Chapter 13-Bloody and Violent Reunions
(A/N: I'm a little backed up with other projects so until I get those resolved I have to stop after this chapter. No its not writers block and I should get a story in sometime later this upcoming week or a little bit after. Just review what you think.)
Some people say being a Pacifist is different then that of someone who is classified as a Berserker as they appear to be two different things. In truth they are in some cases similar if not one thing instead of two despite what people believe. A Pacifist is specific someone who deplores violence and refuses to fight even if it mean his or hers own injury or even destruction. A Berserker is someone who fights with a rage that is unmatched on any battlefield or in any war ever recorded. Luke Skywalker, also known as Darth Vicious was both in his own way as he deplored using violent method when it was meaningless. However, he embraced it and wielded it like his Lightsaber all the same yet he could not define himself by such things. He felt through the Force the ever noticeable differences and the similarities between the two both important, but meaningless all the same forms that define someone as a Pacifist or a Berserker.
At the moment, he was a Berserker, a mighty Sith Lord known as Darth Vicious, and not Luke Skywalker the ever sympathetic Pacifist he kept locked away until he was need. Darth Vicious marched with a walk as if he had an entire army of the 501st behind him like his father did when he took up the role of Sith Lord and started the following the Emperor. The only difference was unless you were connected to the Force you couldn't sense much less see the army marching with him was there. The sand storm he was generating through the Force was unmatched whether another was generated naturally by the planets nature or unnaturally by another Force user. The tall, heavy, and metallic gate that was in front of him as he stopped in front of Jabba's Palace rose for him as if he was expected when he clearly wasn't. In front of him, after the gate stopped less then a foot above his actual height was a small army of Gamorean pig guards with axes and guns ready to be used on him. "No amount of credits or loyalty to that disgusting slug of a Hutt can stop the Dark Side of the Force," said Darth Vicious as he let loose the sand storm around him inside at the pig like guards blinding them as he ignited his Lightsaber with a smile on his face that only a Sith Lord could wield.
Deep within the chambers of Jabba's Palace the slimy Hutt sat upon his throne with the trap door that led down below to his precious Rancor waiting in the wings. That is if the enemy should of his be so bold as to stand in front of him to kill him. Though he looked calm as he was bloated Jabba was far from calm as he heard the squealing of his guards as well as the others as they fell one by one to the enemy. To Jabba the horrifying sound of a Lightsaber came blazing out of the silence of the screams as blaster fire was quickly silenced by that very sound. It came with the power and strength that Jabba had never seen, heard, or felt before and everyone around him felt the same way as him. "Kill this enemy! I don't care what you have to do, but the first one to kill this being will get half of my fortune," said Jabba knowing that any species regardless of how different each of them were all bound together with greed.
Entranced by this chance at this new found wealth, but in fact half of the wealth of a Hutt the loyal men of Jabba the Hutt save Boba Fett who clung to the shadow like it was a part of him charged to the battlefield nearby with blaster and weapons raised to fight this very deadly enemy. "If this guy gets any closer you better hope he doesn't get by me or else you won't have anything to protect you, but that beast down below," said Boba who was near the Carbonite Frozen Han Solo as the battle got closer and closer to him and Jabba's location.
Jabba said nothing however, as the battle not far away went silent several minutes later as the last of his practically mindless henchmen fell down the steps after having its head removed from it body with the Lightsaber that was humming in the silence. "You have disappointed me Jabba. I was hoping you would create a challenge for me, but instead all you've done is allow me to create a massacre in your own Palace. Just when I think a Hutt can't get any weaker you prove me wrong," said Darth Vicious as he walked his Sith robed body down the steps to confront Jabba and the Bounty Hunter he sensed near Han's frozen body.
"You think you can threaten me you Sith spawned piece of poodoo? I was killing your kind before the Sith even meat something to me or my species," said Jabba trying to maintain a calm composure even though he was scared out of his mind.
"Is that a fact? Well then you should know that the Sith have been killing things like you as well as every other species on every world they've been on before YOUR species was even worthy of being recognized," said Darth Vicious who turned his head to eye Boba Fett who couldn't help, but feel nervous at the presence of the Sith Lord that was Vader's son since he had heard all the dark stories about Darth Vicious.
"Fett! Kill this Sith scum and bring me his Lightsaber to hang on my trophy wall," said Jabba and it was in that Boba Fett knew he couldn't and wouldn't take on any bounty to take the Sith Lord's head out of the fact that his head would be taken instead.
"Sorry Jabba, but a good Bounty Hunter knows when to and when not try and collect on a bounty you place on someone. Unfortunately for you this just happens to be one of those situations that I cannot obey you," said Fett as he lowered his weapon into a defensive position, but it was a sign to Darth Vicious that he was no threat to him.
"TRAITOR!" said Jabba as he knocked over his drink with his stubby hand as he then suddenly activated his auto turrets hidden in the shadows as the trap door below Darth Vicious who deliberately fell into the trap to face this tortured monster while Boba Fett went for cover as the turrets fired on the Bounty Hunter's current position.

"Man I have never seen Luke...I mean Darth Vicious look like that before," said Lando who knew now to stay on Luke's less darker half.
"Indeed gambler. I have never seen him use that much Dark Side energy before, but it REALLY turned me on," said Mara as she relished in the echoing of her lovers Dark Side energy like water in a refresher shower as it bathed her in his dark glow.
"Look Mara I don't need that type of information right now. Can you sense where Luke is right now and if he's all right?" said Leia who felt disgusted by Mara's comments about Luke.
"He's fine Leia don't worry he is a Sith Lord after all. In fact he's enjoying himself over there so much he's actually fighting Jabba's prized Rancor," said Mara who just couldn't help, but let out another sigh of pleasure of bathing in her lovers echoing power as only she could.
"Times like this I wish I was still Governor of Cloud City on Bespin," said Lando feeling that Mara was releasing too much information.
(Second Death Star-One day before the Emperor arrived)
Darth Vader sat in his meditation pod that had been set up for him two days ahead of his arrival as the Admiral in charge knew that Sith Lord would need it when he eventually arrived. When he sensed his son's power through the Force he was nearly overwhelmed in its ever dark glow and smiled at how strong his son had become. Vader knew that his bond with his son increased his own strength allowing Vader to progress his ability to heal himself through the power of the Dark Side. After all if great Darth Pleagus the Wise could create life with the Dark Side then it was theoretically possible to heal one's self through it as well. He had in truth progressed very well in his attempts to heal himself through the Dark Side. All ready Vader could sense his once burned and blistered skin beneath his armor was healing quite nicely through his bond with his son. His head was a more delicate area to heal as his mask not only slowed down his progress, but without it no one on the Death Star would recognize him.
What was a more bigger problem was if the Emperor discovered this, then the withering old Sith Lord would no doubt try to do something to him to disrupt the connection to his son and cripple him again. Knowing that, whether he was the new Emperor or his son it didn't matter as long as the old one Emperor died at their hands in the end no matter what happened. 'Soon my son we will get all that we have wished for and more. And now, with Mara Jade by your side I sense as your future wife as well as you by mine side as my one true offspring, then we will be unstoppable and no one can oppose what I wanted for your mother,' thought Vader knowing that if Leia his only non-Force child of his suddenly growing family did not join him then he would have no choice, but to have her locked away someplace secluded though he had no intention of putting her anywhere near a prison cell again.
No. He would have her go to Naboo to the Amidala's to be placed under her care while he had several troopers watch them all. "A nice little place tucked way. A perfect place for the royalty that is my daughter and a place fitting for a Princess much less the planets late Queen that was my wife that was her mother," said Vader out loud as he very slowly began healing his head in just the right spot as it would not interfere with his helmet.
(Tatooine-Jabba's Palace)
The mighty beast that was the Rancor was a monster unto itself that any Sith Lord would love to tame, control, and have as a pet. However, in this case the Rancor had been badly abused and was suffering to a point that any hope of taming the beast was beyond even his abilities. So naturally there was only one thing left to do...slay the beast and ends its suffering...the Sith Lord way. "Shame really. If I had known you were this messed up I would have come for you sooner. Now your going to be nothing more then just a rotting corpse," said Darth Vicious as he slashed the Rancor's fingers that were reaching for him clear off causing the beast to scream in pain as the mighty Sith Lord put his hand up and sent the biggest wave of Force Lightning from his left hand he had ever done sending the deranged beast back till it hit the rocky edged wall hard enough to send a spiky rock from above down onto the monsters skull piercing and killing it instantly.
Above Boba Fett had used his trusty blaster rifle to shoot out 3 out of the 4 auto-laser turrets that were firing on him. "When this is over Jabba I'm going to hang your slug of a head on my ships wall," said Boba Fett as he aimed, fired, and hit the last laser turret causing it to explode leaving the Hutt open for an attack.
Just then an explosion was heard beneath the two and Darth Vicious appeared after just making an impressive jump from below the Rancor pit. "Hello Jabba. Remember me?" said Darth Vicious as he created a Force Choke on Jabba with his left hand while his right held an ignited Lightsaber ready to be used should Boba Fett become bold enough to shoot him in the back.
"When your done with the Hutt what is going to happen to me?" said Boba Fett knowing that his fate for a moment was in the hands of a Sith Lord.
Darth Vicious didn't answer for a moment as he was busy squeezing the life out the fat Hutt though he had an idea on what to do with Fett. "Tell me Boba Fett...is Kamino still the Clone Center of the galaxy?" said Darth Vicious as he had unknowingly brought up memories from Fett's past with his "father" and how he was raised by him before they fled to Genosis where he saw his father die at the hands of a Jedi Master.
"Yeah it is though its not what it was when I was there as a child or when I helped the 501st stop the unofficial Clone uprising that occurred their," said Boba Fett as Darth Vicious closed the Hutt's wind pipe and eventually suffocated the enormous slug of a Hutt.
"Yes my father told me all about it since he was in the Star Destroyer above the planet when the Emperor sent him, the 501st, and you to solve the uprising. In any case Boba Fett I know of your... secret origin and I think that you should continue to further follow in your...'father's' footsteps by being used to create an army of clones like he did for the Republic," said Darth Vicious as he turned to sense the now surprised Bounty Hunter who dropped his blaster rifle for the first time in his life.
"You want me to what?" said Boba Fett who couldn't believe that the Sith Lord was asking him of that.
"Listen to me Boba Fett and listen well. The Emperor is not going to live much longer and soon a new more fit Emperor will be crowned and he will need an army to back him up. Especially when changes are made to the Empire that will cause a ripple in its very institution and he will need a Clone Army ready for that day. Rest assured Fett you will be heavily paid much more then your father was and you can have a...'son' of your own if you wish it," said Darth Vicious knowing that Fett was so busy with Bounty Hunting he had no offspring of his own and it wouldn't hurt to have one.
"It won't be easy since its not the functional facility it once was," said Boba Fett as he picked up and holstered his blaster while his possibly new business partner went to the controls that held a Frozen in Carbonite Han Solo.
"You have knowledge of the place and with the wealth of the now diseased Jabba the Hutt you can get that place up and running long after I'm back with the Rebel Fleet. By the time the new Emperor is crowned I believe you will ready with the first batch of Clones ready for deployment. An added bonus is that the 501st get to see more of their Clone brethren again. I know after the Emperor stopped making the Clones for the army they never got used to the new guys that replaced the standard divisions of the Empire's Stormtrooper army as their numbers have slowly dwindled during all the fighting with the Rebels. Though you won't admit it Boba Fett they are your brethren to and you are obligated to let their number grow again into the fighting force that made them the drive of the Old Republic that helped turn it into the Empire," said Darth Vicious as the Frozen Carbonite block that was Han Solo was now on the ground only to be levitated through the Force off of it by the Sith Lord.
"You know this could go all Sith on you, no pun intended of course," said Boba Fett as he and Darth Vicious started to leave the Palace that was filled with nothing, but death at the moment save them and Han Solo.
"Don't worry about my end Boba Fett you just take care of yours. When this is over you will have not only a lot of wealth to retire on, but a 'son' of your own and this time unlike your father you won't lose your head to a Jedi Master and will be able to raise your boy as you see fit," said Darth Vicious knowing what he was saying was true.
Boba Fett could only nod at this as he escorted the Sith Lord with the current inanimate body of Han Solo outside of the Palace as they walked passed the scorched, limbless, and bloodied bodies on the floor. "I'll head over to Kamino after I collect the wealth from the Hutts accounts as well from his private stash in his Palace. Then I'll blow this place all the way to Korriban to cover our tracks since I really don't want myself to be around here anymore or remember it for that matter," said Boba Fett who received a nod from the Sith Lord.
"Do what you have to do Fett. That's all I ask of you," said Darth Vicious as he generated another sand storm to cover his tracks as the Bounty Hunter that was Boba Fett just stared at it before heading back down below to collect what was his hoping this was all worth it like it had been his old man.
(Millennium Falcon-One Hour Later)
To say that everyone was surprised with the exception of Mara was an understatement as Darth Vicious that was Luke Skywalker brought the Carbonite block onto the Falcon. Lando with Leia's assistance began the reversing process on the Carbonite that incased Han Solo while a now tired and exhausted Luke Skywalker with the help of Mara Jade went to another section of the ship to help the Sith Lord relax. After all...one does not use so much of the Dark Side of the Force and not become exhausted after letting go when it was no longer required to be used at the moment. "If you won't be needing me I need to meditate and possibly sleep? I think I over did myself in Jabba's Palace and then again in getting here," said a tired Darth Vicious as Mara started to support him.
"What I think you need Luke is a good massage?" said Mara seductively into Luke's ear and he couldn't help, but smile at her with Lando and Leia noticing.
"Crazy Sith Lord love. Was it ever like that with you and Han?" said Lando as the Frozen Carbonite that held Han Solo was slowly leaving him.
"You're joking right?" said Leia right before Han could be safely removed the Carbonite and rolled him off into their arms to carry him to chair closest to them.
"Uh my head. Where am I? I can't see!" said Han after a moment of trying to move his body and see only to find he couldn't see anything except darkness.
"Relax Han you'll be able to see in do time, but for right now just relax for now you're with friends again," said Leia in a soothing voice.
'Man when Han finds out that it was none other then Luke who rescued him, killed that Jedi of a Master Yoda, and joined the Rebellion while he was away...he will want to go back into Frozen Carbonite hibernation again. Hell I might join him,' thought Lando as he saw everyone had someone caring for them except him, but he wasn't going to ask Chewie for a hug that Wookie would break his spine in two.
(A/N: Bet you thought Boba Fett was going to die like in the movie? HA! WRONG! It's MY AU so I decide who lives and who dies. I'M VFSNAKE BITCH! HAHA!)
