Force Knights Chapter 1
A Young Twi'lek by the name Kalura of woke up and stared at her reflection, her blue face was contrasted by her red eyes a sign of her dark past. She put on her training clothes and walked to the training grounds.
When she got there a voice said "Your ready for another day of training."
Kalura said "Master Yoda of course." She jumped onto the a straight wooden beam and Yoda jumped on another. Kalura and Yoda swung their lightsabers at each other. Yoda said smiling "Young Padawan you may surpass me soon."
Kalura laughed as she said "That is a good one, you are very skilled." Yoda and Kalura resumed their spar. Yoda knocked Kalura's lightsaber away. Yoda launched a follow up strike. Kalura blocked the blow with the force.
They then jumped down and Kalura grabbed her blue lightsaber.
Kalura said "That was quite risky master, a second later and I would have been dead."
Yoda said "That was a test to see whether you are ready for the next step.
A Messenger ran up exhausted he said "The Council has an urgent message for you." Yoda and Kalura ran to the council. Yoda asked "Members of the Council, what do you request of us?"
The Head of the Council said "Some rumours say a Rogue Sith has been sighted, we want you hunt him down and bring him to trial."
Yoda nodded "We will go."
The Council "It has been 3 years since you took on this apprentice, I could transfer her for you."
Yoda said smiling "I have enjoyed having an apprentice, I have changed my mind."
They walk out and board a ship. They arrived at their destination. Kalura said "Ryloth, my races home world, I have never seen I was born off-world, it is so beautiful."
Yoda said "We have a mission, here don't forget that.
Kalura said "I understand, there is a Sith that needs to be captured before they do any real harm."
Yoda and Kalura landed on the planet. The leaders of the planet met with them.
Yoda asked "Do you have an image?"
The leaders gave them a picture, this is what our surveillance discovered.
Kalura looked at it, her eyes widened, she said "That is Ravina Synara."
Yoda asked "How do you know that?"
Kalura said "My full name is Kalura Ravina Synara."
Yoda said "She was your mother."
Kalura said "My mother was on the run and then she abandoned me when I was 5, now I know why, she tried to protect me leaving me out of the life of the Sith only to find my own back in I guess, the daughter is just like the Mother."
Yoda said "The choice you made was different, that counts."
Kalura said "Thanks, I will lure her out and we will catch her hopefully she will go peacefully."
Kalura gave him her cloak.
Kalura walked over holding to the spaceport.
She asked the Portmaster "Have you seen a woman who looked like this?"
The Portmaster asked "Why are you asking?"
She said "She is my mother."
The Portmaster said "She is over there, you should hurry she is leaving shortly."
Kalura ran over saw her mother standing there.
She walked over and shouted "Mother!"
Her mother turned around and looked at a few moment then her eyes widened.
Ravina smiled and ran over, she said "It's good to see you my daughter."
Kalura said "It's good to see you too."
Ravina looked at her eyes, She said "Oh no you are like me."
Kalura said "I am not a Sith I just was an apprentice for 3 years before I changed paths."
Ravina said "Why are you here and why do you have a lightsaber if you are not a Sith?"
Kalura said "I'm sorry mother." She pulled out her lightsaber and turned it on.
Ravina said "So you are a Jedi, then you know why you are here." Yoda ran out to help.
Ravina said "So you are still in training."
Kalura replied "Come peacefully please I don't want to hurt you."
Ravina said "I won't be put in a cell."
Ravina pulled out a 2 sided lightsaber and started to attack Kalura. Kalura exchanged blows with Kalura but Kalura was winning the fight. Yoda jumped in and tried to help her fight. However She stuck Yoda away with Force Lightning. Kalura said "One last chance surrender, mother."
Ravina said "No, I won't be imprisoned."
Kalura said "Sorry mother, I will capture you." Kalura started to fight her she kept swinging deflecting everyone of her mother's blows. Kalura then chopped off her mother's hand.
Kalura told her "Surrender before you are hurt anymore."
Ravina threw her Lightsaber at Yoda who was still stunned from the force lightning.
Kalura couldn't stop it with the force, Ravina's force was strong enough to prevent her from stopping it completely. "
Kalura there herself in front of her master was struck in the belly, she could feel the injury.
Yoda finally recovered and looked at her.
Yoda said "This is my fault I should have stayed back and let you handle this, maybe my age is getting to me." Yoda tried to help her up.
Kalura said "I am fine and your not getting old, you are only 200 I'm sure you have another 500-700 years in you."
Yoda said "Let's get you home."
Kalura said "I will not let her go." Kalura ran after her mother despite her injury. Her mother's ship had escaped the planet's gravity.
Yoda said "She has left the planet's Gravity."
Kalura said "No I will stop my mother here."
In space Ravina said laughing "We just escaped the planet's gravity, they can't chase us here."
Then the ship jerked. The 2 pilots looked shocked.
They shouted "The ship is being pulled towards the planet!"
Ravina shouted "WHAT!"
On the planet Kalura was pulling the spaceship back toward the planet, she pulled the ship back to the Spaceport.
Yoda stood by Kalura as she pulled the ship down. Ravina grabbed a blaster and started firing with her off hand. Yoda deflected the laser shots. When the ship landed Yoda jumped onto the ship and captured Ravina.
Kalura and Yoda returned to the Jedi Temple in Coruscant.
When they return with Ravina. The Jedi Council give the order and several troops put her in a cell.
The Council asked "What happened to your apprentice?"
Yoda said "She got in the way of an attack meant for me, I made a mistake. She was already winning the fight I should have stayed back and watched."
Kalura said "I should have been more careful please don't blame my master."
The Jedi Council said "You both completed your mission and captured the Sith Lord, that is the main concern just be more careful in the future."
3 weeks passed, Kalura had fully recovered from her injury.
Yoda asked "You have been troubled in your sleep. What is wrong?"
Kalura said "I have been having doubts about being Jedi of you for a while now."
Yoda asked "Why are you having Misgivings, I remembered the day you first arrived, you wanted help alleviating the darkness from within."
Kalura said "I have released the darkness won't leave me, it is part of me now I feel that I can't be a Jedi, you tell me to stop feeling emotion and it stings, I feel robotic. I feel like "I am losing the feeling of life and while I try to be like you Jedi I can barely lift a pebble, it feels like I am losing the ability to use the force when I restrain my emotions. I got injured because I was trying to be a Jedi restraining my emotions, when I pulled the ship down I let down my Jedi restraint, my emotions could flow and could feel the force again then I directed my emotions and pulled the ship down."
Yoda said "If you want to leave you can I won't stop you, you understand you won't be able to come back if you do this."
Kalura said "Forgive me master but I don't have what it takes to be a Jedi."
Kalura grabbed what she needed from her room. She put her lightsaber down. She ran into the prison. She used the force knock out several guards. She broke open a cell.
Ravina asked "What are you doing?"
Kalura said "Mother I am no Jedi nor am I a Sith I will create a new path and I would like you to be with me."
Ravina said "I will you are my family after all." Kalura and Ravina snuck out of the Prison and grabbed a ship.
Kalura said "We are heading to Felucia, it is place where we may be able to make some money as bounty hunters there would quite a few jobs."
Ravina said "You will have to do them, I can't do much with 1 hand."
Kalura said "I know." When they landed they looked for a place with a bounty hunt. Kalura grabbed a job, she said "This is a job from Mama and Papa the Hutt. It said (Our Son Ziro has been Kidnapped by a Sith Lord Darth Plagueis, he agreed to meeting on Ryloth for discussing Ransom terms.)"
Kalura said "We will bring him back."
Kalura and Ravina arrived on Ryloth.
Kalura said "Mum stay here, you need to stay in the ship. We may need to leave fast."
Ravina said "Please be careful."
She let the ship looked around and headed to the darker parts of Ryloth, when she got there she saw a man wearing a black cloak, with a little Hutt by his side. Many looked in awe at him waiting outside a shop saying Mama and Papa the Hutt will pay me for their son. Kalura snuck up and grabbed the young Hutt. The man wearing the black cloak said "How dare you try to steal from me, Darth Plagueis."
Kalura said "I will return him to his parents."
Plagueis said "I won't let you."
Plagueis pulled out his red responded activating her lightsaber in kind. Plagueis said "So you are a Jedi."
Kalura said "I am an ex-apprentice of both the light and dark."
Plagueis said "You escaped the darkness."
Kalura said "I was trained first by Darth Plaris and then I was trained by Yoda."
Plagueis said "Yoda is a quite skilled Jedi, Plaris on the other hand was a joke of a Sith Lord, he couldn't even choke a rat."
Kalura swung at him slamming into his lightsaber.
Plagueis said "Alright fine let's start." He pushed back. Kalura threw a a garbage disposal until at him. Plagueis used force lightning to try to hurt Kalura she blocked it with her hand. She ran at him and chopped his hand off. The sound of running and several guards attacked. Kalura grabbed Ziro and ran to the ship. She jumped into the ship.
Kalura said "Mother hold him."
Ravina asked "Why?"
Kalura responded "The authorities are going to capture us soon we need to go." Ravina nodded. Kalura strapped in and flew the ship off the planet. Several ships gave chase.
Kalura said "We must head to Tatooine, that is where we must return the boy."
Ravina said "What about them."
Kalura said "They wouldn't dare enter Hutt space." As their ship neared Tatooine Karula was proven correct, the pursuers gave up. Karula landed near the palace. Karula and Ravina entered the palace. Mama and Papa the Hutt were very upset.
Karula said "We have got your son back." Mama and Papa the Hutt were overjoyed that their son was back. Mama and Papa the Hutt gave them the Bounty. They were about to leave when.
Mama the Hutt called out "Do you want to join us for lunch, we are eternally grateful for you've done."
Karula said "Thank you for the offer but I have a lot to do such as getting my mum a new hand."
Mama the Hutt said "We can make your mother a new hand, free of charge we can't ever repay you for bringing our son back."
When Karula joined them while waiting for her mother.
Karula asked "Do you know of a material strong enough to resit lightsaber strikes, I have been stabbed once which is a incident that I do not wish to repeat."
Mama said "Mandalorian Iron is such a material, we can make you a suit of armour."
Karula asked "Could you also make me a sword? The lightsaber is Jedi or a Sith's weapon, I need something to distinguish me and my mother from the Jedi and the Sith."
Mama said "Sure we can, you saved our son." Mama sent a message to her blacksmiths, which started forging a suit of armour as well as a sword made from Mandalorian Iron."
Mama asked "So what do you plan to do after this?"
Karula said "Starts a new organisation of force users separate from both the Jedi and the Sith."
Mama said "That is interesting plan, well I guess you will need a banner and a large building to support the large number of people you will have in the future."
Her mother just came out and took a seat.
Karula asked "How's the new hand?"
Ravina said "It is good."
Mama asked "So how did she lose her hand?"
Karula smiled "It was not that long ago when I left the Jedi organisation."
Ravina said "I am an Ex-Sith Lord and she is an ex-Jedi apprentice."
Mama said "So you two fought."
Karula said pointing to her stomach "Yep, I chopped off her hand and she stabbed me here." Ravina and Karula started laughing. Mama and Papa laughed with them.
The next morning the suit of Mandalorian armour and sword was ready. Mama and Papa showed her the grey brown armour with a sword and shield.
Mama said "Do you like what we made for you."
Karula said "Thanks I really like it especially the shield which I didn't even ask for, still it's missing something I know. It would work better in a shade of black."
Karula infused the armour with dark force, turning it all a dark shade of black.
Karula said "This looks good."
Ravina said "Don't it will corrupt you, I know."
Karula said "have some faith in me, I can handle it.
Karula put the armour on, she then lifted the sword and shield. A white glow surrounded the black armour, shield and sword.
Karula said "Thank you for your help Mama and Papa the Hutt."
Mama and Papa the Hutt said "You saved our son it is no trouble at all."
Kalura said "Me and my mother have a lot of work to do, thank you for everything I will gladly invite you over once my organisation gets fully built up."
They leave Planet Tatooine and returned to Felucia they met with a merchant selling a large building that was abandoned.
Kalura put a large bag of money on the table, She asked "Is this enough for this building?"
The Merchant said "Thank you, I am glad you purchased this building, no-one wants to buy this building because of it's distance from the city."
Kalura said "Even better it mean we will draw less attention." They shake hands and the Merchant give them the deed then leaves with the money.
Ravina said "This place is finely furnished."
Kalura walked down and found a large damp basement. Ravina walked down to see it. Kalura said smiling "This would be a great place for a training room."
Ravina asked "So how are we going to find more people to join our organisation?"
Kalura said "Well 2 things first we need a banner on our building to get it recognised and 2 we need to fix the basement and turn it into a training room."
10 years past the building was built up and Kalura had taught Ravina everything she knew. The building had several banners with a black sword and shield contained in a white light.
Several students sat there in front of Kalura and Ravina.
Kalura said "Welcome to the Force Knights, all of you will do well here as you remember our mantra, darkness is not evil but it must be you in control for good to flourish."
