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
ADAM: Well, Orko, we're all looking forward to meeting this old friend of yours.
He should be here any minute now.
Squonge and I are old buddies from the Trollan Academy of Magic.
He's a real great guy, but there is one thing you should know about him.
What's that?
Well, he has, uh,
Avery active imagination.
Ah, I see.
In fact,
he doesn't always tell the truth.
Consider us warned.
(WHOOSHING) He's here!
Squonge! Orko!
Gee, it's wonderful to see you again.
And you're looking great. Come on and meet my friends.
Squonge, these are my best friends in the whole universe,
Prince Adam and Teela.
Pleased to meet you, Squonge.
Did you have a good trip?
Well, it wasn't too bad,
but after I got out of hyperspace,
I set down on a minor asteroid for a few repairs.
Turned out there was a six-headed space hydra living on it!
I narrowly escaped with my life!
I see.
How nice.
Uh, I mean that you escaped.
Yeah! It was pretty scary there for awhile.
It was nesting in a tunnel,
and I flew my ship right into its mouth, and...
(WHOOSHING) Hey, what's that?
It's the intergalactic police.
I wonder why they're here.
ADAM: Greetings.
INTERGALACTIC POLICE AGENT: Greetings, sir.
Forgive our abrupt landing, but this is urgent.
We are agents of the intergalactic police.
We've been chasing Avery dangerous criminal,
and we trailed him to your planet.
We've come to advise your king.
I am Prince Adam, his son. I'll take care of that.
Good. This is our criminal.
He's called the Slave master.
He travels from planet to planet,
he overpowers his victims, then uses them as slaves.
He uses his slaves to mine precious minerals.
And this character keeps them in line. He goes by the name of Jawbreaker.
This is the Slavemaster's ship.
We'll leave you this video so you can refer to it.
We'll look into the matter at once.
INTERGALACTIC POLICE AGENT: Thank you.
Now, keep a sharp eye.
Goodbye. And thank you.
ORKO: This Slave master sounds like a dangerous character.
Yeah! He reminds me of the time I was enslaved
by King Frederick of Richfield.
Huh. That's amazing, Squonge,
but, uh, Teela, we'd better go.
Yes. It's vital that we make a report immediately.
Why do you have to make up all those weird stories, Squonge?
Adam and Teela have important work to do.
I didn't make it up. Don't you believe me?
I come all the way from Trolla,
and this is the way I get treated?
Hey, wait. Where are you going?
I'm going for a walk. By myself!
Hey, Squonge, wait. Come on back.
(GROANS) What a day!
Mmm, well... Oh, maybe I ought to apologize to Orko.
Ah, sometimes I do overdo it.
What?
(GASPS) It's the Slave master's ship!
Ooh! I'd better get back
and warn Orko and his friends!
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
Oh, maybe I was too rough on Squonge. He is a good guy.
And he did come all the way from Trolla to be here with me.
I was kind of, uh...
Orko, Orko!
Hi, Squonge. Hey, you know, I'm sorry...
Orko, I saw the Slave master's ship in the forest!
Golly, Squonge, don't you ever give up?
What? What are you talking about?
I mean, this made-up story of yours.
This isn't a story, Orko.
I saw the Slave master!
Did he have six heads? Look, Squonge,
I was all set to forgive you and apologize, when you came back here and...
Will you listen to me?
I spotted the Slave master!
We gotta hurry and warn Adam and Teela before he gets away!
I'll tell you what. I'll go back with you
to where you said you saw the ship.
If it's there, we go tell Adam and Teela.
If not, then you put an end to your storytelling once and for all.
Deal? Deal!
Come on! Come on! Hurry!
ORKO: All right, I'm coming, I'm coming.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
It was right over there.
This better be good.
All right, now let's see this... (GASPS)
Oh, it is the Slave master's ship.
Orko, we can capture him!
We'll be heroes.
Squonge, are you crazy?
We could never capture the Slave master ourselves.
Sure, we could. ORKO: Are you mad?
What are we going to do, waltz in the front doors
past those big sentry robots?
Take another look at that ship!
See those holes up there?
Now, unless I miss my guess, those are air vents.
If we were to fly very high above the ship
and dive straight down into the vents...
Squonge, you're completely crazy, but I like your style.
Let's go!
Yeow! (STAMMERING) It's dark in here!
Shh!
Hmm. Looks clear.
Let's see. Oh, no.
This is terrible. Shh!
SLAVEMASTER: These slaves are useless.
Why did I ever listen to you?
You're all weak and lazy.
This time, I want you to capture a better quality of slave,
one that will do the work of 10 of these weaklings.
We will search all of Eternia if we must,
until we find the strongest creature on this planet.
Ah-Ah-Achoo!
What was that?
Get them!
I think it's time for us to leave!
Oh, I agree, I agree!
Not so fast, my slippery little Trollans.
Orko!
Get out of here! Don't worry about me.
I'm not leaving you behind!
You can't do anything here. Get Adam and Teela.
Go!
Well, at least we got one of them, boss.
So, your little friend went to get help, did he?
Well, I've got a surprise for him.
We aren't going to be here when he gets back.
They'll never find you.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah. Never find you.
You're going to have to get used to the idea
of being a slave.
I have been working on a new way to bring...
SQUONGE: Adam, Man-At-Arms, Teela,
something terrible's happened!
Huh? What is it?
Orko's been captured by the Slave master!
Look, Squonge, we really don't have time for games.
What?
Squonge, I don't mean to be rude,
but what Adam means is, well,
you're inclined to tell stories from time to time.
And we have important work to do here.
Please! Orko's in danger!
Even if you don't believe me,
you've at least got to take a chance for Orko's sake!
Hmm. Perhaps we'd better investigate this.
Maybe you're right. You know, if Orko is in danger,
we'd better get there right away. Let's go.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
I'm telling you the truth!
This is where the ship was!
Well, there doesn't seem to be anything here now.
You've got to believe me.
Orko was captured here.
This whole thing seems to have turned out
to be a wild-goose chase.
Maybe not, Teela. This is Orko's magic ring.
I gave it to him for his birthday last year.
Oh, no!
You know, I think this might be a job for He-Man.
But how will He-Man find the Slave master?
Squonge, think.
Is there anything you haven't told us?
Well, the Slave master did say
that he wanted to capture a new slave,
and that he would search this entire planet
until he found the strongest man on Eternia!
Hmm. I think I have an idea.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
Faster, you fools!
Yeah. Faster. Faster.
I want to be done with this vein
and off Eternia in 48 hours.
There's plenty more planets in this star system
waiting to be mined.
Gee. (GRUNTS)
This thing is heavy.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Sorry.
Jawbreaker, come over here a moment.
I don't think that new slave of ours
is going to work out.
He's virtually useless.
Uh, yeah, boss. Useless. Useless.
Hmm. We're never going to make our quota
if we don't get stronger slaves
than that worthless little Trollan.
Now, I would like you to return to the surface
and bring back the strongest man on Eternia.
Uh, strongest man.
Okay, boss. Yeah.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
MAN-AT-ARMS: That's right, my fellow Eternians. Here he is,
He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.
(CROWD CHEERS)
And for his next feat, the mighty He-Man
will juggle three giant mill stones
weighing over a ton each.
This should do it, Duncan.
With luck, this little act will lure the Slave master to us.
It's kind of like fishing, with He-Man as the bait.
And now, He-Man will juggle
the mighty mill wheels as easily
as you or I might juggle apples.
Isn't that amazing?
(CROWD CHEERS)
And now, for He-Man's next trick.
(PEOPLE GASP) No more tricks, old fool.
It's time for everybody's nap. (CHUCKLES)
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
And this is for you, strongman.
You'll make a good prize for Slave master. (CHUCKLES)
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
HE-MAN: Now, now, no need to push, big fella.
This is better than an amusement park.
Oh, shut up!
Well, Jawbreaker, I trust that you've brought me a slave
superior to that last wretched specimen.
Oh, yes, master.
This one is very strong.
You don't know the half of it.
Silence.
Put him to work immediately.
We've got a deadline to meet.
Put him with that Trollan we captured.
Perhaps between the two of them,
we can get a little work out of them.
HE-MAN: Take it easy with that prod, pal.
You work here, strongman.
He-Man!
Hi, Orko.
Enough talk. Now, you work.
Yes. It's about time I got down to business.
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
Hey, how'd he do that?
I'll fix you now, wise guy.
Your nets can't hold me, metal-brain.
Oh, so you like to play rough, huh?
I gotta help He-Man!
The... The fire's out in the arm,
but Jawbreaker doesn't need fire
to stop a strongman.
Huh. You're stronger than I thought.
I better stun you with my power bolt.
(GROANING)
(CHUCKLING)
You're not so funny now, are you, flesh-face?
That's the stuff, He-Man! Yahoo!
There. That ought to hold you for awhile.
(CREATURES CHEERING)
Hmm. The work is going well.
Soon I will be done with this miserable world and off to...
You aren't going anywhere, Slave master,
except to jail.
What's this?
It seems my new muscleman slave
is leading a rebellion.
Well, it'll be a short one.
Get him!
Those guys look big.
I guess I better pull the rug out from underneath them.
Blast you. I'll take care of you myself.
Now I've got you.
Not if I can help it.
What?
Not so fast, Slave master.
Your slave-driving days are over.
(CHEERING)
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
SORCERESS: The last of the former slaves has been returned to his home.
And now, the Slave master and his henchman, Jawbreaker,
will be sent back to their home planet
to stand trial and be dealt with by the proper authorities.
Well, that's the end of that problem.
I think justice has been done.
CHORUS: (SINGING) He-Man
Well, I must go home to Trolla now
to complete my studies at the Academy of Magic.
Goodbye, Man-At-Arms. Thanks for everything.
Goodbye, little friend. Take care of yourself.
Goodbye, Teela.
Goodbye, Squonge. We'll miss you.
Goodbye, Squonge. Come and see us again sometime.
Bye, He-Man,
and thanks for rescuing my best pal in the whole universe, Orko!
You know, Orko, if you'd only believed what I said
when I told you I'd seen the Slave master,
this whole thing would never have happened.
Well, Squonge,
perhaps it was a little difficult for Orko to believe you
when you were always telling stories.
I'm sorry.
I... I didn't mean to tell lies.
I guess I've always wanted people to like me,
to think I'm someone special.
Well, we do like you, Squonge,
just by being yourself.
I'll see ya, buddy.
Take care, pal.
Well, fortunately,
I'm one of the best pilots in the Trollan fleet,
because it's sure gonna be a dangerous flight home.
I'll have to fight off the space pirates
and the three-headed hyperspace weasels and...
Uh, Squonge?
Relax, Orko.
(CHUCKLES) Just kidding.
(ALL LAUGHING)
In our story today,
Squonge learned a valuable lesson.
Squonge exaggerated and made up stories,
which caused people a lot of trouble.
And later when he needed people to believe him, they didn't.
You know, Squonge made up stories
to make people think that he was important.
And what he learned was, we're all important,
every one of us.
Goodbye for now.
