A/N: so here is a fanfic from one of my throwaway fanfic accounts. I'm not sure if this is going to qualify as a serious fic or a crackfic. Originally the fic started as What if Leia gave herself to Jabba in exchange for Han and much like a virus it kind of mutated into something beyond just the original premise. So we'll see how it goes. And yes I am a big fan of the multiverse so I'm designating Galaxy numbers (since this is more than just earth)
Luke once again wiggled the fingers of his prosthetic hand. He still had to get used to the thing. Though the mechanical limb was supposed to feel as natural as the real thing, it still required calibration and therapy to fully get control of. It also did not help that so many questions still rolled in his mind. Was Vader telling him the truth? Was he really Luke's father, the great hero known as Anakin skywallker. There was still a part of him that could not believe it, and yet, searching his feelings, there was a strong part of Luke that told him that the dark lord was in fact telling the truth.
"Are you alright?" A voice rang out.
Luke turned around to see Leia walking text to him. Ever since Han had been captured, she had been watching him every chance that she had. The young boy gave a half smile before quietly saying "I'm fine."
Leia didn't buy it. She had known the young man long enough to know when the he was trying to hide something and now was no exception. "What's wrong?"
"I told you I'm fine." Luke started to protest but quickly relented with a sigh when it clear that she wasn't buying his bluff. "I fought Vader on Cloud City. He told me something that's shaken me up a bit."
"What did he tell you?" Leia asked. "Do you want to talk about it? Is it important?"
"It's not military related." Luke Assured. Leia let out a visible sigh of relief. As much as she would have loved information from the emperor's right hand, she didn't want to make him afraid that he was hiding important info. Luke continued to speak.
"As far as talking about it. I don't think I can. At least not until I know it's something I can confirm."
"Suit yourself."
As leia started to walk away, Luke called her back."
"Hey Leia, I have a strange hypothetical question."
"Go ahead."
"If Darth Vader of all people Decided to defect and join the rebel alliance, would you accept him?"
Leia's eyes widened. "Did he…." Luke shook his head. "No, but I don't think he's as loyal to the empire as he likes to portray."
"Well, I mean if he were to defect somebody would have to vouch for him. Even then High command demand he be fully integrated. he would be a dream asset but I don't think anyone within the rebellion would be willing to serve under him."
"Gee can't imagine why. It's not like he the face of an evil tyrannical regime or anything."
Leai couldn't help but snicker at luke's joke, only for her face to turn grave shortly after. "…and that's assuming there will be any rebellion left to serve under."
Luke was about to protest but found he couldn't. The rebellion had nearly suffered an ultimate defeat at hoth, and while some transports had managed to escape, the ones that had appeared at rendezvous point were all that was left, and even they were battered and wounded. If an imperial fleet or worse, Lord Vader were to find them, then it would certainly mean the end of the rebellion.
Luke opened his mouth to speak but soon felt a strong tingling in the back of his skull.
"What is it? Leia asked.
"Luke's eyes widened in horror. "Leia he's here!"
The ship suddenly shook with a mighty tremor causing Leia to get shoved into the wall. The the alarms of the ship screamed red alert as both C3PO and R2D2 frantically entered the medbay. "Princess Leia! Several imperial ships have exited out of hyperspace including an SSD.
"What?" Leia cried out. "How, Alliance intelligence deliberately fed the empire with false leads, How could they have found us?"
Luke let out a grunt has a migraine came over him. It was then he heard a voice call out to him. A voice he had quickly come to dread.
"Luke."
"No, not you."
"Please son. Don't make me destroy you."
Ignoring Vader's plead Luke turned to Leia. "It's me."
"Huh?" Leia asked panicked and confused.
"Vader sensed my presence and tracked me here. "
"Through the force?" Leia asked.
Luke nodded. A feeling in helplessness swept over him. He was though he was on the mend he was in no condition to jump into an X-wing and fight.
Suddenly a holographic image of a Mon calimarian appeared. "Redemption to Home One Is anyone out there?!"
Leia scrambled to the hologram "Admiral this is Princess Leia. Admiral what's happening?"
"Several large imperial ships…heavy fire…heavy casualties."
"Find the nearest system and jump into hyperspace!"
"I'm afraid we can't. Interdictor-class Star Destroyer are preventing us to jumping into lightspeed."
"We can…." Leia quickly started to say. But the admiral stopped her.
"Your highness. As surviving Admiral I'm commencing emergency protocol THX-1138."
Tears started streaming down the princess's face as she let out a gasp. "Admiral you don't mean…"
"We all signed on knowing that it was suicide but we showed the galaxy that the empire is not invincible. As long as the galaxy knows that there is always hope."
"I won't leave the alliance to die!"
"Then live and tell our story. It's been an honor your highness. May the force be with you."
The hologram spurted out as a loud explosion could be heard. Luke and Leia looked in horror as tie bombers swarmed the Home one like Killer hornets as it separated into two halves.
"No!" Leia screamed banging on the windows. With a loud WOOSH the blast doors opened and a swarm of Rebel troopers poured in.
"Your highness. We have to evacuate the ship now."
"The alliance…." The princess spoke with a numb tone.
"The alliance is finished. Right now our concern is getting everyone off the ship."
"It's too late." Luke said.
One of the troopers looked to luke in Protest.
"Now's not the time to…."
With a loud bang the lights of the ship suddenly dispersed leaving the ship nearly pitch black with only the blinking alert alarm providing light and sound. That was until the sound of mechanical breathing could be heard. It was Vader.
Before the troops even had the chance to turn around, the Sith Lord Made short work of them. Leia covered her ears as she heard the terrifying screams of the troops. They didn't even have the chance to fight back. Soon the only people left were Luke, Leia, R2 and 3PO
Almost out of instinct, Leia attempted to grab one of the blasters in an attempt to kill Vader, but as the shots rang out, the dark lord seemingly blocked them with his glove.
"I have no quarrel with you your highness. I am only here for Skywaker."
"I won't let you near him."
"Your alliance is no more, you're a princess without a planet. Whether you live or die is inconsequential to me. But this meeting need not end in violence. I am willing to come to a bargain."
"What could you have that I would possibly want?"
"Boba Fett has taken Captain Solo to Jabba the hutt in exchange for the bounty on his head. Let me speak to Luke alone and I shall grant you transport and guarantee your safety so that you may go to him. You have my word."
Leia nearly raised her blaster in rejection but only to find that Luke was forcing the blaster down.
"Go Leia. I can handle Vader."
"Luke no. He'll kill you."
"No he won't. Besides even if he was I have a better chance of fighting him than you do. Besides. The droids and Han need you/
Leia wanted to protest but found herself unable to speak. Luke turned to Vader. "Tell your troops to stand down."
Without hesitation the dark lord opened up a comlink channel. "This is lord Vader. All Fighters and ships disperse and regroup at Coruscant. Tonight we have seen the end of the rebellion."
The three looked out the window to see all of the ships jump into hyperspace. Once the sector was clear Vader gave directions to his ship.
"My personal shuttle is in the main hanger. Now go. "
Leia looked to look who gave a nod of approval. Calling the droids over, the trio headed toward the hanger, not looking back.
Luke and Vader looked to each other for a few seconds before the dark lord began to speak. "Son, please I ask you again to join me. Only together can we destroy the emperor and bring peace to the galaxy."
"And what then? I don't want to rule the galaxy. You may care about power father but I don't."
Vader chuckled. "So you accept the truth?"
"I don't know what to think. Maybe you are my father, but maybe you're just saying all of this to manipulate me. But one thing is clear…I will never join you."
Vader turned his head as he heard the metallic grown. The sith lord let out a hiss staggering back as burning steam engulfed his vision. he turned around to see that Luke had disapeared. Vader went to chase after him, but by the time he made it to the hanger he could see an x-wing fly into hyperspace. Vader let out a sigh. Luke had escaped his grasp once more
