Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Alice the Raven: thanks, I've changed Bastila's behavior, so it's not so obvious
Tiamante Salazar Tameran: thanks a lot
Prisoner 26401: Yeah, I went on a bit of a rampage with Bastila and Skye, didn't I? hopefully I corrected it
Darth Arachne: thanks, I will continue
Kelly: Thanks
Bastila Shan and two other Jedi, Bria and Stuart, made it to the bridge of Revan's ship. Only three Dark jedi stood between the Jedi strike team and Darth Revan. They charged Bastila and her companions.
Stuart was quickly cut down by the dark jedi only to killed by Bastila's blade after she had finished off her own opponent. A furious sneer ran across her face as she killed the dark jedi.
"Die!" Bastila screeched.
She could barely control the emotions that rose up when she saw Stuart die.
No. I will not lose control. Not Here. Bastila thought.
Jedi Knight Bria was locked in an intense duel with the dark jedi. The dark jedi nicked Bria's leg with his lightsaber causing her to lose her balance. Bastila intervened before he could finish her off. One slash from her lightsaber and he fell to the ground dead. Bria got up and seeing the Dark Lord standing still, lightsabers humming, started to charge Revan.
"No! Wait!" Bastila yelled at Bria.
It was over before it started. With a slight motion of her hand, Bria's wounded leg shattered and she fell to the ground but then Bria was hoisted up in air, clutching her throat as Revan choked the life out of her. She fell to the ground dead.
Now it was only Revan and Bastila.
That was impressive. Hmm, I would like to do that to Master Vrook sometime. A voice spoke in the back of Bastila's mind.
What? No! How could I even think that? She immediately retorted.
Revan let out a short, sharp laugh.
Then spoke, "You have done well to get to my Bridge, Bastila. Do you like it up here? I can arrange for you to be up here many more times."
"What do you mean?" Bastila snapped.
"Malak, my apprentice, has become unfaithful, disobeying me, it is time for him die and for someone more…talented to take his place. That someone could be you, Bastila. Join me and take Malak's place at my side!"
Bastila just stood there, absorbing this new information, a thousand paths appeared in front of her, before saying "I…"
Just then several explosions rocked the ship, Bastila fell down when she got up she saw that Revan was still lying face down she could tell that Revan was severely hurt in the blast. She sensed that Revan still had a spark of life in her. Immediately, The Jedi Council's instructions flew back to her
Capture Revan alive.
She grabbed the fading spark and kept it alive. Bastila pick up Revan's unconscious body and ran the jedi ship using the force to speed up her actions. She could feel the force swirling around them, but in a strange way.
When she got to the ship the male soldier guarding the ship immediately said
"Whoa, there is no way I'm letting her on this ship!" pointing to Revan.
Bastila snapped "You will let us both on the ship!" Her words filled with the Force.
The soldier just backed away saying "No Way!" Too steeped in fear to be affected by force persuasion.
Bastila felt an bubble of anger and irraition rise up in her because this young man was denying her access to her own ship. Bastila suddenly used a blast of the Force to push him aside knocking him unconscious. Bastila felt sad for moment, and then she realized she needed to get off the Revan's ship now.
Bastila boarded the jedi ship;
The pilot stood gasped "Is that…Darth Revan?"
"Yes, Now set a course for Dantooine and get us off this ship NOW!" roared Bastila.
Pilot was shocked, for he had been a jedi pilot for years, but never experienced such an outburst from a jedi, but he complied. The ship escaped just in time before Revan's ship blew. Bastila took the injured Revan to the Med bay were she tried used her force powers to heal Revan.
"I'm sorry, Master." she whispered.
Master? Who was I calling Master? I must have be thinking of the Council, yes, of course, definitely. Bastila thought quickly.
She took off the mask covering her face and was quite surprised to see a relatively normal face staring back at her. A Pale face, flowing red hair, green eyes…
She's…She's beautiful, Bastila thought, staring at Revan's face.
Bastila stood by Revan, gripping her hand, watching the Med-Bot work on her until they reached Dantooine. Then the pilot came back.
"Padawan Bastila, we have reached Dantooine, I have informed the Jedi Council that we have Revan and she is need of medical attention."
Bastila looked up from Revan.
"Excellent. Thank you. I am sorry for my outburst earlier. I was not quite myself."
Bastila explained.
The Jedi Council came and took Revan to the enclave. The jedi healed Revan's broken body, but her mind was a different matter. It looked like it had been destroyed, so the Jedi Council healed her mind and implanted a new identity, Sgt. Skye Cabal, a female Republic officer with a history of insubordination and a master with the Vibroblade.
The jedi are probably watching me, observing me, best not to do anything…unique,Skyethought.
The council let Skye walk around the enclave where she greeted a few people but she mostly kept to herself. As she walked around, she felt someone watching her, following her, but keeping her self hidden. Skye smirked. That Padawan had been following her everywhere. She thought best to confront the young Padawan.
Skye immediately recognized her. That is Bastila. I hope she will answer my question. I doubt she will, here.
Skye Cabal approached Bastila.
"Padawan Bastila Shan. Hello. I'm Sgt. Skye Cabal." She said pleasantly.
Remember Me? She thought. A shark's smile raced across her face.
Bastila gasped in horror for this was the first time she had seen Revan since the Jedi ship. The Jedi Council refused tell her anything other than that Revan was alive and her mind was damaged. She was dressed up all in black with Sergeant's stripes on the arms; she had gotten the clothing at a local store in enclave. Black shirt and Black pair pants with a thin red stripe down the side with a vibroblade strapped to her side and was also carrying a duffel bag. She wore hair down most of time
"Hello...Sergeant…Cabal." Bastila stuttered though the entire name.
The sight of Revan standing in front of her with a weapon unnerved her.
She chuckled slightly. "I am sorry if I startled you, Bastila. I just heard that the Council is paring us on a mission of sorts. I want to meet you before we depart."
Another Jedi ran up to Skye and said, "Sergeant Cabal, You and Padawan Bastila are to report to the Republic cruiser, the Endar Spire in one hour."
Skye nodded at the jedi and held out her hand to Bastila and said
"It will be a pleasure to work with you…Jedi."
That last word made Bastila's blood freeze. She just stared at Revan's hand but then she realized it would be rude not to. Bastila shook Revan's hand.
As Revan walked, she noticed that she was drawing looks from every male in enclave.
If only they knew who they where looking at. She chuckled at that thought.
Revan noticed one particular Knight watching her closely as she was walking. Revan decided to humor him and started to walk towards him. She sensed that he was getting increasingly nervous as she approached. Revan smirked.
"Hey, Beautiful." He called out to her
"Beautiful? I thought that jedi where supposed to be such emotions"
"Yeah, but you are something else" He responded.
Indeed, you meet the Dark Lord everyday, do you? Revan thought.
"What your name?" she replied.
"Caden Desdemona, Jedi Knight" he proudly stated
"I'm Sergeant Skye Cabal."
"Hmm. Want to duel?" Revan asked.
"You? Sure, I guess." He responded.
He seem quite surprised that she asked him to a duel.
"Excellent. Meet you in the training room?" Caden replied.
She met the young knight in the training room. The doors sealed behind them. She sensed no surveillance cameras in the room. Revan found that odd. I guess they relied on a observer for surveillance. She smiled darkly. She raised her sword and he ignited his lightsaber. Skye's sword had several cortosis weaves in it to protect from lightsaber damage.
"Don't worry," he said. "I'll go easy on you."
"Ok." Revan replied as she gave her sword her trademark twirl.
The fight only lasted a few minutes. Revan toyed with him for a few minutes. Then she knocked him off his feet and held the sword at his throat.
"Looks like I win this match, Caden." Revan sweetly said. He just nodded his head.
"Never underestimate your opponent." Revan said darkly as she opened door and left the room. She want to check out the Endar Spire.
