I do not own Star Wars that is the genius George Lucas.

Its My Own Destiny

Reload

Luke clung to the electronic weather vane beneath the surface of Cloud City. With one hand and no energy not even the force could help him now.

"Ben... Ben, please! Ben. Leia!"

Feeling the Force and Leia, Luke used his remaining strength to connect with the Princess, even thought she is not Force trained her presence was as clear to him as a candle in a dark room, shinning out across the Galaxy.

"Hear me! Leia!"

Vader stormed across the platform, his two aides tailing along behind him, they could tell their Lord was not happy and best to keep as much distance as they dared.

"Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival" he commanded, there was still a chance, he could feel Luke, he would capture him, it was his sons destiny and his to rule the Galaxy together…..as Father and Son!

Luke was now nearly unconscious, as he hung upside-down on the weather vane, his body fighting against the wind, the weight of his body and with his one hand remaining, if Leia didn't arrive soon, he would be lost to the planet of Bespin.

"Look, someone's up there."

Hearing Lando, Leia looked up.

"It's Luke. Chewie slow down. Slow down and we'll get under him. Lando, open the top hatch."

Lando rushed out of the cockpit.

As the Falcon positioned itself under Luke, he felt a wave of relief wash over him, preparing himself to fall into the ships hatch. Lando moved up through the opening of the hatch, as it pops open with a hiss of pressure. Lando reaches out to help

the battered warrior inside the ship as Luke dropped into it.

Three TIE fighters race toward the Falcon, firing away. "Lando?" Leia called through the intercom "Okay, let's go". The Falcon raced away but was closely followed by the TIE fighters.

Leia laid Luke down on the cot, wrapping his injured arm in a protective cuff.

She gently wipes his face. Concern over her face was clear, first she lost Han, now she had to look upon the face of her closet friend who she had looked at as a brother the ship lurched again as the TIEs continued to fighter. "I'll be back." Leia whispered softly kissing him, then leavening the quarters.

The cockpit was going crazy, alarm buzzers sounded and flashing lights on the control panel were beginning to concern Lando. "What has he done to my ship" Lando thought, if Han was here he'd give him a good beating. Leia, watching over their shoulders, recognizes the

Shape of the new ship that had appeared.

"Star Destroyer."

"All right, Chewie. Ready for light-speed."

"If your people fixed the hyper drive."

"Punch it!"

Vader stood on the bridge of the Executer looking out the window as Admiral Piett approached him.

"They'll be in range of our tractor beam in moments, my lord."

"Did your men deactivate the hyper drive on the Millennium Falcon?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Good. Prepare the boarding party and set your weapons for stun."

"Soon my son, I shall have you" Vader thought to himself and those friends of his should come in handy when turning him to the Dark Side.

"Noisy brute. Why don't we just go into light-speed?" C3PO commented to Artoo, as Chewie came cursing into the compartment.

Artoo beeped in response.

"We can't? How would you know the hyper drive is deactivated?"

Artoo whistled knowingly.

"The city's central computer told you? Artoo-Detoo, you know better than to trust a strange computer. Ouch! Pay attention to what you're doing!"

Vader stood on the bridge, watching as the Millennium Falcon is chased by the TIE fighters. The tractor beam should be ready any minute, but maybe….

"Luke."

"Father." He could feel him, he was so close, No! Luke could feel the feeling of defeat in him, but also the acceptance of the truth, Vader was his father!

"Son, come with me."

Moaning Luke called out through the Force "Ben, why didn't you tell me?" He couldn't lay here. He had to know what was happening.

As Luke entered the cockpit and looked out the window, he could barely stand with pain and depression. Watching Lando and Leia struggling with the controls of the Falcon.

"Chewie!" Lando yelled through the intercom, receiving a growl of despair back from Chewie.

"It's Vader." Luke whispered looking at the great ship.

He could hear him again.

"Luke... it is your destiny." Would it always be like this now?

"Ben, why didn't you tell me?" he asked again, wishing for an answer.

Onboard the Star Destroyer Admiral Piett was very happy with himself, everything was going so well

"Alert all commands. Ready for the tractor beam."

Artoo raced to a control panel and starts working on a circuit board. Furious, Threepio stands on one leg, yelling.

"Artoo, come back at once! You haven't finished with me yet! You don't know how to fix the hyperdrive. Chewbacca can do it. I'm standing here in pieces, and you're having delusions of grandeur!"

Artoo moved a circuit on a control panel. "This should work!" the little droid thought. Suddenly there was a sound of an explosion as the ship was hit directly by one of the TIES, Artoo was thrown across the ship landing in a heap…the ship rocked losing power fast!

Leia glanced at Lando, she knew what was going t happen, so did Lando by the scared look on his face, Vader would not let being betrayed go unpunished. She glanced around at Luke his face was twisted in pain, however it did not look like the pain he had when he first came into the ship, it was more like he had a terrible thought along with a headache, then that of the lose of a hand.

The ship suddenly rocked and began heading towards the ship.

They all sat still, none daring to breath, Chewie, Artoo and C3PO, entered the cockpit, even the droids, though emotionless, seem scared.

"Shut down all power Lando, Chewie and prepare to fight"

She may be down but she wasn't out, if she was going to be captured they have to take her down fighting and she was planning to take down as many as possible.

As the ship entered the Docking bay, Luke could see about hundred stormtroopers and…..Vader.

He sighed, this was it, he might as well just give up and walk down the ramp to meet him. Looking up at Leia he could see the determined look on her face, she was a Rebel all the way, an inspiration, Lando and Chewie were looking at her, listening intently as she told them to prepare to go down fighting!

Standing up Luke looked at Leia as she glanced at him,

"Give me a weapon Leia; I can still use this hand"

Leia smiled and kissed his cheek, "OK Luke, but stay backs a bit"

The doors to the ship opened and the ramp was lowering… the group of rebels positioned themselves as best they could, ready for the storm troopers…. What they weren't ready for was…..Vader.

Vader marched up the ramp as fast as man half his age would, using the force, he pushed them all to the floor and disarmed them, while troopers ran up the ramp and started firing stun bolt at the rebels. Vader glanced around, finally seeing Luke a little further back. He strode over to the boy and bent over him, even unconscious, he could see the pain on his face, could feel his mind a tortured mess that could rival his own, and he had done this.

Straightening, he turned to the captain, "Get a stretcher in here now and get this one to the Medical ward. NOW!"

"Yes Sir!" as they hurried off, Vader turned to the remaining Troopers, "As for these, to the High Security Detention Block"
