Beautiful Teela.

How I've longed to see you again

and make you mine.

But you rejected me...

[glass shatters]

Preferring to join the royal guard

than to become my wife.

[crash] It's not fair.

My magic can get me anything I want,

except her.

[Karyn] Mallek, are you all right?

Karyn, I didn't call for you.

But I heard a noise.

I thought you needed help.

Well, you thought wrong, assistant...now leave me.

We'll go over your magic lessons later.

Yes, Mallek.

If only I could go to see Teela again,

but she'd only reject me like before.

Still, I wish she could be mine.

There is no price I would not pay

to make that dream come true.

Greetings, Mallek.

Who are you?

I am Lokus, a special messenger sent by my master.

Who is this master of yours?

What does his name matter?

The important thing is that he knows how you feel about Teela.

I can help you make her yours.

Really? How?

Well, there is a price involved...

a rather high price.

I'll give you anything.

[He-Man] You're saying a demon

and all out of love for Teela.

Oh, no!

I thought he'd gotten over that!

Duh, over what?

Well...

I guess I'd better tell you everything.

Before I became Captain of the Guard,

I spent several months studying in the City of Wisdom.

It was there that I met Mallek,

who was training to become a master wizard.

[warbling tone]

He always seemed like a nice enough fella...

[shimmering tone]

Such a beautiful girl deserves the finest gown

magic can produce.

[shimmering tone]

[Teela] Though he did have some trouble

controlling his magic.

[dramatic musical flourish]

Mallek eventually

improved his magic and became

a great sorcerer.

[shimmering tone]

But he couldn't believe that I never thought of him

as more than a... casual friend.

And that's the whole story.

Some women would be honored to have Mallek care for them.

Like it or not, I think you've got a rival.

[Mallek] Greetings!

I've been waiting for you, Teela.

[warbling tone]

Oh!

You put her down!

[springing noise]

Mallek, let Teela go at once.

She is mine, He-Man!

Heed my warning, and leave Stone Mountain.

Not a chance.

Mallek, this is ridiculous.

Is something wrong, my love?

Yes! Everything's wrong!

You can't force me to fall in love with you.

Not in a way that's real.

But you will love me in time.

Time is the one thing you've run out of, Mallek.

[buzzing]

Wait, what...wh... what's happening?

As I said, wizard,

your time is up.

Now you have to pay me for bringing you Teela.

What does he mean?

What do you owe that creature?

Mallek was so busy thinking of you,

he never stopped to consider the fee for my services.

Wh...what do you want from me?

Your soul, wizard!

[laughs maniacally]

My soul?

Oh, no!

It's true!

You did make a deal with that monster!

And now to call my master to take possession of you both!

Oh, master of darkness,

lord of all evil things,

come forth!

Your servant awaits!

[flames crackling, hissing]

Mallek, I have come for you.

Who dares intrude?

My name is He-Man.

You got it.

In today's adventure,

Mallek thought he could do whatever he wanted.

But instead, he found that when you do something wrong,

you may get away with it for a while,

but sooner or later, you have to answer for it.

Fortunately for him,

Mallek had friends who cared about him

All of us make mistakes, but doing something wrong

when you know it's wrong

Sooner or later, it catches up to you.
