♪ He-Man

[He-Man] And the Masters of the Universe.

I am Adam, Prince of Eternia

and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

-[booming] -This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

the day I held aloft my magic sword and said,

"By the power of Grayskull!"

♪ He-Man

I have the power!

-[booming] -[crackling]

[roaring]

Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat

and I 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.

[upbeat music]

Wow, Man-At-Arms is working

on some great new inventions here.

Hey, what's that, I never saw so many training wheels.

Hey, I wonder how it works.

Well these must be the brakes.

[low rumbling]

Uh-oh, I can't hide!

[whooshing]

Uh, uh, ooh, ow, ow, ah!

And, therefore, in recognition

of He-Man's many heroic achievements,

I hereby proclaim the first annual He-Man Day

throughout the kingdom.

Well, how do you think it sounds?

I like it, I think it's about time you recognized He-Man.

Don't you agree?

Well, I, uh...

I'm sure He-Man will appreciate this honor,

your highness, I'll see to it that he receives

-[booming] -[Orko screaming]

What's that?

-[engine revving] -Orko.

Ah, oh, how do I stop this thing?

-[booming] -[clanking]

[Adam] Are you alright?

Uh, sure, I'm just a little dizzy.

Orko, I spent six months working on that vehicle.

Eh, guess I goofed.

How many times have I told you not to play in my workshop?

[whirring]

Sorry, sir [sneezes].

Oh, no.

The proclamation, you ripped it!

Eh, see, I messed up again.

I'm a real [whimpers].

There, there, Orko, it was just an accident.

Don't worry, we'll draw up a new He-Man Day proclamation.

He-Man Day?

We're honoring He-Man because of

how important he has been to us.

Isn't that a fine idea, Orko?

Sure, what will we do without He-Man?

He's a real hero, I'm just a noodlehead.

Orko, you don't have to leave.

I don't wanna create another disaster.

[rumbling]

[Teela] What's that, wait a minute.

[Adam] It's an earthquake.

[Orko] This time it's not my fault.

[creaking]

[Teela] Look, Mount Eternia.

It's some sort of a temple.

Let's investigate.

♪ He-Man

[laser zapping]

"Beware, those who pass through these portals

shall witness absolute power."

I didn't know you could read that stuff.

I've always been interested in ancient Eternian languages

and this one is extremely old.

I wonder what it means by absolute power?

We should go inside and investigate.

Maybe we better wait for an invitation.

The seals have never been broken.

They say that magical treasures are within.

Magic, wow, let's find them.

We better wait until I can translate the rest of the writing,

there could be danger inside.

Aw.

That's right, this temple's been buried

for thousands of years, it can wait one more day.

Good idea, this place gives me the creeps.

Magic treasures, just what I need.

-[Adam] Orko? -Uh, coming.

[whirring]

So those fools have decided to wait?

Now's my chance to seize the magic within Mount Eternia.

[zapping]

I'll break the seals and claim its treasures for myself.

Who knows what evil lurks behind these doors.

-[zapping] -[booming]

-[thudding] -Yeow!

[laughs] The magic is more powerful than I thought.

I'll be back and when I return,

the ancient secrets will be mine [maniacal laughing].

♪ He-Man

[booming]

He-Man Day, gee, he sure is lucky.

No one would ever think of having Orko Day.

[Adam] Orko, what's wrong?

Adam!

Oh, I didn't know you were here.

Oh my gosh [chuckles], my ears are blushing.

I'm so embarrassed.

Well, you wanna talk about what's bothering you?

[clears throat] Well there's really nothing to talk about but it would

be nice to be famous.

Now, Orko, everybody likes you and I'm sure

-[zapping] -Gotta go, see ya.

♪ He-Man

[zapping]

[eerie music]

There must be some way in here, I wonder if

-[whooshing] -Oh, gee!

Where am I going [screaming].

What kind of temple this is?

Looks like a cave.

You.

You come to me.

I wonder what it is.

He who releases me from my chamber

shall see his greatest dreams come true.

Hey, that sounds like a pretty good deal, any dream?

What do you desire?

Why, if you really wanna know,

I wanna be famous just like He-Man.

So it shall be, lift my chamber.

[zapping]

Maybe I shouldn't

[cracking]

At last, I am free!

[stammering] Now about my dream,

I don't suppose you could arrange...

Dream, they'll be no dreams for you.

-[zapping] -[clinking]

[zapping]

[suspenseful music]

[Adam] Mount Eternia's acting up again.

That's the worst acting I ever saw.

I'm worried it's going to erupt, we better get moving.

Good idea, how 'bout to the beach?

Come on, Battle Cat.

Right, we'll take the thunder outta that lightning.

Oh, go, go get him, He-Man, yikes.

[zapping]

I am pure energy, you cannot stop me.

I am the Energy Beast, once I ruled all Eternia.

Now that I am free, I shall rule it once more.

I go now to another dimension.

There I shall multiply my energy

and when I return, beware all Eternia.

[booming]

Now, now we're all done for.

Not quite, I shall devise a plan

in which the Energy Beast will suit my own aims

and we shall rule Eternia together [maniacal laughing].

[Sorceress] The Energy Beast was created when our planet was formed.

For millions of years it was imprisoned

in its molten center, it escaped to the surface

during the prehistoric volcanic eruptions,

which formed Mount Eternia.

It terrorized our ancestors until they discovered

the secret of how to control its terrible powers.

Unfortunately, that secret has been lost.

The Energy Beast feeds on pure energy itself.

Anything we use against the Energy Beast

will be absorbed and used against us,

Ten times more powerful.

You must find the gold chamber of the ancient.

It is located somewhere within Mount Eternia.

That is where you may find the magic

to control the Energy Beast.

Raven, raven, fly to me.

Raven, raven, what did you see?

Raw, save themselves I did learn.

Inside Mount Eternia they return.

And find the chamber at all cost

revealing secrets that were lost.

Ah-ha, the legendary lost secrets,

well I shall find them the first.

Then when the Energy Beast returns,

I will be able to strike

a bargain with him [maniacal laughing].

[suspenseful music]

[Adam] Are all systems ready, Teela?

My instruments check out.

[Man-At-Arms] Your course is already set.

I just hope you don't run into any problems.

The rotorocket is still in the experimental stage.

E-e-experimental?

Oh boy, why didn't I take the bus?

Pull yourself together, Cringer.

The survival of our planet depends on us.

I don't see how we're gonna find that gold chamber.

That's an awfully big mountain.

Ignite fusion charger, activate mega drill.

[cracking]

So far, so good, we're already

a half mile into the mountain.

[Man-At-Arms] Maintain your course.

You're right on target.

How far away are we from the...

-[booming] -[Man-At-Arms] What happened?

Engine burnout, we hit a rock formation really hard.

I can't restart the thrusters, we're stuck.

Stuck, in the middle of a mountain?

I think I feel faint [whimpers]

and I always feel faint.

I'll check the fusion room.

Well the fuel lines look in order.

The gravity coils are secure.

So that's the trouble, the drill's driveshaft is broken.

I'll have to fuse it back together again.

Fortunately, I brought along the perfect tool.

By the power of Grayskull!

♪ He-Man

This should do the job [grunts].

-[sizzling] -There.

The drill is better than new

but maybe I better help it along.

[upbeat triumphant music]

Hey, the drill's working.

And look, there's He-Man.

[whirring]

[booming]

He's smashing through solid stone, wow.

♪ He-Man

Gee, it's beautiful.

-Where's He-Man. -I'm sure he's nearby.

Let's check this place out,

come on, Cringer, we've got work to do.

Couldn't you wake me up when it's over?

-[beeping] -Yes, Man-At-Arms?

[Man-At-Arms] You have no time to lose.

The Energy Beast has returned.

Oh, no.

Hey, look at that.

[whirring]

Welcome, I speak to you from the past.

I am the spirit of the ancients.

You must help us.

The Energy Beast has escaped.

I know, I see all and hear all that passes.

Behold, the Eternian crystal.

It alone has the power to control the Energy Beast.

There is great magic within the crystal.

You must take it and--

The Eternian crystal,

exactly what I have been waiting for.

Skeletor!

The Eternian crystal shall be mine.

The Energy Beast will reward me for bringing it to him.

Hold it, right there, bonehead.

I bid you a fond farewell, forever [maniacal laughing].

Spirit of the ancient, can't you stop him?

I am of the past, you are the ones

who must act in the present.

You must regain possession of the Eternian crystal.

It is your only hope.

But if, when, when we do, then how will we use it?

By giving the Beast what it most desires

and now I must return to the ancients.

Wrong again, boneface.

Put me down, down, you musclehead.

I'll do my best, He-Man.

You haven't beaten me yet, He-Man, I still have the

You need to cool off, Skeletor.

We've got to reach the top of Mount Eternia

before it gets here.

♪ He-Man

What are we gonna do, He-Man?

This mountain is a connection to the very center of the planet.

The Sorceress said that's where the Beast came from.

Right, Orko, and we've got to make sure

Wow!

Wow!

The center of Eternia's at the bottom

of that shaft, when

Orko, throw me the crystal.

The Eternian crystal.

Once I have it, my power will be complete.

Is this what you're looking for?

I must have that crystal.

If you want it, you'll have to take it from me.

What happened to the Energy Beast?

He's back at the center of Eternia where he belongs.

What if he comes back?

I'll just have to make sure that doesn't happen.

but has asked that it be changed instead

to a day honoring Orko.

-Me? -And Teela, Man-At-Arms,

and Adam, because you all worked together

to save Eternia from destruction.

Well, you wanna know what I have to say about that?

What, Orko?

Let's hear it for He-Man, hip-hip-hooray!

Hip-hip-hooray, yay He-Man, yay He-Man!

In today's story Orko found out

how important it is to have patience.

I couldn't wait to go in the ancient temple

and I ended up causing a lot of trouble

for me and everyone else.

I'm happy you learned your lesson.

Oh, by the way, I guess I'll be seeing you

at the big parade tomorrow?

Tomorrow, I gotta wait 'til then?

Oh why can't we have the parade today?

-Orko. -Okay, I'll be patient.

But it won't be easy.

-See ya next time. -Hope it's soon.
