Two weeks, two weeks has past since his fight with Jade. In those two weeks he had not had the chance to make his final move against Sidious and Dooku. Soon, though, soon he would finish them off. The only question was how? How and where should he do it? Sidious was away on duties for the Senate. Soon, though, soon he would be back and that would be when he would make his move.

He looked away from the window of his new room aboard the Guran Keina; an action that he had grew accustomed to over the weeks. He quickly dressed and exited his room.

He took the long way to the bridge, just to take up more time. Following the twists and turns he eventually came upon the door leading to the bridge.

"Greetings, captain," Reven said upon entering.

"Greetings, Reven," he replied, not looking up from his data pad.

As Reven approached the captain he looked around and noticed several people staring at him, scared. One of them that he spotted seemed to be deliberately avoiding Reven's gaze. Hiding behind a data pad or just plain facing away from him. This man, he realized, must have been the same lieutenant that he had told he would kill if he ever saw him again. The fact that he had remembered what he had told him made Reven chuckle inwardly.

"Anything new on the front?" Reven asked as he came to the captain.

"We have lost two more systems to the Republic," he replied coldly, putting the data pad away, almost as if he didn't want Reven to see it.

"When will my master be returning?" Reven asked.

"Within the hour, and he wants to meet you in his thrown room an hour after he arrives, no sooner."

"Alright," Reven drifted off into deep thought, but quickly snapped back, "Is there anything else?"

"No, Reven, nothing more," the captain replied even colder than usual.

Reven walked out of the bridge, perplexed. He hadn't expected Sidious to pick up on his attempts, yet, maybe he hasn't. The captain seemed colder and more distant today than usual. And what was on that data pad he had? Why had he hid it? It was obvious that he did it on purpose, and he saw that he brought it back out after he turned and left. That data pad could have held information that told the captain of his treachery. That would explain why he seemed so much colder than he did before.

These questions plagued his mind. He searched for answers as he walked to see Mara Jade. He was unfocused, tuned out to the rest of the world, so he never saw it coming. His head crashed against something and he fell to the ground. Opening his eyes he looked at what had ran into him, or rather, what he had ran into. He had walked too far and he had missed his turn. Because of his mistake he had hit a wall.

He rubbed the sore part of his head as he stood and turned around. He walked a little bit further, making sure not to miss the turn this time. He hadn't gone far before he slowed to a stop. More thoughts passed through his mind. Thoughts of how to handle what he must do and an idea popped into his mind.

He turned around and headed back to the wall he had crashed into. He only took a quick glance at it, but that, and some time to think, was all that he needed. He had gone farther than he had expected. In fact, on his way back he passed the turn he needed to make to go visit Mara as he had planned.

"Exactly as I though," Reven muttered.

About six feet off the ground where two gold plates, one on top of the other with black letters etched into them. They both read 'Gunnery' with arrows pointing in both directions. He took the left, for that is where he would have to execute his plot. There were only a few people occupying the room, but that wouldn't matter for his plot. He could easily make them leave, or kill them if need be. He walked directly behind one of the turrets, avoiding the awkward stares from the operators.

This would be perfect. Reven thought, looking out the view-port.

He thought about it some more. There would be advantages. They would be killed in just a few hits. Yet the captain would send droids after the first shot, although he could easily blast through them. The real question is whether or not he would be able to escape after such a ploy. If he could wipe them out in the thrown room, he could probably be out of here, with Mara, before they noticed, or, at least a little after.

Although if he could kill them before they land, it would be a plus. The less work, the better. Although a great plan, he didn't think it would work. Also he wanted to see them die. He wanted to look into their eyes as they drew they final breath, and he wanted to draw out Dooku's death as long as he possibly could.

He sighed and shook his head almost unnoticeably.

"Is there something wrong, sir?" one of the operators asked.

"No," Reven replied, leaving before they could say anything in response.

The gunnery incident was behind him now, now that he was holding Mara in his arms once again. She was asleep; she looked so cute while she was sleeping. He couldn't believe the beauty in a child, something so small, yet so beautiful. Seeing this, being here, doing what he was doing made him feel really bad for what he did, now. But if he didn't, Jade may never have gotten a chance to see and hold Mara.

"Don't worry, young one. You'll see your mother soon enough," he assured her as she started to wake up.

"Sorry, Reven, but you need to leave now," one of the nurses said, entering once again.

Reven gave her a very evil look. He had only had just over ten minutes alone with her. But he reluctantly put Mara down and left the room, but not without sending one more evil look the nurse's way.

He once again found himself staring out the window of his bedroom. It seemed that is what he always did when he wasn't in the bridge, with Mara or with his Mentor, nay, his enemy. Soon he spotted something moving off the forward bow of the ship.

Glancing over he noticed that it was a landing ship.

"So, he has finally come," Reven muttered, "I could still make it to the gunnery in time. No, no, that would be too easy, I established that already."

He shook his head and once again stared out blankly into space. Yet, he couldn't help but glance back and stare at the ship until it finally landed.

"One hour. It will all be over in just one hour. But what will be the outcome of this battle? I have seen one ending through my dreams, the one where I was killed. I will have to work against that outcome. I will not let myself be defeated no matter what!"

The elevator ride seemed much longer than usual. Yet that meant that it gave him plenty of time to continue his thoughts. The elevator dinged once it came to the top and the door slid opened. He suddenly found himself regretting that he never said goodbye to Mara.

"Welcome, Reven," Sidious said, knocking Reven back to reality and exiting the lift.

Reven walked forward, up the stares and knelt before Sidious.

"Please, arise," Sidious raised his hand.

"I'd rather kneel," Reven replied, reaching for his saber hilt.

"Why?" Sidious asked, suspecting something.

"That is my question. Why didn't you see this coming?" Reven activated and threw his lightsaber.

It spun around and cut through Sidious and his thrown. He released his hold on the Force, the saber deactivated and the hilt landed on the floor. He rose to his feet.

"I did see it coming, Reven," Sidious said, Reven stiffened.

"You didn't think you could actually get away with that, did you?" Dooku said.

Reven turned to his left; Dooku and Sidious had emerged from a hidden doorway. Reven cursed as he drew his second saber. Dooku drew his and came face to face with Reven. They both activated their weapons at the same moment, letting the tips make contact.

Dooku made the first move, swinging his saber around to Reven's left. Reven easily countered Dooku's move, making one himself. Dooku parried his attack easily. They went into a standstill. Neither of them moved. Both were making eye contact, trying to read the others next move. Reven made the next move, striking for his neck, but hitting only his blade. Immediately he went for one leg, then the other, both useless attempts. They moved back to a standstill.

This time it was Dooku's turn to attack. He lunged forward, going for his waist, quickly recovering from the block he went for his head. Reven blocked then pushed back Dooku's attack. They were back at a standstill now, neither willing to make a move.

"Are you afraid, Reven?"

"Only as much as you are," he lied.

In reality Reven was very afraid. More afraid than he had ever been in his life. He was doing his best to make sure that it didn't show, but it did. He was sweating profusely and his voice was shaky, but as long as he refused it he felt he had a better chance.

"Well then you are better than I was at that age. When I was your age I would have been scared out of my mind going up against a Sith Lord such as myself."

"Well then, I am better than you!" he lunged forward with his full force.

His attacks were easily blocked and Reven was kicked back.

"No, you are not better than I am," Dooku replied with an evil grin that chilled the bones.

Reven backed away slowly, he hit something and tripped backwards onto his back. Dooku took this opportunity, he jumped into the air, with his saber faced down ready to stab and kill Reven. He did the only thing he could; he rolled over and down the stairs all the way to the bottom. He looked up to see Dooku following him. He rolled over, avoiding Dooku's attack and standing.

"Congratulations, I didn't expect for you to last this long. Especially after you went and tripped like that."

"Well lucky me," he replied as he lunged forward.

He brought his saber around for his neck. He saw it coming closer and closer to his target. Surely this will connect and end it all. His hopes grew as his saber grew closer and closer to its target. But, as his hopes were at the highest, he was shot down. Dooku moved, slashing at his leg before he could react. Reven felt his body fall as he became unbalanced. He landed on his knees as Dooku cut his hilt in half, making any retaliation impossible.

"Well, you are finished. Didn't make it as far as you had hoped, have you?" Dooku asked.

"Have you?" Reven replied.

Dooku gave him a look of confusion but he continued to circle around his prey. As he came to his back, Reven used his trump card. A saber cut through his cape and hit Dooku at the side of his stomach. The wound was only about half an inch deep, it would easily heal in no time and he would be back to normal. He extended his and brought Reven in a choke hold and lifted him off the ground.

He quickly grabbed the lightsaber Reven had used to injure him before he could use it again. Dooku stared at it as he let Reven drop to his knees. That is when Reven came to the realization that his leg truly had been cut off. Dooku continued to stare at the lightsaber, once he activated a look of realization appeared on his face.

"So you kept it all this time. The orange lightsaber that you made back on Dantooine."

"Yep," Reven replied.

"So I bet you also kept the saber of the friend you killed too, didn't you?" Reven nodded, "Where is it?"

"I gave it to Jade."

Dooku looked surprised, and a little angry, "You what?"

"I gave it Jade as I sent her away."

"So that is why you wanted to take care of the body, so that we didn't know that she was still alive."

"Yeah, you didn't know that?" he turned his gaze to Sidious, "I hope you knew at least."

"Of course I did, Reven. Who do you think let you send her off in the first place. I also know that you did not kill your brother either."

"That I didn't," Reven replied seeming proud.

"Well then I shall correct the mistakes brought on by your weakness!"

Reven cursed inwardly, he had hoped that they would leave Jade alone, they had done enough to her already. The same thing with his brother, but now it seems as though they will both be killed.

"Now you die!" with one swift move it was all over.

Jade emerged from the hut, a wooden cup in her hand. She hadn't completely healed but she could move around slightly. She leaned up against the railing of the primitive village on the mountainside. Slowly she drank the vile concoction that had been given to her to help he wounds heal.

"Will I ever see her again?" she asked herself quietly.

Jade turned her head and looked over at the village. Her eyes caught two strange figures, glowing blue. They turned around, spotting Jade easily. They were far away but they could still see her, they raised their hands above their heads and waved at her. She tilted her head and they disappeared.

Ace sat at the rubble that was one the Trump Karrde. The picture of his son was tucked away under his tunic and he noticed the landing craft in the distance. He glanced over to his left, seeing if anything was coming, he returned his gaze to the craft and then quickly jerked it back to the side. Standing there, side by side, hand in hand, was Reven and Jaina.

He smiled, so they finally found peace, he thought as the craft landed. He walked up to the clone trooper shuttle. He took the hand of a clone to help him up and into the hatch. Before they shut the hatch he spared one last glance at his brother.

"Something wrong, sir?" the trooper asked.

"No," he shook his head as they closed the hatch.
