The girls have to rescue their friends, and with the princesses' help, they manage to infiltrate the Fright Zone. 

However the mission goes wrong when they split up.

___________________________

Making it home stung. Our friends. They have been taken by people that we were against. My tears stained my cheeks, and Adora hugs me sideways as we walk home.

"Don't worry, we'll save them. Let's just go inside." My eyes drift to the side. What were we going to do to get them back?

Ripping the dress from my body, I take it it. It was really beautiful. Glimmer really had put a lot of thought into getting it for me. 

My necklace glows some. Meaning a full moon was soon. Hopefully no water tentacles would kidnap me this time...

___________________________

Catra leaves the Sword of Protection with me, and I turn to hear the princess groaning. "Welcome to the Fright Zone Princess..."

She tries to struggle, and I chuckle some when electricity buzzes. There was no way to escape it. Pathetic.

I knew that it won't be long for Adora and her friend to come here to rescue them. Maybe then I'll get a chance to find out what was so interesting about her.

Distressed wasn't enough to describe what the Queen was feeling. "I shouldn't have let her leave. Now the Horde want me to surrender myself to have her back. I might have no choice but to agree..."

My eyes widen. "No. There's no guarantee that they'll mean their word." Adora agrees. "We can't lose you too." She sighs. "A rescue would be too risky, and without She-Ra, it's pointless."

No. I wasn't here just to lose more friends. I almost lost Bella when she was kidnapped by the tentacle during a full moon. There was absolutely no way we were giving up.

We leave the throne room, and I sigh sadly. Hand grabbing my arm, I speak. "We've got to try. We'll get them back. And that's a promise."

Walking back, we're surprised to see the princesses. "What are you guys doing here?" Mermista answers. "We're the Princess Alliance. And the Horde took a friend of ours."

Perfuma speaks up as well. "We're ready for our first mission." Smile appearing on my face, I then turn serious. "Alright then."

___________________________

I was so glad that I wouldn't go through any water there. Finally Mermista opens the door, water seeping all over her. I grimace. "How gross was it?"

"Terrible." I almost cackle, but stop myself. We had to be serious. So no giggles until we go home. 

However stupid Seahawk ran off somewhere, Entrapta too. My face looks ticked off. I felt ticked off. This was going wrong.

Adora and I duck behind a wall, listening to guards walking by. They were saying something.

"-Yeah, one of the princesses got taken in here. We gotta make sure that no-one comes in." Gruff one said. "Great. Is there even a point to this?"

They walk off, and she signals me to follow. 

"That's them, right?" She nods. Eventually we stop by a shut door, hearing buzzing inside. Someone was definitely in there.

Sneakily she opens the door, a red figure standing over... an unconscious figure who looked disheveled. Glimmer! 

"Shadow Weaver! We surrender. Just hand Glimmer over, and I'll do what you want." My eyes tear up, looking over at my friend.

"What-?! Are you crazy?" The figure approaches us, making me back up. Her. "You are right Adora, you will stay here. And I'll erase your mind. Nothing of the Rebellion will be remembered."

Grabbing her wrists, I watched frozen as my other friend yells in pain as she's strapped down. I had to save them now. It was my destiny.

Holding out a hand, I speak. "Stop what you are doing!" Not afraid anymore. That makes her stop, and she turns. Walking over to me, I say warily. "I'm not afraid to hurt you."

"Oh, I don't doubt it. But you're not going anywhere either-" A tentacle stretches in front of me. Water was everywhere.

Her eyes widen in her mask. I say smugly, "You were saying?" I drop my hand, hopping back as the water makes her fall. Coughing, I stand over the weakened woman.

"What? That's impossible-" Glimmer finally yells in pain, waking up. Buzzing electricity around her as she manages to teleport out. She punches Shadow Weaver unconscious, and I speak, "Oof, that's gotta hurt."

Stunned, I watch as she falls to her knees, yelling in pain. "Hold on. Don't move. It'll only hurt." She looks weakly up at me. "Hey- hey. You guys came..."

I hug my best friend, and a groaning Adora makes the hug end. I get up, disconnecting the metal keeping her down. "Adora! Please don't tell me she erased your memories..."

Her eyes open. "Skyelle?" I squeal, hugging her tightly. "Oh- Alright. I'm so glad that you guys are fine." Glimmer weakly walks over to us, and I help her stand.

"We gotta go. She won't stay unconscious for long..." Our eyes drift to the unconscious woman. Why did I feel bad though?

My worried blue eyes take her appearance in. If she didn't try to murder us, I'd definitely be up to making friends with her.

Yet she is a terrible person. Past and present.

"C'mon, let's go." Helping my limping friend walk, Adora taking the other side. We stop in a flashing lit hallway. Then I see her.

Catra. What'd she want now?

"You." She held something out for a stunned Adora to take. It was her sword! "Go. Before I regret doing this." Adora takes it in her hand, transforming.

"For the Honor of Grayskull!" She-Ra was back. Catra then vanishes, making me concerned about where she went.

We dash off, Glimmer's weak body being held close as we jump with She-Ra's help onto a moving vehicle. "C'mere." Grabbing her hand, we get lifted up.

"Bow!" He looks my way. "Skyelle! I thought we'd never see you again!" Hugging my friend, I part from the hug. But why did it feel like we're missing someone-

"Where's Entrapta?" I turn worried. Perfuma speaks up, sounding broken. "She's gone." Tears form from my eyes. We lost a friend. 

I lash out. "Ah! Why can't we stop losing people?" I sob into my knees. Adora hugs me. "I know. But she will be remembered..."

I didn't want to think that she was dead. But what if someone else found her? Then she would be in danger anyways...

___________________________

Making it home, the princesses decide to leave the Rebellion. They said it was for the good. So yeah. That day stung a lot.

I've been in my room for days, crying myself to sleep. If only the girls were here. I needed my mermaid friends in my life.

We were close for so long. Ever since we've found that cave. Then we ended up saving the universe from a 100 year old comet later on.

Glimmer was still trying to hide her glitching from her mom. It still felt bad to lie to someone that thought of me as family. But I understood that she didn't want to worry her mom at all. 

However I knew that she'd find out eventually...
