She-Ra: Redemption

Bonds

Entrapta opens her eyes to see she's in her lab. She glances around to see unfinished projects, parts of weapons, notes, and tiny foods all scattered around. But what stands out the most is Catra looking at photos of Hordak and all the other Queens.

"Catra?" Entrapta calls out.

Catra gently puts down the photo and turns to Entrapta. Entrapta immediately puts her guard up as Catra's usually mix colored eyes are replaced with two red eyes.

"Not quite, we are placed in a familiar place to put you at ease. Fusing with you made us change, we feel so much more alive. Thank you." They say

"So it worked! But why am I here?" Entrapta asks

"Again not quite, your brain cannot sustain these millions of collected minds of our creators. Your body was dying so we used the last of our strength to save you. I'm sorry you didn't get the ending you wanted."  They say with sympathetic eyes.

"What? No! No! I can still save you!" Entrapta shouts as she frantically starts to rack her brain on how to save them.

"Its too late, we've already fused into your body. We are changing it! Improving it! We may end but we can still live within you. Please just grant us one wish." They say

"Anything!" Entrapta says

"Find our lost history that Orthax took and save it." They say walking up and taking her hand.

"What's going to happen to you?" Entrapta says with a sullen expression looking towards the ground

"Our conciousness will fade like flame in wind. With our failure my creator's will die as they should have all those years ago." They say

Entrapta bites her lip as she feels the helplessness creep into her. But then she feels them tug at her hand. She glances up to see the scenery change to a star filled room. She glances around to see herself floating in space surrounded by burning yellow, blue, white, red stars, comets falling past her as they burn brilliantly into fading ash.

"Whoa." Entrapta let's out a gasp of amazement and wonder.

"Congratulations is the phrase I believe my creators would use in times celebrating new life." They say as there form changes into glowing white spark.

"What do you mean?" Entrapta says confused

"You have new life within you Congratulations but do not worry, the child is safe the changes will not harm it. Maybe once you've recovered our history perhaps your child may learn of it." They says as they fade

"Melog! Please come out, I just want to talk." Catra says

Catra knocks on her and Adora's room in brightmoon.

I have nothing to say.

"You don't talk to anyone nor do you let anyone see you. I know I've been busy lately and haven't been as close you as I should have but at least tell me your okay."  Catra says placing her forehead against the door.

"..."

"From what I hear you haven't left this...room...since I disappeared." Catra says softly

You...didnt... di....dis...

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you-" Catra says but as she does the door bursts open and Melog pins Catra to the ground.

Melog grows in size as his once translucent blue turns red. Melog let's out a loud growl as shouts

"You didn't disappear! You died! I felt our connection break! I felt your last emotions flow into me! It wasn't fear but relief! You died and you felt relief!? You left me!" Melog snarls

Catra's eyes widen as Melogs words hit her like one of Adora's punches.

"I didn't know! I-" Catra says trying to to find  the words.

"You always go charging recklessly ahead and leave me behind! Ever since Adora died all I've felt from you was endless rage and sorrow! I could feel your yearning for death but I kept silent because I felt that you didn't want the others to know! I thought it would be fine since I could be someone you could lean on but you pushed me away!" Melog growls

"I didn't know! No I forgot that we shared that bond. I'm sorry I...you could have...I didn't mean to push you away. I just had-" Catra says

"I am not angry for you pushing me away! I am angry because you gave up! Every extreme emotion you've felt I've also felt! I pushed forward because I believed in you! But in the end you didn't even believe in yourself! Adora would have never given up! She would kept pushing forward with everyone but ever since she died you've been trying to shoulder evrything yourself! The stronger you get the stronger our bond becomes, even now that its reconnected I can see your memories! Your still keeping secrets from your allies! From me! Why can't you trust us!?" Melog shouts.

"..I....its hard. Trusting others...especially now that we've entered a new Era. Etheria has never experienced war on a galactic scale, I know what I am doing would be considered average or even tame when it comes to the history of war. But to the others who've never read primes historical documentations on the how war was waged in the galaxy, I would be considered a monster. All these acts of war I've done are small in comparison to other empires in the past. If they ever looked at me like how they saw prime...I would break and I don't think I'd be able to recover." Catra says  her breath uneasy and her voice strained.

"You don't know the future, if your so afraid then speak plainly with them! You took their choice away! Can't you see your heading down the very path you feared! Prime also never trusted anyone but himself. Tell me can you trust them to hear your words and make a decision themselves about you. To trust that they are not as shallow or fragile as you make them out to be?" Melog says his size and color reverting back to its original state.

"I...Y-" Catra opens her mouth to speak but is interrupted by a gaurd shouting to them.

"Your majesty! Queen Entrapta is awake." The gaurd says kneeling.
