Adora woke up after a drop fell on her cheek. She was lying down in a cave where all she could hear was the sound of water falling. Her sword was right next to her. When Adora grabbed it and looked at the blood stained blade, her eyes turned green once again and she began to wriggle.
She started to walk towards the exit of that cave.
"Keep walking!" She said with a strange voice.
Adora found herself outside the cave, which was behind the Crystal Falls. She didn't know how she got there; her body moved without her wanting to.
Adora went to wash the blood off her sword at the shore.
"What have I done?" She was supposed to use that weapon to help her friends and protect Etheria, instead she hurted someone she loved with it.
Kowl spotted her from the sky and flew to her.
"There you are!" He was relieved.
"What are you doing here, Kowl?" Adora asked.
"I was looking for you. Hoot-Why did you ran away?" He questioned.
"I had to get away from the others. What if I went crazy again and hurted someone else?" .
"So you're not going back to Bright Moon?" Kowl asked.
"I can't. . ." Adora started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" .
"To the only place where a monster is welcomed" She answered.
Kowl followed Adora for a while, to see where she was going.
When he realized she was directed to the Fright Zone, he decided to fly back to Bright Moon and allert her friends.

Hordak was in his room, alone. He walked to his throne and saw a long cut on the backrest.
That was made to distract him while Adora sneaked behind him. She used her sword to cut off his robotic arm.
Hordak fell down the stairs of the throne's base and when he stood on his knees, Adora placed the blade of her sword close to his neck.
"What was that you said when you made me Force Captain? 'The day you'll be able to sneak behind my back, I'll lose my throne'? Guess you were right" She sounded angry.
"Why are you here?" Hordak questioned.
"She-ra or not, I'm going to put an end to this war. If I move my sword just a little, your throat will be like your throne" .
"You wouldn't do that" Hordak said.
"Maybe she wouldn't. . . But I could" Adora spoke with a male voice. Hordak recognized it and saw that her eyes were glowing green.
"It's you" He was almost frightened.
"It's been a while. How are you, little brother?" Adora grinned in a sinister way.

Leech, Mantenna and Grizzlor went in Hordak's room.
"My lord, you wanted to see us?" Leech asked.
With surprise they found Adora sitting on the throne. Hordak was tied to a machine with some wires.
"Adora?" Leech was confused.
"Not anymore" That person said.
"Horde. . .Prime?" Grizzlor recognized his voice just like Hordak did, but he couldn't believe it was really him.
"Good to know you didn't forget me" Horde Prime stood up from the throne.
"But- how is this possible!? We saw you dying!" Mantenna exclaimed.
"After I was killed, my soul transfered to the closest thing there was" Prime looked at the sword of protection "For eighteen years I've been trapped inside this sword, alone and in the complete darkness. But when Adora found it, I slowly took control of her mind. Everytime she allowed her emotions to take over her, I tried to see how far I could make her go. And now I have full control of her body" Prime made a wound on Adora's hand with the sword's blade.
He didn't react to that, but the girl couldn't either.
Hordak was looking at him with a vivid expression.
"You thought you could take my place as the Horde leader, little brother? Instead you'll understand what's like to be trapped for years" Prime ordered Grizzlor and Leech to take Hordak to the prisons.
Grizzlor freed him from the wires to bring him away, while Leech was pointing a stung baton at him.
Then Horde Prime ordered Mantenna to capture their technician. The Force Captain went in Entrapta's laboratory and started looking for her in the dark.
"How can she work in such a creepy place?" Mantenna got scared when something flew next to him. He prepared his rifle to shoot, only to realize it was just Entrapta's bat.
"Little freak!. . . She's also obsessed with bats" .
Imp was hanging upside down above him.

Grizzlor kept Hordak's arm behind his back as they were leading him to the prisons.
"Luck is finally on our side! Now that Horde Prime is back, we can continue with the conquest of this planet and defeat those rebells once and for all" Grizzlor was enthusiastic.
"Good! I was tired of doing the bare minimum" Leech agreed with him.
Hordak didn't say a word.
Him and Grizzlor heard a strangled sound and looked back. Leech was no longer behind them, but his stung baton was on the floor.
Grizzlor looked up and saw Entrapta on the ceiling, looking down at him with a sadic smile. Leech was trapped in her hair, like a fly in a spider web.
Hordak hitted Grizzlor with his elbow to free himself from his grip. Then Hordak grabbed the stung baton and used it on the man. After Grizzlor fell on the floor, Entrapta crawled down the ceiling, keeping Leech trapped with her hair.
"I knew I could count on you, my dear" Hordak said, caressing her face.
"My dear. . .?" Grizzlor breathed.
"Yes, we're a thing. Don't tell me you didn't suspect anything" Entrapta held Hordak's arm.
She openned the door of a closet and threw Leech and Grizzlor inside it.
"Guys, Entrapta isn't in her laboratory" Mantenna warned them with his communicator watch.
"We know! She locked us in the closet and she ran away with Hordak!" Leech told him. Grizzlor was trying to push down the door.
"We better find them. I don't want to know what Horde Prime is going to do if he descovers we lost his brother" Mantenna knew that Prime's punishments were worst than Hordak's.

Glimmer and Bow were discussing with the others about where Adora could be.
"Our cavalry is patrolling the territories of the Great Rebellion" Lohni informed them. She was wearing an armor of Bright Moon's royal guard.
"We should be looking for her as well" Glimmer said.
"And Catra! She is seriously injured and probably scared after what happened" Scorpia butted into the discussion.
"I can't believe Adora was She-ra all along. . . Okay, maybe it was pretty obvious. But did she really try to kill Catra?" Romeo asked.
"What she did was. . . It was like that wasn't Adora" Bow said.
Everyone heard something hitting the window: Kowl glued on the glass.
Bow went to open the window to let him in and brought him to the table. The owl began to make weird gestures with his wings.
"What is he doing?" Angella asked.
"It's like he's trying to tell us something" Micah said.
"Let me handle this. I'm the imitation master" Romeo watched Kowl's weird dance to decipher it "He saw Adora. . . They talked. Actually they argued and she. . . She's going to the Fright Zone!" .
"Wow. You really understand animals" Bow was looking at him with heart eyes.
"Lohni, call the guards! We'll storm the Fright Zone if it's necessary" Angella ordered to the girl and she hurried to call them.
