"How's the gas mining? Is it paying off for you?" Han made small talk with his friend.

"Oh, not as well as I'd like. We're a small outpost and not very self-sufficient. And I've had supply problems of every kind. I've had labor difficulties..." Lando rambles about his issues then looks at his friend who stayed grinning, "What's so funny?"

"You. Listen to you - you sound like a businessman, a responsible leader. Who'd have thought that, huh?" Han elbowed his friend in a fun manner.

"You know, seeing you again brings back a few things." Lando smiles, Anakin sensed guilt in him but marked it off as maybe an old gambling bet between the two.

"Yeah." Han replied.

"Yeah, I'm responsible now. It's the price you have to pay to be successful!" Lando explained.

The pack kept following Lando through his slick city. It wasn't long before Anakin turned to his droid was gone. He walked back a few paces to check for C3PO but couldn't see him anywhere. Anakin realized he would get lost if he didn't continue and he would need to ask about it as soon as they reached their destination.

Anakin was getting the most horrible feeling here. Maybe it was the hostility and strange liking to commit crimes or even the gas from the mining. Anakin felt a horrible amount of dark Force.

"Luke, you must complete your training." Yoda kept trying to make the young man stay. Yoda knew that Luke's potential could be exponentially larger than any other Jedi before. But he hasn't reached that potential. He is not ready to face his Mother.

"I can't get the vision out of my head. They're my friends, my father. I've got to help them." Luke explained as he packed up his ship and was now in his fighter outfit once more.

"You must not go!" Yoda protested.

"But they will die if I don't!" Luke argued, planting himself on the floor.

"You don't know that." Obi-Wan's voice rang. Then suddenly his figure appeared before him, "Even Yoda cannot see their fate."

"But I can help them! I feel the Force!" Luke begged.

"But you cannot control it. This is a dangerous time for you, when you will be tempted by the dark side of the Force." Obi-Wan reminded Luke.

"Yes, yes. To Obi-Wan you listen. The cave. Remember your failure at the cave.." Yoda reminded Luke of the amount of Dark Side force he experienced.

"But I've learned so much since then. Master Yoda, I promise to return and finish what I've begun. You have my word." Luke promised but a promise would never be enough. Luke rushed to fix his X-Wing for lift off.

"It is you and your abilities the Emperor wants. That is why your friends are made to suffer." Obi-Wan told Luke.

"Why would he want me, my abilities? Isn't my father the 'Chosen One.' He has much more skill and ability than I do." Luke asked, confused.

"The Emperor has already attempted to sway your Father. But his training was cemented in the light. He was more interested in your Majka, who he could begin manipulating into darkness at a young age. He wants to turn you to destroy your father." Obi-Wan told.

"That is why I have to go." Luke said, continuing his efforts.

"Luke, I don't want to lose you to the Emperor the same way we lost Majka." Obi-Wan begged.

"You won't." Luke said. That he knew for sure.

"Stopped they must be. On this all depends. Only a fully trained Jedi Knight with the Force as his ally will conquer Majka and her Emperor. If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path, as Majka did, you will become an agent of evil." Yoda foretold. Luke ignored it, he needed to help his friends. That came first in his mind, he took after his mother in this sense. The people around him needed to live so much more than he did.

"Patience." Obi-Wan urged Luke to stop and talk, to think.

"And sacrifice Han, Leia, Chewie, and my Father?" Luke said each of their names individually. He needed them to see that they were people and needed help.

"If you honor what they fight for, yes!" Yoda said.

"As you said, your Father is a skilled warrior, amazingly , arguably the best the old Jedi Order trained. He can handle Majka." Obi-Wan brought up. Luke said nothing, he didn't know how to respond. The insides of him burning, he needed to go.

"If you decide to face Majka, you will do it alone. I cannot interfere." Obi-Wan reminded Luke.

"I understand." Luke hops into his X-Wing, "R2 fire up the engines."

"Luke, don't give into hate!" Obi-Wan said, his hate for Majka bubbling, "It leads to the dark side!" Luke's only response is a nod.

"Strong is Majka. Mind what you have learned. Save you it can." Yoda advised, giving up on keeping Luke here.

"I will. And I will return, I promise." Luke told Yoda, closing his cockpit.

"Told you, I did. Reckless is he. Now matters are worse." Yoda told Obi-Wan.

"The Force has a plan. It calls for him to leave. He may be able to bring Anakin to himself. For the first time in a long time, that boy has given us hope." Obi-Wan shared as Luke lifted into the sky and off to the city in the clouds.
