Well, there are problems

in the province of Basilia.

Strange things are happening,

Something very strange

Calm yourself first.

All right, Orko.

What are you trying to tell us?

Castle Grayskull, it's gone!

Gone?

A castle can't just up and disappear.

Well, this one did.

If what Orko says is true,

it might explain what happened.

Come on.

We'd better check into this.

[Teela] I've never seen anything like this.

[Orko] I told you. Look!

It's gone all right.

[Man-At-Arms] At least,

it's not here in our dimension.

In an odd sort of way,

things are beginning to make sense.

What's that, Duncan?

I think there's a connection

between your missing sword and Grayskull's disappearance.

The problems in Basilia were

probably just a side effect.

[Teela] This is incredible.

[mystical music]

[warbling]

This is very rare.

We are looking at a white hole.

A what?

[Man-At-Arms] A white hole,

it's like a black hole,

only it's not as dense.

[Teela] And you think Skeletor's involved in all of this?

[Man-At-Arms] Absolutely.

I suspect he utilized the Council of Evil

after he located a dying neutron star.

[He-Man] And was able to direct it

over the castle to use the tremendous suction force

from the nova

and pull the castle with the Sorceress

into another dimension.

Exactly.

[Teela] But where are they?

Come on, Battle Cat.

Maybe there's a clue on the other side.

[roaring]

The Sorceress may still be able to help.

Wait, I'm going too!

Don't underestimate the white hole's strength!

[zinging tone]

[He-Man] Whatever Skeletor

has planned for the Sorceress and Castle Grayskull

will take place very soon,

that I'm sure of.

But how do I get there to bring them back?
