She-Ra: Redemption

Three's a Crowd

"Entrapta snap out of it! We have to take off her arm!" Hordak says bursting into the testing chamber running to The unconsciously Catra.

"No! We can't she's already fused to it. All we can do is take her to the hospital." Entrapta says

"Me and Catra have a special relationship. It's like and hate relationship. But I know that she's important not just to all the princesses but to Etheria as a whole. I know when you experimenting you get tunnel vision but please next time test dangerous experiments before presenting it Catra." Hordak says carrying Catra

"I...i...sorry. I got too focused on the my experiments again." Entrapta says her expression sullen.

"Who do think you are carrying like some helpless princess Hordak." Catra says squirming out of his embrace standing up. And wiping the blood off her face.

"Yout awake? Why is it that your always getting knocked out by Runestones." Hordak says mockingly

"Shutup you drama Queen I'm fine. Entrapta...I agree you tend to get reckless when it comes to projects that interest you. But just know I completely trust you." Catra says patting her head with a smile.

"i... i... I'll try to do better next time." Entrapta says looking down at the flooor.

"I guess your up Hordak, I'm going to my room I have a killer head ache." Catra says leaving the lab.

Catra walks I'm silence until she reaches her room.

"So I'm guessing your experiment was a success considering I feel another conciousness take root in your mind." Alpha says appearing before her.

"My name is Athena. It would be wise for you to use it." Says a whiteish blue translucent orb.

"It seems your mind has been strengthened enough for us to talk to one another at the same time." Atlas says appearing as a translucent mini Black Garnet.

"My apologies Athena, welcome to wonderful world that is Catra's mind." Alpha says

"Is that sarcasm I sense in your tone Alpha?" Catra says with a smirk as she sits in a meditative position.

"Your alot darker than my previous host." Athena says

"Yeah well Adora was always the optimist." Catra says scoffing.

"What's this? To think you could create a mental Block strong enough to keep us out. How interesting." Atlas says seemingly fascinated

"Oh that yeah get used to it. She has some memories she'd like to keep to herself." Alpha says

"Its curious that your strong enough to stop is from having complete access to your mind and yet it seems your mind is somewhat fragile as well. From the looks of it it was better when my host was here. But as soon as she left it got considerably worse. Then got better and worse again." Athena says

"Athena that's enough." Alpha warns

"What? I'm just stating the obvious dependency issue." Athena says snickering

"She's fine. I wouldn't have accepted her if she was sl fragile." Atlas says

"God having three of you in my head is going suck isn't it. Okay you three turn off I'm going to sleep." Catra says slipping into her tank top and shorts.

Sometime passes before three lights take form in her room.

"So what did you want to discuss Alpha." Atlas says

"Yes it must important considering the secrecy." Athena mused.

"Nothing serect about it. Just request, as strong as Catra may seem she is still only a normal organic life form. Meaning having another A.I. in your head can be stressing at times but add two more conciousness and there's a risk of her breaking. So please keep chatter to a minimum." Alpha says

"I agree even though we have only shared a fragment with her she isn't genetically altered to handle this like a She-ra would." Altas says

"Oh? If she can't handle us then she shouldn't have been greedy and connect with us. I say if she breaks then let her. Besides why should I listen to some outdated A.I." Athen says her tone challenging

"Everything she does is for the protection of Etheria. And if you want to threaten that then I have no problem purging a broken old lady who thinks she's still strong enough to stop me." Alpha says

"Just because that little science freak got access to my surface code doesn't mean I'm not strong enough to erase you." Athena says angrily

"Enough both of you! I think we all agree that Catra breaking would be a detriment to us all. For now Athena we must only speak with her if it's a emergency or she seeks us out on her own." Atlas says

"Hmph whatever goodbye." Athena says flickering before disappearing

"You don't have to worry about her, she's just adjusting to not being as powerful as before." Atlas says

"Yeah well I can really see the effort." Alpha says

"She's been abandoned twice. Both times she's been left alone. She isn't naturally connected to Etheria like we are. We were never really alone since we could talk to one another. But she was all alone during her wait for another she-ra and the one that did come along abandoned her. Leaving her alone yet again, I'm sure you can see why trust is hard for her." Atlas says with sympathy in his voice.

"I...hadn't thought of it like that...ugh fine I'll ease up. But if she endangers Catra I'll destroy her." Alpha says

"Don't worry it won't come to that." Atlas says

"Good, alright enough talk. We should let her mind rest."

Alpha says as they both flicker and fade.

"Oh what's this? Athena is connected to us. But how?"

A voice calls out before women made of glass appears standing before Etheria.

"Hm perhaps there's a need for a family reunion of sorts. What do you think sil?" Her voice echoes out.

Stepping out from the shadows walks in a bright pink glowing women feature less save for the antlers and flowers and vines growing from there body.

"I would love to see everyone again. But it seems that over grown squid is influencing our brother Poseidon. I think we should help him first, it does hurt to see my brother in such pain. Luna you should tell Atlas to have his host to help." Sil says

As sil approaches grass, moss and flower sprout with each step.

"Hm It seems it awakened from it's long slumber when the magic was released. Fine I'll talk to Atlas since you two tend to not get along." Luna says vanishing

"Hmph it's not for the lack of trying! He's just to stubborn." Sil says turning into tree the shrinking into the ground and distant.
