Chapter 2: Luke sends a message to Anakin
Coruscant, The Jedi Temple: Luke Skywalker entered the inner sanctum of the Jedi Temple, which ha d been trashed by Lord Vader and the 501st just a few months ago before he was sent to Mustafar. Luke stared at the scorch marks of the blaster fire that Clone troopers had fired when killing Jedi younglings. Luke turned to his father, Darth Vader.
"You did this?" He asked, shocked. Vader nodded,"At the bidding of my master to prevent civil war between the Sith and The Jedi. All of the Jedi Holocrons are stored here at the request of The Emperor and are used to aid him in guiding the Empire," Vader said quietly.
"What are the Sith?" Luke asked. Vader turned to his son with a look that if Luke could have seen the face underneath the mask, Vader's face would have revealed surprise.
"My Son, you are a Jedi, and you are unaware of the Sith?" Vader asked. Luke shook his head.
"Then access the Holocrons and see the Great Sith War," Vader said, and he waved his gloved hand over one of the holocrons, and Luke saw the battle between Jedi and Sith some 4000 years prior, and he saw the ancient Lord of the Sith, Darth Bane who reorganized the Sith into two, One Master and One apprentice, much like the Jedi Knights were organized, due to the various Sith Lords being vanquished by the Jedi Knights.
"Is there a way we can use the Holonet to send a message to the future? To warn Anakin of what has occurred?" Luke asked.
"My Son, he is probably aware of the events since it is public knowledge that Palpatine is Emperor and the Jedi are vanquished, but what is not made public is that Emperor Palpatine is also Darth Sidious, Sith Lord supreme. If the people discovered this, The worlds would rebel," Vader said.
"Is there no rebellion against him?" Luke asked nonchalantly. Vader shook his head.
"Your mother, Padme Amidala of Naboo, joined a group of senators to try to stop the Emperor, but Apparently according to my master, I killed her," Vader said.
"Where are her remains?" Luke asked.
"Unknown at this time, my son, but We can send my younger self to Bail Organa to start the rebellion," Vader said.
"I want you to transmit this signal by using the Force to send this message across time and space and warn your younger self to find Bail Organa or Senator Leia Organa," Luke said. They then heard a voice. Luke recognized it as the woman known as "The Emperor's Hand", his wife, Mara Jade. She then knelt before Vader.
"What is thy bidding, my master," She said kneeling before the two.
"Can you operate the Holomatrix and allow Lord Vader to send a message?" Luke asked. She nodded .
"I am trained in the ways of the Force," She said.
"Do it, Mara," Luke said, noticing that the younger version of his wife did not recognize him. She then waved her hand and the holo Emitter that was broken, flared to life at the power of the Force being used against it. Vader knelt in the holo emitter's camera.
Tatooine-The Lars Homestead-Anakin Skywalker, also known as Darth Vader, stared at the holo messages from around the galaxy that the planet would receive feeds from.
"This is a private Message for Anakin Skywalker, repeat this is a private message for Anakin Skywalker," Spoke the bass toned voice of Darth Vader said.
"This is Skywalker," He said facing the emitter. He then saw a dark armored figure in a kneeling position.
"Greetings Lord Vader. I am Darth Vader. You. I've been asked to send a messageto you. I've been commanded to request that you go to the planet Alderaan to meet Bail Organa, Viceroy of that planet to begin a rebellion against the Emperor," The dark amored figure said.
"Your a Sith Lord," Anakin said, startled.
"Yes, but IF you do not do as I ask, then untold millions will suffer at the hands of Palpatine," Vader said.
"And if I do?" Anakin asked.
"Then Anakin you will truly be a Hero Without Fear, and will be responsible for bringing an end to the Sith Empire," Vader said. Anakin Skywalker nodded.
"Is there someone behind our dividing?" Anakin asked. Vader shook his head no.
"I do not have as much knowledge about that as I would like. Seek the woman known as Mara Jade. She can aid you. She will recognize you. You must reveal yourself as Darth Vader. If you reveal yourself as Anakin Skywalker, she will kill you,"Vader said. Anakin nodded.
Beru looked at him. "What will you do, Anakin?" she asked as the image faded.
"Go to Alderaan, to find the Viceroy and start the rebellion to restore The Republic," Anakin said.
"Find a transport but don't use registered transport," Owen said.
"I am Darth Vader, Sith Lord as well as Anakin Skywalker, former Jedi Knight," HE said.
"Which identity will you use?" Beru asked. He then held up his new lightsaber which he ignited and it bore a crimson blade.
"Lord Vader will allow me access to a shuttlecraft and a battallion of troopers to aid me in my request," Anakin said after a minute, then he stormed out of the main building of the Lars Homestead.
Coruscant-The Past-Luke stared at his father as Vader stood up as the holo emitter faded.
"Thank you father," Luke said, and then asked," Why are you doing this against Palpatine?"
Underneath the breath mask of Darth Vader, he smiled.
"Because my son, betrayal and mistrust are the ways of the Sith. If I am to restore the balance of the Force, then I must find a way for the rebellion to restore the Old Republic to start. If not, then the prophecy will not be fulfilled," Vader finally said after a minute.
