AN: Idea based from KotOR mod "Brotherhood of Shadow." You probably should see that first for this to make sense. Anyway, enjoy.
The sounds of turbolasers striking against the hull of the Star Forge's viewing platform did not bother Revan as he stared down at the corpse of his former apprentice. The redeemed Dark Lord of the Sith grasped his lightsaber in his hand, knowing his victory over Darth Malak. However, the feeling of victory never came to Revan.
As he stared down at Malak's corpse, Revan remembered all the battles they fought together within the past years. He remembered the battles waged against the Mandalorians, including Taris and Malachor V. Revan remembered the general who fought beside him and eventually was branded the name "exile" by the Jedi Order.
His memories were still in a mess with the Jedi Council wiping his mind, but he still could remember important bits and pieces. Most of his memories returned, thanks with his encounter of the warrior named Akirakon Sin, who was entrapped by the Rakatan prison. The ancient Sith warrior tried to take control of Revan's body, so he could bring about glory to the ancient Sith, the Sith that existed before the arrival of the exiled Jedi.
As they battled in his mind, Revan began recounting most of his memories, mainly from the start of the Mandalorian Wars to his capture by the Jedi. Revan defeated Akirakon Sin, but the memories he saw did not leave him, nor did the ancient Sith's words.
"Your embrace of the Dark Side was never a fall, it was a sacrifice, and one that would needed for the dark times which lie. To become the galaxy's greatest hero, you became its greatest villain."
The words made Revan remembered something else. When he and Malak chased the Mandalorians into the Unknown Regions, they found a terror that threatened the existence of the Republic. To fight that terror, Revan and Malak learned the ways of Dark Side and sought to unite the galaxy with the Star Forge. Now, Malak laid dead at Revan's feet and the Republic fleet would start bombing the Star Forge, thanks to Bastila using her Battle Meditation in the Republic's favor.
Quickly turning around, Revan exited the viewing platform and into the halls of the Star Forge. He needed to get to Bastila quick.
Inside the command center of the Star Forge, the redeemed Bastila Shan took her relaxed posture as she concentrated her Battle Meditation in favor of the Republic fleet. At first, her gift had been used against the Republic when she was a Sith, but thanks to Revan, she returned to the Light. Still, she feared what may happen if Revan lost against his duel with Malak.
Bastila's eyes quickly opened hearing the sound of one of the doors opening and she turned around to see Revan, much to her relief. "Revan," she said as she stood up with a smile on her face.
Revan said nothing as he walked up to the central console of the command center that projected a holographic image of the Star Forge. Bastila's smile faded away as she saw the seriousness on his face and sensed something was different about him. It made Bastila worry as she walked over to his side. "Revan what happened?"
Not taking his eyes away from the console, Revan replied, "Malak's dead. I'm going to send a broadcast to every ship within the sector."
As much as Bastila was glad to hear of Revan's victory, she was more perplexed by his sudden decision. "Why?"
"I have something very important to say," was all he said as he stood up, preparing himself for his broadcast.
Jedi Master Vandar and Republic Admiral Dodonna stood on board the bridge of the Republic flagship, trying to keep the Republic's forces in check. The fleet began losing the battle due to Bastila's Battle Meditation, but with that factor removed, the Republic began winning over the Sith.
At the sight of a Sith capital ship exploding, the admiral felt a rush of joy enter her body as she faced the Jedi Master. "We may just win this day yet, Master Vandar!" Dodonna said.
"Perhaps," Vandar frowned with uncertainty as he stared the gigantic Rakatan factory through the window. "Something has happened on the Star Forge. Feel it, I can."
Before Dodonna had the chance to ask, one of the officers on the bridge announced, "Admiral, we're receiving a broadcast from the Star Forge!"
Dodonna whipped her head towards the officer. "A broadcast?"
The officer nodded. "It's transmitting to every ship, including the Sith fleet."
Vandar and Dodonna could only look at each other with confusion before they turned to the communications terminal. Their eyes widen seeing the familiar face of the former Sith Lord on the screen. "Revan," Vandar recognized.
"Hear me, soldiers of the Republic and Sith Empire! I am Revan, hero of the Mandalorian Wars and former Dark Lord of the Sith!" Revan began. "Darth Malak is dead! The Star Forge is under my control now!"
Those words made everyone on the bridge froze with terror. Revan, the one who led the Sith Empire, has returned was in control of the weapon they were trying to destroy. Vandar and Dodonna's expressions held the most horror, for they feared of what Revan would do with the Star Forge in his possession, once more.
Still, they decided to listen as Revan continued. "All Republic forces are to halt their assault on the Star Forge. The Sith fleet will cease their fight with the Republic fleet and return to the Star Forge."
The information surprised the two, for they thought that Revan would use the Star Forge to attack the Republic. Instead, he was ordering a ceasefire, much to their surprise. But they weren't they only one thinking about this.
On board the Ebon Hawk, the entire crew surrounded the circular console in the freighter's main hold. Everyone was taken by surprise at Revan's sudden decision, the shock evident in their eyes and on their faces.
Carth slammed his hands on console in front of him. "What is he doing?" Carth demanded. "I thought he wanted to destroy the Star Forge, not take it back!"
Canderous could only snort at Carth's reaction. "Calm down, Republic," the Mandalorian told him. "He's just ordered a ceasefire. If Revan did return to his old self, he would have had the Republic destroyed."
Juhani stepped in the conversation, and defended Revan as well. "I agree with Canderous. I do not sense any malicious intent," Juhani stated. "Revan may not have returned to the Dark Side just yet."
Zalbaar let out a series of growls and roars that was equivalent to what Canderous and Juhani already said. "You said it Big Z," Mission agreed.
Carth could only return his gaze to the holographic image of Revan and wonder how it may turn out.
"From this moment on, I will be in control of the Sith, like I was in the past!" Revan proclaimed. "But I will not rule as the Dark Lord of Sith!"
T3 let out small chirp of confusion, wondering about Revan's statement. The only one who replied was Jolee, who said, "Oh, he's serious. But I'm wondering how's he going to keep the Sith in check."
At this point, Revan's assassin droid joined the conversation. "Commentary: I agree with the Jedi meatbag. The title of 'Dark Lord' comes with a position of great power. How will the master control the Sith without that power?"
No one had the answer to that question as they all returned their gaze to the holographic image of Revan, each one wondering how this will affect the galaxy.
Bastila's eyes widen with awe and shock as she watched Revan's deliver his words to the two opposing fleets. At first, the redeemed Sith apprentice was a little outraged by Revan's decision of keeping the Star Forge, but that was replaced with confusion when he ordered the two fleets to stop fighting and when he proclaim ruling his old empire not as a Dark Lord of Sith. At that point, Bastila became aware of what was before her.
From when she fought him earlier, Bastila could sense there was something different from the ex-Sith Lord reprogrammed by the Jedi. However, she chose to ignore it and focus on the task at hand as she used her Battle Meditation to help the Republic fleet. Now, Bastila saw something rekindled inside of Revan, as if she was witnessing his true self.
She watched Revan continue his statement to the Republic and the Sith, his words filled with power. "From this moment on, the Dark Lords are dead! The Sith will be ruled by a king, as it was in the past!"
Revan paused for moment, allowing himself to catch his breath. "A new era will begin, an era of peace! But we must be prepared for war, for there is great darkness outside the regions of Known Space. We must be prepared! If we do not, the galaxy will be engulfed in a war worse than this one!"
After speaking those words, Revan outstretched his right out as if he was seizing something and shouted, "Soldiers of the Sith, obey your king!"
AN: Alright this idea is based off of the KotOR mod Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge, which you can find on YouTube. The idea of Revan becoming the Sith King came from Akirakon Sin, the antagonist of the Mod. He was proclaimed the Sith King, but sealed away into a Rakatan artifact by his advisors. When he returns, he wants to destroy Revan and his Sith Empire, for they follow the teachings of his betrayers. If Revan chooses light, he assures Sin he will destroy the Sith Empire. I wondered what would happen if Revan learned from Akirakon Sin and became the Sith King himself, which led to this.
Now, if you have any comment, please leave them in the review. Thank you.
Raika out.
