Chapter 4:
"Welcome to Space"

Even though she had been on the ship for nearly ten minutes, Khyra still couldn't believe anything like this Cruiser could possibly be real. It was so much larger inside then it first appeared. As she walked through the brightly lit main hall, she discovered a full kitchen, a large lounge area (which Obi-Wan had told her was called the 'common room', in their tongue) complete with a comfortable-looking couch and metal-crafted table, and there were even bedrooms! There were four, from what she could tell, full sized rooms furnished nicely with a small bed, table, chair, and bathroom off the side.

"I take it you don't have transports like this on Earth?" Obi-Wan asked after noticing Khyra's astonished gaze jumping from room to room.

Khyra shook her head, "No way...we barely have enough to make it into space. We have nothing like this."

Obi-Wan smiled. "Well, I assure you, very few of our ships are this extravagant. We were fortunate to get permission to use it."

The two continued following the (quite spacious) white hall until they entered a room that appeared to be the control room. "Hiya Obi-Wan, Khyrana. Glad you could make it for take-off." Zeru greeted from a chair at one side of the fairly large room.

All Khyra could do was stare in awe at the complex array of computers and gadgets kept orderly around her. She gazed from left to right and back again until her wandering eye finally caught sight of Zeru's waving hand and Obi-Wan's smooth voice.

"Khyra, you should probably take a seat." he began; gesturing to a passenger's seat just beside Khyra. "The take off and jump into hyperspace tends to be a little jarring for someone who's not used to the feeling."

Silently, Khyra nodded and took the seat graciously while watching Obi-Wan take the pilot's chair in front of her and Zeru.

"The way's all clear, Obi. We can take off anytime." Zeru spoke without moving his sight from the information screen in front of him.

Obi-Wan began to flip on a series of switches that caused the lights within the room to dim slightly and a low 'humming' sound to grow underneath them. "Right. Hold on, Khyra. This could be a little...disconcerting at first."

"Oh great!" Khyra said sarcastically before watching Obi-Wan push up a lever that appeared to be a throttle.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

With the three young adults in tow, Yoda and Mace watched the Cruiser slowly build up its power and begin to lift off the hanger floor. "Do you think she can do it?" Mace asked of Yoda; keeping his eyes glued to the smooth movements of the chrome ship.

"Know that, I do not." Yoda started in his usual high, husky voice. "Strong in the Force, she is...but..." he paused.

"But what?"

"Still very young, she is. And trained in the ways of the Jedi, she was not. Possible, anything is. But with the help of Master Kenobi, believe she can defeat Sylo, I do."

"Let's hope she's as strong as she seems." Mace concluded with a soft, hopeful voice.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Aw, bugger! Not cool!" Khyra's voice was edging of the border of panic as Obi-Wan steered the Royal Cruiser straight up into the sky; heading for the open blackness of space.

"Just relax," Obi-Wan tried to calm her over Zeru's amused laugh. "You'll get used to it."

"Uh-huh...yeah sure...flying up into space at who knows how many miles-an-hour...that's definitely something that'll be easy to adjust to!" she replied sarcastically.

"Actually, we're going about four hundred, eighty-two kilometers per hour at the moment." Zeru decided to add for some reason or another.

"Thanks...I really needed to know that." again, the sarcastic side of Khyra's personality pushed forward through her exasperated voice and glaring eyes.

"Hey, there's no need to worry. Obi-Wan's done this a thousand times and only messed up once or twice." Zeru spoke; voice happy and full of confidence in his friend's piloting capabilities.

Gripping the sides of her chair with all her strength, Khyra was about to yell at Zeru when Obi-Wan interrupted perfectly on cue with the welcomed view of peaceful space as the Cruiser cleared Coruscant's atmosphere. "Make that a thousand and one, Zeru." he laughed before turning his head to Khyra with a cheerful grin. "Welcome to Space."

"Whoa..." slowly, Khyra allowed her grip on the chair to loosen as her entire being was caught in an unreal awe of the star-specked heavens before her. "Now there's somethin' I don't see everyday."

"Oh, it's not over yet." Obi-Wan said with a smile while he flipped on a off a group of switches.

"What?"

"We still have to make the jump to hyperspace."

Khyra didn't make a reply, only blinking slowly and swallowed hard; realizing her strong grip had returned to choke the innocent chair.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Zeru? We ready to go?" Obi-Wan asked.

While continuing to check and double check coordinates and the Cruiser's components, Zeru replied, "Yep. Coordinates are locked and we're ready to jump."

"Hold on."

Within moments, the control room filled with a painfully high-pitched ring emitting from the ship's powerful engine. Khyra felt her heart jump into her throat as a brilliant blue and white light grew over the vast expanse of space before them. The immaculate ball of light spiked out like the legs of a spider; forming a surging cloud of energy spanning through at least twenty kilometers each way.

"So wait...we're going in there?" Khyra asked through a skeptical tone.

"Yes, we are. Just relax and we'll be fine." Obi-Wan replied in a voice Khyra found to be curiously calming as she felt a relaxing aura of peace surge through her. "Zeru," he continued; voice now soaked through with a kind but commanding prowess. "Activate engine coolant systems and force stabilizers."

After typing in a command on the holographic-monitor's foreign key-pad, Zeru replied, "Got it. All systems go for jump."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

With a poised nod and swift push of a silver lever, Obi-Wan sent the Cruiser into the seemingly endless pool of light.

As Khyra's bright cerulean eyes grew wide with the excitement and anxiety of the moment, she thought of the extreme force pushing her back into her chair like the power of a million horses galloping forward.

To her great surprise though, before she had even a chance to get used to the powerful force, it was gone. Just like that. The Cruiser was still traveling through this space called 'hyperspace', but oddly enough, the overwhelming strain had completely vanished.

Realizing her question before even having the chance to ask, Obi-Wan pushed a series of buttons and undid his seatbelt before standing to face Khyra. "There's a device built in the engine called a 'force stabilizer' that takes away most of the strain from hyperspace." he walked with the very same grace he had in the hanger earlier as he made his way to Khyra's chair. Extending his hand to her, he spoke, "Finding your balance might be a little difficult at first, but I'm sure you'll become comfortable soon."

With leery thoughts and eyes focused somewhere between Obi-Wan and the incredible swirling light outside the ship, Khyra undid her belt and carefully stood; one hand holding Obi-Wan's, and the other bracing herself on the back of the chair. 'Huh...now there's a weird feeling...' Khyra thought after unconsciously swaying back for a moment. Her balance felt off, but amid her jumbled thoughts, a new sensation of a perfect center began to grow within her.

In seeing and feeling Khyra's growing security, Obi-Wan allowed his grip on her hand to lax and slowly let go. 'Yoda was right...the force really does flow strong in her family.'

"So," Khyra began; easily managing to pull Obi-Wan from his thoughts. "What now?"

"It will take about three days to reach our destination, a planet called Mybis. During those days, we must use our time carefully to plan and train."

"Alright, but first, do you have any clothes I could wear?" looking down, Khyra pulled at her dirtied shirt with a smile. "I don't think I can even remember the last time I changed."

Obi-Wan laughed lightly, "I think I might have something for you."

At that, Obi-Wan led Khyra out of the control room and down the white hall Khyra still thought to be like a pure road leading to a new world she had never yet seen or imagined.
