Author's Note

A cross with Shadow of Heroe's setting sun of thieves.

Okay so I'm gonna pick a pony to become She-Ra and the future and I wanna know you guy's opinion on who it should,only rule it has to be an adult mare.

Displaced, Castles,and Dat boi

Cringer and I left the front desk of the library and I sat at one of the many tables in the library,while Cringer laid down next to me. I then proceeded to read the book i had gotten from the library hopes of finding useful information on Grayskull’s location.

“Hey Adam what are we going to do when we find Grayskull?” Cringer asked.

“Well I guess we'll ask the sorceress why Skeletor is here and how we send him back.” I replied flipping a page.

“What if we can't bring him back to his world?” Cringer.

“Then I guess we're not going home until we find another way to stop him.” I said flipping another page.

Cringer didn't seem to like that possibility, “ So I guess I’ll have to be Battle Cat again?”

“Yea but you have to turn back into cringer ever so often .” I said continuing to read.

“Why is there a time limit or something?” Cringer asked cocking his head.
“No we can stay transformed for as long as we want ,as long as we don't get hit hard enough to revert our transformation.” I said turning another page.

“So why did you say I have to turn back?” Cringer asked.

“According to He-man lore, because Battle Cat is half dragon he will go on a rampage if he stays transformed for to long.” I said grimincing a bit before turning another page.

“How long is too long?”Cringer asked worriedly.

“I'm not sure but I don't think it's much over a day or two.” I said. “ It could be less the lore doesn't specify how long you can stay in that form.”

“Oh joy.” Cringer griminced.

Suddenly I felt something smack into the side of my face.
“Ow! What the hell was that!?” I asked rubbing my cheek.

“Look Adam it's some sort of orange crystal!” Cringers said pawing at said crystal.

“Cool let me see!” I said picking up the crystal.

As I held the crystal a voice called out. “I, Zidane Tribal ,one of the heroes of light, will aid you in any fight against a fiend ,or if you need something.. Let's say liberated. Just hold this crystal up to the sun”

“Huh might as well give it try!” Cringer said.

I held the crystal up to the sunlight that was coming from a nearby window and waited a second.

A rift in space opened up and a guy with a monkey tale and a teenage girl with light blue hair came out of it.

“Oh kitty!” The girl said as she ran over to Cringed and started to pet him.

“I like this girl Adam she’s nice.” Cringer purred.

“So you guys are humans! Finally I haven't seen a normal people...wait is the dude with tail a Saiyan?” I asked.

“No i’m not I am a construct that just so happens to have a tail.” The dude with the tail said.

“Oh um cool.” I said, “ I guess I should introduce myself my name’s Adam and this is Cringer.”

“You probably heard my name when you called but for reference.Names Zidane and this is Sonata.” He said pointing to the girl giving a belly rub to Cringer.

“Heh I see she's taken a liking to Cringer but I guess we should get down to business.” I said. “ Right now Cringer and I are looking for a place called Castle Grayskull. Problem is this book is pretty fague on its whereabouts and Skeletor and his goons are bound to strike at any moment.”

“So you're looking for a castle… does it fly or something? Because it hard to lose one.” Sonata asked

“Castle Grayskull safe guards the secrets of the universe and it's said that whoever controls Grayskull has access to infinite power. As for why it's lost, my guess ponies lost interest when they couldn't get past the magic barrier. After all they would have no knowledge of it's actual worth.” I replied.

“Worth you say.” Zidane said rubbing his chin

“Oh yes Grayskull has many priceless artifacts.” I said.

“Have you tried asking around to see if anyone has info on a location?” Zidane asked.

“I tried but these ponies don't seem to like us very much.” I sighed. “ Luckily Castle Grayskull is huge so it shouldn't be hard to find. According to the book it's somewhere to the east of here near those mountains.”

“So-” Another portal opened and a redhead walked out.

“Your not leaving me out of this.” She said pointing her rapier at Zidane.

“Sorry but we were busy training with Yuna.” Zidane said holding his tail.

“Oh um sorry about that.” I said scratching the back of my head. “Nice to meet you miss…?”

“Sunset, just Sunset.” She said as her rapier disappear in a flash of light.

“Anyway, you said it was spotted east from here..” Zidane said letting go of his tail.

“Yea I guess we should get going, If all goes well will make it there in about an hour. Unless you guys have a better mode of transportation?” I asked hopefully.

“I kinda do… let's go outside first.” Zidane said as he took out a yellow feather.

“Okay! See you later Dat Boi!” I said to the unicycling frog.

“Oh shit wat up!” The frog said as we walked to the entrance.

Once outside Zidane held up the feather and a giant yellow bird with a couple of red feathers coming out of the top of its head appeared. “Sorry it’s been too hectic to call you.” Zidane said petting the bird chin.

“Keww.” It said in delight.

“Oh ma gad it's a PIKACHU Cringer I choose you go!!!” I laughed.

Cringer rolled his eyes at this.

“A what? It's a Chocobo even I know that.” Sonata commented not getting the joke.

“It's joke I'll tell you about it later.” I said laughing.

“Anyway, anything we need to be on the lookout for? Other than a giant castle.” Zidane asked helping Sunset on to the Chocobo.

“A skeleton man of questionable sexuality and his weird looking monster men.” I replied. “Oh and a hot as fuck evil sorceress, trust me you'll know them when you see them.”

“Ok then lead the way.” Zidane said as Sunset sat behind him.

“Sonata can ride with me if she wants she doesn't look like much of a walker.” I said hopping on a bird that joined the other one.

“Ok but no funny business, I kinda have a boyfriend.” Sonata said

“Not surprised now let's go.” I said helping her up.

“Thank you kindly.” Sonata said as she got comfy.

Surprisingly the birds were really good at running and before we knew it we were halfway to the mountains. Everything seemed to be going well until a blast of black magic came out of nowhere and slammed me to the ground.

“Ow that hurt.” I groaned trying to stand up.

Sonata jumped off to help. “Are you ok?” She asked as she lended me a hand.

“Im fine.” I said grabbing her hand and hoisting myself up.

“ Cringer over here quick!” I shouted.

“Oh darn it!” Cringer said dashing over over to me reluctantly.

“Gimme sec as while I do something” I said grabbing my sword out of it's holster. The weight of the blade caused it to pull me down a bit as its tip hit the ground.

“Whoa there.” Zidane said stopping right next to me before somersaulting off.

“Show off.” Sunset mumbled as she got down from the bird with rapier at the ready. “Don’t you have a lighter sword,in fact Zidane do you still have that short sword?”

“Gimme a second, I guarantee this sword is better than anything you have.” I say as I heave the blade above my head.

“By the power of Grayskull!” The sword's hilt mechanism split apart turned 90 degrees and clamped back together. The volt lightning struck the blade traveled across my entire body.

There was flash if light and the I stood before them, holding the sword one hand. My muscles were now quite large and my barbarian style armour had now been returned to me.

“I HAVE THE POWER!!!” I declared in my now deeper voice. Before turning the blade on Cringer. A bolt flew from my blade in changed Cringer into the armour clad battle cat.

“Well what do you think?” I asked my companions.

“Flashy.” Sonata said with a small blush.

“A little too flashy.” Zidane added

“Nyh” said voice from behind them.

“Skeletor!” I said readying myself.

“But of course you nimrod! who else?” Skeletor said.

“I don’t know maybe a goblin mage and his skeleton companion.” Zidane said with a smirk as he summoned his daggers.

“What's that furry monkey!” Skeletor growled shaking his fists, “Beastman,Trapjaw attack!”

Beastman and his cyborg like ally charged the group.

“Alright let's get this over with!” I said swinging at Skeletor only for beastman’s whip to wrap around the blade.

Sunset threw a ball of fire hitting Beastman in the rear. “You should be careful on who you turn your back on.” She said with a smirk.

“You bitch I'll teach you some manners!” Beastman said whipping at the young woman.Only for me to pick him up and throw him into the horizon.

“That's something you don't see everyday.” Sonata said watching Beastman blast off.

“Well, when your strong enough to pick up a mountain you get to do some crazy shit.” I said before turning to see Zidane had stolen Trapjaw’s gun arm attachment.

“Whao your kinda made of cheap stuff.” Zidane comment as he tossed the arm up and down before using it against Trapjaw,knocking Trapjaw to the ground.

“Ouch,um Skeletor can we go now?” Trapjaw.

“Ergh fine I wasn't expecting him to have reinforcements beastman!.....oh,right...RUN! TRAPJAW! RUN!!!” Skeletor said as they fled.

“After them they might know where Grayskull is!” I shouted as we ran after them.

“I don't think we're fast enough to outrun them master!” Trapjaw said.

“Oh don't worry Trapjaw I don't have to be faster than them, I just have to be faster than you!” Skeletor said.

“Wait what!” Trapjaw said before Skeletor tripped him.

“Well well well,looks like your master has gone and abandoned you.” I said grabbing Trapjaw.

“Now what do you know about Grayskull?” Battlecat asked.

“The king or the castle?” Trapjaw asked.

I brought him closer to Battle Cat who took a swipe at him.

“Ok OK! It's in a mountain pass near the foot of the mountain about 5 miles from here please don't eat me!” He told Battle Cat.

“Anything else?” I asked.

“Um ,no I wasn't really paying attention when Lord Skeletor was talking about it, after we found it.” Trapjaw said.

I looked at him for a second “Hey Trapjaw have you ever wanted to go to the moon?”

“Yea some day!” He said excitedly.

“Why wait!?” I asked as I chucked him to the moon.

“And he’s out of here.” Sonata said watching Trapjaw disappear from view.

“That was harsh.” Sunset said

“Hey at least he didn't straight up kill him.” Zidane said pocketing the arm.

“Yea Skeletor will probably just teleport him back.” I said.

“Let the power return!” I said as I raised my sword once more reverting Cringer and I back to normal.

“Did you get what direction to go?” Zidane asked

“He looked in it's direction so…. northeast.” I said as I heaved the blade back into its sheath. “Oh by the way could you teach me that fire thing you did,sunset?”

“I could try, but don't we need to find this castle first?” Sunset asked while she dismissed her weapon

“Right back to the birds.” I said

One 90s Segway later

“Well there it is Castle Grayskull!” I said pointing to the structure.

It had a basic castle design with four tours and four walls with a skull shaped front wall,but the real eye catcher was the its size and the chasm surrounding it.

“Watch your step the chasm below us doesn't have a bottom.” I said as we walked up the bridge shaped hill ,that closest to the entrance.

Sonata kicked a rock into the chasm and listened to see if it was bottomless. “Yep you're right.” She nodded

“Yep, now one second while I open the drawbridge.” I said unsheathing my sword and carefully pointing it towards the drawbridge, struggling a bit with the weight.

“My the power of Grayskull,I command the jawbridge open!!!” I said.

There was a crack of lightning and the drawbridge descended giving it the appearance of a giant jaw.

I sheathed the blade again and we walked onto the bridge.

“Man this place looks huge.” Zidane said looking around as they passed through the doorway. They soon passed a statue that looked like Adam's transformed state and Sonata stopped to look at it.

“Oh you found the statue of King Grayskull.” I said standing by her. “You know I get all my power and skill from him when I transform, that's why I can fight so well.”

“Indeed Adam it seems you have great understanding of your powers.” A voice said from behind them.

We all turned to see a winged woman in gold falcon like armour standing in front of them staff in hand.

“And who may you be?” Sunset asked eyeing the woman.

“I'm simply known as the sorceress,and I am the keeper of Grayskull and all of it's secrets.” She said smiling “ and I sense you wish to become a great summoner.”

“Well yes she does. What? do you have any information on it that I can't find?” Sonata asked getting Sunset to give her a death stare.

She smiled and tapped the ground with her staff. Suddenly a huge dragon appeared behind her.

“You called me my mistress.” The dragon asked.

“Yes Bahamut I wished to demonstrate my skill with summoning.” She said with smile. “Now then,the library of Grayskull is open to you ,for I sense no ill will from you, except you young Zidane you are to stay away from the artifacts. For Bahamut will make sure you do so.”

“That hurts me, why do you think i’d do such a thing?” Zidane asked feeling a little hurt.

“I am skilled in telepathy and from what I gather from your memories you are skilled thief.” She said simply.

“Fine..” Zidane said putting his hands behind his head.

“Well then I suppose I should show you to the library” She said floating down one of the halls.

“Sorceress why is Skeletor in this world and by extension you?” I asked as I catched up with her.

“I am afraid I do not know. Castle Grayskull and I were sent here through a portal millennium ago and Skeletor has only recently found his way to this world.” She said glumly.

“Is there a way to send him back.” I asked.

“Not that I know of.” She said “ But it is not all bad I have made new friend!” She said with a bemused smile as she opened the doors to the huge library.

“Oh! hi Miss Sorceress who are these guys.” A tan pegasus with a grey streaks in her mane said.

“Hello, Miss Yearling these are some adventures that have helped return the guardian of Grayskull to us.” The sorceress said.

“Oh that's good I was just reading this book on eternian history.” Yearling said showing us the book. “ I can't believe that there's so many books here.”

“ Yes in this library is every book to exist in both our universes.” The sorceress sighed.

“So there are books on summoning in here?” Sunset asked.

“2,156 to be exact , yes.” The sorceress said sitting in one of the chairs.

Without saying a word Sunset started to browse the shelves.

“She doesn't talk that much when she’s in the zone.” Zidane said taking a seat.

“Understandable, we all have our passions.” The sorceress said.

“Well I better get going see again tomorrow, Sorceress!” Yearling said flying out the window.

“Take care dear.” The sorceress said giving yearling a motherly smile.

“So what now,we just hang?” I asked.

“Perhaps you should practice battle magic,there out plenty of books about it in this library.” The sorceress said.

“Eh why not?” I said walking down an aisle.

“Hey wait do you know what a token is?” Zidane asked running after me.

“A what?” I stopped to ask.

“You know that crystal that you used to call me here, well that's my token. It's used so other displaced like me and you can call for help or just talk.” Zidane said

“Oh okay I don't have any crystals though.” I said.

“It can be anything that represent you.” Zidane said taking a book of the shelve and started to skim through it

“hmm well there's only one thing that represents me.” I said taking out my sword.

“That can work, you just focus on it and make a message that someone would hear. Then toss it into the void, don't worry it just makes a copy of it.” Zidane said putting the book back

“Okay so here goes…. I am Adam defender of the secrets of Grayskull. If you have need of my strength then simply hold this blade to the sky and say “by the power of Grayskull”.” I said. A giant portal appeared and I tossed the sword into it. A few seconds later my sword fell back at my feet.

“Okay I guess we just wait until sunset’s ready to go.” I said.

“That won't be for a few hours or longer.” Zidane said shaking his head.

“Well then we better get comfortable.” I said.

Yet another 90s Segway (this one extra gay)

“Well I guess this is goodbye guys, hope to see you again soon!” Cringer said with a smile.

“May you have a good journey.” The Sorceress said.

“Adios Amigos!” I said.

“It was a good break from training so if you need my help just call ok.” Zidane said with a smile

“Im going to miss you kitty.” Sonata rubbed the back of cringer’s ear.

“Thanks for letting me read those books.” Sunset said.

“You are most welcome my dear.” The Sorceress.

“Anyway,to send us back just say our contract is up.” Zidane said.

“Our contract is complete.” I said causing them to fade and disappear.

“Welp I guess we'll be bunking with you eh?” I asked the sorceress.

“It appears so.” She replied with a smile.
