After the incident with Soul Sever they returned to his lair to ask him about the airship he had lying just outside it.
But for some reason he disappeared and so had any remnant of anything saying he might have been there except for his deactivated nechro-mechs.
Seeing no reason to look further into it they got to work on the airship with Panthro spotting out different problems and telling everyone what they needed to do.
Everyone had done their part in the repairs and in order to make Panthro familiar with it they used some of the machinery from the ThunderTank to help fix it up as well as some random bits and pieces from the nearby junkyard.
The next morning everyone got up and worked on the airship and putting together different pieces and adding on some new ones.
Kat and Kit sat on their hover boards at the side of the ship as they were painting the ThunderCats' symbol on it.
"I can't believe we found an airship in Soul Sever's lair." Said Kat as he went up and down along the metal while painting in the red while Kit painted in the black panther head.
Carter held up his hand with a small flame coming out and with a little effort he managed to concentrate the flame enough so it was a small stream of fire that he used to weld together a couple of pieces of metal.
When he was done he looked back at Tygra and he nodded in approval.
"I'd say we've done a pretty good job putting this hunk of junk back together again." Said Tygra.
Cheetara nodded in agreement as she put up a piece on the ship where Cassandra was quick to come over and weld some of the metal together.
"You two decide on a name yet?" Asked Cheetara to the twins.
"Sure did!" Yelled Kit in excitement as she and her brother popped their heads up over the side of the ship.
"Say hello to The Feliner!" Yelled Kat happily.
Adam's gaze turned upwards.
"Hard to believe it's going to take us up there, past the clouds to where the Book of Omens says the third stone is." Said Adam as he couldn't belive it.
Pumyra smiled as she put her hands on his shoulders.
"Believe it, you're the one who got us here." Said Pumyra.
Adam smiled went down to the front of the ship where Panthro was working inside the ship's engine.
He sat at the top of the entrance.
"How's it looking down there, Panthro?!" Asked Adam.
"Pretty good!" Replied Panthro.
He stood up and was wiping his robotic hands of any latent grease on a rag.
"I think she just might be ready to fly." Said Panthro.
Everyone made themselves comfortable in the Feliner as Panthro fired up the engines.
It roared loudly and everyone felt a small sense of relief in knowing that they worked.
"I've got her humming now." Said Panthro as he sat in the pilot's seat.
"Who wants to take her for a spin?" Asked Panthro.
"You sure you know how to fly this thing, Panthro?" Asked Cheetara as she was a little wary at the idea of flying high in a ship that no one knew how to operate.
"If she's anything like the Thunder Tank, we got nothing to worry about." Replied Panthro said.
Panthro put his hands on the controls.
"Just gonna take her up nice and easy." Said Panthro as he carefully moved the controls, and the ship moved upwards.
They seemed fine at first until they all suddenly started swaying to the right and left.
Everyone tried to keep a hold on their seat as Panthro tried to steady the ship.
"Okay, so it isn't anything like the ThunderTank!" Yelled Panthro.
He looked up to see just where they were and his eyes bugged out of his head.
"Are we really that high up?!" Asked Panthro as he let out a high-pitched yelp.
"Don't tell me you're scared of heights!" Yelled Adam.
"I didn't know until just now!" Yelled Panthro as he was moving his hands away from the controls and covering his eyes.
The ship swerved out of control and everyone grabbed on tightly to what they could hold on to.
"We're gonna die!" Yelled Pumyra fearfully.
"We're too cute to die!" Yelled both the kittens as they hung onto each other.
Everyone watched as they came closer and closer to a cliff and just as they were certain they were going to crash and braced for impact the ship took a sharp turn upwards and suddenly they were flying high and flying steady.
After regaining their bearings everyone looked up to see what had happened.
"There we go." Said Carter as he manned the controls from his station.
"Nothing to it." Said Carter.
"And when did you learn how to fly an airship?" Asked Cassandra.
"It just felt natural." Said Carter with a shrug.
Panthro was still scared of heights and a little humiliated that he had been outdone by Carter he covered his face again and trying not to look at the ground as they flew over it.
"No wonder your dad's a pilot." Said Adam.
Carter grinned at him and focused on flying the airship while the others went over to the window and wanting to see how Third Earth looked below them.
"Guys, you gotta see this!" Yelled Kat.
Everyone who was able went over to the windows and saw the huge areas below them.
"It's breathtaking." Said Pumyra in awe.
Adam looked out the window and was seeing all the different territories of all the different lands they had ventured to.
"Look, there's Dog City!" Yelled Kit excitedly.
"I think I see the Elephant Village!" Yelled Kat.
"The Enchanted Forest!" Yelled Kit.
"It's the Fishman Oasis!" Yelled Kat.
Adam looked down at them all with a small smile.
"Panthro!" Yelled Cheetara as she looked out the window.
"You're missing this!" Yelled Cheetara.
Panthro stayed glued to his seat as his eyes shut tight and his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"See it fine from here." Said Panthro firmly.
"Third Earth looks so small from up here, all the different nations look like a unified whole." Said Adam as he gazed out from where he was sitting.
"Maybe one day." Said Adam as he turned to his friend.
"Let's see what's on the other side of those clouds, take us up, Carter." Said Adam.
He nodded and pulled the levers that controlled the airship back and the Feliner went flying higher into the sky.
They flew into a patch of dark stormy clouds and everyone was silent.
Every now and then they saw a flash of lightning as it travelled from one cloud to another.
Adam watched as the Book of Omens's compass instead of pointing upward and was pointed straight ahead.
Soon the gray clouds faded back to white and light came into view once again.
Before them lay a gigantic structure was hovering above the clouds.
"It's a city." Said Kat when he saw it.
"In the sky!" Yelled Kit as she was completely dazzled by the sight of it.
The ship shook as something exploded beside them and alarms started blaring.
"We're under attack!" Yelled Pumyra as she was standing up and was ready to fight.
"No, those were warning shots." Said Adam.
A couple more went off beside them and three more airships began to move with them.
They were smaller and more streamlined than the Feliner and gave off the appearance of a flying hawk.
"Unidentified craft, we will escort you to a landing." Said a voice that came from one of the ships.
"Failure to comply would be unwise." Said the voice.
Not wanting to risk getting into trouble Carter followed the ships to a landing area in the floating city and carefully came to a stop.
Once the ship had stopped moving and the engines had died and everyone stood up and headed for the entrance.
"Be ready for anything." Said Adam as they walked out of the ship and onto the landing pad.
Loud birdcalls were heard before the group find themselves surrounded by hawk people and all of them were bearing spears that seemed to be powered by electricity.
Everyone pulled out their weapons and were ready to fight the birds if need be.
Two more birds came towards them:
One was a short stout pigeon and the other was a tall hunchbacked but muscular vulture.
Both of them dressed in elegant robes although the vulture bore a little more fine jewellery than the pigeon.
"Look Horus, flying cats, how quaint." Said the vulture.
"But I forget my manners, we so rarely get visitors up here." Said the vulture.
He bowed slightly to them in greeting.
"I am Vultaire, Prefect of Avista City." Said Vultaire.
Everyone put their weapons down as they saw they weren't going to be attacked.
"I am Adam Ordeis, Lord of Third Earth." Said Adam.
"It is our pleasure to welcome you to our home." Said Vultaire
"Any creature as well as cats who make it up here despite their limitations are to be our guests at dinner." Said Vultaire.
"We'd be honored." Said Adam as he bowed to Vultaire in gratitude.
"Did he say 'limitations'?" Asked Tygra to Cheetara.
They followed Vultaire and Horus further into the city.
As they walked through many halls Kit and Kat had eyes as big as dinner plates as they looked out all the windows that looked down at the fluffy clouds below them.
Snarf was just as dazzled as the twins as they were following them everywhere and looking at everything.
There was a small hum throughout the city as they walked.
Soon enough Vultaire led them to a large room decorated in many tapestries as it looked down upon the rest of Avista.
In the centre of the room was a long table where no one was seated but there were many covered dishes waiting to be unveiled.
"This is truly a city of wonder, Vultaire." Said Adam as they walked further in.
Vultaire nodded.
"As you can see, in Avista, technology provides for our every need, now, enjoy a sampling of our finest cuisine." Said Vultaire.
Everyone sat at the table, as well as a few other robed birds.
"Now you kids mind your manners." Said Panthro to the kittens.
"Eat whatever's put on your plate." Said Panthro.
A couple of servants lifted up the dish coverings to show everything they had to offer them as Vultaire listed off each one.
"Millet seed casserole, larvae and bark crawler, beetles on the half-shell and the main course, rodentia tar-tar." Said Vultaire.
Everyone looked at the food and tried to hide their grimaces.
All of it was either a meal made of live bugs live fish or something that was boiled and used to be a bug.
"Good thing we packed our own lunch." Said Kit to her brother.
"Rankinbass!" Yelled both the kittens as they whispered into the magic bag which they found back in Dog City and a light flashed from it before Kat reached in and pulled out two candy fruits for him and his sister.
They began chowing down on it right away while Panthro was wondering how the heck he was supposed to eat the giant cooked caterpillar in front of him.
He saw the twins eating candy fruit and leaned down.
"You got anything else in there?" Asked Panthro.
"Eat whatever's put on your plate." Said Kat with a smug grin before he went back to eating the candy fruit.
Panthro grumbled to himself as he took a bite out of the caterpillar and was grimacing once he did.
"Everything looks so fresh." Said Adam nicely as he couldn't get on their bad side while they still have the stone.
"Enough with the formalities Adam." Said Pumyra from her seat and was looking pointedly at Adam.
"We came here for a reason." Said Pumyra.
"A Cat dispensing with manners, shocking." Said Vultaire in sarcasam.
"Please illuminate me to what you seek in our rarefied air, wisdom, culture, elegance?" Asked Vultaire.
"We know you possess a Power Stone, we need it." Said Adam.
The table was quiet for a moment before all the birds broke out in cawing laughter.
"Is that all?" Asked Vultaire as he was still laughing a little.
"An evil has fallen over Third Earth, Mumm-Ra the ever-living." Said Adam.
"That is hardly our concern up here." Said Vultaire.
"We're quite literally above it all." Said Vultaire.
Adam stood up.
"I already have the War and Spirit Stones, but only the four stones united will save Third Earth from Mumm-Ra." Said Adam.
Vultaire stood up as he was walking over to the huge window and looking down at the city.
"For centuries, we've looked down and watched the Cats rule through the War Stone." Said Vultaire as he was placing his clawed hands behind his back.
Adam was confused.
I Thought the Cats didn't know anything about the War Stone. Thought Adam.
"Seen them pit nations against each other so that they may never rise against them and you, the new leader tells me giving you our stone is the key to peace?" Asked Vultaire.
He turned around.
"I think we'll hold onto it, thank you very much." Said Vultaire.
"And if Mumm-Ra attacks you?!" Asked Adam in outrage, at the least the elephants were willing.
"While I'm sure he poses a grave threat to the Cats, remember we are superior to you in every way and that is why the Birds will always own the skies." Said Vultaire as he gestured towards the city.
Tygra smashed his fist onto the table.
"That's it!" Yelled Tygra.
He growled as he stood up.
"I've had enough of your condescending attitude, i'll bet you that stone that I can fly one of those things better than any of you!" Yelled Tygra as he pointed to the window where the crafts flew back and forth.
Again, the birds let out cawing laughter.
Cheetara quickly stood up and put her hand on Tygra's shoulder.
"Tygra, you don't even know how to fly a spacecraft." Said Carter as he as trying to deter Vultare from Tygra's challenge.
"Indeed, why would we bother?" Asked Vultaire.
"Because, if I lose." Said Tygra as he reached for Adam's chest and took out his stones.
"You get both of our stones." Said Tygra.
"What, no!" Yelled Adam as he turned around to get his stones back.
"He doesn't speak for us!" Yelled Adam as tried to change Vultaire's mind.
"Alas, on Avista, a challenge may not be withdrawn, only refused." Said Vultaire.
"We accept, in fact as Prefect, I feel obligated to take on the challenge myself!" Yelled Vultaire as he spread his wings wide in his excitement.
They all went outside where Vultare had Horus place the ship that Tygra was going to use.
Small machines had also been set up around the area for simply hovering as they waited to be activated.
"For your sake, we'll keep the rules simple." Said Vultaire.
He snapped his fingers and one of the machines went up and creating a holographic blue ring.
"The one who finishes with the most rings wins." Said Vultaire.
The other machines all went off and creating more holographic rings.
"You can count, I assume." Said Vultaire arrogantly.
"Shut your beak and fly." Said Tygra.
"Indeed, then let the challenge commence." Said Vultaire.
One of the platforms moved and bringing up a large red streamlined ship with wings that looked an awful lot like feathers to where they were.
"That looks fast." Said Kat as he was pointing to it.
"I assume you are a Cat of your word." Said Vultaire as he was looking to Adam.
"When your friend loses, I expect the other stones." Said Vultaire.
"He won't lose." Said Adam as he surely hoped as Tygra hopped into the Bird's aircraft.
Adam went over to him.
"You better not lose." Said Adam in anger.
"Don't worry, he won't." Said Cheetara as she leaned down to give Tygra a kiss on the cheek.
He smiled at her and the two of them moved back as Tygra and Vultaire started the ships' engines.
One machine hovered in front of them as they got ready as the tops of each one closing up tightly.
Once that was done the machine had two red lights glow then two yellow lights and once the blue light showed they took off.
Vultaire easily gained the lead while Tygra seemed to have a little trouble flying the Birds' ship.
Vultaire claimed the first few rings with ease with the ones he had gone through changing from blue to red.
After a few moments Tygra's ship managed to pick up some speed and he took off as he was flying through the holographic rings and changing them from blue to green.
He was quick and he soon matched Vultaire's pace with a few impressive loops and moves thrown in.
Soon enough there weren't too many rings left and Kit and Kat took to counting how many were already taken as the two airships zoomed overhead.
"They're tied!" Yelled Kit with a wide smile as they both headed for the last five rings.
Vultaire claimed two as did Tygra.
"And one ring left!" Yelled Kat excitedly.
They watched as Vultaire tried to out manoeuvre Tygra but it didn't do any good.
He had easily adapted to the technology in the airship he had been given.
Vultaire pulled back a little and everyone's eyes widened when they saw something shoot out of Vultaire's ship that exploded in front of Tygra's.
His ship started to go down and Vultaire was headed straight for the last ring.
Before he could go through it Tygra's ship took a sharp turn up and hitting the bottom of Vultaire's ship as he knocked it out of the way and flew through the final ring.
Everyone cheered at his victory.
"He did it!" Yelled Cassandra.
"Of course he did." Said Cheetara.
Tygra came back to the platform and landing the ship easily, and everyone gathered around him and congratulated him for winning.
Vultaire's ship came closer and was hovering over them.
The spot where Tygra had hit had exposed part of the ship and small sparks came out.
"A barbaric violation!" Yelled Vultaire in anger.
"And you dented my ship!" Yelled Vultaire.
"You set the rules." Said Tygra as he pointed at Vultaire.
"The one who finishes with the most rings wins." Said Tygra as he pointed out.
"I'll be taking the stone now." Said Adam as he was holding out his hands.
Vultaire let out a squawking laugh.
"You'll be lucky to leave with your lives!" Yelled Vultaire.
"This agreement is void, you forfeit your wager." Said Vultaire.
"You made a deal." Said Pumyra as she growled angrily at him.
Vultare ignored her as he stood up in his ship with his wings spreading wide.
"Escort our 'guests' to their quarters, under heavy guard." Said Vultaire.
The group soon found themselves surrounded by guards and all of them were bearing their weapons in preparation for a fight.
Vultaire looked to Horace.
"I want them gone at daybreak." Said Vultaire.
Horus nodded once.
The group had been escorted to a fairly nice room with plenty of things to keep them comfortable.
Tygra sat down on the large yellow couch with a huff.
"I can't believe that flying rodent." Said Tygra as he was crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Cheetara came to sit by him.
"At least Adam didn't lose the two stones he has." Said Cheetara.
"That's something, isn't it?" Asked Cheetara but no one answered her.
Adam looked down at the Book of Omens as his gaze seeing the book's compass pointing to where the stone was straight ahead of them.
"I'm so close." Said Adam.
"I say if they won't give it to us, then we take it!" Yelled Pumyra..
"Isn't that, I don't know—kinda stealing?" Asked Kit.
"And 'kinda stealing' is still stealing, we have some experience with the whole 'kinda' thing." Said Kat.
"Well, the plan is 'kinda' moot." Said Cheetara.
"The hall is filled with armed guards." Said Cheetara.
Pumyra stood up.
"Who says we have to use the hall?" Asked Pumyra.
She opened her bow and fired a stone at the window and shattering open an entrance large enough for all of them to use.
Everyone stood up in surprise.
"I say we use the hall!" Yelled Panthro.
"I'm not going out there!" Yelled Panthro in fear.
"Who needs the Birds' permission when the book will take us right to the stone?" Asked Pumyra as she was gesturing to the book.
"Orders, my King?" Asked Pumyra as she looked at Adam.
Adam looked around the room and was seeing that everyone else was ready to follow through with Pumyra's plan except for Panthro.
He raised his fist up a little bit and keeping the Book of Omens tucked under his arm.
"ThunderCats." Said Adam.
"Oh, no, don't you say it." Said Panthro as he had a feeling on what he was going to say.
"Do not say what I think you're gonna say Adam Ordies!" Yelled Panthro.
"Ho." Said Adam as he pumped his fist.
Panthro groaned.
Everyone filed out towards the hole that Pumyra had made.
They moved out onto the ledge that was just beneath and they began pulling themselves up to the roof of the room.
Panthro was the last one to leave and looked down at the clouds below them with a fearful grimace.
"Couldn't we just fight the blasted guards instead?" Asked Panthro.
"Kit, Kat, get to the Feliner with Snarf." Said Adam.
"We'll be along soon." Said Adam.
The kittens nodded and went over to the side of the nearest building with Snarf climbing up and holding onto Kit's back as the two of them easily scaled up the side of the wall and ran along a railing that would take them closer to the airship.
When they were out of sight Adam turned to the others and pointing ahead of him.
"Book says that way." Said Adam.
"Then let's go!" Yelled Pumyra.
"We're wasting—" Said Pumyra but she stopped when she heard a bang and they all looked to see Panthro was having trouble climbing up onto the roof.
He looked over his shoulder at the clouds beneath.
"I don't feel so good." Said Panthro before his eyes rolled back in his head and he fell back.
"Panthro!" Yelled Adam.
Panthro started tumbling down the side of the walls of the building.
Adam and Carter jumped down and running after him.
As Panthro kept moving further downwards with his mechanical arms kept extending.
As the walls became steeper and steeper until he fell off of the structure as the ropes from Adam and Carter's gauntlets which made him swing back and forth.
Once he saw that he was safe, Panthro let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Once he was back on his feet they left the roof and heading towards another opening in another part of the building and closer to where the Stone was.
They looked through the window and when they saw the hallway was mostly empty Pumyra used her bow to smash open another window and they went in and as making sure to be as quick and as quiet as possible.
Soon, they came to the end of the hall they had been walking through.
They stood in front of a pair of thick metal doors.
"The Book says the Stone is right ahead." Said Adam.
Panthro went over to the side as he was looking at a small contraption that was connected to the door while Tygra tried to pull the metal doors apart.
"I can't get the door open." Said Tygra as he stepped back from it.
Panthro pressed his metal fingers against the small pad on the contraption and watching as it lit up to a red color and then pressing another part that lit up green.
"State of the art security system, without passcodes, we don't pass." Said Panthro.
"We're going to let a door stop us?" Asked Pumyra.
"Pumyra, do you see another way in there?" Asked Cassandra.
With an angry scowl, Pumyra turned away and ran down the hall.
"Where's she going?" Asked Adam.
"Who knows?" Asked Tygra with a shrug.
"But I'll bet she brings back trouble." Said Tygra.
They all waited for Panthro to try and hack open the door.
As Kit and Kat neared the Feliner they saw it was guarded by a pair of birds.
They quickly hid so they wouldn't see them and watched as one of them received a message through an earpiece that was attached to his helmet.
He turned to the other guard.
"The Cats have escaped their quarters, double our patrols, they're around here somewhere!" Yelled one guard.
The twins looked at each other uneasily.
"What are we going to do?" Asked Kat.
"We can't fight the whole city." Said Kit.
"We've gotta get help, a lot of it!" Yelled Kit.
There was a scurrying sound beside her feet and she looked to see Snarf was running towards the guards.
"Snarf!" Yelled Kit.
But he didn't listen and kept on running.
"What is he doing?" Asked Kit.
"Creating a distraction." Replied Kat with a grin.
Snarf ran up behind the guards and let out a loud mewl to get their attention.
"There's one of them now!" Yelled One of the guards.
He reached down to try and grab him but Snarf was quicker and started biting his arm and ripping off his feathers until there was nothing but skin.
The guard pulled away and glared at the little creature as he ran off ith feathers still in his mouth.
The two guards let out bird-like calls as they chased after him.
"Don't let it get away!" Yelled one of the guards.
Once they were out of sight the twins ran for the Feliner and quickly getting on board.
"Now how do we get out of here?" Asked Kat once they were inside.
"We can't fly the Feliner." Said Kat.
"Since when have we needed a ship to fly?" Asked Kit as she pulled up her hover board.
Kat grinned and took his.
The pair flew down from the city of Avista to the earth below and planned on getting some help.
Panthro frowned because from what he could tell the combination was very complex as sometimes needing two buttons pushed at the same time or three or more.
"Maybe we should get off this city before they throw us off." Said Panthro as he kept trying to hack.
A few grunts were heard and everyone looked to see Pumyra dragging Vultaire in by the neck.
Adam's eyes widened.
"Pumyra, what are you doing?!" Asked Adam in shock.
With effort Pumyra pushed Vultaire down to his knees.
"We need passcodes, well, this is our passcode." Said Pumyra as she gestured to Vultaire.
Vultaire glared at her.
"You're all a bunch of savages!" Yelled Vultaire in anger.
Pumyra lifted up her hand with her claws extending.
"Now, you being so refined and all, you do know how to open a door for a lady?" Asked Pumyra.
"It would be my pleasure." Said Vultaire as he still glared at her.
She pushed him towards the security pad and he began putting in the passcode.
The doors slid open easily and the group walked into the room full of all kinds of technological circuitry all along the walls and floors.
In the centre of the room hovering in a vortex of light was the stone they had been searching for.
"Incredible." Said Cheetara as she breathed in awe when she saw it.
"You call us snobs, yet the Cats have always looked down on others, taking whatever they wished." Said Vultaire.
"That's how Cats were." Said Adam.
"But I've been working to change that, since I've became in charge."
"By stealing our stone?!" Asked Vultaire in anger.
"It's not stealing if it belonged to him." Replied a voice.
They looked around and saw Adira coming out from the shadows.
"Adira?" Asked both Adam and Carter.
Before Cassandra could ask, Panthro sent her a glare, telling her that he'll explain later.
"I'm afraid you must hand over the Tech Stone over to Adam, Vultaire." Said Adira.
Vultaire looked at her in shock.
"You see, once the stones are united, not only will Adam will be able to take down Mumm-Ra but he will finally stop the Black Rocks." Said Adira.
"Did your feral minds ever stop to ask why the stones were scattered in the first place?" Asked Vultaire.
"I already know why, but that doesn't matter now." Said Adira.
"We just figured they were, you know lost." Said Tygra said with a shrug.
Vultaire sighed.
"Not lost, separated." Said Vultaire as he was stepping closer to the stone.
"By our ancestors, Centuries ago, after Mumm-Ra's ship crashed, his animal servants were free to inhabit Third Earth, the question remained: What to do with the four stones of power, they were deemed too powerful for any one species to possess, so it was decided each would be given to an animal race that could protect it, meaning the strong would get stronger, and the weak well, we know what became of them, the Cats, of course, chose to take the War Stone." Said Vultaire.
"And the Birds took the Tech Stone." Said Adam.
"While the other animals feared and shunned Mumm-Ra's technology, we Avistans embraced the Tech Stone's power." Said Vultaire.
"And built all that you see here." Said Vultaire as he gestured all around.
"Let's unhook this thing and get out of here." Said Adam.
"I'm afraid you can't take the stone." Said Vultaire.
"You don't get it." Said Pumyra.
"We're not asking anymore." Said Pumyra as her paitchance was wearing thin.
"And again, you fail to grasp simple concepts." Said Vultaire as he wagged his claw around, like he was lecturing a child.
"The Tech Stone generates anti-gravity emissions that keep the entire city afloat." Said Vultaire.
"So if we take the stone." Said Cassandra as her eyes were widening at this new realization.
"It will only be moments before this whole place crashes to the ground like a rock." Said Vultaire as he closed his eyes.
"The city will fall regardless if Adam takes the Stone or not." Said Adira.
They looked at her in shock.
"Let me tell you a little about those stones, if all six aren't united, then the Black Rocks will activated and destroy everything and everyone in their path." Said Adira.
"You mean if their not all united?" Asked Adam as he couldn't finish that question.
"Then all worlds will fall, which would you prefer, a fallen city, or a fallen world?" Asked Adira as she looked at the,
Everyone glanced at each other well except for Pumyra whose eyes were set on the Tech Stone exchanged nervous glances while trying to make a difficult choice.
Taking the stone from where it was resting would practically mean sentencing everyone in Avista to death but if the stone is not taken, then all the animal races, as well as the other worlds will fall.
Pumyra stepped forward towards the stone.
Adam quickly reached out and grabbed her hand.
"I can't." Said Adam.
"But you have to." Said Pumyra.
She turned towards him.
"For our people." Said Pumyra as she was gesturing towards the cats.
"We can find another to take the Stone's powers but I won't destroy lives like Mumm-Ra does!" Yelled Adam.
Adira smirked.
He's proving more worthy of the Stones as time passes on. Thought Adira.
Pumyra scowled angrily and pushed Adam back and was snarling.
"If you won't make the tough choices then I will!" Yelled Pumyra.
She turned and ran for the stone.
"Pumyra, no!" Yelled Adam.
She shoved Vultaire out of the way.
Just as she reached for the stone, a gun shot out a bolt of lightning at her and she let out a cry as she fell to the floor unconscious.
An alarm blared loudly through the room.
"Oops." Said Vultaire with a seemingly innocent shrug.
"Did I forget to disarm the electric shield?" Asked Vultaire.
It was only moments later that the room became filled with armed guards who quickly surrounded them.
Horus fell in just behind them with his hands folded neatly in front of him as he looked at the group.
"Now Horus, take this trash and throw them off this city." Said Vultaire.
The pigeon nodded as he gave the signal for the guards to move them out of the room and they all did so as they did not want to be zapped by their weapons.
A pair of guards grabbed the unconscious Pumyra by the arms and dragged her along and leading the group to whatever fate Vultaire had planned for them.
