Hi guys. Now that all the introductions are out of the way, let us move onto what we are waiting for. Anakin, Obi-Wan, the 501st and 212th going to Arendelle and let me just say that it will live up to your expectations. Now before we go to the main story a couple of things. With the songs I'm not going to describe every little detail in that scene. Just the lyrics so if you need the visual help it would be wise to use YouTube. Second no one from TCW is singing. Despite the fact that Disney has bought the franchise I'm not including it. Though I'll probably include Anakin and/or the Clones questioning the logic or asking why that person or people are singing in the first place.
Anyway less talking more writing.
Sunshine cascaded through the flats of the Senate Apartment Complex. It was a clear and peaceful morning. Compared to when the Separatists decided to invade the capitol of the Galactic Republic a few days ago. Anakin was already up and dressed, meditating on the balcony. With his eyes closed and his breathing at a calm rhythm, he began seeing his visions a lot more clearly.
(Force vision)
Anakin was standing in a Throne Room as a spectre. The scene in front of him was of tranquillity, though that didn't last too long. Suddenly too small children running around one with blonde hair and wearing blue. The other with red hair and wearing green. Realisation struck Anakin almost immediately as he recognised the two girls from the hologram as Elsa and Anna. Suddenly he heard Anna shouting.
"Do the magic, do the magic." Elsa began waving her hands in front as a blue glowing snowball began to form. Anna was looking at it with an intense curiosity. Elsa then asked.
"Are you ready?" In a small voice. Anna simply nodded. Then in one motion Elsa flung her hands above her head as the snowball shot up and exploded raining snowflakes and gradually covering the room in snow. Anna once again bouncing on her feet shouted.
"This is amazing." Whilst running around trying to grab the snowflakes as they fell. When she ran back to her original spot, Elsa whispered to her.
"Watch this." She then stamped her foot onto the floor and immediately ice flowed out and Anna began sliding along, holding out her arms for balance and still giggling.
Anakin was amused with the scene he was watching. It reminded him of what Obi-Wan had said about the two Princesses having a happy childhood. Watching he turned to notice a new figure enters the throne room unbeknownst to the laughing children. The person looked like a Human male in his early twenties and wearing the robes of a Jedi. In fact Anakin recognised the man's haircut as that of a Padawan Learner's braid. It didn't take long for the Jedi Knight to realise this was his old master back when he was still training under Qui-Gon Jinn. Suddenly his thoughts were broken when he heard Elsa called out to Anna.
"Wait. Slow down." He looked and saw Anna was bouncing on top of the snow drifts but her running was exceeding Elsa's ability to create them. Suddenly she slipped and fell just as Anna oblivious to the danger was about to jump. Elsa lying on her back tried to create another drift but the shot was too high and accidentally struck her sister.
"Anna!" Elsa cried running towards her unconscious sister. Anakin forgetting this was a vision ran up to them. Obi-Wan ran up to them as well. As soon as Elsa saw Obi-Wan she immediately cried out for him, her parents and Qui-Gon. Elsa was quietly telling Anna she has her while at the same time Obi-Wan was trying to use the Force to heal her. There was a banging at the door before three figures pushed through. A man with strawberry blonde hair and moustache. Wearing a black formal jacket with a lot of different medals on, blue trousers. The woman who appeared to be his wife wearing her brown hair up in a braid and a purple dress. The third figure whom Anakin immediately recognised as Qui-Gon rushed over.
"Elsa what have you done. This is getting out of hand." The king said.
"It was an accident I didn't mean to." Elsa replied still trying to contain herself.
"Master, your majesties, this is truly an accident just some fun that has gotten out of hand." Obi-Wan said trying to calm down the worried parents. The Queen went to pick up Anna and felt her head.
"She's ice cold." She gasped.
"I know what we have to do." The King replied with a determined look on his face. At this point the vision started to fade. Anakin began to re-establish his connection to the visions and after a bit of struggling he regained it. Though not the one he expected. In this vision, it appears that the sun is now up and the setting is in an office. The King and Queen were in there chatting before the door opened up as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan walked in Qui-Gon began speaking.
Your majesties, if I may by isolating your daughter it would prove to detrimental to her development. If she does not have proper guidance it could prove to be detrimental to not only the development of her powers but also her own personal development." The king looked up to the middle aged Jedi Master and his Padawan before speaking.
"I understand your concerns Master Jedi. But Elsa needs to be separated whilst her powers are in the current state. I assure you that this will be temporary and when she does gain control of them .Then we will allow for her and Anna to be together." Qui-Gon stroked his beard before replying.
"Yes your majesty but what if I can offer an alternate solution." The King looked at the pair cautiously before nodding.
"With your permission, I would like to take Elsa to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. There she would be trained and become a Jedi Knight .By taking this option she would be capable of not only controlling her powers but also to defender herself and others." Obi-Wan had a reluctant look on his face but decided to push his feelings to the back of his mind when he spoke in support.
"Elsa would be with people of similar abilities. With this exposure it could open up countless possibilities for her." The King looked down and was mulling over what they had said. On one hand, Elsa would not have to be afraid and be free to accept herself and have others accept her. On the other hand, she would be forced to give up her birthright and any possibility to ever see Anna again. With a sigh.
"Thank you for bringing this to my attention Master Jedi. But I will have to talk this over with my wife before I can give you an answer." Qui-Gon simply nodded.
"Certainly your majesty I trust you would make the right decision." Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan turned around and left. Once the two Jedi were gone the King immediately slumped in his chair and placed a hand on his forehead.
The vision cuts to sunset with the King, Queen, Elsa and Kai their advisor present as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan arrived at the Throne Room. The King looked at the Jedi and announced his decision.
"Well after much deliberation we have decide, that we will not send Elsa with you. She has already given up so much and we feel that despite the kind offer that it would not be right for her. This decision didn't come easily but at the risk of not seeing her family again and giving up her birthright we must decline." Qui-Gon was shocked at the decision and understood the reasoning though nonetheless made another appeal
"Your majesty, if I may…" The Queen then interrupted.
"No you will not. We also decided that you and your apprentice will leave the Kingdom and until Elsa's coronation that the presence of anyone from the Jedi Order or Galactic Republic is forbidden from Arendelle" Qui-Gon while he expected that the two monarchs would decline the offer but banished from the Kingdom for an undisclosed period seems to be taking it too far. Realising that there was no changing their minds Qui-Gon accepted their decision.
"I understand your majesty. But I must warn you that if left uncheck Elsa's powers will become harder to contain."
"We will handle it as we see fit and thank you for your help over the past few month. I apologise that you have to leave under these circumstances." The king replied. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan simply bowed and walked out of the Throne Room.
(End of force vision)
Anakin woke up breathing heavily. He was saddened to see that the Princess not only had to give up her childhood because of her powers. But also frustrated that her parents seemed to fear her rather than acknowledged her abilities. Suddenly he felt tow arms wrap around his neck as he turned around to see Padme with a concerned look on her face.
"Another vison?" She asked. Anakin let out a sigh.
"Yes but thankfully not one where you died in childbirth. This one was from the past." Padme then placed a hand on his face and turned his head to face her.
"Is it relating to the mission?" She asked. Anakin leaned into her hand and let out a breath.
"Obi-Wan told me of when he and Qui-Gon were on a mission about a few months before the Blockade on Naboo. He said that there were two princesses and one of them was strong in the force." Anakin took another breath. "Well the Force appears to have back up that story. I don't know what it holds for the mission. But what I saw is something that should never happen to any child." He then proceeded to tell Padme what Obi-Wan had told him as well as what he saw in his visions. She was torn by what happened whether it was the parent's choice to lock Elsa away denying her the opportunity to use her powers. The other option she had a more personal understanding of, given that Anakin still misses his mum. Taking all this in, Padme calmly placed a hand on her husband's shoulder.
"I can't speak for any of the decisions but what had happened in the past can never be changed. Maybe Elsa being isolated wasn't such a bad idea. Maybe she would have been better as a Jedi. But what's done is done. All we can hope for it hasn't affected their family." Anakin took her hand and stood up from the floor. The couple went over to the table for breakfast and talked about the various things relating to the baby. Just as they were finishing up, they heard a speeder arriving. Threepio and Artoo went to check who the visitor was. Though no surprises on who was visiting.
"Good Morning Master Kenobi, Mistress Padme and Master Anakin are just.."
"Getting ready Threepio."
Threepio's greeting was cut short with Anakin and Padme walking into the room. Obi-Wan walked into the room.
"Good morning Anakin, Padme. I trust you're ready for the mission." Immediately one of the maids appeared behind the couple and handed Anakin a case with all his equipment. Padme quickly walked up to her husband and quickly pecked him on the cheek.
"Good luck and be careful." She said with concern. Anakin simply flashed a grin.
"When have I not." Padme just rolled her eyes and watched as her husband and their friend took off towards the Military Complex where their ship is waiting.
After spending half an hour of dodging traffic and Anakin accidentally making a wrong turn the pair arrived at the Military Complex Staging Area. Thousands of Clones, Walkers, Tanks and Ships were all being moved and loaded. Either they were coming back from the Front or preparing to aid those who are already deployed to the thousands of different worlds. Waiting at the landing platform were Rex, Cody and a Consular Class Frigate. Anakin landed the speeder a short distance away and he and Obi-Wan collected their gear whilst a Clone was preparing to take it away for them.
"Keep her safe while we are gone." He addressed the Clone.
"Yes Sir." He replied and once the two Jedi had collected everything the speeder took off and flew around the corner. Turning around and walking towards the two Clone Officers, Anakin was thinking whether he should tell Obi-Wan about the visions. After some mental deliberation he decided to tell him once they were settled in for the trip. He was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts when Rex addressed Obi-Wan and himself.
"General Skywalker, General Kenobi everyone has settled in and awaiting departure." He briefed the two Jedi.
"Thank you Rex. Though we would have been here earlier if someone didn't make a wrong turn." Obi-Wan said with some evidence of annoyance in his voice.
"Well I thought it was a shortcut that would get us here faster." Anakin replied with some exasperation. Before the argument could continue they heard a cough and saw Rex and Cody were waiting for them.
"With all due respect sirs, we need to be moving if the deadline is to be met." Cody said. The four of them walked up the boarding ramp and as soon as they were in it closed up. The ship lifted off the ground and began to head up into the atmosphere and further into space.
Anakin was up on the bridge as the frigate made its way through Coruscant's upper atmosphere and once cleared of the incoming space traffic, space debris and Venator Class Destroyers that made up the blockade the crew began preparing for the jump to light speed.
"Have you keyed in the co-ordinates Hawk?" Anakin asked.
"Yes sir everything is set for the jump to hyperspace." The Clone Pilot replied.
"Good just remember that we need to drop out of light speed before entering the Wormhole." Anakin reminded him. Hawk simply nodded in acknowledgement and pulled a lever. Immediately the scenery began streaking in front of them signalling the jump to hyperspace. Once certain that Hawk and the other pilots were fine Anakin walked off the bridge. As he was walking down the hallway, Anakin was suddenly hit by another vision. It was more jumbled this time and could barely make out the images. All he saw was that there were two women one blonde, one strawberry blonde arguing, someone talking to a reindeer and a talking snowman. The sudden flashes caused Anakin to double over in the hallway and gripped his head as he tried to support himself on a nearby wall. When he finally regained his senses he looked and saw Obi-Wan and the majority of the Clones all crowding around him with concern.
"Sir are you feeling all right?" Asked a concerned Kix. Anakin grabbed the wall and pushed himself up the wall for support before responding.
"I'm fine Kix it's just a slight headache." Kix and the others didn't seem to buy it but decided to keep quiet. Obi-Wan walked up to Anakin and put an arm around him for support. That however didn't stop Anakin from protesting.
"I'm fine Obi-Wan. Really it's just a headache." Obi-Wan just rolled his eyes and calmly responded.
"Anakin that didn't look like a headache. I know you think you're doing the right thing by not worrying us but the truth is it only makes it worse." Anakin just taken a deep breath before replying.
"It was another vision." Once he mentioned that, Obi-Wan was suddenly on the alert. He immediately looked at the Clones.
"Leave us." He ordered.
"Yes sir." They responded and walked away from the pair.
"Anakin what have you been seeing in your visions?" Obi-Wan asked. Whilst he eventually gotten used to Anakin's aggressive and at times secretive behaviour it still was concerning that his former Padawan would try to cover his emotions up at critical times. Mainly among other things is because he cannot hide them to well and has little idea how to handle the pressure.
"The images are scrambled but all I see are two women one in blue one in purple and green in the snow. A fierce storm, a weird animal with hooves and horns and a talking snowman. The visons don't tend to stick around too long and come in intense flashes." Anakin replied still trying to recompose himself mentally. Obi-Wan was stroking his beard as he processed the information. Ever since Palpatine was killed everything was becoming clearer again and the ability to sense events through the force had returned to normal. With the visions Anakin was having, it was hard to make any connections to any events that could happen.
"Hmm the women you described could possibly be the two princesses, The animal you saw is called a Reindeer but I don't know about the snowman. Whether this is just a hypothetical scenario or a warning through the Force I don't know." Anakin rubbed his temples before moving off from the wall.
"If it is a warning then shouldn't we be preparing ourselves for it?" He asked.
"Well we cannot be sure whether it comes true or not but you are right we need to be ready for it." Anakin then spoke up.
"One more thing, There was one clear vision but it wasn't one of the future." Obi-Wan was intrigued.
"Oh." He replied. Anakin then proceeded to tell Obi-Wan what he saw. Judging by the calm look on his face the Jedi Master wasn't surprised.
"Hmm an interesting development but one that could play apart later. For now you should get some rest." At the end of that the two Jedi walked towards the sleeping quarters.
The trip through hyperspace took an incredibly long time but after a while Hawk called the two Jedi to the bridge. When they arrived the ship exited hyperspace and through the viewports a purple spiralling mass was in front of them. The wormhole that would take the ship through to Arendelle.
"So beyond this portal lies Arendelle." Anakin gasped as he stands on the bridge looking at the swirling mass in front of them.
"Indeed my friend. With any luck this should be the only difficult part of the journey." Replied Obi-Wan. He then turned to Hawk and the rest of the bridge crew.
"Alright take us through. Have all power diverted to the shields and work with the gravity pull." Obi-Wan ordered. The ship suddenly shuddered as it entered the wormhole's gravity well. Alarms and klaxons are buzzing everywhere.
"The gravitational pull is starting to affect the integrity of the hull!" shouted a Clone Officer.
"The shields are taking a beating. I don't know how long they will remain up." Said another. Obi-Wan and Anakin were observing the scene just as the ship entered the tunnel and began to accelerate through the portal. In the mess, Cody and Rex are ordering everyone to activate the magnetic grips on the soles of their boots and to grab onto anything that was bolted to the floors and walls.
"I think I'm going to be sick!" Shouted Waxer.
"Hey I think this is kind of fun!" laughed Hardcase.
"I hope the ship stays in one piece. I don't want to be stuck in a void." Said Wooley.
"Where's your sense of adventure this is fun." Chuckled Boil.
Back on the bridge it everyone was hanging on to anything they could grab. Anakin glanced out the viewport and noticed a white hole nearby.
"I think that's the exit." Shouted Anakin.
"Good work Anakin. Hawk take us through." The Clone Pilot pushed the control column and the ship strained forward and through the white gap.
A purple portal opened in space and the Consular Class Frigate flew out at full speed. Though shaken from ride Anakin stood up.
"Everyone alright"? He asked. A collective groan was heard throughout the bridge.
"That trip is never fun. Anakin remind me too look up a new route when we get back to Coruscant." Anakin chuckled.
"Your age starting to catch up to you."
"Very funny Anakin." He snarked.
"What's the status on the ship?" Obi-Wan asked
"Other than the shields needing a recharge everything is still working, sir." Obi-Wan took the information in but was pulled out of his thoughts when Anakin spoke up.
"Hey Obi-Wan what's that blue Planet in front of us?"
"Ah were here." Obi-Wan responded. He then walked over to the nav computer console and began imputing co-ordinates.
"The coordinates I have put into the computer will allow us to land at an old landing sight just outside the kingdom. A bit of a walk but I don't think we need to scare the townsfolk." Obi-Wan stated. Anakin just rolled his eyes.
"Let's just hope that no one knows where it is." Obi-Wan just ignored the comment and the ship began moving towards Earth. Where the mission will finally begin.
A long chapter I know but I hope it's worth it. So follow, favourite and review. I know when I said Anna will appear in this chapter but with so much happening in this one there is barley any room and it has taken a lot out of me. Before I go I will be away for most of next week visiting relatives in Sydney. So don't expect too much activity.
Anyway bye.
