Part 3
Sy-Clone
spun out of the forest with a whirlwind of dust. A confused Beast Man looked up
from throwing a large chest onto the ground. Sy-Clone sprinted towards him as
he threw the chest directly at him. With too much momentum to stop he turned
his shoulder into it as it busted on top of him knocking him momentarily to the
ground.
Beast
Man ran towards his grounded victim with his long black whip in hand. Sy-Clone
looked up noticing the whip coming towards him. He quickly lifted his arm and
caught the whip in his hand. Pulling it hard Beast Man flew hard towards him,
and then he was the one hitting the ground as Sy-Clone greeted his face with a
fist.
From
the top of an overturned wagon in front of Sy-Clone a large green cat came
flying in right in front of him accompanied by He-Man. "What have I
missed?" asked He-Man sarcastically.
"You're
about to find out," said Sy-Clone as Beast Man jumped on He-Man's back knocking
him off of Battlecat.
He-Man
quickly threw Beast Man off and turned around ready for the next move. Beast
Man pushed himself off of the ground. Senselessly he charged toward He-Man.
With ease He-Man stepped to the side as Beast Man ran right into the back of
the overturned wagon.
"You
never learn do you, Beast Man?" He-Man said smirking at the befuddled
villain with his head through the bottom of a wagon. "Got him,
Sy-Clone?"
"I'll
bring him in. I think Tri-Clops is further down the road." Sy-Clone said
pointing the way. "I'll be there after I tie up Beast Man"
He-Man
took off down the road motioning Battlecat to follow. He heard something around
the bend of the road and saw more broken wagons. He turned the corner followed
by Battlecat and saw Tri-Clops on top of Teela on the ground.
Battlecat
quickly jumped over the debris scattered across the crown and jumped on the
three-eyed villain knocking him off of Teela. Teela quickly moved out of the
way as Battlecat clawed at Tri-Clops.
In
a panic Tri-Clops shot at Battlecat with a laser from his red eye blowing
Battlecat off of him. He-Man approached Tri-Clops ready for a fight, but
Tri-Clops quickly moved back drawing his sword. "Careful, He-Man."
said Teela as she moved back to help Battlecat.
He-Man
noticed Tri-Clops' red eye moving towards the front again and was ready for the
red laser. He quickly drew his sword and reflected the beam. Tri-Clops then
engaged with his sword.
He-Man
struck the long green blade throwing Tri-Clops off balance. He swung again at
the monster, but Tri-clops barely deflected the blade with his own. Backing
apart from each other again they paced slowly in a circle keeping their
distance.
Out
of nowhere Tri-Clops was then again knocked to the ground by Battlecat. His
sword was thrown. "Get off me you beast!" yelled Tri-Clops struggling
to break free.
"Who
are you calling a beast!" replied an angered Battlecat continuing to
pounce on him.
Teela
ran to recover the green blade on the ground as He-Man adorned Tri-Clops with a
new pair of cuffs. "You can get off of him now, Cat," said He-Man as
Battlecat gave Tri-Clops one last hit.
"Looks
like we got our culprits, He-Man." Teela said walking back towards them,
and then giving Battlecat a rub on the neck. "And your jumping came in
quite handy."
"I
knew it had to be someone as sick as these guys to do something like that, and
you guys are going to pay for it now." He-Man said pulling Tri-Clops' head
back with his hand.
"What
are you guys talking about? We only busted up some wagons." Tri-Clops said
in pain.
"Yeah,
whatever." Teela said as He-Man threw Tri-Clops' head back into the
ground.
He-Man
looked up and the look of victory on his face was erased as he heard a familiar
voice call his name. Without saying bye to Teela he called to Battlecat.
"We have to go, Cat. Let's move.

The
Sorceress struggled on the ground entangled with Evil-lyn. "I've waited
for this moment for a long time Sorceress of Grayskull. I am too great for you
to handle."
The
Sorceress produced another blaze of energy shooting Evil-lyn off and into the
side of a rock. Lifting her head trying to regain her balance Evil-lyn stood up
again. The Sorceress had begun to run to the other side of Point Dread.
Evil-lyn lifted her blue scepter and a green beam shot towards the Sorceress.
She
was encompassed in a force field and being drawn back to the Evil-lyn.
"You have no hero to save you now." Evil-lyn remarked with pleasure.
The
Sorceress felt sick inside the green field. "It was you. Wasn't it?"
the Sorceress asked almost sick at the obvious answer.
"I'm
not sure what you mean, but it's me now." Evil-lyn said. "And you
won't be anything pretty soon."
As
soon as she finished her statement He-Man toppled her to the ground as her
scepter flew from her hand. The force field broke around the Sorceress, and she
fell towards the ground only to be recovered by Stratos swooping down from the
clouds.
He-Man
very roughly picked Evil-lyn up and threw her against a large stone, and then
lifted her up again. "What do you think you're doing?" yelled He-Man
right in her face squeezing her with enormous strength.
Evil-lyn
showed no response with her face. Enraged, He-Man threw her against the stone
again and lifted his fist towards her. "Don't He-Man!" pleaded a
weak, well-known voice.
"Sorceress!"
He-Man said running to her side. "Are you okay? What were you doing?"
"I'm
fine, He-Man," calmly said the Sorceress. "I just need
Grayskull."
He-Man
looked up to Stratos who was still at her side. "Can you fly her to
Grayskull? The servants will be there. I'm sure." He then turned back
towards the Sorceress rubbing some dirt from her face. "Was it her
who..?"
The
Sorceress lifted her hand to He-Man's lips stopping him from finishing his
question. "I believe so."
He-Man
knew who it was now. "It is done now Stratos. Take her to Grayskull."
Stratos lifted the Sorceress from the ground and took off towards the mystic
castle.
He-Man
disgustedly walked back towards Evil-lyn who was lying half-conscience on the
ground. "How can you be so sick?" He-Man questioned knowing there
wasn't an answer.

He-Man
pushed Evil-lyn through the doorway of the dungeon below the Eternian palace.
Teela was already there locking up Beast Man and Tri-Clops. She looked up from
locking their cells and jumped back at the site of Evil-lyn.
"Don't
worry, Teela. I have our real killer." He-Man said as Teela relaxed when
she realized He-Man was behind her.
"What about these two
then?" Teela said obviously confused.
"Did
you really think two people that dumb could have pulled it off so well?
Evil-lyn would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for the
Sorceress." He-Man said as he threw her into a cell. "That was
Evil-lyn's next target."
"The Sorceress!" Teela
said in disbelief. "Is she okay?"
"She's
fine now. Grayskull will take care of her." He-Man said solemnly.
"I'm going to see her now."
"Will you be here for the big
summit tonight?" Teela asked.
Knowing
he and Prince Adam couldn't be there he replied, "I don't think so Teela.
I don't like to get mixed up with royalty things."
"Give
my best wishes to the Sorceress then. I'll make sure Evil-lyn stays right where
she belongs. We won't be able to have a hearing before the judges until the
morning. I'm just glad it's over."
"I hope it is," said He-Man as
he walked out the door.
