(A/N) Alright them mystery planet is revealed in this chapter, as well as some other odd things. I think it's a rather odd turn out. Well read it and tell me what'cha think.
Chapter 4:Final Battle of Kancrod
Drendan and Revan were bloody and beaten, there ankles tied to rough rope still, hanging upside down above a fiery pit, blazing, making the two warriors sweat intensly.
"What are your names outsiders?" The one who had taken there lightsabers asked in a voice of authority, obviously the cheif.
"Ugh..." Drendan tried to speak but he was barley concious, his whole body ached and burned, bloody and sweaty. He didn't see why he should talk, but he tried anyways.
"Dran... Dr... Drrr... Drendan... Klime.. No... Kline.. Yes.. Drendan Kline." Drendan choked out, coughing blood onto his tunic.
"And you?" The cheif pointed at Revan.
"Go kiss a hutt you no-life scum-" Revan's faint chokes were cut off by a shocking pain in his back, caused by some sort of unknown wepon by one of the men.
"What is your name?" The Cheif asked.
"Darth Revan you slum.."
"Darth Revan and Drendan Kline," The Cheif began."Never have heard of you."
The Cheif could tell how weak they were.
"I am Jredkon. You see we want information." The Cheif seemed to have no fear in his eyes as he stood in front of the fire in the middle of the night.
"What do you want from us," Drendan spat out.
"We want to know where you came from, what has been going on in the galaxy, who you really are, and what these wepons are that make beams of light." The Cheif indicated there lightsabers on his waist.
"And if we don't talk?" Revan asked weakly.
"Then you die." The Cheif pointed at the fire pit. "Your choice. Give us the information or die."
"Choice 1 or 2 huh?" Drendan asked almost cashualy.
"Wha... Yes, choose. One or two." Jredkon spoke suspiciously.
"Oh really, well what about choice number three?" Revan asked extremely casually
"What's... What's choice number three?" Jredkon asked.
"THIS!" The two prisoneers shouted in unison. They summoned the force to bring
there sabers to there hands to cut the rope around there legs quickly while swinging using leg strength. As the ropes cut they flew past Jredkon and landed in battle position untouched by the fire.
"What is this! Guards! Atta-" Jredkon tried to command but the two jedi already put them in a statis field leaving them unconcious on the ground. Their sabers hummed as the others backed away in fear.
"Oh my... You two are... Jedi?"
"No the Jedi Order has been destroyed, and I was exiled long before that and Revan chose to leave for his own reasons." Drendan spoke confidently even though he still did not know Revan's reasons entirely himself.
"Then what are you- Sith!"
"No we are not sith either," Revan spoke calmly. "We are simply protectors of the galaxy, we are trying to defeat the Sith rather than join them, and we mean the real species not the false followers."
"So you are... Oh my I appologize my friend, you see we are enemies of the Sith as well but we are afraid of outsiders as we do not know much about the other worlds, which is why we attacked you.. We are very protective here on Kancrod, I am sorry Mr.Kline."
"No, it is..." Drendan paused for a moment grunting in dismay looking for the right words. "Fine. It is fine."
"Yes but what are these enemies you speak of? Do you mean that the Sith are here?" Revan questioned, brushing dirt off his tunic and shutting his saber off.
"No no they have some.. some off world technology.. Like the ship you came in on, except much wider, much bigger, they carry many men on board and attack us or come to rob us of our natural resources or anything we have.. But we don't have much... And when we don't have anything... We die.. Slowly. Tortured. One, by one, by one, forced to watch our family and friends die in agony and scream out for help but there is noone there to help them."
Drendan spit in the ground. "Disgusting.."
"So when do they come?" Revan asked seeming almost unaffected.
"Various times... They come on some far away large island bigger then this one, mainly because there ship wouldn't fit on here, on this island, so they come on board large ships.. Water ships, they come and when they hit land, they attack.
"What's the normal time they come?" Drendan asked.
300"Sometimes normally within every two months period.. If we are correct.. They should be attacking.. In two days!"
Drendan and Revan looked at eachother wide eyed.
"Oh you must help us oh wise Jed- uhh, soldiers! Please stay here and help us fight off these demons so that we may live in piece!" Jredkon pleaded with the two.
"Well, we are out here to destroy the Sith and help save the galaxy." Drendan said.
"Yeah, well if theres a large ammount of Sith coming, we better get prepared." Revan commanded.
And for the rest of the night the men worked together to create wepons. Revan and Drendan led the men back to there ship and handed out as many wepons as possible, giving anything between armor, blasters, snipers, explosives, pretty much anything that they could spare. They loaded up the ship and helped eachother work on the turrets and cannons, working on mounting good defenses and stocking up on wepons and ammunition, all untill it was ready for battle.
Drendan and Revan sat aboard the top tower of the newly prepared ship, they had seen the ships coming and now they sat and watched, waiting for any sign of the water ships to come and attack. It had been hours before they had seen anything even remotley close to a sith water ship. They waited and waited.
"Wait..." Drendan whispered. He looked through the electric binoculars. "Wait..."
Then Drendan saw it, the small speck coming closer and closer.
"Revan, Revan, come, look do you see it?"
"Yes... Yes I do... Everyone! Battle stations!" Revan shouted and everyone got into postitions.
The men scattered and scrambled to there wepons, grabbed short blaster rifles and pistols to hook to there belts or backs then manned cannons and turrets.
"Ok men! Steady..." Drendan looked as he saw the ship coming closer. "Ready... Aim..." The men robotically aimed looking through there scopes and aim views. "Ready... Aim..." Drendan repeated. "... FIRE!" And so the battle begun. The first shots were fired, blue blaster bolts shot out across the open sea hitting something in the distance, causing a small burst of fire
Revan looked through the binoculars. "Direct hit!"
"Ok load up those cannons again! Auto-turrets, fire off a few more rounds then go for some heavy artillary! Make sure you've got close ranged blaster pistols and energy sheilds, secure your battle armor and fire at will!" Drendan barked out commands like he was a war hero instinctivley. Revan was impressed with Drendans leadership. The Kancrodians were impressive with there battle skills however, firing good shots only, hitting them with everything they had.
"Wait... Whats this.." Drendan looked at something coming straight for them at intense speeds. "Uh-oh.. Missle! Everybody hit the deck!" Drendan jumped down the ladder and practically slid down it as fast as he could to avoid falling off such a high place. Revan was close behind, and was about 3 yards from the ground when the ship rocked with the impact, causing Revan to fall face first into the hard deck. Drendan got up and climbed up the ladder after making sure Revan would be fine. Drendan peaked above the tower floor to see the ship was alot closer. He stood up on the deck again and Revan followed.
"My Force... Look at that.. " Drendan began stuned. The missle took out a large and wide piece of the ship, leaving many young Kancrodians dead. "Fire!" Revan shouted.
Drendan could see the ship nearing and saw the men preparing a large cannon. They musn't have thought that someone was going to start a war with them in the middle of the seas head on, since most of there wepons seemed unloaded. Drendan looked down at a handful middle-aged men with one knee down near the edge of the ship between cannons, firing off snipper shots nailing Sith soldiers in the head. A Sith turret fired off a turret that left only 3 of the snippers alive.
Then Revan realized it.
"Drendan these are the followers not the species! This is Malak's technology and battle schemes, these are his soldiers in his armies armor! With Malak being dead and all, they must've survived somehow... They must've been this far out in the galaxy all this time in case something happened to Malak's fleet!"
"None the less we still must kill them, they are Sith soldiers.. And maybe a few dark jedi there.. But you get the point Revan, we have to take them down."
By now the ship was getting pretty close to the Kancrodians and there was a large enough gap in the ships main deck for them to open up a bridge between the ships and come into close ranged battle.
"Revan." Drendan murmmered. "Let's go, no more we can do up here, time to get into the midst of this, with our sabers.
Revan grinned and nodded. The two climbed down and made there way to the bridge just as it dropped down. Drendan and Revan's red and blue light sabers activated as they turned to the others and rose there sabers in the air.
"Charge!" The two warriors shouted as the Sith began crossing over. Drendan ran straight towards two sith soldiers and sliced ones side, then brung his left leg straight across to the right at the other sith soldier's head, knocking him off balance into the deep waters. Revan leaped and flipped in the air curled in a ball before landing in between three sith soldiers and a dark Jedi. Revan pushed the dark jedi back first with the force then spun around slicing at the necks of two sith warriors trying to fire off shots, then turned to the third stabbing at his torso. By then the dark jedi was already recovered from the push and charging with a power thrust coming down on Revan's head. Revan brought his wepon up to block it and easily overpowered the dark jedi, sending his saber back, then kicked him in the side. The dark jedi staggered back and then too lost his head at the hands of Revan.
Many soldiers carying blaster rifles lined the deck where there weren't turrets, and blasted at the sith if they could. The Sith would throw gernades and knifes at the unhelmeted warriors. However some manned the turrets and mowed down a straight line of sith and three dark jedi lining the balcony of the deck who couldn't move out of the way in time.
Another explosive was tossed onto another area of the Kancrodian ship. It exploded on impact, taking the lives of seven men, all trying to push through to fire off more rounds at the Sith. The Sith pulled down another bridge and boarded across, flanking those who were trying to get onto the Sith ship. There was a great mix of Kancrodian and Sith soldiers on the Kancrodian ship, all blasting off shots at one another. Eventually a Kancrodian who could be no more then 15 years of age ran out weilding a virbroblade madly screaming. A Sith trooper viciously pulled out a Sith vibroblade and made a succesfull stab at the boys arm. The boy fail back in pain and tried to push himself back but another Sith fired off a shot into his chest.
This started a large battle of swords between the two. Men were clashing metal infront of them angerly and hatefully, severing body parts and cutting flesh, stabbing and occasionaly blasting. The Kancrodians began to lose numbers greatly however, their wepons were not as tough as the Sith's swords, and the Sith's armor was quite tough compared to the handmaid armor.
"Revan we have to get that missle launched." Drendan tried to speak when not swinging away at the dark jedi in front of him.
"Is Jredkon ready?"
"He has to be."
"Very well then Drendan, I will send Kroyn after him."
A few moments later the Cheif of the Kancrodians came out barring a large missle launcher leaned against a wall and kneeled down aiming for a large gorup of dark jedi and sith. By the time the dark jedi realized they were targeted they were hit. Many flew out into the sea and drowned, considering how they couldn't swim injured if you could call something that bad an injury. Others were crushed against the wall or exploded simply. The explosion was so large that it busted the wall behind the targets and the top of the second deck came crushing down on everyone in the large room that lead to everywhere else in the ship. A large chunk of the wall came crushing down on the survivors.
Drendan and Revan continued there rampage taking down everyone they could find. With the main entrance covered, everyone would be trapped in the Sith ship. Drendan and Revan finished off the last of them and deactivated there lightsabers, placing them firmly on there belts.
"Well," Drendan said panting. "We did it!"
"Hoo-rah!" The soldiers gladly shouted together.
"Heh, that was too easy, I guess we've just gotta rest a bit, then clear out the rest of thos-" Revan stopped and they all turned to the large ceiling which was wrecked. It was moving slowly, wobbling from side to side.
"The dark jedi!" Revan spat out. "There using the force to-"
Pheum! Pheum!
The two were hit in the head with stun blasters. They turned but were too late. The Sith had escaped on the bottom levels of the sith ship to climb up behind the soldiers. But the Sith blasters were more hi-tech and powerful, there was no way that the small gorup of soldiers could defeat all the Sith. They dropped their wepons and put their hands up in surrander as there two generals laid unconcious, or dead..
