Author Note: Sequel to She-Ra and the Masters of the Universe
A small one and done idea i had detailing some thoughts about Skeletor, Catra, Adora, the Horde and the Evil Warriors.
Evil Friends
Adora stretched as she was about to head to bed, it was gonna take a few days to get back to Etheria after the mega-trip from Eternia. It was so odd to think that on that planet she had a family, a history, and roots. Though she guessed that it was only interesting, for at the end of the day Etheria was her home first and foremost and she wouldn't have it any other way really.
Walking into her room she saw Catra laying down staring up at the ceiling. She had a very interesting look on her face.
"Hey Kitty, what's up" Adora jumped on the bed and looked into the ceiling too.
"Just thinking"
"About what?"
"Stuff?"
"What kinda stuff" Adoar smiled.
"Dumb stuff" Catra smirked.
"Isn't that my thing"
Catra chuckled, "You're rubbing off on me".
Adora laughed turning to her side, "Serisouly though, whats in that head of yours"
With that Catra got up and gave a big cat like yawn and stretch before staring out into the room as if she was deep in thought.
"I was just thinking, if you hadn't left the Horde, do you think that you, me, Scorpia and heck even Entrapta could have all been friends"
Adora blinked, "Well, I don't know, Shadow Weaver didn't really let me have a lot of friends, plus we had a lot of issues and…
"I know, it's just…If Shadow Weaver was better, or just not there, think we could have all been friends?"
"Like evil friends conquering Etheria together…" Adora took a moment to think about it, "Yeah, I think so, why you ask"
Catra took a deep breath, "It's just, we battled Skeletor, and we defeated but then his minions came and rescued him"
"I mean, they are his minions right?" Adora shrugged.
"But what if there not, what if…What if Skeletor is evil…and yet has friends" Catra blinked again still with that contemplated look.
Adora gave a raised eyebrow, "Don't tell me you wanna be a bad guy again"
"No!" Catra chuckled, "Trust me, I don't…It's just…It's just weird to think that when me and Hordak were bad, we pushed everyone we loved away, and I tend to think bad people are unhappy most of the time, but your bon head of Uncle…
"Yeah that's weird" Adora laughed nervously.
"Yeah," Catar nodded, "But your bonhead of Uncle, he's Evil, but he has friends"
"Evil friends," Adora corrected.
"Friends are still friends" Catra pointed out, "I saw a bit of that when he captured me Adora, it was so weird, like…What if the Horde actually got its act together and we were just one weird evil family"
"Then the Princess would probably be destroyed and we'd ruling the world and everyone who didn't like it would be miserable"
Catra shook her head, "I know that, but I think that makes Skeletor dangerous Adora, it means if he's not gonna stop being a bad guy or self-destruct, he'll have friends by his side…His Evil Warriors. Did you know he said they were a rebellion like you guys"
"A rebellion?"
Catra nodded, "Yeah, and he's not wrong, your dad is the King of Eternia, by all accounts Skeletor is the rebel"
"Huh, guess being a rebel runs in the family then" Adora said looking a bit nervous.
It was odd what Catra was saying, her uncle Skeletor or Keldor or whatever, he was a rebel fighting against the powers that be on Eternia. Not only that, he had friends, perhaps legit friends too, in a weird twisted sense. In fact the more Adora thought about it the more she realized that her Uncle and his Evil-Warriors were almost a dark version of the Princess Alliance. They didn't have the massive armies or tech but they had will and determination and they kept going.
That was a scary thought because the Horde had been less so defeated by mostly infighting and a alien invasion. But these guys, they probably wouldn't go down without some sort of fight. Skeletor may have had a lot of Catra's jealousy towards Randor and bitterness, but he also seemed to have found something by going down the path of evil.
"Evil friends" Adora muttered to herself, "That's kinda a scary thought"
"Yeah, i thought being evil meant you lost everything"
Adora took her hand, "For some people it does"
"You're looking at one" Catra smiled, "I'm glad i'm on the good side, but I'm worried, because if Skeletor said is true, he's gonna come back for us"
"Yeah" Adora squeezed her hand a bit tighter, "And will be ready"
Adora hoped they would have peace, but something told her the head of an uncle would come back, and he would bring his evil friends in toe. However they'd just have to fight. But parat of her wondered if the fighting would ever stop.
