chapter 1

Lion-o was a young cub. He was well loved by his father. He was a sweet five year old cub. "Daddy!" Lion-o said reaching his arms up to his father.

Claudius laughed and picked him up. "That's my boy," he said.

Quaking suddenly started. "Daddy what's happening?" Lion-o asked.

"I don't know but I must talk to Jaga about it, Lion-o go to bed." Claudius said.

Lion-o scampered off to his room.

There were was something going on. The tribes started to discuss what was going on. They knew Thundera was about to end so it was time to search for a new home. They didn't have much time so they started to pile on to ships.

Claudius picked Lion-o. "Hmm daddy, I'm tired." Lion-o said.

"I know but we got to go," Claudius said.

"Go where this my home," Lion-o said.

"We need to find a new home," Claudius said.

"Doofle," Lion-o said looking at his dropped bear.

"Don't worry I got it, snarf, snarf." Snarf said.

"Good now let's hurry we don't have much time." Claudius said.

They rushed on to the ship. Lion-o saw something. "Father survivors!" Lion-o said.

"Hurry!" Claudius shouted to them.

The Thunderian's ran into the ship carrying their friend. "That was too close," the young white tiger said.

"Are you three okay?" Wilykit asked.

"Yes we are fine," the puma said.

The old Lynx was holding his face.

"My friend what happened to your eyes?" Claudius said.

"They were damaged by flames. I'm blind," the lynx said.

"Who are you?" Cheetara asked.

"I'm Bengali," the white tiger said.

"I'm Pumyra," the puma said.

"I'm Lynx-o," the lynx said.

"Now we must hurry," Panthro said.

They took off quickly. Lion-o yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Looks like the young Prince is still tired." Bengali said.

"Well he had to be woken up so we could escape," Tygra said.

"Can I go back to sleep now?" Lion-o asked.

The ship was in space and then the planet explode and the shock wave blasted through the area. Lion-o saw the whole thing and was shocked. "That planet it was destroyed." Lion-o said.

"It was Thundera Lion-o our home, now we must find a new one." Jaga said.

Lion-o clung to his father and snuggled close to him.

"It will be alright Lion-o," Claudius said. "Now it's time for you to go back to sleep," he said.

The Thundercats got new clothes. Soon there was great deal of noise. Lion-o got out of bed and started to look for his father. "Daddy?" Lion-o said looking the sword chamber and saw the sword of omens. Snarf had followed him.

"Lion-o we need to go back to your room you'll be safe there." Snarf said.

"But I want daddy!" Lion-o said.

Then the mutants came into the sword chamber. "Well, well look what we have here a little cub. Give us the sword." Slithe said.

"No, Jaga and daddy told me all about what you want the sword for and I won't let you take it!" Lion-o said.

Slithe and a couple of other mutants came towards him. Lion-o grabbed the sword to defend himself. The sword roared to life and mutants ran away.

"That sound it came from the sword chamber," Claudius said.

"Lion-o isn't in his room," Cheetara said.

"Oh no," Claudius said and ran to the sword chamber and saw Lion-o. "Lion-o are you okay?' Claudius asked.

Lion-o dropped the sword and ran to his father. "I went looking for you after this big sound I looked in this room and mutants came in they tried to attack me, it so scary!" Lion-o said sobbing.

"It's okay Lion-o, I see you used the sword of omens," Claudius said. "You sure sent the mutants running." he said.

"The sword did it for me," Lion-o said.

"Okay now let's check on everyone else." Claudius said.

They checked on the other Thundercats. "This ship has been badly damaged we need to find a new place to land and set up as a home. This third planet from the sun is our best bet we'll be able to breathe air there." Panthro said.

"We need to go into the suspension capsules though," Wilykit said.

"Everyone get in," Jaga said.

"What about you Jaga?" Lion-o asked.

"I will pilot the ship I am the oldest here I will do it, it is the only way," Jaga said.

"I understand," Claudius said.

Everyone climbed into the pods. "Daddy," Lion-o said.

"Don't worry Lion-o I'll see you soon," Claudius said.

"Here's Doofle," Snarf said.

"Thanks Snarf," Lion-o said.

The pods closed and Jaga started to pilot the ship. Jaga was dying and turned on the robot pilot. The ship crashed while the others also followed. Snarf got out of his capsule and Lion-o's capsule opened. The five year old looked around. "Snarf," Lion-o said.

"Good you are okay," Snarf said.

"Where's daddy?" Lion-o asked. He saw the capsule with his father inside. "Daddy!" Lion-o said and the pod opened.

Claudius sat up. "Lion-o," Claudius said.

Lion-o hugged him. "Daddy," Lion-o said.

"Lion-o I'm so relieved," Claudius said.

Snarf brought the sword of omens over. "Good job Snarf." Claudius said he saw the Thundercats and country men were in danger. "Lion-o stay here, Snarf keep him safe." he said.

Lion-o was frightened holding his teddy bear Doofle close.

The mutants retreated. Lion-o saw them from a distance and ran to them. "Lion-o are you okay?' Cheetara asked.

"Yes Cheetara." Lion-o said.

"Good everyone is safe and accounted for," Pumyra said.

"You three have proven yourselves like Thundercats I think you will be great Thundercats and you will be some of Lion-o's guardians like the other Thundercats." Claudius said. Claudius anointed them and they were now Thundercats.

The other Thundercats had to agree it was a great idea.

"Now we must figure out how to set up Cat's lair," Tygra said.

Lion-o decided to go exploring. There was much on Third earth to see.

"Have any of you seen Lion-o?' Snarf asked.

"He's probably just getting into mischief like the Thunderkittens." Tygra said.

"Or exploring after all there is much here to see, the Thunderkittens doing it too," Cheetara said.

"Okay I hope he's going to be careful," Snarf said.

"Lion-o will be back before sunset he knows the rules." Claudius said.

Mum-Ra saw the crash the Thundercats and their people the Thunderians. "I can tell this cub has a great destiny and this destiny is bad news for me, I must take him and prevent it from happening," Mum-Ra said. "Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed form to Mum-Ra the ever living!" he said. He flew out of the pyramid.

Lion-o was exploring and the large bandaged man attacked. "Who are you?" Lion-o asked.

"I am Mum-Ra the ever living, you will come with me," Mum-Ra said.

"Never!" Lion-o said and turned to run.

Mum-Ra landed in front of him. "I know you have a great destiny young one and I can't let this destiny happen for my sake." Mum-Ra said.

Lion-o threw rocks at Mum-Ra. "What good will rock throwing do you?" Mum-Ra said laughing.

Lion-o grabbed something with a reflective surface. Mum-Ra saw his reflection and screamed and flew off.

The other Thundercats came running and Lion-o jumped into his father's arms he was crying. "What is that thing?" Wilykit asked.

"He told me his name is Mum-Ra the ever living he attacked me and tried to take me away. When I picked up the thing that acted like mirror he ran off because of his reflection." Lion-o said.

"He feared nothing except the evil in his own unspeakable image." Tygra said.

"We are so glad you are safe Lion-o." Claudius said.

It was time to head back to camp.
