Ever heard of the Fiery Dragon? It was a pirate ship commanded by Billy One-Hand who was one of Captain Kidd's captains. Legend says it and Captain Kidd's ship the Adventure Galley were sunk near Ile Ste. Marie, a corral ringed island off the coast of Madagascar. The locals were callin the island Pirate Island because the same legends were sayin 22 pirate captains buried their ill gotten gains on the island. The master-mind of where the treasures were hid was Le Buze, the Buzzard. As near as we could tell, he'd helped the pirate captains hide their loot. Now that's a whole bunch of treasures...

The Flor De La Mar held the greatest amount of treasure ever put onta a ship. I sure don't know what they were thinkin when they did it. To top it off they set sail at the worst possible time and wound up shipwrecked in Sumatra. Now that we had aquatic powers, Sam was itchin to look fer it. First though we have to fight our way through the Wild Bunch. They're a notorious bunch of train robbers, and all around no goods, famous fer robbin ya blind. They knew our Pirate Island treasures would make them richer than old King Midas if they could get them, and they knew it would have to be over our...

As ya might guess these powers of ours was lettin us explore things we never believed possible. They was also lettin us create things we never thought possible. We had our hands full in this adventure tryin 't get all the treasures we'd accumulated 't where they would do all the folks we was wantin 't help the most good. I'm gonna pat us Merlins on the back fer how we handled things. Once we got that done we was on our way 't Tikal 't look for Mayan treasures. As ya might guess we used our teleportin power 't get us there. What happened after we got there took us on our most amazin adventure...

Ever wondered what it was like 't travel 't another planet? We had no idea whether we could do it 'r not but got the crazy notion we was gonna try. It all came bout cause of that ship's log Avatar gave us when we left him 'n the other Xlins 't come back 't our own time. We was told it had the coordinates of Planet X in it. Now ya know Sam's got a curiosity that's unstoppable 'n that Planet X had us all wantin 't try gettin there. Wal now, ya ain't gonna believe how we done it. We not only got there, we took Avatar 'n his bunch with us. Now I'll tell ya right off, Planet X is near as ugly as a...

The age old mystery of the continent of Atlantis. It popped up on us when Sam was goin through some of the Xlin ship's logs. He discovered an Xlin exploration ship had recorded in another ship's log they was crash landin on Earth. Now ya know Sam 'n the rest of us Merlins couldn't pass up a mystery like that especially when that was a lot earlier landin than the Tikal Xlins had made. Its a good thing we had them aquatic powers of ours cause from all we could find the durn continent had sunk. We spent months huntin fer it in the Atlantic ocean. I'm tell ya right here 'n now, that's a mighty...

When Sam was doin research inta them Xlin ship's logs he found somethin awful surprisin. The Xlins had found ancient tablets sayin there was giants here on Earth. Now ya know that got our minds racin wonderin what that was all bout. Specially since them tables was fourteen thousand years old. We used our dimension portals 't take us back t' around the time them tablets was made. What we found shore wasn't what we was lookin fer. Sam knew right away we needed 't move forward in time some 'n that's what we done. This time we landed right smack in the middle of giants. They was somethin 't...

Ya know we're in a heap of trouble don't ya? Well at least I'm in a heap of trouble. In our last adventure them blackguards we thought we was rid of ferever escaped from the prison we stuck 'em in over there in China. They was on the loose now 'n callin themselves the Revengers. There was eight of 'em 'n they had the power of the dark force behind through the spirit of Foul Manchu the worst ancient criminal China had ever known. As far as we could tell he was givin the Revengers powers equal 't ours, power fer power. How does that grab ya? It was grabbin us by our throats. We knew the...

The Revengers was out 't get our treasures 'n make our lives as miserable as ya can possibly imagine. They was bent on takin over the world 't boot. They wasn't pullin any punches. What was really troublin us was Foul Manchu was givin 'em ever power we had 'n they was learnin how 't use 'em awful fast. We had an edge on 'em though cause they din't know bout the powers the extra-terrestrials had given us. The battles between us was gettin nasty. They snuck inta our bank vault there in Santa Fe 'n emptied it quick as a wink on us. That threw us inta a panic. We knew we had 't get the rest of...
