Inside the fortress corridors—dark, metallic walls, steam venting from hidden machinery. The heavy clang of Revan’s boots echoes. HK-99 remains close behind.
VADER (booming echo):
You have come… Revan.
Vader emerges from the shadows, black armor gleaming, red lightsaber ignited. His mechanical breathing resonates in the hush.
REVAN (drawing his own lightsaber, the crimson blade igniting with a hiss):
You sought me out. Or was it the Emperor who orchestrated this?
VADER (voice cold):
The Emperor knows all that transpires. You are an artifact of a forgotten age. Step aside or perish.
REVAN (voice calm, blade held at the ready):
I’ve known Emperors who call themselves immortal. All fell to dust in time.
They circle each other warily. The tension is palpable.
VADER:
You are powerful. But you stand alone. Join me, and perhaps you can have a place in the new Empire.
REVAN (soft, almost sympathetic):
Join you? You were once Jedi. Now you serve a master who keeps you chained in darkness.
VADER (anger flaring):
I made my choice. The Jedi betrayed me—left me burning on this very world. The Emperor gave me purpose.
REVAN (eyes flicker with regret):
Serving tyranny is not purpose. Let go of your hate. Come with me. We can forge a balance in the Force.
Vader’s grip on his saber tightens. With a roar of mechanical breath, he lunges. Their sabers collide in a spectacular flurry of sparks. The fiery light illuminates Revan’s battered mask and Vader’s obsidian helmet.
The duel is intense. Vader’s raw power slams into Revan’s expert precision. Revan channels both the dark and light—his strikes are fierce but balanced. Meanwhile, HK-99 stands by, watching intently, occasionally firing a potshot at a lurking Stormtrooper or two that tries to interfere.
HK-99 (gleeful):
I do love to watch a good lightsaber brawl. Go, Master, slice him at the ankles!
Vader pushes forward with unstoppable strength, forcing Revan back near a ledge overlooking the lava. Revan meets the onslaught, pivoting into a graceful counter, sending Vader staggering momentarily.
