As the Thundercats and the Planeteers were joining each other in the conference room of the Lair, the skies above were busy with the sound of two vehicles heading towards them on the outside.
"Snarfer…Snarfer…How long before we get there Lynx-O." Snarfer started to say, as he and Lynx-O were flying in the Thunderstrike from the Tower Of Omens. "I can't wait to see Uncle Snarf."
"We will be there in just a few minutes my friend." Lynx-O said.
"Snarfer…Snarfer… I just hope that Lion-O will be happy when out special guests arrive. Yup I hope he will be, yes sir."
"I'm sure of it Snarfer. I just hope they can help our Planeteer friends in restoring their ring powers."
"I've never even seen these rings that everyone is talking about. Yup that's right."
"Don't worry I'm sure that you will have your chance to see them in action, once they are restored."
"I hope so, I was so jealous that you got to meet or new friends while I was stuck on monitor duty." Snarfer said with a little sorrow.
"I'm sure that when we get to the lair, the Planeteers will be happy to answer any questions that you have about their rings."
"Snarfer…Snarfer… I can hardly wait Lynx-O."
Just then the Thunderstrike's proximity sensors started going off. While the sensors were going off Snarfer was able to get a visual look see at the object that was causing all of the ruckus. What Snarfer saw was a space age motorcycle all colored silver and two ladies on board. Once Snarfer saw what was coming he immediately started to try and find cover.
"What has gotten into you Snarfer?" Lynx-O asked sensing that Snarfer was scared.
"She's here Lynx-O." Snarfer started to say. "Mandora is here."
Just then the radio on board the Thunderstrike started to come to life. "Mandora Evil Chaser to Thundercats, come in."
"This is Lynx-O Mandora, glad to hear from you." Lynx-O responded. "Am I to assume that you have Mumm-Rana with you as well?"
"Yes, she is here." Mandora replied. "This had better not be a waste of my time Thundercat, I'm not used to fetching other people."
"Everything will be explained once we reach the lair." Lynx-O responded.
"Alright then,." Mandora started to say. "I still am very interested in meeting these Planeteer people that you had informed me about earlier."
"You shall meet them and I have a feeling that you and them might have more in common then you think."
"I shall believe that when I see them for myself. Mandora out" She said as the radio went dead again.
"Snarfer…Snarfer.. She sure is in a bad mood right now Lynx-O."
"It's part of her job my young friend. I wouldn't pay any attention to it for now."
"Snarfer…Snarfer…If you say so Lynx-O."
After that both the Thunderstrike and the Electro-charger made a perfect landing right in front of the lair.
"Come along my friend." Lynx-O started to say. "Lion-O will be wondering what is taking us so long." Lynx-O said as he and Snarfer climbed out of the Thunderstrike.
While they were both climbing out of the Thunderstrike, Mandora and Mumm-Rana were also dismounting from the Electro-cycle, getting ready to enter Cat's Lair as well.
"It sure has been a while since I was last here." Mumm-Rana stated as she got a good look at the lair."
"I just hope that this whole mission is worth it." Mandora stated.
"We will soon find out Mandora, here comes Lynx-O and Snarfer." Mumm-Rana said as she gestured Mandora to Lynx-O and Snarfer.
"Glad you both could make it, please follow me to the conference room and we will explain the reason for your arrival here." Lynx-o stated as he and Snarfer both led Mandora and Mumm-Rana into the Lair and towards the Conference room.
The group then approached the doors to the Conference room with Lynx-o at the front followed by Snarfer, then Mandora and finally Mumm-Rana. As Lynx-O opened the doors the whole group was surprised at what they had saw upon entering the room.
After the whole group emerged inside the room they saw that there were three empty chairs as all of the others were occupied by the Thundercats, the Planeteers and a new arrival that Lynx-O had never sensed before until now. At that moment, Lion-O started to speak.
"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.
"I agree Lynx-O." Lion-O responded. "Gaia, would you like to begin?" Lion-O asked as he gestured to Gaia and the Planeteers.
"I would be happy to Lion-O." Gaia responded. "Before I begin I would like to thank Lion-O and the rest of the Thundercats for their hospitality to me and my fellow Planeteers." She said before she continued. "My name is Gaia and I am the spirit of the Earth, the home planet for me and my fellow Planeteers. Our mission is to protect the world from those who would do it harm, that is why I formed my team by giving them rings with the powers of nature. These rings are used to protect nature and to help everyone to understand how important it is to save our world by recycling and using lees natural resources."
"That is incredible my dear." Lynx-O started to say. "I never knew that your young charges had such an important role to play in saving your world."
"It is our duty to help everyone to make sure that we have a home for our children to live in." Kwami stated.
"Free of Pollution, free of fear and free from harm." Wheeler added.
"So that everyone would understand that what they do to our world now will have an effect later." Linka added.
"And to make sure that our Oceans and sea life are unharmed and safe from those who would do them harm." Gi added.
"Also to make sure that everyone's voice for concern is heard and saved." Ma-Ti added.
"That is the mission that my Planeteers is always fighting for." Gaia responded.
After what Gaia and her Planeteers said the whole room went quiet while they were all processing what they had heard, They couldn't believe that the Planeteer's mission was so very important to life on their world. Now the Thundercats understand why their enemies would do anything to stop them and at any cost.
"So what you are telling us is that you are almost like officers of the law." Mandora started to say.
"You could say that in a way." Kwami stated.
"Mandora, why don't you tell our guests a little bit about yourself." Lion-O asked.
"Very well, but I don't know what purpose this will do." She started to say. "I still have a lot of monitoring out their in space to do to make sure that no crimes are being committed."
"Just please tell them a little bit about yourself, Mandora." Snarfer said.
"All right if you want to know." She responded before she started to speak. "My name is Officer Mandora 1st class of the interplanetary control force, my assignment is to capture wanted criminals and bring them to justice. I first met the Thundercats when three very dangerous criminals were accidentally released from their containment module. The three criminals were named Plutar a criminal who's very touch can destroy any living thing, Burnout, a robotic criminal that likes to destroy anything in his robotic way and Quick-Pick an ex criminal but still a very dangerous pick-pocket. The Thundercats helped me to recapture them and I sent them to the space penal planet, the most secure prison in space. For a while the prison had no trouble until I came across a space pirate named Captain Cracker. He was a robotic malfunctioning robot pirate that arrived at the prison and released all of the prisoners."
"That sounds awful Mandora." Ma-Ti said.
"It wasn't as bad as you think." She replied before continuing. "I was being held captured by Cracker until I sent the Electro-Charger to Lion-O by remote control and then he and the former criminal Quick-pick rescued me. But while all of this was going on, Cracker with all of his newly freed criminals were heading straight towards Third Earth to Plunder and destroy."
"Oh my, how did you stop them Mandora?" Gi asked.
"Lion-O was able to call the other Thundercats with his sword while we were all in deep space, so once Cracker and his band of criminals set down, the other Thundercats were able to capture everyone that had escaped. After Lion-O, Quick-pick and myself rejoined them, I personally took the ship of criminals back to the prison and dropped off Cracker on the island of Way-Out-Back were he is still alone except for the worst criminal scum in all of the galaxy."
"What ever happened to Quick-pick?" Wheeler asked.
"The counsel was so impressed that Quick-pick helped to save my life that they decided to pardon his past crimes as long as I kept a constant eye on him. Last time I checked, he was doing security checks for a new bank that had opened in the Alpha Beta sector."
"I'm glad that Quick-pick is doing much better then the last time I saw him." Lion-O stated.
"He may be a little frightened at some situations, but he is very good at his job." Mandora responded.
"Thank you Mandora." Lion-O said. "Mumm-Rana would like to go now?"
"Thank you Lion-O, I would be most honored to tell my story." She replied before she started to tell her tale to the Planeteers. "My name is Mumm-Rana Then Ever Good and I met the Thundercats quite by accident a few years ago. The Mutants and the Thundercats were having a battle high above my home planet when I didn't know who they were back then. As the Mutant's ship started to head towards my home, I used my powers to safely land their ship and admit them into my White Pyramid. Once inside I discovered their true nature but I was UN-prepared when I saw that Mumm-Ra The Ever Living was their ally in evil. I tried to stop him, but was placed under his spell making me believe that the Thundercats were evil and that the Mutants were good."
"How awful, to be controlled by someone else is so horrible." Linka said while to conceal her own experience.
"Linka, you alright babe?" Wheeler asked.
"Da, do not worry about me Yankee." Linka responded.
"Did I say something to make you sad my friend?" Mumm-Rana said to Linka.
"Just an old memory that I can't seem to forget even though it happened a long time ago." Linka answered.
"I am so sorry to be bringing back memories that are hurting you my dear." Mumm-Rana responded.
"It's OK." Wheeler started to say. "It was rough for all of us when it first happened but it only made us more determined after we all got through it."
Linka didn't say a word, but she was happy that Wheeler didn't explain that she was once controlled by Skum when he tricked Linka's cousin Boris into giving her a new designer drug that Skum had created called Bliss. The Planeteers arrived in Washington D.C. to help save her and everyone that was infected but unfortunately for Linka the price for saving the city from Skum was too high. While the Planeteers were trying to help save Linka on top of the Capital building, her cousin Boris died from a Bliss overdose, but that gave her the strength to help the others to call Captain Planet and defeat Skum and destroy the Bliss drug once and for all. It took Linka a long time, but she finally broke the Bliss addiction thanks to all of the Planeteers and especially Wheeler. He never left her side the whole time she was struggling with the withdrawal.
"I'm sorry for making you relive whatever caused you great pain my dear." Mumm-Rana said hoping to ease the tension with Linka.
"It is OK, I will explain what happened to me with you at another time, please continue your tale Mumm-Rana." Linka said.
"Thank you my dear, I look forward to hearing about what happened to you in great detail." Mumm-Rana said before she continued with her story." As I was saying, when I met the Thundercats their sword did not want to battle me and instead of destroying them, I banished them to a very dangerous part of Third Earth. It took the Thundercats a while to get back , but when they did they were able to release me from Mumm-Ra's spell by showing me the true nature of the Mutants. After I was free from Mumm-Ra's spell, he appeared and started to attack me. I was able to defeat him with the help of Lord Lion-O, but I was to weak to make it back home. Lion-O and the others brought me back to my Pyramid and we forged an alliance so that whenever they needed my help I would be there in an instant."
"That is some story Mumm-Rana." Ma-Ti said.
"Thank you my friend." Mumm-Rana said to Ma-Ti.
"Lion-O, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but why is Mumm-Rana and Mandora here?" Wheeler asked.
"Yankee, don't be so rude." Linka started to say. "I am sorry for my friend's words, he sometimes speaks before he thinks." Linka said.
"It is quite alright Linka." Lion-O replied. "Wheeler's question is a legit one."
"Then can you explain it to us?" Gi asked.
"Gaia, you said that the powers of nature are inside the rings correct?" Lion-O asked
"That is quite correct." Gaia responded.
"Mumm-Rana, do you think that your powers, combined with the sword's and Gaia, could they be used to restore the Planeteers rings before Mumm-Ra disabled them?"
"That is an interesting question Lion-O." Mumm-Rana started to say. "I don't know anything about their rings, but if Gaia could assist me then maybe it will work. But I don't know for how long their powers would last."
"If there is a chance to help my Planeteers restore their powers then we must take it." Gaia said.
"I agree, we must take that chance." Kwami stated.
"That goes double for me." Wheeler also added.
"Da, we must try." Linka added as well.
"We can't give up no matter the cost." Gi replied.
"We are ready to try whenever you are my friends." Ma-Ti added.
"Then let us begin." Lion-O said as he drew his sword from his claw shield. "Gaia, Mumm-Rana, please concentrate all of your power into the eye Of Thundera." Lion-O said as both Gaia and Mumm-Rana saw the Cat's Eye in the sword. "Everyone else better stand back, I don't know what will happen once we begin the process."
At that moment, all of the Thundercats started to get up from their seats and move away from the table except for Lion-O, Gaia, Mumm-Rana, Mandora and the Planeteers.
"Tygra, I want you to start scanning the instant we begin, we have to find a way to make their rings works if we fail again."
"Right away Lion-O." Tygra said as he took out a device and started to scan.
As Tygra started the scan, both Gaia and Mumm-Rana raised both of their hands as beams of blue and purple energy came shooting out of their hands and into the sword's cat's eye.
As the beams of energy entered the cat's eye the sword started to glowed with renewed strength and power. Lion-O as well as the rest of the Thunderctas had never seen the sword glow that powerful before even with the Eye Of Thundera embedded within the sword itself. As Gaia and Mumm-Rana stopped the flow of energy, the sword was still energized with more power than it ever had before.
"Planeteers, get ready." Lion-O stated as the Planeteers all rose from their seats.
"Ready Lion-O." Kwami said as Lion-O began his chant.
"THUNDER….THUNDER….THUNDER….THUNDERCATS….HO!" Lion-O yelled as the sword changed into its long sword form.
As the sword started to transform, Gaia was most surprised by what she was seeing. The sword started to change its form from a short sword to a long sword just as the cat's eye symbol within the sword started to transform into the symbol of the Thundercats. As if she thought she had seen enough, then a beam came from out of sword showing a giant image of the cat symbol while it started to growl. As Gaia started to look around while the symbol was in the air, she noticed that all of the Thundercats, eyes as well as the symbols on their uniforms started to glow. She couldn't stop wondering if this is what happens whenever Lion-O activates the sword and produces the beam.
After the beam produced the Cat's symbol, it started to change its form again into five small beams of pure energy. These energy beams were also infused with the power from both Gaia and from Mumm-Rana, hoping that their combined energies would restore the rings to full strength. As Gaia watch the five small beams hit each one of the Planeteers's rings causing the purple glow to be removed and showing each of their symbols again.
"Planeteers, call your friend to see if they work." Lino-O stated.
"You heard him Planeteers, call Captain Planet." Gaia responded.
"Kwami my man, let's sound off." Wheeler said.
"You got it Wheeler. "Kwami responded. "LET OUR POWERS COMBINE!"
"EARTH!"
"FIRE!"
"WIND!"
"WATER!"
"HEART!"
As all five of the Planeteers completed the sequence all of the rings shot beams of pure energy into the top of the conference room and started to merge together. As the beams merged, all of the Thundercats as well as their guests were still amazed at what was happening right in front of them.
"BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!" Captain Planet said as he materialized from all of the five energy beams.
"Hello there Planeteers, nice to see you again." Planet said as he started to look around. "Looks like we have a crowd here today."
"They are just amazed at what they are seeing Cap." Gaia said.
"Good to see you as well Gaia." Planet said as he came back down to ground level.
"How are you feeling Cap?" Wheeler asked.
"I'm still feeling a little weak, but it is not as bad from before when I faced that mummy creature." Planet responded.
"Captain Planet, Wheeler and I would like to ask you something very important?" Linka said.
"Go right ahead Linka, I always enjoy talking to all of you. "Planet responded
"Wheeler and I would like to invite you to our wedding." Linka asked.
"Your wedding? I'm honored." Planet started to say. "When will this special day arrive?"
At that moment Wheeler joined Linka with Captain Planet. "The wedding is going to happen the day after tomorrow." Wheeler said.
Linka after hearing Wheeler's answer turned around to face him. "Yankee, are you sure about that?" She started to say. "We have so much to do then."
"Linka, babe." Wheeler said as he grabbed both her hands. "I have been waiting for our special day together for years even after I first met you on that special day on Hope Island. I don't want to wait any longer, I want to be your husband and you to be my wife."
"Da, my Yankee, I want to be with you forever no matter where we are." Linka responded.
"So are we in agreement about the wedding date?" Wheeler asked.
"Da, by this time in two days we will be married." Linka said as Wheeler gave Linka a very special hug.
"CP, are you going to be able to make it?" Wheeler asked.
"I am not sure Wheeler, I don't know how long I have here." CP replied.
"Tygra how are those scans coming along?" Lion-O asked now joining the group.
"It would go a lot better if I could get some deep scans of Captain Planet." Tygra stated. "With your permission of course Captain Planet."
"If there is a chance to restore my powers to full as well as the Planeteers' rings, then I am all for it." Captain Planet said.
"Just one thing left to do before you go with Tygra Planet." Wheeler started to say. "EVERYONE, MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE." Wheeler said getting everyone's attention. "LINKA AND I HAVE DECIDED THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET MARRIED THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW."
After that announcement all of the Planeteers and Thundercats came over to the happy couple to congratulate them on setting the date. Even Mandora and Mumm-Rana joined the group.
"Mandora, I know that being and officer is an important job, but would you consider coming to our wedding as one of Linka's Bridesmaid?" Wheeler asked.
"Being a officer takes high priority in my line of work, however after hearing your friend Gaia's story and seeing how much you both love each other, I would be honored to attend, but I won't be a bridesmaid." She responded.
"I understand Mandora." Linka answered.
"Instead I would like to oversee the ceremony with your permission." She replied.
"Are you able to do that?" Lion-O asked.
"Besides being an officer of the law, I also have a right to be a justice of the peace for special occasions. Just don't tell anybody."
"Your secret is safe with us Mandora and thank you. "Wheeler stated.
"Seeing how much in love you both are will be thanks enough. Now I need to get things started with the rest of the group here." Mandora said as she started to get everyone else away from the happy couple to start getting everything ready.
As Mandora was telling people what should happen, Tygra and Captain Planet headed towards the lab to continue the tests to make sure that there was a way to restore their power for good.
While Linka and Wheeler were alone on one side of the room Mandora was talking to some of the Thundercats to figure out what to serve and who to invite for the big day.
"Mandora, I need to borrow the kittens for a very special delivery run." Gi asked.
"And what may I ask is this special delivery run?" Mandora asked.
"They both have to help me pick up something from the Wollo village." Gi started to say. "I believe it should be done by now."
"I don't see any reason why they shouldn't go with you, just be careful." She responded.
"Don't worry, we'll take good care of her. The kittens said as they and Gi left the room.
"I have an idea of who to invite to the wedding." Snarfer said with excitement.
"And who do you want to invite Snarfer?" Snarf asked.
"Why don't we invite all of our friends to the ceremony." Snarfer replied.
"That is not a bad idea Snarfer." Panthro started to say. "It would be just like the time when we had a ceremony for Lion-O when he became the official Lord of the Thundercats."
"Snarf…Snarf…I'll get started on those invites right away." Snarf said as he left the room.
"HEY, WAIT FOR ME UNCLE SNARF. I WANT TO HELP TOO." Snarfer said as he followed his uncle.
At that time, Tygra and Captain Planet returned from the lab.
"Hey Cp, is everything alright?" Wheeler asked.
"I'm just feeling a little weaker right now Wheeler." Planet responded.
"Tygra, are you done with all of those tests?" Lion-O asked.
"Yes I am, and I think that it would be best for Planet to return to your rings and rest." Tygra stated.
"I agree my friend." Kwami said. "We will call you again once everything is all set up on our end, and hopefully we will have good news about restoring all of our powers."
"That will be good to hear Planeteers." Planet said as he started to rise off the ground. "Until the wedding, THE POWER IS YOURS." Planet said as he once again transformed back into the five beams of energy and returned to their rings.
As Captain Planet returned back to their rings, the purple aurora once again covered up the rings rendering them again useless.
"I am getting sick and tired of our rings doing that." Wheeler said as he watched his ring go dark again.
"Da Yankee, but don't forget that he will be back for our wedding." Linka said.
"Alright you two we have some planning to do." Kwami said.
"Lynx-O you think that you can take our happy couple back to the tower until all of the preparations are complete?" Lion-O asked.
"It will be my pleasure Lion-O." Lynx-O responded. "I can give them a tour of the Tower Of Omens anyway."
"Alright you two have a good time with Lynx-O and we will see the both of you in two days." Ma-Ti said.
"Yes, just don't try and kill each other before the big day." Kwami joked.
"Hey Kwami, I think I am starting to rub off on you a little." Wheeler joked as well.
"Let's get out of here Yankee." Linka said while giving Wheeler a gentle push. "They have a lot of work to do anyway."
"Alright, I know when I am done trying to fight with you." Wheeler said as both of them went with Lynx-O out of the conference room and outside the lair towards the Thunderstrike.
