:Rebel recruitment:

From the point of view of a camera recorder, in the castle of Bright Moon a certain tech master archer was recording a video. Bow decided it would be a great idea to make recruitment videos to help inspire the people of Etheria to join the Rebellion to reclaim their home.

"Hi there!" Bow said to the camera. "I'm Bow tech master for the Rebellion. I'm making videos to inspire people to Join the Rebellion!" He said with a dramatic finger point.

"Yes it is important that we have more inspiring recruits to end this war against the Horde." Rook then inputted.

"So, hi potential new recruits." Bow waved. "You know me and you probably know my fellow rebels." Bow held a small blanket with a picture of Glimmer in a dynamic action pose.

"Glimmer the Princess of Bright Moon." Bow said. "And we've made some new friends too such as Ben Tennyson, who has a magic watch that turns him into things."

"Its not magic its ALIEN SCIENCE!" Ben exclaimed pointing out the facts.

"Yeah that and theres his partner Rook Blonko who like me is good with machines like that weapon of his." Bow continued moving the camera to Rook.

"Hello." Rook waved.

"And Adora." Bow then introduced. "AKA She-Ra! Princess of power!" He said with a dynamic pose.

The camera then shifts to show Adora. "Hiiii." Adora said waving.

"Adora do the thing!" Bow whispered off camera.

"Yeah come on let's see some Razzle dazzle." Ben agreed.

"Oh right." Adora realised. "FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!"

One flashy and glittery transformation later Adora had been transformed into She-Ra Princess of -Ra was now holding the camera high in the air.

"Uh hi." She-Ra said then Bow and Ben came in.

"Yeah bet you don't see this everyday huh, surprised me too when I first saw this!" Ben added.

Flashback:Chapter 2:

"Okay you guys get back to your ship and take cover we'll take care of the Horde." Adora decided.

"But your severely outnumbered!" Rook reminded.

Adora just smirked as she drew a certain sword from her back and raised it into the air before saying some certain words.

"FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!" She proclaimed and everyone was blinded by a golden light.

One fancy transformation later and Adora had been completely transformed. The light faded and Ben looked with wide eyes at what stood before him now. Adora had completely transformed she now had longer flowing golden glowing hair, a thin golden grown with two wings on the side with a red jewel in the centre, solid gold arm cuffs, wearing a white dress with golden seams and on her chest was a six pointed star at the centre was a blue runestone. Wearing a white ruffled skirt under the golden belt and a pair of skin tight shorts and had gold and white boots and from her golden shoulder pads flowed a crimson red cape.

She was now She-Ra the Princess of Power.

"Whoa." Ben gasped. Rook just looked with his jaw dropped in amazement.

End of Flashback:

"Adora, Glimmer, Ben and Rook are my best friends." Bow explained to the viewers.

"Aw thanks man." Ben complimented.

"Yeah we do everything together." Bow continued. "KICKING HORDE BUTT!" He said getting right into the camera.

Flashback:

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.

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.

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.

End of flashback:

"Yeah kicking bad guy butt is good and all but it ain't all about fighting." Ben explained.

"Yeah so is saving people." She-Ra agreed.

"Indeed for the duty of the Rebellion is to defend the innocent and help where we can." Rook also said.

Flashback: Chapter 2:

A small child was following a small butterfly in the forest. The problem is the child was wandering into the battle site. As the butterfly flew further away the child was suddenly startled by an explosion and she saw a Horde bot that was heading towards her. Bow was still firing arrows at the Hordesman when all of a sudden he heard a child's scream he looked to see a child at the mercy of a Hordebot.

"No!" Bow gasped however before he could act someone was already on it.

Before the Hordebot fired Rook leaped in and grabbed the child in his arms rolling away from Ravonagander moved to hide the child behind a boulder.

Chapter:5:

Suddenly the sound of something revving up not too far away from Ben, She-Ra, Glimmer and Entrapta. They turned round and saw a rather large looking robot with cleaning brushes on the front and bottom, it looked like a robot street sweeper. It turned its head and saw the group.

"Leaving now!" Ben exclaimed through his teeth as he ran away from the killer sweeper bot with Glimmer and She-Ra close behind.

Entrapta just breathed with amazement but didn't run. "Come on Rapunzel!" Ben said as he pulled her away by the hair.

End of Flashback:

"Everyone does their part in this fight, but me, Bow, Adora, Rook and Glimmer we're always on the front lines leading against the Horde." Ben said to the camera as Bow, Rook and She-Ra stood behind them.

"And our team even have our own nickname." Bow added as the camera static just as Bow, held She-Ra, Ben and Rook close in a group hug. "The Best Friend Squad!"

"Yeah I'm still debating that." She-Ra said.

"I think it sounds cool." Ben said.

The camera statics again and it shows Bow and Rook. "Now I know what your all thinking, I'm not She-Ra I don't have powers or any alien watches how can I help?" Bow then asked the camera. "Well we've been there before. Right Rook?" Bow asked.

"That is true. You may not think you can aid the Rebellion because you have no special powers. However where Ben and I come from many people do incredible feats every day without powers." Rook explained. "You maybe scared but in the end it is simply as I believe Ben calls it a leap of faith."

Flashback: Chapter 5:

"Look, they're princesses, they have powers. I make baked goods." The Baker said showing a tiny loaf of bread to show her point.

"You may not have powers, but what does that matter." Rook said. "Look at me I have no powers yet I am willing to stand up and fight for what I believe in no matter the risks."

"Yeah that never stopped me either, and it doesn't have to stop you." Bow agreed.

"But you're a master archer and he's a skilled fighter with a blaster, we're just ordinary people."The Baker reminded.

"I'm a master archer who's out of arrows, and his weapon is running out of power." Bow said.

"Listen to me, to have courage to fight is not just about having powers, or wanting any glory, you fight because it's the right thing to do." Rook said encouragingly. "Everyday where I am from I see people do heroic deeds with or without powers, and so can you you, if you have the courage to do so." Rook continued. "People with power always underestimate those who have none and in the end they pay for it, this is your home and now we must take it back!"

Bow was all but amazed by the Revonagander's speech clearly he had experience with this before not just fighting alongside Ben but with his own as well. It was almost as if the speech was under a spot light in the corridor surrounded by anime style bubbles.

"He's right, You each have a skill that only you can do, even if it doesn't come from some magical jewel." Bow agreed in encouragement. "You say you're just ordinary people, we say you're warriors of the Rebellion!"

The kitchen staff looked at each other and realised the two strangers were right. A wave of courage swept over them.

"TO THE REBELLION!" The Baker cheered.

End of Flashback:

"For example while the Princesses have powers from their Runestones, and Ben has the power of the Omnitrix Bow and myself have our own weapons." Rook explained as he pulled out his Proto Tool. "Such as my Proto-Tool, a multi purpose weapon."

Flashbacks: Chapter 2:

Rook drew his Proto tool and charged forwards the droid fired laser blasts at the young plumber. however he leaped and dodged the blasts quickly forming his Proto Tool into a Photo bow and fired energy arrows at the bot straight in the eye shorting it out.

A hordes man then tried to attack him from behind with his stun stick, but Rook reacted by blocking the shock with his Photo tool shield pushing the soldier back before delivering a drop kick to the ground.

Bow just looked with shrunken pupils and in complete shock, how the heck did he manage to fight off a Hordebot and a soldier that quickly. He was so mesmerised he didn't notice a Hordebot about to blast him from behind.

"BOW DROP!" Rook exclaimed as he turned his Proto Tool into a rocket launcher and fired it Bow dropped to the ground fast and the missile hit the Hordebot causing it to explode and crumble to the ground.

Chapter 13:

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.

End Flashbacks:

"Yeah Rook is awesome with his Photo Tool." Bow agreed. "But I'm just as awesome with my trick arrows!" He said showing off his namesake and trick arrows.

"Trick arrows, thats saved our butts more times than I can count." Ben added.

Flashbacks:

The scene flashes back to the occasions when Bow saved the day with his trick arrows. Be it the battle of the Sea Gate, fighting the corrupted robots in Dryl, and even the introduction of his favourite arrow. "SONIC ARROW!"

Flashback ends:

"I still can't believe you made a loud arrow." She-Ra snickered still not getting over that.

"Hey said loud arrow is what saved us when you were under the weather, and I had watch problems." Ben pointed out.

Flashbacks:Chapter 5:

"Hey she's coming around." Ben said. "Adora?"

She looked up and from her perspective her vision was blurry and she was seeing doubles of Ben and Glimmer.

"Glimmer, Ben there's two of you." She said in a weird voice. "That's nice."

"How are you feeling?" Glimmer whispered as Adora looked a little drowsy.

"Just peachy!" She said with a goofy looking smile. "Why are we whispering?" She then whispered.

"Sound activates the robots." Glimmer whispered.

"WHAT ROBOTS?" Adora asked loudly and Ben quickly covered her mouth.

"SHHH!" Ben hissed.

"The ones that are attacking us" Glimmer said.

"Oh those robots." Adora then whispered she then looked to Ben.

"Oh hey Ben wow your hairs so funny!" Adora drunkly said then blew a raspberry.

Ben couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "Okay I have to admit thats pretty funny." Then looked at Glimmer glaring.

"What I'm a joker under pressure." Ben shrugged.

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap now." she dozed off with a smile on her face.

"No no no no, stay awake," Glimmer said shaking her. "we have to go to Entrapta's lab and destroy this disc thing and then you'll be all better again."

"Better? I'm fine. I'm She-Ra." Adora drunkly laughed. "Hi, Glimmer."

Flashback ends:

"You just had to show that didn't you." She-Ra mumbled in embarrassment.

"Sorry I couldn't resist." Ben chuckled.

"Yeah and like Ben said my arrows came in handy, thanks to Rooks help and combining his Proto-tech with my trick arrows we've created a whole new arsenal." Bow explained. "For example my new goo arrow." He pulled out an arrow and twirled it round. "Yeah, does a lot of cool stuff, but mainly…"

"Bow be careful its…" But Rooks warning came too late as suddenly goop erupted from the arrow and splattered all over Bow.

"HAHAHAH!" Ben and She-Ra laughed.

"Pressure sensitive." Rook finished.

"Okay, well. Hope you're inspired." Bow said putting his hand on his head only to get it stuck too. "Join the Rebellion, and I'm going to edit this last part out."

"Sorry man I'm making sure this goes in the highlight reel." Ben chuckled.

"Yeah and I'm so showing this to Glimmer." She-Ra agreed.

Bows eyes widened knowing Glimmer would never let him live this down. So he reached for the Camera to try and get it back. "What? No way. Gimme that!"

Next Video: Meet Ben and Rook:

Bow who by now was cleaned up from the goop arrow experience was setting up his tracker pad camera for the next recruitment vid. The static faded and showed Ben standing with Rook in his room.

"Okay a…nd, action!" Bow signalled. "Hi recruits today I'd like to introduce some very special people to the rebellion. Meet Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko from the Planet Earth." Bow introduced the two.

"Hi people of Etheria, Ben Tennyson here AKA Ben 10! I'm a hero of planet Earth, defender of the secrets of the Omnitrix" Ben announced loving the camera as he showed off the Omnitrix. "This is my partner and trusted best friend Rook Blonko, we're members of the Plumbers."

"Yes greetings new Recruits. The Plumbers are an intergalactic peace keeping force dedicated to bringing peace throughout the galaxy." Rook then said. "Myself and Ben were brought to this planet upon being sent by Magister Tennyson."

"My Grandpa Max." Ben interjected.

"Yes, to investigate strange anomalies in space time in a sector of the known universe." Rook finished. "Until a wormhole of unknown origin brought us here."

Flashback: Chapter 1:

"W, wait a moment Ben I have got a fix on the anomalies." Rook said locking in on the signature.

"But Rook theres nothing out there, just the expanse of…" Ben was interrupted when he saw something happen before him.

The nebular in front of them began twisting and turning as if it was turning into something.

"…scratch that theres something happening." Ben breathed in surprise as his partner turned to see what was going on.

The space in front of them began turning into some kind of spiral and it had a dark hole deep in the middle of it and it seemed to be surging with energy.

"The sensors are picking up that it is a…" Rook looked at the controls and saw the sensors were going crazy and looking at the readings Rook instantly knew what this was.

"It is a wormhole!" Rook exclaimed and suddenly the Prototruck began to move towards it.

"Rook whats happening?!" Ben exclaimed.

"We are caught in its gravity well!" Rook exclaimed.

"Get us out of here NOW!" Ben exclaimed.

Rook turned the wheel of the truck to turn the truck round and pushed the thrusters to full blasted into life as it tried to pull away from the gravity well, however they weren't getting away they were just going further in.

"We are being pulled in!" Rook exclaimed.

"Pull out!" Ben exclaimed.

"I am trying!" his partner replied.

All of a sudden the rear thrusters on the wings and the behind overloaded and blew out. The truck was flung into the wormhole with the two Plumbers screaming and growling in an effort to handle the G-force they were being exposed to as they were spiralling out of control. They fell into the wormhole which sealed behind them.

The Proto-truck then emerged in a black void, it was rendered powerless, and inside Ben and Rook were knocked out. Ben slowly regained consciousness and looked to see his partner knocked out.

"Rook, Rook you alright?" Ben said nudging his partners shoulder and Rook slowly began to wake up.

"I, I am alright partner." Rook said to which Ben smiled in relief.

"What just hit us?" Ben asked and Rook looked over the trucks console and tried to bring the power back online.

"Nothing, that wormhole must have knocked out the power, we need to restore it and…"

"Uh Rook." Ben called as he turned his partners head around to face the window of the truck and the Ravonagander couldn't believe what he was seeing.

In front of them was a planet, a planet that looked almost like Earth, but it was surrounded by 12 moons all in different colours.

"Where did that Planet come from?" Rook asked.

"I don't know but I defiantly don't remember it being there before." Ben said rather surprised. However they had bigger concerns, like how close they were getting to it.

"Uh why's it getting closer?" Ben asked.

"Because we are caught in its gravity, we are going down!" Rook said and the Prototruck began free-falling towards the planet with great speed.

Rook struggled to hold the course of the truck. "The landing jets are offline I cannot level out!" Rook exclaimed.

"Okay thats it open the rear doors!" Ben said as he uncoupled his seatbelt and headed for the rear of the ship.

"What are you doing?!" Rook exclaimed.

"Giving you some landing jets!" Ben replied

The rear doors of the ship opened and Ben reached for the Omnitrix and dialled in an alien.

"Come on give me something good!" Ben hoped. and slammed down on the faceplate as he jumped from the ship he transformed his body became encased in red coloured rocks which then exploded to reveal a being made of fire with the Omnitrix logo in the middle of his chest. This was an old school favourite Heatblast.

"Heatblast?" He said. "This'll work!" Heatblast threw his hands down and let loose a fire blast that propelled him underneath the ship.

He let loose duel torrents of flame to try and level out the Prototruck. Heatblast growled with effort. It was working the Prototruck began levelling out and Rook was able to gain control of the descent as the flames from reentry died down.

Heatblast exerted the last of his strength levelling out the craft and eventually he lost his grip and fell towards the tree canopy Rook saw this from the cockpit.

"BEN!" Rook exclaimed as he saw his partner fall into the canopy.

Heatblast crashed through the canopy and then hit the ground knocking him unconscious. He blacked out just as he heard the sound of the Prototruck crashing down.

End of flashback:

"Yeah not the best crash landing I've ever had." Ben admitted. "But soon after that we met, Adora, AKA SHE-RA! With Bow and Glimmer and together we fought off the Horde!" Ben announced.

Flashback: Chapter 2:

The scene flashes back to the fight between Diamondhead, and Catra, how She-Ra and her friends saw Ben use the Omnitrix to transform into numerous alien forms to fight the feline Force Captain. From Diamondhead, Blitzwolfer and Swampfire.

End of Flashback:

"After that battle we joined the rebellion and vowed to free it from the diabolical clutches of the Horde, but one kingdom cannot fight this battle alone. Which is why we need you." Rook said like he was doing a campaign video.

Static then changes the scene to Ben. "Now heres a little about me, I have this cool device called the Omnitrix which is coded with the DNA of a million aliens, in the galaxy I'm from." Ben explained. "And I can transform into them giving me all sorts of cool powers!"

Static changes to Bow."Okay now rewind time for new recruits, Ben wasn't always the shapeshifting fighter he is now. When he was ten on something called summer vacation he found an alien device called the Omnitrix which crashed on earth and bonded itself to him giving him all his amazing powers." Bow explained.

"As you'll see in the Plumbers archival footage that I found in Rooks truck."

However Rook came on camera and was not happy with that statement. "Bow! That footage is classified!"

"Yeah dude its not a good idea showing classified footage on a web cam trust me." Ben added much to Bow's disappointment.

"Aw come on guys it's for the new recruits." Bow insisted, then Ben stepped forwards.

"Which is why I brought this dramatised reenactment that I personally supervised." Ben pulled out a small disc from his pocket and inserted it into the camera.

The camera caused static and showed the video titled;

The origin of Ben 10!

With a picture of 10 year old Ben with the Omnitrix behind the titles.

(Music plays: Ben 10 theme song)

The video shows a part of the Whispering Woods and the small doll of Ben (10 year old self.) moving through the woods.

"Aw man, this is gonna be the worst summer ever, man how I wish I could be more than ordinary Ben Tennyson." Said the doll but it was actually Sea Hawk's voice.

Suddenly a large light soared across the sky as the doll looked at it. "Wow a shooting star!" Doll Ben said. "I wonder what it could be to the star!"

A loud crash sound effect compliments of Swift Winds voice made the rock hit the ground with card board cut out blasts. The doll approached the rock.

"What is this, is it a satellite?" Doll Ben (Sea Hawk) asked.

The glow died down and revealed a small cardboard Omnitrix which was a makeshift model made by Perfuma and the Plumerians.

"A watch fallen from the sky, what's this doing in outerspace?" Ben (Seahawk) The doll was pushed near the light when suddenly a bright light hit the wrist of the doll.

"AH! The watched has attached itself to me!" The doll cried. "Wait what's this." On a close up shot of the prop Omnitrix the dial shot up. "Hmm I wonder what this does."

The dial was pushed down by a finger and after a flash of green light a small war table battle figure of Heatblast stood in the place of the Ben doll.

"Whoa, I…I..I'm on fire awesome!" Heatblast (Frosta) exclaimed. "This is fate, and I vow here and now I will use this power for the good of all, and to kick bad guy butt!"

End reenactment:

Bow and Rook just looked with dumbfounded wide eyes while Ben smirked with his arms crossed. The two then looked at the Omnitrix Bearer with questionable looks.

"Really?" Rook questioned.

"What? Thats the way I remembered it." Ben shrugged. But the looks on Bow and Rooks faces told him otherwise. "Okay I'll admit maybe Sea Hawk exaggerated a bit."

"Okay now can I roll the clip?" Bow asked.

Rook sighed. "Very well as a Magister of the Plumbers I grant you authorisation to show the footage." And so Bow did.

Flashback to Chapter 11:

"This is gonna be the worst summer ever! I might as well have gone to summer school!" Young Ben complained.

Just then young Ben looked up to the sky and saw what looked like a shooting star. Soaring across the nights sky. He looked in amazement and admiration.

"Whoa! A shooting star!" He said amazed.

Suddenly an unknown force knock the star changing its course. It was now heading straight for young Ben who gasped as he ran away from the falling star as it crashed into the ground. The collision sent Ben flying across the air and hit the forest floor.

He went to look at the crater and saw it wasn't a star but something else. "Looks like a satellite or something?" He said.

The star stopped glowing with steam pouring off it. Young Ben kneeled down to get a closer look, suddenly the ground below him gave way causing him to slip into the crater.

Young Ben took a closer look and it wasn't a satellite, but a small spherical pod with strange black symbols. The pod suddenly opened, and inside it shone a green light. The light soon revealed to young Ben a watch looking device in grey and black with white pipes coming from the control dial. Residing on it was a familiar looking hour glass symbol.

"A watch?" Young Ben said surprised. "Whats a watch doing in outer space?"

His curiosity got the better of him so he reached his left hand out to grab the mysterious watch. Suddenly the watch opens up and latches onto the boys wrist.

Young Ben was completely startled and panicked shaking his wrist up and down. "AH GET OFF ME GET OFF GET OFF!" He tried to pull it off to no success.

He climbed out of the crater and ran away. "Grandpa!"

Later he was in another part of the forest trying to pry the watch off with a stick. But that all but failed. He then tried to twist the dial which suddenly popped up.

He was startled and the hourglass turned into a diamond shape revealing the silhouette of someone on fire.

"Cool!" Young Ben said amazed. Without any hesitation he used his finger to push down the dial and was suddenly engulfed in a bright green light.

Red coloured rocks started crawling up Bens arm as he screamed in fright. Suddenly he was on fire, he had just turned into Heatblast.

Heatblast screamed in shock as he saw what he'd become. "AHHHH I'M ON FIRE I'M ON FIRE AHHHH!"

End Flashback:

"Okay maybe not one of my finest moments." Ben said with his hand over his face in embarrassment.

"Ohhohoh man! Adora was right you really did freak out!" Bow laughed. Before the static moved over to Rook again.

"You may believe you do not have anything to offer the Rebellion due to your lack of powers." Rook explained. "Well you do, it takes more than magical powers or aliens to fight, you also must rely on skill." Rook explained.

"Right, but being a fighter or a hero isn't just about the fame or the glory, it's about doing what's a hero is about defending those who can't defend themselves." Ben explained. "Sometimes Adora thinks its her duty alone to stop the Horde and has a great burden to bear, but that doesn't mean we have to choose to face this alone."

Flashback: Chapter 17:

"You insist Catra knows everything about you and how you fight, but does she know what those around you now can do?" Rook also agreed.

"Right, everyone here has a specialty they bring to the table." Ben said as he gestured to everyone at the planning table. "Glimmer, she's the very spark of the rebellion the sparkling light that keeps us going!"

"Aw thanks Ben!" Glimmer said rather touched.

"Bow, he's not just a sharp shooter he's also a talented tech master." Ben then said. "Sure everything Entrapta has built for the Horde is made to destroy us. But he builds things to protect the rebellion and those around us. Not to mention keeps a cool head."

"Well try to anyway." Bow admitted.

"Mermista, she's the princess of the sea she can wash away the Horde and still look good doing it." Ben gestured to Mermista.

"Naturally." Mermista smirked.

"Then theres Frosta she's a total badass of an ice princess, and though she's small she can still deal a whole lot of damage." Ben complimented.

"You bet I can!" Frosta agreed.

"Oh oh me do me next!" Perfuma practically bouncing her hand up in the air waiting to hear what the Omnitrix bearer had to say about her.

"Oh and who can forget about Perfuma, she's the rock of the group, keeping us together, with peace and harmony. But when the stakes are high she brings her A-Game when it comes to it plant golems and all." Ben complimented.

"This is very positive for my harmony and the rest of the groups too! Thank you Ben." Perfuma complimented with a smile.

Ben then turned to his partner. "And of course theres Rook, the master strategist sure we may disagree on look before we leap but when it comes to it we work together and see it through. His courage and determination to have everyones back is one to be admired and makes him a hero. A hero I'm honoured to have as a partner."

"Well said partner." Rook nodded.

"Oh and though they're not here theres our dynamic duo Spinerella and Netossa the Rebellions dream team they watch our backs and know where to line'em up and knock'em down!" Ben then said complimenting the two princesses.

"The point is, your not alone in this Adora, I told you before the Beacon I'd share this burden with you. I know everyone else will too. We have your back no matter what." Ben said with a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Adora had to admit a small reassured smile from that little speech, and he wasn't alone. For everyone around her was with her in this together.

"He's right. You've got this Adora." Bow agreed.

"I cast friendship and support on my next turn." Perfuma said smiling.

"We are all in this together for individually we have power but together we will triumph over whatever the Horde concocts next." Rook said with support. "We are all with you Adora."

End Flashback:

"Indeed, for once I was a simple farmer on my home planet of Revonah but I decided to set out to the stars and join the Plumbers." Rook explained. "Though my father was against it, and wanted me to be home for the harvest season. Many people are going to be scared to face the Horde but we must remember fear is an illusion that can be overcome."

Flashback: Chapter 16:

"Ahhh! Run the other way!" Glimmer exclaimed and they turned back only to see more ghosts blocking their were all around them as they grouped up.

"She-Ra, Ben do something!" Swift Wind panicked.

"Like what?! blast at them again?!" Chromastone exclaimed.

"Yeah I can handle the Horde." She-Ra agreed. "I can't handle this! This is like what . . ."

"ENOUGH OF SHADOW WEAVERS GHOST STORIES ALREADY!" Chromastone yelled.

"Both of you Stop telling ghost stories!" Glimmer finally lost it. "I've been terrified since we got here! Catra was right! I'm terrible at this!

"And I can't replace Entrapta! I can't even make my tracker pad work!" Bow admitted.

Both Rook and Chromastone could see this whole thing was affecting the group more than they realised. "Okay guys enough of this pity party neither of you is bad at anything!" Chromastone finally said.

"Glimmer don't listen to what Catra says you are a good leader but sometimes you need to learn from mistakes and failure because its how we handle it that matters, and yes Entrapta joined the Horde and maybe we had some part in that but its her own curiosity that beat her, trust me I've seen it happen before."He said to her remembering Azmuths former assistant Albedo when he tried to prove himself better by making a fake Omnitrix only to become trapped by his own pride.

"And Bow, do not let Entrapta's genius limit you, you must have faith in your own abilities, who was it who figured out how to disarm her robots back at the Crypto Castle and who was it who engineers the means to fight these war machines!" Rook spoke to Bow. "You have the knowledge and the potential do not let Entrapta define your own way."

Bow and Glimmer listened intently to what they both said to them. "Adora!" Chromastone then spoke to her. "Don't let yourself get the better of you, and don't let what you heard in your childhood define you cause the only thing that we're scared of is our own imagination, we need to prepare for the unexpected and how we meet it."

She-Ra could see that the Crystalsapien had a point, maybe she was still letting all of this get to her, and what she heard in her childhood influence her own imagination.

End flashback:

"I get that you maybe afraid of what the Horde are capable of, well so were the Princesses once but She-Ra showed them they had a choice to be brave and I showed them they can stand up and fight for what they believe in." Ben said.

"So do you want to fight for the freedom of your people and Etheria, then Join the Rebellion and do your part in the fight to save Etheria from the evil forces of Hordak." Rook then added. "THE REBELLION NEEDS YOU!" He pointed at the camera.

"Okay thanks guys Join the Rebellion and it'll be HERO TIME!" Bow then said.

"Hey thats my line!" Ben exclaimed.

Sometime much later Rook, Bow, Adora (now She-Ra), Ben and Glimmer were in the latters room to shoot their next recruitment video.

Bow once again positioned his Tracker pad camera focusing it on Glimmer. "Okay…Action."

"People of Etheria! I am Princess Glimmer of Bright Moon. Commander in the Great Rebellion, and best friend of Ben 10 hero of Earth and of course friends with the one and only legendary warrior She-Ra!" Glimmer cheered.

The scene then flashes to She-Ra fighting the many evil forces of the Horde from the Battle of Bright Moon to even battling the Corrodium infected Horde troops in the mines.

"She-Ra and Ben 10!" Glimmer announced, however she saw that they weren't standing next to her so she quickly teleported over and soon they were both standing next to her.

Glimmer then elbowed the both of them to get them to say their lines. "Guys thats your cue."

"Oh right, uh…Join the Rebellion." She-Ra then said raising her sword. "Oh no wait I'm supposed to say that at the end." She realised.

"Don't worry I got this." Ben then said activating the Omnitrix and dialled in a certain alien. "ITS HERO TIME!" He slammed down the dial and one awesome transformation later he was now….Cannonbolt!

"Huh?!" Cannonbolt said when suddenly he looked at himself, while Glimmer wasn't happy.

"Ben I though we agreed you'd use Feedback for this one! Not the rolling wonder!" Glimmer said.

"Hey not my fault the Omnitrix thinks differently." Cannonbolt said in defense.

Flashbacks:Chapter 3:

"Oh this is going to be harrowing alright." Ben called as the crew looked to him activating his Omnitrix and selecting the alien for the task.

"Cause this sea monsters gonna get a harrowing tussle with a friend I like to call Humungousaur!" Ben slammed down on the dial.

However instead of getting the alien he dialled in instead he transformed into a jellyfish like being with white stripes on his body which resembled lightning strikes and a main body with three skirt like parts for his head, chest and abdomen and six long had large looking green eyes barely open. The Omnitrix symbol was located on his mouth.

"AmpFibian?" He said looking at himself seeing he got the wrong alien again, "Why am I not surprised."

Chapter 5:

"Princess!" She-Ra exclaimed coming to her senses.

"We're gonna need some muscle to deal with this bot!" Ben said as he dialled in an alien on the Omnitrix. "Four Arms of muscle!"

He slammed down the dial and in a void of green and white molecules he transformed. His skin turned black and green glowing lines raced up his arm and onto his face before he was fully transformed. He was now a rather muscular looking life form with a black exterior with green circuit like lines going across his body with a green chest and black circuit lines. The Omnitrix symbol was located on his eye.

Entrapta was completely in awe and bewilderment by this development. She gasped in excitement practically with sparkles in her as Ben looked at himself in his new form he was irritated.

"Gah or a very irritated Upgrade." Upgrade said which was Bens voice only more computer like.

"Okay seriously! Why do you even bother calling them out before you transform!?" Glimmer annoyingly groaned.

"Honestly I've asked myself that question for years." Upgrade admitted.

Chapter 11:

Ben acted quickly and activated the Omnitrix and dialled in an alien using the green selection disc. "Come on Humungousaur!" He slammed down the dial.

However it wasn't Humungousaur he'd turned into but rather a large white furred rounded alien with what looked like yellow armoured shell on his back, shoulders, legs and arms. With four claws on his rounded hands and a black line runs down from his head and his lower body. He has small green eyes and a large black lipped mouth. The Omnitrix symbol resided on his chest.

Catra and She-Ra just looked completely dumbfounded by the appearance of this alien. "Oh great an over grown marshmallow how does that help!" Catra exclaimed.

End flashbacks

"Yeah you never can." Glimmer grumbled.

"Hey come on I can work with this." Cannonbolt said. "Now lets bounce!" Suddenly the Aburian Pellarota lost his balance on his stubby legs. "WHOA WHOA OOOOO!"

Suddenly he rolled into his ball form and bounced around the room, while Bow, She-Ra and Rook ducked out of the way of the rolling ball. "OH OH NO LOOK OUUUUUT!" Cannonbolt cried as Bow dropped his tracker pad on the bed above just as Rook tackled him out of the way to avoid the out of control Cannonbolt.

"I've got him!" She-Ra exclaimed as she quickly stood in front of the rolling alien and pushed back trying to slow him down with her bare hands.

The camera soon beeped and the scene switched back to Glimmer. "But we cannot win back Etheria alone. Together we stand a chance, together we can…"

"Glimmer." Glimmer turned and saw her mother at her bedroom door interrupting the recording.

"MOM!" Glimmer cried.

"Hi your majesty." Bow waved from behind the camera.

"Greetings your highness." Rook greeted bowing in respect to the Bright Moon royal.

Just then She-Ra and Cannonbolt entered the frame with the latter lay on top of her after the exhaustion of stopping his rolling rampage.

"Heh…J..join the Rebellion." She-Ra said just as the Omnitrix beeped timing out and transformed Cannonbolt back to Ben.

Ben quickly got up but all that rolling around made him dizzy. "Uhhhhhhh hey your majesty." Ben said rather dizzy as he fell to the ground.

"Is he okay?" Angella asked.

"He will be fine." Rook said.

"Uh hi your uh…majesty." She-Ra greeted as she transforms back to Adora. "Oh, I'm bad at talking to queens."

That was an understatement as the camera static then played a clip of how she bungled trying to make idol conversation with Angella upon joining the Rebellion before she met Ben or Rook.

"Are you filming something? How cute." Angella cooed having noticed Bow with his Tracker pad.

"Ugh, it's not cute." Glimmer groaned as she grabbed the camera but the angle was only showing hers and Angella's legs and feet. "It's for the Rebellion. We're trying to recruit people to defeat the Horde."

The camera statics as Rook re-angles the camera to show the mother and daughters faces. "Wonderful! We need brave, young and inspiring voices like yours if we hope to end this war once and for all."

Then the Queen noticed the look of her daughters hair and feels it over. "And, that's how you want your hair to look for this video?"

"What what's wrong with my hair?" Glimmer asked feeling the sides of her hair.

"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. Perhaps you could comb…" Angella kindly suggested.

"Could we please not argue about this, like we always do?" Glimmer argued with her mother.

"Oh that is an exagruation." Angella simply scoffed, while Ben, Bow, Rook and Adora just looked at each other with knowing looks.

Flashback: Before Ben and Rook's arrival.

Angela and Glimmer are in the throne room arguing about certain events in a village Glimmer was stationed in but attacked by the Horde.

"Thats enough! You're…GROUNDED!" Angella exclaimed with her wings out.

"WHA!" Glimmer scoffed. "MOM!"

"You heard me!" Angella argued back.

"You never let me do anything!" Glimmer exclaimed in a fit.

"We are not having this discussion tonight!" Angella said to her. "You are embarrassing me in front of my royal court!"

Said Royal Court was just looking at each other rather awkwardly knowing this wasn't the first time the Queen and Princess have had these…discussions.

Later Glimmer was in her room writing in her diary. "Dear Mom, I feel like you…." Glimmer sighed. "Don't respect me."

Hours later after finding Adora and the sword:

Glimmer and Angella were under the glow of the Moonstone after the princess returned completely depleted of power. She had just told her mom about an amazing discovery she found, which was Adora and the sword but kept it quiet for obvious reasons.

"Glimmer?" Angella questioned but before she could ask further.

"Ah just wait here I'll be right back!" Glimmer said happily teleporting away.

"We are not done talking about this Glimmer!" Angella called. "GLIMMER!" She called out with wings out.

End Flashback:

"Eh in my experience arguments are standard parent and child proceedure." Ben shrugged. "You should see the arguments I had with my folks when they found out about the Omnitrix." Ben said.

Flashback: Back in the Alien Force days:

Ben recently snuck out of the house to go help Kevin and Gwen who were at the mercy of DNAliens. He'd told his parents he was going to help his cousin with a school report. But in actual fact he'd turned into Echo Echo to help them. That is until he was caught by his parents.

"Do you really think we're that gullible we were teenagers once too you know?" Sandra said to the small alien.

"I really don't know what to say." Carl said in agreement.

"Well I do, Benjamin Tennyson you are grounded!" Sandra said to him harshly.

"WHAT! You. Can't. Ground me. I'm a super powered alien!" Echo Echo argued back.

"Your a super powered alien, who's about five minutes from forcing me to reconsider a life long disbelief in corporal punishment." Sandra told him right in his face.

"Up the stairs young man!" Carl pointed to the door and so a grumbling Echo Echo headed back inside obeying his parents.

Flash Back ends:

"Yikes." Adora said.

"You actually let them ground you like that?" Glimmer nearly giggled at Bens misfortune. "You said you went toe to toe with creeps and villains without blinking."

"Hey can you blame me?!" Ben argued back. "Besides Vilgax not even Hordak ever gave me the mom look."

"I wouldn't be so dismissive of their reaction." Angella said. "Its only natural to be over protective, but sometimes you can be at fault too when things are hard." She continued. "Like Glimmer she can be a tad temperamental in the morning. Always growling and groaning."

Glimmer just growled at that statement about her. "I DO NOT GROWL AND GROAN!" She exclaimed before looking to her friends. "Do I?" Bow, Adora, Ben and Rook looked at each other sharing the same awkward look as they recalled the times Glimmer did growl and grown.

"Well uh, actually you do tend to growl and groan a lot Glimmer, approximately twenty times." Rook counted.

Glimmer just growled and teleported away leaving Angella with a slight chuckle.

"Was it something I said?" Rook asked.

"O…kay and cut!" Bow then said just as Adora and Ben came into the shot with Rook.

"Join the Rebellion!" They all said.

"Ah I did it!" Adora cheered.

"Hey you mean we did it." Ben smirked.

Next video: Meet Adora:

The day went on and the Best Friend Squad continued doing videos for their recruitment drive. Soon they were outside and setting up for the next one. Rook suggested the idea of Adora being the focus of this next video as she was the most important princess in the Rebellion.

Bow set up the camera which so far was focused on Adora's face. "Adora. We're recording." Bow said to her just as he zoomed out the camera's focus bringing him and Ben into the shot. "Hey Guys. I'm excited to introduce you to someone very important to The Rebellion and to us."

"Yeah you know her you love her and her amazing sword, so give it up for…. Adora." Ben then introduced. As the camera focussed on Adora holding her sword.

"Adora thats your cue." Ben then whispered. Which snapped her to attention, the camera then zoomed in on her.

"Oh uh right huh, I'm also sometimes a 8ft tall warrior named She-Ra." She then said.

"Yeah cool name right, at first I thought it was the name of an eighties rock band but after a while it grows on you." Ben said.

"Yeah, and I have this cool sword to help me be She-Ra, its a good thing I'm skilled with a weapon." Adora said as she swung her sword around rather skilfully. "Okay, Uh, what else can I say about myself. Oh, um, I fight for The Rebellion but I was actually raised by The Horde."

The scene flashbacks to Adora's time as a cadet in the Horde, from fighting robots on the training deck to duelling with Catra as a young girl. And also spin kicking the odd punching bag with pictures of the princesses looking evil.

"Yeah don't really like to think about that part." Adora admitted.

"Okay look I know the Horde have done some bad things, but unlike the rest of them Adora having seen the Horde's true colours didn't like what they were doing." Ben explained.

"Yeah though some people weren't comfortable with me being here but I've proven myself worthy of the Rebellion's trust." Adora explained. "All my life Shadow Weaver told me the Rebellion was evil when in reality they were really the good guys in this, and after seeing what they did to Thaymor I just couldn't take what they were doing to Etheria."

"Yeah and thats all history and now your with us." Bow agreed.

"Indeed, and Adora may not be the only one in the Horde who maybe capable of change." Rook then voiced. "For you see there is one other in the Horde who Ben seems to respect."

Flashback: Chapter 19:

Scorpia sighed as the whole room went quiet. After a minute of awkward silence Scorpia sighed. "Hey uh…Tennyson, you mind if I ask you something?"

"Well its not like I'm going anywhere okay shoot?" Ben replied.

"Okay well uh…I've been wondering. Why did you stop me from falling back at the pass?" Scorpia asked. "Its just your the enemy so why would you save me?"

Ben just sighed at that question. "Well come on, we maybe on opposite sides, but I wasn't not just gonna let you fall to your death." Ben answered. "Its not how I do things."

"Oh wow well thanks." Scorpia said honestly.

"Hey no problem, and by the way thanks for the save before." Ben said.

"Oh your welcome." Scorpia answered. In truth Ben had a few things on his mind as well.

"Hey Scorpia while we're in here do you mind if I ask you something?" Ben then asked.

Scorpia was a little surprised by that, but since they we're stuck in the storage room with no way out. "Uh okay?"

"So your a princess right?" Ben asked to which Scorpia nodded. "So how come your not with the other princesses? I mean I saw you at the Princess Prom before the whole party crashing thing."

"Oh well I guess its because I don't really fit in with the other princesses I'm just different from them." Scorpia explained in all honesty. "And also my family gave sanctuary to Hordak and the Horde before they turned it into the Fright Zone, so yeah its why I don't get invited to many Princess things." She explained.

"Oh yeah I get that but whats wrong with being different?" Ben asked which got Scorpia's attention. "I mean I've met the other princesses and they're all different but thats what makes them unique. Listen I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, on the planet I come from most view princesses as beautiful girls stuck in towers as damsels in distress."

"Really?" Scorpia said rather surprised.

"Yeah but I've met princesses before me and Rook came to Etheria and they are very different then what you seen in Disney movies and old kids story books." Ben explained. "Some are generals leading armies and some are tribe leaders wanting coexistence and will do anything to protect her people." Scorpia just couldn't believe it as Ben continued. "So whats wrong with different, that just makes you unique."

"Wow I never really thought about it like that." Scorpia wondered.

"So on a new subject how come you don't have powers like the other princesses, I mean the super strength and pincer claws are cool but didn't Shadow Weaver have that Black Garnet Rune stone so isn't it yours?" Ben asked.

"Yeah well I don't really have a connection to my runestone, I've tried but just no spark." Scorpia explained. "So yeah no powers."

"You really have no super powers?" Drunk Adora asked as she flopped onto the floor.

"Okay how do you put up with this?!" Scorpia asked.

"Well I did say she'd be a few shakes short of a full smoothy." Ben pointed out. "Plus Catra plans to control She-Ra like this, she doesn't really think things through." He joked.

"Hey she's just under a lot of pressure since getting promoted to Hordaks second in command!" Scorpia exclaimed.

That last part took Ben by surprise. "Hold on second in command? I thought that was Shadow Weavers job?"

"Well not anymore Hordak locked her up and promoted Catra, and she's been so busy and expects me to make time for her! I just wanted to spend time with her outside of office hours!" Scorpia vented.

Ben was surprised, learning that Shadow Weaver was demoted and Catra taking her place guess she learned something from their time in the Beacon after all. But he still couldn't understand why Scorpia defends Catra despite her treatment of her.

"Uh Scorpia don't take this the wrong way but how do you deal with Catra? She treats you like dirt and you still stick around?" Ben asked.

Scorpia sighed before she explained herself. "Its just, Catra was such good friends with Adora until she defected and I've been trying to be a better friend so she's not alone any more." She explained. "She doesn't show it but she's taking it hard, and I'm trying my best but its like she doesn't know I'm there."

Ben had to admit he was starting to admire Scorpia's good heart despite being on the side of the Horde. If anything she's the only pure heart out of them.

"Well she's no gem herself Scorpia, all she does is try to prove she's more than Shadow Weaver thought she was, but its taking her to a dark place." Ben explained. "I've actually seen her memories of her and Adora's past, so I know what I'm talking about. But I do admire your persistence if anything your the only decent one in the Hordes band of cutthroats."

Scorpia couldn't help but smile warmly at what he was saying to her. "Oh uh thanks Tennyson." She said.

"No problem, oh and if you want you can call me Ben." Ben said to her.

"Oh okay Ben." Scorpia smiled.

Flashback ends:

Just then Glimmer teleported in next to Adora. "Heh remember when you first came to us." She laughed. While Adora simply cringed.

Flashback: Before Ben and Rooks arrival to Etheria:

Adora was shown to her room by Glimmer soon after joining the Rebellion. "Tada!" She beamed showing her the room.

Adora was beyond amazed and a little bewildered by its size. "Its pretty standard." Glimmer teleported around the room showing its different features. "You've got your vanity, bathroom, crystals, bell pull, tea mug, more crystals, bed/desk." She said gesturing to all the rooms features. "Oh and of course the waterfall." She gestured to the waterfall in the room which to many people would see as decoration.

"Is the waterfall for showering?" Adora asked not knowing. All Glimmer could do was burst out laughing.

"Ahahaha good one Adora, waterfalls for showering." Glimmer laughed.

Flashback ends:

"Yeah I still don't get the waterfalls." Adora said bashfully.

"Well Adora's assumptions are well founded, it is known that many cultures use the waterfalls for showering purposes." Rook said. "Its even a known element for some ancient cultures on Earth."

"Thats true, Kai did once read that ancient warriors known as the Amazons used to use the waterfalls for bathing." Ben then said which gave the girls a wired look. So Ben felt the need to change the subject. "But seriously on a new note it's the beds you want to get control of."

Flashback: Chapter 3:

In his new found sleeping quarters Ben was fast asleep snoring his hair was a mess and he was only wearing his shirt and pants as he slept. He found it difficult to sleep on a very very soft bed but eventually he got used to it. Well almost he turned over and then sunk into the bed.

"Awww not again!" He groaned as he was stuck in the bed like he was caught between a side desk and a bed. He was this close to going full on Rath on this bed. And just when Ben thought his morning couldn't get any worse.

"Good morning Ben!" Glimmer said as she teleported in the room. Ben screamed and he tumbled off the bed and onto the solid ground.

"OW." He said. The Omnitrix bearer got up with his arms on the bed as he looked at Glimmer with bags under his eyes.

Flashback ends:

"Yeah not the easiest thing with all the uh, fluffy pillows." Adora agreed.

"It did indeed take time to get us aclimated to this planet, but we did learn more of its inhabitants and princesses." Rook then said.

"Oh Yeah thats true,I do know who all the Princesses are now cause I-I studied them." Adora then said to the camera.

"Thats an understatment." Ben grumbled.

Flashback: Chapter 7:

The Bright Moon Princess selected a card and read it out. "Princess Frosta."

"Ruler of The Kingdom of Snows, has the biggest kingdom outside of Bright Moon, neutral in the fight against the Horde." Adora explained.

"Allies with the Star Sisters who are friends with Mermista, but not Sweet Bee who is dating Peekablue" Rook continued.

Adora and everyone else looked at Rook in surprise how could he possibly know that so quickly?

"I too did some research when we first recruited Mermista, in case we reached out to other princesses in Etheria." Rook explained.

"Anyway…" Adora continued as she looked at her diagram again. "Up means friends, down means frenemies. And I made an obstacle course!" She lifted the curtain to show them an obstacle course made from furniture in her room as well as a few fashion dummies.

Flashback ends:

"I still don't get why you needed an obstacle course to prepare for the prom?" Ben still questioned.

"Hey it never hurts to be prepared." Adora shrugged before the static changed to a worms eye view of her. "But it's not all parties in The Rebellion. Although, there are a lot of those."

"Yeah A LOT of parties." Ben agreed.

Flashback: Before Ben and Rook's arrival:

The scene flashes back to when Adora first met Glimmer and Bow, and they showed her around Thaymor where celebrations were taking place. Adora ate nearly all the food, even participated in party games like a classic piñata, but with her skill and training she basically made rubble out of the piñata much to Gimmer and Bow's surprise.

Flashback: Chapter 18:

"Okay guys enough of this mushy stuff." Mermista then said getting everyones attention. "Its time to PAR….T….YY!" She called and everyone cheered in agreement.

So throughout the night everyone partied into the night with party games like pin the tail on Swifty, with Spinnerella trying to pin a tail on a picture of Swift Wind, which Swift Wind himself wasn't sure how to feel about this. They also danced on the floor and even Queen Angella got in on the dancing, which surprised Glimmer greatly since it was a long time since she'd seen her mother in party mode. When there wasn't a war going on.

Sea Hawk even challenged Rook to an armwrestling match and Rook won instantly, but just to boost his own confidence he dared Ben to an armwrestling match as one of his aliens. Unfortunately for him, Ben chose Rath. While he was intimidated Sea Hawk tried for the arm wrestling match. He used all his strength to beat him to no avail.

"Okay Ben just beat him already." Netossa said.

"Okay." Rath smirked and threw Sea Hawks fist down to the ground much to Mermista's amusement.

Netossa was fierce when it came to the party games especially pin the tail on Swift Wind. But the most she was firece at was one Ben introduced everyone to. Twister. On the twister mat was Ben, Adora, Bow, Spinnerella and Netossa. They had their hands and feet on different spots and were close to being tangled up.

Glimmer span the wheel. "Okay Bow, Netossa right foot yellow." She said.

So Netossa tried to move her left foot over the yellow spot but just as she touched her foot down. Everyone else tumbled to the ground, while Netossa jumped up and down in triumph.

"AW YEAH NETOSSA FOR THE WIN BABY!" Netossa cheered.

On the floor everyone lay on the ground, thankfully for Ben he wasn't on the bottom of the pile this time. "Is she always this competitive?" Ben asked Spinnerella.

"More often than you think." Spiny replied.

Flashback ends:

Just then Glimmer teleported in next to Adora in a battle pose. "Uh, there is plenty of fighting too." She pointed out.

Adora then changed to She-Ra with her sword in a fighting pose. "Good thing She-Ra has powers. Which I have totally mastered."

Bow, Rook and Bens expressions said otherwise.

Flashbacks:

The scene flashes back to when Bow, Glimmer and She-Ra were on a mission to Plumeria. She-Ra was trying to focus her powers so she could try and heal the Rose Blossom runestone. However all she did was blast a tree, and when she tried again she just turned a chameleon into a unicorn/chameleon with the same colour scheme as Swift Wind.

Flashback ends:

"Mastered huh?" Ben said with a questionable look.

"Ok maybe not totally mastered, but I'm learning new things all the time." She-Ra admitted.

"Yeah one thing is sometimes She-Ra's powers make a great combo with some of my aliens." Ben agreed.

Flashbacks: Chapter 6:

The sorceress yelled out in anger as she flung her shadow tendrils at the Pyronite who dodged to the left to avoid them and then tossed more blasts of fire at the sorceress. Adora saw this as an opening and ran to pick up the sword from the ground and sliced it free from the tendrils holding it.

Heatblast kept swinging fire blast after fire blast at the shadow projection. Shadow Weaver had just about enough of this pest and managed to grab the alien in her shadow tendrils and swatted him into the wall.

"You have meddled in my affairs long enough boy!" Shadow Weaver warned. "Why should you suffer, just leave now and I shall spare your life."

Heatblast just spat at the witch. "Lady if I had a nickel for every time I heard that death threat!"

The Pyronite fired another blast of flames straight at the sorceress however this seemed to have no effect on her.

"Pathetic!" She spat.

"Heh I'm just warming up heh get it Heatblast. Warm?!" He tried to crack a joke.

Shadow Weaver just glared her eyes and then proceeded to smash Heatblast into the walls again and again sending him rolling to the ground. He groaned in pain as he tried to get up.

"Time to pay for your defiance!" Shadow Weavers shadow grew over him ready to finish him off until. Adora stepped in front of him and readied her sword. Shadow Weaver attacked but Adora didn't move.

"No!" She exclaimed, then all of a sudden out of nowhere the sword glowed then change shape, It was now in the shape of a gold winged shield with the runestone in the centre.

The runestone glowed and shone a blast of rainbow coloured light straight at the shadow and the sorceress cried out in pain. Heatblast had just regained consciousness and he saw what happened, he was amazed.

"Huh?" Adora gasped seeing the newly formed shield.

"Whoa didn't know your sword could do that?" Heatblast said in amazement.

"Neither did I."Adora breathed.

Static then changes the scene to Chromastone and Adora facing Shadow Weaver atop the lenses in Mystacor.

"Adora, enough of this. Come home." Shadow Weaver said more softly.

Adora however saw right through her and knew in her mind what she decided to do as the light shone in the air from the stars. She held up her shield and the light reflected off the runestone and began radiating rainbow coloured energy.

"I'm not going back. You have no power over me anymore." Adora declared as she reflected the beam over to Chromastone who then used his crystal hands to deflect it down to the well below.

"She's got a home now Shadow Freak and it ain't with you now how about you let the light shine in!" Chromastone declared.

The light hit the well of the Lumarium and illuminated all over the room the light was so bright Shadow Weavers shadows all but disappeared into ash!

Chapter: 4:

She-Ra and Frankenstrike battling the mutated Grizzlor.

Grizzlor slashed at the two with his bladed claws, She-Ra slid under the mutant which distracted him from the electro charged upper cut from Frankenstrike. The beast struggled backwards then tried to hit Frankenstrike who dodged the attacks leaving She-Ra to hit him from behind with a strike from her sword.

Grizzlor just growled at the two who then looked at each other knowing what to do. With that Frankenstrike charged his gauntlets and punched the ground letting loose a current of electricity towards the mutated Grizzlor shocking him allowing She-Ra to deliver a powerful punch to the face knocking him down to the ground. This rendered him unconscious.

The two heroes looked at their defeated opponents and gave each other fits bumps with their gauntlet and sword.

Chapter: 13:

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.

End of Flashbacks:

"Now having powers is great and all but as Ben has taught me let's just say sometimes we need to think when we use them." She-Ra explained. "And you could say me and Glimmer learned that the hard way during our little uh supersized problem in Dryl." She then cringed.

Flashback Chapter 5:

However they were cut short by the sound of She-Ra smashing the bots head with her sword. Which then suddenly grew the red roots on its runestone turning it red.

"Uh oh." Upgrade said as he leaped up to the bots head. The mechamorph then hurried to stop She-Ra from doing any more damage.

"Whoa whoa Adora cool it!" Upgrade exclaimed but She-Ra kept smashing the bot with her sword like she couldn't hear him.

"ADORA STOP!" Upgrade finally shouted as he grabbed the sword in his hand, then She-Ra turned to face him and her eyes were glowing red.

"Adora?" He breathed in shock.

Then out of nowhere She-Ra yelled and tossed Upgrade into the bots head where she then grabbed him by the Omnitrix symbol.

Glimmer gasped in horror as she teleported over to She-Ra to stop her from hurting her friend.

"Adora whats gotten into you!" Upgrade struggle.

The red roots then spread from her arm and onto the Omnitrix which then suddenly glowed red instead of green and started to spark with energy.

Glimmer acted quickly to remove the sword from She-Ra pulling with all her might.

"Turn it off turn it off!" She struggled as she pulled the sword free from She-Ra's hand and tossed it away for it to land in the sweeper brush.She-Ra's eyes then glowed red but they neglected to see the Omnitrix overloading.

"Ben!" Glimmer said trying to get him out of the Princess of Powers grasp.

"Glimmer get back before…"

It was too late the Omnitrix soon exploded in a green energy wave which Glimmer was caught in and everyone was blinded by a glowing green flash.

The light faded to reveal Ben back in human form and Adora lying on the ground next to him. He groaned as he got up.

"Ah man, last time I got a head ache like this there had better be a bad smoothy mix involved." He groaned. Then he noticed his wrist and the Omnitrix which now had red roots on it as well.

"Hey whats happened to the Omnitrix?" He exclaimed in shock then looks to see Adora unconscious. Concerned for her he picked her up in his arms and tried to wake her up.

"Adora! Adora are you okay say something?" He said.

Suddenly he heard another groan but it wasn't from Adora. He looked in the smoke of the robot and saw what looked like Glimmer in the smoke.

"Glimmer?" Ben asked.

"Uh Ben what happened I feel, strange." Said a voice but it didn't sound like the Bright Moon Princess.

In fact as the smoke cleared Bens pupils shrunk in shock as standing before him was a female version of Diamond Head, her uniform was purple with dark purple shorts and lilac and blue boots with moon symbols on them, she had bright pink eyes and more surprisingly the Omnitrix symbol was still green on the centre of her chest.

She looked herself over and saw she was completely made of pinkish turquoise green crystals.

"AHHH WHAT WHATS HAPPENED TO ME!" She exclaimed in fright.

"Oh boy." Ben grimaced.

Flash forwards the scene now shows how Ben while trying to fix the infected Omnitrix changes Glimmer into his different aliens, Glim-Arms,Glimmer Hawk, and even Walkaglimmer.

She looked at herself and saw she was a small pink fish. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!"

Flashback ends:

"Yeah and I so don't want to talk about when I was that Upchuck thing!" Glimmer agreed. "I've just started to eat good food again."

"Okay okay besides that." She-Ra then said as she stood with her friends in an arms crossed team pose. " I know when things get rough my friends have my back and when we work together there's nothing we can't handle."

"Right because we're a team!" Ben agreed.

Flashback:Chapter 14:

"Showed you, bot-face!" Frosta exclaimed. Glimmer teleported her staff into her hand twirled it and struck the robot in the head. Destroying it.

"Hey Frosta!" Called a voice and she turned to the armoured Arburian Pelarota. "I need a ramp, a big one!"

Frosta smirked knowing what he wanted to do."Coming right up!"She said and used her powers to create an ice ramp.

Omni Kix smirked behind his armour plate and revved up his ball form and shot straight up the ramp and into the air. The robots looked up.

"CANNONBOLT CANNONBALL!" He yelled.

He went crashing into the ground and the impact sent out a massive shockwave into the ground knocking all the bots off balance. This also shorted out the camera on one of the robots.

We can't let that one self-destruct!" Bow exclaimed.

"We need to end this now before it explodes!" Rook exclaimed.

"Then we better make this quick! I've got at least five seconds left!" Omni Kix Cannonbolt said remembering he times out faster in Omni Kix.

"Everyone together!" She-Ra exclaimed to the other princesses as Bow drew an arrow.

Glimmer threw a blast towards the robot blasting it back followed by a ramming slam from the armoured Arburian Pelarota, the shockwave of the impact knocked it into a rock nearby.

Just then the Omnitrix timed out reverting Cannonbolt back to Ben. "Thats it I'm out of juice!" He called.

Luckily She-Ra was there to pick up the slack as she landed a devastating punch into the robot sending it flying into the tower.

Bow just whined a gasp in horror given the damage that will have inflicted. "Uh whoopsies." She-Ra said nervously rubbing her arm.

"Mermista! Frosta we need to restrain it fast! Times running out!" Rook exclaimed to the two princesses.

Mermista walked forwards and readied her powers standing next to Frosta. "You ready, Ice Princess?" She asked.

"Yeah!" Frosta replied with a giggle. The mermaid princess threw a torrent of water up the tower catching the bot. Then it was Frosta's turn using her powers to freeze the water and the robot in place.

"Perfuma your up next!" Ben called and the flower princess waisted no time with a wave of her hand cast some vines to further restrain the robot.

One vine with Bow and Rook on board took them up to the robot. They mounted onto the robot and Rook quickly used his Proto tool to blast off the metal covering whilst bow pried it off with his hand.

"Hurry Bow we have approximately ten seconds!"Rook warned.

Bow needed to act fast and after a quick inspection of the inner workings he managed to pull out the circuit board in the robot.

"Haha!" He proclaimed as the robots detonator was deactivated and so was the robot. Their mission was complete.

Rook breathed a sigh of relief. "The robot has been disarmed!" he called.

Flashback: Chapter 13:

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.

Flashback ends:

The group were now enveloped in a group hug with Adora in the centre. "Adora, Ben." Glimmer said happily.

"Thats so sweet." Bow agreed.

"Yeah but it's true, we're a team and we have something the Horde never have, they'll never beat us as a team no matter what they do." Ben said.

"Indeed, for we have a real reason to fight, and will fight for justice and defend the innocent wherever in the universe we are." Rook said in agreement.

Adora then stepped forwards and showed off her sword. "Oh also when things get really rough, I can transform my sword." She transformed her sword into a staff and swung it around with the rest of the group ducking to avoid the strike. However, it didn't stop the staff from knocking the tracker pad off its stand.

"MY TRACKER PAD!" Bow exclaimed.

"Oh sorry."Adora apologised.

"Thats why we think to consider our actions, but eh lucky shot." Ben said before he went up to the pad preparing to use the Omnitrix. "But maybe I can fix it, with JurryRig, oh no wait Upgrade."

"No, no, no, no!" Bow pleaded.

Later in Plumeria:

After Bow fixed his tracker pad, he, Ben, Adora and Frosta who by the way wanted to hang out with the crew headed to Plumeria. Since Glimmer had princess duties to attend to and Rook was leading a scout mission to Thaymor in the event of a Horde attack. Perfuma was more than happy to help with the recruitment vids.

Soon Bow had his tracker pad set up and the camera focused on the flower princess who sat in a meditative pose on a green mat.

"And. Action." Bow signalled and Perfuma looked at the camera.

"Welcome to Mediation with Perfuma. I'm your Host Perfuma." She introduced. "Let's start…"

"Uh meditation isn't really the point of these videos." Bow said angling the camera to show him and Ben.

"Yeah but you never know it could make a great web series." Ben shrugged deciding to roll with it.

The static changed to Perfuma again as she looked in the camera. "We'll begin with a deep cleansing breath." She said as she took a deep breath, but before she could relax.

"Seriously, this is supposed to be used for new recruits." Bow then interrupted much to Perfuma's irk.

"But it is." Perfuma insisted. "The Plumerians, like many in Etheria, want little more than to live a quiet life. And make green flower hats!" A flower hat then appeared on Perfuma's head.

Flashback: Chapter 3:

"Uh pleasure to meet you." Ben said offering a hand shake only for a bouquet of flowers to appear in his hand. And a flower hat appears on Rooks head.

"Greetings new friends, may the universe guide you on your new found path." Perfuma greeted however she couldn't help but eye the Revonnahgander in an awe looking way.

Flashback Ends:

"Okay I agree the hats are great!" Bow then agreed.

"Yeah they're not so bad." Ben agreed.

"Right! And we're really good at arts and crafts too." Perfuma said happily.

"Yeah so Rook tells me." Ben said.

Flashback: Plumeria, Before Ben and Rook's arrival:

In Plumeria many had gathered round to honour She-Ra, while Bow and Glimmer stood to the side. This was their first mission to the flower kingdom to deliver supplies. Which eventually turned into a revolution against The Hordes poisoning machine to the trees.

She-Ra was being handed many different gifts from the Plumerians. One child handed her a small pot with dangling balls on it.

"Oh thank you for the uh…" She-Ra thanked despite not knowing what it is.

"Wind-chime." Glimmer whispered to her.

"Wind-chime." She-Ra said with a grateful smile.

End Flashback:

"So I'm here to save the gifts of peace and floral headwear with The Rebellion." Perfuma explained.

"Well I guess it's a good way to show how to stay calm and think positive when times get tough for us." Ben began to wonder.

"Yes thats exactly it." Perfuma smiled.

All of a sudden she heard a scream and a sound of laughter it was Adora who was running away to avoid a hit from a snowball which knocked Perfuma's hat off.

"Take that imaginary Horde Soldier!" Frosta cried.

It was then that Adora noticed the tracker pad camera. "Oh are you guys filming again."

"Yeah we kinda are." Bow said.

"Would you like to join me? I'm sharing my gift of meditation." Perfuma offered more calmly.

"Mmmm no thanks." Frosta declined. "My favourite way to relax, is TO SMASH THINGS!"

The screen then turned to static as it revealed Frosta smashing things, from ice ornaments in her castle, Horde robots and many other things. The scene soon switched to her kicking and smashing ice blocks in Plumeria. She was very relaxed after that.

"Yeah well whenever I'm not saving the universe from galactic threats, and have a day off, my best way to relax is to kick back and play Sumo Slammers." Ben said to the group. "But then again sometimes a galactic crisis can happen at the worst of times.

Flashback: Earth some years ago:

Ben was in the lounge and he looked very determined. "I must not be disturbed under any circumstances, the fate of the entire universe is at stake."

He then kicks back on the couch and activates the games console which was a Sumo Slammers game. There was no galactic crisis just an afternoon of gaming.

"The Sumo Slammers universe that is." He said as he leaned back and started playing. "Ah…my first afternoon off in weeks nothing can possibly ruin it."

But then right on cue something happened. For appearing out of nowhere in a bright blue light was Bens alternate dimension counter part Ben 23 from Earth 23. Azmuth was with him and he was covered in slime. To Ben this told him something was up.

"Ah man!" Ben groaned.

Without even saying another word Azmuth 23 just teleported away leaving his Ben behind.

"What was that all about?" Ben asked his counterpart.

"My Azmuth was inside Dr Vegito's carrot monster, growing a new good guy brain stem with a reverse synthesiser." Ben 23 explained.

"Not seeing any problems so far?" Ben questioned.

"That could take forever! So I turned into Vomit Man and ate him." Ben 23 explained as a flashback showed him as VomitMan (Upchuck) eating the giant carrot monster.

"With Azmuth inside!" Ben exclaimed.

"What I spat him out?" Ben 23 said in defense. "Anyway the little guy is going back to his lab for a much needed vaca 'ahem" from me." He coughed between sentences. "And said you could mentor me for a while."

Ben wasn't too sure about this, he was expecting an afternoon off but who was he to say no to Azmuth, of any dimension. "Uh….. Wanna play video games?"

Flashback ends:

"Like I said nearly every time I want to relax BAM! some intergalactic crisis appears." Ben said.

"Wow that game looked awesome!" Frosta said excitedly.

"Yeah in fact I'll teach you how to play it later, since my folks had the foresight to pack it in the stuff sent here from Earth." Ben said to the small Ice Princess.

"Sweet!" She exclaimed leaping up and hugging Ben making him fall to his back.

"Yeah, sorry Perfuma. The whole relaxing thing isn't really for me either." Adora admitted to the flower princess, and she was right.

Flashback: Chapter 6:

"Okay." Adora just took a deep breath as she lay her own blanket down next to Glimmer whilst Ben placed down his blanket next to her.

For the first few minutes she lay still and just looked up at the clouds above her and listens to the calming waves of the cloud sea, which already were helping Ben relax and Rook who was already fast asleep. However for the former Horde soldier it wasn't as easy, she even started making random noises beeping and squeaking. Ben could tell she couldn't relax and to be honest he couldn't blame her.

She stared at the clouds again, and she tried to relax but nothing worked.

"Okay." She said but all she ended up doing was grunt, groan make stupid faces and mumble more noises.

Eventually Glimmer could see that this relaxing waves technique was not working on Adora, even Rook saw it.

"This isn't working for you, is it?" Glimmer finally conceded.

"No. Can I move now?" Adora finally admitted in a groan.

Flashback Ends:

"Besides it's not like meditation really Works, right?" Adora questioned while Perfuma sat back in her meditative position.

"Oh I don't know, I think Gwen would be quick to correct you on that Adora, it's helped her with her magic." Ben added.

"Yes Ben does have a point, meditation does work." Perfuma agreed. "Take me for example. Because of meditation, I'm extremely calm and at peace all day long."

Adora and Ben cringed at that last statement, knowing fully well that Perfuma wasn't always completely calm.

Flashback: Chapter 8:

"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.

"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.

Perfuma let loose her vines from her hands pushing Lonnie off the platform and she dropped the Proto Tool which Adora caught.

The scene then switches to the Horde Outpost outside Plumeria before Ben and Rook arrived on Etheria. Perfuma leading the charge with her vines blasted through the wall and entrapped any Horde Soldiers that fell into her path. It was like she was yelling like a maniac as she passed Glimmer.

"I've never been so alive!" She cried.

Flashback Ends:

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say. Very calm." Adora assured the Flower Princess.

"Yeah." Ben assured but then had a mischievous smirk on his face. "Course you being calm is always important especially when Rook is around." He said and then Frosta looked at Perfuma rather teasingly as she couldn't hide her blush.

"Ahem' I..I don't know what your talking about." Perfuma stuttered.

"Roll the clip." Ben said to the camera.

Flashbacks: Chapter 7:

"The She-Ra, Glimmer, Ben and oh Rook." Perfuma greeted with a small blush when she saw Rook in his tuxedo. "It's great to see you."

"Yes uh it is good to see you as well princess." Rook greeted politely.

"Oh Rook please call me Perfuma." She insisted.

"O..of course Pri… uh Perfuma." Rook stammered with a little blush whilst Ben just shook his head in a knowing way.

"Oh my apologies I did not…" Rook looked to see it was Perfuma he'd just bumped into.

"Hey Rook." Perfuma greeted.

"Oh hello Perfuma." Rook greeted with a small blush.

"Have you seen Bow anywhere?" Perfuma asked.

"No last I heard he went to find his cummerbund." Rook answered.

"Oh I see, so are, uh are you enjoying the ball." Perfuma then asked moving her hair back.

"Well under the circumstances yes." Rook answered. "In a way it does remind me a little of the celebrations we have on my home Revonnah."

"What is your home like?" Perfuma asked.

"We are a farming commune, during the harvest season we harvest our native fruit Amber Ogia and would later celebrate our harvest." Rook described but started to feel a little saddened. "Its times like this I would accompany Rayona to the festival."

"She sounds like someone special." Perfuma said and she could see that Rook missed his home having heard his and Bens story from Glimmer and Bow.

"But why are you telling me this?" She asked and Rook took a moment before he looked to her.

"Because in someway, you remind me of her." He said which did result in a warm smile and a little blush from Perfuma.

"Purfuma, you should probably know that…"

Before Rook could finish that sentence the lights suddenly went dark and the light shone on Frosta. This had gotten Ben and Adoras attention as they were looking for Catra.

"It is my duty as hostess to now announce, it is time for the first dance of the Ball." Frosta announced.

The crowd cheered as they hurried to the dance floor pushing Ben and Adora into the crowd and the lights shone down on the ballroom floor

.

Before Rook could respond Perfuma offers her hand to him. "Seeing as how Bow isn't here, Rook would you like to share this first dance?"

Rook was more than surprised by this revelation. He looked and saw that Ben was already partnered with Glimmer and Adora with Catra despite her glaring. So who was he to deny this.

"I would be honoured." Rook answered as he took the flower princess's hand and they started to share a dance. They danced in a circle as did everyone else.

Rook couldn't help but admire the flower princess's beauty in the light and Perfuma just looked dreamy into the young plumbers eyes.

Chapter 14:

"Wow, flower princesses can't aim." Mermista smirked cracking a joke.

"I… I.. I'm working on it!" Perfuma protested but suddenly from behind her came two more Horde bots from the frozen roots above.

They were ready to fire, when suddenly leaping over them was Rook, who was now clad in white and black Proto Tech armour with a red spot plumbers badge on his chest and belt. On his shoulders he sported a familiar hourglass symbol and curved black lines under it. The Revonnahgander drew his Proto-Tool and split it into duel Proto-blasters and fired on the bots.

The impact forced the robots back before Rook landed on the ground and turned his blasters into swords. Throwing one into the bot on the right directly in its centre eye. Before the second robot could fire Rook rushed in sliced the first robot in half with his sword then used his other one to slice the robot across the eye. Followed by an incoming arrow from Bow which destroyed it.

"Thanks Bow." Rook thanked.

"Anytime man." Bow said.

"Whoa. He's good." Mermista said.

"He sure is." Perfuma said in a rather dreamy look.

Chapter 18:

"Oh its a surprise I'm doing for Rook, this is as much his party as it is Bens." Perfuma explained. "Hes done a lot too, so I'm doing my part to repay him. So I thought I'd do something that reminded him of his home planet. I found these seeds in some of the boxes that pod carried from his home."

"Wait you went into Rooks room?" Frosta picked up on that part which resulted in Perfuma blushing a bit.

"Ah yes well uh he keeps his room very straight. Anyway I found some of these seeds in one of the boxes, it reminded me of how he told me he was a farmer of this Amber Ogia on his homeworld so I thought he should have a taste of home." Perfuma explained.

"Wow thats…sweet." Frosta said. "Wait in a you like him like him sweet?" She teased.

Perfuma just blushed even more at that statement." N..no we're just good friends."

"Ri….ght." Frosta smirked as she went back to her ice sculptures.

End Flashback:

"S..so Rook and I are simply, friends GOOD friends!" Perfuma said as calm as she could.

"Are you sure?" Frosta asked teasingly.

"Yes." Perfuma said.

"Oh hey it's Rook." Ben pointed.

"AH WHERE!" She panicked a little only to recieve a laugh from Ben, Adora and Frosta.

"Thats not very funny." Perfuma said rather embarrassed.

"Sorry Perfuma I just couldn't resist it." Ben chuckled.

"Well no problem, seeing as how my meditations keep me so calm." Perfuma said but Frosta still maintained her mischievous smirk.

"Wait, is that a Horde Bot!?" She gasped. Perfuma looked in the direction she pointed and simply ran into battle yelling.

"AHHHHH FOR THE SHE-RA AND BEN OF TEN!" She cried much to the laughter and amusement of Ben and the two princesses.

Bow turned the camera around to see his face. "Uh okay then? Join The Rebellion and, Uh, Meditation, Over?" He said with a stretched smile.

Ben then came into the frame "Or as we like to say on Earth. Namaste" He bowed with his hands together.

Later: Salineas: Mermista's throne room:

Soon Bow, Adora, Rook and Ben were at Salineas in Mermista's throne room. After hearing of Bows plan to make recruitment videos she couldn't resist a chance in the spot light. So they were setting up for the shoot.

"Are we doing this today, or…?" Mermista asked becoming rather bored.

"Patience Mermista." Ben assured. "Bow we all set?"

"Yeah sorry." Bow said as Adora stood next to Mermista with a scroll in her hand. "We're ready." Bow then signalled.

"Okay Adora begin." Rook told her and so she started.

"Hi, potential recruits. This is Princess Mermista." Adora introduced but she sounded a little nervous. "She then pointed to mermista and the scroll bottom dropped to the floor unraveling. "Question 1: What inspired you to…?"

"Hold up." Ben said. "Adora no offence but can you try not to sound too robotic in this we need some real passion." He said sounding like a film director.

Mermista then pushed Adora's hand out of the way when she realised something. "Question 1? How many questions are there?" she asked.

The camera zoomed out to reveal the scroll was rather long, so long it looked like it was going out the throne room door. Rook looked at the scroll before turning to the princess.

"One thousand two hundred and forty seven, exactly." He answered to which Adora chuckled rather nervously.

"Seriously?!" Mermista groaned as she stood up and turned her attention to the camera men. "Okay, hand it over, boys; we're doing this my way." She smiled taking the Tracker Pad from Bow.

"Wait, what are you-?" Bow asked surprised.

"Hey!" Ben said in surprise as well.

Suddenly the camera static blacked out the screen and moments later Mermista was holding the camera in front of her. While Bow was all but pouting in the background.

"Listen up, recruits." She started. "I'll tell you all about the Rebellion's most important princess: me."

Bow simply scoffed at that sentence while Ben just rolled his eyes. Rook a little unsure by Mermistas self profiling as the important princess. Adora seems to be in agreement with her annoyed look as they all knew She-Ra was the important princess.

"Adora recruited me because of how cool I am." Mermista continued. While having flashbacks to the battle at the Sea Gate. "Yeah she can turn into a super tall warrior with a sword, which is actually pretty of course there's her side kick Ben who can transform into different monsters of all shapes and sizes which is his lame jokes aren't."

"I'm not a sidekick and my jokes are funny!" Ben called out.

"Yeah whatever." Mermista shrugged. "But everyone was like 'Please Mermista, we can't do this without you. You have great boots and your tail is so shiny'."

"I do not recall us saying that." Rook recalled.

"Yeah but I will admit Your tail is really cool." Adora admitted.

"I think you mean breathtaking, but thanks." Mermista corrected in a thanking way. "Basically I make every mission look good."

"Really." Ben said in a teasing way towards the Princess of the sea. "Every mission."

Mermista glared knowing he was talking about certain missions in particular that ended up her being covered in sewer water or being blasted clean by Water Hazzard.

"Yes. Ben. EVERY mission no matter what!" Mermista said a little bitter about the whole swimming through the Fright Zone sewers.

The Omnitrix bearer let out a small chuckle which Bow and Adora couldn't help but join. That is until Ben was blasted by a water wave. Mermista cleared her thoughts and turned back to the camera.

"Also, Adora and her alien sidekick kind of brought the Horde to my doorstep, REALLY appreciated that." Mermista pointed out.

"Not our fault a crazy witch was spying on us." Ben pointed out. "Which we didn't know about until Mystacor, check the script!"

"What script?" Mermista said confused. "Anyway but heroically I led the Mermista Friends Squad into battle, with my all powerful catchphrase. 'ITS HERO TIME!"

"HEY THATS MY CATCHPHRASE! I've got paten on that!" Ben yelled.

"Yeah and also its the Best friends Squad!" Bow agreed while Rook simply shook his head it was clear Mermista was making this about her.

"And thanks to my awe-inspiring abilities, we won!" Mermista continued ignoring the boys completly. "While She-Ra was busy, like, talking to her friend. And Ben or Rath was climbing a wall."

"It was more complicated than that!" Adora disagreed remembering her fight with Catra while trying to fix the Seagate. "I was fixing the Sea Gate while you guys kept the Horde at bay! But, yeah, we were talking for a while."

"That is until I jumped in as Rath to fight Catra!" Ben described remembering the fight with Catra as Rath where the Omnitrix had also taken a sample of her DNA. "Then I heroically doused her with catnip gas making her go crazy compliments of GutRot!"

"Yeah he basically made that cat girl jump into the sea." Mermista said trampling on his glory. Much to Bens annoyance.

Things from Mermista's perspective were about to get worse. "And then this one time, I took out a monster and saved everyone." She was recalling her own events of when Sea Hawk took everyone to face a monster as a means of showing off.

"HOLD ON YOU WEREN'T EVEN THERE!" Adora disagreed.

"Yeah Amphibian and She-Ra fought the monster that was before we met you!" Ben agreed rather indignantly.

"Yeah yeah whatever." Mermista waved off. "Anyways, now I fight for the Rebellion with the others." She said as she thought of the other Princesses.

"The flower one." She said referring to Perfuma. "The Small Cold Girl." Referring to Frosta.

"Hey her names Frosta." Ben pointed out.

"Yes and the other name is Perfuma." Rook said indignantly.

"Yeah anyway." Mermista continued. "The Glittery One that yells." She said obviously referring to Glimmer.

"Glimmer." Adora pointed out.

"Spinnerella and Netossa, who do.. uh something." Mermista then said.

"Nettossa tosses awesome nets and Spinny makes super cool tornadoes." Ben pointed out.

Flashback:Chapter 13:

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.

Flashback Ends:

"And thanks to She-Ra and Ben bringing us all together, we're now a super cool team, the Princess Alliance." Mermista said as she stood between, Ben and Adora with Rook and Bow standing dynamically beside them.

Flashback: Chapter: 8:

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 friends. "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!"

Later:

"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."

Flashback ends:

Mermista then stood by the group as she addressed the viewer. "So if you want to hang out with us and be cool, join the Rebellion."

"Whoa, that actually turned out great awesome performance Mermista." Bow complimented.

"Yeah not bad." Ben said.

"Plus that last line would make a pretty cool tagline." Adora agreed.

"Naturally." Mermista said brushing her hair back. "Now if you don't mind, I've actually got plans, so…"

Just then out of nowhere a certain Sea Captain entered the fray. "Plans with Sea Hawk."

The camera static then showed flashbacks to Sea Hawks adventures including the Battle of Bright Moon.

"Oh yeah him." Mermista said bored.

"ADVENTURE!" He proclaimed about to set fire to his ship with a lit torch only to be doused by a wave from Mermista.

Present day:

Mermista simply scoffed and hit Sea Hawk in the side with her hips pushing him back. Sea Hawk could only smile.

"Oh yeah she does like me." Sea Hawk said charmingly. "How could you not fall in love with this face." He smiled to the camera.

"Dude thats like the oldest play in the playbook." Ben chuckled in disbelief.

"Oh why thank you Ben." Sea Hawk seemed to take that as a compliment before leaning in close to the Omnitrix bearer. "I don't suppose you could let me borrow this playbook." He winked.

Ben just did a Mermista style groan as he slid his finger over his throat telling Bow to cut the footage. Which he did.

Next video: Rooks regiment:

Later at Bright Moon, in Rook's room the Revonahgander was setting up the tracker pad for a video he was doing. The camera focused on Rook who was in a white shirt and the lower part of his Proto Tech armour. The camera was recording.

"Magister Rook Blonko personal log, stardate 7194." He began. "At least I assume that is what it is given the lack of stars. But for now to the people of Etheria I am here to share how to be on alert and ready for any situation in this fight against the Horde."

The camera static showed Rook had dissasembled his Proto-Tool and was doing maintenance on its component parts. "The first is making sure your equipment is perfectly maintained and in peak condition. Because if your weapon was to malfunction during a battle it could lead to dangerous consequences." Rook explained as he opens the Plumbers badge on his weapon and pressed a small circuit checking the diagnostics.

"I keep my Proto-Tool maintained and combat ready for any eventuality but that does not mean I am open to buying time for my allies if negotiations go south."

Flashback: Chapter 15:

"I would not advise that!" Rook said getting their attention. "Unless you want to be blown to atoms!"

Catra and Scorpia just laughed at that statement. "What with that puny blaster, nice try."

"No." Rook said as he tapped on the tools Omnitrix symbol bringing up a holo screen. He then flicked a certain switch on the side of it. "But with the safety limiter disabled the core inside by Proto Tool will overload and if discharged will do a very good imitation of a fusion grenade , creating a blast crater half a mile wide."

Scorpia and Catra were a little spooked by that prospect as were Lonnie and Rogelio. Glimmer was more than surprised by what Rook was threatening to do.

"You wouldn't dare! You'd blow yourself up thats not very by the rules is it?" Catra said not buying it.

"You want to put that to the test or would you rather disappear in sparkling atoms." Rook said but Glimmer noticed a hinting tone in that last part she got the message.

Just before this escalated Glimmer teleported to Rook and then teleported him and her to Bow and Catra. Who was taken by surprise.

"Turns out I saved a little magic, just for you!" Glimmer said blowing a raspberry and they teleported away just as Scorpia attacked with her stinger but it struck Catra in the arm instead.

"NOOOOOOO!" Scorpia cried scaring the birds out of the trees.

Soon the trio reappeared on a cliff edge. Just as Glimmer collapsed from exhaustion into Bows arms.

"Good job Glimmer." Rook said.

"So you were gonna blow us all up!" Bow exclaimed.

"Of course not Bow." Rook chuckled shaking his head.

"B..but the… the limiter? The overload? and…" Before Bow could finish Rook brought up his weapons holo screen and flipped the switch again.

"That my friend was the silencer for the Proto Tool not the limiter." Rook said. "I was I believe the humans call it bluffing. I needed time for Glimmer to regain her strength so she could teleport us away."

Flashback ends:

"In my experiences with Ben, I have learned to think outside the box in combat." Rook explained. "But I have also learned to follow protocols in dire situations, namely interrogation."

Flashback: Chapter: 8:

"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!"

Flashback Ends:

The camera static then revealed Rook practising Revonnah Kai, his peoples fighting style. "Another aspect is honing your skills and combat capabilities, in order to defend yourself. While the princesses and Ben have their powers, myself Sea Hawk and Bow rely on our own natural skills and self defense." Rook explained performing a long roundhouse kick and then delivered a punch to a simulated hologram.

The static changed the scene to the young Plumber, reaching to the desk picking up a small micro capsule that was sent from Earth. He pressed the top of it and it opened to reveal its contents, several boxes marked, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. He picked up the box marked dinner as it was that time in the day.

"But most importantly you must make sure your body is in peak condition, so it's important to have a nutritional regiment." Rook explained as he then snapped the box bending it but it suddenly beeped and popped almost like a microwave meal. He tilted the box and out of it was a freshly baked meatball sub, with Amber Ogia berries and a nutrient drink. On a tray.

Rook picked up half the sub and started eating it. "Making sure you are well fed will keep you in peak condition." He said.

The static then changes to Rook doing some work on the Proto Truck in the cave that he converted to its garage. He was below it tweaking the mechanics.

"Given the Hordes armaments and vehicles it is important that we in the Rebellion maintain our own vehicles such as my Proto Truck." Rook explained as he came up from below the truck.

"Despite mine and Bens vehicle being the only one we have it is important to keep it maintain. Especially after its uh many incidents." Rook said reminiscing on the many crashes the Proto Truck had, from the mission back to Bright Moon with Catra as a prisoner or during the Battle of Bright Moon itself.

"Yes, but it is fortunate despite the circumstances it is easy to repair, and with Bows help and mechanical genius." Rook then said. "Because in the Rebellion, we work as a team, but there are times when the Horde force us to spread our resources, and allies too thin, but that is why we must also rely on the resources and allies at hand."

Flashback Chapter: 18:

"Uh Glimmer one problem." Bow voiced. "it looks like we're a bit short. Perfuma's in Plumeria on some kind of spiritual guidance with her people to better prepare them for the Horde."

"What about Frosta?" Adora asked.

"She's in her kingdom, said something about strengthening her borders with ice spikes in case the Horde pull a surprise attack." Bow explained.

"But we need numbers if we're going to stop that mine!" Glimmer groaned.

Ben took a minute to think and then he had an idea, as he eyed two certain princesses in the room. "Well what about Spinnerella and Netossa? Things have been quiet around here why don't we give them a chance to see some action?"

Spinnerella and Netossa looked at each other and the latter was excited. "I'm in!"

"You can count me in as well." Spinerella agreed. Not wanting to be so far apart from her beloved, as they stuck to each other like glue.

Glimmer could see the two were very eager, and she could see Bens point. They had yet to have a mission in the field, since the battle of Bright Moon so this could be their chance to gain valuable experience.

"Okay sounds good to me." Glimmer said. "We'll call Sea Hawk to give us a ride."

"I do not think approaching from the sea is wise, as we could be detected." Rook then voiced. "The stealthiest route is clearly by air."

"Okay we'll take the Proto Truck, but I'll still call Sea Hawk he'll want in on the action." Glimmer then agreed.

"And you don't want him to feel left out?" Adora wondered.

"Yeah that too." Glimmer said.

Flashback end:

"Ingenuity and belief in our allies is the key to our fight against the Horde and whatever they may…" Before Rook could finish that sentence.

"Uh what are you doing?" He looked and saw Ben with Swift Wind.

"Dude are you doing a solo recruiment vid?" Ben asked.

"I am Ben, I am showing recruits the importance of teamwork and having a nutrition regiment in the Rebellion." Rook explained.

"Dude you sound like your doing one of your reports?" Ben said with a raised eyebrow.

"You do mission logs?" Swift Wind asked teasingly.

"Yes standard protocol for Plumber officers to record logs while in the field or in a stranded scenario, which we are technically in." Rook explained.

"Oh yeah yeah, because. Procedure is what separates us from the wicked forces of chaos!" Ben said rather righteous tone while quoting a film he'd seen.

"You are quoting a film are you not?" Rook guessed with a raised eyebrow.

"Sorry man couldn't resist." Ben said.

"Speaking of which, Rook could I borrow the truck TV screen, I want to catch up on that show with the horse riding free."

Rook could see that Ben had also introduced She-Ra's steed to television as well. He looked at his partner with a raised eyebrow and a stern look.

"What he wanted to know more Earth culture." Ben shrugged innocently.

Rook chose to ignore it and looked to the camera. "Anyway new recruits I hope this has been informative, and remember do your part in the fight to free Etheria. Join the Rebellion!" He then said. "End log."

The camera static fades and Rook turns off the Tracker pad. He then heads out with Ben and Swift Wind to discuss the matter of following protocol. However little did they know that there was someone else in the garage. A certain Feline Force Captain emerged from her hiding place behind some storage crates and using her cat like stealth she quickly snatched up the tracker pad, and left Bright Moon before she was discovered.

The Fright Zone:

Catra had returned to the Fright Zone with the tracker pad in hand and placed it on the bench. "Man that was too easy, I'll bet we can get tons of Rebel secrets from that geeks tech pad." She chuckled as she headed out of the room. Just then Entrapta popped in from the upper vents, and noticed Bows tracker pad on the side. "Ah!" She said picking it up in her hair arms and headed to her workshop.

"Fright Zone Log Date, oh I guess I don't need to do that anymore. Now that I borrowed this tracker pad from Catra, I can use it to record my experiments." Entrapta said to the camera, before she walks away on her long hair and stands next to a big switch.

"You're about to witness my greatest experiment yet." Entrapta said rather excited. "I mean since the work I did with the First Ones Tech."

Flashback: Chapter 5:

The scene flashes back to when Entrapta former home Dryl and her machines had become infected with the corrupted First Ones data disk. When it turned her robots against her into lethal killing machines not to mention messed up She-Ra and the Omnitrix trapping Glimmer as Bens aliens all while they were being chased by the robots.

Flashback ends:

"Yes First Ones tech has made many great strides in the Horde and my own research." Entrapta said. "But my latest curiosity is in Bens watch device." She showed on a screen the notes she'd previously taken on the Omnitrix.

"Designation the Omnitrix, a device not made by the First Ones but by another alien race with technology beyond imagination! The more I see it in action the more I realise the depths of secrets it could contain!" She said even more excited, as she played recordings of all of Bens aliens that fought her robots, from Swampfire, to Upgrade, FourArms, Feedback and even Omni Kix Cannonbolt.

"But it seems much like She-Ra's sword it is venerable to First Ones tech, if only I had more time to study its effects on her and of course Bens aliens, as previous diagnosis shows it affects him differently pending what form he's in." Entrapta explained.

Flashback: Chapter 19:

The scene flashes back to when Catra used the corrupted First Ones disc on She-Ra's sword turning her into a rampaging uncontrollable monster. The scene shows her fight with Rath and how he kept pounding her face with his fist.

"Change back, Change back, Change back!" Rath exclaimed.

Of course the scene then showed how Rath became infected by the First Ones Virus as She-Ra touched the Omnitrix emblem corrupting and transforming him into a rage filled beast that nearly killed Catra.

Flashback ends:

While Entrapta, was working on her computer Scorpia had arrived after agreeing to be her lab assistant. "Assistant Scorpia reporting for duty."

"Perfect." Entrapta greeted happily. "I'm making massive upgrades to make The Fright Zone systems to make them more energy efficient. They use a LOT power here. Not sure on what?"

The scene flashes back to all the tech around the Fright Zone that demand a tremendous amount of power, be it Hordak's secret project, The lifts in the prisons that Entrapta once hacked in the Princess Alliance's first rescue mission which one one roller coaster of a ride going up and down. To the door mechanisms that Emily (the robot) helped open upon the rebels escape.

"But if this works, it'll change The Fright Zone forever!" Entrapta said cackling in her usual mad scientist way. She turned to Scorpia and gave her intsructions. "Get ready to pull that switch."

Scorpia followed those instructions, and was ready to pull the switch with her claw. Before she could pull it. "Quick Question: on a scale if 1 to ZAAAAAPPP. How high is your level of electrical conductivity?" Entrapta's question suddenly put a veil of caution over Scorpia as she backed away from the switch.

"Eh. You'll be fine. I'm an expert in humanoid physiology and behavior." Entrapta assured recalling her own experiences.

Flashback: Chapter 7:

"Hey Entrapta." Ben greeted.

"Are you here for the social experiment too?" She asked.

"Social experiment?" Adora asked confused.

"Different groups are forced to mingle. Hierarchies form and break. It's the perfect place to observe behaviour." Entrapta said as she looked at the crowds.

Ben and Rook just looked at each other she must think this is the equivalent of a safari in Africa.

"They're matching." Glimmer said in surprise. "That's out best friend thing."

"Feelings seem to be getting hurt." Entrapta observed quietly.

"Not gonna get into whatever is happening there." Mermista said simply Entrapta meanwhile was just walking around in circles recording her logs.

"People walking around in circles." Entrapta whispered.

"Or that." Mermista said a little wired out.

Present Day:

"Hey, um crazy question, but is this experiment gonna, say, blow up?" Scorpia chuckled nervously.

"Why would you ask that?" Entrapta asked.

"It's just that your last experiment got a little out of hand." Scorpia said still nervous recalling her last experiment with a certain Runestone in the Fright Zone. Specifically the lightning storm that spooked the Scorpi Force Captain.

"Don't worry." The tech princess assured her comrade. "I've made tons of progress in my research during my time as a Horde guest." She then remembered how she started out as a prisoner hacking the restraints as Catra interrogated her upon discovering her in the pipes of the Fright Zone.

"Uh prisoner guest." Entrapta then corrected. Scorpia took time to think and realised that while it does have a risk, she had been learning to take great strides to impress Catra.

"Ok sure, what the heck. I'm in!" Scorpia said instantly throwing the switch. Suddenly sparks flew the camera went into static and almost instantly the whole room went black. It was clear Entrapta's experiment didn't enhance the Fright Zones power but rather caused an all out black out.

All that shone in the dark was Entrapta's goggles, but then a familiar voice could be heard. "Entrapta! What did you do?!" Catra called knowing who was to blame for this.

"Uh we have to go, but next time it'll be a success I'm sure." Entrapta said in the dark. "Until then, this is Entrapta signing off."

The camera went static as it turned off. Just then the power came back on and revealed. Catra standing in the lab door way.

"Oh uh hey Catra." Scorpia said tip toeing away from the switch.

"When your done messing around with that thing! I've just thought of a better use for it, that'll bring those Princesses and Tennyson right to us." Catra said swiping the tracker pad from Entrapta. "They'll never see it coming." She smirked.

Bright Moon:

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY TRACKER PADS GONE!" Bow yelled nearly having a panic attack. In the room was Ben, Adora, Glimmer and Rook in the garage area with the Proto-Truck. It would seem they discovered the tracker pad was missing.

"Geeze Bow no need to have a heart attack." Ben tried to calm him down.

"As I told you Bow, when I came back it was gone, yet the rest of the equipment was untouched which means the tracker pad was of interest." Rook explained.

"But why would someone take Bows tracker pad?" Glimmer asked.

"Yeah it's not gonna be of much use. So what's the drama?" Mermista asked.

"The 'drama' Mermista is that in the duration of these recruitment videos it also stores classified information that in the wrong hands could prove disastrous." Rook explained.

"And I think I know who's wrong hands it's fallen into." Everyone looked to see Adora kneeling on the ground close to where the Tracker Pad was. Ben came over to see what she was looking at, and it was a pair of tracks but not just any tracks, they were left with bare feet.

"So who do we know who leaves foot prints like these?" Ben rhetorically asked already knowing the answer.

"Catra!" Adora glared answering that question.

"So she took Bows tracker pad thats horrible." Perfuma gasped.

"Well fortunately it is not all bad news." Rook said pulling out his Proto Tracker. "I actually anticipated this would happen so I had a tracking device implanted in Bows pad so we could track it."

"Wow thats smart." Netossa said.

Rook looked at his tracker showing the signal of the tracker pad. "The signal seems to be coming from the Whispering Woods." Rook realised.

"Okay that just screams trap." Ben realised.

"Maybe but we gotta get that pad back, we can't let the Horde get access to its information." Glimmer said.

"Then let's move out." Adora said drawing her sword. "FOR THE HONOUR OF GRAYSKULL!" One magical transformation later she became She-Ra.

The Whispering Woods:

Deep beneath the forest canopy, a small squad consisting of Lonnie, Kyle, Rogelio, Scorpia and a few Horde troops marched into the forest. Scorpia had the tracker pad in hand and was recording all that was happening.

"Okay okay it's working, and just in time too." Scorpia said as she filmed Catra and her team pushed their way through the leaves of the forest undergrowth. "Cause we're on a secret mission to ambush Ben and the princesses in the Whispering Woods!"

Catra then looks back to Scorpia quite annoyed. "The key to a secret ambush is keeping it secret." She said seething quietly. "Which we can't do, if you're yelling about it." She then realised something. "Also since when are you on first name basis with Tennyson?"

"Aw you don't like that Catra gee thats cold." Suddenly everyone heard a chilling voice in the air and emerging from below was Big Chill.

"So take a chill pill!" The necro fridgian unleashed from his mouth a blast of ice mist which froze nearly half the Horde soldiers into ice sculptures. Catra, Lonnie, Kyle, Rogelio and Scorpia just managed to avoid the ice blast along with several of the Horde troops.

However there was more to come, for leaping into the frame was She-Ra who stomped the ground below her feet knocking Catra and her team off balance and to the ground. Big Chill then flew over to She-Ra and stood beside her transforming back to Ben.

"What never heard of a sneak attack in the Horde?" Ben as Bow, Glimmer, Frosta, Rook, Perfuma, Spinerella, Netossa, and Mermista leaped down arriving on the scene as the united Princess Alliance.

"Hey Catra." She-Ra smirked. While all Catra could do was smirk in response as her and the team got up on their feet.

"Oh hey Adora. Awww and look. You brought Sparkles, Benny and the whole crew." Catra said teasingly.

"Catra, by order of the Great Rebellion and the Plumbers, we order you to surrender the stolen Bright Moon property." Rook demanded aiming his Proto Tool at the enemy.

"You sure you want to pick a fight with us, Catra?" She-Ra said gesturing to the numbers in her team. "I mean… losing must be getting embarrassing for you."

"Yeah considering you don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to beating us." Ben said in a teasing way.

Which was true as Catra didn't exactly have a good scoreboard against the rebellion, from fighting Rath at the Sea Gate only to get doused with Cat Nip gas by GutRot and jumps off a cliff into the sea. Then her being swept away by the princesses combined power when she lost the Battle of Bright Moon. Not to mention how she was easily subdued by the attraction of Rooks red light from his Proto Tool.

"Man you've got a higher losing rate than many of my old enemies. Even more than Dr Animo and thats saying something." Ben smirked.

Catra while deeply humiliated by her past defeats could only, strangely smirk. "You wanna talk embarrassing?Look who you're with. She gestured to the group Adora stood with. "You seriously ditched me, for Princesses? Funny the Adora I once knew was strong but since joining these guys you've gone soft."

"She didn't ditch you Catra, she made a choice because unlike you and everyone else in the Horde she knows the difference between what's right and wrong." Ben said to her defending his friend. "And if you really were a good friend to Adora you would leave with her but instead chose to live in fear of what Shadow Weaver might do to you. Because from where I'm standing you and the Horde know nothing of friendship and love!"

She-Ra, couldn't help by how Ben stood up for her like that and so she stood with him.

"He's right Catra, I'm not letting the Horde take this world and I will free it, so you can tell Hordak that his days of tormenting this planet are numbered!" She-Ra said determined. "So let's do this."

"Oh yeah ITS HERO TIME!" Ben exclaimed as he activated the Omnitrix and transformed into Razor Kat readying his claws.

Catra glared hatefully at her reflection. "Fine by me." She then turned to Scorpia. "Scorpia. Drop that thing and get them."

Bow didn't like the sound at that last part of Catra's statement. "Do not drop that thing."

Ignoring that and to Bow's shock Scorpia tossed the tablet aside into the grass below. Bow did shriek at how his pad would've been damaged. Glimmer teleported over as the camera eyed her from a worms eye view.

"Don't worry. I got it, Bow." Glimmer said as she picked it up and teleported over to said archer and handed him his tracker pad. "Make sure you get a good angle of us kicking Horde butt!"

"Yeah and make sure you get my good side." Razor Kat smirked in agreement.

The two teams of foes charged at each other in a battle cry. Frosta attacked with her ice staff twirling and firing ice at the incoming Horde soldiers followed by Mermista who summoned a wave of water blasting the soldiers back which were then frozen by Frosta soon after.

The two then shared a high-five with each other in victory.

Rogelio charges in and tries to attack Perfuma who summoned the roots from the ground below. Thrusting them at the lizard Hordesman who slashed at them with his claws. The flower princess quickly ducks to the left and traps him in a vine trap from the trees. Rogelio however just slashed free but before he could attack, he was caught in a net then suddenly an energy line trapped him and shocked him to the ground.

Perfuma looked and saw it was from Rook and Netossa. "Boom nets baby!" The net princess in a bad ass way.

"Indeed most effective teamwork Netossa." Rook nodded in agreement.

"Thanks guys." Perfuma waved. However just then she noticed someone approaching Rook. "Rook behind you!" She cried.

Rook turned round just in time to block an attack from Lonnie's taser stick then pushed her back as she swung a round house kick towards the Revonnahgander who ducked and flipped over Lonnie and threw his own Revonnah Kai styled spin kick which Lonnie blocked but want quick enough to avoid a strike from Rooks Proto staff. She was about to attack only for her to be swatted away by a large vine. Compliments of Perfuma.

"Thank you Perfuma." Rook thanked.

"Oh uh my pleasure." Perfuma simply blushed.

Several Horde troops were trying to attack Glimmer who just teleported away before they could attack. She reappeared next to another Horde soldier. "Hi there." she smirked.

The soldier tried to attack only for her to teleport away then reappear next to the two of them. She unleashed a magical blast at the two Horde soldiers. Two more were about to attack when suddenly a large tornado lifted them in the air and flung them into the trees.

Glimmer looked to see it was done by Spinerella. "Netossa's not the only bad ass around here." She said.

Scorpia threw a claw punch towards Razor Kat who leaped over her then threw several roundhouse kicks towards the Scorpi Force Captain. Scorpia threw her tail at him only for the Etherian cat to leap onto her tail and then land a kick straight in the head.

"I gotta say this is the weirdest fight I've ever done." Scorpia said a little wierded out she was fighting Catra's reflection.

"You mean the fact I look like Catra even though its me your fighting?" Razor Kat asked.

"Uh yeah a little." Scorpia said.

"Well maybe this'll change things up." Razor Kat slammed on the Omnitrix and switched to Scorpattack.

"Oh yeah thats way better!" She said as she charged at Scorpattack. The latter dodged her tail attacks then grabbed the third strike with his claw pulled her over swung her round and round then flung straight into a tree.

"Yeah I'm liking this form." Scorpattack smirked.

Suddenly the sound of clashing metal could be heard, he looked and saw She-Ra clashing with Catra.

She-Ra swung her sword at Catra who leaned back to avoid it before leaping up with Cat like agility and slashed at She-Ra's back which she cringed in pain.

"Are you ever gonna stop leaving yourself open to that?" Catra teased. However this time She-Ra was ready as she changed her sword to a rope and spun it like a lasso which caught Catra's left arm catching her completely by surprise. She-Ra swung the rope around flinging her opponent onto the ground.

"Are you ever gonna stop gloating in a fight?" She-Ra teased with a smirk.

Catra however quickly recovered and slashed her claws at She-Ra who blocked it with her bracelets before she changed her rope back to a sword and blocked her incoming attacks.

Before Catra could strike again suddenly she felt a sting on her face. She looked but couldn't see anything. Then suddenly a green energy blast hit her in the face again and again and again which caused her to swat at whatever was doing this.

"Hey gah!" She growled. "Who did that?!" She demanded. She looked at a small green light which hovered in front of her and it was a tiny alien with wings and metal skin. However what got her attention was the hour glass symbol in its eye. It was Ben namely his smallest alien Nanomech.

"Surprise!" Nanomech smirked as he unleashed another small energy blast right at Catra's nose.

Finally she'd had enough and with one quick motion clapped her hands together squishing him. Much to She-Ra's horror.

"NO!" She cried.

"Heh game over Tennyson." Catra smirked. "Guess he wasn't so amazing was he Adora. She-Ra was greatly angered at what Catra had done to her friend but it was then she noticed a brief green flash of light in her hand and she just smirked.

"You don't look bothered I just squashed Benny boy?" Catra smirked unaware something was appearing behind her.

"You sure about that Catra?" She-Ra smirked.

It was then that the Feline Force Captain saw the smirk on her enemies face. She suddenly felt something behind her. When she turned round she saw Ghostfreak arms crossed.

"WHAT!" Catra exclaimed.

"You missed me, to bad so sad kitty cat." Ghostfreak chuckled. "Now its my turn." He slammed down the Omnitrix dial and changed to Four Arms.

"Time to Omni kick it up!" Four Arms twisted the Omnitrix dial and one awesome transformation later he was armoured up in Omni Kix armour.

"OMNIKIX FOUR ARMS!"

Catra snarled as she tried to kick Omni Kix Four Arms in the head only it didn't make a dent. Instead all she ended up with was an aching foot.

"Really?" Omni Kix Four Arms questioned and with one punch he launched a rocket fist towards Catra who quickly flipped over to avoid it. But wasn't quick enough to dodge She-Ra who threw her own punch with an energy strike which flung Catra across the ground.

"Nice." She-Ra fist bumped with the armoured Tetramand. "But you gave me a scare there Ben." She then hit his arm.

"Hey had to make it look convincing." Omni Kix Four Arms shrugged. "Besides it builds suspense."

Catra groaned as Scorpia helped her to her feet and was soon joined by Rogelio, Lonnie and Kyle who was hiding behind a tree the whole time, while the remaining forces rounded up.

She-Ra started to glow with a golden aura as did her sword. "Princesses!" She-Ra called raising her sword. "All your power on me!" The Princesses, Bow, Rook and Omni Kix Four Arms stood with She-Ra as a team and they glowed with a rainbow coloured aura.

"Now let's show Catra what the Princess Alliance can DO!" She-Ra declared as she threw her sword into the air fully energised as it struck the ground unleashing a shockwave of energy sending the enemy flying onto their backs. It would seem they looked completely defeated.

Scorpia was the first to get up and could see they were all but beaten. "Uhg. Secret mission cancelled. We're out of here." She picked up Catra over her shoulders and made a run for it with the rest of the team close behind.

"Wait, put me down." Catra protested. "This isn't over yet!" She cried as the Horde forces all but retreated.

"Looks to me like it is!" Omni Kix Four Arms called just as he timed out and reverted back to Ben. The princesses, Bow, Glimmer, Rook and She-Ra all cheered in victory.

"We did it!" She-Ra cheered.

"Aw yeah we bad!" Frosta cheered.

"One question ladies." Ben asked in triumph "Who has the power?"

"WE HAVE THE POWER!" They all cheered. Just as the static showed Bows face on the tracker pad camera.

"This the last video for now. So join Ben 10 and She-Ra Heroes of Power!." Bow said to the camera soon to be joined in a group shot, with She-Ra, Rook, Ben and Glimmer.

"And we'll see you in The Rebellion." She-Ra agreed.

"Yeah Hordaks not gonna conquer this world while we're on the job!" Ben agreed. "Heroes out!" The camera went to static before it switched off.

Authors notes: A...nd scene! Whew most challenging chapter I've ever done but worth it and I hope everyone noticed the small references in the chapter. In other news I've recently seen the trailer for season 3 of the He-Man cgi series FINALLY! And its giving me some potential ideas of a crossover between the two. But until then onto the next chapter which you might say is very masters and students related.

So until next time.

FOR THE HONOUR OF GRAYSKULL!
