Jedi Council Forums - Darth Dad (AU, Humor) (Complete!) (Small ROTS Spoiler at end)

Poof has a love-hate relationship with the Saga. On the one hand, it’s where he has his shinning moments as a Jedi Knight on the Jedi Council. On the other hand, he dies during the Saga era, and that wasn’t much fun at all.

	For the first time since receiving his commission Raldeg thought about jumping ship. First he was told to baby-sit a petulant five year old girl and he couldn’t give her a good hiding when she needed it or her father would have his head for his next meal. Then he was ticked off again for being incompetent by letting her get away from him, now he was being told to clear out his cabin to make room for the children when he’d sooner put them both, and their father, out the nearest airlock. Leia walked in the room wearing an officer’s shirt for a nightie that went all the way down to her knees, she trailed a blanket behind her and sucked her thumb. She grinned at Raldeg and he could feel his anger subsiding. “Can you tell me a story, Raldeg?” She asked, jumping up on the bed he had pushed in from another room. “Pleeeeeeeassssssssse? I’ll be very good, promise.” “A story?” Luke walked in garbed similarly to his sister. “Please? Tell us a story Raldeg.” He jumped on the other bed and wriggled underneath the covers. “Mom always tucks us in and tells us a story before we go to bed.” “All right,” Raldeg said and sat on the bed, not really knowing why he was agreeing as he was tired himself but it would be several hours before his shift would be over. “Yay!” Cried the twins and they snuggled down underneath the covers. Raldeg started telling them about his first battle; he outlined details, especially the space battles and how he had to make a split-second repair to his shuttle after it had crashed. After a while he could see the twins gradually get drowsy and he was surprised to find his own eyelids were drooping. Within a few minutes his head slumped onto his shoulder and he was sound asleep. Luke cautiously opened an eye and watched Raldeg for a few seconds, still not moving. Then he reached across to his sister’s bed and tapped her on the arm. “He’s asleep,” he told his sister. “Let’s find where that lady left out clothes,” Leia said standing on her bed. The crept out the door and leaned against the wall near the corner. They could hear people talking in the distance. “Lord Vader wants these incinerated,” they could hear a lady say. “He’s got new clothes for them for when they reach Coruscant.” “I’ve had it up to hear with them,” said a man. “I don’t minds kids, but not on here. It’s not the place for children, if Lord Vader keeps getting Raldeg to look after them the guy’s days are numbered.” “Come on,” Luke said and he pulled his sister across the corridor and down another passage. They arrived in the hangar where Luke could see TIE fighters on their racks and several shuttles being worked on by mechanics. He walked up to a large ship, like a TIE but bigger than all the others and it clearly had its own hyperdrive. Luke ran his hands over the body, obviously impressed. “Come on Luke,” his sister said, pulling his hand. “This is boring, let’s do something else.” “You’re boring,” he told her. “This is exciting, I want a ride.” “Hey little one, what are you going here?” Asked a pilot. Luke turned around and looked up at the TIE pilot; he held his black helmet in once hand. “Don’t call me little,” he retorted. “Sorry,” the pilot said. “It’s that Lord Vader doesn’t like anyone touching his ship. What’s your name?” “Luke Skywalker,” he answered. “This is my sister, Leia.” “Luke,” Leia pointed at the running figure of Raldeg and they took off down the hanger. “Hmm,” the pilot said as he watched the twins run off followed by Raldeg. “Are they his?” He asked Corporal Lyre who had just walked onto the bridge. “They’re Lord Vader’s,” she replied. “And they’re a handful.” “Kids are at that age,” the pilot said. “I've got three myself; my wife has grey hairs now.” Lyre and Raldeg dragged a crying and screaming Luke and Leia back to their room, outside the door was Lord Vader. “You need to be firmer, Raldeg,” the Sith Lord said. “This is your last warning.” Raldeg cursed in several languages as he put the twins back in bed and locked the door behind him. He then heard a timid knock, reluctantly he opened it. “Raldeg,” said Leia in a small voice. “I need to use the ‘fresher.” ------------------------------- Vader was extremely pleased with himself, Luke and Leia sat in the speeder behind him and didn’t squirm, fidget or ask to go to the ‘fresher. Leia was in a red embroidered gown and her hair in two braids while Luke wore a black tunic with matching trousers and boots. His hair was cut shorter, much to his protests but Vader didn’t want his son looking scruffy in front of the Emperor. Though Vader tried not to think of all the promises he’s made to get the twins docile. He tried not to look at Leia, she looked too much like Padmé and Vader tried not to think about Padmé at all. It wasn't good for him to anyway, opened up too many emotions that he’d rather suppress. “Get out,” he instructed the children when the speeder stopped outside the Emperor’s reception room. “Follow me, keep up, and don’t dawdle.” The red guards opened the door for them and one followed him up the stairs. At the top of the stairs on an over-sized throne before a large hexagonal window sat Emperor Palpatine. Vader bowed low to his master and instructed the twins to do the same. They obeyed but by their wide eyes and forced smiles they looked like they wanted to run away. “First we have important business,” Palpatine said, he made a slight gesture and a gaunt faced man in long purple robes appeared and bowed before Palpatine. "See that they stay out of trouble." The man bowed again and looked at the twins. Leia went pale and clung to her brother but luke stared unabashed at the man. He beckoned and they followe, luke pulling his sister behind him. "Now, we begin," Palpatine pressed a button on his throne and a holographic chessboard popped up. Vader summoned a chair on the other side of the room and sat down opposuite his master. -------------------------------- In the garb of a diplomat Obi-Wan walked through the Imperial palace, accompanied by Threepio he was ignored by those he passed, and the Jedi tried to ignore the protocol droids inane chatter. He knew Senator Organa was following him, he had insisted that Kenobi use his official transport and the Jedi had conceded to a point. But he went off on his own to search for the twins, not risking anyone least of all Padmé. He stopped and appeared to consult a datapad but he reached out with the Force to try and find the twins, this was risky but he knew there would be nothing about their arrival on any computer. Satisfied he walked up to the Emperor’s reception room, paused outside to clarify and walked quickly way. “Begging your pardon, sir,” Threepio asked as they stood outside the palace. “What do we do now?” “We wait, Threepio,” Obi-Wan answered, trying to look inconspicuous as he stretched out with his senses. “I’m not very patient, sir,” Threepio replied. “Try to be,” the Jedi answered closing his eyes. ----------------------------------- Vader was about to beat Palpatine again when something made him look up and towards the door. He tried the concentrate and isolate the sensation. Could it be him? Surely he must be dead. It was impossible. “Is there something troubling you, Lord Vader?” Palpatine asked as Vader got out of his seat and walked towards the door. “Surely you can wait until you’ve had you move?” “Obi-Wan Kenobi is here,” Vader said. “Padmé sent him to get the twins, I am sure of it.” “See that he doesn’t get in here,” Palpatine said distractedly. “Check to see how they are and get back quickly, I want to get another game in before we talk.” Vader left the room and was back in a few minutes pushing the purple-garbed acolylte like a shopping trolley. Palpatine was just about to get into some sort of interrogation but he needn't have. Vader cleched his fist around the mans throat and held him up as far as his arm would let. "What happened?" He thundered. "Where have they gone?" "They took me by surprise, my lord," the man choked out. "I had turned my back for a minute and they broke the window and escaped." "Why didn't you go after them?" Vader insisted. "I'm....terrfied of heights my lord," the man stammered,. his face turning purple, and Vader would have thrown him across the room if Palpatine “Put all sections on high alert,” Palpatine ordered Vader. “See that Obi-Wan never meets them.” “Yes, my master,” Vader said. -------------------------------------- Obi-Wan was walking very fast, something had happened and he had to get out quick. Then a group of security officers stopped him. “Let me see your identification,” one of them said. Obi-Wan fumbled in his robes and pondered using the Force to talk his way through, but there al least half a dozen and he wasn't sure if he could affect them all. But something saved him, two somethings in fact. Two small, running five-year-old somethings. “It’s them,” said one of the officers and Luke and Leia stopped suddenly as they raised their blaster pistols. “Don’t shoot us,” Luke said in a frightened voice. “We’re only kids,” Leia said, hiding behind her brother. “We just want to go home,” they chorused. “We’ve got orders,” said the security officer. “Sorry kids, you’re going to have to come with me.” They started to cry and the officer hesitated. This was all the time needed for Leia to kick the man in the shins and for Luke to knee him in the groin. Doubled over in pain, the other security officers congregated around their leader as the twins ran off. “Go after them you idiots!” The man said, holding back cries of pain. The security officers raced after Luke and Leia and drew their blasters. In a blur of motion Obi-Wan was between them and the children, he drew his lightsaber and deflected the blaster bolts with it. “WOW!” Chorused the twins and they stopped running to watch. “Run towards the entrance,” Obi-Wan told them. “Threepio is there.” He used the Force to throw the guards back then raced after them. “Are you a Jedi?” Luke asked Obi-Wan as they ran. “I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi, and I’m here to rescue you,” he answered. “You’re who?” the twins chorused. “Yes, I am a Jedi,” Kenobi said. “Wow, that’s so astral!” Luke said and he looked over his shoulder and winked at Obi-Wan. “I can explain everything later,” Obi-Wan said. “Right now I have to get you safe, your mother sent me to rescue you.” “Is she angry?” Leia asked. “Well…” the Jedi paused, Padmé had looked a lot of emotions since the twins had gone missing and angry wasn't one of them. “She was worried, especially after she heard about the bounty hunter.” Threepio was waiting for them with an airspeeder, but as Obi-Wan was helping Leia get inside a dark shadow emerged from the Imperial Palace. Obi-Wan looked up, then wished he didn't. "So..." Vader looked at Obi-Wan, at the speeder, Threepio and then back to Obi-Wan. "I am taking the children out of here," Obi-Wan said after seeing they were safe in the speeder. "I'm not going to let you have them." "Your wrong," Vader said. "Only one of us is going to walk away from here and it better not be me. Wait," he pasued for a moment. "That came out wrong. Enough talk." He ignited his lightsaber. Obi-Wan looked back, Luke and Leia were plastered against the window in awe. He sighed and got out his weapon. -----signature----- Jacen and the two Vergeres http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Katana_Geldar/Jacen_Solo%2C_Vergere_and_the_Force "They press some bum button and out comes the beams." - Excellence Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent.

	I'm almost done, except I'd like to give a spoiler warning as I don't see a way I can write it out without spoiling the final scene. It's right at the bottom of the post after Leia asks Obi-Wan if Darth Vader is their father, and it's not 100% necessary to read though it is quite touching. I'll give enough space to those who want to reply but YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. POSTED! After having so much with this genre I prbably will do another one at a later time. Maybe after EOE. I’m thinking of superweapons, the Solo kids getting kidnapped, Luke on another wild goose chase across the galaxy... ...and a bald Lando!:O -----signature----- Jacen and the two Vergeres http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Katana_Geldar/Jacen_Solo%2C_Vergere_and_the_Force "They press some bum button and out comes the beams." - Excellence Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent.

	Obi-Wan stood still, eyeing the dark lord, his lightsaber in a classic defensive position. Vader cricled menacingly, making several times as if to strike but feinting that the last moment. This continued for several minutes. Then at once both of them raised their weapons to strike, the blades colliding and crckling with the intesity of the pressure. Through the Force Obi-Wan could feel Vader's hatred. It was overpowering, so much so that the Jedi raised the defences on his mind. As he did this he stepped back, turning in a circle and holding his lightsaber to the blade protruded in front of him. "That's not going to work," he said shortly. Vader slashed savagely. Strong, fast stokes that had Obi-Wan on the defensive, side stepping the powerful blows until he was almost on the edge of the ledge. Vader lunged again and Obi-Wan almost lost his balance. To his surprise Vader pulled him back. "Not that way," Vader said. Obi-Wan didn't answer, he turned his head and looked back at the speeder. Luke and Leia were against the back window, they smiled and waved reassuringly and the Jedi felt a lump falling into his throat. He couldn't fail them, that much he knew, but he was completely defensles as Vader was right up against him blocking any move he could make. "Now..." Vader started to raise his weapon, and to do that he had to step back. But Obi-Wan smiled. He brought his knee up with the speed of a military class hyperdrive into Darth Vader's black armour. To his surprise Vader staggered back, doubling over in pain. Perhaps he is not all machine, Obi-Wan mused as he jumoed into the speeder. As much as he hated flying he pushed the vehicle up to its maximum speed once he made sure Luke and Leia were strapped securely. "WOW" Luke said, his eyes were shining with swe and admiration. "Can you show me how to do that?" "Umm, okay," Obi-Wan had a million things on his mind at once, negotiating Coruscant traffic, holding down his breakfast and checking the mirrors for a possible pursuit. "Don't do what I did though, it's dirty and unfair." "What's unfair?" Leia asked. "Don't worry, I'll explain later," the Jedi reassured and there was silence. “I'm tired,” Luke announced and he closed his eyes and slumped in his seat. “I'm tired too,” Leia said and she leaned against her brother. Obi-Wan smiled as he took the ‘speeder through Coruscant, perhaps there were, as Padmé had said, things in life that he had yet to experience. ------------------------------- "So Obi-Wan managed to best you?" Palpatine asked. "Yes, my Masterm" Vader replied glumly. "May I ask how, Lord Vader?" Palpatine asked "I'd rather not say, my Master," Vader replied. Palpatine paused, and if the Sith Lord felt any fear from his master’s hesitation he didn’t show it in his actions. He waited until finally Palpatine clasped his hands and looked at Vader. “You said you wouldn’t be long,” Palpatine said reproachfully. “It’s still your move.” ------------------------------ “Mr Jedi,” Leia said timidly to Obi-Wan once they were safely in hyperspace. “Darth Vader said he was our father, is that true?” This subject was the last one that Obi-Wan wanted to talk about, but when he looked at Luke and Leia’s collective pleading stares he gave in. “Yes,” Obi-Wan replied and he watched their expressions sadden. “Listen, what happened to your father was my fault. Your mother told you your father was a Jedi, didn’t she?” “Yes,” they chorused. “That’s true, from a certain point of view,” he told them. “Just before you were born something happened to your father, he...went bad, I can’t really explain it. But he loved your mother, and he was looking forward to when you would be born, though Leia was a bit of a surprise.” “I was a surprise?” Leia asked. “Nobody really knew until you would be born that there would be two of you,” Obi-Wan said, he was smiling now. “Your father was a great friend of mine, you remind me of him Luke.” ”What about me?” Leia demanded. “Take a good look at your mother,” Obi-Wan said. “And speaking of her you two have a lot of explaining to do when you get back home.” FINIS! -----signature----- Jacen and the two Vergeres http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Katana_Geldar/Jacen_Solo%2C_Vergere_and_the_Force "They press some bum button and out comes the beams." - Excellence Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent.
