01:02How much longer am I to wait, Zerelda?
01:07For years you've been promising me release from the ancient curse.
01:12Crotan has that which can restore my power!
01:16How will you get Maine's molecules away from Crotan?
01:20Within the hour, Crotan will give them to me!
01:25To me!
01:27Ha, ha, ha!
01:28Zuffie!
01:35Zuffie!
01:36Now I am on the wall, but not the wall.
01:38Uh, Zuffy?
01:44What's the matter, Zuff? Don't you recognize me?
01:51Hey, which one of you is the real Zuffy?
01:59I thought the subverts were extinct.
02:02Wiped out. Look at them all.
02:06Oh, Zuffy, it's you.
02:13What's that song?
02:15It makes me feel so, so good.
02:26Where did they all come from, Zuff?
02:31You guys escaped from those Zuffoid hunting robots just like we did.
02:36Yeah, they nearly got to us, too.
02:39I wonder what's happened to the other defenders.
02:41We've got to find them. Come on.
02:51Flash, we must find Kashin. And soon.
02:54You don't suppose he's...
02:55Posies.
02:56Don't even think about it, Jetta.
02:58Hold it, guys. I'm picking up something.
03:00It's Kashin's communicator.
03:03Where is he?
03:05Can you pinpoint his location?
03:07Approximately two miles away.
03:09You must help me, Zerelda.
03:28I?
03:29Mighty Prince?
03:30Yes.
03:31You must call upon all the powers you possess.
03:33The defenders of the Earth must be destroyed once and for all.
03:38Such a deed calls for powers beyond those which I possess.
03:43But you must.
03:44They must be destroyed before they destroy me.
03:48There is one way to call a power great enough to destroy your enemies.
03:53Then do it. I don't care how. Do it.
03:56The molecules of your father mean the merciless.
03:59They are what is needed.
04:01Here. Take them.
04:03You would give this to me willingly?
04:07Yes. Yes. Take them.
04:09Even though it could cost you your kingdom?
04:12Even though it may mean your life?
04:23After a thousand years,
04:26free, free, free!
04:30My power is restored.
04:34And thus, Zerelda,
04:35I restore you,
04:37my beautiful thief.
04:41Who?
04:42What are you?
04:45A thousand years ago,
04:47Mongo was ruled
04:48by an immortal overlord
04:51of unlimited power.
04:52But the overlord
04:54was conquered.
04:56That great power
04:57was locked
04:58in the molecules
04:59of your father.
05:02But now,
05:03I have reabsorbed them.
05:05Now,
05:06I
05:06am overlord
05:08once more.
05:09want me to do it.
05:12Oh,
05:13okay.
05:14You're on that.
05:15I'm so scared.
05:16I'm so scared.
05:16You're on that.
05:18I'm so scared.
05:19I'm so scared.
05:19I'm so scared.
05:20I'm so scared.
05:21I'm so scared.
05:22Kishin's communicator signal is coming in stronger.
05:33Exterminate intruders! Exterminate intruders!
05:41Bring him on!
05:45Even stereo blasters won't stop him!
05:52There's too many of them! It's Kishin! With an army of his own!
05:57The boys! Exterminate the boys!
06:18I don't believe it!
06:20Let's go get him!
06:22Thank heaven you're safe, my boy.
06:27Where'd you find all these Zuffoids?
06:29I thought they were extinct except for Zuffy.
06:42Who goes there?
06:44Sudamun!
06:46First and rightful ruler of all Mongo!
06:56The legend lives!
07:00Thorelda, are you certain that no Zuffoids remain on planet Mongo?
07:06Ming had them all exterminated.
07:09Then nothing stands in my way!
07:13Nothing, except the defenders of the Earth. I could steal them away.
07:19Do so!
07:21How good it is to have my old powers back!
07:26Why would Mingo go to so much trouble just to wipe out a bunch of furry little creatures?
07:38I don't know the answer to that, Kishin.
07:40The important thing is that we're all back together.
07:45The important thing is that we're all back together.
07:51It is done, Zoramong.
07:52I have transported them to the ice dungeons below the palace.
07:56Thank you, Zoralda.
07:59I have no further use for you.
08:04So I will dispose of you!
08:16Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this Crotan?
08:20Crotan, you weasel!
08:23What are you up to this time?
08:26Flash Gordon?
08:27Zoramong got you too?
08:29Zora who?
08:31Zoramong.
08:32The original ruler of Mungo.
08:35He's back, and once again in control of Mungo.
08:38Zoramong needed the ancient power that was locked in my father's molecules
08:42to have his full strength restored.
08:45That's why Zoralda told me not to destroy him, to use the Moleculizer.
08:48If we could get our hands on the Moleculizer,
08:51we could reverse the polarity.
08:53And destroy Zoramong by putting Ming back together.
08:56Brilliant, Mandrake!
08:57I hate to steal your thunder, Mandrake,
08:59but we shot that Moleculizer into deep space.
09:02Crotan, are there any ships nearby that we could borrow?
09:05This ice dungeon leads straight into the loading docks.
09:08By jungle law,
09:10the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten Titans.
09:21Lothar and I will try to track down the Moleculizer.
09:24Mandrake and I will find the kids.
09:26And what about me?
09:27You realize what this means?
09:34If we succeed,
09:36we get Ming back.
09:38Excuse us!
09:40Pardon me!
09:41Excuse me!
09:43See if you can find an ion detector on this bucket
10:04to track down the Moleculizer.
10:06The Defenders!
10:15They have escaped!
10:17Impossible!
10:20You will have one chance to live!
10:24Find them!
10:26I warn you, Crotan.
10:28If you fail,
10:30or try to escape Bungle,
10:32I will track you down
10:35and destroy you!
10:40That's it!
10:41That's where the ion tracers are coming from.
10:44Regalian Pleasure Dome.
10:46Oh no!
10:48Moleculizer is in there.
10:59The Bash-o-matic palace.
11:01I've got a very bad feeling about this.
11:10There! Flash!
11:11That creature's got the Moleculizer.
11:13It's the Gorp.
11:15I don't think I can go through this again.
11:17What are you talking about?
11:19When Crotan made his first move on the Earth,
11:21I had to run out on a fight with that same Gorp.
11:28Maybe I'd better handle this.
11:33You know that silicon daiquiri's robbed my hide-mallets.
11:37No Gorp would ever eat that junk.
11:39Excuse me.
11:40I believe you have a Moleculizer with you?
11:42What's it to you?
11:44I wonder if I might convince you to part with him.
11:47You're one of the defenders of the Earth,
11:49and a pal of that new good rat, Flash Gordon.
11:53Where is he?
11:55Tell me where he is, and I'm...
11:59Hide, guy.
12:00Feel like yellow-bellied coward, huh, Gordon?
12:03Listen, Gorp.
12:04I'm not afraid of you or anyone else.
12:06It sure looks like you are.
12:09But since I'm a sporty kind of guy, I'll tell you what.
12:13I won't give you the Moleculizer, but I will thank you for it.
12:18Look, Gordon.
12:20See what I've done with your Moleculizer.
12:22I had it reduced and put in this handy dandy pistol mount.
12:27But the only way you'll ever get it from me is to fight me for it.
12:33I don't want to fight you.
12:35What if it's the only way to get the Moleculizer?
12:39Hey, aren't you supposed to at least wait for the bell?
12:54Get up and make what's coming to you, Gordon.
12:57No fair. I don't have any weapons.
13:10Isn't that just too bad, pretty boy?
13:23Finally, the city's gate.
13:27What are they?
13:31The Snowbeasts.
13:32Hello, good friends.
13:34Rick, I think you should stay here with Kishin and the Xophoids.
13:37What?
13:38It seems somebody wants these creatures extinct.
13:41Rick, who else can protect them?
13:57The Flash is going to get murdered.
14:04I've got to help him somehow.
14:06There you go, buddy.
14:08A silicon daiquiri.
14:10You know that silicon daiquiris rot my hydraulics.
14:14May I borrow this?
14:17Flash, give it to Gordon.
14:20Now you'll know you've been in a fight, Gordon.
14:35Gordon, this has gone far enough.
14:42I'll get you for naught.
14:45No!
14:47A silicon daiquiri!
14:49No!
14:50Gordon!
14:51Gordon!
14:52You tear!
14:53Where's he gone?
14:54Gordon!
14:55Come back and find Gordon!
14:57Come back and take what's coming to you!
15:00Come back and...
15:01Is there a mechanic in the house?
15:05Father!
15:06There is no one!
15:08Ahmed,y-en-drake!
15:09I can't do it!
15:13Father!
15:14Mandrake!
15:15Where is Akashit Rick?
15:16Waiting outside the city for us!
15:18Then we haven't a moment to waste!
15:20Chidda!
15:21Sermon's coming, Chidda!
15:23Crotin!
15:25Jedha! Suramung's coming, Jedha!
15:29Crotan!
15:34After all you've done to me and to my friends, put him on ice!
15:42Suramung knows where we are and he's coming for us!
15:44I do believe he's found us.
15:47The mighty defenders of the Earth are mine at last!
15:51What Crotan and Ming the Merceress would not destroy, I will destroy!
15:57You'll not harm them, Suramung!
16:02Your theatrics cannot deceive me, Magician!
16:06But this is no illusion!
16:14Real magic! But can your powers match mine?
16:21I am the original evil force of Mongo!
16:25My power is limping glass!
16:29The End
16:31What Endeavor
16:32The End
16:33The End
16:34The End
16:35The End
16:36The End
16:37The End
16:38The End
16:39The End
16:41That's what I feel!
16:42You said it, Zop!
16:44How long can we wait, Rick?
16:46We've waited long enough!
16:48Come on, everybody!
16:49Everybody!
16:50I gotta move!
16:51I gotta move!
16:52I gotta move!
16:53I gotta move!
17:04Run!
17:06Run!
17:07There's no escaping me!
17:10We'll see who's going to do the running now.
17:20Fools.
17:24Well, well, what have we here?
17:28I'll just finish you all off at once.
17:39What?
17:40It can't be.
17:54Their singing seems to be affecting you.
17:57Come on, guys, sing louder.
17:59Sopoids.
18:01I thought the Sopoids were all destroyed.
18:04And that's in front, oh, nice.
18:12That's why they tried to destroy all the Sopoids.
18:16Flash, let's do something.
18:18He's about to drop the Moleculizer.
18:20That sound.
18:36What treachery is this?
18:38What has happened to my kingdom?
18:43Oh, Crotan, I should just leave you like this.
18:52Father, you're back.
18:55Then I'm safe from Suramung.
18:56You will soon wish you were dealing with him instead of me.
19:03That's not me.
19:05Hey!
19:06Just you wait, you ungrateful whelp.
19:10The Snowbeast will protect you from now on.
19:16The Sopoids need never fear Ming again.
19:19Gee, Zuff.
19:21Now that you've found your friends again,
19:23I guess you'll want to stay with them
19:25and find your family.
19:30Well...
19:30Goodbye, Zuff.
19:32I'll miss you.
19:48Zuffie!
19:55Kishin, I think Zuffie has already found his family.
20:00See you later.
20:26See you later.
20:28See you later.
20:28Bye.
20:29Bye.
20:29Bye.
