Chapter 8: Kidnapped.
Eight hours later, the Hawk landed in Dreshdae settlement, the other ships also landed.
"Okay, where here." Atton said. "Where's Revan?" He asked.
"Sleeping." Meetra answered.
"Wow, it was about time." He answered.
"I know, I should tell Bastila to wake him up." Meetra said.
Meetra talked with Bastila and tell her that they needed to wake up Revan. She agreed and went to their room.
"Revan." She whispered. "Revan wake up." She whispered again shaking him a little.
"What?" He answered in a sleepy voice. He opened his eyes and saw her sitting on the bed.
"Hi sleepyhead, we have landed in Dreshdae. C'mon, get up." She said.
Revan sat at the edge of the bed, he stretched and after that he stood up. "At what time we landed?" He asked.
"About ten minutes ago." She answered.
"Okay, let's get down to business." He said. He changed his clothes and later he met with the groups. "Okay Mical, what you have found?"
"I have detected a signal coming from the abandoned Academy here in Korriban, I cannot tell you more, that's all I know." Mical answered.
"Okay, we will be in the same groups, only this time Meetra is going to lead the third group; Jolee you will go with Bastila, Mical you're coming with me. Atton Mission, I need you to stay in the ship. You're our plan B." Revan said.
"What do you wants us to do Rev?" Mission asked.
"Our communicators are in sync with the ship, you will be monitoring the signals, if the signal disappears or you don't have an answer from us, take the droids and seek for us." Revan answered.
Mission and Atton nodded. "Okay, let's go to the Academy." Revan said.
The groups started to walk from Dreshdae to the Academy, before Meetra could go, Atton stopped her.
"What is it Atton?" She asked.
"Just, be careful, okay?" He said.
"I will." She answered, before she left; she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
The groups arrived and stopped in front of the door of the Academy. "Mical, what do you have?" Revan asked.
"The only thing I know is that the holocron is in this area, we should look in the whole Academy." Mical said.
"Okay, Bas, you, Jolee and the group are going to search in the Valley of the Dark Lords. Meetra, you and your group are going to search in the Academy. My group is going to search in the catacombs below the Academy. Let's move." Revan said.
"Revan." Bastila said. He stopped and turned around. She walked up to him and kissed him on the lips. She placed one hand on his chest and the other on the back of his head deepening the kiss. They broke apart, while their foreheads were resting against each other, "Be careful." She whispered.
"I will, be careful you too, okay?." He answered and kissed her again.
The groups entered in the Academy, they held flashlights. The Academy was abandoned since the death of Uthar Wynn at the hands of Revan, all the students that were there escaped to other academies or to other planets.
As soon as the groups arrived at the main hall of the academy, they split out. Revan's group went down to the catacombs, Meetra's group stayed in the Academy to search and Bastila's group went to the Valley.
"The signal is stronger at this point Revan." Mical said checking his datapad.
"Are you sure?" Revan asked.
"Positive." Mical answered.
"Okay, let's proceed with caution." Revan said taking his doubled-blade lightsaber.
The group walked in silence, with lightsabers in their hands, they were ready for anything. Suddenly, when the group arrived at a room, Sith assassins appeared. The Jedis ignited their lightsabers, but the Sith assassins stayed there looking at them.
"What are they waiting for?" Mical asked whispering.
"I don't know." Revan answered.
"Exile." One of the Jedis said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"There's a signal coming from one of the training rooms." The Jedi said.
"Where?" She asked.
"South of the main hall." He answered.
"Okay, let's check it out." Meetra said to the group.
The group walked to the training room, but when they entered, they didn't find anything.
"Are you sure this is the location?" Meetra asked.
"Yes, I'm sure Exile." The Jedi said.
Suddenly, Sith assassins appeared, Meetra and the others ignited their lightsabers but the Sith stayed there. The only thing that illuminated the room was the blue and green colors from the lightsabers.
"Have you found anything?" Bastila asked.
"Nope, nothing yet" Jolee said.
"You didn't found anything when you were here?" She asked.
"No, the kid was more focus in locating the Star Map, and I don't believe he remembered anything about the holocrons by that time." He answered.
"I have a strange feeling, like a disturbance in the Force." She said looking around.
"Yeah, I feel it too." He said.
Then, just like the other groups, Sith assassins appeared, they were using their stealth mode. But this time the Sith ignited their lightsabers, and the Jedis also ignited their lightsabers. The Sith charged at the Jedis, meanwhile, the other Sith assassins threw grenades at the groups. But these grenades didn't exploded, instead, they freed a gas and all the groups started to fall. Revan tried everything to keep himself standing, but one of the Sith assassins approached from behind and injected something to Revan, he started to feel dizzy and fell on the ground.
The blades of the lightsabers clashed against other, the Jedis that were in the Valley of the Dark Lords were fighting against the Dark Jedis. Jolee was fighting with two Dark Jedis, and Bastila was fighting with other two. She blocked the attack of one and with the Force, she pushed the other, the Dark Jedi fell a few meters away. She stabbed the Dark Jedi in the chest, and fell on the ground.
Meanwhile, in the Hawk, Mission and Atton were monitoring the signals, when two of the three signals disappeared from the screen, Mission saw this, and became worried.
"Atton." Mission said.
"What?" Atton asked.
"Take a look at this." Mission said.
Atton approached to the screen where the signals were displayed, he noticed that only one signal was active.
"Wait, there were three signals, what the hell happened?" He said worried.
"I don't know, the only signal that is still active, is from the group of the Valley of the Dark Lords." She answered.
Atton turned on the communicator and called Meetra.
"Meetra, here's the Hawk." He said but he received no answer. "Meetra, do you copy?" He said again, but again, he had no answer.
"We should go to check." He said.
Mission nodded and the two took their blaster pistols, Atton took the lightsaber that he had constructed in the time the ship was on route to Korriban. When they descended, Mission took T3 with her and Atton took HK with him. When they arrived at the Academy, they split out.
In the Valley of the Dark Lords, the fighting was continuing, until one of the Dark Jedis received a call.
"We have what we came for, let's go." The voice through the communicator said.
"You heard him, let's go." The Dark Jedi said to the remaining ones.
"Kryat, what about the Miraluka?" One of the Dark Jedis asked.
"Left her, her master said that she was plan B, so we are going to use plan B." Kryat said, he was the apprentice of Sion.
"What will we tell her Master if he doesn't see her with us?" The Dark Jedi asked.
"We will tell him, that she was captured by the Jedis." Kryat said. "Let's go, before he awakes." He said looking at the unconscious Revan who was on the back of one of the Sith assassins.
The Sith exited from the catacombs and met with the other group that was in the hallway, when they exited the Academy, they met with the groups that went to the Valley. The three groups returned to their ships and took off.
Atton was running through the hallways of the Academy looking for Meetra and her group, behind him HK was scanning the area with his thermal vision.
"Statement: I have detected a group of organic meatbags south of here, meatbag." HK said.
"Take me there HK." Atton said worried.
"Answer: As you wish meatbag." HK said.
HK guided Atton to one of the training rooms, he turned on a flashlight and illuminated the room, there he found Meetra lying unconscious.
Meetra started to regain consciousness, she saw everything blurred. But she managed to see an image of a man running towards her. "Meetra!" Atton yelled.
"Atton?" She asked confused.
"Meetra." He said taking her in his arms. "Babe, you're fine."
"Atton, what are you doing here?" She asked still confused.
"Mission and I were monitoring the signals when two of them disappeared, so we decided to check and I found you here, unconscious." Atton said helping her to get up.
"Where's Mission?" She asked.
"She went with T3 to make sure the group of the Valley of the Dark Lords is fine." He said.
The other Jedis started to regain consciousness, and asked what happened. Meetra said that she didn't know what had happened. Meetra decided to contact Revan.
"Revan, it's Meetra, do you copy?" She said through the communicator.
But she received no answer. She called again and received no answer.
"Something is wrong, we must check where Revan and his group are." Meetra said. Atton nodded, the group followed Meetra to the catacombs, there they decided to ignite their lightsabers, when they reached at the room where Revan's group was, they saw the others hands tied.
"Mical!" Meetra said.
"Meetra." Mical said, he was the only one awake.
"Make sure the others are fine." She said to the Jedis. They nodded and went with their fellow Jedis to help them.
"Mical, what the hell happened?" Atton asked.
"We don't know, one moment we were walking and the other, Dark Jedis and Sith assassins appeared, they threw us grenades, they freed a gas that knocked us down, after that everything went dark." Mical answered.
Meanwhile, in the Valley of the Dark Lords...
"Guys!" Mission said.
"Mission? What are you doing here?" Bastila asked.
"We lost Revan's and Meetra's signals, so Atton and I decided to check it out, he went to look for Meetra, and I decided to come here." Mission said.
"Mission, its Meetra do you copy?" Meetra's voice said through the communicator.
"I'm here Meetra, good to know you're fine." Mission answered.
"It's Bastila with you?" Meetra asked.
"I'm here Meetra, what is it?" Bastila asked.
"We can't find Revan, the only thing we found is his double-lightsaber." Meetra said.
"That's odd, he will never left his lightsaber behind." Bastila answered, suddenly she realized that Revan's presence wasn't around.
"Are you alright kid?" Jolee asked.
"No, I feel Revan's presence weak, like he is unconscious." Bastila answered worried.
T3 started to beep something, but the others couldn´t understand.
"What is it T3?" Mission asked.
"Statement: I think that the T3 unit is trying to say that he has detected two ships left the Dreshdae settlement few minutes ago, and it seems in one of the ships was the master unconscious." HK said through the communicator.
"Revan was kidnapped?" Jolee asked.
"Why the Sith would kidnap Revan?" Mission asked.
"Because of the holocrons." Bastila said.
"What?" Mission asked.
"Bastila is right, the Sith kidnapped Revan, because he's the only one who knows where are the holocrons." Meetra said through the communicator.
"But the kid told us that he doesn't remember where he hid the holocrons. Unless…" Jolee said but he stood thinking.
"Unless what Jolee?" Mission asked.
"Unless they use specific methods to extract him the information they need." Jolee answered.
"Jolee is right." Mical said.
"What did you find?" Bastila asked.
"I have reanalyzed the signals, it seems that the signals we detected don't transmit in the frequency that a holocron would transmit, and these signals were a decoy." Mical answered.
"We were set up!" Jolee exclaimed.
"Yes, it seems that way, Meetra, your and Revan's group return to the Academy, we will meet in the main hall." Bastila said.
The group left the catacombs and returned to the Academy, the other group returned to the Academy, the three groups met again in one of the hallways, when they were walking to the exit; they felt another disturbance in the Force.
The Jedis ignited their lightsaber, there in the dark, the sound of another ignited saber filled the room, a crimson blade was seen, a woman wearing a veil over her face, also she was wearing a black robe.
"Who are you?" Bastila asked, she was getting impatient, but she received no answer.
The woman charged at the group and started to attack them, fortunately, there were many Jedis, so the woman couldn't stand in the middle, she was surrounded, so she gave up.
"Please, you have defeated me, I cannot return with my master, he will know that I was defeated, and he will kill me, please I beg you Jedi, kill me." The woman said and she faint.
"We must take her to the medical bay, maybe she know something about Revan." Meetra said.
Bastila nodded and the groups returned to the hangars, they took the woman aboard the Hawk and left her in the med bay.
Revan woke up, he felt dizzy and everything he saw was fuzzy, he saw two images in black robes, he couldn't recognize the images and went unconscious again.
