The Empire's Fall (Pt.2)

Epilogue: Master Plan

(Darth Sideous POV)

This is quite interesting. Anakin Skywalker had two children, twin Skywalkers. Luke and Leeda. Their father is an... adequate apprentice, but his injuries hinder his abilities. If I could turn even one of the twins, or better yet, both, to the Dark Side, I could have them attack and kill their father to finish their transformation.

If both turn, I will have them fight to the death in order to further drive them away from the Light Side. Perhaps it will soon be time to reveal the newest Death Star to Vader. I will need him to further the production, as the idiot officer in charge of the construction of my newest design has not yet made much progress.

My instincts have not yet been wrong, and I believe that while on the second and more powerful Death Star, Darth Vader will meet his end, whether by his son's hand or his daughter's has yet to be revealed. For now though, I will send Vader to find the Rebels if he can. Since his children are no longer with them, perhaps it will be futile.

My plan has not succeeded the way it was intended too, but in doing things this way I will have the strongest apprentice. Whether that is Darth Vader, or one of his children, we will see. First, I will need a better plan. I must lure the Skywalkers to Vader, and to me. Yes, this plan will work nicely.

(Leeda's POV)

The return trip to Dagobah will most definitely be shorter than the trip to find our crystals, since this time we can actually go into hyperspace. Callum and I pack up camp with the efficiency and order that we have perfected in the two weeks we have travelled together. Once all of our things are loaded in the Y-wing, Callum and I have a training session. He's been teaching me Ataru, which he says is the form Master Yoda prefers, and since I like to move around a lot when I fight... Callum thought it would be a good fit for me.

Once we finish our training session, Callum and I both meditate. Since we'll likely be in hyperspace for a day or two, this will be the last chance to meditate in an even somewhat comfortable position for a while. And once we get back to Dagobah Master Yoda will have us back at nearly non-stop training until we have to leave. I hope Luke will be there when we get back.

After meditation, Callum and I make sure that there will be no trace of us after we leave. Once both of us are sure, we get in the Y-wing, and Artoo and I prepare for takeoff. Once I put in the coordinates and make sure we won't fly straight into a star, we enter hyperspace.

During the flight Callum and I tell funny, and/or embarrassing, stories about when we where kids and teenagers. One story about how he swung across part of the swamp, with Master Yoda on his back, and Master Yoda tried to pull him back, and ended up falling off of Callum shoulders, makes me laugh for a while.

My story about how Biggs and I pranked Luke back on Tatooine had us both in tears, me from remembering though. Biggs and I got a blanket and filled it with sand. We laid it down on the entrance to the garage, and I called Luke over saying that Biggs was here. He came out to the garage and once he was on the blanket, Biggs and I grabbed the corners and started dragging Luke along while he was floundering in sand. Then we dumped a bit of sand in the house, and made Luke go in the house.

Aunt Beru didn't believe that Biggs and I did it, so she made Luke clean up all the sand. And he had to take a shower, he was grounded for about a month after that I think. Though, it was payback for him trying to lock me outside during a sandstorm. So even if I had gotten in trouble, it would have been worth it.

The hyperspace flight is quite boring after the first few hours, but thankfully, we arrive at Dagobah soon. After we land, Callum and I stretch for nearly an hour. After I can move around like I'm supposed to be able too, I attempt to contact Luke using our bond. This time he actually answers.

"Hey Leeda."

"Luke! Why haven't you been answering me?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were trying to talk to me."

"It's okay. I got the stuff I need for our birthday. When will you get back to Dagobah?"

"Um.... it'll probably be a day or two at least. I'm glad that you're all right."

"I'm glad you are too. Callum and I got back about an hour ago or so, so I'll get everything ready for our late birthday celebration. I got my crystal though, so did Callum. What about you?"

"Yeah. I found mine."

"Okay, bye Luke. And happy late birthday."

"Happy late birthday to you too, little sister."
