Episode 3
"Farewell to a friend"

Ami tried to awake Serena, but the force field surrounding her was too
powerful, Twi got close  to see if he could help.

-Moon healing activate ! ! !

A white energy came from the gargoyle’s staff but the aura created by
Evil-in’s spell blocked it, He-Man entered the room and suggested to 
take Serena to Castle Grayscull so Sorceress could try to help her, 
once there Sorceress had bad news.

-I’m sorry...Evil-in’s spell is too powerful, even I can’t break it, but
she must be awoke fast, otherwise she will never wake up again.

-What can we do ? - asked Ami

-The only way to break the spell is by getting Evil-in’s magical scepter
and touch her with it.

-We will go for it, where can we find this Evil-in you mention ?

Sorceress walked towards a mirror and showed the girls how to get to the
snake mountain.

-Beware, the way will be full of dangers.

-We will help them.

He-Man and She-ra assured, after that the Sailor Scouts, Gargoyles along
with He-Man and She-ra started to walk, they arrived to a weird forest in 
which some flowers where huge.

-Be careful -He-man said- Some of this are flesh-eating plants.

They continued walking, a green tentacle crawled behind them, suddenly
Sailor Venus screamed as her body was trapped by it and lifted in the air.

-LET ME GO ! ! ! Venus Crescent beam ! ! ! blast ! !

The blast impacted the plant causing no damage to it, to Sailor Venus’s
horror a sort of tongue started to caress her leg, she saw what was below 
her and saw a huge flower, she started to struggle when she felt herself 
being lowered to it, He-man throwed his sword to cut the tentacle and She-ra 
turned hers into a rope to pull her towards her.

-You OK ?

-Ye...yeah...thanks...

 They continued their way, Twilite and Broadway glided above them,
unknown to them some creatures where following them, suddenly they jumped on 
the one who was the last in the group, Sailor Mars, their attack was so fast 
and silent that nobody noticed a thing,meanwhile Sailor Mars struggled to get 
free, after a short but brutal trip on the trees, they arrived to a cave, in 
there she was tied up to a rock, after which the creatures
retreated, Rei tried to set free, suddenly she heard a roar, seconds
later, in front of her a huge spider appeared, the monster stood in front of 
her for several moments, then started to probe her with one of her hairy legs, 
but suddenly she heard something that shocked her.

-MOON TIARA MAGIC ! ! !

A tiara flew in the air, releasing her from the rock, once free she used
her Mars fire to destroy the spider and return to her friends who where 
already searching for her,  but before, she searched for her savior, unfortunately 
nothing was to be found, in snake mountain Skeletor was aware of them.

-Your friends are on their way here, little one, Trap-Jaw ! ! ! Prepare
a reception for them.

-Yes Skeletor.

-You’re mean ! ! ! -Screamed Renee

-HAHAHA I know and I love it, NOW BE QUIET ! ! !

Meanwhile in the forest the rest of the Scouts were supprised with Rei’s
story.

-You’re actually saying that Serena appeared out of nowhere to save you?

-Right Mina, but it’s weird...she couldn’t have been...

While they talked Ami tried to move a piece of  wood that blocked the
way, Twilite sensed danger but before he could reach her a strange insect 
bite her hand.

-Ami ! ! You OK ?

-Yeah Twi, don’t...you....wo...rry...

Ami’s limp body falled on Twi’s arms.

-Ami ? AMI WAKE UP ! !

She-Ra got to them and checked Ami’s hand.

-It was a black mantis, the antidote is a plant called lilandra, but...

-But what ?

-It has been extinct for several years...

Twilite hugged Ami.

-Ami...God no...please...not her...

But the unthinkable happened...

-Moon Healing Activate...

A bright light engulfed Ami and then she opened her eyes.

-Twi...

-Ami...thank God...but...who did this ?

They searched for the source of the energy but again nothing was found,
they continued their way, hours later the figure of the Snake Mountain 
appeared before them.

-There it is. Snake Mountain, Skeletor’s Fortress. - He-man announced

-It’s incredible...how do we get in ? -Ami asked.

For any answer He-Man hitted the wall and a hole was opened, they
entered the place,but as soon as they did a legion of robots appeared and 
started to attack them, He-Man and She-Ra battled a majority of them, 
the Sailor Scouts also fought but their inexperience on that kind of fight 
noticed when a laser blast impacted Rei’s leg, in the
end they were able to win, Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter had to carry
Rei, they continued their way inside, there was a moment when Trap Jaw stood
behind them he aimed his gun at Sailor Jupiter, Brook saw the bright of his 
gun and pushed her away, unfortunately he was unable to get out of way, the 
laser blast passed through his body, Lita runned to aid him.

-Brook ! ! ! God no...

-L...Lita....I....love you....sorry...we...couldn’t...be together...a
little longer...

-No...you’ll be OK...

-No Lita...I...go now...Twi...

With tears on his eyes the gargoyle got closer.

-Promise me...you’ll...protect...Lita...like...like...you
do...with...Ami...

-Sure pal...I...will...

Brook caressed Lita’s face, then with a smile on his face his eyes
closed for the last time.

-NO ! ! ! BROOK ! ! ! DON’T GO ! ! !

Twilite holded Lita who lost it totally, it took the combined effort of
all the Sailor Scouts and Twi to take Lita away from Brook’s corpse, minutes 
later they arrived to the throne room where Skeletor was waiting for them, 
upon seeing him Lita snapped and runned towards him.

-YOU’LL PAY FOR KILLING BROOK ! ! ! !

-Sailor Jupiter wait ! ! ! -Ami screamed

Skeletor pointed his staff at her and a blast emerged from it...
