(Harry Potter 3 choir tune)
Double Double Toil and Trouble
Shapeshifting acts and castle rubble
Trouble Trouble make it Double
Something wicked this way comes
Good or evil, black or white
Shadow stealth and trick of sight
Male and female need not apply
Deceptive, showy and sly
Double Double Toil and Trouble
Shapeshifting acts and castle rubble
Trouble Trouble make it Double
Something wicked this way comes
Mercenary stalks their prey
Changing their appearance every day
Friend or foe, allegiance none
Watch your back, they’ve already won
Rebellion spy, killer for the Horde
Watch them fight, you won’t be bored
An ever changing identity
Double Trouble fulfills their destiny
Double… Double… Toil and Trouble
Shapeshifting… acts… and castle rubble
Double Double Toil and Trouble
Shapeshifting acts and castle rubble
Double Double Toil and Trouble
Make it Double, Make it Double…
Something wicked this way comes
Hordak was busy working on another device. His pet imp climbed up a pipe from behind him to watch. Hordak grabbed hold of a circular small piece of First One’s tech. He looked at it with suspicion and narrowed his eyes.
“Was this your doing, Entrapta?”
Hordak remembered what Catra had said about Entrapta letting the princesses into the Horde. Deep down, he still couldn’t quite believe it. Entrapta had been his working companion, and dare he say it…an accomplice, certainly not a friend. Catra told him to not trust a princess…perhaps Entrapta was with the Rebellion all this time.
With Catra as his second-in command, Shadow Weaver allying with the princesses and Horde Prime on the move, the stakes and stress had never been higher.
The imp flew around, mimicking Hordak’s low voice: “Entrapta. Entrapta. Entrapta.”
With a yell, Hordak threw the device at the imp, who then flew away with a glare. The device landed on the ground, in front of clawed feet. The one who picked it up…Catra.
Catra looked older, and more confident than ever. Her formerly wild brown hair now flowed flawlessly down her back. Her red cat-shaped helmet sat atop her head.
Catra studied the device in her hand.
She chuckled. “Ouch. What happened here?”
Hordak growled. “The rebels have managed to capture one of our bots. And retrofitted with some sort of search device. They decimated an entire squadron of our machines.”
Hordak turned and used a tool to fix what was in front of him, sparks coming from the tool.
Catra walked over, flipping the coin-shaped piece in her hand.
“Not to speak ill of the dearly departed, but, exactly, how many battles have your bots, lost us like that?”
Hordak snatched the piece from her.
“You’d be wise to watch your tone,” Hordak warned.
Catra smirked. “Aren’t you tired of losing? After all, clocks, ticking. Big brother Prime could show up at any moment.”
Hordak walked forward, Catra stepped back.
“Even you, Catra, should fear being this bold in my presence. I…”
Hordak was interrupted by the sound of clapping. Another figure walked from the shadows…
It was Catra, looking exactly the same. She grinned.
“Pretty cool trick, huh?”
Hordak looked back and forth between the two Catras in confusion.
The first Catra wondered over to the other Catra, putting her hands on her shoulder and smiling.
The real Catra spoke. “Lord Hordak, I’d like to introduce you to Double Trouble. They’re our newest asset in taking down the Rebellion.”
The other Catra morphed into a black shadow figure, glowing yellow eyes, green sparkles against the shadowy body. The shadow figure then gave a dramatic bow and changed to a new being.
A light green face emerged from the dark disguise, long pointed ears off to the sides. They had green and yellow reptilian eyes, small white eyebrows, long blonde hair, and a long tail. A black battle suit with green boots and a green line around the waist covered their body.
Double Trouble spoke in a low voice and stood up. “Apologies for being rude. I was getting into character. Did it work? Be honest. As always, I’m open to constructive criticism.”
Hordak turned around. “A Shapeshifter…impressive indeed.”
Double Trouble moved behind Catra.
He glared at Catra. “Do not attempt to deceive me again.”
Catra just smiled. Hordak scoffed and walked away, Double Trouble still behind Catra.
