Note to readers: First I would like to apologize for making a mistake in this chapter. I meant to place Luke's first base in Dantoine, I am making a correction. The second base is Hoth. I reversed the events in the story, he had gone to Dagobah before Hoth and not after.

Once again, I apologize to the readers, I thank you for your reviews. I also changed a little the spacing in order to make reading a little better (I hope)

Chapter 2 - Edited.

The rebel fleet prepared for the attack. Time was running out. If they didn't destroy the Death Star they would be destroyed.

Luke tried to concentrate, Wedge Antilles had just saved his life.

/Father, I am sorry./ he said to himself.

Use the Force, Luke Ben's voice echoed in his mind.

/Forgive me, father/ Luke said to himself and shot.

"Hey kid! That was one in a million!" screamed Han as he saved him from the

imperial shuttle.

Back in Yavin there was a great celebration. Luke was the center of the attention

but he felt a great pain in his heart. He believed he had just killed his father.

On Coruscant...

Darth Vader paced nervous. He had just chocked to death one of his officers in pure fit of rage. Captain Needa approached nervously.

"My lord, the emperor wishes to speak to you." Vader prepared to receive the

message, he kneels.

"What is thy bidding, my master?"

"There is a great disturbance in the force."

"I have felt, my master."

"There is a light presence, very bright and strong."

"It was a young pilot, my master. He was the one who had destroyed the Death Star. He was strong with the force. I felt it."

"How could this be, lord Vader?"

"I will hunt him down, master."

"Yes, I want him to suffer a painful and slow death!"

"As you wish."

The emperor cuts the call.

Vader sent out probe droids for all sides of the galaxy to find out the daring pilot who outsmarted the empire.

Luke led a group of rebels inDantoine. Since then he had learned that Darth Vader had survived the blast. He felt relieved that he had not killed his father.

Imperial ships had found them.

Obi-Wan came to him.

"Ben!"

"Luke, you must go to Dagobah, there you will be trained by Yoda."

"How about my father?"

"Your father no longer exists, he is consumed by Darth Vader."

Luke fall unconscious.

Living Dantoine, Luke took R2 and set the course to Dagobah.

Han, Leia, Chewie and C3P0 were busy trying to evade the imperial ships. Han

attached the ship to one of the star destroyers in order to avoid being detected.

"Then we go with all the garbage," he said to Leia who was pleased with the plan.

They didn't know that Boba Feet was right on their tail, he had a bounty on Han's for Jabba the Hutt.

Dagobah…

Luke meets Yoda. Obi-Wan spirit convinces Yoda in training him,

As the training progresses Yoda senses confusion in Luke.

"Leia, Han!"

"Visions you had."

"The future?" Luke asks. "I saw them suffering. Will they die?"

"Difficult to say, always in motion the future is," replies Yoda.

"I have to go. I must help my friends."

"You must finish your training, if you go, help them you may, but

all may be lost ."

Luke stops.

"Other questions you have."

"I had other visions…about Vader, is he my father?"

"Your father he is, to become a Jedi confront him you must"

"But I can't kill my own father," Luke said in despair. "I have to talk to him."

Luke prepares to leave. "No, Luke, beware of him. Powerful he is."

Obi-Wan's spirit appears. "If you confront him now I cannot help you, Fear is the path for the dark side!"

"I have to save my friends!"

Luke takes off.

"He is our only hope," Obi Wan whispers.

"There is another," Yoda replies.

Cloud city…

Han Solo lands the Millennium Falcon and meets Lando Calirissian.

"I don't trust him." Leia confides Han.

"I don't trust him either, don't worry we are only getting the Falcon fixed up

and we will be out of here."

Lando enters the room. "Would you join us for some refreshments? You are all invited. Lando notices C3P0 in pieces. "Something wrong with your droid?"

"No, nothing at all," replies Han.

Han, Leia, Chewie taking C3P0 on his back walk along the hall.

"Lando, don't you fear that the empire will interfere with your operations?"

"Well my friend, I've just made a deal that will keep the empire out of our lives

forever," Lando said with a sly smile on his face.

He opens the door.

Chewie growls. Han points his gun to Darth Vader who uses the force to disarm him.

"I am sorry, pal. They got here first," said Lando

"I am sorry too, my friend," Han emphasized the last word with sarcasm.

Darth Vader was himself an intimidating persona. He could sense the fear

from their "guests".

"I want the name of the pilot who destroyed the Death Star," Vader growled.

/I will not betray Luke./ Han thought.

"Luke…" said Vader hearing Han's thoughts.

Han was surprised. "How did…"

"He can read minds," Leia whispered to him.

Vader probes Leia's mind, he is surprised. "Could she be strong with the force?"

Darth Vader leaves the room, Han, Leia and Chewie are taken away.

Han Solo is taken to a carbonite chamber.

"But if he dies…he is worth a lot," Boba Fett says to Vader.

"He will be compensated if he dies."

Chewie fights, "No, Chewie…the princess! You must take care of the princess."

Han and Leia kiss.

"I love you," she says.

"I know," he replies.

Han is frozen and handled to Boba Fett.

Vader turns to Lando. "Take the princess and the Wookie to my ship."

"But that was not part of the plan!"

"Pray that I don't alter any further!"

A stormtropper approaches Vader nervously. "My lord, an X- Wing classship approaches."

"I know, he is here…I can sense him. Prepare the chamber to freeze the pilot. I must take him to my master. Make sure he is taken here."

Luke searches, he sees Leia then he sees Han frozen in carbonite.

"It is a trap! Luke don't go, it is a trap!" Leia screams.

Lando and his companions manage to free Leia and the Wookie, they

take the Millennium Falcon.

Luke ran and finds the carbonite chamber, once he arrives his heart races,

he is in front of Darth Vader.

"The force is strong with you young one, " Vader hissed and activated his

lightsaber.

Luke activates his own.

"Who gave you this!" Vader recognizes his old lightsaber.

"Obi Wan Kenobi," Luke replies.

Vader attacks, Luke parries.

Luke stumbles, falls into the carbonite pit.

Vader activates the chamber with the force. "All too easy."

Luke jumps. "Impressive, most impressive."

Luke run, Vader chases him.

With the use of the force Vader pushes objects towards Luke who defends himself the best as he could.

They end up in the bridge, the fight continues.

Luke tries to defend himself but Vader attacks are fierce.

"You are the pilot who destroyed the Death Star."

"Yes, I am:"

"You will suffer the consequences for what you done, and so will your

friends!" Vader hissed.

Luke attacked and his lightsaber cut Vader's shoulders. He becomes furious

and he attacks cutting Luke's right hand.

Luke screams in pain, he recoils. "You are beaten. There is no escape, you will

come with me and you will pay for your crimes against the empire!"

Vader takes a hold of Luke and pull him out of danger.

"Now young one, you will suffer!"

Luke doesn't fight. He is held by the dark lord.

Half conscious "Do whatever you want with me," he pauses, "Please, I must ask one question."

"And what would that be?" Vader eye him.

"Was your name Anakin Skywalker?"

Vader stops. He throws Luke on the ground. "Who told you that!"

"I am about to die…" Luke gasps for air. "I only need to know," Luke pleads.

"That name has no longer a meaning for me!" Vader hisses in anger.

"My name is… Luke …Skywalker. I…I am your son!" Luke gathers his last

strength and jumps down the gantry.

Vader's respirator hisses loud, he stumbles and grab the rod of the bridge to stop

his own fall.

"Nooooooooooo!" Vader screams as he sees Luke's body vanishing from his view.
