Eight hours after the council meeting, Joseph and Parker woke up from a nap. Parker moved to Joseph's room since he was going to begin his training.
"Alright Parker, let's get up, meet me in the third floor, room 340." Joseph said.
"Got it." Parker said as he was getting out.

  Parker finally found the room after half an hour. He saw Joseph standing next to a wall, looking at a statue.
  "Your late." Joseph said.
  "Sorry, I lost my way." Parker replied.
   "Fair enough I suppose." Joseph said. "What are some of the questions you want to ask?" Joseph turned around to see Parker standing near the entrance of the room with a bag.
  "Um, yes I do. What is the weapon you use in combat, and what is going on, what is the government not telling us?"
  "Well, the weapon is use, is an energy sword, otherwise known as, a lightsaber." Joseph pulled out his handle to show Parker, he then ignited the blue crystal blade. "This is the weapon the force sensitive use, the powers that no normal humans have. Like the power of the Sith and Jedi from Star Wars. Only, it's real."
  Parker seemed amazed and shocked. "You mean that Star Wars is real?"
  "Yes, the aspect of the force, is true. The Sith are real, the enemies known as Darth Crane, who you saw. And the Jedi are real, the light side users in the International Security Division."
  "I heard Dave talking about me being a target. What does that mean?" Parker asked, a little startled in his tone.
  "Your 17, your smart, and I sense that your much smarter then you seem on the outside. It's hard to explain, the force, calls to you, but it doesn't give you the powers." Joseph tried to explain. "Your mind, can weakly sense danger, and feel emotions with loved ones, and have some knowledge we do with the force, but you can't use the abilities."
"What?" Parker sounded confused.
"Your smarter then you think. The force has strong connection to your mind, if you use it, you can become very wise and coordinate more then the average person. You are, nothing this agency has seen before."
"So, I have a brighter mind then anyone else, but I didn't know it?"
"Exactly, and now. I'm taking the liberty to train you, as a friend, and mentor." A smile came on Joseph's face. "Now, our world is at war. The Dark Army, is attacking us, and our allies. They knew your power as well as Master Mela and I. It's more complicated but I will tell you more as your training progresses."
"One last thing. Do aliens exist, since elements of Star Wars exist?"
Joseph stared at Parker. Then he took a sigh. "Yes." Parker looked nervous. "Area 51, has subjects of...species. It doesn't match any DNA to any living species on Earth... we call them, Akworks. We have been working closely with Area 51, the government didn't tell the world this, because we feared that there would be panic. And our enemies would launch attack against us, steal, experiment, and find a way to clone before we do." Joseph looked at Parker. "Until further notice, you must not, and I mean not, tell anyone this information, it is highly classified. Only the top members of the I.S.D know this, and he president and Vice President with the Secretary of State."
"Got it, so what now?" Parker asked.
"Training." Joseph got a rifle that looked futuristic with a blue lights in the barrel of the gun. He tossed it to Parker. "Now, shot at that target." Joseph pointed towards a target about 500 feet away. Parker nodded, aimed, and shot.

BAM! A target was hit. "Good job." Said a voice. Deep within South America, in a snowy biome was a secret base. A group of fighters were training.
  "Thank you sir." Replied the shooter.
  "That wasn't a compliment." The man gave a disgraceful look. "We don't need good. We need excellence. Magnificent, mind blowing out of the box job! Not a good job, you failed!" The man got out a whip and slashed it at the shooter. They were in a room and dozens of shooters were there. "Fools! Have I taught you nothing!" He walked around, holding the whip. "We are the Dark Army, we need to be feared! And powerful, but in order to do that, we need top of the line troops! Not the mediocre good! That is bad, we need excellence, not great. Extraordinary sharp shooters, not ordinary. Darth Crane wants perfection. Get it right. What are you all standing around for, get training, now!" The man yelled. He then walked or of the room, to a conference room.
"Commander Harr, when will the troops be ready?" Said a Darth Crane. "Will they be efficient to carry out my masters plan?"
  Harr took a gulp. "Yes sir, yes." Darth Crane turned around and faced Harr.
  "Look into the eyes of my mask." Darth Crane wore a mask that was dark colored. Inside the eyes of the mask, the yellow of his eyes could show faintly. "Are you lying to me? I have been watching you. My master will be displease by your...lack of command."
  "Sir, I promise my troops will be ready. They will carry the plan out just as we planned it, I guarantee that." Harr said.
  "I hope so, Harr. For your sake." Then Darth Crane walked away. He went down the set of stairs a few feet from the conference room. Then he walked down a long hallway to the very end. He used the force to open the door, and shut them behind him. He kneeled down in front of a large screen. The room was in darkness, until the light of the screen turned on.
"Lord Crane..." Silence went in the room for 5 seconds. "Rise." A man said in a dark, and scaring voice.
"Yes master?" Crane asked.
"How are Commander Harr's men?" The man said.
"Not ready, they are lacking the skills of fear."
"Send them to the Amazon. That will be there test, if they fail, you choose a new commander, one far more stronger, and dispose of Harr." Then the screen turned off.
"Yes master, it will be done." Crane said.

Two hours later, Joseph and Parker continuing the training.
"Your skills are improving very fast. I'm proud of you Parker." Joseph said with a smile. Then an agent came in and whispered to Joseph. Joseph nodded and then started to pack up.
"Parker, pack up." Joseph seemed to be in a rush.
"What's wrong?" Parker asked.
"The Amazon in Brazil is under attack. You are going on your first mission. Come, quickly!"
