U Best quadrant.

Ranger, proceed with caution.

Our contact negative.

Crystal field interference.

We're wasting our time.

Patience, I'll bet the last owners didn't come half this far in the mine.

There's a good reason for that.

No crystals.

I don't know, I've got a feelin'.

You've always got a feeling.

Treaty or not, I don't like being in Nomad territory.

They don't like trespassers.

Never even know we were here.

Anyway, our tracks are covered.

Oh, Father...

You better have a look at this.

I don't believe it!

Dhyana, we're rich!

You didn't trust me, did ya?

Come on, let's go look at it in the light.

You said this old mine was played out.

What was that?

I didn't hear anything.

Get back in the mine.

- Father, what is it? - Do as I say and don't come out.

Alx, get me that.

The law says you must die.

I meant no harm.

That's my father, now who are you?

Easy.

My name's Dogen.

I'm a Ranger. Finder class.

I don't believe you.

You've been isolated. You haven't heard.

Heard what?

Treaty's been broken.

There's a mad man named Jared-Syn who's

been inciting the Nomads.

There's Holy War again.

This whole crystal mine's in forbidden territory.

Did you see who did this?

We were prospecting.

I hid in the mine.

Did you see who did it?

Keep away!

A man with a metal arm.

Baal.

Jared-Syn's son.

Look,

I hunt Jared-Syn.

I'm on your side.

Now, why don't you put that down?

Do you know this emblem?

No, but the man we buy our equipment from,

he should know.

Can you take me there?

There's nothing left for me here.

Damn him.

I told him we shouldn't have come this far.

I'm sorry.

Your father must have been quite a man.

Work for months and come up with nothing.

He would mine for a day, make a fortune.

He was a dreamer.

And I loved him.

Look, I know how you feel.

We should be going.

There could still be trouble here.

Not yet.

I want my father's killer.

I promise you,

I'll find Jared-Syn.

I feel a presence.

Someone comes to challenge us.

With this weapon,

we have the power to steal life.

No one can stop me now.

I do this for you, my brothers.

Follow in the footsteps of Baal, my son,

and draw the power we need to recapture our desecrated land.

I don't know, I've worked these rocks 20 years.

Never seen a crystal like this before.

Too heavy for a power cell.

Too hot.

Feels like it's alive.

Could be a hard drive.

Nah, nah,

too small.

Any ideas?

What's your hurry?

No place to spend your money around here.

We'll check it out now.

Move away. Move away.

Alright, we'll try this.

Ah, that's not it.

I should have known.

It's a storage crystal.

Storage of what?

Life force.

Where did you get this?

What's that emblem?

It's an old one.

Not seen much anymore.

The emblem of Set, A Lost City.

In the desert, my father used to tell me stories about it.

And a magic mask.

Some say they really exist.

I know, I've looked myself.

Can you take me there?

Can you take us there?

You're staying.

It's against the law to enter Cyclopian territory.

Even for a Finder.

I'm looking for a renegade named Jared-Syn, a Highborn.

If he's the man they say he is, he knows you're coming.

Can't you take me to Syn?

I'm not a tour guide!

I've got a business to run.

Ah, well, there is a man who can take you there.

Well, who's this man?

His name is Rhodes.

He was once a Finder, oh, long ago.

Lives in Zoar, one of those overnight crystal mining towns.

East.

Can I leave the girl here?

Hmm, you can try, but I was married

to a stubborn woman once.

She ran off and took half my crystals.

Are you stubborn?

Try me.

Welcome, warrior.

Welcome to your death.

Together, you're strong.

But I'll separate you, and I'll destroy you both.

Hello.

Hello.

Is that all you can say?

I've been holding you for hours.

I wish I'd been awake to enjoy it.

What happened?

I don't know.

But from now on, we have to stay together.

Dhyana?

Dhyana!

You're much weaker than the warrior,

but without you, he's nothing.

You're right to be afraid.

The life force of countless souls.

Like my father?

Yes.

His energy is trapped in there with the others, waiting.

Waiting?

Waiting to destroy those who oppose me,

oppose my brothers.

Who's to stop me now?

Not your Ranger.

Even now, my son hunts him.

Go with power, Baal.

I am with you.

Show the warrior.

I will not fail you father.

- What do you do mister? - I'm a Ranger.

Let's go.

Annie.

Annie.

Well, if it ain't my old friend, Dogen.

Ain't seen your pretty face in a long time.

I've been busy.

Busy?

Don't make me laugh.

Try runnin' a bar sometime.

Annie, I need your help.

I'm lookin' for a man named Rhodes. Do ya know him?

Yeah, what's he done?

It's not what what he did, it's what he knows.

It's gonna cost ya.

Come on, Dogen. If it's Rhodes ya want, pay up.

That's it, he's right over there.

Gimme the bottle.

You Rhodes?

Well, look here.

A Finder.

You're a long way from home, aren't ya?

Heard you were a Finder, too.

So what?

I was also a soldier, twice.

First a mine guard, prospector, bartender.

Damn drinker.

Looks like you found your calling.

You came a long way from somewhere to give me a hard time.

I need a guide to the Lost City.

Heard you're the man.

Out of the question.

Besides, the Lost City doesn't exist.

Tried to find it a dozen times.

Zax says it exists.

Zax, huh? That crazy old bastard?

I'm looking for Jared-Syn.

Do you know what you're asking?

He's the one that's screwin' up the One Eyes.

Hell, he's got half this quadrant in arms.

Sorry pal, treasure huntin's one thing, gettin' killed's another.

Zax said you'd help me.

Zax's crazy.

So are you.

You're gonna be trouble.

Must've fought in the Sand Wars.

Yeah, so what?

Guess that's when they stopped issuing those uniforms.

Trouble, all right.

What's that?

It says, you go past that point and you die."

Cyclopian burial grounds.

Then the Lost City's ahead.

I said I'd bring ya, my job is over.

We're gonna have to go on foot.

This was never here before.

It is now.

Dogen!

Give me your rifle!

Hold on!

- Halt! - Oh!

The two of you took this?

He took it.

Then he lives, you do not.

My companion is modest.

We both took it.

Having come this far, you are a proven warrior.

But, for being found on our land, you must die.

That is our law.

Hold it.

A warrior must also be given the chance to take the challenge.

That is also the law, yes?

You would do well to travel with a less talkative companion.

You must meet me in the pit.

If you live, you will go free.

No problem.

You can take 'em.

You are an honorable man,

and you are free.

Both of you.

I've come to a final battle for this land.

I'm called to War Council by a powerful chief.

Jared-Syn.

We seek the same man for different reasons.

We cannot travel the same road,

but you will find him in those mountains.

I pray we never meet on the same battlefield.

I pray exactly the same.

Believe me, I do, I, exactly.

Your friend still wastes words.

Go in peace.

I'm gettin' too old for this stuff.

We're never gonna find Jared-Syn in these rocks.

That's fine by me.

We'll find 'em.

Your death is near, warrior.

Rhodes!

Rhodes!

Rhodes.

You don't have to shout.

I'm sorry I got you into all this.

Don't worry about me.

Do what ya gotta do, Ranger.

I'll be back for ya.

He is stronger than we thought.

I saw through your eyes.

He will find us, father.

He is coming for us.

I'm waiting.

I have something he's after.

It's you he's after, not me.

Kill her now!

Later.

Murderer.

You hear that? The Council's begun.

Soon those fools will make me king.

Tap into the Master Crystal and release the magic power of Set.

You, and that fool who comes for you,

will be my last sacrifice to the crystal.

Bring the girl.

You see, the small crystal feeds the larger.

Our time has come.

We'll be kings of our land again,

forever!

We've been waiting for you.

You're dead, warrior.

Wait, this man is my friend.

Hurok, this man is your enemy.

He alone stands between us and the land.

He comes to stop us.

He lies.

I come only for him.

He's using you.

He's the one that wants all the power and the land.

All of you will be his slaves.

Destroy him, Hurok.

- Do as I say! - No!

Let him speak.

He's the one that's responsible for all of these massacres.

He steals your land.

He causes you pain.

Let him babble.

I alone am your master.

You, my master?

The warrior speaks the truth.

Jared-Syn is a false chief!

You're all too late!

I have the magic of the crystal!

It is the sign!

The burning tree,

you cannot win.

Death is calling.

Surely, you must hear it.

I am with you, Dogen.

I am here.

Dark Lords of Set, open the way, open the way!

Syn escaped.

He tapped into the Master Crystal.

Created some sort of an energy tunnel.

He's gone.

Then, Jared-Syn could emerge in another world, another time.

Wherever he is, he'll be trapped.

I'm going after him.

Well now, I can see why you were so hot to find Jared-Syn's camp.

Hop in Princess, we're goin' to town.
