Synopsis:
Travis Morgan is captured by a tribe of Mayans who have been living for centuries in Skartaris. They have recently reopened a tunnel to the surface world near Mexico City. They are planning an invasion using advanced technology. The Warlord rescues a prisoner whom the Mayans brought back from the surface world. They then escape through the tunnel using a flying sled.
Morgan drops off the captured tourist, but he is captured again. This time the CIA takes him prisoner as they believe him to be associated with the recent Mayan activity. When Morgan doesn't break questioning, they allow him to escape. He uses a fighter jet to defeat the Mayan attack force.
After the Mayan's are defeated, Morgan's co-pilot, the CIA operative Caroline reveals herself to be a double agent working for the Russians. She tries to capture him again, but Morgan ejects her from the plane. He then returns to Skartaris on one of the flying sleds. After the incident concludes, the CIA operative named Redmond vows to find Morgan.
