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!

[laser blasts]

Seems we're not the only ones after

the Emerald of Orkas Island.

Nobody messes with my friends.

Going somewhere, monster boy?

Yeah, right through you.

[growling]

[whip cracks]

[laughs]

What's happening to me?

You're part beast, right?

That means I can control you.

Oh, I should have tried this a long time ago.

Manny's in some kind of trouble.

Help him! I'll cover you.

Take him out!

[grunts]

[groans]

[grunting]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

You actually had a good idea.

[He-Man] I have a better one!

The two of you, locked up in the palace dungeon.

[Man-E-Monster growls]

[shouts]

Are you all right?

Uh...

I don't...

What have I done?

We've got a He-Man problem.

And I've got the solution.

[lasers zapping]

[grunts]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[crash]

Everyone all right?

Yes...

But they made off with the Emerald.

[Skeletor] Incompetent morons!

The Emerald of Orkas Island

would have allowed me to unleash

an unstoppable assault upon Castle Grayskull!

Well, if He-Man hadn't shown up...

He-Man always shows up, you fool!

And it's obvious none of you are

capable of eliminating him!

Time to find someone who can.

What I need are specialists.

Creatures who are ruthless, cunning,

and expert at destruction.

Bounty hunters.

I know two who'd be perfect.

Either one of them could take on He-Man.

One guy's name---

Bring them!

Uh...

Both of 'em?

Yes.

We'll see which of them is better suited

for the destruction of He-Man.

Now, go.

All of you, you disgust me.

[gasps]

[Tuvar] You never said that scaly cretin would be here!

If you say this weakling coming,

I no be here.

Call me that again and I'll make a belt from your hide!

You try, weakling!

[Whiplash] We're here.

[Whiplash] Skeletor,

This is Tuvar and Baddhra.

Tuvar...

Baddhra...

May I introduce--

You believe you have the skills

to take on He-Man?

I do.

Hmph. I take on anyone...

...for right price.

[laughter]

[Evil-Lyn] Talk is cheap, my boys.

[growls]

Let's see if you two can deliver the goods.

Beast Man, Trap Jaw...

Commence!

[cracks neck]

[cracks knuckles]

[groans]

With pleasure.

[Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw struggle]

[Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw grunt]

[Evil-Lyn shrieks]

[groans]

[Skeletor] A most impressive display.

You are both hired.

[Panthor growls]

Working together, you're certain to destroy He-Man.

Work with him? Never!

Bah!

Baddhra rather eat dirt than--

[both groan]

You will work together

and you will terminate He-Man.

Succeed, and you'll be amply rewarded.

Fail, and the consequences will be...

...unpleasant.

Yeah, that's right.

So you better--

Out of my sight, all of you!

My new warriors and I

have a little business to discuss.

Nice going, scales-for-brains.

If those friends of yours defeat He-Man,

Skeletor might replace all of us.

All of you, maybe.

I'll get a promotion.

[Beast Man growls]

[Whiplash grunts and screams]

We gotta stop those creeps.

[Evil-Lyn] No.

Let them defeat He-Man.

Then we come in, finish them off

and take the credit for ourselves.

[Ram-Man] So, what's this meeting all about?

I've heard there's a monster

attacking tradesmen in the Tar Swamp.

Maybe it was just Man-E-Faces out for a stroll.

[laughter]

I'm an actor.

The monster is just a role.

One I never care to play again.

Hey, sorry, Manny. I-I was just joking.

Adam, aren't you--

[sighs] I guess not.

[footsteps]

By the Power of Grayskull!

I have the Power!

King Randor has ordered that

the Emerald of Orkas Island

be sent to the Sands of Fire and destroyed.

The Masters will act as escorts.

All except for Man-E-Faces.

You and I will investigate these rumors

of a monster in the Tar Swamp.

Right.

♪ He-Man ♪

Seems quiet enough.

Perhaps those rumors were...

[roar]

[growl]

...true.

Can you locate the source?

[Man-E-Robot] I detect the location of the sounds,

but no corresponding physical presence.

Let's split up, see what we can find.

[sniffs]

You not He-Man!

[Man-E-Robot] And you are not a monster.

Why are you imitating one?

He-Man...

[growls]

[yelps and groans]

You all right?

[groans] A little sore, but--

Look out!

[growls]

Our... monster...

Meant as a lure.

But why?

First round goes to He-Man.

[chuckles]

He's got my little pet with him.

That could come in handy.

[Tuvar laughing]

[Tuvar laughing maniacally]

[coughs]

Manny?

[screams]

[electricity crackling]

Argh!

Easiest bounty I've ever earned.

[electronic beeping]

[coughs]

Thanks for the assist, Manny.

Who are these guys?

Bounty hunters.

And I have a pretty good idea who hired them.

They're good.

Completely fooled my robot sensors.

Man-E-Monster could pick up their scent.

Sorry.

He, uh...

I... don't play that role anymore.

Not after what Beast Man--

[Baddhra laughing]

Okay, you've had your fun.

No, fun just beginning.

[grunts]

[grunts]

Time for us to move in, boys.

[grunts]

[chuckles]

He-Man bring Baddhra big reward.

[grunts]

You!

That's my bounty you're playing with!

Skeletor say work together.

Be very angry if we not.

Maybe not pay any bounty.

You may have a point--

Hah!

You fall for that like rock in Ocean of Gnarl!

Man-E-Monster face is needed.

No, I dare not.

[swamp quiets down]

[roars]

[Man-E-Monster roars]

[growls]

Where is He-Man?

[sniffs]

Hang on, He-Man.

-I'll-- -[Beast Man] Hold it!

[whip cracks]

Obey your master.

No, I...

Yes, I obey.

[both] Remember us?

And when I say "jump",

you say, "how high?"

You got it?

You've gotta fight it, Manny.

The monster is part of you.

Beast Man can't control it.

[grunts]

Argh!

Right!

Beast man can't control...

No...

I must serve Beast Man.

Good!

Now...

Destroy He-Man!

Yes.

Must... destroy... He-Man!

[laughter]

If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it!

Better take another look.

I thought he was under your control.

Hmm...

He was!

Uh, I-I mean, he is!

[Manny laughs]

They call it acting, hairball.

And I'm not taking direction from you,

or nobody else, no more!

[screaming]

[roars]

[screams]

[Beast Man screaming]

Nicely done, Manny.

You had me worried there for a minute.

That's what great acting's all about.

And, thank you for reminding me...

...that I get to choose what roles I play.

So, what do we do about them?

Let's let the swamp hopper handle them.

Skeletor can do the rest.

And they failed...

...dismally.

They could have destroyed He-Man,

but they were too busy pounding on each other.

[both groan]

See what you've done, simpleton?

Shut big trap, backstabber!

-[Panthor growls] -Enough! So...

Refused to work together as I commanded.

Don't like each other, hmm?

Well, then...

too bad!

[both scream]

This is all your fault!

Shut big trap before I shut trap for you!

[Tuvar] Argh! What are you gonna...

Hit me with your one arm?

[Skeletor laughing]

Looks like I win.

[groans]

Guess there's a little bit of the monster in all of us.

We all get angry, jealous...

sometimes feel like saying mean things.

It's all a part of being human.

But just remember that we alone are responsible

for our own actions.

Hey, how about a rematch?

Until next time...
