01:20You're gonna need it!
01:21Meet me at the finish line!

01:33Saved by the bell, you guys!
01:35You'll eat my vapor trail up there!
01:37Says who, Ace?
01:40Go, Ace!
01:43Simulated battle, commence!
01:54When this drill's over, I'll give you both flying lessons!
01:57You were saying, hot dog?
01:58I think turkey is more like it!
02:00Why do I get the feeling that this is no longer a friendly competition?
02:10What are they doing up there?
02:11They are flying like fools!
02:12This simulation is over!
02:13Return to base immediately!
02:17What's up, Dad?
02:18Yeah, why'd you call us back?
02:19What's wrong, Father?
02:20I'm very disappointed in you, Jedha!
02:21Disappointed in all of you!
02:22We were just having a little fun!
02:23Proving who's best!
02:24You have only proven how foolish and irresponsible you are!
02:27What are you talking about?
02:28You're hot doggy not only, but you have to be the best!
02:29You're hot doggy not only, you have to be the best!
02:30You're hot doggy not only, you have to be the best, you have to be the best!
02:31What are they doing up there?
02:32What are they doing up there?
02:33They are flying like fools!
02:34This simulation is over!
02:35Return to base immediately!
02:36What's up, Dad?
02:37Yeah, why'd you call us back?
02:38What's wrong, Father?
02:39I'm very disappointed in you, Jedha!
02:41Disappointed in all of you!
02:43We were just having a little fun!
02:45Proving who's best!
02:46You have only proven how foolish and irresponsible you are!
02:51What are you talking about?
02:53Your hot doggy not only endangered you individually, but you also jeopardized the entire flying unit!
02:59We're sorry, but we just wanted to see who was best!
03:04Being the best at the expense of your friends is not being the best at all, Jedha!
03:08But in battle...
03:10In battle, the defenders work as a team.
03:14Competition among friends has its place.
03:17Now, I remember an ancient ritual.
03:20The Rites of Zesnon.
03:22The Zesnon tribe in the Amazon used to teach their warriors not to compete with each other in combat, but to work safely as a team.
03:31May we compete in the Rites of Zesnon, Father?
03:33I'm ready!
03:34Count me in!
03:35The Rites of Zesnon sound like they were made to order for our young warriors here.
03:41Six Maine fighters have left Ice Station Earth and are heading in the direction of Central City.
03:48Maine must have found out about our global satellite scanning dishes.
03:52That's my guess.
03:53That's my guess.
03:54We have no time to lose.
03:55Let's move!
03:56Target approaching!
03:59Stay in formation until my command!
04:03Is the attack ready?
04:05Yes, Excellency.
04:07Find those satellite dishes.
04:09If the defenders' global scanning program becomes operational, Ice Station Earth will be constantly watched.
04:16We must prevent that.
04:18Permanently.
04:19I don't care what you do to Central City or its Earthlings.
04:24Destroy those dishes!
04:27Squadron B leader!
04:30Maintain formation and begin radar scan!
04:33We must find those dishes!
04:36Fast!
04:43Primitive mode of transportation.
04:45But we're here before Ming's fighters.
04:47Flash and the others should be here soon.
04:50It must be then.
04:52No.
04:53It sounds like Ming's fighters.
04:55Quickly, Lothar.
04:56We will engage the enemy.
04:58Underground?
04:59Against fighters?
05:00There is more than one way to deal with an ice robot.
05:13Target ahead!
05:14Arm all lasers!
05:16You did it, Mandry!
05:25All it takes is a little style and perhaps a dirt-free set of clothes.
05:31It is done, Excellency.
05:33Let me see the destruction.
05:37Activate rear camera.
05:39You have fallen for another trick.
05:42But...
05:43Silence!
05:44Return and destroy them!
05:45Even the best illusions hold an audience's attention for only a short while.
05:52We must do something.
05:53And quickly.
05:54It's Flash!
05:55Ice robot ship, straight ahead.
05:56Is everybody ready?
05:57Ready!
05:58Let's see what you guys do with some real action.
06:11What the?
06:12Jetta.
06:13Come on!
06:14Rip!
06:15LJ!
06:16Let's go.
06:17You don't think you're gonna get away that easily.
06:18You've got one on your tail.
06:19I'm moving in.
06:20Thanks, but...
06:21No thanks.
06:22I'd rather play Follow the Leader.
06:23Now we'll see.
06:24Let's go.
06:25Let's go.
06:26Let's go.
06:27You don't think you're gonna get away that easily.
06:29You've got one on your tail.
06:30I'm moving in.
06:31Thanks, but...
06:32No thanks.
06:33I'd rather play Follow the Leader.
06:34Now we'll see who's the best.
06:35I hope you bet your money on me, Jetta.
06:36I don't make losing bets.
06:37You guys are gonna fly the speed limit or answer to me.
06:40Follow my lead.
06:41Do I make myself clear?
06:45Yes, sir.
06:46Let's go.
06:47I'm moving in.
06:49Thanks, but...
06:50No thanks.
06:51I'd rather play Follow the Leader.
06:52Now we'll see who's the best.
06:53I hope you bet your money on me, Jetta.
06:54I don't make losing bets.
06:56You guys are gonna fly the speed limit or answer to me.
06:59Follow my lead.
07:00Do I make myself clear?
07:02Yes, sir.
07:03Return to base! At once!
07:13Nice work, Flash.
07:15Let's head for home. I think we have some more talking to do.
07:21Look, we're sorry for what happened up there.
07:23There is no room for hot-dogging in a fighter plane.
07:26Remember, Energy. There's a time and a place...
07:29Zeznon!
07:31Come again?
07:33You know, the rites of Zeznon. Father told us about it.
07:36The tribe in the Amazon that has a contest for its warriors to see who is the best.
07:41What do you say, Dad?
07:42If that's what it takes to bring the three of you to your senses.
07:45Dynak, set a course for the terry to the Amazon.
07:48All right! Can I join too?
07:50There will be creepy, crawly snakes.
07:52I'm not afraid of anything.
07:56Good. Then you can protect us from the snakes.
08:01Sire, data intercepted from Dynak X indicates defenders of the Earth are heading for South America to take part in the rites of Zeznon.
08:14The rites of Zeznon will be more of a test than they expected.
08:20Prepare my throne room for departure immediately.
08:24These are the paths of the ritual.
08:31They start and end together.
08:35But each of you will have a different path.
08:38Swamp, jungle, or the cliffs.
08:42Select a paper from the tray in front of you.
08:45Swamp, cliffs, jungle.
08:50They'll be there soon.
08:52Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon!
09:00I am Zeznon!
09:07I am Zeznon.
09:09You will obey the command of Zeznon.
09:13Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon!
09:18Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Zeznon! Z
09:48I don't feel good about this contest.
10:08It is a harmless test, Flash.
10:10If anything, it will teach our young friends
10:12that working together is far better than working alone.
10:16How can you be sure?
10:17Because that is the way the Phantom planned it.
10:20Isn't that so, Phantom?
10:21You had this planned all along?
10:23Their competition could have become a difficult problem.
10:26This time, I'm going to put it right into orbit.
10:36Are you scared, Zuff?
10:38Stay here. I'll get it.
10:47I found it.
10:54Hey, come on, Zuff. Let's go back.
11:00Ow! My leg!
11:02Zuff!
11:02Talk about luck.
11:12Jedha gets the jungle. She grew up in it.
11:15LJ with his martial arts is a natural for climbing cliffs.
11:19Think what I'd choose.
11:20First swamp water, and now...
11:28Booby traps!
11:30That was just luck, young Gordon.
11:33But good luck lasts only a short time.
11:37This is as easy as a walk in the park on Sunday.
11:41I bet I'm miles ahead of Rick and Jenna.
11:43Maybe we can't carry any weapons or communication devices.
11:47But the Phantom didn't say anything about souvenirs.
11:50These are beautiful!
11:52Oh, no!
11:53Easy as a walk in the park on Sunday?
12:08Easy as a walk in the park on Sunday?
12:10I haven't the time to go around, so I must go over it.
12:31Hope this vine holds.
12:40Concentrate! Concentrate!
12:46Thank you! Thank you very much!
12:58Kishin was stung by a rare poisonous plant. The antidote can be made from several herbs.
13:17Will it save Kishin?
13:19Yes, if I am fortunate enough to find the right herbs.
13:32Ming!
13:34Very good, Slashgon. I would not do anything too hasty until you have heard what I have to say.
13:43You have nothing I want to hear, Ming.
13:55Fool!
13:56The beams!
14:02What in the world?
14:06And now for a little demonstration.
14:13Interesting. Wouldn't you say, defenders?
14:17Ming! You! Silence!
14:20One false move and you become just a bad memory.
14:34There's Rick and Jetta. I'm gonna have to run double time.
14:38What was that?
14:39Rick!
14:40Jenna!
14:41They're in trouble!
14:42Never thought I'd be so happy to see dry land.
14:45No-оль-even!
14:46Oh, a hell-let's!
14:47Hey-oh, here!
14:48Where are you!
14:49Up!
14:50There!
14:51Super!
14:52It's a good idea.
14:53James!
14:57It's what you want to do!
14:58Co-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

19:50We did it.
19:52We sure did.
19:55Great work, guys.
19:59Father, we now understand what it was you were trying to teach us.
20:05It is like the fingers of your hand.
20:07Each has its own purpose in the balance of things.
20:11But when pulled together, there is great strength.
20:29We were trying to help you with your hand.
20:33Time is working, but I'll close.
20:35We've done a lot of work already, so obviously, we needumenical aspects.
20:42Before we come to talk, people can Municipality Credits.
20:47We can throw theseHAHA foes.
20:49Goodness harm cares.
20:51You'll make the same face for me.
20:52But I don't see any fear of my texto.
