Okie dokie, well this the redone version of chapter 1 and 2. I merged them together to make one chapter. So... yeah... Eventually the other chapters will be edited, but this one's first :D
Enjoy and please review :D
The New Student:
Darth Revan was walking through the sith academy on Korriban. Dressed in her trademark black robes with the breastplate and cape, she was quite a intimidating figure. Wandering through the hallways, a smirk started to emerge on her face, though one wouldn't be able to see it because of the heavy mask that covered her entire face. Darth Revan loved walking through the academy because all the weak Sith students trembled at merely sensing her and even the strong ones shrunk out of sight when she approached. Their fear was well placed, as they all knew of what The Dark Lady of the Sith was capable of.
Revan stopped in the middle of the crowd, smirking as she saw all the students tremble. :Bastila, come here now: she commanded through their Force Bond.
Quickly Bastila made her way towards her master with a young sith student in tow. The young girl cowered away from the Dark Lady, she was obviously terrified. But Revan ignored this and turned to face Bastila. "Is this our little trainee?" she asked, her voice muffled by the heavy mask.
Bastila jerked her head in a nod. "Yes Master. Her name is Catherine and--"
"I don't care what her name is. Is she worthy enough to be trained by us?"
"Of course she is, Master. She is able and has a strong affinity with the Force. I would never choose someone who wasn't!" stammered Bastila.
Revan nodded slightly. "Good, now let's get off this pathetic planet!"
So, Bastila quickly walked to the docking bay, half dragging the unfortunate girl. Then, she strode onto the large ship that was docked there. Revan glared at everyone within glareshot, they wouldn't be able to see her glare but she could see them shrink away from her. She was satisfied with the fear they all had. Then turned on her heel and strode off. Everyone sighed in relief when the ship slowly rose from the ground and took off.
"That was your daughter, wasn't it Susan?" said someone as soon as the ship was gone.
A blonde-haired woman nearby nodded as tears rolled down her cheeks. She would have said something, but she was terrified of the Sith Lord. She wanted to rescue her daughter, but she knew she would receive a painful death if she had spoken against Revan. "Please be safe," she whispered, lowering her head as the tears kept coming, "please be safe my darling."
oOo
Revan removed her mask in relief. As much as she loved the fear it brought, she didn't like the mask much; it was too hot and heavy to wear it. Revan turned to face the young, trembling girl. Her dark eyes met the little girl's bright eyes.
"What's your name?" demanded Revan.
"C-C-Catherine," stammered the girl, her wide eyes watering.
Revan frowned and glared at Catherine as her eyes darted all over the girl's body. "You are strong in the force," she said bluntly, "how old are you?"
"E-Eight"
Revan nodded slightly and turned around to face her apprentice. "Teach her the basic forms of lightsaber combat. Make sure she learns the proper ways of being a Sith...and make sure she is strong."
Revan then strode out of the room, leaving Bastila with Catherine. She walked to the bridge of her ship. Before she reached it, the Dark Lady stopped and looked around in desperation. Emotion flooding her face.
'I love serving the Dark Side, she thought, but it's just not the same without Carth! If I ever find him I will make sure he comes over to the Dark...'
Revan let out an evil cackle then frowned. Her yellowish eyes darted around the hallway she was in. She had a reputation to keep and laughing out loud wasn't part of it. When she was satisfied that no one was around, she shook her head before marching onto the bridge and walking up to the viewing glass, watching as they approached the capital ship of the Sith Fleet.
'I can't wait till we get off this hunk of junk.' She thought with a sense of relief, 'I can get away from all these pathetic idiots and concentrate on more important things.'
Revan closed her eyes and sighed. The wrong emotions were approaching again. She glared out of the glass and quickly left the bridge. She didn't want anyone to sense her feelings, so, she strolled to the one place she knew would be safe, her room.
As soon as she walked into the dreary room, she sat near the wall and took a meditative position, only to be interrupted by Bastila, asking to come in.
"What is it?" demanded Revan as her apprentice came into the room and bowed.
"She is quite strong already Master," said Bastila, "It seems she has already had some combat training. I have taught her Forms I to III. She is perfect for our.... I mean your plans, Master!"
Revan smirked darkly. "Well done Bastila!" she praised, "Once we get to my flagship we shall tell her my plans!"
Bastila had a few criticisms running through her head, but she only voiced one, being careful as to how she said it. "But won't she refuse and try to escape?" asked Bastila nervously.
"She will do it; as you know I can be very persuasive. I can convince someone to willingly throw their life away for my cause, as was seen in the Mandalorian Wars."
Bastila caught the double meaning of her Master's last sentence. "Is that why you wanted someone young?"
"Yes. We shall tell her the plan but not all of it. The best lies aren't lies at all. Meaning can change if you with hold a single piece of information."
Bastila nodded in understanding and then turned away to leave the room.
Revan suddenly said, "Don't forget to make sure the child doesn't cause any trouble, Bastila."
"Of course not Master!" replied Bastila.
"And send for HK."
"HK?"
Revan's eyes glinted dangerously. "Just do it!" was the commanding growl Revan spoke.
Bastila nodded again then almost bolted out of the room.
oOo
As Revan meditated, she decided that her emotions were in check again, so she walked back to the Bridge to keep an eye on things. After Malak turned on her, Revan didn't trust anything on the Bridge, including the people in it.
As the Dark Lady watched, she saw that they were getting closer and closer to the ship. Then a Captain nervously ran up to her.
"The ship has been almost completely destroyed, Milady," he reported as calmly as he could. The tremble in his voice could be easily noticed, he obviously didn't want to be the one to tell her the bad news.
Revan's face remained emotionless as she coldly replied, "What a pity... Oh well, Bastila always wanted to redecorate."
"What shall we do Lady Revan?" asked the man.
"Turn the ship around Captain... and head for Telos' Cidadel Station."
"T-Telos?"
Revan angrily turned to look the man in the eyes. "Just do it. You should know I don't like it when people question my orders. Often the penalty is death."
The man gulped and violently nodded before running to the navigational systems.
Revan felt a smile creep onto her lips as the ship turned around and dropped into hyperspace, heading towards Telos.
'Soon it will all happen! Soon I will be in Carth's arms once again soon... Oh so very soon!'
oOo
HK walked out of the Bridge in excitement. Revan had just told him her new plan and it meant he got to kill many, many meatbags. HK felt like squealing in joy, but he wouldn't... Not after the reaction he got last time.
"What do you look so happy about HK?" came Bastila's voice from behind him.
HK turned to face Bastila. "Statement: The master has just told me her plan!"
"And you're exited about that?"
"Gleeful Statement: Oh yes! Many, many meatbags shall perish!"
Bastila smiled darkly at the thought of the many deaths, and then she walked past HK. "We shall have fun."
oOo
Revan smirked as her ship dropped out of hyperspace in orbit above Telos. She knew that it was only a matter of time before it all happened, before her brilliant plan was complete. She quickly left the bridge and stalked to the large training room. Once she got there, she skulked in and watched as Catherine was practicing basic forms of lightsaber combat with Bastila.
"You are truly a strong girl," stated Revan, "you are perfect for my plan."
Catherine looked uneasy as she stammered, "P-plan Lady Revan?"
"Ah yes, it is time you knew of my exceptional plan."
"Is it wise to tell her this now?" asked Bastila, before quickly adding, "I always agree with your greater judgement, Master, but this girl isn't on the dark side!"
Revan's eyes glinted angrily as she growled, "What do you mean, Bastila?"
Bastila moved her head to glare at Catherine as she said, "Many Jedi and people related in any way to the Light-Side hid once you took your rightful place... again... Some of the people hid on Korriban so they would not be suspected of being Light-Sided, this girl is a true Jedi, and not a fallen one either."
Revan winced and glowered at the Catherine. The girl looked terrified; she knew that Bastila was speaking the truth.
oOo (A/N: This is two years ago)
A young, blonde haired girl was running down the Dreshde halls as fast as she could, her blonde hair streaming out behind her. As she ran faster, a Sith student came running after her. He was yelling furiously at the girl.
"COME BACK HERE YOU FILTHY SCUM!" yelled the Sith student.
The girl pouted and screamed, "GO AWAY!"
"I WILL GET YOU CATHERINE!"
"NO YOU WON'T!"
Catherine bit her lip as she tried to hold back the urge to kill the Sith student. She knew doing stuff like that led you on the road to the Dark Side, whatever it was.
Catherine rounded another corner, lowering her head so she could run faster. Then, she collided straight into... her mother!
The child looked up at the older woman, tears starting to fall down her cheeks as she cried out, "Mama!"
The Sith student came around the corner, the furious look still plastered on his face. But,he skidded to a stop when he saw the woman glaring at him.
The woman stood tall and growled, "Were you just chasing my daughter?"
The boy backed up, "Hey, I-I don't want any trouble... I was just chasing her for-for-for fun... yeah... fun... bye!" The Sith student turned around and bolted away from the woman and her child as she squeezed Catherine's shoulders.
Catherine's mother knelt down to look at her daughter properly, "It's alright dear," she said with a smile, "He won't chase you now."
Catherine managed a nod as the tears continued pouring down her cheeks. She was so relieved that her mother was there to stop him.
The older woman grabbed Catherine's hand and led her down the hall, to their living quarters.
As they entered the room, Catherine's mother asked, "How is your training going, dear?"
"Horrible!" Was Catherine's response, "part of the training is killing people younger than us!"
Her mother lowered her head in sorrow. She hated the life they now had to live, but it was better than death. "I'm sorry to put you under this stress, you need to stay strong!"
"Don't worry mama, I shall never fall!"
"Confidence is good, but arrogance leads to the Dark Side. Don't worry dear; as soon as I can I will flee to a different planet with you! Just keep acting like a Sith student until then."
"Ok mama, I'll keep acting like a Sith until then!"
The woman smiled gently and gave her daughter an affectionate hug. She thought Catherine was a very brave girl, especially under the circumstances. "Now go to bed Catherine," she said, letting go of the calmed girl.
Catherine smiled and gave her mother a peck on the cheek before walking towards her bed. As she disappeared into the bedroom, her mother looked at the door of the room in concern and sighed. "Being Light-Sided in a planet populated by Sith is tough! I hope Catherine can stay on the right track until we leave!"
oOo (A/N: It's back to the present day)
Admiral Celina was walking down the empty streets of Telos. Ever since Revan took over the role of being Dark Lord of the Sith, what was left of the Republic had hidden on Telos. There wasn't many Republic soldiers but secretly, many people had sided with the Republic, hoping to destroy the Sith and end the seemingly endless reign of terror.
Admiral Celina sighed in frustration and kicked a rock along the path. She knew that Telos was going to be attacked; she was just hoping that Revan wasn't aboard one the oncoming ships.
The Admiral sighed again and walked down a black alley. She stopped suddenly, knelt down and pulled a metal grate away from a deep home. She slowly lowered herself down and walked through the sewers. This was one of the entries to the Rupublic's secret underground bunker. As the Admiral entered the bunker, she saw many people scurrying around in excitement.
"What happened?" she asked the closest person, grabbing his arm to stop him from running past her.
The man beamed at her and said, "The Jedi have come to us! They're here right now and you'll never guess who they saved from the Star Forge!"
Admiral Celina's curiosity went through the roof, "Who?" she asked.
"Carth Onasi!"
"But he was killed by Revan!"
The man nodded. "We all thought he was but apparently he survived!" he said, talking so fast that he was stumbling over his words.
Celina grinned at the man and let go of his arm as she exclaimed, "That's great!"
"Admiral Celina?" asked another man approaching the two of them.
"Yes," said Celina, turning to face the second man, a republic soldier.
"They're waiting for you."
"They?"
"The Jedi and the top Republic soldiers," said the soldier.
Celina blinked. "Oh, right," she said suddenly, remembering that the Jedi had arrived, "I'm on my way... Are they in the conference room?"
The soldier nodded. "Of course."
Admiral Celina quickly walked to the Conference room, the desperation and anger suddenly vanished and was replaced by hope and happiness.
oOo
Revan sat on her bed simmering with anger. Catherine really was a Jedi and she was furious. She couldn't believe that she, Lady Revan leader of the Sith, had been deceived by a mere child! She resisted the urge to punch the nearest wall; it was a very childish thing to do. She sighed then stood up, brushing her robes to calm herself.
"Use the anger to make yourself strong," Revan whispered to herself, "after all, you've got a reputation to keep."
Revan exhaled and regained her normal composure before stalking out of her room and moving to find Bastila, who was in her own room.
"Where is the child?" she asked as she barged into Bastila's room.
Bastila jumped up to face Revan as she replied, "In a locked room, under heavy guard."
"It isn't comfortable I hope, we haven't got enough comfort for a Jedi," spat Revan in disgust.
"There is only a bed and a toilet in the room."
"Good, we don't want her to get too comfortable here... or even in this life for that matter."
Bastila snickered. "When shall she die?"
Revan smirked, "In one of the traps set up for us. As you know, Telos is a planet rebelling against us, they would've put up precautions against us, but that child will set them off and they might kill her, not like I care!"
"Does she have to know?" asked Bastila.
Revan snorted before saying, "No, she'd rebel. We can't have that if we want to take over Telos."
"How many do you plan to kill?"
"As many as it takes to get the message to the Telosions."
Bastila's face twisted into a dark smile, "I hope that's a lot!" she said sadistically.
Revan's eyes darkened. "I'm not like Malak, I don't overkill for the sake of it. And I believe HK wants to kill all people, but if I wanted them all dead I would've destroyed the entire planet," she said, gaining herself a bow from Bastila.
"Do you know where the Jedi are yet?"
"I believe they are on the rebuilt Taris... Malak had no sense."
Bastila nodded. She still wanted to ask a question but she wasn't sure that she should voice it. After a few moments of tense silence, her curiosity got the better of her and she asked, "Do you know if Carth is still alive?"
"I didn't feel him die, and I allowed a Republic ship to save him," replied Revan, not flinching as her apprentice asked the personal question, "I did it so I could turn him later on, after all I didn't want to kill him... I still don't."
"Where do you think he would be?" asked Bastila, before quickly adding, "Master?"
Revan smirked and turned away from Bastila. "Telos... I'm hoping,"
