A/N1: This is the first half of the next chapter, I felt like it would be beneficial to post this today. Hopefully Chapter Twenty-Two will be up around Wednesday. I apologize for any that I scared off in the last chapter.
I own nothing - Same as last chapter, and the one before that!
Revan
Twenty-One
"STOP!" a cold and powerful voice spoke, both Darth Revan and Lord Revan turned to see an ancient looking man wearing deep green robes with a small silver lightsaber hanging at his waste.
The old man stepped forward and spoke harshly, "Harrison did I raise you to be weak?"
Lord Revan shook his head, "No Master."
The old man nodded, "Harrison did I raise you to let your emotions control you?"
Again, Lord Revan shook his head, "No Master."
The old man narrowed his eyes at both Lord Revan and Darth Revan, "Your right, I did not. So what are you doing on the ground? Get up, you shouldn't be fighting your hatred and anger; you should be accepting them." The old man gave a once over of Darth Revan, "They are apart of you, you shouldn't hide them away."
"I'm sorry Master."
"You should be." Lord Revan stood up and brushed his robes off and turned to see the old man staring at Darth Revan, "And what do you have to say for yourself Darth? Hmm?"
Darth Revan just stared at the old man, unable to say a word.
"Just what I thought, how do you expect to survive in the real world if you can't even face down me?" a chair appeared behind the old man, and he slowly sat down into it. "Harrison, you need to understand your anger and where it stems from so that it does not control you. Tell me, what do you hate the most?"
Lord Revan thought for a moment before speaking, "I hate that people die needlessly."
The old man nodded, "But..?"
"But I understand that sometimes people need to die for a cause, so that that cause may take effect."
The old man smiled, "Exactly."
Lord Revan stared at the man, "Thank you for helping me."
The old man's smile never left his face as he spoke, "Nonsense, even the most powerful Emperors of the most powerful Empire's need help sometimes; Even if the problem is themselves, now you know what you need to do right?"
Revan nodded, "Yes, I understand. Thank you again." The old man disappeared as Lord Revan turned to face Darth Revan, "I understand you, you're my anger at the death of the Delacour's, you're my anger at Darth Sidious' attempt to rule the galaxy, you're my anger at the Jedi's resentment towards me."
Darth Revan raised his blade, "You will not defeat me, and you cannot win now that your master is gone. He was all that kept my blade at bay."
Lord Revan nodded his head, "You may be right, I can't beat you by myself; but I have something that you don't: friends." Behind Lord Revan forms began to materialize, Darth Revan could make out the forms of Lord Revan I, Padme, Dustin, Obi Wan, First, Ordo, Kyn, The Flamels, and even Master Yoda.
Darth Revan stepped backwards in fear, "Your right, I don't have to beat you. You just have to join me."
Lord Revan II opened his eyes into the empty hall of the orbital station all was good. He was alive and finally whole once again.
The empty void he once had was filled. All was right again.
"I'm glad your back son." The voice was the same as the old man from his meditations, "I was worried about you for a while." Lord Revan turned and saw the force-ghost of the original Revan.
"It was you? You actually were there? I thought that was my mind giving me the push I needed." Lord Revan smiled genuinely for one of the first times, in a long time.
"Yes, it was me. I felt that you could use the extra push." Lord Revan I put his hand onto Revan's shoulder, "You are not alone Harrison, you do not have to make these decisions on your own. You have friends, you have Padme."
Lord Revan nodded his head in acceptance, "I know, but I don't want to push them away or make them have to see the horrors that occur every day in my life."
The original Revan shook his head, "You can't protect everyone my son."
"I know Father."
Lord Revan I smiled suddenly, "Now I hear that you are going to be married?"
Revan gave a nervous laugh, "It's not for certain, Padme has yet to agree."
Lord Revan I gave a sharp look, "That's not what I heard; I think you should check your Holo messages."
Revan gave him a suspicious look, "If you say so."
Padme smiled softly to herself as she pressed 'send' on her Holo Message that she had just finished recording for Revan. She knew as soon as her feet hit the ground of Naboo that he was the only man in the entire Galaxy for her.
No one else could compare to him, in passion, in love, in dedication. He was perfect for her.
He made her feel like a princess all the time, and when she was with him, she knew he would go the lengths of the Galaxy for her.
Nothing would stand in his way, of being with her.
Some don't believe in love at first sight, but how could she not when she was experiencing it every day that she was with him?
She would spend the rest of her life with him, no matter what.
Alana looked across the play room to her friend Soontir Fel and his little brother Todr, she suddenly looked up at the boys and smiled coyly, "I'm gonna have a new mommy!"
Soontir stared at her over his blocks and laughed, "You don't know that for sure! Besides who would want you for a daughter?" after speaking, he then stuck his tongue out at her.
Todr babbled in the background as he watched his older brother and his older brothers only friend fight – like they always did.
"Plenty of people would want me as a daughter! I'm a princess!" she spoke with such certainty and righteous indignity that Soontir was quite unmatched in the comebacks department.
It took him a few minutes, but he quickly came up with: "Yeah well, you're so ugly that I will probably just have to marry you so you don't feel bad."
Tears formed in the young girls eyes as she was about to start crying, obviously hurt from what he had said, Soontir knew his mistake and quickly went to fix it: "I'm just joking! Obviously I'd marry you because you're the most beautiful girl in the whole entire Empire!"
Alana's eyes quickly dried and she smiled sweetly at the boy before her, "Really? You really mean it?"
"Ah huh." Soontir quickly responded knowing that any negative answers would just make her cry some more.
Dustin Onasi stood in front of a view screen holding his new born son Abraxes Onasi, a few minutes earlier he had been told that Lord Revan and Senator Padme Amidala would be marrying. The Empire would finally have its Empress.
And that wasn't all either! He told Dustin that Abraxes and all of Abraxes children would be considered shadow heirs to the throne of the Empire.
That meant that if anything were to go wrong and no more sons or daughters of Lord Revan II were able to take the throne then Abraxes or any of his children would take the throne.
Dustin also knew that this would effectively make the Onasi family royalty.
He understood that he had just become one of the most powerful men of the Empire.
