[edit] Summary

Skeletor sends two Orcs to get the Masks of Power from an ancient ruin for him. But the tiny creatures wear the masks just to try them out and are changed to huge mighty monsters by them. Possessed by the masks, they begin searching for the Sword of the Ancients, which they sense are deep beneath Snake Mountain. They imprison the Lord of Destruction within his own dominion. He-Man and Fisto follow. They can't free Skeletor but he commands Mer-Man to show the heroic warriors the way through the maze. With his help, the good guys even manage to dive through an underwater passage. Finally they find the Sword of the Ancients buried in a quartz rock. The monsters weren't able to remove it. But it's no problem for He-Man! He uses the Sword of the Ancients to destroy the masks - the creatures change back to ordinary Orcs. Skeletor offers He-Man to rule Eternia together, but He-Man declines. He drops the Sword of the Ancients in the Mystic Mountains and it's swallowed by the ground.

[edit] Notes

  • The Sword of the Ancients is identical to He-Man's sword. Likely, this was made for the children could play the story depicted in the comic using the same sword. He-Man's "real" sword appears only briefly, during the transformation scene (something common in the Alfredo Alcala-drawn minicomics).
  • Battle Cat appears in his powerful form even when He-Man is Prince Adam. Later minicomics show Battle Cat as Cringer.
