The sky above Cat's Lair started to transform, as the Planeteers finished their ring commands. The sky started to fill with 5 beams of multicolored energy. Each beam of energy corresponded to each of their rings, green for Kwami, red for Wheeler, white for Linka, blue for Gi and yellow for Ma-Ti. As the five beams started to merge, all of the Thundercats looked up to see what was happening. As they all looked with wonder they were completely surprised with what was happening next, the beams have combined and turned into a giant silver ball of pure energy. Then that energy started to change into a human like form becoming more clear every moment, the form started to become as hard as crystal as red boots started to form at the man's feet. Red shoulder garments went right across his chest and a symbol of a golden planet appeared in the middle. His hair was solid green while his face and the rest of his body that wasn't protected started to shine as bright as the sun itself. Then the being started to speak.
"BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I AM CAPTAIN PLANET." he said completing the transformation.
"GO PLANET!" All the Planeteers shouted.
"Whoa nice to see you again Planeteers." Captain Planet started to say. "I'd love to stay and catch up, but I see our old friends are up to no good. If you'll excuse me," He said as he started to fly off.
"Who on Thundera was that?" Tygra asked.
"That is Captain Planet." Kwami started to answer. "The world's best hope for peace."
Captain Planet saw Blight, Sludge and Nukem it their vehicles and was completely taken away." Whoa Blight, trying to downgrade are we." He said while flying towards Blight.
"See if you can handle my Toxic Missile Captain Do Gooder." Blight said as she fired the missile.
"No thanks Blight, it's your mess you can keep it." Planet said as he transformed into a giant twister and drew the missile into the wind. "I think that Duke can use this more." He said as he re-directed the missile towards Nukem.
Nukem saw the missile heading straight for him and wasn't to happy. "I'd better get out of here." Nukem said as he quickly jumped out of the Nose Diver, just as Blight's Toxic missile impacted with the Nose Diver.
"Now who's next." Planet said before he started to feel week. "Must be out of shape, feeling a little tired." Planet said not knowing the reason for starting to feel so weak.
"Now I've got you Planet." Sludge said as he started to fire laser beams at Planet.
Planet was able to avoid them with no problem. "Sorry Sludge, didn't any one tell you that you need a Pilot's license to fly around here." Planet said as he extended both his arms and fired heat beams melting the wing tips of the Sky Cutter.
"Everyone Retreat." Blight then started to shout. "Back to the castle, and hurry." Blight shouted as the Eco-Villains started to retreat.
"I'd better check in with the Planeteers and find out why I am feeling so weak all of a sudden." Captain Planet thought flying back to the other Planeteers.
Mumm-Ra has been watching this whole time and now he has the perfect chance to attack and eliminate Lion-O one and for all.
"Now's my chance,with the sword is dead I will finally claim it." Mumm-Ra said as he disappeared into a flash of red light.
At that moment Captain Planet descended to the ground to see his fellow Planeteers.
"Planeteers, its good to see you, but what are you wearing?"
"I believe I can answer your questions, Captain Planet was it." Lion-O said
"And you are?"
But before Lion-O could answer Mumm-Ra appeared and blasted Captain Planet right in the back.
"NOW I HAVE YOU LION-O, I'LL TAKE THAT SWORD!" He shouted.
"Lion-O who is that?" Gi asked looking really freaked out.
"That's Mumm-Ra's true form." Lion-o Responded
"That thing is the same bag of bones mummy that we've met before?" Wheeler questioned looking amazed.
"'I'LL TAKE THAT SWORD WHELP, NOW THAT IT HAS LOST ALL OF ITS POWERS RE-CHARGING THOSE STUPID RINGS."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that Mumm-Ra." Captain Planet said while stirring.
"IMPOSSIBLE, HOW COULD YOU BE GETTING UP. YOU'RE TOO WEAK TO STOP ME."
"I maybe down but I'm not completely out you bully. "Planet stated.
"I'LL DESTROY YOU RIGHT NOW THEN." Mumm-ra shouted as he grabber Captain Planet.
"Lion-O, you know this creature, isn't there anyway to stop him.?" Ma-Ti asked.
"Yes there is, Mumm-Ra must see his own reflection, that's the only way to stop him." Lion-O explained.
"If you're sure about that." Kwami said.
"CAPTAIN PLANET, GET THAT MUMMY TO SEE HIS OWN REFLECTION AND HURRY!" Linka shouted to Captain Planet.
"Well Mumm-Ra it looks like you need a new reflection on life." Captain Planet said as part of his body and face became completely reflective.
Mumm-Ra was taken completely by surprise as he saw his own reflection within Captain Planet's own body. "NO, NO NO, GET AWAY FROM ME!" Mumm-Ra shouted with fear. "I SAID GET AWAY FROM ME!" Mumm-Ra said again this time screaming in pain. "I WILL GET THAT SWORD FROM YOU LION-O, I WILL DESTROY YOU AND THE REST OF THE THUNDERCATS. MUMM-RA THE EVER LIVING WILL BE BACK!" He said as he disappeared still screaming in pain.
After Mumm-Ra disappeared Captain Planet almost collapsed from exhaustion. "Planeteers, I feel so weak, I must return to the Earth to recharge." Then his body started to diss ingrate forming back into the five beams of power." Remember, the power is yours." He said as all five beams went back into their rings.
After Captain Planet changed back into the five beams and returned to the rings, they started to be covered up again by the purple aurora. The Planeteers' powers were once again no longer useable.
"Is everyone OK?" Lion-O asked after what happened to them with Mumm-Ra.
"Thundercats?"
"HO!" All the Thundercats said as they rejoined Lion-O and the Planeteers.
"Is that what happens when you combine your powers like that?" Pumyra asked being completely blown away.
"That is about the sum of it Pumrya." Wheeler answered.
"But why did Captain start to get weak so fast?" Kwami asked.
"Jaga said that the sword would re-energize your rings for a short time, but when you combined their powers, it must have cut the time down even shorter." Tygra answered thinking that he might be right.
"We have to find out, we have to let Gaia know that we are safe." Gi stated.
"Maybe we should get to work trying to repair all of the damages that Mumm-Ra and Blight's crew did to the Thundercat's home first." Wheeler said hoping to keep everyone busy.
"That's a good idea Wheeler." Panthro said
"We should bring all of what's left of the vehicles inside and get started." Bengail said.
"I agree and we should also discuss why that mummy was afraid of his own reflection." Linka asked.
With that, the Thundercats all started to bring in all of the vehicles that survived the fight back into the lair to begin repairing them.
"We'd better also check to see how badly the control room favored from all of this." Lion-O stated.
"Tygra, Bengali and I will go check." Panthro said getting ready to check.
"I'll go with you to see if I can help." Wheeler asked.
"Come along then, we could always use another set of hands." Bengail said.
With that done the four of them started to head back to the control room to check out the damage.
"Your Captain Planet is a remarkable warrior." Cheetara said.
"Da, he is, but I wished that he could have stayed longer to help us out with these repairs.' Linka said as she was trying to help fix the vehicles.
"I wouldn't worry about it for much longer my dear." Lynx-O said as he walked over.
"What do you mean Lynx-O, have you found a way to help him." Gi said asking the question.
"I might have." Lynx-o paused a moment then continued." Lion-O, remember what I said about sensing some sort of bond within the rings back at lab?"
"Yes Lynx-O, I remember." Lion-answered.
"Well when the Planeteers summoned their friend I was able to detect that feeling a lot stronger then before. I believe I may have found a way to restore all of their rings without draining the sword's power."
"That incredible Lynx-O." Ma-Ti said while hearing the whole conversation.
"Yes but it will take some time and I need the equipment back at the Tower of Omens to get started."
"Then we'd better focus all of our repairs on fixing the Thunderstrike right away." Pumyra said starting to walk over to see what was left of the vehicle.
"Da, if we all work together then we will have this vehicle working in no time." Linka replied.
"Linka, Cheetara, Pumyra, could I speak with you for a while, in private?" Gi asked
"Of course Gi." Cheetara answered.
"You guys get started on the repairs, we'll be back in a moment." Pumyra said as the ladies all stepped out of the hangar for a while.
Once the four ladies were in the conference room Gi began to explain why she wanted to talk to them.
"Linka, I'm scared. I mean I know that we can call Cap but we can't keep doing that, not if what happened today can happen again."
"Da, I know what you mean by that Gi, but what choice do we have."
"As Thundercats we all have to do things that we might not want to happen." Pumyra started to say. "It's all part of our code of honor."
"But the Planeteers don't have a code like that." Gi replied.
"In a way, yes you do." Cheetera interjected "Just think about it for a moment, what is your role as Planeteers Gi."
"To protect the world from Pollution and destruction." Gi responded.
"Cheetara, where are you going with this?" Linka asked not knowing what Cheetara is trying to say.
"What I am trying to say is that your code of saving the Earth from pollution is just about the same as our code of Thundera. Always trying to make the world a better place for peace."
With that info in her ears, Gi walked over to Cheetara and then gave her a hug. "Thank you Cheetara." Gi started to say. "I really needed to hear that."
"I think that there is something else that we should start to discuss?" Pumyra stated.
"AND WHAT MIGHT THAT BE." All three of the girls said at the same time.
"I think that we should be talking about planning Linka and Wheeler's Wedding in the mean time."
"Pumyra, have you lot your mind!" Linka said almost starting to shout.
"I love that idea." Gi said
"You would." Linka retorted.
"Just let me explain for a moment." Pumyra paused and then she continued. "Listen the repairs are gonna take a few days to complete even with everyone working together, and if we all had something else to work on as well say perhaps a wedding, then everyone might pitch in get the repairs done sooner. Besides I think that you and Wheeler really need this right now Linka."
"Why would you say that for?" Linka said while trying not to blush after what Pumyra said. She knows that marrying Wheeler would be the happiest thing in the world for her, but she is also saddened that her family wouldn't be able to make it.
"I saw the way you looked after Wheeler proposed to you last night. You wanted to get married right then and there. Please Linka, tell me that I am wrong about what I saw last night."
Linka paused a moment, started to blush and then she started to speak. "Da, I did want to marry him right there and then."
"Linka, if you did then why didn't you?" Gi said coming over to her friend for comfort.
"I …I was afraid Gi. Afraid that we might never get back home and that we may never see our families again."
"Oh Linka, I'm so sorry I'd didn't even consider that. I am such a rotten friend."
"Nyet Gi, you are an awesome friend." She paused a moment wiping a tear from her face. "I've just never had to deal with my feelings for Wheeler like I am doing right now. I feel that there is a war going on inside me. My feelings for him, and my desire to go home, it is starting to drive me insane from the inside out."
'Linka, this is all my fault." Cheetara said now walking over the Linka. "I should never had given Wheeler that ring to give to you. I had no idea of how much you actually cared about him, and your desire to return home.
"Nyet Cheetara Nyet, I'm glad you gave him this ring to give to me. It shows that I can't rely on my head when it is my heart I want to listen to."
"And what is your heart telling you to do right now, Linka?" Pumyra asked.
Linka paused for a moment while she placed her hand with Wheeler's engagement ring over her own heart. She then closed her eyes and took in a deep breath before letting it out. Then she decided and started to speak again. "I…I…I want to marry Wheeler. I really do want to marry my Yankee. I just don't know how to tell the others, I am not the kind of person to go off wilily nilily like this."
"I don't think that telling them is gonna be a problem for much longer." Pumyra said as she gestured everyone to look towards the doors to the conference room.
While the ladies were discussing their personal fears and Linka's own fear about telling everyone about her wanting to get married, they didn't notice that the Thunderkittens were listening in the whole time.
"All right you two, get in here right now!" Cheetara shouted to the kittens while they were trying to hide themselves.
The kittens, knew that there cover was blown enter the room to get their punishment.
"Are you mad at us Cheetara, I mean we didn't mean to snoop." Wilykit said.
'Nyet, of course we are not mad at you." Linka said while walking over to the kittens. "But you shouldn't have been spying anyway."
"We're sorry." Both kittens said at the same time.
"Well anyway I'm glad that you both know, now it will make me telling the others a lot easier I think." Linka said being a little relieved.
"Linka, so when exactly do you want to have the wedding?" Gi said while looking a little squealish.
"I think that we should have the wedding in about a week, that way we will have plenty of time to prepare and the sword should be fully recovered by then." Cheetara said.
"Good idea Cheetara." Gi said almost to excited to calm down.
"Da, but I think that we should tell the guys right away, so at least this way we will be ready to start." Linka said
"Then lets go down there and tell them right now." Gi said almost running in to the kittens.
"Wait a minute Gi." Linka said trying to stop her.
"Wait a minunte, for what Linka?" Gi started to question her friend. "You want to marry Wheeler and we already know that the date will be next week. So what is the problem?"
"I just don't know how to tell him. I have never been this impulsive before. Usually that is my Yankee's specialty."
"Well maybe you should just tell me right now then."
When all of the girls heard that voice they all turned around to see Wheeler standing right by the open door.
"YANKEE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, AND HOW MUCH DID YOU HEAR?!" Linka shouted almost alerting the rest of the lair.
"I just got here a little while ago cause I was wondering where the kittens have scurried off to. Then I heard everything else about you wanting to get married in a week."
"Oh Yankee, please don't be mad at me for saying that." Linka said as Wheeler walked over to her.
"OK everyone, I know you want to tell the others so head down to the hangar and let them know. I want to spend a few minutes alone with by bride." Wheeler said while Linka started to blush. 'Now scoot all of you, scoot." Wheeler said as the rest of the group left to tell the others the good news about the wedding.
After the group left Wheeler and Linka alone, they both decided to sit down in two of the chairs at the table.
"Linka, why didn't you tell me that you wanted to marry me sooner?" Wheeler questioned.
"Yankee, I was trying to but my head was interfering with my heart and it was driving me crazy inside. Besides, I thought that you wanted to wait till we were home to get married."
"Linka that is crazy talk. I don't care where we get married as long as we do. I want to be with you forever even that means staying on Third Earth or on our Earth.'
"Wheeler what are you saying?"
"Linka I want you to be my wife and I don't care where we are, just as long as we are together and happy with other. You are my world and I will never leave you."
"Oh Yankee." She paused not being able to control the tears coming out of her eyes. "What have I done to deserve a person like you?"
"I don't know, but whatever you do, don't tell Gi."
"Why not tell Gi?"
"Cause then she'll be trying to figure it out before the wedding in a week." Wheeler said.
After that joke they both started to laugh out loud then the two love birds deiced to kiss each other with lots of passion.
"Yankee we must stop this for now." Linka said breaking contact with Wheeler.
"Babe is everything alright?"
"Da. It is."
"Then why did you stop?"
"Cause if I had continued there would be nothing left for us to do next week when we are husband and wife."
"Trust me Linka, there will be plenty of stuff to do when we are husband and wife."
"Wheeler you are incurable, do you know that."
"That is one of the reasons why you love me." Wheeler said while lifting his eyebrows a little.
'Da, I guess I'm stuck with you."
"And I with you." Wheeler said as he and Linka both got up.
"I wonder what Third Earth weddings are like around here?" Linka questioned.
"What ever they are we will be right in the middle of it and come out better than ever."
'Da, I agree."
As Linka and Wheeler finished their conversation they both decided to walk back to the hangar and get ready for the massive week that was about to begin. They also decided to hold each others' hands, not wanting to be separated ever again.
