Chapter 8: Flying Colors! Beach Day at Candila!!
Tumblr media
A few days had passed since the fiasco at Sealineas, the Squad and the Trio had needed a break from all the chaos of the past few days, and, as fate would have it, they had all passed their assignments with a flying colors, and thus, as celebration, this was a perfect occasion to have some fun at the beach. 
Mount Candila Beach
Without a single solitary cloud in the sky, the sun’s warm golden rays kissed the rose-gold sand as the waves of the cool ocean washed along the shoreline, complemented by the equally cool, gentle breeze. Iyexi, clad in a white one piece with green and purple frills, was quite observant, taking in the sights of the beach, digging a hand into the sand, the others, sans Kazari, were close behind her. 
Finn nervously gazed at the ocean’s waves as they moved back and forth. “Gods damn you, moms…” they muttered to themself, heart beating in their chest “Where are you, Kaz…”
Maila placed a hand on the magicat’s shoulder with a gentle smile, “It’s okay, Finn. We’re right here,” she said, assuringly, though it’s debatable as to how much it actually helped. 
In any case, Rose and Riley got work, setting up blankets, beach chairs and umbrellas. Maila’s mermaid strength was a godsend when it came to carrying the large cooler. As for Finn, they don’t like to interact with water more than necessary, but little did they realize, they were standing a little too close to the water, so when the waves washed under their feet, their immediate reaction was to recoil, sprinting back into camp area. Finn, dropped to their knees, clutching their chest as their heart was beating so fast, it threatened to burst from their chest, showering everyone in blood and bones. 
Archer and Iyexi were quick to run up to Finn, with Iyexi gently rubbing their back. “Finn, just keep looking at us! Okay?” she said, holding eye contact with the distressed magicat, who was now in a cold sweat, continuing to mutter, “Damn you, moms….”
Archer tapped on his chin, wracking his brain for a solution, and then, with a gasp, he placed a hand on Finn’s shoulder “How about a distraction? Did you know?” Archer began, “Apparently there was a lost runestone somewhere inside of the mountainside…”
“Oh! You mean the legend of the Fire Princess?” 
All eyes turned towards the new voice. Kazari, clad in a red and black bikini top that accentuated her figure, along with matching shorts, approached the group. Her blood-red hair flowed in the wind, catching everyone's attention.
For Finn, it felt like the Gods were throwing them a lifeline. Without hesitation, they leaped to their feet, rushing toward their fellow magicat and enveloping her in a tight embrace, as if Kazari were their salvation. Kazari, caught off guard, quickly reciprocated, teasingly saying, “Woah, there. Where’s the fire?” before breaking the hug.
“Sorry I’m late, I kinda overslept,” Kazari explained, rubbing the back of her head with a chuckle. She then noticed Finn’s tired appearance, heavy bags hung beneath their eyes like an albatross. “Damn, Finn, looks like you haven’t been getting much sleep either, huh?”
In response, Finn yawned and said, “Yeah, well, Mamadora and Momeow were bitching at each other at such ungodly hours. It doesn’t tend to bring about a good night’s rest. I had to bail and trek all the way to Juliet’s place at about 3 AM! I’M LITERALLY RUNNING ON 3 HOURS OF SLEEP!” Their frustration was evident in their raised voice.
Kazari flashed her million-dollar smile at Finn. “Welp, we’re here now. Let’s unwind and have some fun, okay?”
Finn gave a soft gentle smile and said, “Okay…”
Meanwhile at Brightmoon…
The healing magic of She-Ra could only do so much to help with a headache brought on by an all-night screaming match with Catra. After downing a tablet for good measure, Adora went into the meeting room to join Bow and Glimmer.
"Hey, Adora," Bow asked pensively, trying not to disrupt any peace. "How are you feeling?"
Adora slammed herself into a chair and said emphatically, "No!" before grabbing a piece of bread and stuffing it into her mouth, rubbing her temples. Glimmer absentmindedly summoned a Rubik's Cube's worth of nose candy, imported from the Kingdom of Snows, and sprinkled it into her tea.
"Well, Adora, you and Catra just need time to cool down. Ohren has been itching to train with you, so why don't you get ready to meet her at Liq Ollum?"
Adora perked up, suddenly remembering what she came in for. "Has anyone seen Finn?"
"Apparently, they and the others are at the beach. Quite frankly, I'd say they all earned it," said Bow, chipper as ever.
Adora slumped down in her chair.
"Well, shit...I hope Finn's going to be okay..."
Back at the beach…
Finn nursed a water bottle as they watched Kazari play volleyball. Kazari took a running start and spiked the ball as hard as she could, but an errent gust of wind knocked the ball off course, ricocheting off the side of the net and smacking Finn in the face. Kazari gasped and ran over to Finn, who was now rubbing their nose.
“Crap! Sorry, Finn. You good?!” Kazari asked, concerned.
Finn slowly recovered, telling their fellow magicat, “Yeah, I think so. Man, it’s a good thing you weren’t using your havok magic, I would’ve been fifty shades of fucked!” 
Kazari chuckled and sat down next to Finn, studying the water bottle. “At least your aversion to water doesn’t extend to staying hydrated. Speaking of which…” Kazari’s voice calmed to the gentle lull, almost like a whisper, in tandem with her accent, sounded like a mother effortlessly calming her frightened child, “What’s up of you and water?” 
Finn sat up with a somber sigh. “You’re my best friend, I guess I owe you that much. I try not to hate my moms, but they make it pretty hard, such as one instant. I was only nine years old, it was my moms’ wedding anniversary, everyone else tagged along to Space Vegas, but instead of doing the halfway sensible thing like letting me stay with Madame Razz or something,  I was dragged along.  I was in the hotel room, just vibing, but apparently that was not good enough for Mamadora and Momeow, who decided to drag us all down to the pool…”
Kazari’s eyes furrowed. “Finn, did they….?”
Finn simply nodded and said, “Yep, those bitches grabbed me and yeeted me into the deepest end of the fucking pool!”
Kazari could only let out a quiet, “Jebuss Fuck…”
Finn continued.
“As I flailed around in the water, every time I tried to escape the water, Momeow would scratch me and the others. Maila didn’t know how to use her powers, so she tried to get Mermista, but she was busy pegging Seahawk. Eventually, after nearly drowning, Spinnerella and Netossa had to come and fish me out. I was never the same…”
-----
Kazari nodded, deep in thought. "I understand... Finn, it's not your fault."
Maila's voice rang out, “Yo! Finn! Kick the ball back to us!”
Finn jumped up, their gaze fixed on the ball, and gave it a swift punt towards the group. However, they misjudged the strength behind their kick. The ball soared past the others, bouncing off the ground, and plunging into the water. The magicat's heart sank.
"Fuuuuck..." they muttered under their breath.
Kazari offered a reassuring look and placed a comforting hand on Finn's shoulder. "Don't worry, Finn. I'll take care of it."
But just as Kazari was about to step into the water, Finn reached out and placed a trembling hand on their friend's shoulder. "No, Kaz. I'm the one who kicked the ball, so I need to be the one to retrieve it," they insisted, a shiver running down their spine at the mere thought.
Kazari suggested, "How about we go in together?"
Without further discussion, the two magicats cautiously waded into the water. Finn's palms grew clammy as they stepped further into the cool depths. With a sigh, Kazari crouched down and lifted Finn onto her back, causing a deep blush to spread across Finn's face. With a single powerful leap, Kazari plunged into the ocean with a resounding splash.
Kazari's rigorous strength training paid off, as she effortlessly carried Finn while swimming. But as the two drew closer to the ball, a glimmer caught Kazari's attention in her peripheral vision. Something protruded from the sandy ocean floor. Retrieving the ball, she handed it to Finn and asked, "Finn, do you trust me? I want to try out a new move with my havoc!"
Finn nervously nodded. "I trust you, Kazari."
Kazari placed her palm on Finn's chest and channeled a surge of havoc through her arm. With a powerful burst of energy, she launched the magicat out of the water, gathering sand and seaweed in their wake before skidding onto the towels. Concerned, the others rushed over to check on them. Meanwhile, Kazari took a deep breath and dived back beneath the waves, swimming down to explore what lay beneath. With a swift pivot, Kazari planted her feet firmly on the sandy ocean floor and crouched down to examine the object protruding from the ground. It had a distinct trapezoidal shape, and its surface shimmered with a shimmering blend of iridescent green and purple hues. It was a strange crystal, roughly the size of a rubber eraser. As Kazari extended her hand towards the crystal, tiny arcs of electricity danced and flickered across its surface. Swiftly grabbing it between her index and middle fingers, Kazari propelled herself upwards, emerging from the water with a graceful leap. She leisurely made her way back to shore, using her free hand to wring out the water from her hair.
Archer and Iyexi approached Kazari, their curiosity evident as they gazed at the crystal. Meanwhile, Maila gasped in awe and exclaimed, "Holy shit! I've read about that! Unless I'm mistaken, that's a havok crystal. It's rumored to possess the ability to channel havok magic!"
Kazari's interest was instantly piqued. "Is that so? Hey, aren't we working on an art project soon?"
Finn nodded silently, and a spark of inspiration ignited within Kazari's mind.
"Interesting!"
Later that night...
Kazari retrieved a notebook and eagerly examined the crystal, analyzing its intricate details. With a focused determination, she began sketching and meticulously jotting down notes, immersing herself in the depths of her creativity.
But then, an unexpected interruption shattered her concentration.
"Huh?!" Kazari's eyes widened in surprise as she noticed the return of that strange distortion in the corner of her dorm room. Reacting swiftly, she leaped out of her seat, her heart pounding in her chest. The distorted blob began to take on a peculiar shape, but just as quickly as it had appeared, it vanished into thin air.
"Note to self, talk to Master Micah!"

Chapter 7-The New Best Friend Squad Arc Part 3- Sea-Worthy Smash
Sealinies
Surrounded by Kazari, Finn, Iyexi and Archer, Maila faced her mom, the majestic Mermista. Exhaustion veiled Mermista's features. Being a mom was a hard job, especially when one of your kids was a manchild named Seahawk.
"So, like, what's up, mom?" Maila blurted, hands on her hips.
With a hand massaging her temples, Mermista began, "Okay, so, my spies tell me there's this weird cache box thingy floating around in the open sea. It's, like, radiating some strange vibes."
"So, I guess you want us to go play detective, huh?" Maila's voice dripped with sarcasm.
Mermista let out a long, tired sigh. "Maila, you're gonna be queen one day. Your dad and I thought this would be good for you. You know, learning on the job?" Mermista fetched a pair of keys and lobbed them towards Maila.
"Take the Dragon's Daughter 7. Try to forget that you’re half-Seahawk and don’t fuck this up, okay?"
Maila caught the keys mid-air, stuck her tongue out at her mom. "Well, mom, that snarkiness is why dad scores higher on my favorite parent scale!"
Mermista retaliated by launching her trident at her, missing by miles.
"Haha, missed, bitch!"
"Just scram before I break your neck!"
The Open Sea
Maila was in her element on the Dragon’s Daughter 7, feeling like she ruled the world. "Yay!" she screamed, her voice swallowed by the ocean breeze. Kazari leaned lazily against the railing, idly swirling sparks of havok magic between her fingers. “So,” she began, “has your mother been a moody bitch-canou?” 
Maila chuckled lightly, “Yeah, but she’s still pretty cool. She once made sure Finn’s trauma isn’t worse than it is…” she droned.
Kazari furrowed her brow, the magicat’s head tilted slightly. 
“Trauma? Maila, what the fuck are you-?”
Maila pointed to the other magicat, Finn, curled up in the fetal position, while Archer and Iyexi were doing their best to confront them. “Finn, just relax, okay?” said Archer. 
“We got you, buddy!” Iyexi held Finn’s hand. 
“Finn?” Kazari approached her fellow magicat. “Are you okay?” she asked, her aussie accent softened over the years. 
Finn looked up at Kazari, saying, “Y-yeah, I will be once we finish this damn mission!” 
"Don't sweat it, Finn! You can have a good sob with your moms once we're done!" Kazari jested, a glint of mischief in her eyes.
"Actually, I can't really be around my moms at the moment…"
"Wow, way to rain on the fun parade..." Kazari responded, her teasing tone deflating a bit.
Maila was busy fiddling with a radar when a blip appeared on the screen. "Hey, guys, I think we've got a hit!"
Everyone rose from their spots and huddled around the mermaid-pirate princess. There it was, the cache box, several feet beneath them.
"Alright, looks like this box is tucked away in a sea cave! Kazari, I could use your help hauling this thing, it seems pretty hefty. Your havoc magic should do the trick," she explained, handing out wetsuits to the team.
Kazari merely nodded, stripping down to her underwear, leaving Finn blushing like a ripe tomato. Kazari didn't miss a beat, she winked at the flustered magicat, taunting, “Guess you've hit the jackpot, tiger. Snap a picture, it'll last longer,” before wriggling into her wetsuit, and the others followed her lead.
One by one, everyone dived into the azure depths with the only expectation being Finn who said, “You guys go ahead, I’ll…stay back and watch the boat…”
Maila shot them an empathetic look as she dived in. Maila's seafoam green jacket melted around her legs, which fused into an aquamarine fish tail. 
"Alright, stay close," Maila directed, speeding off into the depths with the rest of the team in her wake.
Kazari lagged slightly, swimming alongside Archer and Iyexi. She asked, "What's up with Finn? They seem off-kilter."
"Finn has a thing about water, but it's their story to share, not ours," Iyexi replied, a serious undertone in her voice. Kazari simply nodded in response, understanding the sentiment.
As they neared the cave entrance, Maila called out, "We're here. Kazari, you're up with me."
“Got it,” Kazari replied, swimming up to join Maila at the cave's entrance. The other two hung back slightly, providing cover and watching out for any surprises.
The underwater cave was darker than the surrounding sea, its entrance guarded by a mess of coral and sea plants swaying lazily in the current. Maila and Kazari had to maneuver carefully to avoid disturbing the fragile underwater life. Once past the entrance, they turned on the small lights attached to their suits, illuminating the gloomy interior.
The water inside the cave was cooler and eerily still, reflecting the beams of their lights in strange, distorted patterns on the rough cave walls. They advanced slowly, the silence broken only by the sound of their own breathing and the occasional crackle from their comms devices.
There it was, nestled among an outcropping of rocks, the cache box. Its metallic surface was half-buried in the sand and encrusted with layers of marine life, making it seem more like a part of the cave than an alien object.
Maila signaled to Kazari, pointing towards the box. With a determined nod, Kazari conjured her havoc magic. The sparks danced around her arms and core before reaching out towards the box, lifting it gently from its bed of sand and rocks.
Just when they thought everything was going smoothly, Kazari's eyes widened at a pattern she spotted. It was unmistakably similar to those cursed spiders they had encountered before.
"What the hell?" Kazari blurted out.
"Kazari, what's up?!" Archer and Iyexi's voices crackled through the comms, their concern palpable.
Maila followed Kazari's gaze just in time to see the sand beneath them begin to swirl and shift. "Guys, we need to move, now! We're not alone down here!"
Before they could react, the ocean floor erupted in a cloud of sand and debris. As the dust cleared, a massive, monstrous squid revealed itself.
"HOLY SHIT!!!" Iyexi's exclamation was barely audible over the chaos.
"We have to secure the box!" Maila commanded, doing her best to keep her cool in the face of the terrifying creature. As the squid lunged at them, they swam as fast as they could, the cache box in tow. Their hearts pounded in their chests, the adrenaline fueling their swift escape.
Through gritted teeth, Kazari shouted, "Alright, I'll keep the squid busy, you guys secure the box!"
"On it!"
Without wasting any more time, they all lunged forward, each grabbing a corner of the cache box. Maila, thanks to her mermaid physiology, found the task easier. A mermaid's strength is volumetric - directly proportional to the amount of water in contact with her body. In the vastness of the open sea, Maila was easily the strongest among them.
As they struggled with the box, Kazari swam headfirst into the fray. Her aim was to distract the gigantic squid long enough for the others to make their escape. It was a dangerous plan, but it was all they had. With a deep breath, she charged towards the monstrous creature, ready to face it head-on.
With a determined look, Kazari summoned her havok magic. Electricity crackled around her, creating an impressive, almost mesmerizing display. It felt like pins and needles pricking her scalp, but she had to ignore it. And just as she hoped, the squid turned its focus to her, tentacles lunging in her direction.
Seizing her moment, Kazari pushed off the cave wall, dodging the squirming tentacles with agile precision. She swam underneath the box and latched onto Maila’s tail, swimming swiftly to join the group.
"Archer, teleport us out of here, now!" Kazari's voice was firm, carrying the urgency of their predicament. They needed to get out, and they needed to do it fast. Archer did just that, warping the four, and the box onto the boat, in front of a perplexed Finn. 
"Are you serious?!" Finn's voice echoed through the communication devices as the crew scampered back onto the Dragon's Daughter 7. Maila made a beeline for the console, revving up the ship's engines and steering them away from the underwater chaos.
Minutes later, when they were safely away from the giant squid and the adrenaline had started to wane, Finn repeated their earlier question, this time more slowly, "Can somebody please tell me what the FUCK just happened?"
Maila, steadying her breath, managed to give them a succinct answer: "Giant squid. But we did get the cache box!" She hoped that her words carried some reassurance. Despite the unexpected challenges, they'd succeeded in their mission.
“Welp, in any case, let’s crack this fucker open,” said Kazari.
Wanting to contribute, Finn popped out their claws and broke off the lock. Inside the box, were all aging weapons: an armcannon, a trident, a set of power boosting gloves, bow and arrows and a short sword and sheath. 
At first, their faces reflected nothing but underwhelmed surprise. This was what they had risked their lives for? A bunch of old, worn-out weapons? But then, the realization dawned on them. These pieces were more than just weapons…
"Guys! If I'm not totally off-base here, these weapons... they look like they were crafted by the First Ones," Maila announced, her eyes wide with realization.
"The First Ones, you say?" Iyexi mused, carefully picking up the armcannon. "Well, in that case, they might actually be of use to us."
Archer nodded, his hands running over the bow and arrows. He sensed the age and craftsmanship in the simple tools. Meanwhile, Finn took hold of the gloves, inspecting them with a quiet curiosity.
As for Maila, she found herself gravitating towards the trident, a sense of familiarity washing over her. Kazari, on the other hand, chose the tanto and its sheath, a certain fondness evident in her gaze.
"Well, regardless of where they came from, they're definitely going to give us a boost for shop class," Finn commented, breaking the momentary silence. "So, at least there's that, right? Right, Kazari? Uh, Kazari?"
They all turned to look at Kazari, who seemed to be in a sort of trance. Her gaze was fixated on a rock outside the ship's window, where an unusual, smoky blob was swirling around…
Later that night…
Alone in the quiet of her dorm room, Kazari found herself captivated by the aged sword she had claimed earlier. It had an undeniable charm, a feeling of history that was too intriguing to ignore. With the sword resting in her lap, Kazari leaned back in her chair, her sketchbook splayed open on her desk.
Her pencil danced across the page, guided by her hand as she poured her thoughts into a flurry of lines and shapes. But there was one shape, one image, that kept resurfacing in her mind. The smoky blob she had seen swirling around the rock.
"What is that thing I keep seeing?" she wondered aloud, her gaze flicking back and forth between her sword and her sketchbook. "What is it trying to show me?" As the night deepened, Kazari found herself lost in her thoughts, her curiosity piqued by the mystery of the swirling smoke and the sword.

Chapter 6- The New Best Friend Squad Part 2- Sick Day
A few days later…
The dummy thicc wind princess that was Spinnerella felt like she was just gonna melt into a pile of mucus, and her head kept spinning as she curled up in a chair. Her wife, Netossa, was not doing much better, in fact, she had already puked multiple times and she had a sore neck and short breathing. 
“Oh Gods, Spinny. Everything hurts! One of us is to blame and it’s not me!” said Netossa. 
Spinnerella raised an eyebrow . “Netossa, let’s vote on it!” she droned. 
“Spinny, you must be sicker and both of us if you think voting will actually change anything. There are only two of us! What the hell would voting achieve?!” Netossa tried to yell, only to cough up a lung.
Meanwhile, their son, Riley, was leaning against the wall with Kazari, Finn, Iyexi and Archer. 
“You see what I mean?” Riley said, keeping his distance. 
“Spinny, Nets. You two look horrible!” Kazari said, flatly.
“DUDE!” Riley shot a glare at Kazari before looking at his mothers. “Uh…mommy? Are you two okay?” 
Netossa tried to sit up, but to no avail. “Welp, my chest feels like it’s being crushed and my head is pounding like crazy, what do you think?” she asked with a pout? 
Spinny gave a harsh cough. “Riley, please kill me!” she said, clearly delirious. 
Iyexi grimaced as she activated her visor to scan Spinny and Netossa’s temperature. Jebuss Krist, you two are burning up!” the half-spacebat remarked. “Are you two okay?”
Spinny sighed and said, “I dunno, something bit us yesterday and now we both feel like death!
Archer rubbed the back of his head, saying, “So, Riley. What exactly do you need us for?”
“Right, so…we need to gather some stuff to make a broth, or something, before these my moms kill over or something,” said Riley. 
Netossa was a bit more successful at sitting up this time as she told Riley, “It’s okay, son. We’ll be okay, we just need a little bit of rest and relaxa-BLEEEEEEHHHHH!!” The net-tossing princess’ stomach convulsed and spewed out a massive stream of bile and half digested food and rubbish. 
Riley leaped back and watched in horror. “Oh geez, mom!” 
Spinnerella desperately tried to shield herself from the stream of chunky bile. 
The squad looked at each other with concern, with Finn remarking, “Fucking yikes!” 
Spinnerella tried to make a shield of wind to block the stream, but she simply did not have the energy to do so, all she could do is block with her arms. “EWEWEWEWEWEEEEW!” she cried out. 
Netossa stream finally ceased, and the net tossing princess collapsed onto the floor. 
Spinnerella whimpered, using what little strength she had to wipe off the vomit. “Riley, please hurry!”
Elberon 
Upon arrival, Kazari’s first thought was the memory of her first time coming here with Micah to help grab stuff for a special tea for Angella. It was actually quite nice. 
“Okay, guys. Here are lists of items for the brew,” Riley said, passing around small slips of paper.  As everyone took the paper, everyone seemed to break off into separate cliques; Kazari and Finn rushed off , while Iyexi and Archer remained with Riley. 
“I swear, those two have been inseparable since Kazari first got here,” Riley remarked. 
Iyexi placed her hands behind the back of her head, saying, “Well, me and Archer have a bet going on. I’m fairly certain that Kazari and Finn are gonna fuck, one of these days!”
Riley grimaced. “Oh, Jebuss Krist… you shouldn’t make bets on that kind of stuff,” he said, face flushed red with embarrassment. 
Archer cleared his throat as he tried to “Right….so…let’s just get the items…we need some noodles?”
Meanwhile, Kazari and Finn wandered through the town and immediately noticed something was off!
“Kaz, is it me, or does everyone seem…on edge?” asked Finn. 
Sure enough, people around the two magicats seemed to be looking over there collective shoulders. A woman was frantically trying to get back her house, and a little girl was desperately clinging on to her father like Golem holding on to that ring. 
That’s when the mayor, Elena walked up to the two. “Finn, son of Sir Adora and Lady Catra. Kazari, student of Micah. It’s good to see you two, but you should be careful!” 
“Mayor Elena, hey, how’s it going?” Finn asked. 
Elena looked tired, but gave as warm a smile as she could manage. She was a lanky woman with olive complexion and a pixie haircut. 
“Honestly, I’ve been better. We’ve been better!”
Kazari raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, what exactly is going on?” 
With a sigh, Elena explained, “There have been rumors that have been turning pretty credible, of a monster in the form of a spider!  
Kazari decided to gain more info, as her interest was now thoroughly piqued. “I see, so why not contact one of the princesses? the magicat asked. 
“Well,” Elena explained, Spinnerella and Netossa tried to help out yesterday, but now they’re sick, which is why everyone is on edge! Perfuma is preparing for the festival later, and frankly, we don’t think we should be relying on the princesses to solve all of our problems…”
Finn smirked. “Now that is an idea I can get behind!” they said. 
Kazari stepped forward and told the mayor, “If they are sightings of some kind of monster, then  the Best Friend Squad has gotcha covered. Consider it our new side quest!”
Some time later, everyone met up at a cafe, with Kazari ordering milk for everyone. “Okay, new plan,” she said. “Apparently, there half been rumors of a monster running around deep in the woods, I’m willing to bet that THAT is the cause of Spinny and Netossa’s illness!”
Finn raised an eyebrow and asked, “Kaz, are you suggesting that we become monster hunters?”
Kaz nodded. “That is EXACTLY what I am suggesting!”
“But…what about moms?!” Riley stammered. 
Kazari simply flash her million dollar smile, assuring him, “Don’t worry, Riley. Your moms are Spinnerella and Netossa! They fought in the war, I’m sure they can wait just a little while longer, I’m sure they’re handling it with grace and finesse.
Meanwhile, Spinnerella and Netossa were handling being sick with about as much grace and finesse as a big bull seal. Scorpia had arrived to help out, and was met with the sight of Netossa curled up in a fetal position and Spinnerella whimpering, face down on the floor, Netossa’s dried vomit caked on the side of her face. 
“Jebuss Krist, what the hell happened?!” said Scorpia. 
Spinny struggled into a seating position, saying, “Well, Netossa puked all over me, I tried to get up and wipe it off, but *sniff* I collapsed and landed on my bad ankle. It hurts so much…WAAHH!” 
Scorpia kneeled down and gave the dummy thicc wind princess and pulled her into an embrace. 
“Shh…it’s okay…Mama Scorps is here. Imma take such good care of you guys!”
Netossa threw her head back incredulously. “RILEY!!! PLEASE HURRY!!!”
Back in Elberon, Kazari led everyone towards to edge of the Whispering Woods. “Everyone, keep your eyes peeled. According to Elena, the monster looks like a spider, so if we come across it we need to….” Kazari suddenly zoned out, staring at a tree that seemed to distort in her vision. The distortions started to take on a shape that Kazari couldn’t quite make out. Iyexi waved a hand in front of Kazari’s face, causing the magicat to blink rapidly, snapping back to reality. “Woah, that was weird!”
“Kaz, are you okay? You kinda just zoned out for a second?” said Archer. 
“I don’t know….I thought I saw something. C’mon!”
“Oh Jeez, Kazari. I don’t know about this! You’re apparently hallucinating now, what if you caught moms’ sickness,” said Riley. 
Kazari simply hand waved that away, saying, “Nah, I think I’ve just saw something, but I’ll deal with that later. For now, we’ve got a spider to squish.
Iyexi placed a hand on Archer’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, this is Kazari, she has her ways!” 
“Oh…I sure hope so!”
Kazari walked forward, cutting through some tall bushes and shrubbery, soon coming across, “Guys, looks, a spider web!” 
The web was glowing with kinda luminescence, slowly shifting between thalo blue and crime scene red. Riley and Kazari kneeled down to study it. “Riley, you’re half-Netossa, do you recognize the makeup of this web?” the magicat asked. 
Riley nodded his head. “Nah, this strange webbing seems almost…not entirely organic!”
Kazari tapped her chin pensively before grabbing the nearest stick she could find and poked the web, causing it to glitch out and undulate. Kazari and Riley backed up before the web burst into an acidic goop!
“What the fuck?!” Iyexi proclaimed. 
“Interesting!” said Kazari.
“Kazari, you scare me!” said Riley.
Finn placed an arm over Kazari’s shoulder saying, “Everyone's a critic these day, huh, Kaz?" they said in jest.
Kazari tapped her chin, the magicat saying, “These webs don’t seem to be built for trapping things, more like causing severe damage. Iyexi, be a dear and collect a sample, because this might provide some useful information!”
With a nod, Iyexi did just that, using a plastic bag and several cotton swabs to take samples of the spider goop. “Fucking gross,” she said. 
“That spider shouldn’t be far from here,” said Archer. 
“So, Kaz, which way should we go?” Finn asked their fellow magicat. 
Kazari opened her mouth, when she suddenly cried out, “Riley, look out!” as she tackled him to the ground, a large needle sailing past the two as they fell! 
Finn, Archer and Iyexi reeled back at what shot the needles, and sure enough, it was that damned spider, one that was as big as a large dog!
“Holy fucking shit!” Riley exclaimed. 
Kazari sprang to her feet and helped Riley up, saying, “Okay, this must be the fucker that made you mums sick. Let’s take it down!” 
Finn, Archer and Iyexi gathered around the redhead, with Archer asking, “Kaz, what’s the plan?!”
Kazari turned to Riley, “Riley, you’re half Netossa! How good are you with tossing nets?” she asked. 
Riley gave a shrug, saying, “Welp, I only have half my mother’s potential, so I’ve gotta be smart about!” 
With a nod, Kaz whispered into Riley’s ear, before telling him, “Riley, just run! We’ll handle this!”
Riley did not have to be told twice, running off deeper into the woods. The squad lined up as the spider hissed at them. Other than its sheer size, the spider had a dark iridescent body and its back was adorned in a blood red pattern that looked oddly familar.   
Kazari clenched her fist as she suddenly spun around on her heels, shouting, “RUN AWAY!!!” with the other following suit, sprinting deeper into the woods, the spider giving chase. Eventually, Kazari and Finn started running on all fours, pulling ahead as the spider continued to gain on the four, its disturbingly stocky legs scuttling and shuffling with the quickness.
“Kazari! Where are we going?!” asked Finn. 
Still running, Kazari simply winked at them, saying, “You’re about to find out!”   
“What?”
“Just over this incline!”
Kazari and Finn led the charge, bounding over a hill and into the path of a crudely made web, created by an exhausted Riley. 
“Damn, nice work, Riley!” Iyexi complemented. 
Kazari narrowed her eyes, and ordered, “Finn, you and I will take the top corners, Archer and Iyexi, you two take the bottoms!
The spider was inching closer and closer and closer, its four cerulean orb-like eyes appeared to look like….malice? Rage? How? It didn’t matter as Kazari and Finn leaped across the tree and grabbed the tops of the web while Archer and Iyexi took the bottoms, taking the web and covering the spider, who thrashed around wildly, its legs tearing a ripping at the nets, Kazari knew she had to act quickly, so she tightened her grip on the nets and shouted, “Silky Spider Thread Havok OVERDRIVE!” and send a steady current of havok magic through the nets, electrocuting the spider, causing the monster to spaz out and explode into a rain of smoldering guts and entrails. 
Riley grimaced at the sight. 
Kazari smirked, shaking the pins and needles out of her hand. “Hmph! Hmph! That takes care of that! C’mon, you guys, let’s go check on the town! ARCHER!”
Everyone linked up as Archer teleported everyone back to Elberon. When they got there however, the town was covered in luminescent spiderwebs, and the people were hiding. “It’s okay, everyone! We’ve got em’!” Kazari shouted. 
Suddenly, one guy peaked his head out of a nearby window, saying, “ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!”
Before anyone could even process that, a large needle flew past the squad, piercing Riley in the shoulder, knocking him to the ground. Archer rushed to his side, asking him, “Are you okay?!”
Riley broke into the cold sweat and turned pale. “Oh Jebuss Krist, everything hurt, my head is spinning, I think I’m gonna vomit!”
Kazari looked for what shot Riley, but she didn’t have for long, with a gasp, she was the first to notice an even bigger spider, one that was the size of a large storage building, looming over Elena’s home. 
“Holy fucking shit!” Finn exclaimed.
“That must be the mother, and the cause of Spinny and Netossa’s illness” Iyexi said. 
The man in the window cried out, “We’re all about to die!”, but Kazari turned around, saying, “Or, perhaps not! I’ve decided to explore the Valley of the Lost yesterday, and it’s amazing what you’d buried under the sand!”
Archer, who was cradling the downed Riley said, “Kazari, what are you-?” but soon got his answer when Kazari pulled out an old rusty Horde Soldier Blaster! 
“What the- THAT’S AN OLD HORDE BLASTER!” Iyexi shouted.
Kazari nodded, saying, “Damn right, and it’s about to get a havok extension!”
With a smirk, Kazari aimed the gun, channeled her havok through the chamber and barrel, and opened fire on the spider mother. 
Riley, who has now in a full blown fever, looked at the sight before him, saying, “What the fuck?! I knew that bitch was crazy, but not THAT crazy. In front of the Gods and everybody?! INCREDIBLE! Where did she even get the gun?! WHY SHOOT UP THE WHOLE VILLAGE?!”
Kazari let loose a furious roar, continuing the fire at the super spider, until the limited use of havok proved too much for the rather gun, which suddenly exploded. Kazari staggered back, but smirked as it seemed the damage was enough to knock the spider off its perch! It quickly got up, hissing at the five, hate in its many eyes. 
Kazari scooped up Riley in a bridal carry, saying, “Okay, we’ll draw its fire, you guys grab its legs, we’re headed to Spinny and Netossa’s house. Archer, get ready to teleport. I’ve got a plan!” 
“Wha- Kazari, what are you-?”
The magicat darted forward, and leaped onto the spider’s back while the other’s grab the spider’s legs!
“Now, Archer!” 
Archer tightened his grip and teleported outside of Spinnerella and Netossa’s house before grabbing Riley, gently placing him next to Spinny and Netossa.
“Wha-? Oh no, Riley. Not you too!” said a dying Netossa. 
 Finn and Iyexi dodged the needles being shot at then while Kazari grabbed Archer and they both teleported onto the top of the roof. 
“Archer! Got your arrows?” asked the magicat. 
“Do you even have to ask?” Archer, pulled out a retractable folding bow and arrow set. 
“Together!” Kazari shouted. 
Finn and Iyexi managed to get the spider to turn its back to Kazari and Archer, who’d both drawn back the arrow, crackling with Kazari’s havok magic. “Here we go, Archer! Arrowshot Havok Overdrive. They released the arrow, it flying like a comet, straight into the spider’s back. Bullseye! The spider’s body flashed with electricity as it suddenly burst into another shower and guts and ectoplasm. 
Last time, Iyexi was able to miraculously avoid getting dirty. This time, suffice to say, she was not so lucky this time! 
Spinnerella, Netossa and Riley, suddenly felt a wave like a fresh spring breeze! It was as if they were never sick at all! “Woah, I suddenly feel better!” Riley remarked. 
Spinny and Netossa shot up, went outside, and surveyed the damage. “Okay, this is actually very concerning!” said Netossa. 
Kazari and Archer leaped down from the roof and gave the two a thumbs up! 
“So, it looks like you’re feelin’ better,’ Kazari remarked. 
Spinnerella, however, said nothing, only thinking to herself; “Where did the thing even come from?”
Netossa stepped forward, saying, “Welp, thanks for the help, can you also do us a favor and give our thanks to Scorpia? Thanks!”
The squad fistbumped each other, triumphantly, but then Spinny cut in, saying, “Okay, this is all well and good, but whose gonna clean all this is up?” to which Netossa walked up to her with a broom, dustpan and the sexy maid outfit!
“Yeah, that seems about right!”

Chapter 1: Chapter 1- The New Generation
Chapter Text
Adora's Log #1...
20 years. It's been over 20 years since the defeat of Horde Prime. I can hardly believe so much time has passed. To me, it always felt like it was yesterday, what with the constant panic attacks and PTSD and whatnot. Then again, I try to remember everything that has happened. If I listed everything, I'd be here all day, but at the top of my head: I was made Grand Knight of Etheria, we discovered another dimension and met a different version of me (Sidenote- Retro Adora, as we've been calling her, is a bit of a weirdo. She can also become She-Ra, but she has a bizarre habit of announcing it to nobody in particular). We brought back Queen Angella, but it seems all those years in the void have caused some lasting damage to her psyche. Oh yeah, we also accidently resurrected the past She-Ras. Actually, my son, Finn, is at Liq'Ollem, training with Juliet right now. I wonder if-"
"Yo, Adora! You ready? We're gonna go check on Finn. Also, we have guest coming along"
Adora looked up at her wife, Catra. The magicat extended her hand, which Adora happily took.
Liq'Ollem
Even after 20 years, it was still hard to believe that this place used to be the Fright Zone, but what stood in its place was a sprawling metropolis, a melting pot of all the cultures of Etheria. Let's go to the park, where Finn was busy building muscles and training with Juliet. Training for the G1 Cosmic Tenkaichi.
Following Finn's birth, Juliet was made to be a godmother to the son of Adora and Catra, a task she has excelled in greatly. "That's right. That's how you do it!" Juliet proudly told Finn as they did the 200th set of reps! "Thanks. It's all your doing. I have a great trainer you know." Finn winks at Juliet who has been a mentor and guide ever since they were born. Juliet laughed heartily at them. "Damn right! Hey, your moms are here!" she said, pointing to the stupid lesbian and her cat wife!"
Finn gave a sigh as they walked up to the moms. "Hey, Mamadora. Hey, Momoew. What are you guys doing here?" they asked.
Adora replied, "Well, We're here to see you, silly!"
Catra tried to ruffle Finn's hair, only for them to swat her hand away.
"Oh yeah," Adora perked up, "We brought along someone really special!"
Finn and Juiliet looked at each other, then back to the couple. "Oh, and who is this special guest?" Juliet asked.
Catra and Adora pointed to the approaching third woman.
"Finn, I want you to meet Retro Adora. She's not from our dimension! You both haven't been able to get to know each other and Finn, she happens to be your aunt. Might as well introduce yourself to your aunt, don't you think?"
Finn gave this a thought and then said, "I guess so. I would love to know her, Mom." Finn said and genuinely meant it. Retro Adora was a part of their family and it was incumbent upon Finn to know every member of their family. "Hello Finn, my gorgeous nephew. Can't believe I'm seeing you for the first time in twelve years! What a journey it's been, ha?" Retro Adora was always the chirpy one in the family and she would always make it a point to let everyone know that she is a She-Ra. She took a lot of pride in being a She-Ra and could not say it out loud enough, much to everyone's annoyance.
"Well then, I guess you will be seeing more of me, auntie. Rest assured," said Finn with a wink.
"I'm eagerly looking forward to it," replied Retro Adora.
With the recurrent trips she had made to this realm from the other dimension and functioning as an actual family member for Adora and Catra, she really had become a fixture in their life. "Alright, then. Off you go. Better not keep everyone waiting," said Adora. "Oh, yes. I have to go and check on the others. I'll join you all later then." Finn waved the three ladies a goodbye and headed off to check on the others.
"Bye, bitches!"
Squared off under a tree, Scorpia and her daughter, Rose, were found sparring with each other. Perfuma watched from a distance. Between the scorpion claws at the end of her fingertips and the flower power, Rose was truly the best of both worlds. Rose cartwheeled over a sweeping kick, and attempted a pele, only to be caught in Scorpia's grip.
"Dammit!" Rose shouted.
"Easy, Rose. You're gonna do great at the Cosmic Tenkaichi, but you still have a lot to learn!" Scorpia said with a grin.
"Looks like your training in going well," An approaching Finn remarked. "Of course, being the offspring of Scorpia and I has it's perks," said Pefuma.
"Rose is awesome! She's gonna do so well in the tournament," Scorpia gushed.
Finn placed an arm over Rose's shoulder. "They're right, y'know. I can't wait to see you in action" Finn said. Rose always felt good about herself, but it didn't hurt to let someone gas her up, however, she couldn't help but feel a small twinge of envy towards the young magicat. "Finn, when we get older, you'll be the first of us to get laid, won't ya?" she asked. "ROSE! YOU'RE 13! Don't be so vulgar!" Perfuma shouted before calming down. "Sorry...sorry...but you really don't need to be so...perverse. Rose rolled her eyes calmly. Deep down, she knows that she's still in the early stages of puberty, and eventually, her hormones would hit her like a ton of bricks.
"Right, imma go check up on Maila. The gods know she must be getting put through her paces!"
By the lake, the daughter of Seahawk and Mermista repelled fast flying water balls. Also, Frosta was there to chuck snowballs every once in a while.
"Let's go! Pep in your step!" Mermista demanded. After a bit more dodging and weaving, Maila closed in on Frosta, then wiped the sweat from the blue streak in her otherwise brown hair and shot it into the ice princess's eyes.
Frosta reeled back in pain. "Ow, you goddamned cheap-shotting little shit!" she said as she decked Maila in the face.
"Yo, Frosta! Got bored bodying scrubs in Smash, so you're bodying scrubs IRL?"
"Finn, shut the fuck up! I'm no scrub!" said Maila.
Finn rolled their eyes with a chuckle. "Good to see you too, Maila. How's training going?"
The mermaid-pirate princess gave a confident smirk. "I am so ready for a tourney. Finn, are YOU ready for a championship ADVENTURE?!!!" Mermista rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Uuugh, Maila, you don't have to yell, we're right here!" she moaned. Maila was definitely her and Seahawk's daughter, she had inherited Mermista's mermaid form, but that's all she got. Maila snickered like an idiot as Frosta suddenly got a message on her holo-pager. "Oh crap, speaking of tournaments, I got a local Smash tournament at Snow.
As soon as Frosta was out of earshot, Finn said, "I swear, I don't think she ever really grew up, did she? Speaking of adult-children, where's Seahawk?"
Mermista rolled her eyes. "Finn, remind Adora to swing be Sealinies later today. Seahawk is nursing a broken bussy..." she droned.
Maila tilted her head. "What's a bussy"
Finn turned a bright head, but then they noticed Riley. Riley sprinted around the trees and shrubbery as a laugh-filled Spinnerella stood on her tornado, which blasted tennis balls everywhere. Riley moved serpentine. High above him, Netossa swung from tree to tree with her nets. "Come on, Riley. Put some pep in your step, son!" said Netossa. At the moment, Finn ran up to Riley, running backwards, saying, "Well, looks like, Spinny and Netossa are putting you through it.
"Hey, Finn! Can't talk! Being pelted with balls!" said Riley.
"RILEY! PHRASING!" shouted Spinnerella.
"Sorry, Mom!"
Riley suddenly tripped over a loose branch, leaving him wide open to get blasted with several balls.
Finn awkwardly rubbed the back of their head, saying, "Oof, I'll just go check on Archer!"
Archer's training just amounted to being shot at by Glimmer and Micah as Bow and Angella sat on the sidelines, taking it all in. "Oh yeah, that's right, Archer. Dance, son. Dance!" Speaking of dancing, Glimmer's movements with new magic kinda looked like samba combat. "Come on, Mom. Come on, Grandpa Micah! Bring me all you got!
"Y'know, it's still surreal to have a grandson," Micah mused.
"Yes, well, he is a good one", Angella remarked. Ever since being rescued from the void, things were not easy for the bridlady. All those years in total, white isolation have wreaked havoc on Angie's psyche, the road to recovery has been slow and painful, but she has made great strides, and Archer certainly helped out.
Glimmer's eyes sparkled as she grinned an almost crazed grin as she obliged. Teleporting into point blank range, Glimmer attempted to blast Archer in the face, but Archer diverted the shot, which nearly hit Finn, who was perched up in a nearby tree. Luckily, Finn had the wherewithal to dodge at the last moment.
"Glimmer, did you forget to take your meds again?" they pondered.
Angella raised an eyebrow.
"Meds? Glimmah, what're they talking about?!"
Glimmer desperately looked for excuses to get out of the situation. "Uh...Finn, you were on your way to see Iyexi. I'll teleport you to your buddy, Iyexi, since I need to talk to Entrapta!"
With that, Glimmer pounced and tackled Finn, teleporting them both to the other side of the park.
Hordak and Entrapta took notes as Iyexi threw precise and calculated punches and kicks at Kadroh, who was formerly known as Wrong Hordak. "Very good, sister!" said Kadroh.  Iyexi lined up a strong kick, only for Glimmer to teleport into the line of fire and get the wind knocked outta her!
"Are you okay?" said Iyexi.
Glimmer struggled to her feet and said, "Yeah, I'm all good, but y'know, I still can't believe you two had a kid. I didn't think Hordak had a dick!"
Finn rolled their eyes as they went to go speak with Iyexi and Kodroh. "Finn, brother! How are your mothers?" said Kadroh.
"Well, Mamadora hasn't had a manic episode in a couple months, a new record, so I'd say we're doing fine..."
Iyexi took Finn by the hand. "Finn! Are you ready for that tournament? Ready to go in and bust some heads?"
Finn chuckled.
"Hell yeah. We're going all the way!"
Iyexi chuckled. "Let's save it for the tournament. Speaking of which, it's gonna be on Xisaeus, so we'd better be careful with the wildlife, y'know!"
"Yeah, whatever, Iyexi."
"Hey, Finn. Isn't your cousin, Rohan, competing this year?"
Finn nodded. "Yep, he is. We've made a pact that we'd face each other in the finals!"
While the two were having their discussion, Glimmer went up to Entrapta, saying, "So, have you finished with your little project yet?"
Entrapta beamed, telling the queen, "Yep! I've finally managed to mod us all into Smash!"
"Excellent! This is gonna be lit!"
Meanwhile, Iyexi produced a tablet to show Finn the current tournament bracket.
"Alright, so there is one competitor, from Xisaeus. Her name is Kazari, so I guess she'll have a hometown advantage. Finn? FIIINN? FINN!!!" Iyexi shouted.
Finn was suddenly jolted back to reality.
"Shit...I'm sorry, it's just Kazari...she's a magicat! Just like me and Momeow. So rare!" they said.
Planet Xisaeus. The Next Day
The hot sun bared down on a certain magicat. She sported dark red hair with a matching tail wrapped around her waist like a belt, gray fur and wore a tight red vest. Enter: Kazari.
As Kazari laid motionless, her dads, Ian Artemy and Steve Pigeon walked up to her, with Artemy saying, "Oi, Kazari, if you're not too busy, we're gonna need you to make a snag run."
Kazari yawned and kipped up. "Fuckin' hell, dads. I was having the best nap. Alright then, I'll be back.
As Kazari went into the city, she took a look at the massive stadium in the center of the city square. With a smirk, she simply said, "Look out, world, here comes Kazari!"
Chapter 2: Chapter 2- Cosmic Tenkaichi
Chapter Text
The day of the G1 Cosmic Tenkaichi has arrived. Everybody had reconvened at Brightmoon that morning as requested by Juliet. "So, Juliet. What did you call us here anyway?" asked Finn. Juliet and Adora smiled, with Adora saying, "Well, I wanted to discuss the name of our team, as well as share some advice. First and foremost, your team name. Since we're repping both Etheria AND Eternia, we'll be calling ourselves; TEAM GRAYSKULL!"
Glimmer summoned a box, and inside of that box, there were multiple jackets with a fanged lightning bolt.
"Damn, these are pretty pog!" said Iyexi. Angella rolled her eyes, saying, "I swear, i'll never understand the vernacular of your generation, Iyexi!"
As Micah took Angella's hand to comfort her, he remarked, "Y'know, i'm just going to say it, it's weird that the son of She-Ra and the daughter of Hordak are as close as they are."
Juliet was checking the bracket on a tracker pad, when Catra went up the formerly deceased woman. "Hey Juliet, let me see the bracket!" the magicat demanded, rather rudely.
Juliet turned the tablet to the magicat, and Catra was shocked to her core. On the bracket, there was a gray magicat with short red hair and green feline eyes.
"Her name is Kazari, looks like she's running unaffiliated," said Juliet.
"Dear Gods, the resemblance is uncanny! You really think that could be...nah!"
"Is there a problem?" asked Juliet.
Before the conversation could go any further, Catra had another coughing fit. While she luckily didn't cough up a hairball this time. Catra fell to her knees and Adora joined her, concern written all over her face. "It's okay, Adora. I'm fine!"
As Catra got to her feet, Finn came into the room. "Moms, is everything alright? It's time to go for the tournament!" they said.
Adora nodded. "Right, go warm up Darla!"
Finn nodded and ran off the started up Darla.
About an hour later...
Glimmer looked out of the bay window. "Alright, everyone. We'll be there in about a couple minutes. I have one last piece of advice to give you all; FIGHT HARD! HAVE FUN! CLEAR EYES AND FULL HEARTS! CAN'T LOSE!!" Bow placed a hand on her shoulder. "Easy, Glimmer," he said. "We're here!" said Finn. Team Grayskull ran up to the windows and saw the stadium in front of them. It was vast and vibrant. People were beginning to fill up the seats. On one end of the stadium, there was a huge concert-like stage with a huge ramp that led all the way down to the ring. On the ring canvas, there was a yin-yang symbol.
As Darla touched down, Adora was the first to exit, followed by the others. "C'mon, Finn. Let's find Rohan!"
"Hey, Finn! Aunt Adora!" a voice cried out.
"Well, it looks like we won't need to search long," Adora remarked.
A few feet away was a boy, about Finn's age. He wore a lavender headband that parted his long red hair, which he had inherited from her mother, Teela. Speaking of which, King Adam and Queen Teela were not too far behind.
Adora, for better or worse has changed quite a bit over the years, but she's still a dumb jock lesbian with all the grace of a big bull seal, so upon seeing Adam, Adora said, "ADAM!" and jumped upon her brother and gave him a big wet sloppy kiss, causing Teela and Catra to pry her off. Adam simply chuckled, saying, "Good to see you too, Adora."
Rohan raised an eyebrow. "Mom, Dad is taking that way too well," he remarked. Teela rolled her eyes. "Welp. I'm not surprised. Adora literally said, in front of the Gods and everybody, that other than Bow, Adam was the only man she'd go straight for..."
Retro Adora walked up to the twins, saying, "Well, I hate to disrupt this lovely reunion, but we should probably get to the locker room!"
"Hey, other Adora," said Adam.
:Retro Adora nodded in greeting as three women suddenly approached the three warriors.
"Wow, you're She-Ra, He-Man and other She-Ra!" one of them said.
"We're like...your biggest fans! Will you sign our titties?" As if on cue, all three of them raised their shirts, revealing three pairs of bountiful boobage of varying shapes and sizes. Adam gasped while Adora, being the dumb jock lesbian she is, shot out a spray of blood. Retro Adora was a bit better about this, but she was still an Adora, so she was drooling like a dog on a hot summer's day as she signed her name, saying, "I love being me!"
Locker Room
Kazari paced back and forth as Artemy and Pigeon tried to console her. "Try and relax, mate, you're gonna end up wearing yourself out before your first match," said Artemy.
"Sorry, Dad. I'm just a little excited to bust some heads!" Kazari said.
"Just go out there and have fun!" said Pigeon.
As Kazari nodded, Team Grayskull entered the locker room. Once Kazari was not looking, Adora and Catra got a better look at the magicat, but then, Finn went over to speak with Kazari!
"Hey, I'm Finn. The Product of She-Ra's semen. Good luck out there," they said, extending a hand.
"Thanks, mate. If you make it to the finals, I'd be honored to knock ya out!" Kazari said with a wink.
Before the conversation could go any further, Adora quickly grabbed Finn by arm and pulled them away, much to Kazari's confusion.
All competitors! Please report to the main stage for the opening ceremony!"
The Main Stage
All of the teams in the tournament stood on their own pedestals with the team logos on the front. The announcer grabbed a mic and gestured to the teams. "Welcome, one and all to the 8th Annual G1 Cosmic Tenkaichi. First, let's say hello to the teams who will be fighting for supremacy!" The Princess Alliance had taken seats in the skybox. As the teams were introduced.
"Representing Planet Zachin is Team Junga!"
"Representing Planet Cimexxo is Team Thunderstruck!"
"Representing Planet Panjax is Team Gingas!"
"Representing Planet Sahars is Team Corona!"
"Representing Planet Shuddah is Team Express!"
"Representing Planet Santhex is Team Thenia!"
"Representing Planet Primus is Team XeXalla"
"Representing both Etheria and Eternia is Team Grayskull!"
Team Grayskull waved to the thunderous crowd, with Finn saying, "Wow, they love us. Let's make it showy, everyone!"
"Finally, fighting unaffiliated, from right here, Planet Xisaeus. It's Kazari!"
If Team Grayskull had a loud reaction, then Jesus may well have came back to Earth, it's probably because Kazari is the hometown fighter, so that's to be expected.
"While the teams go back to prepare, please enjoy the opening ceremony!"
Adora gave a sigh, pulling out her tablet. The first match on the card shook Adora to the core.
Round 1, Match 1-
Team Grayskull's
ARCHER (He/Him)
Vs.
Kazari(She/They)
It was time for the first match of the tournament. 
Archer ran out onto the stage, taking in the vast crowd in front of him, brimming with confidence, something he had inherited from his mother, Glimmer. Catra took Adora's hand as Archer struck a pose, prompting alternating blasts of pyro from either side of the stage. Adora tensed up at the sudden explosions, but Bow and Glimmer was there to give her a reassuring squeeze. "It's okay, Adora. It's just pyro," said Bow. Adora was able to quickly calm down as Bow and Glimmer cheered on their son as he came down the ramp.
Now that Archer was in the ring, it was time for Kazari to make her entrance.
Kazari was much more energetic as the 13 year old magicat jogged from one end of the stage to another before heading down the ramp. Halfway down, Kazari stopped and stared down Archer and struck her own pose, kicking up a massive stream of pyro.
Micah looked at Catra and Adora and asked, "So...that kid. I still can't put my finger on it, but there is something about her that's just...off!"
"I don't know, but the resemblance is way too uncanny to ignore, we'll have to keep tabs on her for the time being!" said Catra. Adora said nothing as she watched Kazari enter the ring. The ring announcer grabbed the mic.
"Ladies, gentlemen and NBs, this bout is set for one fall. Introducing first, representing Team Grayskull...Archer! And his opponent, fighting unaffiliated, Kazari!"
After a few moments, the bell rang, starting the match. Archer quickly teleported behind Kazari and boxed her in the back, but Kazari landed on a hand and went for a mule kick which Archer teleported out the way of.
The prince of Brightmoon was now in front of the mysterious magicat with a smug grin, Kazari was not really worried. "Okay, Archer," they said. "I'm glad we've paired up, I've needed an opportunity to practice with these powers!"
Archer was confused. "Powers? What powers?" he asked. His question was soon answered as Kazari's fist glowed with a dull green and purple glow. Next thing Archer knew, he was on the receiving end of a massive uppercut, knocking him or cold. Kazari then pinned his shoulders to the mat and the ref counted. "1...2...3"
"And with that Kazari takes things first win of the day. Let's see if Team Grayskull can rebound against Team Junga!"
Glimmer gritted her teeth in anger, but Bow squeezed her hand. "It's alright, Glimmer. Our son is much stronger than that! Right now, he needs our support!"
The Infarmery
Archer held an icepack to his head, surrounded by Finn and the Best Friend Squad. "It's ok, buddy. You did good!" Bow said reassuringly. 
"Don't worry, Archer. I'll get the win in our next match. We got this!" Finn said, triumphantly.
Adora hung back and thought to herself. "That energy from Kazari. It's faint, but it felt like...havok..."
Next Match- Team Grayskull's Finn (They/Them) vs. Team Junga's Cymbol (He/Him)
While Cymbol was already in the ring as Finn confidently walked to the ring, limbering up as they went down the ramp. "You got this, Finn!" Catra yelled out." This is it, Finn," Juliet mused. "Time to show them with it means to be the son of a She-Ra. Make us proud..."
Finn and Cymbol bowed to the ref, then to each other. As the two went to their corners, the ref signaled for the bell, prompting Finn to launch forward, dodge an extendo arm attack, and nail Cymbol in the face, knocking him out immediately. Finn prepared another attack, but the referee stopped them as doctors checked on their opponent.
"Ladies and gents. Cymbol is unable to continue, therefore, the winner via knockout is Finn," the ref declared.
"Wowzers! Talk about a reversal of fortune! Finn has carried their team to a KO-Victory. We will take a short break, but we'll right back with the action.
Locker Room
Kazari watched the monitor in awe at the power that Finn had just displayed. "Man, that Finn is gonna be hard to beat. Hopefully my body can keep up," she said.
UP NEXT
TEAM GRAYSKULL'S FINN (They/Them) VS. TEAM THENIA'S SHRUMO (He/Him)
While Shrumo was already in the ring, Finn slowly walked to the ring, determined to make Shrumo acknowledge them, as well as Team Grayskull. They knew it would not be a cakewalk. Shurmo was much bigger than Finn, but Finn was the product of She-Ra's semen; they wouldn't go down so easily either. It was to show the world the sheer power of the son of She-Ra and student of Juliet.
"Let's go, Finn. You got this!" Adora cheered. Finn got up on the top rope and pointed to Adora and Catra. The crowd also seemed into it as they showed in the large swell of cheers. Finn stared down their opponent as the ref called for the bell.
Finn rushed in for an attack, but was met with a myriad of german suplexes followed up by a multitude of devastating suplexes. If these attacks were doing any damage, Finn hardly showed it as they just got up and kicked Shrumo in the face, sending him to his hands and knees. Acting quickly, Finn traversed up the top rope and curb stomped the santhexian into oblivion before pinning him. The ref counted; 1...2...3...
"The winner of this match...Finn.
Finn lifted their hands in victory. Adora and Catra were very proud, and rightfully so.
Later on...
Maila circled around her opponent from Team Xexalla.  In the skybox, Seahawk was cheering wildly while Mermista was more reserved..
Malia hooked her opponent's inner thigh, rolled through and transitioned into a superkick for the win.
Team Grayskull's Iyexi (She/Her) VS. Team Corona's Bret (He/Him)
Some time later, it was Iyexi's turn to fight. This was an important match, because if she won this bout, Team Grayskull would move on to the semi finals. It won't be easy, her opponent from Team Corona was a stoic looking bear of a boy named Bret. The 13 year old half-spacebat was not afraid in the slightest however. Iyexi simply needed to use basic math and geometry. At the ring of the bell, Bret charged at Iyexi, so Iyexi ran backyards used Bret's momentum against him to slam him into the turnbuckle. Grabbing him by the waist, Iyexi unleashed a devastating bridging suplex for a close 2 count, but Iyexi planned for this. Springing to her feet, Iyexi caught Bret with a roundhouse kick to the head. It was quite ironic that in some communities, the middle rope was called 'Bret's Rope', because Iyexi finished off Bret with a split legged moonsault from bret's rope for the win.
UP NEXT
Kazari, Unaffiliated (She/They) VS. Team Express' Jack (He/They)
Kazari was in the similar situation to Iyexi. This was a must win for her if she wants to be in the semi-finals. Jack was faster than Kazari had anticipated, clipping her with many elbows and forearms. Kazari was eventually forced back into a corner. As the magicat gritted her teeth, she knew what she had to do. Jack advanced to finish her off, only for Kazari to dart forward with a havok infused kneestrike to Jack's forehead. The blow sounded like a cannon blast went off in the stadium.  As all this played, Catra looked the her wife. "I'm getting some serious bad vibes from that Kazari girl!" she said. Adora nodded in agreement. The magicat took in Kazari's appearance, and began to zone out before being snapped back to reality by the other three.
"Mama mia!!! What a knockout victory!!! Kazari moves on to the semi-finals!!!
The crowd was going absolutely bonkers. This was to be expected, since Kazari was the hometown underdog. The young magicat, however, slid out of the ring with a noticeable limp. 
Later on...
UP NEXT
Team Grayskull's Riley (He/Him) vs. Team Gingas' Leosh
Back in the skybox,  Adora looked towards Spinnerella and Netossa. "So, Riley is up next, how do you feel?" she asked. Spinnerella sighed and said, "Excited, but nervous. I'm afraid that Riley will get hurt." Netossa took her wife's hand reassuringly. "Don't worry, Spinny. This is OUR son we're talking about. We've trained him well. He's gonna do just fine," she said. This did little to ease Spinnerella's nerves, but she did appreciate the sentiment, so she gave a warm smile.
Back in the locker room, Kazari sat on the bench as doctors inspected her knee. It was red and swollen. It hurt to bend. "Oh, fahkin hell. My knee feels like it's going to explode at any second. Give it to me straight, doc," said Kazari.
The doctor gave a concerned sigh. "Well, I'm not really sure. With an ice pack, knee brace and an Advil, you might be able to get midway through the semi-finals at best!" he said.
Kazari looked at a monitor on the wall.
"And with that, Riley scores another victory for Team GraySkull!"
Back in the skybox, Netossa wrapped an arm around Spinny's waist. "Ya see? Told you there was nothing to worry about!" she said. Adora had her head down as the next match started. Juliet went over to her successor with a concerned look. "Take it easy, Adora. It's that Kazari girl, isn't it?" she parsed together. Adora gave a sigh, saying, "Something just doesn't seem right..."
"Listen, try not to jump to any conclusions, Adora. You're not working with a full picture. For all you know, that could just be some random magicat.
Adora glared at Juliet.
"How can you be so calm about this?"
"I'm not, all I'm saying is that we shouldn't make rash judgements!"
Some time later...
"It has been an epic and action-packed semi-final round of the G1 Cosmic Tenkaichi. To think we're only 1 match away from the finals. Who will join Finn in the main event?!"
Adora once more tensed up as more colorful towers of fireworks shot into the air from raftors, along with a trail of pyro that ran up the ramp, and up the sides of the stage. This time, it was Catra who took Adora's hand, calming her down significantly. "It's okay, Adora. It's just the fireworks," she assured her. The moment the fireworks show subsided, the next match was immediately announced.
UP NEXT
Team Grayskull's Iyexi (She/Her) vs. Kazari (She/They)
Iyexi kneeled on the top of the stage for a moment before springing to her feet, walking to the ring with purpose. Hordak and Entrapta couldn't make it, so they had everyone wear welding goggles to support Iyexi. "How cool would it be to win both the Overall and the Grand championships?" said Adora. Retro Adora nodded in agreement. "Yes," she said, "It'll be a testament for this new generation."
As Kazari made her entrance Catra whispered into Adora's ear, "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be as quick as I can." As Catra left, Adora studied Kazari's movements. "Hm. That Kazari girl. There's something off about her. Her movements are more subdued. More...defensive I think. I'll have to pay close attention!"
Kazari walked up the steps rather slowly, much less energetic than before. She did her best to hide the fact that she was in considerable pain.
"Kazari must have some sort of weak spot! I have to find it!"
It was time for the penultimate match of the evening! Who will face Finn in the main event? Will it be an internal battle for the grand championship? Or will Finn face this mysterious magicat? There was only one way to find out. The referee called for the bell.
As the Iyexi and Kazari circled each other. Adora took note of Kazari's stance.
"Kazari's stance is different from before. Her left knee is dragging unlike before. Her right knee is now in the support position. Almost as if..."
"Hey, Adora. I'm back!"
Adora looked to the source of the voice. Much to her relief, it was Catra, but then, she saw that her beloved wife was pale and had a bit of a sweat.
"Catra, you don't look so well!" said a concerned Adora.
"I'm okay, Adora. Just a cough. So, what'd I miss?" asked Catra
"Not much, the match just started."
Iyexi quickly went for a swift kick to the knee, which Kazari had to bend down and block the shot with her hand. Adora took notice of this and looked to Catra. "Look, Kazari's already on the defensive, she must be hurt!" she remarked. Catra nodded in agreement.
Iyexi also seemed to take notice of Kazari's injury as well, quickly going for the bad knee in a pounce attack. Kazari used Iyexi's lowered center of gravity to cartwheel over this, making sure to land solely on her good leg. She was not out of the woods yet, as Iyexi grabbed her in a belly to belly overhead suplex, this time, Kazari was not so lucky as she landed on the foot of her bad leg, sending a painful shockwave of pain coursing up her leg and through her knee. The young magicat hissed in pain as Iyexi advanced towards her. Before Iyexi could land a blow, Kazari rolled back, pivoted onto her hand and mule kicked Iyexi in the jaw.
Using the ropes, Kazari lifted herself to her feet.
"IYEXI! YOU GOTTA THE FINISH THIS RIGHT NOW!!! DO IT!!! Adora roared.
Iyexi was ready to do just that, taking a few steps back to line up a killshot. Kazari however, was not backing down, in fact, just as Iyexi was making a gunshot gesture, Kazari raised her bad knee up with her arms spread out at a 45 degree angle. Iyexi shot forward at with all the speed and power she could muster, only to run into a ROUNDHOUSE CRANE KICK, sending the half-spacebat to the ground with a thud. Kazari stumbled a bit before going in for the pin.
"1...2...3!"
"Can you believe that?! After a topsy turvy match, the main event is now set! Here is the final match up.
Adora was barely able to contain her anger. Not at Iyexi, as she did well, but at the circumstances. Kazari is about to face Finn. Her baby. Catra's baby. It was as if the gods were either playing out a grand narrative, or playing a cruel sick joke. Adora and Catra looked at the screen that now read:
MAIN EVENT
TEAM GRAYSKULL'S FINN (They/Them) vs. KAZARI, UNAFFILIATED (She/They)
Chapter 3: Chapter 3- MAIN EVENT! Finn vs Kazari
Chapter Text
With gritted teeth, Adora looked to Glimmer and said, "Glimmer, get us to the locker room. I need to talk to Finn!" Glimmer reluctantly obliged.
The intermission before the main event was a godsend for Kazari. "One more match," she said. Just one more match to become champion.
Finn, meanwhile, was stretching their limbs, making sure they were as nimble as possible for this important final battle. The magicat suddenly perked up at the sound of Glimmer's teleportation. "Finn? Got a minute?" said Adora. Finn walked up to their mother with a curious expression. "I'm all ears," they said. Adora placed a hand on her son's shoulder and said, "Listen, Finn. Against anybody else, I wouldn't care whether you won or lost, just as long as you do your very best. But against the Kazari girl...something is off about her...YOU MUST WIN! Please, for the love of the gods, you absolutely must not lose! Do you hear me?" Adora said sternly. Finn simply nodded.
"Good. Me, Catra, Bow and Glimmer will be in the front row to cheer you on!"
As Adora embraced her son, Glimmer looked at her friend like, "We are?"
"Will both finalists please report to the ring," the PA System boomed.
"Good luck, Finn!" the two teleported off. It was time for Finn to show the world the power of the new generation.
Glimmer teleported herself, Adora and the others down to the front row as Finn emerged.
BGM-Resistance to Resilience by Reluctant Hero
For what was hopefully the second to last time, Finn's entrance theme blasted through the arena. Their hair billowed in the wind, fitting for the product of She-Ra's semen. After what seemed like an eternity, Finn made it to ringside where they, Catra and Adora embraced. "You got this, son!" Catra said. Finn nodded and slid into the ring and awaited their opponent.
BGM-Metalingus by Alter Bridge
Large columns of smoke enveloped the stage as Kazari made her final entrance of the night. She and Finn stared holes into each other from the rapidly decreasing distance. Kazari limped down the ramp. This time, she made no attempt to hide her bad leg, but she didn't need to. She was filled to the brim with determination, even striking a defiant pose, as towers of pyro shot into the air before completing her walk to the ring. Finn watched as their fellow magicat climbed up the top rope to wave to her dads. It was soon time to get serious as Kazari dismounted the top rope and prepared for the upcoming battle.
The music died down as the two finalists continued to stare each other down. The time for talking was now over. The crowd was nothing short of electric. While Team Grayskull pretty much won the overall championship, the Grand Champion was soon to be crowned based on the result of this match. With the ring of the bell, it was go time! Finn dashed forward with a flying clothesline, which Kazari was only BARELY able to duck. Finn was bombarded with a barrage of body blows, but they found an opening and countered with a monkey flip. Kazari bent her bad knee to give herself enough room to land on her good leg, just in time for Finn to grab her by the waist and unleash a devastating german suplex and followed up with dropkick, sending Kazari into the turnbuckle.
During all this, Micah looked on as the curious magicat fought with a grit and determination he had seen from only one other person in particular. He looked and said, "That Kazari...she has so much potential!"
The two magicats exchanged a few more forearm strikes and headbutts, which Finn won. As Finn rushed forward, time appeared to slow down and a thought occurred to Kazari. Finn was the product of She-Ra's semen. They should be much stronger than this. Finn closed in the gap, but Kazari had the wherewithal to crouch and hoist Finn over the ropes to outside with a thud, triggering the ref's count. Finn quickly got up, but staggered back into the wall. Upon seeing Kazari clutch her bad knee, the gears began to turn for Adora. "Finn!" she called. Finn reluctantly went to the Princess of Power. "I found Kazari's weakness. It's her leg, whatever the magic was from earlier, it damaged her. Attack the leg!" she said. Finn was stunned. Surely, Adora was not feeling any better than Catra. "Mom, no! I know you want me to win, but it has to be the right way!" With the, the young magicat rushed back into the ring with one second to spare! Kazari pointed a finger at Finn in an accusatory way. "Finn, I know you're holding back!" she said. Finn was dumbfounded by the statement they'd just heard with their ears. "What are you talking about?" they asked.
"You're the child of the Princess of Power! You should have a lot more power than you are letting on!"
"You don't know what you're on about! I am not my mother!" I! AM! FINN!"
Kazari raised an eyebrow. "Listen, Finn. I know you probably don't want to be defined by your lineage. I may be nobody special, but I get it! You don't wanna be defined by your mums, but your not them, you are Finn, and whatever power you've received from She-Ra is not her power, IT'S YOURS!" she roared, "Now use it! Show us YOUR power!"
Finn was dumbfounded, they don't know Kazari, yet she had managed to read them like a book! Suddenly, years of " Oh, that's She-Ra son!" or "Finn, why can't your be more like your mothers had flooded to the surface.
"RAAAUGH!" Finn exploded in the multicolored fiery aura! Their power skyrocketed. While their power was nowhere near She-Ra's, it was just enough to make the stadium quiver, so much so that outside the arena, a large piece of the structure broke off and landed on top of a man with pink hair and black dots in it.
Finn was overwhelmed with sheer catharsis of finally being able to let go! "This! THIS IS AMAZING!" they roared. The crowd seemed to agree with thunderous applause. Adora and Catra looked on, slackjawed while Bow and Glimmer's eyes were on the verse of bursting from skulls. Retro Adora and Juliet were both stunned into silence while Kazari smirked.
"That's more like it, Finn. To be honest, I was bullshitting just now! Now, FEEL THE BEAT OF MY HAVOK!" she roared. Kazari knew what the Havok Magic would do to her body, but this was this finals, and against somebody like Finn, there was no way she could afford to hold back. Through great effort, her power was dragged to the surface, kicking and screaming. The gates that contained her power was ripped right off its hinges as Kazari was now bathed in a jagged green, purple and red aura!"
Everyone gasped. "So that IS Havok Magic!" said Adora.
Micah was stunned at the development of events happening before his very eyes. He could barely believe it otherwise! He knew what must be done.
Kazari could feel the strain of the havok ripping her 13 year old body apart, but she was too determined to notice or care. A testament to her intestinal fortitude at such a young age.
The two magicats just went for it. Blow for blow. Each punch was met with an even stronger kick and vice versa. Headbutts ripped through the air like a thunderstrike. Kazari's determination clashed with Finn's innate warrior madness in a perfect storm of power.
Another shockwave blasted both parties back, which means it's for the finish. With the harmonizing battle cries, Finn and Kazari rushed towards each other. Just as the final blow was about to be dealt, Kazari's body finally succumbed to the havok, snapping her leg and tearing her muscles. The magicat cried out in pain as Finn speared her to the mat for the... "1...2...3!!"
"That's it! Finn wins! Finn wins! Ladies and Gentleman, the winner of this match, AND NEW G1 COSMIC TENKAICHI GRAND CHAMPION; Finn and Team Grayskull!
Catra and Adora were ecstatic as the Best Friend Squad jumped the barricade to embrace Finn along with the rest of Team Grayskull. Kazari tried to roll out of the ring, but ringside doctors advised against it. As Artemy and Pigeon went down to try and comfort their daughter, they suddenly met with the last person they expected to see. It was Micah. The former king of Brightmoon said nothing, simply opting to spawn a small compact ball of light, which he pressed into Kazari's body. Kazari felt the energy course through her body, as without warning, her body began to mend and repair itself. Her leg was snapping back into place, and before long. Her body was as good as new. The young magicat was amazed at the feat that the master sorcerer had just performed. And then, he spoke.
"Hey. I'm Micah, and I have a proposition!"
Chapter 4: Chapter 4- Kazari's Arrival
Chapter Text
After an intense action-packed day, it was finally time for the championship crowning ceremony. For their victorious efforts, Team Grayskull was given a large, ornate crystal trophy which was held up by Glimmer, Bow, Catra and Adora. Finn, for being the Grand Champion, was given a big,gold, pro wrestling style championship belt with their personal insignia etched onto the side plates. Finn raised the belt to the sky for all to see. While that was going on, Kazari got to her feet. "Wait, I know you!" said Artemy.
"You're King Micah of Brightmoon!" said Pigeon
Kazari, who had finally managed to regain an equilibrium, went up to the sorcerer and asked, "What do you mean you mean you have a proposition?"
Micah looked at her and said, "Kazari. That was Havok Magic, wasn't it?"
Kazari wasn't sure what to make of the inquiry, but she nodded her head up and down.
"Kazari, you have such incredible power! I think I can help you control, y'know, so your body doesn't fall apart again." Micah remarked.
Kazari was quite skeptical. "Ha! I had no idea the great Micah had a sense of humor," she sneered.
Micah however, was as serious as a heart attack. "It's no joke. I want you to come train at Mystacor, and learn how to better hone your power, " he said.
Glimmer and Adora noticed the interaction between Micah and Kazari. "Glimmer, you see that? Get us over there!" Adora demanded. Glimmer reluctantly obliged.
"Think about this, Kazari," said Artemy.
"Yeah, this is a really good opportunity for you," said Pigeon.
Kazari crossed her arms as if she were in deep thought. "You know what? Fahck it, I'm down. Just call me the Fresh Princess of Mystacor! When do we start?" she asked. Micah gave a hearty laugh. "Well, aren't you quite the enthusiast! Take it easy, Kazari. Since your fathers are okay with it, I'll have a ride for you in a couple of weeks," he said.
Kazari smirked. "Okay, let's go dads, I've gotta get packed!" she said as she grabbed Artemy and Pigeon by the hands, and out of the arena.
The entire interaction was heard by Adora and Glimmer.
Micah turned around to see his stunned daughter and equally stunned Adora. "What? Micah! You can't be serious!" said Adora. Micah simply smiled, saying, "Oh, trust me. I've never been more serious. I've just got a brand new student! She'll be coming to Etheria in a couple weeks. I've always wanted to mentor somebody, this is gonna be great!"
Adora cocked her head to the side. "Right, I'm really happy for you, Micah, and I'm gonna let you finish, but why though?" she asked.
The older man gave a sigh. "Well," he began, "I know you all have your issues with...her, but when I knew her as Light Spinner...she...she was like a mother to me, y'know. I loved her as my own mother. She taught me a lot, and I kinda owe a lot of my power and wisdom to her. I have such great power, which means I have a great responsibility as well, y'know? Kazari has a lot of power and potential, but she clearly needs help controlling and harnessing that power. " he finished. Adora was not sure what to make of what she had just heard. Glimmer however, only needed a few seconds to think on it. "Well, dad, If you think this is the right way to go, then I trust your judgment!" she said resolutely. Micah smiled. "Thank you for understanding, Glimmer. At that moment, Catra and Bow went over to the three. "Yo, Sparkles! Sparkles Sr.! Adora! What's up?" asked Catra. "Well, Catra, Micah, in all his infinite wisdom, has decided to recruit Kazari as a new student of Mystacor!" said Adora. Catra was taken aback, but ultimately took it in stride. "That's...nice," she strained to get the words out, before settling down. "Adora, a word?" Adora went off with her wife while Bow just looked at Glimmer.
"Bow," Glimmer said, "You don't think?"
Mara Island, Two Weeks Later….
Hordak and Entrapta did a damn good job cleaning up Beast Island. Where once stood a desolate hellscape full of horrid man eating creatures, now stands a beacon of liberty and hope….it’s also a pretty nice space port for new arrivals. A small ship flew low, lining up with the strip. Kazari gazed out the window, and the first thing she noticed was a large statue depicting Mara, holding up her sword like the Statue of Liberty. As the ship glided along the strip until it landed and stopped at the terminal. With a look of wonder spread across her face, Kazari prepared to unboard the ship. 
One of the newer members of Brightmoon’s Royal Guard waited patiently for Kazari to find the TaxiSkiff that would take her to Liq’Ollem. This guard was stationed outside the skiff, holding up a sign with Kazari’s name up it. “Ms. Kazari?” the guard called out.
Kazari rounded the corner, bags in tow, then her ears perked up at the sound of the guard calling her name. “Ms.Kazari? Ooh, fancy!” she remarked.
As the magicat loaded her luggage, she looked at the guard and flashed her million dollar grin at the guard, telling her, “Your next line will be: “I don’t get paid enough for this shit!”, and go!
“I don’t get paid enough for this shit!” the guard said, verbatim. 
  Liq’Ollem’s Mystacor District
During the years that followed the Great War, Mystacor moved and became part of Liq’Ollem, and has even branched out into other magic based subjects. This allowed for a greater cultivation of more diverse talent, skills and better benefits for all of Etheria.
"So," Castaspella remarked, "It's a new year for the hallowed halls of Mystacor. Micah, how are you feeling?" Micah gave a nervous sigh, "I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous, but excited. It's my first time being a teacher. I hope I'm good enough," he said. Casta gave Micah a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, you're the greatest sorcerer of our generation. If anyone can lift up these students, it's you!"
"Thanks, Casta. Hey, can you be a dear and go make sure Angie gets the prescription on her meds?"
"Of course,"
As if on cue, the Best Friend Squad teleported right in front of the two siblings. The squad was also accompanied by Finn, Archer and Iyexi. 
"Finn, you, Iyexi and Archer go play, but stay where we can see you. Right now, us grown ups need to talk," said Adora. 
Finn rolled their eyes. "Mom, we're 13, you don't need to talk down to us like we're little kids!" they said indignantly.
 Catra rolled her eyes and Iyexi furrowed her brow, saying, “You know they’re right. We’re not kids, we’re teenagers!” stomping her feet.
"Listen, you three may be teenagers, but you'll always be our babies. Don't act brand new just because you won the championship!" she said sternly. "Same goes for you, Archer and Iyexi. We'll try not to be long," said Glimmer.
 The three rolled their eyes as the two went off.
“Gee, what a condescending twat,” Iyexi remarked.
 “I heard that!” Glimmer shouted before turning her attention to her father.  "So, you think she's coming?" she asked. 
Micah pointed to the sky. "Looks like you're about to find out!" he said as the small shuttle descended from the sky, and landed right in front of the group. The side door opened up and the suitcase came flying out, hitting the ground with a thud. Next, it was the owner's turn to come out, leaping out of the shuttle, Dio Brando style.
Kazari was here.
"Well, and here I thought Double Trouble had a flair for the dramatic," Catra mused.
Kazari looked around the area. "Hm, not bad! A lot bigger than I thought," she said.
"Kazari, welcome to Mystacor," said Micah. "Today is the start of orientation weekend. Go take a look around and see if any classes interest you. After you get settled in, you take a look at the rest of Etheria."
Kazari nodded, grabbed her case and went off eagerly, not before catching the tense looks of Adora and Catra. "Micah, are you sure about this? I mean, just looked at her!"
"Adora, I respect you quite a lot, but I think you're just being paranoid," Micah said flatly. Adora felt a twinge of anger begin to bubble up inside of her like tea in a pot over a roaring flame, but Adora was not a teapot, and luckily, she had Glimmer and Bow to calm her down. 
"Easy, Adora. Micah's right, the only thing we have to go off of is Kazari kind of looking like...her." Glimmer said.
Adora took a deep breath. "You're right. Thanks"
The Queen of Brightmoon smiled. "Of course! Anyti-”
*Cough* *Cough*
“Catra?”
Catra suddenly suffered an intense coughing fit. “Dammit! I need to sit down! I’m fine!” said the older magicat.
"So, Finn," Archer inquired, "Adora seems to be acting really weird when it comes to Kazari."
"Yeah, no kidding," said Finn. "I wonder what that’s about!”
Archer and Iyexi pondered Kazari's performance at the tournament, how quickly she was able to detect Archer’s teleportation movements, but then, a light went off in the half-space bat's head. "Wait, Finn! Maybe she could be what our group truly needs to to do the next level," Iyexi remarked.
As if on cue, Kazari returned to Micah. "Oh, Kazari. That was quick. Do you know what classes you're gonna take?" Micah asked. Kazari nodded and said, "Sure thing, mate. I just signed up for basic history, shop class, construction and art. I wanna spend most of my time training with you!"
Micah's breath had caught in his throat. He was one step closer to being like...her.... It was then that Adora remembered what she and the others had planned. "Oh, Finn, Archer. I almost forgot, Bow, Glimmer, you two wanna do the honors?" she said. 
Bow was as giddy as a schoolgirl. "Ooh ooh...I'll tell them! Finn, Archer, Iyexi. We've decided that you two and the rest of the kids would really benefit from learning some things from New Mystacor!" he said excitedly. Finn, Iyexi and Archer were also excited at the news.
"Wow, for real? Yo! Kazari, looks like we're gonna be classmates!" Finn called out. Kazari looked to the side and noticed Finn. She waved to them. Hey, champ! That's great to hear, can't wait to have a rematch," she remarked.
Finn chuckled. "Likewise," they said.
Archer pulled Finn to the side. "Finn, we should totally tell Iyexi. Kazari might be the perfect addition to our group!"
Kazari heard everything and simply smirked. She'd always had a bit of an ego, but to hear the children of the legendary Best Friend Squad, was gassing her up something fierce. "I'm Kazari. Whatever this little group is about, I'm the MVP. You can just call me the Fresh Princess of Mystacor!"
Micah walked over to the three and placed a hand on Kazari's shoulder. If you wanna pursue using havok magic, I'll do what I can to help with it, but I have little to no experience with such a rare form of magic. I can point you in the right direction, but that's about it," he said. Kazari removed his hand and simply told him, "Well, I actually expected that kind of news. It's okay. I'm Kazari, so I know we can do it!"
Micah was surprised by Kazari's pride and enthusiasm but simply accepted it. 
"Master Micah, I have a feeling we're gonna do great things together!"
And thus, the training began.
Kazari excelled in crafting and wielding, and her havok magic was beginning to improve, slowly but surely. Of course, her training was put on hold so she could return to Xisaeus to celebrate her 14th birthday.
At first, Rose and Iyexi struggled with magic botany and magitech to a surprising degree, given who their folks are, but in time, they were soon conquering their hurdles and hitting their strides, and now, Iyexi was pretty sure she could nuke the sun if she wanted while Rose could make unironic plant golems.
Riley could now keep up with Spinnerella and Netossa. Too bad they still had the experience edge...
Aquajet could only form water whips for a couple seconds before, but now, she could form water aberrations to fight on her behalf, almost like a stand from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Archer originally had a laughably short teleport range, at only a few feet, but now, he could jump whole kingdoms!
Last, but not least, Finn was able to learn to control their strength, and seeing how Double Trouble is their auncle, they've also become something of a theater kid.
And so, the days that passed into weeks.
The weeks became months.
The months turned into years.
Soon, five whole years had passed
Chapter 5: Chapter 5- The New Best Friend Squad Part 1- Desert Flower
Chapter Text
"Finn, Archer, Iyexi. We're so proud of you. Hard to believe you three are in year 3 now!" said Glimmer. "It seems like it was just yesterday that we were changing your diapers," said Catra, who seemed a bit paler than usual. Adora was standing behind her, tearing up with pride. "Oh, Catra. Our baby  is growing up so fast! she said with a sniffle. The older magicat rolled her eyes. "Dear Gods, Adora. Pull it together," she snarked. Speaking of magicats. Kazari leaped in through an open window. "Yo, Finn!  Did you tell your folks the the news?" she asked. 
Adora raised an eyebrow. "Finn? What's she talking about? she asked, her heart beating in her chest. "Kazari wrapped their arms around the necks of Acrher, and her fellow magicat, Finn. "Adora, Catra, Glimmer, Bow. Say hello to the New Best Friend Squad!"  she said. While Bow and Glimmer gushed, Catra was just thoroughly amused while Adora felt like she was just punched in the heart. "New... Best Friend Squad?!"
Back in the present, Kazari, now aged 19,  wore a weighted vest and weighted ankle braces as she ran on a one ton hamster wheel until a red light turned on, allowing to hop off and run to the next station. Micah looked on proudly as Kazari moved on to a shoulder press.
 “10 reps, Kazari! You are half a second behind. You got this!” Micah cheered. 
Kazari nodded as she finished the 10th rep and moved on to the final obstacle, a large warped wall. The magicat took a deep breath as she approached the wall. Her ankle braces and vest were dragging her down, threatening to drag her through the ground, but this was not about gravity, it was about drive, it was about power, she was hungry, she devoured. Kazari had put in the work, put in the hours, and now, she was ready to take what’s hers! And that….is mastery of her power, just a few short months ago, she couldn’t really go over 10% without ripping and tearing her muscles to shreds, now, she could use 15% without much issue! With one final push, Kazari bound up the warped wall, havok coursing through her body, and smashed the actuator, lighting up the red light. The redhead wiped the sweat from her brow as Micah stopped his watch. 
“Kazari, that was your fastest time yet!” he said. 
Kazari leaped down with pride as she kissed her bicep. “Well, I had the best teacher in you. Master Micah!” she said with a wink. 
Micah’s breath caught in his throat. He tried to open his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Angella’s arrival. “I’m here, love,” she said, giving Micah a peck on the cheek. 
“Hey, Angie. How was your flight?” 
“It was quite therapeutic, thank you, love!” Angella looked at Kazari, then said to Micah” I see Kazari, is being put through her paces, how about I put you through yours?” 
Micah blushed, cheeks turning as red as his student’s hair. 
Kazari smirked, as she knew what was about to go down. As Angella hoisted Micah into a bridal carry, he told Kazari, “Kazari, be a dear, I’m sure your friends are waiting for you, better not keep them waiting!” 
Kazari shed her braces and vest, telling them, “Okay, have fun, you two,” before running off to the showers. Rounding a corner, Kazari raced down the hallway, clad in sports bra and shorts, excitedly humming to herself, until she came to a screeching halt in front of the woman before her. The woman looked at Kazari with judgemental disdain. 
“Kazari…”
“Ohren…”
The two stared each other down for what seemed like an eternity, but it was Ohren to speak, “Kazari, you’re smelly,” she said. 
The magicat rolled her eyes and simply told her, “Well, I was just about to hit the showers… actually, I’ve been meaning to try out a new wardrobe!”
Liq’Ollem, outside the New Mystacor region, 20 minutes later.
Finn paced around, waiting for Kazari. Archer and Iyexi watched them, curiously. “Kazari’s training has really intensified lately, I hope she got through it okay,’ they said. 
“Finn,” said Archer, “calm down, Kazari is a tough girl. She can handle anything Micah throws at her. 
“He’s right, y’know. Finn, Kazari is gonna be fine. Plus, she said something about wanting to debut her new look, I’m curious as to what it’s gonna be! She says it’ll be her best look, I’ll be the judge of that,” Iyexi remarked.
“Ditto,” said Archer.
"Damn, Finn and Iyexi. Since when were you two fashion critics?"
The group turned around to see a newly styled Kazari at the top of the steps. Her hair had grown out past her shoulders, and now she wore a magenta top with a red jacket with orange stripes, a yin-yang symbol emblazoned on the side. Her forearms were now covered with sports tape, and tail wrapped around her waist like a belt.
Tumblr media
“Damn, Kazari! That really is your best look!” said Finn. 
Kazari chuckled to herself, saying, “Of course it is, this is ME we’re talking about. I am the Fresh Princess of Mystacor!”
As the four shared a hardy laugh, Rose walked up to them. 
“Hey, everyone. Are you ready?” she said, “You guys promised you’d help me out.” 
Iyexi went up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Rose, when have we ever let you down?'' she asked. 
Rose simply stared at the group with a deadpan expression. “Over the past 5 years, of all the kids, Rose was the one who underwent the most change. She now wore a black bra covered by a mesh midriff with black waist high jeans and black lipstick. Also, she’s going through an emo phase. 
Kazari walked down the steps, gingerly asking, “So, remind me. What’re we helping out with?” 
Rose rolled her eyes. “Wanna know why I’m having the emo phrase right now, despite being Scorpia and Perfuma’s daughter? Kazari, shortly before you came along, mom decided it was a good idea to hold something called the Unity Festival, basically, every year, she takes everyone in Plumeria, who is 18 or older, and lets call a spade a spade, she organizes a massive orgy. The bitch really takes her free love seriously,” she remarked. 
Kazari tilted her head. “An orgy you say? I’m 19, do you think I could-”
“NO! DON’T YOU DARE!” Rose roared.
Kazari narrowed her eyes. “Right…so…whatcha need us for?” she asked.
“Both my moms are busy setting everything else up, so they tasked me with collecting a special cactus found in the Crimson Waste. I need her help gathering it!”
Archer perked up, saying, “Oh, maybe Huntara could help us, Finn!”
Finn beamed.“YAY! MY REAL MOM!” they said. 
Rose raised an eyebrow at this statement, saying, “Uh…Finn….should I be concerned? 
Crimson Waste
The Crimson Waste has changed quite a bit over the past 25 years. With new technologies and help from the various kingdoms, life then and life now was night and day, even boasting a new transit system!
Archer got pretty damn good at teleporting, so it was no issue to teleport everyone to the Waste. Finn took in the scent of the rustic air of the Crimson Waste. Y’know, Kazari, I’ve always considered the Crimson Waste a home away from home,” they mused.
Kazari raised an eyebrow with a chuckle. “Well, given that you’ve literally just called that Huntara lady, you ‘other real mom’, I believe ya!” she remarked.  
“Well,” Rose piped up, “In any case, we gotta move quickly, since we don’t wanna keep moms waiting! Finn, take the lead!”
Finn nodded and said, “We actually do need Huntara’s help, as according to the grapevine, apparently the Waste has been going through some changes as of late. We need to get our basis down before we do anything.”
Rose nodded as the five linked up. 
“Archer, you know what to do!” 
Archer nodded, saying, “Next stop, Hunatra’s hut!” before fucking them all off to Huntara’s 
Valley of the Lost
The warrior of a Crimson Waste was busy pumping iron, clanging and banging. As she hoisted the bar bell over her head, the squad teleported in, starling the brute, causing her to drop the barbell, narrowly missing her foot, which was good, because the last thing anyone wanted was another ‘Paging Dr. Drake’ situation. 
“Hi, real mom!” Finn shouted.
Huntara quickly calmed down when she realized that it was Finn’s voice.
“Ah, Finn. What brings ya here?” Huntara asked. 
Finn rubbed the back of their head, saying, “Well, we’re actually here for Rose!”
The Scorpion-Flower princess walked forward. “Hey, Huntikins!” she said with a forced smile, to which Huntara met with a grimace. 
“Rose, I am gonna kill your mothers. So, what do you need my help with?” the desert warrior asked.  
Rose pulled out a mini-tablet and showed Huntara the Cactus. “It’s called a Cyclone Cactus, legend says, it’s a rare cactus that was created during a freak storm. Apparently, it has sprouted in the Valley of the Lost, we’re gonna need your skiff. Archer can’t teleport since he doesn’t have an exact location. I, being half-Perfuma, can sense the general range. Also, it’s supposed to be pretty large, which is why we need the skiff,” Rose explained. 
Huntara sat down and tapped her chin contemplatively. “Wow, a cactus, huh? And you’re Perfuma’s crotch goblin? Go figure!” the warrior tossed the keys to Finn, telling them, “Finn, you’re in charge! I’d better not see ONE scratch on that fucker! And by the way, there have been reports of an incoming sandstorm! From the sounds of it, it’s gonna be a massive one, so move quickly!” 
Crimson Waste Outer Desert…
The five piloted Huntara’s skiff over the sands of the desert. One the back of the skiff were several large crates secured on the back. Rose was sitting in intense concentration. Kazari looked at the scorpion-flower and asked, “Rose, are you good?” to which Rose replied with, “Yeah, I tryna sense the general location of vegetation!”
“So, how will you know where the cactus is?” asked Finn.  
Rose gave a halfhearted chuckle. “What, Finn. Since I know what most plants feel like, I just gotta feel for whatever isn't familiar, that’s when we’ll- THERE!” she shot up and pointed eastward. 
Finn nodded and sharply turned the skiff eastward, nearly causing everyone to fall over. The skiff shook, rattled and rolled, but this was Huntara’s skiff, it loved this! Lived for this!
“Just beyond this next dune!” Rose said, prompting Kazari to shout, “FULL SPEED AHEAD!” 
Finn was more than happy to oblige, powering the skiff to full power as it leaped over the dune, getting some wicked air before with the grace of a ninja gazelle. Suddenly, the half-magicat pulled the skiff to a screeching halt.
“What’s wrong, Finn?” asked Iyexi. 
Finn pointed to the offending sight before them. There were two large gangs standing in front of a cave, over on one side, there stood a husky reptilian woman of dark red complexion, named Fang Ripper, and over on the other side, there was an equally husky man of a dark blue complexion, this was Mantanna.
“So, tell me, Fang Ripper,” said Mantanna, did you really think your daddy, Tung Lasher’s gang could beat my joint?” 
Fang Ripper’s eye twitched angrily. “The fuck you say, ya wanker?!” 
To make matters worse, the cacti were at the base of a nearby cave, but standing in the way were two dangerous gangs ready to rip each other apart!
Finn gritted their teeth, saying, “This is bad, it looks like a full on gang war is about to erupt!”
Suddenly, and without warning Kazari, removed her jacket and tossed it to her fellow magicat. “Finn, hold my jacket, this won't last long!” she said. 
Before anyone could say anything, Kazari leaped from the skiff, and walked up to the two gang leaders. 
“Hey, you two! Take this somewhere else,” the magicat shouted. 
The two gang leaders stared a hole into Kazari. If looks could kill, Kazari would die a hundred times over! 
“Kazari, please be careful!” said Archer.
“Damn it! What’s Kazari doing?!” said Rose. 
“She’s gonna get fucked up, if not just killed out right!” shouted Iyexi. 
Finn just stood stoically, carefully watching the action that was about to unfold! 
Fang Ripper got all up in Kazari’s face and said, “So punk, you wanna be a hero?”
Kazari simply answered with a smirk, telling her, “For one of you, the next line will be why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong? And go!”
And verbatim, it was Mantanna who went, “Why are you sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong? HUH?!”
Fang Ripper quickly reached into her pants pocket, but Kazari quickly cut her off, telling her, “If you’re looking for your dagger, check your long coat pocket!”
Fang Ripper did that, and sure enough, the dagger was there, much to the gang leader’s shock.
“Your next words are: What’re you, a mind reader? And go!”
And just like clockwork, Fang Ripper uttered the words, “What are you, a mind reader? FUCK! HOW?!”
Kazari smirked, telling Fang Ripper, “I can tell that the blood on your jacket is not yours! And I also see the marks in your palm!” she explained.
Mantanna started laughing his ass off. “Damn, the bitch made you look like a fool! Well, an even bigger one! HA!”
Kazari narrowed her eyes, saying, “Dafuq are you two laughing at? Nobody calls me a bitch without my consent!” and thus, she uncoiled her arm tape, wrapped it around the two gang leaders, and zapped them to kingdom come using her havok, rendering them both out cold. As she put her tape back on, Kazari couldn’t help but notice her forearm was starting to bruise up! 
“Damn it!” she muttered, “Now, your leaders will be fine! Take them and piss off! There’s a sandstorm approaching!
The gangs did not argue, grabbing their respective leaders and pissing off to wherever they came from. 
Kazari turned back to the group. “Okay, everything is clear!” she shouted. Archer and the others linked up and teleported to the magicat, as Archer placed a hand on her shoulder and told her, “Y’know what? I’ll never doubt your judgment again!!”
Kazari winked at the twink, saying, “Was there ever any doubt, after 5 years you should know that I- WHOA!” she suddenly tripped on something protruding out of the sand. Kazari rubbed her bottom as Finn helped her up and handed her her jacket. “Kazari, are you alright?” 
The redhead sprang to her feet and put her jacket back on, giving Finn a thumbs up. “Yeah, I’m fine. But, did I trip on something?” The magicat looked down to see what she tripped over, and kneeled down to get a closer look. When she pulled it out of the ground, her eyes widened to the size of saucers! What she pulled out was what appeared to be the dark purple and neon green ram’s head. “Woah! Is this what I think it is? Finn, guys, check this out!” she called out. 
They went to the magicat to, and Finn was the one to speak. “Kazari! I heard about that! That’s a piece of a havok staff! My uncle, Adam, told me about some dude named Skeletor. That guy used a havok staff. It’s used to channel havok magic. Kazari, you could use this somehow!” 
Kazari tapped her chin curiously. “Hey, I got a history report coming up, I can use this for that!” 
Rose rolled her eyes, moaning, “Yeah, cause that totally won’t backfire on you sooner or later! Kazari, that’s a havok staff, that thing could be dangerous!”
Kazari shrugged, firing back with, “Well, not as dangerous as being out here with a sandstorm brewing!” As if on cue, a sudden gust of wind blew by! “Uh-oh, speaking of which, we better move, and quick!” 
Everyone grabbed the crates and ran to the base of the nearby cave, where a large patch of cacti sat with iridescent spiral patterns. They were kinda pretty. No wonder Perfuma wanted them for her Unity Festival, but there was no time to admire their beauty. Rose, pressed the ground with a glow of the hands, allowing the cacti to lift out of the ground and into crates. After a while, the crates were filled and loaded up onto the skiff. 
Rose wiped the sweat off her brow. “Thanks guys,”  she said. 
Iyexi placed a hand on her shoulder, telling her, “Of course. We’re the Best Friend Squad after all! Right, Finn? Finn?"
"Catra, it's your fault Finn is so rude to us!"
"Me?!"
"Yes you! They get it from you!"
"I beg you fucking pardon?!"
*Snap* *Snap* HEY! ETHERIA TO FINN!" Iyexi shouted, stunning to half-magicat.
"Huh? Shit, I'm sorry, I dunno, I think I just zoned out! Dunno what came over me!" Finn said, cheeks turing as red as Kazari's hair!"
Iyexi activated her visor to run the numbers, and gave a sudden gasp. “Guys, that sandstorm is gonna hit in about 30 minutes! We’ve gotta move!” she shouted. 
“Go! GO!” Kazari boarded the skiff with everyone else and quickly took off!
Back at Huntara’s hut…
Huntara laid in bed, with some sleeping, naked broad she met in a bar the other day, clinging on to her. The warrior looked out her window as the sandstorm flew by, blanketing the Waste with brown clouds of dust! 
“Oh shit! Huntara exclaimed, “I hope those kids made it out okay!”
As if of cue, Rose, Kazari, Finn, Archer and Iyexi teleported into the hutt, crates in tow, and covered in dust. Rose rolled to her feet, coughing up some dust, saying, "Mission…accomplished!” with a shaky thumbs up!
Plumeria Festival Grounds…
“Thanks, guys!” said Perfuma. Rose nodded in response. The flower princess turned to the others, and said, “Hey, you guys are over 18, right? Wanna come to the festival?” 
Rose desperately suppressed the urge to smack her mother right then and there as her cheeks were as red as the splotches in her hair. Kazari saw this and decided to quickly change the subject. 
“So, Perfuma, what’re the cacti for anyway?” she asked. 
Perfuma beamed as she pointed to a stage. “It was requested by Castaspella, she’s actually gonna perform at the Unity Festival, so we’re using cacti as stage decorations, speaking of which, Kazari. I could use your opinion? We’re gonna decorate with flowers as well. Which flowers are best?” she asked. 
Kazari tapped her chin contemplatively before settling on…”Daisies…I’ve always found them cheerful!”
