(1985) (From the Wiki GraySkull page)
(Also in progress: fan made version of the non existent episode "The Silaxian Wars")
Huntara is a member of the Silaxians, a group of skilled
hunters, trappers, and warriors dedicated to fighting evil. Huntara was at
first convinced by Hordak that She-Ra and the Rebellion were evil by showing
her false videos. He sent her to fight and capture She-Ra after his minions had
failed to do so. Huntara insisted that she fight She-Ra alone and later lured
her into a trap by capturing Glimmer. She then told She-Ra to meet her at the
Crimson Waste to fight, leaving a message with Garv the Innkeeper. She-Ra
eventually won the long battle, disarming Huntara. Following the Silaxian code
of honor, Huntara turned herself over to She-Ra as a slave, but She-Ra told her
that she did not keep slaves. Eventually, Huntara realized that Hordak had
deceived her. Though Huntara released Glimmer from prison, the three were
knocked out and taken to the Fright Zone. While there, Hordak planned to throw
her in the dungeon for failing to capture She-Ra. However, Huntara used her
smoke bombs to escape and free She-Ra and Glimmer. The group soon fled the
fortress. Huntara later boarded her space ship to fly home, saying that the
next time they would meet, it would be as friends.
Originally, Huntara was also supposed to be in another
episode called "The Silaxian Wars" but it never went into production.
"Huntara" (1985)
Under a dark golden sky
filled with smoke and pollution, a spidery array of metal made up what was
known as the Fright Zone. Orange lava colored light glowed through several
openings and the structure as a whole resembled a twisted factory of sorts. The
bat symbol of the Horde was prominent against circular red light on the
structure.
Inside the building, Lord
Hordak had finished watching a holographic video of the recent battle on a
screen. Beside Hordak in her usual scarlet cloak was the dark sorceress Shadow
Weaver. Hordak’s tall metal throne turned around to face his minions, who were
standing nervously at attention at the bottom of the stairs.
“Well,” he said, “You’ve
all seen the hollowed out pictures of your pitiful attempts at taking She-Ra.
What do you have to say for yourselves?”
A hairy gorilla-like
minion by the name of Grizzlor stood in the back next to a reptile minion named
Leech. Mantenna, a minion with an orange snake-like head with big flappy ears
looked utterly terrified. Scorpia, a woman with pinchers for hands, short
orange hair, a black outfit and a long scorpion tail, glared at him and he
shrunk back in fear. Catra stood a fair distance away in her usual tattered red
dress and cat shaped headpiece, her hair long and dark. All of them were
wearing uniforms with the red bat symbol of the Horde on them.
Hordak was not pleased.
“What? Not one among you
has an excuse?”
Just then, his small blue
imp pet laughed. “What a bunch of wimps, huh boss?”
Catra growled with a meow
in her voice. “I’d like to turn that imp into a door knocker.”
“I’d be glad to help
you,” Scorpia added.
“Silence!” ordered
Hordak. “Forged science and magic have turned you into the greatest force squad
ever to destroy a planet…”
“The greatest!” Imp
added, jumping into the air.
“…and yet, all of you
together cannot beat a single woman.”
“Yeah, a single woman!”
Imp mimicked, landing his blue fist down like Hordak did.
“You’re all fools!”
“Fools!”
“Dolts!”
“Dolts!”
Hordak didn’t seem to
mind that Imp was repeating what he said.
In fact, Hordak praised
the troublemaking creature next. “Why can’t you all be more like Imp here? He
knows how to get a job done!”
Imp grinned with pride.
Leech and Grizzlor looked
on with glares.
“Being more like him?”
Leech asked through a series of slurps. “What a depressing thought.”
“Now, where was I?”
Hordak asked to himself.
“I believe you were
talking about dolts,” Shadow Weaver mentioned.
“Right, dolts!” Hordak
exclaimed. “Thanks to your failures, Horde Prime is displeased. And I don’t
like it when the ruler of Horde world is displeased. It’s time to bring in
someone more competent. That’s why I contact the planet of Silax.”
“Silax?” Shadow Weaver
asked in surprise. “That’s not part of the Horde Empire!”
“No,” Hordak replied. “In
fact, they don’t really know much about us. But I know about them. Silaxians
are the greatest warriors, hunters, and trappers in the universe, and I’ve sent
for their very best to handle She-Ra for us.”
“When does this outsider arrive?” Catra asked
suspiciously.
“Today. And if she succeeds, you’ll spend the
rest of your time here cleaning garbage bins…with very tiny brushes!”
Hordak laughed evilly at
the sight of Catra and Scorpia’s looks of horror and disgust.
Meanwhile at the
Rebellion camp, Adora and her friends were relaxing outside by a campfire.
“Ah, it’s been awfully quiet lately,” Bow
mentioned, his hair orange and body muscular.
Kowl, an owl-like
creature hovered nearby. “Yes. What’s wrong with that? I like things quiet and
peaceful.”
Adora walked over, her
hair thick and blonde. “So do I. But I get worried when the Horde isn’t trying
to make our lives miserable.”
“Well I say let’s enjoy ourselves while we
can,” said Kowl.
Adora paused in thought.
“Maybe you’re right, Kowl. If the Horde is planning something, we’ll know soon
enough.”
Later on that day, a
sleek slender spacecraft landed on a metal pod close to the building in the
Fright Zone. Hordak and Shadow Weaver watched the ship land and the top window
open.
“Now we will see if what they say about these
Silaxians is true,” said Hordak.
A lavender-skinned
muscular woman appeared from the silver metallic spaceship, with a long white
braid of hair down her back.
“I am Huntara,” said a
low gruff voice. The woman removed her black face mask, revealing her lavender
face, white hair and mostly bald forehead. Her forehead was wide and
militaristic in appearance. Three lines were tattooed over both sides of her
face, like tribal symbols. She wore blue armor shoulder pads, a black thick bra
and dark undergarments. Gold gauntlets protected her arms. She also wore blue
armored boots and a high blue pocketed skirt.
“Which one of you is
Hordak?” she asked.
“I am Hordak,” he said.
“Welcome to Etheria, Huntara. It is a great honor to…”
“I’m not here for pretty
speeches,” Huntara interrupted before leaping from her ship and landing
gracefully on the metal ground. “You have asked for help. I am here to give you
that help. But first, you must prove to me that this She-Ra is as evil…as you
say.”
“She-Ra, evil?” asked
Leech.
“I thought we were the
evil ones,” Grizzlor added.
“Oooh she’s evil
alright,” Hordak lied. “…and I’ve got the proof. If you’ll just allow my troopers
to escort you to my throne room, I’ll show it to you.”
“Very well. Let us go,”
said Huntara, proceeding to leave by herself.
Shadow Weaver looked at
Hordak. “How can you convince her that
She-Ra is as evil as you say?”
Hordak replied. “I’ve had
some false hollowed in pictures made. They make She-Ra look totally evil.
Huntara will believe them, even if they are all lies.” He laughed evilly.
In the throne room, the
video clips showed a Horde convoy of metal vehicles moving on a path by a green
field.
Hordak lied, “This convoy
was carrying medicine to a village beset by plane. She-Ra and her rebels
attacked it. She destroyed it completely.”
The screen showed Bow and
the others charging forward. Soon, one of the convoy cars flipped over and
exploding. She-Ra threw another into the air, causing it to explode on the
ground.
“…and without the medicine, all the people of
the village grew sick.”
Huntara placed her
fingers on her chin in thought. “She is powerful.”
“Yes,” said Hordak. “Now look at this.”
The screen switched to
show a village burning and people running for cover. The roofs on the houses
were on fire and villagers scattered in every direction. She-Ra appeared with a
small smirk.
Hordak lied some more,
“This was a town that refused to join She-Ra’s Rebellion. She ordered it burned
to the ground.”
“I don’t remember She-Ra doing all that,”
Grizzlor pointed out.
“Now here…”
“I have seen enough, Hordak,” Huntara cut in.
“I will battle this She-Ra.”
Hordak grinned.
“Excellent!”
“But there is a condition.”
“Name it.”
“The battle must be between me and She-Ra
alone. None of your hordes men must interfere.”
Hordak was taken aback,
“Are you sure? You’ve seen just how strong she is.
Huntara glared coldly.
“She-Ra and me alone. That is the way of the warriors of Silax.”
Hordak reluctantly nodded
as Huntara walked away. “If that’s the way you want it. But how will you get
She-Ra to accept your challenge?”
“Has she any friends?” she asked.
Hordak stood up. “As a
matter of fact she has many.” Then he stuttered, covering up his lie, following
her. “Oh of course, they’re all as evil as she is, but she is loyal to them.”
Thus Huntara found out
about the members of the Rebellion and one member in particular, Glimmer.
Catra growled again. “I
don’t like that woman.”
Scorpia glared back at
her. “As much as I hate to agree with you, I agree with you.”
(Glimmer flies in a
yellow butterfly shaped plane. Huntara spies on her through binoculars at her
ship.)
Huntara: “At last. The
bait I have chosen for my trap leaves her nest. Now to catch her.”
(Huntara chases after her
in her silver slender spaceship).
(Glimmer gasps “What?!”
as Huntara fires green lasers at her ship)
Glimmer: “I don’t know
who that is, but they won’t get me so easily.”
(Glimmer flies around
behind Huntara’s ship)
Huntara: “A smart move.
But my tail beamers will bring her down.”
(Cockpit screen beeps as
it locks onto her target. The back beams fire, making impact with Glimmer’s
ship. The ship falls and crashes.)
(Glimmer slowly gets up.)
Glimmer: “That was not one of my better landings.”
(Huntara stands over her,
looking down.)
Huntara: “Now, all that’s
left is to deliver my challenge to She-Ra.”
(Huntara captures Glimmer
and holds her in a glass capsule)
Back at the Rebellion
camp, She-Ra makes plans with Bow, pointing to maps.
Bow: “The next Horde tax
collector, should come through here.”
Adora: “We’d better start
planning.”
Grav the Innkeeper: “Adora!
Adora…a woman came into the inn and demanded I bring you this.”
(Adora holds a black
device in her hand)
Grav: “Yes, she said it
was for She-Ra and if she doesn’t get it, Glimmer will be in great danger.”
She-Ra: “Who was this
woman?”
Grav: “I’ve never seen
her before but I will tell you this…she made my blood run cold.”
Adora: “Oh thank you
Garv. We’ll get this to She-Ra.”
Adora: “I think we’d
better take a look at this message.”
Bow: “But if it’s for
She-Ra?”
Adora: “If Glimmers in
danger, I don’t think She-Ra will object.”
(Adora presses a button, activating
the message. Holographic images of Huntara appears)
Huntara sends a message
to She-Ra.
“I am Huntara. Listen
well, She-Ra. I have your friend, Glimmer. This device you see is a dimensional
transporter. If you do not meet me in battle by the time the sun is at its
highest, I will use it to send Glimmer to a place from which she will never
return. We will meet at Tomb Rock in the Crimson Waste. You must come alone. If
you bring help or fail to come, Glimmer will pay the price. Defeat me and I
promise she will go free. Until we cross swords. Farewell, evil one.”
Bow: “Evil one? That’s
something coming from the member of the Horde.”
Adora: “She doesn’t look
like a member of the Horde. But whether she is or isn’t, we need She-Ra right
away.”
Meanwhile in Scorpia’s
lair in the desert…
(Scorpia and Catra argue)
Scorpia: “Hmph! Why
should I?”
Catra: “If Huntara beats She-Ra, we’ll all be
cleaning garbage bins!”
Scorpia: “You have a
point there. Alright, what’s your plan?”
Catra: “We’ll take your
Crawler, and watch the battle from hiding. Then we’ll take care of whoever
wins.”
Scorpia: “Very well. I
don’t like you much, but I’d rather have you as the Force Captain than that
arrogant witch Huntara.”
Adora: “For the honor of
Grayskull!”
(Adora transforms into
She-Ra)
“I am She-Ra!”
(Spirit transforms into
SwiftWind)
She-Ra: “There’s Tomb
Rock. Fly low, and I’ll drop off.”
SwiftWind: “Please be
careful.”
She-Ra: “I will be.”
(She-Ra lands safely on
the ledge.)
(She-Ra and Huntara get
ready to fight in the desert)
She-Ra: “Huntara, I’m
here.”
Huntara: “Welcome,
She-Ra. I am Huntara.”
(Huntara stands above on
a ledge)
Huntara: “Hordak was
right. As evil as you are, you still come to help a friend.”
She-Ra: “Hordak? Listen,
I don’t know what he’s told you but…”
Huntara: “Spare me your
lies, town burner. Our battle will begin in those hills.”
(She points to the hills
to the right)
She-Ra: “Fighting doesn’t
solve anything. If you’ll only tell me
why you’re doing this…”
Huntara: “Huh. (scoffs)
So you are something of a coward. I should have expected it. But this is one
fight you cannot avoid.”
She-Ra: “If you’re so
eager to fight, let’s start right here.”
(She-Ra jumps, flips in
the air and lands on the ledge, facing Huntara)
Huntara: “You
take…opportunity quickly. I good trait for a warrior.”
(Huntara takes out a
silver sphere from her pocket and throws it at She-Ra. She-Ra is blinded by the
flash grenade and Huntara escapes. She-Ra looks around.)
She-Ra: “She’s gone.”
Huntara: “The hills,
She-Ra. I will see you in the hills.”
(Huntara leaps away)
She-Ra: “She’s clever. I
can’t let her get too far ahead.”
(She-Ra leaps after her.
She flips in mid-air and lands on the sandy ground. Huntara runs off, with
She-Ra following.)
(Catra and Scorpia watch
from their scorpion tank)
Scorpia; “It’s started!”
Catra: “Quick, let’s
follow them!”
Huntara: “Come on,
She-Ra…just a little farther…”
(She-Ra walks on the
ground)
She-Ra: “She’s got to be
around here somewhere.”
(Huntara watches from
above and pulls out another device from her blue pocket. The device is round
and she pushes a button, which jets out spikes)
Huntara: “My exploder
star will take out the trap.”
(Huntara throws the
device at the rocks. The star explodes against the rock, which soon collapses.
She-Ra: “An avalanche!”
(She-Ra is buried under
the rocky rubble)
Huntara: “Can she be
trapped so easily? Perhaps I overestimated her strength.”
(Huntara soon looks in
surprise as She-Ra flies from the rubble and sits on a rubble arch.)
She-Ra: “What’s the
matter, Huntara? Never seen an instant tunnel before?”
Huntara: “You are a
worthy opponent. But I am even better.”
She-Ra: “Prove it!”
(Huntara throws a blue
bomb, which She-Ra avoids and jumps out of the way. She flips and lands safely
on the ledge)
She-Ra: “Phew.”
(She-Ra looks around)
She-Ra: “She’s gone
again. But where?”
(She-Ra spots a figure in
the distance)
She-Ra: “There she is.
And it looks like she’s got another little ambush planned. But this time, I’ll
surprise her!”
(She-Ra leaps from the
ledge at a standing black hooded figure)
She-Ra: “Ha!...”
(She-Ra holds nothing but
a black cloth in her hand)
She-Ra: “Why, nothing but
a trick!”
(Cage walls enclose her)
She-Ra: “This cage won’t
hold me.”
Huntara: “It will hold
you long enough for my sleep gas to affect you.”
(Huntara pulls out another
silver sphere)
She-Ra: “Got to move
fast!”
(She-Ra thrusts herself
against the cage, moving it and herself over to the side. The device explodes
in the previous spot. The cage breaks and she is free.)
She-Ra: “That was close.
She’s got more tricks than my brother’s friend Orko.”
(Glimmer bangs on the
glass)
Glimmer: “Why are you
doing this?”
Huntara: “Your leader,
She-Ra, is evil, and the way of Silax is dedicated to fighting evil.”
Glimmer: “She-Ra’s not
evil. It’s the Horde who’s evil.”
Huntara: “Your lies
cannot affect me. I have seen the proof of She-Ra’s foul deeds.”
Glimmer: “Wait! Come
back!”
(She-Ra looks at Glimmer
and hides behind a pillar of rock)
She-Ra: “There’s Glimmer.
But where’s Huntara? I smell a trap.”
(She-Ra walks up to
Glimmer)
She-Ra: “Have you free in
a minute, Glimmer.”
(Glimmer points above)
Glimmer: “She-Ra! Look
out!”
(Huntara leaps down from
a ledge)
Huntara: “You’ve come
far, evil one. But this is the end.”
(Huntara takes out two
glowing green swords)
Huntara: “My stun swords
will fail you, and then I’ll deliver you to Hordak.”
(She-Ra ducks from her
attacks. She-Ra jumps backward and flips in the air.)
Huntara: “You were lucky
that time, She-Ra. But I’m not through yet!”
She-Ra: “Sword to rope!”
(Sword turns into thick white
rope. She-Ra tosses the rope at Huntara, which pulls the swords from her
hands.)
Huntara: “Impossible!”
(She-Ra throws the rope
again, which binds Huntara)
Glimmer: “All right
She-Ra! You got her!”
(Huntara pulls another
device out, but She-Ra pulls her forward with the rope, the device falling from
her hands. He head is downcast in defeat. She-Ra’s rope turns back into the
sword.)
She-Ra: “It’s over,
Huntara. You’re beaten.”
Huntara: “Never have I
been defeated by an evil one. You are a great warrior, She-Ra. By the code of
Silax, I am now your slave.”
She-Ra: “The Horde takes
slaves. I don’t. As far as I’m concerned, you’re free to go, right after you
release Glimmer.”
Huntara: “I don’t
understand. You do not seem evil, and yet Hordak said…”
She-Ra: “He lied to you.
I told you that, but you wouldn’t listen.”
Huntara: “Can it be? Have
I been tricked so easily/”
She-Ra: “Don’t be too
hard on yourself. Hordak is a master of lies.”
(Huntara looks
apologetic)
Huntara: “I have wronged
you, She-Ra and shamed myself. But I swear to you, Hordak will pay for this
treachery. Come. Let us free your friend.”
(Glimmer is freed)
Glimmer: “She-Ra, look!”
(Crawler arrives with
Catra and Scorpia. The device fires sleeping gas, which knocks out the three of
them.)
Scorpia: “My scorpion
sting cannon put them all to sleep!”
Catra: “I knew we
couldn’t trust that Huntara! Let’s get them back to the Fright Zone, quick!”
At the Fright Zone,
Glimmer and She-Ra are held in a golden force, while Huntara talks to Hordak
with two robots on either side. Her hands are cuffed together.
Huntara: “You lied to me,
Hordak. She-Ra is not evil.”
Hordak: “Foolish woman!
Your childish sense of fair play has no place here on Etheria. Take her to the
dungeons. We’ll let her rot for a while.” (laughs)
(Huntara pulls out a
device and throws it forward. A smoke grenade allows her to escape)
Catra: “She’s gone!”
Hordak: “Nincompoops,
bunglers!”
Huntara: “I must free
She-Ra and Glimmer.”
(Huntara throws an
exploding star at the top of the device, making the orange energy disappear.)
She-Ra: “Hunatra’s done
it! Come on, let’s give her a hand.”
Hordak: “Stop them!”
(Robots charge forward,
while one holds all three swords. She-Ra kicks a pillar with a “Heeeyah!” which
barrels into the oncoming troopers.)
Glimmer: “Excuuuse me,
but that belongs to a friend of mine.”
(Glimmer grabs the sword
from the robot)
Glimmer: “She-Ra, catch!”
(She-Ra catches her
sword)
She-Ra: “Thanks.”
Huntara: “These chains.”
(She-Ra slashes her sword
down, breaking the handcuff chain. She takes the cuffs off.)
Huntara: “Just let me get
my swords.”
(Hunatra flips and rushes
at the frightened robot. The robot flees and Huntara catches her swords)
Hordak: “Get her, you
fools!”
Catra: “I’ll get you,
Huntara!”
Scorpia: “She’s mine!”
(Huntara jumps out of the
way, causing the two villains to crash into each other)
Hordak: “I’ll show you
got to stop them!”
(He presses an orange
square button, opening a door to reveal more troopers)
Huntara: “It seems like a
good time to depart this foul fortress.”
She-Ra: “I couldn’t agree
more.”
(The group flees and
escapes)
(Huntara stands in her
ship)
She-Ra: “You sure you won’t
stay? The Rebellion could use a fighter like you.”
Huntara: “I cannot,
She-Ra. I am needed on my own planet. But, I wish you well. Farewell, She-Ra.
When we meet again, it will be as friends.”
(Huntara pulls black mask over her face)
She-Ra: “I’ll look forward
to it.”
(Both women wave to each
other. The covering closes on the ship)
She-Ra: “She’s quite a
woman, isn’t she, Swifty?”
SwiftWind: “That she is.”
(nuzzles She-Ra.) “But then again, so are you, She-Ra. So are you.”
(Huntara flies away on
her spaceship)
(2019)
She Ra is seen shaking
Huntara’s hand, which she is not pleased. They are later seen fighting with
swords in the desert at night. Huntara is shown holding She-Ra’s sword in her
hand. Huntara appears as a de facto leader of the Crimson Waste who reluctantly
helps Adora, Bow, and Glimmer on a quest.
