Chapter Thirty-One:

Luke lay in his dreary cell thinking about all that the Emperor had told him about his father. Palpatine had told him that his father turned to the dark side because of a Jedi plot to take over the Senate and kill all the Senators. And that included his mother.

"Your father's Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, was going to kidnap your mother and dispose of her so that your father wouldn't be tempted to turn against the Jedi. But I told him what was going on and he turned before they could do anything…"

Luke sat there, silently, trying to take in all that Palpatine was telling him. How could his father lie to him like that! But he also knew that his father and Obi-Wan kept many things from him….

'Maybe Palpatine had a point. Maybe the Jedi are really the evil ones…' Luke thought to himself.

"Is he turning Master?" Etrak asked.

"Yes. I can feel it. The seeds of doubt have been planted. He will come to me tomorrow with more questions and I will twist them more."

Etrak smiled evilly as he stood next to Palpatine. Soon the Sith would have control of a Skywalker. A Skywalker who seemed more powerful then even the Chosen One had been when he was a Sith.

"Slowly being turned he is."

Padmé gasped a little as everyone sat talking with Master Yoda. Her son was being turned to the dark side just like his father had been! "Isn't there anything that we can do?" she wearily asked.

"Defeat Etrak and Sidious we must. Only way of saving young Skywalker."

"I can do that!" Anakin said forcefully. He had to save his son. He wouldn't let Palpatine corrupt anyone else ever, especially his son.

"No! Not strong enough still. Obi-Wan must help you."

Anakin could agree to that. He knew that Obi-Wan cared for Luke in the same way he had cared for Anakin when he was his Padawan.

"When do we leave?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Soon. Plan we must."

"I agree." Anakin said. "But Palpatine's palace on Imperial Center is vast. And he's probably changed so much since I was last there."

"And there will probably be many booby traps," Obi-Wan added.

Yoda sat there thinking for a second. Then his eyes met with Kelista.

"Help us, you will Kelista," he said.

"Excuse me, Master Yoda?" she asked.

"Know the layout of the palace. Close to the Emperor you were and still somewhat."

"Yes."

"Also your daughter is under his control. Know this I do."

Kelista gasped. Her daughter was still alive and Yoda knew where she was! The sooner they rescued Luke the sooner Mara could be rescued as well. "What do you need to know?"
