Calm down.

Now we're all in this together.

How can he get us home

if we don't know where we are?

I'm not a Torktum, you know.

I wouldn't build a device

that didn't store its home coordinates.

All we have to do...

...is punch the energizer switch and...

Where is the Key?

Perimeter search.

Each of us take a sector.

What's that?

Scan the area.

Alien life form.

Big.

- Let me blast it.

- Wait.

It might be intelligent life.

By the Sorceress, it's ugly.

It seems harmless.

What a hideous cry.

Maybe I can communicate

with the poor creature.

Gwildor.

Gwildor, we have very little time.

He-Man, I show. 84 chromons

until moonrise at Greyskull.

- We better find the Key and fast.

- What's your plan?

When we find the Key, Gwildor

will set the coordinates for Greyskull.

We'll use the element of surprise.

We'll drop right into the throne room...

...fight off 2,000 or 3,000

of Skeletor's crack troops...

...break into the force field

and free the Sorceress.

If we're going to split up...

...we'd better synchronize

our personal locators.

You both ready? And...

If you find the Key...

...activate the sourcing signal.

- Good journey.

- Good journey.

Gwildor.

I'm going. I'm going.

Thanks. Come again.

Sure thing, ma'am.

Billy, get off that game

and get Daddy some napkins.

I never thought I'd feel sad

doing that for the very last time.

Don't worry, Julie.

They've got fast food in Jersey.

Thanks a lot.

I got a going-away present for you,

but it isn't wrapped.

- You didn't have to do that.

- It isn't even in a box.

It's a piece of advice,

and I pray to God you listen to it.

If you break up with Kevin Corrigan,

you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Monica, this is not the 7th grade anymore.

Kevin's changed. I've changed.

Everything's different now.

Fine. Except for two things.

you still love him

and B:
he still loves you.

Kevin doesn't need me

or my problems right now.

I just feel if I stayed-

Julie, I know it's hard right now...

...but you don't have to move away.

- Yes, I do.

- Your folks would have wanted you to stay.

The best thing for me to do right now

is to get 3,000 miles away from Kevin...

...my house, this town and everything,

and just start out fresh.

That's Kevin.

I'm going to miss you.

So, what time's your bus to the airport?

-8:
30.

- Great.

You can make my sound check, right?

Yes?

- Yes, I'll make your sound check.

- All right.

I brought us dinner.

Oh boy, Robby's Ribs.

I thought it was something different

for a change.

Yeah, well, it's not very romantic

for our last date.

Look, Julie,

why don't you take a later flight...

Kevin, don't start that again.

We decided.

Okay.

Kevin, I'd like to go to the cemetery

to say goodbye to my parents.

Yeah, sure.

Don't ever sneak up on me like that.

This is my sector.

You're not supposed to be here.

An old soldier learns to follow his nose.

- Father, you're always hungry.

- I'm not always hungry.

During the Siege of Kreyf,

30 days without rations.

Father, the Sorceress.

We must find the Key!

We're not going to save Eternia

if we die of starvation.

Wait. Look.

I was doing that

before you were even born.

Not the natives, Father.

There, in the bushes.

Gwildor.

Holding out on us, huh?

Just in time. I was going to share.

Sure you were.

Teela.

Good food.

Yes, I've never tasted anything like it.

I wonder why they put the food

on these little white sticks.

Those are rib bones.

This used to be an animal?

What a barbaric world.

Never think while you're hungry.

I think we've wasted enough time.

We better get back to our sectors.

Gwildor?

It tasted good.

Gwildor.

I'm going. I'm going.

I never told anyone this before:

It's my fault they died.

Julie, come on.

It was a plane crash.

Those things just happen.

You don't understand.

We were all supposed to go

to the beach that day.

But I said I had to study because

I wanted to spend the day with you.

So they took the plane to Catalina instead.

Come on.

Your mom and dad wouldn't want you

to blame yourself all the rest of your life.

Would they?

No.

I wish I could change things.

But you can't.

That only happens in fairy tales.

What is that?

- Julie, be careful!

- But, Kev, look at this thing.

That is incredible. What is it?

I don't know.

Someone must have dropped it.

Dropped it, are you kidding?

Look at the size of that hole!

It's like it fell out of the sky or something.

This is one of those

new Japanese synthesizers.

- Here, let me try it.

- Okay.

Listen to this!

This is hot.

We've got to turn this in to the caretaker.

No way, come on, are you kidding?

He'd just keep this for himself.

The Cosmic Key has been activated.

We have a bearing on them.

How accurate?

Within a parsec eon.

The next time they use the Key,

lock in the source and open a doorway.

Shall I prepare a full battalion?

No. It may be a trap.

We'll send an advance group.

Assemble the mercenaries.

Have faith, Sorceress.

You won't be lonely long.

Julie...

...here, listen to this.

What do you think?

Sounds great.

Okay.

I want to see what this thing can really do.

Test, test, test. Hell, test.

Here, hold that.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to amp this baby up.

See how it sounds.

All right, are you ready?

Hold on.

All right, here goes.

I can't believe it.

Override complete.

We're locking in

on the Key's source of origin.

Very good. Excellent.

You are too easily pleased, Evil-Lyn.

Have you forgotten time is of the essence?

Show me!

There! That's close enough.

Have you assembled the mercenaries?

Here, and awaiting your command.

I have selected your finest warriors.

Blade.

Saurod.

The Beastman.

And Karg.

A curious quartet.

He-Man has slipped away from me.

I want him back.

This must happen before moonrise.

Now, you are to go through to this world

to where they are hiding.

Find the Key.

Do as you wish with the others,

but bring He-Man back alive.

- You do understand?

- Yes, Lord.

Good.

Open the door. Do not fail me.

I can't believe this thing!

I mean, did you see those lights?

Look, we've got to take this

down to Charlie.

- He's got to know what this is.

- No, you go ahead.

This sounds really strange,

but I want to spend some time here alone.

Say goodbye to the place.

I'm not going to be here for graduation.

Look, Julie. I'll just go by Charlie's later.

No, go ahead, I promise.

Are you sure?

Okay, all right.

I'll be gone 15 minutes tops, all right?

- Don't let anybody in here except Carl.

- All right.

You hear me?

- I'll guard this stuff for you.

- All right, 'bye.

Carl?

Carl, is that you?

- Blade!

- Yes, sir, no sign of the Key.

Scan the perimeter!

No one in, no one out!

Kevin, if this is some kind of joke,

it's really not funny.

Listen, you kids can't just come in here.

Don't kill him yet!

Leave him alone!

Somebody help me!

No! No! Take her alive!

She may know where the Key is!
