02x06 - Divided We Stand

[bunniefuu]

Krass, I...

Shh!

Hey, Kitty, don't make a deal out of this.

I'll be gone again before you know it.

Where are you going?

Where have you been?

Saving Eternia?

Among other things.

I just need something special

for my next, uh...

next mission.

And I kinda didn't feel like having

to explain that to anyone.

Dad, you're okay!

I barely survived

that cave-in, but here I am.

Good thing I had my lucky helmet.

It took most of the blow.

When do I get a helmet?

Hopefully you'll never need one.

Here goes nothing.

The adventure continues.

Hey, who's there?

Stratos out!

I have the Power!

Eldress can't just be gone.

Everything has to go somewhere.

You just haven't been using

the right magics.

Which is why it's so good

to have you back.

We kinda had no idea what we were doing

even trying to find Eldress.

Maybe I could have tried finding her

sooner if you had told me

what was going on.

We have all been busy saving Eternia

in our own ways.

From Skeletor!

And hey-o!

Speaking of Skeletor,

it turns out he knows exactly

where we are now so it's only a matter

of time before he shows up looking

for those sigil pieces.

How would he know that?

Not sure.

But my intel suggests it's accurate.

That said, it stands to reason that...

if Skeletor is indeed on his way to Avion

with Randor's army, along with,

presumably, his dark masters...

the one sigil piece in his possession

in Eternos would then be left

relatively unprotected.

Okay, we don't have a ton of time.

Teela, see if you can

get a hold of my dad.

He'll know the palace

better than anyone else.

Duncan, try and get a hold

of Krass on comms.

I can try again.

Wherever she went,

the reception must be terrible.

What... what about you?

Stratos might not like me right now,

but he and his people need to know

there's an attack coming.

Okay, that's either a really big navit...

Stranger things have happened.

Or we picked up a stowaway.

Whatever it is, it doesn't sound friendly.

Duncan, what's happening?

It's trying to find
the other piece

I've got tied in the basement!

We should probably stop it.

I've got it!

It is very determined!

Duncan, what happens if it hooks back up

with the other piece?

Nothing good?

Oh no, you don't!

By the Power of Grayskull...

...I have the Power!

I might need...

someone else...

to call Stratos!

And where do you think

you're going?

Take a hint, huh?

You aren't part of the team.

From the looks of it right now,

neither are you.

And that's something I find

very interesting.

Besides,

you seem to know where you're going...

and now that I know what the rest

of Eternia has to offer,

why not follow you and spread

the Gospel of Stratos, far and wide?

I don't remember anyone saying

they wanted to meet you.

- That's why it's called diplomacy.
- Whatever.

Just stay out of my way

while I do my thing.

Can't do that if I don't know

what your thing is, now can I?

My dad got the rock in my helmet

from some cave in the Mystic Mountains.

I wanna know more about it.

The Mystic Mountains?

Fantastic!

I've always wanted to meet

a Spider-person!

I'm not too awesome

for the Spider-people, right?

Awesome enough to eat.

Oh, they eat people?

Spiders eat birds.

That's offensive.

To both sides, really.

Whew!

That should be the last of them,

hurrying to join the others

on their way to you.

Great.

Do whatever you can to get past whoever

Skeletor left behind,

and steal that sigil piece out from under

his nose while we deal with him here.

He doesn't have a nose.

We'll do our best, Teela.

What about you, Manny?

Why are all three of you so quiet?

I suppose I never expected to walk

these particular planks once more.

- What?
- Perhaps he thinks

we're dealing with pirates.

Manny, there are no pirates here.

Though I can't vouch for

any of Eternos's other alleys.

No, my tiny understudy.

"Planks" as in the stage.

As in, all the world is one.

Stage fright is the technical term

for what I am experiencing.

This isn't a performance, Manny.

This is real.

And I know you can do it.

What if I can't?

Oh!

When I... or when the original Orko

performed for a new audience,

he would frequently get nervous.

I suppose I'm just worried

about being judged, is all.

Just remember you've got Randor

backing you up as the curtains rise.

Or part.

I've never been to a play.

Wait, where is Randor, anyway?

I'm going to take five.

Ork-O?

About King Randor...

Captured?

That's what Ork-O said.

Yeah.

This is gonna be awkward.

He was your responsibility, Teela.

Sorry, He-Man.

Was I just supposed to let Evelyn

get that sigil piece for herself?

No!

Then why are you mad at me?

Because Randor's my dad,

and I just got him back!

Fine, but why didn't you tell me

about Eldress?

To keep you focused.

On keeping my dad safe.

Why do you get to rescue your dad

and I don't get to rescue

whatever Eldress is to me?

What is Eldress to you?

- I don't know!
- Okay!

Everybody, listen up!

Excuse you?

Skeletor is on his way with an army

that we can't fight and henchmen

I'm not entirely sure we can beat,

who have weapons that nearly

k*lled us once already,

so maybe we should be less about

the fighting with each other

and more about the planning about how

we're going to use our sigil pieces

- to corner the birthday boy...
- Birthday boy?

...And break his havoc staff

once and for all!

I think he stopped breathing.

Duncan, breathe.

So that we can free the Legions of Eternos

from his control, and then we can

all retake the city,

and then once that day is saved,

we'll all work together

to try and get Eldress back.

And if you keep arguing,

I swear as man-at-arms of Castle Grayskull

that I will turn that Wind Raider around

and drive you both back home!

- Yeah, sure.
- Fine, man.

Whatever.

Well, excellent roar, Duncan.

- I didn't know you had it in you.
- Huh?

I blacked out... what happened?

We've got a J-Walker in sector 5.

If Teela were here,

she could make us invisible.

But she isn't.

There's still quite a lot of security

between us and the Palace.

Hut, hut, hut!

Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut!

- Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut!
- Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut!

We'll need to blend in!

As man, machine, or monster?

How will I be received?

Assuming we aren't arrested?

Only one way to find out.

The Old King rejected me after I...

altered myself to please him.

The people Below accept me

for all that I am.

The people Above...

what if they don't?

When I returned to Eternos,

the guards laughed at me.

It was humiliating.

But with the help of my friends,

I realized who I really was.

Who I really am.

Every day, I choose to be so much more

than either an ancient wizard, or a...

Malfunctioning security bot detected.

Exactly!

Oh.

Designate-1-9-8-3, power down immediately.

Unit must be connected to hive mind

for factory reset.

Whoa!

Manny, help!

What happens if they catch you?

My Trollan reconfiguration would spread

to every other RK in the kingdom!

And as you can plainly see,

there are plenty of other

RK units in the kingdom!

The likely outcome would be chaos.

Unless a little chaos

is just what the magician ordered.

Manny, I'm gonna need to borrow

your monster for a little improvisation.

Yes, and?

Let's just get in and out.

Nice and quiet like.

Don't worry, I'll win them over,

just like I won over my people.

Wait, why did you have to win them over?

Aren't you born into being a king?

Not on Avion.

I wasn't even born with real wings.

So that's why they sparkle?

That's why they shine.

These sky blades gave me the edge I needed

to win the throne.

I would have been a nobody without them.

Would that have been so bad?

I guess I never stopped to think about it.

So I try harder than everybody else.

And fly harder than everybody else.

So I can win harder than everybody else.

How does that help me at all right now?

A win for Stratos is a win for you.

Stratos!

You know that this is gross, right?

Stratos out!

Hey, how you doin', man?

Yeah... right.

Stratos, you, uh, you got this?

From a winning perspective?

Go find your cave.

Uh, are you the boss?

Two chirps for yes, one for no.

What does one long

bloodcurdling screech mean?

Hold up, let's chat.

I'm Stratos, lord of Avion.

You're making diplomacy very difficult.

Link complete.

Hive mind accessed.

Ork-O, my small friend.

What's happening?

Ork-O!

The Orkening is upon us.

You can't be serious!

There isn't even a crosswalk!

King Skeletor's the one with a bee in his

boney bonnet 'bout jaywalkin', not me.

Shockin' number of meetings about it.

Real stickler for proper sidewalk use.

RK, do your thing.

Citation issued.

So issue it.

Citation, citate, cite.

Uh, Tuvar, my RK might be on the fritz.

You think I broke it?

I was about to ask you

the same thing, Baddrah.

The Orkening is upon you.

The Orkening is upon you.

The Orkening is upon you!

Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut!

Hut, hut, hut, hut!

Abracadabra, Abracadee!

We will fight for liberty!

For liberty!

I came a long way to see

what your people had to offer,

and I have to say, Web Guy, I'm impressed.

Yeah, you're right.

Webstor sounds better.

How'd you like to join a little team

I'm putting together?

Is that a yes?

Sounded like a yes.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

He'll be fine.

Dad, what kind of gem did you find

all the way out here?

Oh, no.

I wish I hadn't asked.

This is ridiculous!

The power in these pieces is tremendous!

And it's honestly amazing!

All the more reason we can't let

Skeletor complete it!

No matter how bad

it might want to complete itself!

Come to think of it,

not sure how strong I made those

bindings for that other sigil piece.

Everybody okay?

As long as we don't let those two bump

into each other again... yeah, sure.

What?

Ugh, that I heard.

Those are the scout alarms.

Avion's in danger, and of course

the King is nowhere to be found.

There's no chance those alarm horns

were just about the weather, is there?

Avion won't survive that much firepower.

You won't be fighting them alone.

So, you have a plan?

You're the one that yelled at us earlier,

- and you don't have a plan?
- No, no, no.

I yelled that we needed a plan.

I think I might have one.

And we're going to need the sigil pieces

to pull it off.

Skeletor needs to be stopped here and now,

for both kingdoms.

For Grayskull.

And for all of Eternia.

For all Eternia.

For all Eternia.
