The Forest of Freedom.
It kind of takes your breath away.
It is beautiful.
[chuckling]
It's nothing but a bunch of bug-infested trees.
Kowl, you're such a complainer.
Don't you like anything?
[chuckling] Yes.
A roof over my head, something to eat,
and most of all, good music.
Well, now, would you like me to play for you?
[scoffs]
I said "good" music.
Cut it out, you two.
Don't forget we're here for a reason.
We have to find out why the animals
are disappearing from here.
I don't blame them.
I would too, if I could.
[She-Ra] This is serious, Kowl.
Animals don't just vanish.
Not vanish, Adora...disappear.
There is a difference.
[Bow] When something vanishes, it's gone forever.
But when it disappears,
It has to reappear somewhere else.
We just have to figure out where.
And the cards?
Look under your wing, Kowl.
[chuckles]
Can't resist showing off, can you, Bow?
What's the matter, Kowl?
Didn't you like my card trick?
Oh, it wasn't bad.
But I'll just keep these cards
so I won't have to see it again.
Look!
A Crimson Scracklebird!
[Kowl] So?
They're very rare.
People used to hunt them for their feathers.
Now there aren't many left.
[chuckling]
Ooh, I know how the poor bird feels.
There are also very few of my kind left.
I'm sorry to hear that, Kowl.
Ahem.
Not to worry.
One of me is quite enough.
You can say that again.
[bird chirping]
[bird screeches]
Where'd it go?
I don't know.
But did you see a dark shadow just now?
Yes.
Something weird is going on here.
Let's climb that hill and look around.
Transport to Groundbuster.
Mmm, Groundbuster here.
What is it?
How about some speed up there, bug-eyes?
Bug-eyes?
Listen, hair-ball, you know the regulations.
No transport goes faster than four bleems.
Is that so?
Well, you're only going two bleems.
Here, I'll help you get up to speed.
[revving]
[Grizzlor laughing]
Now will you move it?
Mmm, oh, blast that fur-brain.
[laughing]
Those bug eye balls don't scare me.
[revving]
[Mantenna howling]
[laughing]
Look, a Groundbuster and the Horde transport.
I bet they have something to do with the disappearing animals.
There's only one way to find out.
I'm going to stop that convoy and ask them some questions.
[She-Ra] Don't be silly.
You can't take them on.
Then I won't give them a chance to surrender.
You two better stay here.
[She-Ra] They've got you outnumbered.
Bow, wait, this is foolish.
Foolish is that boy's middle name.
Don't you think She-Ra should give him a hand?
I guess she'd better.
For the honor of Grayskull!

There's a man on horseback in the road.
You think it could be an attack?
Mmm, stupid.
Only one man on Etheria would be crazy enough
to attack two vehicles on horseback,
and that's the man.
[tire pops, hisses]
[crash]
Mmm, what a mess.
Now for the transport.
Ow!
[laughing]
Keep firing.
We'll teach him a lesson.

That guy thinks he's in a shooting gallery.
Let's go, Arrow.
Oh!
They're down.
Close in.

[brakes screech]
[revving]
Hey, we've stopped.
What happened?
[revving]
It's She-Ra.
She's holding the transport.
Well, let's see if she can hold it
when I double the power.
[revving]
[Bow] Thanks, She-Ra.
We'll get out of your way.
[Bow] Come on, Arrow.
Bow is safe.
Now to give Grizzlor a little surprise.
Grizzlor, stop.
[robot] She-Ra's letting go!
[Grizzlor] I-I-I-I can't control it!
[revving]
[crash]
Hmm, that transport was carrying cages.
[Bow] She-Ra.
Thanks for the help, but what are you doing here?
I heard that animals were disappearing
from Freedom Forest.
True, and I think these villains are responsible.
[She-Ra] Not exactly, Bow.
The transport is carrying cages, but they're empty.
So?
So they were moving away from the forest,
not toward it.
If they were capturing animals,
there should have been some in the cages.
Well, that makes sense.
But, then, what are they doing with the cages?
[She-Ra] Delivering them to whoever is taking the animals.
We need to find out who that is.
And I know just who to ask.
[Bow] All right, Mantenna, talk.
Who's grabbing the animals,
and where are they being taken?
Tell us, or you'll be sorry.
Mmm, I won't tell you.
You rebels are too soft-hearted to do anything to me.
Mantenna, have you ever heard of the Trolls of Spikeheart?
Trolls?
Oh, She-Ra, you wouldn't.
They hate hordesmen.
Yes, they do.
But they like us.
And if we were to ask them
to get some information from Mantenna...
Oh, I don't even like to guess what they might do to him.
[She-Ra] Ooh, it would be awful.
But he says he won't tell us anything.
Mmm, wait a minute.
All I know is, we were to deliver
those cages to Outpost Six.
Outpost Six, I know where that is.
Looks like that's our next stop.
But what do we do with Mantenna and Grizzlor and the troopers?
[She-Ra] That's no problem.
[Grizzlor] You can't do this to me.
Enjoy yourselves.
We'll give your regards to Outpost Six.
[grumbling]
Mmm, be quiet, fur-breath.
It's your fooling around that got us into this.
What?
I'll show you fooling around.
[Mantenna yelping]
- Take that! - Take that, fur-ball!
What happened to Adora?
She left,
but Kowl should still be waiting for us.
I don't know why they're taking so long.
Hello, who's that?
[chuckling]
Why...I mean, who...I mean...
Where did you come fr...
Ooh, you look just like me.
And you look just like me.
I didn't think there were many of us left.
I didn't either.
And I was sure there weren't any pretty ones.
Oh, you're very sweet,
but I'm afraid I have to be going.
[Kowl] Oh, wait, I just met you.
Where are you going?
Bye.
No, don't go yet.
[yelps]
[muffled cries]
Come back!
Where are you?
[shouting]
Kowl, where are you, Kowl?
Bow, look.
Aren't these feathers...
Kowl's?
I'm afraid they are.
Are you all right?
I think so.
But who...
Vultak is the name.
And don't give me any trouble.
You'd better let us go.
[Vultak] Let you go?
Not a chance.
You two are going to be
one of the main attractions in the zoo.
Zoo?
What zoo?
Why, Hordak's, of course.
Oh, no.
So that's what's been happening
to all the animals in Freedom Forest.
Yes, sir.
Catching animals is my job.
I'm Hordak's zookeeper.
Oh, if Hordak has a zoo,
you can bet it's not because he wants to take care of animals.
He just wants to keep them in prison.
He's put trees in prison if he could.
[Vultak] Hmm, trees in prison?
Not a bad idea, not bad at all.
Whatever took Kowl
must have taken all the other animals too.
I hope we'll learn more at the outpost.
If anyone hurts my little buddy,
they're in trouble with me.
And with me too.
[chorus] ♪ She-Ra ♪
[gators growling]
[animals snorting, snarling]
[Vultak] So how do you like the zoo?
Ooh, yes, very nice.
Thank you for the tour, but we must be going.
[Vultak] Did I say you could go?
No, but even with a brain as small as yours,
I'll bet you could try.
Like this: "You can go, Kowl."
Little fool.
Even if I were to let you go, you'd never get away.
[blast]
The zoo is protected by an energy force field.
The only way in or out
is through the main gate past my robots.
And watch what they can do.
Zootrons, protect.
[Vultak] You'll never get past them.
Face the facts, little friends.
You're going to be here for a long, long time.
[birds squawking]
[She-Ra] The guards must be all inside.
[laughter, chatter]
So what do we do now?
Simple, we'll surround them.
[blast]
Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk.
You know, it'd save you fellas a lot of money
if you'd install a doorbell here.
[arrow zings]
Now, now.
Don't do anything we'll make you regret.
I've got a question to ask you.
Is that so?
Grab her!
[clank]
[hordesmen groaning]
As I was saying, I've got a question to ask you.
All right, all right, put us down.
What is happening to the animals in Freedom Forest?
They're being collected for Hordak's zoo.
Where is this zoo?
Just north of here.
Vultak runs it.
He's the one who grabbed all the animals.
Come on, Bow.
How do we keep them from following us?
This should slow them down a little.
[explosion]
Now let's get to Hordak's zoo.
[chorus] ♪ She-Ra ♪
[Kowl] Where is she?
Where is my friend?
What have you done with her?
You'll see her soon enough.
The cage is ready for both of you.
You'll be sorry for this, you feathered freak.
Freak, am I?
Zootrons, teach him a little respect.
[blast]
[Zootrons screeching]
Bring him along.
It's time for him to see his new home.
This is it, home sweet home.
[Zootrons squeaking]
Oh, you're safe.
I was so worried.
And I was worried about you.
If only we could be safe somewhere else.
The zoo isn't so bad.
Ugh, how can you say that?
They give you a roof over your head
and good things to eat.
What more could you want?
Hmm, that's funny.
This morning, I said the same thing.
But I was wrong.
[Kowla] What more is there?
Freedom, that's what.
To be able to do what you want when you want.
[Kowla] But they take care of us.
They don't take care of us.
They guard us.
Real zoos let animals live the way they do in nature.
Hordak's zoo is just another prison.
Ugh.
This must be the zoo.
[Bow] Some place.
That moat is loaded with hungry snapgators,
just itching to sink their teeth into something...or someone.
Actually, they're going to help us.
Huh?
Ooh, escaping is a bad idea, Kowl.
It's dangerous.
There are too many Zootrons guarding us.
Hoo-hoo.
Well, maybe not.
A friend of mine taught me a trick
that might work.
Uh, hey, you, come here.
[Kowl] I want to show you something
that'll knock your treads off.
Watch this.
Interesting, isn't it?
Hoo-hoo, and now for my famous escaping card trick.
[Kowl] Pick a card, any card.
Ooh, very good.
Now pick another.
And another, and another.
And another, and another, and another, and another.
Now watch this very closely,
as I say the magic words...
Presto knot-o.
Since you're all tied up,
I know you won't mind if I borrow your keys.
This should get us out of here.
Come on, Kowla.
So far, so good.
[warbling tone]
Hear me, my scaly friends.
All right, stop the hissing.
Shh, that's better.
My friend and I need a ride
across the moat to that gate over there
so we can get into the zoo and rescue the animals.
You wouldn't want to be cooped up in a cage, would you?
I didn't think so.
Now, how about that ride?
Hoo, that was a close one.
Yes, but we are safe now.
[Vultak] Are you sure?
Of course I'm...
[gasps]
Vultak!
So you like tricks, eh?
I've got one for you.
Zootrons, pick a stun stick,
any stun stick.
[cackling]
Got to open it.
[creaking]
[cable snaps]
What was that?
[Vultak] She-Ra!
Zootrons, get them!
Looks like we have company.
- Now what? - A more direct approach.
Hee-yah!
Something tells me this would be a good time to get out of here.
[screeches]
Vultak's getting away.
Not if I can help it.
My boomerang arrow should slow him down.
[She-Ra] Good work, Bow!
[crash]
Going somewhere, Vultak?
Why don't you stay a while?
[croaking weakly]
[Kowla] Ooh, you were right, Kowl.
Freedom is wonderful.
But it's something you have to earn.
No one can give you freedom,
but anyone can take it away if you let them.
The first freedom you two need
is the freedom to get to know each other better.
[giggles]
That would be very nice.
[laughs]
You can say that again.
That would be very nice.
[laughs]
I'm glad we put an end to Hordak's zoo.
Did you destroy all the cages, She-Ra?
[She-Ra] All except one.
[Kowl] Why?
[She-Ra] Because the only thing that belongs in a Horde zoo
is a Horde monster.
[laughter]
Hi, there, did you see where I was hiding today?
Here I am.
Today, we saw how Kowl
didn't really appreciate his freedom until he lost it.
So remember, we should concentrate
on the good things we have,
like sunsets and flowers and our family.
And let's take the time to show our appreciation
by saying, "Thank you."
You'll be glad you did.
See ya next time.
Will you see me?
