A/N: It's a funny weekend, but ask anyone in the UK and it was the first bit of sun we've seen since May, so I couldn't resist going away for a few days. Sorry.

I've been everywhere but with Teela for the last couple of chapters but that's all about to change.

Chapter 10

Beast-Man and Tri-Clops dragged the unconscious Teela out of the narrow corridor passed the two large Golem guardians, onto a narrow ledge along the large crater behind Snake Mountain. Even though it was midday, there was little light, the large Golems carved on either side of the entrance, hidden in the shadows.

Skeletor's bellowing cloak could be seen heading towards a large platform on the other side of the crater. As Beast-Man stepped forwards, a thin strip of the ledge broke off and fell into the blackness. Carefully leaning over the edge for the first time all he could see was a dark pit, rather than the molten lava which flows through the other fissures of Snake Mountain.

"Rumours from the Snakemen that once ruled here, is that the dark pit is bottomless. " Tri-Clops said, he enjoyed talking as he gets ready to face the Masters, it prevents him from getting nervous. He didn't mind, like the others, the occasional chat with Beast-Man.

"Err... do you really think it is bottomless?" Beast-Man asked as he moved away from the edge of the ledge. Neither of them wanted to find out that fact was true.

They followed Skeletor while hugging the wall, Beast-Man was causing problems by insisting of also walking by the wall. With Teela between them it was causing trouble carrying her and slowed their progress. Luckily for them Skeletor was too busy marking something out on the ground to notice their tardiness.

Near Skeletor was a metal cage balanced carefully on the edge. The cage was made up of a solid glass base and metal bars around the sides and the roof of solid metal with a chain attached to the cliff to ensure it did not drop into the bottomless pit…yet. This was the destination for their prisoner.

Teela watched as the power inside her built and knocked Evil-Lyn into the wall behind. Her body felt so weak, it screamed at her yet again for rest. Her mind was working overtime to try and understand what had just transpired. Again the soothing voice of the Sorceress comforted her and sent her to sleep.

Through the haze she could here voices, as they grew louder, she became aware of the pain of her feet and arms. She thought she recognised the deep voices, they were saying something about an extra surprise for someone and how it was good they were in shadows as the light hurting it.

As she focused on the voices she found her self emerging from a dream like state.

As she fought the weight of her eyelids, her body falling as she was released. It was as if her body was falling into a deep pit at slow motion, what seemed like hours she hit something cold and hard. As her eyelids fluttered open, trying to adjust to the lighting, she found herself flat on her belly facing down. As she placed her hands on the ground to she brace herself, the pain of her wrists returned and ran up her arms, the shock caused her hands to slip across the smooth surface, causing her chin to hit the glass.

Giving up the idea of getting up for the moment, Teela tried to see her surroundings from her current position. Through the metal bars she could see Skeletor's form crouched over the ground, he appeared to be scratching something with the base of his havoc staff.

Turning her head slowly in the opposite direction she could see Tri-Clops playing around with a machine. Two wires ran out of the machine, following the wires Teela had to crane her neck up to see the top of the bars and the wires wrapped around them.

"That can't be good." Muttered Teela under her breath. If she was going to escape it would have to be now or never.

A/N: The next chapter will be longer and paths will cross.
