SheRa One Shots

Game Changer- Entrapdak

Entrapta and Hordak were again working on their Portal, like they had done it the weeks before. The scientists were close to finishing it this time though. They'd only need SheRa's sword and then they could open a Portal to another World.

However, the closer they got to their goal, the more the both of them noticed that they didn't want Hordak to go and stand back at his Master's side.

Entrapta wanted him to stay with her, unravel more mysteries and do more science with her. Hordak wished to stay at his Lab Partner's Side, helping her with projects, protecting her, taking care of each other. He had never felt this way towards anybody, after all he was a clone, he was not bred for affection or love, but purely for winning wars. Recently he felt something different though.

His Master, Horde Prime, should have been on his Mind the entire time, but these days he noticed: he hardly thought of his Emperor, or at least not positively. He was almost nervous even, and some nights he cursed himself for wishing Prime would never return.

Instead he thought about Entrapta. What would happen if they did not finish the Portal? It had always been his goal, but now, staying with Entrapta was. He had no idea of how it happened, or when it happened, almost like those feelings developed so slowly that he failed to notice them until they were too strong already.

He had changed, undoubtedly. He didn't know when it happened, or what those feelings were, but he did know that he'd rather stay at her Side than at Prime's. If the Emperor knew of this though, and he would, Hordak was sure not only he was in Danger, but also Entrapta. He couldn't risk this. He mustn't open the Portal. He had to protect her; and he would, he swore to himself. He wouldn't lever let Prime get his claws on her.

He watched as Entrapta fixed a few last things on their machine. His Heart ached at her visible sadness, and little did he know he looked the very same, a deep frown on his face since she told him the Portal would be nearly finished. She was standing on her Feet instead of her Hair, which laid flatly against her, almost like normal hair. The sight was so unusual for Hordak- he had never experienced it to just lay flatly against her Back, except when she slept, maybe. Although even there it would sometimes Twitch or curl in on itself.

Her Mask was down and she didn't talk, which was highly alarming. Entrapta always talked, either to him or Emily, or into her recorder. He didn't think the Scientist even knew how to be completely silent for several minutes.

What was that?, Hordak thought. He had no idea what those feelings were, but they kept coming back whenever he saw his Princess. Maybe I am injured?, He thought, but aside from his cloning Problem, there was nothing else causing him pain. Nothing but her. Knowing that he'd have to leave her for Prime, it hurt so much. His Heart clenched painfully and he dreamt about too many possible scenarios when he really should be delighted to return to his former Master.

What if there was an Earthquake that destroyed the portal? Or it didn't work? Or maybe Entrapta tripped and accidentally destroyed a vital part of the Portal with her hair? However, nothing of these fantasies became true.

He had read in Etherian books about it. Love. He did not like the idea of that, but also he could not deny it. It was obvious that the short Princess had him wrapped in her Hair; and he didn't even mind. He had changed sides to be with her. He chose her over his Master. He didn't know exactly why, but it felt right. Maybe it was to protect her, but maybe also so they wouldn't get separated. The thought of it hurt too much.

He then found the laser on his Arm. That would work. With this he could destroy the Portal machine, he decided. "Entrapta? Would you be so kind and get me..", He tried thinking of something he needed, to lure her out of the room, but he found himself only craving her. As long as she was there, nothing else was important. "Your Disk. That game changer. Would you bring it?", He asked, before adding 'please'. She looked at him surprised, but eventually disappeared into a vent go fetch it.
