***PRINCE TO PAUPER AND BACK AGAIN***
*/
CHAPTER 4*/
Damani stood there stunned, Adam had just proposed to her and everyone was waiting for her answer. She swallowed hard and fainted, Adam caught her and laid her on a bed. When she awoke both Marlena and Teela-Na were fussing over her, Adam had gone to get a cold compress. She asked the two for advice, she loved Adam but her family would disown her if she married below her class even if it was the former prince of Eternia. Marlena told her follow her heart, and if nothing else she will knight Adam or make Randor do it. Teela-Na said Adam could claim Grayskull anytime he wanted, making him King of Grayskull. That shocked Marlena and Damani, Adam had just walked in and heard the Sorceress and said "Sure I could but you would lose the power and protection of Grayskull unless you want to marry me too."
The Sorceress blushed saying "Not really Teela would never forgive me, nor would Duncan."
Damani sighed and said "Yes Adam I want to marry you, but we need to keep it a secret until we find a way to deal with my family."
Adam picked her up smiling and hugged her then gave her a passionate kiss, the other two women slipped out of the room. Marlena and the Sorceress began making plans on how to help them, in the end Teela-Na told her all about Adam's true story of becoming He-man. It was decided they had to get the Power Sword back into Adam's hands.
A month later
The Fall Ball was a month away And Damani wass finishing up their costumes, well her costume Adam's was done a month ago. Adam's costume was brown leather pants with the outer thighs having chain mail patches, a hard leather pauldron covering his left arm and chest, fingerless gauntlet for his left hand and a fur lined long cape. Damani even got golden copies of the twin swords of Grayskull made. Adam had become a local champion and was hired by the town as a protector, after a few encounters Skeletor's forces quickly learned the town was off limits when they wanted to start trouble. Evil-Lyn had showed up one day and ended up returning to Snake Mt with a red bottom, she was unable to sit for a few days. Adam had caught her and spanked her with the flat of his blade. Damani put the finishing touches on her costume and it looked great and was very practical, Adam had told her he loved them and may use his as a back-up since he could put his corradite crest on his costume. Damani's She-Ra costume was white leather with gold embellishment, the skirt was leather strips over a light mail and she wore a golden corset and headgear.
The Fall Ball
Adam and Damani entered in costume, since he had gotten a rich tan over summer, everyone thought it was really He-man and She-Ra. The theme was champions and everyone dressed as a champion, some even had dressed as Earth champions like the royal family. Marlena had men drooling over her as Wonder Woman in her classic outfit and black wig, They were equally in awe of Adora as SuperGirl. Many enjoyed seeing King Randor as the Macho King Randy Savage, he even did a fair impression of him and would go "OOOHHH YEEEAAAHH!" While funny was accurate and everyone was having a good time. Teela was dressed as the Sorceress and she came over thinking Adam was He-man since everyone was calling him that. She asked where he had been these last seven months. Adam spun around looked her dead in the eye and said "I have been working hard after you got me thrown out of the palace,now leave me alone. I have nothing to say to you, or do you want me to have Damani kick your ass again?"
Teela realized it was Adam and he was still pissed at her so she walked off, even putting on a little more speed when she saw Damani returning from the ladies room. For a while everything went well Adam and Damani ended up on the upper walkway around the ballroom, they were enjoying the music and watching the couples dance. Adam was paying close attention to Adora dancing with Seahawk, Adam had noticed the buccaneer had his hand slowly working it's way down his sister's back towards her ass. Adam knew his sister didn't mind but he was sure he was going to have a word with the pirate later. Just then there was an explosion. as part of the wall was destroyed. In walked Skeletor and his crew, he had just started one of his rants when Evil-Lyn pointed out on the walkway. Skeletor looked and saw He-man and She-Ra and became a bit nervous, Adam whispered "Stay here" then jumped over the solid oak banister/half-wall.
He landed on the ball floor in a crouch then stood and started walking toward the villains, using his He-man voice he said "Bone head I'm not in the mood to have you ruin my fun tonight, I just got back from training and I want to relax. Evil-Lyn can stay for a dance or two but the rest of you better leave before I lose my temper."
Skeletor says "What are you going to do if I say no you muscle bound boob?"
Adam grins saying "My sister and I will crack your skull like an egg, then I hear Evil-Lyn enjoys a good spanking."
Evil Lyn blushed, she does like getting spanked but after what Adam had done she wasn't sure she wanted He-man to spank her. She said "Skeletor I think we should go now, while He-man is willing to let us."
Skeletor was a bit scared as this was the first time He-man had made a threat of actually hurting him, the villains were so distracted by this they failed to notice Adora had slipped off. They also failed to notice Damani had been pulled down, She-Ra traded costumes with her wanting to back Adam up. Lucky for the two women nobody could see them, Adam's bluff had bought them time. Now She-Ra stood and leapt down to back him up. Looking around Skeletor noticed all the masters were there, realizing he was out matched he decided discretion is the better part of valor and called a retreat. As Evil-Lyn started to leave Adam said "Next time Evil-Lyn I want a dance before you go."
She blushed as she left, once they were gone Randor came over to thank them. She-Ra had lept back on the balcony/walkway, while Adam walked off. Queen Marlena shocked everyone as she ran up and Hugged He-man then said loudly "Thank you Adam for saving us!"
Adam bowed and said "Of course my queen, I live to serve Eternia. Besides I could not let anything happen to you or Princess Adora, but mostly I had to protect the woman I love."
Damani walks up smiling saying "Talking about me?"
Randor is stunned and is left speechless when Adam says "It's better they think He-man is back and more of a threat than ever than to know you ended him King Randor."
The guests gasp and whisper among themselves at what Adam meant. Randor asks "How shall I reward you for saving us tonight?"
Adam says "I want my sword back, the one the guards took from me when you cast me out."
Randor orders for it to be brought and given to him then asks "What did you mean I ended He-man?"
Adam sighs and holds aloft the power sword and yells "BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!"
Lightning arcs off the sword to him and in a flash of light Adam is transformed and grabbing the blade he yells "I HAVE THE POWER!"
Jaws drop and several people faint as they see He-man stand where Adam once was bigger than ever before. Teela was in shock as she stared at him mouth agape and loins on fire. Seahawk took a step back and looked at Adora, then smiled as he leaned in to kiss her. He stopped short turning to see He-man and gulped, Adora laughed and pulled him into a kiss. Randor felt like a real horse's ass for disowning Adam now and wanted to set things right, but Adam wasn't having it so Randor insisted Adam be knighted at the least. Marlena declared even if Adam was not the prince he was her son and would be given a noble title, Adam however refused a title but said he would love to call her mother again. This brought a tear to many an eye as they witnessed this touching scene between mother and son.
At the end of the ball everyone voted Adam as the winner of the costume contest, Adam was awarded some land and his old villa by the hot springs. After the ball Adam tossed the power sword into the air where it glowed and the Sorceress transported it back to Grayskull. Adam had broke the rule of keeping it secret he was He-man so she had to take the sword. Adam smiled at Damani and they left for home.
