I am Adam, Prince of Eternia

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

Hey!

[sighs] This is boring.

I wish I had someone to play with.

With the help of the Sorceress' Book of Magic,

I've made a fantastic discovery.

My equations and the Sorceress' spells

prove another universe, The Dark Dimension,

exists very close to ours.

This closeness is what keeps the delicate balance

between science and sorcery on Eternia.

Could the barrier ever break down?

Let's hope not.

That thing looked hungry.

I know just how it feels. Let's eat.

I wonder if there's something to play with in here.

Since when is this place haunted?

What brought that on?

Magic.

And I think I know

who may be at the bottom of this.

Aha.

Now, where's Orko?

[Man-At-Arms] Orko! Orko!

[Orko] Uh-oh.

Looks like I'm in trouble.

[giggling]

I know a place we can hide.

Look. The picture of Daimar is gone.

Someone has summoned Daimar the Demon

from the Dark Dimension.

And I think you were right about Orko.

We'd better find him soon.

According to this, Daimar will spin a cocoon,

and when he comes out,

his army of demons will come through a pan-dimensional rift

to conquer Eternia.

Adam, we need help.

You sent for me, Skeletor?

Yes. My instruments show unusual power surges

near Randor's palace.

What is this?

You'll pay for this, you witch.

I didn't do it.

You didn't.

But who did?

I don't know.

These power surges are changing reality.

They drained my strength for a moment.

I must have this power.

Your luck just ran out.

I can't move.

We've detected strange power surges coming from here.

What's that?

The Book of Magic.

That must be the source of the power.

I'll be back when I've mastered it.

Thank goodness.

We can move again.

But there may be no way to stop Evil-Lyn.

It's only a little farther to Grayskull.

Oh, I'm so sleepy.

Yes. [laughs]

We do what our destinies demand.

Orko, get back.

You're my friend. How can you attack us?

It is my destiny.

[He-Man] No, Daimar.

Daimar, you're wrong.

You can create your own destiny.

You can change

if you really want to.

[growls]

[He-Man] You and Orko are friends.

Wouldn't you rather have a life filled with friends,

being with those who really care about you for yourself

instead of those who use you

for their own selfish, violent reasons?

[growls]

[He-Man] Think, Daimar. Think.

I don't like this, Skeletor.

He-Man, you are a fool.

Daimar was not born to think...

only to serve his superiors.

He will follow my orders.

- [Daimar growls] - Is that true, Daimar?

You have an opportunity to change your destiny.

Don't pass it up.

[growls]

Perhaps we can help Daimar make up his mind.

The light...I can't see.

This freeze ray will hold him

until we get him back to Snake Mountain.

[Skeletor] What?

Teela, Orko, hurry.

Daimar, break out of the stun field.

You can do it!

We've got to break loose.

Use the freeze ray on He-Man.

[Skeletor] Now you've got me mad, He-Man.

[Daimar growling]

[growls]

[Skeletor] Join me, Daimar.

We'll rule Eternia together.

[Daimar growls]

I choose my own destiny, Skeletor,

and it is not with the likes of you.

No!

Time to go for a ride, Skeletor.

A long one.

[Daimar growls]

You were right, He-Man.

My destiny is mine.

I would like you for a friend.

I'd like that.

Don't forget me!

No, little friend,

I will not forget you.

But now I must return to my dimension.

We will all meet again.

[demons howling]

[boom]

[Battle Cat growling]

[shimmering tone]

I sure feel good about everything.

Well, you should.

Today you found something very precious.

I did? What?

A friend.

Well, that Daimar was really quite a fellow, wasn't he?

Orko had no idea just what he was getting into

with his mixed up magic spell.

But he soon found out that he'd

let something loose he couldn't handle.

Now, we know that in real life

there aren't any magic spells or demons,

but there are problems,

and just like Orko,

sometimes you'll find you've got one

that's too big for you to handle.

At times like that,

remember there are a lot of people out there

who really care about you, so talk to them.

Telling them what's wrong is the first step

toward making things right.
