1 | Band Of Rats

Today was the day. The day the horde would take the final blow to the rebellion. They had already taken Salineas, Dryl, Plumeria, and were about to take the Kingdom of Snows. Catra was as happy as ever. She had finally gotten what she wanted ever since she was a child, Etheria. She always knew she was more than what Shadow Weaver predicted her to be. She was smarter, stronger, and a better person to rely on than her.

Catra raised from her bed. Towering over her were Rogelio, Lonnie, and Kyle. Catra screeched. "What the heck are you guys doing in here?! I didn't give you permission to come in here! Did I?!" she exclaimed. The three of them quickly shook their heads. "No, force captain," Lonnie replied.

She huffed as she climbed out of her blankets and over to her mirror. She slammed her hands on the counter and her tail swayed from side to side. "Well, what are you doing in here anyway?" she asked. "Hordak told us to inform you that he has a plan to take Bright Moon. He wants to go over it with you immediately. So we're here to act as transport to take you to Dryl," Kyle replied.

Dryl? Why was Hordak in Dryl? There's nothing out there anyway. "Alright. Tell him I'll be there in an hour," Catra mumbled, still deep in thought. Then her team left her room. "Did you see Catra's eyes... she looked tired," she heard Kyle say. Catra stomped out into the hall. The three soldiers turned around in shock.

A little word of advice, don't go talking about people around their backs. You got that? You don't know anything about me!" Catra exclaimed angrily. The three of them nod. "Now scram!" With that, they ran off. Catra slowly walked back into her room, her toes sliding across the floor. She made her way over to her mirror and looked at the dark circles under her eyes. She sighed. "It's almost over. You'll be free soon."

(Later on)

Catra was now on her way to Dryl. Since they made camp in Salineas, she had to take a boat to get closer to land, something she hated doing. Catra wasn't exactly a fan of water. She didn't like the way it ran down on her skin and soaked her body.

"Force captain!" Kyle exclaimed, startling Catra out of her thoughts. "What now?! Why aren't we moving?!" she asked, already being annoyed for the morning. "Rogelio saw a ship coming up behind us on our radar. It looks like the princesses," he says. Catra groaned. "Let them follow us. I'll deal with blondie and her band of rats myself."

Catra and her team made their way back to Salineas. If the princesses were following them, they'd definitely want to take their precious kingdom back.

They stopped the boat right outside the now damaged gate. "Wait here. They should come up behind us any second now," Catra said, keeping her eyes out on the ocean. Lonnie and Kyle suited up and knelt behind her. Rogelio would take care of the main defence.

Suddenly, Catra spotted a bright ship approaching them in the distance. "Fire on my call, Rogelio," Catra ordered. Rogelio growled in response. Catra had no idea what he was saying, but he would never defy her orders.

Catra could see that the ship started to speed up. "For the honour of grayskull!" she heard the blonde say before she leaped from her ship and landed in front of Catra. "Fire at the ship, now!" Catra exclaimed.

Rogelio did exactly so. He launched a canon straight for the ship. It blew a hole and the ship started to sink. The blonde groaned as she transformed her sword into a spear. She launched at the cat but she jumped back. "Long time no see, blondie," Catra said, lips curving into a sly smirk. "Catra. What are you doing out here?" Adora asked.

"The usual. Killing innocent and weak Etherians," Catra replied. "Catra, this has gone too far. I know you're not that person Catra. Join the rebellion. Help us fight Hordak." This was probably the millionth time that Adora has told her this. Her answer was the same everytime.
