Chapter Thirteen: Brother

Luke Skywalker slid through the dark hallways of the Jedi Temple, searching for the one thing he needed before he headed towards Mustafar – a lightsaber. He didn't have a clue as to where Anakin had put his old one, and so now he was forced to wonder the Jedi Temple looking for a spare. He finally decided that if he found the practice rooms, he would find an extra weapon lying around there somewhere.

Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks as he realized he was not alone in the dark corridor. Luke quickly hid behind a nearby pillar, and shielded his Force presence the best that he could. The last thing he needed was to be caught sneaking around the Temple at night. The Jedi wouldn't understand; even if his father was in danger.

"Who's there?" demanded a voice that sounded strangely like one of a kid. Whoever it was, they weren't very old. Luke felt a grin spread across his face; he finally found his lightsaber. All too easy.

Before the kid could say anything else, Luke leaped out from his hiding place and had the young Jedi on the ground in just the blink of an eye. Luke's eyes grew wide as he recognized the kid not to be a kid, but a teenager. The boy called Jack that Luke had accidentally slammed into a wall earlier that very same month.

"I'm sorry, really," said Luke, before he used the Force to knock out Jack once again. Luke unclipped Jack's lightsaber from his belt and wasted no time igniting. A glowing blue blade appeared with the traditional snap-hiss.

"Perfect," he said, and then switched the weapon off. Luke attached the saber to his own belt before heading back in the same direction he came from.

Now all he needed was to find a ship.

Anakin Skywalker jumped from his ship onto the black dirt which covered the planet of Mustafar. He paused for just a moment, taking in the sights of the volcanic world. With all the fire and lava everywhere, Mustafar was almost as hot as Tatooine. Almost, but not quite.

Mustafar gave off an eerie feeling through the Force. Anakin didn't know what it was, but he didn't like it. Something about Mustafar did remind Anakin of thirteen years ago, when he almost became Vader. Perhaps he should have listened to Etha after all, or perhaps he should have learned to think about things first, like Obi-Wan was always telling him.

"I knew you'd come."

Anakin snapped his head in the other direction to see that the unnaturally cold voice came from Ahsoka. He frowned at her. Ahsoka wasn't the same. There wasn't even a hint of light in her Force presence.

"What happened to you, Ahsoka?" Anakin asked, feeling both sad and angry.

"My Master sent me on suicide mission just so he can send more time with that brat son of his," she hissed at him.

"What? That's what you think?" Anakin couldn't even believe it. "You know that's not true."

"You were never going to ask them to make me a Master!" Ahsoka accused.

"And you think this will help?" Anakin pressed, beginning to feel more angry than sad. He was starting to believe Ahsoka's turn to the dark side was only because she was too impatient to wait to be promoted. That was completely ridiculous. "You can't become a Sith just because you haven't been made a Master."

Ahsoka glared at him. "We didn't lure you here to talk about Jedi matters."

"Then, what? What do you want?"

"Firstly, my new Master knew he had to get you away from the brat," Ahsoka said, jealousy laced in her voice. "And he knows I'm the only one who can convince you to accept your destiny. Better late than never."

It was Anakin's turn to glare. Ahsoka was just a distraction to get him away from Luke. He should have known, at least he was smart enough to get Etha to guard him.

"You were supposed to be great," Ahsoka continued. "You were going to be the Emperor's great enforcer, Darth Vader."

"No, you're wrong, Ahsoka," Anakin replied strongly, "I was never supposed to be anything."

Anakin was just about tired of people talking about this Vader, who was nothing more than Palpatine's greatest failure. Why was all this Vader stuff coming back? And how did everyone suddenly know about it? That Sith Lord had to be around Palpatine. More than that, he had to be working for Palpatine.

"You let the Sith get inside your head," Anakin shook his head. He had hoped that there would be at least confusion in his former apprentice, but he couldn't feel any.

"You're close minded, and brainwashed just like the rest of them," she spat. "The truth has freed me from the Jedi!"

"No, you're wrong, again," Anakin repeated. "It's the opposite. You're headed for a lifetime of slavery if you continue down the path you're on now. Ahsoka, it's not too late. Come back with me, I'll explain things to the Council."

Without any hesitation, she said, "we both know that isn't going to happen. There's no coming back from the dark side, remember?"

Anakin wanted to tell her that Luke did, but he didn't dare to bring up his son's name. He seemed to be a source of hatred and jealousy for Ahsoka. Something that idiot Lord Fintous had been feeding on. It made Anakin a little angry. The Sith couldn't touch Luke now, but he sure could still use him for his own benefit.

Ahsoka ignited her new ruby red lightsaber without any warning to Anakin she would do so. "Well if you're not with me, then you're against me."

"I don't want to fight you," said Anakin, honestly and sincerely though he kept his hand on the hilt of his lightsaber. Anakin wasn't taking any chances; he had too much to lose.

"Then I will kill you," she said.

With much regret, Anakin ignited his own saber and said, "You will try."

Luke felt a sense of accomplishment once he finally reached the hanger. He had actually escaped the great Jedi Temple. Granted, it wasn't for the reasons Luke thought it would be, but he still escaped. It was still worth something.

"Hello, Luke," said Gage, stepping out of the shadows.

"Gage," Luke greeted back, in a less than friendly tone.

"Don't you know you should have stayed in bed?" Gage asked, "just like your dumb father should have stayed on the planet."

Luke's heart dropped at the mention of Anakin. He really needed to get to Mustafar to stop the future from happening, but it was unlikely that Gage would simply let him leave the Coruscant alive. There would have to be a fight. He bravely unattached his new lightsaber from his belt, and ignited it.

"This is a new side of you," taunted Gage, "what all this time spent with your new family suddenly make you a better swordsman."

"Fight me or move out of my way," Luke said in a low voice, unlike his normal voice.

Gage smiled maliciously, and in the blink of an eye, his red saber glowed in the midnight black of Coruscant.

Leia Skywalker looked down into the big blue eyes of her new, healthy baby brother. He might have been born early, but the newest Skywalker seemed as strong as ever. Even Leia's mother was doing okay.

"Mom, what is his name going to be?" Leia asked. She put her brother back into her mother's arms.

"I think we should wait for your father to name him," Padme said.

Leia could tell that her mother was sad Anakin had missed the birth of his second son. Leia was sad to. She just hoped that both of the missing Skywalkers were okay.

A/N: …what do you think?

Also, I really don't know what to name baby boy Skywalker, so I will let you vote on it!

Here are the three names: Aydan, Gavin, or Hayden.

I might take suggestions if anyone has something better.

Please vote, or suggest!
