ADAM: And the Masters of the Universe.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

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 Gray skull..."

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

"...I have the power!"

(ROARING)

ADAM: Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat

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 Orko.

Together, we defend Castle Grayskull

from the evil forces of Skeletor.

(LAUGHS)

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Well, we should be back at the palace

in time for breakfast, Adam.

Good thing too.

I'm so hungry, my stomach's grumbling.

(RATTLING)

It isn't grumbling that much.

The Wind Raider is losing power.

Are we out of fuel?

No, we've got plenty.

We're just losing power and the engines have stopped!

We're falling.

I'd better handle this as He-Man.

By the power of Gray skull...

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

...I have the power!

He-Man

Brace yourself, Man-At-Arms.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

Man-At-Arms, drop the cable from the Wind Raider.

Here I go.

The Wind Raider feels like it weighs a ton.

(LAUGHING) Then again, it does weigh a ton.

Well, that was quick thinking, He-Man,

using the grappling cable to break our fall.

Are you all right?

Maybe I'm a little out of shape.

It took all my strength to catch the Wind Raider.

With your strength, it should have been easy.

I know. It doesn't make sense.

And neither does the Wind Raider's engine stopping.

What do you suppose caused it?

I'll have to get it back to the palace

and pull it apart to find out.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

He-Man, that tree.

It was perfectly healthy when we left this morning.

HE-MAN: Now, it's completely withered.

It's falling toward the council chamber!

And the room is filled with people.

(STRAINING)

MAN-AT-ARMS: Good work, He-Man.

How's your strength holding up?

I feel weaker than ever.

Well, let's get the Wind Raider into the lab

and see if anything's wrong with it.

I don't think you will find anything wrong with it.

I think there's something very strange going on here.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Whew. That thing's getting heavier and heavier.

Maybe I should become Prince Adam again.

No. No, if something really is wrong,

your powers may be needed.

Hey! Man-At-Arms,

you got a cure for fizzled magic?

I don't think there's any known cure

for your magic, Orko.

No, I'm serious.

I'm weak, and I can't get anything to work. Look.

Magic powers far and near,

make this beaker disappear.

See what I mean?

Took all my strength just to do that.

Phew. And that didn't even do anything.

And it isn't just me.

It seems to be happening to everyone in the palace.

Let's check out the Wind Raider.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Oh.

You find anything wrong?

It's in perfect working order.

The fuel's fine,

yet the engines won't even turn over. And I...

I'm getting weaker.

Oh.

Everybody's growing weaker.

And the trees are withering and the machines won't run.

It just doesn't add up. What's the missing element?

I... I think I've got it.

Why isn't the gas catching fire?

Well, there can only be one answer.

It takes two things to create a fire.

Fuel such as the gas, and oxygen.

Without oxygen, no fuel can burn.

Somehow, the amount of oxygen in the air of Eternia

is being lowered.

I understand that, Man-At-Arms,

but why would that make us weak?

Because human beings use oxygen

to burn the fuel we eat and drink just as machines do.

That's why we must breathe.

But how and why could this be happening?

If you don't know, there's...

There's only one other person in all Eternia who might know:

The Sorceress. I'd better find her before it's too late.

Too bad I couldn't have taken one of the vehicles,

but none of them are working.

(PANTING) I'm almost too weak to run.

All the trees in the Evergreen Forest seem to be withering.

I... I'd better hurry.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

All this exertion is making me weaker with each step.

I've got to make it to Grayskull.

I've got to.

Castle Grayskull.

What the devil? The Jaw-Bridge is...

It's wide open. The Castle is unprotected.

He-Man, I would have sent for you,

but I could not. My powers grow weaker by the minute.

Man-At-Arms says that the oxygen content

of Eternia's air is lowering.

That's what's weakening all of us.

Do you have any idea what might be causing it?

Perhaps.

Did you notice anything strange on your journey here?

Yes, the Evergreen Forest is withering.

Ah. Then I may have the answer.

Deep in the heart of the Mystic Mountains

lies the Sea of Eternity.

It feeds a river which supplies the Vine Jungle

and the Evergreen Forest with water.

These two great forces in turn

supply Eternia's air with oxygen.

Wait a minute, how do plants provide oxygen?

You know that all animals breathe in oxygen

and breathe out carbon dioxide.

Yes. Well,

all plants take in carbon dioxide

and give off oxygen.

That is why plants and animals need each other to survive.

Someone or something

must be cutting off the water supply to the forest

at its source, at the Sea of Eternity.

You, He-Man, must go and set things right.

The whole planet is in terrible danger.

So, that's what she told me.

Well, I'm sure she's right.

But how will I get to the Sea of Eternity?

I had to practically drag myself to the palace

from Castle Grayskull.

Wait, I have an idea.

Here. Breathe this in.

Oh, I feel better.

My strength is back.

Man-At-Arms, what is this?

It's a new underwater breathing device

I've been working on.

It's the only I've made.

You must make more,

and get them to the rest of the people.

How? There's not enough oxygen left to put in the others.

No, you're our only hope, He-Man.

Take the oxygen and head for the Mystic Mountains.

Someone must be cutting off

the water supply to the forests.

And I'll bet that someone is Skeletor.

With the rest of us weakened,

he could take over the whole planet with no resistance.

But he wasn't counting on this.

A warning, He-Man, guard that canister above all else.

Without it, you'll be powerless against Skeletor.

And use it sparingly,

as if it were water in the desert.

Once the oxygen in that canister runs out,

there won't be any more.

I understand.

Go. All of Eternia is counting on you.

The Mystic Mountains. Perhaps this tunnel

will lead through to the Sea of Eternity.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Uh-oh. Now which way do I go?

Somehow, I've got the terrible feeling I'm lost.

An intruder.

I don't know what you're doing here,

but this is as far as you go.

Who is this strange intruder?

How ugly he looks.

He has no shell. Disgusting!

We thought he might have something to do

with the disaster that threatens our hive.

What disaster are you referring to?

Our race hatches new eggs only once every 50 years,

and it is time for the new brood to be born,

but our eggs do not glow as they should.

It's as though all of the life has been drained out of them.

If they do not hatch,

our race is doomed!

Come, strange sorcerer, out with it.

What manner of spell have you cast on us?

I'm not sorcerer. My name is He-Man.

I'm on a journey to stop this danger

which threatens your hive and the whole planet.

Lies! the ugly one seeks to deceive us.

My people are suffering as you are.

And why should we believe the word

of someone as hideous as you?

No, Shaman.

Let us not judge this one by his strange looks.

No doubt, we look strange to him. I am Garth.

What do you intend to do?

I must find the Sea of Eternity.

I believe someone is draining it

and taking away the planet's oxygen in the process.

I intend to stop whoever is doing this.

I believe you.

I will help you.

No, Garth!

Shaman, it's our only hope.

(RUMBLING)

A tremor!

The eggs will be crushed!

That should hold up the ceiling for now.

You... You saved our hive.

I knew I was right about you, friend.

And you are truly loyal, Garth.

Putting yourself in danger to save the eggs.

Now, let us hurry to the Sea of Eternity, as friends.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Ah, what's the point of us standing guard

for Skeletor anyway?

By now, everyone else on the planet

must be too weak to move. (LAUGHS MALICIOUSLY)

Good thing we've got these canisters of oxygen

to give us strength.

Yeah, the air's so thin

that nothing could get past us now.

We hardly ever need these paralyzer rays.

Speaking of which, I'm starting to feel weaker.

Time for some more oxygen.

Wait a minute.

I thought I saw something.

(GASPING)

A monster.

Stay back! Or you'll get this.

HE-MAN: I'll take that if you don't mind.

BEAST MAN: He-Man!

Oh, no! My strength...

(LABORED BREATHING)

...is gone.

You can't sneak up on me.

I can see anywhere.

No!

No strength.

You won't succeed, He-Man.

Skeletor will stop you.

They're too weak to cause us any more trouble.

All the more reason for us to hurry.

Imagine how weak the rest of the planet must be by now.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

Strange how those two thought I was a monster,

when they themselves looked so strange to me.

It just goes to show,

you shouldn't be fooled by appearances.

After all, your friend Shaman thought I was pretty ugly.

(WATER FLOWING)

Listen, do you hear that? Come on.

Water from the Sea of Eternia

being pumped into that pit.

We must hurry!

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

HE-MAN: The river which feeds the Evergreen Forest

has been dammed up.

And the Sea of Eternity has almost no water in it.

There's the answer. Just as I thought.

(LAUGHING)

Soon the Sea of Eternity will be completely drained.

Eternia's oxygen supply will be cut off.

Skeletor.

He's the one who is endangering

my people's unhatched eggs?

Yes, and the rest of the planet as well.

We must be careful.

He's crafty and very dangerous.

I am not afraid. Let's go stop him.

Nothing will stand in the way of my ruling Eternia,

and ruling over Castle Grayskull at last!

HE-MAN: Wrong again, Skeletor.

He-Man!

So, you made it past my henchmen.

No matter.

Within minutes, my pumping machine

will have completely drained the Sea of Eternity's waters.

Then nothing will stop me.

That's what you think.

(LAUGHING)

Is this the only ally you could find

to fight against me?

A hideous insect?

A crawling, ugly bug?

He may look ugly,

but he's got more heart, courage, and beauty inside him

than you could ever hope to have, Skeletor.

Ha! Enough of this.

You must be maintaining your strength

the same way I am.

My attractor beam will take care of that.

What?

Oh, no!

(PANTING)

Easy, He-Man, don't over-exert yourself.

It will only weaken you more quickly.

(LAUGHING)

I'm weak.

That's it, He-Man. Kneel before your new master.

If I could somehow clog up that pump.

That's it, He-Man, crawl to me!

Yes! It's all you'll ever do from now on.

You! Insect, what are you doing?

The fool! What does he thinks he's...

He's jammed the pump!

A temporary setback at best.

The reverse switch. I've got to find it.

I can have this fixed in minutes.

He-Man,

your ugly friend sacrificed himself for nothing.

No sacrifice is for nothing,

if it helps other people, Skeletor.

And your selfishness will be your own undoing.

(RUMBLING)

What the...

No!

Here, He-Man. Breathe deep.

Now I can feel my... My strength returning.

You may have stopped me, but you won't get me.

Garth, is it really you?

It is, friend He-Man.

It could take hours to pump all that water back,

and there's still one problem.

The dam!

Garth. Thank you, my friend.

But what do you suppose transformed you like this?

I'm not sure, but I think that this is the form

my people will evolve into in centuries to come.

The Sea of Eternity is rich in oxygen.

Your swim must have speeded up the process.

Perhaps. They say its waters have many unusual powers.

HE-MAN: Those water will revive the Evergreen Forest,

and Eternia's oxygen will be replenished once more.

And that means my people's eggs are about to hatch.

I must hurry back to the hive!

Come, my friend. We will go together.

CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man

And the Insect People have promised

to guard the Sea of Eternity from now on.

Then what happened today will never happen again.

Hey everybody, I got my magic back.

I'm sure you have, Orko.

Everything's back to normal.

I'll say. Watch this.

Mystic powers, far and near, make this beaker disappear.

ORKO: Funny, it worked perfectly last week.

(LAUGHING) Yes,

things certainly are back to normal around here.

Thanks to you, Adam.

Don't thank me. Thank Garth,

my noble friend.

Today we met Garth,

who to some people looked like a monster.

But Garth wasn't a monster.

He was a good person with a noble soul.

And in the end, his beauty showed through.

Real beauty comes from inside, which is why ugly people

can sometimes be the most beautiful people to know,

and why people who look beautiful

sometimes act very ugly.

Being beautiful on the outside is all right,

but being beautiful on the inside,

that's the best.
