A.N I do not own Star Wars
Leaving the medical center was exactly what Leia wanted. Who could blame her? She was stuck there with a life threatening disease. However, leaving the medical center also meant beginning her life as an Imp. Vader had her tabs, file, and discharge instructions in his hands. He has Doctor Ulo, the ship's chief of medicine in contact with Doctor Veeru in the medical center to form Leia's treatment plan.
Leia strapped in to her father's shuttle and he took off for the ship. When they arrived in Vader's private hanger, she could feel the stares from younger officers. Vader just smirked because Leia had nothing to worry about. He knew he was risking being called "The Galaxy's Most Overprotective Father" but it would be the truth.
"Leia, relax. They know they can't try anything with you. They would risk being thrown out of the Navy."
Vader had to stop by the medbay with the file from Leia's medical center stay. Doctor Ulo saw the younger woman with long dark hair. He had a feeling he knew who this was.
"Your daughter, Milord?"
"Yes"
The Doctor could see that the young woman in front of him looks like she has been sick recently. Leia looked pale (she had regained color, not much), she had dark circles under her eyes, and she had lost weight .
"I want her down here at 0900 tomorrow for her first follow up. Trust me, I am better than any Rebellion doctor."
That was when Leia revealed something shocking. "What are you talking about? There are no doctors within the Rebellion. If you get sick or injured, you see either a medic or a medical droid."
That was when Doctor Ulo asked her another question. "Was it by design or are they too lazy, Milady?"
"As far as I know it is both. They don't want to pay out the credits needed for a doctor, the credits can be spent elsewhere. That is what I heard Mon Mothma say once. It's also by design. If you don't have a doctor within your ranks, it will enable the Rebellion to hide better."
Vader was glad that Leia was being forced to defect. They soon left the medbay to head to Vader's private wing of the ship. Leia was going to be forced to rest since she is not cleared for flying. While he would love to begin her training as a Sith apprentice, the amount of stress that is involved in initiating Leia could cause Leia to relapse and that is something he is not willing to risk.
Leia was put into another healing trance. The ones he has done on Leia are nothing like what the Jedi would have used. These ones are much stronger and have brought Sith back from what would have been fatal injuries and catastrophic illnesses. The fact Sidious was too arrogant not to use any shows what a fool he was. What Vader did while Leia was in a healing trance is perform the master - apprentice bond and cut her off from the light side of the force. This would make initiating her as a Sith apprentice much easier.
While Leia was being forced to rest, Vader caught up on work which surprisingly wasn't that much. That is because he worked with Grand Moff Ehlers for a plan when Palpatine goes. Ehlers is the only Moff he has any respect for. That is because like Vader, he was a former slave himself. He was kidnaped on the outer rim and brought to Coruscant to be a servant to Senator Kalvyl. When Kalvyl was caught, Ehlers was put into foster care. From there his foster family enrolled him in the Republic Military Preparatory Academy before being trained at the Military Academy of the Republic. Ehlers rose to fame during the Clone Wars for his impeccable intelligence work. He also has forced Sidious' hand in prosecuting many of the Moffs for their extreme corruption.
While Leia was resting, Mon Mothma had finally arrived on Coruscant. Given how high the bounty was on her, Emperor Ehlers was notified and he decided to interrogate her himself. He knew about Lord Vader being married to Padme Amidala for three years and her being kidnaped by Kenobi right before their unborn child was born.
Ehlers was not a fan of interrogation droids or torturing. His instructors at the academy always said using those methods is a sign of a weak interrogator. It also produces poor intel. People will say whatever the interrogator wants just to make them stop.
"Well, well if it isn't the disgraced Mon Mothma."
"I'm not telling you anything Ehlers."
Ehlers had Mothma in shackles while he took a seat. "You see, I think you should. Besides the terrorism charges, treason, assassination of Emperor Palpatine, attempted murder of an Imperial official's child, you are also being charged with the aiding and abetting in the kidnaping of an Imperial official's child as well. I know it was you who targeted children to join the Rebellion, especially the most vulnerable within the Empire."
Mon was pissed and when she is pissed, she says stupid shavit. "Lieutenant Commander Skywalker had to pay for her mother's sins. It's Amidala's fault for the rise of Palpatine. So what if the people of Naboo got infected with the virus. They deserve it. It was better to lose one good pilot than to let this war continue."
Ehlers now understood why Vader didn't like Mothma. She is more deranged than some of the most corrupt Moffs. "Mothma, either way you are going to be sentenced to death. When and how will be left up to Lord Vader. Your planet will be put under Imperial control. The only charges that you could have possibly have gotten out of seeing Lady Skywalker handed over to her mother's family. She is completely innocent and is not responsible for the actions of her parents."
He left the interrogation chamber and went to holo conference Lord Vader.
"Milord, Mon Mothma is in Imperial Custody on Coruscant. What do you wish to do to her?"
"The Executor is en route to Coruscant. We will be there in a few more days. She will live until I get there."
"Very well"
He knew what it meant, Vader wants to kill her himself.
Back on the ship, Vader could sense Leia waking up. He sent one of the medical droids in with her tabs and some water and ordered some food from the mess hall. Doctor Veeru said she needed to be on a bland diet for a few more days so he wasn't going to force it.
Leia woke up and saw a medical droid come in. "I am RX-86, Mistress Leia. Your father sent me in with your tabs. I need to record your vitals."
She sat up and let the droid do it's examination before swallowing the small cup of tabs. The next was a bowl of soup and some tea from the kitchen droid. Leia saw her father come in.
"You will be happy, Mon Mothma is in Imperial custody on Coruscant."
Leia was sinfully gleeful over it. Vader could see his handy work has already had an effect on his daughter. The Darkside is already calling her. He could see bright yellow flecks in Leia's eyes.
"I hope Mom is haunting her. There won't be a trial?"
"There will be but it will be done by a secret military tribunal. The last thing anyone needs is the Rebellion to interfere. She's living on borrowed time. I think you are right, my daughter. Your mother would be tormenting Mothma for what she did to you and her home planet."
Leia and Vader were correct. The tribunal would be taking place in twentyfour hundred standard hours with the top military judges. Mothma was transfered to a prisioner cell for trial and would spend the night there. Pamde appeared again.
"Don't expect anyone to come and save you Mon. The Rebellion is done with you. Ehlers is correct, the only charge you could have gotten out of was ensuring that Leia was handed over to my parents and sister. You have no one to blame but yourself. History will not remember you for all the good that you did during the Republic. What they will remember you for is your crimes. How you sought revenge on a former colleague's daughter. How you took part in her kidnaping. How you tormented one of the Rebellion's best starfighter pilots. How you commited mass genocide. Yes, the Death Star needed to be destroyed but not at the expense of killing a million soldiers. Even worse is contaminating Leia's oxygen tanks just so she could infect the people of Naboo just to take out Palpatine."
Padme vanished again. If she had been alive, she would have been first in line with Anakin's lightsaber. The lightsaber would be to cut Mon down.
