Warning: one of the longest chapters!
Anakin sits in the pilot seat with Lucas in the co-pilot's. He starts up
the ship, and launches back into the sky to Corascant.
"Anakin how is there a deserted part of Corascant? Isn't the whole planet one big city," asks Padme from behind?
"Well we destroyed part of the city far away from the Jedi Temple."
"How is that possible?"
"We put explosives underground, creating part of the city to collapse. We then created a Sith Temple, and it's been there for three years."
"But they all said that was an earthquake."
"Well that was the only explanation they can think of. Even though, Corascant never had an earthquake before."
Padme' looks back out the window in silence, watching the sparkling stars shimmer in the blacken sky; she hopes Luke is all right, wondering what the Sith Lords might be doing to him. She feels something touch her; she turns her head and sees it was Lei. She was moving in her sleep, moaning a little bit at points. Padme' brushes Lei's brown locks from her face to look upon her serene expression. She wonders how Lei stays strong, and have a willful spirit, from five years of hiding, seeing people die and suffer in anguish. Lei is only five and yet she was never scared, always supportive, and willing to help. But then her thoughts were disrupted by a shake of the ship.
"What was that," asks Padme'?
"Something hit us," answers Anakin. Anakin checked every screen, and radar to find out what hit them.
"Anakin look," says Lucas pointing at the window in front of them. Anakin looks up with the rest and stares in awe.
"It's a Death Star," breathes Anakin.
Then both Padme' and Lei flinch as if something hit them.
"He's in there," says Padme'.
"He's in pain," adds Lei.
"How are we going to get in there," asks Lucas.
"The Emperor still thinks I'm one of his main Padawan right?"
"His main Padawan?"
"Yes, The Emperor sometimes has up to two Padawans, the rest of them are just corrupted beings with Jedi power."
"Oh but what is Padme's friend?'
"She's corrupted," speaks up Padme'.
"Well now that's all cleared up, but how are you going to find him; you don't know what your son's signature feels like."
"That's when Padme' and Lei come in; they'll pretend to be my prisoners."
"Ah ok, but what about me?"
"You'll guard the ship."
"Oh ok- Wait a minute! I'll be left in this ship alone? They'll find me, and rip me up into shreds," exclaims Lucas!
"Calm down Lucas, there is some traps doors in this ship; you have plenty of places to hide."
"I hope your right."
The radio suddenly makes multiple sounds, but then it was clear, "Who intrudes," the voice asks sternly.
"This is Darth Vader, I have brought Padme' Amidala and her daughter Lei."
"Ok we'll bring you in."
Anakin takes his hands off the controls and lets the Sith Ship pull them in with their beam. The Sith Ship came in fully, landing safely on the floor. Two stormtroopers then sauntered swiftly to the ship, recognizing it being a Jedi craft of some sort. The door opens, falling slowly to the ground. Anakin comes out having Padme and Lei with chains locked around their wrists attached to an extended chain for Anakin to hold.
"Darth Vader? Your scars are gone," says the captain bewildered by his face.
"Yes, I tricked my daughter Lei into healing me, she thought I was pulled back to the light side."
"But isn't that impossible to heal your wounds sir?"
"Nearly yes, but my children are the most strongest in the force, but my son is stronger."
"Yes Darth Sidious has him in a cell, we are on our way back to the Sith temple in Corascant."
"Ah, may I see Darth Sidious, show I may show him what I have brought?"
"Of course sir." The captain turns around and marches with two other stormtroopers behind him. They walk through other corridors, passing cells, with many beings caged in. Padme' and Lei dared not look, it was too much for them.
They stop at a door, the captain then presses in a code to open the door. Up went the door, allowing them to enter.
"Yes captain what is it?"
"Darth Vader has returned sir."
Sidious looks up pleased, "Leave us then."
"Yes sir." The troopers then make their way out with the door closing behind them.
"AH Darth Vader, you have changed," says Darth Sidious puzzled of Anakin's appearance.
"Yes I was healed by Lei my daughter, I tricked her into thinking I was pulled into the light side again."
"Foolish children can be," chuckles Sidious; "And I see you have brought Padme'." He came closer to her looking at her devilishly. "I have waited a long time to catch you like this, you being the favorite of the Emperor."
"Well, maybe that's because I did a good job, instead of you sucking-up, and afraid to break one rule. You're a coward!" without another minute wasted, she spit on him with disgust.
Sidious wiped it off with his black glove, "You're going to regret that." He raised his hand ready to hit her.
"I think the Emperor will wan tot do that, don't you think he'll become enraged if he finds out you did the beating for him?"
"Very well, then just take them away." He waves his hand for Ani to take his leave.
"Alright do you sense him?"
"That way," points Padme' to another passageway. They saunter swiftly through the passageway finding a cell guarded with two stormtroopers.
"There he is,' whispers Lie pointing to the side of the cage.
Luke was hiding in a corner, terrified, he embraced his legs tightly causing his knees to touch his swollen, bruised lips. He's wounded, blood stains on his ripped tunic, and pants.
"He must of put up a fight," whispers Anakin amazed.
"Like his father," adds Padme' looking up at him, and smiling for a few seconds.
"Alright here's the plan-"
~ 10 minutes later. ~
Anakin walks alone with the troopers standing up straight immediately.
"Good day sir."
"How is the prisoner?"
"Fine sir, hasn't made noise since we rendered him unconscious."
"Well isn't that a coincidence."
"What is sir?" But then without warning, Padme' and Lei took a heavy object, using their minds, and bashed it on the troopers' heads.
"Your rendered unconscious too," says Anakin. (I wanted to lighten things up a bit.)
"Get the key," orders Anakin.
Lei unlatched the key from the trooper's belt and reaches for the lock on the cage.
She fiddles with it trying to find the right key; she finds it and opens the door. Luke glanced up at them but didn't know what to make of Anakin, he was dressed like a Sith Lord but he's helping him anyway. Lei, to him, seemed a little familiar but he didn't really recognize her yet. Then Padme came in the cell. He knew her immediately; he remembers from his babyhood the first thing he saw was his mother, and Padme' is her. He looked up at her as she neared him.
"It's alright I won't hurt you Luke." She lends a hand but Luke ran into her arms immediately.
"I knew you'd come for me," he says weakly. She picks him up and holds him, not wanting to let go.
She makes her way out of the cage meeting to other awaiting smiles, Anakin and Lei's.
They all smile but then Luke started to shiver again.
"What's the matter Luke?"
Then they saw what he sensed, Darth Sidious appears with four stormtroopers behind him.
"Do you think I'm dim-witted? Master saw what happened, you turned on us."
"We'll never surrender Sidious even if it means killing me."
"Hand over Luke, and no one will get hurt."
"Never."
"You'll regret that."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean then I'll kill your daughter."
"But your Master needs her."
"On the contrary, he only needs one, your son." He raises his hand and stares at Lei intently.
Lei grabs her neck with her small hands and starts to choke, attempting to breathe.
"Stop it! You're going to kill her!"
"I intend to unless you give Luke to me."
"And let him turn to the dark side? Never!"
"Very well then." He clenches his fist and down went Lei on the verge of death until-
Sidious fell unconscious releasing his grip, causing Lei to take deep breathes.
They saw a stormtrooper had done it; the troopers removed their masks, and the first one turned out to be Lucas.
"Lucas!" Anakin, Padme' and Lei run over to him.
"Now I wasn't just about to let you have all the fun now would I," jokes Lucas.
"How?"
"Well I freed all the prisoners, and we killed most of the troopers, but I'm sure there are more coming so we must hurry and get out of here."
"Well we can't be able to escape with a Jedi Transporter Ship."
One of the prisoners then stepped forward, "I know where The Sith Transporter Ships, they are heavily armed with weapons."
"Ok take us there."
"Ok follow me."
Anakin turns on his lightsaber with Lucas doing the same.
"You still have your 'saber?"
"Yoda gave it to me."
They all run quickly but gingerly, making sure the other troopers can't hear their footsteps.
"There's the ships, but they're heavily guarded by those stormtroopers. How will we get to them there are too many troopers," asks Anakin?
"Fear not Skywalker," says Lucas. He takes out a rather small device and talks into it.
"F5 to F4, do you copy?"
"F4 to F5 we copy, what is order?"
"We need some troopers cleared out in Level 5, can you do that, over."
"Can we ever! Over and out."
"Well help is on the way," says Lucas while putting away the device.
"How long will it take them," asks Anakin. But before Lucas could answer their attention is caught from blasting noises; they look and see the former prisoners are already there.
"Not that long," answers Lucas amazed.
"Alright you guys go ahead of us, Padme' we'll both be behind."
"Luke and Lei, you stay here until I come get you ok?"
"Ok," they both said.
"Alright let's go." They all get up and run to the ships.
Anakin slashes the first trooper in front of them, with then Padme' taking the blaster, and starts shooting the troopers WITH their helmets on. But then they get ambushed by the corrupted jedi.
"Your finished now Skywalker," says a familiar voice.
"Sidious," says Anakin disgusted.
But while this happened Lei and Luke watched.
"We have to do something," says Lei.
"Like what," asks Luke?
"Here, stand up, let's let their plan backfire brother."
Luke nods.
They both close their eye, clearing their minds; they opened their eyes again and join hands. (In other words, Lei's left hand, and Luke's right hand.)
All of the sudden The Sith Lords' and the stormtroopers' weapons were pulled away from them and aimed right at them. The 'saber's to the neck, the blasters aimed at the forehead.
"What's going on," says Sidious trying to yell.
Anakin and the others couldn't answer them, until Lei and Luke appear still concentrating on the weapons.
"My kids, that's what."
"Go and ready the ships," orders Lei, her mother's leadership inside her showing.
Padme' smiles but then turns serious, "Alright you heard her, let's ready the ships!"
Without hesitation, everyone climbs in the ships, and turns them on. Lei and Luke walk towards the ship where their mother and father are in, but still making sure the force is holding the weapons up. As soon as they got near the door, they pull the weapons and throw them to the other side of the room, and then run inside the ship.
Padme' kneels down and hugs them both tightly, "You too were very brave to do that."
"It was her idea really, I just helped," smiles Luke.
"You remember now?" Padme' smiles brightly glowing she usually would.
"I remembered you first, then I remembered my sister but I didn't remember my dad, so Lei had to tell me why." Padme' couldn't help but smile at the resemblance he has with is father; the same luminous blue eyes, the sandy blonde hair, and the same fire within his soul.
"Alright now come sit in a seat with me."
"Ok," they both say.
The all sit in the three-passenger seat with more behind them.
Anakin, who is in the pilot seat, talks through his headset he has on. "Is everyone ready, over."
"Yes, we're all set to go sir, over."
"Alright let's take off, over and out."
He pushes a red lever forward, and went the ship did. Zooming by with the other crafts behind him.
"Doors opening sir, over."
"Good, over and out."
The Large doors, opening to space opens completely letting Anakin and the rest come out.
But then something hit one of the ships! ************************************************************************ Uh Oh! Well to find out review please!
"Anakin how is there a deserted part of Corascant? Isn't the whole planet one big city," asks Padme from behind?
"Well we destroyed part of the city far away from the Jedi Temple."
"How is that possible?"
"We put explosives underground, creating part of the city to collapse. We then created a Sith Temple, and it's been there for three years."
