Adora smiles, then turns to look at the sky. They just got the crystals to power the ship.
Glimmer comes in, "Adora? Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I just--look, I know this is gonna sound crazy and dangerous, and I know Catra was our enemy and she's done a lot of bad things and hurt a lot of people, but--"
Glimmer, "You wanna go back for her."
"Mm-hm."Adora nods.
"I can't just leave her there. I have to try."
"Catra sacrificed herself to save me. Whatever you need to do, I'm with you. I'm starting to think Silver was right. And I know she thought of this before you did. "
"Then let's do this. Best Friend Squad style." Bow embraces them.
"We're doing this, with my plan. " Silver means on the door, her arms folded.
~~
Darla's engine whirs as it speeds toward Horde Prime's flagship; Silver sits in the captain's chair as the ship rumbles against turbulence, an alarm beeps, and status messages glitch in front of her.
Darla's Interface beeps "Alert. We are being pulled in by an outside force. "
Darla is pulled in to Horde Prime's ship, where it lands with a thump; an energy barrier thrums closed behind the ship. Darla's hatch whooshes open and a ramp thuds when connected to the ground. Silver appears, arms up in surrender, and walks slowly toward the clones. She grunts as they grab her; clones walk into Darla to search the ship.
"You won't find anything; I came alone. I hear Horde Prime's been looking for Adora. I want to hear the terms and conditions. "
A Clone's pupils turn white.
"My, my. I didn't think the most powerful princess on Etheria would show up at my doorstep. Please, do come in. " The clone guides her and Prime disappears.Silver grunts when the clones holding her push her forward; they walk away, just as Entrapta, Bow, Adora and Glimmer fall out of the back of Darla, grunting when they hit the ground.
Entrapta pops up, "Spacesuit testing officially a success. All suits stood up to ship's velocity," she pulls at suit with hair, causing it to snap back elastically, "with zero loss of life."
Glimmer, "Wait, what? That was a possibility?"
Bow gets up, tapping an in-ear radio that beeps, "We're in. They didn't find us."
Silver whispering; serious, "Good. Be quick, and don't get caught."
"Be careful. " Adora says and Silver chuckled, "I never am, dummy. " Adora whimpered, "I'll come back to you, I promise. "
Glimmer breathes softly as she peers around a corner with Adora.
Glimmer presses her radio and it beeps; softly, "Okay, everyone, sound off. We're heading to Horde Prime's holding cell to get Catra."
Bow's radio beeps as he taps it; low voice, "And Entrapta and I are going to hack into the ship's server and download any intel about Prime's weak points."
Glimmer's radio beeps, "Look for a room with a lot of glowing tech in it. I remember them taking me past it when--when they took me to... That has to be the server."
Entrapta whispers, "Then that's our access point! Although, as long as we're here, you wouldn't mind if I just took a few readings--" she grunts as Bow grabs her arm before she walks away; as she's being dragged by Bow in the opposite direction, pointing with her hair, "--okay. To the server room!"
