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 ♪

♪ He-Man ♪

[dramatic music playing]

Whoo!

What does this thing do? [grunts]

Grabs things and then smashes them.

[grunting]

Trolley moly! I could have been a trolley pancake!

Please, Orko, don't touch anything else.

-[rumbling] -[crackling]

[yelping]

[yelps] It wasn't me! Honest!

Some kind of power surge emanating from the Sea of Rakash.

Nearly off the scale.

[laughing]

Off the scale? Oh.

Oh, that's bad, huh?

Yes, and if the object causing that power surge is what I suspect it is,

let's just hope it hasn't fallen into Skeletor's evil hands.

[machine whirring]

[Skeletor] Well?

Weapon test activating in three, two...

[explosion]

[Skeletor screaming]

Oh.

I... I don't know what happened.

-Sorry. [screams] -[explosion]

[robotic whirring]

Much as I'd enjoy seeing Tri-Klops receive his punishment,

this was not his doing.

Oh? If you have some tidbit of information

to relay, Evil-Lyn...

Much more than a tidbit.

It's sharp, it's shiny,

and it's possibly the most powerful element in the universe.

Uh... Give us another clue.

What's it rhyme with?

-She's speaking of the Corodite Crystal. -[Tri-Klops grunts]

So, the crystal still exists?

Hmm. Of course.

It was strong enough to topple the Mystic Wall.

No mere explosion could destroy it.

Why didn't I think of this before?

You didn't even think of it this time.

You are fortunate I'm in a chipper mood, dear, Evil-Lyn.

Return to the former sight of the Mystic Wall and get me my crystal.

[seagull squawking]

[Man-At-Arms] This activation of the crystal could be

a diversionary tactic orchestrated by Skeletor.

I'm depending on the two of you to lead the masters and defend the kingdom.

You can count on me.

Since when?

Fine.

But we stay here seaside, in case you need us.

Well, what are you guys waiting for?

Let's go for a dip.

Uh, sorry, Orko.

This is no group swim.

I can travel swifter and more covertly alone.

[Orko groans]

Ahhh.

[snorting]

Well?

Dig it away here, boss.

Uh, yes.

Still haven't found anything.

[growling]

And so you shan't.

[sniffs]

I thought I smelled something fishy.

So, that sniveling sea slime Mer-Man

thinks to use the Corodite Crystal for himself?

You three, round up Beast Man, go to the Sea of Rakash,

and locate that mutineering Mer-Man

and bring him and my crystal to me.

[birds squawking]

[Beast-Man] Uh, the crystal would have to be underwater.

[sighs] Leave it to me.

As always.

My power reigns beyond compare.

Now let we free breathe water like air.

[gasps]

[pounding footsteps]

[snorts] Hey!

We can breathe underwater.

[groans] Not so sure I wanna.

I thought you landlubbers had enjoyed traveling in style.

Charming.

[growls]

[tense music playing]

[Mer-Man] And so it begins.

By harnessing the Corodite Crystal's power,

I will have every ocean inhabitant

cower again begging to serve me. [chuckles]

[buzzing]

-[screaming] -[explosion]

[sighs] Tomorrow, we try again.

[Man-At-Arms] Think again.

And just keep your fins where I can see them.

You're in my neighborhood now.

[laser gun firing]

[screaming]

[triumphant music playing]

[Teela] Any sign of disturbance?

[Adam] Not a ripple.

You see anything, Orko?

Orko?

[squelching]

[Orko] Wow! What a great disguise!

Bet you can hide from anyone out of here.

Out of here, Orko, now!

[Orko] Good idea.

[dramatic music playing]

Give me my crystal!

Your crystal?

Well, since nobody was using it anyhow, I just thought...

Okay, fine.

Skeletor can have the stupid thing.

[scoffs] Maybe I don't get the crystal.

But I do get the pleasure of seeing you become lunch.

-Hmm, send it over and... -[low growl]

[yelping] Not yet!

The crystal!

[explosion]

Trolley moly.

Man-At-Arms got eaten.

[Evil-Lyn] Well?

Well, what?

[Evil-Lyn] It wasn't we who stole the crystal,

and it certainly won't be we who will be retrieving it.

[groans]

-Well, open wide for Mer-Man. -[growling]

[growling]

[squelching]

[Man-At-Arms] Not again.

[gasps]

[roaring]

What's happening?

[stuttering] Must be something he ate, eh?

Man-At-Arms?

No. The crystal. It's been activated somehow,

and is mutating the beast.

[roaring loudly]

[dramatic music playing]

[grunting]

[distant explosion]

-[heavy footsteps pounding] -[growling]

[people screaming]

Teela to Masters, deploy to Eastern Village.

Sea of Rakash. Now!

-No! Your dad's in the beast! -What?

Yeah, and it swallowed this really nice, shiny rock, too.

-The Cordite Crystal? -Yeah.

Sounds right.

[roaring]

We've got to protect the Village, but without hurting the beast.

The crystal is activated.

The creature could blow sky high and my father along with it.

♪ He-Man ♪

By the Power of Grayskull.

[dramatic music playing]

I have the Power!

[roars]

[people screaming]

[grunting]

[dramatic music playing]

Run!

[roaring]

Wait. My father's inside!

Job one is to save lives.

We've got to get it away from the Village.

[roaring]

-To catch a fish, you need bait. -What bait?

[He-Man] Well, it seems rather fond of you.

[pensive music playing]

[roaring in distance]

He's there.

So, how are they gonna get out?

I don't even want to know.

[dramatic music playing]

[grunting]

[screaming]

He-Man.

-Thank you. -Your leg.

-I'll manage. -The Cordite Crystal.

[crackling]

[roaring in distance]

[coughing]

[grunts and screams]

No!

[dramatic music playing]

What's happening to it?

It must be the crystal.

[low growling]

To the vehicles.

Follow the beast.

[pounding footsteps]

[seagulls squawking]

Which way?

♪ He-Man ♪

It seems to be heading for Castle Grayskull.

What could it possibly want with that old ruin?

No idea.

Let's just be glad we won't have civilians to worry.

-Teela! -Father. Are you all right?

Listen carefully.

You cannot let that creature reach Grayskull.

If the castle is in the slightest danger

of being breached, you must destroy the beast.

I can't do that.

-You and He-Man would be-- -Teela!

Do as I say.

-Father, you're asking me to-- -Yes!

I am.

[device turns off]

Do not allow the creature to reach the Castle.

-You've heard her! -Battle positions!

[dramatic music playing]

[growling]

Well, this is turning out nicely.

Engage arms.

Prepare to destroy the creature.

Please, He-Man. Your only chance is to leave me.

My armor is too heavy.

Not at all.

The stomach acid lightened it up quite a bit.

[beast growling]

[Teela] On my command. Ready.

Aim.

Stand down, stand down!

[grunts] Ah!

[beast growling]

What an Eternia!

It's about to detonate.

Get rid of it, or half of Eternia will--

Maybe my sword can absorb the Crystal's power.

Transfer it to me.

You'll never survive.

And the alternative?

[scoffs] This ought to be good.

[screaming]

[uneasy music playing]

[laughter]

And when I woke up this morning, I thought it was gonna be a slow day.

[somber music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs] Oh...

Good to have you back, He-Man.

Indeed.

[crackling and pounding]

[groans]

And as for the rest of you, you allowed my crystal to be destroyed.

But no matter.

You see, I have gained something far more valuable.

Knowledge.

That wretched Teela was prepared

to sacrifice daddy's life to save Castle Grayskull.

Now, what could possibly be in that old pile of stones worth dying for?

But what if you guys didn't get out of the fish in time? [chuckles]

You and Man-At-Arms could have--

I knew the risks, Orko.

But I wasn't about to leave Man-At-Arms behind, no matter what.

Friends stick together through thick and thin.

And being trapped in a creature's belly...

Well, it doesn't get any thicker than that.

Ahhh. Or slimier or yuckier.

[laughing]

Until next time.
