(Okay, first chapter. Let's see if I can do a good story.)

(Max POV)

If you're reading this... Then you have probably doomed yourself. The Dark Lord is on our trail. And I don't know if we can beat him. Our masters never trained us for this.

I woke this morning from the same dream. I was running. My weapon was destroyed. Even though I'm faster, he's still catching up. Even at 10 yards away, I can still hear his chilling, mechanical breathing. Hwook-Hah. Hwook-Hah. I run towards a cliff. I turn and see his red saber. His deep, terrifying voice telling me, "It's over, Maximum. You can neither win, nor escape." He slowly moved closer, "You've nowhere to go."

I replied, "There's always somewhere to go, Traitor!" I jumped, and spread out my wings.

I bolted from my bed, and breathed slowly. I forced myself out of my bed, and made my way downstairs. I was greeted by my parents.

My mother, Valencia, a beautiful Hispanic woman with long black hair, and brown eyes, is always the first to greet me. She's also always dressed either in a nightgown, or in her typical Doctor's outfit. She walked up to me, and gave me a hug.

She said, "Good morning, Max. How are you feeling?" She's always concerned about me. Just how mothers are, I guess.

I replied, "I'm fine, Mom. Just..." I tried to find the right words,"Had that same dream again." It's always hard telling your mother about bad dreams.

She said, "Don't worry. I'm sure it's nothing." She placed her hands on my shoulders, and kneeled down. She smiled and said, "You know that you're safe. Your father and I won't let ANYTHING, hurt you. Any of you."

I smiled back as I said, "Gracias Mama." Thanks Mom. I then returned the hug.

She replied, "De nada, carino." We always like to talk in Spanish. It helps us keep in touch with... Our roots. But enough about that.

Then, my father Jeb, a White man with glasses, brown hair, matching eyes, and a beard, greeted me. My father was always dressed in a lab coat and formal clothes.

He asked me, "Bad dream?" He walked closer and said, "I wonder what could cause it?" My father, ever the scientist. Even when I was a baby, he was always experimenting.

I replied, "Don't worry, Dad." I hugged him, as I said, "I'm sure it's nothing." I knew it wasn't, but I couldn't really tell them why.

I got ready to make breakfast, as my parents left the room. I looked in the fridge and found... Not much. But then I heard a voice say, "Morning Max." I looked over and saw Gazzy. A young boy with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in his PJs.

I said, "Morning Gazzy." I ruffle his hair, and give him a slight little punch on the arm.

He asks, "What's for breakfast?"

I didn't tell him the bad news. I said, "It's a surprise!"

Then, I heard a loud yell. The owner of the voice said, "Who moved the table?!"

I replied, "Sorry, Iggy. The stair case just looked so empty."

Iggy, a tall boy with red hair and faded blue eyes, slowly came down the stairs, dressed in a white shirt and jeans. He yelled at me, "Just be careful! I AM blind!"

I thought angrily, Then at least ACT like you are. Bedsides, you're still linked to the you-know-what.

Then, I heard a number of footsteps coming down the stairs. I saw my little half-brother, Ari, who shared a hairstyle with our father, and was dressed in a stripped shirt, and jeans come up and hug me.

He was like a little puppy. When he didn't follow me around, he was palling around Dad. He said, "Morning, Sis."

I said, "Hey, Ari." Then, I felt something move past me. I didn't hear a sound, but I definitely felt something. Automatically though, I could sense who it is.

I turned to the cause of the disturbance. I said, "Okay, can you QUIT doing that?"

Fang, another tall boy with blue-black hair, and eyes, and olive skin, wearing dark clothing. He asked, "Quit what? Breathing?"

I said, "You know what I mean, make a sound when you move!" I pointed to a handle on my belt and said, "I was ready to take out my weapon on you!" I sighed and said, "You know what, just set the table, I'll go wake up Nudge and Angel."

I walked up the stairs and entered the room shared by the girls of my family. My half-sister Ella, who inherited our mother's long black hair and brown eyes, passed me in the hall. We just said "Hey," and moved on.

I walked into the room, and woke up Nudge. Nudge didn't want to wake up. Never does. I walked over to her, and shook her shoulder, and placed a hand through her black-brown highlighted hair, and shook her again. She woke up.

I said, "C'mon, 'nother day. Get up and face it." I then tried to get her out of bed, and she fell on the floor.

I walked over to Angel, to see her already dressed. She asked me to do her buttons. I love, love, LOVE, Angel. I don't know why. maybe it's because-

Angel said, "Maybe it's because I'm like your little girl." She then smiled, and winked.

I said, "You read my mind again." I brought her closer to me and said, "You know, we can't do that outside the house."

Angel replied, with a disappointed frown, "Yeah, I know."

Then, after we were all dressed and had our breakfast. We decided... To do a little flying. Yes, flying. We spread our wings from our backs, and begin to fly. As you can tell... We aren't 100% human.

Let's start at the beginning. I am Maximum Ride. My family. We've been on this planet for a long time. Yes, I said this planet. We're not exactly from here. My Flock is comprised of me(Max), Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazman(Gazzy) and Angel. We came to Earth from a far different world.

The world we came from is Coruscant. Capital planet of the Galactic Republic. Before that, it was our homeworld. A world that... Doesn't exist anymore. My father, and my half-brother Ari, are the only full blood citizens of Earth. My mother, half-sister, and myself and my Flock... We are from a different world.

The Flock and I... Are among the last, if not THE last surviving members... Of the Jedi order.

As we prepared to take off, I heard something. Something I hadn't expected to hear again. My comlink. I picked it up as we took off. Then, I answered and saw someone... I thought long dead.

He said, "Glad to see you again, I am. My former apprentice."

I smiled as I saw my former master. I said, "It's wonderful to see you again, Master Yoda."

(A/N: Yes. I know it's hard to follow. I know it's long. But I always had the idea of Max being Yoda's apprentice. It always interested me, but I can't write a story centered, around that premise. So, what other Jedi should mentor the Flock? Plus, I'm sure you've got questions. But, many of them will get explained in the next few chapters. But still... I need you guys, to think of Jedi, to mentor the Flock. See you in other stories.)
