Chapter III: She-Ra's Doom

PRINCESS ADORA'S DIARY

12th DAY IN THE FOURTH YEAR IN THE HORDE'S OCCUPATION OF ETHERIA

When I arrived back at Castle Brightmoon, I found Angella, Bow, and Glimmer sitting in the throne room. They looked concerned.

"What's going on?" I asked as entered the Throne room. I could tell that Hordak was up to something.

Angella looked up at me, she was studying a map of the Fright Zone, "We have reason to believe that Horde Prime has chosen a new being to conquer Etheria," she said grimly.

Hordak's defeat today must have been so bad that Horde Prime had to recall him and send someone new to take over.

"Who is the being he's sent?" I asked wanting to fond out how it was that just came to Etheria.

"We don't know," Bow told me, "All that we know is that Horde Prime teleported something large to the Fright Zone just after you came back from fighting him."

"Don't worry I'll figure out what's going on," I said, She-Ra would not let this new being succeed in his goal.

Angella smiled at me, "Thank you Adora, and may Light Hope protect you," she said as I left the room.

When I reached the outside of the Palace, I went to small worded area, there I held aloft the Sword of Protection and declared "For the Honor of Grayskull…!"

A bright light surrounded and energy filled my very being, the power of King Grayskull was now inside me "I am She-Ra!" I declared as the transformation ended. Now only one thing remained, to head to the Fright Zone and stop this new threat.

When I arrived at the Fright Zone I noticed that there were several new additions to the place, strange flags were placed all over and strange robots, not Horde Troops, but other robots guarded the fortress.

I entered the Fright Zone, the same robots were found inside, whoever this is he's not affiliated with Horde. I had to be careful; this person probably set traps all over.

I was amazed to see that where Hordak's Throne Room once stood now a large laboratory was there.

I decided to take a closer look, when heard footsteps behind me, I turned around and saw an army of robots behind.

"You've bit more than you can chew," I told them as drew forth the Sword of Protection ready to fight.

They attacked with lasers, I tried to block them with my sword, at first I was successful but they're too many of them to fight. I tried to fight them off, but before I could lift a finger I was struck with a blaster bolt, everything went black.

When I came to found myself strapped to a platform, I tried to break the straps but they were too strong even for me to break.

"Don't waste your time, those shackles are made of Adamantium, and even you could break free the power nullifier will drain your powers even as you try to escape," a voice said in thick Eastern Etherian accent.

"Who are you?" I asked trying to discern who my captor is.

A tall man covered from head to toe in metal armor came out of the shadows. Over his armor he wore green tunic with a brown belt and a holster. He wore a green cape with a hood secured by a large gold chain; but the most chilling part of all was his face it was completely obscured by a metal mask.

"I am Dr. Doom and who might you be my little intruder?" he asked me as he stared at my face.

"I am She-Ra, defender of Grayskull and liberator of Etheria and I have come to put an end to you evil plot," I told him.

"Evil, Doom is not evil I have come to bring peace to this world and you're going to help me," he told me.

"How?" I asked him as I became nervous as to what he had in store.

He held out his hand and proclaimed "You have great power She-Ra, join me together we can put that power to use and rule Etheria I as King and you as my enforcer we will bring peace to this world forever."

"Never! I will never use my powers for evil!" I told him, the Power of Grayskull would never be used to bring harm to Etheria.

Doom walked away and went to a control station, "If you will not serve me willingly then you will served me as a slave!" he said. "This is my Transmutagenic Remogfrifier, isn't it lovely? I stole it from Apocalypse and altered it to affect non-mutants, and now I will see it work on human with super powers," he said as he threw the switch.

A huge device lowered from the ceiling, I knew that this was the end. I could not escape the manacles on the platforms are indestructible, as the machine descended I closed my eyes and that was it.

THE JOURNAL OF VICTOR VON DOOM, PhD

JANURAY 25, 1997 AD

My Doombots had captured an intruder, a young woman with great powers named She-Ra, I tried to convince to join me in my rule over Beta Latveria, but she refused, so I had decided to use my Remogfrifier on her.

I was worried that it might scramble her atoms and then her power would be lost, but luckily she seems to have survived the experiment.

I walked over to her, she just came to, I decided to test her loyalty.

"Whom do you serve, She-Ra?" I asked her hoping to find out if she needed another dose of the Remogfrifier.

"I serve Doctor Victor Von Doom of Latveria," she said coldly, I had done it my machine works.

"Tell me She-Ra, what is your name, your REAL name and where do your powers come from?" I asked, I knew that she had to have another name, and I had to know what it was.

"My name is Princess Adora and my powers come from Castle Grayskull on Eternia," she replied, once Etheria is mine I must go to this Eternia and claim this Grayskull as my own.

I now needed a fast way to gain control of this planet, brainwashing them would take too long, I needed a better way to gain control.

"Tell me Adora, who is the ruler of Etheria," I asked her, I know Horde Prime was not this world's true master, his grip on the planet was too tight only insecure rulers rule that way so I knew Etherians obey another ruler.

"Queen Angella II of Brightmoon is the queen of Etheria," she told me, this was perfect a union between her and myself would legitimatize my rule and bring my dream of Beta Latveria a realty.

I released She-Ra, "Come my friend we have a dinner to plan," I told her as we left the lab and prepared to meet the queen.

PRINCESS GLIMMER'S DIARY

12th DAY IN THE FOURTH YEAR IN THE HORDE'S OCCUPATION OF ETHERIA

I was getting worried about Adora, she had gone to investigate a disturbance in the Fright Zone and she hasn't come back.

"Don't worry, Glimmer! Adora can take care of herself," Bow tried to tell me, but I knew something bad had happened.

While I was worrying, a message came for mother, I didn't play it but I knew it couldn't be good.

I went to the throne room to show it to mother.

"What is it Glimmer?" she asked me as I approached the throne room.

"A message came for you," I told her as handed her the disk.

She went over to the view screen and played the message:

Greetings Angella II of Bright Moon

I am Doctor Victor Von Doom of Latveria

I bring goodwill and peace and to show my good nature I invite you to royal dinner at the Doom Zone, formally called 'the Fright Zone' come alone

Sincerely,

Victor von Doom, PhD

"You're seriously not thinking about going are you, mother?" I asked her, I knew that it had to be a trap.

"I have no choice, if this Doom has Adora I have to got here to rescue her and if not I will put an end to his evil," She said.

I pray whatever Doom has in store; mother will be able to stop it.
