Ilza was getting quite irritated by the constant repetition. Shyrack, illusions. Illusions, shyrack. It was grating on her last nerve.
The faint aura of the Dark Side permeated the area around the next door. Readying herself for whatever this tomb was going to throw at her next. It wasn't enough.
"Wah? Re...Revan?" It was true. Standing in front of an ancient Sith coffin, in all her glory, was Darth Revan. She was dressed head-to-toe in the armor she had begun wearing shortly before Malachor. "So this is where the great Revan has hidden herself? Everyone was wondering where you scurried off to." Her voice was thick with venom.
Rather than responding with an equally scathing remark, as she knew the real Revan would, this spectere drew her red and violet lightsabers(Revan had always seemed to prefer red, even as a padawan).
Ilza was determined not to lose to this false Revan, this imitation. Malak and Kreia had taken her by suprise. That would not happen again.
She knew that it must have been her own memories fueling the illusion, because Revan was not nearly as skilled with her swords as Ilza knew she should have been. She battered Revan without mercy, backing her into a corner, and at last, impaling the former dark lord. The image vanished before it hit the floor.
'Well done.'
'Kreia..' She thought, 'What was the point of all this?'
'You may not understand what you have gained here today. That will come later.'
'I don't care about that now. I just want out of here.' She made sure to direct her impatience through the bond.
'Search the room you are in. You will be able to unlock a passage out of the tomb.'
Ilza heeded the woman's advice, opening the coffin, and gazing upon the mummified remains of Ludo Kresh.
"So much for the great Sith Lord," she said airily as she collected the sword and armband from next to the corpse.
Stepping out, back into the shyrack cave, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was still alive, and possibly a little stronger for it. Even if she didn't quite understand what had happened in the tomb, she knew that she had overcome a challenge, and that was something to rellish. All that was left now was to meet the remaining Jedi on Dantooine.
And there, she would finally have her revenge.
