Disclaimer: On chapter 1.

AN: I'm not entirely sure, but this may be the last update in a while since school is starting tomorrow. Don't worry I'm not going to abandon this story even though updates may come slower. Well, enjoy.

Fate is cruel. She thought as she made her way down the hall. First Alderaan was destroyed along with my father and my people, now Fate deemed it that Luke had to suffer in the hands of his father. His father.... His father shouldn't be Darth Vader. How can such a kind-hearted person be Vader's son? These were the thoughts of Princess Leia Organa, as she quickly walked to discuss the current situation with two other people.

As soon as she appeared, the meeting quickly began.

"The Empire now obviously knows where we are. We should begin evacuation immediately before Vader decides to go back on his promise with Commander Skywalker." Said Mon Mothma.

"Promise? It was more like a show aimed to get us to believe that the Son of Vader is not a filthy servant of the Empire." Sneered Madine.

"General Madine, I think we can be sure that Luke didn't betray us anymore than you would betray us. One of the issue we are here to discuss before we evacuate is the issue of who was the leak who gave Vader our location." Stated Leia coldly. "If it had been Luke, I doubt that we would have survived the encounter with Vader. The Rebellion would have been crushed, and any last resistance against the Empire would have dwindled to nothing. It would have to be a person of low profile who can slip away unnoticed as soon as he or she had heard that we were moving base to Hoth. Could that person have slipped away during the confusion that followed when some astromech droids were reprogrammed to take control of x-wings and shoot on other ships?"

"It is entirely possible. But since we have to evacuate, there is little we can do to stop the spy from leaking our locations again." said Mon Mothma as she sighed. "The only thing we can do is double the security on confidential matters and watch the people that came in after Bespin since that was about the starting time when the Imperials seemed to know where and how to capture some of the other bases."

"I guess that is the only solution we have right now." Leia said dejectedly. "The other issue I wanted to discuss with you all is the issue of rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. We will need his connections to help us get supplies and information." Not to mention that I will need him if I want to help save Luke.

"And what do you suggest we do to rescue him from Jabba the Hutt?" demanded Madine. "Jabba will not let go of his prize willingly."

Leia quickly responded. "With the right equipment and connections, Lando Calrissian can quickly get into Jabba's palace and wait as I go in there disguised as a bounty hunter claiming the capture price of the wookie Chewbacca. Then as I wait around to collect my money, I can free Han as Lando free Chewie and we can get out before anyone catches us."

"It seems that you have given this issue a lot of thought. But what if we lose you or you get captured in the process? What then? Have you given that any thought at all?"

"I will do what is necessary. If I am captured, then I will find a way out. But we cannot let this possibility stop us. We need Han's help."

"Very well, Princess Leia. But we cannot start this operation until after we move base." Said Mon Mothma calmly. "We must start the evacuation immediately."

"Agreed. Then this meeting is over." As Leia pushed back her chair and walked out of the room. Won't be long now Han. Before you are free from Jabba.

Bryan Remes was angry. No, he was not angry. He was way beyond angry. Why did Vader let such a chance to crush the Rebellion go? How can he do it just because it was the wishes of his son?!?!?!? I didn't even know Vader had a son. Sith. Now I have to continue this charade even longer. He groaned. Why do these things always happen to him? His fellow wingmates were all at their rooms discussing what had happened so he was alone. Is his son going to be trained as a Sith too? There's already enough Sith lords without a third one. How am I going to put up with these Rebels? He paced. I'm sure security will be even tighter. I'm going to have an even harder time hacking into the files. He sighed. Why does these type of things always happen to him? He thought as he went to join the rest of Blue Squadron.

Minutes later, from the meeting, Leia heard the announcement.

"ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL. IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS, WE HAVE DECIDED TO EVACUATE THIS BASE. PLEASE DO SO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE"

Fate is cruel...

AN: Yes, yes I know this is shorter than last chapter. Sorry. And I know that there was no Luke in this chapter. Luke will appear in the next chapter. Just wanted to set the rescue mission for Han in motion... Kind of...Anyway, till next time...

k00lgirl1808 – Thanks

SHAWN PROVONCHA – Thanks. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Brisk – Glad to see that you think the scene was well written. As for Han, he will be rescued eventually and have a more active role.

SW Banshee – Thanks. As for the evacuation of Hoth, yes it was before Bespin but in this story I needed a planet so I picked Hoth. And I don't know if this is possible but I guess they could have made a new base at a new location on Hoth.

Jedimaster Igor – I guess Mara will appear sometime in the future.

Princess-Kinky – Glad you liked the scene.
