She-Ra & The Princesses of Power (c) Dreamworks Animation

:No Princess Left Behind:

In the darkness of the Fright Zone a lone shimmering light shone in the darkness of Shadow Weavers sanctum. It was from the Sword of Protection and Catra laughed as she admired her reflection in the swords blade.

"Check this thing out." She laughed gloatingly "You've got to admit, Shadow Weaver, in a single mission, I inflicted more damage on the Rebellion than anyone else." She swung the blade round testing it out "I succeeded where even you failed."

Shadow Weaver was recharging her powers from the Black Garnet. As she did she listened to her so called failed protege gloat her achievement. Suddenly Hordaks face appeared on the screen in her sanctum.

"Shadow Weaver." He called.

"My Lord." She greeted pushing Catra aside as she addressed her lord and master.

"I commend you on the capture of the Princess of Bright Moon." Hordak addressed. "Queen Angella has been given until the mornings moonrise to surrender herself to our forces."

"Thank you, Lord Hordak. I thought you would be please with my work." Shadow Weaver bowed humbly. Whilst Catra just looked in surprise.

"You have proven your worth to me." Hordak admitted. "Today." The transmission ended.

"Your worth?" Catra scoffed in question "I'm the one who brought back the Princess of Bright Moon! Not you!"

"You're under my command, Force Captain." Shadow Weaver explained. "Therefore anything you manage to do right is credited to me." She took the sword from the Force Captain.

"So, I do all the work and you get the glory?" Catra questioned again in an annoyed tone.

"Sometimes that just the way of things." Shadow Weaver said putting a hand to Catra's just walked away at that statement before Shadow Weaver spoke again.

"Oh and if you truly succeeded, then why isn't the Tennyson boy in chains before me?" She then asked causing Catra to flinch.

"Really you didn't seem to think he was much of a threat?" Catra replied then smirked. "Did your failed mission to get Adora in Mystacor change your mind about him?"

Shadow Weaver just glared at that remark. "Don't test me!" She said harshly. "The boy may have bested me before but even someone of his power cannot reach the Fright Zone, and need I remind you of your negligence to capture him as well." Catra just squinted at that notion and walked away.

"Yeah well when I get Tennyson's watch then we'll see who gets credit." She growled to herself.

In the chamber with Shadow Weaver was an energy restraint cage and inside it was Glimmer. Restrained by bolts of red energy generated by the groaned as she awoke to find herself face to face with Shadow Weaver herself, she was now in the Fright Zone.

"Welcome to the Fright Zone, Princess!" Shadow Weaver echoed as the whole room and the Princess were consumed in shadows. Glimmer could only despair.

Bright Moon:

Back in Bright Moon word had spread of Glimmer, Bow and Rooks capture at the Kingdom of Snows. In the council Chamber Angella sat at her chair in grief. She had been given an ultimatum by Hordak, if she doesn't surrender to the Horde she would never see her daughter set free. But if she did that would mean the Rebellion would be left without a leader.

Ben and Adora now back in their normal attire were standing outside the council room. They knew the Queen was in grieving and somehow blamed herself for the whole predicament. Adora however blamed herself as well, but Ben knew this was no ones fault but the Hordes, and he and she were deeply concerned for their friends safety but he knew Rook could handle himself in a tight spot.

"Your Majesty?" Adora addressed as she and Ben entered the room.

"I should never have let her leave this castle. And now, I'm faced with an impossible position." Angella said. "As leader of the Rebellion, how can I surrender myself to our enemy? And yet, as a mother, how do I…"

"Your majesty." Ben then said as she looked to him. "The hardest choices are never the easiest to make, but this isn't your fault you couldn't have known the Horde would stoop to the low of crashing the ball."

"Be that as it may, I was negligent of how cunning they were." Angella then stood up and came to a decision. "I'm going to accept Hordak's terms. Glimmer is all I have."

"Do what!" Ben exclaimed in shock not believing the queen was considering this.

"You can't." Adora agreed "We have no guarantee the Horde will hold up their end of the bargain. We could end up losing you too."

"Adoras right and from my experience theres no negotiating with tyrants like Hordak, they'll offer up a truce but then stab you in the back the first chance they get." Ben stated. "Let me and her lead a rescue mission to get Glimmer and the others back, Adora knows the inside of the Fright Zone so we have the element of surprise!"

"A rescue attempt is too risky." Angella admitted. "If we had She-Ra we might have a chance, but without the Sword of Protection…"

Adora remembered that Catra took the source of her power and She-Ra with her after the Prom and she clenched her fist at that notion.

"There has to be another way! We can't just give up!" Adora said.

"Yeah and don't forget you may not have the sword, but you still have me!" Ben then gestured to the Omnitrix. "A guy who pretty much has an entire armada on his wrist!"

"Benjamin even with your powers, I am not sure if you could even get into the Fright Zone let alone get out." Angella said.

"No disrespect your majesty but I never met an alien stronghold I couldn't bust into." Ben reminded.

"Ben and I can rescue them. I know the Fright Zone and with Bens powers we'll find a way to get them back." Adora then said.

"How are you going to do that?" Angella questioned still in doubt.

"I... I don't know yet. But we'll think of something." Adora then said though she felt doubtful inside. "I promise. We'll bring them home."

"We won't rest until we get them back." Ben then agreed. "I'm not sure if you know this your highness, but where I'm from I don't leave friends behind no matter what the risk."

With that the two bowed as they exited the council room to think of a plan of attack. Leaving the Queen to grieve though she had her doubts that the two could succeed in getting her daughter back, she could sense the determination in Bens voice and his confidence in Adora's plan. But would it work?

In the hallways Adora walked a little faster than Ben and suddenly she broke down sobbing. Ben could see that Adora was still beating herself up over what happened.

"Ben what are we going to do, if I hadn't been so focused on stopping Catra maybe…" "Adora." Ben interrupted her sobbing.

"This isn't on you, Catra knew how to get to you." He said. "Besides you said it yourself we are going to get our friends back."

"But aren't you worried about Rook?" She questioned. "I mean you don't know what the Horde is capable of interrogating information out of him?"

"Yeah I am worried about our friends and I'm just as scared about their safety as you are." Ben admitted. "But we need to be strong, no matter what the risks we will save them, and don't worry about Rook he knows how to handle himself in a tight spot."

Adora did start to perk up a little by Bens words. "But we need a plan to get into the Fright Zone and we also have to consider that Shadow Weaver will use our friends as bait to draw you to the Fright Zone on her terms and turf." Ben said. "Its gonna take more than just the two of us."

She knew that Ben was right, even with his powers and her strategic knowledge of the Fright Zone it would take more than that to get their friends out. However in that moment the wind blew and revealed a flurry of red flowers showering them. Adora caught one in her hand and was bewildered then the two looked to the window.

Standing/sitting there were Mermista, Perfuma, Sea Hawk and Entrapta. Adora and Ben were completely surprised by their sudden appearance.

"Huh? What are you all doing here?" Adora asked bewildered.

"We're the Princess Alliance." Mermista said. "And the Horde took one of our own."

Perfuma nodded in agreement as she addressed her fiends. "We're ready for our first mission."

"You sure this won't be easy?" Ben reminded the group.

"The most treacherous of seas is never easy to navigate but we persist none the less! ADVENTURE!" Sea Hawk stated.

Adora just looked with more determined eyes as she looked to Ben who nodded in agreement. He knew more than anyone that this kinda thing needed more than two people it needed a team.

And so as Adora gave a confident smile. "Let's go get our friends back!"

Fright Zone:

In the Fright Zone two soldiers were escorting a certain Revonnahgander to an interrogation room, his tie was ruined and his shirt unbuttoned at the collar his suit was slightly muddy and torn. They soldiers then placed him down and restrained him in energy the darkness emerged Shadow Weaver who was charged with interrogating the Plumber. Rook just looked with glaring eyes.

"You and your partner intrigue me, upon your arrival to Etheria I sensed there was something more to the two of you." Shadow Weaver said but Rook chose to remain silent. "You will tell me everything you know of yourself and the Tennyson boy!"

"You will learn nothing from me!" Rook defied Shadow Weaver then nodded and had a guard shock Rook with his shock stick causing him to cry out in pain.

"Tell me what you know and I shall let you live!" Shadow Weaver demanded.

Rook groaned as he faced the witch again. "Rook Blonko Plumber ID number 01256 Delta 70!"

The guard shocked him with the stick again causing Rook to cry out in pain for longer this time.

"Hm your clearly trained in the ways of resisting interrogation boy." Shadow Weaver said as she walked around the table behind him. "I admire that, but this is not the training of a Horde soldier, you clearly fight well so your suffering isn't necessary why not join us."

Rook just looked behind to face Shadow Weaver. "And be a part of something that brings terror to millions of innocent sentient life forms! Become some kind of puppet like you did to Adora!" Rook growled. "I believe as the humans would say, go to hell!"

The witch could see that the stranger to Etheria was not going to crack so easily. However there were other means of getting information from him.

"I didn't want to resort to this but you leave me no choice!" Shadow Weaver used her magic in her hands and placed them on Rooks head he shouted out in pain as he felt the witch's magic.

Shadow Weaver began to see visions of his memories his time on Etheria, meeting the princesses. But what interested her the most were his memories before Etheria, she saw visions of a planet not like her own and his memories of it being attacked by alien beings like Vilgax, the Incursians, and even seen him fighting alongside Ben against the likes of Malware and Khyber.

She broke the connection and was pushed to the back of the room whilst Rook was knocked to the ground breathing heavily. However whilst on the ground he noticed a stray nail close to him.

The Horde soldiers said nothing as Shadow Weaver regained her composure. "Take him back to the cells!" She ordered and with that the two Horde soldiers picked Rook up and took him away.

Leaving the Horde second in command alone, to comprehend what she had seen. "So what I have suspected proves true!"

The Horde Prisons:

Deep within the complex was the main prisons for the Horde, it was a circular complex with cells lining the walls. The centre had a main control centre for the lifts and the cells. On one platform Kyle was lowered down to a deck and in his hand was a tray of rations. He approached a cell that was currently occupied by Bow who's prom attire was also ruined.

Kyle pressed some keys on the control console revealing Bow squatting in his cell. He glared the moment he saw Kyle.

"Dinner rations prisoner." Kyle addressed as he moved the tray through a rectangular hole in the force shield. Bow just glared at the sight of that.

Suddenly the hole closed and Kyle dropped the food tray crashing to the ground the shield did catch his hand a little burning it.

"OW!" He cried as he sucked his finger and left the cell, but before he could.

"Hey, what's your name?" Bow asked.

Kyle was more than surprised that the prisoner was talking to him. "Me? You're talking to me?"

"Sure? Is that all right?" Bow wondered.

"Uh, I guess, but no one ever talks to me." Kyle admitted. "I'm Kyle."

"Hey, Kyle, I'm Bow." Bow greeted in a friendly manner. "Can you do me a favour? Can you tell me where they're holding the princess?" He then asked.

Kyle looked a little shocked and terrified by that request. "P-Princess?"

"She's my best friend. No one will let me talk to her or even tell me if she's okay." Bow explained showing he was very worried about his friend.

"I'm sure she's fine." Kyle said confidently, but then again wasn't sure. "Maybe, or she's not I don't know." trying to look tough.

"Do you know where she is?" Bow then asked standing up. "Or what about my friend Rook?"

"No, that kind of information is classified!" Kyle said rather defensively. "They wouldn't tell me." He said silently.

"You have to help me get a message to her!" Bow said practically begging.

"I, uh.. I better be leaving now." Kyle said backing away not wanting to get into anymore trouble.

"No, wait!" Bow called.

"I like your shirt!" Kyle called before he was lowered away on the platform.

"Kyle!" Bow called but it was already too late he was gone.

Then suddenly moments later two guards returned with Rook restrained in their arms, one opened the cell then tossed the plumber into the cell with Bow. They closed the force shield and left.

"Rook!" Bow exclaimed as he moved over to his friend. "Rook are you okay?" The young Plumber groaned as he managed to get up onto his knees. Then he looked to his comrade.

"I am alright." Rook said.

"What did they do to you? Did you see Glimmer?" Bow then asked frantically.

"To answer your questions they tried to interrogate me for information." Rook answered. " I do not know what Shadow Weaver did but for a moment it felt like she was in my mind." Bow looked even more worried than before. "But no I saw no sign of Glimmer they must be holding her somewhere else."

"So what are we going to do?" Bow asked in worry.

Rook then opened his hands to reveal the stray nail he found in the interrogation he looked at his concerned friend.

"We get out of here and hope our friends can find us." He addressed and set to work.

Bright Moon:

Meanwhile in Glimmers room Ben and Adora had devised a plan to rescue her and their friends. The current members of the Princess Alliance watched and listened to the plan unfold.

"Okay team eyes front, heres our plan." Ben began and let Adora explain.

"Okay. This is the Horde prison." Adora used one of Glimmers spare boots as the prison model. "Glimmer and Bow are being held inside."

She then pulled out some objects that she decided would represent the each of the princesses.

"Entrpata, this perfume bottle is you." She handed Entrapta the perfume bottle "Perfuma, you're the nail polish." Handed Perfuma the nail polish. "Mermista, lipstick."

The sea princess on the other hand was none too pleased about what she had been given to represent her.

"Ew. Do you know what that stuff is made of?" Mermista said before putting a knife down. "I'll be this knife."

Entrapta then used her hair hand to pick up the perfume bottle. "I feel like Perfuma should be the perfume bottle. That makes the most logical sense."

"Maybe I could be a flower." Perfuma said forming a flower in her hand.

"Could I be this miniature painted model of Bow?" Sea Hawk asked holding up what appeared to be miniature models of Bow, Glimmer, Adora, Ben and Rook.

"Wait where did those come from?" Ben asked.

"No! Those represent Bow, Glimmer, Rook and Ben and this one's mine." Everyone looked a little confused and bewildered at the fact there were figures of the five friends.

"Bow made them for us." Adora explained.

"Wow I gotta say he really got my good side." Ben said looking at his model.

Okay, just... Everyone focus!" Adora then said snapping everyone to attention. "Our entry point will be here, near the Horde's scrapyard. It's close to the prison and lightly guarded."

"Perfuma and Entrapta will access the security tower and wait for our signal to disable the lights." Ben explained with the models and the plan shows them in the Fright Zone. Perfuma and Entrapta head to the tower via a plant grown next to it.

"Mermista will access the Fright Zone's sewer system. She'll swim through the pipes into the building and open the door." Adora then explained.

"I'm sorry, Mermista will what?" Mermista asked being a little questionable about the plan.

"Okay, I know it sounds bad, but your'e the only one who can breathe underwater." Adora pointed out.

"Uh why can't he do it?" Mermista then pointed to the Omnitrix bearer in the room. "He's the guy with all the aliens can't he change into one that swims?"

Before Ben could answer Adora spoke up. "Since the Horde took the sword I can't be She-Ra so Ben is the only big gun we have in case theres trouble in the prison."

Mermista just groaned at that notion as in the Fright Zone she lifted up the sewer grate and lowered herself into the sewers.

"Super gross." She groaned.

"I know how you feel sister, try smashing around inside the stomach of a planet killing tick sometime." Ben consoled.

"Sea Hawk,Ben and I will take up position by the entrance." Adora said. The three of us will neutralize any guards on patrol. Entrpata and Perfuma will regroup on our position and the team will enter when Mermista opens the door."

"Then we head inside find out where they're keeping Glimmer, Rook and Bow, kick the bad guys butts, take back the sword and be out faster than you can say Chilli Fries." Ben added.

"Excellent plan. Adventure!" Sea Hawk exclaimed.

"Now we just need a way to get to the Fright Zone, seeing as how it would be a long walk." Ben then pointed out. "And no none of my flyers take passengers."

"I may have a solution to that." Entrapta pointed out.

Soon the group was outside the castle and looking at what looked like a four wheeled orange coloured vehicle, with the logo Max's Plumbing on the side.

"Wait you fixed the truck!" Ben said to Entrapta excitedly.

"Yep I have to say that had to be the toughest thing I ever had to do, but I was able to fix your space vehicle and even add a few upgrades too!" Entrapta said.

"So wait we're gonna drive that into the Fright Zone?" Mermista said unimpressed.

"Yeah I gotta say Ben this isn't what I expected that crashed ship to look like?" Adora said a little doubtfully.

But Ben just developed a knowing smirk on his face and pulled out of his pocket a small remote from his pocket. One that was previously in Rooks Proto tech armour.

"Who said anything about driving." Ben said as he pressed a button and all of a sudden the truck began disassembling and reassembling into something else and soon it was now a futuristic looking space craft.

"Whoa, I take that back." Adora said.

"Whoa!" Mermista said amazed.

"I know it's fascinating and amazing isn't it!" Entrapta said excitedly.

"She's gorgeous!" Sea Hawk admired whimpering.

"Wow not only is Rook sweet, so is his mode of transportation!" Perfuma said much to the confused and knowing looks of everyone else. "Uh cause well he's our friend and all." Perfuma giggled with a little blush.

"Hold on can you even fly this thing?" Mermista wondered as she looked at Ben.

"Well I usually leave the flying to Rook but, hey I've flown space crafts before." Ben said.

Soon everyone was on board, Adora and Ben sat upfront whilst everyone else was riding in the back. Ben activated the ship and soon it flew into the skies, admittedly it took Ben a while to master the controls but it was no different to flying the Rustbucket III.

Fright Zone: The sewers:

Soon in the Fright Zone Mermista was already swimming through the sewer system as planned. Despite her protest. She swam through the waters passing some junk on the way by. A small rat like creature moved along the trash which did spook her a little.

She just groaned as she swam through the disgusting waters, when suddenly. Water came crashing down from a pipe above her making some rather toilet like sounds.

Mermista just growled in anger and the water sloshed around when she did. It only got worse the fan behind her started up and sucked up the water and the suction caught hold of Mermista. Thankfully she managed to get free only for a huge wave of water to push her back again.

The Scrap Yard:

On the surface some guards were standing watch by the entrance door, next to a skiff craft. They didn't even notice an invisible force come up next to a pile of scrap. The cloak dropped to reveal it was Ben in one of his alien forms. It was what looked to be a slim looking salamander with dark purple spots all over his body with a short tail and wore a black helmet with a spiked fin on his head. It had three triangle lenses in colours of blue green and red. The Omnitrix symbol is located on his chest.

Chamalien signalled to his accomplices, Adora and Sea Hawk then appeared next to him and looked to see the two guards guarding the front. After they hid the Proto Truck close by they stood vigilant.

"Mermista should be in place now." Adora said and pulled out a small mirror and used the lights glint to signal their comrades.

On one of the security towers Perfuma kept a close eye out for her friends signal just as a spot light went by. Just then she saw a glint of light.

"Adora's signal." She realised. However when she turned to Entrapta she was too busy looking at the tech in the tower and recording her findings.

"Fright Zone log, day one. I can barely contain my excitement! Hahaha." She removed a panel on the console and used her hair to inspect and rewire a few things. "Hmm, the Horde's using an outdated wiring system." She noted. "It really would work so much better if I just consolidated these conduits and re-routed the current here…"

"Entrapta." Perfuma called and Entrapta popped her head up from her tinkering. "Now would be a good time for those lights."

"Oh right." Entrapta grunted as she pulled on a wire that supposedly was connected to the security lights. The wires were cut and everything went dark but suddenly an alarm sounded off.

In the scrapyard the alarm sounded until it powered down. The guards were alerted by this.

"What happened?" Asked one guard not seeing Adora, Sea Hawk and Chamalien sneak up behind the skiff.

"Okay we go on three." Adora said to which the two nodded. "Ready? One…"

"FORWARD!" Sea Hawk announced alerting the guards and put a rather annoyed look on Adoras and Chamaliens face who just scurried away.

The guards pulled out their shock sticks and charged towards Sea Hawk only for some invisible force to grab the guards arm and shock him with his own shock stick then trip him up to the ground.

"What the?!" Before the other guard could react same invisible force tripped up the guard and knocked him to the Hawk was all but confused but all soon became clear when suddenly reappearing out of nowhere was Chamalien.

Adora then came out looking rather annoyed at Sea Hawk. "I said on three." She said gritting her teeth.

"I got excited." Sea Hawk admitted.

"Seriously dude this requires stealth not jumping in half cocked." Chamalien incident passes and the group approaches the door. Adora knocks on the door awaiting a response. However there was no reply.

"Wheres Mermista?" Sea Hawk asked.

"She's gotta be here by now." Chamalien wondered. "Unless she got held up somewhere in the tunnels?"

"Come on, we need to secure the guards." Adora then suggested and they pulled the guards to the side.

Elsewhere:

Perfuma slid down her vine from the security tower, she needed to meet up with the rest of the group. However she saw she was short one tech princess.

"Entrapta" She called silently. "Entrapta!" She was getting tense so she took a deep breathe and calmed down.

She looked around then heard a beeping noise. She looked behind a Skiff fin to see Entrapta looking over a small robot that seemed to be collecting scrap.

"The subject appears to be harvesting scrap components, possibly for reuse." Entrapta logged and when she tried taking one of the scrap parts in its hand it beeped rather defensively.

"Fascinating." Entrapta breathed in interest.

"Entrapta." She looked to see the flower princess waiting for her. "We're supposed to meet with the others." Perfuma reminded.

"I know, I was waiting for you." Entrapta explained.

"Oh, how very considerate." Perfuma said with a forced smile whilst trying to hide her frustration. "Let's go."

With that they left but when Entrapta was about to walk away the small bot she was studying scurried off in the opposite direction. Entrapta was about to follow until a vine wrapped around her waist. She looked to the other end of said vine to see Perfuma holding it.

"So we don't get separated." Perfuma assured. As the robot left Entrapta could only look in disappointment as she was pulled away by the vine.

Back at the scrap yard Adora and Chamalien had pulled the guards to the side so no one would see them. But the alien had to make sure they wouldn't be seen.

"Now to make sure they don't know we were here." Chamalien said as he slammed the Omnitrix dial and turned into something else.

The alien that stood in his place now was a vampire like being with pale skin and sharp yellow fangs. Wearing a black jumpsuit with a green chest and markings, with black gloves and green fingers with sharp claws. His mask was a spiked mask with head spikes as part of the suit. There were also green flaps under his arms almost like wings. The Omnitrix symbol was located on his stomach.

"Uh what does that one do other than creep me out." Sea Hawk asked and Adora had to agree this new form did creep her out too.

"Watch." Whampire said in a vampire tone.

He removed the helmets of the guards so he could see their faces. He then smacked both their faces to wake them up but before they could react.

"Look into my eyes." Whampire said and a hypnotic feeling came over the two guards as their eyes looked a lot like spirals.

"You will forget that we were ever here, go about your usual patrol." He said to the guards. "Understood?"

"Yes master." The two guards said in a compliant fashion. They stood up and put their helmets back on their heads.

"Off you go." Whampire said waving them away and so they walked away without saying another word.

Adora was more than surprised that the guards just walked away without even saying a word. "Whoa what did you do to them?"

"Simple I hypnotised them." Whampire said simply. "One of the benefits to Whampire's powers"

"Hm ingenious." Sea Hawk complimented. Suddenly Whampire snarled at Sea Hawk and it looked like he was ready to bite his throat until Adora pulled him back.

"BEN WHAT THE HECK!" Adora gritted through her teeth. Just then the Omnitrix timed out and turned Whampire back to Ben.

"Sorry, annoying habit when I'm that form, hard to get rid of." Ben explained apologetically.

"Oh understandable Benjamin." Sea Hawk understood. "No harm done."

Suddenly Adora heard the engine of a skiff craft. She was right it was a skiff piloted by Scorpia. Adora was alerted and so was Ben.

"Take cover!" Ben said quietly and so the two hid behind a pile of scrap but noticed the only person that wasn't with them was a certain sea captain.

He was too busy looking at the door and waiting for Mermista to notice the approaching Force Captain.

"Pst!" Adora called to him.

"Sea Hawk!" Ben called quietly.

Sea Hawk turned round but only to sea Scorpia approaching on her skiff. He didn't have time to run away so as Scorpia disembarked from her craft the shanty singing captain had to come up with a cover story.

"Halt! Who are you?" Scorpia demanded. Sea Hawk turns round and faces the Force Captain.

"Me? I'm the inspector. I'm here to… inspect all the things." He said with a convincing couldn't help but face slap himself no way was Scorpia gonna buy this.

"Inspector?" Scorpia said with a rather unconvinced tone. The mood was tense Sea Hawk was starting to sweat in terror and Ben was about ready to turn into Four Arms and knock out Scorpia to save him. However.

"Inspector, of course!" Scorpia chuckled in realisation. "I must have forgotten you were coming." Scorpia escorted 'the inspector' to her skiff leaving Ben and Adora looking at each other with the same look of disbelief.

"We're long overdue for an inspection, I do have to admit it, but I can assure you we are up to code."

They boarded the Skiff and its engines hummed as they moved away leaving Adora and Ben with their jaws dropped. Just then the small scrap robot scurried by.

"Wow, and I thought the Vreedle Brothers were dumb enough to buy any excuse." Was all Ben could say.

Adora just grabbed Bens jacket and looked at him with a disbelieved face. "Wha...? How did this happen? We had a plan!"

"Actually you kind of lost me at the perfume bottle." The two looked over and saw Entrapta tied up in vines and Perfuma holding what looked like a vine leash to the tied up princess.

"And where have you two been?" Ben then asked.

"I tried to get here sooner but harmonious teamwork with Entrapta can be...a challenge." The flower princess explained and by the tone in her voice she was trying to keep a positive attitude.

"O…kay." Ben said with a wired look.

"This isn't a game. It's the Horde!" Adora reminded. "Glimmer, Rook and Bow are being held captive in this building and now Sea Hawk is gone."

"Adora cool it, yes we had a plan but you can't expect it to go smoothly, we make a plan execute, the plan then expect it to go south." Ben explained to her. "If it does we improvise."

"Ben we can't improvise when we're dealing with the Horde!" Adora explained rather cross.

"I know that this isn't my first rescue mission, I'm just saying we need to be prepared for the unexpected!" Ben explained as calm as he could.

"Okay. All right, everyone calm down." Perfuma got in-between them as she retracted the vines on Entrapta.

"Maybe we could try a simple breathing exercise. Deep calming breaths, hmmmm." All of a sudden alarms blared from the store they were stood in front of them.

"Come on we're going in!" Adora said to the group and as they approached the door they stood ready for a fight. The door opened and stepping out was a rather wet and unhappy looking Mermista.

"Could you not?" She said.

"Mermista?" Ben said in surprise. He sniffed the air and blocked his nose.

"Huh? What happened to you?" Adora asked as the other two princesses looked startled.

"Uh, the sewer happened to me." Mermista said in a high tone as she swatted Entrapta's hair away as it tried to pull something out of its hair.

"Well at least you got here right?" Ben said looking on the bright side.

"Yeah funny, next time you can go sewer diving!" Mermista said a little annoyed.

"Ha you said I'm funny!" Ben caught her out.

"Not literally!" Mermista said getting in Bens face more than annoyed.

"W..we can't waste any more time. Bow, Rook and Glimmer need us." Adora said snapping them back to attention.

With that everyone went past the mermaid princess and hurried inside the compound. Mermista looked a little unappreciated given what she went through to even get here.

"Uh, can I get a thank you?" She asked.

"Thank you." Ben said as he pulled Mermista by the arm through the door.

The group hurried through the door and into the hallways of the base. They soon spotted the shadows of Hordesman approaching. Acting quickly Adora opens another door on the left side wall and everyone hurried inside and the door closed behind them before the guards arrived at the hallway.

"Okay Adora whats next?" Ben asked given her experience.

"We need to get to an information port." Adora relayed to the group. "I'll hack into the data base and identify the cell block Glimmer, Rook and Bow are being held in."

"Right then we spring them out, and get out fast before anyone realises we're here." Ben agreed.

"Hey, where's the geeky princess?" Mermista pointed out and when everyone looked said geeky princess was nowhere to be seen much to Perfuma's irk.

"Okay, she is really putting a crimp in my harmony!" She said with a sob.

"Hey hey easy Perfuma, think positive go to your happy place." Ben insisted.

The flower Princess took a few deep breaths and she seemed to have a much calmer attitude about things. "Yes thank you Ben."Perfuma thanked.

"Don't worry." Adora said "We'll find Entrapta and Sea Hawk and we'll rescue Glimmer, Rook and Bow."

"I don't know, that sounds like a lot." Mermista openly frowned and Ben gave a raised eyebrow.

"But you know me, I'm totally up for anything." Mermista corrected her statement.

"Okay we'll have to split up, I'll go look for Entrapta and Sea Hawk you guys find that information terminal." Ben then suggested.

"What?! Ben no we need you, your our strongest gun. Besides you'll get lost looking for them both" Adora reminded.

Ben knew she was right, they did need him given they were without She-Ra, not to mention he would get lost looking around the vast corridors. Then suddenly he had an idea. He looked at the Omnitrix and knew what to do.

"Well who says I can't do both." Ben said much to everyone's confusion.

He activated the Omnitrix selection dial and selected a certain alien he knew would be best for the job. He slammed down the dial and the light blinded everyone around him. When the light faded the group saw Ben had changed form.

In his place stood an alien the size of a child, with white skin a black and white head and face, large green eyes, large hands with four fingers with stubbed feet three green fins on his head. He wears a green jumpsuit that looked similar to the Omnitrix symbol with black patches under his arms, green sleeves and black ankles. The suit had a black belt with what looked like sensor nodes that also were up his arms. The Omnitrix itself was located on his head.

Upon first seeing him Adora and Mermista looked confused but Perfuma couldn't help but look at him with awning sparkles in her eyes.

"AWWWWW he's so cute!" Perfuma cooed.

"Uh does that do anything other than look cute?" Mermista asked.

"Ladies, meet…" The alien then suddenly split into three copies of himself. "Ditto!"

Adora was taken aback this alien had just split into three versions of himself, Mermista was also surprised as well so was Perfuma.

"Whoa didn't see that coming." Mermista said.

"Huh you can duplicate?" Adora said in surprise.

"You bet we can." the three Ditto's said together which did creep her out.

"Okay fellas listen up." Ditto prime addressed his clones. "We need to find Sea Hawk and Entrapta. I'll stay with the girls."

"You look for Sea Hawk." He pointed to Ditto #2.

"And you look for Entrapta." He pointed to Ditto #3.

"Meet back up with us when you find them and remember don't get caught got it." He then said.

"You got it!" The two clones saluted. With that they exited the small room and made their way through the corridors looking for their missing friends.

"Hold on so are they all you?" Adora asked.

"Oh yea same mind same me." Ditto prime answered.

"So how will they find their way back to us?" Adora asked.

"I'll explain later come on let's find that info port." Ditto prime then said and so the group went to look.

Elsewhere:

Entrapta had just gained access to a computer port in a far off corridor and was looking at the data and information.

"Fright Zone log, day one continued." Entrapta logged as her hair clicked on the keypads. "Keypads appear in every corridor and are capable of giving status updates on multiple systems."

Just then the same scrap collecting robot rolled by and Entrapta had just spotted it.

"Wow. Hello there little guy." And naturally she decided to follow it.

The small robot went into a room. Entrapta laughed as she found the small robot. However just then a larger orbed Horde drone emerged from the trash.

"Well, hello to you too." Entrapta chuckled nervously.

Not too far away Ditto #3 was looking round the corridor for any sign of the tech princess. So far he was having no luck.

"Entrapta!" He called silently. "Oh come on she gives Houdini a run for his money!"

He soon reached a door. Suddenly the door opened and Ditto quickly hid behind a nearby wall. He peaked round the corner and saw emerging from the room. Was Hordak himself. Ditto looked wide eye as he looked at the very leader of this empire. He stayed quiet as the head of the Horde walked down the hallway past him as he knew he couldn't change forms since he needed to be reunited with his clones in order to change back. Remembering his fight with Animo when he first unlocked this alien.

Hordak walked past him completely unaware of his presence. Ditto breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew that was way too close!" He breathed.

However he went to look at the room Hordak had just exited from. When the door opened he saw what looked like pods, which for some reason reminded him of the Vladat pods Zs'Skyar had back on Anur Transyl. Inside the pods were what looked like defective clone bodies. He instantly closed the door and looked with a horrified expression.

"I don't even want to know what else this guys got going on!" Ditto said but continued his search for Entrapta, and it wasn't long when he turned a corner and found what he was looking for.

The Black Garnet Chamber:

Elsewhere in the darkness of Shadow Weavers sanctum, Glimmer was confined to her restraints. She groaned as she snapped her fingers to try and use her magic. She even tried to teleport out of her restraints but she glowed red and growled in pain as she tried.

"I should warn you Princess." Shadow Weaver emerged from the shadows. "Any attempt to teleport through these restraints will only cause you seems my Black Garnet and your powers don't mix." she noted.

"Besides, your mother will be here soon." She then said but Glimmer wasn't buying it.

"I know all about you and your mind games, Shadow Weaver." Glimmer defied. "Adora told me, so save it! And, by the way, she's not a fan."

"But I'm not playing games." Shadow Weaver said in false honesty. "What I said about Queen Angella is true. She's coming to surrender herself in exchange for your safety."

Glimmer looked with a horrified expression as the witch continued her taunts. "Oh, it's such a shame, the toll this rebellion has taken on your family. First you lose your father and now…."

Glimmer had tears present in her eyes but looked defiant in the eyes of the witch. "She-Ra will stop you!"

"There is no She-Ra! We have the sword. Not Adora." Shadow Weaver used her magic to reveal they did indeed have the Sword of Protection in their grasp much to Glimmers horror. "There will be no one left to stop the Horde. In a few hours Bright Moon will fall and Etheria will be ours to rule!"

"No you may have the sword but Ben is still out there! He'll stop you!"

Shadow Weaver could only laugh at that statement. "The boy is of no consequence to the Horde, and very little a threat."

"Funny is that what you told yourself after he helped Adora kick your shadowy butt back in Mystacor." Glimmer smirked.

"Silence!" Shadow Weaver exclaimed. "He may have great power, but he has meddled with my affairs long enough, if we had considered him a threat he would have been exterminated long ago." She said. "But by all means let him come if he is that foolish enough to try. For he will pay the price for his defiance when I end his life with my own hands then Etheria shall fall!"

Glimmer grunted as she tried to teleport out of her restraints again only to scream in pain as she tried. Shadow Weaver could only watch in amusement.

"Oh, tsk-tsk. Careful now. It would be a shame if we had no princess to exchange for the Queen." Shadow Weaver said as she faded into the shadows once more.

Elsewhere:

Meanwhile in the weapons room, Lonnie and Rogelio were busy looking over the Proto Tool. Lonnie held the weapon and was trying to figure out how it worked.

Rogelio growled like he was saying something. "Have you figured it out yet?" He said in growling tones that Lonnie couldn't understand.

"No I haven't." Lonnie said to the lizard cadet. "Come on its a blaster so there has to be a switch somewhere to make it work!"

Kyle then took a look at said weapon. "Maybe you just need to hold it like a blaster." He pointed the blaster at his head which Lonnie just pointed it away from him.

"Kyle watch it!" Lonnie exclaimed in caution.

"Relax it's probably not even loaded." But Kyle was wrong when suddenly he fired a laser blast at the wall which blew a hole in it right over Rogelio's head which he missed.

"And thats why I handle things like this!" Lonnie growled taking the weapon off him. "Why don't you go make yourself useful and cover my latrine duty."

"Oh okay." Kyle said a little disheartened. "By the way what happened to that princess we captured at the Kingdom of Snows?" He then asked.

"Like you to forget where she's in the Black Garnet Chamber with Shadow Weaver." Lonnie reminded.

"Oh good uh thanks for the reminder." Kyle said as he took his leave whilst Lonnie worked on unlocking the secrets of the Proto Tool.

Elsewhere:

Outside the compound Sea Hawk was still with Scorpia looking around the base. He was 'inspecting' things.

"Well, you Horde types run a tight ship, I must say. Everything seems up to code." He accidentally knocked down a pipe which was loose. He quickly placed it lengthways instead of how it was before.

"Yes indeed, entirely up to code." Sea Hawk pretended. "You pass with flying colours. Now, unless you have something else for me to inspect, I should get home to my inspector children."

"You know, you look familiar?" Scorpia then wondered and Sea Hawks eyes shrunk it looks like he was found out.

"Perhaps you've seen me, in your dreams?" He said as he tried to pour on the charm.

"No, that's not it." Scorpia tried to think where had she seen this man before. Then suddenly it hit her. "Princess Prom! That's where I know you from. I knew it would come to me." She chuckled. "You were with that mermaid."

Sea Hawk suddenly seemed insulted that someone was insulting his fair lady of the sea. "She has a name you know! I mean, no, that wasn't me." He realised what he'd just said.

"You're with the Rebellion." She realised with a rather spiteful glare.

"Now, as a scrupulous inspector, threats (clears throat) normally wouldn't work on me." Sea Hawk was a little intimidated. "But in this case, uh, perhaps we can reach a compromise?"

Scorpia was about to use her stinger when suddenly she felt a sudden jolt of electricity in her back and she fell to the ground. Sea Hawk looked and saw Ditto #2 holding a shock stick in his hand.

"An inspector really?" Ditto questioned with a raised eyebrow. Sea Hawk wondered who he was then when he saw the hourglass symbol on his head it became clear.

"Ah Ben most excellent timing!" Sea Hawk commended. "But I must admit you've gotten a little short?"

"Very funny now come on lets go before.." Suddenly something picked Ditto up by his suit collar and he looked to see it was Scorpia. "Uh oh."

She looked rather intimidating but when she saw the small alien her mood changed. "Awww aren't you so cute!" She cooed.

However she saw the logo on his head and realised where she had seen that before. "Wait your that diamond headed guy who gave me a shock back at Princess Prom!"

"Uh yeah sorry about that." Ditto apologised. He was really starting to wish he was Humungousaur right now.

Before anything else happened the computer monitor behind Sea Hawk sounded off and it had the words DUCK lit up in red.

"Duck?" He said confused. Suddenly a crane hook lowered.

"Ooo where?!" Scorpia said dropping Ditto to the ground with a grunt. In that moment Sea Hawk saw the swinging crane hook and got the message.

"Oh! Duck!" Sea Hawk quickly ducked out of the way as did Ditto and the crab hook swung into Scorpia with an almighty CLANG! and sent her flying across the compound.

"Hi." Called a voice.

The two looked up and saw up top was Entrapta riding the Horde bot she found and with her was Ditto #3. The bot took them down to meet them.

"Oh! That was a top-notch rescue." Sea Hawk thanked.

"You were cutting it a bit close right?" Ditto #2 pointed out.

"To be honest I wasn't sure which one of you I was gonna hit." Entrapta said then she noticed the Ditto clone that was with him.

"Oh you got one too." Entrapta said as she gestured to the other Ditto.

Sea Hawk looked baffled he looked and saw the other Splixsion with Entrapta then looked back at the one that was with him. He looked back and fourth multiple times.

"Did I hit my head or am I seeing double?" He pondered.

"Long story." Said Ditto #2.

"Now come on we need to meet back up with the others." Ditto #3 added.

Meanwhile:

Back with Adoras group, she was accessing a terminal to find information of where Bow and Glimmer were kept. Ditto prime wanted to see what she found but due to his size he couldn't see.

"Have you found anything?" Ditto asked.

"Do you want me to describe it?" Mermista cracked. "Or would you like me to find you a box?"

Ditto just frowned at that remark. "Oh ha ha an iconic movie reference at a time like this, just great."

Just then Adora found something in the mainframe. "Okay I've found Bow and Rooks cell, but I can't find Glimmer in here anywhere." Adora relayed. "They must be holding her somewhere else. This isn't good."

"I guess since the Princesses are the Hordes most dangerous prisoners to them, they would have a place to contain them." Ditto realised. "Adora any ideas where they would keep more dangerous prisoners?"

"If they had a place to contain princesses they kept it secret even from recruits." Adora said.

Suddenly they heard a clang of metal and turned to see a Horde bot appear out of a door in the hallway. Everyone stood ready to fight.

"What should we do?" Asked Perfuma.

"I'm not going back in the sewer!" Mermista said simply.

"Ben! Quick turn into Heatblast and melt that thing!" Adora quickly suggested.

"I can't Adora, I can't change forms until my other clones are gathered thats why the watch hasn't timed out yet!" Ditto exclaimed.

However the bot didn't attack as popping up from behind the door were the two Ditto clones and Entrapta.

"Hold fire guys!" Ditto #2 called.

"Its okay!" Entrapta called. "This is my new friend, Emily, I reprogrammed her." Her hair then held Sea Hawk bridal style as she handed him to Mermista.

"Where have you been?" Perfuma asked annoyingly.

"Where have you been?" Entrapta asked back. Everyone looked to the Ditto's for an explanation.

"Don't ask." Was all they could say as the Omnitrix time out and united the three Dittos and reverted him back to Ben.

"It doesn't matter." Adora dismissed. "We're all together. Let's finish this."

They all arrived at the cellblock control room and Perfuma trapped the guards in her vines keeping them restrained. They looked at the control panel and Entrapta could only look in wonderment and breathed in awe at so many buttons and switches.

"Bow and Rooks cell is in section B, level 20." Adora explained. "We'll get them out first then figure out where Glimmer is."

"Oh I do hope we aren't too late to save Rook." Perfuma worried. Ben just looked with a knowing raised eyebrow. "Oh and Bow too I'm worried about him too."

"Perfuma don't worry Rook can handle himself and so can Bow those two know how to handle themselves." Ben assured.

"Entrapta, can you get us up there?" Adora then asked.

"Yes! I can." Entrapta said "I mean, maybe. I don't know. I'm definitely gonna try." She made a few clicks on the keyboard and managed to extend a board walk to the cells.

"This is gonna be fun!" Entrapta laughed. She then retracted the walk way and tried to find another one.

"Uh just make sure we get up there safely." Ben said a little unsure.

"Okay, Sea Hawk, Ben, Perfuma you're with me." Adora said.

"I'll keep an eye on this one, in case she tries to befriend any more robots." Mermista volunteered.

"Good idea I think Perfumas had enough Entrapta sitting today." Ben agreed.

"On to the rescue!" Sea Hawk proclaimed.

The Cell block:

Meanwhile in the cell block. Rook was hard at work he was using the nail he picked up from the interrogation room along with the buttons on his suit cufflinks to pry open a panel. He succeeded and started to look at the wires in the wall.

"Rook how do you know this is gonna work?" Bow asked.

"The very first thing we were taught in the Plumbers Academy was to be ready for anything." Rook explained. "In my first year I learned how to escape confinement in the event of capture, if I can hot wire the force field from this side it should shut down."

"Should?" Bow worried.

Rook took a look at the wiring and saw something familiar. "Ah ha the wiring arrangement of the controls looks similar to the system we use at Plumber HQ." Rook said. "This should not take long."

"Well hurry we need to find out where Glimmer is!" Bow insisted.

"It would go faster if you would stop breathing down my neck!" Rook said and so Bow backed off.

"Bow. Bow!" Called a voice and Bow knew who it was.

"Rook someones coming!" Bow whispered and so Rook left the control panel appearing out of nowhere was Kyle.

"Kyle?" Bow said in surprise.

"You know this soldier?" Rook asked.

"Yeah hey my names Kyle." Kyle introduce. "Bow and I talk, and whats your name?"

"Uh Rook Blonko." Rook introduced.

"Nice meeting you Rook, anyway I'm supposed to be in the barracks. Lonnie made me cover her latrine duty." Kyle explained.

"Ah latrine duty, one of the less glamours sights I have seen in my days at the Academy." Rook remembered.

"So what's going on?" Bow asked out of interest.

"I found out where your friend is being kept." Kyle then explained.

"Glimmer where is she?" Rook asked.

"Shadow Weaver has her in the Black Garnet chamber." Kyle informed the two prisoners.

"Oh, that sounds bad." Bow grimaced.

"Indeed especially if Shadow Weaver is involved and from my meeting her it would seem she is a rather controlling individual." Rook said in worry as well.

"Yeah, it's pretty bad." Kyle admitted grimly. "But she's alive, at least. Shadow Weaver is planning to ransom her in exchange for Queen."

"That is troubling news if the Queen turns herself over to them they'll have them both, leaving the Rebellion leaderless." Rook realised.

"Wait why are you telling us this?" Bow wondered.

"I don't know." Kyle admitted. "I guess, because your the first person who's ever listened to me." He then said with a creepy smile.

"I…see."Rook said simply.

"I mean, we're being held prisoner, so... I don't know that I have a choice, but sure!" Bow then said.

Far below Adora, Ben, Sea Hawk and Perfuma boarded the platform elevator. Once onboard Adora gave Entrapta a thumbs up telling her to take them up to the next floor.

"Pull the lever Entrapta!" Ben called.

Entrapta pulled the lever and the lift moves slowly but then zooms into the air like a rocket. Everyone screamed as they were shot into the air, on the upper deck the soldiers up top Lonnie and Rogelio included looked to see what was going on.

Adora looked up and saw her former comrade Lonnie and Lonnie gasped at seeing her comrade turned traitor was in the Fright Zone. Ben could see that they had been spotted.

"Uh oh!" Ben grimaced. "Wrong lever!"

In the control room Entrapta realised her mistake. "Whoops. That's not right." She pressed a button.

High above the lift came to a stop just a few metres above the floor the Horde soldiers were on. Lonnie growled as she took a running start for Roghelio to boost her up and she span in a ball and landed on the platform. She armed herself with Rooks Proto Tool though she couldn't change its shape.

"Entrapta!" Ben and Adora yelled.

Entrapta yelled as she hit another button which shot the lift soaring into the air. Everyone screamed. Perfuma accidentally stumbled off the platform and Sea Hawk was too late to reach her.

"PERFUMA!" He exclaimed but he was too late it seemed that she had fallen. Sea Hawk was consumed with grief. But all of a sudden a vine appeared on his wrist and he was jerked down to see Perfuma holding on for dear life.

"Hang on!" Adora called. Ben suddenly noticed something.

"Adora look out!" He shouted and Adora was able to avoid the static swing from Lonnie's shock stick. She held the Proto tool in her other hand.

"You think you can just come back here?!" Lonnie shouted in anger as she slashed at Adora two clashed in battle, Adora blocked her strikes then blocked the Proto Tool held by her former comrade.

"I need to save my friends!" Adora said holding back her attack.

"We were your friends!" Lonnie growled. Suddenly she was tackled to the ground by Ben she quickly recovered and faced the shape shifter.

"Yeah friends on the wrong side!" Ben exclaimed. "Don't you get it the Horde's using you!"

"So you're this shapeshifter with the watch we've heard about." Lonnie said looking over her opponent. "Gotta say you look kinda cute in person."

"I'm flattered but spoken for." Ben said then noticed the weapon she had in her possession. "By the way you've got something that belongs to a friend of mine!"

"Its mine now!" Lonnie smirked as she charged at Ben who dodged her attacks only for Adora to kick her to the side.

"Ben help Perfuma and Sea Hawk!" Adora said. "I'll handle Lonnie." Ben nodded at that and hurried to help his friends.

On the other decks Rogelio and the other Horde soldiers ran to the next platform to the control room. However Entrapta was able to retract it before they could even cross it. Rogelio on the other hand had other idea and leaped across to the control room crashing through the window.

He turned and let out a roar at the two princesses. Who screamed as he swatted them away with his tail to reach the controls. Before he could access them Entrapta tangled him up in her hair pulling him away and Mermista leaped onto his back. They pushed him forward into a button.

Meanwhile Sea Hawk and Ben had managed to pull Perfuma up, then suddenly the lift stopped surprising everyone.

"Oh no." Ben whimpered. The lift then shot down at top speed like a bullet. Knocking everyone to the ground.

Lonnie however soon recovered and was about to strike. Before she could Perfuma let loose her vines from her hands pushing Lonnie off the platform and she dropped the Proto Tool which Adora caught.

Lonnie was knocked down to another platform that was racing up in the other direction. But it then stopped and went back down again.

"Adora are you all right?" Perfuma asked as Adora stood up with the Proto tool in hand.

"Thanks to you." Adora thanked the flower princess.

"Great hit Perfuma." Sea Hawk complimented.

"Couldn't have done it better myself." Ben agreed. "But if this is how your old buddies treat their friends I hate to see how they treat their enemies." He said to Adora.

However the celebrations were premature as suddenly two more Horde soldiers appeared armed with shock sticks.

"Okay thats it!" Ben said as he activated the Omnitrix and selected an alien. "Time to heat things up, with a little Swampfire!" Ben slammed on the dial and began to transform.

However it wasn't into Swampfire. Tanned fur started growing on his body and sharp claws emerged from his fingers and toes. Then from his rear a long grey coloured tail appeared and when he opened his eyes they had slits in them.

Adora was completely startled she could not believe what her friend had just transformed into. He had transformed into what appeared to be a male version of Catra. He sported the same tanned fur with brown tabby cat stripes but with one difference. His hair was darker and was more like a mullet, he had no tuff under his ears and his eyes were both green and he was slightly taller than Ben in human form and with a more muscular build.

He wore a sleeveless jumpsuit which was black with a green v point that came from his collar down to his chest with a V shaped green belt with white stripes. He had white fingerless gloves with green cuffs and skin tight short boots exposing his toes and had a green coloured padded heel at the back. The Omnitrix was located in the centre of his chest.

Ben looked at himself in his new form and even he didn't see this coming.

"O..kay this is different." The new alien said he then realised something his voice was the same as his human form. "Hey I still sound like me!" He realised.

"C, Catra?" Adora said in surprise and even the Hordesman were completely passed and the first Horde soldier charged forwards armed with a shock stick and was ready to strike Adora.

"Adora!" the alien shouted and he slashed his claws upwards against the Hordesman. It seemed nothing had happened.

However the shock stick the soldier was holding then fell to pieces before his very eyes. Ben looked at the black nailed claws that were on his fingers.

"Whoa this cats got razor sharp claws." Then he had a notion. "Hey thats a good name…"

"RAZOR KAT!" He exclaimed sheathing his claws as he and his comrades charged towards the Horde soldiers.

Meanwhile Kyle was still talking to the confined Bow and Rook. "No one's ever, ever asked for my help before. People here don't think I can do anything right." He said with tears in his eyes.

Bow was getting a little bored of listening to Kyle pouring his heart out but Rook was listening given his own experiences in the academy.

"Um-hm. That seems tough." Bow said bored.

"It is understandable Kyle." Rook explained. "During my time in the Plumbers Academy I have seen cadets that are always underestimated in their abilities."

Just then the two prisoners noticed the battle that was happening on the platforms in the background Adora who had somehow managed to access the Proto Tools sword function was battling against a Horde soldier with Sea Hawk whilst Razor Kat used his agility to flip over the soldier then trip him up for Perfuma to entangle him in vines.

"Man I gotta give Catra credit she's got moves!" Razor Kat said admiring his new abilities. "I should've let her scratch the watch ages ago!"

"What?" Adora asked.

"Uh long story I'll tell you later." He then quickly used the Proto sword to block an incoming attack from a Horde soldier then pushed him back.

"Wow you managed to figure Rooks weapon out quickly." Razor Kat said amazed.

"I'm a fast learner, plus watching him doesn't hurt." Adora admitted.

Back with Bow and Rook they knew they needed to keep Kyle distracted.

"Why am I telling you this? I shouldn't even be here. I'm going to get into so much trouble if I get caught." Kyle said and was about to walk away.

"No! Wait, I mean we're just talking." Bow laughed. "How much trouble could you get in for talking?"

"Indeed there is no-one else here but us." Rook said playing along.

"Oh, you'd be surprised. I get in trouble for everything around here." Kyle explained as the battle behind them progressed.

"That doesn't seem fair." Bow chuckled.

"Yes being blamed is unjustifiable without the evidence to prove your guilt." Rook agreed.

The battle saw Perfuma tying up the Horde soldiers then swung them onto the rising platform next to them. Razor Kat and Sea Hawk exchanged a high five in celebration. Only for Lonnie to arrive on another platform and fight them again. This time however she noticed that Catra was with them.

"Catra?!" Lonnie said in surprise.

"Close but no." Razor Kat said as he pointed to the hourglass symbol on his chest this told Lonnie it was the shape shifter.

"Oh ho ho, I'm gonna enjoy this even if it isn't really Catra!" Lonnie said and swung her shock stick at Razor Kat only for him to duck and then trip Lonnie up.

She quickly recovered only for Adora to trip her up and land her onto the ascending platform. The platform they were on then ascended.

"I know! But then I thought how brave you are for wanting to save your friend." Kyle then said. "And maybe, if I helped you guys , you could be my friends too."

"Uh, sure, friends, definitely. We can be friends." Bow said chuckling nervously.

"Uh yes indeed." Rook agreed.

Kyle smiled emotionally and put his hand on the force field and Bow put his hand on the force shield as well on the other side.

Back in the control room Entrapta was struggling against Rogelio who was tangled in her hair, trying to bite her head off.

Mermista saw the tech Princess was in trouble and used her powers to burst a nearby water pipe and blasted the water at the lizard soldier forcing him back. However he soon regained his footing and tried to push the water back.

Entrapta acted quickly and used her hair to trip the reptile soldier up and that forced him out the window. The two looked at each other smiling in victory then suddenly he re-emerged from the window and roared at the two princesses who stood at the ready.

Suddenly however Rogelio was kicked to the ground by Razor Kat who had just swung through the window and landed on the ground.

"Hope you guys don't mind me dropping in!" Razor Kat girls were a little aprehensive as he looked like the feline force captain but one look at the Omnitrx and they knew he was on their side.

"Nice look, but your still not funny." Mermista said much to Razor Kats pouting. Suddenly Rogelio grabbed Razor Kat by the tail and flung him into the wall and pinned him down.

"Eww two words dude 'breath mints!'" Razor Kat said after smelling his reptile breath.

The cat alien knew Rogelio was going to strike so he acted quickly and pinched a certain muscle close to his neck and with a strange sound the lizard soldier then collapsed to the ground releasing his grip on Razor Kat. He was relieved that little trick he learned from a certain huntsman kicked in.

"Down boy." He grunted.

"Whoa what was that?" Mermista said.

"Hephaestan Neuro Grip" Razor Kat explained. "Useful for subduing all manner of prey."

"Ah a nerve pinch interesting." Entrapta said.

"Now girls care to take out the trash." Razor Kat gestured to the downed lizard.

The two smirked at each other and then in an instant the lizard was flung out of the window and crashed into Lonnie who was tapping her foot impatiently on the ascending platform.

Razor Kat leaped out of the control room window and rejoined the others.

"Good team, geek princess." Mermista congratulated offering a high five which she accepted with her hair hand as she typed on the console.

Eventually the group arrived on the level Bow and Rooks cell was on and Kyle turned to see Sea Hawk leap off the platform and grab him by the arms.

"Goodbye!" He said as he tossed Kyle onto the pile that was Lonnie and Rogelio as the platform they were on ascended.

"Bow! Rook!" Sea Hawk laughed. "We're here to save you."

The sea captain smashed the control console with his fist which deactivated the force shield containing the two of them. Adora ran up to them and they wasted no time pulling each other into a hug.

"Adora!" Bow said happily as he hugged her.

"Bow! Rook!" Adora greeted as she hugged the two of Bow then noticed a certain cat in the room.

"LOOK OUT ITS CATRA!" Bow exclaimed but Adora wasn't alerted Rook then took a closer look at 'Catra' then saw a certain hourglass symbol on his chest.

"Ben is that you?" Rook asked.

"Who else would it be Rook?" Razor Kat asked it was then Bow realised.

"Oh uh sorry Ben I thought you were Catra. Cause you know you look like Catra." Bow pointed out just as the Omnitrix timed out and reverted Ben back to his human form.

"Yeah thanks for noticing." Ben said before greeting Bow with a hug of relief himself and offered his partner a fist bump which he accepted.

"But it's good to see you two are okay." Ben said in relief.

"I think this belongs to you." Adora handed Rook back his Proto tool which he was glad to see as he took it from Adora.

"So Ben since when were you able to turn into Catra?" Bow asked.

"I think it was back during our fight at the Sea Gate when she scratched the watch." Ben remembered how the feline Force Captain scratched the watch after he turned back into Rath and how it sampled her DNA.

"What how?" Bow wondered.

"Look it's a long story, but right now we have bigger problems." Ben then said in a serious tone.

"He's right Bow where's Glimmer?" Adora then asked.

"Shadow Weaver has her in the Black Garnet chamber." Bow explained. Adora froze in horror that she would be held in the witches inner sanctum.

"Oh man right in the lions den." Ben realised.

"She has clearly held her there to use as bait anticipating a rescue attempt." Rook surmised.

"Adora, what are we gonna do?" Bow asked. Before Adora could answer that suddenly alarms started blaring around the complex. This was a clear sign the enemy knew the group was in their fortress.

"They know we're here!" Ben exclaimed.

"Come on!" Adora exclaimed and the group quickly hurried out of the cell blocks to find an escape route.

They ran down a corridor only to hear the sound of Horde soldiers screaming and yelling coming in their direction. So they ran away with Entrapta's new bot Emily close behind them. The group then suddenly arrives at a sealed door with no way out. Entrapta then plugs into the access panel and begins hacking it so she can open the door.

"Can you get it open?" Adora asked.

"I just need a little more time." Entrapta replied. However the sounds of the shouting and yelling Horde Soldiers showed they didn't have long.

"I don't think we have a little more time!" Ben warned. However within seconds the door opened and Entrapta laughed in triumphant.

"Where does this route go?" Rook asked as the group ran down the hallway.

"This vent system leads to where you can call the Proto Truck. Each chamber needs to be sealed and purged before you can move on to the next one." Adora explained as she typed on the computer panel. "The doors will only stay open for a few seconds, before you can move onto the next one so keep up the pace."

"Wait you fixed my truck?!" Rook said to Entrapta in surprise.

"Yeah got a feeling your gonna need this." Ben said handing him the remote. The group then hurried into the tunnel however Bow and Ben noticed that Adora wasn't following them.

"Adora, what are you doing?" Bow asked. Adora turned back and looked to her friends knowing she what she had to do.

"Don't worry about me. I'm gonna buy you some time and find Glimmer." She said regretfully. "Meet you there, okay?"

Bens eyes widened in horror when he realised what she was planning to do. "Adora!" Adora slammed on the controls and sealed the Ben and Bow on the other side with the rest of the group.

"Adora!" Bow screamed slamming on the door. Ben just growled there was no way he was missing this. Without word he activated the Omnitrix and turned into Big Chill much to the surprise of everyone.

"Rook, Bow lead everyone to the vehicle bay and get out while you can!" Big Chill ordered.

"What about you?" Bow questioned when suddenly the purging process was about to begin.

"I'm going to get Adora and Glimmer, I'll join you when I can now Go!" Big Chill then ordered.

Bow wanted to go with him, but he knew he couldn't leave the others so as Perfuma extended her hand telling him to go with them he nodded and made his escape as Big Chill phased through the wall. The door sealed as green flames incinerated the hallway.

Big Chill emerged on the other side and saw the controls were destroyed he moved through the corridor and saw Adora was being escorted away by some guards. He could only guess where so he turned invisible and followed the guards.

"You better watch out Shadow Weaver, I'm coming for you!" He hissed.

Adora was escorted right outside the door of the Black Garnet chamber and the doors swooshed open to reveal the rune stone itself, and Glimmer restrained in its energy. She looked in horror to see her friend like this.

"Glimmer, I'm here. Don't worry everything will be okay. I'll save you." Adora said to her friend as she was restrained to a platform bed.

She then noticed Catra standing in the corner. "What have you done to her?" Adora demanded. Then emerging from the shadows next to Catra was Shadow Weaver herself.

"Leave us." She hissed to the soldiers who saluted and took their leave.

She then addressed Catra. "Report to the Force Captain barracks and pack your things. Now that Adora is back, there's no need for you there."

Catra couldn't believe this despite Adoras capture she was still getting demoted anyway. Even after everything.

"Seriously? After everything I've done for you, it's still her you want?" Catra exclaimed.

"I SAID GO!" Shadow Weaver shouted tossing Catra aside to the door.

Before Catra left she took one last look at Adora who looked to her with a look asking for her help. However all Catra did was take her leave with the door sealing shut behind her.

She walked down the hallway in a scowl with some tears present in her eyes. She didn't even notice a certain green flash emerge from a nearby wall. When she was far enough away Ben emerged and hurried to the Black Garnet chamber. He listened carefully.

"Shadow Weaver, I'll stay here with you willingly, but you have to let Glimmer go first." Adora said to her former tutor.

Glimmer who was now awake couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Adora, no!" Ben knew that was Glimmer and listened as Shadow Weaver approached Adora.

"Glimmer, are you okay?" Adora looked back to her weakened friend.

"You are correct Adora. You shall stay willingly, because I am going to wipe your mind." Shadow Weaver explained to her You'll have no memory of She-Ra or the time you spent with the Rebellion. Not even of Ben Tennyson! Everything will be as it once was." She prepared her magic. "As for the Princess, once I'm done, you'll be happy to have her as your prisoner. And your first act as Force Captain will be to hunt Tennyson down so he may pay for the day he set foot on Etheria!."

"NO Adora!" Glimmer exclaimed.

Ben couldn't believe what he was hearing this demented witch was willing to wipe her mind just to get her back! For him that was the last straw he not only had to beat Shadow Weaver, he had to make sure she couldn't come after Adora ever again.

Meanwhile:

Emily (Entraptas robot.) Plugged into an open port and was able to open the next door that lead the group to the way out. Emily unplugged herself and with the group hurried into the next hallway as the door sealed shut behind them and the incinerator kicked in.

"Entrapta how many doors till we are out?!" Rook asked the tech princess.

"Only a few more to go!" She relayed.

"We need to go back for Glimmer and Adora!" Bow insisted.

"No Bow we cannot stop now." Rook remained.

"Rooks right." Perfuma agreed. "We need to do what Adora said. They'll make it out and we'll be ready with the Proto truck. No princess will be left behind." She assured with a smile.

"Bow I know you are worried for Glimmer and Adora, but remember Ben has gone back for them he will make sure they get out safely." Rook then added.

Bow knew that Ben could and would get the girls out but he still couldn't help but worry as they ran through the endless corridors of the Fright Zone.

The Black Garnet Chamber:

Shadow Weaver had already set to work on trying to erase Adoras memories. She growled and screamed as the magic caused her unimaginable pain. Glimmers eyes were in tears watching this.

"SHADOW WEAVER!" But help was at hand Shadow Weaver turned to see Ben Tennyson standing in the door way of her chamber with a scowl on his face.

"Ben!" Glimmer said with tears in her eyes.

"You!" Shadow Weaver growled as she let go of Adora and turned to him.

"Yeah figured it was about time we met face to face!" Ben said with a scowl.

"You must be truly a fool if you thought you could just waltz into my domain!" Shadow Weaver said. "But you're too late soon Adora will be by my side once more and you shall never again interfere with the affairs of the Horde!"

"Your threats don't scare me Shadow Freak!" Ben replied. "If you honestly think you can get rid of me you're welcome to try!"

"You arrogant fool!" Shadow Weaver yelled as she let loose a blast of her energy straight towards Ben who just managed to activate the Omnitrix and change form.

"NO!" Glimmer yelled thinking the energy was going to hit him. However the hit didn't come for standing in his place as the smoke cleared was a new form.

He was now a tall alien with black body with one green eye in the middle of his head, two antennae on his head with round gold plugs on the tips, they were also on his four fingered ands and tail. He had gold battery bolts on his shoulders, waist and arms with a green coloured chest and the Omnitrix sat right in the middle.

This was Bens childhood favourite alien. Feedback.

The alien had absorbed all the energy Shadow Weaver had flung at him and he was surging with power. "Impossible!" Shadow Weaver exclaimed.

"Now how'd you like a little Feedback!" He exclaimed as he flung his arms forward and let loose a blast of blue electrical energy towards Shadow Weaver who moved out of the way to avoid it.

The witch screamed in fury as her hair turned to black shadow magic and her hands surged with energy. She charged towards Feedback and likewise did he at her the two clashed hands against each other blasting and absorbing energy from the growled as he pushed forwards against the sorceress and looked to see Glimmer in her restraints.

"Glimmer hang on I'm gonna get you out of here!" He exclaimed to her.

"NEVER!" Shadow Weaver yelled as she blasted the Conductoid back with all her might only for him to absorb that energy and fire it back at her.

"You have meddled in my affairs long enough you meddlesome brat!" She shouted.

"What can I say I'm a meddler!" Feedback smirked and fired another blast only for Shadow Weaver to unleash her full fury upon him and blasted him pinning him against the Black Garnet.

Feedback growled in pain as there was only so much energy he could take. "Now you pay the price for your interference!" She growled.

Glimmer could see her friend was in trouble and her eyes glowed with fury she focused all hr power to try and teleport. The power hurt her but she growled and cried as she focused on helping her friends. Then finally she disappeared as did the energy.

Shadow Weaver was ready to finish off Feedback when suddenly she saw a glim of light appear. Then out of nowhere Glimmer teleported in with an energy blast in hand and punched Shadow Weaver dead in the face knocking her back releasing her grip on Feedback.

He could see an opening then his tendrils sensed power coming from the stone behind him and he smirked. "Hm wonder what would happen if I did this!"

He plugged himself into the garnet and its enormous power surged through him almost like a tornado. He growled as he felt that energy. Shadow Weaver recovered and saw what was happening.

"NO GET AWAY FROM THAT YOU FOOL!" She exclaimed.

"Thats right folks Tennyson once again gets the upper hand!" His eye glowed bright. "He goes in for the winning move!"

He unleashed his full power in a blast of green energy. Shadow Weaver screamed as the energy blast shot her into a wall and she collapsed to the ground. Feedback unplugged himself from the garnet and collapsed to his knees as that was a lot of power he let loose.

"Ben!" Glimmer exclaimed running over to him. "Are you okay?"

He took a few deep breaths before he answered. "Whoa, that…was a kick!"

"Are you crazy what were you thinking drawing energy from a rune stone like that!" She scolded.

"Hey it's okay Glims, Feedback can handle that kind of thing." He assured.

"Handle it or not I'd say your lucky you didn't blast your head off!" Glimmer said with some tears in her eyes.

Feedback stood up again but was still a little dizzy. "Then why does it feel like I just did." He said rubbing his head. The two then turned their attention to the restrained Adora.

"Adora!" Glimmer exclaimed and Feedback wasted no time cutting her free from her restraints.

"Are you okay? Do you know who we are?" She asked. After a minute Adora started to stir and upon seeing the princess and Conductoid.

"Glimmer, Ben?" She groaned with a smile. Glimmer had tears in her eyes as she embraced her friend in a hug. The two then looked to Feedback.

"Ben, but I thought I told you to…" "Hey like I said before, I never leave friends behind." Feedback interrupted to which Adora gave a grateful smile.

However his gaze then turned to Shadow Weaver who was beginning to stir. Feedback grabbed her by the collar and pinned her to the wall looking with a hateful eye.

"Okay maybe I didn't make myself clear in Mystacor!" He said. "Adora is done with the Horde! And she's done with you! PERIOD!"

"Never! She belongs with me in the Fright Zone!" Shadow Weaver defied. "Don't you understand, no matter what you do I will never stop coming for her Never!" She cackled at that.

Feedback knew she meant what she said, and decided it was time he gave her a message she wouldn't forget, and he knew just the form for the job.

"Girls you might want to get behind me for this next bit." He said to the two girls who looked a little confused.

He released Shadow Weaver as she fell to the ground. "Okay, I didn't think I had to do this Shadow Weaver but you had your chance! Just to be clear you asked for this not me!"

He slammed down on the Omnitrix dial and changed form. He had transformed into an ogre looking alien with greenish yellow skin, long weeded spiked arms and a belly button. He wears a pair of black briefs with a metal dark green belt with white bolts. He had glowing circular green eyes that could bee seen through the bars of his horned iron caged helmet. This is connected to his armour on his chest wrapped around his shoulder. The omnitrix itself resides on the armour covering his chest.

Shadow Weaver could only scoff at the shapeshifters new appearance. "Ha what is this if this is meant to intimidate me it's not very effective!"

Glimmer and Adora could only look at each other in bewilderment, sure this form looked creepy, but why would Ben turn into it unless he had a reason.

Suddenly the valves on Toepick's helmet opened venting steam as they did, and the cage hiding his face creaked and open slowly. Horrifying sounds of screaming, wailing and unholy groans and Weaver gazed right into the face of this being and she instantly turned white as snow paralysed in place.

"NO NO…AAAHHHHHH!" She screamed in terror as her hair turned completely white. She couldn't look away as the alien walked towards her.

"AAAAHHHHH! St, STAY AWAY FROM ME STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed as she crawled away from him. Adora was more than horrified in all her childhood living in the Fright Zone she had never seen Shadow Weaver so afraid before.

Shadow Weaver was cornered and couldn't escape this horrifying creature. "NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Her screams echoed all over the Fright Zone startling all the soldiers on duty. Even Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio were spooked by this screaming roar. Catra could hear it when she was close to the barracks and knew that was Shadow Weaver screaming in truth it even sent a shiver down her spine.

In the chamber Shadow Weaver was cowering in fear on the ground paralysed in sheer terror. The Omnitrix then timed out and reverted Toepick back to Ben.

"Make sure you remember that Shadow Weaver." Ben began with a hateful glare. "Adora is never coming back to you or the Horde not now or never! So if you come after her, Bow or Glimmer again I'm gonna bring this place crashing down around you!"

Adora and Glimmer had never seen this side of Ben before he had such venom in his voice. "Tell your boss anyone who crosses the princesses or their friends! Crosses me! You get that!" He finished glaring right in her eyes.

"Oh and by the way, Catra seemed to have more brains than you, I think you underestimated her." He then said with his back turned. "Just as you did me."

He then walked towards the girls and before he said anything to them he shivered away from that transformation. "Man I forgot how much I hated using Toepick." He said calmly.

"Ben." Glimmer then said. "What, what did that alien do to her?"

"Trust me you don't want to know." Ben said simply and they agreed it was probably for the best. "Now come on let's get out of here before she snaps out of it." With that the trio took their leave of the chamber leaving the still terror stricken witch in her chamber.

Elsewhere:

On the outside of the Fright Zone base Rook, Bow and the rest of the group had opened the final door leading to the outside.

"We made it. This way to the vehicle bay!" Sea Hawk instructed and Rook pressed a button on the remote activating the Proto Trucks auto pilot.

The group emerged from the tunnel however Emily was caught on the cable that connected her to the port. She beeped and wirred trying to break loose. Entrapta turned and saw her new friend couldn't get loose.

"Wait Emily!" She said just as Perfuma turned to see Entrapta go back inside for the robot.

"Entrapta NO!" Perfuma cried but it was too late the door sealed trapping her inside and the green flames consumed the room.

Everyone looked in sheer horror and terror knowing that their comrade had probably perished in the flames.

"No" Rook breathed and Perfuma was on the verge of tears just then they heard a wiring note and hovering above them was the Proto Truck which locked onto Rooks signal.

"Come on." Rook said to the group who turned to him. "There is nothing more we can do for her now." He said with despair in his voice.

Everyone looked at eachother and nodded knowing they had to escape. They boarded the ship with Rook in the drivers seat whilst Bow sat up front with him and the rest of the group were in the flew away from the area but Rook flew the truck close to the vehicle bay where all the tanks and Skiffs were kept.

"We have to go get Adora, Ben and Glimmer!" Bow reminded.

"And we will but first." Rook flicked a few switches on the control console and brought the weapons online.

"What are you doing?" Mermista asked. Rook looked with determination in his eyes as he aimed the targeting grid at the vehicles below.

"Making sure the Horde cannot follow us!" Rook pressed down on the trigger that resided on his steering wheel.

From the trucks wings flew a whole brigade of missiles which flew down and destroyed all the tanks, Skiffs and other vehicles in the bay. With the vehicle bay up in smoke the ship flew away from the area.

Meanwhile:

Still inside the Fright Zones walls Ben and Adora supporting Glimmer as they ran through the corridors with alarms blaring around them. They hurried to the open door only to have it seal shut before they could reach it.

Ben quickly tried to use the Omnitrix, however when he did he saw it was flashing red which meant only one thing.

"No no no not now!" Ben exclaimed.

"Ben what is it?" Adora asked.

"Grr after so many quick transformations the Omnitrix needs to shut down and recharge until then I can't use my powers!"Ben groaned.

Glimmer grabbed onto the two of them and tried to use her powers to teleport them out. However when she tried she suddenly glowed read and cried in pain.

"Glimmer, what's happening?" Adora asked in concern.

"Whats wrong?" Ben asked.

"I don't know." Glimmer groaned. "I can't teleport."

"What." Adora breathed.

Just then Ben remembered something. "Wait what about the…" He was cut off by the sound of scraping metal.

They turned to the source and saw illuminated by the sparks of the Sword of Protection which was held by Catra. The look on her face showed she was ready to kill the three intruders that stood before her.

"Sword." Ben growled.

"Catra." Adora breathed.

Catra swung the sword and pointed it at the three of them. Adora was about to step forward until Ben moved his hand in the way telling her not to. He then stepped forward.

"We're leaving Catra and we'll be taking the sword with us, you can either hand it over now." He reached for the Omnitrix. "Or you and Gutrot can go another round!"

Though he couldn't really transform he hoped that Catra would buy the bluff. Adora and Glimmer didn't look that convinced and knew that Catra probably wouldn't either. All was silent the feline Force Captain stared the three down.

Then suddenly Catra turned the sword round and offered the handle to Adora. Adora was rather taken aback as was Ben. Was Catra offering the sword willingly?

"What?" Ben breathed.

"What are you doing?" Adora questioned.

"Take it." Catra said simply though Adora was completely unsure why. "This is not because I like you." She then said.

Regardless Adora stepped forward and took the sword from her. However she was still confused as to why her former friend would do this instead of taking them down.

"Catra, I…" "Just get out of here." Catra interrupted Adora looking away.

Adora looked to Ben and Glimmer and knew this was no time for idle chat but the time to escape and so she raised the sword.

"FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!"

The bright light blinded Catra, and soon Adora was now She-Ra once the sword she sliced down the door. She looked back and saw that her former friend was no longer there. She looked saddened but then Glimmer and Ben put their hands on hers. She-Ra smiled as they ran through the door and made their escape.

Outside the Proto Truck was flying around the jagged cliffs in the Fright Zone looking for their friends. Suddenly Bow spotted them far below.

"There they are!" Bow pointed and Rook moved the wheel and pointed the truck down towards them.

Ben and She-Ra smiled the moment they caught sight of the space craft. The Proto Truck spun round and opened its rear doors where Perfuma was waiting to catch them. Once they were close enough She-ra jumped onto the entry ramp and the flower princess grabbed hers and Bens hand whilst he pulled Glimmer up as she embraced the two in a hug with joyful tears.

They soon boarded the truck and Ben looked to Rook in the drivers seat.

"Rook get us the hell out of here!" Ben called.

"With pleasure!" Rook replied as he closed the rear door and flew the Proto Truck far away from the Fright Zone and back towards the Whispering wasted no time running to Bow and embracing him in a hug.

"Glimmer" Bow said in relief and Rook smiled knowing she was okay. To Ben and She-Ra it seemed like mission they noticed the saddened expressions on most of the crew, and the absence of one certain princess.

"Wait." Ben said. "Wheres Entrapta?"

Mermista, Sea Hawk, Perfuma, Bow and Rook all had grieving faces. This was not a good sign before Bow spoke.

"Entrapta didn't make it." Bow said which put tears in Glimmers eyes.

Ben and She-Ra looked frozen in shock. "What do you mean?" She-Ra asked.

Everyone was silent whilst She-Ra and Ben waited for an answer. Mermista looked at the two of them with tears in her eyes.

"She's gone" She said as she wiped her tears away whilst Sea Hawk and Perfuma looked with grieved faces. Rook comforted Perfuma as he set the ship on auto pilot by placing a hand on her shoulder which she accepted with tears in her eyes.

"W.. what, no no you don't mean.." Ben stuttered.

"Well, t-then, we have to go back for her." She-Ra insisted.

"No, she's…" Bow said in a saddened tone "She's really gone."

Glimmer looked at the two of them with tears streaming from her eyes. She-Ra stumbled back in horror she had been told that one of their own had perished during the mission. Bens pupils shrunk in horror this had been the first time since a team member had been lost to them, it only reminded him of how he thought he'd lost Grandpa Max during the High Breed conspiracy.

She-Ra collapsed to her knees and changed back to Adora who only looked with sobbing eyes, knowing that her friend had perished.

Ben just clenched his fists and breathed heavily as he slammed it into the truck walls. He vented his frustration out in his breaths and even had a slight tear in his the only question left was. How would they respond? And what would become of them now?

Authors Notes: Oh no, just when they get their friends back they lose another. They PA may have succeeded in rescuing Bow, Glimmer and Rook but Entrapta has perished. Now we'll just have to see how they cope with this grief. And if anyone paid close attention to the battle at the Sea Gate you saw the Omnitrix sampled Catra's DNA, and now that form has debuted as Razor Kat. With razor sharp claws and enhanced agility this cat is ready to take on anything. And yes you can expect Ben to use this form the next time he and Catra cross paths.

Now throughout the canon series of Princesses of Power I felt someone other than Catra needed to put Shadow Weaver in her place and thus the idea of Ben using Toepick was born along with the addition of Feedback absorbing the power of the Black Garnet, which made sense given how its power is bolts of energy. Also using classic aliens like Ditto who was one of the underused aliens back in the classic series and felt he needed some more screen time be it in the original or Omniverse. Also the addition of another rarely used alien Chamalien.

Now onto the next chapter in the aftermath of this rescue and what will become of the Princess Alliance. Until then be safe, stay healthy and

For the honour of Greyskull!
