14:15Mandrake's trapped in that other dimension, and the only one who can help him is Theron!
14:31Get those creatures out of here, before any more equipment is damaged!
14:40No! Keep away!
14:47This pile of junk is Mandrake's only to get back into our world!
14:52Foolish magician! You should have stayed in your own world!
15:04For here in Bodhidharma, I am Absolute Master!
15:22No!
15:38There is no escape! In Bodhidharma, the very stones of the earth open!
15:43Theron!
15:59My lad, what brings you here?
16:03Mandrake's trapped in that other dimension with Shiva! You gotta help him!
16:10Mandrake did well to make you his apprentice, my lad!
16:15Fear not! I will help him with a special piece of knowledge!
16:33Give me the Borsi! I will destroy every atom of your being!
16:37Never!
16:39Mandrake!
16:40Mandrake!
16:41Theeron!
16:42This is the dimension of illusions! Your powers are real here! Use them!
16:48Use what I taught you!
16:54Shiva! Two can play at this game!
16:57Cum grano solis!
16:59Be you rabble!
17:01Be you rabble!
17:03A god against a sorcerer, eh? We'll see who's stronger! Destroy!
17:21Destroy!
17:27My powers here are immortal, but yours will soon weaken!
17:33Do not count on it, Shiva!
17:39I grow weary of these games!
17:41Give me the Borsi!
17:46Give me the Borsi!
17:49There! Now I can open the Dimensional portal!
17:52Good work!
17:53For about sixty seconds! Then all this gear will blow up!
17:56Do it! It's the only way to get Mandrake back!
18:02Give it to me!
18:04Never!
18:05You fool! Don't you know I can rip apart every fiber of your being with my bare hands?
18:12Not without the Borsi!

18:18Calcanum!
18:24Noooo!
18:29Nooooo!
18:37Noooo!
18:38Nooooo!
18:42Let's go.
19:12Mandrake, I thought we'd lost you.
19:17Nonsense, Lothar. Lose an old escape artist like me? You just need to have the right key.
19:27Here is the Borgia Theron.
19:30I have taught you well, Mandrake. I only hope you will do as well with your apprentice. He's a fine boy and worthy.
19:39You hear that, Mandrake? Theron, could Mandrake ever have real supernatural powers like he did in that other place?
19:47No, my boy. The power to control and transform matter is simply unknown on this plane of existence.
19:54Farewell, Defenders!
20:02Supernatural powers?
20:04Hmm.
20:06He he he he.
