Kyle was in a terrible mood. After just being fired from the team by Catra and being completely humiliated in front of the team, he now had to attend a ceremony for the promotion of, who else, but Catra herself. Not only had he been demoted, but he'd been demoted just before what would have been the greatest moment in his entire life with the hoard. Now, it was probably the worst moment of his life.
Aside from being demoted. That really stunk.
Now that Shadow-Weaver was no longer in the hoard, Hordak had decided he needed a new second in command. Catra filled that position perfectly. Yes, Catra: never getting the credit she deserved, always second best. Well, she was still second best, thought Kyle. Only now she's just second best after Hordak.
Kyle had no desire to go to the ceremony—there was no point now that he was no longer on the team. They weren't friends, and he didn't care if she got promoted or demoted even. But, sadly, he had to go. It was mandatory for every Hoard soldier to attend. Hordak wanted everyone to know where their loyalties would lie. He, of course, would not be there. He was far to important, even for this. Kyle had overheard Catra having a fit about it. Her big day, and he couldn't even bother himself to give her the credentials himself.
When the time came to go down to the main hall, Kyle went with great reluctance. He figured he'd stick around long enough for Catra to say her piece, and then leave. It wasn't like anybody would even knotice he was gone, anyway.
He moved to the back of the uniformed crowd and leaned against the wall near the doorway. It tuned out Illia was back from her mission, for she was standing at the head of the crowd with Catra. She addressed the gathered soldiers with a loud voice. "Today, we salute our new Empress, the former force captain who has gotten us closer to Bright-Moon than anyone else proceeding her. She has conquered countless of the rebellion troops, and princesses tremble in her wake. Everyone, this is Catra."
There was a great roar from the crowd as fists were thrown in the air to recognize her. Catra turned, and addressed the audience.
