00:00Surrender or pay the consequences.

00:30Courage, peace and freedom, we must own.

00:38We will fight on our honor, put us right.

00:43We'll defend, fight the zone, zone rise.

00:47Earth's most powerful soldiers are Earth's last chance against the spiral zone.

00:56Zone Riders, looks like we're coming to a commercial.

01:06Let's fight the zone.

01:26The imitation suit is almost complete.

01:32Soon we implement my plan.

01:35How can this thing jam the Zone Riders' link?

01:38We don't even know what frequency they're on.

01:41Because it jams a whole range of frequencies, among which is theirs.

01:47And the damaged Zone Rider cycle we recovered.

01:49In perfect running condition.

01:55The Zone Riders will never suspect a thing.

02:02I think you'll find this new device quite interesting.

02:05Not to mention useful.

02:06Simply stick it on any armored circuit.

02:09Push on it once and...

02:11Burn a hole through four inches of hardened steel.

02:17Handy little gadget, what?

02:18Very impressive.

02:20Yes, it's good.

02:22Any of you care to try?

02:24Uh, yes, if you please, Dr. Lawrence.

02:26Dr. Lawrence, overload is on the telescreen.

02:29He says it's crucial that he talk with you.

02:33Dr. Lawrence, the safety of a large portion of the world depends upon your cooperation.

02:40There has been a nuclear accident.

02:43What?

02:43An explosion at the Shantou nuclear power station in the Pacific Northwest Zone.

02:49To prevent the escape of huge amounts of radioactive fallout, you must give me classified information on the design of that power station.

02:58If you refuse, at least half the world will be doomed.

03:03How do we know he is telling the truth?

03:06Before you get any classified information, the Zone Riders will inspect the facility to make sure you're not lying.

03:13Oh, no, you're just trying to use this tragedy to get the Zone Riders in to de-zone this area.

03:20I will not allow it.

03:24Ha, ha, ha, brilliant overlord.

03:26Now they will have to come.

03:28And they will be expecting a battle, so they will never suspect what we're up to.

03:39The Shantou nuclear power station is here.

03:42As you can see, a very rugged area.

03:45A perfect place for a trap.

03:46That may be just what Overlord has in mind.

03:49But we can't be sure.

03:52If Overlord's telling the truth, a meltdown could occur in as little as a few hours.

03:57A radiation release could be carried around the road by the jet stream.

04:01That's why we must check it out.

04:03All right, let's move it.

04:11Even if this isn't a trap, Overlord will be expecting us.

04:15Yeah, right.

04:16Not because he likes it, no.

04:18Hero, take the point.

04:19I know I can depend on you to spot any trouble.

04:22High commander, I will overlook nothing.

04:31There is no sign of them.

04:33The Zone Riders could be landing at Shantou right now.

04:38They won't risk our anti-aircraft batteries there.

04:41They can only come this way.

04:45I got them.

04:50Where?

04:52Over there.

04:53Bandit to Overlord, the Zone Riders are in the South Fork Canyon.

05:08Excellent.

05:09Move in, and remember, keep your Otaka in sight.

05:18Just Diver, get ready. Razorback, move your zoners out.

05:29Spread out toward the river.

05:35Reeper, Razorback, commence firing.

05:44Fire!

05:47Man out!

06:00A trap!

06:04And I led us right into it!

06:06Overlord to Judge Steyer, stand by.

06:19Tuck it to Commander! Tuck it to Commander Carriage!

06:32Cheer in me, Commander!

06:34Achtung! Can anyone hear me?

06:37Bandit, proceed with the plan. I'll be waiting for our guests at the Power Plant.

06:49Here's a present for you, Razorback!

07:02And Icon links out. I can't raise anybody!

07:06Me either. Overlord must be jamming us. Where are the others?

07:10I saw Katarina head for the side of the canyon.

07:15We've got to group up.

07:28We've got to group up.

07:30Katarina's telling us to group up. Let's go!

07:43Hero's pinned down on a fire break about a hundred feet up the north wall. He can't get back.

08:00Black Widows, all zoners, cease fire!

08:07Now, Hero Taka, you are allowed to come out.

08:15Stop firing!

08:16Now's our chance. Come on!

08:18I must go.

08:24Here comes Hero.

08:25Hero!

08:39Hero! No!

08:43Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.

08:46And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.

08:59He's gone!

09:01The missile came out of those rocks.

09:03Whoever fired it is gonna pay!

09:07Back in formation, Lieutenant.

09:09You're not the only one who just lost a friend.

09:11And unless we complete this mission,

09:13we lost Hero in vain.

09:15Yes, sir. I understand.

09:17Fire!

09:19If we don't take out those guns, we'll never get through.

09:22Aim just below the top of the cliff.

09:26Here comes Hero.

09:27See you!

09:28If we don't take out those guns, we'll never get through.

09:29If we don't take out those guns, we'll never get through.

09:31Aim just below the top of the cliff.

09:32Aim just below the top of the cliff.

10:02Aim just below the cliff.

10:09Aim just below the cliff.

10:23Aim just below the cliff.

10:29We can't outflack him.

10:47One way or the other, we've got to go through him.

10:49Hero, I can't believe it.

10:59I had a feeling he was all right.

11:06If that reactor is really going to melt down, we don't have much time left.

11:10All right, let's move it.

11:10Not just dire to Overlord, success is assured.

11:22They think I am the hero talker.

11:26Excellent.

11:28Bring them in.

11:40Hero to Commander Courage, come in.

11:45Hero to Zone Riders, can anyone hear me?

11:56Here they go.

12:00There are seven of them.

12:02Someone is impersonating me.

12:04Commander, look out!

12:08Come in, Commander.

12:09Oh, my company is out.

12:12I must catch up with them.

12:13Warn them.

12:14Now.

12:18Wait.

12:19The grappler.

12:30At least there aren't any more zoners around.

12:39Bandit to Overlord.

12:46The Zone Riders just passed.

12:48Still following such a sire.

12:51Follow them, but stay out of sight.

12:54I'll have Weeper move into position to join you.

12:57A sledgehammer tank is coming.

12:58A sledgehammer tank is coming.

13:17Ah, here comes my transportation.

13:19I must ask you not to call your friends.

13:41I just love knocking you little guys around.

13:52Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

13:55What?

13:57Ah, ha, my turn to have fun.

14:00Oh.

14:00This is it.

14:07If Overlord's telling the truth, we're getting pretty close to Meltdown.

14:10Not just a sire to Overlord.

14:27Everything is just ducky.

14:29We've arrived at the containment building.

14:32Excellent.

14:32Once the Zone Riders enter, they will never get out.

14:40Wow, looks like Hero's going to stand guard for us.

14:43Max, you stay outside, too, in case we have visitors.

14:46Right.

14:47Go!

14:52Spread out around the containment building.

15:10This will keep Reaper and Bandit busy.

15:19This way.

15:28Bandit?

15:28We heard it.

15:30Zoners, follow me and Reaper.

15:31Zoners, spread out.

15:46Reapers, come with me.

15:50Hero?

15:51What is blazer?

15:55What the heck is going on?

15:56Tank, stay here and keep this hall clear.

16:02Not much time left, Commander.

16:06Empty.

16:12Everything is fine.

16:13No accident, no meltdown.

16:20It's a blinking trap.

16:22You have concluded your final mission, Zone Riders.

16:27Lay down your weapons.

16:29Then remove your helmets and taste the Zone.

16:34Where is he?

16:35One-way glass and one way to find him.

16:38I have him on Opti-Scan.

16:43Crook, go assist Duchess Dyer.

16:46I will not tell you again, Commander.

16:49Surrender.

16:50Surrender.

16:51The rest of your team has already been captured.

16:54Try anything foolish, and I will start a meltdown.

17:00We don't have any choice.

17:02Lay down your weapons.

17:04Now your helmets.

17:11Sacre bleu!

17:13Da rieul iirantaka!

17:14Overlord's gone.

17:31Now's our chance.

17:33Concentrate your fire on the door.

17:35All right, hold your fire.

17:49It's like trying to cut through ice with a feather.

17:52And sooner or later, ice melts.

17:55Keep firing.

17:58My jamming device.

18:00Blaster Zone Riders.

18:02The comb-links are working again.

18:06We have time, too.

18:08I did.

18:09Tank, Hero, Max.

18:10When we start blasting, rush them.

18:12Now!

18:19Come the back way!

18:28Max, you and Tank go after them.

18:29Hero find a switch that opens this door.

18:31It appears you have been found out, Duchess.

18:39Yes, by Hero Taka.

18:41Thanks to your bulky aid.

18:44Overlord to Zonas.

18:46Don't let the Zone Riders out of the containment building.

18:50Follow me.

18:52Uh-oh.

18:52Time to move on the shoes.

18:55The controls are damaged, Commander.

18:56I will attempt to open the door manually.

18:58Have a fair dinkum job, Mike.

19:18Thank Dr. Lawrence.

19:20Hero, Ben, knock out the generator

19:34The rest of us will go after Overlord

19:35This is for you, hero

19:50Overlord to Black Widows

20:00Withdraw to the intruder

20:02Great shot, hero

20:14It was sufficient

20:16Wow, that's one less nuclear reactor in Overlord's hands

20:43Not to mention all the people we freed from the zone

20:45Hero, I have failed you and the zone riders

20:51Because of my negligence, Overlord was able to surprise us

20:56You were almost captured

20:57Fail, you kidden

21:00If it weren't for you, we'd all be zoned

21:02Yeah, but you did was wonderful

21:05Ah, listen, Mike

21:07Now one could have pulled the job off barely

21:09Listen to me, hero

21:10Every time we go on a mission, the odds are against us coming back

21:13Getting into trouble is bound to happen

21:15But getting out of trouble is what we count on each other for

21:18That's what makes us a team

21:20And we are proud of your part in making us the best

21:23Aye, the very best

21:26We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action

21:31And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure
