NARRATOR: Somewhere out in space live the Herculoids.

[theme music]

Zok, the laser ray dragon.

Igoo, the giant rock ape.

Tundro, the tremendous.

Gloop and Gleep, the formless, fearless wonders.

With Zandor, their leader.

[squawking]

And his wife, Tara and son, Dorno.

They team up to protect their planet from sinister invaders.

[boom]

[pew pew]

[bam bif]

[zapping]

[boom]

All strong, all brave, all heroes.

They are "The Herculoids."

[theme music]

[beeping]

Rodak, your viewer. A Herculoid is near.

Good. That is the one we will take.

DORNO: The gladiators of Kyanite.

They only come here when they need someone for their games.

Fire the tranquil beam.

[pew pew pew]

[growl]

TARA: They're after Tundro.

[pew pew pew]

[roar]

[dakka dakka dakka]

[bonk bonk]

He fights well.

Not even our tranquil beam could hold him.

Yes. Neron will be pleased. Cage him.

[roar]

[pew pew pew]

[thud]

[roar]

TARA: The gladiators have got him.

Dorno, signal Zandor.

They've taken Tundro to the arenas of Kyanite.

[growl]

Zok and I will go on ahead, Tara.

Dorno, you follow with the rest of the Herculoids.

Right, Zandor.

[crowd cheering]

[roar]

An excellent choice.

He will give our gladiators a fierce fight

before they dispose of him.

Now, let the games begin.

[trumpeting]

[roar]

[roar]

[clank]

[roar]

[dakka dakka]

[bonk bonk]

Explosions from the arena. Hurry, Zok.

[squawking]

[zapping]

[roar]

Ha! I have him.

There's Tundro. Not a second to lose.

[squawking]

[wham]

[thud]

[squawking]

[pew pew pew]

[bam]

Who are these intruders?

The man is Zandor.

And the flying creature is another Herculoid.

That's right, Neron. And we are leaving your games.

Then, you must fight your way out.

[dramatic music]

They're surrounding us.

[roar]

ALL: For Neron.

ALL: For Neron.

[Igoo growling]

[crash]

[growl]

Zandor!

More Herculoids.

Good. Then, let them all be defeated.

[babbling]

[boing boing]

Two down and four to go.

[plop]

[boom]

[babbling]

The Herculoids have defeated your gladiators, Neron.

Now, we shall leave.

You and your Herculoids will never leave the arena, Zandor.

For you have yet to meet my champions, Rodak and Ticon.

[growl]

For you, my laser spear.

[pew pew pew]

[crash]

[growl]

[crack]

[growl]

No mere beast can defeat Rodak.

[roar]

[dakka dakka]

[tzing tzing]

Now, it is my turn.

[babbling]

Sssss

Now, all your champions have been defeated

by the Herculoids, Neron.

True, Zandor, but it is you who will pay the price.

[squawking]

Zok, the sword.

[squawking]

[pew pew pew]

[boom]

There goes Neron. He's escaping.

It doesn't matter, Dorno.

As long as he's gone

the threat of these deadly games has ended forever.

[growl]

[roar]

[squawking]

[birds chirping]

[instrumental music]

Strangers come. To your places.

[dramatic music]

[theme music]

- Where are we? - I don't know.

Maybe Zandor can tell us.

[squawking]

And here he is now.

Zandor, where are we?

ZANDOR: This is all that remains of a lost civilization.

What's that awful-looking thing up there?

[growl]

ZANDOR: That is Trax, Dorno.

It's the idol they used to sacrifice their enemies to

thousands of years ago.

Fortunately, that's all over now.

[maniacal laugh]

We shall see.

We shall see.

[maniacal laugh]

Once we're over that mountain range, we'll be home.

I'll scout ahead.

[squawking]

Be careful.

We will, Zandor.

Let's go, Igoo.

[growl]

So Zandor leaves.

[squawking]

Now.

[babbling]

[growl]

[babbling]

- What is it, Gloop? - Look.

Two of them...moving. They're alive!

Atta boy, Tundro.

Igoo, call Zandor.

[growl]

I hope Zandor hears that, Tara.

[babbling]

She's gone.

[babbling]

[growl]

[Gloop babbling]

That was Igoo's call.

[squawking]

Zok, we've got to backtrack as fast as we can.

[squawking]

There must be a secret door here somewhere.

[growl]

[crash]

A passageway. Come on.

[babbling]

[squawking]

Quick. We've gotta find Tara.

Igoo, look out.

[growl]

[snarling]

[babbling]

[growl]

Thanks, Gloop. We almost lost Igoo.

[babbling]

Passageway continues on the other side of that pit.

We've gotta get across.

Do you think you can make it, Igoo?

[growl]

[thud]

[dramatic music]

Easy now, Tundro.

[babbling]

Igoo, the edge is cracking.

Igoo!

[bam bam]

[splash]

Hang on, we're coming.

[babbling]

[rumble]

[creak]

[snap]

[bam]

[splash]

DORNO: Come on, let's keep going.

[growl]

[music continues]

Where are we?

Man 1 : You are in the sacrificial chamber

where those to be sacrificed wait their turn.

[maniacal laugh]

Escape while you can, Dorno.

Tara!

There is no escape.

[thud]

DORNO: We're trapped.

[Igoo growls]

[drumbeats]

What's that?

[babbling]

[growl]

[music continues]

We've gotta get out of here.

Come on, Gloop. I've got an idea.

[babbling]

[music continues]

Going up.

[growl]

The door controls are up here.

[growl]

[roar]

Here goes. I hope I have the right one.

[growl]

[roar]

DORNO: Going down.

[babbling]

[music continues]

After 2000 years, Trax will live again.

Ah! Oh!

DORNO: Stop!

I said stop.

It's too late.

Already the hands of Trax close in to claim

his first victim in 2000 years.

And no one interferes.

[growl]

[crack]

[crash]

They must not interfere.

[creak]

[t'chi]

[bam]

[crash]

[roar]

[dakka dakka]

[tzing tzing]

[thud]

[wham]

[crash]

Trax is not to be denied.

Look, the hands.

Ah! Oh! Oh!

[pew pew pew]

[squawking]

[pew pew pew]

[boom]

[screaming]

What do you think happened to him?

These ancient cities had many subterranean chambers, Tara.

Well, I don't wanna see any more of 'em.

Look out, Igoo.

[crash]

[roar]

You can say that again, Igoo.

[roar]
