Kotor II: Ruin, Mystery, Dreams: Part 13 – Malachor V

Leave a Reply

And there is ONE MORE CHAPTER after this! The final showdown! And I’ve neglected so many chores trying to get this done this weekend! I would like to be done already please! D:

Chapter theme song is Levi vs. Female Titan, for the Atton-space/Selyn-Nihilus battle.

I read on the internet that Bao-Dur is supposed to die helping HK get to or from the secret droid factory on Telos? I almost considered doing that, but I decided in the end to do it the way I’ve imagined it for a long time. I also nabbed some Cut Content dialogue from a thing that shouldn’t happen to Atton except under certain circumstances which I forget what they are but I’m pretty sure would not be completionist LSF, but it was just too dramatic to pass up. XD

Part 13: Malachor V

 

The Ravager lay dead ahead of Citadel Station, grinning like a jawless skull as it majestically closed to attack. Its fighter and light ship escort buzzed alongside it like carrion; a crude, obvious metaphor, but impossible to deny. The Republic fleet had just dropped out of hyperspace and was closing with them, already firing on them and taking fire in return.

It hadn’t always been the Ravager. Once it had been the Regent, one of the proudest ships in the Republic fleet – and a ship that she had sent to its death on Malachor. Commander Helvotha had captained it, with Jedi Knight Yserys, when her former captain had committed suicide rather than fight the Mandalorians anymore. Continue reading →

Two more to go! Wuu wuu! This chapter’s theme is Cyberbird, for the fighting on the city walls!

Somewhat wall-of-texty here, but it’s all important (imo) although I am not 100% happy with all the details. Also, a minor fight detail – I’ve been informed by the internet that butterfly kicks are more style than substance… but I imagine in the feet of a Jedi, they’d be pretty effective.

Part 11: The General’s Resolve

 

Crowded into Mandalore’s control centre, they listened to Kelborn outline the situation.

“This Kavar said the Queen had arranged safe passage for you to Onderon, but I don’t know how good that offer is anymore. This morning General Vaklu met with the Council of Lords and declared that the Queen was guilty of treason. The military is divided on who to support, but I doubt that Queen Talia and her advisor will survive until nightfall. The Royal Palace is well fortified, I’m told, but Vaklu has new allies: Sith soldiers and their masters. The war has also driven the caged beasts in the streets mad somehow. Bralor and I concur. She doesn’t stand a chance.” Continue reading →

This chapter’s theme is Torukia! Also things ended up being too long again; this thing is yet another chapter longer than it was previously. : P

Part 8

 

Part 9: Hollow Eyes, Blazing Soul

 

Bao-Dur was fully healed from the Sith attack now; after she’d gone to Onderon with Mical, he and Mira had returned to the Ebon Hawk, trusting in Mira’s wilderness skills to keep them alive and uneaten. He’d spent the rest of the time refining Atton’s repairs, and Mira had negotiated with the Mandalorians for more parts for better repairs.

Selyn was happy to see him healthy and busy, but he looked askance at their new companion and called her aside in the garage shortly after they’d gone into hyperspace. “A moment, please?”

“Is everything all right?” she asked, but there was a crease between his dark brows. Continue reading →

This chapter’s theme is Rise! <3

And it was extremely difficult to write. I may be losing steam even though the ideas are still there. : P

Part 8: The Mire

 

One of the first ‘tasks’ given to her was to compete in the Mandalorian battle circle, a tournament competition that was basically the final step in their combat training.

They just wanted to see if they could beat the former Jedi. “The battle circle is only reserved for real warriors. Your Jedi tricks won’t help you here – not honourably, at least. Jedi rely too much on their vaunted powers. They lose touch with their hands and feet. Without your Force would you be even a match for the lowliest of Mandalorian warriors?”

Mical shuffled indignantly, but she raised a hand to calm him. “That doesn’t bother me. I accept.” Continue reading →

Trying to get this story done in the near future, would be nice.

No chapter theme this time; mostly filler and set-up except for cards. I wasn’t expecting it to take so much space. Drama next time, I promise.

Part 7: Mirror

 

“While you were gone and I was still incapacitated, a man came to see me,” Selyn said to Mira. “He said he was a friend of yours. Do you know a man with a moustache by the name of Zez Kai-Ell?”

“The moustache, yes. The name, no. But I take it you know him too.” Mira squinted at her suspiciously. “What do you want with him?”

“I just want to talk,” she said. “He’s the whole reason I came to Nar Shaddaa in the first place.” Continue reading →

More juicy stuff! Atton seems to be attempting to steal the story… I’m maybe almost getting used to writing him in third person instead of first. I spent a lot of time making sure the first half of this chapter was interesting, but then the second half gave me way too much trouble. Bring on the introspection, forget the action!

Atton’s barfight was scripted while listening to run rabbit junk. Swoop bike chase written with DMC’s Blue Rose.

Part 6: The Lost Jedi

 

He went to bed with his head buzzing, fear and excitement warring within him. He’d told her, and she hadn’t killed him. She hadn’t even left the cockpit, or even her seat. No matter what he’d said to her, she’d taken it, and all she gave back was a second chance. A real second chance, the best one he’d ever been given. She really meant it, too. He knew she wasn’t going to take it back, but emotions faded slowly. So, he was still nervous about seeing her tomorrow.

If any of the others found out what he’d told her… Mical for one would probably murder him. Continue reading →

Well.

It’s over. After a year of waiting, I wrote the end for you. And maybe it’s not the ending that it could be. But at least it is AN ending, and now if I want to revise it, it will be easier to make sense of. Speaking of revisions, I haven’t forgotten anyone’s comments/criticisms, and I want to thank everyone for making comments/criticisms, and I’ll definitely be taking them all into account when/if I get around to revising.

I am not sure where to put the first scene in this. It feels like a scene that goes in the middle of a chapter. But there isn’t really room in the flow of the story to move it. That’ll be another thing to revise. :3 This chapter took two days to write, and is approximately 8100 words long (out of a total of approximately 69,600). The only part that I had written previously was the part about sandwiches, and the death of the spacedragon.

If you want to read from the beginning before you read this new chapter, here’s a link to Chapter 1 for ye. If you’re just looking for your cameo character, everyone gets several minutes in this one, except Marcus, who is ded-ded-dedy-permaded. I might turn around and throw in a reference to him later, or I might not. I haven’t really decided yet. But thanks everyone for letting me borrow their characters; they were super helpful to have around and I’d be glad to see them again.

Hope you enjoyed this story in all its rough-draft glory. I’m glad to have written it.

EDIT: After adding the scene with Torrigan, this chapter grew to truly monster proportions, so there is now a link to Chapter 15 at the bottom of the page!

Another chapter is done! I’m very close to the end. I don’t know how long the final battle will take to write but it’s just around the corner.

But it’s back to school tomorrow, so that will take priority. And I still have to see how to fix the light in my ceiling… I really don’t know how to put the new bracket in!

That’s all for now. I’m going to practice a bit before bed. Also I should eat, but there’s nothing I want to eat. : P

EDIT: Torrigan’s player has mentioned that Torrigan had a character arc, but unfortunately there isn’t really enough story left to flesh it out, so I’ll be leaving it up to you. Suffice it to say (as Torrigan says) that he’s not quite as nice as he used to be. We’ll see how well I can add that. However, I’m still not interested in the war, so it’s staying more or less vague and in the background.
