A side story to Tygalina and Tygra the lost tigers of the clan. Lion-o is sad and lonely especially after Pumrya rejecting him and leaving to go with another cat. Now he hopes to find a girl who is just right for him. Will he find the perfect girl for him?

chapter 1

Lion-o was out looking for firewood. He was trying to distract himself because of what happened with Pumrya. Maybe some day he'll find the cat who is right for him. He didn't know he was soon going to meet her.

He was picking up the fire wood and hoped to make it back to the campsite soon. He heard something. He turned around and saw an irate creature it charged straight at him. "Whoa!" Lion-o said.

He made a grab for his sword. The boar like creature charged at him knocking him down causing him to drop his sword. Lion-o made way grab the sword of omens but the creature charge at him again. Knocking Lion-o towards the edge of a river with a raging current.

Lion-o started to pick himself up when the beast charged at him again knocking him into the river. Lion-o was trying to swim against the current but was failing he got tossed all over the place. He bumped into some rocks.

He passed out. Lion-o was washed up on the river bank. A young lioness was riding her Marchnoke through the woods. "Okay, that is enough for a while." she said.

She saw something. She headed over there leading her Marchnoke. When got close enough she Lion-o he was out cold. She walked up close a kneeled down. She saw he was breathing.

"He's alive we need help him." she said. She carefully lifted him and placed him on the back of her Marchnoke. "Easy boy." she said. Then she started back home.

Her father was working in the yard when he saw her come up. "Lionette how was the ride?" he asked. Then he saw the unconscious Lion-o. "Lionette what happened?" he asked.

"Dad I found him washed up on the river bank. He's still alive." she said.

Her father took a look. "He's injure and exhausted. We need to take him inside." he said.

They put Lion-o in bed and bandaged his wounds. Lionette felt Lion-o's forehead. "Dad he has a fever." Lionette said.

"I'll go get some more herbs from our garden to help with his fever." Her father said. "Keep an eye on him.' he said.

"I will," Lionette said.

They made an herbal tea and gave it to Lion-o.

Meanwhile at the base camp everyone was getting worried. "What is taking Lion-o?" Tygalina asked.

"I don't know but he better get here fast it's going to get dark soon." Panthro said.

"You don't think something happened to Lion-o do you?" Wilykit asked.

"I hope not." Wilykat said.

"I think something must have happened if he hasn't come back by now." Cheetara said.

"We better go look for him." Tygra said.

They made it to the river. Tygalina saw the sword of omens. "Lion-o wouldn't just leave this lying around." she said.

"Look tracks." Cheetara said.

"Looks like there must of been a quite a scuffle." Wilykit said.

They saw the river. "That is one nasty current." Cheetara said.

"What if Lion-o fell in?" Wilykit asked.

"Wherever Lion-o is he's probably alright he's got to be." Tygra said.

They headed back to camp to think about where to look for Lion-o next.

Then next morning Lion-o started to wake up. Some was feeding him. It looked almost like a girl. She scraped his chin and giggled. But that is the last thing he remembered before blacking out again.

Lionette found herself falling in love with Lion-o.

She was wiping Lion-o's face with a cool rag to bring down his fever when he started to wake up finally. He opened his eyes and saw Lionette standing in front of him. "Is that the face of an angel?" he asked.

They looked into each others eyes and fell in love.

"No you are very much alive young man you should thank my daughter for that she found you unconscious on the riverbank." The other lion in the room said. "My name is Leonos and that is my daughter Lionette." he said.

"I'm Lion-o." Lion-o said.

"Your our king!" Leonos said. "We barely escaped the fall of Thundera." he said.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Lionette asked.

"I was attack by this aggressive Lonot boar out of no where."

"Was it all black with red eyes?" Leonos asked.

"Yes," Lion-o said.

"Not that Lonot boar again." Leonos said. "That is the fifth animal it attack this week." he said.

"Is it well known around here?" Lion-o asked.

"Yes it attacks everyone." Lionette said.

"Wait I dropped my sword before I fell into the river. I can't help you with the boar if I dropped my sword." Lion-o said.

"Don't worry we'll figure out something." Leonos said.

Later that day Lion-o was well enough to get out of bed. Leonos could see he daughter developed a deep affection for Lion-o and Lion-o felt the same way about her.

Lion-o felt so much better his injuries no longer hurt him and his fever was gone. "I feel so much better thanks for helping me." Lion-o said.

"Your welcome it was my father's healing herbs that did the trick." Lionette said.

Leonos was think it was about time his daughter left the nest. He saw how happy she was with the young king. They both made a beautiful couple.

Meanwhile the other Thundercats were looking for Lion-o. The followed the river and found the home of Lionette and Leonos. They saw Lion-o was with them they came up to them.

Lion-o saw them coming up. "Wait guys they helped me," Lion-o said.

"Are these your friends Lion-o?" Leonos asked.

"Yes they are," Lion-o said.

"My name is Leonos and this is my daughter Lionette." Leonos said.

Lionette explained how she found Lion-o on the riverbank. They began to make friends they heard a sound. The Lonot boar appeared. "Oh no!" Lionette said.

It attacked charging for Lionette and Lion-o protected her by slashing it with the sword of omens which Tygra tossed to him. Leonos start to help fighting the boar and injured his leg. The boar was about to attack him again but Lion-o came running and ran the beast through before Leonos could be harmed.

Tygalina began to tend to Leonos she gave him some of her tonic. "Sunrise orchid tonic thank you so much," Leonos said.

Tygalina saw the flowers growing nearby. "Are those sunrise orchids?" she asked.

"Yes they are I found some seeds and began to grow them." Leonos said.

"Lion-o there is something I have to tell you." Lionette said.

"What is it?" Lion-o asked.

"I want to come with you." she said.

"You do why?" Lion-o asked.

"Because I love you." she said.

"I love you to but don't belong here with your father?" Lion-o asked.

"Lion-o it was about time my daughter left the nest she about your age it's time she stayed with a man about her age and settled with him. I can see that man is you." Leonos said.

"I promise you she is in good hands." Lion-o said.

So Lionette was going to join them on their journey and it looks Lion-o may have found his match.
