You promised to find the weak point in the crystal

Only something with their power will free him.

I know of just such a thing, Skeletor.

With him, the Torgs were invincible.

So the Elders used their magic

to imprison him deep in the caves

in which the Torgs live.

Caves? I don't like the sound of that.

The Staff of Avion can free Molkrom,

and Molkrom has the power to destroy Grayskull.

Then we'd better start moving.

There's something even worse.

Do we really have to know about it?

[Sorceress] Once the Staff is used for evil,

it must be used quickly to undo that evil,

or it will explode

and take half of Eternia with it.

Couldn't we be on the other half?

can make you very sick.

Remember, never taste or eat anything
