The Crimson Waste

Chapter 1

A/n I attempted finding modernized outfits for this event. But only found for some people. The others I will just simply describe them to y'all as best I can. It's just I really suck at like outfit describing like for the life of me I cannot! So I will attempt to find pictures and just state which belongs to which Character. But yeah. Also example of pidge's armour pad above, just accept literally imagine like it's part iPad so she can type messages on it etc.

The leaders of the Crimson waste all sit in one room. Catra amongst them. She Is being given information to inform her squad about. It's been four years since Adora's disappearance. Catra and her team are now 19. The team consists of Lonnie, Aurora, DT, Vincent, Pidge and Catra. Catra hasn't been quite the same. It took her the whole year just to start talking to her friends like they were her friends again. Once they were back in again, their bond was stronger than ever. When they go on missions Catra has one rule. No man left behind. She even risks her life to ensure they are safe most of the time. She refuses to lose anymore people to the Rebellion, who don't want them to live in peace. They started this war for no reason all those years ago. It's all in the Force Captain debriefing. Catra finally started being more herself again during the second year. She is healed now, but hasn't forgotten. She will stop at nothing to get Adora back. "We have located the lost Horde members." Catra's eyes widen as she looks up at Shadow Weaver. "They appear to be apart of the Rebellion." A few gasps are sounded as Catra shook her head as she stands up abruptly, her chair echoing as it falls to the ground, everyone turning to her in surpise.

Shadow Weaver masks her smirk. She knew this for four years already but this was the perfect time to deliver the blow. Catra has reached prime power. Her squad is the fastest. Strongest. Simply put they are the best of the best and if their leader becomes unhinged so will they. They have proven throughout the years that they will do anything for the each other. They have the greatest bond. Making them the most elite strike force ever. They are the Crimson Waste's strongest assets.

"There are too many of them! You guys have to leave without me. I am uploading the data to the main frame." Pidge says as she hangs from the ledge dangling over an acid pool surrounded by dead soldiers and a few live ones aiming their weapons at her. Her eyes focused on the downloading line on her digtal wrist armour.

"No Pidge we're coming to get you." Catra says her voice slightly panicked.

"Don't worry Cat, it's all translated in normal english as you guys put it." Pidge attempts to make a joke. A single tear dropping on the armour pad.

Catra shakes her head. "Cut it out Pidge. We're coming to get you. Period." Catra gets on one of their motors. "DT, Aurora cover me." DT and Aurora jump on behind Catra firing at everyone who stands in their way while Vince keeps the engine running and Lonnie stands guard. Catra jumps off the motor bike, DT taking control while Catra kicks down a soldier and grabs Pidge's dangling arm. "Couldn't just let me die huh?" Pidge smiles up at Catra. Catra chuckles and pulls her up. "Never. No man left behind." Catra jumps on behind the Motor, Pidge following suit as they make their way back to the main vehicle. "Now let's get that important information about the Rebellion home." Catra smirks at Pidge, Pidge smirks right back.

"You're lying! They- They wouldn't. They are being controlled or forced!" Catra yells out, her hands slamming on the table.

Shadow Weaver walks to Catra in silence. Catra's fear evident but she holds a strong facade. Shadow Weaver cups Catra's face. "My dear warrior. I am not. If they are being mind controlled we will discover that, but they seem more then willing." Catra glares at the ground. Shadow Weaver pleased with her plan coming together walks off. "Force Captain Catra. Your team will lead the mission. We need you guys to investigate this matter and if it comes down to it. Fight. Capture them or kill them. Your choice really. Dismissed." All the other Force Captains hesitantly stand and leave, all while glancing at Catra sympathetically.
