The Rift

Please Do Not Edit

The **Rift** is an underwater prison created for the sole purpose of detaining and incarcerating powerful individuals during criminal sentences. The Rift previously included among its inmates the majority of Team Adora, who were incarcerated following the Princess Civil War for working outside the law but were later rescued by Princess Fader.

## History

### Holding Pellimore Ygryk

After her apprehending at the hands of the Best Friend Squad, Pellimore Ygryk was tried and found guilty of numerous crimes, including association with the Dragon Lord as one of his Dark Ones, and incarcerated in the Rift for her actions, where she was stripped of her tamborita and wand, though permitted to retain her preferred attire, and locked behind a force field in a cell. There, Pellimore entertained herself with reading the books provided, righting her thoughts, caring for a potted plant and playing chess against herself.

#### Catra's Visit

Learning several months afterwards of the great magical power that she had begun to manifest, Catra, unable to find any other source of information regarding her expanding abilities, paid a visit to Pellimore, hoping the captured Dark One might prove a source of information, which she kept a secret from her teammates. Finding Pellimore meditating quietly, Catra refused to respond first, letting the silence span until Pellimore opened her eyes and casually welcomed her, showing no surprise at her visitor and even commenting that she had expected Catra to be her first visitor from the outside world. The Horde defector and the dark sorceress subsequently spoke, Pellimore taunting Catra slightly over her past with Horde Prime and apologizing for injuring her previously, revealing that over the months she had been learning to summon her magic without the need to conduct her magic through an item, which she casually displayed as she asked if the visit was an official one.

The conversation eventually escalated into Catra moving to leave, only for Pellimore to ask rhetorically that Catra was her because she was unable to control her magic, which, when asked how she was aware of this, the sorceress revealed to Catra an ancient prophecy telling of a future wielder of sorcery with the potential to be 'unmatched by any' and her belief that Catra was the sorceress, which Catra initially scoffed at before Pellimore gently nudged her to remember how past events supported her suggestion. When Pellimore went on to speak of what Catra might accomplish if properly trained by someone who understood such magic, Catra realized she was offering to teach her, which Pellimore nonchalantly agreed when asked, telling Catra she simply had to let her out, which Catra was initially against, but eventually resolved to consider moving her imprisonment and left.

After another battle with the Black Army, Catra, who had seen how powerful but uncontrollable her magic was, visited Pellimore again, agreeing to her offer and bringing with her a group of guards who she revealed were to transfer Pellimore into the custody of Mystacor, where she would be incarcerated, which Pellimore accepted with a grin, commenting that things would be about to get interesting to the Magicat as passed, though Catra did not return the smile.

### Princess Civil War

    After the Clash of the Heroes ended, Adora and the majority of her team, who had all been declared fugitives for defying the Sovokian Accords, were captured by Tarrlok Ross and taken to the Rift, which they had been given a lengthy sentence at for working outside the law and imprisoned, despite the royal status of several of them. While the majority of the team were simply incarcerated in cells specially designed to withstand powers, because of their unique powers, Catra and Jörmungand were both imprisoned with extra precautions, in Jörmungand's case, with magical binds that confined her ability to move. Catra, meanwhile, was bound in a strait-jacket and fitted with a shock collar to contain her powers, leaving her reduced sitting against the walls of her cell, the collared Melog and her neighboring friends her only comfort. This experience had a deeply traumatizing effect on Catra, and her teammates feared for the stability of her mental health in such a demoralizing environment. Lloyd flew to the Rift to tell Bow that he believes Adora's story about Helmut Zemo. Lloyd and Frosta landed on the Rift and was greeted by Ross before heading to the cells. As they were heading into the cells, both caught footage of the bound Catra in the cell and the pair were disgusted by how Ross had treated her.

**Adora**: *The Futurist, ladies and gentlemen! The Futurist is here! He sees all! He knows what's best for you whether you like it or not.***Lloyd**: *Give me a break, Adora. I had no idea they'd put you all here.*
- Adora and Lloyd
Before entering alone, Lloyd took out the footage so that Ross and his team couldn't hear his conversations with them. When Lloyd entered the room, he was mocked by Adora, who sarcastically applauded the arrival of "the Futurist", who she announced to her fellow inmates, to mixed reaction, with some turning to face the front of their cells with varying expressions, others not even looking. Adora, who was furious at the imprisonment of her friends and the treatment of her girlfriend, jeered at Lloyd's judgement, claiming sarcastically Lloyd knew what was best for them all, but Lloyd told Adora that he didn't know they would be put there. Since the Raft was built for criminals, Adora angrily claimed that they were all now. However, Lloyd refused to take Adora's bait, casually replying that he did not make the former members of the Rebellion readily break the law, his calm attitude at his former friends being imprisoned enraging Adora, who told him softly of how Catra was facing a crumpling mental state with her continued incarcaration and vowing that, if they got out but Catra couldn't recover, she would end Lloyd's life in revenge, which Scorpia, overhearing, called that Adora would have to stand in line behind her. Lloyd pointed out Adora should have thought of her friends before she led them against the Sovokian Accords and walked off, furthering angering Adora with his dismissal, with the rebel leader slamming her fist on his her wall and warned her friends to watch their back, as Lloyd was likely to break it; emphasizing her anger at her former teammate and making a clear reference to Cole being seriously injured during their clash.

Lloyd then walked past Lang who said that you can never trust a hero, which Lloyd came back by not knowing who he was, while Lonnie jeered at him, sarcastically calling him a amazing role model as her passed her and Scorpia, who reflected Adora's concern for Catra and fury at Lloyd, who's presence she announced gently to Catra, though the Magicat did not respond, staring listlessly down at the floor without reaction.

Lloyd finally then met with Bow. Lloyd told Bow that he believed Luz and Adora and that he needed his help to tell him where Luz, Entrapta and Hunter had gone. Bow told Lloyd about the Dark One facility in Siberia and the Golden Guards which the team had feared Zemo was planning to reactivate and told him to go alone as a friend. Lloyd then left the Rift, much to Ross's suspicion.

### Escape from the Rift

Princess Fader managed to infiltrate the Rift with the aid of Entrapta, Luz and her team where she engaged into a confrontation with the US Marshals. Fader and her allies successfully defeated the Marshals and released Adora, Catra, Melog, Glimmer, Bow, Scorpia, Perfuma, Spinnerella, Lonnie, Kyle, Jörmungand Nassera, Mermista, Hiro Hamada, Scott Lang, Amity Blight, Gus Porter, Tauriel, Scorpina, Sam Wilson, Willow Park and Nagini from custody. She was assisted by Yellow as well.

The escapees subsequently return their lives of freedom, albeit as fugitives, and the team eventually split up, with Spinnerella and Lang eventually making bargains with Ross where they were placed under house arrest, allowing them to be with their families. Catra and Adora planned to resume their crime-fighting lives, despite their current status, after a month or so of rest, the pair wanting time to figure out their relationship at a normal pace, and subsequently went into hiding in Scotland for a month or so at a a piece of prime real estate Catra had purchased in secret through her former contacts in the Horde, wanting a taste of a regular life. Bow and Glimmer also hid out with them in Scotland for similar reasons, although both resumed contact with their families, as well as a shared desire for the Best Friend Squad to remain together. At her request, Tauriel was also dropped off at Scotland, where she reunited with Kíli and entered into a relationship with. Hunter and Luz's band ventured in secret to Mysticor, where they, with the aid of Castaspella, had the subliminal messages the Dark Ones had implanted in Hunter removed, releasing him from the risk of Darkness's control. Hiro and Jörmungand eventually entered into an official relationship and began dating.

Most of the team, however, was eventually called back to action by Fader and merged with Lloyd's Team and the other heroes to fight the incoming threat of the Dragon Lord's invasion.
