I am Adam, Prince of Eternia

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

No, no.

You were banished, Darkdream.

I sealed it myself.

You're under arrest.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Slime monsters?

Hey, I was having the same dream.

There haven't been

any slime monsters on Eternia since...

[He-Man] Since Darkdream was sealed in his chamber.

Come on, Cringer.

Darkdream's coming back.

We know.

He gave all of us nightmares.

Not only is Darkdream returning,

[Darkdream laughing wickedly]

I hope they enjoyed their little nightmares.

Now they will know I'm returning.

And it is up to you to put Eternia

into total darkness so I can leave these chambers.

Why have you called me here?

I haven't the power to darken the Eternian sun.

Evil-Lyn is right, my lord.

It is an impossible task.

Impossible?

Well, do it anyway.

You know I can only live in darkness.

But my powers no longer work well on Eternia.

They are too weak.

The Sorceress saw to that.

[Darkdream] And what about you, Evil-Lyn?

It would take more power than mine alone.

[growls]

There must be a way.

Find it!

Or that wand which gives you so much power

will be returned

to the black pools from which it came.

[regal music]

♪ ♪

How could Darkdream's powers have escaped?

Well, the seal on the chamber must have been broken.

It would have taken a large explosion or a land disturbance.

[yawns]

I had a rough night.

Yi-yi-yike!

It's about time you woke up.

Well, a guy can't get any sleep around here,

what with all the explosions.

Explosions?

Where, Orko?

In the Crimson Valley.

They've been keeping me awake for days.

[Teela] But that's so far from here.

Orko can hear a pin drop in the Tanglewood Forest.

They've been setting off some big blasts out there.

Could those explosions have broken the seal

to Darkdream's chambers?

Well, the seal is here.

And the Crimson Valley is here.

They're awfully close.

That's solid granite.

They must be using Nodroxyn.

Nodroxyn?

It's the most powerful explosive on Eternia.
