The Sea Gate

Council, we're looking for plans to strengthen our defenses against the Horde.

{\an8}-Who would like to go first? -Me, me, me. Me. Me, me.

{\an8}Who besides Glimmer would like to go first?

{\an8}Mom-- Uh, Your Majesty.

{\an8}You should let me, Bow and Adora continue our princess recruitment mission.

{\an8}If we can form a new Princess Alliance,

{\an8}the Rebellion would actually stand a chance for once.

{\an8}The princesses withdrew from the last alliance.

{\an8}They chose to focus on protecting their lands.

{\an8}So, are we supposed to just give up? Please, let me try.

{\an8}All I'm proposing is a diplomatic mission.

{\an8}So, what do you propose?

Anyone approaching Bright Moon by sea needs to pass through the Salineas Sea Gate.

{\an8}It's controlled by Princess Mermista now that her father's retired.

{\an8}With her on our side, the Rebellion could control the seas.

We need this alliance with her, Mom.

The journey is treacherous, Glimmer. I'm not sure.

Don't worry, Mom. With She-Ra, we can conquer anything.

Uh, we're also gonna need a boat.

With She-Ra and a boat, we can conquer anything.

-And an experienced sea captain. -[grumbles]

With She-Ra, a boat, and an experienced sea captain, we can conquer anything.

[Angella] Very well.

[gasps] Yes.

I mean it, Glimmer. No violence, and no collateral damage.

Thanks, Mom, you won't regret it.

[grunting]

[laughing]

Go fish.

This is so cool. Seaworthy is just like I imagined it.

-Everyone here looks like a pirate. -Focus, Bow.

-We're here to find a sea captain. -No pirates?

-No pirates. -Arr.

None of these people look qualified to sail a ship.

Excuse me. [chuckles]

Uh, we're looking for a sea captain to take us to Salineas.

[grunting]

[Sea Hawk] I won. Drinks all around. Put it on my friend here's tab.

Uh, hi.

-We were told you're a sea captain? -I am the one and only Sea Hawk.

-Has my reputation preceded me? -Your name is Sea Hawk?

That's the coolest name I've ever heard!

Captain Sea Hawk, we're interviewing potential captains to take us to Salineas.

-Would you like to apply for the position? -[laughing]

Apply for the position? I am the one and only Sea Hawk.

-I'm offer only. -Okay.

Just because "Sea" is in your name, it doesn't tell us anything about your actual qualifications.

Qualifications? I once ran the 50-klick Galebreath Gauntlet in less than 20 klicks.

I maneuvered the Serpentine with nary a chip in the paint of my bow.

My shanties are considered so desirable, that sirens fling themselves into sea at the sound of them.

And because I can tell you're wondering, my mustache is naturally shiny.

It is shiny.

You're hired. Ow.

Whoa there, kids. What makes you think you can afford me?

I assure you, Captain Sea Hawk, money is no object.

Behold my fee.

[gasps]

Money might be an object.

You know what? Fine. We'll just find another sea captain.

Good luck with that.

You won't find another soul who knows the treacherous route to Salineas as well as I do.

I brave it often to visit my close personal friend, Princess Mermista.

-[gasps] You know her? -Do I?

[Adora laughing]

Okay. Well, here's the deal. We go one round, winner takes all.

You win, we leave you alone. I win, you take us to Salineas. At no cost.

That's a terrible deal. But I am undefeated at arm wrestling.

Let me show you how it's done, lassie.

[both grunting]

-Go, Adora. Put him in the dirt. -This is so dumb.

Ha! This is the best you've got?

I once beat a Tyrosaur with biceps the size of my head in an arm-wrestling match that lasted two weeks.

-Ha! -Yeah! [chuckles]

Well, truth be told, I let you win so as to, ahem, boost your confidence.

I've been wanting to go to Salineas anyway.

Come on, kids, with me! Forward to adventure!

[Shadow Weaver] Adora is in Seaworthy.

I'll give you one more chance to bring her back.

Uh, didn't Hordak just order you to stop going after Adora?

And who is going to tell him? You?

Fine. About time you start treating me like a Force Captain anyway. I'll bring her back.

Not so fast.

You won't be going alone.

You'll be joined by Force Captain Scorpia.

-Kitty. Just so you know, I'm a hugger. -Huh? What?

[grunting]

Is this some kind of joke?

[Shadow Weaver] Scorpia will see that you are kept in line.

Ugh. Okay, whatever.

You're at least giving me a vehicle, right?

Something like that.

No.

Not boats.

Oh, I just love boats. Don't you? Wind in your hair, ocean on every side, miles and miles from the nearest dry land, watery death awaiting at the slightest mishap.

-Man, that's what I call living. -[shrieks]

Yeah, I'm really gonna need you to shut up.

Aw. You're seasick?

[groaning]

-Just focus on me, okay? It'll help. -Put me down!

What is wrong with you?

What are you looking at? Get back to doing boat things.

Welcome aboard the Dragon's Daughter, Three.

[scoffs] What happened to the Dragon's Daughters One and Two?

Tragically, they went down in flames.

-How did that happen? -I set them on fire.

-Adventure! -Are we sure about this guy?

He just needs to get us there.

You'll of course  be expected to earn your keep by helping out around the ship.

Never fear, I'll teach you everything you need to know in shanty form.

Oh!

-What are you doing? -Oh.

I noticed your mainsail wasn't secured, so I fixed it.

Tying proper knots is a task that takes years to master.

-You did these just now? -Yes.

Sea Hawk is impressed with my knots. This is the best day of my life.

Excellent work, even if it is just beginner's luck.

We'll also need to set a lookout.

Come on, Sparkle, we'll sing a shanty duet and I'll show you how to climb the ratlines.

Oh! [gasps]

-Wait, how did she--? -[Adora] I unfurled the jib.

By yourself? Not even a sailor as experienced as me could do that.

Oh, so what you're saying is, I'm better at this than you are?

And the name is Glimmer.

Well, you are a strangely overqualified crew.

-What do you even need old Sea Hawk for? -Your map?

Can we focus on our super important mission here?

More sailing, less shanty-ing.

Of course, Shimmer.

A top secret mission from the queen. I'll get you there straight away.

I'm as excited to see my dearest Mermista as I know she is to see me.

My name is Glimmer!

Oh!

[laughs] Adventure.

Something's wrong.

According to the map, we're way off-course.

[Bow] Yeah!

-[grunting] -Whoo!

-Let's go. Go, Adora. -Yes.

-Yeah! -Best three out of five.

No. No more arm wrestling. I spotted a ship graveyard in the distance and we're heading straight for it. Is anyone worried about this?

[crashing]

What was that?

Aha! We're here.

[gasps, then yells]

The Serpent of the Sea. I knew he'd be lurking in these waters.

Wait, you brought us here on purpose?

See, I don't just provide transport. I give you a tale to tell your friends.

Come on, crew, we're in for a harrowing adventure.

[roaring]

[Adora] For the Honor of Grayskull.

Watch this!

[yelling]

-Is that a normal thing she does? -Yeah.

-It takes some getting used to. -Got it. Wait, no.

Let me get this straight.

You steered us into a giant sea serpent so you could, what, show off?

That was the plan before your tall friend there stole my thunder!

Unbelievable.

We're trying to save Etheria and all you care about is whether or not we're impressed with you?

I need this mission to go right, or my mom will never give me another!

[grunts] Just get us to Salineas. You've wasted enough of our time.

-Okay. Now I got it. We're all good. -Adora, get in the boat!

-Why have we stopped? -Sea Gate is blocking our path.

-There's no way past, Force Captain Catra. -What?

[grunts]

Shadow Weaver didn't bother to mention that there was a massive gate blocking the way to Seaworthy?

Didn't you learn about the Salineas Sea Gate in Force Captain Orientation?

-There's a Force Captain Orientation? -[Scorpia] Oh, yes, there is.

-[groans] -[laughing]

All hands on deck!

We're finding a way through that gate.

Ooh, impressive captain yell.

Where is everyone?

Hmm. Very odd indeed. If I know the Princess Mermista,

-and I do, something's amiss. -Halt! Halt! Halt, I say.

Halt.

What's your business in Salineas?

We've come to speak with Princess Mermista.

Tell her Sea Hawk is with them. She'll be excited to see me.

-Ew, who let him back in here? -[Sea Hawk] Princess.

Oh, it's been too long.

I've dreamed of you night and day since we parted.

Uh-huh. And who are you?

My name is Glimmer of Bright Moon.

We've never met, but our parents fought in the Rebellion together.

Oh, yeah.

I remember hearing about the old Princess Alliance.

My dad said it was a total disaster.

I didn't think it was possible, but your beauty grows greater with each passing day.

Will you quit it? I'm trying to talk to my new friend Twinkle.

-Butler, bring us some hors d'oeuvres. -Ooh, hors d'oeuvres!

-For everyone but Sea Hawk. -Your guard is also your butler?

I'm a little understaffed right now.

Everybody fled because the gate is falling apart or whatever.

[all] What?

Yeah, I know, right? It figures I'd inherit a kingdom that's crumbling, but it's totally fine. I'm handling it.

It's just kind of inconvenient, because the Horde won't stop attacking us.

Why is the gate falling apart?

I mean, who knows? But it's getting weaker every day.

And if the Horde tries to attack us again, we're pretty much dead.

The Horde is the reason we're here.

We want to rebuild the Princess Alliance.

None of us stand a chance on our own, but we might be able to stop them together.

[chuckles] Sure, because that went so great the first time.

Why should I help Bright Moon?

It's not like they've ever done anything to help us.

Mermista, if I may.

No. No more shanties.

Why did you bring him here? He is so annoying!

-I thought you'd said she liked you. -We have a rich, complicated past.

If by that you mean you got us kicked out of the Dolphin Social for challenging the doorman to a duel, then sure.

I don't recall doing that.

And that time you set our gondola on fire in the Tunnel of Love.

[chuckling]

That I do recall.

This is First Ones' writing.

And who is she again? What is she doing?

That's Adora. She has a magic sword.

What does it say?

Uh, it's something about the gate.

The First Ones must've built it. Looks like the gate gets its power from the Salinean Runestone.

It could be that the gate is failing because It's losing its connection to the power source.

-You think you can fix it? -I can try.

Look, Mermista. You need our help and we need yours.

If Adora can repair your gate, will you consider joining us? Please?

[groans] I don't know. I guess.

But he has to leave.

But where am I supposed to go?

Maybe wait with the boat, okay, buddy? We'll take care of the gate.

[Mermista] I really hope you know what you're doing.

Uh... Yeah, totally. [chuckles] I got this.

For the Honor of Grayskull!

Wow. Okay. That's different.

-Is it working? -[gasps]

Don't distract me. This is a lot harder than it looks.

[She-Ra grunting]

[yawns] This might take a while.

[groans] Hang on.

-Where are you going? -[gasps]

I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop doing that.

-Are you leaving without us? -It's for the best.

I'm only getting in your way.

It's time for old Sea Hawk to be where he belongs, alone.

It wasn't always like this. Where I'm from, I had friends, a crew.

Every day an adventure more daring than the last.

The fact I kept setting my boats on fire was considered charming.

But here, I can't even get anyone to take me seriously.

Yeah. I know a little about that. I can't get anyone to take me seriously either.

You? But you're a princess.

Try being the daughter of an immortal queen when your powers are sparkles.

-Glitter... -Glimmer.

...we've just met, but I can tell you are a brave and powerful soul.

Anyone who'd underestimate you would live to sorely regret it.

Thanks, Sea Hawk. And you know what? You still have friends and a crew.

Reporting for duty, captain.

Uh... Adora?

-It's the Horde. -What?

[shouts]

Keep us going full speed. I've got something more important to do.

-They're coming right for the gate. -[groaning]

I just need a little more time. Keep them busy.

[grunting]

Oh, come on.

[grunting and shouting]

Oh. You're big.

See you.

[yelling]

Gotcha.

Sea Hawk.

Bow, are you all right?

That was amazing!

Thank you for noticing, Bow. It was amazing.

Nothing's slowing them down. What do we do?

I think I have a plan.

But no one is allowed to tell my mom about this.

Sea Hawk, I need your help.

-I need you to do what you do best. -What?

Set your ship on fire.

Yes.

[grunting]

[Catra laughs] Wow.

You know, the tiara actually gets stupider the more I look at it.

Catra, how did you find me?

Did you think it'd be that easy to escape the Horde?

I mean, I always knew you were dumb, but come on.

What's your plan, insult me until I decide to rejoin the Horde?

I don't think Shadow Weaver is planning to give you much of a choice, but, yeah, something like that.

Check it out. Looks like with you gone, I got your promotion.

Congratulations.

Seems like only yesterday this was the thing you wanted most in the world.

And now you're--

[groans] Come on, Adora, hasn't this all gone on long enough?

I told you before, Catra, I'm not going back.

[grunting and shouting]

This is what you left me for? Dress-up games and a light show?

And your new best friends are nowhere to be seen. When did you get so weak?

Whoo!

-Thanks. -Yeah, whatever, don't mention it.

[Sea Hawk] Ha-ha!

[both] Adventure!

What the heck?

[all yelling]

Yeah!

[grunting]

[Mermista] Yay, that was cool. I'm over it, though.

[sighs]

-What do you know? You actually fixed it. -It's beautiful.

I guess you're gonna be needing a new ship.

[groans] I suppose you can have one of mine.

[gasping]

-She's gorgeous. -Don't set it on fire.

No promises. But, Princess, if I might ask for one more favor.

[groans] You're always ruining it.

You should think about joining Glimmer's Princess Alliance.

She is a brave and strong captain.

With her at the helm, she is sure to lead the Rebellion to victory.

Aw, Sea Hawk. You even got my name right.

-Okay, I'm in. -Really?

Yeah. The Horde almost destroyed my home. I wanna help fight them.

Plus, your friend over there can turn into a 8-foot tall lady with a sword and I want her on my side.

-Yes, huzzah! -Yeah! Oh, yes!

-Wow, okay, calm down. -You won't regret this, I promise.
