The Horde Soldier | Catradora

Your Mess Is Mine

"Remember when I made you ride The Zipper at that one fair we went to?"

Adora deadpanned at the memory. "Yeah, and I remember throwing up everywhere."

Catra sighed, staring at the train tracks. "I really hope this isn't payback."

"And why would I do that?" She pretended to be offended, but there's no actual bite in her words.

"Hey, girls," Adam called out to them. "We were right. Hordak is on the train. Hydra's transporting him as fast as they can. Wherever they need him, they need him quick."

Adora put her crown on, adjusting her strapless suit before it slipped off her body. She's gotta get Micah to fix it because so far, this isn't working. It was fine for the tour, but hopeless in an actual battle. She slinged her arm around Catra's shoulder, leaving them to the edge of the cliff as the train came into view.

She used her sword as a zipline, which is not only dangerous but stupid. But hey, she's known for stupid. She traveled down the power line that would land on the train, and she could see Catra behind her with the corner of her eye.

They landed promptly on the moving vehicle, taking a second to adjust their footing. They had Adam in their ears, so they'd be alerted when they'd have trouble. They trekked to the front of the train where they would go through the emergency exit on the roof.

She ripped it clean off. She tossed the door somewhere in the snow, and both girls jumped down side by side.

What worried her was how empty this place was. Not a single guard in sight. She gripped her sword a little more tightly, moving non-suspiciously in front of Catra to protect the girl from any incoming danger.

It was suspicious. Catra stifled a laugh when she noticed.

Catra held her gun close to her body as they walked down the train cars. Gone was the small moment of laughter. Danger and anxiety has arrived! Not a single guard as Hydra relocates their most important person? It doesn't make sense.

Adora stepped into the next car, but jumped when she heard a door close behind her. She whirled around with wide eyes as Catra got stuck on the other side, a small glass window and a large metal door between them.

"Catra!" She yelled, panicking when Catra began getting shot at. She heard something powering up behind her, and promptly turned around to face a weapon.

The moonstone.

Big blue cube that can fuck up just about anything. She barely had time to duck and cover when the weapon tried firing at her. She jumped behind a couple of boxes. She would have to talk to Micah about some sort of shield. That would've come in handy.

She didn't like that she couldn't see Catra, or that her brother had gone silent in her ear. She didn't like not knowing her surroundings. She had to get back to Catra somehow. She has super strength and durability. Catra... does not.

Maybe it was a little stupid to crouch and duck when she had a giant sword. She charged at the person shooting at her, and the sword bounced the power of the moonstone off. It hit the person back square in the chest, and Adora could hardly tell herself to feel bad. Not with Catra in danger in the next room over.

She grabbed the moonstone weapon and fired it at the door, creating a hole she could now go through. But Catra wasn't in the room. She sprinted to the door across from her, peering through the glass to see Catra hiding behind a stack of boxes.

Adora elbowed the door control panels and opened it, going unnoticed by the shooter. Catra heard the noise and looked up at her, Adora motioning to follow her. But Catra didn't stand up in time, and the shooter saw the extra visitor.
