An alternate version of KOTOR History. And yes I know the characters are unknowns but I don't care, just read the story please.
"What happened to your lightsaber?"
The woman known only as the Jedi Exile didn't respond at first. The memories where painful ones.
"My lightsaber was...taken from me by the council"
The hooded figure she was talking to approached her.
"Then perhaps you would like this?"
The figure gave her a lightsaber.
"No. I am no Jedi anymore."
"I'm not offering you the chance to rejoin the Jedi. I'm offering you the chance to join something far greater"
"What?"
"The Dark Side"
"Who are you?"
The figure pulled back his hood to show his bronze mask. It was Revan.
"So it's true. You have returned."
"Indeed I have. Malak is dead and I am in control again. I could use someone like you at my side again"
The Exile considered. She had been cast out of all she had held dear and she wasn't sure she wanted to be a part of the galaxy again. Still, it was always difficult to say no to someone as charismatic as Revan.
The Exile took the lightsaber.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Prove your loyalty to me. My...apprentice is on her way. Defeat her in a lightsaber duel to show me that your worthy of being at my side."
A ship touched down. The ramp lowered and down came Bastila Shan. Formerly a Jedi, now a Sith Apprentice. She rushed toward Revan and bowed.
"Lord Revan I--"
Bastila had to duck to dodge the purple lightsaber blade that almost decapitated her.
"Master, what's going on, who is she?"
"She is your replacement if you cannot defeat her" Revan responded with next to no emotion in his voice.
"What!? But I pledged myself to you!"
"Then prove to me that your worthy of being my apprentice"
Bastila activated her double-bladed lightsaber.
"Very well"
Bastila met the Exile head on, their lightsabers creating a blinding flash of light. What followed was an intense exchange of blows., with arcs of red and purple swirling around and around. Though Bastila's weapon had the longer reach, it soon became clear that the Exile had the edge. She blocked all of Bastila's blows easily, replying in kind with blows that Bastila had a difficult time fending off.
Finally a deflected blow threw Bastila off guard and the Exile called on the force she had turned her back on for so long to blast Bastila backwards and to the ground. Bastila struggled to get up.
"Surely you can do better that my dear? Your a Sith, she's not even a Jedi. I should expect better from you Bastila. At this rate you'll be one with the force in seconds"
Bastila got up and resumed her assault. This time she called on the dark side to enhance her anger which in turn enhanced her power. She fired a blast of sith lightning at the Exile. The attack knocked her down to the ground and incapacitated her. The Exile had never been trained to fend off sith lightning and the attack was a painful one. Then Bastila hit her with lightning again. And again. And again.
Bastila then turned and bowed before her master.
"Well done Bastila. I see that you are truly in touch with the dark side. There is just one problem..."
A Purple lightsaber blade suddenly flew through the air. Bastila tried to turn around but by the time she did, the lightsaber had already struck her in the arm. Bastila dropped her lightsaber and fell to the floor.
"...She's not dead."
The Exile was still in pain from the lightning, but she brought herself up and hobbled toward Revan, bowing before him.
"Have I proved myself...master?"
"Yes, I think you have"
"What about your other apprentice?"
"Well, she has been loyal...I'll have her placed in a Kolto Tank. As for you...you will be my assassin. You will hunt down the last of the Jedi"
"There are surviving Jedi?"
"Yes. Your first target is master Atris. She is hiding on Teloes."
The Exile did not respond.
"I sense anger in you. At master Atris."
"Yes."
"Good. Your anger makes you powerful. Now go to the polar region. You will find Master Atris there."
"Yes...my master"
