Darkness Rising

[LordRevan123]

I am so sad that it is almost done.

[Jason Skywalker]

Sad to know that fic is almost over. I choose the first but i have and idea. A fic about yourself, like Jan is writing and i will. Your choice though.

[RC-1162]

if youre doing a T3 fic, i suggest you research all you can about what happens to him so that you can set your story in the correct storyline.

I just looked on Wikipedia on T3 and it said that T3's fate was unknown, other than taking the Exile into the Unknown Regions to find Revan. I'll come up with a good excuse though. I think I'll do the T3 story. The working title at the moment is Tales of T3.

[RC-1162]

i'm suddenly getting the odd feeling that i've heard that particular name somewhere. did you think it up?

No, I saw it as a suggested name for KOTOR III in an Unknown Regions Thread.

Chapter VII

Alone Again

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Carth noticed the Ebon Hawk landing in Dock Module 2. Finally the Ebon Hawk and her crew were finally here.

 

“Lieutenant Grenn, please escort the Exile and his friends to my office.” Carth told Lieutenant Grenn.

 

“Right away Admiral.” Grenn told Carth.

 

Grenn left Carth’s Office and ran to Dock Module 2 to greet the Exile and his friends.

 

*****

Jaden got out of the Ebon Hawk. Atton, Bao-Dur, Brianna and everyone else, except Mira had decided to come. Mira had wanted to go to Nar Shaddaa. She said there was one left Bounty to do, before she could forget about her past. Even Zor decided to come, even though he was still in pain from his rebirth. Grenn arrived in Dock Module 2 to greet them.

 

“It’s a pleasure to see you all again,” He told them, “Admiral Onasi is expecting you all in his office.”

 

*****

Bastila went to speak to Carth.

 

“Is he here?” Bastila asked.

 

“Yes,” Carth told her, “The Exile has finally arrived. He has brought his whole crew with him too.”

 

Bastila sighed.

 

“What’s the matter?” Carth asked.

 

“I remember when Revan did similar things,” Bastila told him, “I miss him a lot.”

 

Carth put his hand on Bastila’s shoulder.

 

“We all do.” He told her.

 

“Carth, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t call the Exile the Exile anymore,” Bastila told him, “He is no longer an exile. He is Jaden Lennon, one of the greatest Jedi Knights in the history of the Jedi.”

 

“That is his name?” Carth asked, “Was he friends with Revan?”

 

“At one time yes,” Bastila told him, “Before he was exiled. I doubt he would care about him anymore.”

 

“I’m sure he still does Bastila,” Carth told her, “Trust me, I’ve seen a lot worse.”

 

“I suppose,” Bastila said, “I must speak with Jaden after your discussion.”

 

“Okay then.” Carth said.

 

The door opened and Jaden and the others were here.

 

“Grenn you know the drill.” Carth told him.

 

“Right away Admiral.” He said, leaving the office.

 

“I best leave too.” Bastila told Carth.

 

As soon as Bastila left, Carth spoke.

 

“It is great to see you all again. Especially you Jaden.”

 

“How did you know my name Admiral?” Jaden asked.

 

“A friend told me,” Carth told him, “At this point, the Republic is well on it’s way to becoming great again.”

 

“I don’t think so Admiral,” Jaden told him, “I had the same vision as Revan had five years ago. About the True Sith.”

 

“Was it as bad as Revan’s dream?” Carth asked.

 

“Worse,” Jaden told him, “The True Sith are becoming stronger, feeding on the Force itself, plaguing those who feel the Force.”

 

“What does that mean?” Carth asked.

 

“I must find Revan and help him confront them.” Jaden told Carth.

 

“Okay,” Carth said, “However, your companions are staying here I believe.”

 

Jaden seemed confused. Were they? Was this something Carth had organised? Was it something everyone else wanted to do? Or was it the fact that they had all become bored of him after two months of travelling together?

 

“Are all my companions staying?” Jaden asked.

 

“I don’t know,” Carth told Jaden, “Bao-Dur has agreed to stay on Telos to help with the Restoration Project…”

 

“I need to speak with Admiral Onasi.” Mandalore interrupted.

 

“I need to go back to Nar Shaddaa,” Atton told them, “There are some old friends there who might consider helping the Republic.

 

“Atris has called to me, through the Force,” Brianna told them, “She wants something for me to do.”

 

“So you’re all abandoning me?” Jaden asked, feeling slightly upset at the fact they were leaving him, “What about you Visas? HK? T3? Zor?”

 

T3 beeped silently. Jaden knew that T3 was saying no.

 

“Are you kidding?” Zor asked, “I’m injured and need rest.”

 

Jaden sighed. Everyone was leaving him.

 

“Statement. I may consider staying with you Master.” HK told Jaden.

 

“Really?” Jaden asked.

 

“HK, I could gladly use some assistance here on Telos.” Bao-Dur told him, a little too overconfidently.

 

“Query. What for Meatbag?” HK asked.

 

“Well, let’s just say that many people want to have me killed and I will need someone to…” Bao-Dur started.

 

“Statement. Deal Meatbag!” HK shouted.

 

“What about you Visas?” Jaden asked, hoping that somebody was going to stay with him.

 

“I felt a disturbance in the Force,” She told Jaden, “On Katarr, I must go there.”

 

Jaden sighed. Kreia’s predictions of the future were coming true. Did that mean Mira would die too? Jaden had to find out. He knew that she had gone to an old mining facility, near the Unknown Regions. He had to find her and stop her. Maybe Kreia was also right about Jaden going into the Unknown Regions to find Revan. It might be the last time, he ever saw his friends again.

 

“Okay then,” Jaden told them, “This maybe the last time I’ll see you all. Brianna, I just want to express my feelings towards you and I want to do it in front of all my friends.”

 

Brianna walked towards Jaden. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her in for a long kiss. There was big reaction from everyone. The main reaction was from the Droids though. Jaden could hear T3 beeping wildly in excitement.

 

“Statement. Master, please get a room!” HK shouted, “I think I’ll have to erase these last thirty seconds now!”

 

Eventually Jaden pulled away from Brianna and whispered something to her.

 

“I’ll miss you Brianna. There is one last thing I want you to do for me. Rebuild the Jedi Order on Coruscant. The dark side of the Force is rising and the Republic will need all the assistance that they can get.”

 

Before Jaden could leave, Brianna whispered something to him.

 

“Anything for you Jaden.”

 

Jaden smiled and walked off. Little did he know that Bastila was following him.

Stay tuned for Chapter VIII The Final Battle

[LordRevan123]

Nice chapter! Are you going to kill Mira of?

[Jason Skywalker]

Really good one, pity that the fic is almost ending.

[Diego Varen]

Really good one, pity that the fic is almost ending.

 

Don't worry, I shall make the end better than The Sith Lord. I have it all planned out and I'm writing it out now. I don't want to spoil anything, but three people will die in this final Chapter. I won't reveal who and I don't want anyone guessing as it may wreck the Fic for others. It maybe a bit too obvious though.

[Jason Skywalker]

Ok Pottsie. Can we guess in spoiler tags?

[Diego Varen]

Ok Pottsie. Can we guess in spoiler tags?

 

I would let you, but I want to keep this secret until the end. Don't worry, I won't abandon this Fic, so near the end.

[LordRevan123]

Well, at least the ending will be better than The Sith Lords. I am so mad because KOTOR II will probably be on xbox 360!

[Diego Varen]

Well, at least the ending will be better than The Sith Lords. I am so mad because KOTOR II will probably be on xbox 360!

 

KOTOR III, LordRevan123. I hope it is on PC, because I don't have an Xbox, but I hope it would be on PS2, because then I wouldn't have to worry about requirements to have on the PC. The last Chapter shall be posted as soon as possible.

[JediMaster12]

Sweet chapter. I look forward to the last battle. Perhaps before you post I can beta read it for you and help in terms of description. Up to you however.

[Diego Varen]

Sweet chapter. I look forward to the last battle. Perhaps before you post I can beta read it for you and help in terms of description. Up to you however.

 

Sure. You've been one of my greatest advisors over Fanfics. The others have been Jae Onasi and RC.

[Diego Varen]

Actually JM12, I've declined your offer. Feel free to say whatever here though. All the electronics, shut itself down for no reason and then came back on again. Anyway here is the next Chapter.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter VII

The Final Battle

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Jaden sat at the cockpit of the Ebon Hawk. So many thoughts plagued his mind. Thoughts about his friends, thoughts about his past and thoughts about his future. All of these three things would affect his future. He knew this was true.

 

“Jaden.” A voice called.

 

Jaden stopped to listen to the voice.

 

“Who’s there?” He asked.

 

“Bastila Shan,” She told Jaden, entering the cockpit, “Do you remember me?”

 

Jaden thought for a moment and he suddenly remembered her from when he was training as a Jedi, almost ten years ago. He had practised duelling with her and he had even helped her on missions.

 

“Yeah I remember you,” Jaden asked, “What are you doing here?”

 

“I needed to speak to you.” She told him.

 

“Why didn’t you say back on Telos?” Jaden asked.

 

“I would, but you were busy at the time,” Bastila told him, “Listen, I wish to join you and Revan.”

 

“Bastila you can’t,” Jaden told her, “The Jedi Order needs to be rebuilt and I seriously doubt my friends efforts to do it on their own.”

 

Bastila put her hand on Jaden’s shoulder, comforting him.

 

“They’ll be fine,” Bastila told Jaden, “Now where are we going?”

 

Jaden returned to the controls of the Ebon Hawk and looked at their current location. They had just passed Dantooine.

 

“We’re on our way to an old mining facility, just on the edge of the Unknown Regions.” Jaden told her.

 

Suddenly a blaster shot hit the Ebon Hawk, causing it to rock slightly. It reminded Jaden of the last time he and his friends had been shot down.

 

“What was that?” Bastila asked.

 

Jaden looked out of the window. A Republic fighter was attacking them. But how? Why would someone from the Republic attack Jaden? Jaden knew this wasn’t right. He sped off, hoping to avoid the fighter.

 

*****

Mira walked into the detention centre of Station 5. This was were the Bounty was. She wondered who the Bounty was on. It must be someone who could hide well. Mira had her hands on her pistols, being aware of the environment around her. She had left her Lightsabers back on the Ebon Hawk, for she could never trust them. A good pistol was a lot better than a glowing stick to her. Mira could feel heavy breathing on the back of the neck. She immediately turned around to see her worst nightmare.

 

“Hanharr!” She shouted, “What are you doing here?”

 

Hanharr growled at her.

 

“I’m the Bounty?” She asked, “No, this isn’t right, you’re the…”

 

Hanharr growled at her again, telling her that this time he would win against her in the duel that he should’ve won on Nar Shaddaa.

 

“Bring it on!” Mira shouted, getting out her two pistols.

 

*****

“Do you think we’re alright?” Bastila asked.

 

“I think so,” Jaden told her, hoping that nobody else would attack them, “Let’s get to that mining facility.”

 

Jaden drove the Ebon Hawk forward, hoping to save Mira’s life.

 

*****

Hanharr got out his two vibroblades and ran towards Mira. Mira did the same, shooting Hanharr, but he seemed to endure all the incoming shots. Hanharr sliced through Mira, injuring her badly. Mira fell to the floor, shouting in pain. Hanharr silenced her by stabbing both his vibroblades through her heart. Hanharr roared out victory and pulled his vibroblades out of Mira.

 

“You are one sick twisted Wookiee.” A voice said.

 

Hanharr turned behind him to see a hooded figure. It looked like a Jedi. This must be the Exile, Hanharr thought angrily.

 

“I’m sorry were you expecting someone?” The man asked, taking off his hood, “By the anger I sense in you, I think you were expecting someone, a little younger.”

 

Hanharr started to feel angry and he growled at the man, asking him who he was.

 

“Who am I?” The man asked, “Surely you must have heard of me. I’m Revan.”

 

Suddenly he ignited his blue Lightsaber and threw it straight into Hanharr’s heart. Hanharr roared in agony and fell to the floor, landing next to Mira. Revan used the Force to pull his Lightsaber out of Hanharr’s body. He put his Lightsaber away.

 

“Well done Lord Revan,” A voice said, “You’re as ruthless as always and you’ve just removed a very big problem for me. Now I won’t have a moving carpet following me for the rest of my life.”

 

Revan turned around to see a man with short dark brown hair.

 

“You were using this Wookiee?” Revan asked angrily, “Wookiees are people too!”

 

“Ah, this Wookiee, known as Hanharr was born to kill,” The man told Revan, “And die too. My name is Zor Krel. I once served under you during the Mandalorian Wars.”

 

“I can’t say I remember you.” Revan told him.

 

“Don’t think too hard my lord,” Zor told him, “I shall make your death quick and painless.”

 

Revan reached for his Lightsaber and ignited it.

 

“Not if I have anything to say about it.” Revan told him.

 

Zor ignited his Lightsaber and ran towards Revan.

 

*****

The Ebon Hawk landed in Station 5. Jaden prepared to leave the Ebon Hawk.

 

“Jaden, you can’t possibly go by yourself.” Bastila told him.

 

“Trust me, I’ve done worse,” Jaden told him, “Wait here.”

 

Jaden walked off, hoping to save Mira and find Revan.

 

*****

Revan and Zor had been fighting for five mintutes. Revan immediately blocked Zor’s strike and Revan used his strength to force Zor to the floor. Revan smiled and tried to stab him, but Zor rolled over to the side, causing Revan to fall over. Zor saw this as his chance to injure Revan and he slashed at his body, then he slashed at his arm. Revan shouted out in pain. Zor smiled to himself and he circled around the wounded Revan. He circled around him at a slow speed, like a Kath Hound when it has found it’s prey. This was were Revan would die, a most painful death. The bloodshed tonight would be the living Force that Zor would feed on.

 

“Say goodbye to your life, Lord Revan, my old friend.” Zor told Revan, preparing to bring his Lightsaber onto Revan.

 

“Zor!” A familiar voice shouted.

 

Zor immediately turned around to see Jaden.

 

“What are you doing here?” Zor asked angrily.

 

“I’m here to stop you from killing Revan,” Jaden told him, ignited his Lightsaber, “I knew there was something strange about you when you joined me, but I didn’t bother thinking about it.”

 

“It’s a good thing you didn’t,” Zor told Jaden, “Otherwise you would’ve figured it out.”

 

“What out?” Jaden asked, “Wait a minute, you shot my ship down the first time on Korriban and you were shooting at my ship awhile ago.”

 

“Well done Jaden,” Zor told him, “You’ve finally figured it out. I used you. I’m a Sith. And I’m now the greatest Sith in the Galaxy.”

 

“Not if I can help it Zor!” Revan shouted, then he looked at Jaden, “Take this Lightsaber friend!”

 

He used the Force to guide his Lightsaber to Jaden and Jaden grabbed it. He used both Lightsabers to attack Zor. Zor was very good defensively. He could see things before they happened. That would work to his advantage. Jaden knew that he would slip up though. Both Jedi and Sith weren’t that great. Zor immediately used his Lightsaber to destroy Jaden’s Lightsaber. This left him with Revan’s. Jaden blocked all of Zor’s incoming hits, focusing on his next move. Jaden brought his Lightsaber down onto Zor’s, hoping to force it out of his hand, but Zor had a strong grip. Zor then kicked Jaden in the crotch and cut off his arm. Zor then used the Force to push Jaden backwards. He landed on Revan.

 

“Prepare to say goodbye Revan, Jaden,” Zor told them, “I shall feed on the Force gladly tonight.”

 

But before he could do anything, both Revan and Jaden could see a Lightsaber stuck through his body. Zor didn’t say anything. He just looked at his body to see the tip of a yellow Lightsaber sticking through him. He turned around. Revan and Jaden noticed that Bastila was there. She pulled her Lightsaber back to her. It was a Double-Bladed Lightsaber. Zor yelled out in pain and fell backwards, falling into the bottomless pit below.

 

Bastila ran towards Revan and Jaden and helped them up.

 

“Thanks for saving us Bastila.” Jaden told her.

 

“Bastila, it is so good to see you again,” Revan told Bastila, kissing her, “But what are you doing here?”

 

“I want to help you,” Bastila told him, “You and Jaden.”

 

“You can’t Bastila,” Revan told her, “You must help rebuild the Jedi Order.”

 

“Exactly what I told her.” Jaden commented.

 

“I’ve waited four years Revan,” Bastila told Revan, “I couldn’t wait anymore. I love you Revan.”

 

“I know you do,” Revan told her, tears falling from his eyes, “You must help Carth, help the Republic, rebuild the Jedi Order. Only you can do this. That is how you can help me, do you understand?”

 

Bastila nodded, tears were falling from her eyes, like Revan.

 

“I understand Revan,” She told Revan, “But let Jaden help you. He is strong with the Force and he once served you during the Mandalorian Wars. He has had the same visions as you had four years ago.”

 

“Okay Bastila,” Revan told her, “Listen, take the Ebon Hawk, I…”

 

“We.” Jaden interrupted.

 

“Okay, we won’t need the Ebon Hawk, I have a ship,” Revan continued, “When the time for war comes, you’ll know.”

 

Bastila nodded. She and Revan embraced in a long kiss.

 

“Goodbye Revan.” She whispered.

 

As soon as she disappeared, Revan spoke.

 

“Goodbye Bastila.”

 

Jaden comforted Revan.

 

“I’m not usually one for romantic goodbyes, so that was good,” Jaden commented, “Come on, we better leave this place.”

 

Before Jaden was about to leave with Revan, he picked up Mira’s body and carried it to Revan’s old, but comfortable ship.

 

“We’ll find a nice place to give her a funeral.” Jaden told Revan.

 

“I know,” Revan told him, “I miss Bastila.”

 

“I know you do,” Jaden told him, “I miss all my friends, just like you do. This isn’t the time to be missing people. We must fight for the Galaxy.”

 

Revan smiled for the first time in years.

 

“You’re right,” He said, “We better do what the Force sent us to do.”

 

Revan went over to his ship’s controls and Jaden sat at the co-pilot’s seat.

 

The Galaxy was preparing for war. Darkness was rising.

The End

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[JediMaster12]

Nicely nicely well done. That intense moment before Zor trues to kill them and then Bastila comes to save the day. Nice touch. Mira I am still confused. If I remember correctly, Kreia says that she would die helping people and have no regrets. I was thinking in terms of a planet as only a Jedi would do. Anyway, good job and I see that you are submitting for the Archives. Great job.

[Diego Varen]

Thanks for the comments JediMaster12. Well Kreia's predictions can't always be true can they. They could veary. Like the weather for example.

 

This is my second piece in The Jedi Archives. The Heart Of The Guardian should be posted there too. Have you voted in the Entertainment Centre Awards 2006 yet or are you waiting for awhile?

[Jason Skywalker]

Good ending chapter. Sad to see Mira go away. Hope the T3 one is as good as this!

[Diego Varen]

Good ending chapter. Sad to see Mira go away. Hope the T3 one is as good as this!

 

Thanks, but I might change my mind about a T3 Fic. I might do the other one, because it hasn't been done or I might think up something else. Take a look at this in the Jedi Archives.

[Jae Onasi]

Pretty good fic, Pottsie. The only thing that jumped out at me was the continuity error--Jaden gets his arm cut off, but then he picks up Mira--he'd need 2 arms for that, even if she's really light. And they'd also want to get him to a hospital ASAP, despite lightsabers cauterizing wounds and stopping bleeding.

However, the fight scenes are exciting, and the reason for Zor's need to kill is very interesting.

 

You and stingerhs both have 2 fics there as of this posting time.

So we do . Anyway, I have a good excuse for the mistakes. It was late last night and there were small powercuts that made the Computer restart and I was in a hurry to finish this Fic off. If I have time to redo this, I will. Thanks Jae.

[LordRevan123]

Its a bit strange that Jaden is just like, "Oh we'll give Mira a good funeral." I would be crying buckets!!!

[Diego Varen]

Its a bit strange that Jaden is just like, "Oh we'll give Mira a good funeral." I would be crying buckets!!!

 

Jaden just didn't want to show how upset he would've been. Besides if Brianna had died, then he would crying in buckets.
