She-Ra (Catradora)

Chapter 1

After the battle against hoard prime Adora and Catra held up in a tent in one of the medic camps set up to service civilian injuries. Men, women and children covered the camp with various injuries from bruises and cuts to stab wounds. The entire planet was affected by horde prime and this was what was left to show for it. 

"Seize her!" Five of the royal guards rushed into the tent and grabbed Catra. "Hey what are you..." Catra didn't struggle much as she was exhausted from the previous battle. One of the guards stepped forward and spoke. "By the ruling of Queen Glimmer and the high council of Bright Moon, we place you Catra under arrest for your various war crimes against Etheria." The colour drained from Catra's face. "Let her go!" Catra looked to her right to see Adora standing her ground. She blushed. "I'm sorry princess but Catra must face her crimes in court." Adora was filled with rage at this point. "If it wasn't for her Etheria would have been lost and hoard prime would have won. The reason your standing here alive is because of her. Now let her go." The guards shifted with unease, they could see that Adora was serious. "Princess we can't just..." "What's going on here?" The guards stood to attention as Glimmer entered the tent along with Bow. "Queen Glimmer, I was taking Catra to the dungeon." Glimmer so overwhelmed with exhaustion paused for a moment to process the situation. "If it wasn't for her Etheria would have been lost and hoard prime would have won. The reason your standing here alive is because of her. Now let her go." Catra smiled and stuck out her tongue at the two guards holding her as they let her go. "Very well your majesty." The guards left leaving the best friend squad alone in the tent.

Bow just as confused as to what thas just happened "I think we should all get out there and help some more people there is still a lot to do." Glimmer nodding "Right me and bow will take a recognisance team into the forest to retrieve more people in need of medical assistance. Adora can you turn into she-ra and use your healing magic on some people." "I could try but I'm still not sure if I can concentrate it yet." Glimmer continued "Catra you have my blessing take a group of guards and start handing out food and water to civilians." Catra nodded, "got it". Alright, we'll see you guys later and make sure you tend to badly injured and children first then others." With that, they were gone. "I guess it's just you and me hey Ado..." "For the honour of Greyskull!" Adora transformed and headed out of the tent. "Sorry did you say something Catra?" Catra sighed "no, go save the day" Catra gave a week smile and turned to a table at the back of the tent. Adora quickly rushed up behind her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Don't go sulking on me kitty, I'll be back soon." Catra was left alone in the tent with a stupid grin on her face. "She really loves me." "I heard that!" Adora shouted from outside the tent. Catra blushed and ran out of the tent to smack Adora but she ran off knowing full well that that is what she would do.

Catra walked up to a group of guards standing by a tent. "Ahem," the guards looked up "Sparkles... I mean Glimmer told me to gather you guys up to start rationing food and water to the civilians." The guards ignored her and began talking again. "Didn't you hear me we need to start having out foo..." Catra was cut off by one of the guards. "Unless we hear it from the Queen herself were not doing anything for you hoard scum." The guard noticed that Catra was agitated they were trying to get under her skin. "Whatever I don't have time for this." Catra walked towards the tent that held the food rations and water pouches. Catra was still coming to terms with what she had done and what side she had chosen. Years of regret and fear came rushing back. She brushed it off and went into the tent. "Huh, even post-war rations are better than what we had in the hoard." Catra thought that handing out the water first would be a sensible thing to do so she squatted grabbed a crate with both hands and carried the water pouches around the camp. 

The crate was half full. Catra had been working hard to hand out water. Catra came to a woman with a little girl no older than two. Catra handed two bottles to the mother while the girl simply stared at Catra. Catra felt a bit of unease and shifted in place. She turned to leave when the little girl said in a loud voice "KITTY!" Catra turned to a little girl jumping at her hugging her legs. Catra knelt down to meet them at eye level.  The child reached out to grab Catra's ears. They twitched as the little girl touched them. The girl let out a giggle as her hands felt Catra's ears. A smile cracked from Catra's face. Catra handed the girl a water pouch and gave her a gentle pat on the head as she stood to leave.

Catra smiled as she walked away and turned the corner. "So you do have a soft side!" Catra jumped 5 feet in the air. Extending her claws out and landing on all fours. "Ahhh... you almost gave me a heart attack!" Adora was on the floor howling with laughter. "Y-y-you... look s-so cute... w-w-when you're angry." Catra blushed and shoved Adora trying to hide her smile. "Shut up. Aren't you supposed to be She-ra right now?" Adora collected herself a bit. "I finished healing the people who needed immediate medical attention so I came to help you." Catra smiled as she explained what they both needed to do.

A few hours later Glimmer and Bow came back from there recognisance mission with a group of forty people behind them. "Hey, guys how did the mission go." Glimmer looked tired. "It went well, Perfuma is covering the rest of the Wiserring Woods. Have you finished handing out the rations." Catra walked over towards the group. "Yes we finished a while ago, we started to help some of the villagers rebuild their homes in the nearby village." Glimmer smiled at Catra she knows how far she has come to get to this point. "That's amazing. We need to head back to Bright Moon and discuss with the other princesses what the next stage is." The group started to walk off leaving Catra standing there. Adora noticed that Catra wasn't walking with them. She turned and held out her hand. "You coming?" Catra walked forward and smiled. "Sure."

Unbeknownst to them, there was an unease to the order of the universe even though Hoard Prime had been eliminated. On a planet that's name hadn't been spoken for thousands of years. In a fortress almost brought to ruin something was awakening. Hoard prime had kept this force in the darkness for a long, long time but now that Hoard Prime was gone it was crawling into the light.
