01x02 - The Power of Grayskull

[bunniefuu]

Okay, voice in my head,

I clearly found your champion.

Now what?

Ahh!

Oh!

- Capture.
- Ah!

- Remain still. Contain.
- Okay, okay.

That Tribe brat

managed to harness
the Sword's power for himself...

Whoa.

- Halt.
- Ah!

- Remain still.
- Uh!

Do not run.

Where... ow!

Eh, I'll take it.

- Ha-ha!
- Stand down.

Ah!

Glitch.

Ahh!

Danger!

Ha-ha!

- Incinerate.
- Huh?

No magic.

Okay, fine.

Let's see how this works instead.

Yah!

Ow.

- Are you...
- Glitch.

- Hurt?
- No.

I'm just trying to do that cool thing,

you know, where you flip up
onto your feet.

Oh, come on.

I'll get the sword
from that muscle-bound child.

You deal with his friends
back in the woods.

With pleasure.

There you go.

Don't make it weird.

You can do that?

I guess I can.

Wonder what else I can do.

Ad dampnum effingo!

Capture. Contain.

Do not run.

Impact.

Ah! Oh, oh!

Stop punching things!

She cast a duplication spell.

You can't hit them without making more.

Stay behind me.

Incoming!

Ah!

What are you doing?

I have no idea!

Lightning strike!

Ahh...

I have the Power!

Adam!

We gotta help him.

You might wanna worry
about helping yourself first.

You burned down our village.

Oh, was that your village?

You'll do no more harm this night,

you technological terror.

There's nothing more useless
than a kitty without its claws.

This is for the Tiger Tribe!

Don't worry. I'll make this quick.

Huh?

Aw, crud.

Adam! Wake up!

"Adam"?

Very interesting.

Circa!

I'm sure she'll be... fine?

We've got you.

Wait for me!

Everyone ready?

Let me in!

- I'm letting her in.
- Don't you dare.

That witch has caused enough trouble.

Please!

Uh, guys?

We gotta go.

Fine.

Whatever.

Hey, there, Teela.

You're Kronis's...
"Dinkin" was your name, right?

I'm Duncan's "Duncan"...

...but, yeah, that's me.

Hey.

Remember that time I saved you guys

and drove through all those trees

and ran over my boss
and the witch he hangs out with?

You're welcome.

I kind of broke our getaway vehicle
in the process.

Then just drop us back at the village
and keep going.

You can't go back, not as long as they
want that sword and we have it.

So throw it out the window
and let me take my friends home!

Is that what Adam would want?

Don't say his name like you know him.

What I know is that
the cuff he had on his arm

merged with the sword like
they were meant to be together.

Why would they do that?

I think Adam's just as connected
to Grayskull as I am,

and I think he'd want to know why.

Don't you?

He would do no less for us.

- But the village...
- Is strong and shall endure.

I need to set us down somewhere

and get to work on those engines.

Find a good hiding spot,
and make it quick.

We won't have
knocked Evelyn down for long.

F-foliage.

Ahh!

Oh... ow.

All right.

Don't just float there. Find them.

Your runt hit me with a transport.

When we find him, how's about
we both hit him with one?

I'd like that.

Soon, Randor.

I have unfinished business
to attend to first.

King Randor?

What did the thief take?

A sword, Your Grace.

The Sword.

My only son,

my only son and my brother,

died because of the power
that sword can harness.

Find the thief, General.

I want to look her in the eyes

when I take that sword
back from her grasp.

We're doomed.

By the Power of Grayskull?

What did he say?

Let me try, let me try, let me try.

I have the power!

I thought you said
those were the words, Witchy.

Where's all the...

...you promised?
No, no, no, no.

You're putting emphasis on the wrong word.

Watch. Try it like...

I... have the power!

I feel different.

Do I look different?

Uh, perhaps it's more
along the lines of...

I haff the pow-rah!

This isn't a toy.

The sword's out of juice, anyway.

Adam!

- You okay?
- So what did it feel like?

You turned into a big, ol' He-Man.

Were you still you on the inside,

but you looked like him on the outside?

Or was he the same on the outside

as he was on the inside

and you were somewhere else entirely?

That's a lot of questions. Wait.

- Who are you?
- Duncan.

Formerly of the bad guys.

The same bad guys that torched my village?

Uh... uh...

Mm. You know what?

I'm gonna go get to work on that engine.

Glad you have you back.

Here. This is apparently yours.

"Champion."

I think I'm just gonna get
a little air for a minute.

Stressed?

We lost the Sword of Grayskull

to a bunch of children
who then stole our vehicle.

No. Why would I be stressed?

Any good news from the poacher's drones?

They're still searching.

Think I found us a way

to maybe make up some lost time
while we wait.

Couple of sky sleds parked
near Randor's checkpoint.

Did the dullard finally realize

what had actually been stolen
from under his nose?

See for yourself.

No, thanks.

I've got my own.

Magnificantes vitrum.

Show-off.

Why aren't any of them moving?

Something isn't right.

Et lux.

Curiouser and curiouser.

What happened to them?

Someone or something

drained them of their very life's essence.

That's very dark magic,

even by my standards.

Cool.

Run! Save yourselves!

Save ourselves from who?

"From whom."

It can't be.

Can it?

Oh, it can, dear friends.

- That voice.
- Prince Keldor?

In the flesh...

...or what's left of it.

Join me, won't you?

There's much to discuss.

You wanna talk?

Gosh, Krass, about what?

Oh, I don't know.

Ram-Ball. The weather.

Oh, and maybe He-Man?

The "He" was still me on the inside.

That sword back there...

it connected me to something
bigger than myself,

bigger than the tribe or the jungle, even.

Something... old and important.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I don't know.

Oh, ah...

Ah!

Well, the witch back there
thinks that sword back there

has something to do
with wherever you came from...

back then, before Cringer found you.

Which is kind of the exact thing
I've been waiting for,

some sign that there was more to my life
before the jungle.

Then why are you up here moping

instead of down there asking questions?

Because I'm afraid
I'll lose you and Cringer

once I start learning the answers.

Do I like being away from the jungle?

No.

Do I like the witch that's
turned our lives upside down?

No.

Was that something I should have eaten?

- No.
- Krass.

Do I like the thought of you leaving?

No.

That's why I'm coming with you,
to help you see this through.

Tiger Tribe roar?

Tiger Tribe roar.

Okay, okay.

The metals in these rocks should shield us

from the drones for a little while...

...but your cubs making all that noise

won't help us with the low profile
we need to keep.

What are they doing?

Being a family.

- Are you...
- Cold?

I'll admit there's a chill in my bones
I just can't shake.

A chill in my bones.

Would you like to know what isn't funny?

Convalescing in stasis for ten years

while I waited for a rescue
that never came.

You kidnapped the king's son
the night of our coup,

then vanished.

All of Eternos thought you dead.

There was a funeral and everything.

Oh.

Was it fancy?

Well, we were in exile
because of the coup,

so we didn't really...

What's important is that
we are back together now.

How did you find us?

This serendipitous circumstance
is just that.

I came across Randor's lackeys

on my way back to Castle Grayskull

to finish what I started.

You know where it is?

How else do you think
I became the man I am today?

The castle and its infernal guardian

afflicted me with this blight of havoc

when I tried to seize
Grayskull's power for myself...

...choosing this scepter
instead of the sword.

Well, the scepter seems very nice.

Yes, well, this "very nice"
scepter can't fix me.

The castle can,

but not without the sword.

We had hoped to use the sword
to exact our revenge on Randor,

If we can harness the power
of Grayskull itself...

The sword is the key to everything.

And we know exactly
where they're hiding with it.

Where who is hiding with it?

You may not have been

the only royal to cheat death that night.

Is that what the voice
in your head looks like?

I think it's where
the voice in my head lives.

I've seen it in my dreams
for as long as I can remember.

I think it's Castle Grayskull.

So if we find the castle,

we can learn more about, well, everything.

And then...

...we can fix the sword

and get that big ol' He-Man
back out, right?

I'm still me on the inside.

Well, "Me-Man" just sounds ridiculous.

Stop!

Ow!

No fair with the helmet!

- Adam the Amazing!
- He-Man.

- Man-Adam.
- He-Man.

Bigger Adam.

I think that's the one.

- Really?
- He-Man.

Ugh. Teela.

Honestly, I don't care.

Ow!

Ah! Stop!

What about you, Dinky?

What should we call him?

Whatever we end up calling him,

I think we need him back, fast.

They couldn't have found us
that quickly, could they?

Capture. Contain.

Contain.

Get back to the ship!

Any time now, Duncan!

Working on it!

Oh, right.

Ah...

Ahh!

Cringer, stay back!

My family is in danger, Adam.

I'm here to help.

Uh, Cringer...

Yeah?

Talky the Tiger can actually
be super useful to me inside.

I need someone to flip the switch

when I give the signal... whoa!

...so we can get the heck out of here.

Then flip it, I shall,

with aplomb, no less.

Thanks, Duncan.

A good engineer
uses all the tools in his belt.

Hah!

Can you use them a little faster, maybe?

Working on it!

Talky, now!

Gonna need a few more minutes, g*ng.

- Glitch.
- Ha-ha!

Oh.

Huh?

They're still enchanted.

So un-enchant them.

My magic isn't strong enough
to undo someone else's spell.

Huh, well, it was nice meeting all of you.

Ah!

No!

There's too many of them!

Who's there?

Why, Adam...

don't you recognize your Uncle Keldor?

It's time to come home.

Home?
