There she sat, in the middle of the room breathing, planning, thinking… she then sensed the fool's presence. It was irritating and un- ignorable.
Kreia then arose from meditation and became annoyed with Atton's presence. "Why are you here?"
"Because I told her, told her everything." Atton proudly said.
"Ah...and now you are free?" she faced him, she noticed he was at a somewhat relaxed state but tense in her presence.
"Yeah...so no more threats, no more of your requests. You and me, we're done." Atton replied.
She raised an eyebrow and huffed. "Did you ever think I truly held you? You are more of a fool than I thought." She sensed his aura, it was making it able for her to wield it to her use. "What truly held you was you...and let me show you why."
Atton then felt darkness within him, he then grasped his heart. Kreia felt the tangible webs of emotions that were inside of Atton.
"Shall I show you?" she strongly asked, "I once held the Galaxy by the throat. I know what lies buried within you. That you hide with your desperate thoughts, your guilt, your lusts. I can unlock that part of you anytime I wish. That part of you that hungered to kill Jedi that took pleasure from it?" Kreia stated. She grasped his very life source, sensing another part of him, a much darker part that seemed to be hidden inside. Like a beast locked in its cage.
The feeling then went away from Atton. He then looked at Kreia with disgust.
Kreia then ignored his look, "Or perhaps you will continue to listen to my counsel and I shall ignore your pathetic attempts at freedom. Now leave me Murderer. I have nothing further to say to one such as you."
Kreia then sat down once again, she consoled with the force hating herself for doing so, but it was what she needed to do… she looked into the future and saw Alison in the ancient temples that are within the caves on Korriban. Alison looked confused, yet somehow knew what was ahead. She then walked to a door that seemed very odd. It opened in front of her and a woman in black stood before her, she had a light saber hilt ready at hand. She then turned around and it was Kreia.
"You are commended for making it this far." Kreia said. "You have revisited the dark moments of your past and now you must face the future."
"Wait Kreia what are you doing here? Was there like a short cut you didn't tell me about?" Alison then thought for a moment. "Wait I don't understand…"
"Alison your confusion is natural. The others and I will help you understand." She responded.
"It's just you and me here Kreia." Alison then looked around but saw no one but Kreia in an empty ruin.
Alison then heard footsteps behind her and saw Atton walk in front of her. Somewhat shielding her from Kreia.
"Get away from her Alison! She's a dark Jedi!" Atton said as he took a stance.
"What the hell!? Atton what's going on here is this all another vision?"
"Atton I have heard enough of your snide contempt!" Kreia then ignited her light saber as well as Atton.
"Knock it off! We need to work together, despite our differences we can accomplish so much." Alison said.
Shortly Bao Dur appeared…
"What's the commotion here?" Bao Dur asked.
Kreia then snapped back at Bao Dur. "Stay out of this, it a personal dispute between Atton and myself."
"You are threatening Atton with a light saber and I'm supposed to just stay out of it? No!" Bao Dur then took a stance.
"Don't I have a say in this?" Alison yelled.
"You dare challenge me?" Kreia said to Atton, Bao Dur and the T3 unit.
"Think again Kreia! You're dark influence will end." Atton said as he drew his lightsaber again along with the others preparing for a battle.
"Alison, your friends are all against me, will you stand for this?" Kreia asked her as she too was preparing for battle.
"I understand now, this isn't really happening. You are all just visions like the rest of this tomb. So it doesn't really matter what I do." Alison put away her lightsaber.
Kreia felt anger within herself. Alison wasn't learning the lesson she needed to know. One that she would hopefully teach others so it may spread to the other parts of the galaxy. Kreia then spoke to Alison…
"So you will do nothing?! Apathy is death. Worse than death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects." Kreia along with the others looked at Alison.
"Apathy is death." Atton stated.
"Apathy is death…" Bao Dur whispered.
"Beep vroo waaom boop." T3 whizzed.
"Apathy is Death." Brianna chimed in.
"Apathy is death…." Mical whispered eerie.
"Apathy…Is Death…" Visas said.
"Apathy is death!" Mandalore stated.
"Apathy is death" Mira said.
"Apathy is deaaaaaaath…" HK-47 said very ghostlike.
"Apathy is death!" Kreia said angrily.
Alison then awoke from her nightmare…
"Oh god my head…" Alison looked around; she was still on the ship. She sighed, "I need to go home. I'm too tired, I can't do it, I can't help the republic… I can't help the galaxy."
Alison then decided to get up and go for guidance. She put on a simple robe and walked towards Kreia's chambers. Atton sat at a table and smiled at Alison, he invited her for a game. Alison shook her head and went on. Brianna stood by Atton.
Atton then sighed, "What's with her?"
Brianna looked at Alison; she noticed how depressed she seemed to be falling in. "Atton, sometimes you just need to leave a girl to her thoughts."
Atton rolled his eyes, "you know I don't believe in that whole all women are similar to each other…"
Brianna raised her eyebrow "And why do you say that?"
Atton looked over at Mical, "Well for dam sure us guys are not alike…"
Alison then walked past the room on her way to Kreia; Brianna noticed Mical and Atton gaze as she passed. Brianna smiled and lightly giggled.
Atton then snapped out of the state and gave Brianna a look. "What's so funny?"
Brianna let out her breath, "It's just that you are more than incorrect about your statement Atton. It seems that you and Mical are alike more than you think."
Atton looked at Mical; Mical then looked at him back. Mical then smiled and waved at Atton. Atton just huffed and left to the cockpit. Meanwhile Alison stood outside Kreia's room.
"Yes?" Kreia arose, "Have you come with questions?"
Alison walked in. "Kreia I don't think I can gather the counsel anymore."
Kreia looked at Alison. "And why is that dear exile?"
"It's because I'm not able to do anything so important. This is all a mistake." Alison sat on the floor against the wall. "I might as well give up."
Kreia stood before her, "And what would that accomplish? Do you really think that it is only you who will be the difference in this galaxy? That nothing would exist if you weren't a part of it? You act like him… your pathetic excuses even sound similar to his…"
Alison looked up at Kreia, "Kreia? There's something I want to ask you…"
Kreia then calmed down, "Ask, and I shall answer"
"I have some questions about Revan." Alison fiddled with her hair.
"Ah… and what did you wish to know about Revan?" Kreia crossed her arms like an upset mother, yet still relaxed.
"Who is he, really? I mean, where did the guy even come from?" Alison asked as she tied her hair and stopped fiddling it.
"Revan had a mother and father, ancestors like all Jedi do. And when he awakened to his potential I was there to see it." Kreia took a deep breath, "But where he was born, where he came from, I do not know. Like I do not know where he walks now."
Alison became very intrigued. "You actually knew Revan?"
Kreia thought about her past. "Yes…"
Alison thought as well, she was curious…"Well what caused him to fall? Why did he turn from the republic?"
"Fall? Ah…already you presume too much." Kreia uncrossed her arms, "You were there at Malachor. Revan's choices were always his own. It was not teaching, or circumstance, or example. It was him…"
"But what was it that had him turn to the dark side?" Alison looked at her saber, "A Sith…"
"Is that what he was?" Kreia raised her eyebrows, "Or was he always true to himself, no matter what personality he wore."
Alison couldn't find the words to say…
"And there is something that the Counsel may never understand." Kreia lowered her hood. "That perhaps Revan never fell…The difference between a fall and a sacrifice is sometimes difficult, but I feel Revan understood the difference, more than anyone knew." Kreia's eyes seemed to darken, "The galaxy would have fallen if Revan had not gone to war. Perhaps he became the dark lord out of necessity, to prevent a greater evil."
Alison struggled, "But-"
Kreia resumed, "I do not believe the Counsel changed Revan, as they claimed. They merely stripped away the surface, and allowed the true self to emerge again… someone who was willing to wage war to save others" Kreia then calmly breathed, "But that is my belief, since I knew Revan from long ago… as a master knows their apprentice."
Alison's eyes widened, "Ok…Ok not only did you actually know him, but you were his Teacher? You trained Revan? You actually were his Master?"
Kreia looked at Alison, she thought of the time before Malachor, "He came to me, yes. Both before and after, before Revan knew himself. And after, in the times when Revan was coming into his own and learning he was more than he had been told."
"This is crazy" Alison muttered.
Kreia sighed, "But yes, at one time Revan was my Padawan. In times past long ago… even after he trained with others he came back to me. When he realized there was no more to learn from the Jedi. Except… how one could leave them forever."
"So Revan was a student to most…" Alison was slightly confused.
"No Alison" Kreia interrupted, "Revan was power. It was like staring into the force. Even then you could see the Jedi he would slay etched on his soul."
"You said I was like him in a way… tell me Kreia" Alison said calmly, "What do you see when you look at me?"
"You are different though…" Kreia answered.
Alison thought for a short moment. "So what is it?"
Kriea stared at Alison; her eyes darkened and became red in the center. Her voice became somewhat eerie. "When I look at you, it is like staring at the death of the Force…"
Alison then left her chambers, her heart seemed to darken and crush… she found it hard to believe, she had visions of the future, a whole planet being destroyed, a sudden cries for help all at once then suddenly silenced. Kriea sensed her vision and it didn't affect her the same way. Alison went to her room and closed the door, she leaned against it… she slid down and sat looking at the room, her things from home, her saber, and a small reflection that streamed off the wall. Alison then began to cry…
"The hell?" Atton felt a twist within him. He then walked to Alison's room; he remained silent as he heard her small sobs. He held his hand in an action to knock, but he then thought about what Brianna said. "Leave her alone Rand." He muttered to himself. As much as it hurt him to hear her crying, he went back to the cockpit.
