Chapter 1: New revelations
Chapter Text
Today was going to be a great day...Why? Because bow's best friend glimmer was going to be married to Alex Waver the legendary guardian of lighting. Glimmer asked him to be the flower boy many had thought it was out of pity for the lonely archer in fact many looked down on him for not having any royal lineage. Once glimmer found out she made it her mission to not let bow find out she was successful until today...
Bow walked down the corridor looking at a locket he was given when he overheard.
"I can't believe they let a commoner in" A royale stated.
"Yeah, and to top it off he is friends with the princesses of power," another said while the others began laughing.
"I wonder why a commoner is even allowed here?"
"Probably as a slave."
"Agreed."
Many royales began laughing while Bow was shocked that this was what they thought he was risking his life every day for their freedom, and they thought he was below them Bow walked off not noticing a certain cat friend was watching.
"Heya Catra," Adora said while smiling spooking her girlfriend.
"Ah!!! Jezz Adora, you almost gave me a heart attack" Catra stated while her hair stood up.
"Watcha doing?" Adora asked noticing Catra had dug into one of the walls.
"Apparently the royales think Arrowhead is just a slave."
"Really bow is more than that."
"Say you know anything about arrowhead?"
"No, he stays enclosed in his room and when he is not there is training to improve his skills."
"Where?"
"3rd door to the left"
"Thanks," Catra said before giving Adora a kiss and racing to the training room... What she saw was surprising it was Bow but she had a more feminine appearance and was dancing. For some odd reason, she couldn't help but watch bow was dancing with so many negative emotions stored up.
"Bow?" Catra asked startling the archer who stopped and looked at Catra.
"Yeah?" Bow asked sheepishly.
"You know the wedding is in 5 minutes, right?"
"Shit, I forgot. See you Kat" Bow said as she rushed off.
"She called me Kat!!!"Catra whispered remembering only one person ever called her that.
During the wedding, Bow kept her long hair with blue and red streaks in a bun while watching glimmer be escorted down the walkway with Alex holding his mighty axe Destructo waiting for her.
"Alrighty Ladies, Gentlemen, mystical creatures, and commoner" The priest started saying the last part looking at Bow who knew it "I Priest John am here to identify this wedding of Princess Glimmer and The Guardian of Lighting Alex if any objections are to not allow wedding start now. None? Then I pronounce you husband and wi-"
Before the priest could finish his sentence one of the walls was destroyed and many horde soldiers were ready to attack leading them was Shadow weaver.
"Find the Flame Princess!!!" Shadow Weaver screamed as she began attacking the guests.
"For the honor of Greyskull!!!" Adora screamed as she transformed into, She-Ra and rushed to attack Shadow weaver.
"Party Time" Bow said as she started fighting off horde soldiers with one of the food dishes.
"Target identified," A soldier said pointing to Bow.
"What are you waiting for capture the archer!!!" Shadow Weaver screamed while holding Adora, Catra, and Glimmer back.
"Destruco to me" Alex screamed as his axe appeared covered in lighting.
"Take the guardian down then capture the target," one of the soldiers said while firing his blaster at Alex who blocked it with ease due to the axe's strength.
"Pathetic," Alex said as he threw his axe just as he was pulling it back a blast knocked him to the ground disconnecting his control over the axe.
"First we destroy one of the major rebellion's homes then we destroy the guardian this day keeps getting better and better," a guard said as he readied to kill Alex when an arrow was shot and jammed the blaster exploding the soldier instead.
"Need help?" Bow said sarcastically as she held a hand to Alex.
"I don't need help from a commoner," Alex said rudely as he swatted Bow's hand away.
"Why do people keep thinking I am below them?" Bow asked.
"Because you are," Alex said as his axe returned "Now leave this to the professionals" Jumping away to fight.
"Tough luck huh?" a soldier who snuck behind Bow with a taser said before stunning her "We got the target!!!"
"Fall back!!! Retreat!!!" Shadow Weaver screamed as the soldiers did as told to.
"Oh no you don't" Catra screamed as she threw something in shadow weaver's eyes.
"Ahhhh!!!!Who cares we got what we needed" She stated pointing to bow.
"Bow!!!" Glimmer screamed as she tried to rescue her friend.
"Goodbye rebels," Shadow Weaver said taunting them.
"Catra...We just lost bow"Adora said enraged that she couldn't save him.
"I know Adora," Catra said while looking at the destroyed alter and seeing Bow's destroyed bow and quiver.
"Adora...Catra...Help me save Bow" Glimmer said with determination in her eyes...
Chapter 2: Welcome to hell
Summary:
Bow sees first hand how the horde entriagtes and breaks their prisoners
Chapter Text
“W-where am I?” Bow asked as she woke up finding out she was chained to a chair.
The doors opened slowly revealing shadow weaver and horde prime carrying notepads and pens while observing Bow.
"Hello test subject 3-2-5-7,” Shadow weaver said while looking at bow like she was a predator.
"What do you want?” Bow asked as she began applying pressure to her hand hoping to break it and escape.
"Don’t try these chains are specifically designed for you princess of fire” Horde Prime stated while pulling a needle out of his pocket.
"Tell us where are the final pieces of the day breaker project and we will let your torture be quick” Shadow weaver said.
"…” was Bow’s reply.
"Talk.”
“…”
"I said Talk!!!” Shadow Weaver screamed as black lightning was seeping through her gloves.
"Stop Weaver we need her alive but if she isn’t talking willingly, we will have to force her” Horde Prime said as he injected the syringe into Bow’s arm.
“So, what do you want me to do?” Shadow Weaver asked horde prime who had just pulled the needle out of her arm.
"Break her. Then corrupt her we could use a princess of power working for us” Horde prime said with a grin while he walked out of the room.
3 Hour later
Bow woke up finding herself dangling in a room with her hand chained together.
"Where am I now,” Bow asked while trying to break the chains.
"Hello, princess of fire,” Scorpina said while holding a bat.
"Aww Great a ‘superior’ general for little old me?” Bow asked sarcastically.
“Very funny archer you and I are going to have some fun,” Scorpina said while smashing the bat into Bow’s stomach causing the archer to cough up some blood.
"That doesn’t hurt,” Bow said while struggling not to cough any more blood.
“Delicious” Scorpina said as she tasted some of the blood.
"Hehe Scorpina has a blood kink Scorpina has a blood kink,” Bow said tauntingly.
"Shut up!!!” Scorpina screamed as she smashed her bat into Bow’s skull.
"Scorpina stand down I will deal with her” Shadow weaver said menacingly.
"The shock time?” Scorpina asked.
"Yes,” Shadow weaver said as black lightning seeped through her fist.
"Shit” was all Bow said.
Chapter 3: The crackhead thinks
Chapter Text
I am remaking this shit after I reread and realized I mess up big time so instead of it happening near the end of the show it happens during princess ball or prom whatever that episode was.
Chapter 4: Princess Prom
Chapter Text
Bow's POV
It was a peaceful Saturday...err if you can call having to break up a fight two times instead of four times a peaceful morning. Oh yeah, I also had to find where Glimmer hid my flash arrows if not set on safety mode they will go off at any form of contact. My thoughts were interrupted due to someone screaming something about a ball and Glimmer busting through my door.
"We are going to the PRINCESS PROM!!!" She screamed obliviously excited. I mean who wouldn't want to go to a ball specifically for princess unless you're the princess of fire, an element that was so unstable that we needed to make weapons against us?
"What time is it?" I asked, still hoping I didn't get an invitation.
"Sorry but I only have one plus one and I already asked Adora" Glimmer said, sounding disappointed.
"It is okay I am fine staying home," I said while in my mind I was happy that I didn't have to go.
"I am pretty sure you wouldn't mind staying home after all you don't have to be Adoooora" Glimmer said teasingly while grabbing my tail causing my shriek.
"You...don't...grab...the...tail..." I hissed while Glimmer began backing away slowly.
"ADORA!!!" Glimmer screamed while running away.
My god, I thought while rubbing my head my thoughts were interrupted by a phone call.
"Yello?" I asked still looking at my tail showing hand marks on it.
"Hey, Arrowette! Sorry I mean Bow it is me Perfuma can you be my plus one to the princess prom?" The flower princess Perfuma asked.
"Sure, what time do you want me to leave?" I asked her while looking for something to wear tonight.
"Ummm how about 4?"
"Deal!!! Do I have to wear a dress?" I asked.
"No"
"Okay thanks bye"
"Toddles" She replied before hanging up.
Yay, my day off is ruined oh well better get ready I thought as I slowly got up to get dressed.
Catra's POV
*Knock!!!Knock!!!Knock!!!* Was the first thing I heard after being woken up from my afternoon nap.
"Ugggggh come in Scorpia!!!" I yelled drowsily, covering my head with my pillow. The door slowly opened creaking every time and I flattened my ears.
"Hey Catra, sorry for interrupting your nap but I got some good news!" Scorpia said, sounding extremely excited. My tail flicked up "What good news do you have?"
"Guess" She teased.
"I am terrible a guessing games." I reminded her.
"Come on at least try" She begged.
"Uhhhhh... A mouse?" I asked now thinking about food.
"No here." She said handing me a sparkly paper.
"It is overly sparkly meaning it is from the princesses, right?" I asked trying to not get any sparkles on my bed.
"Correct read it," she said bossily.
"All princess ball... ALL PRINCESS BALL!!! HOW DID YOU GET YOUR CLAWS ON THIS!!!" I screamed not noticing my fur was standing up.
"Well because I am a princess..." Scorpia said nonchalantly.
"Of?"
"The horde well this is my family's land and when the horde arrived, they asked to borrow our land so we let them use it as long as non of the wildlife was affected,"
Scorpia said looking out my window.
"Let me guess you are going?"
"Nope nobody really liked my family before the horde."
"Oh sorry," I said feeling pity for the poor soul.
"You know it is odd there was also another royal family that the princesses didn't like" Scorpia states.
"Who," I asked wondering what the princess could be the power of.
"The princess of fire apparently she was so unstable that there were limiters and weapons to take her down."
"Wow"
"Hey, why don't you go."
"Why me!!!" I asked confused.
"Two people Arrowhead and Adora," Scorpia said knowing I wanted a rematch against Arrow.
"Deal"
"Great the Super Pals are going to prom" Scorpia hugged me.
3rd person POV
A montage ensures with Glimmer helping Bow find something to wear to the prom while Catra tried helping Scorpia find a dress.
The first one Bow choose was a red dress with blue streaks that Glimmer gave a thumbs down to.
Scorpia came out with a very lacy and colorful dress Catra looked at it very confused.
The second dress Bow chose was a Jeanlike dress that was given the bucket of paint.
Scorpia came out with a plant-like dress that looked like it would fall apart making Catra give her the 'Nope' look.
Finally, Scorpia came out with a jet-black dress with one sleeve that ripped going up her shoulder. Along with her black and red earrings and ruby red belt.
Bow had found a suit/dress it had grey jeans, a blue button-down shirt, and a black tie that suited his red beanie he never takes off.
"Please let me touch them" Glimmer begged.
"Nope, not this time not after what you did it took 4 weeks to get them adjusted to hearing again," Bow said holding onto the beanie.
"Off to prom" Scorpia screamed.
——🥶🥶Kingdom of Snow🥶🥶————
Catra's POV
I can't believe how many people are here. There are just so many princesses. I was just thinking it would be something minor, but hell no God had to prove me wrong.
I felt my flight or fight response activate my gut telling me to fight but my brain telling me to run, but I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to take Adora down, so I tagged along.
Scorpia had held my arm the entire time smiling happily that she could finally do this... To be honest I felt bad for the Big Girl. Then I saw her...the person I wanted to take down.
"What is the horde doing here?" Adora screamed while holding her sword.
"We are just here to enjoy the party," I replied, bracing myself for a fight.
"First a prom now bringing in two of the hordes' top generals" Sparkly Brat screamed as she rushed into an attack.
"Bring it bitch" I screamed as I jumped to Adora.
"You and me Catra," She replied as she jumped.
"ENOUGH!!!" a scream could be heard as ice covered Me, Scorpia, Adora, and Sparkly Brat.
"Who dares?" I questioned as a saw Arrowhead walked from the party with one arm covered in ice and one eye had a snowflake-like pupil.
"You two just stop for this one night please," Arrowhead said as he lifted his hand and the ice began receding.
"Bow what are you doing?" Adora asked.
"Doing what she told me to do" Arrowhead said he walked away and the Ice princess Frosta walked past him.
"Revered hostesses, these are Horde generals," Adora said while bowing.
"Revered hostess we are horde generals, yes but we did not come to fight princess Scorpia was invited and I am her plus one," I said smugly while bowing.
"No violence now place all swords and any other weapons here," Frosta said while showing an ice box.
I and Adora placed all our weapons in the box as we walked in. I finally saw what Arrowhead was wearing and was surprised to see him in a dress.
————— 10 minutes later —————
After getting in I placed a couple of heaters near the corners of the palace, almost getting caught by a Arrowhead. Once it was all set, I grabbed a cup of some sort of tea, and from what I could smell.
Hmmm.
Mint snow leafs
And some lemon?
Once I finished drinking the tea, I walked up the stairs and saw an ice railing at had a wide view outside the palace.
Finally,
Away from all these people.
Thank horde.
My train of thought was interrupted by Arrowhead walking to the balcony not noticing me and opening his hand inside something shiny.
"I know you are watching, you can stop," Arrowhead said while small tears dropped from his face.
"How did you know?"
"I have a great hearing... I also know that you set heaters nearby" Arrowhead said, shocking me.
"What!!! Are you gonna tell anybody?"
"No"
"Why?"
"Because why would they believe it?"
"Yo Catra it is ready" I hear Scorpia whisper in my com.
"Yeah, sorry Arrow," I say as I shocked him unconscious.
"For wh-" Arrow begins asking before falling unconscious.
"Begin," I say as I lift arrowhead up.
"What is happening?" Adora screamed.
"Hello," I say so innocently.
"Catra what are you doing?" Adora asks me.
"Easy taking you princesses down a peg also thanks for the prizes," I say while showing the unconscious Arrowhead and her sword.
"Bow!!!" Adora screams before a platoon of horde soldiers arrives.
"I think I will take my leave now," I say teasingly as I and Scorpia begin to leave hearing the conflict.
Bow's POV
I can't believe I got looped into this first Glimmer made me wear a dress now I am seeing the two idiots of the group fighting with princess Scorpia.
"Excuse me Rebellion Scout Bow can you tell your teammates to act more civilized they are scaring the other guest," Princess Frosta asked as I looked around to see many guests looking at them in disgust.
"Yeah sure" I replied as I touch the ground and my arm began changing into an ice arm.
"That is interesting," Frosta said.
"Enough!!!" I screamed while I touched the ground and ice covered the party guest.
"Who dares?!?" I hear Catra scream while struggling to break the ice.
"I do. Will you please just not fight just for this night?" I asked already knowing the answer while I started making the recede.
"Bow what on equaria are you doing?" Adora asked me.
"Doing what she asked me to do" I said while walking back to the party, noticing Frosta walking toward the group.
~~~~~~~~~~5 minutes later~~~~~~~~~~~~
After talking to the guests, I began getting hungry, so I made myself a plate from the all-you-can-eat buffet table. Once my plate was made I walked to the second floor to get away from all the people.
"Heya," A girl with purple pigtails hair said while holding what looked like a robot bat.
"Hey, I am Bo-... Arrowette" I said before taking a bite of a chicken leg.
"Hi, I am Entrapta princess of tech," the girl said.
"Cool, I have heard of you... it is an honor to meet you princess of tech" I said impressed that the princess of tech was here she didn't usually come to gatherings like this.
"Same Princess of fire," Entrapta said so calmly while I was choking on my food.
"Say that again?" I asked hoping I just misheard her.
"You are the princess of fire are you not?" She asked me with one of her eyes glaring into my soul.
"Yeah, I am just how did you know," I asked since nobody except Glimmer and Perfuma knew I was the princess of fire.
"I am not only the princess of tech but master detective of equaria," Entrapta said I could've sworn that I saw a small smile forming.
"Okay so are you the world's greatest?" I asked.
"Yeah, I a... Hey, get back here!!!" She screamed as she rushed off to get her bat that began flying on its own.
Okay, that was odd. After I finished, I decided to take a look out from the balcony. Once I got outside, I pulled out a locket with a burnt photo of me and two other
people I can't remember. Before I could lose myself in thoughts I smelt something familiar.
"I know you are watching, you can stop," I said, not taking my eyes off the locket.
"How did you know?" Catra asked.
"I have a great sense of hearing," I said trying to remember who those people were.
"Why are you here?" Catra asked.
"I don't like water," I said coldly.
"Okay wait what water?" I could hear the fear in Catra's voice.
"The water that will be made once the heaters you set up activate."
"How did you know?" I heard her scream.
"Pretty obvious it was getting hotter than usual."
"You gonna tell anybody?" She asked.
"No"
"Why?"
"Nobody would believe a lone archer who has a past like mine," I said, trying not to remember it.
"Yeah sorry, Arrow" I hear Catra say as I feel something pierce my spine.
"For wh-"I begin asking before I feel a jolt of lightning surge through my body causing it to collapse. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was landing on something soft which I assumed was a pillow.
Chapter 5: No princess left behind Part 1
Chapter Text
Bow's POV
Pitch darkness was the first thing I noticed when I woke up as I slowly got up I felt a sharp pain piercing my back.
"Ugggg my back" I complained, feeling two deep marks on my back.
"Well looks like you are awake" I heard Catra's voice though I couldn't Identify where she was, I knew she was near.
"Where am I?" I questioned.
"You are in the main horde interrogation facility" a child-like voice answered.
"You can either talk willingly or forcefully," Catra said threateningly.
"Real funny," I said while laughing.
"What is so funny?" The child screamed.
"That you guys think that an archer would have any information worth giving up," I said stating a fact.
"You know a lot of the princesses and their wea-" Catra started before I interrupted.
"Adora and Glimmer know a lot of princesses. I only know two" I said while trying to find a way out of my cell.
"Yeah, no you aren't going anywhere," an older feminine voice said as black lightning began surging throughout the room and began shocking me.
"Ahhhhhh!!!" I screamed as I fell to the ground.
"SHADOW WEAVER ENOUGH!!!" A loud gruff voice screamed as the electricity stopped flowing.
"L-l-lord Hordak what are you doing here?" Shadow Weaver questioned.
"I came to talk to the prisoner, but I am shocked seeing you tried killing one of the best soldiers in the rebellion," Hordak said as my cell began fading away.
"Ump" I struggled to not scream as I fell on the sharp ground.
"Pick him up," Hordak said as a group of horde soldiers rushed and tried to neutralize me.
"Heh, Funny you think you can take me down," I said as my arm began forming a rocky armor.
"That is what I was talking about lord Hordak," Catra said.
"Interesting," Hordak said.
"Stop him!!!" One guard screamed as she fired a cannon at me.
"Sorry but I am not ready to be killed yet," I said as I manifested a shield taking the brunt of the explosion.
"Barely a scratch" the guard screamed as she backed away.
"Heh my turn" I screamed as my arm began forming a cannon firing piping-hot rocks.
"Titans come on!!!" One of the guards screamed as multiple golems rushed at me.
"SHADOW WEAVER!!!" Hordak screamed as black liquid began covering me.
"No" I screamed as I tried to copy the element, but nothing was happening.
"So, he seems to only be able to copy solids," Hordak said.
Catra's POV
I was sitting eating a mouse while Shadow Weaver and new rookie double trouble were watching Arrowhead every so often, I would see small bursts of flames escape his mouth, but I just pushed them off as me just imagining things.
"He is waking up!!!" Double trouble screamed as I looked, seeing arrowhead rub his back.
"Where am I?" I heard arrowhead ask to himself while he looked around the room.
"You are in the main horde interrogation facility" double trouble screamed into the microphone.
"You can either talk willingly or forcefully," I said threateningly while cleaning my claws.
"Catra, we need the archer alive and willing to talk!!!" Shadow Weaver screamed scolding me.
"Real funny" Arrowhead said while laughing which was pissing me off.
"You know a lot of the princesses and their wea-" I started before I was interrupted.
"Adora and Glimmer know a lot of princesses. I only know two" Arrowhead said while trying to find a way out of the cell.
"Yeah, no you aren't going anywhere," Shadow weaver said as black lightning began surging throughout the room and began shocking the archer.
"Stop, you will kill him!!!" I screamed.
"No, he will live as long as he has the willpower to withstand," Shadow weaver said as a small smile was forming.
"SHADOW WEAVER THAT IS ENOUGH!!!" I heard Hordak scream as he fired a bolt of lightning at Shadow Weaver.
"Prime lord Hordak," I said while bowing.
"L-l-lord Hordak what are you doing here?" Shadow Weaver stuttered.
"I came to talk to the prisoner, but I am shocked seeing you tried killing one of the best soldiers in the rebellion," Hordak said as I noticed that Arrowhead's cell was fading away.
"Umppp," Arrowhead said as he fell on the sharp-bladed ground.
"Pick him up and move him to sector 6," Hordak said as a group of horde soldiers rushed and tried to pick up the archer when I saw a smile form over his face.
"Sir stand back," I said ready to take him down before Hordak's hand was right in front of me.
"This might show us what type of fish we have caught," he said as he pulled out a blue visor.
"Heh, Funny you think you can take me down," Arrowhead said as his left arm began forming a rocky armor and his eyes' pupil was forming something that looked like a rock.
"That is what I was talking about lord Hordak," I said.
"Interesting," Hordak said.
"Stop him!!!" One guard screamed as she fired a cannon at the archer.
"Oh, she killed him...pity," Shadow weaver said with little to no sympathy.
"Sorry but I am not ready to be killed yet," Arrowhead said as he manifested a shield taking the brunt of the explosion.
"Barely a scratch" the guard screamed as she backed away.
"How!?!" Shadow Weaver screamed.
"Heh, my turn" Archer screamed as his arm began forming a cannon that began firing piping-hot rocks at the guards.
"So not only a great archer but a skilled element manipulation," Hordak said, sounding impressed one of the only times I ever heard his solemn voice change to a surprised one.
"Titans come on!!!" One of the guards screamed as multiple golems rushed at the archer.
"He is done," Shadow Weaver said.
"Don't count him out" double trouble said while pointing at two of the destroyed golems and Arrowhead standing holding one of the arms and throwing it at the group.
"SHADOW WEAVER!!!" Hordak screamed as black liquid began covering the arm and the archer pulling both things down to the ground.
"Hey, look he is struggling" Double trouble screamed while throwing punches in the air.
"He looks like he can't absorb liquids" I started seeing how he kept trying to grab onto the liquid.
"So, he seems to only be able to copy solids," Hordak said as he picked up the archer and brought him to cell sector 79.
"Go to bed now" Shadow Weaver screamed while I and double trouble rushed out of there.
Adora's POV
I sat there watching Glimmer argue with her mother as I thought about what I could've done to stop Bow and the sword from getting taken. My train of thought was interrupted when I saw the door open 3 princesses walked in 2 I instantly recognized a princess of plants Perfuma and the princess of wind Nestuma.
"Adora, I am so sorry about what happened at the ball," Perfuma said as she hugged me.
"Sup dork," Nestua said while giving me a high five.
"Hi, I am Adora," I said to the 3rd princess.
"Hi, I am Entrapta, a friend of arrow-" the princess said before she was grabbed by Perfuma and dragged away.
"Odd hey Glimmer," I said as I saw Glimmer rush past me.
"Head to the hanger fast!!!" She screamed as I and the other princesses chased her.
"What is going on?" I asked as I jumped into one of the jump jets.
"Well, we are going to rescue Bow," Glimmer said as she placed the jump jet in the ignition.
"Glimmer!!!" Glimmer's Mom screamed as she rushed to get her daughter.
"You stole from the queen!!!" Adora screamed remembering the last time someone stole from the queen.
"Yeah, she will be mad but by the time we get home, she would've calmed down" Glimmer assured as the jump jet flew out the hanger.
Alright, Bow we are coming to save you.
