Falling Stars was the second issue of Marvel Comics' Masters of the Universe ongoing comic series.
Synopsis[]
The Rogue Meteorbs arrive on Eternia.
While a Meteor storm looms over Eternia, Adam uses a new, high-powered Telescope created by Man-At-Arms to watch the display. Orko, over excited, crashes into the Laser Bolt, sending it out of control and activating its lasers. Adam and Man-At-Arms try and regain control of the Laser Bolt, but it fires out of the tower they are in, blasting of the meteors overhead.
As Adam and Orko rush to investigate the downed meteor, Skeletor watches it crash into the planet and plans to seize it for himself, hoping to use its power to vanquish Hordak and He-Man. Wasting no time, Skeletor mounts Panthor and rides to the Evergreen Forest to investigate.
Adam, Orko and Cringer find the meteors in the forest and discover that they are alive. The transforming-creatures claim to have tracked an enemy to Eternia and plan to take vengeance on them; the enemy they refer to is the fallen meteor which was hit by the Laser Bolt. The stone creatures attack Adam, who transforms into He-Man to fend them off. Skeletor arrives, watching from a safe distance as another meteor shower crashes out of the sky. The new arrivals are Stonedar and the Meterorb legion.
The rogue Meteorbs, lead by Gore-illa, retreat from Stonedar and his forces, and are approached by Skeletor, who suggests they form an alliance.
He-Man meets Stonedar.
Meanwhile, Stonedar explains to He-Man that he and the Meteorbs hail from the planet Granite, and that he is seeking his young friend, Rokkon, who is the meteor shot down by the Laser Bolt. He-Man offers the use of the Royal Palace's medical facilities to aid Rokkon. Stonedar, Rokkon and the Meteorb legion go on ahead to the palace, where they are seemingly attacked by the palace guard. Believing themselves betrayed, the Meteorbs fight back and a battle ensues.
In reality, Skeletor and the rogue Meteorbs are using an invisibility shield to make it appear as though the laser blasts firing at Stonedar and his forces are coming from the palace, when in fact, Skeletor is behind the attack. While Man-At-Arms and the Meteorbs continue to fight, Rokkon uses his radar eqipped armour to locate Skeletor, and he and Orko reveal them to the rest of the fighters below, unmasking Skeletor's deception. He-Man and Stonedar drive back Skeletor and Crocobite, and the Meteorb Legion allies with the Heroic Warriors.
