CHAPTER 4_
Whiplash was surprised when Adam, the cowardly prince, vaulted over the balcony wall and came crashing down on him. The evil warrior was further shocked that he got caught by his tail and slammed into the palace wall, then before he could even stand Adam had stomped his knee breaking it . Following that up with a knee to the temple, at this point Whiplash was knocked out. Adam then turned to launch himself at another one of the evil warriors, just as Teela and the palace guard joined the fight._
Back on the balcony King Randor watched as Adam crushed one villain after another, the king was in awe of his son's skill and almost superhuman strength. It was here something clicked, when he saw Adam take a deep breath before bringing his sword down on one of the robots. Randor couldn't help but to mumble "He fights just like He-man." to himself._
Adam was now face to face with Skeletor, who was actually scared for the first time in quite a while. Skeletor opened his mouth but never got to say anything as Adam hit him with an uppercut that sent him flying. The next thing Skeletor knew Adam was standing over him drawing in a deep breath as he raised his sword. The villain held his Havok staff over his head as Adam came down with a mighty swing, both weapons shattered causing an explosive release of power. This sent both warriors flying, Skeletor got impaled through the shoulder by a statue's spear. Adam was saved by Lyn's magic before he was run through my ones sword, Queen Marlena even thanked her for saving her son._
Skeletor used his magic to open a portal and called a retreat, then had his robot warriors to cover his escape. As luck would have it the mystery hooded figure showed up to help the evil warriors get away again. Seeing the figure was most likely female lead to questions like, was it Evil-Lyn and if so why is she hiding herself, or was it someone trying to take her spot._
Once it was over the Sorceress of Grayskull appeared and returned Adam's power sword, she also informed him he could tell his parents and Teela if he wanted. Adam sighed as he took the sword knowing it was the only choice he had for now, in order to keep a sword that could handle his style of fighting. He then told her it would only be until he could get a sword that could handle his power and he was not going to become He-man unless he had to._
That night Adam had his parents come to his chambers, once there they saw Duncan and Orko, but not Adam. Then Adam's walk in closet opened to show Adam and Cringer dressed as He-man and Battlecat. The royal couple chuckled until Adam drew his sword and transformed he and Cringer, the laughing stopped dead. Then Marlena yelled "I knew it, and it's about damned time you told us young man!"_
This caused He-man to cringe as he said "I am sorry mother but Duncan and the Sorceress told me I had to keep it a secret, and I couldn't tell even you."_
All eyes went to Man at Arms, who was now sweating buckets as the royal couple glared at him. That night Duncan heard words coming out the Queen's mouth he never heard before, in fact he had never seen her that mad before. Randor wasn't far behind her either, Duncan was glad when it was over he wasn't being banished or executed or even fired. That was only due to Adam calming his parents before they did so, still was in hot water with them. He almost asked Orko to use his magic to let him escape, but thought better of it._
In the morning Duncan submitted Teela to be considered for Adam's bride. Teela told Adam she had reconsidered marrying him, only for Adam to tell her Too bad she already laughed in his face. Adam figured Duncan had told her, if not the Sorceress had and he was pissed. Adam spoke with his parents over breakfast and asked to go on a tour of their allies with the ladies petitioning to be his wife and gather more ladies and strengthen relations abroad, then they could stay at his country villa until he could decide or his time was up. Randor smiled taking his wife's hand and said "Adam take as much time as you need son, you have our permission. I would like to help by setting things up for you so give me a couple weeks."_
Over the next two weeks everything was taken care of by the king himself. Adam spent a great deal of time with the three ladies who wanted to become his wife. His dates with Damani usually were shopping trips where he had to endure her dragging him to clothing stores and trying on outfits for hours on end, with Teela it was some physical activity and a picnic. His favorite by far was with Lyn they were almost magical, as it often was just them being alone together not really doing anything._
It was finally the big day, they loaded up the attack-track and headed out. Around four hours later they were attacked by a few snakemen, they made quick work of the snakemen thanks to Lyn using frost magic on them while Adam and Teela attacked. Damani stayed back and hid with Cringer. the fight lasted only a few minutes before the snakemen slithered away._
It was dark when they reached Sub-Eternia, where they met the Kelgore and Spelians. The Kelgore might have been Whiplash's race but they were allies to Randor. The batlike Spelians didn't look much better, however they had members that appeared more human due either to magic or being half human. Our heroes were introduced to two such nobles Sonara the Spelian king's niece and Grune the Kelgore princess. Both women were nearly seven feet tall, not much taller than Adam, and they had tails that was all they had in common. Sonara had batlike wings and ears, she was blue skinned with long red hair and a killer figure. Grune was built like a brick wall with large muscles, green skin and blonde hair. Adam thought both women were beautiful._
Adam and the Ladies spent the next two weeks training with their new friend, Adam even learned to forge weapons from the two young ladies. This lead to the group to develop their own custom battle gear, even Damani had a good time building an outfit to fight thought it looked like some S&M outfit but if it worked and she didn't complain he was fine with it._
