The imperial officer saw a running shadow down the hall. He let Lando aware then grabbed Leia as a defense. Luke ducked behind a wall to avoid the stormtroopers blasts. Lando squinted his eyes to see who this Luke kid was.

Chewie tried to warn Luke, but Luke didn't have time to think of the translation and continued to fire back.

"Luke!" Leia yelled to him, catching on to Chewie's plan.

"Luke!" Anakin joined her.

"Luke, don't do it it's a trap!" Leia warned, being dragged away, "It's a trap!"

Luke hung back. Trying to decide what to do. If he wanted to save his friends he only saw one option: spring the trap.

He walked through the smoke filled, white room to the entrance of the room they came out of. The room they came out of was dark. It was the source of the cold energy Luke felt. He followed it, walking onto a metal plate that rose him into an orange glowed room. The metal plate that brought him here then locked behind him, he wouldn't be able to come out. He decided that whatever he was going to face in this room, his blaster would do him no good. He opted for his lightsaber. He had sprung the trap.

"The force is with you, Skywalker." Majka's voice boomed over Luke, she revealed herself at the top of the steps. "But you are not a Jedi yet."

Luke remained silent, sullen. He stared at the woman before him briefly, noticing his heart beating rapidly in hatred for her. He calmly ignited his weapon, the glow now illuminating his features. Majka, as much as she hated it, then ignited her own red one.

They stayed in the same position momentarily, waiting for the other one to make the move. If Luke went on the offense it would break the Jedi's view of defending. Majka waited to see which would he decide, if he had the potential of darkness in him. If he did, maybe Majka wouldn't have to defect from the Empire. They could convince Anakin and Leia to join them. They could defeat the emperor and rule as a family.

  She waited. Watching her son, she had never seen him before. He had grown into such a handsome young man, just like his father. Suddenly, he swung. Becoming the offensive after his anger built up in his head about all the things Majka has done.

Luke swung over head, Majka with one hand pushed him back. She was testing him. She would never hurt him. He fell back onto his bottom and stood back up quickly. She saw he had very little training in lightsabers, so she would train him now.

Luke walked forward a few times, urging Majka to take the swing. But she wouldn't, forcing Luke to take the offensive instead, to take the darker role.

Lando waited for his commands to follow. While the, now, prisoners and stormtroopers were following Lando, Lando's men turned to point their blasters at the stormtroopers.

Leia, Anakin, and Chewie all stopped frozen.

"Well done." Lando worked ahead and removed the troopers weapons from their hands, "Hold them in the security tower, and keep it quiet. Move."

  Lando handed the blasters to Anakin and Leia, "Sorry it's no lightsaber, but hopefully it'll do you some good." He told Anakin.

"What do you think you're doing?" Leia protested, she had no problem with escaping, her problem was with him. Do all of this to them then try to half-ass save them at the last minute? As if this would make up for it?

"Getting us out of here." Lando assured her, now beginning to unlock Chewie's and Anakin's handcuffs.

"I knew it all along, that there had to have been a mistake." 3PO said, relieved.

"You think that after what you did to Han that we're just going to-" Leia began to set off, but so did Chewie and he is much louder and stronger. Chewie grabbed Lando's throat, squeezing.

"I h-had no choice.." Lando breathed out.

"What are you doing? Trust him! Trust him!" 3PO screamed. Anakin sat back a bit, he decided to let his daughter choose his fate.

"Oh well, we understand. Don't we Chewie? He had no choice." Leia said, and that's when he saw it. The little spark inside Leia, she had so much anger inside of her. All the rebels did.

If Majka were to come back, would they accept her the way Anakin had? Leia surely was a ball of fire, she took after her mother. As a Jedi, they never even considered if Dooku enjoyed all he thought he had signed up for. What was Dooku trying to protect? Was he all evil? (Y/N) was the only one who ever saw a shade of gray, but mistook it for the dark black that resided in the evil. She was colorblind in a war based on the darkness of sides. The same war still stands and nobody realizes the issue of not listening to each other. Anakin saw the side of (Y/N) that killed Count Dooku in the eyes of Leia, she never took a second look. Never learned or even truly cared about why Lando did what he did, but because he wronged her, he deserved death. It hit him that his love for (Y/N) had blinded him of the reality that Majka had committed thousands of crimes, he began to doubt his theory. So many rebels hated her for all the harm she had caused. Maybe she was right, it was too late for her.

"Leia, please!" Anakin begged. He had to teach them forgiveness. Chewie let go at Anakin's harsh tone.

"No! We don't need any of his help." Leia said calm yet aggressive in manner. She held Lando down to the floor without a second thought, she was using the force for the first time. Almost exactly the way her mother had.

"H-H-H-an" Lando tried to choke out.

"What?" Leia asked.

"It sounds like Han." 3PO muttered.

"Leia, let him speak! Stop this, now. There are better ways." Anakin held his daughters arm. It was then that Leia came back to this reality, looking at her Fathers noble hand. Leia shuttered back, scared of herself. Had she really done that? She felt cold.

"There's still a chance to save Han." Lando told them, regaining his breath and feeling the bruises that had formed on his neck, "On the east.. platform."

"Let's go then." Leia said, wanting to forget all about the incident. She hated so much that a part of herself had the darkness dwell in her.

"Leia, wait." Anakin tried to talk to her about it.

"No, Han is still here. And he's not going to leave. Not without me." Leia didn't hesitate. Of course, she got the communication skills of her mother when it came to emotions. She raced in the direction of the east platform, Chewie close behind.

"Sorry." Anakin muttered, putting his own anger with the man beside as he began helping Lando up.

"It was justified for how I'd been acting." Lando shrugged it off, getting the reasoning for the deed. Honestly, Lando would've done the same, "Did you know she could do that?"

"She's always had it in her." Anakin said, dusting it off and noting it as something to tell her about next time he can.

Anakin began realizing his new place in all of this very quickly. Hearing your entire life that you must "bring balance to the Force, destroy the Sith" had all been so vague. The prophecy has haunted him for years, and for the first time he had decided maybe it had been misinterpreted.
