Amour flinched as the medical console nearest Revan was crushed by his exertion of the force.
"What do you mean it's gone, a body doesn't just get up and disappear." he yelled.
"Please my lord allow me to finish, the apprentice Bandon is missing as well."
Revan brushed his hand through his hair as he contemplated this new information.
As Revan reached for his mask, a shock wave shot through the ship. The shock wave sent everyone in the room flying, turning himself Revan caught Bastila and used himself to shield her from the impact as they hit the wall. After making sure Bastila was okay Revan activated his communicator"This is Lord Revan, what the hell happened?"
"Its Malak's fleet my lord, they began an attack run the second we exited hyperspace."
Revan cursed to himself, he had hoped to just absorb the small fleet Malak had sent into his own. Unfortunately they wanted to do things the hard way. If that is how they wanted it then so be it, "Send this order through out the armada, destroy all Rakata warships in orbit around Taris, do whatever it takes to protect that planet."
"Lord Revan, we have confirmed reports that there is a large ground force on the planet, what are your orders sir?"
"You always were to eager to conquer planets Malak," Revan signalled Bastila to follow him "Prepare my ship, Bastila and I will lead our ground forces to liberate Taris."
Carth looked around what seemed to be his family's home aboard the ship, it seemed to be fairly well designed. The war veteran was contemplating everything his wife had told him in the past few hours. She had explained to him, Revan's reason for his war with the Republic and showed him all the information available.
Hearing the door to his quarters open, Onasi turned and saw Revan standing before him. "Admiral Amour informs me that the two of you had an incident earlier, what do you have to say for yourself Carth?"
"I am loyal to the Republic that will never change, however with everything Morgana has told me the past few hours, it makes me wonder." Carth stood and walked towards Revan, "Are you sure that this is the best course of action? Can't you just show the information you have on the true sith to the council and the senate? Surely they'll see reason."
To Carth's surprise Revan actually burst out laughing at what he just said, "You don't think that was the first thing i tried? I had hoped they would see the truth in what i said, but all they saw was a Jedi who had gone to war and believe him to have fallen to the dark side."
Revan stood to the side a gestured for Carth to lead the way, "Now given prior circumstances you will be accompanying Bastila and myself to Taris' surface, we need to clean up Malak's mess."
Leaning in to Revan, Bastila sighed happily as he wrapped his arm a round her, "What are we going to do when we reach the surface?, If our arrival was any indication we can expect a cold reception."
"I wouldn't worry about it to much, Malak always considered many of those assigned to landing parties to be expendable." Revan pulled Bastila closer to him as he spoke, " Many of them served with Carth and I during the Mandalorian wars, I will be able to convince many of the Jedi here to return to the fleet, and Carth will be able to convince the soldiers to do the same."
"Revan there is something you should know before the shuttle lands," Carth paused as he waited for Revan to acknowledge him, seeing the Jedi nod Carth continued, "The last reports out of Taris have said that the planet is going through an alien purge sort of speak, only humans or specially privileged aliens are allowed to roam the surface. All others are being pushed down into the lower or undercity, and then there is the slave trade being run by the Exchange. The local crime boss is known as Davik, he is using this purge as a means to increase the profits of the slave trade a hundred fold. Plus there are rumours of a gang war brewing in the lower city"
"So this place is still the same hell hole it was the last time I was here."
After the shuttled landed the three excited the space port to see a group of Malak's soldiers harassing a young teenage twi'lek girl.
"Please you have to help me, no one else is going to help me, its my friends those gamorrean slavers took my friend."
One of the soldiers pushed the young twi'lek to the ground, "Get lost alien scum, only humans on the surface, don't you know the law?" One of the other soldiers grabbed the young girl by the arm and pulled her up, "Maybe we should take her to prison and remind her what happens to those who break Sith law."
Fear spread across the face of the young twi'lek as she realized what the man meant, struggling to get free from the mans grasp the young girl kicked the soldier between his legs. Screaming in agony the soldier let go of the girl as he fell to the ground in pain. Running as fast as she could the twi'lek ran towards Revan. The soldiers began to chase the teen, not noticing where she was going the young twi'lek ran straight into Revan. The impact knocking the teenager to the ground.
"Hey watch were your going you big ner..." The twi'lek trailed off as she noticed who she had run into. The man she had run into walked straight past her towards the group of soldiers who were chasing her.
"Out of our way citizen, this alien broke Sith law and must be punished accordingly," The leader of the patrol ordered although one could see he was intimidated by Revan.
Revan chuckled as he shook his head, "This is what the hero's of the mandalorian wars have become? A bunch of mindless thugs who try to shake down a child?"
"Hey I'm not a child"
"I don't know who you are citizen but you your under arrest, your coming with us." The patrol began to surround Revan, trying to prevent any escape attempt.
Rather then try and talk the fools out of this Revan simply grabbed a lightsaber from his side, activating it Revan took a simple combat stance.
"It's a Jedi, call for reinforce..." Revan killed the patrolman before he could finish the order. Seeing their leader killed struck fear into the rest of the patrol. Dropping to their knees they began beg for mercy.
"Get up you cowards, go back to your base and tell your superiors that I Lord Revan have arrived."
The soldiers in eyes widened in fear as the ran off before Revan could change his mind about letting them live.
"That was awesome thank you so much for helping me," the young twi'lek was bouncing up and down excitedly.
" No problem now whats your name miss?"
"Its Mission Vao , Whats yours?
"Simply call me Revan, Now i believe you have a friend in trouble? Would you like some help?"
Mission stood there in stunned silence, the leader of the the new Sith empire had just offered to help her save Zaalbar. "But,...but your the Dark Lord of the Sith why would you want to help me?"
"First I and those who follow me are not Sith, it is the Jedi council who called us such, and second I'll help anyone I can if I can."
Mission looked sceptical but she knew with someone as strong as Revan with her she could rescue Zaalbar no problem.
"Alright, they probably took him into the undercity, those pigs tend to like the sewers probably reminds them of home."
"WHAT?"
"Its true sir, Lord Revan is here on Taris and he is not happy we conquered Taris."
"Damn he is sure to kill us all for this, but not if we kill him first" "Sargent put the entire base on alert and activate every defensive protocol we have, Revan will die before he enters this base."
