The Stone in the Sword

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 ♪
Oh, I just love the smell
of a brand-new weapon.
What do you call it?
The Doom Balloon.
I can't wait to try it out
on the rebels.
I'd give anything to see
the looks on their faces
when they see it in action.
Yeah!
Very well.
Your wish is granted.
You may join me in battle.
Uh, thanks, I'llbut I
I'd better stay behind.
Someone's got to polish
the prison bars
and sweep up the
What?
You mean you don't want
to come with me?
Oh, of course I do,
mighty Hordak,
more thanthan
anything.
You clumsy clot!
You almost broke
my good luck charm.
Oh, forgive me,
your supreme nastiness.
Hordak, I bring you good news.
My dark magic tells me
that a powerful storm
will strike tonight.
This is the night
you've been waiting for.
Lightning will streak the skies
with the fires of destruction.
Good.
It is time.
Prepare the Doom Balloon.
Tonight we will destroy
Whispering Woods.
Now look what you've
made me do.
Oh, I'm sorry,
your high and mightiness.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, please,
great maestro.
Not that.
Oh, have mercy, oh.
It's my vacuum cleaner
attachment,
you pea brain.
You sure scared me.
For a moment there, I was afraid
you were going to
Do this!
She-Ra ♪
Some of the Twiggets
saw Hordak
testing a new flying weapon
near Whispering Woods.
Let him try.
With the trees protecting us,
he'll never find our camp.
Still, we'd better
take this seriously.
You never know what Hordak
has up his sleeve.
Uh, there you are.
I've been looking all over
for you.
Guess what I've got.
Why, it's pollen from a
Giggleberry bush.
It makes you laugh.
Not now, Sprocker.
We have serious matters
to discuss.
Right.
Hordak is going to
Going to
Going to attack
Whispering Woods.
He's got a
Terrible new weapon.
Oh, thatthat's
that's awful.
Come on, we'd better
tell the others the bad news.
We must hurry, Hordak,
and strike while the skies
are angry.
The destruction
of Whispering Woods
begins with the throwing
of a single lever.
Up, up, and away
in my wicked Doom Balloon.
She-Ra ♪
Well, at least Hordak
would never attack
in a storm like this.
Beautiful, isn't it?
It looks so close,
I could reach out and touch it.
Adora!
Bow!
Come quickly.
Hordak is attacking.
Good, good.
My Doom Balloon
attracts the lightning,
focuses it,
and shoots it out at my target.
Isn't Horde science wonderful?
It blows your socks off.
At this rate, I should have
Whispering Woods
totally destroyed
faster than you can say,
"Horrible Hordak headed a herd
of hideous Hordesmen!"
Horrible Hordak herded a head
hootedhootedhood
a hoot
Silence, you twit!
He's burning down the trees.
How do you fight a thing
like that?
You don't.
Youyouyou run from it.
Not me!
Glimmer, come back.
Thank you.
In this case,
it is better to give
than receive,
so I'll send your stun beam
right back to you.
Glimmer.
Where there's fire,
there should be smoke.
Have some on me.
I can't see.
II can't see!
Of course you can't,
you bumbling boob!
We've been hit
with a smoke arrow.
That should cover our escape.
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Hordak zapped me
with my own power.
Don't worry, you're safe.
Now can we run away?
We've got to stop him somehow.
Look!
It's She-Ra.
Come on, Hordak.
Now try picking on somebody
your own size!
This should curl your hair
for you!
She's overloading the circuits.
It's going to blow!
My Doom Balloon is doomed!
She-Ra!
We may have lost the balloon,
but we haven't lost the battle.
Bow, look out!
Bow!
She-Ra?
She-Ra!
Adora!
Why aren't you She-Ra?
The blast must have
changed me back.
Did I stop Hordak?
Youyou destroyed his machine,
but he captured Bow.
Oh, no.
I think we'll need She-Ra
to ride to the rescue.
For the honor of Grayskull!
For the honor of Grayskull!
What's wrong?
I'm not changing.
Oh, no!
Adora, look at the stone
in the sword.
It's cracked.
Then I can never
become She-Ra again.
Without this stone,
my sword has no powers.
I can't become She-Ra.
We'd better go see Light Hope.
But you need Swift Wind
to fly you to the top
of Skydancer Mountain.
I'll climb.
No one can climb Skydancer.
Watch me!
And what if you do make it
to the top?
Without your sword's power,
you can't get
into the Crystal Castle.
I'll worry about that
when I get there.
And stop being so negative.
Right now,
Bow is probably locked up
in some horrible Horde cell.
Whoa!
He's depending on us.
If you should fall,
I'll keep you company
all the way down.
She-Ra ♪
If I ever get out of here,
you'll be sorry.
Oh, calm yourself,
my pretty little pet.
This cage will be your new home.
For a long, long time.
Well, I guess
we have to turn back now.
You'd have to climb upside down
to get past that.
Then that's just what I'll do.
That should do the trick.
Whoa!
Adora.
I'm all right
for now.
No use hanging around here.
My sword!
Oh, thank you, Kowl.
You saved the day.
What are friends for?
Come on.
Let's try and get
into the castle.
I summon thee, Light Hope,
to open the gates
of the Crystal Castle.
You who seek the powers
and wisdom of Light Hope, enter.
Light Hope,
I have come to
I know why you have come.
You must seek the help
of the First Ones.
They are the living spirits
of the founders of Etheria.
Only they can restore
your powers.
Where will I find them?
You must seek
the First Ones'
underground kingdom.
To get there,
you must overcome
many obstacles.
You begin your quest
by entering
the Jaws of Darkness.
Uh, I've really got to be going.
You're not afraid,
are you, Kowl?
Afraid?
Oh, no.
I'm terrified.
These stairs
are your first challenge
and will lead you
into the Etherian underworld.
It looks easy enough.
Looks can be deceiving.
Look above you.
Come on, Kowl.
We don't have much time.
This is just what I need.
Hop onto my shoulder, Kowl.
We're going for a ride.
Why me?
Hang on tight.
Here we go!
Adora.
We've got company.
We've got to go faster.
Crouch down so we can pick up
more speed.
Oh, I wish
we'd reach the bottom.
I'm getting dizzy.
Hang in there.
We'll be stopping soon.
How soon?
As soon as we hit that wall
up ahead.
Oh, no.
Lean to the side!
I'm glad that's over.
It's not over yet!
It's a cave-in.
Follow me!
In here, quick.
Oh, that was a close one.
Oh, now what do we do?
You face the challenge
of the never-ending maze
and find the Rainbow Grotto.
There, in the forbidden corner,
you will find
the Cavern of Fire.
I must leave you now.
Farewell, Light Hope,
and thank you.
Let's find our way out
of this maze.
Don't you ever give up,
rebel?
Never.
It takes more than prison bars
to hold me.
Well, those bars are made
from pure Marellian skrak,
the strongest metal
in the galaxy.
I'll get out.
You'll see.
She-Ra ♪
We've been in here
for a long time,
and we're still lost.
Well find our way out.
Look!
There's the forbidden corner.
Be careful, Kowl.
I've got a feeling
that this won't be easy.
That is a bit
of an understatement.
Well done, Adora.
You have reached
the Cavern of Fire,
the home of the First Ones.
You must enter alone.
You can't go in there,
Adora.
It would be like walking
into an oven.
I've come this far.
I'll go.
You make me proud.
Welcome, Adora.
We are the First Ones.
You have come far
to seek our help
in returning you to She-Ra.
You were brave
to climb Skydancer.
You were wise to use the shield
to outrun the spiked ball.
You were swift
in escaping the cave-in,
agile in avoiding
the falling rocks
of the forbidden corner,
and brave to risk entering
the Cavern of Fire,
and you did all this
for a friend.
Are these not the qualities
of She-Ra?
Try your sword, Adora.
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Face it, rebel.
No one escapes from here.
Then my friends will get me out.
Even She-Ra couldn't break
through the force field
that surrounds
Fright Zone Prison!
Your backflip was terrific,
but your landings need work.
She-Ra!
Get her, Grizzlor!
Troopers, attack!
Hello, boys.
Ooh, don't fall
all over yourselves
getting to me.
Is this how you get girls
to fall for you, Hordak?
Funny joke!
But this time I'm going to have
the last laugh.
You certainly are.
Have some Giggleberry powder.
It's time for me to get you
out of there.
Thanks, She-Ra.
You are a real friend.
What are friends for?
Come on, Bow,
let's get out of here.
See you around, tin man.
I'll say one thing
for you, Hordak,
you sure are a happy loser.
I'llI'llI'll get you
for this!
I'll get you for this!
Hi! Did you find
where I was hiding today?
If not, here's another chance.
See me now?
Here I am.
Today, let's talk about
sticktoitiveness.
Wow, that's a big word.
But it simply means
doing what Adora did today:
sticking to a job
until the job is done.
When you have a job
like your homework,
use sticktoitiveness.
Stick to it
until the job is done.
