I am Adam, Prince of Eternia.

Defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

-Fabulous-- -[lasers zapping]

[grunting, growling]

[cackles, growls]

By the Power of Grayskull...

[electrification]

...I have the Power!

[mysterious music playing]

Huh?

The Great Council is in.

Captain Randor?

Ah. Captain Randor.

Please forgive the intrusion.

Keldor and his forces are moving on the capital.

Yes, we know.

We were just discussing--

You know? You must evacuate.

If Keldor's forces breach the Hall of Wisdom,

you will be vanquished

and all the power of Eternia will be his.

[loud thud]

Your forces will defeat him.

And you, Randor, as king,

shall rule Eternia in our place.

King?

I'm merely a soldier.

[screams]

Battle position!

[grunts]

[yelling]

How long I've waited for this, Randor.

[grunts, screams]

[shouts]

[screaming]

[screeches]

[laughing]

[screams]

[yelling]

It ends here, Keldor.

It would appear so.

But appearances can be deceiving!

[intense music playing]

[Keldor screams]

In the name of Eternia,

I arrest you

-for crimes against the-- -My face!

No.

Retreat!

[shouting]

Pursue them.

Council members?

[Sorceress] Gone.

Your men shall succeed

in pushing the forces of evil

back to the Dark Hemisphere.

Peace will come to Eternia, but only for a time.

And then?

[Sorceress] A hero shall emerge to protect Eternia.

How will I know this hero?

How will I know this hero? [echoing]

[thudding]

-[thud] -[grunts]

[chuckles]

I guess I should take it easy on you, Adam.

After all, it is your birthday.

Don't do me any favors, Teela.

[grunts]

Teela sure can joust.

Yes, she's come a long way.

Maybe if you paid more attention to my father's training,

you wouldn't have fallen for the oldest trick in the book.

I got a few tricks of my own.

[grunts] New ride.

[laughs] Me too.

Upgrade!

Me too.

[upbeat music playing]

Watch and learn.

Hey. Behind you.

Yeah, like I'm gonna fall for...

[grunts] Whoa, whoa!

Prince Adam!

You all right?

Uh, yeah.

Thanks, Stratos.

You need to work harder on your fundamentals, Adam.

Even the Prince needs to train.

Come on, guys, lighten up.

All this battle training is just fun and games.

Prince Adam, should the forces of evil attack...

What forces of evil?

My father and the Defenders drove them away years ago.

They're history.

Perhaps.

[enchanting music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[bats screech]

Must you bring Vermin in here?

It's not Vermin, Evil-Lyn.

It's an ecto-eel.

Actually, I was talking to the ecto-eel.

[buzzing]

[clanging loudly]

What does he want now?

I hear he's come up with a device

to destroy the Mystic Wall.

Like I never heard that one before.

Aah!

[yells]

[growling]

What was that, Beast Man?

Nothing.

So many years, so many failures.

But at last, I have the key to success.

What is it?

[Skeletor] This device is designed to cause

a massive quake

strong enough to breach that cursed Mystic Wall.

[screams]

Don't touch!

It lacks a crucial ingredient.

The Coridite Crystal from the deepest reaches of the Sea of Rakash.

It's taken two years to locate.

But any moment now...

Ah.

[indistinct mumbling]

Two years to find a crystal?

You could have taken an extra ten minutes to clean up.

Hey!

[Panthor growls]

[Skeletor] Once I obliterate the Mystic Wall,

I will hunt down and destroy the Council Elders.

The power of Eternia will finally be mine.

[cackling]

[indistinct chatter, shouting]

[trumpet playing out of tune]

[drums beating]

I'm begging you, Orko.

You've given me a headache.

[chuckles] Not a music lover, huh, Ram-Man?

Okay, how about something with more pazazz?

For your entertainment and amazement,

I will turn this simple pudding into, uh...

Ah... Aah...

Oh, wrong spell.

[shrieks]

[crowd murmuring]

[slurps]

Mmm! Trollin' tapioca.

What a wonderful celebration.

Would be more wonderful if Adam would honor us with his presence.

It is his party.

Oh, Randor.

I'm sure he'll be along any minute.

He's probably taking extra care in dressing for the occasion.

[Teela] Found him.

He was napping in the stairs.

[cheering and applauding]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, I, uh, didn't miss the cake, did I?

Hey, it's not working.

-Try pushing the button. -[thunder crashes]

Oh, yeah, yeah. But...

-Right. -[button clicks]

Uh, maybe we shouldn't have...

[all screaming]

[grunting]

[clang]

[people chattering]

-[rumbling] -[people shrieking]

-[people chatter] -[woman] What is it?

It's all right. Just a small tremor.

-[people sigh and murmur] -Nothing to worry about.

[beeping]

Ah, see that?

My Doomseeker detected a crack.

A crack? Ah, big deal.

We were supposed to knock it down.

[Skeletor] Fools!

A single crack is sufficient to weaken the wall.

Now we know where to apply the pressure.

Let me add it.

[banging]

[growling]

[Evil-Lyn] Step aside, boys.

A change is at hand.

Make this wall turn to dust.

Its utter destruction is an absolute must!

[explosions, cracking]

[Skeletor cackling]

Summon the steeds.

[growls]

Back, back, evil beast.

I will not let you harm the princess. Ha ha!

[all laughing]

And now we need a princess.

Are there any volunteers?

[all murmuring]

Anyone?

[in robotic voice] Anyone?

-[laughter] -Teela will do it.

She'll make a great princess. [grunts]

Damsel in distress, I am not.

Okay, okay. Not the princess.

[all laughing]

[Sorceress] Man-At-Arms.

Excuse me.

[Sorceress] You must come at once.

Sir, Orko, you are my hero.

Oh, really? You think so?

It was really nothing.

[growls]

[all laughing]

I need to speak with you.

Uh, sure.

I need you to accompany me to Castle Grayskull immediately.

Castle Grayskull? That broken down?

You'll understand when we get there. Quickly.

Oh, I get it.

You've cooked up some kind of birthday surprise.

[dramatic music playing]

[whooshing]

[groaning]

Where is it?

Oh, please, I-- I'm just a merchant.

I don't know what it... [grunts]

[Skeletor] The Hall of Wisdom.

Where is it?

It stood here on this very ground.

[grunting] I thought everybody

had disappeared years ago.

One day it was here, and then vanished.

And the Council of Elders?

Huh? Gone.

The great and powerful Council of Elders

cannot have simply disappeared.

I will find them.

They're out there.

Somewhere.

[people chattering]

I'd like to offer a toast to my son, Adam,

on this, his 16th...

[people murmuring]

Oh, never mind.

[engines whirring, lowering down]

So this is Castle Grayskull?

Could use a coat of paint.

[bird screeches]

[rattling]

[thud]

[thunder crashing]

[thunder crashing]

[bird screeches]

Welcome, Prince Adam.

I have known that this day would arrive,

but did not think it would be so soon.

[Prince Adam] Same day every year.

Next time, I'll be sure you get an invitation.

She's not talking about my birthday, is she?

[Sorceress] Many years ago, your father and Man-At-Arms

defeated Keldor's forces

and drove them back to Snake Mountain,

deep within the Dark Hemisphere.

To ensure they remain there,

Man-At-Arms and I created a barrier.

A Mystic Wall.

But fearing that the evil ones might someday break free,

the Council of Elders transformed themselves,

together possessing all the power of Eternia

into a magical orb.

As guardian of Castle Grayskull,

I was to watch over the orb

which lies hidden deep within these walls.

Uh-huh. Okay, thanks.

That's great.

Uh, nice chatting with you. I...

There is more.

It was foretold by the Council

that when the need arose,

a hero would emerge,

who would do justice and love kindness,

and protect Eternia.

And here's Man-At-Arms. Just in time.

You are that hero, Prince Adam.

You shall be transformed into a great warrior.

He-Man, guardian of the secret of Castle Grayskull

and defender of Eternia.

She's, uh, kidding, right?

Some kind of birthday prank.

You see, Prince Adam,

the forces of evil have breached the Mystic Wall--

What?

The Mystic Wall? Give me a break.

We use that thing for target practice.

Couldn't even scratch it.

I do not think you understand!

Look, I'm no great warrior.

I'm just a kid.

Besides, what you're saying is impossible.

Thanks for the magic show.

I got to get back.

Prince Adam.

Talking falcon telling me some crazy story!

No!

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] Next time on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe...

The battle has been joined in the eastern perimeter

of the Evergreen Forest.

I have to go.

[grunts]

[screams]

Father.

[panting]

[Sorceress] Are you ready, Prince Adam?

[heroic music playing]

By the Power of Grayskull!
