CHAPTER 23
A / N: Thesorceressqueen: Remember the ship Marlena piloted to go from Etheria to Eternia? So it's the same ship. Adora and James were close to where Marlena landed and Adora knows it, so she knew where to find it.

The real duel between witches began with nothing less than much of Leandra's power being thrown at her by Shadow Weaver.
After dodging several times, Leandra began to retaliate. Taking control of the powers the witch was throwing toward her and making them return. But it wasn't all the power that Leandra fought back. Much of the magic, she absorbed and claimed every attack.
'' I thought you had no power! ''
"Yeah, a lot of people who met me thought that." Leandra retaliated.

"She may be in need of help," Randor exclaimed, only to be stopped by his son.
'' She hasn't given the signal yet, and even after she gives, only I will come in. ''
''But.''
'' Dad, please. It's easier if you trust me. ''
A white flash came into the throne room and everyone knew it had nothing to do with the storm outside.
'' I couldn't do anything last time ... ''
'' And nothing will happen this time. '' Marlena interrupted her husband.
''How are you so sure?''
'Cause she's not alone now.' '

After another ray comes your way. One she almost didn't divert, Leandra sent to her grandson.

"I'm going." He-man entered the throne room, further surprising the witch.
''You! You were supposed to not exist! ''
"Yeah, even magic has its unforeseen things." The hero replied, as he spoke, he walked a few feet behind his grandmother.
Enraged, Shadow Weaver raised his hands and a glare, this time strong black and white, appeared in his hands and seemed to grow larger and larger before being thrown with all the witch's strength toward them. He-man raised his sword, summoning Grayskull's powers and the thunderstorms protected him from the magic blow.
Leandra used the magic of the sword, using it as a channeler to see which spells were sorcerers, which were hers, and which were the witch's. Having her answer, she waved at her grandson and He-man aimed his sword at the witch, casting her own power.
As Shadow Weaver retreated, He-man threw the sword at Leandra. The queen took the sword and used it as a plumber of magic. As Shadow Weaver's lightning bolt touched the blade, Leandra absorbed the power that once belonged to her and withdrew all of the Witch's powers, both those of the wizards and those that were really hers.
''No!''
The rest of the group came in after the shout. Entering battle formation, forming a U around the three.
Leandra steadied herself as she absorbed her powers and watched the sword return the remaining powers to their respective owners.
After the last glare, the witch was on her knees, weakened, and Leandra was standing breathing heavily as the glow around her body dimmed.
"It's not over," Shadow Weaver whispered and the queen mother approached her.
"You're right, but that will change soon." She punched the witch in the face, which made her pass out. '' For a long time I wanted to do it. ''
'' And now? '' Hawk said.
'' Now let's go back to Etheria. '' Adora appeared on another throne room door, Alexandra in her arms.
Everyone greeted the princess, even her grandmother knew who she was and greeted her with a hug.
'' Why? '' Someone asked.
"For us to recover and gather the powers we need to get Eternia back to normal," Leandra replied.
"But what about Caspian?" Lyna asked.
'' He doesn't have my powers in his palm anymore. You will not be able to follow us. Shadow Weaver is completely powerless, and the castle will not allow the powers to be used until we are here. '' Leandra evaluated the now unconscious witch.
'' So we abandon Eternia? '' He asked Marlena.
'' Temporarily yes. Adora, you brought ... 'Teelana answered this time.
'' Of course. '' With a wave of her hand, Keldor appeared unconscious in the middle of the throne room.
'' Great, we'll need him for that. '' The old sorceress looked at the group. '' The portals to Etheria will be closed until we get back from there. That way he won't follow us. ''
'But how are we going to open one now?' Gray answered.
'' With the help of Light Hope. '' She replied.
