The Fallen Knight

Broken and Fallen

Tonight I'm so alone,

This sorrow takes a home,

Don't leave me it's so cold

-Falling in the Black by Skillet.

2 days later

Revan walked across the forest floor of Kashyykk with his dark robes touching the ground. He wasted little time to get through the Upper Shadowlands and even found an old Jedi who was full of stories. The old Jedi, Jolee Bindo, and Bastila followed Revan closely through the Lower Shadowlands. Lucky for the two of them Revan was in front and any opponent that got in the way was quickly killed without even waving his hand. This amazed Bastila but what was more surprising was that Jolee wasn't shocked by it.

Revan was taking a detour from their two missions. They needed to "find" the Star Map and then kill the madclaw down here to get Zaalbar back. And now they were on the hunt for some Mandalorians who have been killing Wookies cowardly. Revan was absolutely furious that Mandalorians would resort to this. It was sad to see the mighty tribes broken and scattered. Someone needed to reunite them now that Revan realized they were no longer the true threat.

But for now he had to kill some cowards. They had already been ambushed twice and now walked into an open area where swoop bikes were present. Revan looked from side to side before walking to the center bike. They all stood in front of it as a weird sound echoed through the forest and they turned to see Mandalorians.

"You have interrupted our hunt, interloper. The inhabitants could do little against us but you appear to be a threat. Our training here will continue, without your interference." Two more appeared behind the red Mandalorian all wielding swords. Bastila and Jolee went for their weapons but Revan was already a step ahead. He extended his left hand and the one in the middle began to hover in the air clutching his neck. Lightning came from Revan's hand and descended upon the other two Mandalorians. They cried out in pain then succumbed to their wounds and died.

Revan walked up to the final Mandalorian and glared at him. "You go from fighting the Republic and Jedi honorably to killing animals cowardly. You do not deserve death by my hands." Revan released the Mandalorian and he dropped to one knee. "Go now, leave this place and don't come back. I have given you mercy I suggest you take it." Revan turned around and faced his companions.

The Mandalorian pulled a dagger from his boot and leapt at Revan. Revan turned around and thrust his fist forward. Before the dagger could reach him the Mandalorian was hit in the face by Revan's fist. He staggered backward and saw his sword and grabbed it. Revan walked towards him totally unintimidated. The Mandalorian slashed at him but Revan just dodged. Finally the Mandalorian turned and ran back, he whipped back around and threw the sword at Revan. Revan caught the blade in midair and tossed it. The Mandalorian pulled out his blaster and fired at Revan.

Revan put his hand out and the bolts went in all different directions as he walked toward the Mandalorian. The last shot bounced off Revan's hand and connected with the Mandalorians chest making him recoil. Revan walked up to him and picked him up through the Force. Revan opened his hand and the Mandalorian barely managed to gasp out. "Who are you!?"

Revan hesitated. He thought for a moment before smirking. "Mando'ad draar digu." Revan said to him. He smirked at the fear he sensed from the Mandalorian and then clasped his hand crushing his windpipe. Revan turned sharply around and walked back towards his companions. "Leave the bodies, they are bantha foder now."

After a couple minutes of walking Jolee cleared his throat. "So that was a bit excessive."

Revan just rolled his eyes as Bastila spoke as well. "You gave the man mercy then humiliated him before killing him. Why?"

"I gave him mercy and he threw it in my face. So I stripped him of his pride and his life. If anything I was kind to the poor soul." Revan said confidently.

Jolee sighed. "Much you have to learn young Revan."

They all stopped and Bastila and Revan slowly turned to the old man. "What did you call me?"

Jolee just scoffed and folded his arms. "What are you going by another name? I knew it was you the whole time and now I am curious as to why we are here."

Bastila was completely shocked but now wondered this as well. "Yes why are we here now?"

Revan looked between the two. They no longer had to search for the Star Map since he already knew where it was and now everyone with him knew that he was well him. He shrugged and began walking the other way. "I guess we can work on getting Czerka off the planet now. Jolee I assume you know where Freyyr is."

Jolee was taken back by this. "Yes, but you knew it was him the whole time? And you know what Chuundar is up to?"

Revan nodded as they began walking. "Yes, I knew what Czerka was up to the whole time. After all I created it."

Bastila looked over at him. "You created the Czerka Corporation that takes pride in slaving other races and killing millions for their personal goals?"

Revan looked at her oddly. "Um, Dark Lord of the Sith? Kinda need that to stay in power when dealing with that kind of title."

Bastila rolled her eyes and stayed silent. "So Jolee why did you help us and follow me when you knew it was me?" Revan inquired.

Jolee smiled. "Well I figured you don't have any old annoying Jedi with you so I decided to play the part. There is something about you Revan that makes me not see you as the Dark Lord."

Revan shrugged. "Well I am believed to be dead so that kinda helps."

Jolee chuckled a little. "Yeah I heard that. Too bad that the Republic didn't capitalize on your absence and take out your apprentice."

"Yeah but it doesn't matter I will deal with him when the time comes." Revan said. They walked for a while until they reached a Wookie who was standing in the middle of the path. Revan held up his hand signifying them to stop. "I will talk with him."

Revan strode forward silently as he approached the Wookie. Revan had begun to wear his hood up again. It was just out of habit whenever he was expecting a confrontation. Whenever he was around civilization or on the Ebon Hawk he put it down.

"Are you Freyyr?" Revan asked calmly.

The Wookie growled. "And who are you? Some Czerka scum sent here to kill me." He raised his blade up ready for anything. Revan just stood stoic.

"I am not here to harm you I am here on behalf of Zaalbar your son." Revan said. Instantly Freyyr lowered his sword.

"Zaalbar? What news do you have of my son?"

"He is serving me a life debt I received by saving him. He is currently with Chuundar in the village. I am here to bring word that you are needed back. You need to unite the Wookies and take down your son and Czerka."

Freyyr hesitated and looked over to the side. "There is no way anyone would join me. I have been labeled a madclaw and I would surely gain no support. Chuundar has made his lies to significant that no one will betray him."

"Do not give up. While you draw breath the battle is not lost. We may be at a disadvantage but trust me I have been through worse. Is there any way I could get the Wookies to doubt Chuundar's rule?"

Freyyr thought a moment before perking up. "There may be one way. The Bacca's Ceremonial Blade. It is an ancient blade lost long ago to my people. If you were to retrieve it then my brothers would see us as worthy to challenge Chuundar."

Revan nodded. "Very well, where is this blade?"

"It is said to be stuck in the skin of an ancient beast that walks the forest floor. It is only driven out of the caves when it is hungry and smells blood. Be careful, many have perished trying to kill this beast."

Revan turned slightly and looked back at him. "Then it must be time for the beast to perish."


Bastila sat on the ground feeling quite bored. Revan knew what the beast was for he and Malak avoided it the first time they found the Star Map. The beast was immune to the Force and its skin made lightsaber slashes almost impossible to defeat it. So he made Bastila sit far off in the brush while he and Jolee waited for the beast. And she guessed Revan must have been bored as well because…

'So am I getting the silent treatment?'

Bastila rolled her eyes.

'You are the one who put me way over here.'

'Well you didn't exactly put up a fight.'

'Considering the last time I didn't listen to you I was getting my throat squeezed by Darth Revan, I thought best to listen.'

'…'

'…Alright I'm sorry, that came out wrong.'

'…'

'Revan?'

Instead of a voice she was met with a very familiar picture of her dancing at the cantina on Manaan. She furrowed her eyebrows and began to turn bright red.

'Oh haha, why don't we all laugh at Bastila and her drunk dancing?'

'Hey I thought you were really good, for someone who has no previous dancing experience.'

It was a good thing Revan wasn't there because he didn't see the slight smile come across her face.

'Do shut up and focus on the mission.'

'The beast isn't even here yet and I doubt it will be arriving soon.'

'Great now I have to deal with you until then.'

'You know you love it. And besides I could hear your thoughts that night and I know that you wanted me there when you danced.'

Bastila was sure that anyone could see her now because her face was like a tomato.

'Will you stop! It is bad enough I have to remember that night but with you constantly harassing me about it…'

'Hey I am not harassing you I am simply pointing out the facts.'

'The fact is that I want to forget about it. You wouldn't believe how embarrassing it is.'

'Why? You were quite talented and made every man stare at you with lustful eyes. If you were not a Jedi I would have forbidden you from going to clubs.'

'…I… what?'

'I am saying that you are sexy as you are beautiful.'

Bastila felt her heart flutter for a moment but instantly tried to suppress those feelings. She found it harder and harder to hold her feelings back.

'Revan, stop.'

'Why it is the truth. I wonder what you would look like in a slave outfit?' He pondered.

Bastila's eyes widened. 'Don't you dare!'

'Too late'

A very reveling image of her in a slave outfit popped into her mind. She cringed and started hurling mental curses at Revan. How does he come up with this stuff?

'Would you please grow up and stop thinking like such a child. And stop thinking of me in such perverse ways.'

'Hey I never went through my teenage years so let me be. We all can't be lucky and have an eighteen year old friend of the opposite sex when we are thirteen.'

'Hey! I didn't think like this during that time!'

'Bas, your emotions were the easiest thing to see.'

'Okay so maybe I thought about you sometimes.'

'While that is the truth it is not the whole truth. And how I know this is because you are remembering your thoughts from then. Wow Bastila I never knew you had such a creative mind.'

Suddenly her adolescent thoughts long ago forgotten came back into her mind. Her mind conjured up a picture of them under the Dantooine sunset on the plains alone with him on top of her kissing down her body until…

'Stop reading my thoughts!'

'Well stop thinking of embarrassing things.'

'So now it's my fault?'

'You thought it not me.'

Before she had a chance to say something the ground started to shake slightly. She fell down on her stomach and looked down at the hill where Revan was. Then from behind her a giant taloned foot stepped in front of her but scratched her back tearing cloth and skin. She held her breath and held back a cry as the large beast walked down the hill toward Revan and Jolee.


Revan stood up when he didn't hear Bastila's response. He glanced up at the large beast. His eyes fell on the beast's large clawed foot. He saw the shreds of Bastila's robe and some blood on it. He tried to feel her out through the Force but the beast was blocking any way to communicate with her. He clenched his teeth and took a step forward.

"Revan wait-" Jolee didn't finish as Revan threw him back into the forest. Revan was seeing red and he was going to make this beast suffer. He activated his red saber and held it behind him as he outstretched his left hand.

The beast growled and ran at Revan. Out from Revan's left hand a huge storm of lightning descended on the beast. Though this did not hinder the beast, it ran straight at Revan. Revan flipped over the beast and slashed at its armored neck. The beast roared in pain and turned sharply at Revan. Revan managed to land on his feet just in time to be met by a giant clawed hand. Revan flew backward and sled to halt on one knee. He looked up at the beast and swung his lightsaber in his hand. The two stared at each other, both powerful beasts that use the darkside now colliding. They both charged at each other and Revan leapt at it. Revan pulled his blue saber out and forced it into the beast's heart. But the beast got in one hit, scratching Revan across the chest cutting him deep.

The beast fell down defeated. Revan remained standing for a few moments before he looked down at the cut. He held his breath as he reached down and touched a green fluid that was mixing with his blood. He looked at it closely then glanced up at Jolee who had gotten back over to him. He let out his breath. "I've been poisoned." Was what he said before falling to the ground. Jolee rushed to his side as Bastila ran down from her spot.


Revan woke up on the Ebon Hawk or he guessed that's where he was. He looked down at himself and saw that he was bandaged up. But he felt weak and almost paralyzed. He struggled to open his eyes let alone try to get up. He tried to reach out and see who was nearby. He smirked seeing that no one was on the ship. Revan realized that the battle for Kashyykk must have been going on and they needed everyone to reduce Wookie casualties.

Revan then searched for his droid. He felt the faint taint of the darkside that emanated from the armor of his droid. HK-47 was just outside the ship guarding the ramp. Apparently Bastila knew what she was doing while in command. He could feel her now without his blinding anger and the disruption from the beast. He realized what the beast was. It was a Terentetak, a deadly beast produced through Sith alchemy that hunted Jedi. Revan realized he was lucky for taking it down so quickly, but still the beast was no match for him.

At that moment he knew how dire his situation was. The Terentetak was a beast that held one of the deadliest poison's in the galaxy. It attacked the muscles but did nothing to the brain. After slowly tearing away at its hosts immune system it spreads to the lungs causing the host to choke from the lack of oxygen and eventually die. There was no known cure, and with the beast being a Force negligent it was not possible to channel through the Force to kill the poison. Revan had only one option: to fight it.

He slowly closed his eyes and felt his muscles constantly ache and burn. It was only the beginning. But he was already used to taking a considerable amount of pain so he was ready for it. He began to quickly calculate his survivability percentage. He factored in his knowledge of the Force and the fact he was a Mandalorian but it still was not good enough. For the life expectancy when contracting the poison was only a few days.

Revan distracted himself by searching for Bastila through the Force. He found her and the rest of their companions heading back to the ship. He smiled sensing that the conflict on Kashyykk was over. He glanced up at the door as it opened.

"Concerning statement: Master your heart rate is declining and your stress level is elevating. It would seem you have been in contact with some poison. Query: May I take a sample of your blood to analyze it?"

Revan smiled at HK-47. His creation was very handy sometimes. "Sure here," Revan extended his arm towards the droid. HK walked over and his finger changed into a needle. He gently pushed it into his Master's vein and pulled out a sample of blood. The needle disappeared and his eyes glowed.

"Complication: Master it seems you have come into contact with a poison that is most deadly. I would advise that you begin repairs immediately."

Revan rolled his eyes and set his arm across his chest again. "Do me a favor and show your results and data on this poison to the old Jedi named Jolee when he arrives. After that go on standby mode until we reach Tatooine."

"Acknowledgement: As you wish Master."

HK turned and left the room. Revan could hear the faint echoing of the ramp coming back up signifying that their journey here was over. Revan knew that Tatooine was their next destination because shortly before Bastila got on the ship she was approached by someone she once knew who had news of her family…

He didn't glance at the door as it opened once more. He knew who it was. Bastila walked in and closed the door behind her. Revan's eyes drifted to her.

"How are you feeling?" She asked softly.

"I have been through worse. But what I am about to go through will be quite painful." He noticed the confused look in her eyes. "The beast is of Sith magic and harnesses a deadly poison that kills almost anyone who comes into contact with it. I… am afraid I will not be able to assist you on Tatooine, I am sorry."

Bastila's look of sadness turned to one of shock. "How did you…?"

"Bastila please, we share a bond." He said.

"Okay we will talk about that later. First how are you going to beat this?"

Revan caught the concern in her voice and sighed. "It is up to my willpower to fight it back. But I am afraid that without any sort of medicine I will not make it."

Bastila's eyes widened. "Then we need to take you to a facility. Revan I know you want to keep your presence hidden but that won't do any good if you are dead."

Revan held a hand up as best he could. "There is no medical facility that could cure me. There is a medicine that can be created from my blood to insure that the toxin does not suffocate me but besides that I have to fight it back myself."

"Suffocate you?"

"Yes, you see the poison attacks the muscles then the lungs making the victim unable to breathe. If I could get medicine to fight back the toxin in my lungs I will make it. But I cannot assist you until I am well."

Bastila walked over and put a hand on Revan's forehead. He closed his eyes as the soothing touch of her hand made him relax. Bastila saw this and kept her hand on him. "You are burning up. Can I heal you through the Force?"

Revan smiled a little seeing her determination. "No, the beast was made to resist the Force. As a result its poison is the same way."

Bastila sighed and nodded. She knelt down next to his bed and looked him over. "I feel so helpless." She admitted.

Revan opened his eyes and looked into her eyes. "And I will to when you face your many trails on Tatooine."

"How do you know what I will face?"

"I have learned many things through the Force. One technique that can only be gained through patience and power is the gift of sight. Once in a while I can see the fates of people. It is rare and often cryptic, like the Jedi themselves, but it does come in handy. I have seen what you will face on Tatooine and it will make you stronger or break you. But I will be with you through it all."

Bastila nodded but Revan felt her fear through the Force. "You don't have to be afraid I know you can do this."

Bastila closed her eyes. "It is not me I fear for." Revan gently took her hand off his forehead and turned on his side.

"You should probably go change seeing how you ruined yet another one of your outfits." Bastila frowned remembering the cut on her back from the beast's foot. She was lucky it didn't have poison on its foot.

"Revan stop, it is okay to be afraid." She told him.

Revan laughed but kept his back to her. "Who says I am afraid?"

Bastila shook her head and stood up. "If you need anything…"

"Yeah, yeah I will call for you like a helpless child. Leave me to my misery." Bastila didn't want to go and Revan heard the hesitation as she didn't leave. Revan didn't want her to go but he felt so weak in front of her and didn't want her to see him like this. Reluctantly she left him. Revan turned over and lay on his back. He felt alone and broken. Now facing death in way he never wanted to experience it. Slowly.


1 day later,

It was still almost two days to Tatooine and the ship was in a state of depression. Overnight Revan had succumbed to the poison and was in constant pain not to mention the constant coughing he endured from the lack of oxygen. His fingernails and cheeks turned blue as the constant hacking could be heard throughout the ship. He forbid anyone to see him especially Bastila. With the exception of HK and Jolee no one saw the great Jedi slowly dying.

Bastila gave up trying to meditate and had started to cry at one point over the whole situation. If Jolee couldn't come up with a way to stop the toxin from attacking his lungs then he was not going to make it. Bastila found herself in the medical room with him going over a lot of different serums and information on how to cure him. But she just felt as if she were getting in the way.

She sat in the medical room waiting for Jolee to come back from telling Revan the results. He was able to duplicate the toxin and found a way to stop the symptoms but it would take several days to make it. He went to see if Revan had a few days. Bastila waited very impatiently.

Finally Jolee appeared in the room. Bastila looked over at him and saw that he looked conflicted. She felt her heart drop knowing that something was wrong. "He wants to see you now." Jolee said.

Bastila didn't know if that was good or bad. "Is he… going to make it? Until the serum is complete?"

Jolee cracked a small smile. "He is a stubborn one. If anyone can outlast this it will be him but he will not be ready for any combat until he is completely well."

"How long will that take?"

Jolee sighed and went back over to the medical equipment. "Even he doesn't know. But maybe you should ask him yourself." Bastila nodded and walked out of the room.

She stopped in front of the door to the back dormitory or Revan's personal room now that he had taken it over. Bastila didn't bother knocking or using the controls, she just waved her hand and the door opened. She looked into the dimly lit room and saw Revan's hand hanging down from his bunk. She did not hesitate to quickly get over to him and kneel next to the bed.

She had to keep from gasping at his appearance. He looked terribly ill and pale. His eyes were bloodshot and his lips were dried and cracked. His cheeks were blue from the lack of oxygen and he was dripping in sweat. He tried to suppress yet another cough as she knelt next to him. "Bastila…*cough, cough* I didn't want… you to see me like this." He coughed harder as his body begged for oxygen.

Bastila felt her eyes water realizing the reason he didn't want her to see him was because he thought he looked weak. She placed a hand on his cheek and caressed it gently. "No Revan you never look weak to me. Not even now, according to Jolee no one could have survived this long. Revan you are going to make it aren't you?"

Revan coughed a little more and inhaled making a deep wheezing noise. "I am trying Bas. Believe me I will fight this until my dying breath if it is necessary. But if Jolee can come up with something in a few days I will be alive to receive it."

Bastila smiled feeling a sense of hope again. "Revan I could not sleep or meditate knowing that you are in so much pain and I am unable to help."

Despite his sickness Revan still managed to laugh which turned into coughing. "Bastila you should not fear for my life. If it is my time to die then so be it but I promise you right now that this sickness will have to take me fighting. You should be focusing on your next task. You have many trails approaching you and you need to be ready. While I cannot be there in person I will assist you as much as I can." Revan smiled confidently at the young Padawan.

Bastila returned the smile and began to rub his cheek. "I never thought I would say this but I missed you."

"And I missed you, and still miss you." Revan said. He tried to raise his hand up to her face but the pain was too much for him and it fell back to the side. Revan closed his eyes in defeat. Bastila saw this and took his hand putting it up to her face. Revan opened his eyes again and looked at her hopefully. His hand felt her soft skin and he wanted to die having her be the last thing he feels.

"Bastila leaned down and kissed him gently on the cheek before standing up. "I suppose I should go back and help Jolee with your medicine." She said as a tear made its way down her cheek.

Revan nodded slightly. "As you wish." He closed his eyes and kept the feel of her soft touch on his mind.

Bastila smiled slightly. After hearing from his own mouth that he would make it she was satisfied. But that did not lift the sorrow she felt for being totally helpless in the situation. All she could do is wait and see if Revan could truly make it through this.


Fin.

A/N: So a little let down from my previous chapters I know. But this one needed to be shortened unless you wanted to read all the boring dialog from Kotor we have all heard or the same action scenes. And on the Terentetak I believe that in a real life situation, as I described, its toxin would be this lethal and if you don't agree with me, too bad. Please let me know what you think I appreciate all opinions.
