"Palpatine knows." Amidala felt for her daughter; her dear Leia. She wanted to hold her, protect her from the conniving mind and will that was Palpatine. She was still her precious little girl, though now a grown woman. Without thinking about it, the spectre had reached towards Leia. This seemed to heighten her ex-husband's aggression.
"Stay away from my daughter." warned the rumbling voice of the battle-scarred Sith. "If you really cared about her, you would have come to me, and not hid from me to save yourself. You lost your life because you clung to it; she gave me her life and has gained it." Vader concluded, sounding like an evil version of a grammatically correct Yoda.
"Ani, please..." Padme pleaded, but her husband ignited his saber in response. "How your essence was prevented from becoming one with the Force, I know not, but this time, I will ensure it. You could not save your daughter, and you shall not save yourself."

Bad Vader, BAD!
That was nice, Empress, but evil of you to write a short post AND make it a cliffhanger. I don't know how you manage it, but it's annoying!
Of course... that means you're going to have to write the next post real soon, you know?

The door opened at that moment, distracting Vader. Padme became invisible, though still present, unbeknownst to her former husband and her fallen daughter.
Sate Pestage, cheif advisor to Emperor Palpatine entered the room. His thin hand reached into his cloak to bring out a digital reader, pulling up the Emperor's message.
"His Imperial Majesty commands that the sometime rebel princess, Leia Organa, be brought before him immediately and witho---" Vader, still in a foul mood, began choking the man; Sate grabbed at his throat, trying to remove the invisible fingers. "You dare not kill me, Vader...I have the ear of the Emperor and his authority in this; or have you already forgotten what happened to you the last time he disciplined you?" An opened mouth corpse could produce a warmer grin than Palpatine's lackey. Disgusted by the man, Vader threw him to the ground.
"She will go with you," he growled reluctantly, "and I will speak with the emperor about this, I assure you. You will not live much longer, old man, if I have anything to say about it."
Sate's yellow eyes blinked, and he backed away. "You challenge the wrong person, Vader. The wrong person indeed." he replied as six stormtroopers entered, handcuffing Leia. "Follow me to the Emperor." he ordered. Leia complied, though whispering to her Father through the force "I will not dishonor our name through this, Father; you will have reason to be proud of me."
Even the stone heart of Vader was touched by his daughter's loyal statement. "I know, my child," he replied with a note of sadness as he watched her being lead away to his Master. "I know."

Now this is what I'm talking about -- longer and meatier, just like a true post should.
Cliffhanger resolved, hope Vader is able to rethink his relationship with his late wife -- you can't just kill and keep killing everything and everyone you've known before, right? -- but at the moment I'm converned for the "meeting"...I have a bad feeling about it.

Luke Skywalker continued on patrol, his tauntaun grumbling at the rapidly dropping temperature. "Steady girl, we'll be back before you know it." he began, when something black--like a meteor--fell from the sky.
"Echo 3 to Echo 7. Han, ol' buddy, do you read me?"
"Loud and clear, kid." came the Corellian's reply.
"I've finished my circle, and I don't pick up any life readings; there's just a meteor I want to check out that hit the ground near here."
"Sure it's a meteor?" Han pressed uncharacteristically.
"Sure I'm sure; it's too small to be a transport." *A transport for anything human, anyway.*
"Stay there, kid; there's been reports of probe droids being sent after us; I'd feel better if both of us took a look." Luke, annoyed, brushed off Han's concern.
"Don't worry about it, Han; just go back to base and take your repo--" a laser blast struck his comlink, burning his hand. He screamed and the comlink dropped to the ground. His tauntaun reared, panicked, and threw Luke; the Jedi padawan fumbled about for his lightsaber, extinguishing it, only to gawk at the stranger's face.
"The Emperor's Hand has found you, boy." she purred with the same warmth of a hunting Kashyykian tigress.
"And now, The Emperor's Hand will send you into the Force where you belong."

Sheesh... Mara needs some teraphy... Talking about herself in the third person isn't very healty. 
At least I'm assuming that's a certain EU-based red-haired weird woman. Could be some other random Hand (*avoids really bad joke*), who knows?
I loved the dialog, so very similar to ESB but with just that diference enough to make it fit perfectly with the story. Good work Empress. Of course, I also have to thank you for posting three times today -- making up for lost time are you?
I'm sure not complaining.

Palpatine was satisfied. Mara Jade would soon eliminate Luke Skywalker; Lord Vader's son. He had known it ever since he had heard the boy's name. What were the odds of a young man, born around the time of the conversion of Anakin and the death of Amidala, would have greater force abilities than any Jedi before him and exceptional piloting skills?
He was Vader's son. That much was certain. And, on the slight chance he was wrong, then, that would mean there would be one fewer threat to his illustrious reign. A reign that would last for millenia; for he intended to live forever, Lord Vader at his side...and when Lord Vader became too weak to serve, then another would take his place. He had considered telling Mara Jade to kidnap the boy and bring him here, but then he would have to keep Vader away from his son, and his apprentice would grow suspicious. No, it was better this way; as long as Vader never learned he had a son, his apprentice would not get ideas of rebellion.
Sate Pestage entered the throne room. "My Master, I have brought the rebel leader, Princess Leia." he announced, bowing at the waist.
"Good." Palpatine smiled. "How did Lord Vader react? Was it as I anticipated?"
Sate grumbled. "Yes, my lord; he was angry, as you expected; he tried to choke me with the Force and I besee--" he stopped. "I suspect Vader of disloyalty, my lord."
"Because he attacked you?" Palpatine laughed. "Sate, you old fool, in this matter, you know nothing." Palpatine believed him, but wanted to ripen the jealousy and bitterness growing in Sate's heart. In his Father's heart.

Mara Jade reached for her own lightsaber. "A pity you're such a beginner; this might have been fun if you had any real ability." she taunted him, but he forced himself to be calm, to not give in to his anger.
Mara began with a few offensive cuts, trying to increase his battle lust, which in novices often meant increasing their anger. Luke countered with a few sound parries, and one shaky one; she was beginning to get beyond his skill already.
"How tragic for you that your Master didn't live long enough to train you better." Using a special move, she knocked his lightsaber out of his hand, cutting it in four pieces with her own.
Originally, she was supposed to arrest Skywalker, take him back to Coruscant and the emperor. Now, she had only to kill him and bring his head back as proof of the dead. The Emperor wanted there to be no mistakes.
Mara felt something small, yet powerful leap on her back. Before she could do anything, she felt a strong manipulation of the Force as she fell into unconsciousness. The alien leapt off.
"Disappointed in you, I am."

Oh, very well. A little bit more.
Yoda used The Force, and the unconscious Jade was lifted up into the air. Luke watched in wonderment. "Come, boy, come." Yoda called. Luke shook himself out of his wonderment.
"I'm not coming with anyone I don't know."
"Came with Obi-Wan, you did. Know him, you did not; but came you because you must. Imperative it is. Come you shall."
"Imperative?" Luke scoffed. "What are you talking about?"
"Know of what I speak, you do, though stubborn, like your Father, you are." Yoda sighed. "Easier to reason with a 10 year old, it was...."
"You knew my Father?"
"Your Father I know." Yoda said, after giving Luke a long look.
"I don't believe it--whoever you are..."
"Yoda am I."
"--Yoda, why should I believe Vader is my Father? Can you tell me that?" Pain flooded Luke's eyes.
"No, no!" Yoda replied, whacking the youth with his gimer stick. "No more will I tell you today; much anger in you, like your Father."
The stick smarted, but the emotionally distraught youth was able to take the pain. Something was drawing him to the strange green alien, and he felt he had much to learn from him. Yet, the anger in him was festering, and he saw Yoda's eyes regard him in disappointment.
"You are not ready."
Mara Jade began to stir.

Oh, Yoda's being interesting as always, though his grammar hasn't improved a tiny little speck.
"Easier to reason with a 10 year old it was"?? I think that maybe too much time spent on Dagobah has begun to cloud Yoda's sense somewhat. Silly green fella!
thanks for the posts today, they were great! I'm hoping to read more by tomorrow, perhaps?

Yoda quickly used the force to convince Mara to be quiet and still, though he doubted that this would keep her so for long. The Emperor would soon sense what was being done to his Hand and attempt to undo what Yoda had done.
“Wait here, young one, prepare for return journey, I must.” Yoda sighed. There was too much anger in Skywalker’s son. The risk was too great to attempt to train the headstrong youth so late in life. He laid Mara down in the snow, and returned to his ship.
“That boy is our last hope.” Obi-wan pointed out. “The other has fallen. You know this to be true.”
“Quiet, you must be, Obi-wan. Regret telling you of Qui-Gon’s discovery, I do.” Yoda retorted. “Dangerous it is to train this boy. Tainted by darkness his soul is.”
“It will surely be tainted by darkness if his Father comes for him and trains him. He is the last of the Jedi.”
“No! No Jedi!” Yoda replied, offended. “A padawan he is. No more. No less.”
“To be a padawan, he must have a teacher.” Obi-wan pointed out. Yoda sighed. “Think about it I…” he sensed a disturbance in the Force and ran toward Luke.

Meanwhile
***
Han rode up on his tauntaun not long after Yoda had departed. Luke looked emotionally distraught, and appeared to have some bruises as well. His tauntaun was surprisingly nearby after throwing Luke. He was relieved that Luke was all right, but angry for reasons he did not fully wish to explore.
"What happened to you?" Han bellowed at Luke. He then saw the unconscious red head lying on the ground. "Who's the girl?"
"An assassin sent by the---No, wait!" Without knowing why, Luke stepped between Han and his blaster. The blaster discharged, shooting Luke three inches above his heart. Paling, Han cursed himself and the kid. Luke fell to the ground, clutching his chest in pain. Yet, in his anger, he threw Han back 10 feet.
*Maybe it's not a hokey religion after all* Han mused, fearing Luke for the first time in his life.
Pulling himself to his feet, Luke used the force to pick up Mara’s lightsaber and pointed its blade menacingly to Han. “What I say goes, Solo.” He warned darkly.
“Kid, take it easy, I didn’t mean to discharge the blaster; you stepped in the line of fire right as the shot went off….I’ve never seen anyone move that quickly.” Han explained. The anger in Luke’s eyes hadn’t receded. “C’mon, kid. Just set the lightsaber down and….” Luke swung the blade at Han, keeping the older man down on the ground.
“Enough, this is!” called Yoda in a disapproving voice. He used the force to wrench the lightsaber out of Luke’s hands.
“Come at once you must, young one, your actions today have put you in peril.” Still angry, but curious at Yoda’s meaning, Luke considered padding after Yoda. The aged Jedi then addressed Han. “Order the base to evacuate, you must. Vader will soon find this place.”
“I’m not one of the rebels!” Han retorted. “Their cause is for those with a death wish.”
“How do you know Vader is coming?” Luke asked at the same time.
“Boarded his Star Destroyer now, he has.” Yoda replied knowingly. “Seeks you, he does.”
Han swore. “He probably wants to kill you for destroying the Death Star.”
Luke shook his head. “That’s not why he obsesses over me, Han.” He gave his older friend a warning look before Han could press the matter further.
“Your doom you seal, if you stay here, young one.” Yoda warned ominously.

Luke, don't be such a prat! Sheesh, why the sudden doom and gloom you silly farm boy? Han was only doing what he thought best and, for the record, I totally agree with him. Get rid of the red-haired weirdo, ASAP. The sooner the best. Go Han!
So Yoda is re-thinking his choice to let Obi-Wan learn from Qui-Gon, is he? Tsk, tsk. Seems like he hasn't changed as much from the prequel trilogy Yoda as he should have by now... Still so arrogant! *hits yoda with his own gimmer stick* Learn some more patiente you must, mister! Then again with the way the Skywalkers are behaving... He's right to be like that. I have a bad feeling about this...
Very nice post, EoJ. Thanks!
