Chapter III

Luke and Leia sat in their father's shuttle as it took off. Their father was sitting across from them.

Leia? Asked Luke.

Yes?

Are you Okay?

I'm fine, but how are we going to do this

I don't know. Have you ever met the Emperor?

Yes, said Leia, and she shuddered. When I was eighteen. He's horrifing.

Vader noticed their conversation, "Do do that." He said, "Don't try to keep anything from me or the Emperor. It would be a mistake."

They looked at him, then looked at each other. Sighing, they leaned back in their chairs and remaint silent.

The shuttle landed and Darth Vader stood, and motioned for Luke and Leia to follow. When they got to the ramp is hissed open. Vader started down it, and his children, followed him. The few people in the hanger stopped and stared at them in shock. All three of them ignored it..

The elevator door opened and Luke and Leia scanned the area. They proceeded up the stairs, Luke and Leia in perfect synchronization. When the reached the top, they sew a small black chair, it seemed to raidiate darkness. Vader went to one knee, and Leia was shocked with his subbmisson. Luke and Leia glanced at eachother as the chair turned around, revealing the evil emperor.

The emperor looked at Luke, "Welcome, young Skywalker, I have been expecting you. You know longer need those." Their binders crashed to the ground, "Gaurds, leave us," he spat.

The emperor looked at Leia, and she tried to remain calm, but still shivered under his gaze. "Ah, and I see, Vader, that you have found your second child. Your son's twin." The emperor looked at both of them, "I look forward to your training, in time you will call me master."

"Your gravley mistaken," said Luke, "You will not convert us as you did our father"

"Oh, no my young one, you will find it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things! You, like you father are now, mine."

"No," the twins chouresed together.

"No?" asked the emperor.

Vader wanted to change the direction they were going in, "His lightsaber," he said.

"Ah, yes, your weapon," he set it down on the chair, "Much like your father's, by now you must know that you father will never be turned, as will you."

"Your wrong," said Leia, "Soon we'll be dead and you with us."

"Perhaph you refer to your surprise attack? We are quite safe from your friends here!"

"Your over confidence is your weekness," shot Luke.

"Your faith in your friends it yours!"

Leia said, "Faith and friens is never a weekness, you-"

She was cut of by the emperors darkside lightning, she collapsed to the floor and withered in pain. Soon she was unconcious.

"No!" Yelled Luke, as he called his saber and prepared to strike the emperor. Suddenly, his emerald blade was cut with his fathers red one. The emperor laughed an sat down. Twenty feet away, Leia lay unconcious.

Luke and Vader circled, and then Vader attacked. Luke parreyed the blow with relative ease, he was much better than the last time they met. Slowly, Luke worked his way to his fallen sister. With a spin, jump, and kick, Luke had knocked Vader to the floor.

With lightning speed he raced to his sister. When he got to her, he picked hr up in his arms. Just then Vader approached him, "I will not fight you father" said Luke.

"You are unwise to lower your defenses!"

Luke ran with his sister, and barley missed being hit with his father's lightsaber. It sliced through a beam, and a catwalk came crashing down. Luke pulled Leia into a hiding place as she regained conciousness. Then they heard their father.

"You cannot hide forever!"

"Try us!" spat Leia.

"Give yourselve to the dark side, it is the only way to save your sister. Yes it is very difficult to turn you, but if you will not turn, mabye she will."

Luke was enraged by the threaning of his sister, he rose, with his lightsaber.

"Don't touch her!"

Driven by his anger, he fought Vader, back and back, Vader was surprised by his strength. Luke slashed at his father faster, not realizing he was using the dark side. He slashed again, and took off Vader's hand.

Luke stopped, realizing what he had done, and looked at his own mechanical hand. Leia stood up and walked over to him, "Luke?" she asked softly.

Luke turned to her and smiled, and she smiled back. He turned to his father and helped him up.

"NO! No!" said the emperor, enraged, "Kill him!"

"Enough!" said Vader, "I no longer serve you, and my children never will!"

The emperor raised his spidery fingers, and shot out lightning. Luke turned on his saber, and caught the electricity heading straight for his fathers chest. The electricitiy absorbed into the blade, and didn't harm anyone.

Confused and enraged, the emperor stopped. No jedi, not even the masters were able to deflect the lightning without hatming themselves. Luke was truly powerful. Luke looked at the emperor, sensing the impossibleness of what he had just done. He realized the secret the emperor had carefully hidden from him. He was the more powerful, and he had the abiliy to defeat the emperor. Luke felt the emperor's fear.

SorrY bout the cliff hanger, I'm still tryin to decide how to kill the emperor
