Hey guys!! I thought I'd reshare this map thing Wattpad does now that this story has more thoroughly blown up lol. U can tag urself again if u want, I just find it so insane so many ppl from every continent (especially the non English speaking countries) have seen this silly little story

also this chapter is kinda crazy btw

You spent a comfortable few days in Brightmoon, working with Angella and the princesses on how you would stop Hordak. The plan was simple: Frosta would freeze the sewage system, and then the rest of the princesses would walk through without fear of getting dirty. You would return, distracting Entrapta while Adora and Glimmer would work together to destroy the portal. They would get all of the portal parts they could into a cart engineered by Bow, and then Mermista would float the parts away through the sewers so the Horde wouldn't have access to any of the parts or magic that made it work in the first place. The other princesses will tag along in case anything goes wrong. Sounds easy enough, right?

The day arrives, and you wonder what will happen to Catra after. If Hordak puts together that she sent you, she would most definitely meet the same fate as Shadow Weaver, or worse. You shake your head instinctively, trying to shake the thought out of your head. Catra will be fine, Adora will be fine, and Hordak won't be fine, you hope.

You direct the princesses to a manhole and let Frosta go in first. She freezes the water so the rest of you can walk, and everyone else follows quietly. You guide them to Hordak's chambers, where Entrapta was building, but are surprised to find it barren. Not even Entrapta is in there working. Glimmer teleports you inside before quickly teleporting back underground, and you wander around looking for Entrapta, not looking to be seen by anyone else. Against your better judgement, you leave Hordak's empty chambers and step out into an equally empty hallway. You signal for the princesses to come up, and they are just as surprised at the lack of portal in the room.

You all venture into the hallway, and as your anxiety climbs about being spotted, you still can't find anyone. You make it all the way down, checking every room for someone hoping and dreading you'll find them eventually. You were right to be worried. You all make your way outside, only to find the force captains, Entrapta, Catra, and Hordak standing next to the portal. You quickly realize everyone was nowhere to be found because they're taking cover. Taking cover in case something goes wrong with the portal they're about to turn on. 

Adora charges before anyone can react, quickly transforming but Catra is quick to meet her with her staff. "I promised you princesses, didn't I?" she says back to Hordak and to your horror. 

"Is this your sick way of baiting us? It worked! Even you are in danger now!" Adora says between swings at Catra. Catra's face falters, and then she signals to Entrapta to turn the portal on. The other princesses rush at her, but Entrapta runs towards Catra. No. She's running toward Adora. She snatches the sword, and presses a box you can only assume she invented against Adora, forcing her to transform back. Catra hits Adora across the stomach, immobilizing her so she can't chase Entrapta.

You remember the power in your emotions, and you use your magic to heal Adora, giving her a chance to get her sword back. Entrapta reaches the portal, putting the sword into a slot that looks less finished than the rest. They must have had to change it quickly after you left, after Catra found a way to get all of the magic princesses together to power the portal. 

Now that Adora is ok, you find Catra to figure out what just happened. You grab her wrist but she tries to throw you out of her way. You stand your ground, maintaining the physical contact, and try to reach into her mind. Finally, you're able to get a message through: how could you? and she falters. You keep your hold on her wrist as she stops fighting back and reach back into her mind, looking for a memory, and you find one.
