chapter 1

Lion-o was in the pit he tried to free Pumyra a cat slave who was fighting there. She was understandably upset. Lion-o couldn't blame her. They went into the pit to fight. Lion-o kept standing up after Pumyra beat him down. She couldn't understand why. She looked into his eyes and felt something deep inside pull at heart a little. Suddenly felt twinge and went back to murderous thoughts of fighting him right now.

"If you stay down I will make this merciful." Pumyra said. Deep inside her she didn't know what she was saying she was healer for Thundera's sake.

"I won't stay down," Lion-o said.

"Then you will suffer like your people did." Pumyra said. She kept up the merciless attacks.

Lion-o got up again. "Why do you keep getting up?" She asked.

"I promised I would stand by you and I intend to keep that promise." Lion-o said.

Pumyra's true self got a hold and dropped the pelt. "I will not kill my king Dobo." she said.

"And I won't hurt a fellow cat," Lion-o said.

"The penalty for forfeit is death," Dobo said.

"Let them live!" the crowd chanted.

"You both earned my respect you are both free cats." Dobo said.

Pumyra bandaged Lion-o up. "Maybe you know how to act like a king after all," she said.

"You said you were among other cat slaves where?' Lion-o asked.

"A mining operation in mount Plun-darr." she said pointing at a scary looking place.

They headed for mount Plun-darr to free the cat slaves. The other Thundercats saw how their people were being treated. Lion-o, Pumyra and Panthro went down to help the slaves while Tygra and Cheetara went to get the sword of Plun-darr.

Pumyra saw a cat getting whipped and ran over to stop it and grabbed the rat while Lion-o pulled her back.

They were caught and brought before Rattaro. After a earthquake Lion-o defeated Rattaro who fled underground while they freed the slaves.

Mum-Ra came for the sword of Plun-darr and kidnapped Pumyra and tied her up. Lion-o decided to save her instead of getting the sword of Plun-darr.

Lion-o soon started to go out of his way to impress Pumyra. She was a little confused, even annoyed, but deeply happy and amused that he liked her so much.

Pumyra started to show a fondness for Lion-o deep down where her true self was. But something was up and something about her was different. In Avista Mum-Ra controlled her. "I kidnapped Pumyra during the fall of Thundera, she tried to run away so I had Grune knock her out and when she was in the pyramid I cast a spell on her to put her under my complete control, she isn't in control of her own actions," Mum-Ra said.

Lion-o made a step to go towards her. "I wouldn't do that or she will be killed," Mum-Ra said.

Lion-o stayed back then Dobo knocked Pumyra free and Lion-o held her when she passed out.

Mum-Ra had the Tech stone. Lion-o kissed Pumyra's cheek and she came too. "Where am I? What happened?" she asked.

Lion-o told her everything and smiled at her and she smiled back and hugged him.

"Mum-Ra's hold on her is gone," Anet said.

Lion-o was happy to hear that maybe they can start a relationship soon.
