Luke was not impressed.
Not only did R2 have a message from his sister that he didn't know about before now but the old fool Kenobi was trying to pull the wool over his eyes yet again.
"This was your fathers Lightsaber. An elegant weapon but not as clumsy as a blaster. Your father wanted you to have it when you old enough." The old Jedi said in his grandfather act, trying to feed the 19 year old lies as he had before.
"You mean, his father, who you left to burn on Mustafar, Kenobi." His guardian was standing in the door way half concealed in the shadows.
"Ventress? What are you doing here?" Obi-wan asked quickly, clearly shocked that the Dathomirian woman was there.
"Making sure you don't try and tell Luke a pile of bantha crap like you obviously were just then, you lying gasbag!" Ventress snarled, no doubt thinking about gutting the Jedi right there and then.
"Lie? I would never lie to Luke, you've lost your mind in all those years in the darkness." He retorted. Obi-wan continued, "Luke, dear boy, do you really believe these ridiculous claims? This woman is clearly deranged and..." He never finished his sentence because he was blasted against the wall by hyper-charged forks of yellow lightning, Anakin's lightsaber was torn from the old mans hand by the Force.
Luke's eyes were blazing with fury as his twin lightsabers slid into his hands, igniting with an inhuman screaming, while the aged Jedi was tortured by the lightning that danced from the enraged boy's fingers with excruciating accuracy.
"DERANGED? You dare to call her deranged when she has raised me like her own little brother and spent years caring for me! You may think the fate of the universe is worth a few little white lies but my guardian always told me the truth, never lying once." The normally quiet human yelled, "I see through the deceptions of the Jedi, I don't fear the power of darkness, rather balance it with light and embrace them both. I would have been unable to see past the web of trickery were it not for the Night-Sisters and Mother Talzin. I am not blinded nor hindered by your Jedi restrictions. You see me as a means to an end but I see your blatant disregard for any wishes but you own, separating me and my sister for instance."
Luke released his Force Lightning assault and pointed the two laser-swords at Obi-wan. "As much as I want to separate your head from your body, I have a royal sibling to find so get up off your sorry rear and let's go." He spat.
Time skip
"The ship has been programmed to join up with the rebellions fleet and deliver a message so let's go you old fool." Ventress ordered. She didn't trust the Jedi so she forced him to lead the way to Mos Eisley spaceport so they could get a ship that wouldn't be traced back to them after they had rescued Leia. When the trio reached the cantina where bounty hunters were found, Obi-wan went off to find a pilot with a fast ship so they could get to Alderaan as fast as possible. Although she stayed with Luke, the Night-Sister kept an eye on the former Jedi Master.
There was a bit of a mess when a pair of outlanders started harassing the silent human.
"He doesn't like you." The pig-faced man said, pointing to his partner. Neither of the two from Dathomeir said a word.
"I don't like you either." Pig-face continued.
"We're sorry." Said Ventress sarcastically.
"Your dead!" The Outland scum yelled, pulling out a crudely built laser pistol and tried to shoot Luke. The dathomirian woman reached round Luke with lightning fast speed, severing the hand that held the gun and stabbing the outlanders with Anakin's lightsaber which she had snatched from Luke as she reached around him.
"We don't like to talk." Ventress said in the same manner she had when she gutted that bounty hunter in a bar years ago, handing Luke back the lightsaber.
After a while Obi-wan had found them a pilot with a ship. The human was Han Solo and the wookie was Chewbacca. They were walking to the ship with Artoo and Threepio, when Luke noticed imperial stormtroopers following them a way off. He nudged Ventress with his elbow and she nodded.
When the group reached the Millennium Falcon the clones were running to keep up. Luke pulled out his mothers royal Nubian laser pistol and shot some of the imperial troops as he backed up the ramp. The ship took off and they entered hyperspace, headed to Alderaan.
The Dathomeir pair watched Chewie and R2-D2 play a game on an old holo-board. When Han made a comment about wookies ripping people's arms off when they lose a game, the pair decided to get some sabre practice done.
When the Falcon arrived at Alderaan they saw a massive grey Sphere near the planet.

Leia
"Admiral, a ship has just exited hyperspace near the planet. It matches the one that got past our Star destroyer at Tatooine. Several of the escape pods have been launched as well." An officer called out from one of the many console banks.
"Abort laser firing sequence, trap that ship in the tractor beam and bring it into the main hanger. Send a scanning crew and stormtrooper squad there as well." Darth Vader commanded.
"Vader, what is the meaning of this?" Questioned Tarkin.
"That ship is a threat to the Empire and this battle station. It must be dealt with as such, Admiral." The Sith Lord replied, "Take the princess back to her cell."
"What is going on?" Demanded Leia, wanting to know what was going on. She got no answer and was marched back to her cell by a pair of clones. She was losing hope that anyone was coming to free her when she heard a gentle voice in her head,
'Be patient. I am coming. Soon you will be free. I love you my sister.'
Luke
'Be patient. I am coming. Soon you will be free. I love you my sister.' Luke smiled sadly as he broadcasted the short message to Leia after the Ventress took out the scanning crew.
"Come up and give us a hand with this will ya?" Han called down the ramp to the two stormtroopers.
When the clones entered the ship, out of sight of the other imperials, Luke sent one to sleep and choked the other trooper with the Force. He clenched his outstretched hand into a fist, crushing the soldiers windpipe.
"That was nasty." Han whispered, shuddering. Kenobi was looking at the young Force Warrior in a disapproving way which caused Ventress to glare at him venomously. Han got the dead stormtroopers armour and helmet on and all five of them crept up to the hanger control room
Luke woke up the sleeping trooper and made him signal to the control room that his com wasn't working. The door opened and an officer who was going to check the troopers com was shot by Han, dressed in the stormtroopers armour. He and Chewie killed all the imperials in the room while Luke made the trooper go to the armoury and choked the clone to death like he did with the other one.
After Han had cuffed the wookie, by Luke's instructions, but left the binders unlocked, they went to the detention block with the Dathomeir two hiding in the shadows while the Jedi went to shut off the tractor beam.
When Han confronted the officers in prison command, Luke and Ventress dropped down from the shadows in front of Chewie and Solo after they destroyed the cameras secretly from above.
Ventress ignited her twin blades as Luke pulled out Mauls original and ancient Jedi lightsabers and activated them. "Let's dance." He said coldly.
Leia
She woke to the sounds of battle in the corridor outside her cell. 'What in the nine levels of hell is going on?' Leia wondered.
Luke
Luke spun around, slitting the commanders throat, and the slaughter began.
He and Ventress cut down all the imperials in the room and deflected laser bullets back at the sentries, killing them. Luke ran down the corridor and stopped in front of the right cell.
He had found his sister.
