Chapter 12
Cheetara left her husband's side and raced into the control room. There WilyKit was manning the controls.
"What's going on?" The Queen demanded.
"Unidentified bogey at twelve o'clock. They've not responded to any of my calls. I've alerted everyone," Kit explained pointing to the screen.
"Where is Leo?" The cheetah asked.
"I don't know," the young cat shrugged her shoulders. Suddenly the door opened and in raced Sahara, the Sword in her hands. Both Kit and Cheetara turned around to see the intruder and froze. Not only had the litah's hands suddenly and completely healed themselves but she stood there with her brother's weapon in her hands.
"Lunatacs!" She shouted at them. Kit whirled the chair around and increased the magnification. The ship was still out of weapons range but it was close enough to get a better look at it.
"The ship has Plundarrian symbols on it but I can't make it out," she said. She reached over and spoke into the Comms.
"Lucius to the control room stat!" Cheetara turned to her daughter.
"You need to find your brother and quickly. Then you get back into the med bay is that understood?" The Queen asked.
"But…"
"But nothing! I'll not have you endanger your life and your father's at the same time. Do as I ask," Cheetara ordered. Sahara nodded and quickly left the room.
"I heard the alarm. What's going on?" Lucius asked as he entered the control room.
"Can you read those symbols on the ship?" The Queen wanted to know. Quickly the lizard put his face up close to the screen and looked at the symbols.
"Moons of Plundarr," he murmured.
"That can't be good," Kit swallowed.
"Lunatacs!" He confirmed what Sahara had said earlier. Cheetara planted her hand on the Comms button and gave her orders over the system.
"Man your battle stations! We have Lunatacs entering our atmosphere. Defend this planet with your lives. For the Code of Thundera!" From inside you could hear the shouts outside, FortheCodeofThundera!
"Where would you like me, Your Majesty?" Lucius turned to her, full prepared to go into battle despite having retired.
"I need you to make sure my daughter doesn't get any ideas. Until we can regulate Lion-O's heartbeat, nothing can happen to her. I know it might not make much sense that I'm asking you to do this but we need both of them healthy," the cheetah said.
"As you wish," the reptile nodded and quickly headed for the med bay. It was then that Leo ran into the control room and looked at his mother.
"I'm glad you found your sister. It is your time to lead my son," Cheetara told him. There was a look of doubt on his face but Leo replied,
"I'll do my best."
"I know you will. Be careful and know that I love you," she said as she pulled him into a hug before racing down to the field where she would be needed. Kit gave him a nod and Leo followed after.
