Sorry for the delay. I will finish what I have started… (Master Yoda's advice…)
Everything belongs to the maker…George Lucas. I am only having fun.
I am also back from attending Star Wars Celebration IV, it's been amazing!
Joy Ride – Chapter 6
Luke entered the vessel with the other storm troopers and gasped inside the suit when he saw the young Princess unconscious.
"I will take her to the detention center," Luke paused them waved his hands. "I will take her alone."
Luke scooped up the Princess, gently and took her away.
Darth Vader left the conference room with his meeting with Moff Tarkin and General Motti when he received communications about the capture of the Princess and her transportation to the Detention Level.
"My daughter," Vader thought.
The conflict within the Dark Lord was building up. He had the duty to interrogate the Princess about her actions with the Alliance, but he also didn't want to hurt his child, he had regrets in hurting Luke, but then he didn't know the boy's identity, but hers he knew and he was disturbed with the fact that he had to perform his duties, as a Sith in the name of the Empire. He tapped into the Force to remain loyal to his task at hand and headed towards the Detention Center.
Luke placed the unconscious Princess on the co-pilot chair of a Tydirium Shuttle and immediately sends the ship towards hyperspace.
Vader felt a great disturbance in the Force.
"Luke!" Vader sent a mental call but he already knew the boy was no longer there.
Luke observed the stars as he piloted the shuttle. Princess Leia started to awake and she immediately jumped out of her seat.
"What? Where am I?" she sounded jumpy.
"Calm down, your Highness. You are safe now."
"Who are you?" she asked still groggily from the blaster stun bolt.
"I am Luke Skywalker and I just rescued you." Leia frowned. "You are a storm trooper, even though you seem too short…where are you taking me?"
"I set the course to Dagobah."
"Dagobah? Why?"
"There is someone who can help us."
"What do you mean by us? I am the one in trouble."
"I wish this were the true, but I am in very deep now."
Vader entered his chambers and tapped into the Force. He sensed a loss. The boy, his children had escaped. He concentrated in finding the possible location of his children.
"Who is the person you are seeking?" Leia asked still not believing the young man wearing the storm trooper suit.
"His name is Yoda. He is a Jedi Master."
"A Jedi! But I thought that…"
"You know the Jedi too?"
"The Jedi order served my father, I had to…but why are you asking this? You could as well be a spy to get me talking."
"No, Leia…I mean, your Highness. I am not and I can prove that."
She started at him with her brown eyes.
"I want you to prove it."
"I know that you are adopted."
Leia gasped. "How do you know that?"
"I know who your father is."
"What do you mean? He is, my biological father is dead."
"Do you know his name?"
"No, I was only told that he was a Jedi and that Vader killed him."
"Who told you that?"
"My father, I mean…my adoptive father. Why are you asking about this?"
"I got some information from the Galactic Database, check it out," Luke took the data disk and gave it to Leia. "See for yourself"
Leia placed the disk into the computer and read the information.
She gasped as she looked at the screen.
"Anakin Skylwalker? If he is my biological father then you…"
"I am your brother, Leia."
"How?"
"I am your twin, your Highness."
Leia started to accept that story as a fact.
"So that's why you want to rescue me."
"There is more, but it won't be easy but you must know."
"Where is he?"
"He will be hunting us."
"Hunting?"
The shuttle entered the Dagobah atmosphere.
"We arrived, we must find Yoda soon."
"Luke, you haven't answered, what do you mean by hunting?"
"Very well, my sister. Our biological father goes by another name," Luke turned away already anticipating the shock he was going to cause.
"Another name? What name?"
Luke sighed and replied. "Darth Vader."
Tbc…
