[edit] Summary

On his way to the village Nordling for a diplomatic meeting, Adam realizes he left an important scroll back at the palace. King Randor realizes this as well, and sends Sy-Klone to deliver it. Meanwhile, Skeletor catches Teela with his mechanical beast, Spydor. When Adam gets to Nordling, he discovers Spikor destroying it. The villain demands to see He-Man and Adam gladly fulfills that wish. Sy-Klone also arrives at the battlefield, but a mind-projection of Skeletor interrupts the fight: he teases He-Man to save Teela and leave the village to be destroyed.Instead of stumbling into that trap, Sy-Klone accepts Skeletor's 'invitation' while He-Man deals with Spikor. This villain gets the chance to present all his special features before he's knocked out. Sy-Klone uses Skeletor's surprise that he turned up (and not He-Man) to his advantage and rescues Teela. And even the scroll is still intact.

[edit] Notes

• Sy-Klone is called "Tornado" on the top of page 10, which was his prototype name.

• The village Nordling was named after Lee Nordling, who was the editor of minicomics for the Mattel run (1984-87)
