At the Earth's Core Page #3

Synopsis: A Victorian scientist and his young American backer set off in their new earth-boring machine with a short test on a Welsh mountain. Unfortunately the thing is rather more powerful than expected and they end up in an enormous cavern at the centre of the earth. Here they find a race of humans enslaved to evil oversized prehistoric birds with extra-sensory abilities. The travellers decide they can be some help, the more so as at least one of the slaves is very eye-catching.

Here, doc. Come on.

Watch yourself.

Come on.

Oh!

Fresh air at last.

David?

I'm so sorry, dear fellow.

This place is apt to make

one a little jumpy.

Here, sit down.

Dia!

Come, and I kill her.

Dia!

Ahh! David!

Bull's-eye!

Dia?

No.

Dia, I thought

I'd never see you again.

Dia?

Be masterful, David.

Dia?

Sit down!

Sit down!

- Now, you listen to me...

- No, it's too late now.

When we were near my village,

I managed to escape

from Hoojah the sly one.

And now I fear

that Hoojah the sly one

will lead Jubal

the ugly one back here.

I heard about him.

David, he will kill you.

He is the strongest warrior

in all of Pellucidar.

What, David?

The sooner I meet up

with Jubal, the better.

Come on.

Come on!

- Watch your step, doc.

- Oh, yes.

My word, what a fiery beastie.

Oh, your royal highness,

how very nice

to see you again.

Remarkably efficient,

these primitive weapons.

I've never had occasion

to use them before.

Ha! The cord

from my spectacles.

Oh, your tomahawk came

in very useful, too, David.

Brains before brawn, huh, doc?

Oh, a combination of both, dear boy.

We must hurry.

Yeah, I've got to find the ugly one.

Wouldn't exactly call him

very pretty, would you?

Hey, David!

Wait for me!

It's Jubal the ugly one!

You can say that again.

Come, we must hide.

- No, no, Dia, no!

- Come!

I'm gonna have to fight

Jubal once and for all.

- Stand aside, David.

- Doc, I said this is my fight.

- Ohh!

- David!

David...

Watch him, David!

That's right, David.

Dia.

No! No!

Unhand her, you coward.

Never mind the Queensberry rules.

Well done, David!

Now...

you scoundrel.

Missed.

Well, at least we put

him to his heels. Hmph!

Well done, David!

Such courage, my boy!

Such great courage!

David!

Jubal!

You have defeated Jubal.

Dia is yours.

Dia will not be mine until we destroy

the Mahars and free Pellucidar.

Raise bows.

Take aim.

Fire!

Robin Hood and his

merry men, what, David?

Hear me, leaders of

the tribes of Pellucidar.

These strangers came to our world...

a world ruled by the Mahars who

have enslaved and tortured us.

For as long as we can recall...

our tribes have been divided.

Now, with the help of

our new-found friends

we are united.

And we have the strength and the

power to destroy once and for all

those who have enslaved us.

Death to the Mahars!

Well, David, would you like to

summarize our deployment?

I will lead the main attack.

Ghak, and his men will cover the rear.

Ra and Dr. Perry will go ahead of us

through the lava channel

and the inner sanctum

and cut off the main fire supply.

I hate to ask you

to do this, doc,

but you know where

the controls are.

I'm delighted to be of

some active service, my boy.

Don't you worry, David.

I will take good care of him.

Oh, most kind.

Well, meeting adjourned, gentlemen.

- I go with you, yes?

- No, Dia. No.

Why not, David?

Dia, the Mahar city is

no place for you.

- David...

- Dia.

This is it.

I must warn you,

it gets very hot in there.

Deuced it's hot!

You could roast an ox in here.

Got you, you bounder!

Oh, I do beg your pardon,

your royal highness.

I thought you were the enemy.

- No.

- Dia, what are you doing here?

It's Hoojah... he has

been captured by the Sagoths.

He might betray us.

That traitorous blighter!

What a pity my arrow missed him.

Oh, well.

Quickly, fall in.

- Follow me.

- Right.

Single file.

Retreat!

Ra, the inner sanctum!

You cannot mesmerize me!

I'm British!

Dia!

Dia! Perry!

Dia!

Dia!

Doc!

Dia!

David!

David!

Ahh, David!

David!

Doc, you're limping!

Oh, it's my brolly!

Come on, doc, hurry up!

Come on, doc!

Here, David, here!

Come on!

Keep going, doc.

Dia.

Perry, this way.

Wh-why have you stopped?

- We must wait for Ra!

- Oh, yes!

Ra!

It's too late.

Come on!

Dia.

Doc.

Doc...

Ra!

Poor Ra.

Yes, indeed.

A brave man.

Come on, doc.

Ah, here's David and his lovely lady.

Goodbye!

People of Pellucidar,

according to your custom,

I take Dia

to be my bride.

No, David.

It's not to be.

I must stay here.

This is my world.

I would be lost in yours.

No. No, you wouldn't.

I want to show you

the wonders of my world.

I know, and I love you.

Come along, David.

We must be on our way.

Goodbye, Dia.

God bless you.

David?
