Thundercats of Elsweyr

A/N: Hello everyone, Sonicfighter here and once again, bringing you another chapter of Thundercats of Elsweyr. In this chapter our heroes finally find the Tower of Omens with the mythical Book of Omens hidden inside. But they must first pass through a series of traps in order to get the Book. If that wasn't bad enough, the Deadric Princes, Mehrunes Dagon and Molag Bal are hot on their tails to get the Book first. Once again, I don't own the Elder Scrolls series or Thundercats. They belong to their rightful owners. I only own the Dragon Shield.

Chapter 9: The Traps and the Tower of Omens


2 days have gone by since the Thunderians and the Dragon Shield along with Panthro rescue the Wood Elves and shut down the steel production at the Cloud Peak Mines to slow the Imperials down.

The leader of the Wood Elves point the way to where the location of the Book of Omens is said to be hidden.

2 days later, they're at a clearing with a large mess of vines in front of them.

"Jaga's clues have gotten us this far." Cheetara said to the others. "Now it's up to Lion-O to get us the rest of the way."

"I hope." Pumyra said to Cheetara as they look at their king.

"Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight." Lion-O said as he place the Sword close to his face, the hilts extends and The Eye of Thundera and his eyes glows. But all Lion-O see is nothing through the swords reflection.

"Alright, lets try this again." Lion-O said to himself as his patience slowly grows thin.

"Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight." Lion-O said again as he look into the Sword, but again it shows nothing.

He growled in frustration and shook the Sword a few times. "Come on, work!" Lion-O said impatiently.

"So, are you telling us that our only chance to find the Book of Omens is in his Sword, gives him directions?" Panthro said to the others.

"Yeah, it's about as hopeless as it sounds." Tygra said to the general.

"Lion-O can get us there. He just need to believe in himself, Tygra." Leona said to Tygra.

"And it'll also might help if you do the same." Cheetara also said to Tygra as he continue looking at his little brother.

"Sword of Omens, give be Sight Beyond Sight." Lion-O said as he try again and look into the Sword.


Meanwhile, Mehrunes Dagon watch the young king in his fortress in a mirror as the Deadric Prince of Destruction laugh.

"Foolish boy, you have no idea that the Eye of Thundera is nothing but a rock in your incapable hands. But the Eye, my beloved weapon, will be mine again. I forged it from my own hands. " Mehrunes said to he image of Lion-O as he remember making the Eye in the first place, but it goes by a more different name, Mehrunes Hammer.


(Flashback 300 years ago)

It is the height of the Oblivion Crisis and Mehrunes Dagon watch his Deadric army attack the other races of Tamrel from his realm of the Deadlands. The Deadric Prince watch a High Elf in Dagon Shrine. With a male lion next to his side.

Then a male tiger with an eye patch on his right eye and also wearing a Mythic Dawn outfit appears in front of the Elf

"The army is near the fortress, my lord." The tiger said to the High Elf

"Good. Let no one stand in your way, Captain Tygus." The Elf said to one of his followers with a malicious smirk.

Elsewhere, Tygus lead an army of Deadric soldiers along with Mythic Dawn soldiers to a fortress held by a medium sized army of Nords, Breatons and High Elves as the gates closed shut.

The archers on the ramparts fired their arrows at the army, causing a few causalities.

Then, Tygus pulled out a small red jewel from his pocket. It's a size of his fist and resembles an eye.

It's called Mehrunes Hammer, a jewel created by the Deadric Prince to disseminate an entire army, or in this case, to tear down a fortress wall.

Tygus put his arm in front and the jewel glows and let out a powerful blast. The blast strikes the wall and created a large breach in the wall. Those behind the wall are crushed by the falling stones.

Tygus then ordered the army to attack the fortress as they charge into the breach and butchered everyone, both armed and defenseless.

"The fortress have fallen, my lord." Tygus said to the High Elf as the fortress is burn to the ground as the elf smirk evilly.

"Excellent." Mehrunes said to himself. Soon, all of Tamriel well be his and no one can stop him.


(End Flashback)

"And soon. It will be mine once again." Mehrunes said as he walk away from the mirror and the image of Lion-O vanish.

He then extends his arms and transform into a raven and started to fly out of his island fortress to the Mythic Dawn army.


Back with Lion-O and the others, the Thunderian king finally gives up.

"This is dumb! I don't even know what I'm suppose to look!" Lion-O said in frustration.

"Lion-O, sometime when you look too hard, you forgot what's in front of you." Cheetara said as she walk to Lion-O.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Lion-O said to the cleric as Cheetara went close to him.

"If you can master Sight Beyond Sight, it'll show you what your eyes can't see. But your mind have to be open in order to do show." Cheetara said to Lion-O as she then whisper in his ear.

"Now try again Lion-O, and this time, relax."

The others can see that Cheetara is helping Lion-O with the Sword, but what she just whisper in his ear was unknown.

"You think that she's a bit too close?" Dilelc said to Bedaf.

"I guess." Bedaf said to the Breton archer.

"Alright, relax. Got it." Lion-O said as he close his eyes and relax.

Wilykat climb to the nearest tree and hang upside down close to Lion-O's face, surprising the king.

"Whatcha doin, Lion-O?" Wilykat said to Lion-O with a smile.

"I know what they're doing." Wilykit said as she make kissing sounds.

"No, no. It's not like that." Lion-O said to the Thunder-Kittens as he put the Sword into the gauntlet which is on Lion-O's waist. "She's just helping me to get my sword to work."

Kat then jump from the tree and landed next to her sister and Kit said to the Thunderian King,

"So why the Book of Omens is hard to find, anyway?"

"Yeah, did they forget where they put it or something?" Wilykat also said.

"In a way, yes." Cheetara said to the Thunder-Kittens. "You see, the Book of Omens wasn't really lost, rather it was hidden so that it'll never be found."

"Kind of like a forbidden knowledge or artifact, right?" Bedaf said to the cleric.

"Right, except it's not forbidden." Cheetara said to the Dragon Shield leader as she continue.

"According to legend, the Book of Omens held both clues to our past and keys to our future. Because some believe that the Book is even more valuable then the Sword of Omens, the other races of Tamriel would stop at nothing to get it. The king knew that it contains too much power to allow it to fall into the wrong hands. So he have the clerics to hide it far beyond the kingdom walls. Far beyond anywhere the Thunderians have gone. To keep the Book safe from outsiders, they build a temple, one made with magic. The Tower of Omens was inaccessible to anyone but themselves, and protected by ancient enchantments. They then sealed themselves inside the temple for all time. It's location is a secret they took to their graves."

"Maybe that's why Grune and I have never been able to find it." Panthro said, now knowing why they can't find the Book in the past.

"So we just get lucky and hope that we stumble onto it?" Tygra said.

"Pretty much, Tygra." Pumyra said to Tygra and looked around to find Snarf.

"Have anyone seen Snarf?"

"He's just getting himself a snack." Lion-O said to Pumyra as he pointed to Snarf on a branch as he try to pull a fruit off.

"Come on. Come on." Snarf said as he keep pulling the fruit.

With a final pull, Snarf finally got the fruit, but more fruits fall off and reveal a stone lion head.

"Whoa." Snarf said in surprise.

"Maybe we just did." Lion-O said to Tygra as he walk and pull the vines off, revealing a dark hallway.

"How did we miss that?" Cheetara said in surprise.

"Like you said, sometime when you look too hard, you forgot what's in front of you." Lion-O said to Cheetara as she smiled.

"Nice work Snarf." Lion-O said to Snarf.

"Thanks Lion-O." Snarf said to his friend as he then jump of the branch and landed on Wilykit they enter the hallway.


Ani use a Light spell to illuminate the way, but the Thunderians can see in the dark.

They soon came to a room with a bridge over a bunch of iron spikes below them. On the other side of the bridge is a door with a stone carving of a lion around it.

The Thunder-Kittens look down at the spikes and shiver at the though of being impaled by one of them.

Lion-O try to open the door, but it remain shut.

"Do you think they left a key?" Lion-O said to the others, wondering if the clerics left a key to the door.

"Actually Lion-O, they left a few of them." Tygra said to his brother as he pointed up.

Lion-O and the others look up and see hundreds of keys hanging on stings on the ceiling.

"Look like we need to try all of them." Cheetara said as she pull out her staff as it extends and move the keys, causing a few to fall in her hands.

"This'll take forever to find the right the one." Panthro said.

"I agree Panthro, but I got a bad feeling about this place." Pumyra said to Panthro as Cheetara try one of the keys as place it in the keyhole and turn it.

They then heard a sound, but it wasn't the door being unlocked, but a sound of grinding stone.

"I don't think we have forever." Tygra said to the others as he and the others saw the bridge beginning to retract.

"RUN!" Snarf shouted as he and the Thunder-Kittens ran to the others and the bridge continue to retract.

Before the bridge completely retract beneath their feet, Panthro and Bedaf grab the edge of the door as the others grab of them.

Lion-O hold to Panthro's belt while Cheetara grab his left leg.

Tygra is holding on Lion-O's ankle, Leona hold to Panthro's leg while the Thunder-Kittens are holding on her legs with Kit holding Snarf in her other hand.

Pumyra is holding on the generals back with her arms around her neck, being careful not to choke him.

Dilelc is hanging on Bedaf's back while Saheen and Ani hang on to his legs.

Lion-O look down at the spikes below and simply said,

"Whiskers." Either Panthro or Bedaf loose their grips, they'll be impaled like pigs.


Panthro struggle to keep his grip, trying hard not to let go while Bedaf does the same thing.

"Quickly, find the key!" Panthro said as his straight started to grow weaker.

"Yeah, we can't hang around here all day." Bedaf also said.

"Don't worry you two, leave this to the masters." Wilykat said to Panthro and Bedaf with a few lock-picks in his hand as his sister nodded and start climbing on Pumyra's back after Kat handed Snarf to Cheetara with one arm.

"Well hurry cause they're hundreds of keys to choice from." Pumyra said to the Thunder-Kittens as Wilykit got on top of Panthro's head, much to his discomfort and Wilykat stood on Kit's shoulder.

"Forget keys." Wilykit said to Pumyra as Kat start putting his lock pick in the lock. "Beside, why waste time look for the right key.."

"When you can just pick the lock?" Wilykat finished as he fiddles with the lock til he heard a click and he smiled.

The door then open and Wilykat and Wilykit jump into the hall.

The others follow too as Pumyra, Leona, Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara and Snarf jump up.

Lion-O then jump Panthro up with Tygra helping him.

Dilelc also got up as he, Leona and Pumyra help Bedaf, Ani and Saheen up into the hall.

Once everyone is up, the door close and the trap start to reset.

"That was a good idea using a lock pick, Kat." Saheen said to, impressed that he learn lock picking.

"Thanks Saheen." Kat said to the Argonian as he put his lock picks away.

"You know, if you like, you and your sister can join The Thieves Guild. They can use some of your talents." Saheen said to them.

"The Thieves Guild?" Wilykit said in surprise. "I don't know. They have a reputation of taking things that's not theirs. We on the other hand take what we need to survive."

"Fair enough." Saheen said as she follow the others and the Thunder-Kittens follows too.


After a few minutes of walking down the dark hallway, they soon came across another door which is the next trap.

Tygra use his strength to force the door open, leading to a stone hallway with a round stone at the end of the hall with a face carved on it.

"The Book can be just beyond that wall." Lion-O said to the others as he point to the end of the hall.

Panthro smirk thinking that this is easy as he started to walk, but as soon as Panthro step on one of the stone, it move and triggered another trap in a form of spinning blades as one is inches close to Panthro's face, shocking the general. Cheetara pull the general back and said,

"Legend said that the ancients made a series of obstacles near the temple. Meant to keep outsiders away."

"Then, this whole thing is a death trap." Panthro said to the cheetah. He figure if he and Grune found this place years before, they would've been killed on the spot.

"I don't think we're fast enough to go though all of that." Snarf said in fear as he look at the spinning blades.

"I agree, Snarf." Tygra said to Snarf.

Cheetara smirk and said, "Gotta move fast."

Cheetara started to run and close her eyes. As she open them, the blades slow down and she dodge them with ease. She have learn this trick while she was training as a Cleric at a young age. Though a few manage to cut a few of her hair, Cheetara dodge every blade to the end of the hall.

Cheetara then pull out her staff and extended it to two stone blocks which roll the stone back to reveal another door. The blades then stopped one by one and retract back into the wall.

When the last blade stop and move back into the wall, Lion-O and the others move to the door.

"Nice work." Lion-O said to Cheetara, congratulating her.

"Well done, Cheetara." Pumyra said as she patted her on the shoulder.

"I see your cleric training are finally pay off." Leona said as she congratulates Cheetara.

"Thank you, your majesty." Cheetara said to the ex-queen.

As soon as the others and the Dragon Shield run though the next hall, Cheetara detract her staff and ran after the others while a stone slab close behind her, sealing the way and the stone rolled back to where it once was as the trap reset itself.


Meanwhile 20 miles from where the Thunderians and Dragon Shield are, the Mythic Dawn have recovered after their fight with the Wood Elves 2 days ago. Now they need to find the Tower of Omens and get the Book for their master. Jeand is charged with the Dark Lantern to find the Tower, but for some reason, they've been going in circles for an hour. The light guiding the way turn back into Jaga.

"You've been leading us in circles you old wizard!" Jeand said to Jaga in annoyance.

"Me? Nonsense. Molag's power in this lantern is too great for an old man like me to fight." Jaga said to the leader of the Mythic Dawn. "I can't help light the way." Jaga chuckled to himself at his own joke.

Jeand growled at Jaga as he raise the lantern above his head, ready to smash it along with Jaga.

But he then heard a caw as he look up and saw a raven as the bird landed next to Jeand.

The raven then transform back into Mehrunes Dagon as Jaend knelled before the Deadric Prince.

"Careful with that, Brother Jeand. That lantern is as fragile as it withered and incompetent navigator." Mehrunes said to Jeand.

"He's toying with us, my lord." Jeand said to his Deadric lord. "He doesn't know the way to the temple."

"No. His mouth may lie, but his soul reveals the truth." Mehrunes Dagon said to his servant. "The books location have been pass down though the head clerics for generations. He knows the way. He require a little, motivation."

With that, Mehrunes unleash a lightning spell at Jaga.

"Torture me all you want." Jaga said to the Deadric Prince of Destruction. "But Lion-O and the others will have the Book, long before you or your servants reach the Temple."

After a few more seconds, Mehrunes stop his attack as the Lantern fall to the ground, but not enough force to shatter it. Jaga then turn into a beam of light, showing the true way to the Temple.

"Good. I'll order the others to move at once." Jeand said to Mehrunes before he grab the lantern and said severely to him,

"No. You and your men will stay here. Your incompetent have coast me enough."

"As you wish, my lord." Jeand said as he bow to Mehrunes as the Deadric Prince use the lantern to walk to the temple.

However, unknown to the Mythic Dawn, a few of the Molag Knights are spying on them.

"Molag want to hear about this." One knight said as the two quietly run back to camp where the Deadric Prince of Enslavement is feasting on a corpse of a dead bird.

"Sorry to disturb you, my lord. But we have information that might interest you." One knight said to Molag Bal as the two knights bow to him.

Molag Bal stop eating the corpse and wipe the blood off his mouth. "Lets hear it." Molag said to his knights. Eager to hear the info.

"Mehrunes is heading for the Temple for the Book of Omens is kept." One knight said to Bal.

"He also leave his servants behind to get the Book himself." Another knight said to Molag.

"So, Dagon went to get the Book for himself. Have a few Knights assembled and prepare to follow Mehrunes. If he get the Book before I or you do, it'll be on your heads." Molag said to his Knights.

"It will be done, my lord." The two knights said to the Deadric Prince of Destruction as they go to assemble a small team to follow Dagon. Molag look into the jungle and said to himself.

"Once I have the Book of Omens, I'll personally cast Mehrunes back to Oblivion, and all of Tamriel will be mine."


Back with the Thunderians and Dragon Shield, they enter a next room which have a small window with a ray of sunlight going into the room and reflecting off a small pool. The light when went to a lion's head with the light between the statue's eyes.

"Look like this is the next trap." Dilelc said to his comrades and the Thunderians.

"Yeah, but where's the trap? It's just a room with a small pool." Tygra said, seeing not a way to trigger another trap.

"Looks can be deceiving, Tygra." Cheetara said to the tiger.

The Thunder-Kittens run ahead of them and look into the pool to see a pile of coins on the bottom.

"Look, treasure!" Wilykit said to Kat in excitement as both Kat and Kit sees the money.

"We're rich!" Wilykat said as he reach into the water to grab the money.

"Wait!" Lion-O said to the Thunder-Kittens, knowing that this is another trap.

But Lion-O's warning came too late as the ripple reach the light as it moves and the light move away from the lion's head.

After the light moves to it's normal spot, the lion's eyes glows red and water begin pouring from it's mouth. More water started pouring out from the walls as the door is sealed shut by a stone slab and the room slowly started to flood.

"Everyone! Get climbing!" Lion-O ordered as he, the Thunderians and the Dragon Shield started climbing the blocks which they climb on.

The Thunder-Kittens notice Pantro shivering and Wilykat ask the general.

"You alright Panthro?"

"I-I never told you guys this, but I can't swim." Panthro said as he admit his fear.

As the water rise higher, Lion-O saw a small shaft at the top of the room.

"Up there. It's look like an exit" Lion-O said to the others as he point to the shaft. "We'll wait for the water to rise and float up to it."

"Good idea Lion-O, but the only problem is, this armor I'm wearing is pulling me down." Bedaf said to Lion-O as the weight of his armor started to drag him under.

"Try keeping your head above the water." Tygra said to the Nord.

Panthro start to panic as he splash around while Cheetara use her staff and try to force the shaft open.

"I can't reach it from this side." Cheetara said, seeing that her staff is not opening the exit.

"I don't think I'm gonna make it." Panthro said as he started to sink.

Lion-O swim after Panthro but as soon as he went deeper, his started struggling for air and start to swim back to the surface.

"Any luck, Lion-O?" Dilelc said to Lion-O.

"No. Panthro's gone." Lion-O said, seeing that he's unable to get to Panthro in time.

"I'll get him." Saheen said and started to dive after the Thunderian general.

"You think Saheen can find Panthro done there?" Wilykit said to Bedaf as the water climb higher.

"Don't worry. She's the best swimmer I know." Bedaf said to Wilykit as he struggle to keep above the water with his armor.

Pantro continue to sink to the bottom where the coins are at. Panthro saw a plug next the gold and smiled try to push it out. Saheen mange to see Panthro and said,

"Panthro, there you are."

Panthro look at the Argonian and tell her to follow him as both Panthro and Saheen went into the hole.

Back with the others, they struggle to get the exit open, but to no avail.

"I never though we'll be going down like this." Wilykat said, thinking that this is their last.

"We can't give up now. Keep pushing." Bedaf said as they continue trying to get the shaft open.

"I wish Panthro is with us." Wilykit said to herself.

Panthro and Saheen swim all the way to the top of the room and the general push the plug off.

"Finally." Panthro said, happy to be out of that room.

Then, Panthro and Saheen saw familiar hands poking out of the shaft.

"Hang on." Panthro said as he ran and pull the shaft off.

"Panthro." The Thunderians said, seeing that Panthro is still alive.

"Good thing not being able to swim have it vantages." Panthro said to the others.

"Well, it won't hurt if you're though how to swim." Deliec said Panthro as he and the others climb out of the flooded room.

"Thanks, but no thanks." Panthro said in denial.

"Well, I'll bet this door leads us to the temple." Lion-O said as he point to the door.

"Then what are we waiting for? The Temple of Omens awaits." Bedaf said as he, the Dragon Shield and the Thunderians ran to the door. When the reach the end, they're outside with a massive cliff on the other side with a waterfall in front of them and the jungle below them, but no temple.

"There's nothing here." Lion-O said in disbelief. "All those traps just to protect more jungle? Maybe no one can find this temple cause it doesn't exist!"

Lion-O's hands started to shake in anger seeing that their trip is all for nothing.

"Well, look on the bright side. At least this have a good view." Wilykat said as he look at the scenery, trying to lighten the mood.

"Indeed is does." Pumyra said to the Thunder-Kitten.

"Or maybe it takes more than physical traps to find it." Cheetara said to Lion-O as she place her hand on Lion-Os. "Believe in yourself, Lion-O. I do."

"Me too." Leona said to her son.

Lion-O takes a deep breath and pulled out the Sword of Omens as to extends to it's full length and place it close to his face.

"Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight." Lion-O said as the hilts extends and both the Eye of Thundera and his eyes started to glow. This time, Lion-O does see something in the swords reflection. It is himself and the others. Then see saw a stone switch a few feet below them.

"What did you see, Lion-O?" Leona said to Lion-O.

"There's a switch over there." Lion-O said to his mother as he look and saw the switch below.

"How are we gonna reach that?" Wilykat said, wondering how they're gonna reach the switch. They can't climb down to it cause it's too steep.

"I got this." Tygra said as he use his whip as it hit the switch.

Then, the switch moves and they heard a noise. They look at the waterfall and saw three panther heads coming out of the falls to reveal a tall structure of Thunderian design and stone columns rise from the jungle to form a path way.

"The Tower of Omens." Lion-O said on surprise. Look like the legend was real after all.

"At long last I finally found it." Panthro said as the Thunderians and the Dragon Shield walk to the tower.

"You mean 'we' found it, Panthro." Pumyra said to Panthro.

"Right, Guess all it took is the right partner." Panthro said.

The Thunderians and the Dragon Shield enter the Tower to see wooden planks forming a stair way to the top. A couple of them have rotted away by time.

"I gotta say Cheetara, the Clerics does know how to build this place." Bedaf said to the former cleric, impressed by the architecture of the Tower of Omens.

"Well, this is made out of magic like I said before." Cheetara said to Bedaf.

"The Book must be up there." Tygra said as he point to the top.

"You did it, Lion-O." Leona said to Lion-O, congratulating him.

"No, we did it." Lion-O said. "Because of all of us, we're able to find this place."

"Well said, Lion-O." Ani said to the Thunderian king. Suddenly, the Eye of Thunderia glows. Danger is near.

"Indeed." Said a familiar voice as the Thunderians and mercenaries turn to see Mehrunes Dagon holding the Lantern.

"And it is the last thing you'll ever do." Degon said to the heroes.

"Dagon." Bedaf said as he, Saheen, Delic and Ani draw their weapons.

"I lead him right to you. I am sorry." Jaga said to the others.

"Jaga, you're alive." Cheetara said, surprise that her master lives.

However, Mehrunes laugh and said, "He's hardly alive. He's no more but a vapor in a jar. And he's no longer of use to me."

Mehrunes then throw the lantern as it fly to the center.

"NO!" Lion-O, Leona and Tygra said in horror as Cheetara use her speed to grab the lantern just before it hits the ground.

"Nice catch, Cheetara." Pumyra said to the Cleric.

But then, a lightning hit Cheetara as she is knock to the pillar.

"Cheetara!" Lion-O said as he look to where the lightning came from.

He saw Molag Bal with 8 of his Knights by his side.

"Molag Bal." Tygra said in horror. He and his brother have hear stories about him, but to see him for real.
"Well, glad you made it, Molag." Mehrunes said to the Deadric Prince of Destruction.

"Indeed." Molag said to Mehunes Dagon.

"Wait, you two are working together?" Lion-O said to Molag Bal in surprise. He read that Mehrunes and Molag don't get along since they both hate each-other.

"We decide to put our differences aside for the same goal: the total destruction of Tamerial." Mehrunes said to the Thunderian king.

"In exchange, each of us will get half of the continent and do what we pleased with the survivors." Molag Bal also said to Lion-O.

"But how do you even get here in the first place?" Wilykat said to Molag. He know that Molag can't go into Nirn without using his Dark Anchors from Cold Harbor.

"I have different ways." Molag said to the Thunder-Kitten.

"Surrender and give us the Book of Omens, and we may spare your lives." Mehrunes said to the Thunderians and Dragon Shield.

They respond with the Dragon Shield, Panthro, Leona and Pumyra drawing their weapons. They will not surrender to the likes of the Deadric Prince of Destruction and Enslavement.

Molag just humph knowing that they made a poor choice as he order his knights,

"Kill them."

The Knights charge at them with swords drawn.

"Lion-O, let get the Book," Tygra said to his little brother.

Lion-O nodded as he and Tygra started to climb.

"You two go. Mehrunes Dagon is mine." Panthro said as he charge at Metrunes as he still remember the Deadric Prince made Grune betray him.

A knight attack Pumyra as she use her wrist-mounted crossbow to attack the weak points, but the pellets bounced off the knights armor. The knight swing his sword a few times at Pumyra but she dodge the blows and use her claws to make a scratch in his armor. She then kick the knights helmet and the knight fell to the ground.

Leona is busy with two knights as one start to flank her while another one block the ex-queens attack.

Leona saw the other knight coming and dodge just as the knight was about to strike her with his sword. The two knights hit each others swords and turn to face the former Thunderian queen. They both attack Leona and she block both attacks with her shield and sword. Using her strength, Leona push the knights off of her shield and go on the offensive as she thrust her sword into one of the knight's chest. She remove her sword as the knight fell down, dead.

Leona turn her attention to the other knight as he swing his sword around and go into a battle stance. Leona did the same as the two begin clashing swords.

A knight charge at Dilelc as the Breton archer fire a couple of arrows at the knight block a couple of them, but one struck the eye as the arrow enter's the knight's brain, killing him instantly.

Saheen is also busy with another Molag Knight as the Argonian block the knight's attack with her daggers. Thinking quickly, Saheen remove one of her daggers to stab the knight on his side and use the other dagger to stab it into the knight's exposed neck. She remove both of her weapons with blood on the blades and the knight fell down dead and she wipe the blood from her daggers.

Meanwhile, the other two knights are busy attacking Bedaf and Ani as they clash their sword at the Nord and High Elf. Bedaf block the the first Knight's attack with his axe and Ani use a light spell to blind her opponent as he use her dagger to slice the knight's neck. Bedaf on the other hand use his strength to throw the second knight off balance as he swing his axe at the knight's chest but he's armor protect him but the force of the blow is enough to knock the knight to the ground. Bedaf then rise his weapon and strike the knight's chest again, but this time, it is enough the kill his foe.

Panthro is busy fighting Mehunres Dagon as he swing his nun-chucks several times, but the Deadric Prince dodges and use his axe to attack the general, but Panthro block his attack using the chains of his weapons. Dagon then use his battle claw at Panthro, but he sees this and quickly dodge his attack and hit the Deadric Prince of Distraction in his face with his weapon. But that was a distraction as Dagon use his lower right hand to punch the general in the guts, making Panthro fly through the air and landed close to the Thunder-Kittens as they ran next to the fallen general and guard him.

The Deadric Prince of Distruction laugh at the two kittens.

"Fools. You think you can defeat me?" Dagon said to the Thunder-Kittens as he raise his axe above his head and strike the ground making an earthquake as Wilykit and Kat feel to the ground.

"Pachitc." Mehrunes said not impressed.

Snarf meanwhile is hiding behind a wall as he look at the battle.

"This isn't good." Snarf said to himself.

Molag Bal on the other hand look up and see Lion-O and Tygra running up the stairs to the Book of Omens at the top.

The Deadric Prince of Enslavement then use his magic to make shadow wings on his back as he flap creating a powerful wind to knock the heroes to the floor and started to fly twords the two brothers.

Molag then use a lightning attack to destroy a few stairs behind Tygra. The tiger prince sees Molag and pull out his whip and a throwing knife as he crack his whip making him invisible as he wait to attack.


Meanwhile back on ground level, The Thunderians (minis Cheetara) and the Dragon Shield recover and attack Dagon with everything they have. The Thunder-Kittens pull out small pellets from their pockets and throw them at the Deadric Prince. The pellets exploded as they make contact with Dagon as he back up.

Dilelc, Pumyra and Ani attack Mehrunes with their magic and projectiles, but he hold out his upper right hand, causing them to stop in mid-air, making them shock.

Dagon smurk as he close his hand and the arrows and pellets disintegrated into dust, and Ani's magic vanished before their eyes.

Seeing his oppenents as annoyances as they are, Mehrunres Dagon unleashed a powerful blast, knocking the heroes off of their feets.

The Deadric Prince look up and saw Molag casing Lion-O.

"Two can play at that game." Dagon said as he telepoted.

"Hey! Come back and fight you coward!" Bedaf said to Mehrunes.

"Uh, guys, I think this is a distraction to prevent us from helping Lion-O." Wilykat said to the others.

"Lion-O!" Leona said in shock. "We need to help him and fast."

"Well, let's waste no time." Saheen said as she and the Dragon Shield start climbing the holes, which the woods are suppose to be. "Wait for us." Wilykit said as she, her brother and Snarf climb of Panthro's back and the general start climbing. The other Thunderians follow suits except for Cheetara who is still knocked out from earlier.


Lion-O continue climbing up the stairs with Molag on his tail, but before the Harvester of Souls could reach Lion-O, he felt something grabbing his leg and dragging him down. Then without warning a throwing knife appear, but Molag swat is out of the air and use a lighting attack on where the knife came from. Tygra shot in pain as he became visible. Molag Bal shakes the tiger off his leg, but Tygra use his whip as it wrap around the Deadric Princes leg.

"You won't get rid of me that easy." Tygra said to Molag.

Annoyed by this, Molag use a lighting attack again at Tygra. The force from his attack is enough for the whip to unwrap and Tygra started to fall.

But Panthro manage to grab Tygra by his foot.

"Hey, Tygra. Need a lift?" Snarf joke to Tygra.

"Now's not the time for jokes, Snarf." Tygra said to Snarf.

Lion-O smiled seeing that his brother is safe, but he saw Molag Bal heading his way.

"Molag Bal." Lion-O said as he continue climbing.


Lion-O soon reach the top of the Tower of Omens to see the floor decorated in different designs. The Thunderian king look up to see a small cage above him. Inside is a red book with a unique cover and a red jewel in the center. It's the legendary Book of Omens itself. An artifact thought to be a myth told around the cook fires, but after centuries, the Book is found as Lion-O smiles.

Suddenly, Mehrunes Dagon appears before Lion-O and Molag Bal flies next to him.

"The Book of Omens and it's powers belongs to us, boy." Molag said to Lion-O, seeing that he's no match against two of the most dangerous Deadric Princes in all of Tamriel.

However instead of surrendering, Lion-O drew the Sword of Omens as it once again change from a dagger to a full sword and shout,

"Thundercats! HO!"

The Sword starts shooting lightning and the Eye of Thunderia glows.


At the bottom of the Tower, Cheetara wakes up and her eyes glows yellow for a bit, sensing that Lion-O's in trouble. Cheetara started to run at an incredible speed that she run around the walls of the tower going up.

"Whoa. I've never seen anything like that before." Bedaf said in surprise as he and the others saw Cheetara speeding pass them.

"That's because only we Thunderians can have that." Pumyra said to the nord. "You see, when a king use the Sword, he can call on his fellow Thunderians for help."

"Impressive." Ani said to Pumyra.

Panthro notice that Tygra have his mouth open in surprise as the General smirk and said,

"Close your mouth kid, your drooling."

Tygra close his mouth as they resume climbing.


Back at the top of the Tower, Mehrunes Dagon strikes the ground with his axe, creating an earthquake, but Lion-O moves out of the way.

Molag Bal charge at Lion-O with his mace as he attack him, but Lion-O blocks his attack as he went of the offence and stikes at Molag a couple of times and Bal blocks every one of them. Mehrunes Dagon charge at Lion-O with his axe as Lion-O parrys his attack and strike at the Deadric Prince. Metrunes back away and Molag use a lighting attack at the Thunderian king as Lion-O once again block the attack with his sword.

Then, Cheerata leaps on top of the Tower and strikes Mehrunes Dagon in the head with her foot.

Dagon growled in annoyance at the cheetahs attack and use a lighting attack at Cheetara causing her to drop the Dark Lantern and she fell to the edge of the tower. Luckly, she manage to grab on to the edge.

"Cheetara!" Lion-O said as he ran to help Cheetara.

But Lion-O didn't see Molag using his lighting attack at him as it stikes the Thunderian king on his back as he scream in pain, much to Molag Bal and Mehrune Dagon's delight.

Lion-O drop the Sword of Omens and he fell to the floor.

Mehrunes and Molag laugh as Mehrunes said to Lion-O,

"You amuse me boy, You're just like your father."

"What do you know about my father, you monster." Lion-O said to the Deadric Prince of Destruction.

"Only that I kill him!" Metrunes said to Lion-O as he grab Lion-O's face and raise him up. "And now, you'll be joining him."

Lion-O reach for the Sword of Omens as the Eye start to glow and the sword started to rise. But Molag Bal but his foot on the sword, preventing it to help it's master.

Mehrunes Dagon started to crush Lion-Os head, as Lion-O started feeling the pressure and screams.

"No. The boy is not ready. He can't win this alone." Jaga said as he sees Lion-O in trouble.

Using the last of his magika, Jaga started glowing, creating a bright light which casue Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon to scream in agony.

"The light! It burns!" Molag screams as he covers his face from the light.

"This isn't over!" Mehrunes said as he turn into a raven and fly away and Molag change into a bird and fly away as well.

As the light dims, Lion-O see Cheetara struggling to get back up and he helps her.

Just then, Tygra, Leona, Pumyra, the Thunder-Kittens, Panthro, Snarf and the Dragon Shield made it to the top of the Tower.

Cheetra look and gasped in shock as she sees the Dark Lantern with the glass orb shattered due to Jaga's magic.

"Jaga." Lion-O said, seeing his and his brothers adviser is now gone.

"No." Leona whispered. She couldn't believe that she and her late husband's most loyal friend is dead.

Cheetara grab the lantern and hug it close to her as a mother to her child.

"He sacrificed himself to save you. To save all of us." Cheetara said to Lion-O and the others.

Lion-O lower his head as the others does the same in honor to their fallen friend while Bedaf remove his helmet.

Then, a small green light appears from the Lantern and started floating to the Thunderians.

"Look." Tygra said as he saw the small light flying pass them.

"Jaga." Lion-O whispered as he know that the light is Jaga's spirit. The light then flew pass the Dragon Shield and went to the Book of Omens at the top of the room.

The light enters the Book as the cage started to lower at the Thunderians and the Dragon Shield.

Once it stop, Lion-O look at his brother, mother and Cheetara as they nodded at him and Lion-O walk toward the Book of Omens and grab it.

"At long last. We have the answers." Lion-O said to his friends and family as he open the Book.

"Well? What does it say, Lion-O?" Tygra said to his brother, eager to know what fabled Book of Omens have in store.

"It said...nothing." Lion-O said as he sees that the pages are all blank. "It's blank."

"What!?" The Thunderians and the Dragons Shield said in shock, not believing what they just heard.
"Let me see that." Leona said as he grab the Book from Lion-O and reads the Book.

"I-I don't understand." Leona said in disbelief. "This book is suppose to hold the answers to our problems."

"We traveled all this way for an empty book?" Delilc said, thinking this adventure was a complete waste.

"No, There's got to be an explanation for this." Cheetara said to the others.

"I hope you're right, Cheetara." Pumyra said to the former cleric. If the Book of Omens is blank, how can they read it?
