Enjoy,


Begin Chapter 7

As Revan came back to awareness the first thing he felt was the piercing pain in his skull. Despite the pain he rose to his feet, and noticed his holoprejecter had a missed transmission. Walking over to it he active it and an image of Bastila flared to life.

"Revan," She said. " I can only hope that my message arrives in time to help you." She paused for a second. " Sir the Remaining members of the Jedi High council are in full disarray, there are rumors going about that they plan to capture your mind from the temple. My main reason for contacting you is to say that the temple is prime to be attacked, though I have had the Raxus Prime system cleansed of its fleet. I still recommend that you lead a dual assault, on both here and Raxus Prime. This may be your best chance you will get in this war Revan…..Bastila out. " With that her image faded away, and Revan was left standing there in his throne room…

Shortly after the image ended he called General Zakkeg to his throne room.

*Coruscant*

**Bastila's POV**

Bastila had just finished getting the republic fleet moved into position for the ambush and had sent her message to Revan. Now she was standing on the roof of the temple, staring out over the landscape. Silently to herself she began to wonder if she was making the right choices. She did believe in what Revan was doing but she didn't know if he was going about this in the best manner.

As she let a sigh out a sound behind her startled her, whipping out one of her dual blade halves and igniting it she brought it to the throat of the man behind her before realizing that it was Master Sateel from the high council. Realizing her error she quickly put it away.

"Easy there young one, I mean you no harm. I just came to see how your holding up, I can tell your encounter with our fallen friend has left you confused and torn." She smiled kindly before saying, " You know, it almost seems as though you care for him…."

"I don't know what to say master, Revan and I have a long and complicated history. He was my first real friend I made here at the temple, everyone else thought I was a freak and a teacher's pet. But not Revan, he took the time to get to know me and help me understand people. In return I taught him all his true skills with swordsmanship. I realize that he has fallen to the dark side, and I worry that there may be no saving him…." Bastila frowned, " There was a time where we almost ran away from the order to be together. So I guess that you could say I have or at least had feelings once for him…"

A painful look came to Sateel's face, " Bastila, young one. You know the rules of the Jedi order, love is forbidden. We cannot show emotion, we must keep it in check and not let it control us.

" Yes master, I know. However I sometimes feel as though, emotions can't be controlled. I feel as though we only push them back, like water in a damn we only suppress the flow." Bastila cast a look over to Sateel's face and saw a frown.

"Young one, if there is turmoil within you then you need to find peace before we call upon you. Which reminds me, the council and I wish to speak with you tomorrow morning." With that she turned to walk away and before she entered the turbo lift she said, " Bastila, we need you to be strong, though Revan and Alec have fallen we need you to be the leader of our forces. Therefore you must solve your inner conflicts and soon. then the doors closed and she left the roof.

Bastila sat there for hours just watching the skyline and thinking to herself, The view is going to be ruined once Revan and his armies arrive….Maybe I shouldn't have called him here…..no, I trust him….She sighed, all of this was bothering her, after talking to Revan everything strange the council had been doing seemed to fit in. The council had even given the youngest padawan light sabers…PADAWANS she thought. She was starting to worry that the council knew Revan was going to attack Coruscant, part of her wondered if the council was using the younglings for the upcoming battle….Not that it would even help, he's powerful enough to destroy the temple on his own….

*Somewhere In the Galaxy*

"Sir, it seems that Revan has moved his entire fleet out of Korriban's atmosphere and the whole zeta quadrant surrounding." Said one of the helmsman, trembling.

"Where has he moved his fleet?" A man spoke from a dark spot in the room. His voice was ancient and sounded as though hundreds of people spoke through his vocal chords at the same time. His eyes were pitch black without a hint of white.

Without looking at the dark figure the helmsman replied shakily, "I-it would seem as though he is moving his fleet t-towards C-C-Coruscant sir…" He squeaked.

"And what of his former apprentice Malek?" The Voice Rasped

"H-He j-just left the Dromund Kas System my lord, What are your orders?" He spoke still without facing the dark figure.

As he rose from his throne and stood into the light everyone on the bridge of his ship, "You will start by facing your higher-ups when you speak to them," He seethed, then he pointed to a second helmsman "And you will prepare my Sith Interceptor for immediate departure." Then he looked to the man standing to the right of his throne," You, shall come with me to my quarters apprentice, I have an important job for you"

As soon as the doors to his quarters closed a scream of agony tore from the apprentices lips…..
