"Saviour. Conqueror. Hero. Villain. You are all things, Revan. And yet you are nothing. In the end you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone. I cannot deny your resilience. You survived my first betrayal, thanks to Bastilla's interference. You escaped the destruction of Taris and you escaped me on the Leviathan. You even survived my attempt to destroy you with the Star Forge itself. The Force has kept you alive despite my efforts. And now I will either kill you or you will kill me. We will battle for control of the Star Forge and the end of the war. Prepare yourself." said my former apprentice, Darth Malak, before drawing his red coloured lightsaber. I drew my red and blue sabers.
My former friend leapt at me and I forced pushed him against a wall. I rushed at Malak and slashed at him with both sabers. Malak blasted me with lightning and I was sent flying backwards. I quickly recovered and rushed at the Sith Lord, who attempted to block my assault. I leapt over and reversed my swords. Malak managed to deflect one of my swords, while his armour took the impact of the other. He then forced pushed me bfore trapping me in stasis. Malak threw his lightsaber, while trying to choke me. I summoned on of my sabers to deflect Malak's and sent the other at the sith lord himself. Malak released his hold on me and attempted to resummon his lightsaber before mine could reach him. However I redirected the blade so that it hit the armour in the same place that had taken my previous attack, very close to his chest.
Hopefully I had been able to weaken the armour enough to land a shot. The only reason I wasn't trying to kill Malak was the hope that I could make him see reason if he became injured enough. I summoned the lightsaber back to my hand. Malak leapt at me and I brought both blades up. Unfortunately when it came to raw power, Malak had always been the stronger of us and I was quickly forced onto the defensive. However he couldn't keep up the assault for long, the Sith lord was tiring as quickly as I was. And after several minutes, during which I had been able to find an opening, Malak leaped towards one of the caged Jedi.
I frowned. If Malak had kept up his assault, he might have worn me down to the point where he could have finished me off. What was he up to? My feeling of unease increased when he said: "Fool. Do you think you can beat me here? With the full power of the star Forge behind me?" "What do you mean?" I replied, attempting to hide my wariness. "You only ever saw a factory, a place to build your army. I have managed to go further and harnessed the full might of the Star Forge. You see these Jedi, whom I have captured from Dantooine? For all intents and purposes they are dead, except for one small detail. I have not allowed them to become one with the Force." The Sith Lord walked over to one of the aforementioned Jedi and drained her remaining life force, his wound fully recovering. So much for him seeing reason.
If that was why Malak stopped the assault, to use the Jedi to recover then I had to do something before he completely wore me out. Thankfully he was not the only person who knew how to drain a person's life force. I leapt to the centre of the command centre and drained the life force from all the Jedi in the room. Malak looked worried. We continued our fight. Eventually I managed to lock his lightsaber between the two of mine and, using the force to hold them in place, lifted my former apprentice in the air. I then slammed him against several walls before stabbing him. Malak fell to his knees, coughing. "Very good, Revan. I wonder what would have happened had our fates been reversed. Had I been the one to be redeemed. But, I suppose, it is too late to reflect on such things. Goodbye, old friend." He whispered. I felt his Force presence disappear. "Goodbye." I replied, before walking back to Bastilla. "Are you alright?" she asked. "It's time to leave." I replied.
We walked back to the ship in silence. Hk-47 and Canderous Ordo were waiting at the bottom of the Star Forge. "Canderous, you fly us out of here. Bastilla and I will man the turrets encase anyone comes too close." I ordered. "Right away." replied Canderous before running to the cockpit. The Ebon Hawk flew out of the Star Forge and I suddenly fet a wave of sheer hatred. From the look on Bastilla's face I knew she felt it too. "What the hell was that?" she shouted. I was about to reply when the Star Forge exploded. The ships closest to the space station were completely incinerated. The Ebon Hawk almost managed to escape but was also caught in the explosion. I was thrown against a wall and knocked unconscious. The last thing I saw was Canderous flying from the cockpit and Bastilla being thrown into the engine room.
