Knights of the Falling Republic

Chapter 14

Hope you're all having fun this Christmas or if your reading this later, had a fun Christmas, or if you don't celebrate Christmas had a fun day off, or if you didn't have a day off had a fun day at work, or if you didn't have a fun day, then have a good time reading this. I'd hope so, especially if you have read the last 13 chapters.

Sorry about that.

When Revan found Anakin, he was completely surrounded by Droideka. As she watched, a bounty hunter, in silver sleek Mandalorian armour, landed near Anakin and drew a blaster pistol on him.

"Don't move Jedi" he said in a serious tone which reminded Revan of Canderous' voice. He gestured with his head to the droids, "Take him away".

Revan could see Anakin's lightsaber had been snapped in half, Obi-Wan's gonna kill him.

Revan moved in silence and followed Anakin deeper into the factory. She used the Force to block everyone from knowing she was there and every now and again, she used Force Cloak, a skill Juhani had once taught her.

As Revan followed them she got to see one of the people who Obi-Wan spoke of in the hologram, Count Dooku. Revan could instantly feel the dark side coming off of him and also knew instantly that he was, or thought he was, a Sith Lord. They'll still around? Why can't they leave the galaxy alone?

Revan watched as Padme joined with Anakin and they both spoke briefly with the Count. Padme asked that Obi-Wan be released but Dooku said he would only agree if she and Naboo joined them. Padme declined and the two were taken away again.

Revan had been hiding for a few hours now and watched as Anakin and Padme were led to execution. She knew this would be the best place to reveal herself. She had more of a chance against whatever was out there rather than a whole army of droids. Padme and Anakin spoke briefly to one another and Revan listened.

"Don't be afraid" Anakin said soothingly.

Padme looked back to him and Revan saw a look in her eyes of which she hadn't seen before, love but also regret.

"I'm not afraid to die. I've been dying a little bit each day you came back into my life." Anakin looked confused with this revelation but didn't speak. "I love you Anakin. And I know you love Revan but I don't care. I had to tell you, before we die."

Padme spoke even quieter. "I love you so much that all I want is for you to be happy, as happy as you are when you're with her. That's why I didn't tell you until now".

Anakin looked away, obviously trying to take in what she had said. He wasn't given enough time because they were soon led outside. Revan used the Force to Cloak herself again and walked straight out into the middle of the stadium? It must be a public execution. It was vast and was filled with millions of the Geonosian creatures. Near the centre of the arena were four poles. On one Revan could see Obi-Wan chained tightly to it. He looked for a long time straight at Anakin as he and Padme were led to two of the other poles.

"I was beginning to wonder if you got my message" Obi-Wan commented dryly.

"I retransmitted just as you requested Master, then we decided to come and rescue you" Anakin replied as is chains were strapped to the top of the pole.

Obi-Wan looked up at his chains and replied sarcastically, "Good job". Revan waited for the Geonosian chaining Anakin to go before she walked up to Obi-Wan, while still invisible, and slapped him. He looked around confused at what had just struck him. "What the-?" She placed a hand over his mouth.

"Shut up Kenobi" Revan ordered before taking her hand away.

"Revan?" Kenobi asked. "Where the hell are you and what are you doing?"

"I'm the ghost of Sith past. Two other ghosts will come and will pass their judgement on you." Revan replied sarcastically. I'm sure he's related to Bastila. Wait, that means he's related to me. Oh God's no. "Why do you think? Anyway just let me loosen these chains a bit". She loosened them enough for Obi-Wan to get his hands out.

She then moved to Anakin and kissed him. Anakin, obviously not knowing she was there, tried to pull away. "Hey Anakin"

"Revan, I wondered where you'd gone. Can you get me out of these things?" Anakin asked.

"I'll loosen them but pretend they are still tight, okay?" Anakin nodded. Once she had finished she was about to make her way to Padme, only to find her already getting her cuffs off. Revan used a wave of the Force to help her get them off.

When she turned around again she saw three creatures being let loose. One was an Acklay, a creature native to the planet Vendaxa. A large, vicious creature with six legs with sharp claws again. Next to this was a vile looking feline called a Nexu. Its body was that of the normal creature but its head resembled something Revan never wished to see again, that of a Rackghoul. The final one was a Reek. It had three horns on its head and it looked ready to charge.

As soon as the creatures where let loose on them Revan appeared, as if out of thin air, right in front of Anakin: who sighed at the sight of seeing the beautiful ex-Sith Lord again.

"You can get out of the chains now" Revan called to the three. Padme looked up in shock, not having noticed her appear while the other two readily complied.

All three of them walked to her side. Obi-Wan was the first to speak, "Well, now what?"

Revan looked to him and shook her head. "You're not a very good Jedi, are you Master Kenobi". Obi-Wan harrumphed and Anakin smiled at the way she treated his master. She was rebellious, just like him.

"Just stay behind me" Revan continued as she held out her hands in front of her. She concentrated on the minds of the three creatures and gave them a push. She opened her eyes to see it had worked: the creatures were attacking each other.

She looked over her shoulder to see three shocked faces staring at her. Revan just smirked. Just as she was about to ask the three what to do next, seven droideka rolled out of a gate, and surrounded them.

Revan shook her head. "You'd think they'd send something better than droids".

Anakin looked around at the droids and then back at her. "When did you get so confident?"

Revan looked at him and smiled, "I guess it's just been hidden the surface", since I left Coruscant thousands of years ago.

As soon as Revan held out her hands, intending on using lighting to destroy the droids, she felt a sudden wash of power through the Force.

She looked up to the main observation platform and saw a dark skinned man with a purple lightsaber pointed at the Mandalorian Bounty Hunters neck. She looked around and saw many other Jedi around the stadium, igniting their lightsabers.

She looked back to the Jedi on the platform and recognized him as being Master Windu and noticed he was in a battle ready posed. This is where the fun begins.

Please Read and Review. I had to put that Scrooge thing in, I had just watched a version of the Dickens classic.

Oh a note to all readers. I'm trying to decide whether or not to bring the Jedi Exile into the story. Please review and tell me if to bring her in or not.
