Imperial academy

Luke was dressed in black jedi type clothes, his lightsaber hung securely from his belt.

Vader wanted to make it clear to the military personnel that Luke was an important person, also so he wouldn't be questioned at the imperial academy.

Luke added his black cloak.

He was ready.

Luke exited his quarters and went to find his father. As Luke passed military people their eyes widened and once again their expressions became shocked. Everyone took in his black clothes and then they spotted the lightsaber hanging innocently from his belt.

Luke walked over to his father once he had found him, as he made his way to Vader Luke struggled to keep a straight face.

Through the force Luke felt his fathers amusement and he seemed to approve of his clothing.

Once Luke was with Vader they both made their way to the hanger where their speeder was stored. The imperial academy was not that far away.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER

As his father stopped the speeder, Luke took in the sight.

There was a massive building but in the distance Luke could see lots of smaller buildings, there was no one in sight.

Vader stepped out of the speeder and Luke followed, they made their way into the massive building.

"Where are we going father?"

Vader didn't slow his pace "there is a main office, it's where all the records are kept, we will be going there".

Luke nodded in understanding.

Entering the main building Luke stayed close to his father.

A man in an imperial uniform appeared quite suddenly. He greeted Vader and then Vader introduced him to Luke.

"This is my son Luke Skywalker". Luke heard the pride in his father's voice. Luke stepped forward to the man and shook his hand. The man quickly hid the shock from his face after hearing the word "son".

Clearing his throat the officer said "if you'll follow me sir".

The three of them walked through the hallways of the building, the silence gradually faded when they came upon a load of kids.

The room they entered seemed to be the lunch room, it was quite noisy with the constant talking, however everyone fell silent as Vader and Luke entered.

Through the force Luke sensed fear coming from the kids or more like teenagers, then there was a mixture of curiosity and awe as they spotted Luke. They seemed puzzled as they tried to work out why there was a teenager with Lord Vader and why he was dressed he was. Then all the emotions in the force turned to disbelief when one by one they saw the lightsaber hanging from Luke's belt.

A high ranked officer stood up and addressed the room "Lord Vader is here doing a check up and his son Luke Skywalker had joined him". There was quite a few gasps at the announcement of Vader having a son and all at one the whispering started up.

The high ranked officer roared "SILENCE!"

The teenagers jumped startled but quickly settled down. Vader nodded his head to the officer and walked out. Everyone saluted him. Luke took a glance around the room eyeing the teenagers and then followed his father to the exit, as he was leaving everyone in the room once again saluted.

THE NEXT DAY

Luke was once again at the imperial academy with his father, he had done several rounds witnessing first hand what the academy was all about.

His father was talking to the head of the academy so Luke was left to wonder around, he was nearing the lunch room when he suddenly heard shouting.

Narrowing his eyes Luke walked toward the noise and discovered that it was coming from within the lunch room.

What was going on in there?

Seeing only one way to find out Luke opened the door and was astonished to see the sight that greeted him.

All around the room there was food flying about! There were kids ducking underneath tables and some running along the tops of the tables. It was mainly the older kids that were throwing the food. Suddenly Luke saw green food flying at him, he quickly changed its course using the force.

Stepping all the way into the room Luke shouted "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Quite a few of the kids immediately stopped their food fight and then they started nudging the kids still involved in throwing food. Eventually the room was full of statues.

Through the force Luke sent to his father "Father you are needed in the lunch room" Straight away Vader sent Luke a wave of acknowledgement. Turning his attention back to the young imperials Luke stated "Lord Vader is on his way". Horror filled the kids eyes as they considered the different types of punishments there could be.

Out of the corner of his eye Luke saw a boy sneaking toward the exit. "Stay where you are!" Luke ordered while turning to the boy. That same boy was now smirking "yeah what you going to do?" No one hardly dared to breathe as they waited for Luke to answer. Feeling annoyed at the lack of respect this boy was showing him Luke didn't bother to reply. Instead he reached out with his hand and folded it into a fist, using the force Luke started to force choke him. Only when the terrified boy started to struggle for breath did Luke let him go, he came crashing down to the ground. Glaring at the boy Luke said evenly "you should show me some respect".

Before anything else could be said Lord Vader entered the room. Upon seeing the boy gasping for breath on the floor, Luke felt a wave of approval from his father.

Vader slowly took in the disastrous room wondering which stupid idiot it was that started the food fight.

Every single one of the kids was shaking now, Vader gave them an icy glare. He spoke in a cold mechanical voice "you shall clean up this mess right away and then report to the main hall".

Together Luke and Vader walked out.

They started a conversation up through the force. Luke asked "what are you going to do?" The conversation didn't continue for a moment as Vader considered the question. "The right people will be punished...anyway...how did you force choke that boy?"

"I've seen you force choke people before...I just copied what you did". Vader nodded, then out loud he said to his son "I want you to find out what they teach here and how they teach it. I want you to go undercover for me. I also want you to find out if the people running this place are actually a bunch of idiots or if they are worth keeping alive!"

Bowing his head Luke responded "yes father...I had heard that there would be a flight simulator lesson, I shall go to that".

Vader chuckled "make sure you beat them!"

Luke laughed "of course I will!"

FLIGHT SIMULATOR CLASS

When Luke arrived for the class everyone turned to look at him except the Captain. Luke received curious glances and even hostile glares from the kids. Luke just smirked at them.

The captain got their attention. "Your task is to shoot down as many X wings as possible without getting killed, you'll all have a target time to beat but within that time you must be attempting to shoot the enemy down". He looked around giving them an icy glare "you are to get into teams of 4 and line up at a flight simulator!"

Luke looked around, everyone was getting into teams. However there was one simulator that only had 3 on it and so Luke walked over to that one. "Do you mind?" He asked pointing at the simulator, the other kids shook their heads mutely. Though whenever they thought Luke wasn't looking then they would look over at him with annoyed expressions.

Luke shook his head as he watched everyone's progress, no one was doing particularly well, they needed a lot of practice!

Luke climbed into the simulator for his turn. He started listening extra carefully to the force, sensing danger Luke veered off into a spin and shot at the enemy, the shields weakened.

Luke kept this up for some time and soon the other kids had crowded around him and were cheering him on. Finally though Luke lost focus and was killed.

As Luke climbed out of the simulator the other kids started to fire questions at him.

Looking over at the Captain, Luke couldn't help but grin when he saw how pale he had gone. Obviously a boy had never done that well before on the simulator on his first go.

Smiling at the other kids he gave a few of the boys high fives while in the back of his mind he realized that he should be getting back to his father to report how it had gone.

WITH VADER

"It sounds as though that was their first lesson on the simulator" Vader said thoughtfully.

Luke nodded,he himself had thought that.

Vader turned his attention back to his son "so how did you do in the simulator?"

Laughing out loud "lets just say that I managed to beat a few records" Luke chuckled to himself as he thought of the Captain's face. He wondered what the rest of his time here would be like.
