Chapter 12
Lion-O and Cheetara tried to absorb everything they had just been told. Snarf had caught them up as quickly as possible about everything. Everything, that is, except the Sword and the Eye.
"Where is the Sword of Omens?" Lion-O asked after finding the Claw Shield empty on his thigh.
"Up in the control room." Snarf said. Quickly, Lion-O, Cheetara, and Pumyra headed upstairs, leaving Snarf to bring up the rear.
Snarfer got the shock of his life when he saw Lion-O and Cheetara come into the room. He thought they were still tied up in the hanger bay.
"How did…" the Lord of the ThunderCats cut him off.
"We don't have time for long explanations. Where is the Sword?" Lion-O asked. Snarfer bent down and picked up what remained of the Sword of Omens.
"I don't think it'll do much good." Snarfer replied.
"That's the part I left out." Snarf told them when he saw the look on the three ThunderCats' faces. The Sword would no longer obey any of the commands Lion-O gave it.
"Mumm-Ra has the Eye of Thundera in a crown which he is wearing. Until we can remove all the Cat Signals from the others, he will rule Third Earth and New Thundera in very short order." Snarf continued.
"We have no choice but to snap the others out of it and try to defeat Mumm-Ra." Lion-O said.
"How? They have the Feliner and Colonel Cougara took the reservists out to fight them." Pumyra pointed out.
"That's a good point." The lion answered.
"Hey wait a minute. Snarf, you said that Mumm-Ra knows that you have us. Well he doesn't know that we're out of our spell. What if we bring the Warrior Maidens with us back to the black pyramid as captives?" Cheetara wondered.
"Trick him into thinking we have broken away from our captors and managed to capture all those Warrior Maidens?" Pumyra gave a skeptical look.
"No not all of them. Just Willa and Nada. It would make it more believable." Cheetara explained.
"You think they'll agree to it?" Snarf asked.
"Are you kidding? They overruled you and sent their sisters into fight Panthro, Tygra, and the Feliner. They'll do it, snarfer, snarfer." The younger snarf pointed out.
"Let's get to it then." Lion-O said and the three ThunderCats went back down to the hanger bay.
WWWWWWWWWWW
WilyKit and WilyKat watched as Lion-O and Cheetara emerged from the Tower of Omens. They followed along behind them at a distance until they were sure that no one in the Tower could pick them up on the sensors.
"What luck fellow ThunderCats." WilyKit was the first to make her presence known.
"Indeed, what luck." Lion-O tried to sound convincing.
"How did you manage to get away?" WilyKat asked.
"It wasn't hard. Those Snarves aren't that bright." Cheetara did her best to play along. Lion-O made a slight motion that only the cheetah's incredible eyes could pick up on and the two quickly pounced on the two ThunderKittens.
