Chapter II: The Mysterious Relative
Miles way in Space, Hordak was watching the events with great interest. "Hmmm?' The Ruthless Leader thought "Prince Adam's in prison, this could be just the opportunity to exact my revenge on Skeletor" "how, it's Adam that's in prison not Skeletor" Mantenna said confused by his master's logic, Hordak closed his eyes and a blot of energy blasted Mantenna across the room. "You see Mantenna," Hordak said as walked to where the Spy with the pop-out eyes lay "Skeletor killed Adora, who is my enemy, so if can capture and kill Adam, who is Skeletor's enemy, I will have my revenge on Skeletor" "Oh, I get it, Skeletor killed She-Ra, so you'll kill He-Man, but won't his family come after him?" Mantenna asked, Hordak simply laughed, "His family doesn't even know where he is, and if they can't find him, that means they can't save him, when I go down to claim him" "How are you going to get him though, they surely won't let him out simply because you want revenge, will they" Mantenna asked fearing Hordak's wrath, but to his surprised Hordak didn't zap him instead he thought and then replied "For once, Mantenna, you're right, but if they won't release him for the servant of Horde Prime." he said as he folded his cape around himself, "Then, they'll release him for a relative" Mantenna stood in awe at the sight before him, but before the spy could say anything, Hordak left the room laughing
Prince Adam was quite in a predicament; he was locked up in jail for sleeping on a public bench. He had been captured before by Skeletor and Hordak, but it was known that he was captured and the Masters or the Great Rebellion came after him, but now no one knew where he was, and it could be days or weeks until anyone comes for him. Just then, a tall man with dark hair came into the station. The sleeping guard woke up and said, "Who are you?" "I am Horatio Dakalson, I'm Adam's cousin, I'm here to take him home." The guard eyed up the stranger and said "that'll be two hundred dollars and fifty cents" Horatio just stood there, and unbeknownst to both Adam and the guard a dagger slipped out of his sleeve "I don't have that kind of money" he said as he clenched the knife in his hand "but I'll take a stab at getting it" he said as he plunged the knife through the helpless officer killing him instantly. The blade emitted a strange energy that cause the guards body to mysteriously vanish He then walked over to the cell, opened it grabbed Adam by the wrist and said "Hurry, we must leave" "wait I don't have a." before Adam could continue Horatio whisked Adam out of the cell and escaped.
While all this was happening, Teela was still worried about Adam. She had decided to go out and look for him. She checked the homeless shelter, where they stayed when they had first arrived on Earth. She went in, the sight of which brought back memories of Adora, and how much she meant to Adam. She knew that Adam loved her, but he and Adora shared a special bond, it was the bond that only twins have, but that bond was strengthened by the Power of Grayskull, and it was Grayskull's power that had made Adora so depressed when Adam was frozen by Hordak and sent out into space and Adam so cold to his family after Adora's death. However, Teela had no time to think about memories, her husband needed her and she was determined to get him back. After searching almost everywhere, she decided to check the cemetery where Adora had been buried. She entered and walked to Adora's grave, she knelt down in font of it, and said "How are you doing today Adora" No answer came "you know, things have been different since you left us, Adam's become distant he won't talk to me and now he's lost" She said as she tried to fight back tears "Adora, I wish you were hear" she bowed her head and said "Adora, I think it's more that I wish everything was back to normal, I wish that Hordak was right here, I'd kill him, I would make sure that he and his Horde would never harm anyone again. Hordak." she said as her voice began to break "Hordak is.is.is a vampire, an evil vampire, and if he and his demon of a student Skeletor were here, I would make sure that they experienced the same pain that you and Adam felt, I swear upon the Elders, I swear upon your own grave Adora, that Hordak and Skeletor would parish" she vowed as she began to weep uncontrollably. While she was crying she heard a voice say, "You shouldn't make such promises, they can lead to ruination" she looked up to see Father O'Reilly standing behind her. "Father O'Reilly" she said as she wiped away her tears. "That's Bishop O'Reilly," he said pointing to the scarlet lining on his black jacket and crimson skullcap. Teela tried her best to smile and said "congratulations, you must be very happy" The priest smiled and said "Yes and no, it's a tremendous honor when the pope calls you to this position, but I miss being a simple pastor, that's where I got to do the most good" "you haven't seen Prince Adam have you" Teela asked hoping that Adam had went to the church, The bishop shook his head and said "No, I would have seen him, I just finished inspecting St. Jude's" "What about the Church where the prayer service was held" "No, before I went to St. Jude's I checked St. John the Divine's" "would you like me to check around for you" he asked "No, Thank you, I'm sure he'll show up, I just need some time be alone" she said turning back towards Adora's grave, the priest stared at Teela skeptically and said "Well here's my card, if you need me" he said as handed Teela his card. "Thank you" she said as she took the card and looked at it. When the Bishop left, got up off the ground and walked home.
