Synopsis:
The Warlord, aboard the ship Wind Shadow, emerges from the tunnel to New Atlantis in the midst of a sea battle. He and his friends capture an enemy ship and free the slaves held in the hold below. Another ship then demands their surrender.

The new ship is captained by Hawk, the dread pirate. Morgan boards his ship and offers to pay the pirate to raid ships from New Atlantis. Hawk agrees, but his men kidnap Tara to seal the bargain. The Warlord goes after her and rescues her from Hawk's ship.
