Chapter 1

The Dark lord of the Sith wakes up in a haze aboard a strange space station surrounded by people in strange, white armor. Each one has their blaster rifle pointed at the man that just appeared out of thin air, commanding him to disarm himself once his lightsaber comes into view. Revan rubs his head over his helmet, then he grabs his hood and pulls it over his head. The stormtroopers once again command him to disarm himself.

"Who are you to command me," Revan warns. "I am Darth Revan, Dark Lord of the Sith."

"Nice try," One of the Stormtroopers says. "Darth Vader is the Dark Lord of the Sith."

"I don't care who claims their the Dark Lord, I am the true Sith Lord!"

"Take him down!"

Revan's lightsaber jumps off of his belt and into his gloved hand. The red blade ignites in time to deflect the first couple shots back at their shooters. The Stormtroopers drop to the ground with a smoking scorch mark on their chest and a couple others open fire. Revan quickly drops into the Shien stance, deflecting a few more blaster bolts out of the way.

Revan grins under his mask. "My turn."

He holds his hand out to his left and bolts of blue-white lightning come out of his fingers, hitting the stunned Stormtroopers and launching them back against one of the walls and killing them instantly. He deflects another volley of blaster bolts, then he tosses his lightsaber at another Stormtrooper and it impales him through the chest. Revan charges forward and grabs his lightsaber and pulls it out of the trooper's chest, then kicks him to the ground. He throws his arm forward and a blast of the Force knocks more troopers back against the wall, but it only knocks them out.

"Enough!" A deep voice calls out from behind him.

Darth Revan turns around to see a man in black armor with a black mask and helmet standing at the doorway with his red lightsaber activated. Darth Vader watches the man that effortlessly killed his Stormtroopers with curiosity. The Stormtroopers stand down at their Dark Lord's command. Revan turns fully to face the man, feeling the Dark Side pouring off of him in waves.

"You must be Darth Vader." Revan states calmly.

"I am, and who are you?"

"I am Darth Revan, Dark Lord of the Sith."

"You must be joking," Vader begins to take slow, deliberate steps into the room and towards the man who somehow got into this space station without raising a single alarm. "Only I a my Master are Dark Lords of the Sith. You are-"

In the blink of an eye, Revan has closed the gap between them and has brought his lightsaber down in a powerful arc. Vader blocks him at the last possible second, but is knocked back a couple inches by the force of the blow. With a blast of the Force, Vader knocks Revan back a couple feet. Revan switches to Form 2.

"Impressive," Vader says. "Most impressive. I can sense the Dark Side in you. My master would be very interested in the power you have. "

Revan relaxes his stance a little and carefully listens to Vader's words. He senses that there's some truth in what he says. "Who is your master?"

"The Emperor."

"Very well," Revan switches off his lightsaber. "Take me to your master."

Ithost groans as he comes to, slowly opening his eyes and trying to figure out where he is. He gets to his feet and looks around and puts his hand over his face. His vision slowly returns to normal and he looks around again. Not seeing his master, he reaches out with the Force and probes as far as he can.

To his shock, he quickly figures out that there's something wrong with the Force; it's almost like it's sick or dying. He can't sense his master either, which doesn't really surprise him. He was just an assassin, so he knows his master doesn't need him. Ducking just in time to avoid a blaster bolt, he quickly grabs his lightsaber and ignites it.

A soldier wearing gray pants and shirt and a black vest comes up to him with his rifle raised. "Stay right there," the Rebel trooper warns. "Stay there or I'll shoot."

Wanting to keep a low profile until he finds his master, Ithost relaxes his stance, but keeps his saber at his side. He grabs his hood with his free hand and pulls it down over his head a little more. The trooper carefully moves closer to the man. Once he sees that the lightsaber color isn't red, he assumes that Ithost isn't a Sith or aligned with the Empire.

"I apologize, Master Jedi, I assumed you were with the Empire."

Ithost's eye twitches. He hasn't been called a Jedi since the Mandalorian Wars and he doesn't like being called that. He thinks that the Jedi have strength, but they waste it on being pacifists and defending the weak. That's one of the reasons why, after Malachor V, he left the Jedi. The other is the screams of the Jedi and Mandalorians he could hear through the Force as soon as the Mass Shadow Generator was switched on.

For a second, he hears residual screams and he shakes his head, forcing them out. He switches off his lightsaber and places it back onto his belt. He folds his arms over his chest and watches the trooper from under the shadow on his hood. He takes a step closer to the man.

"Where am I?" He finally asks.

"Your on Brigia. We have a base here, but we're getting ready to leave."

"Who's 'we' and why are you getting ready to leave?"

"We're the Alliance to Restore the Republic, but we just call ourselves the Rebel Alliance."

Rebel Alliance? Restore the Republic? What the hell happened since him and Revan were inside that academy? Speaking of which, where the hell was Revan?

"Take me to the one in charge."

Vader stands in the elevator with his hands folded over his chest and Revan, he simply leans against the back wall. Both men stare at the closed door in front of them in silence. Vader looks down at Revan for a second, then back at the door. It opens a couple seconds later to show the large observation platform of the Death Star.

Revan steps out after Vader and both men move up the black steps to the chair where Darth Sidious is sitting. The Sith Lord turns around and watches both men with a blank expression on his face. As soon as Vader bends a knee in front of his master, Palpatine smiles a little. He stands up.

"Ah, Lord Vader. I assume this man is the one that the soldiers have been talking about?"

"Yes, my master. He somehow-"

"I know all about what he did, Lord Vader. I will talk to him alone. You must go capture a Rebel cruiser that we've spotted over Tatooine. We've intercepted a transmission. You need to find out what it is and where it was going."

Darth Vader bows again. "As you wish, master."

Once Vader leaves, Palpatine looks at the ancient Sith Lord standing in front of him. He takes a step towards him, then stops when he feels how strongly the Dark Side if flowing off of this man. He asks if Revan has any ties to the Rebels or their terrorist activities. Revan simply says that he's never heard of any Rebels and really doesn't care about what their fighting for. This makes Palpatine grin.

"Then I'm sure you will fit right in, Mr..."

"Revan. Darth Revan."

Palpatine grins once again.
