Mandalore

Revan Watched As Bo-Katan Arrived and Said The Words. "I Trust You Remember Bo-Katan? You Met On Carlaac, You've Her To Thank For The Ending I Dumped Onto You, She's Been Helping Train My Elite Troops, and In Exchange For My Support, I've Promised To Induct Mandalore Into The Shan Empire, and Deal With Maul." Says Revan.

"So Here's How It's Gonna Work, Ahsoka Will Lead The Knights Of Ashla To Besiege Mandalore, Take Down Maul's Forces, and Lure Him Out So I Can Challenge Him To A Mandalorian Honor Duel. Meanwhile Skywalker and Kenobi Will Command My Fleet and Destroy Grievous and Dooku." Says Revan. "What If Maul Doesn't Take The Bait?" Asks Anakin. "He Won't Have Much Choice, If I Challenge Him and He Refuses, He'll Lose The Support Of The Mandalorians Serving Him, and If He Does and I Win, I Can Command The Mandalorians To Surrender." Says Revan. "Are You Certain?" Asks Windu. "He's Right, If Maul Is Challenged By Revan, A Man Descended From Mandalore The Preserver and The Man To Kill The Preserver's Predecessor, Only To Refuse, Then His Support Amongst The Mandalorians Will Evaporate. Maul Knows This." Says Bo-Katan. "Alright, We Know What We're Doing and Why We're Doing It, Let's Get Moving." Says Revan, As His Generals and Soldiers Leave.

Revan Can't Hide His Anxiety. "Your Nervous Aren't You? About Facing Maul?" Asks Ahsoka. "Yes, There's No Guarantee I Can Beat Him Ahsoka, We've Both Received Sith Training, But His Is More Refined and Vastly Outweighs My Own. I Don't Think Revan Shan The Jedi Can Beat Him, But I Think Revan Shan The Sith Acolyte Can." Says Revan. "Don't Talk Like That, If You Need Help, I'll Be Right There With You." Says Ahsoka As She Touches Revan's Cheek. Revan's Concerns Vanish At Ahsoka's Touch, and He Purposefully Presses His Cheek Against Her Palm. "I Love Riyo Ahsoka, But You'll Always Be The First Person I Open My Heart For, I Can't Imagine My Life Without You Any Longer, Promise Me That When The War Ends, You and I Can Retire In Peace To Live As Husband and Wife, Emperor and Empress In The Bastion Of Cooperation I Have Created?" Revan Asks Her, Tears Welling Up In His Eyes For The First Time In Years.

Revan's Heart Is Pounding, and Ahsoka Can Feel It As Her Own Meets His Hearts Thumping and Their **** Energies Connect, Becoming A Dyad In The ****. "I Will." Says Ahsoka, Giving Revan Permission To Kiss Her Ever So Deep and Passionate. A Clearing Of Throats Is Heard As Anakin, Trantos, and Gregor Look At The Reunited Couple Expectantly. "I Guess We'd Best Get Moving." Says Revan. "Yes, I Suppose We Should." Says Ahsoka.

Revan Sat Amids The Smoke and Rubble Of The Mandalorian Palace, Mandalorian Super Commandos and Nite Owl Loyalists Facing Off As They Waited For Maul. "I Am Here, Who Has Challenged Me?!" Demands Maul. "Darth Maul, I Am Revan Shan, My Ancestor Once Brought The Republic and The Jedi To It's Knees After Killing Mandalore The Ultimate, and Handing The Mask Of Mandalore To My Other Ancestor, Mandalore The Preserver, and I Challenge You As Jedi, Sith, and Mandalorian To Single-Combat For The Throne Of Mandalore, The Darksaber, and Everything Else!" Says Revan. "I Accept." Says Maul. "Good, This Will Be Held To The Ancient Traditions Of Our People, No ****-Powers, Moving Meditation and Crucitorn Are However Permitted." Says Revan. "Agreed." Says Maul. "Good, Then Let Us Begin." Says Revan As He Draws Both His Curved-Hilt Cross-Guard Sabers and Joins The Hilt's Into A Saberstaff.

Maul Ignites The Darksaber and His Own Sith Saber and They Two Stalk Each Other Before They Meet heir Blades, Revan's Sabers Have More Cutting Power and Emit A Crackling Shock Of Electricity Each Time He and Maul's Blades Meet. Revan Looks Around and Smiles Before Kneeing Maul's Gut and Bypassing His Defenses Through Trakata and Cutting One Of His Cybernetic Legs Off At The Knee As Maul Bends Over. Maul Hobbles, But Revan Doesn't Let Him Recover, He Spins His Saberstaff and Cuts Both Of Maul's Hands Off and Deactivates His Saber and Clips It To His Belt Before Grasping Maul's Weapons and Locking In A Head Scissor Lock With Maul's Neck. "I Yield, My Life Belongs To You, Master." Says Maul. "No, It Doesn't." Says Revan As He Cuts Off Maul's Head As His Body Slumps Lifelessly. "Bow To Mandalore The Eternal!" Revan Commands The Mandalorian Super Commando's, Who Bend Their Knees After Some Hesitation As Revan Holds His New Darksaber Up High.

Revan Had Put Almec To **** and Placed Bo-Katan As The New Mandalorian Regent In His Absence, While Gar Saxon and Rook Kast Led The Mandalorian Eternal Commandos Into Battle To End The Hostilities Of The War, Securing Fronts and Taking Valuable Hostages. Revan Would've Liked To Have Brought Admiral Trench Into The Fold, But Anakin's Execution Put An End To That, Leaving Revan Only A Handful Of Capable Commanders To Recruit From The Confederacy Who Could Measure Up To Trench, Albeit Only Just Barely. With The New Troops and Fleet's Under Revan Surging Through The Galaxy and Ending All Conflicts and Battlefronts, Revan Could Turn His Attentions To His Growing Empire Out In Wild Space.

Before He Did So However, He Made The Point Of Appointing Senator Amidala As His Successor As Chancellor and Passing A Bill To Grant The GFTA Total Oversight Over The Corporations That Supplied The Troops and Equipment To The Confederacy. Including Allowing Him To Annex Their Territories and Assets Into His Empire, Named The Empire Of The Shan Eternal. Revan Wanted A Separate Governing Body To The Senate But Allied To It and The Jedi Order. He Also Hoped His Allies In The Baron Do, Aing Tii Monks, Luka Sene, Matukai, and His Fellow Kashi Mer Guardians Of Breath Would Join The Knights Of Ashla. The Matukai and Luka Sene Could Become The Knights First Line Of Attack and Defense, While The Baron Do, Aing Tii, and Kashi Mer Guardians Could Form The Religious and Non-Combatant Form Of The Knights, But He Could Not and Would Not **** Them To Join, Though Admittedly He Was Still Embittered Against The Baron Do After They Had Him Arrested and Imprisoned On False Charges, Which Left Him **** To Extend Them Any Kind Of Peacemaker. The Baron Do For Their Part Had Tried To Make Amends With Revan, But He Didn't Want It, They Had Him Jailed Because They Bowed To Political Pressure, and Went Against The Will Of The ****, and Revan Trusted Them Less So Because Of That Over His Personal Enmity Towards Them.

Master Plo Koon, A Former Baron Do Sage Himself, Understood Revan's **** To Trust Those Who'd Chosen To Jail Him Instead Of Following The Will Of The ****. Plo Had Been The Only Kel'Dor To Stand Up For Him Both During His Brief Incarceration and Lengthy Escape. Revan Was Getting Overboard On Details Though, So He Turned His Attentions Onto The Holo-Feed In Front Of Him.
