"Cowards !" "Fools !" "Come back !" "Faster !" "Sauron is weakening." "Our people shall be free once more !" " Not yet !" " It is over, Sauron." "Your reign of terror over the Savage Land ends now !" "Never !" "Ka-Zar, I warn you !" "Who are you ?" "Quickly !" "Before he revives." "You must leave this place." "I am Zaladane, High Priestess of the Sun God, Garokk." "I know you must absorb mutant life-energy to retain your powers as Sauron." "But how did you know ?" " Garokk is wise." " Garokk doesn't exist !" "He is a fairy tale, made up to scare children." "Garokk is life." "I live to serve him." "The outlander called Magneto brought this vehicle to our valley." "Use it !" "They hate Sauron." "I am Karl Lykos now." "I am safe." "With no mutants left here, I will never become Sauron again." "Ka-Zar won't take that chance." "For your recent tyranny," "Ka-Zar and his Fall People will hunt you down and destroy you." "You must flee." "Quickly, before Ka-Zar finds you !" "The power of Garokk will protect you." "I must leave this place at once." "It is as you commanded." "Whoa !" "I'll take riding over flying any day !" "At your pace, Rogue, I'm surprised you can tell the difference." "A gal's got to let loose now and again." "You ought to give it a try." "I admire your spirit, Rogue." "But unlike you, I must keep my emotions in check, lest my powers rage out of control." "I don't know, Storm." "A little raging every now and again might just do you some good." "Don't fight me." "I'm not going to hurt you." "No, I mustn't..." "I'm no better than a vampire." "Why did I come here ?" "What am I searching for ?" "My friend, why the foreboding countenance ?" "Staring at skeletons makes me nervous." "Well it makes me bored !" "What could be more yawn-inspiring than a zillion-year-old canary ?" "So, whither now ?" "How about the Guggenheim, for the Magritte exhibit ?" " How about a chili dog with the works ?" " Last one there's a fossilized canary !" "As Shakespeare knew so well" ""How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child. "" "Those two..." "I sense overwhelming power !" "I just need a little to live." "Help me." "Sure, pal." "You look like you can use a hand." "It's mutant energy." "No !" "Wolverine, you okay ?" " No !" " Dear Lord." "Uh-oh." "Free again !" "Sauron is reborn !" "Lay off, lizard lips !" "Rogue !" "Storm !" "We have a problem !" "I believe the appropriate aphorism is a blast from the past." "Holy cats !" "Beast wasn't kidding !" "Must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque." "That is the creature we encountered in the Savage Land." "Whoa !" "The weather witch !" "I summon the Arctic winds !" " What's the matter, bird-brain ?" " Look into my eyes, child." " Open your mind to me." " No !" "Resist his gaze, Rogue !" "That being calling out to you." "What do you see ?" "Do not let him control you !" "Wind !" "Rise up !" "Protect me !" "Storm !" "Watch it !" "You're stomping your own people !" "Monsters !" "Beware !" "Sauron has manipulated Rogue's mind." "She is not herself." "Thanks for the newsflash." " Look into my eyes, wind rider." " No !" "I shall not !" "You grow tired." " You must sleep." " No !" "Somebody stop bird-boy." "He's making off with Storm." "I suggest you pursue them, whilst I intercept our agitated colleague." "Sincerest apologies, Rogue." "But to employ a time-honored cliché, you'll thank me for this." "Where am I ?" "All right, flyboy," "I'm clipping your wings !" "Due south." "Give you one guess where he's heading." "I was unable to contact our compatriots on Muir Island." "Studying Jeannie like a lab rat." "Move it, kid !" "We ain't got all day." "Who died and made him Cyclops ?" "I had my fill of that Savage Land the first time around." "Well, next time Storm is kidnapped," "I'll make sure they take her someplace nice." "What is this treasure you bring ?" "You've done well, Sauron." "Deep within this weather witch lies untold power." "What do you mean ?" "One need only release her self-control, and boundless life energy will surge." "Energy to make you powerful beyond your darkest dreams." "A limitless source of mutant life energy." " Do you have the courage to try ?" " Step aside, woman." "Where am I ?" "Sauron !" "Do not resist me, weather witch." " No !" " The fury of the elements beats within your heart." "No !" "I cannot allow it !" "I must keep my emotions in check, lest my powers rage out of control." "Release the tempest within." "Set it free." "Free !" "Free !" "No !" "Is she..." "I am free !" "Now, Sauron !" "I've never felt such power !" "She shall sustain me forever !" "Are we really gonna see dinosaurs ?" "Dinosaurs are the easy part, so keep your guard up." " Who's the zit case ?" " That's Garokk." "Some goofy legend Ka-Zar told us about last time we were here." "His worshippers believed his soul inhabited the very soil of this land." "If you ask me, that's a good place to leave." "All right, people, eyes open, minds sharp." "My scanner is set to Storm's genetic frequency." " She is unquestionably nearby." " I'll take a look-see." " I'll take a "smell-see. "" " You picking up anything ?" "I'm getting a scent, but it sure ain't Storm." "What is it ?" "Your taste is excellent, but your manners are appalling." " Beast !" " Don't worry, darling." "Oh, dear." "No blue plate special today." "Beast !" "Deft maneuver, my dear." "This critter lust don't know when to quit !" "Quickly !" "Drive him toward the clearing !" "You heard the man, Barney." "Gross !" "That should hold him for a while." "Welcome, my friend." "What brings you back to my valley ?" "Long story." "Hey, guys !" "Aren't you forgetting something ?" "Yeah." "A babysitter." "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, thank you very much." "Help." "Can I please have a scorecard so I can tell the good extinct animals from the bad ones ?" "I didn't know your people went in for that Garokk stuff." "It started shortly after your first visit." "Sauron raised an army and captured many of my people." "He used them as slave labor to rebuild Sinister's fortress." "We mounted a rebellion, but my people were overmatched." "They had all but given up hope." "Then a strange thing happened." "One night, the statue appeared in our village." "No one knows where it came from or how it got there." "Though I was suspicious, to my people it was a sign." "They rallied, destroyed Sauron's army, and overthrew his tyranny." "They believe Garokk gave them the strength." " What do you believe ?" " I do not know." "My people are liberated." "I do not ask how." "It'll take more than an old hunk of rock to lick Sauron this time." "Not one word !" "It's bad enough I gotta smell like a driveway." "Come on, guys." "It's not that bad." " Shh." "They hear something." " Heads up, people." "Incoming !" "Buzz off, you buzzards !" " Beast, mix me up a Fastball Special." " Happy to oblige." "Thanks for the lift, bub." "To paraphrase Sir Isaac Newton, that which goes up must invariably come down." "So, anyone else want to wrestle ?" "I defeated you in your own land, mammal." "You have no chance in my domain." "You can't beat me if you can't catch me." "What's wrong, bird-boy ?" "Forget your overcoat ?" "Look into my eyes, child." "Oh, no." "You ain't pulling that trick twice." "Very well." "Getting weaker." "Must re-energize." "The only place you're going is down, bub !" "Pity you can't fly." "I sense a recurring motif." "Okay, Jubilee, you're the only one left." "No problem." "Chew on this !" "Wow !" "Impudent whelp !" "No !" "Not now !" "Your plan is reaching fruition, my lord." "Soon the Savage Land will be cleansed of all disbelievers, and the Age of Garokk will begin anew." "The time has come." "Release the weather witch." "Allow me to help you." "You are now free, weather witch." "You are no longer food for Sauron." "You can revel in the power of the elements !" "Garokk's will be done !" "So, what about that babysitter ?" "Wolverine, no !" "Karl ?" "Is it really you ?" " You know this creep ?" " I know him to be a good man." " I was." "Until Sauron took over." " But how ?" "Mr. Sinister used me as a guinea pig in his experiments." "Now I need to drain energy from innocent victims just to stay alive." "If I absorb it from a mutant," "I become the abomination you just defeated." "I have no control over him, but I must answer for his crimes." " I don't deserve to live." " Do not despair." "The X-Men have vast experience in studying human mutation." "Professor Xavier and I will combine our knowledge to aid you in your quandary." "Meantime, how about showing us where you got Storm hid ?" "On the other hand..." "It can't be."
