≪thunder>

General tatalan, how nice of you to respond so quickly to my

Call. It's hard to say no to one of your

Invitations, skeletor. He was real

Happy to come here. Let's get this

Straight. I didn't come because that walking can opener made me.

I came because I heard that you had a plan to defeat he-man.

Such plans I find very interesting.

And I want to see that do gooder defeated just as much as you do.

Well then I have just the plan for you.

Trap jaw? Yes master?

Trap jaw the general and I have important business to discuss.

Oh yes master. It has nothing to do with you.

Yes master. Trap jaw?

Right here master? Get out of here.

Right master right.

Not too bright is he? As you can see general,

When I require intelligent assistance I have to look

Somewhere besides snake mountain. That's why I called

On you. You mean for my brains?

That and because you are heartless. When I

Said heartless I meant just that. As you are a

Goblin I understand you do not have heart? That's true

We don't need them. Then you do not have a

Heart b*at, right? Of course not but I don't understand

Why do you ask these questions? I thought you had a plan to defeat he-man?

I do. But this time we're not going to defeat he-man.

We're not? No this time he-man is

Going to defeat himself. ≪evil laugh>

♪He-man

It doesn't look good your majesty. Sensors report that

Skeletor is building a huge structure on the other side of the planet.

Exactly where is this structure whatever it is located?

On the crystal sea your majesty near the small village of zach.

I've been there before. A charming, peaceful little place.

Skeletor is forcing all the villages to work for him.

Well, we'll have to put a stop to that. Still the situation worries

Me, it is not like skeletor to be so obvious in his actions. It's as

Though he wants us to investigate. But what reason could he have

For that? I don't know. Duncan, why don't you fly out to

Zach and take a look for yourself? Right away your majesty.

♪He-man

I've never seen

Anything like it. What do you suppose it is? A dimensional

Gate. But it's so huge. What's

Skeletor up to now? That right side doesn't seem safe to

Me. The supports are weak.

This looks like trouble. I better change. ♪By th power

♪Of grayskull. He-man

♪He-man

♪I have the power

Excellent. Excellent. That right hand side

Is booby trapped beautifully. The slightest push will

Cause it to collapse. Are you ready tataran? Get me test the force field.

Is it working? Give it a try.

Excellent. Turn it off for a minute.

Now to change you into your disguise.

How do I

Look? Perfect, perfect. Get ready

Now. Here comes he-man.

Skeletor, why are you forcing honest men and women to do your

Dirty work? You should be ashamed of yourself. Honest

Men do an honest days work or I destroy their village.

Why you...but your structure is not safe. Some one maybe

Injured. That's your opinion, tin hat. Now

Go away. I have things to do. Well if you want my

Opinion,this thing is almost as silly looking as skeletor himself. Well

Who asked you you little vermin?

That was a big mistake skeletor.

Not as big as the mistake you're about to make he-man.

≪crash>









Ha ha you fool you can't reach me. That's what you

Think skeletor. If I can't go around, I'll come through.

No.

≪crash>





≪alarm buzzing>

No. No.

There was someone

Under there.

≪rocks crashing>

What a mess. I guess skeletor...he-man?

Help us. There is someone under here. Oh no.

Stand aside.





Oh no what have I done?



My plan is working perfectly. Now I must make

My change.



Is he...there is no heart b*at.

He's dead.

He was my brother. You k*lled him he-man.

You k*lled him. This is your fault. You did it.

We have to go after him.

He needs to be alone for ahwile orko. We better go back to the

Palace and report. You go. He-man needs me.



It was an accident he-man an accident.

You can't blame yourself. The thing wasn't safe it fell apart.

That doesn't matter orko. The point is I acted without thinking.

And a man d*ed. But...but he-man.

Orko when I first became

He-man I swore to uphold that which was right and to protect the innocent.

Accident or not today I broke

That promise. But...i'll be fine orko.

Now run along. There is something I have to do. I hope he'll

Be okay. Oh my gosh I better hurry back or man-at-arms will take off without me.

Everyone's gone tataran.

You can get up now. He-man was completely fooled.

I'll say. He really believes I'm dead.

Yes. I doubt if he-man will give us anymore trouble.

Now we can rebuild that gate and this time for real.

A trick! It was all a trick.

What? A spy. I'll take care of him.



Hey let me out

You evil creep. ≪evil laughter>

♪He-man



Today I broke a promise.

And I proved myself unworthy of the great power that was given me.

And if I am unworthy I can no

Longer permit myself to be he-man. Let the

Power...return.







≪thunder>

I brought the wind raider, adam, let's go home.



≪thunder>



Better make yourself comfortable you

Worthless wizard. Because you're going to be here for a very long

Time. ≪evil laugh> go on

Now door close with me inside, open now and open wide.

Foolish orko.

This prison has been magic proof. None of

Your pitiful little spells will work on it. Now if you will excuse

Me, the general and I have plans to make for the

Conquest of eternia. ≪evil laugh>

♪He-man what is it now duncan?

Skeletor again? I am afraid so your majesty.

This time however he's not bothering to hide behind a force field.

He has rebuilt the dimensional gate that he-man

Had the accident with your majesty. The gate is a

Very large one. Big enough to bring an army through. You

Mean the goblins? I am afraid so your majesty. If that

Gate is completed, eternia is doomed.

We must destroy that gate. That won't be easy, sir. Skeletor

Has it heavily guarded. Then we must call once again upon eternias

Champion the mighty he-man. Oh no.

Uh no I'm afraid that he-man is

No longer available your majesty. I see. I am sorry

To hear that. I gather

He's still upset over the accident you told me about. However there is no

Time for questions. We must act and act quickly. Duncan if the full strength

Of a royal guard went to att*ck that gate? Skeletor has placed

A large number of ray cannons around the dimensional gate. The

Guard can't get close enough without risking many, many lives.

Then what choice do we have? There is one slim chance your majesty.

A single soldier might be able to sneak passed

Skeletor's guard on foot. The soldier would be carrying this.

A mesatronic b*mb? Exactly. If the soldier could

Get close enough, thi b*mb would disintegrate the entire

Dimensional gate. There is no time lose. I am

Going. Godbye your majesty. Adam.

But...no teela no. Goodbye father.

I love you.



Duncan,

What are her chances? Not good adam. Not good at all.

But she's the only hope we have...now.

♪He-man

Gate of hard and solid stone, please open up let me go home.

What? I guess

Skeletor was right. I can't use my magic on this cell. I have

To tell he-man that skeletor tricked him. Wait a minute. Maybe

I can't use my magic on this place. But I can still use it on me.

Myself!

I knew I would think of something. ♪He-man

Teela's gone off on a dangerous mission and only he-man

Could save her now but...no I can never become he-man again.

I misused the power and a man d*ed. No never again.

Adam? Adam? Orko?

Of course it's me. Oh sorry.

Adam, what are you doing? You have to become he-man.

Skeletor's...i've given up being he-man, orko. After what happened

In the village...it was a trick. A dirty rotten trick. The villager and his

Brother were tataran and skeleotr in disguise. What? Orko

Are you sure? Yes I am adam. You...uh he-man didn't

Hurt anyone. It was all a trick. Oh no!

This is terrible. Terrible? I thought

You would be happy to hear this. I am but you don't understand because he-man

Wasn't around teela just went off on a dangerous mission. Well

Let's go get her. Get the old magic sword and...that's the problem

Orko. I don't have the sword. I threw it into the bottomless abiss.

What? Of all the foolish...sorry I mean.

What are you going to do now? There is only one thing I can do.

What's that? Get it back.



Ah the winds,

They're tremendous.

I can't control...

♪He-man





A goblin ship? The gate must be working. That makes

Sense. That's where all these goblins came from. Skeletor

Must be up there right next to the gate. Maybe I can

Get these goblins to take me there. At least

I hope so because..here goes nothing.



Hey, who is that? Looks like a spy.

What shall we do with her? Take her up

To skeletor. That's right boys take me to skeletor

And the gate.

I don't know if this abiss is really bottomless but it sure does go down

A long, long way.







I'm stuck.

I can't get away. There it is. There's my sword!

If I can just reach it in time.

≪growling>

Got it!

By the power of grayskull.

♪He-man

♪He-man

♪He-man there that should hold you

Long enough for me to get out of here. Now for skeletor

And his dimensional gate and teela.



♪He-man well, well, well what

Have we here? A spy mighty skeletor. We

Found her sneaking around camp so brought her to you. Excellent you may release

Her. Well captain teela this is a surprise.

Have you come to surrender to the forces of skeletor? No

Skeletor. I came to bring you...this.

A mesatronic b*mb! That's right.

And you have five minutes to get you and your evil cohorts

Out of here before I push the button.

You wouldn't dare. And no magic, evil face or

I press the button now. She, she means it

Come on men. Let's get out of here. No you cowards.

Come back here. You have four minutes left skeletor.

I don't need four minutes to defeat

You. No.

And now my dear

Captain, once and for all....

He-man? Well looks like I got

Here just in time. I'd thought my little trick would have

Made you go away permanently. But no matter I'll take

Care of you now. What's that? The mesatronic

b*mb. Your ray must have damaged the timer.

It's going to go off. It should be

Quite a blast. I'll leave you two to enjoy the fireworks.

≪evil laugh> what are we going to do?

Only one thing we can do. Run for it.



≪b*mb expl*si*n>







No sign of the goblins. With the gate gone they must have returned to their own dimension.

Right teela? Teela?

Teela?

Oh no teela.

Teela? Oh! I must have bumped my

Head. Teela you're alright? Why

He-man, I didn't know you cared. I was

Worried. I'm fine. Let's go home.

He-man? Yes teela?

You can put me down now. If you don't feel up to walking I could carry you back?

It's no trouble ya know. He-man I'm fine.

Trust me. I trust you but to be one the safe side maybe

I should carry you part of the way. What good will carrying me part of

The way do? I don't know I just thought...

I want to talk to you today about safety. Accidents don't just happen

To other people they can happen to you. But you can do some things to help prevent

Accidents from happening. Using the safety belt when riding in a car can

Save your life or prevent you from being seriously hurt. Now I know you've been told never

To play with matches because if you do, you're playing with fire. And fire can

Burn your toys, your home, your family, you. So use your common sense

And think about what you're doing. It's better to be safe than sorry.
