CHAPTER 26.

Carrying her hand to her mouth, Teela could not stop the tears from coming. Adam was He-man. Her best friend and fiance is the grayskull champion, but that was not what bothered her. He had been lying to her since he was sixteen, and he turned away and made them fight several times because of his behavior, or rather his false behavior.

:::He deceived me.::: She thought. The next minute she heard the door open and came face to face with He-man.

'' Teela? '' He asked, startled.

'' Oh oh. '' She-ra exclaimed with a grimace.

"He-man, or should I say Adam?" Teela exclaimed angrily.

'' Tee, listen to me ... ''

'' What's there to hear Adam? '' Before he could say anything, she exclaimed.

'' I trusted you! '' She could not face him, so she turned and ran.

'' Teela! '' He-man was about to go after her when he felt a careful hand on his shoulder preventing him from going.

'' Later. '' His sister spoke. '' Now there are people who need us. ''

After a minute looking at where Teela had run, he remembered what was at stake at that moment. Nodding, He-man ran to the opposite side with his sister with the goal of returning to the ballroom.

After running aimlessly through the palace, Teela found herself in the gardens. Even with the tumult inside the palace, there was still a threat on the outside, and the guards were determined not to let anyone else in.

She joined the battle and without realizing it, ended up surrounded by the masked ones. After getting two of them down, three others appeared and before she could do anything, everything went black.

Susan lowered her gun and looked at her friends. '' Send her to one of our bases. ''

'' One of our bases? '' One of them asked.

'' This is how we identify when the person did not participate in the horde. With these stupid questions! Remember the plan, they will waste a lot of time looking for she and that will give us the advantage of having what we want. '' Susan whispered and went back to fight with the rest of the royal guard while the others did as she asked.

A portal opened and Teela was taken in. Soon the portal closed.

He-man deflected another explosion and then threw the sword, which knocked down some of the warriors' weapon.

"We already have what we wanted, let's go!" One of them ran inside and shouted. Only to be overthrown by Battlecat, who growled fiercely.

Caspian looked one last time around the room and then produced a smokescreen with his powers. All the villains are gone.

'' They have what they wanted? What were they talking about? "Duncan questioned.

After a moment of thought, He-man sighed. '' Teela! '' He hurried off to search for the palace.

In the hiding place.

'' Did you make sure they know part of the plan? '' Caspian asked.

'' Yes, I spoke in battle. That will confuse them for a while. "Susan commented.

'' What about the captain? ''

'' She is safe. Along with the rest of the sorcerers we captured. Everything indicates that she is as powerful as the others. ''

''Great. Such powers will be very useful. ''
