A Time To Leave

 is the 62nd episode of The New Adventures of He-Man.

The Galactic Guardians are searching for a suitable trainer for the impending battle with the mutants. At the same time they run into the shady Wolk. After going into training with the Wolk, that takes place in a maze, they walk into a deadly trap.

Plot Summary
Hydron, Flipshot and Kayo are practicing with their newly aquired weapons. Ambassador Bimo explains that on the way to the Games location on Rintor, they will stop on Necron where they will learn the ancient Myte fighting technique from Wolk.

The Evil Mutants have already learned about the Guardian's plans. Crita and Flogg prepare to have Wolk destroyed before the Guardians arrive, but Skeletor suggests that they can make better use of him.

At Levitan, Drissi is saying goodbye to the Guardians and Caz gives them thumbs up while the Scientists of Primus wave. Master Sebrian says that Primus cannot survive without the Guardians, even though Sagitar, Tuskador, Vizar, Nocturna and Spinwit are all staying behind.

On Necron, President Pell and Mara are approaching Wolk's Home. At first Wolk attacks the Myte Troopers for tresspassing in his forest, but soon he agrees to listen to Pell's proposal. He refuses to fight the Mutants, but will think about training the Guardians. Skeletor and Flogg have arrived at Velpine City, to the dismay of General Nifel, who has had more than enough of Mutants. Skeletor asks for directions to Wolk's home, where he soon appears before Wolk posing as "the Spirit of the Forest". But Wolk sees through his deception, and realizes Skeletor is trying to trick him like he did the Blacksmith of Crelus. Wolk reveals that he wants to get back at the Mytes for making fun of his large size all his life. He is willing to cooperate with Skeletor.

Wolk contacts Pell via Vision Phone and says that the Spirit of the Forest has told him to meet the Guardians at the Maze of Loom. They will meet there the next day, after the arrival of the Guardians. The Maze is located high on a mountain top, only reachable by foot. The Guardians are transported to the mountain in Pell's Flagship, then have to climb up the mountain. When Pell and the Guardians meet Wolk inside the maze, they also find General Nifel and a batallion of Gleanon Troopers. A fight breaks out. Wolk goes straight for He-Man. The Guardians are attacked by Gleanon Catapults. With both ends blocked off, He-Man breaks through a wall with his fist, then uses his magic sword to repair the hole after they escape through it.

Now they are lost in the maze and confonted by Flogg and Optikk, but make quick work of them. Wolk and Skeletor also get in on the action. He-Man lets his power short lead the way out with the power of the good and the way of the magic. But Crita is waiting to blast them with the Mutant Mothership as soon as they get out. Then the entire Myte airfleet, led by Mara in her Astrosub attacks the Mothership. He-Man and the Guardians exit the cave. But Crita decides to trap General Nifel inside the cave forever, so she can stay Queen of the Gleanons. However, the Gleanons find another way out of the maze despite Crita's best efforts.

Moral
Flipshot is polishing his Bolajet and He-Man compliments him on it. Flipshot throws a spraycan into an incinerator and although He-Man tries to stop him, it explodes. He then reminds his friend and the audience to always read the labels on cans and boxes.
