Note to reader: You must have the chorus from "Into the Unknown" in your head as you read this. It just hits different.

The darkness surrounding the caves was almost manipulating everyone's eyelids shut. Adora, Catra, and Kyrion are tranquil bodies breathing in beautiful harmony as they slumber peacefully knowing that despite the peace, this journey was an all-out war. You couldn't help but take in the peaceful surroundings knowing that at any moment, it could become deadly. The thundering snores from Kyrion were the only thing that terrified you at this moment.

"He snores like you Beatrix," you couldn't help but say. 

"Alright now, no need to go there," Light Spinner responded with an irritated tone.

"Are you alright sweetheart?"

"Am I alright? Are you fucking crazy? Nothing about this is okay! Adora has the failsafe, something that could kill her if she is not careful. Catra's heart is breaking just watching Adora have the failsafe knowing that she has a target on her back. Kyrion has never experienced such horrifying things in his life. You and I could be killed at any second by something in these caves if we aren't careful. Mystacor is fighting against the Horde, almost falling many years ago. Without us, they might be doomed if they aren't careful against Horde Prime's army. Brightmoon is going to be attacked viciously, and it is already preparing for a full-fledged war against the Horde. All of Etheria is in danger, and the fate of millions of creatures rests on our shoulders getting Adora to the failsafe and destroying the heart before Horde Prime gets his hands on it. I don't know sweetheart, am I alright?"

Your jaw drops to the ground. Light Spinner has never been this transparent with you before. This couldn't be good if this is the first time she's acted like this. 

"I shouldn't have asked such a loaded question, I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I know that you were only concerned about me. It's kind of you, but it's hard for me to feel alright when there is so much riding on the next moments. This could be what--"

"WHAT IS THAT?!" you exclaimed in horror as your eyes become glued to the ground that was once dark becoming black with lime green lines flowing quickly towards the heart. 

"COME ON, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!" Light Spinner yelled. 

"KIDS!" you both yelled. 

Adora, Catra, and Kyrion are no longer tranquil, but instead, their faces are filled with horror.

"What is it?" Adora asked. 

"What's going on? What is that?" Kyrion asked.

"No, it can't be. Horde Prime is trying to get to the heart," Catra explained.

"We need to get to the heart. NOW!" Light Spinner asserted. 

Everything was left behind, and everyone starts sprinting down the tunnels to the heart. However, you knew that the journey couldn't come easy. You were prepared to see some horrific-looking creature that would try to slaughter anyone who tried to get to the heart. That's what the first ones would've wanted. However, it wasn't until you turned the first corner that your expectations are reality. In front of you, an alien creature without eyes, but despite the lack of vision, the horrific creature had a large mouth lined with teeth and five skin flaps that would otherwise make it look like a beautiful flower. 

Catra lunges from behind with her sharp claws and cut the creature apart until it could no longer stand. It couldn't stand without its legs after all. "Nice job Catra!" Adora cheered, giving her a thumbs up. Catra smiled back at Adora. 

You continue to sprint towards the heart turning more corners, until, you enter a room. You immediately stop. In front of you, a projection of Horde Prime stared down at you as if you were as small as mice.
