Jedi Knight Iolande Warrior Part 1

"General! I think you should see this."

"What is it Commander Jax?"

"We found this under a pile of rubble and boulders."

The object that he held up was a yellow jewel. But Iolande knew better.

"Where did you find this?"

"Right here. Is it what I think it is, General?"

"I believe so."

(Over comm.) "General, you have an incoming transmission from Coruscant."

"Patch it through, Blade."

"Right away."

On her holocon, an image of her master, Kit Fisto, appeared.

"Iolande, it is good to see you up and moving again. You are to report back to the temple immediately."

"But master, I have only had 2 days. I need more time if I am to find anything."

"Have you come up with anything?"

"Not yet. Only the kyber crystal from Andorra's lightsaber. Everything else if buried under a mountain of rubble and boulders."

"I am truly sorry my padowan. But the council has asked directly to see you as soon as possible. And it would be wise to heed to the council's wishes."

"Of course master. I didn't mean to be rude. I just...i haven't found what I wanted to find quite yet."

"I understand."

"I'll give the order and we'll pack up as soon as we can. We should be back at Corusant in a full rotation."

"Very good my padowan. I will see you then."

With that, the image disappeared and Iolande was left empty.

"Jax, tell the men to pack up. It's time to go."

"Sir yes sir."

Iolande went to her own makeshift tent, with the other crystal still in her hand.

"Is this all I have left of you, Keenan?"

Iolande knew what she was going to do with the crystal once she got a break in her duties. She was going to make this crystal into another double-sided lightsaber. So she could carry the only piece of her best friend with her until the end.

"I'm sure the masters won't mind."

After packing up the makeshift camp, Iolande and her squad of clones were ready to take the shuttle back to Corusant. Upon arrival a few days later, iolande found her master waiting for her.

"I know you must be exhausted, but there is important Jedi business that is waiting for you that can not wait."

"I understand master. If you and the other masters give me a few minutes, I'll go freshen up."

"Very well."

Hurrying to her own chamber, iolande quickly changed into a few set of Jedi robes and fixed her hair. She put away Andorra's kyber crystal for safe keeping. She won't want to lose the last thing she possessed of her best friend. Hastily walking to the council room, iolande pondered on why she would be called in front of the counsel. She hasn't done anything that would be worth the council's time. When she reached the door, she requested to entire. Waiting only a few seconds, she was summoned into the council room. Master Mace Windo was the first to speak.

"Step forward Padowan Warrior. It has come to our attention that Knights of the Jedi order are very few these days. And it has also come to the attention of the council that you are the most worthy adversary of the title, Jedi knight."
