Disclaimer: I don't own thundercats except my O.C's.
Sight Beyond Sight
Panthro kept his eyes on the rocky path as he drove, both wilykat and kit sat next to him. At hearing a beeping, he looked down at the book. A red circle was hologram on top of the red jewel in the center, a small dot blinking, "Now we're cooking," he said.
In the inside, Aideen sat next to Tygra with a book in her hand. The tigers eyes were on the book, as he found it interesting after a while, both leaning to one another. Lion-O glanced at them from time to time, feeling a bit jealous that his friend would hang out with his brother more than him. After all he thought she and Tygra didn't get along. He wasn't the only one glancing at them, Cheetara would move her eyes from time to time, to look at the two. She, though, didn't show her jealousy. Both cats were looking at the two, while Isha smile at them, as she knew what they were feeling at the moment.
Their eyes turned toward the screen in the wall as the panthers face appeared, "Book says the stone is dead ahead." Aideen closed her book as the lion walked towards the screen.
"Then how about getting this hunk of junk moving, panthro?" he said excitedly
"I'm not about to blow up the samoflange again, just as you got no patience," the panther said, "slow and steady is where's the race come." Then the screen went black, leaving the cat to look at the black screen.
"Race?" The tiger said from besides him, a smirk was on his lips with hand on his chin , "Now that's an idea."
"You're on," Lion-O replied with a smile.
Aideen walked to the two, "I don't think that's a good idea," she commented.
Isha clapped her hands together, "I think that's a good Idea!" the older girl exclaimed. Aideen turned toward her with a glare.
"Don't encouraged them!"
Isha just waved her hand away dismissively. "I bet Lion-O will win" she said as she looked at her cousin. The lion smiled at her then looked at the younger girl.
Aideen frowned and shook her head, "I'm not playing." She reopened her book and began to read.
"Oh, come on, Aideen!" the girl whined. "Who do you think will win?"
"I said no, Isha" she said, as she didn't even looked at her, the older girl began to pout.
Both brother open a small door from above the tank, they jumped and ran towards the front side of the tank. A door slid open, reviling a vehicle, they both jumped in. Isha and cheetara looked out from each side. "You sure you want to embarrass yourself, Tygra," the lion said as he looked toward his brother.
"You've never beaten me at anything in your life," the tiger replied before both doors slid shut. The lights turned on, as both vehicles began to power up. Small electricity sparked to the side, as the motorcycles began to detach from the tank.
"On three then," he said threw a communicate.
Tygra began to count, "One... two.." before he could finish, Lion-O took off. "Three," with a sigh the tiger speed of to catch up with this brother. Both raced across the rocky path.
"Yeah, go Lion-O!" Isha shouted from the tank, Aideen rolled her eyes at her cousins excitement.
"They're beating us," wilykit whined, as they both looked at the older cat.
Panthro looked back at them, "They're not beating us because were not racing," he stated, making both kits pout at not being included in the race.
"What panthro is trying to say, kids," Cheetara said from behind them, "is that he doesn't mind losing."
Isha laughed, "Ohhh, are you going to take that?!" she asked as she waited for the panthers reply.
Panthro scowled as he looked ahead. He wasn't one to back down from a challenge. He smirked, "Hold on, it's about to get bumpy." He made the tank speed, sending wilykit and kat jolting back. Both Isha and cheetara were able to grab on, but Aideen wasn't. The younger girl was inside drinking water and reading her book, when she was send to the side, the water poring on her and her book.
With the prince and king, both tried to out race one another. They speed off under a rocky bridge, neither one of them wanting to loss. The thunder tank was far behind.
"Faster! Faster," the two kits said after they had gotten steady.
"It's looking like slow and steady doesn't win the race," Cheetara commented.
Isha turned toward her, with an exited smile, "Bet ya, I can get there faster than all of you," she challenge.
"Alright," cheetara accepted, both girls got out of the tank. Cheetara used her speed to ran toward the front of the tank.
"Where are you going?" panthro asked as he looked at cheetara.
"To give this boys some real competition," Isha answer as she walked toward the female cat. They stood ready, "On three," the older girl said.
"One"
"Two"
"Three!" Cheetara use her speed to ran faster, while Isha let her get ahead of her. She the jumped of the tank and use her air power to fly. She flew at a high speed almost as fast as cheetara.
Cheetara ran past the two cat, she turned back and smiled at both of them. Both cats were surprised, then lion smiled.
"You want to see fast?" he speed of the motorcycle, Tygra doing the same. Both passing the the cheetah, but Isha had gotten in front of them. She flew upside down as the cats looked at her, impressed at what she was able to do.
"Awh, seems like I'm about to win," She smiled, then waved her hand, "See ya!" she flew threw the sky using the rocks to speed herself faster.
From behind, the thunder tank speed off to catch up to the other. "Got my baby humming' now," Panthro said, "Listen to her purr."
Wilykat looked at a red button in front of them. "Will this make us to faster?" he asked as he reached for the red button.
The older cats smirked vanished as he saw what he was pointed at. "Don't touch that!" panthro shouted but was too late, as wilykat had already pressed the button. From the side of the tank missals shot to the air and toward the others.
"uh," the boy after seeing what had happen, pointed toward his sister, "she did it."
"Uh-Uh" wilykit said as she took her head. Panthro growled at both kitts.
"What happen?!" Aideen asked as came out of the tank, after hearing something being fire out. She looked at the white smoked, looking back she looked at both kitts, who tried to avoid her eyes. She narrowed her eyes, "What did you do?"
The rest were busty trying to win the race, until Tygra looked down at his screen after hearing it beep. A couple of dots were shown around his position, signaling the missals. "Incoming!" He yelled as they all tried to avoid being hit by them. The bridge they had just gotten under, was hit, rocks began to crumble down. Isha turned as she felt a missal behind her, she used her wind to redirected, hitting the side of the wall. She looked behind at the rest and thought about helping them, but deiced they would be fine. Both cheetara and Tygra rode high to flat ground and away from the path they were before, the missals that fallow them hit the walls they rode up on. The lion did the same, he landed on flat ground and ride threw a few trees, the missal hitting them. He skidded across the ground, turning in the process.
"That's cheating," he shouted, as he raced toward the others.
Tygra stopped his motorcycle as he got to a huge rock, "Winner and still champion," he said threw the communicate. Cheetara come behind him, lion-O after words fallowed by the tank.
"Actually," a voice said from above them. They looked up to find the short hair girl, on top of the stone. She jumped down, making sure to use air to slow down her fall. She landed gently and smirked at the others. "I win." she said as the other came out of their vehicles.
"Your just lucky," the tiger commented, annoyed by the girls smirk.
Isha put a hand on her hip and pointed a finger at him, "you're just a sore loser," she replied, her smile widen at the tigers annoyed look. Both were interrupted from their staring contest.
"Check this out," the lion said making the two look up at the stone. Isha just shrugged, not really caring much for the giant stone. She turned towards the young girl, who was walking toward them.
"What happen to you?" she asked with a raise eyebrow. The younger girls hair was wet and her eyes reflected annoyance, a look Isha knew very well.
"Oh, I don't know. Perhaps water spill on me when you and cheetara told panthero, he didn't mind losing." Aideen had her arms crossed, she didn't want to undo her braid and have to redo it again, especially with her long hair.
The girl smiled sheepishly, "Oop's, sorry," she apologies. Aideen just rolled her eyes as she fallowed the others up the stairs. Isha looked up and decided to fly up instead of walk, just to see what was at the end of the stairs. Aideen shook her head after seeing the older girl fly up.
After seeing her fly away, she looked at the king and prince, both were walking by cheetara. Tygra turned and stopped to wait for her, catching the cheetahs attention. "What happen to your book?" he asked once the girl was next to him. Both began to fallow the others up the stairs.
Aideen gave him a glance then turned back, "Hm, It got wet." she replied, "all cause of the brilliant idea you had to give your brother."
Tygra lifted his hand up in defense, "Hey, it wasn't my fault her agreed. I just suggested a race, never said we should do it."
"Sure, that was all it was. Just a suggestion," she shook her head in disbelief. "I don't believe you." The tiger climb up and helped her climb the stairs, as they were quite big.
"Don't you know me so well," he replied with a smirk. Aideen looked up at him to give a glare, but after a few second she just shook her head, a smile spreed across her lip. The tiger could get on her nerves, but he knew how to put a smile on her lips.
They looked at the tall stone door, that were wide open. Walking inside they looked around them, "Everything's so.. big," the lion said. And it was true, the walls were high, cover in vines. There were giant trees, with their roots on top of some buildings.
"Including the residents," Tygra said as he looked at the people sitting in the middle of the village. They wore different color robes with beads that hung from one shoulder to the waist, their eyes were closed, and hand in front of them. They sat on a circle stone floor design, surrounded by a small river, that had pink water lily's. They crossed one of the bridges and stood behind them. Aideen looked around for her cousin and found her meditating along side one of the elephant.
Lion-O cleared his throat to get their attentions,but nothing happen. "Excuse me," he said, as he tried again but the elephants still remain in their position. Isha stood from where she was and walked toward the cats. "Hello?" he said louder, starling the residents.
"Hmm?" some of the elephants said as they turned around, in confusion.
"What?
"What is it?
"What?" they turned toward the cats, and half-humans.
"Sorry," the lion said sheepishly. His expression then turned serious. "I'm Lion-O, lord of the thundercats," he introduced, the elephants stood up. Looking taller than the other.
An elephant with a dark brown tunic, stepped forward, "I'm Abern And you are?" Aideen and Isha exchange a look, then turned back.
"Uh.. name's Lion-O lord of the thundercats," he repeated.
"Welcome, Lion-El," Abern said.
"Lion-O," the young king corrected.
"How can we assist you?"
"Were looking for a magic stone," the lion explained.
"We believe its somewhere in your village," cheetara said as she looked around.
"What is?" the elephant asked already forgetting what they had been talking about.
Wilykat looked at his sister, "Kind of forgetful, isn't he?"
"I think he's cute," Wilykit replied as she smiled at the elephant. Her brother frowned as he turned back.
"Listen, Abern," the lion began, "we're searching for a stone that looks like this," he tapped the eye of thundera, that was shield on his gauntlet, and rested on his waist.
"When did you lose it?" Abern asked.
"We didn't lose it," cheetara answer.
"So, you have it?" the elephant asked.
"No, were looking for it" Tygra said.
"And what is it exactly your looking for?" abern asked, already haven forgotten what they were talking about. Isha giggled, finding the situation funny. Aideen didn't say anything, she was very patient, after she had to deal with her annoying cousin. The rest became frustrated with the forgetful elephant.
Panthro shook his head, with a sigh, "You've got to be kidding me." They turned at hearing foot steps. A wise older elephant walked toward them. His robbers were orange tunic and had what looked like a brown coat over them, a sash was tied on his waist and a brown beads from one side of his shoulder to his waist.
"I can't remember the last time I saw a cat in these parts," he said with a calm expression. His eyes moved to the two girls, a smile spreed on his face. "And two spiritual people such as the Shannen." He gave a low bow to the two girl. Aideen was quite glade at lest some of the people here wouldn't call her a thing and knew what she was, even if she hasn't gotten use to begin half-human, half-alien.
Both girls put their palms together and gave a low bow. "And its a pleasure to meet a spiritual person such as you," they said together. The others just looked at them not understanding what was happening.
Abern turned towards the elephant, "Yeah, Anet. They're looking for..." he said then looked back at the lion. "uh.. what were you looking for, lion-lord?"
"The stone!" They all shouted at the same time, with the exception of Isha and Aideen. Both girls stayed quite.
"If it is the spirit stone you seek, then you've come to the right place. We have it," he said, "or... we did.. once... maybe? I'm afraid our memory is not at as great as our sizes. But please feel free to have a look around." Lion-O looked around him, wondering where they should star the search. Anet gave a light laugh, "No, No. Not with those eyes. With that one," he pointed towards the eye of thundera. "Yes, I can sens its power. Come with me," he then turned and began to walk, the lion following close behind.
Isha turned toward Aideen, "Hey want to train? You like places like this, and its a good apportion to get back to sword training," she suggested. Aideen looked at her cousin in surprise. She had forgetting to train with her swords. The only training she got here, was her sparing with Tygra.
She nodded, "Sure, but I don't have my swords."
Isha smiled as she got the cover object she had been caring with her. "Don't worry. I kind of forgot to give you this when I first saw you. Here." She handed her the wrapped item to her. Aideen looked at it and unwrapped it. Her eyes widen as she looked at the dual swords she held. The blade was sharp and had an incredible design from the tip all the way to were the black leather handle was. The blade was a black full-tang and had cutouts to the side. The handle was cover in leader with small detail patters.
She looked up at her cousin, "Were did you get this?" she asked in amazement. Tygra came to her side and grabbed one of the sword, he was impressed with it.
Isha smiled brightly as she waved her hand dismissively, "I wasn't that hard. I got it from a store that sell antiques. Then, i just went to get it fix and wallah! A perfect sword."
Aideen smiled at the older girl. She thanked her then they walked, along with Tygra, to a place where she could train.
The other elephants began to grab basket of orange food, and took them to the storage. Panthro walked in front of Abern caring a basket with the help of the elephants trunk, as it was to heavy for him. "That's a lot of food, Abern," he commented.
"It's the harvest, and we must move it to safekeeping," he answer back.
"Safekeeping from what?" the panther asked as he glanced at him, sweat tricking down his face.
"I... don't.. remember," the elephant replied as he thought about the reason why they had to move the harvest.
"Of course you don't," Panthro replied already knowing he wasn't going to remember.
Lion-O had his eyes on the sword as he tried to see gain threw it. He put down his sword and looked at the elephant, "Like I told you, I've already tried this," he said with a hint of frustration, "The sword only shows me the stone, not where it is."
"Because you are not in harmony with your sword," the elephant replied. "It's more than a stool, Lion-O it's a part of you," the elephant looked to by the side. "Look at Aideen," the lion turns to where the half-human was practising with her swords. "She uses her swords as part of her." They watched as she had her eyes closed and looked focused, her breathing was steady. She open her eyes and began to swing her swords one after the other. She was careful not to hurt herself, as using dual swords was dangerous. One wrong move and she could cut her own self, or give herself a deadly blow. But the way she was swinging her sword made it look as if she and it were one. The elephant then turned towards the lion," Try again."
The lion stared as the girl kept practising, feeling eyes on her other than Tygras and Isha, she turned to meet the young kings eyes. He gave a smile and she smiled an encouraging smile. He turned back to the elephant and put the sword in front of him, "Sword of Omens give me sight beyond sight," the swords guard curled around his eyes as they turned lighte, the strongest eye widen as the stone began to shine. He sow the pink stone in what looked like space. The vision then stoped. He put down the sword, as buzzing sound were distracting him. "I can't concentrate with all that noise," he said as he looked to the side. "What is it?"
"The wraiths!" Anet looked toward the sound, "They are coming from the hills for the harvest." From the hills came big bugs that had a close resemblances to a bee, but bigger and of different color. A whole swarm of them began to make their way towards the food.
"Whiskers," as lion-O said as the their shadows passed him.
The wraiths flew over some elephant kids, frightening them. They ran to his behind the adult elephants. They kept on flying until they came close to the food storage, taking some of the baskets they flew out. The thundercats watch them fly away with them. "Why are they just sitting there? Panthro asked as the elephants sat once again, meditating.
"I think they're meditating," the tiger responded.
Lion-O turned towards abern, "Aren't you gonna do anything?" He asked
"But we are. We are understanding," abern answer.
"Well, the thundercats handle things a little different," lion said as he took out his sword. "Thundercats, ho!" He ran towards the wraths, Malvern tried nonstop him but he was gone. Aideen and Isha stayed with the elephants. Both girls in debate on what to do. It was a good idea to help but if the elephants had their reason not to fight then they should respect it. With that Aideen walked towards anet, she sat in the same position as the others and closed her eyes. Isha turned to look at her shrugged deciding to follow her cousin.
The thundercats began to fight against the wraith. Lion-O swing his sword at them, hitting some. Cheetara used her staff to try and hit them but it was hard as the wrath were small and could fly away to avoid being hit. Tygra began to use his whip but some of the wraith manage to get away. While panthro was using his nunchucks. As they began to fly away with the basket, the lion used his sword and cut one of the baskets in half. The food falling to the ground.
"Have them on the run now," Panthro said as he watched them fly away.
Lion-O walked to stand next to him, "Yeah, but they got what they came for." Anet walked towards them Aideen and Isha both by his side. Lion-O looked at him as the others stood around him. "They wiped out your harvest."
"They took most of our food, but not all of our food," the elephant replied calmly, "We still have enough to survive." He picked up one of the fruit from the ground with his trunk. "In order to get the water it need to thrive, this fruit suffers the storm. We, too, must endure hardship to live," he handed him the fruit, "Such is the balance of the world. Remember work in harmony with your sword. Allow the bigger picture to emerge. Keep practicing." He then turned around and walked away.
"Wow," Isha said as she looked at her cousin, "hes really spiritual. To be able to stay calm in situations like this... well I maybe calm but I sure as hell wouldn't be as calm as him if this had happen to me."
Aideen rolled her eyes, "yeah, I know. But sometimes things happen for a reason." Isha shock her head.
"You and him. I don't get how you can be so calm at times." Aideen just shock her head. She turned to look at the lion as he wore that same expression he had when he was about to do something hwasn't supposed to do.
'oh no. What is he planing now?' she thought.
"If he's not gonna do anything about the wraiths, then I will," he mutter before taking a bite from the fruit.
Somewhere else, snarf licked his lips as he saw one of the fruits on the ground. He got close enough to grab be it, but just as he extended his hands a shadow loomed above him. Be ran towards the side of the wall of a small building. He hid as the elephants walked inside the building. ,curious as to what was inside the small cat walked towards the open door, but just as he was about to enter the door closed leaving him outside with a confused expression.
At daw, the sky turn to a yellowish and pinkish. The elephants were in their sms meditation position. Willits flute was heard as it was quiet and peacefully. Both kits sat on a high wall, Willits playing her flute. The melody soon stoped, "That song you are playing - it's very sad," abern said as he walked towards the two Kitts.
"It's a lullaby," wilykit said.
"Our mother used to hum it to us," walykat added.
"While you miss her greatly, know she always lives on threw your song," abern said making both Kitts look down at the flew. A smile crossed her lips as she lifted her flute. "Oh, but please, continue I didn't mean to interrupt." She began to play her flute, and soon abern used his trunk as a trumped. She stoped and look his way, he looked at her and both began to play together. Her song began to change as the two played together. They looked at one another as both Kitts walked on the high wall while been walked by their side. Soon wilykat used a wire as strings and began to play along with them. As they played two elephants walked towards them, at the sound of the melody they stoped one of their feet at a time. And within time they walked around playing together a beautiful melody. The other looked at them walked toward the center of the village. Some join in and others watched. As they played the last melody, the sound grew breaking threw elephant statuses. They watched in silent for a minute before the left elephant a began to laugh.
"What just happen? She asked.
Abern bent down, "It seems we have achieved perfect harmony a beautiful and powerful thing," he explained.
"Wow" she looked down at her flute and smiled.
Lion-O climb a tall hill, he used his gauntlet to grab hold of the flat sides of the hill. "It's no wonder the elephants don't do anything about this pest. It's too hard to get here," he mutter as he kept on climbing. He looked to the side as swarm of wraiths flew towards him."Uh-Oh, here they come," He used his sword to protect himself but wasn't able to kill a single one. From above another swarm flew down, it became hard for him to defend himself, that his gripped weaken and he fell down.
Thinking quickly he used his gauntlet claw to fire wires. They attached themself to the hill side. Hanging the lip looked to the side and noticed the swarm of wraith coming towards him again. He used his sword and was able to cut a few, but there were still many surrounding him. He looked to the side as he cover his face, a cave entrance was right besides him. He swung and jumped onto the flat ground. He enter the cave as the bugs followed him. Inside was their home, a wraith hive.
"So that's where you're coming from, he said before turning and running back outside. He ran threw the wraiths that had fallow him inside, slashing a few in order for him to pas them. Once outside he stood in front of the entrance, the red stone in his sword glowed.
"Mind if I close the front door?" He used the power of the stone to shatter some rocks and shut the entrance of the cave. Then he ran back to the village.
Unnoticed by him, a small tree that was on top of the rocks began to glow. Rock eyebrows twitched as eyes opened. The creature stood up, he was made completely out of rocks. He looked to the side and noticed the wraith laying on the ground dead.
Aideen sat on a on the ground, her back to one of the walls. She admired the sunset as the colors in the sky were beautiful and with the song that was played, it made the place more lively. She enjoy the place she was in. It was quite and peaceful.
"Aideen?" She heard but the voice didn't belonged to Isha or Tygar. She turned to see cheetara standing next to her. "Mind if I join you?" She asked.
"Ah, no go ahead," she replied and the female cat sat next to a moment they just stayed silent but Aideen knew there was something bothering the cat. She sat straight and looked at the cat, "if something the matter? It seems like something is bothering you."
The cheetah looked ahead she closed her eyes and sigh. "Do you...Do you have feeling for Tygra?" She asked hesitantly.
Aideen was taken by surpris and was confused as to why she would ask that. "Um.. no. I mean what exactly do you mean by feelings? I view Tygra like I view all of you, a friend."
She turned to look at he half-human, "do you like Tygra?"
"Well I do-" she began but stoped herself as she saw something within the cheetahs eyes. "Oh. You mean that 'like'. Um no I don't."
"But you and him are always together and you share more about you with him than with us."
Aideen sigh, what she said was true and she wasn't going to deny it. "That doesn't mean I have feeling beyond that of.. perhaps .. a brother." She then leaned against the wall in thought, "you know now that I think about it. He Is almost like a brother to me."
Cheetara felt relief at hearing that but at the same time she felt guilty. If both of them liked each other then she shouldn't interfere that's what a friend would do. "I'm sorry for asking something lie that."
The brown eyed girl shock her head, "it's alright. After all.. you like him, don't you?" She asked with a knowing smile.
Cheetara smiled at the girl and nodded her head . "Ever send we were young. He became special to me," she replied making the girl smile. Then she looked at her with soft expression, "but... what does he feel about you?"
She blanked then looked at the sky, "that... is something I can't answer. Sorry. But if it helps.. I can assure you our relationship won't change from that of friends."
Cheetara tilted her head, "how are so sure?"
"Because I don't believe in love. Nor do I want it."
Cheetara looked at her face as it was serious. She was surprise at what the girl had stated but confused as to why she would say that. "Why do you say that?"
Aideen glanced at her then looked back at the sky. With a shrug she answer, "people tend to get hurt at the end. I believe no one is really that loyal to someone. But that's just my opinion." She then answer honestly, "I didn't really have a good experience with it and neither did my brother. So I just ended not believing in it." The cheetah put a Han on her shoulder, she knew the girl had a painful experience as she grew.
"Perphas, you just haven't found the right person," she advised.
"Perhaps, but... how would someone know who the right person is," she mutter as both stayed quiet and the moon began to rise.
At night the elephants along with the two shannen, meditated. The lion ran towards the sitting elephant, "Abern!" He shouted getting the attention of the elephant any the two girls that were in front of him.
"Aren't supposed to be practicing with Anet?" He asked.
"I thought I'd do you a favor instead," the lion replied, "I took care of wraiths. They wont be bothering you anymore."
The other elephant gasped, "Oh, you shouldn't have done that," abern said as he looked at the lion. Both the girls stood up from their positions and walked towards the lion.
"What? Why?" He asked in confusion.
The elephant blanked, "I don't remember but there's a good reason," he replied.
"Because the harmony of the universe is now out of tune," Anet said as he walked towards the four of them along with the rest of the thundercats. "You see, Lion-O, the wraiths may have taken some of our crops," he began to explain as the place began to tremble, "but their loud sounds were all that kept something far worst away from our village." He pointed towards the edge of the village. They all walked towards the wall to look down, a giant rock like creature was Climbing the walls getting closer towards them.
"This doesn't look good," Isha mutter ad Aideen nodded in agreement.
"Without its natural enemy patrolling the sky, this creature will do far worst than just eat out food." Anet informed then moved from the wall.
"I didn't know," the lion said with guilt on his voice. Aideen but a hand on his shoulder trying to make him not feel bad for what he did.
"We elephants may not remember much," anet said as their attention turned toward him. "But we never forget there is a delicate balance to all things. Come, let us meditate." He turned and began to walk towards the meditating elephants, the others stayed where they were.
"Come on," lion-O said as he looked over the wall then back at them, "We can't wait for it to come to us It'll destroy the entire village."
Aideen looked at the wall the back at the elephants. She shock her head, "you go but I.. Will go with anet sometimes you need to think before you act. Who even knows if this is the right thing to do."
"What else can we do? Let them destroy the village?" He asked as he looked at her. His face showed determination, "no it could be to late." He turned and ran towards the entrance the others following him. Isha looked back and forth between the lion and her cousin her decision unsure. "Go with him," she said as she walked towards the other elephants. The older girl nodded and ran to catch up with the others.
Wilykat looked at his sister as she began to fallow Aideen, "Where are you going?" He asked.
"To meditate," was her replied before she walked towards the elephants and sat next to abern. Aideen sat next to anet and closed her eyes her breath becoming steady.
"Thundercats, ho!" Lion speed down the hill and began to attack the giant rock creature. He used his sword to slit part of his hand then jumped and slashed his stomach making rock crumble down. Cheetara used her staff to hit one of it legs smashing the rocks that helped his stand. Tygra used the postal and blasted at his other leg, then used his whip to smash the rocks from under him. Isha used her wind to slash some of the rocks as she made the wind thin as a blade. The rock creature fell to the ground and panthro threw a rock at his head smashing him to pieces. They all looked at the crumbled rocks, their eyes widen when it reformed. The tree that was on top of his head glowed, he used magic to make four flat rocks surrounded the thundercats then another one was put on top of them. Shutting the cats inside.
He then began to climb up. The elephants stayed in their position as the sound of the giant for closer and closer to them. Aideen opened her eyes as the giant got closer to them. Wilykat and Snarf became frighten. The giant began to eat one of the buildings rocks falling to the ground.
"What should we do?" Wilykit asked as she began to back away.
"Simply let the answer come to you," Abern answer as he looked down at her. She looked down at her flute then at the giant, that was eating another building. She began to play her flute as he came closer to destroying another building. Just then, when she hit the final note, the elephants used their trunks, the sound was loud that it shatter the giant into pieces but this time he didn't rebuild. They all stood up with a smile on their face.
"Lovely harmony, sis," wilykat said as he looked down at his sister.
"Everything seems to be fine now," Aideen mutter as she looked at the elephants.
"Yes, every thing seems to be in harmony,"Anet said as he stood next to the half-human. Aideen looked up and nodded. "Even you," he added and explained as the girl looked at him with a confused expression. "Your thoughts and emotions were mixed. You were not in harmony, but in conflict. I supposed you have had a had time understanding who you are?"
She blanked Then nodded her head, "yeah, you could say that. I guess I really needed to meditate on everything I learn and not let it get to me."
"The path we take tends to be hard. Many trials await you, but I believe you are strong enough to over come them. All you need is to believe you're strong," he said.
Aideen stayed quite then nodded, "thank you."
At morning the elephants began to clean all of the mess that was left behind. They were till in their cheerful self. Anet stood next to lion-O as the young king looked at the elephant work. The others were behind the two. "You see, Lion-O, when you fail to see the bigger picture, it becomes impossible to know the consequence of your actions," Anet said.
"I guess it's no wonder why I'm struggling with sight beyond sight," the lion replied. He turned when he felt someone put his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get it now," the girl said with a smile.
Anet nodded, "Let's try it one more time."
Aideen moved away, as the lion put his sword in front of him. "Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight," the swords guard curled around his eyes. His eyes becoming lighter. The vision was the same as last time; the pink stone stood in what looked like space. But this time the vision moved backwards to show the stone was in the hut that snarf had seen the elephants enter.
"The hut," lion said as he removed th sword from in front of him. "The stone is in the hut!" The others eyes widen. They allowed the lion as he ran towards the small hut. He open the door to find nothing but a broom. He walked out as the other waited for him.
"I don't understand," he said as he looked at the wise elephant.
"Perhaps a different approach is in order," Anet said as he looked at the lion. "Go to the forest of Magi Oar, One of the most enchanted places on all of Third earth. There the power of the sword will be amplified and your connection with it."
"Where is this forest" Isha asked.
"Um...isn't it..um..uh," the elephant was having trouble remembering. He looked at abern to see if he remembered.
"I was just there," abern said as he also seemed to ha e forgotten.
Anet rubbed his trunk in thought. "Let me think."
Both elephants tried to think of were the forest was. "Oh, brother" panthro said as he shook his head. Isha gave a light laugh, then looked at Aideen who was looking at the hut in thought.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Huh?" Aideen responded as she looked at her. Then looked backed at the hut. She knew lion-O was right, she had also seem what he had. "I now the stone is in there."
IIsha raised an eyebrow, "how do you know?"
"I saw the same vision lion-O did," she replied while looking at her. Her attention went back to the hut, "I also have a feeling were right."
You're connection to the stones is a very powerful one. I assumed you're ancestor was queen of the shannen and they were the creatures of the spirit stone," anet said as the others listen. "But I never thought you would be able to see what the holder of the other stone sees."
Isha looked at Aideen then turnedto lion-O. Anet was right Aideen shouldn't be able to see anything that lion-O sees. "Thats became it's not something that should happen. Only the one that possess the stone should be a let to use sight beyond sight. That's how it has been for centuries."
"Hmm," anet looked at Aideen and lion-O. If what Isha had said was true then there would be another reason for Aideen to have seen the same thing lion-O did. Then he saw what it was. "Ah, I see" the others looked at him. He gestured to the two, "you two have a spiritual connection."
"What?" The both said in confusion.
Isha then nodded her head realizing what he mean, "ah, yes that could be it." She then looked at the other, "you see a spiritual connection is when two people feel a connection deeper than any other connection one has with a person. It could mean many things, as the connection could be; of friend, sibling connection or even... soul mate."
"Whats a soul mate?" Wilykit asked.
"A soul mate is when to people that are strongly connected are meant to be together," Isha explain, she glanced at Aideen who had a blank expression. "In a... well in a romantic way."
Aideen and lion-O looked at one another then looked back at the to her. Their was no way the two could have a soul mate connection. After all lion-O had feelings for cheetara and Aideen didn't want to be in love. But what really made them think it was impossible was the fact that they were both completely different species. And even if Aideen was able to be with someone of another species they both knew that was something they would not be comfortable with.
"But," anet spoke again, their attention went back to him. "He's not the only one she has a connection with her."
Isha blanked a couple of times, "who else?" She asked. In truest she has wanted Aideens connection to lion, to mean exactly what she explained. Anet pointed to the older brother, taking them by surprise. "What!?" The older girl exclaimed. She began to shake her hands, "oh no no. That is something I do not what to happen. Why him out of all the people!" Tygra glared at her and she glared back, "yeah I don't like you!"
"Isha leave Tygra alone," the younger girl sigh as she shook her head. She looked at the older elephant, "what kind of connection do I have with them?"
"I do not know," he replied, "but what I do know is that you're connection with Tygra is stronger than the connection with Lion-O." This worried cheetara as the older girls explanation repeated in her head. And even lion-O became worried but that feeling he didn't understand and just mistook it as worried for his friend. While Isha was hoping Tygra didn't have that connection with her.
Alchy walked threw a dark hallway. Her plans were falling right into place. All she needed was the stone, and make the girls heart dark and everything would be hers. She smirked as she came closer to her destination. She opened looked to the side making sure none had followed her, then walked threw a metal wall. Despairing from her watchers sight.
She came closed to a tall black frame mirror. She bowed down and lifted her hands, "oh my dear Lord. I have heard your calling. What is it that you wish," she spoke. In the mirror appeared a black figure.
"I want to know how things are going, Alchy" his voices was deep and loud.
"Evrything s going according to plan. The girl is remembering, and soon darkness with be within her soul. We are beginning to locate to stones," she reported.
"good, but don't forget about Tigress. You must kill her after you have the stones. If not she will become and even bigger threat than the thundercats," he said.
Alchy lifted her head and smirked, "don't worry. She will be taken care of."
"good. Then make care of the spy," with that the dark figure disappeared.
BBefore the spy could leave, the black witch used her magic and made him come closer to her. Alchy looked at Grune as the saber didn't even flinch by her dark eyes. "Its not good to spy " she said as she lowers him.
"But what you were talking about was... interesting." He replied with a smirk of his own. Alchy though about the situation, she could use this to her favor.
"We then," she looked at him, her eyes going back to her normal color. "How about I give you a deal, you will not tune down."
The saber crossed his arms, "I'm listening," he said making her smile widen.
Please review/favorite/and follow.
I also wanted to answer one question that was put in the comments. If Aideen would turn into a tiger, because of her ancestor having children with a tiger; the answer is no. Her ancestor has two children with Cato but that was along time ago. The cats blood line would have been erased from her mothers DNA. So no she cant, not unless her father is a cat or her grandfather was one.
I'm also glade I didn't get some of you confused, but if their is something you want me to answer. Just leave a question and I will try to answer it.
