Soon Vader is out of energy and almost falls in to the pit himself. Luke, Lita and Catherine grab him just before he falls and they all lay there there exhausted. He looks at them and gasping for breath asks "Am I forgiven now? For all I have done?" Luke, Lita and Catherine nod as they collapse by his side.

Meanwhile, on Endor Han and Leia are able to take down the deflector shield just in time so that the fleet will be able to blow up the Death Star. As sirens start sounding around them Luke, and Lita are struggling to carry their father who is weakening fast towards a imperial shuttle. Luke is still weak from his encounter with the Emperor and is barely able to support Vader.

"Luke, help me take this mask off." Vader says a Luke pauses to catch his breath.

Catherine and Lita shake their heads no. "Luke don't if you take his mask off he'll die." Catherine begs Luke. Luke pauses seeming hesitant.

"Nothing can stop that now. Please, let me look at you just once with my own eyes." signifying that Darth Vader is dead and he is Anakin Skywalker once more.

Luke nods and removes the helmet much to Catherine and Lita's dismay . "No, Luke what have you done?" Catherine groaned. Vader looks up at his children and sighs as he placed his hands on Lita and Catherine's cheeks.

"Your both as beautiful and as brave as your mother. I want you both to know that though I couldn't be the Father that you deserve I am grateful for the limited time we had together. Now, at last, I can die in peace for now, my life is blessed."

"Father, You will live, it's too soon, too soon to say goodbye. We've only just found each other. I can't let you die. There's has got to be a way to stop this from happening. Please, tell me what I have to do, I don't want to say goodbye." Catherine says tears forming in her eyes.

Vader smiles and quotes a line from his and Padme's favorite musical Les Miserables, "Yes Catherine, forbid me now to die, I'll obey, I will try."

Turning to Lita he smiles. "Remember to tell this story. About a man who turned from hating. A man who only learned to love while you were in his keeping." Lita nods as tears continue falling from her eyes.

Though he has said he will try to regain his strength and go with them she knows he was only saying that for her and Catherine's benefit. She knows that she's about to say goodbye forever.

Vader turns to Luke and whispers, "Luke, go. Take your sisters and go." He motioned to the shuttle that was only a few feet away.

"No, I won't leave you, your coming with us! I can't leave you here to die, I've got to save you!" Luke replies.

"Luke, you already have. Now go!" Vader insists. "Tell your sister you were right about me."

"Father we won't leave you." Luke insisted again but it was too late, Vader had already drawn his last breath.

Lita realizing that he has died moans. "no. Father, no. Please don't go. Please, come back. I need you. We need you."

"Lita, Catherine we have to go. It's only a matter of time before this whole hanger bay explodes."

"No, leave me here. Leave me." Catherine replies throwing herself across Vader's chest and sobbing.

"Lita...."

"Just go Luke!" Lita replies.

"Absolutely not. I'm not going to leave you here. Father would never forgive me if something were to happen to you. Please, help me get our father's body onto the shuttle and let's get out of here." Luke begged. Swallowing hard both Lita and Catherine nod and helps Luke drag Vader's lifeless body onto shuttle. Once the shuttle has taken off Catherine just stares off into space. Her face void of all emotions. Lita goes to see if Luke needs any assistance.

Meanwhile, down on Endor the rebel alliance and Ewoks celebrated the destruction of the Death Star.

Han looked up at the sky in concern and then turned to console Leia. "I'm sure Catherine, Lita and Luke weren't on that thing when it exploded." Trying to sound as convincing as he could.

"They weren't. I know they weren't. I can feel it." Leia replied. Han looks at Leia confused and concerned.

"You love him don't you?" Han asked.

Leia smiled "yes, I do." She replies. Slightly puzzled by Han's question.

"Fine, I understand when he comes back I won't get in the way." Han replies feeling rejected.

Leia looks at Han puzzled for a moment before she realizes what he is saying. Smiling she replied "It's not like that at all." To which Han looks at her puzzled. Leia sighs and smiles as she and continues, "he's my brother."

Then she proceeds to give Han a kiss on the lips. Han looks at her puzzled once more not sure what to make of this revelation and yet, somehow relived at the same time. Smiling he kisses her back.

Soon Leia and Han and the crew are joined by Catherine, Lita and Luke. They hold a funeral service for Vader and then the celebration continues. Catherine just stares into the fire her eyes filled with questions and frozen tears. She knew that death had stolen precious years.

As she stares at the fire her gaze grows cold her intense grief turning to pure hatred. "I promise You father, I will make him pay for taking you away from me." She whispers. Not in a festive mood she walks away from the party. Luke follows her concerned.

"Catherine are you ok?"

"I'm fine." Catherine replies her gaze dull and her voice void of emotions.

"Your not fine, your hurting. It's ok to admit that your hurting. It's ok to cry." Luke replied placing a hand on Catherine's shoulder.

Catherine shrugs his hand off angrily. "Go away Luke! Go back to your grand celebration! Go on, go back to celebrating your marvelous victory over the dark side of the Force! And leave me alone!"

"Catherine you shouldn't be alone at a time like this."

"Don't you get it? I don't want to be near you! I don't want to be near any of you!" I growled shoving Luke causing him to stumble backwards.

"Catherine, I know your hurting but pushing us away isn't going to take away the pain. You need to admit your feelings. You need to admit that your angry with our father for dying and leaving you. Don't bottle up your anger inside."

"It's not good for you and it's not healthy. Remember what Master Yoda always said, anger turns to hate, hate turns to aggression, and aggression leads to the dark side." Luke replied.

"I am not angry with our father. He didn't leave me, You took him from me! Both Yoda and Ben warned you about how powerful the Emperor was but you just had to go and face him. You just had to open your mouth and brag about how we would never join him. That we were Jedi just like our father. It was your fault that he was electrocuted.

We could have saved him Lita and I. We could have found a way to fix his suit but no, you just had to take off his helmet! You knew removing it would kill him but you did it anyway. Even after We begged you not too. I hate you, I hate all of you!"

"I hate everything to do with the Jedi. I hate Ben and Yoda but most importantly I hate you! You took from me the only thing that I have ever wanted and I'll never forgive you for that."

"Catherine I..."

"Don't! Don't you dare say you understand!!' You, Lita and Leia had loving families growing up. I had no one! I grew up a Slave fighting for the right to be loved. All I ever wanted was for some one to love me and raise me as their daughter."

"When I finally found my father he was snatched away from me! So don't you dare say you understand how I am feeling right now because you don't! You have never lost everything."

Luke POV

"Actually I have. My Aunt and Uncle were murdered by the Empire. I had no one."

"You were never alone Luke. You've always had someone by your side. You had Ben & Yoda & Han & Chewie & Leia and all of your friends. I never had any of that."

"You can have that now." I reply.

"What makes you think I want that? I want my father! Thanks to you I'll never see him again!" With that, Catherine Stormed off towards the shuttle leaving Me dumbfounded.

What had just happened? I couldn't possibly have meant what I had just said. I had been speaking out of grief, I didn't really blame him for their father's death did I? Did I truly hate him? Had he lost me to the darkness forever? Spotting Ben, His father and Yoda's spirits he asked them "what am I to do?"

"She has chosen her path. She has been consumed by the dark side of the force. You know what needs to be done. The dark side must never be allowed to rise again." Ben replied.

"Ben your wrong. Luke mustn't give up on her. Catherine needs time to grieve. She needs his love now more then ever." The spirit of Skywalker replied.

"Agree with Skywalker I do. Give up on Catherine you must not. Help her grieve you must." Yoda replied.

Glancing back towards where Catherine had stormed off I headed back to the celebration. Lita sat on one of the logs not interacting with anyone. "Hay Lita, how are you holding up?"
