Chapter number two. I wanted to keep Leia in and alive and I am going to do a side plot with her and Vader. Also this story is going to be mostly centered on Luke and Mara Jade (hopefully, unless I take it into a different direction. Don't know, not that far yet. We'll see.) With one of them being the main character in a chapter.
Chapter 2: Emperor, Son, Daughter…
Darth Ravan stood at Vader's old place aboard the bridge of the super star destroyer Executor. He awaited news from Admiral Piett on a blood test from Leia Organa. The DNA techs as they were called seemed to have found a significant difference in Leia's blood records from those of Bail Organa's. It was all an accident of how they discovered this. Blood samples are taken of each prisoner. Bail Organa's was taken and recorded by the same man who recorded Leia's, luckily he had a good memory and thought it was weird that Leia and Bail had different blood types. They further expanded on this and discovered Leia was not actually related, biologically, to Bail at all. They were now entering her DNA code into the Imperial data base to find a match.
Ravan felt Admiral Piett's presence enter the bridge, he turned as the Admiral walked over the crew pit and came to him, bowing when he got there.
"Milord," Piett said. "We have the results from the database back and…"
"And?" Ravan asked irritated.
"We may want to speak of this somewhere more private."
"Alright." Ravan said, not quite seeing Piett's angle. He followed the Admiral off the bridge and both walked into the nearest turbo lift to talk, not actually going up or down.
"Yes, what are the results?" Ravan asked eagerly.
"We entered Leia's DNA makeup in the Imperial database. It is closely related with only two other recorded specimens. It closely resembles… Emperor Vader's… and your own."
Ravan felt as though he had just been slapped in the face, repeatedly. Leia was related to him, was he so blind as to not see that? Was Vader that blind, was the old Emperor that blind? This worried him. He looked at Piett and tried to speak but found he could not. He tried once more and finally his voice came to him in a horse whisper.
"Ours? She… she's related to us?" Ravan croaked. "Do you know the… extent?"
"Her genetic makeup is so close to yours milord, and her age is within a minute of yours as well from what we could determine. We believe you are related, twins…."
"TWINS! She is my sister?" Ravan asked in shock. How could he not see that? How could he not have even felt a similarity?
"It would seem so."
"Who knows about this?"
"You, myself, Emperor Vader, and the DNA tech that preformed the match test."
"Kill him. Kill anyone he has talked to after he did the test. Word cannot get out."
"As you wish milord."
"Do it subtly Admiral. Make it look like an accident, an experiment that exploded or something."
"I will milord."
"I have to go contact my father."
XxX
"I know Lord Ravan!" Vader finally snapped after Ravan continued talking away about Leia. Admiral Piett had already alerted him as well as killed the DNA techs personally. Ravan looked down, and then up at his father's hologram.
"What should we do? Kill her?"
"Not if we can help it. She knows nothing yet, correct?"
"Nothing father."
Vader paced in and out of the hologram a few times, clearly in deep thought, Ravan was silent, and the only sound was the slight hum of the hologram and Vader's breathing. Finally he came back into focus.
"If she is truly your sister perhaps we should try to turn her, she can undoubtedly use the Force."
"After what we let Sidious do to Bail? I think she might be about ready to kill us."
"It would be suicide, think rationally Ravan. She would not attempt to kill us. She would have no weapon. Instead the first chance she had she would try and escape and form a new Rebel Alliance." Vader said. "There must be no cause of suspicion within the crew. I trust Admiral Piett to follow our orders. Leave your post, bring the Executor to Coruscant and bring Leia before me."
"But father, we have to guard Death Star II, it is operational but only three fourths of the way completed, the reactor is still exposed. What if the three transports of rebels that escaped the Yavin IV assault make a last ditch effort to sabotage?"
"Then the rest of my fleet shoots them. Bring Leia to me."
Ravan could see no point in further arguing with his father. He nodded and bowed as the hologram faded into nothingness.
Sorry this chapter is so short.
