Chapter 12-Dark Side Love
(A/N: Thank you to those who reviewed saying they were glad Mara was now on the right side. However, technically she's not on the right side she on Luke's side, which is neither Imperial or Rebel. This is still a Luke/Vader fic with them overpowering the Emperor, but I decided to add Mara to the mix because (1.) It's my AU story and (2.) It wouldn't be fun without having a little romance thrown in their as well between the two love birds. So sit back enjoy and review when you're done. Thanks!)
With two days gone and only one to go before the Falcon headed to Tatoonie to rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt things had gone pretty well for Luke, Mara, and surprisingly everyone else on the Rebel Flagship. After being isolated from each other and then finally explaining things with a bit of deception added to the mix on Luke and Mara's part the former assassin that was "The Emperor's Hand" was reluctantly now under Luke's direct command. Luke was obviously pleased with the decision, but Mara was absolutely ecstatic with glee though she hid during the duration of the meeting. When Luke and Mara were in his private quarters she surprised Luke as she involuntarily leaped on him and kissed him on the lips as he stumbled over to the wall nearest to him with Mara leaning on him forcing him to hit it slightly harder then expected. "Well...that was...intriguing Mara Jade," said Darth Vicious who was breathing exasperatedly after several minutes of lip locked tongue dueling.
"You have no idea how long I have waited to do that since the moment I saw you. Us being isolate from each other for the past nearly two days made me very...restless," said Mara slightly feeling Luke's muscles beneath Luke's robes and inner clothing with her hands.
"Really? Me too! Since we have sometime to kill why don't we make the best of it and have a little fun to undo the...restlessness," said Luke smiling wickedly as he started kissing Mara's neck letting a rumble come into his throat that sounded like a demon that made Mara shudder with delight as Darth Vicious started kissing her neck and ear.
Unfortunately, as Mara started to remove Luke's Sith Lord like robes a knocking on the outside of the door to the room came interrupting their moment together. "I'm going to kill whose ever out there," said Mara angrily as she walked over to the door with Luke right behind her.
"Yeah and I'm going to help you," said Darth Vicious as his eyes were once more Sith ones that made Mara shudder again with delight before the door was opened revealing a Rebel soldier who was very pale at the moment and almost look like a rare albino alien.
"Darth Vicious? Miss Mara Jade?" said the Rebel hoping he wasn't interrupting anything though he had a feeling he did and it was going to be his head for it.
"What is it?" said Luke and Mara together who were both very angry their time had been interrupted from their time together.
The Rebel soldier had paled even more (if that were possible) and backed away slightly before speaking. "High Command has requested as well as ordered that both of you get ready to go on the Millennium Falcon and get ready for departure. You have 4 hours to do so. That is all," said the Rebel soldier, who had handed Mara the data pad before fast walking away from the room.
With the door shut and preferably locked Mara handed Luke the data pad who looked it over briefly before putting it on the small desk near his bed. "Well we have 4 whole solid hours before we get ready for the mission and even then we have two days time before we reach Tatoonie. What ever shall we do?" said Luke mischievously looking at Mara who had that same look in her eyes as she gently removed Luke's Sith robes and casually throwing them onto the nearby desk chair.
"I think...I know what we can do to pass the time, but we may get the attention of several other people nearby in the other rooms and hallways of the ship," said Mara as Darth Vicious removed her jacket like she did his robes only he let them drop to the floor.
"Don't worry I can use the Force to create a sound dampening bubble around us so they will be muffled to practically nothing at all," said Luke as he reached behind Mara's back to her butt and pressed her forward towards him making her let out a gasp.
"Is that a Double Bladed Lightsaber or are you just happy to see me?" said Mara as her hips area was now parallel and connecting to Luke's.
"I don't have a Double Bladed Lightsaber Mara, but that doesn't mean I don't have something along that length along the hip area," said Darth Vicious as he squeezed her butt as he kissed her neck as he used his other hand to feel up her now loose shirt.
"Really? I have to a proper inspection then won't I?" said Mara as she moved her hand slowly down Luke's black pants as she slowly undid them to take things to the next level.
Shortly after that the true bliss for the two Force users happened as they went at like two demons for nearly all 4 solid hours with a Force dampening sound bubble covering the room. They eventually stopped knowing they would eventually get another chance again with a much longer amount of time before resuming their Force enhanced bliss together. Remind me to try that little trick again when we have more time together...my Lord," said Mara as she put on her pant leathery pants that shaped her curved like body well.
"Only if you remind me to try mine again," said Darth Vicious who was now fully dressed was now behind her and he put her arms around her as he helped her inch her pants up quickly at the very last moment making her moan slightly in surprise from the brief jolt as she kissed him and he her.
"Agreed. Now lets get out there and show these Rebel Alliance wimps how true warriors like you and me fight," said Mara in near whisper kissing him one more time before they had reluctantly let go of each other before going out the door.
They both made their way down to the hanger side by side slightly providing each other secretly with affection that though went unnoticed was clearly readable from their faces. "You two ready to go?" said Lando as he put what equipment he could on the Falcon before seeing that they both looked slightly flushed.
"Not only are we ready were already gone," said Darth Vicious in dark sounding voice as he made an even deeper purring sound as he leaned his head towards Mara's neck while doing so making the woman blush so red it practically matched her hair.
"Man this is going to be one crazy mission," said Lando as he saw them walk up the ramp past them as he followed moments after.
"So this is the infamous Millennium Falcon? It looks likes a kid put a lot of space glue on most of this hunk of junk. Oh well I've been on Hutt Space Junker so this is pretty much pleasant compared to one of those things," said Mara as she looked around the slightly compact looking ship before looking into Luke's now blue eyes that she adored just as much as his Sith one.
"Don't worry while were heading to Tatooine I'm sure I can help make sure that the commendations are...comfortable," said Darth Vicious sneaking a hand over to the left side of her hip and grasping it ever so tightly.
"Hey now Luke you may be a Sith Lord and you Mara may be the former 'Emperor's Hand', but here we will have none of that happening. Han would kill me if and when he found out about you're little...pleasure cruise of Dark Side love you two are producing," said Lando with Chewie agreeing from the cockpit and Leia who had just gone up the ramp coughed knowing it would go far at what she was in vote for as well.
"Aw you're no fun. Where's you're sense of spirit in a little fun before we go and kill everyone in the palace to free Han. I don't to be restrained from using my powers and I find that if I am it makes feel...unhappy," said Darth Vicious looking slightly angered with Mara giving a sour face while rubbing her hands gently on his chest.
"Don't worry the more we wait the more energy we'll have for later," said Mara trying to make her Sith Lord happy by kissing the side of his ear, which she succeeded in doing as he let out another demonic purr as he squeezed his side a little harder.
"Okay! Okay! Luke or Darth Vicious or whatever you want me to call you I need you two to stay away from that type of interaction till after we get Han out of Jabba's palace," said Lando who was seeing so much affection being done in front of him.
"Please Luke I need you to concentrate just this once for the mission like old time," said Leia who was slightly annoyed that Mara and Luke were moments away from a tongue duel in their soon to be connected mouths.
Darth Vicious let out a deep nearly unnatural sigh that signified he was trying to restrain himself for the sake of Leia and Lando even though he REALLY didn't want to. "I all right Leia. Just...this...once. But after? Well let's just say were going to make Tatooine a much HOTTER place!" said Darth Vicious as he very reluctantly broke away from Mara, who glared at Leia for ruining both her and Luke's fun.
"I don't know why he's being nice to you, but it had better be a good reason," said Mara as Luke took his stuff to his chosen "room" aboard the Falcon.
"Nice? This is him being nice? I don't even want to know what he is like being mean all the time," said Leia as she realized that Luke was being nice in his own Sith Lord type of way.
"Well I do and have Leia Organa. When he does get mean whether it's on a planet with problems or...somewhere else he is the most meanest thing I have ever seen or felt," said Mara making Leia raise a curious eyebrow though she realized she didn't want to know what Mara meant when she said "somewhere else" and "felt".
"O-Kay! Lando! Let's get the Falcon out of here and get Han," said Leia heading for the cockpit unaware that Mara had a devilish smirk on her face before she went to see Luke with her bag of things swung over her back.
"Why" said Mara casually as she kissed Luke on the cheek though he wasn't surprised as the Force sensed her presence and her intended action.
"Why what?" said Luke calmly as he removed another pair of black Sith robes and placed them next to him.
"Why didn't you ever find and kill Leia Organa when you had the chance?" said Mara sounding and sensing slightly annoyed knowing that Luke knew what she was talking about and he still said that.
Darth Vicious frowned at Mara's question though he knew it was going to happen it still bothered him. It bothered him because even though Leia was his sister the thought about killing her echoed slightly in his head. "What I am about to tell you is to stay between you and me Mara. At least till the time is right to tell her about it myself," said Darth Vicious turning to face her now with a serious look on his face that Mara knew to take this conversation serious as well.
"All right since whatever you're about to tell me must be seriously huge," said Mara Jade knowing that this was indeed serious.
"Mara! I was not an only child. I had a twin Mara. A twin sister," said Luke knowing that Mara would put two and two together considering how intelligent...as well as beautiful she was.
"Oh my God! Leia is you're twin sister?" said Mara who would have let out a scream had Luke not created a sound dampening bubble around Mara's mouth moments before she in actuality did.
"She can't know Mara. At least not yet anyway till the time is right. Understand?" said Luke looking at Mara who nodded when she found she couldn't scream much less speak at the moment till Luke nodded indicating he had removed the bubble.
"I can't believe it! Is she strong in the Force like you and you're Father?" said Mara wanting to know more.
"No. She doesn't have the ability of the Force and I think I know why though it is a quite a stretch though I'm pretty sure the theory is solid," said Darth Vicious as he reached out to the Force and checked to see if everyone was still in the cockpit and they were.
"What's the theory?" said Mara now whispering not wanting to be overheard though she also knew the others were still in the cockpit.
"My mother. My mother had no connection to the Force and I think it got passed down to my sister meaning I was born first minutes before her. I got my father's side of our family and Leia has my mothers from what my father told me of Padme," said Luke as he had remembered how he had touched his mother's head stone marker wishing to actually see her.
"But you won't kill her because she family? I guess that makes sense since you didn't really have a family like me did you? Well all I can say is that I understand and respect that about you because even though you're a son of a Sith Lord and a Sith Lord yourself. I still love you for being so sweet and yet so evil at the same time," said Mara moving closer to him giving him a passionate kiss that Luke easily returned.
"Hey! You two better not be doing what I think you're doing in their or I'm going to have Chewie separate you Force or not," said Lando as his words made them break the kiss as they echoed through the ship as it went into hyperspace.
(Endor-Second Death Star-2 days later)
Lord Vader along with one gold plated protocol droid and a domed shaped R2 unit astromech droid exited the shuttle that was docked in the Second Death Star's only at the moment operational hanger. The Second Death Star was nearly half complete and it was only because of the impenetrable shield coming from Endor that it was even still being made. He hated being here on this next attempt at another technological terror that the Emperor was creating. If he didn't want to keep his charade as the Emperor's loyal Sith Lord Enforcer up any more he would have destroyed this station to dust through the power of the Force. The thought was removed from his mind when the Imperial officer in charge of the Death Star's construction approached him with a confident stride of a walk. 'Well that will have to be changed into a much more worried and rushed walk,' thought Vader as he met the officer half way.
"Lord Vader this is quite a surprise and I am honored you are here," said the Admiral who felt flattery would help the situation. He was wrong.
"It is not such a high an honor as you would think Admiral from what reports I have read on the progress of the Death Star and how you are behind schedule. Even AFTER all the resources, ships, men, and supplies that were given to you for this project that you were selected for by the Emperor HIMSELF!" said Vader making his point clear that he was most displeased with the way the progress was going with the Death Star.
"We are moving as fast as we humanly can Lord Vader I can't make this go any faster," said the Admiral who felt he had to defend himself from such things.
"The Emperor would disagree with you Admiral, which was why I am here to motivate your men to go beyond human effort to get this station back on schedule," said Vader who slightly accelerating his steps making the Admiral nearly go into a brisk jog to keep up.
"I fear the Emperor asks for the impossible. I need more men for constructing a battle station of this size," said the Admiral, who felt he couldn't be blamed for such things even if they were under his commands.
"Then perhaps you can explain it to him when he gets here Admiral," said Darth Vader knowing that this sniveling man of an officer before him, who obviously did more boot licking in his younger years then actually earning the promotions.
"The Emperor's coming here?" said the Admiral knowing not only was this unexpected it was unbelievable as having Darth Vader on board was more then enough motivation to work harder, but the Emperor was another story.
"That is correct Admiral and the Emperor is not as forgiving as I am," said Vader, which in all fairness to the Admiral was true.
"We shall double your efforts," said the Admiral as he escorted Vader throughout the station as they eventually headed for one of the temporary rooms prepared for Vader.
(Tatoonie-Days Later)
"So that's the plan?" said Luke disbelievingly as heard what Lando had just told him from one his contacts that was within Jabba's Palace after doing a favor for the Hutt.
"Yeah well unlike you who just so happens to be a Sith Lord we have to use proper restraint when rescuing Han since he's not only hanging on Jabba's wall, but he's got a pet Rancor near where that Slug is resting. To make the matters worse Jabba hired Boba Fett full time to work for him as his personal body guard as well as guardian over Han's Carbonite Frozen body," said Lando wishing he hadn't done what Vader wanted.
"Restraint? My dear comrade in arms you don't know the meaning the word as I have had to restrain myself the entire time I was with you and Leia on the Rebel Fleet as well as on the trip here without having fun with Mara. A Sith Lord doesn't do restraint and if you want to do this plan the way you have it out then I am forced to do things my way. The old fashion way that is the Sith," said Darth Vicious as he summoned the Dark Side of the Force through his body that he had been suppressing the entire trip making the entire Falcon as well as the sandy planet shake around them with a terrifying rumble.
"Luke?" said Leia as Lando and Chewie moved away from Luke knowing that whatever he was doing was not good, but Mara just stood there.
She watched with intense amazement at Luke's unrivaled power sensing that Luke calling on the Dark Side of the Force would not harm her. 'Who says dark isn't sexy?' thought Mara eying her love with great interest.
"Luke? Heheheh. Luke is not here today. But I'm sure I can leave a message for you if you want," said the voice within Luke's body as it now sparked with energy similar to Force Lightning around him as well as a noticeably dark aura.
"Wait if you're not Luke...then who are you?" said Lando as he tried to instinctively reach for his blaster at the hip, but found his hand frozen where it was from an unseen force.
"Don't you recognize me? I'm Darth Vicious Lando and the reason why you can't reach for your weapon right now is because I'm using the Force to stop your arm from moving any further to it," said Darth Vicious as he looked at them all before heading for the ramp door out of the Falcon, which was already down.
"Wait! Where are you going?" said Leia slightly worried for both her safety as well as the galaxies.
"What we were sent here to do Leia. To free Han of course. I'm tired of waiting around like a Jedi would do and I need to release my power. I have to do something before I do it to those whom despite what you may believe people I care about. Now if you'll excuse me I have a massacre to create at Jabba's Palace," said Darth Vicious as he unclipped his Lightsaber and walked to Jabba's Palace that was only a few hours away.
"By the Force I love that man," said Mara who had a combination of both lust and love in her eyes as she saw him head to his destination.
"I guess there is no love like Dark Side love," said Lando who couldn't help, but smile at the growing relationship between the Sith Lord and the former hand of the Emperor.
