You attempted escape.
We have been on a slight exploitation.
You have been brought back to me.
Brought back? We came of our own free will.
We are not to be subjected to any torture.
We came of our own free will. We are not to be subjected like the Zabis, or terrorized like the Minotaur.
You are of no further use except for the way you think.
I need your intelligence. You will be brought to the center, to me.
What do they want now?
We should be taken to the center, Charles. Try not to be afraid.
The doctor will have reached the control section by now.
Papylus, we should send in the Zabi.
You better let me have the way of the structure back again, Charles.
We may not get another chance.
Doctor, I haven't got it.
Oh yes, I gave it to you. Come along now, Charles. Come along.
It's just that I haven't got it now.
Where is it, Charles?
It's in the astral map. I hid it there.
Oh, yes.
I'll go and get it.
I'll go and get it. I hid it there.
Zabi coming. Are we ready?
Papylus, it will throw the necklet off.
Now.
Zabi!
It will return with reinforcements.
Well, that was the idea, wasn't it?
We must move into the corridors to make it more difficult for the Zabi.
They won't scatter us so easily.
I will take the first larvae gun.
Look out! An acid again.
No, Heron. It is water.
Water?
Water sucks goodness from our world.
Water?
It sank below the surface when the animus choked the soil.
Well, it's still there, Breastyn.
All you have to do is bring it to the surface.
You can grow your plants again.
If we go up, we meet the blinding heart of Wadarach.
I have fear.
Optera, stay!
Listen, Optera. Wadarach is evil.
The Menoptera are stronger than evil.
The world above is good.
Breastyn, if this is a route we can't lose our way, why not leave them here?
No. They are descendants of my race. They can live in light. Can't?
They stay. I go.
If there is safety, I return for them.
We go.
Hosta?
Yes, I'm ready.
What are they doing?
The Zabi will have larvae guns.
This is the only way we can stop them.
If it works.
Step back, Optera.
The Zabi will have larvae guns.
This is the only way we can stop them.
If it works.
Step back, Optera.
If it works.
Hosta is dead.
Then we must succeed.
So that Hosta may lie at rest in the temples of light.
Do not cry, Linia. There is work to do.
Come.
The next gun is mine.
Come.
Can you see it, Doctor?
The light is too bright for my eyes.
What is the vortex?
I am.
What are you?
I will become.
Doctor.
Leave us alone, you parasite.
Parasite?
Power.
Absorbing territory.
Wealth.
Energy.
Culture.
You.
Come to me.
You filthy great spider.
You will not get us because...
We will not move.
Do not fight against it.
Approach.
Both of you.
I must not move.
There seems to be no end to it.
Watch out!
All right?
The blinding dark is near.
Let us rest.
No.
Xavi.
How many?
I only saw one.
With the lava?
No, I think he was alone.
Do not let him give the alarm, Helio.
It seems to be the Bersagli nest.
How does the animal control it?
Look!
I can not...
Struggle anymore.
Doctor, help me.
There is no...
No chance.
It's all my fault.
What I take from you...
I will be able to reach beyond this galaxy...
In the solar system.
To extract from the earth its various techniques...
And take from man the mastery of space.
Look out!
Xavi!
Xavi is wounded.
The alien is in control.
This sector seems to be paralyzed.
Look!
This is the doctor's astral map.
Does it work?
Yes, I think so.
Can we speak to the invasion force with it?
Yes, if I can find the right frequency.
Where do you want to set it?
To the planet Pictos.
There.
Now, try it.
Vortis to main force.
Warning.
Repeat.
Warning.
Electron weapons useless against Xavi.
I saw Plato heavily attacked.
Wait for instructions.
Answer.
Either it has not heard or does not trust us.
I did not set it right.
I do not know if there is something wrong.
This thing should be able to...
Papylus, look!
It's the isotope.
The doctor must have been captured.
Then we must take it to the center ourselves.
But why?
There is no time to lose.
Helio will take care of the doctor.
Helio!
Give me that.
It's like cutting through a tree.
The blind mouth of Badarek will not let us through.
Try.
Remember.
The destructor must be aimed at the dark side of the animus.
Xavi.
There is no turning back.
We must rush them.
It only needs one of us to get through with the destructor.
Now.
Xavi.
Babarach.
Babarach, Babarach, Babarach.
They are following us.
Perhaps we were expected.
This must be the center.
Give me the isotope.
Xavi!
All of you.
Light.
Oh, leave me and not this light.
It is evil.
Babarach, the destructor.
Take it.
Babarach.
Oh, Babarach.
The dark side.
I must aim it at the dark side.
Approach.
Approach us, people.
Your struggles are futile.
It doesn't work.
Escape is impossible.
Impossible.
Ian.
You are expected to.
You have not the power.
Power.
Master the, master the, the, the universe.
It's dead.
What is it?
Water.
It is.
Why does it appear now?
Before the animus, water flowed freely on vortice.
Now the evil is gone.
Our streams run pure again.
Our vegetation will flourish.
Barbara.
Come and look, water.
Be strong.
The light is very good.
We fly like you.
No, but your children may fly.
We see.
Be patient.
Without flight, how will the gods of light be kind to my people?
Vortice is strong by thought.
We will work together.
If I had not lived till this time, I would have counted my life entirely wasted.
Doctor, we owe you a great deal.
There's only one thing you owe me, my friend.
And what is that?
That is my ring.
Your ring?
My ring on my life.
Thank you.
Well, they seem to be enjoying themselves up here.
The light is good.
Light is good.
Heron, will you come back to vortice?
Oh, I doubt it, Reston.
But knowing the doctor, you can never be sure.
Reston, have you mended the communicator?
Well, my boy?
We've managed to come out of this lot unscathed?
Yes.
All except my old school tie.
Yes, it's quite a problem, isn't it?
It's something to do with the cold, wasn't it?
Coal Hill School.
An old Coal Hill School tie.
Black with thin emerald green stripes on it.
Yes, yes.
Quite so.
Come on.
Barbara.
Vicki.
It disappeared.
Their deeds shall be sung in the temples of life.
Pictus shall remind us of a time as it circles vortice.
Every time it points to the needle of the kings as it does now.
Then we shall weave songs to praise the gods of light and thank them that they sent the earth people to save us from the animals.
Now the Zabi-Nabbi feed the soil.
The flower forest shall grow again across vortice.
But we must not allow the forest to conceal another lurking animals.
Welcome the main force.
Vortice to main force.
Main force to vortice.
Frestin, where shall we land?
The dark power is dead.
Fly in, Menoptera, to the delta of lights.
We are waiting.
