Chapter 14
It had been an exhausting day and Lion-O sat down in the control room. Most of the others were trying to get some rest and he was hoping to let them get it. He was supposed to be keeping his eyes on the sensors but they were mostly focused on the wall.
Many thoughts passed through his head. Had they really defeated Mumm-Ra for the last time or would the ever-living source of evil survive anyway? Would the others be able to recover fully? Could the Feliner and the rest of Cat's Lair be repaired in decent time? So absorbed in his thoughts, the Lord of the ThunderCats didn't hear the control room doors open.
"Lion-O." Cheetara said. The lion didn't look up. She touched his shoulder and he nearly jumped out of his chair.
"You ok?" The cheetah asked.
"Oh yeah, I was just thinking. Aren't you supposed to be getting some rest?" Lion-O asked.
"Well it's hard to sleep when you said you wanted to speak to me? Plus I was feeling a little lonely." Cheetara smiled.
"I did say I wanted to talk to you, didn't I? I guess I'm just really tired." He smiled back. The lion reached out and pulled her onto his lap. She leaned her head against his shoulder.
"You should get some sleep. We could talk tomorrow." Then she looked at the clock. It read one am.
"I guess it's already tomorrow." The Lord of the ThunderCats smiled. "Anyway, there was something I wanted to ask you. I had this whole thing planned out and I was going to wait for the perfect time but after what's happened maybe now is the perfect time."
"Lion-O, what are you trying to say?" She asked. He lifted her off his lap and let her stand up. Then he got off the chair and down onto one knee.
"Cheetara, would you make me the happiest lion in the world?" The cheetah's eyes went wide.
"I know I don't have a ring yet but I promiseā¦" she stopped him right there.
"I don't need a ring. All I need is you." Cheetara got down on her knees, so that they were almost at eye level, and kissed him.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Out in the desert, the remains of a black pyramid and black obelisks began to shake. Slowly, a noise rose from the rubble and it called out to a sarcophagus buried in muck and slime. The bog began to shake and the muck shot into the air.
Something rose from the ooze and slime and broke free from its captor. Bright lights began to appear through the brown-green goo and break the nasty substance off what now was easily discernable as a sarcophagus. The light began to break the fused sides of the tomb.
In seconds, the coffin sides split to reveal an ancient form covered in bandages. The mummy smiled and called out to the heavens.
"Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form into Mumm-Ra, the ever-living!" In an instant, the mummy was changed into a powerful evil being. A smirk crossed his face.
"YOU THINK YOU'VE BEATEN ME, THUNDERCATS! WELL THINK AGAIN! I HAVE LIVED FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND I WILL LIVE FOR ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS, UNTIL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU ARE DEAD AND I HAVE TAKEN THE EYE OF THUNDERA FOR MYSELF!"
