In the center of the vast desert of Third Earth lay the Black Pyramid, base of the ancient warlord Mumm-Ra. Within the vast structure the dark lord stood before the Well of Souls, seemingly meditating before it as the eyes of the statues glowed. Quietly, Pumyra approached him. "Master," She spoke as she knelt before him, the ancient being not turning as he acknowledged her.

"What is it Pumyra?"

"Lord Mumm-Ra, we've received reports of some sort of anomaly in the north."

"Yes I am fully aware. Power such as this does not go unnoticed."

"Shall I have Slithe and the others move on it?"

"No! Simply have them secure the area. I have a specialist in mind for this operation. If there is a stone to be acquired he will retrieve it for me."

"Yes Lord Mumm-Ra." Pumyra arose and exited the chamber as the dark lord made his back to his sarcophagus.

Almost a world away, Slithe and his lizard army had secured the forest surrounding something that was a mix of both amazement and terror for the troops. A massive ball of light sat in a crater that had formed on it's appearance. "Keep your distance! Lord Mumm-Ra wants it untouched until he arrives." Slithe commanded as the troopers gazed at the sphere nervously.

"I don't think he needs to worry about us getting too close." One of them says as his compatriot swallows in a cold sweat.

"That's why I'm here." The lizards turned to a member of the dog race with orange fur and black horizontal stripes running down the back of his neck. He was decked out in black battle gear with numerous weapons strapped to his back. The lizards promptly trained their guns on him only for Slithe to push them away.

"Mumm-Ra informed us you'd be here, Demolisher, The most dangerous bounty hunter in all of Third Earth."

"All hail The Demolisher!" A small armadillo like being, wearing a blue tunic and red cape said as he beat a set of drums, marching ahead of the hunter.

"My men will show you the way." Slithe offered before being shoved aside by the dog.

"I think I can find my way." He said as he approached the bright orb.

Meanwhile

Elsewhere on the planet, the Thundercats, aboard the Feliner are on their ever pressing search for the final stone. "So do we actually have a clue to where the final stone is?" Tigra asked as he sat at the helm of the vessel.

"If the rumors we heard are true we might have luck in the east." Lion-o stated as he relaxed in his seat.

Cheetara responded as she sat back in her seat. "The good thing is if we don't know there's also a good chance Mumm-Ra doesn't know either."

A few moments later the Sword of Omens began to glow with a bright light as the entire crew took notice. "What is that Lion-O?" The twins asked as the Lord of the Thundercats pulled out the blade. A beam of light shot forth from the insignia and pointed westward as he held it up.

"What do you think it means?" Tigra inquired as he stared back at them.

"Haven't got a clue but the sword's pointing me in that direction."

"Could be the stone." Panthro stated.

"Only one way to find out. Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight." The blade glows as it gave Lion-O a vision of a far off marshland where a large orb of light sat in the center surrounded by the Lizard army. "Whatever it is it's big. And it's got the Lizard's attention."

"Should we change course?" Tigra asked. "I can have us spun around in two shakes of Snarf''s tail."

"No," Lion-O responded. "It could be the stone or it could be something else entirely. I won't know until I get there. I think it's best we split up for now. Keep your heading and I'll meet back with you guys when I can." The group agreed as Tigra set the ship down and Lion-O prepared to disembark.

"Lion-O wait," Wilykit called out as she ran behind Lion-O with her hover board. "Here, take my board."

"You sure Kit?"

"Were you honestly planning on hoofing it the whole way to the swamp?" She asked with a slightly raised eyebrow and a smirk on her face as Lion-O wore an embarrassed look.

"I guess I didn't think this through."

"Then it's a good thing I'm here to help," She handed him the board. "Just make sure you bring it back in one piece." He nodded in agreement before departing on the newly gifted board. "Be careful." She whispered as Wilykat stood behind her.

"Do you have a crush on Lion-O?" Her brother asked with a toothy smile as she jumped.

"What? No, of course not!" She protested heavily, a flash of red running across her face.

"You like Lion-O. You wanna marry him and become queen of the Thundercats." He teased as he danced around her. "I gotta tell Panthro."

"You better not!" She shouted as she chased him around the outside of the ship.

Elsewhere

"Come on I said I was sorry. Gosh!" A young human with large glasses said as he ran from a large blue blob creature. The young man, with blonde hair and wearing a burgundy and gold jumpsuit propelled himself into the air with a simple motion of his hands, putting distance between himself and his pursuer. The creature shot out a tentacle that wrapped around his leg and yanked, slamming him to the ground.

"Not so fast Hachi," A blast of fire hit the blob's tentacle, forcing it to release it's captive. "Now whatever reason you're upset I'm sure we can talk it out." A young, dark skinned woman said as she landed down between the two. "Now let's just talk rationally and we can work this out."

"Humans angered me with their blasting weapons." The creature said in a gargled voice.

"It's called a camera." The blonde said condescendingly as he sat up.

"Ryu, let mommy handle this. Now Hachi, I understand you don't like humans messing around in your home and I promise that I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you're not bothered again."

The creature waved a frustrated tentacle at her before turning away back to it's den. The woman then turned her attention back to her companion. "You alright Ryu?" She offered her hand to him as he got to his feet. "You know maybe tour guide isn't the right job for you."

"It would be if people would listen to the no flash photography rules. Idiots." Ryu dusted himself off before addressing his rescuer. "Thanks Korra."

"Anytime. Still I have to admit you've come a long way from that apathetic basement dweller I use to know."

"And you've come a long way from the hot-head that tried to drag me out of said basement." The young man retorted as Korra blushed slightly in embarrassment.

"Yeah well, whatever. We should be getting back anyway."

"I'm in no hurry," Ryu said with slumped shoulders. "My mom's waiting."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Ever since I joined the Air Nomads she's been gushing over it, coming to town every other week and doting on me. I'm glad I'm an airbender, because she's suffocating me."

Korra snickered at the last remark. "Good one," She said as she looked at his very serious face. "Oh, you weren't joking. Well my best advice is...well I don't really have any. My parents and I got along great."

"Gee, thanks." He said depressingly as the two turned to see a flash of light. A large sphere appeared not far from where the two stood as they looked up in awe. "That's...new."

"I'll say," From the sphere emerged a strange armadillo creature. "So is that."

"Make way for the Demolisher! Make way for the Demolisher! Make way for the Demolisher!" He shouted repeatedly as he banged on his drum.

"The Demolisher?" Korra chuckled as she approached him. "You sure you want to stick with that name?"

"It works fine for me," A voice said as a fist came through the orb, hitting Korra square in the face. The blow sends her back several feet as a dog like humanoid emerged. "Now explain to me what's going on or I'll show you how I earned that moniker."

"Don't resist the Demolisher! Don't resist the Demoli...oof!" The hunter smacked the small drummer out of his path.

"Silence Dirge!" He barked as Ryu jumped high into the air to defend Korra. "Ha, this should deal with that nuisance." He pulled out a triangular device from his belt and after taking quick aim squeezed the trigger that fired a whirling light. It wrapped around Ryu before solidifying into metal cables that bound him as he slammed into the ground.

"What is this?" He shouted as he attempted to free himself.

"The Coiler is all I needed to deal with you boy," Demolisher picked him up by the front of his suit. "Now tell me where to find the stone." Before words can be exchanged the bounty hunter is struck from the side by a a large boulder hurled by Korra. He only laughed as he regained his footing. "And I thought this would be a waste of my time. What's your name girl?"

"Avatar Korra, master of all four elements."

"Well Avatar Korra, give me a good fight and you'll have the honor of being the newest addition to my trophy room." He pulled out a tuning fork like device and jabbed it into the ground. Seconds later the earth beneath her feet began to shake as the device continued to vibrate. Using her earthbending, Korra pulled up the ground around her and lifted it into the air as she stood atop it, now free of the violent earthquake device.

Demolisher pressed a button on his left wrist and called the weapon back to him. Placing it back in his bandolier, he hit another button that activated the pack on his back as fire shot from the bottom and it propelled him into the air. "What are you?" Korra asked in shock of his strange devices.

"I am the greatest warrior in the galaxy!"

"Demolisher! Demolisher!" Dirge continued to chant.

Ryu, still locked in the Coiler, took in a deep breath and shot out a gust of air that knocked Dirge back into the sphere to wherever he came from. "Shut up already! Gosh!" He said as the Avatar and the self proclaimed greatest warrior continued to battle.
