Gevaden: Well this is it, the final chapter. In this chapter Rian and Ca'hal will final fight, you knew it was coming, the question is…Can Rian defeat his old Master while he's drugged?

Rian was going to go down with his guns blazing, he rushed at Ca'hal and began to swipe. Ca'hal was able to defend, and kept defending.

Ric'ia and Vi' ki were speaking.

"What will we do if Rian wins?" asked Vi' ki.

"He won't, he can't." Replied Ric'ia

"How do you know?" Vi' ki was interested.

"You're going to help Ca'hal."

"What!?"

"Go quick, Rian has the advantage of youth and two lightsabers, so go. I order you to go help him."

Vi' ki ran over to help and not a moment to soon, Rian was hammering down with lightning blows.

She gave a swipe at his leg but he defended with his red lightsaber and kicked her into the chest knocking her back, he then held up a lightsaber to his back which defended against an attack from Ca'hal.

Da'el was standing the rest of Rian's troops; the republic guards were keeping a very close eye on him. Da'el had been forced to surrender when the council came, Da'el would be no use to Rian if he were dead.

Da'el overheard a few guards talking, they were saying that Siths all over the planet were being arrested, killed or forced off the planet. Once the Zabraks arrived the Sith threat would be crushed.

Da'el had to escape and get to Rian; he had to help his friend. Da'el waited for his chance then started jumping around and eventually made it to the entrance to the canyons, he started running and many republic guards were chasing him. After he escaped the rest tried a jailbreak but it wasn't hugely successful, Republic guards got scared and started shooting at the combination of alien races, a few survived and made a run for it down the canyons.

Ca'hal used the force to push back Rian, he fell back and his green lightsaber fell out of his hand, Vi' ki was near it so she kicked it away. Rian activated both sides of his lightsaber and knocked Ca'hal back with a sturdy swing then span around Vi' ki and got the other lightsaber. The two came at him so jumped behind them and started swing with the dual sided blade, he then dropped it and activated two lightsabers and started swiping again.

Vi' ki took a chance and broke free of her defensive stance and attacked with two quick high swings but they did little as Rian leapt to one side and evaded her, Rian was now facing Ca'hal but Ca'hal surprised Rian with a very aggressive battle stance and gave lots of quick swipes at the sides and then on top. Vi' ki ran around to get at Rian from behind but he started spinning around and pushed Vi' ki at Ca'hal. The two came at him again and forced him into a defensive stance, he force pulled his dual-sided lightsaber at him which came at Vi' ki from behind, she sensed it and ducked but this gave Rian the time and the chance to do a back flip and kick Ca'hal, he hit Ca'hal's hand which caused him to drop his lightsaber and Rian punched him right on the chin, Ca'hal fell back and really felt the force of that blow. Vi' ki ran to his aid and started defending, but Rian's quick and numerous strikes were forcing her back but she had to stand her ground or fall on top of Ca'hal giving Rian the chance he needed to win.

Vi' ki pulled out all her strength and skill and put it into a combo that pushed Rian back, it went very well and now Rian was on the defensive as she gave hammering blows to the sides.

Da'el noticed that the guards were still following him; he only had one choice, to stand and fight.

When the guards came up to Da'el he was quick to defend himself, after asking wouldn't they rather join him instead…they obviously refused.

Da'el swept his lightsaber and started disarming the guards instead of killing them. He won the fight with flying colours. But he could hear another batch of them coming and beyond those there were escaped warriors who wanted to help Rian. Da'el decided to run a bit further and then start another fight.

Meanwhile back at the camp the Republic was licking its wounds, word was spreading around the camp of a revolt, some Jedi was going to leave and join Rian, and he'd leave with force if necessary. Soon enough The Republic saw just how influential Rian was. Sync Stormhammer, a Jedi who had been overlooked for a place on The Council on more than one occasion walked, and with him he took fully half of the Jedi and Republic Guard with him. Disarray seemed to cover the camp like a giant sheet, nobody knew what to do.

One man decided to write down the events, Dial 'The Librarian' Ruke was his name,

Pure chaos has erupted, the council is dead, fully half of our troops have left us and the only man who can save us is fighting our now greatest enemy…

This is how his book started; although he'll never get to publish it, as it would be confiscated as a 'report' instead. The only thing the remaining troops could do is temporarily retreat and summon aid. But first came first, a new Council was needed, the first name said was Ca'hal, everyone agreed, then another shattering blow hit the remaining Jedi, Ca'hal was fighting Rian, and if he won that then he had to fight half the republic troops and many Jedi.

One of the Jedi spoke out amongst the crowd.

"Considering the events of the last few hours and the hours to come, we must elect a Council and consider Ca'hal dead, if he returns alive then we shall instantly make a member of the Council, but for now…he is dead."

A woman named Slit Turer protested,

"I shall not stand here and wait for him to die, I'm going to show no fear and fight! But I cannot do it alone, and if the Council died against that brat then he must be damn tired, lets just rush' em. And if we die, then we died with honour."

There was a shout of agreement. The rest of the troops got ready and began to rush the canyons.

Rian fell on his face, Ca'hal had pushed him with the force. Rian stayed down for only a blink of an eye, he rushed at Ca'hal with his dual sided lightsaber and gave a few swipes, and the final one was enough to knock Ca'hal off balance.

Vi' ki came at Rian from behind put he span around and knocked her lightsaber aside and then kick her in the side and then at the head, she fell over and did a roll and was able to recover and defend before Rian brought the lightsabor down on her head.

Da'el had been fighting more guards and although they had him pinned down the remainder of the soldiers who had been arrested and escaped killed them, and Sync was still catching up but he had the remainder of the Jedi and The Republic after him.

Da'el pressed on, he could feel sweat pouring down his face. He was running his fastest

Ric'ia was watching the fight against Rian, and although she felt guilty about it, she'd didn't mind who won. She felt sympathy for Rian, but still he was taking things too far.

She looked over at the fallen Bounty Hunter Vi' ki had hired, a slender character covered in armour. He had a large rifle at his back and a blaster at his side; he also had all sorts of gadgets on a sort of utility belt.

She also looked at the droids that now responded to her order thanks to a remote she had, it was linked to the Jedi tower in the derelict city. The droids were at the entrance to this drop site, they took up the canyon passage and stood motionless until she gave an order.

Da'el used the force to push his body's muscles to the limit and he started running very quickly down the canyon.

As he approached the large oval shaped clearing where the Sith ship had landed and the fight was commencing he found his path blocked by damaged droids.

"Out of my way!" Da'el made a pushing gesture at the droids and the force pushed a number of them out of the way, they didn't even respond. But Ric'ia heard the racket and looked at her droids, She recognised Da'el and ordered the droids to detain him, if he interfered Ca'hal and Vi' ki would definitely lose, if Rian was matching both of them than the aid of a Jedi would give him the strength he needed to be victorious.

The droids circled around Da'el and tried to grab him, of course he put up a fight, he started swiping and slashing and when they got to close then he'd jump somewhere else, but eventually a hand grabbed his foot when he was in mid-air and brought him to the floor, droids jumped on him and grabbed him, he wriggled to get free but he had over eight droids clutching him and he was taken down. He still tried kicking at them but it was pointless, he was held in place. Then started to think clearly,

"I'm a Jedi, the force is my weapon. Now should I zap these droids are trick Ric'ia into letting me go, think think think, well she's a senator so she wouldn't have the weakest mind. Zap the droids it is then."

He tried to use the force to stun or weaken the droids but was unable to concentrate enough or focus the force properly. Then he tried manipulating Ric'ia.

Ric'ia sat from above watching down, she watched the three Jedi fighting it out. Suddenly she felt the urge to set Da'el free, but she resisted. Moments later she found her finger moving up and down the remote, she was having a mental argument between herself and unknown to herself but Da'el was chipping in;

If I set him free it will be a fair fight, two on two.

But Rian is fighting them both pretty well; Da'el will give him the ability to win surely.

And what If Rian wins? 3,ooo years ago Darth Malak nearly took over, would Rian have the same intentions?

No, Rian just wants a new Jedi order; he has his own views on the force, views that allow love.

Love is a passion that leads to pain and frustration as much as it does to joy and happiness, and pain leads to the dark side.

But still…everyone should be allowed feel love.

Da'el could feel her begin to slip, he just had to continue and soon enough she would break, and Da'el could kelp his friend.

Rian ducked to avoid Ca'hal's lightsaber, but then jumped to avoid Vi' ki's. He jumped and span forward bringing his lightsabers down with enough force to push his opponents back.

Ca'hal recovered, but instead of attacking again he deactivated his lightsaber and tried speaking to Rian.

"You don't need to do this." Rian was about to charge even he couldn't attack his old master unarmed, Rian put his back at his belt. Vi' ki now held hers, still active, at her side.

"Will you let me and my followers go."

"…No, you know I can't."

"Then I must, don't you see, I've proved that I'm stronger than the light side and the dark side, maybe I'm the grey side, the bit in the middle or something I don't know, but I'm fuelled by something that make's me stronger than either side."

"That something is the life essence of the council."

"No you jackass…love! Really its not that hard, I'm allowing passion to give me the power to fight but I'm not giving into the dark side."

"Yes you are, I'm trying to help you. Why can't you see that?"

"No I'm not, I have no evil intentions for the galaxy, I want to protect it too, but not the with the Jedi's view."

"The Sith want to protect it, but first take it over."

"Its not like that, I'll let you walk away, I won't come after you, if a Jedi comes at me or a follower of mine I'll defend myself and kill him or her instantly but I won't hunt you down."

Suddenly Vi' ki snapped and shouted,

"You liar!"

She charged at Rian and made a swipe at his neck but Rian was able to get his lightsaber up and defend himself, Vi' ki sent many more swipes but Rian defended them all then he kicked Vi' ki in the jaw, she went sprawling back and put her hand to her jaw, even touching it sent pain shooting through it, it was probably broken.

From the distance Ric'ia could see that they had stopped fighting, she couldn't hear what they said during the break but suddenly Vi' ki rushed at Rian, Ric'ia blocked her face as it looked like Rian was going to be decapitated, once she moved her hands she saw her bodyguard on the floor.

"How did that happen?" She saw that Ca'hal had to rush to defend the injured Vi' ki, Ric'ia started to run down the face of the rock that surrounded the large oval landing site. She completely forgot about her mental argument and ran to Vi' ki.

Ca'hal had used the force to temporarily stun Rian, he ran over to Vi' ki and used the force to try and heal it, he was able to partly heal it but he was suddenly thrown aside by the force and Rian raised a lightsaber and was about to kill Vi' ki.

Rian found himself thinking,

Will I kill her? She attacked me during myself and Ca'hal's discussion, she accused me of being a liar, and she's been fighting me in the attempt to kill me for a while now.

Suddenly Ric'ia jumped in front of Rian and started pleading for Vi' ki's life. Rian looked at Ric'ia and it was enough to convince him, his dropped his lightsaber that was being held above his head, he just let it drop. He threw his arms around the senator and now he pleaded to her.

"You must stop Ca'hal, I cannot go back to the order, they'd drug me to death, I must leave, help me, please you must help me!" Rian was very sincere in his words.

Ric'ia was surprised by the fact that he was very warm and gave a sense of security.

"Please don't make me choose." Rian didn't quite know what she meant.

"Choose between what?"

"Don't make me pick between you and your old master, if I help you then you've one, if I help you you'll escape and the republic will be in even more disarray. But if I help Ca'hal then they'll put you on drugs again, with a good reason look around you." Rian looked around and saw bodies, Vi' ki with an injured jaw, Ca'hal standing around waiting to see what would happen, a small army of droids holding Da'el in place…then something clicked…A SMALL ARMY OF DROIDS HOLDING DA'EL IN PLACE!

"Ric'ia please, just set Da'el free. You don't have to do anything else."

Ric'ia thought about it, then she realised that her remote was up where she was sitting a few minutes ago. She didn't know it but she had just realised that she had told Rian where it was by thinking of it and before she could answer Rian and Ca'hal were racing up to get it.

They were half-crawling and half-running up the rock face and as they approached the top Rian hit Ca'hal in the face with the back of his fist, Ca'hal fell backwards and tumbled down the rock face. Rian picked up the remote, he ordered the droids to release Da'el and they did.

Da'el made his way to Rian and they greeted each other with a hand sake.

"The Republic is in chaos!" Da'el informed Rian.

"That's not what I wanted but still…"

"Still what?"

"Still it might distract them when we make our escape. Could you attend to Vi' ki for me?" Da'el looked at the bodyguard.

"You don't want me to kill her do you? That's a bit…mean, you know with her being injured in all."

"No you daft…person, use the force to help her, heal her a bit if you can. I have other issue's to deal with."

Rian turned to face Ca'hal who was at the bottom of the rock face meditating. As Rian approached his old master the old man got up.

"I am truly sorry it had to end like this." Ca'hal had to repress some tears at the thought that he would have to kill his apprentice. In Ca'hal's eyes Rian was just a child, a child full of talent and possibility, but he was now too much of a threat to The Republic.

"As am I." Rian didn't want to kill his master, but the fight he was about to have would be very close, Rian knew that Ca'hal had been holding back earlier but know the two would fight to the death unless one could knock out the other or one would surrender (which wasn't very likely).

Ca'hal took out his lightsaber that shone with a brilliant blue and then asked Rian a question.

"Will you at least give me the honour of fighting me with the lightsaber you made on your own and nothing else?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Rian held up his lightsaber, a green beam shot out.

Ca'hal jumped over Rian and tried to swipe him from behind but Rian expected it and defended without even turning around, Rian span around very low and swept at Ca'hal's feet, Ca'hal jumped backwards and launched himself off the rock face, he went hurtling towards Rian, aiming for his chest, Rian jumped and landed his foot on Ca'hals back as he passed under.

Da'el had his hand close to Vi'kis mouth as he tried to heal it; Ric'ia started speaking to him as he did this.

"Are you sure about the choice you made? You know about joining Rian?"

"Rian is a very dear friend, I could never let him go through something like this without my help, and I agree with his views."

"What do you agree with?"

"Well, I'd like to be allowed fall in love, to feel passion, to experience things that the order forbids."

"That's a very reasonable point. But what things would you like to experience?"

"Lots of things, like sex, I'd love to experience sex."

"That's not all its cracked up to be, three minutes of bouncing then the bastard falls asleep for eight hours, yeah its grand when you love someone and all that crap."

"Madame senator! One might want to brush up on what to say and what not to say!"

"Yeah I suppose."

"Seriously, such words are very undignitarial!"

"Someone else said that to me in the last few days."

"Actually I really don't care what you say, that's a Rian view, in one way he believes in individual freedom. You know like doing what you want or saying what you want within reason of course."

"Yeah…he does doesn't he."

Ca'hal used the force to blow Rian back, Rian landed with a nasty thud and lost grip of his lightsaber. Ca'hal pushed it away with another wave of the force. Rian force leapt to his blade and used the force to throw it, Ca'hal was able to deflect it but this was what Rian expected and as soon as Ca'hals focus was on the lightsaber he was hit by force lighting.

While Ca'hal was down after being shocked Rian pulled his lightsaber towards himself and prepared a defensive stance against Ca'hal.

Then Ca'hal did what Rian didn't expect at all, he got off his hands and knees in the rough dirt and dirt – and started meditating!

"What are you doing? Get up!" Rian said this with a voice that was a little pissed off and a little perplexed. But Ca'hal didn't respond at all. After a few minutes Rian walked over and put his blade to Ca'hals neck.

"If you don't do something then I'll take this chance and I'll kill you, please don't do this, don't let it end like this." Rian said this, but he sounded scared, he was scared of killing his master; he was scared of killing a man who refused to defend himself.

Ca'hal did nothing, and as Rian went to make the killing swipe a giant explosion went off in the canyons.

Republic soldiers lay all around, many had been thrown about like rag dolls when the explosion went off, a crate of thermal detonators had caused it, they went off and reacted with several chemicals that were being taken to the drop site by the men and women who had chosen to follow Sync Stormhammer. A fight was going on before the explosion happened, a stray shot had caused it and now both sides had a lot of casualties. People crawled around for a while before starting to get up and then some continued to fight, some headed deeper into the canyons and some surrendered to the other side.

The explosion had distracted Rian and when he turned to Ca'hal again something overwhelmed his mind, it was Ca'hal, he was using the force to stun Rian.

Rian clasped his head dropped to his knees.

"I'm sorry I had to resort to this padawan learner, but I feel a lightsaber duel would have resulted in my death." Ca'hal got off his knees and headed for Vi' ki, Ric'ia and Da'el.

Da'el saw Ca'hal approaching, and then he looked beyond Ca'hal and saw Rian, the force still overpowering his mind. Da'el jumped up and charged at Ca'hal, his lightsaber clasped in both hands. As Da'el got closer Ca'hal beckoned a maelstrom of dust, Da'el was caught and immobilised by a small pocket of air.

The concentration on throwing Da'el around was enough to set Rian loose, Ca'hal didn't realise this and Rian used the force to lift up the bodies of the council, none of which had become one with the force like Yoda or Obi-wan would. Ca'hal felt one of the bodies smash him in the back, Ca'hal went spiralling threw the air and when he got up and faced Rian the young padawan sent the rest flying at Ca'hal, he dodged them all.

"You are slow with the force." Ca'hal was most confident.

"I wasn't aiming for your front." Rian had a smile on his face. Ca'hal turned around and saw the rest of the bodies came hurtling at him, he dodged two but then one hit him, which stunned him and allowed the rest hit him.

Da'el got up and brushed his robes of dust.

"Do you want my help in fighting him?" Da'el offered his assistance.

"No, I must do this on my own." Rian was resolute."

Ca'hal slowly pushed the bodies off himself and got up.

"That was a dirty manoeuvre."

"It was just my use of tactic, you should have foreseen it."

"I have thought you too well, and I already forgive you."

"Forgiven me for what?"

"You'll see, my padawan learner."

"I am not your padawan!" The two clashed with their lightsabers. They were in a deadlock with their blades, both pushing at each other, refusing to give in.

"You are slightly clumsy padawan."

"Don't call me padawan!"

"Why padawan?"

"Stop calling me that!" Rian was getting really pissed at this point; he broke away and started lunging at Ca'hal. Ca'hal dodged from side to side or ducked to avoid Rians attacks.

"You are a little sluggish padawan." He said this while Rian tried to swipe his head off.

"Shut up! Shut up!" Rian was boiling.

"What's wrong padawan? Am I irritating you, am I affecting your concentration? Am I causing you some sort of irritation?"

"Shut your mouth! Just shut up!" Rian was too angry and annoyed by being called padawan and the fact that he couldn't hit an old man to concentrate and Ca'hal didn't even need his lightsaber anymore to defend himself.

But his plan was disrupted when he tripped on a long thin pole. He fell backwards and Rian tried to swipe at him while he was down, Ca'hal was able to roll out of the way but Rian used the force to throw the pole at Ca'hal. Ca'hal flicked out his lightsaber and sliced the pole as it came at him.

Rian suddenly just stopped his rampage and started to notice how his fighting was being affected.

"Da'el, do my a favour…kill Vi' ki!" Rians face was blank and emotionless. Ca'hal was taken back by Rian ruthlessness. Vi' ki was still injured.

"How dare you give that order you little pup? She's defenceless!" That sudden flash of anger was all Rian needed, he used this emblem of the dark side as a conduit for a Force attack. Ca'hal was pushed off his feet and went crashing into the rock face.

"You don't actually need to kill her, that's heartless." Rian had beaten Ca'hal at his own game.

Da'el let out a sigh, he didn't need to kill Vi' ki.

Ca'hals head was extremely sore, it had knocked against the stone really hard and a small trickle of blood ran down his face.

Ric'ia sat where she was, too scared to do anything. She had come to the conclusion that this whole thing was her fault. She had suggested that Rian came here, she suggested that Rian take the tour with the Sith, She had allowed him to fall. It was her fault that her bodyguard had a broken jaw, even though Da'el was doing an excellent job at healing it with the force it probably wouldn't be enough.

Rian stood before his old master. The old man lay on his side, calling upon the light side of the force to give him strength, and it did. Ca'hal jumped up with extreme speed and caught Rian off guard, Ca'hal hammered blows down on Rian and Rian fell onto his back. Ca'hal brought the lightsaber down and stabbed at Rian but Rian rolled backwards, then jumped over Ca'hal. There lightsabers met and they spiralled around, each combatant was sliding there blade against the oppositions blade, but suddenly Rians blade met Ca'hals hand, his fingers were lost and he dropped his lightsaber, Rian span his blade around and it sliced through Ca'hals arms, Rian kicked Ca'hal in the chest. Ca'hal fell onto his back and left out a roar.

Rian dropped his blade in shock, he covered his mouth with his hands.

"What have I done?" he ran to Ca'hals side and quickly knelt beside him.

"Ca'hal are you okay?" Rian was genuinely worried.

"This is why I forgive you, don't worry I shall soon become one with the force." Each word was a struggle.

"No master, you'll survive! You'll survive Dammit! You can be healed!"

"You…called me master!" Ca'hal gave a little smile.

"Yeah, yeah I did, look you'll be fine just don't give up! Your too strong to give up!"

"No…no I'm not."

"Look just stay alive even if it's just spite me and my new order!"

"You, still…have much to learn padawan."

"Yeah and you'll teach me."

Rian put his hands on Ca'hals chest, put Ca'hals body disappeared.

"No…No! Don't do this you…" but Rian was lost for words.

Da'el put a hand on Rians shoulder.

"He's one with the force now, he's become stronger."

"Yeah, but this is not how it was to go, don't you see what he's done."

"Yeah, he kind of, died."

"No…he's made me out to be a Sith! A Sith will always kill his master or be killed by his master!"

Sync Stormhammer came through the droids followed by republic troops and other Jedi Knights.

"I, Sync Stormhammer and the members of The Republic that follow me swear allegiance to Rian!" Rian met him with a handshake. Everyone jumped onto the Sith ship except for Ric'ia and Vi' ki and they took off, but before they could get very far they found a Sith blockade surrounding the planet.

People shouted to turn back and they did, they flew back down to wait until the blockade was gone, it took one week for the Zabrak army to arrive, but they blew the shit out of the Sith capitol ships. Rian stole a few Republic ships, as there wasn't enough beds and supplies in the Sith ship he had. They flew off and started Rians order.

It would be three years until 'The True Knights' disbanded in the eyes of the Republic. But in reality Rian had just gone underground while he gathered support and funds. Either way he changed the name of his order, The True Knights seemed crap after a week, they became The Coven.

Gevaden: That's it, I hope you enjoyed it. I might write an epilogue or a sequel depending on feedback.

Now the thing I like the most…does anyone wanna make a story crossover? I just love writing stories with characters with from my fics and characters from other people's fics, or you could write one with one of my characters…maybe an apprentice of Ca'hals before Rian, that would be interesting. It's all up to you the reader of my fics.

Also Dana-Carter is writing a story called 'The Past Repeated' which is based after the trilogy and features Ric'ia and maybe some other characters from this fic, but hold on…how does Ric'ia live beyond the Trilogy when this fic is based long before it? Read to find out.
