The Other Rebellion 4 - or 'How the United States of Etheria came to be' (Semi-Crackfic She-Ra, Human!SI)

So, let me ask you a valid question: what happens when you give a mad scientist girl a lot of usable land, funds, and the acceptance of peculiar cuddly requests at night?

Well, you get a very happy Entrapta.

A very happy Entrapta that pretty much surrenders her lands to proper democratic administration all the while she gets to keep her new happy place.

That being said, this does sound like I tricked her or something, but the truth is the girl just didn't want to deal with politics.

So, I gave her a way out of being used as a scapegoat for others' mistakes. And since I was the only man capable of withstanding her 'energy', I pretty much became interesting to her. Especially as it became a common habit of ours that we bounced ideas off each other.

She had a very 'mechanic' view of people, while I had a bit more of a 'humane' perception to it. And patience.

The girl was also in need of proper wrangling. I didn't put it on her - autism is a whole new thing that Etheria was dumb enough to think it little of. So, I really put my modern lens to work and managed her habits a bit more.

Stuff like scheduling her showering/bathing/pooping. She was surprisingly more into this considering that it gave her a way to time each of the activities to optimal levels, while also not shaking her usual schedule by much.

All was nice and well, especially since her land plus her skills made the USE a very big threat to the Horde. Technological advances meant zeroing the advantage that the Horde had employed for years, and with further expansion we may as well take the fight back to Hordak Prime.

Still, we had to think small... and I had to remember that there was more than local politics at play. And this became clear when the next meeting of the 'Princess Alliance' came to be.

"But you are not a princess, silly," The tech genius remarked, happily playing monkey while clinging onto my back. "So why is it called that?"

"Because most of the folks there are princesses. There's a queen there too, but they felt like the term has to stuck since a majority is princess."

"That's really dumb. Why not 'League of Nations' or 'Alliance of Good'?"

I shrugged. "Would be a liar if I offered any reason, I really never bothered asking."

Entrapta giggled, but she knew she was to behave around others and... she kind of failed on square on.

"Woah, you are so tiny!"

Princess Frosta was deeply unamused by this turn of events.

"Apty," I warned and the girl, shifting her hair so she jumped back to where I was sitting, tried to appear innocent. "Apologize."

"Sorry!"

Then she giggled.

"Apologies, she is very excitable with people."

They all shared a look but ultimately nods won over the matter.

It was Queen Angella that started this session.

"President Bukharin, you have asked for a meeting in regard to a potential initiative. I believe it regards a technological group among our nations?"

"That is correct," I started to say with a smile perking at Entrapta's intrigued look. "Recently, Entrapta, former Princess of Dryl, has joined my Republic. Her realm was quite divided and she had been isolated from controlling her domain, so she saw better fit to introduce the nation to ours as a way to remove corrupt governors and for her to gain a more open laboratory."

I stood up, walking to the screen of a projector showing a few inventions.

"After a few weeks of research, Entrapta has been able to produce some easy to re-create tools that can make it easy chores to the household, but also equipment that can safely help with the process of keeping bases well-organized."

I saw Entrapta roll her eyes as I was purposely not displaying her 'cool' stuff. In fact, this whole initiative was to do some deception. I couldn't trust all the new technology that we were making to this alliance knowing the outright pacifist mentality of the Queen. I knew she would have pushed me to shelve this at the risk of facing the entire Alliance's retaliation for a refusal.

Hence why I made sure our most dangerous tech was kept behind closed door until we were in a position to keep them, all the while making good rep by shoving simple stuff that enticed a few members already. Nothing too intense, but definitely things that could make life easier.

Microwave goes BRRR.

And with my plans to eventually take over the alliance moving along slowly but smoothly, I prepared for the next point of the meeting:

What to do about the Horde's recent display of weakness along their frontline.

Scorpia was a good officer, or at least that's how she perceived herself.

After recent defeats, she had come to think less of this being a reality. At least, that's what Catra kept on telling her. Maybe she came to her too strongly? Should she have been more polite and formal?

But then they wouldn't be friends!

Ah yes, if there is something that Scorpia had yearned to achieve was friends. Many friends.

To find that in an officer who happened to be a girl like her, very unorthodox like her, and a bit cray-cray (just like her fr) had made her hopeful but...

They kept on getting beaten by the pesky princesses!

And that wasn't all.

Scorpia could be a bit dull at times, but that didn't make her dumb. She knew a loss was a loss, especially when it kept on repeating more than twice. Hence why she found herself in a rather interesting dilemma.

What if she did something by herself to make a loss a win?

After all, their troops scrunched up some resources that could be reused. Working on a tight budget, Scorpia never understood Catra's irritation in keeping 'failures' around, when it was perhaps those that failed that could help with their success.

Maybe it was thinking too much, or too hard, or both really, but Scorpia had singled out a potential 'easy target'.

President John Bukharin of the Ethernian Republic!

After all, in war you are meant to target war leaders. And while Catra looked very interested to beat their best warrior since she is a traitor, that didn't mean they could skirt around their duty - and Scorpia felt emboldened by the fact some of her direct subordinate had, oddly so, called it her best idea yet.

So yes, here Scorpia was, plotting to go around her best friend's own plans so that they could get an actual win for once.

...

Yeah, it was perhaps for the best. After all, as her moms told her, sometimes it was best to be safe than sorry. And her plan, which she got some help from her subordinates to plot, sounded fool-proof.

If not a bit silly since it involved them walking through a little unknown spot through the enemy lines, zig-zag to where the President's friend had set up her lab and kidnap him.

It sounded silly but... working.

Which is why, just troubled by the potential shouts she was getting by Catra once she found out what Scorpia was doing, the scorpion lady got to work.

This was going to be a sneaky mission- so she had to be... extra sneaky!

AN

So yes, John is attracting 'Too Smart for her own good' and 'Too Silly to ever truly fail'.
