PART THREE: REBELLION
CHAPTER TWELEVE: THOUGHTS
She was tired. She was tired of being on the ship. She hated the Executor. She was tired of being followed by stormtroopers everywhere she went. Oh, yes. There were things she loved about this new life, such as the respect she commanded, but they were outweighed by the dislikes. She was happy with her newfound brother, and her friend, Caryan Felth. She could sometimes even forget that her father was Darth Vader. Sometimes. She looked at herself in the mirror. Somehow, she looked different from the determined rebel leader she had been on Bespin, on Hoth. She looked different from the princess who had lost her planet and was just beginning to find love. She looked in the mirror, and saw that she was thinner, and her eyes had a slightly haunted look in them. They still shone with determination, but they had an older look now. She held herself differently too. She saw in that mirror a woman who held herself like a queen, who appeared powerful, yet sad. She was still very beautiful, but she was paler now. Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan and daughter of Bail Organa of Alderaan looked at her reflection in the mirror; and Princess Leia Organa Skywalker, daughter of Darth Vader and Queen Amidala of the Naboo, sister to Prince Luke Skywalker, and captive rebel leader stared right back at her.
Luke had been practicing with remotes when he felt his sister's excitement that only he could feel, as her twin. Reaching out with the Force, he found that she had hurriedly blocked out her thoughts and feelings with the Force. He tried tentatively to breach the barriers, only to be pushed back again and again. "She has developed those barriers far better than I believed to be possible," he thought to himself as he rushed as he rushed to Leia's room. When he finally got the door unlocked, he found her hunched over the computer screen. "What are you doing?" He asked, coming up behind her. Leia's hands flew over the screen, trying to hide pictures of Tatooine that were showing on the screen. "Oh, it's you Luke." She said with obvious relief. "You startled me." He pried her hands away and saw a looming picture of Jabba's palace. "What are you doing researching Jabba?" He asked. When he had finished reading the information, he turned to her. "You are leaving, aren't you?" It was more of a statement than a question. She met his eyes. "Yes." He looked over the information again, and felt his sister's fear as she let the barriers down. He saw that she was sick of being cooped up, being unable to do anything, and that she was missing Han. "You will need more people to infiltrate the palace if you are gonna pull it off," he informed her, with his discreet acceptance of her escape. "Would you be that extra person, brother?" she asked, praying he would say yes. "Yes, I will." He replied, embracing her in a tight hug.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE BEGINNING
Vader seemingly did not notice his daughter's sudden change in mood. Perhaps he merely thought that she was happier because she was making friends with officers. Perhaps he suspected nothing when she wanted to learn how to fly his personal shuttle. But, perhaps he thought nothing of it, because he was letting her go. Deep in his usually cruel heart, he knew that he couldn't keep her cooped up like he had so far. He was appalled when he looked into his darkness and saw that there was a bright light shining through all of his Sith training. He also noticed how his body was healing itself. He wished yet again, that he were whole with his family; Amidala, Leia, Luke, and his mother. It would even be nice to see that old guy, Obi-Wan again. It was amazing how his feelings were changing. He thought for sure that he hated Obi-Wan. Oh well. Just then, a nearby lieutenant called to him. "L-L-L-Lord V-V-Vader???" the man stammered. "What is it?" Vader inquired sharply. "Well, s-sir," the man gulped. "It s-seems that the p-prisoners Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C3-PO, well sir, they're cells are opening." The guy looked positively hilarious, cowering before the dark lord like that. "Who cares," said Vader flippantly, realizing that his children would be escaping. He felt a pang of sadness, but he would recapture them soon enough, he knew. "Don't do anything about it, Lieutenant, or your supervisor will have to find a replacement for you." The man trembled when he heard the threat in Vader's voice.
"He knows," Leia stated to her brother, not the Wookie, or the droids. "Who is he?" Lando asked, hurrying to keep up. "No one you like," Luke replied. Calrissian noticed the subtle change in the princess, even in the boy. He saw that Leia seemed more regal, but with a haunted look in her stance. Even as she ran to escape, she looked like a queen dancing in her court. Luke also was changed. He seemed much more sure of himself. Like he thought he was important. Lando doubted that. But why else hadn't the boy been killed??? Oh well, he thought. "He hasn't incinerated the Falcon yet," Leia called as they raced to where the _Falcon_ was stored. Luke was uneasy when he saw the ship unguarded. They raced down to it and boarded Han's prized possession quickly. Once inside, Lando headed for the pilot's seat, but Leia held him back. "Oh, no you don't." She murmured. "I'm going to fly this baby," Lando looked at her shocked. "I never knew you could fly." Luke looked at him, remembering that he and Leia had acquired new skills, both in the Jedi arena and in the flying arena. "We both can now, Lando," Luke whispered. Lando watched awestruck as Leia made the most perfect take off; without Chewie's help too. He was clearly amazed. Chewie just sat there in the co-pilot's chair, dumbfounded.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: FREEDOM
When Leia took them into hyperspace, she started a conversation with Luke. * Should we tell them? * She asked. * Yes * He answered simply. They deserve to know he said to himself. * I heard that * Leia shot at him. "Lando, Chewie," Leia began. "Luke and I have something to tell you. Come to the lounge." Luke used the force to slide open the blast door separating the cockpit from the rest of the ship. Lando was frightened of what she would say. He hoped, oh hew prayed that they wouldn't say that they were engaged. Leia led them to the lounge, with Lando and Chewie, as well as Artoo and Threepio, following Luke and her. They sat down. "I think you should be the one to tell them, Leia," Luke stated. "You are after all trained as a diplomat." Leia looked at her hands. Then she stared right at Lando. Lando stared right back. "We aren't who we seem to be." She finally said. "Well, that's obvious," Lando said. "Yes, but you won't like who we _really_ are." She stated, looking at her hands again. Luke rushed over to her, hugged her. "We are his kids." Luke said quickly, still holding Leia in an embrace. "Whose?" Lando inquired, not understanding. Chewie understood the pain on Leia's face, though. He barked the equivalent of 'Who cares?' in Wookie language. Leia let out a long, ragged moan, and then whispered. "Vader's kids." All of a sudden, she started crying in Luke's arms. Lando finally understood. He took it all in. The princess crying in the kid's arms; no, her brother's arms. Suddenly, he found himself over there, whispering words of comfort to the clearly exhausted and distraught woman. Luke carried her to a bunk in the Falcon, all the while whispering to her. He put her in a bed, then left to talk to Lando. Leia caught bits and pieces of their words, like "Yeah, Vader," and "Hard time" as well as several 'ouch's'. After several minutes more of sobbing, the princess drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Meanwhile, Luke and Lando and Chewie were talking. Lando spoke softly. "Are you really Vader's kids???" Luke looked straight into his eyes. "In a manner of speaking, yes." He replied. Lando looked away. Chewie barked understandingly. "So you ain't a spy or anything, right?" Luke laughed and shook his head at this suggestion form Lando. "Anything else you wanna know Lando?" Luke asked, still laughing. "Ouch," Lando muttered under his breath, thinking of how horrible it must have been to learn of such a horrible lineage. "I for one," Luke said, yawning, "am going to sleep." Luke left Lando and Chewbacca to turn off the 'droids and find their own place to sleep. Lando walked off muttering "Ouch," to himself while Chewie went to his bunk.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN: AFTER EFFECTS
"Sir," Caryan Felth alerted Vader, "sir, the Emperor commands that you contact him, now." Caryan was not afraid of the menacing dark lord. Vader just looked at the man, then stormed off to his quarters to talk with the emperor. He knelt, once he had entered the secure contact room thing. "What is it, my master?" He began with his traditional greeting. "Where is young Skywalker?" The Emperor inquired. "He has escaped my master, along with the other prisoners, aboard the Falcon." Vader stated, knowing full well that he would face the consequences for his 'failure.' The Emperor was clearly displeased. "You will capture him again Lord Vader," the Emperor growled, "and if you don't," he continued, "you shall reap the consequences." The Emperor said with finality. "If I may, my master," Lord Vader began, "I believe that they will most likely attempt a rescue of Solo, it would be wise to let them think they have escaped us, and then catch them unaware." The Emperor smiled at Vader's suggestion. "So be it, Lord Vader." He stated in goodbye as his image winked out of the holo field. Vader rose, and stalked out of the room, fuming. Well, he thought. At least they can be free for a little while. Vader had done well in hiding his newfound emotions form the Emperor.
Lando woke early in the morning, hoping to find the lounge all to himself. Boy, was he in for a surprise. "Bzzzzzzzmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" was the first sound he heard. He stepped uncertainly into the lounge, only to get a bolt in the leg. "Youch!" He cried in alarm. "Oops," muttered Leia, turning off her lightsaber and telepathically instructing Luke to do the same. Lando just stood there, shocked into stillness. "Jedi?" He finally managed to stammer out. His mind was whirling with tales of those legendary peacekeepers, who had been wiped out by Vader and Palpatine. He couldn't believe that the kids before him were Jedi. He just wouldn't. "Yeah, Lando." It was the princess that piped up.
"We are Jedi," Luke finished for her. Lando just fainted.
Later that day, the people on board the Millennium Falcon decided to hold a meeting. "We are here to rescue Han, and get back to the Rebellion." Leia stated simply. "We need a plan of action." Luke finished. Leia spoke of her plan, and then Lando put in suggestions. Even the droids were a bit helpful. Chewie was very eager to rescue Han, so they left for Tatooine as soon as they had decided on a perfect plan of action.
(Now this is where the reader goes and watches the first part of ROTG, with a few minor variations. Instead of just Lukie boy in the holo, Leia is in there too, and they switch their lines off, so Leia says stuff too. Lando is still a palace guard, and Leia still goes in like Boushh. BUT . . . . . Lando is not in the throne room when Leia takes Han out of carbonite. Lando has already broken Chewie out and they are waiting in the Falcon outside of the palace. Luke is waiting inside the palace unseen by everyone but Leia, just in case something goes wrong. Leia releases Han, while Luke uses the Force to kill Jabba unseen and uses an illusion to make people think that Jabba is still there. He also takes Han, Threepio, and R2-D2 out to the ship while Leia releases all of the prisoners, gives them some money, and helps them to a shuttle outside of the palace that will take them to Mos Espa. After that, they let the force illusion fall, and they are all safe aboard the Falcon)
