Luke waited on the launch deck of the Star Destroyer next to the shuttle that would take them to Naboo. Leia had taken longer than expected. He wondered what she was doing. They were already late for departure. His mother and father had left already, along with five thousand troops ready for battle. He wasn't worried that much, especially with his new gift.
He remebered just minutes earlier when his mother had found him in his quarters, accompanied by Leia. Kedaress had told them about the weapon that she and Vader both owned: a lightsaber. The twins had only briefly wielded sauch a weapon during their training on Kashyyk. Kedaress gave them both a lightsaber, both of them red in color." The color signifies anger and hate.", which made both of the twins prouder to have. They felt like true Sith.
Leia emerged onto the launch bay. She wore a black cloak with a black tunic under it, similar to what Luke wore, except that Luke wore long armorweave pants and Leia wore a long armorweave skirt. " Ready to go?" she asked." This sounds like it will be fun." Luke admired her carefree attitude, but it probably came from the fact that no one in the base would try to hurt her. Luke, however, was slightly nervous. His father would have lectured him on " the Sith do not feel fear."
He and Leia boarded the shuttle. They had chosen to take one battalion of troops to handle the primitives who Leia wasn't sure she could handle. They reached the Naboo moon in a few minutes. Leia pointed out the Imperial fleet waiting in the far atmosphere. Vader and Kedaress were not to land until the shield was down. From the surface, the moon seemed like a blue version of the planet itself. This was because the planet's population was made up of colonists.
As they left the landing ramp of the shuttle, an officer headed up to them. " My Lords, the base is about ten hundred meters South. Lord Rage, Lady Malifica, the troops would rather you led in front."
Luke nodded and motioned for Leia to follow him to were the troops were waiting. they started out. Soon, the base came into view. To the troops, the complex was invisible. It took a force screen to detect. After Leia had located the entrance, the twins had used the force to disable all security in the area. The troops divided to locate the generator. Luke stayed with his sister. He didn't feel any danger would come to her, but he didn't want to take a risk.
Leia was thrilled when she came upon a hall filled with rebel soldiers. " I've got this," she said. She took off. Once the soldiers saw her, they raised their weapons, but quickly lowered them again. Leia started laughing. The soldiers just stood there, eyes fixed on the seductive Sith lord in front of them. Leia waved her hand and the Rebels began to pproach her. She kept laughing as her new lightsaber ignited. The soldiers seemed to take no notice.One by one, they tried to get near her, and each fell the moment they got too close. Luke handled the Gungans who accompanied the soldiers and were unaffected by Leia's mind trick. Once they were done, the pair walked through the corridors for a time. Eventually, they found a corridor with the generator at the end. Luke sent a message to the troop commander to rendezvous at the generator.
The team arrived shortly after. After going over a plan of attack that was eventually dismissed by Leia, the troops advanced and began attack. Rebels fell as the Storm Troopers advanced. Leia went to her usual habits of mind tricks, while Luke made his way down to the generator, cutting down anyone in his way. Once he was there, he called the explosove specialists of the group over to him. They followed routine procedures, rigging the generator to explode. The rebels were wiped out by the time the explosive experts were finished. The complex was evacuated and destroyed. Leia sent a message to the fleet to begin attack. They would join them shortly...
In the palace of Gunga Theed, a small green alien wathed the arrival of the fleet. He sensed a pair of presences aboard. Both were familiar, and both were strong in the darkside. Years of exile on a swampy world would be rewarded today. The Jedi had learned since his last encounter with the Sith. He would destroy th Sith today, or die trying...
