This chapter will be jumpy from the last one and such.

Chapter 11: Yavin IV?

Ravan reported to the bridge as he was supposed to and found Admiral Piett and Darth Vader awaiting him. The other crew members all seemed to have something to do. Some checked security records, prisoner records, or storm trooper sleeping logs, while others checked more tactical things like how much the turbo laser batteries were charged, or made sure shield generators were operating at the right percent. Lord Vader worked all of them hard.

"You called me." Ravan stated as he walked across the metal above the crew pit. Admiral Piett nodded.

"Has the princess told you anything?" Vader asked.

"No," Ravan replied dimly.

"I see, what tactics did you use?" Vader said.

"I tried to get her to trust me, by giving minimal information about myself."

"A moderately good plan," Vader commented. "it would have worked too, had you been interrogating someone that was not as strong willed as the princess."

"If you says so master, anyways why did you call me here?"

"Really to see if the princess hinted anything." Vader answered as Piett went to answer a call from the helmsman,

"She didn't," Luke said. "Do you have the hyperspace route calculated?"

"We do now." Piett said walking back up to them with the faintest hint of a grin at getting the work done without screwing up, or maybe just because the fact Vader had not strangled him yet. Vader turned to the Admiral with interest as did Ravan.

"And?" Vader asked.

"Most possible destinations are sectors in space, however I do not think it is likely the rebels have a space station, I think the ship probably headed directly to their main base. Now we have a number of planets, including the Naboo system, the Hoth system, and the Yavin system. I doubt it is Naboo for it is to inhabited and under the control of an Imperial governor."

"What about the Hoth system?" Vader asked.

"Our records on the Hoth system show that every planet has been marked uninhabitable, although there is one ice planet that there is a slight possibility they could have a base on it. But the planet is extremely dangerous, the temperatures can plummet to under minus fifty degrees and it is inhabited by savage wampas. The rebels would likely lose more men there than if they briefly encountered one of us."

"I see." Vader said. "And the Yavin system?"

"It is the gas planet Yavin milord, uninhabited of course, though I doubt the rebels could have established a floating base, I believe it may be on one of its moons, most of which are somewhat inhabited. One moon sparks interest, Yavin IV. It is a complete jungle moon, uninhabited and it has may ruined temples on it which would be key places to establish bases.

"The system also has at least one nebula field around it, making it an ideal place to hide ships."

"Perhaps I will talk to the princess, if I tell her we know her base is on Yavin IV she may talk." Vader said.

"Excellent Lord Vader, what will you have me do?" Piett asked.

"Contact the Emperor, tell him we may have a lead."

"Yes milord."

"And what about me master?" Ravan asked.

"Stay on the bridge."

"I was just interrogated by your kath hound Luke." Leia spat as Vader descended the three steps into her cell. The door slammed shut behind him. Vader was surprised when he heard the name Luke, so that was the information Ravan had given her.

"I am surprised he told you his first name." Vader said in a tone that had somewhat mild curiosity in it.

"Yeah and at first he lied about his last name."

"Last name? What did he say?"

"He said his last name was Lars."

Vader narrowed his eyes behind his black mask. Lars was Luke's last name. Owen had said so himself.

"What do you mean he lied about Lars being his last name?"

"I mean his eyes literally told me he was lying when he said Lars. He was this close to me." She spat, moving her hands in front of her face.

"So what is his last name?"

"Is this some kind of mind game Darth Vader, because it isn't working."

"This is no mind game. Just tell me."

"His last name is Skywalker." Leia answered as though Vader was highly unintelligent.

"Skywalker?" Vader repeated in disbelief. There was no other Skywalker alive, other than he himself. His mother was dead, Padmé was dead. Padmé. That brought a huge wave of guilt crashing into Vader. He had killed her, it was entirely his fault, not only her but his child…. If Leia was right could Luke possibly be his child? Could Padmé have given birth before she died? Vader thought briefly for a moment, pushing away the guilt and pain with great effort. She had died a while after he was… repaired after what Obi-wan did to him. Vader threw a bucket of water on the spark that threatened to ignite a fire in his belly, he had to be focused, he could fume about Kenobi and kill a few storm troopers later. Perhaps she had given birth, and someone had hidden Luke on Tatooine. It was starting to make sense. But finally Leia spoke, throwing off his train of thought.

"Are you still alive Vader?" She asked. Vader looked down at her and raised a fisted hand, wrapping invisible cords around her neck.

"You will not mock me." He snarled.

"Can't breath… can't breath!" Leia squeaked.

"You will not mock me."

"No… will not." Leia squeaked again. Vader let her go, she fell off of her bench and onto the floor, making a sickening splat on the wet grime that crusted over it. She coughed and sputtered as she regained her breath. When she finally got it and stood back up Vader was gone, to call the Emperor and consult him on the fact of Luke being a Skywalker.

The reason this seems jumpy to me is because Luke just went to interrogate Leia and now Vader is doing it. Oh and by the way just after Leia tells Vader, Skywalker you must insert the music from the scene where Anakin is in the Jedi council room and Padmé is in her apartment just after Windu leaves to assassinate the chancellor. Insert it there. By the way can anybody tell me what Sidious is going to say? Anyone? Is he going to tell Vader the truth of convince him otherwise? Hmm? Sadly no reward except for the next chapter being updated soon. Maybe in this day because I am far ahead in typing.
