Luke's Fall Chapter 3: The Arrival
Disclaimer: I still do not own Star Wars, George Lucas does.
Aboard the Star Destroyer Executor- Luke began the walk to the medical bay. On his way there, he began to think about all that had happened. He had gone to cloud city seeking to be a noble Jedi, seeking to protect others, as the Jedi did. He now knew that was the folly of days gone past. What use had the Light side been to him? It had led to his defeat by his father. It had led to the loss of his hand. He would never be that foolish again, he had embraced the Dark, and there he had found true power, and along with it true happiness. The Dark truly was the true side of the Force. Luke arrived at the medical bay, and awaited the attachment of his new hand. It felt strange having a machine so closely bound to him, strange to be unable to sense his own hand. It had truly been a sacrifice, but the power it brought was more than worth it. By the time the Med-droids were done attaching the prosthetic, the comlink had gone off. "Will the Lord Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker please report to the throne room, the Emperor has summoned you".
Luke arose, flexing his hand one time. Although he didn't realize, he had just taken a step in becoming like his father. He was now part machine, part man. Luke began at a brisk walk towards the throne room, taking a slight pleasure in the way soldiers and technicians avoided him. Already they feared him as they did his father. Luke soon arrived at the throne room, and saw Vader already there. Luke quickly took his position behind Vader. The room darkened suddenly, and the now familiar image of the Emperor's face appeared as a hologram in front of them.
"Vader, you may leave us, I wish to speak to your son alone. You will go to Endor; I am preparing a trap for the Rebels there. If all goes according to plan, they will be crushed there. I would like you to personally oversee the final stages of this." The Emperor said dismissively. As Vader arose and left, Luke took his seat. The Emperors attention was soon focused on Luke.
"Skywalker, at last you have joined me, as I have foreseen. You have become strong in the Light. You most lose this Light training. You must lose this to become strong in the Dark. You must become a Sith. The Sith are the warriors of the Dark, the enemies of the Light. You will become on of us. You may even prove a powerful ally in time; after all, your father's strength also flows through you. You will come to the Death star with me to complete your training. Your father will begin it on the way here. I await your arrival. Young Skywalker, you will one day rule. I have foreseen it!" The Emperor completed his order, and awaited Luke's respond.
"As you wish, my master", Luke answered humbly. With that, the hologram disappeared. Luke made his way towards the Hangar, and boarded Vader's shuttle. Soon he would finally meet the Emperor.
The Rebel Base- All the rebel officers, from the newest wing leader to the Admiral Ackbar himself, to Mon Mothma were assembled in the council chamber. Ackbar was explaining to the leaders the plan of attack on the second Death Star. Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca were absent, in mourning for Luke. None of the pilots had been happy about hearing of the death of Luke. After all, he was the hero of the Rebellion, the man who had destroyed the Death Star. The Leadership was not happy about losing the only man capable of facing the Lord Darth Vader. Unfortunately, duty came first, and only his closest friends had been given time to mourn. Just as Ackbar finished his battle plans, a young pilot burst through the door, a shocked look on his face. "Admiral Ackbar, a Jedi Star Fighter has just landed in the hangar. Our security didn't even catch it. There is a small green alien; of a species I've never before seen, claiming to be the Jedi Master Yoda! He demands you allow him to speak to Leia. What is your decision?" Admiral Ackbar, with a grave look on his face, or as grave as a Mon Calamari can be, said "Send him to her. If he is not who he says he is, Leia's security can take care of it."
That seems like enough to for now. Chapter 4 coming soon. Please review, I want to know how people like this story, so I know what to do differently next time, both your praise and your criticism are appreciated.
