Blaze: (sighs) here is chapter 5 and I hope that you like it, reviews are much appreciated and some of the planets aren't as they are in canon. I probably said that before but oh well.


Chapter 5

Apprehension


Darth Ira watched as the planet of Aleen came to fill his viewports on the Star Destroyer, the Avenger. Lieutenant Piett and Admiral Lycar were standing just behind him though they were smart enough not to say anything when Ira welcomed silence. Though he wasn't naturally short-tempered, it became increasingly harder to keep his temper under control when he was dealing with incompetent idiots.

Ira stirred slightly when Piett came to his side. "Lord Ira?" He said and Ira glanced at him with cool yellow eyes.

"Yes?" he asked.

"My Lord, the Emperor is commanding you make contact with him," Piett replied.

Ira nodded once though on the inside he was scowling. In the five years that he has been Emperor Palpatine's apprentice, he has come to dislike his master more than he did when he was a Jedi. The old Sith Master was very arrogant and even more cocky than Anakin Skywalker. To Ira, Palpatine was more cocky than everyone in the entire galaxy. It was a wonder as to how he has been able to last this long.

Then again, he spends most of his time on Coruscant surrounded by guards. He is such a coward, Ira thought as he made his way down the hallway toward his communication chambers to speak with his master.

When he reached his communication chambers, he entered it before making his way toward the console. When the larger than life hologram of Emperor Palpatine appeared before him, Ira lowered his head. "What is it, Master?" he asked.

Palpatine's cool yellow gaze fixed itself on Ira. "Lord Ira. It has come to my attention that several Jedi managed to escape Zharan," he said. "One of those Jedi was the Padawan Ahsoka Tano. When you are done with your mission on Aleen, I want you to find Tano."

"Yes Master but may I ask why?" Ira asked.

"It is because of our plan to turn the Chosen One to the dark side. The bond between a master and an apprentice is a powerful one and Anakin Skywalker will sense that his Padawan is in danger. And because of this, we may be able to use Tano to turn him to the dark side," the Emperor replied.

Ira narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't question his master's explanation. "Very well, my Master," he said and the Emperor's hologram disappeared, leaving the chamber in silence. Ira let out a long sigh as he straightened up, turned around and made his way out of the communication chambers.


Luke narrowed his eyes as he made his way down the silent and empty corridor of the Mon Cal ship, Home One, with his sister, Leia, just behind him. The small five-year-old boy turned to gaze through the small portholes that examined the planet of Dantooine lying far below them.

While the rest of the Rebel Alliance was sleeping in order to catch up on their rest, others were speaking with each other about their plans before they set off again toward Adari, where the Alliance leaders had decided to make their new base. One of the Adarians had come to the Alliance a few days ago and Luke found the stubborn humanoids to be quite interesting.

The Adarian was known as Denka Melru and Luke couldn't help but be a bit afraid and excited at the sight of the Adarian. He glanced at Leia. "Come on," he whispered to the five-year-old girl as she came to a stop beside him.

"Dad's gonna get mad if he finds us here," Leia said.

"I know but I wanna see who that Denku person is speaking to," Luke replied. He and Leia started walking quickly down the corridor.

"That human doesn't look nice," Leia admitted.

"Yeah, that's why I wanna see who he is," Luke said. He and Leia started running down the corridor before coming to a stop when they neared the hangar bay. Their parents were currently speaking with Mon Mothma and General Rieekan while Sillia and Obi-Wan were having some time to themselves. Only three days had passed by since the two of them were married and they were spending almost every waking second with each other.

Luke rather liked that his Uncle was married now and he already knew that, though he could sense the darkness that was coming off of Sillia, she was like an Aunt to him and his twin sister Leia. Luke has always had a knack for sensing the true nature behind a person and he wasn't getting a good feeling from Melru's friend.

The Skywalker twins ducked behind some crates as Denku and the human he had been speaking with earlier made their way into the hangar bay. Denku was the one that was speaking. "I doubt you'd be able to get close to them to speak with them, Alan, General Skywalker is very protective of them and always stays as close to them as he possibly can," he said.

"Children of that age are naturally curious, Denku, so it's likely that they don't like staying confined to their rooms. I merely wish to speak to them," the human said.

Luke shuddered slightly as he felt the malice that the human was projecting through the Force. Even though he didn't have much training in the Force, he has always been able to sense the feelings that people were trying to hide. It was much more powerful with his father to where Luke hears the same thoughts, sees the same dreams and feels the same feelings that his father is. It was never this strong when it came to anyone else, except for Leia, but Luke could still feel that the human was up to no good.

"That man isn't up to any good," Luke whispered to his sister as the two of them moved to hide behind crates that were closer to the Adarian and the human before they crouched down behind the crates.

"Yeah he isn't," Leia agreed quietly.

"Why do you want to speak with the Skywalker twins anyway?" Denku asked curiously.

The human shrugged. "They come from a great legacy," he replied. "And I want to see if they are like their father and mother in any way."

"They're only five, Alan, and they have not yet developed themselves. It would do you no good if you wanted to figure out whether or not they are more like their mother or father."

"Just tell me where the Skywalker rooms are," Alan said.

Denku sighed. "Fine," he said before he gave the human simple instructions to the group of rooms that Anakin, Padmé, Obi-Wan and Sillia had claimed for themselves when they arrived on Home One following the battle of Lok.

Luke glanced at Leia, starting to feel a bit of apprehension as the Adarian gave the human directions to their rooms. "I don't like this. Don't trust him. Let's go tell Dad," he said.

Leia nodded. "Good idea," she said. She and Luke turned around before hurrying down the corridor back to their rooms.

When they reached their rooms, See Threepio was walking in the general direction of where they had gone. "Oh there you two are. I was getting most worried when I couldn't find you for your afternoon snack," he said when he spotted the Skywalker twins.

"Where's Dad?" Luke asked firmly.

"Master Anakin is still speaking with Mistress Padmé and the others," Threepio replied.

"But where? I have to speak to him," Luke said.

Threepio frowned. "May I ask why?"

"Don't know but I think he needs to know of what I'm feeling coming from Alan," Luke replied before asking pleadingly, "Please will you tell me where dad is?"

"He's in the conference room, Master Luke, three hallways down and the third door on the right," Threepio replied.

"Thanks Threepio," Luke said before he turned around and ran off with Leia, after a moment of silence, hurrying after him with Threepio, sputtering protests, hurrying after them.


Anakin could feel the apprehension that Luke was feeling and it was distracting him. He couldn't seem to hear anything that Mon Mothma or General Rieekan or his wife were saying and he couldn't seem to figure out why he felt as though something was wrong.

"Ani?" Padmé said gently nudging Anakin in the side and the young man blinked before looking at his wife.

"What?" he asked.

"You were spacing out," Padmé replied. "Rieekan and Mon Mothma were trying to figure out the best way to set up our base on Adari when we reach the planet. Melru said just before he left that he knows the planet like the back of his hand and he should be able to find us a good place to set up our base."

Anakin glanced back at Mon Mothma and Rieekan who were gazing at him with concern in their eyes. "Sorry," he said.

"You seem to have something on your mind, General," Rieekan said.

Anakin sighed. "I guess I do," he murmured but before he could say anything else, the door slide open and Anakin turned in his seat as Luke and Leia hurried into the room with Threepio just behind them.

"Luke, Leia, what are you doing here?" Padmé exclaimed.

"Wanted to talk to Dad," Luke replied gazing up at his father. Anakin narrowed his eyes, the apprehension he was feeling from his son was stronger than ever before.

"I am truly sorry, Master Anakin. They wanted to know where you were but I didn't think they'd run away after I told them," Threepio said.

"It's all right, Threepio," Anakin said. He held out his arms and Luke climbed into his father's lap before wrapping his arms around him. "What's the matter, little one?" Anakin asked softly gazing down at his son.

Luke gazed up at him. "Been sensing something bad," he murmured.

Anakin knew his son well enough to take his senses seriously. Luke, though he had only a little training in the Force, was very adept at picking up the feelings someone is feeling and seeing their true nature when they aren't hiding it that well.

"Like what, Son?" Anakin asked.

Luke shuddered. "Just bad," he said. "Coming from Alan."

Anakin frowned. "Isn't Alan the new tech that we hired from Alderaan?" he asked looking at Mon Mothma.

"He is," Mon Mothma replied.

"He's not good, he's up to something bad, I felt it," Luke said.

Anakin looked back at his son. "Are you sure?" he asked.

"Wanted to speak with us," Luke said. "That Denku person told him where our rooms were."

"That doesn't sound like anything a regular tech would do," Padmé said.

"No it doesn't," Anakin agreed. He gently lifted Luke before placing him on the ground and standing up. He turned around before gently kissing Padmé on the cheek. "I'm going to go with Luke and Leia back to the rooms, Padmé," he murmured softly.

"Do you think Luke's right?" Padmé asked.

"I don't know but Luke hasn't been wrong on his sixth sense before," Anakin replied. He turned around before taking his children's hands and leading them out of the conference room.


Leia narrowed her eyes as her father guided her and her twin brother back into the living area of their apartment like group of rooms. Threepio followed them before glancing at Anakin. "What do you want me to do now, Master Ani?" he asked.

Anakin smiled faintly. "You don't have to do anything right now, Threepio. You can shut down if you'd like," he said.

"Very well, Master Anakin," Threepio said before he walked over to a nearby chair, sat down and shut down to rest his circuits.

"You okay, Dad?" Leia asked as Anakin led the way toward the couch and sat down. Leia and Luke sat down on either side of their father before leaning against him. Anakin put his arms around his children but didn't say anything for a long moment.

"I agree with Luke. Techs don't normally visit other people," he said.

Before Leia could reply, a door chime sounded and Anakin stood up before walking to the door and pressing the door release button. Leia turned to look over the top of the couch as the familiar form of Alan appeared in the doorway.

"Oh, hello General Skywalker, I didn't expect you to be here," Alan admitted.

"And because of that, you decided to drop in on my children without anyone here," Anakin asked folding his arms across his chest before raising an eyebrow.

"I, uh, assumed that someone would be here with them," Alan stammered out.

Anakin's eyes narrowed and Leia could see a dangerous gleam in her father's electric blue eyes. "You know that I'm a Jedi, Alan, and you should know better than to try and lie to a Jedi. What is your real reason for coming here?" he asked.

Alan swallowed. "I merely wanted to ask your children a few questions," he replied.

"A few questions?" Anakin echoed. "And you couldn't wait until there was an adult that I trust, or myself, here watching them. You just decided that you could drop in on them whenever you wanted to, to ask them these questions."

"I thought for sure there would be someone here with them," Alan replied.

The dangerous gleam in Anakin's eyes grew harder. "Try again," he suggested. Leia shuddered when she heard the coldness in her father's voice. She has never heard her father sound so cold before and she could tell that her brother was surprised as well.

"I…" Alan faltered under the hard glare that Anakin threw at him and he finally managed to blurt out, "I was sent to speak with them, that's all!"

"If that's all then why are you getting defensive?"

Alan scowled angrily. "It's kind of hard to not get defensive when you're around, Skywalker," he growled.

"And it's kind of hard for me to stop myself from slicing you down the middle because my children are watching us," Anakin retorted angrily. "Now why don't you tell me who it is that sent you before I lose my temper?"

Alan glared at him. "It's a miracle you haven't lost your temper yet. After all, you lost it almost instantly after your mother was killed. It's a good thing too, considering what I heard about her, she was just a whore after all," he hissed.

Leia felt her father gather the energy of the Force and she widened her eyes in surprise as Anakin snarled in anger before lashing out with the Force and Alan was sent flying into the wall at the opposite end of the hallway.

"Don't you ever speak of my mother like that again," Anakin snarled before he used the Force to slam the sliding door shut, turned around and stalked off toward his bedroom.

Leia glanced at Luke. "I've never seen dad that angry before," she said.

"I know, why does the mention of grandma and those lies anger dad so much?" Luke wondered out loud. He glanced at Leia before looking at the room his father had disappeared into. "Think I'll go ask him."

"Be careful," Leia said. "He looked pretty angry."

"I know," Luke replied before he walked quickly toward the room that his father had disappeared into.
