A?N: Hey folks, sorry again for being lazy and not updating. To be honest I got temporarily bored of the story, lol, especially since I've been working on it for most of this year! I started some plans for another story this one having nothing to do woth Jedi! insert collective gasp Anyway I will shamelessly promote that one when I start posting
Reveiw Response-
Nerwen Aldarion: Sorry for the cliffy! Actually I'm not :P Glad your enjoying the constant bantering of this crazy group of Jedi!
ShotgunChief: Hey no probs we all get busy! Glad to see you back though :D lol actually the full chapter wasn't written in the spare two minutes I had. What I tend to do is sit down when I have time and just write (I have actually started on the third one of this series now) Of course the chapters are riddled with holes and I don't fine tune them untill I'm about to put it up. That's why this one took so long being a battle, I had to corner my brother to help and we spent ages discussing ideas and practically playing it out with a bunch of plastic army men. Therefore I hope its decent!

Enjoy!

Attacked

The Jedi within the wreckage hurried to complete their task and get back out to the speeder.

Once out there Luke took the controls.

"I'm not going slow this time." He warned them all.

"You went slow the first time?" Kyle joked but his face looked serious.

Cara reckoned she barely had enough time to buckle herself in before Luke sent the speeder flying.

No normal being could pilot something at that speed, most Jedi couldn't, but Luke seemed to do it as natural as breathing. Quickly the outpost came into sight along with four small ships landing to dispatch troops.

Luke pulled the speeder to a stop unseating everyone.

"Looks like they weren't expecting much of a fight." Kyle stated. "And they definitely didn't expect us."

"Mara and Jan get this stuff onto the ships and get ready to take off, I'm not sure if the outpost can survive this attack and I want us to be ready to go, tell anyone you meet to prepare the Republic ships as well if they aren't already doing so!" Luke said quickly as they all climbed out.

"Got it!" Jan said as she pulled the bags out.

"Be careful." Mara said tot hem before turning to help Jan.

"Cara and Kyle, we'll go help the Republic troops." Luke continued. "Everyone stay in touch, and May the Force be with you."

--

Cara split away from Luke and Kyle as they dashed to where the fighting had broken out. Instead she used the lift to get to the top level of the outpost, only pausing to adjust the headset com-link.

Once there she activated one of her sabers and used it to cut a hole in the ceiling then pulled herself onto the roof.

From there she could see a large portion of the battle, Kyle wasn't insight but she could easily see Luke expertly wielding his own green bladed lightsaber against the attacking troopers. They didn't stand a chance against the humming blades.

Before continuing she stopped to report to the others.

"Cara here, the lines are messy so that works for us, most of them seem to be your average trooper with your big guns in the back. By the looks of those transports there is probably a cruiser above us, which equals reinforcements. No air cover yet." Cara rapidly said everything she saw.

Not waiting for a reply, Cara ran along the roof keeping her focus on the battle. When the roof ended she realised she wouldn't be able to get behind the storm trooper lines like she had hoped.

She judged the distance to the ground and made her decision. Drawing on the Force Cara leapt from the roof into the middle of the enemies.

She landed with her sabers activated. Four troopers quickly fell to her blades. Soon more joined them as they tried to recover from the shock of her attack. One of the troopers at the back of the line fired at her with his grenade launcher. Quickly she leapt out of the way and watched it explode upon the troopers she had been fighting. She landed by the trooper with the launcher and through her saber into him. Two troopers unsheathed vibro-blades. Cara called her saber to her hand. She didn't wait to attack.

--

As Cara began to fight the blade-wielding troopers Kyle had almost reached her.

Unlike Luke who had attacked near the front with the Republic troops Kyle had gone around the edge attacking from the sides. Lucky for Cara he had expected her to pull off something as risky as leaping into the middle.

Soon as she was in sight Kyle immediately saw Cara's problem, with her focus divided between the troopers attacking her with vibro-blades she was open to blaster fire.

Kyle gathered the force and leapt. He landed on a trooper by Cara and plunged his lightsaber into it.

Cara adjusted her fighting to give him more room.

Kyle spun his lightsaber. Trooper fire bounced of the blade back into the troopers firing upon them. Lines of troopers fell to Kyle's blocks.

Soon Luke had reached them as well. The three Jedi cut holes into the enemy forces.

Another two transport ships landed and fresh troops flooded out and into the battle.

"Kyle! Cara!" Luke yelled at them. "Start retreating the Republic troops!"

"What about you?" Cara called back to him.

"I can manage just GO!" he yelled before turning his full attention back to the oncoming troopers.

--

On the landing platform where the Raven's Claw and Jade Saber where waiting, Mara and Jan where engaged in a small scuffle that had broken out when a group of troopers had arrived.

Mara was cutting through them with her saber while Jan used her blaster.

"Jan if I hold them off can you get a gun turret ready?" Mara called as she pulled her saber out of the groups' leader.

Jan nodded and dashed back into her ship.

Mara heard the guns warming up before their opponents did. She leapt out of the way.

Large shots of gunfire took down the last of the troopers.

Mara deactivated her saber. The sound of the battle was easily heard. She hoped the others where okay.

--

It was impossible for them to win. Despite the efforts of the three Jedi and the Republic Soldiers the Remnant kept bringing out fresh troops of storm troopers and soon sent in a small group of TIE fighters.

"Mara! Jan!" Kyle yelled into the com-link. "Get the ships over here now!"

Cara and Luke heard Kyle's message over their own com-links.

It didn't take long for the Raven's Claw and the Jade Saber to hover above the group. Kyle got into the Raven's Claw just as it took a hit from a fighter.

"Get out of here Kyle!" Cara called out to him as she fought off a group of troopers. "I'll get out with Mara and Luke!"

Kyle nodded and told Jan to take off.

"We'll fight form up here." Jan said to him. "We might be able to give them more time."

Cara saw the Jade Saber hovering nearby. She pulled out of the fight and dashed towards it, drawing heavily on the Force for more speed.

Luke leapt towards the ship and with the use of the Force made it there even before Cara. She quickly joined him in the ship.

"Go now Mara!" Luke called to her as they ducked blaster shots from the troopers.

Mara closed the doors and took off into the atmosphere after the Raven's Claw.

Ahead they could see the Raven's Claw dodging the fire from the Star Destroyer that was hovering above the planet.

"Incoming." Mara announced as the ships scanners alerted them to a group of incoming TIE.

"I'll take the guns." Luke said quickly.

Cara glanced out the window at the large Star Destroyer. Someone on there was focusing on the Jade Saber. A shudder ran through her body as she felt a mind reach out to her own. Immediately she shielded her mind from it like Kyle had been teaching her.

She barely heard Luke telling Mara to go into Hyperspace.

--

"My Lord?" Khael asked the apprentice Sith that was there representing Narcis.

"She was on that ship," he said, "I want her caught now. Before my Masters trap."

"If that is what you wish." Khael said.

"It is." The apprentice responded before turning his back on Khael.

--

After contact was made between the two ships they decided to go straight to Yavin Four instead of to Coruscant.

Luke granted Cara permission to use his X-Wing. Despite not being the pilot Luke or Kyle where Cara had been going through many simulations and plenty of practise flights with the new X-Wings and was a capable pilot. Right now it was the perfect way to get some space.

Everyone was silent during the journey back. There were none of the practical jokes there had been during the first half of the mission. Everyone was locked in their own thoughts.

Cara spent much of the time in the X-Wing with her hand on the white bladed saber she had yet to hand over to Luke and continued to read the data-pad.

Yet her thoughts dwelled on the mind that had reached out to hers from the Star Destroyer.
