chapter 1
Lion-o was out in the forest today and he ran into a warrior maiden. "Sorry about that," Lion-o said.
"You must be Lion-o, I'm Martha," she said.
"Nice to meet you," Lion-o said. "I never seen this part of the forest before." he said.
"Neither have I, but I heard it's one of the most beautiful parts." Martha said.
Soon Martha and Lion-o began talking about things they liked and things they didn't like. They became fast friends. They would hang out together and Lion-o always found ways to make Martha laugh.
"Lion-O you seem to be leaving for the forest and coming back late sometimes, is there a reason for this?" Tygra asked.
"Yes Lion-o what's going on?" Cheetara asked.
"Well there's this girl," Lion-o said.
"A girl?" Panthro said.
"Yes a girl," Lion-o said.
"Is the girl another unknown Thunderian?" Tygra asked.
"No she's one of the warrior maidens and she is my friend, we like talking and doing things together," Lion-o said.
"Is see, you are aware this relationship might not work out," Tygra said.
"There is no relationship we are just friends," Lion-o said.
"Tygra, that wasn't a polite question that isn't like you," Cheetara said.
"Sorry, I thought it was a romantic relationship and you are aware of how things work, we are cat's and she is a human, you know it won't turn out well," Tygra said.
"How do you know it won't if it does become romantic?" Panthro asked.
"Listen I didn't just major in being an architect I also have taken honor's biology, so I am aware how the way nature is," Tygra said.
"Now Tygra, you are aware part nature is life and life can't be contained. So who knows are far things will go, okay," Cheetara said.
"Will all of you stop it!" Lion-o said.
"Lion-o, what's wrong?" Cheetara asked.
"All of are arguing about my friend Martha and my life, and arguing about things they may or may not happen." Lion-o said. "Now will all of you allow me to live my life!" he said and stormed off.
"He's got a point you know Snarf, snarf," Snarf said.
"You think so Snarf?" Tygra asked.
"I know so, you all keep saying he's a man now and just like all of you Lion-o has a life of his own, if you don't let him live his life freely and make his own choices, he will feel like he is still being treated like a child," Snarf said. "I know I treat him like a child at times, but I know at times he appreciates our concern, and other times he doesn't like it because he feels like he is being coddled." he said.
"I agree, we must really start treating Lion-o like the adult he is and help him only if it's necessary," Panthro said.
"Yes it's the best way," Cheetara said.
"Fine," Tygra said.
"Good I bet Lion-o has gone to cool off." Snarf said. "He'll be back soon," he said.
Lion-o was outside and steaming mad. "They have some nerve," Lion-o said. "telling me, what will work out and what won't," he said. He was very upset.
Meanwhile Martha was in the warrior maiden's kingdom. "Martha where have you been running off to most days and arriving back late at night?' Nayda asked.
"Yes are you with somebody specail? This might be our chance to finally unite again with the warrior men," Willa said.
"Not really, the one I have been spending time with is Lion-o," Martha said.
"So you have been spending time with the lord of the Thundercats," Nayda said. "You two must be good friends," she said.
"We are," Martha said and started to blush.
"I think you really like him," Willa said.
"I do, but he's a cat a lion and I'm a human, so I doubt it would work out," Martha said.
"Martha never give up hope," Nayda said.
"Yes, maybe you two are meant to be together," Willa said.
"You think so?" Martha asked.
"Yes," Willa said.
"Well I think I will go find him and tell him how I feel," Martha said.
"Go for it," Nayda said.
Martha went out and started look for Lion-o. Meanwhile a Warrior man was taken by Martha's beauty. "I think she's perfect I want to marry her." he said. Then went to the warrior maiden's village. He found Willa and Nayda. "My name is Alex I saw this lovely warrior maiden walking through the forest and I want to marry her," he said.
"Where is the forest did you see her?' Willa asked.
"She was walking through the forest towards the cat's lair and she had the most love brown hair and blue eyes." he said.
"That's Martha," Nayda said.
"I hate to tell you this but Martha is in love with another." Willa said.
"Who does she love we will have a competition for her heart," Alex said.
"She is in love with Lion-o the lord of the Thundercats." Willa said.
"Okay I will challenge him for her heart, and whoever wins has the right to marry her." Alex said.
"But Alex she isn't a prize to be won, a challenge is fine, but it is whoever wins her heart," Willa said.
"Willa you are aware of the traditions, of our tribes, and whoever wins the challenges gets to marry the young lady," Alex said.
"You are the purpose of the challenge is to win her heart to win that is how they started out, so if you win her heart then you can marry her," Willa said.
"Fine," Alex said.
Lion-o was starting to calm down and saw Martha come up. He felt himself blush when he saw her. He remembered how much he liked her. "Hello Martha," Lion-o said.
"Hello Lion-o," she said.
They held hands. "I love you Lion-o," Martha said.
Lion-o smiled and said. "I love you too," Lion-o said.
The other Thundercats were shocked Lion-o and Martha were in love. "Lion-o it might not work out," Tygra said. "I doubt she'll be able to give you an heir," he said.
"Enough," Lion-o said. "All I care about now is that love her," he said.
"Lion-o," Jaga said appearing.
"Jaga, is something wrong with me wanting to be with Martha?" Lion-o asked.
"Nothing is wrong with it, this was meant to be, Lion-o your people will see that love doesn't matter who or what you are. You and Martha's love is strong, soon a miracle is going to happen," Jaga said.
"Miracle? What kind of miracle?" Lion-o asked.
"You will soon see," Jaga said.
Then Jaga left. "What did Jaga have to say?" Panthro said.
"He just said that, Martha and I were meant to be together, and bring in a new age for our people," Lion-o said.
"I see," Panthro said.
Then Alex appeared. "Lion-o lord of the Thundercats, I challenge you for Martha's love," Alex said.
"What are you talking about?" Lion-o asked.
"I know what he's talking about, it's the old tradition when the two warrior tribes use to be one, when two men loved the same woman the two men compete in a challenge to see who wins the woman's heart," Martha said.
"Okay, if it's tradition I must accept," Lion-o said.
"Okay the challenge is accepted." Alex said.
"Since I am the one being competed I chose the competition," Martha said. "I choose a sword competition." she said.
"Okay then," Lion-o said.
"Fine," Alex said.
Lion-o got out his sword and Alex got out his sword. The two sword's clashed and back and forth the fight went. Alex was good but Lion-o proved to be the mightier. Then Lion-o knocked the sword out of Alex's hand.
"Lion-o wins," Snarf said.
Martha hugged Lion-o and kissed him.
"Why do you love him?" Alex asked getting up.
"I got to know him and loved everything about him," Martha said.
"I see, but I wonder why I can't find someone like that," Alex said.
"I'm sure you will," Lion-o said.
"Thanks and I know I lost and I wish both of you luck," Alex said.
After that Lion-o and Martha were married. Soon the miracle would happen.
To be continued.
