*In the cave*
Adora: Mermista, Spinnerella, and Scorpia are wreaking havoc across Etheria. If we wanna stop Horde Prime, we have to neutralize them and figure out how to free them from their chips.(yelps as Netossa suddenly appears next to her)
Netossa: Leave this to me. I've been keeping track of every Princess' weakness. And I've discerned the best tactical strategy to overpower every one of them. Spinny's weakness is obvious.
Adora: Uh-huh, uh-huh. Real obvious. And, um, ahem, what is it exactly?
Sophia:(she whispers to her) it's her ankle.
Netossa: (sighs) right! Everyone knows she twisted her ankle when she was a kid. If you keep her off balance, her injury will act up on her. Next time we fight, I'll target it, and subdue her and un-chip her and save her and remind her of it every time she tells me it's my turn to clean.
Sophia: She's still going to make you clean.
Netossa: No she won't.
Bow: Right. But could we circle back to your not-at-all-weird-and-very-detailed theories on our weaknesses?
Glimmer: Yeah, not all of us will be as easy as a twisted ankle.
Netossa: Oh, you don't believe me. That's--That's fine. I'll just demonstrate. Entrapta's weakness: tech.(she throws a piece of tech and Entrapta immediately runs after it and crashes)Mermista's: fire. Frosta's: also fire. Adora can't act to save her life. Also, extreme hair-envy with She-Ra.
Glimmer: crippling self-doubt mixed with overwhelming hubris.
Glimmer: Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's, like, really personal compared to fire.
Netossa: Sophia acts without thinking first and is short.
Sophia: (offended) what!? You're short too! And I do not act before thinking!
Netossa:Yes you do, especially if Glimmer,Adora or the cat are in trouble and I am taller than you.
Sophia: just by a couple of inches
Perfuma: Oh, oh, do me. Do me next.
Netossa: Perfuma: fire. And an inability to unleash your full power due to your overwhelming fear of hurting the people you care about.
Perfuma: Some might say that's actually a positive quality.
Netossa: It's not. Bow's weakness...(Bow gasps as She snaps the string on his Bow.)
Bow: You've spent a lot of time thinking about this, huh?
Netossa: Contingency plans are how you win, and I always win.
Catra: Okay, we get it. Princesses are easy to take down. You and your files don't have anything on real threats, like me.(screaming as Netossa squirts Catra with water, then traps her in a net.)
Sophia:(she giggles as she walks over and helps Catra out)I got you.
Adora: We need to stop the chipped Princesses before they hurt anyone else. We've lost track of Spinnerella after Erelandia, but there is good news. We know where Scorpia is. Bow? (clears throat) Uh, Bow?
Bow: Huh? Oh, uh, right. After wreaking havoc on a town along the coast, Scorpia returned to the Fright Zone.
Perfuma: If Scorpia went back to the Fright Zone, that has to mean something. There's probably a part of her that remembers it's her home.
Catra: That pile of junk isn't anyone's home.
Perfuma: Scorpia saved me. She stayed behind so the rest of us could escape the Enchanted Grotto. If anyone can resist Horde Prime's programming, it's Scorpia. Her heart's too strong. She'd never hurt her friends.
Catra: Yeah, she's not great at standing up to authority figures, trust me.
Perfuma: Your negative vibes aren't appreciated here, Catra.
Catra: Look, all that matters is the chip. Going for the back of the neck is how we take out Prime's clones. And the only reason that Adora, you know, saved me and Sophia or whatever, is because the chip got damaged first. That's how we free them.
Perfuma: You think you know how to save Scorpia better than I do? I know all about how you treated her back in the Horde. Things are different now. Scorpia knows the kindness of a true friend. (Catra's eyes widen, then she looks away.)
Perfuma: Hoo. Hmph.
Sophia:(she looks at her and whispers) it's ok, I know you didn't mean to treat her like that.(she hugs her and Catra gives her a small smile)
Adora: Hey, we all want to save Scorpia, so, let's work together to do it. If we make our way through the desert, we can enter the Fright Zone through here. Catra, Melog, we'll need you to cloak us. (Glimmer looks up and spots Bow walking away from the table. Soon after, he stands outside staring at his tracker pad. Glimmer teleports beside him.)
Glimmer: Bow, are you okay?
Bow: Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. (He's tracker pad starts beeping.A light blinks on the pad.)
Glimmer: It's your dads, isn't it? (He frowns.)
Bow: I know they're probably fine. The Library is really well hidden, but I haven't heard from them since we got back.
Glimmer: We should go check on them. I'll teleport us there.
Bow: But, what about the mission? Scorpia and the others are controlled by Prime and your dad might be with them.
Glimmer: Bow, Adora, Sophia and the others can handle Scorpia. This mission is just as important. We have to make sure your dads are safe.
Bow: I'm really worried about them. (Glimmer hugs him.)
Glimmer: Then let's go. Wherever they are, we'll find them. (Bow smiles at her.)
