The Most Dangerous Man in Eternia

The Most Dangerous Man in Eternia is the third episode of the animated television series Masters of the Universe: Revelation. It was released July 23, 2021.

Synopsis
While defending a village from Tri-Klops’s cult, Teela’s group meets Man-At-Arms, who is struggling to keep Orko alive using the town’s magic water.

Plot
Teela, Andra and Evil-Lyn are cleaving their way through a dense vine jungle. Along the way Teela recounts a previous battle against Skeletor aboard the Sea Eagle in the Crystal Sea, when she and He-Man were saved by Man-At-Arms.

On the other end of the forest, poor pilgrims are lining up to catch a few drops of water from one of the last remaining magic fountains. An old man stubles and falls, but Duncan, the former Man-At-Arms, lends him a hand. Suddenly Tri-Klops and the followers of Motherboard arrive. From atop a Roton, Tri-Klops orders the 'heretics' to be sacrificed. Trap Jaw arrives driving another vehicle with a giant crystal powered cannon, which he uses to destroy the fountain.

Duncan leaps into action to protect the people from the Motherboard cyborgs, all the while making sure that his own supply of magic water does not get wasted. Andra shuts down Trap-Jaw's cannon and Teela and Evil-Lyn join the battle. But all of them are soon tied up in electronic cords portruding from the cyborg's arms. Tri-Klops tells Evil-Lyn it's time to merge with Motherboard, but a feral looking Beast Man comes to their rescue. Beast Man has sworn his loyalty to Evil-Lyn and single handedly defeats Tri-Klops and sends him on his way.

Teela is surprised when the one pilgrim who fought back turns out to be her adoptive father. Although glad to see her again, he refuses to help forge the two halves of the Sword of Power, reminding them that he is forbidden to weld anything by Royal decree. He then reveals that the enchanged water he collected is not for himself, but for a sick friend he is looking after in his wooden cabin: Orko. Also present is Roboto, who, having been created by Duncan, sees himself as a brother of sorts to Teela. Duncan refuses to join Teela's quest, but Orko begs to be allowed to join them on one last adventure. Roboto, posessing all of his creator's memories, offers his services, and unlike Duncan, is willing to reforge the sword. When Duncan picks up his old helmet (which he had been using as a fruit bowl) and says he'll follow allong, Teela changes her mind. With Roboto to do the forging, Man-At-Arms could better spend his time protecting the Sorceress at Castle Grayskull.

The Warriors cross the Crystal Sea on their way to Subternia. They find their sea vessel under attack by Aquaticans led by a battered looking Mer-Man. Once again, Man-At-Arms arrives in the nick of time to save the day. After defeating Mer-Man and his minions, he and Evil-Lyn force Mer-Man to reveal the gate to Subternia. Mer-Man is freed and Man-At-Arms departs again to go to Grayskull as promised. He warns Teela to get in and out of Subternia as fast as they can, for "nothing lives long in the land of the dead."

The gate appears to be 'guarded' by a headless skeleton. Evil-Lyn takes the top of Skeletor's Havoc Staff from her satchel and places it on the skeleton's shoulders. The gate opens, revealing a hole in the ground with a long winding staircase leading downwards. Teela tells her companions that only she needs to go down, but they all insists in joining her.
