CHAPTER 10

Meanwhile in one of the underground cells, Leonard and Veena tried to leave again, but they failed again.

-"We can not quit!" -Leonard said.

-"No, we can not, not alone, come ..." -Veena was interrupted in the middle of the sentence, when the door to the room where the cells were was tossed, revealing She-ra, Solaris, Star-ly, and Alexandra.

-''Veena ! Leonard! " -They all exclaim and approach the bars, which were destroyed by She-ra when she released them.

Both princes came out and hugged their mothers tightly, especially Alexandra and Leonard.

-''My son! My beautiful little boy !''

-''I'm here mother, I'm here!''

She-ra smiled at their reunion and wiped away the tears that had come down. The last time she saw such a family reunion, it was when she first came home with her brother after 19 years of being away from home.

"We have to get out of here!" Star-ly said, catching everyone's attention.

-Wow! Leonard said, looking at his sister. "So it's true, you took the form of Star-ly!

-Wait! Do you know? Why did not you tell me that in there! I would not have pretended if I'd known you knew our secret! "Veena said in bewilderment.

-"I knew it just before I disappeared. One day I saw Adam turn into He-man and I looked for Grandma, and she confirmed that this was the secret of the family, of which many speak.'' -So after looking at She-ra, he ventured to ask. -"And speaking of Grandma, how she's ... different.''

She-ra grinned as Solaris explained.

-"This is She-ra more than forty years ago Leonard, from the time of the rebellion.''

-"Ah, that explains." -Leonard smiled.

-"I hate to have to interrupt the conversation, but we have to get out of here!" -Star-ly repeated.

-"She's right, come on!" -She-ra nodded.

-"Wait, She-ra, how old are you?" -Leonard asked curiously.

-''Twenty two.''

-"Wow, that's more than forty years since you came."

-"Wait, I'm over sixty?" -She-ra asks, puzzled.

-"We can not answer." -Veena remembers.

-"I'll take that as a yes."


On the outside of the Serpent Mountain.

On leaving the mountain, the group met Hordak face-to-face with several robots, new warriors (which none of the heroes present had ever seen) and old ones, such as Mantenna and Scorpia, who might have aged but agility was almost same as when they were young because of the magic of the ancient Horde.

-"That idiot Carinie might have let them escape, but that had not happened again!'' -Hordak grunted.

-"We've heard this before!" -Alexandra said, throwing several beams at the villains, who scattered across the field.

-"Such a mother, such a daughter!" -Mantenna remarked, retaliating with stalling rays from her eyes.

-"How can you? Adora was just the same on the battlefield! " -Scorpia speaks with anger and a look of disappointment on the queen.

She-ra smiles at the comment, then focuses on taking care of Hordak, seeing that his daughters and grandchildren were winning from the warriors and robots.

"You have no idea how much I waited for this rematch of that battle, She-ra!

"Oh, I suppose." She-ra said with a smile.

After a time of battle all the villains were defeated and returned to the mountain of the serpent, with Hordak talking.

"There will be a next time She-ra, and I will triumph!"

-You say that every time we fight, and I will always beat you in the next battle! You should know better than anyone else.'' -She-ra whispers to herself.

"Let's go, She-ra, let's go home." Veena put her hand on his arm.

The princess gave a sincere smile and nodded.

"Sorceress!" Veena screams, and then a portal appears, where everyone enters.
