Chapter 34
"You do know the danger of what you propose don't you?" Whizz-Ra asked unsure of the litah's plan.
"Danger is my middle name. Besides what have we got to lose? Mumm-Rana already threatened to haunt my children for all eternity and if we don't get those Lunatacs out of here, there won't be an eternity," Sahara pointed out.
"Sahara I…" her mother started but Whizz-Ra stopped her.
"Your daughter is as beautiful and as smart as you are Cheetara. The power she possesses will help her with this task. My only fear is that once you open the door, you may not be able to shut it," the wizard explained.
"The guy hits on my wife and my daughter and I want to kill him but I don't think that would be wise," Lion-O whispered to Ben-Gali.
"Not just yet, let's get rid of the Lunatacs first," the white tiger chuckled.
"I just received word from the reinforcements from Third Earth! They are attacking the remaining Lunatac ships but they are severely outnumbered," Panthro hopped out of the ThunderTank and rushed up to the group, spilling the news.
"Get the troops into the ships. We have to help them and besides Sahara's plan requires we be in space," Lion-O ordered. The panther nodded and hopped back into the Tank, rounding up Thunderians as he went. The group quickly headed toward the Lair and scrounged for any space-worthy ships that remained. Finding one, they boarded and Whizz-Ra instructed his army to remain behind and guard the Lair should anything get through their defenses.
"Those are some scary baddies you have there Whizz-Ra," Tyler said as the ship made for the atmosphere.
"Those baddies as you call them are not mine all the time. They remain dormant until the Great God Anubis wakes them. He knew Mumm-Rana was coming and released them into my custody. They never sleep, they never eat, and they do not stop," the wizard explained.
"Why would Anubis not come himself?" Tyler wanted to know.
"The Great God is not a meddler. He helps transition souls to the afterlife and you've been keeping him busy today," Whizz-Ra gave him a wink.
"Then let us hope the blood shed ends now," Sahara said as she left her seat and headed toward the hanger that would be opened for her to attempt her plan. Tyler grabbed her arm, pulled her into his lap, and kissed her soundly.
"You be careful. I don't want to have to tell the cubs you're not coming home," he said.
"I'll do my best. I love you," she smiled slightly.
"I love you," he said, reluctantly letting her go. Whizz-Ra nodded to the young cat and followed her.
"You have little ones of your own now?" He asked as the litah put on her space suit.
"I do. Kaylee and Adohi; they are the most adorable cubs and I wish I could have stayed with them but duty calls and the best way to protect them is to save everyone," Sahara said as he too donned a suit.
"You had to grow up fast, young one. Do not worry with the Sword and Mumm-Rana, you can do what you need to," the Egyptian reassured her.
"I certainly hope so because I really need Mumm-Rana out of my head," she laughed and put on the helmet. Then she closed the airlock and pressed the hanger bay door button, as the door's opened the vacuum of space threatened to suck them out but the harnesses built into the suits held firm.
"Sword of Omens combine your power with Mumm-Rana's power!" She commanded. The Sword roared and Sahara could hear Mumm-Rana chanting an ancient spell. A blast of energy shot forth from the Sword miles into space and Whizz-Ra quickly cast a spell to collect the energy in one spot. If they could hold on long enough the massive building energy would only need to collide with a star creating an explosion that would in turn create a black hole. It wasn't exactly the same thing as the Venusians had used all those light centuries ago but it would remove the Lunatacs from the galaxy propelling them to another galaxy with no way to come back.
"Ready?" Sahara asked. Whizz-Ra nodded and used his powers to collect a star. Pushing it toward the massive ball of energy, the star began collecting the energy until it grew to large and imploded.
