This story takes places 2 years after Horde primes fall. This will be Catra's story, and this time Adora isn't around. Will she go to far? Will she find her redemption or will she slip back into her old ways
Dusk begins to set as the light slowly creeps down away from Catra's office window. Catra lazily rest her head on her mechanical hand as she stares out of her window.
"You know out of all the assassins that have targeted me your the first to use magic. But unfortunately you don't seem to realize that shadows are under my Dominion." Catra says with a low growl.
Catra raises her corrupted hand, the shadows around her swirl quickly forming a claw behind her. A groan is heard as from behind Catra squirms a humanoid figure.
Their green skin barley beneath its blackened armor that seems almost insect like with spiked shoulders along with a golden scarab in its center.
The shadows writhe and envelope the assassin, Catra flicks her hand bringing the assassin to her knees in front of her.
"You know since my rise to power I've been targeted for assasination 34 times. But your the first to be able to reach this deep into my empire. To bad you're weak." Catra growls as lighting snakes up through the shadows causing the assassin to scream.
"Wait! I....not....assassin...golden.." he says in pain.
"Ah the golden Scarab information guild." Catra says stopping her magic. The shadows fall away leaving him panting.
"My apologies for startling you lady Catra." He says kneeling.
"You didn't startle me. In fact you made a boring office day a bit more enjoyable." Catra says with a smirk
"It is my pleasure to serve." He says not falling for her provocation.
"Tch! How boring. Well? Why are you here." Catra says
"My superiors have found the Horde cloning World." He says
As he finishes the relaxed Catra flinches. The air grows tense as a wide grin grows on her face.
"And what is it that you want in return?" Catra says
"Here is a list of several planets that the horde controls. We would like these planets transferred to us when you win the war." He says
"Deal. Oh yes before you go make tell your boss that if anyone comes to me like you did, I'll kill them." Catra says
With a bow he nods hands Catra a thin crystal sliver then disappears into shadow.
"I assume you heard all that Alpha." Catra says
"Of course." Alpha says appearing in her vision.
"The question now is who should I give this scouting mission too." Catra says tossing the me Data crystal to Alpha.
"Did I hear the call to adventure!" Seahawk shouts as he barges into the room.
"Seahawk...we've gone over this haven't we." Catra says with annoyance.
"oh right boundaries well I'll be sure to remember next time. More importantly I volunteer for this mission!" Seahawk says jumping for the Data crystal. Alpha quickly moves the data into her body.
"Look I'm not saying no but ask your wife first okay? Last time she was angry at me for not checking with her." Catra says
"There's no need! I already know my love would approve!" Seahawk says
"Too bad, have her send me the okay and I'll let you go." Catra says sighing.
"Fine." He says before running out.
"Is there anything else that needs my attention? If not I'm going to continue working on these incident reports." Catra says
"There is actually, you have two hours till you are to meet eveyone in brightmoon for unity day celebration." Alpha says
"Yeah, I decided I'm not going. Parties aren't really my thing." Catra says
"Unfortunately you don't have a choice. Did you forget that today is the day we chose peace instead of war. You have a obligation to make a speech to the entire Etherian Empire." Alpha says
"Ugh can't you just do it instead." Catra groans
"Nope." Alpha says humming as she changes Catra's office room into her bedroom.
The desk sinks into the floor as bed raises from the ground. While a closet forms with a mirror.
"Do I really have too?" Catra says stretching while yawning.
"Speeches are part of the job description." Alpha says
"Ugh fine." Catra says getting up.
Catra strips as she makes her way to the closet. She glances over to the mirror beside her.
"How attractive." Catra says mockingly as she notices a long scar running down her chest. She takes her corrupted arm looking at dark purple veins running up to her neck. "The scar across your eye does it affect your vision?" Alpha says
"No. It just adds to my beauty." Catra says with a grin.
Catra looks through her closet until she freezes at purple tuxedo.
"Isn't that what you wore-" Alpha says
"That's in the past. Besides I'd rather were something new." Catra says moving it aside.
"How about that one?" Alpha says using a laser to point at it.
Catra puts the dress on moving from side to side checking out how it looks at her.

"Don't you think this outfit is a bit much?" Catra says worryingly
"Of course not! You look great! All the ambassadors will be at the party it'll do you some good to show them something other than you're terrifying image." Alpha says
"But I like my image!" Catra says
"I should remind you that we are trying to rule without fear." Alpha says
"I know, the galaxy has had enough tyrants trying to rule." Catra says
"Yup, so smile!" Alpha says laughing
Catra forces a smile "wait nevermind its creepy." Alpha says
