02:02Who are you?
02:03I am Kronos!
02:04I am Kronos!
02:05Destroyer of universes!
02:09And you are doomed!
02:19Kashin!
02:24Kashin!
02:25Are you alright?
02:26Yeah!
02:27I just had a bad dream!
02:29You and I were in this strange place!
02:31And we were separated!
02:32And then the ground under us started to crumble!
02:35Oh, it was awful!
02:37I had the same nightmare, Kashin!
02:39What's it mean, Mandrake?
02:41I don't know!
02:43I don't know!
02:44I don't get it!
02:46Are you sure it's not Dynax wiring, Lothar?
02:49She seems fine to me, Flash!
02:52Data scans indicate no unusual energy in the area of the Salisbury Plane!
02:58Something very weird is going on here!
03:01Did you say, weird?
03:03Explain yourself, Flash!
03:05Dynax sensors are picking up a cloud of static,
03:08continually flickering in and out of existence!
03:11Over the Salisbury Plane?
03:12Yeah!
03:13You know the place, Mandrake?
03:14What's there?
03:15Stonehenge!
03:17It was in my dream!
03:23I can't believe Mandrake and I dreamed the very same dream!
03:27Hey!
03:28Maybe we should ask our old friend Enigma about this mystery!
03:35Okay, friend!
03:36You sure have helped us solve a lot of mysteries lately!
03:39Can you explain why Mandrake and I have the same dream?
03:43What in the world?
03:45Looks like some kind of plan!
03:49Mandrake, what's Stonehenge?
03:51It is a circle of ancient, huge, rough-cut stones in Salisbury, England, Kashin.
03:56No one knows exactly who placed them there.
03:58Some scholars believe that Stonehenge was connected with sun worship.
04:01Others say it served as an astronomical...
04:04Look! The Enigma book has a blueprint showing how to build it!
04:07Something's happened at Stonehenge.
04:10Kashin, I want you to copy that diagram for me.
04:13And don't let this book out of your sight!
04:17Dynax not getting a reading on the energy.
04:20Dynax can't analyze this kind of energy flash.
04:23Something from another dimension is trying to break through into our plane of existence.
04:26And we must stop it!
04:29Then what are we waiting for, Mandrake?
04:31Let's go!
04:41There! It's done!
04:43What were you drawing, Kashin?
04:44The blueprint for building Stonehenge!
04:46You're talking about something that's thousands of years old!
04:49Ancient astronomers used Stonehenge as a calendar to predict eclipses of the sun and moon.
04:53Isn't there supposed to be a solar eclipse today?
04:56That's right, Rick!
04:58Do you think there's a connection between the eclipse and the strange energy readings Dynax has been tracking?
05:04Maybe the Enigma book has the answer, Kashin!
05:11Our parents are in danger!
05:13We've gotta warn them!
05:14Welcome, Defenders! I have been waiting for you!
05:24Who are you?
05:26I am no less Cronus!
05:29Enter the circle, and I will explain!
05:33Do not enter the circle, Flash!
05:36No cloud of smoke will frighten me, Mandrake!
05:38We're coming in!
05:44Mandrake! Get out of there! You're in danger!
05:46Too late, Kashin!
05:47You shall remain here, as part of the monument!
05:48As each of you falls under my power, I draw light from you, and penetrate deeper into your world!
05:54Now, we will be able to see you!
05:56You shall remain here, as part of the monument!
05:58Mandrake! Get out of there! You're in danger!
06:00Too late, Kashin!
06:02You shall remain here, as part of the monument!
06:04As each of you falls under my power, I draw light from you, and penetrate deeper into your world!
06:17Now, Magician, to deal with you!
06:27Cronus! What is it you want?
06:30You have something of my conjurer!
06:34A book! I want it!
06:38Your power does not extend beyond these stones, Cronus!
06:42You will bring it to me!
06:46If I do not have the book within three hours, I will destroy these statues, one by one!
07:06Three hours, Magician!
07:16One!
07:18One!
07:22Dad, come in!
07:24Lothar, can anyone hear me?
07:26Why don't they answer me?
07:28We can't wait here all day to find out!
07:30We're not gonna!
07:32Kashin, bring that book with you!
07:34Let's go!
07:35TURN to the end!
07:36No!
07:40TURN!
07:42Yeah!
07:43Ah!
07:45Ah!
07:47Oh!
07:49Ah!
07:50Ah!
07:52Ah!
07:54Ah!
07:55Ah!
07:57Ah!
07:59Ah!
08:00You did not give Kronos the book, I trust.
08:08How could I, my teacher, when you told me it was not mine to give?
08:12But why does this Kronos want it? What is the book?
08:16To tell you that, I must tell you of the land of magic.
08:21Another dimension which long ago was ruled by a man named Enigma.
08:30Enigma, master of mysteries, who lived only to share his knowledge for the good of others.
08:40But a sorcerer named Kronos sought to rule the land of magic and cast a spell on Enigma.
08:50An Enigma turned Kronos' spell around so that he could still impart his wisdom to others.
09:01Enigma is the book.
09:04Precisely.
09:04It found its way to our world and began teaching early man in the ways of tools and building.
09:15Then, I found the book and it taught me the way of its homeland, the ways of magic.
09:24With its help, I created the Great College of Magic.
09:33But why has Kronos come for the book now?
09:36Kronos is a cruel ruler.
09:38He conquered, then he destroyed the land of magic.
09:42Even the stars are gone.
09:46There is very little magic in our world, Theron.
09:49Kronos' powers are limited here.
09:51Kronos plans to use Enigma's knowledge to bring his magic here so that he may conquer our universe.
10:02Whatever happens, that book must not be allowed to fall into Kronos' hands.
10:09And you must not enter Stonehenge itself under any condition.
10:13Theron and I are working on a formula to restore Flash and the others.
10:16What's the book say, Kishin?
10:21It just shows Stonehenge.
10:24Stonehenge is the last place Mandrake said it should be.
10:27Whatever the reason, we're taking it there.
10:30Maybe the book helped to build Stonehenge.
10:34Maybe it designed Stonehenge as a door back to the land of magic.
10:39Sure. The door swings both ways.
10:41But it doesn't explain why the book wants to go there.
10:44How can I help at all, Theron?
10:51By taking this with you.
10:54For if you carry this crystal ball,
10:57you carry my magic with you.
11:02We must hurry back.
11:03There it is. Stonehenge.
11:09Dad! Dad!
11:10Dad!
11:11Kishin, does the book say anything about how to bring them back to life?
11:16It just shows this stone tape.
11:18Look, there's one like it over there.
11:21No, Rick!
11:22Mandrake said not to enter the circle.
11:24Maybe we can lasso them in with the rope.
11:30If we pulled them out of there, it might break the spell.
11:33Anything's worth a try at this point.
11:35I've got a better idea.
11:37Kishin, what are you doing?
11:40Rona!
11:41You want this?
11:42Yes, it is mine!
11:47Kishin!
11:48Forget it!
11:50You impudent wealth!
11:52I'll destroy you!
11:55Not without this, you won't!
11:57Give the book to me!
12:01God bless you give me something first!
12:04What?
12:06Restore Flash, Rothar, and the Phantom to life!
12:09What a very good idea!
12:17Very well!
12:19I shall give your elders back to you!
12:23Ah!
12:36Run!
12:38Get the book to destroy them!
12:43Run!
12:44Run!
12:45Dino!
12:46Run!
12:50Run!
12:51Run! Hurry! Run! Run!
12:53Oh, no! Run! Look out!
13:09Mandrake, where are you? Hurry! Hurry!
13:14I'm coming as fast as I can, Jenna.
13:16Dead time! Darker than ever, Dad!
13:21Hey, Dad, it's me, Rick!
13:28Leave him alone! Call back your monsters!
13:32This is what you want? Why don't you come after me?
13:36Because, little one, I'm saving you for last!
13:42Bring them within the stones!
13:48Dad, no! No, don't!
13:56Dad!
13:58Please!
14:01No! Put him down!
14:03Just one more, and then I and my powers will be fully materialized in this world!
14:16No!
14:19Jenna!
14:20Ah!
14:23Ah!
14:26Father, no! Please!
14:32Mandrake! Don't let the door inside!
14:35Don't worry, Kushin. We'll help, Jenna.
14:38Theron, quickly!
14:39Fear not, Mandrake! And shield your eyes!
14:43No!
14:44No!
14:45Ow!
14:46Ow!
14:47Ow!
14:48Ow!
14:49Ow!
14:50Ow!
14:52Ow!
14:54Ow!
14:56Ah!
14:57Ah!
14:59Free! Free!
15:01At last I am free!
15:03Seize the boy!
15:04Take the book from you!
15:05I will finish the conjurer myself!
15:06Run, Kushin! Run!
15:07Theron! Help the ship!
15:08Theron! How are we going to stop that creature?
15:09If you can get me within range of the book, I can teleport you!
15:10From here to the college of magic!
15:12But Kronos will come looking for me!
15:13I will finish the conjurer myself!
15:14I will finish the conjurer myself!
15:15Run, Kushin! Run!
15:16Run, Kushin! Run!
15:21Theron! Help the ship!
15:23Theron! Help the ship!
15:27Theron! How are we going to stop that creature?
15:30If you can get me within range of the book, I can teleport from here to the college of magic!
15:38But Kronos will come looking for it!
15:40He'll find the college and destroy it!
15:43I see no other choice at this point, Mandrake!
15:50Come on, Enigma! Tell me what to do!
15:53That's it!
15:58Kashin! Give me the book!
16:00Theron is going to transport it away from here!
16:02But Mandrake! Enigma keeps telling me about Stonehenge!
16:05He needs to be here for some reason!
16:08If we don't get that book out of here, Kronos will use it to destroy the world!
16:12We've got to break the spell!
16:14We've got to change Enigma back to his true form!
16:17But not even Enigma knows how to do that!
16:20I think he's shown me a way!
16:22Theron, can you use your powers to rebuild Stonehenge to its original form?
16:26With Mandrake's help, it is possible!
16:29Kishin may be right! I say we give it a try!

17:27Fear not, Mandrake. Enigma is guiding Kexin's actions.
17:36I have toyed with you long enough. Give me the book!
17:42No, it's less you give me that crystal!
17:44You dare buy her with Kronos?
17:48If I don't get the crystal, you don't get the book!
17:51As you wish! Give me the book!
17:54Uh-uh! First the crystal, then the book!
17:58With the book's power, I will soon regain the crystal anyway.
18:11And here's your book!
18:17Enigma!
18:19Vile spirit, be you gone forever!
18:22Enigma!
18:28Enigma, you're free!
18:30Little one, you have done well, and I am grateful to you.
18:37We are all grateful to you, Enigma, for your teachings.
18:40I shared my wisdom while I waited.
18:44Waited?
18:44I knew it would take many centuries for the necessary elements to come into their rightful place,
18:52giving me the power to break Kronos' spell and return to the land of magic.
18:59And return, I must, to undo the damage Kronos caused.
19:04I won't ever see you again, but I'll...
19:08But my homeland needs me.
19:12Let all be as it was before,
19:15and let me be returned to the land of magic.
19:20So why is everybody standing around like statues?
19:36Sure am going to miss Enigma.
19:44Don't feel too bad, Kishin.
19:47In a sense, all books are like him.
19:49Every book is a piece of the person who wrote it.
19:53Every book is a person.
19:54And the characters.
19:57Huck Finn, Hercules, Oliver Twist.
20:00The most wonderful people you could ever meet.
20:04Kishin, where are you going?
20:06To my room!
20:07To meet some new friends.
20:24To meet some new friends.
