Dantooine's Secrets(Revan and Sidious)

[Lord Sidious II]

:: The Dark Lord sat in his private quarters aboard his capital ship. A hologram of the planet surface of dantooine flickered before him. He gazed at the landscape that had been surveyed by several of his probe droids.

{Dantooine...he thought to himself.......It was a planet that always harbored importance. The jedi established an enclave there, the sith destroyed it. It became mostly farms for millenia till the Rebellion used it as a hide out during the Galactic Civil War, then abandoned. With the fall of the Great Empire the planet was again annexed by the new republic. A great battle against the Yuuzhan Vong took place there, and now again it was technically in the hands of the GA. However the planet was mostly uninhabited and unmonitored. Its secrets and ruins hidden under thousands of years of dust and soil.}

All this did well for Sidious, the secrets it would bear unto him were still safe just as the location of...it. Sidious had found 2 already, he was now taking the next step to finding his way to the where it was. This explains why he was burdening himself with the tedious job of scouring the terrain of the backwater planet. A few huts dotted unkept farm lands, a truly terrible existance Sidious judged.

He hardly knew what to look for but knew when he saw it he would know.

Then a sign. he zoomed in. It was small, no more then a white marble like blemish on the green landscape. The surface of the white patch seemed to be maybe 5 feet in diameter. He focused in on it with he force prodding the galaxy around it. Nothing!..........Wait Maybe.

It was enough to warrant investigation he deemed.::

"Surely that is just a rock my lord, nothing to see for it. Perhaps near the polar extremities, we may find more luck there." Commander Otto exclaimed.

"No. That is it, now I am sure of it. Send for my apprentice and prepare my shuttle. When Revan arrives we go planet side and commander see to it we remain alone on the planet."

"Yes sir." He promptly saluted.

::Sidious' presence stirred the force around the planet. he was satisfied with his find and was convinced he would find all he was searching for.::

Otto stood before the communications desk and delivered his message. "Lord Revan, your master requests your presence aboard his ship immediately. Our location is being uploaded to you on a secure channel. Please arrive promptly.

[Darth Valrum]

*Revan was keeping a close watch over the Academy on Korriban while his master, Lord and Dark Lord of the Sith, was on a mission of his own. Returning to his quarters after overseeing a handful of student training, he sent out a caressing touch to the doors of his quarters with the Dark Side, immediately they swung open before him. Striding into his room he brushed the doors with the Dark Side once more and they slowly sealed off the room behind him.*

*The Academy was growing, but slowly. The students were coming along, but very few of them were superior to the rest but did not deserve a second glance from Revan's judgment. They would be powerful students, but he had his doubt about any of them becoming Sith Masters. These troops would surely make a great addition to their troops numbers and powers for a war though. Sitting on a soft spread out mat that laid on the cold stone floor, he began to meditate. His meditation became in vein. Before he could begin his meditation a beeping came from the controls in his computer. Rising up to his feet, he smoothly walked over and flicked the switch on the constant beeping receiver. His computer flared up with a a screen snapping open, a stern face waiting for him. Immediately he knew the message was from his master.*

"Lord Revan, your master requests your presence aboard his ship immediately. Our location is being uploaded to you on a secure channel. Please arrive promptly.

*Without a word, Revan shut off communications and another screen on his computer flickered into life, a line of code appeared on his screens to show the coordinates. Removing a data chip from his computer with the coordinates of his masters location, he pushed out with the Dark Side to command the doors of his room to swing open. Taking his cloak with him, he twirled it around him as he strode out the doors that closed behind him again with another command of the force. As his robe flowed hind him like a graceful shadow, Revan made his way to the landing dock outside the temple.*

This must be important.

*Revan climbed aboard his personal star fighter. The glass slid into place over his head with a hiss to seal Revan inside the cockpit. Firing up the controls, the engines roared with signs of life. As Revan uploaded the data chip into his ships controls he waited while the ship read the coordinates. Punching in a flight path control to his masters location with the coordinates, the ship began to push up off the ground and pulled in its landing gear. After the course was uploaded, the engines released more power, sending Revan and his fighter up through the atmosphere, eventually breaking Korribans orbit.*

*After nearly a half an hour, Lord Sidious' capital ship came into view. Taking over the controls manually, Revan punched the command, sending his engines to unleash full power. Eventually Revans shuttle slowed down to land gently in the hanger bay. The glass slid out of place with a hiss from his fighter. Making his way out of the ship, he strode into the hall ways with a purpose. Taking the elevator up to his Masters quarters level, the door slid open and Revan stepped out. The doors to Lord Sidious' room slid open and Revan strode inside and Revan gave a slight bow to his Master.*

"You summoned me, Master."

[Lord Sidious II]

::At first Sidious did not reply. He was deep within the force and though he felt his apprentice in the room he did not immediately acknowledge him. Sidious had often spent the past several days in a deep trance state. There was something, something that interrupted Sidious every time he entered the force. He would try to meditate and focus on the darkside, but this..something....would constantly interrupt his thoughts as if it was calling him from the very edge of the galaxy. This "noise" annoyed him at first, then it confused him, now it bothered him that he did not know what it was. He knew none with a deeper connection to the force, he may not be the most powerful in the galaxy, though he assumed he was up there, but he guessed there was few in the galaxy who understood the force as he did. And the fact that now the force brought to him something that he did not recognize was VERY unnerving.

He shook him self from his trance and turned around to see Revan there.::

"Yes, I did summon you. There is something I must show you." :: He brought up a hologram of what he thought the "ultimate weapon" looked like in its old day.::

"This is a relic that rightfully belongs to us. It was conceived of the darkside. Its location has been lost since the end of the Empire I have made great strides in finding it and now we take yet another step."

::Sidious led them from his quarters and into the main bay of his star destroyer. A shuttle was being prepped for their travel to Dantooine. The two entered and the shuttle lifted off it peds and began its travel to the surface. The shuttle touched down right next to the marble blemish on the green surface that Sidious had seen from above.

Sidious stood over it. Up close it looked like it could be the very top of a dome structure. He tapped his foot on it. It clunked with a deep hollow sound. He summoned the force and sent a blast of force energy through the rock structure. The brittle rock gave way and collapsed under the force of the blast and Sidious peered through.

Inside revealed a red tiled floor and much decay. Sidious looked once at Revan and without a word jumped in. He looked around and saw the ancient remains of the Jedi Academy from the Old Republic.::

[Darth Valrum]

*He could feel his Master buried deep in the dark side of his meditation. He stood with his hands behind his back in an at ease pose. He himself let the dark side sweep him up. He could feel the vibrations of it; the power, depth, control... yet there was something else. It was faint to Revan, but he could not understand what it was. Before he could devote any more thought to it he was brought out of his own slight meditation by the sound of his masters voice to address him.*

*His head snapped up to his master as he watched him rise to his feet and turn on the holo projector. The Hologram held the image of an odd shaped object. Revan couldnt tell the size of the object wither it be the size of his palm to the size of something much more. It held no memory or recollection of what it actually was, but in the strange way he felt a distant feeling that this object was somehow connected to Revan; as if were something he should know of. He turned his attention to his master.*

"It has a presence almost. I can not feel it, but i feel like i should, like i should always have known about it. Yet i know for a fact that i know nothing about this."

*Following Sidious to the shuttle that was awaiting their presence he made his way inside with his master. As the shuttle carried them to Dantooine below, Revan was curious to know what lied beneath them. Watching Sidious fall into the darkness below, Revan followed suit and leaped inside after his master. Landing on a red tiled ground, Revan straightened up to survey his surroundings. His eyes flickered with surprise at their find. The Jedi Academy from the Old Republic. Turning in a full circle, Revan examined his surroundings. The building was old, suffering from damage over the years. Though he was sure this place suffered from old age, he knew others could have done damage to it as well. As to why Sidious brought him here, Revan had only a handful of ideas.*

[Lord Sidious II]

::Sidious peered through the musty stale darkness. He could only guess the last time these halls had been visited. Sidious began to move down the hall way listening with his ears and the force. He felt life, not much but little.

The sound of hard scurrying feet came from the corners::

"Laigreks."::Sidious said emotionless to his apprentice, as he ignited his crimson sbaer.

::The vicious critters with their malevolent red eyes were feared by many in the galaxy. They had the potential to overwhelm their victim and tear them to shreds, but for Sith, this was a minor nuisance.

The laigreks surrounded the 2 and closed in making their hungry clicking sounds. Sidious moved forward on them slicing through the nearest ones neck removing its head, moving with the momentum of the strike he spun and inverted his saber plunging it into the back of the next, pulling it free of the smoking carcass he ripped it in an uppercut through the jaw of another splitting its face in half, spinning once more he drew the saber across the front of another moving the red blade past an arm severing it and through its neck. The swarm in front of him began to back off, Sidious unleashed a torrent of lightning on them and they fled even further, once they cleared he saw that 4 had succumb to the blast and lay on their back twitching with the last life they held.

Sidious looked back to see his apprentice had made short work of the attackers behind him.

The master nodded to the apprentice and they moved deeper on.

Rounding the next hall way the past through an old audience chamber once used for the Jedi Council on Dantooine now only inhabited by Laigrek nests, who eyed the intruders having learned their lesson rather quick.

The next corridor led them to a large door and the room Sidious was looking for. Sidious waved his hand over the door mechanism, of course it did not work, years of no use and decay had take its toll. Sidious reached into the force and grabbed the door, ripping it free of the wall, pulling out pieces of the surrounding structure and moving it to the room beyond, he placed it gently on the other side of the threshold as to not disturb the fragile relics on the inside. As he stepped through the threshold he found himself in the library of the academy.::

[Darth Valrum]

*He has followed suit to his master. He felt the force in this place, but it was distant like an echo. What ever was here died or fled long ago, the only life forms he could feel were small and insufficient, making them the only two who had any control of the force.*

*He wasnt surprised at his masters words, he knew Laigreks liked dark and damp surroundings, and a ruined Jedi enclave was their perfect fit. He felt the large Laigreks draw closer to them in the dark. Little light shed through the hole from the ceiling above, but not enough to fill the entire room. He could feel their presence, a throng of them surrounded himself and his master.*

*With a snap-hiss, his crimson blade came to life. Effortlessly he twirled his blade in his hand and side stepped the first attacking Laigrek and with an uppercut he sliced through its body down the middle. Using the force he hurled the two halves of the first Laigrek into the faces of two others. Dead ahead, a Laigrek lunged with wide open jaws, aiming to end Revans life. With a simple step forward and a fast and clean thrust, Revans crimson blade was thrusted into the mouth of the Laigrek, the tip of the blade searing through the flesh of the guts inside and quickly pulled out so the lifeless body landed inches from his feet. The previous Laigreks were furious and the first launched itself for his feet. Revan hurled a force push at the Laigreks and sent them straight for the wall to stack up against one another as they collided against another. At the same moment he hurled his lightsaber at the two, the blade pierced through both bodies and pinned them to the wall, the flesh sizzling from the heat of the blade. The last Laigrek tried to catch him by suprise as he delt with the other two. It made its way and lunged for Revans throat. Spinning around Revan caught the creature with the force and suspended its thrashing body in mid air. It tried to tear at him with his legs and teeth but Revan used the force to grip the creatures back and front and pull at them both, causing the Laigrek to rip in two in a bloody mess as he let it drop to the floor. He walked over and retrieved his lightsaber from the impaled Laigreks and withdrew it from their burning carcasses.*

*Walking back over to his master he gave him a nod and they continued without further distractions. Sidious and ripped the door and its frame from the wall and placed it inside. Stepping inside over the rubble his eyes scanned the room to find they were inside the library.*
