It'd been a week since Han disapeared, no one knew where he was, no one in the Death Star nor in the Jedi temple, Luke was beyond worried, he knew it wasn't Han who'd hurt him but the Emperor, Han was just the intermediary, even master Kenobi knew Han, please... where are you? I need you the young Jedi tried, for the millionth time, to get to the Sith, he'd been trying since Anakin walked inside his room the day it all happened, he missed him to pieces... he just hoped Han did too Han... he pleaded, he knew he wouldn't get an answer, but he just wouldn't give up on the man, he knew he couldn't

"No luck?" A voice asked from the door, Luke looked up and saw his father standing there, the boy looked down in disappointment, the master sighed and walked to his son's bed "well, maybe I do have some luck" the Padawan looked at him and the oldest smiled, "Kashyyyk system, Mid Rim" Anakin announced, Luke's eyes widened and his heart speeded up

"What?!" The boy exclaimed in happiness "you found him?! How?" He asked, curiosity kicking in again, how did he manage to find him?

"You should thank master Windu... if there's a chance you won't get killed or something like that, he could follow the Falcon's track to the system, master Yoda insists in going himself since that planet is inhabitated by Wookies but I thought it'd be better if you did" the young Jedi smiled widely and hugged his father, thanking him over and over again "be quick, tell the Council that you volunteer to go to Kashyyyk... just say that you'll kill him and they'll let you"

After informing master Yoda about his "plans", the young Jedi ran to his X-Wing and left, he was surprised how easy it was being to get to the system, until he felt something...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Lord Vader, there's still no trace of him" an Imperial Officer said, "but we could find the young Jedi, he's heading to the Kashyyyk system, we don't know what he's going to do there but we got him"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luke flew to the system, desperate to find Han, but the closer he got, the worst he felt, something wasn't right, something was about to happen, and for some reason, Han didn't have anything to do with it

Suddenly, all the controls of the small ship were shut down, the boy felt strange, just as if he was doing something wrong. He closed his eyes, trying to focus on getting to Kashyyyk, but he was being held down and something was pulling him back, without realizing, he was in the Death Star.

The Padawan got out of the X-Wing and carefully walked around, he knew Vader was there, he really hoped he would find him, after what had happened with Han, there was no way he'd leave without getting some answers

After wandering through a few corridors and rooms, he finally found what he was looking for... or more like who he was looking for

"You can't escape now, young Skywalker" Vader said from the darkness of the corridor, the young boy ignited his lightsaber and closed his eyes, wishing Han were there, he didn't feel like fighting now, all he wanted was to find the young Sith and being there just worsened the situation

"I really wasn't planning on doing so" the young Jedi said as the Sith ignited his saber, they both went towards each other and their sabers clashed "isn't it boring to follow someone's rules?" The Padawan asked knowingly, he knew how annoying it could get to follow someone's orders but he just wanted to make the man nervous

The two sabers clashed together again and Vader spoke "if you only knew the power of the Dark Side..." he started

"Nah, maybe some other time" the boy said, knowing he had to leave or he'd get hurt

"Lord Vader, we found Solo, he's in Kashyyyk" an imperial officer said as Vader went to attack Luke again, the young boy took that chance and ran to his ship, desperate to find Han, he needed to talk to him after what had happened, the hardest part was making sure no one found out or it'd be terrible for both of them

Luke got to his ship and flew to Kashyyyk, it was really close and that made him feel uneasy, he didn't want the Empire to find Han before him, he needed time to talk to the Sith, nothing would stand in his way or he'd destroy it, no matter what it was

The Jedi was fascinated by the Wookies, he'd never seen one before, why did Han pick this planet out of all of them? He walked for a while and saw the Falcon, Han had to be there, that was just obvious "Han?" He called when he got to the ship, he heard something inside and decided it'd be better to wait for the Sith outside

"Luke?" Inside the ship, Han was reconnecting some wires to make sure the light speed worked fine, he'd been there for a week because the Falcon didn't work properly, he knew it'd be easier to escape his father and the Emperor if he stayed there, since he wouldn't be able to go much faster than the TIE fighters.

The Sith walked outside of the ship and smiled, seeing that the young Jedi was alright made his heart flutter, he really loved Luke and nothing would change that... right?
