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 ♪
Greetings, my loyal minions.
Mantenna, why didn't you bow
when I entered the room?
I forgot.
That is no excuse.
That was a close one.
Oh, Hordak, you seem upset.
I've just returned
from our secret headquarters,
where I received
an important message
from Horde Prime.
Horde Prime, leader
of the might Horde empire,
ruler of a thousand worlds,
the most feared being
in three galaxies!
What did he want?
To remind me that his birthday
is coming up
and that he expects a present
a good one.
The question is,
what kind of gift?
I have an idea, Hordak.
Be right back.
The end of the world
must be upon us.
Grizzlor has had an idea.
I'll never understand
how a brain so small
managed to grow so much fur.
Sowhat are you going to do
about Horde Prime?
I don't know.
That's why I'm upset.
But what do you get for someone
who rules our whole galaxy?
Someone who has
two of everything
two armies, two space fleets
Two heads.
I was trying not to think
about that.
I've got it,
the perfect gift
for Horde Prime.
All right, Grizzlor.
Go ahead, thrill me.
A pair of ties,
one for each head.
Do you have any idea
what Horde Prime would do to me
if I sent him a tie?
Uh, no, what?
This!
Feel better now?
A little.
Good, because now
I have an idea.
In all the universe,
all the worlds
that Horde controls,
there is one thing
which is so special, so rare,
that even Horde Prime
can't buy it.
Well, tell me, tell me.
What is it?
She-Ra's steed, Swift Wind.
Of course!
That's it.
We'll capture Swift Wind
as a birthday present
for Horde Prime.
And at the same time,
rob She-Ra of her greatest ally.
Yes, it's perfect.
But how do we capture
that animal?
Oh, you can leave that
To me.
Hordak, it's as good as done.
I appreciate you
coming along with me
on my patrol, Bow.
My pleasure, She-Ra.
It's not often
that I get a chance
to see Etheria the way you do.
You really see the beauty
of the planet from up here.
You see the problems too.
Look there.
That dam is cracking.
It's about to break.
Down, Swift Wind.
Stay here, Bow.
But I'd like to help.
No, I'd better
handle this alone.
Stay here with Swift Wind.
Good, I knew that
when we cracked that dam,
it would bring She-Ra.
You robots know what to do?
Well, yes, but
But what?
Well, you see, it's like this.
We don'tthat's
That is what?
She-Ra's busy with the dam.
She won't bother you.
Yeah, but Bow's still out there.
Yeah, he's tough,
clever with an arrow.
Yes, and scary, so
- We don't
- We don't want to do it.
You know, you shouldn't
be afraid of Bow.
Oh, no?
Why not?
Because there's someone else
you should be more afraid of.
Uh, who's that?
Me, you tin-headed cowards.
Now get to work!
- Right.
- Right, Shadow Weaver.
Right, yes.
They just don't make robots
the way they used to.
That dam didn't just crack.
It was blasted by a ray;
probably the work of the Horde.
But this log will help me
repair the damage.
That should hold it.
Now, to get back to the village.
Some job for a hero like me
babysitting.
Babysitting?
Really, Bow?
Sorry, Swift Wind.
I didn't mean it.
I'd just like some action.
And it looks like I may get it.
That girl needs help.
Wait here, Swift Wind.
Butoh, very well.
Help, help me!
Somebody help me!
Oh, I'm going to catch you.
Am I doing this right?
Quiet, fool.
Help!
Help, help me!
Over here, I'll save you.
You're safe now.
I had this arrow specially made.
All right, beastie,
you better come with me.
This freeze ray
should take care of you.
Now come along.
I don't think that trooper
will be bothering you anymore.
Oh, Bow, you were wonderful.
Well, yes, I was.
And you know my name.
Of course.
All the girls do.
But I don't know
how to thank you.
Shadow Weaver, ugh.
Oh, that's right, Bow.
And now, not only do I have
the perfect gift
for Horde Prime
It looks like I have
a prisoner as well.
That's what
you think, Shadow Weaver.
She-Ra!
Let him go.
Suppose you make me, wing-head.
Now it's my turn.
Sword to net.
You won't have me, She-Ra.
But now
I have something of yours.
Something of mine?
Swift Wind.
Bow, where is Swift Wind?
Whywhy, I left Swifty
just over there.
Come on.
This is the place.
But Swift Wind's gone.
Oh, Bow
Shadow Weaver said something
about having the perfect gift
for Horde Prime.
Swift Wind!
It's all my fault.
I should never
have left Swifty here.
I was too eager.
I should have known that girl
wasn't really in trouble.
I acted without thinking.
You did what you thought
was right.
Shadow Weaver tricked you.
But what do we do now?
Simple, I'll go
to the Fright Zone
and bring Swift Wind back.
Then I want to go with you.
It's too dangerous, Bow.
I should go alone.
But it's my fault
that Swift Wind was stolen.
At least let me help you.
If that's how you feel,
then I will be glad
to have your help, Bow.
Come on.
We mustn't keep
the Horde waiting.
Excellent work, Shadow Weaver.
Our birthday gift to Horde Prime
is in perfect condition.
And our power drainer
should keep the beast quiet
during the long, cold journey
to Horde World.
I take it you're pleased.
Oh, yes.
My gift to Horde Prime
will be the finest gift of all.
And he will remember me,
and I will become
his favorite commander.
And who knows?
Perhaps someday
I will become Horde Prime.
Don't hold your breath, Hordak.
Even without me,
She-Ra is more than a match
for your troopers.
She will come for me,
and then together we'll
Will she, now?
See for yourself
the preparations we have made,
in case she is foolish enough
to try to rescue you.
All the freeze rays
and stun cannons
are fully activated.
The scanners
are on maximum alert,
and the Destructo Tanks
have every inch
of the Fright Zone covered.
Mm, I am impressed.
You should be impressed.
This is all for your benefit,
after all.
And to protect
my splendid idea
His idea?
It was my idea.
But Hordak, I thought
this was Shadow Weaver's idea.
You know, it's funny,
but I could have sworn
I heard someone say something.
Now, do any of you
want to say anything?
Good.
And as for you, Swift Wind,
would you like to know what
Horde Prime will do with you?
Think he'll put you
in a zoo or a circus?
I have nothing else
to say to you, Hordak.
Good, then I will talk.
I will tell you
what Horde Prime will do to you.
He will put you in a cage
in the deepest, darkest
dungeon he can find
and leave you there.
You will be fed, taken care of,
but you will never see the sky,
never see sunrises or sunsets.
You see, Horde Prime cannot fly,
and he hates anything that can.
As the years pass,
your mane will become gray
from the darkness,
and your wings will wither
from lack of use.
You will never fly again.
And you will never,
ever see She-Ra again.
The Fright Zone
seems quiet enough.
Don't let that fool you.
You can be sure
Hordak is expecting us.
Well, let's give it a test.
My glider arrow
should attract their attention.
They're expecting us, all right.
How are we gonna get in there?
I have an idea,
but I'll need a distraction.
Give me a few minutes,
then do something
to get their attention.
Leave it to me.
She-Ra ♪
As I remember,
this stream runs
right under the Fright Zone.
I don't think
they'd expect me to swim in.
Here goes.
So far, so good.
I should be right under
Hordak's throne room.
What?
Mantenna?
Help me!
Sword to rope.
Got it.
Hang on.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Hordak dumps me in there
all the time, She-Ra.
She-Ra?
Hordak will reward me
for capturing you.
This will do you no good.
Any time now,
Swift Wind will be
on a spaceship to Horde World.
Then I'd better get moving.
The space port
should be this way.
She-Ra is here.
I must tell Hordak.
I think I've waited long enough.
Let's see if I could
shake everyone up.
She-Ra!
She must be attacking.
Attention, troops.
Hordak, Hordak!
It's She-Ra!
I know that,
you soggy simpleton.
But let me explain.
I have no time
to listen to you!
No, n-n-no.
You don't understand!
Troops
Open fire!
Well, She-Ra wanted me
to get their attention.
I think I've done it.
I hope she's all right.
Is the animal aboard?
Everything's ready for takeoff.
What's the hurry anyway?
I don't know,
but Hordak's in a hurry
to ship Swift Wind
to Horde World,
and I don't ask questions.
Hey, what's the idea?
What?
Youyou hit me.
No, I didn't.
Then who did?
Nighty-night, robots.
She-Ra, I knew you'd come.
I'm glad you're all right,
Swift Wind.
Now, let's get you
out of here.
Hordak, Swift Wind
has been freed.
Have the troopers
hold their fire,
and organize a search party.
She-Ra must still
be here someplace.
Now, get moving!
I want She-Ra found.
Yes, mighty Hordak.
The Horde has stopped shooting.
I wonder if She-Ra
has rescued Swift Wind.
She-Ra could be in trouble.
She's been too long.
She must have been captured.
I think it's time
for a daring rescue
by one of the greatest heroes
of the Rebellion, me.
I don't like it.
That She-Ra is too clever.
Keep a sharp eye.
You worry too much.
She-Ra's no match
for us robots.
- What's that?
- It's just an arrow.
Just an arrow?
An arrow?
An arrow means
It's Bow!
Bow, Bow, you brave,
wonderful fool.
I don't need rescuing.
Come on, Swift Wind, let's go.
Now, look here, Bow.
We don't want any trouble.
Yeah, why don't you
just get out of here
before we have to get tough?
You rotten robots.
What have you done with She-Ra?
She-Ra?
We don't have She-Ra.
I'm warning you.
Bow, I'm safe.
Let's get out of here.
It's She-Ra.
I guess we'd better freeze her
with the stun cannon.
You two aren't going
to do anything.
- Hey.
- Hey, you, cut it out!
- Stop it!
- Hordak, Hordak!
Good work, Bow.
Now mount up.
Let's get out of here.
Ooh.
What's going on here?
Robots, do your duty.
Uh, we're sort of tied up
at the moment, Shadow Weaver.
Useless fools.
I shall stop them myself.
Let's see you get out
of my dark bubble.
Sword to shield.
Shadow Weaver's sort of
tied up too.
That should hold her
for a while.
Now let's go home.
Uh, She-Ra
Yes, Bow?
I noticed that you were
already free
when I came to rescue you.
Was I too anxious again?
Well, let's put it this say,
Bow.
I appreciate your help.
You know, now that we've
got Swift Wind back,
I can't help but wonder,
what's Hordak going to do
for a gift for Horde Prime now?
She-Ra ♪
Oh, mighty Horde Prime,
master of all you see,
I bring a birthday gift
that has come
from Commander Hordak
on the planet Etheria.
Open it.
It's a tie, O Great One.
But it's a very nice tie.
It's
I see it.
And now I must thank Hordak
for his
thoughtful gift.
And after you've
raised the taxes,
I want you to
Oh, no.
I knew he wouldn't like
I didn't think he would.
Hi, everybody.
It's me, Loo-Kee.
Did you see
where I was hiding today?
If not, look for me now.
Here I am!
There's a very special
kind of love
between people and animals.
If you have a pet,
you know what I mean.
If we treat them
with patience and kindness,
they can be one
of our very best friends.
Bye, now,
and see ya next time.
