The Republic Strikes Back


Shado Vorn

Recommended Posts

- The story takes place just after the events of KOTOR. Revan returned to his rightful place as the Dark Lord of the Sith. Bastilla Shan has become his apprentice. HK-47 and Canderous Ordo serve as his own personal mercenaries/right hand men/droid. Zaalbar was Force Persuaded by Revan to kill Mission Vao to honor his life-debt to him. Zaalbar was then killed by Bastilla for Revan's own amusement. T3 was turned into scrap heap with some small parts salvaged for HK. Jolee Bindo and Juhani were both killed by Revan. Carth Onasi is the only known survivor of the Republic. -

 

- Ten years have passed since Revan returned to power. The Sith army is now virtually invincible. The Republic is seemingly dead .... or so Revan and his followers thought .... -

 

- Carth became the head of the Republic, recruiting anyone he could to his cause. He and his followers constructed a base on the Unknown planet. He trained his followers to become Republic soldiers. The only thing he needed now was something that would be hard to find thanks to Revan: the aid of the Jedi. -

 

- Revan quickly sent his forces to destroy any known Jedi that was not under his dark influence. Jedi who followed the Light Side of the Force were quickly becoming extinct. Carth needed the help of a master Jedi, to train others to become followers of the Light, to strengthen the fight against Revan. A Jedi Academy was built on the Unknown planet, but it had neither teacher nor student to fill it's great halls. Carth was determined to change that. -

 

- Carth sent members of the new Republic to the very ends of the Outer Rim to search for any living Jedi he could find. He could only gather a small handfull of Jedi masters, but even that amount he was greatfulll for. Carth quietly spread the word on different planets to join his cause. The Jedi masters began training promising young Padawans! -

 

- Revan wasn't exactly unsuccessful in his ventures either though .... with Canderous Ordo by his side, he was easily able to influence Mandalorian clans to swear alligance to the Sith. Also, a certain bounty hunter by the name of Cassus Fett had also been found to still be alive in the deserts of Tatooine! Cassus was paid a huge fee to kill Carth Onasi, which Revan knows is still alive. Time is running short, the Sith army grows ever stronger. This truly could be the last chance of the Republic to stop the menace of the Sith. Only time will tell the outcome. -

Did you like the story? I hope you did! Well, I guess we can start role playing! I'll play as a promising young Jedi known as Shaden Skywalker!

= Shaden Skywalker was always told by his parents that he would one day grow up to be something great. Shaden never took it to heart though. Shaden lived on Tatooine with his mother and father. They were poor, and being poor on Tatooine is not an easy life to live. Somehow, though, they got by. Shaden met Revan before he became the Dark Lord of the Sith. It was during a trip that Revan made to Tatooine in search of the Star Forge map of that planet. Shaden loved to watch the swoop bike races as a child. Well, one day, this mysterious stranger appears out of nowhere, enters the swoop races, and becomes the swoop race champion of Tatooine with ease! This stranger was Revan. Shaden had met his idol. He wanted to be just like this stranger when he grew up, he wanted to the fastest and best swoop rider there ever was. Before Revan left, Shaden managed to persuade his idol into giving him an autoprint. To Shaden, this autoprint was like a lightsaber to a Jedi. It meant everthing to him. Years passed by, and Shaden followed his dream. He became the best swoop rider on Tatooine. Shaden wasn't fully pleased yet though. He wanted to test his skill on other worlds. During a trip to Manaan, Shaden's father got into a fight with a soldier of the Sith. The soldier managed to trick his parents into entering the Sith base on Manaan. Shaden secretly followed them. His parents were tortured before his eyes, within the base. They were then placed on a ship that was headed to Korriban, where they would meet their unfortunate end. Shaden snuck aboard the ship before it took off in an effort to save his parents. He failed and was captured by the Sith. Eventually they landed on Korriban, where a suprise visit from Revan himself was made. Revan was in the mood to amuse himself. Shaden was forced to watch his parents tortured and brutally murdered by the Dark Lord. Shaden was broken inside. Things got worse when Revan took off his mask and stared into the eye of the young Skywalker. -

 

Revan - Shaden Skywalker. Let it be known that it does not pay to anger a Dark Lord. You will bow to me. I will train you in the ways of the Dark Side. The anger and hatred that are within you now, let these emotions flow through you. Let it become your power. You will become a great Dark Jedi, and perhaps, one day, the next Dark Lord. You see, I know that my apprentice is already forming a plan to try and kill me and take over. I will make you into the ultimate Dark Jedi. I will pass my knowledge onto you, you will be my new apprentice, and you will kill my old one. You will be a great Jedi, young Skywalker. What say you?

 

- After witnessing the slaughter of his parents, Shaden was already at a loss for words. The fact that the killer of his parents had just offered him a place by his side, infuriated Shaden. But the straw that broke the Bantha's back, was when Revan unmasked himself. Shaden had recognized the Dark Lord as his now former idol. Something came over Shaden. Something that couldn't be explained. Shaden let out a mighty roar of anger, that shook the very walls of the Sith Academy! Shaden unwittingly used a Jedi Force push, that slammed Revan against a wall! Shaden broke free and fled the Academy. -

 

- Shaden had no hope of survival, but he didn't really care either. As the Sith began to close in on him for the kill, Shaden was snatched and pulled into some bushes. He was suddenly draped in stealth. The Sith had lost him. -

 

- His rescuer explained that he was a friend, and would take him to a place where he would be safe. Shaden wasn't exactly up for a fight, as he had absorbed alot in that single day. He followed his rescuer to a ship. They quickly fled Korriban and were headed to the Unknown planet. -

 

- Shaden sat next to his rescuer but said nothing to him. He was too busy mourning his parents to really care about anything else that was going on. The stranger decided to break the ice and speak first. -

 

Stranger - You allright, kid? What the heck happened down there? K ... kid? Don't you even want to know who I am? Hell ... a thank you would be nice ... nah. Not necessary. My name is .....

 

- To be continued ... hopefully -

"...Ethan Korr. I'd also like you to meet my daughter, Teri Korr."

 

For the first time, Shaden noticed the girl sitting in the shadows. She stepped forward and greeted him.

 

"My father is well known for his rescues," she said. "Even I don't know how he manages to be where the trouble is."

 

"Wrong place, right time," Ethan laughs.

- Shaden opens his mouth but no words come out. He has so much on his mind .... the death of his parents, the betrayal of his idol, the fact that he used the Force ... it was alot to absorb. He was broken inside. Still, he managed to say something. -

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

Th .... thank you for saving me.

 

- That is all he could get out of himself. He then leaned against one of the walls of the ship, held himself, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. -

 

- Elsewhere, at the Sith Academy on Korriban, Darth Revan sits on his bed pondering current events ... -

 

=Revan=

The Skywalker child used the Force. I would not be so concerned except for the fact that he is so incredibly strong in the Force! Stronger even then me! I must stop him from learning his true potential. I must have him DESTROYED! Those damn Korrs ... Ethan and Teri. They ..... disturbed my plans. They will pay for such foolishness. Once they land on the Unknown planet, Cassus Fett will be waiting for them. He will kill all three of them in one foul swoop. After this deed has been done, he will kill Carth Onasi. Then I shall unleash my dark minions upon the planet, annihilating all who oppose the Sith! Cassus better not return until these deeds are done ... or he will feel the wrath of the Dark Side not known to one such as he!

"No, let him sleep," Ethan said as Teri moved over to Shaden. Teri objected.

 

"But he'll sleep much better in a bed," she said. Ethan shook his head.

 

"Let him rest," he said. "He's just come out of a great danger. Being chased by Sith isn't something that happens every day."

 

"Dad," Teri said, rolling her eyes. "For us it does happen every day."

 

A small alarm went off.

 

"Speaking of every day..." Teri said. "The Sith are on our trail. No, wait. Even better. Cassus Fett. We can't outrun him."

 

"He'll wait until we're on the ground," Ethan said. "He'd rather see with his eyes that we're dead. He'll give us a few warning shots and speed right by."

 

Sure enough, Cassus gave three warning shots, only one of them hitting the ship. Even that one was enough to send Shaden leaping to his feet with a wild look in his eyes.

 

"Teri," Ethan yelled. "Return fire!"

 

Teri had already disappeared into one of the gun turrets. Fett's ship lurched slightly before continuing on its path.

 

"I hit him once," Teri called, "but it didn't do much damage. We can expect a nasty surprise when we land."

- Shaden was startled, but not scared. He looked to Teri and then to Ethan. He absorbed the situation in his mind, then he reacted. -

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

Ethan, man the other gun turret, I'll fly the ship!

 

- Ethan turned and looked at Shaden a bit startled. -

 

=Ethan Korr=

"Fly the ship"? I don't think that's such a great ide....

 

=Teri Korr=

Dad! Just listen to him! We don't exactly have time to argue right now anyway! Get over here!

 

- Ethan rushed over to the other gun turret and hopped into the seat. Shaden hopped into the pilot seat and took over flying. -

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

Get ready for a bumpy ride! I can manuever us to get in some shots on whoever it is that's attacking us, and get us out of the jam just in time for the attacker to miss us, but I need you two to be on point with your shots, OK?

 

=Teri Korr=

No problem!

 

=Ethan Korr=

Sure thing.

 

- Shaden flew almost professional. He manuevered in close to Cassus' ship. Teri and Ethan shot his ship with ease. Shaden then flew away from the ship as Cassus fired off his shots. He missed. Shaden flew in close one more time, then Teri and Ethan were able to greatly damage his ship. Cassus leaped into an escape pod on his ship. The pod headed towards some nearby planet. The trio was safe ... at least for now. -

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

Wooooooo!

 

=Ethan Korr=

That ... that was great!

 

=Teri Korr=

How did you learn to fly like that, Shaden?

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

Well, my dad flies ..... flew a ship for a living. He had to deal with space pirates every once in a while. He wanted me to learn the trade, so he taught me how to fly. Besides, flying a ship isn't too different from racing a swoop bike, so it was easy for me to learn.

 

- Shaden got up and Ethan sat back in the pilot seat, and took over flying the ship. Shaden sat down next to Teri and the two began a conversation with eachother. -

=Shaden Skywalker=

My parents were kidnapped on Manaan and taken to a ship. I followed the kidnappers to the ship and secretly boarded. I arrived to see my parents being tourtured by the Sith. I tried to free my parents but instead was captured myself. We were taken to Korriban by the Sith, where Darth Revan killed my parents. He tried to get me to become his new apprentice, right after he killed my parents! I hate him. He will pay. The worst part about it, is that he was once my idol. I'll get into that some other time though. I don't really feel much like talking, I'd rather get to know more about you, Teri.

"Hmm," Teri said thoughtfully. "I guess the best place to start would be at the beginning. My mom hates my dad for a reason we still like to keep secret. She gave birth to my brother and I, but then told my dad to leave. I grew up on Coruscant with her being the only parent I knew.

 

"One day when I was playing outside, my dad came back. He asked me if my mom was home and I took him in to see her. I was puzzled by her reaction to this man I didn't know. She ordered him to leave. When I asked her who he was, she told me to mind my own business. He got angry. He asked her if my father was not my business. From that I discovered who the man was. He left and my mom told me not to go outside ever again.

 

"Eight years ago, when I was 8 years old, I ran away from my mom because I wanted to find my dad. I found him after two years of searching and have been travelling with him since. It's been six years. My mom has never come after me because she doesn't want me returning and filling my brother's mind with how wonderful our dad is. She decided that having one child leave is better than both.

 

"My dad and I travel everywhere. I usually stay with the ship while he goes out to do whatever it is we are there for. On Korriban, it was to find you. Sometimes, I join him and leave the ship, but those are on the rare occasions he thinks he might not be able to handle the situation alone."

- Shaden nodded his head in understanding. He stayed silent for a moment until he thought of something Teri had said. -

 

= Shaden Skywalker =

You came to Korriban to find me? How did you know I was there?

 

- Just then, Carth Onasi's voice was heard on the ship's communicator. It was a transmission from the new Republic, claiming sanctuary for enemies of the Sith on the Unknown Planet. -

 

= Ethan Korr =

I was wondering when Carth was going to give us those coordinants!

 

- Ethan changed the direction of his ship to head to the Unknown planet. -

 

= Shaden Skywalker =

Teri? How did you know I was on Korriban?

 

= Teri Korr =

Well, I don't know the full details, but Carth Onasi requested it himself.

 

= Shaden Skywalker =

Carth Onasi requested my rescue? Carth's the head of the Republic, he's famous all over the galaxy for his valiant efforts against the Sith ... and he requested someone to rescue me? How did he even know I existed?!?

 

= Ethan Korr =

You know as much about this as we do, kid. We'll find out when we get to Carth. He seems to know something about you that we ... and I'm thinking you too do not know.

 

- Shaden looked confused but a little excited. He couldn't wait to get to Carth. He had heard stories of this man, but never seen him in person or anything. Carth was like a legend! -

 

-=OOC=-

I needed to use your characters to further the story a bit, wildjedi, so if you ever want to use mine for the same purpose, feel free to.

"You're special," Teri said. "I haven't known you very long, but even I can tell that."

 

"Teri," Ethan said cautiously. He glanced at Shaden. "The duck needs his pond."

 

"Sometimes there's room in the pond for a goose," Teri replied. Ethan frowned.

 

"This pond is too small right now," he said. "Wait until the river fills it."

 

Shaden stood in confusion, wondering what this might mean.

 

 

OOC: Just so you know and can work around it, Ethan and Teri are Jedi, but are trying to avoid mentioning it just yet. The duck is Shaden. His pond is his lack of knowledge at the current time. The goose is the knowledge he doesn't have yet. The river is Carth, who will most likely spill the goose into the pond.

You got it lol!

 

- Shaden was quite confused about what Teri and Ethan were talking about, so he decided to inquire about it. -

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

Um ... say what?

 

=Ethan Torr=

Don't worry, Shaden, you'll understand in due time. You and Teri should get some rest, because once we get to the Republic's base of operations, I have a feeling that none of us will be getting very much sleep.

 

- Shaden dismissed the conversation and chose a bed to sleep in on the ship. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he was actually deep in thought about the day's events that had transpired. He was greatful to the Torrs for their help, but he was still broken inside over his parents brutal murder committed by a man he used to look up to. He secretly swore never to enter a swoop bike race ever again. He thought about what he should do now that he was all alone. He decided he would kill Revan somehow. His heart began to fill with rage and anger and hatred. His only quest for now, would be to end the very existence of the killer of his parents. He didn't know how, but Shaden had been known to go through with anything he had set his mind to. Tears ran down his face. He was in so much pain that he couldn't bare it. Suddenly, he felt as if his thoughts had been invaded. He quickly rubbed his tears away and opened his eyes. He sat up to see Teri in his room standing next to his bed. -

 

= Shaden Skywalker =

I ... I was thinking about the things that happened today. It felt like someone was watching my thoughts. It was weird. But I feel I should tell you something about what I was thinking. I am going to kill Revan! I don't know or care HOW, but I AM!

 

- Shaden waited for Teri to respond. -

For a moment, Teri didn't say anything, but rather just stood there looking into Shaden's eyes. It made him slightly uncomfortable and he looked away. It felt like she was looking deeper than his eyes, but how could she be looking straight into... his brain?

 

"I understand your feelings," she said at last. "But sometimes revenge isn't the best way to go. Have you ever thought about trying to win Revan to your thinking?"

- Shaden understood her way of thinking about the situation, but it didn't steer his plan any. He looked back to her. -

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

I understand you mean well, Teri, but all means to winning Revan over to my thinking went out the window when he brutally murdered my mom and dad right before my eyes and then asked me to join him. No, I think the only thing that's going to satisfy me if even, will be when I take his life in the same way he took my parents away from me. Brutally.

 

- A painfully sad expression came across Shaden's face again. It then turned to anger. He covered his face with his hands to cover up his sadness as if it was a bit embarrassing to him. -

- Shaden took Teri's advice and worked on getting some sleep. When he awoke, he noticed that the ship was no longer flying. They had landed on the Unknown planet! Ethan and Teri were already off the ship. Shaden wondered why they did not wake him up when they landed ... he decided to look around for them. He happened by a window of the ship where he could see Ethan and Teri talking with some guy he had never seen before. He hurried off of the ship to join them. He was about to walk up to them when the conversation they were having cought his ear .... -

"And how are you, Master Korr?" the man asked respectfully. Ethan laughed.

 

"Old friend," he said. "I may be a Jedi Master, but there should still be no need for me to ask you to call me Ethan."

 

"And how is the great Master Korr's padawan?" the man continued, ignoring Ethan's comment. Teri laughed at the look on her dad's face.

 

"I think you'd better not underestimate my master, the great Ethan Korr, Mr. Onasi," she said, her eyes sparkling. "In response to your question, I'm doing just as good as my dad. But we didn't come here for a reunion of friends. We've brought you somebody."

 

Carth looked to the ship, but didn't see Shaden hiding underneath.

 

"Yes, we left him on board," Ethan said. "He's still sleeping."

- Shaden decided it was pointless to hide, so he made his way over to the three. Their conversation stopped as they turned their attention to him. -

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

H....hi everyone.

 

=Ethan Korr=

Carth Onasi, this is Shaden Skywalker. Shaden Skywalker, this is Carth Onasi.

 

- Carth and Shaden shook hands. -

 

=Carth Onasi=

Shaden Skywalker! It's about time we crossed paths! Well, before we say anything more, Let's all go inside and relax. We have a lot to talk about!

 

- Ethan and Carth started their way to the base, catching up on old times on the way. Teri shortly followed, but stopped when she noticed Shaden lagging a bit behind. -

 

=Teri Korr=

Is everything alright, Shaden?

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

I ... yeah. Everything's alright. Thank you for your concern though, Teri. We should get moving.

 

- Shaden smiled at Teri, Teri smiled back. The two joined the other two at the entrance to the base. -

They went inside and were greeted by a wide hallway that was extremely colorless. Shaden was relieved when they entered a room that appeared much more comfortable and colorful. Carth motioned for them all to take a seat.

 

"And now Shaden," he said grandly, "I think it's time we get to know each other better."

- Everyone sat down. Ethan, Teri, and Shaden each sat across from Carth. The conversation began. -

 

=Carth=

I'm Carth Onasi, last surviving member of the old Republic. I am now the current leader of the New Republic. I'm sure you're wondering what all the camotion is about you ....

 

=Shaden=

... The thought has crossed my mind ...

 

=Carth=

Do you know what a Jedi is?

 

- Shaden's eyebrow perked up. -

 

=Shaden=

Yes ... well, I can't exactly define a Jedi, but I know that they control the Force. Some use it for good, and some for evil. Why?

 

=Carth=

We'll get to that in a minute. My friend Ethan here tells me that you were captured by Darth Revan and the Sith. He also told me the unfortunate news of your parents, which you have both my, and the entire Republic's condolences for.

 

=Shaden=

No offense, Mr. Onasi, but is there a point to this?

 

- Shaden noticed Teri looking at him out of the corner of his eye. It felt almost as if she was soothing him into patience with her mind. He mentally shrugged it off and continued his conversation with Carth. -

 

=Carth=

*Ahem*... Yes, of course. I appologize if I seemed to be beating around the bush a bit ... old habbits, you see. Well, here on the Unknown planet, we have formed an academy for the small amount of Jedi we find. Here we train them in the ways of the Jedi. Hopefully, they will grow to be Jedi Masters of the Light. They are a great help in the fight against Revan. You have been brought here because the Jedi Masters that teach here, have told me that you are extremely strong in the Force ... so strong, in fact, that you could be a great asset in the Republic/Sith war. You could be the key to the victory of the Republic!

 

=?=

Do not speak too hastily, Carth.

 

- Everyone turned and looked at the mysterious figure who had entered the room. Carth smiled and stood up, facing the stranger. -

 

=Carth Onasi=

Randu! It's about time you showed up! Ladies and gentlemen, this is Rendu Fora. He is the head Master Jedi of the academy!

 

- Rendu Fora was a Twi'lek Jedi Master who was strong in the Force. He was the first of the Jedi teachers that Carth had found. As Rendu prepared to speak, he kept his eyes soley on Shaden Skywalker. It made Shaden feel a bit uneasy, but he didn't mind. -

 

=Rendu=

Shaden Skywalker! We meet at last. I am Rendu Fora. I must take you to meet the rest of teachers and students here at the academy at once!

 

=Shaden=

No offense, sir, but I just met you. With what I've been through lately, it's a bit hard for me to trust anyone aside from Teri and Ethan.

 

- Shaden looked at Teri and then to Ethan as if begging one or both of them to go with him. -

 

=Ethan=

No worries, Shaden. You'll be fine here. You're on the safest place in the galaxy ... at least it's safe for now.

 

=Teri=

I'll go with him, dad. I want to scope the place out for myself anyway.

 

=Ethan=

Is that okay, Carth?

 

=Carth=

Of course it is! It'll give me and you a chance to catch up on old times anyway. Go right ahead, Teri!

 

=Rendu=

Excellent. If you two will just follow me ....

 

- Shaden felt relieved that Teri had decided to join him. He had really taken a liking to her. Rendu Fora led the way as Shaden and Teri followed. -

- Shaden shook Rick's hand. -

 

=Shaden=

Hello, Rick. My name's Shaden Skywalker.

 

=Rick=

Nice to meet you, Shaden.

 

=Rendu=

I'd hate to interrupt, my friends, but Shaden, the Jedi Consel wants to meet you. We shouldn't keep them waiting.

 

- Shaden looked at Rendu, then at Teri and Rick. -

 

=Shaden=

You two go ahead and get to know eachother, I'll be back when they're done with me.

 

- Shaden then followed Rendu over to the Jedi Consel. There were six Jedi Masters in all. Four of them were human two males and two females, one Twi'lek(Rendu), and one of an alien race that Shaden had neither seen nor heard of before. -

 

=Rendu=

Shaden Skywalker, I'd like you to meet the Jedi Consel. To the far left is Master Drett, next to him is Master Jannasi, next to her is Master Kenobi, next to him is Master Trinitia, next to her is Master Londar. I, of course, am Master Fora.

 

=Master Londar=

Welcome you are, Shaden Skywalker. Happy are we to have you here with us.

 

=Shaden=

Thank you, Master Londar.

 

=Master Trinitia=

Shaden, you have been brought to us not by chance, but because you are strong in the Force. We would like to train you in the ways of the Jedi.

 

=Master Kenobi=

You are gifted, young one. How you choose to use that gift is up to you. We can only hope that you will follow the ways of the light if you allow us to train you.

 

=Master Drett=

I sense anger and a lust for vengence within you, Skywalker. Make no mistake, we are willing to train you, but we will not hesitate to kill you if you fall to the Dark Side.

 

=Master Jannasi=

Control yourself, Master Drett! We want him to join us, not hate us. Besides, a fallen Jedi is not one that cannot be brought back to the light. Such words are unbecoming of a Jedi such as yourself!

 

=Master Drett=

I appologize, Shaden.

 

=Shaden Skywalker=

It's okay. I will not let my anger influence me. I would like to be trained in the ways of the Jedi. I would do my best to further the light.

 

=Master Londar=

Good this is. Rest first you must. Start your training tommorrow ... we will.

 

- Shaden felt a glow of excitement all over his body. He smiled as he returned to Teri and Rick. -
