Nothing is mine. All is George Lucas…

Luke was taken to a more comfortable setting were he felt sleep. He was drained of energy. Vader smiled behind the dark mask. His son was almost his. Luke still held some light and with time and his teachings he would master the dark side. Next day came too fast to Luke. He was still being watched by stormtroppers and he was taken to a room where Vader waited for him.

Vader wanted to know how far Obi Wan had "tainted" the boy's mind.

"How much has Obi Wan taught you?"

"Not much, my lord. I only met him when my uncle's astromech droid ran away. He used to come over the house but my uncle didn't like him there. Aunt Beru was the only one who let him in to see me after he saved my life uncle Owen allowed him to come to the house."

"Save your life?" Vader asked.

"The Tusken Raiders attacked me when I was about 8. My grandfather was killed fighting them old Ben Kenobi came and saved me." Luke said with his mind going back in time and remembering the scene like it had just happened. Vader anger was rising and Luke sensed the dark lord's strong feelings. "I am sorry, I didn't want to upset you, my lord." Luke said humbly.

"It wasn't you, Luke. The Tusken Raiders…" Vader made a fist. He remembered too well when he held his mother on his arms. /Now I am complete…/ Shimi's voice echoed within his mind. Luke wondered about what had angered the Sith but he dared not to ask.

"They killed your grandmother." Vader said with anger building up.

"I'm sorry, fa…my lord." Luke spoke in a low voice.

"It is all right to call me father when we are alone."

"Thank you, father."

"He hasn't taught you anything about the force?"

"No. He mentioned something about. He used to say many things about you though."

"What kind of things?" Vader asked with interest.

"He mentioned you were a great pilot and a great warrior. He said you were his best friend."

"Obi Wan was no friend! Look what he done to me!" Vader spat.

"You wear the respirator because of him?" Luke was surprised. "How?"

"When I joined the empire he came after me to kill me. We fought in a planet called Mustafar. He cut my legs and arm with the lightsaber and left me to burn into the molting lava." Everything in the room started to shift out of place as he remembered his last encounter with his old master. His anger joined Luke's anger that started to build up. Luke's mind was reeling. Why would Obi Wan let this happen to his father?

"As you can see, my son. You have been deceived. The Jedi were built up with lies. You must forget what you learned, even the subtle teachings he might have taught you."

"I remember he saying to me that I should never give in to anger…fear…"

"Anger is what gives you power, Luke."

"Close your eyes. Think of a moment in the past that made you angry…"

Luke went back in time, he remembered one fight he had with Biggs Darklighter, the arguments he had with uncle Owen, his mind was playing all dark moments of his life. His anger was building…the truth about Obi Wan…the man that left his father to burn into flames, his heart started to pound faster, the anger was powerful…the objects in the room started to move, fall even explode….Vader was pleased….his son was one step into becoming a Sith…

Luke opened his eyes and understood that the power of the dark side was intense, addicting…but there was something Luke always wanted to know…his guardian's had avoided to talk about his parents, Luke now understood why…his father was no other than the second feared man in the whole galaxy…but then…there was another question that took the dark lord by surprise…

"Father, tell me about my mother."

Ord Mantel

"Your father!" Han was utterly surprised. "What?"

Leia had tears on her eyes. "Han, can you imagine how I feel about this…Bail, my adoptive father told me that my biological father was a Jedi…he would never tell his name because he wanted to protect me. I never pressure him because for me he himself was my father. When I was captured and Vader interrogated me I don't know how I did not fear him as I thought I would…I…." Leia started sobbing, Han held her.

"I'm sorry, Leia. It is kind of crazy to think that a monster like that could have you and the kid as his children…sorry, no offense.."

"None taken." Leia replied.

Star Destroyer.

Vader's respirator faltered. The image of Padme was so bright in his mind that he wanted to scream in pain. He missed her so much…his angel. "So love had blinded you?"

Her voice, her smile…Vader pushed the memories away.

"You must return to your chambers, young one. I have other affairs to take care." Vader spoke coldly. Luke wanted to learn about his mother but once more he dared not to inquire a second time. He sensed that his father was rather uncomfortable with the issue and he didn't want to press.

"Yes, father."

Two stormtroppers came to escort Luke to his room.

"My lord, I will not try to escape." Luke spoke as he saw the stormtroopers coming.

"They are here to protect you." Vader replied.

"Yes, my lord." Luke bowed and left with the stormtroppers.

/ Tell me about my mother…./ His son's question still burned in him as the lavas of Mustafar…He though about her since he had learned of the existence of his son…then, his daughter…The resemblance of the princess with his late wife was uncanny…why hadn't he noticed it?

Luke was taken to his chambers. It was comfortable but he was still a prisoner. He was allowed to view datacards about the Clone Wars, the empire and the Jedi purges, when suddenly a voice called out to him that made him jump.

/Luke/

Luke startled as he saw the glimmering form of Obi Wan. "Ben? You are dead! How?"

"I am one with the Force, I need you to hear me, Luke."

"You let my father burn, why? Why didn't you tell me he was my father?"

"Luke, you must listen to me. Darth Vader is evil, your father was Anakin Skywalker, a good man. He wants to use you, Luke. Don't fall for it. You must hold to the light."

"He is my father, Ben! I don't want to hear you!" Luke was angry.

"Think about the fate of the galaxy if you join him, think about your sister."

"She will rule with me and father!" Luke said with his anger still growing.

"Luke, search your feelings, you are being deceived."

Luke shook his head. "Go away, Ben, I don't want to hear your lies!" Luke spat.

Luke thought about Obi Wan's words…You must hold to the light…but with a powerful father like his, how could this be accomplished?

"Luke. You don't want to join the dark side."

"But…he is my father. I need him."

"I will leave you for now, but I will not give up." Obi Wan said and vanished.

Vader walked in the room, Luke startled. "Who were you talking too!" he growled.

Luke responded quickly. "Obi Wan"

"But he is dead!"

"He talks to me, father."

"What did he tell you?"

"He says I shouldn't join you, that I must hold on to the light side of the force."

"I am don't have patience, Luke. You are my son, don't you forget that! You must do what I tell you or suffer the consequences."

Luke felt the danger of the statement. He had to make a choice and quickly. He idolized a father he never knew but now he is facing the worst nightmare of his life. He was the spawn of evil and yet he believed that it could be good to join his father and take him away from darkness. Could that be done? His mind was playing all the possibilities and Vader stood motionless waiting for an answer.

"Luke, you must choose. Join me willingly or join me by force."

The Skywalker anger rose in Luke. He chose to defy the dark lord. "No! Never! I will not join you!"

Vader left the room, Luke was feeling nervous, he had been through the tortures of the dark lord but he believed his suffering would not be in vain. He knew he was going to suffer but for the sake of his family, his sister and his father. He decided he had to hold on to the light and he prayed to the force that he would bring his father back from darkness.

The alliance was gathered.

"We stole an imperial shuttle and we are going to be able to approach the Hoth System in order to observe their activities," said Mon Mothma. "The Bothan's spies notified that Darth Vader will be overseeing the operations," she continued.

Leia's mind was reeling. If Darth Vader was in Hoth she concluded that Luke would be with him. She couldn't stop thinking about her brother, she was thinking of a plan on how to rescue him when suddenly an idea came…The stolen imperial shuttle…
