STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE SITH

Second Battle of Rakata Prime Part 2

Mira looked around at the site that was before her. Mission, Atton, Brianna, Jolee, Mical, Juhani, Aria, Visas and Shala were under fire by dozens of Sith soldiers. They had been deflecting blaster bolts for about ten minutes and from the looks of it there was no sign of them letting up.

Mira and Mission were fighting back to back as the battle ensued.

"This is crazy," Mission said.

Mira deflected another shot. "Tell me about it,"

Brianna and the others were trying hard to gain some ground but the Sith had completely surrounded them all.

After several minutes fighting the Sith had stopped firing their weapons and went into a defense formation.

"What are they doing?" Jolee said.

Atton turned to look at him. "I don't know but I think were about to find out,"

They all watched as a man in dark robes made his way to the front of the formation. He had a mask on so they couldn't see his face.

"Surrender and we shall spare you lives. We only want the Exile and Mission Vao," He said to them.

Mission and Aria looked at the man curiously.

"What do you want with us?" Aria asked.

"My master has requested that you come with us. If you refuse we will kill your companions and take you anyway," He answered.

Mission and Aria looked at him. They raised their lightsaber's and charged him.

The Sith Lord stretched out his hands and force lighting engulfed them.

Mission had never felt pain like this before in her life, she could feel the lighting shock her all over her body.

Aria had channeled her energy and turned the lighting into force energy and sent a powerful force wave at the Sith Lord.

She watched as the entire formation had feel to the ground. "Attack them!" she yelled.

The others had rushed the Sith soldiers and began to cut them down.

The Sith Lord rose and ignited his saber and began to duel Mission.

Mission was still in pain but she fought him with all the strength she had left. Aria came beside her and aided her.

The two of them fought and within minutes they had killed the Sith Lord.

They looked around and saw that the others had gained the upper hand in the battle.

"Hold them and get into the Hawk we need to leave now," She said.

Just as she finished her sentence another Sith Lord came and knocked her down with the force. She blocked his blows as she got to her feet and swung on him but she missed as he ducked. The two did battle for several more minutes and it looked like she was going to win. The Sith was attacking her with too much intensity, she had evaded every thing he sent her way. He was getting tired and saw her moment to strike, she spun around him and thrusted her saber into his back. The Sith fell but somehow healed himself rose again. He kicked her in the face and slashed at her leg as she went down.

Aria saw large amounts of blood leaving the wound that he had given her. She tired to heal herself but something was wrong, her force powers seemed to be gone.

"This can't be happening" she thought.

"Come with us or die Exile" He said.

Just he was about to speak again a yellow blade came threw his chest.

The Sith Lord fell to the ground as Bastila turned off her lightsaber.

"Are you ok?"

Aria shook her head. "I think he drained me of my force energy. I can hardly move,"

Bastila healed her so she could walk. Aria got to her feet and ran for the ship.

Bastila turned around to several hundred Sith troops charged her.

She ignited her double bladed saber and attacked them.

She cut some down with ease as they came at her. She sent some flying as she force pushed several of them. She deflected blaster shots and sent force lighting at the others. Before she knew there was less then fifty of them around her. She closed her eyes and began to concentrate her energy.

Atton and Mira looked as they saw bastila taking several shots to the chest, but she didn't seem to be harmed at all.

"How the hell is she doing that?" Atton asked aloud.

"I don't know, thats something i have never seen before,"

They began to feel the ground shake as an earthquake was happening. The ground began to split as soldiers and Sith Lords fell through the cracks.

Bastila opened her eyes and threw her saber and struck down the last of the soldiers.

She ran over to the others. "Get in the ship and prep it for launch, I'm going to find Jaden,"

"We thought he was with you," Jolee said.

Bastila looed at her old friend. "We got seperated on the way over her. I don't know what happened to him or where he is,"

"Then I'll go with you," Brianna said.

"Be careful, we don't how many more Sith could be out there," Mical said.

The two of them nodded and headed off into the darkness.

"I hope they make it back," Mission said.

Jaden was running through the fields as several Sith Lords were chasing him. He had been using the force to increase his speed but the Sith behind him were catching up. He saw a large ship up ahead and watched as several Troopers fired shots at him. He stopped and turned them back on them and the Sith fell. He turned around and slashed low and one of the Sith fell to the ground as his legs went in another direction. The next two came at him blades raised high, he locked blades with them and pushed them away. He force pushed one to the ground and attacked the other. Jaden had been a master a saber combat but this Sith was also.

Many of the Jedi he trained knew how to fight him in combat and he figured that this was one of Jedi he had trained all those years ago. His attacks came with a power that Jaden hadn't witnessed since the Mandalorian Wars. The Sith was very quick and had Jaden on the defensive as they battled in the fields. He made several attempts to strike down his enemy but none prevailed. The Sith had tired Jaden to the point wer he was now using the force to stay on his feet.

"Don't give up brother, I can feel you still. This is Darth Fury, Veon trained him years ago before he betrayed you. Use the Makashi form against him,"

Jaden felt shocked for a moment to hear his brothers voice but he had to focus on the battle. He flipped over the Sith and blocked a attack from behind. He began to do as Revan said to do. He began to channel his energy and became faster.

Fury tried keeping his eyes on Jaden but it wasn't working. Jaden had become a blur, he tried attacking him but it he was either wounded or knocked away. He had been wounded in several places of his body but he used his anger to stay alive.

"Use your hate my apprentice, its the only way you defeat him. He is weak and has always been weak. use the Juyo form and take him out now. We have no need for him,"

Fury listened to the words of his master and ignited his second blade. Now he had two sabers to Jaden's one.

Jaden looked at Fury and attacked harder. He slashed a few times at his mid section but Fury was doing a good job of keeping his blade at bay.

"He is guarding his upper body, go for the legs,"

Jaden locked blades with Fury knocked one of his sabers out of his hands. He pulled it to him and threw it at him.

Fury swung and sent the saber sailing away but just as he did that Jaden was on him fast. He blocked a few attacks but Jaden was too fast, he punched him in the face hoping to slow him down but it didn't seem to phase him.

Jaden had been listening to Revan the whole time he was fighting Fury. He felt an enormous power flow through him like had never felt before.

"Now go for his legs he is too weak to stop you,"

Jaden swung low and heard a loud cry. He did a full spin on him and came back around beheaded him.

He looked at the body. He had cut off his legs and head.

He thought he heard footsteps behind him and turned around.

Bastila and Brianna were walking towards him.

Bastila looked at the body and then back to him. "You seem to be able to handle yourself in any situation,"

Jaden nodded.

"We need to get to the ship now before we get attacked again," Brianna warned them.

They ran back to the ship and got aboard.

"Atton get us the hell out of here," Mission said sitting in the copilots seat.

The ship lifted off the ground and they went into space.

"Oh shit this is bad,"

"Whats wrong?"

"The damn hyperdrive is gone!" He said.

"Wait what do you by gone?"

"I mean that its not responding,"

"Damn, thats wonderful,"

"Bao Dur get up here" he yelled through the comm.

Bao came in the cockpit and looked at what Atton was talking about.

"I'll go see what I can do" he said.

"Well hurry, From the way things are looking that Fleet is moving there fleet to this side of the planet,"

"Hold on space cowboy were getting a message from someone," Mission said.

She patched it through to the main holds holo projector.

In the main hold the rest of the crew stood and looked at carth Onasi.

"Bastila we are about to come out of hyperspace. What is your situation?"

Bastila began to wonder how Carth knew they were here but she had no time to think about that.

"We just escaped the Sith on The suface and our hyperdrive isn't working,"

Carth's face showed concern. "Land in the hanger bay on the Raven. I'll get my men to fix it,"

"Hurry Carth, the Sith are closing in on us,"

*********

Darth veon Stood on the bridge to his FlagShip angry.

His apprentice was killed, he men didn't capture any of the Jedi and he was in no mood to try and make another attempt. He turned to the Admiral and looked at him.

"Connet me to my apprentice, I need to speak to her,"

"Yes my lord at once," he responded.

Within moments Jadis appreared before.

"What is it my master?"

"Get off the Sojourn now, my men have failed to do what I asked. I need you to go track down a certain bounty hunter. I'm send you the information now, once you find him have him hunt the Exile and her companions,"

"As you wish my master, I am leaving the ship now,"

********************** end of part 1

Chapter 5- Part II- The Savior Returns

Jaden stood next to his brother in the Trayus Academy. They had came here one last time before Revan would leave so he could be with his brother alone.

"When I leave I need you to watch out for Kira. She won't understand the reason why I have left, I have her working under cover still but it won't be long before she tracks down Veon,"

Jaden looked at his brother. "Rev we really need you here, You just saved the Republic from destruction again and once again your leaving. Without me, without your men and most of all without Bastila,"

Revan looked at his brother. They had been through so many things together, had traveled the galaxy and fought side by side. Their was no one else that Revan trusted more then Jaden, If it wasn't for him then everything that they had done would've been for nothing.

"Jaden this time its different, allot of my memories have returned and now I know why I became the Dark Lord. i didn't embrace the darkside so I could overthrow the Republic, i did it to save the Republic,"

Jaden looked at his brother with a curious look. "Your gonna have to explain this to me so I at least can understand. You sort of lied to everyone else about why you left, Don't lie to me!"

Revan looked at his brother, he knew that it would come to this and he knew that someone had to know why he was leaving.

"I think that the Sith, the True Sith are planning to attack the Republic. When they do it will be worse then what the Mandalorians did. They will take over the galaxy and force knows what else. I have to do something to stop them, there are planets within the unknown regions that I left outposts on. I have to go and secure those outposts,"

"What happenes if you don't return?" Jaden asked.

Revan hated to answer that question because he truly didn't have any answer.

"If I'm not back in five years I want you to come and find me. While I am gone I need for you to make sure that the Jedi Order is intact. We are going to need all the help we can get,"

"Rev you know just as well as me that if the council didn't believe that we were suppose to be involved with the Mandalorians than you know what they will say about this,"

"Thats just it, I don't want the council to know why I left. Your not in the order anymore anyways so why should they know?" Revan asked.

"Because you know damn well your not gonna comeback in five years. I know i'm gonna end up having to come after you. Trust me Rev, the Jedi will find out about all of this,"

Revan turned back around to his brother as they made it to the core.

"From what my feelings tell me there might not be a Jedi Council in five years. You watch and see, I have never been wrong about these things,"

Jaden nodded as they came up to a hood woman in dark robes.

"Is everything prepared?" she asked.

"Yes Kreia everything is ready, I'm leaving the Ebon hawk here with you. Jaden has his ship and I am leaving in my own transport,"

"Very well,Be careful my old apprentice. The unknown regions are full of surprises," kreia said.

Revan turned back to Jaden.

"The last planet i will be going to is Prestine, its just at the edge of the unknown regions and Republic space. I also want you to do one more things while I am gone,"

"Whats that?"

"Find Aria, I don't think that she is to far gone from the force to have her connection restored,"

"Thats what I was planning on doing," Jaden said.

Revan nodded, he was trying to find the words to say to his brother but he couldn't think how to say them.

"Jaden whatever happens, I just want you to know that I couldn't have made it this far without you,"

Jaden looked at Revan and smiled.

"Its because of you that we have done what we have for the galaxy,"

Revan turned and walked away to a door that led to the hanger bay. The door opened and he turned to look at Jaden one last time.

"May the force be with you Jaden,"

Jaden looked up at him.

"May the force be with you also Revan. Be safe,"

He woke up from his dream and rolled out the bed. He was so used to having someone in the bed with him but after nearly six years of being alone he had gotten used to it.

"T4, go to the hanger bay and ready the ship. Were leaving in an hour," he said.

The little droid went out the room beeping as he went.

He put on his robes and walked out of the room making sure he didn't leave anything.

He put his hood on so as to make sure no one would recognize him. He walked into the cantina and got him some jawa juice.

It had been so long since he had been to this cantina that he had forgotten what they had on their menu. He scrolled his eyes up and down the menu thinking of what he wanted. He saw a waitress come over to his table. She was a nice young woman with light skin.

"So what can I get for you today sir?"

"How many times have I told you that you don't have to call me sir," He said smiling at her.

"Many times and I'm sure it won't be the last time sir," She said to him.

"Good, but I think I'll just have some eggs and toast with some more jawa juice,"

"You should have just said the usual," she said walking away.

He smiled at her as she went. He had been seeing her everyday since he came back to this planet. Onderon was such a good place to lay low at, here no one could find him and involve him in anything.

He rubbed his neck for a minute and began to think about his dream. He didn't know why he had dreamt about his brother or his sister, but there was a reason. Today had made it six years since he had left everyone, he had heard allot of things since he had comeback into Republic space. He had heard that the Jedi had been all but killed and wiped out, the Exile had returned and helped liberate the planet and now he was hearing that The Jedi Order was being rebuilt.

He looked up to see the waitress bring him his food.

"Thanks,"

"No problem," she said walking away.

He looked back at the table to see a note next to his plate. He picked it up and looked at it.

"Meet me in the merchant quarter as soon as you can. I will find you when you get their"

He looked around to make sure nobody noticed him and got up and left out the cantina.

He went straight to the merchant quater and stood by a small market place. He didn't know who was going to find him here which made him wonder if it was a set up to kill him. No one knew he was back in Republic space. His mind was going in every direction trying to figure out what was going when a slender figure dressed like a Jedi robes blocked the sunlight.

"Hello Revan,"

He looked up to see a purple Twi'lek standing in front of him.

He took her over to a area where nobody was.

"Don't say my name in public like that, I don't want anyone to know I am here,"

"There are some who already know your here. I have come to get you out of here before they find you and take you,"

Revan looked at her strangely. "What makes you think that someone really can challenge me, I have been looking after myself for six years with no help,"

"Damn I didn't think you were still that arrogant. I can't believe you don't remember me,"

Revan looked at the woman trying to see if he could figure out how he knew her.

"Whats your name?"

"My name is Lorena, you had me accompany Aria Jace Dxun. I never made it back from the mission as you had asked me to go and scout out several worlds that the Mandalorians had taken captive,"

Revan looked into the womans eyes and instantly he remembered her.

"So then what happened to you after the wars, didn't you turn to the dark side?"

Lorena shook her head.

"You had me leave along with Jaden when you sent out Dark Hand to kill the Jedi Council, but we all know how that went down,"

Revan looked at her and nodded his head in regret as he thought about Veon's betrayal to Jaden.

"So why have you come looking for me anyway?"

Lorena looked at him. "It wasn't really to hard to find you anyways, but someone said they had seen you recently and I just wanted to see if it was true,"

"Who told you that I was here?"

Lorena paused for a minute.

"It can't be that hard to tell me,"

Lorena answered him.

"Darth Traya,"
