Chapter 5Luke had trailed off to the east, using the force to find the destroyed station. At first he was not sure if it was the best idea for him and Janira to separate, but it would save them a lot of time, and time was exactly what Luke needed. He had sensed that his sister, Leia, was in trouble; he could feel it in his mind, body, and spirit. Knowing that Leia was in peril made Luke give in to Janira's suggestion, though he was not pleased with it.
Nearing the station, Luke peered all around him to make sure that no one was near. When he was positive that the outside was desolate, Luke walked inside. Right when he entered, the first thing he noticed was how much the building had changed. No longer having the druids and humans to keep it clean, the building held a sense of loss.
Luke continued walking deeper inside, until he came to a spot that he vividly remembered. He knelt down onto his knees and pictured the last moment he had held with his father, Darth Vader. Reliving this moment, when he took off his father's mask and peered into his eyes for the first time, made Luke also sense a great loss. Gaining back his stature, Luke once more let his eyes wander around the room. He could not see any hint of life, nor could he sense any. Before leaving, Luke once more took in his surroundings, for he knew that he would probably never see this place again.
Just as Luke got outside and breathed in the fresh air, he felt something in him. He felt rejuvenated, like some part of him had been replaced. Right after he felt this renewing, he also sensed a new presence, one that was not on this planet before. It seemed somewhat familiar, but very distant at the same time. Following his senses, Luke set out, determined to find this new presence.
Before Luke got very far, his mind wandered to Janira. 'I should probably check in on her,' Luke thought. Pulling out his Com, he called to Janira.
"Janira?" Luke questioned when he heard the familiar click on the other end.
"Luke?" Janira said, her voice covered with static. "Luke! I am so glad that you called in! I was just thinking about you, and I wanted to tell you that I found something or, rather, did something."
"Really?" Luke asked, surprised.
"Yes, and I think that you are going to be pleased."
"Alright, what is it?"
"After you left, I decided to go out and find your father's grave – now before you say anything let me finish," Janira began. "As I was saying, I decided to go find your father's grave, which, I must say, was particularly easy, since the force was so strong with him. Anyways, I made it to his grave and I knew exactly what I had to do –"
"What, what did you have to do?" Luke asked worriedly.
"Hold on, I am getting there. So, while we were visiting the Ewoks, I felt a great presence and knew that we would not be able to defeat it by ourselves. Then I remembered something that I learned when I was a child. And so that lead me to Anakin's grave where…. I brought him back to life!" Janira finished excitedly.
On the other end, Luke was silent, stunned. Then coming back to his senses said, "This is not a time to kid with me, Janira. Now tell me what you have really been up to."
"What? You don't believe me?" Janira replied sadly. "Since Anakin is here right beside me, why don't I just let him talk to you."
Luke could here some shuffling happening on the other end. At last he heard a male voice. "Hello? This is Anakin Skywalker. What business do you have with me?"
Luke nearly dropped the Com when he heard this strange voice on the other end. Without replying, he shoved the Com into his pocket and took off running towards Janira and her guest.
Luke couldn't, wouldn't, believe the voice, until he saw who it was for himself. His mind was racing, trying to think of how a person could be brought back to life. He had never heard it before in the Jedi teachings, but still, there were some things that were left out.
Sensing Janira and some other powerful presence, Luke knew that he was getting close. Finally, through a clearing of trees, he could faintly see Janira's head of curls. And next to her, to Luke's astonishment, stood a figure clad in black and obviously a Jedi.
When Janira heard footsteps behind her, she quickly turned around to face Master Luke. Anakin, too, heard the footsteps and turned around. The shock and awe that was on Luke's face told Janira that he really did not believe her when she had said that she brought Anakin back from the grave.
"Well don't act so surprised!" Janira exclaimed. "I told you that he was here."
Luke did not say anything, but just advanced slowly towards Anakin, who began to hesitantly back away.
"Who are you?" Anakin declared.
"I don't believe it…" Luke whispered. "Is it really you?"
Anakin furrowed his brow. "I am Anakin Skywalker, if that is what you mean."
A smile broke out onto Luke's face.
Again, Anakin gave him that same thoughtful look. "What are you smiling about?"
"I can't believe it!" Luke yelled while embracing Anakin. "When you died I thought that I'd never see you again! But now… you are here and you can help us!"
"I do not know who you people are or why I am here, but I am already working on destroying the sith."
"No, no," Luke said while shaking his head. "The sith has already been destroyed and has been for 6 years. We now have a new enemy, Lord Larveus, who is trying to come into power. We were given orders to come here and see if he was here, but we see no traces of him. The council and I believe that he is trying to recreate the Clone Wars and the Empire, to eventually rid of all Jedi."
After he was finished, Janira looked at him with her mouth agape.
"What?" she said shocked. "You knew what he was planning to do and you didn't tell me? I am trying to help you destroy him! How could you not tell me this vital information?"
Luke sighed. "The council was unsure if your intentions were pure."
"They weren't sure if my intentions were pure," Janira threw her hands up into the air. "Perfect. Just perfect. I have been training my hardest for six years and yet the council doesn't trust me?"
"I sense lots of anger in you, Janira," Luke said with his eyes closing.
"Of course I am angry!" she yelled back. "How would you feel if the people who you surrounded yourself with did not even trust you?"
"I would prove them wrong and give them a reason to trust me."
Janira glared over at Luke. "You are impossible." Then turning to Anakin she said, "Come on, Anakin, let's go."
Anakin looked at Luke then turned and followed Janira back to her ship.
"In that one, lots of anger I sense," a voice said, after Janira and Anakin were safely out of the clearing.
"Just let me work with her a little more," Luke pleaded. "She has too much power, we can't lose her!"
"Young Skywalker is right," another voice said. "We cannot lose her like we did the other, even though she does have anger. But we have learned from the last one that we cannot let her get out of hand. What happened last time was… too disastrous."
"Give you time, I will," the other voice concluded. Then the two presences were gone, leaving Luke to think.
