CHAPTER ONE: INTRO - THE HEART OF THE REPUBLICFALLS

Ten years had past after the defeat of Darth Malak and his Star Forge. During that time, the Ebon Hawk crew had decided to go their separate ways and the Republic remained on the edge of chaos. The Republic's finest heroes, Revan and Bastila had reached the rank of Jedi Knight and had the privilege to be the advisors to the Republic Senate. The Jedi Council had welcomed back Bastila amongst the council and made Revan their new Jedi Council member.
Two years later after the victory of the first Star Forge destruction, Bastila Shan returned to Coruscant where she saw her mother Helena. She arrived in time and had spent a brief moment with her mother before she died on her arms inside the Coruscant hospital. After the death of her mother, Bastila had returned to the Jedi High Council based on Coruscant where she turned to her love, Revan, for comfort.
Juhani and Jolee rejoined the Jedi Order and continued on with their Jedi training based on Coruscant, where they'd gained more abilities with the Force by the guidance and influence of a Jedi Council member named Master Yuko. Meanwhile somewhere further across the galaxy, Mission Vao and her wookie companion Zaalbar had returned to the old homeworld of Taris seeing the aftermath from the Sith occupation. Mission mourned for the loss of her friends and companions she once had but with the Republic rebuilding the once romantic homeworld, Taris slowly was, restored to its former beauty.
Taris wasn't the only planet being rebuilt from the Republic, across the other side of the galaxy, the planet Telos was under planetary restoration as well. The restoration process of those planets slowly progressed, as all the buildings once stood from the reign of terror of Darth Malak and his cult, had been rebuilt to a better and more thriving civilization, where it had reclaimed its former glory.
Meanwhile the Jedi Knights of the Republic had been busily rebuilding their forces. They trained new Jedi recruits to learn the ways of the Force, and reconstructed the Jedi Academy on Dantooine. Their leader, Master Vandar led the remnants of the Jedi Order as they continued to rebuild the Jedi Academy that once stood on Dantooine, but as years dragged on, the Jedi Council had declared all Jedi Knights must be ready for any upcoming war or threats that come across the galaxy.
As part of this new development, Dantooine had been transformed into their main fortress for the Jedi, with a large super structured shipyard base had been established over the planet's atmosphere. A large Jedi fleet had been constructed. The Jedi became a thriving empire as the Sith once was back during the dark times of their Sith Lords, as far as the reign of Marka Ragnos.
Three years later after the victory of the first Star Forge destruction, Canderous the Mandalorian, had joined the Republic defence force for some serious action due to his thirst for battle. He served as a lieutenant, commanding a squad of his own troops. While Carth Onasi managed to reunite with his son Dustil on Telos, after a few months later both Carth and Dustil managed to set aside their differences and enjoyed a father and son relationship during the times of peace.
Six years later had passed after the first Star Forge destruction. Back on Coruscant, the Republic reconstructed their fleets at a secret location using a facility located somewhere deep in the outer rim while the main Republic fleet remained guiding their homeworld of Coruscant in case the Sith will strike back.
Meanwhile somewhere hidden in the galactic rim, despite the Republic's triumphant victory at the Star Forge and the death of their former Dark Lord of the Sith, the Sith were beaten but not lost. Ten years ago before the destruction of the Star Forge, Bastila stopped using her Battle Meditation when she learnt that Revan had won the battle against Darth Malak. During the final stages of the battle as the Republic had withdrawn, the three Sith Battleships had managed to escape before the Star Forge had been destroyed.
The remnants of the Sith kilt had secretly rebuilt their fleet with the aid of a few planets from the outer rim that were loyal to their cause, they provided the Sith with resources they needed for the next upcoming war. During the past six years the Sith had created a new fleet of tens of thousands of warships at a secretive location hidden from the Republic home worlds of the inner rim without them being aware of this secret development.
Despite with the death of Darth Malak, a corrupted Jedi Knight, formerly a war hero during the Exar Kun wars, Darth Thorak claimed the mantle and title of Dark Lord of the Sith. Dressed like her former pupil who once was the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Revan, covered in her black and red armoured suit as she hid her identity. She had become a powerful Sith Dark Lord as she influenced other worlds to join the Sith to send a destructive response to the Republic.
Two years later during this dark hour, the Sith secretly decided as they had reclaimed their homeworld of Korriban. Leading the Sith exploration fleet, Darth Thorak discovered the planet of Korriban was abandoned and not occupied by the Republic. The Sith had reconstructed their homeworld by planting new facilities and weapons in preparation for war. Darth Thorak visited the tombs of the previous Sith Lords as she uncovered an ancient artifact of the once Infinite Empire that existed many millennia ago.
With the sudden temptation of the darkside soothing her soul, she hungered for more power to crush the Republic. Thorak discovered from the ancient artifact, the Star Map had revealed that there was a second Star Forge somewhere hidden in the galaxy. With the sudden discovery, she was bound to find it but she needed help with some advanced technology to turn it into her favour, a hidden artifact that was discovered beneath the planet's surface of Korriban.
Meanwhile three years later with the galaxy remained peaceful, both the Republic and Jedi Council were unaware of the Sith's recent development. With Darth Thorak had discovered the Star Map on Korriban, she had uncovered the other four without being seen or heard. Suddenly a recent breakthrough had been made, the Sith scientists achieved their breakthrough discovering a way to adapt the ancient artifact found on Korriban. It was the technology of cloning and fast breeding, a new age for the Sith was born, an evolution for the Sith. The Sith homeworld of Korriban now reborn with a thriving Empire under their Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Thorak.
Thorak had secretly established new trading routes in the outer rim, hidden away from the knowledge of the Republic until one day, a small Republic exploration fleet had discovered the Sith's presence in the outer rim. From that moment on, the ten years of peace had been shattered as the galaxy stood on the edge to the brink of war, between the darkness verses the forces of the light. The Sith quickly reacted and had crushed the Republic exploration taskforce within minutes, despite their victory. The Dark Lord of the Sith knew that this was the beginning for the return of the Sith and there was no turning back.
Meanwhile somewhere back in the Republic territories, the Republic had learnt from the Sith's victory in the outer rim, several smugglers, scouts, pirates or mislead Republic solders were recruited as they had joined the Sith Empire and betrayed the Republic.
Three years later had gone passed after the recent events. The Republic continued to reconstruct their fleets after the battle of the Star Forge, while majority of their resources were devoted to the redevelopment of the planets of Telos and Taris. The Republic was in disarray as they tried repeatedly by sending out Senators and other Diplomats to established peace and order throughout the galaxy. Additionally with the sudden Sith encounter, the Republic Senate had remained vigilant.
The situation however remained grim for the Republic, as more planets had joined the Sith. While on Dantooine, Revan and Bastila soon discovered that their relationship meant a lot more than they first thought, also the challenge that awaited them. The Jedi Order soon thrived as Master Vandar and his Jedi Order had recruited and trained more pupils to maintain the peace and order throughout the galaxy.
Carth returned to Coruscant after he successfully reunited with his son Dustil and established his trust in him again. After a few days rest, Carth reassigned with the Republic defence force, transporting goods to and from Dantooine. Mission and Zaalbar had left Taris and went to Kashyyyk for a brief visit. Zaalbar had reunited with his father and told him he still owed his friend a life debt and asked him to hold the sacred sword for safekeeping until he officially decided that he wanted to live. After his visit was brief, both Mission and Zaalbar had returned to Dantooine where they reunited with Revan and Bastila.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Galactic Rim, Darth Thorak, Dark Lord of the Sith stood firm on the bridge deck of her commandship the Sith Battleship, Devastator. Her ship was enormous at least 5 km long by 2km wide, the leading ship ahead of the Sith armada. She prepared to unleash their full-scale war on the Republic by delivering a message on their homeworld of Coruscant.
Their intension was to avenged the death of Darth Malak and their massive defeat of their fellow Sith warriors by unleashing the full fury of the Sith but there was something else lacking behind it. The Dark Lord herself had plotted that she wanted Revan captured and turned to the darkside, so she would become an indestructible Jedi with him at her side. After achieving that goal, the Sith would retake the Republic worlds and make the Republic government no more.
On board of the Devastator bridge deck, the Dark Lord had her arms crossed as she looked out her prideful fleet as they were about to strike. Standing beside her was a former Republic Admiral named Admiral Carson. The Dark Lord trusted him as she commanded her loyal officer to notify the fleet that it was time to make their move. She looked at the Admiral, "Now it's time Admiral… launch the fury of the Sith on the Republic and show no mercy," Thorak said anxiously.
"As you command my lord," Carson replied.
Far above the skies of Republic homeworld Coruscant, heart of the Republic, the Republic fleet remained at their readiness as they closely orbited their homeworld in their defencesive positions. Then the war began… as the Sith armada had jumped out of hyperspace and filled the stars across the horizon with their warships, covering the dark side of the planet.
Approaching Coruscant, the Sith fighters swarmed in on the battlefield as they approached the defiant Republic fleet. On the other side of the planet, the Republic defence fleet responded as they had scrambled their snub fighters into action. Despite their efforts, the Sith fleet continued to arrive from hyperspace, the Republic armada was no match for the Sith. On board the Republic commandship, Freedom, Admiral Forn Dodonna, hero of the Star Forge, commanded the remnants of the defiant Republic as she ordered her fleet to "…stand and fight till the end, no surrender, and no retreat," she cried.
The words of the Admiral comforted her crew, but not the billons of people on the streets of Coruscant that remained at stake. The major populace had went into panic as they ran for cover, but the chaos on the streets of fear shook up the citizens with the arrival of the Sith invasion force. During the chaos, some of the member's of the Jedi Council had fled the scene, while other Jedi Knights had decided to stay and fight to defend the Republic from the bitter darkness of hell.
While the Sith had pressed on their attack, forcing the Republic fleet at every turn to fall back. The Sith Battleship Devastator unleashed her awesome firepower on the surface below. As the red lasers sonic boomed across the planet roaring in as the blast had created a large crated on the skyscrapers of Coruscant that was reduced to dust, while other buildings were on flames. Within minutes, the entire Sith battlefleet loomed over the bruised Coruscant and as they focused their massive firepower on the Senate, sending down their fury with an invasion force of Sith fighters, bombers and transports.
The invasion force of Sith fighters, bombers and transports plunged to the planet's surface, as the Republic's planetary defence grid of turrets opened fire in all directions desperately trying to hold the line. Despite their efforts, the Sith strike force had managed to break though as the Sith warships high above had destroyed the defence grid.
With the Republic defence grid useless and gone into shambles, the Jedi Knights gazed upon the sky where they waited for the Sith invasion force to land on the planet's surface. The Sith transports landed on the surface and flung wide opened their doors, while the Republic troops heard the voices of the enemy roared down inside the transports, there appeared in broad daylight near the corridor where the sun had shined on it. Sith troopers and Dark Jedi Knights appeared as they raced out their transports to meet the Republic soldiers and its protectors, the Jedi Knights.
The Republic Soldiers had opened fired in a line abreast formation, covered fire across the street attacking the Sith strike force ahead of them, hoping that they had slowed down their assault. Sith bombers roared behind the defiant Republic soldiers as they continued to throw every rifle, pistol, grenade or viroblade they had at their disposal.
Within moments later, the bombers had dropped their plasma bombs delivered an echoing blast that had slaughtered the Republic soldier defence, crushed their entrenched defence at every turn. The protectors of the Republic, the Jedi Knights provided cover on the right flank holding off the Sith Dark Jedi Knights. The battle escalated as above them were the Sith and Republic battlefleet that fought every inch by inch of space. The Republic fleet's situation was hopeless and looked grim, overwhelmed by the invincible Sith armada.
Admiral Dodonna's ship was backed into a corner as the Sith armada had surrounded them, closed their escape route. No escape for her but she was determined to fight on. The Republic battlefleet was split in half, no matter how hard they tried to stop the Sith battlefleet, every ship they destroyed, 20 more Sith warships replaced it. The Republic fleet had faced their doom at every turn.
Admiral Dodonna desperately made her serious decision as she swept her pride and arrogance behind her. She thought that she could defeat the Sith, much as she hated retreating from battle. She reluctantly gave the order to the remaining Republic fleet, "All Republic ships, concentrate all your firepower to break a hole through their lines, we have to retreat and regroup elsewhere," Dodonna said reluctantly. "Send the general code signal of retreat to all Republic forces here at Coruscant."
At that same moment, the crew of the Freedom looked at the Admiral, they were in doubt with her desperate order, but they knew that the risks were too great. The remaining Republic Cruisers and Destroyers managed to broke a hole through in the tightened Sith lines, then the Republic fleet had began withdrawing from the battlefield.
During the desperation attack, Admiral Dodonna's ship was crippled and she had no choice but reluctantly ordered her crew to abandon ship. She also had sent a message to the defiant Republic soldiers on Coruscant to retreat. The young Admiral and her crew had left their posts and made their way for their escape pods. With the order had been given, Dodonna was the last to leave the bridge she looked back for a moment. Then she ran to the hangar bay where she found her Snub Fighter craft. She had spent a quick moment looking around what was left of the ship.
Reluctantly, the Admiral had no choice but to leave and fight on another day. She jumped into the cockpit as the hangar bay was shaking with debris and shrapnel falling all around her. Running out of time, Dodonna had fired up her engines as her craft lifted into the air and roared out the Freedom's hangar bay. The frightened Admiral had glanced back at her ship, within minutes she had witness the Republic's commandship had blown up liked a supernova. "You have not beaten us yet Sith, I swear we will get you for this," Dodonna said angrily.
Back on Coruscant, the Republic Soldiers received word that their fleet had been given the order of retreat, the troops immediately pulled back and they begun their retreat for the transports to escape the planet and regroup elsewhere. Somewhere near the Senate Dome palace, a large group of Republic soldiers were under fire by the Sith invasion force. Amongst the soldiers, Canderous, the same mercenary from Taris, served as Republic soldier.
The battlefield on the streets of Coruscant had gone in a blazing situation. Canderous and his men fought street by street, holding off the Sith invasion force. Within moments, they came across one street where Mission and her wookie companion, Zaalbar, were providing covered fire for the Republic soldiers near a Tavern.
Canderous shouted as he waved at Mission trying to get her attention. "Mission, over here," Canderous shouted. Mission ducked her head as she slammed herself behind an iron crate narrowly escaped some of the Sith laser blasters. She turned around to her left where she had saw Canderous on the other side of the street. Plenty of blaster fire screamed past each other from both sides of the street.
"Canderous, hold on I'm coming," Mission yelled.
The daring Twel'lek had thrown a large concussion grenade at the Sith as she ran towards Canderous and his remaining Republic soldiers. The grenade exploded with a quick flash of lightning, which had knocked down their opponents unconsciously. Mission and Zaalbar had reunited with Canderous. "No time to chat, the Republic fleet are retreating and all Republic forces are ordered to retreat. Follow me," Canderous remarked.
The three reunited friends ran off to another street where they saw the entrance to the docking ring where shuttles docked there. They ran persistently, Mission was tired as she gasped for breath and looked at Canderous she spoke, "I never thought I would see you again. Look at you, you are a Republic soldier," Mission said honestly.
Canderous grinned and replied, "gasp Yeah it has been a long time Mission since we've seen each other. But…" Just ahead of them, the Sith bombardment had destroyed four more buildings. The debris felled on the streets everywhere, Zaalbar quickly reacted by grabbing his companion, Mission and covered over her from the incoming debris.
The debris felled upon the determined fighters, "Canderous!" Mission screamed aloud. As they slammed themselves to the floor, Canderous had received a fractured right shoulder and a bruised right foot. Within moments later the dust had cleared, nevertheless Zaalbar heard Canderous screamed his pain in agony. The scruffy wookie had picked him up on his left shoulder while Mission stood up and they continued running again.
Within minutes, they approached the docking ring, explosions of buildings and Republic and Sith weapons roared as it grew louder and intense as the heroes came closer to getting out of there. After a few minutes of evading the blasters, the three companions saw the last shuttlecraft. Canderous pointed his left hand at the shuttle he recognised, "That's the last one, we must escape. This is our chance, hurry," Canderous shouted.
Mission looked at Zaalbar, "Come on Zaalbar, there is no time to waste," she replied, rushing through the wreckage.
They finally got inside the Republic shuttlecraft with a few other Republic and Jedi soldiers who accompanied them. Mission had rushed herself into the cockpit and fired up the engines. Within moments the shuttle had lifted off as the Sith blasters narrowly missed it, she flew the shuttle out into space escaping Coruscant making a quick jump into hyperspace. While the Sith bombardment ceased as the battered Republic forces flees.
Despite they had achieved a small victory there at Coruscant. Back on the Sith Battleship Devastator, Admiral Carson approached Darth Thorak and knelt before her, giving his report. "My lord, the Republic has been beaten. Coruscant now is in ruins as you requested. The remaining Republic warships had managed to breakthrough our lines and had withdrawn from battle. We had reports that Coruscant put up a major resistance. There are still reports of the remaining Republic soldiers are not surrendering. We have been bringing the fight them on the streets and using every advantage of out maneuvering their defence at every turn," Carson said softly.
The Dark Lord watched the Republic fleet had made their retreat, she ordered her warships not to pursue them and let the Republic fled from their fears. With virtually majority of the buildings on Coruscant laid in ruins, the Dark Lord had instructed her Admiral to cease the bombardment and send the remains of their invasion force to take over the planet and fortified it with their own command post. She clinched her left fist as she looked at Coruscant and spoked, "Excellent Admiral. What about the Jedi Council?" she asked.
"My lord, there are no reports of the Jedi Council as yet. But…" Carson said.
He was soon interrupted by a Sith officer as he whispered to the Admiral's ear. Carson looks at his master and smiled, "Forgive my lord. Some good news, we have captured one Jedi Knight, his name is Master Yuko."
The Dark lord grinned, "Bring him to me Admiral."
The Admiral saluted her, "As you wish," Carson replied.
The injured Master Yuko, was locked in a cell in a Sith shuttlecraft sitting there and waiting. Master Yuko looked up with a blink of an eye as he gazed out towards the shielded window, where he saw the Sith fleet. At that very moment, he soon felt the presence of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Her enormous darkside power he felt that made him aware he was going to be confronted one way or another.
Meanwhile somewhere on Dantooine, the Jedi Academy was finally been rebuilt and ready for the next phase. Jedi Master Vandar continued to teach the ways of the Force while, Jedi Knight's Bastila and Revan continued to rebuild their relationship with each other. Carth, Juhani, Jolee, and the droids remained on the Ebon Hawk.
Suddenly inside the Ebon Hawk, a static transmission sounded as the transmission itself had slightly displayed a fussy frequency video picture of Admiral Dodonna. Carth, Jolee, and Juhani heard the transmission from the engine room and walked towards the communication room. It was Admiral Dodonna, "Attention… all Republic forces…"
Carth, Jolee, and Juhani stood there watching the static transmission. "the Sith… have… taken… Coruscant…all troops are… to… be… advised… at… these coordinates… we need you" then the transmission faded. The three heroes looked at each other in disbelief Carth, Jolee, and Juhani were astonished as the transmission faded. Carth was astonished as he commented, "Did you hear that? Coruscant has been…" he said.
Jolee interrupted, "Yes I know sonny, and we heard it."
Juhani checked with the transmission log then she spoke, "If this is right, it would appeared that the Republic had been thrown out of Coruscant by the Sith."
"That's one way on saying it. But..." Carth replied, "sighed does Bastila or Revan know about it?"
"I don't think so, and we should mention it to them," Jolee pointed out.
"Well let's go," Carth replied.
As Carth and the others left the Ebon Hawk, they searched for their companions. Somewhere on the Jedi complex, Bastila and Revan confessed with one another as there emotions took into place, they kissed and hugged each other. As the pair were unaware of their friends approaching, Carth and the others arrived where the intimately showed their emotions.
Jolee cleared his throat and said, "Eh… ahem would you happen to see a lovely couple by the name of Revan and Bastila around here?" Bastila and Revan opened their eyes and realised they had been watched by their friends. "Huh? Jolee, Juhani, and Carth, eh… this was unexpected, what are you doing here?" Bastila asked, awkwardly.
"Oh come on, and we know what you two are up to," Jolee laughed.
"Yeah it looked like you that were going at it Revan," Carth admitted, laughing.
Revan blushed, while Bastila was ashamed. Juhani shook her head, "Sigh don't mind Jolee and Carth, they are just jealous," she said.
Carth snorted, "Jealous? Let me tell you missy who is -"
Jolee intervened, placing his left arm firmly on Carth's right shoulder restraining him, "Easy lad. At least Revan and Bastila are doing okay. Mind you, I had a wife once… sigh it's a long story I'd rather not talk about it my jaw hurts. Anyhow Revan and Bastila, we came looking for you to bring some bad news."
Revan answered, "Oh? What is this about?"
"We received a scrambled message from Admiral Dodonna. It would appear the Sith have invaded and conquered Coruscant," Carth replied.
"What?" Bastila asked.
"Just let me finish Bastila…" Carth said and continued with his reply, "… Coruscant has been taken over by the Sith, the Republic fleet is in ruins but they are on the run. We have the coordinates that would give us a lead to meet the remaining Republic fleet."
Revan and Bastila were shocked to hear the news. Then Revan approached him as he asked, "Did the Admiral mention why and what happened, who was behind it all?"
Carth replied, "No. That's all the transmission gave us."
Bastila stared at her love as she asked him, "Revan. I think it would be wise to mention this to Master Vandar, he might know about the situation?"
"It would be wise enough as it is Bastila. We can't go on this mission blindly. I will speak with Master Vandar," Revan replied, he turned around and started walking down the corridor. The Force suddenly sent a grudge on his mind unexpectedly he stopped for a moment and muttered, "Come to think of it, I wonder what happened to Mission and Zaalbar? Hope they are alright."
Bastila questioned her love's motived, "Do you think we should investigate this to see if Mission has survived or not?" Bastila asked.
Revan felt Bastila's feelings, seeking for the truth, "Mission has been a good team member Bastila. Don't forget that, my emotions are focused on the bond and love we share. Anyway, I must be going and speak with Master Vandar first and see what he has to say," Revan replied.
Revan turned his face to the left as he looked at Bastila and continued talking, "I will say for one thing. I was disturbed by a strange tremor in the Force as if I'd felt a disturbance in the Force before I spoke with you Bastila."
Bastila looked at him and replied, "Are you implying that you felt it before I made love with you or after?"
Revan looked at her with as he replied, "My love is paranoid. I felt absolutely fine when I kissed you."
Bastila scrunched her face as she slapped him, Revan was stunned by her reaction, as he rubbed his sore left cheek, "What was that for?"
Bastila turned her back on him with her arms crossed "hmph…"
Revan calmly smoothens to Bastila, "Bastila, believe me you don't want to be mad at me. That leads to the darkside remember? Do not let your emotions bring up the hatred that's within you. You have to stay strong. Despite whatever you may feel."
Bastila crossed her arms together as shed faced Revan with a smile, "You know my love, you are right. I can't hate you forever because… you're so you adorable, you know…"
Revan understood her as he was flattered with her response, he swallowed his throat as he replied, "gulp Well it that case, you have flattered me enough as. Just kiss me," Bastila gave into his response, as Carth shrugged his shoulders, "whispered here they go again." As both Bastila and Revan kissed again, Jolee replied "That is so sweet… ahem Revan what was this disturbance you felt?"
Revan continued, "Well that disturbance I'd felt was like as if someone came back to life and as if was resurrected somehow and became one within the force."
Carth frowned and asked, "One with the Force? I don't understand."
Bastila raised her left eyebrow and said, "Are you implying the one with the prophecy of the force?"
Revan frowned, "I'm not sure."
Carth interrupted, "Whoa wait a sec here. Time out, what do you mean by one with the Force? Are you implying there is another prodigal knight out there somewhere?" Revan answered, "It's possible."
"Revan, there is only one prodigal knight and that is you as have been spoken by the Jedi Council," Bastila replied, frowning.
"I read once from an ancient text book, the book of Ju'kan. It spoke of a prophecy of a great Jedi Knight who became one with the force. There were two to begin with, a conqueror, and a savior. Much as I would like to explain the story but… to explain this in lame terms, that is how two casts we formed," Revan replied.
Carth nodded his head and replied with a positive answer, "So what you are saying Revan is that, the conqueror and savior knights are been referred to as the Sith and the Jedi Knights?"
"That's what I've read," Revan smiled.
"That's rather an interesting case when you think of it. Sith believed in conquering whilst the Jedi is a savior of the galaxy. Ever since then, the Jedi become more ambitious to keep the two common laws, the peace and order in the galaxy. Now with the war…" Juhani said.
Jolee jumped in, "Admittedly I agree with you Juhani. The Sith and Jedi never had get along since the galaxy was formed, the two great powers never become one. I don't believe in tales of one within the Force that gives me, this old man something to fear about."
"Okay, much as I would like to stay here a bit longer, I must speak with Master Vandar on the recent developments," Revan replied.
As Revan approaches the Jedi Throne room of the academy, Master Vandar was waiting for him in the corridor. "Revan, you wish to speak with me?" asked Vandar.
"Yes Master Vandar, I have a question," Revan replied.
"Is this about the Republic fleet? Coruscant and the darkness that has arrived recently?" asked the knowledgeable Master.
"How did you know?" asked Revan.
"You opened your thoughts Revan. I sensed it through you. While you received the news from Carth, I have gathered information from other Jedi through in getting confirmation on it. sigh It's just as I feared after the battle on the Star Forge. The Sith have sworn revenge and their might and arrogance consumed the fate of the Republic. Despite our victory, I thought we'd crushed the Sith forces under Malak's command. It cost us greatly…" Vandar said reluctantly.
Revan was confused as he asked his master, "At what cost you mean?"
Master Vandar frowned as he replied, "You see Revan. Since defeating the Star Forge and the death of there former Dark Lord of the Sith. The Sith swore revenge and declared war against the Republic and its followers."
"Please go on…," insisted Revan.
"Despite our victory, the Republic has grown weak. Weak from the Mandalorian Wars and now even much weaker from the Malak's Star Forge," replied Vandar.
"Are you saying the Republic's fate is yet to be determined out of this master?" Revan asked.
Master Vandar shrugs his shoulders and replies, "Revan. There is a new Dark Lord of the Sith, her name is Darth Thorak. Do you remember?"
Revan surprised by the sudden name as he replied, "That name does sound familiar."
Vandar frowned, "Of course it does sigh you see Revan. When the council wiped out your real identity, we gave you another chance to do things right. Your thoughts and memories are coming back into place each day, like the battle you had with Bastila when you once were the Dark Lord…"
Revan interrupted, "…what does this have to do with me?" he asked.
"Everything Revan," Vandar replied.
Revan shrugged his shoulders, "…forgive me I don't understand master."
"There is still hope for you Revan," Vandar smiled.
Revan replied with a question, "You were saying of Darth Thorak?"
Vandar turned his back on the persistent Jedi Knight and looked out the window towards the horizon as the sun sets over the hills.
"Yes I was saying about Thorak. Thorak used to be your Jedi Master before she had fallen to the darkside. She had a special gift liked you were, Revan. A promising determined pupil of the Force. She believed she would be the first to become one within the Force."
Revan stood there and was shocked as Vandar continues speaking, "…Darth Thorak used to be a prodigal Jedi Knight, conceived with desirable powers. Now she has become a conqueror of the force by betraying the Jedi Council wishes. You on the other hand, did not take the understanding of the prophecy tale of the Jedi lightly, as you chose a different path. You were described as a Savoir, not a conqueror but you eventually fell to the darkside for your ignorance of being so determined of finding the Star Forge."
The confused Revan replied, "You mean to say, out of all this time. The prophecy refers to the prodigal knights of the Force, this case, Thorak and I?"
Vandar replied, "Yes." Revan walked up to the window and looked out to the horizon, "…the destiny of Jedi is always ongoing. But what does the prophecy mean by One with the Force?"
Vandar looked at him as he replied, "The prophecy explains when two prodigal knights rejoin together, they become one with the Force. Your destiny being a Jedi will be determined depending by your fate of the path of the Force you have chosen. However, I can't tell what will happen to you but Thorak must be stopped. Her power has caused a major turn to the Republic."
Revan asked the wisdomed master, "Master, what you suggest I do?"
"Your emotions towards Bastila and the bond you share with her mustn't stop, as this makes you stay on the path of the light. Revenge will only cause you pain and suffering. Do not give into your hatred. sigh you must be strong for yourself and Bastila's sake," Vandar replied.
Revan frowned, "I sense there is more to it…," he said reluctantly.
"sigh It's true. Revan, fearing that you will be captured and tortured by the new Dark Lord of the Sith. You must confront the corrupted prodigal knight and your destiny with become clear but I can't help you. The fates of the prodigal knight are in yours and Thorak's hands. Should you fall to the darkside, there is no hope of saving you before the darkside has consumed you," Vandar said reluctantly.
Revan stood back and said, "Looks like I have no choice."
The disappointed Jedi Master Vandar looked at his Jedi Knight and said, "Revan… you must know. There is another prodigal knight and only she will save you. Thorak doesn't know this yet. In time you will know it. Now go, you must find Admiral Dodonna's fleet and I will explain to you what you must do from there."
"As you wish Master Vandar," Revan replied, bowing at his master.
Revan walked out of the thrown room, as the door opened was Bastila standing at the entrance. Bastila looked at her love as she asked, "What did Master Vandar said my love?"
Revan smiled, "He told me a few things concerned him and asked me to keep it between him and the Jedi Council."
Bastila frowned, "What is he concerned about?" she asked.
Revan stared at his determined lover, "Bastila… I love you and the bond we share, Master Vandar made a request that our love mustn't stop. He did mention to me though, who was behind the attack on Coruscant and asked me to aid the Republic."
Bastila was astonished with Revan's response, she sensed that her love was disturbed with something else, "I see… well you made your point that you love me and this bond we share. But I sense something wrong with you Revan, are you alright?" she asked.
Revan briefly looked at her and said reluctantly, "No Bastila. It's alright. I'd prefer if we discuss it another time."
Bastila smiled with the sign of relief as she replied, "Of course my love. Anyway, we should be going. Let's go and meet with Carth and the others on the Ebon Hawk to find the remaining Republic fleet." Bastila and Revan run to the Ebon Hawk and the ship sores into space and jumps into hyperspace.
