OUT OF THE DARK AND INTO THE LIGHT.

Vader discovers Luke when he is 15, with the truth revealed Luke finds questioning everything he thinks he knows. Will he turn to the darkside, join Vader, overthrow the Emperor and rule the galaxy with him as Father and Son? Or will Vader come to love the son he never knew, and finally fulfill his destiny? Suitless Vader.

Ok I have jumped forward to when Luke, Han, Chewie and Obi-wan reach the control room on the Death Star, and then to after Han, Chewie and Luke have rescued Leia. And this chapter will be a little longer

CHAPTER FIVE - Present.

Luke froze as he stepped off the ship, twenty men stood with blasters - apparently 'Vader's son' was not welcome.

"What are you doing?" Leia strode off the ship, "lower your weapons!"

Willard, the commander of the Rebel forces, glared at Luke. "He, is Vader's son."

"Is he Vader himself?" Leia squared her shoulders, "he rescued me from Vader, he helped recover the droids - the R2 unit has the The technical readouts of that battle station - without him we would have no way to destroy it."

Luke stepped forward, "I can defend myself," he smiled at Leia, then face Willard and the other men. "I didn't choose to have Vader as my father," he told them, using he anger at Owen and Beru to fuel the anger in his voice.

Shrugging the cloak he wore off his shoulders, he let his injuries become visible."the first time he beat me I couldn't walk for a week," of cause that had been an accident in a lightsaber duel, but he wasn't going to tell them that. He glared at them, "would any of you remain loyal to someone who beat you repeatedly?"

Willard frowned, his eyes filled with horror, "why did you leave with him? Why choose to live with him?"

Luke looked down and shrugged, "I was fifteen years old boy and had just learned that the only 'parents' I had known had lied to me my whole life, that my father was alive, and he was the only one telling me the truth." Luke swallowed and winced as his broken ribs ached, "I made a mistake. And when I finally escaped, my Aunt and Uncle were killed in retaliation."

Leia glared at them and folded her arms, "lower your weapons, he is no threat to us."

No threat to them? Luke barely held back his laughter, he was going to destroy them all!

"We are approaching the planet Yavin. The Rebel base is on a moon on the far side. We are preparing to orbit the planet."

On board his personal super star destroyer, the Executor, Vader grinned at Obi-wan, holding the Jedi on his feet by his throat. "You are about to witness you final failure," he told him, "with the destruction of Yavin, the Rebellion will end."

Obi-wan choked, struggling to breathe, his eyes wide with horror. Luke had turned, he had betrayed them all; and now, he was going to destroy the galaxy's only hope for freedom.

"Soon no one will dare to resist the Empire," Vader stared out of the cock pit, "I hope you enjoy this moment Obi-wan, it will be the last thing you see before you die."

Luke, 3PO and R2 entered the huge spaceship hangar and hurried along a long line of gleaming spacefighters. Flight crews rushed around loading last-minute armaments and unlocking power couplings.

In an area isolated from this activity Luke found Han and Chewbacca loading small boxes onto an armored speeder. He blinked, he had thought that Han would stay, shaking his head he walked over. "So...you got your reward and you're just leaving then?"

"That's right, yeah!" Han turned to look at him, "I got some old debts I've got to pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you?" he frowned and shrugged, "Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. I could use you."

Luke scowled, his father had said that no one could leave the planet - that included Han, but he could hardly force him to stay, all he could do was try to convince him to stay. "Come on! Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen, what they're up against." he glared at Han, "They could use a good pilot like you. You're turning your back on them."

Han snorted, "What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it?" he asked, the he shook his head. "Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like suicide."

It was a good point, sighing Luke shrugged. If he couldn't make him stay, then he couldn't make him stay; his father would have to deal with it. "All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?"

As Luke turned and strode off, Han hesitated, then calls to him. "Hey, Luke..." when he turned to face him, Han smiled, "may the Force be with you!"

Luke smiled and waved, the Force certainly would be with him, after today, the Rebellion would end, and the Emperor would finally trust him.

"The Death Star has cleared the planet, rebel base in range."

Obi-wan couldn't do anything to stop what was to come, closing his eyes he took a deep breath - or as deeper breath as Vader's grip would allow - "Do you think... Padme would be proud... Of what you did to her son?"

Vader jerked, his face twisting with a pained scowl, "I made Luke strong. because of me, he is more powerful than he could ever have been as a Jedi."

"You made him... Evil..." Obi-wan's eyes were still closed as he thought back to the innocent boy Luke had been, "you... ruined him...!" He gagged, choking as Vader's hand tightened around his throat.

Luke had thought of everything, the fighters firing knew he was the leader, knew not to fire at him; he had needed a way off the planet, the only way had been to 'fight' the death star.

The man covering him, his old 'friend' Biggs and Wegde, had been killed, now it was just him on his 'attack run'. he was just buying time now, he didn't want to risk anyone on the planet getting off, couldn't allow them to rebuild the Rebellion somewhere else.

Then, as he fired and accidentally 'missed', the unexpected happened_

Han flew the Falcon in and fired his own torpedo into the thermal exhaust port, "You're all clear, kid." his voice came over his mike, and Luke silently swore, pulling away from the death star, "now lets get away from this thing before it blows!"

This was not happening, couldn't be happening. Luke slammed his fist into the controls of his fighter and silently screamed in rage.

The sudden explosion took Vader by surprise, he released his hold on Obi-wan, staring in shock at the fireball that had been the death star.

Obi-wan laughed, "what was that you were saying..." he asked, coughing slightly as he drew in a deep breath, "... Something about the Rebellion's destruction? Or did you say Salvation? I don't think I was listening."

Vader snarled, opening the com link with his son, he clenched his fist. "What happened?"

Luke's answer was filled with barely restrained fury, "it was that stupid smuggler, he came back!" Luke snarled, "I had everything planned, then he showed up and ruined everything!"

"The Emperor will not be pleased," Vader growled softly, "when he hears of this_"

"I know," Luke sighed, "i have to go back to the Rebels. I'll still be able to destroy them," he let out an angry hiss, "it will just take longer."
