This is all George Lucas Universe...I onlywrite for fun.

Blood is Thicker

Tatooine

Luke Lars was extremely bored. He had cleaned up two droids his father had bought from the Jawas.

At the dinner table Luke approached his father. "Biggs has just sent his application to the academy, I was thinking that I could send mine too."

"No, Luke, next year."

"But father…"

"Not a word about it."

Luke got up, left his food untouched. "I'll never get out of this dustball of a planet!"

"Luke, you must eat," Beru tried to convince the young man but he left.

"Owen," she started. "You can't keep him forever, you know."

"I'll make it up for him next year," he replied.

Luke felt bad leaving the table being rude to his mother. Beru has been an angel and he regretted his actions. He was returning to the table in time to overhear his parents talking.

"He has too much of his father on him," said Beru.

"That's what I am afraid of," Owen replied.

Luke entered.

"What do you mean, father?"

"Luke, there is something you need to know…" Beru whispered.

"No, Beru." Owen intervened

"He must know."

"What is it mother?"

"We love you, don't you ever forget that…there is no easy way to say that…

you were adopted."

Luke lowered his head. "I know, mother."

"You do?"

"Somehow I always knew. But I love you both."

"Who were my parents?"

Beru and Owen looked at each other.

"Your father's name was Anakin Skywalker. Your mother was Padme Naberrie Skywalker," she said. "But nobody is to know that, it is supposed to be a secret."

"But why?"

They wouldn't say.

On board of Executor Darth Vader paced furious. He had to return to that dreaded planet, old memories were returning but he had a duty to accomplish. There were rebel activities spotted in the outer rim and any rebellion activity should be crushed.

Vader approached Admiral Piett. "Prepare me my shuttle."

"Yes, my lord."

While the Lars family slept, R2D2 left towards the mountains.

Luke couldn't sleep. He was still thinking about the sentence he heard but could not understand. /he has much of his father…/ His foster parents would not reveal the

secret about his parents. Before the suns rose, Luke went to the shop.

"Master Luke, oh my!"

"Where is R2?" Luke asked.

"Master Luke, he left.."

"Left, where?"

"He is looking for his old master…Obi Wan Kenobi"

"Obi Wan…I wonder if is old Ben Kenobi. Come, lets go."

Luke took the T 16 skyhopper and left towards Ben Kenobi's lair.

Darth Vader was piloting his shuttle and a message came.

"Lord Vader, we've located the droids. It was purchased by a farmer by the name of

Owen Lars."

/I was hoping you would come, I believe you are my stepbrother…/ a memory from old past.

"Retrieve the droids," Vader said.

"Yes, my lord."

Meanwhile at Ben's place Luke presented the astromech droid

"This droid has a message for you."

As the message plays, Luke observes the young woman.

"Luke, I must speak to your father. There is too much at stake. I need to go to

Alderaan and you must come with me."

"My father will never let me."

"Let me talk to him."

"They told me the truth, they are not my real parents," Luke said with a hint of sadness.

"So he finally came to his senses," said Obi-Wan.

"You knew that?"

"I knew your father," he turned around and took a lightsaber. "Here, take this."

"What is this?"

"This is a weapon of a Jedi, a noble weapon. It belonged to your father."

"My father was a Jedi! No wonder my parents were so afraid to tell me!"

Darth Vader passed by a graveyard.

Shimi Skywalker

Read the greavestone

/Don't look back/ her voice echoed in his mind…

When Vader arrived at the moisture farm he saw Owen and Beru terrified.

A stormtropper approached. "My lord, the droids are not here."

"Where are the droids?" the dark lord's voice gave chills to the frightened couple.

Owen held Beru on his arms. "I really don't know, my lord," Owen said with fright.

The noise of an approaching T-16 skyhopper is heard. "Please, don't hurt our son…" Beru pleaded.

Outside the house Obi-Wan was apprehensive, He sensed the danger. He felt the presence. "Luke, you must leave me and go."

"No, there are imperial troops here, I must see my parents."

"Luke don't!"

Luke grabbed the lightsaber and ran towards the house.

"No, Luke! don't!" Obi Wan tried in vain, Luke was gone.

Stormtroppers tried to hold him but Luke kicked them away.

"Please! Don't hurt him!" Beru cried out.

Luke stormed into the house and was face to face with Darth Vader.

He recognized the dark lord from the holovids. He knew how evil the man was, he just didn't care "Leave my parents alone!" he screamed as he brandished the lightsaber.

A stormtropper pointed the weapon to Luke. Vader sensed a great disturbance in the force. The young man holding the lightsaber…Anakin's lightsaber! The force is strong with this one./

"No, leave him. This one is mine!" Vader groaned. He force chocked the young man who felt on his knees.

Obi Wan entered. "Release him!"

"Take them outside! Leave the boy here!" Vader ordered. Luke was bound on his legs and hand.

"We meet at last, now the circle is complete. When I left you I was a learner, now I am a master." Vader spat.

"Only a master of evil, Darth," Obi Wan replied dryly.

They fought. "I see you have taken a new apprentice." Vader surrounded the horrified boy with his lightsaber nearing his throat.

"You shall see your master die before the same fate befalls you, young one."

Vader said sarcastically.

"Leave him alone, Vader, I am the one you want!"

"He is force sensitive…perhaps I shall keep him for me after I kill you."

Obi Wan approached, Vader attacked viciously. When he felt defeated he looked to Luke and said "May the force be with you!"

Vader passed his lightsaber through Obi Wan and only the clothes were left.

"Noooooo!" Luke screamed and cried.

Darth Vader approached the young man who was defenseless. He picked up the Luke's lightsaber and placed under his belt.

"Please…don't hurt my parents…my lord.!" Luke was shaking and he felt his whole body numb in fear of the dark lord. Vader sensed the strength of the boy . /He may be useful/ he tought.

A stormtropper entered. "We have the droids my lord."

"Good. Take them to my ship."

"Please my lord, don't kill my parents.!" Luke cried out. "They haven't done anything! If is there anything I can do…I will do anything you ask, please spare their lives, I beg you!"

"You want to save your parents?" Vader pulled Luke on his feet and took the binders off. "You will come with me and not to try to escape."

The noise of blasters rang outside.

A stormtropper rushed in. "My lord, the prisoners tried to escape, we had to kill them."

"Nooooo!" Luke screamed and was knocked unconscious.

On board of the Executioner Luke woke up in a darkened room. His heart was racing.

He let himself cry, he started to hiccup so he tried to hold his breath. He was more scared because he was bound to the bunk, arms and legs he couldn't move.

He couldn't know how long he was there still but it seemed hours. Finally he heard a noise of a door opening. His heartbeat jumped even more when he saw the black mask hovering over him.

"Why didn't you kill me too?" Luke started to cry.

"I have use for you, young one," Vader said with disregard.

"I can't escape, please would you take those off…my lord?" Luke tried to be respectful despite his anger towards the tormentor.

Vader waved his hands, the binds came out.

Luke was surprised. "Thank you, my lord." He said as he sat up and wiped the tears out of his face.

"Why did you kill my parents?"

Vader held Luke by the shoulders and pressed hard. "I didn't come here to discuss that! Listen to me very careful, you are not to ask me any questions, don't speak until you are spoken, I will not warn you again, understood?"

Luke nodded.

Suddenly Luke was thrown across the room with the force. "Are you deaf, boy? when I ask you a question and I demand an answer!"

"I…I am sorry, my lord…I understand…"

Luke slowly got up. He was trying to be cautious to avoid further punishment.

"What kind of skills you have?" Vader asked.

"I am good in fixing things, my lord, and…"

"And?"

"I can pilot."

Vader sensed the immense fear in the boy which stirred up his strength with the force. "Was Obi Wan your master?"

"Master? No."

Vader sensed the truth.

"Why were you there with him?"

"I went after the astromech droid that had gone to him to deliver a message."

"What message?"

Luke hesitated. /Why would I tell him?

Without warning Vader pushed the boy towards him and held him by the throat. His eyes met the terrified boy as he rampage to the boy's mind causing enormous pain.

Luke could not resist, he was never trained.

/help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope/

Vader released Luke's mind, Luke felt on his knees and braced himself in pain, the dark lord left the cell.

"What is thy bidding, my master?" Vader knelt as he spoke to the emperor holonet.

"I felt a great disturbance in the force."

"I felt too, master. I have found a force sensitive boy in Tatooine. He suppose to be Skywalker's nephew."

"A nephew?"

"His name is Luke Lars. He is the son of Skywalker's stepbrother. Obi Wan was planning to train him as a Jedi. I killed Obi Wan and I took the boy with me, he is strong with the force master, he could be used to serve us."

"Yes…bring him to me, I shall then decide his fate."

"As you wish, my master."

Leia sat on her cell. She had been crying.

Darth Vader entered and she recoils.

"Your highness, your attempt of taking the plans have failed. You shall stand trial for treason against the empire."

She didn't say a word, just sat back and cried more.

Luke was working with the mechanics and he was doing wonders.

"Hey Lars, where did you learn to do this, I heard you came from Tatooine?"

"Yes, I don't know I just do it," he said with pride.

"I'm Dack."

"I'm Luke."

"You just…" Dack suddenly stopped. Luke was working in the shuttle's engine and noticed that the whole place was suddenly silenced. Luke continued working with a wrench.

"Luke…" Dack whispered, then Luke realized that the hissing breathing noise invated the room.

Darth Vader strode across towards Luke. He immediately stood up startled.

"My lord," he said.

"Come with me," Vader said as he pushed Luke towards the exit.

Luke walked and noticed all terrified eyes of the crew were on him.

Luke didn't speak. He knew he was not suppose to talk unless he is talked to.

"Pay attention, Luke. We are going to see the emperor. You will kneel before him and answer to all his questions, understood?"

"Yes, my lord."

/What should I call him? Lord/

"You will call him master," Vader said in response to Luke's thoughts. Luke startled /He can read minds./

Throne room.

Palpatine surrounded the young man who was afraid to pass out of fright. Vader was terrifying enough but the emperor had a surge of evil tenfold. Luke could feel it.

"You are right, lord Vader. He is indeed strong…"

"You may start training him, lord Vader, then bring before me and I will complete his training."

"As you wish, master."

Luke remained on his knees and looking down. Palpatine held his chin up.

"You will obey lord Vader's at all times, no matter what he asks you to do, understood, young one?"

"Y-Yes, my…mas..ter."

Vader took Luke to a training room. He began to test the boy's abilities. In order to take him to the dark side he had to start to stir up anger in the boy so he took him to a torture room.

"This is what will wait for you if you disobey my orders."

Stormtroppers strapped Luke to the table. "But I haven't done anything, my lord.!"

"You just spoke to me without permission, therefore you have just disobeyed me."

Under the gaze of a terrified young man his first painful lesson had began.

Luke was working with the mechanic crew and also practice flying in the simulator. His scores was the highest. Vader was puzzled, there was something about that boy that made him uncomfortable. He reminded to much of him.

In the solitude of his quarters Luke thought about his parents. Immediately he brushed the thought aside.

Later Luke was training lightsaber with the droids. He got hurt by one droid and in a fit of rage he destroyed it. He felt a great surge of power inside him, the exploded in pieces.

"What have I done!" he whispers.

Vader was on the bridge when he felt the ripple of the force of rage within Luke.

Luke sensed danger as the dark lord opens the door. He gives a few steps backwards as Vader approaches him as he looks at the pieces of the training droids.

"Forgive me, my lord…I…"

"Silence! I will…"

Admiral Piett interrupted in the comlink. "Forgive me, my lord…"

"What is it Admiral?"

"My lord, the emperor wishes to talk to you immediately."

Vader turned off the comlink, "I'll deal with you later, young one!"

It had been months that Luke endured all trials and tortures. Every time he was more terrified. He wish he could only die.

"What is thy bidding, my master," Vader asked as he knelt.

"I have made up my mind about the boy. You must kill him lord Vader,

his strength with the force is growing too strong. He could destroy us. I have foreseen."

"When do you wish for me to do it, my master?"

"As soon as possible. He is far too dangerous to be allowed to live."

"It will be done, my master."

For twenty years he had done his master's bidding without a thought. But there was something about his nephew that was puzzling him. He had grown used to Luke, he was obedient and has always done his bidding. A thought came to him, what if he could

hide the boy and train him as a Sith, since the boy was becoming powerful he could join his powers against… No, he couldn't. He owed his master his life…but then again…

Luke felt Vader's presence outside the door. He lowered his head as the dark lord entered. Luke lowered his head and Vader observed him for a few seconds. He was there to end the boy's life so he thought that he could give the boy a more pleasant day as his last. He thought about the first time he met the boy when he foolish tried to defend his parents, he would take Luke to his parents now, he thought.

"We are going to Tatooine today, and you are going to be the pilot," Vader said

Luke was surprised. Vader felt the boy's contentment but he managed not to say anything, as he has been told.

/He was going to pilot/ He actually worked out a smile of happiness. "You may also speak freely,"

"Thank you, my lord!" he bowed in respect.

Vader noticed how Luke was piloting, it brought him back on time twenty years…no, that was Anakin, not me.Luke landed in outskirts. They left the shuttle and walked towards his old place.

"Why are we here, my lord?"

"We are going to the place I found you."

They arrived of what was left of the Lars home." It brought memories of his parents. Luke wanted to cry but he was afraid that the dark lord would punish him for

expressing feelings. Luke walked towards the old house which was only rubles.

"Stop!" commanded the dark lord.

Luke obeyed.

"Kneel," Vader ordered.

Luke went down on his knees. He heard the humming of the light saber.

"My lord! Why?" Luke spoke out of despair.

"My master have ordered."

"What have I done wrong, my lord?"

"It is not my place to question him."

Vader approached with his lightsaber.

"Please…my..l-lord, may I ask you for one last favor?"

"Yes," he said as he took the lightsaber into view.

Luke was shaking, he let his tears were pour freely now because he knew his life was going to end there.

" Since I am to die anyway, I just wish you would grant me my last request…please."

"And what is it?" Vader asked.

"When you strike me, would you please use my lightsaber.."

"Why?"

Luke tried to speak as best as he could, he was shaking. "I was an adopted child, my lord, that…that lightsaber belonged to my real father…his name was Anakin Skywalker."

Vader stepped back a few steps. Luke thought that his respirator faltered because no sound came out, suddenly Vader felt unconscious.

Luke didn't know what happened, it took a few seconds to realize that the dark lord was down. He felt the breathing again, which meant he was alive. /What should I do/ If he stayed he knew it would be the end of him. He took his father's lightsaber and run towards Mos Eisley.

When Vader came to his senses he noticed that the boy was gone, so was Anakin's lightsaber.

/He is my son! How? Padme was../

His mind was throwing back years…/you killed her/ His master had lied to him. It was all a lie. The past cannot be undone, but the future. He had to find him.

His son.

Luke was searching for a way out. He saw a wookie fixing up a ship along with another man. They were discussing.

"No Chewie, you have to connect this to the generator!"

Growl!

"You guys need help?" Luke asked.

"I can fix anything." Luke approached the two. "See, this goes here, than you have to link these too the get the parallel connection, try now."

"Chewie tuned on the switch and the power was restored."

"Wow, kid, that was great! I'm Solo. Han Solo."

"Luke..L..Skywalker."

"Do you need a job?"

"I need a passage. I need to get out of here."

"Ok, I guess you got yourself a ship. This is Chewie."

"Hi, Chewie."

Growls! Growls!

"Welcome to the Millennium Falcon!"
