For The Honor of Grayskull (A Catradora Fanfiction)

15 🐈Catra

"Before we leave this palace, there's somewhere we all need to go. If we really want to find Entrapta, we need to find any clues that we can about where she's got to. Yes Scorpia? " I said, as she raised her hand.

"Can I bring Emily 2.0...you know... She hasn't been out in a while and-" she began to say.

I pinched the bridge of my nose but quickly spoke again when I saw the crestfallen look in Scorpia's eyes.

"Okay, fine, yes," I said. I really hoped that I wouldn't regret agreeing to that. Nevertheless, I knew that I needed to start being a better friend to Scorpia. I wasn't doing this because I wanted to impress Adora or anything, though.

Emily partook in some very tuneful beeping and I knew she was a robot but it kind of looked like she was smiling at me. Either way, it was time for Scorpia, Perfuma and I to make our way back to Entrapta's lab.

Once we arrived, it was apparently question time with Scorpia again. She raised her hand and I couldn't help but smirk, as I gave a roll of my eyes.

"Yes , Scorpia?" I asked her. I really hoped there wasn't going to be too many questions. We had a job to do here! Regardless, I knew that patience was something I needed to work on. Again, this wasn't for Adora, though she probably would have been thrilled that I was trying to be a better person. You know, when she wasn't off leaving me for Glitterow or whatever ridiculous amalgamation she had come up for their names this time around.

"Who's this big gal?" she asked, as she pressed a hand onto Fifi's shoulder. 

I smirked. 

"This is Fifi," I  said, as the robot's eyes began to light up, "She's one of Entrapta's robots," I explained. 

"Catra recognised," the robot said then. 

"Hey," I said. 

"I wonder if she knows all of us!" Scorpia said, then. 

"Scorpia recognised," Fifi said, as her eyes seemed to smile at  the two of us. 

I took a step back for a second. 

"Okay...this thing is borderline creepy," I said. 

"Nah! She's just a big sweetheart!" Perfuma said, as she touched a hand to Fifi's giant metallic hand. 

Fifi turned to her this time around. 

"Perfuma recognised," Fifi said. 

"You really think this thing's creepy when we worked for Hordak at one point?" Scorpia asked me. 

I sighed but I couldn't help but reluctantly recognise the fact that Scorpia had a good point. 

"I mean...I guess I can't really argue with you there," I said. 

The corner of Scorpia's lips twitched up a fraction at that comment. 

"You see? I knew you'd come around," she said. 

I crossed my arms in front of my chest and simply exhaled. 

"Anyway, people, we need to focus," I said. 

Perfuma and Scorpia met gazes for a moment, before they looked back towards me and nodded. 

"Right, right," they said simultaneously. 

"There's a chance that we can find out from Fifi where Entrapta has got to," I explained, "And we can't give up until we find her because...well, because I promised that I would try to be a better friend. That applies to everyone," I said. 

Scorpia's eyes seemed to sparkle then and I could only roll my eyes at her. 

"Ugh," I said. It was almost a growl. "Don't look at me like that," I said.  

"It would make sense to ask Fifi some questions, right? Like...when did she last see Entrapta?" Scorpia suggested. 

I nodded in agreement. 

"Hey, big robot lady," I said. 

Fifi turned to me then. 

"New nickname recognised: Big Robot Lady confirmed," she said. 

I released a gentle laugh. 

"Well, have to hand it to Entrapta, she really does think of the weirdest things," I said. 

"What do you need, Catra?" Fifi inquired, as her eyes flashed with curiosity. By that I mean that they literally flashed. I mean, she was a robot, so I supposed that much made sense. 

"When did you last see Entrapta, Fifi?" I asked her. 

After I had asked that, Fifi went deadly silent and I knew that robots couldn't technically die but hey, I could have been convinced. 

"Come on," I muttered under my breath. 

Perfuma and Scorpia just looked at me with a flicker of sympathy in their eyes. 

"Processing question," Fifi beeped after a few moments. 

"Thank goodness," I said, "The sooner we can find Entrapta, the better. I was supposed to be studying this fall...not off on some quest to find my lavender-haired friend," I added. 

"But we have to find Entrapta! We're her friends...she's a princess, it's just what we have to do," Scorpia said. 

I gave a slight nod of my head, then. I couldn't argue with that. Besides, as much as I may have wanted to give up because Adora had abandoned me, I knew that my stubborn soul was going to see this quest through. 

"I...I'm not sure where Entrapta is," the bot said after a beat. She sounded surprisingly human. 

"I'm going to be honest with you guys...I'm not sure if ex-machina here is going to be a lot of help," I stated. 

Scorpia and Perfuma exchanged glances for a moment and then returned their eyes to me with expressions of determination upon their faces. 

"We have to do this, Catra!" Perfuma told me. 

"Fifi...do you have any clues?" I asked, bordering on mere desperation this time around. If Fifi didn't have a clue where Entrapta was, then that was going to set us back about three steps. That being said, we had to press on and if we couldn't find any clues from Fifi, then we were going to have to work this out by ourselves. 

"I won't give up on Entrapta," Perfuma said. 

"Why? She gave up on us at one point," I said as my eyes motioned towards Scorpia, who simply sighed. 

"Catra..." she said. 

"Alright, alright. Fine," I said. 

"I have reason to believe that Entrapta was taken," Fifi beeped again, after a moment. 

All three pairs of eyes trained on the robot ahead of us, now, with complete curiosity.
