Chapter 3, Defeating Mumm-ra, Part 2
Everybody continued to stare at the two Peters, the one in the mud puddle, appearing to have an evil look on his face, while the other one, continued to hover in the sky near the group, looking more determined than ever to win this battle.
"Tommy, how are we gonna know which Peter is the evil one?" Chuckie asked.
"Well, obviously, if Mumm-ra disguised himself as Peter, then he's obviously going to use his super powers, to try to fight us. So, all we've got to do, is make sure to aim our attacks at the fake Peter that's trying to destroy us, thus, destroying Mumm-ra, once and for all." Explained Tommy.
Everybody took to the sky and formed a circle around the fake Peter, ready to block any attack that came their way. Just then, the fake Peter let out the mystical wail, causing the entire earth to trimble. The rugrats however, stood their ground, going against the vibration. Before anybody could attack the fake Peter, he vanished into a nearby cave, and the rugrats, followed him there.
"Wait! Stop!" Shouted Lil, as she spotted electrical sparks coming out of the door of the cave.
"No worries Lil, I will stop this." Said Kimi, making a force field around the rugrats, protecting them.
Just then, Dil started shooting magnets out of his fingers at the cave, dodging the electrical sparks.
"You're gonna lose!" Bellowed the fake Peter from the cave, sounding like the real Peter when he was angry.
"Over my dead body." Tommy shouted, as he stretched out his leg, and kicked one of the magnets that Dil was shooting, right into the fake Peter's leg.
"Ow!" Roared the fake Peter in pain, as he toppled over backwards on to the cave floor.
All of the rugrats, Jesse, Zack, the good Peter, and Bobby used this opportunity, to fly into the cave, and do some serious battle with the fake Peter.
"Now what are we going to do?" Phil asked.
"Leave it up to me and Peter." Said Lil, as she and Peter started tossing spheres of ice in fake Peter's direction.
The spheres of ice got lodged into fake Peter's chest, causing his heart to become frozen.
"Look guys, I think we're making some progress!" Said the good Peter, as he turned towards the fake Peter, who's brown hair was turning white, and his skin was turning blue.
As the ice continued to freeze fake Peter's heart, the fake Peter started to lose strength, collapsing to the ground, hardly able to move.
"Is he, is he, gone?" Susie asked.
"Let me have a look." Said Bobby, as he used his x-ray vision, to get a good look at the inside of the fake Peter.
While the fake Peter's blood was starting to turn blue, his heart was still beating.
"Guys, from what I can see with my x-ray vision, we may have frozen his heart, but not enough to stop it, as it appears to still be beating just enough to allow him to survive. If Mumm-ra is as tough as he claims to be, he'll find a way to win." Explained Bobby.
"We can't back down now guys, come on." Said Tommy.
But all of the sudden, the sun started to go down, leaving everybody in total darkness.
"Bobby, we need your special glow, it's the only way we're going to finish the job." Demanded Tommy.
"Sure thing Tommy." Said Bobby, as his entire body, started to glow a very bright light.
Just then, Bobby got a clever idea. What if he shined so bright right up in the fake Peter's face, that he blinded the fake Peter, making it impossible for him to see to fight the rugrats clearly. So Bobby flew over in front of the fake Peter's face, which was nearly white from being frozen, and glowed so bright, that Zack, Jesse, the real Peter, and all of the other rugrats, had to cover their eyes, just to protect themselves from becoming blind.
"Hey! Stop this! You're blinding me!" Shouted the fake Peter.
But Bobby wasn't giving up. He continued to shine brightly blinding the fake Peter, while Zack proceeded to turn into a lantern, and scooted over to Bobby, who picked it up, only intensifying the light that was going into the fake Peter's eyes.
"Stop! Stop!" The fake Peter shouted, his voice getting weaker with every yell, as he continued to freeze.
A few more minutes of the blinding passed, before the fake Peter's strength finally gave out, causing him to close his eyes, and collapse to the floor. But just as the fake Peter's strength gave out, so did Bobby's, causing his glow to be exstinguished, leaving all of the rugrats in total darkness, as by this time, Zack had turned back into his human form.
"Guys, where are you?" Chuckie cried.
"We're right here." Shouted Angelica, as she accidentally backed into a bolder, which toppled on top of the rugrats, causing everybody to become trapped by the bolder.
"Chuckie! Get this off of us!" Shouted Phil from beneath the bolder.
Chuckie took a deep breath and lifted the heavy bolder off of his friends.
Upon lifting this bolder, he threw it in the opposite direction, hoping it would land on the body of the fake Peter, but it missed. Just then, Zack turned himself into a set of light fixtures, illuminating the cave just enough so Tommy could make his move. Stretching out his foot, he kicked the bolder on top of the body of fake Peter, which continued to lie on the ground.
Upon impact, a noise was heard.
"What was that?" Jesse asked.
"I don't know, we'd better go look." Replied Tommy, as he flew towards where the bolder had landed.
Angelica and Chuckie both lifted the bolder out of the way, to reveal a stone sarcophagus where the fake Peter's body once lay.
"We did it you guys, we did it!" Exclaimed Peter happily, as he reached into a pocket of his gray Confederate uniform and pulled out the thirmas that was given to the gang a while back by the Watcher of Dreams, scooped up the stone sarcophagus, and placed it into the thirmas, securing the top tightly on the thirmas, so it couldn't try to escape.
"You mean, we defeated Mumm-ra?" Chuckie asked.
"Yes Chuckie, we sure did." Peter replied.
"Does this mean our mission is over and we'll be waking up soon?" Lil asked.
"Nope, we still have to free the Thundercats, and find the sword of omens and repair it, restoring peace and prosperity in all of Thundera. Come on!" Said Tommy, as he flew out of the cave, towards the night sky, which was now illuminated by a full moon.
Peter, Jesse, Bobby, and the other rugrats followed Tommy out of the cave, and once the last person had escaped, it was Zack's q to turn back into a person from a set of light fixtures, and join the others outside, as they made their way towards the frozen glass globe, that had the Thundercats trapped inside.
And this, ends chapter 3. So, will the Rugrats free the Thundercats from their icy glass prison? And will they repair the sword of omens? We'll find out, in the next chapter, so please, do stay tuned!
