The Merlins 'n the Aswad Bahadur — Branton K. Holmberg

Foul Manchu was seekin to put a stop to us fer what we'd done to that first bunch of dark force warriors of his callin themselves the Revengers. He was lookin fer more evil doers to pit against us. He found them in hurry. It was a bunch Arabs we'd put in prison in Jerusalem when we were lookin fer the Ark of the Covenant. We'd crippled three of them to where they were needin help to stay alive. Those that weren't crippled were out fer our blood. They'd found three more skunks to replace those we'd crippled and now they were just what Foul was lookin fer. He was givin them powers he'd given the Revengers, and they were takin over countries in the middle-east while outsmartin us left and right. They swiped some of King John's treasures we'd found, and I was boilin mad about it I'll tell ya. Merlin warned us Foul might give them powers greater than those we had. He told us to get back to Planet X, or Planet Mugo, to see if we could find powers we could use against those Arabs callin themselves the Aswad Bahadur. That's what we did and it'll knock yer socks off to discover what we found.
