Star Ocean is owned by Square-Enix and I own the original characters. Trust me there will be a lot of original characters.
Author's Notes: Now here is the first chapter of a whole new adventure. I'm still trying to figure in the whole War of the Worlds thing from the title into the plot of this fic. Whatever I come up with will be part of the plot later on in the fic.
Chapter 1: It's only the beginning
Tim Lansfield walked down the corridor of the Federation ship, the Nirvana. Tim had brown hair and brown eyes. He wore the traditional Federation uniform for lower ranked officer in the Pangalactic Federation. He had a pair of gold rimmed glasses on his face. As he walked down the corridor to his position in the research and development labs, he didn't watch where he was going. Actually he was looking at a data disk inside his scanner. He bumped into a fellow officer and one that had the same rank he had; despite the fact that she is younger than him. The officer was a female with dark red hair that went to her shoulders and had blue eyes. Tim accidently knocked her scanner out of her hand when he bumped into her.
"Oh sorry." Tim said. "Here let me get that for you."
Tim bent over and picked up her scanner. When he went to hand it to her. He stopped and started staring. Looks like this is a classic case of love at first sight.
"Umm are you going to give me my scanner back?" the girl asked.
"What? Oh sorry." Tim broke out of his daze and handed her the scanner.
"My name is Tim Lansfield." Tim extended his hand.
"Colette Burnside." Colette shook his hand.
"I was wondering if you're not busy. We can meet in the lounge and have a drink later." Tim was nervous.
"Sure, how about tomorrow. I'm busy tonight." Colette said.
"Okay, great. I'll see you tomorrow then." Tim walked away and Colette did the same. Colette however watched Tim as he walked away.
'Damn he was handsome.' Colette thought.

Later Tim and a friend of his, a Vendeeni named Draco, sat in the bar onboard the Nirvana.
"So what are you guys in the Federation R&D Division cooking up for us this time?" Draco asked.
"Well we're doing a Symbology weapon. Like the kind being used on Elicoor II right now. So we're going to the research station orbiting Elicoor II to finish. Of course we have to meet with a few scientists in Aquios to see their strongest Runological weapon to date." Tim said.
"And this is going to do what exactly?" Draco asked.
"Probably end any war that ever happens." Tim said. "That's my hope."
"There you go again with that pacifist crap. Tim you're going to learn that sooner or later, ther will be no universal peace. There were always be conflict. Whether you like it or not."
"I just have to keep believing that peace is possible."
"It is Tim, but not a neverending peace."
"Well this weapon will be one step closer to reaching my dreams."
"Whatever you say."

The next day Colette, Draco and Tim were scheduled to meet in the labs before their ship left for the station. The Nirvana was currently docked at a space station for the three to leave and board a new ship. Tim and Draco had no clue that Colette was even on the research team to build the weapon. They were later told that they'll be briefed when they reach the station. Before they even go down onto the planet. They were later handed over to a male Klausian with blonde hair in a military buzz cut and a female Earthling with dark brown hair and blue highlights.
"My name is Ensign Kit Coolers and this is my girlfriend and fellow security officer Amanda Kauffman." the blonde Klausian said.
"Nice to meet you three." Amanda said witha smile.
"We'll be using a civilian transport because we don't want to alert any enemy forces to what we're planning to do."
Tim let out a groan, he wasn't even trying to hide it.
"Something wrong?" Kit asked.
"Don't mind him." Draco said. "He's a total pacifist."
Kit nods. "I understand the feeling. Well lets get you three situated onboard."

The civilian transport ship, the Wasp, left the station and went into gravitic warp. They reached Elicoor II in two hours. Afterwards, John and Amanda took the three to their rooms before going to theirs. Stating that the two of them are the team's bodyguards for the remainder of the trip.
"So tell me about this spacestation Tim." Colette asked when they were in a indoor park on the station.
"Well this station was built after the Vandeen incident a hundred years ago. Back then Fayt Leingod and Cliff Fittir were stranded on this planet with their friend Mirage Koas. Eventually the Vandeen, who were after Fayt for his Symbological genes, invaded the planet after a deciding battle. The war between Airaglyph and Aquaria came to a abrupt end right after the Vandeen showed up. I'm surprised you haven't learned about it in the academy. Everybody should know it because the UP3 was changed after that said incident."
"Well I had no interest in the UP3, despite knowing that developed planets are not to know about advanced planets."
"Well at least you know the UP3." Tim said with a smile. "I guess I don't have to tell you that."
"What are you guys talking about?" John asked as he walks over to the two with Amanda and Draco in tow.
"Nothing, just this station." Tim said.
"Nice station, don't you think? This place was set up because of what happened a century ago. The incident lead to the 4D War." John looks at the party. "I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry."
"Well we haven't eaten all day John." Amanda said. "Let's go. I hear they're serving curry in the cafeteria today."
They all walk towards the cafeteria. "That woman and her love for spicy foods. I guess that's why I love her so much."

As Colette and Draco looked over the schematics of the weapon they're going to look at tomorrow, Tim took a walk through the station, until he saw a sign that read:
Tonight only! Hover Derby at it's finest. See the rookie Karla "Cheetah" Kurosaga skate against veteren Lucky Stars. Tickets on sale now and game starts at 8 PM. Be there or be square.
'Hover Derby?' Tim thought. 'That sport has had more combacks and falls than any sport in the universe. This sport was known as roller derby back in the twentith century, but when hover skates were invented, the name changed. Despite the rise and decline of it's popularity. It just won't go away. I guess it's back and it's here to stay. I should get a ticket and see the game. Just to unwind till tomorrow.'
Tim got the last ticket and said he was going to the game. There were no objections from his friends. They just told him to have a good time and they continued looking over the new weapon.
Author's Comment: I'm just going to stop here. Already I introduced five party members, including the main character of this story. Inchapters three and fourI'm going to introduce the last three party members. There may be more possible party members as the story moves on. I know I have to have the cocky swordsman that is the best swordsman on the planet. I also wanted to end it here because of the upcoming character, Karla. I want to try and write a vivid account of the hover derby game Tim goes to see on the station, instead of the paragraphs that I'm used to writing on the subject of roller derby. Which is evident in some my more recent works.
