Chapter 10 is now up and if any of you were wondering, Revan upheld his promise and killed those two women. I just wanted to end the last chapter on a good note.
THE DEATH TOLL RISES!
AS THE BATTLES INTENSIFY, AND THREATEN A GROWING NUMBER OF REPUBLIC WORLDS, PLANETS ARE LEFT TO SURVIVE ON THEIR OWN.
WHILE THE JEDI STRUGGLE TO FIGHT A WAR ON MANY FRONTS, A SERIES OF MEDICAL STATIONS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED AS A LIFELINE FOR THOSE IN NEED, BUT THE FACILITIES ARE EASY PREY FOR SEPARATIST ATTACKS.
AFTER LOSING CONTACT WITH THE MEDICAL STATION ORBITING FELUCIA, OBI-WAN KENOBI, ANAKIN SKYWALKER, AHSOKA TANO AND REVAN ARE SENT TO INVESTIGATE...
'This last week sure hasn't been easy. Especially the conspiracy that surrounded Duchess Satine on Mandalore, along with that "Death Watch" group. Good thing Obi-Wan managed to solve that problem, granted it'll probably only be temporary. I'm just I didn't have to go, who knows what would've happened if the people of Mandalore found out who I was.' Revan shuddered at the things he managed to think of. "Are you all right?" Obi-Wan asked him. "I'm alright. Just a few mental images about what might have happened to me if i'd gone to Mandalore with you and they'd found out who I was." his master gave him a pat on shoulder as they walked onto a T-6 shuttle, with Ahsoka and Anakin prepping it.
Awhile later the shuttle came out of hyperspace near Felucia. "That's Felucia. Dead ahead." Anakin said as they got closer. "Obviously." Revan mumbled under his breath. "But where's the medical station? I don't see anything on my scanners." Ahsoka said before it started beeping. "Wait theres something. Vuture droids." she said, glaring as they got closer. "Hang on!" Anakin said as he started flying closer to the planet, trying to avoid their fire. "I guess we know what happened to the medical station." Obi-Wan mused before the thruster was suddenly blown out. The ship started to give an emergency beeping as it descended towards the planet. "That's not good!" Obi-Wan exclaimed as Anakin and Ahsoka tried stabilizing the ship. "They took out the plasma conduit!" Ahsoka exclaimed as the shuttle entered the planet's atmosphere.
'We're starting to cut it a little close now…' Revan thought, panic starting to creep into him as they were only a few hundred feet away from the surface. "You thinking what i'm thinking?" Anakin asked with a smirk. "Almost certainly not." Obi-Wan disagreed before they slipped on breath masks. "Looks like were doing this the hard way." Anakin said, slipping on his own mask. "Starting ejection sequence!" he said before pressing a few buttons as they got closer to a huge cliff. "How come every time you fly we crash?" Ahsoka wondered with an irritated tone.
"It's not my fault! It's the ship!" he shot back, as they were now dangerously close to the cliff. "Ready to eject." Ahsoka said as they grabbed the handles on the right side of their seats. "Wait!" Anakin said as they kept getting closer. "Now!" he exclaimed as they all pulled their handles and were ejected from the cockpit. Large rubber balls surrounded their seats as they started bouncing off Felucia's huge flora before stopping upright in a small clearing. Revan stepped out of his with a slight wobble of dizziness and took his mask off before Anakin start chuckling.
"You alright there, Master?" he asked Obi-Wan with smirk. Revan tossed his mask back into the round rubber pod before making his way to Ahsoka as she stepped out of hers. "I'm fine, Anakin." Obi-Wan said as he and the Knight made their way to the padawans. "Where on Felucia do you think we are?" She asked them after tossing her mask back inside the pod. The four then started walking away from the pods. "I'm not sure." Obi-Wan answered. A few minutes later they heard a growl. "I don't like the sound of that." Ahsoka said, uneasiness in her tone as they stopped walking. "And I don't like the look of that." Anakin said pointing ahead. Revan voiced what everyone one was thinking. "Shit."
Two jungle rancors walked across the path they were on, a few feet ahead of them. "We don't wanna scare 'em." Anakin warned quietly as the second rancor disappeared behind some of the planet's huge flora. "We can't just wander around aimlessly. We need a plan." Obi-Wan pointed out. "You always taught me to go on instinct and my instincts tell me to go that way." Anakin smirked, pointing towards the rancors. Obi-Wan held his chin. "No, that doesn't seem right. I think we should go this way." he said pointing in the direction the rancors came from. The two padawans smirked at each other while listening to their masters bicker.
"Why do you even ask for my opinion? You never do things my way." Anakin said to him. "We crashed the ship your way." Obi-Wan countered. Ahsoka shook her head at them, smirk still in place. "Very funny. I see your sense of humour survived the landing." Anakin said sarcastically. "It's about the only thing." Obi-Wan grumbled. "If you two are done arguing, I thin theres some smoke on the horizon." Ahsoka cut in, pointing to the plume of smoke rising ahead in the distance. "Which means people and a way off this planet." she pointed out before her and Revan started walking forward, the two older Jedi behind them.
"Look theres a village." Ahsoka said after about half an hour of walking. "Maybe they have a ship we can borrow." Anakin said as they walked into the village. "They're growing healing herbs." she noticed. "Nysillin I believe, one of the most valuable crops in the galaxy." Obi-Wan pointed out. "And a lot of it." Revan mused. "This place looks deserted." Ahsoka said as they stopped walking while Anakin folded his arms. "I don't believe it is. The crops are ready to be harvested, tools lying about. No, somethings amiss." Obi-Wan said. "Well, theres one thing I learned where I grew up. If you wanna know what a farmer's up to, look their barn." Anakin said as they walked up to the huge building.
He pressed the button on the side and the door went up. Inside their was an SS-54 assault ship. "This is an odd ship for farmers. Perhaps someones here to pick up the nysillin." Obi-Wan said. "I still don't get it, where is everyone?" Ahsoka wondered, frowning. The four Jedi then left the barn to check the village, Anakin and the two padawans unclipped their sabers and checked out one of the huts while Obi-Wan checked out another. The three searched the small upper room when Anakin noticed a trap door, lowering to one knee he signalled them to be quiet before using the Force to open it.
Inside their were two scared Felucian farmers with a child. "Mystery solved." Anakin said. "They're terrified. It's okay, we won't hurt you." she assured with a kind smile before the sound of blasters were cocked. "Kindly drop your weapons, Jedi." a Zabrak female ordered, pointing her rifle at Anakin as he stood up and faced her. A Frenk woman pointed her rifle at the back of Ahsoka's head while a Kyuzo male stood beside the Knight with his rifle casually slung over his shoulder and an armoured humanoid being stood between him and the Zabrak.
Revan quickly clipped his saber on the back of his belt. "Take it easy, Snips." Anakin said, trying to keep her from doing anything rash. "We don't want any trouble." he said to the Zabrak. The Kyuzo said something in his language. "It's not always about the numbers." Anakin replied. "Four on one is hardly a fair fight, even for a Jedi." the Frenk woman said, keeping her blaster pointed at Ahsoka's head. "Wait a minute. Four on one? You mean four on three." Ahsoka corrected with smirk while standing up. The armoured man took a few steps towards the padawans. "We don't count you, knee-high and he doesn't have a weapon." he gestured with his head towards Revan.
A lightsaber being activated was heard as Obi-Wan walked up beside the Zabrak while looking at the armoured man. "Do you count me?" he asked with a smirk. The man faced him and activated a saw on his arm before the other three Jedi activated their sabers, ready to attack. "Stop! Don't harm them!" A Felucian male said to the bounty hunters, walking into the home and standing between the Zabrak and Obi-Wan. "Can't you see these are Jedi? We are saved!" he declared to them happily. "Saved?" Ahsoka asked in a confused tone. "Need I remind you Casiss you already made a deal, with us." The Zabrak said to him while lowering her weapon from Anakin. "But with the Jedi's help-" he started before Ahsoka cut him off, "Excuse me, but help you with what?" she asked him. He lowered the Zabrak's blaster with his hand and replied, "Pirates."
By the time the rest of the villagers were notified their was currently no danger and they were now having something to eat night had fallen. "Simply stated, if we don't give the pirates a portion of our crop. They will destroy our homes with us in them." Casiss said as he, Obi-Wan, the two padawans and the bounty hunters - minus the armoured one - sat at the table while Anakin leaned against the wall and the armoured man stood at the corner of the table. The Jedi had also learned the bounty hunters names. The Zabrak was Sugi, the Kyuzo was Embo, Rumi was the Frenk and the armoured one was Seripas.
"I see your dilemma." Obi-Wan said a moment after Casiss finished. "Sillum farming is a meagre trade. Without our herbs to trade we will have no money for food, fuel or equipment." the Felucian explained further. "And yet you can afford to pay mercenaries." Obi-Wan pointed out. "These bounty hunters drive a far more reasonable bargain than the pirates." Casiss said. "Why not just fight them yourselves?" Anakin suggested with a smirk. "Easy for you perhaps," the Felucian started, pointing at him before gesturing to the other Felucians. "but look at us. We are farmers, not warriors. Even with the bounty hunters' help, I had feared the worst. Now that there are eight of you." he finished.
Sugi looked at Obi-Wan. "What do you want, Jedi?" she asked him. "We need a ship. Ours is beyond repair i'm afraid." he answered. "The one in the barn. That'll do." Anakin said, looking at her. "That's our ride, it doesn't go anywhere without us and right now we're busy." she replied without looking at him. Obi-Wan leaned forward on the table a bit. "Busy extorting farmers?" he accused. "I don't hear you offering to help." she countered. Obi-Wan leaned back in seat before turning his attention back to Casiss. "Unfortunately. We couldn't help even if we wanted to." he said. "What?" Ahsoka asked in disbelief.
The four Jedi exited the house in order to discuss what to do next. Ahsoka had her back towards the others and Obi-Wan had his hands clasped behind his back. "Master these farmers are in trouble, why can't we help them?" she asked before turning around to face them. "Believe me Ahsoka, I would like nothing more. However we need to report that the medical station has been destroyed. If we stay too long the Separatists will show up looking for us here." he explained. "But-" she attempted to counter only for him to cut her off, "Better they get robbed by pirates than attract the interest of General Grievous and his horde." he rationalized when suddenly a Felucian child started yelling as he ran towards them.
"Pirates! Pirates! Pirates! The pirates are back!" the kid ran past them and into the house as the bounty hunters along with Casiss exited it and walked up to Jedi before they all turned their attention to the approaching speeder bikes. Five pirate bikes stopped in front of the small campfire between them and the others. "That's far enough. I speak for the people of this village." Sugi announced as the pirates turned off their bikes. 'Weequays. Shit.' Revan had a feeling this was gonna go south, fast. Sugi continued, "State your name and business." The pirate in the front jabbed his daggered pike towards them threateningly. "My name is my own business and my business is taking whats ours!" he snarled.
"There is nothing here thats yours! Unless your here to buy it." she replied. "Buy it?" a voice asked rhetorically before chuckling as he got off his speeder and took a few steps forward with a Kowakian monkey-lizard following beside him. "Kenobi. Skywalker. I can't believe you came all this way to see me." he said with a smirk as the monkey-lizard perched itself on his shoulder. The two mentioned looked at one another and spoke the same name: "Hondo." Four of his gang got off their speeders and stood beside him as he clasped his hands behind him.
Sugi turned her head to face the two. "You know each other?" she asked Obi-Wan. "Of course we do. Tell them how far back we go, Kenobi." Hondo said as he walked up to him. "Too far, i'm afraid." the Master replied as Hondo laughed. "And here I thought we were friends." he said, still smirking as he placed a hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder. The Master shrugged it off before speaking, "If your truly interested in friendship, Hondo. Might I suggest you stop threatening these farmers." Obi-Wan suggested. "Threatening them?" he asked in mock disbelief before throwing his hands up dramatically and taking a few steps away. "Oh please tell me you have not been listening to this bounty hunting scum?" he asked, pretending to sound shocked.
"Scum?" Sugi asked rhetorically as she clasped her hands behind her. "We're just here to help them protect what's theirs." she defended, looking at a farmer and their child standing in front of the window to a house. "Oh, come come, my dear. How much are they paying you?" he asked with the smirk back in place as he turned to face her but before she could even reply, he held his hand up as he walked up to her. "Does not matter. Whatever it is, I will double it. And all you have to do to earn it is uh, step aside." he offered, gesturing with his hand and smirking again.
"We. Don't. Break. Deals." she growled, pushing him a step back to get her point across. Hondo's smirk vanished and his gang aimed their blasters at them. Sugi's group readied theirs as well. "Steady everyone." Obi-Wan said holding a hand towards each group, trying to defuse the situation. Hondo looked at him. "What is your stake anyway, Kenobi?" he asked. "All we want is a ride to the nearest Republic outpost and i'm willing to pay you handsomely for it. Twice what you could make selling this crop." the Master offered. It seemed to pique Hondo's interest as his smirk returned. "Well, now. How do you plan to pay me?" he asked. "A funds transfer when arrive." Obi-Wan replied. "Republic credit?" The Weequay gang lord asked rhetorically before taking a few steps towards his crew and tutting, "We've been over this before, Kenobi. My associates don't accept that currency."
Obi-Wan took a few steps towards him. "I'm offering a deal that benefits us all, Hondo. Don't let your greed blind you to that fact." he warned. Hondo fed his pet before turning his head to look at Obi-Wan. "You know, I like you Kenobi. But, um. No one leaves this planet until I get my sillum." he said in a low voice. "Then I hope you enjoy it here because you'll be staying a long time, parasite!" Sugi insulted. One of his gang members glared at her. Hondo took a few steps forward as hew spoke, "You know this crop has not been harvested." He walked over to Casiss before continuing, "You better hurry, old man. Before things start to, uh. Die on you." he warned ominously. Hondo and his gang then got back on their speeder bikes and took off back the way they came.
The group walked back into Casiss' home and brought up a holomap of the village, Anakin, Seripas and Embo remained standing while the others sat at a small round table with the map on it. Obi-Wan explained the plan, "When the attack comes it will come from two fronts. The forest to the south," he gestured with his hand towards the village entrance, "and the ridge to the north." he gestured to the rock area with a wide split in the middle, "Whatever you do, you must defend both sides.", "But there are only four of them. How can four bounty hunters defend against so many?" a male Felucian named Dilanni asked worriedly.
Embo said something in his native language. "The farmers are right. These bounty hunters don't stand a chance." Anakin said in a low voice. "We've been over this, Anakin." Obi-Wan said matching his volume. "You seem to lack confidence in our abilities, young Jedi." Sugi said to the Knight. "I'm sure your good at what you do, but your in way too deep." he replied evenly. "Says the peacekeeper who fails to keep the peace." she quipped back with a smirk. "The rift in the galaxy is not our fault. If more worlds would stand up for themselves against the Separatists this war would've been over long ago." Obi-Wan defended. "That's it! We'll just train the villagers to defend themselves." Anakin suggested.
"But we are just simple farmers! Why are we paying bounty hunters to defend us if we are just going to end up doing it ourselves?" Dilanni questioned. "Hush Dilanni." Casiss told him gently. "Trust me. We'll have you ready." Anakin assured with a smile. The next morning the Jedi and bounty hunters started to get the villagers ready for Hondo's attack. "Put it in the barn, every bushel." Sugi told a farmer hauling sillum. Some of the farmers harvested the crop and put it in the barn whir the rest formed up in front of Anakin. "Alright everyone, form up." he called out. The farmers remained huddle up not knowing what he meant. The Knight sighed. "Divide into rows of five." he simplified. Some of the villagers did so while the rest didn't.
Anakin looked at the ground and shook his head. "I told you, we are not soldiers. We don't even have weapons!" Dilanni reminded. Anakin walked up to one of the farmers. "May I?" he asked, holding his hand out. The farmer looked confused before handing him the staff. Anakin took a few steps back and inspected it, he tossed it between hands before placing the bottom end on the ground. He then started twirling it around him before placing the end back on the ground. 'Shit. Sometimes I forget just how good he is.' Revan smirked.
"Yep, these'll do." the Knight said. Revan took his leave and made his way over to Ahsoka as she was teaching a group how to use a slingshot. He looked over to see Seripas cutting a large fungus down, only for it to fall town towards him. The armoured bounty hunter grabbed it and started to struggle under it's weight. Ahsoka noticed this. "Seripas! It's too heavy!" she warned before running over to him and tackling him out of the way. Once the fungus hit the ground, Revan hopped over it to check on them. "Seripas?" she asked worriedly as his armoured head opened up and a small alien head popped out.
"D-Don't look! I'm having a suit malfunction." he said quickly before ducking back into the suit. The armor sat up. Ahsoka gave him a small teasing smirk. Revan had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. 'The supposed big bad armoured bounty is just a little guy in a suit? Now that is funny.' he let out a few quiet snickers. Seripas gave a dejected sigh. "Not very intimidating am I?" he asked. Ahsoka kneeled in front of him. "You don't have to look tough to be tough." she reassured with a smile, Revan nodded in agreement. Seripas gave a grateful smile and stood his suit back up before locking the headpiece back into place. "I thank you for your help." he said, back in his mechanical voice before continuing what he was doing.
Ahsoka went back to training her group while Revan went to see how the ones training under Anakin were doing, coming upon them as Dilanni threw his staff to the ground. "The bounty hunters is right. Every minute you waste teaching us to twirl stupid poles, is time you could've spent beating those pirates yourself." he complained, kicking the staff as Sugi and Obi-Wan joined them. "And what good would that do you? Another band of brigands would inevitably come along. Or do you intend to give away part of your crop every harvest season?" Obi-Wan asked him, folding his arms. "If you make us do this, there won't be another harvest season!" Dilanni exclaimed before storming off.
"Alright everyone, get back in position. Let's continue." Anakin said, trying to get the group focused back on training. An hour later his training seemed to have started paying off, as the group was now working in almost perfect sync. Obi-Wan walked between two rows and gently took the staff from one of the farmers before correcting with a small demonstration. Revan suddenly shook his head, as if something was tickling the back of his neck. "What is it?" Sugi asked him upon noticing. "I feel like were being watched." he replied, she looked at a small cliff behind them and her eyes widened. "There! A scout!" she exclaimed, pointing at the cliff.
The others turned their heads to where she was pointing as a figure started to flee. "Embo!" she ordered. The bounty hunter immediately took off in the scouts' direction. The four Jedi plus Sugi caught up to him just as dropped the dead scout. "Quick work." Anakin complimented. Embo turned to face them and said something in his language. "Yes, but when this scout fails to report to Hondo. He'll be coming, soon." Obi-Wan warned. Once they made it back to the village, it was time to start getting ready. Most of the villagers started getting ready to defend the village while the others ran to the safety of their homes. Revan made his way to the energy fence with his master and Sugi, as Anakin and Embo met them there.
"The farmers are in position. Well the ones who stuck around anyway." the Knight informed. "Very well, Anakin. Turn on the fence." Obi-Wan said. Anakin did so and it surrounded most of the village, with only the Jedi, bounty hunters and participating farmers on the outside of it. "Battle positions, everyone!" Sugi called out. Anakin ignited his saber as the pirates zoomed into the village. Sugi and Embo ran towards them, with her starting to shoot them. Embo kicked the shooter off one and hitched a ride on it. One of the pirates attempted to run Revan down. He backflipped out of the way and landed on the front of the bike. "Mind if I borrow this?" he asked with a smirk, using their current state of surprise he kicked both off and made his way to Ahsoka's position.
He managed to reach it quickly and ditched the bike, letting crash into some flora. He landed beside her as three pirate bike made their way towards them. The two padawans activated their sabers as Seripas turned his saw on and the one farmer beside them readied it's slingshot. Two more of the farmers were in harvesters and one on the cliff signalled them. Ahsoka deflected a few bolts as she and the other three retreated when the two harvesters brought down two large fungus, causing the pirates to crash into them and explode.
Seripas turned his attention to the only pirate that managed to get out of the way in time as the two traded blasts. His armor eventually took to much damage, luckily he managed to get out in time and land on the pirates' head. The padawans and one farmer caught up to him as they noticed the pirate laying on the ground and the bounty hunter drop onto ground after letting go of one of the handlebars. The three smiled at his way of dealing with the pirate. Revan hopped on the bike. "I'm gonna check on the others." he said, the three nodded and he took off back towards the village.
He sped into the village just as a tank blast knocked Embo away. "Embo!" Anakin called out in worry. The bounty hunter rolled a bit after hitting the ground. The others rushed over to him. "Everyone, fall back to the barn!" Obi-Wan ordered as Revan stopped the bike beside him. "That tank is going to tear the villagers apart." Sugi said in worry as she helped Embo stand. "You guys get the villagers into the barn, i'll take care of Hondo." Revan said as he sped off towards the cliff. Hondo started taking shots towards the padawan. "Die Jedi scum!" he yelled. Revan quickly backflipped off the speeder before it exploded upon hitting the cliff and landed on the front of Hondo's tank.
"Let's dance, Bozo." Revan challenged. The pirate leader activated his electrostaff and brought one of it's ends down. Revan dodged the swipe before pushing the Weequay back a few feet. Hondo stepped back up to hime quickly, Revan blocked two slashes and jumped over a third one. The tank's cannon suddenly moved and blasted the barns' roof, he snarled at Ohnaka before stabbing his saber through the small opening. After hearing a startled cry he quickly brought his saber up to block more slashes. 'Dammit! I can't find a good opening.' The two kept blocking each others attacks when the cannon fired again.
Now that the whole tank started to swivel, both focused on keeping their balance. Hondo raised his foot up and attempted to push the padawan into the tank, luckily he managed to grab onto the sides. Hondo advanced on him but Revan placed his foot on the middle of the staff and pushed the pirate back. Revan gripped the sides to flip himself backward and onto his feet as Ohnaka brought one of the staff ends down. The padawan suddenly felt pain in his leg, looking down he saw Hondo's pet monkey-lizard biting him. Revan looked up in time to block another slash. "Get off me, you little shit!" he snarled before flinging it off him.
Hondo looked at it as it flew past him before turning his attention back to his opponent. The padawan ducked a slash before backflipping off the tank and onto the cliff. "You're situation is hopeless…" the pirate trailed off. "Revan." the teenager answered his unasked question. Ohnaka smirked at him as his pet jumped onto Revan's face, who cried out in surprise. The creature quickly crawled onto his leg and started biting it again when he attempted to get it off his face. The padawan quickly reached down and grabbed it by the neck before tossing it into the air. As he attempted to slash it as it came back down, Hondo blocked his blade before using his foot to push the teen back.
Revan wasn't able to recover quickly to attack but was able to grab the pirates' staff with his free hand and push back with his saber hilt. The padawan immediately realized something and smirked at the gang lord. "You seem to be pushing a little too hard, Ohnaka. You know what that means?" without giving Hondo a chance to reply he continued, "This!" he exclaimed as he ducked and rolled out of the way, causing the pirate to lose his balance and tumble forward before sliding over the edge of the cliff. Hondo managed to grab the edge and was now dangling off it. Revan walked up to him.
"Help me!" the pirate begged, the padawan only glared at him. "Revan, let call off my men." Ohnaka tried again, holding his hand out for help. "Fine." the teen growled before sheathing his blade and taking the pirates' hand. Hondo suddenly shoved him back after letting go of his hand before getting out of the way. Revan turned his head in time to see the cannon shoot at him, he backflipped just as the blast hit the ground and crouched as he landed below the cliff. The two older Jedi, Sugi and two Felucians ran up to him as he stood before they all looked up at Hondo standing on the cliffs' edge. "This effort, is no longer profitable!" he called down as his ship appeared behind him before he retreated back to it with the ship flying off quickly a few seconds later.
Awhile later the Jedi and the bounty hunters, - minus Rumi, who had unfortunately perished from one of Hondo's cannon blasts. - were now standing in front of the barn as Casiss spoke to most of the villagers who fought. "There are crops to harvest. Fields to till, hearts to rebuild. Now let's get to work." As the villagers left he turned around to the Jedi and bounty hunters. "How can I ever thank you for saving our village?" he asked humbly. "We didn't save your village, Casiss. Your people did." Anakin said with a kind smirk. "For the first time in my memory, my people don't need to be afraid. We will never forget you." he promised with a grateful bow before walking off to help the villagers.
Sugi stepped in front of the two older Jedi with a soft smile on her face. "I seem to find myself light on company, still need that ride back to the republic outpost?" she asked them. "If it wouldn't be any inconvenience?" Obi-Wan asked with a lighthearted smirk. "On the contrary, it would be my pleasure." she replied and gestured towards the ship, the group then made their way onto it. "In the end i'm glad we ended up helping them, instead of abandoning them to Hondo and his gang." Revan said quietly to Ahsoka. "Me too. Who knew what I had wanted to do would end up coming true." she replied with a smile. "Indeed." he agreed, returning her smile.
Finally done chapter 10. Yes I know I changed the fight with Hondo, but I like to take any opportunity I get if it means showing off Revan's skills. As for the next chapter, i'm pretty sure it'll be short so I should have it up soon. I hope.
