A.N. Hey guys. I'm the magician or at least that's what I am calling myself for the time being. This is my first time ever writing a story and I did it solely because this pairing just doesn't exist. The pairing is going to be a M!JKxLanaxKira. So, yes it's a multi. If you don't like that then... I'm really not sure why you even clicked on this story. The pairing was very apparent. Also I like Star Wars but I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to technology so when I don't know the name of the material they use for armor or I get something wrong let me know and I will either change it or we'll just pretend this is an AU which it eventually will be.

P.S I have never written a story before as I said so I would really appreciate if I could get some constructive feedback on my writing. When I say constructive tell me why something was bad not just "it was bad". That doesn't help me to become better.

P.P.S I don't like writing fighting scenes. I prefer to just write the dialogues between characters so if the fighting scenes are really weak I am sorry. If someone is really good at writing fighting scenes and would like to co-author this with me I would be totally down for that. Just send me a p.m.

So with that really long AN out of the way lets begin the story of Kalrin and the Eternal Alliance.

Chapter 1: Suicidal Rescue Mission

Kalrin has been known by many a title over his journey. Some called him the Hero of Tython, while others called him Battlemaster. Some called him the emperor killer, well they did until they emperor returned and destroyed all of Ziost, but all that would pale in comparison to what two very special ladies, Kira Carsen and Lana Beniko, got to call him. Kira, his wife, and Lana, a newly acquired lover. Kalrin fought in many battles over his lifetime as a Jedi and found himself in many precarious situations but none so precarious as this. Trapped in a carbonite prison by the son of the emperor, and tormented by the emperor himself who has taken up residence in his head. While trapped in the endless dream state, Kalrin thought back onto how he got himself into this situation.

"This won't be a long stop, but we should restock whatever supplies we can," said Kalrin.

"Fuel, food, and fun coming right up. Just be sure to remember whose ship we're on. 'Truce' doesn't mean we can't keep our eyes open."

"Everyone knows what's at stack, what the mission is about. No one would try anything to jeopardize that with the stakes being what they are Kira. Besides, I thought Lana would have changed your mind by now on the Sith."

"Hey I trust Lana, and I trust you, but I don't trust the Sith. Backstabbing is too inclined into their nature. Where is Lana by the way?"

"She's back on the imperial fleet trying to gather more forces on both sides to help combat the emperor. Saresh isn't making it easy for her and tensions between the two have always been high. She handles diplomacy with the Republic and Jedi very well I would say, well at least as well as it could be. I was a little surprised by that, but I guess she does have the special something that makes you like her, even if you don't know what it is."

Kalrin paused as he chuckled at his words, hearing Kira join in herself in the laughter. When they were done he continued on.

"I trust Darth Marr too. He reminds me a lot of myself actually. Maybe that's why we get along so well. Anyways be prepared for takeoff I'll be back soon."

'I lied to Kira. I hate lying to Kira. Now she's probably worried sick and I can't help by reassuring I'm alive through the bond because of this stupid carbonite,' Kalrin thought to himself.

"Ahh love, what a fickle and… frivolous thing. I'll never understand why you even bother with it. You could be stronger if you let them go and focused on training yourself instead."

Kal looked to his side to see Valkorion, the emperor himself, had reappeared in front of him.

"That's rich coming from the guy who sired two sons and a daughter it looked like."

"Merely a means to an end," Valkorion said, waving off his point. "Love is useless and it will be the death of you. Trust me, I know from experience. Don't say I didn't warn you."

"And why would you care? I would think you would rather enjoy seeing me dead."

Valkorion nodded in agreement before saying, "Under different circumstances I would have but now my survival hinges on yours and I will do whatever I must to keep you alive."

"Wow the big bad emperor Vitiate is going to keep me safe? Or is it Valkorion? I never know what to call you considering how many lives you seem to live." Kalrin said in disgust before he continued on. "Do me a favor, if it's a choice between having you save me and me dying, let me die okay?"

Just then a blinding light started erupting all over the dream sequence world.

"Hmmm… maybe love does have its purpose at times."

"What does that mean Valkorion?"

Silence ensued as Valkorion faded back out of existence.

"Valkorion? Valkorion!"

The blinding light was taking over every corner of the world and was fast approaching Kalrin.

"Great, let's hope whatever this is doesn't try to kill me too," Kal said aloud to himself.

"Don't try to move. You're dying. I may have your cure, but I'm not going to lie. This will hurt… a lot… sorry love," said a feminine voice.

Kalrin then experienced what felt like magma flowing through his veins. His blood ran hot and it felt like his was going to melt from within. Even after all of the injuries he had sustained over the years he thought this might have hurt the worst of all of them. He let out a blood curdling scream.

"That wasn't quite so bad," said the voice.

Kalrin looked up from the floor, his vision clearing, and was finally able to take a good look at who it was that had helped him.

"Lana, it's really you? Thank the force, you don't know how glad I am to see you."

"Probably not as happy as I am to finally see you once again," Lana said, a smile on her face as she reached out to pull Kal to his feet. "Get ready we don't have time to wait around. I may have saved you from the carbonite poisoning but we still have to get out of here alive or this whole plan was for naught."

Just then Kalrin heard a very familiar droid beep.

"Vault guards = arriving / Lana + Kalrin = get ready!" said the droid.

"T7! Boy am I glad to see you," Kal said.

"T7 glad = see Jedi / Jedi = still in danger! / Everyone = still in danger!"

"Why? What's happening?" he asked.

"The Empire and Republic have all but fallen to the man who imprisoned you. You're our last hope," Lana said cutting in.

Just then the blast doors opened behind them and three Skytroopers came flooding into the vault, guns firing. Lana turned on her purple lightsaber and effortlessly deflected the blaster bolts back into two of the Skytroopers destroying them. The third one she sent a lightning bolt at and while it was stunned walked up and cut in clean in half with her lightsaber. Kal just stood there watching her work, before commenting on the change in her lightsaber he noticed.

"See, I knew a purple crystal would be a good choice for you."

"Yes yes. You can gloat about how amazing you and your tastes are later. For now, come on, we have to get you out of here."

"Wait what about T7?" Kal asked, concerned about leaving his friend behind.

"He'll be fine, we'll meet up with him later. He's going to hack into the mainframe and cause trouble with their servers. Setting off alarms everywhere. Should hopefully keep them distracted long enough for us to make our escape," Lana answered.

Kalrin drew his lightsaber and ignited it watching the blue blade with a black core come to life.

"At least my lightsaber is still working."

Kalrin and Lana weaved their way down the corridor working in tandem to destroy any Skytroopers they came across along the way.

"Lana what kind of prison is this?" asked Kalrin after taking note of his surroundings and noticing that the area didn't seem like a prison.

"It's not a prison. This is where Arcann keeps all his most prized possessions."

"Possessions?" Kal asked surprised.

"Yes, it seems you're special to someone else besides me," Lana said a little flirtatiously before focusing once again. "Come on, we need to keep moving"

After traveling for a little while Kalrin and Lana came across a large blast door.

"I've got the door," Lana said.

She reached out her right hand and began using the force to lift the large door open. She had almost gotten it open, but it was proving to be more difficult then she realized, and the door snapped back shut on itself. She was about to curse when her comm link started beeping.

"Yes?" asked Lana.

"An updated timetable would be good," came a male voice Kal didn't recognize.

"Why? Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem… but we are starting to feel a bit exposed out here. You find the Outlander yet?" asked the male.

"Yes. I've patched him in."

"Great. I'm Koth Vortena. Welcome to the most suicidal rescue mission in history. Hope you're everything Lana said you were."

"You talked me up Lana? I'm blushin," Kal said sarcastically.

"Yeah yeah, make your jokes you ass, but we both know you're as good as I've said and then some. Be patient Koth, we're on our way and be prepared for a fast extraction," Lana said before closing off the connection. "Koth will fly us out of here just as soon as we get through this door."

Just then the console next to them started beeping. They looked over to see it was showing a video feed of the cell Kalrin had been trapped in. There was a woman standing there with a Knight of Zakuul. Kalrin looked at her and realized he recognized her.

"Wait, I've seen her before."

"No…"

They went back to looking at the screen. There was no audio feed, but they could see her talking with the knight when she suddenly snapped his neck with the force. Kalrin recoiled back slightly. The quick kill of her own men, no hesitation, no mercy. Kalrin had been brutal before, when he needed too, but he also made sure to show mercy when the situation warranted it. Kalrin could tell right in that moment that the woman was not one to show mercy, ever.

'Yeah, she's definitely the emperor's daughter.'

The woman then looked up above her and noticed the camera staring at her. Kalrin used the controls to zoom the feed in where they could see the woman say something before, she destroyed the camera, ripping it out of its socket with the force.

"We're not ready. Not for Vaylin," Lana said sounding worried.

"There's two of us and one of her, we can take her Lana," Kal said, the confidence oozing from his voice.

"Not with you the way you are now, you're still injured from the improper carbonite freezing. Even at full strength I believe you would struggle to take Vaylin on. Her strength in the force is astounding, even for who her family is. And If I was there, I would just slow you down as you would constantly be forced to switch between trying to guard me and being on the offensive against her. It would be over before it even began."

Kalrin realized that Lana did have a point. He could still feel the aches all over his body and his movements had been sluggish so far in the fights. Far beyond the level he normally operates at and while Lana was an exceptionally talented fighter and Sith, she wasn't the most powerful. She could put up a good fight no doubt, but a two on one advantage only works when both fighters are more than able to hold their own against their opponent.

"Alright so no fighting Vaylin," he relented. "We should probably get out of here before she catches up. Do you want some help with the door?"

"Don't overexert yourself, we still have a long way to go and I can handle the door thank you very much," said Lana sounding a little uppity.

Lana then reached with both her hands and channeled the force ripping the door open long enough for both to run through before the door shut behind them.

"Wasn't trying to imply you couldn't," Kalrin said holding his hands up in a mock surrender pose. "Was just seeing if you wanted assistance." He then noticed the mirth swimming through Lana's eyes.

"I know," Lana said chuckling. "I just like to keep you on your toes is all."

Kal stared at her, mouth wide open. "I have faced down the emperor and yet somehow you're scarier."

"As it should be love, now lets get mov-"

Before Lana could finish her sentence more Skytroopers came running down the corridor lighting up the corridor with their blaster fire.

Both dove to the side for cover. Kalrin looked over the box he was behind towards the Skytroopers.

"I count ten of them," he said before getting a fun idea. "I bet I can kill more of them than you can."

"Kal this is really not the-"

"Ahh I see the illustrious Lana Beniko fears a bet," Kal said interrupting her. "Afraid to be bested by a Jedi?"

"Alright, you're on," Lana said determined.

Afterwards she got this intense and focused look to her eyes. Her eyes, which were colored yellow by her corruption to the dark side, narrowed as they focused in on their target. Kalrin saw the look she got and shivered slightly.

'I've created a monster, haven't I?' he thought.

Kal ignited his lightsaber and rolled over the box and started rushing towards the droids. Deflecting blaster bolts along the way into the ceiling and ground purposely not reflecting them back into the Skytroopers. If he was going to take them out, he wanted to do it in style. He approached the first Skytrooper and slid under the blaster fire and straight through the Skytroopers legs, cutting the droid in half as he was going by.

'That's one.'

He then looked forward and saw three more Skytroopers in front of him in a triangle formation. He used the force to push the nearest Skytrooper over. Kalrin ran towards it as it was falling however and proceed to use its body as a ramp. Launching himself into the air he went straight for the other two troopers standing side by side. Blaster bolts were raining in behind him as the droids missed their shots. Kalrin landed in a crouched position as he heard two bodies hit the floor behind him. He could see their helmets rolling on the floor after he cut cleanly through both. He turned around to see Lana standing their arms crossed.

*Yawn*

"Oh sorry, I was just bored waiting for you to finish playing around, since I took care of my SIX Skytroopers before you took out your four," Lana said emphasizing the six.

"Yeah but I did it in style so that's worth like double points. Thereby the final score is Kalrin eight and Lana six. Ooooh," Kal said raising his hand to his mouth, "so sorry Lana but it looks like I win this round."

Lana scoffed and looked away to the side, but she couldn't help the smile that crept onto her face.

"You're so full of it," Lana said lovingly.

"You're just now finding this out?"

"Come on we got to keep moving before Vaylin catches up to us."

As they continued running down the corridors trying to escape from the facility their comms started beeping again. Koth came on the line.

"I hope you're not too close yet," he said.

"Why? What's happening?" asked Lana.

"Oh it's nothing I can't handle but we need to move the pickup."

Over the line the sound of blaster fire and explosions could be heard going off.

"Koth, am I hearing blaster fire in the background?" asked Lana.

"Its fine, I got it covered," Koth said trying to wave off the worry evident in Lana's voice.

"We don't have time for this," she said.

"Well, if I land now, I'll be shot to pieces. So just think of it as a personal favor to me, huh? Duck through another tower and I'll find you."

Kalrin finally felt like it was the opportune moment to speak up.

"I can tell that this plan to rescue me was thought out very well."

"Oh, I just love the sarcasm. Always love our little excursions Lana. Be back with you shortly," Koth said before cutting off the communicator.

"So… how well exactly do you know Koth?" Kal asked Lana.

"Do you really think now is the time for this?" Lana said crossing her arms and starring at Kal.

"What?" he asked. "I merely asked a question."

An alarm suddenly started ringing and they felt the building shake slightly.

"It's Vaylin," said Lana. "We have to keep moving."

The two of them stepped on an elevator as it began to descend. Lana was just staring at Kalrin.

"What now? Is it about the Koth question cause-" Kal started before he was cut off by Lana.

"It's… good to see you. I've missed you," Lana said sweetly.

"I have a million questions right now," said Kal.

"I know and I promise to answer them all in due time-"

Right then the fighter Koth was piloting flew by the glass and behind it were two more fighters attempting to shoot him down.

"-but the answers will have to wait."

The elevator stopped at its destination and the two exited into a research lab of some sort. They fought their way through it to the entrance encountering minimal resistance along the way. As they stepped outside a Zakuul Ground Assault Walker dropped out of the sky.

"OH, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" screamed Kal.

"See I told you you were special. They don't send in a walker for just anybody," said Lana.

"Well how do we take it down?" Kal asked.

"The armor coating on the legs makes it lightsaber resistant. We can't cut the legs off and topple it."

The two ran for cover as it began opening fire on them with its cannons. Kal looked at his surroundings and noticed that if you fell off the bridge it was a very long drop to the bottom.

'Oh this is such a bad idea. She's going to be so mad at me when this is done," he thought.

"I have a plan. I'm going to need you to shoot some lightning at it. Try to get his controls locked up or at the very least distract him for a little."

"Why do I get the feeling that I am not going to like this plan?" she said aloud to herself.

"Ready?" he asked, ignoring her previous comment. "On three. Three, two, one, go!"

Lana stood up and began to focus the force through her fingertips and purple lightning began shooting out and hitting the walker. The lightning had the intended effect as the walker began looking around randomly as the gears were locking up and the motors were running on their own without commands. Before the pilots could reset the system, Kal reached out with the force and gripped the walker. Lifting it just a few inches off the ground he began floating it towards the side of the bridge. Kal was already beginning to sweat and he could feel his body aching.

"KAL STOP!"

Lana had gotten so distracted by the fact that Kal was hurting himself to lift this thing that she stopped shooting lightning at the walker. Kal seeing that the walker's systems were now coming back online attempted to force push the walker off the edge. Before he could though he fell to one knee as the pain was starting to become overwhelming. Kal looked up to see Lana looking over worried at him and noticed that the walker was functioning yet again and it's cannons were aimed at Lana.

'Lana's not going to notice in time to get out of the way.'

Kal rose back up to his feet and started channeling all the force he could.

'Come on, come on. Don't fail me now.'

Mustering all he had Kal pushed out one last force push onto the walker. The walker got knocked backwards and fell over the edge but not before firing off a shot. The shot impacted the ground in front of Lana, creating an explosion and putting smoke into the air.

"Lana! Lana!"

Kal couldn't see her through the smoke and began to suspect the worse.

'No, no, no. Come on you have to be alive. Tell me I knocked it out of the way in time. Please, I'm begging you.'

Kal then began to see movement through the smoke and saw Lana rushing towards him.

'Oh thank the force.'

Kal looked over Lana and saw that while her armor was slightly singed she was unharmed. When Lana got in front of him she was prepared to slap him until Kalrin fell over. Luckily, Lana was quick enough to react and grabbed him before he could hit the floor.

"You idiot! What were you thinking! You could have killed yourself with a stupid move like that!"

Kal noticed that even though she was angry he could see what looked like a tear starting to form in her eye. He reached up to wipe it from her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you."

"Don't you understand how much your life means to m- to the galaxy. Without you the galaxy is doomed. You ever do something like that again and I swear I will kill you myself. Clear?"

Kal steadied himself and stood upright.

"Crystal," he answered, giving a mock salute.

"Good, then lets move," Lana said.

Lana and Kal began running across the bridge. In the distance Kal could see T7 slicing into a terminal near the door in front of them. As they arrived at the door T7 was able to successfully slice in and open the door. As they were entering Kal looked behind him and saw Vaylin standing where they had been when they were fighting the walker before the doors slammed shut in front of him.

Across the way Vaylin watched as the Outlander and his accomplice disappeared into the Skytrooper droid factory.

"Not the way I would have picked," said Vaylin aloud to herself.

She looked over to her left and saw the sun reactor and she came up with an idea. Vaylin took the casing at the bottom of the reactor and crumpled it using the force before she lifted the pieces and threw them at the factory.

The whole building began to shake around Kal and Lana.

"What the hell is happening?" asked Kal.

"It's Vaylin. She'll tear down the whole city if she has too to get to you," answered Lana.

Koth then popped back in over the comms.

"Lana? Are my scanners glitched or did you just charge headfirst into a Skytrooper droid factory?"

"Vaylin's right behind us. We're out of options!"

"This is Altair Three all over again…"

"We can handle a few droids, come on," Kal said charging head on into the heart of the droid factory.

After a decent amount of time and a lot of dismantled droids Lana and Kal reached the reactor room. When they entered, they heard a technician yelling off orders to her subordinates.

"It's going to rupture! Sound the evacuation, get everybody out! Ten blocks in every direction!"

Out of nowhere one of the electrical panels ruptured and shocked a technician working near it killing him. The rest of the technicians ran for their lives.

"There's nothing more we can do here, we need to leave now!" Lana told Kal.

"Don't you dare!" Yelled Koth cutting into the conversation. "If that thing ruptures its going to kill thousands around it. You can still shut it down, the people will be without power but you can still save their lives."

"Don't you understand? This is how far they are willing to go to stop you. We need to get you off world right now!" Lana said trying to persuade him to abandon the reactor.

"I'm sorry Lana. I can't just abandon all these people to die. We have to stop this reactor from exploding."

Lana knew she wouldn't be able to change his mind so she merely said, "I hope you know what you're doing."

"So do I," he said.

Kal ran around the reactor room rerouting power to ventilation ports and the main console. Kal was messing around on the main console trying to find a way to shut the reactor down.

"Hurry!" demanded Lana.

"Relax, we'll get through this just fine."

Kal was still trying to figure out how to shut down the reactor when the console overloaded and the screen exploded.

"Well relaxing doesn't seem to have worked so well, so now what do you propose to do?" she said rather sarcastically.

"Whatever I can."

Kal remained calm as he scanned the room looking for whatever he could to assist him in shutting down the reactor when an alarm started going off.

"Warning: Catastrophic reactor failure imminent. Warning: Catastrophic reactor failure imminent."

"That's it I'm taking you with me even if I have to knock you out and drag you."

'Well, time for a shot in the dark.'

Kal saw the power tubes that were behind the main console he had been working on connected to the reactor. Kal brought out his lightsaber and slashed the tubes destroying them. This created a minor shock wave however blasting him backwards and forcing Lana to dive to the side to avoid the blast.

"Reactor shut down sequence initiated. Warning: Grid integrity at risk."

Lana walked over and extended her arm to help Kal get back up. Once he was upright, she went off on him.

"Damn you and your stubbornness! How many times must you gamble with your life and the fate of the galaxy in one day before you are satisfied?"

"You were worried, weren't you?" Kal said rather happy.

"I'm not in the mood for games anymore. We are leaving now! No more distractions," Lana said angrily.

Kal and Lana arrived at the rendezvous coordinates. With the reactor being offline all of the city was dark or running on emergency generators.

"The dark should help with our escape," said Kal.

"Not as much as a massive explosion would have." Lana raised her wrist communicator to her mouth. "Koth, where are you?"

"We ran into sort of a… maintenance issue."

Kal noted that he could hear an explosion going off in the background of the call.

"We have a workaround though, just give us like… three minutes?"

"We'll be here Koth." Kal said before ending the call. "So Lana, not that I would ever doubt you, but this is the guy you got to help rescue me?"

"It may not seem like it but Koth's reliable and he's been there for me ever since…"

Lana didn't finish her sentence but Kal knew where she was going with it.

"I'm sorry Lana, truly. I didn't mean to leave you or Kira. Where is Kira? I thought for sure she would have been the first to volunteer to help break me out of Arcann's grasp."

"Kira… she-"

Before Lana could finish Skytroopers started flying in and landing all around their position.

"Three minutes, should be easy enough," Kal said igniting his lightsaber.

Five minutes later there were various droid parts scattered across the landing zone. One was still barely functional and was crawling across the ground for its gun. Kal noticed this and walked over to it before he stomped on its head and destroyed the droid.

"Koth come in, where are you?"

"I'm here. We'll be there. Just give me another… three minutes?"

As he said that two Knights of Zakuul landed in front of Lana and Kal.

The taller and broader Knight spoke first.

"Outlander! You are guilty of assassinating the Immortal Emperor, and of evading imprisonment!"

His smaller leaner compatriot spoke next saying, "We demand your immediate surrender!"

"So are these guys more like Sith or Jedi?" Kal asked Lana, not to concerned about the two people in front of him.

"To them the force is an instrument to be used to bring people to justice. Nothing more nothing less," answered Lana.

"Huh… interesting view point."

"Stop talking and surrender at once Outlander or we will take you down by force," stated the taller Knight.

"You're treading on dangerous waters right now Knight. It's very dangerous to be my enemy. I'm giving you one chance to back away," Kal said after growing tired of hearing the two Knights.

"Fine you leave me no choice. We will take you by force," said the taller one.

Saying so the Knights pulled out their lightsaber pikes and ignited them. A blue color, often used by the Jedi, came out of the pikes. Lana pulled out and ignited her purple lightsaber while Kal pulled out his signature black/blue lightsaber.

Kal moved over to engage the taller Knight while Lana went to engage the shorter leaner one.

The Knight charged Kal trying to stab him through with the pike but Kal easily deflected the attack. The Knight then tried varying attacks, but he was slow and his form sloppy. Kal had no problem deflecting them all. Seeing as his opponent didn't seem to be a threat Kal went on the offensive. He began raining down blow after blow, hammering away at the Knight's pike. Eventually he was able to knock the pike out of the Knight's hands. Seeing as he had no weapon the knight opted to retreat. He jumped backwards using the force and landed on a balcony above the landing zone.

"Tanek! Run! We'll fight another day!" screamed the larger Knight. He ran off without checking to see if his friend was following.

Meanwhile Lana was winning her duel against the smaller Knight, now known as Tanek. She had disarmed him and was now proceeding to force choke him.

"You Knights. You're never taught to properly channel your anger," she said. It was easy to see she was having fun playing with the Knight. Lana looked to her side at Kal and implored through her eyes that she wanted to kill the Knight but wouldn't do so without his approval.

"You're free to do as you want Lana, I won't stop you," Kal said looking at her before he turned to look at the Knight. "I gave you guys the chance to back away. It's your fault you didn't listen to me."

Lana then got a grin on her face as she finished force choking the Knight by snapping his neck, killing him instantly.

Immediately following that the platform began to shake all around them and parts and pieces were falling all over the place. They tried to make a run for the walkway, but the walkway gave out and fell to the city below. They turned around and watched as Vaylin stalked toward them, like the cat who knows they have the mouse cornered.

"Vaylin," snarled Lana.

"I don't know you, but I know you Outlander."

"I'll hold her off as long as I can. The first chance you get, go," said Lana as she grabbed and ignited her lightsaber.

"I'm not leaving you on your own Lana," Kal said walking up next to her, lightsaber already in hand. "We leave together or not at all."

Lana scoffed and turned her head slightly to look at Kal while still keeping Vaylin within her vision. "Why do you have to be so stubborn all the time," she said. "Can't you just listen to me for once?"

"As much as I would love to listen to this lover's quarrel, I would rather be killing someone so let's get on with that shall we?" Vaylin said, interrupting the two's quarrel.

Before Vaylin could do anything a ship rose from where the walkway had fallen behind Kal and Lana.

Koth came over the speaker. "I got this! Go! Get on board!"

Koth started firing the machine gun like twin cannons on board the ship at Vaylin. Vaylin ripped of a piece of the platform and used it as a shield for the incoming laser blasts. Kal and Lana used the distraction to jump onto the lowered boarding ramp of the ship. As they got on board Vaylin chucked the piece of the platform she had been using for cover at the ship. She hit one of the engines damaging it badly.

"Hang on I'm getting us out of here," Koth said.

Koth blasted off into the skyline of Zakuul. Lana rushed over to Kal. Before he could ask what was wrong, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hard. The kiss didn't last more than a few seconds, but it was enough for him to pick up just how much she missed him.

"What you did was stupid," she said lowly, her eyes showing she wasn't happy. They then took on a lighter tone and she reached out with her hand, caressing his face. "Incredibly sweet, but stupid. You're life has far more meaning than mine."

"Not to me it doesn't," replied Kal with a steadfast determination and with a look in his eye that told Lana they weren't going to argue over this.

Kal could tell Lana was relenting when he heard her sigh. "Fine, but you have to let me protect you, and you need to realize how important you are to saving the galaxy. Far more important than anyone's life, including mine."

"Lana," growled out Kal.

Lana gave him one more short but sweet kiss as a means to placate him.

"I know. Sorry love but you don't understand what's happened, everything that you have missed."

"What have I-"

But before he could finish an alarm started going off.

"Uh oh. We have engine trouble, Vaylin must of damaged it when she hit the ship." Koth yelled to the lovers entangled in the back.

"Can you get us out of here?" Kal yelled back.

"I'm trying I just need… Uh oh."

"What now?" asked Kal.

"Guns are locked on, hang on!" Koth said.

The turbolaser defense batteries scattered around the 'prison' that Kal was being held in came online and started firing at the ship. One hit the bottom of the hull and the ship shook. Kal and Lana had broken apart and were standing behind Koth in the cockpit now.

"Get us out of here!" yelled Lana.

"I'm trying to!" responded Koth.

The guns suddenly powered down however when they received a message from a familiar face.

"Guns = offline / T7 = start new mission"

Kal gave out a laugh. "Thanks little buddy. You always seem to have my back"

"T7 help = Jedi / T7 = glad" responded T7.

"Thank you T7, we owe you one," said Lana giving her appreciation.

Koth started flying the ship out of the Zakuul city centers and away to the more rural parts of Zakuul.

"As much as I appreciate the rescue, and I truly do Lana, I had a whole team of people with me. Where are they? Why did only you and T7 show up?" Kal asked wanting to know where his crew was.

"I can only tell you as much as I know Kal."

"Better get started. It's going to be a short trip, and you've got five years of galactic hell to cover."

"Five years… but that's… wait Lana, where's Kira?"

Lana looked down sheepishly not wanting to look into his eyes.

"Lana, where is Kira!"

AN: And with that the first chapter is done coming in at a little over 5000 (more now with the rewrite) words ignoring the AN's! Woohoo you made it all the way to the end. Hopefully it wasn't terrible all the way through. I'm hoping there was a few good parts. I just wanted to let you know that I don't have a set release schedule for this yet. Right now I am just doing this for fun so I will try to upload often just don't expect one everyday is what I am saying. So please review cause I really need to know how I can improve my writing and my story. Oh and if anyone would be interested in being a beta let me know. I went through and proofread it myself but I am sure I missed something and its always better to have another set of eyes on something. Until next time bye guys.

AN 2: I will periodically go back and rewrite chapters slightly to improve them as a I gain more knowledge and skills when it comes to writing. Hopefully this version should be a lot better and help to retain the readers and not put them off.
