Disclaimer and Author's Note: I don't own Star Wars, I'm just obsessed with it. Chapters 1 to 15 have been edited and corrected to fall in line with Episode Three. So enjoy and please review!
Chapter 14:
In the darkness, two lightsabers lit up – one blue and one green.
"Do you see it Master?" Anakin asked.
"Yes. I think it's a speeder of some kind." Obi-Wan replied looking out into the darkness as they stood on the porch looking out into the distance.
Away with your lightsabers.
That was when Anakin and Obi-Wan realized who it was. Master Yoda had returned for them. This had been a moment that Anakin had been dreading for several months now. Now he would learn if he and Obi-Wan were to report for duty. Or if he would be able to stay with his family.
"So these are the twins that Master Yoda keeps talking about," Bail Organa said as he held Luke in his arms. Luke smiled happily up at him. Anakin and Padmé both sat off to the side and watched happily as proud parents.
"Talk about them often I do. Saved Anakin they did." Yoda said.
"Well they did as well as Padmé, Master." Anakin added. Yoda nodded in acknowledgement. Anakin and Padmé both knew that Yoda still wasn't happy about their union. But it did bring the Chosen One back to the light.
"So what news is there?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Our intelligence tells us that the Emperor has trained a new Sith Lord, known as Lord Etrak. And he has done nothing but decimate our troops." Bail said.
"Is he like Grievous or Dooku?" Anakin asked.
"As far as we can tell, he's human. But former planets that were back on our side have once again fallen," Bail said continuing.
"So what do we need to do?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Report to Borleias. There is an Alderaanian facility there. That is one of our staging grounds for our various attacks. By the time you both get there, we should have more intelligence by then." Bail said.
"We'll leave in the morning," Obi-Wan said.
"Bail, is there anything that you need me to do?' Padmé asked.
"We could use more leadership. Mon Mothma is doing as much as she can. But she can always use help from someone who is experienced." Bail said.
"I can do that. Where do I need to go?" she asked.
"Take you to the Rebel fleet I will," Yoda said.
"Thank you Master Yoda."
"And I will accompany you and Anakin to Borleias, General Kenobi." Bail said.
With that it was set.
"What about the twins?" Anakin asked, as he held Leia in his arms, while Padmé was feeding Luke. Leia happily squeezed her father's finger.
"Sabé will be with me. I think she can handle the twins while I help out. Its not like I'm leaving them for days at a time. Only for a few hours here and there."
"Still I don't like it. I have a bad feeling about something,"
"Ani don't worry. Everything will be fine. The Emperor has never attacked our fleet, since he has never found it."
Anakin sighed as he took Luke from Padmé and handed Leia to her. "I still don't like it."
