Title: Destiny's New Path
Summary: A what if. What if it wasn't Revan on the Bridge when Malak fired on his Master's ship? Suddenly the Apprentice is betrayed by the Master, and Revan then infiltrates the ranks of the Jedi. The Dark Lords mission: turn Bastila to the Dark Side of the Force.
Disclaimer: George Lucas and Bioware own the basis of this FanFic. I am merely entertaining the idea that I am good at making Star Wars stories (stupid ideas).
Author's Note: And so, Destiny's New Path comes to a close.
Epilogue: The Force Shall Free Me
Revan
I flew the Ebon Hawk away from the Star Forge, turning back for only a second. "Goodbye, my love." I whispered softly to Bastila. Through the Bond forged from our night together, I knew she would feel my farewell.
I set the Ebon Hawk for autopilot, and walked out the back. I wanted to see why Bastila had wanted the T3 Unit a few hours before I had left.
As I passed the Security Room, I saw HK-47 speaking in binary to the Ebon Hawk, obviously trying to unlock the navicomputer. I continued toward the Engine room, and as I passed Garage, I saw Canderous, making modifications to Mandalore's armour, so that it would fit him properly. I shook my head. I would drop him off on Dxun, as I'd promised.
I reached the Engine Room, and found the T3 Unit working on the hyperdrive engine. It spun around as I approached.
"Show me the message my…the message Bastila gave you." I said. The Astromech droid seemed reluctant, but I after I threatened to give it a memory wipe, it quickly accessed the message.
A hologram of Bastila appeared in front of me, wearing her new Star Forge robes. "Every day as we continue to add more war ships to our fleet, she grows more and more distant – and at the same time she seems to be fighting to grow closer to me." She seemed to hesitate for a moment, trying to hide the fear I could see in her eyes. "She believes a threat lurks on the edge of the galaxy. Something that could threaten her power. I... fear she will go there... and I fear she will not return." I smiled and shook my head. For some reason it felt good to know she worried for me.
She gave a deep, rueful sigh. "If she leaves, she will take you with her - but not I. She knows these new feelings we have, the link we've forged, may prove a weakness where we plan to go." She turned, and I heard the sound of my own footsteps approaching. "If something happens, T3, then I need you to return to the Republic and find me. And if you cannot, then I need you to seek whatever help you can elsewhere, whether Jedi or the Sith... or someone in-between."
Another set of footsteps, and a door opening. She looked behind again, then back to T3. "This is my last order to you, T3. Obey it - and do not let me lose my Master..." She sighed again. "Even if she believes she is protecting me." I shook my head and smiled again. It did feel good to have someone that…that cared for me.
I turned away. "Thankyou, T3." I said. "That will be all." I walked away. And the Ebon Hawk moved ever further away from the Star Forge. Away from Bastila: my apprentice, and my lover.
A/N: I realize this isn't very long, but it wasn't supposed to be. I just felt like including the message Bastila left (though in the game it was for Male Revan) with T3 after Revan left.
Thankyou, all of you, for being such wonderful readers. I could not have written this without all the support. After reading through all the reviews, I discovered that of the entire 48 I have received, only one of them has been actual criticism, which means I must've done better then I thought.
