Hardships

Saving the Cat

Adora's POV:

I drove Darla into Horde Prime's ship, making the alarms go off. "Princess Adora, we are being pulled in by an un-earthly force. Are you sure we should continue?". I nod and say with a smirk, "Yep, we have them exactly where we want them". The alarms turn off and I press the button to open up the door of the bunker. I walk down with my hands up and say, "I heard Prime wants me. I think its about time I say hello to him, dont you think?".  The clones walk up to me, grabbing me by the shoulders.

One of them looks at me blankly and says, "Indeed. Today is your judgement day. You will be presented to Horde Prime and he is to see what the fit judgement is for you... She-Ra". I narrow my eyes as they lift me up, walking me down an unfamiliar corridor. I turn behind me and see that the cloned closed the bunker door. I smirk and face forwards, acting normal will help the plan work. I hear some static in the comm I have in my ear before Bow's voice follows afterwards. "Adora, we're on the ship. Entrapta and I will take out the main server unit. Glimmer try and find Catra". I hear a bit more static before Glimmer says, "I have quite an idea on where Prime couldve kept Catra. I'll bring her to ship safely Adora".I nod and whisper, "Ok, everyone be safe and keep an eye out for anything fishy".

The clones dropped me in front of a huge door before one of them started typing away at a keypad. There was a beep before the door opened revealing a huge room. My eyes widened when they picked me up and walked me over to a throne. There was someone on it but they were turned away from me. Two clones by their side as green liquid rushed into them through some types of tubes. "Welcome.. Adora". My eyes widened when the throne turned around to reveal a smug Horde Prime.

"Horde Prime", I growl through my teeth looking up at the cruel conquerer. He chuckled and crosses his leg over the other and lays his chin on his hand. "Oh, my my didnt your Catra tell you to stay away?". I narrow my eyes and growl, "What did you do to her? Where is she?!". Horde Prime chuckles and says, "And to think, she really thought her cute little stunt would protect you. Its like she said, you are all so very predictable". I struggle against my chains and say roughly, "Listen to me, and listen to me well. Whats going to go down right now is that you'll hand over Catra to me unharmed and we'll leave. Or else I will wipe your whole little fiasco to hell". Horde chuckles softly and says, "Very cute but arent you the so-called good guys? You wouldnt harm an ant if you wanted to".

I growl and watch as he stands up from his throne. "Bring me Catra! Now!", I bark, letting my anger tear down my calm composure. Horde Prime smirks and says, "Of course Sister, brothers!", He motions for his minions to come toward him. They turn me around and I see three figures appearing from the shadows. My eyes widened when I saw a tail. Nonono! Please dont be who I think it is. They all step into the light, taking off their hoods. My eyes filled with tears when I saw Catra. Her eyes were green like Prime's. Her hair was cut short.

"Hello Adora", Catra says in almost a robotic manner. I run towards her before two clones hold me back. I thrash in their arms and bark, "NO! What'd you do to her?!". The clones roughly turn me around so I was facing Horde Prime as Catra made her way up to him. I watched as she bowed down to him. I felt my blood boil watching her bow down to him. Why? God damn it! Why! Horde Prime chuckles and puts a hand on her shoulder and says, "My, this one had been through so much pain. Self-Hatred. Doubt. Guilt. Heartbreak. All because of YOU".

My eyes widen and I look at the mind-washed Catra in front of me. "You think I didnt know you were going to come here? I am HORDE PRIME". Suddenly there was a deafeningly loud sound that went through my ear then a bit of pain. I gasp when I realized he cut off the communication line. Shit. Fuck. Damn. Horde Prime walks down the steps, with Catra by his side. "If you want Catra, you need to trade me She-Ra". I growl and say harshly, "never". He sighs and says, "Very well. I'll give you two some time to catch up". Before he and the clones leave the room leaving me and Catra alone. A clone releases me of my cuffs and I scoff and rub my wrists.
