Revan's Fall

Revan Stood Chained, A Violent Shock Hit His Back When He Slowed Or Strayed. His Body Was Unwashed, Unkempt, and Unshaven. The Jedi Threw Him Into The Proverbial Rancor Pit By Stripping Him Of His Rank, Lightsabers, and Knighthood. The Guards Locked Him In His Cell, and Left. Occasionally A Few Droids Came and Tortured Him, But Revan Ignored It, Instead, Enduring The Pain, Feeding Off It To Survive. The Trandoshan's Were Taking Their Time Cutting His Flesh With A Vibro-Blade On Medium Vibration, When The Doors Were Blown Open, Blaster Shots Riddled The Lizards, and The All Too Familiar Sound Of Metal On Metal Was Heard Throughout The **** Chamber, A Lightsabers Energy Was Heard Thrumming, and Revan Hazily Made Out A Crimson Hue To The Blade's Color. When The Last Lizard Stumbled In The Corner, Revan Snapped His Neck With A Slight Twitch Of His Wrist and Fingers. "Revan Shan, I Am Count Dooku, and I Believe We Can Help Each Other." Says The Public Face Of The Separatists Alliance. "I'm Listening." Revan Musters. "Let's Get You Cleaned Up First." Says Dooku As The Tactical Droid Manually Releases Revan From His Bonds. Revan Falls Limp To The Floor, His Body Immobile and Prone. "I Have Numerous Sedatives and Muscle Relaxants In My Blood Stream, Anything Below My Neck Is Limited To The Occasional Twitch." Says Revan.

Revan Was Bathed, Shaven, and Given A Week Long Soak In A Bacta Tank, Before Being Brought Before Count Dooku. "Thank You For Your Hospitality Count Dooku. Master Yoda Always Said That Though You May Have Fallen To The Dark Side, You Were Still A Man Of Decency." Says Revan. "It's The Least I Could Do For Such A Distinguished General and The Son Of The Confederacies Biggest Supplier Of Weapons." Says Dooku. "What Do You Want?" Revan Asks Bluntly. "I Sensed Your Resentment Across The Galaxy, I Felt The Dark Side Gnaw It's Way Into You, and I Watched You Kill One Of Your Captors In A Heavily Impaired and Sedated State. I Want You To Become One Of My Generals." Says Dooku. "I Want One Thing, Before I Agree." Says Revan. "Name It." Says Dooku. "I Want Ahsoka Tano, I Want Her Alive, Unharmed, and At My Side." Says Revan. "Survive My Training, and You Will Have Her." Says Dooku, As A Tactical Droid Steps Forward. "My Lord, Forgive This Interruption, But The Confederacy Senate Requests Your Presence Concerning The Devastation." Says The Droid. "Report To Master Tainne, He Will Begin Your Instruction In The Ways Of The Dark Side." Dooku Informs Revan, Before Departing With The Tactical Droid.

Deciding Not To Disobey Dooku, Revan Returned To His Rooms Briefly To Change Into A Attire That Reflected His Mother's Bloodline, Beskar Armor. His Mother Was A Mandalorian, and One Of The Last Few Mandalorians To Openly Practice The Old Ways, But As Defenders Of Mandalore's More Peaceful Government. Her Armor Was Now His, and Revan Had Modified It To Suit His Preferences. Micro-Dart Launchers, Fletchettes, Kamino Sabre Darts, Westar-34 Blasters, Wrist-Mounted Flamethrower, Wrist-Mounted Micro-Missile Launcher, Jetpack and Rocket Boots, Revan Carried A Cortosis Blade On His Back, While He Stored His Other One In An UltraChrome Shield. Revan Preferred The Armour Because It Made Him Exert Himself More, In The End Building His Endurance and Strength Up. But Revan Removed Everything Except His Jetpack, Rocket Boots, Fletchettes, and Westar's. He Of Course Kept His UltraChrome Shield and Cortosis Blades, But Everything Else Was Scaled Down and Out For Mobility In Dooku's Training.

Now Ready, Revan Reported To The So-Called Master Tainne, and Found The Man To Be A Perfectionist and An Iridonian Zabrak. "I Am Master Tainne, Last Battlemaster Of Ando Prime. I Am Your Instructor, You Will Do What I Say, How I Say It, When I Say It, and Why I Say It, Are We Clear?" Asks The Zabrak. "I Answer To Count Dooku, Outside Of That Your Sole Purpose Is To Train Me, So Get In Line, Before I Cut You Two." Says Revan Threateningly. "You Are My Charge, and You Will Respect Me As Your Master!" Tainne Replies Dangerously. "I Am NO ONE's ****." Revan Warns Before Drawing One Cortosis Blade From His Shield and Adopting A Fighting Stance. "Then You Shall Die." Says Tainne, Igniting A Red Lightsaber Pike. "You First!" Revan Spits and Attacks Tainne With A Flurry Of Sword and Shield Movements, Augmented By **** Powers and Hand-To-Hand Combat Techniques Of Bakuuni and Echani.

Revan's Blade Meets Tainne's Pike and Shorts Out The Pikes Saber Blade. Revan Capitalises On The Momentary Distraction, and Slams His Knee Into The Chest Of The Zabrak, Before Sending Him Sprawling Backwards With A **** Shockwave. Tainne Stands Up, Drops His Lightsaber and Instead Summons A Squad Of Magnaguards and Takes A Phrik Electrostaff For His Own. "Old Way Is Then." Says Revan Before Reaching Deep Inside Of Him, Drawing On His Years Of Resentment To The Jedi, His Pain and Frustration During The ****, and The Hate Gained For The Jedi When They Were Unable To Rescue For Him. Using This, Revan Unleashes A Torrent Of Red and White **** Lightning. The Magnaguards Attempt To Block It With Their Electrostaff's But The Lightning Arcs Over, Under, and Around Their Blocks and Parry's, Frying Their Systems, Revan Subsequently Uses The **** To Simultaneously Tear Each One Apart. "Now For You Old Man." Revan Tells Tainne, Taking His Time Walking Up To The Terrified Zabrak, Dragging His Cortosis Blade Across The Floor, Before Decapitating The Zabrak.

Satisfied, Revan Picks The Mans Pike Up, and Attachs It To His Belt. Suddenly, He Hear's Clapping, and Looking Around He Finds Dooku Applauding His Efforts. "Master Tainne Served My Family For Generations, He Was Never So Easily Beaten As He Was Today. You Have Taken Your First Steps Towards Embracing The Dark Side, My Apprentice." Says Dooku. "Yes, My Master." Says Revan As He Kneels Before Dooku. Dooku Signals For Him To Rise, and Revan Does So. "My Master Has Instructed Me To Send You The Planet Christophis, Where Our Forces Have Suffered Crushing Defeat, After Crushing Defeat. But For Now, You Shall Need A New Name To Reflect Your New Allegiance. Revan Shan Is Dead, You Are Now Lord Menacius. Wear It Proudly." Says Dooku As A Tactical Droid Approaches, Giving Revan A Mask Of Dark and Foreboding Design. "Yes, My Master." Says Menacius.

Revan Stood Aboard His Personal Destroyer, The Injustice, Instead Of Simple B1 Droids, Organic Trade Federation Gunners and Tactical Droids Stood At The Bridge Consoles and Panels. Revan's Fleet Commander's, Admiral Trench and Captain Mar Tuk Stood Beside Him. Revan Wore A Recolored Armor, His Mandalorian Armor Was Now Green, Black, Gold, and Grey To Signify His Mourning A Lost Love, Need For Justice and Vengeance, and Dutiful Nature. Now Going By Lord Menacius, Revan Spent Hours Immersing Himself In The Dark Side, and Took The Time To Study His Newfound Enemies. He Desired Ahsoka, But Wanted Her To Embrace The Dark Side and Join Him. Christophis Would Be The First Step To This Plan. Dooku Spared No Expense in His Assignment, Several Dozens of Banking Clan Frigates, More Than Half as Many Techno Union Light Destroyers, and A Quad of Providence Destroyers. The Injustice Was A New Ship Based on The Design of The Malevolence. As Massive in Size, But Less Prone To Problems and Design Flaws.

Menacius Had Taken The Time To Remove, Improve Upon, or Simply Eradicate The Design Flaws That Lead To The Malevolence Being Destroyed. A Number Of Trade Federation Gunners and Technicians Crewed The Critical Systems. Menacius Was Overseeing The Battle Plan, When A Tactical Droid Appeared. "My Lord, Our Forces Are In Position." Says The Droid. "Excellant,Admiral Trench, I'm Naming You Head Of Our Blockade, Captain Turk You Will Lead The Occupation Blockade Of Ryloth In My Stead. If Either Of You Come Across Anakin Skywalker, You Are To Contact me Immediately. The Man Has Something That Belongs To Me." Says Menacius. "Yes My Lord." Says Trench. "As You Wish My Lord." Says Mar Turk. "I'll Be Heading To The Kuat System, To Take Kuat For The Confederacy. Don't Disappoint Me, Either Of You." Menacius Warns The Two Lieutenants Under His Command.

Taking Their Leave Of Him, The Two Right Hands Leave Revan On The Bridge, With His Tactical Droid Beside Him, They Make The Jump To Lightspeed. "My Lord, We Are On Course, Heading For Dantooine As Ordered." Says T7-X7. "Good, The Republic Forces There Won't Be Expecting An Attack, Our Forces Should Be Enough To Draw Them Out Into The Open. Prepare My Ship, Time For Phase One Of My Plan To Begin." Says Revan. "Yes, My Lord." Says T7. Menacius Planned To Infiltrate The Republic Facility, Sabotage It From Within, and Strike A Devastating Blow Against His Former Allies.

Menacius Was "Fleeing" From Separatist Fighters In A "Stolen" Starfighter, The Ships Were Ordered To Attack With Intent To Kill, But More Or Less Avoid Instant Fatal Shots. Activating His Distress Beacon, and Opening A Direct Frequency Into The Republic Channels, Menacius Begins. "This Is Former Jedi Master Revan Shan, Requesting Any Available Assistance, I Am Under Heavy Enemy Attack. Dooku's Personal Fighter Squadron Is On My Ass, Need Assistance. I Dont Know How Much Longer I Can Hold Out." Says Revan Into The Comms, and It Isn't Long, Before He Receives A Reply. "Revan, This Skywalker and Gold Squadron, Need A Hand?" Says Skywalker. "I Don't Have The Luxury Of Refusing. So Yeah, It'd Be Nice." Says Revan Into The Comm As Torrents and Arc's Appear Behind Skywalker's Golden Starfighter.

Revan Was Being Tended To By A Medical Droid, When Skywalker Entered. Ahsoka, Koon, and Kenobi Followed Behind Him. "Are You Alright Revan?" Asks Koon. "No, I'm Not, As If It Wasn't Bad Enough Being Cast Out With Nothing, Trandoshan's Tortured Me, Then Dooku Saved me and Tortured Me When I Refused To Join Him. But, There's Something Else. Dooku Has A New Lackey. He Fights Like A Jedi, But With Sith Might." Says Revan. "Do You Know His Name?" Asks Ahsoka. "Funny You Should Ask Princess, The Guy Has A Real Hard On For You, Kept Drilling Me For Information On You, Personality, Combat Disposition, and Everything Else Right Down To Your Favorite Foods." Says Revan. "He Sounds Obsessed." Notes Kenobi. "It's More Than That, When I Was Being Tortured, I Got The Sense That He Knew Ahsoka Better Than Even I, The Way He Spoke Of Her, It Was Like He Loved Her." Says Revan. "Who Is He?" Asks Koon. "They Call Him Lord Menacius, He's Mandalorian Like Me, But He Wears A Mask Not Of Mando Design." Says Revan. "We'd Best Update The Council." Says Kenobi. "Agreed Old Friend." Says Koon. "Come On Snips, Let Revan Get Some Rest." Says Skywalker.

Once Gone, Revan Reaches Out With The ****, Searching Through It, For Targets Of Opportunity. Finding Some In The Power Relay Station, Some In The Defence System Relay, and Another In Life Support. Revan Reaches Out, Using The **** To Use Flamusfracta On The Defence System and Life Support, While Using Telekinesis To Disrupt The Main Power Station. Alarms Blare Out, and Revan Signals His Fleet. "What's Happening?" Revan Demands. "Don't Know, But Defences and Power Are Down, and Life Supports Been Damaged. On Top Of That Those Friends Of Yours Brought Friends Of Their Own." Says Skywalker. "We're being Boarded As Well." Says Koon. "I Brought This On You, I Should Be The One To Fix It. Gather The Injured and Get Them Out To Safety, I'll Confront The Boarders." Says Revan. "Revan, You Can't Your Unarmed!" Shouts Ahsoka. "I Don't Have A Choice, If Menacius Learns Your Here, and I Get Captured, He Won't Hesitate To Kill Me. Besides Which Lightsaber Or No, I'll Be Damned If Some Clankers Get Past Me." Says Revan. "Here." Says Koon, Handing Revan His Old Lightsabers. "Thanks Master." Says Revan, Taking Up His Old Sabers. A Trooper Suddenly Appears. "General Skywalker, The Separatists Have Begun To Attack The Main Reactor." Says Rex. "I'll Handle Them, You Two Had Best Get In Your Ships and Take Some Of The Pressure Off, While Kenobi and Ahsoka Handle The Main Boarders." Says Revan. "I Agree, Master Plo and I Are Better Off Leading The Counter-Offensive In Our Fighters." Says Skywalker.

Revan Was In The Main Reactor Meeting With His Commando's. Now In His Armor, Revan Left A Dead Cloned Corpse In His Clothes Before Him. Lightsabers Still In Hand, When Ahsoka Arrived. "Revan No!" Shouts Ahsoka. "Ahsoka Tano, How I've Long Awaited This Moment. You Will Be Mine Before The Battle Is Done." Says Menacius. " Keep Dreaming Scumbag." Says Ahsoka Before Igniting Her Saber and Attacker Menacius. She Attacks With Her Typical Shien Style, and Menacius Counters Every Attack With Expert Precision and Tactical Superiority. Revan Blasts Her With **** Lightning, Before Kenobi Appears. "Lord Menacius I Presume?" Asks Kenobi. "Obi-Wan Kenobi, It's Been A Long Time. Last I Saw You, You Were Killing My Father On Telos IV. You and That Bearded Bastard Qui-Gon Jinn." Says Menacius. "Xantos?" Asks Kenobi. "Xantos II." Menacius Lies. An Explosion Rips Through The Ship, and Menacius Takes The Opportunity To Escape.

Leaving Aboard A Stolen Republic Y-Wing, Menacius Had To Transmit His Clearance Codes To Avoid Friendly Fire. But Arrived Safely. Now On Board The Injustice, Mencius Was Prepared TO Begin Phase Two Of His Plan. "Fire The Cannon!" Demands Menacius. "Firing!" Declares T7, As The Main Ion Pulse Cannon Fires. The Cannon Decimates The Republic Fleet, and Menacius Signals The Dreadnought To Leave. "I'll Be In My Quarters, But I Want A Forty Million Credit Bounty Posted For The Live Capture Of Ahsoka Tano." Says Menacius. "Yes My Lord, We'll Have It Done Before We Arrive At Mustafar." Says T7. "Very Good, That Is All." Says Menacius, Who Has A BX Commando and Magnaguard Escort Following Him. Arriving In His Personal Chambers, Menacius Begins To Meditate.

Menacius Initiates Moving Meditation, Performing Graceful Makashi Movements, With A Few Hints Of Shii-Cho, and Juyo. Menacius Had Expended A Large Amount Of Money, Cloning Himself Just To Have The Clone Killed, and Give The Jedi A Reason To Hunt Him Down. But He Could Sense Ahsoka's Grief and Her Need For Justice, Not Realising Menacius and Revan Were One and The Same Person. Finishing His Meditation, Menacius Contacts His Master. "My Lord, I Have Laid The Groundwork, Given Time, We Will Yet Turn The Chosen One To The Dark Side." Says Revan. "Excellent, I Must Inform Lord Sidious At Once. Report To The Serenno For Your Next Assignment." Says Dooku. "Yes, My Lord." Says Revan.
