Begin Chapter 9 (Tables Turn )
Revan and Alec had been in hyperspace for two days now. In that time Alec had made dozens of modifications to the Mandolore's private ship the "Infiltrator" . They had upgraded the weapons systems and modified the engine drives for faster speeds along with many other things. By Revan's guess they could be arriving at the coordinates for DromuundKas any moment now. Now he was sitting in his private room. As he sat cross legged before the small red holocron he listened to everything it told him. It seemed as though this Sith…Darth Veneto had spent years pouring knowledge into this holocron. The more he listened to it the more he felt that his very point of view on the force was wrong. He was starting to feel that light and dark sides were only two halves of a whole. He promised himself he would never truly worship the dark side, but on the same hand he also studied everything he could without alerting Alec of his hidden practices. After two days of hiding in his room studying Veneto's teachings he almost felt as though his understanding of the force had increased more than it ever had during his time as Quinlan Voss's apprentice. In his studying he even heard the holocron mention it was possible to contain power, the force itself within an object. This had greatly interested Revan as that alone opened hundreds of new force powers if it were true. His decision to keep the holocron hidden from Alec had been difficult at first but as time went by he found that Alec lost interest in whatever Revan had. Revan longed to test many of the things he had learned from this holocron but he knew it was too dangerous to do. He didn't know how to contain them. The holocron had at one point shown him how to unlock a massive amount of power, in order to unlock it though Revan had been required to let his emotions flow instead of hold them back like he was trained to as a Jedi. He had been hesitant at first but once he let them flow he almost immediately felt easily three times stronger than he ever had before. Alec had sensed this and asked Revan what was going on but he had just lied and told him he was meditating. Lying to Alec bothered him but Revan wanted to understand everything about his holocron before risking Alec's safety with it. Revan comlink buzzed with Alec's voice said "Hey Revan were coming out of hyperspace, you better get up here"
Revan replied by saying "be right there"
Revan quickly hid the holocron in his pocket then went over to his closet and opened it. Inside lay his light saber and his fallen master's as well as the two black hilted blades he had taken from the Mandolore. Above the blades hung a suit of light mandolorian amour that Revan had painted black. A short poncho hung to the side. Revan pulled the amour and poncho on then hung his master's blade and his at his side. The he picked up the black blades and hooked the hilts onto the clips he had stitched into the poncho. Once their they would not be seen by enemies and could be used if he somehow lost his light sabers. Revan had insisted that Alec bring a similar poncho and hang a blade in it as well just in case. Alec had agreed and quickly found a white blade that he liked and had carried it since. After suiting up he reached down to his desk grabbed the helmet of the fallen Mandolore. Putting it under his arm he walked out of his room and up to the cockpit. He arrived in the cockpit just in time to peel the ship lurch and see the streaks of stars shrink away. Before them lay a bright red planet with clouds and lightning flickering everywhere. They quickly flew into a very large spaceport and landed.
As Revan and Alec walked down the landing ramp and stepped onto the sith planet the first thing they noticed was the vast amount of force energy linked to this planet. Revan normally would have felt alive at the feeling of such a strong link to the force but his joy quickly faded when he realized that all the energy on the planet belonged to the dark side. There was no light side here, only dark. Even now Revan could feel it trying to eat away all the light within him. Off in the distance by the exit of the spaceport Revan saw a tall hooded figure with a long light saber hilt strapped to his side. Next to him stood a shorter hood figure, Revan could tell that she was a female but her face was hidden. He assumed she was his apprentice. The sight of these two for some reason seemed to enrage him, as he started to move towards them and short fat man walked up to him and started to say "Hey you can't be her-" before Revan cut him off by lifting him off his feet with the force and throwing him across the platform by his neck, he collided with the wall with a painful sounding crack. Revan strode over to the hooded figure and with a harsh tone said "Are you Darth Veneto?" The figure nodded slowly and then said "follow me and I will answer all your questions." He then looked at Revan's blades and said "oh and you will have to give your blades to my apprentice. We can't have you losing your cool and killing anyone….yet"
Revan and Alec handed over their blades but secretly kept their mandolorian swords hidden for later. They followed Veneto to a giant building that Revan guessed was a sith temple, he was about to ask when Veneto said "No it is my private estate." As they walked into the estate he first noticed slaves everywhere working then noticed how much money the sith lord truly had at his fingertips.
They came to a large open sitting room, Veneto took a seat in his chair that sat at the far end of the room. the chair more resembled a throne than a chair though as it was elegant and sat higher than everyone in the room. From where he sat a shadow was cast over his face, effectively keeping it hidden from Revan and Alec's view.
The sith lord looked down at Revan and said, "I know you have questions but before we begin, your friend must be dealt with." At those words a dart appeared in Alec's neck and he crumpled to the floor. The sith lord then said, "Apprentice " and gestured to Revan's fallen friend. She pressed reached out and lifted his body with the force and carried him out of the room. After she left the room Veneto looked down to Revan and asked, "Now what is it you wish me to answer?"
Revan stood there full of anger and guilt at what had happened to his friend at the dark lords words he looked up to him and asked, "Why do I have the nightmares? Why do they haunt me and what do they mean."
Veneto chuckled and replied, "They are not nightmares, they are visions. If I recall correctly you told the Jedi council about the mask in your visions yes? Then found it with that mandolorian. You dream of fallen Jedi and a cloaked figure surrounded by them? " When Revan nodded he continued, "They are visions of your destiny, you will become a sith lord and you will bring down both the Jedi and the republic.
"You lie" Replied Revan in a desperate attempt to deny what he had heard. This was what he feared the sith lord would tell him. "If I am destined to become this monster, than why did the Jedi train me? Surely they must have known this."
"Ah," The dark lord replied "They knew this whole time and were hiding this from you, they hoped they could change this fate and avert the prophecy of the dark side."
"What prophecy?" Revan questioned.
"The Prophecy of the SithAri. The chosen warrior of the dark side, he who will be the very embodiment of all our power and wisdom and destroy all our enemies. " Said Veneto coldly.
"So you mean to tell me that everything I knew as a Jedi and all my friends were lies, all to avert some dark prophecy?" He asked as all hope left him. When the dark lord nodded yes Revan felt a surge of rage flow through him, rage at the Jedi for lying to him for his whole life…rage at the loss of his best friend Alec…..anger for all who he had fought for blindly…he felt a rising desire to kill every Jedi in the order….As he fell to his knees a scream of pure rage left his lips, for everything he had fought for, everything he had lost and all he had once loved….
