Welcome back, gang. As you've told from my previous stories, I'm not that good at action. The action scenes I write aren't bad but they aren't good either, so don't expect anything great here. Enjoy.
Deep in the Tomb
The monkeys were scattered around the burial chamber. Looking for treasure. The little treasure they could find wasn't even treasure at all just a scroll with writing on it. Furiously, one of the monkeys tore the scroll to pieces.
As Sothap, Tygra and Cheetara watched this, it was the evabon who was the angriest. Watching these thieves, Sothap clenched his fists. The closest of them was only a foot away and they didn't even see them in the entrance to the burial chamber, to preoccupied with searching it.
Sothap stretched out a hand and grabbed the nearest monkey by the neck. Tygra and Cheetara starred in horror as in a few seconds the monkey had become a limp thing in the evabon's grip. Sothap gave them a look that said 'This is the only way.' Tygra and Cheetara both starred at the dead monkey in Sothap's grip. This couldn't have been the only way.
Within seconds, Sothap entered the burial chamber, brutally attacking the thieves. Tygra and Cheetara watched in horror as it wasn't Sothap that was being beaten but the monkeys. While Sothap quickly dispatched the monkeys, he took great care not to touch the body of Marcius. When it was all over the two ThunderCats walked into the burial chamber, shocked at the broken bodies of the monkeys.
"You're sure this is the only way?" Tygra starred at one of the bodies. The face looked less monkey-like. Sothap had punched the face so hard to the point it more resembled a lizard than a monkey.
"It is the only way I know." Tygra thought for a moment. Could his own people have been any different from this before the fall of Thundera? It just didn't seem possible but the more he saw of Third Earth the more he thought about how Thundera's people could have been like that.
"What about their families?" Cheetara's question caused Sothap to raise an eyebrow.
"What about them?" Tygra and Cheetara were both shocked by this answer. How could Sothap be so heartless? "Family isn't something to be loved. Look at Leir, betrayed by his two elder sons and the entire run the entire family was destroyed. I was doing these thieves a favor. One's worst enemy is their own family, the story of Leir is an indication of that." Tygra and Cheetara had no idea what Sothap was talking about but both thought that Sothap didn't remember the tale very well. Tygra and Cheetara's eyes then looked past Sothap. Sothap followed their gazes and gasped at the sight before him. "Marcius…"
