AN: Sorry for the long wait. I will try to get a chapter out every week, but I am kind of stressed for time right now so no promises.
Ch.1 Taking Charge
Echani Dreadnought ESS Dragons Teeth
The duralium doors parted allowing Revan to walk onto the bridge of the Echani battleship. The bridge was massive nearly twice as large as a normal Echani bridge. The extra space was to accommodate a massive holoprojector that helped organize fleet movements. It was in front of the project that stood general Yusanis. Seeing his uncle, Revan headed towards him.
After, in Revan's mind, the Jedi had betrayed him Revan had gone to Laconia the Echani home world. There he implored his uncle to allow him to join the war effort as part of the Echani fleet. His uncle at first had refused saying that he was too young but did allow Revan to join him as an "advisor" when he learned that Mandalore was the man that raped his sister-in-law and sired Revan. Yusanis saw it as a manner of honor for Revan to join. The Jedi, unaware of the connection between the Echani and Revan, were unable to locate him. In the two months since Revan had joined Yusanis he had witnessed three major battles and several small skirmish. Unfortunately, because of poor Republic leadership all three major battles were lost. Only the Echani battle groups held their ground for any meaningful length of time. This led to the decision to replace the current secretary of defense Worthen Lesston with General Yusanis. The battle group was doing one last survey mission along the border of the mid and outer rim before heading to Coruscant to deliver Yusanis. "Anything?"
"Nothing little brother," Varon replied.
"Not even a mining colony, probably to close to the war zone for anybody to invest in this system." Falcar said while slapping Revan on the shoulder.
"Yes well th…" Revan trailed off as he felt a warning in the Force.
"Revan you ok?"
The ship shook violently several crewmembers where caught of guard causing them to fall. "Report!" Yusanis roared.
"Sir six Mandalorian dreadnaughts just dropped out of hyperspace. They have destroyed the cruiser Heavens Light."
"All ships return fire!" As one, the nine remaining members of the battle group turned and unloaded on the dreadnoughts.
"Sir enemy shields are holding," The Bridge shook again, "Sir the frigate Firebird was hit in her reactor. We're receiving reports of heavy damage throughout the fleet."
Yusanis opened his mouth to speak when a power conduit exploded behind him. The discharge sent Yusanis Revan and his two half-brothers across the deck. Slowly picking himself up Revan began coughing because of the black acidic smoke that the damage conduit was spewing into the bridge. Looking around he located his family members lying on the deck, using the Force to probe them he found, to his relief, that they were merely unconscious.
"Missile launchers offline!"
"General we've lost two more ships what are your orders?" The Captain asked.
Revan stared at the Captain that had approached him. He wasn't sure why the Captain was calling him general. Then he realized that with all the smoke and damage to the bridge the man thought he was Yusanis.
"General your orders."
Revan turned his attention briefly towards the flicking holoprojector. "All ships course 7256 mark 3. Divert all power to engines and shields." Revan yelled out the orders as best he could between coughs.
"Sir that heading puts on direct course for the systems asteroid belt."
"The fleet has its orders Captain." Revan replied making sure to emphasize the man's rank. The six remaining members of the task force turned and pushed their engines into the red as they speed towards the systems asteroid belt. Only three ships made it to the belt.
"Sir we have reached the asteroid belt shall we slow."
"Negative Captain." Revan replied calmly as he watched the hologram showing the position of the two fleets. He smirked as he saw the Mandalorians following his ships into the belt. They may have bigger guns but lack maneuverability. Thank the Force for Mandalorian arrogance. Shit! Revan's smirk faltered as he saw the rear Mandalorian warship change course to go over the belt instead of through it. I'll deal with him later. "Weapons status!"
"Sir Lasers are at 22." The confused weapons office replied.
"Transfer power from forward batteries to the rear batteries and commence firing."
"Sir we have no direct line of sight on the Mandalorians and even if we did at these levels they would have no effect on their she..."
"I want you to target the asteroids behind us," Revan shouted before turning to the communication office. "Tell the other ships to fire as well."
The three remaining Echani warships transferred what little power they could from the rapidly overheating engines to their rear turbolasers. The normally stable asteroid belt erupted into chaos as the ships lasers pounded into asteroids behind them randomly. The Mandalorian shields being designed to counter energy base attacks proved useless as hundreds of asteroid fragments impacted the vessels. The high velocity rocks shredded the reinforced hulls. The mighty vessels fell quickly to Revan's trap.
Cheers erupted on the Bridge of the ships. Revan however was not cheering. "Helm how long till we reach the edge of the belt?"
"Sir ummm," the navigation office was caught off guard by the question. "We should exit the field in sixty seconds."
"Captain reroute power from engines to the forward turbolasers. Our momentum will take us the rest of the way. Single the other ships to do the same." Revan ordered. Several crewmembers looked at him funny as they fulfilled his orders. Revan ignored the stares as he turned from the holoprojector to stare out the forward view ports. Where are you? Revan did not have to wait long for an answer as a particular large asteroid moved out of their way to reveal the sixth dreadnought.
"MANDALORIAN DREADNOUGHT!" The captain yelled. Obviously, he along with the rest of the crew missed the moment it changed course.
"All ships fire!" Revan ordered. The three Echani warships unloaded their main forward guns sending a wave of deadly energy towards the massive dreadnought. The Mandalorians responded by sending an even deadly barrage at the Echani cruiser flanking the Dragons Teeth. Revan stood watching the battle through the forward view ports making sure to show no visible sings of the nervousness he felt. He knew that even undamaged this would be a close fight and with the damage taking in the first five minutes of the battle, he was even less sure of coming out of this alive. The Echani cruiser exploded shaking the capital ship. Revan watched with growing dread as the Mandalorians turned their colossal guns towards the last escort ship and fired.
/Are you just going to stand there and wait for death?/ A familiar dark voice asked him.
/In case you didn't notice I am trying to destroy that ship so go away./ Revan replied angrily.
/I can't do that Revan your life is to…important to me./
/Well what do you suggest I should do?/
/Simple young one use the Force to destroy that worthless ship./
/WHAT! That goes against everything the Jed…/
/STOP THINKING LIKE A JEDI!/ It interrupted Revan viciously. /You have tremendous power nearly as great as mine Revan I suggest you start using it./
/Fine but how?/
/I am sure you can figure that one out yourself./
"Basted,"Revan muttered to himself irritably.
A massive explosion illuminated the bridge in orange light as their remaining escort ship imploded. Moments later the Dragons Teeth shook violently as a full barrage from the Mandalorian dreadnought hit it.
"Sir shields are failing!"
Ignoring the man Revan reached through the Force with grim determination towards the enemy dreadnought. Size matters not. Revan thought as he ripped the ships forward shield generators from the vessel. No longer protected by shields the other hull vaporized instantly. A laser blast penetrated the Mandalorian power core causing a massive explosion that turned the mighty ship into a mere navigational hazed. Revan smiled briefly before falling to the deck. A single thought not his own passed through his mind before he fell unconscious.
/You are becoming strong my little Revan./
Outer Rim
Scarlet groaned as she returned to the conscious world. Her shoulders were on fire from being suspended off the ground by her wrists for an unknown amount of time. After her failed attack on the padawan, she had fled hoping to escape her master's wrath. She didn't get far before one of her masters other servants found her. When the poison dart burrowed itself into her lekku she felt sure she was about to die, only to awake days later chained to the ceiling. Her once beautiful clothes were now no more than blood stained rags on the stone floor. A noise in front of her caused her to tiredly raise her head. Standing in front of her was her master.
"Now where were we my little pet?" It hissed sadistically at her.
AN: Please Review. No flames please.
