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

MARLENA: Mayday! Mayday!

Can anyone hear me?

This is lieutenant Marlena Glenn of the Earth probe Valiant.

I have been caught in a cosmic storm and swept off course.

Does anyone copy?

Well, Marlena, old girl, you're on your own this time.

A million miles from home and stuck in the middle of an asteroid shower.

If I don't find shelter soon I'll be smashed to space dust.

(BEEPING)

My sensors indicate a small planet ahead.

No telling what's down there. I'll just cross my fingers

and hope for the best. Here goes nothing.

He-Man

(CRASHING)

He-Man

So that's how you came to land on Eternia?

Yes, and I can see it all again,

thanks to Man-At-Arms' memory projector.

Well, you were some pilot, Mother.

(CHUCKLES) That was a long time ago.

Mom, what was Earth like?

I'm afraid you'd find it kind of boring, Adam.

There are no giant green tigers or magical castles,

but it's a beautiful place, filled with beautiful people.

Sounds as if you miss it.

Oh, sometimes.

But my real home is here on Eternia, with you and your father.

I wouldn't trade anything for the life we have together.

Excuse me, Your Highness,

but I was looking for Adam.

Uh-oh!

Of course. I'll see you later.

And where were you this afternoon?

Well, I...

I thought you agreed to run through some combat maneuvers with me?

I did? Oh, yeah, I did, I guess,

but I got so busy this morning that... Really?

Let's see how busy you were.

ADAM: Hey! Don't!

(BUZZING)

TEELA: Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

ADAM: (SIGHS) Yeah. I didn't catch a thing.

See you on the drilling field.

Oh, brother.

(WHISTLING)

Oh, boy! It's almost done!

Wait till they see this!

They'll love it!

I thought I heard someone fooling around in my workshop.

I'm not fooling around, Man-At-Arms, I'm making a surprise

for the King and Queen.

The last surprise you gave them nearly burned down the castle.

I'm afraid to ask what this one does.

It's a music box, of course.

Just lift the lid and it plays a beautiful melody.

(TICKING)

Where did you get the parts forth is?

Over in that crate.

Why?

That's where we keep the bomb parts.

This thing's going to explode.

(GASPS) Yikes!

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHS) Big explosion!

If I've told you once, I've told you a million times.

Stay out of my work room.

Oh, well. Back to the old drawing board.

(RINGS AND EXPLODES)

What's Orko up to?

Mischief, as usual.

He almost wrecked the palace with another of his crazy inventions.

(LAUGHS) Speaking of inventions!

Your memory projector made a big hit with the Queen! Good!

Our queen is quiet a woman. Adam's lucky to have her for a mother!

MAN-AT-ARMS: Mmm-hmm.

She makes me wonder about my own parents.

I've told you, Teela. Your father was one of the greatest men

I ever knew. He gave his life in battle,

so Eternians could live in peace.

I was honored to adopt you as my own daughter.

And my mother?

That is the secret I promised never to reveal.

Some day you will learn that secret, Teela.

But not from me.

Even as a little girl, I had no memory of my mother.

Only of Man-At-Arms, who was always there for me.

He raised me alone,

teaching me both the skills of a warrior

and the manners of the royal court.

And because of his love and guidance I excelled at both!

But as to who my mother was or is

I have no idea.

ORKO: Why the long face, Teela?

Did Cringer use your shield as a water dish again?

No, Orko. I was just remembering back to when I was a little girl.

Oh? Bad memories?

TEELA: No memories is more like it.

If only I could see what happened before I was born.

Maybe if I were to ask the Oracle of the Crystal Sea?

The Oracle? No, Teela!

It's too dangerous.

I've got to take that chance.

But the Oracle's cave is surrounded by shadow beasts and monsters.

You can't go alone.

I have to, and you mustn't tell anyone where I've gone, Orko.

But the Crystal Sea, Teela?

I know. I would risk anything to learn the truth.

CRINGER: Oh, Teela's sure in a hurry.

Yes, it's not like her to run off alone.

Don't worry. Teela can look out for herself. I hope.

Do you know where she's going, Orko?

I promised not to tell.

After all, if Teela wants to go running off to the Crystal Sea,

that's her business.

The Crystal Sea?

Oops.

ADAM: Even Teela's no match for the evil creatures there.

Orko, you should have stopped her.

I tried. I tried.

Cringer, we've got to find her.

Oh, don't tell me I have to be the dreadful (STAMMERS) Battle Cat again.

Sorry, old cat,

but he could stay on Teela's trail better than you could.

By the power of Gray skull...

He-Man

...I have the power!

He-Man

(GROWLING)

He-Man

He-Man

(LAUGHS) How interesting.

The woman Teela is off on some mission of her own.

Seems bound for the Crystal Sea.

Your home territory, Mer-Man.

I beg you, Skeletor, let me deal with her.

Years ago, her guardian, Man-At-Arms, rescued a victim

I had chosen for the sea demon and I now demand revenge.

So be it!

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Hmm.

It's not the prettiest place I've ever been

but I didn't exactly come here for a vacation.

(SCREECHING)

A shadow beast!

I'd hate to meet one of those monsters.

(SCREECHES)

(SCREECHING)

The only thing these beasts fear is bright light.

So...

(SCREECHES)

And now, back to business.

He-Man

He-Man

We're almost to the Crystal Sea.

I hope Teela's safe!

He-Man

That's it!

The Oracle's cave.

Approach the Oracle.

My name is Teela. I've come...

I know why you are here.

You have come seeking your past.

A past that only I can make clear.

Behold, Teela,

do you know him?

TEELA: Wait. Yes. It's Man-At-Arms as a young warrior.

ORACLE: Years ago, your adopted father

was making his way through the evergreen forest.

He had received a strange psychic signal,

drawing him urgently through the woods.

Then, suddenly, a sound reached his ears. (SCREECHING)

It was the cry of a falcon.

Mer-Man and his subjects

had come to capture Zoar the falcon.

They intended to sacrifice the mystic bird

to an evil sea demon.

It would have been easy for the falcon to have flown away

but there was something in the nest

she was protecting.

Something she'd give her very life to defend.

(GRUNTS)

(THUDS)

(EXPLOSION)

ORACLE: Mer-man had been defeated

but he swore to someday get even with the young warrior.

The warrior looked into the nest and saw:.

Wait! Why did you stop?

I sense evil.

Coming closer. Beware, Teela.

Beware.

Beast Man!

I know Teela can take care of herself

but I can't shake the feeling she's headed for danger.

He-Man

After all these years,

the daughter of my old enemy, Man-At-Arms,

has finally fallen into my hands.

If it's a rematch you want, toad face.

Cut me loose.

I'll give you one you won't forget.

I have other plans for you, girl.

Avery special destiny for you to fulfill.

ORKO: So when He-Man and Battle Cat ran off to find Teela,

I thought I'd tell you too.

It seemed important to me.

More important than you realize, Orko.

To Teela's side I go,

on falcon's wings.

Wow! She sure knows how to make an exit! (CHUCKLES)

HE-MAN: Teela?

Are you here?

Easy, easy, great cat, easy. The Oracle means us no harm.

He-Man, your friend Teela is in danger.

She has been captured by Mer-Man.

(BATTLE CAT ROARS)

(SNIFFS)

You've picked up their trail, eh? Let's go!

MER-MAN: Once every 20 years,

the stars come into perfect alignment.

That is the time Bakkull

may be summoned from its underwater slumber

with this,

a Crimson Pearl!

Who is this Bakkull and what do you want with me?

Whoever commands the Crimson Pearl

also commands Bakkull, mightiest of sea demons.

But Bakkull demands a sacrifice for its services.

Twenty years ago, your father rescued a victim I had selected.

How fitting that you should now take her place.

(LAUGHS)

Let us summon Bakkull.

Hold it, fish face.

(ROARS)

He-Man! Stop them, you fools.

I must complete the spell.

(CREAKING)

Now, Bakkull, hear my command.

Come forth and serve the master of the Crimson Pearl.

(THUNDERCLAP)

Better let me handle this, Cat.

Your paws weren't made for climbing Crystal.

I think we could use a tunnel.

That's just what I was thinking.

Boy, the things people leave lying around.

(CRASHES)

(ROARS)

(GASPS)

Now, Bakkull, take your offering

and serve me well.

No!

Teela! Use my sword.

Stay back, monster!

(ROARS)

As long as Mer-Man holds the red pearl,

that monster is unstoppable.

Get them both!

Obey your master and destroy them!

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

No! The Pearl!

The Pearl was the only thing controlling Bakkull.

Help me! Help me!

(GROWLS)

MER-MAN: Help me! Help me!

He-Man

I may hate myself later but...

Alley-oop!

Thanks for the rescue, fool!

Now see if you can save yourself.

(LAUGHING)

(GROANS)

(GRUNTS)

He-Man

Sorry, big fellow.

He-Man

Now let's hope this will hold Bakkull for another 20 years.

You risked everything to go back for Mer-Man.

Any life, even an evil one is worth saving.

Now, let's go home.

Wait, He-Man. There is one more thing I have to do.

Oh, Oracle,

finish your tale. Tell me of my mother.

Young Man-At-Arms had driven off Mer-Man,

and made his way to the falcon's nest. Inside the nest,

was a baby girl.

It was the Sorceress' young daughter.

With the passing of her husband,

she had brought the child to the mountain to raise her in peace.

But after Mer-Man's attack,

the falcon knew that without a real home,

the baby would never be truly safe.

The young warrior's heart went out to the child

and he promised to care for her all his days.

You are that child, Teela.

That means my mother is...

SORCERESS: The Sorceress of Gray skull.

Mother? Yes.

You are my own daughter and someday,

you will take my place as the mystic guardian of Gray skull.

But for now, you have other deeds to do

and until that time when your special destiny calls,

you must forget what you have learned today.

She will only remember

that her mother was a woman who loved her very much.

I leave her secret with you, He-Man.

You can, I assume, keep a secret?

I've had lots of practice.

He-Man

(ROARS)

He-Man

He-Man

In today's story, I went in search of my mother.

I found her, but I also found something else.

That the man who had cared for me since I was a baby,

who loved me as he would his own daughter,

was just as much my father as any parent could be.

And so whether they are someone we were born to

or whether they chose us to adopt, it doesn't matter.

The ones who protect us, and teach us and love us,

they are the ones we call mother and father.

And they deserve the same kind of love from us!

Until next time!
