Hello everyone, sorry for the wait, you might have known the website was bugging out and I had to wait for that to get fixed first. Now some news.
The winner of the vote for the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves crossover is Fire Emblem Awakening of Galarain Trainers, and it will be a while before that crossover is out, the reason is that it takes place after the story is over, so I have to finish it first.
But here's a small summary of it, that doesn't hopefully spoil too much. Thieves and their Pokemon have stolen a dangerous relic, and the cloak figure sends a team made from the Children of the Shepherds to catch the thieves and retrieve the relic for him before something far worse than a Red Wizard can get its hands on it.
Now here's chapter 19.
Chapter 19
White Out and Freak Out
The Northern Reach Horde Base
In the far frozen north, Catra, Chloe Entrapta, Scorpia, where at a mining base, with Entrapta working at some monitors, with Iron Bundle watching her, Catra and Purrloin was getting up from a nap but were freezing, Scorpia and Stufful doing nothing of importance, and Chloe doing the laundry with Dewott while being annoyed by this.
"Hi, Catra and Purrloin. Did you two have a nice nap?" Entrapta asked them, as they walked up to her. "No! It's freezing up here! And in case you forgot, I'm not an Ice Type! I don't do freezing! How much longer are we going to be out here!?" Purrloin asked Entrapta.
"Yeah, why is this taking so long? You said there was a First Ones weapon here. Where is it?" Catra asked Entrapa, slamming her hand on the keyboard Entrapta was working on.
"I never said "weapon". I said there's a piece of First Ones tech buried deep under the ice, and a really powerful one at that. The energy levels, it must be part of the First Ones' supercomputer." Entrapta said to Catra, as she moved to another monitor.
"Just keep digging. Hordak is not going to be happy if we waste his time and come back empty-handed." Catra said to Entrapta, making Entrapta turn to her. "A scientist never returns empty handed. There's always data. Plus aren't we having fun with our girl movie night with the movies Chloe has on her phones." Entrapta said to Catra
"I'm not here freezing my tail off for data and movies. Find me something useful or we're packing up and heading home. This place gives me the creeps." Catra said to Entrapta, as she walked away with Purrloin, not knowing something big was moving outside.
These things were like metal bugs but with massive raptorial legs at the front, and they all went down the massive hole the horde was mining.
Meanwhile Sea Hawk was sailing his ship towards the Horde base, with Adora, Noah, Bow, Glimmer, Charcadet, Brionne, Falinks, and Espurr on the boat, with the humans wearing winter versions of their outfits, with Adora in her She-Ra form, and with Pikipek evolved into a Trumbeak.
"The Dragon's Daughter Five. she cuts a fine line on the sea, does she not?" Sea Hawk asked everyone, as he looked at the ship and ahead of them. "Wait. What happened to the Dragon's Daughter Four? Oh, oh, oh, was it adventure?" Bow asked Sea Hawk, moving next to Sea Hawk and striking a pose.
"No. it was Trumbeak." Sea Hawk said to Bow, giving Trumbeak a mean look. "Don't look at me like that. You're the one that brought Termites into the boat, and asked to take care of them." Trumbeak said to Sea Hawk.
"Yes, to take out the Termites. Not glow blue, get bigger, and drill holes into my boat." Sea Hawk said to Trumbeak. "Is it my fault that I evolved and my Peck changed into Drill Peck while cleaning up your mess." Trumbeak said to Sea Hawk.
"Can you two save this argument for later, and focus on the task at hand." Noah said to Sea Hawk and Trumbeak.
"Right, I'm honored to be a part of another daring mission for the Rebellion. "Well, you know, we needed a boat to get up here, and you have a boat, and John was unavailable to take us." Adora said to Sea Hawk.
"Yes I have a boat, and I was available. Truth be told, I was glad to have something to do. Mermista canceled our plans this week, and she;s hanging out with her friends and didn't invite me to join. I…" Sea Hawk said to everyone, but was interrupted by Glimmer teleporting next to him.
"Well, let this mission distract you from all that. We've received reports of Horde activity in the Northern Reach. They've set up some kind of outpost, but we have no idea why." Glimmer said to Sea Hawk.
"The Northern Reach is nothing but snow and ice, there's very little Pokemon in that area too. What could they possibly be doing?" Bow asked everyone. "I don't know, but it can't be good." Adora said to everyone.
Back at the Horde base, Scorpia watched as Catra looked for a heater in the boxes with Purrloin, blushing a little. "Okay, Scorpia, get your head in the game. You've got this." Scorpia said to herself. "Are you sure you want to go through with this? I mean it's Catra." Stufful asked Scorpia.
"Yes. She and I have a special bond, and deep down in her heart, she knows that." Scorpia said to Stufful, before walking towards Catra. "Is that bond called denial?" Stufful asked.
As Scopria walked up, Catra noticed her. "Scorpia, good. You're here." Catra said to Scorpia. "Yes, I am." Scorpia said to Catra. "Entrapta brought all this junk from her lab. Help me find a space heater or something since apparently we live here now." Catra said to Scopria as she kept looking through Entrapta's junk.
"So, I've been thinking, and I know you've been really busy and focused on your career lately, but would you ever want to… you know, like, hang out sometime with me?" Scorpia asked Catra.
"What are you talking about? We are hanging out. Right now." Catra said to Scorpia, completely missing what Scorpia was asking. "Yes, totally, totes. But, uh, what I mean was, like outside of office hours. You know, we could, pfft, I don't know, um, play a board game or do some other type of bonding activity. And not like our movie nights with the others." Scorpia said to Catra, trying to act cool and lean on a few crats, only to knock over the crats, making the First One disc that corrupted Entrapta's tech fall out of it.
Curious, Catra picked it up. "What is this?" Purrloin asked, as Entrapta noticed the disc in Catra's hands, making her shout as she moved to Catra. "Careful with that. It's a rare First Ones artifact." Entrapta said to Catra, as she tried to take the disc from Catra but was forced back by Catra.
"I've been meaning to study it but haven't gotten a chance thanks to me missing a piece." Entrapta said to Catra. "Entrapta, what have I told you about leaving stuff in your pockets and doing your laundry more often?!" A voice said to Entrapta, making everyone turn to see Chloe walking up to everyone with Dewott and a basket of laundry.
"It's hard enough to do laundry in this frozen wasteland as it is. I don't need to spend hours trying to get the 3 month old oil stains out of your clothes, or get a deep cut from all the junk in your pockets." Chleo said to Entreapta, as she pulled out a pile of tiny pieces that she collected from Entrapta's clothes.
That's when Entrapta noticed the missing piece of the disc was in the pile. "Oh so that's where it was." Entrapta said, as she used her hair to grab the disc from Catra, and the piece from Chloe, making Chloe drop the pile of junk in surprise.
"What the?" Chloe asked, as Entrapta put the piece back in the disc, fixing it, and making it turn red. "Perfect. Now I can get back to studying it. But I should be careful. The last time I deployed it, it ended up infecting all of my robots with some kind of murder-virus." Entrapta said to everyone, earning a look from everyone, with Chloe and Pokemon being concerned, Scorpia being confused, and Catra being odd.
"You brought along a muder-virus and not a blanket?" Catra asked Entrapta, as she took the disc from Entrapta. "It does other things, too. For example, when it infected She-Ra, she lost her powers. Also, she got drunk from what Noah said." Entrapta said to Catra, making Catra look at the disc with a smirk.
"A She-Ra off-switch, huh? Why didn't you say something sooner?" Catra asked Entrapta. "Catra, I don't think that's something you shouldn't play with." Chloe said to Catra.
"A weapon that can turn off She-Ra, come one Chloe, don't you think we should use it." Catra said to Chloe. "I'm focusing on the part when she said this thing made her personal bots go crazy. And worrying about what it would do if it infected our bots. After all, our bots have a lot more firepower than Entrapta's toys." Chloe said to Catra.
"So, anyway, in non-She-Ra business, when I said we could do something-." Scorpio said to Catra nervously, before the base alarms started to wail. "Uh-0h." Entrapta said, as she moved to the monitors and noticed a flashing red light from the mining sight.
"What?" Catra asked Entrapta. "It's just a small bump. I'm sure it's fine. But our drill bots have gone offline. All of them. At once." Entrapta said to Catra, sounding nervous, making Catra's left eye twitch.
"Come on. We should go check this out." Entrapta said to Catra, as she left with Iron Bundle, making Catra groan. "I hate this place." Catra said to everyone. "Let's just get this over with." Chloe said to everyone, as they returned their normal Pokemon and let out their Iron Pokemon.
Meanwhile the Best Friend Squad was walking to the base. "Come to think of it, Mermista never invited me to hang out with her other friends. I mean, heh, am I not cool enough for them? I'm so cool. I'm Sae Hawk." Sea Hawk said to everyone.
"You ever think that you're setting everything on fire, causing a scene everywhere you go, and keep talking about yourself in the third person might have something to do with why she doesn't want it to bring you along every now and then. Remember she's not as outgoing as you." Noah said to Sea Hawk. "No, that can't be it." Sea Hawk said to Noah.
But that's when Adora stopped, and everyone turned to her, with Sea hawk bumping into Adora. "What's wrong? Did you see something?" Glimmer asked Adora, as Asora kneeled down.
"No. I think there's something else out here." Adora said to everyone, as they noticed a large trail carved into the frozen ground. "Adora, this could be anything. There's no reason to start freaking out. For all we know these tracks could have been made by an Avalugg or a Cetitan." Noah said to Aodra.
"You know, they say all sorts of strange things happen in the Northern Reach. Voices on the wind. Monsters in the snow. Machines breaking down. Sailors disappear without a trace. We could be next! I am cool, right? I am. Right?" Sea Hawk said to everyone.
"Okay, first, get over yourself. Second, the voices are just the wind and people hearing things from a lack of sunlight. The monsters are just animals covered in thick snow. Ice caused the machines to clog up and break. And of course people disappeared without a trace, because if you fall down and don't get up, you'll be buried in the snow." Noah said to Sea Hawk.
Then Bow sighed, getting everyone's attention. "What's the problem?" Charcadet asked Bow. "My tracker pad's been on the fritz ever since that rogue communication hub messed with it. I'm having trouble pinpointing the Horde's location." Bow said to everyone.
"Worry not. We'll follow our instincts! This way!" Sea Hawk said to Bow, pointing in a random direction, sounding confident. "Or there's this new signal. It's big. It looks like a First Ones tech signature." Bow said to everyone, as Noah looked at his pad. "And it looks like it's coming from that direction." Noah said to everyone, pointing in a direct direction then Sea Hawk.
"That's where the Horde will be." Adora said to everyone, as they started to walk, leaving Sea Hawk and Trumbeak behind. Sea Hawk then turned his figure to the direction everyone was walking. "You know there's no shame in admitting your wrong." Trumbeak said Sea Hawk, as they started to walk.
Back with the Outcast, they were on the bridge over the massive hole they dug, with Entrapta looking over the edge. "Ah. Here we go. Well, the drilling bots are gone." Entrapta said to everyone, as they looked over the side, and Entrapta's voice echoed in the pit. "How can you tell? You're bots made a massive pit. I can't even see the bottom. How can you tell the bots are gone?" Chleo asked Entrapta.
"Trust me. My scanners are telling me they're gone." Entrapta said to Chleo. "What? They just disappeared into thin air?" Scorpia asked Entrapta. "Maybe there's scientific truth to the rumors about strange happenings in this region." Entrapta said to everyone.
"We weren't sent here to chase rumors. Hordak wants tech. If your bots can't dig it out, then maybe I'll send you down there to-" Catra said to Entrapta, but was interrupted.
"Catra." A female voice said, making everyone turn to see the Best Friend Squad on the other side of the bridge. "It's been a while." Adora said to Catra. The sight of Adora angered Catra, but Catra pushed it back, as she moved to the front of the Outcast.
"Hey, Adora." Catra said to Aodra, sounding normal. "You're pretty far from the front line. I guess Shadow Weaver's keeping you away from the action since you lost the battle of Bright Moon." Adora said to Catra.
"Shadow Weaver? Wow. I always forget how clueless you are." Catra said to Adora. "We're here to take back this land. Time for you to go back to the Fright Zone." You want us to go? Try and make us." Catra said to Adora. "My pleasure." Adora said to Catra, as she charged at Catra.
"Iron Jugulis use Heat Wave." Catra said to Iron Jugulis. "Activating Northern Moves Set, using TM-118." Iron Jugulis said, as he let out a burst of a red hot wind at the Best Friend Squad, blowing Adora back towards everyone and making everyone but Charcadet sweat a little.
"Now Iron Thorns use Blizzard!" Chloe said to Iron Thorns. "Activating Northern Moveset, using TM-143." Iron Thorns said, as he let out a burst of freezing wind and snow. The wind and snow hit the Best Friend Squad, making their sweat turn to ice.
Catra then mocked Adora, before running away with Iron Jugulis. This made Adora blindly chase after her. "Adora, wait! Don't go blindly rushing in!" Charcadet said to Adora, as he ran after them.
This made everyone pull out their weapons. "Adventure!" Sea Hawk said, as she moved in front of everyone. "Adventure!" Sea Hawk said to everyone.
"This is not how this was supposed to go." Scorpia said to everyone. "Just start fighting." Chloe said Scorpia. "Right, Iron Hands use Ice Punch." Scorpia said to Chloe and Iron Hands, as she jumped into the air and came down on Sea Hawk, before running at everyone.
"Activating Northern Moveset, using TM-069." Iron Hands said, as his fist glowed light blue and let out some frost, and he fired his fists at the Best Friend Squad.
"Reflect!" Espurr said, as she made a glass wall that blocked the fists, as Glimmer fired sparkle balls into Scorpia's eyes.
"Iron Hands use Brick Break." Scorpia said, as she raised her pincers to block Glimmer sparkle balls, and rushed Glimmer again.
"Activating Northern Moveset, using TM-058." Iron Hands said, as his fist glowed orange, and caused them to smash through the glass wall, making Glimmer flinch as some of the glass fell around her.
This let Scorpia grab Glimmer and toss her over the edge. This caused Glimmer to scream as she falled, and as she got close to the bottom, she noticed blue eyes in the pit. That's when Glimmer teleported to the top of the pit, and tried to catch her breath.
With Noah and Chloe, they were trading shots. "Iron Thorns, rip them apart with Fire Fang." Chloe said to Iron Thorns. "Activating Northern Moveset, using TM-008." Iron Thorns said, as his mouth started to let out flames in the shape of fangs, and he charged at Noah.
"Brionne put those flames out with Bubble Beam!" Noah said to Brionne. "On it!" Brionne said to Noah, as she fired a surge of bubbles at Iron Thorns, amining for his mouth, and many of the bubbles hit Iron Thorns' mouth and a few hit his face, putting out his fire and making him stop.
"Trumbeak use Fury Attack." Sea Hawk said as she tried to hit Scorpia with his rapier. But Scorpia used her pincers to block his attacks.
"I'm working on it!" Trumbeak said, as his beck glowed white and he tried to peck Iron Hands, only for Iron Hands to block Trumbeak's pecks with his fists. This caused a bit of a stand still.
"Hey, while we're here, would you describe me as "cool"? Be honest now." Sea Hawk asked Scorpia. "Potentially." Scorpia said to Sea Hawk, as she forced him back.
Meanwhile Bow was chasing after Entrapta and iron Bundle with Falinks a bit behind them. "Entrapta, whatever you're doing here has to stop! You don't understand the forces you're messing with!" Bow said to Entrapta. "I know! That's the fun of it! Iron Bundle can you stop him with Ice Beam." Entrapta said to Bow and Iron Bundle.
"Activating TM-135." Iron Bundle said, as he moved the ball on his back to his right flipper. He then opened it and fired a light blue beam at Bow's legs, freezing him to the bridge.
"Bow, try catching her first, before you try to reason with her. Smart Strike!" Falinks said to Bow, as the leader's horn glowed silver and slammed the horn into a weak spot of the ice, shattering it and freeing Bow.
With Adora, she still changed after Catra and Iron Jugulis, and turned her sword into a staff, and far behind was Charcadet. "Adora, wait up!" Charcadet said to Adora.
But Adora didn't listen and started to swing at Catra and Iron Jugulis. "Iron Jugulis turn up the heat with Fire Blast." Catra said to Iron Jugulis. "Activating Northern Moveset, using TM-141." Iron Jugulis said, as he fired a massive burst of fire that formed into the shape of a fire kanji.
The flames hit in front of Adora, sending her flying back a bit and onto the ground. And as Adora got up, Catra gave her a mocking look, annoying her.
Then as Catra and Iron Jugulis ran away, Adora turned her staff into a rope, and lasso Catra's right leg, making her fall, as Iron Jugulis moved a bit forward before turning around to see Adora drag Catra closer to her.
"Don't move or try anything." Adora said to Catra and Iron Jugulis, making her rope into its sword and pointing it at Catra.
"Oh, please. You'd never have the guts." Catra said to Adora. Adora said nothing and removed her sword from Catra. "You know, as much as I love our fights, it's way too cold for this. Why don't we try something new?" Catra asked Adora, as she pulled out the First One disc, and slammed it into the stone in Adora's sword.
This caused the virus to regrow on Adora's sword and let out a red pulse of energy as she screamed.
That's when Charcadet reached Adora, and Glimmer and Espurr teleported next to Catra. "Catra, what did you do?" Glimmer asked Catra, as Adora let out scream and rushed everyone, her arms having red veins on it, and eyes glowing red.
"INCOMING!" Charcadet said, as Adora went on a rampage, trying to hit anyone she could. This caused everyone to run away while in a panic.
"You said she'd be powerless." Catra said to Entrapta, as she and Iron Jugulis ran to the other Outcasts. "She will be. When she's Adora. According to Hazel, as She-Ra, he'll get an adrenaline boost and become aggressive and wild." Entrapta said to Catra.
"Actually, this is pretty cool." Catra said to everyone, enjoying the sight of Adora attacking Glimmer, Espurr, and Charcadet.
"I know you're still in there, Adora. You've got to snap out of it." Glimmer said to Adora, as she dodged Adora with teleporting. "Or at the very least attack the Horde and not us!" Charcadet said to Adora, as they jumped around all over the place to avoid getting hit.
"We need to get rid of the sword." Glimmer said to Charcadet and Espurr. "Easier said than done. We can't even get a move off like this!" Espurr said to Glimmer, as Bow aimed an arrow at Adora.
That's when Adora was able to elbow Glimmer forcing her to the ground a couple feet back.
"Glimmer!" Bow said, as he fired a net arrow at Adora, catching her, as everyone else rushed to make sure Glimmer was okay. "What is happening?" Sea Hawk asked everyone, as he and Bow helped Glimmer to her feet, as Adora broke out of the net. "Adora has been infected by what I thought we smashed!" Noah said to Sea Hawk, as he shot plus blast at Adora, trying to stop her, but was having no effect.
Glimmer then teleports everyone back to avoid Adora's attack, and makes Adora slam her sword into the ground. But not giving up, she ripped it out of the ground and sent a shock wave towards the Best Friends Squad, making the ground under them unstable and they fell into a cravest.
"This is the greatest thing that's ever happened." Catra said to everyone. "Shouldn't we be worried? Now that they're taken care of. That just leaves us." Chleo said to everyone, as Adora turned to them and charged at them. "SEE!" Chloe yelled at Catra, as a worried look appeared on everyone's face.
"Protecting partners, activating TM-007, Protect." Iron Jugulis/Iron Thorns/Iron Hands/Iron Bundle said as they formed green bubbles around themselves and their partners.
And while the bubbles did stop Adora's first attack, she kept attacking the bubbles in a furry, making cracks appear in the bubbles. "Danger! TM-007 failing." Iron Jugulis/Iron Thorns/Iron Hands/Iron Bundle said to everyone, as the bubbles popped and Aodra got ready to slash Catra.
"Stay away from her." Scorpia said to Adora, as she tackled Adora, knocking the sword out of Adora's hands. This caused Adora to turn back to normal, and was out cold.
"Oh, I get it now. The sword got infected, not Adora herself. Huh. I guess she really is organic matter." Entrapta said to everyone, as she checked out Adora. "I don't even want to know why you thought Adora might be mechanical." Chloe said to everyone, as everyone else walked up everyone, with Catra laughing and holding the sword.
"That went so much better than I could've ever hoped." Catra said to everyone. "I'm so glad you found that madness entraining. But need I remember you that we almost got taken out like those fools." Chloe said to Catra. "Relax, it all worked out, didn't it." Catra said to Chloe, as she squatted down to look Adora in the eyes.
"Looks like you're mine now, Adora." Catra said to Adora, using the sword's handle to raise Adora's head. "Come on, get her inside." Catra said to everyone, as she walked towards the base.
Everyone else followed Catra, they didn't notice a couple metal bugs coming out of the pit, their eyes glowing red and red vines coming out of their eyes, and small red lines started to appear on the Iron Pokemon.
Back in the cravest, the Best Friend Squad, they were digging themselves out of the snow. "Is everyone okay?" Bow asked everyone. "A little shaken up, but otherwise okay." Noah said to Bow.
"Well, I for one am shocked and terrified. What happened up there?" Sea Hawk asked everyone. "It's Entrapta's disc. It infected She-Ra once before." Glimmer said to everyone.
"I'm just surprised that Entrapta was stupid enough to repair that thing after what happened with her bots." Noah said to everyone. "We've got to get to Catra and destroy it for good." Glimmer said to everyone.
"Okay, let's go, Glimmer. Teleport us up there. Adventure!" Sea Hawk said to Glimmer. "I can't. I exhausted my magic in the fight." Glimmer said to Sea Hawk. "Well then you should have joined us for our morning workout and dodged physically instead of teleporting all around Adora." Charcadet said to Glimmer.
"Not helping Charcadet." Glimmer said to Charcadet. "Guys focus, if we want out of this cravest, then we need to start climbing." Noah said to everyone, as he started to climb out of the cravest, with everyone following him, with Glimmer groaning.
"I hope Catra survives She-Ra so I can wipe that smirk off her face myself." Glimmer said to everyone, as they climbed.
Back inside the base, Entrapta was working at a monitor, Adora laying on the floor, Catra was squatting down and looking at Adora, Scorpia and Chloe looking at Catra, and none of them noticed the Iron Pokemon shaking a little as the red lines started to grow a little more.
"Always so perfect. Look at you now. You're coming back to the Horde under my command." Catra said to Adora, an evil look on her face. "So we're, uh, keeping her?" Scorpia asked Catra.
"You saw her out there. As long as we have this sword, we have the power to make her go berserk. We can turn the Rebellion's own hero against them." Catra said to Scorpia. "That's good. I wonder which of your friends I'll have you annihilate first." Catra said to Adora before chucking, and with Scopira forcing a laugh.
"Not to ruin your good mood, but this is a super bad idea. You have no control over her. She's likely to kill us just as much as everyone else. And I doubt Adora will allow you to give her the sword if it means hurting her friends." Chloe said to Catra. "I'm sure we can force her and Entrapta can figure out a way to control her so she doesn't kill us." Catra said to Chloe.
"Everyone I have news!" Entrapta said, making everyone turn to her. "It looks like the bots pinpointed the location of the First Ones' tech before they disappeared if you just give me a little more time." Entrapta said to everyone.
Ugh. Hey. This dumb mission is over. We have what we need right here, the ultimate weapon. Pack up. We've taking her back to the Fright Zone." Catra said to Entrapta, while looking at Adora. "But Hordak wanted us to-." Entrapta said to Catra, but was interrupted by Catra.
"Oh, wanted us to dig a useless hole? For nothing. Forget it. I'm bringing She-Ra back." Catra said to Entrapta, as the alarms started to wail. "I don't think we're done here." Chloe said to Catra.
"I'll go. It's probably just more Rebel idiots. Scorpia, keep an eye on Adora. Come on Iron Jugulis." Catra said to everyone, as she started to leave. "Oh, yeah. Yeah. I will absolutely look after this sleeping, non-moving person." Scorpia said to Catra.
That's when Chloe noticed the Iron Pokemon acting odd, with Iron Jugulis following Catra. "Scorpia? Is it just me or are the Iron Pokemon acting odd?" Chloe asked Scorpia. "I'm sure they just need some maintenance from Entrapta. Now I need to get back to watching the sleeping person.
That's when Scorpia noticed Adora was missing. "Where did she go? She was here five seconds ago?" Chloe asked everyone. "She went that way." Entrapta said to everyone, not looking at everyone, but pointing her hair to the left.
Back outside, the Best Friend Squad were still climbing out of the cravest, with Sea Hawk still trying to convince everyone he's cool. "I'm a pirate! Pirates are the definition of cool. Although, you would think I'd get invited to more parties. I mean, you think I'm cool, right?" Sea Hawk asked everyone.
"Considering my interactions with the pirate Chloe and everything they've done, pirates are not cool, they are very bad. So you make people nervous. And the fact that you keep beating a dead Rapidash isn't helping your case." Noah said to Sea Hawk. "Come on Noah. I'm just trying to understand why no one thinks I'm cool." Sea Hawk said to Noah, as he thought he was in a spot where he could stand without holding onto anything. But that's when the ground moved a little, causing Sea Hawk to fall off and scream.
Luckley, that's when Bow fired a rope arrow at Sea Hawk, catching Sea Hawk. "That might be a reason." Noah said to Sea Hawk. "I'm sea Hawk, I am, I am. What to take a guy for granted? Then I am your man. Unappreciated in all I do. Why can't they see I'm very cool? Guys, back me up, I'm very cool!" Sea Hawk sang, depressingly, as the rest of the squad got to a flat part, and pulled Sea Hawk up.
"At the moment, NO, YOUR NOT! AND STOP SINGING, IT'S NOT HELPING!" Noah said to Sea Hawk.
Back in the base. Scorpia was looking around for Adora, with Iron Hands following her, with the red line pulsing a little. "Just wanted a moment with Catra, but, no, I'm stuck babysitting her ex-best friend." Scorpia said to Iron Hands, as she looked for Adora.
That's when they heard some crashing, and turned to see Adora holding a mope in the air. Adora then moved towards Scorpia, and slammed the mop into Scropia's head, before Adora laughed and falled down to the floor.
"Uh… you okay, Adora?" Scorpia asked Adora, as Adora sat up. Adora gave Scorpia an odd look. "Wow. You are a big bug." Adora said to Scorpia, before falling to the floor, closing her eyes. "Whew. Yep, that is the truth. Glad you're seeing clearly. Now, come on, I'm taking you to the lab." Scorpia said to Adora, as she grabbed Adora's arm and started to drag her to the door.
But the door was locked and needed a code, making her groan. "What was that code again? Um, maybe-." Scorpia said, but was interrupted by Adora touching the key pad. "Boop, boop, boop." Adora said, as she touched the key pad.
"Stop that." Scorpia said to Adora, as she tried to grab her, but Adora disappeared. Then Adora appeared on Scorpia's back, and pressed the buttons again. "Boop, boop, boop." Adora said, as she pressed buttons, before getting tossed away by Scorpia.
"Okay, wait. I'm pretty sure it was…" Scorpia said, but was interrupted by Adora pressing buttons. "Boop, boop, boop." Adora said, as Scorpia tried to stop her.
"Don't. Don't. Stop." Scorpia said to Adora, as she forced Adora away from the door. "Why are you making this so much harder for me? Please. Please. I'm a woman on the edge. I've had a real challenge of a day." Scorpia said to Adora, getting antsy.
But Adora slipped past her and started to press the buttons again. "Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop!" Adora said, as she unlocked the doors, much to Scorpia's surprise. "How did you do that?" Scorpia asked Adora. "I put in Catra's favorite number." Adora said to Scorpia, sounding loopy before chuckling a little.
This made Scorpia groan. "I get it. You know Catra's favorite number, and I don't. Rub it in my face, why don't you?" Scorpia asked Adora, as something ripped the hallway out of the base. "Uh… that's not good." Scorpia said, as she looked at the now open area.
That's when Adora laughed and walked outside the goof around in the snow. But that's when Scorpia saw one of the metal bugs trashing the place, and it noticed them. Scorpia rushed and grabbed Adora, and ran back inside and closed the door before it attacked them.
"Change of plans. How about we stay inside?" Scorpia asked Adora. "Yay, it's girls' night in!" Adora said to Scorpia, as she spun around and fell into Scorpia's arms, and fell asleep. "Well not really a girls night in, we have Iron Hands with us…" Scorpia said to Adora, before she looked up and noticed Iron Hands was missing.
"Iron Hands? Where are you buddy?" Scorpia asked, as she looked around. And where Iron Hands was, was behind some boxes, his yellow lights started to flicker between yellow and red.
Back with the Best Friend Squad, they were almost out of the cravest. "Any sign of She-Ra? Preferably the version that won't throw us off a cliff?" Bow asked everyone, as he and Sea Hawk hid below the top.
"No. No She-Ra. Just a terrifying snow monster!" Glimmer said to everyone, as he and Sea Hawk came up and saw the metal bug slithering around the base. Then one of the bugs moved up behind them.
"I'm not going to turn around. But I'm guessing one's behind us. Isn't it?" Noah asked everyone, as Sea Hawk turned around. That's when the bug roared at everyone. "I KNEW IT!" Noah yelled, as they all screamed and ran towards the base.
Back in the base, Scorpia was holding Adora, looking out the window in the door, waiting for an opening to run to the rest of the base where the rest of the Outcast were. But the wait was making Scorpia groan.
"Can't believe I'm stuck in a closet here with you. I should be by Catra's side, protecting her. Why can't you just stay out of our way?" Scorpia asked Adora, as moved away from the door.
That's when the door opened and Sea Hawk and Trumbeak stood in the doorway, looking cool. "Catra?" Scorpia asked, thinking it was Catra for some odd reason, as the door closed. And once the door closed, Sea Hawk and Trumbeak let out a breath they were holding in.
"Inspector Pirate?" Scorpia asked Sea Hawk, realizing that it was him. That's when Sea Hawk noticed Scorpia and Adora. "Adora. Ahem. I'm here to rescue you." Sea Hawk said, trying to act like he planned this instead of this being dumb luck.
"Uh… More like, I'm here to rescue you." Adora said to Sea hawk, still sounding loopy, before laughing. "That doesn't make any sense." Sea Hawk said to Aodra. "I get the feeling sense is the last thing she's sensing." Trumbeak said to Sea Hawk.
"Is she all right?" Sea Hawk asked Scorpia. "I don't know. She is getting on my last nerve. And she's not going anywhere." Scorpia said to Seah Hawk. "We'll see about that. En garde." Sea Hawk said to Scorpia, as he grabbed Adora, and they started a tug of war with Adora being the rope.
"I don't think tug of war is the best way to settle who gets Adora." Trumbeak said to everyone, not that they were listening. But they stopped their tug of war when they got closer and Adora touched their faces. "You guys are my best friends." Adora said to them.
With Catra, she was walking through the rest of the base, noticing the place was trashed and the alarms shutting down. That's when part of the wall dented in, making Catra jump back a little, and pointed the sword at the dent. "I really hate this place. As the lights started to flicker, and she ran back to Entrapta, leaving Iron Jugulis behind, and not noticing Iron Jugulis pink lights start flickering red at a fast pace.
What's happening? Why is the power going out?" Catra asked Entrapta, as she ran up to her. "By drilling into the ice, we've unleashed these creatures. Now they're obsessively trying to destroy us. What an unexpected twist!" Entrapta said to Catra, as she showed the bugs on the monitor, and turned to Catra.
"This is just getting better and better." Catra said, as Chloe ran up to Catra. "Catra? Where's Iron Jugulis?" Chloe asked Catra. "What are you talking about? He's right behind me?" Catra said to Chleo, as she turned around, finally noticing Iron Jugulis was missing.
"Well he was right there." Catra said to Chloe. "Great. He's missing. First Iron Bundle and then Iron Thorns, now Iron Jugulis. What's going on around here?" Chloe asked everyone, not knowing that Iron Bundle and Iron Thorns were hiding in the room, with their lights now red flickering their normal colors.
Outside, the rest of the Best Friend Squad was doing their best to avoid the metal bugs. "Where did these things come from?" Glimmer asked everyone. "I'm guessing it's something to do with that giant pit Entrapta dug." Bow said to everyone. "You think that's why they're so made. Because Entrapta woke them up?" Noah asked Bow, as Glimmer stood up and looked at the eyes of one of the bugs.
"Guys, their eyes, they're red like She-Ra's. Do you think mayne the monsters have been infected, too? Ugh! Catra is the worst!" Glimmer said to everyone, getting frustrated.
This caused one of the metal bugs to notice them. "You just had to get frustrated!" Noah said to Glimmer, sounding both annoyed and frustrated, as the bug roared at them. "Think you have one more teleport left?" Bow asked Glimmer, as everyone got scared, and clung to Glimmer.
"Hope so." Glimmer said to Bow, as she teleported everyone inside the base, where Catra, Entrapta, and Chloe where. Of course things were a little bit awkward once everyone noticed everyone else.
"Hi! Entrapta said to the Beast Friend Squad, acting normal. That's when Bow and Noah pulled out their weapons, and Glimmer made her fist glow. "Whoa! Wait a minute!" Chloe said to everyone, as she got between everyone. "As much as we like fighting each other. I'm afraid we have bigger problems outside." Chloe said to everyone.
That's when they heard a roar, and all turned their heads to the source of the sound.
Then they saw Iron Bundle and then Iron Thorns coming out from their hiding spot, their lights now red and red lines festering all over their body. Then the two of them roared at everyone again.
"And now we have bigger problems in here." Chloe said to everyone, as Noah turned his head to the sound of the exit opening. "We have to get out of here!" Bow said to everyone.
"A little late for that." Noah said to everyone, making everyone turn to see Iron Jugulis standing at the exit, his lights glowing red and having red lines festering as well. Iron Jugulis then roared at everyone, before letting out three streams of fire at everyone.
Back with Sea Hawk and Scorpia, they were still playing tug of war with Adora still being the rope, with Trumbeak watching them with an annoyed look on his face, all of them not noticing Iron Hands turning red, but no red lines on him yet.
"Let's go! Catra entrusted me with watching her. I can't let her down." Scorpia said to Sea Hawk. "Catra." Adora said, before chuckling. "She's mean." Adora said to everyone.
"She's misunderstood! You of all people should know that." Scorpia said to Adora. "Given that she's somehow drunk. I don't think she understands anything at the moment. Trumbeak said to Scorpia.
"But she grew up with Catra. She knows her. How can I compete with that." Scorpia to Trumbeak, before lowering her head and letting go of Adora, letting Sea Hawk take Adora. "No matter what I do, I can't seem to break down her walls." Scorpia said to everyone, as she took a set on a crate.
"But you two, even when you're trying to kill each other, you can tell there's a real bond. I just… I wish she would see me as worth her time, too." Scorpia said to Adora, before burying her face into her pincers.
And while Adora and Trumbeak had a normal look on their face, Sea Hawk had big watery eyes with large tears stuck in the corner of his eyes. "I- I know how you feel." Sea Hawk said to Scorpia.
Back with the others, they all started to scatter avoiding the attacks from the Iron Pokemon.
While running, Catra ran into Iron Jugulis, who got ready to fire streams of fire at her. "Purrloin, stop him with Fake Out!" Catra said to Purrloin, as she let out Purrloin. "Don't drag me into this!" Purrloin said to Catra, as she came out of her Pokeball and swatted Iron Jugulis in the middle head, stunning him and letting them escape.
With Chloe, she was running from Iron Thorns, with Iron Thorns mouth on fire. "Greninja I need a distraction!" Chloe said, as she let out Greninja. "On it! Double Team! Greninja said, as he made many copies of himself, distracting Iron Thorns, and letting them get away.
"This is really good data. The Iron Pokemon have gotten much stronger. They don't even need to say their attack. They're acting like real Pokemon. This is truly fascinating." Entrapta said, as she started writing all of this down, ignoring Iron Bundle, who was getting ready to fire a burst of freezing wind at her.
But that's when Klink forced himself out of his Pokeball, and formed a green bubble around her and Entrapta, blocking the freezing wind. When the winds died down, Klink lowered the buddle and slammed into Entrapta's gut, and forced her to move.
Glimmer then tried to take the sword from Catra. But Catra noticed at the last second, and jumped up onto some crates to avoid her and the Iron Pokemon. "Always great to see you, Sparkles, but we're a little busy here." Catra said to Glimmer.
"Where's the disc, Catra?" Glimmer asked Catra, as she dodged a light blue beam from Iron Bundle. "What? You didn't like my new improved version of She-Ra?" Catra asked Glimmer, as she was forced to jump away from a Fire Blast from Iron Jugulis.
"Honestly, no! We just want to smash it in order to survive the mess you caused." Noah said to Catra, as he heard some stomping. Noah turned to see Iron Thorns charging at him, his arms on fire.
"Dad! Aqua Jet!" Brionne said, as she encased herself in water, and rushed towards Noah. Grabbing him as she passed him, and dragging him away before Iron Thorns punched him.
"It's times like this I'm glad I'm unaffected by fire." Charcadet said, as he hid. But that's when Iron Bundle appeared before him, and fired freezing water at Charcadet. "But I still don't like freezing water! Endure!" Charcadet said, as he glowed white, and got hit by the water, and was sent flying into a wall.
For Bow and Glimmer, they were getting chased by Iron Jugulis, who was trying to set them on fire with three streams of flames. "Light Screen!" Espurr said, as he made a glass wall appear behind Bow and Glimmer, blocking the flames.
"Nice work Espurr. Now Smart Strike!" Falinks said, as the leader and two of the horns glowed silver. The three of them moved in a triangle and then when they reached Iron Jugulis, they jumped into Iron Jugulis' throats, making him stop his flames.
"Nice work guys." Bow said to Espurr and Falinks. "Less thanking! More running!" Espurr said to everyone, as they started running again.
While running Bow noticed Entrapta, and ran to her. "Entrapta, please, look who you're working with. Whatever the Horde is giving you, it's not worth the damage you're doing to Etheria. Thos monsters outside and the Iron Pokemon are infected by the same virus that's affecting She-Ra." Bow said to Entarpta, as they both ducked behind the cart.
"Infected? That can't be right. The disc only infects First Ones tech. Unless…" Entrapta said to Bow, before gasping in excitement. "The bugs are First Ones tech. And with the Iron Pokemon having First One tech in them, it's why they're acting like this. Fascinating!" Entrapta said to everyone.
Back with the others, Sea Hawk and Scorpia were talking, as Trumbeak looked at Adora, as Adora layed on the floor like she was asleep, none of them noticing as red lines started to move all over Iron Hands.
"I mean, just once I'd like to hang out with Mermista and her friends. I'm good at groups. I have excellent stories of derring-do. Why don't they want me around?" Sea Hawk asked Scorpia.
"I hear you. Catra's been so busy since she got promoted. But she still always expects me to make time for her. Does she even understand how much I do for her?" Scorpia asked Sea Hawk.
"Exactly. It seems like the only time anyone wants to hang is when they need me to give them a ride or do something for them." Sea Hawk said to Scorpia. "Ugh. Tell me about it. Catra once used my rock hard exoskeleton as a nail file. I even had to buff." Scorpia said to Sea Hawk.
This made both of them laugh, as the red lines on him finished growing at Iron Hands, making him move towards everyone slowly. "Is there something wrong with us?" Scorpia asked Sea Hawk.
"You know." Adora said, as she stood up, getting everyone's attention. "You guys, you're really great. You're just, like, the best. You're good friends and good people. And I like you." Adora said to everyone, as she wobbled towards Scorpia, and leaned against her. "You are so pointy." Adora said to Scorpia, as she touched Scorpia's shoulder spikes.
"You know what? She's right. We are really great. I'm clever, roguishly good-looking, and a top-notch sailor. I don't care if anyone thinks I'm cool. I don't need their opinions to validate me. I'm Sea Hawk." Sea Hawk said to Scorpia. "And me, I am brave, strong, give great hugs, and I'm loyal." Scorpia said to Sea Hawk, as she held Adora.
"You may have left Catra, but someday she's gonna see that I won't. I'll always be there for her, because that's who I am." Scorpia said to Adora, getting Adora off her and looking Adora in the eyes. "Yay!" Adora said to Scorpia, cheering for Scorpia.
That's when Trumbeak turned his head and saw Iron Hands, and immediately started to freak out. "Uh, I hate to intrude on you while you're improving your self esteem. But it looks like we have a really big problem." Trumbeak said to everyone.
Iron Hands then roared at them, as his fists were encased in fire and he threw his first at everyone, making them scream in surprise and panic.
Back with their others, they were screaming, as they ran around, avoiding the Iron Pokemon's attack.
Iron Jugulis then let out a surge of hot wind at everyone at the same time Iron Thorns let out a surge of freezing wind at everyone.
"Light Screen!" Espurr, as he made a glass wall that blocked the winds from hitting everyone.
"Fury swipe!" Purrloin said, as she popped out her claws and rushed Iron Jugulis and Iron Thorns, and started to slash their faces, making them stop their attacks, letting her run away before they chased her.
That's when parts of the ceiling started to fall down on them. "Water Shuriken!" Greninja said, as he made shurikens out of water, and threw them at the rubble, turning them to dust.
With Iron Bundle he was widely firing a light blue beam all over the place. Then Klink spun his gears, generating electricity. Then Klink fired a yellow beam bolt at Iron Bundle, stunning Iron Bundle and making him stop his attack.
With Iron Thorns, he was chasing Noah after losing Purloin, with his arms on fire. "Disarming Voice!" Brionne said, as she fired a pink sonic pulse at Iron Thorns with hearts in it. The pulse hit Iron Thorns and got his attention, making him charged at her instead, his arms still on fire. But that was the plan.
"Counter!" Falinks said, as he came out of hiding from some crates around Iron Thorns, slamming into his chest, and sending him flying into some crates. But this only made him madder, and he roared at
"Uh, what's part two of the plan?" Falinks asked Brionne. "I thought you had an idea about part two!?" Brionne asked Falinks. "Just run! Incinerate!" Charcadet said to Falinks and Brionne, as he fired a ball of fire into Iron Thorns face, blinding him a little, and letting them all run away before he noticed.
"We have to destroy the disc, or none of us are getting out." Glimmer said to Catra, as they all moved to the opposite side of the room.
"Huh. Guess I must've lost it." Catra said to Glimmer. "Catra, it's in your pocket, remember? See." Entrapta said as she pulled it out of Catra's pocket, making Catra groan.
"Give me that!" Chloe said, as she took it from Entrapta, and got ready to shoot it. Only for Catra to grab it and start a tug of war with Chloe. "You're not destroying it. I need to control Adora." Catra said to Chloe.
"You're in control of nothing, not Adora, not this mess, not anything! Now give me this disc so I can end this, and save our lives! If you want to waste your life thinking you're in the right, then fine, just don't drag us down with you!" Chloe said to Catra.
That's when a bug smashed through the wall, scattering the Outcasts, with Catra having the disc, but losing the sword. And as the bug roared at everyone, making the scream, a shot came out of nowhere and shot the bug forcing it out.
That's when everyone noticed Scorpia, Sea Hawk, Adora and Trumbeak running into the room. "For the Horde!" Scorpia said, as she kept shooting from a stun baton she found somewhere.
"I don't agree with that sentiment, but I'm also here." Sea Hawk said to everyone. "Pew-pew!" Adora said, as she swung a mope around. "Also we brought trouble!" Trumbeak said, as Iron Hands came bursting into the room.
That's when Iron Hands fired his hands at everyone, with his hands letting out frost. "Huh, Stufful we need some help!" Scorpia said, as she let out Stufful. "Okay, Brutal Swing!" Stufful said, as her arms glowed black, swatting some crates at Iron Hands first. But the fists smashed, threw the crates, and still headed for them.
Noah helped them out by shooting a pulse at the fists, knocking them out of the air. This made Noah miss the rubble from the ceiling falling towards him. "Bubble Beam!" Brionne said, as she fired a stream of bubbles at the rubble, slighing moving it, and making it miss Noah. "Thanks Brionne." Noah said to Brionne, as they got back to running around the room.
Once again Iron Thorns was chasing Bow, with his mouth on fire, and Bow screaming. "Headbutt!" Falinks said as he came running from the other direction, passing Bow, and slamming into Iron Thorns' chest, making him stop.
"Fire Spin!" Charcadet said, as he fired a steam of fire at Iron Thorns, as Falinks jumped back. The fire formed a screw line around Iron Thorns trapping it.
"Nice work Charcadet, you caught him." Falinks said to Charcadet. But that's when Iron Thorns roared, setting his arms on fire, and charged through the flames, making the flames on his arms grow much larger. "Not really!" Charcadet said to Falinks, as they got back to running, with Iron Thorns chasing them.
"Fury Attack!" Trumbeak said, as he flew up from behind Iron Thorns and pecked wildly into Iron Thorns' head, stopping his attack and letting Falinks and Charcadet escape. Then before Iron Thorn could turn to attack Trumbeak, Trumbeak already high tailed it out of there.
With Sea Hawk, Glimmer, and Espurr, they were running, when they ran into Iron Bundle, who fired a light blue beam at them, making them scatter.
"Okay. I'm getting sick of this! Psyshock!" Espurr said, as he made purple energy orbs and flung them at Iron Bundle, making Iron Bundle stop his attack, and cover his head with a flipper, making Iron Bundle lose track of everyone.
"Can someone explain what's going on around here!" Greninja asked everyone, as she dodged some rubble by sinking into the shadows, and reappearing in another spot.
"Catra thought it would be a good idea to use something super dangerous to try and take over Adora!" Chloe said to Greninja, as she fired a few shots at the rubble that was coming down on her.
"WHAT! Catra, why did you think this a good idea?!" Purrloin asked Catra, as she swatted some sand into Iron Thorns eyes before he could attack Purrloin, and with the sand in his eyes, it let Purrloin get away.
"I don't see why you're all worried. This is all really good data." Entrapta said to everyone, as Klink formed a green bubble around them, protecting them from rubble and attacks that missed the target.
That's then Adora noticed Glimmer. "Hey, I know you." Adora said to Glimmer, before Glimmer hugged him for a second. "Adora, I'm so glad you're okay." Glimmer said to Adora, as Sea Hawk dodged some rubble and a first from Iron Hands.
"Girls, focus! Certain death all around us!" Noah said to Glimmer and Adora, as all got back to running around avoiding literally everything.
"Yeah, now's not the time for reunions. And we got fists incoming!" Charcadet said, as everyone noticed Iron Hands firing his fist at them, with the fist gowling orange.
"Incinerate/Psychock!" Charcadet and Espurr said, as Charcadet fired a ball of fire, and Espurr made purple energy orbs. They then flung their attacks at the fist, knocking them out of the sky, and letting everyone run away.
With Brionne, she ran into Iron Jugulis, whose mouth was ready to let out some flames. "Sorry. I'm just passing through! Aqua Jet!" Brionne said, as she encased herself in water, and flew past Iron Jugulis, as Iron Jugulis let out three streams of fire.
"Guys! I could use a little help here!" Greninja said, as he had Water Shuriken in his hands, and was in a melee fight with Iron Thorns, with Iron Thorns arms on fire.
"I got your back Greninja. Strength!" Stufful said, as she moved up to Iron Thorns' tail, and grabbed it, and tossed Iron Thorns away. "Thanks Stufful." Greninja said to Stufful, as they got back to running.
With Bow, a massive amount of rubble started to fall down towards him, and Bow did tried to shoot them with a few arrows. But they had no effect on the rubble. "Smart Strike!" Falinks said, as they jumped into the air, their horns glowing silver, smashing into the rubble, hitting it in the right spot and turning the rubble to dust.
With Catra, she once again ran into Iron Jugulis, and Iron Jugulis got ready to set Catra on fire. "Fury Swipe!" Purrloin said, as she jumped onto the back of Iron Jugulis' middle head, and scratched wildly, stopping its attack.
Then the other two heads turned and let out a stream of fire at Purrloin, only for Purrloin to jump out of the way, and lit the middle head on fire, causing him to shake his middle head wildly.
"Catra, destroy that thing before things get worse!" Purrloin said to Catra. "No way!" Catra said to Purrloin, as she ran away. "CATRA!" Purrloin said, as she went after Catra.
With Sea Hawk and Entrapta, Iron Thorns charged at them, his mouth encased in flames. "Supersonic!" Trumbeak said, as he fired a sonic pulse at Iron Thorns, that didn't do anything to him.
"Well there goes my idea." Trumbeak said to everyone, as Klink fired two metal gears at iron Thorns, making him slide back, and allowing everyone to escape.
Meanwhile Catra was able to get away from Purrloin and hid, but her spot had rubble from the ceiling
Then Scorpia moved to Catra, and used her body to protect Catra from some debris falling from the ceiling. "Catra, are you all right?" Scorpia asked Catra. "Just find the sword. I've got Adora." Catra said to Scorpia, as she left her for Adora.
"Catra, where are you! We need to smash that disc!" Purrloin said, as she looked around for Catra, only to find Iron Thorns. "I wasn't looking for you. Sand Attack." Purrloin said to Iron Thorns, whipping sand into Iron Thorn's face. But this only made him growl at Purrloin.
"I made it worse didn't it?" Purrloin asked, as she stood there, and Iron Thorns got ready to fire a surge of freezing wind and snow at Purrloin.
But that's when Greninja came out of the shadows, grabbed Purrloin and sank into them again, avoiding the wind and snow.
In another part of the room, Greninja came out of the shadows. "Thanks Greninja, but we still need to find Catra and smash that disc." Purrloin said to Greninja. Greninja said nothing, but agreed with Purrloin and started to look for Catra.
In another area of the room, Chloe was carrying Entrapta, princess style, as Entrapta wrote down notes about all this on som paper, with Iron Jugulis chasing them, trying to set them on fire with three streams of fire coming from his mouths, and the only thing keeping them from burning was Klink following them while having a green bubble up.
"We need help! NOW!" Chloe said to everyone, as the bubble started to fad. "Hang on, I'm coming! Take Down!" Stufful said, as she glowed white, and rammed into Iron Jugulis' chest, sending him flying off into the distance. "Thanks Stufful!" Chloe said to Stufful, as she kept running, leaving Stufful to shake off the draw back by herself.
With Sea Hawk and Trumbeak, they were hiding, as Iron Hands stomped around them
"Trumbeak I have a plan. I need you to use Drill Peck from the front while I attack from the back. With that we'll win." Sea Hawk said to Trumbeak. "Sure, give me the hard part." Trumbeak said to Sea Hawk, as winds spun around his beck, and he charged at Iron Hands, while Sea Hawk moved to the back.
But Iron Hands saw them coming and used his fist to slap Sea Hawk and Trumbeak away with ease, and heading towards some sharp pieces of scrap.
"Reflect!" Espurr said, as he made a glass wall, making Sea Hawk and Trumbeak crash into it instead of the sharp pieces of scrap. "Thank you." Sea Hawk said to Espurr, as they slid down the glass wall.
Then Iron Hands turned to see Noah, Brionne, Charcadet, dealing with drunk Adora, and fired his orange glowing fist at them. This made Brionne and Charcadet notice first.
"Incinerate/Bubble Beam!" Charcadet and Brionne said, as Charcadet fired a ball of fire, and Brionne fired a stream of bubbles. The two attacks hit each other, and caused a burst of steam to form a cloud. The cloud blocked Iron Hands' vision, and made him miss them, and lose sight of them when the steam cleared.
That's when the fists headed for Falinks. "Counter!" Falinks said, as they slammed into the fists, and sent them flying back into Iron Hands.
Meanwhile Catra then tried to grab Adora, but was tackled by Glimmer, causing them to roll on the floor. During the roll, Glimmer was able to force the disc out of Catra's hands and away from them.
Catra then forced Glimmer off her and rushed for the disc. But Bow noticed this, and fired an arrow at it, but Catra caught the arrow and threw it back at Bow. Catra then grabbed the disc and started to run, with Glimmer right on her tail.
But that's when Greninja appeared out of the shadows with Purrloin in his hands in front of Catra. "Catra, give us that disc! Scratch!" Purrloin said as she lunged at Catra, with glowing white claws. But Catra jumped up and over Greninja and Purrloin, causing Purrloin to miss Catra and hit Glimmer instead, not that Purrloin mind that much.
Then the bugs started to break through the wall, making even more rubble fall on everyone. "Rock Smash!" Trumbeak said, as his talon glowed red, and he smashed some of the rubble before it hit anyone.
"Reflect!" Espurr said, as he made a glass wall that blocked the tiny pieces of rubble from hitting everyone.
Meanwhile, Stufful watched Catra, and noticed some large rubble falling towards her. "For Scorpia. Brutal Swing!" Stufful said, as she swatted the rubble away from Catra and trawards Entrapta and Chloe.
But before the rubble could hit them, Klink formed a green energy bubble that the rubble smashed against before turning into rubble.
"CATRA! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS GIVE US THAT DISC, SO WE CAN DESTROY IT!" Chloe yelled at Catra, as she fired a few shots at Catra, but kept missing.
But that's when Iron Jugulis sneaked up on Chloe and Entrapta, and fired a surge of red hot wind, blowing them away.
Charcadet then noticed Chloe heading for him. "This is getting ridiculous. Endure!" Charcadet said, as he glowed white and took the hit from Chloe, sliding across the floor with her.
With Iron Thorns, he was charging at Brionne and Falinks, his arms encased in fire. "Disarming Voice." Brionne said, as she fired a pink sonic pulse at Iron Thorns, with pink hearts, at Iron Thorns.
But the sonic pulse didn't have any effect on Iron Hands, and Iron Hands kept charging at them. "Smart Strike!" Falinks said, as their horns glowed silver, and they all charged at Iron Thorns, hitting him in a weak spot, and forcing him back while also stopping his attack.
Meanwhile, Scorpia was looking for the sword, but when she found it, Noah came out of nowhere and swiped the sword. "Sorry Scorpia, but this is ours." Noah said to Scorpia. "No, you don't." Scorpia said to Noah, as she lunged at him. But Noah fired a pulse into the floor, making him jump high, making Scorpia miss him and crash into some crates.
"You know what, I'm tired of this! No Retreat! No Retreat! No Retreat!" Falinks said, as they formed a triangle, making torches appear on the sides, and glowing red.
But that's when Iron Jugulis fired a Fire Blast at Falinks, causing a big explosion, and when the explosion faded, everyone noticed Falinks was knocked out, their eyes turning into swirls.
With Stufful, Iron Hands walked up to her. "Baby-Doll Eyes." Stufful quietly said, as she made her eyes big and watery. "Come on iron Hands you wouldn't want to hurt me won't you?" Stufful asked Iron Hands, giving him the Baby-Doll Eyes.
But the eyes had no effect on Iron Hands, and he got ready to smash his orange glowing fist into Stufful, but Stufful didn't move, really hoping for the eyes to work.
"Stufful, don't just stand there!" Greninja said, as he appeared from the shadows and pushed Stufful out of the way. But before Greninja could get out of the way himself, Iron Hands brought down his fists into Greninja, forcing him into the floor, knocking him out while his eyes turned into swirls.
Then Purrloin finally reached Catra. "Now I got you. Give me that disc!" Purrloin said to Catra. "No way. I need this!" Catra said to Purrloin. "Then I'm sorry about this! Sand Attack!" Purrloin said, as she swatted sand into Catra's eyes, making Catra rub her eyes.
"Perfect. Now I can destroy the-." Purrloin said, but was interrupted by Iron Hands' flaming fist coming out of nowhere, missing Catra and hitting Purrloin, sending Purrloin flying and making her eyes turn into swirls. Once Purrloin and the fist was gone, Catra finally cleaned her eyes and started to move.
With Iron Bundle, he was firing streams of freezing water at everyone. "Light Screen!" Espurr said, as she made a glass wall, blocking the freezing water.
But that's when Iron Thorns came chasring at Espurr, smashing threw the glass, and coming down and biting on Espurr with his mouth on fire. Iron Thorns tossed Espurr towards Charcadet.
"Endur-." Caharcadet said, but was interrupted by Espurr crashing into him, making both of their eyes turn into swirls.
"This is all truly wonderful. Don't you think so, Klink?" Entrapta asked Klink, looking at everything that had happened with an excited look on her face, ignoring the very tired Klink behind her. That's when a little piece of rubble came down from the ceiling and lightly tapped Klink, causing his eyes to turn into swirls and fall to the ground.
With Brionne, she was trying to run, but ended up in front of Iron Jugulis, who let out three streams of flames. "Aqua Jet!" Brionne said, as she encased herself in water, and tried to move around Iron Jugulis. But that's when one of Iron jugulis stopped one of his streams of flames, and grabbed Brionne, forcing her out of her water.
Then Iron Jugulis used his other streams of fire to send Brionne flying into Bow, making Bow and Brionne crash into a wall, with Brionne's eyes turning into swirls.
Meanwhile Sea Hawk and Trumbeak charged at Iron Thorns, screamking loudly, as winds spun around Trumbeak's beak. But Iron Thorns was unfazed by this, and punched them, with his arm on fire sending them flying back, as well as turning Trumbeak's eyes into swirls.
After Sea Hawk and Trumbeak landed near Glimmer's feet. Glimmer noticed Catra, and Catra noticed her. "Just give us the disc!" Glimmer said to Catra, as she tried to rush Catra, only for Catra to jump away making Glimmer crash into a few crates.
"Are you kidding? I've got control of Adora. I am not giving that up." Catra said to Glimmer, before Chloe ran up and tried to take the disc from Catra. "We really need to talk about your obsessions with Adora. Now give us this disc before you get us all killed!" Chloe said to Catra, as she tried to force the disc out of Catra's hands.
But that's when a bug tried to eat them, forcing them to scatter inorder not to get eaten, with Catra still holding onto the disc. Then the bug turned to Catra, making her run away, with the bug chasing after her.
While running, Catra got the attention of the Iron Pokemon. Iron Hands roared at Catra, as he fired his flaming fist at Catra. This caused Catra to jump off a crate to the side avoiding the fists, but not losing the bug.
Then as Catra ran, she ran into Iron Jugulis, who let out three streams of fire. Catra slides to the side, making the flames hit the bug and causing it to stop and roar in pain.
Catra thought she was in the clear, she took a deep breath and relaxed a little. But that relaxation lasted a second before she heard soft growling, and turned her head to see Iron Thorns, flames in the shape of fangs in his mouth.
Catra then jumped up to avoid Iron Thorn attack. But that's when Iron Bundle fired a burst of cold wind from his orb, blowing Catra into a crate. And at that time the bug came back and found Catra again.
Meanwhile Scorpia was chasing Noah, trying to get the sword from him. But while running Noah noticed Catra in danger. "Scorpia, do you really want to waste time chasing me?" Noah asked Scorpia, pointing to Catra, making Scorpia notice Catra in danger. "Catra!" Scorpia said, as she gave up on Noah and went to help Catra.
"Stufful use Strength on that bug." Scorpia said to Stufful. "I'm on it." Stufful said to Scorpia. But that's when Iron Jugulis fired a Fire Blast at Stufful, dealing major damage. "I'm not on it." Stufful said, before she passed out with her eyes turning into swirls.
Then as the bug lunged at Catra, Iron Hands fired his fist at Catra, his fist glowing orange. But Catra was fast enough to dodge the bug and the fist.
But as she almost landed on the floor, Iron Bundle fired a light blue beam, freezing the floor, and tripping up Catra.
Next Iron Thorns let out a surge of freezing wind and snow, blowing Catra into some creates, making her groan in pain, as the bug moved towards Catra again.
Then the bug tried to bite down on Catra, forcing Catra to drop the disc so she could grab the bug's teeth, and keep it from eating her. This caused the disc to land in front of Scorpia. "Scorpia, you can end this. You've got to break the disc now." Glimmer said to Scorpia, as Scorpia picked up the disc.
"Don't you dare." Catra said to Scorpia. "CATRA YOUR ABOUT TO GET EATEN BECAUSE OF THIS DISC! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS DISC! SCORPIA DESTROY THAT DISC! NOW!" Chloe yelled at Catra and Scorpia.
This confused Scorpia, because she wanted to listen to Catra, but also wanted to live. "It seems to me that caring about someone is the greatest adventure of them all." Sea Hawk said to Scorpia.
This helped Scorpia make up her mind, and the fact that the Iron Pokemon surrounded them and got ready to attack them helped make up Scorpia's mind.
"Sorry, wildcat. This is for your own good." Scorpia said to Catra, as she started to break the disc. "No!" Catra said, preferring to keep the disc to control Adora, rather than saving herself from being eaten.
Then Scorpia ripped it in two, letting out a red pulse. This pulse turned the bugs and the Iron Pokemon back to normal, and while the Bug left in peace, dropping Catra, the Iron Pokemon shook their heads as their colors turned back to normal. And Adora passed out.
Then Scorpia dropped the pieces of the disc, and Entrapta moved to look at it. "Good news. I think I can fix it." Entrapta said to everyone, lowering her face to pieces of the disc, completely forgetting what just happened.
But that's when Chloe came up and started to stomp on the pieces of the disc, aggressively and fast for a few seconds, making the two pieces into smaller pieces.
Chloe then ran away and came back with a large broken pipe, and slammed into the pieces of the disc, making the smaller pieces turn into tiny pieces.
Chloe then tossed the pipe away and ran away. Then Chloe came back with a rocket launcher, and aimed it at the pieces of the disc. This made everyone jump back and steam a little in surprise.
Chloe then fired the rocket at the disc, blowing it to smithering. "Sorry. Fingers slip. Also we really need to talk about how you pack. I mean why did you bring a rocket launcher and not a space heater. And why didn't we use this thing earlier?" Chloe said to Entrapta, and asked everyone, before tossing the rocket launcher away.
"You guys okay?" Chloe asked the Iron Pokemon, as the Iron Pokemon shook their heads. "Yeah, heads still ringing but I'm okay. What about you guys?" Iron Jugulis said to Chloe and asked the other Iron Pokemon.
"I'm sore. Running around like that always hurts my joints." Iron Thorns said to Iron Jugulis. "At least you can move easier than me. Do you know how hard it is for me to walk with these legs?" Iron Hands said to Iron Thorns. "Oh boo who. The big bots are upset about walking. At least you're not a glorified fire extinguisher!" Iron Bundle said to the other Iron Pokemon.
Meanwhile everyone was looking at them with an odd look on their face. "Did they… talk… normal?" Noah asked everyone. "Fasinating. The virus must have mutated with the data in the data coin when leaving, changing their AI's and giving them personality. I wonder if changing the data coins will change their personality?" Entrapta said to everyone, as she got excited by the idea.
Then Chloe took Entrapta's, Catra's, and Scorpia's Pokeballs, and pulled out her Pokeballs. "Save the experiments for later. Let's get out of here!" Chloe said to the Entrapta, as she returned the Pokemon to their Pokeballs.
"Oh. What happened?" Adora asked, as she woke up, and as Catra groaned, making them both look at each other with a serious look, but a sad look in Adora's and a mean look in Catra's.
Then before anyone could do anything, Scorpia picked up Catra and started to run, with Entrapta in the other arm, and Chloe on Scorpia's back. "Hey, put me down." Catra said to Scorpia, as she looked up to see Scorpia with a serious look, and was speechless.
Sea Hawk watches Scorpia leave, with pride on his face.
Later, the Outcast was on a ship heading for the Fright Zone, and while Catra sneezed, Entrapta was humming a happy tune. "What're you so happy about? She-Ra won. And we didn't get what we came for. The Mission was a failure. How are we going to explain this one to Hordak?" Catra asked Entrapta, as Scorpia put a blanket around her.
"Do you really count us barely surviving the mess you made as She-Ra winning? We really got to talk about your unhealthy obsession with Adora. Also you're taking the blame for all this. It was your choices that ruined the mission." Chloe said to Catra.
"And the mission was a resounding success." Entrapta said to Catra, as she left, and came back with a massive First One disc. "Ta-da! I got the First Ones tech." Entrapta said to everyone, hugging the disc.
"What? When did you even- How long have you had that?" Catra asked Entrpata, getting very annoyed. "Yeah. If that's why we came here? Then why didn't you say something sooner?!" Chloe asked Entrapta, getting very annoyed and frustrated.
"A while. But we were having so much fun with our movie nights, I didn't wanna say anything. Isn't it amazing? This puppy'll power Hordak's portal technology and then some. Hordak is gonna be so thrilled." Entrapta said to everyone, before laughing and walking away.
Then a vein popped on Chloe's head, and she held out her hands towards Entrapta, like she was going to strangle Entrapta. "We had that the whole time!? We could have avoided that whole mess!? We almost died because of movie night?!" Chloe said, sounding like she was steaming.
But then Chloe suddenly cooled down, and walked to the door at the back of the deck. "That's it! I'm going to bed! I need to sleep after all of this! DON'T SINK THE SHIP WHILE I'M SLEEPING!" Chloe said to everyone, as she opened the door, walked through it, and slammed the door behind her.
This left Scorpia and Catra alone, and Scorpia getting cold. "Hey. Thanks for getting us out." Catra said to Scorpia, surprising Scorpia a little. "Anytime." Scorpia said to Catra, before shivering again, making Catra groan. "All right, come on." Catra said to Scorpia, willing to share her blanket with her.
"Really? Yes. Oh! Thank you." Scorpia said to Catra, as she joined her in the blanket, really happy, not that Catra was. "Oh, gosh. Look at us. Just two peas in a pod. So when I brought it up before, I said board games, but it doesn't have to be. We could do anything. I'm open. Like bowling. It's difficult for me with my claws, but…" Scorpio said to Catra, as Catra knew this would be a long and annoying boat ride back to the Fright Zone.
