[Danavas] The Valley of Power.

[bird screeches]

And that giant bird must be the mother roe

that guards the valley against all intruders.

It's just as the legend says.

[screeching]

Well, I'd better move fast if I want to steal your egg.

And when it hatches,

I'll teach the little monster to obey my every command.

And when it grows as big as you, my giant lady...

[screeches]

All Eternia had better watch out.

[cackles]

[roe screeching]

Well, that sounds awfully loud

for a miniature snow hawk.

Come on, Cringer, I know my birds,

and that is a miniature snow hawk.

Adam, Cringer, look out!

both: Oh, no!

[roe screeching]

I guess it wasn't so miniature after all.

Come on, guys.

That's the mother roe that guards the Valley of Power.

We can't turn back now.

Oh, want to bet?

Yikes!

Cringer!

Oh, don't let go, Adam.

Oh, don't let go!

Don't worry, old pal, we won't let you down.

Am I safe yet?

[He-Man] Safe as can be.

[sighs]

Teela, how do Adam and I let you

talk us into these crazy adventures?

Come on, Cringer.

The Sorceress told all of us

about the magical spring in the valley.

It rises once every thousand years,

and today is the day.

All you have to do is drink the water,

and the magic will make you

as brave and strong as He-Man and Battle Cat.

Wow. What do you think of that, Cringer?

I can't believe it.

B-Battle Cat is my idol.

You really think it's possible, Teela?

Well, maybe not,

but anything will be an improvement.

Hey, that wind should be freezing, but it's warm.

It must be coming from the valley.

We'd better hurry, 'cause if we're late,

we'll have to wait another thousand years,

and I don't think any of us has the patience for that.

I finally made it,

and now to steal the egg of the mother.

Great galaxies, it's even bigger than I thought.

I guess I'd better get out of here

before the mother returns.

Well, this is it.

This is your magical spring?

It looks pretty dry to me,

unless, of course, the magic water is invisible as well.

[Teela] Give me a break.

The water only comes up one day every thousand years,

but the Sorceress couldn't tell me the exact minute.

Well, it'd better happen soon...

[roe screeching]

[Cringer] ...or we're all gonna be bird food.

Calm down, guys.

We haven't done anything to that bird,

so why should she bother us?

[roe screeching]

You may think we haven't done anything

against the mother roe, but try telling that to her.

[screeching]

Uh-oh. She's after me.

It looks as if someone else is in trouble too.

Get down.

Yikes!

- Who are you? - My name's Teela,

and my friends are Adam and Cringer.

Oh, and I'm Danavas.

Why is that monster bird after us?

Maybe she's protecting the magic spring.

Is that why you're here, to become more powerful?

Then the legend is right.

Drinking the water will give me the power I want.

Well, of course,

I plan to use my powers to fight evil,

but just where is the spring?

We'll be standing in it,

when the waters rise, that is.

Look out, you two. Here she comes again!

[roe screeching]

Hey, Cringer, I think it's time

we became more powerful ourselves,

and we can't wait for that magical water either.

By the power of Grayskull!

What has she got against us?

It's almost as if she were protecting her children.

Here she comes again.

Wait a minute. What's in that knapsack?

[screeching]

He-Man, Battle Cat.

You sure came at the right time.

That monster just flew off with the woman.

I tried to protect her, but I couldn't.

Come on, Battle Cat.

[roars]

I'll be right behind you.

As soon as I drink my fill of magic water, that is.

[laughs]

Battle Cat, when we get to the top,

you've got to tell mother roe we mean her no harm.

I just hope we speak the same language.

[roe screeching]

[gasps]

[rumbling]

Glittering galaxies, what's going on?

It's happening!

The magical waters are ready to rise!

You must be ready to drink!

[water bubbling]

Amazing, the legend was right about this, too.

Well, old pal, I hope you're not thirsty,

because whether she realizes it or not,

Teela still needs help.

One hero coming out of the Valley of Power

is more than enough for me.

No wonder the mother roe is mad.

Danavas has stolen her egg.

What's...what's happening?

I feel... I feel incredibly powerful.

That's it!

The magic worked.

[roe squawks]

My baby bird.

I don't believe it.

The magic is making the baby grow

to full size.

[roe screeches]

Thanks to my new magical power,

you are now under my complete control.

Too bad.

No more water means

prince Adam and Cringer lost their chance

to be heroes.

And now I think it's time to take care

of He-Man and Battle Cat as well.

Teela, are you all right?

I'm fine, but what about Adam and Cringer?

Don't worry. They're all right.

But I think we'd better get out of here as well.

He-Man!

[He-Man] Uh-oh.

This calls for some fancy footwork.

[grunts]

[laughs] Enjoying your ride, He-Man?

Sure thing, Danavas. It's a real kick.

I'm so glad,

but you've come to the end of the line.

Where did that menace of the skies fly off to now?

I'm sorry I asked!

[laughs maniacally]

Pretty strong wind, isn't it?

Ooh!

Now, this is what I call a real cliff hanger.

I've got only one chance...

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

And that's to learn very quickly how to fly!

Oh, no! It's He-Man.

[growls]

He's dropping like a lead balloon.

I think I'd better leave flying to the birds.

But wait. I think I've got the hang of it.

He did it! He did it! He-Man did it!

[Battle Cat growls] Way to go, old pal!

[chorus] ♪ He-Man ♪

[He-Man] Teela, Battle Cat, clear the runway.

Here he comes.

He-Man, are you all right?

It was fun, Battle Cat,

but I wouldn't advise anyone to try it,

unless they were born with wings.

Well, I'm brave enough

but not dumb enough to try that.

Good.

Fool!

You've only made a temporary escape,

but the royal palace of Eternia is doomed.

[laughing maniacally]

The king and queen are at the seashore.

And Man-At-Arms and the troops are all out on maneuvers.

Which leaves Orko at the palace all alone.

[roe screeches]

[Teela] Oh, no!

The mother roe, she's back!

Come on, Battle Cat,

see if you can find out what's going on.

I can understand what she's saying,

and I'll bet she can understand me too.

[Battle Cat growls]

[roe squawking]

[growling]

[squawking]

Well?

Danavas took her baby.

She wants her baby back, and I told her we'd help.

In that case, Teela, you hitch a ride

with our new friend to the palace.

But Adam...

Don't worry about Adam or Cringer.

We won't leave until we know they're all right.

We'll meet you at the palace.

[Teela] Just get there as fast as you can.

Once I've demonstrated my power,

Prince Adam and the whole royal family

will fall to their knees and bow to me.

[laughs maniacally]

[Orko snoring]

Yikes!

Hey, what's going on?

Oh, no!

Go back for He-Man and Battle Cat.

Do you understand?

Orko, where are you?

Watch out, Teela.

We're under attack.

I know, and your hammock just gave me an idea.

But we've got to hurry.

[laughing maniacally]

Here they come, Orko.

You know what to do.

[Danavas laughing]

It'll take more than a mere rope to stop us.

Fly under it.

- Now! - [roe screeches]

Oh, no! We've been tricked.

We did it, Teela! We did it!

And you're both gonna pay for ruining my nap too.

Yikes!

Look out, Orko!

That bird is dangerous.

And so am I!

Let's get out of here!

Boy, I sure wish He-Man were here.

Come on, Battle Cat.

An Eternian snail can move faster than this.

[growls] One more crack, and you're walking.

[roe screeches]

Uh-oh, sounds like trouble.

Nope, that's the mother roe.

And she says Teela sent her back to give us a lift.

I guess Teela didn't think I was fast enough either.

[squawking]

Yikes.

Hey, Teela, help! I'm slipping!

Orko, why don't you just levitate?

Levitate? Oh, yeah.

Gee, thanks for reminding me.

Teela, Orko!

He-Man!

Quick, go to the Sorceress

and get something to get rid of the magic

of the Valley of Power.

The mother will take you there

while Battle Cat provides a distraction

to let you get away.

Hey, I want to stay and help He-Man.

Next time, Orko. I promise.

Ah, Teela, I never get to do anything exciting.

[Sorceress] Teela and Orko are coming.

I must think.

An antidote for that baby roe,

one that will return it to its mother as it should be.

As for that evil Danavas,

well, I needn't worry about him.

Anger reducer, a touch of baby love.

Hmm.

Some motherly understanding.

A pinch of a baby's cry.

[roe screeches]

T-Teela! I-I can't hang on much longer.

They're here, and just in time.

Help! Help!

[crash] Yow!

Orko!

[Orko] Wah, wah, wah, wah.

It's all right, Teela.

Orko was only splashed with a bit of the antidote

I had prepared for you.

Oh, and don't worry about Danavas,

the effects of the water will wear off any moment now,

just like Orko will recover.

[groaning]

What's happening?

You know, for a minute there, I thought...

Come on, Orko.

And thank you, Sorceress.

Eh! Get him off.

Oh, no!

So much for my clever plan.

Battle Cat, watch out!

Oh, no, not again!

Don't worry, Battle Cat. I'm on my way.

Great work, He-Man, but now what?

I think it's time to call in reinforcements.

[whistles]

Eh, what are those two up to now?

[roe screeches]

Get ready, Battle Cat.

You've got to be kidding.

You've got a better idea?

Now!

Yow!

[He-Man] We did it!

Battle Cat may have escaped,

but He-Man is mine!

[growls] He-Man, you forgot just one thing.

I can't fly this crazy thing!

Just hang on, Battle Cat. I'll think of something.

[Battle Cat] I hope so.

Your airplane is shaking the stripes off of me.

I love the fresh air at this altitude,

but I'm not so sure I like the view.

Yow!

[whistles]

[growls]

Am I glad to see you.

Just get me back to solid ground.

Oh, we made it.

Dirt, rocks. Oh, I love it. I love it. I love it.

[laughing]

I sure hope that stuff works.

It did on you.

He-Man, we've got the antidote!

[He-Man] Great work, Teela.

[roe screeching]

Open wide, baby roe.

It's time for little monsters to take their medicine.

[roe screeching]

[roe gulps]

[roe squawking]

It worked!

He may be huge,

but he's still a little baby at heart.

[roe squawks]

Now, that's what I call a happy family.

We don't have any antidote left to use on Danavas.

Don't you remember, Orko?

The Sorceress told us his power would wear off by itself.

And until it does,

I think these should keep him out of trouble.

Don't worry, He-Man.

I've learned my lesson,

and I intend to pay for my evil deed anyway I can,

just as long as I can keep both feet on the ground.

[laughing]

It sure is nice to spend the day in the woods.

Nature offers us much to enjoy.

Unfortunately, some people do things

which hurt the plant and animal life in the forest,

like Danavas in today's story.

By taking the mother roe's egg,

he upset the natural order of things.

So the next time you're in a beautiful outdoor setting,

enjoy yourself,

but be sure to leave things just as you found them.

That way, the next person can enjoy them too.
