Crimson Blood

Chapter 22

Entrapa's POV:
The green piece of the first one's tech was still sitting back in a corner of the lab while Hordak and I made bots that can reconstruct to attack the Rebellion.

Hordak took them out and let them out into the wild, directed at the Whispering Woods.

"We need a real plan," Hordak grunted in frustration, "These bots won't keep them at bay forever,"

"Well, statistically speaking, they technically could with the right trajectory angle, it really depends on the indestructibility of the bots and the reliability of its motherboard. Of course, the princesses all have their weaknesses while the bots are not very prone to inefficiencies," I explained.

"Of course" Hordak affirmed before grabbing a six-sided screwdriver.

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Imp scurried down and kicked Hordak in the foot.

Hordak plucked Imp off of him and gave me a nervous expression before carrying on with tinkering with the bots.

"Come on! Let's go watch the footage!" I piped up, as I wrapped my arm around Hordak to lead him to the screen.

"I- We really must work on-" Hordak stuttered as his cheeks flushed a rosemary pink color.

'It seems that living beings have this pink/red shade on their face when flustered or embarrassed,' I noted, finally having seen this circumstance happen enough times to call it reliable.

Catra's POV:

"Scorpia, take these over and load them in," I ordered, before glancing back down at the screen.

I was about to sit on one of the large crates in the room before I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Catra," Scorpia said, approaching me with a big smile.

"How are you back so fast?" I asked, looking around to see whether anything was off.

"Wanted to spend more time with you," she hummed happily before almost walking past me. I grasped her claws and quickly pinned her to the wall with a spin, as I glared at her eyes and growled.

"What kind of game are you playing?!" I snarled up in her face before I heard another set of footsteps approaching.

"Hey, Catra- I wasn't sure whether you had wanted me to load the- who's this? Woah! I've always had this feeling that there was just someone out there who understood! Aw, who am I kidding? Hordak probably cloned me, I did sign a lot of paperwork at one point," Scorpia rambled before putting a pincer up to her chin in thought.

I glared at her and gave her a signal to shut up as she stepped back with her claws up and I directed my attention back to the other one.

"Who are you?!" I yelled in their face before their mask came down but instead of revealing their true identity, I saw my own worst enemy smirking. Me

"I'm Double Trouble and I'm about to be your new best friend," they explained as I swiveled around and tightened handcuffs around their wrists.

They scoffed, offended before looking back at me, "So this is what you look like?" I asked.

"More or less, of course, we all wear a disguise," they said with pizzazz.

They swiveled the handcuffs around the gaps in their fingers with ease as if it was a pencil and they didn't know what to write.

"How did you do that?" I asked, surprised.

"Let's just say, I have a knack for getting out of tight spots," they smirked, looking at me with a smug expression on their face.

"So you can like, change?" I asked, eyeing them.

"Ugh, what I do is so much more than changing," they scoffed before adding, "I prefer to call it, to transform!" they exclaimed, dramatically jumping down from the crate.

"The Horde could use someone like you," I smirked when tons of bright ideas came into my mind.

Shera's POV:

"The bots can regenerate!" I called out as I stuck my sword through the center of the bot's eyes before little pieces of glitches started stacking up onto each other to reform it.

"Ugh, this has been going on forever!" Mermista groaned, before going back to drowning out 5 bots with a tsunami.

"ARGH!" Frosta yelled out excitedly as her ice fist went directly into the bot's motherboard.

"The motherboard can regenerate too?!" she squealed out with shock.

"You gotta be kidding me," I groaned in exasperation before continuing to stick my sword into the bot's metal arm.

"Can this just be over already? I've already taken out like 17 of them," Mermista sighed in irritation.

"Well I've beaten 19 of them, but who's counting?" Netossa swung by confidently before tossing a net out of her hand with the perfect aim to capture the bot.

"Yes darling, you're amazing," Spinnerella sighed before spinning as fast as she could to make a tornado.

Spinnerella dropped down onto her feet in a lunging stance before continuing her way to the other bots.

"You know, there aren't even like 20 bots here, the bots you defeated probably just regenerated," I put in while Spinnerella smiled at me happily.

"Doesn't change the fact that I took a bot down 20 times," Netossa said with confidence.

"Now you're just twisting your words," Spinnerella smirked.

"Yeah whatever, I'm gonna go get that stray one that went over there," I said before running after the bot that had gone farther into the woods.

"Come out come out wherever you are," I hummed, shoving the vines out of my way, Struggles of being tall I guess.

The bot swung me aside with its arms and I landed on the grass with a thud.

"Are you serious?" I groaned, before standing up and brushing the dirt off of my legs.

"Come get me!" I challenged, narrowing my eyes at the bot. Oh wait, you don't know what a challenge is, guess I'll have to be more direct

I swung my sword into the motherboard of the bot and while it was regenerating, I quickly made a rope with a blade at the end to strike right through the main circuits as the bot shook. It gave one last quiver before slamming into the ground.

"And that's how it's done," I smirked, before transforming back into Adora but then I heard footsteps approaching me and I quickly clutched the sword to transform back.

"Hey Adora, miss me?" Catra smirked, looking me dead in the eye with a serious and playful expression that I couldn't read.
