Chapter IV: Ora pro nobis
While Hordak was busy finalizing his plans, Prince Adam was busy walking through the streets, when came upon a beautiful stone building. He stared at it and noticed that there was a sign on it:
Saint Jude's Roman Catholic Church
No problem is too great for God
"Wow, whoever this God is, he must be some sort of wonderworker" he though as ran up to enter the building. Inside hw found to be as magnificent as anything he's seen Eternia, it was decorating with beautiful color windows depicting different events some looked almost out of this world like the one entitled The Assumption of Our Lady and others looked sad and even gruesome like The Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus. At the Center was an altar and behind it was a statue of this Jesus person on the Cross, just like on the windows. He took seat in the back and knelt down to pray. The prayer was an ancient Eternian rhyme:
Elders of Eternia old, come and guide us home
Ye who from Grayskull's might did assume
power after the fight. Now in time of Dark Despair
Bring us wisdom uncompared
Adam looked up at the massive Crucifix and thought, "what to do? if I surrender, countless lives will be spared, but who will take care of Teela, Duncan and Adora, I could let Man-At-arms take care of them, but he always so busy with his inventions but if something would happen to him, then who would take car of them. Then if I don't surrender to Hordak and leave Earth, he would kill everyone on this planet and then everyone in the Universe until he would find me. What to do, what to do" he looked up and began to cry thinking about how either way he would not win. While Adam was crying, the pastor of the Church, Father O'Reilly, came into sanctuary and saw Adam sitting in the back. "How may I help my friend?" the kindly priest asked Adam looked up wiped his eyes and said, "I don't think you would be able to help me" Fr. O'Reilly smiled and said, "why don't we give it a shot?" Adam smiled and chuckled and begin to tell the tale of how Eternia and Etheria were destroyed by the evil Hordak and how he returned now demanding that he and his sister surrender and his worry over his family and how Hordak will destroy Earth and possibly the universe in trying find him. "I see" the pastor said as he offered Adam a handkerchief "How about you negotiate with Hordak maybe he'll accept only you and allow your sister to take car of your family" he suggested. "do you think it will work" Adam asked "you will never know until you try it" O'Reilly answered.
Meanwhile Adora and Teela were busy coming up with their own plan. "What about this Teela: Me and Adam surrender to Hordak you sneak up and free us and then we take on Hordak?" Adora asked. "No, he'll suspect something" she said "Well, can't let Adam who has done nothing but good be handed over to Hordak, We can't just give up on him, can we?" Adora asked as she tried to think of way to pull this off. Teela had just about enough of this she got out the snake staff and said "Does this look like I'm giving up, Adora, or maybe you'd just like to do this on your own Princess of Power" Adora likewise got out her sword and said "I am NOT giving up on Adam, and for your information, Captain the name's She-Ra". They were just about to fight when they saw Duncan watching TV in the living room "we shouldn't fight like this, Teela" Adora said "you're right, what we do need is to think of a way that we can pull off our little plan without Hordak knowing about" Teela replied and the two began to think of a plan.
