As the story continues, Adam comes to find that Teela has grown cold and emotionless since the disappearance of He-Man while at camp awaiting their strike on Skeletor. Eventually, their opportunity comes, and they hijack an incoming supply truck. Once they arrive at the palace, they defeat the guards and come to find that Cringer has been "adopted" by Skeletor as his own pet, to spite Adam. Meanwhile, Ninjor destroys Adam's homing device, the only thing that would allow him to go home. In the following battle, Clamp Champ gets the Power Sword for Adam, and both Adams use it to transform into 2 He-Mans, while Cringer becomes Battle Cat. Skeletor curses himself for not recognizing Adam to be He-Man, and Teela uses the power of Grayskull to frighten all of Skeletor's minions away. As for Skeletor himself, Battle Cat saves the day when he takes the Havok Staff, allowing both He-Mans to defeat him. Grayskull collapses, and there is a ballad from Songster's "Ballads of Grayskull"

"For a timeless age the castle stood -- unbending power ... source of good!
Skeletor broke down the tower! Skeletor had stole the power!
For thirty years the evil reign -- until, at last, the champion!
Without friends' aid, alone this hour ... he had the will ... but not the power!
Until the castle, from deep within -- brought forth its power to aid him!
The only chance to save the land -- a hero's noble, final stand --
Power costs, and some might say ... it's only stone that passed away
Yet, who can say if a castle cried -- upon the night that Grayskull died!!"

They return to find that Eternia has been reclaimed by its people. Teela does away with the Sorceress outfit, since there is no use for it, and Adam and she embrace once more before he uses a prototype homing device to return to the past, never again to question his importance in defending Eternia.
