CHAPTER 31

The three of them left in a mess, Teelana told them what she can before the sound of several conversations reach her ears. They entered the Grayskull throne room, which at the moment was crowded with rebels and some of the masters.

How long did they arrive? Lyn asked.

'' A half hour or so ago, 'Teelana replied as she made her way to her daughter.

'' You made it? '' Teela said.

The three nodded.

'' Great, because they will be here in half an hour. '' Adora shouted over the talks, which soon ceased to hear it. '' Rebels, take up positions, good battle everyone. '' The rebels left the castle, except for a few.

'' We have no time, we have to start now, I want all the wizards together here. I don't want to risk not having enough power. "Leandra exclaimed.

Adora, Teela, Castaspella, Angela, Lyn, Keldor, Madame Razz, Glimmer and Teelana formed a circle in the center of Grayskull's throne room. It all started there, so nothing fairer than ending there too.

Keldor and Lyn had handed the stone and necklace to Leandra, who fit both stones into the necklace and put it on. Taking a deep breath, they all held hands. '' Stay tuned for your magic, the return of reality as we know it will take longer than it took when it was changed. ''

Everyone nodded and watched Leandra's power appear, the white magic at her feet heading toward the center of the sorcerer's circle. Adora's golden magic followed, followed by Teela and Teelana blue, Lyn purple, Keldor black, Angela silver, Glimmer light purple, Castaspella yellow, and Madam's rose. When all the powers met, a sphere of magic formed.

'' Focus on our reality, and nothing more ... '' Leandra said one last time before everyone was silent.

He-man and Hawk watched as the wizards began.

"What if the fight migrates into the palace?" Hawk asked.

"So let's protect them." He-man answered and both men left the throne room. The rebels and the masters were already in formation. Miro leading them as everyone waited. The former king had not yet been informed about his wife, just as Leandra did not know that Miro was there. He-man and Duncan had talked, the king had better not know for now, Leandra needed to focus on power, and if Miro showed up she would surely lose her concentration.

'' We are ready He-man. '' Fisto appeared at his side.

The hero only nodded as he and his brother-in-law assumed their own battle positions. He-man took the front line, while Hawk stayed with the back groups near the palace entrance. The idea of staying there wasn't his, but considering who he left safely in Etheria and who was inside the castle behind him, he didn't complain about the position.

'' I think it's the first time you get back here. '' Bow prepared an arrow.

''I say the same to you.''

'' Our wifes are in there. If they want to come in, they'll have to go through us first to pick them up. ' Bow said determined.

The former pirate nodded.

"Nervous, boy?" Duncan asked.

'Would you believe me if I told you no?'

''No.''

''Then no.''

Duncan gave a bland laugh. '' They'll be fine. Everything will be fine.''

"I hope so Duncan, I really hope." He-man was interrupted by one of the rebels.

"Caspian troops in sight!"

"Next to the royal guard." Blue peacock added.

"Get ready." He-man shouted.

xxXXXxx

"Troops around Grayskull, sir." One of the Royal Guard informed James.

Kale grabbed a binocular and snorted at what he saw. 'Our suspicions were right, James. Adora really came back. ''

'' And why do you say that? ''

'' The great rebellion is here. ''

James takes the binoculars and frowns. The great rebellion was around the palace, with He-man on the front line. '' And now? '' He looked back at his friend.

'' Now we attack. Follow the plan. ''

'' Have you ever thought what will be your plan goes wrong? '' James asked. Now knowing the secret, he had no doubt what He-man was protecting inside that castle.

'' I want all spread out on all sides of the castle. Kill those rebels. '' Kale ignored him and ordered the commanders.

"Kale." James approached.

There's no such thing as Kale, James. I was sent from the horde world to train with the best of your warriors. Just for several of them to turn against us! It's our turn. It is the turn of the new horde to take control. That palace is going to fall for us today. "Kale turned away angrily. So angry that even James was startled.

"Very well then." He looked in the binocular again. "Yeah, He-man, you can't even handle that much power."

Across the field, He-man frowned and tightened his sword a little, this is going to be a long battle.

Kowl and Broom watched the wizards shine even brighter. Both knew that they were gathering more and more powers so that they could return the planet to its true reality.

It had been at least an hour since the battle cries had started outside and they both looked at each other as the group shone even brighter.

"I just hope it doesn't take much longer." Broom commented and Kowl just nodded as he stared at everyone shining even brighter.

While the interior of the castle was calm, outside the forces on both sides did not retreat and continued steadfast in battle. The rebels had complete freedom of struggle since they knew that everyone would be well after reality came back.

The battle went on and on, even as the warriors tried to enter Grayskull and were quickly arrested by the rebels.

He-man fought some of the masked as they surrounded him. So far James has not left the transport, which was several meters from the battlefield. None of the rebels dared to get too far from Grayskull, even though they knew James was in that carriage.

He-man punched one of the warriors, sending him away. But around him, when out of nowhere, a wall of ice rose between him and the villains. Turning, he found Frosta with her hand raised toward the wall for the first time, seeing her with a straight face. '' Go near the castle. I hold them here. "She said.

He looked at her in surprise and she snorted. '' We have no time to flirt here He-man, let's leave that for later, now go to the castle. '' She ordered again.

He recovered from the shock and ran closer to the castle; he had not realized how far he had gone so far. The hero thanked by Teela not have heard the empress of ice at that time, or the friend of your sister probably would be in danger. Putting these thoughts aside, he shot down several soldiers and prevented one of them from shooting Hawk.

The pirate quickly thanked him and fired the impact ring and knocked down another warrior, then shoved his brother-in-law and punched another warrior who was ready to knock He-man down with a swipe of a sword.

The hero frowned. 'How many times have you and Adora done this scam?'

'' I lost count. '' The pirate replied.

'Forty-two.' Bow replied after shooting an arrow. '' Well, I told these were. ''

"Shut up," Hawk exclaimed jokingly. The three of them ducked as a bolt of energy shot toward them, only to be answered with a wave.

Hawk looked at the mermaid, who was now trying to reach only James's armies without hitting the rebels. "Marmista, can you keep them busy for a few more minutes?"

''I'll try. Whatever you are trying to do, do it now! ''

He turned to He-man. '' We'll need to be in a high place. ''

"What are you thinking?" He-man asked.

'' Duncan was not developing a shield for you and She-ra? I remember having an power amplifier for emergency.''

The hero understood. '' If we broaden the power of my sword ... ''

'' Make a temporary shield. Adora said she would let us know moments before she could be released the power. We can create the shield and lower it at the right time, they won't have a chance.

'' I've done something similar once, it might work. '' He-man commented.

"More or less like when She-ra used the power of the crystal castle in Brightmoon?" Bow asked and Hawk nodded. The rebel archer exclaimed. '' We will cover, go! ''

"Stratos!" He-man shouted and the birdman flew toward him as quickly as possible. Leve Take me to the top of Grayskull. 'The friend just nodded and took him there.

James watched the battle from afar and didn't miss He-man's movement. ''What he is doing?''

'It doesn't matter now.' Kale answered and picked up the communicator. '' I want more guards here, we will not lose this battle. ''

James fumed and stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Kale asked. '' You will not screw it up now. ''

'' No, I will ensure our victory. '' With that he disappeared and within seconds a flash of light appeared in Grayskull.

'' What? '' Kale asked himself when the glare blinded him temporarily. In a matter of seconds, his eyes returned to normal and he glanced sideways. James was no longer there.
