The Redemption of Revan
Chapter 1: Crash and Burn
A young woman in her yearly twenties was being rocked side to side, due to the explosions on the hull of the Spire. Her eyes flutter open to reveal a pair of beautiful deep blue eyes. She realizes that the ship is under attack and leapt out of her bunk when a young man, also in his yearly twenties busted into the room to find a half naked Mara, only in her red and white jumpsuit.
"Mara! We've been ambushed by a Sith battle fleet! The Endar Spire is under attack! Hurry up, we don't have much time!" he exclaimed in severe exasperation.
"Um…who are you?" Mara asked cautiously as she slipped into her smuggling outfit and snapping on her stealth field generator.
"I'm Trask Ulgo, ensign with the Republic Fleet. I'm your bunk mate here on the Endar Spire. We work opposite shifts; I guess that's why you haven't seen me before. Now hurry up, we have to find Bastila! We have to make sure she gets off the ship alive!" Trask responded.
"Bastila…Bastila…Bastila…who's she again?" Mara asked shyly.
"Bastila is the commanding officer of this ship. Well, she's not really an officer, but she is the one in charge of this mission. One of our primary duties is her protection in the event of an attack. You swore an oath just like everyone else on this mission. Now is time to make good on that oath!" Trask explained. "I know your reputation, how you used to smuggle spices and blasters along the Corellian Run. I guess since the Republic couldn't catch you, they might as well hire you. I'll admit, the Republic is in desperate need of someone with your skills. Desperate enough to overlook your shady past. But now that you've signed on to this mission, your part of the Republic Fleet, and Bastila needs all troops at her side in the event of an attack! Now c'mon!"
"Okay! Let's go save her Jedi ass!" Mara exclaimed, she flicked back her head to make her dark blue locks of hair fall behind her head.
With that being said, Trask jogged to the door and unlocked it so they could leave. Mara and Trask ran out of the room and skidded to a halt in front of a nearby Astromech Droid. She heard a bleeping on her comlink and waited for the speaker to start talking.
"This is Carth Onasi— the Sith are threatening to overrun our position! We can't hold out long against their firepower! All hands to the bridge! " Carth exclaimed over the comlink.
"That was Carth, one of the Republic's best pilots! He's seen more combat than the rest of the Spire's crew put together! If he says things are bad, they are! We have to get to the bridge to help defend Bastila!" Trask explained.
"Lets get a move on it then! Quit yapping Trask!" Mara exclaimed. She then used her expert smuggling skills to slice the lock on the door when they found a lone Republic soldier in a intense firefight with two Sith soldiers. The Sith struck a lucky shot to the Republic soldier's torso. He gave a minor cry of pain before collapsing dead.
"These Sith must be the advance boarding party! For the Republic!" Trask yelled before lunging at the Sith with his blaster rifle blazing. Mara sighed at his delusions of grandeur before whipping out her blaster pistol and sniping the left Sith in the head. Trask made a smoking ruin out of the other. Mara and Trask continued along the Spire before they encounter a Jedi and a Dark Jedi engaged in a fierce saber battle. The Jedi, Elina, parried all of the Sith's strike and finally slew him. She sighed in relief before dropping dead after another explosion went off underneath her.
"That was one of the Jedi accompanying Bastila! Damn! We could of used her help!" Two Sith soldiers overheard Trask and rushed over to engage Mara and him. Mara silently cursed Trask's big mouth before expertly taking out the two Sith.
"You know, Mara, you have the greatest aim I've ever seen! How did you get so good?" Trask asked as they were running towards the bridge.
"Save it, Trask. Not now, maybe when we get off this thing," Mara replied.
"We better get out some swords or something else besides blasters, it would be suicide to use a blaster on the bridge!"
Mara nodded before unsheathing her two long swords. After Trask had followed his own advice, Mara unlocked the bridge doors. Mara gaped at the destruction before engaging two Sith. Her and Trask dispatched them and looked around for Bastila. After seeing that she wasn't there, they turned to each other to decide what to do next.
"Bastila isn't here on the bridge, they probably retreated to the escape pods. That's where we should go too. The Sith want Bastila alive, but once she's off the ship, nothing will stop them from blasting the Spire into space dust!"
Mara and Trask dashed around the wreckage of the bridge and got pretty far when Trask mentioned that something was behind another one of the doors. He ran up to it and opened it to find a bald man with a mullet clad from head to toe in black armor and robes.
"Damn! Another Dark Jedi! I'll try to hold him off while you get to the escape pods! Go!" Trask yelled back to Mara.
"Trask! No-o!" Mara screamed as another explosion rocked the ship and closing off Trask from Mara, dooming him.
Mara sniffed and fought back a tear before making her way into the Starboard Section of the ship.
