00:00These are the tales of the Skeleton Warriors.
00:30Let's go, here's the power, turn as a fighter in the sky.
00:37The star moves in the shadows.
00:40Targeting shots, the barrel drops.
00:43Only the engine on flight!
00:49Skeleton Warriors!
00:55Skeleton Warriors!
01:00Skeleton Warriors!
01:11In war, the cruelest battlefield of all can be the theater of the mind.
01:17There, the epic struggle rages every waking moment.
01:21And even sleep brings no peace.
01:30Stay!
01:32är!!!
01:48Ha-ah!
01:51You belong to me now!
02:21Not as long as I have an arm to strike with, and two legs to stand on.
02:28Ah, but you don't, dear boy. Bon voyage!
02:40It's all right, Joshua. You were having a nightmare.
02:45Second night in a row.
02:47Oh, Baron Dark, controlling me.
02:51Yeah! I had him, Cyborn!
02:55But he slipped through my fingers.
02:56What's important, Baron, is that the device works.
03:00Some minor adjustments should be all that's necessary.
03:03Well then, do them!
03:06Patience, dear, Baron. You forget we're dealing with an outmoded technology developed by a long, dead inventor.
03:13Fortunately, this Dr. Janoff was painstaking in keeping journals of her work.
03:17My dreamy infiltration device allows the operator to enter the servospace of its subject by means of hollow projection,
03:28thereby helping to remedy sleep disorders and induce gentle, soothing dreams.
03:35Ah, how sickeningly sweet, gentle, soothing dreams.
03:41Ah, I'm afraid the good doctor lacked imagination.
03:45None is your equal in that department, Baron Dark.
03:49With this little darling, I shall gain complete control over Grimskull's brain.
03:55And then the light star crystal shall be mine.
04:06There it is.
04:07They've been working on this construction site non-stop for a fortnight.
04:19Must be a big deal.
04:21Baron Dark's lackeys aren't exactly known for working overtime.
04:23Our sources in the Resistance tell us it's to be a human labor camp.
04:28Slavery is Baron Dark's reward for those two pure of heart to be changed into skeleton warriors.
04:34Justin!
04:37I'm...
04:37I'm sorry, Joshua.
04:39I was thoughtless of him.
04:41He hasn't gotten much sleep lately.
04:43He keeps having terrible nightmares.
04:45Hey!
04:46No sleeping at your post, soldier.
04:49Who's sleeping?
04:50Ha ha ha ha!
04:54Uh, perhaps it's best if you stayed behind, Grimskull.
04:58This raid demands total concentration, one misstep, and...
05:02I'm fine, Uncle.
05:04And every bit is able to pull my weight, as any one of you.
05:08You sly old fox.
05:11You angered him on purpose.
05:13Ha ha ha.
05:14As your father always said, nothing beats a little fire in the belly to ready a soldier for battle.
05:19We'll wait until the moon is high, and then we strike.
05:23What a storehouse of treasures we've stumbled upon, Cyborn.
05:36Who knew that such a garden of delights even existed?
05:40No one.
05:41Not until I uncovered Dr. Chanoff's records while pilfering through the palace library.
05:46Yes, but it was Bad Dog's keen tracking sense that led us here.
05:59Oh, look.
06:00He wants to play.
06:03Cyborn!
06:04I said he wants to play!
06:05I've located the problem plaguing the Dream Infiltration Device.
06:20Should be up and working shortly.
06:22Excellent, Dr. Cyborn.
06:24My bones are simply aching to crawl inside Grimskull's brain and destroy it.
06:31Oh, just me luck pulling sentry duty on a moist night such as this.
06:40Ha!
06:41Me elbow gets all stiff from the damp it does.
06:44Oh, a nice bonfire would warm me bones nicely.
06:48Now, where'd I put them phosphorus sticks?
06:51Need a light?
06:52Oh, don't mind if I do.
06:56Don't mention it.
06:57Let's get the rest of these planted while Lightstar and Talbot count.
07:05We'll sizzle them good this time.
07:08Don't you boneheads know a surprise attack only works once!
07:16Love the outfitter, Dracula.
07:18But you know what you'd look better in?
07:21A big vat of quickscent mortanium.
07:23Now, that's the ugliest statue I've ever seen.
07:40I always did have a crush on Prince Justin.
07:46Oh, guess I crushed him good this time.
07:51Hey, shriek!
07:52Where's Garty?
08:16He grabbed your sky cycle.
08:18Said to meet him on the ridge.
08:19Look at those cowards run.
08:25They ought to be called the Legion of Flight.
08:28Heh, heh, heh, heh.
08:29Skate him off good, Wade's head.
08:32Baron's gonna be right proud of us, he is.
08:36What's that?
08:37We did it, Guardian.
08:44Their human slave camp has been destroyed.
08:47But how long before others go up in their place?
08:52Sound the alarms.
08:53Close off all escape routes.
08:55They won't get away.
08:57Every skeleton in the city will be on our tail in a matter of minutes.
09:02If we split up, we'll make less of a target.
09:04Talon and I will go back the way we came.
09:06And Grimskull and I will cut through luminesity.
09:10Last one back at base camp's a rotten skeleton warrior.
09:13Uncle, don't even joke about that.
09:18Stay low to the ground.
09:20And the skeleton's radar won't be able to pick us up.
09:22I'm all for that.
09:25What is it, Joshua?
09:27My head.
09:29Rocky.
09:30You've got to get control of your cycle.
09:32I'm trying to feel things.
09:42Hang on, boy.
09:50What is it, boy?
09:58They're in dark.
10:01Yes, Grimskull.
10:04I'm inside you now.
10:06And the nightmare's just beginning.
10:09He needs help. Someone, give me a hand.
10:30Lightstar, how did you...
10:32We picked up your Sky Cycle's destruct signal.
10:34Marren Dark...
10:36Joshua?
10:37What's happened to him?
10:39I don't know. He needs medical attention, but I fear moving him.
10:42Perhaps I can be of some assistance.
10:44I'm Lucius, Resistance Leader, Sector 3.
10:47Come, there is a safe house nearby.
10:49Wait, how do we know you're who you say you are?
10:52Forgive me, my liege.
10:54To root out the darkness, set evil to right.
10:57This is our pledge.
10:59The Legion of Light.
11:01Lead the way, good Lucius.
11:07Prince Joshua can stay here as long as he needs to.
11:15The King was always very kind to my family.
11:18Selene lost her husband and son to the skeleton warriors.
11:22He's not struggling anymore. That's a good sign, isn't it?
11:25I don't know, Talon.
11:28My husband is... was a doctor. This was his medical bag.
11:38Maybe this alpha scan can provide some answers.
11:44Physically, I don't see anything wrong with him.
11:46What is it, Uncle?
11:56His eyes don't respond.
12:01It's as I feared. He slipped into a coma.
12:05I've been expecting you, Grimskull. Do come in.
12:22What is this place?
12:24Don't you know?
12:31It's your mind.
12:34Not a pretty sight, is it?
12:41Actually, it's not your mind anymore.
12:46I'm pulling the strings now. You'll do as I command. Agreed?
12:50Excellent. Now, be a good boy, and tell me the location of...
12:57What's that?
12:59What is the meaning of this?
13:02Weals of holocaust.
13:05Revenue sleep disorder.
13:08Induce gentle soothing.
13:11Cyborg!
13:13That infernal woman is ruining everything!
13:16Hmm. Most strange.
13:19Janoff's encoded journal must have somehow melded with the holoprotection.
13:26Spare me the scientific mumbo-jumbo.
13:29Just give me the bare bones of it!
13:31Plain and simple, dear Baron.
13:34She's a virus. A ghost in the machine.
13:37Then do what you would do to any virus, good doctor.
13:41Kill her.
13:46What is it, Lucius?
13:50Dark's men are doing a house-to-house search.
13:53We need to move Prince Joshua to more secure surroundings.
13:56Not in his condition. It's too risky.
13:58My brother will not be moved.
14:00So be it. My men and I will hold off the bony beasts as long as we can.
14:07What's that gadget do?
14:09It's called a cranioscan.
14:11It picks up irregularities in the unconscious and can...
14:14I don't believe it.
14:17What was that, uncle?
14:19My... my old mentor and teacher, Dr. Augusta Janov.
14:24I just saw her in Grimskull's cranioscan.
14:28So what do you say?
14:30Many years ago, in your father's court, I studied under Dr. Janov.
14:34She was as brilliant as I was impertinent. We often argued.
14:39You say your inventions are for the good of mankind.
14:42But what if they fell into the wrong hands?
14:44Couldn't they be used for evil?
14:46Knowledge, progress, those are our concerns.
14:49There's no good or evil in science.
14:52Yes, but there is evil in the world.
14:54It's an argument we never resolved.
14:58Later in her life, Dr. Janov became very secretive and moved her laboratory to a remote location even I wasn't privy to.
15:05What does all this have to do with Joshua?
15:08It was rumored that late in life, Dr. Janov perfected a dream infiltration device.
15:12She meant it to be a boon to mankind, a cure for sleep disorders and nightmares.
15:19But in the wrong hands.
15:21Baron Dark.
15:23That explains the nightmares Joshua's been having.
15:26We have to stop Baron Dark before he destroys Grimskull's mind.
15:30But what of his body? It's too dangerous to move him.
15:34Yet, we can't leave him here unguarded.
15:37Not with Baron Dark's warriors going house to house on a search and destroy mission.
15:40I'll stay with him.
15:42And I pity the skeleton who tries to get in the door.
15:53Now how exactly do we locate Dr. Janov's hideaway, Uncle?
15:56I've got the Sky Cycle's flat screen hooked into Grimskull's cranioscan readout.
16:01The closer we get to the source, the stronger the signal should become.
16:04Hang in there Joshua. I'm right here.
16:09Crawl into my web, said the Baron to the fly.
16:11You'll get a charge out of this.
16:14Playtime is over.
16:15Now tell me the whereabouts of the other half of the Light Star Crystal!
16:16Never.
16:17Never is a very long time.
16:18And I'm not sure you'll live that long.
16:19And I'm not sure you'll live that long.
16:20Well, said the Baron to the fly.
16:24You'll get a charge out of this.
16:28Playtime is over.
16:30Now tell me the whereabouts of the other half of the Lightstar Crystal.
16:35Never.
16:36Never is a very long time.
16:39And I'm not sure you'll live that long.
16:50Look everywhere. Tear the place apart.
16:54The skeleton guards are next door.
17:05You're looking for the royals?
17:07I saw them go this way.
17:09Show us!
17:18They went in there.
17:20Baron Dark will reward you for this.
17:25I just got my reward.
17:28Signal's strong. It's coming from inside this mountain.
17:32We only need to find an entranceway.
17:39We just found one.
17:41May I have the pleasure?
17:53Be my guest.
17:54And now, Grimskull, it's time!
18:11All right, Dark. It's over.
18:19Step away from the dream machine.
18:22Oh, I don't think so.
18:24You see, I've got young Grimskull in a very, shall we say, uncomfortable position right now.
18:30See for yourself.
18:31See for yourself.
18:33Ever hear the old saying that if you die in your dream, you die for real?
18:38Wouldn't care to test it out on baby brother, thou, would you?
18:41Justin, go away.
18:44It's too dangerous.
18:46Dark rules this place.
18:49No!
18:50This is your mind.
18:51This is your dream.
18:53You can control it.
18:55Kent.
18:56My strength is...
18:58What?
19:00Then draw strength from your family.
19:02Guardian and I stand beside you.
19:04Oh, how very touching.
19:06Sheer nonsense, of course, but touching nevertheless.
19:13Ah, ah, ah.
19:15Destroy the equipment and you'll destroy Grimskull.
19:18And that's my prerogative.
19:21Tell me where the Light Star Crystal is hidden.
19:24Or in you go.
19:26Draw strength from your family.
19:28I'm right here.
19:29Hang on.
19:31No.
19:32I won't let you defeat me.
19:36I, I, I...
19:38What is this?
19:40You, you must obey me.
19:42Stop this impertinence.
19:45Like the man said.
19:47Boom, boy, I...
19:49He defeated me.
19:58We all did, Baron.
19:59Eh?
20:01Sweet dreams.
20:02Ah!
20:03Tell him.
20:12Better get out of here.
20:1660 seconds till detonation.
20:18What about you?
20:18I'll be alone.
20:20Go!
20:20I, I just wanted to say goodbye, old friend.
20:37Colleague.
20:39Teacher.
20:39Conjection.
20:40Now you do a remedy.
20:41Come on, I'm here.
20:47Come on!
20:53No!
20:54No!
21:00Don't look so surprised.
21:02Old fools like me never die.
21:04They just get crankier.
21:05Let's go home.
21:12In Baron Dark's defeat,
21:15I learned where our real power lies.
21:18It's not in our weapons,
21:20not even in the Light Star Crystal,
21:23but in our strength as a family.
21:35You've won this battle,
21:38Legion of Light.
21:39But I shall live to fight another day.
21:43I always do.
21:46Hah!
21:58Healthy laughter.
21:59Loyalty.
22:00Family.
22:01Unity.
22:02Meer words when scribbled on a page,
22:05but powerful weapons when etched upon a warrior's heart.
22:09Strong enough to defeat the forces of evil?
22:12Who can say?
22:13Perhaps I should sleep on it.
22:43I should sleep on it.
