Star Wars: Dark Knight
Chapter 1. Planet Tsukineko
A woman with short green hair crouched behind the dense foliage, her luminescent blue eyes scanning the surrounding area, the woman's black cat ears swiveled in the direction of a snapping twig, her long sleek black tail lashes as she tracks the creatures position her clawed hand resting on one of her lightsabers.
a man in classic black with garb stood in her view, a red mask covering his face with a black visor over his eyes as he sits in the clearing, his hands on his knees as he starts to float off the ground, in obvious meditation of the universe and the questions of life and some deep psychological shit. several lightsabers of different models and shapes around his waist, making a total of six.
the woman creeps forward breathing slowly her eyes trained on the man in front of her. her other clawed hand going to rest on her second lightsaber strapped to her waist. her small black paws barely making a sound on the leaf strewn jungle ground.
the man floats, using the force to keep himself aloft, as he breathes deeply, already detecting the girl but doing nothing to show it. suddenly a few boulders around him start to rise up as he focuses, several of them going over and around his head and body.
slowly the woman stands her hands falling to her sides.
"your Reven am i correct?" she asked carefully.
the man slowly stands from his floating position, the rocks drifting back to the ground as you hear in your mind "yes i am youngling. and you were sent here by the jedi i presume?"
"you are correct." the woman answered him. "my name is Kuro."
Kuro's tail lashes her left ear twitching at the sounds of the jungle.
Revan nods speaking for the first time, his voice masked by an electronic voice modulator "i have never seen one of your kind before… you intrigue me… if you are here to kill me then i welcome you to try… i won't even wield any of my weapons… so go ahead. Charge the former Jedi… take me back to your council in pieces if you have the skill"
"i prefer not to kill anyone." Kuro said her ears swiveling to Revens voice. "the counsel wishes to speak with you. they wanted me to see if you were still alive and if you were to bring you to them. that is all i am here to do."
Revan hesitates before responding "i did not leave the council on good terms… what do they want with me now?" he turns to you, watching you cautiously.
"they did not give me all of the details." Kuro starts pushing a piece of hair away from her eyes with her hand. "they only told me no harm will come to you as long as you in turn do not harm anyone. they only wish to speak."
he nods slowly "Very well… where is your starship? lead the way.." Revan looks at you slowly
Kuro nods walking back into the forest.
"its this way. i left it in a clearing up ahead." she said, looking back at him, one ear angled down the other up.
he nods and walks in his hut, grabbing a bag as he follows the girl.
they make it to the clearing a small two seater star fighter sat in it, Kuro climbs in flipping switches as her droid unit beeps at her in confirmation of her actions, she looks at Revan.
"thats R2D9 my droid unit." she introduced.
he nods and stares at the droid "i remember when i had a droid… but that was long ago…" he jumps into the star fighter.
"hold on to your seat, this baby goes fast." Kuro smirked.
the star fighter begins to lift off.
Revan watches as the star fighter takes off into space, landing on coruscant as he gets out looking at the jedi temple "dark times… and dark memories are all that await me here…. did they tell you what happened little jedi?"
"they did not." Kuro stated getting out. "i may be a jedi knight but they tend to keep me in the dark, I'm not exactly conditioned to be the emotionless jedi they would like."
he nods "you at least are not a puppet to their ways… " he hands you a lightsaber off his belt "this was my first red saber… it was… the apprentice before me. i took it from him and took my place by my master's side. it is yours if you'd like it. since i doubt i'll be leaving here today…"
"why would you give me this?" she asked taking the lightsaber from him. "and why would they not allow you to leave? you obviously mean no harm."
he looks at you slowly and chuckles "after all these years… i still hold resentment… towards the council, and I'm sure the feeling is mutual… i may mean no harm but I'm sure they mean harm to me…" he turns and walks into the temple to the council room.
Kuro follows.
"i have brought Revan here as you have asked." she said.
"job well done Jedi knight Kuro." a female counsel member said looking down at her. "you are dismissed."
"ah? but master Falkren, what will happen to him?" Kuro asked slightly in concern.
"that is none of your concern." Falkren started motioning for the young catsiy to leave.
"but.."
"no buts now go."
"yes master…" Kuro sighed her ears low on her head, her tail dragging the ground as she walked out of the room. 'but that dosen't mean i can't find out on my own'
Kuro dashes off, meanwhile in the counsel room,
"although we the counsel hate to admit it, Revan, we have need of your assistance." Falkren said staring down at the once well known Sith lord.
he laughs "very well… so you are hiring me as a bounty hunter i'm guessing? who do i need to kill and how much are you paying me?"
"no." Falkren stated. "although you are not far off, we need you to return to the Sith as an undercover agent."
Kuro's eyes widen as she heard those words from within the air shaft she was hiding in.
'so thats what they want' she thought.
Revan nods slowly "very well… but i shall need an apprentice to make the appearance more convincing…"
"Very well" Falkren started. "id imagine you have someone in mind."
he nods "the girl that brought me here has potential… it would not be difficult to convince them of her…"
"Kuro?" Falkren asked surprised. "why her? she's a loose cannon."
"exactly because of that reason… Sith are fueled by emotion… it should be easy enough to trigger her into a raged state to easily fool them…"
"but would that not cause her to turn to the dark side?" a man asked.
"it depends on how well you trained her isn't it… are you confident in your abilities, past colleagues?" Revan chuckles and looks at them, his challenge standing between him and the masters
"are you trying to say we cannot prevent our own jedi from turning?!" the man yelled.
Revan looks at the jedi "since a master is on the verge of succumbing to violence… yes." he chuckles "but are you willing to gamble one jedi, when you will lose the with rebellion?"
"very well, we will allow you Kuro…" Falkren said. "you may leave when ready."
he nods "very well… i will need a ship. and not your star fighter's… i will need… MY ship… fully repaired… you know of which ship i talk of, don't you?"
"very well…" Falkren nodded. "Kuro we all know you are there."
"ah!" Kuro yelps falling down from the air duct. "ow… "
he laughs and chuckles "this will be easy…"
Kuro looks at the counsel.
"soooo… ill be working with him?" she asked sheepishly.
"yes young one." Falkren said dismissing them both.
Revan bows respectfully to the council before walking away.
