Like I said before, I only own John and Cidney, please enjoy
Johnny drove threw the maze of trees and shrubbery, under Angela's directions, to the rebel camp of Whispering Woods. The two of then tip toed over to the camp and peered into it from the cover of some high shrubs.
"You're a fool Glimmer." A man said from the edge of the camp.
"You're a fool if you think you can stop me Bow." The woman called Glimmer replied. Angela wanted to jump out of the shrubs right there, but Johnny stopped her, a sinister grin on his face.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Another voice asked.
"Adam your back." Glimmer said happily.
"And you've captured Force Captain Adora, good work Adam, with her as out prisoner, we can make a deal with Hordak." Bow said.
"Sorry to disappoint you but..." Adam was interrupted by Cringer charging Adam and licking his face.
"Cut it out Cringer." Adam pleaded with a chuckle.
"I take it this is a friend of yours, Brother." Adora said with a smile.
"BROTHER!" Cringer and Glimmer said together.
"That's right. Adora's my sister, she was only working under The Hord because of one of Shadow Weaver's evil spells." Adam explained.
"But I've broken it, and from now on, I'm apart of the rebellion, if you'll have me." Adora said sadly. Without hesitating, Madam Razz, a woman with a strange pointed red hat with a small windmill at the tip, walked over and took Adora's hand.
"Welcome to the right side Derry, you could be of great help to us." Adora smiled.
"I'll do anything I can."
"Hohho, perhaps you can start by telling Glimmer how foolish it would be to try to rescue Queen Angela from Talon Mountain." A creature that resembled the crossing of between an owl and a Kuala.
"Who's Queen Angela?" Adam asked.
"Glimmer's mother, she was the ruler of Bright Moon, the last kingdom to fall to The Hord. She disappeared during the battle." Bow answered.
"But one of our spies have just learned that she is a slave to Halga, the queen of the harpies of Talon Mountain."
"She's my mother. I can't just leave her a slave to that monster Halga." Glimmer added.
"Hey, keep my mother out of this." Johnny said as he alone, stepped out from the bushes.
"Who are you?" Bow asked as he aimed his bow and arrow.
"He's Johnny, our friend." Adam said.
"Yeah, um about that going to Talon Mountain thing. I wouldn't recommend it." Johnny said as he scratched the back of his head.
"And why is that?" Glimmer asked, a little anger in her voice.
"Well, um, she isn't there any more." Johnny said as he lifted the shrubbery, revealing the winged queen to her daughter for the first time in years. Tears fell from several people, including onlookers. Johnny took this moment to slip over to Bow.
"Have you seen Cidney?" Johnny asked.
"Over there." Bow said as he pointed to the woman who sat next to the fire, it was Cidney all right. She still had the spider-man T-shirt and jeans from before, but she now wore a metallic gold belt, a pair of golden bracelets, long knee high boots and a long red cape that ended at her waist. Johnny could feel something stir inside him and literally hoped it didn't show as he walked over to her and sat down on the old log next to her in front of the nearby fire.
"So, what happened to you?" Johnny asked.
"I've had a change of heart. You were right, this is a world we always wanted to be in, why not enjoy it." Cidney said as she slid a little closer to Johnny. Johnny sighed as he starred into the fire. "What's wrong?"
"I took the full jolt of Hordak's Magnabeam Energizer. I nearly died." Cidney gave a fearful look.
"Are you okay?" She asked, feeling Johnny's forehead, looking for a fever.
"Hold on there She-hulk, I'm fine. You're the one who just had a mood swing. Look next time I see Zodack, I'm having him send you home."
"What about you?"
"Someone recently reminded me that with great power comes great responsibility. I was given this power to know what's happening in the near future, and if I don't act responsibly, I could be responsible for more deaths." Cidney shook her head.
"I won't let you go alone." Cidney said as she griped Johnny's shoulders, almost in panic. Johnny pushed her arm away.
"I had no right dragging you into this, the comic was mailed to me, Adam ran into me, hell Zodack appeared in my apartment, not yours. I don't want you to go threw what happened to me." Cidney was going to say something, but stopped when she saw something in Johnny's eyes. His childishness was gone now, like it had been replaced with something...stronger, more fierce and in her own opinion, intoxicating. "Look Cid, I.. thing is." Johnny sighed, "K, it's like this. I care about you and well, you were the first real person I ever cared about. Other than cartoons, you were the only person who treated me like a person and I don't want to see you get hurt." Cidney was right there was something in his eye, but there was another item within his soul that poured threw his eyes, heroism. He had become a born leader, but there was a glimmer of doubt there to, like he didn't know how far to trust himself. Johnny was starring back into the fire now, his hands closed in on each other. Cidney reached over and took his hands in her own. Johnny looked up and saw the gentle smile on her lips.
"Look you geek, you saved a half dead queen, you brought a long lost brother and sister together, and your responsible for that little tear jurker over there." Cidney said as she gestured over to the mother and daughter hugging in the center of the camp. "You never knew it but your a natural, a natural leader." Johnny smiled in disbelieve. "Don't laugh & I'm serious, and I would give anything, anything, to be there beside you." She said as she leaned in a little closer. Johnny didn't notice it at first but he was leaning in as well, then suddenly and without warning, they touched lips, and fireworks exploded in his head. Heat rose thoughout his body and he wrapped one arm around her. At first he was nervous but when she tackled him in the heat of pleasure, his fear subsided, and they found themselves locked in passion as they quickly stood up and raced off towards the nearest unoccupied tent.
---------------------------
An hour and thirty five minutes had past and Johnny finally emerged from the old tent, relieved to see that no one had realized what or where he and Cidney had gone off to. His shirt was now torn in three places and his hair was in a bigger mess than before but for the most part Johnny was able to avoid most starring eyes as he walked over to Adora and Glimmer. When Glimmer saw Johnny she hugged him happily and kissed his forehead.
"Thank you so much for finding my mother, I've never been more happy." Johnny smiled wearily as he scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah, just don't let it happen again." Johnny joked as he looked around the camp. While looking for Adam he noticed Cidney slowly imerge from the tent, her hair was half draped around her head and her shirt wasn't tucked in as it was before, but she was hiding her past actions better than he was. "Um, do you guys have a shirt I could borrow?" Johnny asked, hoping the question wouldn't come up.
"My goodness, what happened to your shirt?" Adora asked. "DAMN" Johnny thought.
"I, um, I was attacked in the woods while taking a walk by an... an um...a Manticore." Johnny said, hoping such creatures were on Etheria.
"Oh no, I'll send Bow out to get it away from the camp, till then we have some clothes in the tent on the other end of the camp." Glimmer said as she pointed to the empty tent he had just left.
"Thanks." Johnny said as he walked over to the tent and slipped inside. Johnny opened the chest he remembered bumping into before, and groaned as he saw the old shirts that lay within it. The only thing that resembled a T-shirt was an old poncho at the bottom of the chest. Johnny sighed as he slipped it on over his torn red T-shirt.
"Where have you been?" Adam asked as he walked into the tent.
"Oh, here, thinking about things." Johnny said as he remembered what he was really doing and felt he would never feel better.
"Well, I thought you and Cidney should know, Adora and I are going back to Eternia." Johnny groaned, knowing this would happen.
"Then I guess this is goodbye." Johnny said as he held out his hand.
"Oh, you're not coming with us?" Adam asked.
"Well, yes, if you'll have us." Johnny said as he retracted his hand. Adam smiled and took his hand and shook it.
"Johnny, I've known you for about three days at the most and already I know you are without a doubt one of the greatest friends I've ever had, you have a good head and a wide heart, and you care only for others, never for yourself." Johnny nearly blushed.
"And you are by far my best friend, except maybe for Cidney." Adam leaned in a little closer.
"The two of you are more than just friends, aren't you?" Adam asked. Johnny smiled.
"I'd like to think so, but if I was more sure of myself a little more, maybe then I'd have the qualities she would like, let's talk about something else," Johnny said as he led Adam out of the tent, "So what do you think your Dad will say when he hears that you had found and returned your Sister to the royal family?" Johnny asked as they walked over to the car.
"I don't know, but I'm looking forward to finding out."
--------------------------
The small Volkswagen was quite cramped with four people in it, and with the unpaved field they rode in, and the horse and panther on either side keeping up (Because Johnny was driving at fifteen miles an hour), the ride seemed to stretch on forever.
"So, Mother and Father don't know you're He-man?" Adora asked as she and Cidney sat in the back seat.
"No, and they can't know that your She-ra either." Adam replied. Adora just smiled.
"All right Adam, if you say so, how long until we reach the gate?"
"Just over that ridge." Johnny replied. "Thats when we contact the sorceress and...and" Johnny said as he noticed something out in the distance. It looked like a man, but from the distance and the man's high could have easily proved to be something else. What ever or whoever it was, he was huge, walking slowly, as if it had all the time in the world. When they drove a few feet closer, Johnny could get a closer look at it, it was a male, and the last one he expected to find on Etheria. "Everyone out, NOW!" Johnny ordered. One by one, Johnny's friends slowly piled out of the car, all half bewildered. They never expected Johnny to speed off towards the object.
"What is he doing?" Adam asked. Cidney shrugged.
Johnny stopped the car some twenty yards away from the colossal man, put it in park and stepped out, blaster drawn.
"It's about time I found you." The man said with a smile as his booming voice echoed over the field. the man was dressed in a red/tan armor, and his eyes seemed to paint a picture of his insanity.
"What are you doing on Etheria, Juggernaut?" Johnny asked.
"Even the bullies need to earn a living, you have no idea what I've been promised if I take you down. I just thought I'd give you a chance, this one chance, to let your end be swift." Juggernaut said with a smile. Johnny struggled to think of a way to take out Juggernaut, or at least slow him down enough to pick everyone up and get to Eternia. There was no guarantee that he couldn't follow him, if he had gotten here from wherever he had come from. Suddenly something popped into his head, it was a long shot and was most likely going to kill him, but he had to get past Juggernaut to end this journey.
"Okay, I surrender." Johnny said to Juggernaut's shock. He waited for Johnny to pull some kind of stunt as Johnny walked right up to him and fell to his knees three feet in front of him. Juggernaut walked over and was about to send his two fists down on him when Johnny quickly pointed his blaster and vaporized the ground underneath Juggernaut. The beam cut just far enough to send Juggernaut falling into the Etherian underground. Johnny stayed at his knees and waited to hear him fall. After a few seconds Johnny heard the rumbling thud.
"Oh, you have no idea how pissed you've made me!" Juggernaut screamed from underground.
"Oh, shut up." Johnny said as he fired the blaster deeper into the hole, sending Juggernaut deeper into the dark ground of Etheria. Johnny could never kill anyone, but he remembered his comic book history, Juggernaut was next to invincible, no puny blaster or falling rocks would even scratch the tank of a man. Which made it so easy for Johnny to fire upon him. If he activated the flight controls in the car, picked up his friends and floored it, he could make it before Juggy would make it back up. If Cringer and spirit galloped at about thirty miles an hour, (which they probably could), everything would work out.
-------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in the abandoned house of Shakoti, the man who hid in the shadows crushed the goblet he was drinking out of as he watched the image of Juggernaut's defeat that hovered over the concert pool.
"Marko has failed." The man said as he flung the useless goblet away. "It maters little, there are others who will pick up where he left off, but first I must tap into the cosmic waves of the multiverse and find his next destination." The man said as he waved his golden gloved hand and watched as the image changed into the image of a strange world, the men and women within the image strutted proudly, as if they had no reason to feel...anything, and all had pointed ears."
---------------------------
The Eternian Palace, in all his life, few sites had moved Johnny such as that of the glimmering dome in the distance and the several small cites that surrounded the palace.
"Wow." Cidney said as she looked over Johnny from within the flying Volkswagen. "I've never seen such a massive place."
"Really, huh. To me it's just home." Adam replied as they flew towards the shimmering golden structure up ahead.
----------------------------------
Johnny paced back and forth as he waited behind the main door as Adam introduced their daughter to the king and queen. Johnny could understand the need for personal time, but he couldn't help wanting to be part of the story, it that was all it was. Cidney, meanwhile, was leaning against the main door, her ear clasped like a suction cup to the door listening in on the conversation. There was a talk of a surprise, then a long stream of tears among the conversation.
"What's taking so long?" Johnny asked as he leaned against the other wall.
"The King and Queen are meeting their daughter for the first time since she was an infant. How would you feel in the same boat?" Cidney snapped back.
"Yeah, you're right, of course, as usual. But still, it's like being in heaven and being forced to wait at the door. Maybe if we..." Johnny was about to say more but tripped over a red blur that past threw the room and plowed right into Johnny, sending him to the ground. Johnny shook his head as he rose to his feet, Johnny nearly toppled over again when he saw what, who had plowed into him.
"Gosh, I'm sorry, I was just so happy to get back to Eternia and..."
"Orko?" Johnny interrupted.
"Do I know you?" The creature that Johnny now spoke with seemed to float on the air, his face was hidden from view by a long red pointy brim hat, and a purple scarf that hid all but his eyes. Under the hood was a robe with the letter "O" in the center, and a pair of blue hands poked out of the thin red sleeves, and the pointed ears seemed to wiggle as the protruded from out of the sides of the hat.
"No, no I, we've just heard so much about you, from Adam." Johnny said as he shook Orko's hand.
"Hi, good to meet you, so what's going on?" Orko asked as the doors opened behind Johnny.
"Mother, Father, I'd like you to meet the two people responsible for finding Adora and helping me free her." Johnny turned and scratched the back of his head.
"Um, Hi." Cidney said as they both smiled nervously.
---------------------------------
Johnny tossed and turned as he struggled to sleep. His dreams seemed to tear away at every fiber of his being, and just when he thought he couldn't take any more, he sat up and the light blinded him for a moment.
"Johnny, are you okay?" Teela asked as she peeked threw the door from the palace hallway. Johnny looked around, he sat in a massive bed, inside one of the many guest rooms. Johnny wiped the sweat from his forehead as he sat up, making sure that he still had his jeans on before removing the damp covers.
"Yeah I'm fine, come on in." Johnny said as he slipped on a T-shirt he had brought into the palace from his Volkswagen.
"Adora, she was kidnapped by Skelator and Hordak." Johnny looked up in horror, then calmed himself.
"When did this happen?" He asked.
"About three hours ago."
"Did He-man go after her yet?"
"Why yes, that's why I forgot to find you, Cidney and my father went with him." Johnny smiled.
"I wouldn't worry, He-man will have everything taken care of, but even so, we'd better check it out." Johnny said as he slipped on his overcoat that stretched down to his ankles, strapped on his blaster and raced after Teela as she lead him towards the royal throne room.
---------------------------------------
When Teela and Johnny reached the throne room, they found Adora hugging her Mother and Father as if she had met them for the first time, (Pun intended)"
"Go back to Etheria, you can't be serious, Adora." the King said as he broke off the embrace.
"Please try to understand, Etheria is my world, I can't let it fall into the hands of The Hord, if it were your planet, would you leave the fight before it was over?" Adora said, desperately trying to make her Father comprehend the strife that ripped at her heart.
"I wish you could stay, but I understand." Johnny casually slipped from Teela and tip toed over to Cidney.
"It go okay?" Johnny asked. Cidney simply knotted. "What's wrong?" Johnny asked.
"I have a terrible thought, I think we should talk to The Sorceress."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"What troubles you my dear?" The Sorceress asked as Cidney, Adam, Adora, Johnny, Cringer and Spirit all walked into the old caverns, deep within castle Greyskull.
"Can we go home? I mean, I love this reality, but I have a life back at earth." Johnny's heart broke at the hearing of Cindy's words, but still he had no right to force her to stay because he wanted to. The Sorceress however, seemed much more hurt.
"I'm afraid it is much worse that my dear. Not only can you not go home, but you must leave this world. The both of you will be forced to leave this world for others, one after the other, each world your are sent to will be for a specific purpose, I am sorry.
"You will feel the universal shift deep within each time you leave one world." Johnny groaned.
"Well, at least we're together." Cidney said as she looked up to Johnny. Johnny saw a small smile form, which warmed his heart.
"I'm sorry to say that is also impossible." Johnny looked to The Sorceress, who was forced to give a stern look. "You are both going to separate worlds." Johnny looked over to Cidney, who's face now was hidden within her long red hair.
"Look Cid, I."
"No!" Cidney said as she wiped the hair, and tears, from her face. "I don't care what any one says, we will be together again, I swear." Suddenly Johnny felt his stomach groan deep, making a sound he had never heard before. Johnny looked up and found Cidney looking down at her own stomach.
"You feel it to?" Johnny asked. Cidney nodded.
"Cid, listen we don't have any time left, I have to tell you before it's to late, before I lose my nerve, I..., I love you." Tears finally streamed down Cidney's face.
"I...I..." Cidney stopped trying to form words and kissed Johnny, hard and passionately. and then, they both disappeared, lips still keeping them together, at least for the moment, and then they were gone, as if they were never there. Adora began to tear up as she leaned on her brothers chest. Adam held his sister and looked over to The Sorceress.
"Will they be all right, Sorceress?" He asked.
"I honestly don't know, Adam, I honestly don't know."
-----------------------------------
Skelator peered down at the events that took place at castle Greyskull, and gave a chuckle.
"So, this boy Johnny intends to give me and the rest of the evil universe problems, well my plan is finally beginning to pay off, 18 years, and it finally begins to pay off. Well I would give almost anything to know what dangers lie ahead for this traveler, and if these new task's don't end his unending hope, then my very old plan will." The demon said in his moldy thrown as he began to cackle.
----------------------------------------
Johnny shook his head as he stood up and looked around at his new surroundings.
"That was some kiss." Johnny said as he wiped the tears from his own face and turned to find the Volkswagen at his side. Johnny looked inside to find the flight control still in tact. Johnny slipped inside and slowly drove down the side walk like trail. As he looked from all sides he saw massive statues that towered like skyscrapers, and people walked around in all directions wearing odd robes, and most had pointed ears. Johnny pulled over and stopped in front of one of the passers by.
"Excuse me?" Johnny yelled from his car, stopping two men walking. "I'm afraid I'm a little lost, could you tell me, and I know this is an odd question, but can you tell me where and...when I am?"
"Certainly, " The one man said, no emotion shown from his odd features, "You are on the planet Vulcan, and it is the stardate 8364596.45." Johnny groaned.
"Okay, what century would that be, in ancient earth terms."
"It is the twenty fourth century." Johnny, shocked, looked up threw the windshield, at one of the massive statues, it two held a set of pointed ears.
"Oh Poopie."
------------------------------------------------
How is johnny on the planet Vulcan?
Why here and why now?
And what other troubles lie ahead?
THAT IS SIMPLY ANOTHER UNIVERSAL COLLISION
