Chapter 1
Vultureman made a new invention. "Perfect," Vultureman said.
"So what does this little doohickey do?" Slithe asked.
"It turns adults into babies." Vultureman said.
"Into babies?" Jackalman asked.
"Yes, babies," Vultureman said. "If we use it on the the Thundercats they will become helpless infants." he said.
"Can it work the other way around?" Monkian asked.
"Yes, it can turn babies into adults." Vultureman said.
"Well give us a demonstration yes?" Slithe said.
"Okay then," Vultureman said and fired at Jackalman.
"YIKES!" Jackalman said.
The others watched as Jackalman shrunk. Then a minute later he was a baby. "Well Vultureman looks like your crazy invention worked, now change him back yes?" Slithe said.
Vultureman fired the laser again and Jackalman returned to his normal age. "Next time you use me as a guinea pig, you will get a punch in the beak." Jackalman said.
"Now let's get moving I want to go through with this plan quickly," Slithe said. "To the Wollo Village!" he said.
Meanwhile at cat's lair Snarf was cleaning up. "There, all weapons are dusted." Snarf said. The eye of Thundera opened and growled. "Lion-o there's trouble," he said.
Lion-o picked up the sword. "Sword of omens give me sight beyond sight." Lion-o said. e saw the Wollos under attack by the mutants. "The Wollos are being attacked by the mutants." he said.
The Thundercats got into the Thundertank and headed for the Wollo village. Once there they prepared for a fight. Lion-o was fighting Slithe and Vultureman was about to fire on him. "Lion-o look out!" Snarf shouted.
Lion-o saw Vultureman and jumped out of the way.
"Why you stupid furball, you'll pay for that," Vultureman said. He fired the laser at Snarf and he gasped and began to shrink.
"Snarf!" Lion-o said. He fired the sword of omens at the laser and it the laser broke.
"Oh no!" Vultureman said.
Lion-o saw Snarf and he was shocked. Snarf wasn't an adult anymore but a baby. The mutants had already retreated. Lion-o watched as Pumyra was tending to Snarf. "I have a feeling Vultureman wanted to do that to all of us not just Snarf," Panthro said.
"Is he okay?" Lion-o asked.
"Yes, he's fine, he's just sleeping." Pumyra said.
Lion-o took Snarf into his arms. "Gently and support his head." Pumyra said.
"I know, I've been around babies before," Lion-o said. "Just not a baby snarf." he said. Snarf shifted in his sleep and snuggled closer to Lion-o.
"That's so cute," Wilykit said.
"Well we better head back to cat's lair before the mutants get any more funny ideas." Panthro said.
All the Thundercats climbed into the Thundertank. Snarf was still in Lion-o's arms fast asleep. "We need to fix this but how?" Lion-o asked.
"The cave of time," Tygra said. "It advances to passage of time it brought you back to your age when the suspension gas deaged you," he said.
"Yes that could work, but we don't know how old Snarf is. If he is only a couple of months old, he won't be able to crawl or walk into the cave." Pumyra said. "Which means we will have to wait a few months before trying that," she said.
"Good point." Tygra said.
Snarf made sound and went back to sleeping.
"I think we should be more quiet, Snarf is still sleeping, last thing we need is a crying baby." Cheetara said.
"Okay," Panthro said.
Once at cat's lair they were going to determine Snarf's age after Vultureman used that deager gun on him. "Let's see judging by what I'm seeing, Snarf looks about," Pumyra said.
Then the computers came to life. "These seismic readings are incredible. There is an earthquake going on and it's at the cave of time." Panthro said. He put the image on the monitor. They saw rocks fall and block the entrance. "Blast! Now we have to wait because until we clear up those rocks there is no way we can get into the cave of time," he said.
Snarf whined and continued to nap.
"Shush!" Cheetara said.
"Sorry," Panthro said.
"Well it looks like Snarf is about I say 3 months old. So we most definitely have to wait." Pumyra said.
"I'm still shocked that uncle snarf is just a baby now," Snarfer said. "Will he be okay?" he asked.
"I think so Snarfer." Pumyra said.
"He's been sleeping for awhile," Lion-o said.
"Well babies do a lot of sleeping Lion-o," Tygra said.
"Yes I remember when I first met you as a cub, I held you for a few minutes and then you zonked out, you slept like a rock for a couple of hours," Panthro said.
"Well soon Snarf will be getting hungry," Pumyra said.
"What are we going to feed him?" Wilykit asked.
Pumyra got somethings out. "This Snarf formula, it's just like a mother Snarf's milk," Pumyra said. "Until Snarf is old enough to crawl he'll just be drinking this, just like a baby Thunderian. Because Snarfs are mammals like us, the feed their babies milk." she said. She mixed it up. She took Snarf into her arms to feed him.
Snarf squirmed around he wasn't to interested in the bottle. "Lion-o I think Snarf prefers you," Pumyra said giving him back to the young lord.
Snarf calmed down. Pumyra gave Lion-o the bottle and told him how to feed Snarf.
Lion-o brought the bottle to Snarf's mouth. Snarf latched on and started suckling. Lion-o watched carefully as Snarf drank the bottle. Snarf finished up the bottle and hiccuped.
"Okay Lion-o he needs to be burped," Pumyra said.
"How do I do that?" Lion-o asked.
"You put him up to your shoulder and pat his back gently," Pumyra said.
Lion-o did so and Snarf burped. "There we go," Lion-o said.
"Well this is fine mess, Snarf does a lot around here, hopefully we can do his chores for the time being." Panthro said.
"Besides that we have another problem who is going to take care of Snarf?" Tygra said.
"Maybe I should he's taken quite a fancy to me," Lion-o said.
"Are you sure Lion-o?" Pumyra asked.
"I'll help I'm his wife," Liosella said.
"Well this might give you two a chance a parenting when you two have a baby of your own," Panthro said.
"Then it's settled," Lion-o said.
"First things first we need a crib for Snarf to sleep in," Pumyra said. She got some things out. "I always keep emergency baby supplies on me," she said. "Okay, diapers, burp clothes, bottles, and a couple of blankets." she said. Then she secured a diaper on Snarf.
"Tygra, Panthro? Can you two make a crib for Snarf?" Lion-o asked.
"Sure, I will have to draw up a design first," Tygra said.
"Once the design is finished I can build it," Panthro said.
"Well we better get started then." Tygra said.
"It's getting late we better go to bed," Lynx-o said.
Everyone went to bed after that.
Lion-o and Liosella needed a safe place to put Snarf until the crib was made. But they didn't know where. So they placed Snarf in nest of blankets as make shift bed on one part of the bed and they stayed on the other that way they wouldn't hurt him.
"This will give us trial run to see if we are ready for parenthood," Liosella said.
"I know, goodnight Liosella," Lion-o said.
"Good night Lion-o," Liosella said.
