    Prince Adam transforms into He-Man to save Eternia from the evil designs of Skeletor in this brand new Masters of the Universe series.

    Part One of Three

    During the celebration to commemorate the arrival of Queen Mariena 25 years ago, Prince Adam finds his room full of demons and other creatures. He quickly transforms into He-Man but finds himself and Battle Cat in Castle Grayskull and in the presence of Skeletor. The Evil Lord has imprisoned the Sorceress and if He-Man does not find him the 3 Talismans and the two Power Swords, he will kill the Sorceress. He-Man has no choice to obey his enemy and luckily he knows where the Talisman of the Cosmos is hidden.

    Back at the Castle He-Man meets with Teela, for he needs to speak to Tarrak the Royal Wizard and possessor of the Cosmos Talisman, also called the Star Cluster. After getting permission from King Randor and Queen Mariena, He-Man and Teela go to Tarrak's chambers.

    In Tarrak chambers they find Tarrak being attacked by demons like the ones in Prince Adam's bedroom. With the help of Man-at-Arms, the heroes are able to chase away the demons, but they get away with the Talisman. After explaining his latest quest to find the Talismans to Teela, Man-at-Arms and Tarrak, they agree to help him.

    Meanwhile, Zodak looks through time and space and sees the success of He-Man's quest will affect the balance of the cosmos.

    Back on Eternia, in Avion, Stratos returns to his kingdom and is attacked by a group savage beast men. He is able to escape, but they give chase on their flying dragon mounts. Stratos is able to get to the Palace where he meets up with He-Man, who fights off the dragon riders.

    Once the battle is done, He-Man sees that Stratos has the Sky Talisman around his neck and learns that is quest has just begun.
