Author's Note: I am sorry for the delay in this chapter. My computer has been acting up a ton lately, and my beta reader seems to have disappeared, so I am looking for another. This one is proofread myself, but I believe I should be able to handle it. However, if you are good with grammar and in general being a good proofreader, I'd gladly appreciate if you would help me. Without further delay...
Forest Fun
As Revan looked around, he assessed the situation with the force. He could sense about twelve Dark Jedi in the area, more or less. With about fifty Sith troopers supporting. That was only in the immediate area though. He could vaguely feel at least a couple hundred more on the way. How did they escape detection?
Twin lightsabers were pulled from his belt and into his hands just in time to ignite the violet and red beams and deflect the incoming blaster bolts back to their origin. He heard three satisfying cries of pain before he ran back to the ship.
HK-47 was already firing, Revan had made him set the rifle to stun beforehand, "HK-47, you have full permission to eliminate all hostiles that are Sith in origin. Anyone else you are authorized to stun only." HK-47 once again sulked, but the setting on the rifle was tuned to kill, "Affirmative: Thank you Master, I have been waiting to smear organics across this field by way of my rifle for a while." The droid began to gleefully fire with its trained sensors at the incoming horde. Revan was busy deflecting bolts as he ran into the Hawk.
He immediately went for the bridge, sending a call over the bond with Bastila, Love, we have an ambush party surrounding the landing zone. [I do not know how many are out there, but could you please tell T3 to automate the gun turrets and hold them off, then go out yourself and help HK to hold them] off Sensing that Revan was not in a mood to argue, he felt a wave of confirmation from her, then felt determination set in; she seemed adamant in trying to prove herself to her beloved. Revan grimaced mentally.
He deactivated his lightsabers and finally entered the cockpit, hitting the comm. system on, "Attention all Republic personnel in the area, this is Adam Chasiter. The Ceremony landing zone is under attack by Sith soldiers and Dark Jedi, Composition and number unknown. They have at least a dozen Dark Jedi and fifty troopers surrounding us. However, there are more on the way. Requesting immediate assistance, we will try to hold them off for as long as possible." He knew Canderous kept his commlink, so he would be able to alert the others. Revan ran out of the cockpit and spotted a figure in the cargo hold, lying on a makeshift bed. Checking the figure over with his eyes briefly, Revan began to run outside again.
He immediately saw HK with its deflector shield running; wildly spraying blaster bolts into the general position of Sith troops. The droid was quickly creating a wildfire. Revan frowned, but knew it was the best logical way to flush them out easier. Create a spreading fire, and the Sith will be forced into the open or fry. They could clean up the damage later.
Revan reactivated his lightsabers then and moved to the side of HK, helping the droid to deflect the blasters aimed at them while HK worked. Revan caught Bastila working to keep the other side from being too heavily damaged, Good job love. I sent out a distress call. We should get some help real soon Revan saw her turn, then run up to him, all while deflecting blaster bolts, "How is our guest?" Revan frowned, "No change, but that is expected...let's concentrate on the immediate situation." Revan then looked up to a surge in energy and saw four Dark Jedi augmented by the force running straight for the Hawk. Their lightsabers were parrying the Hawk's turrets and they were heading right for him.
Revans suspicions were confirmed; this entire ambush was for the sole purpose of eliminating him. Revan sighed and turned to meet the assault.
Bastila caught the approaching Dark Jedi as well and whirled to meet them, [Bastila, help HK with the Sith troopers. I can handle this] A fervent objection from her followed, [This would go easier if both of us took them on, I can help...] Revan's thoughts turned to stone, [You will help me more by keeping that droid intact. I am a former Sith Lord, love. Four amateur Dark Jedi are not a match for me] He felt reluctant acceptance. Revan took his lightsabers, placed the bottom of each against the other, and twisted. He was rewarded with a soft click and the two snapped together. Revan met the incoming Jedi with saber staff whirling.
As expected, they tried to use force powers on him, but Revan didn't feel like playing with these fellows, so he unleashed a massive lightning attack from his free hand. He heard two satisfying death screams as he literally seared the flesh off two of them. The other two were burned badly, but were using the force to ignore the pain and to go into a force induced battle rage.
Even with their increased strength,they were no match for him. He parried blows from each unti lhe saw tiny gaps in both and threw a wave of the force at them, sending them flying. The Hawks turrets did the rest.
That threat out of the way, he reached out with the force and looked for more. Most of the Sith attention were on HK now, who was being protected by Bastila. He was on the other side of the ship, so most of them couldn't fire at him. He could sense the rest of the Dark Jedi going for HK-47 and Bastila. But from all indications, the remnants of the Sith weren't a threat to either of them though, with the wildfire spreading far enoguh to flush most of the snipers out.
The Sith were however sending some troops to the side Revan was heading for to try and cut him off, and they were just about in position to try and snipe at him. Revan didn't want to give them the chance and used full force augmented speed to outrun them.
Revan then noticed Republic troopers coming from the direction of the party. About time they got here. He could see Carth with them, seemingly leading the Republic troops. The others at the party were with them, and surprisingly, Juhani was as well.
Seeing that this situation was just about wrapped up, Revan augmented his speed through the force and began to run over to the other side of the clearing. Blocking out his side of the bond subtly to make it look like battle concentration, he went alone into the forest.
With this many Sith and Dark Jedi, and more on the way, there had to be a base camp of some size in the area. He planned to find it. Hopefully he could find some answers to some questions as well. For one; how did the Sith manage to bypass the Republic perimeter without tripping an alarm?
