Hey everybody! After years of reading your stories here on ff.net,
I've finally been inspired to post one of mine! It's a continuation of
the first season's finale, Council of Evil; this is how I've pictured
the second season.

Rating: R - For language, violence, and mature subject matter.

Pairings: Adam / Teela, Duncan / Teelina, Randor / Marlena (duh!)

Disclaimers: (Oh, don't look so surprised! You knew this was coming!)
He-Man and the Master of the Universe and any recognizable characters
are not mine.




Forever Changed

Chapter I: Entering Grayskull




Outside Castle Grayskull. . .

"Look what remains of the Masters, that oh so fierce warrior, Prince
Adam!" Skeletor sarcastically called out. Laughter erupted behind him
from his recently appointed Council of Evil at the 'fierce' prince
below. Adam raised his head at the sound of vehicles approaching above
the trees that front Castle Grayskull.

"You're gonna get it now, Skeletor!" Adam yelled out, "The Masters are
here!"

Skeletor turns around and maniacal laughter bursts out, and Adam's
heart catches in his throat. "No!" he manages to choke out. Coming up
fast upon the group gathered in front of the castle by land and air,
was not the Masters, but Skeletor's forces that had just recently been
captured and locked away in the palace compound built by Man-At-Arms.
Adam froze in fear. One thing repeated in his mind: It's over. . .



The Dungeon at Snake Mountain. . .

"We have to get out of here! Adam and Grayskull are in danger! I can
feel it!" Teela yelled.

"Oh! Great Sorceress Teela! What else can you see?" Buzz-Off remarked
sarcastically. "Prince Adam's in no danger. I mean seriously! He's
probably hiding with Cringer somewhere, out of Skeletor's way!"
Teela's anger began to boil over at Buzz-Off's comments. "He's really
quite good at running away when things get ugly, wouldn't you say?"
Buzz-Off asked Teela sweetly. "A real man would never cower while his
friends fight for the future of his kingdom!"

"Fuck you, bug-face!" Teela growled. "He's more of a man then you'll
ever be!"

"Aw, what's the matter, sweetheart? You have to defend your boyfriend
because he's not man enough to do it himself?" He mocked.

"Shut up! And, he's not. . ."

"Teela! Buzz-Off! Both of you! Be quiet! I've just. . . about. . .
there!" Man-At-Arms proclaims, as he removes himself form his
bindings. He quickly sets about freeing the other Masters.

"What the hell! Arrgh!" Buzz-Off screams out as his nether regions are
smashed by someone's knee.

"Don't let me ever catch you talking about Adam like that again!"
Teela says, throwing him down.

"Teela, enough!" Man-At-Arms calls out. "Go recover Adam's sword from
over there," he points to were the sword fell. "Stratos! Fly up and
open the gate!"

"Right!" they both exclaimed.

"Roboto, scan for vehicles in the area that are in working condition!"

"My sensors show that there are two flight vehicles and one land
vehicle 30 metres from Snake Mountain," he reported.

"Good! Let's move people!" Man-At-Arms ordered as Teela handed him
Adam's sword.

As they raced out of Snake Mountain and on to Grayskull, Teela's mind
was clear except for one thought: I hope we're not too late. Just hang
on, Adam. . .



Outside Castle Grayskull. . .

'Sorceress! If you can hear me, please, give me a sign!' Adam cried
out telepathically, hoping the Sorceress would hear his pleas. After
several moments of eerie silence, Adam tried again. Once again, there
was no reply. Something must be seriously wrong if the Sorceress isn't
responding. I have to get inside! But how, Skeletor's forces will
obliterate me? Adam looked around in distress, hope that he would
think of something quickly. Then it hit him. Of course! He thought to
himself with pride.

"Step aside, boy, if you don't want to become dust!" Skeletor
demanded.

"Ah. . . of course. . . go ahead. There's no way I can stop you and
your men, Skeletor," Adam told him as he stepped aside, giving
Skeletor and his horde access to Grayskull.

Skeletor looked sceptically at the young prince. "You, a Master and
prince of Eternia, are willing to let my men and I walk right into
Castle Grayskull without a fight, and conquer your kingdom, right in
front of you?"

"Once again, why should I fight you and your men? There's no point,
everyone here knows that. You'd just be wasting your time," Adam told
him again.

Skeletor looked at him before speaking again still not believing what
he's heard, "Very well. Tri-Clops! Grab Prince Adam. He's to bear
witness to my victory and the conquest of Castle Grayskull!"

"Right, boss," Tri-Clops acknowledged Skeletor, as he secured Adam.

Perfect! Adam thought gleefully to himself, He fell for it! Now, all I
need is a plan. . .

To be continued. . .
