Galen felt intense pressure around his throat. His whole body is lifted a few feet from the ground. Vader's has him in a Force choke with a murderous look in his eyes. Galen wanted to fight back, shoot Force lightning at him, but he couldn't. He knows Vader wouldn't kill him, Vader needs him.
"Thanks to your incompetent, those rebels has kidnapped my son." Vader growls. He then released Galen from the hold and turn his back from him. Galen starts catching his breath as Vader spoke. "I should kill you, but unfortunately you're the only one who has real potential of all the Inquisitors. So I'm giving you one more chance to redeem yourself." Vader said.
Galen already knew what Vader wants from him. "I will find Luke and eliminate the rebel cell that took him from you." He vows.
"I know you won't fail me this time, Starkiller." Vader replied.
Galen bows and was about to leave the room. But something stops him. He turns around to his master. "May I ask why you're sending me to rescue him? I figure you'll go save him yourself." Galen question.
"Believe me, Starkiller, you have no idea how badly I wanted to tear the Galaxy apart to find my little one. But if I do that, the rebel alliance will take advantage of my absence in Coruscant."
"I understand, master."
"Before you leave, take a few Inquisitors with you and take as much Stardestroyer as you need. I want no rebel left alive. Especially that Togruta you fight earlier."
"Yes, master." Galen bows. He leaves with his fists clenching. Time to find that Togruta and end her, he vows.
The moment Galen left his chambers, Vader headed straight to his meditation room. He hasn't given up on finding Luke's Force signature.
"Luke... Luke... Can you hear me, son? If you can hear me, please use the Force to response." Vader telepathically said.
No response. Vader let out a few curses under his breath. "Those rebels will pay. Ahsoka will pay. Luke will be found and will never leave my side again." He snarls
Luke felt a light pressure from the back of his head, but quickly shook it off. Probably nothing, Luke dismissed. It's been a full day since the rescuing and he couldn't be happier. Right now he's in a piece of junk of a ship call the Millennium Falcon. He, Ahsoka, Han, and Chewie separated from the rebel cell.
Ahsoka said it was too dangerous for the rebels to be close to Luke. Luke didn't mind not waking up early to switch to another ship. The cell doesn't even know where they're at in case if captured by his father. He hopes to the Force he never sees his father again. Not as long as he sees those hideous yellow eyes.
He enters the cockpit of the ship, where only Han is there. No sign of Ahsoka or Chewie anywhere. "How ya feeling, kid?" Han greeted.
"Better than I ever had before." Luke smiles brightly.
Han couldn't help but blush on how pure Luke's smile is. "I know we just met, but can I ask you a personal question, Kid?" Han asks.
"Shoot."
"Why would you give up your luxury life in exchange of hiding from your own father. I mean you have everything and I just can't understand why you threw it all away."
Luke smiles fell and rubbed his arm. "I don't really have everything. I didn't have freedom. All I did was just watch the holonet because I'm locked in my room every day. And…" Luke got quite as tears build up in his eyes.
"Oh sith! I didn't mean to make you upset! We can stop talking about it! Please don't cry!" Han panics.
"No, it's okay. I need to confront this. I keep avoiding this because I know the truth will hurt."
"If it'll make you feel better, kid, go for it."
It took a few minutes before Luke could continue. "In my heart, I believe my father didn't love me for who I am as a person. I think the only reason he 'loves' me is because of my mother. Because I'm her son and the only thing left of her is why my father's so possessive of me."
Han wanted to say, "that's not true. I'm sure your father loves you very much". But let's be real, Luke's mostly likely telling the truth.
"I don't even know my mother's name." Luke mutters quietly.
"Her name was Padme Amidalia."
Luke and Han turn around to see Ahsoka standing by the doorway with a smile on her face. She enters the cockpit and puts her hand on his shoulder. "Your mother was a senator of Naboo. She was courageous, righteous, and kind. She never backed down from a political injustice. Oh Luke, she would have loved you till eternity." Ahsoka describes.
Luke is now crying tears of joy. He wipes a couple of tears away before responding, "She's sounds like a wonderful woman. I wonder what would she think it father now?"
Ahsoka's face fell. "I don't know." She admits. "All I know she loved your father dearly. She died of a broken heart when she learned Anakin turned to the dark side."
"She died of a broken heart!? Bantha shit!" Han exclaims. "There's no way in sith hells someone that young dies of heart problems. Especially if she was healthy. No, I think something else caused her death!"
"You're probably right. I also think Palpatine has something to do with her death." Ahsoka agrees.
Chewie suddenly lets out a roar. "What he said?" Luke asked.
"He said we're approaching Ahch-To." Han answers.
"We're in the Outer Rim already?" Luke gasp.
"This baby is the fastest ship in the entire Galaxy." Han proudly smirks.
"Yeah, I also had the same reaction when the ship arrived fast from Corellia to Dantooine." Ahsoka chuckles.
"Well next time, you learn not to judge a ship by its appearance." Han smugly said.
"So why are we in the Outer Rim?" Luke suddenly asks.
"Because we're gonna be the most wanted people in the entire Galaxy. Trillions of people will be hunting us down. Bounty hunters and Inquisitors will be after us for sure. The Outer Rim is the safest place since it's away from the core worlds." Han explains.
"Oh come on, Solo. I wouldn't say 'trillions' will be after us." Ahsoka rolls her eyes. Chewie lets out a roar. "What!?" She gasped. She went over to the holonet to search something. Han and Luke peak over her shoulder to see what she's searching. All three of their eyes widen in shock.
There's three wanted poster for each of them. For Ahsoka and Han are Dead or Alive. For Luke is alive only and unharmed. But the thing that was shocking was the reward money. Ahsoka and Han's are over 4 billion credits. And Luke's… Let's just say it's over 20 digits.
"Oh my stars!" Han gasps, looking at Luke's bounty. "We're definitely gonna have people after us. I wouldn't be surprised if civilians will hunt us."
"Don't worry, the planet Ahch-To is devoid of any human and alien life forms. We'll be safe for a couple of months." Ahsoka assures them.
"I hope you're right." Luke said.
"I'm not getting paid enough for this." Han mutters.
"You're only here because they're paying you to protect me?" Luke ask, feeling hurt.
Han saw the hurtful expression in his face. There's even tears coming out of his eyes. He's currently kicking himself in his mind for revealing it. Ahsoka was about to provide an explanation, but Han beat her to it. "Nah, kid. It was just an expression. I only know you for a day, but I like you, kid. You won't be getting rid of me that easily." Han lies explains.
Luke smiles and his tears instantly went away. Ahsoka claps her hands, getting Luke' attention.
"Since our bounties are incredibly high, that means we're gonna be chase down a lot in the future. We need to be prepare for that. Especially you, Luke. I need to start training you in the ways of the Force." Ahsoka said.
"Haven't you been doing that already?" Luke asks.
This makes Ahsoka chuckles. "No, Skyguy Jr. That's not even the start of it. I'm gonna train you into becoming a Jedi."
Like your father before you, Ahsoka added in her head.
"I can't wait!" Luke exclaims in joy.
"We'll start training immediately after we land."
"I'll do my best, master Ahsoka."
Hearing the word "master" caught her off guard a little. She smiles and promise herself she won't fail him like so many others failed Anakin. She will swear on her life that Luke will become the greatest Jedi Knight the Galaxy has ever seen.
