The tracker pad still continued to show static as Bow made another attempt to communicate with the Rebellion.
Adora paced as Catra sat by the captain's chair, Nova leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, head bowed and ears drooped.
...
"Anything yet?" The blonde asked Bow.
"Adora, I'm trying, but no one's answering. They're... gone," He glanced over at her.
Nova sighed and headed out of the control room while everyone's attention was pulled to the console, Entrapta pulling up a schematic.
"Uh, oh... I think I found the blockade Perfuma was talking about..."
...
The screen showed the planet of Etheria, surrounded by dozens upon dozens of ships.
"That's a lot of Horde ships..." Bow was mortified, eyes wide.
"How are we going to get through that?" Glimmer approached, looking up at the screen, "If I could use magic, I'd teleport us past it."
"I've never felt such a lack of magical energy in my life," She glanced down at her hands.
...
...
"WHY DOES SPACE HATE ME SO MUCH!?" She threw her hands up, irritated.
...
"Our friends need us. Magic or no magic, we're--"
All of a sudden, what sounded like a rage-filled shout echoed in the halls, followed by loud thudding.
Entrapta's alarm went off, and Catra's eyes grew wide.
...
...
"Nova? Where'd she--" Adora glanced around, both confused and worried.
The alarm was still going off, and no one knew what to do. But Catra...
She bolted through the door and rushed through the length of the ship, trying to listen closely to any sounds that were made.
The feline skidded to a halt, panting as she stood in the dim hallway.
...
After a few moments, she heard another yell. She recognized the voice immediately, knowing full well that it was Nova.
This was followed by yet another few thuds. This time, she was able to make it out better. It sounded metallic, whatever was hitting the floor.
"Nova!?" Catra sprinted down the corridor.
...
...
As she turned the corner, she could hear the noises as they were much closer now.
Is she in the cargo bay...!?
How'd she get there that fast?
...
She rushed down and the door opened on its own as she made it there, just in the doorway. In the dark of the area, she could see the outline of Nova.
The wolf was hunched over, a hand on the wall where her claws were digging into the metal, the other hand covering her face.
Her breathing was heavy and low.
There were a few crates that were knocked over and scattered around, some of them torn at the sides with large gashes in them.
