The sky darkened as the black garnet spread the inky cloud of black across the sky above Brightmoon. Everything was becomming shadowed in the darkness that was being spread. The trees wilting, the river becoming black as night. Shimmering blonde hair glowed brightly as She-Ra stood shin-deep in the river that surrounding the kingdom. The runestone becoming dull even with the queen and her daughter trying to protect it. Everything was falling apart as destruction reigned over the rebellion base. The water was becoming darker as blood and inky oil dyed it ebony black. Glimmer was in trouble, her powers still not returned as she kept glitching even at that moment. Her mother was running low on power and the Runestone was becoming duller and duller with each passing moment.

Stunning blue and yellow-green orbs studied the heroine standing in the water as she watched the destruction with sorrowful eyes. Her tail flicking lazily as she jumped down and smirked. "Adorrra...you can't win." She murmured lightly, circling the heroine as she let her fangs poke out of her lips. "Shadow Weaver is most disappointed in you..." Her grin became a bit more lethal if you will.

"We will win Catra!" Adora growled out, as her sword trembled in her grasp. Catra flicked a wrist, glancing at her claws before smirking once more. Her ears flicking back in a slight signal to the tank behind her to fire at the heroine. Adora gasped as she quickly brought up her sword and changed it into a shield, bracing herself as the flare of green energy hit her full-on. Driving her back a few paces before her shield was thrown out of her grip and she was propelled backwards into a solid rock wall. Her vision blurred as she crumpled to her knees and felt about in the water. Long glowing blonde hair falling around her limply as she fought to remain strong.

Adora fought her way to her feet and growled at Catra, rushing forward and grabbing Catra by her uniform. "It's over Catra!" She hissed through gritted teeth. The force captain laughed as she grasped the golden gauntlet holding her in place. "Are you sure?" She asked with a forceful grin as she turned her gaze sideways to show Adora what was happening. The princess gasped and instantly forgot about Catra, rushing forward to stop the destruction upon Brightmoon. What she had seen was tanks and robots firing upon her new home and that in itself caused her to forget about her enemy/friend.

As Adora allowed her attention to be distracted as she scanned around for her shield. Her gaze looking in the water worriedly, a strong whip coiled around her chest and sent waves of green electricity racing through her body. As Adora growled and attempted to fight it off, three other Horde Soldiers approached and sent their own whips around her, bringing the usually strong heroine to her knees in the water. Adora fought and fought, screaming out as she tried to free herself from the bounds around her body. Eventually, pain became too much and her head fell forward slightly, stray strands of golden hair falling over her eyes.

Catra approached the heroine and let a clawed hand drift over her cheek fondly as she let those blue eyes meet her two-toned orbs. "Now, it's over." Her words seemed to be the key as She-Ra's eyes blinked before she gave off a soft groan and fell forward, her body laying limply in the water as she tried to get her vision to cooperate with her. She could just barely see the form of Catra as soldiers approached the force captain. The force captain lightly shook the heroine as the transformation wore off and in the heroine's place lay a rather battered, bruised, and bloody Adora.

"I'm sorry Adora, orders are orders." Catra murmured as she reached down to pick up the girl that laid before her in the water. Her arms gathered the blonde haired girl into her arms as she lifted her up. The blonde hair falling out of it's ponytail and dripping water all over Catra as she glanced to where the Runestone had finally gone dark. "Good work, let's go back to the Fright Zone. We have what we need." Her voice was calm and clear as she strode towards an abandoned Skiff, ordering Scorpia to ride with her and get them back to the fright zone. Shadow Weaver would be most pleased with her.
