Chapter 2

The rebel ship was only in a matter of minutes full of thousands of stormtroopers, and all the rebels was faster then expected captured by them. Soon the stormtroopers reached the briefing room and everyone in it was stripped of their blasters. Everyone gave away their weapons except Luke, because the stormtroopers didn't know that the piece of metal hanging from his side was dangerous.

Leia looked around as her friends and fellow rebels were secured, but her eyes suddenly went to Luke as he felt him tense beside her.

"Luke, what's wrong?" As she asked everyone turned their attention towards him, however before he could answer the found the reason to why he was so tense when the sound of a mechanical breathing filled the briefing room. Vader had arrived.

As he entered the room Luke stood up, and he and Vader starred at each other, like they were talking without words. Vader suddenly spoke, but it wasn't to Luke, it was directed to the troopers.

"Why haven't you disarmed this man?"

Even though the troopers wore masks you could see that they were worried. One of them answered him then.

"But he - he didn't have a blaster…" He stuttered.

"Blasters aren't the only weapon a person can have."

The tension was rising, and the troopers didn't know what to say, but after a few seconds they didn't have to worry anymore, because Luke spoke up for the first time.

"I don't think you need to blame them, after all they don't know that this," Luke remove his lightsaber from his belt. "…is a lightsaber."

Luke threw it hard towards Vader who caught it easily, he was after all a dark lord of the Sith. When the room once again was filled with silence Vader continued, as him at the same time inspected the lightsaber.

"I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Tell me, where you learn how to do that." It was clear that Vader was fishing for information about the person how had trained Luke. But Luke's answer disappointed him.

"I found instructions in the house were Ben lived on Tatooine, they were pretty simple to follow."

"You mean where Obi-wan were hiding for nineteen years?"

"Yes, although I don't think you have the right to call him by his first name after what you did, so it's Jedi Master or General Kenobi to you." He stunned everyone by saying that, no one was allowed to speak to Vader like that. But Vader just snorted.

"I guess your right; after all I did kill him."

Luke tensed visually, and only nodded in agreement. Vader decided to change to subject, to something he knew would surprise everyone in the room, including Luke.

"I want to thank you Luke, for letting me know were the rebel fleet was hiding."

Everyone gasped and turned towards Luke with betrayal in the eyes. Luke just looked shocked. "What?"

Vader continued. "Not on purpose of course, but you let you shields slip so that I could read your mind and find out where you were."

Luke cursed himself silently. 'How could I have been so stupid?' He must have slipped when Yoda died; he knew that he had been upset and that it was possible that he had let his shields slip.

Vader saw Luke tense and smiled under his mask. He would have loved to go on baiting Luke, but he didn't have the time at the moment. He Had to get down to business.

"Have you thought about the offer I gave you last time we met?"

"I thought I gave a clear answer to that on Bespin." Luke snapped back.

Vader had expected that answer so he just continued. He had Luke exactly where he wanted him.

"Have you told your friends about our discussion? What did they have to say about what I told you on Bespin?"

A look of guilt crossed over Luke's face, confirming Vader's assumptions. Luke hadn't told anyone that he was his father.

"Ah, so you haven't told them, and I thought that they were your friends. Do you often lie to your friends?"

Everyone was now starring at Luke waiting for him to deny Vader's accusations, and he didn't disappoint them.

"I didn't lie, I didn't tell them because I didn't want to accept it myself. I've just a day ago accepted it, and was planning on telling them as soon as possible. I would never betray my friends, unlike you."

"So, you have accepted the truth." You could hear in his voice that he was very content with Luke's confession.

"From a certain point of view, yes." Luke answer, remembering what Ben had said to him on Dagobah.

"There is only one point of view to see this from, either you accept the things I told you or you don't. It's that simple."

Luke took a deep breath to gather strange for what he was going to say. He didn't know how his friends were going to react to the truth, but he felt that now was the time to reveal what Vader had told him on Bespin.

"I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker…my father."

Gasps could be heard from every part of the room after Luke's statement.

"Father?" It was Leia's voice that cut into Luke the most, the disgust in her voice would have been enough for Luke to understand that this wasn't going to be easy for him.

The second reaction Luke noticed was Vader's. He could feel the anger in him as he stared at Luke.

"That name no longer has any mean for me." Vader snapped back.

Now it was Luke's turn to question Vader.

"I not so sure about that. Because if you are Vader, and only Vader, then how come you don't kill me on Bespin when you had the chance? Instead of killing me you tried to make me join you. Is that the way a Sith Lord should act?"

Now Vader had had enough, and voice got very angry.

"You do not question me; I'm in charge here not you. I don't have time to stand here and argue with you, the emperor is expecting us in the throne room. You're coming with me, now." He motioned to the troopers and the quickly cuffed Luke and pushed him towards Vader.

They had left the room before anyone had a chance to speak, and they headed towards the waiting emperor.

When Luke had left the room all the rebels in it were also moved over to the Death Star, and they were put in a large cell together. They were about 40 people, so they needed a large cell so that everyone could fit in. No one spoke after the door was closed behind them, they simply didn't know what to say. But there was only one thing that lingered on their minds, and that was what Luke had revealed a short while ago. They all had the same question in their heads, but no one wanted to ask it out load. Finally Lando dared to speak that question.

"Do you think Luke betrayed us? That his has been playing us all along?"

Even though everyone had asked themselves that question no one had an answer to it. Could the hero of the rebellion really be a traitor?

"What do you think Han and Leia? You two are the ones who know him best." It was Mon Mothma who asked the question.

Both Han and Leia stayed quite, for a few seconds, they didn't know the answer. And that was exactly what Leia said when she answered.

"The Luke I know wouldn't betray us, but lately he's been acting weird, he has not been himself. It's almost has been like he feels guilty of something."

"Perhaps he feels guilty of betraying us. And don't forget that he's Vader's son, which makes him even guiltier."

"I don't think we should judge him because he's Vader son, I don't think Luke wants to have Vader as his father." Han said, entering the conversation. "And you're talking about Luke Skywalker, the boy, no, the man how blew up the first Death Star and how has sacrificed a lot for the rebellion. I don't think we should label him as a traitor yet."

"We'll find out soon enough. All we can do is wait and see."

"You doubt him all you want, but I will never believe that Luke would betray us." Han continued defending Luke, he didn't want to, couldn't, believe that Luke would side with that madman Vader (A/N: Not very Han-like, I know). This was the Luke he had been friends with for four years, how he had watched grow from a green Tatooine kid into a strong man full of courage. Even though Han never said it he had great respect for the kid, and he knew deep down that Luke would never join Vader.

Luke and Vader walked silently through the Death Star towards the throne room where the emperor was waiting. They were both waiting for the other to speak first, because none of them wanted to speak first. Not until they stepped into the lift that went up to the throne room, Luke finally spoke.

"You don't have to do this, father. You don't have to obey the emperor, help me get the other rebels out and come with us. Become Anakin Skywalker again, because I know he's still somewhere inside you waiting to come out."

"You don't know the power of the dark side, I must obey my master."

But Luke didn't give up just yet.

"I will not turn and you will be forced to kill me."

"If that is your destiny."

"Search your feelings father, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you, let go of your hate."

Vader turned to look at Luke.

"It is too late for me my son, the emperor will show you the true nature of the force, he is your master now."

"Then my father is truly dead." Luke said disappointed as the lift doors opened and revealed the throne room. Luke started to walk towards the throne in which the emperor was waiting, and Vader followed.
