chapter 3
The Thundercats knew things would not be easy but at least they had their allies. Suddenly the ran into someone it was an exhausted white tiger. They gave him some food and water.
"Thank you so much." he said. "My name Tygrous" he said.
"Nice to meet you where did you come from I thought I was the only white tiger left." Bengali said.
"There are others being held captive by some Lizards. The lizards captured every white tiger for the tiger clan. I don't know why but it probably because according to the legend of how white tigers came to be they probably assume we have magically qualities." Tygrous said.
"Can you tell us this legend?" Lionia asked.
"Yes a long time ago before tigers came to Third earth with the other animals and before the animals were with Mum-Ra a female tiger was widowed before she could have a child. She prayed everyday. Hoping to either be granted her husband back or a cub. The good spirits sprinkled stardust on her from a star that was the purest white. They told her she will bare cub. Sure enough many months later she gave birth to a son. Her son had the most beautiful white coat. He had stripes like other tigers but he was all white and not orange and white like other tigers. The widow was amazed by the beauty of her son. Everyone admired her son. Sure enough more of the good spirits sprinkled more widows who lost their husbands before they bore children with the dust of the same star and more white tigers were born. That is how the white tiger came to be." Tygrous said.
"I see," Lionia said.
"We have to free these white tigers." Bengali said.
"Bengali is right." Pumrya said.
"Then let's go." Lionia said.
They went in and found the white tigers all locked up there was a really old one. He saw Bengali. "Bengali?" he said.
"How do you know my name?" Bengali asked.
"How do I know I'm your grandfather." he said.
"My grandfather. You mean my grandpa Whitensius?" Bengali asked.
"Yes I was taken only few days after you were born." Whitensius said.
"We'll get all of you out of here so you can return home." Lionia said.
"The curse was broke." Tygra said.
"Yes we know." another said. "We know you did it out of humility. You will become fine leader in your father's place Tygra." she said.
They let the tigers out and the lizards discovered them. "Come on you have to fight back if you want to be free." Lionia said.
The tigers did. They managed to escape. "Now we can go home." Whitensius said.
"This is wonderful." Bengali said.
"Thank you all so much we will help you any time." Whitensius said. "I hope you two will have a happy life together once you are married to Lionia Bengali you two are a beautiful couple." he said.
With that the white tigers headed home.
The tigers saw them arrive. The white tigers told the story of how the Thundercats saved the day.
Now the tigers and other animals knew it was time to help the Thundercats with the final battle.
It was almost time for the final battle. "Is everyone ready?" Lionia asked.
"We sure are." Tygra said.
"We will defeat Mum-Ra no doubt about it." A tiger said.
"It is good to be confident but not overconfident." Lionia said.
"She's right." Cheetara said.
"Now is everyone prepared for this?" Lionia asked.
"Yes," They answered.
"Now let's get moving." Lionia said.
So the Thundercats and the other animals began to move out.
They made to the peak. Soon Mum-Ra and his forces would be over the hill.
"Lionia it's almost time." Bengali said.
"I know, but no matter what I happens I love you." Lionia said.
"I know be careful because I don't want to know what life is like without you." Bengali said.
"Same for you." Lionia said.
They had a small kiss. Tygra cleared his throat breaking the tender moment.
They saw Mum-Ra and his troops coming up. "Charge!" Mum-Ra said.
"For Third earth." Lionia said. "Charge," she said.
The two armies charged at each other. Lionia could see many of the lizards and rats were feeling torn. "Listen I know you Lizards and Rats lived under the effect of Mum-Ra and a bad leaders but it doesn't have to be this way for you, decide what you want." Lionia said.
Realizing Lionia was speaking the truth. The lizards and Rats turned against their generals and leaders. "Lionia's right you guys don't care about us." A lizards said.
"Yeah we can have better life." a rat said.
They began to fight with the Thundercats.
"Look Lionia got the Lizards and Rats to fight with us." Bengali said.
"Well I'll be." Panthro said.
They managed to trap Mum-Ra in his sarcophagus and Cheetara put a magical lock on it. This way Mum-Ra wouldn't get out. The programmed a ship and sent him away from Third earth to an uninhabited part of the galaxy. So if Mum-Ra does escape from his sarcophagus he would have hard time finding his way back.
The Generals were arrested. Pumrya and the others treated the wounded.
Later all the animals met up. "Everyone we all did well now we can have true peace and can rely on one another. Now we can rebuild the places that got destroyed because of Mum-Ra and his forces we will do it together." Lionia said.
They began to rebuild over the couple of years. Now all the towns and cities were whole again.
Thundera was brought back to it's beautiful state.
"Now we can bring forth happiness." Lionia said.
"Yes we can." Bengali said. He looked at her and smiled.
Lionia smiled at him. They came in closer they were about to kiss.
"Lionia," Tygra said.
"Huh, oh Tygra." Lionia said.
"Sorry was I interrupting?" Tygra asked.
"Not really what is it?" Lionia asked.
"Cheetara and I are getting married." Tygra said.
"That's wonderful," Lionia said. "I'm so happy for you both." she said.
"All of the animals must know." Bengali said.
"Your right." Lionia said. "Did you tell your father?" she asked.
"I sure did he's very happy to here it." Tygra said.
"That's wonderful." Lionia said.
The wedding planning had begun. It was perfect. On the wedding day many of the cats and other animals attended. In fact the whole Tiger clan attended. Everyone was so happy about this occasion.
Tygra and Cheetara were finally married.
It wasn't long before Tygra and Cheetara would here the patter of little feet. Everyone knew that Cheetara was going to have a cub. They got quite the surprise the day the cub was born. Cheetara gave birth to twins two boys.
They named the Wildcat and Wildcub. Wildcat looked more like Tygra while Wildcub looked more like Cheetara.
Javan was there they day his grandsons were born. "They look so amazing. Spots and stripes." Javan said.
"Yes they are wonderful." Tygra said.
Short time later was the wedding of Bengali and Lionia. All the animals attended. They were so happy about this. It was truly a night to remember.
"Maybe someday we will have a cub of our own." Bengali said.
"Yes maybe." Lionia said.
To be continued.
