Long, Long Ago. in a Place Far, Far Away

Long, long ago. In a place far, far away… A time has come to change the past. As the rebel force fought boldly with the Krue government and the under lords, a new life was born. During this time when tow different systems crossed one another, this child grew to learn of his destiny. The quest to bring true justice to the people, to form a new order. This is a story of this child. Let us now learn what he had learned and see what he had seen in the story Force Beholder.

Chapter One Him

Under the twilight glistering of an unknown space, there lays reflecting, another glistering night sky. At least anyone not familiar with the system would have mistaken the many shining sparkles of the cities in Hygaia. What more, creatures that came to this system would have found a more surprising matter! There’s no daylight, only night! What created this effect, no one knows. All they know is their sun is like any other sun, all but for the light. Their amazing dark sun even releases enough heat to enable inhabitation of over 10 planets, and each has developed into highly populated industrial cities. Oliver, our hero, was born in one of these cities. Having been born without a family, he was soon taken into the slave trading business and was not much later taken to work in one of the many mines. The mine owners had always been more delighted to have children instead of adults. You see, adults are more likely to ask for more, and they are much more valuable if killed. Also, children are more likely to fit in the many narrow tunnels in the mines. Poor Oliver had never known any other place other the little mine works in for as long as he had existed this world. Ever since he was born he had been taken by his master and placed in the barn where thousands of other children like him lived in pain and agony. No one from the outside world would have understood the inhuman ways of their lives. Day after day, they worked in all their waking hours and get only three meals of watery porridge over each work-day. If they don't work, they get none. In addition to starvation, the children are often locked up if they spend a day working without finds. The easier way to explain their lives would be to say that they have none, or at least they were treated no better than the master's pet, or even worse I think. Starved sick with hunger, the children dreamed of nothing but for a full meal once in their weak life. On one unusual occasion Oliver was chosen to ask for more food after meal one working day. Being given the noble quest of proposing the good of over 1000 slave children, Oliver picked his courage up after one very quick meal of watery porridge and took stance in front of their master. With the thought of the frightful Beevider Mr. Bumble in his head, little Oliver hesitated not less than 1 minute before the master requested what the problem was with annoyance. Oliver staggered over his word as he spoke, but before he could finish his sentence he was cut off by the angry grunt of Mr. Bumble who dragged Oliver out of the room. There was no sight of Oliver at early meal the next day, or the coming week. No one knew where he went, and no one cared. Never was Oliver again to set foot in the slave house, and never will he be given the chance to. That was, not as long as he is sold off to the Tombman on a world called Scaricia. Scarcia was the burial ground for almost all of the population in Hygaia. As always before, Oliver received no better treatment than he did at his master’s place. Even though he was given meat to eat everyday, he was bullied also everyday by the miserable Noah. Out of total jealousy since Oliver soon caught the Tombman’s attention and interest, the old apprentice Noah took kicks out on Oliver to smooth out his anger. Much frightened by Noah and the thought of Mr. Bumble, who came for visits every now and then, poor Oliver spent much of his days hiding away in his little corner beside various coffins and dreamed of a paradise beyond his reach. No one would have believed that sad little creature could be filled with an unthinkable power until the day Noah provoked him in a way he could not bear. Noah called Oliver’s mother a whore! At these words, Oliver sprung up high in mid-air and came down on Noah like a falcon to its prey. From Oliver’s hands sparked out shots of lightens crawling over Noah’s face and neck. Noah’s painful scream frightened Oliver enough to cause him to run away from the house into the open darkness outside. Staggering on without lead, our young hero started a journey into a world beyond his dreams, a trip to alter the history.

Chapter Two Underworld

A smuggler’s ship named the Hriszen was docking in a spaceport not far from where the Tombman lived. This was the only place for smugglers to gather their supplies at cheapest rate and without being caught by the security of the government. A sad thing though, nowadays this spaceport really had no meaning of existing. Since most of the securities had been bought or bribed by the under lords, and most of the smugglers had enough power to provide themselves with all the supplies they needed through stealing and thieving. Oliver, stumbling from a night’s run towards new freedom, found himself standing in front of the Hriszen looking straight into the bright artificial lights that hung over every window of the seeming gigantic ship. The Hriszen was actually a small-sized vehicle designed for speed more than for cargo. Still, to Oliver, it was the largest ship he had ever seen in his life, and more lights than ever had he known. Quite shocked Oliver stood there with amazement and was deep in interest when a voice started him from behind. It was the smuggler Dodger who owned the ship. Dodger was talking to someone from the spaceport about some extra supplies needed as he walked back to his ship. Afraid of being caught Oliver did the only thing he knew to do, hide! He ran off like a mad dog, straight into the only shelter in sight not knowing it was to take off in minutes to come. Soon, the Hriszen took off, with the smuggler Dodger in the cockpit and little Oliver in the cargo bay, hidden in one of the smuggled junk. Life begun new for Oliver when he was found. Dodger had taken Oliver all the way across the galaxy to the smuggler’s world in the Trainsia System. This was not a system known to most people. Only the smugglers knew of this place, and only they knew how to get to the place safely since there was no way of navigating around the system. A nature force field was created by the uncommon black holes surrounding the area. It’s a miracle that any life could survive in an environment so harsh, but instead a whole colony of smugglers, bounty hunters, and under lords thrived under the protection of the black holes. That goes for Fagin, a red headed, fox-like Jelitan under lord, as well. Fagin who was the master of Dodger soon took in Oliver. Not much longer had Oliver showed up in this life did he find himself on the way to take smuggling as a lifetime job. The child’s mind was filled with stories of exciting smuggling adventures. The under lord also took special care of Oliver, often speaking to him in the calming voice of a father, or teacher. Oliver soon learned many tricks and ways to avoid trouble. The little soul felt loved, and soon he was eager to help out with his part. Do his share to keep this new family he had found going. This would perhaps be the reason for his joy when he was told of going on a smuggling trip with Dodger and a new friend Charley. Now, this was the first time Oliver’s been out to the adventure, and already they’re out for some big dips. Dodger was told to take them to Proloby System and pick up a cargo of weaponry stolen from the rebels stalling in that system. Charley was to collect some data about the rebel’s whereabouts so they could sell the information to the useless government for safety during their smuggling trips. So off they go, to the system of Proloby! If there had been a well-devised plan, this trip might have made Oliver a new and true smuggler. With his unknown power and force, he could have become the greatest under lord of all times! But there was not a plan about how they would do the job, so they ended up with no information and the lost of Oliver as the rebels fired away at the Hriszen. Oliver, left behind in a place he knew nothing of, and accused of spying for the Krue government, was soon taken in court by the rebel force. The only chance now to save Oliver now, was a miracle. Chapter Three Love

Not much longer had Dodger gotten back to Fagin the news of Oliver’s capture had Sikes, a bounty hunter and spy for the Krue government, came around to see Fagin. Sikes and Fagin had been longtime friends who based their friendship on uses of one another. He came because Fagin had sent for him to help with the matter. Fagin, enraged by the knowledge of Oliver’s capture, was racing about the dinning room without leads. The possibilities of Oliver telling the rebel of the under lords’ whereabouts were a great fear! For since the many days Oliver had stayed with Fagin, he had found and learned many different things about the underworld, even how to get in and out of their protected system. The rebel, dying to have the under lords taken out would surely ask Oliver such a question, and Oliver being so innocent would most likely to give in and reveal all that the rebel needed to know! Fear seized Fagin’s heart and soul. He quickly devised a plan with Sikes. Sikes and his girl Nancy was dispatched to figure out what Oliver had told the rebel, and bring Oliver back. Meanwhile the rebel court of order Oliver was being trialed. He was accused of spying for the Government of Krue. Having had a frightening experience, and a weak body from days of work, Oliver fainted before the judge without speaking a single word. As Oliver lay there without sense, an old gentleman who came from a faraway galaxy felt something in the boy. Yes, there was the familiar feeling he had been longing for. The old gentleman walked forward to face the judge and requested that Oliver be pronounced innocent. The judge paid no attention to the gentleman’s request and was on to sentence Oliver death when a cabin boy ran in with a report. The report stated that according to the DNA trail left behind by the spy, Oliver was indeed not guilty of the crime. The court was adjourned and Oliver left lying on the ground to live or die. After days and days of rest, Oliver woke with calmness in mind that he had never known before. He opened his eyes to the face of a kind woman who gave Oliver a sweet smile of love. Feeling much appreciated by that smile; Oliver smiled back with that same tenderness mixed with certain childish purity. All Oliver remembered was the room being lined with white cloth before he fell back into a deeper sleep. A deeper sleep with a loving voice, which spoke words of care to his soul. Mr. Brownlow was the old gentleman who kindly took Oliver in. Having had felt something different in the child, Mr. Brownlow was off to disclose the power the boy contained. As soon as Oliver recovered from his weakness Mr. Brownlow betook the task of telling Oliver the stories of a forceful people. He spoke of a people who could fly in the sky and read each other’s minds. A land where peace seemed to be the only existing matter, and love was the reason of life. Oliver was much touched by the thoughts of such a land, but he felt unfitting to ever have the chance to go there. Still Mr. Brownlow obtained full faith in Oliver. Mr. Grimwig, another old gentleman who had accompanied Mr. Brownlow on his trip to this galaxy, suspected Oliver’s purity. In the end, he and Mr. Brownlow agreed to test Oliver by sending him out to deliver an important piece of information to the rebel headquarter. Overjoyed with the knowledge of being useful at last, Oliver headed toward the headquarter with the information electric disk. He would never have imagined the following mishaps for before he had the chance to run, Oliver was taken off the world in a ship named the Maiganda, piloted by Sikes.

Chapter Four Danger!

For the many days back in the Transia System Oliver was kept inside by Fagin. Slowly, and with splendid of stories and songs, Fagin brainwashed Oliver with ideas of stealing from others, or spying for money. Oliver’s mind was soon filled with adventures and excitement of a rubbery trip, or some dark event. The little pure soul was soon stained with thoughts of violence and evil, but the smoothing voice in Oliver’s dreams spoke to him of right and wrong, the voice tried to drain Oliver of the dark thoughts and evil deeds. Not knowing of the voice that teaches Oliver to unlearn what he had learned every waking day, Fagin soon thought Oliver was ready for some really big job. It was a job that would win Fagin all the power that he needed, and the Krue government all the information they needed to defeat the rebel. Sikes walked straight across the half-broken down hallway of Fagin’s hidden palace. The grayish Operi plant clung itself on the metal structure and ate way the material while protecting it with its large leaves. Behind the door of which Sikes stepped through sounds of whisper could be heard. It seemed like Sikes and Fagin were planning on an extremely dangerous, but great quest. They were going to steal the information of all the rebel forces’ whereabouts, their weaponry, the list of people involved, and so on. It would be the greatest hit they had ever done, and if they succeeded, the Krue government promised riches and power beyond believe! How could men like Fagin and Sikes resist such a lure? So it was decided that Sikes would take Oliver to do the job since Oliver had already seen enough of the rebel headquarter to know where he’s going. Also, Oliver could easily hide and move around in the air vents going to every room. Sikes took Oliver back to the Proloby System without telling him of the purpose. There was no need. When Oliver heard the reason of their returning his mind was filled with the thoughts of the kind old gentleman. Giving the Krue government information of the rebel would only place the gentleman in extreme danger. A courage rose from Oliver’s breast, he was determined to make sure that it did not happen. When they reached the hidden building where the rebel headquarter were stationed, Oliver was told to enter from a small air vent on the side of the building. Instead of doing as told, Oliver ran toward the front entrance and with some unknown force caused Sikes’ laser pistol to fire a shot of alarm! In a split of a second, Oliver was folded in a crossfire of laser shots and smoke. Lights and colors surrounded the shocked child. Suddenly Oliver fell to the ground as a ray of green lighten blazed across his arm. When the crossfire subceeded and the smoke cleared apart Oliver was found lying in a ditch nearby the air vents.

Chapter Five The Force

There was a princess named Rose who was considered a great leader by the rebel. She had a caring heart for every soul, and that was one of the reasons her people worked so faithfully for her. All knew that she only had hearts for the good of her people. In this sense, when Oliver was brought to medical care she felt great grieve in seeing his wounded body. Immediately she took Oliver into her own concern. Oliver rested in her palace chamber and her often visits only brought even more love toward this child. The touching story of Oliver’s life even caused the doctor who healed him great concern over his future. During the time Oliver stayed at the palace, he earned a better health, and a greater affection from Rose and everyone who were near him. Often times he entertained her with tricks that amazed many eyes. He would throw pedals of sweet smelling flowers into air and create swirls of colors circling the room. Other times he would make a sculpture of Rose out of sand. The tricks were taught by the old gentleman who saved Oliver before. A few years passed by, and Oliver grew into a strong young teen. Now, Oliver’s mind was filled with thoughts to help the suffering people as taught by Rose. Through many visions Oliver had over the years, he learned the ways of the Force. It was something that surrounded all living things. The visions also told him that it was his responsibility to create a new order in the rotten system of the Krue government. Oliver must seek for more like him. Together he was certain that they could bring true justice to the society. They should all be alike with the ability to see people’s souls, and to tell the light or dark of a man’s words. They would foretell the coming future and prevent the happening of unhappy costs. It would be a new court of order, something that would become the foundation of the forming republic government. Hopes should be brought back to the people. Even with this force, Oliver was not yet ready to fulfill his destiny. There was still too much about this force that Oliver do not know. Still, with the little he knew of how to work with the force, Oliver had proven a threat to the Krue government. If Oliver was let to do as he liked he would surly kick the emperor of the Krue government off his throne one day. In fear of this happening, the Krue government took care that Oliver will never live any longer than necessary. They sent Sikes, now an assassin, after Oliver. Being wanted by the government for the murder of Nancy and unwelcome back at the underworld, Sikes had been a star loner for many years now. The Krue government promised Sikes a new place to stay, and a discharge from his warrant if he would have Oliver killed. Sikes took the job without a word, and was off on his way to finish the work. What he had underestimated was the power that Oliver now possessed.

Chapter Six How Life Runs Itself

Sikes never accomplished his mission. Even before his departure to the Proloby System, a vision had brought Oliver the information of his evil quest. As soon as Sikes stepped off his ship, the rebel troops took him away. What happened of him was unknown. Fagin lost his place as an under lord after a deadly strike from the rebel force. Yet Oliver let him live in return for the care Fagin gave him when he first stepped into the world. Fagin never found a truthful job, and was soon murdered by one of his followers. Rose found herself a loved one and was married. She still paid much attention to the rebel force, but spent more time with her people in the Proloby System. She and her husband were stated as the greatest ruler of time. Their republic rule introduced to the people a new government: A government that was formed by the people, and ruled by the people. This was truly a new beginning, and this beginning gave the people more reason than ever to listen to the rebel instead of the Krue government. Oliver had sent for Mr. Brownlow a while back. There were just too many answers that he wanted to know. Until Oliver was 15, Mr. Brownlow never answered the calls. One evening Mr. Brownlow just appeared from nowhere and took Oliver away with him to a faraway place. Home they went, to the place Oliver came from, to the place of the Force. Mr. Brownlow took Oliver to the galaxy of Jedeas Yulopsia. It was a galaxy filled with people like Oliver, everyone there was connected to one another in heart and soul. Oliver was taken to meet with the queen who ruled the galaxy and from her he learned all the things he wanted to know. She had been the voice in Oliver’s dreams. Years and years later Oliver returned to the Proloby System. This time he was totally different from before. He carried a new mission. Now a noble quest had begun to bring for people in this galaxy the same peacefulness from his homeland. With a fully learned skill in the Force he now sought out many others like him. They were seeds of justice and peace planted in this galaxy. Together they would bring hope and light to the people. A new Court of Order was formed. A new set of rules. A new system of justice. In the light a voice whispered of the coming new age. Oliver and the others continued to look for more of their kind. Passing on their skills and learnings they connected a great group of powerful people. As they spread across the galaxy they became an important force for the rebel. They brought for the rebel trust from the people and a connection unable with computers or digital devices. The people grew and carried on with their mission even until this day. The same mission to bring peace and justice to all. They were called the Jedi.
