After landing his shuttle and riding the elevator up to the Star Destroyer's highest level, Emperor Suoidis entered his throne room. He walked up the two flights of stairs to the level of the room where his throne was. He looked out his massive window behind his chair and looked down at the thousands of TIE fighters awaiting the Falcon's arrival. Everything was going as planned.
Suoidis turned on his comlink.
"Prison guard?" he said into the small device.
"Yes, my lord?" came a reply.
"Please escort Skywalker to my quarters… immediately."
"Yes, my lord." The transmission ended.

The cell door slid open, and a stormtrooper entered. Luke looked up at him from his bench.
"Time for you to go meet the Emperor." The soldier said. Calmly, Luke rose and followed the stormtrooper to the elevators.
…………………………………………………………….
The Millennium Falcon shot through space at the speed of light… but it would still take quite a while for it to reach Korriban. Inside the famous fighter, Leia Solo sighed.
"Can this thing go any faster?" she asked.
"No, this thing can't!" Han growled. He was still quite exhausted. Leia left the cockpit and entered the large, circular room where Luke had first started his lightsaber training. Leia ignited her lightsaber, its yellow blade glowing against her face. She walked over to a box, opened it, and picked up an old ball. She pressed a button on it, and it rose out of her hand and began to shoot lasers at her. She blocked every single one. Luke had trained her well.
Luke…
She hoped that he was all right.

The door to the throne room slid open, and a stormtrooper and Luke entered. For a moment Luke thought that he had gone back in time. The throne room looked just like the late Emperor Palpatine's. The fact that an armored man was right next to Luke didn't help.
Luke noticed a tall, strong man looking out of the circular window behind the throne. The stormtrooper cleared his throat, and the man turned toward the two.
"Welcome, young Skywalker." He grinned. He walked down the two flights of stairs. He was soon only a few feet away from Luke.
"Emperor Suoidis." Luke said. The man nodded, and then told the stormtrooper to leave. Once the door had slid shut, Suoidis punched Luke in the stomach. Luke fell to the ground in shock.
"It's about time I get my revenge…" Suoidis grinned. He unhooked his lightsaber hilt from his belt and ignited the weapon. Its blood red blade glowed against the floor. Luke stood up.
"What do you want with me?" he asked, igniting his own saber.
"Your life!" Suoidis howled, and he charged at Luke.

In the middle of her lightsaber exercise, Leia for some reason felt a jolt of surprise… but nothing was there to surprise her. All of a sudden she saw a flash of red, and heard a sickening laugh…
She was seeing and hearing what was happening to Luke! Suddenly her foot stung, taking her out of her trance. The training ball had hit her.
…………………………………………………………….
Luke and Suoidis' lightsabers were locked together. Suoidis laughed.
"You're used to fighting nothing but a cyborg, Skywalker." He grinned. "I fight like the Jedi of the Old Republic. You've never face anything like me!" He attacked again, his saber twirling left and right, blows coming from all directions. Luke could barely keep up.
"Why are you so against me, Suoidis?" Luke managed to ask. Suoidis suddenly stopped. His smile faded, and his eyes turned red.
"Your father." he said. "Your father was Darth Sidious' apprentice… and all I was was the Emperor's Backup!"
"The what?" Luke asked.
"In case your father failed a mission and was killed, I would become Sidious' next apprentice- a backup. But Vader was the treasured Chosen One, he would not be defeated by anyone. I was useless. I should have been the true apprentice, and he should have been the Backup! I was more powerful than Vader! But Sidious did not realize that… but now my revenge against the Skywalker bloodline has arrived. I will show the damned soul of the Dark Lord Sidious who was more powerful than who! I! Darth Suoidis! RULER OF THE SITH ORDER!"
And suddenly Darth Suoidis reached inside of his lightsaber hilt… and he pulled out another hilt that attached to the original end. He ignited the new end… now he had a double bladed lightsaber.
"That lightsaber's impossible! The inside of one half would have to be hollow-" Luke began, but Suoidis interrupted.
"My lightsaber doesn't need the crystals and wires that yours has!" Suoidis said. "The Force is its power source!" Suoidis charged, and now Luke was fighting a fighting style and weapon that he had never fought before.
…………………………………………………………….
The Millennium Falcon came out of lightspeed. Korriban was in view… as was a Star Destroyer.
"Well, what do you know?" Han said as Leia entered the cockpit. "You were right."
"What are those?" Leia asked, pointing to the moving gray dots that were flying all around the Star Destroyer. Han looked closely at the dots… and then he went pale.
"We have to go." He said, steering the Falcon away from the Destroyer.
"What's wrong?" Leia asked. She then saw the dots grow larger, and some began to shoot green laser bolts at the Falcon. They were TIE fighters.
The Falcon completed its turn… but another wall of TIE fighters was in its way of escaping. Han looked to his left and right… TIE fighters blocked those exits, too. He and Leia were trapped.
"Strap yourself in." Han said to his wife. Leia sat down and put on her safety restraints.
And suddenly, every single TIE fighter attacked.
