Chapter 11: Change of Plans
Everyone was gathered in the council chambers. Bao Dur came running in with a disk; "we got it," he informed them as he put the disk in the holoviewer. The images that took place earlier in the day showed up on the screen. You see Bao Dur, Mira and T3 working on HK-47.
Suddenly two dozen Dark Jedi come threw the doors. The droids fly threw the air smashing into the walls. Mira and Bao Dur ignite their lightsabers as the Dark Jedi separate, creating a path. Nelian walks in between them and looks at the two padawans. "Sleep" Nelian persuades them. You see Mira and Bao Dur fall to the ground.
Nelian orders the Dark Jedi to return to their ship, telling his apprentice to stay with him while they wait for Revan. His apprentice asks if he should disable the security cameras. Nelian just smiles and says no. Several minutes you see Revan running into the room to check on the padawans.
They watch as Nelian uses force persuasion on Revan to convince her to leave with them.
After the disk is shut off everyone is silent. Mission starts to cry, and Dustil puts his arm around her shoulders. "It's okay Mission, Dustil tells her, and we'll get her back". Carth nods, "damn right we will" he says.
Jolee sits there thoughtfully. Jahani looks at him, "what are you thinking about Jolee"? He looks at her, "Nelian did not even care if we knew he took Revan. Do you want to guess why"? Bastila looked scared, "he knew that we have know idea where in the Unknown Regions Sithius is" she said. Mission started to cry harder.
Mauve looked at Atton who nodded. "I do", Atton said. "When Revan and Malak turned to the dark side, I followed. They noticed how good I was at blocking Jedi from entering my mind. So they sent me to Sithius to learn techniques in torturing and killing Jedi who refused to follow Revan. When I found out that I was force sensitive and what they were doing to force sensitive beings I left. I can tell you how to get there, but I wouldn't recommend it". Mission looked at Atton. "Why shouldn't we go", she asked, "it's the only way to save Revan". Atton turned to her, "if we all go charging into Sithius it will only get us killed. It's a sith world. As in sith only", Atton explained.
Mandalore nodded. "The kids right. We can't just go rushing into the unknown. We have to think of a better plan". Carth glared at him. "Then what do you suggest we do"? Carth asked. "I have an idea Father", Dustil said. "Well, I heard that some of the sith have gone back to Korriban to continue work in the tombs. Since nobody knows that Atton and I changed sides, we could go hang out at the cantina there. We could maybe let people over hear about how I want to get revenge on my father, who happens to be a republic fleet admiral in love with the former sith lord".
"Are you insane Dustil"? Carth asked him. Jolee glanced over at Carth, "the lad has a pretty good idea Carth" Jolee said, "If Nelian heard about that he might want to recruit these two". Bastila and Jahani nodded. "He's right Carth," Bastila said, "when Nelian realizes that Revan is in love with you he'll consider you his biggest enemy. He'll see Dustil as a tool to get to you".
Carth nodded, "I guess you're right, just be careful" he said the Dustil. "I will father, Dustil said, I know that we are just padawans but I think this will work". Mauve and Bastila looked at each other. "Actually, Mauve said, tonight we were planning on a ceremony at tonight's dinner to congratulate all of padawans on becoming Jedi Knights". Mauve turned to Bastila. "That is correct, Bastila said, but with all that is going on I guess there is no time like the present. Congratulations Jedi Knights". Jahani pulled out several Jedi Knight robes and passed them around.
"Now back to business", Jolee said, "You boys will be leaving in the next hour for Korriban on my new freighter Kashya".
