StarWars Old Republic: Scars Of War

Ievan woke up, after hours of being unconscious, puzzled about the events that occurred. He stood up in his seat only to find himselfs in handcuffs. He was confused, but the Weequay that captured him came in. He observed the Rakatan with his one eye without showing any type of emotions, "You are awake good, we are almost to our destination"

"Where are you taking me?" Ievan asked weakly, as he stood up.

Hanjin didn't say anything, he turned by the door. Before Ievan could ask again, he spoke, "My employer wants to meet you, I suggest you be on your best behavior" he then left the room, shutting the door.. Ievan sat down, recalling the events that transpired. He put his face down in shame. Ievan ran to avoid getting captured, now he gave himself up to save someone, which led him to be a prisoner of the Sith Empire. He laid back into his seat, waiting to arrive.

The ship that Hanjin and Ievan were flying in had arrived on the star destroyer that had belonged to Darth Scarus. He had landed in the hangar that was filled with dozens of Sith troopers standing in line, wearing their bright golden armor. Darth Scarus, and his apprentice Darth Rin walked forward, as the hanger door opened. Hanjin walked out bringing Ievan in front of him. Scarus observed the Rakatan, sensing the fear in him.

"As promised by Scarus, the Rakatan" Hanjin shoved him. Ievan looked down at the Sith, who still had his eyes on him. Rin dragged him up before her Master turned his eyes at the bounty hunter, "You did well Hanjin. Come bring the prisoner, and follow me" 

Hanjin didn't like this. He wanted his pay, but he did what he was told, pushing Ievan again. They followed the two Sith, as they entered a dark room.

"Its good to finally meet you scientist. I looked for you on Rakata Prime, but you had already fled" Scarus was talking, recalling the day he invaded the planet.

Ievan remembered that day. The Sith had arrived to slaughter his people, many Rakatans died, but Ievan fled, not wanting the enemy to get his plans. Many of his people died trying to get him off the world. When he was getting ready to leave the planet, he was devastated to see the destruction on the peaceful planet. Ievan looked back up at the Sith Master, "I remember you slaughtered all of them" 

"Did I now?" Scarus had let out a chuckle before turning on the lights. Rin said nothing, Hanjin looked around his surroundings, as well as Ievan who was speechless. He saw people in tubes, they were his people, they were Rakatan. He could barely let out a sentence, "My people, but how? I saw you executing them"

"Not all of them. When we couldn't find you I made the decision to spare some as a hostage. They will be released, but you need to corporate, and finish the work you promised my Master" 

Ievan looked at his people. There were at least a few dozen in a tube. He could see a mix of tribes with them being pulled out of their homes. Ievan didn't want to comply. He swore never to create this weapon. It would destroy worlds, with millions of people dying, however the fate of his people hung in the balance. He had to come up with something quick before the Sith lost their patience, "Even if I wanted to, I destroyed the plans, and even if I remembered it will take sometime to make" 

"You don't need to worry about that" Scarus took the scientist, and everyone else to the next room. Ievan was surprised, it was his super weapon. It had a gold color with a big round base. The long tip of it was sticking out, almost touching the wall in the room. Ievan turned to face the Sith Master, "How?" 

"How did I make this happen? Simply, we captured your science team, and they helped construct this. Rakatans are very smart, they remember almost all their projects, which is how I know you can finish this without any instructions" Scarus told him, as he observed the beauty of the weapon. 

"Where are they now?" Ievan asked about his team.

"Dead. I had my apprentice kill them all. More of your kind will die unless you do what I say" Scarus then started to demand.

Ievan looked at his options. He could either submit, and finish the project in exchange for his people, or they could die, and the Rakatans would be wiped out from history, and the Sith could force him to work on it anyways. He looked at Scarus, and lowered his head, "Alright I will do what you say just don't hurt them"

"Good, project eradicator only needs one more piece. The rare kyber crystal that Malak gave to you in his travels. Where is it? Don't lie because Rin will put a hole through your kind in that cage of theirs" 

Ievan sighed in defeat, "Kashyyyk I buried it on Kashyyyk" 

Scarus smirked, "Good, you will take us there" he turned his head towards his apprentice, "Rin go tell the Admiral to plot a course for Kashyyyk" Rin bowed her head, then left the room.

Hanjin went up to Scarus, "I would like my payment"

Scarus turned towards his guards, having them escort Ievan to a cell until they arrived on the planet of the Wookies. Hanjin walked over Scarus, who just glared at him, "I want my pay" 

"Of course you will, and you will get paid more if you stay with us until this projects completed"

Hanjin took the bag of credits promised by his employer. Without saying a word he left, leaving the Sith alone.

On the Ebon Hawk, Bastila spent her time in the training room to prepare for the Sith. She swung both sides of her shiny double yellow lightsaber in the air. Turning it around, she swung left, and then right. She swang up, then down. She did this on repeat, as a form of concentration. That concentration would lose itself when her eyes spotted Revan just standing by the door with his arms folded. Bastila turned off her lightsaber, already losing track of time since they left for space. She walked over to her lover, wondering what he was doing, "How long have you been standing there?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Long enough, I can sense your emotions from across the cockpit. Is everything okay?" he asked, sensing the tenseness in Bastila.

Bastila sighed before turning her gray eyes at his brown eyes, "Yeah I am fine, its just last time we went up against the Sith, I ended up becoming their servant" 

Revan put his arm on her shoulder, "It wasn't your fault, and besides you came back to the light"

"Because I had you" she gave him a slight smile. Revan smiled back, his eyes then fixed on her lightsaber, "New lightsaber?" he took it, observing the weapon of the Jedi. 

"Yeah, after the battle on the Starforge I decided to redesign it. You already know it took some time, but months after months it was difficult, but I finally was able to get my crystal back to its original color. After that I was able to forgive myself for my misdeeds"

Revan handed back her lightsaber, coming off, "You know what? Why don't we have a spare?"

Bastila smiled back, activating her double bladed lightsaber. Revan's lightsaber activated, showing off its blue light. The two circled each other, as they observed their movements, and surroundings. Revan's eyes looked down, then up with Bastila charging at him with the first strike. The bottom of her lightsaber touches Revan's, and they go at each other with great speed. The two had fought each other many times to know their own moves. Revan's used his form three to go on the defensive. It was easy for him to keep up with Bastila's swings becoming wider. The next attack was heavy for Revan, he struggled for sometime before he pushed back. He then turned into another defensive stance with form three. Bastila ran at him again, this time she kicked the lightsaber out of his hands after their next lightsaber lock. She pointed the tip of her blade at him. Revan smirked, dodging Bastila's swings. He used the force to attract back his lightsaber just in time to block Bastila's attack before using his strength to push her back. Revan then went for an offensive stance. He went into the final form of lightsaber combat, as his swings became more aggressive, and heavy. Bastila tried to keep up, but her lightsaber fell out of her hands, landing in Revan's. He pointed both blades at her. She looked at them, then him, causing both of them to smile. Revan deactivated hers, giving it back.

"You have become so strong" Bastila said, who was impressed by Revans skills. She then realized he was testing her before he went all out.

"You did too, I could tell you were focusing on your meditation. Your attacks seemed calmer. It was able to make your attacks sharp" Revan complimented her with his eyes locked on his again, and his back. The two leaned in closer, but that moment was soon interrupted when they heard a sound by the door. It was Carth pretending to give a cough to attract their attention, "Sorry to interpret, but found where the tracker is headed. You should come quick" the two Jedi looked at each other, then went to the control room.

Waiting for them were everyone else. Canderous looked like he healed, no longer wearing a cast for his arm. He stood next to Zaalbar, who was next to Mission. Carth stepped forward to turn on the map, "We have been tracking where I gave the device to Ievan, who is the Rakatan scientist we are looking for. According to this, the tracker is leading us towards the planet Kashyyyk" Zaalbar give an emotional growl, fearing for what the remnants could be doing to his people. He turned to Carth, telling him they have to do something.

"We will Zaalbar, but we need to rescue Ievan, and find out what the Sith are looking for" he then turned his head towards his astromech friend, "T3 how long will it take us to get to our destination?" 

The droid give him a beep. Carth looked at everyone else in the room, "He said a day, we will make it less. In the meantime the rest of us should get ready" 

After the meeting everyone went their own ways. Zaalbar felt anxious, and wanted to rip the Sith remnants from limb to limb. Mission took him to another room. Canderous went back to piloting the ship with T3 following. Canderous decided to practice targeting using his blaster, as he tries to slowly use his injured arm again. This left Bastila, and Revan alone. He turned to her, "Are you going to be alright going into battle with the Sith Empire again?"

"Of course, we need to stop them, but don't worry Revan, I will be fine. It will feel good bringing down the Sith again after trying to keep me to the darkside" 

Revan smiled, "Well then I guess we should continue are sparring"

Deep in space Scarus stood on the bridge, looking at the stars. Hanjin, and Darth Rin entered to join him. He had his eyes closed before opening it to turn towards them, "Welcome" 

"You called for us Master?" Rin asked him. 

"Thats right, I sense through the force Revan is coming. He, and his old team are coming for the Rakatan" he told his apprentice.

Rin was surprised, "How? The Jedi, and the Republic shouldn't know where we are going" 

"Its simple, someone placed a tracker on our friend" Scarus turned his gaze towards Hanjin. Rin looked at him like she wanted to kill him. He then went defensive, "I had no idea, it must have happened while I was evacurating him out of the premise" Hanjin saw Rin's hand close to her lightsaber. Hanjin was ready to reach for his, but Scarus immediately lifted his arm, ordering them to stand down, "Don't worry this is perfect. We will let them come, and when they do, we will destroy them. We will kill the traitors Revan, and Bastila, then will kill their crew" Scarus' frown suddenly turned into a sinister smile, as he was about to get his wish.
