I do not own.
Adam saw the kidnapper with his sister smash through the glass. He was about to run to a secret place to summon He-man when Teela grabbed him and deposited him into Ram Man and Man-E-Faces' arms.
"Take him and the royal family to the safe area!" She ordered.
"I can get there by myself." Adam tried to protest.
"Don't let them out of your sight!" Teela ignored him.
"Duh, you can count on us!" Ram Man saluted hitting himself a little too hard.
Man-E-Faces had Adam firmly in his grip. "Come Prince Adam to safety."
He had no choice but to go with them. He couldn't fault them for trying to help. His parents were also being escorted by Stratos and Mekaneck. Gritting his teeth, he looked around, frustrated for a way out.
King Randor was also a little upset that he was being ushered away while his daughter was in danger.
"Let me go! If that monster hurt my little girl…" He raved.
Marlena saw her son looking quite frustrated. As they all came together, Marlena let out a sob and pitched backward. Everyone immediately turned to her. Marlena opened one eye and looked pointedly at her son before closing her eye.
Adam realized his mother was providing a distraction. He stepped back a few steps as everyone's attention was on the queen. Then quickly turning around he ran to a side room. Pulling out his sword, he changed into He-man. Cringer who had been following quietly behind him, closed his eyes as the Power sword's power surged through him. Turning into Battle Cat, he let out a mighty roar. He-man hopped on and they exited to the garden.
As he got into the garden, Teela was running towards him.
"Oh, He-man, Thank goodness, you're here! Princess Adora was taken by Skeletor!" She said.
He-man nodded. "I was told. We at least know where she'll be taken. Come, cat!" Battle Cat roared and took off jumping over the garden wall.

Adora coughed several times before opening her eyes. It was dark and there was a musty smell in the air. When she pushed herself up, she realized that she had a chain around one of her wrists.
"Ahh, finally awake Princess."
The voice sent chills down her spine.
"Skeletor! I should have known only someone as heartless as you would disrupt a holiday celebration." Adora scowled at him.
"Flattery will get you nowhere Princess." He sneered. "I am about to inform horde Prime of my catch. Then Hordak will have no choice but to bow to me." He cackled.
"You'll never get away with this." She hissed.
"Oh, I already have. Beastman! Keep an eye on our guest. She won't be here for long." He walked away laughing.
Beastman didn't look happy but he said, "Yes, Skeletor."
Adora glared after him. As he walked out, she noticed that her sword was hanging on the wall. She felt her back reflexively but already knew it wouldn't be there. They must not realize that it was the sword of protection. If only she can reach it. Checking around her cell, there was very little to work with. Checking her chains on her arm, she pulled it along her strength to see how long it was. There was the length but it was connected to the wall. Glancing at Beastman, who stood sulking in a corner, she checked the bolts. To her surprise it was loose. She might be able to do something. But first she needed to get rid of Beastman first.
"Oh Beastman…." She called to him sweetly.
"What?" He growled.
"I'm sooo thirsty. Can I get something to drink? Pleeeease?" She asked.
"Bah, I don't have to get anything for you." He scowled.
"Well, Skeletor probably wouldn't like it if I died of thirst, especially before he can hand me over to Horde Prime." She said with a pout.
Beastman snorted but he looked uncertain.
Adora started to cough. "So thirsty." She whimpered. "Soooo thirsty."
"Fine, fine. I'll go get your water." Beastman tired of the whining. He walked out.
As soon as he was gone, Adora Yanked against her chain with all her might. Although it was loose, it was firmly bolted to the wall. She checked it again. The stone around the attachment was crumbling. She needed something to break the rock around it. She turned around and something glittered… her necklace from her parents. She hoped they would understand her ruining it. Pulling it off her neck, she used the gem to chip away. With a few well-placed hits the attachment broke off. Unfortunately, Beastman came back.
"Here's your water." He grumbled pushing the cup through the bars.
"I'm hungry now, too. Can you get me something to eat?" She said hiding the broken attachment behind her back.
"What? No way!" He said angrily.
She placed her hand over her stomach. "But I'm soooo hungry. I'm feeling faint." She swayed a little on her feet.
"Okay, okay, yeesh." Beastman lumbered away.
When he disappeared, she quickly stuck her arm out with the end of the chain. Spinning it around she threw it towards her sword. It missed, clattering onto the ground. Gritting her teeth she tried again. After several tried she managed to knock the sword to the ground. Using the anchor at the end of the chain to hook her sword, she pulled it towards her. When it was close enough, she reached out and grabbed her sword.
"For the Honor of Grayskull!" She yelled.
In a flash of lights, she became She-ra.
Gripping the bars, she yanked it off its hinges. Beastman appeared in the doorway holding some fruit.
"She-ra" He yelped dropping the food.
"I've freed the Princess," She-ra said hoping Beastman was too dumb to realize that there was no where for the Adora to have gone. "Now you're going to pay for your crimes!"
Beastman roared and charged her. She-ra still holding the bars side-stepped him. Sticking out her foot, he tripped and fell into the cell. She then pushed the bars back in place. Twisting the sides, she secured the bars locking him in.
"Hey!" Beastman grabbed the bars and shook it. They did not move.
"That should keep you for a while." She-ra said firmly before running out. "Now how do I get out of here?"
"Leaving so soon?" A voice hissed.
Spinning around, she came face to face with Evil-lyn. With a smug look on her face, she fired off an energy bolt straight at She-ra's heart.
Sorry, for the delay. I kind of lost the desire to write. Still recovering from the flu. Anyway, I promise I'll finish soon. I wish I could have completed it for the holidays though.
