Accidental Meeting

Chapter Three

I have to get out of here! Luke thought as he began to run through the crowd pushing people out of his way.

"Stormtroopers apprehend that man!" Lord Vader's voice rang out over the platform, spurring the Stormtroopers into action.

They quickly surrounded the crowd and began to stun everyone in their attempt to hit their target. Luke was unable to avoid so many stun blasts and was knocked unconscious along with a majority of the crowd.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Lady Vader asked her twin as she came over to stand beside him.

"Capturing my clone, it appears." He replied to her.

"Your what!" Lady Vader shouted.

"I will explain further later, Leia. Right now we have to go inside and contact father."

"Very well." Leia replied.

Together they left the platform and entered the Imperial Palace. Inside they found two Stormtroopers waiting for them holding the unconscious brown cloaked man.

"Did you find any weapons on him?" Lord Vader asked.

"Yes my Lord. He was armed only with this." The Stormtrooper said while handing the unconscious man's weapon over to Lord Vader

Gazing down at the round metal cylinder in his hand Luke Vader felt a wave of shock run through him.

"A lightsaber. I must contact Father."

Father? Luke called out in his mind.

Yes my son? Vader replied.

I have taken a prisoner from the rabble that was sent to greet Leia and me today. I think this man might be a clone of myself. Luke said.

A clone! That is impossible! We destroyed all of the Emperor's cloning cylinders! Vader roared.

I know Father, but the resemblance is unmistakable.

Take the prisoner to a detention cell and have Leia accompany you just in case this "clone" proves dangerous. I will meet you there shortly. Vader ordered.

We will await you there Father.

"What did he say Luke?" Leia asked her brother.

"He wants us to take the prisoner to a detention cell. Father will meet us there." Luke told her.

"Let's get going then." Luke signaled for the two Stormtroopers holding the prisoner to follow them as they left for the detention level.


I hate stun blasts. Luke Skywalker thought as he brought himself back to consciousness.

The sound of voices penetrated his mind and there was something about them that seemed awfully familiar. A female voice was speaking.

"Well he certainly is your mirror image brother."

Wait was that Leia?

"Is he Force sensitive?"

"Yes, however, I cannot tell how strong. Even while unconscious he shields himself. Perhaps he is the Jedi father sensed. The lightsaber he carries is proof to that." A male voice replied to her.

I have a bad feeling about this. Luke thought.

"I think he is waking up." The woman said.

Luke's eyes began to flutter open and he saw the cloaked figure of his sister standing over him.

"Leia?" He whispered to her.

Luke was shocked when Leia's eyes filled with rage and he felt himself slammed roughly into the cell wall and held there by the Force.

"How dare you speak to me in such a familiar manner! You will address me as Lady Vader you worthless clone!" Leia shouted at him.

A clone! She thinks I'm a clone?

Luke would have laughed considering the fact he had almost been killed by his own clone.

"Sister, put him down. We must wait for father."

This drew Luke's attention to the other occupant of the cell. Himself, or rather Luke's other self. As he felt his body being lowered back down onto the bunk, he studied the man before him. Same hair, same eyes they could pass for twins as far as looks were concerned. However, the look in his eyes was totally different from Luke's peaceful gaze. They were filled with darkness and anger.

Before Luke could continue his examination, the cell door slid open revealing a tall dark clothed figure. The man was at least six feet tall and had blond hair with penetrating blue eyes. Luke could barely make out the faint outlines of old scars on his face.

It can't be him, that's impossible! But there is no mistaking that presence. It is him, my father. Luke thought with shock.

This is what my father would have looked like if he had been healed. I've never seen a picture of him before he became Darth Vader. It's amazing how much I look like him.

All of this ran through Luke's head as he eyed the impressive form of a fully healed Darth Vader enter the cell.

"This is the prisoner?" Vader asked his son.

"Yes, father." Luke Vader said. "The Stormtroopers found only this weapon on him when he was searched."

Vader closely examined the lightsaber he held in his hand. He was surprised at how much it resembled his own. Vader stopped his contemplation of the lightsaber and strode across the cell to its maker. Two pairs of ice blue eyes met and stared into each other. A tense silence filled the air as the two men waited for the other to speak. Vader broke the silence between them.

"Who sent you here? What foolish Jedi still exists that dares to send a clone of my own son to fight me." Vader's tone was full of menace as he stepped closer to the bunk.

Luke's voice was calm and steady when he spoke, despite the turbulent emotions inside him. "No one sent me here and I am not a clone. My name is Luke Skywalker and I am a Jedi Master."


Well that's all for now. Hopefully I will get back into my Star Wars mode and get the next chapter written sooner. Until then please review. See ya! :)
