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!

[children chattering indistinctly]

[Prince Adam] "You're going to be king someday, Adam,"

says, Man-At-Arms, "You must learn the royal etiquette."

How? These forks all look the same,

but if I use the wrong one at a state dinner, ooh, watch out.

It could start a war or something.

[Orko] Ooh, good idea.

Enguard.

-[metal clanging] -[Prince Adam chuckles]

Yeah, what's the big deal about table manners anyway?

A king can do whatever he wants.

Take my father.

[Orko chuckles nervously]

All he ever does is order people around.

-[glass shattering] -[King Randor clears throat]

Uh, father.

Are you studying to be king or court jester?

Because you are doing neither very well.

Like it or not, son, you are going to be king someday,

and it's high time you start taking affairs of state seriously.

I do, father.

I mean, I will from now on.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

Peace talks between the Speleans and the Caligars have broken down.

King Randor has been asked to help them reach a settlement.

[King Randor] And you shall be a part of my royal entourage.

[chuckles nervously] Lucky me.

Castle Grayskull,

and flying within the awesome power of the Elders.

[Beast Man] Hmm.

I have tried attacks by land, by saint, and by air.

There must be another way.

Nothing comes to mind.

Now, there's a surprise.

What if we were to attack from below?

We can reach Grayskull by traveling through Subternia.

Subternia is a vast and dangerous realm about which we know little.

Huh, speak for yourself.

I grew up there.

I can guide us.

A surprisingly interesting idea from you, Whiplash.

An attack from below.

Of course.

Grayskull walls may be made

of the hardest stone,

but it no doubt has a soft,

weak underside.

The Spelean kingdom.

Some kingdom, no welcoming party?

That's not their style.

[birds screeching]

Easy, Adam.

Randor, welcome.

Lord Dactys.

He's their king.

[Lord Dactys] That I am, young man.

And like all Speleans, I have excellent hearing.

I apologize for my son.

[laughs]

I've been apologizing for mine for years.

[both laughing]

-[metal clanging] -[birds chirping]

And this is the great forge, where we do our metalwork.

[metal clanging]

You seem to be making many weapons.

The Caligars have been stirring up trouble.

I may need your sword again.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

My father fought with Lord Dactys against the Caligars.

Alongside the Caligars.

They were once the Speleans allies.

[Spelean] Lord Dactys,

my patrol in Subternia encountered trespassers.

Caligars.

No.

Skeletor.

No doubt making another attempt on Castle Grayskull...

from below.

[King Randor] Not on my watch.

[Man-At-Arms] Your Highness, I think

it would be best if you return to the palace and let me handle--

No, Duncan.

I made a pledge to defend Eternia

from the forces of evil, and I mean to honor my word.

With my own blood, if necessary.

[chuckles] Go, dad.

[Lord Dactys] We've sealed off the entrance to Subternia

to protect against Caligars aggression.

Open the gates.

You don't even have a sword.

The finest Spelean steel.

Thank you, my friend.

I wield this blade in your honor.

Farewell and beware the Caligars.

[Beast Man growls]

I didn't sign on for a sightseeing tour, Whiplash.

You got us lost, didn't you?

[Whiplash] Don't worry, Skeletor.

We'll be there soon.

♪♪ He-Man ♪♪

Hey, look,

old bone face has been through here.

Those tracks weren't made by Skeletor's forces.

Think again.

Whiplash.

All right, Whiplash.

You want some?

How dare you speak that traitor's name.

[Prince Adam grunts]

Wait.

Hmm.

Stop this madness, Ceratus.

Can it be?

Captain Randor.

I am King Randor of Eternia,

and I have come on an urgent mission.

King Randor?

What is this mission?

We are tracking Skeletor, who is on a mission to conquer us.

Lies. He carries a sword of a Spelean.

Uh-oh.

It is true. I carry Spelean steel.

They are allies of ours, as your people once were

when I fought beside you both.

That was... long ago.

Once we have completed our mission,

I vow to mediate a peace treaty between your people and the Speleans.

I suspect you'd have an easier time defeating Skeletor.

Let them pass.

Dad.

Father, that was amazing.

[Man-At-Arms] There they are.

Skeletor.

[Skeletor] Randor.

When last we met, you were about to perish in the abyss.

How I hate unfinished business.

Quickly.

[Skeletor laughing]

Adam.

Adam, go find your way back to the surface.

But--

Right.

Argh.

We're trapped.

[Skeletor] Not necessarily.

There's always down.

[King Randor] Whoa.

By the Power of Grayskull.

I have the Power.

[evil laugh] On to Grayskull.

Grab on to me, Your Highness.

♪♪ He-Man ♪♪

Whoa, must have took a wrong turn.

Fool, look at the architecture.

The lost city of the Ancients

who built Castle Grayskull.

Got you here. Just like I promised.

Oh, kiss up.

Hmph, I smell a promotion.

Ah!

This door is all that stands between me and ultimate power.

[grunts]

Force field.

[King Randor] Skeletor.

You will not enter Castle Grayskull.

Allow me to offer a second opinion.

Destroy them all.

No.

The power of Grayskull is--

You were saying?

[growls]

How did He-Man know too?

[Man-At-Arms] I have no idea.

Spheres of stone hanging dock,

pierce them both to the heart.

Father.

We have a score to settle.

So we do.

[men grunting]

I'll draw fire.

Go.

Get 'em.

You took my face, Randor.

Today I take your life and then your kingdom.

Not very sporting to hit a man when he's down.

[King Randor grunts]

It's over, Skeletor.

Never.

If we hurry, we can catch them.

I don't think that will be necessary, Duncan.

I suspect Skeletor has a surprise waiting for him.

Uh...

Friends of yours, Whiplash?

Not exactly.

Welcome home, traitor.

[Prince Adam] You should have seen my father, Orko.

He was like a different person.

Charging into battle, defeating Skeletor.

I told you that a good king must have many skills.

Lord Dactys is joining us for a state dinner, Adam.

I trust you know the royal etiquette.

[sighs]

Leadership isn't just telling people what to do.

It's about leading by example and standing up for what is right.

Until next time.
