chapter 1

The Thundercats just made it to dog city. "Well here we are," Lion-o said.

"Let's grab the supplies and get out of here, I got some bad memories of this town." Panthro said.

"You have been like this all morning what happened here Panthro?" Lion-o asked.

"Forget it kid I don't want to give you nightmares," Panthro said.

"Oh please he just doesn't want to get fleas from the locals," Tygra teased.

"Come on dogs aren't that bad," Wilykat said. "We use to be around them in the slums of Thundera they made the best bone stew," he said.

"Mmm, bone stew let's get some while we are here," Wilykit said.

"Hey don't go off alone," Cheetara said.

"We can take care of ourselves," Wilykat said.

"Go with them Snarf," Lion-o said.

Snarf nodded and ran after the kittens. "Hey look here," Tygra said.

"A cat?" Lion-o asked.

"She must've survived the fall of Thundera," Cheetara said.

Lion-o tore down the poster and looked at it.

"Now she has to survive the pit," Panthro said.

"What's the pit?' Lion-o asked.

"You will soon see," Panthro said.

They were in this huge stadium arena. "This is the pit," Panthro said. "It's where slaves and criminals fight to survive," he explained.

"And to entertain," Tygra guessed. "Like need another reason not to like dogs." he said.

Lion-o looked a dog sitting next to him. "Who's in charge?" Lion-o asked.

The dog pointed at a balcony. The Thundercats went up there. There was a doberman sitting in a regal looking chair. "What can you tell me about this cat?" Lion-o asked him.

"She's a fighter belongs to me," the dog said.

"Not anymore she's a free cat now," Lion-o said.

"Oh yeah?" the dog said.

"Don't let him scare you Lion-o," Panthro said.

"Stay out of this Panthro," Cheetara whispered.

"He use to be fierce now he is old and scrawny!" Panthro said.

"You little furball," the dog said.

"You stupid ugly mutt," Panthro said.

The two growled and then shook hands. "It's been a long time Dobo," Panthro said.

"A life time Panthro," Dobo said.

"I can see that," Panthro said.

"If you want to your cat she's up against Gormax next." Dobo said.

They saw her fight and defeat the cyborg. "Is their anyway we can work out a deal for her freedom?" Lion-o asked.

"Possibly, then let's discuss it with Pumyra first." Dobo said.

They went down to the pit holding cells. Pumyra saw Lion-o there. "Lion-o I always hoped you would come for your people, I never gave up hope," Pumyra said.

"I know what you mean I almost gave up hope that there no other cats besides just us few Thundercats who managed to escape and the villages of the other cat clans." Lion-o said.

"Hundreds of cats escaped the fall. While hundreds more were capture and sold as slaves." Pumyra said.

"Okay enough of the chit chat, let's discuss our deal for Pumyra's freedom," Dobo said.

"Okay here's my deal, if I win Pumyra's next fight in the pit she goes free, if I lose I will pay you back the money you lost." Lion-o said.

"Hmm," Dobo said.

"Wait," Pumyra said.

"What is it Pumyra?" Dobo asked.

"If I team up with Lion-o and we both win a fight or prove something to you or earn something during the fight we go free, if not I will stay and finish up the last of my fights." Pumyra said.

"That sounds good but I doubt you will prove anything to me, I think cat's don't know what it means to be loyal, but if it all turns out well you both shall be free. You two will be going up against a powerful creature." Dobo said.

The two cats were now in a cell and waiting for the fight. They stepped into the ring and saw the machine it was a large creature. It had sharp claws and teeth. "Okay let's start," Pumyra said.

"Let's go," Lion-o said.

The fight had started Lion-o was fighting to protect Pumyra. Pumyra had Lion-o's back.

Lion-o was injured and Pumyra came to his defense and fired a few shots with her wrist crossbow and the creature ran off back into its cage.

She helped him up.

"It seems loyalty is not just a trait of the dogs." Dobo said. "You both have won the fight and earned my respect you are both free cats," he said.

Lion-o was bandaged up by Pumyra.

Now things were looking up.
