Hello everyone, In this chapter, Project Iron will be revealed, and I can't wait for you all to read their first fight. It's something I couldn't resist or wait to write, and I thought it set the tune for how dangerous Project Iron is in the story perfectly, but I'll leave that up to you. Now here's chapter 16.
Chapter 16
Ties That Bind Can Be Broken By Iron
Dryl
In the kingdom of Dryl, Catra and Purrloin were having Horde forces plant banners of Horde all over the place. "The city's forces have all fled. Dryl is ours." Catra said to Scorpia and Chloe over a data pad.
"All right! I mean, I guess it kind of already was our since their princess is on our side, but the banners really make it feel official." Scorpia said to everyone, as she and Stufful walked through the castle.
"Sorry I couldn't be there. Entrapta just started putting the finishing touches on Project Iron. She'll be done soon, and I'll head over. I was hoping to have their first test on the Dryl forces, but I guess we'll have to test them on something else." Chloe said to everyone.
"Great, I'll greet you when you show up." Scorpia said to Chloe. "Wait, where are you and Stufful?" Catra asked Scorpia. "That is a great question and the answer is, I don't know. Yeah, this place is some kind of maze." Scorpia said to everyone.
"Not surprising, not even Entrapta knows where she is in that place, and she designed the place." Chloe said to everyone, as they heard a loud bang in the background. "I gotta go." Chloe said to everyone. "Entrapta! I told you not to take that screw!" Chloe said, before turning off her data pad.
This made Catra groan, and pressed her badge. "There. That's me. Follow it out when you're done. And hurry up, we've got work to do when Chloe shows up." Catra said to Scorpia, as Scorpia pad became a map with Scorpia as a red dot and Catra as a green dot.
"I'm so excited to see Project Iron in action." Purrloin said to Catra. "Adora's never going to know what hit her." Catra said to Purrloin, before she and Purrloin started to move.
Meanwhile, two Rebellion scouts watched all of this, and ran away before they were found to report this turn of events to the Rebellion.
First One Temple
At the First One Temple, Light Hope was making Adora Eevee, and Charcadet fight the Flying Type bot in a simulation. "Incinerate." Charcadet said, as he fired a ball of fire at the Flying Type bot.
But the Flying Type bot fired a massive burst of winds at Charcadet, snuffing out his fireball. "Protect." Eevee said, as she formed a green bubble around herself and Charcadet, blocking the winds for them.
For Adora, she turned her sword into a grappling hook and went up, dodging its winds. Then Adora came down, and kicked the bot's head into its body, defeating it. Adora then turned herself and sword back to normal.
"Whoo! Getting pretty good, huh?" Adora asked everyone. "At controlling your sword form or trashing bots? Because you were already pretty good at trashing the bot." Charcadet said to Adora.
"You have shown improvement. But your attack would've been 57 percent more effective with support from your steed." Light Hope said to Adora. "But Swift Wind isn't here, so that can't be right." Eevee said to Light Hope.
"It can be. It is time to bring Swift Wind into your training." Light Hope said to everyone. "Uh, shouldn't I work on mastering my own abilities first?" Adora asked Light Hope.
"As She-Ra, your sacred connection with your steed is as important as any of your physical abilities. He is a part of you, your destinies are intertwined." Light Hope said to Adora.
"They sure are." Swift Wind said to Adora, as he stuck his head threw Light Hope's face, surprising everyone. "Hi, Adora! I've been here a while but there wasn't a good moment to make my grand entrance, until now." Swift Wind said to Adora, as he walked up to Adora, flicking his hair.
"And by grand entrance, you mean a heart attack?" Charcadet asked Swift Wind. "No, I mean grand entrance." Swift Wind said to Charcadet. "I requested his presence. The time has come for the two of you to forge your-" Light Hope said to Adora and Swift Wind, before glitching out, which confused everyone.
Bright Moon
Back in Bright Moon, Bow and Hazel were telling Glimmer, Noah, and all of their Pokemon of their discovery in the war room. "What do you mean? Entrapta's alive?" Glimmer asked Bow and Hazel, with a panic tune in her voice.
"I couldn't figure out how the Horde was making such big technological advances. But it all makes sense now. They must be holding Entrapta prisoner." Bow said to Glimmer. "How sure are you two?" Noah asked Bow and Hazel.
"We ripped that bot apart, and everything in it points to Entrapta handy work." Hazel said to Bow. "We found First Ones tech in the bot, as well as this strange coin." Bow said to everyone.
"We think that coin is what gave this bot the ability to use Shadow Claw. But we have no idea how it was a Ghost Type." Hazel said to everyone.
"This is what Entrapta was experimenting with before she-" Bow said to everyone, but was interrupted by Glimmer. "Before we left her in the Fight Zone." Glimmer said to everyone, as she took a seat with a sad look on her face.
"We didn't mean to leave her. We thought she died during the escape." Noah said to Glimmer. "Noah's right. We didn't know." Bow said to Glimmer, as he took a set net to Glimmer. "It doesn't matter. We should've gone back for her. We should've tried." Glimmer said to Bow.
"We thought she was a pile of ash. We thought there was nothing to go back for. And if we went back after we escaped, we'd just get caught again. Need I remind you that we barely got out of the Fright Zone in one piece the first time. And that was when everyone was in better shape physically and mentally. And after escaping, you couldn't use your powers, all of us were tired, and the thought of Entrapta's death destroyed our spirits. If we went back, we would just end up in our cells again." Noah said to Glimmer.
"But she got captured trying to save us." Glimmer said to Noah. "I know. But that doesn't change the fact we were in no shape to help her at the moment." Noah said to Glimmer. "Well, we can help her now. We've got to rescue her." Glimmer said to Noah, as she stood up.
"How? We can't just walk into the Fright Zone. That's how we got into the mess in the first place." Bow said to Glimmer. "Maybe we don't have to. Look." Glimmer said to Bow, as she turned on the map table. That's when they noticed Dryl had a Hord mark on it.
"No. The Horde took Dryl!" Bow said, as everyone looked at the map. "We just got word. The Horde has Entrapta, and now they have Dryl. the timing can't be a coincidence." Glimmer said to everyone. "Of course. They're making her use her own lab." Bow said to everyone.
"Are we sure they're forcing Entrapta to do this? From my time with Entrapta, I don't think they can force her to do anything." Hazel said to everyone. "Then they must be doing extreme torture on her!" Bow said to everyone.
"That's not what I meant. I meant she might be doing it willingly if it's interesting." Hazel said to Bow. "Entrapta would never help the Horde. She's a princess." Glimmer said to Hazel.
"One, she's a princess of tech, something the Horde has a lot of. Two, you guys knew her for a couple days before we lost her, you're not close enough to know her enough to know where she stands." Hazel said to Glimmer.
"Whatever's going on, we're going to the Crypto Castle, we'll find Entrapta and bring her back. No princess left behind." Glimmer said to everyone. "Yes! Totally onboard. Let's get Adora." Bow said to Glimmer.
"Adora is out training with Light Hope." Glimmer said to Bow. "What about the other princesses?" Bow asked Glimmer. "All of them went back home, with the woods going back to normal, they can focus on their lands." Noah said to Bow. "What about John and his crew?" Bow asked everyone.
"All of them are in Thaymor with relief supplies." Hazel said to Bow. "So the only ones available are us." Bow said to everyone. "Yep, so let's stop by my and Autumn's room, pick up my shield and hammer, and then we can hit the road." Hazel said to everyone.
"Hazel, you're not coming." Glimmer said to Hazel. "And why not?" Hazel asked Glimmer. "Hazel, Entrapta got taken trying to save us. I'm not going to be responsible for losing anyone else." Glimmer said to Hazel.
"It's cute that you think that you can make me stay here. I'm going whether you like it or not. Besides, unlike all of you, I kinda know the layout of Crypto Castle, and you don't. When you get lost, and you will get lost, you're going to need me, and hopefully I can lead us out of the castle." Hazel said to Glimmer, before they all started to get ready for their mission.
First One Temple
At the First One Temple, Adora was waving her hand into front of Light Hope's face. "Uh… Light Hope?" Adora asked Light Hope. "What's up with her?" Eevee asked everyone. "Did I break her? Was it when I went through her head?" Swift Wind asked everyone. "Considering she's made out of light, I don't think that's." Charcadet said to Swift Wind
That's when Adora touched Light Hope, as she glitched out, surprising everyone. "Time has come for the two of you to forge your sacred bond. I-." Light Hope said to Adora and Swift Wind, before noticing a freaked out look from everyone.
"Is something wrong?" Light Hope asked everyone. "Ah yeah. You kind of froze there for a second." Swift Wind said to Light Hope, as they calmed down. "Are you okay?" Adora asked Light Hope.
"Forgive me. My system is overloading. I may have to delay today's training so that I can rest." Light Hope said to everyone. "Is there anything I can do to help?" Adora asked Light Hope. "Perhaps." Light Hope said to Adora, before making a hologram of the planet appear.
"This is the Watchtower. Once, it allowed me to access my planetary mainframe. But it was destroyed by Mara when she lost control and attacked Etheria. I have been functioning at only a fraction of my power ever since. If you can repair the Watchtower, my capabilities will improve, and training can commence." Light Hope said to Adora, as she pointed to a spot on the planet and made a damage tower appear.
"Fix the Watchtower. Got it." Adora said to Light Hope. "Only then-." Light Hope said, but then glitched out enough to make her freeze with a broken face. "Okay, so, we're just gonna… We're just gonna go." Adora said to Light Hope, as all of them walked away from Light Hope, with a creep out look on their faces.
Dryl
Meanwhile, in Dryl, Bow, Glimmer, Noah, and Hazel were sneaking around the place, with all of their Pokemon in their Pokeballs, and Glimmer teleporting around the place. They looked around for a bit before meeting up in a random spot outside the castle.
"Any sign of Entrapta in the castle?" Bow asked Glimmer, as Glimmer teleported near them. "Nothing. And as usual, that place is impossible to navigate." Glimmer said to everyone. "I told you you'd need me." Hazel said to Glimmer, before they heard some yawns.
That's when they noticed a sleepy Catra and Purrloin walking to a spot that was right in front of. That's when Catra's tablet started to beep. Catra answered the tablet and was met with Chloe on the other end.
"Hey Catra. I'm almost at Dryl, eta a few minutes." Chloe said to Catra. "Good, this place is so boring." Catra said to Chloe, as Kyle joined the call.
"Hello? Tell me you're on your way back. I need back-up! Entrapa's new invention has lost it!" Kyle said to everyone over the tablet. "Bot 437 seems to be having some sort of existential crisis. Down, boy, down!" Entrapta said over the table, as she panicky ran around in the background, trying to take care of a bot with a lot of arms.
This caused Catra and Chloe to look at the tablets with a flat look on her face. "I told her to wait for one of us to get back before playing with her tools." Chloe said, thinking out loud.
But all Glimmer, Bow, Noah, and Hazel heard was Entrapta's panic shouting. This caused them to move closer, trying to hear things better. "Pull it together. You're fine." Catra said to Kyle.
"Stop it! Please, why are you doing this to me?" Entrapta asked her bot, as it grabbed her. "Well maybe this will teach you to do what we say." Chloe said to Entrapta with an annoyed look on her face.
But Glimmer, Bow, Noah, and Hazel thought Chloe was torturing her. "Entrapta, she's really alive." Bow said to everyone. "And they're hurting her." Glimmer said to everyone, before teleporting away. "Wait!" Bow said to Glimmer. "Oh no." Noah said, realizing that they were busted.
Glimmer then teleported in front of Catra, and shot the tablet out of her hands with magic. "Where is she?" Glimmer asked Catra, acting tough. "Sand Attack." Purrloin said, as she swiped the ground, knocking sand into Glimmer's eyes. This gave Catra the chance to kick Glimmer back. Then Catra and Purrloin charged at Glimmer.
But Glimmer recovered and rubbed her eyes. Once she did all that, she fired a burst of magic at Catra and Purrloin, forcing them back. That's when Scorpia and Stufful walked up.
"Hey! Brutal Swing." Stufful said, as her arms glowed black and she and Scorpia rushed Glimmer and tried to smash her. But Glimmer teleported around them, dodging their attacks, and punching them.
That's when Catra and Purrloin refined their focus and charged at Glimmer, but were stopped by an arrow and sharp leaves. That's when they turned to see a proud looking Bow and Rowlet. But they just growled at them and charged at them.
This caused Bow to panic a little as he fired more arrows at them. "Bullet Seed." Rowlet said, as he fired a large amount of glowing green seeds at Catra and Purrloin. "Fury Swipe." Purrloin said, as long white glowing claws came out of her paws. Then Catra and Purrloin started to slash the arrows and seed, letting them get closer to Bow and Rowlet.
When Catra and Purrloin reached Bow and Rowlet, lunged at them, and pinned them to the ground. Rowlet and Bow struggled to get them off them, as Catra and Purrloin growled in their faces.
Then Noah shot a concussive blast into Catra and Purrloin, getting them off Bow and Rowlet. "We gotta go!" Noah said to Bow, as Bow and Rowlet got up, and then moved to Glimmer.
With Glimmer, she kept trying her hit and run attack, but Scorpia was able to catch her by the leg. But that's when Hazel came up, and slammed her shield into Scorpia's face, and slammed her hammer into Stufful's head, giving them both a headache, knocking them out, and making Scorpia let go of Glimmer.
"Thanks for blowing all this. Now we have to go." Hazel said to Glimmer, as she pulled Glimmer up, and held her hand as they started to run, with Bow, Noah, and Rowlet joining them. That's when Catra got up.
"Get them!" Catra said to everyone, but noticed no one else was up, so she went after them. "Oh, come on." Noah said to everyone, before Glimmer hugged everyone, and teleported everyone into the castle.
But once Glimmer realized they were in the castle, she groaned and telepotted again. But she kept teleporting them around the castle, completely lost. "Wait, isn't this where we started?" Bow asked everyone. "I think so." Hazel said to everyone, making Glimmer groan.
"I hate this place!" Glimmer said to everyone, with a loud voice and pulling down on her eyes. "Why don't you say that louder and let the Horde know where we are?" Noah asked Glimmer with a sarcastic tune in his voice.
"I see the Rebels sent their finest." Catra said to everyone, before laughing, making them notice Catra leaning against the wall behind them. "See." Noah said to Glimmer, as Catra rushed them, and started to swipe at Glimmer, making Glimmer teleport back.
Catra kept on Glimmer, making Glimmer teleport around Catra, avoiding Catra's claws. Bow and Noah pointed their weapon at Catra, but couldn't get a clean shoot with Glimmer being too close. Then Catra finally grabbed Glimmer and pind Glimmer to the wall.
But before Catra could slash Glimmer with her claws, Glimmer fired a burst of sparkles into Catra's face, making Catra let go of Glimmer. "Bow! Noah!" Glimmer said to them, as she ran to everyone, with Catra right on her tail. Glimmer then tackled everyone before teleporting away. But as she teleported away, Catra grabbed Glimmer's cap and teleported with them.
"Glimmer! Wake up!" Bow said to Glimmer, as they noticed they were falling from the sky. But before Glimmer could do anything they all heard a yell, and looked up to see Catra holding onto Glimmer's cap. "What did you just do to me?" Catra asked Glimmer, before Glimmer then kicked Catra off her cap.
A few seconds later, they all landed on the ground, with Catra landing face first, and her tail standing up. "And here I thought cats landed on their feet." Noah said to everyone, as an angry Catra stood up.
"Get back!" Bow said, as he fired a net arrow, and hit Catra, knocking Catra back, and trapping her in rope. Then everyone breathes a sigh of relief, before walking to hissing Catra. "Okay, we caught her. Now what?" Noah asked everyone.
Grassland
With Adora, Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind, they were walking through a grassland with all the grass being large and brown, and above them were floating rocks, with Swift Wind flying overhead singing a song.
"Adora, Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind. On an adventure. Fixing a thing that Mara broke. When she went nuts." Swift Wind sang, as he flew around everyone. "Swift WInd, could you not do that?" Adora asked Swift Wind.
"Just keeping us entertained while we look for this Watchtower. Any sign of it?" Swift Wind asked everyone. "Considering me and Eevee can't even see with all this grass around, how should we know?" Charcadet asked Swift Wind
"Well even if you could see. There's nothing here but grass. Maybe Light Hope got the location wrong." Adora said to Charcadet. "I don't think she did. I definitely sense something here, something ancient and magical." Swift Wind said to everyone. "Where?" Adora asked Swift Wind, looking around.
"I'm not sure. Perhaps if we combine our efforts, my intuitive powers might increase." Swift Wind said to Adora, trying to sound wise, but no one believed him. "No, that's okay. I just have to keep looking. It's gotta be here somewhere." Adora said to Swift Wind, not looking at Swift Wind.
"I could be wrong, but I'm sensing something's bothering you." Swift Wind said to Adora. "I'm just focused on fixing Light Hope. Like you should be." Adora said to Swift Wind, turning to Swift Wind. "No, you're troubled about something else. As your magnificent steed, I am attuned to your emotions." Swift Wind said to Adora.
"And you wonder why the Pokemon avoid you." Charcadet said to Swift Wind. "I don't know why. After all, I'm fabulous." Swfist Wind said, raising his wings, whipping his hair around, and trying to look sparkly.
"Okay, can you stay out of my head?" Adora asked Swift Wind. "I'm not in your head. You're just bad at hiding your feelings. Is it about me?" Swift Wind said to Adora, getting closer to Adora. "I'm fine. And no, it's not about you." Adora said to Swift Wind, pushing him away.
"Is it Bow? Noah? Glimmer? Catra? The Horde? The crushing weight of your responsibilities as the savior of Etheria?" Swift Wind asked Adora. "Stop. I'm fine, I promise. Just…" Adora said to Swift Wing with a loud voice.
"Let me think." Adora said to Swift Wind, with her normal voice. "Okay. I'm gonna go do a few loop-de-loops." Swift Wind said to Adora before flying into the air. "Hey Adora Look up." Eevee said, as she looked up. Adora looked up and noticed lines on the floating rocks.
"Hey, Swift Wind." Adora said to Swift Wind. "What's up? Swift Wind asked Adora. "I think I found the Watchtower." Adora said to Swift Wind.
Dryl
Meanwhile, in Dryl, Bow, Glimmer, Noah, and Hazel were talking about what to do with Catra, with Rowlet, Ralts, Feraligatr, and Luxray out of their Pokeballs, with Catra tied up in some vines.
"We took a hostage. We're supposed to be the good guys." Bow said to everyone, with a sad tune in his voice. "It should worry me that you feel worse taking an actual Horde soldier as a hostage. Then when you took me as a hostage." Noah said to Bow.
"I still feel guilty about that." Bow said to Noah, putting a hand on his face. "Maybe we should just let her go-." Bow said to everyone, but was interpreted by Glimmer. "Let her go? Did she let us go? No! She let the Horde torture us." Glimmer said to Bow.
"Uh, yeah, because she's a bad guy." Bow said to Glimmer. "Listen. We didn't mean for this to happen, but it did, and now we should use it to our advantage." Glimmer said to Bow. "I agree with her, either for information or to get Entrapta back, having Catra give us an advantage." Hazel said to everyone.
"Plus, given how much Adora talks about Catra, I'm sure Adora would want Catra in Bright Moon, where she can try and turn Catra over to our side." Noah said to everyone. "Are you seriously thinking we should let her join us?" Glimmer asked Noah, before walking away. "No, but that's probably what Adora would do." Noah said to Glimmer.
"We're taking you to Bright Moon. If your people want you back they'll have to give us Entrapta." Glimmer said to Catra. "Entrapta? Pfft. Who's that?" Catra asked Glimmer with a silly tune in her voice. This caused Glimmer to grab Catra and pull her close.
"We know you have her! Where is she? What are you doing to her?" Glimmer asked Catra, shaking Catra. "Glimmer!" Bow said to Glimmer, as he put a hand on her shoulder, making Glimmer let go of Catra, and Catra fell to the ground.
"Oh, Entrapta. You mean the princess you left behind to die? Ha. Don't worry. We're taking good care of her." Catra said to Glimmer. "On your feet, Horde scum." Glimmer said to Catra, causing Catra to lay down. "Whoops. I can't walk. Unless you wanna untie me." Catra said to Glimmer.
"Nice try. I'll just teleport us there." Glimmer said to Catra. "Uh, Glimmer, can I talk to you real quick?" Bow said to Glimmer, leading Glimmer to the others. "Bright Moon is pretty far away. Shouldn't you wait until we get closer to teleport us? You don't want to run out of power and get us stuck out here. Especially with… her." Bow said to Glimmer.
This caused Glimmer to groan. "Fine." Glimmer said to Bow. But Catra heard all this and smirked proudly.
Grassland
With Adora, Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind, Adora, Eevee, Charcadet were on Swift Wind back, as Swift Wind flew through the rubble.
"Wow. Mara did a number on this place." Swift Wind said to everyone. "A number, she trashed this place." Charcadet said to Swift Wind. "Let's put it back together. For the honor of Grayskull!" Adora said to everyone, as she turned into She-Ra. "Not to be mean, but how are we going to turn these rocks into a tower?" Eevee asked Adora.
"Like this." Adora said to Eevee, as Swift Wind moved them closer to one of the rocks, letting Adora touch it with her sword. And while her sword and the rock glowed for a couple seconds, nothing happened. This conceded Adora.
"She-Ra and Swift Wind. Forging a sacred bond. Fixing a magic tower. With a magical sword." Swift Wind sang, earning a hair pull from Charcadet. "The singing is not helping." Charcadet said to Swift Wind.
Dryl
Meanwhile, in Dryl, Bow, Glimmer, Noah, Hazel, Rowlet, Ralts, Feraligatr, and Luxray were walking back to Bright Moon, while walking next to a clift, with Feraligatr carrying Catra. But then Catra used her body to jump off Feraligatr. "How many times are you going to do that?" Feraligatr asked Catra.
"Hey. Are you okay?" Bow asked Catra, helping Catra up. "Like you care." Catra said to Bow. "We do, actually. The Rebellion treats its prisoners with compassion." Bow said to Catra, as Catra noticed Glimmer walking ahead of everyone.
"You princess types always have to be the bleeding hearts don't you. Everything is about the power of friendship. How's that working out for you?" Catra asked Bow. "Come on. I bet even the Horde has friends. What about Adora?" Bow asked Catra, making Catra scuff and look away.
"You two grew up together. What was she like as a kid?" Bow asked Catra, earning a mean growl from Catra. "I see Adora is a touchy subject." Noah said to Catra. "Glimmer and I have known each other forever. She'd teleport to the roof to get my lost arrows when I was learning to shoot.
"Bow, should you really be telling her all this?" Hazel asked Bow. "Wow. You two must be really close. Glimmer would do anything for you, huh?" Catra asked Bow. "Absolutely. She's my best friend." Bow said to Catra. "Good to know." Catra said to Bow, before tackling Bow, pushing him off the edge, making Bow scream.
"Bow!" Glimmer said, as everyone rushed to the side of the cliff. That's when the cliff gave way and made everyone but Glimmer fall down the cliff, with Glimmer teleporting to Carta and Bow.
"Oh, hey, princess." Catra said to Glimmer, as Glimmer appeared next to her and Bow, with Catra's claws in Bow. "How are you such a nightmare?" Glimmer asked Catra. "Ah. Years of practice." Catra said to Glimmer.
"I hate to interrupt but. We are still falling." Noah said, as he and the other reached them. "Yeah, can we please discuss this when we're not hurtling to our deaths?" Bo asked Glimmer. "You know what. I'm ready to see if cats do land on their feet." Glimmer said to everyone, crossing her arms and legs.
"Please, don't do that! She is attached to me!" Bow said to Glimmer. "I don't think we need to worry about that. With the bottom being water, and at our current speed, we'll turn into a very big mess when we hit." Noah said to everyone, with a flat tune in his voice.
"Glimmer!" Bow said to Glimmer, panicking. Glimmer groaned. "Okay." Glimmer said to everyone, as they touched each other, and Glimmer teleported all of them.
But Glimmer only teleported them a little above the water, and they fell down into the water. Once they hit the water, Noah let out Mantine, Brionne, and Kingdra. And Hazel let out Floatzel.
Then the burst out of the water, with Noah holding onto Kingdra, Bow and Glimmer holding onto Feraligatr, Rowlet and Ralts on Brionne, Luxray on Mantine, and Hazel holding onto Floatzel.
"Thanks guys." Noah said to everyone. "No problem Noah, what is family for?" Kingdra said to Noah, as Catra burst out of the water.
"Not a fan of water, huh?" Glimmer asked Catra, before Catra put her arms around Glimmer. "Get off of me." Glimmer said to Catra. "Okay, ready to be rescued from this whenever you are." Bow said to Glimmer. "Just need a minute to rest." Glimmer said to Bow.
"Uh… you don't have a minute more like ten seconds." Kingdra said to Glimmer, as everyone noticed a waterfall. "Ha! Seriously, you guys are terrible at this." Catra said to everyone. "Just shut up and hold on. It's a waterfall, nothing we can't handle." Kingdra said to everyone, as the water Pokemon went over the waterfall.
This caused everyone to scream as they fell down the waterfall. Lucky the water Pokemon hit the water first, making it easier for everyone. They were under the water for a few seconds before everyone came out of the water, with the non-water pokemon coughing out the water they accidentally swallowed.
"See that wasn't so bad?" Kingdra asked everyone, as they moved to shore, this made Catra laugh. "At least we're in one piece. Can't say the same for Entrapta." Catra said to everyone.
This made Glimmer mad, and she let go of Feraligatr and started to fight Catra in the water. "Save the fighting for the land." Feraligatr said to Glimmer, as he grabbed Glimmer and Catra and tossed them onto the shore.
Once they were on the shore, Glimmer tried to blast Catra, but she was too tired to do so. "Glimmer. Are you okay?" Bow asked Glimmer, as everyone made it to shore, and everyone walked to Glimmer, leaving Mantine and Kingdra in the water.
"Aw, what's wrong? Sleepy after all that magic?" Catra asked Glimmer, before shaking the water off her. "I'm fine. You're not worth my time. Come one, it's a long walk to Bright Moon." Glimmer said to Catra, as she grabbed Catra and started to make talk.
But Catra had an idea, and licked Glimmer's hand. This caused Glimmer to shout in discussion, before letting a laughing Catra go and onto the ground. "Put more ropes on her!" Glimmer said to everyone. But no one noticed Catra activating her badges tracker.
Back at the castle, after Chloe arrived, everyone looked around for Catra, but had no luck. "What do you mean there's no sign of her? Where could they have gone? Think, Scorpia. Do we tell Hordak? Send out a search party? Put posters? How are we gonna find Catra?" Scorpia asked Chloe, grabbing Chloe.
"First put me down." Chloe said to Scorpia. "I mean, if someone has touched a hair on her head, I don't know-" Scorpia said to Chloe, ignoring Chloe, and stopped talking when Purrloin slapped her tail into Scorpia's face.
"Calm down." Purrloin said to Scorpia, making Scorpia put Chloe down. "Scorpia, we know Catra. She's smart and knows how to make people underestimate her. If she hasn't already escaped, then she'll figure out how to contact us." Chloe said to Scorpia.
That's when the tablet started to beep. Scorpia pulled out the table and noticed it was the map, with Catra's location on it. When they realized Catra was sending them a signal, Scorpia gasped. "Oh, she's signaling us!" Scorpia said to Chloe. "See I told you she'll figure a way to contact us." Chloe said to Scorpia.
"Catra! We're coming!" Scorpia said, before she grabbed Chloe again and started to run, with Lonnie, Rogelio and all of their Pokemon following them.
Grassland
With Adora, Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind, Adora was trying to fix the tower alone, but Swift Wind kept causing interruptions. "Try concentrating. Focus the She-Ra. She-Ra…" Swift Wing said to Adora, but was interrupted by Adora. "I can't concentrate. When you're distracting me!" Adora said to Swift Wind, getting frustrated.
"This worked in Salineas." Adora said to everyone. "In Sailineas you know where to aim and the gate was still intact. Compared to this place, Salineas was easier. "Hey, you know what might help? Loop-de-loops. With me. Get on my back." Swift Wind said to Adora.
"Swift Wind, you're not taking this seriously." Adora said to Swift Wind."I'm just saying. Everything's better with loop-de-loops." Swift Wind said to Adora with a relaxed voice, making Adora groan. "It's fine. I got this." Adora said to Swift Wind. Swift Wind then took off into the sky like there was no problem, as Adora turned her sword into a rope.
Adora then tried to pull the rocks into shape, but the rocks were not going the way she wanted, pulling Adora. "You good Adora?" Eevee asked Adora. "Still got this." Adora said to Eevee, before the rock pulled on the rope, making Adora fall to the ground. "Are you sure?" Charcadet asked Adora, as he and Eevee walked on her sides, watching Adora get dragged around.
The Woods
Meanwhile, Bow, Glimmer, Noah, Hazel, Rowlet, Ralts, Feraligatr, Luxray, Brionne, and Floatzel were still walking back to Bright Moon, with Catra being dragged by an angry Glimmer, and Kingdra and Mantine back in their Pokeballs again.
"I don't know about you guys, but I am beat. Getting held hostage is so much work." Catra said to everyone. "Yes, being a pain, must take a lot of you." Noah said to Catra,
"This is as exhausting as torturing Entrapta everyday." Catra said to everyone. "Ugh. Just ignore her." Glimmer said, mainly to herself. Then Catra got up, making Glimmer fall back, then Catra fell, and Bow caught her.
"You're looking pretty tired, too. Princess. Running out of glitter?" Catra asked Glimmer. "Aah! Can't any of you keep her mouth shut?" Glimmer asked everyone.
"Well, Bow refuses to let us knock her out with, and since he can't tie her mouth shut, we can not." Noah said to Glimmer, making Glimmer give Bow a mean look.
"What it is. And I did tried to tie her mouth, but she bites." Bow said to Glimmer, showing his arms had bite marks, and earning a wink from Catra. "How did Adora take years of this?" Glimmer asked everyone.
"She didn't run away from the Horde, she ran away from you." Glimmer said to Catra, before walking away, making Catra mad. "And where is she now huh? Off being She-Ra? Get used to it. You think she's not going to leave you behind, too, Sparkles?" Catra said to Glimmer, walking up to Glimmer, and making Glimmer turn to Catra.
"Don't move!" Scorpia said, as she, Chloe, Lonnie, Rogelio and all of their Pokemon came running up. This caused Bow, Noah, and Hazel to pull out their weapons, as Glimmer got in front of Catra, and the Pokemon got ready to fight. The Horde side also got ready to battle.
Grassland
With Adora, Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind, Adora tied up a few rocks together and threw a few rocks at a pile, before pulling the rope over the rocks. "How's that look?" Adora asked everyone. "Still like a pile of rubble." Charcadet said to Adora. "Yeah. It doesn't look like a tower to me." Eevee said to Adora
"You know what? I don't think that one goes there after all. In fact, it might be upside down. You should take it apart and start again." Swift Wind said to Adora. Adora said nothing, but got back to trying to stick the rocks together.
"You seem stressed. Why don't we list all our favorite things until we feel better?" Swift Wind asked everyone, as he got closer to Adora. "Talking with you doesn't really help keep the stress down." Charcadet said to Swift Wind.
"I'll go first." Swift Wind said to everyone, ignoring Charcadet. "Apples, hay, toppling unjust hierarchies, apples…" Swift Wind said to everyone, but was interrupted by Eevee.
"You already said that." Eevee said to Swift Wind. "I guess I did." Swift Wind said to everyone, making Adora shout in frustration, before pushing on the rock with even more force.
Swift Wind moved to the other side of the pile and started to push it. "What are you doing?" Adora asked Swift Wind. "I'm helping. I'm She-Ra's steed and that's what I do!" Swift Wind said to Adora.
Then Eevee and Charcadet then noticed the knot of the rope slipping. "Uh, Adora, Swift Wind, you two might want to stop pushing." Charcadet said to Adora and Swift Wind.
"Tell that to Swift Wind, his help, isn't helping! Swift Wind, can you just…" Adora said to everyone, before the knot snapped, sending all the rocks flying, with Adora going with the rock. "Adora!" Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind said, at the same time.
The Woods
Back at the stand off, Scorpia was freaking out. "Catra, are you okay? Did they hurt you? I will crush them!" Scorpia said to Catra, swinging her left arm back, almost hitting Chloe in the face, if Chloe didn't duck in time.
"She's fine! We want to make a trade. We'll release Catra if you release Entrapta." Glimmer said to Scorpia, pulling Catra closer. "I have a better trade. You release me right now or we finish Entrapta off once and for all." Catra said to Glimmer.
"What?" Bow asked. "She's bluffing." Glimmer said to Bow. "Scorpia, Chloe, get Kyle on the comm." Catra said to Scorpia and Chloe. "Already on it." Chloe said to Catra, as she pulled out a tablet and called Kyle.
"No, no, no! Wait! Wait! Oh, on!" Entrapta voice said on the tablet, with Glimmer, Bow, Noah, Hazel, and their Pokemon scared by this, thinking it was torture, but Chloe could see it was just Entrapta trying to gain control over a out of control bot.
"Force Captain, I knew you'd call me back! What do I do?" Kyle asked Catra. "If you don't hear from us in 30 seconds, take Entrapta out." Catra said to Kyle. "What?" Kyle asked Catra, as they heard loud banging over the tablet.
That's when Glimmer shouted and slammed Catra into a tree. "Two can play at the game." Glimmer said to Catra. "Catra!" Scorpia said to Catra. "If you touch her again…" Scorpia said to everyone, but stopped talking when Bow aimed an arrow at her head.
"Easy there, big gal. She's not gonna try anything. They're noble rebels after all. They play by the rules." Catra said to Scorpia. This made Glimmer shout and move Catra up the tree. Then Glimmer channeled some magic into her hand.
"Glimmer, stop!" Bow said to Glimmer. "If you hurt her right now, it'll make things go. So let her go." Noah said to Glimmer.
"This isn't fair! After everything she's done? After what she did to us? We're supposed to just let her go?" Glimmer asked everyone, as Catra smirked at her. "We don't have a choice, they're threatening to kill Entrapta." Hazel said to Glimmer.
"How do we know they'd really get rid of Entrapta? They need her." Glimmer asked everyone. "We can't take that chance! We're not them." Bow said to Glimmer. That's when Glimmer stopped her magic, and let Catra go.
"Get over there." Noah said to Catra, making her walk towards her side. "Oh! Oh, come here! Come on! I'm just so glad this nightmare is over." Scorpia said to Catra, as she cut Catra free. "We really gotta talk about your Catra withdrawal." Chloe said to Scorpia, as Catra laughed.
"Wow. I didn't think you'd actually buy that." Catra said to the Best Friend Squad. "We held up our end of the bargain. Now, show us that Entrapta's alive." Glimmer said to Catra.
"You and Adora are perfect for each other, I'll give you that. Earnest, naive, ridiculously easy to manipulate. It's adorable. And it's why you're never going to win." Catra said to Glimmer.
"What are you talking about?" Noah asked Catra. "She's talking about this." Chloe said to Noah, as she passed her tablet to Catra, and Catra took it. "Kyle, if you actually took me seriously just then, call it off." Catra said to Kyle.
"Kyle isn't available at the moment." Entrapta said, as she came on the screen, and they saw Kyle and Nickit getting spun around by a robot. "But I've got it under control." Entrapta said, as she zapped the robot, making it let go of Kyle and Nickit, and shut down.
"Don't worry. This was just the prototype. The next model will be much, much bigger." Entrapta said to everyone, loud enough for everyone to hear.
And when Glimmer, Bow, Noah, Hazel, and their Pokemon heard this, it confused them. "Entrapta? What's going on?" Bow asked Entrapta. "Oh, hey. You wanna talk to her?" Catra asked Bow, flipping the tablet around letting them see Entrapta.
"Hi, Bow, what are you doing there?" Entrapta asked Bow. "Just hang on, Entapta, we're going to rescue you." Glimmer said to Entrapta. "Oh, good. Rescue me from what?" Entrapta asked Glimmer. "From the Horde!" Glimmer said to Entrapta.
"Oh. Well, that's nice of you. But all of my stuff is here now, so probably I'll just stay. Thanks anyway, though." Entrapta said to Glimmer. "Entrapta, are you on the Horde's side?" Bow asked Entrapta, as he and those with him started to have a bad feeling.
"I'm on the side of science. But I am living at the Fright Zone now and the Horde is supplying me with tools and materials for my work. So, yes, I guess?" Entrapta said to Bow. "Did I forget to mention that? Ha. Oops." Catra said to everyone, as everyone else felt betrayed by Entrpata.
"But don't worry about me. I love it here. I've made unbelievable progress in my research. And the Horde has been so supportive. I'm getting closer every day to unraveling the mysteries of Etheria. Hacking the Black Garnet was just the first step." Entrapta said to everyone. "That was you?" Bow asked Entrapta.
"Entrapta, are you seriously abandoning us, your friends, just for tech and research?" Noah asked Entrapta. "I'm not abandoning you. I'm just focusing on my work, and the Horde is helping me with my work." Entrapta said to Noah.
"Entrapta, they're using you, they don't care about you and just want to build weapons." Hazel said to Entrapta. "But they have patched me up after I got hurt and Chloe has been making this Pokemon thing called poffins. They're so tasty." Entrapta said to Hazel, making Noah, Hazel, and the Pokemon give Chloe a odd look
"What? If we want her to work, we need her in one piece and fed. Besides, she's better company than most Horde members." Chloe said to everyone. "I like hanging out with you too." Entrapta said to Chloe. "Great, Entrapta finally makes friends, and they're on the Horde side." Hazel said to everyone, as Catra turned off the tablet.
"So much for the power of friendship." Catra said to everyone, as a sad look appeared on their face, with Glimmer looking away from everyone. "I gotta say that those looks of defeat on your faces are priceless. So if you leave now with all your hope shattered, we'll let you go home." Chloe said to everyone.
"Come on, Glimmer. Let's go." Bow said to Glimmer, putting a hand on Glimmer's shoulder. But Glimmer didn't move or say anything. "Glimmer?" Bow asked Glimmer. Then Glimmer flashed Bow an angry face, before charging at Catra.
"I see your choice to reject our offer, shame." Chloe said to Glimmer, before snapping her fingers. That's when a rock came shooting out of the woods behind them, hitting Glimmer in the gut, knocking her back, and onto the ground. "Glimmer!" Bow said to Glimmer, rushing to Glimmer side. That's when they heard large footsteps walking towards them.
They turned their heads to see a a massive green robot, it has stubby arms and legs, with three tiny black claws on its arms, some big black feet with three black claws on it, it had a long green tail on it's back with the end of the tail having four spikes around a long black curve spike, it had light green lights around all over its body, large light green lights spikes on its back, a green head with three horns on the top of the head, a black jaw with two fangs in it, and black hole eyes with digital green eyes.
"What the? A robotic Tyranitar?" Noah asked, with a surprised look on his face. "This is Iron Thorns. Entrapta's latest invention. But it's not alone." Chloe said, as she pulled out two of Entrapta's Pokeballs, with one of them having a ring fused to the top of it.
Catra took the regular Pokeball, while Scorpia took the Pokeball with the ring on it. "Come on out." Catra and Scorpia said, as they opened their new Pokeballs.
From Catra's Pokeball, came a 4 foot big beast with a round dark blue body, dark blue metal flaps for legs, a short tail, two glowing dark pink lines that turn into one on the under part of the tail, it's back as 6 long black metal with four spots when they could bend with tree on each side, no arms, three long black necks with the neck in the middle being bigger, it head three dark blue heads with black hole eyes and red digital eyes, with the head in the middle being fiercer than the other two, and around the heads was frills with the outside being black and inside glowing dark pink.
From Scorpia's Pokeball, came a very big 5 foot tall robot with a silver body and black belly, spherical dark blue legs, black flat feet with glowing yellow lights in the middle on the feet and around where it connected to the legs, around it's hips was a metal strap with glowing yellow squares attached to it, the top of its head was a piece of dark blue metal black eyes with digital yellow eyes, and floating around it was two massive hands with three massive finger with the back of the hand silver and the front of the hand being glowing yellow.
"A robot Hariyama and worse a robot Hydreigon. Things are getting bad." Noah said to everyone. "Now, then initiate battle mode." Chloe said to the robots.
"Project Iron Model 03, Iron Jugulis, ready." Catra's robot said to everyone, with a techno voice, as it got into a fighting stance. "Project Iron Model 01, Iron Hands, ready." Scorpia's Robot said to everyone, with a techno voice, as it got into a fighting stance. "Project Iron Model 02, Iron Thorns, ready." Iron Thorns said, with a techno voice, as it got into a fighting stance.
"This isn't good. Heliolisk, care to come out." Hazel said, letting out Heliolisk of her Pokeball. "Octillery, we could use your help as well." Noah said, letting out Octillery of his Pokeball.
"Espurr and Indeedee care to cover us." Glimmer said, letting Espurr and Indeedee out of their Pokeballs. "Quaxly, Falinks we need your help too." Bow said, letting Quaxly and Falinks out of their Pokeballs. Then everyone got into a battle stance.
"Do you really think you can overwhelm us with numbers?" Chloe asked everyone. "Scorpia, care to set us up for victory." Catra said to Scorpia. "With pleasure Catra. Iron Hands use Electric Terrain." Scorpia said to Catra and Iron Hands.
"Activating TM-136." Iron Hands said, as it slammed its hands into the ground, letting out a yellow pulse, making the area around them glow yellow and causing tiny jolts of electricity to bounce around.
But then all the robots' lights started to glow really brightly and roared. "What the?" Bow asked everyone. "It's the ability Entrapta made for them. She calls it Quark Drive, when around electricity they're power is increased 30%. And thanks to Electric Terrain we can power them up wherever we are." Chloe said to
"Iron Jugulis, why don't you show them all that power you have? Use Hyper Beam!" Catra said to Iron Jugulis. "Activating TM-163." Iron Jugulis said, before putting its three heads next to each other. Then dark energy gathered around the mouths, before letting out a massive surge of black energy at everyone.
"LOOK OUT!" Noah yelled, as everyone jumped out of the way of the energy blast. The blast went through the trees behind them, carving a very long tube of space into the woods. Noah then tilted his head looking down at the damage Iron Jugulis did.
"We're in trouble." Noah said to everyone, with a flat tune in his voice. "GET THEM!" Catra said to her forces, making the Iron Pokemon roar at everyone and charged.
Grassland
With Adora, Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind, Adora had given up and laid down in the grass. "Adora! Adora! Are you okay?" Swift Wind asked Adora, as he, Eevee and Charcadet moved to Adora.
"I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know what this Watchtower is supposed to do or how it's supposed to help." Adora said to everyone. "If that's the case, then why are you doing all of this?" Swift Wind asked Adora, as he, Eevee, and and Charcadet layed next to Adora.
"I need to be a better She-Ra than Mara. I need to control my powers so I don't hurt people like she did. Light Hope is the only one who can teach me, and she's broken." Adora said to everyone, as she held her sword up and looked at it. Then Adora lowered her sword and put it down, as she turned her head to the side.
"You're really freaking out about this Mara thing." Swift Wind said to Adora. "How could I not? She ruined everything. And I don't know how to fix it." Adora said to Swift Wind, as she used her arms to raise herself up a little.
"Adora, you can't fix everything Mara broke in a short time. If you don't want to end up like Mara, then take things slow and steady." Charcadet said to Adora.
"And if you want to learn to be a good She-Ra, then maybe you should trust Light Hope when she talks about working with Swift Wind. He may not take the mission seriously, but he is a part of She-Ra and you need to figure out how to work with him." Eevee said to Adora.
"And about the mission. I'm sorry I didn't take this mission more seriously. Truth is, I'm just excited to be your steed. I guess I just got carried away." Swift Wind said to
"And I'm sorry I dragged you into this with me. You were just a horse before I accidentally zapped you with my sword. If it weren't for me, you would've been able to live out your days carefree in the pasture in Thaymor." Adora said to Swift Wind.
"Adora, I wouldn't trade my voice and my wings for anything. I've got the chance to change the world now. To make it better than when I found it. I can't imagine ever going back. Can you?" Swift Wind asked Adora. "He's right. You didn't force any of us to follow you. We're here because we want to be." Eevee said to Adora.
"Yeah, we're partners, and partners work together." Charcadet said to Adora. "Maybe you're all right." Adora said to everyone, before pulling everyone into a hug.
The Woods
Back in the woods, Glimmer, Bow, Noah, Hazel, and their Pokemon were running around avoiding Iron Thorns, Iron Jugulis, and Iron Hands' attacks. "Iron Jugulis use Flamethrower and burn them." Catra said to Iron Jugulis.
"Activating TM-125." Iron Jugulis said, as its three heads let out a steam of fire. How everyone dodged the flames, but the flame set the woods on fire.
"Octillery put that fire out with Scald." Noah said to Octillery. "Floatzel helped him with the Water Gun." Hazel said to Floatzel. "On it." Floatzel said, as he let out a stream of water. "I don't think I know the time for this, but fine." Octillery said to Noah, before letting out a steam of hot water. The two streams of water out of the fire before it spread out of control.
"Iron Hands, show them how cool your hands are and use Thunder Punch." Scorpia said to Iron Hands. "Activating TM-068." Iron Hands said, as its hands flew towards Octillery and Floatzel, encased in electricity. And before Octillery and Floatzel could reach, the hands hit them, and zapped them with enough power to leave serious burns and turn their eyes into spirals.
"Guys no!" Hazel said to Octillery and Floatzel. "Return." Noah said, as he and Hazel returned Octillery and Floatzel to their Pokeballs. "Now you've done it!" Noah said, as he fired concussive blasts at the Horde, with Bow firing multiple arrows at them as well.
"Iron Thorns, use Rock Blast X 4" Chloe said to Iron Thorns. "Activating TM-076." Iron Thorns said, as it shot four rocks out of its mouth. One rock hit the concussive blast, stopping the blast and turning the rock to dust, before the second rock then hit Noah in the elbow, leaving a bruise, rocks three and four went throw Bow's arrows and hit Bow in the chest, knocking Bow down to the ground.
"BOW!" Rowlet, Quaxly, and Falinks said, as they rushed to Bow side, as Bow slowly got up. "You're going to pay for that. Shadow Sneak." Rowlet said to Iron Thorns, as he sank into the shadows and moved towards Iron Thorns at high speed. "Same. Aqua Jet." Quaxly said to Iron Thorns, as he encased himself in water and moved towards Iron Thorns. "Right Behind you two, Headbutt." Falinks said, as they formed an arrow and charged at Iron Thorns.
"Iron Thorns, use Wild Charge." Chloe said to Iron Thorns. "Activating TM-147." Iron Thorns said, as it became encased in electricity. That's when Rowlet and Quaxly reached Iron Thorns and got zapped by the electricity around it, making them fall to the ground, their spirals.
Then Iron Thorns charged forward, not moving at a fast paced, but making a loud bang with each step. Iron Thorns then clashed with Falinks, and easily smashed through them, scattering the Falinks all over the place, with each Falinks having spirals for eyes.
"Rowlet! Quaxly! Falink! NOOOOOO!" Bow said, crying out. "Bow, return them before they get even more damage." Noah said to Bow. "Oh! Right!" Bow said, as he returned Rowlet, Quazly, and Falinks to their Pokeballs.
"Okay I had enough of you. Espurr use Psyshock on all of them, and Indeedee use Helping Hand." Glimmer said to Espurr and Indeedee. "On it." Indeedee said to Glimmer, as he put a hand on his back, making white energy enter Espurr. "Let's see if this does anything." Espurr said to Glimmer, as started to make a handful of purple orbs.
"Glimmer, Psyshock will only work on Iron Hands." Hazel said to Glimmer, as Espurr flung the orbs at the Iron Pokemon. And the Iron Pokemon just took the attack, with Iron Jugulis feeling nothing from the attack, Iron Hands feeling a lot of pain from the attack, but what surprised Hazel, Noah, and the Pokemon was that Iron Thorns took some damage.
"But that thing is a Dark Type, how could Psyshock work on it?" Hazel asked Chloe pointing to Iron Thorns. "Simple, to keep you on your toes. Iron Thorns isn't a Rock/Dark Type, it's a Rock/Electric Type. Iron Hands isn't just a Fighting Type, it's a Fighting/Electric Type. And Iron Jugulis isn't a Dark/Dragon Type, it's a Dark/Flying Type. With these new types, it's a lot harder for you to handle them." Chloe said Hazel.
"Let us show you. Iron Jugulis take out Sparkles Pokemon with Dark Pulse." Catra said to Iron Jugulis. "Activating TM-094." Iron Jugulis said, as it gathered black rings in its mouths. The two black rings pulse came out of the smaller heads, hitting Espurr and Indeedee, sending them flying through two separate trees, dealing major damage to them and making their eyes become spirals.
Then Iron Jugulis turned to Ralts, and got ready to fire its pulse of black rings. "Ralts use Teleport to dodge it!" Glimmer said to Ralts. "Way ahead of you." Ralts said, as he teleported away.
But once Ralts teleported away, Iron Jugulis held back his attack. Then when it noticed Ralts reappearing, it fired its last pulse of black rings at Ralts, causing a big explosion. When the explosion faded, Ralts was out cold, and his eyes were spirals. "This isn't going well." Glimmer said to everyone, as she returned her Pokemon to their Pokeballs.
"We gotta stop this Luxray crush those bots with Superpower. And Heliolisk, use Hyper Voice to drown out any commands they would give." Hazel said to Luxray and Heliolisk. "With Pleasure." Luxray said, as he charged at Iron Thorns. "WE'LL MAKE THEM PAY FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE!" Heliolisk said, as she let out a steady, but very loud sonic pulse, drowning out everyone's voice.
But that's when Chloe pulled out her table and pressed a few buttons. "TM-186, High Horsepower, engaged." Iron Thorns said, surprising everyone, before a orange outline appeared on it, and it charged forward, still moving at a slow pace, but was able to charge threw Luxray, taking Luxray out and making his eyes spirals, and ramming its body into Heliolisk, shutting Heliolisk up, as Heliolisk flew into a tree, her eyes a spiral.
"What how?" Hazel asked, as everyone rudded their ears, and she returned her Pokemon to her Pokeballs. "You really didn't think we would just have them only follow commands by voice. We knew that you would try and shut us up, so we added a few commands to our tablets." Chloe said to Hazel.
"Just how many features did you add to these things?" Noah asked Chloe. "Enough to make them stronger than any Pokemon you Rebellion can get." Chloe said to Noah. "No pile of metal can be stronger than a real Pokemon. Aqua Tail." Feraligatr said to Chloe, before charging at Iron Thorns, his tail encased in water.
"Iron Thorns use Dragon Tail." Chloe said to Iron Thorns. "Activating TM-044." Iron Thorns said, as its tail became encased in teal energy.
Feraligatr then reached Iron Thorns, and the two of them spun around, and slammed their tails into each other's tail. But Iron Thorns won the clash of tails, throwing Feraligatr off balance. And before Feraligatr could regain his balance, Iron Thorns spun around again, swatting Feraligatr with its tail and sending Feraligatr through a handful of three, ending with Feraligatr's eyes as spirals.
"What was that you said about real Pokemon being better?" Chloe asked Feraligatr, with a smirk on her face, as Noah returned Feraligatr to his Pokeball. "You're such a bully. Aqua Jet." Brionne said, as she encased herself in water and charged at Chloe.
"Iron hands defend Chloe with Ice Punch." Scorpia said to Iron Hands. "Activating TM-073." Iron Hand said, as it moved its hand to protect Chloe, and caught Brionne. Then Iron Hands, hands' glowed light blue and let out some cold air. This caused the water around Brionne to freeze, trapping Brionne in a block of ice.
"Thanks Scorpia." Chloe said to Scorpia, as Noah returned Bironne to her Pokeball. "What are pals for?" Scorpia said to Chloe. "Enough of the fun stuff, let's end this. Iron Jugulis use Air Slash on Sparkles." Catra said to everyone. "Activating TM-065." Iron Jugulis said, as wind blades came shooting out of the black metal wings on its back. The wind blades hit Glimmer and cut up her clothes a lot, before knocking Glimmer to the ground.
"Forget the Princess, she's got no power! Get them!" Catra said to her forces, pointing to Noah, Hazel, and Bow. "Right Iron Hands use Drain Punch." Scorpia said to Iron Hands. "Activating TM-069." Iron Hands said, as its hands started to glow orange and green and fly around the area, at the same time everyone attacked.
Noah, Hazel, and Bow tried to keep everyone away from them, but the injuries they got made it hard to do that, and getting suckered punched by Iron Hands and having their stamina drained out of them wasn't helping.
In a matter of moments, The Horde overpowered them and threw him into one pile, with all of them on their stomachs. Then Catra walked up to the pile, and stepped on Bow's head.
"See what your little naivety has brought you Sparkles, now you're going to be a prisoner of the Horde again. And this time, Adora won't save you." Catra said to Glimmer, gloating, as she rubbed her foot on Bow's head.
"I'm not as naive as you think." Glimmer said to Catra, before teleporting away. Glimmer then reappeared on the pile. "Turns out I saved a little magic just for you." Glimmer said to Catra, blowing a raspberry at Catra.
Scorpia then fired her tail at Glimmer. But Glimmer teleported herself and everyone away. This caused Scorpia's tail to hit Catra in the face. "Oh, that's gotta hurt." Chloe said to everyone, as Catra fell to the ground. "No!" Catra yelled in frustration.
"We may not have caught them again. But on the plus side, Project Iron's first battle was a big success." Chloe said to Catra, as she held out a hand and helped Catra up. That's when the tablet beeped.
Catra pulled out the tablet and found it was Entrapta calling them. "What now, Entrapta?" Chloe asked Entrapta. "Well, the new bot I made exploded and started a fire." Entrapta said to Chloe. "Again? This is why you need one of us around." Chloe said to Entrapta. "Don't worry Iron Bundle took care of the fire." Entrpata said to Chloe, as she bent down.
Entrapta then pulled up a two foot fall robot, it had a red round body, with the upper part of the body was white, two yellow feet that curved at the end into two points, red metal flippers for arms, a glow light blue belly button, a snow globe on the back that was as big as it's body that as glowing light blue and had a nuzzle the end, it had a round white head, with a patch on read on the top of it, a yellow beck, black digital eyes with digital light blue circles in the eyes, and white metal over the eyes it's eyes that end in three points.
"I still can't believe you made a robot Delibird. I offered you a lot of Pokemon, even Legendary Pokemon, and you made Iron Bundle to be Model 00." Chloe said to Entrapta. "Well none of those Pokemon really interest me. And I thought it would be more fun making robots based on that Delibird Pokemon." Entrapta said to Chloe.
"We know, Entrapta. You started Scorpia's Iron Hands because you found Hariyama funny, but you kept turn me and Catra down until we showed you Hydreigon and Tyranitar, and thought that they were so cool you just had to make Iron Jugulis and Iron Thorns." Chloe said to Entrapta.
"But aren't they the coolest? I'm telling you, these Iron Pokemon will be the first of a new generation of Pokemon." Entrapta said to Chloe, getting really excited.
"Whatever, we're heading back. We got data about Project Iron for you to look at." Catra said to Entrapta. "I can't wait. See you when you get back." Entrapta said to Catra, before hanging up the tablet.
Meanwhile Glimmer teleported everyone to a spot high in the mountain, away from the Horde, all of them rested for a bit before walking back to Bright Moon.
Grassland
With Adora, Eevee, Charcadet, and Swift Wind, Swift Wind horn started to glow. "Is this?" Adora asked Swift Wind, as everyone noticed his horn glow. "Our Sacred Bond?" Swift Wind said to everyone.
That's when they noticed flashing above them. "This is it. This is what I've been sensing. This is the epicenter." Swift Wind said to Adora, as everyone noticed a dark blue diamond with green lines floating above them. "How did we not notice that?" Charcadet asked everyone.
"She-Ra destroyed this place, now it's up to She-Ra to fix it. For the Honor of Grayskull!" Adora said to everyone, before turning into She-Ra. Then everyone got Swift Wind's back. But once they did, Adora and Swift Wind glowed white.
Swift Wind then took off into the air, heading for the epicenter, avoiding rubble floating around it. Then when Adora reached it, and taped the epicenter it let out a blinding light,, making lines appear on the rubble. Then the rubble started to move towards them.
"We should have thought this through." Eevee said to everyone, as they noticed the rubble heading towards them. "Don't worry, I got this." Swift Wind said to everyone, as he did a loop-de-loop to skillfully dodge the rubble.
"Loop-de-loops." Swift Wind said to everyone, as they all cheered in joy. Soon the rubble started to come together forming four pillars that leaned against each other with the epicenter at the top of them, and a large hologram diamond above it. Then as it started to light up, lines appeared all over the grasslands.
"Wow." Adora said, as everyone took it all in. "Not a bad team. Looks like we're getting the hang of this." Swift Wind said to everyone, earning a hug from Adora.
First One Temple
At the First One Temple, the tower on the hologram of the planet changed to a fixed tower, fixing Light Hope. "Then I will be back to operation…" Light Hope said, the sentence she was stuck on.
But then Light Hope noticed the tower was fixed and everyone was gone. "My sensors indicate they fixed it. Good." Light Hope said, thinking out loud.
Bright Moon
Back in Bright Moon, while Hazel and her Pokemon went to report the news about Entrapta and Project Iron to Angella, Bow, Glimmer, Noah, and their Pokemon where in Glimmer's room, with Bow, Glimmer, and Noah laying on their back in Glimmer's bend, letting their legs dangle, and their Pokemon below them licking their wounds.
"At least we know for sure that Entrapta's alive, and working for the Horde, making weapons to wipe us out." Bow said to everyone. "Not to mention making those crazy strong Iron Pokemon." Noah said to everyone. Noah and Bow looked at Glimmer, expected her to say something, but she said nothing.
That's when the door to Glimmer's room opened. "Hey guys. Guess what Swift Wind and I did today. We restored a First Ones' Watchtower so Light Hope can balance the planet and we brought a field back to life and-." Adora said, as she, Eevee, and Charcadet walked into the room, but stopped talking when they all noticed all them hurt.
"What happened to all of you?" Adora asked everyone. "That is a long story. Starting with a surprise, going onto annoying, then more surprises, and then a lot of pain." Noah said to Adora. "What are you talking about?" Adora asked Noah, with a very confused look on her face. "Oh, Adora, we've got a lot to catch you up on." Glimmer said to Adora.
Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter. Please follow or review if you like this story. And once I saw the Future Paradox Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, I knew that was something I had to give the Horde with Entrapta the one who made them.
As for why I picked those four Iron Pokemon, it is because I thought those four would be the best match for them(given the limit amount). And before you ask I will not have not Entrapta make Miraidon, Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder, and Iron Crown, well you heard Entrapta's reason for it(Plus I don't feel like mixing those 4 into the story)
