Back at the Brightmoon palace, Glimmer and Adora, in her She-Ra form walked into the meeting room to meet Entrapta and Mermista, who had just returned with Pyroc in tow. As they entered, both were taken aback by the sight of the Fire Knight.

"Who is that?" Glimmer asked, a bit nervous.

"His name's Pyroc," Entrapta said, "He's an Infernian that we found at the ruined city."

"An Infernian?" She-Ra said, "I thought they were all gone."

"We did too," Entrapta said, "Until we found him in some kind of magical sarcophagus and woke him up. Turns out he had been in that thing for a hundred years."

"What on Earth was he doing there?" Glimmer asked.

"That's the problem," Mermista said, "We don't know and he can't seem to remember anything past the battle against Horde Prime. Think you can help him out?"

"I can try," She-Ra said, and she walked over to Pyroc. Pyroc inched backwards a bit.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm going to try and see if I can read your memory," she answered, "Maybe see if I can make it resurface. Just relax."

Saying this, She-Ra reached out with her hands and touched the sides of Pyroc's head. Using her magic, she looked into his mind and began seeing if she could go to the most recent memory there, pushing past his awakening and encounter with Mermista and Entrapta. Then, she found something that looked faded, but it was right before his memory of waking up, so it had to be the one. Infusing a bit of healing magic, she flared the memory back to life, seeing it clearly as she did…

…

The scene was a massive battle. She-Ra could see Horde Prime's robots and clones fighting the Infernian soldiers. It was an incredibly intense fight; both Horde soldier and Infernians were being blasted by explosions. Then, the scene changed to a small group of soldiers hiding in a secret, underground room. Two of them were preparing what seemed to be the sarcophagus Entrapta had brought up. Two others were speaking amongst each other; she recognized one of them as Pyroc.

"I want to go back and fight." He said.

"No." said the other, this one in more regal armor than the others, leading She-Ra to assume he was the king, "We've been outmatched. The people are trying to escape the city as we speak, but this is the only way to truly ensure our survival."

"But Snows may still come," Pyroc said.

"I doubt they would, but even if they are coming, it's too late now. Horde Prime's forces are just too great."

"I have to help them, then!"

The Fire King put a hand on Pyroc's shoulder: "Pyroc, you are the greatest and most loyal of our warriors. You are the only one I trust to do this, but I need you to be willing to do this. You're the only one who can speak to the people of the future and tell them the truth."

Pyroc sighed; there was no changing his mind: "Alright, I'll do it."

The king nodded, and then gave Pyroc a fiery axe.

"Use this when you wake," the kings said, "A king's weapon must never fall into enemy hands, so I entrust it to you."

Pyroc nodded, holstering the axe on his back. Then, he went to the sarcophagus and laid down on it.

"Good luck," the kings said as the other knights began to close the lid. Once they did, the knights activated the sarcophagus' magic, putting Pyroc in suspended animation. Here, the memory cut out.

…

She-Ra removed her hands from Pyroc's head as Pyroc stumbled back in shock.

"I…I remember now," he said, "The king knew we lost, so he wanted me to be hidden until later so I could reveal the truth of what happened to our people should no other refugees make it."

"Well," Glimmer said, "Some actually did, and we did learn that Infernia fell to Horde Prime, but there was always one thing we never were able to figure out."

"Which is?" Pyroc asked.

"Historians believe that long before Horde Prime's attack, you sent a message to the Kingdom of Snows, asking for their help."

"That we did."

"Here's the weird part. Snows has denied to ever getting such a message multiple times."

"Impossible. Our messenger took a secret route that Horde Prime was never able to find; there's no way he got the messenger before he could reach Snows."

"Well, that's just how it is." She-Ra said, "There's not much we can do about it."

"Maybe for you," Pyroc said, "But I can."

"What do you mean?" Mermista asked.

Pyroc sounded determined: "I'm going to Snows myself to figure out what really happened."

"Now hold on." She-Ra said, "You can't just march into Snows."

"Watch me." Pyroc said.

"No, she's right," Glimmer said, "You can't go. Not alone at least."

"What do you mean?"

"It's been a hundred years since you were last around and a lot has changed, including the royalty of the kingdoms. Princess Frosta has no idea who you are, and frankly, that usually means she'll be a bit more violent towards you. If you want to get an audience with her, you'll need someone she trusts to go with you."

"Who do you have in mind?" Pyroc asked.

"None of us princesses are available right now," Mermista said, so that's out of the question."

"What about that new rogue team?" Entrapta said.

Glimmer though for a moment: "It's possible. They just returned from a search and destroy mission on Seaworthy."

"Are you sure that's a good idea though?" Mermista asked, "They're not exactly the most peaceful team when it comes to things like this."

"Maybe," Glimmer said, "But they've always gotten the job done so far and I trust them greatly. Plus, no one else is available right now, like you said."

Mermista sighed: "This isn't going to end well…"

"What is this team you speak of?" Pyroc asked.

"The Rogue Squad," Glimmer replied, "They're one of our most trusted fighting teams. If anyone can get an audience with one of the princesses, it's them."

"I'll call them up," She-Ra said.

A few minutes later, the door to the meeting room opened, revealing Makuta at the front, Catra in her old second in command outfit and hairstyle as well as Skorp were at either side of him, while Waspix hovered above the three.

"So," Makuta said, "What's the mission?"

Author's note: So, I gave Catra her second in command look because A) I think it was the best look on her, and B) I think it would look best for this team. Plus, she technically is the second in command of the Rogue Squad.
