Chapter 17

Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro, and Tygra exited the ThunderTank. In front of them stood Mumm-Rana's white pyramid. Snarf had wished them luck when they dropped him off at Cat's Lair and now Lion-O was secretly calling on that luck. Without the Sword of Omens, the ThunderCats would never know when the others were in trouble nor would they be given that sudden jolt of energy when they absolutely needed it.

The group entered the pyramid and approached Mumm-Rana's open sarcophagus. Lion-O was the first to speak.

"Mumm-Rana we need your help." With that sentence the good mummy rose from her coffin and asked,

"Lord Lion-O, what is it that you need?" All the Lord of the ThunderCats did was to hand her the pieces of the Sword of Omens. Her eyes went wide.

"Mumm-Ra used a spell to separate them and we hope you can use a spell to put them back together." Lion-O said. The ever-living source of good thought for a few minutes.

"As of right now the power of the Eye of Thundera is broken and in order to restore it there are some things you must do. The first is you must put your Cat Signals back on. Everyone of you must have them on otherwise the Sword of Omens will not know you are there and that it still has people to uphold the Code of Thundera." Mumm-Rana said.

Quickly, Panthro ran from the pyramid. He radioed the Tower of Omens and told them to make sure everyone was wearing their Cat Signals. Then he grabbed his and the others from a compartment in the tank.

When the panther returned, the four put on their Cat Signals and waited for the next instruction.

"Now Lion-O you must hold the Eye and the Sword. The spell will not work unless the Lord of the ThunderCats lends his strength." Mumm-Rana ordered. Lion-O took the Sword of Omens in one hand and the Eye of Thundera in another. Slowly, Mumm-Rana raised her hands up and called to the Ancient Spirits of Goodness, to transform her. Once this was done, she turned to Lion-O.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWW

At the Tower of Omens, Ben-Gali carefully eased Pumyra's special outfit over her head. Next they carefully pulled her usual uniform on. The puma had insisted that she wear her uniform and not just take a patch off of one and put it on her other outfit. Ben-Gali had objected to this but Lynx-O had said there was no point in taking any chances. That and Pumyra looked as though she was going to rip one of them a new one.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Mumm-Rana began chanting in an ancient language that none of the ThunderCats understood. She took hold of Lion-O's hands and raised her voice. Soon the two began to rise off the floor and Lion-O could feel the strangest feelings overcoming his body. He could hear the Eye of Thundera growl and a wave of energy coursed through his body.

Then he felt the Sword and the Eye growing hot in his hands as they forced them together. Lion-O wanted to release the hot objects but he knew that he could not. The Sword of Omens and Eye of Thundera needed his strength. Suddenly the heat went away and he could feel his feet touching the ground. Slowly he opened his eyes.
