- I will.

I win.

How long?

Half a preton until moonrise.

Do you hear, Sorceress?

The final moment has come.

All the forces of Greyskull...

...all the powers of the universe,

will be vested in me!

Me!

And you will cease to exist.

It is not too late to undo this madness.

Madness?

I demand the destitution,

shame and loneliness of scorn.

It is my destiny. It is my right.

Nothing will deter me from it.

Men who crave power...

...look back over the mistakes

of their lives...

...pile them all together...

...and call it destiny.

Thank you for that bit of philosophy,

Sorceress.

Here is my response.

Yes, Sorceress.

The sword of Greyskull.

Mine!

Now, and forever!

Your champion.

Witness this moment, He-Man.

This moment

when the powers of Greyskull...

...will become mine for eternity.

Our lifelong battle is ending at last

in the only way it could.

Holosphere standing by.

When the Great Eye opens...

...the people of Eternia

shall see you kneeling to me...

...just before you die.

I'll never kneel to you!

Yes, you will! Yes, you will!

Or I shall reap

unforgettable harm upon you!

Lubic, let me drive you home

so you can get a little rest.

I was in Korea.

I never saw anything like this.

It's him! That's him!

Not again.

Come on, we're moving in.

I got it.

- How is she?

- The same, Kevin.

This should give us the tones we need.

How?

Just press the keys.

Keys? What keys?

No, no, no. Here.

Excellent!

Wonderful!

You never told me you had

sonic keys in this world.

I just hope it helps, Gwildor.

- Thank you, Kevin.

- It's okay.

I'll have this ready in a preton.

Kevin, please don't leave me.

I promise you, Julie...

...I'll never leave you.

Never.

I love you.

I love you.

Enough.

Where is your strength?

Where has it gone?

Look at your precious Sorceress.

An old crone. Weak. Withering.

Dying.

Are you ready to kneel now...

...proud warrior?

The moon rises to its apex.

Do you hear?

The alpha and the omega.

Death and rebirth...

...and as you die...

...so will I be reborn!

What're they doing over there?

We've got to stop this fast.

Stay here and cover me. Spread out.

- And wait for my signal.

- Yes, sir.

These guys are mine.

Peple f Eternia!

I stand before the Great Eye

of the Galaxy...

...chosen by destiny...

...to receive the powers of Greyskull.

This inevitable moment will transpire

before your eyes...

...even as He-Man himself

bears witness to it.

The Eye pens!

Now I, Skeletor...

...am Master of the Universe!

Yes!

Yes!

I feel it.

The power fills me.

Yes!

I feel the Universe...

...within me.

I am a part of the Cosmos.

Its energy flows...

...flows through me.

Of what consequence are you now?

This planet, these people...

...they are nothing to me!

The Universe is power!

Pure, unstoppable power!

And I am the force! I am that power!

Kneel before your master!

Fool!

You are no longer my equal.

I am more than man.

More than life!

I...

...am...

...God!

Now...

...you will...

...kneel!

Kneel!

Are you ready, Kevin?

I'm going to set the power.

Now here goes.

Now, Kevin, now!

Freeze! Nobody move!

You're all under arrest!

Throw down your weapons,

place your hands on your heads!

- You have the right to remain silent-

- Lubic, you don't understand!

- We've got to get back.

- Nobody's going anywhere!

Where are they?

Where are your friends now?

Tell me about the loneliness of good,

He-Man.

Is it equal...

...to the loneliness of evil?

Holy sh*t!

- We did it!

- Gwildor, get down!

Destroy them!

Take cover!

- You promised not to hurt them!

- I lied.

Farewell, He-Man.

Lock him!

Get him! Get him!

Give He-Man some cover action.

Kevin, watch the rear!

You! Watch the forward position!

Will somebody tell me

what the hell's going on around here?

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

Lubic, this is for real. Just get down!

Nobody takes pot shots at Lubic!

All right, freakos, you want to play games?

Then let's play!

Come on, you mother!

No! Don't kill him! I want him alive!

You cannot hide from me!

Karg, prepare the battle station.

Surely you won't leave

with Skeletor still...

Yes.

Warlord, let's go.

Signal the retreat.

No!

I have the power!

You!

You will no longer stand

between me and my destiny!

But I will!

I told you it was always been between us.

I ache to smash you out of existence!

To drive your cursed face

from my memory forever!

- Enough talk!

- Yes! Let this be our final battle!

Skeletor...

...it's over.

Yes.

For you!

He did it!

He-Man!

Victory!

Victory.

Lubic, look at you.

So you're really going to stay here?

Are you kidding?

What am I going back there for?

And look what I got here. I got a castle.

I got a view, I got clean air,

I got a beautiful woman.

Some kind of retirement, huh?

Julie, keep this with you...

...and Eternia will always be near.

Thank you.

I guess this is really goodbye?

He-Man...

...Teela, Man-At-Arms.

Don't. Don't say goodbye.

Say, "Good journey. "

There's an old Eternian saying:

"Live the journey...

"... for every destination

is but a doorway to another. "

Good journey.

Good journey.

Take care, Julie.

- You look after her, now.

- I will.

Activate the Doorway, Gwildor.

Are you sure you don't want to go back

in your planet's history?

I could take you back in time

to the past or future.

No. Look, Gwildor, that's okay.

Just send us home.

We better get home, Gwildor.

- Good journey, Julie.

- Good journey, Gwildor.

Good journey!

Gwildor! Wait! Send us back-

Mom! Dad!

- You're up bright and early.

- You're all right!

What's this all about?

I love you both so much.

I don't ever want to lose you.

We're just going away for the day.

We'll be back tonight.

No!

I changed my mind. I really do want to go

to the beach with you today.

Don't go to Catalina, okay?

Don't be silly, honey.

Stay home and study.

Mom, Dad, please!

Don't get on that plane today.

I have a terrible feeling.

But Julie, your father's an excellent pilot.

It's a short trip.

No!

Julie! Julie!

- Put those keys back.

- I love you.

Julie, where are you going?

Come back here.

Julie!

Kevin!

- Don't let your parents get on that plane.

- I already stopped them.

Wait a minute.

You know?

We were there.

Eternia.

I have the power!

I'll be back.
