A New Evil

Chapter 1

It had been six months since the satellites had started communicating the wonderful news. There were more Thunderians out there and they were coming to New Thundera and Third Earth. Lion-O sat at the main sensors while Cheetara manned the satellite sensors.

The others were scouting new places that would prove to be solid ground to build homes. New Thundera wasn't without its dangers and the ThunderCats wanted everything mapped out. Lion-O picked up a message coming in from Third Earth. Putting it up on the video screen, the leader of the ThunderCats took the call.

"Lion-O, this is Ben-Gali. We have another ship coming in with fifteen Thunderians on it."

"Hey Ben-Gali, that's great. So how is married life treating you?" The Lord of the ThunderCats asked.

"Well it's not all its cracked up to be." The white tiger joked.

"I heard that." Pumyra interjected.

"Man you've only been married three months. I can't imagine what you two will be doing in twenty years." Lion-O smiled.

"If I live that long put me out of my misery." Ben-Gali continued to joke.

"I'm not deaf, you idiot!" Pumyra shouted in the background.

"How's life with you and Cheetara?" Ben-Gali asked avoiding the object that Pumyra was throwing at him.

"Pretty good. Watch out for that…" Lion-O didn't get to finish when a notebook clocked Ben-Gali in the back of the head.

"That's it woman!" The white tiger whirled around and grabbed his wife. She said something but Lion-O couldn't hear it. He watched the two pretend to fight and then they started to kiss.

"Hey shut the screen off. I don't need to see that!" Lion-O told them. Suddenly the call was cut off.

"What's going on over there?" Cheetara asked.

"Oh it was just Ben-Gali and Pumyra fighting like cats and dogs and then of course making up." The lion told her. Cheetara laughed.

"Its so good to see them like that." She smiled.

"How do you mean?" Lion-O asked.

"They are very much in love. They joke around and have a wonderful time no matter what they are doing." Cheetara explained.

"So what do we have?" He asked getting out of his seat.

"Well, I think that it's a little harder to describe." The cheetah smiled. She too, arose from her seat.

"We are serious when we have to be but there isn't any doubt that we don't display our emotions like they do. I think its because we want to be a little more private." Cheetara continued.

"Well I've always been known to wear my emotions right out on my sleeves." The Lord of the ThunderCats said pulling her into his muscular arms. Cheetara's response was to put her hands around his neck. They were just about to kiss when the female ThunderCat felt a sharp pain in her head. She pushed on his chest and Lion-O let her go. Cheetara backed up, her eyes wide with fear. The female ThunderCat let out a high pitched roar and stormed from the control room.

Lion-O went after her. He didn't even notice that the Sword of Omens was blaring a warning. Cheetara started to run at top speed through the corridors of New Thundera's Cat's Lair until she reached the main door. There she froze.

Finally, the Lord of the ThunderCats caught up to her. Cheetara turned to him. Her eyes had changed from only a few moments ago. Now she looked incredibly angry and she charged at him. Lion-O didn't want to hurt her but he had to stop her from hurting herself. Quickly, he grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. Unfortunately, Cheetara's other hand was free and she hit him. She hit him hard.

The lion stood his ground and grabbed her other hand. But Cheetara continued to fight him. She kicked at him and tried to free herself. Suddenly, just as her fit had begun, it was over. The female ThunderCat fell unconscious.

Lion-O gently scooped her up and carried her down to the sick bay. Placing her on one of the beds he quickly raced outside. Pulling the Sword of Omens from the Claw Shield, the Lord of the ThunderCats raised it above his head and shouted,

"Thunde, thunder, thunder, THUNDERCATS HO!" The Cat's Signal shot into the air from the Eye of Thundera summoning the others back to Cat's Lair.
