A/N: I'd just like to say Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers out there. I know I'm going to enjoy the turkey and pie when I get home and I hope you do too. :)

Chapter 14

Lion-O worked his way through the tunnels of Mumm-Ra's black pyramid. His thoughts raced as he hoped that he could get rid of the mummy and give back everyone's strength without endangering any lives. Finally he found himself in the main chamber and looked at the sarcophagus. The lid was closed but he doubted that Mumm-Ra was still in it. Lion-O moved closer and saw that the Sword of Omens' seals had been broken. The mummy was loose.

"Ah so you thought you could keep me in there, did you?" Mumm-Ra's voice came from behind him and the Lord of the ThunderCats whirled around to find that the mummy had already transformed.

"I knew it wasn't going to hold you but it served its purpose." Lion-O smirked and pulled the Sword from the Claw Shield.

"So now we fight as always. You tire me, Lion-O. You never have any imagination. It'll be nice to have you dead, a nice change in pace." The ever-living source of evil said. Lion-O smiled and his reply was something definitely out of the ordinary.

"Sword of Omens bring forth the Thunderian Ancestors!" Both watched as the pyramid shook and the cauldron boiled. The ground split in front of Lion-O and from it came four Thunderians. The tiger, lion, panther, and cheetah wore long, flowing white robes and looked as young as lion who had commanded their presence.

"As Lord of the ThunderCats, I command you to remove Mumm-Ra from this plane forever. Send him to the third plane!" Lion-O relayed the order and the Ancestors nodded. They raised their hands and spoke in a strange ancient language that Lion-O didn't recognize. However, Mumm-Ra did recognize it and he knew what was happening. The ever-living source of evil raised his own hands and tried to zap the Ancestors with an energy blast.

Lion-O saw what he was doing and jumped in front of the Ancestors. Using the Sword of Omens he deflected the blast and drew a force field around them. Mumm-Ra quickly, resorted to call on his spirits.

"Ancient Spirits of Evil, protect me from the ThunderCats' sorcery!" But the statues refused to move and it became obvious that they had been damaged when the Thunderian Ancestors made their appearance. Quickly, the mummy tried to improvise but it was too late.

"Send the evil from this plane! Banish him from this world forever! Let the Code of Thundera prevail! Let the world not be shadowed from Mumm-Ra! Let the light take over!" All the Ancestors shouted together. Suddenly a bright light flooded the pyramid and the mummy was reduced to his bandaged self. Then the Ancestors raised their hands above their heads and they shouted.

"Be gone evil demon! To the empty plane where you cannot do anymore harm!" Lightening struck the ever-living source of evil and trapped him inside a clear triangular prism.

"Lord Lion-O, command the Sword of Omens." The cheetah spoke to him. He nodded and lifted the Sword.

"Sword of Omens sent the evil to where it belongs!" The Eye of Thundera roared and the Cat Signal appeared. Mumm-Ra pounded on the sides of his prison but it was no use. Lion-O watched as the prism and ever-living source of evil disappeared. With the evil gone, the pyramid began to crumble down around them.

"Come on, we have to get out of here!" Lion-O told them.

"Go Lord Lion-O. We will be fine. Call the others." The tiger smiled and the four disappeared into thin air. Quickly, the lion raced out of the room and toward freedom. Once outside, he watched as the symbols of Mumm-Ra's power fell. The pyramid and obelisks sank into the sand. The desert began to change into fertile grasslands and trees sprouted up where before only the cacti could prosper. Lion-O watched in amazement at the scene before him. Then he brought the Sword of Omens across his body.

"Thunder," Another move sent the Sword out to the side.

"…Thunder," The third brought it down in front of him where he grabbed it with both hands.

"…Thunder," The final move was to thrust the Sword above his head.

"THUNDERCATS HO!"
