01:00Defenders of the Earth!

01:12It's been a long time coming, Ming.

01:14But this is finally the end of the line for you!

01:18It will be a pleasure to put you behind bars!

01:20Well, Beastmaster, stop them!

01:23My crystal soldiers will now annihilate the defenders of the Earth.

01:44How about a little light on the subject?

01:51Let me have a go at them.

01:53My hands! I can't let go!

01:59Don't crowd, gentlemen. I'll get to both of you.

02:06Okay, Diamond Brain. Let's see you stop this!

02:19Okay, Diamond Brain. Let's see you stop this!

02:31Very impressive, Beastmaster. You have proven to me you can fight the defenders of the Earth. But of course, these are only illusions.

02:47My crystal soldiers are created from diamonds. The bigger the jewel, the more powerful the soldier.

02:56If I capture your ancient enemy, the Phantom, then in exchange, you will give me the secret to crush my enemies once and for all.

03:06Agreed. You will have the power of my crystal soldiers.

03:10Octon. Yes, my lord, Ming?

03:14I will send Gerax and the squadron of my ice robots to the African diamond mines.

03:18With the crystal soldiers, I will steal the largest diamonds from the jewels of the universe collection.

03:24And then, the Earth will be mine.

03:30Come on, Kashin. Now you can flip me. Remember what I taught you.

03:40I know. Concentrate.

03:43Attention. Attention. Mandrake's command performance in London is about to begin.

03:54Hey, Kashin. You're going to be a pretty heavy little dude.

03:57Thanks, LJ.

04:00Ooh, Mandrake certainly knows how to put on a show.

04:11Flash, Rick, Jetta.

04:14Wait till you guys hear what I did to LJ.

04:17Wait until Mandrake's performance is over, Kashin.

04:19Oh, sure.

04:21Hey, don't worry, Kashin. You can show him right after Mandrake's performance.

04:25Yeah. Yeah, I'll show him.

04:27Wow, we'll show him.

04:28I wish Father were here to see this instead of in Africa.

04:32Jetta, it's important to Phantom check out the rumors that the Beastmaster has returned.

04:37Beastmaster? Isn't he the one who's so cruel to animals?

04:42Alert. Alert. Detecting Ming's robo-ships.

04:46Dynak, what's their destination?

04:47Destination. Zandu Diamond Mines. Africa.

04:51What does Ming want with diamonds?

04:53If Beastmaster is on Earth and Ming is interested in diamonds, that can mean only one thing.

04:58The Beastmaster is up to his old tricks.

05:01Crystal soldiers.

05:02You got it, son.

05:03I'll notify the other defenders.

05:05While all of you are keeping the lid on things here, I'm off to Ragnor Zith.

05:10Dad, that planet's the biggest criminal hideout in the galaxy.

05:13And Beastmaster has offered a reward to anyone who captures you.

05:17I know. But Ragnor Zith is the only place we can get Orkite.

05:21What's Orkite?

05:22The one mineral in the galaxy that can convert crystal soldiers back into diamonds.

05:27The Phasolisk. It guards the Orkite.

05:30If we can stop Ming's robots from getting any diamonds, maybe Dad won't have to tangle with that beast.

05:35So what are we waiting for?

05:37Africa awaits.

05:38Zuffie and I want to come too.

05:40Not this time, Kishin. We need you here with Dynak to coordinate things for us.

05:47Coordinating things is just another way of saying we're too young.

05:51Come on, Zuffie. We'll show when we're going, too.

05:54Beastmaster's tracks lead right into this cave.

06:11Could be a trap.

06:14Goron, watch your step. We don't want to spring it.

06:17Look out, Phantom.

06:25Hang on, Goron.

06:43Beastmaster.

06:44Yes, Phantom.

06:46And I see you've brought a friend.

06:49How thoughtful.

06:50My revenge will be twice as sweet.

06:54What's your game, Beastmaster?

06:56My game, as you put it, is simple.

07:00You will be released onto my island.

07:02Then I will hunt you both down like animals.

07:06Crystal soldiers, take them away.

07:09Come on, Zuffie.

07:25We'll show them we can take care of ourselves.

07:27Look, the diamond mine.

07:29The ice robots are loading their ship.

07:35They think we're too young, Zuffie. We'll show them.

07:41Kishin!

07:41He must have stowed away.

07:47Come on, you guys.

07:48We have to save them.

07:55Well, well.

07:56The young defenders.

07:58Ebera Ming will be pleased when I bring him the earthlings.

08:01The young defenders have trapped themselves inside the mine.

08:15Get them!

08:16The young defenders ship.

08:33This time, there will be no escape for the younglings.

08:40Kishin, you don't realize how dangerous it was for you to come along.

08:43But I... I just wanted to prove...

08:45Shh! I hear something.

08:47Ice robots!

08:53It's a cave-in!

08:55Run for it!

08:56Duck! Zuffie!

08:58We're trapped!

08:59It's a cinch we can't get out that way.

09:02Oh, no! Look!

09:04More ice robots!

09:07I've got an idea.

09:13Hey! Look!

09:30That boulder was blocking a direct route to the surface.

09:33Zuffie has the right idea.

09:35Let's get out of here.

09:35Our ship is destroyed!

09:41It must have been Jarex.

09:43We better notify Monitor.

09:45Dynak! Dynak!

09:46Come in!

09:47We have located the Phantom on the island of Tad,

09:50in the middle of Lake Kuntawa.

09:52The Beastmaster has taken over the entire island.

09:55Thanks, Dynak.

09:56We'll check it out.

09:59What is it, Zuffie?

10:00I'm on!

10:00A robo-ship!

10:08What are we waiting for?

10:14According to Rick's message,

10:16May is looking for diamonds.

10:17Hmm.

10:18If you were stealing diamonds, Lothar,

10:20where would you focus your attention?

10:22The jewels of the universe collection.

10:26Exactly, Lothar.

10:27Exactly.

10:28Exactly.

10:30Ignore Ziff.

10:35And it looks like my local fan club's out in full force.

10:39I think I'll cook up a little surprise for them.

10:53If it wasn't for Rick's miniature gas mask,

10:55I'd be just as out of it as those guys.

11:00Don't mind me.

11:28I was just leaving.

11:29I was just leaving.

11:39Get away!

11:40Fuck!

19:01Need any help, fellas?

19:21How about that?

19:22This orchide stuff really works.

19:25Do you always have to appear at the last minute?

19:27I thought you liked that about me.

19:29Better late than never, my friend.

19:36I'm sorry I was so much trouble.

19:38I guess I'm just not ready to be a defender.

19:40Knowing when you're not ready to do something, Kishen,

19:43there's a valuable lesson that some people never learn.

19:46But who knows?

19:47In a few years, you could be ready for a whole career full of dangerous missions.

19:51You hear that, Zuff?

19:53Dangerous missions!

19:54I have also learned a valuable lesson.

20:00Women look marvelous in diamonds.

20:02But they don't really do a thing for me.

20:06Ha ha! It figures!

20:07They don't really do a thing for us.

20:29They don't really do anything for me.
