Recap

***

The Horde, in desperation of collapse, had managed to make Flutterina their
secret spy through Entrapta's technology of installing cameras in place of the
eye-spots in her wings. They have been gathering intelligence on The Rebellion
and through some good luck had discovered the identity of The Rebellion's spy
amongst their army.

Flutterina found out that she was a Horde spy and was shown footage by the
dastardly Grizzlor who took full advantage of the situation. After breaking her
spirit he had her on her knees in front of him and was going to take his
manipulation a step further when he was interrupted by Entrapta. He got lucky
when the semi-obedient Flutterina agreed to his wishes to have her memory
erased. She came to her senses just as the ritual began and even though she had
changed her mind to having her memory erased it was too late and Shadow Weaver
took the memories away. Flutterina believed she had escaped from The Horde and
was back to being unaware that she was giving The Horde vital information from
her cameras.

CHAPTER 5
***

A new plan was in motion, well a couple actually. It had been a few days since
The Horde had released Flutterina and discovered who the Rebel's spy was. An
off-hand comment about having Hordak statues placed around Etheria had
formulated a method of improving the frequency of the transmitters within
Flutterina. It was more the comment that Hordak statues would be torn down but
She-Ra ones would probable be untouched.

This was the comment that sparked an idea in Entrapta. What if a mysterious
benefactor placed these statues in support of The Rebellion? What if this
mysterious benefactor was actually The Horde who could use these statues as a
way to plant their devices around The Whispering Wood with little chance of
them getting damaged? And so Entrapta had arranged four statues of She-Ra to be
built. They depicted the mighty maiden stood in a powerful pose with her sword
held up high and pointing to the sky. This design allowed the sword to house a
hidden antenna that would send and receive the transmission all around and
within The Whispering Wood.

Within a short time the statues were made and placed in strategic areas chosen
by The Horde, villages that were around The Whispering Woods. They were placed
there by villagers who were paid a nice amount of gold by a stranger who had
disappeared as quickly as he had appeared, leaving only the name Rebellion
Absolute.

The Rebels were initially perplexed by the appearance of the statues but they
quickly came to accept them. Entrapta had deliberately let it slip within The
Horde that there was great disgust about these statues and they must become a
target of destruction and replaced with Hordak statues. She-Ra statues could
help promote moral and The Horde could not have that. Double Trouble had done
exactly what The Horde had wanted her to do and that was to leak their disgust
of the statues.

Flutterina had confirmed to The Horde exactly what they wanted to know through
her spy eye-spots. The perfect uninterrupted visuals and audio The Horde were
now receiving had recorded Adora giving the order to try and protect these
statues. Of course no real attack would come and The Rebels would leave the
statues where they are, helping The Horde spy on them.

With one problem out of the way, focus changed to the other one. And the plan
was already under way.

***

Double Trouble had been an excellent find for The Horde. She was good at
leaking out the false information The Horde wanted her to. They had to give her
enough information to keep The Rebellion happy, which also meant sacrificing
some troops and taking the loss on occasion. The Horde mainly sent out their
elite members to stir-up trouble and keep The Rebels on their toes.

Double Trouble had been called to one of The Horde meetings after The Rebels
had taken out a small troop who were tasked with taking out the closest statue,
with which Double Trouble had given The Rebels the heads-up about. As she
entered the room she noted other Horde members there, infact it was all the
main ones. Hordak himself had not shown up but had left it up to his minions to
sort The Horde's problems out.

"Meowww. Glad you could join us Double Trouble." Catra said welcoming her.
"Please sit." Double Trouble took a seat amongst the other Hordesmen.

One after the other the Horde members took turns to speak about The Horde.
Mainly pointing out they were in deep trouble, that things were worse than they
thought and that not a lot could be done except focus on survival and then try
to rebuild. The last defeat at the statue had taken its toll on The Horde.
Double Trouble was overjoyed on the inside but did not exhibit any of that joy
on her outside. She was happy that her intelligence had led to a huge blow to
The Horde. The meeting continued with little more being said and so the agenda
moved to possible solutions. This was when Catra spoke up.

"We rely to much on the useless troops when we should rely on each other more
in smaller groups. We need better fighters amongst our ranks whilst we try to
replenish troops. Which is why I invited Double Trouble here. I propose we
promote her to our main forces, I propose she become Force General Double
Trouble."

Double Trouble's face dropped. She didn't this. She stood up and opened her
mouth to protest.

"I agree." "Yes, she's been a good soldier for us" and other similar praise
was shouted out by those present.

"I...I don't know. I might not be..." Double Trouble tried to turn down the
offer.

"Please sit down Force General Double Trouble. We thank you for your efforts
against The Rebellion and will start your training after this meeting."
Entrapta spoke over her.

Double Trouble sat down. She paid no attention to the rest of the meeting,
thoughts running through her head as she squirmed in her chair. She had to do
this now they'd announced it or she could give her real position away. Or
should she leave The Horde as soon as she was able, move back amongst The
Rebels. This could be an opportunity too however, being in the meetings amongst
The Horde Elite would give her access to more information that she could leak.

Double Trouble still hadn't made a decision when she heard her name called,
snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Come on. Training starts immediately." Catra beckoned her with a finger, she
slowly followed as she decided that she would undertake the training and gather
intel but if it came too much she would have to elope.

***

"I'M NOT WEARING THAT!" Double Trouble fumed at Catra. She was already annoyed
that Catra had the audacity to change her uniform. 'A new look for a new start'
the cat-woman had said.

"There is barely any material to it!" DT said holding up her new uniform which
looked like a lacy lingerie teddie. "It's practically underwear and it's
BLACK."

"It's not much for now but as you progress through training you can add to it,
personalise it. M-roaw. You act like you don't want to be in The Horde. I could
kick you out now or demote you again! I need you to have shown progress before
our next meeting in a few days. I'm planning something big that will change our
fortunes if The Rebels don't get in our way." Catra said, casting out the bait
to hook her with.

"Y-you promise I can change it and I don't have to go out in it." DT said as
her head dropped. She needed that intel, it could be big, after all The Horde
was getting desperate. They hadn't done much as of late except cause minor
disturbances where they quickly retreated once The Rebellion members showed up.

Catra nodded her promise. DT went behind the screen to change, stepping out
once done. She glanced in the mirror and blushed with embarrassment. "Oh god.
There isn't much to it."

Whilst she was momentarily distracted Catra quickly gathered up the discarded
clothes and chucked them out the door. They would soon be destroyed.

DT was horrified. The teddie-like garment started at the top of her legs,
leaving her long legs exposed from her groin down to her toes. The body-hugging
material followed her curves up to her boobs then turned into string as they
went over her shoulder. She hated the big v cut out that started below her
breasts that exposed her cleavage to the world. As she turned around and looked
at herself from behind she was thankful it at least covered her bum, although a
little bit of each cheek stuck out the bottom of the garment. It also stopped
mid back so her upper-back and shoulders were on display except for the two
black strings that ran down to hold the uniform onto her. Her long blonde hair
also trailed down her back and along the floor now that it wasn't tied up by
her head gear. A little cloth belt was sown in the middle to further exuberate
her curves and right in the centre was The Horde's red emblem. How was she
supposed to blend in and be incognito in this! She stood out so much that all
eyes would be on her.

"Mmwrowl. You look good!" Catra tittered aloud. "Today we work out and if you
do well I might give you to make your first alteration."

Double Trouble was glad to hear something go her way. On hearing Catra's
chance of a reward she put all her effort into her work out. Catra had her
doing squats, lunges, jumps, press-ups and sprints. Anything that got her sexy
little body jiggling. What she didn't know was the eyes that secretly leered at
her throughout from secret holes in the room's walls.

Finally it was over. Catra had worked her hard for over two hours. She was
exhausted as her chest heaved up and down with every breath.

"Impressive" Catra mewled. "We'll make a good Horde soldier of you. I'm going
to reward you with your first accessory." Double Trouble smiled, thankful she
was getting something to start altering

this ridiculous appearance. "Close your
eyes." She did and she could feel Catra moving about behind her, tugging here
and there, and moving her hair.

"What do you think?" Catra quizzed as Double Trouble opened her eyes. She saw
Catra pointing at the mirror and looked into it.

Catra had tied her hair up and upon her head was a black scrunchie that gave
her a high ponytail that started from the crown of her head.

"I...I look like some kind of Mistress." Double Trouble said sourly.

"Yes. It makes you look meaner, especially if we do your make-up right." As
quick as a flash Catra had applied some make-up that gave Double Trouble a
sterner, more evil look. "Perfect! And it keeps you hair off the floor." This
was true, it had been dragging around her whole workout.

"I suppose your right. But I don't think I will keep the make-up like this."

"Your call but it looks really good. Like someone who commands respect. Now go
and clean-up. I will see you here tomorrow at the same time for more training."
Catra dismissed her. Double Trouble left to go to her room for a shower. The
day hadn't been too bad and if she can change this look then maybe she could
pull this off with ease.

***

"Good morning. I'm here for the training."

Catra stormed over to Double Trouble and grabbed her by the jaw, her hand
covering her mouth tightly.

"Yes you are. I am your superior and you will address me as such. This will be
the start of your lesson today. Understand?"

"Y-yes." Catra squeezed her jaw harder.

"Yes Force Captain or Miss Catra or Mistress. I don't care which as long as
you acknowledge my superiority over you. Understand?" She slackened her grip
slightly so the surprised beauty could speak.

"Y-yes Miss- Miss Catra, Force Commander."

"Very good. And don't forget it!" Catra smiled evilly in her face. "Now for
your next lesson. Roleplay. We will go through different scenarios and you will
follow my guidance through them, eventually following them on your own. Ready?"

"Yes Miss Catra." She replied with determination. This shouldn't be too bad
she thought.

"Right. We're heading to the battlefield soldier. Start marching on the spot."
Double Trouble began marching. "Lift those knees higher, tuck that stomach in."
She again followed orders, her breasts began to jiggle more as she pulled her
stomach muscles tight. Catra watched as her costume slid back and forth across
her tight little buttcheeks with every step.

"We're at the battlefield before the enemy Rebellion arrives. I want you to
wave our flag and shout our glory aloud." Double Trouble was a bit perplexed by
this and turned to look at Catra for guidance. "You are holding a big pole with
our flag on it so get waving." She started waving an imaginary flag, her body
swaying and jiggling with each motion. "Now announce that The Horde is here."

"The Horde is here." She repeated.

"What? I can't hear you!"

"The Horde is here." She said louder this time.

"Is that it? We're not just The Horde. We're The Great Horde."

"The Great Horde is here."

"Good. Now more like that. Impress me."

"The Great Horde is here. We will triumph over you."

"More."

"You will be beaten. We will succeed."

"Then what?"

"They will be our prisoners. We will capture The Rebels."

"The Rebel scum. And?"

"Capture the Rebel scum and lock them away. U-use them as we see fit to...
to... advance The Horde. We will own this land." It took Double Trouble a bit
to get into the roleplay but she found the words rolled off her tongue better
as she got into it.

Catra seemed happy with all this, knowing that the person infront of her was
actually a Rebel spy. They wanted to see how far they could push her without
letting on they knew her secret. She was also aware that the beautiful blonde
infront of her had to do similar things in the past, but The Horde wanted to
really push the boundaries.

"Very good Force General. Now the battle has begun. I will give you scenarios
and you shout the orders to your troops. Remember we're trying to win so even
if it's She-Ra don't sound the retreat." The feline villain explained.

"Rebels attacking from the front."
"Troops fire forward. Troop one to the left, troop two to the right. Let's
flank the enemy, drive them backwards. Capture any stragglers."

"Very nice." Catra praised her approach, impressed by the instincts she showed.
Catra ran through more scenarios and Double Trouble kept doing her best with
her orders.

Catra appeared please with the blonde's approach to the training, she seemed
to be putting effort in right to the end. Of course this meant Catra would
reward her whilst making it abundantly clear that the reward was because of the
effort put in.

"I can't have my General parading around bare-footed! You have a choice; do
you want the boots that compliment your look or the high-heels?" She produced
both for Double Trouble to view.

Double Trouble looked the footwear over. The high-heels looked flimsy whereas
the boots were long, at least up to her knees, and even though they too had a
heel on they looked like they actually offered her some support if she were to
walk in them. She sighed and pointed to the boots.

"Good choice. Try them on." Catra handed her the boots. Double Trouble put the
long black shiny boots on and found they did indeed go past her knees. She felt
really tall now. When she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror she was
taken aback by how she looked. A true beauty with a look that commanded
respect. She looked as mean and evil as she did sexy, though her main garment,
the black teddie, seemed out of place now with its flimsy material. She was
beginning to look like she belonged within The Horde.

Her only saving grace was that the current events were only temporary, she
would leak more information and The Horde would be confined to the history
books. The sooner the better she thought, but for now I'll play along with
their desperate plan. She turned to Catra and gave her a salute before she was
dismissed from training.

It was quite apparent to Catra that Double Trouble had a tactical mind,
something that lacked in a lot of The Hordesmen. It was also something that
would be a hindrance to The Horde should The Rebellion utilise Double Trouble
beyond being just a spy. She would report this to the others and suggest that
they try to keep Double Trouble leashed and within their own ranks.

"I can't believe they put me on watch duty during this stupid meeting!"
Grizzlor moaned to himself aloud. "Sat here with a mindless trooper just
because Entrapta walked in when I was jacking it to my Flutterina videos on
duty. Nothing was happening anyway, I was still listening to the spying."

'Flutterina.' The voice came through the live feed. 'Adora needs you to meet
our spy instantly, we just got notification from her.'

'On my way.' The voice of Flutterina replied.

"Crap. She's still trying to feed information to The Rebels. And the meeting
spot won't take Flutterina long to get there. You! Trooper. Keep watch and if
anything bad happens call for backup. I need to stop Double Trouble." Grizzlor
was quickly out the door in pursuit of the treacherous Force Commander.
