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

I'm afraid it's even worse than | thought.

Ballast regulator.

Ballast regulator.

What's this, major surgery?

Our high-frequency transmitter is down, Teela.

And you're just in time to nurse it back to health.

Not today. | just stopped by to tell Father

I'm taking one of the Jet Crawlers on a mission.

Hmm. | don't know of any mission.

I've been asked to take three students

on a field trip to the Mystical Forest.

You sure you don't need me to come along?

| think | can hold my own with 13 and 14-year-olds.

But, Teela, this transmitter is the only one

on the Crawler's frequency.

Radio contact will be impossible.

You'll have it fixed before we're two miles from the palace.

Don't worry, Father.

Teela, uh, maybe you should wait.

I'll be fine. Resume surgery. Bye!

That woman's got a mind of her own.

Well, let's get back to work, Adam.

Transducer. Transducer.

I'll fix it with a quick spell from my new magic wand.

Forget it.

Well, please let me do something.

Octal base. Screen grid.

"Octopus race." "Green lids." They must be here someplace.

Now, Orko, if you want to help,

well, then, help!

Maybe... Maybe this is it. Or maybe this. Uh...

Oh, no!

What a blast!

| don't understand it.

| do.

Now, it's no laughing matter, Adam.

The beam switch has been blown into the stratosphere,

thanks to Orko.

| don't suppose a simple "I'm sorry" would help.

We can't send or receive signals.

The frequency of our transmissions is uncontrollable.

All radio equipment will remain useless

until | can design a new diode.

Then let's get started. What do you need?

Hmph. Pure rainbow quartz.

All right. Where do you keep it?

| wish it were that simple, Adam.

A new supply was due to arrive yesterday,

but it was delayed, so we have none.

Can't it be found anywhere on Eternia?

Yes, Adam, there is one source,

a cavern in Snake Mountain.

It's so beautiful!

But eerie, like someone dreamed it up.

It's very real.

And you have a special lesson to learn here.

Not me.

I'm going to be a Royal Guard,

not a royal gardener!

Is that so, Krill?

Uh, what's happening?

Very funny.

Those were guardian mushrooms. They don't like intruders.

Maybe you do have something to learn, Krill.

Look!

Cynda, don't!

What was that?

That's the way the flower protects and feeds itself.

And you could've been dessert!

But it didn't look dangerous, Teela.

| think you're all getting my point.

Danger hides behind many disguises.

Ooh! Are you sure

there's no place else to get that quartz?

Just hang in there, Cringer.

The weather is always rough this close to Snake Mountain.

Just don't get too close!

Cringer, | can't see.

Well, | can, and it's pretty scary!

There it is, Snake Mountain.

Maybe Skeletor's not home.

We'll be in and out so fast,

he'll never know he had visitors.

He-Man

| hope Teela finds a good picnic spot.

I'm starved!

I'm bored.

Look, there's still time to have some real fun

on this trip if you dare, Tager.

What are you talking about?

| dare you to take this Jet Crawler for a little spin.

Without telling Teela?

That's crazy.

| dare you. Come on!

It does sound sort of exciting, Tager.

Well, yeah, sounds exciting, all right.

I'd do it, but we can't leave Teela out there.

Forget it, Krill.

She can use her belt radio to signal for a Wind Raider.

She'll be all right. Come on, | dare you.

And | double-dare you!

You double-dare me, huh? All right. Why not?

No! Stop!

They're headed for Snake Mountain.

I've got to stop them.

Teela calling base.

Teela calling base. Over.

They must have repaired the transmitter by now.

Teela to base! Can you hear me?

Teela calling base. Do you hear?

Oh, | hear you, my dear Teela.

| hear you!

So you're having transmitter problems.

What a pity.

Aww.

Poor Teela is lost.

Let me capture her, Skeletor.

Forget it, fur-ball. Teela is mine!

And what luck! She can't call for help.

That means no He-Man rushing to her rescue.

| never get to do the fun stuff.

Once | have Teela, | may be able to trade her

for the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

Please, don't say that again.

Say what?

"Grayskull."

Oh, that. You're too sensitive.

Evil-Lyn, go answer Teela's call.

We can't leave her stranded.

That would not be very nice of us.

With pleasure, Skeletor.

And hurry. My patience grows short

to possess the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

| really wish he wouldn't do that.

We've got to find an unguarded entrance.

Duncan said the vein of quartz

runs through the whole mountain.

Oh, you are a dreamer.

Skeletor couldn't possibly have locked every crack and crevice.

Are we talking about the same Skeletor?

Here. What'd | tell you?

Come on. Help me push this aside,

and we'll squeeze between the rocks.

Come, push, Cringer.

Push.

Adam!

This rock is looking at me!

Cringer, we don't have time to fool around.

Well, then you'd better tell this guy.

Cringer!

Adam!

Adam!

Oh, good catch.

Anytime, Evil-Lyn, anytime.

What have we here, intruders?

We've come too far, Krill.

| never should've taken your stupid dare.

Please, turn back.

Hmm. | guess we've gone far enough.

What's that?

Snake Mountain!

Turn around, Tager, and hurry!

I'm trying,

but there's something pulling us towards Snake Mountain.

It feels like a giant magnet.

I'll bet this spring comes from inside the mountain. Let's take a look.

But | can't swim.

Don't worry, Cringer. I'll help you.

Just hold your breath.

Let's go.

I'll surprise Skeletor with this catch!

Come on. We've got to find that rainbow quartz and get out of here.

Not so fast!

We have to get to that quartz!

By the power of Grayskull...

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

...| have the power!

He-Man

Where do you think you're going, scale-face?

He-Man!

Would you like to go for a little swim, Mer-Man?

He-Man

You'll never get out of Snake Mountain!

Skeletor will see to that!

He-Man

Look! Teela's been captured!

Now there's no one to help us!

Now that he's captured Teela,

Skeletor is probably looking for us!

We've got to get out of here!

Watch out!

Whew! | don't think he saw us.

Well, let's not wait around to find out.

Look!

It's a way out!

We can climb that tree

and escape through the opening.

What about Teela?

Once we're out, we can get help.

Let's go!

You had He-Man in your grasp, and you let him go?

| should banish you to the burning desert,

where there's no water!

No, please!

They won't escape from me again.

| think the children are more your equal.

Perhaps, you could find them!

Uh, sorry, Mer-Man.

It's time to turn He-Man over

to a real monster.

Do you know a real one, Beast Man?

| get no respect.

Without radio contact, there's no way

He-Man could know I've captured Teela.

Then why has he come here?

I've got to get rid of him fast.

Man-At-Arms said we'd see an iridescent glow

when we got near the rainbow quartz.

You will,

but you're not even warm, He-Man.

If you needed rainbow quartz,

why didn't you just ask?

| come here in peace. If | can leave that way,

it will be a pleasant surprise.

My people will be pleased.

I'll give you the quartz on one condition:

that you leave Snake Mountain immediately.

Attention, all guards.

Prisoner Teela has escaped.

Close all doors.

Teela?

No wonder you were so anxious to get rid of me.

And the children? What have you done with them?

Nothing! Take them and leave!

No. | won't leave here

without Teela, the children, and the quartz.

Then, perhaps, you'll never leave Snake Mountain.

Find her! Recapture Teela!

It's going to snap!

But we've got to get to the opening.

Teela!

There they are!

Help us, Teela!

Don't move! That limb's ready to break!

Teela, behind you!

Uh-oh.

The walking junkyard.

If | could only contact He-Man.

Stand by for one of my father's specials!

Hurry! Slide down the wire!

Leaving so soon?

Oh, | wish we'd stayed in the Mystical Forest.

| wish | hadn't taken that dumb dare!

We're not going anywhere with you, Trap Jaw.

Now, get out of our way.

Why, gladly.

You lump of worthless ore! Let us out of here!

Teela has to be in one of these caverns.

Maybe she's hiding.

Good thinking, Battle Cat.

We have to let her know we're here.

Okay, boy, let ‘er rip.

What's that?

It's Battle Cat!

lf Battle Cat's here, then so is He-Man.

He-Man!

Come on! All together!

He-Man!

He-Man

Let's go, Battle Cat.

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

Enjoy the ride, Trap Jaw.

He-Man

What are you doing here?

| could ask you the same question.

It's a long story.

Let's just get the children out of this evil place.

He-Man

This must be Skeletor's launching pad.

How clever of you, He-Man.

You should've taken my first offer.

Then you would've had the quartz.

And you would've had Teela.

Now, | will have them both!

Well, how nice to see you, Teela.

Stop right there, He-Man!

It's my fault. It's all my fault.

Teela will not leave Snake Mountain!

Well, | won't leave without her.

Then a few of my friends will have to show you the door!

And take these urchins with you.

A little oil slick should slow you guys down.

Get him, you dullards, get him!

Just think what you could do if you had skates.

What do you think you're doing?

Putting you on ice.

Now, to free Teela.

Incompetent fools!

You'll all be banished from my sight if they escape!

Be ready to take off.

But the launching bay is closed.

Not for long.

Shut down the power source!

I'll get it!

Start the Basher, Teela!

Come on, start!

Still want to play?

Ever think of going into the circus?

Put me down!

You should keep your Bashers in better repair, Skeletor.

Not again!

| had Teela right in the palm of my hand!

Why does this always happen to me?

If this Basher doesn't start,

| sure hope it will glide.

Now, for the rainbow quartz.

We've got what we came for.

Now, let's head for home.

He-Man

I'm sorry, Teela.

| was afraid the others would think | was a coward

if | didn't take the dare.

Well, sometimes it's hard to do what we know is right.

It was more my fault than yours, Tager.

I'm just glad we all got out

of that terrible Snake Mountain,

thanks to He-Man.

Well, I'm sure he's glad too, Teela.

Ah, it's completed.

We have a new beam switcher.

This | got to see!

Not again!

Orko, look out!

Oh, no!

Hey, Orko, that was some move.

Oh, nothing to it.

Oh, we're back on the air.

Good work, Duncan.

Thank you.

But | couldn't have done it without He-Man.

Well, if | see him, I'll tell him.

Taking a dare doesn't prove you're brave or smart.

It could prove you're pretty foolish,

because most of the time, it will get you

or someone else in trouble.

The smartest thing to do is not to take a dare,

and not to worry about what people will think.

If you only do what you think is right,

you'll come out the winner.

Don't learn the hard way,

like the children in today's story.

Until next time, so long.
