A giant awakens from underneath Blackhawk Island and makes its way to sea. The Blackhawks follow it and learn that he has been sent by the Taleekan tribe to fight a war against the Marnos, another tribe. Seeking to prevent the war, the Blackhawks plead with both tribes to stop fighting. Zinda finally persuades Tarn the giant to make peace, and his dying words bring peace to the tribes.
