KotOR Roots

"Give it back!" the female voice pleaded with her tormentors.

"Hah, pass it here!" The bracelet flew through the air as the girl jumped trying to catch it. She just missed and fell into the noir soil.

"Heh, look at her, some Jedi!" one of the boys yelled to his accomplice tauntingly. He was silhouetted by the dim form of the Enclave. The young man took a good look at the bracelet, it was silver, Alderanian silver to be exact, and had the letters B.S. engraved on the inside. Should pick up some nice credits at a junk dealer, he thought to himself. The padawan picked herself off the ground, frustrated, and ran at the boy, landing a solid blow onto the side of his ribs. The amulet dropped to the ground and snapped in half, as the male's knee plowed into it. One half landed onto the fingertips of her right hand. A wave of sadness engulfed the Jedi apprentice as she felt tears swell up in her hazel eyes. Mom… She didn't have any time to grieve though, because a fist connected with the side of her head as she fell back into the earth.

She tried to roll to her right, but the weight of the young man, four years her senior, crushed her into the ground, forcing the air out of her lungs. She struggled and fought to work the man off of her, but couldn't. He looked her in the eyes and sneered. He and his buddy were both seventeen and farmer's sons. Because of this they were strong, tough, and poor. That is probably why they had attacked her. She couldn't lose the bracelet, the last piece of family she had left.

The wind suddenly blew from behind her as the weight was suddenly lifted off of her chest.

The girl lay back and gasped desperately for air, as the much larger boy flew through the air, connecting finally with one of Dantooine's many cliff faces. The other kid ran at the Jedi youth who had so rudely interrupted their game.

"Stop," a severe voice commanded; even though it had come from her rescuer, the voice seemed deeper than its years. Even though she had heard it few times she knew immediately who it was. It was him. The aggressor threw a haymaker coming down for the savior's head, but he ducked and countered expertly, without emotion, leaving the assailant to fall to the floor trying to recover. Bastila struggled to her feet, but felt an arm wrap around her neck.

"You think that your force tricks work on me, nerf-herder?" He pulled tightly on her neck, cutting off the air. Bastila went to work immediately trying to pry the vice grip off and run, but her will and force powers were already exhausted from a full day of training with the harshest here, Vrook. She looked into her heroes eyes, pleadingly.

Streaks of anger ran over him, his eyes bore straight into the bully's eyes. Nothing will hurt her! Suddenly, in a rustle of robes he left the ground, his foot coming down onto the startled enemy's collar bone, shattering it. Bastila fell to the ground, but an arm stopped her and pulled her up.

Air, air, AIR! She breathed it in, savoring and then breathing out. A dull numbness went through as the force coursed through her veins. She sat up and looked around.

"Whoa now, sit back down." The Tw'ilek nurse rushed over. "Sit back down now, you need some time to recover. You're lucky he found you when he did."

"Who?" As the words left her lips, she remembered. Warmth spread through her soul as she thought about him. She leaned back driving her head into the pillow.

Her savior,

With that she leapt up and dashed out the door.

He's back, finally, Revan is back.
