Disclaimer: I don't claim to own anything other than this story and the way it was written, idea for story goes to whereever it should go to except those parts that are uniquely mine.
Anyway, I don't plan to follow the Bioware storyline exactly, that would be dumb, but this would outline the game and spoil whatever interesting parts of the game there is. So read it if you're not going to buy the game. It'll fill you in on the Star Wars universe.
Part Two: Carth and a Dream
"There are two platoons beyond this door," Travis said, "It'll be a slaughter if we go in."
"Then what do we do? Is there another way to the bridge?"
"No, but I think I have an idea, see that computer over there?" he pointed at a console by the wall, "We can use it to force an explosive cache to self destruct in the next room, that should cause some casualties, don't you think?" Travis grinned, "But I'm not very good with computers, and I heard that you were, so you'll have to take care of that."
Francis headed over to the console, flipping through the controls, "There's no mechanism for an explosion here."
Travis came over, "Well of course not, who would put such a thing on the surface, the mechanism is deep in the code, you'll have to hack it. Use those," Travis pointed at some strange looking spikes, "they're computer spikes, they'll do the job."
After a few minutes poking around, Francis spotted the security cameras on the ship, a few minutes later, he came to the one that he wanted, Travis was right, there was a lot of Sith in the next room. Quickly, Francis spotted the explosive cache, and triggered it. There was a deafening explosion, and through the camera, Francis saw seven of the Sith perish, only one red armored and two black armored was left.
Travis opened the door and sprang on the remaining Sith with surprise on his side. A few blaster bolts and slashes was enough to eliminate them. Loot was collected.
The pair left the room and came onto another hallway, patrols were killed, and then onto the bridge. The bridge was entirely Sith dominated, two whole platoons plus a couple of officers. Travis and Francis fired their blaster shots, but was clearly outnumbered. Fate saved them, because at this point, the main piloting controls choose to explode, killing all the Sith but left Francis and Travis unscathed.
Travis stared at the scene, looking over the dead. "Well Bastilla isn't here in the bridge, she must've used one of the escape pods already."
Travis gestured to another door, "Come, this well take us starboard, those escape pods over there are away from the Sith cannons, let's go, but be careful, the stuff here still is unstable, let's get out of before anything else blows up."
The pair exited by that door and entered into another hallway, they sprint toward starboard. At that moment, a door opened and a dark Jedi entered the hallway. A look of determination came across Travis's face as he charged the Jedi, using the force of surprise and shoved him into another room.
"Go Starboard!" he yelled, "Carth is waiting for you there! I'll try to hold off the Dark Jedi as long as I can!"
Francis tried the blast door separating him from Travis and the Dark Jedi, but it was slammed shut. Beyond, he can heard the clashes of lightsaber against vibroswords.
With a grunt, Francis sprint starboard and met Carth.
"Francis right?" Francis nodded.
"This is Carth Onais", he said "This is the only escape pod left, we'll use it to get off the ship and to Taris, come on!"
Carth climbed aboard the thing and Francis followed, in a moment, both were hurling through space with the other debris from the Endar Spire.
Zhiummmm, Clash, clash. Lightsabers flashing, a woman, dark robes.
"Ugh", Francis groaned. "What happened?"
His eyes adjusted to the dim surroundings, found himself in bed, in a small compartment, laying on the couch was Carth, the mysterious man who saved him.
Carth got up and walked over, "Bad dream huh?"
Francis made to gesture to yes. "Where are we?"
"We're on Taris, in the Upper City, in a small apartment that I managed to secure for us. You got pretty banged up in the landing, but I was able to get us to a hospital to get us fixed up. Then we came here, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I think I'm fine, what can you tell me about this place?"
"Taris? I'm not sure, but from what I hear, Taris used to be a sprawling galactic hub until new Hyperspace routes took it out of business, we're in the upper city now, the place where the rich folks live. Most of the non-humans are in the Lower City, it's mostly dominated by swoop gangs and such, if we want to find Bastilla, we should head for the Lower Cities, most likely she's in the hands of one of the swoop gangs. We can use this apartment as base, come here for rest and such, but we should really be going after Bastilla."
"What's so special about Bastilla?"
"Are you out of your mind? Bastilla has mastered Battle Mediation, a crucial force power that allowed the Jedi to board Darth Revan's ship, if not for her, we would all be long goners."
Francis nodded, trying to absorb the wealth of information that he had just been given, "It sounds like we should go and try to find Bastilla right away."
Carth nodded in agreement, "That would be best."
