03x05 - ThunderCubs Part V

[bunniefuu]

In the last episode of Thundercubs...

...the Thundercats turned into
carefree, childish Thundercubs.

Then, just when Lion-0 had instructed
them to return to Third Earth...

...Mumm-Ra attacked.

Too late, Thundercubs.

You'll never return to Third Earth.

You're marooned on Thundera.

And this is where I will finally...

...destroy you!

You'll never leave
this planet, Thundercubs.

This is the end for you.

I have to free the Feliner
from Mumm-Ra's spell.

h*!

You'll regret that, Thundercat.

This better work. Snarf, snarf.

Reow! Leave him alone, you horrible dog.
Leave him and go on home.

What?

No!

h*!

It's okay, Snarf. It'll be okay.

He's gone, Snarf...

...but he'll be back
and we must be prepared.

If only...

...I could decipher the Book of Omens,
Ma-Mutt...

...all our troubles would be over.

Ah! I can't make any sense of it.

Oh, ancient spirits of evil...

...grant me the strength
to overthrow...

...those meddlesome
do-gooders, the Thundercats.

Mumm-Ra.

Do you hear us, Mumm-Ra?

I-- 1 do hear you.

Who are you?

We are the ancient spirits of evil...

...and we have heard your plea.

When the time comes...

...we will indeed give you the power...

...to finish the Thundercats
for all eternity.

You will never regret this.

I will be your loyal sl*ve and--

Cease groveling, Mumm-Ra.

Now go to your sarcophagus.

Rest. And when you next
encounter the wretched Lion-0...

...even you will be astonished
at your power.

Where are you taking us?

Think of it as a mystery tour.

But don't worry...

...we'll put you to good use.

Oh, where are you, Thundercats?

If ever we needed you,
we need you now.

I wish Lion-O were here.

He'd get us out of this, somehow.

Silence.
Get back down that mine...

...and fetch another load
of Thundrillium, Thunderkittens.

Psst.
-Ah!

Shh!

Over here.

It's the Snowman of Hook Mountain.

Snowmeow.

Boy, are we glad to see you.

Let's cut you free from that.
Hold out your wrists.

I just hope you know what...

...you're doing.

Luna will skin us alive if we tell her
the Thunderkittens have escaped.

So who's going to tell her
they escaped?

We'll say they fell
into a Thundrillium pit.

That's probably
what happened anyway.

The Thundrillium bunkers are full,
so let's get moving.

I've been watching it for several days.

It's definitely headed for Third Earth.

It's the Feliner.

Reow! Lion-O, I don't like this.
Why are we here?

We need that Book of Omens, Snarf.

And since we lost the mutants,
only one person knows where it is.

Reow. That Mumm-Ra monster.

Exactly.

This leads into a cavern
beneath the pyramid, Snarf.

Why don't you stay here.

Reow. I'm not afraid
of any Egyptian relic.

Egyptian relic, eh?

Well, we'll see about that.

Ancient spirits of evil...

...transform this decayed form...

...to Mumm-Ra...

...the ever-living!

Right on time, yup.
Perfect navigation, Tygra.

Well, thanks, Snarfer.

Prepare for touchdown, Thundercubs.

Right on time.

Boy, are those Lunataks
in for a surprise...

...when we turn up at Sky-Tomb
with a full-strength Thundercat force.

Wha--? Wha--? Who?

Panthro?

Cheetara? Tygra? Snarfer?

What happened?
-And where's Lion-0?

You obviously know us,
but who are you?

I'm Wilykit and this is
my brother, Wilykat.

This is all too weird.
You better do some explaining.

Well, let's start with Lion-O.

He stayed on Thundera
to find the Book of Omens.

He sent us to help you free your--
Our friends.

The Lunataks have Lynx-O,
Bengali and Pumyra...

...imprisoned in Sky-Tomb.

And where is Sky-Tomb?

Deep in Dark Side.
Behind the Forest of Mists.

That's gonna be our first problem,
getting through the forest.

Uh.

Cheetara. What's the matter?

I don't know. For a moment...

...I saw Lion-O in some kind of danger.

Like a daydream.

Reow. Lion-O. Come quick.
I found it. The Book of Omens.

That's it, all right, Snarf.
Now let's get back to Third Earth.

I know there's a way in around here.

Wait a minute. The Cats' Eyes.

We'll be able to see
if we use the Cats' Eyes.

There. Just ahead.

Here goes.

It's getting darker.

What's happening?
My Cats' Eyes are fading.

I can't keep going.

I'm losing vision.

Sword of Omens,
give me sight beyond sight.

The Feliner.

The Thundercubs are trying
to fly through the Forest of Mists.

They're going to crash!

They're going to crash!

-They'll be destroyed.
And I'll destroy you.

-Mumm-Ra.
-Yes.

A Mumm-Ra...

...you have never encountered before...

...Thundercat.

h*!

You've met your match, Lion-O.

And there is no one here...

...to help you.

We'll see about that, Mumm-Ra.

Reow!

No. Get back, you nasty mutt.

Now sit. And don't you dare
move a whisker until I tell you.

Oh! Reow.

I let us down, Thundercubs.

It wasn't your fault, Cheetara.

I guess the Cats' Eyes
just didn't have enough power.

So, what's the plan now?

Cheetara. You can get us out of here.

Me? How?

You may not know it now,
but when you grow up...

...you'll have a sixth sense...

...you'll know and see things
the rest of us can't.

You know, Cheetara, you already
have some kind of power like that.

You're right, Tygra.

Sometimes I get
a kind of insight into things.

Then you must concentrate, Cheetara.

Shut everything else out of your mind.

Find a way out of here.

h*!

h*!

We're there. We should be right on
the edge of the forest. I know it!

-Look.
-We did it. We're through.

I don't understand
why this ground is all burned up.

Not even Sky-Tomb is entirely
self-sufficient, Snarfer...

...and even Lunataks need water.

This is where they load it.

We'll wait here till Sky-Tomb lands...

...then we'll sneak aboard
while they're filling their tanks.

Reow. Above you, Lion-0O.

Whoa. Reow!

Reow!

So, Thundercat...

...you have finally met your doom.

No. No.

What have I done?

Let's go, Snarf.

Lion-O. Wait.
We have to save Ma-Mutt.

-What?
-l mesmerized him...

...with the magic flute.

He's helpless. I'm responsible.

I just can't leave him there.

Okay. I can't argue with that.

We're free!

-We're free!
-No more Mumm-Ral!

I don't think this new Thundera...

...is going to be too safe
for us mutants...

...for much longer, Slithe.

Mmm. I get the feeling we should
beat it back to Third Earth, yes?

This is it. The power room.

Get your Cats' Eyes.

Panthro and I will blow out
the electric system.

That'll give us a few minutes...

...before the Lunataks
can switch to emergency power.

Thunderkittens!

No!

What's happening here?
Get those lights on.

Switch to emergency power.

Fetch Red Eye.

Prepare yourselves, Thundercats.

Over there.

We have to find out
what's happening to the Thundercubs.

Sword of Omens,
give me sight beyond sight.

They've freed the Thundercats, Snarf.
Uh-oh.

Find them, Red Eye.
I'll teach those wretches...

...that no one messes with Luna.

We have to get back
to Third Earth, Snarf.

But how, Lion-0?
We're marooned up here.

Wait a minute.
How did Mumm-Ra get here?

Ma-Mutt came with Mumm-Ra.
He'd know.

Play the flute, Lion-O, and wake me
when it's over. Snarf, snarf.

How did you get here, Ma-Mutt?
Show me how you got here.

Stand aside, Ma-Mutt.

Come on, Snarf.

Mumm-Ra traveled from
Third Earth to Thundera in this?

I don't like it, Lion-O.
Snarf, snarf.

We don't have much choice, Snarf.
Hold tight.

Reow.

Be a good dog, Ma-Mutt.
Take us to Third Earth.

Welcome home, Thundercats.

h*!

Quick. Follow me.

Take it away, Ma-Mutt.

Thundercubs, h*!
Hol!

The Cave of Time is the only way...

...the Thundercubs can return
to their true Thundercat ages.

But what happens
if they stay in there too long?

They'll end up older than me.

Aw, Ma-Mutt, I miss you too...

...but I am abandoned
here on Thundera...

...and only the ancient spirits of evil...

...Can rescue me Now.

Yes, yes, Ma-Mutt.

Mumm-Ra, the ever-living...

...is back!

Well, we didn't find
all of the Treasure of Thundera...

...but we didn't do so badly.

The important thing is that
the Thundercubs are Thundercats again.

We do have the Book of Omens...

...which will keep
the eye of Thundera's secrets safe.

-Thundercats.
Hol!
