Eternia
Prince Adam, a heroic young known as He-Man to a select few, was outside the castle of Eternia.
Adam was a prince by birth, where his father and mother were king and queen, rulers of Eternia whose main goal was to keep peace in the land and to stop the evil forces that wanted to conquer the lands and rule the planet for their own evil purposes.
Eternia was a mythical land filled with fantasy creature both good and bad, not to mention humans who also lived with the various creatures that roamed the lands. The planet of Eternia was home to all, even those who tried to take over the planet and discovery it's secretes. Some parts of Eternia were a natural beauty to behold, filled with luscious green grass prairies and beautiful forests accompanied by streams and rivers where animals lived in peace. Other parts of Eternia were deemed inhospitable. Some parts were filled with snow that seemed to stretch for hundreds of miles. Other parts of Eternia were hot and dry where nothing grew, like a dessert. And a small section of Eternia was a dark barren wasteland that was home to some of the deadliest creatures to ever walk the planet of Eternia.
One day, Adam discovered a strange looking fortress of sorts, Castle Grayskull. Guided with his was his pet Cringer, who was a gigantic green cat that looked the size of a modern day lion. Though Cringer was enormously big, he was easily frightened and almost ran the other direction away from danger. But to Adam, Cringer was his best companion and even though Cringer did not seem to have a lot of self confidence, Adam loved Cringer anyway.
Adam was looking at Castle Grayskull and started to approach it. He had never seen such a strange place before and was awestruck at the peculiar place. Although at one point Prince Adam would have never ventured to Castle Grayskull, he now was becoming more curious and inquisitive about the land.
"Must we go in?" Cringer started to shake even more when approaching the castle.
Adam just smiled at the big cat. "Come on old friend, it'll be fine. I promise."
As he approached the place, there was a large explosion nearby. Adam looked to see who it was while Cringer ran over to a big rock and hid behind it in fear.
It was none other than Skeletor, the villainous monster who wanted to take over Eternia and rule all the lands. He had the face of a skeleton but the body of a barbarian, with large muscles around his arms, chest, and legs.
Skeletor was surrounded by his army. On one side was Evil-Lyn and Trap-Jaw. On the other side of Skeletor were Beast Man, Mer-Man, and Tri-Klops.
"Today is the day where I find the secrets of Castle Grayskull and rule the planet of Eternia!" Skeletor started to laugh, followed by laughter echoing from his army.
Adam looked over at Cringer. "Come on Cringer, we've go to do something!"
Cringer was too frightened to even move. "No we don't. You go. I'll stay right here until the worst is over!"
"Cringer!" Adam wanted his friend to help him stop Skeletor.
Suddenly Adam started to hear a voice. "Come in."
Adam looked around. "Did you hear that?"
"No!" Cringer started to tremble even more. He obviously did hear it.
"What in the……" Adam's voice trailed off as he and Cringer disappeared from the outside of Castle Grayskull.
After that, the majestic and wise Sorceress reveled herself and told Adam about the great power within the sword she had given him. The sword itself possessed the magic of Castle Grayskull. All Adam had to do to obtain that source of power was hold up the sword and say "For The Power Of Grayskull!"
Adam then turned into the powerful He-Man while his pet Cringer turned into Battlecat, He-Man's assistant. Battlecat, like He-Man, had the attitude and strength to combat Skeletor and his forces and to uphold peace in land of Eternia.
Only a handful of people knew that Adam was He-Man. One such person was Man-At Arms, a Duncan who was a mentor to Adam and Teela, his adopted daughter. Man-At-Arms was also part of the King's army and served as a general, commanding the army against Skeletor and his army.
Another person, well creature, that knew Adam was He-Man was Orko. Orko was a Trollan who came from another dimension. He befriended Adam and Cringer when he recued them from a tar pit. He eventually found out that Adam and Cringer both were He-Man and Battlecat respectively, though he opted to not tell anyone, especially the King and Queen since Man-At-Arms also knew and kept Adam's secrete hidden.
Third and lastly was Adora, Adam's twin sister who later became She-Ra, Princess Of Power. She was given a sword similar to that of Adam and the sword itself channeled the magic of Castle Grayskull, giving Adora the new form of She-Ra. Adora opted to stay on Etheria, sister planet of Eternia. There, Adora and the rebels fought off the evil Hordak, the leader of the vicious Horde. Hordak was also the mentor of Skeletor before the pupil turned on his mentor.
As mentioned before, Adam was outside the kingdom, along with Cringer.
Teela ran out of the kingdom towards Adam. "Hey Adam, where are you going?"
"Oh, just for a walk," the young prince said.
"Can I come too?" Teela was wishful thinking.
Adam shook his head. "Not this time Teela."
"Oh come on, I can handle myself outside of the kingdom," Teela pleaded her case.
"I suppose you can, but maybe next time," Adam suggested.
The young woman folded her arms in two showing how disgusted she was with Adam's decision.
"How about she go in my place and I stay behind," Cringer looked at Adam with sympathetic eyes.
"Oh come on Cringe, it'll be fine. I promise," Adam looked at the animal.
"But you always say that and we're always attacked!" Cringer was making his case, a rather strong case to his friend.
Just then Man-At-Arms came walking out to see what was going on.
Teela looked at her adopted father. "Can I go with Adam on one of his walks dad?"
Man-At Arms shook his head. "Not this time Teela. You've got some schooling to do young lady."
"Ohhhh!" Teela sounded like she wanted to lash out on her father.
Suddenly an explosion hit from within the confines of the grounds of the castle.
"What was that?" Teela looked at the castle.
"Oh dear!" Cringer moved away and tried to find some place to hide for safety.
Orko flew out, his clothing and hat burnt.
Man-at-Arms looked at Orko. "What did you do this time?"
Orko's eyes were spinning. "Wooo, I was trying to prefect my magic spells. Guess I got a little carried away!"
The entire group grumbled after hearing Orko's usual excuse.
"Orko, why don't you join Adam and Cringer on their walk," Man-At-Arms suggested to the magical creature.
"Good idea," Adam thought. "That way when we return, we don't return to a burnt down kingdom."
Teela and her father started to laugh. Orko, however, was not amused.
"Okay I'll go on your 'walk'," Orko said. "But I'll be flying, thank you very much!"
And with that, Adam found Cringer hiding and proceeded with the cat and Orko on their walk while Teela and her father went back into the grounds of the kingdom.
Snake Mountain
On the outskirts of Eternia, where the light never shined and darkness always prevailed, lied the base of operations for Skeletor.
Beast Man was in a room close to the thrown room where Skeletor resided. Beast Man was pacing back in forth, grunting words that probably no one else would understand.
Evil-Lyn heard the monster's grumblings and wondered what he was doing as she opted to walk over to him.
Evil-Lyn looked at the monster, confused. "What are you muttering about now?"
Beast Man looked up at the evil sorceress. "I've been cramped in this stingy place for too long. When are we going to attack the kingdom of Eternia?"
Evil-Lyn narrowed her eyes at him. "When Skeletor tells us to, fool!"
"Not a good enough answer," Beast Man wasn't happy with the response and wanted some action. He hated being confined at one place for too long.
Even though she thought of the monster as a big oaf, Beast Man did have a point. Even Evil-Lyn was beginning to wonder when Skeletor would stage another attack.
Evil-Lyn decided that perhaps it would be in everyone's best interest if she would have a chat with their master.
She approached the thrown room and saw Skeletor in his sit looking bored. "May I have a word with you?"
Skeletor wanted her to leave him at peace. "No, but that never stopped you before."
"Everyone around here is getting restless," she said. "We need to get out of here and do something."
Skeletor moved around, straightening his seating position.
"Let's go attack Castle Grayskull," Evil-Lyn pleaded.
"Just one problem Evil-Lyn," the demon said. "He-Man."
"We'll be ready for him Skeletor!" She proclaimed. "We've been stuck sitting here. Our energy is at full strength. I'd even wager that Beast Man could take out He-Man."
Skeletor started to laugh. "Funny, he couldn't do that in the past."
But Skeletor started to think. Maybe Evil-Lyn was right. After all, it had been a while since they did attack the kingdom and Castle Grayskull. Plus it also seemed reasonably that with the army restless that they would put up a better fight, even against He-Man.
The decision had been made. Skeletor looked at the woman. "Gather my forces Evil-Lyn. We're going to get Castle Grayskull's secretes and then conquer all of Eternia!
Somewhere in the forests of Eternia
Three beams of light sparked the ground, scaring the animals inhabiting the forest and making them run away.
Tommy opened his eyes. He realized he was lying on the ground. He looked over and saw Trent and Ethan also laying on the ground.
"Trent, Ethan."
Nothing.
Tommy slowly got up. "Trent, Ethan."
That time the two young teenagers started to move. Like Tommy, they were a little disoriented at where they were at.
"My head," Ethan muttered.
Both Ethan and Trent finally got up and looked at Tommy who was trying to figure out where he was at.
Trent looked around. "Where's Kira and Conner?"
"Maybe they're around here," Tommy suggested. "Let's look around."
All three split up and started to walk around the forest.
"Kira!" Trent yelled. His voice was echoing the surroundings of the forest. But Trent did not hear a feminine voice.
"Conner!" Ethan also yelled, about one hundred yards away from the other two. But like Trent, Ethan did not hear anything except for a flock of birds flying away that got scared. "Man, where could they be?"
Ethan looked back and Tommy gestured the blue ranger to come back. He looked at Trent. "Trent, come back."
Trent walked back and joined the group. "I don't like this. Where are the others?"
"Yeah, and to add to the point, where are we?" Ethan wondered, looking around.
Tommy did not know. "Come on."
Though they did not know where they were going, they continued to wonder deep into the forest with Tommy leading on.
Meanwhile…..
Adam and Cringer were walking while Orko was flying beside the two.
"Can we please turn around and go back to the kingdom!" Cringer seemed like he was now begging than pleading to Adam now.
Adam merely smiled. "Oh come on Cringer. It's a beautiful day and we haven't come across anything harmful yet."
Suddenly Orko moved his hands around, casting some magic which backfired.
"Except Orko here!" Adam looked at the flying creature.
"Not funny Adam!" Orko looked at the young prince.
Suddenly the Sorceress's voice was channeling through to Adam.
"Uh oh," Adam said as he stopped.
"Oh what now?" Cringer started to shake.
"The Sorceress is trying to contact," Adam responded.
"Please come to Castle Grayskull at once," the woman said. "We have a problem."
Adam looked at Orko and Cringer. "Come on guys, we've got to get to Castle Grayskull."
"Oh dear," Cringer muttered. "Can't we just go back home!"
Castle Grayskull
Adam, Orko, and Cringer walked into the castle and found the Sorceress nearby.
"What's going on Sorceress?" Adam was curious as to why he was being summoned.
"I have felt an unbalance in the lands of Eternia," the woman said. "Three people from another world have been transported here by accident."
"Are these three a danger to Castle Grayskull or to the kingdom?" Adam continued to pose questions.
"No, but I do sense that these three do have some sort of magic that I am unfamiliar with," the Sorceress said. "Very powerful magic even greater than my own."
Adam looked at Orko and Cringer. All three were alarmed and concerned.
"I'm sensing they're lost and are trying to find two other comrades of theirs," she added.
Adam was confused. "But I thought you said there were only three people?"
The Sorceress nodded. "Yes there are. I sense the other two went into another dimension and are also trapped, trying to find their three friends."
The Sorceress continued. "I'm also sensing something else, an evil energy approaching here from the outskirts of Eternia."
Adam knew who. "Skeletor!"
She nodded. "I do think I have the means to transport the three out of the lands of Eternia." She turned to Adam. "Adam, it is up to you to bring these three offlanders to me. If Skeletor learns about them and the power they have, he can use that power to not only defeat me, but learn the secretes of Castle Grayskull and conquer Eternia."
"I'll wait here and let you go after them," Cringer wanted to stay in the confines of the castle.
"No way Cringer," Adam stated his case. "I need you."
Adam looked up at Orko. "You too Orko."
Orko saluted the young prince. "You got it!"
Somewhere in the forest
The three rangers were starting to get hot. It was warmer in the forest for some reason even though the three were surrounded by trees which blocked off the sun.
Ethan brushed off some sweat from his forehead.
Tommy had taken off his dress shirt and now was displaying a black tank top shirt while the dress shirt was wrapped around his waste.
"Dr. O, where are we going?" Trent looked at the leader.
"I have no idea Trent," Tommy was out of luck. "I'm trying to see if we can find some people who can tell us where we are."
Ethan saw a tree trunk sticking out of the ground, looking like an upside down "U", and proceeded to rest his legs for a bit. "Hold on a minute guys."
Tommy and Trent stopped. Perhaps they could use a few minutes of some rest.
"I could sure use some water right about now," Ethan said.
"I could use one of Hayley's smoothies right about now," Trent had a better idea.
"That doesn't sound too bad right about now," Tommy agreed with Trent.
As Ethan continued to rest, he felt something moving. It felt as if the tree trunk he was sitting on started to move. The blue ranger looked down.
Suddenly Tommy and Trent noticed the trunk rising.
Ethan's eyes got wide eyes with fear. "Whoa!"
The so called tree hump that resembled an upside down "u" now looked like a finger as the end of whatever it was was not inside the ground anymore.
Suddenly Ethan started to rise. Three more things popped out from the ground as it continued to rise.
Tommy started to realize the thing Ethan was resting on was a finger, as the three other fingers and the ball of the hand continued to come up from the ground.
"Ethan, get out of there!" Trent yelled, now frightened for the dear life of his friend.
The enormous hand had risen from the ground and was now twice the size of Ethan. The hand grabbed Ethan and started to squeeze him.
"We've got to do something!" Trent looked over at Tommy.
Near the forest
As Adam, Orko, and Cringer continued on their track to find the three offlanders, Adam started to hear some voices in the distance.
Adam stopped, and so did the other two.
"Do you hear that?"
"I don't hear anything," replied Orko.
"Let's go back!" Cringer looked at Adam.
"Dr. O!"……..A voice in the distance cried out.
"Hey, I heard it now," Orko was now alert.
"Come on!" Adam ordered. "It's coming from the forest."
Forest
The hand was now squeezing Ethan even tighter. Ethan started to gasp for air.
"Dr.O, I think it's morphing time," Trent said looking at his teacher.
"Right Trent," Tommy nodded only to remember that the phrase "it's morphing time" was used with the Mighty Morphin and Zeo Rangers. "Dino Thunder Power Up!"
"White Ranger, Dino Power!" Trent said.
But nothing happened.
Tommy and Trent looked at each other.
But at the same time, Adam, Orko, and Cringer had made their way towards the three.
"Were they trying to cast their magic powers?" Orko asked Adam.
"I don't know," Adam looked at the hand thing that was continuing to squeeze Ethan. "But I think it's time we used some magic of our own."
Adam pulled out the sword from the back of him and held it high. "For The Power Of Grayskull!"
Tommy and Trent looked at the figure who said that. Both their mouths were wide open.
Suddenly sparkles started to fly up from the ground transforming Adam into He-Man. All of Adam's clothes were now gone were replaced with He-Man's attire. "I Have The Power!"
"Oh my god," Tommy said as he continued to watch what he couldn't believe.
Suddenly He-Man pointed his sword out to Cringer. A bolt of electricity shot out from the sword and struck the cat, transforming Cringer into the mighty Battlecat.
Without hesitation, He-Man jumped forward and grabbed a hold of the gigantic hand.
Tommy and Trent still couldn't believe what they were witnessing. But both wanted Ethan to get out of the predicament safe.
"Hold on," He-Man said looking at Ethan. The warrior started to hit the hand with his sword, causing the hand creature pain. The hand started to loosen it's grip with Ethan.
He-Man, swinging his sword, finally knocked off one of the hand's fingers which cause the hand thing to let go of Ethan.
The blue ranger fell down. Trent and Tommy came to aide the blue ranger and move him out of harms way.
But the problem was not done yet. He-Man swung his sword and knocked down another finger, then another, and finally the last one causing the hand creature to sink the rest of the hand down into the ground underneath the dirt.
With the problem over, He-Man turned his attention to Ethan who was laying on the ground recovering while Tommy and Trent surrounded him. "Are you three okay?"
Tommy looked at Ethan and Trent and then back at the warrior. "Yeah."
He-Man smiled. "Good."
Battlecat and Orko walked over to He-Man.
"Great job!" Orko was pleased with the outcome.
"Yeah He-Man!" Battlecat said. "You should have given me the leftovers!"
He-Man smiled at his partner.
Tommy walked over to He-Man. "I can't believe what I'm seeing."
He-Man looked at the man. It was almost as if he knew He-Man like an old friend. "What do you mean?"
"I grew up watching you as a kid," Tommy said.
He-Man did not understand. "Grew up watching me?"
"Well yeah," Tommy started to talk. "I used to watch you as a kid. You're a cartoon show."
"Cartoon?" Orko asked. "Show?"
"I was in my living room with my students watching you on the television when suddenly we were some how transported here by a storm," Tommy continued.
He-Man and Orko were looking at each other.
Tommy sighed. "Well I'm Tommy. This is Trent and the man you rescued is Ethan."
He-Man nodded. "Nice to meet you three." He moved the conversation to another area. "You two shouted something while holding out your arms. What were you doing?"
Tommy stuck out his left arm, showing He-Man his morpher. "This device that I, Trent, and Ethan carry allows us to morph and become Power Rangers."
What do I have to lose anyway, Tommy thought since he was revealing his secrete. After all, he was talking to a cartoon character.
"Power Rangers?" He-Man wondered.
Orko flew over to Tommy and started to examine the device on his wrist.
"It's like that sword of yours that transforms you from Adam to He-Man," Tommy was trying to put the subject matter into something He-Man and Orko would understand.
He-Man curiously looked at Tommy. "How did you know my name is Adam?"
"Like I said, I grew up watching you. I know you have a twin sister who later on became She-Ra and defends Etheria from Hordak." Tommy replied.
He-Man nodded. Whoever this person was, he knew He-Man's back story pretty well. "Well from what I understand, the power you have is equal to that of the Sorceress, if mot more powerful than hers."
He-Man continued. "I've been ordered by the Sorceress to take you back to Castle Grayskull," He-man said. "She believes she can send you back to wherever you came from."
Ethan smiled. "Yes!"
Trent looked at his friend. "No! We still have to Conner and Kira."
"The Sorceress said that she did not sense your friends," He-Man added an aide of knowledge to the three.
"What does that mean?" Trent looked at Tommy.
"It means that Conner and Kira did not transport here like we did," Tommy responded to Trent's query. "They might be back at the house."
"In Any case, we need to get going," He-Man said. "Skeletor and his forces are approaching this way."
"Skeletor? Tommy was surprised. "Here?"
"Wrong He-Man!" A voice said.
The heroes turned their attention and saw Skeletor and his army.
"We're already here." The demon said.
"Skeletor!" Orko blurted out.
"Jesus!" Ethan almost cried out loud enough for everyone to hear. "I don't know who looks uglier, him or Mesogog."
"We've been listening to the conversation the whole time," the skeleton creature said. He eyed the three new people that he had never seen before. "Now what was this about some sort of new magic power that said to be even more powerful than the Sorceress protecting Castle Grayskull?"
He-Man made a stand. "We're not giving it to you Skeletor!"
The skeleton snickered. "I thought you won't." He looked at his army. "What are you buffoons doing? Go get that power!"
Like trained pets, the army obeyed.
He-Man looked at his three new friends. "I suggest you three find some clearing and let me take care of these pests."
Tommy eyed He-Man. "One thing you don't know about us, we know martial arts."
Orko looked curious. "Martial Arts?"
"Ethan, you okay enough to lend in a hand?" Tommy said. "No pun intended either." He thought of the predicament that Ethan was in only minutes ago.
Ethan nodded. He and Trent grouped with Tommy as the veteran ranger was in the middle while the white and blue rangers were on both sides of Tommy.
"Our powers might be obsolete right now, but we're still power rangers," Tommy said. "Let's do it!"
"Right!" The other two said.
"My word," Orko muttered at what he was hearing from the three new people.
Tommy, Ethan, and Trent started to take on Skeletor's evil army.
Tommy had Evil-Lyn while Trent fought off Mer-Man and Ethan had Beast Man.
He-Man battled Trap-Jaw and Tri-Klops respectively with the help of Battlecat.
Skeletor however, looked on and watched the battle.
Beast Man tried to attack Ethan by swinging his fists at the young man, but Ethan was too fast for the monster.
"Is that all you got furball?" Ethan toyed with the monster.
Ethan suddenly dropped to the ground, swung his feet to hit Beast Man's feet, and knocked the monster to the ground.
Mer-Man wasn't having any better luck with Trent. Trent was moving around which made Mer-Man try to keep up with white ranger unsuccessfully.
"Stop that!" Mer-Man yelled.
"You got it!" Trent said. He stopped moving and just stood there. Mer-Man ran and tried to attack Trent only to have the white ranger move out of the way and kick the sea creature on his back which sent the beast falling to the ground.
Trent looked at the fallen Mer-Man. "This is too easy!"
Evil-Lyn used her staff to strike Tommy Oliver, but she wasn't having any luck either. These three were too fast and too strong, she thought.
As Evil-Lyn started to try to shoot Tommy with her staff, He did a karate chop and knocked the sword out of her hand.
Evil-Lyn looked at the sword, shocked. She then turned her attention back at Tommy who smiled at her, waved, and then kicked her stomach, forcing her to join her two companions on the ground.
Meanwhile, He-Man used his sword to stop Trap-Jaw from biting him, using the sword as a sort of shield.
"I've going to defeat the all powerful He-Man," Trap-Jaw said with glee.
"Not today Trap-Jaw!" He-Man punched Trap-Jaw in the stomach which caused him to stop biting He-Man's sword. He-Man then swung the sword hitting Trap-Jaw in the face and knocking him to the ground.
Battlecat on the other hand was having a fun time toying with Tri-Klops.
The villain started to fire shots from his eye. The visor he was wearing rotated to reveal another single eye that shot another blast at Battlecat.
The shot struck Battlcat which caused the animal to roar in pain.
"Here kitty, kitty!" Tri-Klops was trying to humiliate the animal.
That angered Battlecat. Without hesitation, he jumped up in the air.
Tri-Klops shot another blast at the cat, only this time Battlecat used his army to deflect the blast which went back and struck Tri-Klops.
Tri-Klops fell to the ground, hurt.
Battlecat came over to the minion and growled at Tri-Klops's face, which made the minion tremble.
"Idiots!" Skeletor could not believe his arm had lost. Well he could believe. After all, they had yet to win a victory over He-Man. "Retreat you morons! Retreat!"
The army got up and started to run away from the fight.
He-Man started to laugh.
"I'll get you for this He-Man!" Skeletor yelled out while continuing to run away.
Tommy looked at everyone. "Anybody hurt?"
Ethan and Trent looked at each other. "We're good Dr. O," Ethan answered.
"Those were some good moves you three displayed," He-Man was a little envious. "Was that the martial arts you were talking about?"
"You bet," replied Tommy.
"Simply amazing," Orko was also envious.
He-Man put his sword back in the case that he carried on his back. "Let's get to Castle Grayskull."
Castle Grayskull
The party had finally approached the castle and went inside.
Tommy, Ethan, and Trent were freaking out. It was Castle Grayskull, they all were thinking the same thing.
"My friends, this is the great Sorceress," He-Man presented her to the three offlanders.
The Sorceress approached Tommy. "I sense that you have a lot of magic in the past."
"Magic in the past?" Tommy was trying to figure out what she had meant. An imaginary light finally clicked on. "You mean all the past powers I had as a power ranger."
The Sorceress nodded. "I sense you and your friends are fighting a great evil similar to that of Skeletor."
Tommy looked at Ethan and Trent and back at the woman, smiling a little. "I guess you can say that."
The Sorceress moved over to a door. She used her powers to open the door to reveal a portal. "This will get you out of Eternia, the world that you're at now."
The three rangers looked at the portal. It was a cornucopia of colors mixed in harmony.
The Sorceress looked at the three. "I don't know if this portal will lead you back to the world you come from."
Tommy smiled. "This will do. Thank you." He turned his attention to He-Man and stuck out his hand for He-Man to shake it. "It truly was an honor meeting you He-Man."
He-man shook Tommy's hand. "The honor was all mine Tommy." He smiled. "Good luck."
Tommy looked at Ethan and Trent and nodded for them to join Tommy and go through the portal.
All three rangers stepped into the portal and disappeared, leaving behind He-Man and the world of Eternia.
Next up: Conner and Kira team up with Inspector Gadget and help the bumbling policeman take on Dr. Claw and his MAD organization.
