Also missed a point in my last author's note, Vader's voice will sometimes be spoken and force thought because there's much more feeling in his actual voice that's only inside his head that he couldn't be able to convey through his mechanical iconic yetmechanical
James Earl Jones voice so keep that in mind.

The ship flew away carefully towards the west, away from the northern Ewok settlement. Leia moved numbly as she changed the coordinates Han had engaged the ship in. She should of left Endor, reached Naboo and started her training, she knew that but the diplomat inside
/her had ceased for her lost brother— she wouldn't, she couldn't leave Luke. He was gone... Yes, for the will of the force had called him but she couldn't leave the vessel that had held his true being all this time.

Leia landed the ship north of the imperial base and called for Obi-wan Kenobi through the force, not long after the man's spectra appeared.

"Hello, Princess Leia."

"Master Kenobi! I wish to train."

The old man frowned,

"You have not yet left for Naboo."

Leia straightened in her pilots seat,

"I have unfinished business here still."

"You can not win against Vader."

Leia closed her eyes and noded,

"I know ,Master Kenobi... But I-"

"You will do what you must."

"Yes."

"You are our very last hope, the galaxy's last hope."

The frown softened and the creases in the old mans forehead lightened,

"Close your eyes, feel the force, it moves in the ground below you and through the stars above you."

Leia's eyes shut in attempt to concentrate, she pushed away all the memories and thoughts that haunted her. Words spoken wished away and words never spoken lingered as she tried to evaporate the haunting thoughts.

"Too harshly done, that is. Find peace... Serenity."

Leia's eyes sprung open to find the small figure beside Obi-wan,

"I can't seem to focus... There's too much- "

"Distracted, you are. Your mind, elsewhere it is... With your brother, and the settlement."

The strange figure seemed to hum in thought before Leia took a step forward,

"What if they don't make it out in time?"

The creature's eyes opened and looked at her unbothered,

"Faith in your companion, you must have."

Leia thought a while looking at the wise Jedi master and took a seat on the ships tiles before nodding sturnly,

"Han is fully capable."

Leia exhaled and closed her eyes, slowly letting every taunt slowly drift away as she focused.

"You must protect your mind... Focus on surrounding it with impenetrable walls. Everything and everyone you care for are all in your mind, if your enemy-"

Obi-wan's voice was pulled away from Leia's mind before Luke's memories were called forward, his duels and training, his life all flashing in her mind before abruptly stopping.

Leia's eyes opened to reveal the brown she'd inherited had turned a terrifying yellow. The blue ghosts were fading fast before her own memories of tranquility embraced Leia and only Obi-wan remained.

"Remember who you are, this is not an act of revenge but of justice, daughter of Organa."

The name immediately struck through Leia as she composed herself but still her hands trembled at her side,

"He believed to the very end... That there was good, that there was light where a shadow's been permanently cast. That monster let him die before his very eyes."

Again the specter began to fade but refused to as his aura focused on calming Leia.

"You called forth your brother but only mangaged to retrieve his memories, your reaction is quite contrary to his..."

A soothing aura surrounded Leia and along with Obi-wans efforts she finally found a sense of peace.

"You must remember, 'There is no passion, there is only serenity. There is no death, only the force.'"

Leia hiked through the eastern part of the forest in search of the lake Vader had indicated. Hours had passed and night was drawing closer now, before she could find the lake a ship flew close by and she heard it land not far off.

The chill ran down Leia's spine as she immediately recognized the unmistakable presence, Darth Vader.

Leaves were scattered as she neared the place where she heard the sound, and a sleek black ship severed her sight to a lake, but the brilliant sound of water and feel of life were not dulled. The sound of the infamous respirator seemed to rid nature of
/it's splendor as she circled around the ship.

A capsule moved softly floating inches above the ground at the command of the masked man in black.

"So you've come, Leia."

The dark presence seemed oddly familiar as she noted how obscene her name sounded spoken by the imperialist caped man. Her hand tightened against her blaster as she took a last step forward,

"My brother?"

The capsule stopped moving then and laid still between them. Leia moved slowly towards the capsule, keeping her eyes on Vader. The glass reflected the setting sun's light as she neared closer. She quickly glanced inside the capsule and before she could
/look away she was drawn to it once more; the endless wait seemed to be over.

Leia felt emotions she'd rid herself of for a long time come sweeping back as she stared at Luke's peaceful face. Her parents, Alderaan had all suffered the same fate as Luke and she'd not let herself grief but a minute until now. In Luke, she finally
/found something she could mourn to, something that wouldn't mock her with complete inexistence. She bittersweetly admired her lost brother's face before regretting she'd never see the lively blue in his eyes again. Her hands fell limply at her side
/and she moved one hand to the glass a top the capsule.

A single tear rolled down her face onto the glass and into the ground before Leia realized she was still in presence of Vader. She composed herself and set a stone like expression,

"I have come alone, as you requested. Now I will be on my way with his remains."

Vader moved around the capsule towards Leia, making her stiffen where she stood and raise her chin in defiance,

"No, Leia. Join me. I will teach you the dark side."

Leia looked shocked at shadowed figure that was somehow emulating with hope but still unmoved darkness. Her features twisted in disgust as she spoke coldly,

"I serve justice and democracy, I will not be a part of your twisted vision. "

The voice seemed to struggle to weaken but the filter made it impossible,

"Don't make me kill you."

Vader made a swift movement of his fingers, now closing in on Leia while she searched for the blaster that was flying through the air into the water. Leia refused to move away from the capsule as one hand rested over the glass still. Vader was not even
/a step away now and suddenly Luke's body vanished, leaving nothing but cloths. The capsule, sensing no mass with it opened, making Leia fall into it on her side.

Take it Leia.

Leia looked around quickly in search of the one who had called to her, as Vader gestured her throat to constrict.

Take what?

"Luke...?"

Leia felt her lungs deprived of air and struggled against the inside of the capsule, suddenly something shimmered against the light of the moon and Leia extended her hand out to it. Luke's lightsabre.

Leia's hands trembled as she attempted to hold the ancient weapon. Her fingers wrapped around the sabre tightly while she struggled to get up. The switched on the sabre and it buzzed with light, she picked it up and moved it blindly behind her before
/she heard a cry of pain and her throat was released.

Leia stumbled to erect herself as she caught we her breath and moved away from Darth Vader. She fell to the floor and watched Vader struggle to stand on his own as his breathing grew harsher than ever,

"I will not be as forgiving as Luke. I recognize you for what you truly are Vader."

Leia knew she could end it all there as she got up but something pushed her away and screamed at her to turn back. Before Leia could give into the sinister voice inside her a noise nearby brought her back and urged her to leave the imperial commander
/behind.

••••Author's Note••••

So very sorry about not updating in a while but I think this relatively long chapter makes up for it! :)

I've been in the middle of exams and projects so that's what's been killing me and sort of taking away my time from FanFiction. Also I had intense writers block, you have no idea. I didn't want to change Leia's personality or even Darth Vaders for that
/matter (though he's a pretty unstable character) but I hope you're all happy with this update, please don't forget to review! I'm truly very appreciative for all the reads this has gotten and favorites and follows so thank you thank you so much and
/don't forget you can be part of this story and practically in the writing process by giving me suggestions on scenes or topics you'd like me to take on in this story!

May the force be with you my star geeks!
