G'day Casters! Yes! I am doing another chapter. Sorry for the delay throughout all my stories, but I have been busy with being sick, writer's block, laziness, and getting ready to go on a trip. Still actually got all of that, but hopefully the writer's block is getting better. I still need to start on Sister Holidays Episode V. Anyway, this chapter will be going between realities. More specifically, the Virtcast is going to be getting caught up in the mess that is 'The War of the 2120s' in Dragoncast Productions. I try to minimize the amount of interaction between the realities in the main stories, but being shorts, I can do it here. So, let's see how they fare.
This story has been gone over and fixed, for continuity issues later on, and just fixing silly little mistakes. (Plus added Paragraphs)
Enjoy!
Story II: The Network of 2123
The Casters Network was corrupted. By the year 2120, it had become the most powerful force in the history of its reality. But, there were some who wanted more. A rebel group, led by former Casters Network leader Night Fury Chris, called The Minecast, were out to take back the once great Network from the evil clutches of its new leader. Unknown to them, its new leader was a descendant of one of the original members, and his name was Joshua, descendant of Josiah. But, the Network was powerful, and The Minecast was forced to call for help between the realities.
Chapter 1: Network Destroyers
Elsa Arendelle's POV:
0 BBY; 2036 Earth time
I groaned as I was awoken by my little sister, Anna, coming in the room. "Good morning Elsa. You feeling better yet?" she asked.
Not too long ago, I had been on board the Night Fury when it was shot down by a TIE Fighter, and it had really screwed me over. But now I was healing, thanks to Anna and her wife, Kairi.
"Yeah, I think I'm good to go back," I said. "Your injuries in the Dream Realm are still healing, but they should be good in a few weeks," she said. "Okay, thanks," I got out of bed and followed Anna to the kitchen where Kairi had made breakfast.
"You two really spoil me, you know that, right?" I laughed. "Hey, we're not letting my sister push herself after that crash," said Anna. "I'm fine now Anna," I said. "She's right, Elsa has healed up a lot over the last few months. It's nearly time we went back," said Kairi. "Alright," we had breakfast.
!=-{+}-=!
Later, I was doing some food shopping when I came across Chris.
"Hey Els, we might need to get back to the Sleep soon. I got a message from the DCP reality, The Minecast needs help against the corrupt Casters Network," he said. "Okay, we'll get around to it soon. Call up Sith Vestara, we'll need her help," I said. "Dark Ves was the one who notified me," he said. "I wonder why they didn't say anything in Multirealm… Anyway, I'll tell the others,"
Dark Vestara Khai's POV:
A few days after I had received the message from the Network, and forwarded it to Chris, everyone was ready.
"Get the portal going," said Chris. "Wait, what about the Night Fury?" asked Kiarna. "It's in the hangar, and almost repaired. We've got a surprisingly good crew on the repair team," I said.
We were on the Night Fury Guardian, going to the DCP reality. But we weren't alone. We had the Soul Of Arendelle, the Qeios Bringer, and a few other ships from each fleet, including Ahsoka's flagship, an Imperial II-class called the Resolute II, which was where she and Clarissa were right now. Elsa, Anna, and Kairi were on the Soul Of Arendelle, while Rivatha was on the Qeios Bringer.
The portal opened up in front of us, and we all entered hyperspace to get through.
Dragoncast Productions
2123 Galactic Standard Time
We came out the other side over a planet that looked like some kind of Earth-sized gas planet.
"Can we identify the planet? Or will we have to land to sync up with the maps of this galaxy?" asked Rebecca. "Downloading the maps now, apparently Google Maps has mapped out this galaxy. Okay, got them. The planet in front of us is Earth apparently," said Sarah. "That is not Earth," said Chris.
"I just did a scan; the entire planet is covered in some sort of infection. We cannot land, the ships won't make it past the atmosphere," she said. "Alright, let's contact Night Fury Chris," I said.
Sarah messed around with her computer, until a hologram of Night Fury Chris appeared.
"Night Fury Chris, this is Jedi Master Christopher Caster, co-leader of the Virtcast. We received your distress call, and have come to help," said Chris. "Thank the Author. Alright, we're sending you our coordinates now," we received coordinates that Sarah confirmed would take us to the planet, Disney.
"Disney? Seriously? Wow," we all laughed at that.
!=-{+}-=!
Our mixture of fleets exited hyperspace over the Earth-like planet that was called Disney.
We were met by a bunch of unidentified cruisers.
"Incoming ships, please identify your selves," came a voice. "This is Elsa Arendelle, leader of the Virtcast, and captain of the Soul Of Arendelle. We are here to help The Minecast," came Elsa's voice. "Okay, we will escort you to Arendelle," a few cruisers broke off and surrounded us, escorting us down to the planet.
Night Fury Chris's POV:
I was making my way through Arendelle towards one of the outposts guarding the city, when I heard some gasps and cries of surprise, fright, and confusion.
I looked up and saw a rather large fleet of what looked like old Star Destroyers from before Earth was even discovered by the Star Wars guys. There was also a black ship that was not any kind of ship we knew of.
They were being escorted by Bedrock Battle Cruisers, which were about two times bigger than the Star Destroyers. The logo on the side of the black ship was the Berk symbol, which I knew also belonged to a certain group outside of our reality.
And I knew what this ship was, because I had seen it in Multirealm.
This was a custom attack frigate, based on a Munificent-class frigate. More specifically, this was the Night Fury Guardian, belonging to the Virtcast.
I watched as they hovered over the castle, and I saw some shuttles coming out of what I assumed were the flagships, along with the Night Fury.
I went back to the castle to meet them.
"Welcome to Arendelle," I said as they exited the shuttles.
I saw Clarissa and Ahsoka coming out of a Republic shuttle. Elsa, Anna, and Kairi came out of an Imperial shuttle that was painted in an ice blue paint scheme that I assumed was for Arendelle. Rivatha came out of an older Imperial shuttle that was done in a paint scheme I assumed was for Qeios. And the rest of the Virtcast; Chris, Vestara, Kiarna, Rebecca, Sarah, Jaina, Heather, and Astrid, came out of the Night Fury.
"Well, it's certainly different from our Arendelle. Anyway, how can we help?" asked Elsa. "You can help by helping us defeat the Casters Network," I said. "Sounds good to me, let's kick some arse," said Jaina.
"Calm down guys, the Network is more powerful than you think," said Sarah from the Mortality Doctrine series, coming up behind them. "Chris is going on a mission to the Network's base in Terabithia to try to find a weakness in their firewalls. Once we hack into their systems, we can start thinking about attacking the main base," she said. "You, however, will be investigating what we suspect might be a secret base on Earth. However, you won't be able to take your ships through the thick spores covering the atmosphere. You'll have to take the caves," said MN Sarah, also coming out of the castle.
"Can I just ask why Earth is covered in spores?" asked Elsa. "A clicker escaped The Last Of Us and infected the Earth back in 2039, since then the planet has been off limits. All caves have been blocked up too, to prevent it happening again," I said. "So how do we get through the caves if they're blocked up?" asked Vestara. "Use the Force, make a tunnel. But block it back up behind you," I said.
"Okay, so, where is the base?" "We suspect it's in the city of New York, to get there easily I will be sending my son and daughter, Ice Fury Savara and Light Fury Oscar, to help you. They know the way there, they are Dragonborn, and they are experienced with surviving in the infection," I said. "Okay. Well, let's get this over and done with," said Clarissa.
Christopher Caster's POV:
We were standing outside a cave that was very obviously blocked.
"Move, we can handle this," said Savara.
Savara and Oscar had joined us after Night Fury Chris had left for Terabithia, which was on the other side of this planet.
They turned into Furies. Savara froze a part of the blockage with ice blasts while Oscar blasted it with bright white plasma blasts.
Soon, there was a tunnel big enough for us all to get through.
We went through, and I helped the other Jedi to block it up again.
"Alright, be alert and don't let the infected bite you," said Savara. I ignited my purple sabre, while the others ignited their own lightsabres and lightaxes, Elsa made some ice swords, Kairi got her keyblade, and Rivatha ignited her darksabre.
"Hop on," said Oscar. We all got on the two Furies and flew over the barely recognisable town of Glasshouse Mountains.
"It's completely destroyed," said Elsa. "Yeah, so are those three ships from Minecast Fleet," said Savara. We saw two warships that looked like way smaller and older models of the battle cruisers that escorted us, as well as a cargo ship.
We flew over tons of infected and flew through another cave that wasn't blocked. It took us right outside the city of New York.
We landed. "Can't fly through here, if there is a secret base they will pick us up with ease. At least it's easier to avoid scanners when we're on foot," said Oscar.
We made our way through the destroyed city of New York, until we came across Central Park.
"Shh, listen," I whispered. "I hear it too, droids," whispered Elsa. "Droids? As in, battle droids?" asked Ahsoka.
"Shit, hide," we hid as a couple of guard droids walked past.
"If they're battle droids, they are a new design. They're not like ours at all," whispered Vestara. "Maybe we can call in our own battle droids," suggested Heather. "How would they get through the atmosphere?" asked Astrid. "Chris, do you have any of the time travel devices?" asked Jaina. I searched my pockets and found one. "Good idea. Astrid, you go get the battle droids. We'll see what we can do to begin with," I whispered, tossing the device to Astrid.
She used it on herself and vanished.
But, she instantly came back with the entire droid army.
After we had joined the rebels, we had taken over Geonosis and started up the abandoned droid factories for the Rebel Alliance.
"Well that was quick," I said. "Actually it took a few hours, but you did give me a time travel device," said Astrid. "True. Alright, let's go."
I used the force to destroy the two guard droids, before we led our droid army into the park.
There were more droids around the park, and they started firing on us, but were quickly destroyed.
I took a good look at our forces and saw we had all kinds of droids. B1 Battle Droids, B2 Super Battle Droids, Droidekas, MkII Droidekas, Commando Droids, Spider Droids, MagnaGuards, and a bunch more.
We heard an alarm, quite different to the alarms we usually hear in the Sleep, and saw the dried-up lake splitting open to reveal another army of the new battle droids.
They started shooting us, their guns firing out black lasers. Our droids fought back with the red plasma, as well as us using our weapons to cut our way through. The two Dragonborns transformed and started attacking from the air. I also noticed a protective shield that was disintegrating any infected that came near the park.
I'm glad we dodged that.
And I was glad it was there, a lot of infected were being alerted by the noise.
Ice Fury Savara's POV:
I flew around and blasted the enemy droids with my ice.
But we soon found out that the ground units weren't the only thing we had to worry about.
A swarm of Network Spec Dragon Attack Droids (DADs) came out and started attacking us.
I thought we were done for, when a barrage of red came from behind, blending with the barrage of black. I looked behind and saw a swarm of Vulture Droids, Vulture Bombers, and Rogue-class Starfighters flown by IG-100 MagnaGuards.
I smirked and continued the attack.
I saw Oscar narrowly avoid some shots. I took out the DAD that was shooting him.
I flew down and Chris jumped up on my back as I swooped them.
"Can't you use those time travel things to bring the ships here?" I asked. "Not powerful enough. An army of droids is one thing, but ships, even shuttles, aren't able to get transported with the device. And to get the portals for the ships, we'd need to be able to get here in the first place. Those portals can't go through the spores," he said. "Damnit. Alright, let's just hope your Separatist Battle Droids are enough," "Oh they will be," he jumped down as I flew past a DAD and landed on it.
My comm was beeping. I answered it.
"I found an entrance to the base, let's go in," said Elsa. "Alright, I'm coming to your position now," I said.
I diverted my course and went to where Elsa was.
I was about to land when I felt a sharp pain in my wing. I looked at it and saw it had a smoking hole in it,
I had been shot down.
I was now spiralling towards the ground.
I crashed into the ground, and almost lost consciousness.
"Savara!" came the faint voice of my little brother.
"Savara," said another voice, this one clear and feminine.
I looked up to see a sight I thought I would never see outside of Multirealm. Lyla was standing in front of me as a ghost. She looked the way she did when she had been 30.
"Lyla?" I groaned. "Savara, you can do this. You're tough, a shot from a droid won't defeat you. I know it," she said.
I tried to get up, but couldn't. I went to human form, and felt both my legs and one of my arms were broken.
"I-…. I can't," I said. "Don't talk like that Sav, you can. Trust me," she said. I shook my head. "No, I can't. I can't continue like this," I said. She sighed.
Before I could react, she walked over to me and merged her presence with mine. I could feel her presence in my own body. For the first time ever, I felt the unfamiliar sensation of being filled by the Force. I felt my bones being healed. It was slow and painful though.
Until Felix appeared and did the same. Now I had not only two Jedi healing me from inside, but two siblings.
Soon, I was back on my feet. I could still feel the Force rushing through me.
"Savara, are you okay?" asked Anna. I looked up. "I'm fine. Let's go get whoever is controlling this place," I said.
We went to the entrance where the others were waiting with a small group of Virtcast Commando Droids and MagnaGuards. I sensed surprise in the Force coming from the Jedi, they obviously sensed the power I was getting from being merged with both my siblings' Force presences.
We went in the base and found that it wasn't as much of a base as it was a droid factory.
"Welcome, Minecast. I've been expecting you," came a voice that sounded familiar. It echoed and sounded really creepy. "The Guy," I whispered. "Very good my dear little Savara. You're smarter than you look," he said. "Oi, don't you dare talk to my sister like that," said Oscar. "Oh I'm sorry Oscar, I didn't mean to insult you or your sister," he said sarcastically. "Fuck you," I said.
"It really is a pity that you'll be dead in a few minutes. But I want you to see how much more elite my brand new A1 Destroyer Droids and A2 Super Destroyer Droids are compared to your Trade Federation Battle Droids," he said. "You're mistaken mate. Trade Federation Battle Droids would already be destroyed. Our droids are much more elite. You do not want to mess with Republican Battle Droids," said Chris.
I looked at them, confused.
"We upgraded the droids and, in honour of the Old Republic, named them Republican Battle Droids. It was intended to be an ironic way to defeat the Empire, since they used to be the Republic and used to fight Battle Droids. We use the same visual design as Trade Federation Battle Droids, but their armour, and programming are much better. And, as you may have noticed, they are painted for each army. The ice blue of Arendelle, the grey of Qeios, the jet black of the Virtcast, and the old Republic's grey, red and yellow for Ahsoka's Republic Remnant," explained Kairi. "Of course, for Ahsoka's forces, the Commando Droids all wear the old Mk1 Clone armour, which gives them a little bit more protection,"
"Even with your upgrades my droids will wipe them out," said The Guy. "We will see about that," said Elsa.
"Guy, you won't defeat this army. I will never allow it," said another voice. We looked around to see The Author with a bunch of Clones from the 501st legion, including Captain Rex. "Oh, but you won't be able to stop it, Author," said The Guy.
"Sir, he's sending droids after us," said Rex. "Well then we'll need to work fast. Elsa, I give command of the 501st legion to you," said The Author.
"I thought you said you didn't interact with our realities?" asked Ahsoka. "I interact with DCP. And this time I brought a little toy," he said.
He pulled out what looked like a sword, but he held it like a gun. Some droids came around a corner and he started blasting them.
"A gun sword? Really?" asked Elsa, also blasting droids. "Best thing ever," he said, covering the blade in light as a droid got too close. It cut the droid like a lightsabre.
I used my new Force powers and sent most of the droids into the lightsabres surrounding me.
The Author threw me something. I caught it and saw it was a lightsabre. But not just any lightsabre, this was Lyla's sabre.
"We'll help you, let's do this,"
I charged and sliced a group of droids in half.
Ahsoka Tano's POV:
I deflected every blaster shot from the droids and helped our own droids, the Clones, and the rest of the Virtcast and our friends to defeat the army that The Guy had sent to us.
I ducked under what I guessed as an A2 Super Destroyer Droid, before slicing it in half. Another A1 rolled away from my lightsabre, but I caught it with my second sabre. A droid was about to attack me but was shot by The Author.
The Guy appeared.
"You guys go shut down the factory, I'll deal with The Guy," said The Author. We nodded and took what few droids we still had left to find the command room. The Clones had mostly survived, and were also following us.
!=-{+}-=!
We finally found the command room and took out the droids guarding it.
"How about we grab the designs first, that'll give the Empire a bit of a surprise when we add these droids to our ranks. Of course, we'll be upgrading their programming a bit," said Elsa. "Sounds good, but make it quick," said Clarissa.
"Master, more droids incoming," I said.
Clarissa and I defended the doorway while the data from the computers was put on a little data chip.
"Alright, done. Let's blow this place to oblivion," said Sarah. We placed bombs all over the room, and hooked them up to Chris's arm control panel.
We then proceeded to run out of the base.
Chris commanded our droids to retreat to a safe distance from the base, while Clarissa, the Clones and I split off to find The Author.
He was still fighting The Guy, his gun in its lightsabre mode.
"Time to go!" yelled Clarissa.
There was an explosion. Chris had detonated the bombs, and now the whole place was falling apart.
"You get out of here, I'll get out my own way," he said. We didn't ask questions and ran for the exit.
A couple of Clones got caught under some rubble.
We made it out just as the exit got covered up, and ran to the roads. A massive explosion engulfed the park and the Network's droids.
It also sent us flying.
I closed my eyes and tried to use the Force to slow my fall, but I never hit the ground.
I opened my eyes and saw that Savara was using the Force to keep all of us from crashing into the ground.
She let us down gently.
"I really did not know you could use the Force," said Oscar. "It's not her, it's us," said a voice.
Two ghosts came out of Savara's body.
"Lyla? Felix? How the hell did you do that?" asked Oscar. "It's a little thing we can do with the Force. We combined with Savara's Force presence and gave her the Force temporarily," said who I guessed was Lyla.
"Well, I think we should get back and report our success. Also, well, the explosion shut down the protection field so infected are closing in fast," said Elsa. "Agreed. Let's go," said Chris.
Lyla and Felix went back into Savara, and we just used the time travel device to transport us and our droid army back.
We appeared in the Arendelle courtyard. I guessed the droids were on the ships.
"How did your mission go?" asked Ellie. "Good, we found and destroyed a droid factory run by The Guy. We also gained some new droid designs to help against the Empire in our reality," said Elsa. "Well that's good. Chris should be getting back soon, for now, you should get some rest," said Jaina Solo. "Much needed rest. That was not easy," said Anna.
And so, we did just that.
Hope you enjoyed! Looks like this one is going to be a multi-chapter story. Anyway, hopefully I will start up Episode V soon, maybe before I leave. I have all this on a USB stick so I might be able to take it with me into the desert and do some updates, but I don't know. Also, this chapter was very delayed because we had a power outage that lasted from mid-day to around 4-4:30PM. And the laptop I am using was almost out of battery. Anyway, see ya!
