00:55Defenders of the Earth!
00:57Enders!
00:58Enders!
01:07The Defenders still have the Doomsday War-headed Monitor, Sire.
01:11And your simulation override was not strong enough to destroy their minds.
01:16Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
01:20Yes!
01:21But I have made an invaluable discovery.
01:23By incorporating my unique Star of Mongo crystal with its special molecular structure into the circuitry of my override device, I can then use the fertile imagination of that young defender-pest, Keshir!
01:36to create real warriors to steal the warrior back
01:39and destroy the defenders once and for all.
01:44With all due respect, sire, how will you obtain the boy?
01:49The child has a pet. Does he not, Aton?
01:52Yes, sire. A Zavoid.
01:54That is the answer, Aton.
01:56I will use the boy's love of his pet to capture him.
02:00Alert, Garax. I want that Zavoid immediately.
02:03Aton, I have work to do and a planet to conquer.
02:17Hey, you guys ready for another of Kishin's famous mind simulations?
02:21Anytime, Rick.
02:23This one's for you, Zuffy.
02:24All right, you're in the end of the morning.
02:26My lord, Zuffy.
02:47Zuffy's getting a real kick out of this.
02:49That's nothing. Watch this.
02:58Not again.
03:00The controller shorted out again.
03:02I'll work on it some more after school.
03:10Kishin, I'm afraid you've got one very unsatisfied customer.
03:14Here we go again.
03:20Another day, another textbook.
03:22I'll see you guys later.
03:23Zuffy, what are you doing here?
03:27Sorry, they don't allow Zafoids in school.
03:30I'll see you this afternoon, okay?
03:32Zuffy.
03:55The game is useless. Ibramim demands your presence.
04:01Zuffy! Zuffy!
04:04Have you seen Zuffy?
04:05Not now, Kashin.
04:06I'm gonna look for him in Central City. Okay, Rick?
04:09Sure, sure, Kashin. Whatever.
04:17Zuffy! Zuffy!
04:19Where are you?
04:21Hmm. If I were Zuffy, where would I go?
04:26Of course!
04:30The Arcade! Zuffy loves Space Conquerors!
04:34Hey, Kashin!
04:35Hi, Kashin!
04:36Hi, guys! Have any of you seen Zuffy?
04:41Space Conquerors!
04:44Zuffy, are you in here?
04:46I have been waiting for you, little defender.
04:49Defender?
04:50Ming!
04:51Come in.
04:52Sit down.
04:54How...
04:55How did you know I'd be here?
04:57Ming knows all.
04:59If you ever want to see that Zuffy pest again...
05:02Zuffy!
05:03...you will do exactly as I tell you.
05:05move quickly, young boy.
05:06Move quickly, young boy!
05:18No!
05:28Stop moving.
05:29I have brought the boy, my lord.
05:32Morty!
05:33I understand Zephyroids ain't the cove.
05:42Put him down!
05:45Ah! Enjoy your new home, Dest.
05:49Zephy!
05:54Octon, strap him into my simulation override device.
05:58Oh, no! Let me go!
06:11The battle simulation room!
06:13That is correct, Earthly.
06:15I have patched my enhanced simulation override into it.
06:19What's this got to do with me?
06:21You have a vivid imagination, my young friend.
06:24I want you to create a powerful warrior team.
06:29No! I won't do it!
06:31Reach deep into his mind, Doctor,
06:35and pull out the most horrible fighters you can find.
06:39Yes, sir.
06:42You will obey and create a team of mind warriors
06:45that will steal the goods they wanted
06:47and destroy the defenders once and for all.
06:51What have I done?
07:04You have helped me create the greatest army ever assembled
07:08to defeat the defenders of the Earth.
07:11Radion, master of weapons.
07:14I shall destroy Flash Gordon.
07:17Zalzar, demon of darkness.
07:20Mandrake's illusions are no matter for my superior magic.
07:25By Ninja, the ultimate hand-to-hand combat warrior.
07:29I am stronger than Lothar and faster than Elshin.
07:32Hurry!
07:33Ripper, with the strength of wild beasts.
07:36The Phantom's ten tiger ghosts
07:38are no match for my beast powers.
07:42Jemmerhead, whose telepathic thought waves
07:44are designed to control Jedha's mind.
07:48My powerful thought force will destroy her mind.
07:52A neutron man, whose very touch is deadly.
07:57I will turn Rick Gordon's body to dust
08:00with a touch of my atomizing hand.
08:02Each warrior has been designed by your imagination
08:06to defeat a particular defender.
08:09Go now, mind warriors, and track down your victims.
08:12Crush them until there is nothing left.
08:14Then take the Doomsday Warhead to my secret asteroid base.
08:19The 24-hour deactivation sequence is almost complete.
08:23Hey, anyone seen Gashin?
08:25I can't find him anywhere.
08:26He went to Central City to look for Zuffy.
08:28Take five, gang.
08:30There's no way Ming will get his claws on the warhead now.
08:32Listen, did you hear that?
08:37Look!
08:40Greetings, defenders!
08:42Who are you?
08:43The opposites of yourselves.
08:46Created for Ming by the vivid imagination of Gashin.
08:51Gashin? Ming has Gashin?
08:54What do you want?
08:54I, Radiarm, claim the Doomsday Warhead
08:58in the name of Emperor Ming the Merciless.
09:02If you want that warhead,
09:03you'll have to go through me to get it.
09:05Flash Gordon, you fool!
09:15You cannot destroy one who does not live.
09:21Jetta! Rick!
09:22Protect the warhead!
09:23Right, Dad!
09:28Surrender now,
09:29and I will make your destruction.
09:30Quick!
09:31We'll see about that!
09:39I forbid you to harm me!
09:42Now!
09:43Release the cable!
09:53Beware, father and son!
09:56Your fight is finished before it's begun!
09:59Not if your battle strategy is as lousy as your poetry!
10:01Hi-yah!
10:02Which is real, and which is illusion?
10:22It does not matter!
10:23It does not matter!
10:26I will destroy you!
10:29Follow me!
10:31I've got an idea!
10:31Help me!
10:39Damn it!
10:47After them!
10:48We gotta come up with a new plan for dealing with those dudes!
10:54It's too late!
10:55It's too late, my friends!
10:56They've taken the doomsday warhead!
10:58We've tangled with Ming's forces before, and down deep, I always felt we'd beat him.
11:02But this time, I'm not so sure.
11:06Excellent, Radiar!
11:07Take the warhead to my asteroid base!
11:09Aptan, I am pleased by the way you have twisted the child's imagination!
11:15Thank you, Zotter!
11:17Now, prepare my throne room for departure to my secret asteroid base!
11:22The Earthling will remain here as my prisoner!
11:25Where's Zuffy?
11:27The Zaltoid is unimportant!
11:29Once I have the doomsday warhead in my hands, all of Earth will be mine!
11:48Defender alert!
11:50Defender alert!
11:51The Mind Warriors are back!
11:54And their inside monitor!
11:55Quit Dynak!
11:56Activate force fields!
11:57The Mind Warriors have sabotaged my defense systems!
12:01Prepare to meet your doom!
12:04Fall back!
12:05To the launch bay!
12:12Great idea, Dad!
12:13We'll blast them to bits with Terry!
12:15Norik, you go after Kashin!
12:17We'll stay here and keep those goons occupied!
12:19You've got to free Kashin!
12:20It's the only way to destroy those monsters!
12:23Then we can retrieve and disarm the warhead!
12:25We've got to put the fate of the Earth ahead of our own!
12:31Dad, be cheerful!
12:32We can handle them, son!
12:34The young defenders have escaped!
12:50It doesn't matter!
12:52A doomsday warhead is safe!
12:54That means asteroid base!
12:57Now we will destroy you!
12:59One on one!
13:01How did we ever find I've stationed Earth?
13:15I'm picking up a power surge due north of here!
13:20A Mongol ship!
13:21So, the worms are leaving their hole!
13:23And we're going in!
13:25The defenders of the Earth have come to rescue the boy!
13:28Instead, they will be lost forever in a maze of ice!
13:35We're lost!
13:36I think we've got company!
13:49If we hurry, we can block off the control room!
13:53This won't keep those demons out forever!
13:55Never say die!
13:56You've given me an idea, Phantom!
13:58The Mind Warriors are programmed to destroy us!
14:03If they think they've succeeded, they might leave!
14:07Dynak!
14:08Yes, Flash?
14:09I want you to let the Mind Warriors destroy us!
14:12What?
14:12My plan is to make them think they've destroyed us!
14:16Stand aside, Warriors!
14:17The Defenders of the Earth are beaten!
14:31The Defenders of the Earth are beaten!
14:45Let us take the news of our victory to Ming the Merciless!
14:52The Mind Warriors have departed!
14:54Yeah!
14:56It worked, Flash!
14:57You're a genius!
14:59Nah, it was nothing!
15:00I couldn't have done it without Dynak's holograms of us!
15:02Oh, really?
15:04Or without Mandrake's terrific disappearing act!
15:08Dynak, old girl!
15:09How about tracking down the Mind Warriors' ship?
15:12Stay with him, Dynak!
15:13Ming's warriors will lead us right to his secret asteroid base!
15:17And the Warhead!
15:22Zuffy!
15:24Yuck!
15:25I feel like a defrosted TV dinner!
15:28Forgive me, but it doesn't often we get visitors down here!
15:32Friend awful!
15:34Who are you?
15:36My name is Ubore!
15:38I'm a rubble from Mongo!
15:40Are you a Zephoid also?
15:42My people evolved from Zephoids millions of years ago!
15:46Ming conquered our land!
15:48Now I am the last of my kind!
15:50Do you know where Kishin is?
15:51Yes!
15:53Come, I'll show you!
15:56Follow this tunnel!
15:57It will lead you to Ming's throne room!
15:59Thanks, Ubore!
16:00Welcome to our simulation override room!
16:10Kishin!
16:11Your first visit will be your last!
16:14That's what you think, Tin Can!
16:16Mind Warriors, materialize!
16:19Buy Ninja!
16:21Jammer Head!
16:22You try, Nick!
16:23Warriors, entertain our guests!
16:25Kishin, help us fight the Warriors!
16:37Kishin, now serve Ming!
16:40You're a defender!
16:41Listen to him, Kishin!
16:42Fight Octon!
16:44Fight Ming!
16:45Defender?
16:47Stop the Mind Warriors, Kishin!
16:49You are a defender!
16:51You can do it, Kishin!
16:52Mind Warriors?
16:53I don't want you here anymore!
16:56Go away!
16:57Around Kishin!
16:59Good work, Kishin!
17:01Stop!
17:02I order you to bring them back!
17:05Not a chance, circuit face!
17:09Let's blow this popsicle stand!
17:14Sire, the Defenders have escaped with Kishin and your override device!
17:19No matter!
17:20The Warhead is almost reassembled!
17:22By the time the Defenders take action, it will be too late!
17:28We're home!
17:29Hooray!
17:30Kishin's back!
17:31You're all right, Kishin!
17:33We're not out of the woods yet, gang!
17:34We still have to stop the Doomsday Warhead from reaching Earth!
17:38Rick took Ming's overrider!
17:40If we hook it to the simulator, maybe I can make you guys as powerful as I made the Mind Warriors!
17:46An excellent idea, Kishin, but very dangerous!
17:49Dangerous, yes, but necessary. We've got no choice. Come on, let's go!
17:54What if the Overrider doesn't work on real people?
17:58This is it, Kishin. Give it all you've got!
18:01Okay, Flash.
18:03Radiarm's a master of all weapons.
18:05So I'll make you able to deflect all weapons.
18:09It's working!
18:10I feel invincible!
18:16We're in range of Ming's throne room!
18:19I'll use my mind to teleport you inside!
18:24Once I launch it, nothing can stop the Doomsday Warhead from destroying the Earth.
18:30Intruders!
18:31The defenders!
18:33They have used my override device to increase their powers.
18:36Destroy them!
18:39I can deflect anything you put out, Radiarm.
18:45Piece of cake!
18:47You don't look dangerous to me, magician!
18:52Appearances can be deceptive.
18:54Want to see my protons cancel your neutrons?
19:14You shall not mock the power of the Ghost Who Walks.
19:17You destroyed my warriors, defenders.
19:25But nothing can save the Earth from the Doomsday Warhead.
19:31Come on, gang.
19:32We've got one more job for our special superpowers.
19:35I've set the guidance control.
19:48We've only got a few seconds.
19:53I have destroyed the defenders at last.
19:56I am thinking of an outside transmission.
19:59Nor me.
20:01No, it cannot be.
20:03But it is.
20:04Kushin was able to mentally teleport us back to our ship
20:07thanks to your simulation override device.
20:11What's left of it?
20:12I'm afraid it burned up.
20:13Remember, Ming.
20:15We defenders will always be here to defend the Earth
20:18whenever you don't mind your own business.
20:34You're not worried about it.
20:38To be continued
20:53You
