...

...

Glimmer would teleport everyone to a certain section of the woods, cheering and whooping as her magic returned.

Catra collapsed to her knees, and Nova immediately went to help her, her hands on Catra's shoulders as the feline sat back up.

"Oh! I missed this!"

"Really? Cause' I can stand to never do it again..." Catra's voice was strained.

...

Wrong Hordak lifted his hand in the air, looking up at the sun, "This place is a true blessing."

"What is this tingling sensation?"

"That's warmth, buddy," Bow put a hand on his shoulder as the others looked around.

"Welcome to a living planet."

...

...

Adora was crouched down just ahead, peering through some of the overgrowth on the trees. Her expression looked dire, worried.

"Hey, I think you guys should take a look at this."

Glimmer walked on over as Catra still held at her stomach, feeling sick from the sudden teleportation.

She peered through the overgrowth and gasped upon seeing what had transpired. There were tents that were shredded into pieces, cloth dispersed everywhere.

There were crates that were knocked over, helmets left behind.

...

...

"No..."

"Where is everyone?" Glimmer's voice was low.

...

"There was a fight," Adora nodded.

Entrapta would make her way through, "Makes sense. Perfuma said the Rebellion was compromised. If someone in camp got chipped and went after the rest, it would have been chaos!" She threw her hands up momentarily before continuing on into the camp.

...

...

As the others ran in, Nova saw the devastation ahead of her, and gasped.

It reminded her of all those times she aided the Horde in destroying countless villages, hurting people.

I was one of them... back then...

Her ears drooped, her fur standing on end.

...

Then, for a moment, she was sure she heard something. A voice.

"Welcome back... Nova..."

She snapped her head around, paranoid. In that moment in time, she was so sure she had heard something.

...

"Adora, what if--what if there's no one left?" Bow didn't seem very hopeful, the blonde having picked up one of the helmets.

"We don't know that. They might have just moved camp. Wherever they are, we need to find them."

"Maybe they went back to Bright Moon," Glimmer suggested, "Or maybe my dad took them to hide out in Mystacor?"

Catra stopped peeking into one of the tents, overhearing Glimmer, "We can't just traipse into your old hangouts and play nice with your pals."

"We don't know who's chipped."
