Chapter 9

"I love you Perfuma" Scorpia whispers at what she assumes is a sleeping Perfuma. Perfuma however gasps and looks up at Scorpia with wide eyes. Scorpia awkwardly coughs. "Aw gee, would you look at that you were a awake this whole time." Scorpia scratches the back of her neck while chuckling. "I love you too." Scorpia's eyes widen, before she captures Perfuma's lips for a kiss.

Scorpia wakes up gasping for air. That's the third night in the row she has dreamt of people she doesn't even know. She also can't help noticing this odd electrical currents at the tips of her pinchers. She sighs and gets up taking a walk through the beautiful kingdom, more memories seeming to strike up in her mind. She bumps into one of the residents of the kingdom. "Oh sorry Trix!" Scorpia says without even thinking about it. Trix's eyes widen, she's flabbergasted by the fact that Scorpia knows her name, she quickly bows. "No it's my fault princess." Scorpia waves her pinchers around dismissively as she chuckles. "No seriously it's my fault." Another headache comes along as she remembers something else.

"I am so sorry!" Trix yells while tears prick her eyes as someone stands over her, after shoving her to the ground. Seven year old Scorpia runs over. "Hey leave her alone!" The kid runs immediately at the sight of the princess. Scorpia helps up Trix. "What did I tell you about standing up for yourself Trix?" Trix apologizes awkwardly.

"What did I tell you about standing up for yourself?" Trix is left shell shocked. The whole kingdom was informed about the memory wipe, so seeing Scorpia remember her was surprising to say the least. "Right sorry Princess." Trix smiles. Scorpia nods and keeps scratching her head confusedly. "How do I know her name?" She whispers to herself as she walks off. Trix immediately rushes off to Head of the council. She knocks quickly. Katherine opens the door her hair messy. "Miss" Trix bows. "I have some news that might interest you."

Katherine brings Trix in and listens closely to her words. "Perhaps since she is connected to this land and Etheria by the runestone, her memories might be easier to recover. We just need to get her to that runestone." Katherine whispers more to herself, Trix hums in understanding. "I must inform Commander Glimmer at once. We still need to attempt to get Scorpia's parents out of the safe room before they pass away, I am sure they would wish to see Scorpia one more time." Trix nods again awkwardly. "Can you go find Gunter for me?" Trix nods quickly before bowing once more, she can't believe she is basically helping the council, who would've thought? "Yes Ma'am" she rises from the bow and rushes off. Katherine on the other hand messages Glimmer, as she paces. She wonders how they can return the others memories to them.

"Adora! Stop it." Glimmer yells frustratedly as she unpacks Adora's day trip bag for the third time. Adora wasn't listening, her mind was focused on only one thing. Catra. She is back. They all are back and they have to save them. Glimmer groans and teleports Adora to Brightmoon. Adora glares at her quickly. "Glimmer! I need to go there right now!" Adora says frustratedly.

Glimmer glares at Adora. "Did you forget the part where they are all brain wiped! They don't remember us Adora!" Glimmer looks down, her face scrunched. "They wouldn't even recognize us...our only bet is to work out a better plan." Glimmer holds in her tears as she clenches her fists, letting anger take over. She will be the one to take out Lord Prime if it's the last thing she does. Adora scoffs and glares at Glimmer. "Oh yeah what plan!? You have some sort of memory re-re-enstator!" Glimmer thinks as she paces, her transmitter buzzes. Glimmer glances down at the message, she gasps. "Adora look at this!" Adora reads the message from Katherine, she looks to Glimmer with wide eyes. Glimmer quickly messages that they need to have an emergency alliance meeting.

"What's this about?" Mermista asks as she enters the room. Glimmer waits for everyone to be seated. "I have a plan. Unfortunately it-" she looks down and grips the table tightly. "It revolves around Scorpia only" Adora quickly stands up. "What?" She all but growls out. Glimmer stands as well and meets Adora's eyes head on, tears in her eyes. Adora's eyes widen as they stare at each other. Words seeming to be spoken through their eyes. "As I was saying" Glimmer looks away from Adora. "Scorpia's memories are coming back, Katherine believes if we can get her to her runestone her memories might just return and we would have an advantage over this war, and maybe" she looks back at Adora quickly. "Maybe Scorpia will be able to help us get everyone's memories back, if there is even a slip up from any of them, I swear we will do everything in our power to bring them back, but right now only Scorpia's memories are slipping because she has a connection to Etheria. We have to take advantage of this." No one utters a word, the silence thick as everyone processes what Glimmer just said.

"Or we could be giving a memory wiped princess her powers back and giving Lord Prime a bigger advantage." Adora says. Glimmer nods and looks down as she gulps. "Its a risk we should be willing to take."

"What's the plan?" Frosta asks after another silence. Glimmer takes a seat again, Adora following suit. "Princess Prom." Mermista snorts and then looks at Glimmer's serious face. "Oh you're being for real?" Adora's brain was busy turning cogs, as they spoke. "Perfuma you have been awfully quiet, you are the most valuable part of this plan. With your emotional ties to Scorpia you need to take her to the runestone room." Glimmer says.

Perfuma nods. "I am just- I don't- I can't believe we will finally get her back." She smiles, while the tears brim her eyes. Perfuma glances at Adora and Glimmer and feels her heart clench. She will get back her soulmate but they won't get back theirs. "If Scorpia's runestone brings her back because of the connection to Etheria, then wouldn't that mean that, Catra's connection Melog and Adora might just bring her back?" Adora quickly looks up at Perfuma in surpise as her heart rate picks up, the cogs turning in her head faster. Glimmer hums. "Perhaps." Adora nods quickly but then she stands and paces around the room. "There's only one problem. Melog responds to Catra's emotions, there's always the risk that Melog joins Catra's side." Adora says quickly.

Glimmer nods in understanding. "But Melog would know about Catra's memories that's how connected they are and they would remember us, and you obviously Adora. Melog might stay with us and help us bring Catra back sooner."

Mermista quickly stands. "All of this is true, however. Before we start speculating about the others connections and how to bring them back, let's focus on the one person we can bring back. Because if we aren't all focused on one plan things could go horribly wrong." Mermista understands how they all feel, she would stop at nothing to try and get everyone back, but they have to admit this is their best shot. "That's why this plan is so brilliant" Adora smirks at Glimmer, Glimmer smirks right back. "While Perfuma works on taking Scorpia to the runestone room. All of us distract the other members. Adora would be paired with Catra, I would be paired with Bow. Katherine will come down as well distracting Double Trouble. Mermista, Frosta and Seahawk, you guys are on Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio duty. Entrapta will most likely distract herself. So all we need is for someone to keep an eye on her wondering, we'll leave that to her old kitchen staff."

Catra laughs hysterically as she reads over the invitation to the Princess Prom. "Did our enemies seriously invite us to their home base? How can they possibly be this stupid?" Catra continues to laugh as Bow reads over the invitation.

"It is weird that they gave Scorpia so many plus one options, just enough for each of us and one more." Bow says with narrowed eyes. Catra shrugs. "Trap or not Bow, they just allowed us access to them. They clearly underestimate us if they are attempting to capture us."

Double Trouble hums. "We would be able to tell if they try anything, this will be a great recon mission. Who should the extra invite go to?"

Catra hums. "That Katherine lady, if the other princesses see a familiar face it might throw them off. Let's prepare for tomorrow night."
