This was the result of me asking about Luke as Nanoha Takamachi or Madoka kaname on reddit as Force hunters (with most of his force potential being translated to magical potential) along with a extremely detailed prompt and I didn't have many answers. However I soon got curious and I decided to write this sometime ago, I decided I should release it as a special oneshot even if April Fools has passed.
Warnings:Mado!Luke. LUKE SKYWALKER WAS TG/TF'D INTO MADOKA KANAME IN THIS STORY AND IS A FEMALE! There is a battle scene and she nearly goes dark mode. But otherwise its going to be standard for most fights -If I ever decide to make a series. that might change for sure.
Summary:Having had lived a very interesting and strange life. Luke skywalker 'Kaname' has trained both as a Jedi and a Magical girl. Soon however after she answers a distress signal. she heads to Cloud city despite Yoda's and Obi-wan's and her familiar's warnings, There. She will discover more about her past.
Notes:Again. Luke skywalker is Madoka Kaname in this story. In addition, she is a Force Fighter-designed to fight against Force sensitives with being heavily of extremely resistant to all force skills and against energy weapons, Lightsabers included. her soul gem can't be corrupted. only depleted (to which she naturally replenishes on her own eventually). If you don't like that, If you hate AU stories of want true EU stories, This is not for you. I suspect that Darth vader still has a heart for his kids, Whether they've been transformed of not.
Luke Skywalker 'Kaname' was cautiously making her way though the labyrinth of hallways that was Cloud City's lower levels, Her Familiar she had nicknamed 'Shia' (Despite her's familiar dislike of that name) following closely behind, The last walkway had her walking into a processing vane of some kind, She felt there was someone along with her. however as she was trying to pin down the source she began to think back to the events that had happened as of now as she began dual-gripping her bow out of cautiousness.
Her weapon was just more than a fancy stick of a bow.
It was a way for her to use her powers, a extension of herself, Being capable of handled gently with one hand yet firing destructive bolts that could shatter even bulkheads.
To her as a Magical girl, as her familiar (who she had became close to) called her. It was her very fighting style, Elegant like her lightsaber yet ranged.
That was one of the very first lessons she had learned when her familiar was trying to help her adapt. When she had been shut off from a good chunk of her force potential. And she had been instructed and drilled in it repeatedly, Usually with a kind but firm tone. Though while she still was trying to learn about the Jedi ways, She had never forgotten about that of her alter-ego.
Some lessons, she conceded. were vital to her.
She began to ponder about what had happened lately, Firstly heading to Cloud city without her costume despite her pink hair shoulder-length being a giveaway (as she decided to not use dye for this) and mid-way deciding to transform. being warned by Shia that this may be a way to lure her out. Getting shot at by Boba Fett and then being ambushed by a group of Imperial officers and Stormtroopers while she saw Lando and Leia being taken along.
Sure, She had her blaster. keeping her bow in another hand and her Lightsaber as a backup, But that still didn't prepare her for the brief surprise when she was getting shot at. Seeing Leia being used as a shield and Chewbacca calling out to her, And just as she would have used one of her skills. She heard Leia calling out it was a trap, which confirmed what Shia had been telling her about. She would have accelerated her movements, But the risk of hitting Leia of Chewbacca was too high, and she thought it would be better to instead attack from a different angle.
That led to her attempting to pursue them... And being diverted into the Carbon-freeze chamber where she made her way to the stairs.
That was when she discovered Darth Vader had been waiting for her,
"You may have changed your appearance, Young Skywalker. But you are still not a Jedi yet." It had been hard to hold back her anger at Darth Vader, Who had killed Obi-wan Kenobi. Even now, before this, Her Familiar had muttered something about there being more to Vader, But before she could enquire as to what Shia meant, her companion stopped talking and was quiet despite her own questions.
She had walked up to her, walking up the stairs to face him down personally. Putting her blaster away she had grabbed her lightsaber and went to a fighting position, keeping her bow as a backup to which Vader responded with activating his own Lightsaber.
After staring him down for a bit and her Familiar going out of sight knowing what was going to happen, She started the fight first by swinging at Vader to which he countered. Despite her enhanced strength she was still cautious with her strength put into each blow, and her follow up overhead power attack had resulted in her stumbling a bit only for her to quickly go back to normal.
Staring Vader down, she thought, she had thought back to landing on Dagobah, How that despite Yoda's initial surprise and confusion, the green troll had set to work on training her in the Jedi ways (despite what according to her Familiar with Most of her force potential having went to power her magic. She still had some left to what Shia attributed as 'Legacy compatibility') and she had to admit, Yoda's lessons were especially helpful with her Magical girl side, even although her initial venture into the cave had been frightening.
She had took Darth vader figure's apart, only to see that behind the mask was the face of Leia organa solo. To which her Familiar tried to comfort her in these trying lessons.
Despite her failure in lifting the X-wing (which had briefly caused her to cough up in serious pain) she was still responding well to Yoda's lessons and training, Although her lesson with standing on her hands and trying to lift R2-D2 and a bunch of crates had failed (and once again left her coughing up with pain) she still found Yoda's lessons helpful.
At times, Shia would get into a philosophy debate with Yoda, to which the green troll had learned a bit about her 'condition' and the possible extent of her magical powers, as well as Shia in turn learning about the deeper ways of the Force from Yoda.
However, before she could complete her training. she got the feeling that something was terribly wrong. That her friends were in danger, Leia was.. in terrible danger. She had tried to leave, Yoda however asked that she complete her training first in addition to any potential help Yoda might offer for her Magical powers, Even Shia told her that it may be a trap and that something was fishy (to which Yoda agreed). Despite Yoda's words and Shia's advice she ultimately decided to leave, However before leaving she healed Yoda's body and hugged him gently before leaving, A innate trait of her empathy as a Magical girl. She suspected she may have helped with Yoda's health that way, but she couldn't be sure.
She thought she could save her friends from what was her vision of her friends being in trouble on Cloud city, However by the time she had arrived it was too late.
So much for her trying to save her friends, she thought. Now she was Irritable, unhappy and already feeling dark thoughts in her mind, As she had been unable to exercise the Magical girl part of herself, And because of Yoda trying to persuade her to not go, She had knew about the Witch form, But Shia told her that while it might provide a power increase. The effects to her mentally would be too unpredictable to even consider.
And so like that again, she went on the offensive again. letting out a little boyish-sounding cry before she started swinging in a aggressive series of attack and a graceful swing that resulted in a bladelock (to which she relented) and a combo of her's that was a cross between a dance and pure aggression,
She had managed to drive vader back, However with her being as cautious as she was Vader soon began a aggressive counterattack, forcing her to go on the defensive and beginning to rely on her Magical girl abilities.
In a lull, Vader spoke out, which only irritated her even more, "You have much to learn. young one."
"You find out i hold many secrets of my own!" Despite Vader's quickened breathing, she wasn't even breaking a sweat yet as she responded to Vader's aggressive barrage. However she was soon forced to jump down the stairs as she yelped out and groaned-Despite her Magical girl physiology it was still not pleasant and was soon forced to get out of the way from Vader jumping down the stairs as well.
"Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker." She didn't like the sound of that as she kept her lightsaber pointed at Vader. "Obi-wan knew this to be true," She had retorted a simple "No" in response, as she was already getting more and more stressed out, As she took her steps back and Vader advanced, She heard the sound of machinery moving and ended having to jump down onto the pit behind her,
"All too easy." She knew that the Pit would be activated shortly and as she heard something being flipped, She propelled herself out of the chamber and clung to the Gas pipes, already beginning to move with amazing coordination and mobility.
"Perhaps you've not as powerful as the Emperor thought."
Vader had failed to noticed that she had escaped the trap, However this did not last for long as Vader looked up and proceeded to slash at a pipe above... Setting off the alarms. "Most impressive!"
She had dropped down landing gracefully, grabbing one of the hoses and spraying something at Vader as she readied again into her battle pose and locked Vader into a bladelock.
"Obi-wan and your Pet has taught you well, You have controlled your fear." She grinded her teeth at the statement as her Familiar watched and stood behind her... "Now, release your Anger, Only your Hatred can destroy me."
"Don't listen to what Vader says..." Shia had muttered a bit as she went on the offensive again, displaying her furious combo of various strikes and eventually driving Vader off the platform.
Having seen that she had dealt with Vader for now, She jumped off the platform. having intended to find her friends. She was however confronted by Vader again and this time, Vader ripped some pipes off and hurled it at her,
She had forced these pipes apart with a hand, but Vader was already advancing, To which she and Vader engaged in once again a furious duel. A indication of her Magical girl abilities as she drove Vader back despite being hit by flying objects(and her not even being affected), only for a pipe to smash open the window to her left, Forcing her to jump elsewhere while she saw Vader holding onto something for safety.
And that led to her where she was, As she was still trying to find her way around. the bows on her hair gently fluttering ever so slightly. keeping her senses up for anything that suggested Vader's presence as she was irritated and unhappy in the last hour.
She soon heard the sound of a familiar breathing and jumped back to avoid getting hit by Vader's blade. Already going on the defensive she was soon finding herself taking steps back, Noticing vader's blows were getting stronger and stronger and she gracefully stepped back to avoid Vader's blade (Which had struck the walls on both of her sides)
Soon, the fight went outside, and Vader and she were evenly matched for the most part, partly because she was not relying on her Magical girl side too much for this. She was still standing despite the winds, having gotten used to it from her personal experience with limited flight as she power-attacked Vader causing a lull in the fighting as the Dark man spoke.
"You may be strong, but it is still useless to resist, Don't let yourself be destroyed like Obi-wan did."
'Obi-wan? Like Obi-wan? How dare you mention Ben! I make you suffer for it!'
Driving Darth vader's blade aside, She was soon on the offensive again. as while her inexperience was showing, It was compensated for by her superhuman strength and already beginning to drive him back with her own controlled offensive, Even managing to burn Vader's shoulder slightly before taking a step back and going on the offensive again.
They were now evenly matched in a lock. "There is no escape, Don't make me destroy you. You do not realize how important you have became ever since your appearance has... Changed. Luke, You have only begun to discover your newfound powers. Join me, and i will complete your training, With our combined strength! we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy."
"I NEVER JOIN YOU!" She shouted back as she heard Shia talking. "Control yourself! You are falling for his taunts!"
"If only you knew the power of the dark side, Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father, And even your pet doesn't know."
"Pet? PET!? HE TOLD ME ENOUGH! AND BEN TOLD ME YOU KILLED HIM!"
"Luke? Kaname!? KANAME!?"
She practically screamed as angered, she summoned the Darker side of her within that had been sleeping in her spirit as she attacked Vader furiously, her training from Obi-wan, Yoda. and her Magical training from what she had taught herself and Shia's was now being used in full force against Vader with only the intention to destroy as she felt this power was beyond anything she had experienced. ignoring the gem on her outfit darkening as it began to turn a cloudish gray-pink,. The darkness spreading and covering over half of her gem...
This was the power of a Magical girl's Witch form.
She was driving Vader back with a full demonstration of her powers and abilities, Both as a Jedi and as a Magical girl as one of her blows nearly sends Vader reeling. Not only that, But she was also drawing on some of her innate powers as a Magical girl. accelerating her movements to the point even Vader was struggling to keep up with her, finding himself as Obi-wan in the Mustafar duel as his defense was failing against Luke's superhuman strength, He didn't even have the chance to counter attack as Luke forced him back inside, Forcing him back more and more as she began to furiously swing at Vader's defense, eventually forcing his defense apart and allowing Luke to seize out with a free hand and crush one of Vader's cybernetic hands. causing him to yell in surprise as Luke emerged the victor.
Staring him down, Vader looked back at Luke and noticed that the pinkette's hair was taking a darker shade of pink, more like lavender than pink. and even the bows on her hair were starting to turn black. Being in fear from what he had just witnessed and that Luke was filled with nothing but anger and hatred and... Malice.
He thought he would either say it out now of never.
"Luke... T-there's something y-you must know.."
"WHAT!?" Luke practically shouted as Shia was desperately attempting to calm her down and warning her about her darker form.
"Luke... I am your father,"
Luke stared at him as angry as ever and already beginning to feel the Power overtaking her mind, trying to process what she had just heard. 'D-did he just say... no.. I can't have misheard it... Vader is my father? No..!? Yet.. i sense no.. deceit... only.. Fear and.. sadness...' She felt her anger already beginning to fade as she was confused, and she felt herself becoming very confused and already seeking for answers. "A father? no.. Thats not true... Its impossible.. r-right..!?"
"Luke, It is true. I am your father, Search your feelings."
Sensing this, Luke thought about this. About Shia's theories, and was convinced he was speaking the truth. However this made her very conflicted as her Pink hair stopped turning a darker shade and the black patches on her bow stopped spreading.
"A-a father..? You are my father?"
She was still confused by this as Shia went quiet and Vader attempted to gently reach out toward her, But Luke took a step backwards in revulsion and confusion, However she thought that it almost felt like Vader was almost saddened by that action. "Perhaps too soon, Luke. You are just as beautiful, if not more beautiful than your mother despite... your changed appearance.." To which she sensed that.. he seemed sad at the mention of 'her'. However Luke responded only with confused and angry noises.
'He's my father... my father is a monster... and yet...' Suddenly images began to flash in her mind. Memories of a pink-haired timid yet kind girl who felt.. Similar to her in a way...
Seeing that this was still too much for Luke, Vader withdrew his hand and spoke. "Luke, You can destroy the emperor, He intends to find a better Apprentice. It is why i sought you out, So that together we would destroy him and Rule the galaxy together as Father and... Son." Vader gently held his hand out, trying to comfort her as she still looked confused.
'Father.. So he's my father, i can sense it, He's my father. and i can feel it, Despite what i thought, He is not pure evil. I can feel it... He does seem to... truly love me in a way and is sad with... Someone... Someone? However.. His goals are wrong.. If i join him.. I would only oppress the galaxy...' She thought about it more as it did seem to make sense as to why... Vader would want to seek her out on Cloud city.
"Luke! Listen to Vader, What he has to say." Shia clipped in as despite her conflict and anger she decided to listen.
"Vader... What was your relation with Ben and why did you hate him?" Vader seemed to pause, before speaking with a restrained tone. "I know him well.. We were like Brothers once.. We fought together." His tone seemed bitter yet slightly sad, "Obi-wan however was decaying, like the rest of the order... and too far gone to be brought about to see the truth, That they no longer followed the Force."
"And what Ben told me.. It is true?" Vader seemed hesitant, He spoke however as Shia quietly listened.
"He followed me to Mustafar.. We duelled and he defeated me. He put me inside this nightmarish suit which torments me daily and haunts me." Becoming more curious despite the conflict within, Luke asked him. anger and yet confusion in her eyes. "Then since you are the Empire's symbol... Why wouldn't you upgrade your suit? Couldn't you have made it less nightmarish?"
"I do not know the answer to that question. Luke."
Hopping in. Shia asked Luke as she looked back, "Luke. It seems he may be telling the truth, Personally i advise you that you do not end him. Since if he's really your father... He may still feel love toward you to a extent of so. But i can't argue against you... So whatever you decide to do with your father, Its up to you. Luke..." 'He' spoke with a tone of caution and fear as she watched Luke turn her look back to Vader. "Luke..."
Vader watched as Luke brought her hands back, pointing her lightsaber up as she was conflicted on what to do with Vader as the darker side of her told her to do it. And the side of her who followed her Jedi ways screamed at her to not swing her saber as her hair fluttered. A conflicted yet familiar look in her eyes...
The End(Not)?
