Legacy of the Force Bound (Anakin Skywalker X reader 2)

Chapter three

The Executer was once a cruiser of loyalty and family styled friendship. It was where Ari Skywalker took her first steps, where Anakin first met his clone comrades for the first time. The place had held many blessed memories for everyone that passed through it during the clone wars. Within its halls many jokes had been shared between the 501st and 502nd, the vents Ari and Ahsoka would climb through to spy and gossip.

Now, now it was the flagship of the empire, a painful taunt by Darth Izar-eori. After the battle of Naboo the young Sith Lord had to go through painful rehabilitation, she had to have her left arm replaced right up to the shoulder, the metal in her hip had to be reforged and both legs replaced from the knee down. She took the ship from those reclaimed to the empire just to spite the man who cut her apart. The ship was now a place of despair and cold. The halls no longer were filled with laughter but marching steps of storm troopers and officers. The admiral was no longer Yularan but the radical minded Tarkin.

When the cruiser first intercepted the princess and her escort, senator Skywalker believed she'd witnessed those walls before. Though they had been renovated several times over the years she recalled the lay out. As they'd been walked along she remembered visions of her father chasing her as a child along the halls. Her real father, not the one she'd grown up with and lost a few years back. She recognised it further as they were shuffled down to another imperial craft. A space station, a huge one...

Now she lay on the floor and Leia lay on a metal bed in the cell beside her. The pair of them sheet silent, they'd already been put through a lot. Darth Izar-Eori took a personal 'liking' to the two prisoners. She wanted to break them the same way she broke (y/n) Skywalker years prior...

"Ari...you won't do anything reckless will you..?" Leia quietly asked well aware their cell was likely bugged. By this she meant 'you're not going to use the force are you?', since she was aware Ari could. There was an incident five years ago on Lothal during a supply run for the rebellion. The ships they were meant to steal were locked down but between Ari and a boy named Ezra the rebellion managed to steal them.

"I haven't decided yet, either way I promised your father I'd escort you back in one piece, and I intend on keeping that promise." Ari replied as she tilting her head against the metal floor and looked over to Leia. Ari was a year older than Leia and so wanted to protect her, she was currently a senatorial apprentice by day and rebellion smuggler by night. Her and her step brother Felix relayed information for their mother to the rebellion outpost and worked closely with Leia and Bail Organa. They were a close knit community.

As Leia gave her a concerned look they heard a bleeping outside. Both young woman looked to the door as it was opened. Two troopers stepped in and behind them followed that black robes figure of Darth Izar-Eori, a mask over the woman's lower felt helping her breath.

Anakin Skywalker was the reasons she needed help breathing now. Fifteen years ago they fought again and he left her to burn for her crimes...

"Skywalker..." She growled down towards Ari who waved back. Her yellow eyes were narrowed into a glare towards the pair, scorch marks creeping out from under her mask and hood.

"What do you want ugly." Ari taunted standing up and placing herself between Leia and the sith apprentice. The woman's expression somehow soured further and she rose her metal hand. Suddenly Ari found her airways restricted and she was choking, feet a couple of inches above the floor. Concerned for her friend Leia got up and quickly stepped around her friend.

"Stop it! Let her go Ladh Izar!" Leia demanded with authority, eyes fierce as her fathers. Her real fathers. Darth Izar just looked to her and rolled her eyes,dropping Ari down to the ground as she turned away.
