Masters of the Universe

At the center of the universe,

at the border between the light and the dark

stands Castle Grayskull.

For countless ages, the Sorceress of Grayskull

has kept this universe in harmony.

But the armies of darkness do not rest,

and the capture of Grayskull is ever most in their minds.

For to those that control Grayskull will come the power.

The power to be supreme. The power to be almighty.

The power to be masters of the universe.

Report, Evil-Lyn. Speak.

We have sealed the gates to the city.

The castle is secure and we are closing in on the Thenurian as we speak.

Yes, yes. And He-Man?

He continues to lead the resistance.

I assure you, we will have him before the day is out.

I want him kneeling at my feet.

After all this time,

- Grayskull is ours. - No!

Mine.

The power of Grayskull

- has not yet passed to you. - Hmm.

Someone is speaking to me.

Yes. Sorceress.

My lovely prisoner.

My prisoner at last.

I've won. I've won.

The darkness is rising to embrace you.

The dark can embrace the light but never eclipse it.

You have not won yet, Skeletor.

He-Man is still alive.

- I can feel it. - Really?

How sensitive you are.

Can you feel this?

Evil-Lyn, activate the holosphere.

People of Eternia, the war is over.

My forces are victorious.

The Sorceress of Grayskull is my prisoner,

and her powers are now joined with mine.

Let this be my first decree.

Those who do not pledge themselves to me

shall be destroyed.

The new age begins.

He-Man, thank the Sorceress you're alive.

I've been looking for you.

Oh.

Grayskull...

- It was terrible. - How many units are left?

Not many. All of us were scattered.

Suddenly, they were everywhere.

- Chaos. - Someone betrayed us.

Help! Help!

- Get me out of this! - It's all right.

Help! Help! Help, somebody.

- Help. - All right, all right, we heard you.

- Pull the pole out. - Careful. Careful.

- Thank the Sorceress. - I hear you come.

Ah! Oh. Uh...

Who are you?

Why, I am Gwildor of Thenur,

locksmith and inventor.

Ah! Skeletor's forces were hunting me down.

A million blessings upon you for saving my life.

No blessing is necessary. Any foe of Skeletor's is a friend of ours.

Now, why are you so important to Skeletor?

Uh... Help me.

I'd better show you. Please come with me.

I remember the days we didn't have to lock our doors.

Those days will come back. Oh, yes.

Enter, enter.

Come on, come in. Welcome to my home.

Come on.

Come, come, come.

Now, you ask why is Skeletor after me? Ha!

Because of my invention.

Because of this.

Now I wish I hadn't created it.

Skeletor wants me killed so I can't make another one.

If he knew I had this prototype... Oh.

What is it?

What does it do?

I call it

the Cosmic Key.

It is the most unique key in the universe.

The tones it generates

can open a doorway to anywhere.

- Anywhere? - Exactly.

One simply computes gravitonic tones

for a specific destination,

activates the energizer and...

And that's how Skeletor's troops got into the city and surprised us.

Yes. Yes.

I'm afraid so.

You little worm.

- Don't you realize what you've done? - Easy, Teela. He didn't know.

That's right. How could I know? We Thenurians are a peaceful race.

Trusting in every way.

A woman came to see me.

Said she heard about my fame as a locksmith.

She seemed, uh, interested in my work.

How could I know she was from Snake Mountain?

- She was beautiful. - That would be Evil-Lyn.

She tricked me. She stole the key.

Gwildor,

can this device of yours get us to Grayskull?

- Certainly. - To the Sorceress?

Those were the first coordinates I calculated before she came.

- Oh, good. - Oh, but we can't. We can't.

If we disturb the gravitonic waves, Skeletor's key will locate us.

- - Oh.

Sounds like he's already located us.

Warlord, to the point.

No, no, no. Not that way. This way, the secret passage.

- Hurry. Hurry. - Go.

- In the corner, there. Let's move. - Right.

Gwildor, where does this lead?

To the caverns underneath Grayskull.

Ionize.

Gwildor, hurry.

- Yes, yes. - Come on.

I don't like adventures. Oh!

Secure the room. Hurry.

Find the key. Tear this place apart.

He-Man, we made it. Look.

Shh, shh! I know he's here waiting for us.

- You're right. It's too quiet. - Look. The Sorceress.

Come on.

Gwildor, hurry.

- Shh! - Be careful.

Quiet.

Sorceress?

Sorceress, we'll free you.

Skeletor has imprisoned me within this energy field

which only he can dissolve.

You are in danger here. You must leave.

We won't leave without you, Sorceress.

Gwildor, can your key open a door to the force field?

- Of course. - Then do it now.

- It'll take time. - Let's get started then, Gwildor.

- Gwildor, over here. - Oh. Uh, uh...

I have to take a reading and compute the gravitonic tones.

He's taking your power.

I can withstand him until moonrise.

Until the Great Eye opens on the universe.

- They're coming. - Ah!

Gwildor, get back there. Keep working.

Come on. Come on.

Everything comes to he who waits.

And I have waited so very long for this moment.

Let her go.

I don't think so.

No.

While she remains imprisoned within this field,

her powers increase my own, and when the moon reaches its zenith,

the Great Eye will open

and all the powers of Grayskull

will be bestowed upon me.

Your wondrous Sorceress will die.

You dare threaten her life?

I dare anything.

I am Skeletor.

Throw down your weapons and pledge yourselves to me,

or you will join her.

It's not her you want, it's me.

It's always been between us.

Silence.

It's the locksmith.

The little worm has another key.

What?

No.

Kill him!

- Cover Gwildor! Keep working. -

Gwildor.

Can that thing get us out of here?

It will. It will. But where?

Anywhere. Just do it fast.

Yes, yes, yes.

It's working.

It's working, it's working.

Man-at-Arms, Teela. I did it!

The door. It's open. Let's go. He-Man!

No! I won't leave her!

But you must. Eternia needs you alive, He-Man.

You still have until moonrise. Go.

He-Man, let's move. Come on, go.

Come on, Gwildor.

Stop him!

Gwildor, come on!

The door! The door!

- Gwildor! - My key.

The key. Get the key.

Find them. Trace them!

I want them and that key hunted down and brought to me.

It looked as if he was punching the keys at random.

- There's no way of telling where they went. - Monitor the frequencies.

Wherever they are, they'll use it again. When they do, lock it in.

He-Man lives and possesses that key.

I must possess all or I possess nothing.

Find them.
