He will be broken — his mind stripped of knowledge and his body frozen forever

The corpses and prisoners were dragged away. Restraining bolts were placed on the droid and they were led to the programming center.

Vader led his daughter to the carbonite-freezing facility, where Kenobi was being prepared. The Jedi’s legless body was suspended on chains above the freezing pit.

“You not only took my legs, old man, you tried to steal my family,” Vader accused the dismembered old man. “But all your scheming has come to nothing. My daughter, who you sought to hide from me is now my loyal servant and fucktoy.”

Kenobie shook his head weakly. “How can you treat your own daughter this way? You knew how to love once. You loved Padme. There must still be some part of Anakin left in you, some good.”

“You are a fool, old man. Anakin Skywalker is dead. You and Padme killed him with your betrayal,” Vader insisted. He pressed his hands down on Leia’s shoulders, shoving his naked daughter to her knees in front of Kenobi.

“Didn’t your precious Jedi teach against attachments? This cunt is a useful tool, but I would sacrifice her to advance my plans,” Vader made a **** gesture, and Leai clutched at her throat, gasping. At the same time, he pressed his will against Kenobi’s, battering at his mental defenses to make him give in and surrender his knowledge. “Master Yoda was never found. Tell me where he is! What did you mean about returning more powerful if I killed you? Explain that Jedi trick!”

Kenobi gritted his teeth. “You can’t break me, Vader,” he grunted.

Vader could sense that the psychic walls protecting his old mentor’s mind were strong. He would not be able to bring them down alone. He reached out and gripped a fistful of Leia’s hair while she sputtered and drooled in the **** ****. “Reach out with your mind, daughter. Feel Kenobi’s resistance to me. Stab at it with your will.”

Although Kenobi had once saved her life, and Vader had just said he was willing to sacrifice her and was in fact slowly suffocating her, Leia could not deny her Father, her Lord. She opened her senses and could feel the battle between Vader and Kenobi. She was untrained, but as a Skywalker, she was powerful. She concentrated on spearing a lance of her own will through the wall that was keeping her Father out of the old man’s mind.

Kenobi cried out wordlessly.

“Where is Yoda!” Vader demanded.

“Dagobah,” Kenobi choked out between clenched teeth.

“How do the Jedi return from ****?”

Kenobi passed out from his injuries and the effort of fighting the mental ****.

Leia was barely conscious now, but she kept attacking Kenobi’s psychic shields. She felt them break apart and dissolve to nothing. As her Father’s will ransacked Kenobi’s memories, Leia fell **** from the lack of oxygen.

When she came to, she saw the block of black carbonite with Kenobi’s form imprisoned in it. Vader stood over her. “On your feet. You did well. I have all of Kenobi’s secrets. I have the missing piece my Master has been searching for to defeat **** itself. Once we crush the rebel fleet and dispatch the last Jedi master, I can make us both immortal. You will be able to serve me forever, daughter.”

Leia struggled to her feet, gasping. Her throat still burned from the **** ****. She smiled though, at the thought of being allowed to worship and serve Lord Vader for eternity.

She followed him on her leash to the detention block where the last passenger of the freighter was being held — the young man she had felt a connection to. As the Sith approached, the officers at the consoles came to attention and saluted. The stepped clear as he move to the keyboard and bent over it, pulling up the information on the prisoner. “An interesting development. Not only did Kenobi bring the stolen plans directly to me, he brought something that could be even more powerful than the **** Star. Look,” he ordered Leia.

The naked apprentice looked at the screen. She saw the genetic scan of the prisoner, who was named Luke Skywalker. Next to it was her own. They were a 50% match. Not only had Kenobi and Organa kept her from her true father, but they had also hidden her twin brother from her. “He is my brother, my Lord,” she said quietly.

“Precisely. Now, sense his presence in the ****, feel his potential. Open your mind to the possible futures.”

Leia took a deep breath and concentrated. She was learning from her Father how to direct the **** to her will, she unleashed her desire to understand, bent the **** to give her the information she craved. She saw that this Luke was indeed powerful in the ****, though even less well-trained than she was because the Jedi approach was so slow. Then she looked into the futures. They were hazy and shifting. She could sense that her brother could be a powerful tool for her Father, or he could destroy Vader and everything he had accomplished. She looked up at Vader’s mask, “He is powerful and could make you more powerful, Father. He is also dangerous if allowed to oppose you,” she said.

Vader nodded. He had seen the same thing. He had a decision to make about his son.
