Alright guys, I think we all know this has been a long time coming.
I'm afraid the story has come to an end. Sorry, but I've just lost total interest in this, and writing it now is just a chore, not really anything fun. I know some of you might have been looking forward to it, but I feel like a good chunk of my original audience has lost interest, too.
But I'm not gonna be so cruel as to leave you guys totally hanging, so I'm gonna give you a little rundown of how I planned to have the rest of the story go.
So, for starters, Leanne's and Lion-O's next location would have been a village that was hidden from the air, a coastal town that was the home to turtle villagers, all of them tasked with guarding the entrance to where they would find the third spirit stone, and they wouldn't tell them where to find it no matter what they did. It also turns out that the village had a giant worm problem that was destroying their homes and eating some of their elderly, so the ThunderCats would band together and kill it, the resulting saving of the village would convince the turtles that they were worthy and they would lead them to the coast, saying that the spirit stone was hidden in the ocean somewhere. And while this was happening, in a show of amazing self-sacrifice, Lucas would end up taking a blow for the Wilykittens and gain Lion-O's trust as well as everyone else's and get his talisman back and be able to use magic again.
Leanne and Lucas would be the only ones going down since Leanne's elemental magic and some brief teaching from Lucas during the worm event would have allowed them to figure out how to breathe underwater and get it without any trouble while the Cats had to wait on the Berbils to get some gear for them. Deep into a chasm, there's a little village of crustaceans and fish people, they were going to be based off of the feudal samurai culture of Japan from a couple hundred years ago. Things would happen, things would go well, Lucas and Leanne would bond and talk about their families and some magic tricks, they would find the spirit stone in an underwater cave, and it would be the stone of Time.
When they got back on shore, they would see the lizards already there, already captured the ThunderCats, and demanding the stone. Instead, Leanne would use it, taking them back over a thousand years, and the search would begin again so that they would have the upper hand on Mumm-Ra. From there, there would be many adventures in finding the spirit stones split up between the villages and meeting the ancestors of their friends to get the stones back. The first place they go to is the village in the last chapter, where they find a "witch" cat in the village of Taeron, who had been exiled from it for her use of magic, where she would mainly use her power to collect sounds that she enjoyed, like children's laughter, or the sound of birds in the early morning. She would also end up being a love interest for Panthro, and the two of them would get along well and have their fling before the ThunderCats started travelling again - after making sure the village had their lessons in tolerance when Leanne and Lucas, a witch and a warlock, save the day. They would also find Leanne's Nana and Garflin and talk about their future, finding out more about magic and slowly starting to master it, getting more telekinetic abilities and things. She would also find out more about Lucas, and about his cousin Lizzie, who was basically his entire world since he's been pushed relentlessly into magic since he was a kid. She was the only one that seemed to get the idea that magic in the family wasn't everything, even though it was still one of the things she loved. She would also find out that Lizzie was sick with a unique disease that only afflicted magic users where the magic in her body was actually draining her life-force and there was no known cure, so Lucas explains that he found out about this other world through a few experimentations in transportation magic and he would come to Third Earth and look for Mumm-Ra to get him to help him create a cure to save her life.
This is the part where things get a bit fuzzy, since I hadn't really thought too far ahead when I was writing this out, but eventually they would all team up together, use the time stone to take them forward back to their own time and they would defeat Mumm-Ra in a fierce and epic battle, that would also end up killing Pumyra and a few other minions. Leanne would have also found out by this point that the 'reason' attached to the Jewel of Omens that brought her to Third earth in the first place was that her Nana wanted to see Garflin again, but since so much time has passed, the next best thing is to find his grave, and she goes to where he was buried, alongside his wife and family that he had after Leanne's Nana had come back to see that he had moved on, since in her time, when she finally figured out how to transport herself between the two worlds, Garflin had moved on and made a new life for himself. So she went home and stayed with the grandfather that Leanne knew about and had a life for herself and so on. So Leanne figures out how to get herself home after visiting the gravesite, saying tearful goodbyes to everyone and she would be back in her attic, which had been completely emptied out. She would go downstairs and she would be reunited with her mother, and she would explain what happened to her, that she knew everything, and her life would slowly get better over the course of a month. Leanne's mother would get back with her family, have them teach Leanne magic, the two of them starting to understand each other more and Leanne would learn more about her family. She would find Lucas and the two of them would be internet friends and talk to each other all the time.
After a month, Leanne would use the Jewel of Omens to go back to Third Earth to visit her friends, only to find out 100 years had passed, and the stones of power had been sealed away for the protection of everyone, so she couldn't use them to see Lion-O and the others again, though WilyKit was still alive at 110. She would give Leanne the story about how Lion-O went on to unite the animals together into a great Senate that took over the continent and how peace reigned throughout his rule, that he used together with Tygra to make a diarchy rather than a monarchy. Tygra would have married Cheetara, and Lion-O would have ruled with a queen that was a relative of Pumyra's. Panthro would have been sent back to live with his magical lover 1000 years before then, and WilyKat and Kit ended up finding the ruins of El Dara, which they spent a great deal of time in for most of their lives, finding ways to make it better and their families happier, even though they were separated from them for so long they didn't know where they were anymore and never managed to find them again. Leanne thanks Kit for telling her, spending the day with her and watching over her family, seeing her kids and grandkids and making friends with them. By the time the sun sets, Leanne goes to Kit to find her sleeping in a chair, and when she shakes her shoulder to try to wake her up for dinner, she doesn't move, and Leanne realizes that she's died of old age. She informs the family, who thank her for coming back and being with her on her final day. She goes home to grieve the loss of her friends, but she can at least know that she left them with their own happy endings, and now she can find her own.
The story ends with Leanne returning home, promising to research more about magic in the world, and makes visits back to Third Earth to make sure things are well every now and then, since the world is still at peace over there with Mumm-Ra gone. In the epilogue, she gets together with Lucas, and she welcomes him into her family, and so does everyone else. Elizabeth unfortunately doesn't get better, but she lives out the rest of her years in comfort, surrounded by her loving family before passing away.
And that's all I had for that. So, I hope that's something that can give you guys a bit of comfort in how I'm ending the story. I just don't really feel like it's worth writing anymore. Thanks to those of you who stuck around this long, hope you all have a great life and if you feel like I didn't do any of this stuff justice, you can always write up your own story.
Some of you might be happy to know that working on this stuff was something that gave me the inspiration to pursue my own dreams and I'm graduating from college with a Bachelor's degree in Writing and Communications this spring. Thank you for encouraging me, and showing me that my dreams are worth pursuing.
This story is dedicated to all of you, thank you all so much.
