If you have never seen the cartoons Masters of the Universe (He-man) and She-Ra, then this fic will not make too much sense. But here is a very quick synopsis. Adam and Adora are twins. Adora was kidnapped by the evil Horde as a baby and taken to a different planet. Many years later, Adam finds her, but she is serving the Horde under a spell that has been placed on her. He gives her a sword that is like his. Both swords allow them to transform into champions of their realms. (Super strength, etc...) Not many know that they have this ability though. Adora breaks the spell and vows to fight the Horde on the side of the Great Rebellion. Enjoy...
P.S. This is a femmeslash story, so if you don't like that type of thing, turn away now.
She was glad that she had been able to make the trip back to her second home. The Horde had been quiet of late, and she had been missing her family so much. Adora began to tear up. Once she had found out about her family on Eternia, she had been overjoyed. It had been a lot to take in at once. She found that she had a twin brother, and both of them had been entrusted with enchanted swords. And those swords transformed them both into champions of the people, and champions of justice. Her parents were alive and upon hearing her story from the Sorceress, she had given her brother a big hug and resolved to go and meet them with him in tow. Her first visit had been too short, and had been interrupted by Skeletor and Hordak. There had been a few quick visits since, but always they were littered with danger, and She-Ra always made an appearance. It was too much to hope that her visits would be uneventful, but as long as she got time to spend with her family, she was content. And something else was nagging at her. As excited as she was to see her family, she was also looking forward to seeing someone else. ..Teela.
In the small amounts of time she had spent on Eternia, Adora had grown fond of the red-headed Captain of the Guard. She laughed as she had watched Adam stumble around on purpose, which served only to infuriate Teela. Of course, Teela didn't know the reasons that Adam acted like a klutz. Teela was not one of her brother's secret keepers and therefore he very carefully made sure that he was not too much like his alter-ego He-Man. Adora did not have that worry. She had been trained in the Fright Zone under the careful eyes of Hordak and Shadowweaver. She had demonstrated the physical and mental acuity to become the Force Captain of Hordak's forces. Not that this was an accomplishment she bragged about. It was painful to think about what Hordak and his minions had taken from her. Ironically, all the weapons, tactics, and other military training she had been given by her abductors were now used against them with resounding success. Of course all of that coupled with She-Ra's abilities had made her formidable.
She materialized in the throne room in her father's palace on Eternia. Her mother and father were excited to see her. Her mother, Queen Marlena immediately drew her into a big hug.
"Adora, my daughter, we have missed you so much. Your father and I are so happy to have you here. Of course your brother will be thrilled too. "
Adora smiled, "I have missed you all so much as well. I am glad to be back on Eternia."
"Will you stay?" King Randor asked. Her father asked her the same question every time she came to visit. He desperately wanted her to stay, but she always left.
"Father, must we do this? I have tried to make you understand why I can't. I cannot in good conscience leave Etheria while the Horde is still there. Once they are finally gone, I will return here permanently to my family."
"Enough Randor," Marlena chided, "let's just enjoy the time we have now."
The king's face softened. "I cannot help but be selfish in wanting you to stay with us. And I do understand, but that does not mean I have to like it."
Adora hugged her father. "I don't like it either, but I have a duty to the Great Rebellion. Now is not the time to talk of it though. Where is my brother?"
Adora walked out to the training area. As she got closer to the open courtyard she heard a familiar voice.
"Adam, have you been practicing AT ALL?"
"Lighten up Teela. You just got lucky."
"Lucky? Adam, I have beaten you four times in a row! You are not taking this seriously!"
"Aww, come on Teela. It's just on a day like this, I'd rather be fishing."
Adora cringed. She knew her brother was only going to rile up Teela. Apparently it was easy to push the fiery red-head's buttons. Adora noticed the subtle changes that Teela had undergone since her last visit. Her hair was longer, and she was wearing it differently. Teela was sporting a long pony tail with strands of her hair framing her face. Adora thought she looked beautiful. After watching her brother get beat again, Adora thought it was time to make her presence known.
Adora stepped around the post she had been leaning against. "Perhaps the Captain of the Guard would like to challenge another member of the royal family?"
"ADORA!" Adam instantly smiled, and ran to give his sister a hug, scooping her slightly off the ground.
"Your majesty," Teela bowed slightly.
Returning her brother's bear hug, Adora chuckled. "It is so good to see you Adam. I missed you." The twins embraced each other for a few seconds, and then Adam put his sister back on her feet. She turned her attention to Teela. "And it is also nice to see you too Teela. But what about it Captain? Feel like training with me as well?"
"Careful Adora," Adam smiled, "of course if you beat her, it is only because I softened her up."
Teela snorted at Adam. Why can he never be serious? At least I might get more of a fight from his sister. Teela nodded at Adora. "If you would like to your majesty, I would be honored."
"Teela, please just call me Adora. There is no need to stand on formality with me. Treat me as you do Adam."
Teela smirked, "As long as you realize you will end up on your butt like your brother."
Adora eyes lit up with mirth. "You are cocky Teela. It's going to get you into trouble. But, come do your worst!"
Adora drew her sword from behind her back and the two women clashed. Teela gave Adora about almost all she could handle. Almost. Teela was quick on her feet. She was also quick to press her perceived advantages. Adora was patient though, and waited for Teela to overextend herself. Teela thrusted forward and Adora side stepped the blow. Adora grabbed Teela's right wrist with her left hand. She pulled Teela in and kicked the back of Teela's closest knee with her heel. As Teela dropped to one knee, Adora quickly spun around behind the red head, still holding onto the Captain's wrist. She effectively placed Teela in a choke hold with her own arm. Smiling, Adora leaned over and whispered in Teela's ear. "Come now. No need to kneel. I told you to treat me like Adam."
Teela grinned. "Very well Princess." The red head used her free left hand to reach behind herself and grabbed Adora's shirt at the shoulder. She yanked as hard as she could and sent Adora flying overhead. The blonde landed hard on her back. But Adora never let go of Teela's wrist. She pulled the woman forward causing Teela to crash land face first onto Adora's chest. Adam and Adora laughed heartily as Teela scrambled up quickly, her face red with embarrassment. Adora picked herself up and noticed Teela's face. Could she be any cuter?
"Are you okay Teela?" Adora teased.
"C'mon sis. Don't rub it in." Adam had not stopped laughing.
Teela grinned slightly. "You hardly beat me Adora."
Adora stared Teela straight in the eye. "You didn't exactly win either. Ready for round 2?"
Adam began to walk away. "If you are going to spar the rest of the day, I am going fishing."
Teela threw her hands up in frustration. "Fine Adam. But we will go twice as hard tomorrow!"
Adam threw back over his shoulder, "That's if Adora doesn't leave you black and blue today!"
