Chapter 13
"Wha' 'appened?" The ThunderKittens asked as they saw their Cat Signals in their friends' hands.
"There's too much to explain now. Just follow our lead and pretend to still be under Mumm-Ra's spell." Lion-O said.
"We have to free the others and destroy the crown." Cheetara told them.
"While you do that, Nada and I will release the ones that have been captured." Willa smiled; hoping to get the ThunderKittens to understand. They did understand and the rest of the walk to the black pyramid was silent.
WWWWWWWWWWW
Panthro, Tygra, Ben-Gali, and Lynx-O stood before Mumm-Ra with their captives. The Berbils, Wolos, and a small contingent of Warrior Maidens were chained together. All were very confused as to why their protectors had joined forces with the ever-living source of evil.
"Good! Now go out and retrieve the…" Mumm-Ra was cut off by the entrance of four ThunderCats.
"What do we have here?" He asked.
"Master Mumm-Ra, look what we have for you; the leader of the Warrior Maidens and her sister." Lion-O addressed the mummy.
"You escaped from that infernal tower?" There was skepticism in Mumm-Ra's voice.
"We overpowered those women easily when the Thundrainium wore off." Lion-O explained. This seemed to satisfy the mummy as he responded,
"Excellent! We need you to help with capturing the Balkans and remaining Warrior Maidens." A smile crossed the ever-living source of evil's face as he continued.
"Cheetara, go with Panthro and Tygra on the ground attack. Lion-O join Ben-Gali and Lynx-O in the flying contraption." Quickly, the six ThunderCats left the black pyramid. WilyKit and WilyKat awaited their orders and hoped that they could continue the façade.
WWWWWWWWWWWW
Just before the Balkan village, the Feliner came to a stop and slowly landed. Three of the six ThunderCats disembarked. At that point, Cheetara whipped around Panthro and Tygra grabbing their Cat Signals. It was as if someone had flicked a switch. The two ThunderCats immediately came back to their senses.
"What are we…" Panthro started.
"No time. We have to help Lion-O." The cheetah said. Tygra and Panthro followed Cheetara to the unmoving Feliner.
They could hear someone struggling in the cockpit and quickly jumped up onto the Feliner's wing and tried to see if they could help. Ben-Gali was fighting with Lion-O while Lynx-O tried to grab for the white tiger's Cat Signal. After a few moments, the Lord of the ThunderCats was able to pin Ben-Gali down and Lynx-O reached for the Cat Signal. However, the lynx didn't know exactly where it was and Lion-O couldn't hold on forever.
Cheetara climbed into the cockpit and helped the two ThunderCats. Finally, the Cat Signal was removed and all the ThunderCats were back to their usual selves.
"Thanks Jaga, that's over with." Tygra sighed.
"Well almost over. We still have to get the Eye of Thundera back and put it into the Sword of Omens again." Lion-O pointed out.
"How are we going to do that?" Ben-Gali asked.
"First, we should take it one little step at a time. First, we need to get the Eye of Thundera back from Mumm-Ra." Lynx-O said. Everyone agreed. The rest of the plan would have to wait until they had what they wanted.
"Let's confront Mumm-Ra. With all of us back to normal we can have the Warrior Maidens help us in retrieving the Eye." Panthro suggested. Lion-O nodded.
"Well, if we're going to do it…" he started.
"Let's do it!" The rest finished.
