The Unicorn King

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 ♪
Well, what do you see, Mantenna?
Mmm, water.
Mmm, lots of water.
Of course there's water,
floppy-eyes.
We're in the Growling Sea.
Find something else.
I didn't name my new boat
the Sea Fright
just to go fun-sailing with you.
Yes, great Hordak.
I am looking. I am looking.
I want to rule the lands
and the seas of Etheria.
Oh, yes, great one.
Mmm, Hordak, an island!
Put it on the screen
so that I can see it.
Hmm, doesn't look like much.
Mmm, what's that?
A unicorn!
That must be Unicorn Island.
I always thought
it was just a story,
but it's real!
Oh, are we going to sink it?
Sink an island?
No, you fool!
We'll capture it
and make it a Horde base,
and we'll make slaves
of the unicorns.
Mmm, that sounds good.
So how do we do that?
What's your plan?
My plan?
Uh, well
You do have a plan, don't you?
Of course I have a plan,
you nincompoop.
You are going to take
the capture bots
and test the island's defenses.
Me?
You.
And use the freeze rays
to capture as many unicorns
as you can.
Don't you like my plan?
Oh, yes, mighty Hordak.
Or would you rather stay here
and arm wrestle with me?
Gosh, it's nice to have
a few hours off duty.
And it's such a beautiful day.
Good flying weather.
You're right.
Let's take a short flight
just for fun.
For the honor of Grayskull!
She-Ra, She-Ra ♪
I am She-Ra!
Come on, Swifty, let's go.
Wait, something is wrong.
- What is it?
- I don't know.
I've never felt this way before.
It started just now
when I changed to a unicorn.
There's great danger.
To whom?
I don't know.
Do you think
Light Hope might know?
If anyone does,
it would be Light Hope.
To the Crystal Castle, Swifty.
Welcome, She-Ra,
Princess of Power,
and you, Swift Wind.
I've been expecting you.
Then you know why we're here,
Light Hope?
Yes.
Swift Wind has sensed danger,
and danger there is.
Hordak is threatening
the unicorns
on Unicorn Island.
How did he find it?
I thought its location
was secret.
Hordak found it
quite by accident
while testing
a new Horde invention
in the Growling Sea.
That means trouble
for the unicorns.
You must find the Unicorn King
and win his trust.
It won't be easy.
He does not trust humans.
I'll do my best.
Oh, magnificent Hordak,
our bots have captured another.
Good, good.
Everything is working fine.
Oh, nothing could go wrong now.
Don't count your
unicorns
before they're captured.
She-Ra, no!
She-Ra, yes!
Get her, you bug-brain!
Right.
My freeze ray will stop you.
Maybe those unicorns
would like to join the fun.
Come on, Swifty.
Mmm, she's freed
all the unicorns.
Hordak isn't going to like this.
And neither will you
when you get back.
That's not nice.
That takes care
of most of Hordak's toys.
But not all.
Behind you, Swifty.
One down, two to go.
They just don't make
Horde robots like they used to.
They fall apart so easily.
Mantenna, bring what's
left of my capture bots
and get back here immediately.
She-Ra ♪
Three capture bots?
Only three capture bots left?
And no captured unicorns
to show for it?
It was She-Ra's fault.
I see.
It's She-Ra's fault
that you're a fool?
YesI mean, no,
it's my fault
I mean, that is, I mean, no
Quiet.
I need time to think,
and I want you
to stand there and be quiet.
Mmm, I'll just stand right here
and not say a word.
Good.
I like this boat.
It has all the comforts
of the Fright Zone.
Where is everyone?
They must be
in the woods up there.
Stay where you are.
The king.
Your highness,
are the unicorns safe?
Yes, none were harmed.
Who are you?
I'm She-Ra,
and this is my friend
Swift Wind.
Why have you brought this human
to our island, Swift Wind?
We came to help.
Those machines belong to Hordak.
He's trying to make slaves
of all Etherians,
not just unicorns.
Please believe us.
How can I believe a human
and the unicorn slave
of a human?
Me?
I'm not a slave to anybody.
Yet a human rides on your back.
Humans will never force me
to carry them.
I don't force Swift Wind
to do anything.
Swifty helps me
as a friend.
Perhaps you should meet
one of my friends.
Yes, my king?
This is Bright Wing.
Bright Wing was the last unicorn
to trust a human.
And see how that trust
was repaid.
What happened?
Bright Wing was captured
by a human
who used magic to keep my friend
from escaping.
See what that magic
did to the wings?
We rescued my friend,
but Bright Wing cannot fly.
Your highness, we must be going.
Wait, we want to help you
stop Hordak, please.
We don't wish to fight anybody.
We are peaceful beings
who ask only to be left alone.
But this is your home.
Yes, and we love our island.
But if the choice is leaving
or being made slaves of Hordak,
we will leave.
Our life here is over.
But you can't give up.
If you let us help,
maybe together
we can save your island.
No, I can't trust any human.
We must leave here.
Yes, mighty Hordak?
I have a job for you, Mantenna.
Oh, yes, great Hordak.
What is it?
It's very simple.
Get She-Ra and Swift Wind
to chase you.
What?
Just fly over the island
and shoot a freeze ray
at She-Ra.
Knowing you,
I'm sure you'll miss,
but She-Ra will go after you.
While she's chasing you,
I'll put a force field
around the island.
She-Ra won't be able to get in,
and the unicorns won't be able
to get out.
Clever, eh?
We must leave our home now.
How will Bright Wing
leave the island without wings?
We will carry Bright Wing.
We can't change your mind
to stay and defend your home?
No.
Then we'll respect your wishes
and leave.
But before we do,
I'd like to try
and help your friend.
He can't be helped.
Let me try, please.
Well,
I'll leave it to Bright Wing.
I, too, find it hard
to trust humans,
but if there's any chance
- Please let me.
- All right.
But I warn you,
I will be watching.
I can fly.
I can fly!
Thank you, She-Ra, thank you.
My pleasure.
I suppose you expect payment.
No.
Then why did you do that?
Because I hate to see
anything in pain.
We'll go now.
No, wait.
Twice today you've helped us.
Isn't there anything you want?
Well, there is one thing.
I thought so.
Well, what is it?
Your trust.
Let me help you
keep your home and your freedom.
Unicorn Island is our home.
It would be wrong
to give it up to Hordak.
You're willing to help us.
I should be willing
to trust you.
Thank you.
You won't be sorry, I hope.
Look out!
Mantenna!
Come on, Swifty.
Maybe he can tell us
what Hordak is up to.
Good, good.
She's gone.
Now to pay a visit
to my unicorn friends.
Your highness, what's that?
Bright Wing, sound the alert.
Just a little faster, Swifty,
and we've got him.
The Horde hasn't built
a machine yet
that I can't out-fly.
Mmm, why do I get
into things like this?
I know why.
Because I am terrified
of Hordak.
That's close enough, Swifty.
Sword to lasso.
It's not my fault.
Hordak made me do it.
Do it? Do what?
He'll send me to the mines
if I tell you.
I may send you farther
if you don't.
He told me to keep you busy
while he landed on the island
and put up a force field.
We have to get back
to the island immediately.
And now to launch
my force field generator.
A force field.
We're trapped.
This is Hordak.
You are prisoners of the Horde.
But don't worry.
You'll like your new home.
There, you will have the honor
of being my slaves.
We're too late.
Mmm, now I've got you.
Hmm, if I can't go through
that force field,
maybe I can go under it.
You take care of things here.
I'm going swimming.
Right, I'll make sure Mantenna
stays out of trouble.
Here I go.
Now to get out
and see my new conquest.
You there,
gather all your fellow unicorns
and line them up.
And I thought She-Ra
was going to help us.
Sorry to be late,
but I was temporarily held up
by a force field.
She-Ra, this just means
you're now my prisoner too.
My freeze ray will cool you off.
Sword to shield.
I think you need this freeze ray
more than I do.
You're so full of hot air.
Laugh if you want,
but my force field
has your friends my prisoners.
And as soon as I get back
to my Sea Fright,
I'll take care of you.
Should we go after him?
Not yet.
We have to take care
of that force field
generator first.
But without Swift Wind,
I can't reach it.
I never thought I'd say this
to a human, She-Ra,
but I'd be honored if you'd
accept a ride from me.
The honor's mine.
I think we'll make
a great team.
Bah!
I've had it
with She-Ra interfering.
Force field defense system,
activate.
There it is,
the force field generator.
The generator's spinning
as fast as a tornado.
Can we get any closer?
The force field is too strong.
I can't get through it.
I've got an idea.
Can you fly over it?
Here goes.
Here's where I jump off.
Pick me up down below.
What?
Did you say jump off?
Just for a moment, I hope.
See you down there.
She-Ra, wait!
She-Ra!
Never do that again.
What made you so sure
I could catch you?
Let's just say
it was a matter of trust.
Now let's go take care
of Hordak.
Magnificent Hordak, let me in.
This is all your fault.
There, now let's see
how it floats.
I've got to get out of here.
Wait for me!
Unicorn Island
is safe, your highness.
Now that the Sea Fright
has been sunk,
it'll be a long time before
Hordak can bother you again.
But if he does,
we'll be there to help.
You'll always be welcome here,
both of you.
Come visit anytime.
And if you ever need my help,
just ask.
Thank you, we will.
And I hope you'll come
visit our land someday.
Time to get back to the
Whispering Woods, Swift Wind.
Good-bye!
Mantenna, I'm very unhappy.
Do you know what that means?
Sure, but what can you do
to me in this little boat?
This.
Not again, aw
The trap door
is letting the water in.
I hadn't thought of that.
Mantenna, this is your fault!
Mighty Hordak, I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no!
Hi, this is Loo-Kee.
Did you find me today?
Take a look now.
Find me yet?
I'm right here!
Today's story
was about cooperation.
That means helping each other
get something done,
like when you help
do things around the house.
Many jobs can be made easier
when we work together,
when we cooperate
with one another.
Bye, now.
Hope you find me next time.
