AN: It's been a long time coming, but I've finally been able to push out this sucker, it's been giving me all kinds of hell (thats what happens when you deviate so far from Kotor's game script, but hey, i like a challenge) but I finished it finally.
I MAY be neglecting some character stories right now but I will get to them eventually...I hope.
At the med-bay of the Jedi enclave Bastila was pacing and had been doing so ever since the Jedi masters had been admitted; she just couldn't fathom what had just happened, Revan had gone against the council, again, and used her weapon to do it. Close by Akana was sitting down, calm and composed, losing herself in the currents of the Force that swept across the planet. A few turns of pacing later Bastila threw her hands up in pure frustration before levelling a glare at Akana.
"How can you be so calm with what just happened with Revan and the Masters? Have you any idea what will happen now?" she exploded. Akana opened her eyes to rebuke the frazzled padawan before closing her mouth; there was no need for her to say anything.
"Bastila you should really calm down, all this stress and tension cannot be good for you." an astral form of Revan said right behind Bastila. Due to her high tension and nerves Bastila jumped 3 feet in the air in shock at the sudden noise, taking to holding her hand to her chest where her frantic heart was beating wildly.
"Revan! What in the Force? How did you get here?" she yelped. Revan chuckled.
"With the Force anything is possible my lovely Jedi padawan princess, you should take a page from Akana's book and meditate, it will make you feel better."
"That doesn't explain how you're here when I know you're on the Hawk!" accused Bastila.
"Actually Bastila is does, Revan's on the Hawk in a Jedi sleeping trance to regain his energy, while in this state Revan most likely projected his thoughts out to us...though I've only heard of a select few Jedi masters being able to use this skill effectively… but the trance is a fundamental skill consulars learn to help channel the Force more effectively." Akana answered.
"Very astute Akana but I'm not here to show off my talents with the Force, I found a potential wannabe Sith in the grove nearby, its rather weak and quite fresh meaning that whoever it is hasn't felt like this for too long, I'd like you two to look into it for me, for I'm…indisposed at the moment. I want you two to handle this because the wannabe sith is a friend of Akana and Belaya, Juhani is in a bad spot right now after a failed test gone wrong sent her over the edge, I think she believes she killed her master in anger but only wounded her, she's currently wallowing in anger over her actions and guilt at having thought she killed Master Quatra." Revan requested.
"But the masters-" Bastila made to protest.
"Will be up and moving by the time you're finished… enough so that we can finally have a civilized discussion, that is the plan at least. In the meantime I've got several of our crew running a few errands, eliminating a few pests here and there, earning a few credits from a few people in need of help." Revan argued.
"I wouldn't have though that Carth would listen to anything you suggest." Akana said dryly.
"Yeah but all it took him to leave the ship was say that there were madalorian mercenaries around the enclave and off he went, Canderous went with him to 'eliminate the trash of the galaxy' as he put it. Besides while everyone is out I can do a few things without being hounded about what I'm doing." Revan said happily causing Bastila to go on edge.
"And what would that be exactly?" Bastila asked in trepidation. Revan clicked his tongue at her.
"That hurt Bas', really," Revan grasped his chest for effect. "I won't do anything Sith Lordish, relax, I was only doing to do a bit of exploring, there are a couple caves on Dantooine with lightsaber focusing crystals in them, I was going to collect a few specialized ones for when I make myself a new pair of sabres, if I'm going to stop Alek from being stupid I have to have a pair."
"The council-" Bastila automatically began to argue.
"Are out of commission for the foreseeable future, besides, they'd never go for what I want to do because of the 'dangers of the dark side'; close minded fools Bas. I wouldn't worry about where I'm going, I'm completely capable of taking care of myself, with or without a lightsaber, all I require is the Force." Revan said before his image faced away. Bastila growled out in frustration, taking a swipe at where Revan's image was only seconds ago.
"That man is incorrigible!" she seethed. Akana cracked up, laughing at her companions actions.
"He's also a real hottie." Akana said with a smirk. Bastila flushed a bright red at this statement and at just how abrupt and blunt Akana's comment had come out. "HA! I knew it; you have a thing for Revan!"
"I do NOT! I am a Jedi; I am above feeling such things." Bastila answered the second half of her retort coming out somewhat robotic. This however made Akana laugh harder.
"Denial!" she sang for a few seconds. "Besides you're not a full Jedi, you're only a padawan learner; Revan and I are so you should respect those in a higher station than yourself." Akana said with a broad grin. Bastila bristled.
'Though you sure have the power of a Knight.' Akana thought absentmindedly.
"You may be a Jedi but Revan sure as hell isn't." Bastila shot out.
"He was never formally expelled from the order, him embracing the Force as a whole and being falsely accused of being a Sith Lord doesn't count." Akana said quick to head off Bastila's oncoming argument.
"Why are you behaving like Revan?" Bastila asked through clenched teeth. Akana stood up, laughing all the while.
"Because it's fun, I can see why he likes doing it. Now come on, the two of us should be able to find out what this presence is and neutralize it, if not and we get into trouble I'm sure the Great Revan will swoop in and save both me and our resident Jedi princess is distress." Akana said with a smirk. Bastila grumbled but begrudgingly followed Akana out of the enclave.
Vrook woke up with a start, instantly up on his feet and moving towards the enclave med-bay exit. The Jedi healer was quick to head him off however.
"Master Vrook what are you doing, you can't leave until you've been checked over." She asked witheringly.
"The one who put us all in here is out roaming the planet's surface, I must go find him." Vrook said stonily.
"One man put all of you in here at the same time? Who was he?" the healer asked in shock, who was that strong to incapacitate the Jedi masters of the Dantooine council.
"A man who has allied himself with the teachings of the sith." The master answered gravely.
"I very much doubt that Master." The healer objected.
"You doubt my judgement?" the balding master asked sharply.
"Well if what you said was true and this man is a sith, then he'd have killed you, all of the wounds that I've treated on you and the other masters are not unlike those padawans receive during a spar. Frankly master, I believe that whoever it was that put you in here did so to illustrate, or more to the point, prove something to you." The healer admitted.
"Or perhaps he is not as powerful as he thinks himself to be." Vrook argued before laying back on the bunk of the med-bay at the healers insistence so she could check him over.
"Basted kinrath!" Revan spat as Force Storm erupted from his hands, frying an entire nest of the damnable creatures, 8 dead corpses smoking on the ground as he walked passed them. "Last time I was here there weren't as many, they've been busy, but this is the best place on planet for lightsaber crystals."
'Now where were those special ones that I found before…' he thought to himself as he navigated the tunnels of the now dead kinrath.
His excursion beared fruits of several crystals of different colours, mainly green, blue and yellow as well as a few power crystals of bondar and rubat.
"I know there is another type here somewhere…where are those sigil crystals?" Revan muttered as he walked deeper into the kinrath nest. Speak of the bugs, there was another swarm headed towards him.
"Sithspit! The sooner I find and kill the matriarch the better, these kinrath are becoming very annoying." Revan spat as arcs of electricity surged from his fingers for what Revan felt was going to be the next of many times to come.
'I just had to decide on three sabres didn't I?' he thought with a scowl.
Akana and Bastila had traversed the plains outside the enclave, letting the Force guide them to the presence that Revan had, and now they, sensed, as they journeyed further outward.
"You know what I find strange about all this?" Akana said suddenly.
"Strange about all of what?" Bastila asked curiously.
"In the short time we've been travelling together, I've learnt more from Revan than I have in all my years as a Jedi, I mean look at us, we're walking across the Koonda plains because Revan said that we should, I just find it funny." She said before walking over a hill where a herd of kath hounds were attacking each other.
"I can see what Revan was talking about now, something is influencing these kath hounds into a rage that's unnatural to them, this has to be Juhani's doing." Akana deduced.
"We should try to go around them, there's no need to get into a fight if we can help it." Bastila said cautiously.
"Fine, we'll do it your way, but I think it's be a good idea to cull them, their minds are far too gone to revert back to the way they were before, there's so much anger being forced onto them from Juhani that they won't ever be the same again."
It didn't take long for the two of them to track the source of what was driving the kath hound mad, and spot a meditating Juhani, though they had to slay several herd of kath hounds to get there.
"Juhani…" yellow slitted eyes flashed open before lashing out from the grove and striking at Akana with a crimson colour sabre. In an instant Akana had her own blade up and active, swiftly blocking the attack.
"I will be your doom!" she snarled as she broke off the sabre lock to initiate another attack.
"Juhani! It's me, Akana! Please calm down, the Force is fuelling your anger, you're not thinking clearly!" the Jedi knight cried as she parried the lunge. Bastila had been split on what to do, she could join the fray physically and risk getting in the way of a close quarters lightsaber duel, impeding both her and Akana's ability to beat Juhani into submission, or dip into her Battle meditation skill and assist the battle that way.
'It would take too long to become effective enough in this situation.' Bastila reasoned. She quickly discarded that thought when Akana backpedalled from a series of power strikes, and sank to her knees and began her ability. The meditation took a moment to kick in before it began to actually affect the battle but it was all was needed before the duel was drawn to a swift close and Akana had disarmed the cathar.
"Juhani calm down." Akana demanded.
"How can I when I'm the one responsible for Master Quatra's death, she's dead and it's all my fault!" Juhani howled.
"Juhani you didn't kill Master Quatra, you only wounded her a little, she's perfectly fine and is now off planet." Akana informed her friend. "That duel was all a test to have you better control your emotions and you obviously failed it. We found out from Revan who told us while we were at the med-bay after Revan had the entire council admitted for trying to kill him." Akana explained. Juhani's defeated expression switched to confusion and wonder.
"Revan is alive? I thought he was dead." The feline woman expressed in disbelief, the anger she was feeling before bleeding way. Then she realized what she's just heard. "Revan's HERE?"
"He's here, he's also far too powerful in the Force to be killed like you've been told, I should know, I was there." Bastila said begrudgingly causing Akana to smirk in amusement. Catching her look Bastila's face became horror struck at what she's just admitted to.
"I'm so telling Revan when we get back." Akana said smugly.
"No you're not! I did not mean to say that, that's not what I meant at all." Bastila groaned. "He's going to go on an ego trip if he does and I'll never hear the end of it."
"Does it really matter if I do or not? He'll find out eventually, after all you aren't the best at keeping anything from him, especially with your Force bond." Akana said smirking heavily. Juhani was turning her head to and from Bastila to Akana, completely confused to what was going on.
"What in sith's name is going on here?" she growled out.
"You know the mission that I was last on, on board the Republic Capital ship the Endar Spire?" Akana asked. Juhani nodded yes.
"Well as it turns out, one of the people in Bastila's group was actually Revan under an assumed name given by the council when they tried to reprogram his mind with a new identity with the assumed name as a preface, you with me so far?" she asked. At Juhani's nod Akana continued.
"Ok as far as I can determine, it was the council's plan to reprogram Revan's mind with a new one while getting Bastila to slice into his memories to uncover the source of the Sith fleet that he was attacking with. Unfortunately for the masters, they were in way over their head with this plan and didn't think that Revan had measures to protect him from what they were attempting. So anyway, They wiped his mind, put a new one in its place and Revan's mind rebooted and he regained his identity but has no memory of the sith fleet of the secret to its power." Akana explained.
"The Republic ship we were on was ambushed by the sith and blew up, we crashed on Taris and mounted an escape on a stolen smugglers vessel and then we came here, where Revan defeated the Jedi masters and is now exploring the planet for focusing crystals for a lightsaber or two before deciding on a plan on action that will stop Malak from destroying the galaxy, your more than welcome to join us, the Jedi won't ever treat you the same after this specialized failed test of yours; hell I'm going to hand in whatever passes for a resignation to the masters when they wake up, the more the merrier in my opinion, I follow Revan from here on out."
"But isn't Revan a sith lord?" Juhani asked questioningly making Akana snort and Bastila outright laugh.
"Revan may have held the title of Lord of the Sith but he wasn't a Sith Lord, he commanded the masses of total morons that hold fast to a belief that is far beyond stupid it's unbelievable. It's not his fault they're morons, the system they based around makes them so." Bastila explained.
"So if you come back to the Enclave with us you can have a talk with Revan about all this when he returns from his exploring for crystals, trust us, it will set your mind at ease of everything that's troubling you, so much more than what you'd get if you begged forgiveness from the masters when it was their fault that you're out here in the first place with the stupid test they had you go through."
"But the Dark side-"
"Doesn't exist!" Bellowed Akana shocking both in her presence. "The sides of the Force only exist in the mind of the one who can feel it, it has no real presence unless you make it so, the Force only has power over you if you let it." Akana said scathingly taking deep breaths having spat her words out so viciously.
"Ok…well in any case we should probably get back to the enclave, who knows how long Revan will take finding lightsaber crystals." Bastila said uneasily before turning around to head back to the Hawk.
The first thing that they saw when they boarded the Hawk was Revan at the workbench, cutting lightsaber crystals to size for use, it seemed that he had acquired quite a few as well.
"Hello ladies, welcome back." He said turning to look at them from the workbench. His eyes sparkled with recognition as his eyes caught the sight of Juhani, who was decidedly nervous at meeting the person that brought her to the Jedi in the first place and in short, her hero.
"Ah, Juhani you're here, good." Juhani's eyes widened a fraction.
'He was expecting me?'
"Not only was I expecting you, I was cutting lightsaber crystals for you to choose from for when you got here." He explained before presenting them with a display of 12 coloured crystals, 3 of each, yellow, blue, green and red. "I'd like you to choose from one of these to be the focus for your new lightsaber." He nodded towards them then to the bench with the resting focusers.
"What would we need a new lightsaber for?" Bastila asked, completely perplexed. "And why are there three red crystals there, while we're at it, red lightsabers are a symbol of the sith." Bastila spoke up. Revan shook his head.
"That is incorrect Bas', the true meaning behind the red lightsaber is not as a symbol of the sith, or the alignment of a person to the dark side; that's the common misconception that the Jedi teach you and it is wholly the followers of Alec's disgraced Jedi (Revan was quick to inform Juhani that Alec was what Revan called Malak, after seeing her confused expression) and wannabe sith lords use red crystals as their focus for their lightsabers but originally the red lightsaber was a symbol of passion and strength, before the Code changed to what it is now and the Light and Dark sides were created." He paused a moment to collate his thoughts.
"As to why there are three of each type I wanted to offer you all the option of choice, that is the only freedom we seem to have within the galaxy, the freedom and option of choice, and what to do with that choice. To answer your first question, those lightsabers won't do you any good from here on out anymore, they belong to three ladies that followed the Jedi teachings without question, that is not who any of you are now, of this I have no doubt. When you indeed come to this realization, gives your current sabres to the Masters and take whichever of these crystals you feel represents you the most; afterwards your journey of the old Jedi teachings will begin." Revan replied earning confused glances from his audience.
"Old Jedi teachings?" Bastila asked. Revan cocked an eyebrow.
"Surely you don't think that the teachings of the Jedi have remained the same since the Oder was first created, do you? The original code is proof enough that the teachings of the Jedi were vastly different from what is and was taught now and when I was a padawan." Revan explained.
"But to hand in our lightsabers means that we want to leave the Order." Juhani protested.
"Well you can't really expect me to teach you anything about the True Nature of the Force if you're still within the Order, can you? Just think on it for a day or so before making up your mind." Revan said before leaving the room, headed for some bed rest.
Days later saw Revan practicing his telekinetic abilities in the cargo hold of the Ebon Hawk, lifting everything not bolted down through the air, himself hovering mid-air in a cross legged position and had been in this state for a good half hour, slowly but surely building up his strength in the skill. While immersed in his trance like state Revan felt a flicker like touch brush across his mind, alerting him to the fact that Master Vandar was awake, the last amongst the council to awaken from Revan's beating, and being briefed on the recent developments.
'Perhaps now I can get some answers, if they learnt their lesson.' Revan thought dryly as he set all of the floating objects around him back to the floor before standing up and leaving the ship, wearing a grey set of robes nearly identical to that of a Jedi's standard clothing but did have durasteel plating fitted through it for added protection. His thoughts touched on his ragtag crew as he moved throughout the enclave.
'It's good to see Mission getting over seeing the obliteration of an entire planet, shows a great deal of inner strength, she's a tough one alright.' He thought with a slight grin. He hadn't seen any sign of Canderous for a while though and it was beginning to grate on his mind as to what the Ordo Mandalorian was up to.
'In any case he can't cause too much trouble by himself, there is little honour to be gained on this boring piece of rock, just small odd jobs and miscellaneous tasks of lazy settlers. Carth has just holed himself up in the cockpit, he really has some anger issues…but Saul was Alek's admiral not mine.' Revan thought sourly, a lot of what happened could be traced back to him but he wasn't the one in control of those atrocities, he was in command of those that did.
Revan sprinted to the courtyard of the enclave, slowing to a casual pace when he caught sight of his three prospective pupils meditating, still assessing their options.
"Hello ladies, how goes your meditation, have you reached a decision yet?" He asked, snapping them out of their trance like states.
"Revan, what's going on?" Bastila asked, keeping quiet so not to have people listen in on them.
"The council will convene soon, if you were ever going to tell the masters off and leave, this would be the opportune moment, the best you'll ever get. I don't want to rush you but you better go in there with a clear decision of your resolve will collapse and you'll be in the palm of their hands once again." Revan said seriously. Using Force Sight, a power that Kreia had taught him early on in his padawan years, he saw all four masters in their outside chambers deliberating. Turning back to the girls he waved at them before leaving them, headed to the council chamber.
"…it really worth keeping it from him when we all know he could simply rip the info out of our minds?" Zhar asked.
"If we tell Revan what he wants to know we'll be right back where we started. Furthermore I don't believe he could attack our minds so completely that he could find what he wants." Vrook said defiantly, pride and arrogance shining through.
"Really now, how sure are you about that exactly?" Revan said from behind them. The Masters tensed and turned to face him, etching towards their lightsabers, all of them noting the three hilts on his belt. "Look I don't want to have to hurt you again, it'll only set us back even further and we can't waste even more time then we already have. I'll defeat Alek and the sith regardless of whether you tell me or not, this way will just make things that much quicker, what is there to be gained by you denying me this information except the loss of more lives?"
"This sounds eerily familiar…" Zhar muttered, remembering the arguments that Revan presented to the council when the Mandalorian wars first started out on the rim. Silence met his words making Revan sigh sadly.
"Your all so stuck in your ways…I didn't want to do this but you leave me no choice." Revan held his hand out, his hand pulsing with a yellow light for the briefest of seconds before beams smacked into each of them. It only lasted a second but it was more than enough to get what he was after. Revan shook his head vigorously as foreign information swam through his mind, but only of the last few minutes, when they were talking before he arrived.
"The ruins to the east of the enclave is where this all starts? Seriously?" He asked scandalized. His head suddenly felt heavy and he stumbled for a few seconds before collapsing, his form crumpling to the stone of the enclave. The four Masters stared in shock, they couldn't believe their luck, the Force had given them a chance to rectify the mistake.
"If we act now we can wipe him of his memory, or kill him here and now." Vrook said instantly moving towards the unconscious Revan. He made it four steps before the sound of multiple people coming towards them could be heard. He looked up to see the faces of Akana, Bastila and Juhani, each taking a stance in front of the downed Revan, blocking Vrook's advance.
"What are you three doing here?" Vrook demanded. "This is a private council matter!"
"I had to see it to believe it, Vrook was going to kill Revan." Akana said in surprise, slowly taking her lightsaber into her hands.
"Put your lightsaber away Akana, you are no match for me." Vrook said sharply. "Can't you see that this has to be done, he's far too dangerous to be left alive."
"You mean controlled, don't you?" Akana spat back. "He'd have been fine if your sith experiment had worked like you planned, enabling you to put a leash on Revan to rein him in, to use him like a weapon. But because that failed he's too dangerous to be left alive, when we all know he's the only one who could find a way to defeat the sith over impossible odds, he did it with the Mandalorian's and he could do it again."
"Jedi knight Thraayen control yourself, your letting your emotion dictate your actions! There is no emotion, there is peace." Doorak spoke up.
"No, there is emotion, peace is an emotion on its own and your telling me there is no emotion? My mind is at peace, I just find it disgusting that I have to stop Jedi masters from playing god with a person's life, like the sith do, that's who you all look like in this light, your all Jedi but your acting like sith at the moment." Akana seethed. The four masters reeled back as if slapped.
"How dare you insinuate that we're acting like sith! We're the Jedi council!" Vrook shot back.
"If you're the one making decisions like this at the head of Order, then I can't be part of it anymore." Bastila spoke up, handing in her double blade to Master Vandar. Shock registered across everyone's faces.
"Young Bastila, you cannot leave, The republic needs you and your Battle Meditation." Vandar called out to her, looking at the sabre in his hands.
"And exactly how am I supposed to use that power if you and the other masters of the Order sit on your hands while we watch the galaxy burn, when we can do something about it, and not allow me to use it? I trusted in the wisdom of this council to decide what to do with my talent to help in this war but all you've done is hinder any attempts made that don't mesh with your ideals." Bastila argued. She was met with silence.
"I'm leaving as well." Akana added, tossing her sabre at Master Zhar. "I cannot condone what you've tried to do, what you were attempting to do and what you were going to do before we came in, I can't be part of this anymore."
"I am leaving as well." Juhani said, after Akana was finished her piece.
"You need counselling for the brush with the Dark side you had." Doorak cautioned. "You can't leave while you are at risk of falling even further into its trap, if you've escaped it at all."
"And who was she going to go to for that? You or one of the other Masters? You who would have beaten her down about her failure to control her emotions, beat her down until she was putty in your hands to do what you wished? Revan helped her with her anger, helped recognize her faults and helped her on the path to better herself." Akana argued.
"I agree with Akana," Bastila spoke up. "This could have all been avoided if you'd just told him about the Star Forge when we first came here. We came here to seek refuge and aid, but you've given us neither, getting away from the sith only to see it here as well." Bastila moved to the unconscious Revan and moved to pick him up.
"Where do you think you're going?" Vrook asked stonily.
"Away from bigoted old fools." Akana replied, moving to assist Bastila.
"It was because of Revan that I am here, let it be because of Revan that I leave here as well." Juhani turned and helped the other two carry Revan away and back to the Hawk. The Masters just stood there, nonplussed at what just happened.
Scrunching his face up suddenly Revan rose from the med in the med-bay of the Hawk, Revan quickly checked his surroundings.
"Augh, the med-bay, just brilliant…at least I'm not in the enclave." He gave praise for that small miracle.
"You have Akana, Bastila and Juhani, I think she said her name was, for that." Mission said, suddenly popping into the med-bay, startling him slightly. "From what they told us when you were brought in, they said that the Masters were going to kill you if they'd have left you in the enclave; at least this way you have people looking out for you." The teenager explained.
"I'll have to thank them next time I see them, I don't believe that I was the lightest thing to carry from the enclave back here." He grunted as he sat up gingerly.
"I would ask what it was that knocked you out but I'll wait till everyone's around so you don't have to repeat it." Mission said quickly before disappearing again. Revan touched his head with his hands, trying to clear it from its jumbled up state.
'So whatever it is they're keeping from me is within the ruins to the east of the Enclave…anything else is too jumbled up to determine.' He thought before getting off the bed and leaving for the Hawks main conference room. He'd leeched the surface thoughts of all four Masters at the same time, which had him black out with the overload of information, but it got him the necessary information to start his quest to stop Alek. The various members of the Ebon Hawks crew filtered through the passages of the ship till they were all present, Carth the furthest away and the closest to the exit ramp, predicably.
"Alright everyone listen up, because I'm only going to say this once; with information I gained from the Jedi council I now know how to stop the sith." This had Carth on alert instantly. "The Sith are using a massive space station/factory to produce the numbers they've got, called the Star Forge. Now I don't know where the Star Forge is but I know somewhere on Dantooine there exists something that will have that info, at least in a general sense. It might be possible to glean parts of my lost memories if I left a strong enough Force presence there but we won't know till we get there."
"Where is this place that might have what we're looking for?" Akana asked curiously.
"It is an underground ruin east of the enclave, so it's not too far away, we aren't going over there just yet." Curious gasps and murmurs were heard throughout the Hawk.
"Why not?" Carth demanded.
"Well it's quite simple really, some of you are not yet equipped to undertake the journey, myself included, so until Akana, Bastila, Juhani and myself have created new lightsabers no one's going near the ruins where the Star Forge's information is, there are dangers within that none of you are yet prepared for yet, that much I know for a fact. I'm telling you because I don't lead the uninformed, but don't go thinking that you should go off and tell anyone about this, if Alek even for a second senses what we're up to in finding the Star Forge, the task in finding it will be that much more difficult, so for everyone's safety aboard the Hawk, do not tell anyone under any circumstances what you or I am doing."
AN: There may be inconsistancies that I haven't seen, if you see any please tell me and I'll do my best to correct it.
If you couldn't tell, I have no love for the Jedi philosophy of no attachment and the notions of the light and dark side of the Force. Grey all the way! This will, obviously change things up from what the game shows, but I feel that this will be far more realistic.
There might be some, that when reading this might say that I'm having characters change too quickly but I don't really give a shit, this is my story and I'm going to do it my way where I know I can have fun with it, that was my primary motivation in writing this, to have fun with the game where I could not before whilst actually playing the game. (I confess I reinstalled in it my computer, but it crashes quite a lot because I installed mods to it, which while making it more enjoyable, also makes the game quite unstable.)
Anyway, that's all from me, until next time!
May the Force be with you, always.
