Chapter 1: 2018 She-Ra vs 2019 Wonder Woman: Prelude

Chapter Text

Marina: Adora! The 2018 incarnation of She-Ra!

 

Pearl: Diana Prince! The 2019 incarnation of Wonder Woman!

Aqua: A powerful heroine can come from anywhere at any age. And these two princesses of power came to be incredible leaders and warriors.

Blaze: But which of these fighters will see victory? Let's analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to see who will win in…

All: THE ARENA!
-
Aqua: Long ago, the planet Etheria was a peaceful kept safe with the magical power of the princesses. But all would change when the Horde rose up in a violent attempt to take over the world. And one of these soldiers was a skilled fighter named Adora.

Pearl: Ok. Minor spoilers ahead.

Blaze: Orphaned at a young age, all Adora knew was the Horde. In her mind, the Horde was a just force hoping to quell anarchy and replace it with order. But all changed when she came across a magic sword in a forest, along with Princess Glimmer and her friend Bow.

Marina: Once she touched the sword, Adora transformed into an eight-foot tall warrior with a tiara and a cape. It was there she made an amazing discovery.

Blaze: That being a princess was contagious!

Aqua: No. That she was the latest incarnation of the legendary warrior, She-Ra.

SHE-RA

-Height: 5’6 (Adora) 8’0 (She-Ra)
-Weight: N/A
-Affiliation: Horde (Formally) Rebelion (Currently)
-Likes: Good food, friends, exploration, training, horses, Catra
-Wasn’t originally from Etheria
-Latest in the line of She-Ra’s
-The first lesbian She-Ra

Pearl: Now aware that the Horde was evil, Adora swore she would help undo the evil that she originally helped cause. And luckily, she was well equipped to do so. Not only was she an incredibly skilled warrior with a lot of training, but as She-Ra, she was nearly unstoppable.

Aqua: She has superhuman strength and speed, energy blasts, the ability to heal wounds, and a healing factor.

Blaze: She also has the ability to heal others, purge foreign bodies like poisons from others, and turn any animal she wants into an alicorn. It’s…really weird but hey. We needed to get Swift Wind in there somehow.

Pearl: Swift Wind is her loyal steed, capable of great speed, super strength, and just being a great friend when she needs one.

Aqua: But she isn’t just powerful. Her time with the Horde offered a lot of training. She’s proficient in several different weapons, is skilled in stealth, and is talented in hand to hand combat.

Blaze: Speaking of which, she possesses the Sword of Protection, a sword made by the first ones, which allows her to turn into her superhero form. This sword can change into whatever weapon she wants, absorb energy and redirect energy, can cut through metal with ease, create barriers, activate first one’s tech, and heal her just by touching it.

ABILITIES/ARSENAL

-Superhuman physicality
-Healing factor
-Energy blasts
-Transformation
-Transmutation
-Energy absorption/amplification
-Healing powers
-Skilled hand-to-hand combat skill
-Sword Of Protection

Pearl: Soon, the Horde found themselves on the ropes. With these powers, Adroa was nearly unstoppable. She led the rebellion to numerous victories against her envious ex Catra, force-captain Scorpia, and her evil mother figure Shadow Weaver.

Marina: But the more she fought, the more she wondered. Where did her power come from? Why was she the next She-Ra? Where did she come from? What happened to the first ones?

Blaze: Adora decided to go on a quest to find out. And what she found was unsettling to say the least. Spoilers ahead.

Aqua: Turns out that after a devastating attack from an evil immortal being named Horde Prime, the first one’s decided the best option was to genocide all life in the univerese. And their tool to do so was She-Ra and an artifact known as the Heart of Etheria. The previous She-Ra didn’t like this, so she teleported the entire planet that the heart was hidden into another dimension.

Blaze: But the first ones didn’t like this, so they kidnapped Adora from another dimension so there would still be another She-Ra. So after this realization and the fact Princess Glimmer tried to activate the Heart of Etheria to destroy the horde once and for all, Adora did the only thing she could. And destroy the sword of protection.

Pearl: With the sword destroyed, Etheria was saved, at the cost of its strongest protector. She-Ra was gone forever.

*beat*

Pearl: Or was she?

Aqua: As it turned out, the sword of protection wasn’t the source of She-Ra’s power, but rather a way to control her. And the real power of She-Ra was still inside her.

Marina: Adora became a true She-Ra. And with that, a plethora of powers. Not only are all her old powers amplified greatly, but she also has the ability to create portals, teleportation, purging poisons, weapon summoning, and the ability to…walk on air?

Pearl: Right. I’m gonna go to the store across the air, whatcha want?

Aqua: This might be a callback to all the time in the classic She-Ra cartoons where a lot of her powers seemed random and out of left-field.

TRUE SHE-RA

-She-Ra without the sword of protection’s control
-Amplifies all her previous abilities
-Can summon whatever weapon she desires
-Teleportation
-Portal creation
-Air-walking

Blaze: Now with a greater power, Adora set out to destroy the horde and Horde Prime once and for all. And boy can she do so.

Aqua: Adora has broken out of illusions, threw tanks like dodgeballs, shattered a weapon that could reverse planet-wide destruction, can move faster than light, turned a giant spaceship into a tree, and purged out a poison that was specifically designed to kill her.

Blaze: Not only that, but she should scale to previous She-Ra’s like Mara, who could move an entire planet to another dimension!

*Blurb: This scaling is consistent, as it’s stated that all She-Ra’s are equal in power*

Blaze: Oh? And remember that universe destroying superweapon? Adora absorbed it, allowing her even greater power, greater transmutation, and the ability to purge out souls from bodies and destroy them.

FEATS

-Threw tanks with ease
-Broke the sword of protection
-Tagged ships moving faster than light

Aqua: While her journey wasn’t easy, Adora had finally gained closure on who she truly was. And with all settled, she decided to spread the magic through the universe with her new friends.

Pearl: And in the future, she married her tsundere girlfriend and adopted a child. She can add mother to the list of incredible things Adora is.
-
Blaze: Metropolis High School. What seems like a normal high school turns out to have a surprisingly high acceptance rate for teenage super villains, such as the prematurely bald Lex Luthor, the classy Cat Woman, and the mother of all yanderes, Carol Ferris.

Pearl: But don’t you worry. The city has six superheroines to spread the word of truth, justice, and girl power. The super hero girls, consisting of Supergirl, Batgirl, Green Lantern, Bumblebee, Zatanna, and their fearless leader, Wonder Woman.

Aqua: Originally hailing from the island of Amazons, Diana snuck off the island to the land of mortals so she could save them. But turns out her lack of knowledge on modern culture ended up with her being mistaken for a foreing exchange student. Seeing that she needed lessons in social interaction, the aforementioned girls decided to teach her the lessons of being a normal teenager in exchange for her friendship.

Marina: So now, Diana lived a new life. By day, she was Diana Prince, straight A student. By night, she was Wonder Woman.

WONDER WOMAN

-Height: 6’2
-Age: 317 (17 in mortal years)
-Leader of the superhero girls
-Occupation: Princess, student, super hero
-Like: Sweets, exploration, friends, Steve Trever
-Dislike: Failure, A-minuses, undisciplined individuals, her mother being controlling
-Not the first teenaged Wonder Woman
-Member of over six school clubs

Aqua: Being over 317years old and born an Amazon, Diana is a powerhouse. She’s strong enough to break green lantern constructs and tough enough to survive beatdowns from kryptonians and giant monsters. She can survive magic fire hot enough to melt steel with no visible injury and survived having an entire building collapse on her. And if she needs to get somewhere fast in a pinch, she can fly.

Blaze: And her Amazonian heritage allows her some incredible skills. She is a master at both armed and unarmed combat, sailing, strategy, leadership, and survival skills. She was capable of surviving on her own in a treehouse in the middle of the city for months.

Pearl: Seeing that Metropolis is based off of New York City, that means the cops there usually…

*smack!*

Pearl: Ow!

Aqua: No politics.

ABILITIES

-Super strength
-Super speed
-Super durability
-Healing factor
-Animal communication
-Flight
-Intelligence
-Skilled strategist
-Survival skills
-Enhanced senses
-Armed and unarmed combat skills

Blaze: Should Diana find her needing some extra arms, she has several weapons on hand, Axes, maces, swords, shields, bows, and of course, her lasso of truth.

Aqua: Like in most incarnations, the lasso of truth can extend nearly endlessly, is practically unbreakable, and forces anyone even touching it to tell the truth. And if she needs aerial advantage but doesn’t feel like flying, she can always call for her pet griffin Steve, who she named after her crush and possibly the most boring man on the planet.

Pearl: Gotta be those blue eyes.

Marina: Questionable crushes aside, her main weakness is her perfectionism. To her, even an A minus is a sign of failure. So to prevent that, she can eat a fruit of Hermes to increase her abilities, but runs the risk of getting her addicted.

ARSENAL

-Lasso of Truth
--infinite in length
--changes size to whatever she wants
--unbreakable
--forces anyone touching it to tell the truth
-Fruit of Hermes
--enhances her speed, agility, and skill
--can be addictive
-Bracelets Of Submission

-Ax
-Bow and arrows
-Bracelets
-Steve
--her pet griffin
--capable of flight
--equal in strength to Diana
--sharp beak and claws
--loves ice cream
--named after Diana’s crush

Aqua: Now a leader of a team, Diana proved herself a competent leader in many battles. Like the time she defeated a hydra, or helped destroy a city-busting meteor. She’s fast enough to keep up with Jessica Cruz, who can fly across galaxies in a matter of minutes, and beat The Flash in a pie-eating contest.

Marina: She’s also quite tough, being able to survive being smashed into a building with enough force to bring it down, magic fire, and blows from kryptonians.

Blaze: And being head of over six different clubs and nearly 317 years old, she’s very smart. She’s smart enough to outwit catburlgars, older amazons, and even her friends. She truly is a Wonder Woman.

FEATS

-Head of over six after-school clubs
-Figured out Harley Quinn’s secret identity
-Has fought evenly with Katana
-Kept pace with people who can move massively faster than light
-Survived fire hot enough to melt steel and having a building collapse on her
-Became the leader of the superhero girls
-Got her driver’s license
-Beat The Cheetah, the hydra, Harley Quinn, Flash

Aqua: While she is still a bit naive to the modern world of man, she will never give up on her friends and justice.

Pearl: Beware the incredible power of the teenaged Wonder Woman!
