A dwarf planet that seems alive shifts and turns while being surrounded by countless starships. Deep within the planet a scream is heard. Not of fear or happiness but of pain, the splattering of blood and flesh meeting iron echoes in the chamber. The chamber itself is windowless with only a steel chair with arm and leg restrains being seen. And who is sitting in said chair? A bloodied Seahawk smirks while coughing up blood.

"Am I still pretty? Give it to me straight doc."  Seahawk weakly says smiling which reveals several teeth which have been either forcibly pulled or have been broken by force.

A purple scaled dragonkin smirks with an aura of amusement but her green gleaming eyes speak that of annoyance and hostility.

"What are you're defensive plans incase of an invasion." Korra says grabbing him by his hair.

"Ah please not the hair, you would amazed how difficult it is having such great hair." Seahawk says with a grin

"Maybe I should just kill you." Korra says growling while extending one of finger like claws towards his eye.

Seahawk smiles.

"If you wanted me dead, I would have killed by now so you must need me alive right?" Seahawk says staring into her eyes.

"Well that's true we do need you alive." Korra says causally.

"Alive yes. With all you're body parts? Now that's a bit of a grey area." Korra says plunging her fingers into his eye ball and plucking it out.

Seahawk teneses as he tries to move, he let's a blood curdling scream then relaxes as she finishes.

"Now tell me everything or you lose both." Korra says her fingers hovering over his remaining eye.

Seahawk catches his breath before smiling.

"Have it you're way." Korra says ripping out his last eye.

"Huh? He passed out? Hey wake up!" Korra says extending one of her claws and piercing his side.

As it reaches deeper his body convulse's until he screams

"Good you're awake. It's far to early for you to be passing out. You have so many more parts left." Korra says sadistically

Korra makes her way to his fingers when the door behind her opens.

"I thought I told you not to kill him." Yurug says displeased.

"He's not see." Korra says digging her finger in his wound which causes a slight pained groan.

"Play time is over. Our allies have arrived with creature." Yurug says moving to the side of the room.

Behind Yurug reveals a translucent jellyfish wrapped in chains.

"Do it." He says

The jellyfish sends its tendrils into Seahawks ears. He struggles screaming while he tries escape his restraints until he sits motionless.

"What information are you after." Seahawk says in a dull voice.

"What are the defensive plans if an invasion occurs." Yurug says

The jelly fish glows then one of its eyes project a translucent image on the wall.

"I will begin playing the memory." It says

Yurugs eyes widen in shock while Korra breaks up laughing.

"What the hell is this!?" Yurug shouts in frustration.

They all look at the memories that is supposed to be him at strategy meetings and important conferences but is meet with images of Mermista.

"I've checked all his memory regarding what you requested but it seems all he payed attention to was her." It says using seahawks  voice.

The creature cycles through each memory, Korra continues to laugh while watching.
The first memory is that of Mermista focused on writing down notes until she notices his gaze then covers her face with her notes out of embarrassment.

The next is watching her argue with someone passionately. The memory warps then hearts appear surrounding her.

"What's happening?" Yurug says

"This is how viewed her at this moment." It says

"Argh. What is the defense of Etherian home world." He says

Seahawk body struggles a bit before stopping.

"Hm. Four orbiting fortresses, a mine field surrounding the planet, each moon has its own fortress, planetary defense cannons and lastly each runestone has been fortified into it's own building. Hm quite the defense." Yurug says

"The outer planets don't even have half the defense force Etheria does. Seems like that they don't care much but anything that isn't their home. " Korra says scoffing

"You're wrong. If anything they should have built more. If even one of the those runsetones go down the entire planet will be affected. And not to mention the heart of Etheria." Yurug says

"The heart of Etheria? What's that?" Korra says

"A last ditch effort to destroy the horde. Don't worry they won't use it or should say they can't now that she-ra is dead." Yurug says

"Good. Had me worried for a second. Leave the integrating to me. It'll probably be a couple days to sift through all these memories." Korra says in annoyance.

"No. We don't have time. Our allies are inpatient and are threatening to start the invasion early. This will be our last question." Yurug says

"What is Catra's weakness." Yurug says

Seahawks body begins to twist and struggle.

"I've lost control which should be impossible. Stop him from biting off his tongue if you would." The jellyfish says

Korra quickly sticks her finger in his mouth preventing him from biting. The jelly fish digs its tendrils deeper. After a couple seconds the body laxes.

"I've regained control and will show the memory." It says

The memory begins with Seahawk leaning over the edge of his boat looking across the sea. Moments later Catra manifests from shadow next him.

"So heard you and Mermista got into fight." Catra says while looking out towards the sea.

"Yeah." He says

"I'm not best person talk about this stuff with but you're kid begged me to so I'm here to remind you that when you two fight it affects others as well." Catra says her words being harsh.

"Miranda..." Seahawk says before letting out a sigh.

Seahawk smashes his face against the boat before turning to Catra with blood trickling down.

"Thank you. We both sometimes forget that we have another person to look after." Seahawk says with a smile.

"Tell me about it, I know that Merry's an adult now but I still worry." Catra says awkwardly

"Makes you want to do anything to keep them safe right?" Seahawk says

"Yes. You're exactly right, I'd do anything keep her safe." Catra says smiling.

The memory ends and the jelly fish removes its tendrils.

"Anymore and the subject will expire." It says

"This is more than enough. Send out report to all commanders that capture this child and others like her. It's the highest priority." Yurug says to A.I. on his wrist device.

"Hmmmm I'm sure we can get more out him." Korra says

"Fine just-" Yurug begins but is interrupted by silas entering.

"I'm sorry to interrupt lord but our allies have begun to move." Silas says

"Dammit, were leaving let's go." Yurug says

"What about him?" Korra jesters to the unconscious seahawk.

"Leave him. I'll send a medic to patch him up and take him back to prison cell." Yurug says

"Aw no fun." Korra says

"Now's not the time for games. We go to war!" Yurug says
