Chapter 14
"Laser shields? We're smarter than this!"
"Apparently not." Anakin remarked sarcastically. "I'd recommend-" The laser shields shut off.
"That's better." Everyone looked at Revan. She blinked and shrugged innocently. "Laser shields annoy me."
"But…how?" Anakin asked. 'Force, I'm even more in love with her now…"
She shrugged again. "I was a hacker before I was a Jedi. I just did some of my hacking moves, only with the Forc- Shit, there's a bunch of droids around the corner."
The next second, a small squadron of Heavy Battle Droids rolled around the corner. With the familiar snap-hiss, three lightsabers shot out. Anakin and Obi-Wan instantly flew into action, their teamwork perfected by years of practice. This gave Revan the chance she had been waiting for, as she stepped back in the guise of defending the Chancellor.
"Sidious."
"Revan." He acknowledged, one Dark Lord recognizing another.
"Listen. I know what you are trying to do." She explained in a furious whisper, channeling Insanity into her voice. "I've felt the Dark Side Taint on him. But I want you to know, Anakin will swear loyalty to me. I am the Dark Lord who was baptized in the deathfires of Malachor V. I am the Lord of the Sith who led the Republic to victory over the Mandalorians. I am the only being in this universe capable of using the Star Forge, and I will be damned if I let you take my Apprentice away!"
By the end of her speech, Chancellor Palpatine had been reduced to a sniveling wreck. 'Good,' Revan thought, 'Just the way I like my pretentious Sith Lords.'
Anakin and Obi-Wan had made short work of the droids, and were rejoining the two.
"What happened to him?" Anakin asked, gesturing to the sniveling Palpatine.
"Blaster bolt got to close. You know how these politicians are." Revan explained. "We'd better get going if we're going to get back to Corusant."
"Right." The four took off again- and promptly ran on to the Bridge.
"ANAKIN! I thought you said this was the hangar bay!" Revan exclaimed.
Anakin surveyed the small army of droids in front of them, igniting his 'saber. "Huh. The map must have been upside-down." He said with a grin, and winked at Revan as he sprung into action.
