A/N: Hi all another chapter here and I have to say I'm glad so many of you like this story just know that I've run out of chapters and that it take a while to write them at the moment, writers block and life keeps on getting in the way but don't worry I won't abandon any of my stories. Anyway enjoy the new chapter of Raven's Rise.

Chapter 9: Dantooine and Deals.

The next few hours passed with everyone getting settled in to their rooms as it would be over a day before they got to Dantooine, Hawk however seemed quite happy to be sitting up on the bridge while HK was down in the cargo bay working on the fighter blaster he had used to save there lives when running from the Sith.

Raven found herself standing before the door closest to Hawk's room going by the captains wings on the door next to the one she was looking at, something deep inside herself said she had to take this room as if she had been here before but she know that she hadn't.

Reaching for the door controls she stopped when Mission came up behind her saying softly so that Bastila who was down the other end of the hallway wouldn't hear, "Say Raven could I bunk with you instead of with her? I promise that I'll leave you alone when you want to be left alone just don't have me bunk up with her."

"Sure I don't see why not." Raven says opening the door a moment later the sight of a well looked after room being what greeted them, the single bed had fine sheets made from the finest cloth and along the wall was pictures some of them showing herself in Jedi robes and a lot younger. "What in the name of the Force?" She whispers softly stepping into the room pausing at a picture of herself with a young man with messy black hair and full beard.

Bastila hearing Raven exclaim quickly moved down to the door and stopped dead at the sight of the room as she had seen it a few times before back when she had been with Raven and Harry for a few weeks and Raven had patched her up after a very brutal match against Harry, "I think this room is taken why don't you two look for another room." She whispers softly as this one room had clearly stated that this was Harry's ship and he was still the captain.

"But that's me." Raven says taking a half step towards the picture only to be pulled back by Bastila nether of them noticing Mission slip one of the pictures into her vest so that she and her new friend could work this problem out later.

"I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this woman looks like you, why don't you two take this room." Bastila says pushing them both into the room across the way quickly getting back to the other room that Raven had opened first and seals the door whispering softly, "I won't let her fall again or remember her fall no matter what."

"Then you are just a puppet to those fools." Came a softly voice as Bastila spun around in time to see the captains door close only catching a glimpse of Harry's cloak as the door fully closed.

Bastila watched the door for a moment before quickly moving down to the cargo hold to meditate as she didn't think she could get the quiet she would need in the living quarters area of the ship as it was clear that Canderous snored loudly.

HK looked up when Bastila walked into his workshop as he like to call the cargo hold; he regarded the Jedi Padawan for a moment as she knelt down to one side her Staffsaber resting on her knees as she went into a meditative state, he says all of a sudden breaking her mediations, "Statement: Master Harry has stated that you are not allowed to mediate here in this area of the ship, puppet."

"I'll do this were ever I wish droid." Bastila says sharply looking at the red droid who's body was facing the heavy blaster he had used back on Taris his head turned to face her the glow of his eyes seemed to grow darker at her words.

"Sharp Comeback: You will do as you're told on this ship Meat Bag until the Master has her memories restored or Master Harry says otherwise." HK's body turning to face Bastila fully now as he started to march over to her, "Statement: You may do as you wish in your chambers on board or the meeting room but not here now leave."

Bastila reached for her sabre staff only to stop dead when HK raised a hand up a section popping up to show a heavy flamer attached there a shield also snapping into place, deciding not to pick a fight with the droid for the moment she slowly got to her feet and left the room taking up a spot to one side of the meeting room the others leaving her alone as she looked to be in a bad mood.


While Bastila had been fighting with HK, Mission and Raven were setting down in the room they had been pushed into and Mission had pulled the picture out to see that it was one of Raven and the unknown man standing over the remains of a large base both of them in Republic armour and looked to have just finished fighting on a jungle like world, the two of them were just sitting on a rock over looking the smoking remains of a base the two of them looking to be just watching the view yet leaning into each other for support.

"This looks like you but how can that be as we might have just met but you don't have the look of a Jedi about you and this image clearly shows two Lightsabers on her hips here." Mission says pointing to the two sabres on the hips of the Raven in the picture.

"But I didn't fight in any wars of late, I've only just joined the Republic as a scout… or that is what my memory says." Raven says a brief talk with Carth down on Taris coming to mind were he had said that the Force could do horrible things like erase someone's mind and let the Jedi put a new memory in its place. 'Could that be what happened to me? But I remember growing up with parents and my first date, not to mention the fact that I remember joining the Republic as a scout not to long ago.' She thought to herself not realizing that the Captain of the ship could feel her struggle with the images that had spurn to life in her mind and wished that he could help but he couldn't yet.

"Maybe you have a twin who had fought in those wars and you just didn't know about her." Mission says looking at the image closely before looking up at Raven who just nods slowly before going to lay down as she wanted to think on this matter some more Mission getting the message and going to bed herself.


The day long trip passed quickly as everyone just sat back and relaxed for a little while, Bastila watching when ever Harry came through the room but didn't say anything as she didn't know if he had replaced the four sabres that Master Vrook and Kavar had cut up on him although it had been over a year since that fight so chances were he had and had only improved his skill even more.

Carth spent most of his time in the co-pilots seat watching all the systems and making sure that nothing was following them, HK had finished working on his weapons and was now standing to one side of the meeting room powered down although when ever anyone entered the room the lenses of his eyes would light up a little only to shut down again when he saw who had entered.

T3 seemed to have taken into his programme to run repairs on anything on the ship so far fixing up a number of unstable power couplings to the hyper drive, Mission and Zaalbar either sleeping or playing a few games of cards while Bastila meditated and Raven slept or thought over her life and what may be true and what could be a lie, Canderous seemed to be the only one to really relax only being seen for meals or to clean his weapons.

Harry seemed to spend most of his time in this cabin or on the bridge making sure everything was working fine and that the course hadn't been changed, every time he went passed the room that Raven was in he had to stop himself from going to her and explaining everything to her just as he had to stop himself from taking Bastila and showing her how corrupted the council had become when he walked past her.

Carth looked up when a red light started flashing the ship coming out of hyper speed a moment later the planet Dantooine coming into view a few seconds after that, "Hey, we are here people." He called out over his shoulder the few still awake giving a shout that they heard him and were going to let the others know.

Harry came onto the bridge a few minutes later adjusting his cloak hood as he goes saying calmly while taking up the main pilot seat, "Signalling the Jedi Enclave down on the surface for landing clearances and setting approach, everyone fair warning there's a storm front over the enclave so be ready for a slightly rough landing." He called out the last few words to everyone in back.

Carth strapped himself in as the ship started to land after the enclave had given the all clear, he watched calmly as the ship broke the cloud cover over the enclave and came in to land a moment later Bastila quickly moving to the exit ramp not long after the ship touched down, her voice sounding from the cargo hold that she wanted to get off now and take Raven with her because of the dreams they had been sharing as of late.

Harry just watched as both ladies left the ship saying calmly to Carth and the others who had come up to the bridge, "Well I need to re-supply and get some parts to finish fixing up this old girl from running that Sith blockade a few weeks ago, but you lot can leave when ever you wish and do come back if you need another ride some where as I won't be going anywhere until I'm set."

Everyone nodded at this and started for the exit ramp wanting to get some things and to see if they could sort out a place to stay while here in the Enclave, HK walked off the ship to take a look over most of the external panels.

A few hours later found Harry setting back in his seat in his cabin his head bowed as he read over everything he would need to get the Tigress built up to full specks, pausing mid word he looked up at the door to his room and says calmly, "Do come in Master Zhar Padawan Bastila… do lets get this over with."

Zhar opened the door and stepped into the room as he looked down at his former Padawan and couldn't help but feel sorry for the young man who carried to many scars for one so young, Bastila just narrowed her eyes at the exiled Jedi who shouldn't even be allowed to land in this Enclave unless he was willing to face the council and their judgment.

"Ah Master Zhar, how nice to see you again, sorry to say I wont be pulling my hood all the way down but I have a number of scars I'm not proud of and I wouldn't want to upset you any more then I have to." Harry says softly pushing his hood back enough so that both Master and Padawan could see the replaced metal bone of the left side of his jaw and the scars around the metal just visible the metal looking to be polished not to long ago.

"Understandable my former Padawan and I must say you have only grown stronger in the Force since I have last seen you and I since despite what Master Vrook and Padawan Bastila says, I sense no darkness within you." Zhar says calmly taking the only other chair in the room on the other side of Harry's desk, his eyes sweeping over the room for a few moments making a note of the bed and how it looked to haven't been slept in for days going by the thin layer of dust over it.

"WHAT! Master Zhar how can you say that when every Master on the council has sensed the darkness coming from this man." Bastila says sharply looking down at the male Twi'lek who just looked at her before waving off her words.

"The council for some time has been blind to many things unlike me Padawan, you will have to learn how to think for yourself which is how I taught all of my Padawans, Knight Harry here is no more fallen to the Dark then I have, and Raven had only fallen because she wasn't able to let go of her grief for the loss of her unborn child and Harry was unable to get her to face that pain, a pain that any mother would have trouble facing." Zhar says sharply back to Bastila to see Harry bow his head at this information.

"That's another thing, those two should be locked up for breaking the councils rules and becoming lovers and even had a child together." Bastila says only to go silent and not move an inch when a single violet blade comes to a stop next to her neck another three sabre hilts coming up to hover around Harry's head.

"The rules need to be changed, the council is of no use against what Raven and myself have faced beyond the rim… she suffered three weeks of torture under those monsters hands three weeks of grief over the loss of our daughter and when HK and myself saved her she buried her grief and never let it out so don't you dare speak down to me and her about our love or I swear I'll remove that head of yours and place it on a pike as warning for the next hundred years to others about obeying blindly."

"Harry do calm down, she didn't mean anything by it and I agree the council needs to change as I was one of the few to object to her mind being wiped and a new memory put in its place," Zhar says calmly regarding the hovering blade for a moment before saying with a small smile, "You have also improved in the skills needed to control your floating blades I'm impressed."

"When your life depends on your skill you have no choice but to improve." Harry says the blade returning to his side a moment later his eyes locking with Bastila's as he says sharply to her, "Know that I will restore her mind and memories soon enough and know that that group of old fossils who call themselves the council at the moment will be replaced and a new order will be made to help fight the True Sith."

"The…" Bastila started to say but was cut off by Harry.

"I have already crippled two of the members and the most skilled of them all at that, Atris and Zez-Kai Ell as will as Lonna Vash are the biggest threats to my plans at the moment and even then Atris is no match for me and Zez-Kai I know how to counter all of his moves the same for Lonna." Harry finishes with a happy little smile as he says calmly looking right at Bastila, "How is Master Vrook? I have sensed him in the enclave after all and I would love to know how he is doing."

Bastila just snarled and stormed off Harry giving a smile and says calmly to Zhar, "Twenty credits say she gone to get Master Vrook so that he can have revenge on me."

"No bet." Zhar says calmly sighing as he looks at Harry, "I have to say that that girl is a puppet to there rules, and I fear that in fighting the evil of the dark side most of the council has fallen to it without noticing."

"That is true and as much as I'm going to hate it I will take down the whole council and make a new one if I have to, one that I hope you will be part of." Harry says looking at his old Master Zhar looking a little surprised at his words but didn't say anything other than to wave him to continue, "My main plan and the one that Raven and I was working towards before they took her was to overthrow the council and install a new one that would be ready to fight yet also be peacekeepers of the Republic unlike what it is now as all they care about is there own hides."

"I have to agree with you on that Harry… and I am willing to do what is needed to save the Republic even if it's from them selves." Zhar says calmly getting to his feet and calmly moving to look over some of the pictures on the walls saying to him as he looks. "Of course for this plan to work of yours there has to be no Sith influences within the Republic while the new council gets settled and regains control."

"I already have someone taking care of that and she is even gathering new people to be trained in the Jedi arts as Malak the fool is weakening the Republic were Raven and I was strengthen it, after all the battle reports I have been able to get state that the death total has multiplied by more than five hasn't it since he took over."

"Indeed it has yet the council still thinks that if they can restore the part of Raven's mind that deals with how he is building his fleets so fast they can win… the problem is there isn't going to be anything left at the way things are going now, which is why they are going to unlock the small part of her mind that deals with basic Jedi training and hope that that will lead them to what ever it is that Malak is using." Zhar says turning to face Harry who nods at this.

"Indeed and with me witling at the blocks with our connection through the Force she will be back to normal in little to no time." He paused here as smiles saying calmly when he felt something through the Force that could only be called blind rage, "Jedi Master Zhar leader of this Enclave may I use your training room for the coming match… I think Master Vrook wants an arm for an arm."

"I'll do one better in my eyes and the eyes of all Jedi save those in the council you will be reinstated as a Jedi Knight and will be allowed to walk in any Jedi complex save the main temple which I have a feeling wont be long before you take care of that one little problem, all I want in return for this is that you don't kill him, disable is fine but no deaths within my walls." Zhar says hearing the sound of stomping feet coming towards the door a moment later.

"Deal." Harry says calmly getting to his feet while the four sabres that had been circling his head went down to the table top a small smile on his face as he says to Zhar at the same time a loud pounding come from the door "I'll even take him on with only two blades."

Harry just watched the door for a few seconds before finally opening it by pushing a button on his desk Master Vrook one arm now a silver colour came storming in a moment later Bastila a step behind him a smug look on her face as Vrook started to nearly scream at Harry, "Exile Potter you are to come with me at once to face judgment of the council and all of your things are to be taken, fail to compile will result in your death."

"I invoke the challenge of proof on you Master Vrook." Harry says to his words a moment later bringing a hand up to rub the metal that was showing on the left side of his jaw Master Zhar gave a small nod at Harry's words as by saying that Master Vrook would be able to set the rules but Harry got to choose the location as this duel was to try and prove that Harry had fallen to the Dark side.

"What! You can't do that." Vrook says back sharply going for his Lightsaber only to stop when Zhar clears his throat.

"He can Master Vrook and as a witness I have to enforce it, as he challenged you, you get to set the rules but he picks location, should you be defeated in combat then Exile Potter will be able to take his rank once again of Knight." Zhar says calmly moving to stand between Harry and Vrook the old man narrowing his eyes at this little fact as he was hoping to avoid another fight with Harry.

Bastila looked on in surprise that someone who had fallen so far would challenge a master who could set the rules and as such stake the match in his favour calmly stand there and just watching them both with an evil looking smile on his face as he waited for the Masters rules.

"Very well, no use of the Force and only a maximum of two Lightsabers are to be active at any given time." Vrook says after a few moments of thought, by setting the rules in this fashion he knew in his mind that he would win after all Harry couldn't us his six blade technique without the force and even if he could he wouldn't be allowed to activate two at a time something he could easily keep up with.

"Deal, the location is to be on top of the burial mound outside of the Enclave within the hour." Harry says the smile still in place as he saw the look of surprise on Vrook's and Bastila's faces over his choice of location, "You would have had to head there soon enough as your first clue to Malak's strength is there anyway."

Bastila was about to say something to that but Zhar calmly says cutting her off, "The rules and location has been set as has the time, so now following the rules you Master Vrook and Padawan Bastila must leave until the time of the challenge where I will escort Exile Potter to the sight, see you both there." He says looking them both in the eye clearly saying they had to leave now.

Both Master and Padawan just looked at the two people on the other side of the room before storming off Harry only nodding and saying calmly "I should be getting ready for this match so I'll see you at the exit ramp in about forty minutes give or take."

"I look forward to seeing how you have improved my former Padawan and I think it might be a good learning experience for most of the Students here." Zhar says muttering the last few words to himself Harry just smiling as he knows there would be a large group to watch the coming match.


Harry calmly sat down on a rock on top of the burial mound an hour later eyes closed while he let his senses reach out and feel anyone and everything that approached the sight a small smile forming on his face at the number of people he could feel gathering around to watch the match.

HK calmly walked up behind his master after having escorted Raven and the others to the sight his cold eyes looking around for a moment the lenses seemed to narrow a little at the sight of Master Vrook standing on the other side of the ring of people forming up around the base of the mound Harry on one side and Vrook on the other the mound being low enough for them to see each other over the highest point.

"Statement: Master the meat bag is here and looks to be ready for a fight… may I blast him now?" HK asks calmly looking at Vrook who didn't seem to pay the droid any mind, HK wishing to get the order to kill this man as he clearly thought he could take the droid yet he didn't know all of HK's little surprises.

"No HK, this one is mine." Harry says calmly getting to his feet and walking over to stand in the middle of mound looking down at Vrook as he calmly started to move to meet him, Harry calmly taking up the four sabres that he normal used with the Force to make up his sixth blade style, holding them up for Vrook to see he throws them over at HK saying as he goes, "HK look after those for me… I shouldn't take long to finish this."

"Bored Comment: Very well Master, I will look after your weapons again." HK says sounding very bored at the job that Harry had given him calmly moving to stand with Raven and the others.

"Does he even stand a chance against a Master Jedi?" Raven asks softly looking at the young man who looked to be in good shape for a man to have gone through two wars so far and taken enough injures that would bring down a normal soldier.

"Oh my former Padawan would be a Master by now if not for the council and they hadn't exiled him for some trumped up reason of disobeying them in regards to the Mandalorian war which he only fought in because as he understood the code he was to fight in to protect the innocent." Zhar says calmly next to Raven saying a moment later to her softly, "If you get done with the basics quickly he could become your first master."

Raven gave a small nod at this and watched as Harry and Vrook both started to circle each other Harry's two silver blades looking to be almost invisible from a distance and the afternoon light while Vrook's single green blade standing out much better in the overcast skies.

"Now then let see if my so called waring ways have made me weak like you and the council claimed." Harry says moving forward in a fluent motion one blade leading the way while the other one was kept close to block any return attacks Vrook going on the defensive within a few seconds of the fight starting.

"They did make you weak, you have fallen to the Dark side and now I have to stop you." Vrook says taking a half step back from Harry and then going on the attack, Harry smoothly blocking all the attacks although he did struggle a little from the higher strength of using two hands on a single hilt to his single hand hilt.

"That's just it you see the Dark side in everything that isn't approved by the council." Harry says ducking under the swinging green blade and coming up one of his blades taking Vrook in the metal arm but not doing any major damage yet jumping back in time to avoid losing his head how ever, "I have not nor will I ever fall to the Darkness, I fought in that war to save the innocent that the council was willing to let die on the rim and all for an enemy that wouldn't move until the Mandalorians had started to bomb the temple on Coruscent."

"You act without knowing what your actions will do to those around you and as such the others to join your march fell to the darkness and now can only live through war." Vrook snarls out pressing his attack only to get more annoyed as Harry kept on blocking all of his attacks.

Giving a sigh Harry dropped down to one knee to avoid a hit that would have taken his head off normal he thrust forward with both blades but Vrook blocked one of the blades and stepped sidewise to avoid the other one, "You are a fool, and as such it is time to open your eyes." Harry whispers ever so softly very few hearing these words as he lashed out with both blades cutting Master Vrook once again on the robotic arm but the green blade blocking most of the strike how ever the other blade came in and come to a stop at the old mans hip.

"Impossible, Master Vrook is a member of the council and can't be beaten with just a Lightsaber." Bastila says as her image of the council was shattered before her eyes Harry down on one knee while looking up from under the bangs of his hair at the shocked Master.

"That is not a Jedi sanctioned move." Vrook says not moving as he could feel the heat from the blade near his hip the other one sitting a little into the metal of his arm.

"It's a Sith one from beyond the rim and as such this match has proven that the Jedi are not ready to face them with there current training." Harry says softly starting up and looking down at the Master now, "I believe that you have to say something now Master Vrook or do I need to take your life to for fill your end of the duel?"

Vrook narrowed his eyes but says loudly for all to hear as he was a man of his word, "I admit that the council was wrong to exile one Harry Potter and as such I hear by state that he is to be reinstated with his former rank and title for the miss deed of exile him to begin with… Welcome back Knight Potter." He almost spat the words out when calling Harry by his restored title.

"I thank you Master Vrook for this chance to prove myself to the council and that there charges were unjustified." Harry says giving a slight bow to the angry man whispering so that only he could hear, "The council will be replaced in time and know that this is the first step towards that end," Before the old man could responded to this Harry turned and started walking towards HK who calmly threw him his extra Lightsabers as he goes.

Pausing at the group who had come with him from Taris Harry smiled and bowed to the group, "It is nice to meet you all and get to say my real name again within the Republic borders." The others just looking at him as he smiles and carries on saying over his shoulder as he goes, "Your first clue is within this mound for how to take down Malak… see you back at the Enclave."

Everyone just watched him leave with HK, Zhar saying after Harry had walked from his sight, "Myself and a few other Masters will go into this mound and see what is within that led to Malak's fleet size the rest of you can head back to the Enclave."

Everyone nodding at this Raven being one of the first to head back to the Enclave an image of how Harry had attacked and finished that match flashing before her eyes for a moment only he had been fighting a man in black and grey the image vanishing as quickly as it came and as it vanished she knew that something had been done to her mind as it was happening more and more as of late, and the one question that was going through her mind being 'Who am I?'
