Friends

After speaking with Cara, Kyle could understand why Luke had asked for his help.

Despite his vow to not undertake any students after what had previously happened he realised that his morals didn't just go and bury themselves like he sometimes hoped they would. Plus he could sense something in Cara. Where most people just saw untapped power or potential for evil he saw what he figured Luke and Joran could see. Cara had power, and even though she couldn't use it the power was already focused on something. Kyle doubted even Cara knew what it was

After only two days of working with her through Velocities he could see and agree with what the Council said about her. She was definitely intense. On the good side that meant she never did anything half heatedly and she learnt quickly, on the bad side her intensity often fell to all out aggression.

But overall though Kyle enjoyed working with the headstrong Jedi even if she challenged him at almost every opportunity. Much like most of his friends. Silently he asked himself why all his friends where pains in the arse.

Soon Kyle took them both through the training courses, firstly over a difficult Padawan course as a warm-up and so he could see how strong her other skills where. Then he moved them onto a few of the Knight levels.

Kyle hadn't used the Nuwai courses before and they where very different from the Yavin courses. He was enjoying the challenge.


After a week of training Kyle approached Luke to request an assignment for him and Cara. He found Luke looking extremely worried.

"What's up Luke?" he asked.

"Kyle… I sense a rather unusual disturbance in the Force." Luke replied.

"What else is new? To tell you the truth I guess I have picked up on some…unease recently." Kyle admitted.

"I'll keep my focus on it. Hows Cara?" Luke asked.

"Doing well, I came to request an assignment for us, one that's not Sith related preferably, minimal lightsaber conflict would do well to strengthen her other skills" Kyle replied.

"That should be easy enough." Luke responded.

"I have to ask, why the sudden importance about getting rid whatever taint of the Dark Side you can find around her? Surely she has been doing well. You wouldn't have allowed her to reach the level of Knight if she hadn't." Kyle asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"Well, after she destroyed her Sith Master I found a Sith Holocron at the Temple. The Holocron was made by the Sith Lord Enragion, Cara's ancestor. He wrote that when the number of his descendants dwindled down to one then all of his Dark energy would accumulate in that one being." Luke admitted.

"And Cara's the last descendent?" Kyle asked.

"There is large possibility." Luke replied.

"So the idea of, what another famous Sith Lord doesn't sit well with the Council?" Kyle asked jokingly.

"Another Enragion, another Exar Kun, another Vader…" Luke replied seriously.

"That bad huh? Don't worry, she won't fall. She doesn't want to." Kyle commented before leaving.


Luke watched Cara and Kyle arrive back from a day of training. By the sounds of things Kyle was retelling one of his adventures with his mercenary girlfriend Jan Ors. As usual, Kyle was forgetting all the near death parts and remembering the funniest bits.

"Hi Luke!" Cara greeted, "why did you assign me to this guy? His trying to kill me I swear!"

"You kept up!" Kyle shot back feigning hurt.

Cara just rolled her eyes but she was still smiling.

"Kyle I have a mission for you and Cara." Luke began, "the New Republic is sending Jan to Echo Base on Hoth. Mon Mothma is worried that not all records where destroyed when the Rebels fled."

"That sounds like her all right…" Kyle muttered.

"Wouldn't the Imperial troops have already taken everything of use?" Cara asked

"Possibly, but I guess it's worth a check." Luke shrugged.

"Don't worry kid this will be a total blue milk run!" Kyle said confidently.

"You say that a lot…" Luke said to him. "Anyway you both have time away from the Order to work with Jan. Please Kyle, don't make me regret this."

"Do I ever give you reasons to doubt me?" Kyle asked innocently.

Luke ignored him


Two days later Jan arrived in her ship the Raven's Claw. Cara made sure not to be around when she and Kyle caught up with each other. Instead she tracked Joran down to say goodbye.

It was a hard goodbye. Joran had remained her only friend outside of Luke and after being with him on Nuwai for almost a year it was hard to say goodbye again. Especially when she didn't know when she would be back. Luke had never given Kyle a certain amount of time.

Saying goodbye to Luke was also hard. Every time she had fought the Sith he had been the first person to contact her, despite his disagreement with her offensive tactics. This time he may not be there for her.

Still, Cara was glad to be leaving under the circumstances. She was learning a lot from Kyle and she thought of him as a good friend even after this short amount of time.


"So when do I get to meet this Padawan of yours?" Jan asked.

"Well technically she isn't an Padawan, she's a Jedi Knight." Kyle corrected

"Whatever, same difference." Jan shrugged.

"Well… I don't think Luke told you but she's coming along…" Kyle said carefully.

"Okay then… will she slow us down?" Jan asked.

"Not likely." Kyle said definitely

"So it's not possible?" Jan double-checked.

"Anything's possible" Kyle couldn't resist saying.

"Will I ever get a straight answer out of you? Jan teased back.

"Possibly not."


Cara had already put her stuff in the ship like Kyle had said to her, but he had managed to disappear again so she went ahead and put his stuff in as well.

Finding Kyle's lightsaber on top of his gear was an opportunity she couldn't afford to miss. Cara took his lightsaber to the cockpit of The Raven's Claw and knelt down to find a way to stash it under one of the seats.

"So you must be Cara." A female voice suddenly said.

Cara had been so intent on her prank that she hadn't noticed anyone coming up to her and jumped. The only thing she managed to achieve was bashing her head on the chair.

"Owww… and you must be Jan." Cara replied as she rubbed her head.

Jan just laughed.

"Did I miss anything?" Kyle asked as he walked in. "Some wise guy nicked of with my saber… and by the look on your face Cara, I'm betting it was you. Hand it over."

Cara looked sheepish and handed it to him.

"Thank-you. Well I guess you two have met now so no need for an introduction. Let's get out of here before Luke changes his mind."
