Chapter III: Santa's Christmas Visitor
While He-Man was searching for Hordak, Rattlor and Tung Lashor were searching the stables. "Tung Lassshor," the general hissed "We mussst capture this Christmasss Magic for ourselves, with it we can free King Hsss from Despondossss and teach that fool Hordak a lesson he will never forget," Rattlor exclaimed. "I agree general we musst interrogate anyone we see, they might be able to show us a way to reach this Sssanta Clauss and hisss Magic," Tung Lashor replied. The Two Snakes smiled as the continued their search.
Grizzlor and Mantenna were searching the Workshop, they searched all the closets until the found the factory. "Its locked Hordak will be furious," Mantenna said he tried to open the door. "Let me try!" Grizzlor yelled, and with a one push, the Hairy Henchman ripped the doors off the hinges and said with a feigned politeness "After you Mantenna" The Spy with the pop out eyes thanked his compatriot and entered. The elves who were busy working stopped and gazed in fear and fascination at these creatures who burst in. "All right." Grizzlor growled, "You all now prisoners of the almighty Hordak, I am Grizzlor, commander of Lord Hordak's Forces, you will line up to be processed and wait for Hordak's arrival," The Hairy Henchman barked. "Mantenna contact Hordak, tell him to send Horde Troopers at once and tell him that this building is secured" he ordered his fellow Hordesman "At once, Commander," Mantenna answered.
While Grizzlor and Mantenna were rounding up the elves, Hordak and Skeletor were searching for Santa. "This music is making me sick Hordak can we please just go back to Eternia and forget about this Christmas Magic, it probably doesn't exists anyway," Skeletor whined. Hordak paused, His eyes glowed a bright blood red, he turned and said "Never, I am Hordak, and as long as someone has a magic that I do not possess I will not rest until he is captured and I posses his magic," he exclaimed and threw Skeletor to the ground. "Very well, my lord," the Overlord of Evil acquiesced and got up and followed his former teacher. After much searching they approached a large ornate red and green door, a sinister smile crossed Hordak's demonic face "At last, here is where this Santa Claus is hiding, I can sense his magic already, soon I Hordak, will be the most powerful being in all the universe," he gloated. Suddenly, Hordak noticed a light flashing on his left gauntlet, he pressed a button on it and said, "Yes," "Hordak, this Mantenna." A voice answered, "What is Mantenna?" "Hordak, we have secured the workshop, we are requesting that you send Horde Troopers to process the prisoners we rounded up," Hordak thought for a moment and said "very well, Mantenna, I am sending a detachment right now." Skeletor approached his 'leader' and said "Great and Powerful Hordak may accompany your troopers to this workshop and confirm that they have succeeded?" Hordak paused and said "very well Skeletor, go, and confirm for me that the workshop is captured, I can surely take on this Santa Claus by myself," and Skeletor left for the workshop. Hordak reached for the door and found it locked; he grinned and said, "your locks are no match for my magic," He raised his hands and said "Izakan xuzir martais phalarmiucm," and with that the doors were blasted to splinters. Santa was busy checking his lists when he heard a disturbance , turned around and saw the sinister figure of Hordak standing in the doorway.
