CHAPTER 3

Welcome back guys so this chapter will be oriented towards star wars side or specifically the battle of endor. Also this chapter has a huge surprise coming up. A few things will be different here than the movies. So without further ado let's get onto it.( Also keep in mind that the dialogues will not be the same as in return of the Jedi.)

/

Luke skywalker walked into the imperial base where he sensed Vader hoping he could save his father from the dark side. He walked towards a group of storm troopers and surrendered putting forth his lightsaber in front of them.

Stormtroopers rushed to vader to inform him that a rebel has surrendered. Vader reached out in the force to see who they have captured and was shocked when he saw luke in the force. He did not believe he would surrender this easily. He tried to reach his mind while storm troopers were bringing him but stopped as he felt a strange sensation in the force. A sensation he had never felt in his entire lifetime and to his surprise it was not coming from Luke. He thought that luke might contain some answers to this mystery but ignored it as he knew Luke would soon join the dark side and answer the all the questions willingly.

Vader looked at his son and said" welcome my son. It was wise for you to surrender and I suspect you accept your defeat and seek the teachings of our great emperor."

Luke replied" no father I came here to redeem you from the emperor's false teaching."

Vader replied" son the emperor is far more wise than both of us. He has already saw your future including mine."

Luke asked" I am sure he had seen the future but what he told you is true? In all your years of serving the emperor you never noticed that all the promises he made to you never came true. If he truly saw everything than why did your wife died? Why he never told you that you will lose your fight against obi wan on mustafar? I can feel the conflict within you father. Let go of the dark side. There is still time."

Vader leaned on the railing and thought what luke said and replied" no I can not do that son. It is too late for me."

Luke replied" then my father is truly dead."

These words fell like stone to his heart. But after all this years of suffering he has learnt to endure pain both mental and physical. But as he escorted luke to the shuttle he again felt that strange feeling in the force however this time it was more powerful. Vader could actually feel the strange feeling across his body. He looked towards Luke and he was also shaken by such strong and strange feelings coming from the force. Were it not for the immediate threat of rebel fleet he would have personally left for the origin of the feeling in the force. He thought the emperor must have more knowledge about it.

The shuttle reached death star and vader along with Luke headed to turbolift. A few death troopers saluted him as he reached the front door of emperor's observation room.

Emperor said" welcome lord vader I assume that young skywalker has accepted defeat."

Luke replied" no palpatine I am here to end your tyrannical rule over this galaxy."

Palpatine replied" I see that you are misguided by false teachings of the Jedi as your father was once."

Luke said again" no he was not misguided he was lulled into an emotional trap created by you. The rebellion will soon end your rule."

Palpatine laughed and replied" your friends down on the moon have been captured and my fleet is moving in to intercept your fleet. The rebel scum will be removed forever today. If you not believe me you can see for yourself. Join me luke and I might spare your pathetic fleet. This is your only chance."

Luke watched out the viewport and saw an MC 80 cruiser getting blown up by the death star laser. He mourned as he saw his fleet getting decimated and lives of hundred of soldiers being lost. He had to end the emperor to stop this madness. He was about to let rage take over him when suddenly he heard yoda's voice saying" my teachings remember you must. Rage never is the answer. He calm down and looked straight in palpatine's eyes saying" I will not fail my master as my father did I will not turn to the dark side."

Palpatine did not expected this but he was sure he could find another apprentice he then said" so be it Jedi."

Palpatine started electrocuting him and he screamed in pain saying" father help me please."

Palpatine interjected and said" foolish he can not turn back to the Jedi way. I have trained him such."

But luke continued to plead to his father. Vader's inner conflict increased and suddenly he heard Padme's voice saying" Anakin help our son don't lose him like you lost me. It was not your mistake when I died it was the emperor's. it always had been. Don't let him take our son too"

Vader now looked at emperor in hatred and raised his fist. Emperor looked at vader in utter disbelief his apprentice who had served him for years was now choking him. In all of the futures he saw he never saw vader betraying him. But emperor was strong too he suddenly directed a force lightning towards vader. Vader was thrown back but not out of the fight. he quickly wielded his lightsaber and threw luke's lightsaber to him. Meanwhile emperor grasped for air and ignited his own lightsaber saying" you have done a grave mistake lord vader now you shall feel the full force of the dark side"

Palpatine said this as he somersaulted(just like in episode 3) towards vader he landed a blow toward vader's waist but was blocked by luke. He let his rage flow through and agaun blew a strike on vader however this time vader blocked it and send a force push. Palpatine flew back and hit hard on the wall but he was not out of the fight yet. He again jumped but this time toward luke and both engaged each other while also fighting vader. Even though palpatine was powerful but he still had his limit's. he knew he had to end the fight quickly. He again send a continuous force lightning towards both of them they both blocked it using their lightsaber. Then suddenly vader released his own force lightning at emperor. He was not prepared for this and he cried out in pain as he lost his lightsaber along with a finger. In anger he tried to throw a force push but was stopped by vader who was doing the same trick. Luke also helped vader as he used the force to pull back the emperor but he was just too strong. With a mighty push of force he send both flying towards the wall. Vader's respirator was now damaged as he started using the force to breathe. Palpatine reached towards vader and was about to deliever the final blow when suddenly his chest screamed in pain as he looked down and saw a lightsaber through his chest and soon fell to the ground. Luke looked at her but couldn't recognize who she was as she was in inside a hood but it was different for vader or rather Anakin. He looked at her and said" Ashoka is it you?"

She replied" couldn't recognise your snips my master?"

Anakin rushed to her and hugged her tightly. Ashoka looked at anakin's breather and said" we will hug later but we must go now and tend you to a medic immediately. Just hold on a bit longer.

Anakin was rushed towards the shuttle hold while Luke kept fighting all stormtroopers coming in the way and Ashoka helped Anakin and sometimes deflected a few shots coming at her. suddenly Luke saw millennium falcon heading into the death star from a view port. He said" we need to get out of here soon it's about to blow."

Anakin with whatever was left in him rushed with ashoka with luke taking the lead and slaughtering anyone who was foolish enough to shoot at them. They then reached they reached the shuttlehold and kill the stormtroopers rushing to the last shuttle. Luke then beheaded the pilot and took over controls. Meanwhile Anakin kept saying to ashoka" I am sorry ashoka for everything I had done. Please forgive me."

Ashoka replied" don't be my master you were lulled into a trap. You never did this all willingly."

Anakin then fainted from all the emotional and physical strain. Ashoka also force healed Anakin so that he may survive long enough to get medical attention. When she made sure that Anakin was fine she went over to cockpit as he dodged a fighter and sped towards a Nebulon B class medical frigate. As he approached it he said" this is luke skywalker upon the imperial shuttle. We need immediate medical attention to a guest lord vader aka Anakin skywalker."

The operator was perplexed he asked" are you sure about that commander?"

Luke replied" yes I am he is not what he used to be also inform the forces onboard the ship to not fire at him at any cost."

Operator replied" as you wish commander."

Luke landed his shuttle inside the hangar bay. suddenly everyone stopped and looked at vader's mask and glared menancingly to the one who killed thousands if not hundred of thousand of rebel soldiers. But they were ordered by captain to not fire upon him and soon went on their work. But as soon as they returned back to normal they were again amazed as they saw the explosion of death star. The medical crew who came to treat vader also flinched and a look of amazement and happiness passed through their face even being concentrated on their work. Whereas the rest of crew cheered and hugged and couples kissed as they saw the fruit of their labours i. of the empire.

Luke watched as they took away vader to med bay and asked ashoka with a look of worry on his face " will he be alright?"

Ashoka replied " I have fought beside your father he is a tough guy. Don't worry he will be all right."

Luke now relieved sat down on the floor exhausted from the fight and stress. Suddenly however a question came to his mind a question which need to be answered he asked ashoka" how did you came here in the first place?"

Ashoka said" uh…. Yeah about that"

STRIDENT CLASS FRIGATE

DAGOBAH SYSTEM

A UNSC frigate silently came out of slipspace and scanned the planet now known to UNSC by name dagobah.

Captain Fernandez looked on his console and a horror came across his face something he won't be able to erode away from his mind for quite some time. But he regained his serious composure and send a highly encoded message to the Infinity" Flood presence detected in system designated as dagobah. Coordinates given by chief were correct and if it's the same for others then we are in deep trouble."

/

Whew that was a long chapter. So how did you liked my surprise? I thought vader would be needed to fight the flood and don't worry it doesn't contain only flood fight everyone. So a quick peek in the next chapter which will hopefully be out within 10-12 days.

How ashoka got to death star will be revealed.

Briefing between master chief and lasky will take place.

This is unsc infinity 117 signing out.
