by Jet556

Fourteen years after Mumm-Ra's final defeat, Balor has been Chieftain of Evabon for a whole year and his marriage to Brigid is fast approaching. Loyalists of the late Alaksandu seek to replace Balor with Orsino, former herald of Mumm-Ra. Turning to necromancy they resurrect Mumm-Ra and march on Wilusa on Balor and Brigid's wedding day.

21. Tambours of Danger

Welcome back everyone. Just one more chapter to go! Enjoy and review.

Tambours of Danger

Tambours were beaten. They told of the approaching danger. It was the danger of war! The war to take back Wilusa! Balor had arrived at a camp without the Pike of Light. He was sorry to reveal that it was a myth. Lion-O looked at Gard as he stroked his chin. This was bothering him. Evabon could not use the Sword of Omens, no one but a Lion could. How was anyone to defeat Mumm-Ra save for Lion-O?

"Well, looks like I have to put an end to Mumm-Ra again." Lion-O stood up from his seat and held up the Sword of Omens. The ThunderCats saved the world before now we have to do so again.

"Sit back down, Lion-O." Gard didn't even look at Lion-O. He just continued to stroke his chin. "If Mumm-Ra had started at Thundera again then it would be your right to destroy him but he started at Wilusa so he is the problem of all the Wilusan clans!"

"Not just the Wilusan clans, Gard." Said Balor. "The Albalongan, Lothbrokian and Garoh clans are coming to our aid." There was a look of shock on everyone's faces. Even Zuvowang who had been to Albalonga was in shock.

"All of the clans… of every Evabon nation… This is incredible." Zuvowang looked at Tygra who was standing next to him. "Can you imagine if every cat clan came to the aid of Thundera when it was under attack by Mumm-Ra?"

"I'm happy they didn't." replied Tygra. "I have changed for the better since then. I've gained a better appreciation for other races that I never would have gained if Thundera had not fallen." Tygra's answer caused Zuvowang to nod. He was quite right. "And besides, I've got some interest in that contraption Dalv is working on, the on he said Antaeus used at the battle of Elfshima. How exactly does one make a weapon out of mirrors?"

"Not the mirrors, Tygra." Corrected Gard. "The sunlight! That will be our weapon!"

"But what about Mumm-Ra?" asked Balor. "Surely, we cannot destroy him with sunlight."

Gard looked down. He had yet to think of something. It seemed like everyone was looking to the elders for answers today. Lion-O was the one who had ended Mumm-Ra before, they could have at least asked him.

But they didn't. The young people weren't being asked questions. Only the elders!

A sound then came to everyone's ears. The tambours in the middle of the camp were being beaten faster. The enemy was approaching!
