This is a story that takes place after the events of both KotOR 1 and 2, so I guess it is my own little version of KotOR 3. There are spoilers for both games, and the story probably won't make sense if you haven't beaten both of them.

This is my first story that has chapters! Yay! As always, reviews are highly appreciated and constructive criticism would be well-welcomed. No flames please!

Disclaimer: I do not own Star War: Knights of the Old Republic I or II, or Star Wars. This is merely a story that takes place in that universe.

Revan sighed as she leaned back against the wall of her cell. Her back ached from being propped up against the rock-hard wall for so long, but she didn't care. The pain in her back was nothing compared to the other things that the sith had put her through. The sith knew far too well how to inflict pain. They had demonstrated that to Revan many times, and from the screams that she had heard coming from down the hallway on occasion made it sound like they had shown Vatani, too. The sith had been torturing them both since the beginning of their captivity. In doing so they also tried to convert them to their side. After all, a former sith lord and a jedi exile could be valuable assets to them. Revan was as stubborn as ever, though, and she didn't budge a bit.

The jedi fingered the black box at the nape of her neck. The sith had put the force inhibitor on her right after she was captured. She hated that thing. If anything was going to drive her crazy in this dungeon, it was going to be that box and what it robbed from her. When they first arrived, she had hoped that the torture the sith would put her through would have been enough, but obviously they had other ideas. She was very lonely with no companion, four dark, black walls around her, and no Force to have at her beck and call to comfort her. Regardless, she promised herself that she would stay strong to the light and that the sith would not be able to convert her.

Revan heard the rush of air come down the hallway and she glared through the bars of her cell as one of the sith flew by. They were hideous creatures, and they reeked of the dark side. They were not like the sith from the known regions at all. They were not human in any way, and were very alien. Their bodies were a transparent gray and you could see straight through them. They had no organs, at least not that she could see through their skin. They moved like shadows. They didn't have legs, but they hovered around and were able to fly. They had no face on their head. They didn't have any eyes, ears, nose or mouth, but they used the Force to see, hear, smell, and talk. Instead of arms they had four shadowy tentacles that protruded from their sides. For a weak mind, one look at one of them would drive away all hope that one might possess and replace it with despair. They were also shape shifters, and they were able to transform into anything they wished as long as they were able to use the force to find the image in their victim's mind.

Revan hated the sith. They were disgusting, ruthless animals. She was helpless and defenseless against them, and she couldn't do anything about it. Despite her situation, though, she did her best to make sure that she stayed calm and drove any thoughts of revenge away from her mind. She also kept the jedi code very close to her, and it often helped her stay on track.

Suddenly, the lights in her cell and out in the hallway flickered out. She was surrounded by complete and total darkness, and she couldn't see a thing. It wasn't long after the lights went out that they went back on, though.

A few minutes later, sirens went off and red lights blinked in the hallway outside of her cell. Even though the high-pitched sound increased the pain of her headache, the sirens were music to Revan's ears. The true sith flew down the hallway in pursuit of their escaping prey. Distressed grunts echoed through the hallway as they spoke to each other in their own alien language. Revan smiled as she guessed what was happening. The Exile must have had her chance to escape. About fifteen or so minutes later, the sirens stopped and the red lights finally stopped blinking. The sith came back down the halls grunting angry shouts at each other, but Vatani was nowhere to be found. Revan's smile grew wider as she realized the Exile was successful. This had truly made her day.

Good luck, Vatani.

Three days later...

Carth Onasi sighed as he took a sip of his water. He was at the cantina on Dantooine waiting to meet up with the jedi Exile, Vatani Moonlight. He tapped his foot impatiently on the floor under the table. She was supposed to have arrived there half an hour ago, and Carth was very anxious to hear the news that she was meeting with him to tell him. After all, it had been two years since she had left to find Revan, and there were rumors that Revan had come back with the Exile. But then again, that rumor had sprung up before, and for all he knew Revan was still out in the Unknown Regions fighting the "true sith". He ran his fingers through his now graying hair. He so hoped that Vatani had news of Revan.

Carth looked across the at the other side of the cantina. Bastila Shan, who had accompanied Carth on his trip, was seated at a booth there talking to three other jedi from the enclave. The jedi looked very familiar, and after a couple moments of staring he recognized them to have been Vatani's former shipmates. After Malachor V and the disappearance of the Exile, they had come to Dantooine and helped to rebuild the jedi enclave there and train more jedi. They were pretty sucessful, too. The jedi enclave had almost fully recovered from the destruction that the sith caused six years ago. They also had quite a few students now. If Revan was here, she would be very happy to see the state that the enclave was in now.

It wasn't long until the door at the entrance of the cantina swung open. In stepped a petite women with shoulder-length blond hair that was tied into a ponytail at the nape of her neck. She was wearing navy blue jedi robes and had a silver lightsaber hanging from her belt. Her blue eyes scanned the cantina and flashed with recognition when she looked over at Carth. She gracefully strode over to his table and seated herself across from him.

"You're late," Carth spoke, unable to hide the frustration in his voice.

The Exile looked up at him and nodded apologetically. "Yes, and I'm sorry. I was..." her voice trailed off as she seemed to be trying to find a proper word to use, "delayed."

As the waiter came by their table he refilled Carth's water. Carth thanked him as he took Vatani's order, who also ordered water.

"So, did you ever find Revan?" Carth asked.

Vatani nodded. "Yes I did, Carth. I found her about six months after I left for the Unknown Regions."

"Is she with you?" Carth's hopes rose but then fell as he heard the Exile's answer.

"I wish she was. I am afraid that we have been separated."

Carth took a deep breath before he asked his next question. "What happened, Vatani?" He held his breath as he waited for her to speak. This seemed to be a hard subject for the jedi in front of him to talk about. Regardless, he needed to know what had happened to Revan. He remained silent and gave the Exile time to gather herself. She sighed, and then opened her mouth to speak.

"Two weeks ago, we found the coordinates of a spacecraft that belonged to the true sith," Vatani started. "Revan and I had the impression that it was a small one, maybe just a small republic freighter that they had stolen and were occupying. That had been the trend with the sith ships that we had found, so we didn't do more research on it to find out what kind of ship the ship was, or how big it was." Vatani shook her head grimly. "Unfortunately, we were wrong. It was not a stolen republic freighter, and instead it turned out to be a a interdictor ship that the sith had probably stolen from the leftover ships that were produced from the Star Forge." She thanked the waiter as he gave her the water she ordered. She took a sip and then started again.

"The Ebon Hawk was no match for an interdictor ship. Of course we fought back as we were attacked, but our defeat was inevitable. After they crippled the Ebon Hawk so that it could no longer fly, they took us into their tractor beam and we were captured. They took Revan and I to separate cells and held us there. We didn't see each other at all except at the rare occasions that the sith would torture us together. I had tried to contact Revan several times through the Force, but she never answered. For a while I was afraid that they had killed her, but later that day screams echoed down the hall that proved me wrong. I'm not completely sure what would prevant her from answering me, but I concluded that they may have somehow severed her connection with the Force. I just hope that whatever they did to her is temporary."

Carth nodded in agreement before Vatani continued.

"Three days ago there was a strange power surge that caused the power to black out. The only thing that enclosed me in my cell was a force field that served as a door. The door had stopped working when the power went out, so I took the opportunity and escaped. A few minutes later the power started working again, but I was already well on my way out." Vatani hesitated again before she went on. For a moment, Carth thought that he saw tears in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away so that he couldn't tell for sure. "Carth, I can't tell you how long I searched for where the sith kept Revan, but by the time I was close to her cell, the alarms went off and they found that I had escaped. I had no choice but to run for the hanger and find the Ebon Hawk.

"The sith weren't able to stop me from escaping. I got to the hanger and was able to use the Force to open the airlock and leave the interdictor ship with the Ebon Hawk. It seemed that the sith had repaired my ship while we were being held captive for some reason, and I was able to get away before the sith were able to react. After that I contacted you, Bastila and my former crew members, and landed here at Dantooine."

The two sat at the table in silence for a few awkward moments. Carth sympathized for the Exile, he truly did, but he was having trouble blocking out the little voices in the back of his mind that kept whispering lies. She left Revan there on purpose, they said. Finally, he regained control and the voices muted.

"I'm so sorry."

Carth fought with himself as he looked into her eyes."There wasn't anything else you could do, Vatani."

Liar. He shook the voice out of his head. There was truly nothing else that she could have done.

Vatani nodded, but she seemed to have doubted that statement also.

"But anyway, I need your help, Carth. I'd hate myself if we left Revan alone with the sith. She is very strong and stubborn, but I don't know how long she could hold to the light side if they continue to keep her alive and torture her." Carth shuddered inside at the thought. "Besides," she started again, "I need a good pilot. I was thinking about letting Atton be our pilot, but he drives a bit too recklessly for his own good sometimes."

Carth smiled and nodded. "I'd be glad to."

Vatani returned the smile. "Very good! I also contacted and asked Bastila, Juhani, Mira, and Atton and asked if they wished to joined us, and they also said that they would be more than happy to. I also have a few other contacts that I haven't been able to get in touch with yet."

"Do you have any sort of plan for Revan's rescue?"

"Nothing really other than going back to the coordinates where the sith interdictor ship was before. The Ebon Hawk also needs a bit of repair before it is truly air worthy again, so we're going to be grounded for a couple of days. That should give us a little more time to think of something more to add to our plan."

Carth didn't like the fact that they couldn't leave right away. The longer that they took leaving the longer Revan would be tortured. He also didn't like the fact that they didn't have much of a plan. What would they do when they found the interdictor ship? All they would have against the sith were a few jedi that they could easily add to their captives. On top of all of it, just like Vatani, he wouldn't be able to leave Revan with the sith. If they turned her to the dark side the republic would have an even bigger problem then the one they had now. He also loved her, and hated that she would be in incredible pain. He concluded that rescuing Revan was truly the only choice they had.

Carth nodded to Vatani, thanked her for coming and speaking to him, and finished his water before returning to the enclave.

And so the adventure begins. I'm a busy girl, so I don't know when I'll be able to update. I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
