Randor Pov:
"My son is He-Man. The mysterious protector that has been looking after Ever After High to being the wielder of the powers of Grayskull, is my boy. The same kid that I helped raise with Marlena when I was just a king trying to keep the kingdom in balance before they thought I was ill-fit to be king. Never in all my days, I'd think that my son would be able to do something like this, which was wielding the same power I protected for half of my life. And it's now been taken by Keldor as well as being used to take over Eternia as well the enchanted kingdom. Right now everyone had returned to their homes to arm themselves for the fight ahead. Not everyone could return to Ever After High since the school had a barrier to protect it from harm, I'm now looking over the daughters of two queens who are destined to be enemies. Ironic enough that my son and nephew have already started, and I'm unable to stop it from continuing any further."
Night Time-King Randor's Palace
There was panic happening across Eternos as well and its people retreated to their homes and waited to see if the danger was clear. Right now in the castle were Randor and Man-at-Arms who were discussing battle strategies for Skeletor would strike them to that of any part of the kingdom. While battle plans were being discussed, Raven was with her friends staring outside of the city limits where they saw the army preparing to defend its borders from being attacked by Skeletor and his new power. Standing by her was Apple who for the first time felt scared since she'd heard from her mother what this was like with the Evil Queen.
"I grew up around this."
Raven interrupted the moment of silence as Apple forgot how her roommate grew up with generals and other villainous members of the Evil Queen's court. While Apple was growing up amongst dwarves and learning how her mother became the fabled woman that everyone knew, Raven had to endure watching lands being ravaged by her mother.
"It's always quiet before things escalate. Whether it was my mother announcing invading a kingdom to letting hordes of dragons burn a village, things always get worse just before it begins."
She stated to Apple that in these moments of panic where everyone would question what would happen. It was the buildup that made it frightening for those who would be under the Queen's sight if she planned on attacking them.
"Hopefully, my mother can assist in the fight. She returned to the kingdom before everyone returned home. We just have to endure what comes our way, right?"
Asking Raven that despite testing destiny during her time at Legacy Day. She was able to make it out of the moment intact with small consequences, this however was different on a larger scale. From Keldor using Thronecoming as cover to spring a surprise attack to showing the Storybook of Legends being fake. To uncover Adam as He-Man, she had believed in things coming around if they stuck together. With that being said, the two looked over where the Eternians weren't seeing it that way since Adam was in the corner staying out of sight since he believed he had failed in protecting his family and friends.
"How are you feeling?"
Someone asked him as it was Teela who wasn't wearing any type of battle armor or anything that would make her appear ready for battle. Was wearing nothing more than normal clothing she barely knew what was going on anymore after what had happened that day.
"You mean lying to my family about being He-Man? Not stopping my cousin from taking the sword that's practically made him a god? Because I'm feeling like an idiot."
He explained how things would have been different if he hadn't stumbled upon Castle Grayskull. If he ignored the sword and returned to Eternos, Adam could have an ordinary life and continue his training to become king of Eternos. Teela laughed softly since it was the first time she'd heard him call himself an idiot for the first time since he was always sure about anything.
"Maybe. At least you used it properly, I bet if Stratos or even Orius got the sword they'd be messing with everyone. Possibly Orko, can you imagine it? A Trollan with muscles?"
Teela made a joke about how the sword could have been discovered by their friends and tried to get attention from everyone since it gave the wielder the power of Grayskull. The idea made the prince laugh with Teela despite things being gloomy and full of fear It was flowing through the room. The two looked at everyone talking amongst themselves about planning battle strategies for what would come their way.
"I wanted to say sorry for how I acted back at Graykull. It was just, that I didn't believe it was possible to be lied to twice in one day. Incidentally, it seemed for the greater good of Eternia, which kinda makes you think that Raven was right to not write in the Storybook of Legends. Sometimes following in someone's footsteps isn't what it's cracked up to be, and we need to figure out our own stories."
Summarizing that while her mother had to be the protector of Grayskull and guard its secrets from people who'd attempt to steal them. While it was to preserve things in balance, it meant sacrificing the normal life that she could have had with Man-at-Arms and the kids. It took a while for Teela to think about and see why Raven didn't want to follow her story, she didn't want to give up the things that made her happy.
"I guess it doesn't matter now since the book was fake. But it doesn't explain what Keldor will do next."
Adam responded to Teela about how his fallen cousin had gotten the sword of Castle Grayskull along had mastered havoc to make him invincible. However, without the Storybook of Legends to be written within it to make it permanent. It was more than likely that there was a chance of beating him, the only question was what could the skeleton teenager do with all his newfound power.
"Sir. The fairy girl we took in for custody has decided to inform us about what Skeletor's next move is."
An Eternian guard reported to Randor as the king allowed the guard to bring in Faybelle Thorn, who was the collaborator in the parade disaster and attempting to take the Storybook for herself. Everyone in the room saw the guards bringing in the young woman who was wearing enchanted gauntlets to keep her from escaping and using her magic on anyone in the room.
"Now then Ms. Thorne. While Headmaster Grimm had to return to Ever After High to look after the other students for protection, he left you in our custody. That doesn't mean you're not in trouble, there's much you have to answer for. Especially what Keldor is planning to do now since he has He-Man's sword."
Man-At-Arms instructed her that she wasn't at school and would be held accountable for what had happened at the parade. Especially, with her help in gathering Skeletor's forces to help make him powerful in the first place. The dark fairy said nothing due to how despite being left behind by the council of havoc, she wouldn't rat them out since they were the only 'interesting' people at Ever After High that she enjoyed hanging around with.
"This isn't a joke Faybelle. People are going to get burr if you don't tell them about what Skeletor is up to."
Apple pleaded with her about how this was more than fairytale evil but uncontrollable and destructive evil that didn't care about what would stand in its way. With that being said along with having everyone's attention on her, Faybelle got annoyed by the princess's plead and decided to oblige in telling them what would happen next.
"All I know from bonehead is that he has been raving about how he'd combine havoc once he had the storybook of legends in his hands. All I was concerned about was getting it and establishing myself as the new queen of evil. But, the book is fake. So he'll attempt to do things the traditional way, by conquering both kingdoms."
She explained how they'd take the book to make sure they'd make their destinies permanent and become to ultimate power of the enchanted kingdom and Eternia. With the book fake and nowhere to be found, Skeletor would use Grayskull to ravage the land as well as its inhabitants. Everyone continued to glare at Faybelle to see if there was anything that she could be hiding since she was looking after herself when she attempted to take the fake book.
"And maybe get revenge on Adam. A personal vendetta that I have to respect."
Adding one more detail to his plan made everyone concerned since without his sword, Adam was exposed and could be attacked at any moment. With that idea coming to everyone's mind, they heard the sky rumbling with thunder as Randor rushed out of the balcony to see what was making the sound. To where they were staring up above was a dark cloud that was filled with the brim of green lighting along with the sound of laughter coming from within it. The security defenses went online and started to fire upon the dark clouds but to no avail, as the green lighting destroyed the turrets.
"Get the kids and his majesty out of here now!"
Duncan told his guardsmen to evacuate Adam and the others before they were struck by the supernatural lighting. It was too late due to how a large bolt of lightning struck into the room where it showed none other than Skeletor, who came making a dramatic entrance while also holding the sword of Grayskull.
"Quite the welcoming party isn't it? While I'd have my people to celebrate my ascension into godhood, they were planning the invasion of havoc across the land."
Skeletor spoke with a gracious tone and sounded delighted at how triumphant he had become that he didn't view King Randor or Raven as threats. The royal guards rushed over to protect everyone but to no success, he waved his hand across the guards and turned them into undead ram warriors as they walked over to Skeletor's side. Man-At-Arms and Teela brought out their weaponry and prepared to fight him, Randor on the other hand stopped as he walked forward to see what had happened to his nephew.
"I promised your father I'd look after you as if you were my son. I raised you by Adam's side and believed you could do great things, so why? Why would you do this?"
The king questioned his nephew about becoming the same threat he had destroyed years ago when Eternia was introduced to the Enchanted Kingdom. The skull-faced boy stared at Randor seeing the pain he had brought onto him, especially that of his aunt who was not here to see him in person. At the moment of hearing that question, Skeletor's gaze went as he breathed on how he'd respond to his family.
"I'm not doing this to hurt you, uncle. I'm doing it only to make Eternia powerful, and prove to outsiders that no force can stand equal to the power of Grayskull and Havoc."
Responding that he'd make the planet as well as the remaining kingdoms into his territory and declare himself as ruler of Eternia. Adam stared at his cousin along with the sword in his hand at how he was abusing its power, without thinking he took one of the axes off the wall and charged at him. Skeletor's soldiers rushed to stop Adam but were stopped by the prince slashing against their chests. Surprised of Adam's swordsmanship, he stood in stance and was ready to fight his cousin.
"Doesn't matter what power you have Keldor. It won't make you a leader, it'll only make others stand against you. Like what Faybelle did in trying to get the book. There'll always be resistance against corruption."
Responding to him and calling out his real name the others could see the look on Adam's face in taking the matter seriously. It took everyone by surprise that despite not having his powers, the prince would still protect his family and friends from a powerful threat like Skeletor. It left the havoc user to chuckle at his bravado and how Adam believed he could beat him. Swirling his finger around Adam, Skeletor decided to toy with his cousin along with the others to show the power he had obtained.
"I guess it's cute how you think that you know me. But I've been pulling your strings. Yes, I've been pulling your chain!"
He started to sing as well as summon his havoc chains to bind everyone in the room toward the walls so they kept out of the performance. Adam stayed vigilant and was able to avoid the chains as the axe was able to cut through them when they tried to bind him.
"It's such a hoot to shoot my foes in the back. Poison the cat in my lap, be the wolf in grandma's cap. Oh Queen, what big eyes you have!"
Skeletor spoke toward Apple as he saw how scared she was at the sight of him using his powers to hurt her friends. Staring at Adam and decided to entertain him, by engaging the prince in a fight.
'Why do I do the nasty things that I do? Yes, I'm evil through and through. Nothing I hate more than you!"
Stating toward Adam before kicking him through the door as he followed pursuit to continue the fight. His undead soldiers brought down Randor and the others so they could watch Adam's defeat Skeletor would make it slow and painful.
"While you were out partying, I was planning your fall. I can't feel bad 'cause it's just too good. I can't feel bad 'cause it's just too good!"
Stating how while everyone was enjoying their time at Ever After High. Skeletor and his forces planned to take the sword of Grayskull and the Storybook of Legends to become rulers of both kingdoms as well as Eternia. Making their way down into the main hall, the two continued their fight with Marlena and the others watching the battle in front of them.
"So gather round, though you can't 'cause you're bound. By the very same laws, they used to hold you down. Parade around the land with that annoying loincloth and lying all to your friends? Tricky, tricky, what a pity. Hey He-Man, you failed because now? My story has begun!"
He laughed at Adam for posing as a great hero to only be a child getting over his head as Skeletor lifted him into the air before throwing the prince into his soldiers. Being surrounded by the ram head demons. Adam weaved and avoided being harmed while trying to defend himself as he saw Skeletor smirking at seeing his cousin in danger.
'Why do I do the nasty things that I do? Yes, I'm evil through and through. Nothing I hate more than you!"
He repeated it to Adam since there was a deep anger for how he had gotten the greatest power in the universe instead of him. Continuing to abuse Adam and humiliate him in front of everyone, Raven was able to dig deep within herself to use her magic to revert several of the guards to their normal selves. Realizing what was happening, Raven sent them toward the havoc user Skeletor stopped them in a second before hurling the Eternian guards out the window.
"Face it, you're basic I could kill, and I would. I can't feel bad 'cause it's just too good."
Telling Raven that she wasn't meant to be the villain of either Eternia or the Enchanted Kingdom. With that being said, he moves the undead guards away as Skeletor kicks Adam through the doors and watches him tumble down the stairs. Following in pursuit of the beaten prince, the others rush over to attempt and get Adam away from Skeletor. He strikes the sword onto the ground and ignites a fire around the courtyard keeping everyone away he aims it at Raven and Teela who seem to be the only ones ready to face him.
"Think you could end me? Oh, I wish that you would! You are all my puppets and it's just too good."
He calls them on how he used each of them in his quest for power as Skeletor whistles from the shadow to summon his pet Panthor who comes to his side and has on a riding saddle. Tying up Adam in chains and placing him behind Panthor, Skeletor saddles up and aims his sword to the side as he opens a portal to take him and the fallen prince back to Grayskull.
"You're broken and I love it 'cause it's just too good!"
Finishing his song as Skeletor lets out a laugh before going through the portal with his prize. Leaving several of the undead warriors at bay to handle anyone who might come after him, they were handled from above by Stratos and Queen Andreeno's son Buzz Off as they fired several ropes around the undead soldiers to prevent them from hurting anyone. They were accompanied by several soldiers from the two kingdoms and were ready for battle.
"Skeletor has used the power of Grayskull to blacken the skies around half of Eternia to allow the shadow beasts to roam rampant. We need to strike now."
Buzz Off told Randor and Duncan about amassing Eternos's army and raiding Castle Grayskull. It was much for the two men to contemplate what they had just witnessed in front of them, how one boy was able to master ancient magic in about a couple of hours while they were planning to defend themselves. Raven on the other hand saw how Skeletor didn't have his havoc staff, meaning despite having unlimited power. He couldn't risk using it as well as Grayskull's magic without destroying himself, meaning there was a way to stop him.
"I know the way to Grayskull. And how to bring down Keldor."
She interrupted their conversation while trying to locate the castle and find a solution to stop Skeletor's invasion across Eternia and rescue Adam at the same time. Most of them seemed unsure if they could trust Raven since this would be the right moment for her to usurper things and be like her mother. Despite thinking that, Apple could tell that her friend was telling the truth.
"If she knows how to do it. Then I believe her."
She spoke out for her and had faith that while their story was to be mortal enemies, that was for another day along with Raven being around Adam more than anyone either here in Eternos to that of Ever After High. Meaning they had an edge if she knew how to get into Grayskull without alerting Skeletor's forces, all they needed to do was trust in Raven and have faith in them to stop this evil from spreading across the whole of Eternia.
Later-Castle Grayskull
Once hidden away from the sight of wanders to have no one enter its halls, the ancient fortress was now out in the open with a horde of shadow beasts monitoring the outside while inside was Skeletor and his forces at work. R'Qazz and Tri-Klops were fortifying the outside to prepare for any attacks that would come from the other Eternian lands to that of the Enchanted Kingdom. The rest of the council prepared for an attack while Evil-Lyn was focused on learning about the magic of Grayskull while Skeletor was entertaining his guests, such as Adam being locked in chains in front of him and the Sorceress who was caged and in her eagle form.
"You know eventually you'll be stopped Keldor. It's always like it in the stories, whether it's here on Eternia or in the Enchanted Kingdom. Evil will always beat itself in the end."
Adam continued to resist being broken despite having a purple panther by the corner ready to pounce on him along with Kitty sitting by the Sorceress's cage toying with the fallen protector. Skeletor, hearing his name merely growled in announced as he lifted his finger toward Adam and levitated him directly at his feet.
"It's because of the book you think like that. I mean, sure I don't have the Storybook and rewrite my story. But with Grayskull and Havoc's magic, I can rewrite it the old-fashioned way. By crushing everyone in my path, along the lines of expanding my authority across the universe of course. I have big things in mind once I settle my business here."
Explaining to the prince that the Storybook would have imprinted his story and rule without anyone changing it. The magic he had obtained would be more than enough to conquer everything in his sight to that of ensuring no one would be able to usurp his upcoming rule. Throwing him back to the ground, Skeletor heard that struggling coming from behind as he stood up from his throne to check up on the progress of what Evil Lynn was doing.
"I've never felt this much power before. It's as if I'm looking into the whole of time and space."
The new sorceress informed Skeletor as they were in a chamber where Lyn was staring at a well, the well of eternity. There lay the secrets of the universe to that of ancient knowledge that had been collected by the elders. Despite using her knowledge of magic as well as the new power that she had been granted, not even Evil-Lyn could bind it to her will.
"They never said it be easy to take over the world now did they? Oh well, instead of controlling it. Will make Grayskull accept the will of havoc, by force!"
He announced as he took the havoc staff that Lyn had and slammed the hilt against the water. Just as he made contact with the well, Skeletor's mind felt like it was being drifted into the void as he felt the arcane history of Eternia itself. Evil-Lyn moved back seeing how the undead leader couldn't move nor say anything, he merely stood there as if he had been petrified.
"Skeletor?"
She asked in a nervous tone as the witch saw the expression on Skeletor's face being that of emptiness and gazing upwards at the ceiling. While that was going on, Kitty looked over at Panthor who continued to lurk around the corner waiting for the moment to pounce on Adam.
"Oh, Panthor. Feeling hungry?"
The Wonderlandian girl asked slyly before showing him a sandwich she took during the Thronecoming parade. Smelling the scent coming off it and noticing how Kitty was teasing him, Panthor growled in annoyance before rushing toward the girl before she vanished into thin air. Still being chained on the ground was Adam who watched the confusing display of cat hostility as he saw the floating sandwich near one of the doorways, coming through was Mer-boy who saw the floating sandwich and grabbed it.
"Sweet. Free sandwich."
He spoke in excitement before the Aquatican could react toward Panthor who pounced on him and caused both of them to tumble down the staircase. With that being done, Kitty appeared from the side and helped Adam to break free in an attempt to rescue him.
"You're helping me? I thought you were all in on ruling over the kingdoms?"
Questioning the feline's allegiance to the council she seemed the right type of person who'd enjoy the chaos that Skeletor was making. The girl rolled her eyes at him thinking she was like the crazed members of the group who enjoyed destroying things around them.
"I like to cause trouble. Not hurt people, there's a difference. Plus with how things are going I don't think it'll be fun afterward, not unless you and the bird fix everything."
Admitting that despite what's been happening she believe that there was a limit to making trouble for everyone. This was too much for her as Kitty was able to break Adam's chains and help him up, then next part wouldn't be easy as they would have to free the sorceress from her cage. Walking over to try and open the cage, the orange-feathered bird stared at him as she attempted to communicate with him telepathically.
"It's too late for me. Skeletor has taken much of my magic and has given it to Lynn, the only one who can repair the magic that's corrupting the land is Teela."
Informing him how Teela was the next Sorceress of Grayskull and could handle the flow of magic than Skeletor and Evil Lynn. With that being explained, the two were struck by a bolt of energy that sent them hurling into the air and landing in the arms of Two Bad and Trap-Jaw. The blast came from Skeletor who was wielding his havoc staff and holding the power sword in the other. Evil Lynn was by the side as she seemed traumatized by what she'd experienced after spending time near the well of eternity, to which both of them had different expressions on their faces.
"I saw. So much, so much history and past Eternia. How the planet was made to that of it being the center of magic across the universe. And why does everyone want to attack it, they want the power. But they can't have it, either here or that of the Enchanted Kingdom. Grayskull and Eternia is mine!"
He shouted in a crazed manner as he was about to destroy Adam due to how he believed that the prince and Kitty would attempt to steal it from him. Just as he was about to land a powerful blow toward the pair, there was an explosion that came from outside which startled Lynn and not Skeletor.
"Skeletor! Were under attack from half of Eternia and the enchanted kingdom! We need the power of havoc now!"
Tri-Klops shouted from above the tower as the undead ruler projected a view to see numerous armored vehicles and soldiers outside to try and raid Castle Grayskull. Growling at what was happening outside, he gestured for Trap-Jaw to go outside and help out with making weapons for the Shadow Beasts. Meanwhile, Two Bad held onto Adam and Kitty as he would deal with them.
"No one will take my power. Neither you nor any one of this world can take it, nobody!"
Reminding them about being the one in control before he was shot in the back by an intruder who came through underneath the castle as Skeletor collided with Two-Bad and let go of the two teenagers. The attacker was Raven who was being aided by Teela and DJ who was wearing an armor styled based on his father's original suit.
"Tell that to our mom. Bonehead."
DJ announced as his right hand was armored with a mace as he rushed toward Skeletor to then be engaged in a fight with Two-Bad. Just as they battled, Skeletor noticed the sword dropped on the ground and tossed to the side. Adam freed saw it and attempted to grab it, but just as he was able to take it back. He looked over seeing his cousin driven mad by the magic of Grayskull and Havoc he aimed his staff at Raven and Teela.
"Drop the sword or I'll wipe them off the face of this world!"
Giving him an ultimatum but didn't realize that Raven could let out the same type of dark magic that her mother used to usurp the lands of her home. Channeling her anger out and firing a beam toward Skeletor, he was able to push back as the blast left half of the room blind as they were at a standstill. By the side was Teela who looked over and saw Evil-Lyn who was standing by her bird mother who was still trapped within her cage as she didn't know if she'd tried to attack or harm the Sorceress.
"We can't take over Eternia. It's too much, even for me."
Lyn told Teela as she used her magic to unlock the cage and free the Sorceress, the pair went to the well of Eternity to try and mend things before the power balance that Skeletor had caused would ruin the entirety of Eternia. Raven continued to use her magic to try and overthrow Skeletor, though it wasn't enough as he blasted her against the wall. Attempting to get back on her feet and try again, Skeletor was about to finish her with one blow from his staff. Before having the chance, he was stopped by Adam who managed to transform into He-Man and interrupted his cousin from harming Raven.
"Thanks for the assistance. Go help Teela, she's the only one who can get things back together."
He instructed her as the purple-haired girl went back to join the girls and help with restoring the balance of magic. Skeletor on the other hand was seething with anger for how he'd gotten back his power, but it was little to avail as he still had his god form and the havoc staff.
"You will not stand in my way in becoming one true ruler over Eternia and Grayskull itself."
"But I will. If your destiny is to be Eternia's threat, then it's mine to protect it from the likes of you. Even if you're my family."
Adam responded to Skeletor seeing how despite the convincing and pleading to prevent him from going down a dark path. It was investable, importantly that Skeletor didn't seek to revert to ordinary Keldor. Hearing that and how his annoyance stopped him no matter what condition he was in, the skull-faced villain spun his staff in a battle stance preparing to engage his cousin.
"Then it'll be a joy in smashing you out of existence. To drive your cursed face from my memory forever, as well as to be the one. That killed He-Man!"
Informing him before the two clashed their mystical weapons which sparked a light between the powers of Grayskull and Havoc. They battled in an intense struggle as Skeletor used his magic to face off against He-Man's strength as the pair continued their fight up through the staircase. Meanwhile at the well of Eternity were the girls who were trying to figure out how to set things back to normal.
"When I attempted to use the well to try and understand its magic, it felt like I was being erased from existence and being remade. It's impossible to understand it."
Evil Lyn informed Raven and Teela about how powerful the well was not knowing the true depth of what it was capable of. Though that wasn't all true, the only one who could understand the well and master its purpose was Teela who was the daughter of the Sorceress. Looking over at her mother who was still in her bird form, she looked scared at what needed to be done.
"I don't think I can do it. I don't have magic, I barely listen in class. I'm scared."
She spoke to the Sorceress about how instead of fixing things she'd end up destroying everything that was connected to Eternia. The bird felt the sadness of her child and how things looked dismal for everyone close to her. Feeling like she was about to cry, Teela felt a hand on her shoulder as it was the Sorceress who was back in her original form and was glowing majestically.
"Do not grieve my child, despite myself not being there for you and DJ. In my heart, I have always watched for you. And knew the power that passed on to you, is there. Along that, I will never leave your side."
Informing Teela as she hugged her daughter suddenly the magic Skeletor had given to Evil Lyn left her and traveled into the Eternian girl. Both she and Raven moved back to see Teela transforming in front of them as her armor changed to represent the garments of the Sorceress.
"You are Teela-na. Not a warrior of Eternos, or a guardian of Grayskull. But a master of the universe. And I will always be with you and DJ, till the end."
She spoke to her before disappearing and transcending all of her essence into Teela. With the transformation now complete, Raven and Lyn were staring at the new sorceress of Grayskull along with her staff. Speechless at her new look of feeling the magic of her mother flowing through her, she felt another presence from behind it was DJ who was with Kitty and helped out in battling Two Bad as he saw his mother disappearing.
"I didn't even get to say goodbye."
He spoke out at how after years of believing his mother was gone, she was write there in the center of the castle. Teela noticed the sadness coming from her brother and walked over to comfort him at how there was more to it than just vanishing out of thin air.
"She's still here. As long as we're here, our mother will never be forgotten."
Teela assured DJ that no matter where their mother had gone, her spirit was with the both of them. With confidence given to her and the magic now unlocked, she gestured for Lyn and Raven to step aside as she brought out a set of wings before diving into the well of eternity. Just as they saw the new sorceress dived into the water, she was able to change the balance of magic resulting in the castle shaking to that of it happening outside where the battle was happening.
Outside of Castle Grayskull
It had become a full-blown war for the fate of Eternia as both armies from the two kingdoms were engaging with Skeletor's forces. The Shadow Beasts were devastating Eternos's machines while the soldiers were doing in standing their ground, they were being beaten. Tri-Klops was with the beasts and had armored them with axes and blasters that made them invincible.
"As calculated. Science is the ultimate power of the universe!"
Announcing to the air as he led the charge against Man-at-Arm's men was taken by surprise by Stratos who descended from the air and kicked him to the ground. The Avian peace smirked at taking out the warrior as well as continuing to help out the royal armies, while that was going on. Duncan and Randor along with the aid of King Charming and his men were doing their best to handle the beasts.
"These creatures are giving more fight than the Evil Queen's dragons. It still wasn't a smart idea to let Raven Queen lead a group into Grayskull."
He spoke out of having misgivings of the daughter of the evil queen who would seize Skeletor's power and become the new ruler of this dark army. They didn't listen and continued with the fight in front of them hoping for a sign in the tide of battle to change. Back at the top of Grayskull was the continuing fight between He-Man and Skeletor as they saw behind them the ensuing battle between the Eternia standing against him.
"Look at it! It's over Skeletor, just end it!"
He-Man yelled at him before taking another swing at Skeletor's staff the two continued fighting each other as they seemed out of breath. The more power that he'd used against him, Skeletor felt his Grayskull magic leaving him as he continued to use it in the hopes of ending his cousin. Making a portal appear in front of him, he pushes his hand through as it enlarges and grabs He-Man in an attempt to crush his body.
"Not before I crush you and hurl your lifeless body into the abyss!"
Responding to him as he was inches away from ending him with one crush. A light emerged from the top of Grayskull that shined above the castle to that of the battlefield where it was able to destroy the Shadow Beasts. It cleared away the battlefield leaving half of Skeletor's team alone to of himself who now was armyless and powerless. It left Adam the opportunity to break free from Skeletor's grip and deliver a powerful punch toward his skull which sent him off into the air and landed him directly toward the ground. Confused by what had happened and being beaten, he looked above to see his partner Evil-Lyn standing over him and appearing to have been beaten as well.
"We lost. We have to accept it."
She stated in a sad tone as several of his teammates came in looking beaten and dropped to the ground as they accepted surrender. Standing around them were He-Man, Raven, their friends as well as the new sorceress of Grayskull Teela, who looked at the fallen undead teen seeing there was no point in continuing the battle. Not saying anything and lowering his head, Skeletor didn't notice Lyn holding his skeleton hand which took him by surprise since he didn't expect her to act this way.
"But that didn't mean it was fun. Wasn't it?"
Asking him that while they didn't become the rulers of Grayskull and Eternia as well as the rest of the kingdoms. It was exciting, to say the least as he noticed Panthor coming by to comfort his master in his hour of defeat. All he could do was let out a laugh of wickedness that made everyone realize how far gone Keldor had become, there was now only Skeletor. While the victory was great and the balance of magic was restored, there were losses that they couldn't bring back.
