Synopsis:
Warlord and Tara continue their search for their son Joshua using flying sleds taken from the alien spaceship. Deimos observes them from afar using a magic crystal. He sends a storm to disrupt their search. Tara's sled is struck by lightning, forcing her to crash.

When Morgan puts down his own sled nearby, he comes to Tara's aid as she is surrounded by a barbarian band led by Torgash. Morgan cuts off the hand of the savage leader and holds his own against multiple opponents until a explosion in the sled's fuel tanks knocks him off his feet.

Morgan and Tara are taken back to the barbarian camp as prisoners. Torgash plans to throw them both into a bear pit. Morgan briefly escapes and grapples with one Torgash's men. They both fall into the pit. While Morgan uses the man to occupy the bears, Tara is thrown into the pit behind him.

Eventually Morgan is forced to fight the bear. He makes a valiant stand, but he is losing the battle. Then, a spear hits the bear in the back. Morgan and Tara are pulled out of the pit by Machiste and Mariah. Machiste explains that the barbarians are his men. With peace established, Morgan has one more thing to do, punch Torgash.
