After jumping from Evil-Lyn's cauldron, Teela and Adam travel through a cave to a mystic door. Behind the door, they find the Sword of Power embedded blade down in a stone. It is guarded by a crazed Battle Cat, who attacks the duo. After Teela is captured by Man-At-Arms, Adam reaches the sword while his back is mauled by the tiger. But once he draws the sword from the stone, He-Man returns, breaking the spell that hid the heroes' memories.
