I wrote a short fan fiction story which portrays my image of what hapened to Revan after the Foundry

encounter. I just refuse to believe that he died there. Tell me what you think about it, despite whetheryou consider it crap or decent. If you do like it, I have more chapters in store. Keep in mind that this

short fan fic is still very much work in progress... an early draft shall we say. Your constructive

criticism is very much welcome!

DISCLAIMER: Before you read this, I strongly suggest that you make sure you are familiar with

Revans tale - this short story is strongly linked with it (this includes: Revan novel by Drew Karpyshyn

and the following games created by BioWare studio: Knights of The Old Republic along with Star

Wars: The Old Republic).

May contain some spoilers!

All credit for creating characters present in the novel goes to Drew Karpyshyn, Chris Avallone and the

PROLOGUE

About 6 hours passed since four Republic heroes managed to free the jedi prisoner from the

Maelstorm Nebula prison jedi prisoner who can end this war and safe countless lives

- We are closing in on Tython. Estimated arrival in twenty minutes. - Said shuttles pilot through the

comlink.

Revan looked through the vehicles window and saw that they were about to enter the atmosphere

of nearby planet in the deep core - Tython. While Revan visited countless worlds in his life, he did not

previously had a chance to set foot on Tython. He wasnt even aware of the planets existence - or

rather considered it a myth. He only knew it by name - when he was studying the jedi archives as a

very young padawan, he managed to find certain old scripts that hinted on Tythons location. He

remembered that according to his sources, Tython was an ancient planet from which the original jedi

order originated. First force users and philosophers studied the mysteries of the force on this very

planet. Revan also remembered something about the Force Wars, one of the first conflicts between

the light and dark. He could not recall anything else - no wonder, after all well over three hundred

years passed since he was a curious, young padawan...

- We were given permission to land in the Jedi Temples hangar sir. Master Satele Shan just signaled

me that the welcoming party is already awaiting you. - Pilot contacted Revan once again.

Rain of memories stroke Revans mind as he heard well known surname - Shan. He began to wonder

if it was possible, that this jedi master was somehow related to Bastila - the love of his life. Over

three centuries ago Revan sacrificed everything in order to stop what he considered the greatest

threat to the Republic and all life in the galaxy. His sacrifice required him to leave his wife Bastila

Shan and their young child Vaner behind. He only saw his son once, on the holo recording given to

him just before he was betrayed, defeated and imprisoned. Before he had more time to ponder

about all this, ships doors started to pop wide open. After few seconds, when doors fully opened, he

saw four figures standing in front of the ship, about 30 meters away - three males and one female, all

in well familiar to him jedi robes.

He stepped forward and left shuttles ramp. All four jedi started to approach him and when they

were close enough for Revan to spot their facial features, jedi female spoke:

- Greetings master Revan. My name is Satele Shan, Grand Master of the Jedi Order. I believe we have

much to share and discuss - I am not even sure how it is possible that we are speaking right now,


5/26

given the fact that according to all our records related to your person, you are supposedly almost

three and a half hundred years old, meaning you should be long dead.

Revan was speechless after he saw Satele Shan, her resemblance to his wife was remarkable - she

had spoken in the same manner as her and looked just as Bastila. When Revan saw her and heard her

speaking, he felt as if he stood in front of Bastila herself. There was something special about her, she

had the same gift as her ancient female ancestor. Now he was certain that his earlier conclusions

about Sateles surname were correct.

- I I know how strange and hard it must be for you not only you but me personally as well. - Satele

broke the awkward silence.

- To answer your question in advance, I believe that you are indeed my ancestor. - She continued.

- One of my grandfathers was named Vaner Shan, still well known today by countless historians and

respected by many politicians - for them, he is an inspiration, an idol. He did many great things for his

people. He was a supreme chancellor of the Republic, one of the best it had - he died about two

hundred years ago. From what I managed to learn, he was master Bastila Shans son

- Thank you for telling me this, you have no idea how much more I want to hear about Vaner and

Bastila. It was the thoughts about them that kept me going when the Emperor ravaged my mind over

centuries. If it weren't for those thoughts, I fear I would succumb... to him. All that I wanted for Vaner

and Bastila was to be able to live peacefully and wait out the horrors of unavoidable war Still, I

believe that I owe you few explanations as well and time is of the essence given our situation, the war

that is about to wage and all the lives that are at stake. Peace is hanging in the balance and it will not

last long. I knew consequences of my sacrifice and I cant change the past whats done is done, I will

never meet neither Bastila nor Vaner again and nothing will bring them back. If we waste any time

now, my sacrifice will be for nothing - Revan interrupted.

- I was imprisoned by the Sith Emperor three centuries ago. - He continued:

- I learned a lot as his prisoner, centuries of knowledge. I will share everything I can with you and then

I will end this blasted war and the Sith Empire, forever.

CHAPTER 1

They walked through the temples halls and after few minutes approached massive doors leading to

the main chamber, which Revan assumed was the Jedi Councils meeting place. On their way, all

knights, padawans and masters alike looked over their shoulder - from what Satele told him, Revan


6/26

was considered as a hero and legend. Not what he would have wanted, given the things he did.

Unfortunately, part of tale that focused on his exploits and crimes was often forgotten by historians.

Long time ago during the Jedi Civil War and his reign as the Dark Lord of the Sith he nearly destroyed

the Republic and that nearly destroyed him. When the jedi returned him to the light, his memory was

shattered. It took him years to track and confront the Emperor again. He tried to end him, but he was

betrayed and defeated. His companions were murdered, and Revan locked away in stasis that kept

him alive for three centuries. For all this time, the Emperor tried to find out Revans secrets, buried

deep within his mind. When Revan was under the Emperors influence and became his pawn sent to

wound the Republic, he was tasked with uncovering artifacts of ancient race called Rakata over

twenty thousand years ago, Rakata were the race that controlled all known galaxy and formed the

Infinite Empire. All other races were their slaves, including infamous pureblood sith. At first, Emperor

underestimated the potential of Rakata technology and its weapons - they were powerful enough to

exterminate civilizations, including Republic or the Empire. He realized that with them, his plans

could be greatly accelerated. If one side of the conflict would manage to get its hands on the Rakata

technology, tide of this war would significantly turn in Vitiates favor. Who would win was in reality

of no importance nor significance to the Emperor. All that Vitiate cared about was the never ending

conflict and the bloodshed on massive scale that would put the galaxy in the endless darkness.

- The whole council gathered on my request, they are awaiting us inside. Master Oteg believed that

you could end war and safe countless lives, I hope he was right. He gave away his life to assure your

freedom. - Master Satele spoke.

- I am aware of the devastating casualties and all men lost for my freedom. I can promise you that I

will do all I can so that their sacrifice is not in vain. - Revan declared.

- I am sure you will, I can ask no more of you. - She answered.

Chambers doors opened and they approached other eight members of the council, all siting in one

of their circular shaped chairs. Satele and other remaining three masters took their seats while Revanstood in the middle of the room. He began to speak:

- Welcome masters, from what Satele told me you were brought up to speed and are all aware of

who I am. There is no time to waste so I will share everything I learned about the Emperor and the

Sith Emire and speak of what must be done in order to stop both.

- Three centuries ago, shortly after the Jedi Civil War I was still regaining my memories. - He

continued.

- I sensed that something threatened the Republic, I just did not knew what it was. I departed alone

into the Unknown Regions. After years of search, I managed to track the Sith Empire along with its

Emperor. I found out that his real name was Lord Vitiate. I began my search on the planet called

Nathema, originally known as Medriaas. The planet was stripped of all life and the force itself. And it

was like that for over a millennia. At the end of The Great Hyperspace War, Emperor, as a mere newly

appointed lord at the time, gathered together all other remaining Sith Lords and performed ritual

that exterminated all life on the planet and as a result made him immortal. I know its hard to

imagine or even comprehend - you would have to visit this world yourself in order to understand the

extent of damage the Emperor can inflict. His thirst for bloodshed and immortality does not end on


7/26

one planet though. He wants to do the same with whole life in the galaxy, starting with Republic. On

Nathema I was captured by two Sith but they did not work with the Emperor, in fact they plotted

against him. One of them was called Darth Nyriss, member of the dark council at the time. I was held

captive for years until I was freed by jedi called Meetra Surik, she was exiled by council long time ago,

during the Mandalorian Wars - I believe that she is the entity that contacted Master Oteg through

force in the first place. We made a mistake and allied ourselves with the other Sith that captured me

back on Nathema. His name was Lord Scourge

- Did you just say Lord Scourge? He is the Emperors Wrath or rather was - recently he allied himself

with Master Orgus Dins apprentice claiming that he wants to stop the Emperor and secure peace

between Republic and Empire. He proved his loyalty and as we speak is plotting to strike directly at

The Emperor on Dromund Kass - One of the masters interrupted Revan.

- You have to warn that jedi! Scourge cannot be trusted! - Revan shouted.

- We will do it immediately, it is possible that you just saved this jedis life. Thank you. - One of

masters stood up and ran out of chambers room. Revan continued:

- Scourge killed Meetra by stabbing her in the back and tides of duel turned against me. I did not

manage to defeat the Emperor and he imprisoned me, kept me alive with sith alchemy. Used me. He

saw an opportunity to gain advantage over the republic - he wanted to use me as his link to the light

side of the force. He wanted to know his enemys moves your moves. Through me, he saw visions.

But that same link also gave me influence. While he was scanning my mind, believing that link worked

only one way, I was in his mind to, fighting him. My attempt on killing him angered him and he felt

uncertain. I planted seeds of doubt in his mind. He was afraid that the Republic could prove to be

superior over the Empire and hence that his plans could not come to pass . He plotted and calculated

all possible scenarios that would help him accomplish his ultimate goal of wiping out entire life in the

galaxy. I bought the Republic time it needed to recover from its weakened state, after the Jedi Civil

War. For three centuries the Emperor waited, hoping that I would reveal the location of a place calledthe Foundry. In the wrong hands in the Emperors hands it would exterminate Republic and grant

him unconditional victory and control over the galaxy. Now that I am free, I will use the Foundry to

save the galaxy.

- What is this "Foundry"? Some kind of weapon?- Asked one of the masters.

- It is a massive battle station capable of producing infinite army, army of extremely efficient

assassination killer droids. The empire will stand no chance against it and will be completely

destroyed, along with the Emperor. He knows this thus we have to act fast before he has time to

interfere. He was most likely already informed by now that I managed to escape from the Maelstorm

and is already planning to recapture or eliminate me as we speak - Revan answered.

- Wait, I hope you are aware that the Empire is ran by fear and propaganda. Many of its citizens

would actually prefer to align themselves with the Republic. We just have to cripple Empire military -

with no military, Empire will have no choice but to surrender. - Satele interrupted, worried by Revans

usage of phrase: completely destroyed. She knew his troublesome past and while she wanted to

believe that darkness within him is completely gone, something inside her told her differently.


8/26

- I am aware of the Empires policies and this is far from true. The Empire would not achieve what it

did without fanatical devotion of its citizens. Long time ago, before I confronted the Emperor for the

first time, before the Jedi Civil War, I infiltrated Dromund Kass. I learned a lot about the Empire - while

I agree that slave races are innocents that can be saved, they only account for a small fraction of

imperial population. All sith have to be eliminated if we want to win this war and secure peace in the

galaxy. - Revan said, confronting Sateles concerns.

-Just just trust me and let me do what is necessary. - He finally added.

For few seconds, no one spoke a word - there was a complete silence inside council chamber. Satele

exchanged looks with the other masters and then after thinking about everything she heard, spoke:

- Very well, we will aid you however we can. Republic fleet and military will escort you to the Foundry

and secure it. I will also appoint Jedi Knights that will accompany you. - I just hope and pray to the

force that you are right about everything and that we are making correct choice by using the Foundry

- it seems that it is a same tool of destruction as the Star Forge. And we both know all too well,

especially you, that Star Forge did not bring any good to the Republic. Some weapons of mass

destruction are just not meant to be used, no matter how desperate the situation is.

- I fear that we will need all the help we can get if we want to defeat the Sith Empire. - Revan

answered. - If we will not seize this opportunity now, we may regret it later. I am certain that we are

making a right choice. There is no time to waste, tell the Republic fleet to set course under these

coordinates

***

CHAPTER 2

Republic fleet wasted no time and immediately gathered in order to prepare for securing the

Foundry. It would not last long before Imperial Intelligence would spot the Republic fleet's shift in its

movements. That is why almost the entire Republic army was mobilized - within few hours hundreds

of star destroyers, battle cruisers and other types of military ships gathered. After about eight hours,

the whole Republic armada was ready, awaiting orders. Revan was on Teloss bridge, accompanied

by republic command including the fleet admiral, along with jedi masters. Tensions were growing

high as the Republic fleet was preparing to jump into coordinates of the Foundrys location, given byRevan.

- Stand by. We are about to jump to lightspeed. - Said admiral standing next to Revan.

Few seconds passed and whole fleet changed its location within one moment. When they went out

of lightspeed, Revan instantly spotted asteroid of enormous size - but it was no ordinary asteroid.

Massive battle station was built into it, along with what looked like defense turrets of alien


9/26

technology. Suddenly, admirals holo communicator sounded twice. He answered it and small holo

figure said:

- We are receiving transmission coming from this place sir. Should I put it through?

- Do it! - Revan interrupted.

Figure on the hole hesitated.

- Do as the jedi says. - Admiral ordered.

Strange droid materialized before them on the holo communicator.

- Statement: I am HK-47, my masters most faithful ally. Once a mere assassin droid, it is now my

burden and joy to command the Foundrys mechanical armies. You are the first meatbags that visited

this place in last three hundred years. Turn back right now or you will be slaughtered.

- HK! - Revan shouted.

- Confusion: Oh, is that really you master? Either I am malfunctioning and I imagine in my core seeingyou alive or that is really you. If droids can feel joy, that is what I am feeling right now. - HK-47

answered when Revan shouted, immediately recognizing his master.

- How is this possible! What are you doing in the Foundry?! - Revan asked, fully taken by surprise.

- Clarification: I do not know if you know this, but for certain time I served this rather annoying friend

of yours called Meetra Surik. I helped her defeat few meatbags that considered themselves the Dark

Lords of the Sith, the Sith Triumvirate. While I enjoyed it, she had that strange moral compass, almost

the same as one you developed when we fought your apprentice, the original meatbag Malak. For

me, you always will be the only true Dark Lord of The Sith master.

- Later, I was exposed to rather traumatic experience. - HK continued. - Meetra placed me in the Jedi

Temple on Courscant - I believe she just wanted to get rid of me. I could not just leave you master - I

managed to escape and started to search for you in the deep space. I failed, and for that I am

ashamed and truly sorry master. I decided that the best course of action would be to secure this place

you once told me about - The Foundry. For three hundred years I was overlooking the Foundrys

production line and waited loyally, hoping you would return. And now finally you came back! Please

tell me you have someone you wish killed master! Your infinite army is awaiting your orders, steadily

growing in numbers.

- You have no idea how glad I am to see you HK, but I am afraid that those meatbags you killed were

not our true enemy. Real Sith Empire returned and it is now threatening very existence of Republic

and the whole galaxy. We have to stop it and I am in your need more than ever. I am about to board

The Foundry, than we will speak openly. Make sure your droids do no harm to any of our allies.

-As you wish master. I will do anything you command. Even if it means being *gulp* non-violent. -

HK-47 answered, with certain frustration in his voice.

***


10/26

Republic forces started to secure the Foundry. Troopers and Jedi alike inspected all droids present in

the foundry and started to search for any potential defense leaks that the ancient battle station

could have. Revan walked through the Foundrys halls looking at Rakata architecture. Alien advanced

technology always impressed and amazed him, awakening his thirst for knowledge. Revan

approached what looked like some sort of control room and saw HK turned away, working at certain

panel. After few moments he finally said:

- You waited loyally for three hundred years I am speechless. I do not know if you will like this, but

you probably saved countless lives by doing so. No, you saved the galaxy. Without you, Empire would

won war and Emperor would be free to do whatever he wanted. Now, we need to kill our enemies

all sith without any exceptions need to be killed. We need to do what no one else can.

- Observation: I believe this includes 99.7% of imperial population. Any organics with sith ancestry will

be slaughtered. - HK-47 stated.

- I know, I am afraid we have no choice. Initiate all droids HK. - Revan answered.

- Mockery: Oh, with pleasure master! I am looking forward to slaying our enemies planet by planet. -

Said HK-47, with joy overtaking him.

Suddenly, ancient alarms started to pop all over the complex. HK approached the control panel.

- Query: I believe that our enemies came to us by themselves. It seems that the Foundry was

infiltrated by one of those Republic ships you ordered me not to attack.

- Its impossible. We are on Republics side and they know it - we have their full support- Revan said.

- Disclosure: If that is the case, my theory is that the Republics defenses were somehow compromised

and our enemies used their ship to infiltrate this station. - HK concluded.

Revans comlink sounded. He answered it and Republic generals voice said:

- Sir! We were just attacked by whole Imperial fleet. We also believe that one of our ships was

captured shortly before the attack. It seems that the Empire strike squad used it to compromise your

defenses.

- Oh, incompetence of those meatbags is driving me crazy! - Said HK, while reloading his blaster rifle.

- Do not worry general. We will handle it. Order your ships to stay out of Imperial fleets range and

form defensive perimiter - just keep your distance from their ships. We will annihilate them with this

battle stations defenses. Revan out.

- Set the Foundry defenses to target and destroy all imperial ships. - Revan continued, speaking to HK.

-As you command Master. What about this sith meatbag strike squad? the droid asked.

- Ill leave them to you. Use all methods necessary to eliminate them. I need to sort my mind and

meditate, ask force for guidance - a lot has happened in those last few hours since I escaped The

Maelstorm. - Revan said, thinking about all events that recently occurred. He was still in shock after


11/26

three centuries long stasis and did not fully regained his senses and strength. The Emperor leeched on

his power and severely weakened him.

- Statement: I must say, I have missed the personal touch - their bones will make excellent trophies to

commenerate my return to assassination... I think that I even grew a bit rusty! Anyway, I recommend

you go to the inner sanctum - it seems that this place is somehow related to this thing called force

you like to talk about. From what I found out, twenty thousand years ago meatbag leaders that

created this place used the inner sanctum to observe whole battlefield and command their forces. -

HK said.

- Then Inner sanctum it is, but first I will go talk to our intruders. - Revan said, walking away.

***

CHAPTER 3

Revan was intrigued by invaders that infiltrated the Foundry. Empire sent barely four men to retake

whole battle station full of most efficient killer droids in the whole galaxy. They did not stand a

chance to succeed yet they were so determined to stop him. What surprised Revan even more was

the fact, that when he communicated with one of the four, this man wanted to negotiate and work

for peace. Revan did not knew if he truly meant it or if it was some dirty sith trick - he could not

afford to take any chances, stakes were too high. It did not mater- he thought, they were probably

already dead after HK thrown every resource at his disposal to get rid of them.

Revan was trying to sort his mind and analyze all recent events. He could still hear the Emperors

voice echoing in his mind, haunting him. He fought it for so long, he did not knew how much more he

would have managed to resist. It was a miracle that those Republic heroes managed to free him from

The Mealstorm Nebula prison. Now he saw images from just before his stasis T3-M4, little brave

astromech droid blown up, disintegrated by the Emperor - sacrificing himself in order to save his

master and friend. Loyal companion exploded into million pieces in front of Revan's eyes but not

before he unleashed his flamethrowher at the Emperor, making him lose concentration. If it were not

for Teethree, Revan would be long dead. T3 was more than a mere droid, some believed that

mechanic beings could form their own personalities if their memory core was not wiped for long

enough time. Revan knew it was true.

Another image appeared in his head out of nowhere. Meetra gasping, stabbed in the back by Scourge

her lifeless body slipping onto the floor. Revan would never forget what he felt that moment -

while he was wearing his mask at the time, horror was emanating from his face as he saw Scourge

deliver the killing blow. Seconds later, lightning bolts coming from the Emperors very hands stroke

at Revans face, melting his mask onto his flesh and scaring him for live. And then, nothing.


12/26

He felt sorrow - sorrow that over three hundred years transformed into anger and eventually hate.

He was betrayed and lost everyone he cared about. After that, Vitiate endlessly tormented him for

over three hundred years. Enough! - he thought. He needed to focus on present, not the past. How

come everything went so smoothly. He was one of the best tacticians and strategists during his time

and it just did not make any sense to him how could the Emperor let him be freed so easily after

everything he did, countless resources he spent on his best kept secret for centuries - mysterious jedi

master that no one but only a handful in the galaxy knew about.

Before he had more time to think, inner sanctums massive gates spread wide open. Four men

approached Revan with their weapons drawn, ready to be used. Their intentions were obvious they

wanted to kill Revan or stop him from activating the Foundry against the Empire. Either way, this he

could not allow.

***

- There was a time, a moment, when my destiny wasnt certain. That moment is gone! Ive saved the

Republic twice before, Ive fought Mandalores and armies of the Dark Side! You wont stop me!

Revan shouted, confronting the attackers.

***

They were to powerful.

Revan was exchanging hits with the best swordsman he ever fought - from what he managed to find

out about his enemy during their short conversation, he was a newly appointed Emperors Wrath.

What happened to Scourge? Did he truly betray the Emperor? Did he stroke Meetra out of his best

intensions? Revan threw his thoughts away, he needed to focus on the battle.

The Emperors Wrath used the aggressive Ataru form and overwhelmed Revan with his physical

strength. Few hits would prove lethal for Revan if he would not enter defensive Soresu form stance

just in time.

Just as he barely managed to parry his opponents strikes, force lightning almost burned him alive

in the last moment he moved his hand to stop dreadful attack coming from Darth Nox. While theEmperors Wrath constantly stroke at Revan with deadly series and sequences of close combat

attacks, Nox scanned Revans defensive form for any signs of weakness only to strike at the perfect

moment and deliver the killing blow with the use of force - he was a master of dark arts.

Ill show you the power of the force in balance! Revan focused and channeled force push to throw

his opponents into the abyss of the inner sanctum. They only tripped over and swiftly charged

towards him once more.


13/26

He was exhausted and wounded. He needed to grab the opportunity now or it would not be long

before the enemies he faced crushed him down.

He wanted to attack one of them while they were vulnerable but before he could enter more

aggressive Shien form, flames coming from the flame thrower that belonged to the Champion of the

Great Hunt, almost killed Revan, followed by sniper fire aimed with deadly precision that he

miraculously managed to dodge. Revan did not have time to absorb all the flames as they trapped

him in their cone - he could feel extreme, painful heat that formed burns on his left side. Imperial

agent shortly after firing from his rifle, threw a knife that struck Revan in his chest - red mark of

blood appeared on upper part of Revans robes.

Now Revan understood why Empire sent these barely four men to stop him. They were the

Emperors finest. Revan did not stand a chance against them, definitely not against all of them at

once together they were an unstoppable force. He knew he was about to die.

He saw face of Meetra again. She was crying. The moment he gazed at her, he realized something.

And then, he saw darkness taking him.

***

CHAPTER 4

-Awake

Revan heard a familiar whisper inside his head. He immediately spread his eyes wide open. He found

himself lying on hard rock. He could feel blood sipping from the end of his head. When he tried to

move his hand to stop the bleeding, he felt strong pain in his ribs they were probably broken. He

softly screamed after sensing agonizing pain in all bones of his chest. He realized that his wounds

were very serious and that he would remain immobilized for some time. He focused and started to

gather force to aid him and give him the strength he needed. He could feel the healing process taking

its shape, but it would still take some time until he would be able to move by himself again.

After reawakening shock, Revan tried to figure out how he got where he was right now in the first

place. Blurry images started to pop out in his head. Last thing he remembered was confronting Sith

Empire strike squad that consisted of four men Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Imperial Agent and

Bounty Hunter. Everything happened so swiftly since he was released from his three centuries long

imprisonment that he needed to slowly sort things out in his head. Fortunately, feeling of massive

amounts of information overflowing his mind was all too familiar to him.

Suddenly, Revan heard the well-known whisper once more. After few split seconds passed, Jedi

Entity force ghost materialized before him. It was hard to spot it, impossible for non force user.

Communicating with force ghost required extreme focus and mastery of the force. Force ghost


14/26

represented a young, beautiful and tall woman with moderate blond hair Meetra Surik, history

remembered her as the Exile.

- I feared that you would be devastated after the Emperor ravaged your mind over centuries. Still, I

hoped you could fully resist his influence and stop him. I was wrong, forgive me. You always walked

on the edge of light and dark. I should have seen that his corruption pushed you over in the grim

direction...

- I did resist him and I gave him nothing. I am proof that the dark side can be resisted. I would stop

him if it were not for those blind pawns sent to the Foundry to stop me! Revan shouted, with anger

overtaking him.

- But at what cost? Listen to yourself. You should be thankful to those heroes, if they did not stop you,

you would do something that would completely destroy you, devastate who you are and who you

were. You would not become any better than the Emperor himself. Wiping out entire species? We are

talking about genocide! Think of all the innocents that you wanted to kill. I have not wanted you stop

the Emperor by making the same mistakes as during the Mandalorian wars!

- Everything that the Emperor built must be destroyed! I was doing this to save lives, not for thirst for

immortality and bloodshed like him. I would mourn for the dead and do what I must

And suddenly something stroke Revan. He understood what Meetra was trying to say to him all this

time. He remembered his last words before he regained his conscious: In the end, as the darkness

takes me I am nothing. Now I know how you felt, my friend. He considered the ones who stopped

him as the blind pawns who followed mindless path of nothing but darkness and evil. Now he knew,

that he was the one who became pawn and lost his way. It became clear to him just as he was about

to fall he realized that the same darkness that controlled his old friend Alek, or rather Darth Malak

during his demise so long ago, now took control over himself once again. He was possessed by it

already once, before jedi destroyed and rebuilt him and before his redemption as a prodigal knight.Savior, conqueror, hero, villain he was all those things over and over. He was dead and reborn,

again and again. As a jedi, then as a sith - he had more lifetimes than he have wished for.

- I am I dont know what to say. I am sorry... Impact that the Emperor had on me is far greater than

I thought. Now I can see that. - Revan muttered.

- That is why I helped you when you were about to die and saved you. While you were close to doing

exactly what the Emperor wanted you to do, you found your way. You still have part to play as the

savior. Without you, the Emperor cannot be stopped and the galaxy will suffer forever. Force always

strives for balance, it is inevitable that the champions of light will emerge to defeat being of such a

darkness as the Emperor. You are one of those champions and you need to make the first move once

again. Meetra declared .

- But how am I to stop him? We tried it before and you know all too well how it ended. I was we

were betrayed one time to many. Revan said to the Exile.

- Wiping out Sith Empire is not the way. If we do this, we will make same mistake as our ancestors,

one and half thousands years ago during the Great Hyperspace War. The cycle will begin again,

consuming galaxy in the unending conflict and endless war. Think of the heroes that stopped you


15/26

they are the key. Republic cannot stop the Emperor by fighting his Empire. Its wrong approach that

will always end with failure. We need to turn the Empire against the Emperor despite what some

may think, there are many within the sith ranks that follow the light path you met some of them

already as they prevented you from completing the Emperors plans. She explained.

- Why do you think emperor released you in the first place? She continued - He knew he would not

be able to break your will completely. He lost his patience and was desperate. He made you think

you resisted him and allowed your escape thus staging it. You would lead him straightly to the

foundry and at the same time use it to fulfill the first part of his plan - of wiping out entire life in the

galaxy. He needs to sacrifice trillions in order to fuel the ancient ritual of sith sorcery that will... that

will consume this entire galaxy and make him godlike. He wants to remake this galaxy from its ashes,

in his own vision.

Revan wrapped hands around his head. He was slowly analyzing in his mind everything Meetra said

to him. The Emperor manipulated him all this time and he did not even thought about it. How blind

he was.

- Dont be so hard on yourself. Its a miracle that you resisted him for so long in the first place. Theimportant thing is that you are yourself again. Alas, if it were not for you the Sith Empire would

have waged war on the Republic hundreds of years earlier. You tempered the Emperors hate while

both of your minds were linked together, convinced him that peace was in his best interest.

- How how is that possible that I am still alive? How did you manage to save me from this certain

death in the Foundry? Revan asked, still confused how he ended up where he was standing right

now.

- I was once told: Looking at Revan was like staring into the heart of the force. You saved yourself - I

only helped you realize you still had important part to play. It was neither the time nor the place. It

was not your destiny to die there.

Now Revan remembered exactly what happened. When he saw darkness overtaking him and realized

his flaws with Jedi Exiles force ghost guidance and help, he bend space and instantly teleported

himself with the use of force. Fold space or rather force teleport was very rare ability known by few,

but because of Revans thirst for knowledge, there were not many things he did not knew about the

force and its uses.

- My role in this world is over. I can help you no longer, now you must walk your own path. Always

remember who you are.

Faint figure of Meetra disappeared from Revans sight as she finally became one with the force. Or so

he hoped. She went through so much suffered more than enough He thought.

- Thank you again my old friend. I will not make the same mistake twice. I will not fail you again...

He stood up after realizing that his wounds were almost fully healed by now. Revan knew what he

needed to do he had to retake the Foundry and destroy it in order to prevent the Emperors plans.

It did not matter in which hands it would end up either way it would only bring death and

destruction, as it was the same creation of darkness as the Star Forge. And in doing so, the Emperor's


16/26

ritual would be fueled thus completing his ultimate goal. Still, he knew he needed allies in order to

save the galaxy. He had to make contact with both champions of the Republic who freed him from

his prison and champions of Sith Empire that released him from the Emperors chains and showed

him clarity along with another path.

He moved up his head and looked upon stars of Lehon, then shouted:

- I am Revan reborn, man no longer under your influence. I followed the path of both dark and light

and embraced their power. I was sith but right now, I am jedi. Before me you are nothing and I will

stop you we, the galaxy, the force will stop you this I swear.

He had to find a way to somehow get out of this cursed world. Third times the charm. He thought.

Ironically enough, it wasnt the first time he attempted to escape Lehon. Fold Space is an extremely

dangerous force technique that was firstly practiced and mastered by the rakata force sensitives.

Rediscovered later on by the jedi, it turned countless young, curious padawans that attempted it into

nothing more than ashes. Some old, far more experienced and powerful jedi masters attempted it as

well but met the same fate as all their predecessors. That is why the jedi council forbid its usage long

before Revan was even born. Yet, he managed to learn about it shortly before the MandalorianWars, when his transition to the dark side had already begun. He always strived for perfection and

constantly carved for more power when he was young something that his masters should have

consider as a warning. Instead they dismissed it and later on - paid the price.

When he used Fold Space for the first time, he managed to teleport himself from the temples

courtyard to the lower levels of Coruscant slums. The same moment that he lifted himself up,

electrical energy of the force surrounded him and sent his body into agonizing spasms. He thought he

was dying and that his body would turn into smoldering corpse the next second. On the contrary, no

such thing occurred. He continued to practice and over time could use it to travel extremely long

distances in impossible intervals of time. Still, he never thought that it was possible to use Fold Space

for interstellar travel, in order to be able travel from one planet to another. And yet it was, he beingthe proof of it. But why Lehon ended up as his Fold Spaces destination it could have been any

other planet. That, he did not knew.

***

CHAPTER 5

Everyone thought he was dead. With the Foundry captured by the Empire and republic fleet

annihilated, many lost hope. It seemed that jedi were already losing the war. When Revan was freed

and the Foundry claimed, defenders of republic - both soldiers and jedi, started to regain courage

and hope for victory. Later, that hope was crushed. Many feared what Emperor was planning to do

with his newly gained Infinite Army.


17/26

Fortunately the Republic managed to liberate Corelia from the Empire's regime. Corelia was more

than a mere planet though, it was a symbol - beacon of hope. Core world that was one of the

Republic's very first founding members. Shortly after victory on Corelia, even heavier blow was dealt

to the sith - the Emperor was dead, killed by lone jedi knight sent to defeat him. Or so everyone had

thought.

On top of that, civil war broke out. Darth Malgus The Betrayer, member of the Dark Council rebelled

against rule of the Emperor and declared himself as a leader of a new empire to the empires public

on the holonet. He claimed the Foundry and stealth armada obtained by the Empire during the battle

of Ilum. He wanted to strengthen the Empire by alien alliances and temper it by tolerance. Frankly,

he did not realize that in the process he would give Republic the time it needed to heal. Treason,

mistrust, inner conflict and constant rivalry for power- such was a way of the dark side.

Revan heard about all this very recently. If it were not for the Empires civil war, he feared what

would have happened to the Republic. With stealth armada and the Foundry, united empire would

be unbeatable and Coruscant probably obliterated and held hostage by now, even with the Emperor

dead. But it seemed that he in fact was far from dead. Vitiate somehow managed to survive his

encounter with the jedi knight. His body was stored to safety by the imperial guard. He was

progressively regaining his strength, steeping in hate more than ever before.

While the Empire was busy fighting its civil war, Revan was planning and strategizing. Republic

despite its recent victories, was severely weakened and he needed to help it prepare. There was a lot

of work to do. The Emperor was still the biggest danger to every living being in the galaxy - he was

determined more than ever to complete his plan. Revan reminded himself of what Meetra told him -

Sith Empire was not the real threat. He needed to defeat the Emperor, but fighting his Empire was

not the way. War was serving as a mere distraction to the Emperors ultimate goal. But how can I

possibly get to the Emperor without waging war against the Empire?- he asked himself.

Revan wanted to minimize casualties on both sides. The more lives were lost, more powerful theEmperor was becoming - he was feeding on suffering and death of others, slowly sustaining his ritual.

Revan needed to find out a way to hunt down the Emperor before it was too late...

He was about to meet with the jedi that very recently confronted the Sith Emperor and managed to

severely weaken, almost kill him. When he heard about this knight, he immediately contacted him

via distress call. Revan needed allies if he wanted to kill Vitiate and this man was more than he could

have wished for.

Hooded man of moderate height entered the room. He was accompanied by someone Revan knew

all too well

Lord Scourge. Revan could not stand being with him in the same room. Killer of his most trusted ally,

and best friend. He did not even think before acting upon his emotions.

Before anyone could say anything, Revan lightened the hilt of his saber. Purple glow illuminated dark

room as he leaped towards Scourge. In his defense, sith lord quickly grabbed his lightsabers hilt and

then entered defensive form III - red and purple laser beams crossed.


18/26

- Stop this madness! Both of you! Cant you see that while we are fighting, the Emperor is growing in

strength! Revan, you are fighting wrong enemy! - Jedi shouted, using force to push away both Revan

and Scourge.

- Do you know who this is?! He killed hundreds if not more in the Emperors name! No matter what,

we cant trust this man! By doing so, I would fall in disgrace and desecrate the memory of a great

jedi. Revan said, moving his hand to choke Scourge.

- We share same goals Revan. *hrgh* When I saw vision of our burned corpses lying dead at the

Emperors feet I did not have a choice! I needed to sacrifice you and Surik if we ever wanted to stop

this madmans plans! You know this! I did what was right, what had to be done! Of all the people you

should understand that! Gasped Scourge, holding his throat.

- You could not know what would have happened. I told you those visions could be altered, they were

far from certain! Space and time are forever in motion! Revan said, even more strongly pressing on

Scourge.

- When we faced him *argh* I saw countless visions thousands of different possible endings. But

not even one portrayed our triumph over the Emperor... We did not stand a chance back then! -

Scourge answered, barely breathing.

Revan let go of his hatred, reminding himself of Meetras words. Scourge fell to the ground, rapidly

catching his breath.

- I know that cooperation with Scourge will not be easy for you, it took time before I could trust him

myself - Knight continued:

- but if we want to even hope to have a slim chance of stopping the Emperor, we need all the allies

we can get. I faced him, I faced the Emperor severely weakened. Even so vulnerable, he proofed to be

extremely dangerous and powerful. His life spans millennia, legions have risen to face him he is athreat to every living being in this galaxy. He wants to be the Emperor of nothing. I hoped that I could

defeat him, but I did not kill him despite my best efforts. I only managed to wound his body. His

essence lives on and from what we managed to learn, he is regaining his strength. Only this time, he

will unleash his full power and wrath Scourge felt it. And if he succeeds, the end will come,

consuming everything. The endless darkness shall consume all that there is and that we hold dear

that we love.

-All that I held dear and that I loved I lost long ago - Revan said while looking directly into Scourges

eyes.

- Do you have any idea how we will stop him? Any plan? He then asked after a short pause.

- I did not understand his true power when I faced him, but now I do. He is more than a formidable

opponent. We have no idea where his true body is. As far as we are concerned, it could be somewhere

on the farthest reaches of another galaxy! Jedi knight declared.

- I swore an oath, a solemn vow - that I would remain until I was utterly certain that the Emperor was

dead. It is impossible for him and this galaxy to coexist. It's either the Emperor or us - he will not stop

until every living being is tranquilized. I sought more knowledge about him after he was defeated, just


19/26

in case - to make sure he would not return. I found clues - countless hints about his true form and its

location. Emperor may be immortal but everyone got weaknesses even him. No one is invincible. -

Scourge answered, taking out what looked like an ancient sith holocron.

- She is called: The Entity - He continued.

***

CHAPTER 6

When Scourge was serving as the Emperors Wrath for three centuries, he learned a lot about his

master. Even more than Revan during his stasis. That is what he originally planned when he sworn his

service to Vitiate he wanted to study him, learn as much about him as he possibly could withoutraising any suspicion.

From certain holocron that seemed to belong to one of the Emperors past apprentices, he found out

about the existence of ancient sith entity made of nothing but pure dark side energy. She was

supposedly a love of the Emperor and his only weakness. She was also the same entity that was

imprisoned and used by Darth Baras. While being a centuries-dead sith, once upon a time she almost

annihilated the jedi order and held galaxy by its throat. Together with the Emperor, the entity

wanted to exterminate all life in the galaxy and eradicate the very force from existence. She hated it

more than anything, assuming that she still had an ability to feel at all. She used force as if it were a

poison and in hopes of understanding it, all she wanted was to learn the way of killing it.

Emperor did not like to expose his weaknesses thus access to the sith entity was nearly impossible

without necessary skill and knowledge. Fortunately thanks to Scourge, they knew the ritual and it's

summoning process.

Only, the question still remained: how could they use their knowledge about the entity to weaken

the Emperor and to find location of his true body. They were not even certain in what way the entity

was connected with Vitiate, but it was their only shot.

Suddenly, everyone could feel the unimaginable, pure dark side energy forming inside the chamber.

It was unbearable.

Scourge managed to unleash the power of the ancient device, at the same time breaking its powerful

enchantments. The holocron was constructed hundreds of years ago by a woman who called herself

Kreia. Revan did not even realize that once, long before the Mandalorian Wars and his initial fall - he

knew her, but only by a different name.

She was once a jedi but turned sith; to a dark lord, one that held the knowledge of betrayal. Who was

betrayed in their heart, and will betray in turn - but she cast aside that role just like Revan, once she


20/26

was was exiled and later on defeated at a place in the galaxy where the dark side of the Force runs

strong. She found a new purpose.

This place - it is something of the Sith, but it was fueled by war of the Republic. It corrupts all that

walks on its surfacedrowns them in the power of the dark side. It corrupts all life, and it feeds on

death.

When it came to ancient Sith rituals and magic, Scourge's knowledge was formidable some of his

former combatants very often mistaken him for nothing more than a brute and hence that was their

undoing. He learned much during his service to Vitiate - that is how he was able to summon the

Entity in the first place. He had a very unique perspective when it came to perceiving the force he

could very well be the only sith in last millennia that accepted the jedi as a teacher. Something that

many ignorant imbeciles would consider as a weakness he would as well at certain time, back when

he was still a young and foolish whelp. But Revan showed him otherwise, along with Meetra. No one

should be surprised by the fact that Revan eventually turned sith. He understood that in order to

defeat the darkness, one most understand it, embrace it and use it against his opponent. The Exile

was harder to read even with all she had done and accomplished, she never trusted herself. In the

end when she met Revan again she was his student once more. Scourge liked them. He would have

helped them but his vision showed him otherwise. He cast down the Exile and gave Revan to the

Emperor as a gift. Gaining the Emperors trust was the only way to stop him. While at the start he felt

no regret about his actions, now he could not help but to wish that things turned out differently.

She answered their call.

"Bound again. Freedom lost. By yet another defilers. Taken away from my true love."

- Brace yourselves! I managed to restrain the entity to our own will. I will inflict pain upon her untill

we will be told where the Emperor is. - Scourge told Revan and the jedi.

"No need. Come then. Tenebrae. My love. He awaits you. Nothing you can do now. You are too late."

The bond was weakening. Scourge felt that the entity was slowly vanishing into another realm. He

knew he did not have much time.

- Where is he?! Tell us now witch! No cryptic words, all that interests us are straight answers! -

Scourge shouted.

Seconds later, the holocron leaped on its own from Lord Scourge's hands, twirling and pulsing with

red, blinding glow. It fell to the ground, along with Scourge who lost his balance and swoon to the

floor the very moment that apparition disappeared.

Jedi knight quickly ran to his companion, helping him to stand up and raise to his feet:

- What just happened?! Are you all right? Jedi asked.

- The entity... she revealed to me many untold things. The existence of a planet long forgotten. There

is a world on the Outer Rim surrounded by 'mass shadows'. Past the graveyard of Mandalorian

warships, this planet constantly suffers, crushed in gravity's firm fist. To walk upon its surface is to

feel it crushing every cell of your body. It is like being buried alive underground until it seems you will


21/26

never breathe again. I just felt it for a mere moment... it was.. it was unbearable same feeling

accompanied me very long time ago when I lost the ability to perceive the physical world - when the

Emperor granted me immortality. - Scourge muttered.

- What manner of creature would have birthed such a thing? This planet. - Jedi asked.

- Nothing human, to be sure. Monstrosity. Abomination - Vitiate... - Revan interrupted.

- This world - it is thousands of years old. It is a place where Sith teachings run strong It is the

threshold of the borders of my Sith Empire. Entity claimed that it was a place of reflection for the

ancient Sith and for my past lord Emperor. - Scourge continued to describe what the entity showed

him.

- Malachor V... a gateway to their lands - lands of the sith... It drew me once before and its teachings

led me to the Sith the true Sith to your Empire and all of its shadowed worlds. This place led me to

the graveyards of Korriban and beyond. From there, the Emperor felt my presence. And he

summoned me. Now I remember. - Revan said, recalling the most bloodiest and crucial battle of the

Mandalorian Wars. Countless life were lost on this planet that day. He sacrificed them for the greater

good. Or so he would have thought - until now. In reality they only served one single purpose -

fueling the Emperor, sating his thirst for death. Now Revan understood everything. All galactic

conflicts that took place over the last one thousand and three hundred years were caused by one

being.

***

Revan spent last few days doing nothing but planning on how to defeat what he considered the

greatest threat that ever existed. His death is my responsibility. I will not fail. - He was repeating to

himself. The Emperor was death, for him, for everyone, for the galaxy. The final battle was coming,

battle that would decide upon the fate of this universe.

***

CHAPTER 7

It was here at Malachor V, where it all started - that it would also end. They were now standing at the

Trayus Core, the innermost sanctum of the Trayus Academy citadel.

It is ancient, a relic that survived for millennia, it even remained unharmed after the destruction of

Malachor. It was always here, far before the Mandalorian Wars. It draws death and hate to it,


22/26

channels it. Atrocities feed its power, and with its power, it creates hunger. Many, many Jedi have

been consumed by it.

The doors behind them closed in a wide, swift arc.

Emperor was about to face over dozen of galaxys greatest heroes. Amongst those heroes were now

his most trusted servants that turned their back on him. They also realized that the Emperor wasdanger to everything that ever existed. He had to be defeated. All he cared about was power and

immortality, ability to rule over others was of no significance to him. Sith wanted to live even more

than the jedi thus they united with their hated enemies and formed a temporary alliance in order to

fight a common foe.

The platform was extremely long. Deep within its very end there was a throne turned the other way

around. There were strange vessels placed around it that formed a circle. Lifeless bodies were

floating inside them each was connected to the throne itself.

"They came. They want to kill you. Eradicate them. Kill them all. Ravage their minds. Drain the very

essence out of them."

Whispers haunted everybodys heads. The throne turned itself the other way and pedestal had spun

around to face them. Figure in dark robes arose. It was so vastly influenced and corrupted by the

dark side that any face features it had just simply faded. It's face was hollow and without any

expression - that is what made it so terrifying. There was also something about its eyes that caused

chills to go down their spines, they were completely empty, same as his face and black. The

perfect being of void.

As the Emperor spoke, he started to approach the invaders.

- The circle closes. The end begins. You have wasted your energy killing the weak, my pawns sent to

weaken you. There are consequences. There is nothing you can do to stop me. You are all a blindinsects, contemplating the void of space. Your striving and effort is insignificant, meaningless let

your deaths be the same.

All the vessels exploded and bodies that were contained in them fell lifelessly onto the floor. Revan

could feel the screams of hundreds or even thousands, all force users in the room felt their endless

suffering as well. From nowhere, countless figures of the same void being that they recently faced,

materialized in front of them and attacked them.

Revan was first to struck one of the Emperors clones, but to his surprise, lightsaber did not even

damage it.

The entity laughed, along with the Emperor.

Clones constantly appeared from emptiness, overwhelming them. Each time they received a blow

that would be lethal to any mortal being, they vanished only to reappear again.

Darth Nox along with the Consular were using force abilities to shield their allies from deadly attacks.

The Emperors Wrath and the Jedi Knight leaped onto the swarm of clones and began to cut through

them like a blade through air.


23/26

They were progressing towards the Emperor. He was holding his hands with faint figure - the dark

side entity, completely ignoring the ongoing battle. She had blank eyes, as empty as the Emperor

himself and long, crystal hair.

"Soon my love. Soon there will be nothing left in this galaxy, only us."

- Beyond these stars exist other galaxies, other worlds, other beings. We will experience or ignorethem as we wish. We will spend eternity becoming everything: a farmers, an artists, a simple people.

We will experience every life that there is to live. And after eons of time, when the last living thing in

the universe finally dies, we will enjoy peace and wait for the cycle to begin again. Abeloth wishes so.

- Vitiate spoke.

- It started! He is performing the ritual that will consume all life in the galaxy! We have to stop him!

Scourge shouted, realizing what was going on.

And then, the force screamed. It was dying, life was slowly sipping away from the galaxy. And the

Emperor was steadily becoming more and more powerful, slowly turning into a godlike being.

Out of nowhere, another entity appeared. Only there was something different about it. Revan

immediately felt its presence and knew who she was.

Light illuminated from her and she started to channel the light side of the force against the dark side

entity.

- Its over. You must be stopped! I won't let you do this! Jedi entity shouted. Meetra Surik.

- Your spirit, as diseased as it is, refuses to allow you to give up, no matter what threats you face

exile. What is it you think you have accomplished? If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the

galaxy, you will only weaken yourself and weaken them. Voice of dark entity echoed through the

chamber.

- There is more death in this galaxy than you can imagine, we must strip all life away from it. We are

the only perfect beings, the beings that will keep on fulfilling the purpose of life. We are the legacy -

everyone else is weak and does not deserve to continue his unmeaningful, pathetic existence. Dark

side entity continued. - Can't you see, galaxy slowly devours everything around it by its endless,

unavoidable conflict. It is already dead, the question is how many it will kill before it falls. We will

bring peace to this universe.

Revan ignored all the clones around him and ran in the Emperors direction, charging directly at him.

His lightsaber met its target, going straight through the Emperors body.

Only the Emperor's power was now so vast that no mortal being in the galaxy could even hope tomatch it - his wound healed in seconds and was replaced by dark matter. He turned around and

faced Revan, moving his hands towards him.

Revan instantly attempted to shield his mind and subconscious against the Emperors influence he

had few tricks up his sleeve after their last two confrontations. Lord Vitiates eyes filled with a

swirling red mist. The Emperor gave glimpse of his true self to everyone present. They saw visions of

endless hunger and unspeakable horror of billions being eaten up alive. Dark side conjuring terrors


24/26

they did not even think of in their worst nightmares. There was nothing, only the total annihilation,

the unbearable void. All races extinct in matters of seconds. Heroes collapsed, shaking like children.

They cried out loud in anguish as the Emperors mind brushed against theirs, attempting to control

them and devour their very essence.

Lightning storm consumed the entire platform, burning everyone who was on it. They fell on to the

ground, struck by the Emperors enormous, unimaginable power. In few moments, everyone would

be dead.

They were vanquished.

And at this moment, the dark side entity looked at dying Revan. She saw a boy that she once trained

and treated him as her own son. She reminded herself of the moment when she found him in the

outer rim. Master Arren! she heared young Revans voice inside her head.Arren Kae, she had long

forgotten this name. She was a historian once, gathering the relics of the Jedi, learning the ancient

mysteries. Always, there were more questions.

- Is that really what you want Kreia?! He will kill him! Jedi exiles force ghost asked desperately. - I

know you! You do not hate the life, you hate the force! End this, it is still not too late!

She looked at the exile - Meetra was devastated by what she saw. The life in the galaxy was about to

fade away and there was nothing she could do. She herself was also greatly suffering, force was

being taken from her once again. Not only the beings that still lived would suffer because of the

Emperor - every living thing that ever existed in this universe became one with the force upon its

death. With the Emperor stripping force away from the galaxy, pain inflicted upon infinite amounts

of life was inapprehensible.

Surik looked back and saw tears falling from Kreias eyes.

You were right exile. It is such a quiet thing, to fall. You do not even realize when it happens.Perhaps in the end you were the one who was right all this time. It is I who needed help, not you.

The dark side entity moved towards the Emperor and channeled her full power against him.

The Emperor screamed. The only being he ever cared about just stabbed him in the back. For the first

time in his millennia long life, he felt the human emotion of... sadness. Sadness that was short-lived

and that turned into hatred - hatred for everything there is.

He was dying, the entity sacrificed her very essence to deliver the killing blow to the Emperor.

- My ascendance is inevitable, the day, a year, a millennium - it matters not. You can't kill me, I will

always be reborn. And when this happens, the galaxy will tremble before me once again. I hold thepatience of stone and the will of stars. Emperor spoke, with voice that sounded as if thousands

screamed at the same time.

-I cannot be contained! If I must die, I chose how. There is only revenge. Everything dies with me. You

shall all meet the same fate as me. - And then, he has fallen.

Something was not right. The Emperor seemed beaten and his body lifelessly fell, but for some

reason everyone could still feel as he was stealing life away from the galaxy.


25/26

- He is unleashing his full power against the entire galaxy! His essence cant be destroyed! We must

do something! Scourge panicked, realizing that there was nothing they could do.

There must always be Darth Traya and there must always be, The Emperor.

The weight of such a burden it must be mine. Revan did not even think a second longer. He stood

up and with all his remaining strength used an ability that he learned about when he was theEmperors prisoner for three hundred years.

He attempted to capture the Emperors soul. He opened up his mind and allowed himself to be

possessed.

For split seconds, there was a complete silence.

And then, his eyes turned black and were filled with nothing but an empty void. With last bits of his

unshakable, free will, he jumped into the abyss of Trayus Core.

His ultimate sacrifice just saved the entire galaxy.

And there, in the endless, never ending darkness he would combat the Emperor's influence. He did it

before, for three centuries. As long as he was strong enough to oppose him, the galaxy was safe. The

eternal struggle between lightness and darkness would continue.

THE END

***

EPILOGUE

He slowly grabbed his hand that lied few meters away from him, at the same time finishing his self-

repair sequence. Any other droid would have probably remained in laying position after being

disintegrated. Twice. HK was no ordinary droid though. He was surprisingly resilient for a machine,


26/26

and it was not his physical resilience that was remarkable. He remained undaunted when it came to

serving his original master and creator. Turning him into scrap of metal was not enough to take away

his undismayed resolve. He was a loyal beast that would stop at nothing to complete the ultimate

goal written into his memory core. Any obstacles that he would face were of no import if there

were any, they were easily overcame. Even when Arkus Wode rebuild him from almost a scratch, he

still could not change where HKs true loyalties lied. The infamous assassination droid could feel his

programming colliding with something that he could not explain. Something that should not be there

in the first place. Because of this something, he let himself be destroyed when he was serving the

Emperor Malgus. It was his plan all along and now was the time to initiate its final stage. The

complete and utter ANNIHILATION of the sith pureblood species.

In theory, droid should not remember any of its past after a memory wipe, much less stick to his old

programming. And most especially after being devastated - and yet, HK remembered everything.

Somehow all his memories were preserved and contained within him. He could not comprehended it

in any way - it was against all logic and ways of his programmings reasoning. Only explanation that

made sense was the soul part of organic body that was untraceable, yet that many meatbags

believed to be present in them. This soul always eluded him and was a cause for his countless

mockeries. And yet there he was, being a ironically living proof of the soul.
