He-man and the masters of equestria!
A small problem at snake mountain
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTrapjaw aimed the blaster at He-man and shot a large energy blast from it. Before it could hit he-man, he vaulted into the air and landed behind him. Trapjaw turned around to face He-man only to get knocked into the pit with a well placed punch. Beastman charged He-man with his arms outstretched to grab him, but fell into the hole as well when He-man simply stepped aside.
“I thought you guys were supposed to be trained warriors or something?” He-man laughed.
“Laugh while ya can, asshole!” Trapjaw said trying to push Beastman off him.
“Well-oof.” He-man began before something hit him from behind and knocking him unconscious.
“It appears that even you are not immune to the element of surprise.” Will Lyn sneered as she deactivated her invisibility spell.
She then levitated Beastman and Trapjaw out of the pitt.
“What are you doing here?!” Trapjaw demanded.
“I'm here to make sure you two idiots don't fail...again.” Evil Lyn said.
“Okay well, what do we do with He-man now that we've beat him?” Beastman asked.
“Isn't it obvious? He holds great magical power, power that we could use to conquer Grayskull.” She replied.
“So we're gonna take his power?” Beastman asked gleefully.
“Indeed, but we will have to take him to snake mountain first.” Evil Lynn said before creating a portal with her staff, “ Beastman grab He-man and let us depart, Trapjaw stay here and acquire the artifact.”
And with that Evil Lyn and Beastman walked through the portal with a unconscious He-man in their possession.
Meanwhile at Grayskull
A portal opens up and Cringer steps out with singed fur.
“Dragons fucking dragons! I hate Dragons!” He declared in anger,” Adam? Did you do the hero thing yet?”
“I'm afraid he has been taken captive.” The Sorceress saif as she walked in.
“What! What are we gonna do.” Cringer panicked.
“I'm sure we'll think if something.” The sorceress said thinking for a bit.
It was then that Cringer noticed a strange stone near the entrance of the room.
“Hey Sorceress what's that?” Cringer said pointing at the large stone with his paw.
“Hmm… I don't know I've never seen it before.” She said with a perplexed look.
Cringer went up and touched it causing sweet and soft melody to play from it.
Cringer smiled and hummed the tune.
The room was filled with eerie silent until it was broken by the sound of a howling wolf.
To the utter bewilderment of the Sorceress and Cringer something dramatic happened.
Energy within the eye of the stone started to swirl with wind magic, and before any of the two could question what was going on, a spectral wolf leaped out from the center of the stone and landed in front of them. There that stood before the two, was a transparent wolf with his upper furr covered in red, fading to green then grey as it traveled down his body. In the center of its forehead was a symbol reminded Cringer of the sign of Din similar to the one on the three stoners from wind waker. Other than his coloration, he looked a little battleworn judging from the scars across its face, its damaged right ear, and the discolored lighter dark on his chest. Both ears had dark blue earrings that matched the glowing eyes.
“Wow he looks like Link’s wolf form from Twilight Princess.” Cringer said with whistle.
“Come again?” The sorceress asked.
“An old game Adam used to play.” Cringer said. “So um hi wolf guy.”
“Can you understand my language or are you more of a tame tiger?” The wolf asked in a soft echoing voice.
“I can understand you perfectly.” Cringer replied.
“Good, this will save me time without needing to leap into your head to speak with you.” the wolf said as he looked around the room, finding it a little familiar in his eyes, especially Cringer and the sorceress.
“Um, I hate to ask but are you a displaced?” Cringer asked the wolf.
“Indeed I am, I’m assuming you are as well? Or…” the wolf looked around again. “..Is a certain He-Man the actual Displaced? I knew you two looked a little memorable, by Farore’s love it’s been a long time since I saw that cartoon..”
“It's actually both, I used to be his cat.” Cringer said fondly remembering his favorite corner to nap in.
“I believe we have more pressing matters to attend, tell me Noble wolf can you fight?” The Sorceress asked.
“I can in quite a number of styles depending on my form, why do you ask?” the wolf said.
“I'm afraid that He-man has been taken captive by the forces of darkness, and as we speak, they are attempting to strip him of his power and use it for their own twisted gains.” The sorceress said glumly.
The wolf had to raise his eyebrow at that. “I thought the sword was the source of power and even if they do drain him, he can gain it back, right?”
“The sword is merely an instrument to channels his power and as for gaining it back yes, but the power would still be in the hands of evil.” The Sorceress said.
The wolf snorted in annoyance. “A hero’s work is never done.” he said with a sigh before directing his attention to Cringer. “I’ve seen enough, I believe this should be enough for passed judgement.” he said before suddenly leaping into the tiger’s head. Only three seconds had passed before the room was filled with a gentle light. Now there was something left in the room, the one Cringer knew was Link, although a little different other than the battlescars, he was wearing a red cloak and hood with his green cap missing, but his iconic green tunic was with him under the cloak. His Master Sword was strapped to his left with his hyrule shield on his back.
“That blade it is quite similar to the sword of power.” The Sorceress said, “I sense that it hold great power over light.”
“Well it is evil's bane.” Cringer said.
“The bane of evil, interesting such craftsmanship is rare, in fact it's almost godly.” She commented.
“You are right in that assumption, Mrs. Sorcerous. It was crafted by a goddess known as Hylia.” the hylian said before chuckling when she compared it to He-man’s sword. “Only difference is it doesn’t make me buff like him.”
“Indeed, well in that case I suppose I shall make a portal to the foot of snake mountain, unfortunately due to the magical defenses of the mountain I can not bring inside it.” She sighed. “But before you go take this.”
She opened a smaller portal causing the sword of power to float through it and into her hand.
“I trust that one of you can carry the blade to its wielder.” She smiled outstretching it.
“I don't want anything to do with it.” Cringer huffed.
“You don’t like becoming a stronger version of yourself, huh?” Link asked Cringer as the hylian took the blade of power from her. It shrinks down in size as Link places it into one of the pouches strapped on the back of his waist. “They’ll be clueless of where it is and they’ll have one hell of Din’s wrath of a time to even get inside of it.” he said with a smile.
“Alright let's go rescue Adam!” Cringer said as the sorceress opened the portal.
Link pulled his hood back to keep his face hidden within the darkness, the hylian reaches into his pouch and pulls out golden gauntlets with a red gem, he places it over his leather ones. “I don’t want to take any chances if any of them is stronger than me.” he said as he drew his sword and shield, the blade of evil’s bane gleaming in the light.
“Good call, one of them is a cyborg.” Cringer said as the appeared at the foot of Snake Mountain.
“A cyborg? Well now, talk about non lore friendly considering the timeline.” Link said jokingly.
Cringer laughed as they began to climb the mountain.
“So Link, do pony's give you weird looks and ignore you, like us?” Cringer asked.
“Well, most of them were friendly toward me, but the ones in canterlot didn’t trust me at all.” Link answered as he looked around the area for any signs of danger.
“Really? It's seems like pony's either run in terror or completely ignore us.” Cringer said, “ Like we went to this one town near a forest that had giant tree house, and everyone just locked themselves inside their houses and didn't come out. So we went to Canterlot cuz we were looking for directions to Grayskull.” Cringer said as they continued.
“Ah, the timeline must be before Trixie arrived.” Link said as he shook his head. “Don’t worry, give them some time and they’ll open up, not unless your Celestia has some xenophobia.”
“Who's Celestia? is she important?” Cringer asked.
“She’s one of the two princess that rule over Equestria.” Link explained. The hylian was easily climbing with little effort thanks to the golden gauntlets enchantments.
“Huh, I guess we should try and avoid them, don't want to get mixed up in politics.” Cringer said.
“That would be for the best, they might be different compared to my Celestia and Luna.” Link commented.
“Hey, I smell someone.” Cringer said before haunching down. The hylian did the same and kept his form low and hidden.
They crept and saw Beastman digging holes for no apparent reason.
“I love holes, I love holes, I love every kind of hole” He sang as he dug.
“What. the. fuck.” Cringer whispered.
“I’d hate to see how he’d react to a female hole..” Link commented in a whisper alongside a mental cringe at his thoughts.
“God damnit not i can't stop think about...that!” Cringer yelled.
Beastman whirled around and saw them.
“Oh hello!” He said before going back to digging.
“...One track mind.” Link commented in a whisper.
“No, he's just an idiot.” Cringer whispered as they walked past him.
They soon snuck into the room containing He-man. He-man was chained up from the ceiling as two ball towered on either side of him drained energy from his body.
“Yes, soon your power will be mine!” Skeletor cackled before his attention to an amulet with an alicorn emblazoned upon it.
“A shame that only reacts to ponies.” He said as he picked up. “No matter perhaps I shall just sell it some miserable shopkeeper in need an item of interest.”
With Skeletor distracted by his evil self-monologuing, Link takes this moment to place his sword and shield on the ground careful, then reached back to pulled out a bow and arrow. He carefully takes aim as the tip of the arrow hums to life with magic, once fully charged with Light, he allows the arrow to fly true toward Skeletor. It hit Skeletor dead on flinging him into the wall. Cringer then lept forth and pinned Skeletor down while he was dazed.
“Free He-man so we can get out of here!” Cringer said as he struggled to keep Skeletor pinned.
Quickly sheathing his equipment, he pulled out the Megaton Hammer. With a mighty powerful scream and a strong battlecry, he swung his hammer into one of the ball towers. The tower exploded causing the other one to malfunction and explode, the force of these explosions knocked the chains sending He-man hurling to the ground.
“Oooh that hurt.” He-man said as she struggled to his feet.
Link quickly pulled the sword of power from out of his pocket dimension of a pouch and handed it to He-man, once the warrior grabbed hold of the sword and took it. The hylian turned his attention toward Skeletor.
Skeletor blasted Cringer off him and into a wall.
“Damn it, By the power of Grayskull!” He-man said raising his blade, restoring his lost strength and then transforming Cringer into Battle Cat.
Link drew his own weapon as it shun with pure energy. The hylian kept his face hidden within the cloak as he ready himself with his hylian shield.
“Err begone!” Skeletor said opening a portal behind them before shouting, ”Fus Roh Dah!” Suddenly they were thrown through the portal by an unknown force.
“Well Skeletor is Dragonborn, didn't see that coming.” He-man said reverting back to adam as he and Cringer stood up.”
“No, anyone can use that shout, even the greybeards. It does make me wonder where he even learned it.. Is he a Displaced too?” Link asked as he got up with a groan. “To be honest, I expected a lot of security, I suppose his ignorance as his downfall.”
“Yea and guess he could be displaced but I have no idea if that's the case or not.” He-man pondered.
“You may want to try being more prepared as Displaced are capable of anything if he manages to meet more.” Link frowned as he had a thought. “Especially if he gains any instant death spells, he probably has Marked For Death if he went the distance.”
“Yea, I've been learning battle magic like fireball.” He-man said.
“You oughta look into finding someone who can teach you the art of spellcraft, either that or learn how to manipulate the void energy within you to do the same effect but with some dangerous results.” Link suggested as he sheathed the master sword and placed his shield onto his back.
“Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I'll ask the sorceress to teach me.” Adam said with a smile.
“How’d you even get captured anyhow?” Link asked as he removed the golden gauntlets and placed it back into his pouch.
“Um, well I kinda let my guard down, and Evil Lyn sneak attacked me.” Adam blushed.
“That’s a bit insulting to a man of your power.” Link said as he shook his head in disbelief. “I mean really, you hold power that can even lift castle greyskull..”
“I know, I need to be more careful, I think she might of had some magic to knock me out, if I was paying attention it probably would have failed.” Adam said.
“Just be more careful.” Link said, the hylian looked like he wanted to say more, but a glance around made him reconsider it as there may be spies or magical spells in the air watching them.
“Well, I guess this is where we say goodbye, thanks if you ever need my help just call.” Adam said with smile.
“Have a backup plan if this ever happens again.” Link said as he pointed at a necklace that had appeared around Cringer’s neck since he was the one who summoned him first. “Just sing whatever tone its playing and i’ll be here.”
“Thanks Link, our contract is complete.” Cringer said with a smile. With those words spoken, Link was surrounded by a blue crystal as it started to spin around, then blinked out of existence.
