"Episode" 15: Battle for the Universe Part 2: Guardians
The battle in Etheria kept going on. In Brightmoon, She-Ra, Catra, Glimmer, Bow, and Teela kept fighting against the robots while Kuljat kept fighting the Juggernaut. She-Ra looked at the battle that was going on before she went to keep attacking. "We have to keep attacking! Try to push forward!" Bow shouted before he kept firing his arrows. Glimmer went to fire more projectiles at the robots before she kept attacking with her staff. Everyone kept attacking until all the robots were gone as of right now. Kuljat and the Juggernaut kept fighting before the Juggernaut punched Kuljat in the face. Kuljat was sent flying to the wall before he fell down. The Juggernaut then looked at She-Ra and then went to get ready to attack. She-Ra got in a position before she went to attack. She-Ra and The Juggernaut both attacked each other, clashing each other. Glimmer, Bow, and Catra helped out She-Ra, while Teela went to help out Kuljat.
"That Juggernaut... it's like it can understand everything we're doing!" Teela said before she tried to help up Kuljat. The fight kept going on all over Etheria, while Azdar watched The Juggernaut and She-Ra fighting. He then looked and saw all the villagers around Etheria fighting against the First Ones before he looked at the guards and robots that were with him.
"The villagers even rebel against us... First Ones... keep fighting! We must make sure that we are victorious against them!" Azdar said before he kept watching. Some of the guards and robots left to join the fight, while the rest, including the Four Juggernauts, kept watching. The battle kept going on as everyone was still fighting.
Meanwhile in The Gem Caverns, the bandit leader was fighting Onyx and Calzon, and was losing horribly. Calzon was clashing his armblade with the leader's sword. The two kept clashing swords before the leader punched Calzon in the guts. He then threw him back to the miners. Onyx looked at the bandit leader before he clashed with him, clashing his gauntlets with the leader's blades. The two kept clashing before the leader knocked Onyx down and then looked at a Juggernaut that arrived from the sea. He smirked before he pointed to the villagers for the Juggernaut to attack. The Juggernaut responded by simply walking to the villagers, getting ready to attack with its armblade and its cannon attached to its wrist.
In the Kingdom of Snow, Frosta, Nnjarak, and a few First Ones were attacking the Beastmen that arrived, each attacking them and knocking The Beastmen out. Some of the Beastmen were still standing, while one of them, their leader, stood in front of Nnjarak before he roared at him. Nnjarak got ready to fight their leader, before he looked and saw Frosta bringing out her ice armor using her suit's feature. "Frosta, what are you doing?!" Nnjarak said to her before he looked at their leader. Frosta looked at the leader and then cracked the knuckles on her ice armor, getting ready to fight it.
"I'll handle their leader... you deal with the rest of these... things!" Frosta said before she screamed and ran to their leader. The beastmen's leader ran to Frosta, getting ready to attack her. The two clashed with each other, punching each other before Frosta brought out a sword made out of ice, and then slashed the Beastmen Leader, giving it a scar on its arm. The Beastmen Leader went to attack Frosta by slashing her armor, before it was punched by her before she went to kick it. Nnjarak went to attack the rest of the Beastmen before setting his sights on The Beastmen Leader that was fighting Frosta. He and Frosta then looked at each other before they went to attack the Beastmen leader, who roared and went to attack them with nothing but it's bare hands.
Meanwhile in Salineas, Mermista and Sea Hawk were both fighting against the First Ones that passed their gates. Mermista twirled her trident and kept hitting a few robots while Sea Hawk kept slashing them with his rapier. "Now this is an adventure! It will be better with a shanty! Oh-" Before he would finish, everyone looked at him before Mermista groaned
"Sea Hawk... now isn't a good time for a shanty! Besides... rock would be better" Mermista smirked before she destroyed a few robots with her magic. Sea Hawk pouted before he went to attack more. The rest of the guards and First Ones kept attacking before most of the robots were destroyed, only leaving a few to remain. Mermista then saw the bandits were at the Gem Caverns before she gasped. "We have to help them! You all keep fighting, me and Sea Hawk will go to the caverns!" She said before she jumped and her legs turned into a tail, jumping into the water and swimming as fast as she can to the Gem Caverns.
Meanwhile in Mystacor, Micah and Castaspella were fighting against the rest of the robots, while Deiyoz was tending to some of the injured sorcerers. The only robots that were remaining were the Juggernauts, and one robot that carried a staff and was wearing armor similar to Deiyoz's armor. He and Deiyoz went to clash while Micah and Castaspella were both tending to some of the injured, before Micah looked at Deiyoz fighting the sorcerer robot. "Cast... I'm going to help Deiyoz. You take these injured sorcerers to the Lunarium!" Micah said before he brought out his staff and went to fight the sorcerer robot with Deiyoz. Castaspella watched before she went to take them to the Lunarium, before she went to contact Glimmer.
"You're Majesty, your father and Deiyoz are fighting against a robot that can cast magic... and Juggernauts that are with him. We need more back up!" Castaspella said before she went to treat the injured. Glimmer didn't know what to do before she looked at a few First Ones while she was fighting The Juggernaut. She then jumped back and then responded to Castaspella.
"I'll send some First Ones to help you! Just be sure to hold them off for as long as you can!" Glimmer said before she went to keep fighting. Castaspella looked at the injured sorcerers before she went to help out. Meanwhile in The Fright Zone, Azdar saw that mostly everyone was defeated, before he looked at the ones with him, signaling them to go while the Juggernauts stayed with him.
"Lord Xyphak... the villagers even rebel against us. What is the plan for them my lord?" Azdar said while he watched the monitors. Xyphak looked at Azdar from a hologram before he looked at the monitors. As they looked, they saw that mostly every robot was gone, and the only ones remaining were the Juggernauts, the bandits, the Beastmen, and the Snakemen. Xyphak then pressed a button on his chest, opening a huge portal in The Fright Zone. More robots appeared at The Fright Zone, and then all marched to the kingdoms.
"If the villagers resist... then they serve no purpose of being free... make sure that they are under your control... have them come to Eternia once they are under your control... strip them of their freedom" Xyphak said before he disappeared. Azdar smiled before he saw the robots Xyphak send had a chip on their hands, so they would attack it to anyone that they see
"First Ones... keep attacking. And make sure that any that is chipped, is ready for me to take control..." Azdar said before he kept watching the fights that are going on. The Juggernauts looked down before they looked at the monitors. The robots sent by Xyphak went to various kingdoms and got ready to attack, while everyone else was attacking the remaining robots that were still active.
"Entrapta! You better have some good news for us!" Catra said before she kept fighting the Juggernaut. Entrapta meanwhile, was working on the robots with Hordak and Wrong Hordak helping her out. Entrapta managed to have one of the robots activate with their eyes turning pink, making Entrapta smile very wide and get excited
"Success! A First Ones robot is now on our side!" Entrapta said before she gave Hordak a hug, with Wrong Hordak hugging her too. "We will just need to get the others activated... which will take hours!" Entrapta said, making everyone groan while they were fighting. After seeing the robot activate, she then heard giant footsteps and saw Ordoz enter with Ordi and Orthos entering after him as well. "Ah! Arden's robots... what brings you three here during this big war?!"
"We may be able to help... but it will result in one of us shutting down" Orthos said before he looked at all the other robots that weren't activated. The three looked at the shutdown robots before they all looked at Entrapta. Entrapta didn't know what they meant until she suddenly gasped.
"You mean... one of you will..." Entrapta said before she looked at the shutdown robots. She then started to tear up, after hearing what they said. One of the bots nodded while the other looked at the shutdown robots more.
"I will do it, it's so I can be able to rest while the others keep moving on" Ordi said before he walked up to the robots and then plugged himself in to the power cord. Entrapta, Hordak, Wrong Hordak, Orthos, and Ordoz looked at Ordi plugging himself in, before Orthos walked forward and then saluted to him.
"Ordi, you will be able to rest finally... the rest of us... gotta be part of this war" Orthos said, before he grabbed the handle of the switch, and then got ready to flip it down. Ordi nodded, before Orthos went to flip the switch, turning the other robots on, before they all saw Ordi shut down. Entrapta sniffed before she wiped her tears and saw the robots glowing pink before she smiled.
"Ordi's sacrifice has awakened all the robots! They're now on our side!" Entrapta said to them before she heard an explosion. Hordak went to check to see what it was, before he saw an entire robot army marching to Dryll.
"Entrapta! There's an even bigger army marching to Dryll! We need to act now!" Hordak said before he got his weapons ready. Entrapta looked at Orthos and Ordoz before she went to get the robots ready. All four then went to fight the robots while Entrapta was working on controlling the robots.
Meanwhile back in Brightmoon, everyone who was there defeated all the robots except for The Juggernaut, before they all saw that more robots were coming. She-Ra gasped by the total amount of robots that there were now, before she got ready to fight them. Everyone else got ready while Teela and Kuljat looked at the army. "That's Xyphak's elite army... he sent them to finish the job..." Kuljat said before he tried to get up.
"Kuljat you need to rest... we can handle this" Teela said before she got her weapon out. Kuljat looked at her before he looked at the army, before he tried to get up more. Teela looked at him before she went to go fight with the others. Everyone was now fighting against Xyphak's elite army, with Kuljat just watching before he tried to get up more.
Meanwhile in the Gem Caverns, Onyx was fighting the Bandit Leader, while Calzon was helping out with the villagers before he saw Onyx fighting their leader. The leader kept slicing and clashing with Onyx, while he drew out a sword and kept fighting against the leader. The Juggernaut on the other hand was marching towards the villagers, before it was stopped by Skyla. Onyx looked and saw Skyla was about to be attacked, before he gasped and then brought out a sword. "NO!" He shouted before he ran towards The Juggernaut. The Juggernaut was ready to attack her by bringing out a gauntlet, before it suddenly attacked Onyx, taking the hit instead of Skyla, before he was sent flying to a wall. Skyla gasped and then looked at where Onyx was before she looked at The Juggernaut, just standing there and watching what happened.
"ONYX!" Skyla shouted before she ran to where he was. Onyx was laying at the ground before he slowly looked up at Skyla. "Onyx... why did you do that?!" She said in tears before hugging Onyx. Onyx looked at her hugging him before he placed his hand on her back.
"Skyla... I didn't want to see you get hurt... someone had to save you..." Onyx said before he put his gauntlets away and then attaching them to her. "I think... it's time I retired and gave the leadership to... you" He said before he slowly got up onto his knees. "Skyla... can you do that for me...?"
"Yes... of course..." Skyla said in tears before she got up. She ripped her hair tie, letting her hair down before she looked at The Juggernaut with a furious look on her face, before she charged up the gauntlets. "You made my boyfriend badly injured... now you will regret doing that!" She shouted before she screamed and fought The Juggernaut.
Meanwhile in the Crimson Waste, Huntara and Bloodshot were fighting against the Snakemen, with help from most of the residents of the waste, Double Trouble, Lonnie, Kyle, and Rogelio with the imp on his chest. Huntara looked at all the Snakemen that was there before she went to knock out a few. Bloodshot shot a few before he looked at Huntara. "These bullets aren't real. Just darts that'll knock them out!" He said to her before he kept shooting. Huntara kept fighting alongside the others before they saw the leader of the Snakemen. Huntara was ready to fight against him, before her eyes opened very widely, seeing Tung Lashor beside him.
"Tung Lashor you traitor... why would you side with them?!" Huntara said before she strongly gripped her weapon, getting ready to fight not only the leader, but also the traitor, Tung evilly before he brought out his new whip after his old one was stolen by Catra years ago.
"You see, Huntara... you've gone soft with the new rebel soldiers, and after seeing these Snakemen, I decided to join them... once we take over the Crimson Waste, it will be us that will be the strongest! Don't you forget it!" Tung Lashor said as he laughed and then looked at his new leader.
"Sorry... I already forgot it" Bloodshot said before he then pointed his blaster at them. Kyle snorted from Bloodshot's comment before he screamed and went back to fighting the Snakemen and robots.
"You already forget... I'm the strongest in the Crimson Waste! And now, you will forget ever stepping on this land!" Huntara shouted before she went to attack both Tung Lashor and the Snakemen Leader with Bloodshot helping her.
Meanwhile in the Fright Zone, Azdar was watching the fight happen more, as Xyphak's Elite Robots were now fighting against The Rebellion. Some of the robots were defeated while most kept moving forward and attacking. He smirked and then looked at the Juggernauts, before seeing everyone but them were gone. "It seems they have been called to attack... now that we have the element of surprise, with these Elite Robots... now we have gained the advantage, and will now be able to control all the villagers, thanks to the mind chips... keep attacking!"
"Warchief... all the Beastmen and Bandits have been defeated. The Snakemen are the only ones that are still strong, but... I fear it may not be enough. We may need to retreat" One of The Juggernauts said to him. Azdar looked at The Juggernaut, before he looked back at the screen.
"No... we are almost at victory... I will not retreat. I have never retreated in battle, and never will! We keep moving forward!" Azdar said before he kept watching. The Juggernauts look at each other before they all kept watching again, seeing Azdar was furious because of the thought of retreat, before he saw the villagers rebelling against the Elite Robots. "First Ones... it seems that they resist being chipped... and it seems that we are running out of time, because of the Core activating in six hours..." Suddenly, Xyphak appeared as a hologram and then looked at the fights happening.
"The Core will be activating soon, and yet they rebel against us... it seems we have no other options... show no mercy..." He said to Azdar before the hologram disappeared. Azdar looked at the monitors before he snarled and then saw the button beside him that the guard pressed before.
"First Ones... destroy them all..." He said as he smashed the button, destroying it before he looked at the monitors. All the robots that were given the order then had their eyes and visors start glowing red, before they all brought out their weapons and got ready to follow orders. All the robots then charged towards the villagers and princesses and the Rebellion members, getting ready to attack while them as they were ready to defend themselves and fought back.
Meanwhile in Brightmoon, everyone was attacking but was getting outnumbered by them. She-Ra saw everyone was getting outmatched by them, all surrounding them before some of the robots surrounded her. She went to attack them before seeing her friends were getting attacked before each Juggernaut that was in Brightmoon grabbed them except for She-Ra. A Juggernaut with a screen on its chest turned on and revealed Xyphak before it grabbed her by the upper part of, She-Ra's outfit.
"It did not have to be this way... your friends could have lived... and so would everyone else... and yet you rebel against us... all of you... Now, you all are nothing to us... and so you... must be erased. Beginning, with your friends..." Xyphak said before the screen turned off. The Juggernaut brought out its armblade before it walked over to Kuljat, beginning the erasing with him. She-Ra gasped and tried to stop it, before she was knocked down by some of The Juggernauts. She-Ra turned back to Adora and then was held by them. She looked at everyone before she tears up and then looked down.
"We're too late... we failed..." Adora said before she started to cry. Everyone looked at her with worried and scared looks, before they saw Catra was still fighting. She ran over to Adora and then tried to attack The Juggernauts holding her, before she was held too by the same one that was holding Adora. "Catra..."
"Adora... we can't give up! We've never given up on anything... we can't give up on this!" Catra said to her before she tried to hold her hand. Adora did the same thing, before she then heard Yzahk's voice.
"Oh no... this won't do at all!" He spoke. Adora heard his voice in the comms before she looked around to see where he was. Everyone else that had the comms heard his voice as well. "I didn't join the Rebellion to see you all just give up... I joined because I have a perfect plan... and I'm not gonna just see you all depressed and defeated"
"What can we do... there's too many of them... we can't defeat them all..." Adora said, her voice cracking up as she was still crying. Yzahk sighed and then passed the mic over to a figure with crystals all over his body.
"Maybe... we can. If we fight together" The figure said. Adora's eyes opened and she knew who the voice was. "You inspired all of us to fight the Horde... now it's time we fight against The First Ones... and we need you, to lead us. Every planet... is helping Etheria win this war... including us" The figure revealed himself to be Jewelstar. Tallstar and Starla who had Glory on her shoulders.
"What... what did you do? What is this?" Adora said before she looked up, seeing the clouds going away and revealing the sky. Everyone saw this as well, everyone all around Etheria saw the sky. Adora and Catra looked at each other before they saw the Juggernauts shut down, and then turn back on with their eyes glowing pink.
"I'm saying... the cavalry has arrived!" Yzahk said as he then laughed, recently hacking the robots that were in Brightmoon before he looked at the rest of the fight that was happening all over Etheria. "You all ready to fight as official members of the Rebellion?" He said to the Star Siblings, before getting his weapon out
"Let's go kick some First Ones butt" Starla said before she brought out her boomerang. Tallstar got her new mechanical arms and legs ready while Jewelstar got his weapons ready. Yzahk smirked and then opened various portals, revealing armies from various planets in the universe. One of the people from the planets blew a horn that echoed all over Etheria, making everyone hear it. As soon as everyone heard it, they saw the portals open and armies coming out to help out The Rebellion. Every princess and rebel soldier were fighting with them, pushing the First Ones back as well as defeating the Elite Robots.
The Snakemen in the Crimson Waste were all defeated, while Huntara and Bloodshot were still fighting Tung Lashor and the Snakemen Leader, before he was defeated by Huntara. Tung Lashor managed to hit Bloodshot with his whip, before he was knocked out by Huntara. Double Trouble whistled and then clapped. "Wow, marvelous performance there, darling. But do you think you can do that with the rest of them?" They said to her before they went to keep fighting. Huntara smirked before she went to fight alongside the others from both the Waste, and the portal that was in the Crimson Waste.
The Beastmen were all defeated in the Kingdom of Snow, with their leader being frozen in ice thanks to Frosta, while the bandits in the Gem Caverns all surrendered while theie leader was thrown into the ocean by Mermista. They all saw the armies arriving from the portals before they all cheered.
Meanwhile in the Fright Zone, Azdar saw their entire army increase before he snarled. "How is this possible?!" He shouted before one of the Juggernauts walked forward and pointed to the monitor.
"Warchief... their army has increased. Thousands of men, women, and more, from many planets... they have arrived and joined The Rebellion" The Juggernaut said before it stepped back. Azdar was furious with the sudden change, before Xyphak appeared as a hologram again. He ordered the Juggernauts to return to Eternia, along with the horn they had, before he looked at Azdar.
"Warchief... you must come back to Eternia" He said to him. Hearing him saying those words, made him think he was a coward before looking at him.
"I will never retreat! I am no coward!" Azdar shouted before his mouth was silenced by him. Xyphak looked down before he looked at the monitor, seeing everyone was celebrating while the remaining Elite Robots were running away back to the portals, they appeared in. As soon as everyone went in, Azdar was the only one that was in Etheria before he looked at Xyphak.
"You will return to Eternia... or you will fall, as all will when the Core is activated... you will lead the rest of my army to battle... and you will win... no matter what" Xyphak said to Azdar before he opened a portal for him and then disappeared. Azdar looked at the portal before he growled, walking away as he went into Eternia, leaving only the Rebellion and their new allies. As soon as everyone returned to Eternia, Azdar immediately went in front of the army and drew out his war hammer and axe and then looked at everyone that was behind him. The sky was covered in clouds while red lightning sparked all over the clouds, rain fell down as Eternia was now in a storm as the final battle was near.
"We will destroy everyone that stands in our way... and we will win... everyone attack!" Everyone cheered before they all marched while Azdar followed, everyone walked forward to a giant portal that opened, revealing the Crimson Waste.
Meanwhile in the Crimson Waste, every resident there saw the portal open before Huntara contacted Adora. "Adora! A massive portal has opened... and I fear that there is more coming..."
"What? How much more?" Adora said as she and everyone else then ran to the Crimson Waste. Everyone who heard this went to follow as well. As everyone arrived in Etheria, they saw that everyone was there. Over a thousand people were all looking at the portal, before Adora looked at them. "There's so many of them... we may have an advantage..."
"Do not get your hopes up, Adora... the rest of Xyphak's army is all but Elites and Juggernauts... we may not be able to defeat them, but... maybe with the Guardians..." Deiyoz said as he saw the portal. Adora thought of the guardians before she nodded. She then raised her sword up and then took a deep breath.
"Guardians of Grayskull! I call to you to aid us in this last battle... help us, and then rest after our victory... For the honor of Grayskull!" Adora shouted before she transformed into, She-Ra. The four Guardians appeared behind her, all raising their weapons before she turned around. "This is it... they took the fight to us... and now we take the fight to them... we must defeat the First Ones, and save the universe... we're going to win... it's time to stop Xyphak, once and for all! Bow... give them a surprise" She-Ra smirked before Bow stepped forward and brought out his bow and arrow. He then aimed it to the portal, hoping he would hit something. After She-Ra nodded, Bow fired the arrow into the portal.
Meanwhile in the portal, everyone was about to enter it, before one of the robots beside Azdar was shot by the arrow that appeared from the portal. Everyone stopped including Azdar and saw the robot fall down and shut down. Everyone was in shock before they all looked at the portal. They all saw a figure in the portal, before she revealed herself as She-Ra. Everyone gasped and saw her appear from the portal, before she raised her sword forward.
"FOR ETHERIA!" Adora shouted before she ran to them. Everyone from Etheria appeared from the portal and charged towards the robots, all getting ready to fight as the final battle was now in Eternia, with all of the Rebellion, and The First Horde, were now fighting each other to declare who will be the victor, and will the universe be saved or destroyed by the Core of Eternia.
Xyphak watched from a room before he looked at a door and then opened it with his hands. The door was destroyed before he looked and saw that the Soothsayer wasn't with him. "Where is the Soothsayer?" Xyphak asked one of the guards. The guard looked at him before he slowly pointed to outside, seeing the Soothsayer was in battle. This made Xyphak enraged before he growled and then opened the second door. "The fool... he disobeyed me! Now... with no one else that will be the sacrifice... there is only one thing to do..."
"And what is that Lord Xyphak...?" The guard asked before he looked at the fight going on.
"I will activate the Core myself... I will be the sacrifice... and make sure that the Core will be activated... so there... there will be... peace..." Xyphak said as he walked away, getting ready to activate the Core early. The guard looked at him walking away before he went to watch the fight happen.
Meanwhile in the battle, She-Ra looked at Entrapta. "Entrapta! How much time is there left until the Core activates?!" She said to her before she kept fighting. Entrapta looked before she gasped and then ran to Adora.
"We only have two hours left! If you want to destroy it, you have to do it quick before Xyphak activates it!" Entrapta said before she smacked a few robots with her hair. She-Ra went to keep slashing, before she pushed forward and kept attacking along with everyone else. The final battle had now begun, as everyone was now fighting to declare the universe's fate, if it would whether be saved by the Rebellion, or destroyed by The First Horde.
To be Continued
Author's Note: Like the last one, this was also a very hard "Episode" to work on, as I had to think a lot on how it should go. A few things to recap now: The Rebellion is now fighting in Eternia and the entire battle is to decide the fate of the universe, Xyphak will now activate the Core of Eternia himself when the Soothsayer went to fight, and The Rebellion got a MASSIVE upgrade with the Star Siblings, and every warrior from all the planets now fighting with them. Also, yes, I wanted Tung Lashor to be with the Snakemen, because he was with them in the original He-Man series. The next "Episode" is the battle now in Eternia, as well as Xyphak VS She-Ra. Stay tune for that, as we are 3 more "episodes" until Remnants of the First Ones is completely finished!
