who will become leader
of the Great Rebellion.
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra,
Princess of Power!
You may have defeated us,
but you'll never
see this child again.
No!
Adora!
A sword
Can it be?
After so long?
Aren't you done yet, Adam?
A work of art
like my famous spiced bread
takes time, Cringer.
I'd rather spend my time
eating than cooking.
AdamAdam
Adam, what's wrong?
Shh, the Sorceress
is speaking to me by telepathy.
You must come to
Castle Grayskull immediately.
It's very important.
I'll be there right away.
Well, if it's a gate,
where does it go to?
That, I cannot say.
This door
has never opened before.
And you want me
to pass through it
and find someone
in the world it leads to?
I would go myself,
but as you know,
I have no power
outside this castle.
But you can't tell me
who this person is, huh?
Hold out your hands.
This sword shall lead you
to the one you seek.
Why, except for this jewel,
this sword
looks exactly like mine.
And like yours,
it is meant for someone
with a very special destiny.
- But how
- Adam, please, ask no questions.
Until you find this one,
I can say nothing.
The very fate of the universe
may depend on your success.
Well, ready for an adventure,
Cringe?
An adventure?
I haven't even had lunch yet.
Enter the gate now, Prince Adam.
And good luck to you.
Well, here we are, Cringe.
Hey, nice place, huh?
It'd be nicer
if there was some food around.
I'm starving.
Hey, there's a village
over there.
Let's head for it.
The Laughing Swan Inn.
Well, sounds like a happy place.
Mmm, smells like one too.
Uh, hello.
You think he's a spy
for the Horde, Kowl?
Hoo-hoo!
It seems quite unlikely, though.
The only time
a Hordesman ever smiles
is when he's doing
something awful to someone.
Welcome to the Laughing Swan,
stranger.
How may we serve you today?
Uh, how about a little chow?
Uh, your animal, he, uh
he speaks?
Well, doesn't everybody?
Now, about that food
Make mine fish,
and plenty of it!
Oh, fish. Fish, it is.
Ooh, boy, fish!
Thank you.
Mm, I think
I'm gonna like it here, Adam.
On the other hand,
I want to go home!
I don't like the looks
of those three.
Do what I'm doing: Don't look.
Hordesmen!
Now, Bow, let's not be rash.
We don't want any trouble.
You, bard, keep on playing,
and make it good.
Yes, sir.
I don't like that song.
Mymy harp!
You miserable wretch!
What did you call me?
Teach the music-maker
a lesson, Marg.
Please, sir,
I-I meant no disrespect.
Do you know what I'm going
to do with you, music-maker?
You could try apologizing.
Hmm, a man of courage.
Hmph, stupidity, you mean.
You have a loose tongue,
citizen.
But you won't talk so loud
when you're chained to the oar
of a slave ship.
Hey, good thing
Teela taught me that move.
You, you're under arrest.
You're not making a slave
out of anyone today, Hordesmen.
So another troublemaker.
Let's get them both.
I knew this would happen.
Ooh, Adam's in trouble again.
Mind if I join you?
Surrender, citizen.
I'm not a citizen.
I'm a rebel.
- Thanks.
- My pleasure.
Now you're going to get it.
I'd say it's time to, uh,
pull the rug out
from under them.
- One
- Two
Three!
He-Man ♪
My name is Adam.
Mine's Bow.
Good to meet you, Adam.
I don't mean to be
an alarmist, Bow,
but when the Horde finds out
about this,
ooh, they're sure
to send a Force Squad after us.
You're right.
You better come with us, Adam.
They'll be after you too.
Where are we going?
Whispering Woods, of course.
From now on, my friend,
you are part
of the Great Rebellion.
Mighty Hordak,
I bring you bad news
from the kingdom of Bright Moon.
Speak.
Three of our troopers
were humiliated
in the village of Thaymor
by two men
who claim to be rebels.
We have a more pressing concern,
Hordak.
What do you mean, Shadow Weaver?
Well, my dark magics
have told me
that a stranger
from another world
has come to Etheria,
and he brings with him
the seed of great trouble
for the Horde.
Where is this stranger?
He was in the kingdom
of Bright Moon,
but my spells
can no longer find him.
Ah, Bright Moon!
Hordak, could he
have been responsible
for the defeat of our troopers?
You may be right, Catra.
Send Force Captain Adora
to me at once.
I have a plan
which will bring this stranger
into the open.
And then we will teach him
it's not nice to cause trouble
for the Evil Horde.
We should be there
any minute now.
Mm, thank goodness.
I'm pooped.
Halt in the name
of the Great Rebellion!
Yow!
Where'd you go?
Sprag, you ninny, it's us.
Hoo-hoo!
Ah, oh, Kowl, sorry.
I thought you might be
Hordesmen.
Who is that?
That's Sprag.
He's a Twigget.
They live
in the Whispering Woods.
Sprag, run ahead
and tell Glimmer
we're bringing in
some new recruits.
Yes, sir.
Sorry I scared you, pussy cat.
Pussy cat? Hmph!
This is it, Adam,
the main camp
of the Great Rebellion.
Hm, doesn't look so great to me.
Most perceptive of you,
friend Cringer.
It is, in fact, a very small
rebellion at present.
Come on, Adam.
I want you to meet our leader.
Glimmer, I'm back.
Bow, where have you been?
Ioh
Glimmer, this is Adam.
Pleased to meet you.
Adam helped me teach
some Horde troopers
a lesson in Thaymor.
Madame's coming!
Madame's coming!
Madame? Come on!
Oh, oh, left, Broom.
No, no, right!
One tree or two, Bow?
Make it three.
Over!
No, no, under, under.
No, around!
Oh, Broom
Three, it is.
Oh, dearie, my.
Oh, we must work
on these landings.
I agree.
Madame Razz, are you all right?
Oh, dearie, my, yes.
But there was something
important I had to tell you.
Now, what was that, again?
The village of Thaymor,
the Horde!
That's it!
The Horde has placed
the entire village of Thaymor
under arrest.
But why?
Three of their troopers
were trounced
by two men
they claimed are rebels.
Oops!
Taught some Hordesmen
a lesson, huh?
See what you've done?
The Horde demands
the culprits give themselves up,
otherwise they'll
send the whole village
to the mines as slaves.
They'd do it, too, those fiends!
Well, I can't ask you
to sacrifice yourself, Adam.
But maybe they'll be happy
with just me.
Hold on, there must be a way
to save the village
without giving in.
Oh, the Horde
has a Force Captain
and four of their worst villains
in the village.
Oh, I'm afraid
we're no match for them, no.
I have a friend
who might be of some help.
Well, if we're really
gonna be the Great Rebellion,
I guess we have to start
somewhere.
And we're with you, Glimmer.
We're not afraid of the Horde.
All right, then.
Let's save Thaymor.
It's a Horde slave transport,
and they're loading
the villagers into it.
Madame Razz will free them
while the rest of us
keep the Horde busy.
Sounds good to me.
What about that friend
of yours, Adam?
Oh, uh, he'll be ready
when the time comes.
Bow will give the signal
to move.
Now let's all get
to our positions.
And good luck!
Hmm, this is
just a waste of time.
Those rebels will never
give themselves up.
Mm, we should
destroy the village.
At least then we'd have some
fun-n-n-n-n-n.
She'd never let us do it.
Who cares about her?
She shouldn't
even be leading us.
Why, if she wasn't
Hordak's favorite
What was that, Leech?
Uh, nothing, Force Captain.
You four better be
on your guard.
These rebels seem bolder
than most.
Don't worry about us.
We're ready for anything.
Everyone's ready, Bow.
Time to give the signal.
I hope the spell
Madame put on this arrow works.
Uh, what's that?
For Bright Moon!
Attack!
My stun beams
will fix them-m-m-m-m.
Catra, oh, help me!
Oh, no!
Ha, missed me.
Help!
Hang on, Glimmer.
I'm coming.
Let her go, sucker-face.
Oh, not until
I drain enough energy
To make her helpless.
You're finished now, rebel.
By the power of Grayskull!
He-Man ♪
He-Man ♪
I have the power!
Well, that takes care
of the rebels.
You haven't won yet.
I suggest you let my friends go.
Who's that?
Another rebel, no doubt.
But my shocker rifle
will stop him.
Catra, Scorpia.
I'll stop you, muscle man.
That's not very ladylike.
Of course, you're not much
of a lady anyway.
Meow!
Help me!
Mm, Catra's in trouble, mm.
Forget her.
Stop him, Mantenna.
The beam's destroying
my sense of balance.
I can't stand.
Ha, my balance distorter ray
has fixed him-m-m-m-m.
Take this, bug-face!
A-a-a-a-a
Atchoo!
You take care
of the Force Captain, big guy.
I'll help our friends.
That's a deal.
Stand where you are, rebel.
No!
Stay away from me.
The fight is over, young lady.
What?
Why, you
You're the one I came to find.
Is that so?
You are mine now, stranger.
You and this curious sword.
