Night fall came, everyone had made out of the Sand Sea. And back onto real land,in a forest. Now on a new quest, to find the book of Omens. You where very relieved at the change of course. You stare up at the night sky, as you where up in the air over the others. You just looked up calming yourself, you could sense the others down below you. They had only one mission on their mind right now. While you on the other hand had much more. But those would have to wait for now. You had to focus on their mission.
"WilyKit loves the Frug, WilyKit loves the Frug."WilyKat taunts his sister down below.
Making you look down below you, as you heard him way up in the sky. You see as she chases her brother. Amun was with them. You go back down, WilyKit picks up something to throw at her brother.
"Shut up!"she yells at him. It misses him as he just laughs at her still. She was about to throw something at him again. When he stops as he looks behind her to see you. You came so silently, she looks at her brother. Seeing his face, turning around as well to find you."Zahra!"she looks up at you.
You look at them both, Amun comes over to you."Whats going on here?"you asked them.
They both look at eachother, then back at you"He won't shut up"WilyKit points at her brother frustrated.
You look at him"I was just only teasing."he tells you with a smile."How was your mediation?"he asked trying to change the subject.
"Fine, you both shouldn't wonder off so far from the others view. Come on lets go back to camp."you tell them as you walk off. Amun follows behind you, the twins hurry and follow you as well.
"Hey Zahra, what do you do when you mediate?"WilyKat asked you.
"...I just clear my mind. Why do you tease your sister?"you asked him.
He doesn't say anything after that, a explosion happens. As it shakes the ground a bit. You stop in your tracks, the twins stop on your side."Come."you tell them as you grab hold of them, Amun jumps on your shoulder. You teleport away, to teleport next to Cheetera. Lion-O was with her along with Snarf and Tygra, looking up ahead at where the shaking came from. There where lights, you could hear the sound of their mechanics.
"Its the whole lizard army!"Cheetera"Just say the word Lion-O."she looks at him.
The others do, but yourself. You just look straight ahead. You swallow hard, as you dig your nails into the bark of the large tree branch you all where perched on.
"No, if we stay here we die."Lion-O tells the others. You look at him, he stands up still looking over to where the lizard army is.
"Thundercats do not retreat."Tygra stands opposing his brother's decision.
"With a situation like this hopeless."Lion-O
"Hope comes from action"Tygra tells him"Isn't that what father told us."
"And look what happen to him? Now come on."Lion-O turns ending their argument. As he jumps to the next tree branch, the others follow. You go as well though fly next to them. When Lion-O comes to a stop, you land next to him and others.
You look up ahead at a huge dome of thorns"They won't find us in there."Lion-O points to it.
"It will give us the cover that is needed."you tell him, as you jump down. Amun follows you as well, you land gracefully down. As you look up at the place, when you did something in your memory snapped. You grab your head from the slight pain you got from it. laughter echoed in your mind. You look up at the entrance of the place. Amun whines as he sees you in pain. You slowly reach your hand out to touch it when the others came.
"Come o- Zahra whats wrong?"Lion-O asked you.
The others look at you, snapping you out of your state. You turn giving them the cold shoulder as you hurry up inside"Its nothing."you tell them
The others just look at you, but go inside anyway. You kept your distance from them. The further you got into this place the stronger the laughter got. The more your mind was hurting from it. As you try hard not hold your throbbing head.
Your hand was itching to do so, but stopped when you heard soft peaceful singing. You stop walking, as you look straight ahead.
"...That sound"you tell yourself, as you started back up walking. The sound was getting closer. You look through the thorns. The others reach you.
Lion-O was about to call out to you, when he saw what you where looking at. He looks himself, his eyes widen as you had. There in the middle of this whole forest where small planet looking species, Petalars.
You look at them, as you listen to them sing. Their song, it was like you had heard it before. But you didn't know where or when. But it calmed you down inside. You leaned in closer to hear it. As if hypnotized you. Placing your hand on some thorns, the sharp pain of the thorns going through your skin, you take your hand back quickly as you look at your now injured hand.
It was bleeding as you saw the small holes from that the thorns made, you then hear gasping. Looking up you see that the Petalars looking at all of you scared. As you all stare down at them. When one of them comes over with purple hair.
"What are you I've never seen people like you before"he comes over asking"Are you from here in the bryer? Whats that in hands, did you make it yourself? Your not the same as the others are you some kind of pet?"he asked Snarf and Amun"Do you grow from seeds like us? Whats that red crystal? How tall are anyway? Why are you covered in hair? What kind o-mmmm"Lion-O overs his mouth using one finger.
"Ok, slow down, you sound like me when I was your age."he tells him, the others started to laugh.
The Petalars invited you all in, the others sat down. Though you remain standing as you just looked up and around. Something was itching in the back of your mind about this place. Their song that they sung. It just wouldn't stop in your mind, Amun watched you as he sat down next to the others. He was worried about you.
You look at your hand, when you did a image of your hand but much smaller flashed in your mind with the same wounds.
"Let me see Zahra"a soft voice echos in your mind.
You look around for that voice and where it came from. You didn't see anything, but you knew you heard a voice. Dropping your head behind your cloth, you walk off away from the others. Starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Zahra, where are you going?"WilyKat asked you
The others look at you, you stop walking your back turned to them"...I'll be right back"you tell them as you teleport away from them all.
WilyKat looks at her brother who looks at her. Both where worried as they look back where you were just standing.
You teleport to a different part of the thorn forest,there was a river there for you. You dip your hand in it, as you let the water run through your wounded hand. It stung, but you didn't care.
"Zahra, my little one let me see."the same soft voice echoed again in your mind.
You look around to find nothing, or anyone. It was just quiet. You go back to cleaning your head.
"Their so music, it's beautiful" a younger voice echoes in your head, you knew that voice. It was yours."Hi, I'm Zahra"it echos again. You also saw a cute smile flash in your head. A hand was on your shoulder, which made you jump as you tumble back into the water. Making a splash. You put up a shield around you. As you look on to see that it was WilyKit and WilyKat with Amun.
"Zahra?"WilyKit looks at you.
You put your shield down, as you see that they had something in their hands."Yes."you look at them.
"The Petalars gave us something for your hand."WilyKat tells you holding out something purple on a leaf.
You get up out of the water, as you take it from them"Thank you."you tell them as you start to apply it to your wound. It was quiet with them. You look at them out the corner of your eye. You finish applying it, as you look at them fully. Standing up, you open your other hand. When you did, using your energy you make energy like butterflies and other neat things.
Their eyes light back up, as they look at it. Smiling as they laugh at it. You smile at their reaction, looking back at you. You give them a smile."Come."you tell them,they nod their heads at the walk off first. You follow them. Only to be stopped by Tygra who came out.
"Prince Tygra"they greet him with a smile.
He smiles down at them, but looks at you."Do you guys mind. I want to talk with Zahra for a moment."he tells them.
They look at you then back at Tygra, nodding their head. WilyKat picks up Amun as they leave you both alone.
"Prince Tygra. Is there something I can help you with?"you asked him.
He didn't say anything to you, so you just started to walk by him. When he quickly grabs the wrist of your hand that was injured. You turn around to see him looking at it."What went through your mind?"he asked you.
"Nothing."you lie to him.
"..."he lets go of your wrist, as he looks at you. He got that same look in his eyes like before that one night. You drop your eyes away from him."Don't lie to me."he tells you softly.
"Prince Tygra...excuse me."you tell him, as you get ready to teleport. When he swiftly grab you by your shoulders. Which put you in shock. Looking up at him, he moves closer to you.
In the thorns. A pair of eyes watched you both.
"Tygra, Zahra."Cheetera's voice calls for you both. Making you both look up, she comes into view."There you both are. Come on, we're moving out."
"Ok"you tell her as you walk pass her. She looks at you,then back at Tygra who follows but says nothing.
You meet up with Lion-O and the others. Who informed you as well Tygra when he came into view that you all would be helping Petalaers on their quest. Tygra was given the map, as you all started to walk deeper into the forest.
"Are we making any progress?"Cheetera asked.
"If the map is meant to lead us into every single bryer then yes."Tygra says a bit upset"Then yes we're doing great."
You guys kept walking on and on, as the sun started to set. Some of the Petalars who where older died as they blew off in the wind.
"Whats the point of it all, Kingdoms rise and fall. Life times come and go. Are any of here long enough to make a difference?"Lion-O says out loud.
You place a hand on his shoulder, he turns and looks at you"...Prince Lion-O, life is a great gift. Do not think so down about it."you tell him.
"She's right, when you talk like that you sound like an old man." a voice tells him. You both look as you see one of the Petalars that looked familiar. He smiles at Lion-O then looks at you."Your beautiful companion is right."
Lion-O smiles at him cheekily a bit, blushing."...She's not my companion."
"No, I'm not, just his protector."you tell the Petalar as you leave them both.
The Petalar smiles."Isn't not the samething?"The same Petalar runs over to Cheetera as he takes the map she was reading, he looks straight ahead"This is it,the gateway to the cliff of Winds, once we get passed this we'll be free"he tells his people.
Everyone cheers for him"Then lets go"Lion-O tells the others. As you all started to walk off, a few of the Petalars got on Amun as they did with Snarf. WilyKat and WilyKit let others ride them as well. As everyone got closer, a shot came from behind as it hit Lion-O making him fall.
"Lion-O!"Cheetera calls to him. When she looks as a lizard appears the one who shot him. Another one comes down and knocks her and Tygra down. Another one came as they throw something at the twins which electrocute them as they fall down tied up.
You where left as you got ready to fight them all, when the one that shot Lion-O smiles at you"I don't think so witch."he throws something at you quickly that explodes before it hits you. The blast blew you back hitting a wall of thorns, as you fall down to the ground. Lizards look down at you all, when they hear yelling. Looking up the Petalars come in charging at them.
As some of them transform into shooting pollen, as they went after the Lizards. Who couldn't see through the pollen. But it helped the rest of you. You get up, as you summon thorn vine, you make it wrap around one of the lizards, as it screams in pain. But you didn't care at all. You tighten the grip on the vine, as the lizard screams more and more.
"..."Amun comes as he pulls on your cloth, you snap out of it. Looking down at him. He looks up at you then over his shoulder, you look as you see the others got through the thorn tunnel. You look back at the Lizards, but follow them. Picking up Amun.
You had to crawl on all four, before you all reached the other side. To find, nothing but more forest. There was no Cliff of Winds, nothing. You look around. Night fall had come now.
"There's nothing here."WilyKit says.
"Did I read the map wrong?"Tygra asked.
You look back at him, then back at everyone else. The Petalars looked disappointed as well. You take off in the air, the others look up at you. You hurry as you make your way to the top of the dome, looking through the thorns up at the moon.
"I beg you, please."you beg the moon"Do not let their hopes go in vain."As you close your eyes, when they open from the smell of smoke. You look as you see black smoke come from around the dome.
You see, someone set fire to the thorn forest. You cover your mouth, when you remember the other below. You quickly make it back down, to see the fire getting closer as well, the Petalars where leaving. There was a wind that was carrying them away. But there was Lion-O who was holding his friend, as he watched him die.
WilyKit and WilyKat started to cry, Cheetera drops her head, Tygra looks up along with his brother. Amun watches along with Snarf. You seem unfazed but you ached inside.
"Lets go home"Lion-O tells everyone.
Everyone looks up at the Petalers as they flew away by the wind current. It was a wonderful sight. WilyKit played her musical instrument for them. You held onto Amun tightly. He looks up at you,then at Petalars. You stood away from the others as you did so.
"...The wind, carried them away from this danger. To a home."you tell yourself Amun looks up at you. You close your eyes, stopping your tears.
"And the wind will carry you home too."Lion-O's voice, you felt him wrap a arm around your shoulders. You look at him, then at the Petalars. You listen to them as they sung their song.
"What do we do know?"Tygra asked
"We can find another way out of this bryer"Cheetera suggest.
"Retreat, Thundercats never retreat. I say we face the lizards and hope for the best."Lion-O tells them"We're all leaves passing in the wind. Here and then gone. But while we're here, we live to the fullest."he takes out his sword.
Outside the Lizards where waiting for the fire to finish it's work, when one of them see a flash of light. Turning they look and sees everyone come charging out. Lion-O takes down some Lizards, Tygra shots a few of them. Cheetera takes on a few. You do your part, when one of the robots fired at you, you blocked it with a shield then lashed out at them twice the force. You where able to cover the air, while the others covered the ground.
But there was to many of them, as they cornered the others. You have easily left them, but you drop back down with them. Your eyes glowing ready to attack.
Just as one of the robots where about to attack, something from behind it attacks it first destroying it. It attacks another robot, the lizards started to retreat, you all look on to see a vehicle coming over.
"What is that?"Cheetera asked shocked at it.
The vehicle attacked the remaining robots, when comes over to everyone "Hope its on our side."WilyKit says a bit nervous.
You look on at it as well, the top opens up. When a figure comes out.
"Who are you?"Lion-O asked, a lizard came to attack the new comer, but the one driving the vehicle just grabbed knocking it back with their weapon they held.
Then goes to answer Lion-O's question "The name is Panthro"he tells everyone.
