Warriors

Chapter 9

"My dad and Peekablue are gone but that doesn't mean we can't do things. Juliet?" The Queen nodded at General Juliet expectantly. She got up, her heavy, pearly armour clanked in the process. She lightly tapped the table and instantly the violet hologram appeared. She tapped again and Horde symbols starting popping up. There were more than they'd expected. That couldn't be good.

"As you can see the Horde is advancing quickly. I've discussed it with her majesty and we believe the best course of action is to split up and protect different parts." Juliet continued in the same monotone voice. She was military but still, it couldn't hurt to be a little spontaneous from time to time. Double Trouble lounged lazily in their chair. They had insisted on velvet cushions. It made them feel smug when they watched everyone fidget on the stiff, marble chairs. That was the only entertaining thing about this seemingly eternal meeting. They didn't even care which part of Etheria they were being sent to, they didn't know the name of anything anyway. Double Trouble had never bothered to learn the names of places, they had stuck to the Crimson Waste and wasn't interested in places that weren't on their planet. Their blown up planet that was probably floating around some asteroid ring.

Double Trouble fiddled absent-mindedly with the satin, pearly glove on their hand. He'd been gone for only a day and they already missed him. Would it hurt to visit Mystacor...? He'd be pissed off of course because he thinks their skills are useful elsewhere but they didn't see how it could hurt. "Double Trouble!" Scorpia squealed like a toddler on their birthday, "We're in the same group." She would not survive 5 minutes without them. All that muscle and she couldn't even hurt a fly. Yeah...there was a reason they weren't going to Mystacor. Catra glowered scarily behind her.

"Catra is going to be with us too! And Entrapta!"

"Hi! I don't know if we've talked properly yet but I really wanted to ask you about your shapeshifting. It's fascinating! Do you have to change into different clothes when you shift? If you don't what happens to the clothes? Or any objects? How do you change your voice, do you change your vocal chords?" Pigtails chattered at them.

"Magic?" They never listened in biology classes. They preferred drama. The sentient haired princess hummed curiously and started muttering into a voice recorder as she inspected them. Catra was still fixing them with a deadly glare. Well. They certainly wouldn't be bored.
