CHAPTER 22.
::: I'm with them. ::: Susan heard Leandra's voice in her head. Stronger than before. Probably already away from the cell against magic.
The captain stood and looked back at the tree everyone was watching. She knew part of the plan, but not the whole plan. Was this part of it?
The answer came sooner than she had expected, for as she turned to the opposite window, she saw a rapidly approaching ship with something pointed at them. Before she opened her mouth, the gun went off and everyone, including her, fell asleep.

Of course, the sudden stop of movement within the surrounding transports left everyone even more alert within the main transporter.
"What happened?" James asked.
'' A ship sir! Approaching. '' A soldier shouted back.
Adora turned away from the window.
'It seems to open fire on us, sir!' Another shouted. '' And we have no answers from the rest of the escort either! ''
'' What is the best option? '' Adora shouted. Praying for the soldier to answer that they needed to get out of the vehicle.
And for her luck.
'' We have to leave here, but can not alone take the vehicle off the ground. Not fixed like this. ''
"Are you telling us to go out in the middle of a storm with a baby a few months old?" James asked.
'' Unfortunately yes, Your Majesty. ''
Adora are putting her daughter in the mobile seat that was on their side in the seat of the vehicle. After releasing the little seat from the seat, she put a waterproof cover around the girl. It was the best she could do, but they needed to get away from there. After they left she would cast a little spell so the girl wouldn't get wet.
'' This won't do any good! 'James shouted, interrupting Adora's movements. Outside they saw a glare. One of two things, either thunder crashed, or the ship fired at them.
'Do you have a better idea?'
''Staying here!'
''We can't! They would never expect us to get out of here! And I'd rather face them than risk being close when that falls! '' She pointed at the tree.
James looked at the swinging tree again and grunted.
'' Well, Keldor. '' He turned to man-at-arms, who was the entire conversation quiet. '' Go with the queen. Protect her! Let's split up. They have only one ship and will have to choose who to follow. I'll go out with some guards first! "He got up and went to Adora. '' Do not deviate too much. ''
She raised an eyebrow but nodded.
He first left with some guards and the ship immediately followed them. Moments later, Adora and Keldor left, Adora holding Alexandra's car seat firmly in her hands. Both headed for the forest.
"We need to find somewhere for you and your highness." Keldor put his hand on Adora's back. Because of the winds, neither of them moved away, or walked too fast or too slow, especially with Adora wearing high heels, and heels and mud definitely didn't match.
''I know. Follow me. "She walked a little faster, the rain still heavy, and she was doing her best to keep her daughter dry with her powers.
'' Follow where? ''
'' Beyond! '' She pointed to a small clearing.
"Majesty, I don't know if it's the best ..." He stopped talking as soon as he saw a hidden ship and looked back at Adora.
"I'll explain later." She replied and they walked as fast as they could to the ship.
As soon as they got close to the ship's door, Adora pushed a hidden button and the door opened. They both entered and Adora closed the door.
''Where how? Where did that come from? '' Keldor looked around as Adora placed Alexandra's seat in the seat next to the pilot's seat. With a wave of his hand, the three were completely dry.
"Etheria." She sat in the driver's seat and he sat next to each other, both putting on the feel.
''But how?''
The princess sighed. '' Again, after I explain. '' With another hand gesture, he fell asleep and she called the ship.
Adora looked at her daughter, who was looking at her with an analytical look.
'' Do not look at me like that, it is easier to sleep than to remember who he is now. The last thing we need is another villain unleashing right now. ''
The girl blinked and Adora smiled as the ship took off. '' I knew you'd understand. ''

He-man and Leandra began leading the group as they approached the throne room corridors.
What if Shadow Weaver appears? Gray asked. The storm was still high outside so they could speak normally.
'' Actually finding her is already part of the plan, '' Leandra replied.
''What? Why?''
"Because she." Marlena pointed at Leandra. '' It's going to get her powers back. ''
'' I thought you already controlled his powers. '' Hawk said.
'' Control, but they are not me. To make the magic work completely, they need to come back to me. "The queen mother answered.
''I understand.''
They stopped in front of the living room door and Leandra spoke to the group. '' At my signal, you come. Not a minute before. '' And then he just spoke to He-man. '' And try to hold your father in place. I know Randor and I know he doesn't stand still. ''
The hero nodded, knowing the queen was right.
Leandra went in, but was interrupted by her son.
''Mother.''
She turned around and for the first time in years, Randor was speechless. He didn't want his mother to risk or endanger herself, but they needed to get back to normal reality. "I, ah ... just wanted to wish you good luck." Marlena took her husband's hand.
'' Thank you. '' Leandra smiled and entered the throne room.
The queen mother entered the throne room and it was not long before Shadow Weaver noticed her.
''What? How ?!''
'You can't imagine,' Leandra answered and then dodged a bolt of magic.
