Chapter IV: The Cogs are in Motion
Back on Horde Alpha, the Horde Troopers were busy torturing Adam, when Grizzlor came into the chamber "Lord Hordak demands to see the prisoner" he barked, the troopers grabbed Adam's battered body and forced him to walk to Hordak's chamber. When he arrived, he was too weak to stand, the troopers pointed their lances at the Prince and said "get moving, boy" they opened the door and forced Adam in, "Welcome, I trust now you've changed your tune" Hordak said looking Adam. Adam was but a shell of his former self. He was weakened from hours of torture, his throat was raw from poisoning, his face was bruised and battered, his eyes were swollen shut and nearly all of his teeth were missing. "Never, I will never let you harm my friends and family" Hordak smiled at Adam and said "So, even now as you lay weakened, defeated, powerless, and the verge of death itself you still stand strong. Even without your Sorceress, your Castle and your sword you still stand firm" Adam stared the best he could into Hordak's red eyes and said "why don't you kill me now, Hordak have your revenge Skeletor and me, get it over with" Hordak smiled and said "No not yet, I want your allies to see you, I want the world to see what happens to those who dare defy the will of Horde Prime" "guards take Adam away, give him some more Horde hospitality, but don't kill him, take him to the point death but don't kill him, he must remain alive, so his loved ones can see him" the troopers bowed and saluted Hordak and went to torture Adam some more.
Back on Earth, Bow and Glimmer were still watching the phone when, the Television mysteriously turned on, and a voice said "Greetings rebels" Bow turned around only to find the gruesome image of Hordak staring at them "Hordak" Bow shouted at the TV, "You'll probably wondering where you precious prince is now" Hordak taunted "What have you done with him" Glimmer demanded to know. Hordak smiled and said "Don't worry he's alive. for now. In fact you can see him just come to cemetery tonight and you'll see your prince" "We'll be there," Bow said waiting for Hordak's reply. Hordak smiled and said, "I think you'll be surprised" and with that the image vanished. "Glimmer, go wake Teela up we have to go rescue Adam" "right away" Glimmer said as she went to wake up Teela. Glimmer walked up the steps and went into Teela's Room "Teela, wake up, we found Adam, Hordak has him, we have to go" she said. Teela got out of bed rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and put her clothes and ran down the stairs.
The three ran as fast as they could, they ran until they reached the cemetery. "Look" Bow said as he saw a massive ship in the sky "its Horde Alpha" Glimmer and Teela said in unison as they beheld the evil majesty of Hordak's monstrous of ship. "Come on every one Adam needs us more than ever." Teela said as started towards the ship They ran for a couple more meters until they were standing right in front of Hordak himself. "Welcome" Hordak said in voice full of malice and glee "What have you done to Adam" Teela said as she looked Hordak straight in his red, unblinking eyes. He smiled with inhuman glee and said, "You want to see your prince, very well, guards bring out our guest." Two guards came out carrying Adam, he was obviously wounded Bow and Glimmer stared with look of shock; Teela however was a whirlwind of emotions. "I am willing to set him free, on one condition" Hordak said "What's that" Bow demanded to know, Hordak smiled and said "That you surrender and hand over this planet and it's inhabitants to become the subjects of Horde Prime" The three heroes were speechless "Don't worry, I'll give you an hour to decide" he said and with that he vanished. "Now what are going to do" Bow said as he and Glimmer were trying to think of a plan. What they didn't know was that Teela had stowed aboard Hordak's ship and had a plan of her own.
