I am Adam, Prince of Eternia,

defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

-Fabulous-- -[lasers zapping]

[grunting, growling]

[cackling]

By the Power of Grayskull...

[electrification]

...I have the Power!

Randor, King Taurius has agreed to our terms

and signed the agreement.

So soon?

Your diplomatic skills put my own to shame, Marlena.

Now hurry home. Your king misses you.

And your queen misses her king.

Tell Adam I'm flying over the corridors of Lithos.

When he was a child, we'd often come here with Cringer

to explore the caves.

[Marlena cries out]

Marlena, I'm losing you. Some kind of interference.

[laughs] Nice landing, Adam.

[Adam sighs] The thing just died on me.

[electricity crackling]

What in Eternia is that? Adam?

I don't like the looks of this, Cringer.

By the power of Grayskull...

...I have the power!

[growls]

Where is that infernal Trap Jaw?

I sent him on a simple reconnaissance mission to...

[rumbling]

Quite a landing, Trap Jaw.

What do you have to say for yourself?

[mumbling]

- Apparently nothing. - [crashes]

A level-10 power outage in my lab.

Tell me about it.

We've got a couple problems of our own.

Whoa, talk about speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

Must be the power generators under the city.

No, that wouldn't affect Mekaneck and Man-E-Face's powers.

Or Adam's Sky Sled, or my battle orbs.

[sighs] Thank goodness that the Queen's safe in Mentura.

No. She concluded her business early.

Marlena was en route flying over the corridors of Lithos

when I lost all contact.

Mother.

Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll find the crew.

[explosion]

I am Sortech.

I have sent this for you here.

Enter my battle armor, and it will bring you to me.

And if I refuse your invitation?

You have seen what I am capable of.

Imagine Eternia devoid of weapons, vehicles of power.

The entire planet hurled back into Dark Ages.

You will do as I say.

I'll consider your offer after I've rescued the Queen.

No, He-Man. I will.

All Eternia is in peril.

You must see what this Sortech wants.

Then take these.

[whirrs]

Ah, vehicles are inoperable.

Get my swiftest steed from the Royal Stable.

Take Battle Cat, Your Majesty. He's faster than any steed.

[growling]

[gibberish]

What are you complaining about?

My eye sensors are out. I can't see a thing.

[groans]

- Well? - It's not only Snake Mountain.

All power on Eternia has shut down.

Hmm. Whoever is behind this

is someone I should get to know.

And so you shall. I am Sortech!

[Tri-Klops] What's going on?

[whooshing]

[growling]

[whirrs]

[birds screaming]

- [growls] - Huh?

[screaming]

[grunts]

[screaming]

[thudding]

All right, Sortech, I'm here. Show yourself.

[whirring]

[clinking, thudding]

[beeping]

Got a few tricks up your armored sleeve, don't you?

[He-Man screams]

[grunts]

[screaming]

[whirring]

[gurgling]

[grunts, panting]

[clangs]

All right, Sortech. Enough. What do you want?

[growling]

Queen Marlena-- where is she?

Took my weapon. Went for help.

[groaning]

[growls]

Battle Cat, we must find her.

King Hiss will be pleased.

A queen for dinner.

Sortech!

Despite what you may think,

I did not send those metallic creatures to harm you.

I provided the armor so you could battle past them.

How helpful.

[whirrs]

Exactly what do you want?

There was a cave-in several weeks ago

impairing the energy flow to the Ergon.

- [electricity crackling] - Your task is a simple one. Remove the boulders.

I'm puzzled, Sortech.

You have the ability to disable an entire planet.

Why would you need help for such a simple undertaking?

You dare question me?

[grunts]

What are you-- stay away! There's nothing in there!

[creaking]

Pay no attention to that pathetic creature!

What are you doing? Do not touch it!

So you're the great wizard, Sortech.

The Ergon! Turn it back on, or I will die!

[groans]

[whirrs]

I suggest you start talking.

I was once one of Eternia's greatest scientists.

Power was always in short supply

until I created a device to provide unlimited energy.

The Ergon.

But it was stolen by those who would use it for evil.

War machines.

I pleaded with them to stop the madness.

They wouldn't listen.

[explosion]

The Ergon's power destroyed them.

Near death, I'd had enough of Eternia kind.

I sought sanctuary...

and repaired myself as best I could.

Just as the Ergon keeps me alive,

so does it power the battle armor you wear.

And just as you used it to knock out

all of Eternia's power.

It took nearly all the Ergon's remaining energy to do so.

How else was I to draw you here?

If you needed help,

you could have reached out in a civilized way.

[laughs]

I have seen the ways of Eternia.

Nothing is respected in violence and force.

The great unrest is behind us.

True, there are still battles,

but only against the forces of evil.

Sometimes there are things worth fighting for.

[Skeletor] How very true, He-Man.

Such is that fascinating device.

Now hand it over.

No, please.

I summoned you here, you and He-Man.

The most powerful beings on Eternia

to help me repair the Ergon, not steal it.

Sorry to disappoint.

- Back off, Skeletor or I'll-- - You'll do nothing.

[groans]

The most powerful man in the universe?

I think not.

[cackling]

Please, I'll die.

I'll build you another one.

A better one just for you. You mustn't.

[chuckles]

Oh, but I must.

Your battle armor will lose power.

Then I'll remove it.

- As long as I have the Ergon-- - Skeletor!

It's over, He-Man.

I leave with the Ergon.

You get to leave with your life.

No. There is another life at stake here.

I pull this, both our armor goes dead.

[Skeletor grunts]

I... I can't move!

You risked your life to save mine, He-Man. Why?

As I said, some things are worth fighting for.

[electricity crackling]

I have returned power to all of Eternia.

When you're ready to rejoin the rest of the world, Sortech,

you know where to find us.

[whooshing]

[growling]

We must find Marlena.

Good boy, Cringer. You found it. My favorite cave.

[hisses]

[screams]

[hisses]

If you so much as touched one hair on her head...

Hold him right there! [hisses]

[screams]

[growling]

Randor, you found me.

Oh, thank Battle Cat. He led me to this cave.

[growling]

But how? There are hundreds of caves.

He must have picked up your scent.

Picked up my scent? In this wind?

[growling]

[growls]

Sortech tried force to get He-Man to repair the Ergon

when all he really needed to do was ask.

Family, friends and neighbors

help each other in times of need.

[whimpers]

[grunting]

Remember, it's a sign of strength, not weakness,

to ask for assistance.

Until next time.
