Definitely! Glad to have you along DarthVaderette!
Chapter Four
As Luke sat on the shuttle he could hear the Imperial Anthem playing proudly over the shouting crowd. They didn't know why the Emperor was appearing, but their loud screams of delight and the terrific amount of noise was a testimonial to their dedication.
He flinched back from the sounds. They were too loud. His brain was drugged on serum and agony. His eyes saw the dim lights in the cabin as brightly as sun flares. Raw pain ran along every nerve. Misiere smiled at him, Luke averting his gaze as he struggled to hold on to his pain.
He stood as the stormtroopers approached, drowning in pain and white armor.
* * * * *
Leia watched the scene in front of her with wide eyes. Palpatine was sitting on a black throne in Monument Square next to the Hall of Justice, a large court building that swallowed others due to it's terrific height and it's black non-reflective metal surface.
The crowd in front of the throne cheered loudly and waved mini Imperial flags. Nearest to the throne were the platforms where the Imperial Court sat, a crowd of bejeweled figures in bright, garish clothes. Next to the Emperor, where Vader would have been standing was a tall man. The camera zoomed in on him and Leia gasped. He was a pale figure with scars on his face and neck, dressed in sparkling armor the color of dried blood. The long black cloak fluttered lightly in the breeze as he moved to stand in front of Palpatine.
"Your Majesty, It gives me great honor to present to you one of the main figures in the Rebel Alliance. He is a man who has broken many of your laws, destroyed many families and is an Empire-wide known figure. Captured above Taspir III, Rebel Alliance commander and Jedi Luke Skywalker, destroyer of the Imperial Death Star!"
The camera panned away from Misiere to land on six stormtroopers in a diamond pattern. The front three stopped and split back to the shuttle, revealing Luke in the middle. The quick cameraman zoomed in on Luke's face as he stood there and Wedge dropped into a chair, face in his hands.
Luke's face was far too pale and sharper than usual. He held himself proudly despite the occasion, but his eyes betrayed the calm aura he broadcasted. The deep blue had faded and was clouded with a drugged haze and swirled with pain.
Abruptly one of the stormtroopers nudged him with the butt of his rifle and Luke flinched subtly before moving forward. The steps he took were too swift and at the same time halting, giving his forward motion a jerky appearance rather than his smooth, ground-eating stride.
Luke came to a halt and seemed to struggle to remain on his feet, determined not to give the appearance of a defeated Rebel. One of the stormtroopers raised his rifle and brought it down, hard, on the base of Luke's neck. He dropped forward, starting to raise his hands to the back of his neck as his eyes widened in pain.
"Welcome to the throne world of the Empire, Skywalker. Your stay here could be very pleasant you know," The Emperor smiled benignly at Luke and Leia was struck at the similarity between his expression and Mon Mothma's as she'd convinced the Council that Luke was no great loss.
"What? What does he mean?" Han asked Leia, who shrugged.
"All you would have to do," the Emperor continued softly, "is swear loyalty to me and renounce the Jedi and the Rebellion here and now. Your past wouldn't ever have to come up again."
Leia watched Luke's expression and suddenly she knew his answer.
"Even my own shame at my past isn't worth betraying what I stand for," Luke said, standing up suddenly, drawing all eyes. "I may lose my friends when you reveal Deadly Shadows, but I will never betray the Rebel Alliance."
Luke lost his escort as he darted up to stop directly next to Palpatine. He bent his head and whispered something in the Emperor's ear which caused the Emperor to snarl in rage and Misiere to lift his hand, picking up Luke and slamming him back into the platform wall.
Luke slumped to the floor, not moving for a few minutes. Slowly he lifted his head and gazed at the Emperor. Pure triumph crossed his features for a second before he was roughly set on his feet and hustled off the platform through the door of the Hall of Justice.
"Let it be witnessed that I offered Skywalker a full pardon and he refused it." Palpatine said calmly. "The position of defense councilor has been appointed to Councilor Rasmere."
The screen flicked from the Emperor back to the station with a tiny image of the Square frozen in one corner. The blonde laughed shortly and said, "Note, loyal members of the Empire that our beloved Emperor said appointed, not given. None of the loyal members of the Empire would willingly defend him."
Lord Vader flicked his hand and the screen turned off. Leia got the impression that he was scowling behind the mask. He remained glaring at the empty screen and abruptly his hand clenched into a fist and the black glove came slamming down onto a small statue. His hand remained there for a second before he irritably removed it and snapped, "You are all welcome in my home. Marlin shall show you to your rooms."
He spun around and walked out. A tall thin man with salt and pepper hair and dark eyes stepped forward. He wore a comlink on his ear and a uniform in black, crimson and dark sapphire. He smiled and said, "Follow me. The Lord shall be back soon. He is a busy man."

Hmm, looks like Vader could be out for revenge, if he's allowed Luke's gang to stay over. And then they shall rescue Luke and have a wonderful sleep over party in Darth Vader's parlor!
Good chapter, and I look forward to seeing how Vader will handle this mess.
Cazza out!

Very interesting. Mothma is so evil here...
I'm glad to see Leia put her friend's welfare above other concerns at the moment. Wedge, too! Of course Han would help Leia out. They are good friends. I hope they can all team up with Vader and Paelleon and get Luke out of this. Good to see Paelleon, too, he strikes me as a reasonable sort.
If you have PM notification, I'd love to know when this updates.

Oh my. I have a feeling Vader is about to unleash his true powers on somebody!
Palpatine perhaps? 
I loved how brave Luke was despite everything he'd been through.
As for spelling Misiere correctly - I can't take credit. I simply copied and pasted
Great update

Welcome, EGKenobi! Glad you like my crazy tale.
An update for you all.
Chapter Five
Unaware that his friends were even on the same planet as him, let alone staying in opulent rooms in his father's castle, was Luke. He sat alone in a dirty gray prisoner's uniform, gazing down at his stuncuffs. He looked away from them and swallowed. He rubbed his wrists together, anxiously ignoring the signs of raw skin.
An Imperial Medic had come in and pronounced him in perfect shape. Luke was still mentally laughing at the irony of it all. He was in enough agony to require a strong painkiller and the doctor had pronounced him normal. He gazed around his singularly dull cell with a smile that was more than halfway insane.
Luke knew his mind was going. He could feel it as he sat there, gazing around with eyes that saw illusions of dark shadows and ears that flinched away from the imaginary whisper of a dark cape. His mind was a kaleidoscope of fractured thoughts and he struggled to make any one coherent. Strangely enough he welcomed the insanity. It was a fit distraction for a Jedi about to die for Imperial Justice.
He looked up when the door hissed open and saw a dark shadow against the light of the corridor. Rasmere, his so-called defender, had finally shown up. The door shut and Luke got a look at the man, sighing at what he saw.
Rasmere was a thoroughly Imperial man. He was dressed in the casual dress uniform of an Imperial Lieutenant and stood at parade attention. His glare that he sent at Luke was full of hatred, rage and a deep need for revenge. Luke shivered and said quietly, "So you're the man Palpatine appointed to defend me."
Rasmere snarled lightly and snapped, "I don't care if you think you're a hero or some important man, to the Empire you're a murderer and a destroyer of laws. I do have the ugly duty of defending you, but I don't give a **** about you. I will not be taking confessions from you, nor shall I call any witnesses for you. I shall merely object when they question people too vehemently and when you are convicted, it shall simply seem like there was nothing to prove you innocent."
"According to this sheet here, Lord Vader has asked for visitation rights to his Castle here on Coruscant and the medic onboard the Justice IV has been giving you a dosage of painkiller. I have spoken to a member of the court and they have approved that all visitation rights be suspended and the dosage stopped. Enjoy your time until you are transferred to the Detention Center."
Luke opened his mouth to object and Rasmere left. Luke brought both his legs up onto his bench and lowered his head. As he sat there thinking of Yoda, Obi-Wan, Leia, Han, Wedge and even his Father his eyes lowered until he was looking at the floor with it's bloodstains. Luke then indulged in something he'd never done since he was a child.
The hero of the Rebellion cried himself to sleep, body jerked by irregular sobs.
* * * * * * * *
The next day Luke was hustled awake and jerked outside to an armoured speedercar. He was pushed inside roughly and as he sat up, he sourly noted Rasmere sitting across from him poised and elegant, with his hands in his lap.
"Why do you hate me Rasmere, besides the fact that you're an Imperial soldier?"
"My older brother was on the Death Star. He was a talented young commander who guarded the hangar bay. He was in a position of importance, he was from a family high up in Court, he had everything. Including a wife who was about to give him a son. She died of heartbreak after we received word that a 'Luke Skywalker' had escaped the Death Star after shooting him in the hangar bay. I should thank you, since you gave me my new importance as Father's heir, but I won't. We are mourning my brother and his wife and unborn son today and the Emperor had to go and give me the task of defending you."
Luke looked away after Rasmere finished his long-winded speech, unable to bear looking into brown eyes filled with hatred and a desire to kill.
Luke watched as the speeder turned down an alleyway, gazing at the street below them. He blinked and focused his eyes. Was that a light blinking just down the way? There were three of them, blinking in synchronized harmony. Luke realized abruptly what they were and said, "Rasmere, avoid this street."
"Why, so your pitiful friends can rescue you? I don't think so."
His last word was almost drowned out as the landspeeder hit the mines and exploded, flipping over and flinging Luke out onto the street. He hit the concrete with a hard smack! Luke woozily looked around, spotted the forms of the two guards, the pilot and Rasmere who were all dead and slipped into unconsciousness.

Ah, so somebody has seen fit to rescue Luke
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing
I'm not mourning the loss of Rasmere, though. He got what he deserved.
Great update

 Awwwww, Luke!!! 
I just found this story! I sure hope my Lukie will be okay. Maybe Han and Leia will come and rescue him soon?  And Rasmere got what he deserved!
Terrific job! Please add me to the pm list!
