I am Adam, Prince of Eternia,

defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

-Fabulous-- -[laser blasting]

By the Power of Grayskull!

I have the Power!

Chassis, Bay 11.

[electricity crackling]

What are you doing, Ram-Man?

Uh, taking a little break. Haven't eaten all day--

You could be certain our enemies aren't taking breaks.

Please, eat while you work.

You're still not dwelling on Skeletor's near victory, are you, Duncan?

[sighing] I'm dwelling on one thing only.

We have less than a day before you convene the new Council of Eternia.

These additional vehicles are needed for patrols,

to provide security for you and the council members.

He hasn't slept in two nights.

Sleep, highly overrated.

Well... [yawning]

I'm going to take a nap.

So, Randor is forming a new council.

[Evil-Lyn] Mm-hmm.

Even as we speak, representatives from the far corners of Eternia

are heading for the royal palace.

Should this council prove to be a success,

Randor will have an even stronger power base

and be that much more difficult to thwart.

Worse, he will gain a psychological advantage,

at a time when he should be choking on the taste of his recent defeat.

You're thinking of crashing their little party, aren't you?

Crashing, smashing,

obliterating!

Tri-Klops. Send them--

I've already got it covered.

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

[beasts roar]

You're troubled.

The dignitaries are starting to arrive.

This council is the best chance we have to stem Skeletor's reign of evil.

And for that very reason, I sense he will do everything in his power to sabotage it.

[Tri-Klops] Looks like it's going to be held in the high tower of the palace.

We'll never get to them.

Not by ground attack. Air attack on the other hand...

Oh, I got just what you need.

[animals growling]

[roaring]

[Beast Man] Serpintaurs!

[hissing]

They fly low and fast.

I give the order, a bunch of them take out the tower.

Serpintaurs? Yes!

No.

Serpintaurs cross the sky and every dragon in Eternia will rise up to destroy them.

And what if there were no dragons?

Not to brag, but dragons really hate my smell.

They're not the only ones.

Yes. Come along, Stinkor. We're going to take a little ride.

[roaring]

[hissing]

It's a dragon attack!

No, not an attack. They seem to be...

...fleeing!

What could it mean?

It means it's safe to go through the forest again.

Remember when my juggling balls turned out to be dragon eggs and hatched?

It started breathing fire and it--

Oh, now I'm scared of dragons.

Who is it?

[Stratos] Man-At-Arms,

Serpintaurs assembling at Snake Mountain.

I get it.

Skeletor gets rid of the dragons, then attacks with Serpintaurs.

[grunting] I think you're right, Adam.

Grayskull?

The Council!

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

But if there is to be a Serpintaur attack, we need to evacuate the palace.

Or at least change the location of the Council Meeting.

Negative on both counts. Fortify the ramparts.

But--

The King has guaranteed the council members, a secure meeting place.

Any change in venue would incite fear and undermine their confidence in it.

These Serpintaurs are nasty creatures, Man-At-Arms.

They fear nothing, have no natural enemies. Save one, of course.

So why can't you build a bunch of dragons?

Excellent idea.

[cackling]

[hissing]

Just waitin' for a few more.

Sometimes, they get lost.

Oh, how encouraging.

[machinery whirring]

[electricity crackling]

[sighing] Granted, Serpintaurs have poor eyesight.

But the question is, will they mistake these machines for actual dragons?

Hey, what's going on?

Dragons! Oh, oh...

[indistinct chatter]

Welcome! I hereby call the first Eternian Council to order.

First wave, attack!

[Beast Man roaring]

[Serpintaurs roar]

They're coming!

Engage dragons!

[mechanical roaring]

-Where's-- -I asked Adam to find He-Man.

[hissing]

They're taking the bait! They think these are dragons.

On my signal, fire!

[screeching]

By the Power of Grayskull!

I have the Power!

[flames hissing]

[screeching]

They're retreating!

No. Regrouping!

And more Serps joining in.

We were barely able to hold off three of 'em.

What would it take to summon the real dragons back?

After being spooked the way they were?

Nothing short of a magician.

Whoa! Me?

No way! I'm scared of dragons.

Who isn't?

Now, come along Orko, we have a long trip ahead of us.

Go!

We've got company. Lots!

Circle formation!

No dragons here. Oh well, let's leave.

Come on!

Easy now! I'm not your enemy.

And I'm not food.

Hopefully.

[growling]

We've come to show you something.

Orko?

[magic shimmering]

[crackling]

[growling]

Come on. They'll follow us.

Yeah. That's what I'm afraid of!

[hissing]

My dragon! Can't take much more of this.

Peaceful, calm.

Your Serpintaurs should have attacked the palace by now.

Uh, something must have come up.

I'll, uh, look into it.

Father, if we don't retreat--

No, if we retreat, the Serpintaurs attack the council.

I can't, I won't let that happen.

Perhaps I can be of service.

Not now, Roboto. Continue to engage.

[roaring]

The palace.

A pair of them, looking to flank us!

No. They're heading for the palace!

I'm going to need to borrow this.

[powering down]

Power cell is nearly shot.

Doesn't have the juice to make it back to the palace.

None of them do. Roboto, he's got a backup unit!

Indeed, I do.

[powering up]

Glad to be of service.

[tree crashing]

Hey!

The dragons?

[roaring]

[roaring and hissing]

[Randor] We've covered much ground for our first meeting.

I suggest we adjourn and reconvene--

[loud thud]

[roaring]

Everyone, stand clear of the walls and windows.

[hissing]

I can't help but feel I failed you.

I vowed to provide security for this Council and--

And provide it you did.

He-Man is an ally, and that is good enough for me.

We must not be dissuaded from the purpose of this council,

-which is to stand strong-- -Together.

[al] Yes my Majesty, we should be together.

You should be proud of yourself, Orko. You helped save the kingdom.

But I'm still scared of dragons.

Well, who isn't?

Anyone without a healthy respect for the fierce power of dragons, is a fool.

And you may be a jester, Orko, But you're no fool.

Orko is scared of dragons, and he's got good reason to be.

Dragons can be dangerous beasts.

Plus, they breathe fire.

Fire can be dangerous.

Remember, never play with matches or get too close to an open flame.

Until next time.
