The inside at Cat's Lair's medical bay was in a total buzz of confusion. Wheeler's life signs were starting to fail and to make matters worse Jaga came to Lion-O in his spirit form and needed to take the Sword Of Omens in an attempt to save Wheeler's life. Lion-O agreed ed but during the conversation Gi was wondering what was wrong with the Thundercats' leader, she later found out from Tygra that Lion-O was the only one who could see and speak to their wisest member. After a few minutes have passed, the Thundercats as well as the Planeteers in the med bay were about to get some startling news about their friend Wheeler.
"Panthro, Tygra look at these readings." Bengali stated as he saw Wheeler's life sign readings.
"I don't believe it." Panthro said being astonished.
"I can't believe it either myself." Tygra also said while being in shock.
"What is it my friends?" Kwami asked. "What has gotten you all so excited?"
"And does it have to do with Wheeler?" Gi also asked.
"Yes it does indeed my friends." Bengali started to say. "Come and see for yourself." He said as he gestured Gi to take a look.
"I have no idea what I am looking at Bengali." Gi stated as she approached the medical computer's screen.
"Then allow me to explain it in just one phrase." Bengali answered. "Wheeler is going to be just fine."
"HE IS?!" Gi said while trying not to scream in delight.
"Are you sure about that Bengali?" Kwami asked now looking at the same readings.
"Yes I am sure." Bengali responded. "By the look of these readings, I'd say that Wheeler should start to regain Consciousness in a little while."
"Then I guess we should disconnect and return Linka's Consciousness back into her body right away." Lion-O stated.
"I'll get started on that right now." Bengali stated as we went over to Linka on the bio-bed.
"I wonder how Jaga is doing?" Lion-O asked.
"Why don't you ask him yourself, my friend." Jaga's voice said.
"Jaga, glad that you're back." Lion-O said as Jaga's ghostly image returned again right in front of him.
"Yes, and I have another guest with me." He stated as he revealed his traveling companion.
"Who is this lovely woman with you Jaga?"
"This is Gaia, the Planeteers' Spirit of the Earth." Jaga stated while gesturing to his companion.
"It is an honor to meet you Gaia."
"The honor is mine, but I would like to see my Planeteers if that is possible." Gaia asked most kindly.
"Of course my dear." Jaga started to say. "Just let go of my hand and you will materialize fully in this world. By the way Lion-O I believe this belongs back with you." Jaga stated as he handed the sword back to Lion-O.
"Thank you Jaga. Was it very useful?"
"It was most useful to help save Wheeler's life with a lot of help from Linka and her love for him."
"That's good to know. Gaia, are you ready to join us?" Lion-O said shifting his attention to Gaia.
Gaia didn't answer back, instead she nodded her head and started to let go of Jaga's ghostly hand. It took only a short time, but Gaia was now fully physical and inside the Lair's medical bay.
"Lion-O, did I hear you say something about-" Gi said but was caught off when she turned around and looked at Lion-O.
"G…G….GAIA?!" She started to shout. "GAIA, IS THAT REALLY YOU?!"
Her screaming also got the attention of Kwami as Bengali started to push a few buttons on the device on top of Linka's head.
"Gaia, is that really you, are you really here?" Kwami stated as he too turned around to see Lion-O.
"Yes my Planeteers, I am really here and it is so good to see you as well." Gaia said with love in her voice.
At that moment, both Kwami and Gi ran over to Gaia and gave her a much needed hug of joy.
"Gaia, you do not know how glad and happy we are to see you." Gi stated.
"Same here Gaia, we were pretty lost without your guidance." Kwami added.
"It is alright Planeteers." Gaia started to say. "I'm here now and glad to see you."
"But how did you get here, I mean." Gi started to say.
"Wheeler, Linka and Jaga were able to locate me and bring me here."
"You saw Wheeler and Linka in the Spirit World?" Gi asked.
"Yes and we also ran into an old enemy of ours there too, Captain Pollution."
"Pollution, but how? I thought we had defeated him?" Kwami interjected.
"It sounds like Mumm-Ra has been up to his old tricks again my friends." Lion-O stated.
"Wheeler and Linka said something about a mummy zapping your rings, making them powerless."
"That is true Gaia." Kwami started to say. "But perhaps we should wait for Linka and Wheeler to rejoin us and then we should inform Ma-Ti about your arrival as well."
"I would love that very much Kwami." Gaia responded. "Perhaps you can explain you new clothing line as well." She said noticing the Planeteers's new outfits.
"That is a long story Gaia." Gi stated.
"My friends, why don't you take Gaia to the conference chamber and we'll see to waking up both Linka and Wheeler." Lion-O asked.
"Good idea." Gi answered. "Gaia you have to check this place out, it is completely amazing."
"I'm sure that I will enjoy it Gi." Gaia answered.
"Pumyra, why don't go with them, this way we can let their friends know in the control room. The rest of us will join you shortly." Lion-O asked.
"Sure thing Lion-O" Pumyra stated as she took Gaia and the two Planeteers towards the conference room.
"I am glad that your new friends are happy again." Jaga stated.
"Thanks to you Jaga." Lion-O responded.
"Not just me Lion-O, your new friends were a big help as well in locating her."
"Now if only we knew of a way to restore their ring's powers." Lion-O asked.
"I will try and see what I can learn about their rings from the spirit world." Jaga responded. "Maybe someone there may have the answer." He finished as he once again took his cape and made himself vanish.
"Good luck my friend." Lion-O stated as Jaga's image vanished from sight.
After Jaga disappeared, Lion-O was deep in thought wondering if maybe his friends that he had Lynx-O call might have to answer to restoring the Planeteer's rings to full power. After a moment Lion-O moved over to the intercom to contact the control to alert the others of what was happening.
"Med bay to Control Room, Come in Cheetara." Hs spoke into the intercom.
After a moment the intercom started to come to life. "Control room here Lion-O." Cheetara's voice answered. "What the situation?"
"Everything is just fine down here." He paused before he continued. "I would like you and the other Thundercats as well as Ma-Ti to join all of us in the conference room, we have a very special guest waiting in there."
"We'll be down there in a little while Lion-O, Lynx-O just radioed from the tower and your guests as well as Lynx-O and Snarfer are on the way. They should be here in about 15 minutes."
"Excellent, we will join you there as soon as Wheeler and Linka are awake and up to walking." Lion-O stated as the intercom went silent.
"Bengali, Tygra, how long do you think it will take to wake them both up?'
"Not long at all Lion-O." Bengali said as he finished removing the devices from both Linka and Wheeler's heads.
"We just have to administer a little adrenaline to their systems and they should be wide awake in no time." Tygra stated as he started the process..
Within a few minutes of administering the adrenaline, Linka started to open her eyes and focus her look on her friend in the other bed.
"Come on Yankee." She started to say. "It is time to wake up and rejoin the others."
"After a moment, Wheeler then started to open his eyes, and turned his attention to Linka.
"Hey there Babe." He stated while trying to get himself together. "I have such a headache."
"Nyet, Wheeler I don't believe that it was a headache."
"I don't know what was happening to me, it all seemed like a very weird dream." He stated as Linka's head moved closer to his.
"Maybe this will help you to remember." Linka said as she give him a very passionate kiss on his lips.
"I think that it is all coming back to me babe." He said with a smile on his face.
"Wheeler, I love you so very much."
"Same here babe." He said as both Wheeler and Linka started to climb of their beds.
"Hold it you two." Bengali stated while Panthro and Tygra were trying to keep the Planeteers from hurting themselves. "Your minds and bodies need a moment to rest, you've both been through a very traumatic experience."
"I'll rest more back in my own room with Linka, once we are married." Wheeler stated trying once again to get up.
"Da, we need to check in with Gaia and to make sure that everyone else knows that we are fine." Linka added also trying to get up.
"Alright you two." Lion-O started to speak. "We'll help you both to the conference room just as long as you both promise to take it easy for a few days."
Linka and Wheeler both looked at each other and then both nodded at Lion-O. After that, Bengali, Tygra, Panthro and Lion-O all helped the two Planeteers head towards the conference room.
As Lion-O and the other Thundercats were helping both Linka and Wheeler, the rest of the group was giving Gaia a little tour of the lair while on their way to the Conference room.
"So what do you think of our home Ms. Gaia?" Pumyra asked.
"It is so beautiful, and please just call me Gaia." She responded.
"Gaia, it really is good to have you here with us." Kwami stated.
"I agree with Kwami, you just wouldn't believe what has happened to us when we first got here and what happened afterwards." Gi said.
"I got a general idea from Wheeler and Linka when I saw them back on Hope Island." Gaia responded.
"Yes but unfortunately, we are still without the abality to call Captain Planet or to defend ourselves at most." Kwami interjected.
"Don't worry guys." Pumyra started to say. "We are all still trying to figure out a way to help restore your powers."
"I know Pumyra, it's just that I feel so useless with out the use of my ring." Gi stated.
"Gi, remember what I told you when you all thought that Zarm had destroyed your rings those many years ago."
"Yes Gaia." Kwami answered. "You said that the rings were not the source of our powers, but that they were a part of us the whole time."
"Exactly Kwami." Gaia started to say. "So maybe this mummy might have somehow broken your connection to yourselves when he hit your rings."
"That may explain why Lord Lion-O's sword was able to re-energize them for a short time before." Pumyra stated.
"Lets just hope that is the case." Gi responded. "Anyway we should be approaching the conference hall any moment now." She finished as they all approached the double doors to the conference chambers.
While everything was going on in the medical bay, Cheetara, the Thunderkittens and Ma-Ti were scanning the planet for any more signs of trouble.
"I hope that your friends in the Wollo Village were able to rebuild what our Eco-Villains destroyed." Ma-Ti said while looking at his computer screen.
"I wouldn't worry about the Wollos Ma-Ti." Wilykit started to say. "They are used to their homes being destroyed."
"Especially when we had to deal with the Mutants and Mumm-Ra all those years ago." Wilykat added.
"I wouldn't worry about that at all Ma-Ti." Cheetara said adding herself into the conversation. "Besides, at last check they were all done rebuilding what was destroyed."
"That's a great relief, now I can tell Gi that her special delivery is on schedule."
"And what may I ask is this special delivery that you and Gi along with the kittens have planned."
"It is supposed to be a surprise for both Wheeler and Linka Cheetara." Wilykat said.
"But I think that you have a right to know as well just as long as Wheeler and Linka doesn't find out about it until their wedding day." Ma-Ti explained.
"I promise, I won't tell Wheeler and Linka anything about it." Cheetara said.
"You see Gi and I went into Wheeler and Linka's room and borrowed their Planeteer uniforms."
"Oh?"
"You see Gi wanted to make them a pair of wedding clothes that they could wear, and since we have no idea how to make them." Wilykat started to say.
"You thought that maybe the Wollows could make the clothes for both of them." Cheetara finished.
"That's correct, please don't be mad at the kittens it was Gi's idea to take the clothes." Ma-Ti said.
"I'm not mad at the kittens or at you Ma-Ti." Cheetara responded.
"YOUR NOT?" Both kittens said.
"Not at all, it will be nice to have a wedding around here, and besides I always wondered how other civilizations celebrate the joining of two people in love." Cheetara stated.
At that moment their conversation was cut off by a transmission from the Tower Of Omens.
"Tower Of Omens to Cat's Lair." A voice came over the radio.
"Cat's Lair here, go ahead Tower Of Omens." Cheetara said.
After a moment the image of Lynx-O and Snarfer started to appear on the control room's main video screen. "I have great news for everyone." Lynx-O started to say. " Our special quests are gonna arrive at the lair within 15 minutes."
"That's great Lynx-O." Cheetara stated.
"Yes it is, please inform Lion-O about it and that Snarfer and I are also on the way. We should rendezvous with our guests at the front of the lair in the same time frame."
"I will Lynx-O, looking forward to seeing you and Snarfer when you both arrive."
"Tower Of Omens out." Lynx-O said as the screen went black.
"I just hope that Wheeler and Linka are doing OK in the medical bay." Ma-Ti said.
"Don't worry about a thing Ma-Ti, Bengali is the best." Wilykit said.
Just then the intercom started to come to life. "Med bay to Control Room, Come in Cheetara." A voice came over the intercom.
"Control room here Lion-O." She answered. "What the situation?"
"Everything is just fine down here. I would like you and the other Thundercats as well as Ma-Ti to join all of us in the conference room, we have a very special guest waiting in there."
"We'll be down there in a little while Lion-O, Lynx-O just radioed from the tower and your guests as well as Lynx-O and Snarfer are on the way. They should be here in about 15 minutes."
"Excellent, we will join you there as soon as Wheeler and Linka are awake and up to walking." Then the intercom went silent.
"I am so glad that both of my friends are alright." Ma-Ti said.
"I wonder who this special guest that Lion-O said is?" Wilykat asked.
"Who ever it is I doubt that they would like to be kept waiting." Cheetara stated.
"I agree, we should get down to the conference room right away." Wilykat said as they all started to get up.
"Ma-Ti, are you alright, you look a little nervous." Wilykat stated while looking at Ma-Ti as they as started to leave the control room.
"I'm fine my friends." Ma-Ti started to say. "I am just wondering who this special guest is that Lion-O wants us to meet."
"I wouldn't worry about anything Ma-Ti, just be yourself and everything will be fine." Cheetara said.
"Thank you my friends for helping me feel less nervous, I just wish that my ring would work." MA-Ti said as they left the control room.
"Don't worry about anything, now lets hurry along and meet the others." Wilykit said as they all headed towards the conference room.
As Panthro, Tygra, Bengali and Lion-O along with the two Planeteers were heading towards the room they were joined up by the team from the control room just as they were all about to reach the two double doors.
"Wheeler, Linka, I'm glad to see that you are up and about." Ma-Ti said with delight.
"Yeah, well if you consider having a few personal bodyguards being alright then I guess we are fine." Wheeler said in his usual joking mood.
"Don't listen to him Ma-Ti, we are both doing much better." Linka responded.
"Not if you consider having a near-death experience being better." Wheeler responded.
"What are you talking about Wheeler?" Wilykit asked.
"We will explain all of what happened to us later my friends." Linka responded.
"Yea, right now I want to see our special guest in the conference room." Wheeler stated as Cheetara opened the door.
The conference room was just as big as the Planeteers last remembered, but this time there were a few extra chairs to accommodate everyone who was attending this time. As Panthro, Tygra, Lion-O and Bengali helped Wheeler and Linka sit down, the rest of their party also started to take their seats.
"So when is this special guest supposed to get here Lion-O?" Wilykit asked.
"Our guest should be arriving any moment now Thunderkitten." Lion-O responded.
"I am getting a strange feeling about this special guest." Ma-Ti started to say. " I feel as if I know this person, but I am not quite sure why I know."
"Be patient Ma-Ti." Linka started to say.
"Yea little buddy, trust us it will be worth the wait." Wheeler said as the doors to the conference room once again opened to reveal Kwami, Gi, Pumyra and their special guest.
Ma-Ti couldn't help but turn around in his chair to see who it was, and sure enough he was definitely surprised by who he was seeing.
"GAIA? IS THAT REALLY YOU?" Ma-Ti said almost at the point of shouting as he got out of his chair.
"Yes Ma-Ti It is really me and I am so glad to see you here as well." Gaia responded.
Ma-Ti couldn't help but run over to Gaia and give her a hug with tears coming out of his eyes. "How did you find us?"
"You can thank Wheeler and Linka as well as Lion-O's friend Jaga. They made contact with me and brought me here to you."
"Wheeler, Linka, why didn't you tell me?" Ma-Ti said now looking at the two Planeteers sitting down.
"We didn't want to give anybody any false hopes Ma-Ti." Linka responded.
"Yea little buddy, besides we weren't even sure if Gaia could make it." Wheeler started to say. "It was such a weird experience for all three of us that for a moment there I thought it was all a dream."
"A dream that I helped you remember Yankee." Linka responded.
"And I am happy for that to babe." Wheeler responded as Ma-Ti came over to both of them.
"Next time my friends please don't worry us all so much." Ma-Ti said as he gave both Linka and Wheeler a hug before returning to his seat.
Lion-o then stood up and welcomed Gaia to join everyone at the table. "Please have a seat Gaia, we would all like to make your acquaintance."
"It would be my honor Lion-O." Gaia said as the rest of the group took their seats.
"There are still three empty chairs here Lion-O?" Gi started to say. "Are you expecting anyone else to arrive?"
"Yes I am and they should be entering here any moment now." Lion-O stated as the doors once again open to reveal Lynx-O Snarfer and their two guests.
"Welcome my friends." Lion-O said as everyone stood up to great Lynx-O, Snarfer and their two honored guests. "My fellow Planeteers and of course you as well Gaia, I would like to introduce to you Mandora Evil Chaser and Mumm-Rana friends of the Thundercats." Lion-o stated as all of them started to sit down at the table.
"We have a lot to discuss, so I believe we should get started with the introductions." Lynx-O said before all three of them took their seats.
