Meanwhile on the Slayer- about 4 1/2 hrs into the journey to the Star Forge.
Tana was sleeping or still unconscious in her cell with the same female soldier and a different soldier guarding her. "She looks pretty." Sighed the female soldier. This time, Tana was allowed to keep Calo Nord's battle armor on.
The other soldier turned to her. "Well, you are pretty but you are pretty much hiding behind armor."
"Ok, fair enough." She said.
Just then, another soldier came around the corner. "This is for the prisoner." He said, in a gruff voice.
"Alright." Said the female soldier who turned off the force field as the soldier put the food close to her.
"Here ya go." He said, as he put the tray next to her. Tana visibly jumped and stiffened. The soldier shared a look with the other two. "Does she know we're here?"
"I don't know. She hasn't made as much as a peep since she's been in there." Replied the female soldier.
Tana moved to the smell of the food and began feeling around for it until she found it. She grabbed it and began eating. She was just eating for a few minutes until she was finished. "Where am I?" She finally asked, once she stopped eating as she hugged her knees to her chest.
The soldiers just shared confused glances. "Do you really not know where you are?" Asked the soldier with the gruff voice.
"I...I. No, I don't." She answered after a few moments of silence.
"Well, can you see us?" Asked the same soldier.
Tana looked around for a few moments. "No, I can't see you." She replied.
The soldier picked up the tray and walked out of the cell as the female soldier put the force field back up.
"Do you think she really can't see?" Asked the second soldier.
"It's hard to say. I mean, her eyes are open but she can't see." Replied the soldier with the gruff voice.
"Could she be blind? I mean, she did get struck across the face with a lightsaber." The female soldier suggested.
"You know what, I think you might be right." Said the soldier with the gruff voice.
As the soldiers continued talking, Tana curled up into a ball of the bed in the cell and fell asleep.
...
Tana was floating around in a dark void, possibly the dark recesses of her mind. She was thinking about Darth Revan's and Tana Bell's past. She began thinking about things, from Revan's past. Revan was born on a planet and given over to the Jedi. She met Malak on Dantooine. She fought in the Mandalorian War and fought and killed Mandalore. She remembered meeting Canderous' eyes behind his helmet and she remembered building a crimson assassin droid while she was the Dark Lord. She remembered Malak following her since they were friends. She is the reason for Malak becoming the Dark Lord.
HK-47.
She killed her parents out of hatred once she became the Dark Lord and she must have done lots of horrible things.
She began thinking about Tana Bell's 'past'. Her parents were killed while traveling leaving her an orphan. She blamed the Republic on everything that happened to her. She became a smuggler and started attacking Republic shipyards and supply depots. She killed Bendak Starkiller for credits, along with Dia, Largo, and Matrik. She killed Carth's son, Dustil, in the caves on Korriban and lied to Carth about it. She gave the rakghoul serum to Davik for credits. She got the Sandrals and Matales to massacre each other. She did lots of evil things since Taris. She only cared for credits and didn't care for the Republic.
Tana saw a small light and heard noise in the distance.
She saw a light somewhere and got closer and saw the center of the Ebon Hawk and everyone was arguing. She assumed that Bastila was opening a window for her through the bond. It seemed to her that Carth wanted her to die, but the others were defending her.
"Well, it's too late for that now. I'm on the verge of evil." Tana muttered to herself.
She heard a voice and realized that it was Bastila speaking to her through the bond. "Tana. If you are alive, please stay on the path of the Light and try not to give in to temptation. Please stay safe."
Tana didn't feel emotion from that message but all she felt was hatred.
...
Sometime later, a Sith officer came by and dropped off Tana's belongings. "Lord Malak, will be here shortly and once we arrive, she will be taken into the temple and tortured." He announced.
"Yes, sir." Said the soldiers.
"So, how is she?" The officer asked.
"She's pretty much fine except that she's..."
"She's what. Spit it out private." The officer ordered.
"She's blind. Whether permanent or temporary, we don't know." Said the female soldier.
The officer looked at the captive while stroking his chin. "Interesting. I'll inform Lord Malak when he gets here."
Sometime later, Darth Malak came down from the bridge and he walked over to the detention area. "My Lord." Said the officer saluting the Dark Lord while the 2 soldiers stood at attention.
"What did she have on her?" The Dark Lord asked.
"Well, 3 lightsabers, 2 heavy blaster pistols, this destroyed stabilizer mask." He said, showing them to Malak. The officer tossed the nearly split in half mask with everything else. "Now, this is going to be interesting." He showed Malak the ancient Sith artifacts that she was wearing. Tulak Hord's mask, Marka Ragnos' gauntlets, Ajunta Pall's blade and the Sith lightsaber from Korriban. "It would seem that she's already on her way to the dark side."
"She's currently wearing battle armor that belonged to Calo Nord and somehow she got her hands on Dark Jedi master robes." Continued the officer.
"Show me the lightsabers." Malak ordered.
The officer ignited the lightsabers in his hand and turned them off. "2 green, and the last one is red. The Sith lightsaber, however, she has been modifying to make it more powerful along with this one." He said as he ignited the red lightsaber again.
"Good. It seems like the artifacts were slowly corrupting her mind and transforming her." Malak observed.
"My Lord. There is one more thing you should know." The officer said.
"What is it?" Malak asked.
"Revan is blind, my Lord. The problem is we don't know if it's temporary or permanent. My guess is permanent since she did receive a lightsaber slash across the face."
"Have some technicians prepare a mask for her. If not then use the power of the Star Forge when we arrive." Malak ordered.
"Yes, my Lord." The officer saluted before walking away.
The force field of the cell was lowered so Malak entered and just stared at his former master.
The woman was just lying on the bed when she felt Malak's piercing gaze. "What do you want Malak?" She asked, sitting up and trying to listen for his voice.
"I can feel the dark power within you. It would have been great if I captured Bastila for her battle meditation but you will have to do." Malak said, and Tana turned her head towards him. "We could use my brutality and your strategy tactics and then we would be unstoppable. However, I'm the master and you will possibly be the apprentice. After all, there needs to be a master and a apprentice."
"You have a point." Tana said, considering.
...
Sometime later, both the Leviathan and the Slayer dropped out of hyperspace when they reached the Star Forge. Malak viewed the Station from the viewport of the bridge.
The Star Forge, an immense factory surrounded by the Sith empire, was above a star, channeling its energy from the star. Not far from the space station was a planet that looked lush with life. The Star Forge was a giant sphere with long fins on 3 sides.
Malak had a shuttle prepared and about an hour later, the shuttle was ready. 2 soldiers were fetch Tana and she had a distrupter collar around her neck and her hands were tied, so she couldn't try anything or escape.
A few minutes later, the shuttle took off from the Slayer's hangar and down towards the planet and to a temple. Malak, 2 dark Jedi, and a disoriented Tana, with assault droids behind her, walked into the temple.
