As preparations to launch the Thundercats Feliner continued, back in his Dark Pyramid, Mumm-Ra has just finished hearing the plan made out by his newest ally in evil. As Wheeler went back to the other Eco-Villains, the eternal mummy in his blood red cloak and hood started to have a much sadistic grin on his face as well as his eyes glowing red.
"Wheeler, that plan you have told me about is brilliant and yet so simple." The mummy started to say. "Those stupid Thundercats won't be able to resist but to fall into our trap."
"And then we can stop them once and for all right dude?" Pollution stated.
"Yes my impatient friend, then we can stop them all for good."
"That's great, but do you have any pollution available for me. I'm feeling a little weak and I can't seem to find a pick me up anywhere around here."
"I see." Mumm-Ra stated in most evilest tone. "You need darkness in your system to survive eh."
"If you mean by pollution then yes I do dude."
"Come with me." Mumm-Ra stated as he gestured Captain Pollution to his casket.
"No…. No thanks dude. I'm not a fan of very small spaces." Pollution replied in a frightened tone as they both approached the casket.
"Now listen here you fool." Mumm-Ra started to say in an angered tone. "IF YOU WANT TO GET BETTER THEN YOU BETTER STEP INSIDE! NOW!"
"Y..Y.. Yes sir." Pollution replied in a really scared tone as he entered the casket.
As Pollution entered the sarcophagus, the evil version of Captain Planet was unprepared for what was about to happen next. As the lid closed in front of him, Pollution felt like he was in a type of black limbo, until he started to feel something strange happen to him. As he remained motionless, he started to feel as if he was being bombarded by beams of pure dark energy. As these beams continued to strike, Pollution's energy started to rise and he started to feel stronger than he had ever felt before. After a moment, all of beams finally stopped as the lid finally opened to release him.
As Pollution started to remove himself from his stone prison, Zarm, Wheeler and Mumm-Ra were waiting to see if the procedure had worked.
"How do you feel now my lackey?" Mumm-Ra asked with much concern for his ally in evil.
"Dude, I don't know what you did to me, but I feel much stronger than I have ever felt in my life." Pollution stated as he finally went to his feet. "What ever you did to me worked great. I feel like I can destroy those puny Thundercatrs and those Eco-Brats all by myself."
"Let's not be so hasty Pollution." Zarm started to say. "We don't know how long you are going to feel like this. We need to plan according."
"Agreed. We should start the plan when the Thundercats and those Planeteers are most vulnerable." Wheeler added.
"We shall by attacking their allies here on Third Earth." Mumm-Ra stated.
"Yes but like I said before, we should do a little divide and conquer. Plus it wouldn't hurt to really stick it to them as well. We need someone who can burrow into solid rock and cause some damage." Wheeler stated in his most evilest tone.
"Ah my friend, I have the perfect person for that mission." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to approach his cauldron with his allies in tow. "DRILLER ANCIENT BORROW OF THE EARTH, MUMM-RA SUMMONS YOU TO APPEAR BEFORE ME!" The mummy yells into the air.
"Um dude, why are you doing that?" Pollution asked with wonder and confusion.
"Watch and learn my friend and sees what develops." Mumm-Ra replied as they all were about to get a big surprise.
As Zarm, Wheeler and Pollution watched, a kind of small twister started to appear at the far side of the Pyramid's inner chamber. As they all continued to watch, the small twister started to get closer and then started to change form. As the twister continued to change, Zarm, Wheeler and Pollution started to see a metal type drill bit spinning at the base where it's legs should be as well as a metallic body and head with green eyes and a diamond tip on the top of it's head.
"Welcome Driller." Mumm-Ra stated at his newest guest.
"Uhhh, you better have a good reason for summoning me Mumm-Ra." Driller stated in an anguished tone.
"Silence Driller. I have summoned you for a mission."
"A mission? That last mission you gave me I almost lost all of the diamonds you gave me as payment. Why should I accept another mission from you?"
"I will pay you double the diamonds for your services. You and I both know that you need diamonds to keep your drills sharp so that they will not dull."
"Yes. First my diamonds and then we shall talk. By the way, who are these intruders?"
"INTRUDERS! OF ALL THE NONSENSE THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD-!" Zarm started to yell.
"SILENCE ZARM!" Mumm-Ra shouted back before talking again in his much more calmer tone. "These are my new allies in evil." He added as he started to gestured to Wheeler, Zarm and Pollution. "This one has a plan to destroy the Thundercats and their newest allies once and for all." Mumm-Ra stated while pointing to Wheeler.
"You have told me about your plans for years Mumm-Ra." Driller started to say in a disappointing tone. "Why should this plan work better than the last ones?"
"Because Driller, if I'm correct, I have the perfect plan to destroy them and it is so simple that even a moron could do it." Wheeler stated while looking at Zarm and Pollution.
"Watch it Wheeler. I don't like being annoyed. " Zarm replied as he started to send Wheeler a look of anger from his face.
"I like this newest ally of yours Mumm-Ra. He is honest in a way that I haven't seen in a long time, but about my payment."
"Of course Driller. To the treasure room." Mumm-Ra stated as all five of them started to leave the inner chamber into another part of the Pyramid.
As Mumm-Ra started to lead the others from the inner chamber of his Black Pyramid, Driller was starting to wonder if he might have made a mistake accepting Mumm-Ra's offer to help. As the group started to enter another chamber, both Zarm and Pollution were almost in a state of shock when they both saw Mumm-Ra's Treasure room. As the group entered, shiny pieces of gold and diamonds started to sparkle with intense reflection from the torch flames that ignited when the group entered. A moment afterwards Mumm-Ra reached down to the ground and picked up a small handfull of shiny and sharpened diamonds.
"Here is some of your payment Driller." Mumm-Ra stated as he placed some of the Diamonds in the machine man's metal hands.
"This is not what we agreed to Mumm-Ra." Driller started to say after looking at the diamonds. "You said you were gonna give me double the normal amount."
"You will get the rest after you have completed your task Driller, and not before."
"Mumm-Ra may I speak with you in private." Wheeler asked while seeing Driller's face in anger.
"What do you want?" Mumm-Ra asked while the two of them were in another section of the treasure room.
"Maybe it is not a good idea to make Driller mad at you. If he wants more then give him more but just enough to satisfy him for now." Wheeler replied in a more honest and calm demeanor.
"Perhaps you are right, I need all of the allies I can get at the moment." Mumm-Ra replied as they both started to rejoin the others.
"Driller my friend, I have reconsidered your request about the Diamonds that you require as payment." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to grab another small handful of diamonds. "This should suffice, but no more until your mission is complete."
"Fine." Driller replied with a less angered tone. "What is my mission o mighty Mumm-Ra?"
"I will explain it to you Driller." Wheeler stated as he started to explain his plan to Driller.
As Wheeler started to explain his plan of attack to Driller, Mumm-Ra started to have a smirk go across his face, as if he was enjoying what was happening in his home. A moment later he started to think to himself.
"I never thought that turning one of their own to my side would be so easy. This person called Wheeler is starting to prove more of an asset then I once thought, but I need to make sure that he doesn't regain his memories. I need to increase his exposure to my dark powers in order to keep him my servant." The mummy thought as Wheeler finished telling Driller his plan.
"That sounds like an excellent plan." Driller replied. "I can't wait to get started."
"Now all we need is the right opportunity and then we strike." Wheeler stated as they all started to leave Mumm-Ra's Treasure room and back towards the main chamber.
As the group finally re-entered Mumm-Ra's main chamber, the blood red cloak mummy approached his cauldron while at the same time waving his arms around to see what was going on with his enemies. Within moments an image from inside the Cat's Lair started to appear.
"Now let's see what our enemies are up to." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to see something interesting begin to unfold.
As Mumm-Ra and his allies in evil were starting their discussion, back inside the Cat's Lair, Wilykit and Wilykat were still keeping an eye on the Planeteers in the medical bay to make sure that they all get some much needed rest.
"Wilykit, can I ask you something?" Kwami asked with wonder.
"Sure thing Kwami. What is it?" Wilykit replied.
"When did you and your brother become Thundercats anyway?"
"I was kinda wondering about that myself. I mean not to be rude but aren't you both a little young to be Thundercats." Gi added while trying not to hurt the kitten's feelings.
"You're not being rude Gi." Wilykat started to say. "Actually Wilykit and myself wondered about that ourselves."
"Really?" Kwami stated with wonder in his tone.
"Yes. When Jaga first chose us to join him on the main ship we didn't understand why, then when he explained the situation to us we couldn't say no." Wilykit stated with a proud tone in her voice.
"Sis is right about it. When Jaga gave us our clothing and capsules we were ready for anything that was to happen to us, but we still didn't know exactly how to use our capsules at first." Wilykat stated with honesty in his tone.
"You see sometimes my brother and I feel left out all of the action. Every time the grown-ups go out on a mission we always get stuck with boring guard duty. It was always like this every now and then, and we couldn't stand it much longer." Wilykit stated with a proud yet saddened tone in her voice.
"So what did you do?" Gi asked with some wonder.
"Well my brother had an idea to runaway and to make them worry about us." Wilykit started to say. I thought it was a dumb plan but I went along with it."
"We almost got ourselves killed but then a helpful creature named Kudi found us and helped us out." Wilykat started to say while starting to feel a little sad. "
"Afterwards we wanted to invite her to our home for a while, but then we discovered that Mumm-Ra had taken her form to try and destroy us."
"After that we thought that the Thundercats would never trust us again." Wilykit stated.
"So what happened afterwards?" Kwami asked.
"Afterwards, we tracked Kudi down and apologized for everything but then the Thundercats found us and told us something important."
"What was that?" Gi asked with wonder.
"They all told us that they do trust us and that we are important to the team, but they never told us before. After that things started to change and we started to be treated a little better." Wilykat stated in a much more happy tone in his voice.
"Well I'm glad that they told you how important you are to the team." Gi stated while trying to move. "Now maybe you can help me off this bed so that I can help too."
"Nice try Gi, but you are staying putt." Wilykit replied in her most honest tone.
"Yes, nice try Gi." Kwami added as they all started to laugh a little.
As they were all enjoying their little laughing fit, the noise started to have an effect on another person inside the medical bay. As the sounds of laughter continued to emanate, on her own Bio-Bed another sleeping beauty was about to be awoken.
As she started to feel motion to her eye lids and her hands, Linka has finally started to awaken after her long ordeal from the battle and her operation. As she started to open her eyes, she also started to rise up from her chest to see what was going on. As she finally risen like a phoenix being re-born, the wind Planeteer started to speak.
"What is so funny guys?" Liunka asked with wonder as everyone started to shift their attention towards the Wind Planeteer.
"LINKA! WELCOME BACK!" They all yelled as Wilykit and Wilykat started to approach Linka's bed.
"How are you feeling Linka?" Wilykit asked with some concern.
"Are you OK?" Wilykat added.
"Wilykit, Wilykat, give Linka a moment to get her bearings. She has been through a lot." Kwami stated while noticing that something was on Linka's mind.
"Sorry Linka." Both kittens stated in their most apologized tone.
"Da. It is alright." Linkla started to say. "I'm just glad to finally wake up. You wouldn't believe the dreams that I had."
"You'd be surprised about that." Gi stated while trying not to be rude.
"Linka, I hate to ask you this, but what was the last thing that you remembered." Wilykit asked while her brother went to get a small medical scanner.
"What I last remembered?" Linka replied in a confused tone. "What I remember is… Oh no….. I … I …. I remember everything." Linka stated as tears started to form on her face.
"Linka?" Kwami started to say. "Are you alright?"
"No Kwami, I am not alright!" Linka shouted back. "How could he do that to us. How could he betray Gaia and our family like that?! What was he thinking?!"
"Linka you must calm down." Wilykit stated while her brother returned with a small medical scanner and a hypo to calm down Linka.
"I will not calm down! When I find that Yankee husband of mine I am going to-" Linka started to say before Wilykat used the hypo on her neck. "Wilykat…. What …..did…you …do …to …..me?" She stated before passing out back on the bed.
"Sorry about doing that to your friend guys but she has to calm down." Wilykat stated while a small smirk appeared on Gi's face.
"Gi." Kwami stated while noticing the smirk on the Water Planeteer's face.
"What? Now you know how I felt when that happened to me." Gi retorted back.
"This is not the time or place for snappy comebacks Gi. We need Linka calm and aware of everything." Kwami stated while looking at Wilykat. "Wilykat, can you revive her?"
"I would but I can't." Wilykat replied in his most honest tone. "Bengali told me that if anyone needed to be revived to wait for him to return. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. You are just following orders from your resident doctor." Gi stated while starting to struggle a little.
"Gi, don't make me use the restraining system on your bed." Wilykit stated as Gi stopped in her tracks.
"Nice job Wilykit." Kwami stated while everyone chuckled a little.
As everyone started to laugh, Lion-O, Bengali and Cheetara started to enter the medical bay. After a few moments Lion-O started to speak to the others.
"Is everything going alright here?" Lion-O asked with some wonder.
"Lion-O, great news Linka woke up." Wilykit stated as Lion-O and the others looked at Linka.
"Are you sure Wilykit? She still looks asleep to us." Bengali replied.
"Wilykit was correct. She was awake but then Wilykat had to sedate her." Kwami stated while trying not to get Wilykat in trouble.
"Wilykat, is that true? Cheetara asked with wonder in her tone.
"It is true everyone." Wilykat started to say in his most honest tone. "I had to, Linka was starting to get angry and lashing out at everyone. Please don't be mad Bengali, I only did what you told us to do in case of an emergency." The young Thundercat stated as Bengali approached him.
"You did the right thing Wilykat." Bengali stated as he started to get a hypo to revive Linka.
"I'm proud of both of you." Lion-O stated.
"You are?" Both kittens replied at the same time.
"Yes. You took your responsibilities to the letter. Nice work both of you." Lion-O stated as he went down to his knees so both the kittens can give him a hug.
"Thank you Lion-O." Wilykit stated.
"Same here." Wilykat added.
"I am so proud of both of you as well." Cheetara stated as she started to take a seat on the empty Bio-Bed.
"Cheetara, is everything alright?" Gi asked while seeing the Cheetah Thundercat start to lay down.
"Bengali just needs to run some tests on Cheetara, but she should be fine." Lion-O stated to the others as the kittens released him and went back to his feet.
As Lion-O finished his sentence, he started to wonder if he did the right thing not telling the others the real reason why Cheetara is in the medical bay. After a moment, the Lord of the Thundercats took in a deep breath before continuing to speak with his friends.
"Bengali, I think that Linka would want to hear what I have to say as well." Lion-O started to say as he turned his attention towards the medical Thundercat. "Would you please revive her, but do it very carefully, she might still be angry after what happened."
"Of course Lion-O." Bengali replied as he started to whisper something in Wilykit's left ear.
After whispering in the kitten's ear, Wilykit took the hypo and started to administer the medication onto Linka's neck. A few moments later, the Wind Planeteer started to open her eyes again before starting to rise her body off the bed. After a few moments Linka started to speak.
"Wha… What happened?" Linka stated with a little confusion in her tone.
"Sorry about earlier Linka." Wilykat started to say in his most honest tone. "You weren't feeling well so I had to sedate you."
"Wilykat, you did the right thing." Linka replied while still feeling the after effect of the hypo. "I'm sorry for lashing out at you and your sister."
"And what about us Linka?" Gi asked.
"Da. You and Kwami as well. I just couldn't believe what happened on the battlefield."
"Ma-Ti told us that you saw Wheeler attacking us from inside your mind." Kwami stated with an honest tone.
"Da. I just couldn't believe it for myself."
"You should know Linka that Mumm-Ra has placed a very strong spell on your friend. That is why he attacked us." Lion-O replied.
"Is there anything that you can do to help us?"
"Panthro and Tygra are preparing the Feliner for launch to New Thundera even as we speak. We are hoping that the Guardian of the Book of Omens might have a way to save your friend."
"Then we are coming with you to New Thundera." Kwami stated as a small voice started to speak from behind the others.
"No one is going anywhere without eating a proper meal." The voice stated as everyone started to shift their attention to the source of the voice.
As everyone started to shift their attention, they all started to see Snarf, Snarfer come in with a big tray of food with their Wollo and Bulkin friends as well. As the small group finally entered to medical bay, the smell and aroma of the meals cooked started to get everyone's attention, but just for a moment.
"Snarf, what is all of this?" Lion-O started to say. "I haven't seen this much food since the Anointment Trials."
"Brrrr. I figured that since they were all on bed rest that I bring the food to them." Snarf replied.
"And I wanted to help out as well. I sort of feel a bit useless since the tower was destroyed." Snarfer stated while feeling a little sad.
"Snarfer, it wasn't your fault, and once we help rescue Wheeler we will re- build the Tower of Omens better than before." Lion-O stated while seeing the Bulkin and the Wollo start to pass out the plates of food to the Planeteers.
"I hope you will enjoy it." The Bulkin stated as he gave the plate full of food to Gi.
"Thank you." Gi replied as she and Kwami each took their plates of food.
"Here Linka." Snarfer started to say. "I helped uncle Snarf make this dish for you. I hope you like it."
"Thank you Snarfer." Linka replied as she started to take the plate of food. "This looks and smells delicious."
"I hope you enjoy it. It was a recipe I got when Uncle Snarf and I went to visit our family and friends on the Planet of Snarfs."
"You mean there is a whole planet of you furry creatures?" Kwami stated while trying not to be rude. "I'm sorry I didn't mean any offense by what I said."
"It is alright Kwami." Snarfer started to say. "It is a bit much that there is a planet full of us out there, but it was because we didn't have any choice."
"Any choice?" Gi started to say. "What do you mean by that?"
"You see Gi, the Snarfs always lived with the Thundercats on Thundera right up until the end of our home. Our family and friends escaped the holocaust and landed on an planet that can support life. That's when the planet was called the Planet of Snarfs."
"Have you ever been there?" Gi asked with wonder.
"I was going to live there when the other Thundercats were going to bring my nephew home."
"So why didn't you go?"
"I couldn't leave Lion-O and the others alone. They have become my family and it just wouldn't be right for me to leave."
"On that day, I really thought you were going to leave us." Lion-O started to say. "But I'm glad you changed your mind about all of it."
"Same here Lion-O, but now we need to get the rest of the team back to feeling better, so you all have better eat up right away." Snarf stated.
"Whatever you say sir." Kwami stated while everyone started to laugh a little.
After everyone had finished eating their meals, both the Wollo and the Bulkin as well as Snarfer took their plates back to the now empty metal tray. As they all finished getting everything together, Lion-O started to speak.
"Snarf, thanks for the food. It was just what we all needed." Lion-O stated while Snarfer, the Wollo and the Bulkin started to leave the room.
"Sure thing Lion-O, Brrrrrr. I'm going to take an inventory of what we need from the Berbil village. In the meantime try not to do anything dangerous or stupid alright Lion-O?"
"You know me Snarf." Lion-O replied.
"That's what I'm afraid of. Snarf Snarf." Snarf retorted as he left the medical bay as well.
"Lion-O, what were you saying about the Feliner?" Kwami started to say. "I don't think we ever heard that name before."
"The Feliner is our own intergalactic vehicle. A few months after we crashed here Panthro and Tygra decided to build one for space related missions. It hasn't been used since we all decided to stay on Third Earth."
"Do you think this Feliner is still space worthy?" Gi asked with wonder in her tone.
"Whenever Panthro and Tygra build something it is made to last. In fact that is the reason I came here. I'll be taking a small party to New Thundara in just a few hours."
"Then we are going to go with you." Gi stated while showing the determination in her eyes.
"The Feliner can only seat five and no more."
"Wheeler is one of us so we should go with you." Kwami stated in his most determined tone.
"Kwami, you still need time to recover." Bengali stated as Wilykit and Wilykat started to run scans on everyone else.
"Then I will go. Gi stated again. "I want to go. I feel like I need to go."
"Da me too." Linka started to say. "He is my husband and I love him."
"Linka, I don't think that I ever heard you says those words together in the same sentence." Gi stated in here most honest tone.
"What words are you talking about Gi?" Linka replied while starting to feel a little confused.
"The words I love him. I never thought I would hear those words coming out of your mouth."
"Well just don't tell that Yankee any of this. Especially when he gets his memory back. Otherwise I will never live it down."
"I won't, I promise." Gi stated as she started to wink her left eye, causing everyone to laugh a little.
After all of the laughter started to die down, Lion-O started to shift his attention towards the medical Thundercat and his two pint-sized nurses.
"Bengali, what do your scans show?" Lion-O asked with some wonder in his tone.
After a moment of processing the scans, the medical Thundercat started to speak in a calm and honest tone.
"Gi, you and Linka are well enough to travel. Kwami, I want you to stay here for another day of treatments. This way you will have full mobility when the others return."
"If you say so Bengali." Kwami replied while starting to feel a little saddened.
"Kwami, don't be sad besides this is all for helping save Wheeler." Gi stated as she started to get off of her Bio-bed with the Thunderkittens help.
"Now just take it easy for a while Gi." Wilykit started to say. "You've been off your feet for a long time."
"Thanks Wilykit, but I'm sure I'll be- "Gi started to say until she lost her balance.
As Gi started to loose her balance, Lion-O with his cat-like reflexes was able to catch the Water Planeteer before she hit the floor of the medical bay. After a moment of getting her bearings and seeing the position she was in, Gi started to blush a little before speaking.
"Ah…Thanks for the catch Lion-O." Gi stated while still blushing.
"You're welcome Gi." Lion-O replied as he started to help her up. "Next time listen to Bengali and go slowly."
"Alright, alright, you made your point." Gi stated while everyone started to chuckle a little.
"Now Linka." Bengali started to say as he shifted his attention the now revived Wind Planeteer. "Are you gonna take it easy for a while?"
"Don't worry Bengali, I will." Linka replied as she started to slowing lift herself off the Bio-Bed and on to the floor of the room.
"Linka, Gi, I know that I can't go with you but please try to take it easy and do what Lion-O asks of the both of you." Kwami stated while seeing both Linka and Gi standing on their feet.
"Kwami, you know that Linka is a perfectionist and I will also take it easy." Gi stated while turning her attention to Lion-O. "So when do we leave?"
"Tygra and Panthro told me that they should be done in an hour."
"What about Ma-Ti and the others?"
"They are all working on getting the main control room working again." Lion-O replied as he started to turn his attention to Bengali and the Thunderkittens. "Bengali please do what you can to help Cheetara."
"She is in good hands Lion-O." Bengali stated as Lion-O approached the Bio-Bed with Cheetara laying down.
"Cheetara, will you be alright while I'm gone?" Lion-O asked Cheetara in his most honest tone.
"I'll be fine, but before you go I have something for you." Cheetara stated as she started to pull Lion-O's face towards her for a passionate kiss.
"We will be back and hopefully with a way to save Wheeler." Lion-O started after being released from the kiss with Cheetara.
"When you return, we will start our lessons together." Cheetara stated while both of them started to blush a little.
After a moment, both Cheetara and Lion-O finally came to their senses when they realized that everyone was staring at them. After getting himself together, Lion-O finally gestured to both Gi and Linka to follow him towards the hangar to check on the status of the Feliner. As the small group left the medical bay, Kwami after waiting for a moment started to speak to Cheetara while Wilykit, Wilykat and Bengali were in the other room.
"Cheetara, may I ask you a question?" Kwami asked in his most honest tone.
"Of course Kwami, go ahead." Cheetara replied.
"I don't mean to be rude, but what did you mean by your lessons together. I thought that, well I mean I thought that he and you had those lessons already."
After Kwami's statement, Cheetara started to laugh a little while thinking about the Earth Planeteer's confusion.
"I'm sorry for laughing before, Kwami." Cheetara started to say after she finished laughing. "You see, Lion-O is still a small child. He still doesn't know everything."
"But his age and height?"
"When we left Thundara after it exploded, we were all placed in suspension capsules to keep us all alive."
"Suspension Capsules?"
"Think of it as going into a deep sleep before a long journey."
"I think I understand what you mean. Back in our time, Astronauts do the same thing for very long journeys to conserve food and power."
"Right, but our capsules have a another effect. The capsules slow down the aging process but for some aging does take place. For Lion-O, he was a small child like the Thunderkittens, but when we landed he was a full grown man. He didn't know any of life's experiences that makes one mature into adulthood."
"I saw no problem with that. Lion-O has proven to be a great leader."
"He is." Cheetara started to say while blushing a little. "But he is still learning to this day. Now that our feelings are know to each other, we would need some private time to show each other."
"Ah and that is where the lessons will come into play."
"In a way yes." Cheetara started to say as Bengali and the two Thunderkittens returned from the Light Blue Thundercat's office. "We can discuss more of this at a later time." Cheetara stated while Bengali and the kittens approached the two Bio-Beds.
"I hope we didn't interrupt anything important." Bengali stated while holding a medical scanner.
"Not really Bengali." Kwami started to say. "Just talking about life, and how everyone arrived here."
"Don't remind us." Wilykit started to say in her most honest and angered tone. "I didn't like traveling inside that capsule. It felt like a prison for a while."
"Yea." Wilykat started to add. "Even though we had to, I still didn't like the fact that Jaga had to remain to pilot the ship until we got here. We lost a good friend that day."
"But Lion-O can still talk to Jaga." Kwami stated with some confusion in his tone.
"That's true Kwami, but everyone else can't. I just wished there was a way for all of us to communicate with Jaga from time to time." Wilykat added.
"We did once see and talk to Jaga Wilykit." Wilykat started to say. "But it was when we were under attack from Groon the Destroyer."
"That was true, but it was good to see Jaga again, even though his was battling Groon in spirit form."
"So once your Feliner is launched, how long to get to New Thundera?" Kwami asked while trying not to be rude in changing the subject.
"With the boosters installed, half a Thunderian Eon." Bengali replied as he started to run some scans on Kwami's injury.
"What is that in Earth terms?"
"About three days."
"That is fast, I just hope that they can find the answers that we need to save Wheeler."
"I hope so too Kwami." Wilykit started to say. "You are all part of our family and Wheeler is like a brother to me and Wilykat."
"I really hope that they do succeed." Wilykat added while Bengali started to run his scans.
"Bengali, Thunderkittens, I was just wondering, did you ever think that you made the right decision to stay here?" Kwami asked while trying to be kind.
"If you are asking us to be honest, then yes." Bengali replied in his most honest tone.
"After we restored our home planet we were all wondering what to do next, then Lion-O asked us all if we would like to head back to Third Earth to stay there." Wilykit stated.
"After Lion-O asked us that we all agreed to come back here and live with our friends. We still check in on New Thundera from time to time but we are all happy being here." Wilykat added.
"Kwami, I hope you don't mind me asking, but since we are talking about home, did you ever regret leaving your home to become a Planeteer?" Wilykit asked in her most honest tone.
"When Gaia chose me to be a Planeteer, I felt it was a great honor. I didn't know that I would have to leave my homeland and live on Hope Island with the others." Kwami replied.
"Do you still keep in touch with your people?"
"Of course. We all keep in touch when our friends and family through mail and e-mails. Once we started to care for our home, others started to feel and fight for the same reason. To save our planet."
"But all of that might be in vain if we can't rescue Wheeler." Wilykat stated while trying to not to upset the others.
"We will my friend." Kwami started to say as he put his right hand on Wilykit's left shoulder. "You just need to have a little faith. Faith that Wheeler will come back to us."
"Thanks Kwami." Wilykit replied as Bengali continued to run his scans.
"No problem my friend." Kwami replied as he started to look at the medical Thundercat. "So, what's the prognosis doc?" He added.
"According to these scans I just took, you should be fully healed in a few hours, provided you try and take it easy." Bengali replied while winking his right eye at Kwami.
"Don't worry about that." Kwami started to say with a grin on his face. "Once I can get otta here, I'm going to help save Wheeler and then help you as well."
"Spoken like a true Thundercat." Wilykit stated as they all started to laugh.
As Lion-O and the others started to head towards the medical bay, Tygra, and Panthro finally reached the hanger where the Thundercat's Feliner spaceship was resting. As they both entered the hangar, Panthro started to pull down a lever on the South side of the wall here himself and Tygra entered. As the lever went down, the lights inside the hangar started to come alive and started to illuminate the entire room. As the lights finally reached their brightest settings, both Thundercats started to see a massive shape being covered by a gigantic white cloth with the Thundercat symbol in the middle.
"Ready Panthro?" Tygra asked as both himself and Panthro were ready to pull off the giant cloth.
"Ready Tygra." Panthro replied as they both pulled off the cloth.
As the massive cloth started to come off, the shape under the cloth started to come to light. As the cloth came off, they both started to see a giant cat like silhouette colored in red and white. As the cloth continued to come off, the shape started to show giant wings in some sort of holding position, like is was just standing ready to pounce on it's enemies. After a moment they both started to see a cat-like face emerge as the cloth finally came off of the front of the ship.
"Now that is a thing of beauty Panthro." Tygra stated as they both saw the now uncovered Feliner.
"You are right about that Tygra." Panthro replied as they both started to enter the Feliner through the glass cockpits on top of the cat face.
"Are you sure she will still work Panthro? It has been years since we last used her." Tygra asked as they both entered the Feliner.
"Trust me Tygra, when I build something, I make it to last." Panthro replied as they both started to Feliner's power up sequence.
"All systems coming online." Tygra started to say. "How's the Thundrillium supply?"
"My reading show it to be at 35%." Panthro replied.
"That will only last for one trip." Tygra started to say in his most concerned tone. "We would have to re-charge the Thundrillium power cell for at least three hours."
"We might not have three hours."
"Wait a minute, if the Cat's Lair back on New Thundera still has our re-charge unit, then we can charge it up once we get there."
"That is if we have enough power and time."
"We will once we finish the check list." Tygra replied as both he and Panthro continued to go through the checklist for the Feliner.
As Panthro and Tygra continued to go through the checklist for the Feliner, Lion-O and the two female Planeteers started to enter the hanger. As they all arrived, both Linka and Gi were almost completely stunned when they saw the Thundercats interplanetary vehicle. After a moment one of the Planeteers started to speak.
"Lion-O, did you guys make that?" Gi asked as she and Linka were still in awe.
"Actually Panthro and Tygra designed and built it." Lion-O replied as Panthro and Tygra started to come out of the Feliner.
"Well it is good to see both of you on your feet again." Panthro stated while he and Tygra joined the others.
"Yes it is and I'm also glad that you finally woke up from your ordeal Linka." Tygra added in his most honest tone.
"Da. Thanks to Bengali and Ma-Ti's help." Linka replied in her honest tone.
"Tygra, Panthro, how's the Feliner? Is she still space worthy?" Lion-O asked in his most concerned tone.
"She is still in perfect condition Lion-O, but we need to recharge the Thundrillium power supply first. She is only at 35%." Panthro stated while showing the others the Thundrillium power disk. "Once this is recharged then the Feliner will be able to make a full round trip back."
"If you started to recharge the power supply, how long do you think it would take to get the other vehicles back in working order?"
"I'd say about maybe three hours. That is how long we would have to wait for a full charge." Tygra started to say. "Maybe half that time to repair everything if we had some help."
"Everyone else is working on getting the Lair back in shape."
"We can help." Gi stated in a excited tone.
"Da. Gi and I are very good in maintaining our vehicles back on Hope Island." Linka added.
"Correction Linka, you are a perfectionist. Even Wheeler said once that you should loosen up once in a while."
"I'll work on loosening up when we get my husband back."
"Alright, calm down you two." Lion-O stated while trying not to be rude to the female Planeteers. "Panthro, could Linka and Gi help you with the repairs to the Thundertank as well as the Thunderstrike?"
"I believe so." Panthro replied.
"I'll bet they can even get the Hovercat and the Thunderclaw back in working order." Tygra added.
"Good, cause after we get the vehicles and the Lair in working order, both Gi and Linka are going with me to New Thundera." Lion-O stated.
"You'll need someone to help with the preflight checklist and making sure that you can get there in once piece." Panthro replied while trying not to be rude.
"I would appreciate it if you would come as well Panthro. You build the Feliner and we could use your expertise when we take off."
"I thought you'd never ask." Panthro replied as a grin went across the dark blue Thundercat's face.
"Now that that's over, we need to start recharging the power supply." Tygra stated.
"I'll take the power supply to be recharged. While I do that, maybe you can get started to the repairs?" Lion-O asked in his most honest tone.
"Sure thing Lion-O. It will be good to get myself back into action." Linka stated in her most proud and honest tone.
"Yes, ever since you woke up from your Sleeping Beauty nap." Gi stated as she started to chuckle a little.
"Very funny Gi." Linka retorted.
"Now now you two." Tygra started to say. "Save your energy for the repairs and then saving Wheeler."
"I better go get this recharged." Lion-O stated while trying not to be rude.
"Are you going to check in on Cheetara also?" Panthro asked.
"Yes. I care about her very much."
"You are a good person Lion-O and an excellent Lord." Tygra started to say.
"I just want to make sure she is fine before we leave."
"I know, but just don't get too distracted."
"I won't." Lion-O replied before he started to leave the hangar.
"Should we be worried about Lion-O?" Linka stated while seeing the look of worry on Lion-O's face as he left the hangar.
"No." Panthro started to say. "This is all new uncharted territory for our young lord."
"I don't understand." Gi added.
"You see Gi, Lion-O may be an adult to everyone but he still has the experiences of a 12 year old child." Tygra started to say. "During our time in the suspension capsules, Lion-O did grow up but he missed out on life experiences that one goes through to mature."
"I think we understand." Gi stated as Linka nodded her head in agreement.
"Da, we all had to go through a lot before and after we became Planeteers." Linka stated in her most calm and saddened tone.
"And some more than others." Gi added as she started to look at Linka with a saddened face.
"But the important thing is that you both overcame your loss and became better Planeteers from that moment." Panthro replied while trying to cheer up the Planeteers.
"Da. But it still hurts from time to time." Linka replied while trying not to cry.
"I know Linka." Tygra stated as he approached the wind Planeteer. "If you are feeling up to it, we really should start to work on those repairs. "He added as he started to pat Linka's left shoulder with his right hand.
"Da." Linka started to say. "Let's get to work and then get Wheeler back home where he belongs."
After Linka's statement, Gi started to think very hard as she and the others started to leave the Feliner hanger and headed towards the other vehicles in the opposite hangar.
"Wheeler." Gi started to think with passion and truth in her tone. "Please, you have to fight to come back to us. I know you are still in there and that you want to come home. Please don't let Mumm-Ra's evil corrupt your heart and soul. I love you Wheeler and so does everyone else, especially your wife. Please if you can fight to come back." She added as she and the other members of her group entered to opposite hanger and started to work on the other vehicles.
As the Thundercats started their repairs to their vehicles, back in his home Mumm-Ra and his allies have been watching everything that the Thundercats are planning to do next. A moment afterwards the mummy started to speak.
"So, they are planning to send a small group to New Thundera to consult their blasted Book of Omens. That must not happen." Mumm-Ra stated as his minions started to have a confused look on their faces.
"A book?" Zarm started to say in his most angered and confused tone. "YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEM READING A BOOK?!"
"SILENCE ZARM!" The mummy shouted in rage. "THIS BOOK IS THE SOURCE OF THE THUNDERCAT'S POWER!"
"I thought that their sword was the source of their power dude?" Pollution stated in his most confused tone.
"No you fools." Mumm-Ra started to reply in a much calmer Demeter than before. "The sword is the source of their mighty unity and power, but the book has many secrets that can destroy that power."
"So, if this book is so powerful, then why hasn't it been destroyed?" Zarm asked in his most honest and determined tone.
"You fool I thought about doing that from the beginning, but then I discovered that by learning all of the secrets from the book, that I could finally destroy the Thundercats once and for all."
"I figured you failed at both." Zarm stated as Mumm-Ra gave him a mean and angered look from his face.
"That was then, now it is time for victory." Mumm-Ra stated as he gestured Wheeler to join him. "Wheeler, you will go to New Thundera and dispose of the Thundercats there and the woman who murdered your wife."
"It will be a pleasure my master." Wheeler stated whit his angry red eyes.
"Excellent but before I send you there you must rest and get stronger from inside my sarcophagus. I will give you another energy transfusion to make you strong enough to destroy them."
"As you wish my master." Wheeler replied as he started to head towards the sarcophagus.
"Just one minute there Mumm-Ra." Zarm stated in his most hatred demeter.
"What is it Zarm?" Mumm-Ra replied.
"How are you going to send Wheeler to this New Thundera planet. I mean you don't haven't any space craft available and if I remember right, it can be a long space walk there with no oxygen to breathe."
"Silence you fool." Mumm-Ra started to say as Wheeler enter the sarcophagus. "I will show you after I take care of Wheeler." Mumm-Ra added as Wheeler started to lay inside the casket while the lid started to close. "Now to give our friend a quick re-charge of evil." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to cover the casket with beams of evil energy.
After a moment the energy beams surrounding the casket started to vaporize and then the cover started to slide off and Wheeler emerged.
"How do you feel now Wheeler?" Mumm-Ra asked with anticipation.
"I feel more powerful than ever before my master." Wheeler stated as he started to grab the Sword-Of Plun-Darr from his waist. "Those Thundercats and the one who murdered my wife will be destroyed once and for all." Wheeler added as both the blades started to emerge from the sword's hilt and then retracted back inside.
"That's all good and all but you still need to send Wheeler there." Zarm started to say. "So how are you going to do that?"
After Zarm's statement, the mummy started to look into a portion of shadows inside his home. A moment later he started to speak aloud.
"MA-MUTT! YOU CURSED CUR, COME HERE AT ONCE!" He yelled as everyone started to wonder what he was doing.
After Mumm-Ra's statement into the darkness, two glowing red eyes started to emerge followed by a small dog like body beginning to show itself. This dog was like a pit-bull, but with bandages covering some of it's body. A moment afterwards the dog started to show affection towards it's master as it approached and started to embrace it's master.
"Ah Ma-Mutt, I missed you as well my puttered pub. Now I have a mission for you my pet." Mumm-Ra stated as his own eyes started to glow red.
After a moment Ma-Mutt's eyes also started to glow red for a moment before heading back towards the casket.
"Why is your dog there dude?" Pollution asked while Ma-Mutt started to scratch the outside of the casket.
"I will show you." Mumm-Ra replied as he and the others approached the casket.
"I hope that you don't expect all of us to enter that thing." Zarm started to say in a angered and confused tone. "There was only enough room for Wheeler and then Pollution."
"You underestimate what you see my ally." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to remove a false bottom from his casket to reveal a hidden chamber. "Now follow me."
"Alright dude, but I am starting to think that this is from a tv show or something." Pollution stated as they all followed Mumm-Ra into the hidden chamber behind his casket.
As the small group continued to follow the mummy, they all entered a new chamber with what looks like a smaller version of Mumm-Ra's Black Pyramid, but with a glass top. As they all continued to look on, they a saw a small chamber covered by what looks like ancient dark rocks shaped like bones. A moment later the bones started to retract revealing a small casket for the mummy.
"Here Wheeler, lay down and my pet will do the rest." The mummy stated as he gestured Wheeler to lay down inside the casket.
"As you wish my master" Wheeler replied as he started to lay down inside the coffin.
"Now my beloved putered pet. Take Wheeler to New Thundera and remain there until my minion wants to return here." Mumm-Ra stated as his eyes started to glow red.
After a moment, Ma-Mutt's eyes started to glow red before the pit-bull started to head towards the pyramid.
As the dog started to enter the pyramid, both Pollution and Zarm had some concerned looks on their faces as they both continued to see what was happening inside the small Pyramid. As they both continued to watch, Ma-Mutt finally went behind the casket and sat down a on circler piece of stone. After a moment, a blue flame started to emerge from below the stone, forcing Ma-Mutt into a compartment inside the top of the pyramid.
A moment after Ma-Mutt finally reached the control panel, the dog started to pull down some levers and push a few buttons that started to power up the unit. As everyone outside the Pyramid watched, a vortex of swirling energy started to appear while at the same time the Pyramid itself stared to glow white before vaporizing into nothing.
"DUDE! YOU JUST VAPORIZED YOUR ALLY! ARE YOU INSANE!?" Pollution yelled after seeing everything.
"Be quiet you fool." Zarm started to say. "Wheeler isn't vaporized, he's just been teleported to New Thundera. Am I right?" Zarm added as he started to shift his gaze to Mumm-Ra.
"Quite correct." Mumm-Ra replied as he started to gesture Zarm and Pollution to follow him. "Wheeler and Ma-Mutt are now on New Thundera and when the time is right Wheeler will destroy everyone there."
"How?"
"During the last energy infusion I gave him some of my memories from my time on that planet. He now knows everything that I know and the best way to destroy the Thundercats forever."
"Now that I would love to see."
"Hey dudes, when are we gonna start the plan?" Pollution asked with anticipation.
"Patience Pollution. We will start when the Thundercats least expect us to." Mumm-Ra added as they all started to emerge back into the main chamber. "But for the plan to work I will need my new allies to cause a big distraction for the Thundercats and their allies." Mumm-Ra stated as he approached his cauldron.
"Just out of curiosity, who are you going to contact for this distraction?" Zarm asked in his most concerned tone.
"Watch and behold." Mumm-Ra replied as he started to wave his arms while standing in front of his cauldron.
As Mumm-Ra started to wave his mummified arms and hands, the cauldron started to show an image from inside Castle Plun-Darr. Inside the image there where three people sitting down at what looks like a rocky table having something that looks like lunch. After a moment Mumm-Ra started to speak.
"Dr Blight." Mumm-Ra started to say in his most angered and demanding tone. "Your master summons you."
After hearing Mumm-Ra's voice, Dr. Blight, Duke Nukem and Sly Sludge started to get up from their chairs and talk to the ceiling.
"Well it is about time you got back to us." Blight started to say in her most angered tone. "We finished off the Thundercats for you days ago and you just left us hanging."
"Yea, what is the deal with that." Sly sludge added.
"SILENCE YOU FOOLS!" Mumm-Ra yelled at the image. "YOU DIDN'T FINISH THE JOB! THE ONE YOU CALLED WHEELER SURVIVED THE ASSAULT AND WAS ABLE TO BRING BACK THOSE BLASTED THUNDERCATS.!"
"And how is that our fault you bandaged moron." Nukem replied in his most angered tone.
"SILENCE YOU MUTATED PIECE OF ROCK!"
"Now you listen here you overgrown excuse for a mummy I don't like being called names and furthermore-" Nukem started to say until Blight cut him off.
"Nuken would you please be quiet and let me handle this." Blight stated as she started to turn attention back to Mumm-Ra. "Oh great and powerful Mumm-Ra, what would you have us do?"
"I am glad you asked my dear." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to look for someone else in the room. "Where is that computer of yours?"
"MEL, MEL SHOW YOURSELF AT ONCE!" Blight yelled as a green face started to appear on the main computer screen.
"Yes my dearest doctor. What can I do for you?" MEL asked with happiness in his digital voice.
"I am the one who has need of you services." Mumm-Ra stated in his most evilest tone.
"What ever you want mighty Mumm-Ra." The computerized face stated in his most scared tone.
"My newest ally in evil has been transported to the Thundercats new home to start destroying everything there that the Thundercats hold dear, but I need you to create a distraction at the right time to eliminate the rest."
"I…. I think I have just the distraction mighty one. I got the idea from scanning all of the files I got from the Thundercat's main computer. I can have it ready to go in no time."
"Then get started my computerized friend. Once they are all dealt with, then I will send you all back home and to your own time."
"I will get started right away."
"Now just one minute there Mumm-Ra." Blight started to say in her most irritated tone. "MEL works for me , not for you. I want to know exactly what will be happening right now or I will tell my sweetie not to help you at all."
"SILENCE WOMAN!" Mumm-Ra started to yell in a much more angered tone. "YOUR COMPUTER WILL DO WHAT I ASK OR YOU WILL NEVER GET BACK HOME! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"
"Yes sir." Blight replied in a much more humbled tone.
"That's better." Mumm-Ra started to say in a much more calmer tone. "Now MEL, get to work."
"Of course my lord." MEL replied as mechanical arms started to appear in every room and started to get to work.
After that Mumm-Ra then started to wave his arms once again and the image from Castle Plun-Darr started to disappear.
After a moment multiple images started to appear in the cauldron of the Thundercats allies on Third Earth.
"These images are all of the Thundercats allies here on Third Earth." Mumm-Ra started to say as the images started to change. "The Snowman of Hook Mountain, Doctor Dometome, The Warrior Maidens, The Wolos, The Bulkins, the Unicorn keepers, Mandora, Hachiman the Samurai The Tuskas and those blasted Berbils. They are all fathomable allies to the Thundercats."
"I've seen this Hachiman and Mandora in action, dude. We should skip them for now. They are both keeping an eye on the Thundercats." Pollution said with a disgusting tone in his voice.
"These Berbils, what makes them so important to the Thundercats?" Zarm asked with curiosity in his tone.
"Thanks to them the Thundercats have an unlimited food supply. It must go to weaken them and the others."
"I'll take care of the Berbils and their crops." Pollution stated with a smile on his blue and orange face. "I just love to destroy someone's hard work."
"I'll take care of the Amazons. They don't look too difficult to dealt with." Zarm stated with a smile on his face.
"Excellent, we will begin in three hours." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to shift in sight to Driller in the corner of his home. "Driller, I want you to handle to Wolos. Destroy their home with a rockslide or something special."
"It will be my pleasure Mumm-Ra, but don't forget about my payment for my time here." Driller stated with a annoyance in his tone.
"You will be paid in full my friend." The mummy added while starting to change the image in his cauldron once again. "Now let's see what the Thundercats are up to." The mummy added as they all started to watch what was unfolding inside the Cat's Lair.
As the plan was becoming more clear in Mumm-Ra's dark Pyramid, Lion-O had just finished placing the Thundrillium power cell in the recharger in the main conference room. As the power cell began to recharge, Lion-O was starting to become lost in thought over his feelings for the woman he has fallen in love with and the problem with trying to rescue Wheeler from Mumm-Ra's evil power. As he continued to wait for the cell to recharge, Lion-O's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Lion-O, Brrr is there anything that I can do to help you?" The voice stated as Lion-O started to turn his gave to the person who spoke.
"Oh hello Snarf." Lion-O replied with honesty in his tone.
"Something on your mind?"
"You could say that." Lion-O replied as Snarf started to stand on his tail next to Lion-O.
"Anything I could do to help?"
"I don't know. I have so many thoughts running through my head that it is hard for me to think straight."
"Thoughts of Cheetara and Wheeler?"
"Yes. I just feel so confused and worried."
"Snarf, Snarf. Just another part of growing up and being an adult Lion-O."
"I know it is just all new to me. I thought everything would be fine when I became the true lord of the Thundercats, but after the trials, I feel that my duties are expanding and so are my feelings."
"It will be alright Lion-O. You have me and the other Thundercats plus our allies and the Planeteers to help you out."
"I understand but first we have to save Wheeler." Lion-O stated just as the recharging station started to beep.
"Getting ready to go on a trip?" Snarf asked with wonder.
"Yes. Panthro, Gi, Linka and myself are heading towards New Thundera to consult the Book of Omens on a way to help get back Wheeler."
"Well if you are going to go then I will have to get some supplies ready for your trip." Snarf started to say as he got down from his tail and started to walk on all four of his furry legs. "By the way, when are you leaving?"
"In less than an hour. That should give Panthro, Tygra, Gi and Linka time to at least get some of our other vehicles back in working order."
"In that case I will meet you in the Feliner Hanger with some supplies for your trip. See you then." Snarf stated as he started to run out of the conference room and straight towards his kitchen.
"Good old Snarf, always wanting to make sure that everyone is well taken care of." Lion-O stated after Snarf had left the room. "I better grab the power cell and head towards the medical bay." Lion-O added as he started to get up from his chair in the conference room.
While all of the Thundercats and their allies were busy with the repairs to the Lair, back in the medical bay Bengali was still running tests on Cheetara after her ordeal.
"How are you feeling Cheetara?" Bengali asked while Kwami watch from his Bio-Bed.
"I feel fine but I still can't feel anything from my sixth sense." Cheetara replied while starting to feel a littler sad.
"Cheetara, may I ask you something?" Kwami asked while Bengali continues to run his tests.
"Of course Kwami. What's on your mind?"
"This sixth sense of yours, what is it?"
"That is a little had to explain but I will try." Cheetara replied before taking in a deep breath and then started to speak again. "Basically it is a power that some female Thundercats have but never developed. I was lucky though, Jaga saw my potenital and started to train me in harnessing my power."
"You once said that your power is so strong that it could kill you. Is it true?"
"In a way it is. Whenever I use my power, it starts to drain my life-force. That's why I try never to use it for risk of killing myself."
"I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to upset you with my question."
"Don't be sorry. I always have that fear whenever I use it but I try not to cause I still need to develop it much further."
"Maybe I can help with that and maybe between the two of us or should I say three of us maybe try to get back your sixth sense." Kwami stated while trying not to give Cheetara any false hope.
"Bengali, do you think that what Kwami says might work?" Cheetara asked while Bengali was still running his tests.
"I don't know." Bengali started to say while looking at Kwami." What did you have in mind to help Cheetara Kwami?"
"The people of my tribe always tried deep meditation in order to reach certain parts of their minds. Maybe your sixth sense is somehow in another part of your mind, but completely cut-off from you."
"Kwami maybe right Cheetara. It is possibile that it may have moved to a different location inside your brain." Bengali started to say while finishing up his tests. " Do you have any way of helping her reach this deep meditation?"
"Usually some people use a form of hypnosis." Kwami stated as he started to look around from his Bio-Bed. "Bengali, do you have anything that I might be able use to help Cheetara?"
"Let me check in my office." Bengali started to say as he finished running his tests on Cheetara." I need to input these findings anyway. Be right back." The medical Thundercat added before heading back towards his office.
"Kwami, do you think that hypnosis might help me to retrieve my Sixth sense?" Cheetara asked in her most concerned tone.
"I'm not sure." Kwami started to say in his most honest tone. "I don't even know what happened to you or how your sixth sense works but maybe this might help you at least find a piece at least."
"I don't know but I am willing to try something. I just hope that this technique works at least a little."
"We will find out shortly. I think I see Bengali coming back now." Kwami stated while the medical Thundercat finally returned from his office.
"Any news from my tests?" Cheetara asked in her curious tone.
"I'm afraid not. My scans are designed to detect physical damage I'm not sure about psychic damage." Bengali replied in his most honest tone.
"Do you have anything that might help?" Kwami asked while Bengali started to show a kind of light pen.
"Will this do?" Bengali replied as he started to show the pen to Kwami.
"Does the light on the pen work?"
"Yes it does. I use it sometimes to help me focus while working here and when back at the Tower."
"Good." Kwami stated while looking at Cheetara. "Cheetara, I want you and Bengali to do exactly what I tell you both down to the letter."
"Ok. What do I have to do?" Cheetara asked with wonder.
"First I need you top lay down and relax your body." Kwami started to say. Bengali I want you to turn on the light pen and start to shine it above Cheetara's eyes while starting to sway it slowing from left to right."
"Alright." Bengali replied as Cheetara started to lay down on the Bio-Bed.
As Bengali started to shine and wave the light in front of the Cheetah-type Thundercat, Kwami started to speak.
"Cheetara, I want you to relax and keep listening to the sound of my voice. I want you to concentrate on the light and only the light. See it go back and forth in front of you while at the same time you will start to feel sleepy. That's it, keep following the light." Kwami continued to say as Cheetara's eye lids started to close very slowly. "Alrigth Bengali you can turn off the light now." Kwami added as Bengali turned off the light from the pen. "Cheetara, can you hear me?"
"Yes. I can hear you." Cheetara replied while in what looks like a deep trance state.
"Now Cheetara, I want you to listen to me very carefully. I want you to voyage into your mind's eye to try and find you sixth sense. I know that it is inside there somewhere, and I want you to find it. You can do this Cheetara, remember Bengali and I are here and no harm will come to you at all. Do you understand?"
"Yes I understand."
"Good, now I want you to start looking inside you mind for anything that will lead you towards your sixth sense."
After Kwami's statement, Cheetara started to nod her head as somehow her own essence was searching her mind to find her missing sixth sense.
"Linka, what do you see?"
"I…. I see nothing but darkness everywhere."
"Keep searching. I'm sure that it is still there, just hard to find."
After a moment of searching inside her mind, Cheetara started to speak again. "I see something. A small light in the distance."
"Can you move towards it?"
"I will try." Cheetara responded as she continued to move towards the small light inside her mind.
As her essence continued to head towards the small light, something strange inside her mind has started to appear.
"Something…. Something is wrong." Cheetara started to say in a worried tone.
"What is it Cheetara?" Kwami asked with concern.
"I'm approaching the light but something is not right. I can feel that something has changed. I'm not quite sure what?"
"Cheetara, can you approach the light to touch it?" Bengali asked with some wonder.
"I… I believe so."
"Just be careful . I'm not sure what will happen but whatever it is we will be right here to help." Kwami added.
"Alright." Cheetara replied as she started to head towards the light.
As Cheetara started to head towards the light inside her mind, the glow started to become brighter and brighter as if it was trying to protect itself from harm. As Cheetara approached it, she started to reach out her right arm and hand in order to touch it. As she was about to touch it, the light went dim as if it knew the feline Thundercat. As Cheetara touched the light her mind was starting to be bombarded by images. As the images continued to affect Cheetara, the pain coming from the light was starting to become unbearable.
"NO MORE! MAKE IT STOP!" Cheetara started yell while still under.
"CHEETARA! Kwami started to yell back. "Cheetara listen to me, I will snap my fingers and you will wake up and feel refreshed with no pain at all." He added as Kwami snapped his fingers to awake Cheetara from her trance.
"Cheetara, how do you feel?" Bengali asked while Cheetara started to open her eyes.
"I…. I don't is like a part of me is reborn somehow. I just don't know how to explain it."
"Take it easy right now and tell us what happened and why did you scream in pain." Bengali asked as someone was entering the room.
"Kwami whatever you did to help me it seemed to work for a moment."
"What did Kwami do to you Cheetara?" A voice asked from behind the group.
After the question, everyone started to shift their vision to the person who spoke the question.
"Lion-O." Bengali started to say. "How long have you been there?"
"Not long, I just wanted to check in on Cheetara before I headed back down to the Feliner." Lion-O started to say as he started to hold Cheetara's left hand with his right hand. "Now what happened?"
"Kwami tried a type of hypnosis to help me find my sixth sense." Cheetara started to say while trying not to blush while holding Lion-O's hand.
"Did it work?"
"I think so, but only for a moment."
"We were about to find out what happened when you decided to join us Lion-O." Kwami stated while trying not to be rude to anyone.
"Well let's try to find out what happened to you." Lion-O stated while letting go of her hand and getting a chair to sit down at Cheetara's bedside.
"Now Cheetara, tell us what you saw."
"I started to see flashes of images but it was all coming at me at once." Cheetara started to say until she started to feel a great pain to her body. "OH NO!" Cheetara yelled while holding her chest with both arms. "LION-O, YOU MUST GET BACK TO NEW THUNDERA QUICKLY!"
"I was gonna leave in less than an hour -"
"NO LION-O! YOU HAVE TO LEAVE NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!"
"Cheetara, what did you see? Please try to calm down and tell us what you saw." Kwami stated while trying to calm down Cheetara.
"I SAW NEW THUNDERA EXPLODED!"
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBILE!" Lion-O yelled before calming down himself. "We just got back our home and now we are gonna loose it, how?"
"I'm not sure." Cheetara started to saw as the pain started to subside. "All I know is that our home is in danger."
"Then we will leave right away." Lion-O stated as he started to turn his attention towards Bengali. "Bengali, may I use your comm system?"
"Of coursed Lion-O." Bengali replied as Lion-O got up from his chair and walked over towards the comm unit.
"Lion-O to Panthro. Lion-O to Panthro." Lion-O stated into the comm unit.
After a moment of silence the a voice started to come out of the unit.
"Panthro here Lion-O. What's the problem?"
"Panthro, I need you , Gi and Linka to meet me in the Feliner hangar right away our home is in danger."
"Danger? Danger from what?"
"I don't know but we are gonna find out. We need to leave right away."
"Ok. We'll meet you there in five minutes." Panthro replied as the comm unit went dead.
After using the comm unit Lion-O walked back towards Bengali, Cheetara and Kwami. After a moment the Lord of the Thundercats started to speak again.
"Cheetara, I… I" Lion-O started to say.
"I know you have to go." Cheetara replied.
"No. That's not what I was going to say. I was going to say that I love you and I will return and hopefully with news about saving Wheeler." Lion-O stated as Cheetara started to blush a little.
"Lion-O I-" Cheetara started to say until Lion-O stopped her with a passionate kiss.
"I will return." Lion-O started to say after releasing Cheetara from the kiss. "Besides you still have those lessons to teach me." He added as he started to head out of the medical bay.
"Just be safe out there." Cheetara replied as Lion-O completely exited the medical bay.
"You love him don't you Cheetara." Kwami asked with wonder and concern in his tone.
After a moment, Cheetara started to respond to Kwami's statement.
"Yes .I guess I do."
"Well you are both very lucky people."
"How so?"
"In our time it is sometimes rare to find two people in love with each other."
"You mean like Wheeler and Linka."
"In a way. Wheeler was always flirting with Linka from time to time but always got shot down."
"Well what changed between them?"
"That is a hard question to answer. They just got to know each other better and some of their experiences are almost the same in a weird way. Linka loosing her cousin Boris to Bliss, and Wheeler's feelings for her intensified when he saw how much pain she was in. Also the same could be said for when we all thought that Linka was leaving the Planeteers to stay with her grandmother. We know that they both kissed when we thought it was for the last time, but afterwards when we found out that Linka wasn't staying home, both of them never talked about it. I guess in a way they were both embarrassed about it."
"Why would they? It sounds like they really love each other."
"They do, but sometimes they do get their signals crossed. Anyway, I'm glad that there are together."
"Same here, I just wish that their union was a lot more blissful. Sorry about using the word Bliss."
"It is alright Cheetara, we all feel the same way after what Mumm-Ra did to ruin the ceremony."
"And now this. I'm surprised at how well you and your friends are taking this."
"What do you mean by that, Cheetara?" Kwami asked with some wonder in his tone.
"I mean that Wheeler has turned against us by Mumm-Ra's magic."
"I think I understand what you are trying to say Cheetara, but I know that everything will be alright in the end."
"How?"
"Cause we are determined to get Wheeler back no matter the cost. He is one of us and he would do the same for any of us."
"But how can you be sure about that?"
"Alright you two, I think that is enough for now." Bengali interjected while trying not to be rude.
"Bengali?" Cheetara replied with a confused tone in her voice.
"Is there a problem my friend?" Kwami asked as well.
"Not really but I want you both to rest for a while. Don't get me wrong, talking about things is a good way to stay active, but I want you both to rest and recover. Kwami, you still need rest so that your leg will heal and Cheetara, you probably need to rest after your ordeal as well." Bengali stated in his most honest and cautious tone.
"Your right Bengali, we both should rest for now. We can continue our discussion later Cheetara." Kwami stated in his most honest tone.
"Maybe afterwards we can try that meditation again. Maybe next time I can get more of my sixth sense back." Cheetara stated with hope in her tone.
"Maybe but for now we rest." Kwmi replied as they both started to lay back down on their Bio-Beds.
As Lion-O was heading towards the main conference room to start re-charging the power unit for the Feliner, Tygra, Panthro, Gi and Linka had reached the hanger where the other Thundercat vehicles were still under repair. As they all entered the hangar, Tygra flipped on a light switch so that they can all see which vehicle needed the most repairs.
"I am going to make those enemies of your pay for this." Panthro stated as he saw how beat up his Thundertank was after it's ordeal.
"Calm down Panthro, the Thundertank can easily be repaired." Tygra stated in his most honest tone.
"Da, but we should also look into shielding your vehicles as well as the rest of your tech with some kind of defense just in case they use that beam again." Linka added.
"Linka's right about that. Blight and her goons probably think that we can't come up with a defense for it. " Gi added.
"On that I think we can all agree." Tygra started to say. "We let our own overconfidence get in the way."
"But now you know not to make the same mistake again." Gi replied.
"Da. Maybe we can figure out a way to create a counter-agent to the beam." Linka added.
"We can if we have a sample of that beam." Panthro added.
"We all know that the beam is made of Thundrainium, so maybe that is a start, but I'm unsure of the other elements." Tygra stated as they all started to work on the vehicles.
"Maybe I can figure them out if I have a scanner to try and break down the elements used in the beam. Knowing Dr. Blight, she probably used the files from your Mutant's own computer to create the beam with a few improvements of her own."
"I think I might be able to help you with a scanner, Linka." Tygra stated as he started to approach a work bench inside the hangar.
As Tygra approached a work bench he started to see small tools used for repairing as well as maintaining the Thundercat's vehicles. As he started to look the brown and white Thundercat started to pick up a certain square and rounded tool used for scanning certain types of metals. After a moment he rejoined the others.
"Here you go Linka, this should help." Tygra stated as he handed Linka the device.
"Da, this should do good." Linka replied as they all started to get to work.
As the Thundercats, and Gi started to work on the other vehicles, Linka started to run her scans on the Thundertank's damaged components. As she continued to run her scans, the results she was getting back were almost confusing to a point.
"BOSHA MOI!" Linka yelled in an angered tone.
"Linka, what's wrong?" Tygra asked as everyone else stopped working on the vehicles and approached Linka.
"These reading I am getting back, I can't make sense out of them. I… I."
"Linka, calm down." Gi started to say in her most calm tone. "I know you can figure this out, but something else is distracting you. What is it?"
"There is nothing distracting me Gi. I just can't figure out these readings." Linka replied in an angered tone.
"Linka, I know you. You can figure this out. Please tell me what is wrong."
"THERE IS NOTHING WRONG! STOP ASKING ME THAT!" Linka yelled at her best friend.
"Linka!" Tygra yelled back to try and snap Linka out of what was bothering her.
"Tygra…. Gi I…. I'm so sorry. I just don't know what is wrong with me."
"It's Wheeler, isn't it. You are still worried about him and what Mumm-Ra is forcing him to do." Gi stated in her most honest tone.
"It's not just that." Linka started to say before she started to break out in tears. "IT'S NOT FAIR WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US!" She started to yell in a very saddened tone. "WHEELER AND I ARE TOGETHER AND NOW THIS! IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WHEN MY FEELINGS FOR THAT YANKEE WERE CHANGED BUT NOW THIS! WE HAVE TO GET HIM BACK! I NEED HIM!"
"Linka." Gi stated as she started to see Linka calm down and wipe her tears away from her eyes. "Are you OK?"
"Da Gi. I'm sorry for what happened. I didn't mean to snap like that." Linka replied in her most honest tone.
"Don't apologize Linka." Gi started to say in a calm demeter. "I'm just surprised that you lasted this long without bursting out crying."
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Calm down Linka. I care about Wheeler as well and I want to bring him home."
"We all want to save your friend." Tygra started to say and he and Panthro joined the two female Planeteers.
"Panthro, Tygra, I'm sorry for my outburst." Linka stated in her most honest and apologetic tone.
"It is alright Linka. We are all worried about your friend."
"Yes, but-" Linka started to say until she was cut off by the sound of the comm device on the wall going off.
"Lion-O to Panthro. Lion-O to Panthro." A voice stated from the comm unit.
A moment later Panthro started to answer back on the comm unit.
"Panthro here Lion-O. What's the problem?"
"Panthro, I need you , Gi and Linka to meet me in the Feliner hangar right away our home is in danger."
"Danger? Danger from what?" Panthro replied in a worried tone.
"I don't know but we are gonna find out. We need to leave right away."
"Ok. We'll meet you there in five minutes." Panthro replied as the comm unit went dead.
"Lion-O sounded worried. Should we be worried as well?" Gi asked.
"When it comes to out home planet we should." Tygra started to say. "We almost lost our home again, but we were able to save it."
"Then we won't let that happen again." Gi replied in her most determined tone.
"What about my analysis? I'm still trying to break down the components used in that beam." Linka stated as the scanner continued to work.
"You can transfer your data into the Feliner's main computer system. It can process data at a faster rate. Right now we should hurry." Panthro stated as every started to nod their heads in agreement.
As everyone started to leave the Hanger where the Thundertank and the other vehicles were being repaired, Linka started to run one last quick scan before joining the others. As she finished running the scan, she took the scanner with her and hurried to rejoin the others while they were all heading towards the Feliner.
As they all arrived at the Feliner's hangar, Linka was still catching up to the others while still looking at the scan she made of the Thundertank's damaged components. After they all reunited, Panthro pressed a button on the metal door so that they can all enter the hanger.
As they all entered, the group saw Lion-O and Snarf waiting for all of them while holding a basket of some kind.
"Lion-O what is this?" Panthro asked as they all entered.
"Snarf, would like to tell them?" Lion-O replied while looking at his best friend.
"Snarf Snarf, since you will be gone for a while, I thought that I should whip up a little something for the trip. Brrrrr." Snarf stated in his most honest tone.
"That was very nice of you Snarf." Gi stated as she started to take the basket from Snarf.
"Brrr. Don't mention it Gi." Snarf started to say. "You and Linka still need to keep up your strength and I figured that everyone else would appreciate it."
"And so we do Snarf." Panthro added in his most honest tone. "Alright everyone, time to board." Panthro added as he started to head towards the Feliner's cockpit.
"Thank you for the food Snarf." Linka stated as she and the others minus Tygra entered the Feliner.
"Just promise me one thing before you leave." Snarf started to say as Gi and Linka stopped in their tracks.
"What is it Snarf?" Gi asked in her curious tone.
"Da, please tell us." Linka added.
"Just be careful out there and give my love to the Snarf's on New Thundera. Brrr." Snarf stated in his most honest and caring tone.
"We will. Promise." Gi replied.
"Tygra, can you interface with the Feliner's main computer system before we leave?" Linka asked in a curious tone.
"I believe so. If you aren't too far away. Why?" Tygra asked.
"I am going to transfer the scan data into the Feliner's main computer system and I want you to analyze what I find out as well."
"Good idea Linka." Lion-O started to say. "Maybe we can figure out a way to stop that beam from damaging any more Thundercat tech."
"That is what I am hoping for."
"Don't worry Linka. I'll start viewing the data as soon as you begin." Tygra stated in his most honest tone. "Now you better get going."
"All right Thundercats and Planeteers, let's move out."
After that the Thundercats and Planeteers started to sound off as they entered the Feliner.
"Lion-O ready. Ho." Lion-O stated.
"Panthro ready. Ho." Panthro added.
"Gi ready. Ho." Gi stated with a smile on her face.
"Linka ready. Ho." Linka added.
"Power on, systems ready, All go." Panthro stated as the giant claw outside the lair started to open.
As the Cats Lair's gigantic left claw started to open up, platforms started to materialize in an upward position from the bottom of the lair to the open sky. As the platforms finally completed forming, the Thundercat's Feliner started to jump out of the lair and landed on each of the platforms. As the Feliner jumper from the last platform, the giant robotic legs started to retract and the folded wings started to expand. As the wings finally expanded down the Feliner started to activate it's engines and the unit finally took off into deep space on it's way to New Thundera.
As the Thundercats started to rocket into deep space, back in his dark Pyramid, Mumm-Ra and his fellow allies in evil were watching everything that was happening. After a moment the mummy started to speak.
"Excellent. Everything is going according to plan." Mumm-Ra stated in his most evilest tone.
"Are you sure about that dude? I mean most of them are still here." Pollution stated in his most confused tone.
"Of course I'm sure. Having Lion-O leave was the first part of the plan. Now once they are outside their comm range we will begin with the second part."
"Brilliant idea my lord, but what about the four heading towards New Thundera?" Zarm ask in a worried tone.
"I have already planned for that maneuver." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to wave his arms above his cauldron. "Wheeler, respond at once." Mumm-Ra yelled as the image in the cauldron started to change into a image of the Fire Planeteer, now working for Mumm-Ra.
"I am here my lord and ready to begin." Wheeler replied in his most anxious tone.
"Your first assignment is to attack the Great Beneath and to damage the Gyroscope that holds New Thundera together."
"I understand my lord, but how will I get there?"
"Ma-Mutt will be your transportation." Mumm-Ra stated as Ma-Mutt started to whimper next to Wheeler. "Don't be sad my putered pet. It will only be until the mission is completed."
"And then we can put the rest of the plan that I laid out for everyone in full swing."
"Yes, and it is a genius plan as well. Now head towards the Great Beneath, but watch out for Jagara and Screwloose."
"Yes the two who guards the Gyroscope from harm. I already have a plan to infiltrate their base and do some serious damage."
"Excellent. Now carry out your mission, by the way, I have found out that the Thundercats and the woman who murdered your family are heading there at this very moment. If you should encounter them, then destroy them all."
"It will be my pleasure my master." Wheeler stated as Mumm-Ra started to wave his arms to make the image of Wheeler disappear from the cauldron's waters. "Now since that is taken care of, we can move on to attacking the Thundercats allies and destroy those retched felines once and for all."
"Just as long as you remember our deal Mumm-Ra. I will help you as long as you will help us." Zarm stated in his most angered tone.
"But we must keep this from the Ancient Spirits. They overheard us once before and I can't risk them overhearing me again."
"Don't worry about a thing. By the time I'm done with you, those Ancient Spirits won't be able to stop you and you will be the one controlling them."
"Then let us begin." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to talk with Zarm and Pollution about the next phase of the plan. "Driller are you ready to begin in one hour?" He added as he started to shift in attention to Driller.
"I am mighty Mumm-Ra. When it is time, call me and I will begin." Driller stated as he started to return to the earth.
"Are you sure that we can trust that Driller dude? I mean he doesn't look that trusting to me." Pollution stated while starting to feel a little uneasy about everything.
"We can trust Driller only when he wants his payment of diamonds. We both know that without my diamonds he will be trapped inside the earth forever." Mumm-Ra stated with a small grin on his mummified face.
"That is good and all but what about dealing with the Thundercats other allies." Zarm asked with a look of concern on his face.
"Don't worry about a thing my friend. If this plan of Wheeler's really does work, then they will be wiped out in no time. Now we must prepare for battle." Mumm-Ra stated as he started to approach his sarcophagus." I need to rest for a while, but when I emerge then I will energize you as well my minions." Mumm-Ra added as he entered his casket before the lid closed on him.
"I can't wait till he gives me another power boost." Pollution started to say with a smirk on his face. "That last blast made me feel stronger than I even felt before. I can't wait to see how powerful I will become afterwards."
"Silence you fool. I'm not worried about what that mummy will do for us. I need to think of a way to help him without helping him." Zarm stated while having trouble thinking of a plan.
"Dude, if Mumm-Ra wants that golden sphere back so much then make him one and be done with it."
After a moment of hearing what Pollution said, Zarm started to have a smile on his face and a very evil idea. "You know something, you may have just given me the answer that I needed. I know that you never heard this before but for this moment you are a genius." Zarm, stated as he started to walk over to the cauldron and in front of the ancient spirits of evil.
"Dude, what are you going to do?" Pollution asked with wonder.
"Watch and learn my friend." Zarm stated as he started yell at the statues. "ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL, I ZARM SEEK AND AUDIENCE WITH YOU AT ONCE! IT CONCERS YOUR SERVENT MUMM-RA THE EVER LIVING! ANCIENT SPIRITS ANSWER ME YOU STUPID PIECES OF ROCK!"
Suddenly the entire ground started to shake as the eyes in the Ancient Spirits of Evil's stone statues started to light up.
"YOU DARE TO DISTURB THE ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL! FOR THAT YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!" The statues yelled in their most angered tone.
"YES YOU COULD MAKE ME PAY FOR WHAT I DID, BUT THEN YOU WOULD LOOSE OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEAT THE THUNDERCATS ONCE AND FOR ALL. PLUS IT WOULD ALL BE YOUR FAULT IN THE PROCESS!"
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO US IN THAT TONE! WE ARE THE MOST POWERFUL BEINGS IN THE ENTIRE KNOWN UNIVERSE!"
"NOT SO POWERFUL IF YOU FEAR MUMM-RA GETTING A LITTLE MORE POWERFUL IN THE PROCESS! YOU ONCE ROBBED HIM OF WHAT HE NEEDED TO WIN THE BATTLE WITH THE THUNDERCATS FOR FEAR HE WOULD TURN ON YOU! YOU MADE THE FIRST MISTAKE AND NOW YOU ARE ALL PAYING FOR IT MUCH DEARLY!"
"WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN MICROBE? AND HOW ARE WE RESPONSABILE FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US HERE!?"
"BY TAKING AWAY THE GOLDEN SPHERE OF SITI, YOU HAVE ROBBED YOUR SERVENT OF THE POWER HE NEEDS TO DESTROY YOUR ENEMIES. THAT IN MY BOOK IS A LOOSING STRAGETY!"
"THE GOLDEN SPHERE IS TOO POWERFUL TO BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF OUR SERVENT! WE MADE THE RIGHT MOVE TO SECURE HIS LOYALITY TO US!"
"AND TO GUARANTEE YOUR SERVENT'S DEFEAT AT THE HANDS OF HIS ENEMIES! I HAVE A PROPOSAL FOR YOU TO HEAR AND THINK ABOUT!"
"WE ARE LISTENING, BUT BETTER MAKE IT A GOOD ONE OR WE WILL MEAKE YOU SUFFER FOR CALLING US!"
"GIVE MUMM-RA BACK THE GOLDEN SPHERE! IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN!"
"ARE YOU INSANE? WE WILL NOT GIVE HIM BACK THE SPHERE!"
"YOU MISUNDERSTAND ME! WHEN I SAID TO GIVE HIM BACK THE SPHERE, I DIDN'T MEAN THE EXACT SPHERE!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
" I MEAN CREATE A FAKE SPHERE FILLED WITH YOUR DARK ENERGY AND PUT IN A FAIL-SAFE JUST IN CASE THE MUMMY BETRAYS YOU! YOU ALL DO KNOW WHAT A FAIL-SAFE IS DON'T YOU?!"
"YOU ARE TRYUING OUR PATIENCE, JUST EXPLAIN WHY WE SHOULD DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE!"
"AS I SAID, GIVING MUMM-RA A FAKE SPHERE FILLED WITH YOUR ENERGY WILL HELP US ALL WIN THE BATTLE AGAINST THE THUNDERCATS! ALSO THIS PLAN WAS DEVISED BY MUMM-RA'S NEWEST ALLY IN EVIL! I BELIEVE YOU KNOW HIS NAME, WHEELER!"
"YOU MEAN TO TELL US THIS THIS PLAN TO GIVE MUMM-RA BACK THE SPHERE WAS ALL HIS SERVENT'S IDEA?!"
"YES! NOW DO WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT OR NOT?!"
"WE KNOW HOW DECIEVING MUMM-RA CAN BE! WE WILL HELP YOU CARRY OUT THIS PLAN!"
"EXCELLENT! WE NEED THE SPHERE IN ONE HOUR!"
"YOU SHALL HAVE IT!"
"THERE IS ONE SMALL FAVOR FOR YOU TO DO FOR US!'
"A FAVOR! YOU WANT US TO DO YOU A FAVOR!"
"YOU MUST TELL MUMM-RA THAT YOU HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE HIM BACK THE SPHERE IN ORDER TO WIN THE WAR! AFTERWARDS YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HIM AFTER HE SENDS US BACK TO WHERE WE BELONG!"
"VERY WELL! THE BARGAIN IS STRUCK! JUST DON'T MAKE US REGRET TRUSTING YOU!"
"YOU WON'T ANCIENT ONES! YOU HAVE MY WORD ON THAT!"
"YOUR WORD AND YOUR LIFE!"
After their conversation was over, the eyes on the statues started to dim from sight as Zarm started to feel pretty good about himself and what he had done. After a moment of feeling good for the perfect performance that he had pulled out Pollution started to talk to his sneaky partner in crime.
"Dude, are you sure about this?" Pollution started to say with concern on his face. "I mean those statues maybe old and such but I don't know if you did the right thing involving those spirits."
"Quiet you fool. Everything is going according to my plan." Zarm replied in an angered tone.
"Your plan? But you said it was Wheeler's plan."
"Exactly. Once everything is done Mumm-Ra and the Ancient Spirits can destroy each other for all I care. I want the power of Mumm-Ra to be added to my own."
"But what about the Planeteers and the Thundercats?"
"Once we are finished with them, then I will begin my plan to conquer all."
"Dude, you are one sneaky fellow. Remind me never to get on your bad said."
"Don't worry about that. You are already on my bad side, but that can wait till later. Right now we need to prepare for the mother of all battles, and this time, no one and nothing will survive." Zarm stated with a grin of pure evil on his face.
As Zarm and Pollution continued to plan their own agenda, back in his sarcophagus, Mumm-Ra was deep in thought while also trying to regain his power and strength.
"I must find a way of destroying those retched Thundercats once and for all." He started to think while regenerating his powers. "I must figure it out before I am fully restored, but every time I use my powers I feel weaker almost immediately. I must try to conserve my strength. I must also make sure that my newest allies don't betray me, they are clever and sneaky but I have to be on alert at all times. I need to regain my strength, cause at the end I will win everything!" He added as he started to fully rest and be re-energized.
As the Thuundercats inside the Feliner started to head towards their home planet, they are all unaware of the trouble being caused on both Third Earth and on New Thundera. As Lion-O, Panthro, Gi and Linka continued to head out into deep space, none of them has any idea that their greatest test of their own character iS about to begin. Not to mention that one of them might end up doing the one thing that they would never do in their entire life.
