Don't forget,
my son.
You must use your power only...
to protect the world
from evil.
I will obey.
How does he receive
our messages?
Do not ask me.
Just wondering how it
gets there so fast.
- Guru, there's a message.
- I've had heard.
- You heard?
- Yes, I shall leave immediately.
- Stop, you may not leave.
- You?
Yes it's I.
The dark powers have triumph.
The dark powers have triumph.
Perish.
Perish. Perish.
I don't understand.
Guru has never been
late before.
Maybe your magic
carpet broke down.
Oh boy have I get
a headache.
Feels like someone has put
a telegram in my head.
Better take some aspirin
and go home.
Good idea. Let's
all go home.
Guru! He's in
trouble.
You mean you got us out of
bed about this time...
just because you
had a headache.
It wasn't a headache.
It was Guru trying
to contact me.
He need help. It's
somewhere here.
Now I heard everything.
Are you sure it wasn't the aspirin
I gave you, Jonathan?
Okay, you don't have to believe
me. I'll go alone.
Good, I'm going back to sleep.
Come down, Busby.
How would you get
there, Kidd?
- It would take a long time.
- Not if take the Voyager.
- In normal size.
- What? It was never make it.
That's a chance I
have to take.
You don't have to
come, Busby.
I know. But if that ship has gonna crash,
I'm the one to do it.
Okay to take of.
- Awfully heavy, can we make it?
- Cross your fingers.
Busby, look out!
- We made it.
- I can't imagine how.
That's hopeless.
I can't see a thing.
Who says there's something
to see?
One more word Busby and...
Oh, my head.
He's near here.
Look for a peak shaped
like two snakes.
- Over there, on that hill.
- We'll never get in there.
You have
to go out, Kidd.
I'm ready.
Open it up.
- Is alive
- I can tell, prepare the net.
You're right Kidd.
How is he?
I'm not sure, but
he's badly hurt.
I think he put himself
in a trance.
To stop any further damage.
Get us back in hurry, Busby.
It's no use. His
brain is damaged.
- We cannot operate from outside.
- I was afraid that.
Get the process ready.
You mean we're going
inside his brain?
That's right, you will be
inserted into his body.
Try to heal him over there.
This has been done before.
But not inside a
brain like his.
We'll never figure
what's what.
We thought that.
You will have help.
This is Elka Sirrah,
Guru's Owner Associate.
He's fortunately just arrived
in this country.
And will accompany them.
If anyone who can interpret
Guru's mind, he can.
Prepare the miniaturize. Hurry,
there's no time to loose.
Close process.
We're in!
Imagine inside the bloodstream
of a human being.
What are these
things Erica?
I think this is a lymph
node and those...
are red and white
blood cells.
There are neither.
They are the spirits of
good and evil in man.
Oh, that sounds like something
out of an old horror movie.
I know Miss. Lane,
you forget that...
I am the master
of the unseen.
- I thought Guru was the master?
- Guru? Fool!
Dare to face
me.
Take it easy, friend.
We're here to heal the guru, not
hurt ourselves, remember?
Of course, forgive me.
I wouldn't have hurt
you, Ms. Lane.
You see? My deepest
apologies.
That's alright.
- Hey, what's going on down there?
- Nothing.
Well, there is, up here.
Look ahead.
Where are they
now, Carter?
After the medulla oblongata, the
rear entrance to the brain.
Ten hours left.
It's Busby nerve endings,
be very careful.
No problems.
Now you've done it, Busby.
Don't panic, I...
We're out of this.
Well, look who drop in.
How about some more singing
and little more driving for now?
Yes sir.
Oh my Gosh. Look!
- What's in there?
- What is it?
Where are we?
I figured your scientific knowledge
would soon fail you.
We are enter the
of Guru's min.
These is his memories. This
is the materials of his past.
Everything he knows. Everything
that's happen to him.
Is store here in
his memory.
- We're seeing his mind.
- So I'll be...
- Hey, that's the Brooklyn Bridge.
- And Greenland.
- What was he doing there.
- Professor Carter.
- 30 years ago.
- It's unbelievable.
- It's so real.
- You said it.
If I didn't know better...
I'd say there's a train
heading straight for us.
Look out!
Wow, I'm glad those things
already happened.
Look that storm.
I would hate to be under that.
Hey, it's real!
- What is going on?
- I don't know.
Any supernatural
explanation, Elka Sirrah.
Maybe we're all
going crazy.
You are the leader, Kidd.
Start leading.
Very... wait a second.
Look at the oxygen
meter.
We're still getting
air from outside.
- Open the bubble, Busby.
- What? I'll get all filthy.
- Do it.
- Yes sir.
Hey, it's not real. But
what made it slide?
I don't know.
Then I'll tell you.
That was a warning.
In order not to advance further.
We arrive at the dark area.
We must not enter.
But that's the wounded part.
We must get in.
- No, we can't.
- I give the orders here, please.
Start it up, Busby.
Something is making a mess.
Muscle fibers, that's
what did it.
I'll go get them, I'll
be right back.
If you leave the ship,
you will never return.
Baloney. Boy, this guy
is worse than the Guru.
Busby.
He disappeared.
What is it?
A desert?
Hmm. I wish he would
remember...
something else more like a
maharaja's palace.
Well, that's more
I like it.
At least I can enjoy the
scenery while I wait.
- There is no trace all.
- I warning you, Kidd.
The spirits of darkness
have taken him away.
- We've must turn back.
- We're not turning back, that is clear?
As you wish, Commander.
You're about to invade...
most secret of the
mind, Mr. Kidd.
Anything may happen.
But say, what is it?
Where are they?
You see?
I has begun.
Your fate is sealed.
- How about yours?
- I am different.
- I understand
- And I understand one thing.
Our only chance is to go
in there and heal Guru.
Come on.
What does that say?
Is it a message?
Yes, a message of doom to all
who were there and after.
You cannot go on.
Are you sure that's
what it says?
I've have spoke it.
As usual, while I was
spoken too, come on.
- You can wait here.
- You will not succeed.
You know, that message
doesn't make sense.
Guru sent it to me. Why
why he want me to leave?
Maybe Elka Sirrah
was so scared...
that he invented everything
to make us come back.
Maybe, but he's right
about one thing.
Someone is trying
to stop us.
Though I don't think they're
dark spirits.
Come on, we have to
get to the wound.
They are all over.
- Jonathan, where are you?
- Come on Erica, don't wait.
Hurry Erica!
I can't see it.
That should clear.
There is, Erica.
Do not worry about me.
Go on, go on.
I am going.
Come in, Voyager.
Only three hours left.
Voyager, come in, Voyager.
Kidd, where are you?
This must be the cerebellum.
Turn back!
Turn back!
Busby! how did you...
Not. It's just another
memory.
But a recent one.
That means I must be
nearing the wound.
Turn back!
Turn back!
Oh no, it's coming.
There's the wound.
A hidden clot.
No wonder we can't do
anything about it.
That should dissolve it.
If nothing stops me.
A monastery?
I know.
Those must be the last things
he must have seen.
Too late.
Too late.
I must hurry.
Too late, he cannot
be healed.
Just a little...
Who is that? It must be
the person who did it.
The last thing he saw.
Elka Sirrah. Of course, you
should have guessed.
Yes, is this I.
I Elka Sirrah have
gained my revenge.
Revenge for what?
He was chosen to receive the
powers of the holy flame.
It should be me. I was
greater than him.
Far greater, but
not matter.
He will never use
his powers again.
Wait, you can't...
Wait, why was
he chosen?
I mean, if you were supposed
to be much greater?
He deceived me,
he cheat me.
Are you sure it wasn't
the other way around?
It makes no difference.
Get out of the way.
By the powers
of... What?
Not this time,
Elka Sirrah.
Dumbs you can't stop
Elka Sirrah.
I can sure try.
It's done.
So there you are,
my dear.
Elka Sirrah!
Cease your evil.
- You cannot stop me.
- Cease!
- I will not obey you.
- You must!
No, no!
I...
Where?
Hey, what happened?
The Voyager!
It's reacting, sir.
Thank goodness. Now
they better get out.
Fast!
Gone.
I don't know what it was, but I was
really happy that it showed up.
I'll tell you about
it later.
But what is going on now?
They are antibodies. Guru's body
is returning to normal...
and is trying to expel the
foreign substances.
- Us!
- What can we do?
I don't know...
Help!
Hold still.
It's hopeless, we can't
fight with all.
It's the Voyager!
Here they are!
Go on I'll
be right there.
Hurry, Jonathan.
Hurry, Busby. We can't
get caught in here.
Faster!
Faster!
There it is.
How are you feeling, Guru?
Recovered, thank you.
I am very thankful.
- Thank you very much.
- Forget it.
Yeah. I always wanted to know
what was inside your head.
Do you know now?
No, but next time I won't meddle
in other people's business.
I think Elka Sirrah
fells the same way.
He decided to give up magic,
he can work for a living.
You know it's not
a bad idea.
It's a lot safer.

he's badly hurt.

To stop any further damage.
Get us back in hurry, Busby.
It's no use. His
brain is damaged.
- We cannot operate from outside.
- I was afraid that.
Get the process ready.
You mean we're going
inside his brain?
That's right, you will be

They are all over.

Hurry Erica!
I can't see it.
That should clear.
There is, Erica.
Do not worry about me.
Go on, go on.
I am going.
Come in, Voyager.
Only three hours left.

Just a little...
Who is that? It must be
the person who did it.
The last thing he saw.
Elka Sirrah. Of course, you
should have guessed.
Yes, is this I.
I Elka Sirrah have
gained my revenge.
Revenge for what?
He was chosen to receive the
powers of the holy flame.
It should be me. I was
greater than him.
Far greater, but
not matter.
He will never use
his powers again.
Wait, you can't...
Wait, why was
he chosen?
I mean, if you were supposed
to be much greater?
He deceived me,
he cheat me.
Are you sure it wasn't
the other way around?
It makes no difference.
Get out of the way.
By the powers
of... What?
Not this time,
Elka Sirrah.
Dumbs you can't stop
Elka Sirrah.
I can sure try.
It's done.
So there you are,
my dear.
Elka Sirrah!
Cease your evil.
- You cannot stop me.
- Cease!
- I will not obey you.
- You must!
No, no!
I...
Where?
Hey, what happened?
The Voyager!
It's reacting, sir.
Thank goodness. Now
they better get out.
Fast!
Gone.
I don't know what it was, but I was
really happy that it showed up.
I'll tell you about
it later.
But what is going on now?
They are antibodies. Guru's body

I don't know...
Help!
Hold still.
It's hopeless, we can't
fight with all.
It's the Voyager!
Here they are!
Go on I'll
be right there.
Hurry, Jonathan.
Hurry, Busby. We can't
get caught in here.
Faster!
Faster!
There it is.
How are you feeling, Guru?
Recovered, thank you.
I am very thankful.
- Thank you very much.
- Forget it.
Yeah. I always wanted to know
what was inside your head.
Do you know now?
No, but next time I won't meddle
in other people's business.
I think Elka Sirrah
fells the same way.
He decided to give up magic,
