Chapter 7

Lion-O, Cheetara, and Lynx-O started with the worst cases and then worked they're way down. Unfortuneately, with one blind cat and two that only had basic medical experience things were slow going. The Lord of the ThunderCats looked at Ben-Gali while Cheetara looked at WilyKit. The white tiger had caught an energy blast to the head and his breathing was labored.

"What do I do?" Lion-O whispered to himself.

"Let me have a look at him. You can help Panthro out." Tygra moved slowly off the bed he sat on.

"But you're in no shape…" the lion tried to object.

"Pumyra can't talk without hurting herself so that means I'm the only one with enough medical experience to help. Besides I'm sure that Panthro wants to get the warning systems back up and running." Tygra told him. Lion-O knew that it was pointless to argue with the orange tiger. He was right. So the Lord of the ThunderCats went over to Panthro and examined his right arm. Then he had the panther stick his right arm under the X-ray machine.

"I'm going to have to set your wrist. It's going to hurt." Lion-O told Panthro.

"I don't care. Tygra's right. I have to get those sensors back online. Mumm-Ra won't think twice about attacking us when we're at our weakest." The panther told him. Lion-O only nodded and had him hold his wrist up. Then he wrapped the wet plaster dressings around Panthro's hand, wrist, and forearm stopping just before his elbow. After that he moved to the energy blast wound on the panther's stomach. Lion-O cleaned the wound and wrapped it.

"All right, you're done. Do what you can to get those sensors up and contact the settlements. We made need the reservists." The Lord of the ThunderCats said.

"Ho!" Panthro called lifting his good arm into the air. Then he left the sick bay and headed toward the control room. Lion-O moved over to Tygra who seemed to be dealing pretty well with Ben-Gali's wounds.

"Take a look at WilyKat. I'm doing ok over here." The tiger said. Lion-O gave him a look but turned around and went over to the ThunderKitten. Tygra winced when the lion wasn't looking and went back to helping Ben-Gali.

Cheetara was cleaning and dressing WilyKit's wounds as the ThunderKitten started to come around. She had one on her chest and a few on her arms and the cheetah was afraid that her body wouldn't be able to take it.

"How are you feeling?" Cheetara asked her.

"Where… what?" WilyKit wondered lifting her head off the pillow.

"You're back at Cat's Lair. Everything is going to be ok. I'm glad you're awake." The cheetah explained.

"My chest hurts." The ThunderKitten said.

"I know; you took quite the shot. I gave you something for the pain and I want you to try to get some sleep ok?" Cheetara smiled. WilyKit only nodded and laid her head back down on the pillow. The cheetah smiled again and let the kitten sleep. She then walked over to Lynx-O and Pumyra.

The lynx was trying to keep the puma clam but she was a wreck. Her leg hurt, as did her sides. Pumyra continued to try to say something but Lynx-O wouldn't let her.

"You can't talk. It's going to hurt your ribs. Ben-Gali is in good hands. Don't worry." He tried to comfort her.

"Why don't you go help Tygra?" Cheetara came over to them. Lynx-O's lips formed a tight smile and he left to see how he could help the tiger.

"You have… to help… Ben-Gali. I…" Pumyra tried to say something.

"Stop, don't hurt your ribs. I'm going to put your leg in a cast and then I'll see what I can do with your ribs." The cheetah said. It was then that she noticed the look on Pumyra's face. Cheetara moved her head closer so that no one else could hear.

"I think… I'm pregnant." The puma whispered.
