Chapter 2
“Then when Orko tried to water the garden with magic, he completely drowned it!”
Glimmer burst out laughing as Adam continued her story. The Princess also in a fit of giggles as she tried to finish up the tale.
“He-He sounds like he needs just a little more practice.” Glimer chimed with a wave of her hand.
Adam let out another laugh. The girl gasping for air as she tried to speak.
“Ye-yeah he really does, but he tries.” She said cacing her breath in between words.
Glimmer sighed and leaned against the wall. The cool metal feeling good against her back.
She looked at the wall behind her.
She bit her lip before she finally asked a question she had been wanting to ask since she first started talking to the Princess the next cell over.
“Adam. How did you get here?”
Adam stayed silent. Glimmer listened for anything but heard nothing.
Glimmer suddenly felt a rush of panic go through her as the silence grew louder the longer it lasted.
Finally after what felt like hours Adam's voice returned. Almost in a whisper.
Do you really want to know that badly?” she asked.
“Yeah. If it's okay with you.’ Glimmer quickly added, waving her hands frantically.. Now realizing that it might be a touchy subject for her.
Adam was silent for a few seconds before letting out a deep, long sigh. As if she was bracing herself.
“Okay. It’s Only fair I tell you. After all you told me how you got here.” She added with a joking tone. But Glimmer could here a hint of sadness behind it.
It all happened so fast. The explosions ringing loudly in their ears.
The Eterinans bellowing out their battle cries. They had all come together to stop this threat.
Heroic Warriors, Evil Forces, even a few Snake-Men here and here.
They fought hard and bravely but it wasn't enough.
The looming white ship was powerful. The clones and machines kept coming. It soon overwhelmed them all.
Now deep in the once beautiful palace walls that were now in ruins. The statues destroyed , the garden no longer pristine and full of life. The peoples homes in fire and ashes. The Princess rushed what was left of her people and others into the escape pods.
“Adam!”
The blonde girl spun around and saw redheaded woman rushing to her.
“We got everyone here. We need to leave.” The redhead said, pushing her childhood friend to the ship.
Adam pulled back, stepping away.
“No.”
Teela stared at the blonde with confusion.
“What do you mean “No.” The warrior demanded.
“Someone needs to stay behind.” Adam wrapped her fingers around her swords hilt, staring at her reflection in the blade.
“They're too powerful, if someone doesn't stay behind no one will make it out.”
“
“Then I’ll stay.” Teela said stepping off the ship's stairs.
“No. You won’t.”
“What do you mean No!” Teela yelled.
“I’m your guard! I’m supposed to protect you.”
Adam looked at her friend and gave her a small smile.
“My job is to protect my people. It’s what I was raised to do. That includes you.”
Adam pulled her into a firm hug. She felt Teela’s tears fall onto her hair as the soldier sputtered out “No’s” and “I’m staying.”
Adam quickly pushed her into the ship slamming the door closed typing in the coorendets to get them off the planet.
Teela screaming at her slamming her fist onto the door demanding to be let out.
Adam placed her hand onto the glass window and gave the redhead a small smile as her own tears began to fall.
Teela dong the same. The two girls staring at each other. Hands on the cool glass.
“I love you.” Adam whispered.
Before turning away as the ship began to take off.
Teela watched as her Princess adjusted her grip on her sword, lifting the blade above her head as she screamed out for the Elders to hear.
“By the Power of Grayskull!”
Teela fell to her knees as she watched her transform. The clones and machines soon breaking in swarming her.
Teela fell to her knees, her tears now streaming down her face.
She watched as her childhood friend destroyed machine after machine with ease. But she could tell that they where starting to overwhelm her.
She felt a sense of dread wash over her as she saw one get a shot from behind. Adam's sword falling out of her hands in shock. Another blast and she clearly lost conscious. Teela wanted to scream. No she wanted to break something as she saw the leader grab Adam. Teela began to pound on the glass. Yelling as tears fell. She felt a pair of arms pull her away from the door.
As she let out a loud scream of anguish as she saw her friend being taken away by the Horde Prime’s troops. Her sword being held by another as she disappeared into the ship the moment their own just out of Horde Prime’s reach. She buried herself in a large chest as she sobbed. She could hear her dad's voice whispering in her ears trying to calm her down.
But it fell upon death ears.
