Chapter 11

Lion-O walked down the hall and entered the treasure chamber. Opening the Book of Omens, the Lord of the ThunderCats was sucked inside. He floated in space until he landed at the base of the large red poles with the dragonheads. The dragons immediately positioned themselves for an attack.

"Identify yourself!" The Book's Guardian shouted.

"I am Lion-O, Lord of the ThunderCats." Came the reply. At this the Guardian seemed to get angry.

"In our last encounter, you questioned my authority. Why should I help you now?"

"You gave me an answer I didn't want to hear. The fault lies with me. I will accept your decision if you wish not to help me but I am not here for me. I am here for the ThunderCats and all of New Thundera." Lion-O apologized, hoping he had been able to smooth over the situation.

"Very well; what is it that you require, Lord Lion-O?" The Guardian asked.

"Mumm-Ra has returned and he is stronger than before. Is there a way to defeat him?" The lion wondered.

"As with any enemy, you must exploit his weaknesses." Came the answer.

"The mummy is no longer afraid of his reflection and the only thing that pushed him back was the Cat Signal." Lion-O explained.

"The Eye of Thundera is very powerful. What did you push him into?" The Guardian of the Book of Omens asked his own question. Before Lion-O could say another thing, he was flung out of the Book.

Panthro pressed the scanners buttons and checked all the circuits. He smiled as the systems all performed as they should have.

"We've done it!" The panther announced. All the technicians cheered. Cheetara smiled and took her post at one of the viewing screens.

"Troops, I'd like to thank you for helping. Now the Feliner needs to be repaired. Start in that, I'll be out soon to help. You are dismissed." Panthro said. The technicians shouted,

"Sir, yes sir!" They then turned and left the control room and headed outside. When they had left, Lion-O walked into the control room.

"The systems are all back online, Lion-O. We'll be ready when Mumm-Ra comes back. What news from the Book of Omens?" Panthro told him.

"Excellent. The Book said the Eye of Thundera should push him into something. I'm still trying to figure out what it means." Lion-O said.

"You used the Cat Signal to push him into his sarcophagus." Cheetara offered.

"Yes, but that doesn't defeat him, it just puts him in it for a little while." The lion told her. Silence fell over the room, as the three tried to figure out what to do.

"What if when Mumm-Ra is in his sarcophagus, we seal him inside?" Panthro asked.

"We could then destroy the coffin with him in it!" Lion-O shouted.

"If we're going to do it…" the panther started.

"Let's do it!" Cheetara and Lion-O finished. The three ThunderCats raced outside and hopped into the Thunderstrike and flew off to the desert region where Mumm-Ra's black pyramid stood.
