Chapter 6: Can You Feel The Love Tonight
"Cheetara, what are you going to wear to Snarf Egbert's wedding anniversary party?" I ask from behind the closed door. The cheetah mumbles to herself before opening the door. "I don't know. I don't really own many dresses." She says as we walk into her room then up to her wardrobe. I look through the dresses, and she tells me why she rarely wears them:
"Too big."
"Too loose."
"Topaz isn't my colour."
"Too light."
"FAR too informal!"
"I don't like beige clothes. It's the colour of my fur. It blends in, making me look as if I'm not wearing anything."
"As a rule, I don't wear primrose, violet, emerald green or amethyst."
A red dress catches my attention. I take it off of the hanger as I say "What about this? I'd say that ruby red is your colour."
"That was my mother's. She gave it to me when I was a cub...before she passed away. I hope it still fits." she says as she takes the silk dress from my arms. I walk out of the room to let her get changed in private, then back into my sleeping chamber, where an obsidian-black suit is lain out on my bed. I've never worn anything so formal in my life.
I slip off my traditional uniform then pull on the trousers and the snowy-white shirt. I look at myself in the mirror as I slip the jacket on. Is that really my reflection? I can barely recognize myself. Then, I notice the green tie still lying on my bed.
Oh, well. Might as well complete the look. I tie it around my neck under the collar of the shirt, then sit on my bed and slip the shoes on.
I open the door then walk back to Cheetara's room. I knock on her door and say "Cheetara, you ready yet?"
"Come in and find out!"
I open the door and stop dead in my tracks. I'm simply overcome by her beauty. She's gone to the effort of curling her long, golden mane. A pair of sapphire earrings hang from her earlobes. "Oh, Cheetara! You look beautiful." I say softly, unable to take my eyes off of her.
"Really? I haven't overdone myself?" she asks softly.
"No. You look stunning. Truly stunning." I say as I walk up to her. A sweet scent catches my nose, and I realize that Cheetara is wearing perfume.
"But, the finishing touch." I say as I walk over to her dressing table and pick up a golden, sapphire and jade necklace then walk up to her. I slip it around her neck then do the clasp up.
"Anyway, where did you go earlier? After we delivered the supplies to the Thunderians, you disappeared for a few hours."
I laugh then say "That's for me to know and for you to find out!"
What I'm not telling her is that I went to buy an engagement ring. It'd taken me hours because there was such a wide variety. I'd eventually settled on a 19 carat gold ring studded with a diamond. All I want is for her to be my wife. Best thing to do would be to do it in a quiet area at the party.
I slip my arms over her shoulders and close my eyes, dreamily breathing in the scent of her mane and perfume. I start purring, even though I don't mean to. She "Lion-O! Lion-O! Reow! Where are you?" I groan as I hear Snarf calling me. "What do you want, Snarf?" I reply. "It's time to leave for the Valley of the Snarfs. Are you and Cheetara ready?" Cheetara affectionately rubs her hand against my cheek then says, her voice as sweet as honey "We're ready, Snarf! Well, we'd better go then Lion-O." She loosens her grip on my hand and walks out, her red heels flashing beneath the hem of her dress. I hurry after her and we walk down the stairs together.
As we sit in the Thundertank, Cheetara sits next to me, but she says nothing for the whole journey. By the time we get to the Valley of the Snarfs, the sun is low in the sky, casting a golden glow over the grass and rivers. There are many candles in jars hung up on strings everywhere, and dance music is blasting throughout the village. Snarf and Snarfer lead the way to the house where the party is being held. As soon as I walk through the doors, the blaring music combined with the neon lights makes me feel a little dizzy. I know that we lions are deemed as being sociable, but I don't like crowds.
I look around then spot Wilykit and Wilykat, who are sneaking towards one of the tables. Before they can go any further, I gently grab the collars of their shirts and say "Don't you even think about drinking even a drop of anything alcoholic. I know that it was my fault because I let you have some of that wine whilst Cheetara wasn't watching, but you're still underage. And make sure you behave yourselves, or you'll be in serious trouble and will find yourselves grounded." They squirm uncomfortably and Wilykit says "Leave off, Lion-O! We'll behave ourselves! And we'll stay away from the alcohol, unlike last time. We promise!" She nudges Wilykat and he says "Yeah. We will." I say "Good," they continue squirming so I hiss into their ears "Now remember, behave yourselves. Don't go shoving Snarf's face in his slice of cake like you did last year, or hiding in the pantry then jumping out at me. You nearly gave me a heart attack last time. And be polite to the other guests!" They groan and cry "WE KNOW! Can we go now?" I let go of their shirts and they go running off.
I walk straight past the crowd of people, and into the large garden. I look up at the sky and watch the stars. I can see all of the different constellations; Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Cancer, Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, and Sagittarius. I'm a Scorpio. A shooting star rushes by overhead, catching my attention. Then, I turn around and see Cheetara. She looks so beautiful in the fiery light of the setting sun. We stand together by a pond. Golden fish swim around, nibbling at pondweed and jumping in and out of the water.
She sighs in a relaxed manner as I look at her. "Hey," I say "Are you thirsty? Do you want anything to eat or to drink? I will be getting the food first, though."
She purrs gently and says "Red wine will be fine for me. I'm not really that hungry." I turn and walk across the garden and into the house. I edge past people towards the drinks table.
I frown as I spot Wilykit and Wilykat who are secretly pouring what looks like white wine into their Styrofoam cups. I sneak up behind them and say "Don't you even think about it!"
They both jump and cry "We weren't doing anything, Lion-O!"
I scowl fiercely at them then say "I saw you! Don't lie to me!"
Wilykit glares daggers at me as I firmly lead them away and says "Jeez, Lion-O. You seem to forget that we were once the same age, but then you turned into an adult and you weren't any fun anymore."
I just ignore their comments and put them in chairs, next to Bengali and Pumyra. "You might want to watch over these two. I just caught them over by the alcohol." I say, then I turn and walk back to the table.
I carefully some pour red wine into two plastic glasses and walk towards the back door. I see Cheetara talking to a white lioness. I walk towards them. "Lion-O! Reow! Wait for me!" I look down and see Snarf Egbert running after me. "Having a nice time so far, Lion-O?" he asks as we walk towards the gazebo. I reply "I am. What makes it better is that neither Mumm-ra, the Mutants nor the Lunataks have shown up to spoil the fun."
- (BORDER) -
I laugh softly as I talk to the lioness. Her name is Lucy. She can't be older than 22. "And what was even funnier was that Lion-O has no memory of what happened to him that day! He can't remember that he was transformed to a child!" I say. "Speaking of that, where is the Lord of the Thundercats?" Lucy asks. I sigh and reply "He went to get some drinks, but he's been a while. He might have forgotten, or he's being held up by some people who wanted to talk to him. I'd better go and see what he's up to." I get up and Lucy says "Cheetara, do you have feelings for him?" Still walking along and not looking where I'm going, I turn my head to face her and say "What?"
Suddenly, I feel a cold liquid splash all down my front. "What the..." I cry as I look up, right at Lion-O, who is carrying two plastic glasses of red wine. His cheeks are flushing red with embarrassment. "Cheetara...oh my god! I'm so, so sorry!" he says as he hastily passes me a wad of paper napkins. I wipe the front of my dress with the napkins and say "It's ok, Lion-O. I wasn't looking where I was going." He nervously replies "I wasn't either." I hear Lucy cough and I turn round to face her. "I'll leave you two to mingle, then." she says, then she grabs her cocktail and hurries off.
"Cheetara," Lion-O says as I take the offered glass of red wine, which is still full "Can you follow me, a sec?" I follow him down a path that is surrounded by wild flowers and lit by ornate lamps. "Come on, just a little further!" he says as we come to the end of the garden. We aren't far from the house because I can still hear music, but it's faint. I see a bridge across a flowing lake. Lion-O stops halfway across it then says "Right, now that we're away from everyone, I can finally ask you what I want to." His eyes sparkle in the light of the full moon. He reaches behind him as he says "Cheetara..." He doesn't get a chance to say anything else because Snarf comes running over the bridge and stops in front of us. "Lion-O. Cheetara. You two can't just stand here and do nothing! C'mon! Everyone is waiting for you to dance together!" he says, then he takes us by the hands and pulls us back to the house.
- (BORDER) -
"Snarf, you know fully that I don't dance." I say as I look at Cheetara. "If we look stupid, we'll look stupid together!" she says. Snarf takes us in through the double doors then onto the dance floor. A crazy song starts playing and I start to back away. I feel a heavy hand settle on my shoulder and turn around to see Panthro. He laughs then says "We've all had our turn! It's your turn now!" I gulp, then walk out into the dance floor. I can't dance. I've always been awful at it. I take Cheetara's hand, then the music really starts up.
By the end of it, I'm completely exhausted. I walk out into the garden to cool off. Cheetara follows me. We go into the gazebo again, with another glass of red wine each. Cheetara slowly edges her way towards me, then she slants her lips against mine in a passionate embrace that takes my breath away. I utter a guttural growl as I kiss her back. "You know Lio," she says as she fingers my green tie "Green goes really well with your red mane! You should wear green more often!" I go to kiss her again, but I can hear engines, and what makes me worried is that they're the engines of a mutant Skycutter and Vultureman's flying machine.
"Shit!" I swear, then I run out into the open garden. Almost instantly, I'm shot at by Monkian. I jump out of the way with just seconds to spare as the ground where I once stood is engulfed in flames. "Cheetara! Run!" I shout as she races to cover. "I'm trying! I'm in high-heels! It's not easy!" she shouts over the screams of the other guests. I hear Monkian gibber excitedly then say "I have located Lion-O! I'm going in for another attack!" I stand still and close my eyes as I see the Skycutter flying towards me. I take a deep breath in then out, and open my eyes. I rip the Sword of Omens from the claw shield then leap at the craft as it speeds towards me. I kick Monkian straight in the face with the heels of my shoes. He screams as his nose erupts in a spray of blood.
I pierce the fuel tank with the sword at such an angle that it begins to spray into Monkian's face. Then, I drag the sword down the body, splitting the craft in half. I land perfectly on my hands and feet, but Monkian lands ungracefully on his front, dazed but still alive. "Everyone! Run!" I shout "Get out of the house as quickly as you can!"
We lead the guests away, but most have run into the thick jungle. Cheetara doesn't leave my side as we run for the thick trees at the edge of the garden. I leap the fence and help her over, then we continue running. "Cheetara," I say "Find the guests and get them out! I'll fight off the mutants!"
I run around the outside of the jungle and see Jackalman at the controls of the other Skycutter, and Slithe at the controls of the Nosediver.
"Slithe! Jackalman! Over here!" I shout as loud as I can whilst standing still so that they'd see me. They do, then they begin to rush towards me. I know that I need to lead them away from the others, so I begin to head into the thick undergrowth. I hear engines getting closer, and I drop to the ground with seconds to spare as Vultureman's flying machine swoops down, the talons on the landing gear narrowly missing my head by inches. I get up again and run further as Vultureman comes round for another attack. I duck again, but not soon enough. He grabs me by my mane and back of my shirt, then lifts me clean off of the ground and into the air as the plane climbs. "I've got him!" I hear Vultureman caw excitedly.
"Don't count on it!" I snarl, then I sink my fangs into his wrist, shaking his arm in a rapid frenzy. He screams and lets go of me; I start to fall. I hit the landing gear and try to hold on, but I can't. Time seems to stand still as the wind whips through my mane. I'm gonna die. I'm going to hit the floor and the shock of the impact is going to kill me. But, I suddenly stop. I look up and see Jackalman. "Say goodbye to life, Lion-O!" he cackles as he picks up his axe. He raises it above his head, which leaves the controls open. I quickly reach for them, and push them forwards. We both scream as the Skycutter viciously judders, does a barrel roll, then sharply dives towards the ground. "Lion-O! What the fuck have you done to the controls? They're jammed!" Jackalman shouts as he struggles with the control stick. I fight to keep a hold on the Skycutter, but my claws can't grip the metal. I slip straight off of the wing, and drop like a rock. The wind blows my mane into my face as I fall. I can see the thick growth of trees rushing up to meet me. If I don't get this right, I'll die. I grab a vine, and use it to land on the ground.
"Jackalman! Vultureman! Kill him! Somebody kill him!" I hear Slithe shout. I run for an opening in the thick plants. I can hear the Nosediver rapidly approaching. I grab a vine and begin to climb it, but I start to feel hot. I look down and see that Slithe is setting fire to everything below me. Ha! He's never learned. Cats are smarter than snakes. I push against the trunk of a tree as hard as I can and I swing over the fire. Howether, I suddenly slip and find myself flying through the air. I look down and see that the fire is rapidly spreading. "There's no escape for you that way, Lion-O!" Slithe shouts. I can see what he means. A large tree is in my way. I dig my claws into the bark and begin to climb it. Vultureman begins to hack at the thick branches with the talons of his flying machine. If he gets me with the talons, I'm dead!
"We've got you now, Lion-O!" Vultureman caws excitedly. I sigh, then do one of the most dangerous things I've ever done. I let go of the trunk and push away, flying backwards into open air. I hear laser bolts passing by me, but they miss. Suddenly, I hear a familiar engine. The Thundertank! Then, I realize that I'm still in midair, and falling rapidly. I scream as the jungle canopy gets closer, but I see Wilykit and Wilykat flying towards me on their Spaceboards. Wilykat jumps behind Wilykit and I land on his without slipping. "We figured that you'd need help, so here we all are!" he says as I accelerate the speed towards the ground. I land, but it's what I'd call a crash landing compared to all the other times that I've rode these. Cheetara runs towards me with her heels in her hand. "We saw you falling so we decided that you needed help," she says "The guests are all rounded up and out front. It was us that the mutants were after..." she doesn't get a chance to finish because the ground behind us explodes. In blind panic, I run forwards. I look back over my shoulder at Cheetara as she runs after me. As I turn round to look at where I'm going, pain explodes throughout my body and everything goes black...
I open my eyes. My head is as sore as my vision is blurry. "What happened?" I say in a small voice. I hear Pumyra say "Slithe hit you around the head with a large, heavy wooden club. Don't try to move though. You have a concussion and you inhaled a fair amount of smoke. Plus, you've got a massive gash on your forehead."
My vision clears and I see that I'm lying in my bed. The curtains are drawn, flooding the room with bright light. Pumyra is gently pressing a bag of crushed ice against my head. Everything hurts really badly. I try to sit up, but Pumyra gently pushes me back down. "You have to stay in bed, Lion-O. I know you might not want to, but there's a chance that you could pass out if you get up." she says. "How long have I been unconscious?" I ask nervously. "You've slept like a cub all night." she replies. I sigh and swing my legs out of bed. "Lion-O! You can't get up!" Pumyra says as she begins to walk round the bed. "Try and stop me!" I snarl. I stand up, then I instantly feel light headed. My vision blurs again, then everything goes black again.
I wake up, and I feel so confused. I'm not in my room anymore; I'm in the infirmary. I lift my head and take in my surroundings. The clock on the wall says 9:30pm, Saturday 30th November. I've been unconscious for another day? I see Pumyra talking to Cheetara. "I had to dose him with a strong sedative because he was going mental. He just turned aggressive on me without a second's warning. He collapsed and I rushed to get him back into bed, but he seemed to wake up, then he attacked me once I touched him." I hear her say. I try to move my arms, but I can't. I look down and see the restraints around my wrists and ankles. They both turn to look at me and I see the claw marks and bites that cover Pumyra's arms and legs, with a bruise on her right shin. Did I really do that to her? I can't remember attacking her.
The fur along my shoulders and back stands on end as Cheetara starts to walk towards me. I snarl and utter a guttural growl in warning. Pumyra puts a hand on Cheetara's shoulder and says "Don't get any closer to him...whilst he's like that."
"He should calm down in a minute. He's just a little dazed." Pumyra says as I growl harder. Cheetara looks rather worried. She must have panicked when I got knocked unconscious. She slowly walks towards me. I stop growling and just watch her. There's no way that I'd ever lay a single claw on her. She reaches for the restraints and unties them. I don't move whatsoever. "I think that the minute was actually 30 seconds." she says, then she walks away from me.
I'm dismissed from the infirmary later on. As I walk along the corridor to the council chamber, I think about the party, the kiss. Had it actually meant something, or was Cheetara just being kind? The door opens and I walk in then sit in my seat. "So, you're finally back with us, then?" Bengali says. I rub my right arm and reply "After three days, or so what I've heard." He laughs then Tygra and Panthro look at each other. "Is there something wrong?" I ask nervously. "No. It's just the fact that you attacked Pumyra." Tygra says as Pumyra and Cheetara enter the room. "I've got absolutely no memory of it. I just collapsed, everything went black then I woke up in the infirmary. That's all I can remember." I say, rather confused and concerned about the incident. "But it doesn't matter," Pumyra says as she sits down "If Lion-O is back with us and is fully recovered, then that's all I'm thinking about at the moment."
Then, I remember why I came into the council chamber in the first place.
"Tygra, can I talk to you," I say "ALONE?"
He nods, and Cheetara, Pumyra, Bengali, Panthro, Snarf, Snarfer, Wilykit and Wilykat walk out of the door, leaving us to talk in private.
"What I want to say is that when we escaped from Castle Plun-darr, I actually realized that I love Cheetara. Not the childish crush or puppy love, but I actually have a strong feeling of attachment to her and I realized that she loves me back, so I chose to give something a go at the party," I say as I pull a little box out of my pocket and open it, revealing a beautiful diamond ring "But I don't quite know what to say to her. I'm scared that she'd hate me. I need your help. I can't do this on my own." Tygra looks at the ring and says "You were going to propose to her? Lion-O, you should have! She absolutely adores everything about you." Excited, I say "She does?" Tygra nods and replies "She couldn't stop talking about you when you were unconscious. She was so worried. Most of the time, she was in tears."
Tygra closes the box then hands it back to me as he says "You've both got so close after we escaped from Castle Plun-darr. She's been looking at you in such a way that can only be described as love. You should 'pop the question' tonight over a romantic dinner or something. She'll be delighted." I sigh as I take the box then ask "But what do I do? I'm not romantic. I never had a girlfriend. I know absolutely nothing about romance!" Tygra simply says "Give her flowers; she loves roses and orchids. Cook dinner for you and her, or we'll all go out to the fanciest restaurant in the city. However, if you want everything to be calm and smooth, I could get the cooks to prepare a delicious three course meal for you both." I smile and say "Just make everything like a normal day so that she doesn't suspect anything." Tygra nods and we walk out of the council chamber.
When we go into the dining room, I sit down in my chair along with the other Thundercats and I watch as Cheetara walks through the door then sits in her seat. She looks so beautiful. That golden mane. The black spots that randomly spread across her slender back and mane. Snarf carries bowls of delicious smelling food in and puts them on the table in front of us all; homemade soup and bread rolls. I'd usually stuff my face when it came to soup; table manners weren't something that I'd bother about as a cub, even though my father would rap me across the knuckles for it. It's wild pheasant and carrot, my favourite soup. I politely sip my soup off the spoon until the bowl is empty, then Snarf takes the bowls away. I stretch and lazily roar, my sharp fangs showing. Snarf carries in two plates of steaming treacle sponge pudding which he places down in front of everyone. I eat until I begin to feel sick. When Snarf offers me my fifth slice, I turn it down, feeling increasingly queasy.
I retreat to my room to freshen up. My stomach feels tight because of the sheer nervousness that I'm feeling. My fur stands on end down my arms and legs. I run my fingers through my thick mane. I think I look suitable. I walk out of the door and spot a vase of roses on a table. I casually walk past them, and towards the steps that lead to the mouth of the lair's head. I saw Cheetara walk up there earlier. I sigh nervously. I'm really about to do this.
- (BORDER) -
I stand alone in the mouth of the lair's head as I twirl a lock of my mane around my finger. I dreamily stare out at the bright lights of the city. The moon overhead gives all of the buildings a silvery glow and the swirling snow makes the scene picturesque.
"Beautiful night, isn't it?" I hear Lion-O say from behind me, making me jump slightly.
Laughing, I turn to face my young lord and say "Didn't I ever tell you not to sneak up on me, Lion-O? But, yes, it is a beautiful night tonight."
The young lion walks up to me and slips his arms around my shoulders. I look into his eyes and sigh. There's something about him that makes me want him to be mine. "Did anyone ever tell you how handsome you are in the moonlight?" I ask him softly. He smiles back at me with a look in his eyes that makes me want to melt. He's so hot.
"You're beautiful, Cheetara. Did anyone tell YOU that?" he whispers as he nuzzles my mane with his chin. I rest my cheek on his chest. That's when I heard a deep rumbling noise. Lion-O is purring!
"I love you Cheetara. Did you know that?" Lion-O whispers.
I laugh and say "I'd be a fool if I didn't know that," I look back at the stars "And you'd be a fool if you didn't know that I love you too." Lion-O laughs, his deep voice simply enchanting.
"In that case then," he says softly "I'm a complete idiot then. I hadn't the slightest idea." I look up as a bright streak in the sky catches my attention. "Hey, look! A shooting star! Quick Cheetara, make a wish!" I laugh at Lion-O but I still make a wish. I close my eyes. "I wish," I think to myself "That Lion-O will sometime show me exactly how much he loves me." I open my eyes.
"Cheetara,"
I turn around as Lion-O says my name and gasp at what I see; Lion-O gets down onto one knee then pulls a small velvety box from in the Claw Shield. He opens it, and I see a beautiful diamond ring.
"You have always been there for me throughout these past years. Ever since we woke up on Third Earth, I have realized how much I love you. When we kissed at that party, I could sense that you love me back. I have considered this for many weeks now, and I've meant to ask you this for ages, but I never could figure out how to word it, but I'm going to try it now. So, here it is. Cheetara, will you marry me?" he asks nervously.
Tears spill down my cheeks as I nod and say "Yes, I'd love to marry you Lion-O! More than anything in the world!" He slips the ring onto my finger and I throw myself into his arms. "We'll have to organise a wedding ceremony and everything! Oh, Cheetara! I was wishing with all my heart that you'd say yes!" he cries. We just stand there looking at each other for what seems like hours, then Lion-O eventually looks into my eyes and kisses me. The taste of his warm flesh is sweet, and the scent of his fur is soothing. "I love you. I love you, more than anything else in the world!" he growls passionately. I growl as I press myself into his warm, furry chest. After what seems like forever, I break away from him and run my fingers through his thick blood red mane.
Lion-O grins at me then says "We'd better go and tell everyone about it then, my love."
I smile at him then passionately kiss him again. "I agree."
Hand in hand, we walk down the stairs towards the council chamber. When we walk into the council chamber, everyone looks up at us. "We've got some big news." Lion-O says as he squeezes my hand.
"Snarf, Snarf! Reow, Mumm-ra's not on his way for another attack is he?" Snarf purrs anxiously as he sits up on his tail. Lion-O laughs then says "Far from it."
I kiss Lion-O on the cheek before saying "Lion-O proposed to me. We're engaged."
The reactions of my fellow Thundercats aren't surprising. Everyone crowds around us and congratulates us.
"Reow, I can't believe it!" Snarf says as he wipes the tears from his eyes "My boy's finally grown up!" He jumps up onto my shoulder as he continues "The wedding can be this Friday! I could cook a banquet for all of the guests!"
We celebrate by having wine. I look behind me as I sit in my seat; Tygra and Lion-O are speaking in a corner. I hear Tygra say "Well, turns out that you did have enough courage to propose then."
Lion-O simply replies "Yeah, but it wasn't easily done. I was so nervous, but it's finally done, and we're getting married."
- (BORDER) -
"Mumm-ra! MUMM-RA! Wake up, you decrepit mummy!"
I open my eyes as something pounds on the lid of my sarcophagus. The lid slowly moves aside as I growl "Why did you disturb my rest?"
"LOOK IN TO THE CAULDRON, MUMM-RA! THEN YOU WILL SEE THE REASON!"
I walk up to the cauldron, and a scene starts playing in the waters...
"BY ALL THE ANCIENTS! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" I roar as I watch Lion-O kneel before Cheetara with a small box in his hands, which he opens, revealing a diamond ring. "Ancient spirits of evil, be gone with this foul image!" I snarl as I watch the pair embracing and kissing.
"The wretched Thundercat Lion-O is getting married to Cheetara! You MUST put a stop to it! You must prevent the wedding before it happens this Friday! You MUST kill Lion-O!"
Next time on Thundercats:
The Cat's Lair is a hive of activity as the Thundercats prepare themselves for Lion-O and Cheetara's wedding. When the Mutants receive orders from Mumm-ra to abduct the young lord of the Thundercats, Lion-O falls into the hands of the ancient devil priest. Howether, he manages to escape, kindling a fresh feud between good and evil. Will the wedding go without a hitch, or will Lion-O and his loyal friends finally succumb to evil?
Find out in the next chapter of Thundercats: Wake Up!
