She-ra, the Great Princess of Power

Chapter 22 Power and Honor (part 1)

Orko entered the dream demension. For some reason that place wasn't as majestic as it usually was. It was dark and menacing; there were some colored lights floating around, but just a few.
Orko looked in his sleeve and pulled out a torch. He used it to lighten the way while he looked for Adora.
"Adora? Are you here? Can you hear me?" He spotted something yellow and red in that sea or darkness.
It was Adora, crouched on herself with her eyes closed.
Orko swimmed to her.
"Adora, it's me. I came here to bring you back" .
"Go away, Orko. . ." She said in an undertone.
"What? I can't go away and leave you here" .
"It's better for everyone if I don't wake up ever again. I don't want to lose control and hurt my friends" She sounded like she was about to cry.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Adora. It was Horde Prime!" Orko said.
"Horde Prime?" Adora finally looked at him.
"He was hiding in your sword all this time. Now he's fighting with Adam" .
"Adam is here?" She asked surprised.
"We're all here, Adora. You're not alone" Orko extended his hand for her.
Adora accepted his help and held his hand.
"Let's go!" Orko exclaimed and they started to swim in the direction he came from.
When they tried to leave the dream demension, the darkness around them took the form of a green creature, similar to Horde Prime.
He tried to grab Adora, so Orko turned his torch into a fire torch and threw it at the monster.
Horde Prime got on fire and backed up.
"Don't look back, Adora! We're almost out!" Orko told her, but Adora couldn't help looking behind her.
The creature splitted into four: green for Horde Prime, red for Hordak, yellow for Shadow Weaver and purple for Catra.
With their long arms, they were able to grab Adora's legs.
"Orko!" She screamed as they tried to pull her down.
"I got you! Don't let go!" Orko was holding her arm with both hands.
Something incredible happened: the colored lights around them took the form of Adora's friends. They launched themselves at the creatures and made them let go of the girl.
Adora saw how her friends were fighting to protect her and felt the need to help them. So she extended her arm towards the monsters, with her hand open.
"For the honor of Grayskull!" .
The sword of protection appeared in her hand and its gem blasted a blue power beam.
This was so powerful that it burned away the four monsters and gave to Adora and Orko the push they needed.
"Brace yourself!" Adora said with Orko in her arms, holding his hat.
They dashed out of the dream demension and Orko woke up. Perfuma and Mermista were looking at him, curious to know what happened. Orko looked in the direction of Horde Prime and in that moment the sword of protection returned the way it was before he transformed.
"Yes!" Orko cheered.
Prime started to have convulsions. He-man and Glimmer went to hold him, to keep him still.
Green steam started to come out of Adora's mouth, nose and even her eyes. That was Horde Prime soul leaving her body.
After all of it came out, Adora detransformed and fell on her knees. He-man and Glimmer supported her while she recovered from that horrible experience.
When Adora openned her blue eyes, the first person she saw was Glimmer.
". . .There's my precious sunshine" Adora whispered with a little smile.
Glimmer began to cry of joy and hugged her.
"Please, stop doing this!" .
After Glimmer let her go, Adora turned around.
"Adam? Is this you?" She asked to the He-man. He detransformed and returned to be Adam.
"Nice to meet you, sis" He was also crying for how happy he was.
Adora could finally hug her brother and this time there was no risk he would desappear.
"I'm so happy. I could-!" Adora was so excited that she punched Adam's arm.
"What was that for?" He asked.
"I'm sorry! I-!. . .I had a rough childhood" Adora sighed.
When Mantenna, Leech and Grizzlor saw that Adora was back, they ran away with what little remained of the Horde's army. The Great Rebellion won that battle and saved their friend.

Glimmer and Adam helped Adora to walk to the others.
Lohni and Bow ran to hug her. Romeo joined the hug with his robotic swit, almost crushing them.
"I knew you were out of this world" Bow laughed, ruffing Adora's short hair.
"Adora! It's so good to see you!" Teela hugged her without introducing first.
"Hey, you!. . .I don't know who you are" Adora said, but she didn't refuse the hug.
"I'm Teela, Adam's bodyguard. And this is my dad, Duncan. He was the best guard in your kingdom when you were a baby" Teela made his dad step closer to her.
Duncan bowed to Adora, calling her princess.
"Please, don't do that. I could never get used it" she made him stand up.
"I'm sorry. For a long time I thought you were. . ." .
"Dead? Oh, they tried to take me down! But I'm still here, despite their efforts" Adora touched Duncan's arm "And that's because I have a lot of amazing people who look out for me" .
Duncan looked so relieved. He could finally forgive himself for Adora's kidnapping.
After all those hugs, it was finally Orko's turn to talk with Adora.
"Orko, thank you so much for convincing me to wake up" she said.
"Now that you're here, I can finally ask you. . . Is this your card?" Orko showed her a card.
"Yes!" She smiled, holding the card with two crossed swords.
Orko was so happy to have finally picked the right card.
