02x08 - Second Skin

[bunniefuu]

By the power of Greyskull!

Master of the Universe vs. The Snake Men

Cleric to Paladin D4

I got your empress, Roboto's gonna lose

Guard to Archer G4

I can't believe I actually...

Lost

But how? I captured your empress, I had you surrounded

Strategy Orko, I saw what you intended and led you into a trap

You must learn to think several moves ahead, and to always have a backup plan in case things go wrong

Lord Dactus, welcome my friend, may I offer you...

There is no time for pleasantries King Randor, I have something you must see at once

Last mid-moon, one of my patrols found this in Subternia

Is that what I think it is?

Snake Skin

I encountered a few Snake Men in the corridors of Lithos, I assume they were the last surviving members

This skin has openings for five heads

King Hysh is alive

The Snake Men, I thought they fell into the abyss

Hey, wait up!

Zodel cannot help you this time, he has entered a state of deep meditation and cannot be awakened

If King Hysh has returned, you and the masters alone must stop him

Can you at least help us find him?

I am still recovering from King Hysh's venom, my powers are too weak to sense his presence

I have only a faint premonition, fragmented

A serpent ring, and the Sea of Rakash, I do not know what it means

Perhaps the answer can be found in the ancient texts

There's no time, we have to find King Hysh now

By the power of Grayskull

I have the power!

Coming, Orko?

I think I'll stay here and take a look at those texts, figure out a strategy

The tablet of the Elders has yielded its secrets to me

What have you learned, my King?

The location of the Serpent's Ring

The Serpent's Ring? What's that?

An artifact of unspeakable power

Says here the Elders buried it in the Caverns of Rakash ages ago, after they locked up King Hysh in that void

Caverns of Rakash? Oh, I get it, the Caverns of Rakash became the Sea of Rakash when Hordak invoked the spell of separation

The Sea of Rakash, you have done well, Alkobrakan

Prepare to dive

They say where the Serpent's Ring is, but what does it do?

Perhaps the Elders saw fit to keep that knowledge from the world

The Elders aren't talking, but I bet I know someone who will

The sorcerers had a vision of the Sea of Rakash, we should find them there

Did she also have a vision of us kicking snake butt?

Engaging snake armor, underwater mode

We can thank the Snakemen, their shed skin provided me the DNA necessary to create it

Let's catch some snakes

Stay sharp, these waters are home to creatures every bit as dangerous as Snakemen

There!

Take the others, I'm going after King Hysh

This world will be mine again

Don't count on it

The mighty Zodak couldn't defeat me

What chance do you have?

Let's find out

Let's find out

Let's find out

Can't spit venom underwater

Don't need to

Cheela

She needs air

Thanks

Don't mention it

King Hysh

Found what he was looking for

Are you certain you know what you're doing, Orko?

I'm thinking several steps ahead, just like you said

I'm thinking several steps ahead

We want to talk to you

I have nothing to say

Tell us about the Serpent's Ring

Why does King Hysh want it? What does it do?

So my master lives

And he seeks the Serpent's Ring

When King Hysh finds it, Eternia is doomed

They're heading west through the Evergreen Forest

Let's move

If what Rattler said about the Serpent's Ring is true, we must warn the others at once

A yugo, I'm gonna learn more, in case we need a backup plan

Okay, Scaleface, let's talk

The Eternians are on our tail, my King

A perfect opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Serpent's Ring

Snake tracks, they lead into the village

Felis Folia, one of King Carnivus' settlements

The Serpent's Ring

Deserted

Something isn't right

Your persistence is most impressive

And most foolish

This day will be your last

Great timing, Robo

Orko and I learned the secret of the Serpent's Ring

It has the power to transform people into snake men

You mean, we're fighting villagers?

King Carnivus?

Linkamakan

Sulisladon

Isha Kranash

Fall back, I'll hold them off

You will do nothing but watch

And your friends become minions in my army

No

No

Look out, my King

Do your new master's bidding

Attack him

You don't wanna hurt

Duncan, fight it

I can't

Or do I want to

How can they be changed back? There's gotta be a way

Tell me

When my King arrives with his new army

I will enjoy watching you suffer

You tell me what I wanna know or I'll...

I need a strategy

Snakes have one natural enemy

I can't

Mangus, keep it away, keep it away

I'll talk, I'll talk

I'm waiting

I'm waiting

The Ophidian Spire

The Spire will spread the power of the Serpent's Ring over the entire planet

And soon, all Eternions shall be gloriously transformed

Never

Defiant to the last, how noble

The Ophidian Spire

Attack him

Attack him

Attack him

I'm going after his

I'm going after his

I'm going after his

I can't cast a spell if you can't say the words

What do you think of my strategy?

It's over, his

I wouldn't do that

I'm going after his

I'm going after his

I do not wish to harm you

D-Man, my apologies, Mackinac

My backup backup plan was to destroy the Serpent's Ring

But Ratlord said nothing on Eternia can destroy it

Nothing on Eternia?

Slinker Makan

Soul Slather

He's a clannish

I'm going after his

What?

No!

I'm going after his

I had the worst nightmare

The Snake Men?

I'm afraid they have escaped

Chin up, Orko

We couldn't have stopped his without your help

I just wish I could think two steps ahead

and figure out what the Snake Men will try next

One thing is certain

We haven't seen the last of them

It's always a good idea to have a backup plan

just in case something unexpected happens

Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a pal like me, man, either

See you next time

Thanks for watching!
