00:49Four become eight, defending the Earth!
00:52Defenders of the Earth!
00:54Enders!
00:55Defenders of the Earth!
00:58�
01:25The work on my station Earth is going well, oh mighty Emperor.
01:30But much too slowly, Octon. My plans to conquer planet Earth cannot proceed until the base is completed. Order all activities accelerated.
01:40What is this interruption?
01:43A fleet of ships approaching Earth, sire.
01:46I do not recognize them. Octon, break into their code and find out who they are.
01:54At once, sire.
02:00It won't be long now. You've been saying that for the last two hours. Give me a break, LJ.
02:06Certainly a few hours is not too long to wait for the creation of Dynac X.
02:12The most advanced computer ever seen on Earth.
02:15Dynac X will be the first computer to have a human essence at its center.
02:19Father, I don't understand.
02:21It's the crystal from Ming's Inquisitor. It contains the essence of Rick's mother.
02:38Dad, it's ready.
02:40Son, Dynac X is your creation. You activate her.
02:47Hey! Maybe Dynac X can help us find a place for our new headquarters.
02:52Yeah. Mandraig's mansion is a swell place to throw a party.
02:55But it doesn't have what we need to defend the Earth.
02:58We need a real headquarters. Right, Zuffy?
03:01I'll still miss our home in the dark woods of Africa.
03:06Attention all personnel. Unidentified ships are approaching Central City.
03:11Unidentified but not unfriendly, I hope.
03:15If they're friends of me, we're in big trouble.
03:18Sire, I have picked up transmissions from the computer using Flash Gordon's code.
03:24Flash Gordon? Determine the source of the transmissions.
03:28If it is, Gordon, I will destroy the Earthman once and for all.
03:35At this time, the location of the computer is unknown.
03:40Find it!
03:41Those are Krail ships.
03:43Who are they?
03:44Old friends of mine. They're here to help us construct our new headquarters.
03:47Welcome to Earth, Morkon.
03:49We are always glad to help an old friend, Flash.
03:52Tell me, have you chosen a name for your new base?
03:56We've decided to call it Monitor.
03:58From which we will monitor the activities of the tyrant Ming.
04:02The perfect name for the home of the defenders of the Earth.
04:06Octon, have Garax follow the Krail to the present location of these defenders of the Earth and destroy them all.
04:15Lasers! Where did they come from?
04:19Ming's robo-ships. They've followed the Krailships to our location.
04:23They've broken Dynax code. She needs more shielding.
04:27I'm working on it now, Dad.
04:31Flash, we're in trouble.
04:33Hang on, Morkon. I'm coming up.
04:36The Krailships are headed for that building.
04:50We're sitting ducks down here. Unless...
05:02Target sighted yet.
05:04It's moving.
05:06Mandrake's mansion moving company, at your service.
05:15Robo-ships at two o'clock, Flash.
05:17Roger, Lothar.
05:18Thanks.
05:19Come on, blast them, Flash. Show them what the defenders can do.
05:23Please, Kashin. We're trying to concentrate.
05:25Sure. Come on, Zuffy.
05:27Find a place where you can stay out of trouble.
05:30Kashin!
05:31He'll be okay, my friend.
05:32I imagine it might be easier to deal with Ming to understand young people.
05:42Got it!
05:43Get him, Flash!
06:02Look out behind you!
06:14Wow!
06:19We've seen enough, Zuffy. Let's get out of here!
06:30Look out, Dad! Ming's Robo-ships are right behind you!
06:33This'll fake him out.
06:40Closer.
06:41Closer.
06:43Closer.
06:47Closer.
06:48Closer.
06:49Closer.
06:50Closer.
06:51Closer.
06:52Closer.
06:53Closer.
06:54Closer.
06:55Good work, Morkon!
06:56Just like old times, Flash.
06:58Closer.
06:59Watch out, Zuffy! They missed one of the Robo-ships!
07:02Octon, confirm the origin of that creature with the Earthboy.
07:07Yes, sire.
07:09The creature is a...
07:11Sophoid from Mongo
07:13I knew it
07:15And that boy was with Flash Gordon
07:17Garax, I want that boy and Sophoid captured
07:20Alive
07:21Alive, mighty main
07:23With the boy as my hostage
07:25Flash Gordon will walk right into my hands
07:28And I will clash the defenders of the earth
07:41Ice robots
07:43Ming's ice robots are after us
07:46We've got to hide, Sophoid
07:47Sophoid
07:48Where are you?
07:52Run for it, Sophoid
08:06Wow
08:10Right in our own backyard
08:12And we never knew it was here
08:18We're trapped
08:33There's nowhere to run
08:36No good, Sophoid
08:50No good, Sophoid
09:03This wall could be miles thick
09:05Oh no
09:08They found us
09:10We're sunk
09:11We don't have to worry about them anymore
09:23Let's hope we can find our way out of here
09:25Sure is dark in here, Sophoid
09:30Stay close
09:30Okay?
09:32What was that?
09:37Kisa was right
09:38Somebody is in Mandrake's wine cellar
09:40How can you two see
09:41With the lights off?
09:46According to the data I am receiving
09:49The mountain includes a cavern
09:51Large enough for a small city
09:53Which is perfect, Dynec X
09:55Because that's exactly what it's gonna be
09:57I don't think we'll ever find a better place for monitor
09:59Than the one Kishin and Zuffy found
10:01Kishin has the makings of a real defender
10:04If only he can learn to follow orders
10:07There is one piece of data
10:08Which may alter the plan
10:10To locate monitor inside this particular mountain
10:13The mountain is a volcano
10:15And it is not entirely extinct
10:18Even we Krell would have difficulty
10:20Building a structure
10:21To withstand a volcanic eruption
10:23We can cap the active shaft
10:25And harness the geothermal energy for power
10:27Leave it to Jetta
10:29To think of an organic solution
10:30To our energy problem
10:31Jetta is correct
10:32Right, Phantom
10:33We'll have an endless supply of energy
10:35Once the crown is finished
10:43It will rise on the shafts
10:45Through the opening in the crater
10:46The final stage of construction
10:49Something is wrong, Jetta
10:52Are you not happy with our new home?
10:55Oh, Father
10:55I have no desire to live here
10:57Our home is with the jungle beasts of Africa
11:00But we must stay here with the others
11:03To help defend the earth
11:04I can't allow you to return to Africa alone
11:07I am only concerned for your welfare
11:10I know that, Father
11:11That's what makes it so difficult
11:13Gerax, you fool
11:17Not only have you lost a fleet of robo ships
11:21A phalanx of ice robots
11:23But you lost the boy as well
11:26Sire, I detect massive amounts of power being used
11:30In approximately the same location
11:32But inside the mountain
11:35It must be the defender's base
11:38Oh, mighty men
11:40Let me send a small party of ice robots
11:43Into their base
11:44And destroy it from within
11:46Very well, Gerax
11:49You may do so
11:50And this time
11:52I will not tolerate failure
11:55It was a good idea
12:12To store our ships inside the mountain, Morkon
12:14It's much safer, my friend
12:16If Ming attacks
12:18Our ships won't be so vulnerable
12:20Flash! Look out!
12:21Sound run alert
12:26We've got to stop those ice robots
12:28A landslide!
12:37Our ships are trapped inside
12:39Ming attacks now
12:40We're helpless!
12:51We've got to stop those ice robots
12:54Before they destroy Monitor
12:55A krail machine that can cut rock
13:23Can also cut those ice robots down to size
13:26There's no way to hit those ice robots
13:36They move too fast
13:37Perhaps their strengths can be turned to our advantage
13:41By jungle awe
13:55The ghost who walks
13:57Calls forth the power
13:59Of ten tigers
14:01Great going, fam
14:09Lead them into my rage
14:11A little concrete
14:17Should turn those ice robots
14:18Into blockheads
14:20What a mess
14:26You're a handyman to have around, Mandrake
14:32Garax, your robots follow your example
14:38With great fidelity
14:38They are totally incompetent
14:40Octon
14:42I want the Defender's base to end up like Garax's worthless ice robots
14:48Let this be a foretaste of what I have in store for all who oppose me
14:54Damage to monitor is not critical
14:58Alert
15:01A fleet of robo ships approaching
15:03With the mountains sealed off
15:05With the mountains sealed off, there's no way to defend ourselves
15:07I have an idea
15:08Danek
15:09X broadcast a strong SOS signal originating from the top of the volcano
15:13But that would be nothing more than a homing signal for me
15:17Exactly
15:19Attention all robo ships
15:23I am picking up an SOS signal
15:26We will respond by putting them out of their misery
15:29Target
15:30Mount and top
15:32They fell for it
15:38They opened the crater for us
15:40Perfect
15:41Now we can raise the crown and take off
15:44Yeah, looks good
15:51I'm filling the camouflage lake now
16:02Launch bay doors clear
16:04That's our cue
16:05Let's go get them
16:07Wait for me
16:32Warning
16:51We are losing geothermal pressure
16:54Emergency power limited
16:55There's the problem
16:57A break in the geothermal cap
16:59Warning
16:59We are losing geothermal pressure
17:01We've got to stop it, Morgon
17:03Emergency power limited
17:05I'm trying to find the pressure point in the geosystems
17:09There it is
17:12Report, Danek X
17:13According to my calculations
17:15An explosion at this point could relieve pressure on the system
17:19This megabomb has enough blasting power to do that trick
17:22I'll plant the device
17:24None of us can do it, Phantom
17:26The proper location is at the end of a long slanting shaft
17:31Barely big enough for a child
17:33Barely big enough for a child
17:33Or a cat
17:35Or a cat
17:35That's it, Kisa
17:44That's it
17:45Just a little further
17:47Good, Kisa
17:49Good
17:50Now put the explosive down gently
17:55Gently, Kisa
17:57Now come, Kisa
17:59Home, fast
18:00Yes
18:05A volcanic eruption
18:07The battle is won
18:08The defender's base is destroyed
18:11Nothing can stop me now
18:14Hurry, Kisa
18:16Hurry
18:17Good girl, Kisa
18:21Good girl
18:22Kisa was terrified
18:25We don't belong here, Father
18:27We've made a commitment to our friends, Jedha
18:30Monitor submanaging
18:37Release construction debris, Danic X
18:39Releasing debris
18:42Well, Ming should be very pleased when he sees that debris
18:51A nice trick if I say so myself, Lothar
18:53Very nice indeed
18:55Octon, recall the fleet
18:59I have won
19:01Sire, I still detect a great deal of energy use
19:05It is merely residual energy from the eruption
19:08But, sire, it cannot be
19:10Silence
19:12Where are you taking us, Morkon?
19:18While investigating the damage done by the eruption
19:22I discovered the creation of this new cavern
19:25Wow, it's enormous
19:29The natural steam escaping from the active part of the volcano
19:34Keeps it humid
19:35And at a constant 80 degrees Fahrenheit
19:38Father, it's like the climate of our home in Africa
19:42It will make a perfect location for a second skull cave
19:46Sire, a fleet of ships is departing Earth
19:54The Krell ships are retreating
19:58With an escort from Flash Gordon, sire
20:02No, it cannot be
20:06The defenders of the Earth are still alive, sire
20:10But not for long
20:13The Krell ships are retreating
20:17The Krell ships are retreating
20:18The Krell ships are retreating
20:19The Krell ships are retreating
20:21The Krell ships are retreating
20:23The Krell ships are retreating
20:24The Krell ships are retreating
20:25The Krell ships are retreating
20:26The Krell ships are retreating
20:27The Krell ships are retreating
20:28The Krell ships are retreating
20:29The Krell ships are retreating
20:30The Krell ships are retreating
20:31The Krell ships are retreating
20:32The Krell ships are retreating
20:33The Krell ships are retreating
20:34The Krell ships are retreating
20:35The Krell ships are retreating
20:36The Krell ships are retreating
20:37The Krell ships are retreating
20:38The Krell ships are retreating
20:39I'll see you next time.
