I'm sorry there isn't more to eat.
Oh, it's...it's not your fault, dear.
What with the Horde taxes, we should be glad
we have any food at all.
You work so hard for so little.
It just isn't fair.
No one said the Horde was fair, Mally.
But at least I've paid my taxes.
I'll get it.
Wh-what do you want here?
We have come for your taxes.
But...but I paid my taxes.
You paid half of them.
Hordak doubled all the taxes this morning.
Doubled?
I-I don't have that much.
Then we will take your farm.
No! Not our farm!
Loden!
They can't take our farm.
You leave!
You metal monsters.
This is our home.
General Sunder.
That was foolish, citizen.
You'll be in jail for a long, long time.
No!
Let him go, you monster!
Arrest her too.
What about the girl?
Put her in the, uh...
in the empty wagon.
Away from the rest.
Yes, General.
Let me go!
There.
That should keep you prisoner.
Well, he forgot to lock the door.
Move out.
Next stop, the Fright Zone.
I'm going to need help.
And I know just where to get it.
And then the general took my parents prisoner.
I managed to escape and came here.
The fiend!
Who was this Horde scum?
We'll take care of him.
I heard my father call him Sunder.
Sunder?
General Sunder?
- Do you know him? - Oh, I should.
Remember, I was once a Horde Force Captain.
General Sunder was a man we all respected.
He's a strong fighter.
Once, he even stood up to Hordak on my behalf.
An honorable man and a good solider.
He will not be an easy man to fight.
It would be best if we sent a small scouting party now
while it's still dark.
Mally, are you feeling well enough to lead us back?
Then we're going to free my parents?
We're certainly going to try.
Glimmer, you go with Mally.
Get her something to eat.
She's had a long day, and it's going to be
an even longer night.
By the way, Mally, you never did tell me
how you escaped from General Sunder.
I'm curious.
No one's ever done it before.
Well, he just forgot to lock the door, that's all.
He didn't lock the door?
Yeah.
Lucky mistake, I guess.
Is something up?
Maybe.
I know General Sunder, and he doesn't make mistakes.
He's too good a soldier to leave a door open like that.
Then you think he let her go on purpose?
I don't know.
Where are you going?
To find the one person
who can get to the bottom of this...She-Ra.
For the honor of Grayskull!

There it is.
That's Sunder's camp.
And there are my parents.
Come on, we have to rescue them!
We will.
We're waiting for She-Ra.
Oh, right on time.
You must be Mally.
Adora said that you need my help.
I do. And thank you.
My parents are down there in that wagon.
Our best chance is to try to free them now
while it's still dark.
Bow, you and Mally sneak down, and when I signal,
try to get that cage open.
Glimmer and I will make sure the troopers
have plenty of other things to worry about.
- Come on, Glim. - This should be fun!
♪ She-Ra ♪
There, my parents.
Let's go get them.
Easy, Mally.
We have to wait for the signal.
What signal?
That signal! Let's go.
That should shake up the Horde.
Stay down. Let me handle this.
Sword to shield.
This will keep us safe from the freeze rays
for a little while.
General.
It's the two Rebels, She-Ra and Glimmer.
They're on top of that hill.
So I see.
Trooper, take a squad of robots up there
and capture those two.
Capture She-Ra?
Ugh, I knew this wasn't my day.
Get going, robot, or I'll have you dismantled.
Y-yes, sir.
Those two could not possibly be planning an attack.
Therefore, it must be a trick.
And I think I know why.
They sure don't make troopers the way they used to.
Come on.
You free the prisoners. I'll keep a lookout.
Oh, Mother, Father!
Mally!
Thank goodness you're safe.
No time to talk.
Hurry, everyone.
We have to get you out of here.
They're going after She-Ra and Glimmer.
Are you finished?
Yes, everyone's out.
Except for you two, I'm afraid.
Your bravery does you credit.
It is a pity that you are Rebels.
I fear it is my duty to arrest you.
Come.
No!
Mally, run!
General Sunder! What happened?
He's only stunned.
He threw himself on my stun pistol
to allow his friends to escape.
What a fool!
I'd never do that for anybody.
No, I don't suppose you would.
When he wakes up, bring him along.
I have a use for him.
How much longer do we keep this up, She-Ra?
Until we know that the prisoners are safe.
She-Ra!
She-Ra, I have taken Bow as my prisoner.
Surrender yourself, and I will free him.
Otherwise, he will be a prisoner of the Horde forever.
Don't do it, She-Ra!
I have no choice.
I must surrender.
Bow's freedom depends on it.
But how do you know Sunder will keep his word?
I have to take that chance.
She's surrendering, General!
She sure is stupid.
You mean brave, don't you, Trooper?
But of course, I was forgetting...
robots don't know the meaning of the word.
I salute your courage, She-Ra.
Put her in power chains.
Make sure that even she cannot escape.
One minute, Sunder.
You promised to let Bow go free.
Of course.
Let him go.
I always keep my word.
But I'm afraid that will not help you, She-Ra.
Your capture of the Rebel leader, She-Ra,
pleases me greatly, General Sunder.
However did you manage it?
I had been fortunate enough
to capture the Rebel known as Bow.
I offered to exchange his release for her surrender.
How very clever of you!
So where is the prisoner Bow?
She-Ra surrendered, so I released Bow,
as I had promised.
What?
You kept your word to a Rebel?
You, I take it, would not have done so.
Of course not!
Promises were made to be broken!
That is one of the differences between us.
What?
Well, no matter.
What of the other prisoners?
I regret to say that they were freed by the Rebels.
Drat it, Sunder!
Those tax evaders must be punished!
Hordak, those taxes are unreasonable.
Yes, but, then, so is Hordak.
Who says I'm unreasonable?
I notice you are not laughing, General.
Perhaps you would think it was funnier...
if I were to do the same thing to you.
If you think that would be funny, Hordak,
then why don't you try it?
Eh, never mind.
Take the prisoner She-Ra to her cell, General.
I will decide her punishment later.
Yes, Hordak.
I'm not sure I trust General Sunder anymore.
He's getting too...
honest, if you know what I mean.
And he scared you too.
Uh-oh. I'm sorry.
Great one...
My friends will rescue me, you know.
- Really? - Of course.
If you were captured, wouldn't your troops
try to rescue you?
Well, wouldn't they?
I-I don't know.
♪ She-Ra ♪
They'll be expecting an attack.
But not so soon.
They won't have had time to get ready.
Bow's right.
Our best chance is to go now.
Now, wait a minute, Mally.
This will be dangerous.
You'd better stay back in camp.
She-Ra was captured because she was helping my parents.
I have to go along.
I agree.
You've proved yourself a good Rebel.
You're coming along.
Now, listen closely, everyone.
Here's the plan.
♪ She-Ra ♪
Mally.
Yes, Bow?
Remember, get us as close to the Fright Zone as you can.
The Rebels are coming.
Such a small force against all the might of the Horde.
What is it that gives them this courage?
No, I will not give the alarm just yet.
I have another plan.
Halt!
Anything coming into the Fright Zone
must be searched.
Stand aside!
As you wish.
Come on, you bucket of bolts.
It looks like trouble.
Glimmer, get going. I'll hold off the robots.
Glimmer!
You might need this!
Catch!
Got it!
What is it?
It's a blast arrow.
Don't drop it!
Uh, thanks.
I won't.
♪ She-Ra ♪
She-Ra! Where are you?
Here!
Stand back.
♪ She-Ra ♪
Any sign of Glimmer or She-Ra?
- No. - Well, they'd better hurry.
I can't hold these troopers off much longer.
It's no good!
Nothing will open these power chains except the key.
And the only person who has the key...
Is me.
I have one question for you, She-Ra.
What is it that gives you Rebels
your extraordinary courage and determination?
Because our struggle against the evil Horde
is an honest one.
We have a cause.
We are fighting for our freedom.
I have never known this "freedom."
Is it truly so important?
It is, Sunder.
It's as precious as life itself.
Without it, you become nothing more
than one of these unfeeling, empty robots.
I see.
And, Trooper, why is it that you fight for the Horde?
Because I'm a robot.
I follow orders.
Besides, I like bullying people.
Wrong answer, Trooper.
Now let's unlock those power chains.
But what about you?
I will stay here. This is my place.
But don't you know what Hordak will do to you
when he finds out?
- I know. - Then why stay?
I am a Horde solider.
I always have been and always will be.
I can do nothing to change that,
as much as I might want to.
But you can.
Don't you see?
You're not a robot like this.
A robot has no mind of its own.
You do.
A robot can only follow orders.
You have a choice,
a will of your own.
- But I am a soldier. - Then be a soldier.
Take on the biggest challenge of your life.
For the moment, we are few,
but we are strong in our love for one another
and in our love for freedom.
Please join us.
I'm offering you the chance
to fight for something, not against something.
This may be your last chance.
What do you say, General?
Here they come.
Boy, am I glad to be out of there.
Now let's get out of of here.
No, wait!
Sunder's coming.
Sunder?
He's on our side now.
No time to explain.
Sword to shield.
I hope that line is strong enough.
Oh, no!
Sunder, are you all right?
Takes more than that...
to get rid of me.
But my leg's broken.
Here come the troopers.
Go on. Leave me here and save yourself.
That's not the way we Rebels do things.
Come on,
we're all getting out of here.
Why have they stopped shooting?
Look.
So General Sunder has decided
to join the Rebels, has he?
Well, he will regret that rash decision.
Troopers!
Charge!
Leave those robots to me.
This could be the straw...
that breaks those robots' backs!
Until next time, Hordak.
Someday I'll get you Rebels!
You will regret this, She-Ra!
♪ She-Ra ♪
You are quite a nurse.
You're quite a soldier.
Not anymore.
From now on, I'm a Rebel
like the rest of you.
Then why don't you take that horrible helmet off?
Oh, I forgot.
I've worn it for so long.
Well, do you like me better without it, Mally?
Oh, maybe a little.
You know, I think I'm starting to like this, uh,
freedom of yours.
I think we have a new friend, Bow.
And a good one.
Hi, here's Loo-Kee again.
Did you find where I was hiding?
If not, here's another chance.
Find me?
Here I am! See?
One more chance and you found me.
Have you ever said it's too late to change bad habits
or mistakes you've made?
Remember, it's never too late
to make a change for the better.
There's always one last chance.
