00:58Defenders of the Earth!
00:59Defenders of the Earth!
01:09How is the reconstruction coming, Throck?
01:11Work is proceeding on schedule, Prince Crotan.
01:13Your Majesty's throne room is our first priority.
01:16Your priority, Throck, is to find those accursed defenders of the Earth.
01:21Find them, or you will share their fate.
01:24Even now, troops of ice robots are searching the entire planet.
01:29Find them. FIND THEM!
01:35If only we knew where on Mongo the teleporter sent the defenders.
01:39My gift from Beta 2 may be gone, but at least I have a use for the vehicle it came in.
01:45If my minions don't find their defenders, this will bring them running.
01:52Mongo isn't the nicest place to be, is it?
01:55It certainly is not the Riviera.
01:57Can we rest, Father?
01:59Better keep moving if we don't want the cold to get us.
02:03I knew I should have brought my winter tux.
02:09Tell me I didn't hear what I just heard.
02:12A colony of snow beasts!
02:19It doesn't look as though they have any intentions of letting us pass.
02:27We're freezing, Dad.
02:29It is at times like these that I wonder why we left the Caribbean.
02:32There's not a sign of light for a hundred miles.
02:35It's like we're the last two people left.
02:38I'm scared, Dad.
02:40Don't worry, son. We must keep moving.
02:42I know we'll find the others. We must find the others.
02:46I grow tired of waiting, Zorelda.
02:52Be patient a short while longer, mighty Suramon.
02:56I grow weaker by the minute.
02:59I must have Ming's molecules before I waste away altogether.
03:04The ancient curse which binds you also binds me, Suramon.
03:09It is forbidden for me to take the molecules from Prince Crotan.
03:14I can only guide events so that Crotan will give them to me.
03:19At the moment, he plans to launch a missile to force the defenders of the Earth into surrendering.
03:25We've got to find the others and tell them.
03:30There's no time, son.
03:31We must get back to the Imperial City and stop Crotan.
03:36If Crotan succeeds, we may never get Ming's molecules.
03:42My second sight tells me he will fail utterly.
03:47And by tomorrow, he will bring the molecules to me.
03:51Zorelda, there's just one thing that worries me.
03:59Zophoids.
04:01Fear not.
04:02We can thank Ming for one thing.
04:05He wiped the Zophoids off the face of the planet, Mongo.
04:09When the defenders drive Crotan to his knees,
04:13no one will be left to oppose you, mighty Suramon.
04:21If we don't find shelter soon, I'm going to turn into a frost person without Ming's help.
04:33What is it, Zopho?
04:40What's the matter?
04:42Hello? Zopho excited?
04:45Zopho, they're looking for you!
04:47You've got to get out of here, Zopho.
04:52Zophoids. It's a grenade.
04:56Oh!
04:58My... head!
05:01Oh!
05:10You had to ask that guy for directions, didn't you?
05:13Give me a break, Dad.
05:14How was I to know he was a frost person?
05:19So much for blending quietly into the crowd.
05:22Here they come!
05:23Here we go!
05:24I think we lost him.
05:25Yeah.
05:26We should be safe in here.
05:27So long as...
05:29I hope this crate is stamped handled with care.
05:30Uh-oh.
05:31I've got a feeling this is going to be one of those days.
05:34The tree has crystallized.
05:36The tree has crystallized.
05:38Ah-ah!
05:39Ah-ah!
05:40Uh-oh. I've got a feeling this is going to be one of those days.
06:01This tree has crystallized.
06:03I'll distract them. You two make a run for it.
06:20I may be able to throw them off guard long enough for you to mind link with them, Jenna.
06:24Hurry, Mandrake, hurry!
06:26Hear me, Snowbeasts. We are friends.
06:36We need your help.
06:43I think you got through to them.
06:46What's this metal thing we're packed in against?
06:49I hate to say it, but it looks like a kobold bomb.
06:56Those things are capable of destroying whole planets.
06:59I wonder what its destination is.
07:02Here's your answer, Dad.
07:03Get in.
07:19Give me a hand, son.
07:28Where do you think we are?
07:30A cargo hold in some kind of spaceship.
07:33Why do I get the feeling I've been here before?
07:40We've got to stop Crotan from launching that missile.
07:43We can find it. How do you hide a 200-foot missile?
07:46First, we have to get past those guards.
07:48What do you suggest, Dad?
07:58Maybe we can sneak over the wall unnoticed.
08:01I'll go first.
08:10It's got me, Paramon!
08:16I'll be right.
08:19I'll go first.
08:20It's hit by the mountain.
08:22I'll go first.
08:23Ah!
08:24Ah!
08:25Ah!
08:26Oh!
08:27Oh!
08:28Oh!
08:29Ah!
08:30Ah!
08:31Ah!
08:32Ah!
08:33Ah!
08:34Ah!
08:35Ah!
08:36It's this!
08:43Not!
08:45Allow!
08:46Ah!
08:48Ah!
08:49Ah!
08:50your new throne room is complete prince croutan i would have preferred to have you bring me the
09:00defenders but soon the missile will be ready then the defenders of the earth will be mine
09:08how soon my lord they will come crawling to me when they learn i am about to destroy the
09:15precious earth you see father my schemes are far more brilliantly evil than you've ever were
09:22indeed they are prince croutan
09:26must warn the defenders somehow they're mongols only hope of ridding this land of croutan
09:34it must be a storage compartment of course i remember now
09:44this is the beta 2 transport ship the what the ship that brought the giant robot here from beta 2
09:52i've been in this ship i know how it works then what are we waiting for let's go
09:58where i shut down the power where was it
10:08now what
10:20attack them
10:27attack them
10:31attack them
10:38attack them
10:46attack them
10:52attack them
10:57That's the last of them. Let's move!
11:00Thank you, Snow Beasts.
11:10I don't understand. What happened to all the controls?
11:16There's only that thing.
11:18Maybe we're in the wrong part of the ship.
11:20Something's changed, I tell you.
11:22Rick, I flew this heap.
11:23It just doesn't make sense.
11:27Proceed with the missile launching.
11:34Rock, what are you doing here?
11:37No time to explain. Crotan's about to launch up.
11:41Oh, no!
11:43What's that?
11:44We're too late.
11:46We're lifting off.
11:47I know, but to where?
11:51Attention, defenders, wherever you are.
11:54The missile you see flying over your head right now has a cobalt warhead in it and is controlled solely by my own thoughts.
12:04Its destination, planet Earth.
12:06If you don't want to see your precious planet blown to bits, you'll surrender to me now.
12:15Crotan does not give us much of a choice.
12:18If we could get closer to him, we might be able to find a way to stop that missile.
12:23I'll do everything in my power to help you.
12:25So that's it?
12:27We're surrendering?
12:28And we don't even know where Flash and Rick are.
12:37Welcome, defenders.
12:39I have a stimulating diversion plan for you.
12:43Find your way through this maze.
12:45At the end of it is a button.
12:48Press it and it will detonate my missile's warhead.
12:51If you're fast enough, the missile will explode harmlessly in space before it reaches the Earth.
12:58You have 20 minutes left.
13:00Three dogs.
13:02Find that button.
13:04Of course, you won't be alone in there.
13:06I've invited some of my pets to make it more interesting.
13:21It's not possible.
13:23It can't be done.
13:25I don't have a clue as to how that thing works.
13:29There's nothing mechanical about it.
13:31I feel certain that crystal is running this ship.
13:34We've got to find out what makes it operate.
13:37How very clever of you, Flash Gordon.
13:40I assumed you had stood aboard my missile transport.
13:44Crotan, it's a pity you're not here with us to enjoy this little ride.
13:49Thanks for the invitation.
13:51But I'm having too much fun down here.
13:54The other defenders are in my maze.
13:57They're trying to get to the button which detonates the ship.
14:00And you too with it.
14:02Oh, don't worry.
14:04They won't make it there alive.
14:05You see, my robo-dogs are in there with them.
14:10You'll never pull this one off either, Crotan.
14:12Who's to stop me?
14:13Your prisoners are a ship controlled by my thoughts.
14:17Soon you'll be seeing your precious planet Earth.
14:20But not for long.
14:21You slime!
14:24Farewell, Flash!
14:26You should never have told me this ship was thought controlled.
14:30You figured your plan was foolproof, didn't you, Crotan?
14:33I'll see what I can do to dismantle the kobold warhead.
14:36I'll simply retune this thing and will fly by my thoughts, Dad.
14:42If Flash Gordon tries to tamper with the missile's controls, that monitoring device will automatically detonate the warhead.
15:09Watch that monitor for me, Throck.
15:12Notify me of any change.
15:14Yes, Your Majesty.
15:19I certainly will.
15:24Oh, how careless of me.
15:31Ah, that shouldn't do it.
15:38The robo-dogs are coming closer!
15:40We've got to keep moving.
15:41Come on.
16:02Come on.
16:02We've got to find that detonator.
16:06Helge, I'm worried about Kushin.
16:08Where could he be?
16:09Just be glad he's not here.
16:12Kushin, where are you?
16:36He's trapped!
16:37I can't mind Link with robots.
16:39And I can't hypnotize them.
16:42But we can fight on their level.
16:46By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten tigers.
16:53Losar, keep them back with pleasure.
17:11Father, keep them back with pleasure.
17:15And the way to the force of the axe.
17:19Father, the detonator button!
17:29Wait, LJ. This could be another of Proton's tricks.
17:38On the other hand, he went to a lot of trouble to make sure we couldn't reach the detonator.
17:42But who knows what might blow up if we push it!
17:45We saw the missile! This is our only chance to save the Earth! Push it, LJ!
17:50Yes, push it. The missile should have reached the Earth by now. And either way, Flash or we will be destroyed.
18:02Run again, Crotan!
18:05That's Flash's voice! He's getting into Crotan's frequency!
18:09How could you have escaped?
18:10I'm an offender! The target's not Earth! It's Crotan!
18:15You wouldn't dare! You wouldn't!
18:18To stop you, there's nothing I wouldn't do, Crotan!
18:22Impact in one minute!
18:23Please, Flash! I'll just do anything!
18:26Release the others in the terry!
18:34It's done, Flash! They're free!
18:36Now, pull up! Pull up! The Warhead!
18:44Time to leave this heap, son!
18:46Eject!
19:07My throne room! Not again!
19:12Gods! Get them! Get them! They must not escape!
19:20Did you hear me? Obey!
19:23Defenders! You've humiliated me for the last time! I'll destroy you! Even if it costs me my kingdom! I will destroy you all!
19:40Let's fish them out!
19:53Let's fish them out!
19:58Well, team, we're homeward bound!
20:01No, we're not!
20:03You may not have noticed in all this excitement, Flash, but Kashin and Zappi are still missing!
20:08Where are they?
20:09I don't know, but we've got to find them before Crotan does!
20:13Just watch me!
