chapter 13 Between brothers
Panthro was watching the boarder of the Village and saw Grune coming with the Lizard army.
He went to the hut where the others were. "Bad news the village is surrounded." Panthro said.
"How many troops?" Cheetara asked.
"Well I say it looks like all of them." he said.
"That's bad news for us," Bengali said.
"I can tell and I can't even see!" Lynx-o said.
"What is taking them so long?" Wilykit asked.
"Taking who?" Anet asked.
"Lion-o and Tygra," Wilykit said.
"Yes they went after the spirit stone," Anet said.
"Maybe something went wrong." Cheetara said.
"I sense a strong loving yet troubled presence with in, they face a greater challenge in there." Anet said.
"What?" Cheetara asked.
"Themselves by evening bell tomorrow Lion-o will know what is like for his brother and side he has never seen from him before and soon find out who he is meant to be with." Anet said.
In the Astral plane. "This place gives me the creeps." Tygra said.
"We've been walking forever will we ever find it?" Lion-o asked.
"The elephants say if we can't find something we are not looking at the big picture." Tygra said.
"Yeah it could be right under our noses." Lion-o said.
"If we find it I'm keep it just in case it's dangerous." Tygra said.
"The stone is my responsibility," Lion-o said.
"It hasn't chosen you yet I just hope you don't do something foolish." Tygra said.
"It will, and I'm not cub anymore! You are just father was!" Lion-o said.
"Lion-o your my responsibility," Tygra said.
"You always tell me that, but I am older now and I can take care of myself," Lion-o said.
Mum-Ra was following them he was intent on showing them something to make them destroy each other so he could get both stones.
Meanwhile outside the plane Panthro was setting up bombs. Panella was helping him.
Tygra and Lion-o were arguing.
"You've always been jealous of what I have." Lion-o said.
"No, I am happy for what you have, you just don't use your head and you get on my last nerve at times," Tygra said.
"Sometimes you get on my last nerve too!" Lion-o said.
Soon they found themselves in memory.
"It's a memory," Tygra said.
"Yes it's a bad one," Lion-o said.
"Our trip to forbidden ruins how could I forget," Tygra said.
"Wait for me Tygra," young Lion-o said.
"Are you sure you want to keep going? They say ever visits the ruins is never heard from again." young Tygra said sounding concerned.
"I can show you how brave I am and that I can handle myself I'm not baby!" young Lion-o said.
"Okay if you insist," young Tygra said."But don't come crying to me if you get hurt this was your idea," he said.
"I'll show you!" young Lion-o said. "After all I am the heir to the kingdom of Thundera." he said.
"Never mind let's go," young Tygra said.
Tygra crossed the log quickly but nearly fell.
"I hate this memory because you knocked me into the pit!" Lion-o said.
"I didn't it broke on it's own!" Tygra said.
Lion-o began to cross the log without thinking twice. "Lion-o get off the log and go around I nearly fell when crossed it's old rotten it probably can longer support weight!" Tygra called.
"I'm not a baby! I can do what I want so don't tell me what to do! You are not father!" Lion-o said and continued to cross. The creaked and the broke from the strain of Lion-o's weight.
"LION-O!" Young Tygra said.
Lion-o was shocked Tygra was right Tygra didn't break it. Tygra was about step on the break log to help him.
Meanwhile the lizard army was waiting. Slithe and Grune were talking.
"You would betray Mum-Ra for real?" Slithe asked.
Grune just smirked.
"You know Grune for cat you are quite the snake!" Slithe said.
In the astral plane Lion-o and Tygra saw the memory.
"Tygra help!" young Lion-o said.
Young Tygra ran off.
"Don't leave!" young Lion-o shouted.
"How could leave your own brother!" Lion-o said.
"Lion-o you don't know why I left you don't know why I do these things," Tygra said.
"You always beat me and sure you give advise but you never let me learn because you think I'm helpless and that you would be a better king!" Lion-o said. "Let's fight!" He said.
"Okay if I can get through to you after breaking through your thick skull!" Tygra said.
The Thundercats went on the defense. Panthro saw Grune and started to fight him.
The Elephants were meditating.
"Anet said I's see another side of you it was inevitable!" Lion-o said.
"You always do things without thinking I promised mother that I would look after you!" Tygra said. "All I did giving advise, lending a hand, I did it because I intended to keep my promise, but sometimes you don't wish to understand. You don't know how valued you are, but sometimes I don't think you want to see it!" he said,
They continued to fight and Lion-o was fell down into the pit after slipping. "Tygra whatever I am to you a brother, a partner, a rival or a responsibility we called the same father we are both sons of Claudius." Lion-o said.
"Father he was there too." Tygra said. "True I ran but it was to get help." he said.
Young Tygra told Claudius what happened.
Tygra pulled Lion-o up. "I know whatever you will soon see from me it will never cause you harm not now not ever." Tygra said.
They fought off Mum-Ra and got the stone. Once out there the Elephants joined the fight.
Grune got sucked into the Astral plane and Panthro lost his arms.
The elephants were celebrating. "I wonder what side of my brother I will see still." Lion-o said.
"The evening bell has rang yet." Anet said.
"Yes now I know what my brother goes through, he sees me as a responsibility he made a promise to my mother that he would look after me," Lion-o said.
Lion-o went to find his brother saw Tygra and Cheetara kissing and he saw Bengali kissing Pumyra. "They make a lovely couple." Hannah said.
"Yes they do," Lion-o said.
"You know Lion-o I really care about you," Hannah said.
"I really care about you too Hannah," Lion-o said.
"So accept the betrothal and the necklace," Hannah said.
Lion-o put it around her neck. "This is grand," Lion-o said.
"It sure is," Hannah said.
