Static hums over the communication line as Bow and Glimmer attempt to contact the Princess Alliance.

Adora paces while Catra sits next to me nearby the captain's chair and Wrong Hordak looks on.

Entrapta stares at Darla's interface, trying to gain communication.

Adora looks to Bow and Glimmer, "Anything yet?"

"Adora, I'm trying, but no one's answering. They're...gone." Bow answers.

"Don't say it like that." I spoke.

Darla's interface beeps and Entrapta says,
"Uh-oh. I think I found the blockade Perfuma was talking about."

We all look to the Interface where Horde ships surround Etheria.

Bow nervously breaks the silence, "That's a lot of Horde ships."

"How are we going to get through that? If I could use magic, I'd teleport us past it. I've never felt such a lack of magical energy in my life."

"Why does space hate me so much?!"

"Magic or no magic, we're going home." Adora adds determined.

"So, your plan is to, what, ram through an armada of ships?" Catra spoke up.

"No!" Adora slightly pauses.

"...Maybe! We have to try."

Catra stands up to confront ADORE.

"You heard Perfuma! They're waiting for us. They're going to catch us. And if they do..."

She slightly pauses as her hands shake and her tone becomes less confrontational.

"...Take it from someone who's defeated you guys, like, a lot. Charging in without a plan won't work." Catra walks to the front panel.

"Okay, well,"

Adora scoffs.

"you didn't defeat us."

She catches up to us and shoulders Catra with a pout.

"Adora, Catra's right." Bow pauses as the rest of us look shocked.

"A rebellion member saying our enemy is right? Oh my God, Bow. How could you?" I sarcastically raply.

"It did feel weird to say, but we barely made it out last time we tangled with Prime. We need to figure out another way to help our friends."

The archer turns to the magicat,
"Catra, you were with him. Does he have any kind of, I don't know, weakness?"

"What, you think he'd tell me?"

Wrong Hordak suddenly stands over Catra's shoulder and happily says,
"You are correct, brother."

We scream and turn in shock only to see him smiling.

"We do not discuss Horde Prime's weakness."

Adora let's out a slight chuckle,
"Uh-huh, so that means, Horde Prime does have a weakness."

Wrong Hordak's head tilts to the side hesitantly.

"No. Horde Prime is all-powerful."

His eye twitches as he looks at us all standing unimpressed.

"You just said--" I get cut off by the clone.

"We do not discuss Horde Prime's weakness. We do not discuss Krytis."

Glimmer looks at us and asks,
"What's Krytis?"

Catra has a look of realization and Wrong Hordak's dialogue gets muddled with a deep bass whoosh as she grimaces as she touches the back of her neck.
