He demands his next gift be silence!

You told us to sing though.

- Ow!
- Next gift!

Happy birthday, Lord Skeletor.

Is this for the Battle Cat
I'm supposed to be getting?

Uh, it can be.

Where is the spy bot

with Beast Man's big birthday present
for Skellie?

What do you mean,
Beast Man's birthday present?

Capturing Randor with the Tri-Klops
was my plan.

Less talking, more gifting!

Yes, Lord Skeletor!

I'm still waiting on my Battle Cat.

Trust me, this is better.

I call it Painthor!

Like a panther?

But a bike.

And with pain?

Only for your enemies.

These V-twin Havoc engines

pull more cat power at 12,000 RPM

than He-Man's tiger could ever dream of.

Beast Man has an even better present

for Skellie.

Behold!

A rock?

- A wish stone from Evil-Lyn's...
- Evelyn's.

Evelyn's private collection

of ancient treasures.

Am I supposed to rub it, or what?

- I wish for...
- Shh!

If Skellie says his wish out loud,
it won't come true!

If you're gonna do it,
you might as well do it right, right?

Ugh, fine.

But I really don't know what I want...

both:

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

I am applying science to a magical object

to try and bring a ghost back to life.

So no then.

The energy that Eldress used

to displace the castle to Avion
is very similar

to the Proto-havoc
bleeding off of the sigil piece.

- But havoc is bad.
- I know!

That's why this is so interesting.
It's like Proto-havoc

and Grayskull energy
are two sides of the same coin.

So there's money involved now?

All I have to do is trick the castle

into thinking I'm Eldress

using the same power.

Then I can re-displace us

and scoop her back up

from wherever we left her.

One assumes I can get

a more succinct explanation
from Eldress once we've found her.

Did you speak with Teela?

Yeah, and she needs backup to get

to the final sigil piece
before Evelyn does.

Then let us make haste.

So I should just keep
working on this

and not help Teela with you?

Finding Eldress helps Teela.

You still haven't told her yet,
have you?

Not exactly, no.

Well, don't worry.

I'll get Eldress back somehow

probably.

How hard could it be?

Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh, okay.

Um.

Power circuits are open.

Sigil piece is plugged in.

Grayskull energy is...

energetic?

Infusing the Eldress orb

with just enough Proto-havoc

to not blow us up

in three, two, one.

Yes...

Yes!

Uh...

Less yes, less yes.

Well, that is unexpected.

Ouch, ahh!

Very unexpected.

Oh.

I have the Power!

Come on.

Whoa!

What is that thing made out of?

Here's a hint.

Whoa!

Now, to see where you brats

have been hiding from me all this time.

Huh, huh?

What's going on?

I think we might be stuck

in some kind of cosmic lockdown.

So unlock it.

Okay, okay!

I can't do that

if you turn me into a statue.

Fine.

Beast Man can find any quarry.

I mean, if vanishing forever

was his big birthday wish,

we wouldn't want to ruin that for him.

Oh, Beast Man sees

where Trap-Jaw is going with this.

But with no Skellie, who's in charge?

Finally!

I'm not gonna let you

take that sigil piece!

Whoa!

What did you do to it?

I don't know!

I was just trying to use it

to re-un-displace Eldress.

Who's that?

The old sorceress.

She's alive?

She's more of a ghost,

but nobody knows what happened to her

after she warped the castle to Avion.

Grayskull is in Avion?

Uh...

Technically

we're in cosmic limbo, remember?

And unless we can undo this lockdown,

we're gonna be stuck here for a long time,

like maybe all of eternity.

This is the worst birthday ever.

Wait.

How did you get here?

Manticore Training for Novices,

A Collected History of Astronautics,

Ancient Trollan Secrets.

These books are a waste of time!

Maybe not.

It says here that wish stones

can grant a single wish

of whatever your heart desires.

The only thing I desired for my birthday

was a Battle Cat,

and instead I'm trapped here with you.

I am not a Battle Cat.

Yes, I'm aware.

Why would I have wished for

something this terrible?

Uh, "Very little is known about

wish stones because the magic used

to enchant them is

an ancient Trollan secret"!

Bah!

I'll get it!

Grab that book!

I'm trying!

Yes!

Whoa!

Ha, I did it!

I can't read this.

Hey, that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Lots of people can't read.

I can't read this, you imbecile.

It's in Trollan.

Oh, I'm pretty good with languages

usually.

Mm-hmm...

I think it says something

about making the wish with your heart.

"Whatever your heart desires."

I-I get it!

You make the wish with your heart,

not with your head.

And you only get one,

which means I can use my heart

to wish us out of here!

Oh, you'd love to wish me out of here,

wouldn't you?

You'd wish me right out of existence!

Now get to work

and unstick this infernal castle,

or I'll do the same to you!

You could've said please!

♪ Lord Skeletor is nice ♪

♪ Lord Skeletor is kind ♪

♪ Lord Skeletor is wonderful ♪

♪ And glorious and... ♪

Oh, would you stop talking

with your mouth full and go to your room!

Go!

I demand to speak to my brother.

Skellie's gone.

But you can speak to us.

We'll be ruling Eternos

until further notice, I guess.

An urgent message for the king!

The kingdom is in danger!

Beast Man will hear the message.

With Trap-Jaw.

Also we're lords...

Lord Trap-Jaw and Lord Beast Man.

See, the thing is,

we been brainwashed by Skeletor

to do only what the king says.

King says sleep, we sleep.

King says jump, we jump.

Sometimes he says awful things.

I'm haunted, I am.

Beast Man will make you tell us!

Before you attack your own soldiers,

perhaps I might offer a solution.

No funny business?

There's nothing funny

about a kingdom in danger.

There's a crown on my head,

which still means king, yes?

What is your message?

We've just received a report

from the badlands of a...

Humongous dragonfly

eating up everything it can!

This dragonfly will be

Beast Man's greatest quarry yet!

Unless I claim the glory for my throne,

myself.

Might you do another favor for the crown?

Input command.

So this stone is floating around

out there in space,

and I need you to find it.

Directive understood.

Locate and poach quarry.

Uh, sure,

just make sure you bring it back here

before you poach it.

What are you doing?

Uh...

Just making a helper.

You know,
to inspect the power relays outside,

unless you want to do it.

Pass!

Wouldn't this all literally go faster

if you were powered up or whatever?

Having the power of Grayskull

doesn't mean I always need to use it.

Different tools for different jobs.

Wait, do you never power back down
into Keldor?

Keldor is gone,

even if it is his birthday.

You keep saying that.

What does it mean?

Keldor is gone,

and he's never coming back.

Those words in that exact order?

No, a "birthday"?

Eh... you don't know what a birthday is?

Didn't your parents throw you one

after another after another?

I grew up in an orphanage.

Hey, maybe today's my birthday, too?

No.

You've already taken me away
from my party.

I won't let you take my special day, too!

Now tell me, where is the bathroom?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Which one of you can teach me

a little something about birthdays?

Whoa!

Ugh, happy birthday to you, nephew.

Huh, is my head really that small

or is it just a perspective thing?

Why doesn't helmet girl have a nemesis?

Surprise!

No one gets the drop on Skeletor!

What do you think you're doing?

I'm giving you the party you wanted?

This isn't the party I wanted.

Well, I mean,

do you even really know what you want
though?

Your heart made a wish,

and the stone sent you here of all places.

I'm not still obsessed with this place,

if that's what you're implying.

You know what?

Forget I said anything.

This is your special day, right?

And now I have the Power

to make this one birthday

you'll never forget.

- Ork-o!
- Polo.

Ork-o!

- Ork-o!
- Polo!

Ork-o?

Polo!

Ahh!

Maybe this day isn't so bad.

Don't look so mopey.

There's plenty of cake on the wall.

Uh, I gotta go!

I just remembered that

I left Grayskull's cosmic oven on

when I baked the cake.

What was I thinking?

Whatever.

Initiate poaching sequence?

No, no, that's okay.

You did great.
I'll take it from here.

Did you really believe that you could

out-scheme Eternia's greatest schemer?

It's not a scheme!

I'm just trying to fix the castle!

Well, you're doing a terrible job.

By the Power of Grayskull!

I have the Power!

But I have the wish stone.

Come on!

I've still got bruises
from the first fight.

Feel free to surrender again.

Whoa!

Uh...

Whoa, whoa!

A-ha!

Finally!

Ahh!

Oof, ahh!

Wait!

I know destruction is kind of your thing,

but don't destroy it.

Why should I do anything you say?

Uh, I baked you that delicious cake?

Delicious is a bit strong.

Okay, well, it's the thought that counts,

and my only thought, my only wish

right now is to get us both
out of this situation.

You could wish for anything

in the whole universe, and that's it?

Cross my heart and hope not to die.

Just get it over with.

I'd rather be wished out of existence
than spend another second stuck

in this castle
with your incessant sentimentality.

The cake was... pretty good.

Well, here goes nothing.

Skeletor?

Skeletor, where?

Never mind, it worked.

Ugh, I missed you guys so much!

Um, thanks?

So what happened?

I wished for family, I guess,

and here you guys are.

You're my family.

Um, did I miss something?

Guards, seize them.

Wait, what?

They only listen to their king,
don't they?

Well, good thing he's back.

Nice try, Randy.

Like what I've done with the place?

Never mind, don't care what you think.

Guards, lock him up!

Ooh, felt good to say that!

You'll never complete the sigil.

Oh, I will.

Trap-Jaw, make sure my Painthor can fly.

We're headed to Avion.

Without the Eldress' protection,
Grayskull's piece is ripe for the taking.

Happy birthday to me.
