Hello again! I'm sorry that it's been a while, but I was having computer problems. I am out of school but still have a busy summer ahead of me.

1) I do not own Star Wars. Just this.

2) This isn't in any order other than I thought of it and wanted to write it.

3) Suggestions for pranks are always welcome

2 ABY

This is the third one this week. Another Grand General has been decapitated and body burned, leaving behind only the head and the identification of the man and a symbol burned into the wall. This one is different than all the others that came before it, however, because the news got wind of it. Meaning the Emperor got to see the symbol for the first time, since Vader was doing his best to cover that part of the assassinations up because he knew that Palpatine knew that the symbol referenced Anakin Skywalker's exploits in the Clone Wars and Vader also knew that his master would put the pieces of the puzzle together and understand that there is another Skywalker on the loose. Vader was right when he predicted that the revelation would not go over well with the old man (although he, much like us, have doubts as to whether he is a man at all).

The news article concerning the murder of the Grand General was released with the Emperor's approval. There were late night shows concerning what this meant, news anchors were going into hysterics, and a feeling of chaos permeated the digital portion of the Empire all because of a symbol.

It signaled the return of Skywalker, the most infamous general of the traitorous Jedi Army in the Clone Wars. He had disappeared without a trace nearly 20 years ago, occasional speculation coming around if the man was even dead, or if he was instead hiding for the perfect moment to come back and haunt the galaxy once more.

'Well, they definitely got that wrong,' thought Vader, who was previously known as Anakin Skywalker, as he stalked down a hallway in the newly minted Executor, trying to keep his troops in line. 'Anakin Skywalker is Dead. Besides they missed the first part of the symbol, which is clearly different from Anakin Skywalker's symbol anyways, but that it means that someone is taking up the mantle of Skywalker or is a child of Skywalker.'

The cyborg had ruled out the first option, given that he erased what he could of Anakin Skywalker's legacy without raising the Emperor's suspicion, since he had told Vader to not erase any of it. He definitely erased that symbol, or at least put it in the extremely restricted category, because the only people who knew that symbol fought in the Clone Wars or had access to restricted material, which means that they fought in the Clone Wars.

However, what was lost on everyone in the Empire, and even a majority of members in the Rebel Alliance, was that the leak of the symbol did the job it was supposed to do. It drew attention away from the Rebel's latest exploit and confused the Empire momentarily so that the Alliance could get a step ahead. Yes, it alerted the Emperor, and the public, that there was a Skywalker on the loose. Yes, it made Luke's job of hiding from the Empire much harder because he still used his actual last name instead of changing it to help him not be found as quickly, but he was already in danger of that anyways because of the tiny fact that he blew up the Death Star.

Leia watched the chaos, pleased with how she orchestrated the blow out. She used the ability to walk unnoticed through the Force to assassinate the Grand General- who supported slavery, murder, and rape/sexual use of girls of a different species- and used Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber to chop his head off, light his clothes on fire to burn his body, and to carve the symbol into the wall behind the man. She then lead the media to the location of the crime scene using Force suggestions. They got there just in time to get pictures before the Investigators started tearing down the crime scene to keep the symbol from the Emperor and the public. Leia, as well as Luke, suspect that the Investigators were under the orders of their biological father to keep the truth under wraps.

It was 5 days after the release of the symbol of Skywalker that Mon Mothma ordered a secret meeting between the top of the top in the Alliance, which included Leia, over the subject of Luke Skywalker himself. Leia let Luke listen to the meeting through their twin connection that Qui-Gon Jinn showed them how to use, given that he didn't interrupt the meeting physically. He would be in so much trouble if he did it anyways.

"This meeting is an anomaly, I know," Mon said as she started the meeting of maybe 20 people (Most likely less, Leia thought). "But the subject is one that we've been ignoring for some time, especially since Luke Skywalker came back from his time with the Jedi Master Yoda. There are five people in this galaxy that know the full truth of the Skywalker family at this time, and two of them are in this room."

'So Mon is planning on sharing the secret of us being twins?' Luke's thought came to her.

'No. She didn't ask me if she could do that. I thought that I told you what this meeting would be about.' Leia responded irritably (She'd had a rough week).

Mon Mothma continued, unaware of the mental conversation between the twins. "It is well known within the Alliance that Luke Skywalker is the son of Anakin Skywalker, and that Obi-Wan Kennobi told young Luke that Vader betrayed and murdered his father. What is not told is that General Kennobi visited young Skywalker in a dream a few days after the Battle of Yavin to apologize for telling him that his father was dead. Luke told Leia Organa and Han Solo what the late Jedi told him about his father, and they just recently came to me with the truth in light of the recent events"

'It really sounds like she'll give out the full truth, Leia.' Luke sounded worried.

'Why does that make you nervous, Luke?'

'Because of you, honestly. Can you stop her at all?'

His answer wasn't really an answer, but Leia understood that it meant he wasn't concerned for himself at all. However, she couldn't answer him before Mothma continued.

"Anakin Skywalker had twins and Fell into the Dark Side of the Force, becoming Darth Vader. The other twin will remain anonymous unless they wish to be known to the 15 of us"

'I was right! There are less than 20 people in this room!' Leia triumphantly exclaimed mentally.

'I guess now it's my turn to ask you to Focus Leia. Pay attention to the other people in the room.'

"This means that Luke and his twin are behind all that is going on in the galaxy at the moment. The twins of Skywalker are using his symbol to mark that they are displeased with the state of the galaxy and are disrupting the Empire with the assassinations and the seemingly random pranks."

Here Mothma paused to let the other people in the room catch up with what she was saying, and Leia knew that it was a bad idea to do so. The reason why is because even 15 people can make a lot of noise when startled or confused, which makes it harder to reign them in so they can continue on with the meeting, which is exactly was happened after Mon Mothma paused for only a second. Leia made her mind up in that second that she was going to reveal herself as the twin of Luke Skywalker, so that she could give a more detailed report to the Council about what they were planning to do. Luke agreed with her one second after she conveyed what she wanted to do and for what reason.

'The more people who know at this point, the better. They might also be able to help us do what we need to do.'

'I agree.'

Using the Force, Leia made a small bubble of air above her expand rapidly and give off the sound of a small thunder crash, silencing everyone in the room almost immediately.

"I have permission from the twin of Luke Skywalker to tell you her identity." Leia said, her voice carrying in the small conference room that the 15 of them were in.

With the room almost entirely silent, she carried on, drawing encouragement from her brother. "The twin of Skywalker is in this room with us today, and it has been she who has been carrying out the assassinations while her brother takes care of the pranks." Ignoring the faces of 13, she faced Mon Mothma and spoke to her, knowing that she already knew. "I am the twin of Luke Skywalker, daughter of Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader. And I tell you this today to ask for your help to bring down the Empire that has broken my family."

Unlike the last time there was a pause, the room stayed silent, an echo of how Mon Mothma herself responded when the twins told her the truth so that they could go see Yoda together. Mothma was smiling this time, and Leia took comfort in the fact that she, at least, wouldn't question her loyalty to the Rebellion.

Luke knew something that Leia didn't, which is rare. Luke knew that no one in the room questioned her loyalty because of her last sentence. She wasn't asking for justice. She was asking for personal retribution, and no one who wants personal retribution would help the side they want destroyed in anyway, shape, or form. Anyone who does doesn't actually want retribution. But Leia has the fire so common to many in her eyes as she asks for assistance that no one could doubt her. It's why she's the People's Princess, not just the Princess of the Dead World.
