Yoda sat alone in his room meditating. He felt someone coming, and he knew
an important meeting was about to take place. The door opened, and Kyto
walked in.
"Ah, Kyto, glad I am that you came to see me." Yoda said.
"Yes, I have something important to discuss with you."
"I know. About a young girl is this?"
"Yes," Kyto answered slowly, "Jemmalynn Karreliss. I know all about her,
and I think that it would do her well to start her training early. She
seems so far ahead of the other students."
"She is. She is. And who do you think should train her?" Yoda asked,
knowing what Kyto was getting at.
"Well. . . I was kind of hoping that I could."
"I see. Ready to take on a Padawan, are you?"
"Yes, yes! I am ready. I know I can do a good job with her," Kyto answered
eagerly.
"Very well then. Your padawan, Karreliss shall become."

Jemmalynn stared out the window, of the other Jedi children playing outside. She didn't really want to join them, but she didn't like to be alone and wanted to feel like she belonged somewhere. "Maybe," she thought, "I could go play with them". But she decided against it and decided to stay by herself. All of a sudden, she felt someone coming; a friend. "Hello, Jemmalynn. It's nice to see you again. I have something I need to talk to you about." Kyto had walked through the door. Jemmalynn was thrilled to see him. "Okay," she answered happily. "It is obviously that your skills are far beyond those of the other students," he began, "training with them is doing nothing but holding you back. I would like you to become my padawan learner." Jemmalynn thought for a moment, taking everything in. It wasn't often someone as young as her got to become a padawan. She liked the thought of leaving all the other children behind. She smiled at Kyto. "I really want to be your padawan," she said. "Are you sure about this?" "It feels. . . right." She answered, knowing she was not making a mistake. **************************************************************************** ********
Jemmalynn trained with Kyto for months, the most difficult training she had ever done. She loved every minute of it. It was so challenging and interesting to her, she felt like she was in a completely different world than before. Finally, one day, Kyto was assigned something to do outside of the temple, and Jemmalynn was going to come along. "Now Jemmalynn, I know you're really too young to be leaving the temple, but we have a mission to do and it will be a good experience for you." Kyto explained to her. Jemmalynn was very excited. They were traveling to a planet called Tirosha to confront a group of bounty hunters who were planning on killing some of the leaders of the Republic. Jemmalynn had never been to Tirosha, but she hadn't heard nice things about it. They would be joined on their mission by Jonah Carther and his padawan, Darius Tiero, who was 14 years old. As they boarded the ship they would be taking, Darius stared at Jemmalynn. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?" He asked. "I'm Jemmalynn Karreliss," she answered, "Kyto Ticassi is my master." He stared at her suspiciously. "Aren't you a little young to be a padawan?" "Yes but. . . I was far ahead of everyone." "Oh. Wow." Darius was very impressed that such a scrawny looking girl could have so much power. "Jemmalynn! Come here, we're ready to go!" Kyto called. The trip to Tirosha was a very long one, for the planet was not even in the Republic, and it was very far away. When they finally arrived, Jemmalynn looked around and saw exactly why bad things were said about the planet. "Jemmalynn," Kyto said, "be careful. This whole planet is like the underbelly of Coruscant." "Yes, Master." Jemmalynn knew they were in a very dangerous place. Kyto, Jemmalynn, Jonah, and Darius began to walk to the central building. It was an enormous building, which towered over the rest of the small city. Jemmalynn looked around at all the different people. There were many aliens, ones Jemmalynn had never seen. Many of the people she could see around her were in fights, and there were dead bodies on the ground in some places. The air was polluted. Jemmalynn did not like this planet at all. Her master could sense something was wrong. "Jemmalynn, what is it?" He asked. "I don't like it here." "Either do I, but we have to do our mission." Jemmalynn nodded. She knew there was no way out of this. She tried to remember that she was on her first mission, and that she was doing good for the Republic. She got very excited again. **************************************************************************** ****************
After a long walk, they made it to the building. "Okay," Jonah said, "the bounty hunters are in there, planning their attack. We must reach all of them before they can leave the building. There is a total of six of them." "Who are they attacking?" Jemmalynn asked, confused. "Political leaders!!" Darius said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Darius," Jonah warned. "They want to attack political leaders in hope that the senate will fall apart," Kyto explained. "Oh," Jemmalynn said, embarrassed, "but why are they meeting here, on Tirosha?" This was a much harder question for the Jedi Master to answer. He looked to Jonah, who just shrugged. "I don't know, Jemmalynn. Don't worry about these things. Okay, we will take the top floors, and you two take the bottom." Kyto said. "Okay, let's do this." Replied Jonah. **************************************************************************** ****************
Jemmalynn and Kyto rode the turbolifts up to the top floors of the building. They had managed to get in undetected, so far, but it was only a matter of time until they were discovered. Jemmalynn had hundreds of questions to ask, but knew she shouldn't bother her master with them. They stopped at a floor close to the top. "Why are we stopping here master?" Jemmalynn couldn't help but ask. "I am using the force to lead me to them. They are near." Kyto answered. They walked down a long, narrow hall, and came to a door and stopped. "I believe we will find a few of them in here. Now, stay near me, and don't do anything I don't tell you to do." Kyto said. Jemmalynn nodded obediently. She watched as he opened the door slowly. They entered a huge room, with a balcony overlooking the floor below. Inside she saw 3 men sitting around a table, intently discussing something. "Who are you?" One of them asked. "Jedi Master Kyto Ticassi. I am here to end this plan of yours to destroy the senate. He laughed. "I wouldn't count on that if I were you" The 3 men pulled out their blasters. Kyto got his lightsaber ready to fight. Jemmalynn wondered if she should too, but Kyto didn't say anything so she didn't. Suddenly his order came. "Jemmalynn, run and hide!" Jemmalynn did exactly what was told of her. She ran and hid under a chair nearby to watch. She didn't think the men would have any interest in a young girl like her. They barely even paid attention to her. The battle was intense. Though Kyto was outnumbered, he had the upper hand. But then, all of a sudden, he looked hurt and began to struggle. He needed help. Jemmalynn realized even though he told her not to, she had to help him. None of the men could see her, and she came out from her hiding place, took her lightsaber out, and with all her strength and the help of the force threw her lightsaber at the man who was hurting Kyto the most. It sliced through his back and he was killed instantly. She used the force to bring her lightsaber back to her. As this happened, Jonah and Darius walked in to help. One of the men kicked Darius hard in the stomach, and he fell over the railing of the balcony. He caught the edge though, and was holding on tightly, for there was a long drop to the next floor. Jemmalynn ran over to help him. "What good can you do? You're too little." He said. Jemmalynn ignored his words and grabbed his arms. Using the force, she pulled him back on to the floor. It took much of her power, and it exhausted her. "Uhh. . thanks. I guess you can do some good, huh?" He said sheepishly. By now, Kyto and Jonah had destroyed the remaining bounty hunters. Jonah had killed the others earlier. Kyto looked at Jemmalynn sternly. "Jemmalynn, you disobeyed me." "I know," she said sadly, "but I had to." "Yes, you did. You saved me. I am very thankful.
