Julie seemed to be walking toward a friendly-looking woman who smiled angelically at her.

Ram-Man blinked. "Um... Why's Julie walking towards Evil-Lyn?" he asked.

"Oh, no..." Atticus said. "Evil-Lyn must be using a spell like rose-colored glasses."

"Uh... What...?" Thor asked.

"Rose-colored glasses," Atticus replied as he explained. "Basically, it shows you something very happy and optimistic. Having a very positive outlook on something. Evil-Lyn must've manipulated Julie into seeing something else... Like... This is just a shot in the dark, but like her mother."

"Also, she IS voiced by Kathleen Barr," said Lionel. "So, yeah, of course she would pull this Changeling bullcrap."

"We gotta stop Julie then!" Atticus said.

"I think we might be a little late." said Lionel as Julie ran back inside to get the Cosmic Key.

"Julie! Stop it!" Cherry called out.

Julie didn't seem to hear her as she went to bring the Cosmic Key back to "her mother".

"Aaaaand the word of the day is 'doomed'." groaned Thor.

"Your uncle is gonna kill me." Atticus mumbled.

Julie smiled happily, giving up the Cosmic Key.

"Thank you, my darling." Evil-Lyn smiled back, taking it before hugging Julie until something seemed to change for Julie visibly.

"I think it just hit her." Cherry said.

Julie stepped away to see Evil-Lyn, then realized what she had just done. "NO!" she then screamed out with misfortune.

"Yep... There it is," said Lionel. "The realization that she done fucked up."

"It's not her fault though," Cherry sighed. "Evil-Lyn tricked her."

"True..." Lionel nodded.

"Julie!" Kevin called out as he soon rushed towards her.

The two soon ran into each other to hug as Julie felt emotional right now.

"I haven't felt this sick to my stomach since Aunt Irma tried to get me to marry this young warlock she threatened to turn into a dung beetle unless we agreed to go out together." Sabrina groaned.

"Jeez, talk about forcing a relationship." Thor winced.

"Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda said she used to do the same with them." Sabrina nodded.

"I'd hate to see her reaction to when Aunt Hilda went off with Uncle Drell." Thor grinned sheepishly to his new cousin.

The troopers soon came back to attack the others as Evil-Lyn had the Cosmic Key.

"We'll talk later," Thor told Sabrina. "Let's kick some buns."

"Now that's something I agree on." Sabrina replied.

"You troopers want some more?" Thor smirked. "I'm gonna bring down the thunder!"

"We'd love to stay and kick ya around a little more," said Trap-Jaw. "But Evil-Lyn sez we have what we came for."

"So it's time to go!" Tri-Klops snickered as he and the other Lords of Destruction took off back to the Hover Skull.

"Where are they going?" He-Man asked.

"Probably back to Ethernia." Cherry glared.

The troopers soon followed behind as they fired a few more shots to try and blast the heroes.

"Gah!" Cherry yelped before ducking before shooting out her own laser pistol back while she still could. "I'm not scared of you, Darth Losers!"

The few remaining troopers yelped and shouted as they beat a hasty retreat with their fellow comrades.

"That woman took the key!" Julie exclaimed.

"Then we must follow them!" She-Ra replied as she and the others took to their heels and raced off after the villains.

"Charlie... You got a gun in here?" asked Lubic.

Charlie stammered a little, stunned silent by what he'd just seen.

"A gun, a gun! For holdups!" Lubic told him, slapping his face lightly.

"In the front room, under the counter!" Charlie managed to say.

"You got one?" asked Lubic. "Good, c'mon, let's go!"

But as they re-entered the music store, they got an eyeful of the carnage that had occurred. The windows were broken, the instruments were either in shambles or damaged, and there were small fires everywhere.

"Gosh... It's really gone to Hell in here..." Mo frowned with concern.

"Oh, my God," Charlie said with dismay. "My store... My keyboards..."

"Look at this place," Lubic added. "Look at those guys."

"The Holograms won't like this..." Kevin said.

"Erm... Holograms?" Atticus asked.

"They're a musical group of friends of mine and Julie's," Kevin explained. "They hang around here a lot."

"Right... What Jerrica Benton used to do that Mom told me about when she was in high school..." Cherry said to herself. "Mr. Charlie, I'm sorry about your music store, but we have bigger things to worry about, such as the threat of the universe!"

"That kid's right... Also this is an invasion," Lubic added. "Gimme the gun."

"Are you screwy, man?" asked Lionel. "You saw what those guys were packin'! A gun ain't gonna do diddly against them!"

But Lubic paid him no heed as he'd already gotten Charlie's shotgun and ran outside to deal with the troopers.

"Police!" Charlie shouted. "Nobody move!"

The troopers turned back to face him, and Lubic ducked behind a car as they opened fire with their laser rifles, leaving the vehicle a burning pile of wreckage.

Lubic glanced up at the wreckage. "Holy shit..." he remarked. "Think I'm gonna need some backup..."

Atticus and Cherry shared deadpan glances with each other from that. A new hovercar soon rode over to show Drell driving it with a couple behind him, the man looked a lot like Paragus looked from Dragon Ball Z along with a certain girl who looked a lot like a perkier and friendlier version of Cherry.

"Drell... Moxie... Zolten... Zoe..." Cherry said. "What're you guys doing here?"

"I tried to distract the family with Thor being gone, but they were gonna lynch me if I didn't assure them that he was doing just fine!" Drell said. "What's going on here?!"

"The bad guys are almost winning." Atticus said nervously.

"And we're nearing the climax of the film!" Lionel added. "Wait... I know Drell, but who are the others?"

"These are my parents," Thor introduced the couple as they came out to their son. "Moxie and Zolten."

"Oh, Thornton!" Moxie said, hugging her son tightly.

"Augh! Mom!" Thor cried out until she kissed him all over his face.

"Your uncle said you would be with friends, but I tried calling you, but you didn't answer." Moxie pouted.

"Ohhhh," noted Lionel. "Hi there, Mr. and Mrs. Moltenscar. Pleased to finally meet you."

"Hey," Zolten said. "You must be one of Thor's new friends."

"Yep!" Lionel replied.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, but I have to scold my brother for sending my son away on a big and dangerous adventure again." Moxie glared slightly at Drell.

"You know it's part of my job, Mox," Drell defended. "Besides, they're fine! ...Aside from this looking like Skeletor is taking over Earth."

"Are you with those villains?" Lubic asked.

"Why does everyone think I'm a villain?!" Drell replied with offense. "I'm a moral guardian!"

"...Forgive him, he's new." Lionel shrugged, referring to Officer Lubic.

"Hm..." Drell replied.

Zoe soon leaped out of the car as Moxie let Thor go only for him to jump up and pin down the young warlock.

"Zozo..." Thor blushed.

"Hey, Thor~" Zoe smirked, kneeling over him. "We're gonna help you against Evil-Lyn, Skeletor, and anyone else involved here."

"Awesome," said Lionel, as the winds began to howl. "And it looks like you couldn't have picked a better time to arrive!"

"Why? What's going on?" asked Lubic.

"Someone's using the Cosmic Key to open a portal!" replied Gwildor. "And from the looks of it...it's a big one!"

Man-at-Arms' eyes widened. "Then the only reason they'd open a portal that big... SKELETOR!" he exclaimed.

"No doubt he's got plenty of his troops flanking him," added Teela.

It was true; as the portal opened, swarms of Centurion troopers poured out, and at the end was Skeletor himself, riding atop a large floating platform that hovered through the city streets like an evil parade float.

"Come along, dear, it's like the Netherworld War." Zolten told his wife.

"Oh, careful, Zolten." Moxie replied.

Zolten soon magicked himself in a bit of magical armor with his own sword.

"There was a war in the Netherworld?!" Cherry asked.

"I'll explain later," Zolten replied. "Right now, we gotta stop that Bonehead."

"My sentiments exactly." said Adam with a nod.

"Seriously, there was a war in the Netherworld?" Cherry asked.

"Yes, and it nearly cost me my life," Drell replied. "No thanks to Della Plotsworth... But who has time to go into all of that?"

"ME! Tell me about this war!" Cherry said. "I don't remember this from Charm School!"

"None of us do," replied Lionel. "I figure it had something to do with the troll people, since they're totally anti-witch."

They soon charged in after He-Man, She-Ra, and the others.

"Come on, He-Man; it's time to rumble!" Atticus called out to the prince.

"Right," Adam nodded as he lifted his sword up once again. "By the Power of Greyskull... I... HAVE... THE POWER...!"

Cherry took a random shot of fruit punch from that catchphrase. Zoe soon magicked herself in her own armor as she got ready to help out.

"You're so cute when you look feisty." Thor said to her.

"Well, I must be gorgeous, 'cuz I'm furious!" Zoe replied.

"Aw-aw-AWOOOGAH!" Thor mimicked a foghorn, stomping his foot like Thumper.

"Let's do this." He-Man glared, ready to face Skeletor.

"Yes." Thor replied bashfully.

They soon dashed off as Skeletor was on his way and began to reach contact for Evil-Lyn.

"So... You have reclaimed the Cosmic Key," said Skeletor. "You have done well, Evil-Lyn."

"Only the best for you, My Lord." Evil-Lyn replied.

Skeletor cradled the key in his blue fingers. "Only a matter of time until that muscle-headed twit He-Man and his worthless sister She-Ra come along..." he remarked.

The others soon raced into two teams down the street.

"Stay close, kids," Zolten told the group. "This might get dangerous."

"Hopefully." Thor replied to his father.

"Where to then?" Mo asked.

"On the roof," He-Man suggested. "Come on!"

And so he bent down and leapt onto the roof with ease.

"They're turning around to come back!" exclaimed Orko.

"Keep moving!" She-Ra replied.

"Gwildor, your grappler," said Teela. "Give it to me!"

Gwildor looked over.

"You can trust me, now come on!" Teela said before she took a hold of it. She took aim and fired the grappling hook onto the rooftop, then climbed up the rope.

"I gotta do something..." Cherry sighed. "I can't just sit around and do nothing. I'm just not a strong fighter or a good shot. If only I could prove myself to the others somehow."

"Why is it that you keep forgetting you have powers?" asked Lionel. "Seriously, it's super-confusing!"

"I don't know what to do or how to use them against the bad guys." Cherry replied.

"Well, using them to fight back or subdue the villains comes to mind," replied Lionel. "I get that you're not a good shot or a strong fighter, but you can at least try! Cuz if you don't, then you're basically giving up. And I've never really known you to give up... Not when it counts, at least."

"Don't make me come over there, Cherry!" Drell's voice called out.

"Dah! Uh, no, that won't be necessary!" Cherry replied. "Lionel's helping me out!"

"I should hope so!" Thor's voice added. "It's better to try and fail than to have never tried at all!"

"Did you swallow a fortune cookie's fortune again?" Cherry rolled her eyes.

"Here! Catch!" Thor's voice said before hitting her with a blast of his magic, making her yelp out. "This should sustain you until those trooper wussies back down in fear!"

"Well, unless you're waiting for an engraved invitation, I say go for it." Lionel shrugged as he followed the others to the rooftop.

Cherry blinked rapidly and soon moved against her will to jump up to the rooftop with the others. "Whoa! Hey! What's... Happening to me?!"

"Whoops..." Thor said. "Must've given her some auto-fighter magic."

"Whatever," shrugged Mo. "At least she's contributing!"

"Thooor! I can't control my body!" Cherry cried out. "I'm being possessed!"

"Hey, be thankful I didn't blood-bend you." Atticus said.

Cherry shuddered from that.

"Where are He-Man and She-Ra?" Orko asked as they all met up on the roof.

"There!" Kevin pointed at the Twins of Power, as they were both surfing through the sky on two air platforms they'd hijacked from Skeletor's Centurions.

"Look out, bone-brain," glared He-Man. "Because here we come... Ready or not."

The duo flew over Evil-Lyn and the other Lords of Destruction, firing the laser pistols at them, and while Trap-Jaw and Tri-Klops were distracted, She-Ra used her sword to turn into a lasso and snatch back the Cosmic Key.

"You know, it isn't nice to take things that aren't yours," she replied. "So we'll make sure it gets back to its rightful owner!"

"NO...!" Evil-Lyn roared in anger. "...They must NOT use that key!"

Karg and Beast Man looked to her before they soon all walked off together with strong urgency. She-Ra kept the key safe as she hovered away with her brother. Lasers shot as someone soon hovered toward them, hitting He-Man's shoulder blade, making him drop his laser pistol.

"How dare you!" She-Ra glared from that. She held down the Sword of Protection and sliced the Centurion's air platform in half, making it explode.

"Thanks for that, sis," He-Man smiled, before spotting another Centurion. "But it looks like we've got one more."

And so the duo both sped off after the Centurion, who was trying his best to get away.

"Centurion," said Skeletor over the comlink. "Lead them to me."

The Centurion gave a quick nod, and flew off.

"Nothing that we can't handle." She-Ra said to her brother.

Meanwhile...

"What do you say, Gwildor?" Atticus soon asked. "Any signal from the Key? There's got to be something!"

"Unfortunately, no," Gwildor shook his head. "Nothing!"

"Sorry, guys." Orko said softly.

"That's okay, Orko." Mo coaxed to him as it wasn't his fault.

"They should be here by now." Teela spoke up.

I'm not worried about He-Man and She-Ra," Man-at-Arms told her. "They know how to take care of themselves. I'm more worried about getting us out of here before the others find us."

Unbeknownst to them, a familiar foe was rising up behind them.

"I only have two numbers left," said Gwildor. "Once we get the key back, we'll be gone within two pretons!"

"Oh, I think not, Gwildor." said Skeletor smugly.

Teela and Man-at-Arms fired their blasters, but Skeletor blocked them with ease.

"Well now... This is no way to treat your beloved ruler!" Skeletor said in a mocking tone. "Now, you will either throw down your weapons or die."

"Try me." Atticus narrowed his eyes at Skeletor.

Skeletor sat there simply as it looked like everyone else was giving up. Cherry tried to drop her weapon, but it looked like her body refused to let her do that. Teela and Man-at-Arms reluctantly tossed their weapons down as the Centurions surrounded them.

"Gwildor...you minüte minion..." Skeletor remarked. "I have you to thank for all these troubles. Why? I had such grand plans for you."

"I would never knowingly serve the lord of Snake Mountain!" Gwildor replied.

"Yeah! Wait till He-Man and She-Ra arrive!" Orko added. "They'll see to you! Just like always!"

"Oh, will they?" Skeletor asked smugly. "I expect them at any moment. TAKE THEM!"

Gwildor shrieked as the Centurions began to swarm around them. Skeletor smiled to himself as his plan was falling into place. Cherry suddenly jumped down in front of the others.

"What's this?" Skeletor asked.

"Uh... Back off!" Cherry told the Centurions. "I won't let you take my friends!"

"So, you've got spirit," remarked Skeletor. "We'll see how long it lasts. Centurions: kill her."

The Centurions aimed their lasers at Cherry, but she suddenly flipped out of the way, causing them to shoot each other.

"Seriously, what is happening to me?!" Cherry asked.

"Thornton Moltenscar, have you been looking through my forbidden spell book again?" Drell asked sternly.

"Uh... No...?" Thor looked away bashfully.

Lionel sighed as he took out a video game controller. "Oh, never mind, I got this." he replied as he began making it so Cherry spin-kicked several Centurions and knocked their heads together to knock them unconscious.

"We'll talk about this later." Drell told his nephew.

"Yes, Uncle." Thor replied.

Cherry yelped and gasped from what happened to her, though at least she was winning in a physical fight.

"Hmm... How very curious..." Skeletor said as he observed Cherry.

"Alright... This should be enough to keep them at bay until the Power Twins arrive." Lionel said to himself as he continued using the controller.

"Please hurry, you guys." Atticus prayed to himself.

"You're merely a mouse... How are you doing this?" Evil-Lyn glared at Cherry.

"I honestly have no idea." Cherry said, punching and kicking more Centurions without looking.

Just then, a Centurion flew up to the roof, with He-Man and She-Ra right on his tail.

"HE-MAN! SHE-RA, NO!" screamed Julie. "IT'S A TRAP!" But as she ran to stop them, Skeletor stuck out his hand and a bolt of purple electricity shot her in the leg, making her go down.

"JULIE!" Kevin screamed as he tried to run to his girlfriend, but the Centurions held him back.

He-Man jumped from the flaming air platform and tried to grab the Cosmic Key, but Skeletor used his purple lightning to fry the key's circuitry.

"Goodness!" She-Ra gasped a bit.

"Is Julie okay?!" Cherry asked.

Kevin came to Julie in worry; luckily, she seemed to be okay.

"Kevin..." Julie said softly.

Skeletor smiled darkly as he seemed to enjoy that. The Centurions grabbed He-Man and She-Ra, but they got to their feet and began fighting back. But once they started slicing with their swords, they seemed to be making even more headway than they had previously been. Teela, Man-at-Arms, Ram-Man, and Orko soon broke out of their cuffs and began fighting back as well.

"Stay where you are, He-Man!" Skeletor boomed. "That goes for your sister, too! One more move, and none of your friends will live to see another day!"

It was a very intense moment as the Power Twins froze in their spots with no other options on what to do next.

"Here comes the sadistic choice." Thor whispered.

"Shh." Moxie shushed her son.

"Sorry, Mom." Thor replied.

"I give you two a choice," Skeletor told the Power Twins darkly. "Return with me to Eternia as my slaves and save their despicable lives or perish with them on this primitive and tasteless planet. Surrender your weapons."

He-Man and She-Ra glanced at each other, and then at their allies. They both knew that Skeletor had them dead to rights this time, and that they only had one choice. So they gave up while they still had the chance.

"You guys, NO!" Teela cried out to them.

Kevin continued to comfort his fallen girlfriend.

"Teela, we have no choice," He-Man replied as he was shackled first. "This is our fight."

"But why?" Atticus asked, feeling sad in defeat.

"We don't want innocent people to die." She-Ra replied as she was next.

"Well said, you two," Skeletor said to the siblings. "How noble."

"N-No... Th-This can't be how it ends..." Mo said shallowly.

"Of course it's not." replied Lionel.

"I just feel so queasy right now..." Mo said.

"It'll be okay, Mo," Atticus soothed his girlfriend. "I promise you."

They then shared a hug to help cheer up Mo as she looked very sick to her stomach.

"Take care of them." He-Man soon said.

"Good journey." Man-at-Arms saluted from that.

And so, the Twins of Power were taken back through the gateway to Eternia, as Skeletor's prisoners.

"What about them, sir?" A trooper asked about the remaining others.

The others looked to Skeletor, wondering what he would have planned for them.

"Leave the rest of them alone," Skeletor soon said with an evil smile. "He-Man and She-Ra are my slaves. As long as I let their friends live, the siblings are bound by their word. Let them rot," he then said with an evil chuckle. "Let them rot."

The villains then took that as their cue to go.

"Let me look at her, Kevin." Teela told Kevin to take a look at Julie.

"What's wrong with her?" Kevin asked with concern.

"This is Skeletor's particular gift." Man-at-Arms replied.

"Gwildor, we need to get back to Eternia." Teela urged.

"Immediately." Man-at-Arms replied.

"There's little chance of that." Orko said.

"Whatya mean?" Atticus asked.

"The power core's melted down," Gwildor informed regretfully. "The tones are erased from the Key's memory. There's no way home."

"No way." Orko added.

"Drell, surely you can take us back to Eternia." Sabrina said hopefully.

"Maybe... But it'd take a lot of power." Drell said.

"You wanna try it?" Cherry asked.

"Hmm... I guess..." Drell replied. "Everybody gather 'round."

Everyone came toward him as he soon tried to use as much magic and power as he could to send them all to Eternia. Suddenly, the group vanished in a flash of light.
