Warning: Spanking In this chapter.
Chapter three: Not as innocent as he looks.
One week later:
Anakin was seriously about to lose it. Where in the world was Luke? He was not going to go home without his son. Padme would kill him. She might just kill him anyways. How do you lose your kid? His son had taken off like a bat out of hell the second his back was turned. He had only been gone for a minute! Where could Luke have run too?
He was perfectly fine looking for his son until security came to find him.
"Mr. Anakin we need your help! An apprentice has taken off in your fighter plane and won't respond to orders to land it. We're not sure how to get him to land the plane." The guard said.
Anakin stood stupefied for a moment. Oh you have got to be kidding me! He thought in disbelief. Surely the kid wasn't that foolish. Right? Never mind that was a stupid question. Luke was his kid after all.
Wait Luke had run off to steal his plane? There was only one response to that. Why?
Anakin followed security to the control room where they usually communicated with air crafts.
One of the men was trying to get the 'apprentice' to respond. Luke was not cooperating.
He watched the screen and from what he could tell Luke was just on a joy ride. But again WHY?
What had made him have this sudden urge to steal a plane? His own fathers plane!
Anakin leaned hard on the comm link "Luke Skywalker this is your father speaking you come back here right now and land that plane. That's an order." Anakin spoke firmly into the comm link.
Luke was in the plane trying to talk to Leia and that was why he hadn't answered any of the guards.
But when his father spoke he knew he was in trouble and 'hung up' on Leia. Sorry Leia I gotta go.
He pressed the comm link "Pops wait I can explain!" Luke said.
"I highly doubt that!" Anakin responded.
"But it wasn't my idea! She dared me to do it! She said I didn't have enough guts and then called me all kinds of stupid for actually doing it!" Luke argued.
"Who is she Luke?" Anakin asked.
"Uh. I'll tell you later. I gotta say this plane is awesome though! It's really fast." Luke said still running on pure adrenaline.
Leia had said he wasn't stupid enough to fly a plane on his own and he had taken that as a challenge and had run off to find his fathers ship and had just taken it. Leia had been yelling at him calling him every kind of stupid in the book ever since. Luke hadn't even known that he could talk to her through time. It was really weird. Who knew twin telepathy was that powerful.
"Luke you are under orders to get your butt back here and land that plane!" Anakin reminded his child.
"So I heard." Luke said as he turned the plane around realizing he'd be in worse trouble if he dilly dallied around.
"I'm coming see?" Luke commented not realizing just how upset his father was.
"You'd better be coming!" Anakin said as he watched his son approach with his plane.
He still couldn't believe his son had stolen his plane. Okay he COULD believe it. He just couldn't bring himself to admit it cause it was just so...shocking. He had never stolen anything in his life. He may have caused more then his fair share of trouble but he had never done anything illegal. Well not in this time anyways. So it was a surprise to him that his son would steal a plane and go joy riding because someone dared him too. There was definitely something that Luke was hiding from all of them. Anakin had no doubt that SHE was somehow important to Luke and that SHE was something that Luke didn't want anyone to know about not even Vader.
Anakin looked at the guards "I'll handle this." he said as he went out and watched his son stuggling while he tried to land the ship. Really? He could steal a ship and fly it but he could land it?
Anakin used the force and landed the plane himself because he sensed his sons nerve's going crazy with worry.
Luke shut off the plane and looked at his father not wanting to get out. His father croocked a finger at him. "Come here." Anakin said.
Luke shook his head no. If his father really thought he was just going to walk willingly to his doom then he had another thing coming.
"Luke come here now!" Anakin raised his voice in warning.
Luke bit his lip thinking about that. Then he heard his sister in his head "I told you so! Only YOU would turn my compliment into a challenge! Mr I have to brag about the time when I stold dad's air craft! I was just saying it would be stupid if you did do that. I wasn't calling you a liar I just said I didn't think you were that stupid. That doesn't mean you had to go prove that you could do it again!" Leia scolded from inside his head. "Shut up Leia! I'll poke you later! And I think I just proved that I'm plenty stupid!" Luke said with pride. "Uh DUH!" Leia said in a 'you an idiot' tone.
Luke looked back towards his father scared because now his father was coming towards him.
"Okay Okay I'm coming." Luke whined out loud unbuckling his seat belt.
The door was opened as Anakin grabbed his arm saying "Too late junior." and hauled him out of the plane he used the force to close the door.
And then headed towards his privet room at the temple. He was NOT doing this at home.
The door locked and Luke looked around. It was a medium sized room.
There was desk and a chair and it was probably where his father went when he needed to do work in a quiet place.
Anakin sat in the chair behind the desk. "Come here Luke."
Luke did NOT want to come here. But he knew it wasn't a request. He wished it was though. But he knew that no wasn't an option.
He went over to his father and was surprised when his father just jerked him across his lap and a second later began to spank him.
"No. don't spank me!" Luke whined.
"Yes your getting a spanking! You know very well that what you did was wrong. You scared the hell out of me little boy! First you disappear and I can't find you. Then you steal MY plane! You had no business being anywhere near my plane! Let alone actually taking off in it. You couldn't even land the plane. So you definitely had no business flying it!" Anakin said landing spanks all over the boys bottom.
"I'm sorry!" Luke whined as his bottom was stinging.
"Not as sorry as your gonna be!" Anakin said as he pulled Luke's pants down and then his underwear too.
"No not bare! Please daddy. I'm sorry." Luke cried now knowing it was really going to hurt bare.
Anakin began the spanking again.
The sharp stinging smacks burning into Luke's bottom brought tears to his eyes and the redder his bottom became the more his tears fell and the louder his cries got.
After about 30 smacks on his bare bottom Anakin stopped the spanking sensing that the boy had learned his lesson.
He put the crying boy on his feet and replaced his clothing.
He felt bad that he'd had to spank his son and it hurt to hear the crying.
So he was glad when he was able to pull his son into his arms for a hug.
He held him until Luke's crying was almost stopped.
He then wiped his sons eyes to get rid of more of the tears.
"Your forgiven. Just don't do that again. You don't leave on your own unless you tell me where your going first. And I don't care what your sister or anyone else says to you. You don't have to prove anything to anyone." Anakin said having gotten past Luke's shield when the boy was crying and so he now knew about his sons twin sister.
"I know I just...Wait. How did you know! I didn't say anything!" Luke said upset again because his father now knew about his sister. Did that mean that Vader would know now too? He wondered.
"When you were being spanked your shield's dropped and I heard her. She knew I was spanking you and she felt horrible. I understand why you would want to hide her. But we would have figured it out as soon as your mother went into labor. Why doesn't my other self know that you have a sister? Why would you hide it from him?" Anakin asked.
"Cause you'd take her too. You took me from your half brother and his wife when you discovered me. If you had known about her you would have gotten made that they separated us and you would have taken her too. She likes her home. That's why I hide her from you in my time. I was always able to hear her in my head. She taught me how to shield the other you so that he couldn't always hear my thoughts." Luke said.
Anakin understood that.
"Are you going to tell mom about what I did? What would she have done?" Luke asked more then curious.
"You mean if she had caught you doing this? Well for one she wouldn't have been able to help you land safely. So you might have gotten hurt. As for what she would have done...I'm not sure. But I imagine she would have spanked you right there in public. She wouldn't have given you a full spanking like I did. But she probably would have given you a decent spanking. At least 10 smacks would be my guess. But it would be more because of her worry then because of punishment. Just a reaction kind of thing. I personally didn't want everyone to talk about me spanking you so I did it in private. You can be thankful it was me that caught you. Even though you got a worse spanking. At least you didn't get it in public." Anakin said with a grin.
Luke did not see the humor. He wasn't really sure which would have been worse. Then again if he was spanked in public everyone could possibly see or know about it. No one would know about his spanking from his father so perhaps he could see the good part of his father punishing him in private.
His mother seemed like a gentle woman but then again he didn't really know her.
So he had to take his father's word for it on what his father thought his mother would do.
"So are you going to tell her?" Luke asked again.
"Probably. But she won't do anything. Specially after I tell her how I punished you. She'll probably yell at me for being so hard on you." Anakin said.
"It wasn't the worst I've ever had." Luke said honest.
"What do you mean?" Anakin asked.
"The other you. After my tenth birthday I did something REALLY stupid. I kind of tried to free one of your prisoners and then I got in your way when you tried to kill him with force lightning. You barely stopped yourself before it got to me. You really blistered my butt that time. You were really mad cause I could have been hurt. I couldn't sit for a week. I never did that again." Luke said.
Anakin had no problem understanding what his other self had done.
Luke had put himself in very real danger of a sith Lord who was his father.
That was really stupid.
Apparently Luke had no problem putting himself in danger or getting into trouble.
Anakin was going to have his hands full no doubt.
That night:
Anakin sat up in bed after his dream. He was panting and fear coursed through is body like blood.
In Luke's room:
"Luke. Luke wake up. Luke get up." Luke opened his sleepy eyes as he head his father Vader in his head.
"Huh? What?" Luke asked.
"Luke get up. You need to go to...Anakin and tell him about the dream he just had." Vader said not sure what to call his other self though he figured Anakin was appropriate.
"He had the dream?" Luke asked rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Yes. Padme...Is going to talk to him but you need to go in there too." Vader said having a hard time saying the name of his dead wife.
"Okay. I'm going." Luke said removing the covers to head across the hall. His parents had made him live with them and had put him right across from them.
"It was only a dream." Padme was saying to a seated Anakin.
"I won't let this one become real." Anakin said and then the door slid open and a sleepy Luke came in.
"Baby what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" Padme asked in a motherly tone.
Luke never knew his mother could be such a mother hen.
"No. dad had one." Luke said.
Anakin looked confused "Wait you woke up because you sensed me having a bad dream?" Anakin asked.
"No. Vader woke me up to tell me you were having the dream. He told me about the dream the day he said he would help me save you. The dream is a big part of why you turned to the dark side. What was the dream about?" Luke asked curious.
"It was about your mother. She died in child birth which you already told us the day you first came here so I know it came true it one time line. I just thought that was why I turned evil. You mean I turned to the dark Side before Padme died?" Anakin asked.
"You turned before mom even went into labor. You turned because you had the dream. And the chancellor manipulated you by telling you that he could give you the power to save her but that you would have to turn to the dark side to get it. Darth Sidius in my time doesn't know that I'm your son. You shield me with your power when he's on the ship so he doesn't know that you know that he lied. He told you that you that Obi Wan killed mom while she was pregnant because she wouldn't give away your location. But the truth is when you left and promised to return she went into labor and that's when Obi Wan came. He helped her deliver us and then something went wrong. I don't know why. But she died there. Obi Wan then gave me to your half brother and gave Leia to a Senator. Dad told me not to tell you about the dream until after you had it. So he woke me up just now so that I could tell you it's a trick to turn you to the dark side. The dream was a warning that if you don't change the path your on then you will turn to the dark side and mom will die. I think her dying had something to do with you not being there for the birth. She wanted you there and she was so sad that you weren't there." Luke said trying to explain everything the right way.
Both Anakin and Padme thought about what he was saying and what it meant and how they could stop this. But just knowing gave them half the advantage.
"But me knowing that the Chancellor is the sith lord would have stopped me from listening to him. I haven't even spoken to him since the day you came and told us who he was. The council has been trying to find a way to defeat him in a quiet and clean way. They are debating on weather an arrest would be possible or if it would be best just to kill him. It's not the Jedi way but he is a sith lord after all." Anakin said now that he knew the dream wasn't a vision he was thinking a little more clearly.
"Why couldn't this wait until morning? Your father shouldn't have woken you up from sleep. You need your sleep. Ani why did you wake him up!" Padme said in disapproval.
"I didn't wake him up! Vader woke him up. I'm not him! Not yet. And I won't be! But good luck trying to figure out a way to yell at him." Anakin said with humor.
"Oh believe me I will find a way. For someone who has been a single father all this time he should know better then to wake a child from sleep. This could have waited. Or he could have let Luke tell us before you had the dream then you would have woken up and known what it was. Waking Luke up from sleep isn't nice or fatherly." Padme scolded.
Anakin shook his head at her. "Believe me if I had my way our son wouldn't have to do anything to save me. Unfortunately he is the one from the future and there's no other way for us to get the information." Anakin said still feeling annoyed that his son had to take on this responsibility.
His son should worry about schooling or drama or friends. He should not have to worry about saving the future and his own father.
"I don't mind." Luke said.
"Well I do." Padme and Anakin said almost at the same time and then shared a smile.
Luke blushed and laughed at the irony. Him and Leia said things at the same time too.
Suddenly Luke felt pain. So much pain. His father!
What was happening!
Anakin and Padme both rushed to Luke as he suddenly went pale and collapsed on the floor.
"No!" Luke shouted as he heard Leia scream inside his head.
Vader was on Alderaan and was attacking the palace.
"NO! Stop it!" Luke shouted out loud.
Anakin shook his son "Luke talk to us what's happening? Is it Vader?"
"You don't give the orders around here Youngling mind your own affairs. I'm only destroying the palace and the Senator's family. It will please the Emperor for a time." Vader said as he took his Saber and killed many of the guards along with the Senator himself.
The Senator's wife was running with her child.
"No No no no no no no no no no please! No! Lord Vader please! I'll never forgive you!" Luke shouted out loud as he shoved at Anakin. But Anakin wouldn't let him go.
"Don't call me that! And stop being so dramatic. It's only a handful of people. Besides it will provide you the extra time you need." Vader said.
Luke began to get angry.
"No!" Luke shouted and kicked at Anakin's leg.
"Hey! Stop that." Anakin scolded.
Luke was shocked because apparently Vader had just felt what he had done to Anakin.
Maybe it's because he and Anakin were the same being just in different times.
What happened to one happened to the other.
Luke got an idea. He kicked his father again.
"Hey I said stop that." Anakin scolded.
"Don't do that." Vader said in a deadly voice.
Luke struggled in his father's hold.
"I won't let you do this!" Luke shouted as then attacked Anakin with his fists hitting him in the chest and the stomach though the blows didn't seem to be doing much besides for annoy his father.
Padme grabbed one of his arms "Luke stop! Talk to us." she begged gently.
"Strike your mother and you will regret it." Vader said in his head.
"I'm not gonna hit mom! You attack innocent woman and children. That's you. That's not me." Luke said and then sensed that Vader was now ignoring him and had found the Senator's wife and Leia.
"Father No! Please don't kill her!" Luke said now going into a blind panic.
Anakin shook Luke so hard his teeth almost rattled.
"You better start talking right now! What the hell is going on." Anakin demanded.
"He's gonna kill Leia!" Luke said not able to hold in his tears anymore.
"Who's Leia?" Anakin asked.
"My sister!" Luke shouted without thinking.
"Excuse me? Your WHAT?" Vader's voice asked from inside his head. The tone angry and dark.
Oh no. Vader had heard him.
Now Anakin understood why his son was freaking out. Vader was going to kill his twin sister.
"So that's what's you've been hiding from me? You have a twin sister. And she's right in front of me. You've been keeping her from me. If anyone else had done what you've done...I'd kill them on the spot. But you...The fact that you are my son is the only reason you can still breath right now." Vader said his anger talking.
Yeah yeah yeah. Luke thought.
"As for the lovely Senator's widow your time is up." He said and then Luke sensed that Vader made Leia pass out some how and then he knew why. Vader didn't want his daughter to see him murder the woman she called mother.
"NO! How could you do that! She was Leia's mother." Luke said inside his head feeling sorry for his sister now.
"Padme is the mother of MY children!" Vader said angrily as he deactivated his saber and lifted his daughter up.
"Padme is dead!" Luke shouted out loud angry. He sensed that Vader had halted his steps when he said that.
"You had better remember who your talking to Luke Skywalker. I am your father. You do not take that tone with me." Vader said inside his head.
Padme and Anakin had had more then enough of this.
"Luke stop talking to him!" Padme raised her voice to get his attention.
Luke looked at her "Huh?" he said confused.
"I said I don't want you talking to him anymore. He's upsetting you and I won't have that!" Padme said sternly not aware that Vader could hear everything that Luke heard too.
"Your kidding right? I can't just stop talking to him he's my father." Luke said.
"He is NOT Anakin Skywalker! And you are not to talk to him anymore!" Padme said looking Luke in the eye to make him understand that she was serious.
Luke heard his father laughing in his head. How could his father possibly find this funny?
"Padme." Anakin said gently as he grabbed her hand with his free one to get her attention.
She looked at him "That's not something he can stop. Vader IS me. Weather Luke responds or not Vader can still talk telepathically to him." Anakin said trying to reason with her.
"I don't care Ani! Vader is upsetting him and I am not going to stand here and watch the father of my child torment him!" Padme said angry as she pulled her hand out of Anakin's and put her arms around her waist. She too was upset.
"Okay how the hell am I tormenting him?" Vader's voice which sounded a lot like Anakin's filled the room.
Padme gasped.
"Okay how the hell are you doing that?" Luke asked a little impressed.
"Hey! Watch your mouth." Vader said instinctively.
Then added "How am I doing what? How am I talking to you?" Vader asked confused.
"No I think he means how come we can all hear you now." Anakin said to Vader and wow this was confusing.
Vader apparently understood now.
"Oh. That. I guess I forgot about that. I wasn't trying to talk to all of you. I guess I just tried too hard to talk to Luke this time. That's how it happened the last time. I was trying too hard." Vader said suddenly Padme smiled and looked at Anakin "I TOLD you I'd find a way to yell at you!" Padme said.
"Oh no." Vader groaned then tried to calm Padme down "Now angel calm down." he said.
"Don't you 'now angel' me and don't tell me to calm down Anakin Skywalker!" Padme shouted at him.
Anakin sat down on the bed and put his head in his hand trying not to laugh this was going to be hilarious. Padme was yelling at his future EVIL self.
"I am NOT Anakin Skywalker anymore. That name no longer has any meaning for me." Vader said.
"Really? Then why did you steal my children if the name Anakin Skywalker has no meaning to you?" Padme taunted.
"I may not be Anakin Skywalker anymore but those are still my children. You died Padme. And they gave our children to complete strangers and hide them from me." Vader said.
"yeah I died and apparently Anakin Skywalker decided to die right along with me! Do you really think I would have wanted you to become this? You are NOT the type of father I want my children to be raised by! Even if I do die in child birth I'll be okay as long as I know they are being raised by a good person. And if their father is too messed up to do it then I have no problem with Obi Wan handing them over to good people who will raise them right. Raise them the way I want them to be raised." Padme said.
"Padme you don't understand. You don't want to understand. Did you ever stop to think that I only did this to save you? But it was a wasted effort. You were destined to die I guess. Maybe I was meant to raise our children without you. But I hope that Luke saving him will also give you the strength you need to survive the labor." Vader said.
"Weather it does or not that doesn't matter to me. All I want is healthy children and a good father to raise them. If I get that then I will die happy! Did YOU ever stop to think of that?" Padme asked back.
"I had forgotten how stubborn you could be. No wonder our son is so difficult. He has your stubbornness and mine in him." Vader said with a sigh.
"Thank you. And you better stop upsetting our son or I swear I will find a way to come to the future and hurt you!" Padme threatened.
To her dismay Vader laughed " I would love to see that. You are more then welcome to try. You know very well that I would let you and I would probably like it." Vader said with amusement.
Padme rolled her eyes. Well he had a point.
"Seriously? Get a room." Luke said annoyed.
"If only I could. I would do almost anything to be in the same room with your mother again. But I lost her a long time ago. Perhaps I'll get another chance to see her again. Someday." Vader said sadly.
Padme felt bad for him now. She knew how in love Anakin was with her. She loved him just as much.
"Maybe you will. Don't give up hope Ani. Please. Let us help you. We can do this. I know we can. This has to work. Why else would the force be giving us this chance?" Padme asked.
"Your right My Angel. Perhaps we will succeed in saving...Me. And if I get to have you at my side again...Well then it will be more then worth it." Vader said then added "I must go. I sense Darth Sidius. I must hide Leia from him." Vader said and then they felt his presence leave.
"He's gone." Luke informed them and then yawned.
"Yes thank you I am aware of that. Now you go back to bed and the next time your father wakes you up tell him that I said to leave you alone." Padme said.
"Yes mother." Luke said automatically in a robot tone.
She came over and kissed him goodnight a for the second time "Now you stay in bed until morning." Padme said.
"Goodnight Luke." Anakin said with a smile and Luke nodded at him "Goodnight" he said back.
To be continued...
Next time: The Chancellor is destroyed Padme goes into Labor and the Future is changed in BIG ways.
