03x06 - Totem of Dera

[bunniefuu]

Once again, you miserable mutants...

...have failed to rid me
of those accursed Thundercats.

It's the Eye of Thundera, Mumm-Ra.

It's too powerful.

Power? Power?

I'll show you power.

Mumm-Ra.

I have done your bidding, Mumm-Ra.

I searched the New Thundera,
seeking the Thundercats' treasure.

And I have found the Totem of Dera.

The Totem of Dera.

Ancient spirits of evil...

...tell me of the Totem of Dera.

How can I use it...

...against the Thundercats?

We ancient spirits of evil...

...have heard your plea, Mumm-Ra.

And it pleases us to tell you...

...that the Totem of Dera...

...has legendary healing powers.

Through the centuries...

...successive generations
of Thundercats...

...have used the totem
to overcome sickness and disease.

But how can I use...

...healing powers
against the Thundercats?

How?

The Totem's healing powers
are so great...

...that it can even bring
inanimate objects to life.

You, Mumm-Ra, can pervert
its energies with your dark powers...

...and, using the Totem...

...you can create demons...

...the likes of which the Thundercats...

...have never dreamed possible.

Yes.

But the using of the Totem...

...could prove dangerous.

You there, Vultureman.

Oh, I-- Yes, Mumm-Ra?

This totem, if you could instill
your weapons with its power...

...surely you would have
a force to equal that...

...of the Eye of Thundera?

Oh! Certainly, Mumm-Ra.

I will destroy the Thundercats...

...and prove we mutants are
worthy of your service.

Very well, mutant.

But do not dare fail me.

Oh, I won't.

Trust me, Mumm-Ra.

Trust me.

Looking good, Snarfer.

Now, remember what I told you:

Always keep your eye
on your opponent.

Right.

Reow! Aah!

It's no use, Wilykit.

I don't think I'll ever be a Thundercat.

Nope. No, sir.

Just believe in yourself, Snarfer.
-Huh?

Use the talents you have
and you'll always find a way...

...to do your part
as a member of the team.

Lion-O's right.

-Always re--
-Uh-oh. Wilykit, look.

Someone's trying to signal us.

Attention, Lion-0.

I'm picking up strong indications...

...of mutant activity
in the region of the Baleful Swamp.

The Baleful Swamp? Yeuch!

The mutants have been
awfully quiet lately...

...which means they're probably planning
some new treachery.

I'd better investigate.

Be careful, Lion-0.

Baleful Swamp is a dangerous place.

It is filled with poisonous water
and deadly mists.

The Catsuits may give you
some protection.

Good idea, and I'll take
two good Thundercats with me.

Wilykit and Snarfer.

Oh, boy.

This place gives me the creeps.

You better know how
that totem works, Vultureman...

...or I'll have your gizzard.
Ooh, ooh!

Ha, ha. If we fail this time...

...Mumm-Ra will skin us alive.

Oh! Mumm-Ra? Bah!

I can use the Totem of Dera
to take care of Mumm-Ra...

...and anyone else
who gets in my way. Aah!

The feathered fool.

Doesn't he realize that I know...

...that all mutants are treacherous?

I expect them to double-cross me.

But if they succeed
in destroying the Thundercats...

...it will be a simple matter
for me to step in...

...take over...

...and regain my preeminence
on Third Earth.

Look. Down there, Lion-O.

That's the River Of Poisons.

Hear that? Dismal Falls.

Which means that Baleful Swamp
is dead ahead.

Okay, hit it, Monkian.

Right. Ooh, ooh, ooh.

One phony distress signal coming up.

Lion-0O, look.

A distress signal.

Somebody's in trouble down there.

It's more likely to be a mutant trap,
but we have to go in for a closer look.

Careful how you go, Wilykit.

This would be a bad place
to be ambushed.

Ha-ha-ha. Here they come.

Now, Vultureman. Now!

I'm going to knock those Thundercats
right out of the sky.

False alarm, yep. Nobody here.

Do we go back home now?

Not until we find out
what's going on around here.

In this fog? We'll never. Oh!

-Aah!
Hang on, Wilykit. I'm coming.

Help!

Unh! Phew!

Thanks, Lion-O. You saved my life.

-What was that thing?
I don't know.

But I've got a feeling
we're not out of trouble yet.

The Thunderclaw wasn't meant
to carry three of us.

-We'll have to find a safe place to land.
You're going to land here?

-In the Baleful Swamp?
-Relax, Snarfer.

Relax? Look!

Be careful of this swamp water.

It's deadly poisonous if swallowed.

Aah!

-Lion-0.
-Lion-0.

-Lion-0.
-Reow!

Lion-O, what's wrong?

I-- I think I swallowed
some of that poisonous swamp water.

Snarfer!

Oh, Lion-0.

Uh, I-- I don't feel so goo--

Lion-O, speak to me.

Oh, please, don't let him be sick.

Snarfer, Snarfer,
what are we gonna do?

He said that swamp water
is deadly poisonous.

It's gonna destroy him. Reow.

So...

...those traitorous mutants
have succeeded in felling, heh, heh...

...the mighty Lion-O. Ha-ha-ha.

Good.

That means now is the time
for me to settle the score...

...with both the Thundercats
and the mutants.

Ancient spirits of evil...

...transform this decayed form...

...to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.

Lion-O? Can you hear me, Lion-O?

Unh. Jaga. Aah.

If only I was
a real Thundercat. Yep, Snarfer.

I'd know what to do right away.
Yep. Yes, sir.

You may not be able to see me, Snarfer,
but concentrate.

Hear my thoughts
and I will tell you what to do.

Listen.

The weapon Vultureman used...

...the Totem of Dera...

...the most magical and ancient
of our Thundercat treasures...

...that is the only hope
of saving Lion-0O.

Snarfer, what is it?

It's like someone is
talking to me...

...telling me what to do.

Wilykit, we have to find
the Totem of Dera.

We have to get it back
from Vultureman.

Totem of Dera? Vultureman?

What are you talking about, Snarfer?

It's the key to saving Lion-O.

Snarfer, no! Don't leave us.

I don't understand.
What's gotten into Snarfer?

I've done all I can do, Lion-O.

It's up to Snarfer now.

Oh, no, now what?

Oh. I can't let those mutants
catch Lion-0O like this.

Unh! Have to get him to safety.

We'll never find the Thundercats
in this fog.

Hm. Yeah, and besides, what are
we gonna do when we find them?

Ah! Do? What are we going to do
when we find the Thundercats?

This.

That must be the Totem of Dera
that will save Lion-O.

Snarfer, but what if those mutants
get me before I get it?

I-- I have to chance it,
for Lion-O's sake. Yep.

You give that to me, mutant, or else.

Give it up, Snarfer.

Yeah. You don't have a chance.

Nope.

Thundercats never give up.

No, sirree.

Don't just stand there, mutants.

Get after him!

Someone's coming.

It's okay, Wilykit.

It's me. Only me, Snarfer.

Snarfer.

What are you--?

Well, well.

An itty-bitty Thunderkitty.

Stand back, or....

Ha-ha-ha! Or what, pipsqueak?

It's okay, Lion-O. I'm here.

I'll heal you.

Wait a second.
I don't know how this thing works.

Reow. We're finished.

Lion-O. You-- You're all right.

Thanks to you. Never felt better.

As usual, mutants, you're very brave
when it's three against one...

...but when the odds are even,
you're just a bunch of cowards.

Are we gonna let him
talk to us like that?

Uh.... Yes.


I saved Lion-O. Me!

I'll take that, thank you, Snarfer.

Mumm-Ra. I might have known
you were behind this.

You're finished, Lion-O.

You will never withstand
the combined power...

...of the Totem of Dera
and Mumm-Ra's magic.

Ancient powers of healing...

...hear me and do my bidding.

Bring me the demon of the swamp.

Thunder, thunder, thunder.

Thundercats, h*!

The Thundercat signal.

That's with a capital T, for "trouble."

Lion-O needs us. Let's go.

Tygra ready, h*.

Cheetara ready, h*.

Reactor engaged. Let's go.

Thundercats, h*!

Stay behind me, you two.

Take that, you--

Holy Thundera.

The sword cut right through
the mud and gunk...

...without affecting that thing.

Hit it. Here it comes.

Bad news, Panthro.

The laser cannon
has no effect on that thing.

I've got worse news.

We're stuck.

Jump.

Panthro, the waterfall.

If we can divert it,
we can dissolve that swamp demon.

The waterfall's too far away.

We'll never make it.

We will if we all join together.

h*!

No!

We did it.
We stopped the swamp demon.

Yes, but we've lost
the Totem of Dera.

You'll pay for this...

...this indignity, Thundercats.

You'll rue the day
you crossed swords...

...with Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.

That was a close call, Lion-O.

Mm. Too close.

Thank you, Snarfer.
You saved us.

Golly, Snarfer. Yes, sir.

I was just trying to be
a Thundercat, Lion-0.

Thundercats, h*!
