Chapter 2: AN ATTENTION GETTER
Castle Grayskull, Eternia The Sorceress hadn't felt right all day. Something was clouding her mind and this bothered her. She leaned against a moss covered stonewall and tried to get her bearings. Suddenly, a sharp flash shot through her knocking her to her knees. "Aahh!" she moaned clutching her head. "What in.. Eternia is.. happening to me?" The pain subsided but it knocked all of the energy out of her. Using what little she had left, she used telepathy to send for reinforcements. "Prince Adam..."
Meanwhile, at Snake Mountain.. "Come quick!" Evil-Lyn yelled to her furry cohort Beast Man. The big red ogre stumbled into the chamber where Skeletor lay toppled over in this bony throne rubbing his temples. "Someone had better..explain this..to me..NOW!" he roared, obviously weakened by the flash that just shot through him. In all her years in Skeletor's service, Evil-Lyn had never seen her master crippled by.well nothing visible ever before. For a split second she considered taking advantage of the moment and taking care of Skeletor once and for all but she was cut off at the pass. "Don't even think about it Evil-Lyn," Skeletor warned as he started to sit up while leaning on his havoc staff. "That knocked me down but not out." Beast-man ran to his master's side and tried to help him up, but Skeletor pushed him away and then zapped him with a shot from his staff. "I'm fine, fool," he snapped. " You two go find out what in the name of Horde world just happened.quickly." The two minions looked down and exited the chambers. Skeletor leaned his bony head backward and took a deep breath. "Whatever that was," he thought to himself, "it was very, very powerful."
At the Royal Palace.. Prince Adam was desperately searching for his mentor, Man-At-Arms, to no avail. Adam had felt strange all day and ever since he received a disturbing, if not weak, message from the Sorceress, he thought he had better take a little back up on his trip out to Grayskull. "Duncan!" he yelled as he stepped in Man-At-Arms workshop. "He went downstairs to the generator room." A female voice said from behind him. Adam spun around to see his lifelong friend sitting on her father's desk reading some papers. "Teela, you scared the ever-loving life out of me," Adam quipped. Teela smirked back "Yeah, because THAT'S hard to do." Then she softened. "Hey, you don't look to good." Adam glared back at her. "Gee, thanks a heap." "No," she said. "I'm serious. Are you feeling okay?" Adam didn't want to let on than something was a miss. At 22-years-old, he was supposed to be at his peak health, but he felt off, and this worried him. "Yeah, I'm okay, I just need to talk to your dad," he told his friend. "Sorry I snapped at you." She smiled. "That's okay, everyone has been a little jumpy around here today." Adam went to the elevator and traveled down to the generator room where he found Man-At-Arms working intensely on something, but he couldn't see what. "Hey Duncan, what's going on around.." Adam started but was quickly cut off by his teacher. "I don't know what happened," he said cutting his pupil off. "I think there may have been an energy blast through the atmosphere, this brand new piece of eternium in the generator should last hundreds of years but it's dieing out. I needed to come down here and replace it." Adam became confused at what Duncan was telling him. Eternium was the most powerful substance on the planet, it shouldn't have been used up so quickly. "I didn't see an energy blast," he asked inquisitively. To that, Man-At- Arm's raised his eyebrow suspiciously. "I know, I didn't either, that's what makes this whole thing so strange." Adam's focus turned back to his original mission. "I need you to come to Grayskull with me, something's up." Man-At-Arms hesitated a little but then noticed how fatigued the young prince looked. "Alright, maybe we can figure out what's going on there," he said.
