"So, which way is the way out of here?" Barin asked.

"Follow me, I've been around here plenty of times." He-Man told his little brother since they were friends again.

"That's good to know," Barin smiled. "And if any of Skeletor's or that other guy's or their big boss's cronies or any evil droids getting in our way, we can totally take them down."

"Just remember what Man-At-Arms taught you." He-Man smiled.

"I always do." Barin smiled back.

"Come on then." He-Man nodded.

They walked off for a while before running into Beast Man who glared at them.

"Beast Man." Barin glared.

"That's right..." Beast Man glared back. "You're not going any further."

"Oh, we'll see about that." Barin smirked.

Beast Man soon roared and charged to them.


Barin decided to step in and began to fight back at Beast Man the way that Man-At-Arms had trained him for all this time up until his kidnapping as Rodan. Beast Man was overpowered by the strength.

"Should we help?" Battle Cat asked.

"If it's necessary, I just wanna see what he's learned first." He-Man smiled.

And where Barin began to use everything Man-At-Arms taught him.


Thor soon held his stomach with a pout as he took out an empty kettle corn bowl to his uncle. "Please, sir, may I have some more?~" he then asked in a Cockney accent like Oliver Twist as this was getting good.

Drell soon used his magic to fill up his nephew's bowl.

"Thank you~..." Thor said, taking the bowl back and eating it. "Mm~"

"Are you being nice to your sister?" Drell smirked.

"Yes..." Thor rolled his eyes.

"Good." Drell smirked.

"When she's not being a pain in the butt." Thor muttered while eating his snack.


"Not so tough now, are you?" Barin smirked to Beast Man.

"Who are you?!" Beast Man growled.

"I am Barin!" Barin proclaimed awesomely and bravely. "The Noble Fighter of Earth!" He soon saw the droids coming at all angles.

"Okay, I think some help would be good right now." He-Man suggested to Battle Cat.

Battle Cat nodded as he agreed. Barin soon looked over as the droids came to them.

"Want some help?" He-Man asked Barin.

"I'd love that." Barin nodded.

The droids began to try and grab the three of them. He-Man soon brought out his sword to fight against the droids while Battle Cat swatted at them and pouncing like a jungle cat. And where Barin used the knowledge that he learned as Rodan from Man-At-Arms. He-Man stopped every now and then before smiling to Barin as he fought independently and did very good on his own. Once the droids were handled, the three of them got out of ship.

"Come on, let's get outta here." He-Man told Barin and Battle Cat.

They soon began to leave to go back home.


And before arriving back at the castle He-Man, Battle Cat, and Barin transformed back into Adam, Cringer, and Rodan.

"How was that, guys?" Rodan smiled.

"I dunno what you're talking about, Rodan, but Barin was really amazing." Adam smirked.

Rodan simply rolled his eyes playfully as he knew his big brother knew what he meant.

"Is that you, Adam?" Adora asked as she soon walked over.

"Not just me." Adam smiled as Cringer and Rodan were shown.

"Oh, Rodan, thank goodness you're safe." Adora smiled to the boy.

"Hi, Adora." Rodan smiled back before hugging her.

"The others have been worried about you too." Adora told him.

"I'm sorry..." Rodan said.

"Sorry?" Adora asked.

"I'm sorry for not telling you where I was, Adam..." Rodan said, almost tearfully. "I was such a little jerk."

"I forgive you, and I'm sorry." Adam told him.

Rodan soon hugged Adam with tears in his eyes. Adam soon hugged Rodan right back.

"I'm just glad you're not hurt." Adora said to Rodan.

"You can thank He-Man, Battle Cat, and their new companion, Barin: The Mighty and Noble Warrior of Earth." Rodan smiled.

"That makes me so glad and happy, especially with you two made up." Adora smiled as Adam and Rodan were getting along now.

Rodan soon saw the others and where he knew he would have to face them. Adora stepped aside without saying anything.

"Oh, I hope this won't be too hard." Rodan sighed sharply to himself. He soon walked right up to the others since they didn't look too happy with him.

"Hello, Rodan." King Randor greeted.

"Hello..." Rodan replied. "I'm sorry, everybody."

"We were so worried about you." Queen Marlena told her adoptive son as she hugged him.

"I'm sorry." Rodan said, hugging her back.

Adam and Adora came behind Rodan as he looked emotional now in the hug.


And where Horde Prime now looked enraged as Rodan escaped.

"You let him ESCAPE?!" Horde Prime glared.

"It's not my fault, sir, he just proved to be a great challenge..." Trapjaw said nervously since it was his job to guard Rodan.

"More like you had fallen asleep on the job." Beast Man smirked.

"I... Uh..." Trap Jaw stammered.

"YOU IDIOT!" Horde Prime growled. "HOW DID HE EVEN ESCAPE WITH THEM?! AND WHO WAS THIS NEW WARRIOR?!"

"Erm... I..." Trap Jaw stammered.

"WELL?!" Horde Prime glowered.

"He appears to be He-Man's new accomplice...?" Trapjaw smiled nervously.

"Just what we need, another strong guy." Skeletor complained.

"Hmm..." Horde Prime leaned back in thought as they had to do something about this.

"What shall we do?" Hordak asked.

"We have to fight back..." Horde Prime glared. "There must be someway to get that brat back and destroy that miserable He-Man."

"Trust me, I've tried everything to destroy him." Skeletor told him.

"Perhaps you're not trying hard enough..." Horde Prime replied. "We'll have to try at night when everyone is asleep."

"Excellent choice, Horde Prime." Hordak smiled.

"Oh, yes, very excellent, why didn't we think of that?" Skeletor added.

Horde Prime seemed to scoff from that.

"Kiss-ups!" Thor laughed.


The night time soon came.

"I'm really sorry for running off like I did... It won't happen again..." Rodan said sleepily.

"I really hope it doesn't... You're part of the family around here." Queen Marlena smiled comfortingly.

"And that means we'll always love you." King Randor added.

Rodan smiled to them.

"Get some sleep, you've had a long day." Queen Marlena said.

"I will... Thank you... Good night." Rodan smiled before he soon yawned and turned over to fall asleep.

Queen Marlena soon leaned down and kissed him on the cheek. Rodan smiled to that as he fell asleep.

"Sleep tight, Rodan." Queen Marlena said before leaving with her king.

Everyone else was soon in bed and asleep.


"And so, night falls in Eternia... To go off into the land of dreams after an exhausting day in the waking world..." Drell narrated.

Cherry seemed to had fallen asleep herself.

"And looks like a certain someone has joined in." Thor smiled.

Drell glanced over to Cherry as she fell asleep. Thor soon tried to move Cherry over his shoulder with an innocent smile.

"Oi." Drell rolled his eyes playfully.

Cherry soon woke up and her eyes widened before looking up.

"Comfy?" Thor asked.

Cherry soon let out a scream.

"Well, that just happened." Drell said.

Cherry shuddered slightly as she felt uncomfortable about touching Drell's nephew.
