Teela arrives and is looking for Prince Adam who is late for combat maneuvers. Teela decides to use the memory projector and learns Man-At-Arms is her adoptive father who raised her when she was a child when her real father, a brave soldier, died in battle. Teela decides to set out to discover who her mother was, sets out to the Crystal Sea in search of The Oracle who hold's the identity of Teela's real mother. But Skeletor's henchman Merman sets out to settle a score with Man-At-Arms for defeating him years ago and summons Bakull, a sea monster to destroy Man-At-Arms. Will The Orcale reveal the identity of Teela's mother?
He-Man.
And the Masters of the Universe.
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia.
Defender of the
secrets of Castle Grayskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed
to me the day I held aloft
my magic sword and said,
by the power of Grayskull.
I have the power!
Cringer became the
mighty Battle Cat, and I became
He-Man, the most
powerful man in the universe.
Only three others share this secret:
Our friends the Sorceress,
Man-at-Arms, and Orko.
Together we defend Castle Grayskull from,
the evil forces of Skeletor.
Mayday, Mayday.
Can anyone hear me?
This is Lieutenant Marlena
Glenn of the Earth probe, Valiant.
I've been caught in a cosmic
storm and swept off course.
Does anyone copy?
Well, Marlena, old girl,
you're on your own this time.
A million miles from home, and stuck
in the middle of an asteroid shower.
If I don't find shelter soon,
I'll be smashed to space dust.
My sensors indicate
a small planet ahead.
No telling what's down there...
I'll just cross my fingers,
and hope for the best.
Here goes nothing.
So thats how you
came to land on Eternia?
Yes, and I can see it all again.
Thanks to Man-At-Arms memory projector.
Well, you were some pilot, Mother.
[chuckles] That was a long time ago.
Mom, what was Earth like?
I'm afraid you would find
it kind of boring, Adam.
There are no giant green
tigers, or magical castles.
But it is a beautiful
place, filled with beautiful people.
Sounds as if you miss it.
Sometimes.
But my real home here, on
Eternia, with you and your father.
I wouldn't trade anything for
the life we have together.
Excuse me, Your Highness,
but I was looking for Adam.
Uh oh.
Of course.
I'll see you later.
And where were you this afternoon?
Well, I uh...
I thought you agreed to run for
some combat maneuvers with me.
I did? Oh, yeah, I did.
But I got so busy
this morning, that...
Really?
Let's see how busy you were.
Hey... don't.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself.
yeah,
I didn't catch a thing.
See you on the drilling field.
Oh boy, it's almost done.
Wait till they see this, they'll love it.
I thought I heard someone
fooling around in my workshop.
I'm not fooling around, Man-At-Arms.
I'm making a surprise
for the king and queen.
The last surprise you gave them,
nearly burned down the castle.
I'm afraid to ak what this on does.
It's a music box, of course.
Just lift the lid and it
plays a beautiful melody.
Where did you get
the parts for this?
Over in that crate, why?
Thats where we keep the bomb parts.
This thing's going to explode.
Yikes!
Big explosion.
If I told you once,
I told you a million times...
stay out of my workroom.
Oh well, back to the old drawing board.
What's Orko upto?
Mischief, as usual.
He almost wrecked the palace,
with another of his crazy inventions.
Speaking of inventions, your memory
projector made a big hit with the queen.
Good.
Our queen is quite a woman.
Adam's lucky to have here for a mother.
She makes me wonder about my own parents.
I've told you, Teela.
Your father was one of the
greatest men I ever knew.
He gave his life in battle so
Eternians could live in peace.
It was honored to adopt
you as my own daughter.
And my mother?
That is a secret I
promised never to reveal.
Some day you will learn that secret, Teela.
Not from me.
Even as a little girl,
I have no memory of my mother...
only of Man-At-Arms,
who was always there for me.
He raised me alone, teaching me
both the skills of a warrior...
and the manners of the royal court.
And because of his love and
guidance, I excelled at both.
But as to who my mother was or is...
I have no idea.
Why the long face, Teela?
Did Cringer use your shield
as a water-dish again?
No, Orko, I was just remembering
back to when I was a little girl.
Bad memories?
No memories, is more like it.
If only I could see what
happened before I was born...
Maybe if I were to ask the
Oracle of the Crystal Sea.
The Oracle?
No, Teela.
It's too dangerous.
I've got to take that chance.
But the Oracle's cave is surrounded
by shadow beasts and monsters.
You can't go alone?!
I have to.
And you mustn't tell anyone
where I've gone, Orko.
But the Crystal Sea, Teela?
I know, but I'd risk
anything to learn the truth.
Oh, Teela's sure in a hurry.
Yes and it's not like her to run off alone.
Don't worry,
Teela can look out for herself.
I hope.
Do you know where she's going, Orko?
I promised not to tell. After all...
If Teela wants to go running off to
the Crystal Sea, that's her business.
The Crystal Sea?
Whoops.
Even Teela is no match for
the evil creatures there.
Orko, you should have stopped her.
I tried, I tried.
Cringer, we've got to find her.
Don't tell me I have to be
that dreadful Battle Cat again.
Sorry old cat, but he could stay on
Teela's trail better than you could.
By the power of Grayskull.
I have the power!
How interesting. The woman
Teela is off on some mission of her own.
She's bound for the Crystal Sea...
your home territory, Mer-Man.
I beg you, Skeletor. Let me deal with her.
Years ago, her guardian, Man-At-Arms,
rescued a victim I had chosen...
for the Sea Demon and now demand revenge.
So be it.
Thats not the prettiest
place I've ever been.
But, I, didn't exactly
come here for a vacation.
A shadow beast!
I'd hate to meet one of those monsters.
The only thing these beasts fear is
the bright light, so...
And now, back to business.
We're almost at the Crystal Sea.
I hope Teela's safe.
That's it! The Oracle's Cave.
Approach the altar.
My name is Teela, I've come...
I know why you are here.
You have come seeking your past.
A past, that only I can make clear.
Behold, Teela.
Do you know him?
Yes, it's Man-At-Arms, as a young warrior.
Years ago, your adopted father...
was making his way through
the Evergreen Forest.
He had received a strange
psychic signal...
drawing him urgently
through the woods.
Then suddenly a sound reached his ears.
It was the cry of a falcon.
Mer-Man and his subjects had
come to capture Zoar, the falcon.
They intended to sacrifice the
mystic bird to an evil sea demon.
It would have been easy for
the falcon to have flown away.
But there was something in
the nest she was protecting.
Something she'd give
her very life to defend.
Mer-Man had been defeated.
But he swore to some day get
even with the young warrior.
The warrior looked
into the nest and saw.
Wait! Why did you stop?
I sense...
evil coming closer.
Beware, Teela. Beware.
Fish Men!
I know Teela can take care of herself...
but I can't shake the feeling,
she's headed for danger.
After all these years...
the daughter of my old
enemy, Man-At-Arms...
has finally fallen into my hands.
If it's a rematch you want, toad face...
Cut me loose. I'll give you
one you won't forget.
I have other plans for you girl.
A very special destiny,
for you to fulfill.
So when He-Man and Battle
Cat ran off to find Teela...
I thought I'd tell you too.
Seemed important to me.
More important than you realise, Orko.
To Teela's side I go, on falcon's wings.
Wow, she sure knows how to make an exit.
Teela! You are here?
Easy! Easy, great cat! Easy!
The Oracle means us no harm.
He-Man,
your friend Teela is in danger.
She has been captured by Mer-Man.
You've picked up their trail eh? Let's go.
Once every 20 years,
the stars come into perfect alignment.
That is the time, Bakkull may be summoned
from its underwater slumber,
with this, the Crimson Pearl.
Who is this Bakkull?
And what do you want with me?
Whoever commands the Crimson
Pearl also commands Bakkull...
mightiest of sea demons.
But Bakkull demands a
sacrifice for its services.
Twenty years ago, your father
rescued a victim I had selected.
How fitting,
that you should now take her place.
Let us summon Bakkull!
Hold it, fish face.
He-Man! Stop them, you fools.
I must complete the spell.
Now, Bakkull, hear my command!
Come forth, and serve the
master of the Crimson Pearl.
Better let me handle this, Cat.
Your claws weren't made
for climbing crystal.
I think we could use a tunnel.
Thats just what I was thinking.
Boy, the things people keep lying around.
Now, Bakkull,
take your offering and serve me well.
No!
Teela, use my sword!
Stay back, monster!
As long as Mer-Man holds
the red pearl...
That monster is unstoppable.
Get them both!
Obey your master and destroy them.
No!
The Pearl!
The Pearl was the only
thing controlling Bakkull.
Help me, help me!
Help-me.
I may hate my self later, but...
Alley-oop!
Thanks for the rescue, fool.
Now see if you can save yourself.
Sorry, big fella...
Well, let's hope this'll hold
Bakull for another 20 years.
You risked everything
to go back for Mer-Man.
Anyone...
even an evil one is worth saving.
Now, let's go home.
Wait, He-Man.
There is one more thing I have to do.
Oh Oracle, finish your tale.
Tell me of my mother.
Young Man-At-Arms had driven off Mer-Man...
and made his way to the falcon's nest.
Inside the nest was
a baby girl...
It was the Sorceress' young daughter.
With the passing of her husband...
she had brought the little child to the
mountain to raise her in peace.
But after Mer-Man's attack...
the falcon knew that without a real home...
her baby would never be truly safe.
The young warrior's heart
went out to the child...
and promised to take care
for her, all his days.
You are that child, Teela.
That means my mother is... the Sorceress,
of Grayskull.
-Mother? -Yes.
You are my own daughter...
And some day, you will take my place.
As the Mystic Guardian of Grayskull.
But for now you have other deeds to do...
and until that time when
your special destiny calls...
you must forget what
you have learned today.
She will only remember that her mother
was a woman who loved her very much.
I'll leave her secret with you, He-Man.
You can I assume, keep a secret.
I've had lots of practice.
In today's story,
I went in search of my mother.
I found her,
but I also found something else;
that the man who had cared
for me since I was a baby...
who loved me as he would
his own daughter...
was just as much my father
as any parent could be.
And so whether they are
someone we were born to,
or whether they chose us to adopt...
it doesn't matter.
The ones who protect us,
and teach us, and love us...
they are the ones we
call mother and father.
And they deserve the same
kind of love from us.
Until next time.
And the Masters of the Universe.
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia.
Defender of the
secrets of Castle Grayskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed
to me the day I held aloft
my magic sword and said,

Cringer became the
mighty Battle Cat, and I became
He-Man, the most
powerful man in the universe.
Only three others share this secret:
Our friends the Sorceress,
Man-at-Arms, and Orko.
Together we defend Castle Grayskull from,
the evil forces of Skeletor.
Mayday, Mayday.
