Months have past since Mumm-Ra had the Tech Stone and looking back now the world seemed full of hope after that initial victory over Mumm-Ra.
The first step in overcoming the difficulties that came with building a new home.
Having the allies who aided him in the fight cheer as he raised the Sword of Omens gleaming high up in the air.
But apparently there was a slip up, when Kit and Kat were gathering forced Mumm-Ra had attack most of the animal nations because they were ungarded.
Soon after Mumm-Ra's forces swarmed Third Earth mere months afterwards.
The City of Dogs fell first, then the Fishmen Oasis and then the Elephant City and many more.
The survivors of the fallen nations banded together to oppose Mumm-Ra but even now their forces were dwindling while Mumm-Ra's grew stronger.
Adam was looking at his sword and wondered on wherever or not he failed.
Shortly after the fall of Avista the ThunderCats used the Book of Omens to locate the Fourth and Last Power Stone on Third Earth.
But for some odd reason, the Book couldn't locate the Stone, which means, did it leave Third Earth?
"Adam!" Yelled a voice.
Adam's head jolted up as he snapped out of his thoughts.
"Y-yeah!" Yelled Adam as he scratched his head with a slight grin on his face as he was hiding the anxiety he was harboring in his head.
"Stop daydreaming, the situation grows dire in Magi-Oar." Said Cassandra as she walked over.
"We have to decide our next course of action soon or we'll lose more ground to Mumm-Ra!" Yelled Cassandra.
"Sorry, my head's not in the game today." Said Adam as he has been loosing focus lately.
"Well, get it together, we can't afford to have our leader musing about while Mumm-Ra's forces siege the forest." Said Carter as he went over to him.
Cheetara looked down at Adam who was completely nonchalant as if he had no concept whatsoever of what was going on.
A frown appeared across her forehead as she turned back to the map.
"Onto the war efforts, I propose we." Said Cheetara as she trailed off.
Adam sighed as he was leaning back into the chair.
As it was right now Mumm-Ra had dominion over almost half of the planet and was still gaining.
Meanwhile, the allied forces were struggling to keep control over the territories they had held for over 5000 years back when they first landed on Third Earth.
"Surrender." Said Cheetara as Adam began to focus again.
Whoa Wait What, did he hear that right?
Did Cheetara just come up with the idea of surrendering?
The strong willed, optimistic Cheetara wants to surrender?
"Wh-" Said Adam before he was cut short by a deep growl.
"I agree." Said Panthro with his arms folded.
"What's the point of fighting anymore?" Asked Panthro.
This did not sound like Panthro at all, usually he would go down fighting.
"Either we give up or Mumm-Ra will kill us all!" Yelled Panthro.
"Not you too, Panthro?" Asked Carter.
"Why would they?" Asked Cassandra under her breath.
Adam stood up and knocking his chair over.
"Listen to yourselves, how can you give up on the rebellion so easily?!" Yelled Adam in shock and anger.
"We're the last hope for Third Earth and if we won't fight for Third Earth who will?!" Asked Adam as he slammed his gauntlet-clad hands onto the table.
"Adam face it, we're losing more and more troops every day while Mumm-Ra grows stronger every second, he's unbeatable, we've lost!" Yelled Tygra as he growled.
''I've beaten him once, I'll-" Said Adam before he was cut off.
"You'll die, you got lucky the last time!" Yelled Tygra.
"This won't be like Avista, Mumm-Ra won't surrounded by a hundred elephants and fishmen!" Yelled Tygra.
"Next time, you'll be alone and you'll lose." Said Tygra.
"I'm done, i'll be gone by tomorrow." Said Tygra as his claws dug into the table and knocking it over before he stormed out of the tent.
He turned and shot a scowl towards Adam.
"I'm sure Claudus and Lion-O would've loved to see you throw the lives of our soldiers away, you're no leader, not my leader." Said Tygra with that last part under his breath as he walked away.
Panthro followed suit and was not even looking in Adam's direction while doing so.
He stared at the opening in disbelief at what had just happened.
"Cheetara I-" Said Adam before he was cut off again.
"Adam, I hate to say it but we can't do this anymore, i'm sick of waking up every morning to see more and more of our people dead." Said Cheetara with grim.
"If you have any sense of logic left, you should come with us and surrender, maybe Mumm-Ra will spare the other rebels, or what remains of them, at least." Said Cheetara.
"Please consider this Adam, I know you can set aside your pride and do what's right for our people." Said Cheetara before walking out into the night as well.
He slumped down into the chair.
The last of the ThunderCats had just abandoned him.
Kit and Kat had long been gone off to their own endeavors after that incident.
Pumyra had betrayed him years ago.
And now the only ones left by his side was Carter and Cassandra.
Each day more and more of his allies deserted him and joined Mumm-Ra's forces.
Is the war already lost? Thought Adam.
Luckily just the day before the rebellion had managed to take control of Mount Plun-Darr and were celebrating the victory.
Suddenly the other leaders of the animals, Dogs, Elephants, Fishman and Berbils have come to him as well.
"I am sorry to say this but I have come to tell you that the foolishly-made alliance between our kinds is broken." Said Anet.
"What, why?!" Yelled Cassandra in confusion.
"Surely you must know the reason, the war is lost." Said Anet.
No further words were spoken as the gray giant elephant turned and walked away slowly.
The Fishman, The Berbils and the Dogs turned away too
Adam before walking back to his tent.
He looked as the walls of his tent were adorned with war plans and maps.
The floors scattered with crushed papers.
Beside the armour stand next to his bed was a heavily scarred table with papers and the Book of Omens and memorabilia of better times scattered across it.
He sat down on his bed.
Cassandra and Carter entered into the tent as well.
"Those idiots, have they not seen what Mumm-Ra has done?!" Asked Cassandra in anger.
"I guess they haven't." Said Adam.
"Well I kinda see their point." Said Cart quietly.
Unfourtantly Cassandra heard that.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME, YOU FAT ASS?!" Yelled Cassandra as Adam held her back.
"No, no, I just mean that their scared, because most of them had their homes taken away from and they want their life back again." Said Carter as he reasoned.
"Nobody said being in a Rebellion was easy." Said Cassandra.
Adam began to block out their conversation as he was starting to think.
Could Mumm-Ra be using his magic to cause conflict amongst them? Thought Adam in his mind.
He snapped his fingers, which caught Carter and Cassandra's attentions.
"I think I figured it out." Said Adam.
"Figured what out?" Asked both Carter and Cassandra.
"Why their suddenly leaving, what if Mumm-Ra used a spell to use their fear to control them?" Asked Adam.
"I wouldn't put it past that demon to try a trick that." Said Carter.
"Then we need to figure out how to break the spell." Said Cassandra.
"I don't think that's enough." Said Adam.
"Why's that?" Asked Cassandra in confusion.
"Even if the spell is broken, they'll still have their fear, we need to find someway to prove that their is hope." Said Adam.
It took them all night but they found nothing.
The next morning the rebels who left were meeting with Mumm-Ra at a hill.
Mumm-Ra himself was there.
"Ah, I see you all made a correct choice." Said Mumm-Ra with a smirk at the idea of the rebellion being over.
"Yes." Said Tygra as he spoke for them.
"Good." Said Mumm-Ra.
He then smiled.
Adam, Carter and Cassandra came out of their tents and noticed that everyone was gone.
"They've really left." Said Adam as he sighed, knowing his original companions at the start of his journey, aside from Carter and Cassandra have left him.
"It's alright, one day we'll get them back." Said Carter as both he and Cassandra were right beside him, no matter what.
Rather sad though, what started as an army is now just three people.
But they would rebuild and bring in a new era.
Until then the war would go on, they would fight until their last breath until Mumm-Ra was beaten forever.
A/N: My apologies if this is short, but this all i have to go on, i'm developing an arc where Adam, Carter and Cassandra would have to find a way to battle Mumm-Ra on their own and break the spell Mumm-Ra placed on their friends, also Andrea will have a redemption arc soon.
