Story 1: "The Eyes of the Serpent, part 1"
King Hiss plans to recover the eyes of the serpent statue,
which both contain great magic and power. But he knows
he must stop the heroic warriors from discovering his
scheme, and so tries to use Skeletor to distract them.
He eavesdrops on Skeletor, and finds he is planning
to kidnap Orko. So King Hiss assumes his human disguise,
and goes to a small village pretending to be a heroic
warrior, and tells the villagers that Skeletor plans
to kidnap Orko. The villagers tell Man-At-Arms, who
tells Adam- and so Adam accompanies Orko on a walk.
Soon enough, Skeletor and his warriors emerge and try
to capture Orko. Out of sight, Adam turns to He-Man,
but just after he has defeated the evil warriors, the
Sorceress appears and warns him that one eye of the
serpent has just been stolen..... (cont'd in part 2)

Story 2: "The Eyes of the Serpent, part 2"
He-Man and the Sorceress gather Buzz-Off, Roboto and
Rio Blast at Grayskull. They set out to find the vault
of Azrad, where the second eye is, while He-Man and
the Sorceress set out to recover the first eye from
Snake Mountain. Rio, Roboto and Buzz-Off are overpowered
by King Hiss, who reaches the second eye. But when Hiss
reaches Snake Mounatin, before he can do anything with
the eye, He-Man and the Sorceress arrive on the scene,
and the Sorceress opens up a portal which transports
the eye to an unknown dimension. They go back to their
friends, who are just recovering, and vow to fight harder
now they realise how powerful King Hiss is.

Story 3: "Dread Dimension"
Skeletor is shouting at Beast Man, Evil-Lyn, Trap Jaw
and Merman for their constant failures. But Evil-Lyn
insists she has a new plan, to transport He-Man to a
dimension filled with beasts. Meanwhile, He-Man is helping
the Evoks build a dam, when the evil warriors show up
and distract him. As they run, Evil-Lyn opens a portal
to the Dread Dimension, they go inside, and He-Man follows
them into the dimension. But the evil warriors are attacked
by one of the beasts, and He-Man saves them, then they
realise that they, too, are trapped and so they must
work together with He-Man. Evil-Lyn waits for the right
moment to return (when the planets are in a particular
position), then opens up the portal. As they return
to Eternia, they attempt to strand He-Man in the dread
dimension, but h makes it through the portal just in
time. Back at Snake Mountain, Skeletor shouts at them
even more.
