Phase 05: Master of Deceit

In a forboding place of dark hollows and eerie fog, a black castle rose out of the misty air. The air was fool of eerie noises that would make people jumpy and nervous. A voice inside the castle said in a deep eerie voice. "What did you say was here Mum-Ra?"
On the inside a creature in a black cloak was looking Mum-Ra in the face. He was a black sorcerer. He started laughing again. "So the legendary Thundercats have made their way here. Since when have I heard of their exploits on Thundera? It has been an age or two. You know you aren't allowed man mistakes where I am concerned. You know that I can wipe you from the face of this planet," said the man in the cloak.
"Yes, I understand completely. Jinishi, do you think the sword was just toying or was it being serious," asked Mum-Ra.
"I don't like your sarcastic tone. Magical swords are a pain. See if you can make any sense of the riddles that we have been fed. Remember you are thousands of years old Devil Priest," said Jinishi. Mum-Ra was about to say something else someone walked in, that seemed to be familiar to him. His eyes went wide and said, "Are you Chilla? The Ice Luna-tak."
She smiled. "I was freed by Jinishi, Devil Priest. Besides, you are the one who scattered the Luna-taks. I have been busy trying to find them because of you," said Chilla.
"I scattered your bunch because your kind can't be controlled as a whole," said Mum-Ra. He was rather angered by the way she talked to him. No different than it had been before he sealed most of the Dark Side off. Chilla blew her icy breath on to Mum-Ra's neck. He clutched at his neck as he tried to talk. Jinishi looked at him and said, "You are growing to ambitious for your own good. Arrogant and moronic actions will be the end of you. You seemed to not trust the ancient spirits." Mum-Ra broke the ice on his throat and blasted Chilla with his power. He shot another blast at Jinishi and said, "I don't like those who attack me unprovoked. Those that do suffer hideously." He started laughing as he blasted the room apart and blew apart the castle slowly. He floated in the air. "Mark my words, the Thundercats are mine. I will return in time to find out your answer." He flew off.

Jinishi stared off after his departure and huffed. He started rebuilding his castle with the help of Chilla. After he told Mum-Ra his answer he started thinking that maybe his lies and trickery could work more than the magic of the Devil Priest. He started laughing.

Another of the Luna-taks Alluro was waiting for Chilla. He also worked for Jinishi using his power of mind control on people to further his master's cause. He and Chilla had been the only ones not encased in lava because they chose to follow him. She approached him and said, "Mum-Ra is furious about these Thundercats." Alluro caught himself laughing.
"That old bag of bones doesn't understand what he is up against remember how we wound up here?"
Chilla hissed with disgust. "Apart from Luna's search for Mum-Rana and the belt. We wound up here because of Jaga."
"Exactly," said Alluro. He smiled. "Since their new Lord is still a child we should see to it that he doesn't become a lord."
"Wait we shouldn't attack without some thought into this if Mum-Ra is in an uproar about this we should see what the Mutants are about to do," said Chilla.
"Red Eye and the others are still trapped in stone. We should wait to release them shouldn't we?" asked Alluro. Chilla shook her head.
"They had their chance remember we sided with Jinishi."
"Luna would have our hides if she were to return," said Alluro. Chilla shrugged and walked off. She wasn't about to argue. They had to free the other if they were to disarm Jinishi and take out Mum-Ra. She and Alluro hated that Devil Priest but put up with him. Alluro asked her to stop. She turned and said, "What now?"
Alluro paused and said, "I want to be more than friends and allies with you." Chilla blushed.
"You would?" she asked.
Alluro nodded. "Without the others I want to have time to admit my feeling." He turned red. Chilla looked at him and said, "But our tribes don't want half breeds."
"We aren't on our home worlds any more. So it doesn't really matter does it?" asked Alluro. Chill shook her head and they walked off together.
