:The Battle of Bright Moon:

In the darkened skies of Etheria a great blizzard blows through the Whispering flurries around the trees which have suddenly turned to ice in a mere matter of in the sky emerging from the blackened cloud bank was Swift Wind and riding him was She-Ra, Bow, Glimmer and Rook. Flying alongside the flying horse was Ben as Astrodactyl. They looked and saw the darkness shrouding the entire planet.

She-Ra turns her head back and looks to jagged rocks emerging in the cloud bank. A column of dark energy was erupting from it this appeared to be the centre of the disturbance. As red lightning comes crashing down from the sky.

"It's coming from the Fright Zone! Whatever's happening, the Horde is causing it!" She-Ra exclaimed to her friends.

"Man don't tell me they've somehow built a weather machine?" Astrodactyl asked.

"One this powerful? It is highly unlikely Ben." Rook called to him.

Bow looks down to the ground below and sees below him a completely frozen forest, that was once the Whispering Woods.

"The Whispering Woods are freezing over! What'll we do?" Bow asked. Suddenly Glimmer glitched again and nearly fell forwards off the horse if Bow hadn't caught her.

"We have to get home! We have to make sure everyone at Bright Moon is okay." Glimmer suggested.

"Yeah one question…." Astrodactyl asked. "Which way is Bright Moon?"

He was right for in this darkened cloud bank they couldn't see any trace of the kingdom from above. As She-Ra looked back at the storm clouds, a pulse of red lightning shot down from the sky spooking Swift Wind causing him to whine and spin away from the lighting. Astrodactyl dodged to the side to avoid a lightning strike.

The Fright Zone:

From the centre of this ever-growing darkness Catra perched on a railing near Entrapta's lab. Watching as the lightning crashes down.

"Catra! You've gotta see this!" Called Scorpia.

In the Black Garnet chamber the stone itself is still growing in power. As Catra enters, Scorpia is standing at the monitor looking at the affects of the darkness growing from the Fright Zone.

"Tidal waves, Fire Storms, Earthquakes.. maaaan, Etheria's really taking this hard." Scorpia lists as Catra watches a tree in the Whispering Woods freeze and crumble to the ground. This brought a smirk on her face." I mean- Yay for us but also whoa."

Rolling around behind them was Entrapta spinning round and around on a spinning chair. She was recording the results of tapping into the Black Garnet.

"The experiment has been more effective than I could ever have dreamed, this proves my hypothesis correct!" She said excitedly spinning around the lab. "With the Black Garnet functioning at two hundred percent power the precarious equilibrium that governs all of Etheria's natural functions has been thrown into complete chaos! No doubt as a result of the other elemental runestones.." Suddenly she was stopped by Catra who stopped her chair with her foot.

Catra took the recorder from Entrapta then spoke into it. "Translate." She said.

Entrapta obviously annoyed by Catra's slow mind uses her hair and model to demonstrate. "By making the Black Garnet more powerful, we've sapped power from the other princesses Runestones, upsetting the balance and making the weather go screwy." She placed a power draining device near a red light and as it got brighter the other lights grew ever dimmer.

"It's all in my notes if you'd like to…"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa wait! What was that you just said about making the other princesses less powerful?" Catra asked with interest pushing away Entrapta's note book.

"Well the Elemental princesses, that is" Entrapta explained as she was referring to princesses with runestones. "You don't have to worry about me and Scorpia. I don't have a runestone and Scorpia doesn't appear to have any connection to the Black Garnet anymore... if she ever did."

Said scorpi Force Captain was too busy looking at the monitor to hear the conversation. "Huh? Somebody say my name?"

Catra not interested in her at this point looked at the model of Etheria and tapped on one of the green lights. She then had a thought. "And how would we make an effect like that... Permanent?" She asked the tech savvy princess.

"Well, I'd have to run more tests to know for sure but…" As Entrapta spoke Catra kept tapping on the bulb with her claw until it shattered like glass. This caused the other bulbs to go out whilst the red light representing the Black Garnet grew stronger.

"Ah." Scorpia awed.

"Or yeah, that should work too." The tech princess noted. Catra knew exactly what she had to do next and where to do it.

"Get a strike team together, we're going to Bright Moon." Catra ordered as she walked to the side.

Scorpia was most taken aback, why would they risk an attack on Bright Moon? "Bright Moon? Why?"

"Because, we're going to take out Bright Moon's Runestone, and with the Whispering Woods frozen over... there's nothing stopping us." Catra explained looking at the monitors displaying the frozen woods crumbling which meant there was now a clear path to Bright Moon.

"Uh yeah about that…." Scorpia started being the wet cloth. "When the sparkling princess escaped that strange ship they escaped in blew up half the tanks and skiffs in the vehicle bay. So we wouldn't have much of a strike team."

She was right upon the Princess Alliance's and Bens escape from the Fright Zone, Rook had used his Proto Truck to destroy the vehicle bay and a majority of their arsenal with it.

Catra however didn't seem bothered by that. "So we'll just take whatever we have, I'm not gonna let this one chance to cripple the Rebellion slip through our fingers!" She said as she left the room.

Bright Moon:

Meanwhile the darkness had spread over the skies of Bright Moon which wasn't looking so, bright. Queen Angella stood under her runestone, a strike of red lightning struck an invisible barrier which was cast by herself is greatly worried in the current crisis.

Using her wings she flies up to the moonstone and focuses her power through it to recharge it. The two glowed bright pink as suddenly a large column of light soared into the sky.

High in the stormy sky the Best Friend Squad were trying to navigate the ever bright strikes of lightning. Swift Wind was crying in fear as She-Ra, Bow, Rook and Glimmer cling to the flying horse for dear life. For Astrodactyl it was worse the crosswinds caused by the storm were wreaking his flight pattern. He tried his best to blast clear of the storm but the strong winds finally blew him back towards the group.

"Guys its no good I can't see anything in this storm!" Astrodactyl cried to them.

"We must be close by now?!" She-Ra cried.

"Well we gotta find it soon." Astrodactyl looked to the hourglass symbol on his shoulder. "Cause I don't want to be up here when the Omnitrix times out!"

This was true if they didn't find the kingdom soon not only would they be struck by lightning and fall to their death. Ben would also time out and fall to his death anyway if the lightning didn't get them first.

Then Bow suddenly spots a glint out of the corner of his eye. He looks with a hopeful face. "Look!" He points.

The group look and see a column of pink light emerge in the clouds not too far from where they were now. Glimmer recognised that light all too well.

"That's Bright Moon!" She cried happily but then her mood changed when she realised the significance of the light. Something Rook picked up on.

"What is wrong?" He asked.

"It's the distress beacon." She explained.

"Thats never good. Lets jet!" Astrodactyl realised.

"Hang on!" Swift Wind said determined as he flew forwards towards the light whilst Astrodactyl let loose a green star blast propulsion from his jet pack following them back.

As Angella charged her Runestone the group emerged from the clouds. They could see the kingdom come into view. And just in time to. For the Omnitrix started beeping. As Swift Wind landed Astrodactyl hovered over the platform and changed back to Ben. Glimmer dismounted the flying horse and ran to her mother.

"Mom!" She breathed as Angella embraced her daughter in a hug. But there was no time for warm moments. "What's going on?"

"The elements are out of harmony." Angella explained as they stood under the runestone. "The Moonstone is using all its power to counteract the growing cloud of darkness... but it's not enough. It's taking nearly all my strength just to keep my connection with it."

Ben and Rook could see that the queen did look a little weak. She-Ra then reverted back to Adora as she addressed the queen. "That cloud is coming from the Fright Zone." she said.

"So it is safe to assume this is the Hordes doing." Rook realised.

"I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this has something to do with that crystal rock of Shadow Weavers." Ben wondered. "I mean if its a Runestone it could be used to tap into the others right?"

Angella and everyone else were rather surprised. Ben actually made some sense. He could see they were surprised. "What? When your cousins a sorceress and an Anodite you pick up on these things."

"So what's our plan?" Bow asked but saw everyone looked a little unsure. We do have a plan.. right? Guys?"

Adora said nothing as she and Rook looked out upon the Whispering Woods surrounding them. Seeing the trees turn to ice and crumble around it. To them this meant only one thing, the forest was the only defence against a certain evil empire, and now thats gone.

"The woods are frozen over. There's nothing left to shield Bright Moon from the Horde." Adora realised.

"Which means it is only a matter of time before they take advantage of this moment of weakness and launch an attack." Rook agreed coming to the same horrifying realisation.

"We have to prepare for an attack." Adora decided turning to everyone else present.

Soon everyone was gathered in the war council room. The general of the castle was present, as they looked at the holo map. There were two symbols a crescent moon to represent the kingdom and a Horde insignia representing the enemy not too far from them.

"Our scouts have reported citing the entire Horde Army in the woods, moving towards us at top speed." Bow explained as Adora paced around the room. Whilst Ben stood with Glimmer and Angella.

"We must protect Bright Moon at all costs." Angella realised. "If the moonstone is destroyed, there will be nothing left to stop the darkness."

"Not to mention you and Glimmer would be completely powerless. We need to make a stand." Ben agreed.

"Fortunately though it is not all bad news." Rook then spoke. "Based on intel from the perimeter scouts the strike force approaching Bright Moon is rather small. Most likely a result of destroying the vehicle bay upon our escape from the Fright Zone."

Angella did give some sigh of relief knowing that at least there was one advantage. "Excellent, though a small blessing every little bit helps."

"Even so its gonna take more than just us, we're gonna need help to even the odds." Ben then voiced.

"Someone must've seen the distress beacon by now, why hasn't anyone come?" Bow wondered and he was right with the distress beacon lit one of the other kingdoms would have sent aid to them by now. Yet no-one has come.

"The Alliance is broken and other princesses have their own kingdoms to protect." Adora said sounding all but defeated. "No one's coming Bow."

"Adora." Rook then voiced. "We should not give up on Perfuma and the others just yet, they will come."

"Rooks right." Ben agreed. "The other princesses may think they can't stand up to the Horde but when the time comes they'll come through for us."

"But how do you know Benjamin?" Angella asked feeling a little doubt herself.

The Omnitrix bearer honestly didn't know how to answer that but he had some of the words. "Well I don't, call it an act of faith. But I have to believe they'll do whats right in the end."

Despite his words of encouragement everyone else still looked unsure. An act of faith wasn't going to stop the Horde. But then suddenly.

"Someone's come!" A guard suddenly burst through the chamber doors.

"Is it the princesses!" Bow exclaimed hopefully.

"See what'd I tell you!" Ben beamed as he zoomed next to Bow.

However when the guard stood to the side it was revealed to be two certain princesses, who Bow and the others still have no clue what their powers were. Spinnerella and Netossa arms linked entered the room.

"Or….two of them." Ben said with some deflate in his joy. Bow was just the same.

"Oh…..Spinnerella and Netossa ha ha, thanks for coming guys…" Bow tried with some fake enthusiasm.

Netossa just looked at the two boys with a raised eyebrow. "You still don't know what we do, do you?" She asked.

"Aaaah.. no." Bow admitted.

"Seriously?! It's in the name, NET- Tossa." She then hinted only to receive a blink of confusion from the master archer.

"Oh hold on hold on I'm good at this…." Ben said trying to get the hints poking his head with his hands. "Uhh….is it something to do with….nets?"

"YES!" Netossa exclaimed. "NETS, I toss NETS! Okay?!"

"Yes darling, you have beautiful nets." Spinnerella said hugging her beloved in comfort. Which she smiled at. Ben could see instantly these two were a couple. But whilst they knew Netossa's powers they didn't know the other princess's abilities.

"Okay..so what do you do? Spin round in circles?" Ben asked spinning his hand for empathise.

"Oh no not exactly. I can actually generate strong currants of air and even tornadoes." Spinnerella explained.

The bearer of the Omnitrix was a little confused. "Seriously? Then shouldn't you be called like Tornadorella or Twisterella or something?"

"This from the guy who calls a giant flying turtle Terraspin?" Netossa questioned having heard about some of his aliens.

"Point taken." Ben realised. "Okay so net tossing and tornadoes, I think we can work with it." Looking on the positive side.

"At least you have powers, which is more than I've got." Glimmer said realising she still didn't have her powers back. "But it doesn't matter. I don't need magic to fight!"

"Glimmer," Angella said with a concerning hand on her daughters shoulder. "not only are you without your powers but your still glitching, it's too dangerous."

"But mom!" Glimmer protested.

"Your mom is right Glimmer, I don't want any of you risking yourselves." Adora then spoke up getting everyones attention. "She-Ra can do this alone. This is what she's for."

"What?!" Ben said in disbelief. " Where did this come from. Adora as powerful as She-Ra is even she has her limits!"

"Ben is correct even with the combined power of her and the strongest aliens Ben has even that would not be enough to take on an entire strike force." Rook agreed.

"He's right Adora not even She-Ra can take on an army of Horde soldiers ALL on her own." Bow agreed.

Though Adora wouldn't admit it she knew they were right, but what good was her powers if she didn't use them or let alone how to use them. "Then what good is she?!" She cried rather distraught.

Bow looked at Adora rather distraught, whilst everyone looked very taken aback. Adora realised what she had just said and decided she needed to get out of the room. Everyone looked greatly worried. Bow and Glimmer especially. Ben could tell she was letting Light Hopes words haunt her not to mention everything else that happened inside the Crystal Castle. He quickly went after her with Bow, Glimmer and Rook close behind.

They found Adora on the bridge to the Moonstone looking out at the storm. The lightning crashed around her. Ben then joined her and so did their friends.

"Adora…are you okay?" Glimmer asked worried. Ben saw the look in Adora's eyes he knew exactly what she was thinking about. Or rather who.

"Its Catra isn't it?" Ben asked.

Adora let out a sigh before she spoke. "Catra will be leading the Horde when they attack. I have to face her. I can't let her hurt anyone else."

"Adora we've been over this, you don't have to do this alone." Ben explained putting a consoling hand on her shoulder.

Glimmer, Bow and Rook not understanding what happened during their previous absence. Wanted to know what they were talking about. They looked at each other then their friends.

"What happened to you guys in that first one's temple?" Glimmer asked.

Ben and Adora knew there was no hiding what happened any longer. He could see she didn't want to say anything yet so Ben spoke for her.

"Well long story short we found Light Hope, she's kinda like She-Ra's fairy god mother, she told us a lot, most of it I didn't understand." Ben explained. But then came the most difficult part.

Rook noticed the pained look in his partners eyes. "Ben…what else did you learn?"

Ben took a breath before he faced his partner and friends. "We…We found out about Etheria and where in the universe it is, or not in the universe."

Everyone was confused at this point but none the less Adora then helped to explain. "Apparently there was a She-Ra before me some thousands of years ago. Her name was Mara, and she couldn't handle the power and she got us stranded in some shadow dimension called Despondos."

"So that is where we are? In a shadow dimension?" Rook wondered. "But that surely means we can leave and call for reinforcements from the Plumbers to turn the tide."

"Rook. Its not that simple." Ben then said. "Light Hope told me that…that…" He found it hard to say this next bit. "When something enters Despondos….it can never leave it, and to try and open a portal could cause disaster."

This hit the Revonnahgander like a knife to the heart whilst Bow and Glimmer gasped in shock. They realised that their friends may never be able to return home. Rook took this realisation the hardest.

"You mean…we can never return to Earth?" Rook breathed in disbelief. "But there…there just has to be another way, there always is is there not?"

Ben was silent before he answered. "I…I don't know Rook. For once…I..I honestly don't know."

The two plumbers were completely hurt by this. They were stranded on this planet and now, there was no possibility of a return trip. Glimmer looked at the two of them with a look of the two of them they now felt hollow inside like this didn't seem real.

"Oh guys I am so sorry." She breathed. Ben honestly didn't know how Rook would take the news but then. He felt a hand on his shoulder and it was his partners.

"We may not be able to return home, or ever will. But right now this planet and its people need our help." Rook said with determination. "As you said when we first came here. When did we sit back and watch a show without saving people?"

Ben could see this news did knock Rook, but that didn't seem to stop him from wanting to help, even if he didn't see his family again. In this moment Ben felt a fresh breeze of confidence on him.

"Yeah we never do." Ben smiled with confidence. Glimmer, Bow and Adora looked at them smiling despite all the hardship it wasn't enough to bring them down. But this wasn't the end of the story.

"But I'm guessing that wasn't the only thing you saw in there was it?" Glimmer realised.

Adora's mood turned saddened as she looked down to the floor. "No… We saw Catra in there. I thought I could get through to her, but all I did was push her farther to the side of evil." She closed her hand saddened. "Light Hope said that I'd endanger my friends by coming back and she was right. Everything that's happening now is my fault…"

"No it isn't." Ben then said to her. "Besides Light Hope is wrong, this isn't your doing Adora. There are somethings that are beyond our control we might wish it were but it isn't."

Adora and her friends listened to what Ben had to say. "We both saw your memories of you and Catra, and I'm sorry you couldn't get through to her but thats not your fault." He explained. "Whoever she was back then, the person she is now she's not the kind you help. She's the kind you stop, besides she made her choice." Adora hung on every word that was said to her. "Someday you'll have to stop taking the blame for her choices."

Just then Adora felt she was being hugged and she was by Glimmer who ran to her and hugged her. "He's right. You've got this. And we've got your back."

"Because we have something the Horde do not." Rook agreed. "We work as a team."

With that everyone gathered in a group hug. Adora knew that despite the gloom of their situation. What didn't change was their connection to each other and the friendship they shared.

"Now come on, the Horde will be here soon. We have to be ready." Glimmer then motioned as they headed back into the castle to prepare for the attack to come.

Glimmers room:

Glimmer opened a door in her room and when she did everyone looked in awe. Inside it was a collection of weapons. Swords, shields, armour, spears, maces and of course arrows.

"Welcome to the Bright Moon armoury!"Glimmer introduced. "Well it's not really but I've been sneaking weapons and stashing them in here for months!"

"Dibs on arrows!" Bow said excitedly as he hurried into the armoury.

"I call the swords!" Ben exclaimed happily as he barged passed Glimmer. Adora went in still wide eyed and Rook was still in amazement.

Glimmer just groaned in annoyance. Bow rubbed his hands eagerly as he picked up the arrows in the room. Ben just looked at the selection of weapons to choose from. He was especially keen in the swords. Rook meanwhile took one of the round shields off the desk and put it on. He flexed his arm and swung it around.

"Wow Rook, for a moment you kinda looked like Captain America." Ben noticed.

"That was a film Ben?" Rook questioned.

"Dude its a compliment." Ben chuckled as he picked up one of the swords. Rook then noticed some staffs in the corner.

Meanwhile while Adora looked at the different weapons Swift Wind entered the armoury and looked with wide eyes and saw something amazing. Adora felt him nudge her shoulder she turned to her steed who had stars in his eyes. He was gazing at the cube spiked mace. Hinting that he wanted to use his begging eyes though.

"Ah no." Adora decided and Swift Wind held his head in disappointment.

Glimmer was looking over a staff as a possible weapon. However just then. "Glimmer."

Called a voice which made Glimmer jump in fright as she looked to see her mother standing in the jumped in fright as he dropped the arrow he was holding and Ben just hid the sword he was holding behind his back.

"Ah ma mom! How'd you know we'd be in here?" Glimmer said in surprise while playing the innocent act.

Sadly it didn't wash with the queen. "Did you really think I wouldn't notice you were hoarding weapons?" Angella said in a disapproving tone.

"I'm sorry mom. I can't just stand by while my friends and my home are in danger." Glimmer pleaded as she approached her mother. "I have to do this."

"I know." Angella said much to everyones surprise.

"Mom I... wait, what?" Glimmer said rather surprised.

"I've been trying all these years to mold you into someone more like me." Angella explained. "but you're too stubborn and hotheaded, and brave.. like your father." Angella then summoned to her hand a purple and pink staff with a rounded moon on top of a pink star shape. It was similar to that of the symbol of Mystacor.

"This was your father's staff, I think it's time you had it." She said as she handed it to her daughter.

Glimmer took the staff in her hands with tears in her eyes. Wipping them away and embraced her mother in a hug. Ben smiled warmly at this moment. In a way it was like when he left the Null Void after finding his Grandpa Max helping its inhabitants.

Bow, Adora and Rook looked with warm smiles in this moment too. However the moment was shattered when suddenly a loud explosion shook the room. The two royals gasped in fright. They knew what this meant.

"They're here!" Adora realised. Ben then looked to everyone in the room.

"No matter what happens to us we can't let the Horde, destroy the Moonstone. If they want this kingdom then lets give them a reception they'll never forget!" He said taking charge.

"We understand Ben." Bow said determined.

With that Adora rose her sword in the air. "FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!" She exclaimed as she transformed into She-Ra. But this time wearing golden battle armour that covered her chest with an enlarged version of her symbol. Pointer wings on her tiara and longer shoulder pads.

The others made their preparations. At the Prototruck Rook was clipping on a belt with ammo clips for his weapon. Ben cycled through his alien playlists in the Omnitrix until he selected one and slamming down the dial he transformed. Whilst Bow gathered arrows made by both him and Rook and placing them in his quiver.

The group emerged from the castle. Bow and Glimmer were in battle armour of their own. Glimmers was violet silver armour she wore on her chest, shoulder and hand gauntlets with crystals in them. Bow had golden armour which showed his heart symbol and golden shoulder pads. Rook wore metalic white armour similar to Bows but bore an Omnitrix symbol and a red spot Plumbers badge on his belt which had attachment clips for his Photo Tool and smaller hand blasters.

Ben emerged as a rather large muscular sasquatch like alien with black and yellow fur with four grey fingers. Two bolts on the side of his wrists, with green eyes and yellow lighting bolt shaped horns. On his waist he wore a green and white belt and the Omnitrix symbol lay in the centre.

The group looked and saw emerging from the woods was a small Horde Strike force with a small number of tanks and robot drones. But a large platoon of soldiers. She-Ra looked at the approaching forces and then to the Runestone that shone. She knew that was their target.

She-Ra breathed nervously as she gripped her sword. Glimmer placed her hand on hers in support. She looked to her friends who despite facing impossible forces were looking confident.

"We got this. Right?" Bow said confidently.

"Yeah…" She-Ra looks at a confident Glimmer and Shocksquatch . "Definitely."

"They're going to be sorry they ever tried to mess with Bright Moon." Glimmer said as she held her staff confidently.

"Let us hope we make it through." Rook hoped.

"We will, but remember if we go down we go down fighting together eh!" Shocksquatch said with determination.

The group nodded in agreement. They looked to see the Horde tanks approach from the woods. One trained its cannon on the Runestone and fired a green energy blast towards it. It was approaching fast.

"Incoming!" Rook cried.

"Defend the Castle." She-Ra instructed as she leaped into the air and sliced the energy blast in half with her sword and the blasts hit the mountains surrounding the castle.

She-Ra landed in the water below and slashed the water with her sword creating a massive wave which pushed the tanks back towards the woods. Using her sword She-Ra slices off the top of a tank. Only to find theres no-one inside, instead was something far worse. To her surprise it was a bomb which beeped then exploded catapulting her back onto the water.

Moments after a small squad of Skiff craft manned by Horde Soldiers attacked lasers firing. However they paid no attention to the Princess of Power. Their main target was the castle itself. Bombarding it with laser blasts.

From the castle Glimmer and Swift wind who now also wore gold armour on his head and chest. Watch as she was outnumbered.

"Adora!" Glimmer cried.

Shocksquatch knew this was time to act so rubbing his hands together he generated large bolts of static electricity. He leaped into the air and then with all the energy focused to his right fist. Slammed it into the water creating a shock wave of electricity which hit the skiffs and shorted them out instantly.

The Gimlinopithecus held his finger up like a gun and blew on it. "Heh I guess they got a real shock out of that eh!" He cracked. But The Horde wasn't done yet as three more skiffs emerged from the forest.

From his vantage point he could see the Moonstone dim. He knew what he had to do. "Okay item one…" He slammed the dial on his waist and switched to Diamondhead.

"Make sure they can't hit the stone." He said. He placed his hand on the ground near the castle and emerging from the ground were three crystal walls which surrounded the Moonstone.

The group above were surprised but could see why this was needed. Despite this though Glimmer and Bow saw they were outnumbered. Suddenly Glimmer yet again glitched cringing in pain.

"They need our help." Glimmer decided.

"Go to them." Angella said to them. "I'll keep The Moonstone lit in the darkness away from the battlefield as long as I can."

Glimmer saw her mother was firm in her decision, but she was worried so she turned to Rook. "Rook. I know you want to be out there and help Ben and Adora but…."

"Glimmer." He said putting a hand on her shoulder. "You do not need to ask. I will stay and protect the Queen, I do not know how long Bens shield will last so I will protect her as best I can. Even if it costs me my life."

The Princess smiled knowing her friend understood she quickly gave him a hug before she joined Bow in mounting Swift Wind. "FOR THE REBELLION!" Swift Wind proclaimed as they flew down to the battle field.

Angella looked at Rook and took his arm as she flew herself and him up to the Runestone itself. She looked at the diamond shields that were made.

"Will these defences hold Rook?" She asked.

"Well the Horde tanks would have to get rather large to breach the Taydanite. It should slow them down, but not for long." Rook explained. "Do not worry I have your back."

Angella nodded at the Revonnahgander knowing he meant it. She therefore focused her energy into the Runestone whilst Rook stood Proto Tool at the ready. The Moonstone suddenly let out a pulse of light energy which forced the small Horde attack force back.

Diamondhead went over to She-Ra and helped her to her feet. The two then gazed upon an approaching Horde skiff. The two nodded as Diamondhead made his hand into a blade and the two sliced their respective weapons into the engines on both sides of the Skiff. The craft flew out of control and crashed into a cliff.

Another Skiff approached and Diamondhead fired several crystal shards at the engine which caused it to explode catapulting the soldier off a small group of orbed Horde bots approached. She-Ra readied herself to fight whilst Diamondhead slammed the Omnitrix and switched to Swampfire.

He tossed from his hands small seeds which upon hitting the bots then erupted as roots. They ensnared the bots then crushed them causing them to explode. Another bot approached and fired a blast of energy which She-Ra deflected whilst Swampfire unleashed torrents of fire from his hands melting the bots down.

"I'd like to see Perfuma do that!" Swampfire cracked.

However their victory was short lived as more Horde bots emerged from the forest. The two readied themselves for battle. All of a sudden an arrow flew in from out of nowhere and struck the bot in the side and then exploded.

She-Ra and Swampfire looked up and heard a horse neigh from above. It Bow and Glimmer riding Swift Wind weapons at the ready. She-Ra smiled as did Swampfire knowing their friends had their backs.

The trio flew over some Horde Bots and Glimmer leaped down from the flying horse and jammed her staff into the robots head causing it to spark. She jumps off just when it explodes.

Bow still riding Swift Wind fires a golden arrow from his namesake which strikes an incoming Horde bot right in its eye. Which then explodes.

She-Ra looked and saw a larger spider legged Horde Drone was firing its lasers towards the castle. She swung her sword and tossed it sending it crashing into the robots lower body causing it to fall to the ground pouring out smoke.

She retrieves her sword from the wreck when all of a sudden came the sound of blaster fire. She gasped and saw a Horde Tank firing at the castle side causing the side wall to crumble. Swampfire then noticed another tank attacking the opposite side.

"You take that one!" He said to She-Ra pointing at the tank behind her. "I'll take this one." He pointed to the tank on the opposite side. The two hurried to stop their tanks.

She-Ra turned her sword into a shield and leaped in the air and blocked the blast from the tank which forced her back. She landed in the water still holding her shield. After a few quick breaths she got up and saw the Runestone was still proteted. However, she was too slow to act when a blast of green light hit her in the side blasting her across the water and dropping her shield which sank to the bottom.

Meanwhile the other tank was getting ready to fire its cannon. The soldier inside pulled on the trigger. But to his surprise there was no blast no large explosion. He looked confused and inspected the controls. When suddenly he heard a large thud from outside like the tank hit something. He opened his cabin and saw his tank had been completely disassembled into pieces.

He felt a tap on his helmet and he turned to see a certain red alien gremlin dressed in black and green.

"Looks like you've had a spanner in the works ha ha!" Juryrigg giggled before he smacked the helmet with a metal rod knocking him out. The alien gremlin turned to see a squad of Horde Soldiers armed with taser sticks approaching him. But all the little one could do was let out a mischievous cackle.

"Oh you guys think you got me outnumbered huh?" Juryrigg asked as he moved to pull something out. "Well….SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!" He pulled out the former cannon turret of the tank and made it into a large gun.

He pulled the trigger and fired large energy blasts at the soldiers who all but fled in a panic as Jury-rig laughed like a maniac. "Oh kids, don't try this at home I'm a trained professional!" He then said to the fourth wall.

Back with She-Ra she had recovered from the blast of that cannon. However in that moment she realised she had dropped her shield/sword. Still in pain and now without a weapon to defend her she searches the water for her shield with her vision ever dimming. Her gaze then looked to a tank where a certain feline Force Captain now stood.

"Hey Adora." She smirked.

She-Ra stood up glaring remembering what Catra did to her and Ben. "Catra. Surprised to see me?"

"Not really, I figured it wouldn't be that easy to get rid of you." Catra admitted so casually as she looked to see a certain shapeshifter make short work of the soldiers. "Or Benny boy for that matter."

Forgetting her lack of a weapon She-Ra screamed as she ran up to the tank and tried to crush Catra with a double fist slam. The feline leaped into the air as She-Ra's fists dented the tank.

Catra landed on a floating rock above the Princess of Power. She looks down on her unamused. "You know, I'm actually glad you did make it out of there alive…." She admitted much to the princess's surprise.

"….Because now." her sharp claws came out of her fingers. "I can take you out myself." She said leaping towards her opponent landing a claw slash.

High above in the starless space in Etheria's orbit all seemed quiet. When without warning a strange wormhole opened and a small object passed through into the shadow dimension. It was a certain capsule launched from a certain planet. The onboard scanner scanned the area as it flew forwards when it detected a certain energy signature.

"Omnitrix signature detected." The computer sounded as the thrusters blasted the capsule forward towards the planet. Once close enough the capsule opened and released the spherical pod which drew closer to Etheria's atmosphere.

Back in the battle Swift Wind flew with Bow avoiding a laser blast from the Horde bots. Just as they flew past a Skiff it then gave chase.

However much to the surprise of the crew manning it Glimmer leaped up to it and twirled her staff knocking them off it. The Skiff crashed into the sea forcing Glimmer to abandon ship and landed in the water facing a Horde Tank manned by a certain scorpion Force Captain.

"Well isn't that nice?" Scorpia addressed as Glimmer readied for battle. "You've accessorised! Not that it's going to help you!"

Just before she could attack a purple tornado generated by Spinnerella appeared and she forced the gust of winds pushing the Horde troops back as she landed near Glimmer. Netossa was up next with a small ball of light lines in her hand. She tossed it and it unraveled to reveal a net made of light which completely trapped the Horde Soldiers and Scorpia.

"BOOM! Nets!" Netossa cheered.

However it wasn't over yet for suddenly another group of Skiffs and Horde soldiers were approaching. The Princesses readied themselves. However a green flash of light appeared and landing in front of them was a small alien in a white silicon suit with bulging green eyes and headphones on it with black lines, stubby legs, green circles on his hands and a familiar hour glass symbol rested on his head.

The princesses were surprised but Glimmer knew this was Ben. "You girls better cover your ears!" Echo Echo warned in a robotic voice.

"Why?" Spinnerella asked.

"Just do it!" He said again. With that the three princesses covered their ears and as the Horde Forces got closer.

"WALL….OF…." Echo Echo readied himself. "SOUND!"

He split into clones of himself and unleashed a massive wave of sound yelling at the Horde ever loud sound waves pushed them back and sent them flying into the trees. Scorpia who was nearby covered her ears at the noise.

The Princesses did the same. "WHOA THATS LOUD!" Glimmer shouted.

"WHAT?" Netossa shouted not being able to hear her.

Eventually Echo Echo's yelling died down as the Horde Forces had been blasted away. The copies looked rather proud of themselves until Netossa grabbed the prime by his suit collar.

"Seriously nearly deafening us what kind of attack is that?!" She exclaimed.

"Sorry, I did warn you didn't I?" Echo Echo said.

As the net princess dropped him to the ground he heard the sound of grunting nearby. He looked and on the floating rocks he saw She-Ra battling a certain former feline acquaintance of hers.

"Catra!" He growled squinting his eyes as he slammed on the Omnitrix blinding the Princesses in a green flash of light.

She-Ra and Catra were duking it out on the floating rocks around Bright Moon. The princess of power threw several punches towards the feline Force Captain who leaped away to avoid. She-Ra threw a kick forcing her opponent back to the rock wall. Landing a double fist strike onto the rocks only for Catra to slip away and avoid it.

On the ledge She-Ra kept throwing punches and slams on the ground only for Catra to avoid them laughing as she did so. Catra delivered a clawed upper cut to She-Ra's face then leaps away from another punch to land on the floating rocks above where she crouched.

She-Ra let out some exhausted breaths before looking up to her opponent.

"Tired already? I thought punching was supposed to be like…the one thing you're good at." Catra teased only for a lone pebble to hit her in the head. She glared at the one who threw it.

"And I thought you were supposed to be quicker." She-Ra glared.

She was about to leap into the air when suddenly they heard the sound of something speeding towards them. Catra looked but suddenly received a punch from a blur of black and blue which knocked her back. Taking her by surprise. The blur came again and landed another strike to her face which knocked her back again.

She-Ra was confused at what was happening. So was Catra something was hitting her but what. The blur zoomed past and catapulted her backwards falling to the ground on her feet.

Then stopping in front of her from a clearing cloud of smoke looked like a humanoid velociraptor clad in black armour with a conned head and a black visor with a blue glowing 'X' shape on it. With black orbs on his blue clawed feet and three pointed claw hands and blue arms he had a green stripe running down from his neck and a familiar hourglass symbol on his chest. His visor then lifted to reveal a blue face with green eyes, black lips and lines coming down his eyes.

"Wow I guess cats really do land on their feet." XLR8 smirked.

Catra just looked surprised but gave an unamused smirk knowing it was a certain shapeshifter. "Wow I knew Adora survived but I never thought you would Benny." She said as the Omnitrix beeped and reverted Ben to his human form.

"Please Catra, I've been thrown of cliffs, nearly drowned, almost stepped on and faced everything the universe can throw at me." Ben said. "Oh and by the way my hands still hurt!"

Catra just snickered as she shook her head. "So, who's it gonna be then?" She asked. "Diamondhead? Rath? the dog one or that useless ball?"

Ben smirked in response knowing exactly which form to use. One he'd been saving for just such an occasion. "Nope none of those, but a new one I've been saving just for you. Wanna know why it's so special?"

"No but I'm sure your gonna tell me?" Catra just said unamused as Ben activated the Omnitrix selection dial and the dial appeared.

"Because you might say…" He slammed down the dial and Catra was blinded by a bright green light. Once it faded she looked, and what she saw made her gasp in shock. For standing before her was almost like her reflection. Thats because it was in a way, only a male version.

"…It's your own worst enemy." Razor Kat smirked.

The female feline was completely taken aback somehow the shapeshifter had become her reflection. She never once saw one of her own kind before.

"Wha…h..how do you look like me?!" She then demanded.

"You know funny thing about this watch of mine." Razor Kat explained. "It doesn't just store alien DNA it can scan and add uncatalogued DNA to its collection. When you scratched the watch back at the Sea Gate, you didn't damage it. It just scanned your DNA, and Razor Kat here is the end result."

He then crossed his hands and sharpened his claws. "So wanna find out who has the sharper claws?" He asked in a hinting way.

The feline Force Captain just smirked as she sharpened her own claws staring down her opponent. The two circled each other with glaring eyes snarling and hissing at each other like the cats they were.

Catra attacked first slashing her claws at her opponent who just dodged and ducked from all the strikes. He leaped over her then landed a kick to her back knocking her forwards. She counters the attack with a spin kick knocking Razor Kat into a rock wall. Catra runs ready to slash him only for the male cat to duck slide under her legs grab her tail and swing her across the rock.

Catra stood up glaring as Razor Kat attacked slashing at her with his claws which she just dodged. Then giving him a clawed upper cut to the face. He responded with a slash across her arm causing her to shriek in pain as she jumped back. She looked at her right arm and saw some claw marks on them.

Razor Kat landed opposite her. "Not so great being on the receiving end of that huh?" He said showing his claws had a drop of blood sliding off his index finger.

Before Catra could respond to that crack another opponent of hers leaped in and she narrowly dodged She-Ra's punch which dented the rock. But that left her open to a roundhouse kick from Razor Kat knocking her near the edge.

She-Ra then stands beside her friend. "Thought you were helping the others?" She asked.

"I was but I thought why let you have all the fun." Razor Kat smirked. "Besides, I've got your back Adora."

She-Ra smiled at that note as they turned their attention towards their opponent. She looked back and saw she was too close to the edge. As She-Ra threw a punch Catra leaped down and landed on the rocks below. However when she looked up she saw Razor Kat leap down and throw a downward slash at her forcing her back. Then followed By She-Ra who slammed her fist into the rock shattering it completely with her enhanced strength leaving the trio falling to the ground.

She-Ra and Razor Kat slid on their feet landing. Whilst Catra rolled across the ground and onto all fours. Then looking up at her opponents.

"Give it up Catra, there's no way you win this" She-Ra said as the three circled each other.

"Yeah look around your forces are barely standing up and that was before Rook totalled your vehicle bay." Razor Kat snarled.

"I already made it a lot further than anyone thought I would." Catra snarled. She kicked a pebble at She-Ra who knocked it back only for Catra to leap into the air She-Ra swings her fist forward misses and the feline lands on the princess's back. Running her claws down her shoulder blades.

She-Ra cried out in pain much to Catra's pleasure. "You on the other hand, you're not looking so good."

Suddenly something yanks her leg and its Razor Kat who angrily swings her into a rock wall. He runs at her and lands a punch in the face.

"You're one sick kitty you know that! You'd cause an environmental catastrophe just to beat Adora!" Razor Kat yelled. "After all you've both been through!"

He threw another punch only for Catra to catch it much to his shock. "You should've stayed dead." She slashed his chest causing him to cry in pain facing him back.

He looked and saw his cuts had small traces of blood. She-Ra looked in shock at her wounded friend but he was still standing. He helped her to her feet. Suddenly they heard Catra's insane laugh echo in the air.

"This isn't over!" She-Ra called out.

"OF COURSE it's not over!" Catra yelled as she landed on She-Ra's back and clawed her face.

"Adora!" Razor Kat exclaimed only for Catra to streak by and claw his own left shoulder blade forcing him to the ground.

"It won't be over until Bright Moon is destroyed and the rebellion falls." Catra called from her hiding place in one of the floating rocks. "It won't be OVER until darkness covers Etheria forever. And it won't be over until I see the looks on your friends' faces when they find out you failed." She-Ra was kneeling on the ground listening to her former friends taunts whilst this was just making Razor Kat angrier and angrier.

"That you and your pathetic friend were too WEAK to save them! And I'll enjoy the fact that you both will have failed! That your so called families will never get to see how truly WEAK YOU ARE!"

That snapped something in both She-Ra and Razor Kat. She-Ra used her strength to lift a rock from beneath her and toss it at the rock Catra was resting on shattering it. She-Ra then gave Razor Kat a boost and propelled him in the air for him to land a drop kick clean on Catra's face sending her clawing on the edge of the cliff. Suddenly after another green flash a large brown hand Grabbed the feline and pinned her against the wall.

She was looking right into the eyes of Humungousaur who growled like an angered predator. "Leave. Them out of this! ITS OVER YOU LOSE!"

"You've lost Catra." She-Ra glared at the restrained Force Captain.

However all she could do was smile. "You sure about that?" She smirked.

Humungosaur and She-Ra wondered what the feline villainess was talking about. Then suddenly when they turned their heads they gasped seeing more and more Horde Tanks arriving. It was clear they had rebuilt a majority of their forces. Even more Horde Bots had arrived on the scene.

They focused they fire on the crystal walls defending the Moonstone. With one last blast they crumbled to pieces and the Runestone was exposed to the laser blasts. Angella saw this and raised her own shield around herself and the Runestone.

The two looked horrified as Catra just snickered. "What? Did you really think this was about you?"

"This..this was all a diversion!" Humungousaur realised.

"Yeah I got you with the same trick twice." She said slipping out of the Vaxasaurian's grip and leaped away leaving She-Ra and him in a daze. "That Runestone is your last defense... isn't it?" Catra laughed admiring her nails as She-Ra ran from the scene. "HAHAHAHA! Have fun!"

Humungousaur just glared in hate towards her. "You coward!" Before he also took his leave.

With the Moonstone under constant assault Glimmer had just swatted away another Horde Bot. She stopped for a moment to catch her breath. She was clearly fading. However she looked in horror glancing at the Runestone as it was under assault and let out a bright golden wave.

"NO!" She glitched in pain as she hurried to reach her mother and the Moonstone.

Under the Moonstone Angella screamed as she gave every last ounce of strength into protecting the magical stone. "Your majesty!" Rook exclaimed in concern and suddenly they heard the sound of an approaching Horde Spider Bot.

Angella couldn't turn away from the stone or it would be venerable. So Rook quickly pulled out his Proto-Tool and fired at the bot instantly destroying it. However another took its place.

"Save the stone your majesty I will handle them!" Rook exclaimed to her as he charged into battle whilst activating something on his gauntlet.

Far below Glimmer battled her way through two Horde soldiers and made her way up the stair case towards the Moonstone alter. Suddenly a familiar looking scorpion tail blocked her way. Scorpia appeared and she didn't look in the best of moods.

"So where were we? Oh yeah, I was about to punch you!" Scorpia exclaimed throwing a punch at the princess.

Meanwhile She-Ra fought through a squad of Horde soldiers on the water hurrying to reach the Runestone herself. However she remembered she was still missing a certain weapon of hers.

"Where's my shield?" She-Ra wondered as she searched the water looking for her missing weapon amongst the wreckage and rocks on the floor.

Suddenly a cord wrapped around the Princess of power shocking her with electricity. It was from a Horde Soldier. She-Ra tried to break free but three more electro cords came and restrained her pinning her to the ground with the constant electric shocks. She cried out with effort.

Horde Tanks were sent flying into the air as Humungousaur who had now doubled in size with plates on his arms and spies on his spine and tail, was smashing tanks left and right even grabbing one and ripping it in half with his bare hands. Suddenly he heard a pained cry, he looked and saw She-Ra was in trouble. He growled as he swatted a squad of soldiers out of the way and ran to her.

Suddenly a blast of concentrated energy hit him in the side knocking him back. He looked and saw a large number of Horde tanks training their cannons on him. They fired constant fire upon the Vaxasaurian who crossed his arms and tried to block the blasts of cannon fire. Despite his thick armour there was only so much he could take. He could feel his armoured skin burning as he roared in pain trying to fight back. His efforts were futile as he yelled being catapulted across the water and landed flat on his back.

The Omnitrix suddenly flashed red and it reverted Humungousaur back to Ben. He sat up groaning with smoke pouring off his shoulders. He looked and saw a group of Horde Soldiers approaching him. He tried the Omnitrix but it only flashed red. He couldn't transform. So he decided to change tactics.

"Fine." He growled as he removed his jacket and faced the Horde Soldiers with his fists up. "Then we do this the old fashion way!" Despite his lack of strength he threw his fists forwards.

Bow had landed an upper cut to a Horde soldier he fought sending him crashing to the ground. The master archer took several deep breaths as he was starting to lose ground as well. Then in the waters below him he saw a shimmering object glowing in the water.

He picked it up and it was a certain golden winged shield belonging to a certain Princess of Power.

"Uh oh." Bow realised as he heard a cry of pain seeing She-Ra at the mercy of four Horde Soldiers. His gaze was then directed to see Ben was fighting a group of soldiers without his aliens. However despite the self defence training given to him by his cousin he was losing ground fast as one soldier punched him to the ground.

High in the Moonstone pedestal Rook had sliced through another spider bot that had crawled up to destroy the stone and kill the Queen he was protecting. Rook looked back and saw that Angella was almost at her breaking point putting all her strength into the stone. Suddenly a blast from the side caught her attention. Another larger Spider bot was approaching her. Rook blasted another bot closing in on him and hurried to the aid of the queen.

The spider bot closed in on its prey. Suddenly the Queen unleashed a blast of light on the spider bot and pushed it back. This left the opening for Rook to use his Proto staff and stab it in its core destroying it.

Angella gave a grateful smile to the Revonnahgander however to their horror more Horde bots appeared. Then flying in from above was incoming laser fire from the Proto-Truck now on auto pilot. It swooped in and blasted the bots off the pedestal and then attacked the tanks below.

Angella turned her attention to putting her strength into the Runestone and Rook stood ready for anything. Suddenly more bots appeared. Seeing this Rook turned his Proto Tool into duel blades and faced the incoming robots.

"FOR BRIGHT MOON!" He yelled as he charged forwards. He sliced and stabbed at every incoming Horde bot. Then shifted his weapon into a bow and fired energy arrows at the robots legs weakening them.

Angella threw a barrier to protect herself screaming as she did. Just then a destroyed bot suddenly opened its top to reveal a laser turret. It was still active and it fired on the angelic queen catapulting her into a wall.

"NO!" Rook yelled suddenly he received a blast in the shoulder which sent him crashing to the ground.

The blast had blown off not just the armour but a section of his Proto Tech armour as well. He looked to more incoming robots. He knew the odds were against him and he couldn't win. But when he saw the unconscious queen and the Moonstone dimming above him. All seemed lost. But he swore he would protect the queen and so he formed his duel Proto swords and yelled as he attacked the robots.

He sliced through one then rejoined his weapon into a blaster and blasted another. Only to receive yet another blast to his armour this time to the right shoulder.

The skies darkened over the kingdom as far away Scorpia had pinned Glimmer to the wall with her staff. As Glimmer struggled she saw the Moonstone had gone dim its spark had gone out and the sound of yelling in pain made her gasp in horror.

She cried out as she glitched again whilst being pinned. Scorpia took notice of this too. "Ooh pretty." She said.

The Fright Zone:

Meanwhile in the Black Garnet Chamber the runestone itself grew ever powerful as the elements were completely thrown out of harmony. Entrapta who bore a rather saddened or guilt ridden look on her face placed her face mask on as the stone glowed brighter.

Bright Moon:

Ben was punched across the water and sent crashing to the ground. His face was covered with bruises and scratches from fighting the Horde soldiers. As they closed in on him he still wouldn't give up. But in trying to stand up he cringed in pain knowing he couldn't stand up.

She-Ra was all but weakened in her restraints, and as her vision dimmed she saw Catra approaching her and cupped her face.

"Now it's over." She said smiling as her captive collapsed to the ground and she turned to see Ben beaten and battered with no power at the mercy of the Horde soldiers. The Moonstone was dead with no light.

The Proto Truck in auto pilot kept firing at the tanks but was then blasted in the wing and it crashed to the ground. Their artillery was now gone.

Glimmer screamed as she glitched and pushed Scorpia off of her. Just then Glimmer noticed her staff was sparking, her glitching had somehow activated it. Scorpia charged at the princess. Glimmer used her staff and her glitching sparks to strike the scorpion Force Captain off the stair case and into the waters below.

Glimmer stood exhausted. Suddenly a pair of wings appeared she yelped startled but it was Swift Wind who had come to her aid.

"Come on!" He cried as Glimmer mounted the flying horse and Swift Wind flew like the wind to get to the Moonstone pedestal.

Rook was blasted across the floor in front of the downed angelic queen. He was bruised and battered with his battle armour and his Proto Tech armour cracked and ruined exposing some of his fur. He spat blood out of his mouth as the remaining Horde Spider bot approached him. He held his weapon in his hand and stood in front of the queen. She lay unconscious on the floor.

Glimmer and Swift Wind arrived on the scene and she gasped seeing how beaten her friend was and at her mothers unconscious state. As the robot readied its weapons to attack. The princess leaped off the winged horse and jammed her staff into the robot. It shook as she was thrown off its back. It was short circuiting. Thankfully Swift Wind swooped in and kicked it to the waters below with all four of his hooves.

Rook breathed a sigh of relief as he collapsed to the ground. Glimmer gasped as she hurried over to them.

"MOM!" She cried. The pedestal shook as a blast was heard.

"Princess!" Swift Wind cried. Rook looked to the queen and princess with the same look of defeat. Glimmer slowly placed her hand on his knowing that they may have lost.

Ben lay on the watered ground with his vision dimming looking around seeing She-Ra restrained and at Catra's mercy the Horde closing in on them. He too was at their mercy. He had regret in his heart, that this could be his last moment and he never had the chance to see his loved ones again.

Catra stood over the defeated princess with a smirk of victory on her face. However the wind suddenly picked up pace around her and it blew the feline and her soldiers away to reveal the Princess of Power was surrounded by a dome of wind.

Ben was about to be dealt a final blow by a Horde Soldier when suddenly a large net of light ensnared the soldiers and pushed them back. Ben was rather taken aback then he looked to see Netossa standing above him offering her hand which he took.

"Heh…nets who knew." He groaned as the net princess carried him over to She-Ra, Spinnerella and Bow who had just come over to them.

"Adora!" Ben!" Bow said as he went to his friends. He saw Ben was beaten badly and wanted to help.

"Never mind me help Adora!" He said as he and Bow went to their friend. Netossa then throws a net ball at Catra which exploded and formed a shield around the heroes. Bow and Ben quickly untied She-ra from the cords.

"Come on, Don't give up yet. Please! We can still fix this, right?" Bow hands the princess her shield and she looks at her defeated expression in the runestone dim shine. "Please tell me we can fix this."Bow begged.

She-Ra looked to Ben who was all but defeated and the two looked at the approaching tanks of the Horde with Catra at the helm priming them on the burning castle and its defenders.

"ah.. I.. I am sorry." She-Ra said saddened and defeated. She felt a hand on hers and it was Ben who looked with sympathetic tears in his eyes.

"Hey…at least… we go out with a bang." He said with a sobbed laugh.

"Its okay." Bow said as he hugged them both. Spinnerella and Netossa each joined in on the hug as well. Knowing this was truly the end.

Far above Glimmer looked with sorrow seeing her friends at the mercy of the Horde. She looked at Rook with tears. "It has been an honour fighting by your side." Rook coughed as Glimmer hugged him.

The energy cannons on the tanks were pointed at the Runestone humming with energy and Catra smirked with triumph. She had done what no one else could.

Then suddenly a large boom was heard from above. Everyone looked up and saw something in the sky. Bow squinted his eyes and saw what looked like a fire ball coming straight towards them.

"Look!" He pointed out to them. "Whats that coming down?"

They looked and saw it looked like a meteorite blasting down from the atmosphere. But to the Princesses this was impossible as there were no stars in the sky. The meteor crashed down into the ground close to where the heroes were shielded. It smoked in the water within a small crater.

Before they had time to process this suddenly they heard a shimmer coming from below them. She-Ra looked and saw her Runestone in the shield was glowing. But what did this mean? All of a sudden they saw bubbles of water rise from the water below gasped as he knew what this meant as did Bow.

Catra was confused by this when suddenly riding on waves entering the kingdom was a certain boat with a certain mermaid princess at the bow. Mermista raised her hands in the air and focused her powers. Sea Hawk then appeared with a flaming torch in his hand.

"ADVENTURE!" He proclaimed and was about to set the boat on fire. Until a splash of water stopped him and extinguished the source. He was soaking wet.

"Don't do that." Mermista simply said.

"Sorry." Sea Hawk apologised.

The wave arched over She-Ra, Ben, Bow, Spinnerella and Netossa. They all looked in surprise and Ben was the most amazed. The water opened a hole for the heroes. But then washed over the Horde forces sweeping them away. With Catra shrieking in terror.

The boat landed on the shallow waters as Sea Hawk and Mermista disembarked in a whirlpool of water greeting the heroes.

"Tada!" Sea Hawk cheered.

"Mermista! Sea Hawk you came!" She-Ra said in joy.

"Yeah sorry it took so long the sea…kinda sucked today." Mermista said using her powers to extinguish the fires.

"Well you still make an awesome entrance." Ben smirked.

Catra coughed up water as she recovered seeing another princess had joined the fight. She'd come too far to let her victory be taken from her again.

"Come on, GET UP!" She ordered her troops. Suddenly out of nowhere green vines emerged from the ground and ensnared the soldiers in their grasp.

Even entangling the tanks and crushing the turrets like matchwood. Catra was ensnared by the vines in shock. Then some flower petals flew by. Rook looked from the Moonstone pedestal and saw the flower petals flying around him. His eyes widened with hope he knew this could be the work of only one person.

Right on cue flowers emerging on the trees, Perfuma riding a giant vine slide towards the heroes. Rook smiled seeing his friends face and just in their hour of need.

"I saw the distress beacon are you okay?" Perfuma asked. However they couldn't answer as they saw Ben hurrying over to the crash site close to them and they followed.

He arrived at the crater and saw something he didn't believe. It was a familiar looking pod he'd seen many years ago. She-Ra and the other princesses arrived and saw the strange object that came down from the sky. She-Ra recognised the pod from a certain memory of her friend.

Just then the pod shone a green light on Ben scanning him. "Match. Ben Tennyson." A computer voice said startling the group.

The pod then suddenly split open and a green light shone from it and floating up in front of Ben. Was some kind of key looking device in grey and white. He reached his hand out and grabbed it.

"Uh…what is it?" Mermista asked.

"I…don't know." Ben said bemused suddenly it started glowing green. "Huh! Its glowing." He raised the Omnitrix and out of nowhere the face plate retracted and the dial was raised and it shifted into what looked like a key hole.

"I..it's a key!" Ben said in surprise. Everyone else was startled.

"To what?" She-Ra asked. Ben looked and saw the Horde forces were starting to recover. They were still out numbered even with the presence of two more princesses. He looked and realised what he had to do.

"Lets find out!" He raised the key to insert it. "Here goes nothing!" He inserted the key into the Omnitrix and everyone was blinded in a green light.

In a space full of white and green molecules Ben transformed into Four Arms. This time however there was a twist. The dial on his waist turns at 90 degrees with the black parts facing upwards. Suddenly Four Arms becoming encased in what looked like robotic armour with red and whit gauntlets on his hand, his torso and legs had black and red plated armour with traces of white. His upper arms were grey and white armour plated. On his chest he had a red plate running across his chest. His head was encased in a red helmet with two green visors and black lines.

The Omnitrix symbol still resided on his waist. His smashed his fists then struck a pose.

The light faded. The princesses, Bow and Sea Hawk looked in awe. Catra just looked in complete surprise. Even the armoured Tetramand was more than surprised.

"Whoa! Check me out I'm armoured!" He exclaimed.

"Whoa!" Mermista said rather impressed.

"That key must've unlocked some hidden power level!" Bow realised.

"Snazzy." Netossa admitted.

"Its a sign from the universe!" Perfuma exclaimed.

She-Ra looked to her allies and the armoured Tetramand stood side by side ready for battle once again. They stood battle ready. Mermista, Spinnerella, Netossa, and Perfuma readied their powers Sea Hawk and Bow stood ready with their weapons. Four Arms readied his new armour. She-Ra started to glow with a golden aura almost as a result of their unity.

Catra cut herself free from the vines and looked to see the heroes growing in strength. But Catra wasn't going to give up now. She looked and saw she was still in a tank and hopped into the cockpit. She steadied the turret and targeted the Moonstone. She fired the cannon at the support beam. It was hit. Rook and Glimmer holding the still unconscious queen in their arms felt the earthquake.

"No!" She-Ra cried as she ran towards the crumbling tower.

FourArms extended his left hands to reach for the Moonstone. Suddenly they blasted off his wrists and grabbed the tower. The thrusters supported the tower. She-Ra was taken by surprise as she looked at her four armed friend.

"Whoa! I have rocket fists AWESOME!" Four Arms exclaimed excitedly.

As the hands supported the tower suddenly from out of nowhere some ice gathered round the support and stopped it from falling. Fourarms rocket fists returned to him as he and the other princesses were completely taken by surprise as was the controls on the tank turret began to feel gold and ice up with frost. Catra flinched back in surprise from the cold.

The surprises just kept coming as emerging from nowhere was a spike of ice and another which sent the other Horde tanks flying into the air. She-Ra glowed ever brighter and she looked with happiness knowing who was behind this.

Sliding in on a path of ice was none other than Princess Forsta. She was now wearing a blue jacket with white fur linings, a dark blue belt, light grey pants, furled boots in blue and dark blue.

Frosta leaped from her ice path and landed in front of the princesses. "I hope I'm not too late." She asked.

"No! You're right on time!" She-Ra said in relief.

"By the way. Killer entrance kid." Armoured FourArms complimented. To which the young ice princess smiled as she stood with her allies.

She-Ra faced her enemy Catra who all but growled. She-Ra closed her eyes and focused her power then raised her sword high in the air.

"FOR ETHERIA!" She cried and the runestone in her sword glowed bright sending out a blinding light which blinded everyone around them.

Glimmer covered her eyes from the blinding golden light as did Rook. Then suddenly. "Glimmer?"

The two looked and saw Queen Angella had regained consciousness. Much to Glimmers joy. "Mom!" She wasted no time embracing her mother in a hug.

Despite the situation Rook couldn't help but smile at this warming scene. Just then the shining light from the Sword of Protection shone past the two royals and hit the Moonstone which soon shone into life glowing brighter than ever. It sent out a wave of golden light which returned the daylight sky to the kingdom pushing back the darkness. The light even shone across the Omnitrix causing it to glow.

It wasn't just Bright Moon. The light also shone on the other Runestones in Etheria, Salineas, Plumeria, The Kingdom of Snows, one by one the light hit the Runestones supercharging their powers.

In the Fright Zone the light shone on the Black Garnet too. All the machines Entrapta had hooked to it fell off as the Garnet lost all the power it had taken. Entrapta looked in complete surprise as the Garnet darkened and the room was completely black. With only her mask lenses shining.

The balance of power had been restored to its natural state.

Bright Moon:

Rook looked and saw the bright blue sky over the kingdom. Which meant only one thing. "The elements have been restored." He breathed.

Further surprises came. For Angella started glowing in a pearl white colour much to Glimmers surprise as she looked at her mother. Rook was startled too. Angella placed her hand on her daughters cheek then almost like magic Glimmer started to glow in a pink sparkle glow. What the Black Garnet had done to her had been undone she could feel it.

Rook gasped in a smile he saw that his friend had her spark back. He didn't even notice the wounds he had were now healed, though he had a few bruises that didn't matter.

Glimmer laughed with joy as her mother looked at her daughter. "Go on. Go get them." She said happily.

Glimmer with joyous tears in her eyes did as she was told. Joining Rook who then offered his hand. "Well shall we?"

The princess giggled as she took the Revonnahganders hand and teleported away in a burst of sparkles. Swift Wind laughed with joy as he flew away to join the battle below. Angella turned her new found power and focused it through the Runestone.

The glow from She-Ra's sword faded away, she and Four Arms looked and saw the bright skies around the kingdom were back. The darkness it seemed had been vanquished. To further add to their joy the Moonstone was glowing bright again.

"Now thats a beautiful sight." The armoured Tetramand said.

Just then Glimmer and Rook appeared beside Bow, She-Ra and Four Arms, to their joy they saw the princess had her spark back.

"YES!" Glimmer cheered as she and Rook appeared.

"Ha Ha, Glimmer! You're sparkling again!" Bow said with joy.

"Yeah! What I miss?" Glimmer asked then noticed Four Arms. "Whoa Ben you're armoured now?!"

"I know awesome right!" Four Arms said then looked at his partner. "Whoa Rook, you look like hell."

Rook could tell his partner was referring to his injuries. "I believe as they say in your movie culture. You should see the other guys."

She-Ra just smiled happily as she looked at all the Princesses united and standing together. "And the Princesses are united! This is how it's supposed to be."

"Guess a little faith does go a long way." Rook said and Glimmer nodded in agreement.

"What do you say? Ready to finish this?" Mermista asked the other princesses.

"Thought you'd never ask" Perfuma giggled as she stood next to Rook armed with his Proto Tool.

"We're in" Netossa agreed with Spinnerella nodding in agreement.

"Lets do this already!" Frosta said wanting to fight already.

Armoured Four-Arms looked at the Horde forces and to one particularly ticked off feline Force Captain. Behind his helmet he smirked.

"Hey Catra….You know what time it is?" He asked with her glaring at the group before the Tetramand finished his sentence.

"ITS HERO TIME!"

The battle cry sounded and everyone broke off and charged into battle. She-Ra took to the skies on Swift Wind, while Mermista unleashed a wave of water upon the Horde soldiers around her. They were swept away, to then be ensnared by the vines of Perfumas magic trapping the tanks, in their grasp.

The flower princess floated leaves into the air and Frosta turned them to Ice crystals twirling her staff and launching them at the soldiers and were then trapped in ice.

One soldier tried to blast the princesses with a tank but was intercepted by Rook and his Proto blaster shooting him off the tank. Rook converted it into a rocket launcher and fired it at the incoming skiff craft destroying it. A soldier was about to attack him from behind only to be pushed away by an incoming vine. Rook looked and saw Perfuma was the one behind that. He gave a grateful smile which she responded with a little blush.

Suddenly another tank gunner aimed at the princesses and fired it. Thankfully Netossa was there and made a net shield around Rook and the Princesses. The blast was caught in the net which Netossa then threw back at the tanks and exploded destroying them.

It was Spinnerella's turn letting loose a torrent of air sending the wreckage flying off the ground. It even lifted Sea Hawks boat in the air piloted by said captain and Glimmer. The two laughed in adventurous cries before the princess teleported them away just as the boat caught fire and crashed into the soldiers and tanks below.

On Perfumas vines Bow fired arrows from his name sake, and on the vine next to him Rook also formed his Proto bow and fired his own arrows. Glimmer teleported to the two of them after dropping off Sea Hawk and teleported them into the air where they fired their arrows destroying the soldiers and tanks below. Glimmer teleported them to the rocks below.

Four Arms and his new armour attacked slamming his fists into the skiffs and tossing them away like play toys. He then looked to the tanks and fired his duel rocket fists from his right arm to grab the front of the tank.

"Here fellas! Let me give you a hand!.." He pulled his arms back causing the rocket fists to return to him.

"…Or four!" He used his free hands to uppercut punch the tank into the air which then exploded as his rocket fists returned to him.

He then joined Glimmer, Bow and Rook looking to the air as She-Ra riding her steed firing energy blasts from her sword destroying what was left of the tanks. She leaped from her steed and onto the ground below joining her friends.

Just then the runestone in her sword began to glow ever brighter. Bow and Glimmer placed their hands on it and FourArms and Rook placed their hands on their shoulders. Glimmer glowed pink, and the heart shape in Bows chest glowed. The Omnitrix even glowed brightly too. It wasn't long before the other princesses joined them placing their hands on each others shoulders and glowed in their respective colours . On the left stood Glimmer, Rook, Frosta, Perfuma, and Mermista who glowed in pink, cyan blue, green, and turquoise. On the right stood Bow, FourArms, Netossa, Spinnerella and Sea Hawk who glowed in violet and magenta.

As they stood united the runestone in the Sword of Protection glowed brighter and brighter. Catra glared hatefully at the princesses and growled, but there was nothing that could be done now.

She-Ra raised the sword and rising above the united heroes was a rainbow of energy in their respective colours which like a great tidal wave swept away any remaining forces belonging to the Horde. Catra growled as she tried to stand up to this torrent but ultimately she was swept away.

The newly reunited Princess Alliance and their allies stood together as one. A rainbow shined over them and the Kingdom of Bright Moon with pride. Their enemy had been defeated.

The Princesses embraced each other in a hugs Glimmer hugged Frosta whilst Perfuma embraced Mermista and Rook in a hug. Spinnerella and Netossa hugged both Bow and the armoured FourArms in celebration of their victory.

"ADVENTURE!" Sea Hawk proclaimed.

She-Ra was glad her friends and allies celebrated their victory. She looked and saw what was left of the Horde strike force retreat from the kingdom. She specifically noticed Scorpia and Catra fleeing on a Skiff. Catra took a look at her former friend with a defeated look.

She-Ra shared a similar saddened look as she saw the feline Force Captain disappear from view. She felt a hand on her shoulder and it was Four Arms.

"You okay?" He asked in condolence.

"Yeah. I think so." She-ra replied with a warming smile. Just then the Omnitrix timed out and reverted the armoured Tetramand back to Ben.

As he did the two noticed the Omnitrix was glowing. Ben looked and saw it had gone through metamorphosis. The glow had died down and revealed the watch in a new appearance. It was no longer a watch like device it was a green and white bracelet which went up his lower arm on his wrist. The colour scheme was still green and white and it resembled the hourglass symbol. However the dial itself was fully exposed, with a green clamp going around it and a square version of the hourglass symbol on the rear end.

Ben was taken aback. It did resemble a version of the watch his future counterpart had. But he'd smiled with anticipation. She-Ra was surprised she wondered if the watch was always able to do that.

"Well, here we go again." He said with pride.

"Adora, Ben, it's over! Bright Moon is saved." Bow said getting their attention as Swift Wind joined them.

"And the princesses are finally united! We did it!" Glimmer said with joy knowing they had succeeded.

Said princesses were now celebrating amongst each other. "That is how it's done in the SEA, really good job." Mermista exclaimed as Sea Hawk put his arm around her.

"GOOD job Girls! ON to the next." Netossa congratulated as she embraced her beloved Spinnerella.

"Yeah! We did things Together!" Frosta exclaimed with joy as she embraced Perfuma in a hug.

"Isn't this wonderful! Ha ha!" Perfuma agreed as She-Ra, Ben, Rook, Glimmer, Bow and Swift Wind smiled at their achievement.

They then approached their friends to join the celebrations. "Thanks for coming to help us guys." Bow thanked.

"No big besides no Princess left behind right." Mermista said.

"By the way." Ben said. "What changed your minds?" He asked.

Mermista, Perfuma, Sea Hawk and Frosta all looked at each other before answering that question. "Well I guess we were done letting one Kingdom fight all our battles for us." Mermista explained.

"Yes, and maybe we were acting like cowards, we thought we were protecting our homes but. We ignored what was happening around us." Perfuma added. "And I guess our differences are our greatest strength."

Rook smiled at that knowing the flower princess had remembered his words. She smiled back in return. "Really." She-Ra said surprised.

"Yeah gotta admit." Mermista said looking to a certain Omnitrix bearer. "Ben here gives a pretty good speech when he's mad at us."

"Indeed truly inspiring words. Get on board or get out of the way! And we're on board!" Sea Hawk proclaimed.

Ben smiled and shook his head at that remark. He then felt something tugging on his leg and he saw it was Frosta.

"Yeah..I sorta owed you one for saving my life back at Princess Prom. So I decided to return the favour." Frosta said. "And Adora was right joining the Rebellion to protect my home is the best way to go. So I'm in!"

She-Ra and Ben both smiled at that statement. All of a sudden everyone heard a strange beeping noise. They alerted thinking the Horde were back. However it was really coming from Bens wrist, namely the Omnitrix.

The dial suddenly glowed and revealed a hologram of a certain Galvan that Ben recognised. "Hello Ben Tennyson." Everyone was startled by this, but She-Ra recognise this person from Bens memories.

"Azmuth?!" Ben gasped.

"If you're listening to this message it means you've received the 'gift' I sent for you." Azmuth explained. "The key in your possession grants you the abilities of the Omni-Kix armour. The ability to armour up your aliens granting them enhanced abilities. However it puts a massive drain on the Omnitrix and will make you time out faster, so use it sparingly." Ben listened closely as Rook, She-Ra, Bow and Glimmer listened with interest.

"In addition you have been granted extended transformation time and a reduced cool down period, when the Omni- Kix is not in use. I trust it will come in handy use it wisely." Azmuths hologram explained as it disappeared.

Ben thought that was the end of it but suddenly another hologram message appeared. It was from his Grandfather. "Hello Ben." Max said.

"G..Grandpa Max?" He said with a near joyful voice.

"I don't know what happened to land you where you are. But I know I am responsible for what happened. Paradox told me you and Rook are in some Shadow Dimension from which you may never return." Max said Ben and Rook listened carefully as did the princesses and their friends.

"But knowing you I know it won't stop you. Ever since you were a kid, whenever you put your mind to something you never gave up. I guess that was something you inherited from me." Ben listened and even started balling up with tears. "I don't know how long it will take, and whatever your doing it sounds important, just know that wherever this new path takes you, I'll always be with you." Glimmer and her friends could see hearing the voice of a loved one helped Ben and Rook.

"So you and Rook, be safe, look out for each other, and help those who can't help themselves. And don't worry, the Earth is in good hands. Make use of the time given to you Ben, your my hero. And I love you."

More messages were played from, Gwen, Kevin, Shar and even Rooks family.

"Take care of yourself out there Doofus." Gwen said.

"Don't do anything I would do Tennyson." Kevin said.

"Brother." Shar said which got Rooks attention. "I do not know when you might return. But know that I shall lead by your example, you tread the way for me to follow. I will not let you down."

Rook smiled with pride knowing his sister would fulfil his duties in his absence. Then a message from his father, mother, sisters and youngest brother appeared.

"Blonko, my son. We know you are far away beyond even the reach of this universe. But know that no matter where you go your family is with you always." Rook Da said and the words warmed Rooks heart Perfuma held his hand in comfort. "Be safe and wherever this path takes you, you are still the hero I am proud to call my son."

"Kick the butt of alien low lives Blonko BOOYEAH!" Rook Ben said cheering.

The final message appeared and it was from Kai Green. Bens girlfriend. His heart was especially beating by this message.

"Hi Ben, I don't know when I'll see you again, but knowing you thats an intergalactic hero automatic." Kai joked. "But…I know that wherever you are right now the people there need you. So… do what you have to do. Then come home to me…I love you." The message then ended and the hologram disappeared.

A lone tear dropped from Bens eyes and onto the Omnitrix dial. Despite that he may not find a way home, knowing that his loved ones knew he was alive was comfort enough. Rook placed a hand on his partners shoulder with the same tear running down his face.

"They know we are alive." He said. The two were then embraced by Glimmer, Bow, She-Ra and Swift Wind and it did bring them some comfort.

"Hey Ben." She-Ra said getting his attention. "You know you were right, Light Hope is wrong. I don't know how long it'll take but, one day we will find a way to get you guys home."

Ben knew that she meant it and smiled knowing she'd learned well from him to never give up. Just then Queen Angella flew down to join the victorious Princess Alliance. The princesses all bowed to the queen in respect for a fellow royal. She greets the princesses.

Glimmer smiles with joy and wastes no time running to her mother and embracing her in a hug. Which she all but returned in a joyous laugh. The Queen looks to She-Ra, Bow, Ben and Rook who smiled. Angella all but extended her hand for them to join this moment.

She-Ra was a little unsure whilst Ben and Rook didn't know if it was okay to hug a royal. Bow however just pushed them in and with Swift Wind they all shared a warming group hug. Angella wrapped her wings around them. She looked to She-Ra and Ben.

"Thank you." Angella said softly.

She-Ra honestly didn't know what to say but she reverted back to Adora still caught in-between her friends and Ben. With tears of joy in her eyes. Ben had similar tears in the knowledge that his family knew he was alive and well. He didn't know if he or Rook would return home, but he knew they would find a way. And right now he was where he needed to be helping to free this planet.

Bow, Adora, Ben, Glimmer and Rook were comforted by the knowledge that now, they would be ready for whatever the Horde threw at them. For now they enjoyed each others embrace.

The Fright Zone:

Deep in the dark sanctum of the Fright Zone, the defeated Force Captain Catra had returned and entered the throne room of her master. Entrapta and Scorpia stood by her side as they stood before Lord Hordak himself. He sat in his throne and tapped his fingers on his throne arm.

"Force Captain, it seems your experiment has failed." Hordak said in disappointment.

"ON THE CONTRARY!" Entrapta said sitting cross legged in her hair. "The experiment was a huge success, I know more about first one's tech than ever, this is Just the beginning."

"I got us closer to conquering Bright Moon than anyone ever has" Catra reminded despite her failure. "not to mention the whispering woods is still in ruins. Etheria is ours for the taking."

Hordak stood from his throne, and stepped up to his Force Captain. Scorpia was a little nervous for her master said nothing. Then he spoke.

"Very well, force captain Catra." He said to her. "you will have other chances to prove your worth to me... As my second in command."

Catra took glances at Entrapta and Scorpia smiling. Despite failing to conquer Bright Moon she had achieved her other objective. She was finally recognised for her worth, and was now in a place of power. She smiled and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. This battle is over, but the war has only just begun.

Authors Notes: Whew that was a long one. But worth it! It was an intense battle but the Princesses came through and the Alliance is united once again. And yes as some of you will have guessed in the reviews the pod carried the Omni-Kix key from the Ben 10 reboot series which I have to say is the coolest feature to the Omnitrix I've seen yet. And yes the use of the Ultimates is a little overused in some of the Ben 10 crossover Fan fits I've seen so I decided for this crossover to do something different.

During the battle I've used inspiration from The Avengers MCU Battle for New York and some influence from Lord of the Rings too. Also I had Catra finally face Razor Kat which was what I intended to do from the start of this chapter. Also I thought it be a good idea for the Omnitrix to get a make over. One you can expect to see on my Tumblr blog soon.

The alliance is reformed and now that the Omnitrix has been Omni-Kicked the Hordes gonna be in for a whole load of headaches from now on. But now Catra has ascended to Hordaks second in command who knows what will come next. Lets hope Ben, She-Ra and the Rebellion will be up to the task.

Until next chapter FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!
