The Peril of Whispering Woods

She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am Adora,
He-Man's twin sister
and defender
of the Crystal Castle.
This is Spirit,
my beloved steed.
Fabulous secrets
were revealed to me
the day I held aloft my sword
and said
"For the honor of Grayskull!"
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Only a few others
share this secret.
Among them are Light Hope,
Madame Razz, and Kowl.
Together, we and my friends
of the Great Rebellion
strive to free Etheria
from the evil forces of Hordak.
She-Ra♪
She-Ra ♪
Tell Adora the goods
are in the fourth truck.
Hordak is coming.
See, Prince Zed.
The latest tax collection
from the peasants of Mandaville.
I see.
And it takes an army
of Horde troopers to protect it?
One cannot be too careful.
We are passing
near the Whispering Woods,
home of the so-called Rebels.
My father, Horde Prime,
has spoken of this rebellion.
He thinks you should have taken
care of the Rebels long ago.
Well, my prince,
they pose no real threat
to the power of the Horde.
Proceed!
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
She-Ra
She-Ra ♪
Up, Swift Wind!
Bow, Glimmer, the truck!
Thanks, fellas.
Anytime.
Look out for that tree!
Tell the tree
to look out for me.
Follow them!
Get them!
So the Rebels are no threat,
Uncle?
It's a destructo tank!
They've cut us off!
We can't go forward,
can't go back.
Where do we go?
This way.
Come on.
I'll clear a path for you.
Besides, it's harvest time.
I just don't know, old Mocky.
Those Hordesmen
took all my equipment.
I don't know how I'll cut
all this grain.
Well, I'll be.
Who's doing that?
We're going to make it.
Yes!
And She-Ra's cutting dead ends
to confuse the Horde trucks.
This is the first time
in 20 years
that my grain
has harvested itself.
My thanks to you.
Always happy to lend a hand.
These woods are enchanted.
The forest blocks your path
so the Rebels can get away.
Yes, curse them!
And curse the magic
that protects
this vile Whispering Woods.
Ah! At last!
Styrax, go inform Hordak!
At last, we have it!
Have what, Sire?
The way to put an end
to the Great Rebellion
once and for all!
Ah, behold,
the Poison of Kandahar!
The formula
is from this ancient book
which I have only recently
acquired.
How do you know it will work?
Watch!
These are plants
from the Whispering Woods.
Ah, they are protected
by the powerful magic
of the Rebels.
If we cannot take the Rebels
from the woods
We will take the woods
from the Rebels.
Those Hordesmen expect me
to pay their taxes in wheat,
and yet they took away
the tools I need to harvest it.
Thanks to She-Ra,
it's all been harvested.
The Horde will no longer
tax you unfairly, sir.
We will see to it.
Thank you.
Uh-hoo-hoo,
Madame Razz is coming!
Better duck!
Whoa!
Go straight, Broom! Straight!
No, no, left!
I meanah! I mean right!
Adora, there's
something awful happening
at the edge of Whispering Woods.
What is it?
Oh, deary, my, I don't know.
But it's terrible, awful!
You'll have to come quick.
I told you it was terrible.
Oh, this is from
no natural cause.
This is evil magic.
The Horde!
She-Ra ♪
See, this is Hordak's plan.
He poisons the forest
at the outer edges,
where the magic
of Whispering Woods is weakest.
He means to find
our hidden encampment
by tracing the magic
to its strongest center.
Th-then Hordak will kill
all of Whispering Woods!
Andand
destroy our homes!
That cough is getting worse,
Sprocker.
What is it, Spirit?
The forest seems to be in pain.
Oh, the Horde!
Oh, deary, my, in jetmobiles!
Cover your mouths and noses.
Don't breathe the spray.
Curse you, Hordak!
Oh, deary, my,
now, this looks like
very serious magic.
Oh, very serious indeed.
Razzle, dazzle, doozle day,
let this poison now go 'way!
Oh, dear. Oh, deary, my.
Oh, Madame Razz, your spell
has no effect on the poison?
No!
The only kind of spell
to counter such magic
is a transforming spell.
But in order
to transform something,
you first have to know
what it is.
Oh, deary, my, yes.
And this black poison
leaves no traces.
If I could just get a sample
Those
those darn Hordesmen!
What is it, Glimmer?
It's not enough that Hordak
had to destroy
the Whispering Woods.
Now he's trying
to hurt the Twiggets!
Show me.
I'mI'm sorry we got sick,
Adora.
Oh, Spritina,
it's not your fault.
They will get better,
won't they?
I-I don't know.
Maybe not.
The Twiggets are a part
of these woods,
and the woods are a part
of the Twiggets.
What do you mean?
As the Whispering Woods wither
from Hordak's poison,
so do the Twiggets.
We've got to find She-Ra.
It wouldn't make
any difference, Bow.
Neither we nor She-Ra
can do anything for them.
Finally we will be rid of those
Rebels once and for all!
Our raid tomorrow
should put an end
to the Whispering Woods forever!
Uncle, I should like to go
on the raid in the morning.
I think not, my prince.
Your father would not approve
of your risking your royal self.
I will not spend my entire
vacation here in your castle,
twiddling my thumbs.
Besides, you don't want
the Horde
or my father, Horde Prime
to think you're afraid
of those pitiful few Rebels,
even for my sake.
How are the defenses coming,
Bow?
We're all set.
Strike down the Rebels!
You know what you must do.
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
She-Ra, this time,
you've gone too far!
Trying to sneak up
from behind, Hordak?
She-Ra
She-Ra ♪
Hmm! At last, a worthy opponent.
This is Catra.
Break off the attack.
Retreat! Retreat!
You have done well, my friends.
Now let us go see about
those jets that we brought down.
There's one of them.
He's responsible
for poisoning our Twiggets.
We cannot harm
this boy.
But he's destroying
our Whispering Woods.
No! Do not return evil for evil.
But, She-Ra, we want to get even
with those rotten Hordesmen.
Glimmer, getting even means
you become like the Horde.
Is that what you want?
No, it's just that the Twiggets
are very sick,
maybe dying.
And it's his fault!
It may be the way of the Horde
to hurt those who are helpless,
but it is not the way
of the Great Rebellion,
and it would not help
the Twiggets
if we were to harm this boy.
Are you an angel?
No, I am She-Ra,
Princess of Power.
You are in the Rebel camp.
Oh, the Rebels were
were trying to hurt me.
You were attacking them.
They were defending themselves.
You're safe now.
Why did you take care of me?
I am your enemy.
When you fight me,
you are my enemy.
Now you are in need of help.
In the Fright Zone, we throw
our enemies into dungeons.
In the Whispering Woods,
we heal the injured.
Rest now.
She-Ra ♪
Try to drink this.
What's the matter with them?
It's that Horde poison.
They're sick
because Whispering Woods
is being destroyed.
In the Fright Zone, they would
put such creatures in cages.
Well, here, they're our friends.
You sure
there's nothing you can do?
Oh, deary, my, I've tried
every spell I can think of.
Then weand the Twiggets
are lost.
Whispering Woods
is almost all withered now.
One more attack
He insisted on seeing you.
I came to offer my help.
Help?
What can you do?
You're not Hordak.
No, but I am Prince Zed,
son of Horde Prime.
What?
I'm ashamed of the way
we have treated you.
I want to make up for it,
if I can.
You see, I have a plan.
You left him there!
The son of Horde Prime,
and you left him there!
The Rebels caught us
by surprise.
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Soon the Rebels will be no more,
and we can rescue Prince Zed.
Sire, a message from the Rebels.
They probably want to surrender.
Let me see it.
"Dear Uncle, this ring
will be proof of the message.
Stop poisoning Whispering Woods
at once,
or my father will hear
of your abandoning me in battle.
Your nephew, Prince Zed."
I am ready to bargain.
You know what you must do,
Uncle.
I will stop the destruction
of Whispering Woods.
And destroy that evil poison?
And destroy the poison.
How can we trust him?
We can't. And we're not.
Look!
Aha! I knew it!
Y-y-you know what the poison is?
No. But I know what it isn't.
Thank you for your kindness.
For now, we must be enemies.
I wish we were on the same side.
Perhaps someday.
Someday I will rule Horde World.
Then we will be.
I promise.
The Horde's leaving. Hurry!
Ah! Deary, my, I've got it!
The antidote for the poison.
Oh, now let's see
if I can transform it.
Prepare the attack!
No! I gave my word!
Oh, you gave your word
to the Rebels,
who will soon be no more!
My father will hear of this!
And he'll be glad to hear
about how you helped the Rebels
and how I ended the rebellion.
Commence your bombing runs!
Did you do it?
Oh, deary, my, I hope so.
I have my fingers crossed.
You want to watch
Whispering Woods die?
- What?
- Ha! Too bad, Uncle.
Watch Whispering Woods live.
The transforming spell worked.
Oh, thank you, Madame Razz.
Oh, deary, my.
Ah, it's just all so beautiful.
Hi, I'm Loo-Kee.
Did you find
where I was hiding today?
If not, take another look.
See me now?
Here I am.
You know,
if someone's nice to you,
don't you feel
like being nice back?
That's what She-Ra did,
and Prince Zed
was nice in return.
Always treat others the way
you want them to treat you.
Like She-Ra, that will work
for you too.
Bye, now! See you next time!
