『Into the Foundry I』

The X-70B Phantom-Class Prototype came out of hyperspace at the edge of the Nanth'ri system, directly behind an armada consisting of Thirty Terminus class Imperial Destroyers and a dozen Harrower Class Star Destroyers. It was the Sith Expeditionary Fleet belonging to Darth Malgus, locked in a battle with the Republic Fleet surrounding the Foundry.

"The Cloak has been activated. This is Gemini Thirteen, we are currently closing in on our target, directly ahead, please proceed to the Airlock, Masters." The droid spoke over the internal comm system, sounding rather content.

Ento and Vaylin raised from their seats, where they had been seated for the hours of hyperspace travel that they endured.

"I guess it's time to go..." Ento snickered quietly to himself as he began walking towards the doors leading to the corridor leading to the airlock.

Vaylin shrugged as she followed behind him, the extendable lightsaber pike in her hand.

The explosions and dog fighting outside in the vacuum of space caused the exterior hull to reverberate. For the time being it didn't seem like either side was winning, but there was also evidence of someone using battle meditation.

However even then, it seemed the Sith were hell bent on taking the station and still outnumbered the Republic ships currently present in the system.

"Master Ento, the Foundry Station has multiple entrances and hangar bays. However it seems the Republic has sealed them off. There is only one viable entrance, the asteroid intake. What is your decision Master? Should we force ourselves in through the hangar?"

Hearing the Gemini droid over the comm, he frowned lightly. Going through an intake would mean having to dodge the asteroids right? There was also the chance of the ship being sucked in maybe. Reaching out with the force, he could see outside the ship without being at the bridge of the starship was which was now his.

"Hm... Through the intake," Ento could sense that the very source of the fabled force power being used was eminanting from there. Revan, Ento could sense the former Sith, now Jedi.

"Understood. Heavy maneuvers underway. Prepare to tall," The Gemini droid spoke quickly.

Standing in front of the airlock, Vaylin and Ento locked arms behind each others backs.

Vaylin turned her head over to face him, "This is a really bad idea..."

"I have a good feeling about this," Ento quipped as he gave his gaze to her. "Thrilling, isn't it?"

"Thrilling?" Vaylin creased her brows sensing the danger of what they were about to do. Especially since there was a person on this station that was probably far more trained in the art of lightsabers than they were.

That didn't stop Ento of course.

As the starship briefly entered the intake, the airlock opened and they were practically sucked out of the ship. Being pulled from the ship, they found themselves being thrown downward towards the platform in the center of the intake below.

THUD.

With the aid of the force, they were able to cushion the fall and avoid any damage, but they still landed hard on their knees causing disorientation.

Revan, a man in armored robes and a hood over his head. He had scars from his Mandalorian Mask dotting his face that featured strong cheekbones and brain facial hair. As he was on his knees, glowing with his power over the force, he raised his head... Looking to the children who had landed in front of him.

He was... Baffled, confused. The former Sith raised a brow at the two teens. "Who... Are you supposed to be?" They didn't look liked Sith, if anything one looked like a Jedi padawan due to his braid.

The one thing he knew though was that they were unnatural in the force, most specifically Ento.

Separating from one another, the two teens bowed to the Jedi.

"My name is Ento Rhade, Student in the Jedi Arts." His gaze turned to the side as he looked behind them towards the control console. A small grin formed over his lips.

"My name is Vaylin Tirall, Heir to the Dragon." She gripped at the lightsaber Ento had allowed her to keep, the one that belonged to his father.

Ento on the other hand had his lightsaber in his hand, the one with the permafrost crystal and the blade designed after the original force imbued swords of the Je'daii Order.

Revan blinked at the two of them as they seemed to be respectful towards him. His gaze moved up towards where they had dropped in from, but saw no ship as their vessel had already moved on. "A Jedi... Padawan... And a Heiress to a Beast?" His gaze moved towards them once more.

"So be it..." The former Sith sighed as he continued to hold his meditative stance, keeping his power up and going. "I am known as Revan, Jedi Master and Former Sith Lord."

Ento stared at the being which was before him. He could sense the overwhelming remnants of the negative energy within the man, but also the positive. He had beaten corruption it seems.

"Impressive," The boy chuckled softly as he turned his back to the man, walking towards the control console which was used to operate the Foundry from this point.

Revan raised a brow, "What are you doing?"

"We have been tasked with making sure the Empire and the Republic do not get their hands on this machine and so we're moving it." Vaylin took a step back, as she spoke, before turning around and walking over to join Ento at the console.

"You're... Going to take this Foundry from me? You two? Children? I am the Master of this Foundry." Revan stood from where he was once meditating, drawing his weapon from his hip, "How do you expect to take it away?"

"I did some digging into this time's HoloNet on our way here..." Ento turned his head as his hand was hovering over the console, though he wasn't inputting anything manually. He was using the force, Electronic Manipulation combined with Mechu Deru, in order to subtly alter it directives. "Your friend, the Jedi Exile, Meetra Surik went after you into the Unknown Regions and didn't return. What if I told you... I could make it so she never died?"

Revan narrowed his eyes on the boy, he was surely talking nonsense. No one had the power over time and space. There was no way he could do that, right?

That's when he paused, his thoughts centered on the one thing that came to mind... The Chain Worlds Theorem, the place that linked all moments in time together, the World between Worlds. "You speak of Myth..."

Ento sensed Revan's death at the hands of the intruder which was fighting their way here, right at this moment. If he could learn how to use the power now, he could save the man. Or convince him to work with himself and Vaylin until he did.

"I'm from far more than a thousand years into the future... There is no Sith Empire in my time." Ento exclaimed with a clenched jaw, "You will fail against the Sith if you do not work with me here, and now."

"I left the Republic once, turned my back on it, and it almost destroyed me, I will not leave it again!" He was sure that he wasn't going to betray the Republic again, and he would die to prove it. However he sensed that the boy may not actually want to fight him, that and fighting a child didn't sit too well with him even though he was going to commit genocide against the Empire.

"You won't be leaving the Republic, Revan. You'll be surviving beside it."

Revan narrowed his eyes on the boy for a few moments before turning his head away, looking to the blast doors leading out to the platform.

"You sensed it too, didn't you? The droids... They've gone silent." Ento took a deep breath before sharply exhaling. "If we aid you, you will survive, if you don't... You would've at least weakened the Sith Lord enough for us to kill it single-handedly."

Revan let out a sigh, his chest and shoulders falling before he looked to the two teens. He still wanted to destroy the Empire, but the boy... What he said was truth, he could sense it.

It seemed it wasn't his destiny to destroy the Sith, it belonged to another. A faint smile formed over his lips as he nodded slowly. "What do you wish to do, my young friends?"

Vaylin blinked as Revan referred to them as his friends.

"First... This," the sound of all of the hangars opening and depressurizing could be heard. People were screaming followed by silence. Those who had died, had mainly been the Imperial Troopers being sucked out into space after overwhelming the Republic forces stationside.

"Then this..." An alarm sounded as the doors to the platformed sealed over and over a few times. He was venting the atmosphere within the whole station, except for where they stood, allowing the continued production of droids that would continue fighting those who remained.

As he sensed the prototype vessel landing in one of the hangar bays, he locked it down.

"And finally this..." Using Mechu-Deru, once more combined with Electronic Manipulation, Ento inputted designs for construction drones.

With the battle still raging outside, he had the drones start building a cloaking mechanism, whilst the station itself was moving very slowly on its own towards the edge of the System.
