Synopsis[]
When a mighty, mysterious being named Sortech disables technology and machinery throughout all of Eternia, He-Man is forced to meet with him or risk leaving Eternia crippled forever. Meanwhile, King Randor and Battle Cat must scour the Corridors of Lithos for the stranded Queen Marlena, who is being hunted by Kobra Khan and Tung Lashor.
Summary[]
Moral[]
Man-At-Arms: "Sortech tried force to get He-Man to repair the Ergon, when all he really needed to do was ask. Family, friends and neighbors help each other in times of need."
(cut to a montage of He-Man, Man-At-Arms and Ram-Man helping village people)
Man-At-Arms: "Remember, it's a sign of strength, not weakness to ask for assistance. Until next time."
