Chapter 2.
After almost 2 hours of being inside the portal, they saw an opening to get outside of it. The starship got out of hyper space. Both Kia & Murlock saw the sun & some of the planets that they have seen there in the Solar System. There were 9 planets there as far as she knew when she checked it up on her console. Murlock & Kia had BB-6 & R3 were checking out the planets & they have on there. They flew around the moons & planets in space until they finally came across the planet Earth. Kia looked at the wonderful planet Earth, pondering of what it has in it. Through the Force, she began to feel the presence of her fellow Jedi Knights & Masters down there, fighting against the war on terror. "I can sense the feeling of them down there, Murlock. Although, that they are safe & sound from harm." Kia said, sighing in relief, wanting to make sure that they are all alive & well in 1 piece. Murlock nodded in understanding. All 13 Jedi were all accounted for there on Earth. Kylo had sent them there, like he said in the hologram earlier.
Before they entered the Earth's atmosphere, Kia saw the machines, floating in space. She knew right there & then that those were satellites. She saw some of them near the Alderaan System when she went to go see Senator Organa with Master Kenobi, speaking about protecting Padme from the Separatists. Murlock knew it right there as well that those were satellites too. She lightly grinned. She knew that people would be asking a lot of questions of who, what, where, why & how she was there. She had a plan. "Murlock, place the ship into stealth mode, so nobody will know that we are here, but they will know the day after." Kia said.
"You got it, Master Jedi." Murlock smiled genually at her when he placed the ship into a cloaking device mode of not being detected or being seen. The starship flew down from high in the sky & it was in the evening, late at night when everyone was asleep & some, who were awake, working during the night shift. When they flew by to stay out of the way of airplanes, they saw some of the tall buildings, cities, a lot of trees, grass lands, lakes & a lot of homes there. To both Murlock & Kia, Earth was a combination of the planets Coruscant, Alderaan, Nar Shaddaa, because of the tall buildings, Dantooine, because of the green grass lands, Mustafar, because of the volcanoes, Tatooine, because of the desert areas, Naboo & Ruusan. They were amazed at what they have seen. Kia smiled at that.
Both BB-6 & R3 showed them the maps of the countries, like the United States, all of North America, Mexico, South America, Africa, India, China, Russia, England, Germany, Ireland, Spain, France, Scotland & other countries that they saw there in the holograms, but when it came to 2 of the maps of Iraq & Afghanistan that she saw, Kia sensed the presence of her fellow Jedi are still there, helping to fight against terror & training more Jedi. They were very strong in the Force. Murlock knew that she had to go help the people that her father had sent her to go to catch fugitives from Justice in North America. & he was to go to Iraq & Afghanistan to help the remaining surviving Jedi & the soldiers there.
Murlock was about to drop her off onto the ground where the trees & grass were at, which can cause winds from the starship in an area & it can cause suspicions to the people who can hear & see it. Kia stopped him from doing it any further & she gave him a serious look on her face. "Murlock, it would be best when you are to drop me off at a higher ground, like on top of a building of some sort. For an example, if you drop me off onto the ground where the trees, the ground & a lake are at, it would cause suspicions to all the people on this planet who can see, or even hear it." Kia said in her calm tone.
He looked at her & he nodded in agreement as he grinned lightly."Alright, good idea, Kia. From the console here." Murlock said as he looked into it & pointed to the console map. "There is a tall building near by here. I will drop you off there. & then I have to go to 1 of the 2 countries to help the Jedi & the soldiers there." He said. She agreed with him there. She wanted to give people a surprise drop in. She knew that they want to know who she was & what she was doing there.
The building that they saw close by, was about a mile & a half away was the FBI Headquarters of the BAU in Quantico, Virginia. Kia would learn more about it when she meets with the agents. Padme's starship hovered 15 feet above the top of the building roof in stealth mode. Before the hatch opened up, Kia stood up from the pilot's chair when she picked up her medium, large travel bag pack & she wrapped it around her shoulders. She had to make sure that her 3 lightsabers were right where they are on her in place in case of protection, or any intrusion what so ever. She got everything she needed inside her bag.
Before Kia walked towards the hatch, Murlock had to keep the ship to hover for about 4 minutes when he stood up as well & he pulled her close into his arms, still being careful of the lightsabers & the bag pack wrapped across her back. He pulled back & looked at her. "You will be careful out there, Kia. Do what you can to help them catch some criminals while you are here." He said as he patted her shoulder. Then he looked at BB-6, who was ready to go outside. "BB-6, you take care of her & do look after Kia for me, will you?" He asked. BB-6 happily beeped at him, telling him that he would protect & look after his mistress.
She locked her golden eyes with Murlock with a grin & a chuckle. "I will look out for myself & BB-6 while we are gone. We will be alright, being here." She said, quietly laughing as she patted him on the back. Murlock then sat back down into the pilot's seat to get the hatch to open. & when he opened it up, Kia called BB-6 to come over by her side. He obeyed to do so. She picked him up gracefully with no trouble at all, but the droid was a bit heavy when she picked him up, but good thing that she had strong arms. Before she was about leap out of the ship when she turned around to look at her good friend. "You take care of yourself, Murlock. My fellow Jedi are in the 2 countries. My other good friend Master Juju Naul from Ruusan is there. Ask for her. She remembers you very well. Stay safe from harm. Tell my comrades that I said hello. May the Force be with you, Murlock, always." Kia said. She would miss him dearly.
"May the Force be with you as well, Kia, always. You take good care of yourself out there & be careful. Stay safe, my good friend." Murlock said with pride.
"I will, Murlock. You keep out of harm's way. I will see you around." She said. & with that, she jumped out of the ship with BB-6 wrapped into her arms, beeping between nervousness & enthusiastically, even though it sounded like that he was going 'Whee!' & 'Ah!'
Kia landed gracefully on her feet onto the roof top of the BAU building after jumping from a 15 foot drop from the ship. She lightly placed BB-6 down, without denting him. She looked up at Padme's starship as it flew out of sight. Though, she wished she had her green Jedi Starfighter with her, but she could not fly it anymore was because after Anakin aka Darth Vader & the Clone Troopers marched on the Jedi Temple, killing other Jedi & destroyed their ships & starfighters, including Kia's back on Coruscant. Well, they were on their own now & she was alright with that. She was not complaining about it, or anything. She was used to being on her own with BB-6 when she went out on Jedi missions to save the Republic from the Trade Federations. BB-6 began rolling around & beeping in curiosity to knowing to know where they are at & trying to find a door to go inside to from the wind. It was quite windy weather out there at about 20-30 mile per hour winds. They really need to get inside & quick.
BB-6 looked up at his mistress & he beeped at her, telling her as to know where there to be a door at. Kia looked down at him & she sighed. "I know that we need to indoors, BB-6." She said loud enough through the wind. She looked around a bit to find the door to the down stairs. & there, she saw a light shining on the door near by. "Come ,BB-6, the door is over there. Come along & stay close to me." She said as she & her droid were challenging walked through the wind storm to get to the door.
When they got inside safely, Kia closed the door behind them. She & BB-6 then walked down the ramp to get to the elevator that they saw on the other side of the door with a window on it. This was new to Kia. She opened the door for her & BB-6, rushing into an elevator & she pressed a number of a floor to go on, closing the slowly sliding doors & went down on it, waiting to get on a certain floor of the BAU.
They found the floor that they were looking for. Kia & BB-6 were walking towards the 2 glass doors when a security guard saw them, passing by. The man stopped them. He looked like he was in his late 60's. He looked at them with a serious disbelieving look, wondering why a woman & a rolling metal ball were here at the FBI BAU Headquarters. & why was she wearing those odd clothes. To him, she looked like a homeless lady. "May I ask what you & that ball are doing here in a place like this in the middle of the night, ma' am?" The man asked.
BB-6 was at her side, ready to shock him to protect his mistress when Kia gave him a determined serious look. "Look, before you interrupt me, sir." Kia knew he was about to, but she stopped him there. "I am a Jedi Master. My name is Kia Naberrie of Naboo. I was sent here by my father, Kylo Juno, who was also a Jedi Master as well 20 years back before he was killed in battle." She said seriously, hoping that the man would believe her.
At her sincere words, even though, he may not be convinced that she may be 1 of them, but her words got to his attention right there & then. "You're a Jedi Master? How can you be a Jedi huh?" The security guard asked, still not her words with his arms rested across his chest & his eyebrows rose.
Kia stood there to the spot with a challenging look with BB-6 at her side still. She sighed tiredly of his not believing. "Sir, you can give me a large block, or is there something that you have, as you say 'throwing out'. I can cut that in half with my lightsabers." She said with a small smirk, still challenging him to the spot, but she was letting him know who she was & what she was.
The man looked at her as he slightly sneered at her. Well, was he a cocky 1 man. "Well, let's see what we have here." He said as he walked towards to 1 of the doors & he took out a really broken chair that needed to be thrown away into the dumpster. "Well, there's a broken chair. See what you can do with it." He paused. "Well, give it a shot." He told her with a cocky attitude as he brought the broken chair in front of her.
Kia smirked at that. She knew exactly what to do with that 1. "BB-6, stand behind me 6 feet." At that, her droid did what he was told. He rolled back 6 feet behind her. He knew what she does & he knew that she was very good at it. She looked at the man. "& sir, stand back 8 feet. I am serious about this." She said. With that, the guard stood back that much, but still, not convinced, but she would make him. After she stood in position, Kia lifted her left hand as she used the Force when she lifted the damaged chair & it floated into the air gracefully. As she was focusing on the floating chair, she took 1 of her lightsabers into her right hand. The look on his face, the man paled in his face & he was very surprised at what he saw right in front of his very eyes. Now he began to regret for challenging her of doing that & also gave her an attitude earlier. & then, Kia used Force grapple to throw the chair towards her & she quickly ignited her both lightsabers as she broke the rest of the chair into pieces without damaging the walls & the floor. She has had really quick excellent reflexes. "So, what do you think of this 1, sir?" She said with a grin when she turned off her lightsabers as BB-6 beeped at her happily that she showed the man to not to mess with a Jedi. Serves him right.
Now, that he was nice to her for the time being, the guard looked at her with both shock & amazement at the same time. "Oh, um, ok, you proved your point. I believe you now. I'm sorry from earlier. That was wrong of me for not believing you at first." He stammered a bit & he was now convinced, but he was so amazed at what she did. He stepped closer to her & he held out his hand. "Miss Naberrie, my name is John Krakowski. I'm a security guard here at the FBI Headquarters of the BAU in Quantico. It's a pleasure meeting you." He greeted her as she shook his hand in greeting. She sensed that he apologized for his arrogance from earlier. The arrogance did blind him earlier when he challenged her. & she sensed of his behavior at that. & now that they have been acquainted to each other. The he walked with her through the doors.
The other 2 FBI agents were still in their offices, finishing up their loads of case files for the night when John lead Kia & BB-6 into the bull pen. Both agents David Rossi & Aaron Hotchner looked up from their office windows at not only the security guard that walked through the glass doors, but John was walking with a lady, wearing odd clothes & a rolling metal ball at her side coming towards them. They looked at them in curiosity when the walked out of their offices.
John told Kia to sit down in 1 of the chairs to wait, so that he can speak to Hotch & Rossi that there was a Jedi in the BAU as David & Aaron both eyed Kia & her droid in surprise & amazement. She did what she was told & she sat down, waiting patiently as BB-6 came up beside her, beeping in curiosity to her, asking his mistress as to why they were looking at them. "Because, they are very curious about us & where we are from, BB-6. They will not harm us. & be nice to them. They seemed to be good people." Kia said quietly when BB-6 agreed as she gently placed her hand on his bowl shaped head with a couple antennas on top of him. The droid leaned more into her side. When John got done talking to them, David & Hotch walked up to her. Rossi could not keep his eyes off of her when he melted into her eye colors of her golden eyes. David had never seen a person with golden eyes like hers before. This was very new to both him & Hotch.
John went back to his patrol by walking around the building to make sure that nothing was more suspicious than what he had saw that very night. When John was out of an ear shot & out of sight, both David & Hotch looked at her with a kind smile on their faces. "I'm sorry, ma' am, please excuse John. He can be a bit of a cocky dumb ass sometimes when it comes to seeing new people that comes in here." Hotch said was when Kia understood the man's behavior towards her. "When my son, Jack sees you around, he's going to love you." Hotch added. He then introduced himself to her as he & Rossi shook their hands in greetings. This was the very first time that they have ever met a Jedi Master on American soil.
After the greetings, Hotch told David & Kia that he had to get home to his son, Jack from Aaron's sister in law, Jessica's house. & when Hotch left, David looked from the doors to her with a small smile. "Miss Naberrie, do you have a place to stay at? Because, if don't, I can bring you to my house if you like. & please call me David." Rossi inquired.
Kia looked at him with a chuckle. She had never protested to anything only with good people. But she only protested when the Separatists, or the Sith did anything to get her. "I would like that very much, David. & please, call me Kia." She said. David smiled at that. He liked her name. & with that said, before they walked out, Kia looked at her droid, who was about 6 feet behind her, being a little curious about Agent David Rossi. "Come along, BB-6. We are staying at David's home."She said as the droid rolled to catch up to them & they left the bull pen to go outside.
Once, they were all outside, though, there were hardly any cars in the parking lot. When they got to Rossi's car, Kia looked at his car that reminded her of the 1 like that, but a flying 1 back in Coruscant. David looked at her as he unlocked the car doors to get in. "Does this car remind you of something, Kia?" Rossi asked.
She looked at him with a smile. "Even though, I will tell you when we get to your home." Kia said politely. David agreed to that as he opened the doors for her when she placed her travel bag in the back seat. & after that, she lifted BB-6 & placed him next to her bag in the back seat as well. When she got done with that part, she got her double bladed lightsaber from behind her back & she placed it in between the seats when she made sure that she had her 2 single bladed lightsabers were on each side of her waist before she got into the passenger's seat as David got into the driver's side of his car, he asked her if she was ready to go. They looked at each other when she smiled & nodded. She then looked behind her to see her droid in the back. "Are you all set back there, BB-6? Kia asked as she light patted on his head. He beeped at her happily, telling her that he was ready than ever. She quietly laughed as she looked at Rossi. "Are you ready as well to go to your home, David?" She inquired with a smirk.
David lightly chucked when he looked her into her eyes. He sighed. "I am ready as can be, Kia. So let's go to my place & talk about you. I would like to know you better. & my team would be shocked of who I will be bringing with me first thing tomorrow morning for a possibly new case file. This is my first time to meet a Jedi Master" He said with a laugh. Kia laughed along with him & she was alright with it as Rossi turned on the engine & drove his car out of the parking lot to go to his house & stay as long as she & BB-6 liked. That this would be the new life for Kia & BB-6 on planet Earth.
