[bunniefuu]

Thundercats!

Thunder... Thunder... Thunder...

Thundercats, h*!

Aargh!

Thundercats.

Hmm... Well, let's see here.

The river becomes
swampland at this point.

Oh, nasty-looking, too.

Look over there, wilykat.

I never noticed
that tower before.

Purr!

I don't like the looks of it.

Shush, wilykit.

Let me concentrate.

Tygra wants these
maps to be precise.

[Animal roaring
and man screaming]

Man: oh, please, help! Please!

Wilykat,

Someone's being attacked!

Sounds like robbers.

Come on, kit!

[Roar]

Help! Give back my purse!

Oh! Help! Help!

[Roars]

[Roars]

[Roars]

Ooh! Oh! I almost threw
my back out of joint.

Those guys must have
been made out of stone.

Yeah. I almost busted a toe!

Who were they?

They're from the black tower

Of robber baron carnor.

Forgive a foolish old wollo
for causing you this trouble.

I should never have
taken this shortcut,

But I was late for my
daughter's wedding.

Sorry we couldn't
get your purse back.

Did they get much?

[Deep sigh]

Ordinarily, they would
have had meager pickings,

But today, I was carrying
my daughter's wedding gift...

A gold bracelet with
2 hearts intertwined.

Oh, what a shame!

Heh. Oh, well. At least
I'll make the wedding,

Thanks to you.

I will be ever grateful.

Robber baron carnor.

Yeah. How about
having a quick peek

At that tower of his?

Wilykat: hmm...
Doesn't look as if

Anyone's been in or out of here

In quite awhile.

Hello!

Wilykit: no answer.

Look! This lock is all rusted.

I'll bet I can force it.

[Loud creaking]

Ah! You're making
too much noise.

There's got to be
some other way in.

No.

I don't see any.

Wilykat!

Where did you go?

Come on now, wilykat.

This is no time for
practical jokes.

There's no place
wilykat could be hiding.

No place.

Come on in, snarf.
The water's great!

You'll love it.

I can hardly stand
looking at water.

As for dunking myself in it...

Sheow!

Snarf, i-i've got a cramp!

Save me!

Don't panic, lion-o,

Snarf's coming for you.

Ha ha ha ha!

See? I told you you'd love it.

Ah, you!

[Gurgling]

You scared me like
that for nothing.

I did my best to raise
you right, lion-o,

But let's face it.

You got a mean streak in you.

Oh, come on, snarf!

I-i was only fooling.

Purr.

Meow.

Where did I go wrong?

I didn't mean to scare him.

I guess a joke doesn't
seem all that funny

When the joke's on you.

I'll have to remember that.

The eye of thundera!

Danger!

Sword of omens,

Give me sight beyond sight.

Wilykat, where are you?

Wilykat!

It's kit, and wilykat
must be in trouble,

Bad trouble, if she's so upset.

That tower...

It's the one I saw through
the eyes of the sword.

Lion-o! Lion-o!

It's wilykat.

He's disappeared.

Where was he when
you last saw him, kit?

Right here, lion-o.

But where was he
standing exactly?

Well, uh, he... He was
standing right on this spot,

Trying to force
this rusty old lock.

Like this?

Whoa! Whoa!

Where are we?

Wherever it is,

At least we now know
where wilykat got to,

And he must still
be here someplace.

Wilykat!

Lion-o: can you hear us?

Wilykat: lion-o! Kit! I'm here!

Wilykit: he hears us, lion-o.

He's alive!

Wilykat, where are you?

Wilykat: way up, at
the top of the tower!

Can you follow the
sound of our voices

And come to where we are?

Wilykat: I can't. I'm in
some sort of cage.

He's a prisoner.

We'll find you then, kat.

Stay calm.

Lion-o, look! Leading upwards.

And up is where
we want to go, so...

These steps... Like rubber.

Yuck!

And these steps are sticky.

Hang on, kit.

I'll try to get you loose.

Whoa! Another crazy step.

I can't get a... A foothold.

Unh!

All right, kit. I
have a solid grip.

Grab my leg and try
to pull yourself up.

[Kit grunting]

I'm free, lion-o.

Good.

Now hang on while I
pull us up to the landing.

Aah!

By thundera!

Ah, gee, lion-o.

Are we gonna have to
go through all that again?

Not if I can help it.

Climb onto my back
and hold tight, kit.

h*!

♪ Feel the magic,
hear the roar ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

Unh!

Phew! We made it.

Barely.

What kind of place is this,

And who does it belong to?

It's the tower of carnor,

A robber baron who's been
looting the countryside

For years and years.

Ah...

He probably set these traps

To keep other robbers
from getting at his loot.

Look, lion-o.

2 Ramps. Which one
should we take?

Hmm. What the...

Look out!

Well, that solves the question

Of which ramp we take.

Off you go, wilykit.

Good luck.

You, too, lion-o.

Looks like a ceremonial
chamber of some kind.

Unh!

Unh!

Huh?

Unh! Unh!

Unh! Ah! Unh!

Unh! Ah! Unh!

Unh! Ah!

You said a mouthful, gruesome.

The tower divides
here, for some reason...

Kind of a narrow ramp to cross.

No big deal for a
thundercat, though.

Aah!

[Struggling]

[Struggling continues]

Whew!

This place is a
regular fun house,

Only the robber baron
left the fun out of it.

What's happening?
No more tricks?

Unh!

[Crash]

Acid.

Even so, our invisible baron

Didn't try hard
enough on this trap.

That's no way an
impossible jump.

Huh?

Aah!

[Panting]

That was too close.

The gap is closing...

And fast.

Unh!

I underestimated you, baron.

It won't happen again.

There will be a reckoning
when we finally meet,

Baron carnor.

I'm looking forward to it.

This room looks
innocent enough...

A little too innocent.

Let's see.

Ha!

I'm getting to know you, baron.

Aah!

Ahh! Eeh! Unh!

[Door opens]

Nothing sneaky about
the baron's trap this time.

Wilykat, I wouldn't ask
you to do this for me,

But you'd do it
without my asking.

So here goes nothing.

Oh!

Unh!

Ohh!

Lion-o!

Are you hurt, kit?

I don't think so.

The tower doesn't
go much higher.

Wilykat has to be
around here somewhere.

Wilykat!

Can you still hear us?

Wilykat: your voices
are much closer...

Very close.

He's right above us.

Where are you, wilykat?

Here, lion-o!

Here where?

Up here!

Did baron carnor do this to you?

I haven't seen anyone, lion-o.

This cage suddenly
came down on top of me,

And the next thing I knew,

I was a chandelier.

When the cage hits the floor,

Jump, wilykat!

Oh, wilykat,

I was so... Well,

You see where your
curiosity got you...

And us?

Yeah, yeah... Ok.

Can we get out
of this place now?

Not until I have it out

With our tormentor.

All of his traps led here,

So this must be his
treasure chamber.

Deep voice: enter.

The fun's over, baron.
Now we get serious.

You are baron
carnor, are you not?

Why doesn't he answer?

Yeah.

He told us to enter.

Kit, light that lamp
and bring it here.

[Everyone gasps]

Lion-o,

He isn't alive.

No.

And he hasn't been
for a long time.

Looks like he still
couldn't bear to be parted

From his treasure, though.

Wilykit: and he set all
those traps to make sure

No one else could get it either.

Remember jaga saying,

"It's wise to save your money
and to spend it carefully,

But greed can destroy you."

Yeah, jaga must have
had this guy in mind.

But if the baron

Hasn't been robbing everybody

All these years,

Who has?

Those guys we chased off

Ran to this place.

Where are they?

Yeah.

And who told us to enter?

Deep voice: enter!

[Garbled voice] enter! En...

A recording.

The baron's final trap.

Oh, wow, lion-o!

How do we get out of this one?

Shh!

It's a gold bracelet.

And look!

2 Hearts intertwined.

It's the wedding
gift that was stolen

From the wollo traveler.

The thieves are up there.

It's also our way out.

Quick, tie some of these
cloaks and robes together.

You two go up first.

My weight might loosen it.

There's nothing
up here, lion-o...

Just a bunch of gargoyles.

No sign of the thieves
anywhere, lion-o.

[Monster roaring] what the...

[Roaring]

[Roaring continues]

[Roaring continues]

Thunder, thunder, thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

♪ Thunder, thunder,
thunder, thundercats ♪

That tower... The
thundercats signal

Is directly above it.

And it looks like someone
messing around up top.

Faster, panthro!

♪ Thundercats are on the move ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

The grapple g*ns, panthro.

Grapples. The
thundercats are here!

What kind of...

[Roars]

[Roaring continues]

Heavy.

What's this guy made of?

What was that all about, lion-o?

What were they?

[Panting] tell you...

Soon as i...

Catch my breath.

So baron carnor brought
the gargoyles to life

To do his robbing for him,

And they kept stealing
even after he was gone.

Then the baron was a
magician as well as a bandit.

Always a bad combination.

Wilykit: oh, look!

The wollo wedding.
Wait here a minute.

Come on, wilykat.

Oh, my!

My young saviors.

Welcome, friends!

No bride should be
without her wedding present

On her wedding day.

From your father,

El papa.

Lion-o, you're safe!

Oh, sure. I'm fine.

And listen, snarf,

I'm sorry I pulled that
dirty trick on you before.

That's ok.

I know it's a pain
having your elders

Worrying about you all the time,

But it's only because
we care about you.

Purr!

Heck, you'll understand someday.

I understand now, snarf,

Because I worry about you...

And for the same reason.

Snarf! Snarf!
