At Castle Grayskull, Skeletor's Havoc staff buzzes with the the green energy, and it causes a reaction Krass' helmet as well. She's sitting by herself looking at her helmet, when she hears Skeletor calling her name. To which Krass says that Skeletor's voice is just a figment of her imagination. Skeletor then responds by asking Krass if a figment would know that Adam is standing right behind her. She is shocked to hear Adam calling out to her, and in the moment blows up at him, saying that maybe next time he should knock. Adam then tells Krass that his dad is almost here, and that Teela is just about ready to warp Grayskull away from Avion. Krass then asks what he needs her for any of that. Adam simply tells her that it is because she is one of the Masters of the Universe, and part of the Tiger tribe.

Later, King Randor eventually arrives at Castle Grayskull, and tells the Masters that it's so nice to see them all. He then goes onto say that the people of Eternia are very fortunately that it was Adam and all his friends who finally woke the |power of Grayskull and not Keldor. They then explain to the King how thanks to Eldress they were able to escape Skeletor's legion. Unfortunately, she didn't land with the rest of them, and they don't know her whereabouts. The Master than use their combined power to power up the castle, but while doing so, Skeletor tells Krass she needs to stop fighting her true nature.

In Eternia, the Masters ended up being greeted by a parade to celebrate their heroic deeds. Skeletor tells Krass that once this celebration is done, the will destroy the sigil. To which Krass replies that she will help them. However, Skeletor tries to entice her by reminding her that if they do that, then she won't be able to bring her parents back to life.

Elsewhere, Kronis mentions how on the bright side, King Randor upgraded the dungeons in the last ten years. Tri-Klops apparently says something rude to him, which has Kronis telling the machine to watch his mouth. Evelyn mentions that at least the machine can still use, as her is covered so as to prevent her from using her mouth to cast spells. R'Qazz for his part say that he prefers this imprisonment to the one Skeletor imposed on them. A Royal guard then comes by and explains that for their daily rations is smoked skunk on the menu for the day.

Meanwhile, King Randor officially introduces Adam to the people of Eternos as the long lost prince, and asks that they welcome him. The crowd cheer as Prince Adam and his father the King wave at them. As they're doing so, Adam asks him if he thinks the people have the right to know who the Masters are. To which Randor explains that'd be too dangerous, as it would put big targets on their backs. So he wants their lives to be easier now that he is finally home. Elsewhere in the Royal Palace, Duncan sits on the royal throne, and Cringers asks him how it feels. To which Dunca replies that it feels like greatness. This leads to Cringer saying he wants to sit on the throne next. Krass looks on in the distance, and Skeletor tells her her that his big brother Adam will ask them to stay. That it is obvious based on the royal clothes he is now wearing. Krass asks Adam where his old outfit is, to which Adam asks if she recalls how bad his clothes smelled. Teela, Cringer and Duncan agree, and go onto state that it smelled like poop. Randor explains that the color of the outfit Adam is now wearing him would suit him. But not only him, but the rest of his friends too. Adam then states that when they aren't moonlighting as the Masters of the Universe, they could also be members of the Royal Court. Skeletor taunts Krass by telling her that Adam will never go back to the pile of dirt and cats she calls home. He further taunts her by saying that he'd be shocked if any of them went back to Grayskull either.

Randor then shows Duncan what happened with Ork-O and the other RK Units. As well as the ensuing chaos that was Manny introduces his people from below, to the rest of Eternia. Duncan is dismayed that the Orkening happened and he wasn't here to see it. Eventually, Randor offers Teela the role of Royal Mage, which would entail her to oversee what will happened to the sigil. Whereas Duncan is offered the role of Royal Engineer, and Randor asks that should he accept, he will be responsible for enacting better security measures throughout Eternos. Duncan says he can definately work on that, but he does not want to get rid of the RK Units. Ork-O agrees as he states that they are no more or less alive than he is now. Adam suggests that they should just let them be themselves since The Plains of Ascension have plenty of room for them. Cringer for his part tells Krass that Adam has offered him the role of Royal Archivist.

Skeletor continues to taunt Krass by reminding her how Randor and Adam have offered everyone else reasons to stay except for her. Krass asks Skeletor why he just won't go away, to whcih he replies that the rock in her helmet is hewn from the very same proto-Havoc that bore the Snakes into this world. He then explains that all that remains of him is Havoc, so as long as the helmet is with her, he is along for the ride. Krass states that she will just get rid of it. But Skeletor tells her that he knows she won't do that because it's all she has left of her parents, unless she helps him reassemble the sigil. Krass fights back saying that her friends are her family now, and that's enough for her. That Adam is like a brother to her. Skeletor then tells Krass that if that is true, then she should tell him that Havoc has been a part of her for so long that the syrupy golden goodness of Grayskull will never be able to fully ignite her heart.

Krass is about to talk with Adam and reveal what has been going on with her, but instead ends up hiding as she overhears Adam's conversation with her father. Krass was going to be appointed Royal Emissary to the Wild Lands, but she bolted when she overheard Adam saying she shouldn't get it. Little did she know, he told his dad she should be a princess alongside him. Skeletor then used this as the fracturing point to make Krass the traitor.

Krass then steals the sigil pieces and Skeletor's staff, renouncing Adam as the brother who lived with her and the Tiger Tribe. After all, Skeletor gaslit her, making her think they didn't consider her family, playing on how she lost her mom and dad in the cave-in that only had her surviving due to the helmet. Krass reunited the pieces and was empowered by the snake the sigil formed, with Skeletor's essence alongside her.

Adam transformed into He-Man, clueless about Skeletor backing Krass, who was now dubbed Rampage, Master of Destruction. She battered He-Man with her rage exponentially increasing her powers, using the Wrecking Ball move that tied him down with Havoc Chains and dropped a ton of Havoc Balls on him.

The Hiss Army then rises up, attacking various parts of Eternia, including Krass' Tiger Tribe, shattering Adam's hope.

Eldress arrives outside Eternos, all thanks to the Wish Stone, in a cold location to prep for what she deemed "the final war."
