"Oh, Carth, is that really all you can muster?" Revan's body cast a shadow over the small area in which Carth stood alone, where he was just previously giving orders to his troops. There had been a small number of dark Jedi attacking the small TSF station on Telos where Carth Onasi had been stationed at the beginning of the planet restoration. He did not come to the room to hide, but to call on the help of the Jedi at Dantooine, he had just received his answer; 'they had to evaluate the danger'. Carth shook his head, knowing he had failed his men. If Revan was now standing at his door, this meant his troops were all dead or injured. He turned and faced her.
"Revan…" It was still a surprise to him when he saw her in this way; so dark and without any hope of returning to what she had once been. Carth could think of nothing else to say at this moment; not that there was not a hundred thoughts running through his mind at this point, but none of them would form into a coherent sentence. He wanted nothing more than to hold Revan and tell her that he still loved her, no matter what she has done or what she will do, he would always love her, but he knew better. This was no his Revan, his Revan died somewhere out there in the darkness. It was no one's fault; just how the Force planned things to end, but looking at the shell of the woman he once loved killed him in the most painful way ever, from the inside.
"Can not think of a thing to say?" It was almost as if Revan was merely playing with his emotions, but at this moment, Carth could no longer show her the pain she was causing him. Carth merely looked at Revan in an empty expression; this seemed to aggravate her. "You knew this was coming and there is no Bastila to protect you." The name came out like acid; Revan seemed to have grown angrier with Bastila than anyone else. She peered around the room then looked back at Carth. "Where is your love, Carth? Is she meditating her precious Jedi Code?" Revan's eyes were now black, she was lost forever. Carth looked down; he had to remind himself to remain strong.
"You were the only Jedi I have ever loved and you will be the last woman I will ever love." Carth wanted so badly to reach out and touch her one last time, but there was no hope for that. If he attempted to get close enough to her, she would merely strike him down. Though, that was what he wanted, he would try one last time to bring her back to the light. "Revan… is there any part of you that still loves at all? Is there any part of you that remembers the love we shared?" Carth could not fight the pleading look that crept up into his eyes. He watched as Revan's expression never changed, even when she pondered over the question.
"I once loved you, yes; but that was not the problem, Carth. You could not see that the Jedi council would never allow us to love one another and when I came to you with a solution, you had already fallen for Bastila. Now, that I have decided to take over the Republic, I have decided to start with you. You are what the Republic represents, and I will kill you first, to show the Republic and you, that your time is over." Revan stepped closer into the room, slowly. Carth had hoped that her slow movement was due to the fact that she did still love him and was not sure whether or not to kill him. He watched her in anticipation.
"Revan… just know that even in death, I will still love you. It was always you; no one else." Carth closed his eyes as Revan pulled out her light saber and began to swirl it around in her hand, preparing for her kill. Just then, there was a loud whooshing sound then a short gasp and when Carth opened his eyes, he saw a yellow light saber protruding through Revan's chest. "NO!!" Carth screamed as the light saber retracted and Revan's body fell to the floor. Bastila stood over the two as Carth stroke the thin hair of the woman he loved as she gasped for breath, holding her wound. "Revan… please, no." Carth let the tears fall now; there was nothing he could do. He cried for the years that Revan had left him, he cried for every night he woke up and thought she would be with him, but she was not, but he mostly cried for the fact that he would never see her again. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at Carth, for a moment there was peace in her eyes, then she furrowed her brow in rage.
"You… you betrayed me. This is not the day I die, for I died that day on Dantooine when I realized…" She coughed, she had, if any, only a few seconds left. Her eyes turned to Bastila, who only watched the scene from the corner of the room. "I died when…..you loved her. I..." Revan's last thought was never finished, for she was gone. Carth held onto her body long after the life had left her eyes. Bastila had stayed with Carth for a long while, but by the time the sun had set and the moon was high in the sky, Bastila could no longer stay with Carth, so she left him with Revan's body. He continued to cry as he pulled the hair from her face and looked deep into her eyes. They were no longer gray, but her old color had returned. It was as if all the darkness had left her body in death.
"Revan… I will never love again nor will I speak of who had attempted to attack here on this day. Your name will be clean of any of this. You were once a hero; who you came back as was not you… you were too good to fall again." Carth kissed her forehead one more time before he picked up her body and laid it on top of his desk. He stepped away from the body and looked out the window out at the moon… His life was over now that Revan had died. He had one last thing to do before his own death; bury his love.
