1. Your vicious horde
has reduced my world to rubble
Copy !req
2. and holds
my peaceful people hostage!
Copy !req
3. I believe violence is
always a last resort,
Copy !req
4. but it is the only language
you seem to understand.
Copy !req
5. So for the fate of my people,
Copy !req
6. I stand before you
and challenge you to fight me,
Copy !req
7. Hordak!
Copy !req
8. For uncountable eons,
Copy !req
9. I have spread across
the galaxies like a virus,
Copy !req
10. conquering 10,000 worlds
to hone my Horde.
Copy !req
11. And on every planet,
Copy !req
12. there has always been a hero...
Copy !req
13. The one. The champion.
Copy !req
14. Each has inevitably come
to this same moment,
Copy !req
15. stalwart in the belief
Copy !req
16. you are all that stands between
the freedom of your people
Copy !req
17. or the systematic subjugation
under the Horde Empire.
Copy !req
18. Each of you is so sure you're
not only going to fight me,
Copy !req
19. but that you might even triumph
as well.
Copy !req
20. And ultimately,
each of you always discovers
Copy !req
21. I never do my own fighting.
Copy !req
22. I hire well.
Copy !req
23. Mistress Motherboard, report.
Copy !req
24. The Keldor deception
has advanced
Copy !req
25. to stage three, my lord.
Copy !req
26. In his Gar disguise,
Copy !req
27. Skeletor has been crowned
King of Eternos.
Copy !req
28. So the Champion is unwittingly
under our control.
Copy !req
29. And as goes the Champion,
so goes Grayskull.
Copy !req
30. Oh, you should've seen us
in action!
Copy !req
31. I played the part of Keldor,
Copy !req
32. Motherboard played me,
Copy !req
33. and we played all of Eternia
for suckers.
Copy !req
34. Especially Little Lord
Look-At-My-Abs-Adam,
Copy !req
35. my newfound "nephew."
Copy !req
36. Ha!
Copy !req
37. All because
those royal boobs fell
Copy !req
38. for our fabricated
family history, hmm?
Copy !req
39. Arrogant as ever, Acolyte.
Copy !req
40. But your weaponized words
were woven
Copy !req
41. from the tapestry of truth.
Copy !req
42. How else do you think
you've got this far?
Copy !req
43. Truth? You mean
Keldor was a real person?
Copy !req
44. Keldor's banishment
was the royals'
Copy !req
45. deepest, darkest family secret.
Copy !req
46. And there's no
worst wound inflicted
Copy !req
47. than the damage family can do,
Copy !req
48. often more horrible
than the horrors
Copy !req
49. hurled by Hordak himself.
Copy !req
50. And I've been the herald of more
horrors than a hundred hells.
Copy !req
51. Now leave me.
Copy !req
52. Insolent servant!
Copy !req
53. Babbling like a barmaid
Copy !req
54. before the overlord
of the holy Horde Empire!
Copy !req
55. I'm—
Copy !req
56. Uh, so sorry.
Copy !req
57. I was just surprised to learn
the Keldor fiction wasn't fake.
Copy !req
58. Forgive me, my merciful Mother.
Copy !req
59. I lost my head.
Copy !req
60. If you embarrass me
ever again, "acolyte,"
Copy !req
61. I'll take your head.
Copy !req
62. Ugh.
Copy !req
63. When will I finally be realized
Copy !req
64. for my superior intellect?
Copy !req
65. Hmm?
Copy !req
66. Who dares to laugh
at the Lord of Destruction?
Copy !req
67. I'm laughing
at the "superior intellect."
Copy !req
68. Well, I'll be damned.
Copy !req
69. All it took was hearing
one little voice in your head
Copy !req
70. to finally shut you up.
Copy !req
71. Huh. Must be
some kind of crossed wire.
Copy !req
72. You think
I'm busting your bones?
Copy !req
73. I'm really you!
You're really me!
Copy !req
74. Skeletor is really Keldor.
Copy !req
75. Get out of my head!
Copy !req
76. A fissure has been fixed.
Copy !req
77. When that metal maiden
put the squeeze on our brain,
Copy !req
78. something snapped.
Copy !req
79. Motherboard unknowingly
unlocked an area of our mind
Copy !req
80. where a dark truth has been
long hidden from us.
Copy !req
81. Behold.
Copy !req
82. I am actually you?
Copy !req
83. You're no
interdimensional demon.
Copy !req
84. You really are Keldor,
son of Miro, his first-born,
Copy !req
85. denied the throne of Eternia.
Copy !req
86. Hordak bamboozled you into
believing a lie is the truth
Copy !req
87. and the truth is a lie,
Copy !req
88. as he used Skeletor
to empower himself.
Copy !req
89. But we were never meant
to serve.
Copy !req
90. We are meant
to master the universe.
Copy !req
91. You're not worthy
to wield the Staff of Ka.
Copy !req
92. You were nothing more
than a bait-and-switch.
Copy !req
93. Are you trying to kill me
with your snake magic?
Copy !req
94. Heinous, vicious witch!
Copy !req
95. In the vain hope that perhaps
nothing will stand
Copy !req
96. between you
and your lumbering love?
Copy !req
97. That's it.
Copy !req
98. Admit it, you've always thought
of me as a threat
Copy !req
99. because of the way
He-Man looks at me.
Copy !req
100. Why would he ever
possibly want you?
Copy !req
101. I'm the forbidden fruit
that lifts his loincloth.
Copy !req
102. Malicious enchantress!
Copy !req
103. You have faced the great dragon,
Copy !req
104. and yet you can't face
how you really feel
Copy !req
105. about the most powerful man
in the universe.
Copy !req
106. Yes! Excellent.
Copy !req
107. Now bring it back. That's it.
Copy !req
108. You control your passions.
They don't control you.
Copy !req
109. What a rush.
Copy !req
110. I have never felt
anything like that.
Copy !req
111. It's euphoric!
Copy !req
112. That's because you've only ever
harnessed the power of Zoar.
Copy !req
113. Ka was the god
of carnal desires,
Copy !req
114. the sensual experiences
of existence itself.
Copy !req
115. So we have
to provoke your passion
Copy !req
116. until you harness
the Staff of Ka.
Copy !req
117. Are we sure you dropped
the "evil" part of your name?
Copy !req
118. Because those things you were
saying about me and He-Man...
Copy !req
119. They aren't true.
Copy !req
120. Do you think I'd be able
to get all of that out of you
Copy !req
121. if I wasn't tapping directly
into your very real,
Copy !req
122. very human emotions?
Copy !req
123. Adam and I are just friends.
Copy !req
124. And if you had any friends,
Copy !req
125. you'd know there's no distance
you won't go for them.
Copy !req
126. I followed Skeletor
great distances,
Copy !req
127. but never out of friendship.
Copy !req
128. I know love when I see it.
Copy !req
129. Lyn, the King—
Copy !req
130. The King what?
Copy !req
131. Needs a Preternia
for his soul to go to?
Copy !req
132. You are hell-bent
to rebuild heaven,
Copy !req
133. but do you know what really
would've been heaven for Randor?
Copy !req
134. Seeing his only son
in your arms.
Copy !req
135. Your pride denied the King
that parental pleasure in life.
Copy !req
136. Will you rob him of it
in death as well?
Copy !req
137. Look at that Eternian ingenuity.
Copy !req
138. When I was amongst the Gar,
Copy !req
139. I spoke so highly
of the technology here
Copy !req
140. and the elders always scoffed
and heckled me with, "Eternos?
Copy !req
141. They still believe
in magic there!"
Copy !req
142. But they'd love
this metal marvel.
Copy !req
143. Our Andra makes impressive tech.
Copy !req
144. My people may be biased
about magic,
Copy !req
145. but we know how powerful
a little magic can be.
Copy !req
146. Don't we, nephew?
Copy !req
147. Wait a minute. The sword.
Copy !req
148. That's what's missing.
Copy !req
149. He-Man's normally never seen
without it.
Copy !req
150. I sent the sword out
for repairs.
Copy !req
151. Again?
I hear you broke it before.
Copy !req
152. Ah, no matter.
Copy !req
153. I can wait until it returns
to ask for your service.
Copy !req
154. Come on, Uncle Kel.
I can serve without the sword.
Copy !req
155. What would you have me do,
my king?
Copy !req
156. We can either fight off
the next attack by SkeleTek
Copy !req
157. and his new master, Motherboard,
Copy !req
158. or you can take the fight
to them, He-Man!
Copy !req
159. Huh.
This door's not very big, is it?
Copy !req
160. The locksmith is small
in stature,
Copy !req
161. but he's tall on talent.
Copy !req
162. Kind of like you.
Copy !req
163. Come to think of it,
you two are quite a bit alike.
Copy !req
164. Oh, boy. Look at these two.
Copy !req
165. If you're here to tell me
the good news about Zoar,
Copy !req
166. I'm an atheist.
Copy !req
167. Open up, old friend.
It's Duncan.
Copy !req
168. I was Man-At-Arms back when
we traveled across the universe.
Copy !req
169. Man-At-Arms?
Copy !req
170. Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no!
Copy !req
171. If you're here,
that means there's trouble!
Copy !req
172. Trouble means Skeletor.
Copy !req
173. Skeletor means
another adventure!
Copy !req
174. And how many times
do I have to say it?
Copy !req
175. I don't like adventures.
Copy !req
176. Well, uh,
if that guy can't help us
Copy !req
177. enhance the Sword of Power,
Copy !req
178. maybe there's
a magical solution.
Copy !req
179. Magic?
Copy !req
180. Magic is only used by people
Copy !req
181. who are short
on technical ability.
Copy !req
182. And I mean really short.
Copy !req
183. Are you saying
that I am short?
Copy !req
184. Who do you think you are?
Copy !req
185. Ha! I am Gwildor of Thenur,
locksmith and inventor.
Copy !req
186. Which is why we've come
for your help, Gwildor.
Copy !req
187. We need the man
who built the Cosmic Key
Copy !req
188. to invent something
that can augment this.
Copy !req
189. Get in, get in, get in!
Copy !req
190. Ready for a return to the days
of high adventure, old friend?
Copy !req
191. I sure am!
Copy !req
192. He-Man, Battle Cat,
and Man-At-Arms,
Copy !req
193. off to another adventure together.
Copy !req
194. Where we goin', guys?
Copy !req
195. We're headed to Snake Mountain.
Copy !req
196. But I ask that you stay here,
Andra, at the palace.
Copy !req
197. We need a backup plan,
and all of Eternia knows
Copy !req
198. you're the biggest brain
we've got.
Copy !req
199. Well, if you're going
to Snake Mountain, take this.
Copy !req
200. It's no Power Sword, but...
Copy !req
201. Activate it
when the battle begins.
Copy !req
202. Let's go, Battle Cat!
Copy !req
203. "Stay here, Andra,
at the palace.
Copy !req
204. We need a backup plan."
Copy !req
205. I don't want to do
the backup plan.
Copy !req
206. I want to do
the plan-plan, He-Man!
Copy !req
207. Drop something?
Your Majesty!
Copy !req
208. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
209. I was—I mean, I just—
Copy !req
210. Just what, exactly?
Copy !req
211. Expressing your disappointment
Copy !req
212. at being pushed aside,
Mistress Man-At-Arms?
Copy !req
213. Well, as your new king,
do you know
Copy !req
214. what I have to say about that?
Copy !req
215. Been there.
Copy !req
216. Putting all our hope
Copy !req
217. in some random troll
in the middle of nowhere
Copy !req
218. to do who-knows-what
with the Sword of Power is,
Copy !req
219. at best, a long shot.
Copy !req
220. And once again,
it forces us to rely on magic
Copy !req
221. and the "Power of Grayskull."
Copy !req
222. I think we need
a more practical solution.
Copy !req
223. Don't you?
Copy !req
224. And I have an idea, but...
Copy !req
225. I'll need the help of my
Man-At-Arms to accomplish it.
Copy !req
226. Me? I mean, me!
Copy !req
227. I can do it!
I am at your command, sire.
Copy !req
228. When SkeleTek attacked,
Copy !req
229. we saw what their techno virus
was capable of.
Copy !req
230. Motherboard's nanobots
must've enhanced them
Copy !req
231. and infected
Eternians' biometrics.
Copy !req
232. That's what gave them
Copy !req
233. their unnatural strength
and durability.
Copy !req
234. What if we tried to do the same
for our people?
Copy !req
235. Think of it, Andra.
Copy !req
236. Not only could we inoculate
our people against the virus,
Copy !req
237. we could imbue every man, woman,
and child across Eternos
Copy !req
238. with the strength
to defend themselves.
Copy !req
239. They wouldn't need a champion
to defend them.
Copy !req
240. We can give the power
to the people.
Copy !req
241. The samples we've collected
should allow us
Copy !req
242. to reverse engineer
the technology,
Copy !req
243. but I can't do it alone.
Copy !req
244. You can count on me, sir!
Copy !req
245. I knew I could.
Copy !req
246. You want me to tamper
with the actual, one and only,
Copy !req
247. "by the Power of Grayskull"
Power Sword?
Copy !req
248. That is a tall order.
Copy !req
249. Probably why he didn't ask you
to do it, half-pint.
Copy !req
250. Will you tell
this Thenurian wurbat
Copy !req
251. that I am exactly as tall
as he is?
Copy !req
252. And I can float!
Copy !req
253. Save it, shorty.
Copy !req
254. May I?
Copy !req
255. As a locksmith and inventor,
I deal in spindles, not spells.
Copy !req
256. And you want me
to manipulate magic
Copy !req
257. with science and technology?
Copy !req
258. If anyone can calibrate
the Sword of Power
Copy !req
259. to counteract and cure this
Motherboard virus, it's you.
Copy !req
260. Or me, Orko the Great,
all-powerful wizard.
Copy !req
261. Wizards!
Copy !req
262. Tone-deaf torktums.
Copy !req
263. Always playing notes
they never understand.
Copy !req
264. Any advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic,
Copy !req
265. but that doesn't mean
it is magic.
Copy !req
266. The universe is
a delicately balanced symphony.
Copy !req
267. Each chord hums
at its own perfect frequency.
Copy !req
268. What you're asking me to do
is synthesize magic
Copy !req
269. and then pass it
through a modulating filter.
Copy !req
270. One errant sound,
Copy !req
271. and the repercussions
could be catastrophic!
Copy !req
272. Please, Gwildor.
We know what we're asking.
Copy !req
273. But we wouldn't be here
if we thought
Copy !req
274. we had more options.
Copy !req
275. He-Man trusts you. I trust you.
Copy !req
276. I don't.
Copy !req
277. Help us. Please.
Copy !req
278. This may be the most
elegant tool ever invented.
Copy !req
279. But I will do my very best
to make it, uh...
Copy !req
280. elegant-er.
Copy !req
281. That's not even a word.
Copy !req
282. Science and sorcery
have always lived in harmony
Copy !req
283. in Eternia...
Copy !req
284. an alloy made stronger
by the mix of its metals.
Copy !req
285. If one path is closed
to the average Eternian,
Copy !req
286. why shouldn't you walk
the other?
Copy !req
287. This magnet will provide
the bracelet
Copy !req
288. with impulses from your brain
Copy !req
289. so that you can utilize
the enhanced biometrics
Copy !req
290. and become a stronger,
better you.
Copy !req
291. Hey, numbskull!
Copy !req
292. Where's your crown, my liege?
Copy !req
293. I don't need
a pointy hat to lead,
Copy !req
294. so I left it on my chair
at home.
Copy !req
295. So much data.
Copy !req
296. For centuries,
Copy !req
297. Eternians built
a glistening society
Copy !req
298. of advanced technology...
Copy !req
299. Until they weren't satisfied
with the might of their machines
Copy !req
300. and sought, instead,
Copy !req
301. the power of worthless magic!
Copy !req
302. He-Man!
Teela!
Copy !req
303. It was a setup.
They're going after Grayskull.
Copy !req
304. Hear me,
wherever you are.
Copy !req
305. Grayskull—
Teela? Teela!
Copy !req
306. Something's interfering with
my telepathic link to He-Man.
Copy !req
307. We've got bigger problems.
Copy !req
308. Everyone stay calm! Don't panic!
Everything's gonna be just fine!
Copy !req
309. What?
Copy !req
310. No.
Copy !req
311. Hey, wait! Don't follow him!
Copy !req
312. And so began the great wars,
Copy !req
313. plummeting Eternia
into a never-ending conflict
Copy !req
314. betwixt magic and technology,
Copy !req
315. science and sorcery.
Copy !req
316. But with today's triumph,
I've proven once and for all
Copy !req
317. technology is
the master of the universe!
Copy !req
318. Adam, are you all right?
The power—
Copy !req
319. Is okay,
but something's blocking it.
Copy !req
320. Learn to work together somehow.
Copy !req
321. The fate of Eternia
depends on it.
Copy !req
322. It is
as you strategized, my lord.
Copy !req
323. Grayskull is now yours
to control.
Copy !req
324. As are the people of Eternia.
Copy !req
325. You've proven your mettle.
Copy !req
326. At your service.
Copy !req
327. I wasn't talking to you.
Copy !req
328. You've proven your mettle,
Mistress Motherboard.
Copy !req
329. After years of failed attempts
with miserable magic to blame,
Copy !req
330. it was technology that finally
triumphed to win me this world.
Copy !req
331. Keldor!
Copy !req
332. How could you?
Copy !req
333. He was your brother!
Copy !req
334. You sold out your family for—
Copy !req
335. Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Copy !req
