Taris Part 7
Revan woke up early the next morning after hardly sleeping a wink during the night, the events of the day before refusing to leave his head. Sighing, he stood up and went to take a shower. When he got out, he saw that Bastila was the only other person awake.
He walked over to her and sat on the bed next to her. She looked over at him and glared, probably at the fact that Revan wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Yesterday you mentioned that you are more than a soldier from the Endar Spire. What does that mean?" Bastila asked her hand on her lightsaber that was discreetly hidden behind her back.
"I am afraid I can't tell you yet. Once we get off this planet, I swear I will tell you everything you want to know about this, as long as you can answer my questions when the time comes" Revan told her.
"Alright, Avner, I will accept your terms for now" Bastila told him. Revan smiled and stood up, grabbing an unloaded pistol and shooting it at the ceiling.
Everybody in the apartment woke up with a start and they scrambled to their feet, Carth falling on the floor and grabbing his rifle before pointing it at Revan in alarm, throwing on the ground after realization kicked in.
"Wake up and get dressed everybody, we need to get moving if we want to get off of this planet today" Revan told them, hearing groans from his companions, but they all got up and within an hour, Revan was leading the band of 6 toward Janice Nall's droid shop.
They stopped at Janice Nall's droid shop and bought a T3-M4 unit, Revan just paying her without a fight for once, and they went right for the Sith Military Base.
When they got there, Revan had T3 let them into the base and he walked into see the sentry glaring at him and the rest of his group of 7.
"What's going on here? Don't make me hit this alarm!" the sentry snapped, holding her finger over a button.
"Hold on, you don't need to hit that button" Revan said, giving the young woman a cocky smirk and walking up to move her hand away from the button. The young woman blushed and moved away slightly.
"I have to, it is regulation to hit the button if intruders enter the base!" the woman told him.
"If you hit the button, you will alert the base, and I really don't want that to happen, I just want the launch codes from the base. I don't want to kill anybody, could you help me out?" Revan asked, giving her another cocky smile.
"The governor is the one who has the codes. He will be down the elevator to the east of us. But you will also need a pass to get into the elevator" the sentry said, blushing at Revan's calm smile.
"Thank you for your help, now I think you should leave before we start destroying this place" Revan warned, giving her one last smile. She nodded and ran out, leaving Revan to lead the group through the base.
In the first hallway, there were two doors of Sith troopers. Revan, Mission, and Zaalbar went to the west door while Bastila, Carth, Melina and T3 went to the east door.
When they were all done, they went through the door at the end of the hall, where Revan freed a Rodian who was trapped in a force field, presumably to be tortured later.
"Alright, here's the plan. I will go with T3 to the elevator and get the codes from the governor. You guys go west and kill everything left in this base. We don't want anybody to follow us out of here" Revan said.
"You can't go down there alone!" Bastila exclaimed.
"Yes, I can, and I will, Bastila. You will go with the others to clear out this base. No arguments" Revan told her, leaving with T3 going east.
There was one room on the side of the east hallway that Revan had to fight through, but there were only two Sith troopers that Revan had to kill before he was standing outside the elevator door, grateful that somebody had shut down the droids and he didn't have to fight the large droid that was guarding the door.
Revan had T3 slice the way into the elevator and Revan descended into the governor's quarters, leaving T3 on the main level.
When Revan entered the governor's quarters, the bald humanoid was not impressed, at least not until Revan let his force signature out a little bit.
"What's this? A force sensitive on Taris? Who would have thought a force sensitive would be found on this insignificant planet" the governor raved.
"Yeah, what a surprise, right? Even if I wasn't a force sensitive, I could still kick your ass. You just seem so weak" Revan replied casually.
"Forget about trying to convert you to our ranks, once I kill you, my master will surely reward me with my lightsaber" the governor exclaimed, the anger written clear on his pale, wrinkled face.
"What? What Sith doesn't have a lightsaber?" Revan asked, feigning shock. Enraged, the governor lunged at Revan, intent on catching him off guard and killing him with a dagger.
But that didn't work out so well for the poor Sith governor, because the next thing he saw was Revan's stolen lightsaber ignited and himself caught in Revan's hand around the throat. Revan then threw the governor onto the ground, hard.
"As you can see, I have a lightsaber, so we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The easy way, you just give me the launch codes and I go on my way. But the hard way, I have to kill you for it. You are free to choose" Revan said confidently, staring at the governor.
The governor tossed Revan a datapad of the launch codes which Revan checked for the codes, then he nodded at the fearful governor before turning to leave.
But before he could, Revan stuck his lightsaber back behind him and ignited it right into the governor's chest as the governor had attempted to blindside Revan. The last look on the governor's face was that of shock, but he wasn't quite dead yet, so Revan turned back toward him.
"You are pathetic; you couldn't kill me if you tried. Everybody has tried. The Mandalorians tried, Malak tried, even the supreme ruler of the universe tried, but nobody has succeeded yet, and I don't plan on changing that soon. Good luck in the afterlife" Revan said, squeezing his fist and crushing the governor's right lung before leaving the humanoid to die slowly.
Soon after, Revan was in Javyar's Cantina with Bastila, Carth, and Melina. They were sitting across from Canderous Ordo, waiting for drinks to come from the bartender. Once the drinks came, they were able to get down to business.
"Alright, I heard the Sith military base had a break in, and I know it was you. I also know you have the codes I need" Canderous said.
"That is true, but what is your plan to get us off of Taris?" Revan asked.
"Here's what we are going to do. I will take you down to Davik's estate and he will keep you there while doing a background check on you. When he does that, we will sneak out and steal the Ebon Hawk" Canderous said.
"I don't like this, it is too risky. We should find another way" Bastila said, trying to pull Revan up and away from the Mandalorian.
"Do you have another plan, sister? Or are you just upset because you didn't think of it?" Canderous said casually, taking a drink of his Tarisian Ale.
Revan smirked and put a hand on Bastila's shoulder to calm her down as he turned back to the smiling Mandalorian.
"You already know my conditions, so they still apply to our agreement" Revan told the Mandalorian. Noticing that the bigger man was alright with those terms, Revan let out a small sigh of relief.
"You got it. Let's get to work, Canderous" Revan said, standing up and turning to follow Canderous out of the cantina.
"Hold on, Avner. You can't go in there alone. You need to take some backup. Take at least one of us to help" Carth said, nodding at Revan in support.
"I don't know about that; it's going to be tough to get Davik to buy a story if you guys end up there. The only one who might be able to come with us is you" Canderous said, nodding down at Bastila.
"Me? Why me?" Bastila asked.
"Doesn't it make sense, princess? Technically, you are my slave so Davik would believe why I would take you with me to his estate. I wouldn't want my slave to be alone when I am visiting Davik's estate, because it would be easy for you to escape" Revan said.
"That means, princess, that you need to act like a slave, and Avner has to treat you like a slave, even though it is pretty obvious to me that you really aren't his slave" Canderous said.
Bastila scowled at the two men before nodding at Avner, walking up to grab his long hair in her fist.
"Don't get used to this, Avner" Bastila snapped at Revan, glaring at him. Most men would have looked away at Bastila's glare, but Revan just smiled and turned to follow Canderous to the Mandalorian's speeder, with a surprised Bastila coming from behind them.
"Keep your comlink on you, Carth. Once we get the ship, I will contact you. We will want to move as fast as we can, so keep everybody alert and ready to go at any moment" Revan called back to the pilot. Carth nodded, and that was the last thing Revan saw before he was seated in Canderous's speeder.
"This is only a two person speeder" Bastila said, causing Revan to roll his eyes and pull her closer to the speeder. He picked her up without getting out of the speeder and moved her onto his lap, despite the resistance.
"Alright, let's get out of here" Revan said, once he got Bastila onto his lap. Canderous laughed and hit the throttle, sending Bastila back into Revan's chest.
One thing was sure; Revan knew that Bastila was going to kill him as soon as she could do so.
