Apocalypse

Chapter 1
Thunder boomed and lightening cracked across the sky, waking Mumm-Ra from his eternal slumber. He exited his sarcophagus and headed for his bubbling cauldron. It was time to call his assassin to duty. News had spread of Solis and his treachery despite the ThunderCats' best efforts to keep it under wraps. With his loss of the Wollo leader, Mumm-Ra knew that now was the time to act. Standing at the edge of the cauldron he opened the dimensional rift and brought forth his assassin.
"Mumm-Ra San why have you called me forth?" The Ninja asked.
"I need you to kill someone. Are you up for the challenge Nagasaki?" The bundle of bones inquired.
"I do what my master bids." The leader of the Ninjas bowed.
"Excellent. Kill Lord Lion-O of the ThunderCats. You shall be handsomely rewarded." Mumm-Ra pointed to a pile of gold on the floor some twenty feet away. The Ninja bowed one more time before Mumm-Ra transported him out of the onyx pyramid to a location near Cat's Lair.
"It's a good day for evil." The ever-living source of evil smirked as he headed back to his sarcophagus. Once Lion-O was out of the way, he would give the Mutants a call.
"Calling Mandora Evil Chaser. Come in Evil Chaser, this is New Thundera over." Panthro had gotten the communications system back online while the ThunderGuard repaired the gun turret and surrounding electronics.
"This is Mandora, New Thundera. I read you." The crusty old space cop answered as her picture popped up on the screen.
"We need your assistance. How far away from Cat's Lair are you?" Panthro wanted to know.
"I'm leaving Space Base six. I could be there in four hours." Mandora replied.
"Excellent. We'll see you then. New Thundera out." The panther cut the connection and headed to find Lion-O.
He found the Lord of the ThunderCats helping the ThunderGuard move a large piece of limestone to fix the gun turret. Once it was in place the martial arts master pulled him aside.
"Mandora will be here in four hours." Panthro said.
"Good. Get Nayda, Hoheem, and Lavi here, along with the clan leaders from the villages. This is going to take an entire planet to come together." The lion gave his friend a nod.
"I'm on it." The panther gave a smile and headed back down the hall. Lion-O heaved a sigh before turning around to help the ThunderGuard. The Lair would have to be in the best shape possible should an invasion occur. It was then that the Sword of Omens roared.
"Danger!" Quickly Lion-O pulled the Sword from the Claw Shield and put the hilt up to his face.
"Sword of Omens give me Sight Beyond Sight!" He ordered. The picture was that of Hachiman, his loyal samurai friend.
"Lion-O San you must bring me to your dimension. I feel a disturbance." With that the image vanished. Quickly, the Lord of the ThunderCats went to the COM on the wall and made a Lair-wide announcement.
"All ThunderCats to the Heritage Room!" They were going to need the Book of Omens to help bring Hachiman to their dimension and it only made him wonder what the samurai was feeling.
