Chapter 10
Meanwhile, Mumm-Ra landed at his pyramid and entered through the secret passageway in the side of the triangular building. He wound his way through the tunnels until he arrived at the place he'd been looking for, the cells.
"Rest here you powerful little she-cat. I do not envy the headache you're going to have when you wake up." The ever-living mummy smirked as he placed inside one of the ancient cells and locked the bars behind him on his way out. Then he turned and headed for the main chamber. Some rest was in order after that trying ordeal.
Upon entering what should have been his final resting place, he immediately sensed something wasn't right. A presence lurked in the darkness.
"So you thought you could come here for your little friend huh? Well I'm not entertaining any of those thoughts, you traitor." Mumm-Ra spoke to the shadows. From his hiding place behind one of the Ancient Spirits of Evil, Ma-Mutt revealed himself.
"What is it to be then? Death by dog? You know you can't kill me, no matter how much you want to." The mummy taunted him, which only made the ever-living dog snarl at his former master.
"Growl at me all you want but you won't be able to stop me by yourself. You don't have it in you." Mumm-Ra shook his head and opened his sarcophagus. It was then that Ma-Mutt charged at his old owner. However, the ever-living source of evil easily deflected his attack with one sharp blow to the dog's midsection.
"Ha! Those ThunderCats have made you soft, you know that move would have never worked." But it seems that was exactly what Ma-Mutt was counting on. From his spot on the ground, near the sarcophagus, he bit down as hard as he could on Mumm-Ra's ankle. A bloodcurdling scream went up and bounced off the high ceiling of the main chamber.
That same scream woke Sahara from her unconscious state and she tried to look around at her surroundings. It was dim and her eyes needed to adjust before she realized, she was no longer inside the lizard's body.
"What happened? Where am I?" The litah wondered, hoping someone was nearby. She was out of luck however when no one answered her. Still a little foggy, she pulled herself up against the back wall of the cell and tried to clear the pain in her head.
Lion-O and Cheetara were on their way back to Cat's Lair in the ThunderStrike when the radio crackled to life.
"This is Leo, come in ThunderStrike." The Lord of the ThunderCats didn't want to pick up the handset but he knew that Leo wouldn't give up until he got a hold of someone.
"This is your father." Was all he said.
"Do you have Sahara?" The young cat wanted to know. Lion-O took a deep breath and prepared to answer. Cheetara put her hand on his shoulder to try to help him through what was about to come next. Then suddenly she cried out and let go.
"What's wrong?" The lion turned to her but got no response.
"ThunderStrike come in." Leo's voice was starting to sound nervous. He was ignored however as Lion-O set the ThunderStrike down to help Cheetara.
"Sahara…" the cheetah mumbled as she held her head. The Lord of the ThunderCats just looked at her in disbelief. Their baby was gone.
"She… she's alive!" Cheetara exclaimed. Lion-O was at a loss for words, this was a mean thing to be doing to him.
"She doesn't know where she is but…" then the cheetah stopped.
"I lost her again. I'm just not powerful enough." She sighed as tears formed in her eyes.
"Can you describe the place?" Lion-O asked.
"I think so." Cheetara said hopefully.
"Then lets get back to Cat's Lair." He told her.
