None of them had patience with us, they didn't have mercy with us, and even less with me. They  tied me with a strong rope and blindfolded me, just for fun they said. Because I'm too strong. I trembled, I shouted, I cried, I asked to have it removed, but they ignored me, they still ignore me, the light was so scarce with the bandage, but the tears kept running down. 

As much as I could feel Adora trying to get near me they wouldn't let her touch me, and that made her angry, many were the screams coming from her, so they shut her up with a bandage, I presumed.

I was tired and I wanted to sleep, but they kept me awake as we walked through the Fright Zone. Scorpia said we would meet Hordak ourselves, and that actually scared me. Suddenly someone pushed me to the floor and I heard many weird noises followed by familiar sound of the sword being thrown. "What? Heh. Didn't expect to see me again?" Catra asked smugly.

"Oh, you have a whip now??" Entrapta, when will you realize...?

"Focus! I got what you needed. This sword is the key to the whole planet." Said Catra, and finally, Scorpia took the bandage from my eyes, letting me look around well enough to know we were deep in the Fright Zone. "I suppose it makes sense. She-Ra's sword is First Ones tech, maybe the most powerful I've ever seen. All this time, this was the key that we needed. I guess I should figure out how it works."

"I brought you everything you need to open a portal and finish the Princesses off for good. What are we waiting for?" Entrapta and who I presumed is Hordak walked away with the sword. Adora and I were chained in the same place, and this time I could feel her tension going away for a few moments as we looked at each other. By the look in her eyes I could see guilt and sadness, frustration, stress.

But our patience was running out as we watched Entrapta getting the sword ready. I couldn't use my powers, they chained my entire hands to some type of electrical metal, if I dared to use it the same torture I was put into by Shadow Weaver would happen again.

"With the sword connected to the portal machine, we should finally be able to bypass the planetary interference. I just have no idea how it works." Entrapta and Hordak looked at us. "Must they be here?" Hordak asked annoyed. "Good question. I'm not sure if we just need the sword or if we need She-Ra, too. You wouldn't happen to know, would you?"

Entrapta pushed Adora's bandage from her mouth. "No. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell the Horde...!" Entrapta pushed up the bandage again. "That's okay. I like figuring stuff out." Adora glanced down and on her own forced the bandage down. "Please, Entrapta, you don't wanna do this."

"Silence!" Shouted Hordak, making me shiver. "Entrapta, begin." Entrapta walked away and I tried to force the bandage down, succeding and coughing a bit as Adora shouted at Hordak. "You... You took me away from my family when I was a baby. You lied to me my whole life, about the Princesses, about Etheria, about who I am."

"I could not have lied to you about who you are. I have never known nor cared about someone as inconsequential as you." So why does he seem to care so much about Entrapta?

"You should care, because I'm the one who's gonna make sure you fail." Adora was provoquing him severely. "I will not fail! You have no power to stop me. I am opening that portal. And I am going to use your own sword to wipe out the rest of your pathetic Rebellion once and for--" Suddenly he fell to the ground, his own armor was failing over him.

Entrapta came to his aid quickly, and I could see in her gestures that she truly cares for him, but it doesn't seem to change him. "Get it to work!" As soon as Hordak left the room, the sword shined and levitated around the room until it balanced itself in the center. 

My eyes widened as I felt strange where I stood, it's like an anthill hanging around my body. What is happening to me?

I gazed at Entrapta, who had turned around not to see her doing, she's waiting for Hordak, maybe we should try to speak with her about this misunderstanding. "You're right... Just look away... I can't!! What's taking Hordak so long?!"
