Lead the Way: A Star Wars/She-Ra Story

Chapter 20: Hearts and Beasts

Back on Lothal

"I just have heard there are people rising up against the empire", Ezra said.

"That's good news", Hunter said.

Here said, "with any luck, the Empire will be less of a problem by the time we finally find Sam and his family."

Kanan asked, "who is going to search for them?"

"Decided, I have already", Yoda said.

Ezra asked, "who are you sending?"

Yoda replied, "to find Skywalker and his family, this team I am sending. Ahsoka, Obi Wan, Luminara, Shaak Ti, Clone Force 99, Captain Rex, Fives, Slash, and remnant of the 402nd, we shall send."

"We will do our best to find our commander", Slash said.

"If you find Sam and the twins, we will finally win this war and end the Empire", Cal said.

Ahsoka said, "the key is to find them first. We're so close to finding the planet they're one."

Rex said, "well then, let's get this mission started as soon as possible."

"Let's make sure we all have supplies stocked first", Tech said.

Echo said, "good idea. We're gonna need all we can for this mission."

"And medical supplies incase Commander Skywalker and the twins are hurt", Bac said.

"Yes that too", Shaak Ti said.

Slash said, "well, saddle up everyone. We're off to find our best hope."

"May the force be with you", Leon said.

"Take care Leon, you too Ani", Ahsoka said.

Ani nodded before hugging his mother goodbye, and Leon gave Ahsoka a kiss goodbye.

Soon, the group entered tyebhangar to see the ship they would be taking on this journey.

A correllian ship known as; the Silver Blade. A smaller cargo ship meant for stealth, that was shaped like a sword.

"Woah that ship looks amazing", Omega said.

Slash said, "I had the mechanic build it for us. Perfect for stealth. I give you; The Silver Blade."

"Silver Blade? Nice name", Hunter said.

Luminara asked, "well, is everything on board?"

Shaak Ti replied, "yes. We have all the supplies we need for this jounrey into the unknown to find my old student."

"Be careful out there", Vos said.

"And let us know if you find them", Ventress said.

Ahsoka gave a smirk and said, "will do, you two."

It was still hard for Ahsoka to believe that, not only was Ventress on their side, but that she was in a relationship with Quinlin Vos.

"Stay safe", Kanan said.

"Let us know if the Empire finds out where the Skywalker family is", Hera said.

Obi Wan said, "we will."

Luminara then added, "until we meet again."

And with that, he team got onto the ship and soared into the stars, off to find their friends….

….

On Etheria

Adora and the group have made it to Beast island.

"Oh my, look, Artoo and Swift Wind have found something", Threepio shouted.

Luke asked, "what is it?"

Swift Wind lifts the piece of metal and on the ground is Entrapta's wielding mask.

"Entrapta! She must have been on this ship", Leia said.

Swift Wind asked, "where do you think she went?"

Bow said, "she must have left some sort of trail for her to keep track of where she's been. That's something she'd do."

Adora said, "Bow, you might be onto something with that! Everyone, look for some sort of trail!"

"I think I found a trail", Leia shouted.

"Let's follow it", Adora said.

The group then started to follow the trail.

"I heard the same sound earlier, right before Mara's ship crashed", Swift Wind said.

"First Ones' tech. This is all First Ones' tech. But it's corrupted, melted down. This must've been some kind of First Ones' dumping ground", Bow said.

"We should get moving while we still have light. Entrapta's here somewhere", Adora said.

Luke said, "we aren't gonna rest until she's back home with us. Maybe this'll teach Glimmer to finally listen today again."

Leia replied, "Force, I hope so. I miss when she used to tuck me in from time to time, and read with me in her spare time. As soon as she became queen…. She just shut us out…."

….

Fright Zone

Sam was in his room speaking with Antauri.

Sam asked, "you have met Horde Prime before?"

Antauri replied, "indeed. Thousands of years ago, we fought in a duel of lighrsabers. I won the duel, but I let him live, since I knew there was still good in him."

"Good in him? From what Hordak has said about him, I doubt there can be good in a person like Horde Prime", Sam said.

Antauri said, "that's what you and your friends thought of the people in the Horde. Hordak, Catra, and Scorpia. You saw the good in them. And trust me, there will come someone who can redeem Horde Prime."

Sam then remembered the vision he once had about Horde Prime.

Sam asked, "is this about the girl who looks like Ahsoka; the one who I saw in the vision?"

"That girl you saw is Ahsoka's twin sister; Ashla", Antauri said.

Sam said, "heh, I often forget Ahsoka had a twin. Well, it's good to know that she may be able to help us end the fighting by getting close to him."

Antauri said, "indeed. For you must all be ready for when things go wrong."

Sam asked, "like what?"

Antauri said, "like many other times, if I revealed it, things would change for the worse."

Sam said, "okay. Also, Antauri, I wanted to ask; is Horde Prime force sensitive?"

Antauri replied, "he does indeed have a connection to the force, albeit not as strong as yours."

Hamill then ran into the room.

Sam asked, "what is it Hamill?"

Hamill beeped.

Sam clarified, "Hordak wants to see me?"

Hamill let out a laugh.

Sam blushed.

Sam then saw Antauri was gone.

Sam said, "every single time", before he went off to see what Hordak wanted to talk to him about?

Hordak was in his lab and he saw Sam walk into the room.

Hordak smiled and said, "ah, hello there my love. You're exactly who I wanted to see right now."

Sam then gave Hordak a quick kiss.

Sam asked, "what did you want to talk about Hordak?"

"I spoke with Catra through a video call and I felt something was odd about her…. Mostly her emotions", Hordak said.

Sam asked, "her emotions?"

Hordak replied, "yes. Like…. She's finally thinking things through. Thinking about who she hurts now…."

"Hmm…. First, it means you are growing a stronger connection to the force…. Second…. Maybe Catra is starting to realize her mistakes", Sam said.

Hordak said, "I honestly hope you're right…. I am honestly growing tired of all of this fighting amongst the Horde and the rebellion."

Sam then hugged Hordak.

"I am tired of this too. All I have known my entire life…. Is to fight in a war", Sam said.

Hordak said, "I am about ready to finally try for peace with the Princesses…."

Sam smiled and said, "that's all I've ever wanted to hear…."

Hordak then cupped Sam's cheeks in his hands.

He said, "when the time finally comes…. There will finally be peace between us all. So we can finally live a calm life together. All of us. Your friends and family on both sides. I promise, that this day will come."

Sam felt tears falling down his face.

"Don't cry my love", Hordak said.

Sam said, "I can't help it. Those are some of the most beautiful words you've said."

Sam and Hordak smiled as they shared a soft and love filled kiss. No tongues, just their lips locked together in a joyful display.

….

Back on Beast Island

Adora and the others had found out that King Micah, Glimmer's father, was still alive!

"Your Majesty", Adora said as she and the others bowed.

"Huh? You know who I am? Please don't kneel. I'm no king here", Micah said.

"Of course we know. Oh, uh I'm Adora, and this is Luke, Leia, and their droids Artoo, Threepio and this is Swift Wind and Bow", Adora said.

"King Micah, It's so great to….", Bow said before Micah grabbed his face.

Micah said, "huh. Apologies. It's been…. Quite some time since I've talked to anyone else. Anyone real, that is. And you are real, Right?!"

"Very real. Huh, yeah. Hi. Uh…. Are you real? I mean, we kinda thought you were dead", Luke said.

"If the Horde had their way, I would be. They exiled me here, but I survived", Micah said.

"King Micah, we're from Bright Moon. We know your daughter, Glimmer", Leia said.

Micah looked at Leia and asked, "really?! How is she? Has she been eating right? Is she behaving? Does she miss me? What's she up to?!"

The others all looked at one another. They didn't have the heart to tell him how Glimmer had been acting recently, so they told him of what she's normally like.

Adora said, "she's our best friend."

Luke said, "she encourages all of us to do what's right."

Leia said, "she's caring to everyone, especially me and Luke."

Bow said, "she's the bravest girl I've ever met."

Threepio said, "she is a very intelligent and thoughtful young lady."

Micah smiled at the praise his daughter got from her friends.

"Leia, you have something in your hair", Adora said as she removed a dead bug from Leia's hair.

"I didn't even notice it, thanks", Leia said.

Micah asked, "are those twins your children, Adora?"

Adora stuttered and said, "er, no! Well, not biologically! Their uncle is a great friend, and I've been taking care of them…. Y'know, as if they were…. My kids…."

Luke and Leia placed their hands on Adora's shoulders.

"Adora is like the mother we always wanted to have in our lives", Luke said.

"We never knew our mother as she died giving birth to me and Luke", Leia said.

Adora gave a very grateful smile as Micah said, "well I'm glad these children have a good person to help raise them. Now, might I ask how you all got here, and what you're all doing here?"

Then some noises were heard.

"There's no time for pleasantries! We have to move quick, follow me", Micah shouted.

Micah began leading the group through the forest to a place where it was actually safe, having lived on the island long enough to gain the upper hand in survival.

"We should be safe here", Micah said.

"Oh, that is very good news", Threepio said.

Micah asked, "so, what brings you to Beast Island?"

Adora said, "uh, we came here looking for our friend, Princess Entrapta. Any chance you've seen her?"

"She's got purple hair and really like robots. Like, really, really likes robots", Luke said.

"Yeah, I know her. She stole my rations. Only the tiny ones for some reason", Micah said.

"That's great! I mean, not the food part, but the other part. She's okay, or she was not long ago", Adora said.

Micah asked, "why are you looking for her?"

Luke said, "one; she's our friend."

Leia added, "and two; we need her help to save the planet, and everyone on it."

Bow joined in with, "so once we find her, we can get you and her back to Bright Moon."

….

Fright Zone

Hordak was working on fixing the blaster he wields on his arm.

"Hello there", She-Ra said.

Hordak used the force to knock She-Ra into the ground.

She-Ra shapeshifts into Double Trouble.

"Ugh, I know, I know…. No one's welcome in Hordak's super-secret sanctum. Well, I mean only your beloved is the one who is allowed to be in here", Double Trouble said.

Hordak said, "just get to the point. Why are you here? Did Catra send you to mess with me? Or do you have actual information to give?"

"Well, I was looking forward to meeting this Entrapta character before I left Bright Moon. But of course, as you know, she wasn't there", Double Trouble said.

Hordak asked, "what did you say?"

"Oh, no need keep up the charade with me. I figured out the truth. You had Catra send Entrapta to Beast Island, so She-Ra would run off to rescue her. A brilliant idea! The perfect distraction. I have to applaud your work, you really had me going", Double Trouble said as they smiled.

Hordak was in deep thought.

"Brava. I mean, I did consider the alternative…. That Catra's been lying to you this whole time. That she made you think she was your partner in crime, while really she is the one who betrayed you….", Double Trouble said as they smirked, "well, I'll leave you to it! Congrats again. Great work all around", Double Trouble said as they left the room.

Hordak fires his weapon in rage, setting afire everything around him.

This alerted Sam, who quickly ran to the room to see everything ablaze! Hamill hid behind him in fear.

Sam said, "Hordak? Hordak!"

Hordak turned to Sam with a face full of rage and sorrow.

He sobbed out, "y-you were right... She never betrayed us…. Catra sent her away!"

Sam had a look of shock upon hearing that. His look turned to anger as he said, "I think we need to have a talk with her…."

….

Back on Beast Island

The group had managed to find Entrapta. It took them a while, but they were finally able to convince her to come with them after they showed her Mara's ship.

"Hellooo! It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen", Entrapta said with sparkles in her eyes, "how does it work? What does this button do? I'm going to push it and find out!"

Luke stops Entrapta from pushing a random button.

"Um, take us home to Bright Moon", Bow said.

Micah said, "well, still, I couldn't let myself believe…. Is it all true? We're really going home?"

Adora smiled and said, "yes. You're finally going home. And we're gonna make sure you and your daughter get all the time you need with one another to make up for your time on that island."

And with that, the ship began to side into the air and fly off back to Bright Moon.

….

Later, the ship then lands inside Bright Moon castle!

The group then run towards the Throne room.

"Bright Moon. I'm really home" Micah said, he then gets off Swift Wind. Micah said before he gasped, "Glimmer! Glimmer, where are you?"

The group saw Shadow Weaver sitting on Glimmer's throne.

"She's gone", Shadow Weaver said.

She then stood up and said, "Micah? Is it really you?"

Micah sends a spell at Shadow Weaver, but she stops it.

Micah asked, "what is this traitor doing here?"

Luke asked, "where's Glimmer?"

Shadow Weaver replied, "she saw you leave for Beast Island. She didn't think you trusted her anymore. And so she decided to activate the Heart."

The others all yelled in perfect unison, "SHE DID WHAT!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHY WOULD SHE DO SOMETHING SO STUPID?! WHY DIDN'T SHE LISTEN!?"

Leia asked, "where is she now?!"

Shadow Weaver replied, "she and Scorpia are now in the Fright Zone."

This shocked all of them to the core!

….

In the Galaxy

The Silver Blade was currently resting.

Tech asked Ahsoka, "are you certain this is the spot?"

Ahsoka replied, "yes. This is supposed to be the place. We're so close to finding them!"

"This is the last known location of the Ebon Hawk and the Star Destroyer before they both went into hyperspace", Hunter said.

"We have to keep searching, Etheria has to be here somewhere", Luminara said.

Ahsoka said, "Leon, Ani and I have already searched everywhere in this area. They entered hyperspace, and just vanished. The only way we'll find them is…. Hm…."

….

Back in the Fright Zone, we see Catra walking into Hordak's sanctum.

Catra asked, "Hordak? You wanted to talk with me?"

The door closes behind Catra.

"Come on, I don't have time for this. Our troops are moving out for Bright Moon as we speak. If there's something you need, you can….", Catra said before she stopped.

A harmful blast of energy barely misses Catra.

"Hello, Force Captain", Hordak said.

Catra yelled, "what the Hell was that about?"

Hordak said, "I know about what you did to Entrapta."

Catra stuttered, "w-what?"

Sam walked into the room and said, "Double Trouble told us the truth. That was a new low, even for you Catra. Even as I still hold out hope for you to be good, you keep doing terrible things!"

Catra gave a remorseful look as Sam and Hordak's gazes bored into her.

….

Glimmer had been captured by the Horde, and had activated the Heart of Etheria, only realizing her mistakes when they were too late.

The team was now on a mission to fix all of this.

"Stay here, King Micah. The Sorcerers Guild is on their way to help protect Bright Moon. I promise, your Majesty, we'll bring Glimmer home to you", Adora said.

Micah nodded in thanks.

"Swift Wind, take Bow and Entrapta to the Fright Zone", Adora said to Bow.

"Threepio and Artoo, stay here", Luke said.

Bow asked, "what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to the Crystal Castle. I have to keep Light Hope from activating the Heart of Etheria", Adora said.

"We'll go with you", Leia said.

Adora shook her head.

"No, you can't, it's much too dangerous. Besides, you two will go with Bow and Entrapta, hopefully this time you will be able to rescue your Uncle", Adora said.

Artio bleeped something that Threepio translated, "Artoo asks; why should we rescue Princess Glimmer, when she wouldn't rescue Entrapta?"

Adora replied, "because she's our friend. Our family. She's made mistakes; but we can't hold that against her."

Luke said, "we still need help to accomplish all of this."

Leia said, "what about Scorpia?"

Adora replied, "not a bad idea. We need all the help we can get to save Glimmer and stop the Heart from activating."

Luke said, "I'm expecting a major apology from Glimmer when we save her, especially after her recent actions. Oh, and Scorpia went with Glimmer to the Fright Zone."

Bow said, "then we save her too. We've all made mistakes at one point. We can't hold that against them when they're in danger. We stop the Heart, and rescue Glimmer, Scorpia, and hopefully Sam."

"Good luck", Leia said.

"May the Force be with you", Adora said.

And with that, our heroes set off to save their friends, and the planet itself, from total calamity!

….

Fright Zone

Catra said, "Entrapta was a traitor. What else is there to know?"

"We trusted you", Sam shouted.

Hordak then fired another blast at Catra, but she was able to dodge it and she ran off.

Hordak yelled, "get back here! After everything we've all been through, you toss Entrapta onto Beast Island! I can't believe that Sam sees good in you!"

"Catra, you've gone too far this time", Sam shouted.

Catra yelled, "I'm just not good enough, admit it! Adora's a better fighter! Scorpia is stronger! Entrapta is smarter! And Sam is like the best of all of us! What do I have to offer, huh?!"

Sam and Hordak were now in a open area of the Fright Zone.

"Catra please…. It's not too late, if you keep going down this path, you'll end up alone", Sam shouted.

After hearing this Catra snapped.

She lunged at them, yelling, "everyone's got someone, huh?! Well what about me!? You two have each other! Bow and Glimmer have each other! And the only person I've ever loved is…. Agh!"

Catra jumped over Sam and kicked him in the back.

Hordak yelled in anger as he was about to fire at Catra, when she used her foot to destroy Hordak's blaster.

Sam activated one of his lightsabers.

As Catra was grappling Sam, he held the blade to her neck.

And as she glared at him, her anger turned to shock as she saw tears in his eyes.

Sam begged, "Catra…. Please…. I've already had to fight so many old friends. I don't want to fight you!"

Catra's eyes softened for a moment, before they were filled with rage again.

Catra kicked Sam's lightsaber out of his hand, and before Sam could grab his other Lightsaber, Catra electrocuted Sam with her baton staff and then she kicked him towards a wall knocking him out!

Hordak's face was filled with anger at seeing his love being injured.

Hordak straight up tackled Catra to the floor, growling in rage almost like a vicious animal!

Catra was able to kick Hordak off her.

Catra then stood up.

Hordak then activated his two lightsabers.

Catra yelled in confusion, "where did you get those!?"

Hordak smirked and said, "my beloved knows a temple AI."

Hordak then charged at Catra as he slashed his lightsabers at her.

Catra was having a hard time dodging Hordak's attacks.

"Sam has made you weak, Hordak", Catra shouted.

Hordak's eyes were then filled with anger and rage after hearing Catra say that.

Hordak thrust his hand forward, stopping Catra in midair as he said, "wrong. He's only made me stronger. I have someone to fight for. That's what's kept me on my A game!"

Catra then grabbed her blaster and blasted the ceiling above Hordak forcing him to let go of Catra.

Catra shouted, "I didn't need Entrapta. I didn't need Adora, or Scorpia. And I don't need you or Sam!"

Catra then shot at the roof above Hordak causing debris to fall on top of him.

Hordak then blacked out.

….

She-Ra was rushing towards the Crystal Castle, when she started to glow Yellow.

"Oh no", She-Ra said as she knew what this meant.

The Runestones had connected to the princesses, and in turn it would allow Light Hope to activate the Heart.

"I won't let that happen", She-Ra said as she ran towards the Crystal castle.

….

Catra still kept looking at Sam and Hordak's unconscious forms, then she heard a laugh.

Catra turned around to see Adora.

"Hey, Catra", Adora said.

"No. You can't do this. You can't come in and take this from me now", Catra said with anger in her eyes.

"Whoa, I knew this would get a rise out of you, but, still, you really are obsessed, aren't you, kitten….", Adora said with a smirk before she laughed as her shape shifted revealing it to be Double Trouble.

"You know, it took me a while, but I finally figured out your character", Double Trouble said with a smile.

Catra growled, "you don't know a thing about me."

Double Trouble smirked and said, "don't I? You try to turn everything into a game or a joke. You keep pushing others away when they get too close to you. Even after all that's happened, you could never bring yourself to actually destroy your precious best friend…."

Double Trouble then shape shifted into Catra.

Catra said, "you try so hard to play the big, bad villain, but your heart's never been in it, has it?"

"What? What are you? Stop. Stop it", Catra said as her wrist was grabbed by Catra.

Catra said, "people have hurt you, haven't they?"

The then shapeshifted into Shadow Weaver.

"They didn't believe in you", Shadow Weaver said, then they shapeshifted into Hordak.

"They didn't trust you", Hordak said, then they shapeshifted into Sam.

"And so you push everyone away, before it can ever happen again", Sam said before turning into Bow.

"No friends", Bow said before turning into Glimmer.

"No family", Glimmer said before turning into Adora.

"And no love", Adora said.

Catra then fell to the ground.

"But did you ever stop to think maybe they're not the problem….", Adora said before shape shifting into Scorpia.

"It's you. You drive them away, wildcat", Scorpia said before shapeshifting back into Double Trouble.

Catra asked, her voice filled with sadness, "why are you doing this?"

"It's for your own good, darling. We both know this was never what you really wanted. But it was also a good distraction"; Double Trouble said as they held up a datapad showing the Horde Army being defeated by the Rebels.

Catra's face was filled with shock and sadness.

"Your army was ambushed on their way to defenseless Bright Moon. Your face right now is almost better than applause. Almost", Double Trouble said as they frowned.

"You betrayed me", Catra said with no emotion in her voice.

"It's not personal, darling. You knew how this worked. The best way to survive is always to choose the winning side. The Rebels have some kind of ancient superweapon", Double Trouble said with a smirk on their face.

"Any minute now, they're going to use it, and when they do…. Everything you've worked for will be destroyed", Double Trouble said, then they clapped their hands together, "I'd really better be going before that happens." Double Trouble said as they bowed, "and Scene", Double Trouble said as they touched Catra's nose and pushed her, then they walked away leaving Catra by herself.

Catra whispered, "what do I do? What do I do!? I…. I don't wanna be alone anymore! I don't want to fight anymore! I just want….", Catra couldn't even finish her sentence as they cried.

….

The Crystal Castle

"Light Hope, please don't do this", She-Ra pleaded with the hologram as she moved the planet's alignment chart so they were fully aligned.

"Good, you are here. Now we can begin. After a thousand years, my programming will be fulfilled. The Heart of Etheria will be unleashed against the First Ones' enemies", Light Hope said.

She-Ra's sword began to rise, but she pushed it back down, "no-no t-there are no First Ones anymore. Whatever war they were fighting, it's long over."

"The First Ones will rise again. You are a descendant of their mighty empire. That is why I used all my strength to reach across the entire universe to find you and bring you here", Light Hope said.

She-Ra's eyes widened in shock and anger.

"You told me Hordak was the one who brought me through the portal. You told me he stole me. But it was you all along. All of this is because of you", She-Ra shouted in anger.

With a grunt, she used her strength to plant her sword in the 'ground'.

"This is your intended function. You will bring the First Ones to glory. It is what you were born to do", Light Hope said with no emotion in her voice.

She-Ra yelled, "don't you get it! The First Ones are gone! Their enemies are gone! You're acting like a fish trying to swim in a desert! Your actions will only cause pain and suffering!

Light Hope wouldn't listen as she said, "you will do this!"

"No! No, I won't", She-Ra shouted.

Light Hope continued, "The Heart of Etheria has been activated. You will be the one to fire it. There is no stopping it now."

First one's writing began to crawl up She-Ra's skin, looking like weird glowing tattoos.

But she began to yell as it became increasingly harder to keep the sword from firing.

….

Glimmer then teleported to the Fright Zone and she saw Catra sitting by herself.

Glimmer then saw Sam and Hordak were knocked out.

'I have to deal with Catra first', Glimmer thought.

Glimmer then pointed her staff at Catra.

"Guess you wanted all my attention for yourself. Your troops are gone. You're all alone. You've lost", Glimmer said.

"What are you waiting for? Do it. Looks like we're both alone, Sparkles", Catra said with sadness in her voice.

Glimmer looked shocked at hearing Catra say that.

Glimmer then felt pain throughout her body and First Ones writing was appearing on her skin that began to glow.

Glimmer then started to scream in pain as Glowing light began to radiate off her.

Sam was still knocked out, but in his mind he heard a voice.

"Sam, you must listen to me!"

It was Antauri.

Sam slowly began to come to, as he muttered, "A-Antauri?"

Antauri yelled in Sam's mind, "you need to stop Light Hope! Before it's too late! If she succeeds in activating the Heart of Etheria, everyone will die! The Horde, and the rebels! Princess and soldier alike! Your friends! Your family! You must save them!"

….

Crystal Castle

All the Magic started to go inside the Sword of Protection and She-Ra tried to fight it.

"It won't work. Mara hid us in the far corners of the Unknown Regions so you couldn't hurt anyone else", She-Ra said.

"Mara….", Light Hope said as her face softened before it changed again, "Mara's interference caused a significant delay. But no longer. With the planet balanced, portal capability is restored. Initiate planetary move, out of the Unknown Regions", Light Hope said.

She-Ra then screamed as glowing light came out of her eyes and mouth.

Swift Wind was flying towards the Fright Zone, with Bow, Entrapta, Luke and Leia on his back.

Swift Wind then felt tired and he crashed onto the ground.

Luke asked, concerned, "Swift Wind, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, it's too much….", Swift Wind said as he groaned in pain.

Then a rumbling sound was heard and the sky was filled with a white pink light.

Bow asked, a bit scared, "what the...? Entrapta, what's happening?"

"It's a portal. A big portal. With the plant balanced, the portal capabilities must be back online. We're getting pulled through", Entrapta said.

Luke asked, "what does that mean?!"

Leia yelled, "I think we're being sent back to where the planet was originally!"

Luke exclaimed, "but that puts us all in danger! Not just the people on Etheria, but the entire galaxy back home!"

….

In the galaxy

Ahsoka shouted with a stern voice, "Han Solo, what are you doing here?"

Ahsoka had found out Han snuck aboard the Silver Blade.

"I wanted to come along and help find Leia too", Han said.

Obi Wan sighed as he shook his head.

Luminara said, "thus is a dangerous mission. We have no idea what's going to happen!"

Han yelled, "I don't care! I care about Leia. I'm not gonna just sit by and wait for her to be brought back. I'm gonna help you all find her!"

Wrecker asked, "how come you didn't bring the Falcon?"

"I decided to leave Lando and Chewie in charge of it", Han said with a shrug.

Slash shouted in shock, "hey, what's that?!"

The group ran to the viewport to see a strange glowing pink white light….

Omega asked a bit scared, "what's that pink light?"

Shaak Ti replied, "I'm not sure, but…. I sense Sam!"

Ahsoka exclaimed, "Leia! I feel her presence!"

Obi Wan shouted, "Luke! He's there as well!"

Then a planet appeared... But there was still glowing light surrounding it.

"Woah where did that planet come from", Han yelled in confusion.

Hunter asked, "could that be...?"

Slash said, "this must be Etheria! But how did it get here? And why? And what the Hell is up with that really bright light?"

"I'm not sure, but the readings are off the charts", Tech said with a surprised tone.
