Post by bunniefuu »

♪ He-Man!

And the Masters of the Universe!



I am Adam, prince of Eternia

and defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

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 Greyskull

I have the power.

Cringer became the mighty Battlecat

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 Orco.

Together, we defend Castle Greyskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.

Is this what we've been looking for Melaktha?

You'll know for sure, once we clear those vines away.

Well, it looks like a cat.

The Temple of the Cat, to be precise.

That means those ancient books were correct.

There was a race of cat folk living in this jungle.

But what happened to them.

No one really knows.

But Perhaps we can learn something more by exploring this temple.

Well, there must be a way in?

I believe this should do it.

Shall I lead the way?

Well, you are the royal archaeologist.

Fascinating.

These carvings show that the cat folk had a high degree

of intelligence and artistic ability.

I... oh!

Lorenzo, hold on, I'll get a rope.

No time for a rope now.

By the power of Greyskull.

I have the power.

Uh.

How do you feel, old friend?

He-Man, where's the prince?

He's safe, but I'm more concerned about you.

I'm all right. No bones broken. I'm just a little sore.

Well, I think you should take it easy for

But the temple. I must find out what's inside.

You're in no shape to go exploring right now.

I'll check the temple out for you.

Thank you He-Man, but be careful.

Chances are, there are more traps.

I'll keep my eyes open.

Well, someone sure doesn't know how to treat guests around here.

This looks inviting.

Maybe, too inviting.

Well, if I can't go through, I'll just have to go under.

I don't like the looks of this.

It disappeared.

Ain't you being a bit too playful?

Wouldn't you rather talk this over, big fella?

Now, where did you go this time?

By the ancients!

That magical trap turned that monster back into a statue.

Viper, look what He-Man found in the temple.

Magnificent piece.

Did you have much trouble finding it?

Well, it was pretty well guarded.

I must thank you.

Well, he's already gone.

I'll just have to thank you another time then.

Right now, I believe we should take this back to the royal palace,

where I can study it further.

I must tell King Pa

King Pa, King Pa, my king.

The statue, it's been taken.

What?

Two humans found the way

into the temple. They took the statue and left with it.

Tell Katrina to come to come to my chamber at once.

I must know more.

Wow, where is that she-cat?

She's never around when you need her.

If she doesn't get here soon...

Your majesty.

Wow, the mysteries of science girl.

When will you learn to enter my chamber in a normal fashion?

Oh, so boring.

That was much more fun.

I didn't call you here for fun.

The Grimaldi statue has been taken from the temple.

You must get it back.

The Grimaldi.

That's the goofiest looking cat I've ever seen.

I don't like it. It's too scary.

Ah, Cringer, you think everything is too scary.

CRINGER: Only because everything usually is.

Cringer may be right about the statue.

It might very well have some evil power about it.

Power? Why don't we take a vacation for a while?

Some place far away from here.

Don't worry Cringer, my magic will protect you.

Now I'm really scared.

I think we should all get some rest.

Good idea.

If that statue does have some power, it should belong to me.

Wenstar, Wenstar, where are you?

I'm right here, Boney.

I have a little job for you, Bugface.

Pay attention.

No guards.

Perfect.

The bellton, someone's breaking in.

Hold it right there.

What in the world?

You've got to be quick to bag any fruit.

Is that so?

Very nice move. You're almost as good as I am.

But I really can't let you stop me.

Just what I've been looking for.

Stop.

What's happening?

There's a thief in the tower vault.

Cringer, wake up.

Is it morning already?

No, I'm afraid we've got work to do old buddy.

Oh, no. Anything but that.

Time for me to go.

He-Man, look.

The thief.

We'll need the talon fighter to follow him.

What happened?

He got away with the statue.

Oh, no. Oh, we must get it back.

We're all doomed.

Who are you?

The name's Katrina.

But you're the thief, King Randor.

What?

Your people stole the Grimaldi from our temple.

I was only trying to get it back.

You could have asked for it.

You didn't bother asking us.

Your majesty, this is getting us nowhere.

The statue's gone, and if what this woman says is true,

we may all be in great danger.

How do I know you're telling the truth.

I can vouch for her story, sire.

I was doing some research and came across a passage referring to this gramalkin.

And from what the passage said

it could easily destroy us all.

We better do something.

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do until we locate the thief.

Well, unless I miss my guess, he's heading for Snake Mountain.

Looks like our old friend Skeletor is behind this.

We better contact the palace and let them know what's happening.

Calm down, Katrina.

I'm got the guard searching everywhere for that thief.

We'll find him.

I can't wait.

I'm not the patient type.

I never would have guessed.

There's a message coming in now.

He-Man!

Tila, I'm tracking the thief who stole that statue.

He's taking it to Snake Mountain.

Snake Mountain! Oh, no.

Skeletor mustn't get it. That statue contains a terrible demon.

Demon?

It's called the Vermalkin.

And if Skeletor should release it...

I'll just have to see that he doesn't.

You sit tight. I'll get back to you.

Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer.

I'm tired of waiting.

No, I'm going to do the job I was sent to do.

Hold on, Katrina.

You're not going anywhere.

At least not without me.

Perfect.

I must figure out what this statue's power is.

The alarm.

Keep your eyes open, cat.

SKELETOR: Greetings, He-Man.

We've come for the statues, Skeletor.

Well you won't get it, you muscle bound buffoon.

My y illusion has trapped your friend, He-Man.

Where are you, Bonehead?

Right here, fool.

And this time, I'm no illusion.

My stun beam will take care of you.

We did it. We b*at He-Man.

You mean I did it, Bugface.

Now take him below and put him in the force field cage.

Snake Mountain is just ahead of us.

Good. I'm itching for some action.

Oh, Skeletor, there's a wind raider approaching.

Use the nullifier ray to shut down it's engines, spider brain.

And capture them when they land.

Our engine's lost it's power.

We'll just have to glide in.

Kayla, Kayla. Oh no.

Oh, she's been knocked out.

And I can't fly this thing.

Well, my friend,

looks as if I do this alone.

Well, hello big boy.

Who are you?

The name's Katrina.

I'm here to help out He-Man.

All on his side, I hope.

He-Man, I've got to find him.

Hey, wait for me.

You.

You go find your friend Big Boy.

This thing is mine.

You'll be sorry for this, furball.

Furball?

Way to slow, spider breath.

Where are you?

Perfect.

Reveal your power. I Skeletor command you.

Skeletor, stop. You don't know what you're doing.

There's a terrible demon found in that statue.

You can't fool me with a tale like that, He-Man.

What?

Good work, cat.

No, it can't be.

Stop, get back. What are you doing?

You must obey me. You must.

No, I must escape.

That thing is going to bring the whole ceiling down.

Oh, my head.

Teela

He-Man, what's happening.

Skeletor has freed the Grimalkin.

But it seems to have buried itself in Snake Mountain.

KATRINA: It won't stay buried long.

What does it take to stop the thing?

Your people stopped it once. How did they do it?

According to our legends

only the power of the storm can bind the Grimalkin.

The storm. That gives me an idea.

Cat, you distract them.

Teela, you come with me.

I'll help you big boy.

This salt deposit is just what we need.

Teela, use your freeze ray on it.

What are you trying to do?

Start a storm.

You see, when salt particles are put into moisture

right in the clouds, rain is produced.

It worked.

He-Man, that thing is coming after us. The ray isn't enough.

Then I'll just have to use another power of the storm.

He-Man, are you all right?

Let's just say I wouldn't want to make a habit of that.

Did it work?

Just look.

He-Man found the secret of stopping the demon.

Without Katrina, he never would have known what to do.

I must say I was surprised to learn you cat folks still existed.

And I'm sorry for breaking into your temple.

Anyway, it's our fault.

If we hadn't been so mistrustful of your race,

we could have all avoided danger.

I hope in the future, your people and ours can be friends.

Well, I'm sure of it. Now I must get back.

I'll give you a lift, if you don't mind.

I'd love it.

HE-MAN: Come and see us again soon, Katrina.

Oh, I will. I've got an itch to see that cat's meow again.

Oh, you mean He-Man?

Oh no, I mean Battlecat.

Gee, Cringe, looks as if Battle Cat's got himself an admirer.

In today's story, I made the mistake of not trusting

the people of Eternia just because they were different.

You can't judge a book by it's cover

means, you can't tell from the outside what something is like on the inside.

And that goes for books as well as people.

Not liking a person because he or she is a different race

or religion is wrong.

People should be judged for themselves, right Katrina?

Right you are and right you are.

So long.
