Carth sat inside his cell contemplating what happened just hours before "They really are alive, but why would my family ally with the Sith?" Carth's thoughts were interrupted as the doors to the cell block opened, to his surprise he saw that it was Bastila Shan entering.
"Where's your master? Or was he to busy and decided to send his new pet instead?" Carth spoke as he spat at Bastila.
Bastila felt a wave of emotions surge through out her as she remembered what happened moments ago in the medical bay.
Flashback
Bastila watched as the medical staff attended to Revan's lightsaber wound, suddenly one of the nurses started pushing her towards the door.
"What do you think your doing?" Bastila practically screamed at the woman
"We need to preform surgery on Revan's wound and we can't do that with you here looking over our shoulder." the nurse simply said before successfully pushing Bastila out of the room.
After a few hours of pacing Bastila began to fear the worst. Bastila finally collapsed into a nearby chair, looking up she saw the lead doctor walking towards her.
"Excuse me? You where the one who brought Lord Revan here correct?" She asked.
"Yes, How is he? Is he alright?" Bastila asked worried something might have happened.
The doctor smiled at Bastila's concern for Revan, "He's fine, in fact he just woke up a few moments ago and he's asked to see you".
Hearing this Bastila shot past the doctor and ran into the medical bay. Upon entering she saw Revan sitting up in bed with his back supported with numerous pillows.
Seeing Bastila, Revan couldn't help but smile.
"Hey Bas, what I miss?"
Bastila didn't answer, instead she jumped onto the bed tackling Revan capturing his lips in a kiss, sending the pillows holding him up flying as she did so.
The lead doctor entered in time to see the little display, "MISS SHAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Breaking the kiss Bastila turned towards the doctor, before she could respond however, the medical bay doors opened revealing Admiral Amour.
The Admiral stepped into the room before stopping to bow to Revan, "Pardon my interruption Master but there is still the matter of Carth Onasi to attend to."
Revan simply nodded his head in agreement. As he attempted to leave his bed, Bastila pushed him back down, "Don't even think of leaving this room until your cleared by the medical team, understand?
All Revan could do was smile as he nodded his head, "Good now I'll go deal with Onasi, you stay here and rest."
Bastila gave Revan a quick kiss on the lips as she left the medical bay.
Amour laughed softly."I never took you for the type, Revan."
"What type?"
"The way you hold her, the gentleness with which you touch her… I never knew you to be the type who could find happiness in a woman."
"Bastila is no ordinary woman," Revan said with a smile.
"I can tell," Amour said,
"What do you mean by that?"
"It takes much more than a pretty face to make the great Revan swoon like a teenage boy. She makes you happy, Revan, don't let her go. True happiness is something not many men are blessed with before they die."
Revan smiled as he closed his eyes quickly drifting into sleep. As always, he dreamed of Bastila.
End Flashback
Bastila shook the memories from her head as she came to a stop a few feet away from the force cage holding Carth. She didn't speak however she just stood there as if she was waiting for something.
After a few moments Morgana entered the cell block and stood beside Bastila. "Hello Carth."
Carth just stared at his wife unable to answer, Morgana sighed as she disabled the force field and stepped into his cell. Before she reached him however Carth was suddenly thrown into the back of the cell and held in place.
Morgana turned around to see Bastila with her hand extended and her anger filled eyes locked on Carth. "What are you doing Bastila?" Morgana asked calmly although Bastila could tell she wanted nothing more then to scream.
"Simple, Carth's previous actions have shown that he can not be trusted regardless of the circumstances."
Morgana wanted to protest but she knew Bastila was right Carth hadn't exactly been true to his word. Turning her head back towards her husband Morgana simply asked "Are you willing to listen this time?"
Carth finally found his voice "How can I listen? The Sith destroyed our home planet," he all but screamed at his wife.
Morgana once again slapped her husband in hopes of he'd calm down enough to listen.
"Will you listen to yourself? Did you ever look deeper into what happened that day at all?"
"What are you talking about Morgana?"
She couldn't help but smile slightly he was at least calm enough to listen finally. "It was Malak alone who attacked Telos, Revan's fleet had no part in it. Malak acted on his own behalf when he attacked our home."
Carth hung there in silence for a few moments before responding, "How can I be sure anything your saying is true?"
Morgana smile dropped as she heard this, "Simple would I be here if it wasn't?"
Bastila could see Carth was torn, "How about this Carth? I let you out and your wife takes possession of you. She'll show you around the ship and let you see that Revan and those who follow him are not what you think."
Carth looked at Bastila shock clearly written across his face, "Why would do that?"
"Your a good man Onasi, and I have no desire to kill you," Bastila let go the hold she had on the republic soldier. As she began to leave the room she turned and looked directly at Carth, "However if you so much as try to betray Revan again I will kill you myself."
Revan eyes slowly opened as he tried to get use to the lighting of the medical bay causing the man to groan uncomfortably. Revan heard a giggle and turned towards his left, and smiled upon seeing Bastila sitting beside him.
Standing up Revan began to get dressed, "You never did answer me earlier you know?"
Bastila simply smiled as she kissed his cheek, "We're en-route to Taris, it appears that Malak had sent a small fleet there to conqur the planet."
Revan sighed as he ran a hand through his hair, "Why'd it have to be Taris, how long till we arrive?"
"An hour at most."
Revan nodded as he finished dressing himself, "What happened to Malak?"
Revan took a fearful step back at the look in Bastila's eyes when she heard Malak's name. "He's dead and that all that matters,"Bastila answered her voice void of any emotion.
Amour entered the medical bay a short while later, "Lord Revan we will arrive at Taris in approximately five minutes, however there is something else you should know about."
Revan could hear the uncertainty in her voice, "What is it Admiral?"
Gathering her courage Amour looked up at Revan "We were salvaging what we could from Malak's ship when we finally got to the hanger well..."
"Just say it Amour"
"It's Malak sir, his body it's gone."
