I am Adam, Prince of Eternia,

defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

-Fabulous-- -[laser firing]

[cackling]

By the Power of Grayskull.

I have the Power.

[low growling]

Paladin to Emperor K6.

Uh, not bad.

Archer to Spire G5.

[growling and rattling]

[whimpers]

[grunts]

[alarm blaring]

Father!

The prison.

[chorus] ♪♪ He-Man ♪♪

[guard groans]

[Man-At-Arms] Kobra Khan.

Alert all masters and royal guardsmen. Alpha priority manhunt.

[animal laughing]

Yeah, right. You'll never catch him.

[whooshing]

[low growl]

[eerie music playing]

At last.

Snake Mountain.

Prepare to be set free, oh, ancient ones,

to take back your rightful place

as the Masters of Eternia.

[grunting]

[growling]

[Beast Man] Master, we've captured an intruder.

[hissing]

Mighty Skeletor, I have come to pledge

my loyalty to you

and humbly ask that you allow me to join your great army.

[Skeletor] And why do you wish to serve me?

I thirst for revenge against all Eternia

for holding me prisoner.

You are Kobra Khan.

Your reputation precedes you.

I could use a man of your talents.

[low growl]

Any objections?

[growling]

[hissing]

[Prince Adam] The Snake Men.

I thought they were just a myth to frighten children.

[Orko] Uh, yeah. If you stay up past your bedtime.

"Lookout. The Snake Men will come and get you."

[imitates hissing]

The Snake Men are no myth.

Long ago, they nearly conquered all of Eternia.

Their leader, King Hiss,

built an impregnable fortress and called it Snake Mountain.

From their new base,

the Snake Army marched forth to vanquish the entire populace.

[hissing and rattling]

They might have succeeded were it not

for the combined strength of the elders and the mystic Zodak.

[triumphant music playing]

Together, they entombed King Hiss and his army in the Void,

a timeless prison deep within Snake Mountain.

[crackling]

[music continues playing]

Should Kobra Khan succeed in freeing the Snake Men,

all of Eternia is in grave peril.

-Zodak resides in a retreat high in the Mystic Mountains. -[engine powering up]

The Sorceress asks that we seek his help.

[tense music playing]

[Kobra Khan] Mmm.

Snake Mountain is truly magnificent, Skeletor.

The Palace of Eternia is weak by comparison.

Perhaps you can help me find a way to exploit that weakness.

With pleasure. [hissing]

Where does that stairway lead?

None of your business.

Tell me what you know of the Eternian Palace.

[hissing]

[dramatic music playing]

The winds are too strong.

We'll have to continue on foot.

[wind howling]

[Skeletor] Kobra Khan has provided us some intriguing new information.

There is an unguarded entry leading to the Banquet Hall in the Royal Palace.

By accessing it, we can easily seize control of the entire palace.

While King Hiss seizes all of Eternia...

[laughter]

[chorus] ♪♪ He-Man ♪♪

[suspenseful music playing]

Forgive our intrusion, Zodak.

I am Man-At-Arms, and this is Prince Adam and my daughter, Teela.

The Sorceress sent us to seek your help.

[Zodak] Yes.

Kobra Khan has escaped from our prison,

and we believe he's gone to Snake Mountain

to free King Hiss.

I will handle this.

Alone.

You can't go alone.

You'll be on Skeletor's home territory.

He's...

[trilling]

Well, that was... different.

Despite what he says, Zodak's going to need our help.

[eerie music playing]

[low hissing]

[chirps]

[Prince Adam] That Zodak has some nerve.

We come all the way to ask him to join us--

It's personal.

Legend has it that King Hiss killed Zodak's brother during the ancient war.

And now he's going to get himself killed.

He barely looks like a match for Kobra Khan.

Much less Skeletor's people.

Don't underestimate Zodak.

[grunts]

[body thuds]

He has the ability to gain instant insight into an opponent's weakness.

[explosion]

I have come for Kobra Khan.

Give him to me.

[laughter]

And if I refuse?

[growling]

Finish him!

Forces of darkness, hear my call.

Fix the enemy to the wall.

You will pay dearly for this! [grunting]

[humming]

[Kobra Khan hissing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[low growling]

[squelching]

[Evil Warriors groaning]

[sighs] Maybe Zodak didn't need our help after all.

[dramatic music playing]

The Void.

[low hissing]

[growls]

[rumbling]

[explosion]

[Kobra Khan] Zodak.

King Hiss will rise

from his ancient prison just in time to see his captor

fall before me.

Not while I draw breath.

[metal clangs]

[both grunting]

Prepare to join your snake ancestors in the Void.

[grunts]

[groaning]

[grunts]

[hissing in distance]

[growling]

[roaring]

[growling]

Zodak.

Yes, to do with as you wish, General Rattlor.

[hissing]

[laser gun firing]

Time to slither back into your holes, snake man.

These are my tormentors.

And for that, they shall pay!

[hissing]

Adam!

[hissing]

[Rattlor] Arise, my soldiers.

[hissing]

By the Power of Grayskull.

[triumphant music playing]

I have the Power!

[hissing]

I will feed you to King Hiss myself, Zodak.

Just like your brother.

[grunting in anger]

[hissing]

[Teela grunts]

[dramatic music playing]

He-Man!

-How did you-- -The Sorceress contacted me.

-[dramatic music playing] -[hissing]

[squeal]

[rattling]

[He-Man screaming]

[music continues playing]

[Snake Men hissing and squealing]

[roaring]

[Skeletor cackling]

How thoughtful of you, Kobra Khan,

recruiting an entire army of Snake Men

to help me conquer Eternia.

Ye... Yes!

[chuckles]

[King Hiss hissing]

[dramatic music continues]

You must get out.

I have unfinished business to attend to.

[rattling and hissing]

Yes...

We get out together.

[Snake Men screeching]

We must reseal the Void.

There is nothing to stop us now.

King Hiss and his Snake Men will rule the world!

Oh?

[screeching]

By the Elders!

[zapping]

You're not powerful enough!

[music continues playing]

[hissing and rattling]

King Hiss will rise again!

[tense music playing]

[He-Man grunts]

[Skeletor cackling]

Another day.

Hmm. Of that I have no doubt.

[Skeletor cackling]

It was foolish of me to attempt to stop this evil on my own.

If not for the help you've all given, I--

Even the very strongest of us needs help from time to time.

I hope we can count on you in the future.

[effort grunts] It's a sign of strength, not weakness

to admit that you need help.

Even I can't do everything on my own.

That's why he's got me.

Until next time.
