Ryuu's attack was direct, as Revan thought it would be. Ama came in from the side as well with their lightsabers. It was almost too predictable, Sith usually were. Revan seemed to not even register that they had moved against him, however once the lightsaber blows began to land only to phase through him however his arms shot out at them. In one hand, two fingers pointed the way on his arm and as it came to Ryuu's force bubble a focused telekinesis with the most concentrated point Revan could muster to blast through his protection bubble and send him flying across the room. Same thing would happen with Ama, as his other hand. His lightsaber began to float independent of himself now.
"Why do you think you need this power?" asked Revan who didn't seem content to leave it at silence. "I'm telling you, nothing you find in this temple will bring you or anyone else anything of worth."

Revan's molding of the force alerted Ryuu to increase his defenses, Ryuu focused the power of his veil towards the front to keep the attack from piercing it. Still the force of the blow was enough to back Ryuu off. He straightened back up and turned off his lightsaber, snickering at Revan.
"Hmph... coward. Much like my father. If I didn't know any better I'd think you might actually be him. Though if you were Cain, I'd already be dead." Ryuu quieted his mind, allowing the spark of the force within him to almost completely vanish in an immersion. Any connection Revan had to his head would now be incredibly difficult if not impossible to maintain... so long as Ryuu didn't try to use the force again...
"It's only a trick. Come Ama. He can't stop us if he won't show himself," Ryuu turned away from his foe and headed deeper into the tomb, keeping his presence hidden, blending in with the darkness all around him.

Nodding in response Ama, returned to Ryuu's side, not even giving the stranger a second look. Turning off her saber, she grimaced at the dusty, stale interior of the tomb.
"What business have you here, Ryuu?" She asked, eyeballing the area as they stalked ever closer to the heart of the Temple. "Dusty Sith tombs seem to be the highlight of your adventures with Ama."

Revan had snuck past the two when he had left the shadow clone up with them, however as they ignored the shadow clone after finding out about it. Coming out of his trans like state at the enterance of the tomb he dropped into the void now using force speed to arrive first. He was in the sarchopagous room already. Revan sat on the tomb of Freedon Nadd as the other two entered once again, this time he wasn't a shadow clone. He knew Ryuu would instantly be annoyed at his continued meddling but it couldn't be helped, however he would feel the presence one again, calming emotions and a sense of peace about the area.
"You know the worst part about the darkside?" asked Revan as he continued to sit almost peacefully. "You end up alone, and all those you cared about are gone."
"I used to be like you once... Ryuu. I used to think that by training and gaining more power in the darkside of the force would put me up right next to my Masters, even replace them. It was power I searched for, and craved but then it dawned on me." said Revan watching their movements, he was ready for Ryuu's attacks this time he was fast yes, but the force was with him and would alert him if Ryuu reverted back to violence once more. "What I would have to do to get there. I thought I was being weak however the more i thought about it the more I realized. I would destroy myself and become them. You meantioned your father.... well what do you think you are becoming here? What would it profit a man should he gain the whole universe.... but loose his own immortal soul?"
The danger of the situation was rising he knew, if he couldn't convince Ryuu to turn away, then he would be faced with an opponent that harbored no feelings against killing while he had sworn never to kill again.

Ryuu glared at Revan with emotionless eyes as his lightsaber jumped from his belt to his hand and fired up once again. Ryuu's veil wrapped closely around his body once again in preparation for a fight, "You pursue your own destiny... and allow me to pursue mine. I have learned all I can from the light, my path now leads into the darkness. I do not require your, or anyone's acceptance. If you insist on impeding my path however, I will have no choice but to remove you from it."
With that Ryuu opened his palm, summoning Freedon Nadd's holocron from its pedestal and into Ryuu's hand. If Revan tried to stop him there would be a fight. If he allowed it, Ryuu would simply leave.

A few things ran through Revan's head at this moment, from using a mind trick to have Ryuu think he had picked up the holocron instead of one of Revan's lightsabers, or crushing the holocron and with that destroying all the information that was held within it. He could also start a battle with these two however he felt it was time to let it go. The sith holocron whipped past him and he made no move for it, but to close his eyes as it past.
When Ryuu caught it he felt the urge again to do something but he willfully suppressed it. There was no reason to fight, he sought darkness, and he wasn't going to listen to reason. Save those you can... Revan couldn't help but laugh Cynically.
"Oh but you do Ryuu. You will see in the end I suspect. At least there is someone who still cares for you, and she seeks you still." said Revan leaving it at the as he faced the tombs vast chamber, he was able to hold a sense of calm facing the gloom of it, however he knew it was going to take a few days to try and sooth this place. He felt dark deeds had been done here throughout the ages....
"Leave this place, I will not follow you." said Revan as he waited for the footsteps that Ryuu would take in leaving this place to fade in the distance. When he was sure Ryuu was well out of hearing range he whispered to himself. "Can't say I didn't try..."

Ryuu took the holocron and tucked it away into his robes, regarding Revan's words with only a disinterested emotionless stare before turning and leaving him in the tomb's central chamber. He had what he'd come for, but there was still more to accomplish. His remote followed loyaly at his side as he strode to the tomb's exit, he assumed Ama would do the same.
Ryuu didn't say a word as he reentered his ship and took off. The next stop was a place of pain for both he and his father... it would be the perfect place to train. Ryuu's freighter made the jump then into hyperspace on its way to Chinine.

Revan closed his eyes focusing on the place of darkness. The holocron was gone, and it made the places taint fade a small amount, however it was still here, and even as he reached out with the force he could feel the twangs in the force pulling at his conscious. This place would prove the perfect test for him, he would defeat this small patch of the darkside or die trying. Revan walked to the far end of the water that seemed perfectly placid on the surface however that would soon change in the hours to come.
He sat down crossing his legs and put himself into a trans projecting the emotions of fulfillment, satisfaction, love, among others. Then he began to find his center wiping away the feelings of anger, hatred, and fear that were ever abundant in this place. It seemed like moments to Revan however it was hours that he had sat there focusing, and now he turned his attention to the tomb, he let his awareness spread outwards like a flood flowing first through the room until it was full and then flowing down the hallways. He could almost picture a massive river flooding from himself throughout the tomb of Freedon Nadd.
The water began to ripple outwards from Revan as his presence began to run down the side hallways as it pushed it's way out to even the entrance. As he his awareness encompassed the whole tomb he felt his head beginning to be assaulted with strong emotions, powerful in nature. Images flashed of sacrifices done here, and of dark hooded figures. Nothing clear but Revan could guess at their relevance. The water before him now was not longer rippling but shimmering as the water began to flow forth in random direction almost as if it was showing the struggle in a physical manifestation.
The more Revan held to his center the stronger the emotions became, as the darkside seemed to try and seep into his body, Revan's body melded with the void multiple times through this process however he didn't notice himself as he strained his mind to remain calm, these feelings weren't his and were being placed upon him. Another strong wave hit him, almost making him swoon but he stayed at it. The assaults where becoming less and less frequent but more and more desperate, while Revan's determination remained as Beskar.
A blue glow began to emanate from Revan as the tide turned and he began to quell the rage, anger, and hatred within this place. The water went perfectly still before him, and it was suddenly as if a heavy weight had been lifted from this place. Gravity seemed much lighter however he knew it wasn't gravity but the force that had made this place much more peaceful. His stomach growled as he realized it must have taken quite a while to do, longer then he had thought.

Revan awoke from his meditation he had felt the stirrings and he had answered the call. Now that his connection had broken away he knew he had to do something. As much as he didn't want to become a baby sitter for Zilfer, he had to do something to help. Walking forth from the tomb he closed it's great doors with the force locking it from those would seek any further secrets within and climbed into his stealthX and got onto the com.
"Hello, This is Nanashi calling Cloak and Dagger you boys still out there?" asked Revan and then he stopped waiting for a good few minutes before a reply was received.
"We are Lord Nanashi, ever since your depart from the empire we still seek to serve." said the voice over the com. "Good, because some friends of mine are in trouble. Meet me of at the rendezvous with the Bird." said Revan as he started up his engines and headed out from Dxun airspace speeding off into hyperspace....
