The Forbidden Zone, one of Third Earth's most treachous and destructive climates ever created. The Forbidden zone has poised swamps, mountain peaks that go on forever, along with wilting flowers and trees that grow deadly fruit for human consumption. If a single Third Earth citizen ever journeyed into this place of horrors they will never be seen again. This area is also home to a strange mountaim monument call three peaks. Three Peaks are three mountains whose mountain tops are the same height. It is also there that the evil lord Mumm-Ra encased a renegade band of warriors in molten lava.
These warriors were called The Lunataks from the Moons of Plun-Darr, giving each member a unique power from each moon. The first member of the group is called Chilla, she is a 30 year woman with frozen skin like ice. Her main powers comes from her hands and mouth. Her hands can send deadly beams of extreme cold that can instantly trap anyone in a block of ice. Her mouth, when she wants to use it can cause extreme blizzards which she can use to distract her enemies.
The second member of the group is called Tug-Mug he was white colored skin and his face is almost that of a clown. His hair is colored purple and is also trimmed to the form of a Mohawk. His body is mostly contained in a special armor used for walking or jumping in any strange planet's gravity. Tug-Mug comes from a moon that has gravity 20 to 30 times that of Earth's, making him an extremely dangerous person. His weapon is a gravity carbonerizer, which we can use to manipulate gravity around a specific place or thing.
The third member of the group is called Red-Eye, and his power is beyond everyone else's sight of vision. He comes from a moon that is completely dark with no light at all, forcing him to wear a special vision form of contact lens. These lenses allow him to see in any situation and beyond. His main weapon is disk which he keeps in his center chest. When he throw it, it can seek out any enemy and destroys them on contact also if the disc misses he can use his eyes to guide it back.
The fourth member is called Aluro, he is not as strong as the others but his power doesn't come from his strength. He has the power to manipulate the minds of others. His power comes from his staff, once he flings it at an enemy, the ball at the top fires an energy sphere trapping the target in a cone of pure energy. Once captured with the prison, Aluro starts to weaken the mind of his enemy. This was he doesn't have to get his hands dirty and brings them back in one piece.
The final two members of the group are Luna and Amok, Luna is a 30 year old woman trapped in the body of a 4 year girl. Amok is her own personal transportation. Amok is just as strong as any other member of the group, bit his loyalties are always to Luna. Luna used to have special powers, but they were taken away by a friend of the Thundercats long before they arrived on Third Earth.
The sun was high above the rocky terrain and the beams of light were hitting a strange object on the ground. It was a South American boy around 15 years old. The young man is wearing brownish shorts as well as a brownish jacket. His shirt has the Planeteer logo on the front covered by a necklace made out of beautiful feathers that was handcrafted from his own village. The young man didn't know much time has passed since the innocent by the Black Pyramid. He started to get up nursing a terrible headache.
The young boy started to look around wondering where he is and if knew were his friends were. The young boy started to raise his hand to his head hoping to concentrate on his friends. After a while he realized that somehow the connection that he had to all of his friends had been broken. He was alone an unsure of what to do.
With the sun so high and no shade to protect him, he knew that if he didn't find shelter soon he wouldn't make it out alive. He started to walk passed mountain after mountain trying to get his bearings. He also stopped near a forest hoping to get something to eat to keep his strength up, but was not prepared for what he saw next.
"My poor friend how could this have happened to you?" Ma-Ti thought as he saw a beautiful deer laying down looking completely sick from the watering hole.
After looking around some more, he saw a bunch of human and animal bones around the same area by the lake. "I have to find a way to contact the others or at least get out of this horrible place."
He then started to walk up to a mountain range the had three mountain peaks aligned up perfectly together. Realizing that may be a way out, he decided to head in that direction.
He was almost walking for an hour when he saw a strange object in the distance. As he was getting closer to the object, he managed to make out its shape. The object look like some sort of building that was somehow turned on its side. Upon further examination he discovered that there blast holes, as if something blew its self apart from the inside out.
The object that Ma-Ti has found was the Lunataks mobile flying Fortress called Sky Tomb. This base was powered by the same element that the Thundercats use to power their own vehicles and buildings, but Sky Tomb needed three to four times the amount for it to be 100 % operational. At the top of the building that is hitting the ground was the emblem of the group. Just like the Thundercats, the Lunataks emblem was a crescent moon.
Ma-Ti was thinking about going into the wreckage of the base to see if anything left was working inside. "There has to be some way to contact my friends. I need to know if they are save."
As Ma-Ti looked around he could find nothing salvageable to use, so he exited the base and continued walking trying to find a way out.
The sun was so hot that Ma-Ti took his jacket off and used it to cover his head. Whatever happens he didn't want to get a case of Sun stroke. He didn't know anything about this Planet's atmosphere and its vegetation. He sure was happy to use of the skills that the friend the Shaman had taught him all those years ago when he was a boy. He was trying to find a safe heaven to rest, but on this part of the planet, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Another hour has passed and Ma-Ti was starting to feel exhausted from all his walking, looking for a place to rest, he decided to sit on a rock that he saw sticking out of the ground but was unprepared for what happened next.
The rock that which he was sitting on started to move and started to rise up out of the ground. Ma-Ti was in shock as he saw that rock he was resting on started to rise and transform into a huge rock monster.
The monster was made of solid granite and was very angry as it started to rise. Looking down at Ma-Ti the monster thought it was a something good to eat and decided to try and grab him. As the monster came down with his arm and hand, Ma-Ti just barley got out of the way in time.
"Sorry my friend, but I don't think that I would be very good for you." Ma-Ti said while he continued to avoid the giant's arms and hands.
The giant stared to think ahead, blocking off Ma-Ti's exit and was about to finally grab him. Just when Ma-Ti thought he has lost all hope, he heard a bunch of strange sounds coming from the air and ground. He turned around and saw that three vehicles of some kind coming right at him. Ma-Ti didn't know if they were friend or foe but at this point he didn't really care. While he was trying to figure it out, the monster had just about snatched Ma-Ti up in its giant hand. A moment before the giant finally had a chance to grab him a laser blast from the ground unit destroyed the hand and the creature began to wallow in pain.
As Ma-Ti watched all three of the machines were now attacking and destroying the monster until there was nothing left but pebbles. The Planeteer couldn't believe his luck, as he thought he was being rescued, that is until he saw one of the pilots coming right at him.
It was Sly Sludge flying what looked like an alien aircraft of some sort. "Hey Blight" He said into the radio. "What do you want me to do with that little Planet pPunk down there?"
"What do you think fool, fire the stun beams at him." Dr. Blight responded through the radio.
With that command, Sludge started to fire some strange orange beams of energy at Ma-Ti.
Not knowing what those beams were or what they would do to him , Ma-Ti started to run as fast has he could. But he was so exhausted he didn't notice another orange beam hitting him from behind and knocking him out.
"Now we've got the little pest." Nukem said as he was climbing out of the Nose Diver.
As he was approaching the young Planeteer, Blight and Sludge also landed their crafts on the opposite side of the fallen Planeteer.
"We have to finish him off now before the others get here. My radiation should finish him off." Nukem said as we was getting to douse the boy with a blast of deadly radiation to kill him.
"Do it now Nukem we can't waste any more time." Sludge said as Nukem was about to fire.
Just then another engine sound appeared in the sky and the Eco-villains didn't like that sound at all. "Its them, they found us!" Blight shouted as she saw the Thunderstrike come barreling right at them. "Quickly you fool, blast him!"
Inside the Thunderstrike, Lynx-O's piloting skills were very impressive as he took the plane down to try and stop Nukem from attacking Ma-Ti. "Linka are the new weapon systems ready? "Lynx-O asked as he got the aircraft within firing range.
"Da, I hope so." Linka answered still feeling a little unsure about the modifications the she made before.
"Linka trust yourself, we do." Pumyra said hoping to lift Linka's Spirits.
"Spasibo," Linka replied.
"I'm bringing the weapons online now." Bengali say as he pushed a few buttons.
"We have to hurry, it looks like Nukem is about to fire on your friend there." Pumyra said as they got closer.
"Firing weapons now." Lynx-O said as he fired a white laser beam down at Nukem.
Nukem was about to fire his beams at Ma-Ti until he himself was hit by a strange white beam. "Ow! What was that."? He said as he looked up.
"It's the Thundercats firing a new energy beam weapon at us." Sludge said as he saw the impact. "We've got to get out of here."
"We're not going anywhere until this Planet pest is dead." Nukem said as he was about to fire beams at Ma-Ti again.
"STOP YOU FOOL!" Blight shouted as she saw energy starting to emerge from Nukems hands.
"WHY SHOULD I!" Nukem responded sounding angry.
"It would take too long for your energy to recovery if you kill him. I'll take care of the Planet Pest." Dr. Blight said as she drew and fired an energy pistol at him, making Ma-Ti cry out in pain. "Now we can go. Let the Planet pests worry about saving their friend. By the time they are done we'll be far enough away."
After seeing Ma-Ti cry out in pain and then pass out, the Eco-Villains climbed back onto their vehicles and left the area.
While in the Thunderstrike hoping to save Ma-Ti Linka saw what Blight did to him before they all started. "LYNX-O, MA-TI'S BEEN HURT WE HAVE TO TRY AND HELP HIM NOW!" Linka said while still in shock.
"We are landing right now my friends, Pumyra get the medical kit and hurry." Lynx-O said while the Thunderstrike started to land right in front of Ma-Ti.
As the Thunderstrike landed, Linka and Kwami jumped right out of the Thunderstrike's smaller unit and headed right for their injured friend with Pumyra and Bengali not far behind.
"Ma-Ti can you hear us? "Kwami said hoping that Ma-Ti would respond.
"MA-IT!" Kwami said again with no response.
"Quickly you two get away from him so we can work." Bengali said as he and Pumyra just arrived on the scene.
"Pumyra, check his life signs and hurry. I'll check the impact mark." Bengail said as Pumyra took out a strang looking device.
The machine started to make noises as Pumyra hovered it above Ma-Ti. "His blood pressure is falling and his life signs are getting weaker."
"We've got to try and stabilize him." Bengali said as he reached into the medical case and brought out some strange viles of medicine. Then he looked over at Linka still trying to hold herself together. "Kwami get her out of here so we can work on saving his life."
"Ok Bengali. Come on Linka." Kwami said as he tried to move her away.
"NYET! I AM NOT GOING ANYWARE KWAMI." Linka said while she was beginning to panic. "I AM GOING TO HELP THEM WEATHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT."
"Linka calm down, I know you want to help, but Pumyra and Bengali both know what they are doing and we would just be in the way. You have to be strong for Ma-Ti."
Linka is still in a panic and just can't seem to hold herself together." KWAMI, WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM. HE IS ONE OF US. I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE HIM NOT LIKE THIS AND ON AN ALIEN WORLD!" Linka shouted almost at the point of no return.
Kwami then grabbed her and pulled her into a hug to try and calm her down." Take it easy my friend , you have to brave. Ma-Ti is a strong fighter. He will not let this get the better of him at all." Kwami said as he saw that Linka was starting to calm down.
"Ok Kwami, I will try to keep it together." Linka said while there were still a few tears in her eyes.
Just then Lynx-O came over to see how Bengali and Pumyra were doing. "How is he any change?"
"I've think we found the problem." Pumyra said as she was finishing up the medical scan. "He took a direct blast on his right lung and it is causing him to loose oxygen and blood pressure."
"I think I might be able to reverse the damage but I need somebody to try and talk to him while I make the attempt." Bengali said while he was working on with some vilies that he had taken out of the case to save Ma-Ti's life.
'I'll do it. "Pumyra said as she put the scanner away. "Ma-Ti, now I need you to listen to me. You've been shot and your having trouble breathing. You have to hang on, your friends Linka and Kwami are here and they need you to come back to them. You have to keep fighting to stay with us. What ever you do, just don't give up." She said as she saw Bengali making the last few adjustments.
"This had better work." Bengali said as he took a medical needle with one of the strange viles in it and injected it into his chest. "Now all can we do is wait and hope that it works."
Linka and Kwami started to walk back over to see what Bengali and Pumyra were doing.
" Is he going to be alright?" Linka questioned still looking worried.
"I honestly don't know. Pumyra what do the scans say?" Bengali asked as Pumyra started to run another scan of Ma-Ti's body.
After a few moments, Pumyra started to speak. "His blood pressure is starting to rise and it looks like the damage done to his lung as already started to heal." Pumyra stated with great joy in her voice.
"That's good news my friends well done." Lynx-O said as he knelled down to put both his hands on his friends shoulders.
"I'm just glad that I took that medical course on Thundera while I was still running a blacksmith's shop." Bengali stated.
A few moments later Ma-Ti's eyes started to open still looking a little flushed after the events that have just happened. "What happened to me my friends?" He said hoping to see his fellow Planeteers but instead saw the Thundercats and his friends behind them.
"AAAAHHHHHHH" Ma-Ti started to scream after seeing the Thundercats.
"Well it looks like he is going to make a full recovery everyone." Bengali said as everyone started to laugh except Ma-Ti.
"Would some one mind telling me what is going on around here?" Ma-Ti said still not sure of what was happening.
"It's a long story my friend." Kwami started to say as he bent down to help Ma-Ti up. "We'll explain it to you on the way back to the Lair."
"The Lair?" Ma-Ti asked.
"Like your friend said, this is gonna be a long story." Lynx-O said as they all headed straight back to the Thunderstrike.
"When we get you back, I need to run another medical scan to make sure that you are fine." Pumyra said.
"Why is that, I'm staring to feel much better now." Ma-TI replied starting to get more of his strength back.
"Yes, well the villes we used on you were designed for Thundercat usage, and not for human." Pumyra started to explain. "There may be some side effects that we don't know of yet."
"In that case I think I should take you up on that medical scan." Ma-Ti said while everyone else was starting to giggle.
As they all boarded the Thunderstrike, Lynx-O climbed into the main pilot chair while Ma-Ti sat behind him. Linka and Kwami climbed into the secondary pod on the left and Pumyra and Bengali on the right.
"Linka, thank you for all of your help with the Thunderstrike. I think it is running better than ever." Lynx-O said as he started the pre-flight check.
"Do you think we will have any problems going back the way we came?"
"I think that this time we will be just fine." Lynx-O said as he started to fly the Thunderstrike off the ground and back towards the mountain entrance.
"Kwami, Linka, I think you better start telling me what has been happening here before I start to loose my mind." Ma-Ti stated while he was sitting behind Lynx-O.
"As I said before my friend it is gonna be a VERY LONG STORY." Kwami said as all the them started to laugh again.
While starting to tell their story to Ma-Ti, the Thunderstrike started flying back through the mountain's cave entrance emerging back on the other side, then rising above the dark forest, and was heading on a course straight back home to the Cat's Lair.
