Synopsis:
The Warlord and Shakira head for the coast to meet Captain Hawk who is delivering a cargo of freed slaves. They find a group of Vashek assassins waiting for them. Morgan and his companion escape into the jungle where they run into Captain Hawk. The assassins are still on their trail.
Morgan, Shakira, Hawk, and his crew swim for safety only to be attacked by a giant sea creature. Hawk's crew are all killed but the others reach a small barge owned by Princess Hooranami. When she object to their presence, the visitors take over the barge and land on a nearby island.
When they are safely in the jungle, the group makes camp. However, the assassins have continued their pursuit. Hawk drugged Morgan and left camp with the princess. Morgan and Shakira must then make their escape alone.
