One of the sillier looking threats Tara and Morgan faced on their quest
was an artificial moon inhabited by aliens. To be more specific it was
inhabited by Alien/Skartarisian hybrids as the aliens had been forced to use
human mates to perpetuate their dying race. They offered the dubious honour
of becoming part of the breeding program to Tara and Morgan but they
declined. However some people can't take "NO!" for an answer.
All of which goes to show it's not a good idea to underestimate Tara. Or
take her for granted as Morgan would learn sometime later. At any rate the
moon ship blew up (though about 30 issues it would turn out Skartaris had a
real moon after all) but Tara and Morgan escaped. However it turned out to
be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire when they crashlanded in bad
company.
It turned out that the absent leaders of the gang were Morgan's old
travelling companions Machiste and Mariah. They fished Tara and Morgan out
of the bear pit when they returned and joined him on the quest to kill Deimos
again. But things didn't quite work out for them.
Unknown to our heroes Deimos had created a clone of Joshua which he
intended to use as a bargaining chip if his plans failed. He would kill the
real Joshua then offer the clone in exchange for safe passage having the last
laugh as only he would know it wasn't their real son. However Ashiya switched
the kids and it was the clone that Deimos aged to manhood then sent to kill
Morgan. Morgan shot the clone leaving everyone (except Ashiya) convinced that
Morgan had indeed killed his own son. Ironically Morgan and Tara would meet
their son again but none of the three would know he was their heir.
Turning back the clock the griefstricken Morgan headed off on his own to
mourn in solitude leaving Tara behind with Mariah and Machiste. A pretty
rotten thing to do but the Warlord was always presented as a flawed hero. It
would be some time before Morgan and Tara met again during which time he would
meet and be travelling with his companion Shakira when they were reunited.
This caused some friction as did the fact that Shamballah's Council of Elders
was forcing Tara to marry Morgan's friend King Aram Al Ashir.
