A/N: Sorry about the mispost the other day. The story I was trying to update was just above this one and I must have clicked the wrong link. Well enough with that, back to the story.

Chapter 12

Slowly he opened his left eye. There was nothing but darkness. That's odd, he thought to himself. He then opened his right eye. Light flooded in and his pupils reacted accordingly. Within moments the ceiling came into focus and the blurriness went away. Next he opened his mouth and tried to speak but all that came out was air. Confused, he was about to try again.

"Ben-Gali!" Immediately the tiger recognized the voice.

"Lynx-O." The other cat's name came out barely above a whisper.

"Take it easy my friend. You took an energy blast to the face. Tygra has bandaged up parts of your face." Lynx-O explained.

"My eye?" Again Ben-Gali's voice was very quiet.

"Yes, there is a possibility of scarring but we'll deal with it. You really shouldn't be talking, either. The blast got part of your neck and caused some minor damage to your throat." All this information the lynx was giving him was overwhelming.

"Pumyra?" Ben-Gali ignored his friend's warming.

"You two will be spending a lot of time together here in the infirmary. She has a broken left leg and some broken ribs but she'll be fine in a couple months." Lynx-O told him. The white tiger was about to ask another question but Tygra walked into the room.

"I've managed to narrow down what I need for Pumyra's pain medication but I can't get them myself. How long have the others been gone?" He asked.

"I'm not sure but we have some good news. Ben-Gali is awake." Lynx-O answered.

"Well then let me have a look at my brother." A smile crossed the orange tiger's face.

WWWWWWWWWWWW

Lion-O, Cheetara, and Panthro slowly and quietly approached Mumm-Ra's sarcophagus. They had tried this plan before and it hadn't worked. The miserable mummy still had returned to fight them. This time the coffin would not be destroyed anywhere near the pyramid in the hope that Mumm-Ra would never come back.

The Lord of the ThunderCats was now in front of the sarcophagus. He pulled the Sword of Omens from the Claw Shield and raised the blade level with the coffin's seem.

"Ho!" Lion-O shouted. A blue energy beam shot forth from the magic sword's tip. The edges of the sarcophagus began to fuse together. Lion-O moved the sword all around the coffin and soon the top and bottom had become one.

Panthro stepped forward. He was the strongest ThunderCat and he could easily lift the tomb. The panther placed both his arms behind it and pulled it from the wall. Next he lifted it up. The wound on his stomach threatened to reopen and he carefully set it back down.

"I can't carry this out to the Thunderstrike. If my stomach opens back up, I won't be any help." Panthro told the others. Lion-O made a face and said,

"Then I'll have too." Carefully he lifted the sarcophagus and the three began the journey to the edge of the pyramid. Here instead of trying to climb back through the way they had come; the lion set down the coffin and pulled the Sword of Omens from his hip once more.

"One easy exit coming up." He smiled. "Thunder, thunder, thunder, THUNDERCATS HO!" The Cat Signal bore a hole through the pyramid walls. Quickly, Cheetara stepped forward and extended her bo-staff. She then commanded it to bend and act like a support. The weapon held up the new tunnel, acting like a giant M's. The three ThunderCats moved as fast as they could.

The structural integrity of the black pyramid compromised, it began to collapse. Soon, the once eternal symbol of evil had crumbled to pieces and all that was left was a pile of rubble.

"ThunderCats Ho!" The three cats cheered. Quickly, they loaded the sarcophagus into the Thunderstrike and took over for Mumm-Ra's final resting place.
