Hello before we start, some answers for some questions from Flieev211. 1, I'll probably add the dragons as part of my plans for an OC season 4 , since it ended with a cliffhanger and I want to change that. 2, I've seen bits and pieces of the other He-Man Show, but never got around to bringing them. and 3, the answers I created the body and part of them, but when the stories over, they won't be alone or a threat to just this world, if you want to understand, remember that dark purple energy slug from Chapter 0, well it's was born at the end of my Kipo story, so read the last few chapters of my Kipo story to see what kind of villain is growing.
Now let's start Lesson 3
Lesson 3
The Lessons That Comes From The Power Of Grayskull
The Canyon
As the sun rose overhead, Duncan was fixing the ship, while Adam and Keldor talked, all the while everyone else gave Keldor and Volcarona a curious look.
"Uh, okay, okay. So thai goes there. Where's I put that? Right, okay. Um, tighten thai a little bit and, um, okay, uh, engine's just about ready. Kinda helped that we aren't getting shot at anymore." Duncan said to everyone, as he was working on the engines.
"And for that, we have our new traveling companions to thank." Cringer said to Duncan, as Duncan came down, and they all looked at Keldor and Volcarona. "Is Uncle "Convenient" and his Pokemon there gonna to ride with us?" Duncan asked everyone.
"I'm happy to hear we aren't the only ones that think Keldor and Volcarona's suspicious." Teela said to everyone. "Keldor's weapon does bear the same crest as Adam's sword, does it not?" Cringer asked Teela.
"Evelyn had me track down a lot of grayskull artifacts. Not a single one had whatever that green stuff is." Teela said to Cringer.
"And does anyone else have a bad feeling about that green stuff?" Mayu asked everyone. "We do." Abra said to Mayu, as the Pokemon all nodded yes.
"Well, Adam is clever. If something is amiss, I'm sure he'll feel it." Cringer said to everyone. "Not if his questions of his past cloud his senses." Gible said to everyone.
Meanwhile Dr. Michael, Kronis, Evelyn, Magneton, and Misdreavus were watching everyone from atop the canyon, staying out of sight.
"Why isn't Keldor and Volcarona just wiping the floor with them and taking the Sword?" Kronis asked everyone. "He doesn't want to scare the boy or his Pokemon into their muscle-bound alter egos before Keldor can get his hands on the sword." Evelyn said to Kronis.
"And we think we can trust him once he does?" Kronis asked everyone. "Of course not." Misdreavus said to Kronis. "If we can't, then we'll simply pry it from his cold, dead, bony hand." Evelyn said to Kronis.
"What about you Michael?" Magneton asked Dr. Micheal. "You may refer to us as Dr. Micheal, not Micheal. And as long as I get that scepter in the end, you all can do whatever you want with Keldor." Dr. Micheal said to everyone, before looking through some binoculars.
Looking down, Dr. Micheal noticed Keldor pulling a surprised Adam into a hug, and then noticed Mayu watching this with a suspicious look on her face.
"Well, well, well. Evolife is here. No, she doesn't matter to me anymore. Agreed. I'm working on it, woman." Dr. Micheal said, talking to himself, causing everyone to give them an odd look.
"Where did Keldor and Volcarona find this nut case?" Kronis asked everyone. "We heard that!" Dr Micheal said to Kronis.
Don't below, Keldor was still hugging Adam and patting Adam's head. "Apologies, nephew, this is a reunion that is long overdue." Keldor said to Adam, before Adam pushed him away.
"Not to be ungrateful, but where have you been? Why hasn't anyone come looking for me?" Adam asked Keldor.
"You don't remember what happened?" Keldor asked Adam, a curious look on his face. "I don't remember anything before the jungle. Nothing about you. Nothing about myself, even." Adam said to Keldor, before he looked away, and put his hands on his hips.
"How… unfortunate." Volcarona said to Adam, as he and Keldor gave each other a happy look. "But probably for the best, things got pretty bad last time we saw you. But I must admit, I'm surprised that no one came looking for you." Volcarona said to Adam.
"Why are you surprised by that?" Adam asked Volcarona, turning to them. "Adam, my brother, your father, he's the King of all Eternos." Keldor said to Adam, putting a hand on Adam's shoulder.
But Adam didn't believe him, and started laughing. "Me, a Prince? Trotting around in what? White tights with a silly haircut?" Adam asked Keldor, acting silly, before laughing again.
But when he noticed a serious look on Keldor and Volcarona's faces. "You're being serious." Adam said to Keldor, with a shocked look on his face.
"This is good news, boy. You're a prince, as am I. we're sons of the House of Randor. The Heirs of Grayskull. It is a responsibility you were literally born to handle." Keldor said to Adam.
"Is that why the sword woke up when I held it the first time?" Adam asked Keldor, as he pulled out his sword, making Keldor smile at it.
"Grayskull's secrets have been entrusted to the royal bloodline for a millennium. We are meant to use its power to rule this land as we see fit." Keldor said to Adam.
"I don't- I don't want to rule." Adam said to Keldor. "And why would you? No child need bear the burden of this power alone." Keldor said to Adam.
"There's not much burden anymore. It ran out of juice the first time I used it." Adam said to Keldor, as she put the sword down, surprising Keldor.
"So you or your Pokemon can't change then?" Keldor asked Adam, surprising Adam. "How did you know me and Gible can change?" Adam asked Keldor. "The pair of sociopaths with the rocket launcher told me." Keldor said to Adam, as he took the sword, and pulled out his scepter.
"Uncle?" Adam asked, before he got blasted by a pulse of Havoc energy. This suspied everyone, as they saw Adam rolling back to them.
"Adam!" Krass said, as she ran to him. "Called it." Teela said as she charged at Keldor and Volcarona. "Like that matters now!" Gible said to Teela, as he, Meditite, and Bagon followed the girls.
"Adam!" Krass said, as she shocked and unconscious Adam, as a little bit of green electricity came off him. "I'm gonna go get the med pack." Krass said to everyone, as she ran into the Wind Raider, while everyone else got ready for a fight.
"Hurricane!" Volcarona said, as he let out a massive surge of green wind that blew everyone back to the ship, and broke their fighting stance.
"You may explode them now." Keldor said, turning his head up, making everyone look up to see Dr. Michael, Kronis, Evelyn, Magneton, and Misdreavus above them, with Kronis holding some kind of rocket launcher that looked like it was made out of junk.
Kronis then fired a rocket at everyone, and acting on instinct, Teela used her magic to make the rocket go up. But she didn't notice that this caused the rocket to hit a stone arch, causing the arch to fall down on them.
"Oops!" Teela said, as the rocks fell around them, with Keldor and Volcarona being just outside the area where the rocks were falling.
Keldor held up the sword, and turned away from the rock, and a massive dust cloud it was creating. "Onward to Grayskull." Keldor said, as his eyes glowed red again.
Meanwhile inside, Adam started to wake up from the hit he took, and Teela's voice was the only thing he could hear. "Adam? Adam, wake up." Teela said to Adam.
"Teela? Did we make it out?" Adam asked, as he started to get up. "Not quite." Teela said to Adam, as Adam opened his eyes, and saw Teela holding up all the rock above them with a magic barrier, with a large pile of rocks blocking the way into the Wind Raider.
"Oh, man. How much rocks is that?" Adam asked Teela. "I don't know. All of it? All of the rocks ever?" Teela said to Adam, as the rocks let out a low rumble and started to come down on them. So this caused Teela to reinforce the barrier, making the rumbling stop.
"Magic has its limits, and I'm about to hit mine. We need a way out, fast!" Teela said to everyone.
"Gible?! Can't you Dig us out here?" Meditite asked Gible. "I don't know Dig. If I dig out of here, I'm the only one who will get out of here. Plus, we're not all here!" Gible said to Meditite, making Adam notice Mayu, Krass, Cringer, Duncan, and their Pokemon, minus Bagon, where missing.
"Krass? Cringer? Heracross? Mayu? Abra?" Adam said, calling out for them. "It's just me in here." Krass said, making Adam turn to the Wind Raider.
Adam then climbs up the rocks, moving closer to the Wind Raider's door. "Krass, are you okay?" Adam asked Krass, as he reached the door.
Inside, Krass was freaking out, and hugging her legs. "I was wearing my helmet, so of course I'm okay." Krass said to Adam.
Outside, Adam knew that she was physically right, but not mentally. "You know what I mean." Adam said to Krass, a worried look on his face.
"Sure, I'm great. There's plenty of room in here under tons of rocks with air running out." Krass said to Adam, as she looked around, and breathed very heavily.
"Hey, easy. We've got plenty of air down here, right, Teela?" Adam said to Krass, and asked Teela, as he turned to Teela. "Not unless you grabbed extra while your uncle was burying us alive." Teela said to Adam.
"What did- What'd she say?" Krass everyone, freaking out even more, as the rocks started to move again, putting a lot of pressure on Teela.
"We need to get out of here before we're crushed!" Meditite said to everyone. "Krass, I'm thinking maybe we're on our way into you. Then we'll figure a way out together. I promise." Adam said to Krass, as he started to clear the rocks out of the way.
This caused a few rocks to roll near to the Pokemon, making the Pokemon jump away. "He has a point. It's someone safer in there then out here!" Meditite said to Gible and Bagon, as they all worked clearing the door to the Wind Raider.
"You all better hurry. These rocks aren't gonna stay floating on their own." Teela said to everyone. "I'll get us in. just hold on a little bit longer." Adam said to Teela. "Easy for you to say." Teela said to Adam.
Outside the rocks, Cringer, Mayu, Duncan, and their Pokemon were okay, they managed to get clear of the rocks before they fell on everyone.
"From the sounds of things, we don't have much time." Cringer said to everyone, after getting close to rocks, and heard everyone walking.
"Please tell me you have a way to get us down to them." Cringer asked Duncan, as he moved closer to Duncan. "Without any anti-grav or an earth mover?" Duncan asked Cringer.
"Why don't you have any anti-grav or earth mover?" Cringer asked Duncan, getting into Duncan's space. "Uh, because they wouldn't fit in my backpack?" Duncan said to Cringer, making a joke, as Cringer walked away. "What's a backpack?" Cringer asked Duncan.
"Seriously? How do you not know that?" Abra asked Cringer. "Cringer, he's saying this anti-grav and earth mover are probably heavy machines, something we won't have on us." Mayu said to Cringer, as Duncan sat on a metal box full of tools that he and the others were putting away before all this happened.
"Yeah, if we want to help them, we need heavy equipment, but we don't have any heavy equipment." Beldum said to Cringer.
"Actually, we might have some heavy equipment. I have an idea." Duncan said to everyone, before he stood up.
Duncan then opened the box he was sitting on. "All right, I know we had it in there somewhere. Where is it?" Duncan said, as he dug through the box, earning an odd look from everyone.
"Aha!" Duncan said, as he pulled out a remote controller. "I might be able to make do with this. If we can restart the ship remotely, the force of the blast should clear the rocks away. I just need a space big enough to be able to bounce the signal down." Duncan said to everyone, as he opened the remote controller and started to work on it.
But that's when the rock rumbled a little, and everyone noticed the large amount of rocks over the Wind Raider. "Easier said than done. We don't exactly have the muscle to move those rocks out of the way." Beldum said to Duncan.
"Actually, we do have some muscle." Mayu said to Beldum, as everyone looked at Cringer and Heracross. "How do you two feel about digging?" Duncan asked Cringer and Heracross.
"Easier said than done." Cringer said to Duncan, looking at his paws. "Yeah, we don't have the tools we used to." Heracross said, rubbing his horn.
Looking at them, Duncan smiled. "I can work with that too." Duncan said to Cringer and Heracross, making Cringer and Heracross look at him odd.
The Sky
Meanwhile, Keldor, Dr. Michael, Kronis, Evelyn, Volcarona, Magneton, and Misdreavus were flying through the sky in the vehicles they stole from the outpost, with Keldor behind everyone.
"I'm gonna have to find a new apprentice, you know." Kronis said to Evelyn. "Fortunately for you, the vocational orphanages have no shortage of strays." Evelyn said to Kronis. "I'm gone for a decade, and here the two of you are, planning a family. I fully expected you to have turned on each other by now." Keldor said to everyone.
"I would advise against getting a kid. Trust us, children do nothing but cause trouble." Dr. Michael said to everyone. "Noted. But I have to ask. Prince Keldor, why not fly ahead of us since you know the way?" Evelyn said to Dr. Michael and asked Keldor.
"Because… I don't trust you." Keldor said to Evelyn. "We don't trust you that much either." Kronis said to Keldor. "Good. at least you're smarter than you were ten years ago." Keldor said to everyone.
"Yes, now you're just idiots, not complete idiots." Volcarona said to everyone. "I almost forgot how much of a headache you two are." Misdreavus said to Keldor and Volcarona.
"Enough. We need to change course, we're nearly there." Keldor said, as he and Volcarona flew away at high speed and into a storm, surprising everyone before they followed him.
The Canyon
Back in the canyon, small rocks started to fall through Teela's barrier, while the barrier started to shrink a little. This caused Adam, Gible, Bagon, and Meditite to work faster.
"Adam?" Krass asked Adam from the inside. "Yeah, Krass?" Adam asked Krass, stop digging, and placed his hands on the door.
"Please tell me this isn't just like when I crashed." Krass asked Adam, as she stood up inside. But then the Wind Raider shook, as she sat down again. "Because this feels just like when I crashed." Krass said to Adam, as she hugged her legs again.
Hearing Krass say that, made Adam, Gible, and Bagon work harder to free her, while it confused Teela and Meditite.
"Just stay calm." Adam said to Krass. "Yeah, this isn't as bad as before, and we got you out of that time. So just breathe and don't worry." Gible said to Krass.
"What are you all talking about?" Meditite asked everyone. "Yeah, what crash?" Teela asked everyone. "The one where she lost her parents. It took the tribe three days to free her from the wreckage." Adam said to Teela and Meditite. "She was the only survivor." Bagon said to Teela and Meditite.
"How did she survive?" Teela asked everyone. "She was wearing her dad's helmet." Adam said to Teela, as Krass tightened the strap on her helmet.
Outside of the rocks, Duncan made Cringer some new metal claws that covered his paws like they were metal gloves, and Heracross a new tip of his horn that looked like a jackhammer that had a shovel tip with a V cut out of the top of it.
"Remarkable." Cringer said, as he and Heracross looked at their new claws and horn. "These are amazing." Heracross said to everyone. "Best I could do on short notice." Duncan said to Cringer and Heracross, as they all got to work with Mayu and Abra just watching.
Climbing the rocks, Cringer and Heracorss got to work on a weak spot.
"I can only imagine what wonders you might be able to forge, had you the time…" Cringer said to Duncan, as he used his claws to toss a massive rock away. "And resources." Cringer said to Duncan.
That's when Heracross rammed his new horn into a large rock, puncture hit. Then with a twist of his head, he sent the rock flying away.
"You could probably change the world." Heracross said to Duncan, before reaching up and pulling a hiding cord in his horn, making his horn rumble a little, as the shove tip moved up and down a little at a fast pass, before jamming his horn into the hole he and Cringer were making.
"Well, Kronis didn't let me to far off the leash, so who knows." Duncan said to Cringer and Heracross, before suddenly stopping. "Wait, wait a minute. Was that offensive? The leash thing? That was probably offe- I offended you." Duncan said to Cringer, as he turned to Cringer with a worried look on his face.
"Okay, after I just gave back your claws. Hey, I'm a nice guy, right?" Duncan asked Cringer. "You really need to stop talking." Beldum said to Duncan. "Friend, if I wanted to eat you, I wouldn't need my claws to do so." Cringer said to Duncan.
"Boys! Can we focus on saving our friends' lives!?" Mayu asked everyone. "Oh right." Duncan said, before everyone got back to work.
After a bit, Duncan finished what he needed to do with the remote control, and Heracross and cringer managed to reach the barrier Teela set up.
"Is this enough of an air pocket to bounce your signale down to the ship?" Cringer asked Duncan, as Duncan came up to inspect the hole, and saw the barrier. "Should be just enough." Duncan said to everyone.
"All right, let's get some cover. Once those jets go off, we don't want to be anywhere near them." Duncan said to everyone, as he led everyone a good distance away from the pile of rocks.
Then as he got ready to press the button on the remote controller, Cringer raised a paw and stopped Duncan. "You may want to consider warning our allies first." Cringer said to Duncan. "Oh, right, sorry. This is my first rescue." Duncan said to Cringer. "We kinda figure that." Mayu said to Duncan.
The Sky
Meanwhile, Dr. Michael, Kronis, Evelyn, Magneton, and Misdreavus landed on a floating landmass that was nothing but a flat rock, with a monument that looked like a gate and podium covered in ice at one of the ends.
And standing past the monument and before the podium was Keldor and Volcarona, both of them looking serious.
"Prince Keldor, it's magnificent. Kronis, Dr. Michael, Evelyn, Magneton, and Misdreavus, don't you agree?" Evelyn asked everyone, as they all landed behind Keldor and Volcarona and walked up to them.
"Roomier than I thought." Kronis said to everyone. "I don't care." Dr. Michael said to everyone. "You gotta be kidding. There's nothing here." Magneton said to Keldor and Volcarona. "You better have a good reason for us to be here?" Misdreavus asked Keldor and Volcarona.
"Will you all be quiet! Just sit there and watch." Volcarona said to everyone. "Thank you Volcarona." Keldor said to Volcarona, as he pulled out the sword, and walked to the podium, with Volcarona following.
Thai confused everyone, but they followed Keldor and Volcarona. "The castle's blasted Guardians swore I'd never be able to find it again." Keldor said to everyone, before he stood before the podium and smirked.
"This proves the joke's on them." Keldor said, before jamming the sword into the podium, breaking the ice as the sword slid into place, like a key into a lock. Then Keldor turned the sword, making the podium light up.
That's when electricity started to crackle, from the sword, and the podium turned even more and went into the ground until the sword was the only thing sticking out. That's when the monument formed a ball of light that made the winds around them spin, surprising everyone but Keldor and Volcarona.
Then with a burst of light. And stone hexagons then came from below forming a bridge, as the light moved across it. Then in a flash the energy faded away, and the castle that appeared behind Adam and in the fire Teela cast her magic, came down from above before everyone.
"Honey, I'm home!" Keldor said to the castle, holding out his arms.
The Canyon
Back in the canyon, Teela was reaching her limit. "Adam, Meditite, Bagon, Gible, do something!" Teela said to everyone. "We're trying!" Adam said to Teela, as they finished clearing the Wind Raider door, and tried to force it open.
But the rocks falling from the ceiling, hit a rock, and made a rock fall towards everyone. This caused Adam, Meditite, Bagon, and Gible to stop their work on the door, and push on the rock so it won't crush them, but the rock was too heavy for them to push it off them.
"Krass, we can hold this rock for maybe another few seconds, but we can't move forward without dropping it." Adam said to Krass. "Then how am I supposed to get the door open?" Krass asked everyone, freaking out a little.
"Ram it!" Everyone said to Krass at the same time, scaring Krass.
"Hey guys, this is Duncan. Um, I'm turning on the engines now, so please make sure you're inside the ship so you don't explode along with the rocks. Not now now, but in a few seconds." Duncan said to everyone, his voice coming from the Wind Raider, causing Krass to stand up, while everyone outside the Wind Raider were struggling.
"Just do it Duncan! That pile of rocks is getting smaller, they're probably getting crushed in there." Mayu said to Duncan over the speaker. "Oh, right. I hope you're in position." Duncan said to everyone.
Hearing all of this, helped Krass get over her fears, and she got ready to ram the door open.
"Three…. Two… one." Duncan said, before Krass shouted and ran towards the door.
Outside, Duncan took a couple more seconds before he pressed the button on his remote control. This caused the Wind Raider's engines to hum.
Inside the rocks, with the engine on, it gave Teela the opportunity to drop the barrier and run towards the Wind Raider, while Krass did manage to get the door open and force the rock off Adam, Meditite, Bagon, and Gible. Then at the last second, everyone ran into the Wind Raider.
Outside they see a blinding light coming from the rocks, before an explosion happened, forcing everyone down to the ground. When they raised their heads up, they saw the Wind Raider was okay and working. But that's when the Wind Raider started to move and turn to them.
"Turn it off." Cringer said to Duncan, as he knew what the Wind Raider was about to do.
When it started to move towards everyone, they knew what was about to happen. And watching the Wind Raider, Duncan was missing the off button, as he kept doing a press button motion without any clue of where he was aiming.
"Turn it off!" Cringer said to Duncan, as Mayu looked at Duncan, and saw him missing the button wildly. "Oh for the love of-." Mayu said, before pressing the off button herself.
This caused the engine of the Wind raider to whirred down, and grind to a stop right before it could hit them, and causing Adam, Teela, Krass, Gible, Meditite, and Bagon to be sent flying into the window at the front of the Wind Raider.
"We did it!" Duncan yelled, those with him cheered, and the others groaned in pain after forcing a yay.
The Sky
After a bit of dusting off and recovering from all that, everyone got into the Wind Raider and Duncan was flying it towards Grayskull. "Duncan, how far until Grayskull?" Adam asked Duncan, as everyone sat together on some boxes.
"Assuming your uncle parked those sky sleds I've been tracking out front, we're pretty close." Duncan said to Adam, looking at a scanner.
"What did Evelyn want to do with the sword?" Adam asked Teela. "Get revenge on King Randor." Teela said to adam.
"Why?" Mayu asked Teela. "Evelyn and Kronis used to work for King Randor, but they betrayed him and failed, so they lost everything, and the only thing they have left is their grudge towards Randor." Beldum said to Mayu.
"Could Keldor be a part of their little group?" Mayu asked everyone. "Nope. We've known them for a while and we've never met Keldor before. If we did, we would have warned you all." Meditite said to Mayu.
"Actually I think he was. From the way he was talking, I think he wants to become king, they must have been working together before, they help him become King, and they get whatever they want. And seeing as how he just buried a bunch of kids alive, I don't think he'll make a very good one. We need to hurry." Adam said to everyone.
"We're going as fast as we can, for now, relax, Adam. You need to recover a little from what just happened to you all." Mayu said to Adam, standing up, and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Everybody- even you, Witchy and Shrimpy, I'm so sorry I couldn't "ram up" and get us out of there sooner." Krass said to everyone. "Hey, I'm the one that messed up and let Keldor get the sword." Adam said to Krass. "I knocked the rocket off course and got us buried." Teela said to Krass.
"My boss fired that rocket, so…" Duncan said to Krass. "When it mattered, I believe we all rammed up just fine." Cringer said to Krass. "Minus me. But I think my role was keeping a cool head in this situation." Mayu said to everyone, as everyone started to feel better after everything that happened.
Castle Grayskull
As the night sky covered the sky, Duncan landed the Wind Raider a little before the monument. And everyone exited the Wind Raider in caution, as they looked around at all the thick fog around them.
As they moved closer to the castle, the fog cleared, and everyone saw Castle Grayskull, with the entrance being an open mouth with blue energy at the back of mouth that looked like it was from a clear, stary, night sky, with stairs for a tongue.
"Castle Grayskull." Adam said, as everyone looked at the caste in their own way of impressed. Teela then ran ahead of everyone, and up onto the first few stairs. And after taking a few steps, Teela started to feel something, as everyone walked up to her.
'When you dreamed about this place, was it this intimidating?" Duncan asked Teela. "Absolutely." Teela said to Duncan, as they started to walk up the stairs.
Everyone stopped right before the energy. "Behind this gate lies great power. We must approach with caution." Teela said to everyone, as she brushed her hand on the energy like it was water.
But ignoring her, Adam just walked into the energy, disappearing, surprising everyone. "Adam!" Krass said, panic in her voice, before she ran into it. "Wait up." Gible, Bagon, Duncan, Cirnger, Beldum, and Heracross said, as they ran into the energy.
Thai caused Teela to turn to Mayu, Abra, and Meditite. "Don't look at me. It's not my fault they don't know what caution means." Mayu said to Teela, making Teela groan, before she and Mayu entered the energy, with Teela lowering her head in disappointment.
"Why do I get the feeling our partners are the only ones with brains?" Meditite asked Abra. "So it's not just me then." Abra said to Meditite, before they entered the energy.
Inside everyone was stunned by the massive size of the inside, it was much bigger than the outside, making everyone feel like ants.
"Did we just come in or out?" Adam asked everyone. "I honestly have no idea." Mayu said to everyone, as they started to walk deeper into the castle, taking in the sights, while walking on the paths covered in hexagons.
"Should we split up?" Krass asked everyone, a little bit intimidated by the side of the place. "No." Everyone said to Krass, causing their voice to echo all over the place.
"I guess they know we're coming now." Krass said to everyone. "If they're even still here. How do we know where they went once they came inside?" Duncan asked everyone.
"I think we follow the trail of breadcrumbs they left behind." Teela said everyone, before casting a spell, making a ball of energy that led the way for everyone.
Following the ball of energy, they found themselves in front of a statue that was smashed to pieces very recently. Having a feeling about this, Teela caused a spell making energy copies of the pieces float up and reforged the statue.
The statue was of a tall and beautiful woman, wearing armor and holding a staff that looked like a bird with its wings out.
And with her was a large round creature with most of its body covered in bumps, with the front being a massive mouth with a single roll of teeth at the bottom of it, four large spikes that would be pointing to the corners if it was a square, the top of it being smooth with its face hanging off it a little, a large spike above its eyes, and a small roll of teeth below it's eyes.
"Who were they?" Adam asked Teela, as everyone looked at the image of the statue. "I don't know the woman, but I know the Pokemon was a Mega Glalie." Mayu said to Adam.
"They're the guardians of this place." Teela said to everyone. "The voice in your head?" Adam asked Teela. "The woman at least." Teela said to Adam, as she stopped her spell and the statue disappeared.
Then Teela's ball of energy flew down to a staff buried in the rubble of the statue. Teela dug the staff out of the rubble, revealing it to be a white simple staff, with a light blue diamond shaped gem at the top.
"I think this was hers too." Teela said to everyone, as her spell entered the staff and made the gem glow. "It would appear it belongs to you now, Teela." Cringer said to Teela.
"Ah Teela, are you doing that?" Mayu asked Teela, pointing at her feet, making everyone look down to see the hexagons under her feet glowed light blue. Then more hexagons light up, telling everyone which way to go.
"It wants us to go this way." Teela said to everyone. "Let's go find out why." Adam said to everyone, as he started to walk with Teela, Cringer, and their pokemon following him.
"They say that like talking weapons is a thing." Duncan said to everyone. "It is now, I guess." Krass said to Duncan. "This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder." Mayu said to everyone, before they started to walk.
The hexagons lead everyone to a massive chamber with yellow lines all over the place and a storm cloud above them, and a bottomless pit in the middle of the chamber.
"What is this place?" Cringer asked everyone. "No idea, but it feels important/powerful." Mayu said to Cringer. "Then what is it?" Gible asked everyone.
"Well, if this was a ship, I'd say this was probably the engine room." Duncan said to everyone, before a thought crossed his mind. "Wait. Wait, wait. We don't think this castle turns into a ship, do we?" Duncan asked everyone.
"Who knows. This place defies logic." Mayu said to Duncan, as the hexagon stopped, and everyone stopped at the last one.
"Now what?" Abra asked everyone. Teela said nothing, before slamming her staff into the Hexagon, causing light blue energy from the hexagon to flow into the staff. The energy formed into a bolt that was shot into the air, making sparks fall down in front of everyone.
Letting everyone see a golden energy form of Keldor holding a very young Adam's left arm, Volcarona was in normal colors for his kind now, standing before the woman and her Mega Glalie, who was between Keldor and Volcarona and a massive column of gold energy.
The image revealed the woman to have tan-colored skin, white hair, and wears golden armor and a headdress that holds her hair up, and a gown-like piece around her waist.
"Space castle's haunted." Krass said to everyone, as young Adam tried to break free of Keldor's grip.
"Let me go!" Young Adam said to Keldor. "Shush. The grown-ups are talking." Keldor said to Young Adam. "Release the child." The woman said to Keldor.
"Release this castle's power to me instead of my brother, and you have yourself a deal, Sorceress." Keldor said to the woman.
"If you choose not to give us the power, then we'll make sure this kid will be a burn stain on the floor." Volcarona said to the Sorceress and Glalie, red flames generating from his wings, as Adam walked up to the energy, and moved his hand through the energy.
"No ghost, Krass. Just echoes of the past. My past." Adam said to Krass, as Teela walked up to the Sorceress. "Like a message in a bottle." Teela said to everyone, as she got close to the Sorceress.
"You are unfit for the power. But you leave us no choice." Glalie said to Keldor, with an old male voice, as the Sorceress made the sword and scepter appear in crystal that came out of the floor.
"Proper use of the Power requires selection of a totem for mastery of one's true self. Choose Wisely." The Sorceress said to Keldor.
Keldor then tossed Adam away and walked to the sword. "The sword is the tool of a soldier, one who fights at the behest of others, a servant to the Power." Keldor said, as he walked away from the sword, and Adam looked at the sword with wonder in his eyes.
"The scepter, on the other hand, this is the totem of a true ruler." Keldor said to everyone, as he took the scepter.
"Very true Keldor. And so long as you give me the power as well, I'll enforce your rule." Volcarona said to Keldor. "You are both wicked beings, but you've made your choice." Glalie said to Keldor and Volcarona.
"Seize the power you truly deserve, Prince Keldor." The Sorceress said to Keldor, as she and Glalie moved out of the way, and Adam moved to them.
With the way clear, Keldor ran towards the energy and stuck his hand and scepter into the energy.
That's when green electricity started to crack around Keldor's hand. This made Keldor gasp, as the pillar of energy turned green. Keldor tried to take his hand out, but couldn't.
"KELDOR!" Volcarona said as he moved to help, as some of the electricity came out of the energy and into him.
This made both of them scream in pain. "What are you doing to us?" Keldor asked the Sorceress. "You two did this to yourself when you chose Havoc over Justice and Light." The Sorceress said to them, as they kept screaming.
Everyone watched as Volcarona's colors changed to what everyone saw when they saw Volcarona for the first time, and as Keldor and Volcarona pulled Keldor's right arm out of the energy, revealing his bone hand.
"Bleh." Krass said, as everyone flinched in disguise.
Seeing what happened to them, Keldor and Volcarona gasped, before getting really angry. Keldor then changed hands and pointed the scepter at the Sorceress and Glalie.
"Restore us or perish." Keldor said to the Sorceress and Glalie, channeling energy from the scepter at them. "Now!" Volcarona said to the Sorceress and Glalie, as green flames started to burn from his wings.
"What makes you think we can or would do that?" Glalie asked Keldor and Volcarona. "The Power of Grayskull can only be commanded by a true champion." The Sorceress said to Keldor.
"So be it." Keldor said to the Sorceress and Glalie, as he fired a shrug of green energy at them.
"Then burn! Fire Blast!" Volcarona said to the Sorceress and Glalie, as he fired a large burst of green flames in the shape of a fire symbol at them.
But that's when Adam grabbed the sword and used it to block Keldor and Volcarona's attacks, protecting the Sorceress and Glalie.
That's when the cuff appeared on his right wrist. "Really? The kid? In what world is this boy a champion?" Keldor asked the Sorceress and Glalie, sounding very mad. "He doesn't even have a Pokemon, or know anything yet." Volcarona said to the Sorceress and Glalie.
"Leave them alone." Adam said to Keldor and Volcarona, pointing the sword at them. "Once age or wisdom doesn't matter when it comes to being a champion." Glalie said to Keldor and Volcarona. "Being a champion is about defending those…" The Sorceress said to Keldor and Volcarona, but was interrupted by Adam joining in.
"Who can't defend themselves." The Sorceress and Adam said at the same time, as the echo faded away, and everything went dark.
But that's when Gible noticed a faint light behind them. "Uh, Adam?" Gible said to Adam, making Adam turn to see the sword back in its crystal container, glowing gold.
"There's the sword." Adam said to Gible. "Somethings wrong. Keldor had this last. Why is it here?" Gible asked Adam, as Adam took the sword out of its container. "I don't know. Maybe he couldn't charge it." Adam said to Gible as he looked at the sword.
"How can you be so sure?" Gible asked Adam. "Only one way to find out." Adam said to Gible, before turning to the pit.
"Here goes nothing. By the power of… well, you, Castle." Adam said, holding up the sword and sounding awkward. "Just say GraySKKKKUUUUULLLLLL!" Gible said to Adam, as the sword lit up, and Adam and he got hit by the golden energy
"I have the Power!" Adam and Gible said, as they evolve into their He-man and Apex forms.
"Oh, this feels good." Apex said, as he and He-Man looked at their bodies, and swung their scythes and sword around in the air.
"So what do you all think?" Apex asked everyone, as they looked around and noticed everyone else was missing. "Where are they?" He-Man asked Apex. "I don't know, and I don't like it." Apex said to He-Man, as he and He-Man got into a fighting stance, expecting trouble.
"Sword wouldn't do that for me when I tried using it." Keldor said to He-Man appearing out of the shadows. "And he tried a lot." Volcarona said to everyone, as he came out of the shadows as well.
This made He-Man and Apex gasp. "Dragon Claw!" Apex said, as his scythes became encased in purple energy, and he slashed them at Keldor and Volcarona, while Adam tried to slash them with his sword.
But Keldor and Volcarona moved down and avoided their attacks.
Keldor then punched He-Man in the gut, his bone fist letting out sparks of Havoc, forcing He-Man back.
"Hurricane!" Volcarona said, as he let out a massive surge of green wind that blew Apex back a bit.
"I wonder why. Is a better fighter not worthy?" Keldor asked, as he rushed He-man and started to punch He-Man even more.
"Isn't someone who worked hard for the power worthy of it? Bug Buzz!" Volcarona said, before firing a green sonic wave form his wings at Apex, stunning Apex, and forcing Apex to cover his ears
"One who makes decisions without hesitation." Keldor said, before punching He-Man in the back.
"One who holds nothing back! Fire Blast!" Volcarona said, as he fired a large burst of green flames in the shape of a fire symbol at Apex, hitting Apex and causing a small explosion.
"A champion that isn't some child playing at being a man!" Keldor said, before punching He-Man a few more times before punching him back with a punch to the jaw.
He-man tried to slam his sword into Keldor, while Apex came bursting out of the explosion, his scythes encased in black energy with a purple outline, and tried to slam his scythes into Volcarona.
But Keldor and Volcarona easily dodged their attacks.
Keldor then moved behind He-Man, and kicked He-Man in the back of his legs, making him fall onto his back.
"You kids have power. But you two no idea how to use it. Hurricane!" Volcarona said, as he moved behind Apex, and let out a massive surge of green wind that blew Apex into the floor.
"Why are you doing this?" He-Man asked Keldor, as he and Apex got onto their hands and knees. "Yeah, nothing you are doing is making sense." Apex said to Keldor and Volcarona.
"I'm dying, nephew, little by little, afflicted with Havoc from one poor decision." Keldor said to He-Man. "This power is killing us. We need the power you're flaunting around to survive." Volcarona said to He-Man and Apex.
"I thought you wanted to rule Eternos." He-Man said to Keldor. "Yeah, isn't that why you picked that scepter in the first place?" Apex asked Keldor.
This caused Keldor to roar in frustration, as she swung that scepter at He-Man. "Heat Wave!" Volcarona said in a rage, as he let out a burst of green hot wind at Apex.
But He-Man reacted fast at the last second, and blocked Keldor's attack, locking weapons with him.
"Dragon Rush!" Apex said, as he let out a surge of purple energy that covered him, and made a dragon head appear over his, and bone dragon wings coming out of his shoulders.
This energy protected Apex from the Heat Wave, and let him charge at Volcarona. But the force of the heat coming off Volcarona kept Apex a couple inches away from him, forcing them into a stand still, as both sides gave it all they got to send their enemy flying.
The four attacks caused bolts of gold and green energy to send flying around. "I can't very well do that as a pile of cursed bones can I?" Keldor asked He-Man, before forcing He-Man's sword away and headbutted He-Man away.
"Try using some common sense you stupid kids! Hurricane!" Volcarona said to He-Man and Apex, as he stopped his attack, and before Apex could hit him, let out a massive surge of green wind that blew Apex and He-Man a good distance away from them and onto their knees.
"Let me make this simple for you, Champions." Keldor said to He-Man and Apex, as he and Volcarona stood in front of a thick purple fog.
"Remove augen brights." Evelyn said, her voice echoing, removing the fog, revealing the rest of the gang tied up in some of Kronis' shackles, with Evelyn, Kronis, Magneton, Misdreavus on the side, and Dr. Michael pointing their blaster at everyone, ready to gun them down.
"Reactivate this chamber… Or I'll turn them into monsters… like me." Keldor said to He-Man, smirking, as he held his scepter close to Krass' face.
This caused a very worried look to appear on He-Man and Apex's faces.
