We're Wizards, Not Warriors: What If
Volume 4:
Chapter 5: Alastor
We then pick up a few months after the events on Malachor.
Things had gone on as normal, with the rebellion still fighting against the Empire.
Also, good news for the Rebels, the Inquisitors were now completely gone!
The Ninth Sister and Second Sister were taken down by another surviving Jedi, Cal Kestis, while Maul's only good deed had dealt with the other ones on Malachor.
Another Inquisitor had been supposedly killed by Vader himself for trying to kill him and take over the Empire.
At least the Rebels didn't have to deal with them anymore.
As for Sam….
The whole encounter with his father weighed heavily on him.
He could still remember sensing his father's sadness at the mention of Padme.
It had been a somber moment between father and son.
Not to mention the fact that his father tried to kill his adopted mother.
It had taken everything Sam had to stop his family from killing one another.
He just wished his father could see the error of his ways.
It was his only wish.
Sam was currently looking at a few pictures.
A few days ago, he had turned 15 years old, and his adopted family celebrated his birthday.
Sam was happy to have been surrounded by his adopted family.
He just prayed that nothing bad would ever happen to them.
He didn't think he'd be able to handle that!
Sam then heard the doors to his room open.
He looked to see who it was.
It was Hera. And she held a look of extreme worry.
Sam asked, "what's wrong, Hera?"
Hera said, "Sam, I've got bad news…. Your father…. He's captured everyone on the Falcon…."
Sam's face went pale.
He asked, "where did he take them?!"
"He left this message for you", Hera said as she played the message.
Vader's image appeared in front of Sam, with Hera looking away as Vader removed his mask, afraid of what was underneath, even if he looked like a normal man under the mask.
"Father…. Where is my family? What have you done to them", Sam demanded.
Vader said, "they are safe with me, aboard my private shuttle."
"Let them go", Sam shouted.
Vader said, "not until you come to me. You come to my shuttle, and we may discuss the freedom of your friends."
Sam could feel tears in his eyes.
He growled, "send me the coordinates."
Vader nods his head as he then gives his son the coordinates.
Vader said, "I await your arrival."
Vader's image then faded away.
Hera said, "Sam, you can't just give yourself over to Vader like this!"
"I have no other option! I have to go…. Or he will kill my family", Sam said in a worried tone.
Hera sighed and hugged Sam close.
Sam had tears falling down his face as he knew he had to do this in order to protect his family.
Sam whispered, "I'll see you all again, Hera. I promise. But I need to do this."
"May the Force be with you, Sam", Hera said.
Sam said, "and with you, my friend."
….
One hour later….
Sam was trembling as he made it to the coordinates.
A lone, large shuttle sitting in space, the Falcon docked in its hangar bay.
Sam had only packed a few things with him, including Polly.
He left a couple of his things back with Hera, so she could give them to his adopted family, once they were free.
Momento's until he returned to them.
Sam was clutching Polly as he got more and more nervous.
The whole situation scared him to no end.
Sam then docked his ship next to the Falcon.
"Here goes nothing", Sam whispered.
Sam slowly exited the ship and walked into the hangar.
Sam then tried to sense his family's location.
They were on the other end of the hangar….
Sam then walked towards the other end of the hangar.
His heart was pounding in his chest.
Sam just hoped his father hadn't hurt them. He couldn't bear the thought of it!
Sam called out, "mom?"
He then heard, "Sam!"
Sam then ran towards the direction of his adopted mother's voice.
He eventually found what he was looking for.
He saw his adopted family all tied up.
Vader stood right next to them.
"Sam, no! Get away from here", Eda shouted.
Sam looked at his family with dread before he yelled, "I'm here! Now let them go!"
"I will let them go on one condition", Vader said.
Sam growled, "name it."
Vader then walked forward and stood a few feet from his son as he said, "please…. Come home with me."
"Kid, no, don't do it", Han shouted.
Sam closed his eyes and steadies his breath.
"Don't do it Sam, it's a trap", Hunter shouted.
"Don't fall for his tricks", King shouted.
"Sam, please", Ahsoka pleaded.
Sam felt tears in his eyes as he said, "I will come home with you, father."
Vader began to tearfully smile under his mask.
Sam suddenly said, "but only if you let my family go first!"
Vader's smile then went away.
"And that you and your empire never try to harm my family or go after them", Sam said.
Vader stayed silent for a few moments.
Sam growled, "deal?"
"Deal", Vader said slowly.
"Just let me say goodbye to them", Sam said.
Vader nodded and stepped aside.
Sam ran towards his adopted family.
He hugged Ahsoka and Hunter around their necks.
"Thank you for taking care of me for the past few years, I'm going to miss you two", Sam whispered.
Ahsoka cried, "please…. We can't lose you…."
Sam whispered, "we'll see each other again. I promise. Also Mom…. I left a few momentos for you and the others to remember me."
Ahsoka kept crying, barely hearing what her adopted son was saying.
"I love you Mom…. You too, uncle Hunter", Sam whispered with tears in his eyes.
Hunter cried, "you better come back to us one day."
Sam cried, "I will…. I promise."
Sam then went over to Eda and King, he hugged them as well.
Eda sniffed, "you better come back!"
"I will…. I promise Aunt Eda", Sam whispered.
"No, don't go, Sam", King cried.
Sam cried, "I'm sorry King. But I have to."
Sam then went over to hug Han and Chewie.
Chewie gave him a big 'ol Wampa sized hug.
Sam let out a tearful smile as he said, "I'm gonna miss you Chewie."
Chewie gave a sad roar.
Sam then gave Han a hug.
Han whispered, "stay safe, kid."
"I will, I promise", Sam whispered.
Sam felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see it was his father.
Sam sighed and closed his eyes.
Sam felt his father hold his hand as he led him to his ship.
He didn't dare look back.
The two then entered Vader's ship.
Sam kept quiet the entire time.
The ship then took off into space and then into lightspeed.
Sam kept quiet with his eyes closed.
He then felt his father hug him.
He didn't know how to react at first.
Sam then felt more tears falling down his face.
It was like a river of tears.
Vader held his son close to him.
He didn't intend on letting go for a while.
….
We then see the ship arrive on Coruscant.
Several scouts and Lilith stood on a landing platform with a masked figure.
Sam and his father then exited the ship.
Lilith ran over, worried sick about Sam!
Sam saw her and ran to her. She was the only person he was happy to see right now.
Sam and Lilith then hugged.
She said, "I was so worried about you!"
Sam couldn't even form any words as he cried.
Lilith held him close.
The scouts all bowed as Vader walked towards his son and Lilith.
Sam took notice of the armored figure.
"Come on, Son…. Let's get you to your room", Vader said.
Sam nodded.
Vader then began to lead his son inside the palace.
Sam kept his head down the whole time.
Soon,
they made it to Sam's room.
It looked just the same as when he left it.
And it was kept clean while he was gone.
Vader said, "I wanted it perfect for your return."
"Thanks", Sam said sadly.
Vader could still sense that his son was sad.
Vader asked, "is there anything I can get you?"
Sam didn't respond as he was looking at a photo of his adopted family.
He held it close as a single tear dropped onto it.
Vader walked over to his son.
He placed his hand on his son's shoulder.
Sam broke down crying.
Vader knelt down next to Sam.
Vader took off his mask and held his son in his arms.
Sam cried into his father's shoulder.
Vader rubbed Sam's back and comforted him the best he could.
"Shhh…. Shhhh…. Shhhhh", Vader soothed.
Sam slowly began to calm down.
"Everything's going to be okay Sam, it's going to be okay", Vader whispered.
Sam wanted to believe that…. He truly did…. But he was unsure of where the future would now lead him.
"Come on, you need to get some rest", Vader whispered.
Sam nodded and made his way to his bed.
Vader then said, "tomorrow, I will have someone to introduce you to."
Sam looked confused, but before he could ask, his father tucked him into bed.
Sam felt exhausted.
Vader then kissed his son's forehead and left him to sleep.
Sam clutched Polly in his sleep.
He was thankful for her being there, making his sleep more peaceful.
….
The next day….
Sam woke up to the morning light.
He sighed somberly as he took in the sight of his room.
Sam then stood up as he walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.
He definitely needed one.
Sam removed his clothes as he entered the shower.
The hot water felt good running down his body.
Sam sighed as he grabbed the soap and began to wash himself.
He felt calm, for once.
Sam then got out of the shower.
He then saw a new pair of dark brown robes on his bed.
Sam then puts on the dark brown robes.
He muttered, "I'll have to tell dad about my preference for dresses…."
He then sighed as he finished putting on the robe.
Now he had to go meet with his father. He was probably in the kitchen.
Sam then started to walk in the direction of the kitchen. He felt tense, but strangely calm.
Sam then made it to the kitchen.
His father was sitting at the table.
Vader then looked up and saw his son. He gave a small smile.
Sam tried to smile as well.
He only managed a small one.
"Good morning Sam", Vader said.
Sam said, "morning dad."
Vader asked, "what would you like for breakfast?"
Sam shrugged and said, "bacon and eggs, I guess."
Vader then ordered a chef to prepare Sam's breakfast.
Sam looked down at his currently empty plate in silence.
Vader then noticed his son's silent demeanor.
He asked, "you're still troubled by this change, aren't you?"
Sam nods his head slowly.
Vader asked, "well…. Whatever you ask for that you think will cheer you up, I will do my best to make it happen."
Sam then thought of something and he asked, "I was wondering if I could start wearing mom's wardrobe?"
Under his mask, Vader held a look of surprise.
He wasn't expecting that.
Sam asked with a puppy dog look on his face, "please dad?"
Vader said, "oh…. Very well, my boy."
Sam ran over to hug his father.
Vader was shocked but happily accepted the hug.
"Thank you, father", Sam said with joy.
Vader nodded.
"I'll go change once I'm finished with breakfast", Sam said.
Vader nodded and said, "take your time."
….
A few minutes later….
Sam came back in a new outfit.
He was wearing one of his mother's senator outfits.
The one that was a beige color.
Sam asked, "how do I look?"
Vader said, "you look great, Sam."
Sam smiled and said, "thanks."
"After breakfast, I'm going to introduce you to someone", Vader said.
Sam nodded in curiosity.
The chef then brought over two plates.
Bacon and eggs.
Sam and Vader both ate their breakfast in relative silence.
Soon the two finished.
"Follow me, son", Vader said.
Sam nodded and followed his father.
As they walked through the hallways of the Palace, Sam could see that it had not changed at all.
Like, at all. As if it was stuck in time.
Vader then stopped in front of a door.
Vader said, "son, get ready to meet…."
The door opened.
"... Your new bodyguard", he finished.
Sam's face was like, 'are you kidding me?'
Vader stepped out of the way to show the armored figure from yesterday.
Sam got a good look at the armored figure.
Black body armor with a red Rancor skull painted on the right breastplate, and red stripes on his gauntlets and boots.
Their helmet looked like a black Mandolorian helmet with a red visor, minus the line down middle.
Vader said, "please, remove your helmet and introduce yourself."
The figure then removed their helmet.
Sam's face grew red when he saw what they looked like.
He had pale skin, black eyes with red pupils, pointed ears and red hair.
The figure then bowed as he introduced himself.
He said, "Alastor Athon, my Prince. Quite a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Sam couldn't stop the blush from forming on his face. His heart was racing a mile a minute.
But luckily, Vader didn't notice Sam's blushing.
Vader said, "Alastor will be your personal bodyguard, following you around wherever you go."
Sam asked as he turned to look at his father, "are you serious?"
Vader said, "I don't want to take any chances."
Sam pouted as he crossed his arms.
Vader said, "now, I must attend to some reports in my office. Sam, you are free to roam about the palace as long as Alastor is with you. You may still have your room to yourself, though."
"But-", Sam tried to protest.
But Vader was already walking away with an air of finality.
Sam pouted again. He then looked at Alastor as he stood at attention.
"This is gonna be a looong day", Sam muttered.
Sam turned to Alastor as he kept at attention.
Sam said, "er, at ease, Alastor."
Alastor said, "as you wish, Prince Vader-"
Sam interrupted, "Sam. Please. Just call me Sam. And…. Not Vader. I don't want you to refer to me as Sam Vader or Prince Vader, okay?"
Alastor said, "very well, what would you like me to refer to you as in your presence?"
Sam's face went red a little as he said, "just call me Sam, please, nothing else."
Alastor said, "very well, Sam."
Sam blushed even more.
He sighed and said, "I need somewhere quiet…. Perhaps the gardens…."
Sam began walking away as Alastor followed behind.
As Sam was walking towards the gardens, he passed by several scouts who all bowed to him.
Sam groaned at that.
After spending several years in the rebellion, he wasn't used to being treated like royalty.
In fact, he never liked being treated like royalty.
He wanted to be treated as normal.
Soon, Sam made it to the garden.
He sat down in the fresh grass, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Sam then felt Alastor sit next to him.
Sam opened his eyes for a second to glance at his bodyguard.
Sam could not stop the blush on his face from forming.
He tried to lighten the mood by asking, "so…. Um…. I haven't seen anyone like you before…."
Alastor looked at Sam and said, "and probably won't again. I'm an Abido."
Sam asked, "a what?"
Alastor replied, "an Abido. I'm a Nightbrother…. But one born with features more like that of a Nightsister. It's a very rare condition among my species."
Sam asked, "really?"
Alastor nodded.
Sam asked, "so how long have you been working for the empire?"
Alastor said, "a few years…. It was really the only job I could get."
Sam asked, "how come…. If it's okay to ask?"
Alastor said, "it's okay…. Most businesses didn't hire me due to my condition…. The Empire gave me a chance to be accepted, even if it's under a mask. But being hired muscle isn't my dream job…."
Sam felt sympathy for Alastor.
He asked, "what is your dream job?"
Alastor sighed as he said, "entertainment."
Sam looked surprised and he asked, "really? That sounds cool."
Alastor stuttered, "r-really?"
Sam nods his head as he smiles.
Alastor began to blush now.
Sam noticed Alastor blushing.
This made him blush as well.
The two were like that for a while, sitting in silence.
Then Sam got a call to meet his father for lunch.
Sam sighed and stood back up.
"I have to go join dad for lunch", Sam said
Alastor nodded and said, "I'll accompany you there."
Sam smiled. He actually didn't mind this time.
The two then walk back inside.
Sam tried to ignore the bowing scouts as they walked by.
Sam and Alastor then made it to the dining room.
Vader was already sitting in his chair.
He then saw his son and said, "ah, Sam. Just in time for lunch."
Sam smiled a little. He then sat down at the table.
Sam asked, "can Alastor join us for lunch, dad?"
Vader said, "I did say he was supposed to go with you everywhere, did I not?"
Sam had a small blush on his face.
Alastor awkwardly sat at the table.
A chef brought three plates to the table.
Sam was certainly hungry.
During the middle of eating, Sam decided to ask his father a question.
He said, "so, dad…. I have something to ask you…."
Vader asked as he took a sip of his drink via a straw that went through his mask, "what is it, my son?"
Sam asked, "may I be allowed to date?"
Vader then spit out his drink in surprise, all of it coming out of the mouth of his mask!
Sam didn't take that as a good sign.
Sam asked nervously, "um…. Well?"
Vader said, "no!"
Sam asked, "huh? Why not?!"
Vader said, "I don't think anyone would be worthy of my little boy!"
Sam deadpanned, "Dad, I'm nearly 16."
Then in a matter of seconds, Vader was by his son's side.
"But you're still a little boy to me, and besides, I wouldn't want to see you get a broken heart", Vader said as he cupped Sam's cheeks.
"But dad-", Sam protested.
Vader said, "no buts. You're not allowed to date anyone yet, understood?"
Sam pouted as he nodded his head.
Vader said, "good boy. Now let us enjoy the rest of our meal."
Sam sighed. It was a quiet meal after that.
….
We then see Sam in his room.
He was in deep thought about his adopted family.
He hoped they were safe and sound.
"Sam."
Sam stood up and saw Revan.
Sam smiled sadly and said, "hello, old friend."
Revan asked, "how are you feeling?"
Sam sighed and said, "not good."
Revan placed a hand on Sam's shoulder.
"I was watching for you for a while and I told your adopted family how you were doing in the palace", Revan said.
Sam nodded and said, "thank you."
"Whenever you want to contact them just ask me", Revan said.
Sam smiled gratefully at his old friend.
"Also, I have seen you have taken a liking to your bodyguard, Alastor", Revan said.
Sam blushed as red as Dathomir's sun.
Revan chuckled and pats Sam's head.
Sam gave a small sigh and said, "it doesn't matter. My dad's not gonna let me date anyone."
Revan then held Sam's hands.
"Sam, don't listen to your father. Love is truly something amazing to feel, and if you feel something for Alastor, then listen to your feelings", Revan said softly.
Sam gave a small smile.
Sam then hugged Revan. The two held each other for a few minutes.
"I love you Uncle Revan, I don't know what I would do without you in my life", Sam whispered.
Revan said, "and I hope you won't have to, my dear boy."
Sam smiled even more. He was happy to have Revan in his life.
Revan kept holding Sam in his arms for a while. He enjoyed holding Sam like this. As if they were his own child.
Revan beneath his mask, smiled.
….
3 days later….
A few scouts are seen helping Sam.
One is putting makeup on his face.
One is helping him slide into an elegant red dress.
And one was getting a large elaborate wig into his head.
The ensemble was an exact copy of his mother's throne room outfit when she was once the queen of Naboo.
Soon the scouts finished….
Sam looked at himself in the mirror.
He gasped in awe as he saw his reflection.
He could hardly believe how he looked.
He had once seen a picture of his mother wearing the throne room gown, and he almost looked like her.
It was an uncanny look.
A scout asked, "how do you feel, Prince?"
Sam said, "good…. I feel good…."
"Your bodyguard is outside waiting to escort you to the ballroom", the scout said.
Vader was hosting a ball in the Imperial Palace.
Every Senator would be there to welcome the return of the Prince.
Sam had protested to his father not to hold a ball, but his father didn't listen.
His father tended not to listen a lot.
"Thank you all for the help", Sam said.
The scouts all bowed.
Sam sighed. He still hated the bowing.
He then left the room and saw Alastor waiting for him.
He was now dressed in a fancy red suit.
Sam blushed. Alastor looked perfect to him.
Alastor blushed at Sam as well.
Sam asked with a twirl, "how do I look, Alastor?"
Alastor whispered in awe, "beautiful."
Sam blushed and let out a giggle.
He felt so pretty at that moment.
"Let's go, my father is waiting", Sam said.
Alastor nodded.
Sam and Alastor walk to the direction of the ball room.
The former was happy to have Alastor by his side.
Sam now really enjoyed having Alastor around. He was a breath of fresh air in these dismal times.
Soon, the two made it to the ballroom.
"I'm so nervous", Sam said nervously.
Alastor said, "it'll be okay. I'll be there with you the whole time."
Sam smiled and said, "thanks Alastor."
Alastor smiled and said, "you're welcome, Sam."
And with that, they entered the ballroom….
Sam saw the ballroom was massive.
Enough for such a large amount of people.
Sam felt more and more nervous.
Alastor placed his hand on Sam's shoulder.
Sam smiled and blushed. He felt a little better now.
"Ther's my little boy."
Sam turned and saw his father.
Sam sighed and said, "hi dad."
Vader then hugged his son.
Sam hugged back.
"You look so much like your mother, little one", Vader whispered.
Sam smiled and said, "thank you, dad."
"Come on, let's head to the stage, so that all the Senators can know the prince of the Galactic Empire is back", Vader said as he then began to lead Sam to the stage.
Sam sighed quietly.
Alastor followed them to the stage.
He wanted to make sure he kept Sam safe.
The three then made it to the stage.
Vader then started to make his speech.
"Attention, everyone! I am here to announce the return of my son! Your Prince: Samuel Vader!"
Sam then walked forward.
He cringed slightly when the crowd of people clapped and cheered.
Vader gave his son a side hug.
Sam closed his eyes and sighed.
Vader sensed his son's emotions.
He said, "Sam, why don't you try and enjoy yourself? I made sure the buffet table has those little cocktail wieners you love so much."
Sam smiled a little and said, "thank you, father."
Sam made his way towards the table with Alastor right behind him.
Sam then grabbed a plate.
He began putting his favorite foods on the plate.
Sam asked, "want some Alastor?"
Alastor nodded with a smile.
Sam then shared some of his food with Alastor.
Alastor really enjoyed Sam's generosity.
Sam smiled as he enjoyed having Alastor around him.
That's when a Twi'lek woman with blue skin and a slinky black dress approached.
Sam asked, "uh, can I help you?"
Neither Sam nor Alastor liked the flirtatious look she gave Sam.
Sam grew uneasy.
Alastor grew protective.
Sam asked a bit nervous and scared at the Twi'lek woman, "uh, I asked what do you want?"
The Twi'lek woman giggled and said, "I'm sorry, I was distracted by your good looks, your majesty…."
Sam bluntly said, "Tatooine."
The Twi'lek woman asked, confused, "huh?"
Sam said, "I heard that line millions of times on Tatooine."
"You don't say", the Twi'lek woman said as she approached Sam.
Sam said, "yeah, I do say", as he backed away, "and anyone who used the line was a sleazy Mynock milker."
Now the Twi'lek woman looked insulted by Sam's comments.
Alastor snickered.
Then to Sam's dismay, more people started to approach him and he grew more nervous.
Alastor tried to get Sam behind him when he saw how nervous he was.
But then two people grabbed Sam's hands and he let out a cry of fear.
That's when a rumbling was heard.
The people around Sam and Alastor, looked around in fear.
Sam got closer to Alastor.
Then a roar of anger was heard.
"I know that sound", Sam whispered.
Alastor whispered, "what is that sound, Sam?"
Sam whispered, "my Dad…."
Then in a flash, Sam was swooped into his fathers arm's!
Sam thought, 'uh oh.'
Sam heard his father snarling and growling like a protective mama bear.
Alastor was wide-eyed at the whole display.
Sam then shivered in fear as he heard his father roar at the people who tried to make advances on him.
His father was frightening like this.
"But Lord Vader…. I was just trying to….", the Twi'lek woman asked before Vader cut her off.
Vader growled, "my son is not a prize for you women to paw at."
"But all we wanted was to offer a marriage proposal", the group of people said.
Sam went pale and gulped as he counted to three for his father's reaction.
One….
Two….
Thre-
"WHAT?!"
Everyone in the ballroom froze in fear at the Emperor's anger.
Sam felt his father hold him even closer.
Sam squeaked, "choking! Not breathing!"
Vader then eased his grip on his son.
Sam said, "thanks."
Vader then puts Sam down.
"Cover his eyes, Alastor", Vader said as he began to crack his knuckles.
Sam said, "Dad, please don't hurt anyone!"
"I'm only going to teach these people not to mess with my little boy", Vader growled protectively.
Sam yelled, "DON'T HURT ANYONE!"
Vader turned to look at his son.
Sam could tell he was shocked under the mask.
Vader then let out a sigh and he turned to face the group and gave them a warning.
He growled, "no marriage proposals, or you'll all be sent flying into the nearest sun."
The group nodded in fear.
"Now leave", Vader growled.
The group ran away in fear.
Sam sighed in relief.
Alastor whispered, "are you okay, Sam?"
Sam nodded and said, "I guess."
Sam then felt himself being hugged by his father.
Sam sighed tiredly.
Vader whispered, "oh my little one, did any of those people harm you?"
"No dad, they didn't", Sam said.
"I'm not letting you out of my sight, for the entire ball", Vader whispered.
Sam groaned internally as Alastor said, "um, Lord Vader, maybe I should take Sam out on the balcony for some fresh air? There should be no other guests there."
Sam looked at Alastor in surprise.
"Hmmm, you are right, but keep my son safe at all times", Vader warned.
Alastor saluted and said, "yessir."
Sam blushed as Alastor led him to the balcony.
Once they made it there, Sam let out a sigh of relief.
He whispered, "so overprotective."
Alastor asked as he placed his hand on Sam's shoulder, "are you okay, Sam?"
Sam sighed and said, "I dunno…. He's just…. So overprotective…. I just wish I could go back to being seen as normal…. Not a Prince…."
Alastor asked, "you don't like being treated like royalty?"
Sam shook his head and said, "never have. Back before I came back…. My friend's and family treated me as normal, despite being the son of the Emperor. I…. I hope I can one day return to them…. Even after all these years, I've still not forgotten my mission…."
Alastor asked, "your mission?"
Sam looked around. Nobody else was around. He felt like he could trust Alastor.
Sam whispered, "I left because I found out that my brother and sister were still alive…. And that my path would one day lead me to them. And that the three of us could save my father from his dark path."
Alastor looked shocked and surprised.
Sam said, "please, don't tell my father any of this!"
Alastor then held Sam's hands in his as he said, "I won't tell him anything, I promise you Sam."
Sam blushed and whispered, "thank you so much…."
Sam then gave Alastor a hug.
Alastor was shocked, but slowly hugged back.
The two stood there for a while.
Everything around them seemed to disappear as they held one another.
….
Meanwhile on the Falcon….
Han and Chewie were making some repairs as Ahsoka sat at the chess table, looking at Sam's lightsabers.
She had been doing this a lot since he had left.
She really missed her adopted son.
She wanted nothing more than to hold him in her arms again.
She held one of his plushies in her hands.
It was a plushie of an ancient legend called a…. Garden Gnome. A tiny human with a beard and hat.
She gave a sad smile when she heard someone enter the room.
She looked to see Hunter walking to her…. Carrying a baby….
Yes, Ahsoka had found out she was pregnant shortly before Sam had left.
This was her and Hunter's son: Jesse, as a memorial to one of Ahsoka's fallen men.
Jesse had her orange skin, one red eye, one blue eye, and bleached blonde hair that was almost white.
Jesse cooed as he waved his arms.
Ahsoka couldn't help but smile as Hunter handed her the baby.
But then her thoughts went back to Sam.
Hunter noticed and said, "you miss him…. Don't you?"
Ahsoka nodded.
Hunter sighed and said, "I know things seem bleak…. But I'm sure we'll see Sam again."
Ahsoka asked, "but the question is…. When?"
Hunter shrugged and said, "we'll have to trust in the force that it'll be soon. And also, Revan told us he's doing okay at the palace."
Ahsoka said, "I know, I'm just really worried about him."
"Like Revan would say, 'trust in the force'", Hunter said.
Ahsoka then looked out the window.
She nodded and said, "I'll try…."

And once again, we introduce one of Sam's love interests from the various stories SuperSentai199 and I have written. That being Hordak, Prime, Alastor and Lucifer. It's almost always these 4 as love interests.
We chose Alastor for this one.
An Abido was an original concept we came up with to explaim Alastor's appearance in this story. Hope you guys liked the idea.
