REALITY TRIP
CHAPTER 7: THUNDERCATS
The mutants had appeared in what looked like a forest.
"You guys suppose we're going to meet Robin Hood or something now?" Bobby joked. "Given what we've already been through I wouldn't be surprised." Scott said to him.
"Well I for one am getting sick of all this stuff." Logan said to everyone, who was getting a little agitated by all of this. "I say we just make camp somewhere and wait for the next time that thing is ready."
"Ja after that last von I zink ve all could use a break." Kurt said a little tired after the gladiator thing.
They found a small clearing easily enough, it was right next to a small river so everyone took the time to relax a little. Everyone was getting at ease. Vincent had sat down by a tree and a smile grew on his face.
Rogue noticed this and sat down next to him. "What are ya smiling about?" He looked to her. "It's silly but I suddenly got this image of us camping out in the wilderness or something like that." Rogue raised an eyebrow at this. "Yeah I know, but I've never been camping so...this is most likely the closest thing I've been to."
"You've never been camping?" They both turned to see Amanda and Kurt walking up with his arm and tail wrapped around her waist.
"Nope. I grew up in an orphanage in the city remember? Couldn't just take all those kids into the woods or something."
"Ya didn't miss much. Before all the new recruits showed up, tha Professor sent all of us on a "team buildin'" exercises at this camp run by a drill instructor." Rogue said at the not so pleasant memory.
"Oh ja. I remember zat, it vasn't fun and if I remember you asked if anyvone could hotwire a bus." Kurt said smiling at his sister.
"Ah wish Vincent was there, at least he would have known how to hotwire it." She crumbled before she realized her mistake.
Both Kurt and Amada looked at Vincent, who was currently starting to sweat under their gaze. "You know how to hotwire something? From where?" Amanda stated.
Vincent looked at Rogue who had an apologizing look on her face. "Uh...no comment." They were about to continue asking, and he could only think of one thing that would send them on their way.
He reached over and kissed Rogue full on the mouth. "Dude, you have to do that now? Right in my face?" Kurt cried out. When it was apparent that he wasn't stopping or listening Kurt couldn't watch this anymore and left, Amanda went with him, since she was feeling a little awkward just standing there watching.
"What was that for?" Rogue said with a smile after he stopped. "Well that was the only thing to get ride of those two, plus I think you owed me for that little slip of the tongue." He said to her.
"Speakin' of slip of tha tongue." She said with a slightly sultry voice, and pulled him back into a kiss.
Jamie was the only one a little bored. The couples were staying together and Bobby was off making some ice sculptures for something to do, so Jamie walked up to Logan. "Mr. Logan do you mind if I take a look around?"
"What? No way kid, we got no idea what's out there." Logan sternly said to him. Then Jamie used his secret weapon. He gave Logan his puppy-dog eyes. Logan stared at him; this wouldn't persuade him.
Then Jamie stuck out his lip and started quivering it. Logan just groaned. THAT had done it. "Alright, alright, just stop it. You can go but NOT too far got it?" Jamie's face instantly went back to normal and he smiled at him. "Thanks Mr. Logan I will."
As Jamie left Logan just grumbled to himself about getting soft in his old age.
*****
Wiley Kit the youngest of the Thundercats (or thunderkittens as they were sometimes called) was running through the treetops. She had been out and she and her brother had split up and look for some berries for the evening. Unfortunately she had run into Monkian and Jackalman.
Which was why she was running through the treetops. "You mutants couldn't catch a cold." She sent the insult to them with a laugh in her voice. While she did that though she hadn't seen that the branch she had just stepped on wasn't strong enough for her and it broke.
She hit the ground hard, but thankfully not too hard to cause serious injury. She was slowly forcing herself up off the ground. Then was suddenly grabbed by the back of her shirt and hauled up off the ground.
She found herself face to face with Monkian. "Well, well little kitten looks like not all cats land on their feet, ho-ho-ho."
"Drop dead you big ape." Wiley Kit said to his face.
"She's still got a mouth on her doesn't she?" Jackalman cackled to the ape- man. "What do you think we should do with her?"
"Let her go." Came a voice from the bushes. Out stepped Jamie looking diffidently at them.
"You're kidding?" Jackalman said. He couldn't believe this little boy was standing up to them. "You and what army is going to make us?"
"This one." Jamie said as stomped his foot hard on the ground to cause several multiples and then he did it again, and again until there was an army.
"You've got to be kidding me." Monkian said in disbelieve. The lead Jamie yelled out 'charge' and the two mutants were swarmed. Monkian dropped Wiley Kit since he was too worried about the small army of Jamies.
Wiley Kit landed not too pretty for the second time. Normally she would have cared but she was too busy watching all the boys fighting Monkian and Jackalman. It was kind of funny to see the two large half human, half animal men trying to fight them off.
After several punches, kicks, several shin shots, and even one of them bite Monkian on the leg, they had had enough. "Let's get out of here!" Jackalman screamed right before he ran. Monkian was right behind him.
"You okay?" Wiley Kit looked to see one of the boys offer her his hand. She accepted it and he helped her up. "Thanks, how did you, uh you guys do that?"
"I'm a mutant and it's my power." Another one said. "Guys I think we need to pull it together." Another said. "Yeah this gets a little confusing when there are this many of us." Said yet another Jamie.
They pulled themselves back into just one Jamie leaving an astonished Wiley Kit looking at him. She had several thoughts racing through her head at this boy who seemed to be about her age with brown hair. "Okay are you really a mutant, because you don't look like those two did, and what do you mean that's your power, and where did they all go, are there more of you, can you all do that?" She asked excitedly.
Jamie held his hands up. "Whoa slow down. Okay first yes I'm a mutant, and I don't know what you mean by 'like those two', all mutants where I come from have a special power, and my friends are over in that direction." She finished, by pointing in the direction where the others were.
"Cool can I meet them?" Kit said to him eagerly. "Uh...sure." Kit was ecstatic and grabbed his hand and moved off in the direction he pointed to.
****
Jackalman and Monkian had limped back to Mumm-ra's palace. They had a meeting planed at this time and both of them had agreed on the way here not say a word about being beaten up by a child, no matter how many of them there were.
"Where have you two been?" Slythe, the lizard-man mutant hissed at the two of them.
"Out." They both said and moved past him, with nothing but a dark expression on their faces.
They had all gathered in Mumm-ra's chamber. "Well now that we all have gathered I have a plan to rid us of those Thindercats." Mumm-ra said to them all.
How isss thisss possssible?" Slythe asked them.
Mumm-ra took it from there. "I have used a spell that I got from a certain artifact in my possession. It allows a person to call forth shadow warriors from the Abyss. Unfortunately this can only be used once since it destroys the artifact. SO THIS BETTER WORK OR YOU ALL SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!"
The mutants cringed at his threat since they knew he would do so without a second thought.
****
Back with the mutants, er the X-Men mutants that is.
Jamie came back into the little clearing with Wiley Kit right next to him. "Hey guys, I got someone I want you to meet." Everyone turned to see that Jamie had a girl roughly the same age as him only she looked kind of cat like.
"Hi I'm Wiley Kit, or just Kit for short." She said happily. "It's nice to meet you guys, Jamie told all about you guys on the way here."
Kurt and Vincent both looked at each other, and could see that they knew exactly where they had landed.
"Kid you can't just go and bring back strangers." Logan said to him.
"But she's nice and I like her." Jamie said to him, and then realized how that sounded and blushed slightly and saw the slightly amused look on Logan's face. "You know what I mean."
Kit however couldn't stop a giggle escaping her mouth and tried to cover her mouth to stop it. This caused Jamie to blush a little more.
"Don't worry mister Logan, I'm not evil or anything. Besides I think my friends at the Cat Lair might be able to help you guys or at least you'd be more comfortable inside then in the woods. Especially since you guys might be outside for the night." Kit said to him.
"She's got a point Logan." Scott said to him.
"I don't sense anything malevolent about her either." Jean also said to him.
Logan just sighed. "Why not? I might get some action or something on the way there."
*****
CAT'S LAIR
Lion-O leader of the Thundercats had just walked into the control room of the lair. He saw Tygra was on monitor duty.
"Anything happening today?" Lion-O asked pleasantly.
Tygra turned to their leader. "No it seems Mumm-ra and the mutants have taken the day off." Of course the universe hates it when you get comfortable like that and just has to mess with you, especially if you comment on it.
Thus the alarms started to go off. "Looks like you spoke too soon Tygra."
Tygra had gone to the controls and an image showed up on the screen. It showed Mumm-ra in his ever-living form, with the mutants in the lead of a small army of dark warriors. They seemed to be made of pure darkness and their black clothes were tattered and torn.
"This doesn't look well for us Lion-O." Tygra said worriedly. "Several of the Cats are not here, and you need to call them back, before Mumm-ra's forces get here."
Lion-O nodded his head and ran to the nearest exit to the outside. He drew out the Sword of Omens; in it's dagger form. He began to sweep the blade and as it grew larger he canted the ancient phrase for the signal.
"Thunder-thunder-thundercarts! HO!" As he finished, a large red and black symbol of the Thndercats rose into the air.
*****
Kit and the X-Men had reached the edge of the forest when they all saw the signal in the shy. "Oh no there has to be trouble, and the signal is coming from the Lair!" Kit said to them all. "We have to help them."
***** Meanwhile most of the Thundercats were fighting off the shadow warriors with the exception of Lynxo the blind elder and Bengali who were at the tower and were doing their best to get to the Lair.
It was a furious battle and the Cats were greatly out numbered. Panthro had downed several of them with an ice blast from his fighting sticks. When the shadow warriors were injured enough they seemed to disappear in dark smoke.
But there was too many to fight off and there were not enough of them to keep this up for long. And he knew it. "Lion-O we can't keep this up for long!" He shouted over to him.
"I know." Lion-O said as he cleaved several of the phantasms. He looked over to Wiley Kat. "Kat, where's your sister?"
"I don't know, I lost her in the forest. I was looking for her when the signal went up." He said back to him, while dodging several attacks.
Their attention was caught by the maniacal laughter of Mumm-ra. "You foolish cats think you can beet my army of darkness?" His laughter was cut off as a beam of energy cut through several of the warriors sending then back to the Abyss.
"What!? Who dares defy the will of Mumm-ra, the ever-living?" He turned to see the X-men and Kit coming from the distance.
"Hey guys I brought some new friends I hope you don't mind." Kit yelled out to them.
Monkian looked over to Jackalman. "Look it's that kid again. What should we do?"
"We attack we were surprised last time and we got the superior forces this time." Jackalman snarled out.
Pumyra was being surrounded and couldn't find a way out. Then to her astonishment Kurt had teleported next to her. "Hi need a lift?" Then before she could answer he grabbed her arm and they teleported away just as the warriors attacked.
To bad for them that they attacked each other with their weapons and they all went 'poof'. Then they reappeared a few feet away. Pumyra looked at the spot where she was and the disappearing smoke.
"Thanks." She said to Kurt. "That really must come in handy huh?" Kurt smiled and nodded at her.
Cheetara was running at top speed using her Bo staff against the warriors. That was until one of the creatures threw out a grapple and chain at the ground in her bath and used it to trip her.
She fell hard and lost her staff. She turned around to face her enemies and found several of them with swords ready to strike, then a lot of energy balls slammed into them and they disappeared.
She then found Vincent standing over her offering her his hand. "Looks like you needed some help." He said with that lopsided smile of his. She accepted his help.
"Thanks for the-watch out!" She cried out as a sword at him. She was amazed to see him actually catch it with his hand and then he punched right through his head causing him to burst into smoke.
"Okay I've had enough of this." He said as his face grew serious. He flipped the blade in the air and caught it by the handle. Then he was a blur of motion as he quickly went through many of the creatures slashing them with the sword and finally throwing it right into the chest of anther.
Vincent turned to see the surprised expression on her face. "What?" He asked innocently. "Did you think you were the only one that was fast?"
Tygra was currently battling Vultureman and the bird-man was giving him a little trouble as he was flanked by several shadow warriors. Amanda and Kitty decided to help him out. Amanda had teleported them both in and she was currently firing force bolts at the warriors.
Kitty ran right to Vultureman and phased through anything in her way. He swung at her with his weapon he she phased right through. He was about to turn around to face her but suddenly found himself halfway phased into the ground.
Kitty smiled down at him was he tried to free himself from the earth in vain. Kitty left him there while he screamed his head off about getting him out.
Jamie and Kit had joined up with Kat and together the kids made a good team as Kat gave Jamie a sling and with multiple Jamies he pelted both Jackalman and Monkian with the special glue bombs of the thunderkittens.
Let's just say that being furry and covered in glue wasn't pleasant. Especially when they fell on each other and were literally stuck with each other.
Wolverine of course was shredding everything in his warpath. Rogue was throwing and punching warriors who went flying. Scott kept blasting everything he could and Bobby made so many ice surfaces that a lot of the shadow warriors couldn't keep their footing and were easy target for Scott.
Slyth the lizard man, tried to sneak up on Jean, but she sensed him. He was about to strike when he suddenly found himself lifted into the air. "What issss going on here?" He shouted.
"Piece of advice." Jean said coldly to him. "Never try to sneak up on a telepath while thinking loudly of what you're going to do." Then she flung him into several of the warriors that were left.
Lion-O was currently battling Mumm-ra. "Foolish Cat, I don't know where you got these allies but they will not save you."
"You know what?" Lion-O said to him. "You REALLY talk too much."
They continued to battle it out. Vincent saw this and remembered something from the show. He turned to Chetara. "Hey where's the closest mirror?" She looked confused for a moment. "For Mumm-ra."
"Oh! In the Lair down the hall, take a left and then two rights and there's one on the wall." As soon as she finished he was gone in a blur.
Lion-O was battling Mumm-ra to the best of his abilities. But in this form he was a difficult opponent. "Hey band-aid breath!"
"Who dares?" He bellowed, then made the mistake of turning around and looked right into a mirror and saw his horrible reflection. He back away screaming and reverted to his weaker mummy form. [seriously that's what happens in the show, I'm not making this up]
"Noooo!" He cried out and teleported himself back into his own chambers to replenish his dark powers. Lion-O looked to see the mirror fall down and Vincent behind it.
"You know I always wondered. Why you guys don't carry mirrors around all the time? I mean wouldn't it make fighting Mumm-ra a LOT easier." Vincent asked him.
Lion-O scratched the back of his head. "Well...we never really though of it...I guess now that you mention it, it does sound like a good idea."
It didn't take long to wipe out the remaining shadow warriors and the mutants had ran off (as best as they could with multiple bruises and concussions) and of course the remaining two Thundercats had arrived just arrived.
"What kept you two?" Panthro asked them. Bengali gestured to Lynxo. "HE wouldn't leave unless he could drive."
"But he's blind." Panthro said. "Tell me about it, we kept going in circles because his interface was busted!" Bengali said throwing up his hands in frustration.
The rest of the afternoon was pretty more pleasant than that morning. Snarf who was hiding in the Thundertank the entire fight, came out when the coast was clear and started to show his thanks to the mutants by cooking up a meal for them.
They gladly accepted and were enjoying their time. Kurt felt great since he wasn't the only fuzzy person around. Bobby and Wiley Kat got along great and set up a few pranks to go off later.
Like icing up Panthro's room, sticking coloring dye in certain hair cleaners, and other things like that.
Jamie and Kit spent a lot of the time together since they were the same age and were having a blast. Until Vincent who was looking over the device with Kitty and Tygra, in order to see if they could get themselves home sooner, had noticed it was ready to go.
They decided to eat then leave, since they had no idea when they would get another chance too. After it Jamie and Kit were sitting outside looking over the valley the Cat's Lair overlooked.
"You really have to go?" Kit said sadly. She was really enjoying having someone to hang out with besides her brother. Jamie had enjoyed it also because back home he was the only person his own age.
"Yeah, I mean I like it here, but my family is back home and everyone is moat likely worried about us now." He said glumly. Kit only nodded her head in understanding.
Everyone had gathered in the hanger to wish everybody goodbye. "Well good journey to you all and I hope you get home safe." Lion-O said to them all.
They all said their thanks and were about to leave when Kit rushed up to Jamie. "I never really thanked you properly when you saved me this day so..." She quickly gave him a kiss on his cheek and slipped back to the other Cats.
Jamie just blushed and got this goofy smile on his face. Bobby slapped the boy lightly on the back. "Way to go Casanova."
There were a few laughs from both sides and then the X-Men disappeared to their new destination.
"Well I'm going to miss them." Kit said sadly.
"You mean him don't you?" Her brother teased. Kit threw a look at her brother and he knew well enough he should start running, very fast and right now. The older Cats looked on in amusement as she chased her brother around the Lair.
"You know that just reminded me." Tygra said. "I wonder what Mumm-ra is doing to the mutants?"
*****
At Mumm-ra's dark pyramid.
"GET BACK HERE YOU PATHETIC MORONS! WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL ME THEY HAD FRIENDS WHO COULD DESTROY MY SHADOW WARRIORS? YOU WILL ALL SUFFER FOR THIS!"
Mumm-ra's voice could be heard for miles around, and the screeches and screams of the evil mutants also.
"Sometimes it doesn't pay to be a villain." Jackalman groaned while running from Mumm-ra's magic fury.
NEXT UP CHAPTER 8: HANGING OUT AT STARFLEET
I'm doing a Star Trek one next. This will take place on Earth sometime after Voyager gets home. So if you have any characters from The Next Generation/DS9/Voyager you would like to see, send it to me.

Damn-my-name-was-taken: sorry about that, hopefully this one will be all right for you. Oh and one more thing...what robot?

"I know." Lion-O said as he cleaved several of the phantasms. He looked over to Wiley Kat. "Kat, where's your sister?"
"I don't know, I lost her in the forest. I was looking for her when the signal went up." He said back to him, while dodging several attacks.
Their attention was caught by the maniacal laughter of Mumm-ra. "You foolish cats think you can beet my army of darkness?" His laughter was cut off as a beam of energy cut through several of the warriors sending then back to the Abyss.
"What!? Who dares defy the will of Mumm-ra, the ever-living?" He turned to see the X-men and Kit coming from the distance.
"Hey guys I brought some new friends I hope you don't mind." Kit yelled out to them.
Monkian looked over to Jackalman. "Look it's that kid again. What should we do?"
"We attack we were surprised last time and we got the superior forces this time." Jackalman snarled out.
Pumyra was being surrounded and couldn't find a way out. Then to her astonishment Kurt had teleported next to her. "Hi need a lift?" Then before she could answer he grabbed her arm and they teleported away just as the warriors attacked.
To bad for them that they attacked each other with their weapons and they all went 'poof'. Then they reappeared a few feet away. Pumyra looked at the spot where she was and the disappearing smoke.
"Thanks." She said to Kurt. "That really must come in handy huh?" Kurt smiled and nodded at her.
Cheetara was running at top speed using her Bo staff against the warriors. That was until one of the creatures threw out a grapple and chain at the ground in her bath and used it to trip her.
She fell hard and lost her staff. She turned around to face her enemies and found several of them with swords ready to strike, then a lot of energy balls slammed into them and they disappeared.
She then found Vincent standing over her offering her his hand. "Looks like you needed some help." He said with that lopsided smile of his. She accepted his help.
"Thanks for the-watch out!" She cried out as a sword at him. She was amazed to see him actually catch it with his hand and then he punched right through his head causing him to burst into smoke.
"Okay I've had enough of this." He said as his face grew serious. He flipped the blade in the air and caught it by the handle. Then he was a blur of motion as he quickly went through many of the creatures slashing them with the sword and finally throwing it right into the chest of anther.
Vincent turned to see the surprised expression on her face. "What?" He asked innocently. "Did you think you were the only one that was fast?"
Tygra was currently battling Vultureman and the bird-man was giving him a little trouble as he was flanked by several shadow warriors. Amanda and Kitty decided to help him out. Amanda had teleported them both in and she was currently firing force bolts at the warriors.
Kitty ran right to Vultureman and phased through anything in her way. He swung at her with his weapon he she phased right through. He was about to turn around to face her but suddenly found himself halfway phased into the ground.
Kitty smiled down at him was he tried to free himself from the earth in vain. Kitty left him there while he screamed his head off about getting him out.
Jamie and Kit had joined up with Kat and together the kids made a good team as Kat gave Jamie a sling and with multiple Jamies he pelted both Jackalman and Monkian with the special glue bombs of the thunderkittens.
Let's just say that being furry and covered in glue wasn't pleasant. Especially when they fell on each other and were literally stuck with each other.
Wolverine of course was shredding everything in his warpath. Rogue was throwing and punching warriors who went flying. Scott kept blasting everything he could and Bobby made so many ice surfaces that a lot of the shadow warriors couldn't keep their footing and were easy target for Scott.
Slyth the lizard man, tried to sneak up on Jean, but she sensed him. He was about to strike when he suddenly found himself lifted into the air. "What issss going on here?" He shouted.
"Piece of advice." Jean said coldly to him. "Never try to sneak up on a telepath while thinking loudly of what you're going to do." Then she flung him into several of the warriors that were left.
Lion-O was currently battling Mumm-ra. "Foolish Cat, I don't know where you got these allies but they will not save you."
"You know what?" Lion-O said to him. "You REALLY talk too much."
They continued to battle it out. Vincent saw this and remembered something from the show. He turned to Chetara. "Hey where's the closest mirror?" She looked confused for a moment. "For Mumm-ra."
"Oh! In the Lair down the hall, take a left and then two rights and there's one on the wall." As soon as she finished he was gone in a blur.
Lion-O was battling Mumm-ra to the best of his abilities. But in this form he was a difficult opponent. "Hey band-aid breath!"
"Who dares?" He bellowed, then made the mistake of turning around and looked right into a mirror and saw his horrible reflection. He back away screaming and reverted to his weaker mummy form. [seriously that's what happens in the show, I'm not making this up]
"Noooo!" He cried out and teleported himself back into his own chambers to replenish his dark powers. Lion-O looked to see the mirror fall down and Vincent behind it.
"You know I always wondered. Why you guys don't carry mirrors around all the time? I mean wouldn't it make fighting Mumm-ra a LOT easier." Vincent asked him.
Lion-O scratched the back of his head. "Well...we never really though of it...I guess now that you mention it, it does sound like a good idea."
It didn't take long to wipe out the remaining shadow warriors and the mutants had ran off (as best as they could with multiple bruises and concussions) and of course the remaining two Thundercats had arrived just arrived.
"What kept you two?" Panthro asked them. Bengali gestured to Lynxo. "HE wouldn't leave unless he could drive."
"But he's blind." Panthro said. "Tell me about it, we kept going in circles because his interface was busted!" Bengali said throwing up his hands in frustration.
The rest of the afternoon was pretty more pleasant than that morning. Snarf who was hiding in the Thundertank the entire fight, came out when the coast was clear and started to show his thanks to the mutants by cooking up a meal for them.
They gladly accepted and were enjoying their time. Kurt felt great since he wasn't the only fuzzy person around. Bobby and Wiley Kat got along great and set up a few pranks to go off later.
Like icing up Panthro's room, sticking coloring dye in certain hair cleaners, and other things like that.
Jamie and Kit spent a lot of the time together since they were the same age and were having a blast. Until Vincent who was looking over the device with Kitty and Tygra, in order to see if they could get themselves home sooner, had noticed it was ready to go.
They decided to eat then leave, since they had no idea when they would get another chance too. After it Jamie and Kit were sitting outside looking over the valley the Cat's Lair overlooked.
"You really have to go?" Kit said sadly. She was really enjoying having someone to hang out with besides her brother. Jamie had enjoyed it also because back home he was the only person his own age.
"Yeah, I mean I like it here, but my family is back home and everyone is moat likely worried about us now." He said glumly. Kit only nodded her head in understanding.
Everyone had gathered in the hanger to wish everybody goodbye. "Well good journey to you all and I hope you get home safe." Lion-O said to them all.
They all said their thanks and were about to leave when Kit rushed up to Jamie. "I never really thanked you properly when you saved me this day so..." She quickly gave him a kiss on his cheek and slipped back to the other Cats.
Jamie just blushed and got this goofy smile on his face. Bobby slapped the boy lightly on the back. "Way to go Casanova."
There were a few laughs from both sides and then the X-Men disappeared to their new destination.
"Well I'm going to miss them." Kit said sadly.
"You mean him don't you?" Her brother teased. Kit threw a look at her brother and he knew well enough he should start running, very fast and right now. The older Cats looked on in amusement as she chased her brother around the Lair.
"You know that just reminded me." Tygra said. "I wonder what Mumm-ra is doing to the mutants?"
*****
At Mumm-ra's dark pyramid.
"GET BACK HERE YOU PATHETIC MORONS! WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL ME THEY HAD FRIENDS WHO COULD DESTROY MY SHADOW WARRIORS? YOU WILL ALL SUFFER FOR THIS!"
Mumm-ra's voice could be heard for miles around, and the screeches and screams of the evil mutants also.
"Sometimes it doesn't pay to be a villain." Jackalman groaned while running from Mumm-ra's magic fury.
