Chapter XI: End of Days
LORD HORDAK'S JOURNAL
18th DAY IN THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR OF MY CONQUEST OF ETHERIA
I had finally been able to lose that accursed She-Ra giving me time to free Horde Prime.
While She-Ra was recovering, I ran up the steps to the main control center. I would occasionally look back behind to see if She-Ra was following, but as far I could tell she wasn't.
Finally after climbing three flights of stairs I reached the main control room, I opened the door and entered the room.
Inside was large a computer, I sat down at the computer and activated it, the screen came on and set the coordinates for Horde World of the Omega Quadrant, soon the universe will be mine.
Just as I was about to activate the portal, She-Ra barged into the room, "Your tyranny ends here," she said as she as she walked up to the console.
"On the contrary, it is your meddling that ends here!" I said as I pulled the switch that opened the portal to Horde World, now begins the end of She-Ra!
PRINCE ADAM'S JOURNAL
18th DAY IN THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR OF SKELETOR'S ATTEMPT TO ENTER CASTLE GRAYSKULL
I watched as Skeletor entered the Chamber of Secrets, a blinding light hid him from view. When he came out of the chamber he was different.
His red chest plate had become sliver and his body was now colored gold instead of blue, his silver mask was gone and his skull was healed and on his head he wore a golden headdress, the powers of Grayskull had transformed him.
"Now He-Man you will die!" he said as he blasted me with his Skull Staff sending me to my knees.
"Never Skeletor, if I die you go too," I said as got to my feet, I still had my power since as long as the power I use was inside me Skeletor could never get it.
Skeletor continued to blast me with repeated attacks from his Skull Staff, I knew I had to stop him, so gathering all my strength I walked towards my sword despite Skeletor's blasts.
"NO!" he screamed as he screamed as he continued to blast me, but he could not stop me.
Finally I made it to the skull on the vault's door, removed the sword, and swung it at Skeletor, "this conflict is over Skeletor!" I told him as I blocked his attacks.
"Yes, for years we have fought this infernal battle with neither of us winning, but now that I am no longer equal to you I will finally be rid of you," he said as let loose a barrage of energy blasts. "I am one with the cosmos, and you Adam will die!" he said as his eyes lit up with glee.
Something inside of me snapped at the sound of my name, maybe it was the fact that he said it with such contempt, maybe it was the fact that I lost Teela and my son and even though I knew he was not responsible my anger convinced me he was; whatever it was I began to unleash a barrage of attacks on Skeletor, until I was able to destroy his staff.
"NO MY POWERS! MY BEAUTIFUL POWERS!" he shouted as he lost his powers reverting back to his normal form.
"It ends here Skeletor," I told him as I pointed my sword at him.
"Yes, it does end here," he said, I did not know what he meant but I was going to find out.
PRINCESS ADORA'S DIARY
18th DAY IN THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR OF THE HORDE'S CONQUEST OF ETHERIA
I looked up in horror; a massive portal opened up above our heads and out from it emerged Horde Prime!
He was huge, at least nine feet tall and yet he could fit within the tower. He wore black chain male armor with a chain harness over top it, the chain met at his chest and was held in place by a Bloodbat. His face was hidden behind a red Bloodbat mask. His left hand was covered by a metal glove; and he wore batwing cape.
"Now She-Ra you will pay," Hordak said as he raised his arms in the air, suddenly Horde Prime became almost ghost like and begin to condense into ball of energy that was absorbed by Hordak.
Hordak begin to change, he grew to three times his normal size; he became more bat-like and his cape became a pair of wings. His eyes glowed with evil power, he was truly frightening!
"Hordak is no more now I am Primak," he roared in a demonic screech, he then looked down at me, "you have been a thorn in my side for far too long!" he sneered at me as his eyes glowed with a fierce light.
I was about say something when I began to feel strange, I looked down and noticed that I was levitating.
"You have interfered with my plans for the last time!" he yelled as he threw me across the room. He was powerful, so powerful that he didn't even need to touch me to harm me; he only needs to will my destruction!
I tried to get my feet but Primak threw me across the room again, he then begin throw the computer equipment at me, I hardly had time react. Finally I managed to get to my feet but as I stood up I noticed my sword was gone.
I looked around the room and saw it lying by Primak's feet, "lose something woman!" he spat as he brought the sword to his hands. "Now let's see you fight as Adora," he said and with those words my sword exploded into a million pieces.
"NO!" I cried out, suddenly I began to feel woozy, I felt as if my life-force was being taken from my body. I looked at my reflection in the floor of the Tower and realized that power of Grayskull had left my body.
As I laid there on the ground I began to feel as if my windpipe was being crushed, I grasped at my throat hoping to loosen whatever was crushing it. I looked up and saw Primak standing in front of me, "Death is like fine wine Adora it is sour at first but then it becomes oh so sweet," he whispered as he tightened his grip on me.
I couldn't breathe and I was powerless to fight, I had faced Hordak as Adora before but now that he is virtually a god I am no match for him, not even She-Ra could defeat him. As I could feel my life slip away I prayed, "Light Hope, preserve me!" after that everything went black.
LORD HORDAK'S JOURNAL
18th DAY IN THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR OF MY CONQUEST OF ETHERIA
I have finally done it; I have finally destroyed She-Ra.
Using the combined powers of Horde Prime and myself and I have destroyed Adora, she now lays on the ground powerless and dying.
As I watched her leave this world, suddenly a bright light fills the room and standing in the midst of this light was a figure of man.
When the light dimmed I could see that this man was very tall and thin. He had a piercing green eyes and snow white hair; he wore a white robe with a sliver rope as a belt. One would think that this being would have pale skin but he didn't his skin was a very healthy color and even had a tinge of gold in it.
He walked over to Adora's body and whispered something to her making her levitate and apparently put her in a trance.
He then walked over to me and said, "After all these eons you have finally returned, Prime!" the Horde Prime part of me knew that voice, it was the voice of Light Hope.
"You will be destroyed, just like Adora!" I said as drew my sword and attacked him.
"Never, you will be defeated as always!" he said as he drew his sword and countered my attack, this continued for hours every time our swords clashed a bright light would fill the room.
After awhile I finally managed to knock his weapon from his hand, "NOW LIGHT HOPE YOU WILL DIE!" I yelled about to kill him.
He stood up, raised his hand and chanted, "By the power vested in me by the Gnostics of Infintia I exorcise you from this body," instantly Horde Prime was ripped from my soul, I was no longer Primak; I had reverted back to my old self.
"You'll pay for that!" I said as I charged after him, but he blocked my attacked and knocked my sword from my hand.
"Hordak called Ralabad I release from your servitude," he said as he raised his hand as a bright light filled the room.
I fell to the ground, I felt weak and drained like I had no energy in my body. I looked at my reflection in the floor and saw a face I hadn't seen since the Magi ruled Etheria.
The face was that of a human being, he was partially bald and what hair he had was white, he had pale aquamarine eyes, and a thin nose. It was the face of Ralabad the Wise, my former self.
I looked to my master, he was still battling Light Hope, but soon even he was defeated.
"Horde Prime, for you crimes against the cosmos, I shall destroy your mind making you no longer a threat and sentence you to be banished to a parallel universe fifty universes away from here," he declared as he opened a portal and sent him hurdling through it.
I wanted to say something but was too weak, just then everything went blurry and darkness overcame me. That which I have cheated for Millennia had finally caught up to me- death has finally claimed my soul.
CAPTAIN BOW'S LOGBOOK
18th DAY IN THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR OF THE HORDE'S CONQUEST OF ETHERIA
I was on my way to lead a battalion of Honor Guards to attack a Horde battalion today, when I saw the most awesome sight I ever saw, the Central Tower of the Tritheon began to glow and a beam of light shot out from the roof and a being of immense size was spewed out of tower like lava from a volcano, something told me that Adora was successful in her quest to defeat Hordak.
When my men saw that spectacle, they began cheer and shout for joy, knowing that the Horde's leaders were no more.
I ran back to tell Angella the good news, she had been wounded in battle and I thought the news of Horde Prime's defeat would make her feel better.
When I arrived at her tent, I noticed that her personal doctors were leaving; they had a sad expression their faces, at the sight my heart stopped. I raced into her tent and found her lying on her cot limp, she was dead.
My heart broke in two, Angella was a good friend, she had helped me many times and now she was dead, this war has taken all I loved from me, but if I am to save Eternia I must remain strong.
"Farewell Angella," I whispered as I paid my last respects and left the tent.
