Even the strongest of minds break down eventually, though, and Alex is hardly the strongest. It's only when he remembers that his Girlfriend, Mandy, is probably in danger thanks to him, that he pulls himself together and prepares to face the Archean head on. Little does he know that the very magicians that helped him on Earth have sent the deadly RAKSHASA to watch over her.
