Founded by their group of friends, Adora & Catra are soon to be taken apart once again to rejoice as sworn enemies...but tides have taken a steep turn before that could happen.

Catra: Tell the Horde and Hordak...their commander, is now dead.

Scorpia: Huh? But...you're still here and alive!

Bow: No, I think what she's saying is-

Adora: She's leaving the Horde?...

The blondie's mouth would slowly carve out into a smile, but Scorpia's face says otherwise. The feline nods her head at Adora's response.

Adora: Then that means...you could join us!

She reaches her hand out towards Catra's shoulder but the feline slaps it away.

Catra: Don't get any sudden ideas now, you forgot that there are three sides to this war. The Horde, The Rebellion...and those who don't care.

The feline gets up on her feet then crosses her arms.

Adora: No, no! That's ridiculous! Those who don't fight are the ones who are endangered during the war!

A clench of anger forms up on Catra's face but soon had transferred to a cheeky smirk.

Catra: Like I've said before...I'm strong enough...enough to handle myself.

Catra turns to face the open forest with a sigh.

Catra: Come Scorpia, we're on our own now. The Horde is no use to us anymore.

Scorpia: But...

The unsure Scorpion twiddles her claws around.

Scorpion: what about the others?

The feline lets out a quick pout then starts to stare at Scorpia.

Catra: Listen, me and you are the plug and the outlet to the Horde. Without us, they have no power. Besides, I bet Lonnie would happily take the role as commander in my place.

Scorpia looks at her with burrowed eyes followed with a faint smile. She nods in agreement of her words.

Scorpia: Alright...then in that case, BESTIE DUO SQUAD FOR LIFE!!!

Catra rolls her eyes in disgust but gives away a small smile afterwards.

Scorpia's Communicator: SCORPIA! WHERE IS CATRA?!

A dark and demanding voice erupts from Scorpia's Horde communicator.

The feline's eyebrow perk up in confusion.

Catra: That's odd, Hordak usually signals me with lectures first.

She looks at her own communicator then realizes the thing is malfunctioned from the water she nearly drowned in.

Catra: Hmph, he couldn't even come up with a way of making them waterproof, typically useless.

Scorpia's Communicator: CATRA! RETURN TO YOUR POST THIS INSTANT...or you will face the consequences of my wrath...

The smirking Scorpion takes off the device then holds it up to her face.

Scorpia: Sorry to inform you big boss, but the Commander is now 'dead'.

Scorpia's Communicator: NONSENSE! If you don't bring her back by this single day, I. Will. Have. Your. Hea-

Scorpia snaps the device into two with little effort, cutting him completely off. The two exchanges a good laugh with each other.
