Chapter 4
"It's so good to have you back again." Brianna said clinging to Gavin's arm. "It's good to be back. Although I have to ask did you give birth after I left?" Gavin asked looking down at Brianna. "Well yes that is what normally happens after what occurred between us." Brianna said teasing Gavin with a small smirk. "I know that! It's just that I met our son earlier." Gavin said blushing. "Really when?" Brianna asked curiously. "Earlier when Revan and I were in the market." Gavin explained. "Well I was actually planning on your meeting on being a surprise but I guess that won't happen." Brianna said disappointed. "Oh it was a surprise. I fainted when I found out you were his mother." Gavin said with a chuckle. "Wait you fainted when you found out you had a son but yet you took down a Sith Lord like it was a walk in the park." Brianna said jokingly. "Come on having a son and fighting a Sith Lord are two very different things." Gavin said in defense. "I agree but-." "Mom! I need your help a friend of mine is in a fight with Gran." Durham said running up to his parents. "What where?" Gavin asked. "In the training courtyard." Durham answered. After hearing this Gavin began a sprint to the training courtyard.
..!
"So where were you born?" Bastilla asked with a curious tone and glimmer in her eye. "I was born on Dromund Kass, but I was raised on Deralia with my parents." Revan answered. "What were your parents like?" "My mom was beautiful, she had long black hair, and the brightest pearl eyes, now my dad he was a big one he had a shaved head and goatee. The one thing I'm sure of is that you and Satele meet them before the Sith arrive." Revan said with a big smile. "That would be wonderful. What did you family do for a living?" Bastilla asked. "Well My dad and I would work either on the fields or in the crystal mine on our farm, my mom mostly took care of the house but she would occasionally play music in her free time." Revan responded. "What were their names?" "Maita and Kamros." "When did you join the order?" "I was taken to the temple on Dantooine first when I was eight; Master Kreia had found me when she had come to our farm to buy some lightsaber crystals for the enclave." This continued for what seemed like hours until Satele came barging in. "Mom! Gran is in a fight with Jackson!" Satele said running in out of breath. "Wait who?" bastilla said standing up "Some guy that dad brought to temple with him I just-." Satele stopped when she saw her father. Revan walked up to his daughter and hugged her. "It's great to see you hun." Revan said with a smile. "While I hate to break apart this reunion we should probably break up Gran's fight." Bastilla said reminding the two. "Yeah." Revan said using the force to augment his speed dashed to the training courtyard.
..!
When they came onto the scene they saw Gran electrocuting Jackson with lightning. To prevent Jackson's death Revan separated the two by creating a powerful force wave across the whole arena. "That's enough!" Revan yelled. Walking down into the training are Revan began his rant until he saw Gran had disappeared. "Grr! Satele get him to the ward your mother and I have to meet with the council." Revan said looking in the area Gran fell for any sign of where he went "Yes father." Satele said cradling Jackson to her chest.

Both crews of the Ebon Hawk Walked into the council chambers to discuss what their next move will be. "We have persuaded the chancellor to begin distributing troops into battle all we need are the locations to fortify and the equipment from the forges to distribute." Atris said as they all entered the room. "That was quick." Atton said with raised eyebrows. "The Republic is more likely to go into to battle with the Jedi at their side and the forge's." Gavin said in response. "Well we should fortify the outerrim the most heavily, because the Empire will have to move from the outside-in, next the midrim worlds and finally the core worlds."Revan said. You could already tell that the gears in his head were working up a storm. "Where do you plan on getting the man power from? The Republic won't be able to have that many soldiers ready in time." Jolee pointed out. "That won't be a problem my warriors are ready to return the favor to those back-stabbing Sith." Canderous said while pounding his chest in salute. My warriors are also ready to repay the Life-Debt Kashyyk owes to Revan." Zalbaar growled in his native tongue. "And Queen Talia's men are ready for battle, and there are also a few gangs on Nar Shadda that owe me and Atton some favors." Gavin added. "Enough to be a formidable force against the Sith hmm? Believe that the odds would be in our favor with allies like these." Vandar said with a small smile. "There are also battle droids being built as well." G0-T0 added. "Well then let's not waste time, Canderous head back to Dxun and prep your warriors for battle, Zalbaar you the same, Carth all the ships you could want are being shipped to Telos as we speak get recruiting and prepare a fleet, Atton head to Nar Shadda and call in those favors, Gavin you and Brianna head to the Echani home world and see if you can rally their support, G0-T0 get those droids active, and finally I'll send the coordinates to the Republic military command. Revan commanded. After this the said persons left to prepare for war. "Mira, Juhani could you go and look for a missing student by the name of Gran?" Bastilla asked. "Of course." Juhani said. "What happened with the brat now?" Mira asked. "He got into a fight with Jackson because he was picking on Durham and after the fight was broken up he disappeared." Gavin explained. *Sigh* "I hope nothing bad happens to him." Jolee said.

"You idiot! What were you thinking? You could've been hurt or worse! You Idiot!" Satele said in frustration at an unconscious Jackson. During this time Satele began to notice his figure a little more. She noticed how his arms would contract with every inhale and relax with every exhale, how his chiseled body rose and fell in time with his breath. But looking at the wounds from his fight was almost too much to bear for her. The lightning had left wounds that would turn into scars. In the end Satele began to weep at the thought of the pain that coursed through his body. "Hey don't stain that pretty face of yours over me. It can take quite a bit of abuse; it's what I'm good at." Jackson said with a small smilewiping her tears away. Wiping away the rest of her tears Satele held on to his hand and sat with him in comfortable silence with her parents in the doorway holding each other with knowing smiles on their faces.
