A son's Revenge….chapter 8
Not mine...just for fun
It has been three months the Death Star was destroyed. The Bounty on Luke Whitesun was one million credits, but the messages came as a surprise for the alliance. The Holo News throughout the galaxy claimed that Luke Whitesun was an alias and that his real name was Luke Kenobi…
Only Leia, Han, Chewbacca and Mon Mothma knew his real name: Luke Skywalker. He requested that if he died in battle he wanted the record to show that Luke Skywalker not Whitesun or Kenobi was the one who destroyed the Death Star.
The other members of the Alliance inquired Luke about the news. He claimed that his father being a Jedi made him change his name to enter the imperial forces and for reasons he couldn't elaborate he still wouldn't reveal his real name, but accepted to be called as Commander Kenobi in honor to his short lived mentor.
The alliance was looking for another hide out. With Luke's high bounty and the repercussion of the destruction of the Death Star put an enormous pressure on the alliance, they had to be cautious.
General Riekkan gathered the alliance.
"There is a place we can set a base there, and commander Kenobi can help to oversee it."
"Where, general Riekkan?" asks Han.
"The Hoth System."
Darth Vader sent out thousands of probe droids throughout the galaxy.
He wanted to crush Kenobi's spawn.
The search was on….
Captain Piett was looking at the monitors, "Admiral! I think I found the rebels."
"Nonsense, it is probably nothing." Admiral Veers replied.
Darth Vader approached. "You found something!"
"My lord, there are so many uncharted places…"
Vader looked at the monitor.
"That's it! The rebel base is there and I am sure young Kenobi is with them."
"Yes, my lord." Admiral Veers looks at Captain Piett with anger, the captain seemed to gain more respect from the dark lord in front of the crew! How dare him?
Admiral Veers send the fleet into hyperspace.
Luke was out in the middle of the snow, when he was attacked. The beast took him to a cave but Luke managed to escape, but it was too cold, he lost consciousness.
Han Solo turned off his comlink. Princess Leia was trying to get a hold of him but he was upset.
C3PO approached Han. "Sir, Princess Leia is trying to communicate."
"I turned it off! I don't want to talk to her." Han replied.
"She is wondering where is master Luke."
"Why?"
"He hasn't arrived, sir."
Han walked towards one of the alliance soldiers.
"Where is commander Kenobi?"
"He probably came with the others."
"Probably?" Han frowned. "Why don't you go and find out."
"Yes sir."
Han started to walk out of the cave.
"Sir, with the temperature dropping you will not survive!"
"Then I see you in hell!" Han replied and left.
Han search for Luke was successful.
The dark lord was meditating. His anger was rising. The young Jedispawn was bringing the worst of him. His hatred was turning him more terrifying amongst the crew. He was meditating when one of the officers approached nervously.
"What is it commander?"
"My lord, Admiral Veers has entered the hyperspace, the rebel fleet raised a shield that we can't penetrate."
"The rebels have been alerted of our presence, he entered the hyperspace too quickly." Vader replied.
"He felt that surprise…" the commander tried to explain but Vader interrupted him.
"He is clumsy as he is stupid!"
Vader pressed the comlink and on the video appeared the admiral and captain Piett.
"Lord Vader…we…ah!"
"Captain Piett, prepare the fleet for a ground attack." Vader spoke as he force choked the admiral. "You are in charge now, admiral Piett."
Admiral Veers felt on the ground dead.
"Thank you, lord Vader." The newly appointed admiral replied.
Vader was looking forward to get his hands on the young Jedi…
After the battle of Hoth, Luke went to Dagobah…he was trained by Yoda who sensed the anger in Luke. His anger towards Vader was dangerous.
"Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering…" Yoda would warn him.
Luke was doing well training until the visions came…
His friends from the alliance in danger in a city of clouds…
"I must go to them," Luke insisted. Yoda convinced the young man to complete his training but he followed his heart. He had to save those who saved him from Vader…
Bespin…
The trap was set…Vader had just frozen Han in carbonite.
"Take the princess and the wookie to my ship," Vader ordered Lando.
"You told me they were going to stay under my supervision." Lando replied.
"I am altering the plans, pray I don't alter any further," warned Vader.
Lando was furious, he left with the princess and Chewbacca with his guards and imperials, but he also altered the plans and had imperials under his guard's blasters…
Meanwhile, in the carbonite chamber Vader was waiting. Pure hate was pulsing in his veins, he could not wait until he had young Kenobi under his grasp, he wanted to kill him but the emperor had ordered him to be brought to Coruscant.
Luke entered the chamber and felt the dark presence. He tapped into the force for calm, and he pushed back the memories of his torment when he was the dark lord's captive.
"The Force is with you, young one." Vader spat. "But you are not a Jedi, yet."
Luke approached boldly, "you will find me full of surprises." Luke replied.
Vader waited. It was Luke who started the battle.
The fight was going until Luke was thrown down the chamber.
"All too easy." Vader waived his hands and with the force he turned on the carbonite chamber.
"Perhaps you are not as strong as the emperor has foreseen.." he continued.
Luke jumped.
"Impressive, most impressive." Vader replied.
Vader once again thought that best revenge would be against his master if he turned the boy into a Sith…
"Only your anger can destroy me," he taunted the young man.
Luke attacked and Vader fell. Luke searched for the dark lord throughout the chamber until he reached the other side of a tunnel and heard the hissing noise of the respirator. Vader attacked Luke using the force, throwing objects.
Luke's desperation grew as he realized that he ended up on a bridge. There was no escape from his father's murderer.
"You are beaten!" Vader groaned. The hate was swelling on him. He didn't care if the emperor wants the boy alive. He reached at the point of no return. He had to kill the spawn of Kenobi and end the legacy of Jedi forever.
Luke kept defending himself as much as he could. He was down and he attacked fiercely and touched Vader's right arm. At that moment he went back in time…
/Don't try it/ Obi Wan pleaded…
/You underestimate my powers/ Vader screamed and leaped…
It was with that anger he attacked Luke and took his right arm…
"There is no escape!" Vader approached, Luke was terrified, hanging on the poll,
"I will destroy you!" he screamed. Luke didn't see any escape, he surrendered himself to the will of the force and let go the poll.
He was hanging upside down, crying for Ben.
"Leia! Hear me!"
Thank the Force, she did.
Lando Calrissian, Leia and Chewbacca rescued Luke but they were still running away from the dark lord. C3PO and R2D2 were with them.
Young one! You will not escape me! Vader sent through the force. He wanted to terrify the young rebel and considering Luke's state of mind and weakened body from the bruises Vader was succeeding.
"It's Vader!" Luke spoke softly, terrified.
There will be no escape for you. I will destroy you as I did to your father! he continued in his mind.
"Ben, help me!" Luke pleaded.
"Punch it !" Lando screamed in panic, the star destroyer was getting to close.
"You shall pay for what you've done, young one!" Vader's voice kept echoing in Luke's mind through the force. Luke could feel the powerful hatred from the dark lord, he was shivering in fear; "Ben, please!" Luke whispered and shut his eyes tight. He was utterly fearful that his father's murderer was closing in.
/When I have you…you will beg for death…/
Luke shut his eyes and let the tears to fall free. Leia embraced him and took him to sickbay."You must rest, Luke," she said calmly.
When the Star Destroyer was about to launch the tractor beam R2D2 rolled across the Falcon and with a swift movement reconnected the hyperdrive.
Vader screamed in rage when he saw the Falcon disappear before his eyes…
