01:17We has to squeeze and Tara from the Earth.

01:20We go back here!

01:23Superia work, Chief Gunner.

01:46Emperor Ming will be pleased.

01:48Prepare to...

01:49Correct, look.

01:53Fire.

02:14It is useless.

02:16Lasers will not stop them.

02:18Freeze rays.

02:19Maximum power.

02:20Move.

02:23It isn't stopping them.

02:32Then concentrate your rays on one creature at a time.

02:35Mission accomplished, my Lord Ming.

03:01The cave slugs are aboard, and frozen solid.

03:06Excellent, Carax.

03:07Return immediately to Ice Station Earth.

03:10My plans are proceeding well.

03:12Have the tests been completed, Octon?

03:17As you ordered, sire.

03:20Here are the results.

03:23The Gaborian cave slug.

03:26It can and does eat anything.

03:30Including metal, laser beams, even rock.

03:33It pays no attention to other forms of life, as long as it is left alone.

03:40But attack only one.

03:42And the cave slug uses telepathy to call to others of its kind.

03:47Your freeze ray, sire, is the only thing that can stop them.

03:58Magnificent creatures.

03:59Magnificent creatures, fitting gifts for this miserable world.

04:05Proceed with my plan.

04:07You know the first target.

04:09Quickly, before the ice melts.

04:28So, what do you think, Zuff?

04:45Is Ming the Merciless in for trouble, or what?

04:53Where are you off to, Kashin?

04:55While the guys are fixing Dynak, Ming's hordes may be swarming through tunnels below.

05:00And I'm gonna drive them back.

05:02All by yourself?

05:04Sure, Flash.

05:05Probably all kinds of space monsters down there, too.

05:08But don't worry.

05:09Me and Zuffie...

05:11Isn't it rather dangerous?

05:13Lothar, defenders aren't afraid of little danger.

05:16Well, I'm sure you two can handle it.

05:18But let us know if you and Zuffie want any backup.

05:21Oh, sure.

05:22Come on, Zuff.

05:25This is it, Zuff.

05:27You ready?

05:28Take that.

05:29And that.

05:30I thought you had me, huh?

05:32No.

05:33No.

05:34No.

05:35No.

05:36No.

05:37No.

05:38No.

05:39No.

05:40No.

05:41No.

05:42No.

05:43No.

05:44No.

05:45No.

05:46No.

05:47No.

05:48No.

05:49No.

05:50No.

05:51No.

05:52No.

05:53No.

05:54No.

05:56No.

05:58No.

05:59The responders are never scared, Zuff.

06:02Ah, come on, Zuff. We see a bad guy and we...

06:06Watch that!

06:29In the caves! A... A monster! It's awesome! With huge armor! Three eyes, four eyes, and legs!

06:48It was eating rocks, heading right for us! I gotta stop it quick!

06:53Yeah!

07:03Oh, thanks, Kashin. We'll keep an eye out for any monsters.

07:07Flash? You don't... You don't believe me? Lothar?

07:19What was that all about?

07:21A 100-foot, three-eyed monster?

07:25Four eyes.

07:26Ah, my young assistant's imagination is at work again.

07:32Nobody believes me, Zuff.

07:34But you saw it, too. The monster is real!

07:37If Dynak was working, she'd prove it.

07:42Come on, Zuff. It's up to us.

07:45Good. Good, my pet. And soon. Soon.

07:57Soon.

08:13Proof. They want proof, Zuff. We'll give them proof.

08:16I'm not even scared.

08:21Even though it is very dangerous.

08:26Quiet, Zuff.

08:32There it is.

08:34We've gotta stop it before it eats its way right into the monitor.

08:37Well, here it goes.

08:42Okay, monster.

08:44Stop in the name of the Defenders of the Earth.

08:51So, you wanna play rough, do you?

08:55Take this!

08:56This!

09:01A Defender never quits.

09:03I just need a bigger rock.

09:05A Defender never quits.

09:31Quick! Zuff! Up here!

09:36Oh, Zuffie!

09:38I'm sorry for getting you into this.

09:40Zuffie, get down!

09:42We're... we're trapped!

09:51Seismograph.

09:53More of those strange tremors.

09:55Rick, did you get Dynak hooked up yet?

09:57Yeah. Dynak, give us a reading on those tremors.

09:59The disturbance is coming from cave branch 18G.

10:03Centered 163 meters from monitor.

10:06Switching to visual inspection.

10:11What in the world?

10:13Kashin and Zuffie!

10:15Met alert!

10:17There's a hostile intruder in cave 18G.

10:19Kashin and Zuffie are in immediate, repeat, immediate danger.

10:30Kashin! Zuffie! Hold on!

10:34We're okay, Flash!

10:36But hurry!

10:38Let's try not to do any harm.

10:40Maybe we can push the creature back with presser beams.

10:42What can stop it?

10:47Hit these rocks?

10:48Hit these presser beams?

10:50Can you turn it around?

10:51How about big shot, Flash?

10:53Maybe bounce the beams off the back wall?

10:56Gotcha, LJ!

11:02Get set!

11:03Go!

11:04Jump!

11:06Kashin!

11:07Jump!

11:08Kashin!

11:09Jump!

11:14You said he was awesome, Kashin!

11:16He's humongous!

11:18I didn't want to frighten you guys.

11:20Come on!

11:27I'm really sorry I didn't believe you, buddy.

11:30That's okay, Flash.

11:34Well?

11:35What are you waiting for?

11:36Come on and give us a hand, young defender.

11:39All right!

11:49The creature's breaking out.

11:51It's heading for Central City.

11:54Ockton,

11:55it is time to place the slugs all over the Earth.

12:00Yes, sire.

12:01My control of Earth is about to begin.

12:07He, he, he, he, he, he, he!

12:09Unit 108, three blocks north of Central.

12:29The city is under attack.

12:32We need backup.

12:33A giant creature is eating the whole block.

12:39We've got to be careful not to make that thing any matter.

12:42You're right, son.

12:43Much too risky for the townspeople.

12:45We've got to get it out of the city.

12:47Perhaps an illusion.

12:48Not this time.

12:49I think it'll take a little more muscle.

12:52Now you're talking.

12:53There it is.

12:58Keep her revved up, Rick.

12:59May need to bail out of here in a hurry.

13:09Well, here goes nothing.

13:13Set him to stun.

13:14Don't want to hurt the guy.

13:16Just get his attention.

13:18And...

13:19Fire!

13:23Slow Defender!

13:29Okay, son.

13:30Get us out of here.

13:34You got it.

13:35Operation almost completed, my lord B.

13:46Excellent.

13:47Excellent.

13:51Slug number one in position in London.

13:56Number two in position in Washington, D.C.

14:00Number three in position in Egypt.

14:08Slow down, son.

14:09Huh?

14:10Don't tell me I lost him.

14:12Boy, for something that big and ugly,

14:13he sure is slowing.

14:14Look out!

14:37Everybody, head for high ground.

14:44Let me give you a hand, my friend.

14:57Sire, all the Gaborian cave slugs

15:00are awaiting your command to attack.

15:03But, Octon,

15:04I will not have to give the command.

15:07The Defenders will do it for me.

15:09Their first attack on that rogue slug

15:12will trigger a telepathic link with slugs

15:15in all the major cities of the world.

15:20Well, I'm open for any bright ideas.

15:23I think it's time to call out the cavalry.

15:25Dynak, come in.

15:26Yes, Rick?

15:27Dynak, what can you dig up on this creature?

15:30There is no record of the species.

15:31However, my sensors show that Ming's vessels

15:35have placed similar creatures

15:36in or near every major city on Earth.

15:42Help!

15:44Kachim!

15:49Help!

15:52Kachim!

15:53Kachim!

16:04Kachim!

16:05Quick, Mandrake!

16:07Quick, Eldy!

16:08Tie this off!

16:09Right, Dad!

16:11Hurry!

16:12Please, hurry!

16:13Wait!

16:23What happened?

16:27You almost ended up as a snack for that slug.

16:32It has begun.

16:34The slugs have formed the telepathic link.

16:38Now they will attack and destroy.

16:40Only when the Earth submits to my control.

16:44Only then will I stop them.

16:49Dynak, we need help.

16:51Find a way to destroy it.

16:53Wait, Rick.

16:54Let me try a mind link with the creature.

16:57Hold it, Dynak.

16:59I'm too far away.

17:01I must get closer.

17:03The creature is frightened, Jedha.

17:05Be careful.

17:06I will, Father.

17:08It means there's no real harm.

17:09Jedha!

17:16Creature, we mean you no harm.

17:20Of course I understand.

17:22It attacked us only because we attacked it.

17:25It's safe to come down!

17:27I've promised the creature we will not hurt it.

17:28We will not hurt it.

17:35They have made peace with the creatures.

17:38If they will not provoke the slugs, then I will.

17:41I will.

17:53Look! We're being attacked!

17:55Everybody's back here!

17:56Lothar and I will cover you!

18:08Please, no! No!

18:09No!

18:10No!

18:11No!

18:12No!

18:13No!

18:14No!

18:15No!

18:16No!

18:17No!

18:18No!

18:31Phantom!

18:33Behind you!

18:34Behind you!

18:39By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten tigers.

19:04No! No! Please do not call the others!

19:24I thought it was mad when it was after us.

19:29What is it, Dynak?

19:30In cities all over Earth, the creatures turned on Ming's forces and destroyed them.

19:36And that's the end of that.

19:41Not quite. Shouldn't we tell it thanks?

19:45All it wants to do is go home.

19:47I know you have to go home.

19:49But, you know, I used to think that being brave, but not being afraid to fight...

19:56See, but now, now I know it isn't enough.

20:00You gotta be sure who and what you're fighting about.

20:04You know?

20:06Goodbye.

20:07Goodbye, friend.

20:08Goodbye.

20:10He says goodbye, my friend.

20:12Goodbye.

20:28Goodbye.

20:29Goodbye.

20:30Goodbye.

20:31Goodbye.

20:32Goodbye.

20:33Goodbye.

20:34Goodbye.

20:35Goodbye.

20:36Goodbye.
