Chapter 9
Waking up in an empty bed Bastilla wraps a robe around her body and left the room to look for Revan.
Walking into the kitchen she finds Maitin working on breakfast. "Excuse me Maitin. Do you know where Revan is?" Bastilla asked wrapping the robe around her body even further. "He went to meet the battle fleet that is supposed to protect the planet during the war. I believe he'll be back within a few hours." Maitin responded. "Alright thank you." Bastilla said leaving the room.
In Satele's room she woke up trying to cuddle something but finding nothing. "What the!" Satele said shooting up into a sitting position. Throwing the covers off herself she found that she was still wearing what she wore the night before. "What happened?" Satele asked herself.
"Yes?" Satele asked brushing her hair in the mirror. "Can I come in?" Jackson asked from the door. "Sure. What do you want?" Satele asked looking in the mirror as he walked into the room wearing shorts and a t-shirt. "Do you mind if I sit down?" Jackson asked. Shaking her head he took his seat. "I just want to say even though I haven't known you for a longtime I've well….this isn't easy to say but I've developed feelings...for you, and I just wanted to tell you before-Mmph!" Jackson said being cut off by Satele smashing her lips against his and tackling him to the mattress. "The feeling's mutual." Satele said with a smile breaking the kiss. After that the two spent hours holding each other in the other's embrace and making out.
"I can't believe-." Satele said touching her lips with a slight blush.
"What's the situation Captain?" Revan asked walking into the ship yard. "Most of the battle fleets have already reached most of the worlds on the outer rim. They have also begun their relocation process to be able to keep any other target areas eliminated. They are also constructing forts to prepare for any fleet that comes our way. Sir." The captain said saluting him. "Good. Any transmissions?" Revan asked looking over the reports. "Yes sir. There's one from Captain Mission Vao, General Mira, General Juhani, General Atton, Supreme Commander Mandalore, Supreme Commander Zalbaar, and an unknown transmission from The Elders." The captain said rattling off the names from his data-pad. "Very well I'll be taking the transmissions privately." Revan said walking to the bridge.
Taking a seat Revan activated the holo-screen and Mission popped to life. "Hey Revan we've got the array set up and all systems are green we've picked up some chatter already but they're encrypted. T3 and I are already working on them." Mission said quickly. "Good to hear it Skywalker out." Revan said cycling through all the transmissions until he reached the Elders. "It's good to see you again Revan. We are on our way to your location. We have felt the change of the winds, and are ready to ensure the galaxies' safety." One of the Elders said saluting Revan pounding his fist on his chest. "Good to hear. I'm sending you the coordinates so we can coordinate where your warriors will go." Revan said saluting him back.
In the armory Jackson looks for equipment to use during the war. Wearing his armor without the helmet he locks on a combat knife holster to his chest piece. He picked up a D-20 light repeater and strapped it on his back. He also chose an F-50 heavy repeater. "Nice." He said with a smile.
"Captain I'll be taking leave for the rest of the day. Make sure that the relocations are complete by the end of the day." Revan said leaving the ship.
Walking into a crystal cave on the outskirts of the village Revan walked to the center of the cave and sat down to meditate. After a few moments of meditation a figure appeared in front of Revan in the same position. "It is good to see you again Revan, but I must ask why you have sought me out." The spirit of Ajunta Pall asked. "A war is brewing. And I need your help." Revan said. "Well I can't interfere with the Sith forces themselves but I can choose a sentient to herald my knowledge and skill." Ajunta said hinting at what he had suggested earlier to Revan in previous meetings. "If I do that you'll spirit will be transferred into mine and you'll cease to exist." Revan protested. "No. I'll only give you my skill and knowledge." Ajunta said with a smile.
In the Emperor's meditation chambers aboard his flag ship the Revenge he meets with an Elder Sith Lord. "What do you want whelp?" The Sith Lord Naga Sadow barked. "Watch your tone failure. I want you to aid me in defeating the republic. A feat you failed at greatly." The Emperor said snidely. "Fine. What do you wish me to do Grakellik?" Naga growled. "I want you to give me part of your essence and I want whatever's left of your pathetic life force to continue feeding my powers." The Emperor said dismissively. "And never call me that again."
"Why are you sending us to Korriban?" Satele asked he father after he had told her the mission she and Jackson were to undertake. "There was a smuggler who was attempting to take Sith artifacts out of the system. We fear that he may have been trying to smuggle the artifacts to the Empire." Revan said soothingly. "Still I don't understand why we have to do it." Satele said pouting. "Look I don't want you to have to see the full grunt of war just yet. In time you will gain the experience to deal with it. But for now I want you to keep some of your innocence." Revan said sorrowfully. "Alright. But what about my training?" "You'll be under the tutelage of Jedi Master Kato-Bach. "Alright." Satele said hugging Revan. "Good night sweetie." Revan said watching her leave.
