Ok so this ones a bit sick… if you have a weak stomach, skip anything to do with Bastilla.


Chapter 2

"Bastilla my dear. I've returned. Did you enjoy the company of my… friends."

Bastilla bit back a scream, as she struggled to stay awake. She glanced down at her chest, her entire body naked for anyone to see. It was marked with cuts where the man who had come in to torture her had cut her slowly as she watched, screaming and crying and begging for him to stop. Most of them he quickly applied Kolto to, to ensure nothing permanent would come to pass. In those, the pain had passed…

It was the ones he had taken a shard of glass, stuck it into the cut, before sewing it up painfully, as she cried and begged for him to stop, saying she would do anything for him to stop. The pain was excruciating, as any movement sent a wave of pain through her, and even if she sat perfectly still, the pain was still there… a constant reminder. She hadn't slept in days, as she lay awake, crying and sobbing from the pain, and worrying that at any moment someone would come and make it worse…

What scared her even more, was the fact that the man had simply looked up at her and said, "That comes later hun…" when she had asked him to do anything else, when she deep down didn't mean it…

The words had struck her deeper then anything… to have someone rape her… to have that monster do that to her…

She was scared of the tortures, true, but that wasn't something that would strike her to the core… she could hold against them, she was sure… but to be raped… that shook her to the core, and she didn't know how she would respond…

Seeing the pained expression on her face, Malak merely laughed grimly. "I take it as not. Hmmmm… I can feel the pain rolling off of you, and your fear is growing by the minute… but there's something else there… I don't know what in the world it is." He laughed again. "Perhaps this will help. A reminder of the force." With a gesture, she felt the force collar slacken and half fall off of her. The force was at last within reach… but she was so tired…

She reached for it, pulled it to herself to dull the pain, relieve the tiredness… but she could get so little… her access weak. She pushed down the surge of fear that pushed into her, and sought out Sienna. Quickly she felt Revan on the other end, and felt the dark power on the other end.

Into her mind flashed an image of Revan standing there, face twisted in a dark, evil smile. She heard everything Revan said to Jorak, heard her say the Sith code… with such conviction.

Hopelessness coursed through her, as she realized what this meant. She quickly blocked her bond, and sobbed lightly. She had failed. Sienna was gone. Revan was back, and with it, the galaxies chance gone…

Above her, Malak laughed evilly. "AHAHA that worked out better than I expected. I don't think that merely feeling the force would do that. Whatever did Revan do?" With a motion the collar snapped back on, and the force fled from her again, causing her to sob again. "Ah well… I feel that we should return to our original topic."

Bastilla looked at Malak through her tear rimmed eyes, feeling hate rise in her. "There is no emotion, there is peace," she said in her mind as calmly as she could… but she knew that with every minute of this pain and fear, she believed less and less in it…

Malak laughed evilly again, which gave Bastilla the chance to realize the torture was beginning again.

Her last shred of hope, Sienna, was gone. She had no doubt now… she would fall, and the universe soon after.

Sienna stumbled through the tomb, trying her best to remember the path she came by. Her eyes were blinded with her tears, and she wanted nothing more than to be held in Carth's arms, safe and secure. Her mind wandered. She knew Bastilla was being tortured, being attempted to turn, and deep down, she knew that Bastilla would fall. As much as it hurt her to admit that one she loved would fall, her pride, her headstrongness, would be her undoing.

And it tore at her; to know that she was the reason Bastilla would fall…

So deep in thought and blinded she was that her struggle to save Bastilla and the galaxy nearly ended when she stumbled upon a pair of Tuk'ata's and they lunged threateningly at her throat. She barely got her sabers activated in time to cleave their heads off quickly. She saw other Tuk'ata bodies around her, and she recognized as having killed them. She was near the exit. She felt for Carth, and could faintly feel him through the dark energies of the tomb.

She broke into a sprint.

"Statement: Someone is approaching at an alarming speed, meatbag."

Carth jerked up from his light dozing and immediately grabbed his blaster, ready for the worst.

"Alright HK… remember, don't shoot him unless I say so," he said again, just to make sure the homicidal droid didn't open fire.

"Mocking response: You are not my master, Meatbag. However, Master has decreed that I listen to you for now. Conjecture: Perhaps Master will let me blast you, meatbag, for my good service."

Carth just rolled his eyes at HK's typical response, but before he could respond, he saw Sienna fly from the tomb, and immediately beeline to him before diving onto him in a hug, as she sobbed softly.

Not knowing what to do, he simply comforted her as best as he could, as she sobbed in his chest.

At last she stopped, and looked up at him, her red-rimmed eyes crying out to his heart. He didn't say anything…. She would say what she wanted to in her time.

"I… I failed her Carth," she said sullenly.

"Shhh, baby no, you didn't fail her. It was her choice." He knew she spoke of Bastilla. The tomb must have conjured up some image of her.

"No… no Carth. I used dark force powers in there… I'm worried I might…" her choked sobs cut her off, but Carth knew exactly what she wanted to say.

And it cut him deep.

If Sienna… who Carth felt was far stronger then Bastilla, fell back to the darkside, what chance did Bastilla have. What was worse, was that the possibility of betrayal reared its ugly head…

But that wasn't what was needed here. She needed to be comforted, not confronted. If he brought up betrayal, well, that would definitely work against him… and he truly did love Sienna, though her past was something he wasn't sure he could get over. So he decided, that he was going to trust her, and damn it, he would love her, at least for now

Before he could say anything, Sienna pushed herself off him, and in a moment looked like her regular self.

"I'm sorry Carth… now is not the time for my personal problems… we need to get the Star Map. Come on HK."

"Statement: I am so glad you have returned Master. Want me to blast this meatbag? Or any other meatbag."

"No HK."

"Disappointed Statement: Too bad, master."

She whispered softly. "Soon HK… soon there will be plenty to blast."

"Excited Reply: Oh I do hope so master. Meatbag stew for everyone!"

"No more… please…" Bastilla cried weakly, as she lay on the table, unable to even move as she gasped for air. The tortures had been brutal. Every nerve fired off in pain, her very skin smoking from the lightning. She could barely see or think straight. The very words seemed to take all the energy from her.

Malak laughed. "No more? Done so soon Bastilla…" She said nothing, so he just grinned wickedly as he stepped right up to her. "Alright princess… but there is a price for this." She looked up at him, and he saw him look… downwards on her.

"No… please… anything…"

"It's too late for that Bastilla… I want it now…"

Bastilla screamed with renewed energy, and thrashed around as it began… the rage building within…

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"The star map at last…" whispered Sienna softly, as the map expanded in front of her. She quickly plugged her datapad in and collected all the data. Successful quickly, she grabbed the sith saber and moved out.

At the acid where she had thrown the freezing grenade, she saw Yuthura and the master, she forgot his name, waiting.

The time had come at last.

She walked down, flourishing the Sith Saber.

"Good… good, I see that you're truly worthy to be the new Sith. There is but one final test. Kill Yuthura. She clearly is too ambitious."

Yuthura glanced at Sienna, before igniting her Saber. "It's not that simple master. The time has come. With Sienna helping me, you will fall quickly."

"Is this true, Sienna?" he said it with little anger apparent.

She struggled for a moment with her inner demon… the one that wanted her to decry them both… but in the end the practical side of her won out.

She dropped the sith saber and pulled out her 2 sabers, moving in on the master wordlessly.

He sneered contemptibly, before quickly doing a force push at Yuthura and moving in on Sienna. He had some skill, and initially pushed Sienna back with his rage. She saw that Yuthura had hit her head and looked out cold… so she was on her own…

His rage grew greater by the moment, and a sweat broke out on Sienna as she was continuously pushed back. All of her skill as a jedi, and even being Revan, weren't effective when one was fighting ones inner demons, struggling to control ones anger, using so much energy on that.

At last she was in a corner, and with a quick slap of his saber he knocked her off hand saber away. Startled by this, Sienna left a neat hole for him to slice in.

The blade burned into her, cutting straight through her from her lower left stomach to her upper right chest, eradicating her stomach, kidneys, and puncturing her lung along with damaging her heart. Crying out in pain, Sienna felt rage and fear grow in her, offering her its power to crush him…

She took it. With a single thought, she threw him back to the other side of the cavern, where she simply lifted him up again, and stasised him and pulled him over, Revan's anger thoroughly in control.

"Fool… Know this. I am Revan, I have returned. And as strong as you are, you are nothing to me." His eyes grew wide in fear, and with a single motion, Revan crushed him.

His very body 'imploded' upon itself under the intense pressure she placed on him, as an outburst of force flew out, pushing Revan back a bit, but of no consequence. She released what was left of him, before turning to Yuthura, who was still unconscious.

"Idiot." Quickly she moved over to her and kicked her… hard.

Yuthura awoke with a start, looking groggy. "What happened?"

Revan grinned ferally. "I killed him… and now its your turn."

Yuthuras eyes grew wide in fear, as she looked around for her saber.

Revan flashed it in front of her, igniting it. "Looking for this? Nifty weapon here. Could be deadly in the right hands." She stared at Yuthura nastily. "You, are most definitely not the right hands. He would have killed you easy. You're weak, and weakness must be crushed."

Before Yuthura could say anything, the saber swung several times, eradicating her head.

Revan slowly rose to her feet, before the waves of pain from her stomach rolled onto her. She fell to her knees… the blood loss finally getting to her.

"Is this how I end… on a god forsaken Sith planet? What of Carth… the sith will surely kill him." With that thought, Sienna's eyes burst wide open. NO! That would not happen. Summoning upon the force, she stopped the bleeding, but there was no way all the force in the galaxy could close the huge gash by itself… she needed help, badly. Slowly, she got to her feet, stumbling to the exit, Carth, and sanity…

"Come now, Bastilla… surely you see how the council was using you. You, with you're powerful force abilities as well as lightsaber abilities, and most impressively, your… battle meditation, and look at how the council treats you. To them, you're a tool, something to be used, and then discarded. They used you to control Revan, an impossible feat as that woman is such a… well such a schutta, that it's not even funny. Relegated to baby sitting."

Bastilla's eyes burned from the tears that had been coming out. He made… sense in a weird way. He really did seem to. And she had this burning anger within her now that just wouldn't go away. DAMN the council for sending her on this fool errand. DAMN Revan for leaving her, even if she demanded it of her. DAMN the republic for using her in battle but not promoting her or anything.

Maybe the Sith had it right?

"I'll never give in to the darkside, Malak." She said it mechanically, with no conviction behind it, but after the weeks of torture she just couldn't bring herself to truly care…

He laughed, as though he was sure he'd win. "Ah, but this is but a taste of the power of the darkside."

Calmly, he lashed another bolt of lightning over her, causing her to cry out screaming…

"Think about it Bastilla… what did you have under your precious republic and jedi order… no power at all. Here, in the darkside, you can become more powerful then you ever imagined. You will crush any, and all… no one will stand against you."

Bastilla stayed silent, afraid of what she would say if she said anything.

He waited a moment, before turning and walking away. "Very well, I will leave you in the company of some of my men… have fun."

She screamed at him to not do it, but he was already gone…

It wasn't so bad after the first time. It had been over 30 times… some him, but mostly he'd bring in others… This time 4 soldiers shuffled in dejectedly, but immediately lightened up when they saw her.

She hated them all.

"Huh ho, look what we have here. Aren't you a… well weren't you a pretty one," the first one said.

She snarled in response.

"Eh this one's got fight… who wants the first go." The argued for a bit before they finally settled on one, and he approached her, getting ready for her…

And suddenly, the force collar snapped off of her.

The soldier stopped, just as he was about to get to her, and glanced up at her. "Oh SHIT!"

He didn't have time to say more, as rage overcame Bastilla, and she quickly raised him in a force choke, as she ripped open her clasps and rose angrily at the others.

She spoke quietly, yet there was incredibly anger evident in her words, with an underlying hint of hatred. "You… dare to think… that you can impose yourself on me." She motioned with her hand, and the sound of the man in her choke's neck breaking could be heard loudly. The soldiers glanced at each other, before charging her.

Bastilla opened up with a force push at them, but amazingly 2 of them were merely slowed before tackling her.

"Hold her!" said one as he gave her a right hook to the cheek. "BITCH!" He hit her again in the stomach, where her many cuts were. Bastilla cried out at this, her anger giving her more power, and she quickly tossed the 2 on her aside like they were nothing. Just as suddenly, she pulled all 3 together.

"I think you 3 should experience something that I've experienced." Her anger like a scythe, she sent the dark energy into their minds, and their loud screams were like music to her ears. "Didn't like that? How about we FRY you up." She rose her hands to them, and unleashed wave after wave of lightning upon them. "Its too bad you got burned in your attempt"

With a motion, she snapped the spine on all 3 men simultaneously.

Darkness and silence washed over the room, before a bitter laughter from Bastilla broke out.

"Now we'll see who's the true power in this galaxy, Revan…"


Thanks for the Reviews :D
