Cloud City – Landing Western Platform
The three Jedi got off the shuttle before the guards and flight crew recovered from the trauma they had endured when Anakin, Ahsoka, and Mace Windu made their escape! They were going to have to make sure that they were not caught by Vader's Imperial Stormtroopers, or anyone else that would be working for him! As they reached a junction in the hallway they were in, they saw some shadows, and then Padme and the others surrounded by Stormtroopers and being led by a dark skinned man who looked like he wanted to help in any way possible!
The three Jedi decided that they were going to free everyone and hopefully find Brian and get him to come back to the Light Side! They engaged the troopers and were able to defeat them with some effort on their part! As Lando started to take Chewie's binders off of him, Chewie reached out and started to choke Lando! It took everyone to calm Chewie down after a minute when Lando mentioned that they can still save Han and Mara from the Mandalorian!
"Dad, I'm going after Brian to see if I can get him to return to us." Luke told his father.
"He's too dangerous for you to do this young Skywalker. Only a fully trained Jedi can defeat a Sith Lord." Master Windu reminded him.
"Master Windu, I'm the only one that can reach him. After all, I am closer to him than Leia is. She may get hurt or worse if she went. And the same for dad. I have to do this." Luke said with a slight smile on his face.
"Just be careful Luke, you don't know what your brother maybe capable of." Padme said with a sad voice.
"Just be careful Luke. He's not our brother right now." Leia said with a hurtful voice.
"Luke, please bring him back to us." Jillian told him as well.
His father just nodded his head as everyone managed to get their weapons back. Luke headed back to the carbon freezing chamber to confront his brother, and hopefully get him back to the Light Side of the Force! Everyone else went to head towards the Eastern Platform in hoping that they can stop the Mandalorian!
Alderaan – Prison Camp 1
After being treated for the lashes that they had received, everyone including Bail Organa decided to make their weapons in the barracks, and hopefully will be useful in the plan to take over the camp, and hopefully end the Imperial Rule here! They had various versions of knives and swords from whatever material they could use from the bed frames to the lockers that held the little possessions they had on them! They had manage to get word to the other barracks to do the same, and when the time was right, that is when they would strike!
As they were waiting for the moment to strike, the entire prison wasn't prepared for what would happen next! Squadrons of the new T.I.E. Fighters came out of nowhere, and started strafing runs on the fighters on the ground before those fighters could be launched! With the guards and soldiers distracted, that's when the prisoners made their own attack!
The prisoners used the weapons that they had made, and attacked the guards and soldiers, for their lives depended on this that they would escape now! They fought valiantly with some losses, but they had liberated the camp, and Bail Organa saw a transport ship coming down in the middle of the camp, and Obi-Wan Kenobi stepped out of it!
"Obi-Wan, it's good to see you brought company for your visit here." Organa said with some laughter in his voice.
"I wouldn't have missed this party for the galaxy Bail. I'm glad that we were able to free Alderaan now. There's still Naboo and Bespin that have to be freed as well. Hopefully the others are able to free them soon." Obi-Wan said with a concerned voice.
"Is there a problem Obi-Wan?" Bail asked him.
"Not really Bail. I'm just worried about Anakin and the others." He told Bail.
"I'm sure they're just fine. After all, Anakin is the Chosen One. He did bring balance when he destroyed Palpatine twenty years ago, and I'm sure he can do it again." Bail reassured him.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Obi-Wan said more to himself than anyone else.
They headed to the transport ship and had it take them to the palace so Bail could get cleaned up and dressed so he could address the Senate from Alderaan.
Cloud City – Eastern Platform
Rylo Ordo watched as the Imperial Stormtroopers loaded both Han Solo and Mara Jade into the cargo hold of Slave 1 that she had 'taken' from the late Boba Fett! She saw the incoming former prisoner coming at her, and made her stand against them! She was able to defend herself against them, but the odds were against her before she even had a chance to escape! They had managed to capture her, and taken the carbonite slabs of Han and Mara out of the cargo hold!
Lando started the process of freeing both Han and Mara from their prisons, and everyone rejoiced for their freedom! They then wondered if Luke was making any progress with Vader or not, and helped Han and Mara to the Falcon.
Carbonite Freezing Chamber
Luke had managed to find his way back to the room that his friend and now girlfriend were imprisoned! He remembered the way Vader, not his brother, had went, and went after him to see if he could get him to renounce the Dark Side once and for all! As he reached the staircase, he heard Vader's voice speaking to him.
"The Force is strong with you Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet." Vader said to him through his mask.
Luke slowly reached for his Lightsaber and held in is hand before speaking to Vader.
"Look Brian, renounce the Dark Side and return to us. You belong with your friends and family. We will welcome you back." Luke said half convincingly.
"I do not know who this Brian is that you speak of, but I would turn you to the Dark Side as my apprentice." Vader said as both he and Luke activated their Lightsabers.
Luke felt he had no choice now but to make the first move against his brother! He swung his saber at Vader who had deflected the blade with no problem at all! Vader made some half-hearted swings at Luke to see where he was at in saber moves. He was impressed with what he had seen before disarming Luke and making Luke fall down the flight of stairs towards the area where the platform for the carbon freezing process! Luke got up before Vader was able to jump down at him, and backed up to the hole, and fell in! Vader turned to activate the process to put Luke into carbonite!
"All too easy! Maybe you're not as strong as I thought!" Vader said to himself.
Vader heard a noise above him, and saw Luke in the cables and wires above him!
"Impressive, most impressive." Vader said to Luke.
Vader then swung his saber towards Luke, only it cut a hose which Luke used to make Vader move away from him and recall his Lightsaber back to him! They continued the fight on several levels below the freezing chamber. In a room with a large window and several pieces of machinery in it is where Vader was going to see if he could get Luke to join him.
"I can feel your anger in you. Use your anger to strike me down, and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete! It's the only way to save not only yourself, but that of your friends and family!" Vader said to Luke in a mocking way!
As Luke was about to attack Vader, Luke felt a disturbance in the Force and blocked a piece of machine that Vader used the Force on to attack Luke! Vader kept using the Force to hurl machinery at Luke, and Luke was getting battered and tired from it! Finally a piece of machinery went through the window, and the gushing winds was pulling everything through it including Luke! Vader went to the window to see that Luke had managed to grab a rail and started to pull himself up! Vader left the room to confront Luke once again!
