Chapter 14
The Feliner landed outside the black pyramid. Lion-O had this horrible feeling nagging in the back of his head. How was he going to defeat Mumm-Ra without the Sword of Omens?
Cheetara looked over at the Lord of the ThunderCats. She could tell by the look on his face that he was nervous. The cheetah wanted to be able to talk to him but there was no time.
This battle was about to take place and they would have to see if the stronger Mumm-Ra could be defeated without the Sword of Omens. The ThunderCats piled out of the Feliner and walked into the pyramid.
WWWWWWWWWWW
Pumyra paced back and forth in the Tower of Omens control room. She hadn't heard from any of the others and she was starting to get nervous. Snarf could see the look on her face and he knew that there was something more bothering her.
"You want to be out there with them don't you?" The snarf asked.
"I wish I could be." Pumyra practically whispered.
"Ben-Gali wouldn't want you to chance it and neither would the others. They understand you're not one-hundred percent." Snarf tried to make her feel better. The puma just shook her head and walked out of the control room.
WWWWWWWWWWWW
The six ThunderCats entered the main chamber of the black pyramid to find the Berbils, Wolos, and Warrior Maidens not there. At first they were a little nervous that something had gone wrong until Mumm-Ra appeared.
"What are you doing here? You should be capturing more slaves!" He shouted.
"Guess again, Mumm-Ra! We're free from your spell and we've come to take back what's rightfully ours!" Lion-O challenged the mummy.
"WHAT!" Mumm-Ra bellowed. He raised his hands to shoot energy at them but suddenly an explosion stopped him.
"You forgot about us!" WilyKit and WilyKat yelled as they were followed by the now freed Warrior Maidens. Soon the Berbils and Wolos were rushing from the rooms that lay beyond the main chamber.
With his plan collapsing all around him, Mumm-Ra's anger began to grow. He lashed out at anything that moved. Lion-O knew if he didn't get to the mummy that innocent Third Earthers would get hurt. Quickly, the lion raced up to him and grabbed his wrists.
"This is between you and me. We never finished what we started." The Lord of the ThunderCats growled.
"I accept your challenge." Mumm-Ra cackled and gave Lion-O a forceful shove. The two engaged in hand-to-hand combat as the other ThunderCats made sure the Third Earthers were able to escape.
Soon the main chamber was empty of everyone except the Thunderians. Cheetara grabbed her bo-staff and started to move forward but Panthro stopped her.
"We have to let them fight. Lion-O wouldn't want us to intervene." The panther said.
"While they fight we need to get that crown." Cheetara pointed out.
"I'm the fastest. You have to let me get it." She continued. Panthro was about to object but Tygra stepped in.
"She's right. Lion-O is creating the perfect distraction. Go Cheetara." The orange tiger said. With that, the cheetah sped off at the fastest speed she could muster.
