"Megattack" is the 13th episode of the first season of The Dreamstone (and the 13th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 18th of December 1990.

Original


Zordrak prepares to unleash the full force of his Urpney hordes and Argorribles on the Land of Dreams in an attempt to destroy the Dream Stone, with Urpgor converting Zordrak's throne into a flying machine so that he can also travel to the Land of Dreams. Meanwhile the unaware Noops are admiring the Wut Flying Squads feats, with Amberley eagerly awaiting flying lessons.

Sgt Blob and his men are sent ahead to act as a diversion for the invasion, ultimately deciding to kidnap Amberley, who bumps into them after a failed stunt on her leaf. Blob uses a Wut globe to request a ransom for the Dream Stone in return for her safety, however the heroes are unwilling to cave in to Zordrak and confront the Urpneys. The trio are spared a beating at the last second as Zordrak and his army reveal themselves however.

The Urpney army and the Argorribles are quick taken out by the Wuts' magic, brainwashing them to be docile and friendly, while Urpgor's ship loses control and flies into the distance. Zordrak is still vehement on challenging the Dream Maker, but is confronted by the Planet Dreamstone, in which with the help of Rufus and Amberley by unplugging his throne's power supply, sent Zordrak into space. Blob, Frizz and Nug, who survived the defeat, arrive in Viltheed in time for Urpgor to crash land.

"I wish someone was here, I wouldn't even mind if it was... Urpgor!"
