chapter 43 the dragon's canyon

Lion-o and the others had to go to get the next stone they also had to go to Satara city to find Snarf. "Okay to go through to the next stone we have to go through this valley called the dragon's canyon." Tygra said.

"Yes, so we better get moving," Panthro said.

Three cats came up. "Hello good to see fellow cats." the male cat said.

"Hello I'm Lion-o lord of the Thundercats." Lion-o said.

"I'm Calvin, and this is my wife Katrina and our assistant Loni." Calvin said. "We are going to Satara city and I want to get there before my wife has her cub." he said.

"Don't worry how are you going to get there?" Tygra asked.

"The only way there is a deadly route called the Dragon's canyon." Katrina said.

"Yikes," Lynx-o said.

"We have to go through there too." Lion-o said. "We'll protect you," he said.

"I figure I can provide some protection too," Dobo said. "I can smell anything coming."

"Okay then let's go," Lion-o said.

The Thundercats and their new friends saw the entrance to the Dragon's canyon. "Look at this how terrible!" Katrina said.

"What does it say?" Tygra asked.

"It says give up all hope.'" Pumyra said.

"That is awful," Wilykat said.

"I know," Lion-o said. "But we must go through any way." he said.

Liosia could see Lion-o was blocking off his feelings.

"We just have to push forward." Panthro said.

"Good idea," Cheetara said.

So they went into the dragon's canyon.

"I wonder why it's called the dragon's canyon," Wilykat said.

"We might find out later. This place gives me the willies." Panthro said.

"Agreed," Tygra said.

"Now let's get through this and out of here." Pumyra said.

So they went through and night fell so they set up camp.

Liosia set her sleeping mat next to Lion-o's. "Lion-o are you okay?" Liosia asked. "All you could think about in the forest was finding Snarf." she said.

"I'm fine I'm just letting my mind judge instead of my feelings." Lion-o said.

"Now you aren't letting yourself feel anything," Liosia said.

"We better get to sleep," Lion-o said.

"Yes we should," Liosia said.

The next morning they began to continue to the other side of the dragon's canyon.

Lion-o heard something. "I think I hear growling," he said.

"I heard it too," Wilykat said.

"Same here," Wilykit said.

"It could just be the wind." Cheetara said.

"Unless the wind smells like a large beast." Dobo said.

"Or has wings," Lynx-o said.

Then a big creature came down it was dragon.

"We now know why it's called the Dragon's canyon." Tygra said.

Lion-o got the sword of omens out. "Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats HO!" Lion-o said.

Lion-o fought the dragon. Pumyra helped by firing her pellets at it. Cheetara, Tygra, and Panthro help get the other's through.

The dragon got slammed into the canyon wall. It shook itself off and ran away.

"That takes care of that," Lion-o said.

"Are you hurt?" Pumyra asked.

"I'm okay," Lion-o said.

They met up with others and saw Satara city in sight.

"Great looks like nothing but smooth sailing from here." Tygra said.

Katrina exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Dobo asked.

"The cub is coming." Katrina said.

"Oh dear," Wilykat said.

"What are we going to do?" Wilykit asked.

"That's not good," Lynx-o said.

"Don't worry everyone I'm also a trained midwife and read up on how to deliver a cub." Pumyra said.

"Huh?" Dobo said.

"Both of Pumyra's dead parents were doctors and Lynx-o her caretaker didn't buy her picture books because she insisted on reading the medical books. She told she read them so many times she knows it all by heart so we can trust her." Bengali said.

"I hope so," Calvin said.

"Okay their is a cave over there." Pumyra said. "Okay, I need everyone's help." she said.

"Your in charge," Lion-o said.

"Okay," Pumyra said. "Tygra water," she said.

Tygra ran off. "Wilykit and Wilykat a blanket." she said.

"Okay," they said.

"Dobo a small knife to cut the cord." Pumyra said.

Dobo hurried.

"Panthro a thin cord to tie off the cord." she said.

"Got it." Panthro said.

"Lion-o rags," Pumyra said.

"On it," Lion-o said.

"Bengali something in the medical bag to use as disinfectant." she said.

"Gotcha ya," he said.

"Cheetara and Liosia come with me," Pumyra said.

In the cave.

"You are doing great Katrina," Pumyra said. "Tygra where's that water?!" she called.

"Get ready to push," Pumyra said.

Tygra came up.

"One, two, three push!" she said.

Katrina screamed and Tygra fainted.

Soon a cub was crying. "It's a boy!" Pumyra said.

"So are you going to see the cub or you going to faint again?" Dobo asked.

"No, I'm good," Tygra said.

Pumyra came out. "Lion-o you have to see this." Pumyra said.

Lion-o came in.

He saw the little cub. He was so tiny.

"He sounds healthy," Lynx-o said.

"I've had a lot on my mind lately but now seeing your new cub has given me new strength." Lion-o said.

"I know what I want to name our son Leonardo it means lion's strength." Katrina said.

"That is a perfect name," Calvin said.

"Liosia I thought I was being strong but seeing that family made me think how I feel about Snarf and how I feel about you now let's go," Lion-o said.

The Thundercats moved forward in the Thundertank and a giant lizard war bot headed for the city. "Oh no! This is not good!" Tygra said.
