CHAPTER 9_
That night Adam called the palace and found out Cringer was recovering well, Duncan also said he would send three prototype cybercats for him and the ladies to use. Then he went on to ask if He-man had really made an appearance, only for Adam to give him a dirty look. Duncan smirked until Adam said "Tell Teela-Na that the answer is still no, this was just an emergency."_
Teela asked "Who is Teela-Na?"_
Adam smirked saying "Ask your father, it's not my place to to tell you."_
Teela looked at Man at Arms and asked "Who is she Father?"_
Duncan sighed and said "We will talk about it later after you get home Teela."_
Teela wasn't happy with the answer, but chose not to push it seeing her father becoming upset. Adam however smirked knowing he got both his old mentor and the Sorceress in for a battle with a real Hellcat, and that meant he got payback for them making him keep it a secret from her and his parents for so long. Lyn didn't know what was going on, but seeing Adam with an almost evil grin put a smile on her face. Adams grin became a devilish smile as he came up and kissed her while Teela was busy. Lyn fainted from shock or lack of rest and nourishment she didn't know, but she did know she would do anything to be kissed by him again._
In the morning three cybercats showed up Androcles the golden lion, Tigara the silver tiger and Panthrine the onyx leopard, all three based on Battlecat's dimensions. They were well armed and armored, they also carried arms and armor for the three. Adam still had to make do with royal ceremonial armor but it would do in a pinch, maybe the Widgets could do something with it. The best part of the cats was they had a comm system built in, this would help in so many ways not to mention the speed they could travel now._
A few hours later Adam and the ladies headed out, after telling his mother where they were headed. They ran into an ambush an hour or so later, however Adam had a bad feeling when they left and had Buzz-off and Sweetbee follow at a distance with a few troops. So when they did get ambushed the ambushers got ambushed by Buzz-off and Sweetbee along with a dozen of the hive's warriors. The villains got away but just barely._
It took half the day to get to the Widget stronghold, but once they did they could see Skeletor had his minions surrounding the fort along with robots and shadowbeasts. It took some doing but the big robotic cats managed to slip past them, in part due to Lyn using an invisibility spell on them. They thanked the ancients her magic had returned this morning. This also earned her what she desired, a kiss from Adam. That pissed Teela off but she knew she couldn't say anything, least she earn a lecture from her best friend._
Once inside they began to help set up defences, and called in for help from the palace. After that Adam asked the leader if there was any corradite crystal, the Elder Widget took him to the vault where they had a piece the size of a softball. Adam asked to use it and the Elder gave it to him, so Adam went to the forge and fired up his chest plate. Once hot enough he beat the corradite into it, breaking little shards off as he did. Adam then forged them into his gauntlets and greaves of his armor. The process took a while, but for some reason the villains weren't attacking._
During this time Lyn was busy giving out her spell replacement packs to be used in the catapults and thrown from the wall. The replacement spells were little more than distraction and confusion, but the flashes would cause the shadowbeasts to back off if only for a moment. Teela helped organize the defencive lines and set up counter measures. Both ladies wondered where Adam had disappeared to, but while one hoped he would transform into her beloved He-man the other just hoped he was safe._
Adam adorned his armor and took a couple Ambrosia pills, then he let out a mighty primal yell. Outside the stronghold Beastman and the others had a cold chill run up and down their spines. Then all hell broke loose, Adam leapt over the wall and charged in for an attack. The first robot was cleaved in two with his first swing, followed with a straight kick to a shadowbeast's chest. That sent it flying with a cracked sternum into a tree, where it was knocked out by the impact. Adam proceeded to smash the next robot, then swing his shield to send several shadowbeasts soaring. The whole time Triclops and Beastman could see the smile on the savage prince's face, and it was scaring the crap out of them. Skeletor gulped thinking "So savage, I think I would rather deal with He-man than an enraged Prince Adam"_
Adam continued to destroy robot after robot like they were nothing, the shadowbeasts faired little better but at least he had kept from killing any so far. As Adam got closer Skeletor and his men really got nervous, the man was getting more brutal as he fought not to mention his skills were getting better by the minute. When Adam got with in ten paces Skeletor opened a portal to get out of there and back to Snake Mt._
Back at Snake Mt Skeletor was yelling and cursing at his men when a Woman stepped out of the shadows. Damani yelled "What the hell is wrong with you all? I set him up, I feed you information on his movements and you still can't capture a pampered prince and two sluts."_
Skeletor yells "Watch it woman, I will not be spoken to like that."_
Damani grumbles an apology, then takes his hand says "Look I just want to honor our agreement, you help me become the next high queen and I help you get into Grayskull."_
As she says this the takes his hand and runs it on her cheek, then using his fingertips she brushes them on her lips and finally ends by sucking on his index finger. Poor Skeletor never expected this and it left him rigid, much to her delight. Then the two went to his private study to hammer out a new plan of attack._
NOTE Okay Dudes and Dudetts that's it for this chapter. I wonder what plan they will hammer out and will we find out the ramifications of it later stay tuned.
