Chapter 5

The cheetah's words sunk in quickly and Lion-O knew that he had to act immediately. He stood up and brought Cheetara up with him.

"Snarfer, radio Snarf and tell him the situation. Then contact New Thundera. Tell them to ready the reserves in case something should happen here. If the worst should happen, then New Thundera must be prepared. Cheetara and I will try to get the Sword back." The lion ordered. He and the cheetah jumped into the ThunderTank. They knew that Mumm-Ra had used his spell again and the best bet to start looking for the ancient spirit of evil was where the original black pyramid was.

Snarf arrived moments after the two cats left. Snarfer ran up to him and the animal friend that the older snarf had employed for help. He quickly explained everything and told Snarf of Lion-O's orders. The older snarf knew he had to get back to Cat's Lair and he hoped that Lion-O and Cheetara would have good luck.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Mumm-Ra stood at his traveling pyramid. He walked into the old pyramid and came up to the cauldron. The water remained calm until he raised the Sword of Omens and the Eye of Thundera above them.

"I have done it, Ancient Spirits! We can now control the ThunderCats and soon the planet!" He crowed.

"EXCELLENT MUMM-RA! CAST THE SPELL AND RETURN US TO OUR ORIGINAL GREATNESS!" His masters ordered.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Ben-Gali received an urgent message from Third Earth. He immediately sent the ThunderKittens out to the Feliner.

"Snarfer, does Lion-O want us to come to Third Earth?" The white tiger asked.

"I'm not really sure. He said that if the worst should happen New Thundera should be ready. For all I know at the moment, if anyone comes they might just be walking into a trap." The small snarf told him.

"Rowr, I don't like this." Ben-Gali said.

"Me neither; snarfer, snarfer. I'll keep in touch." Snarfer said. The video call was ended and the others soon entered the control room. Ben-Gali turned to them and explained the entire situation.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Mumm-Ra chanted and threw the Sword of Omens into the bubbling water. A geyser shot out of the cauldron and the spewed the Eye of Thundera separated from the hilt of the Sword of Omens. It roared and tried to fit what was happening but it couldn't. Mumm-Ra let the now useless Sword fall to the ground. No longer would the blade be a nuisance. No longer would the words of the Lord of the ThunderCats be able to bring it to life.

The ancient mummy continued to chant as the Eye of Thundera came down and landed in a crown. Immediately, it was sealed inside and Mumm-Ra picked it up and placed it on his head.

"Now I control the Eye of Thundera and the ThunderCats! Third Earth and New Thundera will bow to me!" He cackled.
