Gateway to Trouble

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♪

I'll never understand
why your brother has to appear
all the way out here
when he visits from Eternia.
Uh-oh, trouble.
I still don't see anyone.
Our spies said that rebels
were sighted here,
and we're going to search
until we find them.
We've got to get rid
of those troopers
before Adam gets here.
And that hollow tree
gives me an idea.
Come on, Kowl.
We'd better move fast.
Hello there, swamp slug.
Don't you call me a swamp slug.
You're right.
We mustn't insult
the swamp slugs.
All right, that's it.
You are now a prisoner
of the Horde.
Oh, you'll have to catch me
first.
You can't get away from me
in here.
Hey, I'm stuck!
Hey, rivet-head.
Only a coward
hides inside a tin can.
That does it. Come here.
Try to catch me.
Hey, II'm stuck!
All right, Adora,
they're all yours.
Thanks, Kowl.
But first
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
This will teach you to bother
peace-loving birds.
That was some bird.
At least we're safe.
Not yet.
We still have to explain
to Hordak
that a bird threw us
into the tar swamp.
Oh, no.
Adam, so good to see you again.
Glad we could make it.
So tell me, brother,
what's the problem?
Problem? I'm just here
to see my sister.
You and I don't spend
nearly as much time together
as we should.
The planet's name is Etheria.
Never heard of it.
Well, I have.
Very good, Tongue Lash.
Yes, that place has been
a thorn in my side for years.
With this gate-maker,
I will be able
to open a door to Etheria so big
that I can use it to send
the entire royal palace through,
getting rid of everyone
all at the same time!
But why Etheria?
A stupid question, Modulok.
To answer your stupid question,
Etheria is run by Hordak,
and I dislike him
almost as much as I do He-Man.
So why not send the royal family
to Hordak
and let him worry about them
for a change?
Yeah!
So there.
Move or lose it, long-lips.
There, it's ready.
Excellent.
Now let's test it.
Program the gate-maker
to open a small gate
to Etheria, for starters.
Next time, use your hand.
That is disgusting.
Now to check out
what's on the other side.
Is this, by chance, Etheria?
Sure, it is.
Iyow!
It works!
My machine works!
With this gate-maker,
I can move whole cities.
I can send an army
anywhere in the universe.
Even Hordak doesn't have
anything like this.
Hmm, then perhaps Hordak
would give me more for this
than Skeletor.
I've had it with you, Skeletor.
I am leaving
and taking the gate-maker
where it and I
would be appreciated
to Hordak.
You can't do this to me.
I'll get you for this!
Skeletor, look out!
The gate will close any second!
Ah, Etheria.
Now to find Hordak.
Now to find Modulok
and my gate-maker!
Which way would he have gone?
Skeletor!
Ooh! What's he doing here?
I don't know,
but I think He-Man
And She-Ra
Had better find out.
For the honor of Grayskull!
By the power of Grayskull!
He-Man ♪
He-Man ♪
I have the power!
I am She-Ra!
Hoo-hoo! Impressive, isn't it?
Aha, so Modulok went this way.
Not so fast, Skeletor.
He-Man, She-Ra!
But I can't let any of you
delay me.
Out of my way, now!
Here, She-Ra, a gift.
This power bolt
was made just for you.
Sword to handcuffs.
Drat!
Can'tmovemyarms!
Now, Skeletor,
why don't you tell us
what this is all about?
My assistant Modulok
stole my latest invention.
It can make a gate big enough
for an entire army
to come through
from one world to another.
He intends to give it to Hordak.
And then Hordak
can invade Eternia.
We've got to stop him.
But for that,
you'll need my help.
I know more about Modulok
and the gate-maker than you do.
Release me, and I'll tell you
what you need to know.
All right, Skeletor,
you've got a deal.
Come with us,
tell us what you know,
and we'll call a truce,
but just until
we get that machine back.
You mean, until I get it back.
And what do you want here?
I want to see Hordak.
Tell him I have something
for him,
something he'll find
very, very interesting.
So you're Skeletor.
Would you like some spoo?
It's very good.
No, I don't want any spoo.
I hate spoo!
I don't even know what spoo is.
Now go away!
I can't take much more of this.
Truce or no truce,
I'm getting out of here.
Besides, I've got to get
my machine
before She-Ra and He-Man do.
She-Ra ♪
According to what Skeletor said,
Modulok arrived
only minutes before we did.
If he hasn't made it
to the Fright Zone yet,
we might be able to catch up
with him right here.
All right, then let's get going.
I'll tell Skeletor.
He-Man, She-Ra!
Skeletorhe's gone!
So much for the truce.
Which means we now
have to stop Modulok, Hordak,
and Skeletor.
Now, tell me
what you want here.
I come from Eternia,
great Hordak,
where I once worked for someone
who used to be in your service
Skeletor.
Skeletor!
I hate that bone-faced
bog-waddler.
If I ever get my hands on him,
I'llI'lldo this!
Oh, no!
II dislike Skeletor too,
oh, great Hordak,
which is why I have come here
to join your army.
And I have brought with me
a gift,
an invention
which will create an opening
between here and Eternia
so large that you can send
an entire fleet of ships
through it
to invade and conquer Eternia.
To conquer Eternia!
Now, that would be fun.
You have done well, Modulok.
You may consider yourself
now part of the Horde.
I am honored, Hordak.
There's just one thing.
Skeletor might have followed me
to Etheria
before the gate closed.
Skeletor on Etheria?
Excellent.
I can invade Eternia
and take my revenge on Skeletor
all at the same time.
She-Ra ♪
Let's see now.
Which way to find Modulok?
Give it up, Skeletor.
You couldn't find your own face
on a sunny day.
Hordak,
you oversized rust bucket.
Friendly as ever, eh, bone-head?
Say, you aren't, by any chance,
looking for something, are you?
You know what I want
the gate-maker.
Give it back to me, or else!
Do not threaten me, Skeletor.
You can do nothing.
I have the gate-maker now.
With it, I shall
invade Eternia at last.
No, no,
you can't invade Eternia.
It's mine! Do you hear? Mine!
Missed again.
You'll never get me
with that puny Havok Staff.
I wasn't even
trying to hit you, Hordak.
Just get you under that catwalk
so I can do this.
These cableswon't stop me.
No, but they will keep you
Tied up, while I say good-bye.
Blast you, Skeletor!
That does it.
Prepare the gate-maker.
I will call up Shadow Weaver
and the tanks
to prevent further interference.
We invade Eternia now!
The power line is connected,
Master Hordak.
We can begin at any time.
Excellent.
Hordak to Horde Fleet.
Are you in position?
All is in readiness,
Master Hordak.
We await only the gate.
Then you shall wait no longer.
Now, Modulok!
We see the gate.
We're going through.
Next stop, Eternia.
Finally, the invasion of Eternia
is close at hand.
Sorry, Hordak.
Close, but not close enough.
You're too late.
My fleet is already
on its way into the gate.
And my robot tanks
will see to it
you don't come any closer.
We'll see about that, Hordak.
I've got it!
I don't believe it.
That was fun.
Let's do it again sometime.
Sword to lasso.
Hmm, He-Man and She-Ra
against Hordak.
I'm just in time.
I could help them.
I could work with them
instead of against them.
We could defeat Hordak together.
Mm, I think I'll wait
and see who wins instead.
Looks like you've just about
run out of rope, Hordak.
Not yet, She-Ra.
See where now the power hums.
In place of this, a giant comes.
Excellent.
She tapped the electricity
to create an Electroid.
That should take care
of those troublemakers.
But, Hordak, what of the strain
on the gate-maker?
Oh, don't bother me
with details.
Horde pilot, enter the gate
quickly!
Yes, Hordak,
we're almost there.
He-Man, listen,
let it capture you.
What?
Remember,
this thing isn't really alive.
It's just electricity following
Shadow Weaver's orders.
And electricity has two poles,
positive and negative.
And if we put
our swords together
They short-circuit.
And quite a bang.
That did it.
The power surge,
it short-circuited
the gate-maker.
Fleet, pull back!
The gate is out of control.
We can't control
where you'll come out.
Too late!
Where did the fleet go?
Well, they could be anywhere,
even on the other side
of the galaxy.
Without the gate-maker
Oh, so it's destroyed.
So what?
We'll make another.
We can't.
It used rare minerals.
It was one of a kind.
We can't.
We can't?
In that case, you are no longer
an official Horde scientist.
You are Horde cook
until I say otherwise.
Now I'm getting out of here.
You know, sometimes
it just doesn't pay to be evil.
Prepare yourselves.
I am opening the way
back to Eternia.
All right, Sorceress.
So much for
your quiet little visit.
Well, there's always next time.
Well, there's the gate.
Guess I'd better go.
Then go!
Well, I guess now you expect
a ride back to Eternia,
eh, Skeletor?
And accept a favor from you?
Ha, I'd rather walk.
Suit yourself.
Come on, Cat.
That's it, go!
I don't need your gate.
I'll make my ownin time.
Get him.
Hordak promised much
to the trooper
who catches Skeletor.
On second thought,
since the gate's already here
Wait for me!
She-Ra!
Our orders didn't include
trying to capture She-Ra,
so I think
we'd better leave too.
Right.
And I didn't even
have to lift a finger.
Speaking of leaving,
I wonder where that Horde Fleet
wound up.
Guess I won't know
until they find their way back,
in a couple of years.
Meanwhile, who knows?
Maybe they'll make
some nice friends.
You know,
somehow I get the feeling
that this isn't Eternia.
Hi, it's me again, Loo-Kee.
Did you find me today?
If not, look again.
See me now? Here I am.
Today's story was about
a gateway to trouble.
And when Modulok went through,
he did find trouble
on the other side.
Getting into trouble is easy,
but getting out is harder.
Next time you think
you're at a gateway to trouble,
stop, don't go in.
Bye, now.
