01x06 - Orko the Great

[bunniefuu]

There's gotta be something
in here I can use to fix him.

Huh.

What have we here?

Okay, little guy... well,

I guess you're not that little,

but I think of you as a child,
which you aren't, which is good,

because I'm not graded
to rebuild an organic,

mostly because I don't like...

...fluids.

Anyway, this is the least I could
do to thank you for saving me.

Are you the... the Maker?

No.

That would be the genius
that wrote your code.

His name is Kronis,

and that was probably the last bit
of engineering he did for himself

before he found me to do
everything for him instead.

Anyway, this old data cog I
found should get you back online

without needing to access
the RK Hive Mind.

And then you can go back to Eternos.
Better than new.

As they say on Avion,
"Et voilà!"

At least I think that's
how they say it.

You are the first Eternians
to wield the Power of Grayskull

since Grayskull himself.

That was a thousand years ago.

Why hasn't anyone
used it since?

Those seated on the throne
after Grayskull's passing

lived and died by a royal decree

that none would ever
wield the power,

for it was too great.

Hey!

Whoa!

The power is too great!

Krass'tine, I don't think
that's what the elders meant.

I'm not Word Ma'am.

I'm Ram...

...Ma'am?

Now what're you gonna do, huh?

This.

Whoa! No fair!

How do you
even fit in there?

It's surprisingly roomy.

Meow!

Whoa!

Incoming!

Time out.

Becoming a Master
of the Universe

is all about learning
who you really are...

...inside and out.

I think inside
me just barfed on outside me.

To the archive... quickly!

Duncan, what's happening?

No... sudden... movements.

This can't be right.

I was there, and now I'm here...

which is very much not there.

He said he was chilly,
so he started a fire.

I tried to put it out,
but he melted the fire extinguisher

because he thought I was
attacking him with an ice spell.

Those books were first editions.

Of sacred Grayskull text?

Of books.

Uh, Teela?

Perhaps you might remedy
the situation?

Right. Sorry.

This just isn't something
I've seen.

Oh, and now it's raining?

Indoors?

Error.

Also, he thinks he can do magic.

This is no way to welcome
Orko the Great.

Who exactly is Orko the Great?

You summon the greatest magician
the world has ever known,

and you don't even
know who he is?

Error: Spell words not found.

Clearly, my talents are
more well-deserved elsewhere.

Anybody wanna see how
I upgraded the jet?

I have the Power!

Missus let you back
in the house?

What do you think, Baddrah?

Who's there?

Show yourself.

General?

What are you doing
skulking around out here?

Telling you to get back
to patrolling the market.

Right. Yes, sir.

Snake in the Grass
to Snake Mountain,

you copy?

Why are we doing a snake thing?

What?
You prefer "Shin Bone to Knee Bone"?

I'd "prefer" to already have
the Kirbinite in my possession.

You'll have it soon enough,
Lord Skeletor.

And then we'll all have the
havoc you've promised to share.

"Shin Bone to Knee Bone" it is.

You aren't jealous of the Hand
Witch's upgrade, are you?

Ignem.

Not in the least.

Cool.

The angry one can freestyle.
The tiger can talk.

Teela does magic two cool ways.

You've got the variable-density
musculature thing.

I can't even fix a simple robot

without it thinking it's a
blarking wizard or whatever.

If you had stopped to look
at anything else in that trunk,

you would've learned

that the tech you used
was a legacy recording

of the actual Orko the
Great's knowledge.

Why would that be in the castle?

Orko served on Grayskull's
court...

also in the book.

If this Orko thinks
he's that Orko,

then he's going to go looking for the king...
of Eternos.

Which is the last place
you wanna go,

seeing as you're caught in the
middle of a patriarchal triangle

between the uncle you don't need
and the dad you claim to not want.

Why would I want
Randor as a dad?

He's a bad king who didn't bother
to come looking for me... ever.

And he thinks using Grayskull's
power for any reason is ill*gal.

And as a result,
he's hunting several of us,

in various forms, as criminals.

Exactly.

So let's just turn around and let
Eternos handle him without us.

Wait.

If the guards manage
to neutralize Orko,

they'll probably have the Royal Engineer
link him back up to the RK Hive Mind,

which would sync his data with that
of every RK unit in the kingdom.

Turning them all into Orkos.

The Orkening.

Sorry. Let me turn that off.

Fine.

As long as we keep
a low profile,

how bad could a little trip
to the big city be?

Guards! Guards!

My clothing stand's
been burgled!

And what, precisely, was taken?

So very much has changed.

How long was I asleep?

So that's your excuse, is it?
Sleepwalking to steal?

Sleep-stealing?

Narcoleptic kleptomania?

Narcoleptomania!

Suppose we'll have to add breaking
and entering to the list,

along with shoplifting
those robes.

As court magician,

I demand you let me pass.

Nice try,
but King Randor eliminated that position.

"Randor"? Clearly, it
has been a while.

Regardless, allow
me to demonstrate

the wonder and awe that
is Orko the Great!

Are you seeing this?

- What's going on?
- What in Eternia?

Baddrah, be a gent and get someone from
the Royal Engineer's office up here

to deal with this...

On guard, fellas. We've
got a feisty one.

Ah!

It would seem I'm just
a little rusty, is all.

Watch and be amazed!

Oh. I see.

Won't they, I don't know,
kinda notice a bunch of kids,

a wanted criminal, and
a blarking tiger... no offense...

None taken.

...walking around like
we own the joint?

Nah.

This is how I snuck down inside
in the first place.

The only person who ever comes
down here is the king.

I don't think Orko's
made his way to him yet.

How can you tell?

Aside from nothing
being on fire.

King Randor's standing
right there.

My dad.

Right there.

He's turning around!

Have I mentioned that I'm not
quite over my fear of cats yet?

Why are you afraid of cats?

Because they're...
...uh, un... un...

Unbelievably ferocious?

Undeniably independent?

Un...

...predictable!

Thief?!

Tiger?

Your Majesty.

Guar...

Time to go.

Guards!

Like taking candy from a baby.

Not that babies should even
have candy in the first place.

Sword thief came back
for more, huh?

Whole city's
on lockdown!

Snake Bone to Shin Mountain.

I'm gonna need an extraction.

Never mind.

I got a better idea.

I am Orko the Great!

Why won't anyone believe me?

Well, you could always convince them
with a show of might or whatever.

Like when I defeated the lumbering
madness that was the Colossor?

Yeah, if that works for you,
it works for me.

Initiate maker override.

We wouldn't even be in this mess
if I hadn't been in such a hurry

to make that RK better
than Kronis ever even tried to.

Duncan, Kronis likes
to blow stuff up.

He builds things to destroy
other things.

You don't.

Citizens!

Gather round the greatest wizard
Eternia has ever known!

Maybe that's a different wizard?

Nah. Same wizard.

Prepare to be amazed!

I got him.

Stay still!

We could use some backup!

Gather in awe!

He's in maker-override mode,

doing something only Kronis
could've told him to do.

Hark!

The Colossor doth approach!

- What's happening? Is this place haunted?
- No idea.

What's going on?

Whoa!

This can't be good.

With a lumbering terror,
the Colossor towered over the city!

Okay, Orko's moving that armor
with his tractor emitters,

which we can overwork
to force him into standby mode.

Then I can undo Kronis's override because,
ironically enough,

he had me create his password.

Hit the giant monster
as hard as you can, repeatedly.

I'll take care of the rest.

By the Power of Grayskull!

We have the Power!

Only Orko the Great...

error: Override in place...

can save you from this
beast from beyond!

Tuvar, your elbow is digging
into my ribs!

That's not my elbow.

You guys attack from behind.

Where's
the fun in that?

Guys, I can fix this.
You just need to keep the big guy busy.

I've got the little guy.

Whoa!

No, I don't!

Pick on someone your own size!

Ish. Your
own size-ish.

I've got him!

Rammy! Barf Ball?

Joke's on you. I had
a heavy lunch.

Man-At-Arms wants us
to hit the big guy?

Let's hit him with
everything we got.

Lightning Strike!

Error: Power levels critical.

Maybe too heavy
of a lunch.

It's now or never, Man-At-Arms!

- I'm working on it!
- Need a lift?

Why not?

I'm the one...

...that fixes things!

Cancel maker override!
Password...

...Kronis is the best
at everything.

I just wanted people...
to believe in me.

There goes the neighborhood.

How did the story of
Orko and the Colossor end, little guy?

I... turned it into a tree.

We did it!

That's some fine teamwork,
if I do say so myself.

Did we win?

Maker...

...I am a wizard.

We know.

Let's get out of here before they
make us pay for all of this.

He-Man?

I'll catch up.

Just make sure I don't
have to come rescue you again.

Let's not tell anyone
about this, eh, Baddrah?

What happens in the tree
stays in the tree.

I guess the king did care.

I cannot believe
they've escaped yet again.

What in Eternos is this?

Your Majesty, what does it say?

That my brother Keldor...

is alive.
