A/N: Sorry for the delay. I guess from now on just expect something on the weekends. Thanks!
Chapter 3
The Chimera appeared in front of the Tower of Omens and let out a ferocious roar. Pumyra didn't recognize the sound as one of the other Thunderians and she turned to Lynx-O.
"What was that?" The puma asked as the lynx worked furiously on the Braille Board. When he didn't answer right away, she moved next to him. A hideous creature came into view on the screen.
"What in Thundera?" Pumyra asked.
"What's going on?" Ben-Gali and Tygra wondered as they ran over toward the two. They'd just come up from the newly completed barracks in the Tower's basement. Before either one could answer, the Chimera opened its mouth and shot flames at the ThunderCats' fortress.
"Rowr!" The white tiger was surprised at what the creature could do.
"Quick! Describe to me what it looks like!" Lynx-O ordered. The three did their best to do as he said.
"THUNDERCATS! COME OUT AND FIGHT, IF YOU DARE!" The creature outside growled at them.
"It's a Chimera." Lynx-O said but that was all he got out before the mythological beast again unleashed its fiery breath on the Tower of Omens.
"We must fight. I'll grab the recruits. Pumyra stay here. Tygra, Lynx-O come on." The two rushed off downstairs before Pumyra could object. She knew that in order to protect her cub she must stay behind but she hated to watch the other fight without her.
WWWWWWWWWWWWW
Lion-O pulled the Sword of Omens out of the Claw Shield and was about to see what the trouble was when Mumm-Ra appeared before him.
"You miserable mummy!" The Lord of the ThunderCats snarled.
"Yes, Lion-O, I'm here to finish what I started. You and the rest of the ThunderCats will be eliminated." Mumm-Ra smirked.
"Lion-O!" Cheetara, the ThunderKittens, and Snarf appeared next to him on the steps of Cat's Lair.
"Ah so the others are here to join you. Excellent." The ever-living source of evil smirked.
"Ho!" Lion-O shouted as the blade of the Sword of Omens extended to its full length. Mumm-Ra raised his hands and shot energy blasts at the ThunderCats. They scattered and regrouped in a fighting formation.
"Ho!" Lion-O commanded and the Sword shot out energy blasts. Mumm-Ra easily avoided it. All he had to do was to hold them off until the Chimera could come. It was then that he heard an unfamiliar noise.
A battle cry rose up from a large group of recruits as they charged toward Cat's Lair. Panthro was leading them.
"Mumm-Ra! We're coming for you, you worthless pile of bones!" The panther shouted. Soon the recruits were spilling onto the open space in front of the staircase. Lion-O knew the only way to get an advantage over Mumm-Ra would be to force him off the steps and down into the recruits. With any luck, the mummy would have to keep his feet on the ground to fight. The Lord of the ThunderCats moved quickly and the others followed suit.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Back on Third Earth, the other ThunderCats were fighting and losing. The Chimera's Thundrainium soaked feet and mouth was causing them to be weak and dodging the blasts of flame was difficult. Ben-Gali shot energy blasts at the creature from his Hammer of Thundera but they didn't seem to be doing any good.
"How are we supposed to defeat this thing?" He asked Lynx-O as the two took cover.
"There are many different versions of the Chimera's defeat but I'd say the most plausible would be to somehow get a block of lead inside the creature's mouth so it will suffocate." The lynx answered.
"Where in Thundera am I going to get a block of lead and how am I supposed to get it in the Chimera's mouth?" Ben-Gali asked. Lynx-O just shook his head.
"I don't know." His friend told him. Suddenly, the white tiger had an idea.
"I have to get back inside the Tower. Maybe I can melt the extra weapons and hope that titanium will do the trick. Continue to hold him off until I get back." Ben-Gali said. Lynx-O nodded and went back out to join the fray while the blacksmith rushed back inside.
