Chapter V: Hordak's Christmas Intruders

Back at Grayskull, the Sorceress informed He-Man of the situation, "The threats are now tripled," she said "How" He-Man asked, "Rattlor and Tung Lashor are planning to use the Christmas Magic to free King Hsss from Despondos, and Skeletor is using Santa's elves to create an evil robot of you, you must stop both these plans and Hordak as well." She said grimly. He bowed his head "I'll get Man-At-Arms and Teela to help me." "Good luck He-Man." she said and with that He-Man left Grayskull.

Moments later He-Man was at the royal palace; there he found Duncan and Teela decorating the palace. "Man-At-Arms, Teela, I need you help, we need to go to Snake Mountain, Hordak has taken Santa Claus Prisoner and Rattlor is planning to use the Christmas Magic to free King Hsss from Despondos. "We're with you he-man" Teela said, and the three of them rushed for Snake Mountain to stop the events that were unfolding.

Meanwhile Skeletor was using the elves, to create an android that looked like He-Man, and they were almost done, The Head Elf had went to get Skeletor. "You robot his complete Skeletor" the elf said to the man who once went by the name Keldor. Skeletor looked at the newly created warrior, it looked like He-man, expect it was blue instead of flesh colored, it had orange hair instead of blonde, and instead of He-Man's armor it wore an orange version of Skeletor's armor. In it's hand was an orange and purple version of the Power Sword. Skeletor eyes glowed red and yelled, "How's he supposed to get into Grayskull?" (What Skeletor didn't know was that the elves did it on purpose, so that Skeletor would never succeed.) The Head Elf said "we made him that way in honor of you Great Skeletor" Skeletor laughed and said "Well done, I will call him Faker, he still might be of some use to me."

Hordak was sitting in his throne room, trying to think of a way to get at the Christmas Magic, when all of a sudden He-Man, Man-At-Arms, and Teela burst in to the room "sorry to drop in on you Hordak, but we thought we'd bring you a little Christmas joy!" He-Man said. Hordak grinned menacingly and said, "Really, you are no match for me" the Ruthless Leader exclaimed as he raised his arms preparing to cast a spell. "We have a little magic too, Hordak" He-Man said as pulled a small book. Hordak laughed, "a book, is that your weapon, what are you going to do, give me a paper cut" He-Man smiled, "no we're going to sing to you Hordak, ready Hark the Herald angels sing glory to the newborn King." The joyful singing brought Hordak to his knees "Please stop that joyful, happy singing" He-Man lifted the Ruthless Leader off the ground and said, "Where's Santa, Hordak?" Hordak remained silent "Okay guys let's regale Hordak with 'Have a Holly Jolly Christmas'" He-Man said as he turned the page of his songbook. Hordak's grated his sharp teeth as they sang the happy tune "All right! I'll tell you, he's down at the lowest levels of Snake Mountain, just please stop that singing" Hordak shouted as He-Man dropped him to the ground. Hordak crawled back to his throne, just as he was doing that He-Man came back into the room, and said "Oh, and Hordak, call off your men or else we'll continue our caroling" Hordak thought he could send for a thousands of troops to come now and destroy He-Man, or he could let him go and be free of all this Christmas pain once and for all, he acquiesced to the latter and He-Man went to rejoin his friends.
