Thundercats!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

ThunderTank to
Cats' Lair, come in.

TYGRA [OVER
COMMUNICATOR]: Tygra here.

I'm coming in with a
full load of Thundrillium.

Set up the processing equipment.

Roger.

Those giants have done it again!

We have to stop them.

Yes, but how?

How come Lion-O didn't
come back with you, Panthro?

He wanted to check out some
readings on the Thundrometer.

He'll be along.

It better be soon, snarf, snarf.

It's getting dark out there.

LION-O: Panthro went
through here, all right.

He's probably home by now.

Whew!

Prospecting for
Thundrillium sure is messy.

But it was worth checking
out those readings.

It's so peaceful here.

Loading complete.

Okay.

Let's process and
maximize fuel supplies.

Danger!

Hey...

Oomph!

Can't... move!

The Sword!

I warn you, whoever you are.

If you don't...

Let you go?

We can't.

You're too dangerous.

Who are you? What do you want?

I have work to do.

Come back here!

[♪♪♪]

Lion-O.

Lion-O.

Come in, Lion-O.

[RADIO STATIC]

Blasted piece of junk!

Lion-O!

Lion-O!

These strands are so tiny,

yet I feel too weak
to break them.

Sword of Omens, come to me!

[THUNDEROMETER BEEPS]

The Thundrometer!

It's picked up a reading.

Oomf! Argh!

[BEEPING]

Thundranium nearby.

No wonder I feel so weak.

It must be in these Glowstrands.

Urgh!

I'm getting weaker all the time.

I have to get out of here.

TYGRA: That fresh
batch of Thundrillium

sure makes a difference
in operating the Lair.

PANTHRO: Yeah, and if
Lion-O's readings were right,

there's plenty more.

What in the name of Jaga?

Switch to emergency power.

Switching.

Scanners operational?

Negative.

The sensors are out too.

And the auto defenders.

And main power.

We're only on manual.

A bad load of Thundrillium?

No.

The Thundrillium is
functioning perfectly.

What, then?

I'm going down to find out.

Lion-O.

Lion-O!

Why am I out here?

He's all grown now.

But I can't help it.

Lion-O!

[♪♪♪]

It happened a few minutes ago.

All the power is
gone in Cats' Lair?

Almost all.

They have only

emergency current.

Jackalman!

Get ready for reconnaissance.

It's probably temporary.

Still, it bears a
closer look, yesss?

Panthro's checked
the power-source room.

The power link is missing.

But who could enter the
chamber while the juice is on?

Good question.

PANTHRO: Tygra.

Where are you, Panthro?

PANTHRO: In the hangar.

Someone has sabotaged
the ThunderTank.

CHEETARA: Our weapons!

They're gone!

Jackalman. Vultureman.

Come back.

This is Jackalman. I copy.

Vultureman, here.

I read you.

We'll never have
a better chance.

Prepare to attack!

[HAMMERING]

SNARF: Mutants!

Snarf, snarf.

Heading for the Lair.

I've got to find Lion-O!

Is anything working?

Not much, Cheetara.

And not for long.

Any luck, Panthro?

PANTHRO: Forget it.

The spare power
link is gone too.

It'll take me hours
to make a new one.

Better get started.

I'll divert all our remaining
power to the workshop.

[expl*si*n]

Mutants!

Man the lasers!

Wow! Firing these things
by hand is hard work.

Yeah, and not very accurate.

I haven't hit anything yet.

[COUGHING]

Without power,
we're sitting ducks.

Look!

[♪♪♪]

No power! Blast it all!

That'll hold 'em.

But not for long.

Panthro's nun-chucks.

Cheetara's baton.

All our weapons and equipment.

LION-O: Why are you doing this?

We've caused you no harm.

No harm?

You giants have torn up our
countryside for the last time.

Torn up... what?

MICRIT: Our fields
and farms and houses.

Every time you come
rampaging through here.

I didn't realize this
area was inhabited.

Just because you
can't see something

doesn't mean it's not there.

I apologize for any
damage we've done.

But tying me up and stealing
our things won't help matters.

But it may stop you
blundering through our homes

and wrecking our lives.

Don't touch that!
It might hurt you!

I can take care of myself.

Aah!

SNARF: Lion-O!

Snarf! Over here!

Lion-O.

[GASPS]

Careful! Don't step on them.

What?

The Micrits.

They're all over the place.

I don't see anyone.

That's the problem.

I'll get you out
in a jiffy, Lion-O.

Don't you worry.

Old Snarf'll get
these off of you.

That won't work, Snarf.

These Glowstrands have
Thundranium in them.

Thundranium!

We've gotta get
you out of here, fast!

TYGRA: They're
in the central hall.

Mutants, inside the Lair,

and this is all we
have to fight with.

It's no use, snarf, snarf.

I can't shift them.

Maybe you can free the Sword.

LION-O: Sword of Omens...

come to my hand.

Thunder, thunder,

thunder...

Thundercats! h*!

[GROWLING]

Lion-O's in trouble.

We're going to have to
fight our way out of here.

Let's do it!

There must be some
way to cut this stuff.

Maybe Panthro will know.

[RUSTLING]

Your friends won't help you.

They're busy fighting
the other giants.

Other giants?

The mutants!

I saw them heading for the Lair.

Release me, by Jaga!

No. You've done enough
damage to our lives.

That's why we took
all your weapons

and sabotaged your
fortress and your vehicles.

Without them, you can't fight.

And if you can't fight,
maybe we can live in peace.

If I can just get to
their control room...

Aah!

Micrit, you must
free me right now.

For your own good.

My own good?

LION-O: Yes. For your own good.

Without our weapons,

the Thundercats may be
defeated by the mutants.

Then evil and destruction will
reign everywhere on Third Earth.

How can I trust
you if I free you?

I give you my word as the
Lord of the Thundercats.

Word? What's that?

It's a promise.

A promise can be broken.

Not if we trust each other.

If you will trust me
not to harm you,

I will trust you not to
harm my friend here.

I'll leave him with you.

Lion-O!

Is my word enough
for you, Micrit?

Very well.

But I warn you.

Any treachery, and you'll
never find your friend again.

I'll be back.

MICRIT: You have until dawn.

Hurry, Lion-O.

You fellas know
how to play chess?

Out of my way, kittens.

Your lease here has expired.

[SLITHE SCREAMING]

[PANTING]

What're we going to do
when we get to the top?

I don't know, but
it better be good.

I guess this is as good a place
as any to make a final stand.

I guess there's only
one way to do this.

This is it, Wilykit.

I won't let you down, Wilykat.

[♪♪♪]

h*!

Lion-O!

[LAUGHS]

A whole new ball game.

Lion-O made it to us!

All right!

♪ Thundercats are on the move ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

h*!

h*!

Argh!

h*!

Almost!

We almost had them!

LION-O: I'm not sure exactly
what these are, Panthro,

but I'll bet you know.

I sure do.

One power link and one
ThunderTank, coming right up.

The ThunderTank first, Panthro.

I've got a tight
deadline with Snarf.

[♪♪♪]

[ENGINE HUMMING]

I kept my word, Micrit.

You did, indeed, Thundercat.

And so, I will
release your friend.

Not so fast, Micrit.

We have business to finish.

Checkmate, I believe.

Snarf, snarf.

♪ Thunder, thunder,
thunder Thundercats ♪

[♪♪♪]

This way.

More.

That's it.

That's the last marker, Lion-O.

Good.

Now we know the exact
boundaries of the Micrits' territory.

We'll put it on all our maps,

and those markers will make sure

we don't go across
it by mistake.

Now, how about those new
Thundrillium deposits you found?

Right.

It's straight across there.

But we'll take a slight
detour from now on.

After all, being considerate
to your neighbors

is such a small thing, right?

Right.
