She-Ra and the Heroes of Power 1 (She-Ra/MHA)

Welcome to Earth, hope you like it Quirky!​

“You’re sure there’s an Etherian signal this way?” Queen Glimmer of Brightmoon asked for the third time.

Bow, self-appointed ‘Techmaster’ of the rebellion, looked over his shoulder to shoot a mildly exasperated look at his girlfriend. “Yeah, I’m sure. It’s… odd though.” Something about this signal seems familiar, beyond just the baseline readings though.

“Got an alien sibling you never told us about? Or maybe you've figured out how to duplicate yourself,” Catra, former Horde Captain and latest member of the Best Friend Squad, said from her seat with a fake shiver of horror.

Said seat shifted to frown down at her lover. “Catra…” Adora, holder of the mantle of She-Ra, Princess of Power, gave the girl in her lap a mostly unamused look. The feline-esque girl still caught the slight twitch of Adora’s lips upwards at her dark humor. Or perhaps it was just the closeness they could now share, with the war done.

“Oh, I’ve got something!” Bow exclaimed. “It looks like your magical signature Glimmer, but something’s off.” Clearly, as Glimmer wasn’t on this planet but instead inside Darla with the rest of the BFS. 

Adora frowned, clearly deep in thought for a moment before asking tentatively, “Bow, did you ever get any readings on Glimmer’s mom before?”

“Huh? No, not any advanced ones like Darla can scan for, at least. But I do have Micah’s magical signature. If I subtract that from Glimmer’s…” There was a pause in the command room as Bow worked his ‘magic’, fiddling with advanced technology. Entrapta would be really handy here. The genius princess was needed back on Etheria to look after her long absence from her Kingdom. 

And she hadn’t been the most hands-on in regards to running things even before she joined the war. But it’s fine, I’m the Rebellion’s Techmaster, I can handle this… there, got it! “The signal is Angela’s! I’m sure of it!”

“Mom?” Glimmer whispered, reaching out, as if she was close enough to touch her. Tears welled up in her eyes as the news hit her. Hit all of them. Adora and Bow had been close to Angella too, and Catra… had her own guilt revolving around the apparent demise of Glimmer’s mother.

“Take us to it! As fast as you can!” Adora stood up and ordered, before being knocked back into her seat by the G-forces as Darla followed the command without any regard to safety.

“Adora! Wait! If the signal is coming from underground-” Well, I’m not sure what exactly will happen, but I don’t think it will be good. Darla could take things a tad too literally at times. He couldn’t order the ship to stop, however, lacking the administrative access Adora held as a First One and She-Ra.

“Darla, stop!” The ship wrenched to a harsh stop at Adora’s words, throwing the BFS around again as the inertial force overcame the gravitic stabilizers again. They were well within the planet’s atmosphere now, floating above the landmass where most of Angela’s signal came from.

The quartet picked themselves off the floor, groaning from the harshness of it, and they weren’t the only ones upset. The door to the command room sliding open let Melog stride in, the large black cat hissing, its ethereal mane a harsh, spiky, red to show how irritated it was with being thrown about. Catra got off of Adora and scratched their head, calming the cat down, their mane returning to its usual flowing blue state.

“Mreow?” they asked, clearly asking what was going on even without Catra translating for them.

“Sorry everyone, guess I jumped the gun there,” Adora said sheepishly as she got back in her seat. “Bow, do you have any locations for the signal?”

“On it. I- hmm, sorry, there’s a bunch of other noise here.”

“Other mages? Have they learned how to use magic here already?” Glimmer inquired. It had only been about half an Etherian year since they had defeated Horde Prime, destroyed the Heart of Etheria, and released magic back across the universe.

“No, these are all radio and other technological signals. I haven’t seen such bandwidth usage even in the Fright Zone! Sorry, but it might take a bit of time to shift through all the chatter to find Angela’s. Darla wasn’t really equipped to pick between these.” Or maybe Darla had been and we just hadn’t gotten around to fixing that part of their systems. First One’s technology is still a marvel by Etherian standards.

“Any way to speed that up?” Glimmer asked, the tension clear in her voice. The first sign of her mom in years. We all thought she was gone after the portal incident.

“I can crank up our scans,” Bow said. “But it looks like it’s interfering with a lot of their communications.”

“Oh man, I hope the people there won’t be too mad about that,” Adora said. “Do you think their military will be affected by this? Quick, Darla, send out a message to let them know to be calm.”

“Transmitting standard First One’s First Contact message. Transmission sent,” the ship intoned.

Bow confirmed that. “There are a few channels that aren’t jammed by this, those are probably their military ones. It doesn’t look like this society has much by way of space traffic, only a few structures sent to float in orbit, but there’s just so much civilian communication going on. How do they even manage all of that?” Everyone in Brightmoon couldn’t match the amount of communication being sent just from and too this island, even if they were constantly communicating with others.

“But we can pick up on Angela’s signal now, right?” Glimmer pressed.

“Yeah, we can-” Bow began, picking out where the signal was coming from below before everyone was rocked to the side. “What the-?”

“They’re firing on us!” Catra shrieked, pointing at the view screen where missiles were flying towards the ship.

“Evasive maneuvers! Take us in! Melog, can you cloak us?” Adora shouted out, trying to regain control of the situation.

Darla dived down, avoiding a few more missiles, and then escaping the rest with Melog’s illusions concealing them from the rest. The damage had already been done however, with one engine on fire, and the ship already descending, it became clear they were in for a crash landing.

“Aim for the softest spot!” Adora ordered before linking up with the others. Glimmer teleported the five of them away from the ship, almost a kilometer down on the beach where the ship landed with a heavy crash.

“Okay, not our best moment, but-” Adora began shakily before there was another explosion from the ship, the First One’s tech on fire. “Ahh!”

Glimmer teleported them much closer to the ship. “Put out all the fires!” This was mostly accomplished by her, the young mage picking up a bunch of water from the ocean with a modified forcefield and pouring it down on the ship. From there, they got to work seeing what they could salvage.

“So, good news first: We’ve gotten all the fires put out and the engines look salvageable, even with some of the basic materials we can scrounge up from the beach.”

“What’s up with that anyways? I know the Horde wasn’t the best at dealing with their waste, but that was mostly just pollution. Who throws away a bunch of tech and metal like that?” The beach was littered with just piles and piles of discarded bits and bobs, most of it likely damaged even before it was tossed on the shore.

“Don’t care,” Glimmer said, her voice tight and clipped. “What’s the bad news?”

“Well… we don’t have the materials on hand to repair the scanners. Some of the crystals we use just aren’t found in their refrigerators or the like.” Glimmer groaned at her boyfriend’s words.

“We’re so close to getting her back… do you know where exactly she was?”

“No,” Bow said sadly. “The signal came from their biggest metropolis here, but I couldn’t narrow it down further before we got hit. But it can’t be that hard to find an immortal winged woman, right?” He tried to inject as much optimism into his voice as he could.

“Right,” Glimmer declared, clenching her hand in a fist. “We’ll do that.”

“Hopefully without pissing off the natives this time,” Catra said, stretching out some kinks still left in her back. “They weren’t part of Horde Prime?” She asked Bow, and he shook his head.

“No signs of him in their tech or anything, or the signals they used. This planet wasn’t in Darla’s databanks, so I don’t believe the First Ones ever colonized here either.” Bow might not have been a historian like his fathers, but he still couldn’t help but be a little excited at the prospect of discovering a planet that had developed without either of the known galactic super powers having intervened in it. I wonder what this world is like? I mean, they did attack us at first, but they might have just been confused; I’m going to greet them with open arms!

Adora nodded. “Alright then, let’s go to one of their civilization centers and greet them. I’m sure we can explain everything to them and it’ll be fine!”

“Stop right there! You kids are under arrest for unregistered Quirk usage!” A man in a blue uniform shouted, chasing after them.

“Oh come on!” Bow cried out as they ran away from him. Definitely not the start we were hoping for.

A/N: But hopefully a decent start for this idea! Basic premise is post season 5 Best Friend Squad are investigating other planets as magic has been brought back to the universe, when they find signs of Angella, who had been lost to them following the near cataclysmic events of season three. She’s been scattered to My Hero Academia verse Earth, and they have to find her, while getting caught up in other stuff. This crossover is an idea I’ve had a lot of ideas about and I think there’s a good amount of room to explore ideas between the two shows and major characters, so I’m going to be posting a few more chapters down in the following days. Let me know what you think of it.
