PROLOUGE

Virgil raced into his study room, He glanced at the old Lemurian parchment, upon which ancient scriptures had been written.

"Oh, Dear," The Lemurian frowned. "There is no mistake! Yes, it appears as if Destiny is not yet done with us..."Hurriedly, Virgil raced into Norman's room. The roan-haired warrior slept, but was quickly roused by Virgil's anxious voice.

"Norman, we are in trouble!"
"Virgil, what do you mean?"
"He's back...He is far stronger this time! We must seek out the Mighty One at once!"
Norman looked at Virgil in confusion. "Find Max? It's been eight years since we last saw each other! What could possibly demand that we reunite now, of all times?!" Virgil sighed. "Skullmaster. He has been revived! He wishes to gain vengeance on the Mighty One!"

"WHAT?! How did he get revived?! Who revived him?"
"Warmonger...Apparently, some pages of the Lemirian Arcana had been kept, and I failed to realize it, until now! I'm such a fool! In those papers lies the means to resurrect a soul, back to it's body! Skullmaster is back, and we MUST seal him away this time! For good!"

Norman's face grew determined. "Then let's go, Virgil, we have no time to waste...!" The Guardian rose to his feet, and grabbed his sword from it's resting place on the wall behind him. "I wish Max could just be allowed a normal life...after all we have been through, to think it is all going to begin again!" Virgil sighed. "Indeed. Let us be off!"

Norman nodded, and followed Virgil. Destiny was calling...

Max sighed. College. So, Felix had insisted that going to Washinton state was great. Ha. Max sighed. Classess, classes, classes. Why had he even applied? High school had been bad enough. And he had WILLINGLY applied to a university that flooded him with homework. Apparently the concept of free time was void in the minds of his professors. Oh well, he thought, at least I'm not battling demons!
It had been eight years since Skullmaster had been defeated, and that had left Max to sit on his laurels. He'd since gradusted high school and gone onto Washington State University. "Still no girlfriend though, " he mused. Then again, the thought of dating Bea had crossed his mind a few times. Hey, she WAS pretty cute!

Max looked down at the pile of work on his desk with disdain. "I seriously need a vacation!"

His wish was about to be answered.

A flash of light burst from his dorm window. After the light had dimmed, his jaw dropped, seeing Virgil and Norman standing before him.
"V-Virg? Norm?! What are you doing here?"

Virgil bowed respectfully. "Mighty One, it has been so long since I have seen you last..the world needs your aid once more!"

"WHAT? But I...I thought my Evil-Fighting days were over! Why do you need me now?"

"To put it simply, Mighty One, SkullMaster has been revived by Warmonger. He is now far more powerful than ever, and he seeks vengeance on you, and seeks your cap once again!" Max blanched. "You have got to be kidding!" Vigil shook his head. "Mighty One, I would never jest about something so serious! Please, you know full well that this is your destiny!"

Max sighed. That much was true. And, hadn't he said that he was needing a vacation? He stood up, accepting his fate. "Ok, I'll go, I'll go. But where to?"

"To the last place where Skullmaster was when you fought him...Stonehenge."

The figure of a slim young girl was seen darting on the moors near Stonehenge. The girl crept closer to the mystical monument, her hand tightly gripping the sword she wore around her waist. In the sunlight, her wavy, shoulder-length auburn-red hair glinted, and her russet eyes blazed with determination,
She bowed her head. "Father. I will avenge you. With the aid of the Mighty One, or not. I swear on my life..I WILL kill Skullmaster...!"

CHAPTER ONE

"So this is it, Virg?"
"Yes, Mighty One! However," Virgil scanned the area, which seemed unoccupied except for the three of them, "I don't see anything out of the ordinary..."

Max shrugged. "So is this a false alarm?"

He had spoken too soon.
Beneath his feet, the ground began to rumble. "Earthquake!"

"Oh Dear! I feel that our enemy approaches!" Virgil lost his footuing and fell to the ground. Norman unsheathed his sword and attempted to turn to face the attacker, but he was a momment too slow. A monsterous looking demon lept at him, and pushed Norman to the ground. It was a big demon, sharp fangs and claws, and blood red glowing eyes. It was a strong demon, too, as it was giving Norman a run for his money!

Max raced over to help, but the creature slashed at him, and he also fell back, scratched badly and bleeding. He looked at Norman in despair...Norman was the Guardian, muscular, strong, and battle-worn. How coulsd he be defeated so easily? For once in his life, Max felt helpless. He and Virgil were no match against this demon, and even the strongest of the three had fallen...! What now?

The flash of a blade swiftly flew by Norman's head, skillfully slicing off the demon's head. Norman pulled away sucessfully from the decapitated foe, and turned in a defensive stance. Max and Virgil raced to his side. They all turned to see their savior.

There she stood, a beautiful young woman, with hair the burning red of a sunset and dark, piercing chocolate-brown eyes. She wore battle armor of gold and black leather, and her shapley, toned body gratfied both Max and Norman.

The young woman smiled. She looked to the trio. "It seems you weren't prepared, my friends. Fourtunately, I was nearby!"

Virgil gasped. "It..it's you?!"
He walked over to the woman and fell to his knees. "Y..Your Majesty! You have come, just as the scrolls indicated!"

Max gaped. "You're royalty? Virgil, who is she? What's going on?!"

Virgil smiled. "This, Mighty One, is the princess of Atlantis..."

"WHAT?!"

"Indeed. Long ago, when Skullmaster destroyed Atlantis, she escaped and swore vengeance upon him, for slaying her father and trapping her people's souls in the Crystal of Souls!"

"Indeed," the warrior woman replied. "I am honored and pleased to have found you, Mighty One." She placed her hand on Virgil's bowed head. "You may rise. And there is no need of formalities. My kingdom is lost. I'm princess of nothing now."

Virgil sputtered, "You are still a princess in my eyes, Milady. Remeber, I served your father as Advisor for a time! You are still of high station in my eyes!"

"As you wish, then you may address me with my title. However, seeing that I was destined to join you and the Mighty One, it would feel a bit awkward. I never was one for pomp and circumstance."

Max interceeded at this point. "You're supposed to join us?" Virgil nodded. "Yes, her Majesty was written in the scrolls. She seeks vengance alongside you, and has similar goals to you-the destruction of Skullmaster and the Crystal of Souls."

"Uh...ok..."
"Oh! I think I forgot to tell you the name with which you may address me, Mighty One! I am Salustra Nike 0f the Royal House of Atlan. As I said, however, you may simply use informalites and call me Salustra I also go by "Sally Atlan", when I am dressed as a civilian. "

Norman gazed at the lovely warrior. She was beautiful, and obviously skilled with the sword, a kindred spirit. And she had captivated him. She would be a wonderful teammate, he told himself. Perhaps, something more than that, even...!
He shook the thought out of his head. She was not here for pleasure, oh no. She had a mission as much as he did. Yet still, her fiery hair, her dark, mysterious eyes, her toned, muscular body...

He reprimanded himself. He had only met this girl, why was he feekling so drawn to her? Even when he had been around Mujaji, he had never felt this kind of intense attraction...why?! He stood up and walked over to her. She projected the air of royatly, that was no doubt, and he could tell why Virgil had felt the need to bow to her. So he did.

"Forgive me, Lady, for being formal against your wishes. I am Norman, the Guardian of the Mighty One, and I would be honored to fight alongside you." He took her hand and respectfully lifted it to his lips in a kiss. Then he turned her hand over kissing the palm, in a manner less proper. Salustra blushed.

She pulled her hand from his grasp, obviously shaken by this, and frowned. "Please, Norman, do not mock me and remind me of my birthright. It is not something I wish to remember. And also, I barely know you,. Do not make attempts at winning me over! I am a free spirit, and no man may have me, lest they prove themselves worthy!"

Dejected, Norman bowed his heasd. He vowed, however that he would do whatever it took to prove himself worthy in her eyes, for she had a hjold on him that no woman had ever made him feel. Yes, he was a fighter, but this time, it would not be a fight in physical combast, but one of the heart...!

max sighed. "Look, what next? Do we just stay here all day?"

"Perhaps we ought to relocate. Skullmaster had his demon attack you, and you were not well prepared. I suggest we regroup back at my place, and strategize?"

"Your place? Where's that?"

"I've a rented apartment, Mighty One. "

"Ok."

Virgil resumed. Very well, let us go there, then." The group quickly agreed and set off for Salustra's abode.

*******

Skullmaster gazed into his Crystal. He had seen all that transpired. So, the lovely Salustra had appeared after so long. He had always desired her for his Queen, but she resisted him, of coruse, since he had slain her father. But he was determined now, more than he ever had been. Since the time she was with the First Capbearer, Maximus, and he had been defeated, he vowed that she would be his. And so would his vengeance on the Capbearer.

He smiled wickedly, exposing glinting sharp fangs. Oh yes, she would be his. So would vengance, and after that, the world...!
