Chapter 15

"Where is he, Mission?" Revan asked; an annoyance was heard in his voice. They've been walking through the sewers for over half an hour already, and they didn't find anything. They've only encountered few Gamorreans, as well as over a dozen of strange, pale creatures, that they were fighting against in the Undercity.

"We're almost there, trust me" she replied, looking around. But her face betrayed her. She wore an expression, that showed, she was lost.

"You're lying kid" Rex spoke, taking a better grip on his blaster rifle.

"No! I promise!" she screamed, looking at them frantically. Tears were forming in her eyes. "We're almost there, we just have to…" she started but was cut off by Revan.

"He's not here, is he?"

"Well, theoretically, he is, but…"

"So theoretically, or is he truly somewhere down here?!" Revan shouted at her, clenching his teeth. They were wasting time.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you!" she shouted back. "I don't know where he is!"

"I knew it," Rex said, cutting her off. "We've been only wasting our time!"

"Then why did you bring us here Mission?" Revan asked, this time with a peaceful voice. He crossed his arms over his chest, as he was waiting for the reply.

"Cause he's in here, I'm sure of it. But I don't know where exactly." the blue Twi'lek murmured.

"You don't know where exactly?" Rex mimicked the girl, eyeing her carefully. She was now biting her lower lip, holding off the tears, that threatened to run down her face. "These sewers might run for miles in every direction, and yet you tell us, that you don't know, where he is."

Revan let out slowly a breath through his nose. They've wasted a lot of precious time here in the sewers.

"Then what are we doing here Mission?"

"I've told you!" she shouted back with an angry voice. "My friend was captured. Zaalbar is somewhere here. The Gamorreans couldn't go far away. And saving him is my priority!"

"And our companion was also captured!" Rex replied with the same tone, as the girl in front of him.

"And what of it?" she spat back. "Why is she superior to my friend? Only because she is some Jedi Sorcerer doesn't make her more valuable than any other being on this planet!"

Revan could see her point. After all, he would do the same, he realized. He began to understand the girl in front of him a little better. But that didn't change the fact, that they were in hurry.

"So that's why we're in here?"

"Well, yes. But still, I can lead you to this girlfriend of yours" she quickly added. Revan, not knowing why blushed slightly at that. "Your companion is not that far from here, actually. She's in the Vulkar Base and..." she started but was cut off by Rex.

"That's in the Lower City. We might as well not go down here."

"Well, that's not true" Mission replied. "The entrance to the Vulkar Base is locked from the inside. So, unless you have the pass card, you won't enter their hideout from the Lower City."

"So how, the fuck, will we be able to get in there?" Rex asked; an anger was clearly heard in his voice.

"Woah, calm down a little" the blue Twi'lek answered, raising her hands defensively. "Actually, there's a second entrance to their base. One located here, in the sewers. Once we save Zaalbar, I'll take you there, I promise" she added, pleading them with her eyes. The former Dark Lord saw the truth in them. She wasn't lying to them.

"Okay, let's hurry" Revan replied. Mission's expression visibly lightened. She turned around and began to walk further into the sewers. Revan, Rex, and Canderous were following her closely behind.

"You know Mission, you could just simply tell us, that you don't know exactly, where he is. It could have saved us some time, if we just split in the beginning" Revan said, catching up with her.

"Well, I was a little unsure, you know?" she replied, not looking at him. "I was afraid, that if I tell you, you won't help me. And there was no one else I could have asked for help. After all, how could I be sure, that you would help me?"

"Well, I see your point" he answered. "But for the next time, just tell right away" he added with a small smile. Mission looked up at him and returned the smile.

"Thank you…"

"Alen" Revan replied.

"Thank you Alen" she repeated. "So, you're a Jedi, aren't you?" she asked, changing the topic. To precise what she meant, she pointed the lightsabers' handles, that were clipped to his belt.

"Well, not exactly" Revan responded, avoiding the straight answer. "Let's just say, that I know a few Jedi tricks. I used to train as the Jedi Padawan, but let's just say, that the Jedi didn't like me much" he added, chuckling slightly."But, not a word about that to anyone, you got it? Not everyone knows about my past, and I'd rather want that to keep it that way" he said, pointing his finger at her.

"Hey! You don't have to worry about me!" she answered with a joyful tone. "I can keep a secret. You can count on me!" Mission added, punching him lightly in the arm. Revan smirked in an answer, as they continued on down the sewers.


"Hurry up T3!" Carth shouted, firing at the Sith soldier. They've managed to buy an astromechanical unit in a store in the Northern Upper City. Right now, they were in the Sith Military Base. He, Fox and Wolfie were fighting with the soldiers, while T3-M4 was getting an access into the computer.

The droid only let out a series of beeps and whistles as an answer. Carth turned back his attention to the soldiers, that were running into the room they were in. They've kept on killing dozens of them, and they kept coming.

Fox and Wolfie, on the other hand, were on the cloud nine. It's been a while if you don't count the Endar Spire since they had a possibility to fight. And to be outnumbered by the enemy, it was something that caused them to be filled with joy. The Sith soldiers were no match for them. But nevertheless, it was good to shoot again.

A series of beeps and whistles were heard from the T3. He did it. He managed to get the launching codes.

"Fox, Wolfie cover me," Carth said, hiding behind the desk, T3 was working at. "I'll contact Alen about our progress" he finished. The two men only nodded in response.

"This is Carth Onasi. Alen do you hear me?" he said at his communicator, that was placed on his wrist. But no answer came back.

"I repeat, Alen do you hear me?" he asked again. This time a series of muffled sounds came as the response.

"Can you repeat?"

"I… er yo… arth" was the muffled response.

"Did you find Bastila?" Carth asked.

"…ot ye… we… rking on tha…"

"We have the launching codes"

"…od. Wa… for u… in th… apart…" was Alen's response. Even though the message wasn't clear, Carth could make out what his companion has said. They were meant to come back to the apartment they were using as the shelter.

"Copy that" Carth responded, turning off his wrist communicator. He stood up from behind the desk. He saw Fox and Wolfie leaning against the wall, the Sith corpses lying everywhere around them. Apparently, no one else was coming here.

"We have what we wanted. Let's get out of here" Carth said to his two companions. Again, they've only nodded in response. "Come on T3!" he shouted at the droid. He followed the three humans without a sound.


Revan turned off his communicator. So far, the Force, or luck, was working with them. The only thing they had to do, was to find Bastila. And a ship, of course.

"Zaalbar!" Mission's shout brought him out of his thoughts. They've entered a small chamber, a Wookie standing in the middle of it. The Twi'lek girl ran up to the creature and hugged it tightly. The beast let out a series of groans and roars.

"I can't believe we've been wasting our time to rescue a… a… a walking, hairy carpet" Rex murmured under his breath for Revan only to hear it. The man only nodded in response. Indeed, it was a little… infuriating to know, that they've spent the past hour on saving a Wookie.

"This is your friend Mission?" Revan asked.

"Yeah. His name is Zaalbar. Or Big Z, as I call him" she introduced, turning to her companions. The mentioned Wookie let out a roar, that sounded a little like a warning. The three men raised their hands defensively. Even if they outnumbered him, he still could deprive them of few limbs. And they preferred to remain in one piece.

"Woah! Easy there, buddy!" Mission tried to reason the mad Wookie. "They're friends! They helped me to save you!" she added, soothing him. Zaalbar visibly relaxed at that and let out the another series of growls and roars, this time of the calm ones. But still, he held an offensive pose.

"He says, that you saved him from a life of servitude and slavery" Mission translated, looking at Revan. "And that he actually swears you a life debt. As an act of repaying," she added, watching the Wookie carefully. Revan was taken aback by that. He's heard of that form of gratitude amongst the Wookies, but he has never considered the possibility of having his own walking carpet doing his every wish. He smiled at the thought. He could already imagine this, so called, Zaalbar, ripping Malak limb by limb. It was a… nice perspective for the future. Perhaps he will even let the Wookie to take care of his former apprentice. After he was done with him, of course. The only thing he could still ask for was to have the HK-47 at his side. Sometimes he missed that rusty, psycho droid. But he was lost somewhere in the Mandalorian Space, tracking down the man, who called himself the new Mandalore.

"I'm glad to accept your offer Zaalbar. I will be honored to have you as a companion" Revan replied, faking an official tone, and bowing slightly. The Wookie returned the gesture with another series of growls and roars.

"He says, that you're unusually kind, for your species" Mission translated with a small smile. Revan also smiled. If only they knew, he thought.

"Okay Mission, we've kept our part of the deal. Time for you to keep the promise" Revan said, crossing his arms over his chest. The blue Twi'lek looked at him with a questioning gaze. Then the realization hit her.

"Oh, yes. Follow me!" she exclaimed, passing the three men by, and walking out of the chamber. Zaalbar was walking closely behind her.

"I always wanted to have my own Wookie slave" Rex whispered to Revan, causing the younger man to chuckle slightly. He shook his head.

"Forget that, he belongs to me" he replied, giving him a shot in the ribs. Rex only laughed at the response.

Revan's thoughts now came back to one thing, that wasn't letting him go for some time now.

"By the way, how have you managed to escape Mandalore's ship Canderous?" he asked, directing the question to the oldest men of the three of them.

"Well, it was difficult, I must admit" the Mandalorian began. "All of us were in the shock after you've killed the Mandalore. Then, we were brought back to presence, when we felt the ship being pulled towards Malachor. All of us rushed to the escape pods. First time in my life, I was actually running away from the battlefield. I remember that me, Cassus Fett, and Gorse Bendak have managed to escape. Rest of the commanders weren't so lucky. I swear, I've almost heard their screams, when the ship was being crushed by that strange device of yours" he said.

"And what happened with you next?" Revan continued, visibly intrigued.

"We've managed to find a temporary shelter. One of, not so many, remaining Mandalorians' ships has taken us over, and we've left the Malachor System. We were trying to find ourselves a new home since we couldn't go back to Dxun, thanks to you. After some time, we have split up. I have no idea what has happened with Cassus. But I know that Bendak decided to become a bounty hunter. He was a pretty good one, from what I've heard, until a price on his head was set. Then, he abandoned his job and became a gladiator. I've heard, that he even is here, on Taris."

"Have you spoken with him?" Rex, who joined the conversation, asked intrigued.

"Not really. He spends his entire free time at the cantina, drinking, and fighting. He's not the man he used to be" Canderous answered.

"And how are you any better?" Revan asked, eyeing the man in front of him carefully. "You're working for the local crime-lord, doing his every wish. You've become his toy, a puppet. You're not the same field marshal, who I fought against during the war. You're not the Mandalorian anymore."

That hit the point. Canderous immediately launched himself at the younger man, trying to grip him by his throat. A pure hatred was visible in the man's grey eyes. But Revan was prepared for this reaction. He wanted to provoke it. He jumped back and caught the man with the Force, putting him in stasis.

"I haven't said that to infuriate you Canderous" be began, watching the man in front of him. "I've said that, cause I wanted you to realize something. I wanted you to see, what you have become. You have fallen lower than I expected. And now, I want to give you the opportunity to take back our honor. I give it to you, and all the remaining Mandalorians. I know, that it wasn't the decision of any one of you to attack the Republic. And now, I give you a chance to redeem yourselves. I know what's out there. And I'm planning to fight that. But I will be needing help. So I ask you. Are you with me?" he asked, unfreezing the man. He collapsed on the ground. Revan lowered himself to be eye-level with Canderous. He extended his hand.

"Hey there! Are you coming?" Mission's yell interrupted them.

"Yeah, yeah, give us a minute" Revan shouted back.

"This is a chance for you and every other Mandalorian to take back what you have lost in the war. You have the opportunity to take back your honor" Canderous could see the point in this, what the younger man was saying. But still, it hurt to hear about the honor. It was sacred to Mandalorians, and they've lost it. But yet, there was a chance. The old field marshal didn't have to think long on the answer. He took Revan's hand and allowed the younger man to lift him up.

"I'm glad I have you on my side, Canderous," Revan said with a smile. The old Mandalorian returned the gesture.

"I'm glad, that I can follow you" he responded.

"Very well. Now, we have work to do, don't we?"


"What is in there?!" Rex asked Mission. His face went deadly pale, as his brain registered the information it got. There was a Rancor behind the very door, they were standing next to. Revan looked downwards. There was laying an arm, ripped from the body. A small trail of blood was heading to the chamber behind the closed doors.

"You've heard me, soldier!" Mission responded with a mocking tone, crossing her arms over her chest. "And what? You're not so brave, I see. As it happens, I've managed to get past that beast few times, actually."

"Come here, you little…" he started but was cut off by Revan.

"We don't have time for that," he said, walking to the doors.

"Hey! What do you think You're doing?" Rex shouted as he was watching his leader.

"Isn't that obvious? I'm going inside" Revan replied, and, before anyone could stop him, he launched himself forward. He unclipped his lightsabers, as he was running at the beast, that was standing in the middle of a stack, made of the human corpses. He ignited his sabers, jumping in the air. The Rancor turned around, as he heard the footsteps. He registered Revan after the man landed on the creature's head.

The former Dark Lord plunged one of his lightsabers into the beast's head. Rancor only let out a painful groan in response and shook violently. Revan had a hard time trying to hold his footing. He used his second lightsaber as an anchor, as he was riding back down. His feet softly touched the ground beneath. Rancor's head followed closely behind. And then, it's entire body collapsed on the ground, dead. Th fallen Jedi Knight turned around to his companions, who were staring at him with wide eyes.

"Hurry up! The sooner we find Bastila, the better" he said walking further into the chamber. The two men, Twi'lek, and a Wookie shook themselves from the temporary trance they were in. None of them said the word.

"Care to show us the way into the Vulkars' Base?" Revan asked mission. The girl said nothing in response, only took the place at the front. The group followed her into a small corridor that was ended with a ladder. She began to climb it, her companions following closely behind.

It took them around ten minutes to get to the top of the ladder. Mission slowly lifted the trapdoor and looked around.

"Okay, the area's clear" she whispered and walked out from the sewers. One by one, her companions followed her.

Revan let out a sigh when he entered the room. Finally, they were close to saving Bastila.
