Chapter 1:
Not in Kansas Anymore

"That can't be possible...I'm in Ireland...on Earth! I can't be on another planet!" Khyra felt her heart begin to beat faster and faster upon seeing the serious, not-joking faces of the men before her.

"Miss, please calm down. I'm not sure how you got here, or where this 'Earth' is, but I do know you're trespassing on secure property," the larger of the two men said calmly before continuing, "What is your name?"

Khyra looked at the man and for a reason even she did not know, slowly dropped her guard. "Khyrana...Khyrana Sylo."

After speaking, she subconsciously noted a small flicker of surprise flash over the two men's eyes before the older spoke again. "Miss Sylo? Well, I'm Eathu Lano," he said, moving his hand to his chest. "And this is Tahlan Roux," he gestured toward the young man next to him of about eighteen, who bowed respectfully toward Khyra at hearing his name.

Watching the two men in silence for a moment, Khyra took the opportunity to take in their full appearances. They certainly looked human in build and complexion, but their clothes were like nothing she had seen before. Each wore a simple outfit of a beige-colored tunic reaching just at the thigh, white pants made of some light fabric covering what little of their legs could be seen, brown leather knee-high boots, and a long dark-colored robe reaching just past the heel of their boots. She also noticed an odd tube-like metal device hanging at each one's belt. 'I wonder what that is...'

Eathu Lano, the older of the two, decided to break the silence that had fallen on the trio; quickly pulled Khyra out of her observant trance in the process. "Miss, if you would be so kind and come with us?" he gestured to a hall behind him as he spoke.

She wasn't sure why, but something inside her told Khyra she could trust these men. "Yes, yes of course. Is there someone who can tell me what's going on here?"

"Yes." Eathu said simply as they began walking out of the dark room they'd been standing in. "Master Yoda will no doubt have the answers we all require."

"Master Yoda, huh? This should be inter..." before she could finish her sentence, Khyra's wondering eye caught sight of alien looking humanoid creature pass by. With full attention on the almost frightening creature, Khyra didn't even notice the look Tahlan gave her as her mouth dropped open and eyes grew wide.

"That's Ullan-Sie. He's a friend...don't worry," only part of Khyra even registered the first words Tahlan had spoken since they had met. As hard as she tried, she couldn't seem to pull her gaze from the tall, green-skinned humanoid. The expression on his face was kind, but still...you would be a little taken back too if you saw a seven-foot green creature with piercing yellow eyes and black hair that much resembled a mohawk walking past you.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"What is this place?" Khyra asked curiously; now taking in the full amount of her surroundings. She was walking between the two men down a long, blue carpeted hall, decorated simply with white circular lights set every few feet on each wall and a few ivy-like plants growing from patches of dirt set deep in rectangular holes cut out into the walls. It was like a dream, she thought. Creatures she had never seen or heard of before walking past without giving a second thought; alien décor surrounding her every step. But oddly enough, she wasn't afraid. No, in fact, she felt more at home walking down that hall then she had even in her own home. And what's more, all the while on their quiet walk, she couldn't shake the feeling of a strange aura of peace filling the air around her. 'What is this place?' she asked again to herself.

Just then, Khyra felt a small gasp escape her lips when she reached the end of the long hall. Both Eathu and Tahlan couldn't help but smile at the look of complete astonishment shinning through the girl's entire being. Before the trio was an incredible domed room; at least three-hundred feet in height. There was a immaculate staircase in the center, carpeted blue covering the majority, leaving only a foot or so on each side shinning a bare white marble. To its left and right, there were two separate halls (looking much like the one they had just exited) on each side leading in different directions. Even the very dome itself was amazing. Supported entirely by a silver metal frame, stunningly clear glass curved over the ceiling; allowing the warm light of an orange sun to filter through down even to the very floor.

"Amazing, isn't it?" Eathu said suddenly; his voice seemingly gentler then it had been previously.

"Yes...quite." Khyra would have spoke better words to describe her feelings, but she found herself unable to think as she stared up through the clear dome and out to a foreign sky of orange, blue, and red. 'I am definitely not in Kansas anymore...' she thought, remembering the phrase that had come quite cliché on Earth.

"Shall we continue?" Eathu decided to say, gesturing forward with a hand partially hidden from the length of his sleeve.

Instead of replying, Khyra simply nodded and followed the two men to something that looked much like an elevator with arched glass walls looking over the amazing room. She watched as Tahlan pushed a small silver button calling for the silver doors of the elevator to open, which they immediately did.

Eathu motioned for Khyra to enter first, as she did without quarrel. With all three standing comfortably within the elevator, Tahlan pushed another silver button within a panel of many. Just as the doors slid smoothly back in place Eathu spoke, "You may not want to stare down while we moved, Miss. It can be quite nauseating." Khyra looked to Eathu with a kind smirk before turning back to the clear wall and tightly grasped the railing as the elevator (or, 'turbolift', as Eathu called it) shot up one hundred, two hundred, three hundred feet. Khyra would have said something about the dome ceiling drawing ever closer to the lift, but by the time she had thought to say something, the lift had already shot through an opening in the dome; now beginning to fly upward on the side of a extremely tall building.

Khyra stared through the glass with curious eyes to see a city unlike any city she had every seen surrounding her. The buildings were varying in height, but all had the same futuristic appeal that just screamed out 'science-fiction' in her mind. And what was more yet, there were car-like speeders flying through the air as if traveling on some invisible high-way! 'Incredible!' Khyra's mind raced.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Here we are." Eathu said strongly; again breaking Khyra's train of thought.

"And where's here?" Khyra asked while still staring out to the city ahead.

"The top floor." he replied simply before leaving the lift and motioning for Khyra to follow.

As they walked through a short hall to a large metal door, Khyra suddenly felt a familiar surge pass through her; like a breath of cool air on a hot day. 'Weird...that seems to be happening a lot lately.'

Tahlan quickly took his place at Eathu's side and waved his hand over a small motion pad.

In one swift sound, the door split in the center and slid open equally to a hidden space in the walls to the left and right.

Eathu, as before, lead the way into yet another breath-taking room. Khyra felt her mouth fall slightly agape again as she took in the sight of the circular room walled completely with perfectly arched windows of glass and decorated only with a few wall-lights and a group of chairs set in a circle around the room. And then there was Yoda. Khyra noticed both Eathu and Tahlan bow respectfully to a quite odd looking creature sitting in a chair before them. The creature was green in color, about three feet tall, and quite old, by the looks of the thin white hair on his head and in his long, pointed ears.

"Master Yoda." both Eathu and Tahlan said in unison.

"Ahh...Master Lano and young Padawan Tahlan. Good to see you, it is," The green creature named Yoda said in an almost cracking voice before turning his attention to Khyra, now standing just in front of her two escorts. "Who is your friend?"

"Master Yoda, this is Khyrana Sylo," Eathu seemed to stress the name "Sylo" before continuing normally. "My padawan and I found her in the teleporter room claiming to be from a planet called 'Earth'.

Khyra could see Yoda's eyes flash with some unknown feeling as Eathu spoke. "Ahhh...been expecting you, Miss Sylo, we have."

"You have?" Khyra questioned in a confused tone. "How?"

The three watched as Yoda slowly stood from his chair at wobbled up to Khyra; the clacking of his cane against the hard floor sounding with every step. "A long story with not much time to tell, it is."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Not much time? What are you talking about?" Khyra continuously fumbled through her thoughts, trying to make at least some sense out of her present situation.

"We are in the middle of a war here, Ms. Sylo." All eyes in the room turned back towards the sliding door where a tall, dark-skinned human man now stood. "Though your arrival here is timely and important," he continued in a calm but firm voice, "I am afraid we do not have time to explain everything in full detail."

Khyra's confusion turned to a heated annoyance as Eathu and Tahlan again bowed in unison to the man as he passed by to a position at the side of Yoda. "What! Can someone at least outline what's going on here? I mean for bloody cryin' out loud! I don't even know how I got here in the first place!" her old accent started to pick up again with her raised voice. "And who are you, anyway?" she questioned, referring to the dark-skinned man in front of her.

'My name is Mace Windu." the man said simply.

Yoda decided to make his presents re-known by clearing his throat. "Teach you of the Jedi, your Grandfather did, yes?" he said, focusing his large emerald eyes directly to Khyra's.

She was caught somewhat off-guard by the sudden question. "Well, no...not really. He told me fairytales about great warriors from another galaxy...but nothing of a real place." she paused for a moment. "Hey, wait a sec...How'd you know my Granda?"

"A Jedi and good friend, your Grandfather was." Yoda's words were blunt, but they did the job at quickly getting to the point.

"What?"

"Ms. Sylo," Mace began, "This will be hard to believe, but you must listen carefully for there is much to explain."

To Be Continued...
