"What do you mean by that?" He-Man said. "This is Eternia, not the Dream realm."
"Yeah!" Orko added. "I'd hate to find out I'm dreaming right now."
Yuko smiled. "This is both Eternia and the Dream realm at the same time. Yuko explained to He-Man, Battlecat, and Orko about the three worlds.
"In the universe," Yuko began, "there are three areas, or realms. The first realm, the Dream realm, is composed of magic and good-natured beings."
"The second realm is the Dark realm. The dark realm is the source of all evil-natured beings. They are mostly magic as well, but there are groups that have technology as well."
"The final realm is the Earth realm. The Earth realm is composed only of humans, but has native inhabitants of both good and evil nature. They use technology all of the time. Magic is extremely scarce there."
Yuko stopped for a second. "I can safely call either the Earth realm or the Dream realm my home. I was born in the Dream realm, but I lived in the Earth realm for all of my life."
Yuko continued. "For the past year or two, the Dark Realm has tried to take over the Dream realm. If that happens, then the Dark realm will go after the Earth realm and defeat it easily."
"And these knights?" He-Man said. "Are they-?"
"...From the Dark realm?" Yuko finished. "Yes. But this area of the Drealm realm has never needed the Valis Soldier before. What has happened here to cause this?"
"I don't know," He-Man said. "But I know who can answer that." He hopped on Battle Cat and looked at Yuko. "Need a ride?"
"Sure," Yuko said as she hopped on Battle Cat. "Just where are we going?"
"To a place called Castle Grayskull," He-Man replied. "The person there, the Sorceress, can help us figure out what is going on."

"What?" Gares said to his shadow messanger. "The Valis Warrior is here?"
"Yes, my sire."
Gares unsheathed and held his sword. He felt the vibration from the handle, which meant that Yuko Ahso, the Valis Soldier, was indeed here. "So she is." He then pointed to the messager. A fire bolt came out of it, destroying him.
"Sure, kill the messager," Skeletor said as he entered the room.
Gares smiled. "And why not? The Valis Warrior is a huge thorn in the side of the Dark forces. Her being here is bad news, and I hae bad news."
"I know what you mean by a large thorn," Skeletor said with a nod. "I have one here called He-Man. If they team up..."
"He-Man?" Gares said. "Is he muscular, has a unique looking sword, rides a tiger.."
"Yes! Yes! That's him!" Skeletor paused for a moment. "Wait a minute! You don't mean..."
Gares nodded. "they have allied with each other." "That He-Man!" Skeletor shouted. "He ruins all of my plans! And he will ruin both of our plans if we don't hurry!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's overcome this 'Castle Grayskull' and make you powerful and the Dark realm triumphant at last."
