Author's Note: Well, it's me again. And I couldn't help but to announce that coming soon in the future, I'll attempt to make my own version of the Thundercats 2011 Season 2. It'll start with TyChee and end up with LiChee and PumGali. In this story, Cheetara will have the character development that we wanted, Pumyra will eventually go back to the Thundercats team, and Lion-O go to a dark place and experience more hardships than he had since season 1 while hopefully develop a relationship with Cheetara since I'm a huge fan of the pairing. The episodes I wrote are my ideas on how season 2 should've been about.
I'll start with chapter 1 soon, anyone who has ideas on the rest of the chapters, please private message me. Again I say if anyone still wants to do the challenges/requests on the stories I put out, please do so or private message me while I try to find a way to write more chapters on G.I. Joe: Trading Faces and Spider-Man/Avengers: Freaky Friday. Thanks.
1. Lion-O Snaps, Part. 1
Ever since Cheetara chose Tygra over him and being betrayed by Pumyra, Lion-O broods at night and fights aggressively during the battle with the Generals and the Lizards. One day during the spar with Tygra, Lion-O snapped, unleashed his inner rage and attacked him after Tygra insulted and undermined him which lead to him falling out with the other Thundercats. After Lion-O stormed off to the woods, Cheetara and Wilykit become concerned about him.
When Mumm-Ra saw this, he used the powers of the Ancient Spirits of Evil to cast an evil spell to extend his inner rage and hopefully use him to destroy the Thundercats. In the waterfall, Lion-O continues to brood while having flashbacks about the times when everybody in Thundera judged, discourage and undermine him, including Tygra, Pumyra and his father, the late King Claudus. His last flashbacks were Pumyra's betrayal and Cheetara & Tygra kissing before he went back to reality where Cheetara confronted him and they got into a heated argument about his behavior and random events ever since she formed her relationship with Tygra. The argument concluded with Cheetara telling to grow up and let it go which caused Lion-O to growl with his hateful eyes glowing red, which scared and intimidated her.
One night during a drive in the Thundertank, while Lion-O resided in his room, the other Thundercats questioned their roles and themselves regarding Lion-O's behavior but Tygra smugly disagrees and insisted that he should be King, instead of Lion-O. When they were attacked by Slithe, Addicus, Kaynar, Vultaire and Pumyra, Lion-O rushes into action without the others and quickly disposed the Lizards before confronting the traitor, Pumyra and the Generals of Mumm-Ra.
When Mumm-Ra's evil spell kicks into high gear, Lion-O was consumed by it and quickly disposed of the Generals before he took down Pumyra and proceeded to kill her. When Panthro and Tygra tried to restrain him, he attacked them and proceeded to kill them until Cheetara stops him from delivering the final blow by standing in front of him.
Mumm-Ra's voice got inside Lion-O's mind and told him to kill her but after struggling to regain control, Lion-O resisted his desire to hurt her and temporarily shrug off Mumm-Ra's spell before collapsing on Cheetara's arms. The cats retreated back to the Thundertank before Pumyra and the General have a chance to retaliate.
The Thundercats realized that it was Mumm-Ra that cast an evil spell on Lion-O by unleashing his pented up rage and frustration he held since he became king. They suggested that they need to find a way to save him but Tygra rejects that idea and declared himself as the acting king of the group by tying him up to prevent him from attacking them again.
When Wilykit blamed Cheetara for abandoning her Cleric duties and questioned her actions, Cheetara realized that she helped fueled the growing fire within Lion-O as the unconscious Lion-O undergoes a slow transformation into a monster.
2. Lion-O Snaps, Part. 2
While struggling to control his growing rage, Lion-O overheard a conversation of Thundercats regarding him. Cheetara, who was remorseful for what happened to Lion-O, became discouraged after Wilykit chewed her out for abandoning her Cleric duties and decided to make things right between her and Lion-O, only to be interrupted by Mumm-Ra's forces which led to yet another struggle for survival.
While the Thundercats were overpowered, Lion-O used his new ability to call upon the Sword of Omens and the sword was magically removed from Tygra's hand. After cutting the rope off of him, Lion-O stepped into battle by using the thundercycle and defeated them by firing machineguns and missiles at them and slicing and dicing them with the Sword of Omens.
Tygra confronted Lion-O about how the Sword of Omens was magically removed from his hand, only to get hard punched in the face by him. When Panthro demanded answers, Lion-O consumed by his out of control rage, attacked him and surprising overpowered him with his newly found strength.
Cheetara tried to intervene but Lion-O caught her by grabbing her throat and processed to kill her with the Sword of Omens but he manages to stop himself while fighting off his uncontrollable rage, which was increased by Mumm-Ra's evil spell.
After putting the Sword of Omens back in his gauntlet, Lion-O reveals that when he lost his temper, he loses part of himself. He also reveals that the memories of him being tormented by his enemies and his estranged allies and resent events fueled the growing fire within him.
Cheetara deduces that Mumm-Ra cast an evil spell on him. All the Thundercats agreed but Tygra disagreed and continued to chastise Lion-O about what happened to Thundera, their kind, the fact that Cheetara chose him over his younger stepbrother, Pumyra's betrayal and how she toys with him, his behavior, his way of thinking and why he doesn't deserve to be king and have everything. Cheetara tries to get Tygra to stop but he ignored her and continued to chastise Lion-O until Lion-O couldn't take it anymore and lost himself to his rage.
When Lion-O's bad memories flashed before his eyes, he attacked the Thundercats and slowly transformed into a hulking monster. Now a raging, rampaging beast twice the size of Panthro, Lion-O, now under the influence of Mumm-Ra, stormed from the scene and proceeded to rampage toward a nearing village.
While the other Thundercats rushed toward to Thundertank to stop him, Cheetara dropped on her knees, shed a tear and whispered "What have we've done?" as the episode concludes.
