Thundercats 2011 series- Thunder in your Heart

By Tayla Drago

Chapter # 25 - The Good Lizards

So many good things happened, you know? From the second stone of Earth spirits with Ralph the Rat 'part of the Fearsome Beasts of the Four Legend Warriors' was found within the hut of the astral plain for Lion-O has two now besides Leanora having the fire stone 'and being part of the Ring of Shoran', the Thundercats have done it with two more to find next. For Leon, the Dog of the water stone and Skips, the Fox of the air stone…With Grune beaten for good for Panthro lost two of his arms 'to getting it replace with machines back at the Berbils once everyone else had fun after saving the elephants who are now on their team'; for a happy day for the others including WilyKit, WilyKat, and Snarf to be happy about too and finally for Tygra and Cheetara are together in love at last leaving him and Britney to at least staying as good friends, as she and Lion-O are in love together.

So, during some treatment back at the Berbils' village to get some upgrades and Panthro to be treated – for Lion-O, Britney, and Snarf go into town to getting some supplies in town while helping Charolette find a mate of a male Tago Spider to be somewhere; as well as those two to be dating 'and Leanora to be hanging around during the time', their next journey is only the beginning for the third stone to be found. Guess that Cheetara, Tygra, WilyKit, and WilyKat stay put with Panthro with some upgrades to get with the Berbils' help and the arms of his as Lion-O, Britney, and Snarf travel around a nearby village and finding a mate for Charolette right away. And then continue with their journey after that. As Charolette was looking around for Snarf was resting for Britney to be singing while playing on her guitar of a song for Lion-O to hear her 'from America's Got Talent of Mandy Harvey - 'This time'. What? I like this song very much to be doing it.

Britney (singing): Nice to meet you are we flying?

Or is this all, in my head

I'm second guessing but I'm trying

Before it all, disappears

Seconds turn into minutes

Wasting time instead of living

Please, don't stand in my way

Cause I am running out of nowhere

Yes I'm moving on

I'm moving on

I'll lose the race if I wait

I'm so close that I can taste it

Yes I'm moving on

I'm moving on

Woah-oh-oh I'm running

This time I'm going to make it

Woah-oh-oh I'm running

This time

This time I'm going to make it

I'm not the same kid I used to be

Oh-oh-oh, this time I'm going to make it

I'm going to chase it for me

Seconds turn into minutes

Wasting time instead of living

Please, don't stand in my way

I am running out of nowhere

Yes I'm moving on

I'm moving on

I'll lose the race if I wait

I'm so close that I can taste it

Yes I'm moving on

I'm moving on

Woah-oh-oh I'm running

This time I'm going to make it

Woah-oh-oh I'm running

This time

This time

Woah-oh-oh I'm running

This time I'm going to make it

Woah-oh-oh I'm running

This time

This time

Nice to meet you are we flying?

With Snarf and Charolette liking the tone from Britney's amazing singing of hers, so did Lion-O to say something to surprise her for something he said sweetly to his girlfriend.

"Beautiful."

Britney felt shy on what Lion-O just said.

"Lion-O…! Sorry, I couldn't help myself but to sing." She said to feeling embarrassed. "It just something my Mom's friend who use to babysit me to sing that song a lot, I just happen to know it so well."

He laughs to be hugging Britney from behind.

"It's good. You really sound pretty when you sing." Said Lion-O. "It's even better for you and to go out together. The others are helping out Panthro get some arm replaces with the Berbils' help and some good machines to use on our next journey. That means we're dating by going out again."

That they were for both Lion-O and Britney to do just that while spending some time and running for some errands. Snarf loves seeing them together to be purring on Britney's arm to be patted and him to kiss him, while Leanora was seeing this to be minding her own business again…

"Yeah, and then something happens in between." She said.

"Leanora…" both Britney and Lion-O said together.

"What? Besides finding Charolette a mate and getting some supplies, we still need to watch our backs if any more trouble to come around."

That's true…after what Slithe, Grune, and the other lizards just came and attack the elephants' village to getting the second stone to be so much going on. You know, happening out of nowhere type of thing? For the Thundercats and those who're helping them out needed to be more aware of their surrounds from Mumm-Ra and his men the next time it happens. So, for once for Britney and Lion-O to hear Leanora out on that part, she has made a good point about it for sure. Even for Charolette and Snarf to get it, both of them.

"Well…oh, dear. It would seem that Leanora has a very good point." Britney agrees with her friend.

Lion-O thought of the same thing to let Snarf know that they'll be ready the next time.

"You know what, Britney? You're right. Leanora does." He says the same to Snarf too. "It'll be fine, Snarf, we'll make sure they don't do anything like that again."

If Lion-O says so…As Charolette pointed out to a nearby town to the others, meaning that it was shopping time.

"Nice eyes, Charolette. Let's go shopping, Lion-O."

With Britney grabbing Lion-O's arm, they go do just that while Charolette waited outside of village 'with Snarf keeping his friend company'.

"We'll be back in a few minutes, you guys!" Lion-O tells the two.

With them going into town for a bit to buy some food, water, and some supplies for a few minutes, while Snarf stayed with Charolette to just hang out with each other…they would've - only to see something crawling within the bushes for them to discover, for Snarf hears another one behind him to go check it out himself to try to be brave on his end' as Charolette sees something in front of her being something as big as she was, was another male Tago Spider! She has found her mate! As scary as it looked of all black as hard as a rock, six eyes, an odd body, six legs, and two long arms being sharp like swords to look scary, but it was very kind to find a female Tago Spider. From then, the two got to know each other within the woods…only for trouble to be coming as Mulu flies around the area to see that the Thundercats were around and find a group of people too 'by Mumm-Ra's orders' while bringing some back up. Another seventh of the Twelve Deadly Kins was here.

"Less of those stupid cats around, must be resting after finishing off Grune and got the second stone." She said to be thinking very well. "With those two, I can get the two stones, that human girl, and the sword to seeing that Lion-O and those…filthy things go down for good. While still carrying out Master Mumm-Ra's plans, by finding the two lizards who've betrayed us and who are on the run right now." Mulu calls that helper to show himself to her. "Do I make myself clear, Rottentia of the Rat Kins?"

This time it was a small type of rat to be sneaky of speed, skills to cut through anything, and something else besides doing a big job for a small creature.

"Say no more, Mulu." He said to be moving around-like crazy. "My friends and I will find those two to put an end to it while getting the things for Master Mumm-Ra and killing off the rest. Like so…I'll get them out to begin the search right away."

Until then, Mulu spies around for a while until Rottentia gets back to her.

"That's what I like to hear…you know what to do. Call up your friends, I'll be waiting until you bring me news."

And Rottentia does so as he stood there looking sneaky and happy way too much, out comes from the shadow point of view…a lot of him popping out to be the same size and height 'and sounding the same too'. I don't like the looks of that at all.

"Hi, my brothers. Do I have a mission for us to do in the name of Master Mumm-Ra." Rottentia explains.

For them to be cheering and after that to all spread out and do what needs to be done. Could it be some type of cloning ability that Rottentia can do to himself besides speed and can cut things in seconds from his sharp claws…? Hmm…What was Snarf doing? Seeing from the other sound coming from the bushes to be more than one, but two, for he sees two lizards one was a boy and the other one was a girl who looked scared than threaten for these two.

"Oh, no! We've been caught!"

"Please don't hurt us!"

Those two lizards were the ones who've fled from working with both Slithe and Mumm-Ra to be heard about and now seen up close, they were known to be brother and sister; for their names were Chris and Kelly. To Snarf surprise was big somehow…until Rottentia was spying on them to do something with those three next; and with that going on for Lion-O and Britney got their things done to leaving the area to be ready to move out of the Berbils' home in a while, it'll be a few days for them to let the Thundercats stay for a bit since they love to help them out. Worth it while the two lovers spend more time together. So, it was worth it a lot.

"I guess we have everything we need until our next stop in town." Britney double checks the list and the bag. "Bottles of water, spare food to make by hand, fruits, vegetables, emergency kit, camping supplies, clothing gears, and some tools for the ThunderTank. I can't wait to see Panthro to build and fight against once he gets those two new arms."

Lucky for Berbils are working on that on Panthro right now as we speak, takes time though…

"Me too. And from the look and sound of things, we've gotten everything we needed."

"Then I guess we're all set then." Britney said. "What should we do now for the time being? I bet Snarf went with Charolette to find a male Tago right about now. I guess we need to wait for them to come back for now…?"

Seems like it 'for one part to be right about', for Lion-O had an idea to be spending more time with Britney since they were alone right now 'and Leanora was chilling out within Britney's body'. Couple loving time.

"Hey, Britney, you know what this means right?" he asks his girlfriend.

"What's that?"

Lion-O kisses Britney for her to enjoy this moment with each other 'and alone' once again to love this feeling.

"You and I are having some alone time." Lion-O was really like this feeling. "Wanna make out?"

"Lion-O…" she was enjoying this moment and feeling from it too. "I want nothing more than to hug and kiss you."

With her holding, Lion-O, with their arms not letting go of each other and kissing too for Britney to really happy to be in love with someone like Lion-O. It doesn't matter if he's a humanoid-like cat person and a human to fall in love, or a cat falling for someone else besides another animal, because love is love. From touching kissing, their tongues dancing from inside, then falling on the grass ground and still making out…it was the most romantic moment for them to be having.

"This feels nice." Said Lion-O.

"It does. I never knew what love felt like, but I know, Lion-O, I love you so much."

They kept making out to not stop to enjoy their moment while they still could while being all alone and like this.

"I love you too, Britney. I want you to be my mate. Someone to love forever and living together once we stop Mumm-Ra. Once we find the portal to your world and you visiting your parents, I know that they'll accept you to love me. Third Earth to saving lives and this planet, we can do it."

"That we will." She hopes that he family were doing well. "(Mom. Dad. Shoe. Ben. I miss all of you, but I want to live here, my new world and home…I promise to visit with you once we find a portal that Lion-O promise me, I hope you'll understand that I will no longer live a bad life, but a good one now. I've changed a lot.)" Britney asks Lion-O something else. "Lion-O, you said I should become your mate, meaning of you and I to love each other forever?"

The two hold hands for Lion-O to be kissing Britney on the neck.

"I meant every word. When us cats find someone, we love we call them mates as a couple. Like Tygra and Cheetara are, and you and me as well." He said to his girlfriend. "So, would you?"

Britney sounded happy to be crying with tears of joy to give her out her answer.

"Yes, Lion-O! Yes, I will be your mate! I never felt this much love in my life…I'm so happy."

As the two were hugging and Lion-O to be touching Britney somewhere else… 'well just from her chest' for her to feel shy about covering herself up.

"Sorry!" he said. "Did I hurt you?"

"No, it's fine, Lion-O. It just…that feeling just now. (I never knew that there will be…something like that to happen too in between. Love is great to really be closer between…Oh, me!)"

Lion-O almost went a bit close of doing more than make out, not that anything bad didn't happen anyways for him to say something to Britney about it.

"Look, I just…first time with a girl and I…when you're ready, maybe we could…?"

"Lion-O, when the time comes I guess." She said. "Sorry, it's my first time to be dating and all. We can still make out and such. Hugging. Kissing…what we just did."

Seems that their relationship will take some time to know that they still love each other no matter what.

"It's fine, Britney, I won't do anything you feel upset of doing. But if you ever want to, then…" he holds her hand.

"I will when I'm ready. Lion-O, thank you for understanding me."

"Thank you for being my mate. I guess now we should wait for Charolette and Snarf to come back next."

For now, Britney relaxes to place her head-on Lion-O's chest to lie on while the two were sitting around on the grassy fields.

"I guess we should, yes. I hope they'll be okay." She said to enjoy the relaxing time. "(I'm glad Lion-O can wait until I'm ready to do more than making out with him, he's so understanding and cute when he looks at me. Love…it's such a beautiful thing. Like us, Tygra and Cheetara, and Charolette…I hope she finds that male Tago Spider in no time today. I just hope Snarf didn't get lost on his own again.)"

Guess they need to now since they were spending some time and finish with their shopping so far…Only to be waiting for Snarf and Charolette to return, for Snarf to see two male and female lizards to be hiding for Rottentia to come up from behind. Trying to attack them to make their getaway and scaring Scarf to make a run for it to try finding Lion-O and Britney right away as Chris and Kelly were running like cowards all over the place for the Rottentia to try killing them – they don't seem to be the enemy of the Thundercats or working for Mumm-Ra form the looks of it.

"Ah! One of the Twelve Deadly Kins is here to kill us! Run away!" both Chris and Kelly said in fear to be running for their lives next.

For Snarf to start running away at first for Lion-O and Britney to see him looking all scared.

"Is that Snarf running away?" question Lion-O. "Is he all right?"

"He seems to be running from someone." Said Britney.

Just then, both her and Leanora felt something to be coming 'from the Ring of Shoran to be reaction' by being dangerous of another of one of the Twelve Deadly Kins.

"More like something…Britney! Lion-O! Trouble's coming!"

With Snarf coming up to the two 'with Leanora', they see two of the lizards to be running from something. Only for Lion-O to see them to what he thinks 'at first' of them working for Mumm-Ra, but they weren't.

"Two lizards…they must work for Mumm-Ra!" he gets out his Sword of Omens to fight. "Hold it right there-!"

"Help! Please save us!"

Seems that Kelly or Chris weren't fighting with the Thundercats at all, for Leanora then stops Lion-O in time to tell him and Britney of the real danger.

"Lion-O! Wait! It's not them, they're on our side!" she was surprised. "(It can't be…Christopher and Kelly who are noth rebelling against Mumm-Ra?)"

Britney feels it out too and tells Lion-O not to attack the two for they hid in a hole underground. Hmm…Also, Leanora knows a lot about the two siblings.

"She's right, Lion-O! Don't hurt those two lizards!" said Britney. "Please…"

He of course believes in his girlfriend and to hear Leanora to be saying something like this.

"Britney? What does Leanora mean? Aren't they supposed to be trouble?" Lion-O was lost.

"Not them, one of the Twelve Deadly Kins, Rottentia!"

And Leanora was right for Rottentia appears to be fast for Lion-O and Britney couldn't see his fast moments to be laughing about it, and making Snarf's eyes to spin around and feel dizzy-like.

"Another member of the Twelve Deadly Kins!" surprised Britney. "It's a rat type of creature."

Don't be fooled from his looks though, he has a lot more to go around than appearance, a lot more…

"Well, if it ain't the Thundercats with Britney and Leanora who's trap in the ring that I need the two. As well as the sword to kill you two felines who are in Master Mumm-Ra's way." Said the sneaky rat to hop around fast. "I'm not only on a mission to do those things, but I'm here to kill off those two traitors who are hiding. So, you two get out of my way and wait for your turns!"

Snarf was making noises and pointed out to Lion-O and Britney that Leanora was telling the truth about the two lizards being good. They're not enemies, rather they're turning against Mumm-Ra and their own lizard kind to be on their side.

"I guess we have no choice now…Britney, we'll ask Leanora some questions in a bit. Back me up here so we can get Rottentia first!"

Lion-O gets his sword out for Snarf stayed where Chris and Kelly were hiding in and Britney to have her boomerang blade all set to go to stop Rottentia.

"Right." She understood. "Stop hurting these innocent beings, you filthy rat! I Lion-O and I won't let you hurt them! We'll stop you first before you try to!"

Nice way to see Britney was strong to get Lion-O to be happy and Leanora even more. For Rottentia sees that this was going to be difficult, he gets ready to get out his hand-like claws to use against them and his speed from his tiny feet of the mechanical armor-like body of his to be ready to fight.

"Okay, if you two wish to play with me first to get the items from you both, then…" Rottentia fast to move in circles and started cutting down three trees into pieces. "Very well, time for us to play!"

Both fast and deadly to strike.

"Watch out, you two!" Leanora alerts them. "He's very tricky to beat!"

From Rottentia laughing to try cutting Lion-O to leave his suit a bit cut to almost getting cut to his chest to move away in time to have trouble cutting him down. For this rat kept coming back for more! Only for Britney to come in to shielding Rottentia using her ring to becoming a fire-like shield to save her boyfriend in time; a little hot to move away in time to hurt Rottentia to keep doing some more speed and cutting attacks to enjoy the fun for no one can't catch him. For Snarf ducks down to have his fur from the tip of his tail to be cut a little with a few strains of hair to be freaking out and the other two seeing the whole fight to be going down and knowing who were saving them.

"Huh?" Kelly figures out on who they were. "Chris, look. It's the Thundercats. Lion-O."

He sees them too.

"You're right, Kelly, Lion-O is the son of the late King Claudus and now the new king and lord/leader of the Thundercats. He and that strange creature are saving us."

They got that part right. For Rottentia was charging in for another hit only for Lion-O to swing his sword to push the creature back to then get caught by one of the tree to trap his arm in it, nice one!

"What was that? You think I'm so kind of fly or something? Ha! Don't make me laugh."

"That wasn't supposed to hit you…" Lion-O tells him.

Confusing Rottentia on that part, Britney uses her cat-like skills to throw her boomerang blade to strike back next.

"No, this is!"

One swing really gets to Rottentia to go down for good, only for him to crawl away for the other Rottentia comes out of hiding to carry the other clone away for Britney to see that happen.

"He escaped."

"(Weird, I thought I was seeing two of them instead of one…)" Britney was lost. "I can't find Rottentia anywhere, Lion-O."

Well, so much for looking around for the time being for Leanora will keep her eyes and ears open until he comes back. I don't think she or the others don't know that Rottentia is far from finish to still be fighting…

"Never mind that for now, he didn't wonder off too far." She said. "We'll come back for him in the bit. Right now, I want to talk to Chris and Kelly. Snarf, help me out here."

Snarf gets the two lizards out of hiding for them to stay close for Lion-O and Britney see that they weren't going to hurt them, only they thought they did.

"Ah, are you two okay…?" Lion-O asks them.

"Please don't hurt us!"

Seems that Chris and Kelly refuse to say anything but shake and holding each other in fear. Oh, boy…Snarf smells that they weren't a threat to tell Lion-O the same and Britney to use her ring to feel out that they were on their side.

"Lion-O. Snarf. I think Leanora might be on to something here, these two lizards are friends and not enemies." She was right for Leanora to say so too.

"I knew it…Chris. Kelly. Relax!" said Leanora. "It's me, Leanora. Remember? I knew your father a while back. It's still me, but in this human's body right now to recover for the time being. See?"

When Leanora told the two that part to seeing her in spirit form and Britney saying hi, Snarf doing the same thing, and Lion-O putting away his sword for the time being. As he shows his hand out to both Chris and Kelly to gain their trusts for not worry over nothing 'for they're like that a lot'.

"If Britney, Snarf, and Leanora say that you two are alright, then I believe in them." He said. "We see that neither of you two aren't working for Mumm-Ra in his army or his lizards, correct?"

The brother and sister let go of each other to see that Snarf was friendly to them as well as remembering Leanora just seeing her in spirit form.

"The cat from earlier…" Kelly was lost. "Chris, this creature is friendly who's on Lion-O's side. And this strange creature here."

"I'm a human from Earth of a different dimension of Third Earth, my name is Britney Storms." She introduces herself. "I have Leanora within me to recover while I help her save her home world."

Leanora act cool even while in spirit form to be seen and heard when being part of the ring when Britney has it on her finger.

"What up, you two? These guys are cool."

Chris and Kelly both looked at each other back and forth to see and hear everything right in front of them.

"Leanora herself…is still alive to recover within a ring?" Chris looks at the item. "Part of the fire Stone of Omens of you four warriors too, no wonder why Mumm-Ra wants it."

Lion-O then introduces himself to them to prove that everything will be fine on Leanora's end to recover back to her true form soon enough.

"In her beast form, right now, she'll back in full health in no time. I'm Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats." He said while patting Snarf on the head. "Also a king too. And I see you two have already meant with my pal Snarf here."

Snarf made the cute noise to them. Only from there, Chris and Kelly were happy to have Leanora to be shown in person and were happy to see her again.

"Leanora! You're back!" they couldn't touch the spirit to feel silly after doing that. "We've miss you!"

"Ah, yeah…" she tells the others. "Don't mind Chris and Kelly here, you two, for these two brother and sister being the good skillful type of lizards to not do anything bad. And even if they tried to, they're nothing but a bunch of a clumsy types."

It true, those two were for now they know that they can be trusted.

"Hey, Leanora! Come on!" said the upset Chris.

"We can do more than go to war, we're not brave enough!" and Kelly.

Before Lion-O, Britney, and Snarf could find Charolette next…both Chris and Kelly's stomachs were making sounds to be hungry for Leanora to be laughing about it.

"Hmm…you two sure sound and look hungry. Why don't we talk while treating you two and get down to business." Said Britney. "Is that alright with you, Leanora? Just for you to catch up to your old two friends?"

"I'm fine with that. Just stay close to us and you two will live and then we'll go find Charolette afterwards." She said. "Shall we?"

With Chris and Kelly bowing to them to say they're thanks to stay behind while walking in fear, for Lion-O to be worried more about Rottentia getting hurt to getting the coin or going after him. Hard to say on what his condition was…

"Let just hope we'll find that Rottentia to get the seventh coin next when we can."

Guess it's back to the village they got to give Chris and Kelly something to eat for Lion-O to afford for them, while getting some answers and their supplies safe in the bushes'. As another Rottentia carries the injured one back to the real Rottentia and his other clones waiting around and searching too; the weak on says that he has spotted the target with the Thundercats at some village. For Mulu to see and the real one absorbing his other self-back within his body, he had what he needed to learn on how Britney and Lion-O's fighting skills. Another one of his abilities.

"You got it all down?" Mulu asks the rat.

Seems like he did for his other clones to getting copied in their heads too.

"We sure did, Mulu, I know what to do the next time we face them. Right, brothers of mine?!"

Lots of the Rottentia clones there were for the real one to lead the way to kill both Kelly and Chris while Mulu flies up in the air to follow them, to carry out the task and get the goods too. During the time outside of the area for Charolette to follow the male Tago Spider to see that he was real for him to feel overprotected to stand up to her 'to not know that it was an enemy of Mumm-Ra's'; he too sees a female Tago Spider left and him being the last male left alive, from their touch of their long legs and from there to be spreading web all over to be climbing, swinging, and dancing only proves that it's their way of talking to each other to falling in love that fast for Charolette to be happy about to mate with this male one as he was with her right back. Remember, spiders mate differently but to this world the female won't bite off the male's head afterwards so that's good, right?

One part taken care of so far…As back at the village there was a diner type for Chris and Kelly to be eating normally for they were a mess and hungry too; for Lion-O, Britney, and Snarf to be seeing them eating like, well pigs almost for Leanora remembers them too well on their odd behavior of being scared, funny, caring, and being themselves but never the killing type of their kind in the family. Oh, boy…if you think that from Chris and Kelly, then we'll soon find out far more than their background stories next.

"Thank you so much for the food, Lion-O, Leanora, and Britney!" the two siblings say their thanks.

From making a scene and burping together, they know that the two lizards were very friendly to Lion-O, Britney, and Snarf's point of view to see for themselves.

"Yep, what did I tell you guys?"

"I guess you've proven a good point about them, Leanora, they're not life threatening." Britney laughs. "Listen, Chris. Kelly. If you two don't mind, we wish to ask you some questions on what happened. Like…um…"

Leanora explains it better for them in her own words.

"Why is the Twelve Deadly Kins member's after you, why you two are not serving Mumm-Ra and his other goons, why you two are running away, and what are your reasons?" she asks them.

Snarf could tell from the looks on their faces that something was on their minds for Chris and Kelly were never murders of Mumm-Ra's army in the first place, but to help the world to see that they were almost played as fools to getting out of that mess in time. So, they're pretty much on the run to be most wanted for the real enemies themselves of an evil creature who was trying to rule Third Earth.

"Brother?" Kelly asked Chris.

"Sis, it's fine." He sighs and speaks up. "Just so you all know…the two of us were never part of the betrayal of Thundera, our Uncle Slithe was who almost killed Lynx-O to make him go blind and murder our Father."

Oh, no way! Their uncle is Slithe?! This surprises everyone else about this as well even for Leanora.

"What are you guys saying…? Don't tell me that Slithe cause all of this to happen of both cats and lizards to go to war with Mumm-Ra pulling all of the strings?"

Sounds like it as Chris and Kelly had to tell them everything since they trust in Lion-O, Britney, Leanora, and Snarf who weren't part of Mumm-Ra's troops.

"We might as well tell you everything…Yes, it was all Mumm-Ra's doing." Said Kelly. "Because of Grune freeing that monster and brainwashed Slithe for him and our other kind to turn against the cats and took everything, almost coast Lynx-O's life but loss his sight. Because of all of this, Thundera's gone and your father, Lion-O, former King Claudus is dead. It's our Uncle Slithe's fault! Because of his madness, he took our Father's life! Since then, both Brother and I were force to work for them."

Chris tries to keep his sister well from getting upset just thinking about it all over again.

"There's a reason why we had no choice back then." Chris speaks up next. "You know? It was hard for Sis and me to go through so much torture and all. Things wouldn't be this way if it wasn't Mumm-Ra's twisted games, lies, and dark magic. Is like we relive the whole thing like it was yesterday."

And now, I'll explain the rest of the whole background story as Chris and Kelly to tell them all about it. Lizards once live and had peaceful lives for Chris and Kelly's parents were like mayors of some type of their land to keep them and other animals to live in harmony and all to be very well and make machines that find to be rebuilt to fight back to protect others with their people. So much to be good friends with King Claudus during the times too, for all of the creatures were but Slithe was against it all to hear voices from Mumm-Ra's curse to spread all over for Slithe to be brain washed, causing him to lose control to blinding Lynx-O to almost murdering the proud solider for his own brother and Claudus to stop him to be kicked out; after a year passed for Chris and Kelly's mother pass away from a deadly disease to be sad and things get much worse…for Slithe sees that Grune has freed someone who can change everything on Third Earth with power and by proving himself – Slithe murders his own brother to make it look like the cats did it 'for some to hate their kind to become part of Mumm-Ra's army' for the two children left to both know all about it to escape too late and then becoming slaves without warning Claudus the true in time. Since then for Chris to become to weapon maker and Kelly the eyes to see things out, to be useful to save the many lives for some parts until they get to make their escape to seek for help from any of the ThunderCat member, and that's what happen to put it that way. Sad, huh?

So now Lion-O, Britney, Leanora, and Snarf know the entire truth that Kelly and Chris told them all about it. The reason, lizards turning against cats, Slithe's madness because of Mumm-Ra and Grune's fault, killing their father, some turning against one another, and lots more for Leanora sees now. A lot more to tell the others about it later, for Snarf was confused for he couldn't believe his ears, but all of it was true.

"Ah, man…I never knew…" Leanora was upset when hearing the whole thing. "Chris. Kelly. I'm so sorry."

"Why though?" Britney was sad. "Why would someone like Mumm-Ra fool with Slithe's mind like that to kill his own brother?! It just wrong!"

Banging her hands on the table to make another scene, Lion-O pays the food and everyone else leaves the place in time.

"Please excuse us, everyone, bad day here." He said to them.

They got out in time to finish talking somewhere outside in a private down town now.

"Sorry, Lion-O." said Britney. "I just…" Lion-O forgives Britney to hug her and kisses her on the cheek.

"I know, I feel the same way too. Like my Father, you two loss yours because of Slithe's doing. Now working for Mumm-Ra and your other kind…he's a twisted monster!"

For those two to get mad about and Snarf hissing just thinking about Mumm-Ra and Slithe, Leanora gets the whole thing with some good news in between.

"As far as I know, Lynx-O's alive somewhere. I saw him getting the other surviving cats out of the fallen kingdom when we set for our journey then." She said. "Other than that, being good news and hopefully seeing him again, we might have a chance. Some of the lizards like the ones who aided us from the very beginning and these guys are one to go against our foes. Think about it!"

Yeah! Lynx-O was alive to aiding the other cats, good to know about him so far at least.

"Hey, Leanora, you may be right." Lion-O agrees. "Those two might've gotten out as well, so maybe…"

"You mean Krump and Han?" ask Chris. "That's great! I knew they were too good to become part of Uncle's army! Hey, Sis, this means we have a chance of winning yet!"

Chris and Kelly dance with joy together. Looks like after Lion-O set them free and they did the same for them at the beginning, they did escape from Mumm-Ra and Slithe after what they did to one day fight back just like they were. So, cool!

"Sorry, they're Chris's closest friends. They're cool and tough, but never did any crime but to being jerks and showoffs to getting caught time to time." Explained Kelly. "So, with Brother and I to ask you all this question…Lion-O. Britney. Leanora. Snarf too with many of your other friends, would you please let us join you to stop our Uncle and Mumm-Ra?"

Seems that they were being serious right now to for the others needed to not see them get killed by Mumm-Ra or Slithe to try to do something about it. Before Leanora to give her answers out first, both she and Britney senses the danger for things to be cut into pieces to cause trouble all over town for the others to be panicking all over for Snarf to see it. Only for Rottentia to find them for Chris and Kelly know that someone has come after them, fearing that one was Mulu for her to be heard.

"Chris. Kelly. I know you two are here with the Thundercats in this area. Come out or die. Or better yet, my little friend and his army will start killing these innocent bystanders instead." She said. "What's it going to be?"

It was getting crazier for other things to being destroyed but not the creatures to almost look like they were about to get cut. So, fast for Chris and Kelly to both hide behind two different trees, knowing that they were in trouble now.

"It's Mulu!"

"We're going to die!"

Snarf was hiding too as Lion-O and Britney with Leanora had to put a stop to this while getting Rottentia as well and protect Chris and Kelly from danger. So, they come out of hiding to be ready for battle.

"Snarf, stay with them." Said Britney. "Time for us to fight, Leanora, we'll give them our answers after we save the lives of the villagers first." She transforms. "I am Britney Storms, of Thunder! Hear my cry!"

Britney all set to go and Leanora to power her up and Lion-O as well to be getting his Sword of Omens ready.

"Enough, Mulu!" he said. "We'll fight. We won't let you hurt anyone else, and that includes those two."

With Chris and Kelly feeling scared to be seen by Mulu to look like cowards, she'll get the items, Britney with the ring of Leanora in it, and carry out the mission for Mumm-Ra her master.

"Oh, how cute. And yet, it sickens me…You two think you can stop us from carry out the job to take out those traitors?"

"You don't get it, do you Mulu?" Leanora said to the bad bird. "These two are fighting back for their own uncle Slithe killed their father. His own brother to join the dark side of Mumm-Ra, this was all his fault! Why can't you not see that?!"

No kidding, all of this was Mumm-Ra's doing to mess with everyone else like her, Grune 'at one time when he was alive', and Slithe.

"Master Mumm-Ra saved me from cats like yourselves to use others that I haven't given up on my revenge." She said for not listening to any reasons. "All I need is people like him and those who understand my pain. I might as well get this over with, having the price of one done in one day. Alright, Rottentia, you and your others get ready!"

Rottentia does so to stand in front of Britney and Lion-O to get ready to fight.

"On it, Mulu. Alright, Thundercats, give me your friends and let those two die or else…you will all die!" Rottentia gets out more clones of himself to appear. "You two have stopped my other self, but let see you two stop the many of my clones to get to the real me last. Ask yourselves, which one is the real me…?"

There were a lot of them for Britney knew that something was different about Rottentia.

"I knew it…he can make clones of himself." She said. "Lion-O I need you to be my eyes for us to find the real one to stop the real Rottentia right away-!" Britney moves away from almost getting cut to save a villager's life in time. "My hair!"

Before Lion-O could do that using his Sword of Omens Sight Beyond Sight abilities, as a lot of Rottentia tries cutting him again to duck away and uses a vale to shield himself in time as a shield. Close call!

"These things are fast! I don't think I can my Sight Beyond Sight if I don't want to lose a limb or my eyes!" he sees more coming at Britney. "Watch out, Britney!"

Using her weapon for more of them push back as the real one was hiding from the rest of his many clones, things were looking bad here. At least Britney didn't get killed either to move fast like a cat.

"Not this time. Give us to goods or die, won't we my brothers?"

Lots of rats of the Rottentia the Rat of the Twelve Deadly Kins surround Lion-O and Britney to try protecting the two lizards, as Snarf stands his ground from the many rats. Which one's the real Rottentia though for Britney and Lion-O fight them off for more and more kept on coming to not stop attacking them leaving Mulu to be enjoying this fun of a battle; for some go after Snarf to tackle him all over his body to try fighting back but it was hard to do, as the others watch the horrors same with Chris and Kelly to see the whole thing, this looked bad here.

"Nice way to get back at the cats here." Mulu was laughing. "Yes, yes! Those two are going to die! They're going to die!"

Man, will Mulu ever shut up?! Everything looks bad for Lion-O and Britney kept on fighting the many armies of Rottentias while protecting the villagers along with Chris and Kelly too as they couldn't just hide forever from so much of this to be happening and because of them, Kelly then uses her tail to help Snarf for she couldn't take it anymore.

"Alright…! That's it! (No more hiding! All this will end, Father, just you watch us!)"

She does well to removing the many rats off Snarf 'for he was happy about it', for this surprises Lion-O, Britney, and Leanora to be seeing this while still fighting for Rottentia didn't care to make more of himself. As Mulu just continues to watch, only for Chris to see his sister do something for a change.

"Ha! Got to do better than that, you traitors!" Rottentia was laughing. "I got plenty more of me where that came from."

Lots of other clones were coming 'or being made' for Kelly wanted to fight back somehow. As for Chris?

"Ah! Sis! What are you doing?!" he questions Kelly.

"Come on, Chris, get up and fight! You got your claws while I have my tail to stop those rats!" she tells Chris. "We can't hide forever from Mumm-Ra and Uncle Slithe's goons! We need to fight back somehow. Otherwise, how can we let Father's death happen without us avenging him? Our people? And the rest to reform while we still have a fighting chance. Think about it!"

Seeing that Kelly has a very good point about that, Chris now knows of it. Besides seeing well to making weapons, those two could fight as well from claw and tail.

"Hey, yeah…you're right! He wouldn't let us, only to fight back by Mulu and setting free the Twelve Deadly Kins like that rat over there!"

Like that would offend Mulu like that.

"Fight back you say? I like to see you two try…"

As Snarf see that something was going to happen for Rottentia got the others to attacking the two lizards next, they were ready to stop the many clones for Lion-O and Britney to finding the real one.

"You know what this means, right Sis?"

"I sure do, Brother."

The two siblings say it together.

"Let's get them!"

Now Mulu sees that something bad was going to happen next.

"Oh, no…" she started to worry.

"Enough! We'll kill them anyways! Attack!"

Once Rottentia order a lot of his clones to attacking them next, Chris claws them down in seconds. Same with Kelly to whipping them using her tail and her fast speed like a whip-type of weapon. As a lot of came for more as they fought back allowing Snarf to take out some by pushing down a barrel of drinks to killing the other clones and Britney burning the rest up with her fire powers; soon Charolette and her mate came to eating some of them as well and Lion-O slashing the rest too for now they all had the upper hand to fighting back.

"Alright! Charlotte's back to help us!" Britney was happy. "And…another Tago Spider?"

Those two seem to be getting along well and fighting as a team.

"Seems that she has finally found her mate at last." Said Leanora to say something Lion-O next. "Now, Lion-O, find the real Rottentia while we still have some time!"

"On it…" he does so. "Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight!"

Looks like one was hiding behind a building to being the real one and commanding his clones. Lion-O and Britney has found it.

"Let's go, Lion-O, the others will cover for us!"

With the two slashing their way through the clones, leaving Chris, Kelly, Charolette, and her mate to finish the all off at a time 'and Snarf being like a boxer fighter to root for his friends to win this', not good for Mulu to see the rest Rottentia was in trouble to try cutting his way out with his fast skills, as Britney fires up her boomerang blade to chase him down leaving Lion-O to power up.

"Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats, ho!"

Showing a symbol of the Thundera in the sky and firing a powerful beam hits the real one to go down, as the rest were weak. As such for Charolette and the male Tago ate some of them – kind of gross to be seeing it to the villager's reaction wasn't pretty. With the other clones feeling weak, the real Rottentia was left standing.

"No! No! My army! What have you done?! And you two traitors shouldn't be fighting!" angered Rottentia for he was too weak to run away this time with his claws broken too. "What…? Who are you living beings?!"

Chris and Kelly stood strong to not be afraid anymore to say this to Mulu and Rottentia in their faces. Also, a message for Slithe and Mumm-Ra to watch out for.

"We're the lizards who'll save our home and people!" they said together at the same time. "We are the members of the Thundercats!"

"Well, you heard them." Said Leanora.

"As for you, rat, Tiger Slash!" Britney uses her attack to capture Rottentia with one hit. "So long!"

One hit gets the evil spirit from Mumm-Ra's magic out of Rottentia's body to then being set free into a coin, for the heroes have the seventh one now.

"You'll never defeat Mumm-Ra!"

And he was gone. With five more to go now! Mulu knew that something like this would happen to see that killing the two siblings now will be pointless to still carry out the job.

"Shoot! I was so close too! Only because of Rottentia only loved himself to make a lot clones, what a emphatic way to go." she said. "Well, no matter for now that is…So, you all got some new friends to defeat Grune too, but that doesn't mean Master Mumm-Ra, five more of the Twelve Deadly Kins, and I won't give up so easily. Or having some new members, I think we'll do just that." Mulu then flies off. "Chris. Kelly. We will end your lives soon enough like the Thundercats too, for I will be back soon enough."

Well, there goes Mulu once again to flee to report back, but with more planning in mind. Only for Charolette to have Britney give her male Tago Spider mate a name to be seeing his girlfriend time to time while mating with each other.

"Nice to finally meet with Charlotte's mate. I think…Spike will be a good name for you."

Good name for the male spider there, Spike. For him and Charolette were very happy with each other at long last, more liking finding one another. With the seventh coin to have now and for Britney, Leanora, Lion-O Snarf, with the two Tago Spiders, Chris and Kelly return to the Berbils village for Panthro was about to get new arms in a bit; for him, Cheetara, Tygra, WilyKit, and WilyKat heard the whole story on what they were dealing with now.

"So, you see, Thundercats. That's why we were scared at first because we were just slaves to Mumm-Ra and our own Uncle who has turned against us." Chris explains. "But after what we did today, it really felt great."

"We hope we can do more for all of you if you let Brother and I do so." And Kelly too. "We can find our other two friends to regroup more lizards who wish to fight for good, some of them really while we train to fight. We hope that's alright with everyone else."

Seems that Snarf already knows for Charolette and Spike to get it as well. As for the other five…?

"Lizards on our side?" Panthro looks at the two very carefully. "Hmm…well, I think we more back bone, they'll do just fine. Right, guys?"

"I guess so." Said WilyKat.

"They're cool." And WilyKit.

With Cheetara and Tygra hand shaking the siblings, they trust in them for some good to come out of it.

"Any enemy to Mumm-Ra, is a friend of ours."

"Welcome to the team, you two."

The brother and sister dance with joy for something good will happen as Leanora knows of it to give Chris and Kelly the best of luck.

"Sorry about your father's death..." she said. "To know that we can do so much more and built an army, we all might have a better chance of winning this battle yet. Anyways, once you two start training, finding Lynx-O, and more of your kind, you know where to find us. Athena, leader of the unicorn tribe will be more than happy to take you two in and with anyone you see that we know of would be wonderful too."

With Leanora saying that, Chris and Kelly will do so once they get clean up, train, prepare, and such to ravel for their kind later to go meet up with Athena next.

"We'll do that, Leanora, thanks." Said Kelly. "And if we see Lynx-O again, we'll tell him that you guys are doing great. Looks like we got a long way to go, Brother, shall we get started?"

They do so and helping the other Berbils while they were at it, first thing's first.

"We might as well, Sis." He said. "We'll aid them to getting Panthro's arms done to then, well, go from there I guess." Chris talks to the Berbils. "Any of you bears need some help?"

Well, seems that all will be just fine for the Berbils got something in store for the Thundercats besides fixing up Panthro right away 'and before Chris and Kelly could take off', for a new army to have new lizards turn to a new leaf real soon. Seems that no more running away or living in fear won't affect them anymore to make their father proud and stop Slithe and the other bad lizards for good; for Leanora was happy about it to see the two better than they were before and Lion-O and Britney have learned something for today. Well, besides Spike coming around for Charolette and him begin to mate for some eggs to be made and the rest 'privately somewhere'.

"I guess when it comes to knowing who's good like the lizards, we can change something from them, huh Lion-O?" ask Britney.

"No kidding." He sees the two siblings. "I think we did a lot more than knowing some good, we understand now that evil controls the good ones, not themselves. Slithe and Mumm-Ra will be stopped for Chris and Kelly's father's sake. And Tygra and me for our Father too." Lion-O holds Britney's hand. "Also, I think we'll do just fine if Mulu comes back with more armies or new bad guys for us to stop."

"Then we'll be ready for them, yes!"

Seeing from a nice view of the sun setting, all was well to get some few things done and all. While somewhere else from a far on Third Earth…seems that Lynx-O was doing well to train the other surviving cats for battle 'and some to live peacefully' in some empty fields to be doing well, and to be ready for Mumm-Ra if he attacks them again. For he may be blind, but he senses and hear things out very well to know of the outcome to happen later on.

"The Thundercats…" he said to himself. "Yes, Claudus sons, Tygra and Lion-O. Many more like them, someone that Lion-O loves, and other animals. We may have a chance of beating Mumm-Ra yet."

Old cat dude, you can say that again.
