...

...

Adora ran through the length of the Woods, having just spoken with Madame Razz.

...

Meanwhile, the portal tore at the world behind her.

...

...

She ran as fast as she possibly could, pumping her arms as her legs carried her.

...

I have to find them!

Bow... Glimmer... Y/N...

...

Adora was hoping she wasn't too late.

The Fright Zone was already swallowed up by the portal, and the Whispering Woods was next.

...

...

But as she continued going, she couldn't get rid of the guilt that she had tried to hide away.

She couldn't save her.

She couldn't save Catra.

...

Despite her pleas, despite promising her she wouldn't be left behind...

Catra still chose otherwise.

And Adora had to watch as the feline basically gave herself up to the portal, choosing the bleak fate of the world over joining Adora.

...

...

And the blonde couldn't let go of that.

...

Adora's pace only slowed down for some time as she realized the portal wasn't as close.

Flashes of her friends went by.

...

I can make it.

I can still fix this.

...

...

A sudden boom erupted behind her, and Adora stumbled back in fear.

But it wasn't the portal that had been tearing apart Etheria.

It was something else.

Though reminiscent of a portal, it wasn't like that, exactly.

...

...

Adora, shocked and ready to run, watched as some sort of portal-like shape took form.

She could hear a distant shouting, growing closer and closer.

Suddenly, from that source, came someone, shouting as the portal thumed.

...

They both shouted as Adora was sideswiped by this mysterious person.

The two were sent tumbling across the vegetation, grunting in pain from each impact.

...

...

Said person was over top of the blonde, both of them groaning.

"Ugh..." the person held at their head, propping themself up.

Adora opened her eyes.

...

Over top of her, she saw this person, and panicked.

She tried to shove the person back, but the person resisted.
