[ROARS]

Thundercats!

MUMM-RA: The Eye of Thundera!

The Sword of Omens!

Lion-O and his wretched sword.

Thunder, thunder, thunder,

Thundercats! h*!

[GROWLING]

He calls his mangy
friends to his aid with it.

h*!

MUMM-RA: He defeats
my monster creations with it.

He destroys the most
powerful w*r machines

on Third Earth with it.

[SQUAWKS]

LION-O: Thundercats! h*!

MUMM-RA: And those miserable
mutants are certainly no match for it.

There must be something...

some way of smashing
the Sword of Omens forever!

Ahhh!

Ancient spirits of evil,

show me a way!

Tell me!

Speak to me!

Anything!

Arghhhhh!

VOICE: There may
be a way, Mumm-Ra.

There was once a sword...

called Excalibur!

It was created by the
most powerful wizard

the world has ever known:

Merlin!

It was a time of
darkness, evil and w*r.

Whoever plucks Excalibur
from its stone will bring peace,

justice and
happiness to this land.

VOICE: The most powerful
warriors and knights failed

to free the sword, Excalibur.

But then, one day, an
unknown youth appeared

and drew the sword
from the stone.

So began the legend of
King Arthur and Excalibur,

the most powerful
sword in history.

He fought for justice
and honor against all evil.

[WHINNIES]

You cannot rescue me!

Look!

These helmets are all that
remain of anyone who has tried!

Save yourself while you can!

[GROANS]

Yah!

How can I gain possession
of this mighty sword?

When King Arthur's
reign was ended,

he ordered

one of his knights,
Sir Bedivere,

to return Excalibur to
the Lady of the Lake...

where it waits through eternity.

MUMM-RA: Will Excalibur defeat

the Sword of Omens?

Excalibur is the most powerful
sword that ever existed,

but it will only reappear
when King Arthur returns

to reclaim his crown.

When King Arthur returns...

When King Arthur returns...

Ancient spirits of evil,
transform this decayed form

to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.

[CACKLING]

Give me the guise
of noble King Arthur.

Lady of the Lake!

I have returned to
reclaim my kingdom

and my sword, Excalibur!

[LAUGHING]

Lion-O...

[LAUGHS]

your time has come!

LION-O: Who are you?

Insolent boy!

Is that a greeting to one who
has journeyed through time

to fight for justice,
truth, honor, loyalty!

The Code of Thundera!

How do you know about
the Code of Thundera?

Your Lord Jaga sent
me here to aid you

in ridding Third Earth of
Mumm-Ra and all of his evil!

If that's true...

You doubt my word?

The word of a knight!

I didn't mean to offend you. We
would welcome anyone who will

fight side by side
with the Thundercats!

Especially someone
known to Lord Jaga.

Oh, I'm sorry, youth.
Uh, clumsy of me.

Let me take your swor... Ahh!

[YOWLS]

Hey!

Oh, I beg your pardon.
Strange creature.

I don't like anyone
to touch my sword.

I'm sure you understand.

Sure.

MUMM-RA: Well, young Thundercat,

I see you have a sword too.

May I see it?

Uh, well, I, uh...

No matter. No matter.

Even from here I can see

it's hardly a match
for Excalibur.

SNARF: That's The Sword of
Omens, I'll have you know. Snarf, snarf.

[LAUGHING]

Sword of Omens?

How quaint.

And are you still
training to be a knight?

Look, I don't know who you are
or where you come from, but...

Easy, Lion-O.

This stranger is our guest.

Shouldn't someone be
looking after my horse?

Snarf, snarf.

Are you guys gonna take this?

You certainly know how to rub
people the wrong way, stranger.

If you're going to
join us in our fight

to spread the
Code of Thundera...

[LAUGHING]

Me? Join you?

I thought that's
why you came here!

Insolent whelp!

I am here to command
you to fight for me!

I don't think you understand...

You have no choice, cub!

You and your worthless
friends will fight under my banner!

Now, just wait a minute...

You dare argue with a knight?

I dare to...

Then let your toy
sword speak for you!

Unless your courage fails
you, we will meet at dawn!

[NEIGHS]

[WIND WHISTLING]

PANTHRO: Where's Lion-O?

He should be there by now.

TYGRA: He'll be there.

The whole thing's ridiculous.

He's fighting to save his pride.

He had no choice, Cheetara.

Of course he had a choice!

He could have walked away!

He's just lowering himself to
that... That madman's level.

MUMM-RA: So much
for your champion,

Thundercats.

He doesn't even have
the courage to show!

SNARF: Don't speak
too soon. Snarf, snarf.

How appropriate.

A mongrel servant for...

[HORSE WHINNIES]

Honor is satisfied!

The joust is finished!

We'll finish it, Thundercat,
the moment I have a lance!

Here's your lance!

[WHINNIES]

Ugh!

Ahh!

Ah!

h*!

[GRUNTING]

CHEETARA: We should stop this!

PANTHRO: No!

It's a matter of honor.

Lion-O got into this.

He has to get out by himself.

He'd never forgive
us if we intervened.

Ooh! Oh.

[GROANS]

[MOANS]

[TYGRA & PANTHRO GROAN]

[MUMM-RA CACKLING]

So much for the Eye of Thundera,

the source of the
Thundercats' power!

[LAUGHING]

No match for mighty Excalibur!

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

No match for mighty Mumm-Ra!

Mumm-Ra!

Yes, Lion-O.

Mumm-Ra!

Now you will feel
Excalibur's blade,

and Third Earth
will be mine forever!

[MUMM-RA GROANS]

Ahh!

Obey me, Excalibur!

[GURGLING]

[SCREAMING]

Fool! Did you think that
the greatest sword of all time

would serve your evil purposes?

Your brief moment
of glory is over!

Get back to your
dark sarcophagus!

[SCREECHES]

[GASPS]

Lion-O!

Thank Jaga. Snarf, snarf.

♪ Feel the magic Hear the roar ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

Who are you?

I am the wizard Merlin.

Excalibur is yours now.

You must decide its fate.

Where did Mumm-Ra get it?

From the Lady of the Lake,
who has guarded Excalibur

for thousands of years.

Then, Merlin,
you must return it.

h*!

We have a sword that fights

for justice, truth,
honor and loyalty.

The Code of Thundera!

[GROWLS]

So be it.

THUNDERCATS: Thundercats! h*!

Sword of Omens, give
me sight beyond sight!

SNARF: But why didn't you
keep it, Lion O? Snarf, snarf.

LION-O: I had to return it.

But you won it!

Merlin gave it to you!

No, he didn't, Snarf.

He said I had to decide,
and I told him to return it

to the Lady of the Lake.

Why?

Because I didn't earn it!

You beat Mumm-Ra!

I should never have fought him.

Cheetara was right.

I let him get to me, and
until I can control that,

I've got a long way to go.
