*in Bright Moon's council chamber,Glimmer teleports Bow and Huntara into the room. Making Mermista shout as her chair tips over*
Glimmer: Oh, you're already here. Perfect.
Mermista: Yeah. Where have you been? Is this some new She-Ra form?Where's Sophia?
Glimmer: No. this is Huntara. She's the leader of the Crimson Waste. Or was. We don't have time to get into it. We need to get to the Fright Zone.
Queen Angella: The world doesn't stop just because you aren't here. We have been planning our attack on the Horde.
Bow: Ohh. That's a relief, because Catra kidnapped Adora and Sophia.(they all gasp)
Queen Angella: The Horde has Adora and Sophia?
Glimmer: Which also means they can open a portal because they have theirs swords.
Queen Angella: What? I don't understand.
Glimmer: There's no time to waste.
Queen Angella: Glimmer, slow down.
Glimmer: We need to go to the Fright Zone now.
Queen Angella: We? You are not going anywhere until you explain. Glimmer, outside. Now.

*In Hordak's sanctum,Hordak grunts as his suit hurts him*
Entrapta: This suit may be my best work yet.(Hordak's suit glitches, zaps him making him shout)No reason to get in a tizzy.
Hordak: I have never been in a tizzy.
Entrapta: you can't expect everything to work perfectly overnight. Like our machine. We still haven't figured out the missing piece that'll let us cut through the planetary interference. If we try now, the portal might not be stable long enough to get anyone through.
Hordak: (sighs) We only need to open a portal for a short time. Long enough to send a signal through to Horde Prime. Once he receives it, he should have not trouble opening a portal from his side.
Entrapta: And then you'll have to go with them. But there's still so much data we could collect. What's the rush? We'll just keep working on it until it's perfect.(Suddenly the Doors open and a muffled Adora and Sophia are drag in by Catra and Entrapta gasps)
Catra: What? Heh. Didn't expect to see me again?
Entrapta: Oh, you have a whip now?
Catra: Focus. I got what you needed. These two swords are the key to the whole planet.
Entrapta: I suppose it makes sense. She-Ra's and Scarlett's swords are First Ones tech, maybe the most powerful I've ever seen. All this time, this was the key that we needed. I guess I should figure out how it works.
Catra: (snaps fingers) I brought you everything you need to open a portal and finish the Princesses off for good. What are we waiting for?
Hordak: Hmmm.

*back at Bright Moon*
Glimmer: We're wasting too much time. We need to act. The Horde has Adora, Sophia and the two Swords.
Queen Angella: And then what? How are you going to get in? You have no plan. We are not rushing in. I won't lose anyone else.
Glimmer: Before I started "rushing in" the Rebellion hadn't made a move in years. You need me.
Queen Angella: I need you to be a leader, and that means not running off whenever you feel like it.
Glimmer: What's the point? You'll always be around, telling me what I can't do.
Queen Angela: You never listen. I try and try to reach you, to trust you.
Glimmer: (laughs) You wanna talk about trust? How come you never told me that Shadow Weaver was Dad's old teacher? Or you never told Sophia that she was a First one.
Queen Angella: I... It was a long time ago and I was trying to keep Sophia safe,do you know how much danger she would have been in if the Horde or everyone knew who she really was?
Glimmer: You know what? We should be talking to Shadow Weaver. She knows the Horde.
Queen Angella: She can't be trusted.
Glimmer: We have to do something. You would see that if you weren't totally paralyzed by fear.
Queen Angella: I am your queen, and I say we cannot afford to lose anyone else. Either come up with a reasonable plan, Commander Glimmer, or stay out of the way.(Glimmer sighs and Mermista whistles and pretends to not have heard that)
Bow: Uh...

*Back at Hordak's sanctum*
Entrapta: With the swords connected to the portal machine, we should finally be able to bypass the planetary interference. I just have no idea how it works. Heh.(Adora shouting through gag while Sophia tries to get out)
Hordak: Must they be here?
Entrapta: Good question. I'm not sure if we just need the two swords or if we need She-Ra and Scarlett, too. Adora or Sophia, you two wouldn't happen to know, would you? (removes the gag from them both)
Adora: No. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell the Horde.
Sophia:Not sure.
Entrapta: That's okay. (replaces gag) I like figuring stuff out.
Adora: (spits out gag) Please, Entrapta, you don't wanna do this.
Hordak: Silence! Entrapta, begin.
Adora: You. You took me away from my family when I was a baby. You lied to me my whole life, about the Princesses, about Etheria, about who I am.
Hordak: I could not have lied to you about who you are. Because I have never known nor cared about someone as inconsequential as you.
Sophia:(spits out gag) You're also the reason my Parents are dead! You send Shadow witch after them!
Hordak: I haven't sent her to do—(he suddenly looks at her) your one of them? You know how to build the portal!(he walks over to her and grabs her by the neck) Tell me how to open it! Now!
Adora:(shouts) she doesn't know anything! Let her go!
Sophia:(she glares at him and tries to get air) I...Don't know...how....
Hordak: Don't lie to me!! Your pathetic parents knew how to open the portal! That's why I send Shadow Weaver and capture them!(Sophia and Adora look at him in shock.he lets go her and Sophia falls on her knees gasping for air)
Sophia: I don't know how and even if I did I wouldn't tell you,you don't scare me Hordak because Me and Adora are going to be the ones who's gonna make sure you fail.
Hordak: I will not fail. You two have no power to stop me. I am opening that portal. And I am going to use you two's own swords to wipe out the rest of your pathetic Rebellion once and for –(Hordak's suit glitches, sparks making him grunt)
Entrapta: Oh.
Hordak: Get it to work.(both Swords start to hum and then they both flie to the portal machine)
Entrapta: Woah. Wow.
