G'day Casters! I'm back with another short! Though this one might be longer… We'll be taking a look at before Elsa, Anna, Jaina, Heather, Astrid, Kairi, and Vestara, and potentially others too, awoke in the Sleep in Sister Holidays Episode I: The Sleeping Menace! As it was explained in Story 5: An Interstellar Shooter, they had all been there before they had gained consciousness. And, after reading SH1 again, I noticed that it seemed like Chris in the Sleep may have actually come across Vestara in the past (Before he gained control in the Sleep). So, we'll also have a look at that, but maybe next chapter or story! Or I'll just split each story into a different chapter.
Alright so I've decided to upload the ones I've already written despite not having finished all of these. So for now, here's the first couple Origin stories!
Enjoy!
Story VI: Origins
The Virtcast were in the Sleep long before they ever gained control. Everyone enters at the age of seven, but very few actually gain the strength to control themselves in the second life. Why did the Virtcast start in the bush outside Inlia, on their way to Arendelle?
Chapter I: Arendelle Sisters
Elsa and Anna Arendelle were Representatives for Arendelle in the start of the Clone Wars, but why did they start in the bush near Inlia with the Vikings and Vestara? And what happened to Arendelle's sister kingdom?
22 BBY; 2014 Earth Time
Third Person:
19-year-old Elsa Arendelle, and 17-year-old Anna Arendelle, were flying back to their home planet of Earth.
They were citizens of the country of Arendelle. When they were younger, their family grew close to the King and Queen of Arendelle, as they were descendants of the original discoverers and people who named the country. In-fact, Elsa and Anna had become so close that the King and Queen named their daughters Princess Elsa and Princess Anna of Arendelle.
Elsa and Anna had just been to Coruscant to represent Arendelle in the vote for the Military Creation Act, though it had been a while since the vote was done and the Clone Wars had started.
The sisters had been requested to stay on Coruscant for their own safety.
Earth, unlike most planets, was not represented as one whole planet. It had many different nations, all of which were separate from each other. The Clone Wars had basically started a civil war on the planet, as half the planet joined the C.I.S., while the other half remained with the Republic. Arendelle had sided with the Republic, but had been against the creation of a Clone Army.
Unfortunately, the kingdom next to Arendelle had closed the vote and chosen to create the Clone Army. Queen Rivatha of Qeios had later come to Elsa, saying she hoped the vote had not destroyed a long-standing alliance between Arendelle and Qeios. Elsa had agreed, as it was her wish to not be enemies with Qeios either.
Especially after Qeios had built their own Empire as allies with the Republic.
The war had been hard on Earth in the opening months, but the sisters couldn't stay away from their home for long.
And so, they had decided to return.

The shuttle came out of hyperspace over the planet, only to find a blockade.
"Trade Federation. The kriffing bastards must have attacked us while we were on Coruscant," groaned Elsa.
"Look, Arndel ships," noted Anna, pointing to some attack cruisers.
"What?! Arndel is supposed to be Arendelle's sister kingdom! Why are they with the Separatists?!" exclaimed Elsa.
"I don't know, but I'm not sure if we'll make it past them," said Anna.
"We're about to find out," replied Elsa as their comms beeped.
Elsa answered the call.
"Please identify yourself," came a B1 Battle Droid's voice.
"I am Elsa Arendelle, representative of Earth's Kingdom of Arendelle. I request passage into the Kingdom," said Elsa.
"Uh, negative. You're under arrest," returned the droid.
"So much for that," sighed Anna.
"We're not cut out for battle," Elsa panicked.
"Wait, didn't Queen Rivatha give you a secret channel to contact her with back on Coruscant?" remembered Anna.
"I forgot about that! It might be able to bypass the Separatists' jammer," Elsa nodded.
She entered the code into her shuttle's comm and called Rivatha.
"Queen Rivatha here," came Rivatha's voice.
"Your majesty, it's Elsa," said Elsa.
"Oh, what's up Elsa?" Rivatha asked.
"We're above Earth, but we kinda have a problem with the blockade," she answered.
"Elsa, I thought you two were supposed to stay on Coruscant," Rivatha replied.
"I know! But we can't stay in the city! It's nothing like home," complained Anna.
"Okay okay, calm down girls. I'll send a Qeios Attack Cruiser up to cover you," Rivatha said.
"Thank you, your majesty," smiled Elsa.
"Now we wait and hope the Separatists don't do anything," said Anna.
"Indeed."
Elsa Arendelle's POV:
Eventually, I saw the Qeios Attack Cruiser come up behind the blockade. It started attacking them.
"Let's go," I said.
I put the shuttle into full speed and we went through the blockade with minimal challenge.
Unfortunately, an Arndel Starfighter was on our tail and followed us down to the planet.
"We can't shake him, and this thing doesn't have guns!" shouted Anna.
"Queen Rivatha, come in," I tried contacting Rivatha again.
"I saw you go past, is there a problem?" asked Rivatha.
"Yeah, we've got an Arndel fighter behind us. Why the kriff are Arndel even allied with the Seppies anyway?!" I replied.
"I'm not sure, they're your sister kingdom. Not ours. But I will come down and cover you, just hang in there," she said.
"Easier said than done," whined Anna as I sent us into a spiral to avoid getting shot.
But what I didn't notice was a grey shuttle come up from Earth, and it shot the fighter behind us with ease.
"Royal Arendelle shuttle, this is the Corusta, we have been sent by the King and Queen of Arendelle to cover your approach," came a male voice.
"Copy that, Corusta," I said.
"Wait, isn't the owner of that ship friends with Arndel's senator?" Anna inquired.
"Yes, Jedi Knight Christopher Caster was good friends with Saria before the Clone Wars. But since Saria has probably joined the Separatists, I doubt that's still a thing," I nodded.
Soon, Rivatha's Royal Q-675T Starfighter came down to cover us too.
We quickly landed in Arendelle, in the castle's hangar. Rivatha went back to Qeios and called the Attack Cruiser back down.
!=-{+}-=!
"It seems Count Dooku has assassinated Queen Belden and framed the Republic," said Queen Iduna.
Anna and I were with Jedi Knight Christopher Caster and Jedi Knight Joshua Puller in the throne room, with the King and Queen.
"So that's why they're with the C.I.S. is it?" Anna assumed. Queen Iduna nodded.
"A powerful Queen has been elected, but she is Dooku's pawn," said King Agnarr.
Anna looked at me, and saw the look on my face.
"Elsa, what're you thinking?" she asked.
"I'm thinking we need to first of all get rid of that blockade," I replied.
"Arendelle's fleet isn't big enough to do such a task," said Queen Iduna.
"No, but the Qeios Empire's fleet is. I suggest we call on them to aid in an attack on the blockade," I reminded.
"I agree. Qeios and Arendelle are known to have a very special relationship, I'm sure Queen Rivatha would agree to help," agreed one of the Jedi, Chris.
"Very well, bring the request to Qeios immediately," nodded King Agnarr.
Anna and I nodded and bowed, before turning to leave.
"May the Force be with you," said both the Jedi.
"May the Force be with you," I replied.
We both got back in the Royal Shuttle and flew to Qeios.
!=-{+}-=!
When we landed in Qeios, we went straight to Queen Rivatha.
"Your majesty, we come on official business. I would personally like to request that the Qeios Empire aids the Arendelle Royal Army to destroy the blockade set up by Arndel and the Trade Federation," I said.
Rivatha considered the request for a few seconds.
"Agreed. The Qeios Empire will lend Arendelle as much aid as we can to free Earth from this Separatist blockade. Thank you, Representative. Earth will be under Republic control soon," she nodded.
We bowed and thanked the Queen.
"As an addition, if you would like, we can make you two an attack shuttle in the place of your Royal Shuttle in-case you run into trouble with Arndel," she said.
"Not going to lie, that may be a good idea," agreed Anna.
Rivatha smiled. "Very well, I will have one custom built as the same model as your current shuttle, but much better."
I nodded. "Thank you, your majesty."
!=-{+}-=!
We were walking to the place we'd be staying while we waited for our shuttle to be completed, and I was busy trying to contact Arendelle.
"Elsa, good news I assume?" came Queen Iduna's voice.
I nodded. "Yes, Qeios have agreed to aid Arendelle. Just give the order and they will join you in battle."
"Thank you, Elsa," she replied. I bowed and ended the transmission.
"Well, we can only hope for the best now," said Anna. I nodded.
As we were walking through the underground city, I got the feeling we were being followed. I stopped and looked around, but saw nothing. It wasn't very busy since it was late, and we were in some of the quieter streets away from the main city.
"Elsa?" asked Anna.
"I thought I sensed someone following us," I said.
"What, now you're a Jedi?" joked Anna.
I laughed. "No, not like that."
Suddenly, a person jumped down in the shadows and came at us. I avoided a punch, and tried to hit the attacker. They avoided too and tripped Anna up. I saw them quickly grab Anna's necklace, which was rather expensive.
Tch, a damn thief.
I kicked the necklace out of her hand and used a little ice magic to stop it from shattering, but not enough that anyone would notice.
Anna tripped the person up and they fell into a light. I saw it was a girl with redish pinkish hair, wearing a pink outfit.
"Who are you, thief," I demanded. The girl smirked and quickly did a backflip onto her feet.
Out of nowhere, a weapon that looked like a key spawned in her hand. By reaction, I created a sword from ice magic. The girl hesitated.
In the end, she rushed towards me, and I blocked a hit, but she propelled herself on top of me and leapt onto a nearby building and fled.
"We'd better watch out, crime in Qeios is low, but it does happen," I said. Anna nodded.
We eventually made our way to the place we were staying with no more issues. But I did alert Rivatha to the thief.
!=-{+}-=!
Eventually, our ship was ready, and we left for Arendelle. The battle on the blockade had already started, though it was proving difficult for all of us.
"Elsa, this is the King of Arendelle," came a voice over the comms.
"Copy, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Communications with the fleet is being blocked by Arndel, and our spies say they are advancing on the ground towards Arendelle," he reported.
"If you need to send a message, we'll do it," said Anna.
"Please tell the Arendelle fleet to attack Arndel's kingdom. Burn it to the ground if they must, and tell the Jedi to make sure no one can ever return to Arndel," he said.
We both froze. We knew Arndel had a massive military, even bigger than Arendelle, but to go that far? Nevertheless, we agreed.
"I can't believe that order," groaned Anna.
"I know, but if they deem it necessary, then we have no say. We must alert the fleet and the Jedi," I sighed.
So, we changed course and flew up to the battle.
!=-{+}-=!
When we arrived at the battle scene, we saw many Arendelle ships had been destroyed.
"Arendelle fleet, the King and Queen has ordered that we attack the kingdom of Arndel directly. Jedi, your orders are…are to make sure no one can ever set foot there again…" I said.
There was a pause.
"We copy," came one of the Jedi.
The Arendelle fleet broke off from the attack, and headed for Arndel with the Jedi close behind.
We blew up some enemy fighters and went back towards Arendelle.
"They're really doing it…" I sighed.
But before we could say anything more, the ship rocked violently. "We're hit!" Anna yelled.
"We're going back to Qeios, it's closer," I said, guiding the flaming ship back down.
We entered the atmosphere and I had to rely on scanners to find my way, but they were heavily damaged.
"Brace for impact," I warned. A few seconds later, we hit the ground. The glass shattered, and the rear of the ship exploded.
We slid for a while, before coming to rest just before hitting the walls of Qeios.
"Few, that was too close," groaned Anna, seeing Qeios.
"Are you hurt?" I asked.
"A little bit," she said.
I heard people outside and felt the rubble being lifted up. Soon, a girl with brown hair and tribal markings on her face looked into the cockpit.
"Are you two okay?" she asked. I nodded.
"I'm okay. My sister I think is just a bit hurt, but otherwise alright," I said. Anna nodded.
"Here, we'll help you out," motioned another girl. Three more girls that looked completely different to the first jumped in and helped us get out of the ship.
"Who are you girls?" asked Anna.
"I'm Astrid, this is Heather and Jaina. And that's Vestara, she's new around here," said the blonde girl.
"I'm Elsa Arendelle, and this is my sister, Anna," I said.
"You're the Representatives of Arendelle, correct?" asked Jaina. I nodded.
"Alright, well we may have to walk back. Things aren't exactly going alright inside Qeios right now." said Heather.
I sighed. "Okay. Let's get moving then."
"We'll come with you to keep you safe," suggested Vestara. I noticed a lightsabre on her belt, and nodded.
"Thank you."
And so, we started our journey back to Arendelle.
Well then, multiple characters appeared and now you know why Elsa and the others were in the bush on their way to Arendelle in Episode I. And also the whole event with Arndel being destroyed that was mentioned in Episode VI, which I kinda accidentally made that whole part make sense in Episode IX…not that IX is released yet, or anywhere close to being finished for that matter. Though, if you really want to find that out, have a look at the Qeios (SH) page on the Caster's Network Wikia! Full history was written up on there recently!
Next up is Sabre Puller and Master Caster!
