Synopsis:
Travis Morgan and his companions finally reach Shamballah. As they approach the cities they are met by refugees fleeing the city which is said to be infested with a demon. The Warlord runs into the city and finds Tara. She is both happy to see him and angry that they were separated so long. When Tara expresses her angry, Mariah leaps to Morgan's defense and a fight between the women ensues. After Morgan breaks up the fight Mariah runs off, followed by Machiste. Only then does Travis Morgan realize that his Russian companion had fallen in love with him.
Tara takes Morgan into another chamber to introduce him to his son whom they name Joshua. Morgan had not even known that Tara was pregnant when they were separated. Next Morgan is forced to deal with the demon which threatens the city. He finds a path leading to an underground chamber housing an enormous Atlantean computer. The machine intelligence is sentient and gone mad from years of disuse. Morgan repositions the mirrors which focus sunlight into the chamber for power. In doing so, he focuses a laser which cuts into a nearby riverbed. The river floods the computer chamber which destroys the mad computer.
When Morgan and Tara return to the surface they discover that Joshua has been abducted by the reborn sorcerer, Deimos.
