1. - Thanks for coming with me, guys.
- Of course.
Copy !req
2. And the queen is okay with us taking off?
I would've thought a mission
Copy !req
3. to the Crimson Waste
would've been too risky for her.
Copy !req
4. Oh, she hates this idea,
which is why I didn't tell her.
Copy !req
5. It's not like anyone else has a plan
to stop Hordak from opening a portal.
Copy !req
6. You're right. Tracking Mara's message
to the source is the best lead we have.
Copy !req
7. Plus, for an inhospitable desert,
this place is kind of beautiful.
Copy !req
8. Oh, there's even a cute little bird.
Copy !req
9. Never mind, this place is terrifying.
Copy !req
10. Okay, I know it's scary and dangerous,
Copy !req
11. but if there is something to do
with portals here,
Copy !req
12. we have to find it for the Rebellion.
Copy !req
13. And... for me.
Copy !req
14. Which way now, Bow?
Copy !req
15. Uh...
Copy !req
16. So, uh, slight problem.
Copy !req
17. Uh, my tracker pad, it's dead.
Copy !req
18. So, we're without a map,
and the plants are evil. Heh.
Copy !req
19. But it's okay.
We're coming from the north.
Copy !req
20. If we keep going south,
we'll cross the center.
Copy !req
21. And, uh,
I'm something of an expert tracker,
Copy !req
22. thanks to the Horde's
survival skills training.
Copy !req
23. We just have to keep going... that way.
Copy !req
24. Problem solved.
I've got this under control.
Copy !req
25. Day 135,
this could finally be it.
Copy !req
26. Initiating first test. Here we go. Aha.
Copy !req
27. - Something's wrong. I'm turning it off.
- No, you fool. It'll blow.
Copy !req
28. This doesn't make any sense.
It should work.
Copy !req
29. The machine didn't have enough power,
so we added First Ones Tech.
Copy !req
30. Then it was blowing out the power grid,
so we rerouted it.
Copy !req
31. Now it's powered, it's functioning,
but it won't activate a portal.
Copy !req
32. It's like there's a key.
Copy !req
33. Maybe when Catra brings that tech back
from the Crimson Waste—
Copy !req
34. Catra is never coming back
from that fool's errand.
Copy !req
35. The machine is a failure.
We're done here. Get out.
Copy !req
36. - That was just our first test. If we try—
- I said, we're done.
Copy !req
37. Okay, to review, the plants are evil,
tech doesn't work,
Copy !req
38. and sometimes, a sand dune is
a pile of very angry, sand-colored snakes.
Copy !req
39. So, I think we're getting
the hang of this.
Copy !req
40. Why can't I just teleport us
to the center of the Waste?
Copy !req
41. You don't know where it is and would
run out of power before we made it.
Copy !req
42. Oh, thank you for reminding me
that my powers are limited.
Copy !req
43. - You think I don't know—?
- Glimmer.
Copy !req
44. I'm fine.
Copy !req
45. Where's Adora?
Copy !req
46. And quicksand. That is now on our list
of things to avoid.
Copy !req
47. Wow, I'm learning so much today.
Copy !req
48. Adora, you know we support you
all the way,
Copy !req
49. - but maybe we're not prepared for this.
- We just need a little rest.
Copy !req
50. - I'll figure out how to build a shelter—
- Or we could go there?
Copy !req
51. Okay. Problem solved.
Copy !req
52. We'll get out of the heat,
and maybe there's a map or water inside.
Copy !req
53. Adora, I doubt
there's anything useful here.
Copy !req
54. The Crimson Waste's been abandoned
for hundreds of—
Copy !req
55. Just act tough. Try to blend in.
Copy !req
56. Ha!
Copy !req
57. Good afternoon, fellow patrons.
Copy !req
58. Except, I don't even care
if you do have a good afternoon,
Copy !req
59. - because I'm bad.
- Bow.
Copy !req
60. Hi. Is this the center of the Crimson—?
Copy !req
61. Excuse me? Hello? We—
Copy !req
62. Okay, that didn't work.
Copy !req
63. Adora, I'm not so sure
these are the kind of people
Copy !req
64. we should be asking for help.
Copy !req
65. Hello. Sorry to interrupt, uh,
but we're not from around here,
Copy !req
66. and we're hoping
someone would give us directions?
Copy !req
67. You're outsiders.
Copy !req
68. Uh, yeah, I guess we are.
Copy !req
69. We don't like outsiders here.
Copy !req
70. And since the Crimson Waste
didn't take care of you...
Copy !req
71. we will.
Copy !req
72. We didn't mean to disturb you.
Copy !req
73. There's only two rules
in the Crimson Waste.
Copy !req
74. One, the strong make the rules.
Copy !req
75. And two, don't annoy me when I eat.
Copy !req
76. I made rule one. They broke rule two.
Copy !req
77. - Are you all staring at something?
Copy !req
78. Kids, what are you doing,
asking these lowlifes for help?
Copy !req
79. Don't you know you can't trust anyone
in the Crimson Waste?
Copy !req
80. Up until two minutes ago,
Copy !req
81. we didn't know there was anyone
in the Crimson Waste.
Copy !req
82. Scoundrels, criminals, outlaws,
all of them. Be careful, kids.
Copy !req
83. Next time,
I might not be around to save you.
Copy !req
84. Oh, wow.
Copy !req
85. - We need her.
- What?
Copy !req
86. Excuse me? Hi, can we join you? Great.
Copy !req
87. I'm Adora. This is Bow and Glimmer.
And we came to—
Copy !req
88. Blondie, Boy, Glitter, got it. Huntara.
Now what do you want?
Copy !req
89. - It's Glimmer. Actually, Princess Glimmer.
- Oh, a Princess. Me, too.
Copy !req
90. I'm the Princess of Crimson Waste.
Can you tell?
Copy !req
91. Or am I not sparkly enough for you?
Copy !req
92. We're looking for something
in the center of the Crimson Waste.
Copy !req
93. It's important we find it.
You seem like you know this place well.
Copy !req
94. Can you take us?
Copy !req
95. Did you not hear what I just said
about trusting people?
Copy !req
96. Well, yeah,
but you said that while saving us.
Copy !req
97. So, you can't be all bad. What do you say?
Copy !req
98. Excuse us for one moment.
Copy !req
99. You sure about this, Adora?
Copy !req
100. All the scary people
are scared of Huntara,
Copy !req
101. which is not usually a great sign.
Copy !req
102. We can just ask for a map or—
Copy !req
103. A map won't get us past the scary plants
or quicksand
Copy !req
104. or whatever else is out there.
We need a guide.
Copy !req
105. If I say no, you'll go out there
by yourselves and get killed, is that it?
Copy !req
106. I mean, not ideally, but yeah.
Copy !req
107. Looks like you've got yourselves a guide.
Copy !req
108. Great. See, guys, problem solved.
Copy !req
109. I know Hordak told me to go away,
Copy !req
110. but I have some ideas
for the portal machine.
Copy !req
111. Emily, will you cut that—?
Copy !req
112. Curious.
Copy !req
113. Okay, Emily, you might have a point.
Copy !req
114. Quietly, quietly.
Copy !req
115. Hi.
Copy !req
116. Get out.
Copy !req
117. Get out right—
Copy !req
118. So, heh, for a place that's
supposed to be uninhabitable,
Copy !req
119. the Crimson Waste sure is habited.
Copy !req
120. Crimson Waste takes in all sorts.
They come running from the law,
Copy !req
121. from their enemies,
from different kingdoms.
Copy !req
122. - From the Horde?
Copy !req
123. The war will destroy all those idiots
caught up in it.
Copy !req
124. What are you running from?
Copy !req
125. Huntara doesn't run from anything.
You got that?
Copy !req
126. I want to be here.
Copy !req
127. Wait.
Copy !req
128. Huh. Not bad, Blondie.
Copy !req
129. What can I say? I'm a fast learner.
Copy !req
130. Cocky. Heh. I like that.
Copy !req
131. Give it some time, you'll do well here.
Copy !req
132. No, thanks.
Copy !req
133. This has been a really terrible,
snake-filled day.
Copy !req
134. Honestly, I don't know
what we would've done without you.
Copy !req
135. - We should say something.
- No, we are supporting her. Now, shh.
Copy !req
136. - You shush. Shh.
- Shh.
Copy !req
137. - No, you. Quiet.
- What? You.
Copy !req
138. Your travel companions are loud.
Copy !req
139. Ha. Well, it's been a long trip
from Bright Moon.
Copy !req
140. Bright Moon?
Copy !req
141. Listen, I know my tracker pad
isn't working,
Copy !req
142. but I'm sure we're going the wrong way,
a different way than we'd been going.
Copy !req
143. We wouldn't be going anywhere
without Huntara.
Copy !req
144. - This is probably just a shortcut.
- We're here.
Copy !req
145. Uh...
Copy !req
146. We're where?
Copy !req
147. This can't be the center
of the Crimson Waste.
Copy !req
148. There's nothing here.
There has to be something here.
Copy !req
149. I was so sure. The message said—
Copy !req
150. What?
Copy !req
151. - Adora.
Copy !req
152. For the honor of...
Copy !req
153. Paralyzing darts.
Copy !req
154. But you probably figured that out,
being a fast learner and all.
Copy !req
155. Outsiders are a risk to all of us.
Copy !req
156. I did tell you
not to trust anyone, Blondie.
Copy !req
157. Ta-da! I made you soup.
Soup always makes me feel better.
Copy !req
158. Okay, I know one big soup
is probably better,
Copy !req
159. - but they're so cute.
Copy !req
160. I am not discussing this.
Copy !req
161. Your armor,
Copy !req
162. - it's holding you together.
- It is none of your concern.
Copy !req
163. You're from another planet.
That thing in the vitrine looks like you.
Copy !req
164. You've got tech
compensating for your body.
Copy !req
165. As a scientist, I'm not going to stop
until I figure out what's going on.
Copy !req
166. Now, tell me everything.
Copy !req
167. You wanna know what I am?
Copy !req
168. I am a clone.
Copy !req
169. A clone of the Emperor
of the Known Universe.
Copy !req
170. Horde Prime.
Copy !req
171. Horde Prime cloned himself,
building an army to conquer all he saw.
Copy !req
172. Planets, worlds, galaxies fell before us.
Copy !req
173. I was his top general.
Copy !req
174. But there was a defect in my cloning,
Copy !req
175. and defects are worthless to Prime.
Copy !req
176. I was sent to die on the front lines.
Copy !req
177. But during battle, a portal opened
and sent me crashing to Etheria.
Copy !req
178. Stranding me here.
Copy !req
179. With nothing but a broken ship,
I built an empire.
Copy !req
180. When my portal opens,
I shall bring forth my brothers' armies
Copy !req
181. to crush the Rebellion.
Copy !req
182. And Horde Prime will see
that he was wrong.
Copy !req
183. I am not a defect.
Copy !req
184. I am worth something.
Copy !req
185. But my portal machine does not work.
Copy !req
186. I haven't conquered the planet.
Copy !req
187. I could not even clone
a new body for myself.
Copy !req
188. Perhaps—
Copy !req
189. Perhaps Prime was right.
Copy !req
190. - I am a failure.
Copy !req
191. Oh, no, no, no. I'm listening.
I heard you.
Copy !req
192. I've got an idea, but I need my tools.
Be right back.
Copy !req
193. Okay, ninth time's the charm.
Copy !req
194. Everyone, hold on. One, two...
Copy !req
195. Bow, are you okay?
Copy !req
196. Luckily, everyone landing on my ribs
distracts from the other bruises.
Copy !req
197. I'll get it this time. Hold on.
Copy !req
198. I'm sick of this.
Copy !req
199. We've been tricked, robbed,
temporarily paralyzed.
Copy !req
200. - Now we're stuck here in the middle of—
- Glimmer.
Copy !req
201. I mean, I'm so glad
we finally got out of there.
Copy !req
202. Adora?
Copy !req
203. Having this mission
made me feel in control.
Copy !req
204. After the last few days,
Copy !req
205. I really needed it. I needed answers.
Copy !req
206. I thought if I found out more about Mara,
I'd find out more about myself,
Copy !req
207. where I came from and why.
Copy !req
208. And we'll still get those answers.
We're not beat yet.
Copy !req
209. Sure, this road trip
has been kind of a disaster.
Copy !req
210. Pretty standard for us.
Copy !req
211. But we know you're going through a lot,
and we've got your back,
Copy !req
212. whatever you need to do.
Copy !req
213. Besides, it's not like you stole
our weapons and left us stranded.
Copy !req
214. - It's Huntara.
- Exactly. It's Huntara's fault.
Copy !req
215. No. It's Huntara.
Copy !req
216. Ooh, this is gonna be so much fun.
Copy !req
217. I do not need your help in this.
Copy !req
218. Everybody needs help sometimes.
Copy !req
219. And you shouldn't be upset
that you're not perfect. Take Emily.
Copy !req
220. Her programming is glitchy,
the left leg sticks, and she's loud.
Copy !req
221. Emily's got quirks,
but that's why I like her.
Copy !req
222. Imperfection is what makes
scientific experimentation possible.
Copy !req
223. Imperfection is beautiful.
Copy !req
224. At least to me.
Copy !req
225. Stand here.
Copy !req
226. And you're really way too obsessed
with this whole failure thing.
Copy !req
227. - I mean, I'm a failure. Shh.
- You are not a—
Copy !req
228. I don't fit in.
Copy !req
229. I became friends with Adora,
but she abandoned me.
Copy !req
230. Then I became friends with Catra,
but she doesn't talk to me anymore.
Copy !req
231. But that doesn't mean I give up.
Copy !req
232. I scrounged up more pieces
of First Ones Tech,
Copy !req
233. and I can't think of
a better use for it than this.
Copy !req
234. Ta-da!
Copy !req
235. Your armor is more of an exoskeleton now.
Copy !req
236. The tech compensating
for your organic body.
Copy !req
237. What does it feel like?
Copy !req
238. Powerful.
Copy !req
239. I—
Copy !req
240. I acknowledge the work you put into this.
Copy !req
241. It is very
Copy !req
242. technologically sound.
Copy !req
243. Uh... No matter what you say,
you are not a failure.
Copy !req
244. - Any who discount you are utter fools.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
245. I like being friends with you, too.
Copy !req
246. What do you think this one does?
Copy !req
247. Stop messing around.
Copy !req
248. Come on, we're just having fun.
Copy !req
249. Didn't you see the shock
on those outsiders' faces?
Copy !req
250. Oh, look at this.
Copy !req
251. I think Huntara liked them.
Copy !req
252. Are you feeling guilty?
Copy !req
253. I did what I had to to keep us all safe.
Copy !req
254. You mean, keep yourself safe.
Copy !req
255. You act so tough,
Copy !req
256. but you're running scared from something,
just like the rest of us.
Copy !req
257. I don't run away from anything.
I am Huntara of the Crimson Waste.
Copy !req
258. Nice. I'm Princess Glimmer of Bright Moon,
and I sparkle.
Copy !req
259. That's mine.
Copy !req
260. Then come and take it.
Copy !req
261. That's mine.
Copy !req
262. Then come and take it.
Copy !req
263. Ha!
Copy !req
264. Quick, time for She-Ra.
Copy !req
265. Wait. You know about She-Ra?
Copy !req
266. Know about She-Ra?
Copy !req
267. I am She-Ra.
Copy !req
268. For the honor of Grayskull.
Copy !req
269. She-Ra is a person?
Copy !req
270. Where did you hear about She-Ra?
Copy !req
271. After all, it's not like it's something
they teach you in the Horde.
Copy !req
272. I was a Horde soldier.
Copy !req
273. They told us we were heroes
freeing Etheria from the evil Princesses.
Copy !req
274. But when I saw what we were doing,
how Hordak just threw soldiers away.
Copy !req
275. Well, you know what we saw.
You were one of us.
Copy !req
276. That's where you learned to fight,
isn't it?
Copy !req
277. - I'd recognize that training anywhere.
- You deserted. I did, too.
Copy !req
278. - And I joined the Rebellion.
- Then you're a fool.
Copy !req
279. One girl can't make a difference
against the Horde,
Copy !req
280. even a tall shiny girl like you.
Copy !req
281. - It's useless to try.
- Maybe, but I'm not alone.
Copy !req
282. I won't stand by
and watch people get hurt.
Copy !req
283. And I won't run away.
Copy !req
284. Huntara, I need your help.
Copy !req
285. I need you to help us find
what we came for.
Copy !req
286. Together, we can all bring this war
to an end.
Copy !req
287. You need to drop your weapons.
Copy !req
288. Come on, Huntara,
let's grab our loot and go.
Copy !req
289. You're right. What I saw in the Horde
scared me, and I ran.
Copy !req
290. But I'm not gonna run anymore.
Copy !req
291. I face my problems head-on.
Copy !req
292. And if you're trying to stop the war,
Copy !req
293. then I will do what I can to help you.
Copy !req
294. Come on. We've got lots of ground to cover
before we reach the ship.
Copy !req
295. What ship?
Copy !req
296. Adora...
Copy !req
297. what is that?
Copy !req
298. It's—
Copy !req
299. It's Mara's ship.
Copy !req
