You get your feet wet.

You and Darth Bandon charge each other, clashing lightsabers as you get a feel for your newfound strength in a battle with an actual opponent. You were in respectable shape back on Earth, but here, your muscles and reflexes were on another level. Attacking and parrying felt like second nature as flashes of Revan's training went through your mind. You were thankful for all this as you wouldn't be lasting nearly as long without it.

You focused your energy as you both blocked each other's attacks, then jumped a step backward to avoid a slash that would have cleaved you in two. Bandon, irritated, tried to use the **** to **** you. But thanks to your willpower and having the foresight to apply **** Immunity earlier, you managed to resist the attack through the ****. You dug into your power and applied stasis to Bandon. A shocked look appeared on his face as he was frozen in place. Clearly he thought I was just a soldier who had picked up a lightsaber off a corpse. You didn't waste this opportunity and went in for the kill while he was ****. You swiftly moved and aimed for the neck.

*SLASH!* Off with his head.

You breathed heavily as the body hit the floor. You survived your first actual lightsaber duel.

'Holy... being in an actual fight is much more intense than just-' You then realized that you had likely just made a major change to the upcoming events of your adventure by killing Malak's apprentice on the Endar Spire.

*BOOM* As the ship rumbled, you decided to put off the implications regarding changing the story for later. Right now, you needed to head to the escape pods and get the hell out of here. With Bastila gone, it was only a matter of time before the Sith ships ambushing the Endar Spire finished it off.

Before leaving, you holstered your single-hilt lightsaber and picked up the double-bladed one and the 3000(!) credits that were on Bandon's body. You decided against taking the armor off of him. The last thing you needed was Malak hearing of someone on Taris walking around with the armor of his late former apprentice.

Equipped: Double-bladed lightsaber

Inventory: Single-hilt lightsaber, blaster pistol; 3025 credits, 2 frag grenades, 1 part
