1. An ode to Prince Adam,
Copy !req
2. the boy who would be king,
Copy !req
3. whose fabulous secret powers
Copy !req
4. aren't terribly useful things.
Copy !req
5. He chose sword
over royal scepter,
Copy !req
6. but how could he
have ever known
Copy !req
7. that he'd descend
into the palace dungeon
Copy !req
8. while I ascended to his throne?
Copy !req
9. You played me.
Copy !req
10. And I won both the crown
and Grayskull
Copy !req
11. thanks to you, nephew.
Copy !req
12. So it's true.
Copy !req
13. You really are Keldor.
Copy !req
14. In the flesh.
Copy !req
15. Did my father know?
Copy !req
16. Ha! I didn't even know.
Copy !req
17. Hordak has a habit
of manipulating memories.
Copy !req
18. Anything that might challenge
a servant's blind loyalty
Copy !req
19. is erased as insurance.
Copy !req
20. When I joined him,
Copy !req
21. he took Keldor from me
Copy !req
22. and forced fiction
into my mind.
Copy !req
23. But when she rewired me,
Copy !req
24. Motherboard unwittingly
opened the door
Copy !req
25. to the memory
of my true origins.
Copy !req
26. I was a king denied.
Copy !req
27. Yeah.
Copy !req
28. Real kings never bend
the knee to invaders.
Copy !req
29. Your brother knew that.
Copy !req
30. 'Tis a pity
his son wasn't as wise.
Copy !req
31. And what my brother,
your father,
Copy !req
32. did or didn't really know
Copy !req
33. doesn't matter anymore, kid.
Copy !req
34. Because your dad's dead!
Copy !req
35. And as a satisfying sidebar,
Copy !req
36. with no more Preternia in which
to receive his royal reward,
Copy !req
37. his soul will soon be lost
to time and space.
Copy !req
38. But you should remember,
my pathetic princeling,
Copy !req
39. that you have
so much more to lose.
Copy !req
40. Mom!
Copy !req
41. I've taken your crown,
your castle.
Copy !req
42. But that's just the beginning.
Copy !req
43. Next will be your family,
your friends,
Copy !req
44. and even that new sorceress
you're so sweet on.
Copy !req
45. Soon you'll understand
what it means
Copy !req
46. to lose everything,
just like I did.
Copy !req
47. And once you finally reach
the depths of your despair,
Copy !req
48. that's when I'll finish you
once and for all.
Copy !req
49. A shame that Motherboard's
makeover of Grayskull
Copy !req
50. has blocked you from the Power,
Copy !req
51. because I'd kill to see
Copy !req
52. the look on the other guy's
face right now.
Copy !req
53. It's hard to pin down,
Copy !req
54. but I can sense Adam
in the palace.
Copy !req
55. They must be keeping him
in the dungeon.
Copy !req
56. You're supposed to be
looking for Skeletor.
Copy !req
57. We need to find him
and retrieve the Havoc Staff.
Copy !req
58. Look at what Hordak's done
to the city!
Copy !req
59. Preternia will have to wait
Copy !req
60. because Eternia needs
her sorceress now.
Copy !req
61. Hordak's been planning
this invasion for a long time,
Copy !req
62. but his fear
of the Power of Grayskull
Copy !req
63. has historically held him back.
Copy !req
64. And with Eternia finally
under his control,
Copy !req
65. he's not going to let it go
without a fight.
Copy !req
66. But if you can acquire
the Havoc Staff
Copy !req
67. and use the power of all
the ancient gods combined...
Copy !req
68. Then we can use that power
Copy !req
69. to save Adam
and send Hordak packing.
Copy !req
70. Teela! What the hell
happened to you?
Copy !req
71. What the hell happened
to your uniform, Man-At-Arms?
Copy !req
72. Man-Of-War, actually.
Copy !req
73. Dad!
Copy !req
74. It's quite the upgrade.
Copy !req
75. Perhaps,
though it's an ugly upgrade
Copy !req
76. that will win us this war.
Copy !req
77. And just what is that
supposed to mean?
Copy !req
78. Yeah, Dad, where have you been?
Copy !req
79. Playing matchmaker.
Copy !req
80. Ah!
Copy !req
81. Does it work yet?
Copy !req
82. Do you work yet?
Copy !req
83. The Horde Fleet's filling
the skies above Eternia.
Copy !req
84. Why would Duncan just
leave us here alone like that?
Copy !req
85. To find He-Man.
Copy !req
86. What's the point of
modifying the Sword of Power
Copy !req
87. if there's no one around
to wield it?
Copy !req
88. Well, how much longer
Copy !req
89. are these "modifications"
going to take?
Copy !req
90. Ah!
Copy !req
91. Longer than we've got.
Copy !req
92. Mom. Mom.
Copy !req
93. Mom. Mom, wake up.
Copy !req
94. Adam?
Copy !req
95. Oh, thank goodness.
Copy !req
96. Mom, are you hurt?
Copy !req
97. I'm fine.
Copy !req
98. Just happy
they didn't inject me
Copy !req
99. with their tekno-virus.
Copy !req
100. Keldor wants us unharmed—
Copy !req
101. for now.
Copy !req
102. Meanwhile, Grayskull's fallen.
The power is shielded from me.
Copy !req
103. And maybe if I had the Sword,
Copy !req
104. it could break through
the interference
Copy !req
105. the virus is creating,
Copy !req
106. and I could call
the Power back.
Copy !req
107. But I let the Sword go.
Copy !req
108. So there's no He-Man waiting
in the wings to save the day,
Copy !req
109. and it's—
Copy !req
110. It's all my fault.
Copy !req
111. Adam,
Copy !req
112. you are He-Man.
Copy !req
113. And the sum total of your power
Copy !req
114. doesn't come from some
lightning bolt over Grayskull.
Copy !req
115. Love and the willingness
to fight for what matters—
Copy !req
116. those are powers, too.
Copy !req
117. Even simple courage is power.
Copy !req
118. And you have more courage than
anyone I've ever known, Adam.
Copy !req
119. Huh?
Copy !req
120. How did I get here?
Copy !req
121. I had to step in
and give you a hand.
Copy !req
122. Look at her.
Copy !req
123. Pathetic.
Copy !req
124. So wrapped up in scanning
the secrets of this castle,
Copy !req
125. she doesn't even know
we're here.
Copy !req
126. Not so long ago, it was you
who commanded this throne room,
Copy !req
127. instead of Hordak's
metal mommy.
Copy !req
128. I don't need Grayskull.
Copy !req
129. I know where my talents lie—
Copy !req
130. on the throne of Eternos.
Copy !req
131. Hordak has restored
my birthright.
Copy !req
132. Oh, has he?
Copy !req
133. So then why is it his banner
flying over the palace?
Copy !req
134. You're nothing more than
his little errand boy.
Copy !req
135. He put you in a box,
and you don't even realize it.
Copy !req
136. Huh?
Copy !req
137. She's all that stands
between you and Hordak.
Copy !req
138. So pull her plug.
Copy !req
139. I'd forgotten the stink
of this place.
Copy !req
140. It's absolutely wretched.
Copy !req
141. Perhaps this small token
of my esteem
Copy !req
142. will take your mind off it,
my eminence.
Copy !req
143. Whatever gift you have to offer
will only pale in comparison
Copy !req
144. to the bountiful banquet
of complete conquest
Copy !req
145. finally won for me
by Motherboard.
Copy !req
146. Huh.
Copy !req
147. I've given you
the technological power,
Copy !req
148. yet you remain
quite literally attached
Copy !req
149. to that arcane talisman.
Copy !req
150. The Havoc Staff, once held,
is not so easily discarded.
Copy !req
151. That's why you cursed Keldor
with it all those years ago.
Copy !req
152. But even though
you took the truth from me,
Copy !req
153. I should thank you.
Copy !req
154. Because I could have
wasted my life away
Copy !req
155. as Keldor, king of nothing,
Copy !req
156. on an island
in the middle of nowhere.
Copy !req
157. But you, Hordak,
you raised me out of all that.
Copy !req
158. You gave me purpose.
Copy !req
159. You gave me something
to fight for.
Copy !req
160. But now,
you've given me someone...
Copy !req
161. to fight against.
Copy !req
162. Fight me?
Copy !req
163. Acolyte, you work for me.
Copy !req
164. So did she.
Copy !req
165. I've been getting in touch
with my inner self lately.
Copy !req
166. Turns out he's got a lot
of interesting plans.
Copy !req
167. Time for a revolution, my lord.
Copy !req
168. And Motherboard's isn't
Copy !req
169. the only head
on the chopping block.
Copy !req
170. Heads will roll, Acolyte.
Copy !req
171. And soon, you will learn
Copy !req
172. what all the universe
will come to know—
Copy !req
173. I am Hordak,
conquest incarnate.
Copy !req
174. So let this be
our final battle!
Copy !req
175. What's happening up there?
Copy !req
176. We got to get out of this cell.
Copy !req
177. Ask and you shall receive,
Your Majesty.
Copy !req
178. Andra! How did you find us?
Copy !req
179. A tracker.
Copy !req
180. Sorry to let your mom
get caught,
Copy !req
181. but we knew they'd lead us
straight to you.
Copy !req
182. So grab your coat,
Copy !req
183. because I'm getting you both
out of here.
Copy !req
184. Thank you.
Copy !req
185. You just promise me
Copy !req
186. we're going to cure everybody
of this tekno-virus.
Copy !req
187. I mean it. Every last Eternian.
Copy !req
188. We'll do it together.
Copy !req
189. But since I can't
call down the Power
Copy !req
190. and transform into He-Man,
Copy !req
191. I'm going to need to get into
my father's private armory.
Copy !req
192. I knew we wouldn't be
welcomed back to the city.
Copy !req
193. But I didn't expect to be
fighting neighbors and friends.
Copy !req
194. They're all innocent
and under Hordak's control.
Copy !req
195. So we have to be careful.
Copy !req
196. Or we have to get away.
Copy !req
197. If you can do portals,
then why are we still here?
Copy !req
198. How's that sword coming?
Copy !req
199. I think it's ready.
Copy !req
200. You think?
Copy !req
201. Now we've just got to get it
to He-Man.
Copy !req
202. But how do we get past
these mangy glondarks?
Copy !req
203. You have a sword! So swing it!
Copy !req
204. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
205. Wha—
Copy !req
206. Wha—
Copy !req
207. And so the worm turns.
Copy !req
208. Oh, that worm turned
Copy !req
209. when you made that metal maiden
your right hand instead of me.
Copy !req
210. Motherboard was merely
an extension of my hand,
Copy !req
211. a tool of the Horde,
just like you.
Copy !req
212. You're the only tool here.
Copy !req
213. And now, your fate is
in my hand!
Copy !req
214. That's it.
Copy !req
215. Everything you know,
I taught you, Acolyte,
Copy !req
216. so there's no move you can make
I haven't already anticipated.
Copy !req
217. You left yourself open, Acolyte.
Copy !req
218. I could have easily killed you.
Copy !req
219. Oh, what's the point of this?
Copy !req
220. I'll never win against you.
Copy !req
221. You're too strong for me.
Copy !req
222. Fighting me is how
you get stronger.
Copy !req
223. Before you can accomplish
your goal,
Copy !req
224. you will have to battle foes
at least as capable as I am.
Copy !req
225. But how will this help me
take back my kingdom?
Copy !req
226. I thought I was going
to learn to use magic.
Copy !req
227. You will.
Copy !req
228. But never forget,
magic is a cheat.
Copy !req
229. Of use from time to time, yes,
Copy !req
230. but it will never
make you strong.
Copy !req
231. The might of the Horde
was built with technology.
Copy !req
232. And he who masters technology
Copy !req
233. masters the universe.
Copy !req
234. Look at you.
Copy !req
235. What a disappointment you are.
Copy !req
236. Your Majesty.
Copy !req
237. Is everyone good?
Copy !req
238. I really haven't decided yet.
Copy !req
239. Friends, please!
Copy !req
240. This isn't you!
Copy !req
241. You're being controlled
by Hordak!
Copy !req
242. Lyn, watch out for—
Copy !req
243. Yourself. Of course.
Copy !req
244. Die, you pecksniffian prick!
Copy !req
245. Die and give me my legacy!
Copy !req
246. Ah!
Copy !req
247. The Horde will never
follow you.
Copy !req
248. Not until you fully embrace
your power.
Copy !req
249. Take it!
Copy !req
250. What is it?
Copy !req
251. Ha'vok is an ancient, powerful
magic that has lain dormant,
Copy !req
252. waiting for someone who was
born to wield such power.
Copy !req
253. Waiting for you.
Copy !req
254. Take it
and unlock your destiny.
Copy !req
255. Take it.
Copy !req
256. Take it and be reborn into
the ravenous maw of Ha'vok!
Copy !req
257. I'd have accepted Eternia
with grace and gratitude.
Copy !req
258. The Horde's footprint
would be cemented here
Copy !req
259. in the center of the universe
for all time.
Copy !req
260. Instead,
you betrayed my loyalty
Copy !req
261. and tried to make me
settle for scraps!
Copy !req
262. What a disappointment you are.
Copy !req
263. You're a fool
if you think you can beat me
Copy !req
264. with my own technology.
Copy !req
265. I am as much its master
as I am yours.
Copy !req
266. This is Eternia.
Copy !req
267. Technology is only
half the battle.
Copy !req
268. No!
Copy !req
269. You hate magic because
you don't understand it.
Copy !req
270. That's why you've always
needed an acolyte
Copy !req
271. to wield magic on your behalf.
Copy !req
272. You used to know that,
but you forgot it.
Copy !req
273. And while
the Havoc Staff showed me
Copy !req
274. how to tap into dark magic,
Copy !req
275. it's not the only source
of power in the universe.
Copy !req
276. I should have left you to die
Copy !req
277. on that filthy island, Keldor.
Copy !req
278. My name is...
Copy !req
279. Skeletor!
Copy !req
280. Huh?
Copy !req
281. Hello, darling.
Copy !req
282. Miss me?
Copy !req
283. I don't need that
childish talisman anymore.
Copy !req
284. Teela, are you all right?
Copy !req
285. Adam?
Copy !req
286. Teela!
Copy !req
287. You're green.
Copy !req
288. About that. I-I can explain.
Copy !req
289. I did it for you.
Copy !req
290. Well, for your father.
Copy !req
291. You turned yourself green
for my dad?
Copy !req
292. No, I—
Copy !req
293. I needed to access
the ancient magics
Copy !req
294. in order to bring back Preternia.
Copy !req
295. I thought if I restored
the afterlife,
Copy !req
296. I could give you
some peace of mind
Copy !req
297. knowing King Randor
would get to his great reward.
Copy !req
298. Teela, thank you.
Copy !req
299. But I don't need you
to do that for me.
Copy !req
300. All I need is for you
to be right here,
Copy !req
301. beside—
Copy !req
302. Evil-Lyn?
Copy !req
303. You got the Havoc Staff!
Copy !req
304. We can use it to defeat Hordak.
Copy !req
305. Hordak's dead.
Copy !req
306. Skeletor killed him.
Copy !req
307. Well, that's one problem down.
Copy !req
308. You don't understand.
We're next.
Copy !req
309. He's not Skeletor anymore.
Copy !req
310. He's somehow synthesized
both magic and technology,
Copy !req
311. so he's more powerful
than ever, and more dangerous.
Copy !req
312. Take the Havoc Staff.
Copy !req
313. We're going to need
all your power.
Copy !req
314. Everyone, stand back.
Copy !req
315. Teela!
Copy !req
316. Teela!
Copy !req
317. I can't hold on!
Copy !req
318. Teela!
Copy !req
