As Catra walks into the command room she notices two things right away. One the leader is alone and two she has four arms and is 14 feet tall.

"I'm kinda let down to be honest, I was expecting a more warm welcome than this." Catra says walking around the room raking her claws across the wall.

"Sorry to disappoint Catra but you see I'm really selfish and don't like to share my prey." The women says her voice arrogant and condescending.

"Prey? Huh well can I ask your name? It's not fair if you know mine but I don't know yours." Catra eyes looking over every detail of her.

13ft tall, purple, four arms, golden armor with a head guard, four golden blades, white hair into a ponytail, four eyes. One would say she looked beautiful at one point but the scars across her face changed all of that.

"Name? Oh yes you can call me Queen Ariel. Although I think its redundant since you'll be dead soon." She says smirking

"Queen Ariel I'll be sure to remember that name." Catra says smiling

Catra sprints towards Ariel. Ariel takes out one of her blades and throws it at Catra. Catra easily dodges the blade and counters with a claw strike the chest. But once it connected the claw marks merely scratch the surface. Shocked and caught off guard Catra is punched in face, catra feeling the impact but twist her body with the punch to kill the momentum. As she twists her body she kicks Ariel twice and backs up to create distance.

Catra wipes the blood from her mouth.

"I'm surprised, your claws were actually able to scratch my Black Gold armor. Not only were you able to scratch it but your claws are intact as well. Is it a Species trait? Or are you one of a kind?" Ariel says fascinated

"I really wouldn't know!" Catra says using her power her speed increases.

She jets past Ariel, she quickly infuses her claws with electricity. She focuses the power to the tips of her fingers and attempts to pierce her backside. But when she makes contact she penetrates the armor but only half way. Catra surprised yet again attempts to back away but is caught by Ariel's back hand. Catra is sent tumbling back, she tries to get back up but when she looks up Ariel is there bringing down one of her blades.
Catra dodges out of the way but the blade sti manages to slice down her back. Catra screams but using her power she starts doing hit and run attacks against Ariel.
Ariel takes out her other blades and starts twirling them at her sides. Blocking Catra from attacking from the left and right. Catra tries to attack again but this time Ariel ready and bring down a preemptive strike, Catra mid attack uses her dark magic to appear in Ariel's shadow and she attacks the same place she penetrated before.

The armor cracks and Ariel roars in pain. Catra leaps off her back and leaps over Ariels head. As she does Catra claws out two of Ariels eyes. Ariels now realizing the danger she's in swings but only manages to hit Catra with her arm. But its enough, Catra  coughs up blood as she hits the wall. The wall itself cracking behind her.

She didn't hit me directly but the momentum of her swing broke three of my ribs. She's a god damn monster! I can take one maybe two more hits directly before I die. If I can't beat her one on one how about I mix it up a little.

Ariel's face contorts in as her eyes regenerate. She glares at Catra who starts her hit and run attacks again. A claw to the eyes here, a stab through the hole in the armor there. Until Ariel shouts out "Enough! I'm tired of these games!"

"Me to." Catra says placing her hands on the floor.

A large dark magic circle appears beneath them. As Catra places her hand down she shouts (multi shadow clone jutsu! Kidding)
"Let's see how much you can handle!"

Black sludge seeps from the floor and begins forming one after another 20 identical Catra's. They all smirk and charge in, Ariel blocks some attacks but is overwhelmed by their numbers. Attack after attack, her regeneration keeping up with each strike. She angrily yells and instead of blocking she pushes through and goes on the offensive.

She gave up on the defense... that's fine I just need her regeneration to wear off.

With Ariel going on the offensive the clones are being eliminated one by one. Each time they return to black sludge. When their numbers reach 12 Catra calls them back. With her clones surrounding her Catra stares at Ariel,Who is shaking with rage.

Do they go into a rampage when they get to angry? Or is it just her...I could use this..

"Come on are you really Queen of the Argoians? Your foot soldiers fought better than this." All the Catras say.

Veins of anger pulse and she throws one of her wepaons as the Catras charge forward. One of the Catra as jump in front of the blade killing its momentum. Another picks it up and throws it, as the clones of Catra throw the real one up into the air. Seeing one her clones through the blade to Catra, she calls out to another clone to boost herself off of. As she throws herself to Ariel she takes the blade in hand raises above her head and prepares to plunge it down into Ariels Chest. Ariel takes her remaining two blades and prepares to counter but is stopped, she looks to her arms and sees the remaining Catra's holding each of her arms. Of course with her strength it doesn't take much to pull herself free. But it took just enough time for her not to properly aim her strike.

As Catra Kicks off her clone to propel herself to Ariel she uses her power to increase her speed and attack power. Her eyes crackle with red lighting and she plunges the blade into Ariels chest. As she does Ariel thrusts her blade to Catra. In an instant Catra tumbles back hitting her back to the wall cracking it behind her. Ariel eyes wide looks at her chest to see her own blade used against her. She attempts to take it out but she feels something restrict her. Looking down she sees a magic circle and dark shadow like substance grapple her. The other Catras turn to sludge on her. She struggles but turns her head to face Catra and smiles.

"You...may have...me restrained for now...but at least I got you too." Ariel says coughing up blood.

Catra face contorts as she stands up leaving one arm behind. The blood starts oozing from her wound. She grits her teeth and using her power caturazes the wound.
Catra starts to feel light headed but manages to stagger towards Ariel.

"You'll never kill me in that state." Ariel says mockingly

"Kill you? I've never wanted to kill you. Right now the poison I drenched my claws into should be taking affect. I've learned from my last fight with you monsters that it takes quite a bit of it to be of any use." Catra says looking into her eyes

"What!? You coward...you...bi...." Ariel says before going unconscious.

"Now then how should I restrain you?" Catra says
