Princess of Darkness

Chapter 2

Nineteen years had passed. Alderaan now had an eighteen year old Princess Ava, who worked her soft heart out to bring down the government and people who murdered her father.

Leia Skywalker grew immensely strong in the Dark Side. Trained from the age of five, she had earned the title Darth Ruby, third in command and second in line for the Empire. She grew up hating the Jedi for keeping her parents apart, and even though it wasn't noticible because of her strong shields, hating Palpatine for not saving her mother. To take him out and rule with her father was a dream of hers, and she would do anything to carry the dream out.

Anakin Skywalker was completely gone now. Darth Vader has truly destroyed him. His face was always covered with shadows from his hood, unless with his Master or daughter in private.Even then, he was nothing of the man he used to be.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was gone as well. No one dared speak the name, and he didn't go by it anymore. He went by Ben, the name he had when he was a bounty hunter at one point. Obi-Wan died at the shores of Mustafar, screaming at his disarmed apprentice, turning, leaving with both of the men's lightsabers in hand, leaving behind Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, finishing Darth Vader and creating Ben Kenobi. He now only had a hut, a mission, and the memories of way back when, of his brother and who he used to be, of his successes and failures. Of the simple times.

Leia snapped out of her meditative state.  Why had she felt, still felt, all that emotion? It was out of place, and yet she somehow knew the whole story.

A man's betrayal.
A woman's death.

A child's, no, children's birth.

Wait what? There was only her, and perhaps the Alderaani princess, but the princess's birth didn't happen until after...

It didn't matter.

Then, there was two men, both dying in all but actual death.

The betrayer killing another betrayed, the Alderaani Senator.

Her, being taken by her father, the betrayer, to be trained and raised where she belonged.

A monster being born in place of the once kind and loving, generous, selfless man.

A broken being taking the place of the kind man's brother.

She only knew bits and pieces from which her father told her. Some of the points came to her through nothing but the Force. Though wasn't it the Jedi who betrayed the Republic, her father and the Emperor wiping them out, as they were still doing to save it?

The teenage Sith shook her head. Of course it was that way. 

But the Force never lied...

Leia had been having these thoughts for a while now. She had been wondering if she was truly on the right side, if perhaps the Sith destroyed the Republic and the Jedi tried to save it, that the Rebels were trying to bring order, not the other way around as she had been taught for so long.

"The Rebels have stolen the plans to the Death Star. We must stop them." A familiar presence announced itself.

"Of course, Father. They must be stopped, permanently." Leia's vision and rebellious thoughts were all but forgotten.

The father-daughter duo were in the pitch black hallway of a ship above Scarif. They ignited their crimson blades, Leia's a little lighter than her father's, and started slashing, hacking, and cutting down the Rebels. The pair laughed inwardly at the pitiful attempts to stop them. The plans were right there... so close...

And they slipped through the door to another ship that immediately detached.

Father and daughter didn't need words to express their anger. They returned to the Star Destroyer, and tracked the vessel to the Tatoo system. Both ships pulled out of hyperspace at the same time, and the Rebel ship was placed under heavy fire and caught in the tractor beam.

A group of Stormtroopers rushed in, and within minutes, the armor clad soldiers had defeated the band of Rebels defending the ship. Vader walked in followed by Leia-no, it was these times that she was Darth Ruby.

The troopers led the duo of darkness to where the prisoners were held.  And so began the 'mini interrogations' that the lord and lady of the Sith were known for.

*******

Hiding from the Imperials attacking her ship, Ava Organa, the princess of Alderaan, was recording a message and giving both it and the stolen plans she got from the transmission into her trusted droid, Artoo-Detoo. However, as luck would have it, she was spotted in the narrow hallways. With her droid fleeing, she pulled out a blaster and shot at the Imperials. She turned and tried to run, but the stun shot blasted at her hit her arm, and she fell. Her hands were bound, and her blaster confiscated.

*******

Leia looked on with curiosity as Princess Organa was brought to them. Even captured, the kind ans stubborn girl had an air of authority and even calm. The last point was always interesting, as even full grown men brought up in war zone shook at the idea of meeting her and her father.

"Darth Vader and his daughter, the Emperor's pets, only you could be so bold. When the Senate hears you've attacked a diplomatic-"

"Don't be so surprised." Leia cut her off, her way of saying, yeah bantha fodder, shut up you little liar.

"You weren't on any mercy missions this time, Your Highness. You passed through a restricted system and several transmissions were beamed to your ship by rebel spies. Now what happened to the plans they sent you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan."

"And your journey to Alderaan required you to go conveniently travel through the battle on Scarif when the Death Star plans were being transmitted, and travel out of your way to Tatooine?"

"My ship needed repairs. Tatooine was the closest-"

Tired of listening to the princess wriggling her way through tiny loopholes, Vader interrupted her. "You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor. Take her away!"

The young princess was shoved forward, away from the dark cloud surrounding the Sith.

A/N: IMPORTANT I want opinions on this. If you have read my one-shot book, you'll know I made a third Skywalker, making her the triplet sister of Luke and Leia. Before you vote, you might want to read it, its the first one.

I can either

Keep her out of it, and let her stay in that AU, not crossing over my ideas

Or I can add her in it, and with that Luke will have a bigger presence in the story as well

If I don't get any opinions either way, I will probably add her in it because I love her and she is my child.
