Yay, another chapter. Enjoy it.
I own nothing cuz if I have had the show wouldn't have been canceled.
Previously on Thundercats (Scenes from the last episode).
Season 2 episode 1: New adventures part I.
I am Lion-O, the Lord of the Thundercats. It's been one month since Pumyra betrayed us. It's hard for me to believe it. Everybody else think about her as a traitor. But not me. I do not see her like that. And do you know why? Well... honestly, I have no idea. But I believe she has her own motives. I saw she is more than a... a traidor. She has a sensible part and I saw it. I hope it was not just a trick. My brother and Cheetara do not sustain me. Or that is what I think. I am sure Cheetara knows what's with me. She can read me like an open book. And I am a bit flattered, embarrassted and relieved. If she knows then probably Tygra know too. It would be impossible for her not to talk about this with her mate. A part of me is angered but another part is... relieved and I feel gratitude for their concern. Panthro... probably he doesn't actually care about Pumyra but about how we can put our paws on the last stone and win the war against Mumm-Ra. The kittens are very smart for their age but I am sure that everything they want is to go in that place, El Dara, or something like that.
Right now we are in the Feliner, flying over the planet's surface. Tygra control everything with Cheetara near him, Panthro tries not to look outside the window. Ironically enough to don't knows how to swim and to be afraid of heights. The kittens are playing with some devices the birds gave them and I am thinking about Pumyra, the one I still love after everything she put me go through. Anyway, we left the Avistans 2 hours ago and all the animals promised to help them to become accustomed with the life down here. The Berbiles did a great job repairing some of the necessities but they still have a lot to do. And we as well.
I got up from my chair. I thought no one was paying attention to me. I was wrong however because Cheetara asked me
"Where are you going?"
"In my room. I want to rest."
And with that I left not paying attention to them.
I got to my room. It was not to big. I have seen closets bigger than our rooms. It had only a bunch, a desk and a chair. Near it I have my bathroom. Thanks God, all of us have his/her own bathroom. I went towards the bed, carefully not to wake up Snarf who was sleeping near my bed. I climbed in it and once again I started thinking about Pumyra.
"Why can't you stay out of my mind, Pumyra?" I asked no one in particular. Snarf woke up and climbed into my lap.
"Hey, buddy. Did you have a nightmare?" I have no idea if he could dream but I asked him because I was bored.
"Mewww"
I like it when he does that. It is like he answer me. Well at least Snarf likes me. I hope.
"I can't help it, Snarf. I think about her always."
"Mewww"
"I know I shouldn't but... I... I really love her, Snarf. And I hoped she will be my mate, my queen. And... despite everything... I still do. I cannot hate her."
"Mewww" he says and launch from my lap.
"You think I'm crazy, don't you?"
"No one think you crazy for falling in love, Lion-O."
I looked around and I saw Jaga. Or his spirit. Or soul. Or whatever it... he is now.
"What are you doing here, Jaga?"
"My duty, of course. It is alright to fall in love with someone."
"Even if that someone is a traitor?"
"You do not think about her as a traitor."
"Yeah. I... I cannot."
"Pumyra had her motives, Lion-O."
"I guess you are right. But..."
"You need to find out alone. Next time when you meet, cofront her. Talk to her."
"Thank you, Jaga."
And he disappeared. I'm again alone with my thought and Snarf.
"What do you say, buddy?"
"Mewww"
I sighed and put my head on the pillows.
(On the main deck)
I (Tygra) continued to pilote the Feliner. I am concerned for Lion-O. I am his brother. I am supposed to protect him. Well, I am not to good at it. Like she read my thoughts, Cheetara says
"It was not your fault, Tygra. You couldn't know."
"It is my duty, Cheetara. And I disappointed him. I disappointed my father. What a brother I am!"
"Do not talk like this. You are a great brother. You protected and helped Lion-O more times I could count."
"She is right, you know?" Says Panthro. I had no idea he was listening. Heh, that is the life.
Lion-O enter right before I had a chance of answering.
"Something new?" He asked like everything was alright, but it was not. At least I know it now. Better later than never.
"A village at 5 miles away" answered Panthro.
"Good. Let's go there. We need provisions."
We all agreed and soon arrived at the village. I landed as well I could. A woman was forthcoming to us.
The woman had brown hair, green eyes and orange skin. Her ears were pointed and she wore a dark blue dress with a white belt. I guess she is around 30 years old but she looked stunning. Please do not tell Cheetara. Anyway, when she spoke we observed her voice was sweet and caring.
"Hello. My name is Ayara. How are you and what are you doing here?"
"I am Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats. They are Tygra, Cheetar, Panthro, WilyKat and Kit and Snarf."
"Welcome to my village, Craius. It's a pleasure to finally meet the Thundercats."
We bowed and she let us in. I asked her
"Ayara, is there a place were we could stay? And from were we could take some supplies for our journey?"
"Yes. I am an Inn-keeper and I could host you a while."
"Thank you - said my brother - but we have a little problem with the money. We have..."
"Oh, it's okay, I understand. You and this charming Tiger look powerful. I guess you could pay me by helping me to hunt. The deers from hete are delicious."
"Well... um... why not? How about you, Tygra?"
I sighed but a hunting mission eas good for him. To take his thoughts away from Pumyra.
"Yeah, sound's good."
"Perfect. We will go tomorrow in the morning. Wake up earlier."
She took us to her inn and gave us some rooms. Me and Cheetara chose to share one, Panthro said he will stay with the kittens to make sure they were not going to blew up the inn and Lion-O was left alone. Well he was left with Snarf.
We ate something and went to bed. The bed wasn't to comfortable but I had Cheetara there so I don't complain. *ahem* ...
Next morning we wake up early. Actually, Lion-O was the one who woke me up. I was gripped by dreams when he came to my door.
"Five more minutes!" I groaned for about 10 minutes before Cheetara wake me up with a sweet kiss on my cheek.
"Okay, okay, I'm up."
I dressed quickly and Cheetara got back to sleep. A part of me envy her for her longer sleep but the other part is happy. My beautiful cheetah wife deserve aome rest. So I get out from our room as silent as I can.
"Morning, everyone!" I say down stairs only to look embarrassed around me, seing me, my brother and Ayara were the only ones there. I cleared my throat.
"Sooo - Lion-O start - where are we going?"
"At about 2 miles from the village's walls. There, near the mountains we will be able to catch the pray easier."
We ate breakfast in silent and went to hunt.
LION-O's POV
Right now we are in a forest. Everything seems to be alright. Well, almost everything. My brother is being very quiet and this is odd. He is so unlike him. He didn't do any remarks about me and I feel strange about it.
"Did you smell that, Lion-O?"
"Um... no..."
He caught me off guard. "What did you smell?" I asked.
"A lizard."
I concentrated and smelled and
"Yes, I feel it to."
"How are you doing that?" Asked Ayara.
"Every animal has a different scent. They had the scents almost the same. We, cats can smell a lizard between another dozents of animaps with ease. But I'm not able to say from where the scent is coming." I explicated. I hope she is not more confused than she was before.
"I see. Well, the lizards often come in our village and forest so I am not surprised you two actually smelled one. I guess their scent is everywhere."
She is not confused. Not at all. But she isn't honest. I felt the same scent in her inn. And on the streets. I think she is hiding something from us. And I plan to find out.
The rest of the hunt went well. We finished after at least 2 hours and got back to the inn. As I suspected, Cheetara was waiting for Tygra. When we entered the inn this happened:
"TYGRA!"
And she practically jumped on him. I am a bit jealous. Do not misunderstand me! I am nit jealous on their relationship. I am happy for them. But somethimes I wish I had Pumyra here. And to be mated with her. Hmmm...
TYGRA's POV
It was afternoon. I went outside to check in Lion-O. He was staring at the sky.
"What are you doing here?"
"Nothing."
"You were thinking about her, weren't you?"
I reached a sensitive spot.
"What do you want, Tygra?"
"To make sure you are okay."
"Well I am. Now you can leave me alone."
"She betrayed us, Lion-O."
He turned at me and said
"You will never change!"
"I'm just telling you the truth!"
"No! You are just making everything worse."
"Lion-O..."
"Stop! Leave me alone!"
"I am your brother! I should protect you. Please, Lion-O, tell me what happened to you."
He sighed and told me about his little chat with Jaga and about his opinion.
"You think I'm crazy for believing that, don't you?"
"No, I think you are right."
"If there is a chance for us, for her, we, I won't stop."
"You do love her, don't you?"
"Yes!"
And for now this is all. I hope you like it. Tell me what you think. Read and review please.
