01:08Prepare for attack!
01:10Prepare for attack!
01:12Ice robots have landed on the perimeter of Monitor!
01:15Prepare for attack!
01:19Ice robots!
01:21They've gotta be kidding!
01:23They'll never penetrate our...
01:26Invasion forces have penetrated Volcano!
01:30Rick, come with me!
01:31The rest of you give those gate-crashing ice robots a special defender welcome at the door!
01:36Cushin, you and Zafi come with me!
01:38Cushin, you and Zafi come with me!
01:47Why are we in the mansion?
01:49Nothing's gonna happen here!
01:51That is precisely the point!
01:53I'm going to teleport you up to a grandstand seat!
01:56Or rather, a chandelier seat for the duration!
02:02You, young man, are going to sit this one out!
02:05Cushin, you and Zafi come with me!
02:10What are you doing!?
02:11I'm so sorry!
02:15I'm so sorry.
02:18Like father, like dog.
02:23Nice going, Shadow!
02:24That's the end of the end.
02:31If you wanted a closer look, all you had to do was ask.
02:35Let's go.
02:42The opening just sealed itself up.
02:45Just like magic.
02:46Thanks, Mandrake.
02:48That'll keep these robots from trying to enter monitor.
02:58Look out, Dad.
03:00Reinforcements.
03:01I see them, son.
03:12Rick, keep them busy.
03:13I've just spotted their blaster.
03:18With the next attack, you will all be destroyed.
03:22And Monitor will be mine.
03:25Garak, report.
03:27Mighty V.
03:27Our forces are greatly weakened.
03:30Order replacements from Ice Station Earth immediately.
03:34There are no replacements left at Ice Station Earth.
03:38What?
03:38Very well.
03:40Very well.
03:41Order the robots to retreat.
03:43There is only one place I can get reinforcements.
03:47Crotan, my son.
03:51Dispatch robo-ships and ice robots from Mongo immediately.
03:55More reinforcements, father.
03:57You still do not rule the Earth?
04:00You impudent child.
04:02Do as I...
04:04Repair my mount.
04:06Come in, young Crotan.
04:19You knew it was I, Zerelda?
04:21I can see all in my magic cauldron.
04:25I came to hear the legend again, Zerelda.
04:28Look.
04:29Look deep into the cauldron, young Prince Crotan.
04:32And see yourself.
04:33You must stop this battle, Min.
04:36You cannot win.
04:38I will never give up my throne.
04:41But you already have, father.
04:44I am the new Emperor of Mongo.
04:47Who will save me?
04:50Emperor of Mongo!
04:53Yay!
04:57And me?
04:59Like his father before him,
05:01Min will be deposed by his own son.
05:06You, Crotan, will be Emperor of Mongo.
05:11I will enjoy destroying Ming, the Merciless.
05:15No, Crotan.
05:17You must not destroy Ming.
05:20You must conquer your father
05:23and defeat his enemies,
05:26the Defenders of the Earth.
05:33I will succeed where my father has failed,
05:36and I will use our enemies,
05:38the Defenders, to accomplish this.
05:40Then I will destroy the Defenders
05:42and claim Earth for my own dominion.
05:45You will need magical powers, my Prince.
05:49I will give you three.
05:50The Power of Teleportation.
06:02The Power of Telekinesis.
06:07And the Power of Disguise.
06:10You have endowed me with great gifts.
06:17I will not forget this, Zerelda.
06:19Use them wisely, Prince Crotan.
06:23Ah, I will disguise myself
06:37to resemble the Earth Boy in this picture.
06:43Now, no one will know my true identity.
06:46And now, to meet my new friends,
06:50the Defenders of the Earth.
06:57Come on, Jetta!
06:58You've got to see this view!
07:00You're almost there, Jetta!
07:02I'm right behind you, Rick!
07:04This is an anthill compared to what I found
07:06when I was a toddler.
07:07I'm sorry.
07:16Rick!
07:17Get out, Jetta!
07:21Don't panic, Jetta!
07:23The line is secured!
07:25Okay, let's pull her out!
07:33A room!
07:35It's coming apart!
07:40It's about to break!
07:43Jetta!
07:48Jetta!
07:49Jetta!
07:51No!
07:53Well, hello there.
07:56Hello.
07:58Jetta!
07:59You're okay.
08:01Thanks to my handsome hero here.
08:05That was a pretty remarkable catch.
08:07Yeah, thanks.
08:09Uh...
08:10Uh, Dan.
08:11Just call me Dan.
08:12Can you stand, Jetta?
08:14Oh!
08:15You can put me down now, Dan.
08:18Anytime.
08:19We'll be glad to give you a lift back
08:21to Central City, won't we, Rick?
08:23How do you know that's where he's going?
08:25That's exactly where I'm going.
08:27Great!
08:29Lighten up, man!
08:30Lighten up!
08:31I've just moved here from far away.
08:37Well, I'm glad.
08:39All of a sudden, Jetta has turned this van
08:41into her personal welcome wagon.
08:44Rick!
08:45Look out!
08:46The bridge is out!
08:47Fantastic driving, Rick!
08:57But I didn't do anything!
08:59Rick's the best, Dan.
09:00At everything!
09:07I've got to enroll at Central High on Monday.
09:10Will you be here, Jetta?
09:12You bet.
09:13I'll see you on Monday, Dan.
09:15Hey, if we're lucky, maybe we'll have
09:17some classes together.
09:19Cute, Jetta.
09:21Cute.
09:21There's something very strange about that guy.
09:24I don't trust him.
09:26You get jealous so easily, Rick.
09:28Jealous?
09:30Who's jealous?
09:31Do I look jealous?
09:33Chill out, Rick.
09:34Lighten up.
09:35Why are you carrying on this way?
09:36Carrying on!
09:37Galax, have the reinforcements arrived from Mongo?
09:40No, Mikey Ming.
09:43What?
09:44Reinforcements?
09:46Contact my son.
09:48I am unable to contact Prince Crotan, sire.
09:51It is rumored he has left Mongo and is on his way to Earth.
09:56Octon, prepare the throne room for departure.
10:00Activate all search sensors for signs of Mongo life.
10:04If my son is on Earth, I intend to find him, and he will answer to me.
10:20It looks exactly like Zorrella's magic cauldron portrayed it.
10:25The perfect device with which I may conquer my father without destroying him.
10:32No pictures, please.
10:35No doubt this device is controlled by a central computer in the Defender's headquarters.
10:40I must get inside Monotor.
10:43For what purpose, my faithful son?
10:48Father, I was not expecting you so soon.
10:52You have much to answer for, Crotan.
10:55Why have you left Mongo and come to Earth?
10:57Father, I have come to assist you in your battle against the Defenders.
11:02With me at your side.
11:04You?
11:05A mere snip of a child?
11:08Of course, Father.
11:10Forgive my impudence.
11:12And how will you assist me, my son?
11:15If you will remain here to trap the Defenders, I will get the young female called Jedha to activate this device.
11:23For what purpose?
11:25To destroy the Defenders of the Earth.
11:28Hmm.
11:29You are learning, my son.
11:31Yes.
11:32One day, you and I will share rulership of the universe.
11:37Together.
11:42The young fool.
11:50Ming shares nothing.
11:53Attention.
11:54Attention.
11:56Malfunctioning video contact with Defense Tower.
11:59Dynaq, report malfunction.
12:01Tower's camera lenses are shattered.
12:04Ming.
12:05He has found the Moleculizer.
12:07Hurry to the Terry.
12:12Well, lucky meeting you here.
12:19Dan.
12:20Oh, I'm sorry, Jedha.
12:21Did I surprise you?
12:22Well, yes.
12:24A little, but it's a wonderful surprise.
12:27What are you doing out here?
12:28Helping a lady in distress.
12:30It's not the first time I've fixed a flat tire.
12:33Sometimes I just don't understand you, Dan.
12:35I am a very private person, Jedha.
12:38If I told you everything about me, you might not accept me as your friend.
12:43But...
12:43You haven't even told me where you live.
12:46Gosh, Dan, I...
12:47I live right here.
12:50Inside of a mountain?
12:52I think it's your turn to be surprised.
12:54Right here.
12:55This is quite a tour.
13:02Why do you need such sophisticated defense systems?
13:08To fight evil enemies, like Ming the Merciless.
13:12I'm proud of you, Jedha.
13:14I can't think of anything more important than the destruction of Ming.
13:18What took you so long, Jedha?
13:19What's he doing here?
13:21Oh, Rick, sometimes you...
13:23Oh, that's okay, Jedha.
13:24I realize this is a top-secret installation.
13:28I've never seen a computer like this.
13:30What's it called?
13:31Dynaq X, but it can only be operated by a defender.
13:36What's that on the view screen?
13:37That's our defense tower outside of Monitor.
13:40We keep the Moleculizer in there.
13:42We can activate the Moleculizer to reduce any physical object to its basic molecular structure.
13:48Simply by throwing this switch.
13:50Jedha, you shouldn't be telling all this to a stranger.
13:53What harm can it do?
13:55We've already decided the Moleculizer is too unstable to ever be used.
13:59Besides, there's no reason to be so rude to my guest.
14:03Well, excuse me.
14:05Will you excuse us for a moment, Dan?
14:06I have to set a few things straight with Rick and LJ.
14:10Sure.
14:11Take your time.
14:12If Dynaq X will not operate for anyone but a defender, so be it.
14:20Rick?
14:21But I just left you in the other...
14:23And where's...
14:24Warning.
14:25Unauthorized access by an inhabitant of Mongo.
14:30Mongo?
14:30Forgive me, Jedha.
14:32I am from Mongo, but...
14:34But, Dan?
14:36You?
14:36From Mongo?
14:37I have a magical power of disguise which enables me to make myself look like Rick or any Earth teenager.
14:44Just as I expected.
14:46An alien.
14:47It was you who controlled the van at the roadblock, wasn't it?
14:50I needed to gain your confidence.
14:52I tried to explain earlier, Jedha.
14:55But...
14:55But why?
14:56Were you trying to sabotage Dynaq X?
14:58I wasn't.
15:00Please believe me.
15:01You have to help me conquer Ming the Merciless.
15:04Jedha, you must operate Dynaq X for me.
15:06What do you know about Ming the Merciless?
15:09He has used up all the resources of my home planet, Mongo.
15:13And my destiny is to overthrow him.
15:15But...
15:16Don't listen to any more of his lies, Jedha.
15:18He tricked us.
15:20Of course he tricked us.
15:21He said you wouldn't believe him.
15:23Believe me now, Jedha.
15:25Ming is in that tower.
15:27Activate the Moleculizer and I promise I will return him to Mongo.
15:31Jedha, no!
15:32Jedha, no!
15:42Greetings, Defenders.
15:44And welcome to your doom.
15:52Flash, someone has activated the Moleculizer device from Monitor.
15:57But who?
16:00Jedha Walker.
16:02May I introduce you to my son, Prince Crotan.
16:08Now, Defenders, I will be triumphant.
16:14No, Father.
16:15This triumph is mine.
16:18Over my beloved father, Ming the Merciless.
16:21Goodbye, Father.
16:23You traitor!
16:25The Moleculizer, it's out of control.
16:54Warning!
16:55Warning!
16:56Moleculizer is overloading.
16:59It is out of control.
17:01No!
17:01What have I done?
17:03All personnel within range will be moleculized within two minutes.
17:08Our parents could be in there.
17:10We've got to stop the Moleculizer.
17:12But how?
17:13Cutting power.
17:15Come on, Dynac.
17:16Don't fail me now.
17:17Moleculizer on overload.
17:20Attempt to override program unsuccessful.
17:24Come on, Dynac.
17:25Do something!
17:26Time remaining before total destruction.
17:29One minute and 45 seconds.
17:35Do something, Mandrake!
17:37I'm afraid I cannot hypnotize a machine, old friend.
17:41I can't get close enough to disable it.
17:46We'll have to destroy it.
17:52Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, quick!
17:53The emergency exit!
17:55We must hurry!
17:55That takes care of that.
18:06Only one thing left to do.
18:09By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of two tigers.
18:20He's heading down to the skull, copter.
18:22I hope not makes it in time.
18:24Now, that's rude.
18:29Hold on, Flash!
18:48It would be helpful if there was something to grab onto up here.
18:54Grab it and hold on!
18:59The defense tower is destroyed.
19:02Proud room to monitor.
19:03Everyone is safe.
19:04Repeat.
19:05We are all safe.
19:07Oh, thank goodness!
19:10What's going on?
19:11To say you missed all the action, Kashin, would be an understatement.
19:15We're not out of the woods yet, guys.
19:18We've still got Prince Crotan to contend with.
19:21Prince Crotan?
19:22Ming's son?
19:24I knew it.
19:25I knew Dan was a phony.
19:27This is Jedha.
19:28Dan, I mean Prince Crotan, has returned home.
19:33Then there's good news all around.
19:34You'll all be happy to hear we won't have to worry about Ming anymore.
19:38Crotan has Ming well in hand.
19:40Well, Father, if it was this easy disposing of you, destroying the Defenders and conquering their precious Earth will be no problem.
