27 Boiling

 Tigra and Catra were sitting across from each other as Catra seemed to be focused on the flames surrounding her fingers from their bases to their tips, yet her palm remained as brown as her fur.

 Entrapta sat to the side with her mask down and three devices around her while pointing another at the duo, gathering data for one - or more - projects that she was working on. She wasn't driving it at the moment due to having made an autodrive ai into the skiff's system.

 Scorpia leaned against the side, allowing the wind to flow through her short white hair while her mouth seemed open in astonishment.

 Her astonishment?

 Tigra had lightning coming off of her new dark armor. Black baggy shirt that met black gloves. To finish it off, her armor created a black scarf that she could use to hide the bottom half of her face or wear it like a hood. Her form seemed to bend slightly everytime she ran over a shadow.

 Tigra had been using Lightning Armor through her MP regen, Shadow Armor at 2642 - due to her 26% damage reduction from Dark damage reducing it to 1962- of her total HP which equaled her HP regen, and running to get that up quickly. All together, it would allow her to run up to 480 mph, but she had kept herself around 280 so she stayed with the group.

 So, Tigra had been running beside the Skiff for the past hour while already having created a Fire Clone to stay on the skiff and help Catra with improving her fire magic.

 

Shadow Resistance gained 2642 [amount of damage] * 30 [minutes] = 79,260 EXP!

Shadow Resistance leveled up! LV 1 → 19!

[Shadow Resistance LV 19 (2310/8550) - Your body is becoming more and more used to dealing with Dark damage, allowing it to become stronger and more resistant to Dark damage. Current Effect: 19%, 39.25% due to Iron Body]

 

Shadow Armor gained 528.4 [2642/5] * 30 [minutes] * 2 [Genius] = 31,704 EXP!

Shadow Armor leveled up! LV 1 → 18!

[Shadow Armor LV 18 (1104/3600) - Increases [Sneak] effect by MP_Use/82 %.]

 

Run gained 42,000 EXP! 

Leveled up! LV 68 →74

[Run LV 74 (5664/7400) - Increases DEX by 25 + 74 %. SP Cost: 11/m]

For reaching Level 70, DEX and CON increased by 1.

 

 "And you're serious, right?" Scorpia asked in wonder. "You've been running alongside a skiff going 280 mph for half an hour! Aren't you feeling tired at all?"

 "Not at all." Tigra answered truthfully.

 'My Stamina regenerates much faster than I use it as long as I'm not in combat. So theoretically, I could keep running.'

 "Plus, I can use this for training."

 "Are you ever not thinking about running? I feel like half of our conversations either begin or end with you mentioning that you need to run more." Scorpia asked aloud.

 Tigra took a moment to slow to the exact speed of the skiff before jumping.

 She landed in a crouch before standing, her lightning going away as she decided to take a break and talk with them more easily.

 "Scorp, what do you think is my biggest asset when I'm fighting?"

 "Well, you have some sharp claws. Sharp enough that they could probably leave scratch marks on my carapace." Scorpia looked at her claws. "Not to mention your magic. I've read a few reports where you were able to remove a dozen soldiers with a few spells."

 "Scorp," Tigra said. "You're dancing around the main thing."

 "Do you consider speed your most important thing?"

 "Yeah? Speed has always been my thing. Even magic had mainly been learned to help my speed through Haste. I only expanded upon my repertoire of magic as I was finally fast enough to look elsewhere. Then Bolt happened and such, I had to get faster. I did and took down Bolt. Then the almost capture happened and both Catra and I could have been captured." Tigra started to rant quietly.

 "Now, I need to improve my speed or skills enough to stay ahead. I started training with swords. I started training Shadow magic. I've finished with Ice for the main purpose. I need to start planning a training schedule. I need to get myself back in Hordak's good grace. I still need to work on the rest-"

 "Tigra!" Scorpia grabbed both of her shoulders, stopping her. "Breathe."

 Tigra took a second to take a few breaths before she continued.

 "Alright, with that done, I'm going to be serious for a moment. I've seen that you do best when someone sticks with facts when it comes to you." Scorpia took a breath.

 "You are the fastest in the Horde. You can easily out sped the fastest transport in the Horde. You have beaten the fastest person on the Rebellion's side. You traveled nearly 2,000 miles in under 2 hours. You are the most competent magic user the Horde has that is still working for them.

 "Will you get faster? Probably. Will you master your swordsmanship? If you really want to, I know you will. Have you had issues pop up recently? Sure you had an issue with Hordak and with Tyde. But do they matter? You did not know that you had to choose your own missions. You saved Catra, someone that matters a lot to you, right?"

 "Yeah." Tigra's voice stayed quiet, but glanced over at seeing Catra having a smile as the flame over her palm grew in size and she could see her clone having its own smile.

 "If you could go back right now, would you have done something that would have changed the end result?" Scorpia looked her gently in the eyes. "Would you have let Catra go?"

 "No." Her voice grew its confidence back.

 "Are you going to teach the new cadets your skills and make the Horde stronger than it's ever been?"

 "Yeah."

 "Tigra, I'm glad to have you as a friend. While you aren't the nicest, maybe too blunt, and have a one track mind at times…you're also the most dedicated, confident, and trusted friend I can think of. Someone needs help? Distance doesn't matter to you. Someone doesn't get emotions as well as others? You learned how to talk to them so that they understand. A friend needs cheering up? You play a silly game to distract them. I just hope I can be as good a friend to you as you've been to us."

 Tigra stayed quiet as Scorpia simply held her gentle smile.

 "How could any of those princesses not like you?" She whispered in slight awe.

 "Well, you know my family-"

 "No." She cut her off. "You don't judge based on one's family. You judge the person. And you? You're the nicest person I've ever met in the Horde. And while I don't know much about you, that's on me. So you know what I think? If they don't like you, I can't find it in myself to like any of them."

 Scorpia sniffled and that was the first sign Tigra knew what was about to happen.

 A very tight hug that resulted in the woman nearly a foot taller than her lifting her off the ground.

Relationship with Scorpia improved!

Scorpia: [32→67 Family], [57→96 Friendly]

 "Thaymor will be in sight in 10 minutes." Entrapta called out over her shoulder, watching as Catra transferred the flame from one hand to the other.

 Scorpia released her before the two of them walked to the group before the clone turned to fire and drifted off as flames.

 

Fire Clone gained 1150 [MP used] * 30 [Minutes] * 4 [Pyromaniac and Genius] = 138,000 EXP!

Fire Clone leveled up! LV 1 → 28!

For reaching LV 15, Fire Clone can now produce 2 clones instead of 1.

 

Student [Catra] has mastered [Fire] and [Flame]. Total Magic Control increased from 100% to 102%.

 

 'Yeah, teaching over fifty people magic is going to shoot my Magic Control through the roof. That's good because Haste increases with my control. Every 100% of magic control will boost my multiplier from it by an extra 25%. Not much, but even a 1% increase will increase my speed drastically.' She thought over.

 "Hey Catra, let me borrow that book for a few minutes. I've got some more spells to write in it." Tigra explained.

 "Oh? What kind of spells?" Catra asked, handing it over.

 Tigra grabbed a pen from her pouch that she brought along before opening the book and flipping to a new page.

 "I've got a few more fire spells. I'm also putting in my ice and lightning spells up to their armor forms. You should still be able to learn them but now you have a variety of spells in case you get bored with just fire." Tigra listed out for her, already writing at a quick rate.

 "How many spells do you know? I just finished with my second one, at least according to your instructions."

 "Hm." She glanced to the side and saw her spell list.

 

Fire [14]:

Flame, Fire, Heat, Flame Armor, Fanning Flames, Fire Step, Fire Charge, Fire Falchion LV 31, Fire Spear LV 8, Flame Fists, Fireball LV 23, Fire Dagger LV 31, Fire Arrow LV 71, Fire Clone LV 28

Lightning [5]:

Spark, Charge, Neuron, Lightning Armor, Lightning Claws LV 11

Ice [4]:

Flake, Freeze, Chill, Ice Armor

Dark [6]:

Darken, Shadow Mask, Shadow Ball LV 1, Shadow Spy LV 31, Shadow Armor LV 18, Dark Pulse LV 1

Misc [2]:

Haste, Heal

Total Spells: 31

 

 "Well, I know 31 total spells, but I'm only putting 20 in here for now."

 "Why not all 31?" Scorpia asked.

 "Probably because she can't teach all of them, right? The 11 that you are leaving out are likely spells that you haven't mastered and as such, you are not confident enough to be able to properly teach them." Entrapta threw out.

 "Right on the nail. I don't put spells into any of the books I'm writing that I can't 100% explain how, why, and what a spell is doing. To make sure a new spell doesn't have a 1 in 100 chance that could cost someone their life."

 "How long until you can write the rest in?"

 "Maybe 2 weeks? Most of the spells that I'm not writing in belong in the Combat style section. I learn more about those spells through combat than anywhere else."

 Tigra stopped writing before pointing a finger at Entrapta.

 "That's why I needed those bots, Trap. They'll help me go a long way in controlling my magic faster if I have a sparring partner that can fix any damage I do to it."

 "I'll see how quickly I can get them done then. I'll also gain a lot more data on your capabilities of damaging something. I'm curious how much damage was needed to destroy Brightmoon's barrier a while back."

 'Man, how much damage was that again? Wasn't it about 100,000? Then again, I used both arms in that attack so it would likely have been 200,000.'

 "If I were to compare the amount of force to the amount I need to destroy your EKS bots…about 13 times more?" She guessed. "At least that was with the amount of power I used that day."

 "Interesting." Entrapta regarded her with several questions likely going through her head.

 "How close am I from mastering all of the fire spells in that?" Catra asked.

 Tigra went back to finishing a few more spells in the book.

 "You're closer to mastering the Ice spells in this book than Fire."

 "But I don't know any Ice magic?" Catra pointed out.

 "Exactly. You have mastered 2 of my Fire spells." Tigra looked up from the book. "I currently have 14 and I will have written 8 here."

 Catra blinked in what Tigra assumed to be surprise.

 "I have mastered 4 Ice spells, which are going in here. Thus, you only need to learn 4 Ice spells, as opposed to 6 more Fire."

 "How many non-elemental spells do you know?" Entrapta asked.

 "As of now, 2. Haste and Heal. I'm working on a third: Weight. I'm trying to determine how one increases the weight of someone enough that they can't move at their best."

 "Oh? Where did you hear that one from?"

 "Heh, I didn't hear it. I felt it."

 The three of them looked at her.

 "During my time at Tyde, I encountered nearly a dozen spell users that used a spell on me at the same time. The result? I felt like I had a lot of weight on me and my movement felt sluggish. If I had to guess, I could only move about a third of my best."

 "Sounds like Slow to me." Entrapta disagreed.

 "No, I was slow from the weight being pressed down on me. My physical body wasn't being slowed down, similar to how Haste makes me feel faster. Assuming Slow is the counter spell to Haste."

 "From the little information I have on actual magic, I would believe so."

Slow is the improved version of Weight

 

 "So the Rebellion is already preparing against you." Catra frowned. "While I knew this would happen eventually, I had hoped it would be a lot later."

 Tigra gave a light shrug as she started to draw the instructions as they should look like.

 "We all knew this was coming. I'm just surprised that it took this long for it to happen. I'm already working on ways to deal with it. But the Rebellion?" Tigra smirked. "Let's see if they will be able to counter it."

 "All they need is one magic user to counter you though." Scorpia pointed out.

 Tigra smirked as she closed the book, finishing up her few drawings and handing it back over to Catra.

 

Tigra's Personal Book

Fire, Flame, Heat, Flame Armor, 

Fanning Flames, Fire Step, Fire Charge, Flame Fists

Spark, Charge, Neuron, Lightning Armor

Flake, Freeze, Chill, Ice Armor

Darken, Shadow Mask

Haste, Heal

 

 "Not necessarily. While it is true that many would need a magic user to use Weight to remove the benefit of Haste, I've been improving Haste. As of right now, it would take two people to remove the benefit of Haste from me, through the usage of Weight. With Slow, I don't know how much of a difference that spell is."

 Haste originally boosted her DEX by a multiplier of 1.25. However, due to her magical control, it had been boosted to 1.505. Another 0.06, and it would be dead even if someone had been hasted twice.

 They spotted Thaymor and proceeded to drive within viewing range of the town for about three minutes, making sure that they were seen, before heading East.

 "Alright, with Thaymor taken care of while making sure we," Catra gestured to herself and Tigra. "Were spotted, that should get back to the Princesses soon enough."

 Tigra crossed her legs under her before resummoning two Fire Clones.

 "Here's my plan to pass the next…" Tigra paused before turning to Entrapta.

 "10 hours and 47 minutes."

 "Thanks. I'll be having my clones helping you with Fire magic, such as displaying how they look and such in person. Meanwhile, I will be running alongside us to further improve myself and a few spells."

 "What can I do?" Scorpia raised a pincer.

 "Help or talk with anyone here? I don't know your specialty or what you want to improve. Catra's learning from my book, I'm improving my stamina and muscles, and Entrapta's being Entrapta."

 "I can do that!"

 Tigra nodded before lowering her body and dashed forward and jumped off of the ground, applying Haste and Shadow Armor to herself.

 A thought occurred to her before she created one Shadow Spy and left it to stay on the Skiff.

Alert! 4/4 spells are being used continuously! Any more will cause potential damage.

 Tigra continued to move alongside the skiff.

 

*Two Hours Later*

 

 Tigra boosted her speed slightly before jumping onto the Skiff once more, wiping a slight amount of sweat from her head.

 She stopped Haste before applying Chill to herself, allowing the coldness from the spell to wash over her body and provide relief.

Dash gained 300 [EXP per mile] * 318.3 [MPH] * 2 [Hours] = 190,980 EXP!

Dash leveled up! LV (2)44→(2)56

For reaching Levels 245, 250, and 255, CON increases by 6 and DEX increases by 3.

CON: 219 → 226

DEX: 405 → 411

 

[Dash LV (2)56 (14260/17150) - Through dashing, your speed is being increased by 50+224%.]

 

 "Are you done running?" Scorpia walked over.

 "For now. One can only keep running for so long before they want to do something else."

 "Uh huh." Scorpia looked at her with curiosity. "Is that a new look you're trying out?"

 Tigra looked down and noticed that Shadow Armor was still going.

 "No, it's just another form of mine. I'm trying to master it quickly and, through continuous usage, my body is getting used to this branch of magic."

 With a thought, Shadow Armor sank back into her before revealing her regular outfit.

 

Shadow Armor gained 120 [Minutes] * 2 [Genius] * 667 [3348 HP/5] = 160,080

Shadow Armor leveled up! LV 18 → 44

[Shadow Armor LV 44 (2584/8800) - Increases [Sneak] effect by MP_Use/56 %.]

 

Shadow Resistance gained 3348 * 120 = 401,760 EXP

Shadow Resistance leveled up! LV 19 → 46

[Shadow Resistance LV 46 (15270/20700)- Your body is becoming more and more used to dealing with Dark damage, allowing it to become stronger and more resistant to Dark damage. Current Effect: 46%, 59.5% due to Iron Body]

 

 Tigra walked over towards Catra and looked her over.

[Catra.....Age: 18]

[Level: 55.....Relationship: Chosen [Mutual] ]

[HP: 3056.....MP: 112/1272]

 

 "Take a break Catra." Tigra announced. "You're almost out of magic and if you run out, you feel like you've been running an hour past your limit."

 Catra looked up as one of her hands was surrounded in flame.

 Tigra dismissed the Shadow Spy and Clones before two more pop ups appeared.

Shadow Spy collected 2 hours worth of memory.

Shadow Spy gained 600 [EXP/hr] * 2 [Hrs] * 4 [Genius and Book] = 4800 EXP

Shadow Spy leveled up! LV 31 → 32

50 hours remaining for a total time to go through them…15.6 minutes.

 

Fire Clone gained 1150 [MP] * 4 [Pyromaniac and Genius] * 120 [Minutes] = 552,200 EXP

Fire Clone leveled up! LV 28 → 63

For reaching LV 60, you can now create 5 Fire Clones at once instead of 2.

 

 'May as well go through those memories before we reach Cadilia.'

 "Ah, but I feel like I almost got this." She gestured to her flaming hand.

 "Catra, is that Flaming Fists?" Catra nodded. "That's not going to be mastered any time soon."

 "Why?"

 Tigra held a hand to the side before her own hand erupted in red fire.

 The flames went from the tip of her claws all the way up to her elbow and the flames were controlled and almost pressed against her arm.

 Meanwhile, Catra's flaming fist barely went to her wrist and shot away from her hand.

 "Because it took me months in actual combat to master them. However, you do seem to have made good progress. But for now, rest."

 With a huff, Catra released the spell and yawned.

 "I guess I am more tired than I thought."

 Tigra sat beside her before activating Heat, drawing Catra closer to her.

 Catra rumbled lightly before her eyes started to close.

 "This is…cheating…"

 Just like that, Catra was out like a light.

 Tigra adjusted her gently to where she rested Catra's head in her lap and leaned her own back against the railing.

 She created one more Fire Clone before closing her eyes, intent on having the clone be a potential protection for the next 16 minutes.

__________ 

 "Come on Cadets!" Baston, the Academy's Physical Instructor, yelled out. "You were told weeks ago that your performance here needs to be higher than the rest in the other academies!"

 "Yes sir!" Several called out.

 'She' watched from a dark corner as 20 students were jogging around the ring with a certain person in the front.

 "Scarlet! Are you pushing yourself or have you set a comfortable pace?"

 Scarlet huffed. "Little of option A, mostly option B"

 "Keep at that then. Don't push yourself so hard that you can't do the rest of the training today."

 "Won't start now."

 "Trey! Pick up the pace!"

 Trey, who happened to be a human, was breathing slightly hard despite training having started 10 minutes ago.

 Nothing of importance happened for the next hour before the students were released to their next class.

 "I can see why Tigra may have seen potential on Scarlet." Baston spoke aloud, once he was alone.

 He walked away slowly, while continuing to talk.

 "Ever since she met her, Scarlet has pushed herself more than any of her class. Almost as much as Tigra had. Who knows, we may be creating another General instead of a Captain."

 'She' would have continued listening if she didn't feel a pull towards a certain person.

 'She' melded back into the shadows before her vision was cut off.

___________________

 Her vision came back as 'she' was looking at Scarlet talking animatedly with four others with a smile.

 "Excuse me," Someone spoke. "My name's Lukan. I'm looking for the Medic Susan?"

 "What do you need her for? You don't seem injured?" One of the friends asked.

 "Well, I need to be sure that I can do my job, settling the capture of Tyde."

 "We're taking Tyde?"

 "Well, you didn't hear it from me, but Force General Tigra had been sent to capture it."

 "Tigra?" Scarlet's interest seemed piqued.

 "Yes, she's been sent. No doubt that Tyde is a pile of rubble now."

 'Her' eyes narrowed at that.

 "You really don't know General Tigra at all, do you?"

 "Excuse you?"

 "In the previous captures that General Tigra had participated in, town destruction has been at an all time low. To the point that only one or two buildings had been destroyed at worst." Scarlet informed.

 "I think I know my own classmate more than you do. After all, she gave me this."

 He pulled up his sleeve to reveal several claw marks on his arm.

 Scarlet met his glower with her own.

 Her vision cut off again.

__________________

 Her vision came back to find herself beside a giant Catra and what looked like herself in front of her.

 "Fire is mostly about breathing and directing the magical energy inside you." Tigra informed. "While it can be applied for nearly any element that I've worked with, breathing seems to affect fire more than others."

 "So I'll lose any fire magic I'm using if I get my breath knocked out of me?" Catra asked as one of her fingers became enveloped in flames while holding her book in her other hand.

 "If you are on the ground trying to breathe, then yes. If you are coughing, it could still continue. Yet, losing control of the fire spell is more than likely to happen."

 "Is there a way around it?"

 Tigra gestured to herself before pointing a finger to the side.

 'She' looked in the direction to find another Tigra in dark clothing running across the ground, having an idle talk with Scorpia.

 "At this moment, Tigra is using Haste and Shadow Armor on herself. She already used a Fire Clone and is using Shadow Spy," The clone pointed at 'her.' "To know what I am saying and be able to understand what kind of questions you have."

 "Won't she know after you disappear?"

 "No. I only know everything about Tigra and her thoughts up to the moment of creation. Afterwards, I think like her but not identically. Once I'm gone, this 'me' that you are talking to just…ceases."

 "That sounds…sad."

 Tigra shrugged. "No different than the life of someone else. It helps to keep in mind that a Clone's lifespan is from creation to dismissal or destroyed. I don't have a 'life' in terms of years, months, or even weeks. It's extremely rare for a clone to have a lifespan longer than a day."

 "How do you know all that then? Does Tigra know?"

 "She will." She gestured to 'her' again. "The main thing is that us clones have that information wired in. It is so we can be of most use to the summoner. Another way to think about it is that we are programs. We know what we need to do upon 'activation' and we do what we are supposed to afterwards."

 "Well then, teach me to the best of your ability then."

 "Two things for the future." Tigra held up two fingers.

 "First off, Lightning seems to be very conductive with water both ways. As in, Lightning attacks will be able to damage any caster still in contact with water.

 Second off, as it may seem obvious, water is fire's weakness. It is why Tigra doesn't use Fire Armor as much when against someone like Mermista or anyone with water magic. It practically takes a lot more magic to offset the magic that is extinguished from the water."

 "Alright. So I should learn a few lightning techniques afterwards?"

 "For now, stick with fire. I can't help with anything besides non-magic and fire magic. I can help you run or hand to hand, but I can only use fire magic."

 A few minutes passed before Tigra broke into pieces of flames and felt her vision wobble before going dark.

_____________ 

 Tigra opened her eyes again and found the clone sitting on the ground, holding a Fire Spear.

 'Reputation - Lukan.'

Lukan: -57 [Dislike], 7 [Acquaintance]

 'Summary of Lukan.'

[Lukan.....Age:18]

[Level: 19*]

[Reputation: -57 [Dislike], 7 [Acquaintance] ]

Lukan had been a boy who provoked you during a fight. You lashed out with your claws as a showing that one needs to have the strength to back up one's words. After that, you didn't interact with him until you were moved to the next fighting class after a month. At which point, you didn't see him again until the Outpost near Plumeria with a passing glance.

*Last time you had seen [Lukan]*

 Tigra hummed to herself as she thought about all of her interactions with him.

 "He was in my class and I apparently hurt him." She muttered, scratching in between Catra's ears gently.

 "He's also 18. Quest [Find the Rat] reminder."

Find the Rat

While known to have spies in any place when it reaches a known size, you got a lead on a specific rat known as Moonshifter.

Objective: Figure out who Moonshifter is

Reward: 4500 EXP, Spy identified

Clues: 18, injured during the Academy, not on front lines, decade of experience, interacted with them before

 'Seems like Lukan is ticking off all of the boxes. Still, I should probably ask for Entrapta's help with a sudden idea.'

 She pulled out her tablet before pulling up Entrapta's contact.

 Trap, how soon can you create a program that can go through everyone in the Fright Zone and bring up someone based on age, injuries, and positions in the Horde - such as fighter or not?

 She waited a few seconds before a message came through.

 Five seconds. See attached program.

 Sure enough, a program had been attached.

 If it had been from anyone else, she likely would have hesitated since her security isn't high enough that she could confidently stop anything malicious.

 But Entrapta? She doesn't expect to have security high enough to keep whatever she made out for another year if she focused on security.

 She started the program before being asked for search criteria.

 'Injuries: Light. Age: 18. Position: Non-Combatant. Other: Dealt with a Force General in the last two weeks.'

 After another few seconds, the search ended.

3

Lukan Lyle - A Settler after dropping out of the Force Captain Academy and joining the basic Academy. Settled outpost near Plumeria, Thaymor, and Tyde

 

Viola Brace - A healer who had passed 4th of her class. Has been sent to help those involved in Tyde.

 

Weilan Orya - An engineer who had been requested by General Judai regarding a new development about marine travel.

 'Welp, that seems really bad for you Lukan.' Tigra's eyes narrowed as she remembered something.

 'Lukan knew about Tyde. Settler's aren't supposed to know until the town has already been taken so that way they don't blab about it to anyone before the town is already ours.'

 Tigra pulled up a contact simply designated Report.

 This is Force General Tigra.

 I learned some information during the capture of Tyde that should be addressed. I discovered that a spy named Moonshifter is likely Lukan. While I do not recommend capture or elimination yet, I'd suggest watching him carefully, as he has been involved in the outpost near Plumeria days before it fell to the Rebellion and had intimate knowledge of heading to Tyde when it had not been disclosed to the Settlers yet as I had not even reached Tyde by that point.

 Tigra sighed before she closed her eyes and allowed sleep to take her.

________________

 Tigra looked around before finding herself in a room made entirely of red, orange, yellow, blue, and white.

 Across from her sat a dark red being with blue eyes. Behind them though, there was an abstract shape that shifted colors but seemed to like yellow more than others.

 "Come. Let us see if your lineage still burns hotter than I. If not, there will only be one princess of heat and energy this generation."

 "Trust me. I'm not afraid of some measly heat."

 The figure shook as if laughing.

 "Then. I await our meeting, young Py'ra."

 "Young? I'm 18."

 "And I am over a millenia." The figure waved off. "Every living being is young compared to us."

 The walls seemed to shift colors before growing more blue.

 "Seems she's growing more proficient. You'd best continue growing hotter. Otherwise she'll burn your flames until not even your fuel is left."

 The room grew brighter before suddenly white took up everything before a red phoenix cried and flew towards her.

__________

 Tigra felt something shake her before opening her eyes.

 Her clone was shaking her shoulder.

 "Entrapta says we're about 5 minutes out."

 The clone then wafted away as fire.

Fire Clone gained 1150 [MP] * 4 [Genius and Pyromaniac] * 480 [8 Hours] = 2,208,000 EXP!

Fire Clone massively leveled up! LV 63 → 124!

Due to reaching LV 120, you can now create 9 clones instead of 5.

 

[Fire Clone LV 124 (12800/43400) - With this spell, you create a clone with 1/5 of your HP and 1/3 MP but they are only able to use your fire spells. Once they run out of HP or MP, they disperse themselves. Through mastering this spell, you will be able to create more clones every 15 levels.]

 

 Tigra stretched her arms before looking down at Catra.

 She reached down before moving her gently.

 She received a light groan in response before her eyes opened slightly with a questioning look.

 "We're 5 minutes away from Cadalia. Figured you'd want to be awake before Scorpia gets up here."

 Catra leaned upwards before stretching herself.

 Tigra took a moment for her legs to wake up before standing.

 They looked forward and saw it.

 "Mount Cadalia." Tigra muttered. "Final home of the Spirit Ember."

 "Alright. Entrapta will move into place while the rest of us will keep an eye out."

 "Would you mind if I explore the place first?" Tigra asked.

 Catra raised an eyebrow before begrudgingly nodding.

 "2 hours though. That was Entrapta's estimated time that they would be behind us."

 Tigra grinned before holding a fist out, which Catra hit with her own fist.

 "I'll be back by then."

 Tigra was surrounded by lightning and an orange light before vanishing.
