I am Adam,

This is Cringer,

Fabulous secret powers
were revealed to me

"By the power of Grayskull!"

Picnics are a chance to get back

[Orko] Oh!

Uh-oh.

I did it again.

There are more modern ways

Adam, there's far better
firewood than ironvine.

I found this on
the forest floor.

I figured I'd get in
some fishing.

You could catch a dragon-whale
with ironvine.

It's unbreakable!

Oh, please don't
say dragon-whale.

They're scary!

Shake your arms, it's easier.

No, Orko, there's a down draft

Run that way, toward the forest.

Oh, good.

I am; now get going.

If that keeps happening,

it'll take you a week

He's right,

which means that
Adam and Cringer

won't be seen for a week,

among other things.

I wouldn't want Teela
to have that long

to think about
Adam's disappearance.

Let's go get a battle ram.

I can't find Adam.

He's probably back at the
palace, taking a beauty nap.

[regal music]

[Ram Man]
You don't need that ship.

I'll ram a new entrance
into the mountain.

[He-Man]
The mountain's solid stone.

You could get a headache, Rammy.

[Teela] Like the one Adam's
going to have when I find him.

Still no luck finding him, eh?

He and Cringer are probably out

picking daisies somewhere.

Maybe I'm being too harsh.

There was nothing he could do
to help the children anyway.

[Teela] Still,
he shouldn't have run off.

And he should be told.

Maybe if you tell him,

it will sink in.

I promise you, Teela,

Adam will know how I feel
about the whole thing.

If you find him.

He's never around
when you are anyway.

Yeah, you know, I don't think

I ever seen
the two of you together.

[Teela] It is strange that
your paths seldom cross.

Powers just will it that way,
I guess.

[clears throat]

Enough talk.
Uh, let's go get your sword

from the rock men before
they hurt themselves

or someone else with it.

[triumphant tone]

And then you can help me
find Adam.

I'm sure that once I've gotten
my sword back,

I'll be able to produce Adam.

Good.

Hm, I sure can't wait to hear

you telling him
what you think of him.

[boinging]

I told you it was solid, Rammy,

but you wanted to try it.

Maybe we could just

blast an entrance with a laser.

Duncan's laser could make butter
out of those rocks,

but the laser
might penetrate the lair.

And there might be lots of
rock people

in there who could get hurt.

Okay.

Let's give it another try.

[boing]

I'm more out of practice
than I thought.

I can make your job easier.

A mosquito can't help a hawk.

[boinging]

Well, I told you I could
make your job easier.

I found another entrance,

off to the side.

This has come in handy
twice today.

You never know.

[Ram Man] There's a whole

network of cave corridors
in here.

[He-Man] But this seems
to be the main corridor.

Be on the alert.

You don't know how many
rock people there are.

That's the corridor back
to the other entrance I found.

This way.

[Orko] Look at the pretty
cave paintings.

They sure are
gentle and peaceful.

Those two rock men
who att*cked He-Man

certainly didn't act
gentle and peaceful.

Listen.

"Rabar."

He's the one with my sword.

That way.

[brooding music]

[Ram Man] It's an entire world.

What's that big pit?

[Man-At-Arms]
It would seem to be a pit to the

center of the Earth.

That's the source of their

light, heat, and natural energy.

[Orko] Boy, if I could capture

some of the energy
down in that pit,

could I do magic-magic.

[Man-At-Arms] That pit
is bottomless, my friend.

[Orko] I wouldn't want to see
that big pillar fall.

It looks like it holds
up the whole thing.

[Rabar] I am leader!

Look.

Rabar is warrior leader!

[grumbling]

Rabar is their leader.

Or at least he thinks he is.

He seems to think the sword
makes him a leader,

but all it makes him is a bully.

How are we gonna get
the sword away from him?

[He-Man] Well, if I can rope one
of those rocks

with the ironvine,

I can swing down and snatch

the sword from Rabar's hand.

I'll need a distraction.

No sooner said than done.

are confused and frightened.

Give me my sword,

No!

You're gonna have to
fight him for it.

I won't.

what fighting is.

I won't be the one
who teaches them.

No, it can't be.

♪ ♪

It's a good thing Orko
got my sword back today

or Prince Adam might never
have been seen again.

The rock man who took my sword
thought it made him a leader,

but he was wrong.

A sword or any other symbol

doesn't make a person
a good leader.

What does is intelligence,
respect for others,

and an unselfish desire
to do good.

People are proud of a leader
with those qualities.

So if you develop them
in yourself,

you could become
a good leader too.

See you soon.
