Chapter 1: Start of a Nightmare

Vader stood on the Excutor's bridge staring out the viewport. Looking and feeling for his son again. He had to reach Luke, or he would be the slave of the Palpatine forever.

If Palpatine got to him first, he would surely turn his son against him.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the voice of a human.

"My Lord, The Emperor requests you to meet him at the Deathstar II." The officer said stiffly.

The mask of Vader met the officer and Vader just turned around and walked past him.

"Plot the coarse, do it quickly!" Vader said as he was walking off the bridge to somewhere else.

Mara Jade had sat quietly in a Cantina on Anchorhead awaiting for Luke's presence. She looked at all the locals and the variety of them reminded her of where she was at. Just a few moments earlier a thug had picked on a poor Ithiorian for his credits. The Ithiorian gave them to him quickly, of course only wanting peace.

No one had bothered her though, sitting at a table by herself in her skin tight dark green pants, accompanied by dark brown boots. A green top had done nicely and fit her pants.

Her eyes started to wonder around the Cantina looking at the different species. She saw the usual species here, Ithiorians, Bith, Humans, Devaronian, Lethan Twi'lek...Lethan Twi'lek? She only knew one Twi'lek who had the red skin color and they were very rare.

She started to quinch her eyes to get a better look to see if it was actually...no...what was she doing here? Mala Kairn... whatever she was doing here meant bad news for Mara, because whenever the two met they were always in competition with eachother.

Mara noticed the red Twi'lek started to comeover. The Twi'lek had a fit body which was covered by a black Sith robe wondered if it was really her. Mara knew Mala was the type to show off her body with tight clothes and such. One of her Lekku wrapped around her neck showing the dark red spots that were naturally splashed acrossed them. Her other lekku wasn't visible because it was in the dark hood of her black cloak.

Mala sat down across from Mara and lifted her hood off so now her face was fully visible. Her face was very smooth and had all the attractive features you would expect, but her yellow Sith eyes were significant.. She placed her hands palms down on the table showing her pink fingernails which Mara wanted to break off soo bad.

"So...what brings you here Mala? I always thought Tatooine was a bit too dirty for you." Mara said sarcastically as a grin appeared on Mala's face.

Mala let out a short laugh "I am looking for someone here Mara. I expected to find you here in a Cantina...probably just fiending for some of that Ryl...right...Mara?" sha said coldly knowing there was some truth to that. Mara had been to Tatooine to get Ryll on several occasions, but the habit of that drug was over now.

Mara's head sunk down in shame at the thought, the darkside was the only thing she should crave and Palpatine had warned her that such drugs could control you.

"No...no Mala...I stay away from that stuff now." her voice was low, and she looked up to notice that Mala's lekku that was around her neck now hung over her left shoulder.

"Sure Mara...Remember, I can get you it straight from my home planet Ryloth, never touched by Hutt hands." she added trying to add temptation. "Well anyways... why are you here?" she sat back in the the chair now relaxed. No one would mess with two Sith...or hands of Palpatine...same thing to her.

Mara was knoced out of her gaze, pleased they were off the subject. "Looking for a Luke Skywalker, Palpatine told me himself."

"That's funny... he told me the same exact thing, in fact... I know where he is right at this moment...thanks to some local help." Mara had frowned at the thought of Mala being ahead of her. The only thing that kept Mala down was the fact that Palpatine had liked Humans more than Twi'leks, but as long as she got the job done it seemed he didn't care.

"Whice reminds me..." Mala continued her brag. "I have to go." she got up from the table and put her hood back over her head. Mara watched wondering how she would catch up.

She could be on the wrong planet for godsake! Mara also jumped off and started to talk to people in the Cantina.

Luke's had prepared landing of his X-Wing right by Jabba's palace. He had saw the Millenium Falcon there which meant Leia, Lando, Threepio, and Chewie had made it here.

The cockpit hatched open and a small wierd voice popped from it.

"Sweaty you are, too fat." Yoda had said wobbling out of the X-Wing and stood waiting for Luke to get out. Luke hopped out the X-Wing patting Artoo on the dome.

"Well, I warned you it was a one man fighter, I still do no understand why you have come Master Yoda." Luke said standing by Artoo as he was lowerd to the ground.

"Told I did, Listen you did not!" Yoda poked his stick on Luke's calf. "A new enemy has risen, face him alone you cannot. I may not be able to fight him, but help you I can."

"Yeah... I guess. I just don't want to lose you Master Yoda like how I lost Obi-Wan." Luke said and Yoda gave him his frown.

"Obi-Wan, with you he is. Through the force, see him you can."

Luke shrugged and Yoda started to ramble about something as he sat on the sand.

Mala sat on a mountain above the X-wing that had just landed. She observed the X-wing and Luke and then saw a little green thing come out. Shivers ran up her spine as anyone would know who it was. Yoda was still alive, she had thought that Palpatine dealt with him during the clone wars.

"Yoda, looks like this is going to be harder than I thought." She said turned back to a dark grey Twilek, who was the one who had told her of Han Solo being stuck in Carbonite, which led her here.

The dark grey Twi'lek name was Dinek Kluub, that was the seperate name. Diginified Twi'lek called him Dine'Kluub, which is what he had called himself just to show that he was not a outcast like some of the others.

Dinek had a scar running from right to left on his face. His face was well chisled. He had own a black jacket a bit darker than his skin tone. He wore gloves that were cut off at the finger tips. He had black baggy pants that were cuffed at the beggining of black boots.

He picked up a blaster with a scope and prepared to aim. "Well, we can get rid of the problem soon." his finger carressed the trigger and he slowly started to pull but the blaster was smacked from his hand. "Hey...I was just trying to help."

"You fool! If you were to do that he would know where we are!" She silently scolded him, but she was well aware that Yoda probably knew what was going on.

"Well no need to get so nervous, and frustrated ya know. I hope you know that black attracks heat?" he kneeled on the side of her looking at the green gnome talk to the human, poking the human with his little stick.

"Yes..I am aware of that...why?" she talked but never took her eyes off the scene of Yoda and Luke.

Dinek was now looking at the Sith robes tied over her body, imagining the figure that lay beneath them in his head. "Well, I thought it would be wise to take them off."

Her yellow eyes met his and a small little laugh came from her mouth.

"Nice try, but I think the mission is more important now."

Yoda started to walk towards Jabba Palace on his own and Luke yelled after him.

"Hey! Yoda! Where ya Going?" he shouted "Wait for me!" he started to walk towards Yoda but was stopped by the Jedi's master voice.

"Stay here you should. Rescue Han Solo I will." Yoda continued walking towards Jabba's Palace while Luke scratched his head and Artoo gave a unconfirmed beep.

Mala had stood up on the moutain now and put her hood over head again.

"Now is the time, Yoda is out of sight and Luke is alone. Get the ship ready, we will have to do this before Mara notices." she told Dinek as he hopped up and ran off.

Luke stood leaning against the X-Wing waiting for the great Yoda to return with his friends. Something told him that Yoda would not return, he was too old and fragile.

Artoo gave a soft beep twirling his dome around.

"Man Artoo. I haven't been on this planet in awhile...I guess you never notice how much you miss something until your far away from it." he sighed looking at the environment that lay before him."I think Master Yoda is way over his head, there is no way he could do this alone." he added.

Artoo gave whirl and a beep. Probably telling Luke not to worry.

"I mean...on Dagobah he was weak. Even if there was a new threat how would he know and what makes him think he can handle it himself." Luke grabbed his Lightsaber hilt out of the cockpit and attached it to his belt of his dark robes. "I'm going to help out." he began to walk off and Artoo started to follow along. Of course Artoo had to walk which dragged him back behind Luke a far distance.

Luke then heard a wild whirl from Artoo and turned around to find that someone in Sith robes was now following him. He stopped to meet the figure who had also stopped. Luke approached the figure and Artoo stood behind him as if he were ready for action.

"Well...hello there." Luke said waving towards the figure.

The red hands uncovered her face under the Sith robes. Luke saw the Twi'lek and smiled as he now thought her to be of no threat.

"Well...red...that is interesting." He extended his hand towards the alien. "Hi, my name is Luke Skywalker..."

"I know who you are." Her hand met his and suddenly a jolt ran through Luke's hand and Luke knealt on his knees as the lighting now was pulsing through him. Artoo started to beep wildly going into a panic until the little droid decided to join the action. Artoo stumpy legs started to walk towards Mala as she ignored the little droid now approaching him.

She glanced at the little droid whose mechanical arm was now reaching towards her leg. She jumped back and the lightning had stopped. She raised her other hand and with that electricity ran through Artoo making a almost human-like scream come from him.

Artoo had given Luke enough time to grab his lightsaber and charge towards the Twi'lek. Her blade came up quickly and the sabers were locked.

Luke aimed to cut off her left leg at the kneecap but found her red blade waiting there. He swiftly bought the saber back up and went for her head as she ducked out of the way.

She came back up swinging wildly at Luke's waist and she found it parried by Luke.

The battle raged on and Luke put Mala on the defense. In the background a YT-2400 flew over them and turned back around for a landing.

Luke had looked at it for awhile and then continued to attack Mala. Luke swung down now trying to cut her in two different slices. Mala saber had appeared above her head and blocked it, but all too soon Luke had kicked her in the stomach.

Mala flew back and landed on her back hard. She looked over to the ship that had landed and saw that Dinek had just exited the ship holding his gun ready to shoot at Luke.

Luke charged for Mala for one last and final strike and Mala in her mind had preyed to the Sith lords that Dinek would hit his target. She closed her eyes and with that she had heard Luke shout something in pain.

She opened up her eyes and found Luke on the ground kneeling. Luke's eyes relaxed and he now hit the sand of Tatooine in a deep trance.

Mala stood up and dusted herself off. Dinek had approached the faint Luke and checked on him.

"Is he suspended from moving?" she asked.

"Well...it looks like it, might be long enough so we can take him to your master." Dinek said now lifting Luke over his shoulder and started to go for his ship. Mala had wiped sweat off of her forehead and followed into the ship.

Aboard the Ships lounge, Mala had rested thinking about how Palpatine might thank her for this one. Her thought was interrupted though by Dinek who had now sat right next to her.

"Well, I put him in the hidden cargo area, it is locked he is pretty much in solitary confinement. Don't see how he could get out of this one." Dinek said resting his feet on the small table that was before them.

Mala looked at him in surprise. "Why did we stop?"

"Forwye said something is wrong with the Hyperdrive. Landed on Nar Shadaa to fix it up. Don't worry about Skywalker, he shouldn't be a problem." he said calmly

Forwye was his co-pilot, although she had not really met the Bothan yet. She knew he was the type that didn't talk too much and was well known among the smugglers.

"Look, I can take Skywalker even if he comes out." she said confidently while Dinek gave a short laugh.

"Sure, I guess that is why I had to save your life back on Tatooine. Not even a thank you? You could at least act like you are comfortable here." Dinek got up and with over to the counter rquesting something from the Auto-chef. When the Auto-chef was done fixing up the various fungus Dinek had presneted it to Mala and put it on her lap.

"Well you have to eat you know. I have never known a Twi'lek who had resisted Gruuvan Shaal."

"You are talking to an outcast like me Dine'Kluub." she said eating what was given to her. "Especially after what your clan members did to me on Ryloth when I was small. They will never be forgiven." passion ran through her.

"What about what you did to them afterwards! Look it is common for a young Twi'lek girl to get sold into slavery, especially the red and rare colored ones." Dinek said but was violently cut off by Mala.

"Look they deserved death, after all the deaths they have caused they deserved it!" she shouted.

Dinek had gently put his hands on her shoulder, gradually trying to make his way up to her Lekku. She had then popped up from her seat putting the food back on the counter and started to walk out of the lounge.

"Look Mala'Kairn" She stopped at hearing her birth name as Dinek continued. "I am sorry for anything that my clan members may have done, but you have to understand that I had no part of it. I don't agree with the slavery, it makes it harder to find rare ones like you." he stood meeting her eyes for a brief moment before she turned back around and mutterd 'Pathetic'as he smiled at how she tried to hide it.

A/N- If you don't like the relationship between the two Twi'lek, it is leading up to something besides romance, so don't worry too much. As for the important characters being absent in this chapter such as Palpatine, Revan, and Leia and Han. They will make their big appearance. I don't want to spoil too much, because if you like Vader and Revan, you will like some of the next chapter. Also, Yoda may be a surprise to some, but if I introduced just Revan, I needed someone to oppose him. But don't worry, Yoda will stay true to himself and will remain very weak due to his age.
