Open
on an aerial view of
Jane: Look at all those fires, there's no way we can
fight Skeletor and put them out.
Mack: Right now I'm not worried about the fires, the
fire department can handle them, and I'm just focused on stopping Skeletor
before he can cause more damage.
Sorceress: Look out Mack!
A
fireball hits the battle hawk and sends it spinning out of control. A second
and third fireball head towards the Sorceress and Daria but they easily dodge
them.
Skeletor: (OS) Excellently done, but I'm afraid that
you'll have to do much better!
The
fireballs curve back and once again head toward them and they dodge them only
to have them curve back around toward them again.
Back
on the battle hawk Mack is struggling with the controls trying but to no avail.
Mack: Damn, back to the drawing board.
Jane: If we survive.
Skeletor: (os) and I have you, right where
I want you!
They
look down and see Skeletor standing on top of a building; he holds out his hands
and a fireball appears in each hand. He looks up and then throws the fireballs
toward them. The fireballs fill the screen and an explosion is heard - pull
back to see He-Man and Wildcat on the battle hawk in the middle of a heavy
blizzard. The right wing has been damaged and is on fire.
He-Man: Stupid mountain! This isn't good, the
controls won't respond... and we're losing altitude!
Wildcat: Nonononono! I don't want to die! I don't
want to die! This is why I hate flying! Why'd you force me to come! It's your
fault I'm going to die!
He-Man: Calm down Wildcat, we are not going to-
(weak) die...
The
battle hawk slams into a tree and is sent into a violent spin right into
another tree. Wildcat is thrown off of the battle hawk and falls down between
two trees, she manages to dig her claws into the bark of one of the trees and
slows her fall enough to grab onto a limb and climb to safety. Back on the
battle hawk He-Man tries to regain enough control to glide it down but it slams
into yet another tree which rips the left wing off. The rest of the ship speeds
toward the ground and crashes- He-Man is thrown free and hits the ground hard.
He rolls into a tree and remains motionless.
Up
in the tree Wildcat looks down and sees the burning wreckage.
Wildcat: Whew, that could've really hurt-
oh no Kevviee!!!
She
quickly climbs down the tree and rushes toward the wreckage yelling Kevin's
name. When she reaches the crash site she sees He-Man lying unconscious next to
the tree and she rushes over to him.
Wildcat: Kevvie? Wake up! Kevvie! Kevin,
wake up!
She
scratches him across the face and he wakes with a scream of pain. Wildcat
smiles and grabs him in a big bear hug.
Wildcat: Oh Kevvie you're okay!
He-Man: Ow! Yeah, hey watch the claws!
Wildcat: Oh, sorry...
He-Man: It's okay, wait what did you call
me?
Wildcat: What do you mean?
He-Man: You called me "Kevvie," only Britney does
that, but she didn't have any memories of being you. How could-
Wildcat: I remember everything, being that... that
airhead cheerleader!
He-Man: What-
Wildcat: Don't start defending her; I know that
there are only two reasons why you like her.
He-Man: What two- oh, hey wait no that's not how it-
Wildcat: Oh come on! What else does she have going
for her? Her annoying high-pitch voice, her stupid habit of twirling her hair,
her supreme intellect!? Well, which one is it?
He-Man: Um... I... Heh, it's um.
Wildcat: Exactly... you could do so much better, like
me.
He-Man: What!?
Wildcat: Remember I said I'd help you if you
promised me something.
He-Man: Yeah...
Wildcat: Don't ever turn me back to, her. Let me
stay like this, as Wildcat.
He-Man: But... I-I can't!
Wildcat: You promised me!
He-Man: You don't understand, when I change back, so
will you. There's nothing I can do.
Wildcat: No... there has to be a way!
He-Man: I'm sorry, but if there is I don't know how...
Wildcat
turns away from him and appears to start crying.
He-Man: Look, maybe Jodie can find a way... lets hurry
and find the Frost Armor and kick Skeletor's butt, then we'll find a way to let
you stay like this.
Wildcat
spins around and grabs his arm, she was faking crying.
Wildcat: I knew you wouldn't let me down,
babe. Come on!
He-Man: Y-you were faking!
Wildcat: No, I was crying on the inside... but I can't
actually cry- I have a reputation to uphold.
Together
they begin to tread thru the snow.
Back
in
Sorceress: Mack! Help me!
Mack
lays facedown in the street wearing his regular armor while his power suit in
lay in ruin behind him. He starts to get up in obvious pain but is able to get
on his knees and pull out a small device and activates it.
Mack: Jodie! Get out of there!
The
Sorceress leaps backwards and flies into the air but Skeletor powers up a
fireball and hits her in the back. She yells and falls back to the ground. Mack
throws the device at Skeletor and it explodes as it hit the ground. Skeletor
steps out of the smoke and fire completely unharmed and laughs.
Skeletor: Pathetic.
To
Skeletor's left the wall of a building explodes outward as Trent and Panthor
emerge.
Skeletor: Good Panthor, just don't play with him too
long before you kill him. These heroes have a nasty habit for coming back on
you.
Jane: (OS) No!
Jane
runs up behind Skeletor and strikes him with her sword but the blow is defected
by his armor.
Skeletor: Oh come now, did you really expect
that to work?
Skeletor
back hands Jane and she skids down the street.
Skeletor: Is this it? Where is the great He-Man when
his friends need him? Where- ahhh!
Skeletor
drops to the ground and we see the Sorceress standing behind him with an energy
ball in her hand.
Sorceress: Don't worry, he'll be here soon and then
you'll find out what true power is.
Skeletor
gets up and starts laughing again.
Skeletor: I already have true power, my
dear Sorceress!
Skeletor
swings his sword up and brings it down toward her.
Back
on the snowy mountain He-Man and Wildcat are slowly starting up the side of a
mountain. They are beaten down by heavy snow and wind. Wildcat falls and He-Man
helps her up and puts her arm around his neck to help support her.
He-Man: Hold on, it can't be too much
further.
Wildcat: I-I can't make it, it's so cold.
He-Man: You can and will make it, remember
your reputation?
Wildcat
gives a slight smile and they continue. He-Man looks ahead of them and sees the
air begin to shimmer and the snow clear.
He-Man: What the...
They
continue on and as they reach the disturbance all of the snow dissipates and an
opening in the side of the mountain appears. They step into the opening and
slip and fall on the icy floor and slide into an icy tunnel. The icy walls of
the tunnel reflect thousands of colors and emit an ethereal light. When He-Man
and Wildcat slide out of the tunnel they find themselves inside a massive ice
cave, large icicles hang from the ceiling and large pillars of ice covered in
carvings are scattered throughout the chamber. To the right and the left of the
ice tunnel are stairs that lead to thrones carved out of ice and immediately
above the tunnel is a platform on which stands a giant statue of soldier
kneeling with a large axe resting on the ground in front of it. He-Man and
Wildcat stand and look around the cave.
Wildcat: (shivering) I-is th-this wh-where we're
s-supposed t-to b-be?
He-Man: I think so... but where is the Frost Armor?
Voice: (OS) You come here seeking the Frost Armor?
They
look around for the source of the voice but there is no one around.
He-Man: Yes, an evil being called Skeletor has
discovered the Blaze Armor and is threatening the world, I need the Frost Armor
to defeat him.
Voice: (OS) There is no threat to this planet. Leave
this sacred place now.
He-Man: You are wrong; if I don't get the Frost
Armor then Skeletor will destroy Earth.
Voice: (OS) Earth? I have no reason to save Earth.
Return to your planet.
He-Man: Return to my planet? What do you mean, this
is Earth.
Voice: (OS) No, this is Friza.
He-Man: Friza? I don't understand-
Voice: (OS) It matters not, you will leave NOW!
The
fierceness of the voice causes the cave to shudder and a few small icicles fall
to the floor and shatter.
He-Man: I will not! You may not care about Earth,
but I do. Now give me the Frost Armor or I'll take it!
The
cave is silent for a moment then a low laugh begins.
Voice: (OS) You fool... the Frost Armor cannot be
taken nor may it be given. It must be earned in battle; but the Frost Armor is
not destined for you, if you take it you will die. If you willing to sacrifice
your own life to save your world, then so be it, I will allow you to try.
Behind
them the platform and statue above the tunnel drops down, the statue lands on
its feet and stands up to its full height and raises its axe over its head and
appears to be stretching. Meanwhile the platform has swung down to completely
seal off the tunnel. The statue rests its axe on its shoulder and looks down at
He-Man and Wildcat.
Statue (formerly Voice): Ah! Now then, if you can
defeat me, then the Frost Armor shall be yours.
Statue
raises his foot and tries to step on He-Man and Wildcat but they jump to either
side. He-Man gets back up and punches his leg then grabs his hand in pain.
He-Man: Ow, this thing is hard.
Statue: Don't tell me that's all you have.
Statue
raises his axe and brings it down toward He-Man who side-steps it then jumps up
onto the handle and runs up it and onto Statue's arm. Statue slaps He-Man off
with its other hand and he smashes through one of the ice pillars. Behind Statue
Wildcat is climbing one of the other ice pillars; she looks down at him and
leaps onto his head and begins clawing at it. Statue howls in pain and drops his
axe to pull her off while He-Man digs himself out of the snow and ice he was
buried in. He sees Wildcat fighting with Statue but he also sees the giant axe
and runs over to it. With a great effort He-Man lifts the axe and begins to
swing it around in a circle.
He-Man: Wildcat! Heads up!
She
sees what he is planning and leaps off of Statue just as He-Man lets the axe
go. Statue turns in time to see the axe right before it takes its head off.
When the head hits the ground the cave begins to shudder and the center of the
floor drops away and a small alter rises up in the center of the crevasse with
the Frost Armor resting on it.
Statue: The Frost Armor is yours, but first you must
get to it, then we will see if you live or die.
He-Man
and Wildcat look across the crevasse then at each other and He-Man smiles while
Wildcat looks worried.
Back
high above Lawndale Skeletor has created a set of wings out of fire and is
chasing Daria through the air.
Skeletor: You can run all you want, but I
will get you- Ahhh!
The
Sorceress drives her staff into Skeletor's back and tries to slash him with the
power sword but Skeletor manages to block the attack with his flaming sword.
Skeletor: Starting to play dirty now? Fine
by me.
Skeletor
snaps his fingers and creates an oval shaped fireball which he throws over the
Sorceress' head. The fireball cracks open like an egg and a dragon of fire
springs out and attacks her. Skeletor hovers in the air laughing until Daria
slams into him and blasts him at point-blank range. His fire wings disappear
and he falls as Daria flies up to help the Sorceress. Skeletor recreates his
wings and just barely manages to avoid hitting the ground. He starts to fly up
again but he collides with Panthor and together they hit the ground. Mack, his
armor ripped open and blood dripping out, and Trent, with cuts all over his
body, come around the corner in pursuit of Panthor. Skeletor pushes the cat off
of himself and gets up scowling at it.
Skeletor: Pathetic cat, I warned you not to play
with him too long, now get up and finish the job!
Panthor
gets up and leaps at Mack and Trent, Mack raises the energy pistol which he is
holding in his left arm and fires on Panthor with little effect.
Skeletor: You want something done right...
Skeletor
advances on them.
Back
in the ice cave the armor is gone from the alter and the ice column begins to
crack and fall back into the crevasse.
He-Man: (OS) Nice jump.
Wildcat: (OS) Y-you c-c-could've
w-ww-warned m-m-me f-ff-first.
He-Man: (OS) If I told you I was going to toss you
over there you would have ripped my arm off.
Wildcat: (OS) I s-s-s-still m-m-m-might...!
He-Man
steps over to the edge and we finally see what his armor looks like. His left
shoulder pad has three large icicles jutting out of it and there is a white fur
pelt that is connected to his pads that hangs down to his knees. His brown
leather boots have been replaced by white furry boots tied together with brown
leather straps. When he turns back to us we see that he is wearing a light blue
head band with a star of ice, his normal harness straps have turned light blue
and meet at an Iron cross crest made of ice. On both wrists he wears gauntlets
that are silver and light blue. Lastly his loincloth is now made out of the
same fur that his cape is and it is fastened to a silver belt that bears the
same symbol as his head band.
He
walks over to Wildcat; her normal brown armor has changed to a silver armor
with shoulder pads that have icicles extending from them and a star made of ice
is located in the center. Her arms and legs are now covered with white and
light blue fur that connects to her armor. Both of them are surrounded by
transparent vapor cloud and whenever they talk their breath can be seen.
He-Man: You sure you're okay? You're
shivering more now.
Wildcat: I-I'll b-b-be f-f-fine...
Statue: (OS) It has already begun for her. Your
power protects you for now but soon you too will succumb. You must hurry if you
wish her to live.
He-Man: But the tunnel is blocked, how do we get
back?
Statue: The tunnel is only one-way, to return you
must travel another way... I... am not completely unsympathetic to your plight. So
I will help you return.
Across
the cave opposite from the ice tunnel another doorway opens.
Statue: Inside you'll find a ship that will take you
back to your world, just say where you wish to go and it will do the rest.
He-Man: We can't just take your ship...
Statue: Go, once you are home safely it will return
to me, now hurry, for your time grows shorter.
He-Man: Thank you, uh, what do I call you?
Statue: A friend, now go!
He-Man
walks over to Wildcat and picks up a silver cylinder and holds it out as a
blade of ice extends from both sides then disappears back into it and he locks
it into a groove on his right gauntlet. Then he picks up a long pole with a
circle on the top, when he holds it up two blades of ice extend from the circle
into an axe and then disappear as he slides it into a sheath hidden under his
cape. Last he picks up a small shield that he locks onto his left gauntlet.
He-Man: Let's go Wildcat.
He
picks her up and carries her through the opening to find the ship.
Back
in Lawndale Skeletor stands in the middle of a crossroad laughing as the
masters lie scattered around him.
Skeletor: Now then, who's up next?
Right
at that moment a fire truck turns the corner behind Skeletor and starts in his
direction.
Skeletor: Ah how nice, a volunteer!
Skeletor
creates a fireball in his hand and draws back to throw it. On his right Jane
looks up and realizes what he is going to do.
Jane: No!
Jane
hits Skeletor's arm as he throws sending his fireball off target and exploding
a parked car. The explosion startles the driver and he overcorrects and the
fire truck flips onto its side.
Skeletor
grabs Jane by the throat and lifts her up off the ground.
Skeletor: You are beginning to annoy me.
In
response she kicks Skeletor in the head as Daria and the Sorceress tackle him
from behind. Jane is released and she falls to the ground coughing. Daria and
the Sorceress are struggling to hold Skeletor down when Panthor lands in front
of them and swipes at them forcing them to release Skeletor and back away. An
energy blast from off-screen hits Panthor sending him through another wall.
Mack barley standing drops his cannon arm and falls to his knees.
Skeletor: Look at you, all of you. Why don't you
just give up, I promise not to kill you if you do... but if you continue - I
guarantee you'll die.
The
Sorceress moving in a blur runs behind Skeletor and throws him into the air and
Mack with
Skeletor: Have it your way.
His
eyes burn red and he puts his hands together.
Mack: Oh no, I can't get it off! Oh god I can't get
it off! It's burning me!
Sorceress: Mack!
She
rushes over to him and grabs the armor at the shoulder and rips it off his arm
as Mack screams in pain. Skeletor begins to laugh but notices
Skeletor: Did I say anyone could leave?
He
powers up a fireball and hurls it at the truck. The exploration sends Jane
flying across the street and through a shop window.
Skeletor
lands and backs away from
Skeletor: Ah, so there's still some fight left in
you, well I'd love to finish you off but I promised that honor to Panthor!
Panthor
emerges from the building and attacks Skeletor but
Before
he can defend himself
He-Man: (OS) Why don't you try that on me?
Skeletor
turns and looks up to see He-Man standing on top of the borrowed ship.
Skeletor: He-Man?
He-Man: Yeah, now let's do this!
He-Man
jumps off the ship and draws his axe. Skeletor's flaming sword appears in his
hand and he steadies himself for He-Man's attack but just before the two blades
meet He-Man and Skeletor freeze. There is a flash and they are thrown backward
as their respective armors break away from them. The frost armor becomes a
pulsating blue ball of light as the Blaze armor becomes a pulsating red light.
Skeletor: What!? What's happening!
He-Man: (whispering) He said the armor wasn't meant
for me... it was meant for you.
Skeletor: What are you babbling about?
The
two orbs begin to circle them and slowly close inward. Suddenly the red light
slams into He-Man as the Blue light slams into Skeletor. There is another flash
of light as the two sets of armor reform on their new masters. He-Man's armor
consists of a bronze dragon helmet, red shoulder pads with bronze accents, a
bronze chest plate with a red crystal flame inlaid with an iron cross, and
bronze arms and legs with red flame markings that glow slightly running down
the sides. On his back we can see a sword handle sticking up and a large round
shield. The air around He-Man simmers from the heat rising from him. Skeletor's
armor is mostly hidden under a light blue cloak lined with black fur with four
ice spikes on each shoulder. What we can see of his armor appears to be layers
of bluish ice with various patterns of white that cover his entire body. On his
chest is a white weapon shaped like the blade of a double-sided axe and
Skeletor's body is surrounded by ice vapors.
He-Man: Wow, the power...
Skeletor: ...it's incredible!
The Sorceress: He-Man!
He-Man
speaks without looking away from Skeletor.
He-Man: Take care of the others, this is my fight.
Behind
He-Man a shadow rises up and leaps at him - it is Panthor now covered by a
light blue harness with icicles and ice spikes - but before it can attack He-Man
Wildcat, in her new transformed state, lands on its head slamming it to the
ground. Now Wildcat's body armor is now a blazing red with black stripes that extends
down to her knees where it ends with a ring of black fur. On her shoulders are
a pair of small black shoulder pads and underneath them the new armor extends
down her arms.
Wildcat: Bad kitty. Hey babe.
He-Man: You okay?
She
leaps off of Panthor and lands softly next to He-Man.
Wildcat: I feel perrrrfect!
Skeletor: Enough! Let's finish this once
and for all!
He-Man: You read my mind.
In
an instant He-Man has drawn his sword and it erupts in flames and he rushes
Skeletor.
Skeletor: Come on He-Man, still using the
same old tactics?
He-Man: No, I have something new in mind.
He-Man
slashes the air and a blade of fire shoots toward Skeletor ducks under it then
retaliates by throwing a spear of ice at He-Man who vaporizes it with his
flaming sword.
Skeletor: It appears to be a draw once
again.
He-Man: No, not this time.
Skeletor: As you wish, take this!
Skeletor
pounds the ground and a wave of sharp ice spikes shoot toward He-Man who pulls
his shield off his back to block them. When he lowers his shield Skeletor is
gone.
Skeletor: Die He-Man!
He-Man
looks up and sees Skeletor falling toward him with his axe drawn.
Meanwhile
Wildcat faces off against Panthor. She runs toward it but Panthor growls and
fires a beam from its mouth that covers the ground with ice that Wildcat slips
and falls.
Wildcat: Oh, I see kitty has learned a new trick,
but haven't we all?
She
back flips off of the ice and lands on her feet and her left hand, but in her
right she holds a fireball which she throws along the ice melting it. The
fireball explodes in front of Panthor who jumps to the side avoiding the blast
then rushes her.
Wildcat: Time for another trick.
Wildcat's
fur around her knees and elbows and her fists turn to flame and she disappears.
Panthor lands on the spot where Wildcat was and looks around for her, suddenly
she appears in front of him and delivers a powerful uppercut and follows it
with a spin kick that sends Panthor skidding across the pavement. Panthor looks
up as Wildcat disappears again only to reappear directly in front of him.
Wildcat: Finished already? Too bad I'm
not.
She
drives her fist down as-
Cut
to He-Man diving under a wave of ice shards then charging toward Skeletor. He
jumps into the air and slams his hands together then pulls them apart creating
a massive fireball which he fires at Skeletor; the force of the attack drives
He-Man further up into the air. Skeletor summersaults backward away from the
fireball but when it hits the explosion sends debris in all direction, Skeletor
is struck by a large chunk of asphalt and falls back. When he looks up he sees
He-Man falling toward him with his sword pointed at his head, Skeletor rolls
out of the way just as He-Man drives his sword into the ground. Quickly
Skeletor pulls the axe blade off of his chest plate and strikes the blade of
He-Man's sword - both weapons shatter and inflict small wounds on both
warriors. They back away from each other and resume their stare down.
Skeletor: Now what will you do without
your precious sword?
He-Man: You forget that you too are
weaponless?
Skeletor: Am I now?
Skeletor
pulls out a cylinder and a spear made of ice extends from on end. Skeletor
rushes He-Man but he holds out his shield and two handles pop out on either
side of it. He-Man grabs each handle and the shield bursts into flames then
separates into two double-bladed axes. Skeletor tries to stop out of He-Man's
range but his momentum is too great and He-Man swings one of his axes. Skeletor
Jumps over the swing but He-man completes his rotation and aims for Skeletor
with his second axe and hits him. Skeletor howls and falls away but he looks
and sees that his armor took most of the blow and that he suffered only a minor
cut.
Skeletor: Enough, I think the time to end
this has come.
Skeletor
holds out his right hand and his chaos staff appears in his hand. He holds it
high above his head and with his left hand he creates a ball of ice that he
throws into the air. He fires an energy beam from his staff at it and the ball
of ice stops in midair and begins to pulsate. Skeletor ends the energy beam
then ducks down and covers himself with his cloak as shards of ice begin
shooting out from the pulsating ball of ice. He-Man is struck many times by the
ice shards and suffers cuts around his body.
He-Man: That's your great plan?
Skeletor: Look around you He-Man! Watch as your precious
town is covered in ice freezing everyone and everything in it!
He-Man
looks around and realizes that what Skeletor said is coming true; as the ice
shards hit the ground they begin to enlarge and cover everything, when he looks
back at the ice ball he sees that the number of ice shards are increasing and
that pulsation is becoming larger.
He-Man: Damn.
He-Man
takes his two axes and connects the handles together creating one weapon, the
axe blades erupt into larger fires and he begins twirling the weapon over his
head, heating up the area and melting the ice then evaporating it. He-Man yells
at the top of his lungs and leaps into the air toward the ice ball. He is
pelted with water as the heat from his axe-staff melts the ice shards, when he
reaches the ice ball he twists around and slices through the ice ball instantly
vaporizing it and bringing the spell to an end which allows the ice on the
ground to begin melting. He-Man lands on the street okay but yells in pain as
Skeletor drives his ice spear into his back. He-Man twists around and strikes
Skeletor with his axe-staff and throwing him back through a wall.
Skeletor: No, it can't... my armor
should've-
He
looks down and sees his ice armor melted and a large cut across his chest.
He-Man reaches around and feels his back and finds the wound but not the ice
spear, which is lying on the ground behind him. He raises his axe-staff and
brings it down on the cylinder smashing it. Skeletor stands and stares across
at He-Man who stares back his face full of rage.
He-Man: Enough of these tricks, time to
die!
He-Man
tosses his axe-staff aside and rushes Skeletor slamming him through the wall on
the other side of the building. Skeletor punches He-Man in his head forcing him
to let go, but he quickly recovers and returns the favor striking Skeletor in
the head. Skeletor swings wildly but misses and He-Man picks him up and slams
him to the ground then raises his fist to hit him again.
Skeletor: No, don't- Panthor help!
Something
streaks from the building and stops next to He-Man, it's Wildcat.
Wildcat: Sorry, but you little cat is down
and out.
She
drops Panthor's head armor next to Skeletor.
Wildcat: Well now, shall we finish him?
She
starts forward but He-Man stops her.
He-Man: No, he's mine.
Skeletor: Yours am I? Only if you can
catch me He-Man!
Skeletor
swings his hand in an arc sending icicles at He-Man and Wildcat. As they shield
themselves Skeletor scrambles to his feet and runs off toward the school.
Wildcat: That dirty son-of-a-
He-Man: Stay here, he's mine.
Wildcat: But-
He-Man: He's mine!
In front of the school He-Man catches up to Skeletor
and he clubs him across the back with his massive arm. The blow drives Skeletor
forward and he slams into the
Skeletor pounds on He-Man's back then
yells as He-Man begins to squeeze him. Skeletor pushes He-man's head back with
one hand while he draws back his other and drives it into the side of He-Man's
head. He drops Skeletor who reaches up and begins to choke him, He-Man grabs
Skeletor's hands and he begins to pull them apart. He head buts Skeletor twice
then tries to punch Skeletor but he misses as Skeletor sidesteps his attack and
follows up by grabbing the straps that normally hold his sword. Skeletor spins
He-Man around and slams him into the opposite wall and quickly jumps on him
landing blow after blow. He-Man can do little more that block each blow the
best he can, but Skeletor makes a mistake by raising his right hand way up to
try and end the battle with one blow.
Skeletor and He-Man move in slow-motion: He-Man
grabs Skeletor's incoming arm with one hand, then punches Skeletor hard in his
abdomen, then he drives both of his fists into Skeletor's back. He rolls
Skeletor over and begins to pound on him with all his strength, with each punch
the fire surrounding the Blaze armor grows in intensity. The sound of bone
breaking is heard followed by He-Man's scream as the fires surrounding him
engulf the room.
Outside the school the masters slowly
approach but dive for cover as the school suddenly explodes from within. They
look up and see a figure emerging from the fire and smoke - it's He-Man and he
is dragging the limp form of Skeletor, he drops him at the feet of the other
masters.
Mack: It's over...
He-Man: No, not until he's dead.
Sorceress: What! You can't kill him!
He-Man: Watch me.
He-Man
raises his hand and his sword appears in his hands but from out of nowhere
Wildcat jumps him and snatches the sword from his grasp then leaps to a safe
distance.
Wildcat: I want to see him dead as much as you, but
not like this. I won't let you kill in cold blood. Not like he would.
He-Man
starts toward her but stops when the Sorceress breaks away from the others an
approaches him.
Sorceress: You'll have to go through me
too.
He-Man,
Wildcat, and the Sorceress stand around the fallen Skeletor in a face off, but
on its own the sword of power begins to glow and the Sorceress' armor
disappears as the sword lifts out of the Sorceress' hands and floats over Skeletor's
body, its blade facing down.
He-man: See? Even the sword-
He
stops as the blaze armor begins to flare up again.
Wildcat: Wha, hey I'm glowing too!
Her
armor leaves her and streaks toward He-Man and the blaze armor. Once the two
are rejoined the blaze armor leaves He-Man and returns to its orb shape and
floats over to join the sword of power. The red orb merges with the sword then
fires a red beam encircled with white lightning at Skeletor. The frost armor
reforms around him but then it too leaves him; trapped within the red
electrified beam of energy. But then from Skeletor a second orb appears, a dark
blue- almost black orb, the beam of red energy retracts pulling the second orb
with it until it touches the Frost armor's orb and the two merge and turn
black. There is a flash of white light and then the orb has returned to its
original light blue but with a small black dot in its center. The sword and orb
turns away from Skeletor and points toward the Sorceress and the sword fires
another red electrified beam that propels the orb at the Sorceress. She is
struck by the beam and the orb enters her body and instantly a golden glow
surrounds her.
Sorceress: I-I feel normal; the sword restored the
magic Skeletor took from me! And more it feels like, it must have converted the
magic of the frost armor and gave it to me as well.
The
swords' beam leaves her and returns to the sword, and then the red orb
separates from the sword and changes into a red version of the sword of power.
This new sword of flame turns toward Wildcat streaks right at her; at the last
second it flips and she catches it by the handle. The sword's glow begins to
cover her entire body and she raises it up high and speaks the magic words-
Wildcat: From the fires of Greyskull!
She
bursts into fire which quickly subsides and she is once again wearing her blaze
armor but this time she has the red crystal flame inlaid with an iron cross on
her chest plate.
Wildcat: I have the power! Wow... so this is what the
full power of the blaze armor is like. But how, and why me? Oh, I understand-
that makes sense.
He-Man: Who are you talking to?
Wildcat: My sword, it's communicating with me, it
says that it chose me as its master because I needed it more than any of us who
could wield it. The sorceress received her power back as well as the added
power of the frost armor...
The
sword of power floats back over to He-Man and he takes it.
Wildcat: ...you have the sword of power, and none of
the others would be able to wield it, because they were not exposed to it in
its natural state. What? N-no, I can't do that- I won't do that!
He-Man: What is it, what is the sword telling you to
do?
Wildcat: It, it wants me to return the power! Oh
Kevvie I-I can't do that, I can't turn back into that cheerleader! (to the
sword) I trust you but this is- I-
Wildcat
looks at He-Man and over to the others before returning her gaze to the red
sword she holds in her hand.
Wildcat: Okay... I'll trust you.
She
holds the sword up into the air as a tear rolls down the side of her face.
Wildcat: Let the power return!
Once
again she bursts into flames and when they recede Britney is standing where
wildcat was. Britney gives everyone a confused look then stares at the sword in
her hand.
He-Man: Uh, Britney?
Britney
grins then jumps into He-Man's arms.
Britney: C'mere babe!
She
and He-Man share a long deep kiss then she pulls away.
Britney: ...and call me Kat.
Cut
to the barn: Skeletor has been chained to a pole that once held a scarecrow,
which lies on the ground at Skeletor's feet, and is surrounded by the masters.
Skeletor: This is humiliating, beaten by a
group of kids.
He-Man: Hey Jodie, is this spell going to take much
longer, bone head here is starting to annoy me.
Across
the field the Sorceress is busy opening a portal, through it we can see a grey,
desolate wasteland.
Sorceress: Almost ready.
Wildcat
steps out from behind Skeletor.
Wildcat: So, whatcha planning on doing once we get
your new place all set up?
Skeletor: Why I plan on heading straight back here
to finish you all off. One by one.
Sorceress: I don't think so Skeletor, see now that I
have my power back and then some my senses have been enhanced and I sense that
you are way weaker that when you first showed up here. Maybe even weaker than
the last time you were exiled. Well I'm all done, would you please do the honor
He-Man.
He-Man: My pleasure. Good-bye Skeletor.
Jane: ...and please do forget to write.
He-Man
pulls up the whole post and throws it and Skeletor into the portal which closes
up behind him.
Jane: Well, as fun as this has been I'm going to
sleep for a week, maybe two. Oh and thanks again for the quick heal job Jodie,
I never liked hospitals and I wouldn't want to have to explain what happened.
Sorceress: It's cool; you just have to help me out
on my next school event.
Jane: Ah yeah, like that's going to happen. See Ya.
Sorceress: Wait, what about him.
She
points over at Trent who has fallen asleep against the side of the barn.
Jane: He'll been fine I'll come back in his car and
pick him up later.
Daria: I guess I have to go home to family court;
I'll probably be grounded for years.
Jane: Not with those handy dandy wings of yours
amiga. So how about a lift back home?
Daria
looks annoyed.
Daria: How about a three mile drop?
Jane: Hey it was just a suggestion...
The
two friends walk off together.
Mack: Couldn't you have just teleported them home?
Sorceress: Yes, but I think they want to take their
time. Well You two ready to go?
Wildcat: Almost.
She
and He-Man hold up their swords.
He-Man & Wildcat: Let the power
return!
He-Man
is struck by lightning while Wildcat burst into flames and a second later Kevin
and Britney stand in their place.
Kevin: Lets go Brit-
Britney: I told you to call me Kat, babe.
Sorceress: So where to?
Kevin: Brit- uh Kat's house, I can walk
from there.
Sorceress: Okay.
She
raises her staff and a portal opens up and the front of Britney's house is
seen. Kevin and Britney step through the portal and it closes behind them.
Sorceress: Okay, all that's left is to check on the
others then we can go home.
They
walk into the barn quietly as to not wake up the sleeping
Sorceress: Oh my god!
Mack: What the hell?
Cut
to: a dark chamber - two large silver robotic guards with a red and black bat
symbol step into a lighted circle. Between them they carry a chained person
wearing a purple cloak - it's Skeletor. They drop him into the light then turn
and reenter the darkness. Skeletor gets onto his knees and looks up at a large
ominous throne upon which sets someone half hidden by shadows.
Voice from the Throne: Ah, so it is you... When the
portal was opened I did not know what to expect, but when I senses a being with
a high level of power, a being I could use, I redirected that portal here. I
had no idea that it was you, Skeletor. This promises to be most interesting. Guards
hold him; Shadow Weaver... bind his power.
From
the darkness the robotic guards step back out of the darkness and pick up
Skeletor. Then from the right a woman in a violet garb that hides her face in
darkness emerges, her hands begin to glow red as she approaches him.
Shadow Weaver: As you command, Lord Mordak.
Skeletor: (weakly) M-Mordak? No, no stay
away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The
sick sad world theme begins followed by its logo. As the narrator speaks an
artist reconstruction of Daria and the Sorceress in flight and Jane clashing
swords with a demon appears onscreen.
Narrator: Are angels and demons openly battling each
other on the earth. That's what these four firefighters claim they witnessed.
Four
nervous-looking firefighters appear onscreen for a few seconds and then they
are replaced by the Sick, Sad World logo again.
Narrator: Holy Battlefield: Earth, next on sick, sad
world!
Cut
to: Daria and Jane - Jane stands at her easel paintbrush centimeters from the canvas
dripping paint. Daria lays on the bed staring at the TV,
in shock she lets the remote drop form her hand.
Jane: Okay, how do we explain this one?
