Schwenk's Revenge
Chapter 1
By Leanna
"You two wait outside," Panthro said calmly.
"What...are you nuts," Myra said, "she'll shoot you the second you move".
"She won't shoot me," Panthro said calmly watching the lioness, "Go...now".
Reluctantly the two women left, "Raven," Panthro said calmly, "We're alone...put the gun down...you know I would never hurt you," He said taking a step forward.
"Stay where you are...Please," she said as her hand trembled slightly.
The panther kept moving forward until the barrel of the gun pressed against his bare chest, "its ok," he said quietly and reached up and gently touched the lioness's cheek with his fingertips. The lioness just looked at him as he dropped his hand from her cheek and put it over the gun. His gaze never left hers as he took the gun from her hand.
He breathed a sigh of relief when she flung her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly; he closed his eyes and wrapped both arms around her, taking in her scent, feeling the softness of her long ebony mane and the warmth of her body, "Lea...What's happened to you," he asked quietly, "why did you run".
For a moment the Lioness's eye turned back to their normal Emerald color, "Pan," she whispered and hugged him just a bit tighter feeling his flesh against her cheek.
"Lea," Panthro said putting his hand under her chin tipping her head so she was looking at him, "What's going on...what's happened," He asked, "You said Schwenk saved you...how did that happen?"
The lioness froze, a chill ran down her spine, Schwenk was close by, "No," she said letting go and backing away, "you have to go".
"What...I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on," Panthro said as the lioness stepped away from him.
"Please for your own safety ...Go...take Cheetara and Myra and go home," She said.
"Anna," Panthro said worried, "Please tell me what's going on".
The instant that name passed his lip's the lioness's eyes turned jet black, "I tried to warn you...but you wouldn't listen," she growled and leapt in the air and spun, delivering a round house kick to the unsuspecting Panther's head.
Panthro stumbled backwards, the cane he had in his hand went flying landing with a clatter on the wooden floor a few feet away. His hand clutched the door frame catching himself from falling. The two women outside heard the commotion and burst inside, "Lea," Cheetara called, "what are you doing".
"You came to play too," Raven smirked spinning around and facing the two women.
"Watch out," Panthro said putting his weight on his good leg, "it's not Lea".
Cheetara looked at Myra and took the Bo staff off her cuff; the tigress nodded and readied her weapon.
"Now this is hardly a fair fight," Schwenk said suddenly appearing, "Three against one...here pet...this might even the odds a bit more," He smirked as the lioness's Kamas appeared in her hands.
"You," Panthro growled, "How in the hell did…"
"Aww poor confused kitty," Schwenk smiled, "Yes...I'm very much alive...thanks to your mate...or should I say my new pet".
"Son of a…" Panthro growled and took out his nun chucks.
Raven growled and stepped in front of the panther, "wanna play blue man," She smirked and readied her Kamas.
"I'm not going to fight you," Panthro said.
"Aww too bad, but it will make killing you that much easier," Raven said taking a swing at Panthro's head.
"Raven...stop it," Panthro said blocking her weapon with the chain of his nun chucks.
Cheetara and Myra moved to help Panthro contain the lioness, "Not so fast ladies," Schwenk said, with a flick of his wrist the two she cats went flying backwards a invisible force pinned them against the wall, "Leave them to their lovers spat...by the way Panther...she won't stop until she's killed you".
Lion-O and Tygra were still sitting on the Lair's front steps when the Sword of Omens came to life and growled, "What now," Lion-O said removing the Sword of the Claw Shield on his thigh and held it up in front of his eyes, "Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight," he commanded, the cross bars curled, "By Jaga," the lion gasped.
"What's going on Lion-O?" Tygra asked.
"We got trouble...big trouble," Lion-O said as the sword showed him the fight between the panther and lioness then Cheetara and Myra pinned against the wall by Schwenk. "We have to go...now," he said jumping up and running to the hanger.
"Lion-O," Tygra said as he jumped on the ThunderClaw, "what's wrong".
"It's Schwenk," Lion-O said starting up the HoverCat, "He's alive and has Myra and Cheetara pinned down".
"What," Tygra replied surprised.
"That's not the only thing," Lion-O said as they both lifted off and headed towards the cabin, "Leanna is fighting Panthro... She's trying to kill him".
"If we don't get there she may succeed...You know yourself Lion-O... Panthro won't do anything to hurt her," Tygra nodded.
"I know," Lion-O said in a worried tone.
"Magnificent isn't she," Schwenk smirked watching the lioness fight, "I have to say Panther...you taught her well...maybe a bit too well," He laughed.
"Shut up," Panthro growled and dodged another strike from the lioness.
"Come on big boy," Raven smirked, "You can do better than that," she said bringing her right Kama down, Panthro brought up his red nun chuck to block the weapon, the blade sliced though it like a hot knife through butter.
"Oops...did I do that," Raven winked. Panthro narrowed his eyes...now he was getting mad.
The Lioness knew she could never match his strength or skills, but she was good enough she could hold her own against him for a short period of time. Manoeuvring the blue nun chuck to his right hand, Panthro got into position to release the gas hidden within. Knowing exactly what he was up too, Raven leapt backwards and tried to kick the weapon from his hand. Panthro smirked, this was what he wanted her to do and as her foot came up he quickly grabbed her ankle, the lioness landed on the floor on her backside.
Raven looked at him and growled and sat up and struck out with her sharp claws, Panthro quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her feet, wrapping his arms around her, pinning her arms to her sides and holding her tight against his chest in a bear hug, "now...are you going to stop this," he asked.
"Let me see," she smirked and quickly drew back her head and brought it forward smashing her forehead against the Panther's nose, "Does that answer your question?"
Panthro cringed and let go, bringing his hand up to his bloody nose, Raven dropped to the floor and reached for her weapons.
"Why are you making her do this?" Cheetara asked trying to break the hold Schwenk had on her and the tigress.
"Because it's fun," He smirked then cocked his head to one side, "looks like we have company coming...Raven quit fooling around and kill him already".
"Don't tell me what to do," Raven hissed at him and grabbed her weapons.
Schwenk was about to say something when a bolt of energy came through the open doorway hitting him square in the chest knocking him to the floor, "Bugger," he wheezed rubbing his chest, "damn cats".
"Lion-O," Cheetara smiled as the lion and tiger came running through the door.
"You two alright?" Lion-O asked as he kept the sword of omens pointed at Schwenk.
"We're ok," Myra said as they dropped to the floor.
Schwenk caught his breath and slowly moved; he put his hand on the wood floor and started to stand.
"Don't you move!" Lion-O ordered, the sword growled a warning at the human.
"Hey chill out," Schwenk said rising his hand, The ThunderCats had no idea the power that he had. The human quickly glanced at Raven and slightly nodded his head.
Raven stood and slowly walked towards the ThunderCat lord swaying her hips slightly, the heel of her boots clicking on the wood floor with each step, "Lion-O," She said hooking her Kama's at her hips, "I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting".
The lion looked at her confused for a moment, "Leanna," He said, "You alright?"
"Oh...I'm just fine," She smiled and stopped in front of the lion, "such a big handsome cat," she said almost with a purr as she reached out and lightly ran her finger tips over his right forearm.
Lion-O gulped uncomfortably and looked at her, she took his free hand and held it up, placing her palm against his, her ivory markings matching his own, her other hand traveled up over his broad chest to his neck, she wound her fingers through his scarlet mane, she growled and tugged his head back and lightly bit his collar bone then pulled his head down towards her, "The name is Raven," she purred in his ear.
"She's quite the little minx," Schwenk smirked and turned and winked at the Panther.
The panther scowled, "RAVEN!!" He snapped and hobbled towards her, the lioness looked at Lion-O, "looks like blue man wants to play," she smirked and backed away from the perplexed lion. "Wow," Lion-o said quietly shaking his head and watched as the lioness sauntered towards the panther.
"Aww what's the matter blue man...in a hurry to die," She winked stopping in front of him.
Panthro stopped and left his arms at his sides, "If you wish to kill me l'amore della sua vita...then go ahead," he said staring into her black eyes, "I won't stop you".
"What does that mean," Myra whispered to Tygra.
"Love of my life," Tygra said watching he hoped Panthro could get through to her; he may be the only one who could. The tiger had his whip ready just in case things went bad quickly.
"KILL HIM!!" Schwenk bellowed and started to stand.
"I said don't move," Lion-O said and fired another bolt of energy at the human, this time Schwenk was ready, he put his hand up, the bolt of energy bounce harmlessly off an invisible barrier. Lion-O deflected the shot with the sword as it came sailing back at him. Tygra quickly unfurled his whip and sent it towards the human with a flick of his wrist, Schwenk smirked and caught the end of the whip with his hand, "Surprise," he smiled and with his other hand send a bolt of energy at the tiger catching him in the chest and sending him backwards.
"Tygra," Myra half shouted and glared at Schwenk, "you'll pay for that," she said as the power flowed from her body to her staff.
"Oh you want to play too miss stripes," Schwenk smirked and sent a bolt of energy at her, in a flash Cheetara was in front of Myra, she managed to deflect the bolt with the spinning of her bo staff.
"You people are really starting to get on my nerves," Schwenk scowled, the humans eyes started to glow, he raised his hands and smirked as the four ThunderCats froze and rose in the air. "Come on Raven quit playing games and just kill him".
"I think your losing your touch, Schwenk," Panthro said as he kept his gaze on his mate, "she doesn't want to kill me...she has no reason to".
Raven smiled at the panther and slowly ran her hands up over his broad chest and wrapped her arms around his neck, placing one hand on the back of his head, she drew his head down and kissed him passionately.
Schwenk's eyes narrowed in anger, "Traitorest bitch," he grumbled, then slowly smile as he seen the lioness move her right hand down the panther's arm then to her hip.
Oblivious to what the lioness was up to, Panthro was distracted beyond reasoning as Raven's soft tongue invade his mouth with brutal softness, it wasn't until he felt the cold steel of the titanium blade of her Kama against his throat that he came back to his senses, his eyes snapped open, "Move and I will slice your throat open," Raven said pressing the blade against his jugular vein.
"Even if you kill me...our Souls are bound together for all eternity," Panthro said quietly not moving a muscle, "Remember... the blood stone".
"That's just some story," Raven snorted not phased.
"Which you believe...you felt the bond, Lea...you know it's true," Panthro said, "and what of our child...one that is bound and determined to come into this world despite the odds he's had to fight against".
"Raven...just kill him," Schwenk ordered hearing enough of the panther's babbling.
"Don't listen to Schwenk," Lion-o said, "Listen to your heart...it knows what's right".
"Ok...I've had enough of you," Schwenk said and slowly closed his hand, Lion-O gasped as an invisible vice locked around his throat cutting off his air supply, "Raven," Schwenk said as his eyes turned black, "kill him...NOW!!"
Raven gazed into the panther's amber eyes, "I...I can't," she said as her hand and voice trembled slightly.
Schwenk walked up behind the lioness and grabbed a fist full of her thick hair, "You owe me," He sneered pulling her head back sharply, "now you will pay for disobeying me". Schwenk grasped the lioness by the throat with incredible strength, lifting her clear off the floor.
Panthro's eyes narrowed in anger "Release her," He growled and drew back his fist to Punch Schwenk in the back of the head. Schwenk's head snapped around, in a flash Panthro was tossed across the room landing with a loud thud against the wall.
"NOOO!!" Raven hoarsely cried as the panther slumped to the floor, she desperately clawed at the humans hand, Schwenk snarled and squeezed tighter, "you had so much potential," Schwenk said with a touch of regret in his voice, "join your lover," He sneered and slammed the lioness hard against the wall, Raven crumpled to the floor in a heap beside her mate.
Schwenk threw back his head and opened his arms and screamed a long horse cry of rage, the entire cabin started to shake, Lion-O and the others struggled to free themselves, "Goodbye ThunderCats," Schwenk said as he began to float in the air, his long dark hair fluttering around his head as his power increased, the doors and windows of the cabin slammed shut keeping the ThunderCats trapped inside. A loud powerful explosion ripped through the cabin, levelling the building and surrounding trees. Schwenk looked down at the devastation and laughed evilly, there was nothing left of the cabin but a smouldering pile of wood and brick. Pleased with his work the human vanished.
