Chapter 3
In the halls of the Jedi temple Satele and Durham have been giving Jackson a first rate tour. "So this is the Tree of Life, the Jedi masters that first built the temple created by influencing the Midichlorians to show how the force can create life, and it has stood for thousands of years." Satele said smiling up at the tree. Looking at Satele's figure Jackson was bewildered at how the sun shining down on her made her look like an angel with her black hair glistening, fair skin glowing, pearl eyes shining, and her full lips. "Too bad she's a Jedi though." Jackson thought to himself. "So what do you think?" Satele asked breaking him out of his thoughts. "Amazing! I had no idea that Jedi could do that." Jackson said catching himself. "Yeah it is amazing but only-. Hey where's Durham?" Satele asked looking around the room for Durham. "Hey! Give it back!" Durham yelled in the distance. "Did you hear that?" Satele asked looking at Jackson. "Yeah!" Jackson replied sprinting off in the direction of the yell with Satele following closely behind.
"When they came onto the scene they saw Durham surrounded by three older students who were throwing his lightsaber around like a toy. "Come on give it back already." Durham pleaded. "Not until you apologize for being the spawn of the exile." The leader said holding the lightsaber just out of Durham's reach. Jackson walked up behind the leader and tapped his shoulder. "Huh?" *Thwack!* was the sound made when Jackson punched him in the face sending him on the ground dropping Durham's lightsaber. "What do you think you're doing you idiot!" One of them yelled. "It's alright there's no need to ensue violence." The leader said getting up off the ground. "Although I must ask why you punched me?" The leader asked looking straight at Jackson. "I don't take kind to jerks like you who pick on those weaker than them." Jackson said with malice. "Then how about I show you how strong I really am?" The leader asked. "Come on Gran leave it alone!" Satele protested knowing exactly what he was insinuating. "What did you have in mind?" Jackson asked with an eyebrow raised. "Simple I challenge you to a match in the training courtyard." Gran said with a smug look on his face. "You're on!" Jackson said with gritted teeth. After that Gran and his cronies took off in the other direction.

"Bastilla!" Revan said turning around to see what the sound was and saw bastilla unconscious on the floor. Running to Bastilla's side Revan picked up his love. "I suggest you take her to her room and explain Revan the council will discuss what you have told us." Jolee said to Revan. "I will masters." Revan said carrying an unconscious bastilla to her room.
..!
After the incident with Bastilla Gavin went out in search of Brianna. Finally after searching for what seemed like eternity Gavin found her standing near one of the fountains wearing Jedi robes that left little to the imagination although her hair had grown to such a length it reached the small of her back, her beauty took his breath away. Turning around Brianna locked eyes with her one true love. Running to him in pure joy Brianna jumped into his arms with Gavin receiving her spinning her around. After settling down the two kissed with so much passion that you could feel it all the way to Tatooine. "I missed you." Gavin said touching his forehead to hers. "I could tell." Brianna said with a smirk.
..!
In Bastilla's quarters Revan prepared to explain the truth of his origins. Bastilla's quarters were moderate she had one bed a small caffa table in the middle of the room with a few chairs around. "What happened I had the strangest dream Revan returned and told the council he was the offspring of the Sith emperor." Bastilla said rubbing her temples. "Sorry hun it's true." Revan said with the anticipation of what was about to come. *Slap!* Bastilla slapped Revan across the face leaving a red handprint on his face. "What was that-!" Revan was cut off by Bastilla kissing him. "The slap was for leaving. The kiss was for coming back." Bastilla said breaking the kiss. "Look I didn't want to risk you or anyone getting hurt and to be honest I'd do it again to keep you safe." Revan said holding Bastilla's face in his hands like he couldn't believe she was there. "Still the same old Revan always trying to protect others. You'd probably take on the whole sith empire if you could." Bastilla said smiling. "You know it." Revan said with a smirk. "That's my man, but I have to ask you something, was what you said really true about the emperor being your father?" Bastilla asked with worry etched on her face. "It's true it seemed that I was his chosen to take over when he passed which is why he constructed the Star Forge, he knew that the call of home would beckon to me but he didn't know how I would be aligned so he infused the Forge with his dark power so I would inevitably fall, although he didn't count on my angel that would save me from hell." Revan said with a small loving smile. "Well then tell me all about what you learned of your origins." Bastilla said with a smile.
..!
"You know you don't have to do this!" Satele said trying to talk Jackson out of fighting Gran. "Yes I do." Jackson replied with a grim face stretching his arms. "If you do this you'll be outmatched." Satele said pointing out the obvious. "Why just because I'm not a Jedi I won't be able to beat one!" Jackson yelled in anger. "No but you'll take a beating or worse." Satele said moving closer to him. "Well leave that to me." Jackson said turning to leave for the training courtyard.
Walking up to the courtyard Jackson noticed that a lot of Jedi had gathered around looked like the slime wanted a public show well he'd give him a show alright. "So it looks like you're not soft after all." Gran said snidely with a smile. "Looks like your still a cracker jack." Jackson said in response. "Well let's begin shall we." Gran said standing up losing his smile. "Lets." Jackson said following him to the training area. The training area was a long stretch of brown tile with pillars spaced out in a pattern along it the area was wide enough for movement thankfully. "So what will the form of combat be?" Gran asked shedding some of his heavier robes. "Anything but weapons." Jackson said bouncing to circulate the blood. "As you wish. My friends will begin the match when they deem fit." Gran said pointing to his friends from earlier. "Well I'm ready." Jackson said bring his hands up in a very basic fighting stance. "Ready? Begin!" The announcer yelled starting the match.
Jackson wore a black t-shirt, black cargo pants, and black cargo pants. While Gran wore only baggy whit pants.
Jackson began by closing the distance rushing Gran. Gran seeing this as an aggressive side stepped but was caught surprised when Jackson changed levels and tripped him with spin kick to his knee. When Gran fell on his back Jackson mounted him and began to rain blow after blow on him. Although Gran had one second of relief so he pushed Jackson five yards away. Many of the onlookers cheered at this. Using the force to augment his speed Gran appeared inches away from Jacksons face but was struck to the ground by Jackson's fist. Rising up off the ground anger radiated off Gran "How could I lose to this piece of trash!" Gran thought to himself. Gran finally began an offensive throwing strike after strike with Jackson blocking every single one. Until finally Gran lost it and unleashed a storm of lightning upon Jackson although Jackson decide to press forward resisting the lightning to attack Gran but this was thwarted when both of them were flung to opposite sides of the courtyard. "That's enough!" Revan yelled out with Bastilla and Satele Flanking him.
Walking down to the training area Revan walked towards Jackson intent on scolding him. "What do you think you're doing he could've killed you, and you what did you-!" Revan yelled until he saw that Gran had disappeared.
