Chapter 28: With Us or Against Us

"B...Brittni?" Adora inquired, in complete disbelief of seeing her former friend. Brittni gazed at Adora with a wide mixture of emotions. Shock, surprise, bitterness, anger. Adora's group was posted near the gate of Elberon while Brittni stood a few yards away near the forested area. At this point, the state of the relationship between Brittni and Adora was ambiguous, at best. While both of the former comrades were questioning the moral implications of the Horde, Adora was the one that ultimately turned her back on it. And with Adora turning her back on the Horde, Brittni seemed to take it rather personally.

A burst of flashbacks began bombarding Brittni's mind. She was thinking back to when Adora first grabbed the sword in the Whispering Woods. When Brittni had found out that Adora had been a princess the whole time, it truly shocked her. But that wasn't the event where Brittni's bitterness began. No, that enmity started when Adora left with Bow and Glimmer and joined the Rebellion

…and left Brittni alone in the forest...

The two gazed at each other for a little while before speaking A copious amount of unspoken communication was established between the two during this silence. While Brittni was eyeing Adora with contempt and bitterness, Adora gazed back with penitence and sensitivity. Arya switched glances between the two and finally spoke up.

"So… you two know each other?" Arya inquired. Brittni scoffed.

"I thought I knew her…" Brittni muttered, bitterly. Adora's eyebrows were curved into a frown. When all was said and done, just as Adora did not want to leave Catra, she also did not want to leave Brittni.

"Brittni… I…" Adora began, taking a few steps towards Brittni. Brittni, in response, squared her body up, ready to fight. Adora put her hands up to chin length, palms towards Brittni to demonstrate her armistice, then continued, "Brittni, I can only imagine what you think of me, but please, let's talk." Adora said, almost begging. Brittni's eyes curved into a deep glare.

"Talk?" Brittni demanded, chuckling out of irritation, "after all this time, you want to talk? Okay, fine. What do you want to talk about? How you turned your back on the Horde and all of your friends? How you left me to die from those wasps?! How…" Brittni began tearing up at this point. Brittni choked out in complete anger. "How could you do this to us… to me?!" Brittni demanded. Tears began streaming out of Adora's eyes and she stopped her pace towards Brittni.

"Brittni… I'm… I'm sorry. I really am sorry. Agh… this is the third time I've had to do this. I never meant to just leave you or the Horde. Just… let me explain. We actually went back for you. When you were stung by those wasps, we were about to go back and treat you, but the hillside broke beneath our feet and we fell into a chasm. That spider was coming after us and we ran into some kind of ancient ruin. After we got out, I swear that I made it our first priority to go find you… but when we did, you were already gone. I…" Adora began sobbing, "I thought you died, Brittni. I thought some kind of monster in the Whispering Woods took you and… and… Oh, Brittni, I mean it with all my heart. I'm sorry!" Adora fell to her knees and began sobbing into her hand.

Brittni was taken aback by this action. She supposed that she never did actually hear Adora's side of the story. This war and the two factions that had been fighting each other… Brittni was still unsure of who was right and who was wrong. At this point, she realized that both factions had done wrong to one another, but there was no real way to tell who was right all along. Although, in the wide spectrum of everything, the only true enemy was Horde Prime and his empire.

Regardless, Brittni had grown up with Adora and observed everything there was to know about her. Brittni could tell by the frequency in Adora's voice that she was sincere in her apology. Although Brittni still felt a bit of resentment from Adora leaving the Horde without much reservation, she knew that there was a more important purpose for going to Elberon. Brittni sighed, walked over to Adora, then knelt down next to her. Brittni put her hand to Adora's chin and lifted her head up. Brittni was able to get a full analysis of Adora's face. Adora's eyes had become reddened from crying, her cheeks were puffy, and her lips were quivering erratically.

Medicinewise, there was a science to understanding fake crying versus genuine crying. When sadness is registered in the cerebrum, the endocrine system is then stimulated to release hormones to the ocular area thus causing tears to flow. But that's not all, apart of these actions lead to the stimulation of the cheeks and lips. You cannot fake bodily functions like that. Thus, Brittni was able to know that Adora was sincere in her apology.

"I accept your apology…" Brittni began, then looked away for a few moments. When Brittni looked back she added, "I still don't know how I feel about us, but for now, let's just call a truce." Brittni suggested. Adora sniffled and nodded her head. Brittni stood up and helped pick Adora up. Arya snapped the two former comrades back to reality.

"I don't mean to interrupt this… tense reunion, but there's a reason we came here. Are we going in or not?" Arya demanded. Brittni eyed Arya suspiciously.

"Judging from your armor, I'd say you're a high ranking officer of the Rebellion?" Brittni surmised. Arya simply hmphed. Bow cut in.

"She's right, Adora, we need to get into Elberon." Bow advised. Adora turned towards Brittni.

"Brittni, I understand that we're not on the same side anymore, but I still consider you my friend." Adora claimed while putting her hand on Brittni's shoulder. Brittni switched glances between Adora's hand and her face while eyeing Adora with suspicion. Adora then continued, "please, come with us. We're just trying to find Glimmer."

The moment that Adora touched Brittni, a sudden burst of information began flooding Brittni's mind. It was almost a continuation of her vision from when she touched the Crystal Ball. Brittni began panting hard, as though she were hyperventilating. Adora put her other hand on Brittni's other shoulder.

"Brittni? Brittni! What's happening? What's going on?!" Adora demanded. After a few moments, Brittni's breathing returned to normal.

"We need to get in there. Now!"

Meanwhile, back in the Fright Zone…

Brett was still suspended in the air from Entrapta's hair as the large silhouette came into view. Brett let out a loud scream as the silhouette began moving towards him. When the silhouette entered into the room and was revealed by the light, Brett gasped.

Who could it have been? Octavia? Catra? Hordak himself?!

No.

It was Scorpia.

"Scorpia?!" Brett inquired. Scorpia put her claws up to her mouth and let out a loud gasp.

"Brett! Are you okay? Oh, gosh, let me get you out of there!" Scorpia said as she moved her claws close to Entrapta's hair.

"Be careful!" Brett shouted. Scorpia stayed her claws and gazed at Brett, blinking her eyes in surprise. Brett let out a sigh, "I'm about ninety nine percent sure that her hair has nerves." Scorpia continued to stare blankly at Brett which made him sigh.

"That means that she can feel you touching her hair." Brett explained. Scorpia switched glances between the hair and Brett.

"But that means you're one percent unsure!" Scorpia deduced. Brett growled.

"Scorpia…!" Brett said, condemningly. At his annoyance, Scorpia retracted her claws.

"Okay, well what do you want me to do?" Scorpia inquired, folding her arms. Brett thought for a few more moments. He remembered how well Entrapta reacted to technology, and a light bulb went off in his head.

"Hey, Entrapta! Take a look at the bot five feet in front of you! It's programmed to butter your toast!" Brett yelled. With that, Entrapta released Brett who fell to the floor with an 'Oof!' Entrapta then got off the bed and slept walked over to the end of Brett's bed and used her hair to pick up the robot that he invented.

"Well… *snore* hello, little guy. *snore* You think you could butter… *snore* tiny bread?" Entrapta sleepily inquired.

"I got her!" Scorpia yelled as she ran at Entrapta and tackled her. Entrapta let out an 'Oof!' as she was tackled by Scorpia, and at that point, Entrapta woke up screaming.

"Scorpia! You didn't have to tackle her!" Brett scolded. Scorpia lifted herself off Entrapta, keeping her lower body on top, and turned to Brett.

"Oh, sorry, Brett. I just thought, y'know, Rebel princess. She needed to be restrained. Y'know." Scorpia said, scratching the back of her neck. Entrapta gazed admirably at Scorpia's claws.

"Oh, wow… I've never seen a hybrid of a humanoid and a Hottentotta tamulus." Entrapta indicated as she wrapped one of her pigtails around one of Scorpia's claws. Scorpia turned to Entrapta.

"Hotten… Hottentotta- Wait! Brittni called me that one time! You're not her sister are you?" Scorpia inquired. Brett smacked his forehead and walked over to Scorpia.

"She's not my sister, Scorpia. But she is a rebel princess…" Brett said, sighing. He then added, "I'm not sure what to do with her yet." Before Scorpia could respond, another voice came from behind Brett.

"I know what to do with her."

Meanwhile, back at the entrance to Elberon…

The group of four walked carefully into Elberon. Bow had his arrow nocked, Arya and Adora had their swords drawn, and Brittni had a laser pistol in hand. When they entered, they were able to witness the destruction up close. Many buildings had multiple laser burns seared into the walls. There were various fires that covered the landscape. The most horrifying of all, however, were the bodies. Many corpses littered the street. The group recognized the Horde soldiers, but were unfamiliar with the ninjas and Glimmer's followers. Bow knelt down next to one of Glimmer's followers and analyzed the armor.

"This soldier has a Horde chest plate, but pauldrons from the Rebellion… Also, this symbol of the moon..." Bow declared, suspiciously. He turned back to the group and inquired, "any of you recognize these people?" The group, shook their heads in bewilderment. Arya moved to another corpse, this of a ninja.

"Huh, who knew there were others fighting the Horde." Arya muttered. Slightly under her breath she added, "good riddance…" Brittni heard that and growled.

"You got something to say, general?" Brittni demanded. Arya turned towards her and started marching towards her.

"As a matter of fact, I do." Within a few feet from Brittni, Arya turned to Adora and asked, "why are we letting her tag along with us, Adora? She's a Horde murderer!" Arya declared. Brittni glared at Arya.

"A murderer, huh? I watched one of your precious little princesses drive her hand through one of my comrades!" Brittni snapped.

"That's nothing compared to what the Horde has done to us, missy! Why I-" Arya started while pointing her finger towards Brittni. In the middle of Arya putting her finger towards Brittni, Brittni grabbed her finger. Upon grabbing the finger, Brittni let out a loud gasp. She was having another vision. Arya screamed in pain from her finger being grabbed.

"Agh! Let go, you-" Arya began before Brittni shook her head and tackled Arya to the ground. Arya yelled, "what are you doing, you little!-" Arya again attempted to speak before being interrupted by Brittni yelling.

"Sniper!" Brittni yelled as a laser shot whizzed right passed Brittni's right shoulder as she tackled Arya. In her vision, Brittni saw Arya getting shot with the laser. In addition, she was able to see the sniper's perch through the vision.

"Bow! Aim for the tower half a klick to the right!" Brittni yelled. With almost superhuman speed, Bow turned to the tower while simultaneously nocking the arrow in his bow. He then let the arrow fly. When the arrow hit the tower, a large flash illuminated the tower.

"That was a flashbang arrow! Get to cover!" Bow yelled. Brittni helped Arya stand up and lead her to a nearby outdoor market stand and ducked behind it. Meanwhile, Adora and Bow ran to the corner of a building, opposite the market stand that Brittni and Arya were behind. Because of the flashbang arrow, the sniper lost sight of the group and attempted to regain his targets by scanning the area with his scope.

"Any ideas?" Arya inquired of Brittni. Brittni inched her head up to take a peek at the perch. Her curiosity was met with a laser that flew over her head.

"Gah!" Brittni yelled as she quickly ducked her head down and rested her back against the market stall. After heavily breathing for a few moments, Brittni spoke, "okay, well, we're pinned down. That means Adora and Bow are going to have to do something" Brittni said. Luckily, the two duos were within sight of each other. Brittni peeked out to the side to get a view of the street. She calculated that if Bow were to lay down suppressing fire with his arrows, Brittni and Arya would be able to make a run to the tower, climb up it, and take out the sniper.

"Bow!" Brittni yelled out. He turned to her with a determination, "I need you to fire another flashbang at the tower, then Arya and I will run to the tower, alright?" Brittni explained. Bow gave a nod.

"Alright. Let's do this!" Bow said as he nocked another arrow. He took a step out but was immediately picked off by the sniper. Before he could fire off his arrow, the laser from the sniper nearly hit his foot. Bow grimaced and went back behind cover. Brittni, seeing this, improvised on the situation and decided to stand up and begin taking potshots at the tower. The sniper, surprised by the lasers, ducked down. During this distraction, Brittni kept firing while running with Arya towards the tower. The sniper stood up again once Brittni stopped firing and took aim. Instead of taking another shot, however, the sniper spoke.

"Hey! Are you Horde?" The sniper inquired. Brittni and Arya, with their backs against the wall of the tower looked at each other in confusion.

"Bravo Sierra One-One!" Brittni shouted. The sniper paused for a moment then responded.

"Lima Oscar Lima Three." The sniper shouted back. Arya was still confused, especially when Brittni casually walked away from the tower. She looked up and gasped.

"Viktor?!" Brittni inquired.

"Brittni? Oh, man, it IS you!" Viktor said excitedly, "hang on, lemme come down." Viktor then limped down the tower and exited it, holstering his rifle. "where have you been?!" Viktor inquired as he eyed Brittni with gratitude, then switched his gaze at Arya. He then added, "and… is this a rebel soldier?!" Brittni waved her hands up to calm Viktor down.

"Whoa, hang on Viktor. Take it easy, this is… call it a truce right now. Just, never mind it. Tell me what happened here." Brittni said. Viktor narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Arya who returned a glare. He scoffed then leaned back against the wall of the tower and let out a deep sigh. He then slumped to the floor. Brittni had noticed that Viktor had been shot in the side, as she saw a charred flesh wound. A laser had cauterized his wound, but he would still need to be treated.

"Viktor, you're hurt. Let me get you cleaned up." Brittni said as she knelt down and ripped the part of his bodysuit that had been penetrated. She then began her treatment as Viktor explained what happened.

"Heh, I can always rely on you, Nurse Brittni… thanks, ergh!" Viktor squinted as Brittni applied a solution of iodine and dressing on his wound, "egh… I never get used to that feeling. Anyway, it all started a couple hours ago…"

Viktor then went on to explain what happened when Night Moon attacked; (although he didn't know that was their name at this time.)

"...We were completely caught by surprise…" Viktor said, "over half of my soldiers, and a handful of civilians were slaughtered within the first hour. Last I checked, they were going to the different sections of the city and hunting down any remnant of the guard… and I suppose the civilians, too." Viktor muttered. Adora and Bow were encircled around Viktor listening to his story while Arya was standing a little far off keeping watch for the enemy.

"Pft…" Arya scoffed, "there's no such thing as Horde civilians."

"You know, we're not the evil murderers that the Rebellion makes us out to be!" Brittni yelled as she aggressively tightened the bandage around Viktor's waist to which he cried out in pain. Brittni then stood up and started marching towards Arya. Adora put her hand on Brittni's shoulder.

"Brittni…" Adora begged, looking deeply into Brittni's eyes as she looked back at Adora. Brittni let out a low growl and jerked her shoulder away from Adora's hand.

"Never mind, let's just figure out what these intruders are doing." Brittni said taking a few steps away and analyzing this sector of the city. Bow knelt down next to Viktor.

"Did you see a teleporting girl with them?" Bow inquired. Viktor cocked his eyebrow at him.

"Teleporting, huh? Hmmm… Sounds familiar. I think she was here around a month ago when we first took this city." Viktor pondered. Bow let Viktor think for a few moments and Viktor added, "was she around five foot four? Pink and purple, sparkly hair? Black leggings? Dark purple armor and boots? Glowing purple eyes with black scleras?" Viktor inquired. Bow narrowed his eyes at Viktor.

"Well… she has some of those features." Bow muttered. After Bow spoke that, the group heard a very familiar voice approach them from the distance.

"I'd say that was a pretty accurate description." The familiar voice said. Off in the distance coming from the North end of the street was Glimmer and a figure that the group did not recognize. Behind them were a few Night Moon soldiers. Some were ninjas, some were Glimmer's followers. The entire group gazed in complete surprise and a little fear when they witnessed Glimmer marching towards them. Adora and Bow in particular were shocked from Glimmer's wardrobe change. Bow stood up and joined Adora as they both took a few steps towards Glimmer. Around twenty feet apart, they all stopped. Glimmer was the first to speak.

"And here I thought you two had forgotten about me…"

Meanwhile, back at Brett's quarters in the Fright Zone…

Just as Scorpia surprised Brett, A mysterious silhouette came into the light revealing Catra.

"Catra…?" Brett muttered. He then shook his head, "okay, seriously, does everybody think they have free reign to just waltz into my quarters?" Brett complained. Catra walked right passed him, flicking his nose.

"I'm the second in command, I have free reign over everything." Catra then moved over to Scorpia and Entrapta and motioned for Scorpia to get off. Scorpia lifted herself off Entrapta while Catra flexed her claws and put a row of her claws against Entrapta's neck.

"So, you're one of the princesses that invaded the Fright Zone, huh?" Catra inquired, pushing her claws close to Entrapta's neck, her skin bulging under the claws. Entrapta blinked at Catra and then gazed at her claws.

"Oh, wow!" Entrapta squealed as she used her hair to grab Catra's hand and pull it towards her face to inspect it closer. Catra protested, but Entrapta ignored her, saying, "fascinating… you seem to be some kind of humanoid feline. Oh, wow, would you mind if I studied your anatomy? Do you have feline instincts in addition to anatomical features, or-" Entrapta began before Catra hissed angrily at her. "Oh, wow! You hiss, too?" Entrapta inquired. Catra growled.

"Answer my question! What are you still doing here in the Fright Zone?" Catra demanded. Entrapta blinked at Catra a few more times and explained that she was waiting for her friends to come back and get her. Upon viewing her time in the Fright Zone, Entrapta concluded that she had been there too long and that her friends had abandoned her. Catra exploited this sense of treachery that Entrapta felt and coaxed her into joining the Rebellion. After very few words of persuasion, Entrapta quickly agreed.

Scorpia then escorted her to a large cell where the Horde could keep an eye on her. Although Entrapta quickly agreed to join the Horde, she was still somewhat of an anomaly. As such, she was to be kept in her cell until trust was completely built. However, Catra did allow Entrapta to have free reign to research and build whatever technological marvels she wanted to her heart's desire. As Scorpia was getting Entrapta set up, Brett and Catra walked into the room to see what Entrapta had done. She had already built a four legged robot that she named Emily. To show off her invention, Entrapta had it fire one of its lasers which left a crater in one of the walls. Brett and Catra switched glances between each other and Entrapta who stood there, grinning with her eyes closed.

"The princesses have no idea what they've left behind…"

Meanwhile, back at Elberon…

"Gl...Glimmer?" Adora muttered as she gazed at the new Glimmer with astonishment and terror. A myriad of thoughts were going through Adora and Bow's minds. As much as they wanted to see Glimmer once again, they were abhorred by what she had done to this city and its inhabitants.

"Gosh, Adora, you look like you've seen a ghost." Glimmer said, facetiously. Bow spoke next.

"Glimmer, what are you doing here? What did you do to this city?" Bow inquired. Glimmer scoffed and looked away. She scanned the area, admiring the corpses and destruction that she and Night Moon had sewn.

"I was hoping that answer was obvious." Glimmer said, narrowing her eyes at Bow. She began pacing around, keeping an eye on the group, "With the help of Void and the Night Moon army, we retook Elberon. We did what the Rebellion couldn't do!" Glimmer growled. Bow and Adora switched glances between each other and Glimmer. Brittni stood a little off to the right, while Arya was posted near the left of the group.

"But, Glimmer… you didn't just kill soldiers, you killed civilians." Adora snapped. Glimmer stopped her pacing and took a few more steps towards Adora, around six feet away.

"Civilians? Civilians?! There's no such thing as a Horde civilian! Every single one of them has worked towards destroying us. None of them are innocent! They all deserved worse than death!" Glimmer snapped back. Adora and Bow shuddered. They were at a complete loss of words from what Glimmer had been saying.

"Glimmer, how could you say that? What's happened to you?" Bow demanded.

"What's happened is that I'm finally not withheld by the Rebellion and their ridiculous rules of warfare. The Rebellion is soft. They don't have the nerve or the strength to do what needs to be done in order to save Etheria! If I was still in the Rebellion, we'd be sitting around the Bright Moon 'war room' sipping tea while my mother tells us why we shouldn't attack the Horde." Glimmer was shouting at this point. Her sclera turned black and her eyes began glowing. Adora and Bow were beginning to be terrified of her presence, as they could see the rage seething through her.

"Glimmer, please… we were doing so good with the Princess Alliance. We were starting to make a difference. Please… Please come back." Adora begged. Glimmer simply glared at Adora in reply.

"Go back? Go back?! To the woman that signed my death sentence?!" Glimmer demanded, indignantly.

"Your Highness!" Arya protested, stepping towards Glimmer. Glimmer fixed her eyes on Arya.

"General Arya. If my mother sent you, she must be really desperate." Glimmer scoffed.

"Princess Glimmer… I have a confession to make. Arya said, lowly. Glimmer cocked her eyebrow at Arya and folded her arms.

"And that is?" Glimmer demanded. Arya took a deep breath and let out a dramatic sigh.

"Your mother didn't send that message to Hordak…" Arya said. Glimmer eyed Arya suspiciously.

"Is that so? Well, who did?" Glimmer demanded. Arya looked down for a few moments, letting a few tears stream out of her eyes. The moment was so intense and silent that everyone could almost hear the teardrops as they collided with the cobblestone road. Finally after these few moments of anxiety, Arya raised her head and gazed at Glimmer, confidently.

"I did it. I sent the message. I'm sorry, Princess Glimmer…" Arya then dropped to her knees, "believe me when I say, I am so sorry…" Arya admitted, somberly.

All three factions that were present were completely silent. Brittni and Viktor were out of the loop, so they didn't exactly understand what Arya was talking about, but Brittni understood enough that Arya had betrayed her. Adora and Bow did not expected Arya to be so quick to mention her betrayal. Void and the Night Moon soldiers stood there, almost apathetic to this news. Glimmer stood there, shuddering heavily. All of that anger that Glimmer had felt towards her mother; it was actually misplaced this entire time.

One might expect at this time for a person receiving this news about themselves to begin crying. This was not one of those moments, however. Glimmer was indeed at a loss for words. But her speechlessness was not a matter of sadness,. It was a matter of fury and rage. Glimmer's cheeks began turning red, and the dark purple aura surrounding her began emanating in a rapid expansion around her. Glimmer started with a low growl that evolved into an almost animalistic roar.

Glimmer brandished both her hands at Arya and Arya began to be surrounded by the dark purple aura. Arya was lifted up, and became limp, as if she were surrendering herself to Glimmer. The painful electrical surges began storming through Arya's body. She began screaming as she writhed in pain.

"If… this… will… satisfy… you… then… do it… kill me…" Arya managed to choke out. Adora and Bow were still too stunned to move, but Adora managed to shout something.

"Glimmer! Stop! This isn't you! Please, don't do this!" Adora begged. Glimmer turned her head slowly towards Adora as though her neck were a rusty gear that was struggling to move another gear.

"This is me." Glimmer muttered, coldly. And with her power, Glimmer used the aura to throw Arya against the defensive wall of Elberon. Arya's body left a deep crack and the dust and concrete shot out of the wall, showing just how much force Glimmer used in throwing Arya. Glimmer then pulled Arya back and started throwing her around at different market kiosks, completely thrashing them. Wood splinters and concrete chunks began flying around with Adora, Bow, Brittni, and Viktor shielding their eyes.

Glimmer then pulled Arya towards herself to admire her handiwork. Arya had become bloodied and beaten. Even her armor was bent out of proportion. Arya choked out some blood and once again apologized.

"I'm… sorry…" Arya choked out. Glimmer simply grinned devilishly at her.

"Don't be sorry… you helped me become this." Glimmer said, coldly. Glimmer then tightened her fists together. A crunching noise came from Arya's body which determined her fate. Glimmer then absorbed the dark purple aura back into her body and watched as Arya's lifeless body fell to the floor. Glimmer stared coldly at Arya. Adora and Bow were at a complete loss of words. Brittni, during this time, managed to grab Viktor and begin sneaking away. But as they were sneaking away, they stared in horror at Arya's fate.

"Glimmer…!" Bow shouted as he switched glances between Arya's corpse and Glimmer's profile, "why? Why are you doing this?" Bow demanded. Glimmer immediately turned to Bow and glared at him.

"I don't need to explain myself any further! We'll leave your precious little Rebellion alone if you stay out of our way. Now if you'll excuse me, I have the rest of this city to conquer." Glimmer sneered. As Glimmer began walking towards Void, a sword was brandished at her.

"For the Honor of Grayskull!" Adora shouted. She then began her dramatic change into She-Ra. The sword then found itself under Glimmer's neck.

"You're not going to hurt anyone, anymore…" Adora threatened. Glimmer was a bit surprised by this uncharacteristic move of Adora, but then became amused. This amusement was manifested by an evil chuckle that evolved into a full blown laugh. She then turned to Adora, grinning. Adora was glaring.

"Is this what you really want to do?" Glimmer inquired.

"No…" Adora admitted, "I would never want to fight you… but if it means protecting others, I will." Adora said. Glimmer then narrowed her eyes as she kept her grin. The dark purple aura around her fists began glowing darker.

"Well, then, I guess it's time to see who's the stronger princess…"
