A week has passed since leaving the caravan, things where alright. You seem to have open up a bit more, though mainly towards the twins, who where always by your side or doing something they should not being doing. They enjoyed having you around, seeing how you three are the only family from the previous one. The sphere that Naven had given you three you kept it safe, you and the twins would still look at it.
Though not able to remember them, your parents. It just made you smile whenever you looked at it. You did feel bad you could not give the twins any information on their parents. You would try your hardest to mediate to regain those memories. But you could not get to that door, like before, when you had been slight coma after your fight with your father. It was Jaga who was able to unlock that memory in your mind, since you could not do it yourself. The twins did not seem to mind that you could not. But you felt you owed them some memories of their parents.
"Is he done yet?"Tygra asked,he looks up from inside the tank. You all where inside the Thundertank, besides Panthro. The tank had broken down. He was outside trying to fix it.
Which was taking him sometime, everyone was bored inside. Snarf and Amun just laid on the floor of the tank as they both yawn. The twins sat down as they both sighed. Cheetera just waited, Lion-O was looking at his sword.
You on the other hand, sat down with your eyes closed. Just clearing your mind for no reason really. When everyone heard a rumbling sound. Looking for where it came from, in a second a small explosion came from outside. Which made something burst inside the tank it got filled with smoke. Everyone could smell something burning, Tygra hurries to open the hatch as you all run out coughing into the fresh air.
Turning around, the Thundertank was smoking on the outside as well. Panthro was looking at his Thundertank upset at the outcome of his work on it.
"Guess where sleeping outside."Cheetera says, as rumble from the clouds could be heard.
Nightfall came as did the rain with it. Everyone took settler under giant mushrooms. WilyKit was playing some music, both her and her brother where up off the ground ontop of a mushroom, while using another one to block out the rain. Amun and Snarf where with them.
With you, you look around at everyone as the ran fell on you.
"Zahra are you coming to bed?"WilyKit asked you.
Looking up at her, you smile then look up at the sky. You hear Lion-O mumble about the situation you all where in. Flying up, using your magic you form a energy covering, as you sat in mid-air above everyone.
"Zahra?"WilyKit looks up at you, Lion-O looks up as well. You did not look down at them both.
"I can keep this over us, as long as I stay awake."you tell them, your sister looks on at you worried, then down at Lion-O. Who looks at her, just as worried as she was.
"O-ok"WilyKit says, she looks up at you one last time, before she closed her eyes to sleep.
Lion-O looks up at you, you had to stay fully focus. Though as good in magic as you where, when it came to constructs at times, you had stay focus as best you could to make sure it stayed.
As you kept the rain off the others, little eyes where looking on at everyone.
Sleep started to come over you, after hours of staying awake. Your eyes started to drop but you resisted it as best you could. Just a few more hours till sunrise, that was all you needed.
"Calm your mind."you tell yourself, as you go deep into your mind.
Inside your mind, you look around when you noticed six doors that you had never seen before. Each one was a different color. You walk over to the first one which was red. Just as you turn the doorknob, everything goes black.
"Zahra, Zahra...wake up Zahra."Cheetara calls for you.
Your eyes start to flutter open, slowly as you look to find yourself on the ground. Sitting up slowly you, look around blinking your eyes.
"Morning, already?"you asked
"Zahra did you put that up?"Tygra asked you, as Cheetara helped you up.
Once you stood, you look to see a covering over. The rain was still going."It's not mine."you tell them.
"Well someone did."Lion-O tells everyone as he looks up, the twins wake up coming down off their giant mushroom, Snarf and Amun follow them.
"We're starving."WilyKit whines as she and her brother hurry their way over to the sack.
"Yeah, whats there to eat?"WilyKat asked as he opened the sack, digging inside to find nothing, as he and his sister groan.
"We're going to have to do something about our food situation."Lion-O
WilyKat was still pouting when he spotted something"It looks like someone already did." As he rushes off with his sister behind him.
Everyone looks to see baskets full of colorful stripe fruit, the twins wasted no time digging in. Remember back to the fishmen.
"Guys, you shouldn't eat that."you tell them. Amun nods his head in agreement with you.
But they did not listen to you, as they started to have a boost of energy eating more and more. Panthro came over and picked on up, taking a bite.
"MMM, it's candy fruit."he tells everyone
"Ah, take it easy."Tygra tells the twins"We don't need you any hyper then you already are."
But it was to late for that with them, they where on a sugar rush.. You look at them just a bit freaked out."Seems like,we have someone helping us out."Cheetara points out.
"Question is who?"Lion-O thinks about it.
Everyone else ate some of the fruit, you split yours with Amun. You never really where big on sugar. The twins had stopped. After eating the fruit, Lion-O suggested that everyone hide. To see if the ones helping you guys would come back.
Doing so, it took a about up to 2 hours before they came back. Looking to see robot looking bears make their way to the Thundertank as they start to mess with it.
"What are they doing?"Lion-O wondered.
"I'll tell you what, their messing with my baby."Panthro says a bit in anger, as he hopes out of the hiding spot.
"Panthro wait."Lion-O tries to call him back, but it was no use.
Panthro ran over to them."What are you furry freaks doing to my tank?!"he demands from them.
The little bears see him coming, as they turn into small balls and roll off. Only one got caught by Panthro. Everyone gets over to it and Panthro.
"Put me down."it tells Panthro in a robotic voice.
"What is that?"Cheetara asked.
Panthro puts it down,as it introduces itself."I am Ro-Bear Bil. A Ro-Bear Berbil."he tells everyone.
"Did he say gerbil?"Tygra asked
"Berbil."Bil corrects him
"Derbil?"Panthro.
"Berbil."You try.
"Derbil, mer-derbil"Lion-O tries to say it.
"Nice to meet you Ro-Bear Bil. My name is Wilykit"she tells him, still hyper as she was eating some more fruit"And this is WilyKat and Zahra our older sister. And where the Thundercats."
"I thought I said no more, you two."you snatch away their fruit.
"Hey, hey give it back. Give it back."They start to whine. You hold it up high away from them, which did not stop them. They climb up on you, much to your displeasure.
"Hey cut it out you two."you tell them, as you try to get them off. You where able too. As you dust yourself off"Con-"
"Get her!"WilyKat yells as he points at you. He and WilyKit jump at you, you quickly teleport away. That did not stop them as they come at you still. A bit scared you teleport ontop of one of the mushrooms. As you look around for them, but did not find them.
"...Zahra beh-"Tygra tries to tell you.
You heard him, as you turn around the second you did the twins tackle you. Everyone watches,as you hit the ground hard.
"Ouch"Lion-O
The twins just sat on you as they kept eating the rest of their fruit. Soon other Berbils came and they helped to fix up Thundertank. Then invited everyone to their village. Tygra came over to help get the twins off you. He softly chuckles at you with a smile.
"Don't say anything."you say to him, he just smiles as he sets the twins down who run infront of everyone.
It did not take long to reach the Berbils, it was very pleasant. It was colorful as well, the twins had finally gotten out of their sugar rush as they rode on the Thundertank, you walked with Cheetara, while brothers walked with themselves. Amun and Snarf follow the Berbils.
"I've never seen anything like this."Tygra says, as everyone looks around, they had contraption for everything. It was a cute sight. A small smile came over you.
All the Berbils came to greet everyone, even Bil's family came. His son's name was Ro-Bear-Beebo, and his wife Ro-Bear Bella.
Another Ro-Bear brought over some candy fruit. The twins wast no time as they pick one up. Just as they where about to take a bite. You teleport infront of them, as you take it. They look up at you.
"Awww, come on Zahra."WilyKat whines to you.
"Yeah, it's really good."WilyKit whines with him.
You arch an eyebrow"For you, but it really is not. No."You turn to one of the Bear."No more for them."
The nod their head understanding, you turn back to the twins. Holding up the fruit"No, no more. Understand?"
They look at you pouting, as they fold their arms. You waited for them to say something. They sigh, as they nod their heads upset.
"Good."you place it back down, when you did an alarm went off.
"Whats going on?"Lion-O asked.
All the Berbils started to get scared as they rolled up into their ball form and rolled off. You all watch till something explodes.
"Conquedor comes."Bil tells everyone"He takes Berbils, sells Berbils as slaves."
Before anyone could say anything else, the ground started to shake. Turning see huge tank with capture devices on it. The out came the Conquedor dressed in armor, he looks around, when he spots one of the Berbils. Getting back inside his tank he goes after it, which he captures it.
"We have to help him."Cheetara says as she takes out her staff.
"See I told you guys, using their cuteness on us to fight their battles."Panthro tells everyone.
"Well it worked. Thundercats go."Lion-O tells everyone. You guys charge into battle, Lion-O was able to save that Berbil.
"Well, seems the Berbils have enlisted the help of the Thundercats."Conquedor says. When saw you"As well others." With that he charges up his weapon as he started to attack you guys.
Separating everyone takes him on, you fly as you dodge this gooey like stuff. When you noticed Bella and her son, running. You hurry over to them, you stop infront of them. They stop and look at you.
Just as you about to say something, you hear the tank coming at you three. You stand infront of them. "Stand behind me."you tell them. They do as you say, your eyes start to glow as does your hands. The tank came charging at full speed.
"Mumm na tu Ra!"you yell to launch your attack. Only to find that it did not happen. You realized this, as you look at your hand stun.
"Zahra, look out!"Cheetara yells for you on the top of her lungs.
You snap out of it as you look up, the second you. That claw on the tank swings at you and Berbils. You jump and grab onto them to take the impact for them as it hits you three far across the ground. It knocked you out cold. As the Bella and her son came out your arms.
"Well, well seems I have something worth selling."Conquedor says, as he uses his claw to pick you and Berbils up.
"Zahra, Noooo!"Lion-O/ Twins yells for you as they hurry to rush to you, along with Cheetara. But it was to late, the Conquedor capture you and Berbils. Locking you three away in his tank. He speeds off leaving the Thundercats.
The twins, watch as their older sisters got taken away from them, they cry out your name, in hopes you would hear them and come back. But you did not, all the saw was the tank getting smaller and smaller. Holding onto each other as they cried. Amun cried with them as well.
Water got splashed on you, to wake you up. You do so from the shock of the cold water. It made you upset, just as you where about to say something. Some one comes and grabs you by your hair, as they drag you along the floor. You try to fight them, only to find you tied up.
You where able to look and see others locked away, you then realized where you where. In the Conquedor's tank. Before you could get a good look at your handler, they stop dragging you. Once they did, before you could say anything. They grab bundle of your hair, pulling it up as if trying to rip off you. It hurt you, it reminded you of those with your father.
You try to struggle, but it did not seem to bother them. You try to pull away from them, when you did. Only to be shocked as to the reason why, you could no longer feel your hair on your back, you could only feel your bangs on the side of your face.
Your hair, it was cut off, all of it. To stun to move.
"Are they ready? I have buyers waiting them already. Hurry it up."The Conquedor said. When he saw you, he goes down to your level. Grabbing a hold of your face in his hand. He squeezes it, as he makes you look at him. Chuckling to himself."I'm going to make alot of money off of you. Someone is really interested in buying you."Your eyes widening, knowing what he meant. He pushes your face out of his. Standing up all the way"Lets go."
The selling had begun, you could hear it from in your cell. You tried to get your shackles off, though your mind was replaying how your magic did not work. It has never happen to you before. Just a few hours ago it was working. But was it not now?
But your thinking was cut short, when your caretaker came into your cell. As they grab a hold of you, you try to fight them. But they just dragged you. Till, a small explosion came. Making the tank rock, which you used, as you rammed your caretaker into the wall. Knocking them out, you hurry up as you and run outside, you could hear the commotion, and voices you knew.
Seeing the light, you waste no as you speed up, you reach outside. To see the that the Conquedor had been attacked as well the Berbils where not there any more, and neither that huge white cat.
Looking around for what could have caused this, Lion-O and the others minus Panthro and the twins. Fighting off the mob.
"Guys!"you yell on the top of your lungs, which caught their attention, they turn and look at you. Stun at what you now looked like.
But it was look in both Lion-O and Tygra's eyes that would have made you wept. Not wanting to waste any time you jump down from the stage, as you hurry and try to meet up with them. Lion-O and Tygra hurry to fight their way to you.
"I don't think sooo!"The Conquedor yells at you in anger, he takes out something. Pressing the button, which sends a huge electric shock through your body. Making you stop in your tracks as you fall down on the ground. Not moving.
Lion-O and Tygra watch you fall, their anger was shown on their face. They would have charged in, if Cheetara did not call to them. Seeing they would be out number, they turn and retreat. As they look back to see the group gather around you. One of the giantors pick you up and carry you back.
You got thrown into your cell, only this time to have hot water thrown on you to wake you, which you screamed to in pain. The door to your cell closed, as you look up at the Conquedor.
"Your my gold ticket. I am not letting you. Because of your little friends I lost my profit."with that he presses that button that shocks you, you fall over not moving."...You think you can do anything? I will kill your friends infront of you. And take everyone little Berbil as my own and sell. And you will just sit there and watch till, it's your turn."He pressed the button again but this time longer. To where you blacked out.
Your body got jerked around, you slam hard on the wall. Waking you up, as you see and feel as the tank tumbled. It finally stops, you pick yourself up, you noticed that the power was damaged, which you take advantage of. You start to push the door open to your cell, it was hard at first. But you did so anyway. Once you got it open, you waste no time to get out of the tank, as you try to keep your balance.
Your head was throbbing, you could have sworn that you heard someone calling your name. You felt and smelt the cold fresh night air. Your body tired, but you pull through, as you reach outside. Your vision was starting to get blurry, as you hear that voice calling your name.
Before you knew it you lose your energy, as you legs get weak. Someone caught you as you fell. They look at you in their arms. So much pain was in their eyes as they look at you, they where hurting inside from all you had just been through and how you looked now, with your hair now cut off.
The morning light came in, as it landed on you. You started to wake up slowly. As you did you look around and realize that you where not in the Conquedor's tank. But in colorful room. Laying down in a bed.
You sit up slowly, only to grab arm in pain."You are up."a berbil says, you look to see it was Bella. She was carrying a tray of new bandages. Before you could say anything, she leaves the room.
Throwing the covers back, you hurry to get out of bed, to only get a pain shot up from your left leg. You grab it, but pay no mind. Pushing yourself up, you make outside, wobbling. You where back in the Berbils village. Just as you where about take another step only to fall from the pain.
"Careful."Cheetara catches you.
You look to see her, she smiles at you. As she helps you stand up."Lets get you back inside."she tells you leading you back inside, as she sets you down on the bed.
The others come running in. Tygra and Lion-O where breathing in and out hard. The twins push their way through to get to you, as they run and hug you tightly. Burying their face in you, you could feel their wet tears going down your skin. Amun and Snarf come over. Bil was in the room as well with Panthro.
"Zahra, how do you feel?"Lion-O asked you.
You where looking down at the twins, with a warm smile, as you give them caring hug. It was quiet in the room. Everyone waited for you to say something.
"...I...I'm sorry."you tell everyone which caught them off guard even the twins look up at you a bit confused.
"What?"Cheetara looks at you confused as well.
"I'm sorry, that I caused such a delay in finding the stones."you tell them, they look at you. You kept a straight face, but by the way you gripped the twins your hands where shaking a bit. You swallow hard."And I'm sorry you two. I did not mean to make you both worry so much. I did not mean to scare you both. Please forgive me, everyone."You tell them as you look at them.
No one knew what to say, you look back down at the twins.
It did not take long for you guys to leave. After Panthro fixed some more on the Thundertank, and a bit of food was supplied to you guys. Everything was ready to go.
The Berbils came to say their good-byes, as well thank everyone. Boobo came over to you, with your folded up cape. Which you take back from him.
With that everyone climbs into the Thundertank, but you.
"Zahra, aren't you coming in?"WilyKat asked, looking at you worried.
Everyone else does, you just smile at him. As you make it to the front. You climb up there."No."you tell him.
Everyone just looked at you, they all where worried about you. Panthro looks at you sitting in the passenger's seat. He starts up the tank, as he takes off.
It was quiet inside the tank, and outside with you Panthro. You looked away from him, at what was going by. You could feel the wind on your face, but that was all. You grip onto your cape. Which you put on.
Inside the tank, Panthro's face comes up on the screen, everyone looks at him.
"...She flew off."he tells them.
"What?"WilyKit
"Don't worry she just a few feet infront of us. But, she ain't taking this well at all. Something tells me, it might be a sunny day. But the rain clouds just rolled in."he tells them, with that he disconnects from them. He looks up at you.
With you, it was true to what Panthro said. It was a clear day, but right the rain clouds where over you.
