IdontKnow: Thanks for the review! Glad you're enjoying the story. I have no idea why no one else has.
Chapter 16
The six ThunderCats and one Warrior Maiden found a similar situation as their friends had only minutes ago. They were able to hide themselves before the rounding hallway would give away their position.
"What do we do?" WilyKat asked.
"Can you use the Sword?" His sister wondered.
"They aren't ThunderCats. The Sword will have no effect on them." Lion-O said. Before anyone could suggest anything else, there was a commotion in the hallway. Cheetara poked her head around the corner to see the Thunder Guard moving closer to the control room. With their attention focused elsewhere, the weapons room would now be accessed easily.
"Let's move." She told the others and they quickly ran to the room. The door slid open and they ducked inside. Willa easily found her bow along with her arrows.
"How many of those sleep gas arrows do you have?" Lion-O asked.
"Three." Willa replied.
"We'll need them to put the Thunder Guard to sleep. That way we'll get into the control room easier and they won't get hurt." The Lord of the ThunderCats explained. Willa nodded and slung her quiver over her shoulder.
"What have you got there?" Tygra asked Panthro. The panther held three grenade-type objects.
"It's a form of warp gas." He answered nonchalantly.
"Warp gas?!" The orange tiger didn't like where this was going.
"A form of warp gas. This stuff is the legal version." Panthro assured him.
"But I thought that stuff was useless." Tygra said confused.
"Well yes and no. You'll see what I mean." The panther smirked and headed for the door.
"Let's go." Lion-O called to everyone and they headed out into the hallway. No one could predict what would happen but they had to be ready for anything.
In the meantime, the light idea had worked and two of the three remaining ThunderCats had made it into the control room. They stood and faced the four Mutants and Mumm-Ra.
"Look who's here." Slythe smirked.
"Who were you expecting?" Ben-Gali said as he pulled his hammer from its holster.
"Some bigger kitties, but no matter." The reptile replied. The two began to fight and Lynx-O was left without a weapon. Pumyra was still out in the hallway. Battle cries could be heard outside and the chance that the puma would be coming in soon didn't look good.
"You take the blind one." Monkian told Jackalman.
"Why do I have to?" The wild dog whined. The control room doors opened and Pumyra tumbled in, interrupted the whining. The distraction was enough for Lynx-O to hit Jackalman square on the chin. In an instant, Pumyra was on her feet and she joined the fray.
"Why are they wasting their efforts?" Vultureman asked Mumm-Ra.
"You said it yourself earlier. Not much going on upstairs." The mummy just shrugged. Vultureman grabbed the Amulet from around his neck and started to call to it.
"Amulet of Seti take hold of…" he never finished his sentence as the control room doors busted open and Lion-O, Panthro, Cheetara, Tygra, the ThunderKittens, and Willa arrived.
"The cavalry's here." Ben-Gali smiled.
"Took them long enough." Pumyra joked as she hit Monkian upside the head with her foot.
"Ho!!!" Lion-O shouted. The Sword of Omens obeyed its master, sending an energy blast in Vultureman's direction.
