The dark sky shimmers with muted shades of purple and smaller planets orbit the planet, Etheria. Beyond the flowery meadows of Etheria, a city rises out of a patch of scorched earth and an outcropping of jagged rocks. Raised roadways and ghoulish robotic structures surround the city landscape. A young woman cinches the belt around her waist and dawns a pair of boots. She pulls her hair back in a ponytail and her armband glows. She boxes a punching bag and brushes her teeth. She salutes the mirror.
Adora was warming up, throwing punches at a punching bag, trying to psych herself up for another day of training. She grunts, pretending the punching bag is a princess, and mimics gunfire with her fists.
She leers at a picture of an evil figure on her punching bag.
Adora: Oh, yeah? You think you're so tough, huh? Hey, princess, you looking at me? [Shouts]
She kicks the bag.
She turns around suddenly, only to bump right into Y/N. The sudden collision throws her off balance. Her eyes widen as she looks up at him, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Adora: [Stammering] Oh! Y/N! I, uh, didn't see you there. [Clears throat, trying to regain her composure but clearly flustered] I mean, I was just...you know...practicing. [Awkward laugh]
Y/N: [Smiling shyly] No worries, Adora. I wasn't exactly paying attention either. You're, uh...really giving that bag a workout.
Adora: [Rubbing the back of her neck, still a little flustered] Yeah, well, gotta stay sharp, right? We never know when they're going to throw us into some new combat simulation.
Y/N nodded.
Y/N: True. But, I think you'd win against just about anything they throw at you.
Adora blushed.
Adora: [Blushing slightly and looking away] You really think so? [Coughs, trying to act tough] I mean, yeah! Of course, I would. I'm Adora, after all. The best soldier in the Horde!
She tried to strike a confident pose, but there's a hint of nervousness in her eyes
There's a brief silence as they both glance at each other, a little bashful. Suddenly, the intercom blares, snapping them out of the moment.
Woman over PA: All squadrons, report to training area immediately for evaluation.
Adora: [Sighs, shaking off her flustered expression] Guess that's our cue. Ready to get evaluated...again?
Y/N nodded.
———
Soon after, they takes their place beside 3 more recruits
Adora: [Whispering] Psst. Anyone seen Catra?
Lonnie: [Mumbling]
Adora: [Scoffs, rolling her eyes] Not again. [Sighs]
Suddenly, the sound of deliberate footsteps echoes through the room, and everyone stiffens. The Revenant strides in, his presence cold and unnerving. Y/N instinctively shivers, muttering under his breath as The Revenant, the one he calls "The Scary Man," moves to the front of the room.
