[Skeletor] For so long, the truth has been hidden from me.
[Rampage] How did you do that?
Being the ghost that haunts these halls has its perks, I suppose.
Grayskull brought Havoc into the universe
using a ramstone just like the one in your helmet.
From the same cave and everything?
[Skeletor] Indeed.
And now I have become one with his true gift to Eternia.
Havoc!
Looks like I am the heir of Grayskull after all.
Or at least I will be.
But first things first.
[Rampage] Yes. First things first.
Bring my parents back.
You said all we needed was the Sigil.
So I'm waiting.
I said I would help you get them back.
I never said that the Sigil would be able to do it.
So the Snakes are just, what?
A bit of a twofer:
part distraction to keep your friends busy,
part workforce to find what you and I need to make our lives--

Andreenos and the Berserker Islands
are officially snake-free.
[Duncan] In that their dig sites were cleared out
and they were already gone before we got there.
Oh, also,
do not ask the Adreenids how they make their honey.
Because that-- [gags]
that can't be unknown.
Any luck getting back into Grayskull?
Locked up tight.
My sword can't even get us in.
On the plus side, it's been two weeks.
If Skeletor's ghost was able to use the castle to conquer Eternia,
he already would have.
He must need whoever his serpos have been digging for
to make his next move.
But who?
Are they living, or dead?
A hermit, or a mummy?
It isn't like the Snakes can talk.
Hey, have we considered--
and I'm just spitballing here--
calling Rampage and asking her?
[He-Man] No luck.
And we aren't calling her that.
She might not be Ram Ma'am anymore, but she's still Krass.
Got it?
Everything started with that cave she took Stratos to.
And the rock her dad found in it.
If I can learn more, maybe we can undo whatever's been done
and bring her back over to our side.
Do you really think it'll be that easy?
I have to.
[low thrumming]
That's an Ancient Eternian distress signal.
From before the Great War.
Leviathae.
[He-Man] Do we think the Snakes finally made their way down there?
If they did, the Mer-folk certainly wouldn't ask for our help.
We'll go check it out.
You and Cringer find that cave.
If nothing else, finding some way to get through to Krass
might mean learning what Skeletor's endgame is.
[Randor] Agreed.
We should stay together.
The Sigil re-zombifies those…zombies faster than we can beat them down.
And I don't wanna lose any more friends.
You won't.
Come on. We're Masters of the Universe.
What could happen?
Do brandish the badges, won't you?
You're representing the Court after all.

I've got a lot riding on you too, you know.
How long is this gonna take?
Finding the hidden tomb of arguably the most dangerous being--
aside for myself--to ever walk Eternia?
Oh, I guess there'd be some trial and error involved.
It is the tomb of King Grayskull, after all.
What do we need him for?
Rampage, Rampage, Rampage.
The true power of the Castle is that of creation itself.
But only under his command.
I use his remains to step back onto this mortal coil,
then bring your parents back.
Voila.
But then you have the power to do…anything.
I'm quite aware.
Promise me you'll keep your word.
Don't you trust me?
No. And if you betray me,
I'll destroy the stone in my helmet myself.
Then where will you be, huh?

I used to hang out with.
Ugh! This is taking too long.
R'Qazz should have been part of the hunt.
Patience, R'Qazz.
Kronis knows what he's doing.
Evelyn! Blast them!
You see?
Right on schedule.
[R'Qazz] Perhaps R'Qazz could hunt some of these serpos,
so that you might test your magic against their Lasher champions.
Don't touch a single snake, or I'll turn you into one.
Besides, they've no bones for you to keep.
Evelyn!
There's more to R'Qazz than collecting bones, you know.
You could try asking R'Qazz about himself sometime.
[Justine] Snake problem, huh?
We could always just-- I don't know--
head back to Eternos and let someone else handle this.
I'm sure He-Man and his friends could get them cleaned out lickety-split.
Then you fine folks can go back to your snake house,
and, well, then maybe I can--
Ugh! Justine,
I can't with your incessant want for freedom.
R'Qazz, why aren't her bones on your shoulders?
Because her shoulders keep the Tri-Klops off of R'Qazz's shoulders.
[Kronis] Evelyn!
Mm, fair point.
Wake up and get back to work.
Oh!
Oh, alrighty then. See you at the next recharge!

Evelyn, blast them!
Blast them now!

And covered with rocks like the one Krass's dad found.
They seem to be calcified growths from the pool below.
These are just like the one in Krass's helmet.
The raw Havoc within would explain how Skeletor's ghost
has been communicating with her.
But that could have been through any one of these.
The rock isn't special at all. None of them are.
Where's the temple with the hieroglyphs that tell us how to save her?
Or a statue with a hidden compartment,
or a map, or a switch, or--
One of the hardest things about becoming a king
