Claire

"Princess Entrapta will be  a total catch for the rebellion. My mom's gonna be so impressed!" You could probably hear Glimmer screaming from like 20 miles away. Also I don't know Entrapta that much so I don't understand why we need her.

"Uh, I'm all fo impressing your mom, but why is this girl so important?" I asked.

"She's brilliant inventor. She makes robots and rehabs old tech left by the First Ones. She's a pretty big deal in the Etherian makers community." Bow was pretty excited about her.

"Oh, so she is like Claire in the Hoarde community." There Adora goes bringing up the Hoarde. I mean I still feel bad working for them and they'll have to brainwash me if I go back. But part of me feels bad leaving. Like I left Catra behind and now Adora and Catra are like total enemies. 

"What do you mean?" Glimmer questioned. OH MY GOD I forgot to tell them I worked with building the robots. I probably worked with my dad to on this big invention thing. My mind is still foggy from getting my memories back. I guess it would have been better if I got my memory back when they first found me. Then maybe I would still remember everything.

"I worked with building the robots in the Hoarde." I finally said.

"What?!?!?!? How could you do that!" Glimmer was now screaming at me. I really didn't want to remind her that I had never seen the outside world and that it wasn't my fault.

"Glimmer calm down. We have been over this, Claire and Adora thought what they were doing was good."

"We'll I bet Adora thought that she was doing good not Claire." I heard Glimmer mumble.

"What is your problem with me." I yelled

"Ok, ok, ok everyone calm down." Bow separated us. I was on Adora's side and Glimmer was on Bow's side. It was silent for a while until Glimmer speak up.

"If we can convince Entrapta to join the Rebellion, she'll invent all sorts of cool junk for us. And then we'll finally have weapons that can stand up to the Hoarde's. But I mean it can't be that hard if Claire built them." I am about to blow.

"Hey, who wants to see my trick arrows." Bow was trying to break up an argument. "I'm running low, so I built new ones. This one is a stub arrow, this one is an emergency flare. And this one? This one's just pointy. And here's my newest one." He threw this arrow up in the air. It was blue at the top of it. "Sonic arrow!"

"When will we ever need a sonic arrow?" Glimmer sassed. I was not in a good mood to be told about arrows but she could at least be a little nicer. "If we have to wake up really early?"

"Or if we separated in a crowd?" Adora and Glimmer walked away laughing.

"Separated in a crowd." Bow mocked. "I bet Entrapta will like my arrows."

"I like your arrows, Bow."

"Thanks Claire. At least someone appreciates my arrows."

...

We kept walking until we saw a bunch of rocks blocking our path.

"Must've been a rockslide. Any loud sound could cause another slide. We need to be as quiet as—" Before Bow could finish his sentence Adora took out her sword.

"For the honor of Grayskull!" Bow had a panic look on his face. "Ha! I'm getting the hang of this."

"That was incredibly dangerous."

"I got to side on Bow with this one. We could have got hurt Adora. You could have gotten hurt." If she got hurt I would never forgive myself.

"Just because your mad at Glimmer, Claire, doesn't mean you have to be mad at me. Besides what's the big deal? It worked."

"You can't just bust through with magic! She-Ra could've caused an avalanche." Bow was right. The mountain could probably be coming down right now.

"But she didn't, okay?" She was acting like it was no big deal. "I spent my whole life without powers. No way am I gonna stop using them now."

"I did. My powers aren't fully controlled yet and I have a feeling so aren't yours. So I say we give She-Ra a break at the moment."

Before we could say anything we heard lighting. Right in front of us was this castle sorta thing.

"Woah, she's got lighting."

Glimmer teleported to the castle. "Something's wrong. The castle's distress beacon is lit. They must be under attack."

"If you say the Horde, I am going to punch you in the face Glimmer."

"I didn't say it was the Horde." She argued.

"You were thinking it." She seemed to be pretty mad I said that because she teleported off.

"There's been no report of the Horde in this area." Adora started to run off.

"From what I remember the Horde is not very good on secretive missions." I stated.

"Whoa, wait. Be careful." I heard Bow yell. But me Adora were already inside.

There was this ringing in my head. It was giving me a headache.

"Hey you okay?" Glimmer asked us. She seemed concerned.

"This place feels wrong." We both said at the same time. We looked at each other. In that moment we both knew it was not going to be an easy fight. She teleported us somewhere."

We heard something fall. "Hey! Who's there?" Adora ripped out her sword ready to fight.

"Hello? Princess Entrapta?" Glimmer called out. "We're here to, uh, recruit you for the Rebellion." I looked at Glimmer and I could have sworn a hand was crawling up her leg. But it was on the ground not moving. She picked it up and it clutched onto her arm. She started shaking it trying to get it off.

"Okay." I see Bow running towards us, out of breath. "We need to be careful. Entrapta has traps set up all over her castle. They're supposed to be really cool."

There was an explosion.

This green little goblin dude popped out of the sewer. "They're coming. Get out of the square."

Adora knelt down to the sewer, "Who's coming? Is it the Horde?

Glimmer teleported over to the sewer too, "Hello? Come back!"

"I'm thinking we should probably move away from whatever is making that sound."

"This way." We all start running to the direction Adora was pointing to. I hear Bow gasp. I see a robot cooking towards us. Adora kicks it. It then fell to the floor. It could barely move but it was still coming towards us. Bow took one of his arrows and shot it.

"All right, stand back." Adora took out her sword and was about to attack a door.

"Careful. It could be a—" Bow tried to warn us about something but Adora went to hit it anyway. The floor opened up and we fell through it.

We fell for what seemed like forever. We landed in this cage sort of thing.

"Bow. He's alm alone with those things. He needs us!"

"We have to get out of here first." I started banging on the cage m. Trying to find some loose part that will open.

"I'll teleport us out." Glimmer teleported us to probably everywhere in this castle.

"No more teleporting from now on." Adora seemed to be a little traumatized.

"Sounds like a good idea." Glimmer agreed.

We heard this thud. We turned to look at what it is. If a another robot came out at me I think I was going to accidentally teleport myself to the Horde. We saw red eyes and then I heard a voice.

I guess I was so freaked out that I felt a tingly feeling.

"Oh no, not again" I thought. But it was happening and I couldn't stop it.

I closed my eyes but when I opened them I saw a figure working on some type of machine. It turned around and saw me.

"Dad?!?" I guess I was so stressed out that I fainted. But I knew that something bad was about to happen.
