Synopsis:
Travis Morgan and Shakira make their way to the southern coast of Australia where they find a causeway leading the Antarctica. When Morgan tries to buy passage to Skartaris, a shopkeeper reports him to security. Morgan flees and with Shakira's help they steal a flying car from a security team. They are pursued and shot down, but not before making it through the southern opening to Skartaris.

Morgan is wounded by the security forces, but Shakira helps to get him to safety. She finds a medic to help treat his wounds. Morgan then begins making inquiries about Castle Deimos. The castle has been made a troop outpost, but many of the artifacts have been moved to a local bar.

In the Castle Deimos bar, Morgan is recognized as a fugitive. As the patrons try to hold him for security, Shakira spots the magic mirror which transported them to the future. They both jump through the mirror and return to their own time in the real Castle Deimos where Jennifer is waiting.
