Zealot #2 is an issue of the series Zealot (Volume 1) with a cover date of October, 1995.
Synopsis for the 1st Story
In feudal Japan, a group of samurai chase down and capture Savant for stealing a statue. At a monastery, Zealot is sparring with her lover, Taisho, and their sensei when a messenger arrives to inform her that the Masked Warlord holds Savant captive. He insists that Zealot, known in Japan as the White Ghost, come face him alone, or he will kill Savant. Zealot refuses help from Taisho and their sensei, dons her samurai armor, and rides away. Millennia earlier, as the Kherubim ship crashed to Earth, Promethos held Savant hostage, demanding Zannah let him escape in exchange for Savant's life. Back in Japan, Zealot fights through the warlord's men and frees Savant. The Masked Warlord enters and reveals himself as Prometheus. He promises to let Savant ago in exchange for Zealot becoming his slave. She refuses, and they fight until Taisho arrives and spears Prometheus from behind. In retaliation, Prometheus murders him. Zealot and Savant escape by jumping off a cliff into the ocean, and Prometheus vows revenge.
