The ramp of the Raptor was lowered. General Hux walked between the Stormtroopers to meet his officers following a successful mission. One that had taken months of work to finally see the results. This would truely make the First Order and its rule over all the various planetary systems unstoppable. Hux's delusions of grandeur would soon become reality. He smiled to himself and how he had made the First Order what it was today.
Behind two of his officers walking down the ramp was a small group of children. These were the future of the First Order, and Hux would be their Leader. After this, he would bow to no one.
The children were led to specially constructed quarters under heavy guard. Hux had seen to every stage of the areas constructed to house, and train the young Jedi. Their indoctrination to the ways of the First Order would be paramount. Their allegiance to the First Order would come second only to their loyalty to Hux.
The children who had only hours ago being on the planet surface, viewed their surroundings in awe. These children came from a farming community and had never seen such technology, let alone being in space. They wondered why they had been chosen and for what purpose. Their innocence and youth gave them more questions than thoughts of fear.

The star ship they were on went on for ever and ever. There were people everywhere busily going about their work. Everything was clean, all the surfaces gleamed, not like the farms and towns they came from. They finally came to a series of doors. They opened seamlessly to what appeared like a city. There were gardens and stand alone buildings. Were they still on board the ship? They were moved forward by the Stormtroopers and once inside the doors closed.
They were taken through the 'city' and found they were not the only children here. Outside all they had seen were adults but here, dressed alike in plain grey uniforms were children of various ages. They were all undertaking various training activities.

General Hux stopped and turned to face the new group a children. These were the last after months of searching. The seed had been planted after the discovery of the girl from the planet Jakku. Snoke, despite his powers, had thought the last of the Jedi would be those under Luke Skywalker's training. When the Jedi temple was destroyed and the Knights of Ren formed, these were to be the last of the Jedi, or Snoke had thought, wrongly. The discovery of the girl meant that there could be others through out the galaxy. The imbalance in the galaxy may have been the driving 'force' to the birth of such children strong in the ways of the Force. Snoke had commenced reaching out with his mind in search of the locations of younglings.
It had then been General Hux who was tasked with locating the children and bringing them back to Snoke's ship whilst a training centre was being built on board one of the Star Destroyers. Snoke had trusted him, Hux, and not his apprentice. No, Snoke's apprentice had shown weakness and Hux had seen his opportunity to strike and take control. Now he would lead, he would be instrumental in the future of these children and the supremacy of the First Order.
He would be Grand Master Hux.
