1. Careful.
Copy !req
2. If anything's even a micron
out of place, Father will know.
Copy !req
3. We don't want
to make him angry.
Copy !req
4. He's always kind of angry.
Copy !req
5. No, he's just serious.
Copy !req
6. Being king is
a big responsibility.
Copy !req
7. Aha! Found it.
Copy !req
8. Father's secret stash!
Copy !req
9. Of what?
Copy !req
10. Technically, fruit juice.
Copy !req
11. He's coming!
He's coming!
Copy !req
12. Shh!
Copy !req
13. You promised
his mother, Miro,
Copy !req
14. on your name and honor,
Copy !req
15. to send the boy home
when he came of age.
Copy !req
16. He is my blood!
But not your heir.
Copy !req
17. What waits at court
for the bastard son of a king,
Copy !req
18. except the agony
of watching his younger brother
Copy !req
19. wear a crown denied him
by his parentage?
Copy !req
20. It is denied him by law.
Copy !req
21. Then change the law,
Your Majesty.
Copy !req
22. It is more complicated
than that.
Copy !req
23. His people do not trust us.
Copy !req
24. They are forbidden
from leaving their shores
Copy !req
25. and setting foot upon our own.
Copy !req
26. If I send my son there,
I am effectively banishing him.
Copy !req
27. Eternos is banishment for him!
Copy !req
28. In Anwat Gar, he would have
a chance to flourish.
Copy !req
29. Here, he will always be second
to his younger brother
Copy !req
30. until Randor produces an heir
to make him third.
Copy !req
31. Keldor is a part of me, Amelia.
Copy !req
32. And Randor thinks
he hung the moons.
Copy !req
33. Which is kinder, my love?
Copy !req
34. Keeping him close,
Copy !req
35. condemning him to a life
in service of a crown
Copy !req
36. that by divine right
should be his
Copy !req
37. or sending him home
Copy !req
38. a home where
he can build a life
Copy !req
39. out from behind
the shadows of kings?
Copy !req
40. He knew she was right,
of course.
Copy !req
41. I was gone within a week.
Copy !req
42. After I was returned to
Anwat Gar, the Horde attacked.
Copy !req
43. I was wounded.
Copy !req
44. Rumor spread
that I had perished.
Copy !req
45. But I lived.
Copy !req
46. And I chose to let
the rumor live as well.
Copy !req
47. I thought my death
would make things easier
Copy !req
48. for your grandfather
and for Randor.
Copy !req
49. So he blamed himself
for what happened?
Copy !req
50. Yes. Well, Randor
always took responsibility
Copy !req
51. for everything.
Copy !req
52. So I guess he was born a king.
Copy !req
53. But was he?
Copy !req
54. You need to know, Adam,
Copy !req
55. back then, I wouldn't have
accepted the crown.
Copy !req
56. Why not?
Copy !req
57. You're the firstborn son
of King Miro.
Copy !req
58. It was your right.
Copy !req
59. But not my duty
and certainly not my desire.
Copy !req
60. Miro's blood may flow
within me,
Copy !req
61. but it's Saryn's,
my mother's blood, Gar blood
Copy !req
62. that made me
the man I am today—
Copy !req
63. more accustomed to feats
of engineering and mathematics
Copy !req
64. than diplomacy and politics.
Copy !req
65. Not to mention the feats
you perform, Adam.
Copy !req
66. Or is it He-Man?
Copy !req
67. I'm no politician either.
Copy !req
68. Just a warrior.
Copy !req
69. Yet, soon to be king—
Copy !req
70. a sizable burden
for just one man,
Copy !req
71. even a man of your strength.
Copy !req
72. My father believed
that no one man
Copy !req
73. should carry both
sword and scepter.
Copy !req
74. He felt that
having that separation
Copy !req
75. between king and champion
Copy !req
76. was the will
of the power itself.
Copy !req
77. And what do you feel?
Copy !req
78. Confused.
Copy !req
79. Why would the power
reveal itself to me
Copy !req
80. if I was only ever destined
to give it up?
Copy !req
81. Destiny can be
quite confounding
Copy !req
82. when it's met out of time.
Copy !req
83. If I've learned anything,
it's that.
Copy !req
84. I do not desire
for the throne, Adam.
Copy !req
85. And I think neither do you.
Copy !req
86. Still...
Copy !req
87. Eternia needs a king.
Copy !req
88. And a champion.
Copy !req
89. Mom!
I'm okay, Adam.
Copy !req
90. He-Man—I mean Adam.
Copy !req
91. King Ada—Your Majesty,
we have trouble.
Copy !req
92. Duncan, who's attacking us?
Copy !req
93. Skeletor.
Copy !req
94. Oh, dear. I know that look.
Copy !req
95. Everyone, stand back!
Copy !req
96. By the power of Grayskull,
Copy !req
97. I have the power!
Copy !req
98. The Armistice of the Three.
Copy !req
99. Wait.
Copy !req
100. Four?
Copy !req
101. There aren't four towers.
Copy !req
102. There are no towers at all.
Copy !req
103. Not since the cataclysm
Copy !req
104. when Preternia fell.
Copy !req
105. Lord Granamyr,
Copy !req
106. Your High Eminence
and Most Excellent Grace,
Copy !req
107. I am—
Oh, I remember.
Copy !req
108. What did she call you?
Copy !req
109. Ah, yes, "Little Bird."
Copy !req
110. Taking up your mother's charge,
it seems,
Copy !req
111. has mellowed
your late impertinence.
Copy !req
112. Listen...
Copy !req
113. there were days when honeyed
words would win my favor,
Copy !req
114. but now diplomacy
Copy !req
115. is a time-consuming effort.
Copy !req
116. So go on before it's too late.
Copy !req
117. Too late?
Copy !req
118. To say goodbye, my dear.
Copy !req
119. That is why you've come, yes?
Copy !req
120. To bear condolences
from your king
Copy !req
121. over my impending demise.
Copy !req
122. You're dying?
Copy !req
123. I'm sorry.
I-I-I didn't know that you—
Copy !req
124. And I'm afraid
the king is dead.
Copy !req
125. Oh.
Copy !req
126. Well, long live the king.
Copy !req
127. I'm actually on a mission
to help him—
Copy !req
128. well, his spirit, really,
Copy !req
129. and all the noble spirits
that wander, or will wander,
Copy !req
130. untethered since the cataclysm.
Copy !req
131. The legends tell us
that Granamyr the Magnificent
Copy !req
132. once granted humans access
to Ka, snake magic.
Copy !req
133. I mean to resurrect Preternia
Copy !req
134. to restore their great reward,
Copy !req
135. but I can't do it
without the power of Ka.
Copy !req
136. I'm here to ask for help.
Copy !req
137. Well, you won't
get it from him.
Copy !req
138. So you can stop your warbling,
Little Bird.
Copy !req
139. What is that?
Copy !req
140. Maybe we should ask him.
Copy !req
141. Skeletor!
Copy !req
142. I'd say he's more like SkeleTek.
Copy !req
143. SkeleTek? I like it.
Copy !req
144. Did you come up
with that yourself?
Copy !req
145. Keldor?
Copy !req
146. Ooh, heroes come in blue now.
Copy !req
147. Is that all you got?
Copy !req
148. Hardly.
Copy !req
149. How is he doing that?
Copy !req
150. It's those smoke bombs.
Copy !req
151. They're laced with
some sort of nanotechnology.
Copy !req
152. Wait, I don't want to hurt you.
Copy !req
153. Long ago, Eternia
embraced only technology.
Copy !req
154. The ancients constructed
Copy !req
155. massive mechanical marvels
Copy !req
156. to combat the malevolent
forces of magic.
Copy !req
157. For eons, they've laid dormant,
Copy !req
158. buried deep underground
and forgotten.
Copy !req
159. But with a little help
from Motherboard,
Copy !req
160. Eternia's great technological
age can begin anew!
Copy !req
161. Behold!
Copy !req
162. One of the Techno-Titans—
a remnant from an era
Copy !req
163. of Eternia's glorious
technological past!
Copy !req
164. Orko, I need a hand here!
Copy !req
165. He-Man,
how are we supposed to—
Copy !req
166. He-Man?
Copy !req
167. Man-at-Arms! I have a plan.
Copy !req
168. That's far enough.
Copy !req
169. Perhaps,
but I do so enjoy excess.
Copy !req
170. Let him go!
Copy !req
171. Just remember, He-Man.
Copy !req
172. Today was but an opening salvo
Copy !req
173. from almighty Motherboard.
Copy !req
174. Battle Cat, bring it down.
Copy !req
175. Orko, we need
to keep that thing still.
Copy !req
176. Man-At-Arm,
with these modifications
Copy !req
177. from my Gar wristband,
Copy !req
178. we can use your blaster
to upload
Copy !req
179. the Titan's
self-destruction sequence.
Copy !req
180. How do you know all this?
Copy !req
181. The Techno Titans
were developed
Copy !req
182. from ancient Gar technology.
Copy !req
183. You'll want to aim
for the central processor.
Copy !req
184. It should be—
Let me guess.
Copy !req
185. Is it the big red eyeball?
Copy !req
186. That's the one.
Copy !req
187. Yes, it's working!
Copy !req
188. Keep it up.
Copy !req
189. Guys, I don't know
how much longer I can hold him.
Copy !req
190. The sword.
Copy !req
191. Ah!
Copy !req
192. Eighty-three percent.
Copy !req
193. Just a little bit longer, Orko.
Copy !req
194. We're almost there.
Copy !req
195. The upload didn't complete.
Copy !req
196. Look out!
Copy !req
197. Andra,
we have one last shot at this.
Copy !req
198. I'm redirecting the rest
of the self-destruct sequence
Copy !req
199. to your blaster.
Copy !req
200. We just need one clear shot
Copy !req
201. to finish the upload
and bring that thing down.
Copy !req
202. What if I miss?
Copy !req
203. I've seen you in action.
Copy !req
204. You're the Man-at-Arms
of Eternos.
Copy !req
205. If anyone can make that shot,
it's you.
Copy !req
206. Now!
Copy !req
207. Are you all right?
Copy !req
208. Okay, so what part
of "exile on Trolla"
Copy !req
209. did you not understand?
Copy !req
210. The Trollans know I'm here.
Copy !req
211. And why are you here, Lyn?
Copy !req
212. It seems that my tampering
with the cosmic balance
Copy !req
213. produced some
unforeseen consequences.
Copy !req
214. You mean Granamyr's condition—
Copy !req
215. Is because of me, yes.
Copy !req
216. Wait, so you're here
to, what, care for him,
Copy !req
217. like a nurse?
Copy !req
218. Oh, my Zoar, you are.
Copy !req
219. Why?
It's not your concern.
Copy !req
220. Neither is Preternia,
for that matter.
Copy !req
221. As you can see, Lord Granamyr
Copy !req
222. is in no condition
to grant you a kind word,
Copy !req
223. let alone access
to snake magic.
Copy !req
224. You're wasting your time.
Copy !req
225. Humans...
Copy !req
226. desirous, covetous humans.
Copy !req
227. I did grant Ka
to your ancestors,
Copy !req
228. and they promptly used it
to rain down war and death
Copy !req
229. upon this world.
Copy !req
230. I learned long ago
Copy !req
231. that the only reliable
human trait is lust for power.
Copy !req
232. And here you are once more,
Copy !req
233. begging for it.
Copy !req
234. Well, the answer is no...
Copy !req
235. to war, to death, and to you.
Copy !req
236. She's an even bigger
fool than you said.
Copy !req
237. I didn't say "fool."
I said "simpleton."
Copy !req
238. What? It's nicer.
Copy !req
239. Preternia isn't something
I can just forget about.
Copy !req
240. And it's your problem, too.
Especially yours.
Copy !req
241. You know, your being here,
helping Granamyr,
Copy !req
242. looks a lot like penance.
Copy !req
243. I don't know
if you're working an angle
Copy !req
244. or if you're really trying
to be better,
Copy !req
245. but either way, what greater
amends can you make
Copy !req
246. than to help me restore
that which you destroyed?
Copy !req
247. The resurrection of Preternia
wouldn't just mean salvation
Copy !req
248. for the wandering souls
of fallen champions,
Copy !req
249. but redemption for you,
Evil-Lyn.
Copy !req
250. Help me convince him.
Copy !req
251. Unless you really haven't
changed at all.
Copy !req
252. The power
of Grayskull protected me.
Copy !req
253. So I tried sharing
a small portion
Copy !req
254. of the power with the child,
Copy !req
255. like I do with Cringer.
Copy !req
256. And he was cured of this
Motherboard's techno virus.
Copy !req
257. Great.
Then you can just point
Copy !req
258. the sword at everyone
who's been infected.
Copy !req
259. We have dozens of citizens
already infected.
Copy !req
260. And with those bombs,
the virus spreads too quickly.
Copy !req
261. You'd have to use the sword
on all of Eternia at once.
Copy !req
262. Which is unfeasible,
Copy !req
263. but if we can somehow
amplify its reach...
Copy !req
264. If it's possible,
Copy !req
265. there's only one man on Eternia
who could do it.
Copy !req
266. Orko, I'm entrusting
the Sword of Power to you,
Copy !req
267. old friend.
Copy !req
268. Oh!
Copy !req
269. By the power of—
Copy !req
270. Orko, no!
Copy !req
271. Just kidding.
Copy !req
272. Though maybe this isn't
a good time to crack jokes.
Copy !req
273. Um,
I won't let you down, He-Man.
Copy !req
274. You never could.
Copy !req
275. There's still time
to change your mind.
Copy !req
276. No, this is how it has to be.
Copy !req
277. Eternia needs a king.
Eternia needs you.
Copy !req
278. Sword, scepter, pen, and ink—
it's all one.
Copy !req
279. Take it from an old man.
Copy !req
280. It's not about
what you hold in your hand,
Copy !req
281. but what you hold
in your heart.
Copy !req
282. You've been awfully quiet.
Copy !req
283. Why waste my breath?
Copy !req
284. You and I have been
through enough by now
Copy !req
285. to read each other like books.
Copy !req
286. Sometimes I need to hear it.
Copy !req
287. This decision is yours.
Copy !req
288. And I will follow you
and stand beside you
Copy !req
289. in any arena you choose.
Copy !req
290. But since it is also
my future in question,
Copy !req
291. I suppose you should know,
Copy !req
292. though it may surprise you
to hear it,
Copy !req
293. that I have loved
being your Battle Cat.
Copy !req
294. I had some real
ups and downs with my dad.
Copy !req
295. Sons and fathers, right?
Copy !req
296. While it's no secret
Copy !req
297. he wanted me to follow
in his royal footsteps,
Copy !req
298. he also felt one man
should never be
Copy !req
299. both king and champion.
Copy !req
300. So his passing left me
with an impossible choice...
Copy !req
301. that is, until the return
of my uncle Keldor—
Copy !req
302. the true and rightful heir
to Miro's throne.
Copy !req
303. And so, with the repeal
of the outdated, cruel law
Copy !req
304. that denied him the crown,
Copy !req
305. I no longer face
an impossible choice.
Copy !req
306. All of Eternos today witnessed
Keldor's bravery and ingenuity
Copy !req
307. as he risked his life
to save countless Eternians
Copy !req
308. from the forces of evil.
Copy !req
309. He's proven his mettle.
Copy !req
310. He's revealed his heart.
Copy !req
311. And if he'll give us
a second chance...
Copy !req
312. I can think of no better man
to lead our people
Copy !req
313. into the next chapter
of our great history.
Copy !req
314. It is my honor and privilege
to present to you...
Copy !req
315. King Keldor I!
Copy !req
316. King Keldor!
Copy !req
317. For the last time,
the answer is no!
Copy !req
318. Please Lord Granamyr,
Copy !req
319. there is no one else alive
with the power to help me.
Copy !req
320. I promise that—
Your promises are worthless!
Copy !req
321. So is that it, then?
Copy !req
322. Ugh, no.
Copy !req
323. Let me make this
painfully clear.
Copy !req
324. You, Granamyr,
are as good as dead.
Copy !req
325. Save your treacherous breath.
Copy !req
326. I've already made peace
with the fact that my soul
Copy !req
327. shall wander time and space untethered
Copy !req
328. and then fade.
Copy !req
329. Wander and fade?
Copy !req
330. Your soul?
Copy !req
331. The soul of one whose
legendarily disastrous judgment
Copy !req
332. led to the bloodiest wars
this world—
Copy !req
333. perhaps this universe—
has ever seen?
Copy !req
334. You spent centuries
hating humans,
Copy !req
335. blaming them for your mistake.
Copy !req
336. Yes, they abused their power,
Copy !req
337. but it was a power
that you gave them.
Copy !req
338. Did you really think
that you could heal yourself
Copy !req
339. of that responsibility
Copy !req
340. by hiding in a cave
and hoping for the best?
Copy !req
341. I didn't come here
to help ease your passing
Copy !req
342. because I enjoy the smell
of rotting dragon flesh
Copy !req
343. and childish bravado.
Copy !req
344. I came to earn my absolution,
Copy !req
345. lest my foul crimes pave
the way to an eternity
Copy !req
346. of hellish torment
in Subternia.
Copy !req
347. That is what awaits us both.
Copy !req
348. It is arrogance unabated
Copy !req
349. to assume the soul
of Granamyr the Monstrous
Copy !req
350. would not face untold horrors
of a measure equal to mine.
Copy !req
351. But...
Copy !req
352. we have a chance, you and I.
Copy !req
353. If the new sorceress
of Grayskull
Copy !req
354. can, with our help, resurrect
the afterlife dimension,
Copy !req
355. then, perhaps,
it could still hold a place
Copy !req
356. for the likes of you and me.
Copy !req
357. The universe isn't finished
with you yet, either of you.
Copy !req
358. There's still time to do
something good.
Copy !req
359. What's happening? Did it work?
Are you gonna help?
Copy !req
360. First, a riddle.
Copy !req
361. There's always a damn riddle.
Copy !req
362. Mm, an appropriate one,
at that.
Copy !req
363. A paradox that's blind
Copy !req
364. to mage and king in kind.
Copy !req
365. Unlike the snake,
the more you take,
Copy !req
366. the more you leave behind.
Copy !req
367. What is it?
Copy !req
368. Oh, obviously, power.
Copy !req
369. No, not power.
Copy !req
370. The more you take,
the more you leave behind.
Copy !req
371. The answer's footsteps.
Copy !req
372. Ah...
Copy !req
373. perhaps you are ready.
Copy !req
374. The staff's but a conduit.
Copy !req
375. She'll need training
Copy !req
376. in calm and havoc.
Copy !req
377. Leave that to me.
Copy !req
378. It was the perfect gambit.
Copy !req
379. The hapless fools
suspected nothing.
Copy !req
380. And now each piece
is in its place—
Copy !req
381. pawns, knights...
Copy !req
382. Queen...
Copy !req
383. and king.
Copy !req
384. Speak of the devil.
Copy !req
385. Oh, my exalted one.
Copy !req
386. I am certain you mean devil...
Copy !req
387. in disguise.
Copy !req
388. Long live the king.
Copy !req
