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!

♪ He-Man, He-Man And the Masters of the Universe ♪

Any more brilliant ideas?

I've learned that Stratos is meeting

with Buzz-Off, leader of the Andreenids,

at the royal palace.

[Skeletor] That gives me an idea.

Send one of your gargoyle spies to Andrinos immediately.

That's where the Andreenids live.

Deep within the Mystic Mountains.

There they make Ambrosia,

a miracle food.

[Skeletor] That's what we need.

It'll make us powerful enough to defeat He-Man.

I know there are still details to work out

in the trade dispute between Avion and Andrinos,

but even so, please reconsider our proposal.

The people of Eternia

must present a united front against Skeletor's evil.

My people and I look out for ourselves.

[Buzz-Off] We see no need for alliances.

We're safe in the Mystic Mountains.

Whoever this Skeletor is, he poses no threat to us.

He poses a threat to everyone.

We must all work together to defeat him.

Alliances are for the weak.

My people have survived for ages with no one's help.

[Buzz-Off] Andrinos is impenetrable.

Our sensor screens can see an attack coming from far away.

-[Stratos sighs] -Very well.

You must do as you think best.

Buzz-Off's making a serious mistake.

He can't stay neutral in this.

Skeletor won't rest until he's conquered all of Eternia.

Buzz-Off's got some nerve.

[Prince Adam] If everyone felt that way,

Skeletor would stomp all over Eternia.

This from the prince

who somehow never seems to be on hand

when a battle starts.

Whatever. Come on, Cringer.

It's time for lunch.

Of all the empty-headed--

Forgive me, Your Majesty, but I sometimes find your son

ill-informed on matters of state.

Yes, it's true, I'm afraid.

Adam isn't much help in this time of war.

♪♪

Stratos depends too much on others.

If war comes, only the strong will survive.

This can't be.

With me, my warriors.

Those were Avion warriors.

Could Stratos be that angry with your decision?

It appears so.

I'm not giving up.

There has to be some way to convince Buzz-Off to join us.

Perhaps you're right.

But were I you, I would wait.

And give him time to--

[she groans]

[whooshing]

I'm fine. Just scorched a few feathers.

They looked like Andreenid Warriors.

But that makes no sense.

Why would Buzz-Off attack us?

The only reason I can think of is the trade dispute.

Perhaps he is not willing to resolve it.

That would mean the meeting at the Royal Palace

was designed to throw us off, guard.

Hard to believe.

But not impossible, I'm afraid.

[Randor] Well, the details are sketchy,

but reports from our northern outposts

indicate attacks of unknown origin

on both Andrinos and Avion.

That region of the Mystic Mountains

is hollowed with caves and canyons.

Skeletor could easily hide an army in there.

This is serious, Cringer.

We'd better investigate.

By the power of Grayskull!

I am the power!

[Battle Cat growling]

To the Mystic Mountains, Battle Cat.

[announcer] He-Man!

[faint whirring]

[applause]

Good form.

He-Man!

Come on.

We might need to put that practice to use.

Skeletor, my Spell of Seaming is wearing off.

No matter.

The gargoyles have served their purpose.

-You're welcome. -What was that, beast brain?

Uh, I said... "You're well groomed".

I like the hood.

[Havoc Staff whirring stops]

Buzz-Off and Stratos each suspect the other of treachery.

A few more fiendish manipulations will make them certain of it.

[Skeletor cackles]

Skeletor... one of my flying gargoyles

reports somebody with a green cat heading that way.

Uh, He-Man.

He does have a talent

for showing up where he's not wanted.

Aargh! Talent?

I'll show him talent.

You three, intercept him.

He-Man must not reach the Mystic Mountains.

[swooshing]

Divine Jungle isn't exactly the garden spot of Eternia.

No!

Teela!

[creaking]

[Teela grunts]

[He-Man grunts]

[hissing]

-[Teela grunts] -[Battle Cat growls]

[thudding]

Thanks for the assist, Beast Man.

Huh?

[grunting]

[swooshing]

Huh? Whoa!

[grunts]

Nice kitty.

I'm, uh-- Not a fishy.

[stammering]

We gotta hurry.

Do you have news, Duncan?

It appears that Stratos and Buzz-Off

are accusing each other

of instigating the attacks.

[sighs]

A war between Avion and Andrinos

could devastate the Mystic Mountains.

Skeletor would be quick to take advantage.

We must try to stop this.

[Skeletor cackling]

Citizens of Andrinos and Avion,

I urge you not to rush to judgment.

These are troubled and perilous times.

[Skeletor] I thought Randall would try to play peacemaker.

How predictable.

Intercept his transmission, Tri-Klops.

No problem.

[distorted audio]

Excellent.

Now to revise his speech,

which Buzz-Off and Stratos should find

most interesting.

[device beeps]

I am sending this message, Buzz-Off, to warn you

that Stratos is plotting against you.

[Skeletor as Randor] He plans to make Andrinos

a fortress for his own people.

Do not be fooled.

[Skeletor as Randor] Though it pains me to say it,

Stratos is not your friend.

So, Stratos thinks he can pull the wax over our eyes?

His puny feathered fighters don't stand a chance.

It's true that Randor's word can be trusted,

but still, to declare war is an extreme act.

Perhaps our ambassadors should meet with theirs.

You are my chief councilor, Stingrad,

and your words make sense.

But woe betide Stratos, if he plants treachery.

[beeping]

-[beeping intensifies] -[device whirring]

-[beeping] -Ah!

The Interceptor transmission was received by Andrino, Skeletor.

Perfect.

It's only a matter of time before their two armies

will be flying down each other's throats,

leaving us to loot the Ambrosia.

[cackling]

[Stratos] Randor wouldn't warn us

of Buzz-Off's intentions unless he was sure.

But I cannot send my people to war without proof.

Yes, but if he is mobilizing his troops, we must mobilize ours.

We can't afford to be caught unprepared.

Once we pass through the Eye of Zarcane,

[He-Man] we should get to Avion before nightfall.

-I know, I know the button. -[beeping]

-[beeping intensifies] -[Battle Cat growls]

-[rumbling] -[loud thudding]

[thudding]

[He-Man] Skeletor's lackeys again.

They're trying to delay us. But why?

Skeletor's plan, whatever it is...

-[He-Man grunts] -...must be nearing completion.

Every second counts.

Stratos, we have a confirmed sighting

of a large attack force from Andrinos approaching.

Then it has begun.

[loud rumbling]

We may be too late.

-[lasers zapping] -[thudding]

[Skeletor scoffs] Just as I thought.

Buzz-Off didn't anticipate an attack on the home front.

Load up the collector.

To He-Man's imminent defeat.

-[Skeletor munching] -[metamorphosing]

[wings buzzing]

[wings flapping]

Our warriors await the command.

If any of Stratos' forces make a move,

attack without mercy.

Your orders, Lord Stratos?

We wait until Buzz-Off shows his intentions.

I won't be the one who starts a war,

but I will be the one who finishes it.

They're on the verge of battle, He-Man.

We've got to stop them.

This should get their attention.

[engines whizzing]

[Skeletor cackles]

Forget about them, He-Man.

You've got your own war to worry about.

[loud rumbling]

Huh?

I'm now stronger than you,

faster than you, and better armed.

[Battle Cat growls]

[Tri-Klops murmurs]

You still don't get it, do you?

I instigated this whole war for one reason, you fool...

to get the Ambrosia.

[Skeletor] Now it's made me more powerful

than you could ever imagine.

[Skeletor cackles]

It begins. Attack my warriors.

In defense of Avion.

Forward!

[Stratonians jeering]

-[swooshing] -[thuds]

[He-Man] And I didn't think you could get any uglier.

[Skeletor grunting]

[loud thudding]

[He-Man grunting]

[Skeletor laughing]

Okay, so maybe you picked up a little strength.

A little strength, huh?

Watch this.

[loud crackling]

-What! -[crackling]

[Skeletor] What's happening to me?

I'm losing my strength!

[He-Man] My, what a shame.

-[crackling stops] -No!

[crackling stops]

What's going on?

-[crackling stops] -[she grunts]

[Teela grunts]

Stick around. Now it's my turn.

-[cracking] -[grunts]

[she gasps]

Ambrosia.

Only the Andreenids

can use Ambrosia without side effects.

For everyone else, its power quickly becomes toxic.

You-- You knew that.

That's why you goaded me... to make it wear off faster.

He-Man. The battle is starting.

[Skeletor cackles]

[thudding]

[He-Man grunting]

-He-Man? -What?

Stop fighting.

Neither of you started this war.

This was Skeletor's doing.

And if you keep fighting,

Skeletor is the only one who will win.

All troops, stand down.

Order our warriors to stand down.

My people will have little Ambrosia this season

because Skeletor depleted our supply.

It's typical of Skeletor

to seek an advantage without suspecting a press.

I'm just sorry he and his cronies got away

while He-Man was stopping the battle.

Still, some good has come of it.

I now declare the Andreenids your allies.

The struggle to stop Skeletor.

[Stratos] Welcome, my friend.

Too bad the Ambrosia only works on Buzz-Off's kind.

Some of it might make a warrior out of you.

Sometimes it's important to be a team player.

When people work together,

they can accomplish great things.

Until next time.
