Story

After the heroes smash his latest weapon, Morden gets unexpected aid from futuristic soldiers who step through a time portal. The heroes destroy the portal, cutting off the Rebel Army's supplies. Morden flees in a giant mechanical Kraken above a lake of molten lava. Following a tough fight, Morden is beaten and his weapon sinks into the lava.
