Chapter 3
Grandfather
"Hello Grandson"
Luke's eyes widened in shock and horror of the words spoken from the old man, he too was Skywalker just like he and his father. He stepped back a few faces, before his father's hand on his shoulder drove him to a halt.
" No that can not be! Your my Grandfather, that would mean that you are..." He looked to Darth Vader who had been silent, "His father!"
"That would be correct."
Luke was then suddenly hit by the reality of it all, before his could've imagined his father not being evil, that maybe the Emperor had some leverage over he reformed Anakin Skywalker, that there was still good in him, but now...
Anger burned in Luke's heart as he struggled to keep his emotions under check, he had indeed grown in strength but not enough, and now this could make him vulnerable.
"I can sense your hatred young one, come to me, join me, and you can rule the galaxy by mine and your father's side."
"I do not want to rule by your side, I do not wish for power like you do."
"Grandson, your emotions betray you."
"Do not call me by that name, you are evil and wicked, just like him." He nodded his head towards Vader.
"Your foolish and stubborn, just like your father and myself in my youth, but you will soon come to your senses. Guards take him away."
Luke's eyes widened, this was not over, he thought there was only two possible out comes, one he would fall to the darkness like his father, or he would die. He would pick the second option any day, but now his wasn't so sure. What had drawn both his father and grandfather to the darkside? Maybe there was something he wasn't seeing here, maybe there was something more in the darkness than evil and pain.
Two red guards flanked him, but he was not to go willingly. He looked to the dark mask that shielded his father's face from view, he couldn't feel a single emotion coming off him, not even a flicker of anger, sadness... joy.
Luke lunged forward, he raised his hand, and his lightsaber began to rattle on Vader's belt, before unhooking and flying straight into his hands, all taking place in a matter of seconds. He slipped past the grip of the guards which had moved to restrain him... Both hands bound, lightsaber in hand, he charged at the hooded figure.
Vader watch in as his son drew his lightsaber to him, before he could get a hold on the youth's weapon. Then his son had gone for Palpatine, his father. They both thought that by revealing that they were family, that Luke would not attack them, but they had though wrong.
He had to think quick, he grabbed his own lightsaber, and ignited it. He stepped forward and blacked his son's attack. This was just enough time to let Palpatine make his attack. Force lightning bridged the gap between the throne and Luke, Vader stepped out of the way, but Luke was too focused on his father to notice the new assault, he only had time to bring his lightsaber up to meat the volt of energy.
Luke struggled to hold off the surprise attack, and the lack of preparation had left his off balance, and they was nothing he could do to as his lightsaber fell from his hand onto the ground, allowing the blast of lightning to hit him in the chest knocking him straight off his feet. He fell to the floor, his body folded in trying to find the smallest of comfort from the brutal attack.
"Why do you still fight? Your precious rebellion betrayed you. They sent you here, to those you hated, sent you straight into our hands, knowing what was to happen, and you still fight for them, do you still believe that they are your friends?"
Luke struggled against his grandfather's attack, and the pain, gritting his teeth trying not to scream, "Yes" he whispered his voice quite and shaky, but defiance screamed out loud and strong.
The force lightning stopped, Palpatine knew that his grandson would not break today, but just because he was royal blood did not mean that he should not be treated as his proper title stated, a traitor.
"Guards, you may take him now, put him in the highest security cell, if there's someone in it, kill them." The anger blared through his words, for the first time his plans were not going as planned, he did not foresee what would happen in that room, but he still smiled.
The young Skywalker was powerful in the force, even more powerful than he could imagine, he could shield his thoughts well but he still let some slip. He was still defiant, but he was sure that would all change when he heard the truth about his so called friends, he would soon see where his true place was.
Luke did not resist as he was walked, more like dragged, down the corridors towards the maximum security detention centre, he was too weak to resist. They traveled deeper and deeper into the heart of the Palace, through doors that got thicker each time, with more and more entrance codes, along with more and more guards two, then four, then eight, then twenty-four. Through the last metal ally door; nearly three foot thick, with keypad password, hand print, eye scanner, the guards had tripled but there was only one cell, which was guarded by four troopers. The small corridor lined with ten on either side. The walls were white, along with the ceiling and floor which was polished to a shine. Luke took a quick glance around, there was eight cameras, three down the corridor on each side and one above the door to the cell and the one to the rest of the palace, only one exit. Through a corridor mined with stormtroopers and indestructible doors, as much to keep the prisoner in, as to keep intruders out.
One of the guards nodded as the three approached, he stepped aside revealing a control panel, first the code, then finger print, then retinal scanner, Luke focused in on the man, trying to learn the password but he was too fast and Luke was too tired to keep up.
The guard on the side of Luke had spotted his interest in the control panel, trying to remember as much as he could. "There are only three people in this whole galaxy who know the access code to that cell, The Emperor Darth Vader, and that guard, well I guess he's more robotic than human. Nearly half of the guards down here are."
"Thanks for the information." Luke replied a smile appearing on his face.
"The guards with the pins at each door are cyborgs, they have been programmed so that they can not repeat the password to anyone, not even the Emperor and Vader." He added.
"Er thanks, but why are you telling me this?"
"Let you know that you can not escape, and there's only two ways you come out of here, dead or loyal to the Emperor."
"Guess it's death then." Luke weakly laughed. The cell door finally swooshed open, but all that could be seen was darkness. The guards marched him on into the unknown.
The change from bright white to almost pitch black stunned Luke. All the surfaces were black, there was no other source of light than a red square on the floor. Luke reached out into the force, but retracted back when all he felt was darkness, there was light here but not enough that could be reached without touching darkness first.
The guards walked Luke over to the centre of the red square.
"Turn" Luke compiled turning almost afraid of the white light that was sure to blind him as he did so, but found the cell door shut.
"On your knees." He hesitated at the command, but eventually complied trying to save up his strength for the future.
He sat there on his knees as the cuff were removed, then his arms drawn to hiss sides, one single cuff was placed around each, he suddenly felt something leave him, but he did not move as the same was applied around his ankles. Then horror raced through his as he felt the presence of the force from within him almost vanish. He moved his hands and found them attached to a piece of thin wire attached to the floor at each corner of the square, one for each cuff.
The guard noticed Luke's shocked face and let out a small laugh, "Those are stunned cuffs, but these will also separate you from the force, but not too much, the Emperor still wants you to be able to tough the force." The guard stepped out of the square, then pulled a remote from his pocket, he pressed a button on the remote.
Suddenly, red transparent walls surrounded Luke in the shape of the red square on the floor, it gave off a small hum as energy surged through it. It gave a small amount of light to the darkness, now Luke could see a guard in all four corners of the room, there black amour camouflaging them into the walls. "That is a force cage, just in case you do try anything."
The guard walked through the door which shut as quickley seconds after the gurds stepped over the line between white and black, Luke could hear it lock before he was left in silent darkness, alone with only his thoughts.
His mind went back to his grandfather, no, The Emperor. He had not taken much note in conversation, he was too busy trying to fight the pain, but he still remembered a small phrase ' They sent you here, to those you hated, sent you straight into our hands, knowing what was to happen'.
What did that mean, Knowing what was to happen? Luke almost mentally gasped as he saw the truth within the letters, he didn't mean that they...
