Story 1: "The Living Rocks"
He-Man and Man-At-Arms have been sent to the Shadow
Land, to investigate rumors of a fearsome creature stalking
the land. They are attacked by a gigantic monster, but
when they take refuge in a river, the creature follows
them by divinding into thousands of smaller creatures.
It reforms into one, and He-Man detects that it is made
from a kind of gem stone. He breaks the creature apart
with a vibrating sound from his sword, but then one
of the small creatures sends a mind signal to He-Man,
saying that they only attacked him because they were
under a spell by Skeletor to detract him from the Royal
City while he attacked it from a secret underground
base. They lead the heroes to the secret base, where
Skeletor is forcing the Mole-men to work for him. He-Man
frees them, and he and the mole-men fend off Skeletor's
droids, and Skeletor flees.
