01:03Radaton!
01:04Once you held the universe in the palm of your hand!
01:08And made it tremble at the mention of your name!
01:11But your reckless desire for still more power!
01:15Has left you!
01:17Ruler of these barren rocks!
01:20The necklace of Oros is in another dimension!
01:24In the possession of the Earthling Jetta Walker!
01:28With the necklace in my possession!
01:31And here in this universe, where it belongs!
01:35I will prove my worth to you as a leader!
01:40We grant you this one wish, Radaton!
01:44We will supply the energy you need to build the bridge to the other dimension!
01:50The universe of the Earthlings!
01:52You will only have a short time before the bridge!
01:56Your only way back to this universe is withdrawn!
02:02This time I shall not fail!
02:06The necklace of Oros will be mine!
02:10So be it!
02:13The bridge!
02:17The bridge!
02:30My crystal chamber!
02:33Destroyed!
02:35But who could have done this?
02:38Radaton!
02:40This is your last chance!
02:43We will not help you again!
02:48I will not fail again!
02:51Who has penetrated my stronghold and destroyed it?
02:58Show me!
02:59I command you!
03:10I will not aim to bring magic heroes!
03:12We will not fail again!
03:13I will fall again once!
03:15I will not fail again once!
03:17Two engines!
03:18We will not fail again!
03:20Focus!
03:21I have the antegravity weapon!
03:23I will not fail again!
03:247 Heavy Master!
03:25Oct 23 3
03:31Both of them!
03:32Garrett's here, mighty thing! I have the anti-gravity weapon!
03:37Of course! Me, the merciless!
03:51I don't know about this, Rick. Are you sure this is safe? What is it gonna prove?
03:56We've gotta find out more about what the necklace can do, right?
03:59This is a test of its telepathic powers.
04:02Your phantom blood gives you certain telepathic abilities, Jedha.
04:05We need to know how the necklace enhances that power.
04:08Give me a reading, Dynak.
04:10Any information on the necklace?
04:12Energy level, normal.
04:14I'm increasing the power, Jedha.
04:16All scans remain normal.
04:18Dynak X will convert your thoughts into holographic images in the battle simulation room.
04:23I'll try, Rick.
04:29Concentrate, Jedha.
04:32Psychic energy levels are increasing.
04:36You've done it, Jedha! Great!
04:39You said Graviton told you the necklace could suspend time.
04:42Do you feel up to trying, Jedha?
04:44If it helps, let's go for it.
04:48Energy levels are increasing rapidly.
04:51It's actually happening!
04:58Energy levels reaching maximum scanning range.
05:03The strain is too great for her, Rick.
05:05I'll stop it immediately.
05:07Hey, what's going on?
05:11I'm floating!
05:13Dynak, there seems to be no gravity.
05:15The force of gravity has been disrupted.
05:18Rick, stop this experiment!
05:20I would if I could reach the controls!
05:22Honest, Phantom!
05:31You want to go higher?
05:36Okay, here goes!
05:38Hey! What's going on?
05:43Zoppy! Help!
05:46Hang on, Zoppy!
05:53Rick, help!
05:54Someone help me!
05:57Jenna! Rick! Help her, please!
06:01I'm trying! I can't reach her!
06:12We've got to get down!
06:14You have a back!
06:28Jenna!
06:31I think there is more to the Necklace of Oros than I really want to know.
06:51The first test worked perfectly.
06:55The surface of the Earth was weightless space for 20 seconds.
06:59The next time, it will last forever!
07:04Yes, Zoppy!
07:06Ming, you promised my Netherworld will remain unharmed.
07:11You have my word, Javier!
07:14And, of course, once you have rid the Earth's surface of all humanity,
07:18I shall own all the planet's precious metals.
07:21Hmm.
07:22I do not want your anti-gravity machine here, Ming.
07:29It must remain at the center of gravity, deep in the heart of planet Earth.
07:34The anti-gravity machine will have served its purpose, Adia, when I have the Necklace of Oros in my hands, and the people of Earth's surface have been destroyed!
07:43The Necklace is the one thing on Earth worth saving!
07:49The power of this necklace must be very great!
07:52I have always had a great love of jewelry!
07:57Tell me, mighty Ming, how may I see this Necklace of Oros?
08:02I must see it!
08:03Dynak, report on Jedha's condition!
08:14All life processes continue to grow weaker!
08:17There must be something we can do!
08:20What we need is an answer.
08:22We just wanted to see what powers the Necklace of Oros really had.
08:26It's all my fault!
08:27It's not your fault, Rick. Jedha knew the risks involved. I'm taking her to the Bandar.
08:34Do you think they can help her?
08:36The jungle holds many secrets, Mandrake. I know one of the Bandar can save Jedha.
08:41Let me go with you, Phantom. I want to help.
08:44So do I, Phantom!
08:46The ship is being prepared for launching.
08:49Is Jedha gonna be alright, Mandrake?
08:52We hope so, Gashin.
08:53I know she'll be okay.
08:58We're clear for takeoff.
09:00Are you ready, Rick?
09:01Ready.
09:11Warning! Warning! Robo-ships incoming!
09:17Better get on the laser cannons.
09:20I'm gonna hit the sky.
09:23Whenever you pass.
09:42You boys picked the wrong day to mess with me.
09:46You guys picked the wrong day to mess with me.
09:47Attention! Attention! Intruder alert!
10:13You hear that, Zuff? It's up to us to stop the intruders.
10:20The girl isn't here! We must find that necklace!
10:28Where is Cheddar Walker?
10:33She is gone!
10:36It was you, Garax, who destroyed my crystal cave!
10:45Destroy Garax! Destroy him!
10:49We must find the girls!
10:54Wow! That must be how the intruders got in.
10:58Back to the netherworld!
11:06I didn't see any sign of life or the village when we landed.
11:09You don't see the Bandar natives unless they want you to see them.
11:16Mishiwanto, Phantom.
11:18Welcome, Phantom.
11:20It is good to see you, too, my friend.
11:22Take us to your chief, Guran.
11:25Come.
11:31There is nothing more you can do.
11:33There is nothing more, brother.
11:35It is now up to Jenna.
11:37Don't leave me.
11:55There is nothing more you can do.
11:57There is nothing more you can do.
12:01That went down on the ground.
12:02Aaaaah!
12:03RICK!
12:04RICK!
12:12Aaaaaph!
12:13Aaaaah!
12:14Aaaaaah!
12:17Aaaaah!
12:18WAIT!
12:19Do what you want with me!
12:20Just don't hurt her!
12:22Jedha! Jedha is in danger!
12:35Wait!
12:37I want the defenders of the Earth alive!
12:41Phantom!
12:43There is no escape! Surrender, Phantom!
12:46Refuse, Phantom!
12:47Refuse, and I will destroy the entire Bandar village!
12:51And remember, I have your daughter as well!
12:55Who are you? And what is it you want?
12:58I am Hadea, Queen of the Netherworld!
13:01And I want the Necklace of Oros!
13:17What is this place?
13:19My kingdom, the Netherworld!
13:22This is your world now!
13:25You will never see sunlight again!
13:27Have the prisoners kneel before me!
13:37What is it you want with us?
13:39For ten thousand years, the ruler of the Netherworld has chosen a mate from those who dwell above!
13:47It is now my turn!
13:49That is why you were spared!
13:51I have chosen my consort!
13:53You!
13:54You!
13:55The one they call the ghost who walks!
13:58I am honored, Queen, Hadea!
14:01But this can never be!
14:03You refuse to be my king and to rule with me?
14:07Bring the one called Jedha to me!
14:09Does she belong to you, Phantom?
14:13She does not belong to anyone!
14:15She is my daughter, Jedha!
14:17She is rapidly growing weaker!
14:19I had hoped the Bandar could save her!
14:22I can save her!
14:23Give me your word that you will become my consort and I will restore her health!
14:28And you will return her?
14:30And my young friends too?
14:32Soon there will be no world for them to return to!
14:35Ming will see to that!
14:38Ming?
14:39You leave me no choice, Hadea!
14:41I agree to your terms!
14:44How soon can the young people return to Earth's surface?
14:47Take her to my chamber!
14:51In time you will see, Phantom!
14:54You will forget about that blue sky you once knew!
14:58You can't sell out!
15:00I am not selling out, Rick!
15:02I am buying time!
15:04So young and so beautiful!
15:10And in command of such power!
15:16Bring me the copy of the Necklace of Oros!
15:19Jedha will never know she's wearing the fake!
15:25My jewelers did their work well!
15:27Not only will I own all the precious metals of Earth,
15:31but the power of the Necklace of Oros now belongs to someone who is not afraid to use it!
15:37Awake now, Jedha Walker!
15:39Awake!
15:40Awake!
15:45That robo-ship attack was just a diversion!
15:47For this!
15:48Yes, but why didn't they hit the battle station once they were inside?
15:52They left because what they were looking for was not here!
15:55What's that?
15:56The Necklace of Oros!
15:58And Jedha!
15:59We must go to the Bandar village!
16:01What could be going on in there?
16:03What could be going on in there?
16:08Father!
16:09Get up!
16:10I have kept my part of the bargain, Phantom!
16:14The ghost who walks keeps his promises!
16:17Come, child!
16:19Embrace your new mother!
16:21No!
16:22I don't understand, Father!
16:24What is she talking about?
16:27Ming!
16:28What are you doing here?
16:30All together again!
16:33How splendid!
16:35How dare you enter without my permission!
16:38Silence!
16:39You have something I want!
16:41The defenders are my prisoners!
16:43Mine to do it as I choose!
16:46Take them!
16:47Take them all!
16:53You will pay for this, Ming, if it's the last thing I do!
16:57Guards!
17:11Begin the attack!
17:13Attack!
17:17Get the safety!
17:22All of you!
17:26Father!
17:28Father!
17:29You have to go!
17:30You have to go!
17:31No!
17:32No!
17:33Father!
17:34You have to go!
17:35No!
17:36No!
17:37No!
17:38No!
17:39No!
17:41No!
17:42No!
17:43No!
17:44This barrier is impenetrable. Nothing can pass through it. We are safe here.
17:53Gena!
17:57Father!
17:59Galax, gather the prisoners. We are returning to Ice Station Earth.
18:04Mane, you have something that belongs to me.
18:10Graviton, you will see what it means to cheat Graviton.
18:22Graviton, wait!
18:24The homing signal's coming in loud and clear.
18:33The Phantom and the Young Ones were all taken prisoner.
18:36We fought against the weapons of light and fire, but they were all stronger.
18:41Weapons of fire and light? That means just one thing. It had to be me.
18:47Well, how do we get inside?
18:49How about this way?
18:54Shall we go?
18:55How long can you keep this illusion, Mandrake?
19:01It's all a matter of concentration.
19:03If you concentrate with the same intensity you employ in our chess games, Mandrake, we'd best hurry.
19:10Enjoy the view while you can, Earthlings. Soon your planet will be mine.
19:15Or, should I say, what's left of it?
19:19Perhaps I shall put you three on exhibit.
19:22The last living Earth creatures in the universe.
19:31You cannot destroy billions of innocent people, Ming!
19:35Who will stop me? The defenders of the Earth?
19:39Lost my concentration.
19:46Checkmate.
19:47I have come for what belongs to me, the Necklace of Oros.
19:57Yes.
19:59Of course.
20:00You will all get what you rightfully deserve.
20:04Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
