No more Beticus!

No more die in your name!

- I'm getting married. - What?

Yeah, well, when do we meet the lucky lady?

We kind of like to know who we're traveling with.

We're not going to me traveling with you.

We're going to live here.

You will exchange vows and be one in our eyes.

And you will be my wife.

For all time.

- No! - Praise Beticus.

You must run from here!

They're going to sacrifice you into the fires.

Gwenith...

Lost in the Devil's Triangle,

trapped in a dimension with beings from the future

and from other worlds,

a party of adventurers journeys through zones of time,

back to their own time.

Varian, a man from the 23rd century

possessing awesome powers.

From 1977,

Fred, a young doctor just out of medical school.

Scott Jordan,

the 13-years old son of a famous scientist.

Liana,

daughter of an Atlantean father

and an extraterrestrial mother.

And Jonathan Willaway,

rebel scientist from the 1960s.

Together they face the frightening unknown on

the Fantastic Journey.

I sure hope this place looks better by daylight.

Amen, to that.

Oh, you see these twisted rocks,

they're called volcanic bombs.

Which gives you a hint how they got here.

There's no mystery where they came from either.

Yonder volcano seems to be active.

You got that, did you?

All right, let's find a campsite, now.

Hopefully one that's out from underneath that volcano.

Over there. Looks like a cave.

Oh...

Be it ever so humble.

Let's start a fire.

Varian? Are you all right?

I'm really tired all of a sudden.

That's really strange.

Here, let me help you with your bedroll.

Zaros, I have found the one.

- Did you prepare him? - As you instructed.

His dreams will be of Gwenith tonight.

You've done well.

Argh!

I'm dreamt of you last night.

I'm Gwenith.

I have waited for you.

I was told you would come.

How did you know that?

Does it matter?

I'm here and we are together,

if you wish it to be.

I feel like our auras are one.

I wouldn't have believed that possible,

not in 1,000 lifetimes.

Will you come with me?

Where?

You will know very soon.

Some things are meant to be.

I hardly know anything about you.

Excepting that I want to be with you.

What more is necessary to know?

You will be with me,

forever.

Forever.

Come with me.

Come.

That is where I live.

It's a quake!

Let's get out of here!

Come on.

The whole mountain will come down.

We're not going to get out that way.

Come on, take cover.

Let's get our gear and get out of here.

Yeah, but, where's Varian?

It's all right, Scottie, he must be outside.

Wherever he is, Scott, he's...

He's well out of this.

My people are Cygians from a

planet of that constellation.

They've been here since before I can remember.

I never knew my mother.

I was told she died giving birth to me.

What about your father?

He was killed before I was born.

Maera says he died bravely to save my people.

How?

It's part of the Sacred Mystery.

Only the Keepers of the Temple know that.

Maera and Zaros, the leaders of my people.

What bothers you?

My friends. I must go and look for them.

- Why? - Why?

Wouldn't you be worried if someone suddenly disappeared?

Yes.

Well, they must be worried too.

Besides,

I want to find them and bring them here,

and tell the about you and me.

Gwenith has brought the one we need.

Soon Beticus will be appeased.

Between Gwenith and this man, was there much joy?

I saw only what answered our needs.

Preach such things to our citizens.

You celebrate because when this is

over Gwenith will be yours.

Yes! But I would sacrifice even that

for the good of us all,

just as Gwenith will sacrifice.

I mourn for the sadness she will feel with his loss.

You say that even here?

This could get old very fast.

Somebody please spot an exit sign.

We could go on forever.

This mountain is just honeycombed with tunnels.

Now what? Which way do we go?

Anybody got a favorite tunnel?

Sil-L.

I didn't hear anything.

This way.

All right!

Hey, we're out! Got it made!

You come to us as two, and ask to be joined as one?

We are promised to each other.

Will you accept our customs

and become one of us?

I will accept the, yes, to be with her.

As high priestess of Beticus,

I give sanction and I invoke the gods to your favor.

I give sanction, as Guardian of the Ceremonial Fire.

Tonight we will have the Feast of Earthly Joining's.

You will exchange vows and be one in our eyes.

And you'll be my wife.

There is a second ceremony, one of eternal unification,

where your oneness is sanctified by Beticus

and your spirits are joined.

For all time.

Be happy. We will prepare.

Beticus keep you in his love.

We will send emissaries for your companions

as you requested. Go now.

Can't you control yourself?

He must have seen your feelings.

Tonight he will possess what I most want.

Only the knowledge of his fate will sustain me.

And the knowledge that Gwenith will be mine

after tomorrow.

Then knowing what is before him,

can't you let the have this time of joy?

Without doubt, without compromise,

as it should be!

Varian!

Hey, you thought you'd get rid of us, huh?

- How'd you end up here? - Why did you just leave like that?

We're had mean really worried about you.

I know I know. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm glad you're all here.

So much has happened, I... I can't begin to explain.

I... I don't even know where to start.

- Try the beginning. - I'm not too sure about...

That I even know the beginning.

But I know the ending.

Well?

- I'm getting married! - What?

- Married? - Married?

I...

- Well, it's... It's... - If you're surprised,

- think how I feel. - Marriage, just like that?

In that case, I... I suppose congratulations

are in order.

Yes. I think they are.

Yeah, well, when do we meet the lucky lady?

We'd kind of like to know who we're traveling with.

Yes, where is she, Varian?

We're not going to be traveling with you,

we're going to live here.

After all, this is her home.

Well, that's great, Varian,

- really. - Scott, come here.

Do you remember that letter your father sent you?

- Yes. - He said that...

when we reached Evoland, we'd have to part

company forever

and go back to our own times.

Yeah, but Evoland is a long way away.

It might be in the next zone.

What I'm saying is this...

that I've found happiness here. I Found more happiness here than I...

I could ever know in my own time.

And no matter how I feel about you and Fred

and Jonathan, and Liana,

I've found a life here.

And I want us to stay here, and live it.

So, be happy for me, will you?

Okay.

Come on.

Well, where's the bride-to-be?

I know she's got to be something else.

She must indeed be quite some woman.

Yes, she is.

You'll meet her in a little while.

This friend of hers is getting married,

and Gwenith wanted to attend the ceremony

and I think she's just a little curious

to see what's gonna happen to us.

It's a ceremony which is known only to the priests.

Oh, great God,

master of trees and mountains,

all powerful Beticus.

Bestow your blessing and unify this maid, Arla

and her chosen, Heras,

that their love, each for the other.

will endure for as long as time is

and beyond.

And by so doing

you provide the means for the survival of our colony.

Look now and answer.

Are you, Heras,

ready and willing to have your love

sanctified your Goddess?

I'm, Priestess Maera.

Then approach the Sacred Pit.

Praise Beticus.

- Sig-non. - Praise Beticus.

Sig-non.

Praise Beticus.

Sig-non.

Praise Beticus.

Oh, great God, Keeper of the Sacred Flame!

Accept this sacrifice of the love of these

two pure young people.

And in so accepting it,

allow our colony to survive,

spared of your wrath.

As you give us life,

so do we give you life in return.

Beticus be appeased!

No!

No!

But why?

Why did Heras have to be killed?

You weren't supposed to see the ritual until it became

your turn to be united!

But I did see it!

It had to be done.

Had to be?

Gwenith,

long ago, before you were born,

our people traveled to this world.

The people who were here

were in the earliest stages of development.

The primitives. I have heard the legend.

Primitive they were.

We convinced the that they were.

And we enlightened them.

"Look at you," we said,

the earth trebles and the mountain spews forth fire,

"and you send the newly-joined males

into the flames?"

"But the gods will be angry if we don't"

they said,

And Beticus will destroy us."

And we laughed at their fears,

we told them the notion of blood sacrifice

to appease the gods was foolish,

and they believed us and they stopped.

And then Beticus lashed out in anger

and buried them in molten rock,

and they were no more.

And we learned from them.

Now we offer tribute,

and Beticus keeps us safe.

It is the duty of every priestess

to sacrifice her beloved.

Varian.

Just as Heras was offered to appease the trebling earth

and quiet the fires of the mountain.

Varian!

No.

I'll send him away, I'll go with him.

Gwenith,

I've too had to sacrifice the man I loved.

A high priestess?

I wasn't a high priestess then.

I was a young girl

who was very much in love.

But we had for eternity a joining.

One night of love.

And the next day, he went into the fires,

and thereby saved his people.

He was your father.

You are my mother?

It's true.

As your mother, I tell you,

the pain is brief.

The memory is eternal.

Do you want this night, Gwenith?

Yes.

As Arla did her duty

and as I did mine.

Will you make the sacrifice?

Will you keep your people safe in Beticu's mercy?

I will.

Then smile.

Be joyous.

Be loving.

Have this moment with Varian

to remember for all time.

The problem of not knowing what you're looking for

is that you might not know it when you find it.

Yeah, I just want to get a line on this place.

I mean, one minute Varian's traveling with us,

and the next he's settling down to home and hearth.

- Hmm. - Why?

- Something's out of whack. - Hey! Shh.

You're not supposed to be here.

The temple grounds are sacred.

Well, we were just looking for our friend.

He is preparing for the joining with Gwenith.

Oh. I guess you were as surprised as we were.

I mean, the two of the meeting and, uh,

taking the plunge, just like that.

Surprised? At what?

Well, it's all a little fast, don't you think?

Gwenith has waited her whole life for this time.

Their love is complete.

Hmm, but you'd think they did want to take

a little bit more time,

uh, get to know each other.

Uh, flowers, candy.

There is no need for courtship rituals among us.

When Cygians meet another whose aura is compatible,

the joining is made and they are as one forever.

You know, that makes sense.

Varian would know right upfront

if the vibes were right.

And he could handle that.

I suppose Varian has found his lady love.

No muss, no fuss, just like that.

It's hard to believe, but I suppose that's the way

they do things around here.

Yeah.

A great poet from my time once said...

What?

"Different strokes for different folks."

Gotcha.

Oh, let's go dance at the man's wedding.

- Beticus keep us in his love. - Praise Beticus.

I invoke the blessing of all powerful Beticus

- over this assembly. - Praise Beticus.

Who comes to this place with love?

Who comes to this place for the Earthly joining?

I do.

I come before Beticus to be joined.

She's beautiful.

Isn't she, though?

Got to credit by man Varian for taste.

Who joins with the Priestess Gwenith

in Beticus' love?

I do.

I come to join with the Priestess Gwenith.

Come forth.

By melding the flame you will be joined.

Oh, great and powerful Beticus,

sanctity this joining, in your love.

Praise Beticus.

You came before us as two separate people,

alone and incomplete.

Go now, together.

You are one

for all time.

Well, now he's an old married man.

I thought at least maybe he'd spend some time with us.

Not tonight, Scott.

We'll see him in the morning, Scottie.

Get a chance to say our congratulations then.

Yeah, and say our goodbyes.

Well, here's to them.

To Varian, as good a an as I know,

to his new wife,

may they always be as happy as they are tonight.

Here, here.

Do you remember the very first thing I said

when I saw you?

That you had seen me in a dream.

Yes. Just as clearly as I see you now.

Do I please you?

Oh, Gwenith!

Yes! You please me.

But this dream, Gwenith,

there's something more about this dream,

and I don't remember what it is.

Something about us?

I think so, yes.

I remember

the flames

and strange figures.

You never told me that part of the dream.

It's because I just remembering it, now.

Varian?

What would have happened to your life,

if you hadn't met me?

I would go on with my companions

and find a way home.

You would have found it

if it hadn't been for the dream.

Oh, Gwenith.

I found what I'm searching for.

It's right here. It's right here with you.

I don't want anything more.

I have waited all my life for you.

Never have I known another man.

Never will I.

- Goodbye Varian. - Goodbye Scott.

- Like this? - Like that.

Wish I could think of something to say

without getting all sloppy,

but I can't, so I won't.

You're a lucky man.

Thank you.

Always be happy with one another.

- Thank you. - Thank you, all.

Go, and know that our thoughts go with you.

Wherever you'll be

you'll always be part of my life. All of you.

Looks like goodbyes aren't so good at all, huh?

Let's not prolong the agony. Come on.

- Goodbye! - Goodbye, Scott.

See ya! Take it easy.

Bye.

They were good friends.

I know a part of you goes with them.

My life is here with you, Gwenith.

You could catch them, and go.

We could have last night to remember.

Gwenith... Gwenith, what is this?

I don't want to have you to remember.

I want to have you now for all time.

Yes, I do.

Gwenith.

It is time.

Oh, yes,

It's the Rites of Unification.

Do you prepare with Varian then lead him to the temple?

I will.

Hey!

I want to go back, just for a minute.

Why, Scottie?

None of us gave anything to Varian for his wedding.

Well, that's because none of us had anything.

But I have something.

Nikki gave it to me.

It's a rock from the Planet Mitera,

where the Neffrings live.

And it's the only thing I have that's special to me.

Well, it's fitting.

And I'd just like Varian to have it.

To remember me by.

To remember us by.

I think that's a beautiful idea, Scott.

I do, too. You want us too along?

No, it's all right. It's just up the trail a ways.

I'll only be a little while.

We'll be here.

I still think that somebody ought to go along with him.

I always think that two's company

in a strange place, you know?

That's all right.

Sil-L will accompany him.

You can't go in there.

Just for a minute. I just...

Only the faithful are permitted.

Scott?

I took it you and your people had gone.

I just wanted to give Varian this,

to kind of remember me by.

I'm sorry, Scott.

The ceremony is about to begin.

If you like, I shall see that he gets your gift.

All right.

But would you tell him for me...

Tell him that...

Aw, he knows.

Farewell, Scott.

You look troubled.

I'm about to sacrifice my daughter's beloved to the fires.

Oh, Beticus.

As I offered my own beloved to you

in sacrifice

today I offer the man, Varian.

Merciful Beticus,

ask no more.

Give us a sign.

With Varian's death

let it be enough!

Bring Gwenith and Varian!

Come here!

Know that I love you.

And I love you!

Know that I will always love you.

Fred!

Listen, it's about Varian!

Sig-non.

Oh, great God,

master of trees and mountains, all powerful Beticus.

Bestow your blessing and unify this maid, Gwenith,

and her chosen, Varian,

so that their love, each for the other,

will endure for as long as time is and beyond.

Are you, Varian, ready and willing

to have your love sanctified your God?

I'm.

Then approach the Sacred Pit.

Praise Beticus.

Praise Beticus.

Praise Beticus.

Sig-non.

Oh, great God, Keeper of the Sacred Flame!

Life after life,

in praise everlasting in the glory of your name,

Oh, powerful.

Accept the sacrifice of the love of these

two pure young people.

Allow our colony to survive,

spared of your wrath.

As you give us life,

so do we give you life in return.

Praise Beticus.

- No! - Sig-non.

You must run from here. They're going to sacrifice you

into the fire.

- Gwenith. Gwenith. Gwenith! - To appease the god, Beticus,

God of the Mountain.

Seize him!

What's the matter with you?

There's no God in that pit!

There's nothing but rocks and gasses and lava!

You lie!

No, what I say is true.

Beticus demands sacrifice!

He shall have it!

Gwenith! No!

For all time, Varian.

No!

Halt!

Praise Beticus.

This place. This place.

This place. This place is a dream!

Show us your wrath, Oh, Beticus.

Smite the unbeliever!

Deliver us from this enemy!

No! Never again!

Praise Beticus!

Never!

Praise Beticus...

Praise...

Come on.

Get everybody out of the temple!

Willaway, take care of the lady!

- Let's get out of here! - My child is dead!

I must know, is Varian right?

Did I kill her?

You must leave.

It's all over, partner!

The whole place is coming down.

No!

Hey!

No more, Beticus!

No more die in your name!

That Gwenith jumped into the pit.

Maybe that was the sign.

Maybe Beticus sent that sign.

"Sign!"

There are no signs!

Blood sacrifices!

Why, you were trying to make deals with volcanoes!

Volcanoes do not make deals.

Dear lady,

if there can be any profit from your daughter's death,

let it be that she made you see more clearly.

Take your people away from here.

Found a new colony elsewhere.

And leave superstition behind.

I'm Gwenith.

I have waited for you.

I was told you would come.

How did you know that?

Does it matter?

I'm here and we are together if you wish it to be.

I want to be with you now and forever.

You will be with me

forever.

You all right, buddy?

I'm sorry, Varian.

It's all right.

I have you.

I've got a memory.

Most people don't even have that much.

Let's go.
