Chapter 7
Pumyra picked up the radio and switched the frequency. She hoped that flying by the seat of her pants would work.
"This is Cat's Lair, Reserve Base come in."
"Reserve Base, go ahead Cat's Lair." A voice cackled over the radio.
"I need you to send over ten of your men and Colonel Cougara." Pumyra ordered.
"Yes, ma'am, right away." The reservist answered and the call ended. Setting the radio down, the puma hoped that they would be there soon.
Back on Third Earth, Snarf and his nephew watched as Lion-O and Cheetara obediently followed Mumm-Ra into the pyramid.
"What are we going to do?" Snarfer asked.
"You are going to get back to the Tower of Omens and try to contact New Thundera again. Someone has to answer you. We need help. I'm going into the pyramid and try to get Lion-O and Cheetara to snap out of it." Snarf told him.
"But…" the little creature started.
"No, buts go!" Snarf ordered. Snarfer nodded and ran back towards the Tower.
"Oh, snarfer, snarfer. I don't like this." He muttered under his breath. The little snarf raced as fast as he could back to the Tower and hopefully help.
Colonel Cougara led his troops up the steps of Cat's Lair and into the control room. He had this feeling that something was seriously wrong. The fact that he'd seen the Feliner take off and that he hadn't been notified, made him nervous.
"Colonel." Pumyra extended her hand.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" The cougar knew something was really wrong.
"Well it appears that the others took off in the Feliner and I have not been able to contact them. No one bothered to tell me what was going on and I can't get a hold of anyone on Third Earth either. I need you and the reservists you brought to take me to there." She explained.
"No offense ma'am, but you are in no condition to fight anyone. It would be an honor to go with you and fight in your stead." Cougara told her.
"I appreciate that but my husband is down there and I have to…" Pumyra didn't get a chance to finish.
"Come in Cat's Lair! Come in Cat's Lair!" Her eyes went wide as she recognized the voice.
"Snarfer! Where have you been?" The puma switched on the video screen.
"I'll explain everything just don't send anybody else here." He said.
"Too late, the others left a few hours ago." Pumyra told him. At this Snarfer became very upset.
"Then we're all in big trouble." The little creature said.
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Snarf hid behind one of the many coffins that lined the interior walls of the main chamber of Mumm-Ra's pyramid.
"How much longer will your friends take?" The mummy asked Lion-O.
"It will take at least a few more hours, Lord Mumm-Ra." At this, the ever-living source of evil scowled. Snarf saw that the enemy had a new headpiece.
"This is unacceptable! We shall move forward anyway. To the Berbil village, they will never see what's coming and they will easily be defeated." Mumm-Ra ordered. Snarf watched as the mummy and his new slaves walked out of the pyramid.
"Oh no." That's when he caught sight of something on the ground. He raced over and picked up what remained of the Sword of Omens.
"It's a lot worse than I thought."
