[pounding]

Hello, Adam.
What are you sculpting?

It's going to be a surprise.

It seems like a lot of work
for a hobby.

I'd rather do magic.

See this rock?

I'm gonna turn it
into a teeny little fish.

[shimmering tone]

[creature roars]

[creature gurgles]

I think I need
some more practice.

Adam, I brought something

that should make sculpting
a lot easier.

[He-Man] What is that, Duncan?

It's my new beam ray.

[Nerbs speaking
robotic language]

[Teela] How does it work?

[Man-At-Arms] With this control
stick, you point the antenna

at what you want to sculpt
and fire away.

Hey, let me try it.

Here goes.

[zapping]

A monster!

A m-m-monster!

[Teela] That's you, Orko.

[yelping]

I like the monster better.

Duncan, you didn't invent this
just for sculpting.

No, actually,
it's a very powerful w*apon

that I've set at low power.

Why all this secrecy?

Well, this was one way
to test it

without anyone knowing.

If the wrong people got it,
it could be a dangerous w*apon.

[Nerbs speaking
robotic language]

[zapping]

[electronic beeping]

[electronic beeping]

There. That completes
the pieces of my game.

Now all I need is a victim
to play the game with me.

[Nerbs speaking
robotic language]

Yes, I understand.

Man-At-Arms is there
with his beam ray.

Excellent.

Power me.

[zapping]

[warbling tone]

Ah, yes, there it is.

Man-At-Arms, his daughter Teela,
and Prince Adam.

Hmm.

Here goes.

[zaps]

[warbling tone]

[zapping]

[expl*si*n booms]

What happened, Father?

I don't know.
Some sort of power surge.

Is that what the
full-powered beam ray can do?

Even more.

Well, I'd like to take
a closer look at that tunnel.

Come on, Cringer.

Man-At-Arms, you're amazing.

What a waste using your genius
only to do good,

but I'll soon change that.

Nerbs, power me.

[zapping]

[Man-At-Arms] Who are you?

I am Negator,
future master of all Eternia.

Well, Negator,
what do you want here?

I want your beam ray,

and I want you.

Well, you'll get neither.

No one says no to Negator.

- Never!
- [zaps]

[expl*si*n booms]

[rumbling]

The tunnel! Adam's in there!

Well, don't worry.
He can get out the other side.

I wonder what caused this.

I think something very strange
is going on out there.

It doesn't look
too good in here either.

We'd better find out.

By the power of Grayskull!

Prince Adam

in the Valley of the Desert.

For what reason?

I don't know, but he said
it was an emergency.

Well, thank you.

Oh, say,
I don't believe we've met.

Uh, no, Captain.

I've just been transferred
from the Mystic Mountains.

I hope you like it here.

[vehicle whooshes]

[static crackling]

Man-At-Arms, I am repeating
my generous offer.


- Come work for me.
- Save your breath.

I will never work for you.
Never.

I have something
that will change your mind.


Teela! If you...

[Negator] Don't worry.
She is perfectly safe.

I demand you release her
immediately.

You demand?

[cackles]

If you come to work for me,

I will release her.

If not, she'll be with me

for a very long stay.

It is your decision.

Then I guess I have no choice.

Very wise of you.

Bring your beam ray
to the Valley of the Desert,

and come alone.

With your genius
and your beam ray,


nothing will stop me!

[He-Man] Have you seen Teela?

Not since she got your message

and went
to the Valley of the Desert.

Message?
I didn't send her any message.

- Where's Man-At-Arms?
- I don't know.

[He-Man] And I don't see
his beam ray.

Hey, something's going on.

Eh, it looks like rain.

Does anyone have an umbrella?

He is fine,

perfect for my game.

Mm.

This sure isn't

Of course I can.

Effective, but dumb.

What's that?

Nice of you to drop in.

Of course I let them escape.

It's all part of my game plan.

Whatever game
you've got planned,

you're going to be
the big loser, Negator.

I never lose.

Nerbs, power me!

[zapping]

[beam crackling]

[warbling tone]

[Negator] No more of your games,
He-Man.

Now you'll play my game.

It's an easy game.

Just find the end of the maze,
and you'll be free.

Of course, no one
has ever found it before.

Well, standing around isn't
going to get us out of here.

Let's get going.

[Ram Man] To which way?

[shimmering tone]

[He-Man] Look out!

Boy, that was too close
for comfort.

I don't think I like this game.

I wonder what other surprises
are around.

Here, my pigeons, have a ball.

[electronic beeping]

[mechanical whirring]

[rumbling]

I think we got company.

[He-Man] Lots of company.

This one is mine.

[He-Man]
Well, you used your head.

Now I'm going to use your feet.

[crashing]

Bull's-eye.

Very good, but remember,
the game has just begun.

Negator, you won't be so happy
when we get out of here.

Now which way?

It doesn't make any difference.

- [electronic beep]
- [He-Man] Let's try this one.

[He-Man] I don't think
there's a welcome mat

in front of that door.

What do we do?

Go through it, of course.

I'll have to time this
just perfectly.

This should make it
more interesting, He-Man.

[electronic beep]

[metal clanking rapidly]

Okay, here goes nothing.

[Ram Man] That's what I call
a hot trick.

[He-Man] Let's hope that's
the last problem we'll have.

No, this will be
your last problem.

[mechanical whirring]

[He-Man] Hmm, what do we do
with a giant bag of wind?

- Blow it away?
- Exactly.

[wind blowing]

Come on, we can't be too far
from the exit.

Now you've fallen
right into my trap.

Time to finish the game.

[thunder booming
and lightning crackling]

Hmm. Which of the four corridors
do we take?

[whooshing]

[whirring, metal clanking]

[Ram Man] You mean
which of the two.

Or, uh, which of the none.

[Negator] Oh, too bad.

You've come to the end
of my game.

I told you
no one has ever won my game.

I never lose.

There's always a first time,
Negator.

Would it do any good
if I hollered "help"?

- We haven't lost yet.
- Yeah, I know.

Never give up
till you've tried everything.

Ha, well, we're going to need
everything we got right now.

[He-Man] That was
your big mistake, Negator.

Jump on, Ram Man!

didn't work, did it?

I'm not finished yet.

You'll have to do
better than that.

You'll never get me!

Quick, let's get our friends!

The console is about to explode!

[expl*si*n booming]

Thank goodness you're all right.

He-Man, what happened?

Well, let's just say
you won't have to worry

about Negator anymore.

Ah, that's a relief.

Come on. Let's go home.

About time.
I'm getting hungry.

Lucky Adam.

While we were going
through all this,

he's probably at home
playing one of his games.

I don't think he likes games
as much as he used to.

What makes you say that?

[fire crackling]

[He-Man] Just a hunch.

Everybody likes to play games,

but when they do,
it's natural to try and win.

But some people
try so hard to win


that they forget about safety.

They get excited,
lose their tempers,


and then run the risk
of hurting themselves


or someone else
by playing too rough.


[crash]

No game is worth an injury.

When you play,
don't be so anxious to win

that you'll do something
which you'll regret later on.

Play it safe.
