"Entrapta are you in here?" Hordak says opening the door to her lab.
"Huh? Hordak what are you doing here?" Entrapta says continuing working on her project.
"We were supposed to meet up for lunch." Hordak says setting her lunch by her desk.
"Huh? That's not another couple hours." Entrapta says
"Its already past noon dear." He says tapping his wrist device and a holographic image of the time projects.
Entrapta takes off her bug face mask to see the time. She let's out a sigh.
"Ah no wonder I felt hungry. Sorry Catra had a emergency request and I guess I got lost in my work again." Entrapta says scratching her head.
"Its fine what did she need?" Hordak says sitting next to her.
"Her prosthetic had been acting up. It seems her grip isn't enough. So I'm making her prosthetic fuse to her nervous system." Entrapta says with a sparkle in her eyes
"I would have just left her one armed, perhaps it would humbled her." Hordak says handing Entrapta her tiny food.
Entrapta looks at it and eats from his hand.
"Thanks! That definitely decrease her efficiency but Catra had a interesting idea. Actually I need your help." Entrapta says looking at a flustered Hordak
"Hm? Something is wrong? Your face has changed color. Are sick? No that's not possible your genetic structure is made with the intention of having no weakness. Unless your evolving! Quick tell me everything." Entrapta says using her hair to lift her to Hordak face with a recording device.
"Ah um no I'm not changing...ah nevermind wait is that Adora's runestone?" Hordak says
"Shame, but yes it is! Apparently Adora just left it in the whispering woods! What a waste of precious material! Apparently some old lady had it but our bots managed to take it away. Don't worry she didn't damage the runestone. But I've been thinking what if we combine the runestone with her arm. Ah! The possibilites are endless!" Entrapta says laughing menacingly
Hordak clears his throat and looks at the runestone covered in wires and other equipment.
"Indeed but isn't Adora still connected to the runestone?" Hordak says looking over the data.
"Yes and no, adora severed her connection to the stone to prevent the heart of etheria wiping out life as we know it. But it's still designed only for she-ra. So I've been fiddling with it and I've come to realization that we can't change who can wield it. At least not without further study. So I've decided to trick it!" Entrapta says using her hair to push her to the other side of the lab.
"Huh? Trick it? How- I get it! Your going to hack the runestone so that it thinks it's being wielded by Adora." Hordak says in shock.
"Correct!" Entrapta says fusing it into the palm of the prosthetic.
"Wait wouldn't this interfere with Catra's current connection to the black Garnet?" Hordak says looking at the data.
"You're right theres a chance it will mix together and something might happen! Wouldn't that be wonderful! There's always risk with science. I've decided it's a risk I'm willing to make." Entrapta says
"Ah wait wouldn't that be Catra's decision?" Hordak says
"Huh? what are you talking about, Catra is a women on science she'd definitely agree with me. Watch let's call her in here for some test! Emily go get Catra!" Entrapta says
"I suddenly feel sympathetic towards and yet I feel the urge not to help her." Hordal says grinning.
"You worry to much she'll be fine. Besides if she get hurt I'll just fix her." Entrapta says looking at scrap pile.
"Entrapta you realize she's a person not a machine for you to fix right." Hordak says shaken
"Huh? Of course I know that but thay doesn't mean she can't be both." Entrapta says
"That reminds of that you tried to replace your subordinates machine parts because they said wished they were taller." Hordak says visibly getting chills
"How was I supposed to know they weren't actually serious replacing their legs with robotic ones. Besides they didn't seem to complain when I was taking their measurements." Entrapta says pouting
"Didnt you take them when they were sleeping in their bunk?" Hordak says
"Details details besides they didnt seem to complain after the war." Entrapta says pointing to a picture with her assistant with prosthetic legs.
"That was because they were injured in the war and you decided it was great time to experiment with the new prosthetic limbs you made." Hordak says
"Ah such a wonderful time. Oh look Catra's here." Entrapta says looking at emily nudge Catra through the door.
"Entrapta if you need my attention just use your comm link, having your pet ro- I mean emily come fetch me is weird. Hordak? I thought you were busy working out the plans for the siege of the Crystal palace." Catra says walking into the lab one arm missing.
"Catra! Excellent let the experiment begin!" Entrapta shouts dragging Catra into a testing room.
"Whoa calm down Entrapta. What's going and why is Adora's runestone in my robot arm." Catra says examining the arm as Entrapta runs out of the room.
"Why do I have the sudden feeling that this isn't going to end well for me." Catra says
A speaker comes online and the voice of Entrapta is heard.
"Okay so I've made some modifications...just put the arm on and try using your magic." Entrapta says her voice barley able to contain its excitement
"No questions just do it! Remember it's for science." Entrapta shouts.
Shortly after the intercom stops transmitting
"Entrapta what are the likely possibilities that something will go wrong." Hordak says concern showing in his voice.
"90% chance she just explodes and 10% it'll work. You really can't get any better than these odds
"Entrapta you realize these still the Commander of the Etherian Empire. We still need her alive." Hordak says reminding her.
"Oh...I'm sure she'll be fine."
Ah why do I feel like I going to explode and die....
"Alpha if I so happen to die horribly in the next few seconds please make a copy of your self and save it to the main server. Also have a protocol Genesis activate upon my death." Catra says
"Already done Catra. I hope you find peace in the after life." Alpha says
"Of course you did, well here goes everything." Catra says placing the arm on her shoulder.
Suddenly she feels an intense pain as the arm begins to fuse into her nervous system. Her knees buckle and give out. Tears begin to creep into the corners of her eyes. After a few moments the pain subsides.
"God dammit Entrapta! You could have told me it would hurt!" Catra shouts
"Okay I can move my arm normally, actually its response time is amazing. I can use my lighting normally. I guess it's time to connect my magical energy to the Runestone...great...." carta says
Catra concentrates she feels a connection being made but the more she tries to draw out power the more fleeting it feels. In a effort to catch it Catra reaches out with more power and succeeds in catching the connection. At that moment a explosive force snaps her eyes open as she feels searing pain explode into her body. Catra starts to scream but grits teeth and attempts reach into Runestones mind space. But is rejecting and tries once more and starts to force her way in. But as this happens she starts to cough up blood, her eyes start bleeding, and her ears start to bleed.
"I'm not trying to hurt you! I just want to talk!" Catra shouts blood splattering on the ground.
Seconds later her eyes dull and she collapses to the ground unconscious.
