Chapter 14
"Ma-Mutt you old hound you!" Sahara threw her arms around the dog's neck and hugged him after Tyler had let go of her. He playfully licked her and the medical technicians both looked at Pumyra. She just shrugged and waved her hands a little bit to explain that she didn't know how that worked either. Tyler moved closer to the dog and patted him on the head.
"You had me worried you know?" He gave a slight smile. Ma-Mutt gave a small bark and raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "you were more worried about her".
"How long until he can run around?" Sahara asked finally letting go of him.
"Uh I don't know. I…" Pumyra didn't get to finish as Ma-Mutt hopped off the bed he'd been on.
"Now, I guess." The puma smirked.
"Come on boy! Let's go find Leo." The litah smiled and the two walked out of the room leaving everyone to scratch their heads at his miraculous recovery.
"There you are Leo. You sure have been hard to find." His sister said as she finally found him about half an hour later in the secure conference room. The younger litah shook his head. He had no idea how to tell her the news he'd received. When she saw the look on his face she knew there was trouble.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Dad has been hurt. Tygra has taken command of the troops. I have been ordered to remain here and wait for further instruction." He explained.
"How bad is he?" Sahara's eyes were wide with fear. She had just gotten her dog back, now was not the time to lose her father.
"I don't know. They won't tell me." Leo heaved a sigh. His sister fell into a nearby chair and Ma-Mutt quickly leaned on her legs, letting her know he was there.
"Can you contact him?" Her brother wondered.
"It doesn't work that way. I have to be able to be close to him in order to take over his body. And then someone has to watch my body and make sure nothing happens to it." She explained. Leo nodded. He knew she would do whatever she could have had she been able.
"I may not be able to reach Dad but perhaps I can reach mom." Sahara told him.
"How?" Leo wondered.
"Our sixth senses. I may be able to tap into hers." She said. Closing her eyes, the litah focused on reaching her mother. It could be dangerous for the both of them but they needed to know about their father.
"Mutants! Attack!" Rataro shouted and with that the ground invasion had begun. The best-trained ThunderGuard, with Hachiman leading them, met the invaders. Violence has erupted on New Thundera covering the ground with blood and the dead.
Hachiman forces appeared to be winning the battle along with help from the Evil Chasers and the ThunderTank. Tygra, Cheetara, WilyKit, and WilyKat watched from their secure positions.
"On my mark, we join our forces with Hachiman's and give them all we've got." Tygra turned to the troops behind him. They were WilyKat's to command but when the current Lord of the ThunderCats told them to do something, they would do it.
"All right soldiers, this is it. It has been an honor to serve with you. May victory come on swift wings and may Jaga help us all." WilyKat told them.
"Sir yes Sir!" They responded. It was then that Tygra held the Sword of Omens above his head and shouted,
"Thunder… Thunder… Thunder… THUNDERCATS HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
