Chapter I

The Unexpected

The question that flows throughout all of time is, what is the force? The force is an energy that penetrates and binds the universe together. Some say that in its most pure form it is a river that flows adjacent to the river of time. However the force may be interpreted, it like all forms of power has to sides to the coin, a light side and a dark side. The light side and the dark side of the force are not natural occurrences that are as old as the force itself. For when the force was created in the beginning of the universe the light and the dark, while they existed were one in the same, a form of balance. As time went on all forms of life began to use the force in ways of survival, this is what led to its discovery. One group of people would learn the ways of the force and use it to keep peace, the jedi order. However after many years the jedi found an enemy that made the dark side as it is to this day, this was the Sith empire. However in one galaxy the force was not discovered until a time of great strife and bloodshed. World War I, this is where our tale begins, this is where the natives of Earth, the humans, discovered the force.

"Take cover!" That was all that he could register before an artillery shell landed only six feet to his left, just barely out of the blast range. That didn't mean he didn't stumble from the explosion. His commanding officer Sergeant Hoskin came up to him and pulled him up from off the ground.

"Get off your ass son unless you want to end up like those boys to your left." Private Jackson Delrios quickly shook his as he grabbed his rifle and loaded it and looked towards the sergeant. "Well get going boy. We've almost reached Berlin." Hoskin pushed the private towards the front most trench path as they began to keep moving. They turned a corner and Sergeant Hoskin was shot dead in the heart. Once his body hit the floor several German soldiers were standing right in front of him in French military outfits.

"Nooooo!" Jackson cried out as he pushed his hands out as one of the soldiers came running at him with a knife, and to his surprise they were sent flying into the blast of an artillery shell. He fell on his knees as he looked at his hands in fear and shock. "What am I?" He kept asking as he rocked himself on the ground. After several minutes of doing this the general in charge of the American forces in Europe came up to him and knelt down besides the young private. Jackson looked to his right and saw General Pershing. He gave a weak salute and looked back down to his hands in fear.

"Are you okay son?" The military general was trying to empathetic with the private.

"Sir, I'm a freak. I have these strange powers that I just can't explain, and they scare me." The young private was sure he would be sent back to America and be studied on. "Please sir, just kill me."

"Now why would I kill you Private, Jackson Derios?" The general asked while looking at Jackson's dog tags. "I've heard a lot of stories about your squad from your commanding officer Sergeant Hoskins." Then Pershing looked in front of him and saw the very same sergeant he just named dead on the ground. "Come on son, I have a few people that I want you to meet in person. I think that they might be able to explain your situation better than I can." Pershing stood up and walked to the soldiers that came with him and told them to go on ahead. He beckoned for Jackson to follow him, and after a few minutes the distraught private did just that he followed. After navigating their way through the maze of trenches they reached the end of the bunkers and walked out to a building just two yards from the trenches. Pershing walked up to the door and knocked on the door in a pattern. The door opened and the two of them walked into the building. Jackson was so caught up in looking around he never realised that the door had closed until a hand was put on his shoulders. He looked around really quickly and saw a small white man with big glasses on his face. The young private guessed he had to be about twenty years old, for all he knew he could've been twelve.

"You know I don't like it when you bring privates into this building general." The short man shot a look towards Pershing before he went back to eyeing the private.

"I know that Doctor Shnen, but I believe that this boy I what you would call a sensitive subject."

Doctor Shnen then gave a very amused look before he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. In response several men came in with amused looks on their faces, one of them looked familiar to Jackson. He looked at the one who looked familiar, tall, brown skin, black hair, hazel eyes, of course this was the man who had wanted to show him something a while ago. However, because his squad was still alive, he had respectfully declined. "I knew that you would come to us one day private. I saw happening in my visions during my meditation time."

"Mr. Rockaras, if you could please be silent. We don't want to scare the boy know do we." The doctor shot a look at the man when he looked back to the private. "If you could please lift your hand my boy." Jackson did so and lifted his hand for the doctor. "Open palm please." Jackson opened his hand and then the short doctor put a small rock in his hand. "Now concentrate, but don't concentrate too much now, just let your instincts guide you." Jackson closed his eyes and began to breath, and all of the sudden he began to feel far more stronger than he ever had. He feel waves of energy coming off of the men that had entered the room. For some reason he could see them surging off of Rockaras even with his eyes closed, whatever he was gifted with, these men were gifted with it as well. He forced himself to open his eyes and saw that the stone was floating two inches off of his hands. His face turned from curiosity to shock as well as his emotions causing the rock to fall onto his hands and then roll out of it. It just never hit the ground, Rockaras had his hand open up quickly and the rock shot into his hand and he closed it as soon as he caught it. He lifted it up and opened his hand, and in it was the rock standing on a tip with perfect balance.

"You are just like us Jackson, you have been born with an incredible gift. You are here to learn how to master and use that gift for the benefit of all mankind." Rockaras was right, he was a soldier for the allies, and he know knew he had an incredible gift like this, why not use it for all of humanity to benefit.

"Your right. I have this gift for a reason, will, will you teach me in the ways of this, force?"

"You have always been able to enter private. Plus, I think you just came up with a good name my friend." The doctor was excited he had just built a highly skilled team for the world to have guidance from. "These are your teammates. You already know Mr Rockaras, this is Mr. Jackalton, Mr. Hivan, and Mr. Albond. These men will teach you how to use the newly named force and help you find more force sensitives. I shall help with my scanners when my help is needed.

Seven months later

"I believe that these men are the key to keeping peace in our future. They have worked hard for a life of dedication to keeping peace and protecting justice on earth." Dr. Shnen was in front of the entire council of world leaders that had participated in the war except the newly named U.S.S.R., Germany, Austria Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. He was forced to tell the entire council about his project and many of them save president Woodrow Wilson were against the plan. "I shall stand with them, even after I die. They are a close group of men who have fought for all of use to be here today, and if you ask me I believe that they should be able to carry out their plan."

"I understand your passion for their plan doctor, it's because you helped build their team. For all we know their real plan is to take over the world. I vote that this council votes to end these people." In one simple motion, everyone but the president raised his hand for the vote that would change the entire future. "Good doctor, the leaders present have voted for your team of people to be executed. Now i say we vote for all people like them to be hunted down and executed." Again, everyone but the president of the U.S. raised their hands. "Very well then, from henceforth all force sensitives shall be hunt down and executed on sight by order of the Versaille council has voted that anyone whom is force sensitive shall be hunted down and executed upon capture."
