Family Secrets Part II

Episode 7: Family Secrets Part II

He-man, Battlecat, and Veena slowly walked down the stairway inside the building. "The Faceless One" stood in front at the bottom.

"Thank you for coming."

He-man nodded. "You did save Veena from Evil-lyn."

"The Faceless One" nodded in return. "What kind of a grandfather would I be not to save my only granddaughter?"

He-man looked at him. "Alarik, what are you saying?"

"Queen Gwendolyn is one of my daughters."

He-man looked at Veena.

Veena stood with her mouth opened. Great. Something else my mother forgot to tell me.

Alarik, "The Faceless One", moved closer to her. "I'm sorry to put this on the two of you, but I am dying and I need to pass my powers to someone. I was going to give to Veena alone, but Gwendolyn suggested I give them to her and Prince Adam."

He-man looked from Veena to Alarik. "But why Prince Adam?"

"I believe it would be better if I explained it to him instead."

He-man glanced at Veena. "All right."

He-man and Battlecat walked behind a wall. Soon after Cringer and Adam walked out. Adam walked to Veena's side.

Veena stood looking at Alarik. "Why didn't anyone say anything?"

Alarik sighed. "I'm sorry, Veena. I thought I had more time."

"Wait that means…?"

"Yes, Evil-lyn is also my daughter."

Evil-lyn stood hidden by a tree watching Ram Man and Man-E-Faces walking toward a clearing. Slowly a smile appeared on her face. Things are going as I planned.

Skeletor stood aboard his Battle Ram Chariot in front of his troops. Hopefully his plan would work and the Masters would leave Grayskull defenceless.

Adam looked at Alarik and then at Veena in shock. "Evil-lyn is your aunt."

"You think you're shock. I'm the one related to her."

Adam returned his gaze to Alarik. "That's what you meant by don't hold her family against her."

"I meant it. I'd hoped Evelyn would see the light, but I fear she won't."

"Alarik, why give me your power? I don't understand. I do giving it to Veena, but why me?"

"I can trust no one else with my power. Will the two of you take it?"

Adam glanced over at Veena. "Well, what do you think?"

"What happens if you do not pass it on?"

"My power will be lost forever."

Veena sighed. "I guess we really don't have a choice. I just wish someone had said something earlier."

Alarik moved toward her. "I understand, Veena. And you are right. Your mother should have said something."

Sitting inside the clearing was a little girl. She was crying. Ram Man and Man-E-Faces walked slowly toward her.

She looked up at them. "I'm lost. Can you help me?"

Ram Man smiled. "Of course."

Suddenly the little girl disappeared and the two Masters were surrounded.

Alarik bent over. "We must hurry. Skeletor is attacking Grayskull." He stood up and held out a hand. "Place one of your hands over mine. It shouldn't take long."

Veena did as he said. "What happens after we get your powers?"

"I can finally join your grandmother."

Inside Castle Grayskull, the Sorceress raced to the Crystal cave. She reached the Crystal orb. If I have to use the powers to protect them, I will. Gwen, they need to hurry. I don't want to do this again.

They have to get the powers and then they will come to Grayskull.

Man-E-Faces and Ram Man watched in horror as Skeletor walked toward an unprotected Grayskull.

Veena and He-man stood in the ruins of Zalesia. The powers of "The Faceless One" flowed inside them. Veena glanced back as the ram's head disappeared under the sand.

"He's happy, Veena."

She glanced at He-man. "I know."

Veena, you and He-man need to use your new power and get to Grayskull. Skeletor is almost inside.

Veena looked at He-man. "We have to go NOW! Skeletor is attacking Grayskull."

He-man jumped onto Battlecat's back. "Let's go."

Veena climbed behind him. "My mother said to use our new powers."

"How do we do that?"

"I have no idea."

"We need to get there Now!"

Skeletor stopped before the drawbridge. Standing on the bridge was He-man and Veena on Battlecat's back.

He-man looked back at Veena. How did we do that?

I have no clue. Be on guard. I think he isn't happy.

Veena and He-man got off of Battlecat. He-man drew his sword as Veena elongated her staff.

He-man moved closer toward Skeletor. "Going somewhere, Skeletor?"

Skeletor glanced around him. Suddenly troops from Morainia and The Royal Palace surrounded him.

"I will have the power, He-man!" He moved toward He-man. Their swords clashed.

Veena stood back. Suddenly Evil-lyn cornered her.

"He gave you his power."

Veena moved back. "What you thought he'd give it to you?"

"You little…"

Veena raised her staff. A bolt of ice hit Evil-lyn freezing her instantly. Then Veena quickly got onto Battlecat's back. The massive tiger took her away and toward the Masters.

He-man and Skeletor's sword clashed as He-man watched out for the Havok staff. Skeletor raised his staff only to find it frozen to his hand and useless.

He looked over at Veena sitting on top of Battlecat.

"Want to try it now, Skeletor?"

Skeletor quickly glanced and round him and then fled to his Battle Ram Chariot. "Retreat!"

The troops of good watched as Skeletor fled leaving behind the frozen Evil-lyn. Veena turned to face her. Suddenly the sorceress disappeared. He-man moved closer to Veena but remained aloft.

Veena, where is she?

Somewhere where she needs to be.

He-man nodded.

Veena sat alone in a room off of the throne room inside the Ice Palace. Soon she would be returning to the Royal Palace of Eternia with Adam, King Randor, and Teela. She felt in her soul. That was home not this place. No matter what her father wished.

Ciaran sat in his cell. Every plan he had come up with had failed. Someone knew his plans. That witch had betrayed him that what had to happen. He sighed. Unless she came to get him out. He was stuck.

Adam laid on his bed. The powers of Alarik running through him. It felt odd to feel as if He-man were always around. But the powers allowed him to know if Veena needed him and where she was. Slowly he smiled. I'll protect her. I promise.
