I am Adam, Prince of Eternia,

defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

-Fabulous-- -[laser blasting]

[roaring]

[intro theme playing]

[cackling]

By the Power of Grayskull!

I have the Power!

[chorus] ♪ He-Man, He-Man ♪

[male voice] ♪ And the Masters Of the Universe ♪

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

[narrator] Previously on He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

The state of high alert is no longer in force.

You are to immediately

report to your hometowns and villages

for a well-earned leave.

[Cringer growls]

And so they scatter.

Now, go conquer.

Perhaps Prince Adam could be of some assistance.

[Skeletor] Oh, Duncan!

-[Sorceress screams] -[Skeletor] See what remains of the Masters of the Universe.

[laughing maniacally]

Just out of curiosity, Prince Adam,

how did you plan on stopping me?

With your good looks?

[all laugh]

Laugh all you want to, Skeletor.

The masters will be here, any second.

Oh, I think not.

[aircrafts humming]

You're going to get it now, Skeletor.

[roaring]

No!

[laughing maniacally]

[groaning]

[sighing]

Now, bow before me.

[groaning]

I thought Skeletor got rid of them?

My evil warriors,

free at last from that accursed Eternian prison

Yeah, we had a little help.

Oh?

From whom?

From that Ko--

[muffled speech]

We mustn't trouble the great Skeletor with details.

He has far more important things on his mind.

Indeed.

I see you've wasted no time in replacing us.

Replace you,

dear Evil-Lyn?

Why do you think I went through all the trouble

of retrieving Count Marzo's amulet,

freeing Evil Seed and gathering the others?

Good question.

It was for the express purpose of avenging your capture.

And avenge it. I did.

Even as we speak, those so-called Masters Of the Universe

are locked away inside my dungeon.

You did all that for us?

I doubt it.

[grunting]

[Skeletor cackles]

And now...

[gate creaks]

No!

[grunting]

Back off or I blast you.

It's not nice to take what rightfully belongs to others.

But then, like father, like son.

Now be a good little prince and return that.

Scared?

Oh, petrified.

[screaming]

[gasping]

[screaming]

[Beast Man] My pal, Skeletor.

You gotta love a guy like that.

Now, where was I?

[gasping]

Zodak.

[gasping and groaning]

Oh, Hi! Good news.

You freed the others?

Well, no.

But I got something you're gonna really, really like.

[Orko mumbles]

Oh, wait.

[Orko groans]

Ta-da!

[gasping] My Power Sword!

By the Power of Grayskull,

I have the Power!

[thudding]

Uh, He-Man, you may have it,

but Skeletor is about to get it!

[screaming]

-[gate creaks] -[Skeletor groans]

[Belzar groans]

Merely a temporary setback.

I still have the Ram Stone.

Had!

Destroy him!

[grunting]

[yelling]

[growling]

[Griffin screeches]

[screaming]

[screaming]

I heard you're good.

Oh, better than good.

[Griffin caws]

[Skeletor growls]

[groaning]

Either you or the force field will be destroyed, He-Man.

-[Griffin caws] -Either way, I win.

[screaming]

[rumbling]

[Griffin caws]

Skeletor should have destroyed those weeds

when he had the chance.

Forget Skeletor!

We were better off working for ourselves.

Cowards. We shall breach Grayskull, Skeletor,

and together, rule Eternia!

My amulet!

Yeah, you better run.

[groaning]

-[bones crunching] -[flesh squelching]

[gasping]

No worries, Skeletor.

I'm staying to fight.

How comforting.

[Griffin caws]

-Retreat. -[Griffin caws]

Huh, good idea.

We've got to pursue them, Father.

No.

Our duty now is to return to Eternia.

I must face the king.

[Cringer purrs]

[chorus] ♪ He-Man! ♪

[Man-At-Arms] And Zodak contacted Mossman,

who freed us from Snake Mountain.

If not for the aid of our brave allies and the courage of He-Man,

we would've lost everything.

All because I was fooled by Skeletor's plan.

His cunning knows no bounds.

I have one last thing to report.

In light of what has happened, I am...

-...resigning my post. -[Prince Adam] What?

[gasping]

Wait, Duncan.

I cannot, I will not accept your resignation, old friend.

You must.

-It was my fault that-- -No.

No, the fault was mine for taking the kingdom off high alert.

It was I who failed to anticipate Skeletor's plan.

It was I who abandoned my throne to take a vacation.

It was I who did this.

It was I who did that.

Oh, listen to you two.

Are you the great defenders of Eternia or a pair of whiny children?

[chuckles] Go, Mom!

Instead of browbeating yourselves over what's already happened,

You need to take action

to ensure that Eternia is never caught with its guard down again.

[kisses] You are right, Marlena, as so often is the case.

What is it you propose, my Queen?

I propose nothing.

[footsteps departing]

I leave that to you.

I will create a new council to help me govern in times of peace

and if needed, take over in times of war.

A new council?

Yes.

[Skeletor] Argh, so close to the ultimate Power of Grayskull

only to have it ripped away!

If brute force will not succeed,

perhaps there is another way.

[electricity crackling]

This would appear to be the work of Kobra Khan.

Why would Khan help the evil warriors escape?

Last time I checked, they weren't exactly friends.

Yes. Khan only pretended to join them

so he could gain access into Snake Mountain and the entrapped King Hiss.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

They have, perhaps, formed an alliance against us.

Skeletor would never stand for that.

Not after Khan double-crossed him.

There may be others under Skeletor's rule who feel differently.

[Kobra Khan] I've come to collect on my debt.

When I freed you from the Eternian prison,

you said I could name my price.

Yes, well, that was then.

I've reconsidered.

-Oh. -[hissing]

Don't even think about it.

Skeletor and I go back a long way.

There is something to be said for loyalty.

Loyalty? [cackling]

It was your loyal Skeletor

who orchestrated your capture.

You're lying.

Am I?

King Hiss built this fortress.

The very mountain sees all that occurs within it.

Observe.

The capture of my evil warriors was a small price to pay

for the ultimate Power that will soon be mine.

Those useless imbeciles can rot away in the Eternian prison

for all I care.

[laughing maniacally]

Now, you see?

Yes.

On the other hand,

King Hiss always rewards those loyal to him.

Yes.

And King Hiss will need me.

Someone who knows the ways of the enemy.

He-Man and the Masters.

And more importantly,

he will need you to take care of Skeletor.

[laughing maniacally]

[Orko mumbles and groans]

No, it won't fit.

We'll just have to find another way, Orko.

Things don't always go smoothly or work out the way we planned.

But we can often find creative ways to solve problems

if we use our heads.

Great idea. Hey, Rammy.

[heavy footsteps]

[crashing noise]

Oh, until next time.
