Star Wars
Knights Of The Old Republic:
The Chosen Alliance
Darth Traya is dead, no longer a threat to the galaxy, following Malachor V's destrution, the Jedi Exile Drendan Kline, the Exile who knew both sides of the force now, Dark and Light, raced to find his friends, Visas, Atris, Brianna, Atton, Bao-Dur, Mira, Mandalore,and his two droid friends, T3-M4 and HK-47.
They built a small base like area on the unhabbited planet of Marooqu, and though it was unhabbited, one old jedi remained, Bastilla.
Bastilla told the others the planets where the heroes of the Star Forge had resided to rest and strenghten themselves alone, and Drendan picked out Bastilla,Mira, and Atton to seek out each one of them, leaving Visas in charge.
Meanwhile Drendan sought out to destroy the True Sith, the species, moving from planet to planet taking on handfuls, so that the threat of the True Sith could be a memory to the galaxy, and letting peace take over.
But Drendan knew he had to find someone else if he were to destroy the Sith for good, he needed Revan, together the two could stop The Sith for good, but the Sith wouldn't give up, they'd put up a fight.
Chapter 1: Kline, Drendan, Kline
Empty. Pure, emptiness. Drendan had been to many worlds, full of life, death, emotion, discipline, and missions. Every planet was a maze of true evil, full of missions to complete. Full of people, to confront and rid of. But now, in hyperspace, it was empty.
Drendan was now nearing undiscovered parts of the outer-rim that Drendan had to find. Drendan's mission was to counquer all threats of the True Sith. The Sith race, the Sith speicies, not the Sith followers. Drendan, was a Jedi. A Jedi Master, a leader.
But Drendan had learned in his years of experience, that the Jedi teachings were wrong. Existing, living soley on the teachings, no the restrictions, of the lightside, it held down the true potential of the force sensatives. Drendan learned that one must see both worlds, both the dark side, and the light to fully bring out the potential that those intune with the force possessed.
Drendan learned. Light side, and Dark. Titles meant nothing to him anymore, the truth was obvious. By knowing both sides, true power was accessed.
But what he really needed was to find the powerfull man, Darth Revan. Together Drendan knew they could kill the threats of the Sith. But first he had to-
A sudden shock, a ripple in the force, so sudden it made Drendan jump. Something important was happening... Something dark. Drendan didn't expect it, deep in thought. Something very wrong was happening...
Before Drendan approved of his own actions, his fingers were dancing across the Ebon Hawk's controls, pulling him out of hyperspace. The blue tunnel formed of distant stars zipping by at lightning speed that Drendan saw slowly faded.
Finally Drendan saw the black of space, no blue tunnels at all. Where was he? These parts of the outer-rim were undiscovered and unframiliar. Drendan saw a few planets near with many moons orbiting. The force was warning him.. Something very wrong... Drendan began to worry. He would land on a near-by planet to meditate.
The ship engines shut off. Drendan stood up out of the Ebon Hawks pilot seat and stretched. The force's warnings only grew bigger and bigger the closer he had gotten to the planet. Whatever brought him here to the dark planet must be important, Drendan thought.
Slowly he began to stride down to the ramp. He would look around to see what was going on. Something was wrong... Very wrong..
Suddenly there was a strong pain in the back of his head, so sudden and fierce... Drendan dropped to his knees hard, Drendan gripped his head tight and cried out in pain. Then it all went black. Drendan passed out.
He knew they were watching. The eyes scanned up and down his back as he walked through the foggy and moist grounds. The trees were tall with many branches. Many large rocks rested amongst the unknown planet. But behind many of these natural objects, they watched. The Sith.
But he was aware of them. He knew they were coming. His black cape covered him closely. The hood hid his face well, making him look mysterious and dark. On his side, the outline of a small cylinder object was visible.
"You there," one of the watcing sith appeared behind him and spoke. His voice low and commanding. "State your name."
"My name," the mysterious man asked. "Well. If you want to know." He spoke slowly, sounding just as mysterious as he looked. He took a breath and spoke his name.
"Darth Revan."
And with that Revan tossed his cape to the side to reveal his lightsaber handle. His hand shot down to the saber hilt and ignited it. The blade hummed to life shocking surprise into the Sith. The saber was a blurr of red spinning around the dark man.
"Attack!" The Sith said together. Five other Sith warriors appeared. There lightsabers ignited in unison, there blades the color of blood as well. Slowly the Sith inched towards Revan, blades held defensivley. Gradually they made a circle around Revan, all focusing on him.
"If you dont stand back," Revan began casualy, saber pointing to the ground carelesly, "I will kill you."
The Sith that had spoke before laughed at Revan's remark.
"Do you know who I am," the sith asked. "I am-"
"I dont give half a pound of bantha crap. Stand back, or I will kill you."
"Fool. Sith! Attack!"
And with that, 6 on 1, the battle begun.
Drendan slowly regained concious. He had no clue what happened. Nothing made sense to him. He'd just passed out. Slowly blinking, Drendan looked around. The Ebon Hawk. Ok good, I havent moved, Drendan thought.
He felt fine, no wounds, no pain, no-
The Force! It was warning him again, pulling him to this planet. Something was happening. And Drendan had to find out what it was.
Drendan climbed to his feet, finding balance quickly. He waisted no time running to the ramp and sprinting down quickly. The planet was completly covered in fog, making it hard to see, but Drendan didn't need his eyes. He could see through the force, seeing what once was a beautiful land filled with life, now dark and rotting away, tainted by the Sith presence.
Quickly he ran through the grass, leaping over rocks, branches, and other various objects. The black clouds blocked out most light, making it almost impossible to navigate to any specific position. Yet he knew... He knew he was nearing the spot of the important activitity that the force was directing him to.
Darting through the area, stopping slowly to look around and catch his breath, Drendan was getting closer. Drendan noticed a patch of trees and vines and bushes to the side, and Drendan knew to go through there.
Then he heard it... Lightsabers. The faint humming of lightsabers. The clashing... Battle, it was a lightsaber battle. But who could it be? The other force sensatives were either on Marooqu or... Searching for the Star Forge destroyers. But they wouldn't be this far out into the outer-rim. Drendan had to find out who it was.
He pushed through the vines and bushes, cutting his robes every now and then. But it didn't matter. Aggresivley he moved through the tight area. Finally he pushed through. Thats when he saw it, far off in the midst of the trees, the Sith fighting the talented warrior... But Drendan knew exactly who he was.
Sweat flowed down Revan's face as the sabers twirled in front of him. Disposing of these Sith was harder then he thought, everytime he was close to exterminating one, 4 others flanked him. Defense was all he could do now. Revan panted loudly, exhausted enough to drop to the ground at that very moment. But he couldn't.
They continued to push him back, back, back, but he saw through there trap. The root sticking out of the ground wouldn't grab his ankle today. A few feet away from the root, Revan jumped high, flipping backwards in the air, landing on the branch about 7 feet high from the ground. But thats what they wanted. Just as he landed, one of the Sith sabers sliced through the branch, sending Revan falling to the ground, landing hard and loud.
Revan's saber flew from his hand, landing yards away. And now, his ankle really was caught in the root. Revan was defensless.
"My my how the mighty have fallen," The Sith leader spoke. "What was that, about killing us?"
Revan stared with anger in his eyes, breathing hard.
"Well, good job! Now, it's been a great time, but im afraid I have to kill you."
Revan would of gotten out of the situation if he'd been more focused. Now all he could do was summon the force around him to try and buy some time.
"Starting the party without me?" A voice not seen said loudly. All the Sith turned in shock to see the tall man standing with great confidence. The man began to slide out of his brown robes, revealing his tan tunic and tan garments.
"You there," the Sith leader yelled. "Who are you?"
"Me? Drendan Kline. And if I know who that is over there," Drendan indicated to Revan. "Then my name is one of the last things you'll ever hear."
"Is that a threat?"
"No, its a prediction."
"You fool! I'll make you drink your own blood!" The 6 Sith all charged Drendan, but he was fast. So fast that by the time the Sith were half-way to him, his blue saber was ignited and he was behind them all.
Drendan used the force to lift a small but hard rock and shot it straight at one of the Sith's heads. The hit sith dropped his saber and kneeled on one knee, grabbing the back of his head screeching in pain. One of the Sith turned around angered, staring straight at Drendan Kline. He sprinted at Drendan, saber ready to strike.
"You piece of-!" He was cut off as Drendan drove a knee to the Sith's stomache. Drendan then slammed the hilt of his saber into his neck hard. Drendan turned to see Revan, mouth opened wide. Drendan spotted Revan's saber far off near a tree. Drendan summoned the force around the cylinder and shot it at Revan.
"Catch!" Drendan shouted, then turned to stare at the Sith. The one at his ankles began to rise to his feet. Drendan backfilpped and landed near Revan who also began to rise. The red saber of Revan ignited in a flash and the two stood ready.
The warriors charged at eachother. The 6 Sith ran towards The Exile and Darth Revan. The two ran as well, sabers raised high. Drendan bent backwards to avoid a red saber sweeping across at him. Drendan straightened up just enough to swing his left leg up for a hard kick to the Sith's face. Drendan couldn't see the face of the man through the fog, but could cleary hear a cracking bone, most likely a nose.
Revan swung down hard on one of the Sith but the dark Jedi lifted his wepon up in defense. The Sith pushed to the right leaving Revan's entire left side open. Quickly he swung a foot to the side of Revan's neck, but Revan ducked down to avoid the kick. The Sith was vulenerable. Revan thrusted his saber straight into the dark jedi's stomache, then pulled it out triumphly.
Drendan leaped foward and flipped in the air multiple times before thrusing his saber down on one of the sith, but he blocked it just in time. Drendan flipped once again landing behind the sith. Wasting no time, Drendan stabbed behind him straight into the sith's back. The Force warned him of another enemy coming by from the right. Drendan immidietly swung his left leg towars the sith, kicking him in the chin. The Sith staggered backwards. At the same time, Revan slammed the lightsaber into the Sith's back.
Drendan and Revan stood back to back, deflecting blows, sending powerful force pushes, slicing away, they poured out there energy onto the remaining sith. Slowly the last of the Sith dropped to the ground. Only two men remained.
The Exile.
Darth Revan.
Drendan Kline and Darth Revan. The two shut off there lightsabers and clipped them to there sides. The two turned and looked at eachother, both surprised.
"I'm impressed," Revan began. "Your skills are highly impressive. Who are you?"
"Kline. Drendan, Kline."
"Yes yes I know your name. But who are you?"
"An Exile. A former Jedi. I know who you are, Revan. I know all about you, the Mandalorian Wars, the second Sith War, The Star Forge, everything. I was the only Jedi to return to Coruscant to face the consequences for my actions. And I was Exilied."
"Your Actions?"
"For going to war with the Mandalorians."
"Hmm... I see. What happened after you were Exiled?"
"I don't want to go into details, but I found the Ebon Hawk and I-"
"The Ebon Hawk?"
"Yeah, you've heard of it?"
"Heard of it? I owned it."
"What?"
"On Tairis Canderos Ordo, Bastilla Shan, and I stole Davik, a crime lord's, ship to escape to Dantoone."
"Really? Bastilla? Oh yes that's right... You see... I've met Bastilla."
"When?"
"About one standard month ago. She was on the planet of Marooqu. We set up base there, and she told us where the others were. The star forge heroes."
"I haven't seen Bastilla in years... Five exactly."
"She's leading a small gorup to go find the others who helped at the star forge."
"This is... Interesting. Ok so what else happend after you were Exiled?"
"Well i was knocked out and my droid T3-M4-"
"That was my old droid. Let me guess. You also own HK-47."
"How did you know?"
"HK was also my old droid."
"Small galaxy."
"Very."
"Ok, well moving on. So T3 got us to land on the mining facility, Peragus II. Thats where I found this old woman... Kreia."
"What?"
"Kreia, I found her, Kreia."
"That, my friend... That, was my old master..."
"The one that lead you down the dark side?"
"No I lead myself down that path, she only... Never mind.. Continue."
"Ok... Well Kreia always seemed dark... Evil... But she did help me find Atton, a man trapped in the facilty. He explained what happened and helped us get out of the facility. But before we left, a Sith Lord came... Darth Sion. We managed to avoid him and escape to Telos however. We met up with Atris, and the handmaiden, Brianna, followed us when we left. We traveled from planet to planet, searching for the remaining Jedi, but in the end, Kreia killed them all... The council, dead... I tracked her down, killing her old apprentices on the way. Darth Nihilius, Darth Sion, both fell to my feet. Then, the master, on Malachor V, Darth Traya. I single handedly defeated her. Malachor V exploded, and I escaped to Marooqu. My friends buit a small base there. I set out to destroy the True Sith that remained, and now, here we are."
"Well this is no mere coincidence. Obviously The Force has brought us together to take down the Sith together once and for all."
"Yes, Revan, we must join forces. Alone we can not defeat the True Sith, but together, we can rid the galaxy of there evil."
"Very well, Revan, I would like to introduce you to my other Allies, but that might have to wait quite a while. I know quite a few planets near by that are probally crawling with Sith. Do you have any transport?"
"I did, but I crash landed a few hours go. Not exactly in tip top shape."
"I see... How would you like to pilot the Ebon Hawk again?"
Revan smiled. "Yeah, I think that would be nice."
"The scent hasn't changed in five golden years," Revan declared. "Looks the same... Boy oh boy am I glad to see this baby again."
"Yup, she sure is a beau-" Drendan stopped, realizing beauty wasn't really the best word. "Uhh... She uhh, she sure is somethin'."
Revan and Drendan shared a laugh as they walked towards the cock pit. As they passed the communications room, they heard a beeping noise coming from the long range communications.
"Well what do we have here," Drendan turned into the communications room and ran his fingers over the controls. "Our allies on Marooqu are trying to contact us..." Drendan opened the transmission quickly as Revan watched.
"Here we go..."
"Drendan," A woman in a black and red dress with a hood covering her eyes appeared.
"Hello there Visas." Drendan greeted her.
"Hello Drendan. Bastilla, Mira, and Atton are trying to send a transmission, however you're too far out in the outer-rim so the transmission will go through here, and will be directed to you."
"Very well Visas."
The hologram of Visas typed up something before another hologram appeared, it was Bastilla.
"Bastila!" Revan exclaimed. "Is that... Is that really you Bastilla?"
Bastilla appeared as surprised as Revan did.
"R- Revan? This, uhh I mean me, the, uhh..." Bastilla was clearly shocked, as she stuttered repededly. "Bastilla, im Bastilla."
"Bastilla... It's been so long..."
"Revan?" Visas seemed furious. "Drendan how dare you bring that... That... That scum bag into the Ebon Hawk?"
"Hey," Drendan seemed just as mad. "We need Revan to help us, I doubt you can win this war yourself."
"Drendan how can you trust him? He could turn on you right now! He killed countless Jedi before, don't be the next one!"
"I doubt that, he needs our help just as much as we need his.
"Watch your back Drendan, that is all I may say."
Revan didn't seem to be the least bit affected by Visas' distrusting words.
The two continued to argue and argue but Revan and Bastilla stared at eachother wide-eyed. They couldn't believe they were seeing eachother again. And eventually the argument died down but the two remained silent.
"Well anyways..." Drendan muttered."Bastilla whats the news?"
Bastilla was still in her silent trance.
"Bastilla..."
Still no response.
"Bastilla..."
It was as if Bastilla was a mute.
"BASTILLA!"
"Wha-," Bastilla finally answered.
"Whats the news?"
"Oh, we've uh, we've found an old former Jedi on the shadowlands of Kashyyyk. His name is... Jolee Bindo."
"Well what do you know," Revan spoke up. "Whats the old man doing there? He just left there!"
Bastilla chuckled. "He hasn't changed one bit. But we've got to go search for Juhani. It's been an honor to speak with you again Revan."
"I can say the same Bastilla." Revan allowed the ends of his lips to curl upwards in a warming smile.
"We'll speak again soon, good-bye everyone." And with that the transmission ended.
