Chapter 27

Try as she might, Bastila was no match for the new Sith. Her last thought was of all she had lost. Revan pulled her comm from its pouch.

"Canderous? Can you hear me?" The Mandalorian instantly answered.

"Yes Revan?"

"My plan is almost complete. Have you sufficiently been accepted into the fleet to do as you were told?"

"Yes."

"Good. Proceed with our plan." She disconnected. "This is all working out nicely. Exactly as I had hoped, in fact. Except you my dear. You are a pleasant surprise." She looked at the clock. "Of course, there is no reason for you to leave just yet." Sadow smirked. He followed his beloved to her bedchamber.

On Mustafar, the Separatist Leaders cowered in fear.

"Lord Sidious, he promised us peace!" One begged. Sadow was silent. With the hiss of a lightsaber, the Neimoidian was silent. The others quickly followed. Sadow threw back his head and laughed.

Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi surfaced in the rank Utapu waters. He took the breather out of his mouth, and took a fresh breath. Why had Cody turned on him? Why had the clones turned on them? He quickly made his way back to the little ship. Senator Organa quickly picked him up. He and Yoda made their way back to Courasont. They visited the Temple. Obi-wan immediately went to the security holos.

"Should not watch. Won't like what you see." Yoda spoke.

"I must know." Obi-wan's face grew long as he watched his beloved Anakin slay the Jedi. His eyes hardened when he saw Anakin kneel to Revan. "I knew it." This revelation cut through the bonds of Insanity Revan had placed on him. "I… she… Revan's using him to rule the galaxy. No… NOOOOOOOOO!"

Yoda left the sobbing Master. He was headed to the Senate offices.

After Sadow left, Revan entered Palpatine's office. She had just settled in the chair when Yoda entered the room.

"Darth Revan. Should have known who you were. Fools were we." He shook his head. Revan snorted. She drew her saber. Yoda followed. Then green clashed on black, and they began an earnest duel.
