01x06 - The Deep End

[bunniefuu]

I am Adam, Prince of Eternia, defender of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend. Fabulous!

By the power of Grayskull!

I have the power!

I have the power!

Ooh! What does this thing do?

Grabs things, and then smashes them.

Trolley moly! I could have been a trolley pancake!

Please, Orko, don't touch anything else!

It wasn't me! Honest!

Some kind of power surge emanating from the Sea of Rakash, nearly off the scale.

Off the scale? Oh, that's bad.

Yes, and if the object causing that power surge is what I suspect it is,

let's just hope it hasn't fallen into Skeletor's evil hands.

Well?

Weapon test activating in three, two...

What?

I... I don't know what happened. Sorry.

Much as I'd enjoy seeing Triclops receive his punishment, this was not his doing.

Oh? If you have some tidbit of information to relay evil in...

Much more than a tidbit. It's sharp, it's shiny,

and it's possibly the most powerful element in the universe.

Give us another clue. What's your rhyme with?

She's speaking of the Corodite Crystal.

So, the crystal still exists.

Of course. It was strong enough to topple the Mystic Wall.

No mere expl*si*n could destroy it.

Why didn't I think of this before?

You didn't even think of it this time.

You are fortunate I'm in a chipper mood, dear Evil Lin.

Return to the former site of the Mystic Wall and get me my crystal!

This activation of the crystal could be a diversionary tactic orchestrated by Skeletor.

I'm depending on the two of you to lead the Masters and defend the Kingdom.

You can count on me.

Since when?

Fine. But we stay here seaside, in case you need us.

Well, what are you guys waiting for? Let's go for a dip.

Sorry, Arco. This is no group swim.

I can travel swifter and more covertly alone.

Well?

Dig it away here, boss.

Yes. Still haven't found anything.

And so you shan't.

I thought I smelled something fishy.

So, that sniveling seaside merman thinks to use the Corodite Crystal for himself?

You three, round up Beastman, go to the Sea of Rakash,

and locate that mutineering merman and bring him and my crystal to me.

The crystal would have to be under water.

Leave it to me, as always.

My power reigns beyond compare.

Now let we free breathe water like air.

Human!

Hey! We can't breathe under water.

Not so sure I want to.

I thought you landlubbers had enjoyed traveling in style.

Charming.

And so it begins.

By harnessing the Corodite Crystal's power,

we'll have every ocean inhabitant cower again begging to serve me.

Tomorrow we try again.

Thinking, yeah.

And just keep your fins where I can see them.

You're in my neighborhood now.

Any sign of disturbance?

Not a ripple.

You see anything, Orko?

Orko?

Wow! What a great disguise!

Bet you can hide from anyone!

Out of here, Orko, now!

Good idea!

Give me my crystal!

Your crystal?

Well, since nobody was using it anyhow, I just thought...

Okay, fine.

Skeletor can have the stupid thing.

Hmm, maybe I don't get the crystal.

But I do get the pleasure of seeing you become lunch.

Hmm, send it over and...

Not yet!

Your crystal!

Draw me, follow me!

Man-it-arms got eaten!

Well...

Well, what?

It wasn't we who stole the crystal,

and it certainly won't be we who will be retrieving it.

Open wide for Merman.

Not again.

What's going on?

What's happening?

Must be something, eh?

Man-it-arms?

No, the crystal!

It's been activated somehow and is mutating the beast!

What's going on?

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Teletra Masters, deploy to Eastern Village.

See you for Kosh, now!

No, your dad's in the beast!

What?

Yeah, and it's one of those really nice shiny rocks too!

The cordite crystal?

Yeah, sounds right!

We've got to protect the village, but without hurting the beast.

The crystal is activated, the creature could blow sky high,

and my father along with it!

Beat that!

By the power of Greyskull!

I have the power!

Never mind.

From here they are blue, turning black!

Yes, they are from all over.

Move!

Right, fromerman.

Where are we from, Creek?

No!

No!

Run!

Run!

Wait! My father's inside!

Job one is to save lives.

We've got to get it away from the village.

Run!

To catch a fish, you need bait.

What bait?

Well, it seems rather fond of you.

Run!

He's there!

So, how are they gonna get out?

I don't even want to know.

No!

He-Man, thank you.

Your leg!

I'll manage. The cordyte crystal.

Run!

No!

What's happening to it?

It must be the crystal.

To the vehicles! Follow the beast!

Run!

Run!

This rich way!

It seems to be heading for Castle Grayskull.

What could it possibly want with that old ruin?

No idea. Let's just be glad we won't have civilians to worry.

Hila!

Father! Are you all right?

Listen carefully. You cannot let that creature reach Grayskull.

If the castle is in the slightest danger of being breached, you must destroy the beast.

I can't do that! You and He-Man would be-

Hila! Do as I say!

Father, you're asking me to-

Yes. I am.

Do not allow the creature to reach the castle!

You heard her!

Battle positions!

Well, this is turning out nicely.

Engage arms! Prepare to destroy the creature.

Please, He-Man, your only chance is to leave me. My armor is too heavy.

Not at all. The stomach acid lightened it up quite a bit.

On my command! Ready!

Aim!

Stand down! Stand down!

What an Eternia!

It's about to detonate. Get rid of it or half of Eternia will-

Maybe my sword can absorb the crystal's power. Transfer it to me!

Never survive.

And the alternative?

No!

That's not good!

And when I woke up this morning, I thought it was going to be a slow day.

Oh, good to have you back, He-Man.

Indeed.

And as for the rest of you, you allowed my crystal to be destroyed.

But, no matter. You see, I have gained something far more valuable.

And as for the rest of you, you allowed my crystal to be destroyed.

But, no matter. You see, I have gained something far more valuable.

Knowledge.

That wretched Teela was prepared to sacrifice Daddy's life to save Castle Greyskull.

Now, what could possibly be in that old pile of stones worth dying for?

But what if you guys didn't get out of the fish in time? You and Man-At-Arms could have...

I knew the risks, Orko. But I wasn't about to leave Man-At-Arms behind, no matter what.

Friends stick together, through thick and thin.

And being trapped in a creature's belly, well, it doesn't get any thicker than that.

Or slimier or yuckier.

Until next time.

Thanks for watching!
