Krypton
"Hurry!"
Alura was panting as the pain in her stomach intensifies, trying to push the baby out of her womb. She was holding her husband's hands tightly as she was holding on to her life.
The moans were getting louder and louder until one point, it was completely silent.
The silence was broken when a baby girl was heard crying in the arms of her father, Zor-El. The cries were also heard out loud around the house, with some fauna roaring when they heard the crying.
There it is. Krypton's first natural birth since centuries.
After a rather uneventful council meeting ended prematurely, due to General Zod killing one of the council members in an effort to perform a coup on the governance of Krypton, Zor-El decided to retrieve the Codex to ensure a future for Krypton as the planet is nearing it's own demise. Despite successfully retrieving it, he was being chased by Zod and his army who demanded that Zor-El must give up the Codex to them.
Zor-El however did manage to reach his home, as his wife Alura was preparing an escape pod for their baby daughter.
"Did you find a world?" He asked as they were looking for a world where their baby daughter can be safe and also ensuring her future.
"Orbiting a main sequence yellow star, just as you said." said Kelex, a Kryptonian android, with a rather robotic voice.
"A yellow star, her cells will drink its radiation. It's a seemingly intelligent population."
"But she'll be an outcast, a freak. They'll kill her." Her wife, Alura, responding rather anxiously.
"How? She'll be a god to them."
"What if the ship doesn't make it? She'll die out there alone. I can't do it, I thought I could, but now she's here." Alura said in an anxious tone.
"Alura, Krypton is doomed. It's her only chance now. It's our people's only hope." Zor-El, asserting his decision to send her baby daughter far away from Krypton.
In the meantime, Kelex was warning that Zod and his army is approaching their home.
"I'll upload the Codex."
"No, wait. Just let me look at her." Alura pleading as this will be the only time they will get to see her daughter before they all die alongside Krypton.
"We'll never get to see her walk, never hear her say our names." Alura continues.
"But out there, amongst the stars, she will live." Zor-El eases out his wife's anxiety, hoping that their daughter will live.
They proceed to kiss their baby daughter's forehead for one last time, before proceeding to embed the Codex to his daughter's body. A key, shaped like the shield of the House of El was inserted into the pod.
"Goodbye, my daughter. Our hopes and dreams travel with you." Zor-El wishes his last goodbye, as both of them started to tear up.
With a push on the key, their pod carrying their daughter was readying itself for launch.
Meanwhile, Zor-El was preparing himself with a Kryptonian armor to fight against Zod, who was getting closer to his home.
Moments later, Zod and his army arrived at his home, aware of the launch.
He commanded his army to take hold of the citadel as he enters inside to meet Zor-El.
"I know you stole the Codex, Zor-El. Surrender it, and I'll let you live."
"This is a second chance for all of Krypton, not just the bloodlines you deem worthy." Zor-El uttered these words in a firm manner.
"What have you done?"
"We have a child, Zod. Krypton's first natural birth in centuries. And she will be free. Free to forge her own destiny."
"HERESY! Destroy it!" Zod shouted.
Zor-El proceeded to kill two of Zod's henchmen with his rifle, before Zod managed to disarm him, punching his face at the same time. They began to fight for their ideals. They have the same intentions, but different views. Punches and kicks were traded between these two men, both important in the governance of Krypton. Zor-El managed to outpunch Zod and retrieved his rifle.
Meanwhile, Alura was preparing the pod's launch.
"Alura, listen to me. The Codex is Krypton's future! Abort the launch!" Zod angrily pleaded with an assertive manner.
However, she ignored Zod's appeal, and with a simple push of a button, the pod carrying their daughter launched up into the skies.
"NOOO!" Zod, shocked and angry with the current situation, then stabbed Zor-El right at his chest ruthlessly. Zor-El fell into the ground, as he exhaled his one last breath. Alura ran frantically to the body of her recently deceased husband, sobbing endlessly.
"Your daughter, Alura. Where did you send her?!"
"Her name is Kara, son of Zor-El. And she's beyond your reach." Alura defiantly refuses to answer his question.
Zod commanded his army to shoot the pod down before it manages to escape Krypton. However, they failed to do so when the ship trying to shoot it down was destroyed.
And in a blink of an eye, the pod is nowhere on their sight.
The pod has escaped a dying planet, in search of a new planet.
A planet where she is able to live without limits.
Kingdom of Arendelle, Earth
"Papa, will I get to see the baby tonight?" A cheery three year old Elsa asked her father, Agdar.
Agdar, or more specifically King Agdar is a king of a rather small but prosperous kingdom named Arendelle. He is happily married with his wife, Queen Idun, and has a daughter, Princess Elsa. They have been anticipating a new member of the royal family since news of Queen Idun's pregnancy broke out nine months ago.
"Snowflake, how about you get a good night's sleep first, it's already late." Agdar, acknowledging his daughter's unnatural capabilities over ice and snow. Even he was surprised at first, when they found out her cradle is coated with snow a few fours after her birth, but they are now already used to it, believing that she is able to control it.
"First thing in the morning?" Elsa responded in a rather cute, childish voice.
"Sure, snowflake."
He left his daughter's room with a good night's kiss on her forehead, before finding his way to the royal infirmary to oversee his wife's labor.
"Hurry!"
Queen Idun was panting as the pain in her stomach intensifies, trying to push the baby out of her womb. She was holding her husband's hands tightly as she was holding on to her life.
The moans were getting louder and louder until one point, it was completely silent.
However, the silence somewhat continues. No signs of any crying for their baby.
On one of the royal doctors arms was a baby that recently came out of the womb.
A stillborn.
Everyone in the infirmary was deeply disappointed, especially Agdar.
Everyone in the kingdom have been anticipating this for months, but to come out with what is undeniably a heart-wrenching news, he just can"t afford to do it.
He can't afford to break their citizen's heart, his family's heart, his daughter's heart. He promised his sweet daughter Elsa that she will soon have a sibling to play with. However, he came up with an idea.
"Give me the baby, I know what to do." Agdar firmly commanded the royal doctors to hand him over the baby.
In a matter of minutes, he left the castle swiftly with his horse, and into the wilderness.
Lately, Agdar have read stories and lore of the rock trolls living in the forests of Arendelle. They were assumed to reside at the Valley of the Living Rock, not that far away from the North Mountain, Arendelle's highest peak.
Hours later, he arrived at the Valley of the Living Rock. However, there are no signs of the rock trolls, only moss and boulders on the stone plains. He though maybe the rock trolls are just a myth, maybe there is no way to bring his stillborn baby back to life.
Moments later, he felt a tremor. Fearing an earthquake, he was shellshocked to see boulders moving towards him. And in a blink of an eye, these boulders are alive. With eyes, nose, mouth, everything! Maybe the rock trolls do indeed exist.
"Err.. Hello.. I'm King Agdar of Arendelle." He hestitated at first.
"Your majesty!" Responded the trolls as they bow before him.
"I'm Grand Pabbie, what brings you here your majesty?" asked what seems to be the eldest of the trolls, presumably their chief.
"My baby, can you bring it back to life?"
"Your majesty, I'm afraid... we cannot do that"
The hope on Agdar's face suddenly turned to a frown, afraid that there is no way at all.
"Why?!"
"We might be magical, but life, is something more complicated, we just simply can't make something alive."
"But you have to, there must be a way!" Agdar, still holding on to his hope.
"I'm sorry but we can't!" Grand Pabbie asserting Agdar that the rock trolls have no power over life.
Shortly after that, a voice was heard from above. Seconds later, it gets louder and louder. Looking up to the skies, everybody was shocked to see a meteor coming their way.
Grand Pabbie then instructed the trolls to protect Agdar, who was panicking from the meteor. The fire gets brighter and brighter, and moments later, hit the ground, leaving a crater.
Everybody opened their eyes as shock filled their face, glancing the meteor.
Except it's not a meteor.
"What is this?" Agdar asked.
"I... don't know. It looks like some sort of compartment."
Both Agdar and Grand Pabbie neared the mysterious object falling from the skies, inspecting it. To their surprise, the object somewhat opened itself, revealing something inside it.
A beautiful baby girl.
"She looks beautiful." Agdar commented. "Please keep this a secret between the two of us." He continued.
"But why?"
"Don't tell anyone about this, not even my family, my daughter, or herself. I'm taking her as my baby daughter."
With that being said, he rode his horse back to the kingdom in a hurry.
Hours later, he arrived, rushing his way to the royal infirmary to meet his wife.
"Honey, I'm back. And she's alive."
"But how?" Idun was curious as how her baby, hours ago was a stillborn, but now, at this exact moment, is alive.
"Do you know about the myth of the rock trolls that lives at the Valley of the Living Rock? Honey, they're real, and they helped us, bringing our baby back to life."
He handed over the baby girl, who seemingly having trouble breathing, to his wife.
"Calm down, sweetheart, you're safe in Mama's hands. What should we name her, sweetheart?"
Silence follows as they were thinking of a beautiful name for their new princess.
"Anna. Let's name her Anna." Agdar, breaking the silence.
The sun was shining brightly on Arendelle. In the royal castle, a three year old princess just woke up, eager to meet her newborn sibling. She ran to her parents' room, knocking the door in a melodic tone.
"Mama, Papa, can I see the baby?" It was evident that she way very joyful that day, proven by her very cheerful smile.
Agdar opened the door to see her precious little daughter, standing there, reminding him of the promise he made yesterday night.
"Come in, snowflake, meet your sister, Anna!" He said cheerfully while pointing out to the baby girl on Idun's arms.
Elsa then impatiently rushes towards Anna, feeling very excited to finally have someone of her age to play with, someone of her age to share the joy her powers bring.
"Anna! My name is Elsa, I'm your bigger sister. I promise that I'll protect you, and I promise that we'll have lots of fun together!" She said cheerfully while waving her hands around the baby, snowflakes falling from her hands and onto the baby.
Meanwhile, the baby just smiled and giggled happily, observing the wonderful snowflakes created by her own sister.
