The sword's gone, Cringer.

I can't become He-Man

Watch it.

This is my only suit.

We've got to warn the others.

Battle Cat,
where are you when I need you?

[creatures shrieking]

In here.

No, no.

You must go back.

You were banished, Darkdream.

As you can see, I'm back.

[laughing wickedly]

How did you escape
the Chamber of Darkness?

I sealed it myself.

You will soon know.

You're under arrest.

[Darkdream]
I'm no longer your prisoner.

Help!

Father, help!

Help!

Father, help!

Ugh!

What a horrible dream that was.

Ugh.

It was...it was just a dream.

Help!

Help!

- Wake up, Cringer.
- Help!

Cringer, you're
having a nightmare.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Point me at those
slime monsters.

Slime monsters?

Hey, I was having
the same dream.

There haven't been

any slime monsters
on Eternia since...

[He-Man] Since Darkdream
was sealed in his chamber.

Come on, Cringer.

Darkdream's coming back.

We know.

He gave all of us nightmares.

Not only is Darkdream returning,

but his powers
are stronger than ever.

[Darkdream laughing wickedly]

I hope they enjoyed
their little nightmares.

Now they will know
I'm returning.

And it is up to you
to put Eternia

into total darkness
so I can leave these chambers.

Why have you called me here?

I haven't the power
to darken the Eternian sun.

Evil-Lyn is right, my lord.

It is an impossible task.

Impossible?

Well, do it anyway.

You know I can only live
in darkness.

But my powers no longer
work well on Eternia.

They are too weak.

The Sorceress saw to that.

[Darkdream]
And what about you, Evil-Lyn?

It would take more power
than mine alone.

[growls]

There must be a way.

Find it!

Or that wand which gives you
so much power

will be returned

to the black pools
from which it came.

[warbling tone]

[regal music]

♪ ♪

How could Darkdream's powers
have escaped?

Well, the seal on the chamber
must have been broken.

It would have taken a large
expl*si*n or a land disturbance.

[yawns]

I had a rough night.

Yi-yi-yike!

It's about time you woke up.

Well, a guy can't get
any sleep around here,

what with all the explosions.

Explosions?

Where, Orko?

In the Crimson Valley.

They've been keeping me awake
for days.

[Teela]
But that's so far from here.

Orko can hear a pin drop
in the Tanglewood Forest.

They've been setting off
some big blasts out there.

Could those explosions
have broken the seal

to Darkdream's chambers?

Well, the seal is here.

And the Crimson Valley
is here.

They're awfully close.

That's solid granite.

They must be using Nodroxyn.

Nodroxyn?

It's the most powerful expl*sive
on Eternia.

Teela, you and Adam fly out
and take a look at the seal.

We have to know
if it's been broken.

Can you move the moon, Tavor?

Yes.

With Evil-Lyn's help.

[Darkdream] Last time
you cast a spell, Tavor,

the Banshee Jungle
turned into a desert.

Well, everybody makes mistakes.

[chuckles]

[Darkdream] How long
will this eclipse last?

As long as I wish it to.

Eternia will be lost
in eternal darkness.

Moon, moon, hear my cry.

When I clap my hands,
move through the sky.

The seal on Darkdream's
chamber's been broken.

Then we'll have to reseal it
immediately before he escapes.

We've got to hurry.

Darkdream becomes stronger.

Oops.

Wow.

Something strange, all right.

[He-Man] No!

Oh, no!

You need flying lessons, pal.

Hey, I can't lift my legs.

Our gravity is getting stronger.

It's pulling us down.

This is creepy.

It's getting dark.

[He-Man] And it's the middle
of the afternoon.

[Teela] Father, we're having
an eclipse of the sun.

We aren't due for an eclipse
for two years.

Our moon must be out
of its orbit.

Well, that explains
the gravity problems.

with nature?

What do you think
of my eclipse?

Look, you moved the moon
out of its orbit.

Now it's heading right for us,
you included.

What?

I asked for an eclipse,
not a collision.

[Tavor] I guess that I made
a small error.

Small?

Eternia is finally mine,
and you're about

to wipe it out of the universe?

Stop it!

I can't.

I don't have that much power.

Try!

There's the Sorceress.

Maybe she can help.

She's been captured, look.

We'll have to get Darkdream
to release her.

And give away the secret
of Zoar the falcon?

Ah, we've sworn
never to reveal it.

Man-At-Arms, Adam is right.

You must not reveal the secret.

But Eternia will be destroyed.

You must find another way
to save us.

I...I cannot stop it,
Darkdream.

The moon's getting closer.

The Sorceress said
"another way."

How can we possibly move
the moon back into its orbit?

The Nodroxyn.

If it's exploded
in the atmosphere...

Yes, it might work, but you
wouldn't be able to get it

close enough to the moon.

Well, I wouldn't,
but He-Man would.

My...my power.

It is gone.

Fool!

There must be a way to escape.

There is...

for me.

Farewell, Darkdream.

Cowardly witch.

Oh, no, you don't.

In today's story,
I had a bad dream.

You know, bad dreams
or nightmares

happen to everyone,

and they can seem pretty real,
but they aren't.

They're no more real
than any make-believe story

or fairy tale.

So don't be ashamed or afraid

of telling anybody
about your dream.

It happens to all of us.

And like so many other things,

talking it over with your mother
or your father

or maybe even a good friend

can make you feel
a whole lot better.

Bye for now,
and pleasant dreams.
