A/N: If my original character Kairi was in the Jedi Fallen Order game, I would have her voiced by Stephanie Sheh. She voice acts in anime, but I know her as the voice of Hinata Hyuga/Uzumaki, Rin Nohara and even the Viz Media dub version of Usagi Tsukino!

Chapter Four: The Great Escape

5 Years Ago… Three Weeks Later After the Purge...

"You've always appreciated my voice, Prauf." Kairi responded after she put away her guitar when Prauf walked in to see her singing to herself. "Singing sometimes calms me. Even when times are rough." She explained.

Kairi was in the hospital being treated for pneumonia when Cal had to spend the credits that had from being on a street corner while the 11 year old Padawan played a guitar that she found in the trash.

"That's true. I'm glad that you're feeling better, kid. You've barely survived if I haven't found you and your brother." Prauf explained, before sitting down at the foot of the hospital bed.

"Cal's not my brother. He's my friend." Kairi corrected before looking back at the 14 year old Padawan who was deeply sleeping on the couch, covered in blankets.

"Well, he told me that you were his adopted sister." Prauf stated.

Kairi forgot about how Cal told her how to get away with a few lies and always do not reveal who they truly were before the Purge. Even though it only happened a few weeks ago, Kairi knew that she must learn how not to trust anyone and even don't stand out, just how she accidentally started the fire at the abandoned building when Cal only left for a few minutes to get food and medicine.

"I… keep forgetting. Sorry." Kairi responded, before looking down at her small hands which were covered by bandages.

"You're okay, kid." Prauf replied, after putting his hand on Kairi's left shoulder. "There's something I need to ask. How did two little kids like you ended up on the streets? Were you two lost? Did something happen to your parents?" He asked.

Kairi didn't know how to respond, knowing that he and Cal were supposed to be in hiding.

But she had to think of something quick and she thought of it.

"Sometimes when you had the life… in the palm of your hands. Being happy. Getting to share laughter. And even learning new things everyday. It always doesn't have a happy ending. Cal and I… we've lost two important people in our lives weeks back. We were running. Because we're just scared little kids, Prauf. And… it had something to do with me. I didn't want to believe it at first. But-" Kairi tried to explain as she partially told the truth and even lying throughout her teeth while covering up the fact that they were Jedi.

Prauf pulled Kairi close to him as tears were running down her face.

"You've survived it. And I'm sure that this won't happen again… Once you two are rested and feeling better again, I'll look after you two. I mean, I couldn't leave two kids like you in a hospital either to be separated or whatever. Not even when you nearly lost your hands in that fire." Prauf explained as Kairi's eyes widened in shock, before she returned a hug while ignoring her healing hands.

"Prauf… thank you." Kairi whispered...

Present Time…

Breathing in and out heavily, Kairi was trying to find out where she was being taken after when First Brother caught her. The 16 year old Jedi had a blindfold covering her face as she could feel the chilly rain dripping down her clothes and the wind blowing through her now ripped black shirt and white long apron skirt while getting the shivers when she was still missing a boot after kicking it off.

"Move!" First Brother's voice was heard before hearing a lightsaber igniting as Kairi jumped slightly and began to walk onto the muddy ground. "Stop." He stated as Kairi stayed still before feeling another presence approaching in front of her.

"Is this her?" Another voice was heard which sounded like a woman's voice, before Kairi felt the blindfold being taken off. "Silver eyes and a purple forehead symbol. This is truly her." She stated as Kairi blinked her eyes to get a clearer vision, until she got kicked down by First Brother's right foot.

"How does that feel? You like that?!" First Brother asked as he was in rage, while Kairi was screaming out in pain when her spine started to hurt.

She managed to turn her head to look up and saw the shipyard rigger crew who were lined up and were looking at her, until she saw Cal and Prauf.

"How did they find her so quick? Did she do something to draw attention to herself?" Cal thought to himself as he was looking down at Kairi who was resting her chin in the mud.

"We seek a dangerous fugitive. Just like this one before you all. She is a devotee of the treasonous Jedi Order. Failure to turn in the other one will be charged with sedition. Or…" Second Sister responded as Kairi saw another one of them who was bigger than the other of the rigger crew while circling around like a hunter seeking its prey. "This one dies first. And I know fellow Jedi doesn't let other Jedi die." She stated, before First Brother pulled Kairi up by her long black hair roughly, causing her to scream out.

Kairi's eyes were closed as she could feel her own hair being pulled out of her scalp while trying to break free, knowing that the rope was tight on her wrists.

"Come on. Go ahead. Call out to the one who you have been staying with. What is he? Your friend? Your brother? A lover? I know it's one of them. This is what I did to your mother years ago." First Brother responded hauntingly in her ear before, before Kairi opened her eyes while trying to look at him sideways without moving her own head.

"My… my mother?" Kairi managed to ask.

"Kairi, just hold still. I'm untying the rope." Iris responded through Kairi's mind, as she could feel Iris' presence next to her.

"I… I think it's time that someone came forward."

Kairi turned her head as she looked at Prauf who spoked up, before she was quickly shaking her head no until she saw Cal trying to pull him back, but Prauf decided to step in.

"I uh… I have been working on this heap for a long time. Way before the war." Prauf started to explain as Cal was looking around with his green eyes before he was reaching something from behind his back, while Kairi kept her eyes on the Abednedo.

"Iris, hurry!" Kairi thought as she felt that Iris was having a hard time getting it untied.

"We were the best in the galaxy." Prauf responded as he turned around to face the rigger crew before looking at First Brother and Second Sister. "Then came the Empire. And the engineers… became scrapers. The workers… They just started getting worked." He explained while looking back at the rigger crew.

"Prauf…" Cal responded, as Kairi felt the rope that tied her getting loose.

"We all know the truth." Prauf explained before he turned to First Brother and Second Sister. "We're just too afraid to say it…"

Kairi was just about to stand up once she felt Iris putting her own lightsaber in the 16 year old teen's right hand, but Iris held her down.

"What are you doing?! He's going to get himself killed!" Kairi thought as she felt Iris' grip onto her shoulders while Prauf continued to speak his mind before he was standing next to Kairi's right side with Second Sister on her left hand side.

"He knows way too much. I'm sorry." Iris responded in Kairi's mind before the 16 year old was trying to fight out of it.

"No! Prauf, no!" Kairi spoked up, before First Brother stomped on her back once again as she cried out in pain until she landed on the side of her face.

"I told you to hold still." Iris stated in Kairi's mind while looking at her and back at Prauf.

"We're just expendables!" Prauf explained.

"Yes. You are." Second Sister responded as she pulled out her lightsaber and stab Prauf in the chest once it ignited.

Kairi's heartbeat echoed as her eyes widened in shock along with Cal's after they witnessed Prauf being killed in front of their eyes.

"Prauf!" Kairi cried loudly.

"No!" Cal screamed.

Suddenly, Cal pulled out his late master's lightsaber as Kairi recognized from out of nowhere. She thought Cal hid it back at their apartment, but she realized that he had it on him even after so long.

When he tried to strike Second Sister with it, the Inquisitor ignited another blade as Kairi never saw a dual side lightsaber before in her life.

"Look at this. A lightsaber." Second Sister responded, as the second blade clashed with Cal's until… Kairi had enough.

She immediately pulled out Iris' lightsaber and ignited it causing her to cut her hair from behind to break the rough hold that First Brother grip tightly.

"You have her lightsaber. Not bad for a weakling." First Brother responded as Kairi held Prauf close to her while aiming the lightsaber at First Brother and Second Sister.

"...un… Run…kiddo." Prauf managed to say as Kairi had anger written on her face towards the two Inquisitors.

"I'm not leaving you-" Kairi whispered before she felt herself being choked along with hearing Cal being choked as well.

The two Jedi were next to each other while holding their lightsabers in their hands as Kairi had her left hand reaching out for Prauf while the wounded Abednedo tried to do the same thing.

"Say goodbye to Daddy." First Brother teased, before the two Jedi were pushed towards the other Inquisitor who was more tough and taller than the two.

"I found two Jedi!" The other Inquisitor named the Ninth Sister responded as Kairi and Cal were only unconscious for a few seconds before the 16 year old Jedi slammed the emitter of Iris' lightsaber onto Ninth Sister's helmet causing her to drop Kairi first before Cal.

Hearing Kairi's screams, Cal woke up to see Kairi crash landing into a moving train until he landed on Kairi's body.

"What was that noise?"

"Check for the disturbance."

Cal managed to pull himself up after when he landed on her back, before he helped her stand up.

"That will hurt in the morning." Kairi moaned.

"Agree." Cal responded as he still got his lightsaber in his right hand, until the two saw Stormtroopers who saw them.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" One of the Stormtroopers asked while aiming their blasters at Cal and Kairi.

"Hey, hey, just take it easy." Cal responded calmly while having his left hand up with Kairi standing behind him.

"Call this in. We have two stowaways." One of the Stormtroopers stated as Kairi felt Iris' hand on her right shoulder.

"We don't have to call this in-" Cal started to say as Kairi walked forward with her eyes closed.

"Do it." Iris whispered, before Kairi turned on her lightsaber and started swinging at the Stormtroopers, before stabbing the last one in the chest when she kicked their blaster out of his hands.

Kairi was breathing in and out through her mouth before she turned around to face Cal who was looking back and forth at her and her lightsaber, knowing that Kairi lost her lightsaber on the day of the Purge just like his own.

"I can explain. Really, Cal, I can." Kairi responded defensively.

"Save it for later. We have to go now." Cal replied before Kairi nodded as she and the 19 year old Jedi started running.

As they were going through each cart of the train, Cal would turn around to see if Kairi was keeping up and yet she was. But on their way, a few Stormtroopers were trying to stop them as they both fought them. When Kairi was down to her last one after kicking the Stormtrooper's helmet, Cal strikes him as Kairi smiles at the teamwork they have done together in one cart.

"How did they find you?" Cal asked.

"Does using the Force twice while getting a box of Jogan berries count as getting caught as a Jedi in hiding?" Kairi questioned loudly due to the train and heavy rainfall. "What about your side of the story?" She asked back before deflecting a blaster bullet back at one of the Stormtroopers.

"Ah, you know. I did the same thing as you. But it was to save Prauf from death." Cal answered as he managed to take down an Stormtrooper who had an electric baton.

"Prauf…" Kairi muttered before she thought back to him being stabbed to death by Second Sister's lightsaber. "I didn't do anything to save him." She whispered as tears were running down her face, before she remained focused on one Stormtrooper who started jogging towards her with an electric baton.

But a flash of Prauf came back into her mind once more as she let her guard down before she cried out in pain.

"She's been hit!" The Stormtrooper announced as Kairi backed away from him while clutching onto her left arm.

Cal immediately ran towards the Stormtrooper who taken the hit on Kairi's arm before parrying his attack until he rolled over his back and struck him down.

"Kairi, are you okay?" Cal asked, while Kairi was nodding in agreement as she lifted up her long sleeve black shirt to reveal the second degree burn on her arm.

"I'll take care of it later. We have to go, before-" Kairi started to say, before hearing a lightsaber igniting from behind as Cal pulled the 16 year old Jedi behind him in a protective way.

"I'll give you a 10 second head start, since you two are only Padawans." First Brother warned as he walked towards them slowly in a stalking way, before Cal pulled out his lightsaber.

Getting into a lightsaber dueling stance, Cal was ready to take on First Brother, but Kairi felt her own head hurting as she remembered that from somewhere until... she saw herself running away from someone who was trying to kill her as a child.

"10… 9… 8…" First Brother started the countdown until Kairi snapped out of it, before she pulled Cal with her, making him run away with her in the process. "Run, little rabbits, run. You can run, but you can't hide." He smirked as Kairi managed to pull Cal inside of the next cart.

"We have to go. We have to stop the train!" Kairi reminded the older Jedi as she was catching her breath until the two started running again.

"Why did you pull me away from him? Do you know who he was?" Cal asked.

"I don't know. I remember that warning advice from my past. It was before Coruscant, I think." Kairi explained before the two were back outside of the cart, until they saw an imperial ship that started shooting out blaster bullets, causing Cal and Kairi to jump down behind crates and barrels.

"That's going to be a problem." Cal stated as he got up before Kairi did the same thing.

"We have to run between the firing shots when it's cooling down." Kairi suggested before she stuck her head out, until it started shooting once again. "Now!" She responded loudly before the two started running until they hid behind another shipment of crates.

"Guess who?" The voice of First Brother was heard from the Imperial ship before Kairi could see him in the windshield as her silver eyes widened in shock.

"How did he?" Cal started to ask, as Kairi hid her face behind cover when First Brother started shooting once again.

"No time, Cal!" Kairi yelled as she held onto Cal's wrist and immediately ran through it.

As Cal and Kairi can hear the Imperial ship was ready to shoot at them, Kairi had her eyes closed as she felt Iris' presence when she saw that the Force Ghost put a protective shield around her and Cal.

The two were shocked as they were looking around the shield that was deflecting the blaster bullets in different directions, before they ran inside of the next cart.

"A shield too? Invisibility and a shield?!" Cal started to ask after they got into the next cart, before stopping for a few seconds to catch their breath.

"Invisibility is one of them. But not a shield. That's not me." Kairi explained, before she felt a small box fall on top of her head. "Hey!" She retorted as she turned away from Cal while looking at Iris who had her arms crossed.

"Do not tell him yet!" Iris warned.

"Okay, okay, just calm down." Kairi responded as Cal looked at the 16 year old Jedi who was clearly not talking to anyone from behind.

"Who are you talking to?" Cal asked.

"Uh, no one! Let's just go!" Kairi responded defensively, before they saw a Stormtrooper who started running towards them, but he got killed by the Imperial ship who shot through the train cart in the process. "Well, that was easy." She stated, as Kairi was looking down at the dead Stormtrooper while Cal ran towards the door.

But in the process, the Imperial ship took out the next train cart causing Kairi and Cal to back away from its blaster shots.

"We're going to have to climb. Here, I'll go first." Cal suggested after seeing that the train cart was still connected.

Kairi nodded as she was looking at Cal, before following him from behind. There were a few times that Kairi had a hard time getting to climb up due to her arm suffering from burns thanks to the Stormtrooper who struck her with an electric baton.

Cal managed to help her up as the two were next to each other, before seeing the Imperial ship that First Brother piloted to shoot down the two Padawans on the run.

As the two were staring at the Imperial ship, they believed that this was the end until… The imperial ship was shot down by an unknown ship before the two Jedi held onto parts of the train cart when they nearly slipped off, due to the heavy rain.

"We're here to help."

A woman's voice was heard as Cal and Kairi saw that the ship pulled closer to them as they saw an older woman who was on the ramp.

"Who are you?" Cal asked.

"No time! Keep moving!" The woman responded as she was pointing forward. "We'll pick up you two when we can." She responded before going back into the ship, flying ahead until the two Jedi saw Second Sister's TiE fighter ship following the unknown ship.

"Kairi, let's go!" Cal responded, before he managed to save Kairi from slipping off the train and they started running once more.

Feeling like they have been running for hours, Cal and Kairi continue taking out Stormtroopers with their lightsabers as they continue to run, until they notice Second Sister's ship above them.

"That can't be good!" Kairi responded, before Cal managed to pull her close to him in a protective way as the ship fired several rounds onto the train which had explosives.

Suddenly the two lost their footing as they landed on their bottoms as they began to start sliding down from the train carts. Cal accidentally let Kairi go as he tried to move her and himself away from any flying debris that could easily hurt them. Kairi on the other hand was trying to stop her way from sliding down as she and Cal can hear the wind flying through their hair and even the rain hitting their faces. When they noticed that they were about to slide down towards their deaths, the two were lucky when the unknown ship arrived and opened the door as Kairi and Cal managed to jump.

The two were holding onto the ramp as the older woman was reaching out to get them, until Cal's hands slipped off. He immediately grabbed onto Kairi's legs until the 16 year old Jedi could feel that her own weight couldn't help Cal hold onto her as he can feel his arms slipping off her legs.

And the ginger haired Jedi started falling causing Kairi to cry out his name while her right hand was reaching out for the falling 19 year old as she lost her other boot in the process.

"No! Cal!" Kairi cried loudly as the older woman pulled her into the ship, and the ramp began to close.
