Mumm-Ra's Revenge
By 18lzytwner
Chapter 1
Six months had passed since the last encounter with Mumm-Ra and everyone was enjoying the peace and quiet for however long it lasted. Lion-O sat at the main computer in the control room. He was on duty but there really wasn't anything going on. The scanner had cleared the planet of any unusual activity. Winter was setting in and everyone was pretty much getting ready for it. The last few had been doozies with record snowfall and wind gusts. Sometimes people had been forced to stay inside for days because the snow had piled so high their front doors wouldn't open or the wind was so ferocious traveling had been strictly forbidden unless it was an emergency.
Lion-O shivered at the thought of wind and snow and quickly shifted his thoughts to something else. Pumyra's new cub would be born soon and Tygra had been keeping a watchful eye for any signs of trouble. At the puma's age it was dangerous to have cubs but it wasn't like she and Ben-Gali had actually been trying especially since this cub would be so much younger than the others.
"Bored my Lord?" A familiar voice shook him from his thoughts.
"Not anymore." He smirked as he pulled Cheetara unto his lap.
"Very funny." She smiled.
"Well I'd much rather look at a beautiful woman than at the empty screen." The lion smiled back.
"Suck up all you want but I don't think that will help you get off duty any earlier. Panthro only likes to hear things like that from Lea." She teased. Lion-O immediately stuck out his tongue and made a face.
"Thanks for that image." He chuckled.
"You're quite welcome but seriously I came to talk to you about Sahara." The cheetah said.
"Why? What's up?" Lion-O became serious.
"Well her behavior of late is a bit odd and at first I thought it was just teenager stuff until Pumyra brought up the fact that Tyler is acting up too." Cheetara told him.
"Well they are best friends. If one is out of sorts that might affect the other, besides after what we went through six months ago she might just be trying to adjust to her new found power." He didn't seem too concerned.
"I guess." She sighed but didn't seem completely satisfied with the answer. Her sixth sense was telling her something was going on but at this point she didn't have enough proof.
"I would only start worrying if she starts skipping meals, shirking her duties, or stops feeding Ma-Mutt." Lion-O tried to reassure her.
"You're right. Any of that happens and we'll have serious problems." She laughed.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
While Cheetara and Lion-O were discussing parenting, Mumm-Ra was pacing back and forth. His last plan had been fool proof until Lion-O somehow managed to break out of the curse.
"Something shielded him. He still turned into a child but it didn't stop that blasted Sword from changing him back. Perhaps Jaga had a hand in this but then again he's in the astral plane so how would that work? Arrrgh." The mummy continued to pace. He'd spent the last six months looking for a loophole but without his book it made life difficult. Soon after regaining most of his power, he'd spent his energy fixing the broken Ancient Spirit of Evil and not much else.
"I have to get my book back. The answer must be there and the only person capable of using it is Mumm-Rana. Hmm… I suppose I'll have to pay her a visit." He smirked.
