- Way to go, Kshin!

- C'mon, Kshin! C'mon.

- Watch me take care of this little turkey.

[grunts]

- Stop him! - He's gonna score.

- Wow! - Nice shot.

- You sure faced down Stewie.

- Better luck next time, Stewie.

- You cheated.

- Hey, I'm a Defender and Defenders don't cheat.

- Okay, Mr. Defender. Let's see you defend yourself.

- I can't fight you.

Defenders don't fight unless it's very important.

- You won't fight 'cause you're a chicken runt,

that's why. - [whistles]

[panting] All right.

What's going on here?

- Aw, Kshin just got a little clumsy.

C'mon guys, let's leave the Defender

alone so he can protect his mud puddle.

- You should be more careful, Kshin.

- Oh, rats!

- Why don't you tell me how this new device works, Rick?

- I want to surprise you, Lothar.

There. Now all you've gotta do

is bring your wrists together to activate it.

[buzzing]

- [nervous chattering]

- Easy, Kisa. Easy, girl. - [snarling]

- What is this?

- It's the energy field around your body

magnified , times.

- But what good is it? - Watch.

Lothar, throw a punch at that brick wall over there.

- From here? - Absolutely.

- It's all right, Zuffy. You can come out now.

- Very well done, Rick. - Thanks, Lothar.

- Ah, Kshin, you're just in time--

What happened to you?

- Nothing. - Nothing?

You look like a reject from a zombie movie.

- [chirping]

- Not now, Zuffy. Hey, cut it out, Kisa.

[laughter] Don't laugh at me.

Mandrake, can I have the key to your library?

[coughs] I have some, um, homework to do.

- Certainly, Kshin.

- Thanks.

- Kshin...as always, you are to stay away

from all of the sorcery books.

- Sure.

- What's gotten into him?

- Good question.

- [chirping]

- Don't worry, Zuffy. I'm not gonna look at all

the sorcery books, just one of them.

- [chirping nervously]

- It's very strange for Kshin to miss a meal.

- Very strange indeed. - Could he be ill?

- I don't know, but I intend to find out.

- LJ.

- No sense in wasting good food.

[knocking] - Kshin?

I'd like to talk to you.

Kshin?

- Maybe Defenders can't get into dumb fist fights,

but there's no rule against fighting with a little magic.

Hey! Here's a spell that'll turn Stewie

and his friends into toads.

How about I try it out on you, Zuffy?

- [squeals]

- Don't worry, I'll turn you right back into a Zuffoid.

Kanama-laz, for-tenay-ode,

I hereby turn you into a toad!
[ … ]

- [groans]

[croaks]

- Ah, relax, Zuffy. It didn't work.

- [whines]

- Kshin, are you in there?

- Oh, no! Mandrake.

Zuffy, you go stall him while I put this book back.

Hey, what's that?

Got it. [grunts]

Ah, ouch!

- Kshin?

- [chirping]

- Zuffy, you're sitting on my hat.

- Bingo!

[mysterious music]

- You wouldn't happen to know where Kshin is,

would you, Zuffy?

- Thank you. You've been a tremendous help.

Ah, there you are.

- Oh, hi, Mandrake.

I was just, uh... finishing up my homework.

[yawns] And boy, am I tired.

- Kshin, is everything all right?

- Couldn't be better. Good night.

- "Wallpapering your kitchen"?

[thunder crashing]

- Creatures of darkness, hear and obey.

I call on the demon Shogoth to cross the endless void

and avenge me against my enemies.

Shogoth kaz-nar-fen-da hood!

[thunder crashing] - [squeals]

- Hello, Kshin.

You call Shogoth?

[cackling]

- You call Shogoth?

- I guess so, yeah.

- You Master.

- Wow!

- Look Shogoth in eye.

Then, look in eye upside-down.

[cackles]

- Whoa!

- What you think, Master?

- I think Stewie and his crummy friends

are in for a lot of trouble.

- I can wait no longer, Octon. Report!

- The unusual power surge I have detected

is located near Monitor.

- And what type of power is it?

- Unknown, Sire.

- Flash Gordon and his accursed Defenders are up to something.

Send a team of Frost People to Central City at once.

I must know what it is.

- Well, what do you think, Phantom?

Could this be something Ming cooked up?

- Hard to say, Flash, but I suggest we

investigate at once.

- Dynak, can you give us a fix on this power surge?

- The power surge has now moved to sector ,

Central City Junior High School.

- Ah, we've got a problem.

- Hee-yah, hee-yah!

- [chirping]

- Hey, look who's here.

It's the karate creep.

[laughter]

- I can't fight you, Stewie.

It's against the Defender's code.

- Ha! Here's what I think of your code, wimp.

- Maybe I can't fight you, but I've got a friend who can.

[whistles]

[dramatic music]

- Yes, Kshin?

- Let 'em have it, Shogoth.

- Yes, Master.

all[shouting]

- This is great!

- [chirping]

- What's going on here?

- Uh, Stewie and his friends just got a little clumsy.

- Magic, my friends, is simply the art of illusion.

Of course it's always important to spice up

illusion with a little...

razzle-dazzle.

[applause] Thank you.

Thank you very-- [grunts]

- That's not part of the act.

- Uh--uh--we'll be right back after this message.

- Mandrake!

- [groans] I'm all right.

Lothar, there's an evil presence nearby.

Destructive beyond our imaginations.

We have to stop it.

- Thanks a lot for your help, Shogoth,
[ … ]

but you can go back to wherever you came from, okay?

So, uh, bye.

- [cackles]

Shogoth not leave.

Shogoth like it here.

- Okay, if you won't go,

then I'll just have to say the magic words.

Kas-nar-fen-da-hood.

- [laughing]

You not Master anymore.

No one master to Shogoth.

- Yeah, Mandrake, the greatest magician in the world--

And--and he'll just...

- [screams]

You not threaten Shogoth!

- [squeals]

- Let us go!

- Shogoth not stop, Kshin.

Kshin, stop himself.

Behold...

- You were told never to touch my sorcery books!

A boy who disobeys is a boy who can't

be trusted to become a Defender.

- [chirping]

- [laughs menacingly]

Kshin tell Mandrake, Kshin lose everything!

[cackling]

- What power this creature must possess.

In the right hands, my hands,

it could smash the Defenders into oblivion.

- The power source is moving away from the school, Flash.

- Well that's a lucky break for...

Phantom, look!

What on Earth is that?

- The answer, my friend, is not of this Earth.

- You take care of Handsome Harry.

I'm gonna go up top and help those passengers.

- What the...

Come on, come on!

I--I gotta pull out of this dive.

- Only...one thing...

left to try.

[grunts]

Well, Rick's not the only guy

who knows how to deal with machines.

- [roaring]

No one stops Shogoth!

No one stops Shogoth!

- You are truly a wonder of the world, Shogoth.

But there are lowly mortals who could stop you.

- Who? Who speaks to Shogoth?

- I am Ming the Merciless,

your friend and admirer.

- And who are these mortals

that would stop Shogoth?

- They call themselves the Defenders of the Earth.

To destroy them, you must first destroy their machine

called Dynak X, lodged within that mountain.

Smash that machine

and the Defenders can never hurt you.

- [roars]

Shogoth will smash this Dynak machine.

- And then you will serve Ming the Merciless

as my greatest weapon.

- [roaring]

- There's the source of the trouble.

- What can we do against something like that?

- Nothing you can do, my friend.

This is a sorcerer's battle.

- Feel the wrath of Shogoth!

- I've got to warn Mandrake, I've just got to.

- [chirps]

- I can be trusted.

I only wanted to show those bullies--

I didn't mean for it to go this far.

- I like Central City very much,

but sometimes I miss the excitement of the jungle.

- Hang on! Hang on, guys.

[dramatic music]

- Oh, no! That's Rick's van.

Uh...Zandar nee yod ko...

Why isn't this working? - [chirps]

- Oh, Shogoth, get lost!

- Shogoth tired of Kshin!

[roaring] - Kshin!

- [grunting] Can't hold it...

any longer...

- Kshin, are you all right?

- It's all my fault, Mandrake. I called the demon

with a magic spell I found in your library.

- You what? - I'm sorry!

Please, I'll do anything, just don't--

- The spell! Where's the spell?

- Mandrake, please! Let me explain.

I didn't mean-- - Not now, Kshin.

This spell can stop that creature,

but we have to act quickly.

- Mandrake, do you need some help?

- [growls]

- Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

Initiating self-defense mechanisms...

- [growls] You will not harm Shogoth.

- Stop! You cannot...do this...

Stop...

- Shogoth.

I am Mandrake, your superior.

- No one is superior to me, Mandrake!

You are weak.

Shogoth destroy you.

Destroy all of you!

- I think not. According to this document,

you are an Earth demon

and therefore are weakest when off the Earth.

- So? - So you're history, pal.

[growling]

- Quick, he's escaping!

- There he is!

- How can we stop a cloud?

- Every cloud has its silver lining.

- And now, to hurl this unwelcome visitor

back to his own--

- They're taking Shogoth.

- Let them go.

I think he's had enough of this world.

Why not let Ming deal with him for awhile?

- You have failed, Shogoth, but in my infinite compassion,

I have chosen to save you.

With my help, you can still destroy Mandrake

and the other Defenders.

- Shogoth want no more Mandrake!

No more Defenders.

Shogoth want go home.

- You will obey me, demon.

- Shogoth obey no one!

- I command you to stop!

Stop! I command it.

- Shogoth go home!

- The power surge has disappeared

from our time-space continuum.

- Now all we have to deal with is the danger of Kshin,

whose need to take revenge

on some schoolyard bullies threatened us all.

Please leave us alone for a little while.

- [chirping]

- Mandrake, I'll take my punishment like a man.

But please don't send me away.

- Who said anything about sending you away?

- Shogoth showed me the future.

How you would send me away if I told you about him and--

- And you told me anyway.

That took a lot of courage, Kshin.

- You're not going to send me away?

- No. This is your home.

Now and forever.

You'll still be punished,

but no one's sending you anywhere, Kshin.

- Oh, Mandrake. You can trust me.

I'll never disobey you again. I'll make you so proud of me.

- You already have, Kshin. You already have.
