"Aside from some battels during the clone wars nothing of importance ever happened on this planet. all the troopers left during the final days of the republic. Just a little settlement on the other side of the planet"

"What kind of settlement?"

"Small, perhaps smuggler kind of one!"

"you've brought us to one of your smugglers hideouts?"

"don't fret over it princess, if you didn't notice we were being chased by the imps your worshipfulness"

"We should leave this place Han!"

"We're being hunted down! We lay low until night. I wonder if you have noticed your highness but, we're being chased!"

Luke tuned them out as he walked over to the edge of the cliff and stared over the vast land in his sight.

"well R2,it seems we would be staying here for quite a few hours! Not going to lie it's quite a change of sight. Very nice planet."Threepio said as it walked down the bridge with Artoo.

"oh my Master Luke! Master Luke, please come off the edge! It's quite dangerous!"

Luke ignored the droid and kept staring over the land.

"You see Artoo, no one ever listens to me! "The golden droid nagged.

Han looked over to where Luke stood and looked back at Leia, she nodded and they walked toward the young pilot.

"How you doing there Kid?" Han asked and put his hand on the younger male's shoulder.

he shrugged in response " I have a bad feeling about here!"

Han laughed. Leia sent him a glare by the corner of her eyes.

"No need to worry Luke, we'll be out of here by night & Chewie is checking this place out."

Leia assured him as she patted his back gently.

he shrugged again "there's an unease feeling to the force! "

a look of concern crossed Solo's face, in the corner of his eyes he could see Leia eyeing him. He hurriedly schooled his face and gave the boy a smile "Don't worry Luke. Nothing's gonna happen! "He

turned his neck back and eyed the vast forest behind them suspiciously. He didn't want to show it in front of the kid or the princess but Luke's feelings had the tendency of coming true!

the woods rustled he unconsciously reached for his pistol.

Chewbacca walked out of the woods and started talking.

"see "Han said "chewie's saying nothing to worry about"

Chewbacca said something more angrily this time.

"Alright, alright you big ball of fur. Let's go eat something" Han started walking towards the millennium falcon, followed by Leia, Threepio, and Artoo.

"You coming Luke? "Leia asked him when she reached the bridge.

Luke stared at the sky above. It was clear blue, not a single cloud in sight. He couldn't help but feel things were going to change drastically. "Yeah" he whispered and kept staring up.

"Hello There!"

"General Kenobi!" The trooper greeted him. "General Skywalker"

Anakin nodded in response and looked over the battlefield.

"we're happy to announce we've got rid of all the tri-fighters"

"Then our work is done here"

"Not so fast Anakin! commander Rex check the planet out. we should make sure nothing's hiding!" The trooper nodded and turned on his heel to order what was ordered to him.

Obi-Wan turned to his former Padawan "now Anakin Patience! We don't want to lose because we were impatient and didn't double-check before leaving!"

Anakin hung his head in shame "sorry my Master. I just got excited by the idea of going back to coruscant "

Obi-Wan put a hand on his shoulder " even I began to miss coruscant, my friend. Hopefully, we'll be back home soon!" The younger man gave him a smile before his scowl took it away & stared at his

Master " yes, I felt it too. There's an unease in the force. Be alert" he nodded and turned to call the troopers but the force engulfed them blinding them with nothing!

Luke stared at his bland ship lunch when he suddenly jolted up.

"Jeez kid, what the hell?" Han half shouted.

"We need to leave!"

The older man gave him a confused look "NOW HAN!" the younger one shouted and ran to the cockpit.

"You heard the kid chewie; we have to go!" and he followed Skywalker. the Wookie grumbled but nonetheless ran too!

Leia, feeling the urgency, decided to also follow the boys.

"It's not working!" Han shouted as he tried to get falcon to work" the whole system is off!"

chewie shouted and ran toward the main hall "hurry up chewie!"

Luke stared from the window. "Open the bridge Han"

Han gave him a confused look " you were we should run a second a go!"

"I don't think we can anymore!"

Han sighed and pressed the button as he watched Luke walking off.

"Oh God!" They heard Luke saying. Han and Leia looked at each other.

"What is it, Luke?" Leia asked.

"Force!" The two got up from their separate chairs and walked towards the bridge.

They walked down the bridge and watched stunned as the whole planet got engulfed in a white haze.

"We should probably go back inside" Leia said breathlessly

"yeah" Han agreed. But neither of them moved.

right there in front of their eyes, the Haze started to become less and behind it stood a legion full of stormtroopers with two men standing in front of them lightsabers out.

"Imps?" Han asked confused

Luke shook his head "Those two are Jedis" he paused " I think"

Han gave him a look " we should go kid" Luke nodded but before either of them could move a stormtrooper fired, aiming at Han. Luke unsheathed his lightsaber and deflected.

"Cody!" The supposed Jedi in the white robes and beard shouted "sorry general"

"From when did the stormtroopers have a name?" Leia muttered.

The Jedi from earlier stepped in their direction with the second one on his toes.

Chewbacca howled. the bearded one sheathed his lightsaber and put his hand up air.

The second one hesitated but followed the older male and sheeted his lightsaber.

"I see you're one of us friend. I have never seen you before. Did the senate send you?" the smaller one said.

They looked puzzled between themselves. "what the hell is he talking about?" Luke whispered.

"What senate?" Leia asked loudly.

"The Republic one!" The taller Jedi in black robe spoke for the first time.

"I don't know which rock you've been living under pal, but, the republic's been gone for 20 years!" Han answered back.

The taller one was about to say something when TIE fighters appeared.

"Fuck. They've found us!" Han cursed.

"Get in we're getting the hell out of here. kid get the guns"

Luke glanced back at the Jedis "but"

"Now Luke!" Han shouted as he climbed the bridge

Luke felt helpless but started walking nonetheless. He looked back one last time. The younger Jedi stared into his eyes and suddenly he felt cold.

Anakin stared into the young man's blue eyes as the ship's door closed. He watched as the ship took off and a battle started right above them. the white ship against several black ones.

"I have never seen such a ship. shall we help them, Master?"

Obi-Wan, deep in his thought, scowled. "did you notice his force signature Anakin?"

the latter nodded "quite bright" the older one nodded in agreement "it reminded me of you when we first met "

Anakin was taken back by the shock but he nodded in response. he thought back to that kid's blue eyes, there was something in there!

"Very well Anakin, I agree with you, they seem outnumbered perhaps we should help them" as they were walking towards their ship, more and more TIE fighters got shot down. a second or two Falcon was in outer space.

"well they're rather great fighters"

Anakin nodded. "they're probably in hyperspace now. Could they've been separatists? what was that comment about the Republic?"

Obi-Wan touched his beard. "I have a bad feeling about this Anakin. For now, let's lay low"

"Something is wrong with this place and force," he muttered.

"I've felt it too! As soon as that kid was gone the force felt dark and full of pain" Skywalker nodded in agreement.

Kenobi turned toward the troopers "Rex, get back to the underground tunnels lay low, and don't show yourself. General Skywalker and I will investigate" the trooper nodded "yes General!"

they watched as the troopers started gathering the equipment and organizing to go into their hiding.

"let's lay low Anakin.no names .hoods up"

the younger nodded" the only settlement is on the other side of the planet"

"well let's go then"

Force,this place felt wrong!

Chapter Text

"This place is full of smugglers and bounty hunters. & Smells terrible " and he scrunched his nose. the older man kept looking around "I have a bad feeling about this place, master"

The other nodded in agreement "make sure no one can see it & for the smell there's nothing we can do, hopefully, we'll be out soon" Obi-Wan answered for the first time since they've landed near the settlement.

They were in search of the sketchiest bar they could find in search of answers if everything went well.

"Does this one look sketchy enough for you?" the smaller man nodded & they entered.

The place was swarming with all kinds of smugglers and bounty hunters. Thick smoke of weed made a haze inside the room, with live music and some slave females dancing on the stage in the corner.

Anakin looked at their leashes and scowled in disgust. It was unbelievable that in a time of republic and democracy slavery was a quite apparent factor in the galaxy!

They walked toward the stool and sat down. "hey" protested a very apparent smuggler.

Obi-Wan waved his hand in front of him "you're gonna go and rethink your life decisions"

"I'm gonna go and rethink my life decisions" and stood up and walked off.

the bartender, a rather obese man, walked to them "what you want?"

"Two of what he had" Obi-Wan answered. The bartender turned his back to them.

"let's go check that one in the far corner. Perhaps he'll aid us" Anakin nodded.

"who's gonna pay?" the bartender grumbled.

They looked at each other. The younger Jedi waved his hand in front of him "you already paid. here are your drinks"

"You already paid, here are your drinks" they took their shots and got up.

" Are they all weak-minded fools here?" the younger one asked.

"We can only hope for my friend"

They sat down next to their target. "Hello my friend" the man, who they presumed to be a bounty hunter glared at them "what do you want?" he spat. Anakin waved his hand "you're gonna tell us what's going on"

"I'm gonna tell you what's going on" he crouched toward them "you see everyone here wants to take the big prize, to get Skywalker"

Kenobi side-eyed his former apprentice "what you've done now?" he mumbled to him. The younger man pulled his hood more into his face. "What had this Skywalker done?"

"Where do you hermits live? under a bloody rock? he's the one who blew up The Death Star!"

The Jedis looked at each other in confusion." what's his full name?" the taller Jedi asked.

"Luke Skywalker. Let me show you his face" and with that, he reached for his holo-tablet.

"here" he put it on his lap. "that's the kid" the hologram showed the kid from earlier.

Anakin took a big gulp of air "I've heard he's a Wanna-Be Jedi. Delusional kid, isn't he? but not gonna lie even I was happy that kid was successful in blowing that death machine up. You didn't know

where was going to be destroyed next cause the emperor got a little bit cranky!"

"You're gonna give us your tablet" Anakin said roughly. Obi-Wan turned toward him and mouthed 'don't' 

"I'm gonna give you the tablet, check it for yourself!" and handed him the device.

He hurriedly searched for one Luke Skywalker. and the notice of his bounty came up.

60000 credits for rebel scum Luke Skywalker responsible for the destruction of the death star
must be alive.

He could see more faces once he scrolled down which he recognized to be those who were with the kid, from earlier.

Captain Han Solo
Princess Leia
and a Wookie named Chewbacca

"Who's this emperor?" He heard his master mumble.

He quickly searched. 

After the betrayal of Jedis, Chancellor Palpatine, who was directly assaulted by the Jedi traitors and survived the attempt on his life, was elected by the senate to fully take control of the galaxy.
Our gracious emperor with the help of the keeper of peace, lord Darth Vader restored peace and security back to our galaxy.  

 Anakin took a shaky breath "it's Palpatine. He was the Sith lord all along "Obi-Wan placed a hand on his shoulder and looked behind them. "We have to go." Anakin turned back and saw a few of the

scums were on to them. He hurriedly closed the holo-net and threw the tablet back to that fool of a bounty hunter "thanks" he said and got up.

"Did you take all of us for a week-minded fools Jedi scums?" one of the green human-like creatures grumbled and more of them got up and suddenly everyone was pointing a blaster at them.

"After you master" Anakin said cheekily.

They both unsheathed their lightsabers and rain of laser and blaster shots fell upon them.

They deflected the shots and ran out of that godforsaken bar.

"Well, that was too easy" Kenobi said and by the power of jinx or perhaps it was their luck, people on the streets pointed their blasters at them.

they began to run toward where they landed their ships.

"There's no time. Let's get the hell out of this place"

"Take control chewie," Han said and got up from his seat in front of the control panel.

He could hear Leia who was on a call with Mon Mothma in the other room. He walked toward the main room.

There Luke sat all slumped and deep in thought.

"Hey kid" he said and ruffled the boy's hair." how's it hanging?" the younger man just shrugged in response. Han sat down next to him and put a gentle hand on his small back.

"I'm sorry we had to rush kid. I know how much it means to you to learn the Jedi way"

"It's ok Han. You've made the right call" Luke answered back.

he rubbed his back " we'll find you another set of space wizards to learn from" Luke chuckled.

Leia walked toward them. "it seems we're still on the assignment" she sat next to Luke. Han rested his hand on the sofa back of Luke's back and Leia put a gentle hand on the young pilot's back " you ok
there Luke?"

"yeah," he  mumbled.

"So, princess what are we gonna do with our new friends? two Jedis and stormtroopers with names." 


Leia frowned " they were rather strange" she agreed.

Luke's frown came to his face.

"What is it, kid?"

"They came there by force. I felt that"

"What do you suggest?" Leia asked

"I know I sound crazy but what if they come from the past? stormtroopers were around during the clone wars. Jedis were generals back then. and the bearded one. He felt familiar."

he took a big gulp of air "he felt like Ben. and there was something about the one in black."

They both look with shock " I have a feeling that they're important and not with the empire."

"So, Padme's pregnant?" He heard Obi-wan in his comms.

"Sorry Master. I wanted to tell you but I was scared" he said.

"I knew about You and Padme, Anakin. You're not as sneaky as you think you are"

Anakin chuckled in response.

"She's a senator Anakin."

knowing very well what he meant "I'll never do that to Padme. We're married," he said rather loudly.

"How long?"

he sighed "three years"

he heard Kenobi's breath hitch "while you were my Padawan!" He heard the shock in the other man's voice and silence fell on them.

"Anakin, I'm not angry at you. I'm merely disappointed in both of us that you couldn't trust me to tell me so" The older Jedi broke the silence after a while.

"I was scared Obi-Wan," he said softly.

"I want you to tell me anything regardless of how bad you think it is and how scared you are my boy"

"Alright," he answered softly

"And well, everyone knows about you and Padme. Hell, there's even a poll going on between the troopers" 

He felt his cheek turning red in embarrassment. "Speaking of troopers master"

"Yes, I know Anakin" he paused, "Now they're with the empire. hopefully, ours are not gonna be found"

His grip on the control tightened. Palpatine. He couldn't believe it. "That rat was playing with us. making us fight his orchestrated war. He pawned with us and played us. he's gonna pay for this. I make
sure of that" Anakin said, anger and hate quite evident in his tone.

"Be careful Anakin. Anger is the path to the dark side." his master warned him." Besides, we have more important things to deal with. we need to find your son first"

Yeah, apparently he was a Dad now! He missed 19 years of his unborn child's life. but nonetheless, he was a Dad! He didn't know why he was so nervous!

"They were two of them, sir. they've hidden their face with their robes but they used Jedi mind tricks and had lightsabers."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes sir"

"Very well. The empire will reward you for your assistance in getting rid of traitors"

"Thank you sir" he closed the commlink.

"Contact Admiral Piett."

"Yes sir"

They stared out of the cockpit's window. star destoryes were surrounding the planet. Han had shot all of the devices off and stuck the falcon under one of the huge imperial navy ones.

"What could they want from the outer rim, practically good for nothing planet like Vehra?"

Luke stared out at the planet. 

Here lies Pain, Pain, Death, many Deaths, so unbelievable amount of Death.

He closed his eyes.

Leia turned toward Han "Is there any chance of landing on the surface?"

Han huffed "it's suicide, Princess"

"So, you won't be able to?"

The smuggler raised an eyebrow " who said anything about not being able to? You're talking to the best captain in the whole damn galaxy milady. and don't forget about the best ship out there!"

Leia smiled in victory.

Chewie growled. Han turned his neck to look at him. "What do you mean I'm easily riled up and persuaded?"

Torture, Blood, Pain 

Luke took a deep breath. and focused on little murmurs of the force.

Power, Death, Power 

"You good there, kid?" Han asked. He opened his eyes and saw Leia staring at him with a look of concern on her face.

"They're out there looking for something. something that they can use as a weapon" 

"Perhaps we should ditch now"  Han said trying to lighten up the atmosphere.

"NO!" Luke shouted. Both Han & Leia turned fully and stared at him.

"I'm sorry" he hung his head low "I didn't mean to shout, it's just very important to get our assignment done. that's it!" He tried to reason for his outburst.

Han turned back and faced the view. he started punching buttons " you know kid that we won't ditch no matter what" he paused. "It's the force thing, isn't it?" He turned his head to take a look at the

younger male's posture. his shoulders were slumped and his hand was on his lightsaber." I don't know what's happening with you or the force, but if you have to tell someone we're here" 

Luke fastened his lightsaber to his trousers' belt. and said nothing.

Han turned back and grabbed the control." everyone brace yourself, we're about to be hit with a thousand little banthashits of imperial fighters" 

"I'll get the guns" the younger pilot announced and got up from his seat and walked out of the cockpit to the corridor and off to one of the two guns' controls room.

Leia came to the edge of her seat.

"Let him be Leia. He'll need some time on his own. And he'll be fine shooting some imperial bastards "

She glanced back, concern still quite evident in her eyes. Han's grip on his control hardened.

"Something must've changed in the force since we met those Jedis" 

She stared at him " I thought you don't believe in the force"

"I'm not a fool, princess. The kid has definitely some powers"

"I never took you for a fool, Solo"

Han smiled.

Two TIE fighters came on their visions. "We've been found, people. brace yourself for another episode of a dogfight in space with a bunch of brainless imps" Han exclaimed as he maneuvered the falcon to dodge the shots.






Trust in the force Luke 

He sighed. after the siting of those two Jedis, he hadn't heard of Obi-Wan.no matter how many times he called out to the ghost of one old Jedi master, Kenobi never appeared.

in the corner of his eyes, he saw two TIE fighters coming at them.

Han was a pro, he dodged laser shots like a piece of cake. but that was not enough. he watched their moves and lowered the control. 


The one bearded Jedi looked at him with interest "I see you're one of us friend. I have never seen you before. Did the senate send you?" he asked him.

They all were puzzled "what the hell is he talking about?" he whispered.

Leia took the lead, like the politician she was" What senate?"

"The Republic one!" The taller Jedi in black robe spoke for the first time.

He turned and stared at his blue eyes, unmistakably so like his own set of eyes. he looked the man up and down. He had a scar near his eyes. the tall Jedi stared right back at him.

Suddenly cold crept into him. A dreadful kind of cold that sent chills to the center of his bones. that kind of cold that carried darkness. A heavy suffocating kind of darkness. He could hear Han saying something to them.

His Lightsaber was activated, blue light illuminating the corridor.

Luke, 

he heard Ben " Ben is that you?" "Ben he's here. Darth Vader. the man who killed my father. who killed you" he took his stand "I have to face him. I have to end him" 

The breathing sound got louder 

Luke listen to me carefully 

He came face to face with the Sith lord, Red lightsaber in his hand, his cape flowing and ready to take him and slash him into pieces  

Run 

He blinked and saw that Jedi again . the cold was there. The cold that associated itself with those respirators' breathing .





"I've killed very many fathers. you'll have to be more specific "

He beat and mocked him and took his lightsaber right from his hands

"Get in, we're getting the hell out of here. kid get the guns" Han shouted. he blinked and he was back at the smugglers' hideout planet with two Jedis and a legion of stormtroopers studying every single

of their moves. and imperial TIE fighters dancing in the sky, coming more dangerously toward them.

he glanced back at the Jedis "but" he protested

"Now Luke!" Han shouted as he climbed the bridge. 

Han was right. He didn't know if they were friends or foes. TIE fighters had found them. and they were the most wanted people in the entire galaxy. But they were Jedis. They had blue lightsabers. like

his dads. It was the only chance he had to learn the way of force. to finally be a Jedi. to avenge his dad and Ben. To face Him. He felt helpless. But Han was right. he glanced back at those blue eyes.

He felt cold.







He blinked and watched the last of TIE fighters falling to his shots. 

"Good job Kid" Han Shouted and Chewie shouted cheerfully in his own language too.

He blinked and looked out of the window. He had shot all the TIEs but he was too deep in his memories he didn't even register doing so.

There was an unease to the force. He thought back to few days ago. they came out of nowhere. 

force was with them. 

"We'll be landing Luke" he heard Leia. He let go of the control and sat back on the chair. 

how many TIE fighters did he shoot down? How could he not even remember what he was doing?

He could feel the force's unease around him. The force was murmuring around him. He couldn't tell what it was. but he felt this before when he fought Darth Vader. It happened again when he met the Jedis.

Was it the force's way to tell him he met a powerful force user?

a powerful foe? he scowled.

he touched his lightsaber. it was still there. He took a breath and closed his eyes.


The tall Jedi in a black robe was staring into his blue orbs and he could hear Darth Vader's breathing, getting closer and closer.


He gasped out & shot his eyes open!

the hair on the back of his neck rose.

The falcon landed gently on the earth below.

Chapter Text

The sky was turned red, thick dust made it hard to see around. If one had a strong sense of smell, he could truly smell hints of blood that were spread all over the planet.

Distinct shooting sounds could be heard from afar.

"Oh, Maker!" Threepio exclaimed once it walked down the bridge.

"There's nothing left here and it's quite unsafe. Perhaps it's better if we'll be off, Masters"

Han put his hand on the protocol droid's mouth "you shut it" he hissed at him and grabbed his blaster from his belt and took a step forward and stood in front of Luke and Leia.

The princess already had her blaster in her hand, her left hand on her right wrist supporting it for an accurate aim.

Luke stood there and looked around.

The planet was in its shambles. Not the first one caused by the empire and certainly won't be the last one as long as they ruled.

At least in Jedha, partisans fought, however insignificant it might've been. but this planet felt like it had already surrendered to its unfortunate fate. he closed his eyes. There was only sadness.

Luke reached for his blaster.

Leia stepped forward "let's go everyone"

There was a city in their view.

white stone buildings made of quartzite. On average it seemed they had 7 floors.

They were designed with carvings of creatures, which they had never seen before.

In front of the city, there was this huge arch-like gate with two statue figures guarding it.

Both the statues and the gate were at least 400 feet tall.

Luke looked up to see the statues better.

They were two men in the hood. Face completely hidden by their hoods. Both wore long robes. The one on the left had a sword with carvings on its handle, the tip of it rested on the ground while both

its hands rested on its handle. On the other hand, the right one had a book in its right hand designed with different types of flowers and an orb in his left.

There on top of the gate's arch, something was written.

"Threepio, what does it say?" Luke asked.

"Everyone shall pass but only those who can pass shall leave"

Luke cocked his head.

"C'mon, let's marvel another time at old riddles " Han said. Chewbacca grabbed Luke's arm gently and started walking.

Luke unconsciously turned back and saw golden writing appear at the back of the arch.

"Wait," he shouted, jostling everyone a little.

"What?" Han shouted, surprised.

He pointed to the writing that appeared "what's that?" They frowned

"It wasn't there a second ago" Leia stated.

"Mistress, may I?" Threepio interjected. Leia nodded at him.

"It says, May the force be with you"

Han took a deep shaky breath "great" he mumbled under his breath. he turned and looked at the younger male." be on alert kid" Luke reached for his light saber. Good, it was still there and nodded in response.

They were in the middle of a city with a connection to the force, which was under a raid from the empire that wanted their head, and they had no knowledge whatsoever that could help them.

The air was still. The only sounds were their breathing and the little pitter patter of their steps.

"I have a bad feeling about this " Luke mumbled and turned back to double-check whether they've been followed or not.

"I know kid, I know" Han mumbled.

Leia fidget in her place a little "it's not that bad" she tried to install a feeling of safety.

"we'll be fine. we were in way worse situations!" she continued but couldn't help the bad feeling in her stomach.

Luke closed his eyes and reached for the force.

It was still.no chirping like it usually had.

The streets were made of stone tiles. The whole city had a thing for stones. It felt old. like this city stood for many centuries until the empire happened.

"So where do you think this thing that they're looking for is?" Han asked as he observed the vast number of buildings.

Not far from where they were, stood a palace, made of black granite stone. It was a four-story building with hundreds of windows but all the glass seemed to be shattered. in front of it, tens of columns

with carvings supporting it. It seemed there was no door. At the end of the columns, it led to a dark hall.

"Let's take a look around before entering that pit of darkness," Leia said.

They walked around the palace." There" she pointed.

It stood a building, yet again with many columns in front of it.

"Is that an office building?"

"It seems so Captain Solo" Threepio answered. "It says governing house of Vehra"

"I'll check out that creepy palace, you guys try to find out if there's anything in their archives"

Artoo chirped. "Well, what got you so sentimental now?"Threepio asked annoyed. Artoo kept chirping.

"What is it saying, Threepio?"

"Trust in the force master Luke"

He looked at the little droid and nodded "alright. Thanks, Artoo. Good luck"

"Yeah. you too kid. And if you're not here in 45 minutes I'll be coming and dragging your ass back to falcon"

He chuckled "alright alright"

"Keep in touch Luke," Leia said.

They watched as the young pilot turned and walked back toward the palace.


Luke walked back, once he reached the corner he turned and looked back. Han & Leia & chewie were in. He continued walking.

There was something about this place. about the whole city. The force was strong but rather muted.

He reached the front. and looked over the structure. It was weird, somehow terrifying too. for all the city, statues and payments were made of white stones but this place alone was made of black ones.

He activated his lightsaber. and entered the labyrinth of the columns.

The place had a chill in it. The force felt like someone who had held their breath in anticipation and fear.

"We watched you enter Luke Skywalker" a cold voice said, voice free of any sort of emotions.

The icy voice made his hair rise. He turned toward the sort. There was a hooded figure on the far left, hidden in the shadows.

"How do you know my name?" he asked.

"Your name is sung by the force, like another name which it sang many years ago"

a voice from his right said. He turned and saw another hooded figure.

The figure on his left came forward. He unsheathed his sword, it was a metal sword, the exact same design as the one from the gate's left statue.

He shook it and it illuminated a bright blue colour. It was a metal sword but it was as if it was a lightsaber.

"What business brings you here young one?" the left one growled and pointed his sword toward him.

The one on the right came forward. He held a book with flower carvings in his right hand.

Both faces were hidden under their hood and they both were wearing long robes.

Oh God!

They were the same as the statues.

They Were The Statues!

"No need for any threats brother" he told his counterpart. The left one lowered his sword.

"Tell us young Luke, what brings you here to this dying place?" the right one asked.

"Force told me so"

"Is that so? " the left one said.

"What else Luke?" the right one pressured him

"No lies Skywalker. The lies die here as do their sire" the left one said and came forward toward him.

he sighed and lowered his lightsaber "it felt like there was some sort of power here which the empire's trying to harvest it. it felt like pain and death"

the two figures started circling him.

"Well, young Luke. The force was right" the right one said.

he looked over his shoulder. The statue/person(?) was at his back "there was a power which was protected in this land. Our people would rather die over giving it up. and they did" he came face to face

with him and slowly raised his left hand. it was slashed from the wrist above.

"The darkness and regret were here"

Luke raised his eyebrow in confusion. who?

"Darth Vader was here" the left said.

Suddenly he could feel another force presence. He could hear a pair of boots striking toward them.

The tall Jedi in black robes from a few days ago was standing in front of him. Lightsaber activated, with on-guard posture and ready to attack. He had a penetrating look in his blue eyes.

"How curious " the right said. The left moved forward in front of Luke shielding him from the newcomer. Sword pointing at the new presence.

"Let him go" The Jedi roared

Left inched closer to the tall Jedi. "he'll be safer with me than he'll ever be with you"

Luke stared toward the Jedi. He couldn't really tell it last time, but that Jedi felt powerful.

He felt almost as powerful as Darth Vader.

"Brother please" the right one begged. the left pointed his sword down

"Force works in mysterious ways" he continued. "We mean no harm. Luke came to us to help but unfortunately, the darkness fell on us sooner"

the left moved away from the front of him.

He could register fighting sounds from outside. oh god, Leia & Han!

"I have to go. I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier" he stepped forward and the tall Jedi looked him up and down.

"The force is strong with you young Skywalker" the right stated "as it was with your father" he continued and faced the tall Jedi.

Luke turned back "what do you know of my father?" he asked, eyes wide open.

Right kept quiet. He felt the Jedi's hand on his left arm. He looked at them for another second but they stayed stubbornly quiet. "My friends need me" he stated and turned on his heels.

The Jedi let go of his arm.

"He became a man of many regrets" suddenly the left said loudly.

Luke and the Jedi turned sharply. He could see the Jedi's mouth open a little in surprise.

"The dark path leads to nothing. Be the light of this darkness, Luke. there's still a chance. Now run and get your friends out of here" the left continued.

He swallowed hardly and nodded. He felt the Jedi's hand grabbing his wrist.

"May the force be with you, Luke Skywalker" the right finally spoke.

with one last glance, the two-man ran out of the palace.

Leia and Han were shooting at stormtroopers with the breaded Jedi in front of them. Chewie was in the back and had opened fire like crazy upon the imps. The droids were by the ship.

He could see two fighters next to their own. The Jedis'.

The Jedi pulled him behind himself. Luke raised his eyebrow in confusion. the taller man started deflecting the shots with his lightsaber with an elegance he has never seen before. He quickly shook

himself out of the state of awe he fell and sheathed his lightsaber and grabbed his blaster and started aiming at the stormtroopers.

"Let's go kid" Han shouted and they started running toward the ships.

The bearded Jedi stood by until they reached him. As the three of them kept running, Luke shot those stormtroopers aiming at them without looking back twice.

"Nice aim, Luke!" he stated.

It seemed everyone knew his name now! Luke studied his features. Ben?

he was about to say something when Chewie hugged him from behind and roared, making the two Jedis jump a little. "Good to see you well too Chewie"

He could hear, Threepio and Artoo arguing. the small droid was beeping like crazy.

"Oh maker, you have lost your circuits! what's with you?"

Artoo kept beeping.

"What do you mean you know him? how could you know him you silly droid!"

Artoo circled furiously "well don't talk to me with this attitude! And you're not going near him unless master Luke lets you!"

"Shut him down, Threepio, and carry him back inside" Leia shouted as she followed Han on the Falcon's bridge.

"well, Mistr..." Threepio was about to whine. "NOW, Threepio!" Leia shouted again.

"Artoo? Threepio?" the tall Jedi whispered. Luke stared at him and frowned.

"How come you know them?"

The tall Jedi looked him in his eyes and opened his mouth to say something but closed it.

"what's your name?" Luke asked, his frown now deepened.

The Jedi in black stood there and kept his silence stubbornly.

Suddenly they could hear steps of iron walking down toward them, shaking the ground beneath them. They turned. The Jedis were shocked. There an army of imperial walkers was marching toward

them. Not a second after TIE fighters appeared in the sky above them. Spotting them and unleashing their rain of laser.

Chewie roared and ran toward the Falcon.

"Tell us where you're going. we can help you!" the tall Jedi shouted toward them.

Luke reached for his pocket and grabbed his comm and threw it at him as the Wookie carried him inside their ship.

The tall Jedi caught it and looked at it for a second before the two Jedis ran to their ships.

The falcon started flying and the bridge closed.

Chewbacca put him down gently and ran toward the cockpit.

Laser shots were shot at them from both sky above and the earth beneath. He ran toward the gun room. "I've got it" he shouted, letting them know he's by the gun.

he grabbed the control and started shooting down the imperial bastards.

He looked at the city.

Beneath the ashes of once a beautiful civilization and dust of destruction, the statues stood, guarding a city, long massacred. The walkers were nearing them.

The gate's writing glowed and he watched in absolute disbelief as the two statues guarding the city moved. The left shook his sword and it beamed blue and swashed its sword and slashed a walker.

The right turned toward their direction and pointed its now glowing blue orb at the TIE fighters on their tail.

"yohoo, go crazy statues" he heard Han cheer and Chewbacca roaring cheerfully after him.

he looked down. the right was facing their direction.

'The force is with you Luke Skywalker. Remember us.'

He blinked in shock; he heard right in his head! like how he heard Ben! Force!

He looked at the two statues as they fought the empire's army and as they were rained on by shots and explosives.

'Thanks' he thought and hoped the force would let them hear him.

Left looked up and roared as he launched himself toward the attacking army.

Luke hissed and edged near the window and watched as the statues fought and roared their battle roars and in pain.

Falcon had finally reached Outerspace.

He grabbed control and started aiming at the TIE fighters coming from the many star destroyers surrounding Vehra.

In a matter of seconds, Han jumped them into hyperspace.

He let go of control and sat back.


"He became a man of many regrets"

Chapter Text

'Good Anakin, Good'

'Kill him'

'Kill him now'

'Do it'
'
You did well, Anakin'

'Remember what you told me about your mother and the sand people'


He clutched his fist tighter. He stared down at the floor.

'I sense great fear in you, Skywalker ' 

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. meditate. fear leads to the dark side. 


Padme laid there in pain, crying. 'Anakin, help me!' her cries mixed with one of a baby's and she screamed and wreathed in anguishing pain.


He gasped and opened his eyes. was he going to fail Padme like he failed his mother?

Where were Padme and him in this timeline? Their unborn child was leading a rebellion against an empire of a Sith lord. 

The Jedis were announced traitors of the realm, he supposed he was either in hiding or killed by his old pal Palpatine! 

His fist started to shake in rage.

deep breaths. meditate. anger is the path to the dark side.

Luke didn't register him. he knew he might've been a decade or two older now but he supposed Luke would register him or his force signature.

He took a deep breath.

will he go into hiding and leave Padme with their child? if it saved them, he would! 

But he knew Padme wouldn't let him do so.

He was dead in this timeline then. He thought bitterly.

 What about Padme? was his angel safe?

He took yet another deep breath.

Luke didn't know him. Padme would never rise their child without tales of his deceased dad!

He took a shaky breath.

Padme was Dead! 

He snapped his eyes open.

It can't be! He wouldn't let it happen!

Calm yourself!  deep breaths. 

what if Luke Skywalker was no more than a lie? what if some fool took his last name in hopes of becoming a hero? he got famous thanks to the holonet. he was the hero with no fear after all.

was the name supposed to install fear in the empire and bring hope to those who oppose it?

he ignored the little sing-song of force telling him Luke Skywalker was indeed his, those features were a perfect mix of his and Padme's.


He looked by the ship. they were rather a strange group of people. two males, a woman, and a Wookie. more than that their words were rather strange. the force wasn't alarmed .it was humming like it was satisfied. 

were they separatists?

pirates?

crazy?

The girl, who stood by the tall guy in a vest, she had nice braids, but more importantly, she had an era of reigning over her. It was rather hard to explain, but she had the same era as Padme, especially

when she was being a senator. she had the halo of a politician over her.

"what senate?" he heard her asking loud and firm. 

"The Republic One!" he answered, voice loud and clear .he could even hear his own confidence leaking from it.

They were no match for them. They were outnumbered. 

His eyes fall on the young shorter man. He had a lightsaber, Blue like his and Obi-Wan's.

He looked at his face. And winced.

The man, no, the boy, had a huge glowing halo of force above him. It was blinding him.

The force shined bright around him. He was strong in the force. 

He thought about his move earlier.

seems like he was not trained properly. Shame. but he was no threat. Either he or Obi-wan could take him with a swift move.

He studied his features. Lean, Blonde hair. Force dancing around him.

It was as if the whole force was wallowing in darkness and that boy was the only source of light.

He looked into his eyes. Blue, a very familiar blue.


'Something wonderful has happened, Ani I'm pregnant '


he blinked in confusion. He guessed he was missing Padme more than he thought.


Padme laid there in pain, crying. 'Anakin, help me!'

NO! he refused for his vision to come true, once more. Padme will live.no matter what. he'll make sure of that!

Blue Eyes.

he blinked. right he was in the middle of one of the most strange stand-offs of his life, and he's been in many weird ones, but this one took the cake. 

The blonde was staring at him.

"Fuck. They've found us!" The tall guy shouted.

He looked up and frowned. what kind of ships were those? Black, weird designs. those were no ships of the republic. neither were those of separatists. 

He knew all types of one-person attackers, and none of them had this kind of design.

"Get in we're getting the hell out of here. kid get the guns" 

he watched as they ran inside their vessel.

The boy glanced in his direction.

The force was suddenly muted. it felt like as all expect the blonde youth fell into darkness.

there he stood with a halo of the sun over him, the brightest being in the whole galaxy.

force swarmed around him and swallowed him in its darkness, pulling him into an abyss.

'Ani I'm pregnant' 


He shook his head, trying to ground himself back to reality.

he had to find a way to take a blood test from Luke Skywalker. He had be sure of it!

he felt Obi-Wan's presence approaching him. he straighten himself and turned to face his right where his master was coming from a long dark corridor.

"anything?"

the older Jedi came to light. he shook his head ." everything's been destroyed "


7 days ago they appeared in a world they presumed to be their future . in which the chancellor was emperor and his unborn child was the face of a rebellion to revive their republic. Finding the republic

poster boy with a bounty on his head turned out to be the hardest thing. after all, they were fugitives, they were good at hiding. 

They decided to check out for Jedis bases. they couldn't find Skywalker, nor a standing Jedi base.

they walked out of the ruined temple, what was once a Jedi outpost. 

nothing was left. like the last three places, they've checked. 

Anakin looked around. the city was bombed. old shell destructions were still out in open. 

buildings were collapsed or on verge of.

Slums were made on the skirts of the city. 

the force felt like one long anguish. he supposed this world was once buzzing with life and hope.

children were playing in the ruins with dirt and mud. 

he stared. were they happy? they looked sick and dirty. were they free?


"HEY, YOU TWO!" 

The two Jedis turned swiftly on their heels. a stormtrooper was pointing his gun at them.

Obi-Wan motioned his hand in front of him "it's nothing. you can go"

the stormtrooper stood there quietly. his hand twitching behind his back. 

They waited. he should've said it by now. 

"Jedis, in 36 75 location" he shouted in his comm and started shooting.

"kriff it" Obi-Wan cussed and activated his lightsaber.

they started sprinting away. 

a speeder appeared behind them with a stormtrooper on it. a few seconds and more came. raining laser shots on them. 

the two Jedis deflected their shots and throw them back at them.

"let's go! Artoo engines now!" Anakin screamed as he jumped inside his ship.

The two, thanks to the clone wars experience, were able to be off the planet fast and swift.

"well that was close" Obi-Wan said into his comm. 

"the clones have multiplied" Anakin said back

"yes, I have noticed that too Anakin. I guess Palpatine keeps breading them" 

"where to next master?" 

Obi-Wan said nothing. 

Anakin looked down at his monitor "R2 what are neighboring systems?" 

R2 beeped and a list appeared.

"Dawny, Estebah, Vehra"

"vehra?" Obi-Wan asked surprised.

"yes. is it important?"

"not at all just remembered the old nan's story"

He frowned .he was well aware of old nan's stories. she was a nurse in the infirmary and he as a child ended up being one of the ears present for her fairy tails.

"of the force too powerful that they had to hide it ?"

"yes that one"

he frowned. that was but a children's bedtime story.

"the old nan had many stories. she once told me we live in a whales stomach" 

His master chuckled "that she had"

he sighed and looked straight ahead.

"I want you to tell me anything regardless of how bad you think it is and how scared you are my boy"

He took a deep breath "master, I want to go to Naboo. "

"I understand, Anakin" Obi-Wan assured him

he sighed in relief. perhaps saying what he had to wasn't that bad after all.

"but first we have to check Vehra. I have a feeling there we will find something"




 

Chapter Text

he still couldn't believe Obi-Wan was dragging them all the way to Vehra over a nursery rhyme!

they could be on their way to Naboo.

The whines were on tip of his tongue when they got out of hyperspace.

Here lies Pain, Pain, Death, many Deaths, so unbelievable amount of Death.

The planet was surrounded by white wedge-shaped ships, their bellies hosting the black single-pilot ships they encountered on their first day in this god-forsaken timeline.

Torture, Blood, Pain

it turned out Obi-Wan was right and he was yet again impatient.

He sighed. He had to be more patient. This ugly trait of his already gave the excuse to the counsel to deprive him of his right to rank of a Master! His grip on the control tightened. they humiliated him.

he fought and won them battles over and over. He could feel the anger bubbling up. He took a deep breath.

It wasn't important.

he had a wife and was expecting his son to be born. those were what mattered!

Power, Death, Power

It looked like even the old nan was right!

he wanted to laugh in disbelief. power. he frowned. out of all the force feelings, this one felt more shallow. like a footprint.

It was like a cookie crumb. Like when Ashoka ate the last cookie and only left the crumbs in the container.

he listened carefully. the force was whispering power. as it was stolen from there.

they were reaching the huge ships.

the planet was under siege. but it wasn't the first siege they've broken and got into.

"looks like we're about to have another dogfight in space" his master spoke into his comm.

"it won't be a day if we didn't have one" he answered back.

Obi-Wan chuckled.

"ready master?"

"I hate flying" Obi-Wan whined. nonetheless, they both launched forward.

now fully in range of small black fighters, the targeting started.

"ready master?" Anakin asked cheerfully. he heard the older man making a sound in his throat in distaste. He laughed and let go of the control.

Both ships started to free fall toward the planet . they were free falling with immensely fast speed, getting pulled by the planet's gravity. they reached the atmosphere and fall through it. 

Anakin laughed. Flying was always his favourite. Dangerous flying was his jewel in the crown!

"The capital is 20 Kilometers to the west." he announced in his comms and took the control to steady the falling ship.

"I really hate this technique of yours!" Obi-Wan whined.

He laughed. He had come up with the failing ship flying. They had to break many sieges. so acting as if they've gotten them and they were falling into the atmosphere was their best way of getting in.

it was a shame Obi-Wan wasn't a big fan of flying or his technique but the older Jedi complied with whines and groans. He also called him a maniac of a pilot but he couldn't help it and found the older man's state a little funny every time. 

The city stood in dust and haze. he could feel the force crying in pain and despair. 

There was a  white ship, nothing like the empire's.

His mouth opened a little. They were here! force. They were here! 

"it looks like your son's here too Anakin" 

He gulped.

The ships came closer to the earth and landed side by side next to the white ship that was his son's. he gulped again. why was he nervous? he understood that being a parent was nerve-wracking. and

being of a young man which was probably only a few years younger than himself was worse and a lot weird!

was he scared? what if he was right and Luke Skywalker was but a name to lead the rebellion?

what if he was wrong and Luke Skywalker was indeed his? 

He was his. The force sang it to him. All week long, it kept singing about the blonde boy, who shined bright and had his eyes. 

They walked shoulder to shoulder. the city was in a middle of a desert. 

The force cried in pain. It felt as if life itself gave up its will.

In his years fighting the clone wars he never felt force crying out this much.

All the worlds they visited in these seven days were destroyed by the empire.

that kind of destruction he has never seen before. war brings destruction. but these ones? these ones felt like one destroyed them only for the sake of destruction and pain!

Palpatine 

he unconsciously fisted his gloved hand in the spark of anger the mere thought of the man brought him. 

he was going to pay. for everything. he'll be the one to make him pay!

The city was made of white and some slightly greyish quartzite stones.

The buildings had columns and carvings, on average they had 7 floors.

at the entrance of the city stood an arch-like gate, with two gigantic statues on each side of it.

they stood by the gate and looked up. Marveling over the architecture of ones who once not too long ago were still alive and lived in this city.

they were statues of men, faces completely hidden by the hood of the cloak they were wearing. they had long robes. the one on left had a sword, with the tip of it on the ground and hands on the carving-coated handle.

Its counterpart on the right had a book with flower carvings in its right hand and an orb in its left.

there on top of the arch were words carved. in a language that neither of them knew.

they stepped inside the city with white stone tiles. 

the air was still. The force felt heavy. the silence was rather crushing. 

he felt an unease in force in his back. like a pair of penetrating hunter eyes studying every single of their moves. 

he turned back and looked over. the back of the arch started to glow and words started to show. 

he put a hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder "Obi-Wan" he said. the older man turned in confusion.

he pointed at the arch and the older man obligated.

Kenobi's lips parted in shock and reached for his lightsaber. 

they had no idea what it said. 

"be alert. this place is rather strange. we'll find Luke and his friends and we'll be out"

he nodded and reached for his lightsaber.

the two walked on steady long steps. looking around the city. It felt like it stood many centuries until Palpatine started his purge.

The more in they went, the more force felt muffled. 

With being soldiers in the war, came the habit of being always alarmed and on their guard.

There in front of them stood a palace made of black granite. they looked around. that was the only place not out of white quartzite.

It was a four-story palace, with tens of windows. but none of them seemed to have any glasses.

they all must've been shattered. 

in the front of the palace was a small labyrinth of columns supporting the front with carvings dancing around it. At the end of it there were no doors or gates .there was a pitch black hall.

the force felt like a pit. like what would someone feel when their falling from high ground. 

they looked at each other. "let's check out the other places first. then we'll check here. hopefully Luke's sane enough to not enter there straight ahead considering his lack of training" 

Obi-Wan side-eyed him.

he sighed "please tell me you felt his untrained presence too. He had his stand and tricks but it felt like someone who self-learned it in hurry" 

"Well firstly I was too busy not getting blinded by his force " Obi-Wan said playfully.

He snickered. 

"It's hard to imagine none of us training him," Obi-Wan said his face darkened.

No child of his would go without training .but in this timeline no one was left to train him. his mood soared "I don't think either of us lived long enough to teach him" he said bitterly and turned to look at his master.

the older man's brows were intertwined forming a scowl "I do fear so" he said.

They both had crossed the palace and were in front of a white building, yet again supported by columns in the front and with huge words craved at its top.

"well I suppose it's a government building" he said and the two stepped in.

papers and holotablets scattered everywhere on the floor. 

there were signs of blood but no body in sight. he cocked his head. Force felt like a massacre happened but there was yet a corpse to be found. only blood and its stinky iron smell.

He felt a nearing presence. the two Jedis glanced at each other and Anakin turned in time to deflect a laser shot. 

The tall man in vest, no, Captain Han Solo, the one with 224190 credits on his head by kriffing Jabba the Hut, pointed his blaster at him. eyes narrowed.

next to him was Princess Leia Organa, Bail and Breha Organa's daughter, she too had her blaster aiming at them.

"what do you want?" Solo growled at them.

They sheeted their lightsaber in sync. Obi-Wan put his hands up and fell into his role as a negotiator "We're not your enemy, Captain Solo. We're here to help you against the empire"

the princess studied them with her penetrating eyes "a week ago you had no idea what the empire was and now you want to help?!" she hissed dangerously "you're here for Luke!" she accused rather correctly. 

"Did Vader send you?" she continued. the two walked slowly from the corner and come by in front of them.

"Who?" Obi-Wan asked in confusion. 

"we're from the past, Princess" he decided to interject.

"you've got to be kidding me" Solo groaned.

"we're not sure how exactly but one minute we were in the middle of the clone wars and next we were here. you were there when it happened . we appeared in front of you."

The princess kept her posture. and looked at him. he find himself reminded of Padme. he watched as her gaze fall on Obi-Wan and lingered at his master and a look crossed her face.

what was that? he wondered. 

a roar and he looked as the Wookie ran toward them. he was wondering what happened to him.

Solo put his hand up "it's ok Chewie. Seems like Luke's right about them" 

the Wookie, Chewie, growled something and lowered his gun. 

So Luke Skywalker found out they were from the past. he felt proud which shocked him. he wasn't sure yet and here he was feeling proud. but what was that look that the princess had in response to Obi-Wan? Do they know their identities? did Luke also find out their names? well, Obi-Wan's?

where was he?

distinct firing could be heard. 

"Fuck" Solo cursed.

"let's get the kid and bail" he said and turned to Chewie. 

wait, what?

"where is he?" he shouted causing the others to aim at them again.

"Anakin" his master warned. he took a deep breath. "sorry " he apologized. 

"but stormtroopers are coming. where is he? I'll go get him" 

"They were your buddies a week ago" Solo snickered and narrowed his eyes "what do you want from Luke?" 

"we heard he's the last Jedi. we mean no harm, Captain. we want to make sure he's alright" Obi-Wan answered instead of him.

The Wookie roared and stared straight into his eyes.

Solo smirked "Chewbacca wants you to know if Luke loses one strand of hair, he'll hunt you down" the Wookie, Chewbacca, roared again . and Solo's smirk widened "He's good at hunting people !" 

He probably should feel good that his unborn child has good friends. he put his hands up.

"No harm will ever be fallen him from me. I swear it on my life" and stared straight into his eyes.

"he went into that creepy palace" 

with that, he sprinted away. he could hear voices shouting behind him but couldn't register what they were saying. he ran. was the child of his an idiot? had a death wish? why would he go where the force felt like falling into an endless abyss? No, not a child of his. he needed to make sure of it first.

He activated his lightsaber . he could hear the firing coming closer. he had no time to spare.

he ran inside. the only light was the blue illuminating from his lightsaber. he passed the columns and into the dark hall. 

his boots striking the floor beneath. finally! he took a breath in relief. he felt that shining, blinding presence again. 

He stood there with two hooded figures. they were obviously in the middle of a conversation.

he was on guard ready to attack.

"How curious" he heard the figure on Luke's right say, with a hint of amusement in his voice. the one on the left moved forward and shielded Luke from him and his glowing sword raised. its point facing him. he felt anger and fear bubbling in his stomach. were they going to take Luke from him?

"let him go" he roared. he searched for that sun of presence to feel if he feels distressed. he found none, he could feel curiosity leaping from it. but he couldn't find any fear. he mentally relaxed a little and took a better look at his opponents. 

the one with the sword had inched closer toward him. "he'll be safer with me than he'll ever be with you" he roared back at him.

he looked closer. the figures, the carvings. he looked at the other figure, and he internally gasped.

what the actual kriffing fuck?

They were the bloody statues from the gate!

"Brother please" the other one begged, making the other one lower its sword. he kept his stand he wasn't sure .it could be a trap to strike him down once he lowered his defense. 

"Force works in mysterious ways" he continued. "We mean no harm. Luke came to us to help but unfortunately, the darkness fell on us sooner"

the one with the sword moved away from Luke's front. giving him the full sight of one Luke Skywalker with his lightsaber in his hand illuminating his presence even more. 

he was brought back to what was going on the outside once the firings got louder.

He looked over at Luke, seemed like he wasn't the only one registering the fight sounds from outside.

the kid's eyes widened.

"I have to go. I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier" he said and stepped toward him. he looked him up and down, he seemed alright, unharmed. good

"The force is strong with you young Skywalker" the one that looked like the right statue from the gate said. he turned and faced him. he felt some sort of eyes staring at him from behind the hood and he continued "as it was with your father" he felt his grip on his lightsaber loosen a little.

Oh, he knew who he was! 

"what do you know of my father?" Luke turned sharply, his eyes blown wide. 

his hands started to shake. he tightened his grip and fisted his other hand. 

Luke had no idea who he was.

The figure kept quiet. he could feel desperation leaking from Luke's force presence. Luke stared but the figure stood stubbornly quiet. he could feel Luke's sadness sipping throw his desperation. he put a shaky hand on his arm. 

the figure kept quiet . 

"My friends need me" the younger Skywalker stated with no hint of emotion. his presence flickered and it buried his emotions, making him unable to know what the boy felt.

Luke turned. he let go of the blonde's arm. 

he glanced at the figure and turned too.

"He became a man of many regrets" the other figure said loudly.

He felt a pit in his stomach and turned sharply, mouth slightly open in shock and surprise.

What? 

"The dark path leads to nothing. Be the light of this darkness, Luke. there's still a chance. Now run and get your friends out of here" it/he(?) continued. 

he could feel their heavy gaze on him.

what could possibly have happened?

He spoke as Luke was the last hope of the galaxy. he felt an unease in his stomach.

for the first time, the figures started to have a very faint presence in the force. If he wasn't trained and strong in the force he wouldn't notice it. he could feel their desperation. a kind of desperation he never felt before. and the unease settled in a pit of fear. Luke was the last hope of the galaxy! 

He watched as his the kid swallowed hardly. he reached and grabbed his wrist. 

"May the force be with you, Luke Skywalker" the right finally spoke.

they both glanced at them one last time and ran out. 


His head was spinning with all kinds of thoughts attacking his consciousness.

he looked at Luke. the kid was deep in his thoughts. his force presence felt heavy, like the burden of the whole galaxy was on his shoulders.

Did he cause the burden to fall on him cause he was another Skywalker?

(was this the consequence of breaking the Jedi code? for his child to suffer ?)

Light shined bright. they were back outside, both lightsabers shining under the sun, with similar blue.

Obi-Wan was fighting with the elegance of the true master he was.

The Princess and the Captain were behind him, shooting at the troopers. 

the Wookie was back, firing like crazy on the imperials.

he looked toward their ships. there stood two droids. he narrowed his eyes. their silhouette one he saw many times. where they...? He felt force singing danger. he grabbed Luke and pulled him, shoved
him back, and stood in front of him. he swashed his lightsaber and started deflecting the laser shots. He heard the boy sheeting his lightsaber and a second later a blaster was shooting the troopers from his behind.

"Let's go kid" Solo shouted .with that he and Organa sprinted. 

Obi-Wan stood until they came by. the fires were getting more. the troopers were getting more.

he wished they had that amount of troopers during their war where they were saving people not killing them!

He watched amazed as Luke kept running and shooting at the same time without a second look. the kid didn't miss nor looked twice to aim nor flinched as he killed troopers.

He never wanted this future for his child. he fought the war so his son would never. but here he was another Skywalker fighting in yet another war.

"nice aim, Luke!" Obi-wan complimented him. 

Luke turned and studied his features. the look that crossed Leia's face crossed his.

He was about to say something when the Wookie charged and hugged him from the back and roared loudly, shocking the two Jedis in the process. Jeez, that was one crazy Wookie!

"Good to see you well too Chewie" Luke said. his mood obviously lifting.

He couldn't help it but feel grateful toward the Wookie, his son Luke, have felt heavy and sad after the conversation.

he heard the familiar beepings. the screech of his astromech .

he looked past Chewbacca and saw his droids bickering. he couldn't help but wanted to laugh. 

was it the force way to tell him Luke's definitely his?

"What do you mean you know him? how could you know him you silly droid!"  Threepio said.

"shut up! I have to go to him!" Artoo beeped furiously.

"well don't talk to me with this attitude! And you're not going near him unless master Luke lets you!" 

He watched. Threepio obviously had his memories wiped out. but good old Artoo remembered. he felt a sad smile trying to surpass to his face.

"Shut him down, Threepio, and carry him back inside" the princess shouted as she followed Solo on the Falcon's bridge.

"well, Mistr..." Threepio was about to whine. Good to know he didn't lose his whining abilities  "NOW, Threepio!" Organa shouted again.

he couldn't help but to acknowledge his droids. "Artoo? Threepio?" he whispered.

He looked up to see Luke staring at him with a frown.

"How come you know them?"

He wanted to laugh. oh you silly boy, they were his.

he died, Padme died, Obi-Wan died and all they left for his son was apparently his droids.

he wanted to laugh so badly.

what in the name of bantha shit was this universe? A joke? A very sick joke?

he looked at the kid's eyes and opened his mouth, decided to just tell everything. say that this was a sick joke and those were His droids. he closed his mouth. it was no sick joke.

the boy's frown deepened "what's your name?" he demanded.

he stood there.

he was in the future. where everyone was dead. Palpatine was the emperor. there was no Jedi. he had a son. his droids were now his child's. the said child didn't even know him!

Weren't there any holograms to show his child when he was younger and tell him that's your dad, that's your mom.

he felt his breath hitch.

He had no one. all the people he had were dead. his child was orphaned. who did rise him? 

he had no one to rise his child! who gave him his name? who lived long enough to name him? and get him to someone to rise?

he stared at the youth. what he was to say?

tell him he was Anakin Skywalker. they were standing in the middle of a battleground. the kid was the poster boy for the rebellion against an empire of Sith. he also happened to be the last of Jedis and

he was staring right into his Father's eyes and had no idea who he was.

what he was supposed to say?

he felt a knot in his throat. 

what he was supposed to say to his unborn child, now a young man? what he was supposed to say to his child who he never got to rise or to know? what he was supposed to say to his unborn baby, orphaned and burdened with the fate of the galaxy?

he kept quiet. 


he could feel the ground shaking under his feet. he looked to his left where Vehra laid. he could hear steps of iron. he concentrated. 

there came a creature, no a weapon of destruction, on four legs, blasters pointed at them.

what the fuck?

So all Palpatine did in his 19 years of reign was to come up with stupid designs for weapons of mass destruction and kill ?

the ground shook harder.

he was going to kill Palpatine!

the small black fighters fall from the sky , spotting them and dancing their dance of destruction.

They were in the middle of a battlefield, in a planet which was massacred and they were the targets!

The Wookie ran toward their ship.

"Tell us where you're going. we can help you!" he shouted as he watched Luke carried away to the vessel. 

the boy reached for his pocket and threw something at him.

he caught it and looked at resting between his fingers. a commlink.

He looked up got one last good look at Luke Skywalker and sprinted away. Obi-Wan right next to him.

 He jumped into his ship." Artoo, take off!" he shouted to his astromech from his time.

He maneuvered his ship, dodging laser beams and shooting down the offensive fighters.

He looked at the city from above.

The statues stood among the dust and ashes of once a civilization. guarding a dead city. the armored four-legged weapons had reached the gate.

To his utter disbelief, the statues moved! The left shook his sword and it beamed blue and swashed its sword and slashed one of the four legs.

The right turned toward Luke's direction and pointed its now glowing blue orb at the fighters on their tail.

he watched . in his years as a trainee and a knight, he had never seen such things. Force desperate enough to act on his own!

"choose wisely Skywalker" he heard the right statue's voice in his head. his breath hitched, his eyes wide open. "your choices can bring an empire down or build a darker one!"

he looked down, the statues were charging at the imperial army. the rebels were already out and gone. 


"to Naboo Anakin?" he heard Obi-Wan's voice in his comms.



"The force is strong with you young Skywalker as it was with your father"

"what do you know of my father?"

"He became a man of many regrets"

"How come you know them?"

"what's your name?" 
 

his grip over the control loosened "yes Naboo" he hoped Sabe was still alive. he hoped she knew something.

He lived in a time of war and deception but even then the force was beaming. but now, here, in this timeline, the force felt like death under its black cloak. the only time it beamed was in presence of Luke Skywalker.

the youth's face came into his mind, standing there as the only source of light in the darkness. 

"what's your name?"

he jumped into hyperspace and let go of the control.

"choose wisely Skywalker. your choices can bring an empire down or build a darker one!"

Chapter Text

They had land in the forest surrounding Theed.

Considerably getting into Naboo was rather easy. with being Palpatine's home planet and Palpatine being emperor and stuff. but it seemed the politician was done with his home planet as soon as it

served its purpose and gained him the power he most desired.   

The ever-green and happy Naboo , only felt green now. 

He remembered coming here for the first time when Padme was first elected as the queen and Naboo was under the siege of the trade federation. 

He was here with Qui-Gon Jinn and a Padawan version of his master and that silly Gungan, Jar Jar. he did climb the ladder in his time for his efforts in getting Gungans and Humans together. He

hoped at least he was alive.

He looked around the city. It was just like years ago. well years ago now. when he would come and visit Padme and see his wife after months in the battlefield. 

He looked at the stalls around the bazaar. 

"Ani, have you ever had these cakes? they're my favourite. you're gonna love it"

he blinked. his heart hurt. 

Just a week ago everything was fine. they were winning the battle. Padme was very much alive and waiting for him in coruscant. 

he looked at another stall. 

"My lady you're looking amazing today. and who's the young man with you?" the young shopkeeper asked his angel enthusiastically. Padme shined her beautiful smile "hello Cathryne, that's Anakin.
he's a Jedi knight. I assume you have your famous sandwiches today" 

He looked at the woman, wrinkles enveloped her face. Hair white as snowflakes and hands slightly shaking.

It couldn't be that long for her to age this much. she looked like someone who went through extraordinary sadness. 

without saying a word to Obi-Wan he turned and walked toward her stall. 

"Hello"

"How can I help you sir?" she answered politely.

he swallowed hardly " I wanted to know how can I get to Padme Amidala's mausoleum?" he choked up. 

"what do you want from her?" she kept her tone still but he can see some kind of fury in her eyes.

he felt a hand on his shoulder and Obi-Wan was right next to him. " we want to pay our respect to her" he said. and looked down at the sandwiches on the stall's front bar. "lovely. we also take two of

your sandwiches" and flashed her his smile. she nodded and hand him two. Obi-Wan thanked her after paying. the woman nodded and whispered an address. 

"She died young, so did the Jedi knight who was always with her" she said more confidently. 

Anakin could feel a lump of despair and sadness forming in his throat. she faced him " you look like him. I wish to the force to kill those who were responsible for their deaths" Anakin hanged his head,

he could feel his eyes burn. he nodded and walked off. he could hear Obi-Wan bidding her a farewell and walking with fast steps to catch up to him. 

he shoved a sandwich on his way. "I'm not hungry" he mumbled. the older retrieved his hand hesitantly and pocketed the food.

They walked in silence. 

Anakin could feel the lump in his throat getting bigger and bigger, tighter and tighter.

He looked up. They had already reached their destination. 

A statue of her, dressed in her throne room gown, stood before the tomb's entrance. 

He felt like he couldn't breathe.  

Obi-Wan gently squeezed his shoulder. "I'll wait for you here"he said softly. 

He nodded and walked in.

There stood a stained glass window, showing his wife. he could see a stone pot filled with red roses on the columns.

He couldn't breathe. 

He felt himself shaking and slowly looked at the stoned rectangular sarcophagus, decorated with the emblem of Naboo. 

His hands were shaking. he took a step forward and rested his hands on his wife's resting place.

The lump in his throat made it impossible for him to breathe now.

his knees shook and an ugly sob was freed from his lips.

He rested his head on the tombstone. tears streaming from his face.

This had to be a nightmare. IT BETTER HAD TO BE!

The flower pots shook from his anger. 

His knees gave up under his weight and he fall to his knees in front of his deceased wife's sarcophagus.

"I can't wait for you to come back Ani. Perhaps they let you go for a while and we can go to Naboo and paint the baby's room" He looked at Padme's bright and happy face in hologram. She smiled at him brightly. He couldn't help but grin like a mad man .god, he was so in love. She smiled and shined so brightly that it blinded him with light.

"what's your name?" The boy frowned and looked down at him from the Wookie's embrace.

he blinked.

Luke's face was still in his mind. He looked like her.

What kind of hell was this future? 

His angel was gone. his son had no idea who he was. the person who he trusted the most, looked up to, his mentor, was the fucking murderous  EMPEROR!

He could hear a commission from outside. 

he scrambled on his legs and took a shaky step forward. 

he took his lightsaber and activated it and stepped outside.

Obi-Wan stood talking to soldiers (?) pointing guns at him.

he heard a loud gasp and looked to his right. Sabe stared at him eyes wide open and hand on her blaster. she was wearing all white. her white cape dancing in the wind. 

He looked around. Eritae, Rabe, Sache, Dorme, His wife's handmaidens stood among the soldiers.

"Anakin Skywalker?" he heard Sabe's whisper. She took a step toward him "HOW DARE YOUH WEAR HIS FACE?" she screamed at him.

"It's really me, Sabe" he said, voice hoarse from crying.

Sabe's eyes went frantically between him and Obi-Wan.

"where were you this past 19 years?" she shouted and started to walk toward them.

She stopped suddenly. "why do you look as you did 19 years ago?" her eyes fall on Obi-Wan.

"you too General Kenobi" 

Anakin sheeted his lightsaber. he heard Obi-wan doing so.

Amidala's former handmaiden reached him. she grabbed his arm and looked at his face with her penetrating eyes.

His eyes were red. tear stains were still fresh on his face.

something crossed her face, like a flash of realization. she pulled her hand from his arm like she got burned with realization.

"you're not from our time." she said. she put her hand in the air and signaled her men. 

Anakin hung his head low. unable to talk.

she turned and looked at Kenobi. the older Jedi nodded. "I'm afraid we don't have any explanations. one moment we were in the middle of a war with the separatist's droids and next we were in a time where chancellor Palpatine's an emperor and everyone's dead."

She turned around. "That man's Anakin Skywalker. He was with our Lady till his death. they died together" 

A look of shock came across her soldiers' faces.

she turned to face the two Jedis again. "we prayed for a miracle. we're the Amidalans. we're the ones who will  avenge the  deaths of Padme Amidala and Anakin Skywalker" 

Anakin's head was still low. his fists were shaking, he felt his face dampen again.

"We'll avenge you don't doubt it. but perhaps we're not the only ones looking for revenge. Even the force couldn't stand this injustice and brought you here " she turned on her heels.

"let him grieve " she told the others. "you're a hero here, Anakin Skywalker" and walked toward her soldiers. 

the others sheeted their blasters and glanced at the two Jedis before walking away. 

Anakin could feel the heavy gazes on him.

"Is Luke Skywalker yours and hers?" Sabe asked. she and her people were at the outskirts of the mausoleum, their backs facing the two men.

"I believe so" he answered, voice soft. 

"then your place is by your son. that would be what she wanted"

He rose his head up. tears streaming silently on his face.

She glanced back and looked straight into his sad blue orbs. her followers were already gone.

"may the force be with you" and she walked away.

He stood there. pain and sadness ambushing his heart.

he heard footsteps approaching him . a hand resting on his back and guiding him toward the steps leading to the mausoleum. 

Obi-Wan guided him toward the lower steps. he felt his knees were about to buckle again.

He sat down and buried his face in his hands.

He felt the gentle touch of his Master's hand on his back rubbing soothing circles.

A gentle hand guided his hands from his face and put a sandwich in his hand. "eat" Obi-Wan said voice gentle and soft.

The two-man, Padawan and Master, sat side by side, in silence; neither of them knew for how long.  

 The sky was getting darker. he looked up and saw thick,  dark clouds concealing the light.

He remembered the first time he saw Naboo-style rain.

Padme laughed "It's just rain, Ani. It rains a lot here. you can watch as many times as your heart contents."

A droplet landed itself on his forehead. so did another one and another one.

The rain started to pour. Like the sky was also crying for her.

Obi-Wan's hand still resting on his back. he felt bad for the latter, getting wet because of him.

he slowly stood up and turned to face his master. The older man was studying him carefully. he 

outstretched his hand, inviting the bearded Jedi to take his. Obi-Wan smiled at him and took it and got up to his feet. 

He glanced back at his wife's tomb. he felt his heart clench in despair. 

"then your place is by your son. that would be what she wanted"

He turned and walked away.  

they walked in silence on the road they took earlier to reach her. crossing the bazaar they were in earlier.

He could hear children's laughter .he had never heard Luke's laughter. she'll never hear it. he could hear the younglings' cheers. He felt Obi-Wan grabbing the clock on his wrist and pulling it a little.

He looked up from his turbulent thoughts and looked at the older man. The older Jedi turned and looked at where the children were playing. he followed his gaze and his eyes fall on a Gungan.
"
Messa..." he heard the familiar voice. his lips parted at seeing the familiar face. The Gungan's eyes fall on the two. 

his mouth fell open in shock .his eyes were blown wide and suddenly tearful. The children started to make noises in anticipation. The Gungan looked down and swallowed his lump. "Messa...Messa dead" he said and fell to the ground, his tongue out of his mouth and played death for children's entertainment.  

He felt his master's hand on his back. encouraging him to continue their walk toward their ships.

he couldn't help but for a small sad smile to cross his face. 

Jar Jar Binks was alive even though he went from being in the galactic parliament to a street clown. he felt happy that that silly Gungan was alive.

He reached for Obi-Wan's cloak and grabbed it. the older man turned and gave him a smile and continued walking.

He felt nine again. like when he first came to  Coruscant. His to-be Jedi master, the guy who freed him, dead. afraid and lost. He would grab into Obi-Wan's cloak and follow him around like an ugly duckling. people in the Jedi temple joked about if they looked carefully into Obi-Wan's shadow they'll see a pair of blue eyes staring back at them. Little Skywalker following Kenobi everywhere looking like a lost puppy.

he felt afraid and lost again.

The rain stopped and the clouds started to move letting beams of light in.

he reached into his pocket and grabbed the commlink.

He looked at the tiny device resting in his palm.

It was time to see Luke Skywalker properly.

The sun was out. 

Chapter Text

Her hands were trembling. as soon as the younger ones moved out of her office she scrambled and poured herself some alcohol. 


"in our haste, we forgot to take a picture of them" Leia said to her.

Luke seemed restless next to her. "Luke has a theory" she continued.

she turned and gave her full attention to the young pilot.

"One of the Jedis, bearded in withe robes, felt like Ben or, as you know, Obi-Wan Kenobi. I'm pretty sure of it. He was much younger but his force signature was indeed the same as Master Kenobi."

she felt her heart skip a breath. she couldn't show any sort of emotion so she buried hers. once she was alone she could do anything with it. " are you sure?" she knew Luke was strong with the force,

with who his father was there was no doubt in the boy's strength. and she knew Luke was more than reliable but a silly part of her wanted to make sure it wasn't a hallucination of hope. 

"yes" he stood there back straight in confidence. "I might sound crazy but I used to be able to hear Master Kenobi's ghost via force but as soon as they came he disappeared" 

She nodded " I don't think you're crazy Luke. I'm from the time of Jedis. I know what force can do. the impossible only is a word. the will of force knows no bounds!"

He gave her a shy smile in return.

"there was another Jedi" Solo interjected. "Tall, had a scar near his right eye, brownish blonde, wore a black glove over his right hand, had blue eyes like Luke's" the captain continued his description of

the second Jedi.

She had to physically stop herself from shaking.  She glanced toward the Young Jedi in training.

"how did he feel?" 

the blonde frowned "I'm not sure" he said, voice soft this time. his earlier confidence had wavered. 

"He was too fixated on Luke. he almost lost it when he found out Luke went alone. they both showed strong interest in Luke. they claimed it was because he's a Jedi. how are we gonna be sure they're

any better than Vader and the Emperor? they're also hunting him down for awful reasons. how we're gonna know if they don't hunt Luke down or worse do something to him?" Leia said angrily, her

hands moving in frustration. She could literally see the imaginary fumes emitting from her head.

The image of one Anakin Skywalker hunting down his adult son formed in her head and she had to kill the laughter that was bubbling in her throat. 

"Leia" she reached and grabbed the younger woman's hand. "I assure you, by your description, these Jedis won't hurt a single blond lock on Luke's head.  I won't assure you if I knew there was a slight

chance of any harm coming to Luke. After all, he's rebellion's best pilot !" 

That caused Solo to protest "HEY!" The other three laughed in return.

"anyways anything else?" and she glanced between the three.

Luke looked a little nervous " I gave my commlink to the tall Jedi. in case we decided to contact them or vice versa. they won't be able to trace us tho" she nodded "I understand."

she took a step back "you've all done great. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you guys" she wanted them to know of her gratitude toward them. The rebellion only hit brick walls before these three

joined. 

she made sure her posture was straight "we'll have our drill.  Commander Skywalker, we'll have your squadron on the front. we have a ball and a few more influential people interested in our cause. I

was hoping you will be able to get your squadron to put on a show " 

Luke's posture went serious again "yes Ma'am" she nodded in acknowledgment and turned to face Han Solo "Captain Solo, I have a small errand to run. hopefully, you'll be back by the time it's Luke's

show" 

The Captain nodded "sure. hopefully, this one goes better than the last time there was a ball and I was on supply run"   he stated in distaste.

She could feel her own distaste at the mention of the last ball where Queen Trios betrayed them to the empire and caused many causalities. 

"We have that unfortunate experience now. we're more ready"  She could feel the sadness in the room.

"And I want you princess to convince as many of them as the short time lets you" Leia nodded.

"That'll be all for now. You're dismissed "They all bowed their head in respect and turned and walked away.

She watched their back. Skywalker turned "when will I be able to investigate the Jedis?" 

her heart beat faster.  "I'll talk with the others for you. Hopefully after tomorrow's mission. I'll let you know tonight" 

He gave him a small smile and his blue eyes shined and for a moment he saw Anakin instead of Luke.


"Thank You" the image crumbled in her mind by Luke's voice.

She nodded and the door closed behind the young Jedi.

She sat down and took a sip. 

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker 

she remembered the time before the empire. The time of the old republic.

coruscant stood as the heart of the republic. The capital! she remembered the senate. where all from different races and places came together and talked, well screamed at each other in a posh political

manner. a sad tearful smile crossed her face. 

hell, she never imagined herself missing the clone wars. But here she was missing that awful period of time.

she wished to time travel and kill Palpatine after the siege of Naboo. she'll happily take her life in prison sentence!

She remembered the Jedi temple. She had been there but not as much as Padme or Bail.

Her hand shook.

she wished for them to come back. The weight of the rebellion was heavy on her shoulders but the deaths of her friends, her people, and her suboridents were crushing her every second of her life,

making each and every of her breath almost impossible. her heart beated painfully as if a million needles pierced her in her chest at the same time.

She remembered the Jedi council and the Jedi masters sitting around in the room. 

The Jedi temple and Jedis were long gone, massacred by Sheev Palpatine and Darth Vader.

"Always two there is, A master and an apprentice" she heard that old troll Jedi master's, Master Yoda, voice in her mind.

And here there were, ruling over a galaxy, an empire of sith!

what was left of the Jedis was a boy, the son of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. She felt a flicker of light in this endless darkness the first time she met the young Skywalker. and he blew up the

death star and that flicker turned to a beam of light.

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in present?

Two powerful death Jedis brought by the force to the future?

Perhaps the force deemed this timeline so dark and pained that it sent two powerful Jedis to save them.

She took another sip of her drink.

Perhaps the force saw Luke as their last token of hope that sent two of the most powerful Jedis, his father and uncle, to teach him and make him ready for the inevitable, to face the two Sith lords. 

She always felt like encouraging Luke to become a Jedi was like handing the kid his death certificate. She would see Padme's face and her heart panged in guilt. The Siths were obsessed with him. But he

was hope and she hopelessly was trying to grab to that beacon of light. 

But if they were here, things could change drastically.

she hoped for all those they lost to come back like them. Padme, the Organas, all the Jedis, masters, padawans and younglings, all the soldiers who were killed by the empire, for Alderaan to still orbit

its sun like it once did.

For this nightmare to end.

she put her glass down and stood up. She had people to convince to let Luke meet his Father and a ball to attend later.

Luke climbed down from his X-wing. " good job everyone. Have some rest and be here before the ball starts. Let's put on a show that'll convince them to put their money on the Rebellion" 

"Yes Commander," his squadron said in union. 

Wedge put a hand on his shoulder "enjoying this commander?" he teased with a sly smirk dancing on his face. Luke shrugged his shoulder and imitated the same sly smirk on his friend's face "are you

making fun of your commander Antilles?" 

the latter laughed "no sir" he said trying to cease his laughter. The blonde Jedi chuckled lightly.

 "Master Luke! Master Luke!"Threepio was running to the best of his abilities toward him. 

"see you Skywalker" he turned and nodded at the pilot as the latter started walking away disappearing from his sight.

"Master Luke!" The golden protocol ran like a penguin with his ass on fire!

"yes, Threepio? " he turned fully to face his droid.

"Sorry sir, to rush on you. I wouldn't have if it was urgent. and with you sir being busy and god even tired after practicing for the show tonight. I wouldn't have bothered you. oh god, you also have the

show in a few ho..."

"What Is It Threepio?" he cut the droids rambles and asked, voice loud and full of authority.

"yes sorry sir. The Jedis have sent a message to you" and he showed his spare commlink which was paired with the one he gave away. he grabbed the commlink. 

Force swirled around him and it started to chirp like birds in the morning in a beautiful garden.

Artoo beeped excitedly, from his space on his X-wing, he kept the droid intact for later. 

"Now, what got you so excited you silly droid ?"Threepio asked. Artoo beeped something. Luke's binary was not good but he was sure that little droid just cussed the golden droid out. he tried to stifle

his laughter. he coughed and tried to smooth his voice and bury his laugh "what is he saying Threepio?"

"well, he rather has a foul mouth! but he says you must meet them!" 

he looked at the astromech , why was his little droid so excited for him to meet them? Was it because he first claimed to be Ben's? it wanted him to meet Ben because he missed the old hermit?

"you can go Threepio" 

"very well sir" the droid turned toward the astromech "I wanted to keep you company but you clearly lack manners and I do not lower myself to such droids" 

Artoo beeped in a mocking tone.

"Good Day!" the other droid turned and left.

Luke walked toward the supply closet. he stared at the commlink between his fingers.

They contacted him. Mon Mothma registered them. She clearly knew who they were, as much as she schooled her features and concealed her emotions it was quite evident the rebel leader knew them.

She subtly gave him permission to meet them and pushed forward the time. he couldn't imagine her letting him meet a bunch of mysterious Jedis in a span of a day. She clearly knew them. She was

taken by surprise once she learned about their encounters with them.

As soon as he started to describe Kenobi, her eyes shined a bright light. Ben wasn't the only one she recognized. her eyes smiled as he told her about the tall in black Jedi. she asked about his feelings.

That caught him off guard. but she stared at him like she knew something and her eyes turned sad.  why would she care about how he felt around that Jedi?

he frowned. 

He stood there staring at him with his blue eyes. The force danced around him screaming Power.

He had a majestic hypnotizing era to him. it almost reminded him of Darth Vader.

he blinked he was in the closet. He didn't register opening and closing the door. He cocked his head. he had unconsciously used the force, again.

After his encounter with the Jedis, he found himself not registering when he uses the force once deep in his thoughts.

Fighters were shooting at them he shot them all down, and the main hanger's door was jammed he lifted it, and he opened doors, all while reminiscing about the past week's events and not mentally

present while he was doing those.

he touched the play button.

"We're Jedis from the past, brought by force in front of you. we wish to meet with you properly Luke. we want to help you and the alliance. Feel the force young Skywalker you'll know it's true. The force

wanted us here and it wanted us to meet. this is the will of the force. Anywhere anytime you want" 

he heard young Ben's voice. 

He felt nine and in Tatooine. Old hermit Ben. kids made fun of him. Uncle Owen wasn't his biggest fan and kept forbidding him from visiting him. But Ben watched over him.

He remembered Ben's memoir. 

He saved him countless times and bought him pieces for his hooper. 

 He blinked and he was in the death star again. Ben looked at him and Vader struck him down. killing his master before he had a chance of teaching him the ways of the force. 

Darth Vader killed Ben, Killed his Father!

He fisted his hand in anger. His fist was shaking from his rage. 

The supply Boxes on the shelf started to shake rattling in their place.

He blinked and looked around. he had done it again!

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Calm down. Force danced around him. the faces of the two Jedis came to his mind. he saw young Ben's face and the force squeaked like it was telling him

indeed that was Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ben faded and the other Jedi took his place. the force turned into a hurricane. it felt like being in the middle of a sandstorm in Tatooine. 

The force circled the Jedi, he felt hot and cold at the same time. Those blue eyes were staring into his soul and the cold crept to him carrying the sound of a familiar respirator!

He gasped and opened his eyes. with one last clank the boxes fall back to their place.

Who they were truly?

He really didn't know much about old Ben. just who were they for force to push him toward him?

That tall Jedi. 

why he felt he was in the middle of the storm of the force of that guy?

He had to meet them properly.

He had to see him.

he motioned for the door to open. his eyes widened at his own action and how the door obeyed his command. 


He had to see Mon Mothma.

Chapter Text

The X-wings danced in the space, coloured smokes emitting from their engines. 

Han and Chewie walked into the main room of the ship. they had landed an hour ago but Leia was dead set on for them to look like some posh bastards. So a quick sonic shower, which was rather hard

to get that big old baby of a Wookie into, and grooming the shit out of themselves later they were finally ready to pass the dress code and make sure Leia's happy with their outfit.

They watched from the big windows as Luke and his squadron put on their show.

The great thing about rebellion was that their pilots outshined the hell out of any of the imperial ones. hell, he shot the dark lord himself, Vader! and let's not forget their kid Jedi who blew The death star!

He looked with Chewie by his side, he could see hope. The game has changed for the empire. now there was a chance! 

"Captain Solo" 

He turned. The guy wore a black velvet long coat with gold thread designed in a form of patterns all over it. His black hair slicked back, black penetrating eyes studying his features. 

He held his hand out, he was wearing a black leather glove. "Mik Everlast, Lord of Endoler" 

He reached for his hand and shook it." please call me Han" what did that rich bastard want from him? The room was full of influential people from different parts of the galaxy, Rebellion's high

commands, and hell wasn't it Leia's job to entertain these rich snubs?

The man nodded "very well, Han." he stood by his side and gave his attention back to the flying show.

"It's quite impressive how a small organization like the Rebellion Alliance can pull this off while the Galactic Empire keeps disappointing. " 

He looked at the man from the corner of his eyes. he stood tall, gloved hands clasped behind his back.

"Have you seen the old republic ones, Han?" 

he straightened his back. and made sure to make his confidence evident in his voice. he supposed the high commands, Leia, all wanted him to impress this guy. "I was a child during the old republic.

but I remember a bit. it felt like a magic show" 

The older man nodded and kept watching.  

With one last circling, the red squad was done. the audience clapped and with that, a buzz fell in the ballroom.

"I was expecting you there too, Han" 

Han shook his head "Nah, I'm more comfortable here, and besides I won't pull out any of these stunts with my Falcon" the other smirked and nodded his head " I See. But you would spare me cause I

didn't see you at the welcoming committee, after all, you're famous and one of the rebellion's leaders" 

what exactly did this guy want? He was indeed interrogating him, he was being friendly and subtle but he knew interrogation and this one felt like one. Endoler was a rich planet. and not a single harm

had came from the empire to them. After all, the empire needed Endoler and its riches. 

"I'm not a big fan of balls or ceremonial greetings my lord" 

The older man chuckled "please, Call me Mik Captain. it's only fair that you also call me by my first name" Han faked a smile and nodded "alright, Mik" the other man smiled in response.

"and truth to be told Han, I'm also not a big fan of balls and ceremonial greeting myself"

He faked a chuckle in response. There was something unsettling about this guy.

He felt a hand on his elbow. "You're finally here" Leia said. She wore a white gown which had a white cape attached to its shoulder. she had her hair up and in braids. She look beautiful but more over

she looked like a general there to impress and work. 

when he first met her, Leia felt more like Princess Leia but now with war and everything they've been through she felt like General Leia Organa.

"Lord Everlast " she greeted the man. the man gave her a polite smile. "Princess" 

He studied Everlast from top to bottom. What were his intentions? Endoler was doing great with the empire. Everlast stood shoulder to shoulder with Palpatine himself during the empire day. hell, he

wasn't even on the first invitation list. He was only invited after he contacted the alliance. He sought the rebellion out himself.

"you must excuse my straightforwardness my lord, but we're all rather quite curious about why you're interested in our cause. after all Endoler's loyalty is with the empire!"Leia went straight to

addressing the main issue.

the older man nodded "It's quite understanding Princess, at the end of the day you have no reason to trust me " 

He could hear the hangers closing, Luke and his friends had landed. 

"All these years the rebellion was but a lost cause. some liked to call it a band of brave people fighting for freedom but I personally felt they were a bunch of morons throwing their lives away for a lost cause" 

He could feel Leia's temper rising in the response to the rude comment, but she was a professional so she swallowed it and buried it deep inside.

The Lord put his hand up " I know I sound like an asshole but the truth is truth however unsettling and distressing it might be" He stared at the Princess. Han didn't like his stare.

"but I can't ignore the fact that you Princess and you Captain have brought massive change. the rebellion seems to be changed but perhaps still not on par with my previous expectations" 

Han frowned "Well, Mik if we're still not up to your standards why did you grace us with your presence tonight?"

The Lord of Endoler smiled again. Han felt sick in his stomach. there was something unsettling about that smile. 

The older man looked at the main door of the room "Perhaps we should go and greet Commander Skywalker and congratulate him on his spectacular show. And I also heard you three are rather very

close "He glance at Chewbacca on his far right "sorry you four" 

The realization settled on his stomach with nauseating heaviness. He was there for Luke! 

" And for your question Han. I said the change wasn't on par with my previous expectations. in a span of less than two years the alliance blew up The Death star, has more allies than in the past two

decades, more worlds are showing interest in joining your cause" he started to walk "If you lead the way" and pointed to the door. 

The former smuggler reached for Leia's hand she took his and squeezed it, assuring him. 

They started to walk, exiting the ballroom and passing throw the hallways.

"and you can say I was absolutely astonished when I first learned of Death Star being blown by a boy from the rebellion.  after two decades of hopeless attempts, the rebellion had finally came threw!"

they had finally reached the hanger. Han reached for the keypad lock and punched in the pin. "I was stunned when I heard that the boy wasn't only a great pilot but a Jedi!" the Lord continued. 

The door opened. The red squadron had already climbed down from their ships and the astromechs were already lowered from their holds. 

Artoo beeped happily as it saw Han and Leia. 

The pilots acknowledged their commander and started to leave but not without glancing at the new incomers first. 

Luke was beaming with excitement and happiness. The kid loved flying. but that wasn't all. The Jedis had contacted them, well him. and Mon Mothma gave him the green light to meet them, and the

cherry on top was the high general didn't tell him to wait till they were sure of them, she gave permission for him to meet them as soon as he could, and that was TOMORROW! He knew she was hiding

something from them. He was sure that she knew who they were but refused to let out the knowledge. Nonetheless, the kid was high on happiness!

Everlast's smile widened at the sight of Luke walking toward them. The aristocrat stepped forward and took his right hand's glove off. He didn't do this when he shake his hand. he could bet he didn't

do that while greeting Leia or anyone in the ballroom. 

"Commander Skywalker" Luke reached and shook his hand. Han looked at the man's face. His smile felt like a hunter who finally caught his prey. His frown deepened. He could see Leia stepping

forward, tense like a rock. Well, she wasn't the only one tense, his own hand was fisted. 

"Mik Everlast. and that was an astonishing show" Luke smiled genuinely making the other man happy (?)  "thank you, sir. I'm happy you enjoyed it" he said with his farmboy's charm.

It seemed Luke's attitude and the sort of innocence that was laced in his era only made the other man more cheerful. the other man chuckled "you have your father's skills and obviously his features "

Luke's eyebrows rose in shock. but it wasn't just Luke that was shocked. Neither of them expected this response from Lord Everlast.

"you knew my father?" 

Everlast laughed "Well Anakin and I were not each other's biggest fans. But indeed I knew your father. Back then I was a young ambitious man. yet to become the Lord of Endoler." he looked at Luke's

eyes. "Back then it was a different time. a time laced with the force." he wore his glove back and reached into his pocket and grabbed his commlink. 

"you have your father's eyes Luke" and he clicked on his commlink "we're leaving" 

Luke studied the guy's face. "thank you " he said.

Everlast turned and faced Leia " General Organa, I can't say Endoler backs the alliance or stands up in a suicide move to the empire but I can say Endoler's not an enemy of the rebellion" 

The Endolerian royal guards reached their master. they wore shining silver armors, laced with the same golden pattern as the ones on Mik Everlast's coat. They had a blaster attached to their waist and

one on their hands, held across their chests. 

"Very well my Lord. It's rather an honor to not have Endoler standing against us. Let us walk you out" Leia finally stated. 

The man nodded and they all started to walk toward the Endolerian ship. It wasn't hard to tell which one it was. It screamed rich. The silver ship was one of the most advanced ships they saw. More

advanced than empire's. It was modeled to look as elegantly as a ship can. After all, Endolerians were known for looking elegant and rich, not only in their clothes or homes but also in their everything!

The bridge was open, the guards stood by the side of it.  

"it was nice meeting you, Mik" Han said although he didn't feel so. There was something about that man. something dark. 

The lord nodded "likewise. it was nice to meet you all" and climbed the bridge with his guards following him. 

suddenly he stopped on his way, his back facing them" you look like your mother, Luke"

Luke's eyes widened.  The man kept his back to them " I used to be jealous of your father for having your mother but I was a young naive stupid man. What happened to them was a shame" he had

entered the ship. "your parents were very brave, you seem to inherited that too"

the guards were all inside the ship now "your father used to fight by the light side" 

The bridge started to close. the Lord turned around and stared straight into the young Skywalker's orbs "but the darkness looms over everyone, even you Skywalker" 

Luke tensed and his hands unconsciously fisted. "I'll never fall to the darkness. I'm a Jedi like my father before me!" Luke said loudly. He could feel the kid's anger at Everlast's comment. He reached for

Luke's shoulder and put his hand over his shoulder guiding the kid toward his chest.

The bridge closing made a rush of wind, making Lord Everlast's coat and hair dance in it. 

The smile that man schooled for the whole night was wiped away and something dark fell on his face. His eyes turned cold and his gaze on Luke hardened "anyone can fall, child" 

the bridge closed.

 
 

Chapter Text

The planet of their destined meeting was rather a strange one. It was as if Tatooine met the Jedi Temple. The capital was instead a town, made of temples and old houses. 

His hood was up, covering his face. 

His angel was gone. Pain surged to his heart, squeezing his heart within itself , cutting his breath away.

He gasped as he tried to push throw his grief. 

He remembered how happy they were for the baby. She was looking forward to go and start with the baby's room.

She was standing in the balcony brushing her beautiful curly locks "Ani, I want to have our baby back on Naboo. we can go to lake county where no one will know, where we can be safe." she turned and

looked at him "I can go early and fix the baby's room. I know the perfect spot.

right by the gardens " 

He was mesmerized by her beauty "You are so... beautiful"

"it's only because I'm so in love"

"no" he chuckled "no. it's because I'm so in love with you"

"so love has blinded you?" 

He couldn't help but to chuckle again. "well that's not exactly what I meant"

"but it's probably true" she smiled brightly at him.

Grief consumed his very being. 

The wind was howling , causing his cloak to dance. Obi-Wan and him had separated to check out the place, to make sure there wasn't any trap. The two Jedis knew they wouldn't harm the alliance or

Anakin's son on that matter but the opposite party didn't. They had no reason to trust them so they might've spread a trap for them to fall into.

The blonde's face came to his mind. The blonde was a regular visitor of his thoughts since the first time his eyes fall on him.

Luke. his and Padme's child. The boy who looked right into his eyes without a hint of realization that he was his dad.  

The grief deemed his force presence . he could feel it himself. or perhaps it was this timeline's grimness rubbing on him.he wondered how Luke's presence stayed so bright living in this universe.

He remembered how the joy he felt once he learnt of his wife's pregnancy. 

His wife's death,his friend's and mentor's fall , this universe on its own muted his joy. 

But he was happy. His son was alive. And was doing well aside from being hunted down by the whole galaxy. 

His thoughts fall on Padme again. he has to know her circumstance of death. Did his dream come true?  Palpatine's face took over Padme's. he could feel anger mixing with his grief.

How could he betray them? Him? 

After the betrayal of Jedis, Chancellor Palpatine, who was directly assaulted by the Jedi traitors and survived the attempt on his life, was elected by the senate to fully take control of the galaxy.

What if it was rather right? What if Palpatine has fallen after the attempt on his life? The Jedi council was falling that was no secret to him. but he couldn't see Master Yoda or Windu letting anything

happen to the chancellor. He and Obi-Wan were not there, presumably dead. the council gave him a spying job. He sighed. they were right. Or...

What if Yoda and Windu were also dead by then?

the keeper of peace, lord Darth Vader

"Did Vader send you?" he remembered Bail Organa's daughter's words.

he remembered Obi-Wan telling him what Dooku told him when he was captured in Geonosis "what if I told you that the republic was now under the control of the dark lord of the Sith?"

What If it was Darth Vader all along?  But why he wasn't the emperor? perhaps Palpatine was but a pawn for him? he could rule without taking all the blame? 

But who was Darth Vader? There was no Darth Vader from when they came. 

He must've came forward after the fall of the Republic, once he knew he was safe enough to show his face. Such a coward! he thought angrily. exactly what Siths are! Coward murders! 

Organa's voice echoed through his head "Did Vader send you?" 

he could feel anger consume him entirely. 

A Sith Lord was hunting down His Son!

Padme, Palpatine, His Mother, The Jedis he had failed them all! But not his son! He won't let the boy die! Luke Skywalker would survive. he makes sure of it. His child, her Child will live by any means

necessary!

He already had circled the whole town he could see Obi-Wan coming in his direction. 

Luke was excited to meet the Jedis. He truly was. Well, at least that was what he was trying to make everyone else believe. 

He was excited. He was excited till he landed his X-wing inside the hanger and climbed down his ship .talked to his colleagues, played roughed with Wedge, and greeted that Lord.

That man's words kept replaying in his head "anyone can fall, child" 

What if he fall ? what if he learned the Jedi way and fell? Became the exact thing that took Ben, his father from him? 

He watched as Artoo was placed on his pit. 

Lord Everlast felt weird. he felt muted. Like someone who knew how to hide himself and his true intention from everyone and everything, even from the force!

The man's silhouette came to his mind. He stood there, wind dancing around him and looking from up with eyes dark. 

Leia, Han, and Chewie hated him. they kept mumbling about the man being there to hunt and taunt him. And Luke believed them but a little part of him kept telling him what if he was there to warn him

of what he could become? Han kept telling that it was the farm boy in him that saw good in everyone and everything. 

He let Everlast occupy his mind rent-free. he tried to show that he didn't. he didn't want his friends to worry about him but they knew him better than that so they kept fussing over him.

He should stop it, his worrying Han and Leia.

He thought back to the Jedis. the Bearded one in white robes and the tall one in his black ones.

He knew that the shorter one was indeed Ben. he was Obi-Wan Kenobi. that made the tall one either Vader, the one that killed Ben and his father, or...

Or that was his father ... Anakin Skywalker.

His breath hitched. 

He stood there looking at him with his blue eyes. The so similar blue. 

"Luke...?" he felt a hand on his back. he blinked and turned to see Leia's worried face. 

another hand was put across his shoulder and his back met a firm chest "you good in there kid?" he nodded and leaned into Han's embrace. the two seemed ready to jump into falcon.

they were not supposed to accompany him "you guys are coming?" he asked confused.

"well we couldn't let you have all the fun by yourself" Han said and ruffled his hair.

"But the high command ..." he said confused. the two were already given another assignment.

"they were persuaded" Leia said. 

"Now let's get you into your ship Master Luke!" Han teased. Luke could feel his cheeks burning in embarrassment. 

Leia and Han Laughed. 

He climbed his X-Wing.

"See you in a few minutes Luke" Leia bid him goodbye and he closed the cockpit's window. 

Anakin could feel his palms sweating. his legs fit jittery. 

"You alright there Anakin ?" Obi-Wan asked while leaning casually on a rock.

They were contacted. Luke told them the location and the time. they went there a little earlier, checking the place out. It was the outskirt of the town, deserted with old house ruins not so far to their

left. a few trees stood here and there were the old town's ruins where. rest of it was dry land with no sign of green. 

"Well as well as I can be considering I'm seeing my child for the first time, properly"

Obi-Wan smirked "calm yourself princess" the older man teased 

he rolled his eyes "yeah sure ."

"seriously Anakin it's going to be alright" his master straightened his back and this time was more serious.

he shook his head "you're not the one who's gonna say, hey Luke guess what I'm your deceased father from the past. Now give me a hug!"

"well you should've thought about that when you and Padme were having your fun"

The tip of his ears turned red he sighed and buried his face in his hands. the older man snickered.

It was rather an easy mission. they had a base on this planet and they were changing location. Make sure they all are evacuating. 

To be honest, there was no need for his presence, but that was Mon Mothma's way of hiding their true intentions. 

Han insisted that they first find a place for the meeting and check it out. after he was satisfied with his choice, Luke contacted them giving them time and location. Then they all moved toward the base

checking out the evacuation process. after they showed their faces, the trio left to go back to that ruined town that Han chose. Chewie had decided to stay with the base and to be ready if things went south. 

Luke could feel the force presence of the two. Mighty and strong. Not longer they could see the figures of the two-man.

He felt his mouth drying and his hands slightly shaking.

he gulped and stepped forwards.

he couldn't afford to come as scared. He took a deep breath and buried his feelings deep down. He tried to manipulate the force and make a wall around himself. shielding himself away from the other Jedis.

He had to do this. He had to meet them. He had to become a Jedi to face him.

"Anyone can fall, child" 

HE WOULDN'T!

His heart was pumping rapidly, Anakin could hear his own heartbeats in his ears.

The feeling of anticipation and fear had woven together making a braid of excitement and hope.

He was fidgeting on his feet. His hands were clammy. he guessed Obi-Wan could practically feel his nervousness without using the force. he side-eyed his master.

The older man seemed to pay no attention to his state of stress or his little ticks. Obi-Wan was deep in his thoughts. eyebrows creased and eyes looking straight ahead.

he composed himself, he had a son to impress.

at the edge of his force reach, he could feel the bright sun signature of his son's force.

The brightness was getting bigger and bigger, warmer and warmer. he unconsciously reached for his son, nudging a little on his force presence. He felt a barrier, not like any kind of shields he

encountered before. It was clearly a shield but it was nothing like the well-crafted ones of Jedis or impenetrable hard ones of Siths. It was something new, or perhaps old. There was no craftmanship in

his son's shield it was pure Force! 

The realization blew his eyes wide he turned to his master "have you noticed his shields?" he whispered. Obi-Wan's frown had deepened "it's not like anything I have ever seen" 

Anakin turned back and looked straight. He could see Luke now with  Princess Leia and Captain Solo next to him.

He was lowkey expecting to see his son alone but he should've known better. the trio seemed to be joined together by their hips. Luke saying he's gonna meet bunch of random Jedis that appeared

from thin air alone would not set well with his friends.  on other hand he should be thankful to them. his son seemed to have great friends. loyal ones. 

Luke was wearing an orange pilot suit. he guessed it was the alliance's pilots uniform.

He was expecting  a more subtle nude colour but he guessed the rebels wanted to look bright and vibrant, as much hopeful as they could possibly look like.

Organa was in her white suit and Solo was in his shirt and vest. they must like those outfits much. That or their limited funds. 

"Who's talking?" Obi-Wan asked him.

"you're the negotiator !" he answered back. 

"Anakin, I don't think it's a good idea to go straight to introducing ourselves"

he dreaded that idea but he understood "I understand master" Obi-Wan took a deep breath and nodded. 

Luke and his friends were now merely few steps from them "But if things escalated Let me be the one who tells him about myself " 

Obi-Wan turned and looked at his face for a few seconds "I'll keep his friends at bay" he turned and looked out at the rebellion leaders "as much as I can " Anakin snickered . He felt that too. His kid's

friends were stubborn and hard to deal with. 



Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and Han Solo stood in front of them .

No time to make mistakes Anakin. he watched as Obi-Wan greeted them.

"It's nice to finally meet y'all properly" 

"Like wise " Organa answered back.

"we're here as you wished ,Jedi Master. Now what do you want from the kid?" Solo let go of pleasantries and went straight to business. 

Anakin looked at his son. Luke seemed to have contracting thoughts making him unable to greet them. he frowned. what was going on with his child?

"As mad as It might sound, We are from the past. from the time of the clone wars when Jedis were still and republic was there. I know our first meeting was not the best but we seek to help" 

"why is that? Why makes  you want to help us?" The princess asked . understandably suspicious of them.

"It's in jedis nature to help" 

Anakin stared at Luke, the blonde stared back with a frown on his face. 

"but you can say it's for the greater good."

"Who Are You?" Suddenly Luke asked making Anakin's heart skip a beat in fear. What if he thinks they're his enemies?

"We're jedis of the old republic, Luke. I understand that you have a little understanding of it, after all you hold a lightsaber" and he pointed at the lightsaber at the boy's waist .

Anakin for the first time actually looked at the rebel pilot's lightsaber. he frowned .it looked so familiar. oh, very much familiar.

"we mean you or your alliance no harm Luke. you know it to be true . feel the force. it's strong with you it'll confirm it. by all the means we want to prove our honesty to you all"

Luke stared at him .their gazes hold onto one and another for a mere second. The same blues staring back at one and another. Luke turned sharply and stared at Obi-Wan, his eyes full of confliction

"Then why so much secrecy Master Kenobi?" 

His own frown left his face as Obi-Wan's mouth opened and closed in shock.he himself abstractly took a step forward. he remembered the looked that crossed Luke's face when he saw Obi-Wan in

Vehra. The princess had the same look. Luke knew Obi-Wan! He knew his master! was there a chance he knew him?why didn't his master tell his son about him?

Luke took a step forward toward Obi-Wan.

"You know me ?" He asked clearly bewildered.

"you were looking after me from afar. when I was younger we didn't have much intraction.my uncle didn't want you anywhere near me" uncle? What uncle? neither him nor Padme had any brothers!

Could it be his step sibling? That was a long shot. Would Owen Lars take care of son of a man who he saw once?

Luke reached for his lightsaber and unclipped it from his belt" you gave me this and told me my father was a Jedi" Anakin looked at the lightsaber.It was freaking His! his son was holding the exact same

lightsaber he had on his belt! 

Obi-Wan stared at the lightsaber in Luke's hand. He carelessly touched the lightsaber. his lips parted apart.

Anakin could feel his heart beating faster and his breath quickening. what had happened to his master in this godforsaken time? He could feel sadness and grief pouring from the holes on Luke's

shield.  "we were there when you were killed " 

His hands started to shake. he looked up and saw sorrow across organa's and solo's faces. he unknowingly reached for his master, tugging into their force bond. Obi-Wan nudged back trying to

reassure him. The older man reached and touched Luke's face. He could see despair in his master's eyes "I think it'll be better if you two get to know each other alone " he patted the boy's shoulder and

walked away, toward the other two rebels "Princess, Captain. You wouldn't mind accompanying me ?I wish for us to get to know each other better" 

The Captain kept looking between him and Luke. He looked at him like he finally realized something "not at all" the princess sent a worried look toward his son and turned to look at him.

she looked like Padme! if he didn't know any better he would've think the two were somehow related!

 Her gaze was strong and overpowering. She turned and the three start to walk away, living him alone with his son. 

He turned and saw the child studying him. 

He swallowed hardly trying to calm his nerves.

"Hi" Luke muttered .He couldn't help but to smile at the innocence in his son's voice. 

"Hi" he answered back. he took a step forward. he had his feature mostly but he could feel he had Padme's gentleness and kindness and well her height. "do you know who i am?" 

Luke's eyes widened , a look of hope crossed his blue shining orbs but suddenly it morphed into something dark. something that made the kid in front of him grieve . he frowned .what was that?

he took another step forward and unclipped his lightsaber showing it to his son. "we're holding the same lightsaber" 

Luke breath hitched and his hands started to slightly shake . his own started to shake too.

"I'm your Dad, Luke. I'm Anakin Skywalker" Luke's blue eyes were wide and shiny. Unshed tears were gathering in his child's eyes. he felt a knot in his throat , growing bigger and bigger. he took another

step and reached for his son and embraced him. 

His child's smaller figure buried into his chest. he rested  his face on his blonde locks. He could feel his tears threating to spill.

It'll all be alright now my son

Hush my child I'm here 

No harm will come as long as I'm here 

It'll be all alright my little one

The sun is bright and I'm here 

Hush little one 

I have no fear 

It'll be alright my little star

The sun shines bright and I'm here 

Chapter Text

He stared from the starship's vast window. 

He could see his face as if he was present in front of him. he could see her.

The boy was cocky and stupid! he had no real form of training. he was winging it. too proudful.

just like Anakin Skywalker. No! he had killed that useless piece of shit. 

He turned and walked toward his chamber. 

Why didn't Kenobi teach the boy anything ? the old man was indeed a fool.

He strikes his former master, undoubtedly with a killer slash. But no body hit the ground. He looked down, only the old Jedi's robes were on the floor.

He walked by the stormtroopers he could feel their fear as he walked down the corridor.

He was brought back to reality by the shouts of Kenobi's brat. he turned and looked at the boy. was that force dancing around him?

he punched in the code and entered his chamber. he had a luxurious lounge. but what for? it was not like he could enjoy it thanks to Kenobi! He fucking hated that old Bastard! Death was a mercy to

him! he should've cut his limbs and burnt him alive, so he could feel all the pain and misery he inflected on him! (all of this was your own doing!) he could almost hear Anakin Skywalker's voice in his

head. he let his anger burn that faint useless voice in his head. death men do not speak!

He entered the adjacent room where his life support pod stood. the black egg was hideous just like himself! He was a Sith, he didn't give a damn. 

His helmet was lifted and he could breathe outside that box. but what was the difference? a slightly bigger box instead of a small suffocating box? 

He closed his eyes and tried to meditate. 

 Her face came back to hunt him, she smiled .he could feel something shift inside him, making his heartburn like how he did in Mustafar. "Ani..." No! He snapped his eyes open. Anakin Skywalker was

dead, he was the one who killed that worthless Jedi Knight! 

His lungs were forced to take another breath and he closed his eyes again. 

"I Was there in the Death Star. I saw what you did to him. You killed Master Kenobi!" the boy shouted at him.

he looked at the lightsaber in his hand. he knew this. This used to be...

he looked at the boy 

....be his.

his lungs were being forced to breathe. the boy will be his. he'll make sure of it. the boy was untrained and angry, his fall would be easy and uninventable. 

Sidious would not come near the boy. 

They could kill the emperor and rule the galaxy together.

it was destiny. it was as things should be! 

His head hurt. but it always hurt "Then our work is done here" it was the Skywalker's voice coming from his mouth!

"Not so fast Anakin! commander Rex check the planet out. we should make sure nothing's hiding!" The trooper nodded and turned on his heel to order what was ordered to him.

Obi-Wan turned to face him "now Anakin Patience! We don't want to lose because we were impatient and didn't double-check before leaving!"

He hung his head in shame "sorry my Master. I just got excited by the idea of going back to coruscant "Obi-Wan put a hand on his shoulder " even I began to miss coruscant, my friend. Hopefully, we'll

be back home soon!" he found himself giving him a smile before his scowl took it away. There was a sudden disturbance in the force. one sharp and fast that came out of nowhere. He stared at his

former Master, his demise " yes, I felt it too. There's an unease in the force. Be alert" he nodded and turned to call the stormtroopers but the force engulfed them blinding them with nothing!

The bright light of force blinded him flaring up his anger. he could feel his waves of anger shaking the starship.

He snapped his eyes open. No! They were dead! He killed them both! no such thing happened back then! was that Obi-Wan's ghost playing tricks on him? that old hermit had done something to

the force, he was transparent and blue he came to talk to him to taunt and hunt him! it could be him! Kenobi was capable of doing anything to hurt him! to show him he had the high ground!

Or was it Sidious? his master enjoyed his little games. he liked to hunt him for shit and giggles.

he reached over the force.

as of a few minutes before there was only one source of major light. The boy's. But something had changed in the force. Even Skywalker's force could not shift and change the whole darkness. 

He fisted his prosthetic hand. 

The boy will be his.

They'll rule over the galaxy. 

Nothing was to take this from him!

Even, whatever in seven Sith's hell this was!

"two Jedis were reported in the smuggler settlement in the outer rim. no visuals. apparently, one was wearing white robes and had a beard and the other one was wearing black robes. no other description"

Admiral Piett stated. 

They stood on the bridge.  So they were the source of the disturbance in the force.

He brushed past the description of the Jedis. it meant nothing. it sounded painfully familiar to Kenobi's and Skywalker's but there was no way of any of them appearing. There was no trick or magic, even

from the Siths that could make this happen. it was simply impossible. 

it must be some other Jedis who survived the purge. or Greys they were unaccounted for. 

Or two fools. Two fools who somehow got their hands on holonet articles from the clone wars and decided to dress up as heroes of the clone wars. 

However insignificant they were compared to him, he had to get to Luke.

Kenobi had already brainwashed the boy with Jedi nonsense. he was but a boy easy to be shaped to anyone's desire. 

he had to get to the boy before the two new players.

He was His!

He needed to approach the boy. He needed to know of his every move. He and him alone.

Sidious couldn't know. the spies were useless. he needed an inside into the rebellion, of his son!

He turned toward his admiral "contact Everlast for me. request an urgent meeting"

"Yes my Lord!" the admiral saluted him.

he turned around and started to walk away, his cape dancing behind him "and admiral no one's about to know about this" he poured his force and anger into his sentence.

"yes my lord"

Piett was loyal and only loyal to him. His squadron was only loyal to him. but that old fart, Sidious, had spies everywhere. one simply couldn't be too cautious when it came to the Sith emperor!


 

Chapter Text

He gently pushed himself out of his from-the-past father’s embrace.

The taller man was obviously shaken.  It was clear that the man in front of him was doing his best to conceal his emotions, but He could see a few stray tears scaping the latter’s grip.

It was surreal. The man was supposed to be his father! His father who long had passed away, killed by Darth Vader!

That was absolutely Impossible! He was going insane! He was believing the words of two madmen who claimed to be his deceased father and master. But Force rang in the truth!

The force was cheery. The most cheerful Luke had ever felt it!

He looked up at his Dad. the man was trying to collect himself. He studied the Jedi Knight. He had a scar by his right eye. He wore a black glove on his right hand. He was tall. He had his eye colour and

blonde hair. Supposedly he got more of his genes from his dad then.

he wondered how his mother looked. he visibly got his height from her!

what was he supposed to call him? Father? that was a bit too formal. Dad? he just met the guy. Anakin then?


"I've killed very many fathers. you'll have to be more specific "

He felt a chill shaking his structure. Vader. Why had he thought of that monster in one of the happiest moments of his life?

He snapped out of his thoughts and focused on his Dad.

“Anakin”
The man snapped out of his cocktail of emotions.

The Jedi frowned “are you rejecting me ?” he shouted, his pupils were blown wide, and his era reeked of misery.

“What?” caught out of  guard, he half shouted.

“No. Hell no. Dad that’s not what I meant. You’re not that older than me and well I thought you might not want to be called dad, especially by someone near your own age and it’ll be weird. Hell, you

might’ve found me weird!”

his ears burned in shame, and he avoided eye contact. Why was he vomiting his emotions on the dad who he just gained?

The other male laughed and reached and messed his hair. “I have a mini-me”

He pouted and crossed his arms, eyes still fixed hard on the ground beneath. “I’m an adult!” he whined which made the older man laugh again. He liked his laughter. It was nice to hear your parent

laugh so fondly at you. something that he had never heard before in his life.

The man took his shoulders and embraced him again. “you’re tiny my son. you’re a mini” He huffed. great now his dad was making fun of his height! Perks of having a very very young father, he guessed.

he pulled out of the embrace to show his parent how unamused he was.

Anakin laughed again and put his hand on top of his head and squinted and looked at him eye to eye. A big fat grin was painted across the other’s face “tiny” and patted his hair.

Luke rolled his eyes. He was so about to punch the other one right to his perfectly sculpted face. His fist was about to playfully land on his father’s chest when the cold came back. He froze. He could

feel the void of coldness on the edge of his consciousness. Reaching possessively to him like a predator ready to snap his teeth on his neck and slay him in one go.

He was Here!

He hurriedly reached for his comm “ This is commander Skywalker. Abandon the mission right now! everyone get to your ships and go. This is urgent! I want everyone to evacuate and be inside a ship in less than 15 minutes!”

Han and Leia! he needed to get them out now!

His father was now standing tall and serious. His previous mischiefness was all gone. “what’s going on?”

“Darth Vader is here!” he looked up. The sky was clear. The sun was almost down leaving with all the light.

“How do you know?”

“I felt him. didn’t you?” he asked confused. clearly, his father was by far a better force user than he was.

he didn’t miss how the other man frowned deeply, and how his eyes turned stone cold.

he turned “c’mon. let’s get the others and get the hell out of here!”

he heard his footsteps following him. “we’ll get the hell out of here. once we’re up we’ll head to a mother ship we have stationed in the nearby system. I'll comm you the coordinates. We’ll land there and regroup”

He could feel the cold gripping hard on the edge of his force and chanting Mine Mine Mine!

He and Obi-Wan had landed on the huge ship. He watched as the falcon, as he came to learn from Obi-wan, Solo’s ship, landed inside the hanger.

“so Luke could feel this Sith lord?” Obi-Wan murmured.

He hummed in response “neither of us can and although Luke’s strong with the force he clearly has no training in it. At least not to our level.”

His master stood to his right. Captain Solo, The Princess, and the Wookie had walked out of their ship.

“for now let’s keep this between ourselves and not alert Luke” He nodded in agreement. the last thing he wanted was to frighten his child.

Luke was scouting around the ship, making sure they were safe. He offered to help but his son rejected him and as he found in the past hour, he was one weak man when it came to his child. he did as he was told.

The trio had reached them. “Well our first encounters were not the best, let’s make up for that” Organa stated. He nodded in agreement .” very well Princess” Leia shook her head and smiled “ Please call

me Leia “ he smiled in return “I’d feel better if we all are on first name bases with one another” His master stated and he nodded.

Luke’s red ship landed in the hangar.

“well now that, that’s established let’s get you two up to date!” Solo said.

Apparently, Obi-Wan and the other two had gone through the formalities.

The princess knew his master due to Bail and had asked for his help which led to this companionship.

Luke had finally reached them. He stood by Solo’s side.

“well then let’s get going!” Luke said cheerfully.

He smiled.

They sat around the round table, in the conference room of the ship. They were seven chairs around the table.

He sat between the Wookie, Chewbacca, and his master. His son sat between his friends in front of him.

“My uncle bought two droids. Who happens to be Leia’s and in possession of Death Star’s plan” So Owen Lars took in his son. he met the man only one time yet he raised his child. He guessed it was

time for him to let go of his hatred toward the Larses.

But how come his droids came to Organa household’s possession?

were they given to them at the last hours? or was it taken from them at the last hours?

“Leia, do you know how your family came into possession of Threepio and Artoo?” he asked, hand under his chin.

She shook her head “no, not really. they were kinda always there. is there a problem?” she answered back, sitting more straight now.

“not at all. They used to be my wife and I’s”

“When I first met Anakin, he was making C-3PO” His master interjected.

“It's not important. we were very good friends with your parents it’s only natural for your parents to get them” he waved his hand and went back to looking at his child “please continue”

“anyways Artoo claimed to be Obi-Wan’s and Artoo being Artoo threw a tantrum and ran away to find him” that seemed quite like something Artoo would do!

“Obi-Wan was known as Ben he lived in the outskirts”

and what was his master doing in Tatooine living in wastelands and not teaching his son anything about the force? Luke had mentioned something about his uncle but Obi-Wan was a negotiator how come he failed to make Owen Lars agree?

“Luke, why didn’t I teach you anything about the force when you were younger?” Obi-Wan asked the younger Skywalker at that very moment.

“well apparently you wanted to but my uncle was so against it that he banned you from even coming near me and vice versa so it didn't happen. You were kinda a hermit who lived in the middle of nowhere and got me scrap parts and looked after me from afar”

Obi-Wan the hermit? holly Sith this was hilarious! He couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Obi-Wan threw him a dirty glare.

he took a deep breath and tried to calm down. The universe was at stake Anakin! pull yourself together! He cleared his voice “yeah, sorry about that” 

“Actually you left me your memoir. I have it in my room, if it doesn’t break any law of the universe and force I’ll give it to you to check it out.”

he watched as his master thought. He probed the force himself and found it humming, no objections from this one.

“I think that’ll be great Luke”

“anyways we get into your hut and Artoo plays Leia’s massage. And that it contained the plan of Death Star, a giant machine that could destroy a whole planet, which you were supposed to help to

deliver it to Alderaan” he had read briefly about it on the holonet. the sadistic desires of Siths’ truly knew no ends!

“You told me you knew my father and gave me his lightsaber and told me he was a Jedi” Luke continued

wait, what? Luke had said something like that earlier but he assumed it was said to him when he was a kid!

“you didn’t know about me being a Jedi? what did they tell you about me?”

“umm that you were a navigator in a spice freighter?”

what in the kriffing seven Sith hells?

Obi-Wan snickered.

Bloody Lars, can’t do a single good thing without ruining the shit out of it. he rolled his eyes. He nodded at Luke to continue. he didn’t want his mood to soar any further.

“the older you wanted me to accompany you.” The younger male swallowed nervously. What was bothering him? “the imperials came searching for the droids and set fire to our home.” He swallowed

again “with my Aunt and Uncle gone I went with Obi-Wan to look for a ride to Alderaan” he could feel a pang of pain in his heart. his child was twice orphaned. He’ll avenge his child’s lost life. Darth

Vader the sith who played them the whole duration of clone wars would pay. He unconsciously fisted his flesh hand.

“That's when we met Han and Chewie. And got a ride to Alderaan”

he watched as the princess closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The captain shot her a concerned look while Luke took her hand.

“But we were late. Alderaan was no more.”

the horror settled in him. A whole planet with its people gone.

he looked at Leia and felt a pain across his chest “I’m so sorry”

Obi-Wan reached and gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

Luke looked at her and she nodded and gave them a weak smile.

she reminded him of Padme. Princess Leia was one hell of a woman. He found himself smiling. the idea of the princess of Alderaan being strong gave him an unexplainable assurance.

“We went to rescue Leia and you went to lower the shields for our escape”

“it was the worst rescue ever “ Leia huffed.

“really your worshipfulness if I remember correctly you were the one who found a very awesome place with an even greater smell “ Solo shot back at her.

“did you have a better idea Solo?”

“I don’t know you didn’t let me put my plan into motion, your highness!”

“you had no plans, Han!”

“Hey, your majesty as far as I remember the kid and I are the ones who rescued you!”

Obi-Wan and he exchanged a baffled look and continued to watch the two in front of them go back and forth. did they always bicker this much? By the unfazed look on Luke’s face, he guessed so. 

“any who” Luke said putting an end to their bickering.

“that’s when you came face to face with Vader” Luke’s eyes darkened. he could feel the force darkening dangerously around his son. The force danced and swelled around the child darkening with each turn and roll.

He took a deep breath. by the side of his eyes he could see his master was also taken back by the sudden darkening mood of the son of his.

“you were killed by Vader” Solo’s and Organa’s faces were seldom, eyes sad. He looked back at Luke’s eyes. vengeance poured out of his blue orbs.

He already knew his Master was killed yet he couldn't help but for his anger to boil under his skin. his already-fisted hand started to shake in anger. That Sith! he took his master!

He had to calm down. he looked at Obi-Wan and his master seemed yet again unfazed by the news of his own murder. He looked back at Luke. The darkness was consuming the very edge of his light. the sight

made something in his stomach fall making him feel like he was free-falling.

The boy blinked and the force maddening dance stopped. His blue irises were again filled with sadness.

“We escaped. I went to shoot the death star. Han came back and fired at Darth Vader. We successfully got rid of it. and well rebellion won the battle!”

“And Vader’s obsessive hunt for Luke began” Solo stated.

Obi-Wan touched his beard and went deep into his thoughts.

No matter who this Sith Lord was he was going to kill him. He grasped his fisted hand with his metal hand to stop it from shaking uncountably. He could feel the thirst for avenging this Sith for all the

wrongs he did. for taking his master. for hunting his son. For all, it could’ve been, and Darth Vader took from him!

“what do you know of this Sith Lord, Luke?” Obi-Wan asked calmly.

“he’s the empire’s navy commander and he’s second to Palpatine. He’ll be the emperor once he dies.”

the force started to darken around his child again. It swirled and tossed and turned around his Luke. The boy’s light started to fade and was replaced with darkness. His blue orbs lost their liveliness

and darkness filled it “You told me that he was once a pupil of yours who then fell into darkness”

What?

Obi-Wan didn’t have any more Padawans! He was his only one! did this happen in the very near future? is that why the force brought them here? for Obi-Wan not to take a new Padawan?

Luke's eyes fell on him. He blinked and tilted his head in confusion.

“that he was the one that killed my father”

His mouth fell open.

The force darkened even more around Luke. The younger Skywalker’s once sun-like force signature was replaced by something dark and sinister, something so messed up that he never have seen it before. Not even Dooku’s era was like that.

He blinked and Luke was standing on a mountain of corpses, fully in black. The boy opened his eyes and he gasped. They were Yellow!

An ear-to-ear grin was on the boy’s soft features, grinning at him so maliciously that sent chills down his spine. He initiated his lightsaber and the red illuminated the whole place.

“Aren’t you Happy Father?” he started to walk toward him.

“I came to your side as you wanted “ he took another step forward.

“All of these as you wanted my Father” he gestured to all the slaughtered bodies that laid motionless on the ground.

he looked at the bodies and gasped. There laid Obi-Wan! He fell to his knees and reached for his master. right by his master laid Leia and Han! he looked past the captain, and he could see the mop of furs that was undoubtedly Chewbacca’s!

He could feel the tears swelling in his eyes.

he looked up to see Luke’s smiling face. “what’s your bidding my master?”

He wanted to gag.

this was wrong, all of these were wrong!

he squeezed his eyes shot.

Luke’s sad blue eyes were staring at him. He blinked. The child’s force signature was bright like a sun, but a blanket of sorrow muted its shine.

Luke blinked and gave him a small smile. Force danced around his son. The innocence and pureness of his child bleeding into the force making it sing!

Chapter Text

His vocoder’s rhyme installed some unique kind of fear in those around him. even to those troopers and officers who were with him for a while and escaped their deaths till now.

The inhabitants of this wretched planet coward miles away from the brisk noise of his breathing.

His respirator forced a breath into his burnt lungs.

His prosthetic left hand was fisted.

The disturbance around the force was more evident here, this useless world was located so far away in outer rims, putting a distance between his and that blimming master of his fully dark influences.

The presences twinkled, and their lights became less and less evident as the band of scums scrammed further and further, taking that insolent child with them.

Skywalker smiled at Kenobi and the two jumped from their ships, lightsabers unsheathed ready to attack the droids.

His fist was hardened in an impossible grip.

He was being hunted by nightmares of two dead men.

The bazaar around him shook and crumbled into dust.

fear spiked in the force around him.

Pathetic he spat in the force

he turned on his heels and walked away.

people scrambled and tumbled to get away from his way.

He laid down on his bunk. The rebels wanted to give them their own quarters but rooms were scarce and they both respectfully rejected their kind offer and said they were fine with sharing.

So here they were, staying in two beds, room.

Anakin and Obi-Wan were no strangers to sharing, after all, they materialized here in the middle of a war where everyone shared bunks.

A part of him wanted to share it with Luke, he wanted to get to know the boy. What was he like? What did he enjoy? what did he do when he wasn’t fighting against an empire of Sith? How did he look when he was asleep?

Thinking about his son made him excited. Something in his chest would flutter at the mere thought or mention of the younger Skywalker.

Padme would’ve loved their son. A sad smile passed his feature briefly.

“rebel command ship to Anakin Skywalker. You in there general?”

Obi-Wan’s teasing voice made him abscond from his earlier daydream.

he ughed at his master’s antics.

The older the man got, the more dramatic he became!

He huffed and turned on his side to sneak a peak at the bottom bunk where his master laid.

The older man grinned at him. He rolled his eyes and laid back properly.

“what’s our next move master?”

the older man stayed silent for a moment or two.

“teach Luke, get to know everyone, restore the republic”

he grumbled “very specific my master”

“Anakin, when did we ever have a specific plan?”

well, he couldn’t object the truth!

He was separated from his armor and suit like how one separates a shrimp from its skin.

It reminded him of a lifetime ago when he was a youngling and would play with girls and watch when they dismembered their dolls. 

The droids put an oxygen mask on his face and lowered him into the bacta tank.

The liquid hit his battered and burnt body, well what was left of it at least!

courtesy of his old master!

he was too merciful on Kenobi. he should’ve cut his limbs and burnt him alive like he did to him when he was young.

He should’ve kept that old fool and burnt him over and over to make him feel a fraction of what he bestowed upon him!

and even then, he was being merciful!

Kenobi took Everything from him!

He didn’t have luck when it came to masters! One burnt him the other manipulated and humiliated him!

Sidious and Kenobi filled his anger and made its flames flare.

the bacta soothed his many many scars.

he centered himself in the force and closed his eyes.

The force presences from earlier came back to hunt him back.

He could feel the distaste of those in his mouth, and he had lost the majority of his senses!

They were no newcomers. Their initial presence was hidden he had just witnessed the mere excitement of the force around a new source of light.

but that didn’t mean they were not fools!

they were but a joke, a mere obstacle on his road to the throne!

He let the haze of bacta get to him.

He'll have his empire soon.

Sidious will be dead.

He'll seat on his throne.

And he’ll have his trophy, the boy will be His!

He welcomed the nothingness!

He could feel a rough metal on his shoulders yanking him from his bacta-induced slumber. They sat him on the table. Bacta haze fogged his mind. He looked down as his prosthetics were being attached to him.

He blinked. Prosthetics?

He looked at his body or what little there was! He had no leg, no hand, his skin was burnt and scared.

He could feel his breathing quickening. What? What was that?

He gasped and bolted on his bed. his breath was quick and shallow. He could feel his heart in his throat while hearing its rapid beats in his ears.

He trashed on his place and got rid of the blanket that was resting on him. he stared at his three flesh and one prosthetic limbs.

he cautiously made his flesh hand touch his leg.

“Anakin?” Obi-Wan’s sleepy voice called out for him.

he was intact! It was just a nightmare!

“you alright there, Anakin?” Obi-Wan’s voice was now more alert.

“Yeah” he found his voice weak.

“it’s nothing. Just a stupid nightmare” what more could it be?

“go back to sleep Obi-Wan”

The older man stayed silent.

what else could it be but his imagination?

“you can tell me anything, Anakin. You know that right?” the Jedi master spoke after a few moments.

“yeah,” his voice was soft barely above a whisper.

“Alright then, How much training do you have Luke?” Obi-Wan asked Luke.

“you were my master for like an hour or two” he said, cheeks turning red in embarrassment.

“great I steal you away and processed to die” Obi-Wan facepalmed.

Anakin rolled his eyes at the older man’s antics “he’s a drama queen!” he told his son.

“well at least he’s not speaking in riddles!”

“He spoke in riddles?” his excitement and laughter made his voice louder.

“Oh, big time!” Luke pointed at the oldest of the three “he turned into a hermit, remember?!”

The two Skywalkers hold eye contact for a few more seconds before they both burst into laughter.

Kenobi closed his eyes and put his hand on his temple.

Great, Just great. now he had to deal with TWO Skywalkers!


Anakin leaned back as he watched his master and son engage in a fight sequence. Luke was a fast learner but he was against a Jedi Master, well not any Jedi Master but a very powerful one!

But the boy showed great talent, in a few months and he’ll be on par with the order’s Jedi Knights, speed-running through years of Jedi training!

He frowned. what had happened to the temple? He had yet to ask for the specific details. But yet again Luke and Leia were too young to know and Han was just a kid then. Leia told them that they’ll

meet the high command soon, their ship was going to join the rest of the fleet, that was if everything went well and the empire didn’t find them. Palpatine. His heart panged. How could he do such a

thing? He, who he looked up to, he, who was always there for him, he, who he felt for him like a son for his father did.

He could feel his anger bubbling down under his skin, burning him from the inside like lava on his skin.

Deep breath, deep breath. He focused on Luke who had fallen down and was getting up. Obi-Wan was pointing out his mistakes. The boy took his stand and the two began again.

Luke, yes, he had a son. There was no room for rash decisions.  

his eyes were following the younger man’s moves.

Yes, High Command! it turned out Mon freaking Mothma was the head of the command and one of the founders! And of course, it would be her! Padme, Bail, and She were an unstoppable force fighting for the democracy of one unfair universe.

His heart was in shreds, his angel was gone. Died without even knowing their baby boy. He closed his eyes.

the pain of losing a loved one rivaled none. It was as if his heart was ripped from his chest and stabbed a thousand times. yet again it felt unfair to compare it as it didn’t do the pain justice.

One would lose a part of himself once he lost a loved one.

he didn’t know how much he had left of himself after his Mom & angel.


he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

he could feel a pressure on his chest making him breathe in a rhythmic cycle like he was being forced to breathe by a respirator.

wait, what?

Beep, Beep

He snapped his eyes open.

His Commlink! his commlink from their time!

Luke and Obi-Wan had stopped their fight and they were looking at him.

“Anakin?” Obi-Wan asked.

He fished out his old commlink.

“How?” Luke mumbled as the three stared at the small device in his hand beeping as if someone was calling him.

The commlink that no one alive, besides Obi-Wan obviously, had its number.

he could hear a distant pair of footsteps approaching the training room.

The small device twinkled in red.

the door burst open “Commander, Empire!” a man in alliance’s uniform said between breaths.

Luke deactivated his lightsaber and turned on his heels walking toward the newcomer. He was about to pocket the beeping device when his son turned “ we’ve got this. take that. Make sure they don’t track us!” and sprinted out.

The little device kept on beeping between his fingers.

Obi-Wan now stood by him.

he clicked on the device.

“Ani, thank god”

The pressure on his chest was back, forcing him to breathe.

Padme?

Chapter Text

There are men who’ll betray the empire for what they think is right.

and there are those who’ll betray for their gain.

and some are just mad men…

Betrayal can be done for revenge

or to save their loved ones!

But did the reason behind it change the fact that it was treason?

Everlast stood in front of him tall. He was in all black, with Endoler’s royal symbols embroidered with gold threads across his coat.

“My lord Vader “ and bowed ever so lightly.

he straightened his back looking toward his helmet. People tend to be much more terrified of him.  but Mik Everlast was different.

he held himself tall and had an undertone of mockery whenever he was communicating with anything to do with the Empire, even with Palpatine himself. yet he stood by him every empire day,

celebrating the birth of the empire while berating it subtly.

The man had an ego compatible with Palpatine’s.

“Lord Everlast” his distaste was not shown by his vocoder. Yet, he was the one who asked for him.

he pointed to the chairs in his office “you may sit”

the other man smiled “no need for pleasantries my lord. you demanded my presence and I’m here my lord.” He walked passed him toward the window that was facing his back.” but I do confess you

have rather an astonishing view my lord” he stopped a few feats from the window. “what’s my bidding, Lord Vader?”

his respirator kept his breath steady.

Mik Everlast . he fisted his prosthetic. There was something unsettling about the man. He did whatever he wanted to with no reciprocation, yet again he had done nothing wrong but to serve the empire.

But it felt as if everything he had ever done was not for the empire but for himself. Even so, he was a hard man to kill. However, he frankly didn’t mind Everlast’s mockeries of the empire. Palpatine was

rather an old fool, not worthy of the name of Sith or empire; so, it all was fair!

Still, with all the shade surrounding him, Mik Everlast was the only one to be able to execute his plan without Sidious finding out.

He'll deal with him after he’ll becomes the Emperor!

He turned and walked to stand by the other man’s shoulder.

“what are your thoughts on the rebellion?”

the man was silent for a few seconds. they both stared straight at the scenery of the space available from the viewpoint of his window.

“They are rather getting the upper hand, aren’t they?” he said more cheerful than he ever heard from the man.

“what do you want me to do my lord?” his voice was once again monotone.

“do you know the name of the pilot who’s responsible for the death star?”

Lord Everlast turned and looked at his side profile. ”I was immensely shocked once I heard  his name.” the man turned back to his previous position “it seems the universe had gained itself another
Skywalker”

he looked at the viewpoint, no he had gained himself a Skywalker, a son.

“I want you to evaluate him, to spy on him for me “

“spy on a single boy, not the whole alliance?”

“the rebellion is a lost cause, the boy is the only one with value “

“ a single boy worth more than a whole organization?”

“I don’t expect you to understand it, Everlast”

“ah yes, another fallen Jedi that the empire requires !”

Mik Everlast was a smart man, a smart man who had a hunger for knowledge, that sort of knowledge that can crumble empires.

“I remember Count Dooku, he was once a Jedi master “

he remembered the guy that took his hand, well one of them.

“What did happen to Anakin Skywalker?”

He felt anger bubbling down under his very poorly constructed peaceful façade. How dare he ask questions that were none of his business. And to top it all uttering that wretched name!

“that young fool perished by my hands like all other Jedis!” he spat but as always it came in a monotone voice thanks to his vocoder.

“Well then” Everlast turned toward him and bowed “consider it done my lord. I’ll be contacting you to share my gains.” And walked out of the room

Mik Everlast walked toward his shuttle, giving no mind to his surroundings, after all, all the empire’s fleet and men all looked the same, what was new in white, black and grey uniforms and platforms?

his guards bowed once he reached his shuttle’s bridge.

“we’ll be taking off” he said and walked off to his office.

Lord Vader was an interesting man, pathetic but quite interesting.

he was Palpatine’s lap dog, no record to find, a sith lord who came out of nowhere!

but no one came out of nowhere, especially someone like Vader!

he, who was always so emotional, blinded by his anger, driven by his emotions rather than logic.

Oh, it was all too easy to find Darth Vader’s roots.

a knock on his door brought him back to reality.

Dewayne, the high General of Endoler was standing at his door firm.

“Please come in my friend”

The man was tall and built strongly, he was wearing the dark blue uniform of Endoler’s Army.

The General sat down on a chair across from him.” so what did Vader want?”

he reached over for the wine bottle and poured some for the two of them.

“our dear friend Vader thinks about a coup and overthrowing Palpatine!”

he gave the other man his glass and took a sip out of his.

“oh” Dewayne said unimpressed. “How come so?”

“It's the first thing you see once you look at him”

“so what has changed? Vader was always a puppet!”

he looked at his glass “who do you think Vader is under the mask?”

The taller man raised his eyebrow.

“what if I tell you our dear friend Vader gave away his identity?”

the other man took another sip and stared at him.

“word’s about to change again my dear friend, and we’re at the very heart of it”  

Dewayne put down his glass.

“Lord Vader is Anakin Skywalker” and he took another sip of his wine.

Chapter Text

Anakin has been gone with Obi-Wan.

He was in the middle of another fight again. She understood that it was a war but still she couldn’t help but worry about him.

she unconsciously touched her tummy. She was getting bigger, and so was the baby.

she stood on her balcony, looking over the very heart of the republic.

the war was lasting longer and longer and Palpatine was getting more powerful.

Earlier today she held a secret meeting with Bail and Mothma. Something was happening behind the scene, they had to act quickly and trust no one, if not it could be too late.

She hated how much Ani trusted Palpatine. She couldn’t find any fault in the old man but a person with that much power did not show that much interest in someone unless he wanted something. but

Ani was blinded by his emotions and need for a father figure.

she wished Anakin would see that father figure in Obi-Wan but he was more of a brother.

sometimes she wished Qui-Gon Jinn was still alive and was Ani’s master. She had nothing against Obi-Wan but perhaps the latter could fill the father figure Anakin desperately wanted. and perhaps if it was like that Palpatine would never grow close to him.

She sighed.

well, that was never going to happen. There was no time to dwell on what-ifs.

she was going to drag him to Naboo after the baby came. And hopefully, by then the war was over and Palpatine no longer held so much power and neither was the chancellor.

The ground under her feet shook violently and she desperately reached for the wall to hang to it.

what was that?

earthquake? on coruscant? that wasn’t possible!

the world shook and became dark. She clutched her tummy and crouched down and closed her eyes praying that nothing will happen.

the vibration stopped she opened her eyes and crawled inside the house.

Padme grabbed the wall decorations and stood up.

the house was run down. it was trashed out and old, dust was everywhere, which tickled her throat and made her cough.

“Threepio?” she said out loud.

nothing

“Threepio?”

silence

perhaps something happened to the droid whilst the earthquake

she turned to look outside from her balcony and see the situation of the city.

she gasped, and her hand went toward her mouth.

the Jedi temple was down. It was in ruins. She looked around. everything was intact. The buildings looked slightly different.

she reached down for her tummy and didn’t feel anything.

WHAT?

her breath quickened, and she looked down. Her stomach was flat like before she got pregnant.

she clutched the fabric in her middle and tugged on it. There was no baby. She was no longer pregnant! Her hand shook and her knees felt weak. she fell on her four panting heavily.

What The Fuck Had Just Happened?

“well, that’ll be it” Mace Windu announced as he ended the council’s meeting.

He was the only Jedi master currently in the capital. The war was stretched far and wide.

and he doubted the senate. Well, Palpatine. He did all the things right but with every day that passed, he would gain more and more power.

it was just a matter of time till he was corrupted!

He stood up from his sit.

he had to call Kenobi. perhaps Skywalker had found something about the chancellor. Although the younger man was not to be trusted that much!

He knew well that he broke the Jedi code and was with Senator Amidala, and so did Yoda, but they all agreed that was a fling, something everyone does when they’re young. after all, most of the

masters and knights had gone through it.

But now, he suspected that the Senator was expecting. he was not so sure what would be Skywalker’s next move. He had so much fear in him and made decisions based on his emotions rather than

what should be done.

But there was nothing that can be done now, after all, he was the hero with no fear and the face of the republic, it would be not good for the Jedi’s image to get rid of their poster boy.

the ground underneath him shook. The force swayed and wrapped itself around him blinding him.

he blinked and it was gone. The vibration and the tsunami of force were both gone.

he looked around and reached for his lightsaber unsheathing it.

the temple was in ruins.

force screamed in pain and agony.

he started walking, dark corridors illuminated by his purple lightsaber.

he reached the padawans quarters and opened the door.

the absolute scream of force made him stumble on his feet.

the force screamed in bloodshed.

what the hell happened here?

the force overall was dark

it felt as if it was dominated by Siths!

What The Fuck Has Just Happened?

Padme clutched her holopad. She couldn’t believe what she saw.

it was nearly 20 years in the future and bloody Palpatine was the Emperor!

No information was found on holonet about Jedis aside from them being betrayers and according to holopedia she was dead!

and her baby was gone! She could just kill Palpatine with her bare hands!

she put on her cloak’s hood. Coruscant wasn’t safe for her. She should go to Naboo or Alderaan to Bail’s, there she could regroup and find out what had happened and what to do next.

she grabbed her blaster. there should be some shuttles left in Jedi temple, that was her way out.

 After the betrayal of Jedis, Chancellor Palpatine, who was directly assaulted by the Jedi traitors and survived the attempt on his life, was elected by the senate to fully take control of the galaxy.

Our gracious emperor with the help of the keeper of peace, lord Darth Vader restored peace and security back to our galaxy. 

so the Jedis were gone, murdered by Palpatine’s order. and of course, he was the Sith lord and had a new apprentice.

they’ve been fools, blinded and ignorant. How could they not see how it all was Palpatine’s plan all along?

he pocketed the holopad. There should still be a shuttle or two in the hangar, if he could get it to fly, he’ll be out of here and in search of any surviving Jedis in hiding. He needed to start a secret order

and try anything to overthrow the Siths!

She walked down the dark corridors leading to the hangar bay, blaster in her hand, ready to shoot.

she heard another set of footprints and turned sharply, ready to shoot.

“Senator Amidala” she heard Master Windu’s voice and saw his silhouette seconds later.

“Master Windu” she acknowledged the man.

“I see the force has  transported you to this hell too”

so that was what the earthquake was!

she lowered her blaster and the man approached her.

“Palpatine’s the emperor apparently and we’re all dead”

“it seems so” he nodded and looked at her from head to toe.

“Did something happen during the transfer?”

she couldn’t tell him about the baby.

“no” she turned around “ we better be going Master Jedi. we should get out of here . the sooner the better” and walked away.

Mace Windu followed her. “You were expecting senator.”

her breath hitched “I beg your pardon?”

“you and Knight Skywalker were together I assume he was the father”

“it’s not important anymore “

“the baby might be alive and well in this timeline, Senator”

she refused to feel or get her hopes up.

she stayed silent.

they walked in silence till they reached the hangar.

there were two shuttles there, both were old even for 20 years ago.
“I’ll check the one on the right” she said and the Jedi master nodded.

she boarded the ship. it was a small 2-passenger ship with a bathroom. the pantry was full, with 20 years old goods.

she crossed the tiny room.

the control panel was all rusty. She clicked on the engine button but the old piece of junk didn’t budge.

“damn it”

fuck this ship and fuck this timeline

she took a deep breath and exited the ship

“I fear this ship’s just a piece of scrap metal”

Mace Windu got out of the other ship” I think this one will do “

she nodded
“Where do you want to go, senator?” the Jedi master asked her.

“I was thinking of Alderaan. Bail Organa will help us”

the Jedi nodded “I suggest checking the holonet to make sure he’s still the senator. Palpatine could’ve gotten rid of him”

right.Palpatine.the guy who killed all she cared for.

she fished out her 20 years ago version of holopad and logged in holonet.

Who’s Alderaan’s Senator?

Bail Organa was the last senator of Alderaan before the late Grand Moff Tarkin found out about the treason of Alderaan and being the base of the terrorist organization called the rebellion-alliance.

wait, what?

“it seems we won’t be able to go to Alderaan, Master Windu”

the Jedi turned from where he was checking the panel outside of the ship and walked by her. She gave him the holopad.

“what could’ve happened to Alderaan?”

the Jedi typed quickly, a second later he let go of a pained sigh.

she turned and grabbed the device from him.

After Princess Leia Organa was caught with the galaxy’s security holos, on her way to Alderaan to execute the plan of mass attacks on citizens of the empire, the late Gran Moff Tarkin, based on the

treason evidence of Alderaan, ordered the annihilation of the terrorist’s base to save the lives of billions of people.

Oh God.

He had killed them all.

A whole planet.

“How did he destroy the whole planet?” she heard Windu from her side.

How did the annihilation of Alderaan occur?

Death Star

project Death Star, was a top-secret moon-shaped ship, to protect the citizens across the empire.

“so what Palpatine has a whole moon to destroy planets?” Windu said.

“it seems so” that lowered their chance of any sort of rebellion. Damn it all!

Underneath the article, it was a big wanted in red.

she scrolled down.

a blond young male with blue eyes, so similar to Anakin, was staring through the picture at her.

60000 credits for rebel scum Luke Skywalker responsible for the destruction of the death star

must be alive

she could see a brunette girl, a guy, and a Wookie too.

Princess Leia Organa, Capitan Han Solo, Chewbacca.

but the boy, all she could focus on was the blonde boy. Luke Skywalker.

“it looks like after all your child has survived senator”

Luke. She knew it was going to be a boy. Luke. she wanted to name the baby that.

Can Ani be alive? after all their little one was alive and she was gone. It must’ve been Ani who raised their Luke then.

“Master Windu, could Anakin be alive?”

the Jedi thought for a few seconds “perhaps. The force is dark here I can’t be sure. First, we should get out of Coruscant.”

She nodded and the two walked to the ship.

It took them some maneuvering and a very dangerous flight to get out of  Coruscant and into hyperspace.

they were coming out of hyperspace.

He looked to his side when Amidala sat.

He didn’t know what to think of Skywalker's adventures with the senator but it looked like the result of their fun time was leading a rebellion and exploding giant genocidal devices!

He couldn’t be that mad. He guessed.

finding the young Skywalker was a priority now. They could regroup with old friends there.

the senator grabbed her commlink and was staring at it while it was daling.

perhaps Qui-Gon Jinn was wrong. What if Anakin was not the chosen one? what if Skywalker’s child was the chosen one? What if they were sent here to help him bring balance?

Amidala was trying her best to not show any emotion, but he could feel how with each ring that went unanswered fear would consume her more.

it was hopeless.

and then, suddenly, Skywalker and Kenobi showed up, looking just like 2 days, when they left Coruscant, 20 years ago.

What?

That was impossible!

did the two also time travel?

what the hell was going on here?

The senator’s shoulder relaxed and went down and she took a sigh of relief.

“Ani, thank god”

Chapter Text

He ran as he was putting on his bright orange flight suit . The hanger bay was full of commission as everyone was scattering to get to their position.

"Kid!" Han shouted.He turned momentarily to acknowledge the older man " stay here Han" he said as he helped Artoo to be taken by the magnet rod to be placed on its pit." you sure kid?"

"Probably just another random imperial patrol " the older man nodded "take care of yourself Luke" he nodded" you too. see you in a bit " and jumped inside his X wing .

He took off and to the vast void of space.

Anakin stared at his wife silhouette. how? how was this possible? not that he was mad or anything about on the contrary the joy he felt as he saw his wife was unmatched. he could for the first time

freely have his little mismatched family.

"Skywalker" Mace Windu's voice boomed through the comm. oh, OH! well there goes him freely having his little mismatched family. the Jedi master came in front of the holo comm. "Master Kenobi" he

acknowledged his master . "quite strange situation we all have found ourselves in"

"indeed. I assume you both are healthy and haven't encountered much difficulties ?" Obi-Wan continued the conversation , he tuned out the two and stared at his wife who no longer was pregnant who

clearly was expecting and very much heavily pregnant last time he saw her.

"No need to worry Skywalker. i guess only one version  of your child could've been in a timeline and i guess the force went with the one who's exploding giant imperial war stations "

Anakin could feel the tip of his ear burning and turn red in shame. Great just great master Windu would kill him for breaking the jedi code that was after he absolutely humiliated him tho and

considering his lack of trust in him and his general dislike that was always aimed at him he should probably say goodbye to be officially a jedi. "you're lucky there's no long a jedi counsel to uphold a

jedi code for you to be set on trails "

"if we all can discuss all these in a better set up it'll  be very much appreciated master jedi" Padme interjected putting an end to the berating. " I guess the two of you have already contacted the rebellion

?" she asked. his master nodded" in fact we are with them in their fleet at this very exact moment" " very well then we wish to join you two" the two nodded , it was the best and most safe course of

action for the two to join them considering that if somehow the imperials find out about them they'll be hunted down and that was not something he could even think about considering that one of the

two was his wife.

"We can send you our coordinates and you guys can jump as near as possible "he finally said .

" We do have to ask the princess for permission, Anakin" Obi-Wan said in a slightly warning tone.

and like that the princess was there standing in the door frame like she somehow sensed and the force had summoned her " what's going on here?" she said in an accusing tone one much like padme's .

" we've been contacted by two of our friends from our time one which happens to be Luke's mom , Leia " Obi-Wan answered . the girl gave them a suspicious look before studying the two on the comm

a bit more. it was uncanny how she resembled his angel if he didn't know  better he would've thought they are somehow related . "i suggest for them to go to outer rim and we'll contact them as soon as

we get these imps out of our hair" his wife nodded " seems like a wise decision for now" a sudden loud noise and the whole ship shook violently " we've been hit " he said loud . "it's not possible they

should be a small patrol " Leia said as she was about to turn and run she came face to face with Solo , the man grabbed her by her arm making sure she would not fall "it's Luke, We're under attack" he

said as he shoved the comm link in to her palm " Leia get the fleets in to hyperspace. star destroyers are here!"he heard his son say it before the comm went silent. shit! " we could help!" he said ready

to run to his ship. " no it's too dangerous" the princess said . " we fought in clone wars there's not a space ship i can't fly" he said annoyed by her rejection. " listen here pal, we've got some damn good

pilots out there who know each other and practiced together . it's a war not a one man combat . and on top of that we have Luke. that kid is nuts he'll crush the crap out of them" Solo interjected "

maybe next time we all can fly to help Luke but now it's not the right time" the princess continued trying to soften Solo's words.

he manoeuvred his x wing as he shot the last of the patrol ships . " Commander back to the mother ship?" he heard his fellow squadron. everything seemed peaceful they've got the last of their enemies

down and they could go back and ready themselves to relocate. but he couldn't shake it off. he could almost hear old Ben's ObiWan's voice in head trust the force Luke

"not yet. i'll be doing one last patrol . gold squad go to defend position"

one last round he thought. he circled the area and positioned himself at the top of their fleet. you're being paranoid skywalker. he was about to go down when he felt it a sudden change in the force. a

cold  dread silenting the chirping of the force. Darth Vader was here!

right in front of him the space folded on itself and he could see star destroyers coming out of hyperspace. "This Is Commander Skywalker We're Under Attack. Everyone To Their Positions" the TIE

fighters started dispatching from their mother ships "NOW!" he free falled and came in front of his squadron formation "Artoo get Leia" he focused on the ships that were coming his way and let the

force engulf him. " Leia get the fleets in to hyperspace. star destroyers are here!"

he disconnected as soon as he was done .

he manoeuvred the x wing as the TIE fighters kept dropping on them like a pouring rain. he dodged and aimed . " gold squad keep your position and defend the fleet. " he turned swiftly and kept

shooting "mother ship it's rouge five. open your artillery " he dropped on TIEs and covered for Wedge. "Commander Skywalker it's mother ship, are you sure?" " positive. start firing and process with the

jump" he went to left " red squad with me. " he kept shooting as he and his squad danced around finding their way around the many many black TIEs. " we'll hit the front star destroyer's engine and we'll

fall back . the first of fleets will jump we'll continue till it's time of the last batch to jump and we'll go with them " a synchronised "yes sir" was heard .

he turned left. gold squadron was standing still on their defend position, defending the fleet to hyperspace jump. he hit the accelerator . the rest of the red squad followed their commander swiftly

toward the second destroyer. he was pretty sure of the fact that the more he pulled this stunt the harder it would get as the imperial's navy would be able to predict more of their actions. Wedge fired

the second engine and this time they fall back to the right side. More of TIE fighters were getting dispatched making it harder for them to doge and shoot them. he took the front position. this was the

last turn , they'll be out of here in a blink . he flew straight and turned and dogged going straight for the third one . they had no time left the first star destroyer would gain back its engine in a few

moments and they all would be doomed. he went down and flew under the huge navy of the Empire. he looked up, he wondered which one was Vader at.

his team fired their last target and he swiftly turned . he made sure all of his followers were in front as he positioned his X-wing at the tail of the triangle. that was it. they were done. he watched as the

last of their fleet got ready to jump into the hyperspace. he was aware of the fact that all the three destroyers were going to be functional again . he felt a cold hand on his nape and the force choke

around him. Vader! TIE fighters surrounded them . Kriff! he dodged and tried to defend . the TIE fighter that was chasing him cut his route.

Force  felt like thousand knifes cutting through it .he felt a possessive hand reaching through to force toward him. there was no way they could make it with him chasing him . he took a deep breath .

it'll be alright Luke, Trust the Force.

he turned around and ran head first toward the TIE fighter. "LUKE" he heard Wedge scream his name as the last of them jumped into hyperspace. he could feel the gravity of the neighbouring planet

pulling the two crashing ships toward it. the ships danced around each other. he could feel the possessive coldness around himself, anger seeping through it grabbing him and pulling every string of

force to reach to him.

he fasted his hand over his control" be ready for the impact Artoo" he braced himself and the X-wing hit the ground. force , he hoped his opponent  Vader landed worse than him .

he felt the impact and he felt it through his body. he closed his eyes and took a deep breath . trust in force Luke.   he opened his eyes.

he couldn't hear anything else aside from his own ragged breathing. he opened his seat belt and was about to open the cockpit when it moved up . he felt like he was tossed inside a frozen lake. force

was cold as death. the air was stilled. no sound but of those rhythmic of a vocoder.

"Skywalker"

Chapter Text

"we will contact you as soon as this mishap is over" Obi-Wan said . Anakin had his stoic general face back "stay safe and contact us regularly"

"don't worry Skywalker the Senator will be safe with me " Windu couldn't help but to give his side remark. "take care you two" Padme said "may the force be with you" Windu ended the call with that

quote and it was back to just Obi-Wan and Anakin in a rebel ship that was under attack. the ship shook again as hundreds of laser beams kept hitting it. "it's sure some sort of handling" the younger

man grumbled." stop being disgraceful Anakin. they are doing their best with what limited resources they have" the jedi master taunted him the younger man ended up avoiding his gaze in return. the

two watched from the window as the battle , well if one could even call it that, kept going on .

right then , as they were getting more assured that their jump was gonna put an end to all this dog fights a black customized fighter cut the rebellions well crafted X-wing formation.

"Kriff" Anakin Cussed. the black fighter scattered the X-wings and opened the formation for the others to infiltrate the squadron. "if he keeps it up we won't be able to jump and they'll be all dead"

Anakin could feel anxiety boiling under his skin.Luke. "that level of skill is almost as good as yours" Obi-Wan observed. the two jedis could feel the unease and hopelessness growing in the pit of their

stomaches. they were not used to standing still and watching.

the last of X-wings , the one trailing the triangle that they were so desperately trying to keep turned and run head first into the fighter.

Anakin could feel his heart dropping in to the pit of darkness . "Luke!" he screamed he could feel the rage bubbling down , shaking the room with his anger. "Calm Down Anakin!" he swallowed his rage ,

trying his best to keep up his appearance. "anger is path to dark side." Obi-Wan said sternly. he tightened his already tightened fist. it was not like Obi-Wan understood, always putting a leash on him ,

restricting him every chance he've got, having absolutely no clue to empathize or how he felt; always blinded by those radical jedi codes!

the older man took a deep breath "i'm sorry Anakin." he put a hand on his shoulder stopping his spiral in to rabbit hole of hatred. he blinked and his rage and hatred was gone . the concern for luke was

eating him from inside. " force is strong with young Luke." he swallowed hard his hands still in a tight fist his eyes focused and sharp "i'm going after him" and sprinted out of the room. -

"for kriff's sake kid answer the damn comm" Han screamed as he ran to the hanger bay.Leia toeing him. "ANTILLES!" she shouted. the raven pilot turned showing his face too devastated , pupils blown

on , hands shaking uncontrollably . the man reached for his hair and pulling it while he slide down on the ground "god,Luke!"

Solo kept cussing under his breath.

Falcon was already , ready to go as soon as they were out of the hyperspace. Chewbacca was standing on its bridge. the wookie howled as he saw the duo.

"It must've been Vader" Laia said between gritted teeth . the smuggler's frown deepened , there was no doubt in it . the second in command and heir to the empire had taken a sickening liking toward

the kid, either to kill him or god forbid something much more horrifying that death seemed like mercy in front of it!

"Princess!" the two turned to see Anakin Skywalker stomping his way toward them. the smuggler had seen that way of stomping before. the air around jedi felt like it was burning .

Darth Vader...

right back to the initial problem the actual threat that was now alone with Luke!" I'm on my way to get Luke" he announced. "hold your horses pal where do you think we're off to?" Han said sarcastically

coming a step forward toward the jedi knight and making sure Leia is now behind him. "Captain,Princess.Anakin!" Obi-Wan finally joined them. "there's no need for hostility i know we all are feering for

Luke but the force is strong with him" he said sternly trying to calm down the underlying argument that was bubbling under the surface."i guess you guys were about to set your plan before Anakin and

I interrupted" he continued. the air was laced with tension . "you've got problem with this buddy?" "no need to antagonize each other captain" the older jedi tried to calm down the situation."you don't

understand.Luke rammed his ship into Vader's and that freak has his obsession with the kid. i ain't sitting around waiting to find out " he lashed out ."i'm his father like hell i'll be wasting time and let

vader do anything to him!" Anakin lashed back."Both Of YOU are Wasting the Time Now!" Leia countered at the two.Kenobi sighed " Anakin!" he said in a warning tone. the other jedi tried to push his

rage down. "you'll be staying here. i'll go with them!""WHAT?"he could feel himself shake in anger."Darth Vader killed you and is hunting down your son. remember what Luke said ? i told him that he

was the one to kill you. and if i ever took another disciple somehow he had developed a vendetta against you this whole time and spent years hating you i'm quite sure he'll be able to detect your force

signature after all looks like he declared war personally on all the Skywalkers!" "you expect me to sit here and do nothing while my child is being hunted down?""listen here Anakin if you being there

somehow jeopardise saving MY FRIEND like Hell i'm letting you in buddy!" Han came and stood eye to eye with the younger Jedi.the man ignored him and turned to his master " you can't possibly think

I'll be ok with this Obi-Wan""Your presence can ruin our element of surprise Anakin""you act like i'm still a child who can't control anything!""it's not up for negotiation Anakin!""that's my kriffing SON!"

Han put a hand on the tall jedi's shoulder " if you being there screws up Luke's chances, then stay here. otherwise, we don't have time for Jedi drama!" Chewbacca growled and stood behind Solo. "you

and princess will stay here i'll be going with captain""WHAT?" Leia shouted eyes bulging out "you expect me to sit here and do nothing while Luke is being chased by that monster?" "it's not up for

negotiating for you either your highness. you possess a vital role in the rebellion and the less people we are the less the chance of our detection""like kriff i care about positions and stuff. i can help""not

today Leia" Kenobi said sounding done with the whole ordeal."Han!Say something"chewbacca growled "i know buddy we'll be going"and turned to leia "listen think about it as babysitting another

skywalker. you asked for kenobi's help first time we met and i guess we're gonna stick with the old man . if anything happens you guys can be back up""i'm not a child Han!""yeah i know" he said as he

started walking toward the bridge "i'm bringing our child back no worries" and went inside the FalconObi-Wan turned to Anakin "i'm sorry old friend but that's the only way" the younger took a deep

breath "comm me as soon as you need me there" the older man smiled " no worries Anakin we'll get Luke intact and then you can lecture him on doing brash things this is well after i'm done lecturing

you!" as the Jedi master boarded the ship the ship was finally out of hyperspace.

Chapter Text

He gritted his teeth as he used the force to lower the impact on both of the ships. they whirled around each other as the gravity swallowed them. that child of his was sometimes very insolent.

he lowered the control and braced himself for the impact. if the boy was as strong in force that he thought he'll survive the impact.

he felt the shock hitting his suit. Damn Sidious and prisoning him in the worst life support possible. patience. his master's end was near. as soon as he gets the boy to see the true power of the dark
side the old man would be gone. he'll heal and get better prosthetic. they could rule the galaxy as father and son.

he pressed his beacon. with the amount of star destroyers nearby he would be gone very soon it was only the matter of retrieving the boy.

he pointed his hand at the top of his ship and with a swift movement the top was gone. he fuled himself with force and stood up. he used all the pain and anger to fuel himself and tasted the force between his teeth.

he could see the boy's xwing still intact.good.

with a swift motion of his hand the cockpit was open. the boy had already unbuckled and was about to get out. he looked at him with his bright blue eyes. it's been so long since he had looked at those irises , they looked identical to those he used to see almost twenty years ago.

"skywalker"

the boy's eyes were blown out . his hand flinching and going toward his belt. don't do it!

the boy unsheeted his lightsaber and jumped over him. stupid child.

"i would advise against this , Skywalker!" he said monotonically he was disappointed that the disappointment was not heard through his voice due to that damned vocoder.

the boy was on his ship's wing and was letting that wretched droid out. before jumping down.

he sighed . the boy never listened, did he?so much like him... NO! he was HIS not that worthless jedi's! the anger was flowing through him like blood flows through one veins.

the boy had sheathed his saber again and was running with his blaster in his hand.

he pointed his hand and grabbed him by force.

the blond youth was struggling to free himself from his force grab. he walked toward him. there was no rush. Skywalker was coming with him. they will have eternity together.

the boy turned and turned on his lightsaber and lunched himself at him. Blue met Red.

"ENOUGH!" he was running out of patience.

the boy had already freed himself out of his grab and had landed on his feet. his grips were tight around his weapons as he shot him with his blaster before attacking him with his saber.

floosh.brave but nonetheless foolish. he easily met his blade. the boy had clearly improved. still was winging but much more improved. "you have improved much young one" he said , feeling

proud. that was first time in twenty years he felt that. and swanged his saber at him. the boy deflected and shot at him with his blasted blaster. it seemed the boy was more brash . unfortunate for him.

he swung at him and picked his pace. the boy swang back and shot at him again. he pointed at the blaster and grabbed it out of his hand and threw it away. the boy gritted his teeth and grabbed his

lightsaber with both hands , clutching to it to afraid that he'll get it out of his hand. he stroked and was met again with the blue saber. his blue saber... NO!

Anakin Skywalker was dead HE had killed him that saber was a dead man's. the anger and hatred poured out of him as did his true power, dark side. he swanged and launched at the boy.he struck one

after the other not letting the boy any chance to run. this stupidity was about to end. he pointed his hand at him and started chocking him. the Impire had finally landed its trope in the wasteland that

was the forsaken planet. good. he'll be don soon and both could leave. the boy kept trying to unwrap his grip over him with his force. she stared at him with her frightened eyes. he closed his eyes. the

pain ripped through every and each particle of his being. he felt the force of the boy pushing him away and untangling himself from his grip and launching at him. he met the boy's lightsaber with his.

he felt the irk of a familiar presence. the vehicles were being out on the planet as the stormtrooper were getting dispatched to his location. the presence he last felt on the first death star. the presence

that should be long gone. he grabbed the boy by the force again. he kept struggling against his force clutched around him.there was no way. he was the one who got rid of that presence. "Let Him Go

Vader" NO! There stood Obi-Wan Kenobi his lightsaber shining bright blue , wind making his jedi robes dance; looking like how he did when he burnt him alive twenty years ago. That's not possible. he

felt the world whirring around him. everything else stopped. how was this possible? how can Kenobi stand there look like as he did during the clone wars? HOW? he had killed the bastard for good.anger

bursted through him he threw the boy with all his anger ."KENOBI!!!" he screamed and launched at him. he whirled and launch strike after strike , the jedi master's blade kept meeting his.the two's blade

met and the two pushed against in coming face to face " how? how is it possible? i've killed you " "you strike me down and i will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine""NONSENSE!"he

screamed. the old man was playing riddles with him again. trolling him."did you come to finish what you start?" he spat out venously.a brief shadow of confusion passed on the hermit's face . it was

enough distraction for him to launch at him fully. he let his anger , hatred and pain out. the earth shook beneath their feet as he grabbed it and through it at him. that was it he would kill him for the

second time. "NO!" he heard a shout and he felt immense pain of a lightsaber hitting his back. he lost his stand and the boy took the opportunity to strike at him again. the jedi master struck him from

the front hitting him straight on his chest plate. NO! NOT AGAIN! the man striked again."Come on Kid get out of there. we can't hold ourselves against a legion of stormtroopers" he heard the

scoundrel's shout. Kenobi striked at him before running toward the boy.no.nO.NO! Kenobi would not get to come and strike him again. he would not come and steal the boy,HIS boy! he grabbed on the

force and pushed."COME ON!" he heard Solo's shout. he pushed more and stood. he felt as he was burning on lava again. Solo, the Wookie and Skywalker were already on Solo's ship's bridge. Kenobi

stood by the foot of the bridge staring at him. THEY WOULD NO LEAVE! he pointed his hand at the ship.Kenobi was on the bridge . his eyes met his and he stretched his hand out. the ground shook and

it fall over him swallowing him like once the flames did.the ship was up and running away."KENOBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!"
