Peaceful Arrival with Danger Close By
The five young group venture off and managed to arrive within the flowery kingdom expecting to see how colorful with all the flowers and trees, and Mei is showing off some of the gadgets she brought along for the journey which Bow was taken an immediate liking.
"No way, these boots can make you stick onto any surface like a spider?" Bow asked exciting looking at the boots.
"Yep, these babies are strong to keep you in place with the strength of twenty men combined and the amazing part is they haven't blown up yet!" Mei explained cheerfully.
"Why would they explode?" Glimmer asked, worry a little.
"Oh, well, that's because most of the inventions I make would end up exploding up right in my face like and the explosions can also be three times bigger than myself even with my sisters' help." Mei explained causally.
"How the Hell are you still alive!" Glimmer and Bow asked gasping.
"Mei has always been very interested in making new inventions that could help others or just for her own fun." Deku chuckled.
"Aw, you know me so well!" Mei giggled hugging the black box between her breasts.
"I'm also glad to finally get out from the Dryl kingdom to see what the other kingdoms are like, there were only so much data back home and now this can be good opportunity." Mei looked around seeing the trees, but they look a little weird for some reason.
"Hey Deku, have you been to the Plumeria before?" Bow asked curious.
"Only a couple of times with my grandmother, the last time I've been there was a year ago and I have to say the place is wonderful." Deku explained.
"Did you also make any friends there?" Glimmer asked curious.
"Two friends and I even got along with the princess there too, she's really open to meeting new people too." Deku answered.
"Well, that just makes negotiation with her smoother than I hope." Glimmer relieved to hear that.
"Just to warn you, she and the rest of the kingdom do not like violence though getting the kingdom join the rebellion is going to be hard." Deku informed.
"I'm sure we can convince them help with the defense because Perfuma needs to know how important it is to fight to protect the peace they live in." Glimmer stated.
"Then I'm sure you can do it with how strong hearted you are for this alliance." Deku smiled brightly causing Glimmer to blush and her heart is racing.
"(Whoa, did my heart just go faster for this guy?)" Glimmer thought surprised at herself.
"Hey Deku, did the kingdom look so dark and life fading from right before your eyes?" Mei asked looking ahead of the group.
"No, it was nothing like that. Why do you… ask?" Deku became shocked as he and the others are seeing what Mei is talking about.
They have arrived in the flower kingdom Plumeria which should be lively, and it does look like it with the people being cheerfully like the kids playing together, but they made them shock is what the surroundings as it looks like the plants and the trees' colors are slowly fading like they're dying.
"This was… never like this before." Deku said, not sure what to make of this.
"Wow. Mom didn't say anything about all the plants dying." Glimmer kneeled to a wilting flower.
"I don't think she knows." Bow worried.
"Hmm, do you think the plants are dying because someone is doing some insane experiments without the princess's permission and is seeking revenge for not being allow to do something amazing." Mei guessed.
"That's a bit exaggerated." Glimmer sweatdropped from Mei's words.
"But this does seem like something that is unnatural with how the plants are dying so sudden. Right, Adora?" Deku asked, but he got no respond.
"Wait, where is Adora?" Deku asked concern for the girl.
"Right here!" Adora answered as she arrives to the group still in her She-Ra form and holding the wagon with one hand above her head.
"Ready to make a good impression in this kingdom?" Adora asked looking confident.
"Are you gonna be She-Ra the entire time we're here?" Glimmer asked, worry about this a little.
"I think this could be a good experiment to see if this form can drain energy from your body like stamina and it appears you're doing fine so far." Mei looked around the tall muscle girl.
"Well, I do feel fine and still full of energy." Adora conformed.
"But I think you shouldn't go using that form so often, relying on your power too much can make you make a mistake." Deku concerned for the newly She-Ra girl.
"It's fine. I told Queen Angella I would. Besides, people like me better as She-Ra." Adora grinned and juggle the wagon a bit while making sure not to drop the supplies.
"Could Adora do this?" Adora chuckled.
"Hmm. Yep. Very useful to our mission." Glimmer said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.
"I am learning so much!" Mei giggled while writing all this down in her notebook.
"Hey, guys. What is that?" Bow asked pointing at something he just saw.
Everyone turn to what Bow is looking at and saw a some raising from the trees, and it looks to be very far away from the kingdom.
"Pretty sure there were never smokes here." Deku stated.
"Must be coming from the Horde camp." Adora guessed mostly from the info they got from the meeting earlier.
"You're here!" A young woman said cheerfully getting the group's attention.
"Oh, that must be Princess Perfuma!" Mei recognized from the updates on the other kingdoms over the years with her older sisters.
Perfuma has tanned skin, a slim-fit body structure, freckles on her cheeks and shoulders, brown eyes and wavy, waist-length pale blonde hair. She has flowers decorating the back of her hair, little ones sprinkled throughout. She wears She wears a pink flower tiara, the flowers mostly on the sides and back of her head, thickening as they go back, and a vine in the front. She wears a pink sundress with a green, long-sleeved shawl that falls off her shoulders. Her footwear consists of pink sandal-like boots. Perfuma also has pink arm guards, the green shawl and sandal-like boots. Breasts sizes: BB-cup.
"Princess Perfuma. I'm Commander Glimmer of—" Glimmer's introduction was cut off when Perfuma suddenly made a bouquet of flowers appeared in her hand.
Perfuma has also made flower crowns appeared on Bow and Mei's head to their shock and amazement.
"Ooh, I get a hat!" Bow smiled.
"That was so cool!" Mei screamed of excitement and zooms toward Perfuma.
"Hey there, my name is Mei Shield and I'm the youngest princess from the kingdom of Dryl! It's an honor to meet you and I hope you don't mind if I ask you some questions about your power." Mei greeted strongly and probably too exciting.
"Whoa, more visitors from another kingdom!" One tall and hippy old surprised.
"How wonderful to meet you!" Perfuma smiled and shake hands with Mei.
"But wait, if you're from Dryl and here does that mean the Emerald Knight is here as well?" Perfuma asked guessing.
"I'm here, Princess Perfuma." Deku walked up to the princess of Plumeria.
"Oh my stars, I knew the day would come that you would come visit our wonderful kingdom again and I'm sure Ibara would be happy to see you again!" Perfuma smiled and hug Deku so suddenly.
"Oh, oh, it's v-very nice to s-see you again, you highest!" Deku stuttered with his face turning red.
"Please, no need for the formality. Call me Perfuma as everyone does when we're all friends!" Perfuma insisted.
"Someone get Ibara here, tell her Deku is here." Perfuma ordered one lovely young woman who nodded and left the scene.
"We also brought one girl who became the new She-Ra!" Mei mentioned bluntly and pointed at Adora.
"New She-Ra?" Perfuma confused at first until one second later turn to see She-Ra gasping of excitement.
"Oh my, everyone! Look quick!" Perfuma pointed at Adora and the Plumeria citizens gathers around Adora.
"Uh, hello?" Adora greeted nervously.
"The universe has heard our pleas and sent the legendary She-Ra to help us save our home." Perfuma relieved and the people cheers.
"But didn't that over positive girl say this one is the new She-Ra?" One old man asked, wondering if he heard that right.
Deku heard that as well and decided to talk to Perfuma so she doesn't get worried about Adora or put some pressure on the girl, but he can also understand that these people are a big fan of the She-Ra legend like how he is a fan from what his grandmother told him and the powers the other princesses have.
"What mean is that Adora has now picked up the mental and responsibility of being She-Ra to protect Etheria as the last one did." Deku explained.
"How wonderful, it would seem the universe didn't want the legacy to die!" Perfuma excited as she looks at Adora.
Adora became nervous a little more though saw Deku who gave her the look of try to be positive to the people while Bow just gave her a thumb up, probably his own way to her she's going to be fine. She clears her throat and look toward the people of in a brave expression.
"We heard about the blockade, and we've come to help. We brought food and supplies for you." Adora gestured at the wagon.
"We welcome you to Plumeria, new She-Ra of this era!" Perfuma greeted.
"Huh, princess-I mean Perfuma, her name is Adora." Deku corrected.
"What exactly is going on here?" Adora asked whispering to Deku, then suddenly felt something grabbing onto her arm and saw a baby clinching onto her arm.
"These people are a real fan of She-Ra, the legends of the She-Ra before you." Deku answered.
"Come with me, I'll show you around. You're gonna love it." Perfuma offered to give Adora a tour of her kingdom.
Adora quickly took the baby off her arm and tries to give the baby back to the parents though couldn't really see which one of the pair are the parents, so she just gave the baby to a random person and hurry to follow the others. Luckily, that random person gave the baby to the real parents.
Perfuma lead the group through a peaceful looking path while Mei is writing some things of her new surroundings and taking pictures with her tablet.
"This place is still peaceful as I remember." Deku complimented.
"Thank you! Our people have lived here in tranquility for thousands of years. We're known for our beautiful flowers, our majestic trees." Perfuma said as they have arrived at the towering tree with cherry blossom petals.
"Oh, is that giant jewel in the tree is the source of your power?" Mei asked looking at pink jewel at the bottom and center of the tree.
"Yes, this is the Heart-Blossom, the center of our kingdom, and the source of all my magical powers." Perfuma gestured her hand on the tree and a dozen pretty little flowers appeared.
"At least this tree is fine. What happened to everything else?" Bow asked concern.
"Yeah, the plants look like they're dying and losing their colors." Deku mentioned feeling worried about this.
"We're going through a little rough patch, but I'm sure the universe will right itself soon." Perfuma explained being positive and smile.
"Are you sure there isn't anything we should do about the situation, especially if this may involve the Horde being near here." Deku said strongly.
"I see you still have that big heart as ever, Deku." A girl's voice said walking up to the group.
"Huh?" Deku confused a little as she turns to the girl, then he starts to remember a little.
"It's been a year since you last came here, I'm so glad that my prey for your safety has been heard." The girl smiled at Deku.
"Oh yeah, Ibara! I hardly recognize you!" Deku surprised with a smile.
"It's nice to see that you haven't forgotten about me, Emerald Warrior." The girl now revealed as Ibara smiled.
Ibara is a girl of medium height with green, thorn-covered vines for hair, one set wrapped around her forehead a couple of times in the shape of a cross. She wears a plain white robe and black knee-high boots. Breasts sizes: F-cup.
"You look a little different than before, I think you've gotten taller, and your hair is longer too." Deku pointed out the traits on Ibara.
"Thank you, I've been taking care of my healthy and strengthen my vine hair from the advice you gave me when you came here." Ibara nodded with a cute smile.
"Whoa, your hair is really made of vines. That is so cool, I bet you can do all kinds of things like swinging on trees and trapping people without hurting them!" Bow complimented.
"That is quite right, but I didn't think thought of using my power in a way until Deku came to our home a year ago and gave me some tips." Ibara gestured to Deku.
"I was able to use my power to help protect my people from anyone trying to do harm." Ibara stated.
"If that's the case then why is there a Horde camp over there?" Adora asked pointing at the smoke.
"I'm afraid that is something I alone cannot do." Ibara sighed, disappointing at herself.
"Worry not, Ibara. For we have the legacy of She-Ra here and one final came after a thousand years since the last one was known!" Perfuma assured happily and looked up at Adora.
"Uh, yeah, I'm sure I can help heal your land." Adora nodded.
"Such wonderful news indeed, then we must celebrate of you taking up the mental!" Ibara clapped her hands.
"Celebrate?" Adora confused.
(With Shadow Weaver)
Shadow Weaver groan tiresome feeling that her body is not what it uses to be at the moment until she made her way to the dark red Runestone, placing her hand on the giant crystal though seems to be not doing anything.
"You will not refuse me!" Shadow Weaver growled as the red gem on her forehead glows feeling her strength returning.
"Shadow Weaver." Hordak appeared on the communication screen in Shadow Weaver's private corner.
"Lord Hordak!" Shadow Weaver surprised and quickly steady herself.
"You have disobeyed my orders." Hordak glared angry.
"I've done no such thing, Lord Hordak. My will is your will." Shadow Weaver bowed, trying to play it cool.
"Then explain to me why you've requisitioned more troops to look for one missing soldier. A soldier I ordered you to give up on." Hordak asked while petting on Imp.
Shadow Weaver clutches her fists that Lord Hordak is being a fool for not seeing what Adora could become.
"Finding Adora is crucial to the Horde's mission—" But Hordak would not hear of her excuse as he slams his fist causing the Imp to jump off.
"Our mission is to kill the Whispering Woods so we can march on Bright Moon. Our mission is to destroy the princesses and their ridiculous rebellion." Hordak reminded in anger.
"You are distracted, Shadow Weaver. Our ground troops demand your full attention. The siege on Plumeria has carried on for too long. You will give the order to increase power until victory is achieved. And never forget, I gave you your magical power and at my slightest whim, I can take it away." Hordak threatened at that last part.
"Understand?" Hordak asked.
"Of course, Lord Hordak." Shadow Weaver answered with her eyes slightly narrow.
Once Hordak cut off the feed, Shadow Weaver let out a frustrating scream that allowed her shadows to consume the whole room.
(Plumeria)
The people of Plumeria have gone all out upon celebrating the welcoming of Adora becoming the new She-Ra which means them very happy, and even offering her some food and more stuff that seems like overwhelming a little.
"No, no, no, it's okay. You need this food more than we do." Adora said as she is sure that she can't all of this.
"I'm sure you've been told a lot of stories about your predecessor." Perfuma smiled.
"Uh, not much. Just about her being the protector of Etheria and one was last seen a thousand years ago." Adora shrugged.
"Then prepared to be amazes of the stories we have of the legendary warrior!" Perfuma smiled.
Deku looks around like he is trying to find something or most specifically someone upon the people.
"That's odd, I don't see her here." Deku said to himself.
