"Once again we shall face each other in single combat… and the victor will decide the fate of the galaxy!"
―Darth Malak, to Revan
3,959 BBY
The man known as Revan sprinted down the gleaming metal halls of the Star Forge. The ancient space station shook violently as a barrage of turbolaser fire hammered it's midsection. Revan stumbled briefly, steadying himself on a nearby wall. Sweat began to collect under his "borrowed" Mandalorian mask. The one time symbol of his time as a Sith Lord, had now be turned into a beacon of hope for the Galaxy. Revan vowed to himself and those around him that he would do whatever it took to bring the man known as Darth Malak to justice. Still unknown to even himself as to why they journeyed down the path to the darkside, stopping Malak at all cost was the only way he could redeem himself. Revan turned right down another corridor and picked up his speed. his once hastened run had transformed into a full on sprint. Sweat continued to collect under the mask, briefly blurring his vision. With a small grunt, Revan stopped his sprint and quickly removed his mask. The rush of cold sterile air caused the Jedi to smile briefly. He wiped his brow with his right sleeve, wishing that he had a drink of water to cool his parched throat. The Star Forge began to jostle once more as another volley of turbolaser fire lanced the starboard section of the space station. Flecks of dust and metal slowly rained down upon the Jedi. His hair taking on a slight grayish tint from the plethora of dust.
"I know what must be done" Revan said, his voice full of confidence and resolve
Revan donned his mask once more and set upon his destination. A lingering coolness touched the far reaches of his mind. The smile that the Jedi once carried quickly transformed into a look of grim determination. The cool presence could only be one thing. Malak. The man had finally made himself known. Revan spun on his heel and made a sharp right turn, his speed picking up slightly. Revan turned down another long hallway, pausing only to stop before a turbolift. Revan nodded once to himself before pressing a series of keys on a nearby 'pad. The elevator doors opened up with a swoosh, allowing the grizzled Jedi to enter. The doors shut with a resounding clang as the turbolift rocketed towards the main observation deck. The Jedi's stomach lurched slightly at the sudden influx of movement. Butterflies began to circle around causing the Jedi to swallow any lingering nervousness. He couldn't afford to have any doubt in his mind. He couldn't afford to show any sign of weakness. There was only one possible result in the fight to be.
"Im… [cough] impossible. I… I cannot be beaten. I am the Dark Lord of the Sith." Malak said, his respirator adding a metallic twang to his tone
"The power of the light will always be stronger than the dark side." Revan replied as he exited the turbolift and took a position in the center of the observation deck
"Still… [cough] still spouting the wisdom the Jedi, I see. Maybe there is more truth in their code than I ever believed. I… I cannot help but wonder, Revan. What would have happened had our positions been reversed? What if fate had decreed I would be captured by the Jedi? Could I have returned to the light, as you did? [cough] If you had not led me down the dark path in the first place, what destiny would I have found?" Malak said, his voice dripping with hate as he activated his crimson-red lightsaber, the blade springing to life with a snap-hiss.
"I am sorry I started you on this path. But you chose to continue down it." Revan replied once more, his tone one of hurt and shame.
The Jedi dipped his head slightly, gazing out into the battle that was now in full swing. Republic Hammerhead-class cruisers traded fire with Sith Star Destroyers in a deadly dance that should never have to be repeated. Revan gave a small shake of his head before turning back to his one time apprentice. He let his right hand fall to his side. With a small tug with the force, the silver hilt of his own lightsaber sprung into his hand. He gripped the cold metal tightly and with a small flick of his wrist, his own sapphire blade sprung to life. It's own blue light already fighting for dominance against Malak's red.
Malak raised his blade in the traditional stance of the Shien form before charging at the redeemed Jedi. Revan raised his own blade, parrying Malak's overhead strike. A shower of sparks erupted from the contact. Malak ducked back slightly, backing away three steps before raising his blade once more to give another
overhanded strike.
