Part 6
Entering the lands that Skeletor calls his own, He-Man rides into the darkness on top of his faithful partner, Battle Cat. Staring off into the distance, he can see the faint shape of Snake Mountain.
"That's where she is, Cat," says He-Man.
"Think she'll be ok?" roars Battle Cat.
"I hope so," replies He-Man.
...
Staring into the viewing crystal, Skeletor and Evil-Lyn watch as their enemy approaches.
"What do you intend to do once He-Man arrives?" asks Evil-Lyn, taking her eyes from the viewing crystal to stare at her leader.
"Oh, I'll let him walk right in and take her out," says Skeletor with a laugh. "I would love to see the look on his face when he finds her."
"Oh?" she drawls, with a raised brow.
"Oh yes," replies Skeletor, rubbing his hands together. "So far, I haven't done everything I've set out to do, but I will finish before he gets here."
"Really?"
Lifting his gaze from the viewing crystal, Skeletor stares at the woman sitting next to him.
"Do you doubt me, witch?" challenges Skeletor.
"Of course not," replies Evil-Lyn, turning her gaze back to the viewing screen.
...
The freezing spell having finally wore off, Teela closes her legs and sits up on the hard bed. Wrapping her own arms around her body, she rubs her arms, trying to calm herself down from what has just happened.
I have to get out of here, she thinks.
Putting her back against the wall, Teela stares at the door that leads out of her prison. Slipping off the bed, Teela walks over to the door and runs her hands just barely above the surface of the door. Feeling the blue energy pulse from the door, Teela pulls her hand back and steps away from the door.
Ok, old girl! There has to be a way out. I can't let him win.
Slipping her right hand to her body suit, she lifts the tassel to find that her flash beads are still on her.
Well, they didn't totally disarm me. But how to use them?
She thinks back to when she first awakened. Realizing that the only person she's seen is Skeletor, she decides to use the beads on him the next time he shows.
He always leaves the cell door open. If I can just get by him and lock him in his own cell, I might have a chance to get out of here. I hope!
