A/N: So anyone who has read my profile page has known that I have been going through a lot of BS in the past couple weeks. The last chapter took me a lot of different days to complete but I am glad you all liked it and that it turned out so well. Anyway I am back and in full swing with this story I love the more I write it so please keep up with the reviews it helps out and feel free to ask me any questions you have I will greatly answer any and all. If you haven't noticed I consider Force push to be like in Force Unleashed where it is a wave ball type thing that you need to power up if you want it stronger. That's what I mean by a wave though the Force. Ah we are back to it. Now we see Revan once more and this time he is finally in control of everything circling around him. You will see. Please review.
The Fallen Knight
Will We Ever Meet Again?
I need a hero, to save me now
I need a hero to save me, just in time
-Hero, by Skillet
Darkness. That was all Revan saw for five days. While the power up from the Sith only took a few minutes this one took days. It was going from one power cell to another not to mention letting the darkside power out as well. He sat, still pinned by the metal, in the hanger of the destroyed Leviathan. The old Jedi had disappeared and coached Revan in his mind how to use the power. Revan had found out that he already had enough power to best almost any opponent but this unlimited power would come in handy.
Around him red and blue auras spun together in perfect harmony. He was a vessel of the Force itself, perfect balance. The Force was keeping him in stasis while all this power manifested in him. He no longer had to fight for control or power it all flowed in him. Years of controlling the beast within, years of fighting back the irresistible power was all worth it. No one would stop him, not even the Sith Emperor.
Revan was the ultimate power and he would not abuse it. He would use it as he intended to in the first place. To destroy his enemies and, especially, kill the Sith Emperor for keeping him apart from Bastila all those years. He would kill Malak too for taking her, he only hoped she would be strong until he got there. While he was in this deep meditation he did not notice the Ebon Hawk landing a short mile away or that some of the crew found him and decided to stay by him during this. He could not communicate with them but his Master told him that he brought the crew here to pick him up when he was finished. The minute he gained his new power his body was cured of the poison and he felt no pain from his impalement.
It was only a matter of time until he would be back. He waited years for this and he would wait for a few days. The only thing that concerned him was Bastila. He could not sense her through the bond and felt that she was in the temple below the Star Forge. He knew Malak would do simple tortures to get her to turn. Malak wanted her to turn against Revan and her undying loyalty after all she was too valuable to do the more extreme tortures. It was a little better but still he sensed much doubt in Bastila before all this and knew that it was enough to make her turn. A Sith can take any emotion and turn it into the darkside. She needed to be strong.
The others that watched him were in awe of what was happening. The auras of dark and light circled him but did not conflict instead they flowed in perfect harmony. Around Revan's body a white and black glow emanated from him. It baffled the two Jedi as to why this was happening. The light and dark never flowed together like this. While they did not dare go near Revan they did have two always near him as they waited. It had been five days and nothing.
When Canderous and Mission were standing outside the hanger doors they heard a faint clanking of metal. They rushed inside to see that Revan's aura was gone. Revan had his eyes closed and his chest was rising and falling as he began to breathe for the first time in five days. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the hanger. His left eye was brown while his right was gray. His mask hovered up and went onto his face. Underneath it he was glaring out into nothingness. For him there was no hanger or destroyed ship. He was seeing the galaxy through the Force. He could see and feel every life force in the galaxy.
The two behind him were sent on their backs as a giant wave of the Force exploded from Revan. All the metal that was in him was disintegrated instantly. He rose to his feet and all his wounds immediately were healed. He stood up and held his hand up to his face. In a brilliant explosion the entire ship blew apart and was completely gone save for Revan, Canderous, and Mission. The rest of the crew watched in awe as this happened. Revan looked all around the barren planet before turning around to Mission and Canderous who were on their feet.
"Revan you are alive!" Mission proclaimed. She was about to run to him when Canderous grabbed her arm. She looked at him questioningly and he shook his head. They both looked at Revan who was staring at them under his mask.
Revan was trying to focus. He had not been back to full power in weeks and the last time he was he was not this powerful. It was his own power and not the unlimited power but it was still greatly increased. For he was in perfect harmony and both light and dark were at his disposal at any time. He was twice as powerful as he was before this and that was without the extra power. He took a moment to get himself in control and surprisingly it did not take long. Ever since going to Malachor V and getting the latent darkside power he had been in constant struggle. Now, he did not have to try to get it under control the power bent to his will. He looked down at his hand and tightened it into a fist. Around him the very essence of the Force came to life. Wind came from behind him and sent everyone on the planet on their backs.
Revan lowered his Force level so that no one would sense him and the wind ceased. He looked back over to Canderous and Mission who were on their backs once more. Mission shot up and had a huge smile on her face. "Wow, it's good to see you back to normal." She said.
Revan smirked under his mask. "Better than normal Mission. Better."
Revan sat meditating with all the Sith holocrons activated around him. The Sith were greatly interested in his new powers and wanted to see them. Revan was reluctant as he never did trust Sith even if they claimed to be on his side. Revan was breathing steady as the Sith all looked on with great interest.
"You power is truly too great." Ajunta Pall said.
"I cannot fathom your power Revan." Tulak Hord added.
Revan slowly rose and opened his eyes. "Thank you masters. I have finally accomplished one of the things I set out to do. Now I must complete the others."
"Remember Revan, this power was not meant to be wielded by any mortal man. That is why you have it. You were meant for this." Tulak Hord reminded him.
"You may be a Jedi but you carry the legacy of the Sith. Take our vengeance on those who betrayed us. Kill the Sith Emperor." Ludo Kressh said.
"I intend to. But first, I have a mess to clean up. Thank you all masters for guiding me." Revan bowed and the Sith did the same.
"You are the Master now Revan." Tulak Hord said as all their spirits went away.
Revan smiled and then frowned. "You know I can sense you right?" Juhani stood behind him at the entrance to his room. Revan turned to her.
"Yes, I am just curious… since you are… well you, why didn't you destroy the enclave on Dantooine like Malak did?"
Revan looked into her eyes. "I do not wish to see more death. No this conflict, this war, is over and another will begin. But I am evading the question. I did not destroy the Jedi when I had the chance because I do not wish to. Even though me and the council disagree on almost everything it does not make me hate them. They may be my enemies but after tomorrow they will be my allies."
"Then why did you hide?"
Revan hesitated. "I… needed the galaxy to think I was dead. It was the best way to sneak up on Malak but we all know that failed." Revan pointed to his scarred eye. "But now no more hiding we attack at the source."
"You never said what happened to Bastila." Juhani said. Revan's features grew dark. He spoke with the crew and they all, save Carth, accepted his apology for hiding his identity. He told them that Malak won and was heading for the Star Forge. Then he gave them the coordinates. He spoke nothing of Bastila.
"Because I feel if I don't speak about it then it isn't happening." Revan said closing his eyes and lowering his head.
"She was captured?" Revan looked back up at her. "Can you sense her?"
Revan thought for a moment how to answer this. "I can sense her yes. Do I want to? No."
"Why?"
Revan was getting uneasy by her but answered anyway. "I don't want to know how she is. It is selfish I know but there is nothing I can do. No matter how strong I am I cannot break through to her bond without hurting her more. I can sense her and how she is but I don't want to. I don't want to see her falling."
"She will fall?"
"No, she will question and doubt herself as well as the Jedi. The question is will she fall before I can save her?"
A few hours later Revan began to pace impatiently in the security room. They were in hyperspace for over a day and they were minutes from the Star Forge. Revan knew what was coming, they would be crashing into the planet. Then it was a matter of plowing through the Rakata to get to the temple then going in the temple killing or turning a bunch of Sith and then deactivating the disrupter shields. Revan hoped he would be in time to find Bastila still in the dungeon before Malak knew he was on the planet. It was a sound plan just one problem: Revan needed the Star Forge intact and the Republic didn't.
He stopped his pacing as a smile came to his lips. It would be a god way to test his new abilities and it would probably work. But he pushed it out of his mind until it was time. Instead he went into the cockpit. "How much longer?"
Carth glanced back. "Oh so if we don't get there faster are you will kill me? Isn't that what Sith do?" Revan ignored him and looked on the other side of the controls. They were to arrive in the hour.
"Carth if you have problems I suggest you see a psychologist." Revan said.
"I have a problem with the man responsible with the deaths of millions if not billions standing right next to me."
Revan rolled his eyes. "I thought we went over this? Or are you trying to take out your latent anger for Saul out on me? For I have done nothing personally against you to earn your hate."
Carth glared at Revan. "No, you didn't. But that doesn't mean you should be acquitted of your sins."
Revan walked away laughing. "Believe me I know."
Revan made his way to the garage as he wanted to inspect HK before they got to the Star Forge. He stopped in front of his droid. "Statement: Master is it time to kill your meatbag apprentice yet? I have been so looking forward to this moment."
"The time is soon HK soon. But first I want to go over your systems and make sure you are all good to go."
"Statement: Very good Master I wish not to be underperforming when facing the meatbags." HK stood very still and his eyes ceased to glow. Revan pulled off the gloves on from his armor and began working on the droid. Giving it a good tune up and adding some extra features and programs to the droid. His work was good but there was always room for improvement.
Revan needed to work. He was driving himself crazy just standing around doing nothing. There was no more he could learn through the Force and he no longer needed to meditate to center himself for he was perfectly at peace. Years of doing nothing but war and constant battles of both warfare and the mind is hard to snap out of someone. Revan needed to be doing something or else his mind would drift to Bastila and how he failed her. 'No,' he thought stubbornly. 'She will outlast him. I will make it in time I know it!'
Revan held HK's head as he added another program for him to tell the difference between Jedi and Sith. He did not notice anyone head into the room until they were standing over his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Mission asked looking over his shoulder. Revan glanced back at her then back at his droid.
"Fixing his damaged wires. He lost the ability to pick of Force powers so I repaired that and I added a feature for him to tell the difference between Jedi and Sith." His voice was solemn. Mission knew there was something up.
"I said what are you doing?" Revan smiled. She was smart for her age.
"Trying to stay busy." Mission walked in front of him and sat down.
"Bastila?" Mission asked. Revan didn't say anything he just kept working. "You know it's okay to talk about how you feel. Even for someone as powerful as you."
Revan wanted to ignore her but he couldn't. He wanted to explode from how he was feeling. So many emotions tied into one. He was in control though and he would not. He just needed to wait until he saved her then everything would be alright. "Just leave it alone Mission."
"But it is going to eat away at you if something happens to her. You are going to blame yourself and that is what Malak wants." Revan looked up at her and chuckled.
"You need to stop hanging around me. You are too smart for your age."
Mission smiled at him. "I know. But seriously Revan, you need to stop beating yourself up."
Revan cocked an eyebrow at her. "Nonsense, I haven't even started beating myself up."
Mission folded her arms. "Revan you know what I mean."
"Yes I do. There is nothing I can do to change the fact that Bastila is captured but… I could have done something. I don't know, if only I had this power at the time…"
"But you can't go back. You can only save her."
"I know that but, I just wish she didn't have to be stuck in the middle of all this." Revan's eyes lowed to his droid as he began reassembling it. "It is my fault she is in this." He said getting angrier as the seconds went by. "I should be the one getting tortured not her!" He stopped and looked up.
Mission was staring at his right eye which turned to red. 'Didn't it used to be gray?' She thought. Revan saw the confusion and looked back down. "You better get ready we will be arriving within the hour." Revan said standing up and putting the head of his droid back on its body. Mission sighed and walked out.
Revan glanced back at her then looked at his turned off droid. He placed a hand on its shoulder and let out a steady breath. "If Malak succeeds then I fail."
The whole crew stood at the cockpit looking out at the Star Forge. All, but Revan, gaped in awe of the massive space station. The entire Sith Armada circled it keeping the Star Forge completely guarded.
"So that's the Star Forge, I've never seen anything like it." Carth said sitting in the pilot's seat.
"Trust me the outside is nothing compared to what is on the inside." Revan said.
"That's how you made all your ships?" Canderous asked.
"Yes, well sort of. You see it can be used for many things and a space factory is one of which. I never used any of the other systems because the Star Forge requires a huge amount of darkside energy. Probably why I always hated powering the damn thing up."
"Is Malak on there?" Mission asked.
"I can sense him, he is… stronger. Must be the Star Forge. He discovered how to get it to give him power." They all looked at him worriedly. He laughed and put up a hand. "Don't worry, nothing I can't handle."
"What about Bastila?" Juhani asked.
Revan dropped his gaze. "I don't want to know until I see her. Worst case scenario is we find her and she is turned to the darkside, then Malak won."
"What do you mean Malak won? You sound like you are giving up already." Jolee frowned.
"Yeah Revan never gives up!" Mission jumped in.
Revan shook his head. "You will never understand." He said quietly. Before anymore was said the alarm went off.
"Great, it looks like we've been spotted. We have incoming fighters." Carth said taking it off auto-pilot. "Someone get on those guns!" Canderous went to go but Revan held up a hand.
"No, I will handle this." Revan smirked seeing the ships on the radar screen. He took a few seconds to track them all then he held his hand out towards the window. As he did that one by one the Sith fighters blew up. Everyone was stunned at this display of power. All the ships were destroyed and the radar was clear once again.
They all turned back to Revan and stared at him. Revan flexed his arm and looked at his fist. "Man this feels good. Who's ready to face Malak?" He looked back at all of them. "Cause I sure am."
The ship lurched a little and everyone had to grab something. Revan was the only one who stood where he was. "Oh forgot to warn you about the disrupter field. We should put it down on the nearby planet." Revan said calmly.
Everyone got up and Mission glared at him. "You forgot!?"
Revan shrugged. "These things slip your mind when you are hungry for revenge."
"Bah, forget your revenge just focus on taking out the Star Forge." Jolee said. Revan flinched hearing this. He looked from Jolee to Carth.
"I'm going to send them a message and our coordinates to the Republic. Hopefully we can make it off the planet by the time they get here." While no one was watching him, Revan waved his hand at the control panel before Carth sent the message. The ship lurched more as it headed for the nearby planet. "Hold on, this could be a rough landing." Carth said gripping the controls.
"Canderous, HK, and Carth found the missing parts but T3 said it will take a while to repair." Mission said over the comlink. Revan, Juhani, and Jolee went straight to the temple killing all Rakata in their way. Revan didn't have time to deal with the native species. Revan let Juhani and Jolee do all the killing as he wanted to save his awesome powers for the Sith. While they went to the temple he sent the others to find the parts for the engines. It was a race against time but in everyone's minds it was to help the Republic when they arrived. For Revan it was for one person.
"Have him begin repairs and I will finish them when we get back." Revan shut it off and added. "And hopefully there will be four of us." Revan looked up at the shield on the temple.
"How are we supposed to bypass that?" Jolee asked looking over at Revan. Revan smirked and grabbed his mask off his belt. He pulled his black hood over and put his mask on.
"Like this." Revan held up his hand and the shield began to blink and slowly fade. Then it went back to full power and an orange beam went from it to Revan. The shield immediately disappeared and Revan clutched his fist. "Alright let's kill some Sith."
Revan began walking forward and Juhani and Jolee stared at him. "Glad he is on our side now." Jolee said. Juhani nodded. Revan walked up to the door and looked back over his shoulder.
"Are you coming?" The two quickly shook themselves out of shock and ran up with him. Revan waved his hand and the door opened to the dark temple. The two Jedi looked around at the eerie temple feeling a haunting sort of vibe.
"Kinda spooky." Jolee muttered.
"Eh, you get used to it." Revan shrugged and took a step inside. He used his right eye to look all around the temple and observe who was here. He clenched his hands into fists after scanning the entire temple. "Malak has taken Bastila out of here. He must have known we were coming. Well you, he thinks I am dead… again."
"How many Sith?" Juhani asked.
"Forty-three and most of them have pledged their undying loyalty to Malak. Not to mention the numerous droids here. No matter I will take care of this." Revan cracked his knuckles and took another step forward before looking back at the two from behind his mask. "Unless you want a piece of the action?" He didn't wait for an answer as he turned back around.
Revan quickly focused on the droids in the building. He closed his eyes and smirked. 'Of course Malak would attempt to make them the same way I made HK, the fool.' He held out his hand with his palm facing the ground. A small volt of electricity came from his hand and drifted slowly towards the ground. As soon as it touched the floor it quickly spread to the whole temple. Juhani and Jolee took a step back but Revan looked back over his shoulder. "It is alright it is only affecting the droids." Sure enough as the electric current touched them it did nothing. Throughout the halls they could hear echoes of droids short circuiting and blowing up. Revan looked left and right and felt the Sith were coming.
"Get to the armory and my old room and grab whatever, I should be done by the time you get back." He said to the two. He reached down and grabbed both his sabers activating them and holding them at his sides. "I will handle the rest."
"How do we know where they are?" Juhani asked. A small datapad flew out of Revan's pocket and back to them.
"I copied it from my datapad. All the bypass codes and door locks are on there as well. Now go quickly." The two looked at each other then ran. They thought Revan was crazy since he had Sith running at him from both corridors. How were they supposed to get there if the Sith were in their way? What they didn't know was Revan had this planned out. With a wave of the hand Revan affected all the minds of the Sith and blocked any chance that they would see the two Jedi. He called it Force Illusion. The ability to hide what is there and give life to what is not there. It worked as Juhani and Jolee ran right by the oncoming Sith.
They didn't stop to ask questions they just kept running by them like they weren't there. Revan looked left and right as the two corridors were filled with Sith. Most were shocked by Revan and some were grinning. While Revan's smirk couldn't get any bigger. "Thought I was dead?" Revan said.
"Malak destroyed you on the Leviathan I was there, how did you survive the crash?" One Sith raged. Revan deactivated his lightsabers and stood tall.
"There is much of me you don't know. But what you all know is that I am your Master." Some of them nodded and proceeded to bow while others laughed. One master took a step forward out of the group and grinned at Revan.
"Malak is the master now Revan. You are no more than a broken shell of your former self. I heard you have aligned with the Jedi just to win back Bastila. Pity that it was all for nothing." Revan turned his head slightly at the Sith Master that was speaking towards his left. He turned his mask back at the wall ahead of him. "So you do care for the Jedi. Too bad Malak claimed her though, she was a beautiful creature."
Revan didn't move. He ignored the Sith as best he could and instead turned his attention to the hopefuls. "I have trusted most of you with my armies in the past wars and now I call upon you to rejoin me once again. I will kill Malak and retake the Star Forge, who is with me!?" Almost immediately eleven Sith stepped forward towards the Knight. Others looked on in confusion while some lashed out at the traitors. Revan held up his hand and all those that tried to attack were frozen in stasis. The eleven walked up to him and kneeled. "We are with you." The front one said.
"Rise Fallen Jedi for that is our new name. You will leave this place and go to a ship on the beach do not enter until I arrive. Wait for me and if you are loyal then you will live in my new Republic." They all nodded and left following their new master's orders. Revan turned to the rest. He grabbed his red lightsaber and turned it on. "I sense more of you are undecided. Well let me help you, if you do not join me now you will die. Do not test my power for that was Malak's mistake. Who will choose life over death?"
The Sith all looked around at each other and another eight stepped forward. They all kneeled before Revan. "Rise and do the same as your comrades." They all rose and left following Revan's command.
Revan looked at the rest. "And so you all choose to die." The Sith Master grew angry.
"We all know the limitations of your power Revan. You barely managed to breathe after facing Lord Malak and you expect to persuade us into thinking that you could be stronger after surviving a crash like that?"
Revan laughed and held his right hand up to his mask. "It's funny what they say." His hand started to glow a bright blue. "What doesn't kill makes you stronger." He lashed out to the Sith on his left by throwing the ball of Force energy at them. The ball went into the middle of the group and blew up like a bomb. It sent every Sith to the walls and completely disintegrated the ones near the blast. "I didn't even know I could do that!" Revan said looking at his hand once more. The Sith to the right corridor all ran at him. He blocked each of their attempts with his crimson blade in his right hand. He still looked at his hand as he blocked all the pitiful attacks. Revan frowned under his mask and finally turned his head towards them. "That's not how you attack." He said still moving his hand faster than the eye could see blocking every attempt. "This is how you attack!" He lunged forward and went right through the group of Sith. The sound of lightsaber cutting through flesh echoed in the corridor. What anyone could see was Revan simply float in the air past all the Sith and land behind them at the end of the hall. He looked over his shoulder as all the Sith fell, some dismembered, dead.
Revan turned around to see the remaining Sith were all stunned and he could sense their fear. "Care to surrender?" He mocked them. The Sith Master that was speaking out against him took a step forward.
"Let's see how strong you are against a true Sith!" He unleashed a powerful wave of lightning upon Revan. Revan kept his guard down as the force hit him directly. The Sith Master laughed as he saw Revan didn't even try. He pushed more power behind his attack. "As I thought you just like to put on a show but when it comes to a real opponent you ar-" He was cut off by Revan's laughter. The Knight was standing in the midst of a powerful attack of lightning that would have killed a normal Jedi. Revan extended his own hand and all the lightning swirled together and came to Revan's palm. As the Sith Master tried to stop his attack Revan wouldn't let him.
"What's wrong? You can't control your power anymore? I thought you were a true Sith?" The Sith Master screamed in agony and Revan smirked. "Guess not." In a blinding flash of lightning all of the Sith Master's power was sent back at him. He shrieked in pain and collapsed. His corpse was fried and the last Sith all stepped away in fear. They all looked up at Revan.
"You are a monster!" One shouted. Revan turned his head to the Sith.
"Monster? Why don't you face your own monsters!" Revan held his hands behind his back and a giant black aura appeared behind him. A black beam entered each one of their minds and they all crumbled to their knees. Revan slowly walked over to the last of them. "You all kill without reason or thought. How does seeing all your demons feel? Get used to it because this is all you will see in Hell." Revan turned on his heel and walked away. "Don't worry you will die soon. Then the true nightmare begins."
He stopped in front of the massive door to the upper level knowing the computer could now sense it was Revan. He was not the same as he was the first time he came into the temple so the computer did not recognize him. But after using mostly darkside powers the computer picked up his recognition and opened the door for him. The door opened accordingly and Revan glanced back as Juhani and Jolee ran back to him. They took a moment to look over the mess Revan made.
"Have enough fun?" Jolee said looking down at the bodies.
"For now yes, now what did you find?" Revan asked turning towards them. Juhani opened a pack that they grabbed and handed it to him.
"I take it that most of it is yours?" She asked.
Revan nodded then looked through it. "Yes, this is where I finished making HK and most of his prototypes were in here." Revan picked up a few holodiscs and observed them. "Yes, Malak couldn't break them and design a new droid. No wonder they were so easy to kill with the Force." He put them back in and grabbed a lightsaber. "Here it is. My experimental blade." He held it up for them to see. "Not finished yet, still have missing pieces I can find after this." He placed it back in and grabbed a holocron. "My own holocron, forgot I had it." He went through and saw a bunch of crystals, lenses, and power cells. He pushed through and saw Mandalore's blaster and dagger. He reached down and grabbed the final thing. He pulled it out slowly and the two Jedi's looked at him confused. "Even Malak didn't know what it was." Under his mask Revan was smiling brightly.
He was holding a broken lightsaber that looked like it hadn't been used in years. He used the Force to disassemble it and in the middle was a crystal that did not glow and was of no color. The parts of the lightsaber fell to the floor as the only things that remained were the crystal and what looked like a broken lens. He snatched the two out of the air and put them in his pocket. He threw the pack on his back and turned to the door. "Enough reminiscing, let's take out the disrupter shield."
Revan led the two up to the summit and they were finally greeted by sunlight. As the exited the dark temple they all had to shield their eyes but saw a figure in the distance. Revan closed his left eye but saw through his right a dark presence. Whoever it was, was bathed in darkness. Revan walked slower towards the figure as his sight began to return. He stopped a good twenty feet away as the sun reflected right off the back of the figure making it so Revan could not make out who it was.
Jolee's eyes widened and Juhani gasped as the figure walked towards them. Revan still could not make out who it was and he wished he never did. His eyes widened under his mask seeing Bastila in Dark Jedi robes and wielding a brand new lightsaber. Revan's heart stopped as his entire body shook. "No," he whispered sadly.
Bastila walked up to the group wearing an evil grin. "Revan, I knew you would come for me. Malak thought you might be afraid to enter the temple again but he doesn't know you like I do. Not anymore. Not since you changed."
Revan couldn't breathe as he felt Mandalore piercing his chest once again with his own lightsaber. He lost. It was over, Malak won. Revan slowly held his hands up from his sides as if he were begging. "Why?" Was all that he could gasp out.
"Why? I did it because I am strong. I am stronger than you, I can see you for what you truly are Revan, weak! You lost your title then you went groveling back at my feet and the feet of the Jedi you are nothing."
Revan collapsed to his knees. Her words feel on deaf ears as Revan was already heartbroken. He felt like his heart exploded into a thousand pieces then the pieces were burned to ashes. Revan threw off his mask in front of him and pulled back his hood. He looked from her to his hands. He threw his face in his hands and wept.
Jolee and Juhani were stunned by Revan's actions but they could never fathom what Revan has truly lost when seeing Bastila like this. They both walked forward and had their weapons drawn ready to defend him.
Bastila laughed at him. "You see Revan you are weak. Just as Malak thought, you would crumble and break if I grew stronger than you. You just can't accept the fact that it's all over for you and you're so called plans." She activated her new lightsaber. "And now you will fall a broken crumbled man who tried to hold onto something that was never there."
Revan made no sounds as tears poured down his cheeks. He didn't even breathe as it pained him to do anything but cry. He was nothing without her and he would end as nothing. He no longer cared about anything because no one cared for him.
Bastila saw this as a time to strike and pushed the two Jedi back into the temple and she lunged at Revan. She tried to stab Revan where it hurt, the heart. As her blade got inches from his armor it stopped. She was still pushing with all her might but it would not budge. Revan still did not give up. Something in him pushed him and he knew instantly that this was his final test. Revan dropped his hands and closed his eyes. "I have failed you Bastila. And I am sorry." The barrier around Revan exploded in a wave of energy and Bastila slid back twenty feet though she did not fall down. Revan slowly got back on his feet and grabbed his mask on his way up. He looked down at his mask then slowly up at Bastila. His right eye flashed to red as a dark aura exploded around him destroying everything in a ten foot radius. The ground began to crumble under him as he put on his mask and hood. "But I will not give up." He activated his red saber and the ground under it exploded from the power Revan was putting out. "I have come too far to give up."
Bastila ran at Revan and sliced at his mask. Revan merely held up his blade and when the blades met Bastila staggered backwards from the power of coming into contact with Revan. She faltered for a moment then regained her composure and smirked. "At least it will be a fight." She ran at him again and threw her blade at him. Revan ducked under it and she called upon the Force to push him. Revan flipped over the Force wave and grabbed her lightsaber from the air. He landed on his feet right in front of her and held the blades to her throat. "I see the darkside has begun to corrupt you." Her face was slightly scarred and her eyes turned yellow from the influence of the darkside. "But you haven't been turned long otherwise you would be wearing a mask over your face like the rest of the Sith." Revan turned off her blade and offered it to her. "I am proud of you for holding out as long as you did." He said honestly. Bastila clenched her teeth and grabbed her blade. Revan turned around and took a step. "Or maybe you were already turned and you just didn't know it yet." Bastila turned on her blade and swung it at him. Revan's image disappeared. "Who you aiming for?" She gasped hearing Revan behind her. She turned around once more and swung only to find that he was gone again.
She turned back around to see him walking around a few feet away. "So Malak used simple pain tortures right? Probably a few psychological to make sure he had your undying loyalty but nothing too severe right?"
"You know nothing of what I went through!" She cried out lunging at him again. She slashed towards the back of his head and he turned sharply and held out his hand. Her blade stopped inches from his hand and he very slowly grabbed the burning blade. Her eyes widened seeing this.
"In fact I wrote the book on our torture. Would you like to her the more extensive ones?" Revan mocked her. Bastila was stunned at how quickly he changed his mood. First he was heartbroken as her and her Master perceived now he was back to normal, but Bastila had never seen this kind of power from him. She broke off her blade and tried to punch him in the face. He grabbed her fist with great ease and he spun her around taking her feet out from under her and wrapping his arm around her back so that he was holding her up, inches from the ground. "Why did you do it? What did he do to twist your mind? Power? Rule over the galaxy? Or was it something," Revan pointed with his free hand at her chest where her heart is, "closer to home?"
She gathered the Force in her hands and pushed him back with it. When it hit it only made Revan's cape flap behind him. He frowned seeing that he was right. He dropped her and walked away. She hit the ground as she did not expect this. She quickly got back on her feet and Revan had his back to her. "Did you not have faith in me Bastila? Did you not trust me is that it?"
Bastila was about to attack when she took a moment to realize how strong Revan was. She turned off her lightsaber and looked at him. Revan heard this and turned to her. Behind him Juhani and Jolee walked to his side. They knew Revan wanted to battle her alone and stayed back.
"Revan, you are better. And stronger somehow… you may not be lost yet. You are using that dark energy the Sith gave you… yes I can sense it! Your power has increased more than tenfold. I must say after all your preaching of how evil it was I did not expect you to fall to it."
"You are right, I am stronger than I was. But I am not using the darkside. Well not only the darkside. What you sense is my own power, I have not yet tapped into the unlimited power I hold but I will soon. Just to show you and Malak what true power is like." Revan said standing firm.
"Don't be a fool Revan. You and I can take the Star Forge and kill Malak and then we can rule the galaxy."
"Bastila after all that I have told you, you still do not see the truth. You are Malak's apprentice."
Bastila grew angry with Revan. "Revan it is in your power to single handedly take the galaxy and we can be together finally."
Revan closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He opened them and took off his mask and hood. He looked at Bastila in the eyes. "We were together Bastila."
Bastila looked into his eyes and her eyes went wide. She shook her head and retreated back to her ship. Juhani was about to go after her but Revan held up his hand. "Let her go, it is not yet time."
Juhani looked at him quizzically. "Time for what?"
Revan looked down at his mask as Bastila's ship powered up and flew towards the Star Forge. He put back on his mask and whispered. "She redeemed me and I shall redeem her."
Fin.
A/N: Sorry to all of you that wanted to see a badass fight between Revan and Bastila but now is not the time. As you can see Revan was merely toying with her and with all the other opponents he faced. And no Revan has not used his unlimited power. He is still using his own power which has increased substantially since he was at full power. When Revan uses the unlimited power you will know. Now the next chapter: the fate of Bastila and the Star Forge. What will Revan do THIS time? And what affects will it have on the galaxy? Please let me know what you think
