She-Ra: Redemption

Future

"Catra did you eat my pudding again?" Adora says bursting into the room to see a sleeping Catra.

Catra eyes peek open before closing and going back to sleep. Adora walks up to bed and flips the bed over.

"Kya!" Catra says flipping before landing on her feet.

"This third time you've done this!" Adora says

"How do you even know its was yours huh?" Catra says unrolling herself from the blankets

"It had my name on it!" Adora says showing Catra the written name she-ra.

"No that says She-ra. I would never touch Adora's pudding cup but she-ra is fair game." Catra snickers as she gets up.

Adora's face reddens

"Adora you okay?" Catra says stretching

"Catra...clothes." Adora says

Catra looks down to see she her clothes or lack of them.

"What's wrong Adora? Were married now can really still be shy about all this." Catra says walking up to her and giving her a peck on the lips.

"We have a busy schedule! No time for fooling around." Adora says adamantly turning around

"Ugh fine your no fun." Catra says turning around and getting dressed.

"So what's-" Catra says turning around to see  the room change to a dust covered room. The mirror is broken, the blankets and drapes are tore and shredded. Catra feels her head begin to hurt like someone is drilling a hole in it.

"Catra your back! Quick we don't have a lot of time. It's not real whatever your experiencing is not real." Athena says panicking while appearing next to Catra.

"I stopped coming in here after a while. It was to painful. Athena I remember me and Adora being married but that never happened. We never...got the chance." Catra says picking up a photo of her and Adora.

"From what I've gleaned whatever it is that is doing this to you. It knows that you can tell when your in a memory so it's making new memories for you. It's trying to make you believe this place is real. But your mind is different now so its having trouble delving deeper. You have to fight it and quickly." Athena says glitching

"Why? What's happening outside." Catra says

"Your body is moving on it's own and your bleeding out from your arm." Athena says before disappearing.

"Helloooo Etheria to Catra? Anyone in there?" Glimmer says waving her hand in front of Catra

"Ah what do you want sparkles." Catra says shaking her head.

"Sparkles that old nickname really? Come on the others are waiting for us." Glimmer says leading Catra into another room.

Catra looks around to see Perfuma, Frosta, Spinerella, Netossa, Mermista, Entrapta, Scopria, bow, King Micah, Angella, Hordak, and Adora.

"Now that everyone is here let's begin. Entrapta what do you got?" Adora says

"Well a few weeks back I made a early detection system that I launched into space around our moons and they seem to going off. I checked and well there a alien spacecraft of some kind heading towards us!" Entrapta says showing a hologram of the ship

"You all know what this means right?" Adora says

"We have to take apart the ship and learn everything about it!" Entrapta says jumping up before Hordak pulls her back down.

"No we need to-" Adora says before Catra interrupts

"That's a Argoian ship! Wait today's the day they invade! Quick muster up all available forces we have to prepare for battle!" Catra shouts but no one moves.

"Catra calm down. Battle? We can just talk to them. They probably need help dealing with horde remnants." Adora says

"No your not listening to me. They don't care about that. They are after the heart!" Catra says before feeling an intense headache before a flash blind her.

Catra blinks to find herself facing Ariel the Argian Queen. But not in battle and instead a diplomatic table with the others.

"Like i said the heart is destroyed. There doesn't need to be a war. If you need aid we can help you." Adora says extending a hand in she-ra form.

"As if I'd believe you." Ariel says

"Then I can show you." Adora says

"No that's fine. I can tell your not lying. I just wanted to see what you'd do. I believe we can work together." Ariel says taking her hand.

"No. No. This isn't how it happened! Ariel she doesn't care about us. She attacked us unprovoked!" Catra says clutching her head.

She looks up to see her figh with Ariel then it changes to Ariel in her cage screaming. Then flashes back to her and Adora.

"Adora this isn't how it happened! I killed all of them. All those people are dead because of me! There was no peace something is wrong we have to figure a way to change it back to normal." Catra says clutching her head.

"Why?" Adora says

"What?" Catra says caught off guard.

"Why change it? Your version hurts you so much so why go back to that? When in this version there was no war, no genocide, and your friends are safe." Adora says

"Because that would be a lie!" Catra says

" and what's wrong with that? You said it yourself didn't you. That your tired and just want to rest." Adora says before turning into Catra.

"What are you?" Catra says stepping back.

"Come on. You still haven't figured it out? Whatever this place is, its amplifying your mental ability. You created this place! Your the one who wants to rest so why not let it happen? Your friends can get along just fine without you. So why not just sleep here and you can dream forever." The Fake Catra says

"Because I don't get to rest! That's for people who deserve it." Catra says clutching her hand into a fist.

"Make. Up. Your. Mind. We've gone over this so many times now! You created me! The one who wants to rest and your the one who wants to fight and suffer. How many iterations must we go through until you decide!" The fake Catra yells as duplicates of  them scattered around them. Each arguing about the same thing.

"please stop this." Catra says

"Then chose! You can't have both. You have go chose. Hate or love. War or peace." The fake Catra shouts as she claws The real Catra.

"I...choose..." but before Catra can say another word the fake Catra disappears and is replaced with The figure of Yurug.

Catra blinks to see Adora standing at the balcony. Catra's eyes widen and tears start to fall from her face.

Catra feels her hand reach out but then feels something rush past her. She looks down to see the back of a child with blonde hair and a tail run past to grab Adora's hand.

"Mom!" The child says gripping Adora's hand.

The two turn to face, the sun blinds Catra just enough to not be able to see either of there faces clearly.

"Catra?" Adora says extending out her hand.

Catra feels someone behind her. She turns to see Yurug and the horde behind her.

"I'm sorry Adora but after everything I've done. I don't get a happy ending." Catra says softly

"Mom?" The child says looking at Catra

"I'm sorry little one. Not for leaving but I'm sorry that you never had a chance to be real." Catra says turns to find Yurug standing behind her. She grits her teeth and extends her claws.

As she strikes Yurug cracks appear around her then shattered.
