Original subtitles

After years of peaceful existence on the distant planet Veloria, Questar and his

people were forced into battle.

The power of their step crystal ripped a hole in the fabric of time, sending

them backward to prehistoric Earth.

Unaware that at the same moment, the evil Emperor Krulos was plotting to

the step crystal with his own grotesque Rulan forces.

And so, the battle continues in a new place in time with Dino Riders.

Enjoy the Tidal Riders.

Nothing must stand in the way of our capturing the step.

Yahoo!

Huh? It's a Rulon attack.

Come on, Terry.

We've got to warn Questar.

Yes, good work, Vector.

This wall should slow Krulos down a bit.

Quest star!

Quest star!

Krulos! Krulos and the Rulons! Whoa, slow down, lad. What is it? What's

happening? The Rulons! They're attacking.

They'll be here any minute.

Dino Riders, Rulon alert.

Man your battle stations.

It's about time we thought some action. I was getting bored just sitting around.

Yellow Star, war isn't a game.

Ah, Serena, you're no fun.

All right, dino riders, remember your training. Our dinosaurs must never be

hurt. But I can't say the same for Cruz.

Destroy! Destroy everything but the Springside Energy Projector. I must

have the step.

You've got... You've got nowhere to run, big -eyed dino -rider!

See how smug you are without a brain box or that monoclonal.

Tyrannosaurus rex, prepare to die, dino rider.

Are you rough, do you?

Hold on.

Running only for the inevitable, dino rider.

Nothing can stop me.

Gunner, I'm afraid your Taurosaurus has taken quite a beating.

I'm not so sure he's going to make it. Of course he's going to make it. He's

to. We've been through too much together.

Gunner, he'll make it.

I promise.

Don't worry, my friend.

I'm here to help you.

Let my energy flow into you.

Allow my energy to heal your wound.

it. He's gonna make it.

I told you you'd be all right.

What about you?

Will you be all right?

Of course.

Healing just takes a bit out of me.

I'm fine.

Serena, come quickly.

A monoclonus was hurt during the battle.

I think it may be dying.

I think I'm to blame.

I shot its brain box off. It seemed to be all right, but then... Turret, it's

not your fault.

Krulos is making his brain boxes more and more powerful.

Its life force is almost gone.

I'll have to hurry if I'm going to be of any help.

No, Serena.

You can't heal another one this quickly. It might kill you.

I can't stand by and watch a helpless animal die. I must do this.

As you wish.

It's working. You've done it, Serena.

Huh?

Serena. Serena!

Serena, speak to me.

Questar, will she be all right?

We have only one chance to save her.

And we'll have to act quickly.

The ancient Valorian rite of restoration.

Youngstar, you and Turret get the step crystal.

You got it.

Wait. Be very careful of it. If the crystal should break, Serena's life will

lost. We understand.

Trust us.

This is dangerous.

If Krulo should attack during the rite of restoration, there's no way we can

defend ourselves.

But we have no choice.

Without the rite, Serena will die.

Questar has beaten me again.

Why? Why?

Well, oh great and glorious leader.

Never mind, Rasp.

I know why they've beaten me in the past. And I know their one weakness.

A weakness which will allow me to destroy them before the day is out.

Hammerhead, assemble a hunting party.

Immediately.

Once my new battle plan is launched, the Dino Riders will cease to exist, and I

will get the Step Crystal.

We've got to hurry.

Serena is almost gone.

If each of us gives her just a little of our life force...

Concentrate, everyone. She needs more life force.

We're losing her.

We need more life energy.

Quistar?

What... what happened?

Nothing a little rest can't cure.

Welcome back, Serena.

Oh, thank you.

You've saved my life.

You too, my friend.

You too.

I have a feeling that Krulos is planning another attack, and soon.

Icon, you're our military strategist. What do you think?

I calculate there is a 67 % chance that we could destroy the Rulons if we

launched a surprise attack before nightfall. And how many casualties would

suffer in such a surprise attack?

No more than 13 .7%. No, that's totally unacceptable.

There must be another way.

Obviously, the final decision is yours, Questar. I don't envy your position, but

no matter which course you take, there may be casualties.

What's this?

Lad's collection.

That gives me an idea.

Dino Riders, I've made a decision.

I think I've found a way to protect the step. At least from Krulos' next attack.

It's okay for a while, but I want some action.

Hey, what's that down there?

Come on.

Hurry up.

Wow, look.

Oh, this is wonderful.

Come on, let's get a closer look.

They've almost hatched.

What is it? A baby triceratops.

Aren't they darling?

Yeah, I gotta admit it. You are pretty darn cute.

I wonder where your mother is.

That answer your question? We're in big trouble.

We mean no harm. We are friends.

never harm a dinosaur.

So all my dinosaur stampede has to do is march through their camp and flatten

everything that stands in their way.

And all I have to do is follow behind and take the space -time energy

It will allow me to return to my empire.

Everything is exactly as you ordered, oh great Lord Krulos.

Attack! Let nothing stand in your way.

Nothing!

At the hour, the Dino Rider camp will be as flat as the jungle.

I have received word from my vipers. The Dino Rider camp is straight ahead.

We should be there within the hour.

Excellent.

And they are unaware of our attack.

You have done well, Rasp.

Once the steppe has returned me to my empire, there may be a promotion for

Snake skin!

The demonstration should be ready in just a minute, Questar.

Good work, Turret.

You wanted to see us, Questar? Yes.

Turret has managed to boost the power of the step crystal.

It should allow us to actually see what's happening back on Veloria.

Veloria? Our old home?

Yes, Serena. Hopefully this will let us see why we must continue to fight Krulos

here on prehistoric Earth.

It's ready to go, Questar.

Let's take a look.

Wait until Lord Krulos returns.

I am in charge of the Rulon army.

No, Lord Krulos has been missing for weeks. I should be in charge of the

Empire. We Ant -Men refuse to follow Vipers or Hammerheads.

We will form our own empire.

That's all I dare try to get for now.

What's happening?

It feels like an earthquake.

That ain't no earthquake. It's a dark flame rule on attack.

And this one looks bad.

Turret, you know what to do.

Consider it done, Questar.

Dino Riders, man your posts.

Prepare to defend yourselves.

What is Krulos up to this time?

Gunner, spring the defenses!

You've not been stopping them.

We've got no choice.

Dino -lifes, pull back.

Go back.

Run, Crestar. Run while you can.

Soon I shall have the power to destroy you once and for all.

Otherhead, protect the Dino Rider ship.

The steppe must not be destroyed.

They must have the step.

Krulos is in the ship.

But I'll be a monkey's uncle if he's coming out again.

Hold it, old friend. There's no hurry. We can deal with Krulos later.

But the step crystal. If that slimy toad gets his green paws on the crystal.

We have a little surprise for our Rulan neighbors.

and continue my conquest of the universe!

Lord Krulos, I smell a trap.

Something doesn't feel right.

This is too easy.

I don't think we'll ever get it cleaned up. Ah, what difference does it make?

That slimeball, Kurlos, has the step crystal.

Without it, why go on?

I'm afraid I don't see anything so dang blame funny.

Well, just like I told you, the step crystal is gone.

Krulos got it. Gunner, Krulos only thinks he got it.

Huh? Look, someone better start doing some explaining around here.

Okay, okay.

Turrets.

Krulos did get his hands on a crystal, but not the crystal from the step.

I get it. You switched crystals.

Exactly.

What Krulos got was a plain quartz crystal from Ladd's rock collection.

The real step crystal was hidden in plain sight.

But Krulos was too greedy to even notice it.

I gotta admit, that was pretty clever.

Well, I wish I could see the look on Krulos' face when he finds out he's been

snookered.

Lord Krulos.

What is this?

Why is nothing happening?

I'm afraid we were tricked, great Krulos. I'm afraid... Nonsense!

I took this crystal with my own hands. It must be the right one.

It just needs more power.

Krulos, no!

I'll destroy you. You and everyone around you!

Okay, fella. Tip it up. Nice and easy now. There you go.

The shallow tar pools spread around the camp should make sure Krulos never tries

his dinosaur stampede again.

You know something, Serena? You're right.

Sometimes...
