As the Bone Parade started to shift into high gear, the audience was getting the best show that they have ever seen in the history of the Halloween Horror Night event. After the dancers had finished their routine, and they heard the announcement to start to applaud they were all surprised to see what was happening next. With surprise and great delight, the crowd saw that five members of the dance crew raised their hands into the air as beams of light and energy emerged from each of them and heading straight into the dark night sky.
As the crowd watched with excitement and wonder, all five beams started to combine into a giant ball of white energy that momentarily illuminated the entire night sky as a person started to emerge from the ball of energy. This man was blue skinned colored as well as red boots, red gloves and red shoulder pads with a glowing yellow planet symbol on his chest. As the man finished emerging, he started to speak.
"BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!" The man said as all of the five dancers started to say something as if to answer him.
Once Captain Planet finished emerging from the energy ball and spoke his words, all of the Planeteers responded in the words they are all used to saying. "GO PLANET!" The Planeteers spoke.
"It is nice to see you Planeteers, but what is with the costumes?" Captain Planet said as he descended towards the group.
"It is for the Bone Drum Parade that we are helping out with tonight." Kwami stated.
"Yea, they asked us for some help and we all decided to join in just for tonight." Wheeler added.
"Da, it is for a good cause Captain Planet." Linka stated.
"Besides we are having a blast here at their Halloween Horror Night celebration." Gi added.
"We just thought that maybe you would like to do something special for the crowd here." Ma-Ti added.
"I believe that I have the perfect idea, Planeteers." Captain Planet stated as he once again rose up into the dark night sky.
After reaching enough height between the ground and the sky, Captain Planet fired two beams of red energy from his hands into the deep dark of night. Within moments of firing his energy beams, firework type explosions started to fill the entire night sky, creating a beautiful array of color and beauty for everyone to witness. As the show kept going on in the sky, everyone was cheering and applauding after witnessing the best firework show that they had ever seen. As the show started to die down, Captain Planet started to descend once again to hover over the Planeteers with a very big smile on his face.
"So, how did you like the show Planeteers?" Captain Planet asked with a sense of pride in his work.
"It was amazing Cap, everyone loved it." Wheeler stated while the cheering and applause was still going on.
"Thanks for helping us out like that Captain Planet." Kwami stated.
"It was my pleasure Planeteers, but you better remember that our Eco-Villains are already planning something else in the works." Planet replied.
"We will be ready for them Cap." Gi answered.
"Da we will always be here to stop them." Linka added.
"For our home is the most precious thing for everyone." Ma-Ti added.
"I'm glad to hear you all agree about that." Planet stated as he started to rise up again. "Have a great time here at Halloween Horror Nights Planeteers, but always remember, THE POWER IS YOURS!" Planet shouted as he transformed back into five beams of energy and returned to the Planeteers' rings.
As Captain Planet returned to their rings, everyone started to hear an announcement over the diner's loud speaker. "Attention everyone, lets give all of our performers as well as our special guest dancers, the Planeteers a big round of applause." The voice said as everyone started to cheer.
As the audience cheered, the dancers as well as the Planeteers all started to leave the area and head back towards the Back to the Future ride to get out of all of the costumes and makeup. Once they all reached their destination, the Planeteers all started to change back into their Planeteer Uniforms as well as wash off all of the black and white makeup from their faces.
"You know something babe, you were really great out there tonight." Wheeler stated as he saw Linka washing off her face makeup.
"Da, you were really great out there too Yankee." Linka responded as she put the wash cloth down on the makeup table.
"That was the most fun that I had ever had since being a Planeteer." Gi stated with a great big smile across her face.
"Calm down Gi or else you might just explode right there." Kwami stated as the others started to laugh.
"Come on my friends, we still have lots to do before the park closes." Ma-Ti stated as he joined the others heading towards the wooden gate.
"You guys were all really great out there. I don't know how to thank you for what you did for us." The manager stated as he joined them by the gate.
"It was our pleasure, and besides it was lots of fun for us to be included in the event." Kwami stated.
"It was our pleasure to have you as well Planeteers. Thank you for everything." The manager stated as he opened the wooden doors back into the park.
As the Planeteers left the back room, Kwami looked at his watch and couldn't believe what time it was. The clock read 10:15 in the evening and the Planeteers were still full of energy.
"Wheeler, I hate to put a damper on the fun for tonight but it is starting to get a little late and we had better start heading back to Hope Island shortly." Kwami stated with almost a sadness to his tone.
"I understand what time it is Kwami so I will make you a deal right now. We do one more Haunted House and one more ride and then we will start to head back home. Is it a deal?" Wheeler asked.
"My friend, you have yourself a deal. So what ride and what house then?" Kwami asked.
"Why don't we let the ladies decide." Wheeler stated as both Gi and Linka looked at Wheeler with surprise.
"Wheeler, why do you want the girls to decide what house and ride we go to next?" Kwami asked.
"This was my gift to all of my teammates so it is only natural that we should let the girls decide what we should do before we start to head back to Hope Island, besides I think that Gi and Linka both like the idea." Wheeler responded when he saw the look of happiness from both Linka and Gi's face.
"He does have a point there Kwami. I also agree with Wheeler's decision." Ma-Ti added.
"Very well then. So girls what do you want to do?" Kwami asked.
"Lets go do this ride." Gi stated as she pointed towards the Back to the Future Ride.
"Da Gi, that is a good idea." Linka replied as the others all nodded their heads.
"Then it's settled then." Kwami stated as they all started to walk towards the ride.
As they approached the ride, the usher asked the Planeteers to show their express passes as they were all walking through the express line queue. Once the Planeteers showed their passes and got them scanned, they all started to follow the instructions from the usher on the second level. As the door opened into the building, the Planeteers, after being told which row to go into all started to watch a video which explained what was going to happen to them as time-traveling volunteers helping Dr. Emmett Brown. The video then changed to Emmett Brown's dog Einstein, who was watching a live security feed as the camera went down from an intruder within the building. As everyone continued to wait they were then shown a brief video about the new time traveling eight person Delorean as it was going through a complete systems check.
After a brief moment, the Planeteers as well as three more people were escorted into another room where another video was starting to play. The video is showing Doctor Brown explaining the new time traveling vehicle that our friends were going to be riding in. As the video continued, the intruder revealed himself as young Biff Tanner from the year 1955, as he sealed doctor Brown inside his office with a large steal prison gate. After securing the doc, Biff then took one of the original time traveling Deloreans and left the building as he started to travel somewhere in time. Doctor Brown then told the group that we would have to go into the eight person Delorean and try to catch and then return Biff and the stolen time vehicle back to the Institute's loading dock. After the doc was done explaining what we had to do, we all had to wait a little bit while the safety instructions started to run about the safety of the ride.
As Wheeler continued to tell his story, the group arrived back at the Thundertank and started to climb in. Lion-O and Panthro took both the pilot and co-pilot seats while Turmagar, Tygra and Wheeler started to climb into the back of the tank while helping a still unconscious and poisoned Linka into the back of the tank very carefully.
"Panthro, Tygra, how long do you think it will take to reach the Hovercat?" Lion-O asked.
"About 10 - 15 minutes Lion-O." Tygra responded.
"Do you think that Linka will be able to hold on until we reach the Hovercat and then the lair?" Wheeler asked.
"I believe she can hold out till we get there." Tygra stated as he took a small medical scanner from a compartment in the back of the tank.
"We better get going then." Panthro stated as he started up the tank.
"Get us back to the Hovercat Panthro." Lion-O stated.
"You got it." Panthro responded as the tank started to move out.
"Tygra, how is Linka doing?" Turmagar asked.
"It looks like she is trying to fight off what ever that spider poisoned her with." Tygra stated as he checked her medical readings.
"Maybe that's why she isn't waking up. She is trying to fight the poison from the inside." Wheeler stated.
"It is possible, but we should let Bengali administer her the antidote, just to be on the safe side." Tygra stated as he put the medical scanner down.
"How long till we reach the surface?" Turmagar asked.
"About 15 minutes if we don't run into any more problems." Tygra responded.
"I hope that Linka will be alright until we get there." Wheeler stated as he had Linka's head lying down on his knees while her body is lying down next to him.
"She will be fine once we get back." Tygra stated. "Try not to worry too much."
"I can't help it Tygra, guys I just don't know what to do. I feel so helpless about this whole situation." Wheeler started to say. "This was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives and now this had to happen."
"You can't let this get you down my friend." Turmagar started to say. "It wasn't your fault that this all happened."
"I know I know it is just driving me crazy with guilt about what I had to do to try and save the woman I love." Wheeler stated.
"Wheeler, you shouldn't be sorry about caring for someone with all of your heart. What you have with Linka is very special and should be cherished for every moment that you can make with her." Tygra stated.
"Besides, we'll have her back to the lair in no time so just keep thinking of that Wheeler." Lion-O stated.
"Thanks guys. Now I just hope that everyone else back at the lair won't be too mad at me for what I did to get here and try to help save Linka and the rest of you." Wheeler stated with a little sadness in his voice.
"If you are still worried about how the others will respond to your tactics, then you should know that anyone in the same position would just about do the same thing." Panthro stated as the tank started to approach the surface and the Hovercat.
"I just don't think that they would lie and steal from their new friends." Wheeler responded.
"If you are worried that we won't forgive you for what you have done, then you are surely wrong about everything Wheeler." Tygra stated.
"He's right Wheeler." Lion-O started to say. "You are part of our family now and we all understand why you did what you did."
"But I believe that what I did goes against your code of Thundera." Wheeler retorted.
"The code is what guides us, but it can also be defined in many ways that are not from Thundera." Tygra replied.
"He's right my friend." Turmagar started to say. "What you did for the woman you love is no more important then how the Thundercats would react for the people of Third Earth."
"Wheeler, perhaps you should continue telling your tale before we reach the Hovercat and contact the lair. At least this way we will know what happens next." Lion-O stated, hoping to change the subject.
"That sounds like a good idea my friend." Turmagar started to say. "Please Wheeler continue with the story."
"All right you guys win but after we get back to the Hovercat, I want to be the one to contact the lair and let them know what happened." Wheeler stated.
"Wheeler, when we get there, you can contact them from the tank's radio. I know that you don't want to leave Linka's side." Tygra stated.
"Thanks Tygra." Wheeler replied.
As the tank was rapidly approaching the Hovercat, Wheeler started to continue his story from when the Planeteers were just about to enter the vehicle for the Back to the future ride.
As the doors opened in the small room, the Planeteers all saw what looks like a mock up of the time traveling machine that they all saw on the video messages from Doctor Brown. As they entered the room they all started to hear the Doc's voice as they approached the vehicle. Once they got to either side, all eight of them sat down Wheeler and Linka in the back while Kwami, Ma-Ti and Gi all sat in the front. Once the other three people took their seats as well, the large hand bar started to come down, securing everyone in the seats. Once everyone was secure, the big metal doors started to close and seal up the vehicle up tight.
As the ride started to come alive, they heard the voice of Doctor Brown once again, but this time he was on a small TV screen that was part of the ride. He explained that the eight person Delorean had a built in tracking device that can be used to track any other vehicle traveling in time. Once the ride started the ride's time circuits came on as the vehicle started to accelerate up to 88 miles per hour breaking through the time stream and ending up in Hill Valley in the year 2015.
Once in the future, they all saw Biff in the stolen time machine start to hover and fly away causing their machine to start and pursuit him. As Biff tried to avoid them or more precisely try to force the others into an accident that would leave them helpless. As they continued, the group was forced into a giant Texaco T sign causing some damage to everyone around the block but not to them, then they were trying to avoid being hit by other flying cars. As the chase continued, Biff forced them into the top of the Courthouse's clock tower just as he started to move away into another area of time. As the group started to go into the top of the Courthouse's clock face, the Delorean activated the time circuits once again transporting them 1,000,000 years into the past.
As they continued to follow Biff in the stolen Delorean, he led the group into an underground cavern system made completely of solid ice. As both vehicles started to go through, the vibrations from both engines started to make the whole area become unstable. As the chase continued, ice from the roof started to come down as Biff was playing cat and mouse with Doc's new toy. Once they both managed to reach the surface, Biff was able to time travel again while the others started to fall. It seems that somehow the engines within the new prototype started to stall out and lost all power to the motor functions. As the vehicle started to fall down, Doc was some how able to restart the engines from his remote control and started to do a reverse time travel jump while the vehicle was moving backwards. After reaching the allotted speed needed to escape and time travel again, they were able to catch up to Biff who was now in the Primeval era of Hill Valley.
Once they got their bearings about their new location, they all saw that Biff was flying towards an active volcano. As they continued to follow Biff, they entered another series of underground passageways leading under the volcano. As they continued the chase, they all saw that Biff was trying to persuade a T-Rex dinosaur into attacking the eight person time machine. Within moments after getting the Dino's attention, the dinosaur used its mighty jaw like mouth and collided with biff causing him to spin out of control and start to plummet down into the depths of the cavern. As Biff went down, the Dino started to shift it's attention back towards the other the eight person Delorean and tried to eat the car. Fortunately the T-Rex didn't like the taste of the time machine and spit us right out also falling down into the depths of the cavern. Once we hit the bottom we discovered it was a lake of hot water but also heading towards a giant pool of lava right under the volcano. As we started to get closer to the edge, the doc was able to restart the engines and accelerate us to 88 miles per hour, but before we could return back we bumped Biff's car and that impact activated the time circuits and caused both cars to return to the Institute's loading bay.
Once we arrived at the loading bay, medical as well as technicians and security arrived to make sure that there wasn't any damage done to both the vehicles and the people riding inside it. As Biff got out of the car, he started to thank us for saving his life just as security officers placed him under arrest for stealing the time machine. As he was being taken away, Biff started to yell out nasty language just as another technician started to douse us with a fire extinguisher. As the tech finished up, the ride came to a complete stop and the big metal doors on both sides of the ride opened up as the arm bar also moved away. As we all got up, everyone was so excited from our experience that we all laughed a little as we exited the building.
"That was a fun ride!" Gi said with excitement in her voice.
"Da, it was a interesting ride." Linka added.
"It is a good thing that it was only a ride." Kwami started to say. "I hate for that to be a real problem for us in the future."
"I don't think that we will have to worry about that for a very long time Kwami." Wheeler responded.
Wheeler knew it was only a ride but he also remembered his own experiences with time traveling. Shortly after becoming a Planeteer, Wheeler was thinking about what his life would have been like if he had never received his ring from Gaia. He was such in a bad mood about his plans for throwing the other Planeteers a New York style New Year's Eve bash were ruined after hearing that they had to stop Blight and Greedly from going back in time to completely destroy the Earth's environment. After being trapped with Blight in her ice Laboratory, she tricked Wheeler by sending him back in time to stop himself from receiving the ring so that he would not die in the ice cave-in. The result was not what he had expected. He thought by stopping himself from accepting the ring that he would be safe and that Gaia would choose another teenager to become the Planeteer of fire, but instead all of what he knows started to change. It suddenly got hotter in New York and the Polar Ice Caps started to melt away causing major flooding in most coastal cities. Most of the world's forest and trees were almost completely destroyed and wiped out, the animals were also being killed by pollution and poachers. He thought that the Planeteers would be able to stop all of this from happening but without the fifth ring, the Planeteers all went their separate ways. Even after Wheeler traveled 25 years into the future to see all that had happened, he couldn't believe how much his friends have changed. They were all 25 years older and mostly cared about their own personal problems. After seeing all the damage of what he had caused, Wheeler was sent back to the point where he changed the future and restored the timeline, thus returning everything back to the way it was before the change.
As they all exited the building, Linka noticed that Wheeler was deep in thought after what they all went through on the ride.
"You OK Yankee?" Linka asked.
"Yea, I'm just fine babe." Wheeler responded while looking into Linka's beautiful eyes.
"You had me worried there for a moment. Why did you space out like that?" Linka asked.
"Just deep in thought." Wheeler responded.
"Just don't have any of those "nasty thoughts" Yankee." Linka added.
"Don't worry babe, I save those for special occasions." Wheeler replied while lifting one of his eyebrows.
"You never change do you Wheeler." Linka stated.
"Not when it comes to you babe." Wheeler replied as they all caught up with the others.
As both Linka and Wheeler joined up with the others, Gi had what looked like a sneaky look on her face.
"Are the two of you done making out yet?" Gi stated.
"Very funny Gi." Linka responded as they all laughed a bit.
"Come on everyone, we still have one more Haunted house to go into." Ma-Ti stated.
"Ma-Ti is right so girls, which one do you want to do?" Kwami asked as he took out the park map.
"I say we should do this one." Gi stated as she pointed towards the house near their last ride.
"Da, this one sounds safe enough to me." Linka stated as she saw the name of the house.
"Sounds like a plan then." Wheeler started to say. "Let's get moving then."
"I agree with Wheeler. We should get moving." Ma-Ti added as they all started to walk towards the house.
As they reached the House's entrance queue line, the sign above the entrance gave Linka a bit of a chill. The sign said "Worlds Worst Horrors in 3D" and it started to make Linka more nervous then after the other houses that they had all went through.
"Linka, are you alright my friend?" Kwami asked when he saw the almost sign of terror on Linka's face.
"I can't do this, not again!" Linka stated with panic in her voice.
"Linka babe, you have to calm down." Wheeler stated while he started holding both of Linka's hands with his own. "Everything will be just fine, remember they can't hurt us."
"I know you said that it is all fake but I can't do this anymore.!" Linka stated almost screaming.
"Wheeler, let me talk to Linka alone for a moment." Ma-Ti said as Wheeler let go of her hands. "Come with me Linka and we can have a quick chat alone."
As Linka and Ma-Ti walked off for a moment, Wheeler was unsure of what he had seen in Linka tonight. He always knew that Linka couldn't show how she was feeling towards him and when they go on their Planeteer missions, but this time she almost worried Wheeler and the others to the point of quitting the team. Wheeler hadn't seen her like this ever since that incident with her cousin Boris and Skumm. He promised himself that he would do anything it took to help Linka get over what had happened to her cousin and to make sure that it would never happen again.
"Are you alright Linka?" Ma-Ti asked in his usual kind voice.
"Da Ma-Ti ,I am fine." Linka responded.
"What happened to you over there? We had never seen you act like that before, not even on missions."
"Da, I am sorry for what happened, I just couldn't control myself after I saw the name of the Haunted House up close."
"It is OK Linka, but you do have to remember that no matter what the house is called, that we will not be harmed in anyway."
"I do now and I am sorry for how I reacted."
"It is alright Linka, now lets go rejoin the others. I'm sure that Wheeler is more worried about you then the rest of us are."
"You are probably right about that Ma-Ti. I think that I had better apologize to him right away."
"Is everything alright now Linka?" Gi asked with some concern as both Linka and Ma-Ti rejoined the group.
"Da, everything is just fine now." Linka responded.
"Linka, I have to apologize for what happened to you. I made a promise to myself that I would never let you feel sad for any reason after what happened to your cousin Boris and I feel that I broke that promise." Wheeler stated with almost tears coming from his eyes.
"Could you all excuse us for a moment, we'll catch up in just a moment or two." Linka asked.
"Of course my friends, we will wait for you at the checkpoint towards the house." Kwami stated as the rest of the group went into the express line for the house.
"Wheeler, you did not do anything wrong." Linka started to say while looking into Wheeler's eyes. "I am flattered that you wanted to keep me from feeling sad about what happened to Boris, but you also have to know that what happens to me isn't your fault."
"I know it is just that I really care for you and I don't want anything bad to ever happen to you ever again." Wheeler responded.
"Yankee, thanks for caring about me. You always seem to let your feelings show even thou I can't."
"Linka, you may not be able to let your feeling show in the normal way but you do and I am always happy to see that."
"Thanks Wheeler." Linka responded almost blushing. "Um…. we should probability rejoin the others in the line. I don't want Gi to think that we are making out again."
"Good idea." Wheeler responded as they both entered the express line while laughing a little.
As they started to walk down the line, they all saw that the others were waiting for them at the checkpoint to scan their passes for the house.
"Did you find a nice romantic spot to chat guys?" Gi stated with a sneaky smile across her face once they joined them.
"Not now Gi." Wheeler stated as he started to show the passes to the security guard.
"Sorry Wheeler, I didn't mean any harm by that." Gi responded.
"I'm sorry as well Gi. I didn't mean to get mad at you." Wheeler stated as the passes were being scanned.
"You are all good to continue." The security guard stated." Just remember to pick up your 3D-Glasses before you enter the house."
After the guard's statement, the Planeteers all continued to walk down the line until they all came up to a giant sound stage all blown up with lots of cardboard decorations around it. As they approached the entrance to the house they were each handed a cardboard pair of 3D-glasses that they were told to put on before they entered the house.
"Wheeler, after this house can we talk for a moment?" Linka asked as they approached the entrance to the house.
"Sure thing babe, anything you want to talk about." Wheeler responded as they entered the house.
Just as what the guard said before they entered, they all put on their 3D-Glasses and were completely UN-prepared for what awaited them inside the house. As they entered the glasses that they were wearing made everything inside start to come to life. They saw a sign that read "ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE" written in blood like letters, but with the glasses on it looked like the message was dripping down. As they continued onward, they saw zombies coming out of nowhere as well as going through what looked like a make shift graveyard with more zombies popping out at random. In one particular location they saw dead soldiers wielding what looked like machine guns coming straight towards them. Linka was so scared that she almost broke Wheeler's right hand when she started to hold it for protection from what she was seeing. As they were nearly done, they came out of the house, but entered into what looks like some kind of metal fence maze. As they continued through the maze, more zombies and more dead soldiers continued to pop out of nowhere completely catching everyone off guard. As they approached the exit, everyone was still so full of energy after being scared so good.
"Now that is what I call a good way to end the night my friends." Kwami stated.
"I agree with you and I think that we should start to head back to Hope Island." Ma-Ti added.
"OK guys a deal is a deal after all." Wheeler responded. "But first, do you want anything to remember this night from the gift shop?"
"I do and I can't wait to see what they have to offer." Gi stated with glee.
"If Gi is going to look at clothes, then we may be here longer then we hope to be." Kwami thought.
As they started to walk back towards the main entrance, they all started to enter another scare zone completely full of people dressed like dead trees and giant bird like creatures. Needless to say that the Planeteers were still having a wonderful time at the horror night event. Even Linka, now finally not showing much fear from all of the houses started to enjoy herself as well as the creatures started to come up to all of them and she didn't even flinch. Wheeler was most happy of all of the Planeteers that Linka was finally enjoying herself and the look of fun on her face was just what he needed to see tonight.
As they passed through the scare zone, they all started to head back towards the main entrance and started to head straight towards the gift shop before they left the park for the night. When they arrived at the shop, everyone, especially Gi couldn't believe what they were selling in regards to souvenirs to that they could buy. There was T-shirts with horror designs on them in celebration of the event, coffee cups, little key chains as well as other items that most people could by. Gi just couldn't wait to get started to look around.
"All right everyone, we will be here for about 15 minutes, then we have to leave." Kwami stated as they entered the shop.
"That sounds good to me. It will take us about 5 - 6 hours to get back to Hope Island." Ma-Ti added.
"Then let's get started and see what they have." Gi stated as they all started to enter the gift shop.
"Wheeler, a moment please?" Linka said as she grabbed Wheeler by the arm and stopped him from going into the store.
"What is it babe?" Wheeler asked with curiosity.
"Wheeler, on the return trip back to Hope Island, may I fly home with you. I really need to discuss something very important with you." Linka asked.
"Sure thing babe, besides I want to spend some time alone with you as well." Wheeler replied.
"You do?" Linka replied while blushing.
"Yes I do, but for now, let's see what we can get before we start to return home." Wheeler stated.
"Da, you have a deal Yankee." Linka replied as they both entered the store.
About 15 - 20 minutes later, the Planeteers all left the park with shopping bags in hands heading back towards the parking structure where both the Geo-Cruiser and Eco-Copter were waiting for them. Wheeler decided to buy some shirts for himself and Linka, Linka also insisted that they both buy a shirt for her brother back home in Russia. Gi, couldn't decide what to get so she bought a hat and shirt to celebrate her fun at the park. Ma-Ti and Kwami also decided to buy some shirts for themselves and also to get a shirt and hat for Gaia to let her know that they appreciated the down time. As they approached the parking structure, they all started to go back up the stairs towards the roof where they had left both of their vehicles.
"Kwami, I want to go back with Linka in the Cruiser. We have some things to discuss." Wheeler stated as the reached the roof.
"Of course my friend. By the way thanks for a wonderful surprise." Kwami replied.
"Yes it was very interesting my friend. I can't wait to try this again one day." Ma-Ti added.
"Are the two of you going to be making out all the way back to the Island?" Gi asked with a sneaky smile.
"Bosha moi Gi, I am going to get you for that remark." Linka stated as she was about to go after Gi until Wheeler held her by her waist.
"Gi, Linka and I have some important things to discuss in private. So we will meet you all back on Hope Island." Wheeler replied while holding Linka's waist.
"All right Wheeler, sorry for my comment from before." Gi stated
"It is alright Gi, we will see you soon." Wheeler said as he let go of Linka and gave Gi a hug before she headed towards the Eco-Copter.
"Kwami, Ma-Ti we will join you shortly back home." Wheeler stated.
"We expect to see you soon my friends." Kwami replied.
"Yes, please don't keep us waiting for long." Ma-Ti added before they both headed towards the Eco-Copter.
"Don't worry, we'll be just fine." Linka stated as she and Wheeler saw the rest of the Planeteers board the Eco-Copter and takeoff.
Once the other Planeteers left in the Eco-Copter, Linka was still feeling a little uneasy being left with Wheeler alone while he was going to start the Geo-Cruiser's pre systems check.
"Wheeler, can I talk to you for a moment before we start to head back?" Linka asked as she stopped Wheeler from heading towards the vehicle.
"Sure thing babe, what is on your mind?" Wheeler asked.
While Wheeler was wondering what Linka wanted to talk about, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful her yellow hair looked as the moon came out from the clouds and started to shine.
"Wheeler, what you did for us, that was very sweet of you and I just don't know how to thank you." Linka stated.
"Babe, seeing the look on your face as well as the others was all the thanks I needed." Wheeler replied.
"There is something else I wish to give you Yankee." Linka stated as she walked closer to Wheeler.
"Sounds very important to you." Wheeler replied as he held her with his arms.
"It is. I wanted to give you this." She said as she and Wheeler both shared a very passionate kiss between them.
"Linka, we should be heading back soon, we don't want to give Gi any more ideas about what is happening between us." Wheeler stated after releasing himself from the kiss.
"You…you're probability right about that Yankee." Linka responded.
"Besides, we could always continue this at another time when we are back home and we're completely alone."
"I'd like that Yankee, and maybe you can help me to try and show my feelings a little more often."
"It would be my pleasure, now we had better get going." Wheeler stated as they both climbed into the Geo-Cruiser and started to fly back towards Hope Island to catch up with the rest of the Planeteers.
As Wheeler finished his story, the Thundertank had reached the location where the Hovercat had been waiting.
"That was some story Wheeler." Tygra stated.
"Yes it makes us wonder if maybe we would visit your home one day." Panthro added.
"How about you guys try to get us home first and then maybe you can come and visit us." Wheeler stated as they all started to chuckle.
"Wheeler, we really should contact the lair and have Bengali prepare the antidote for Linka." Tygra stated.
"Thanks for reminding me Tygra, how is Linka doing anyway?" Wheeler responded.
After that question, Tygra took out the portable medical scanner and started to scan Linka once again. "According to these readings, she seems to be a lot better then the last time, but we really should get her back right away."
"Turmagar, why don't you fly the Hovercat back to the lair while we contact them to get everything ready." Lion-O asked.
"It would be an honor to fly back one of your vehicles my friend." Turmagar responded.
"Are you sure that you can handle the Hovercat Turmagar? I had a little difficulty flying it here." Wheeler stated.
"Don't worry my friend." Turmagar started to say. "The Thundercats showed me how to fly it before you and the other Planeteers arrived just in case of something like this happening."
"I have to say, you Thundercats are always prepared for any emergency." Wheeler stated.
"We have to be in order to help everyone on Third Earth." Lion-O stated as Turmagar climbed out of the tank and into the cockpit of the Hovercat.
"Here Wheeler, you should have the honors." Panthro stated as he handed Wheeler the Thundertank's radio transmitter.
"Thanks Panthro." Wheeler replied as Lion-O turned on the radio. "Thundertank to Cat's Lair Come in Cat's Lair."
After a moment of silence, Wheeler tried again to reach the Lair. "Thundertank to Cat's Lair Come in Cat's Lair. We have a medical emergency here."
After another moment the radio started to come alive.
"This is Cat's Lair Thundertank, Cheetara here."
"Cheetara, this is Wheeler, tell Bengali to prep the medical bay for a medical emergency right away."
"Right away Thundertank, Cheetara out."
After another moment another voice started to come through the radio on the Thundertank.
"Wheeler, this is Gi, who is the medical emergency for?" The voice said.
"Gi, it is for Linka, she has been poisoned by a spider and we have to give her the antidote right away." Wheeler responded.
"HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN WHEELER!" Gi started to scream.
"Wheeler, let me talk to Gi quickly." Lion-O stated.
"Alright Lion-O, here you go." Wheeler replied as he handed Lion-O the mic.
"Gi, this is Lion-O, please have Bengali prep the medical bay and meet us outside the Lair. We will explain everything to everyone once we get there."
"Alright Lion-O, we will see you shortly." The voice said as the radio went quiet.
"Thanks Lion-O, I knew that Gi would be mad but not that mad." Wheeler stated.
"She'll calm down once we explain everything to everyone." Tygra stated.
"How long till we reach the lair Panthro?" Lion-O asked.
"About 10 minutes." Panthro replied.
"Please hold on Linka. I need you more then ever now in my life." Wheeler said as a tear started to show in his eyes. "I love you Linka, please come back to me." Wheeler finished as the Thundertank started to head back towards the lair and the rest of their teams.
