Evil-Lyn offers to sneak He-Man into Snake Mountain so they can use the crystal shard he is carrying to overthrow Skeletor. Of course, it is a trap, and He-Man is captured while Lyn prepares to join the shard with the Shakarran Crystal and obtain ultimate power. The shard has cast a spell on He-Man, however, and he battles free to try and get it back. While He-Man battles Lyn's forces, Skeletor steps in and grabs the shard of darkness for himself.
