As the Thundertank started to head off towards Spidera and her kingdom, the rest of the Thundercats and Planeteers are trying to cope with the aftermath of what Mumm-Ra and the Lunataks have done. Nobody was prepared for what happened to the happy couple after they were finally joined together in endless love, but when it comes to being sneaky and devilish, Mumm-Ra is in a class all by himself.
As they all entered the lair, Bengali and Lynx-O are still carrying Wheeler straight to his room to rest while the others try to figure out a way to keep Wheeler in the dark about Linka.
"We have to try and keep Wheeler's mind off of what happened when he wakes up." Kwami stated.
"That is going to be easier said then done Kwami." Gi started to speak. "You know how stubborn Wheeler can be especially when it comes to Linka."
"I know Gi, but we have to try and help him stay put, even if he doesn't want to." Kwami responded.
"My Planeteers, we must wait for Wheeler to wake up from his ordeal." Gaia started to say. "Then we can gently tell him what happened without getting him angry."
"Gaia, we both know that you wouldn't want to cause any pain to anyone but we need to keep Wheeler from thinking about Linka." Kwami stated.
"If only our rings would work, then we can help the Thundercats rescue Linka and Wheeler would be none the wiser." Gi stated.
"We must be patient with the ring situation Gi." Gaia started to say in a calming voice. "We will figure out a way to get rid of whatever Mumm-Ra did to them in no time." Gaia stated.
"But for now we need to concentrate on Wheeler." Kwami stated.
"Alright you both win." Gi started to say in a very depressing tone. "I just can't stop worrying about her."
"Think of what Wheeler will do if he finds out." Kwami stated.
"Good point, lets try and keep him calm." Gi responded.
As the group continued their discussion about what to do next, the Thundercats have reached Wheeler's quarters with the Planeteers right behind them.
"All right my friends." Lynx-O started to say. "Well put him on the bed, but please keep him calm when he wakes up." He finished as Bengali opened the door.
"What a way to spend a honeymoon." Gi started to think. "Having your new wife kidnapped while the husband is lying on the ground." She finished as Bengali and Lynx-O layed Wheeler down on his bed.
"Just make sure that he is calm and doesn't go off the handle." Bengali stated as both Thundercats left the room.
"We'd better take shifts to make sure that Wheeler is alright and calm." Kwami stated.
"I'll take the first one Kwami." Gi started to say. "He is almost like my older brother anyway."
"Alright my friend, Gaia or myself will relieve you in about an hour." Kwami stated as he and Gaia left Gi and Wheeler in his room.
"Wheeler , I don't know how I am going to keep you calm when you wake up, but I am sure gonna try by best." Gi stated as Kwami and Gaia left the room and closed the door.
Outside Wheeler's room, Gaia and Kwami were still very worried about how to tell Wheeler about Linka and wondering how Linka is holding out in Spidera's kingdom.
"I really do hope that our friends return before Wheeler wakes up Gaia." Kwami started to say.
"Me too Kwami, I hate to see any of my Planeteers in pain no matter what the reason for it." She responded.
Just then their conversation was momentarily interrupted when they saw Ma-Ti and the Thunderkittens coming down the hall with Mandora right behind them.
"Hey there Kwami ,Gaia, how is Wheeler." Wilykit asked.
"He is still out cold from what happened." Kwami responded.
"We both found Mandora in her quarters trapped in a block of solid ice." Wilykat stated.
"Yea, it took us and Ma-Ti a while to defrost her but when we were finished, we told her what had happened." Wilykit added.
"When I get my hands on Chilla, I am going to throw the book at her." Mandora started to say. "It is against the law to freeze somebody right before that person can perform their marriage duties. I'm also gonna add the charge of kidnapping and aiding and abetting." She finished.
"Please try to keep your voice down Mandora, we don't want to wake up Wheeler and get him mad with worry." Kwami stated.
"My duties as an officer demand that I question all parties involved even if that means getting him angry." Mandora stated.
"Mandora, you do not know Wheeler and Linka like the rest of us do." Kwami started to say. "He is very much in love with her and if he knows that she is in danger, then he will go off all half-cocked and reckless to try and rescue her."
"Besides, the other Thundercats are already on the way to try and save her from Spidera's home" Gaia finished.
"Never the less, I have to perform my duties as an officer of the Interplanetary Police Force." Mandora stated as she started to head towards Wheeler's room.
"Mandora, please be patient." Kwami started to say. "Gi is in there and she will let us know when Wheeler wakes up."
"He is our friend Mandora." Ma-Ti stated. "But if he knows what happened to Linka, then I don't know what he will do."
"Alright, I'll leave him alone for now." Mandora stated. "But remember interfering with an officer in her duties is punishable with criminal proceedings."
"Just give Gi an hour to make sure that Wheeler is still non the wiser Mandora." Gaia started to say. "We will deal with whatever happens afterwards.
"Alright then, I'm going back to my room to get changed but I will return." Mandora stated as she left the group.
"Thunderkittens, is Mandora always like that?" Ma-Ti asked.
"She is on officer of the law." Wilykat stated.
"And she takes her job very seriously." Wilykit answered.
"Come my friends, we all have better get changed as well." Kwami said.
"I'm gonna stay and help Gi out if and when Wheeler wakes up." Gaia stated.
"Alright, the rest of us will get changed and be back soon." Kwami said as he and the kittens left to get changed.
As the Thundercats and Kwami and Ma-Ti went back to their rooms to get changed after what happened during the wedding, Gi was still in Wheeler's room, hoping with all of her might that he doesn't wake up and start to worry.
"Please Wheeler, I know you want to wake up and be with Linka, but just this one time stay asleep." She started to say very quietly.
After a moment of silence, Gi started to hear some noises coming from Wheeler's bed.
"Oh no,he is starting to wake up." Gi started to think to herself. "I just hope that he won't ask about what happened."
"Ugh my head." Wheeler started to say. "What happened to me? The last thing I remember is being with the woman that I love finally being together."
"Um take it easy Wheeler." Gi started to say as she went over to his bedside. "You've been through a lot already."
"Thanks Gi, I guess." Wheeler responded as he started to regain his composure. "Where is my wife, is she ok?"
"Yes Linka is just fine." She started to say with a little sadness in her voice.
"Gi, is something wrong?" Wheeler asked looking confused.
"Everything is just fine Wheeler." Gi replied trying not to give anything away.
"Little mermaid, please tell me what is going on here." Wheeler stated being more direct.
"Nothing is going on here Wheeler, as I just said, Linka is just fine." Gi replied trying to keep herself calm.
"GI! ENOUGH OF THIS! TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON!" Wheeler started to yell as he got off the bed.
"Wheeler, please calm down I can explain everything if you just calm down." Gi pleaded with tears almost showing in her eyes.
"GI, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS STALLING, NOW PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON!" Wheeler yelled.
"Wheeler I.. I…I can't." She said in complete sadness as she threw herself onto Wheeler to try and calm him and herself down.
"I'm sorry Gi." Wheeler started to say in a lower tone. "I know that I can be somewhat of a hot head sometimes, but that is because I worry about things that I don't know of. I am sorry that I raised my voice at you."
"No wheeler I am the one who is sorry." Gi said while sniffling a little. "I want to tell you but I can't.
"Is it about what happened to Linka?" Wheeler said as he pulled away from Gi.
Gi could say nothing but nodded her head.
As the conversation between Gi and Wheeler was about to continue, Gaia opened the door and saw that Wheeler was awake and trying to find out what was going on from Gi.
"Wheeler, I'm glad to see that you are finally awake." Gaia stated as she entered the room.
"Yea Gaia, I'm just fine but I still would like to know what happened and where is Linka." Wheeler responded.
"I didn't tell him anything Gaia." Gi started to say. "But it was killing me on the inside to do so."
"Gaia, Gi please tell me what is happening here." Wheeler started to say. "I promise I wont go off half-cocked or anything like that."
"Wheeler, we all know that is one promise that you can't keep." Gaia stated.
"Then please tell me what I need to know Gaia. This is my wife we are talking about here, I have to be there for her." He replied.
"Alright Wheeler we will explain what happened to you and where Linka is, but you must calm down and relax after everything that I tell you." Gaia stated.
"I will try Gaia, but no promises." He responded.
"Now that's the Wheeler we all know and love." Gi added.
"Now please tell me what happened." Wheeler stated.
"All right Wheeler, but don't say we didn't warn you." Gaia stated.
As Wheeler calmly sat down on his bed, he started to hear Gaia's story about what happened after we was knocked out. He couldn't believe that Mandora, who performed the ceremony was actually Mumm-Ra in disguise and that he had help in the form of people called Lunataks. He also couldn't believe that Mumm-Ra had taken Linka and said that he was leaving her in some kind of kingdom underground. As Gaia continued to explain everything to Wheeler about what had happened, his anger had gotten the best of him once again.
"GAIA, PLEASE BE QUIET, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE!" He screamed at the top of lungs.
"Wheeler I am sorry for telling you this, I really didn't want to upset you." Gaia started to say.
"NOT GET ME UPSET, GAIA, GI, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE FOR LINKA AND WOULD DO ANYTHING WITHIN MY POWER TO GO AND SAVE HER!" Wheeler continued to yell.
"EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ON THIS PLANET SINCE ARRIVING HERE HAS BEEN ONE FIGHT AFTER ANOTHER TO SURVIVE AND I CAN'T DO ANY MORE WITHOUT LINKA AT MY SIDE!"
"Wheeler please calm down, we were only trying to protect you from-" Gi said as she was cut off.
"FROM WHAT?! FROM NOT KNOWING IF LINKA IS ALIVE OR DEAD, IF I WILL EVER BE ABLE TO SEE HER AGAIN?! WHY DID YOU BOTH TRY TO KEEP ME OUT OF THE LOOP?!"
"Because of this Wheeler!" Gi started to say trying not to shout. "Because we knew how you would react and we were trying to avoid that."
"Wheeler listen to us, Mumm-Ra did that on purpose because he knows that you would do anything to try and get Linka back safe and sound." Gaia started to say. "You have to just calm down before the whole Lair knows that you are awake and mad."
"I'm afraid it's a little to late for that my friends." A voice came from behind the group.
As they all turned around looking at the door, the group was a little surprised that the rest of the Thundercats with Mandora, Kwami and Ma-Ti were standing by the open door all in a state of shock.
"You told us you were gonna try to keep him in the dark my friends." Lynx-O stated.
"I'm sorry Lynx-O, but he does have a right to know." Gi said with a sad look on her face.
"Don't blame them for this Lynx-O, you can blame me for being so stubborn about wanting to find out what happened." Wheeler stated.
"My friend, in your position I would do the same thing." Lynx-O stated as the group outside the door started to come in.
"Look guys I'm sorry that I lost my temper there, but this is my wife we are talking about. I need to find her." Wheeler stated.
"Wheeler, Lion-O, Panthro, Tygra and Turmagar are already in the Thundertank and on their way to save Linka." Cheetara stated.
"You just need to relax my friend and settle down." Kwami added.
"I'm sorry guys, everyone, it's just hard trying not to think about Linka, I love her very much." Wheeler stated.
"That is what Mumm-Ra is counting on my friend." Lynx-O said.. "If you get mad then you will make mistakes that could lead to your own destruction here."
"Just take it easy for now Wheeler." Pumyra stated. "Just rest and be patient. The others will be back soon."
"That has never been Wheeler's strong suit Pumyra." Ma-Ti stated.
"I agree, but we will do what we can for him." Kwami stated.
"Look guys, I'm sorry for how I acted, its just." Wheeler started to say.
"We know my friend we all know. "Kwami answered as everyone else started to nod their heads.
"I have no idea what I have done to deserve friends like all of you but I am sure not complaining about it." Wheeler commented.
"Wheeler, my friend, we are always here for you." Kwami stated.
"Thanks guys." Wheeler started to say. "You know something, I think that you all are right. I do need to stay calm and be patient."
After Wheeler's statement, all of the remaining Planeteers looked at each other with confusion. Wheeler had never backed down from anything or anybody before in his life. That started them to wonder what has changed in him to say that and will it last.
"You know guys you can leave me alone for now." Wheeler started to say again. "I better get changed for when the others get back."
"You know something Wheeler." Gi started to say. "That is the first mature thing that you have ever said and I am so proud of you."
"Thanks little mermaid, it means a lot coming from you." Wheeler responded.
"We shall leave you alone my friend and thanks for understanding our concerns." Kwami stated.
"I always understand your concerns Kawmi and I always will." Wheeler responded.
"We will leave you now my friend." Ma-Ti said as they all left Wheeler's room and closed the door.
After everyone had left the room and closed the door, Wheeler started to get changed our of his wedding tux and into a different pair of clothing. He decided on changing into the Thundercat uniform that he was given when he first arrived at the lair, but this time it had the Thundercat symbol on it. But he also decided on wearing his vest from his Planeteer uniform as well as his sneakers, he didn't know what dangers he would start to face if any happened to come his way.
"Kwami, Ma-Ti, Gi, Gaia, please forgive me for what I am about to do." Wheeler started to think as he started to leave his room very quietly.
Wheeler knew that even thou they were trying to protect his feelings on the subject of Linka, some part of him wanted desperately to go to her and help. Wheeler, now quietly out of his room started to walk down the hallway towards the lair's left claw.
"Guys I am sorry about this but I have no choice but to do it." He thought as he entered the hangar area.
Once Wheeler had reached the hangar, he started looking around for anything that could be useful on his personal mission. He knew that the Thundercats would say that what he is about to do is reckless, but he had to do it anyway. He then took one of the Thundercats duffel bags and started loading it with a few weapons that he found, then he also remembered a little device that can track any vehicle from the lair or the tower. He remembered that device when Panthro explained how some of the vehicles can track each other in case of trouble. When he found the device on a shelf of spare parts he placed it into the bag, then he started the next phase of his plan. He then reached the security system that prevents any unauthorized launch of any vehicle from leaving the lair, using some of his New York skills, he managed to bypass the security system and headed straight for the Hovercat. He knew that this vehicle would allow him to catch up with the Thundertank and maybe even help to save his wife. He knew that he had to hurry so he started to climb into the Hovercat and powered it up, then he found the release lever of the claw in the vehicle and tripped it. As the claw started to rise, he knew that it would be only a matter of seconds before the lair's sensors would detect it, so he also programmed a 20 second delay to close it back up. As the claw reached it's height, Wheeler quickly engaged the vehicles' engines and blasted off from the hangar heading for the Thundertank and Linka.
"Hold on Linka, I'm on my way." Wheeler started to think as he turned on the tracker.
Back inside the lair, everyone was gathered in the conference room to figure out what they were gonna do next about keeping Wheeler safe.
"I'm glad that Wheeler has finally came to his senses about what happened." Ma-Ti said.
"Yes my friend, I am also glad about Wheeler's change of heart." Kwami stated.
"I don't know about that." Gi said
"What is wrong my dear?" Lynx-O asked with a concern in his voice.
"I can't figure it out, one moment Wheeler would give anything to rescue Linka and then a complete 360."
"Maybe he's just gotten tired fighting all of your reasoning Gi." Pumyra stated.
"No, Gi may be right about something." Lynx-O stated.
"Right about what Lynx-O?" Ma-Ti added.
"If Wheeler cares as much as you say he does then why would he just stop all of a sudden?"
After a moment of thought, Gi had a very worried look on her face. "Oh no." She started to say." Guys you don't think that."
"We better get back up there right away." Kwami stated as they all started to leave the conference room and headed back towards Wheeler's room.
As the group approached Wheeler's room, they all started to wonder how he could of fooled all of them so easily, especially Gi. But then they all realized that he wouldn't give up and try again no matter what the cost. As they approached Wheeler's room, everyone was hoping that they were wrong about what they were thinking.
"Wheeler, are you in there?" Gi asked while knocking on his door.
"We better go in and check." Pumyra stated as she opened the door.
As Pumyra opened the door, they all noticed that Wheeler's tux was on the bed but his Thundercat uniform was missing as well as his sneakers. After they all started to look around for anything else, they also noticed that his Planeteer vest was also missing.
"Guys, if Wheeler is not here then where is he?" Bengali asked.
"THE HANGAR, WE MUST HAVE HEADED TOWARDS THE HANGAR!" Ma-To started to yell.
"How could he get out of the lair without us knowing about it?" Pumyra stated.
"Wheeler is from New York, he had picked up a lot of skills from his home before I charged him with saving the planet." Gaia stated.
"We better check both hangars right away." Cheetara stated as all of them started to run towards both hangars.
In a matter of moments, both groups met up under the lair's left claw hoping to find something that could explain what happened to Wheeler. As they entered, they noticed a few things out of place, first the Hovercat was missing and it looks like somebody had tampered with the lair's security system for the left claw.
"How could Wheeler do this to us and to our new friends?" Ma-Ti asked.
"Can you really blame him Ma-Ti?" Kwami stated.
"How could I be so gullible as to believe what Wheeler had said before." Gi stated feeling mad at herself.
"Gi it's not your fault." Lynx-O stated. "He tricked all of us."
"BUT HE TRICKED ME." Gi started to say in a much higher voice. "HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY BIG BROTHER AND HE TRICKED ME." She stated with tears in her eyes.
"Planeteers, would you have done the same if it was somebody that you loved more than life itself?" Lynx-O asked.
After a moment all of the Planeteers started to look at each other and then nodded their heads.
"Planeteers, we have to try and contact the Thundertank and let them know that Wheeler is on the way." Gaia stated.
"But how would he even know where to find them?" Kwami asked.
"He took one of our tracking devices." Wilykit stated.
"Tracking device?" Gi asked.
"Yes, in case we needed to help locate one of our friends in trouble." Cheetara stated. "Panthro added homing devices in all of our vehicles to make sure that we can track them."
"I just hope that Wheeler knows what he is doing." Gi stated.
"Easy there my friend, Wheeler will be back and so will the others. We just have to have faith." Kwami said.
"When Wheeler gets back, he and I are gonna really have it out." Gi stated.
"Gi we will worry about dealing with Wheeler when he returns, but for now lets head up to the control room and alert Lion-O and the others." Kwami stated as they all started to head back to the control room.
