OUT OF THE DARK AND INTO THE LIGHT.

Vader discovers Luke when he is 15, with the truth revealed Luke finds questioning everything he thinks he knows. Will he turn to the darkside, join Vader, overthrow the Emperor and rule the galaxy with him as Father and Son? Or will Vader come to love the son he never knew, and finally fulfill his destiny? Suitless Vader.

PROLOGUE.

He quaked in fear, staring at Darth Vader in terror. "No," he was not going anywhere with him! Shaking his head, Luke backed away, turned and ran; if he could make it to his speeder, he would be able to get away_

A solid wall blocked his path

Luke froze, this was not happening, this could not be happening!

"You have nothing to fear," before Luke had even heard him move, Vader wrapped an arm around his body, holding him immobile despite his desperate struggles; his chest heaving as he breathed fast and shallow, dizziness threatened and his vision began to darken.

"Let me go!" When his struggles continued to prove futile, Luke began to sob. "Please... I haven't done anything wrong... just let me go..."

"You are not going to be harmed, young one." Vader's voice was oddly gentle, "but you will not be staying here." Luke felt Vader's grip shift, "we're going back to the ship."

Luke began to struggle again, "you cant just take me... This is my home!"

"Not anymore," Vader continued to walk, forcing Luke to move with him.

He had come to Tatooine, after the rumours had begun; Rumours of a Jedi living on the planet, he hadn't found the Jedi - instead he had found his son, a son he had never known existed.

Vader gripped the boy's arm tightly, taking him back to the ship; Luke, his son's name was Luke Skywalker. "Let me go!" His son's fist collided with his face, staggering slightly, Vader felt his grip loosen and Luke pulled free.

Luke ran back the way they had come, he had to get away, could not let himself be caught again. he got only a few meters before the invisible force slammed into him, thrusting him to the ground; held immobile, Luke could only sob as he heard the footsteps approaching. Hands lifted him to his feet and he found himself looking up into Vader's face.

"Very impressive, young one." His lips twitched slightly, "but I would not try that again if I were you." Taking hold of his arm again, Vader started to walk_

Luke dug his feet into the ground, refusing to move.

Vader frowned and tugged Luke's arm, "walk."

"No."

Cocking his head, Vader raised an eyebrow. "You can either walk voluntarily of your own free will, or you can be carried kicking and screaming." Looking at his son, Vader shrugged, "the choice is entirely up to you."

Luke didn't move, glancing back the way they had come, he sighed and his shoulders slumped. "Why can't you just let me go?"

"Because you don't belong here, you belong with me." Vader looked into his son's eyes, "I am your father Luke."

Shaking his head, Luke jerked in Vader's grip. "You're lying!" He had to be, "my father was Anakin Skywalker, he was a navigator on a spice freighter, and he was not a murderer!"

Vader blinked, then he laughed. "A navigator on a spice freighter?" It was ludicrous, " That's the bet lie they could come up with?"

Luke struggled and cursed, "my Aunt and Uncle didn't lie to me, you're the liar!" He swore and twisted in Vader's grip, "Let me go!"

"No," Vader pushed him forward, "move."

When he still refused to move, Luke felt an invisible force push against his back, shoving him forward; he staggered and would have fallen if Vader hadn't jerked him upright, the hand gripping his arm was cruelly tight. "Let go!' As he struggled, the already painfully tight grip, tightened again. Luke gasped and froze, "please, let go..." The grip didn't loosen, tears sprang to his eyes from the pain. "You're hurting me."

"Stop struggling and walk quietly, and I will loosen my grip." Vader told him, moving forward again, this time Luke followed; as promised, the moment he took his first step forward, Vader's grip loosened - slightly.

"Let him go."

Luke felt his heart soar at Ben's voice, he was saved!

"Obi-wan." Vader snorted, "so you're the Jedi I have been sent to kill." He shook his head, "I was hoping for a challenge."

"Let him go, and you'll get one."

Luke frowned, confused as he looked from Vader to Ben, to the lightsaber held in Ben's hand, he was a Jedi? "Ben, what's going on?"

Vader chuckled, "you can't even use your own name?" Sighing, he shook his head. "I would love nothing more than to kill you right here and now," he said quietly, "but I have more important things to deal with."

Obi-wan ignited his lightsaber, "I will not let you take him."

"He is my son, I can, and will take him." Vader wrapped an arm around Luke, drawing him close against him. "Unless you want to fight and risk hurting Luke, I suggest you leave now."

"Ben tell him" Luke's voice shook, "tell him he's wrong, tell him I'm not his son!"

Obi-wan closed his eyes, "I'm sorry Luke." This wasn't how he had wanted him to find out the truth, "I'm so sorry."
