Yavin 4, Rebel Base, 3 weeks later
The Rebel Alliance high command were starting to get very concerned. Bail Organa, who'd just returned from Alderaan in an old shuttle that the Separatists used during the Clone Wars, he came in concern for his young daughter, Leia but he had a very bad dream on his flight back to Yavin.
Bail's dream:
He heard screams, and he ran for the source, he gasped in horror when he saw Darth Vader standing there, goading her to his side.
"You will know true power, my daughter," his deep baritone voice said, pride etched in his voice, to his horror, Leia moved towards him and hugged Vader.
"Yes Father, I will," she replied obediently, Vader hugged her back and he noticed Bail nearby.
"Viceroy, how nice of you to join us," he said smoothly, Bail snarled and charged at Vader.
"Give my daughter back you monster!" he roared angrily, Vader made a sound that was akin to a dark chuckle.
"Ironic that you speak of her like that Senator, also what is more monstrous? Raising my children as weapons against their own father, or killing their mother all the while stealing them and separating them to begin with?" Vader questioned offhandedly, Bail gasped.
"I…It was a stun blast! Not kill!" he refuted, Vader looked at Leia and nodded.
"Leia, kill this traitor and avenge your mother," Vader commanded, Leia raised an eyebrow.
"Father, wouldn't you want the kill more because of that reasoning?" she questioned, Vader nodded.
"I would, but I want you to at least subdue him and leave the rest to me if that makes you more comfortable," he conceded, Leia nodded and approached her adoptive Father and ignited her new lightsaber, the purple blade came to life cutting at Bail's legs just above the knees and cutting his arms off as well, Vader approached, and he was smiling coldly behind his mask.
"Payback is a bitch, isn't it Bail?" Vader quipped darkly as he ignited his sapphire blade and picked him up with the force to take him to where Leia was supposed to be for interrogation about the Rebel's location…
End dream
Bail shuddered involuntarily whenever he thought of dreams like that hit his mind and he held a huge resentment towards both of Leia's biological parents, Vader for obvious reasons and Padmé because she was willing to put the galaxy's only hope at risk for the sake of her raising them and no one else. His commlink beeped, interrupting his musings for the time being as he answered his comm.
"Organa," he said.
"Long time no talk, Father, and you got a lot of explaining to do old man," an all too familiar voice sneered, Bail gasped.
"Leia! Oh Leia, I was so worried, where are you?" he asked, Leia had a fierce glare on her face, but Bail couldn't see it.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked angrily, Bail frowned in confusion.
"Didn't tell you what?" he asked, concerned yet suspicious about her anger.
"About my real parents! They're both alive and they are very angry with both you and General Kenobi for what you did to Mom all those years ago," Leia explained, slightly calmer but still angered, Bail became concerned.
"Does Luke know?" he asked worriedly, he could feel Leia nod her head over the comm.
"He was in tears over the fact that he was lied too, Mom has allowed Grandma and Granddad to spend some time with us and also, General Kenobi has been interrogated for his reasoning as to why he agreed to this, and all he's said was that Dad needed to be killed by one of us, but without explaining why, care to join us on Naboo and explain?" she asked evenly, Bail snorted.
"Why is it such a surprise Leia? Darth Vader is the right hand to the Emperor and is a ruthless fiend, had you known he would've had an easier time turning you to his side," Bail replied, Leia was shaking her head in vehement.
"Oh yeah? If that were the case, then how come whenever I was struggling within the Senate, Dad was always there to give advice? Or, when he expressed his horror at the project Tarkin and Palpatine enjoy so much? Or when he openly said I was very similar to Mom to begin with during my speech to our people a year ago which he said he teared up at watching? Also, if you were a much better father than he is then why does Mom hold such a grudge against you? More to the point why shoot her with a fucking stun blast to begin with?" she questioned angrily, Bail sighed at how she was reacting to the truth.
"This is why we didn't tell you, and watch your language young lady," he replied sternly, Leia chuckled.
"Sorry, but Leia Kira Organa is clinging barely to a thread, you're talking to Leia Anna Skywalker and if you want a chance at getting Leia Organa back, come to Naboo I'm waiting," she replied, and the transmission was cut. Bail glowered angrily at his comm, he'd go to Naboo alright and he'll kill Padmé if he had to and as for Vader, if he was there then he'd use the same strategy he always did (though he always forgot Vader saw right through him) did, with that in mind he bade High Command farewell and set course for Naboo.
Lake Retreat, Naboo
Luke Skywalker looked himself up and down in the mirror of his new bedroom, he'd just finished putting on the Jedi tunics and robes his father had provided for him and he'd been training with him and his Aunt for three weeks and it begun to show. No, he still wasn't getting any taller much to his chagrin, but he could tell a difference between himself from the farm and now Jedi learner on Naboo, he had gained a bit more muscle mass and he'd also grown his hair out a small bit and his parents had organised it the same way they did theirs, long flowing down their backs and Luke's blonde hair was flowing yes, just that it was down to his shoulders not his back. His face was also more obviously chiselled than it was previously, he always had been chiselled but it was more obvious after exposure to Jedi training and he was gaining more and more muscle mass each day, he missed his father though as his father and Han, alongside his sister Leia had gone to destroy the Death Star above Alderaan, he hoped they were okay, he clipped his new lightsaber modelled after his fathers to his belt and went to the training room.
Alderaan System
The Millennium Falcon had just dropped out of hyperspace above Alderaan, the Death Star as menacing looking as it was a few weeks back when Leia was on this thing, though Anakin Skywalker's modified Jedi starfighter was alongside them.
"Han, remember what I told you, steer clear of the tractor beam, the ARC 170s will be here soon, stay out of sight until ordered," Anakin commanded, as he said that the fleet of ARC 170s (Anakin had dubbed them the Knights of the Rebellion) made of clone pilots (all ARC troopers) came out of hyperspace and immediately began following Anakin.
"All knights! On me!" Anakin shouted, there was some static in his earpiece indicating someone wished to speak to him.
"Ready to have some fun General?" one of the troopers asked teasingly, Anakin chuckled.
"I've been waiting for this a long time Lancelot," Anakin replied, this clone was called Lancelot because of his training with swords and spears instead of blasters and based on his performances against many Jedi during the purge he was damn skilled with a sword and Anakin had nicknamed him Lancelot as a result, it stuck with the other clones as well.
"Lock S-foils in attack position," Anakin commanded, all of the ships followed his own fighter before dispersing and attacking the surface in various ways.
"Lancelot, Arthur! Come with me!" Anakin shouted into his comm, there were nods on the other sides.
"Yes General," they replied obediently as they followed Anakin into the trench flanking his fighter while tie fighters were seen from the scanners and the force was informing Anakin and Leia of them now, Leia with her comm in hand shouted.
"Dad! Tie fighters on you and the Knights!"
"I see them sweetheart, no need to worry, Knights! All of you engage ship to ship immediately!" came the crisp, firm reply of her father, however Han had a curious look on his face.
"Knights?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow, Leia smiled.
"Dad explained the name of his personal squadron of fighters was called Knights of the Rebellion because he trained these clones himself in the ways of blasters of course, swords, spears, knives and hell one even knows how to use a lightsaber to the point of a medium level Jedi," she explained, Han nodded.
"That explains the fierce loyalty then," he muttered to himself, suddenly the intercom was blazing.
"Solo! Now I need you, come on!" came Anakin's shout across the comm, Han deftly flew the Falcon around and towards the trench and saw three fighters to Anakin himself, his wingmen had their ships damaged so they had left the fight and the Death Star was readying to fire, that was evident, Han blasted the last few fighters.
"Yahoo! You're all clear boss! Let's blow this thing and go home," he shouted excitedly, Anakin smiled and focused, he used the force to redirect his proton torpedoes and they found their way into the port as he flew up and over alongside the Falcon as the station which was just winding up for attack on Alderaan but it exploded in brilliant flames as Alderaan was saved a second time by Anakin Skywalker in the same month, once from within the Empire and now outside of it.
"Knights, return to Yavin 4 and regroup with the fleet, Solo come back with me to Naboo," Anakin commanded as they all jumped to hyperspace and went their separate ways.
Lake Retreat, Naboo
Bail Organa found a hangar nearby and tried landing with in it but the ray shield that blocked it off kept him from getting in, he snarled and tried again only to hear his intercom beeping, he growled and reluctantly answered it to hear a female voice.
"It's been too long…Father."
Bail jumped as he noticed that Leia was on the Corellian ship that just passed the ray shields, amusement was all over her face.
"Don't worry, you'll be let in soon enough," she said cryptically ending the transmission afterwards, Bail flew into the hangar after the shield was down to find four individuals waiting for him, three humans and a Wookie who looked slightly confused.
"Why are you here Senator Organa?" Chewbacca asked in confusion, Bail stared blankly at the Wookie, not understanding his language.
"He asked what you're doing here old man," the Corellian translated for him, Bail studied him, he was 6'3 in height, he wore a beige vest and a dark waste coat with black trousers and boots, the trousers had Corellian blood stripes on them giving away the man's planet of origin, he had a blaster on his hip and he looked to be about 29/30 in the estimate of Bail.
"I'm not an old man for one, two I came here looking for my daughter," he explained quickly, the smaller of the hooded figures discarded the hood and cloak and Bail gasped in disbelief. It was Leia, her hair fell down her back while everything else made him seethe angrily, she was wearing Jedi robes and had a lightsaber clipped to her belt along with her blasters, and unless he was seeing things there were knives hidden inside her boots and poison gauntlets on her arms. Leia glared angrily at him and took out her lightsaber, igniting the purple blade, then smiled much too sweetly at him.
"Hello there," she greeted sarcastically, Bail stiffened at the sarcasm and lack of fatherly greeting.
"Young lady, I'm taking you home now," he replied strongly, the taller cloaked figure who towered over everyone there except the Wookie, stormed up to Bail and punched him in the face, breaking his nose and jaw, leaving them bleeding but before Bail fell to the floor the figure picked him up and forced Bail to look into the cold, cerulean eyes of Anakin Skywalker, he gasped in disbelief again and was cuffed before being dragged off with Leia, the Corellian and Chewbacca on their tails.
Interrogation room 1
Obi Wan Kenobi couldn't remember the last time he'd been in a cell like this and if you had asked him before today if he'd been imprisoned, he'd say yes but he couldn't remember it and honestly if he could, he'd avoid it because it brought back painful memories of brotherhood, trust, friendship, comradery and a lot of guilt, his cell door opened and he saw Anakin Skywalker standing there with a cuffed Bail Organa, he uncuffed Bail and threw him into the cell before storming off.
"They captured you too?" Bail asked, concerned, Obi Wan nodded and sighed deeply.
"Anakin has known about the twins since they were born Bail," he revealed, Bail's eyes widened.
"How? Why did he never come take them then?" he asked, Obi Wan frowned.
"Our illustrious host had survived our attempt at sacrificing her for the sake of the galaxy and she told him a week after the twins were born," he explained, anger all over his face and both men scowled when they heard ironic laughter coming from the cell door.
"Oh yeah? Why exactly was I the sacrifice required? Yoda or Ani could've taken care of the twins training when the time was right, also let's not forget Master Kenobi you willingly left Anakin to die all those years ago, he still wakes up with nightmares about that thank you very much and I hope you guys are ready for what comes next," Padmé Skywalker finished ominously before walking off, both Bail and Obi Wan sighed deeply, they were prepared for what was coming, or so they thought.
