Hey hope you like this chapter. Like I promised this is much longer than
the first chapter. Sorry it took a while to get this up but I didn't get
this transferred from the play form until this past Tuesday because of
school (I had lots to do for my programming and Statistics classes 0_0#).
I'm going to start working on the next chapter sometime later this weekend
but there are no promises that I'll have it up by the end of next week so
just bear with me. I'll have it up as soon as I can get it finished.
Anyway... on with the story!
*Disclaimer* ~Like I said before, I don't own any of the characters EXCEPT Kida, her mother, Jula Arbeni, and Damenek. (when ever I introduce new characters in a chapter that I own I will have a disclaimer otherwise I will not use disclaimers – everyone knows that this is just a fanfic ~ I would never presume to own Star Wars; Like THAT'S ever gonna happen ~ *sigh* only in my dreams -_-;)~
Chapter 2
After leaving the training room Kida walked off confidently to an empty room nearby. After a few minutes of sitting patiently with her eyes closed in meditation; Obi-wan Kenobi walked by the doorway.
As soon as he passed the door he stopped in recognition of who was inside the room. He immediately turned to the door and looked inside at Kida with a shocked look on his face and remembered when he first met her.
~*~ Flashback~*~ He had gone to a planet called Setack with his master, the late Qui-Gon Jinn. The ruling leader had asked for assistance from the Jedi to help bring a supposed criminal to justice. From what the newly crowned King Jula Arbeni had told them, the criminal's name was Damenek; and that he had masterminded the assassination of the late king and his family – wanting to take over the kingship but failing. He was said to be extremely elusive and deadly.
With his natural youthful impulsiveness, Obi-wan had immediately believed the king. He had wanted to go after Damenek to capture and bring him to justice. He and Qui-Gon had set off into the wild lands where Damenek was said to have been seen last.
While he was doing so Kida had also come to Setack; she had come with her mother to visit a friend for a few weeks. While there, she happened to have a vision of him fighting someone – but she didn't know who – and then of a strange man whom she had never seen, being crowned with her and Obi-wan standing nearby.
A few days afterwards Kida happened upon Damenek when she was meditating in a nearby wood. Damenek had been traveling with a few of his followers and had been fighting off a pack of wolves when she was awoken from her meditation by the sound of men firing weapons and shouting over the howls of the wolves. When she heard this she immediately came to their aid and with her help they quickly got rid of the rapid canines.
Damenek had been about to thank her for her help but before he could do so he passed out onto the ground from several wounds he had gotten from the fight. Kida had him taken to his came and at her insistence she followed in order to care for him. Once in his quarters she bandaged him up properly with the help of a healer, who gave her everything she asked for in order to heal him. That evening Damenek had woken up to find Kida sitting on the floor next to his cot, once again meditating. Finding that he had awoken, Kida then took the next couple of minutes to explain where they were, why they were there, and who she was. She then asked him why he was an outlaw and what exactly he was wanted for. Damenek then proceeded to tell Kida his story.
He told her that he was in fact the Crown Prince of Setack and that his father was the late king who had been recently murdered by the traitor Jula Arbeni. He also said that Jula had been behind the attack on the royal family – Damenek had barely escaped the slaughter through a secret passage known only to him. After the family had been killed, Jula ascended the throne on the pretense that the late king had told him to take over if his son didn't survive to take his place. Once Jula found out that Damenek was still alive he told the people that Damenek had been the mastermind behind the assassinations in order for him to be killed (A/N: Damenek not Jula -_- ;) if he was captured, knowing that if Damenek were able to get the truth to be known about Jula to the people Jula would be killed in an uprising. When Damenek found out about what Jula had done and that he was being framed for it he quickly hid himself away. Over the course of the next few months Damenek had been able to gather a slowly growing group of followers.
He then asked her to help him get back his birthright from Jula's greedy clutches. She eagerly agreed to help him – having realized that Damenek had been the strange man she had seen crowned in her vision. Meanwhile, Obi-wan had been trying to find Damenek and a few days after Kida and Damenek's talk he found him walking in the woods with Kida. After getting over his surprise at what looked to him like a female jedi – on good terms with him no less! – talking happily to the 'criminal', he had attacked him, trying to get Damenek subdued enough to clap him in electric restraints and take him to Jula. The one thing he didn't put into consideration was Kida. When she got over the shock of seeing Obi-wan and him attacking Damenek she instantly took action by activating her saber and knocking Obi-wan off Damenek with the force. After fighting him for a few minutes she was able to – almost effortlessly in his mind – get him tied up without her even breaking a sweat.
Then between her and Damenek they got him to Damenek's quarters where Kida proceeded to tell him about Damenek and Jula, helping him to realize the truth. Ben (A/N: Kida gives him this nick-name when she explains things to him – remember that is what he is called in A New Hope. I'm also going to occasionally call him that for the ease of reading.) then contacted Qui-gon about Jula and after doing so he started helping Damenek and Kida get back Damenek's throne.
After a few days of intense evidence gathering and some espionage on Ben, Qui-gon, and Kida's part they were able to spread the truth about Jula to the populace. Because of their work, Jula was soon afterwards was deposed and Damenek then took his place as King of Setack with Ben and Kida standing nearby as he was crowned – just like Kida had foreseen a few weeks before. After peace once again ruled on Setack he and Qui-gon had left, never to see Kida again – until now. ~*~End Flashback~*~
Obi-wan shook himself out of his memories and walked into the room saying, "Kidakakash!? Is that you? The last time I saw you, it was when we were fighting together on Setack. What are you doing here?"
Kida opened her eyes as soon as she heard his voice and just smiled warmly and replied, "Hello Ben, it's good to see you again, especially on a more peaceful level. Right now I'm waiting for Yoda so that I can talk to him."
Obi-wan looked at her curiously and asked, "What do you need to talk to him about?" Kida just smirked and said, "Nothing you need to worry about just now. Especially since you have your hands full with Anakin and the Sith." Surprised at her words Obi-wan quickly asked, "How did you know about them?" Kida smiled at his reaction saying, "You'd be surprised at how I know but I'm not about to tell you right at this moment."
At that moment Yoda walked into the room – having been guided by the force and Kida to where she was. Kida instantly looked at Yoda and said knowingly, "What is it you wanted to talk to me about Master Yoda?"
Yoda looked at her questioningly and said, "With you many things I want to talk about. Are you a Jedi and if not why do you dress as one are the first."
Kida sighed, motioned for them to sit – which they promptly did – and started to speak. "Well, I'm not a Jedi and I will tell you why I dress as one. As my mother was a Jedi she recognized my powers when I was young and wanted to take me to the Jedi council but my father forbade it, as Jedi's weren't in the best light with my father—my mother excepted. So in a subtle determination my mother took me under her wing and taught me as if I was a true padawan. She taught me all she knew but when I started having my visions she tried to help me as best she could but she couldn't do much. She taught me whenever my father wasn't home—which was most of the time as he was a bounty hunter. She taught me until I had learned all that I could learn from her and had become better than her. From then on, all we did was practice every day in a practice area of our home on Mifka-Oro.
"Then one day about a year ago my father left on another mission and a few days later my mother became violently ill. She stayed on the verge of death for about 4 months and then one day near the end of that time she became worse. When she knew she was going to die she told me to take and use her Jedi clothes and light-saber. She told me that she hoped that I would meet you soon and take the Trial's if possible. After she died, I took the things she wanted me to take and put them in a special place in my room.
"When my father didn't get a reply from my mother to his usual greeting when he came home almost a month after she died he became very anxious and started yelling out her name and looking for her. When he got to my room, he demanded to know where she was. I took him to the parlor and told him what had happened while he sat in a chair in a shocked daze until I was done. After I finished talking he broke down and wept in my arms for about a half-hour. Afterwards he got up and went to his room. The next time I saw him he was packing up his things. He told me to take my mother's things and do what I wanted with them.
"The next thing I knew he had sold the house and was leaving in his ship, Slave 1. I packed my things and followed him in a ship he had given to me for my 16th birthday—I had made it invisible to any radar system you can make. After I had followed him to his destination on Kamino I left him and came here. I—like my mother—hope that I can take the Trail's if possible."
Yoda looked at her curiously and said, "Take the trials we'll see, but first see what you can do I want to see." All three of them then left – Kida and Yoda heading to a training area and Obi-wan to another place after he wished Kida luck. When they had got to the training room, Yoda turned to Kida and said, "Now show me what you can do." As he spoke, Yoda had activated his lightsaber and saluted her. Kida smiled and as she too lighted her saber she said, "Very well Master Yoda."
After about a half-hour of fencing, they stopped and bowed to each other. Kida smiled at Yoda and wiped away some sweat that had just begun to gather on her brow. "Master Yoda, now I see why they call you the Master." Yoda just nodded and said, "Admit I must that better than I thought you would be you are." Kida continued to smile and said, "Thank you for the compliment Master Yoda. My mother always held you in the highest esteem and now I do the same. Will I take the Trail's?"
Yoda then said, "Tomorrow in front of the council you will go. Their decision on whether you will officially become a Jedi it will be." Kida then tucked her now unlighted saber into her belt and replied, "Thank you very much Master Yoda. I will see you tomorrow then." They then bowed to each other and as Yoda watched as Kida left – wondering what the other council members would think of this new power (A/N: I couldn't think of what else to call her abilities.) in their midst – he said, "See you then I will."

TOLD you it would be longer than the first one. ;P like I said this is my first fanfic so don't sue me. Any type of review would be nice – I still haven't gotten any from the first chapter (another reason I didn't put this one up sooner) – flames, advice, and – of course – praise is welcome(sorry had to say that :P) just please tell me what you think of it anything is welcome. ~ jediprophetessSchag
