Chapter 6
Panthro slowly stood up and saw that Pumyra was crying. Ben-Gali was lying unresponsive in front of her. The panther was about to come over there when a blur of yellow shot by him. It was Cheetara. The cheetah tried to calm the puma down, who was now breathing very sharply as her crying had not helped her condition.
"He'll be ok. We just have to get him back to Cat's Lair. Can you help me?" Cheetara asked.
"She can't." Panthro said. "Her leg is broken and there is some damage to her ribs." The cheetah nodded and quickly changed the subject.
"Where is Tygra?"
"He's right here, I have him." Lynx-O replied.
"We have to get everyone out to the Thunderstrike and the Thunder Claw." Cheetara said.
"Where are WilyKit and WilyKat?" Tygra asked in a barely audible tone.
"Over here." Came WilyKat's voice. Panthro went over to the cubs. The boy seemed ok but his sister wasn't so lucky. Unfortunately, the panther's broken arm and energy-seared stomach wouldn't allow him to lift the girl.
"I need your help WilyKat." He said. The ThunderKitten nodded and grabbed his sister's arm and waist and carefully pulled her to her feet. WilyKit moaned slightly as Panthro took his left arm and put her over his shoulder with her brother's help. They joined the others.
"I'll take the first batch." Lynx-O said. The ThunderKittens, Panthro, Tygra, and Lynx-O would head out and then Lynx-O would come back to help Cheetara with Pumyra and Ben-Gali.
"Hurry back; I don't know how long Lion-O can hold Mumm-Ra." The cheetah urged. Lynx-O only nodded and held Tygra up as he and the others moved towards Lion-O and Mumm-Ra.
"You think you can distract me and let your friends get by!" The mummy cackled.
"I don't think, I know." The Lord of the ThunderCats smirked as he pointed the Sword at the ever-living source of evil.
"Ho!" He shouted. A blue energy blast shot forth from the blade and hit its intended target.
"It hasn't worked before what makes you think it'll work now?" Mumm-Ra laughed again. Lion-O's answer was to raise the Sword of Omens up and make four quick motions with it. The first was to bring the Sword across his body.
"Thunder," The second sent the Sword out to the side.
"…thunder," The third brought it down in front of him where he grabbed it with both hands.
"…thunder," The final move was to thrust the Sword above his head.
"THUNDERCATS HO!" The Cat Signal shoots from the Eye of Thundera and hits Mumm-Ra squarely on the chest, pushing him back. Cats' eyes come alive and ThunderCat symbols glow. It gives the wounded a boost that they need and creates a wide enough berth for them to escape.
Mumm-Ra howls in pain and then charges back at Lion-O but the Lord of the ThunderCats refuses to back down and holds the Sword of Omens above his head, the Cat Signal still projecting from the Eye of Thundera.
"Back into your crypt mummy!" Lion-O shouts. Mumm-Ra is forced back into his sarcophagus.
"I'll get you for this!" The ever-living source of evil bellowed as he is transformed from his mighty muscular self into his bandaged decrepit body. The sarcophagus lid slides over him. Quickly, Lion-O lowers the Sword of Omens and stashes it back into the Claw Shield and rushes off to help the other ThunderCats.
