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.

CHAPTER TWELVE - Present.

"I'm going to kill that spy if it's the last thing I do!"

Luke didn't know whether to scream with fury, or laugh at Han's angry outburst - he hadn't expected the smuggler to return. Glancing at Mara, he motioned for her to follow him as he pulled Obi-wan to his feet.

Looking at him, Obi-wan shook his head. "How long do you think you can really go undetected?" Luke wasn't stupid, he had to realize that sooner or later, he would be found out.

"I have everything under control," Luke said quietly, one arm draping across Obi-wan's shoulders as he lead the Jedi towards the hangar. "You should be worried about your own future."

"I stopped caring about what happened to me, a long time ago." Obi-wan whispered as he shook his head, "they will find you out sooner or later."

"By the time they do, it will be too late." Mara grinned as she reached them, "we know what we're doing."

Snorting, Luke raised his eyebrows. "We? I thought this was my plan?"

"Ah, but who's keeping the Emperor off your back?"

Grinning ar Mara, Luke blinked at her innocently. "I thought that was my father's job?"

Laughing, Mara folded her arms, "so, what am I?"

"A beautiful woman?"

Snorting, Mara chuckled, "Nice save."

As they walked into the hangar, Luke actually froze in shock-

The weapons shipment had made it through! Only the Millenium Falcon was left as the 'escort'; the ship had been shot badly, and Han and stood beside Chewie, swearing angrily as he stared at his ship, a blood soaked bandage wrapped around his head.

"Han!" Running forward, Luke made his voice high with worry. "What happened?!"

"We flew right into an ambush," Han snarled, "we were facing two Imperial Star Destroyers, and that was before the bounty hunters showed up!"

"Bounty hunters? Why were they-"

Luke cut Leia off as she arrived, "The spy must have told the Emperor, that Han would be there."

Looking at Han, Leia shook her head, "We need to get you to the Medbay."

"I'm fine," Han snapped, shrugging Leia off as she reached for the bandage on his head. "We need to get the weapons unloaded-"

"They don't need you for that," Obi-wan smiled at him, "What we need to do, is make sure you're alright."

"Obi-wan's right," Luke placed a hand on Han's shoulder, "We've got everything handled here."

As Han opened his mouth to protest, Leia shook her head. "Stop being stubborn, go and get yourself seen to."

Throwing his hands up in defeat, Han scowled, stalking out of the hangar without another word.

"What happened?" Luke snapped as he glared at his father's hologram, "I thought you were going to make sure the weapons shipment was destroyed? And Han wasn't supposed to make it back!"

"The bounty hunters started fighting each other when they realized they were all after Solo," Vader explained, "we were forced to attack them-"

"And Han escaped while you were fighting," Luke closed his eyes and growled, "I want him dead!"

Vader sighed, "you must be patient Luke." He warned his son, "Don't do anything rash."

Closing his eyes, Luke growled, "He could ruin everything!" And now, Han would be on a mission to discover the identity of the spy.

"Then you will have to be careful," Vader looked at his son seriously, "Don't do anything that will attract attention."

"I know," Luke cocked his head, his angry scowl turning to a slow grin. "But there's no reason why I can't arrange for han to have a little 'accident', while I 'help' him search for the spy."

Vader smiled at Luke, "Then you have solved your own problem."

"Yeah, I have to do everything myself." Luke joked, grinning as his father's eyebrows rose. "Oh, there's one more thing that you'll find very interesting."

Folding his arms, Vader regarded his son curiously. "And what would that be?"

"There's a base on Generis,' Luke told Vader, "It's a communications center for the Outer Rim, and it also has a number of supply depots for the sector."

"Well, there won't be a base on Generis for much longer,"Vader smiled, "The Emperor will be pleased with this information."

"Luke, don't do this."

Glaring at Obi-wan, Luke shook his head. "Don't tell me what to do," he snarled, "or have you forgotten about General Vernan already?"

Blanching, Obi-wan looked away from Luke and shook his head. Of course he hadn't forgotten about General Vernan, he doubted he would ever be able to forget the casual ease in which Luke had killed him. But he couldn't do nothing while Luke planned Han's murder.

Scowling at him, Luke pushed Obi-wan back against the wall of their 'shared' sleeping quarters. "Don't even think about going against me," he snapped, "because it won't be you who pays for your actions." Leaning closer, Luke growled angrily. "Give me a reason, any reason, and I will kill every person on this base."
