He-Man

And the Masters of the Universe.

| am Adam,

Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets

of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

the day | held aloft my magic sword

and said, "By the power of Grayskull..."

He-Man

"...1 have the power!"

Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat,

and | became He-Man,

the most powerful man in the universe.

Only three others share this secret,

our friends the Sorceress, Man-At-Arms and Orko.

Together, we defend Castle Grayskull

from the evil forces of Skeletor.

He-Man

| sure hope this won't take long to fix.

It's hot out here.

| could use my magic.

No, Orko. That won't be necessary.

It's just a loose belt.

And we're almost finished.

Okay.

But what's the good of being a magician

if no one ever wants you to use your magic?

A magician?

Did | hear someone say he's a magician?

Yeah, me. But who are you?

Permit me to introduce myself.

| am Kothos, and I, too, was a magician,

until Evil-Lyn's wicked spell

changed me into this.

But if you're a magician,

maybe you can help change me back.

Orko, what's going on?

Well, | finally found someone

who really appreciates good magic.

At last. I'm free.

Teela, look.

Isn't that the evil wizard Kothos with Orko?

You're right. Let's go.

Thank you, Orko.

Your magic is excellent.

But | wonder if mine still works.

Only one way to find out.

Orko, look out!

A most excellent suggestion, little one.

Well, well.

It looks like | do still have the touch.

A pity that miserable witch Evil-Lyn isn't here

so | could deal with her as well.

You know, that's not a bad idea.

He-Man

Skeletor, this is Kothos.

Kothos? | thought | turned him into a sand slug.

That's exactly why | called.

Skeletor,

! would like to propose a deal.

You give me Evil-Lyn,

and | will give you four,

| repeat, four of your enemies in trade.

Skeletor, you're not going to listen to him, are you?

Of course not, my dear.

How could | trade my trusted right hand of evil for them?

Then what would you say

if | threw in He-Man as well?

At Snake Mountain, we don''t listen to fools!

Wait, Evil-Lyn.

We may be able to turn this to our advantage.

When you've got He-Man, we'll talk.

We shall talk indeed, Skeletor.

| know these ones are protected by He-Man.

If they're in danger, he will come immediately.

My magic will overcome He-Man's strength,

and then Evil-Lyn will be mine.

What are we doing out here?

It must have been Kothos' magic.

Well, then use yours

and get us back to dry land.

Ocean, ocean, change your motion.

To sea no more. Back to shore!

Sorry, guys.

| guess Kothos' magic is just too strong.

Don't worry. I'll swim and get help.

Adam, it's too far.

| think I've gone far enough. Teela won't suspect.

Still no sign of He-Man.

Maybe a giant wave will speed him up.

Still no sign of help.

In that case,

maybe we should just wave goodbye.

Cringer, that's not funny.

That wave is no joke!

Oh, who's laughing?

| can't even swim!

Oh, no. A tidal wave.

There's no time to lose.

By the power of Grayskull...

He-Man

He-Man

...| have the power!

He-Man

What are we gonna do?

Hold on tight, ‘cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

He-Man, you're here! Is Adam all right?

He's just fine. Now, get ready...

He-Man

...for the thrill of your lives.

He-Man

| knew it.

He-Man will soon be in my grasp.

He-Man

Is it over yet?

Sure is, old cat.

Kothos, | don't know what you're up to...

But you better cut it out,

or I'll turn you back into a sand slug.

Admirable courage, little one.

But | don't think you'll have the chance.

And now, for my prize catch.

What's happening? I'm...

Getting weak.

And I'm about to get my revenge

on Evil-Lyn.

| Knew you were too strong for my freeze magic,

but this helmet will keep you weak as a baby

until Skeletor arrives.

Well, Skeletor,

| have He-Man, and you know my price.

| will give him to you in exchange for Evil-Lyn.

Quiet, you foo!!

Before | turn you back into the slug you are.

Forgive Evil-Lyn's bad manners, Kothos.

You have done well.

We'll be there to make the exchange.

What are you talking about?

Calm down, Evil-Lyn.

We must play along with his little game

if we are to get He-Man.

Ah, of course.

You are right.

As always.

But, Skeletor, what is this?

It's all part of the game, Evil-Lyn.

All part of the game.

Trust me!

Excellent.

And so, it is time to Summon

my own floating palace for its latest guest.

Our palace flies again.

The master must be returning.

He-Man

Skeletor approaches.

Skeletor, this is carrying things too far!

I'm sorry, Evil-Lyn,

but capturing He-Man is more important

than the personal comfort of those who serve me.

You...

You're selling me out to the slug?

Flattery will get you nowhere, my dear.

Now, come along.

To capture He-Man, I'd sell out anyone!

Thank you for everything, Skeletor.

And | do mean everything.

Evil-Lyn, we're enemies,

but we're also each other's only hope.

Use your magic to free me and my friends,

and | promise I'll rescue you from Kothos.

Nice try, He-Man,

but from now on, you're mine!

He-Man's right. He may be my enemy,

but at least he will keep his word.

Nice work, Evil-Lyn.

It's great to be back in action.

Yeah, because now | can run and hide.

Kothos, wait.

You've got to help me with He-Man!

Sorry, Skeletor,

but he's your problem now.

So take him, with my compliments.

Don't worry, Evil-Lyn. I'll be back.

He-Man, look out!

You won't escape me now!

Uh, hey, you two,

I've got a present for you.

Oh, no, you don't.

Hey! What's going on?

I'm too weak to move this boulder.

Okay, you little magician,

now you're really going to get it.

All right, Teela, go for it.

Sure thing, He-Man.

He-Man

Now, hit it!

He-Man

Huh?

Teela, where did you learn that?

It's just a little something | picked up in warrior training school.

Wow! It looks like He-Man's

picking up a big something as well.

Skeletor, your roton got stuck in the sand,

so I'm giving it back to you.

Oh, no!

Cringer, where have you been?

| thought I'd only

get in the way.

It is over, isn't it?

No. We still have to rescue Evil-Lyn.

What? | gave her my word.

You're right.

Kothos probably dreamed up a horrible revenge

for getting turned into a giant slug.

But how are we... | mean, how are you

gonna get up to that floating palace?

Well, there's always a portable Sky Sled or two

stored in the Attak Trak.

With the extra altitude this cliff gives us,

we should be able to make it.

But, He-Man, even Battle Cat

couldn't fly a Sky Sled.

You can't expect me to go.

How come? Flying's a cinch.

Well, easy for you to say.

You're right, Cringer. We'll meet you back at the palace.

The one on the ground, that is.

Whew. That's a relief.

Well, good luck, everyone.

Thanks, old pal. We're gonna need it.

If you try to rescue Evil-Lyn,

you will be a sorry man.

A very sorry man.

There it is, Kothos' floating palace.

We're almost there.

And that's as close as you're going to get.

| never thought I'd be saying this,

but | hope He-Man proves you wrong.

Once he frees me, Kothos...

| hate to disappoint you, Evil-Lyn,

but He-Man's rescue mission

has just been canceled

due to stormy weather.

Hey! Where did this come from?

It's not like any normal storm I've ever seen.

Yikes! My floating powers just shorted out!

Orko!

Whew! Thanks, Teela.

Uh, | think | spoke too soon.

He-Man, help!

Grab hold, guys.

Whew!

What a relief to be able to float again.

That thunderstorm was a doozy!

Why, thank you, Orko.

And if you liked my storm,

you'll love my palace.

We should've known it wasn't gonna get any easier.

| think | liked the storm better.

Well, things are looking up to me.

Let's go.

But there's nowhere to go to.

Then we'll just have to make a way.

Oh, boy! We're safe!

But where are we gonna find Evil-Lyn?

I'm afraid you won't.

I've waited too long for my revenge

to let you spoil it now.

Teela, you and Orko look for Evil-Lyn

while | keep Kothos busy.

You'll have to catch me first.

That is, unless | catch you.

Teela, look!

Evil-Lyn!

Well, it's about time. Get me out of here.

Hey! What... What's going on?

Well, so much for surprise.

Get them!

Okay.

Magic powers, do your stuff.

| said "powers," not "flowers"!

Who cares? As long as it worked.

Exactly.

And if this force field didn't block my own magic,

I'd have gotten rid of the fools!

Now, if you don't mind, the key's over there.

Do you really think we should?

Evil-Lyn kept her part of the bargain by freeing He-Man.

Guess now we've gotta keep ours.

All right, but | wish He-Man were here.

You disappoint me, He-Man.

You were so easy to stop.

And after I've heard so much about your great strength.

| could say the same about your wisdom, Kothos.

A great wizard,

but you aren't smart enough to realize

that revenge is a game that no one wins.

You're wrong, He-Man.

My revenge over Evil-Lyn is going to be a complete triumph.

But come, join me. Maybe you can change my mind.

Hey!

Oh, dear.

| really must have that floor fixed.

Uh-oh. | think | Know where I'm going.

But | wish | were wrong!

There, Evil-Lyn. The force screen is deactivated.

Now He-Man's promise has been kept, and if | were you,

I'd leave this floating palace at once.

Never!

Kothos wanted his revenge. Now | want mine.

When I'm done with him,

Kothos will wish he were a sand slug again!

You two have served your purpose.

Out of my way!

Doesn't look like this gate's gonna hold much longer.

But with a little luck, it won't have to.

Whew. I'm glad that's over.

Now to find Evil-Lyn.

Take that, you miserable worm. And that!

- No, Evil-Lyn! - Stop, stop!

And | think I've found her.

Stop? I'm just getting warmed up!

Just remember, you did turn me into a sand slug.

| had good reason to want revenge.

And you kept me cooped up in a cage

like somebody's pet floogle mouse!

So now it's my turn!

He-Man!

We freed Evil-Lyn, just like you said.

But she doesn't seem very grateful.

Grateful? Ha, ha, ha!

You may have saved Kothos,

but you won't save the floating palace!

Oh, no. She's heading for the control room of the palace.

Now Kothos' floating palace

will be totally out of control!

Who knows?

Maybe revenge isn't such a great idea after all.

She did it. He-Man, she did it.

Evil-Lyn actually wrecked the control system of my palace.

We are doomed.

I'll tell you what, Kothos.

I'll save your palace if you swear off evil.

Forget about revenge.

Forever. Forever, | promise. It's a deal.

You'd better hurry, or it's going to be too late.

Quick. What have you done with our Sky Sleds?

Come. Come, I'll take you to them.

Good luck.

Brace yourselves, everyone!

He did it! He saved my palace!

Well, of course he did.

We're talking about my buddy, He-Man.

He-Man

The controls of my palace have been repaired,

and | must thank you for saving it and me, He-Man.

You'll thank me best by keeping your promise

to use your magic for good instead of evil,

and forget about revenge.

No need to worry, He-Man. I've learned my lesson.

Revenge is something only a fool could waste time on.

I'm through with it.

Now, that makes good sense.

What's more, I've thought of

a wonderful way to use my magic for good.

Really? What is it?

Oh, no. Not again.

Oops.

Sorry, Orko. That's not what | had in mind.

Look.

Now, that's more like it.

From now on, I'm going to fly over all Eternia,

and anytime a farmer needs rain for his crops,

Kothos' Instant Weather Service will be there.

Well, the next time Orko needs watering,

we'll be sure to let you know.

Today, we learned there's no such thing as getting even,

even if someone does something to you, and you get back at him.

And he gets back at you.

And you get back at him.

And he gets back at you. And you get back at him again.

And he... So you see?

It never stops.

No one is really getting even at all.

The best thing to do is talk it over and start fresh.

Now, you were going to say something?

See you next time!
