Return to Eternia PT3

In the skies above Eternia, there was the presence of haste in the air blasting across were the Masters of the Universe. Teela, Sy-Klone, Mekaneck and Roboto rode in the Wind Raider while Man-E-Faces and Ram Man rode on their sky sleds as Stratos and Buzz Off fly next to them. They flew at top speed having been delayed with their conflict with The Orlax, Zodak was flying on ahead of them.

"How long until we get to Castle Grayskull?" Ram Man asked.

"Still hours yet but no matter how soon we get there it maybe too late!" Stratos called.

"Lets just hope He-Man and the Guardians can hold out until we get there." Teela said.

"Indeed lets hope the Guardians live up to their experiences to face down Skeletor and survive they will need it!" Sy-Klone agreed as the Masters blasted forward ever faster to get to Grayskull before it was too late.

Castle Grayskull:

A great battle was taking place before the walls of the mystic fortress of Grayskull. Trap Jaw shifted his robotic arm into a blaster and fired it at Taranee and Hay Lin who were high in the sky dodging the blasts.

"My turn!" Taranee called. "FIRE!" Large fire balls blasted from the Guardian of Fires fists bombarding the ground around Trap Jaw the dust caused by the blasts blinded him. Leaving him open to Hay Lin swooping in.

"AIR!" She unleashed a powerful tornado blasting Trap Jaw right off his feet and sent him crashing into the ground, sadly he wasn't down for the count as he fired back on the two Guardians who swiftly dodged the laser blasts suddenly another laser blast knocked Hay Lin off balance. They looked and saw Tri-Klopps was firing his laser eye angrily towards the two Guardians the shots between the two made it difficult for the girls to avoid the onslaught of laser fire.

Little did the two villains know however that something was creeping along the ground towards their feet. The two villains were ready to fire another shot when suddenly Trap Jaw felt something snag his robotic arm backwards and he blasted Tri-Klops right in the face blinding him. Then suddenly.

"Heads up three eyes!" Cornelia slammed a stone covered fist right into Tri-Klops eye cracking the lens in his centre eye. She then ensnared Trap Jaw in her vines restraining his arm and left him open to being blasted by Taranee's fire blast.

Irma quickly dodged a punch from Clawful's powerful claw, flying up but he grabbed her ankle with his free claw and yanked her down to the ground slamming her hard.

"Heahah you don't have any water to save your butt kid!" Clawful boasted.

Irma however bore a smirk, she clenched her fist and a water blob formed and she blasted him right in the face followed by an uppercut. Clawful was completely stunned.

"Yeah you know for a sea creature I would've thought you'd know there's moisture in the air hence water!" Irma said unleashing a blast of water right at Clawful who crossed his clawed arms to try and block the blast forcing him back. The Evil Warrior however was stronger than a torrent of water and he pushed himself forwards towards Irma who pushed back with effort in her water blast. Clawful however was getting closer and closer. A blast of fire and earth slammed right into Clawful catapulting him across the ground. He was now face to face with Cornelia and Taranee.

"Lets roast us some crab cakes!" Taranee smirked to the Earth Guardian who cracked her fingers.

"Lets do one better." Cornelia extended her hands out and influenced the ground pulling the boulders from the ground then closed her hands turning them to sand she created a tornado around the humanoid crab who just looked bemused.

"Hah you think a little sand is gonna stop me?! Whatcha gonna do make my skin brittle?" Clawful joked sinisterly.

"Wow crabs really aren't that smart heres a question what happens when you super heat sand?" Taranee cracked. She ignited her hands and unleashed a blast of fire on the sand tornado and suddenly the sand was beginning to solidify around the humanoid crab then seconds later he was trapped in glass.

"It makes glass." Taranee smirked as she gave Cornelia a high five seeing the helpless Clawful try and get free. However at that moment a large wrecking ball shaped object hit the girls in the back sending them crashing into Clawful who still couldn't get up.

The two Guardians looked up and saw Whiplash standing above them smirking evilly. The Callagar readied his tail for another strike but before it hit Taranee caught it in her hands the two struggled with effort against each other. The Fire Guardian turned the tide, for suddenly Whiplash felt the ball end of his tail growing rather hot. The reason was his opponent heating her hands super hot actually burning his tail.

"GAHHH!" Whiplash exclaimed in pain then suddenly a blast of water catapulted him across the ground.

"Aww you got a burn Whiplash have some cool water." Irma joked as she and Hay Lin joined the fray. Clawful growled as the glass around him began to crack and he soon broke free of the prison he was trapped in with a hateful yell and glared towards the Guardians.

"Uh Irma hate to break up the witty banter but it looks like the sides just evened up!" Hay Lin pointed out seeing Clawful, Trap Jaw, Whiplash and Tri-Klops were staring them down hatefully. While the four Guardians readied their powers to fight and the two teams clashed against each other.

The sound of clashing metal echoed on the battlefield, as two bitter rivals He-Man and Skeletor were locked in battle, his sword of power clashed with the havoc staff in a clash. Skeletor swung his staff forming several energy balls and fired them at his opponent but the champion of Grayskull dived and dogged the incoming blast and sliced the last energy ball clean in half. Skeletor then unleashed a massive blast of purple energy at his opponent but he blocked it with his sword and slashed it away.

He-Man then charged forwards and Skeletor swung his havoc staff which he blocked with his sword. Meanwhile another battle was taking place. Evil Lyn swung her staff unleashing a massive wave of magical energy towards Will, who flew upwards flipping backwards dodging the incoming attacks. She then flies forwards and delivers an uppercut to Evil Lyns face who growls and swings her staff whacking the Guardian Leader away.

The witch trained her staff on Will who stood ready for a fight. "One of the most powerful mystic hearts in the infinite dimensions and the Heart of Kandrakar winds up in the hands of a naive child!" Evil Lyn said to her.

"Not like I asked for it but I'm not about to let it fall into the wrong hands!" Will exclaimed to her. "Especially the likes of your boyfriend!"

"Hah!" Evil Lyn scoffed as the two circled each other. "So naive I was once naive thinking I was satisfied with what I have when I could have more but when I met Skeletor he realised my true potential! Though I despise him for what he put me through I will have the power I so rightfully deserve!"

"Well your not getting this power! Marzo tried and he failed and so will you!" Will denied.

"You know nothing of power, not even that of your own! You've barely scratched the surface of its potential!" Evil Lyn taunted. "You don't even have your full power!"

"My what?" Will breathed surprised using this distraction Evil Lyn flipped her staff hitting Will in the gut then fired a blast sending her flying across the ground.

He-Man heard this and saw her on the ground. "Will!" He exclaimed Skeletor acted and blasted him back with a blast from his Havoc staff sending him skidding across the ground close to Will. Suddenly blasted by Evil Lyn as she focused her attacks on the champion. The Guardian leader got back up again just as a blast flew right past her and she turned surprised towards Skeletor.

"HEHEHAHHAHAHAHAHA!" Skeletor cackled. "That power of yours will be mine child one way or another!" He yelled unleashing another blast. Will quickly materialised the crystal from her chest and held it up and it formed an energy shield around her deflecting the blast back at Skeletor which he narrowly dodged.

"Might want to rethink that bone head!" Will said as she flew forwards towards her new opponent and he unleashed more blasts towards the Guardian determined to claim her power and the power inside the ancient fortress as his own.

Inside said fortress the castle walls shook and buckled from the battle outside. They were in the main hall before the Sorceresses throne. Caleb carried Moss Man and sat him down near one of the pillars while he was healing, while Blunk and Orko helped to watch over the wounded Master of the Universe even picked a small weed that was on him. He was a little grateful while a small gesture every bit counts.

Man At Arms supported the Sorceress and carried her to the stairs to her throne. He carefully lowered her down so she could sit down. "Are you hurt?" He asked with concern.

"I…I am fine Man At Arms." The Sorceress breathed regaining her strength suddenly the whole castle shook from a massive blast outside.

"AH!" Blunk yelped. "AH castle too pretty to be destroyed!"

"We gotta do something!" Orko exclaimed.

Caleb scowled he really didn't like being inside while his friends were on the front lines defending the castle. "I should get out there and help them!"

"Easy kid the last thing we need is for you to go out there half cocked." Moss Man said to him groaning.

"Moss Man is right despite most of us not being injured we need to have a clear head in the lead." Man At Arms agreed. "I understand you wish to help Caleb but we need to think rationally."

The Rebel leader sighed he realised the Masters were right charging in blind wouldn't help He-Man or the Guardians, they needed to devise a way to help them. This wasn't the rebellion in Meridian so they had to plan carefully. Their plans were interrupted by a groan from the Sorceress as she tried to stand up, Man at Arms was quick to support her arm.

"Easy your in no condition for a fight." Man At Arms comforted her as she was standing on her legs again.

"I…I… I must get down to the heart of the castle protect the power of the Elders." Sorceress said trying to regain her strength. "I've received contact from Zodak he and the other Masters are on the way you must help He-Man and the Guardians defend the Castle while I try to shield us."

"Hey easy don't try and push yourself." Caleb said.

"He's right you need to regain your strength." Man At Arms agreed showing genuine concern for her.

However the guardian of Grayskull wasn't going to let her weakened state stop her from protecting this fortress and the power within. She summoned her strength and then she transformed into a falcon flying through the castle to reach the Crystal orb. Blunk was surprised at how she transformed into a bird and frankly so was Caleb.

"Okay so what do we do?" Caleb asked Man At Arms and he turned to the rebel leader with a serious expression.

"We do what we can." Man At Arms said. "Blunk, Orko watch over Moss Man and keep the Castle safe. Caleb you and I are going to help protect the Castle until the rest of the Masters can get here!"

"Great but I'm gonna need a weapon." Caleb said showing his broken sword. Realising the rebel leader wouldn't last long against Skeletors forces despite his skills Man At Arms pulled out his mace club and tossed it to Caleb. "Here use this!"

"But what about you?" Caleb asked genuinely surprised that the weapons master gave him his weapon. In answer to his question Man At Arms reformed his arm cannon.

"I have everything I need." Man At Arms smirked.

Back outside the battle was heating up Will was evading all of Skeletors dark magic blasts as he slashed his Havoc staff. She quickly used the heart to create an energy shield deflecting his next blast. He-Man was facing Evil Lyn as she trained her staffs power on him with a powerful torrent of dark magic. The Champion of Grayskull blocked the blast by twirling his sword then slashed it away, leaping up and delivering a sword strike on the witch. Only for her to block his strike with her staff she pushed He-Man back and blasted him with a blast of her staff.

Will blasted forwards and delivers a powerful flying roundhouse kick to Skeletors bone head knocking the Havoc staff out of his hands. This was then followed by an uppercut from the leader of the Guardians. She was ready to land another attack when suddenly she felt her hand was being pulled by something. She looked and saw a shackle and chain made our of purple dark magic, the sound of maniacal cackling could be heard she turned to see Skeletor smirking with his eyes glowing sadistically as he extended his right hand and his staff blasted back into his possession.

"You throw a few good punches." Skeletor smirked. "But now its my turn!" The mouth of the Havoc staff opened and unleashed a powerful blast catapulting Will across the ground.

Simultaneously Evil Lyn summoned seven orbs of dark energy, combined with her staff she unleashed her power on the champion who tried to hold it back with his Sword of Power it was so powerful he skidded across the ground leaving deep drag marks in the ground. He-Man growled with effort trying to hold it back suddenly he lost his footing and skidded across the ground and landed next to Will. She was quick to hurry to the champions side helping him up.

"I forgot these two pack a punch together." He-Man realised. Will looked at the two villains approaching them from both sides with their weapons charged.

"Yeah they may look tough, but whats say we show them what it means to be in synch." Will said to him and he realised what she was implying. "Wanna go for the combo we practiced?"

"Lets do it." He-Man smirked just as Skeletor and Evil Lyn were about to open fire He-Man and Will clenched hands and he swung her round in a circle and tossed her feet first right into Evil Lyns face, she circled round with her wings flapping full speed and blasted into her back sending her flying into the air. Skeletor charged at He-Man but Will swooped in and grabbed the champions hand swung him round and he landed a massive punch to Skeletors gut creating a sonic boom blasting him away. He-Man then tossed his sword like a frisbee while Will blasted ahead with her wings grabbed the sword, got behind Skeletor and unleashed a massive slash catapulting Skeletor into the air suddenly he was met with a double fist slam compliments of He-Man slamming his enemy into the ground right on top of Evil Lyn.

The two heroes stood side by side as she returned his sword. "And thats how its done! Guardian style!" Will cheered.

Suddenly without warning a familiar roar erupted and leaping towards He-Man and Will was Beast Man and Merman leaping down from their griffin having flown to Grayskull from the Sea of Rakash. The two were about to attack the heroes when suddenly.

*THWAK!* A mace club struck Beast Man in the face sending him crashing into Merman and they tumbled across the ground.

The two looked and saw Caleb had arrived on the scene armed with Man at Arms mace club. The two villains growled as they got up again. However Caleb just smirked and said one word.

"Sick'em." Beast Man cracked his whip but Battle Cat swiftly tackled him to the ground growling the Bezerker kicked the big cat off of him and cracked his whip lashing around Battle Cats neck trying to tame him, but He-Mans loyal companion wasn't going down that easily. With one yank of his neck Beast Man was pulled towards him and was swung round and around and around until finally he let go and catapulted him away. His jaw was met by Caleb swinging the mace club right to the side and he crashed right into the recovering Trap Jaw.

"Nice timing." Called Cornelia as they all regrouped towards each other.

"Well we can't let you guys have all the fun?" Caleb smirked.

"We?" Taranee questioned just then Merman was charging in with his trident and yelling only to be blasted away by a shot from Man At Arms arm cannon the latter looking pridefully smug.

A humming sound was heard and the castle was soon surrounded by the energy shield once more, except this time the shield had glowing white magic on it as well. Inside the inner sanctum The Sorceress stood before the crystal orb and at her side was Zodak, using some of his magic to strengthen the shield.

The heroes saw the castle was now fully protected however their victory was short lived for suddenly a massive shockwave of dark magic struck them with devastating force and they were all restrained in purple magic chains.

"I AM THROUGH TOYING WITH YOU CHILDISH FOOLS!" Yelled an angered Skeletor who's patience had finally snapped.

Not too far away the other Masters of the Universe were approaching the battle. Mekaneck extended his neck to get a good view of what was going on. He looked and saw the heroes as well as Man At Arms were restrained in Skeletors dark magic as the Evil Warriors gather.

"We gotta hurry they need us now!" Mekaneck exclaimed to Teela.

"Then lets move Masters double time!" Teela proclaimed as they pushed their vehicles to the limit to get to the battle before it was too late.

The Guardians, Caleb, He-Man, Man At Arms and Battle Cat were completely restrained and tied to struggle free themselves . Even with the champions strength he couldn't break free of these enchanted restraints. Skeletor and his Evil Warriors were closing in on their prey with their leader smirking his boned teeth with anticipation. Just as they got closer suddenly He-Man's sword began glowing in a golden light as did Wills chest as the Heart manifested itself. This took everyone completely by surprise especially the Eternians present.

"Oh boy its happening again!" Hay Lin squeaked and then suddenly the two objects unleashed a massive golden shockwave blasting Skeletors evil forces back and broke the heroes restraints.

Using this advantage Cornelia quickly slammed her fist to the ground and erected a massive stone barrier around them and the Castle. Irma and Hay Lin followed combining their powers to form a barrier of ice around them as well.

Skeletor and the warriors recovered still taken greatly aback by what had just happened. "Evil Lyn explain what just happened!"

"I…I do not know!" Evil Lyn herself was startled she was still processing this herself just how did the champions sword and the Heart of Infinity manage to accomplish this?

"No matter!" Skeletor growled. "The power of that crystal and Eternia's elders will be mine and no children and muscle bound oaf are going to stop me!" He rose his staff and it surged with power and fired upon the barrier soon joined by Trap Jaw, Evil Lyn, Merman and Tri Klops with his cracked eye blasting it with all their might.

Behind the barrier He-Man and the Guardians of the Veil tried to hold the barrier up. "Thats not going to hold them for long!" Cornelia exclaimed. "Any ideas?"

"We've got to protect the castle Skeletor cannot get the power that resides inside." Man At Arms said to them. "We've got to hold them back."

"Uh Duncan not sure if you've noticed but we have been holding them back!" Irma exclaimed exhausted. "They're pushing back harder!"

"Guys." Will said a little freaked and they all saw the crystal and the sword were still glowing in a golden aura.

"How is this possible?" Man At Arms asked.

"I am unsure Duncan, but this isn't the first time they've reacted like this, somehow someway the Heart and my Sword of Power have been glowing in each other presence even interlocking together during our fight with Marzo."

"Or creating a freaky light show dazzling the Shadow Beasts and Beast Man." Hay Lin agreed which was still raising questions among them.

"So any ideas why they're doing that?" Cornelia asked Man At Arms.

"Cornelia just because I know of magical energies such as that of the Elders does not make me an expert in all magical artefacts much less the Heart of Infinity itself." Man At Arms told her.

While everyone discussed this Will was lost in her own thoughts, she was thinking back to when they defeated the Shadow Beasts to protect her history teacher. Then of course the very first time the two artefacts interlocked together and combined their powers to defeat Count Marzo.

"Okay but if the sword glows while in the Hearts presence doesn't that mean they're somehow connected to each other. Like similar power?"

"The Sorceress saying something about how the power of Grayskull and the Heart of Kandrakar share a similar degree of power."

The Guardian Leader remembered the words of Taranee and Adam, was this a coincidence? No wait maybe this was somehow connected if so could it help them get out of this mess.

"Wait!" Will realised getting everyones attention. "Guys this might sound crazy but I might have an idea. Has anyone noticed that when Cringer becomes Battle Cat he doesn't have to call down the power?"

"Thats right Will, when I transform I share the power with Cringer so he can become Battle Cat." He-Man then said.

"Right, and think about it when the sword and the crystal locked together it combined all our powers so we could beat Marzo." Will explained. "Has anyone stopped to think that maybe there's a reason for that?"

The Guardian leaders words did seem to raise even more questions about this development. They wouldn't be lying if they weren't a little curious Taranee most of all, but what they heard next would be considered inconceivable.

"What if the Power of Grayskull is the kind of thing you share with others?" Will said.

"Wait you want He-Man to point the sword at us?" Hay Lin asked.

"No way I am not turning into a body builder!" Cornelia argued.

"Shame you could catch a lot of bulk guys attention." Irma teased much to the blondes glaring.

"No I think I see where Will's going with this we've seen that the two could link up but that was as a burst we haven't considered what happens if we focused it into us?" Taranee wondered.

"I do not know if that is possible Taranee." Duncan said. "He-Man has never shared the power with anyone else other than Battle Cat, plus the power of the Elders is essentially the heart of all magic in Eternia there's no telling what could happen if it was mixed with the Heart of Kandrakar."

"Yeah and I'm in no mood to get blown up!" Cornelia agreed.

"Plus why would it do that now?" Irma questioned as well.

He-Man looked at his glowing sword in wonder at all was being said, was it possible to mix the two powers together and if so would there be any consequences.

Castle Grayskull: Inner Sanctum:

All the while the Sorceress was listening to their words as she looked over the Crystal orb. She was deep in thought on the matter did she know something that they didn't.

"I know what you are considering." Zodak said without the Sorceress even looking at him. "But you realise the risk that may come from this."

The Guardian of Grayskull did listen to the Mystic Guardians words, and she did realise the risk in doing this. The mixing of magical hearts of different worlds was incredibly dangerous, and who knows how it could affect those who use it. For power can corrupt, but at the same time she knew why the two artefacts could interact with each other. Because they were made that way. How did she know this? However she knew doing this could bring consequences from certain individuals, but with what was at stake they had no other choice. So with a deep breath she made her decision.

"Kandrakar forgive me, but there is no other choice." She whispered then focused her mind. "He-Man, Guardians hear my words."

Outside the heroes heard the Sorceress's psychic presence in their minds and listened. "Sorceress?" He-Man said.

"Listen closely what you are speaking of. It is possible but there isn't time to explain we must act now!" The Sorceress explained. "Will, insert the Heart of Kandrakar into the Sword of Power, then He-Man you must call down the Power, the rest will be up to you."

"Call down the power?" Taranee asked a little startled. "With the Heart inside the sword?" She turned to Man At Arms as did everyone else.

"I…I do not know if that is possible?" Man At Arms then looked to He-Man in concern. "You've never called the Power of Grayskull while as He-Man."

He-Man himself was unsure it was true he had never called down the power while in his current form. However that train of thought was derailed by the sudden cracking sound from the barrier separating them from Skeletor. On the other side the barrier of ice had been shattered by the Evil Warriors combined might and the wall of earth was beginning to crack. Skeletor smirked for soon both of the ultimate powers in the universe would soon be his.

Cornelia quickly focused her powers to try and hold the cracks back but it wouldn't last long. "Gah!" She growled with effort.

"Well ya know there is an old saying on Earth! There's a first time for everything!" Irma hastily said.

"Yeah so what do we have to lose?!" Hay Lin agreed with equal haste.

Realising there was no time to debate this Will and He-Man nodded knowing what they had to do. The Champion held up the sword and Will raised the Heart towards it, then in an instant the crystal flew from her hand and towards the sword, the centre of the hilt opened and the crystal linked into it and the sword was glowing with a mix of gold and pink energy. He-Man held the sword aloft as it glowed much to the awe of the girls, Caleb, Man at Arms and Battle Cat. That halo glowed brighter and brighter which caught the attention of both the Evil Warriors who ceased fire and the approaching Masters who looked in great surprise.

"Wha…whats going on?!" Trap Jaw gasped.

"I…I don't know!" Evil Lyn breathed in equal shock. The halo was at its brightest and in that moment He-Man spoke the words.

"BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!" He proclaimed.

A boom of thunder clapped in the skies above Grayskull, golden lightning thundered down from the heavens and struck the blade of the sword, however the energy was channeled through the blade and into the crystal in its hilt. The crystals energies reacted with the power of the Elders the energies of gold and pink swirled within it.

Elsewhere:

Meanwhile in a far off dimension stood a massive towering ivory white citadel, within the sky and a purple glow lingered in the air. It had a very magical feel to it. Within a secluded chamber of the fortress was a pedestal and upon it were five orbs surging with magic one was bright pink, the other a red orange, another bright green, one was blue and the last was white. The orbs spun around the centre no one would realise that these spheres had existed since they were forged centuries ago for they had a great significance.

Five individuals stood around the pedestal observing them. All was quiet, when suddenly a large booming sound was heard over the citadel surprising the five of them. Out of nowhere a blast of gold lightning shot down and struck the pedestal with great might the shockwave catapulted the white robed individuals away from it.

"What is happening!" Cried one individual who bore the appearance of a humanoid cat, these individuals saw this column of energy extend tendrils to these Auremeres.

"The Auremeres!" The blonde individual gasped but saw they began spinning ever faster now infused with this power.

The other individuals one being a tall bald man with a tall elderly man with a long white beard and the third a short individual with a beard and antennas on his head. The bald man looked at this power now affecting the Auremeres after the shockwave he couldn't help but feel that this power felt very familiar, and then he gasped in realisation knowing what this power was.

"This power….." He gasped. "Grayskull." The spheres blasted column's of light into the air swirling around the power blasting off.

Eternia:

The crystal surged with power as blasting around the power were the five lights surging into the sword the Guardians and He-Man were suddenly engulfed into a column combined from all the magical energies. Surprising all around them Skeletor gapped in shock and awe.

"Grayskull and Kandrakar wakes!" Evil Lyn breathed. Within the column of light He-Man seemed to instinctively know what to do next and what to say.

"GUARDIANS OF THE UNIVERSE….UNITE!"

The energies of the Heart and the Sword surged into He-Man who's entire body now glowed with magical energies. Five magical tendrils shot from the Crystal and struck the five Guardians and their entire bodies were engulfed in magic, suddenly they erupted with their respective elements. He-Mans left wrist glowed and suddenly a golden gauntlet appeared on it.

The girls appearances suddenly changed while their bodies were still glowing in magic they had new outfits and while they maintained the same colour schemes they had changed. Will had a similar pink shirt as before only the sleeves were tighter her lower right arm had a pink sleeve, on both her wrists were purple and golden bracelets her dress was the same but now sported a golden belt, she maintained the same tights, while her boots now exposed the front of her feet with a golden and purple ankle braces.

Irma had a golden armour piece on her shoulders with purple metallic bracelets and a golden belt on her waist, she too sported gold and purple ankle bracelets her shirt had shorter sleeves and while the boots fully exposed her feet.

Hay Lin's hairstyle was the same with golden hair bands in her bangs her shoulders were exposed while the lower part of her sleeves were still present. Her pink skirt was completely different split in four pieces on her front and sides the lower part of her tights were in the shape of her elemental symbol, her ankles sported purple fluffy ankle socks with purple sandals.

Cornelia had a golden belt on her waist while her long dress was opened at the front and she wore knee high boots with gold and purple armoured plating the heels and front of her feet were exposed. She had one sleeve on her left arm while she bore a greenish fingerless glove on her hand.

Finally Taranee maintained a short sleeved shirt exposing her midriff and had similar metallic purple bracelets to Irma, a golden belt, metallic gold and purple knee armour pads she had shorter purple boots with gold ankle bracelets with her bare feet exposed.

All the girls hair had grown significantly longer while Taranee had some bangs coming down the side of her head. Suddenly much larger wings emerged on their backs but they looked like shapes without the black parts.

He-Mans appearance was changing too. A gold and silver curved shoulder pad appeared followed by a metal version of his harness with red squares. He now had metallic garments on his waist golden armoured boots and gauntlets. A red cape then appeared around his neck flowing around him. Suddenly the symbol of Grayskull on his harness flashed with golden energy and it changed to a more spiked 'H' shape.

Simultaneously the girls elemental symbols then appeared. Wills, Cornelia's and Hay Lins on their upper right shoulder, Irma's and Taranee's in the centre of her chest close to their necks.

Suddenly the earth barrier was blasted away by a blast of light that surged across the land pushing the evil villains back and onto their butts. Battle Cat, Man At Arms and Caleb were sent crashing to the floor. The Masters soon arrived on the scene to see what was happening they saw the glowing light that erupted from in front of the castle.

The light suddenly faded revealing He-Man and the Guardians now fully transformed in their new appearances. They looked at each other and themselves in complete awe.

The Champion looked at his sword and saw it too had changed, the tip of the blade was split at the top and the middle area of it was glowing in a magic energy mix of both the power and the Heart which still reseted in the hilt of the sword.

"Incredible." He-Man breathed in amazement.

"WHOA!" Hay Lin beamed in a high pitched tone looking at their new appearances.

"Ha ha, cool!" Taranee agreed looking at her new appearance and her wings.

"I…I feel totally energised!" Irma said very pumped as she felt the power within her.

"Hm…not bad..not bad at all." Cornelia said admiring her look in her new appearance like a fashion model would.

"This is amazing!" Will breathed in excitement even looking in awe at the glowing elemental symbol on her shoulder.

Man At Arms couldn't believe what he was seeing, how the combined powers had accomplished this transformation. Battle Cat was gazing in amazement and Caleb's jaw had dropped at the groups new appearance especially Cornelia's.

The Masters and Teela were utterly bewildered by this development just what had happened to the Guardians and the Champion of Grayskull. The Evil Warriors were also completely taken aback by this development Evil Lyn was even greatly shocked just how was this possible could it be that the powers of the Heart of Infinity and the Elders immense power were responsible for this?

Skeletor's jaw was completely dropped in horror and shock. "I t….this…this is ….Impossible!" He breathed.

He-Man and the Guardians turned to their foes completely surprised and they stood together all badass like. "Very possible bone brain!" Will smirked as they stood together He-Man pointed the sword at their enemies.

"We have the power! He-Man smirked in agreement.

"Okay I renounce my earlier statement if this isn't a fan art team shot someones getting fired!" Irma smirked.

Skeletor growled in fury as he looked to his followers. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE YOU FOOLS GET THEM!"

The Evil Warriors charged into battle yelling their own battle cries towards the heroes. The heroes looked to each other and smirked confidently.

"Well guys lets show Eternia what He-Man and the Guardians of the Veil can really do!" Will proclaimed.

"AW YEAH!" They all cheered as they all stood with their respective powers at the ready and He-Man readied his sword.

"Then…..FOR ETERNIA!" He proclaimed and charged into battle clashing with the Evil Warriors.

The Masters were all but amazed. "Well I'll be damned." Buzz Off said amazed.

"Well boys lets get in on the fun!" Teela smirked and they charged into battle.

Tri-Klops fired upon Taranee who blasted forward with her wings barrel rolling out of the way and fired several fire fists at the villain only for him to dodge every shot. The Fire Guardians next shot was a surprise for as she unleashed another fire fist a chain of fire erupted from her right bracelet and wrapped around Tri Klop's left wrist.

Taranee was amazed how did she do that? Still she took advantage of that and with one swing swatted the three eyed villain into a nearby boulder. She looked at her bracelet and saw the fire whip then her left bracelet formed another whip as well.

"Whoa thats new." Taranee breathed in amazement. "Okay lets do this!" She charged at Tri Klops who quickly recovered and fired an energy beam from his eye but Taranee cracked her whips and deflected the beams and she landed a punch to his jaw catapulting him in the air only to then be punched back down to the ground by Stratos blasting down from the sky.

"Nice punch!" Stratos called.

"Same to you!" Taranee called back.

Whiplash swung his tail towards Ram Man who grabbed his wrecking ball tail with his hand pulling him back only for the Calaggar to pull his tail back swinging him across the ground. He readied his tail for a strike.

"Hey lizard face!" Whiplash turned round and was met by Irma slamming her fist into his face and then blasted him away with a water blast from her hand.

Whiplash growled as he charged at her and swung his tail to strike her Irma swiftly crossed her arms bracing for the impact but surprisingly it never came. She looked up and saw the wrecking ball on Whiplash's tail was blocked by water tentacles that emerged from her back.

She smirked seeing how this could help and she pushed her foe back with her tentacles then she made them into swirling whirl pools that fired water blasts right at the Callagar who crossed his arms just to hold it back but one hit him in the leg tripping him up.

"Hey Ram Man ever been blasted out of a water cannon before?" Irma then asked him.

"Uh no?" Ram Man asked scratching his metal plated head confused. "Whats a water cannon?"

Irma smirked waving her arms in a circle she made a large torrent of water spinning at fast speeds. "Hay Lin could use a blast of air!"

Hay Lin flew over and stood behind Irma's raging whirlpool, as the latter looked towards Ram Man. "Load up Pay load!"

Ram Man smirked trusting the water guardian and ran over to the torrent jumping inside it. "FIRE!" Irma exclaimed as Hay Lin blasted a torrent of air into the water and at the same time Irma blasted water through the torrent blasting Ram Man out of it like a cannon ball and he crashed right into Whiplash unleashing a shockwave.

Trap Jaw was clashing his blade with Caleb's mace club who swung it upwards deflecting the blade. The metal jawed villain reformed his robotic arm into a cannon and fired it at Caleb but Man At Arms jumped in and deflected the blast with his shoulder pad then fired his arm cannon at Trap Jaw who crossed his arms blocking the blast.

He was readying his own arm cannon when he heard a pained scream he looked and was suddenly slammed down by a flying Whiplash and they both crashed to the ground. The two were amazed by what happened.

"YAHOOOOOO!" Cried an over excited Ram Man. "That was one hell of a ride!"

Beast Man slashed his whip towards his opponent which was Cornelia who ducked below the whip then span over it with her wings. She then slammed her fist into the ground blasting a shockwave through the ground but Beast Man leaped upwards with his animal agility and slashed his whip at Cornelia's right arm and started pulling her towards him.

She tries to break free but can't break the whip. When all of a sudden a vine grabbed Beast Mans right wrist pulled him back and was socked in the face by Man-E-Faces with his monster face selected. Moss Man then appeared next to him now fully recovered and back in the fight.

Cornelia smiled seeing the two Masters had her back then suddenly Clawful appeared behind her and was about to punch her with his strong claw. Cornelia smirked and stomped the ground and an earth pillar erupted from below striking the humanoid crab catapulting him in the air and landed right next to Beast Man.

"Gah get off me!" Beast Man exclaimed angrily shoving Clawful off his back. Moss Man flung his vine spears at the two. Beast Man cracked his whip slashing at the vines but was hit by laser blasts from Man-E-Faces who switched to his robot face firing his laser pistol.

Clawful deflected the blasts with his larger claw but then Cornelia stepped forwards in front of the two masters. "Stand aside boys I got this." She said confidently.

"Oooo now we're scared!" Beast Man smirked.

"Yeah whatcha gonna do kid throw your toys out of the pram." Clawful smirked.

The Earth Guardian blocked the insults and just gave a confident smile. "Nope, but I will show you a trick I just learned." She focused her powers and then suddenly springs of lava erupted from the ground surprising the two masters she then solidified the lava into large boiling hot boulders and flung them at the two villains. Clawful moved to swat the boulders away but that was his first mistake.

The moment the rock touched his skin Clawful cried out in pain. "GAHH HOT HOT!" He cried feeling his burnt shell. Beast Man quickly used his whip to slash away the boiling hot boulders again and again.

Cornelia decided it was time to get up close and personal, then suddenly rocks and vines gathered around her arms. They formed gauntlets made of stone. "Whoa." She breathed, then she smirked using her wings she blasted towards them and struck Beast Man in the face with a punch to the face. She then landed a punch to the gut making him growl in pain. Clawful tried to attack her from the side but Cornelia was quick earth boots formed around her feet and she performed a spin kick to his claw arm then landed an uppercut to his jaw.

Beast Man roared in fury, and charged towards the Earth Guardian. "Moss Man care to help me give this guy a green thumb?" Cornelia called to the master of nature who smirked in response.

Both earth wielders stood side by side, Mossman's lower body turned to foliage as it grew all around them and flooded towards the Bezerker beast ensnaring him. Cornelia focused her will on the very vines in the ground and tied them round the villain and summoned the stone from her gauntlets restraining his hands and feet.

Clawful was the only one left standing, realising he couldn't take them on he made the only choice. "I'm gone!" He cried bit as he tried to run away he was blasted in the chest by BuzzOffs axe laser catapulting him into the vines that entrapped him.

"And thats how we do it!" Cornelia smirked proudly with her hands on her hips.

Man-E-Faces switched to his normal face. "Not bad kid not bad." He switched to his monster face. "Way to give'm the old one two." Switched to his robot face. "That attack had one hundred percent effectiveness."

"Thanks Man-E." Cornelia chuckled nervously then felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah nice work." Buzz Off agreed.

"You defiantly have talent with the green Cornelia." Moss Man said to her. "If you ever need a mentor in awaking your true potential you just let me know." That put a flattered smile on her face which Caleb saw from afar and for some reason he couldn't stop feeling a little jealous.

A huge explosion soon put him back into the fight. Roboto was firing his multitude of cannons on Tri-Klop's doom seekers that were firing from above but the robot master was able to destroy them all one by one. Suddenly a laser blast struck Roboto completly destroying his right arm. He looked and saw Trap Jaw firing upon them, Merman leaped in with his sword about to strike the robotic master until Caleb jumped in and blocked his sword.

The Aquatican slashed his sword only for Caleb to duck out of the way and slashed his mace club clashing against his opponent in a sword fight. "You're a fool to clash with an Aquatican boy!"

"Please I've fought snakes larger than you!" Caleb smirked as he flipped over Merman, performed a leg swipe tripping him up but the latter just got up again forming his trident slashing at Caleb who narrowly side stepped out of the way for the blade to catch his coat.

Merman fired his trident's energy blast at Caleb who ducked out of the way of the blast but just before the villain could fire again he was blasted in the back, he tumbled to the ground Caleb looked and saw the one responsible it was the one armed Roboto with his energy blaster.

"Thanks Roboto!" Caleb thanked as the robot master helped him to his feet.

"You are most welcome." Roboto thanked.

"You okay?" Caleb asked looking at his destroyed arm.

"My damage is minimal." Roboto said.

"It's gonna be extensive when I'm through with ya!" Trap Jaw yelled charging right at the two, suddenly a massive gust of air catapulted the tin jawed villain across the ground. He looked up and saw Hay Lin flying above him.

"Sorry tin teeth not gonna happen!" Hay Lin exclaimed, Trap Jaw fired his energy cannon at the Air Guardian who ducked and dodged each laser blast while in the air.

"Okay lets see what these Grayskull boosted powers can do!" Hay Lin thought to herself and focused her powers and around her formed several gusts of air she compressed them down into disks and blasted them at the Evil Warrior. Trapjaw fired at these disks dissipating the air then fired at Hay Lin who was quick to dive to the ground and flew towards Trap Jaw delivering a powerful air gust upper cut to his metal jaw.

Trap Jaw however shifted his canon into a pincer claw and just as Hay Lin swung an air powered kick he grabbed her leg and slammed her to the ground. He grabbed his free hand and grabbed her by the throat.

"Time to clip your wings!" Trap Jaw smirked but suddenly a gust of air blasted him off the air guardian and across the ground. Hay Lin then saw a helping hand offered to her by Sy-Klone which she happily accepted. The two air wielders looked and saw Trap Jaw reverted his robotic arm back to his cannon and fired upon them they dodged out of the way and took to the sky Hay Lin with her wings and Sy-Klones manipulation over the air.

"Hey you up for a double team?" Hay Lin asked him.

"Double team?" Sy-Klone asked in confusion.

"You hit him from above I'll hit him from below then we take him down together!" Hay Lin explained to him. This seemed to put a confident look on the Gar's face.

So they flew down into action. Hay Lin flew down and focused her powers then from her hands formed what looked like tornados over her arms. Though surprised she rolled with it. Trap Jaw fired upon her but she was quick and thrusted her arms forwards unleashing a tornado plume blasting the evil Warrior back, but using his claw arm he slammed it into the ground holding him down.

However suddenly he felt a gust of air pulling him upwards looking up Trap Jaw saw Sy-Klone blasting down from above and landed a tornado punch straight to his jaw soon followed by an air uppercut from Hay Lin catapulting him into the air. Sy-Klone and Hay Lin blasted off and held each others hands unleashing a powerful torrent of air blasting Trap Jaw back into the ground.

Meanwhile Beast Man,Tri-Klops, Merman, Clawful and Whiplash had all recovered from their defeats and were ready to attack the other masters and Guardians when suddenly *BANG!*

Something struck down on them with devastating force. The smoke cleared and it revealed Trap Jaw piled on top of the other villains. Everyone present looked up and saw Hay Lin and Sy-Klone up high the Air Guardian had her arms crossed in a Superman like way. The girls and Masters present saw they were responsible, they smiled most proud.

"The most deadlier than one typhoon is the force of two." Sy-Klone said wisely.

"Was that a one-liner I detect?" Hay Lin asked with a raised eyebrow. This did put a smile across the Gars face.

From afar, Skeletor just couldn't believe what he was seeing, his Evil Warriors were dropping like dominos and not just at the hands of the Masters but by children with magic powers. A sudden powerful yell made him turn and blocked a sword strike from He-Man the two glared each other down.

"You're losing your warriors Skeletor!" He-Man growled as sparks flew from the sword and Havoc staff.

"Warriors are expendable! As long as I still stand that power will be mine!" Skeletor exclaimed and he unleashed a blast of fire from the head of his staff blasting He-Man away from him, he then proceeded to twirls his staff as he charged forwards and fired seven blasts of his dark magic, while He-Man dodged and slashed his sword slicing the energy blasts in half one hit his sword but it didn't leave a mark.

He-Man slashed his sword while Skeletor dodged the sword strike and thrusted his staff only for his opponent to jump over him and deliver a slash to his back leaving a gash in his cloak. Skeletor swiftly turned and unleashed a massive plume of his dark magic. He-Man blocked the blast with his sword the impact forced him back but he stayed on his feet, the energy orb exploded suddenly.

Skeletor smirked and cackled seeing that he'd just destroyed his hated enemy, sadly that didn't happen for as the smoke cleared it revealed the champion of Grayskull still standing there with his sword in hand and it seemed to be glowing a lot brighter. He looked in complete disbelief, that was shared with He-Man for he couldn't believe he survived that blast but much less saw the sword glowing. He realised the sword must've absorbed all the energy Skeletor threw at him and he looked at a shocked Skeletor and bore a smirk.

"My turn." He smirked. He-Man swung his sword and unleashed a powerful energy wave Skeletor quickly fired upon it with his Havoc staff but the blasts were easily deflected forcing the master of destruction to dodge to the right he just didn't believe it how could this warrior have this power?!

While Skeletor and He-Man fought Evil Lyn was training her staff on the champion to take him by surprise. Before she could deliver the blast however. "Hey Lynne!" She turned and received a punch to the face from Will sending her flying across the ground. She looked up and saw the newly energised bearer of the Heart hovering above her.

"You want the power so badly well here it is!" Will said in response Lyn fired a massive blast from her own staff which Will just managed to avoid. "Hm you seem…upset?"

The witch breathed a sigh of frustration and twirled her staff. "Sacrifice, discipline all the ideals I followed I've dedicated my life to Skeletor, all to find the power of the elders, the very power of Eternia itself maybe even the heart of it. And you…you and your childish friends luck into it through some kind of divine intervention!"

"The Heart chose me, this this is new and guess what the power choosing who wields it isn't something you can change lady!" Will pointed to her.

Evil Lyn seethed in anger as she twirled her staff forming spheres of her magic and blasted it at the Guardian leader. Will crossed her arms and suddenly a shield made of pink energy appeared deflecting the blast, this surprised both the witch and the bearer of the Heart as well.

"Whoa." She breathed in surprise. There was more to come as she flexed her left hand a blade of pink energy emerged with a symbol of Grayskull on the blade. "Okay not like a power of my own but its a start!"

With the new weapons she blasted down and sliced her sword at Lyn who blocked its path with her staff and pushed her back. "Hey!" Suddenly Teela swooped in and thrusted her own staff at the witch whacking her across the ground.

"Save some for me." Teela smirked.

She ran into the fight as Will did the same the two charged slashing their respective weapons at Evil Lyn who parried and dodged each strike and jab. Teela flipped back and fired a laser blast from the tip of her staff only for Evil Lyn to deflect it with her own magical blast however Will swooped in and rammed into her back with her energy shield. Teela then delivered an uppercut with the edge of her staff right on the witches chin.

Evil Lyn became enraged swinging her staff infighting it in flames and fired a wave of purple fire towards the two. "Teela!" Will quickly grabbed Teela by the arms and lifted her into the air to avoid the blast.

"Nice save." Teela thanked.

"Thanks." Will replied. They saw Evil Lyn firing her energy blasts, the Guardian Leader quickly manoeuvred to avoid the shots. Teela realised they had to stop her now then she had an idea, she just hoped her best friend had trained them as well as he'd said.

"How's your aim?" Teela asked her.

Will smirked realising what she was proposing, and so with one swing from her arms she tossed Teela straight towards Evil Lyn and she kicked her feet first to the ground skidding to the ground she tossed her staff striking the witches staff out of her hands then Will struck feet first into her back sending her crashing to the ground.

"Not bad, ah…Will was it?" Teela complimented her.

"Well what can I say, I learned from the best." Will said bashfully and then gave an honest smile. "And so did he."

The captain of the guard gave an honest smile in return as well, maybe these Guardians weren't so bad after all. Perhaps maybe she misjudged them and more so she misjudged her friend and prince.

He-Man laid a solid punch onto Skeletor's boned face catapulting him across the ground, he got up to see his enemy running towards him. Moving fast he fired a concentrated blast from his staff and the blast struck He-Man's sword with great force while its holder held back with every ounce of strength he had. Skeletor pressed his attack but every attack he inflicted just increased the swords power. He-Man quickly slashed away the blast and fired one of his own from the tip of his blade. Skeletor fired back and the two powers clashed together in one mighty struggle. The two glared each other down struggling to out power the other Skeletor was gaining an advantage pushing forwards He-Man was losing ground he struggled. Just then a helping hand appeared on his, he looked and saw Will standing by his side determined, just then she started to glow in a pink aura and his was in gold they looked and saw the Heart of Kandrakar was reacting. They were soon joined by Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin who were glowing in their own respective auras, Irmas was blue, Taranee's red orange, Cornelia's in green, and Hay Lins in white their presence together made the Heart and the Sword glow more brighter than before much to the surprise of the Masters, Caleb, Battle Cat and even the Evil Warriors who could only watch what was about to unfold.

"Huh?" Skeletor gaped in shock. As the six heroes stood together and focused all their power into the sword and yelled with all their might pushing Skeletors power back, the villain tried to resist but all his attempts at this point were futile and he was consumed by the combined might of the Guardians elemental powers and the very power of Grayskull itself in one final blast.

The smoke faded and revealed Skeletor lying in a crater caused by the blast beaten and battered but very much alive. He began to get up but was met by He-Man, the Guardians, Caleb, Battle Cat and the Masters of the Universe standing above him as he climbed out the crater to face them.

"You lose." Irma smirked.

"T…this is impossible defeated by…by children!" Skeletor exclaimed in a fit of rage.

"Face it Skeletor kids today just have no respect for their elders." He-Man smirked before he turned to a serious look. "This is what happens when you share power instead of keeping it for yourself, its why you lost why you'll always lose. Whether I'm around or not."

Skeletor growled. "Pah! You abandoned this planet opening it to my rule and not even the so called Masters of the Universe can prevent me from taking what is mine!"

"Thats where you are wrong." Man At Arms said. "We are the defenders of Eternia and maybe you've always underestimated us."

"Just as you underestimated the Guardians, so from now on we protect and help each other and we are done letting one man fight all our battles!" Teela agreed defying him.

"You and ya goons are in for a world of pain!" Ram Man agreed.

Skeletor glared as he stood up followed by his Evil Warriors as Evil Lyn stood by her masters side. "Grrr you fools think you've won I will never stop until Grayskull and the power contained within is mine!"

Will then looked to Cornelia and gave her a hinting wink which she winked back at getting the message. "The power is mine by right it is what I deserve!" Skeletor bragged just as Cornelia snapped her fingers the ground below the warriors feet blasted upwards catapulting them away as they screamed to the heavens.

"You deserve that alright Skelejerk!" Irma called out. "See ya next fall!" Everyone broke out into laughter at Irma's joke as the Evil Warriors disappeared from view.

Far away the warriors crashed down into the jungles, Beast Man, Merman and Clawful were caught in the vines in the tree, while below Skeletor, Evil Lyn, Trap Jaw and Tri-Klops were lying on the ground beaten and battered.

Tri-Klops growled as they got back up from the ground. "GRRGG Lets go back and…atomise that scum He-Man and those Guardians I WANT REVENGE!"

"Those fools will suffer for this humiliation soon enough my minions I SKELETOR SWEAR IT!" Skeletor yelled as his voice echoed in the air.

Castle Grayskull:

Grayskull was safe once more, thanks to joint efforts of He-Man and the Guardians of the Veil and the Masters of the Universe. "Yeah we sure kicked some skelebutt!" Hay Lin cheered.

"Aw yeah one question people who has the power?" Taranee asked.

"WE HAVE THE POWER!" The girls and He-Man cheered and just then, the Heart of Kandrakar released itself from the Sword of Power and landed in Wills hands. After a flash of light He-Man and the Guardians returned to their original appearances, Will looked at the crystal as the symbol of Grayskull briefly appeared in a golden light before the crystal returned to its natural pink glow.

"Wow that was beyond amazing." Irma breathed amazed having experienced the Power of Grayskull.

"I'll say it was." Cornelia agreed.

Man at Arms and the Masters approached them. "Thank you Guardians you helped to protect Grayskull in our time of need." Man At Arms thanked.

"Indeed you are every bit the warriors we were told you were." Sy-Klone agreed.

"Yeah." Buzz Off said a little ashamed as did some of the other Masters. "I guess we owe you an apology."

"Indeed we were wrong to underestimate your abilities, what right did we have to tell you your place." Stratos agreed.

"We've been fighting Skeletor for so long we, forgot there was any other way." Mekaneck agreed.

"Wait where's Adam wasn't he with you girls?" Ram Man asked.

"Uh right here!" Called a familiar voice which strangely was a surprise to He-Man and and the Guardians for running out of Grayskull was. Prince Adam?

"Adam?" The girls said in a mixture of surprise and confusion He-Man was the most surprised of all how was he or rather Adam there.

"Sorry guys I was inside protecting the Sorceress" 'Adam' said.

Though surprised Man At Arms played along to this. "Yes I asked Adam to guard the Sorceress in case Skeletor made it past us."

"Yeah thats right because uh…without the Sorceress the castle would fall!" He-Man agreed.

"Right but some Doom Seekers got in, but I was able to fight them off." 'Adam' then said.

"Impressive effort Adam." Roboto complimented but before anything else was said Teela stepped forward to speak to the Guardians bearing a look of shame on her face.

"Girls…I…I owe you all an apology as well." She began. "I was wrong to underestimate you because of your age, I thought I'd learned from not underestimating ones capabilities and knowing what the true definition of a warrior was. I…I've been so caught up with what Skeletor was doing to my home that..that I forgot about everything else." She had her head down in shame. "The bottom line is…maybe. No. I was wrong about the five of you."

"Hey its okay Teela we've all made that same mistake." Will said with understanding.

"Yeah you should've seen what this guy thought of us when we started out." Irma smirked pointing to Caleb who just rolled his eyes.

"I guess we should've realised that seeing a bunch of kids fighting magical warriors wouldn't meet up with your expectations." Hay Lin said.

"But looking at it we were a little in over our heads but it didn't stop us from saving our friend." Cornelia then said.

"If its okay, we'd sure like to get to know you better Teela, the Teela that Adam said was an amazing, kind and passionate person." Taranee said with an understanding smile.

"You know. I'd like that." Teela smiled then turned to the Eternian Prince with a smirk. "So passionate and amazing huh?"

"Oh ya know heh I…I tend to exaggerate but basically it's true." 'Adam' said bashfully.

"Teela why don't you and the others head back to Eternos we'll join you later." Man At Arms told his daughter and so she and the other Masters headed to the Wind Raider and Sky Sleds to return to the kingdom leaving the others to look at the Prince in the room.

"Okay so who the heck is this!" Irma exclaimed. "How can Adam be here." She gestures to He-Man and then to Adam surprised how they can be in two places at once. "And here at the same time!"

Adam then smiled snapped his fingers and in a flash of light he'd turned into. "Orko?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"TA-DA!" Orko said like a performer.

"Bu..but how how did you do that?" Hay Lin said amazed.

"Yeah didn't know you could do that?" Caleb said impressed.

"Oh I just learned how to do it, Miss Lin taught me before we left for Snake Mountain." Orko explained.

"Grandma?" Hay Lin said confused.

Flashback: Royal Palace:

"Orko." Miss Lin called getting Orkos attention while he was on the way to Man At Arms workshop.

"Oh hi Miss Lin." Orko greeted.

"My little friend how would you like to learn a new magic trick." Miss Lin said to the small Trollan which seemed to peak his attention.

"Oooo you know magic?" Orko asked very intrigued.

"Heh I'm a former Guardian you'd be amazed at the magic tricks I know." Miss Lin explained. "Now what I'm going to teach you is a trick called Glamouring."

"Whats that?" Orko asked.

"Its the art of taking on the physical appearance of another." Miss Lin explained. "It even affects your height."

Present day:Castle Grayskull:

"She said it would come in handy in the near future." Orko said.

"I'll say it did you had us going there Orko." Cornelia admitted very impressed.

"A very impressive display." Man At Arms chuckled in agreement. "It may've been your best performance yet."

"Aww thanks guys." Orko blushed just as Blunk appeared.

"Yeah Blunk amazed by Orko's prince changing trick." Blunk agreed.

"Now we must return to Eternos and inform the King." Man At Arms then said to everyone which seemed to put a disheartened and nervous look on the Champions face.

"*sigh*I suspect Prince Adam is going to have some explaining to do." He-Man sighed knowing what his fathers reaction would be like given he defied orders and stole royal property going on an unauthorised mission.

However the girls gathered to He-Man with supporting eyes. "Hey we're all here with you Adam." Will told him.

"We'll take our share of the blame." Taranee agreed with Hay Lin, Irma and Cornelia nodding in agreement.

"They're right Adam no matter what your father thinks we did the right thing." Caleb agreed.

"Yep Blunk with you." Blunk agreed as Battle Cat stood by them all in support.

"Thank you my friends." He-Man smiled glad to see his friends were by his side no matter what. Man At Arms had to admire the loyalty of the friends that he'd made during his time on Earth. So the group left the Castle to return to the Royal Palace leaving the Sorceress looking out from on high on the castle's right eye knowing that what was done was the right thing for the sake of the planet and the protection of the Elders power.

Eternos: The Throne Room:

Everyone was gathered in the throne room of the Royal Palace. Adam and the girls now in their mortal forms stood before the King and Queen, receiving the consequences of their rouge mission to Snake Mountain to rescue Will and of Adam defying orders from his father. Adam stood tall while the girls stood behind him.

"You disobeyed orders from your king, stole a Wind Raider, brought inexperienced individuals on an unauthorised mission to Snake Mountain and endangered yourself and everyone else around you!" King Randor said in a rather strict tone while Marlena listened hoping her husband would show some leniency on their son.

Teela and the Masters stood and listened they wanted to speak up but anything they said would just add fuel to a fire. Miss Lin, Blunk and Caleb watched from afar and was hoping what was said next wouldn't make things worse. The girls stood closer to the Prince who stepped forward in his defence.

"No disrespect father, but I do not regret my actions nor do the Guardians." Adam then spoke much to everyones surprise as he continued. "I warned you and the Masters that this could be a trap and you wouldn't listen! I told you not to underestimate the girls but you wouldn't listen! I made the command decision to go with them to Snake Mountain to rescue Will, the decision you taught me to make, I know I've been nothing but a disappointment to you but I am not you I have the power to make my own decisions and voice my mind." Adam continued while his parents listened.

"If this is about your treatment before you…" Randor tried but.

"We and it's not!" Irma then said.

"He's right your majesty you may not think Adam takes his duties seriously but he does. I mean, when we first accepted the Heart of Kandrakar I had my doubts we all did but your son gave us the courage to accept it, and after seeing whats happening in Meridian we realised we had to make use of the gifts we have. I still look to him when I lead the Guardians and he showed me how to carry myself like a leader."

"He's been using what you've taught him your majesty, if you won't let him have a chance to. Then why teach him at all?" Hay Lin agreed.

"There's actually an old saying from Earth, never underestimate the power of youth. Sure we maybe young but that doesn't mean we're not willing to fight for whats right. Adam taught us that and how being a champion or even a Guardian is about defending those who can't defend themselves." Taranee said determined standing by him.

"So why should we let you dictate how we do things." Cornelia then said. "Its simple get on board or get out of the way!"

"You may disapprove of how I act father, but maybe thats how I do things and if your not going to respect my council or even my own thoughts because of that. Then maybe you don't understand me at all." Adam then spoke. "But I'm my own person so deal with it!"

With those last words the throne room went deathly quiet, and all eyes fell on the prince and his friends. The King stood from his throne and walked down to face his son who stood firm as did the Guardians. He looked his son right in the eyes as the tension in the room was rising Teela, Caleb, Blunk, Orko and Cringer all looked worried for what was coming next. However surprisingly no lecture or scolding ever came, and what the king said next no one expected.

"Well done Adam. I'm proud of you."

To say this took Adam and the whole room completely aback would be a major understatement. Not once had the Eternian Prince hear his father say he was proud of him.

"Huh?" The girls gapped in surprised.

"I…I..I don't understand?" Adam breathed in disbelief not knowing what to say.

Randor just smiled as he placed his hand on his sons shoulder. "Adam, do you know how long I have been waiting for you to stand up to me? Being a leader is not just about knowing what is best for the people around you, its about knowing what is right in your heart even when others tell you it is wrong."

"You were willing to defy your father and risk your life to help your friends in rescuing their leader." Marlena then spoke in agreement.

"I was reminded of something today, a leader isn't always measured by strength or courage alone, but by the strength in their hearts." Randor then smiled as his son smiled back. "You proved that today. And I know I've always been hard on you its just, when I became king I wasn't fully ready for this I a simple soldier become the ruler of a kingdom. I just want you to be prepared for this more than I ever was, but I see now that maybe I need to let you take on my teachings in your own way. I'm proud to see you've been passing those teachings onto these girls."

Randor then turned to the girls themselves who looked very expectant. "As a warrior myself I was taught that one must be trained in order to be ready for the unexpected and how those younger should have no place in battle." He said to them but bore a look of remorse. "But after all I have heard from not just Adam but the Masters themselves, I realise now that I was wrong, despite your age you were still willing to stand for whats right. My son should be proud to count himself among you."

"I am dad." Adam smiled proudly.

"Yeah your son is one heck of a teacher." Irma smirked leaning on his shoulder. Making Randor chuckled proudly, he looked to Marlena who nodded in agreement meaning it was time for them to share something with their son.

"Adam, come with us there's something your mother and I wish to show you." Randor gestured to the doorway.

"Ah okay?" Adam said rather curious as he left the throne room with his parents while the girls were all intrigued by what they were going to talk about.

The royal family soon found themselves in the Royal museum building of the palace grounds. Inside this hall of knowledge were displays and artefacts that dated back to Eternia's earliest history be it the relics of the former Hall of Wisdom to tapestries showing the early history of the Snakeman. Adam and his parents had come to see one exhibition in particular it was a rather large looking craft in white with a large cockpit and boosters on the roof. The side of the ship had a symbol of a planet with a gold rainbow coming off it.

"Adam, do you remember when we brought you to see this exhibition." Marlena asked him.

The Prince looked at the ship and it did bring back memories. "Yeah I remember you and Man At Arms brought me and Teela here when we were kids, to teach us Eternia's history."

"Thats right." Randor smiled as he and his Queen held hands. "You see son this vessel has a greater significance."

"As a child do you remember how we used to tell the story of how your father and I met." Marlena asked her son.

"Yeah you met on the fields of Eternos." Adam said.

"Yes. But what we haven't told you was that there was more to the story." Marlena explained to him. "You see the truth is. I wasn't born on Eternia Adam." This immediately caught his attention. "I was actually born on the same place your friends are from. I was born on Earth."

Adam was quite taken aback by this revelation and now he was more than taken in by the story as he continued to listen.

"Back then I was known as Marlena Glenn, I was an astronaut for NASA . This ship was known as the Rainbow Explorer and I was chosen to pilot it on a mission for Jupiters moon Europa. I was honoured to take the position and excited for this interstellar mission."

Flashback: Earths solar system:

In the vastness of space the Rainbow explorer piloted by Marlena in her astronaut suit piloted on course for Europa. "All was going well I was on course for my mission. But all of a sudden my ship was hit by a massive cosmic storm…"

Suddenly the controls of the ship started blaring an alarm on the console. Marlena looked at the warnings and saw a cosmic storm was approaching, looking out of her portside window she saw it. The storm hit very suddenly and the controls were going bezerk. Marlena tried to regain control of her craft to no avail the storm raged with universal energies surging through it and then suddenly a massive flash of light consumed the craft.

"The storm threw me into some kind of time space rift, the G-Forces alone should've killed me but somehow I survived."

In another Galaxy:

Far on the other side of the universe, a wormhole suddenly opened and the Rainbow Explorer tumbled out of it still out of control. "My ship reappeared in another solar system, I still couldn't regain control of my craft."

Marlena was still fighting for control of her exploration ship but suddenly the ship was struck by an asteroid belt battering it. One asteroid hit the ships engines causing an explosion knocking her forward banging her helmet on the console the impact knocked her out.

"The ship was struck by a meteor shower and it struck my rear engines and the impact knocked me unconscious…"

The ship was still rolling out of control, and into the unknown parts of space. Just then the explorer ship suddenly entered the gravitational field of a nearby planet that planet was Eternia. The ship finally entered its atmosphere.

Far below on the lands of Eternos, a young King Randor and Man At Arms were overlooking the Eternian plains. All seemed quiet and peaceful, but the silence was shattered by a massive boom that echoed through the air catching the kings attention.

"By the grace of Eternia what is that?" Randor gasped.

"Up there!" Duncan cried and they saw a flaming object blasted down from the skies above the kingdom and crashed down somewhere nearby.

"Duncan and I were wandering the Eternian plains that very day when we saw the ship crash down from the sky." Randor took over the story.

The two followed the trail of the object and they soon found a massive crater along with a crashed space ship. Randor and Duncan were completely shocked as they headed down into the crater to investigate. When they reached the ground they saw something in what looked like the pilots compartment. In taking a closer look Randor's face turned to shock for he saw a person inside the ship and she looked unconscious.

Moments later she was extracted from the ship and laid on the ground. Randor looked over her for any injuries, but luckily she hadn't sustained any injuries. "Duncan head back to the palace and get aid."

Man At Arms bowed and hurried to go get help while the king stayed and watched over the stranger from the sky. He wasn't sure why but he couldn't help but admire the stranger curiously, just then she groaned and was regaining consciousness.

"Are you alright what happened?" Randor asked her as her sight was still blurry but could make out the mans voice.

"Meteor strike…hit the..engines…fuel lines blew, couldn't hold it." Marlena groaned but when she opened her eyes she saw a rather handsome looking stranger over her. She was rather startled as she slowly sat up in surprise. "Oh…who…who are you…an…" She looked around and saw her surroundings she could see that this was not Earth. "Where on earth am I?"

"Earth?" Randor questioned.

"Y…Yes I'm Marlena Glenn I am an astronaut from Earth a planet far from here." Marlena explained.

"I know not of Earth, but I am Randor king of the kingdom of Eternos and this is the Planet Eternia." Randor then said trying to explain.

"Eternia?" Marlena said befuddled as she slowly got up, being a gentleman Randor assisted her as she still felt weak.

"You need rest, please return with me to my palace. You shall be my guest while you recover." Randor kindly offered. "I will have my Man At Arms, Duncan examine your ship and have it repaired."

"But…I…w..will that be alright?" Marlena asked. "I don't want to be a bother."

"Not at all, I think you will find it most comfortable. In a few days you'll be fully recovered and you can return to your Earth." Randor assured her. She looked into this strangers eyes and she could tell he meant what he said. She smiled and nodded in gratitude and so the two left the crash site and returned to the palace.

Present Day:

"So I stayed in the Palace as I recovered." Marlena explained as the three royals gazed at the ship. "I got to know your father and he gave me a tour of his kingdom and of the planet itself, and I just couldn't help but grow to care this world." She and her husband held each others hands lovingly. "By the time Duncan had finished repairing my ship, your father and I fell in love, and I just..couldn't bring myself to leave. So we married and I became his queen."

"Then months later we created something special." Randor spoke softly as he looked to that something special. His son. "You Adam."

Adam honestly didn't know what to say, he was born of two worlds. He had to admit during his time on Earth helping the Guardians he did feel some kind of connection to the Earth in some way and now he knew why because of his mother.

"So…I'm born of two worlds?" Adam breathed in surprise.

"Yes, you are Eternian by birth, but Earthling by instinct." Randor said. "That is why I gave you my blessing to undertake this quest to train the Guardians, to not only learn more of your Earth heritage but to learn a lesson I can only ever hope to teach you."

Adam listened attentively to his fathers words. "You are learning what it truly means, to be human." Adam smiled warmly at that he was completely speechless.

"I..I'm glad you shared this with me. I somehow felt like Earth was a part of me in someway and now I know why." Adam smiled with joy in his eyes.

His parents smiled happily in return. Marlena then turned to her husband. "Darling would it be alright if I spend some time alone with Adam and the Rainbow explorer?"

"Of course my dear we will be holding a great dinner in the honour of the Guardians I will see you in the dining room shortly." Randor smiled as he pecked his wife on the cheek and left the room. This left Marlena and Adam completely alone.

"So I guess this is why you looked so interested in mine and the girls stories?" Adam asked.

"Yes, and believe it or not I actually used to live in Heatherfield growing up before I joined NASA." Marlena said.

"You know my name on Earth is Adam Gray but… I guess by birth my real Earth name would've been Adam Glenn." Adam then realised.

"Oh I don't know I think Adam Gray suits you." Marlena said before she sighed. "Besides as far as the people of Earth are concerned Marlena Glenn disappeared a long time ago."

"Do you ever miss it. I mean life on Earth?" Adam curiously asked.

"At times yes, but my home is here on Eternia with you and your father, though there are times when this royal life can seem a little quiet compared to my days as a space pilot." Marlena said.

"Maybe one day I could bring you to Earth to see how much has changed." Adam smiled. "But heres a tip don't bring a green tiger and a small wizard unless you want to be nearly arrested by the local police."

Marlena couldn't help but giggle at her sons attempt at humour. "But on a new note, there's something that I've been thinking about mother."

"Oh whats that Adam?" His mother asked.

"Well, its just when me and the girls were sneaking off to rescue Will. Why did you let us go instead of stopping us given the danger?" Adam said. In truth this whole thing had been on his mind since they left.

"Your my son Adam, I knew you would never leave a friend to torment and death, and despite the other girls lacking in the power from the crystal. I had a…feeling you would know what to do." She said that last line in a hinting sort of way which got Adam confused, but when he looked into his mothers eye it was a knowing look. Then his eyes widened as it dawned on him.

"Wait…y…you know?!" He breathed in shock. "H..How…"

"Adam, a mother can tell these things especially when she looks into the eyes of her son, and what he is capable of doing." Marlena smiled knowingly but she saw her son looked rather worried at what she now knew. "Oh don't worry your secrets safe with me."

This did bring some relief to the Eternian prince, and he honestly didn't expect this sort of reaction knowing his mother the queen no less, knew his secret as He-Man. However there was still a twinge of guilt in him.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you or Dad about He-Man. I..I didn't want you to worry, and if word got out I…" Just then Marlena placed a loving comforting hand on her sons shoulder.

"I did worry, and I can't help that it's a mothers job. But at the same time I am so proud of you, and I always have been." Marlena said softly this put a warming smile on Adams face hearing the words he's been wanting to hear for a long time.

Later Adam was walking through the castle halls with Cringer thinking about things, just then he heard the sound of girls laughter. Turning a corner he saw Teela and the girls of WITCH talking and laughing in the courtyard.

"Hey does Adam still do that thing where he shows off with his sword during training?" Teela asked them.

"All the time!" Cornelia breathed realising thats what he did when he was training them.

"Yeah he can be a bit of a show off at times." Irma teased.

"At times?" Teela chuckled. "You clearly haven't seen him fall off a hover board during jousting training." The girls did giggle at that joke and just at that moment Adam and Cringer came over.

"Hey what are you guys talking about?" Adam asked.

"Oh h..hey Adam." Will tried to stifle her laughter but like the other girls she couldn't.

"Whats so funny?" Cringer asked but looking at their giggling Adam suspected something was up.

"Wait this isn't about me and a mishap with my hover board would it?" Adam asked suspiciously.

"Oh pft oh no..no." Taranee tried but in the end the girls just couldn't hold in their laughter any longer and just laughed out loud.

Adam would've been embarrassed but he was just glad to see his friends finally bonding. "Well glad to see you guys hit it off."

"Yeah they did have some stories to share." Teela stifled back a laugh but then turned to an honest look. "Sounds like you really had an impact on them."

"Yeah and them me." Adam smiled.

"So I saw, but just be careful of changing Adam, if you change too much I might not recognise you." Teela teased with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh I don't know maybe you'll like the new me." Adam teased back and the girls just couldn't help but see the interactions between the Prince and the Captain of the Guard.

From afar they were being observed by King Randor and he couldn't help but look at his son with a proud smile. "You must be proud of him." Miss Lin then stood next to him.

"I am, and I've come to realise that you were right Miss Lin." Randor said to her. "Perhaps for now Adam needs to figure out his own path to being King."

"Maybe not worry too much about that your majesty." Miss Lin then said. "The future will take care of itself sometimes we must let the chips fall where they may."

"Ancient Grandma wisdom." Randor joked.

"No, experience." Miss Lin smiled as she gazed out to Adam, Teela and the girls all bonding and this did bring back fond memories of her team all the good times they had together in a way she saw them in the girls place. She just hoped that Adams presence and encouragement would prevent them going down the path her team did.

Castle Grayskull:

As night was beginning to fall Adam, Orko, Caleb, Blunk, Yan Lin, Cringer and the girls were all summoned to Castle Grayskull where they stood in the main hall. The prince had just finished telling them, The Sorceress and Man At Arms what his mother had told him.

"Wow so your mother was from Earth!" Hay Lin exclaimed in amazement.

"Yeah she is." Adam bashfully admitted.

"Wow thats big!" Will said amazed.

"So what do you mean your mom knows like knows knows?" Irma asked.

"Yep knows knows." Adam nodded. "I was just as surprised as you guys."

"Heh a mother knows all." Yan Lin mused. "Even the royal ones."

"But Adam aren't you worried she might tell your dad that your He-Man?" Caleb then asked in some concern.

"No she promised she'd keep it a secret, and my mother always keeps her promises." Adam assured the rebel leader.

"Yeah Caleb besides she's a queen she can keep a secret." Cornelia agreed.

While everyone was talking Will was gazing at the Heart of Kandrakar, in some wonderment, something that was picked up by Orko as he floated close. "Hey you okay Will?" He asked.

Will was brought to attention, which prompted everyone to look in her direction. "Something wrong Will?" Adam asked.

"Oh nothing its just…I still can't believe we did what we did, and now we have the Power of Grayskull?!" Will explained. "But just how was that even possible?"

"Because the Heart of Kandrakar is capable of absorbing different magics, be it potions, spells or talismans." The Sorceress explained. "But when Adam summoned the power it called out to the inner power that lies in each of your Auremeres."

"Aurawhat?" Irma asked.

"An Auremere is the source of a Guardians power, each containing the magical essence of your elemental abilities which are connected to all of you." Yan Lin explained.

"But I thought the Heart was the source of our power?" Taranee wondered.

"As the Sword of Power acts as the conduit for the power to be channeled through, the Heart of Kandrakar acts as a receiver for the Auremeres power to transmit their energies to all of you." The Sorceress explained.

"Wow." Hay Lin breathed amazed.

"But that still doesn't solve the mystery of how the sword and the Heart can lock into each other or how Adam was able to share the power with us?" Cornelia asked.

"Because, the crystal actually had an important part in the very creation of the Sword itself." The Sorceress then shared which put a look of shock and amazement on everyones faces.

"WHAT!" They exclaimed.

"W..wait that that small crystal helped make He-Mans sword?!" Orko gasped.

"But…but how?" Adam asked even more curious than before.

"That is a story for another time." The Sorceress smiled.

"Okay but we have the power now, so what do we do with it?" Will asked.

"Well I know Phobos is gonna be in for a whole load of headaches from now on!" Irma pumped her fist in the air.

The Sorceress and Man At Arms looked at each other with the same serious look as she addressed the girls. "What you choose to do with the power is up to you to decide and discover, but it can only be done while the Heart is in convergence with the Sword. However do not use it unless you have to."

"Why?" Cornelia asked.

"Yeah this is gonna make defeating Phobos a whole lot easier." Hay Lin agreed.

"True victory is earned Hay Lin not given." Yan Lin explained.

"Yes and if Phobos were to learn of this it would only further prompt his advances to cease the crystal from you by any means necessary." Man At Arms agreed.

This did raise awareness among the girls, they already saw how Skeletor was obsessed in his trying to capture the Castle and seize the power of Eternia's Elders. If Phobos learned they had said power it could make him try and take that power from them even in their sleep if he so desired.

"So only use the Power when we need it." Will realised. "I guess we can get behind that."

"The powers a great burden guys, so I guess I'd better train you guys on how to properly use it." Adam suggested.

"You got it teach." Irma gave a two fingered salute to the young prince of Eternia who smiled back in return.

Later that Night:

The Sorceress now stood alone in the halls of the mystic fortress, her vigil was ever lasting be it day or night. However in the silence a glow came from her all seeing mirror in the main hall. She flew over to it and with a wave of her hand the mirror showed five certain individuals in a certain fortress.

"Greetings Council of Kandrakar." Sorceress addressed in respect.

"Teela Na guardian of Grayskull it has been too long old friend." The bald man greeted.

"Yes, though I suspect I know what this sudden summoning is about." The Sorceress suspected.

"Indeed we called this summoning as we require answers." The blonde woman said.

"Regarding recent events." The Sorceress said with a mutual look.

"Such as how you foolishly allowed your champion to mix the power of two mystical hearts!" The cat person said very displeased. "Do you realise the dangerous consequences it could have left to it could've compromised the Auremeres or worse weaken the veil between worlds!"

"Luba calm yourself yes this was a dangerous risk, but I'm sure Teela Na has an explanation for this." The bearded one explained.

The Sorceress knew this conversation would come sooner later and not just about the mixing of two hearts but other things besides. She took a breath and addressed the robed individuals.

"Council I am fully aware of this, but with Grayskull in jeopardy I felt I had no other choice." Sorceress explained. "But the hearts of both Kandrakar and Eternia have always inextricably connected and you know fully well why."

The council did muse at what the Sorceress was saying and it was true they did know why. "Yes given the former master of the fortress you protect used it to forge that sword to handle the mystic energies of the universe. So there was no risk to either Hearts." The Bald man said but he did have something on his mind. "However I do wonder why did you send your champion to assist the new Guardians without consulting us?"

"Indeed Oracle." The Sorceress addressed the bald man who is known as the Oracle. "I fear there is something at work beyond the conflict in Meridian, something has set in motion forces we do not fully understand , forces that are causing our two worlds to collide." The council listened to the Sorceress's every word and taking in all that she was describing. "Which is why I feel the gift my champion has bestowed onto the chosen ones may aid them in the trials yet to come."

"Be that as it may, the use of the heart of Eternia in convergence with the Heart of Kandrakar could be a danger. It's true the Auremeres powers are deepened due to us raising the veil but the introduction of this new power could still compromise that but its power is equal to that of the central power of Quintessence." The cat person known as Luba explained. "This power could prove corruptive and we have all seen before how that kind of power can be abused if left unchecked it could damage their connection to Kandrakar."

"You all raise valid arguements and should it come to that we will intervene, but I must agree with Teela Na's council." The Oracle assured. "If there is something at work perhaps the combined powers could be of aid to them."

"Indeed I do understand your concerns, but I am confident with Prince Adam's guidance, support and emotional encouragement they will learn to use their powers and not be corrupted by it." The Sorceress said to them. "They will learn much from each other and together they will over come many obstacles in the path that lies ahead of them."

"You are sure of this?" The short individual asked.

"I am. For to know ones true self, is to truly become. A Master of the Universe." She smiled.

Moral:

In the courtyard of the Royal Palace, Adam was with the girls of W.I.T.C.H training them in their powers while Teela watched with interest. Watching them from afar was Yan Lin and Orko.

"Underestimating ones abilities can often become our own downfall. The Masters and Teela saw the girls outside their Guardian forms and only saw children instead of great warriors like them." Yan Lin said speaking to the fourth wall. "But as they later learned despite ones age or even questioning their abilities they can surprise us in ways we can never begin to imagine and we become foolish for ever underestimating them."

"Yeah thats right!" Orko then said. "People like Man At Arms can sometimes underestimate my talents but when you get right down to it I can show them how truly great I am!" He stood in a super hero pose.

"Thats right Orko." Yan Lin smiled as she turned to the fourth wall. "So never let someone put you down and show them what you can truly do, and they will see how wrong they were for underestimating you."

"Until next time."

Authors Notes: A...nd scene! And that concludes the three parter return to Eternia, its been one awesome set of chapters for this story and now the Masters have learned their lesson of underestimating ones abilities. Plus Teela and the girls have started to bond over gossiping about Adam and other things. But also the girls have got one heck of a power upgrade of the Grayskull kind, and the powered up forms you can expect to see on my Deviantart page very soon! And we have another part of the mystery between the Heart and the Sword, the crystal had a part to play in the swords creation. That is a story for a later chapter.

Now theres one more chapter that takes place in Eternia before W.I.T.C.H and Adam return to Earth one of the cannon episodes of He-Man season two where lets just say Teela arrives in a blast from her past but not her past a certain someones. On that note to answer Ironchef13's question no the Snakemen will not be in this story they're antagonists for the season 2 arc of W.I.T.C.H (still developing ideas)

But for now until next time.

BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!
