44m - Sep 7, 2024 - Time Barbarians: July 1980
The clash of metal rang out as T-Bone's axe met the stranger's blade, a hidden sword now gleaming in the moonlight. Sparks flew, illuminating the fierce determination and sweat beaded in T-Bone's eyes. Ty Fighter circled around, seeking an opening, his scimitar trained on the enemy. Fissure Floodplain, Kutchek number two henchman, moved with a fluidity that spoke of years of combat, his every motion calculated and deadly. As the two warriors fought with primal fury, the Floodplain’s laughter cut through the chaos, a chilling reminder of their peril.
In the midst of the fray, a deafening roar erupted from the darkness beyond. The ground trembled beneath their feet as a massive, armored vehicle, bristling with weapons and adorned with grotesque trophies, thundered into view. Kutcheck’s war machine, a behemoth that had laid waste to countless challengers, bore down upon them. Floodplain leapt back, his face twisting into a mocking sneer. "You fight well, but this is where your legend ends," he spat, retreating to the shadows. T-Bone and Ty Fighter turned to face the oncoming juggernaut, their hearts pounding. As the war machine's cannons locked onto them, the roar of its engines drowned out all other sound, leaving the two barbarians staring down their doom with unyielding resolve. Find out what high adventure awaits in this episode of Time barbarians of the 1980s IN Time!
