03x08 - Crystal Canyon

[bunniefuu]

Come on, Lion-0.
There's nothing on the monitor.

And you promised
we'd play Snarfball today.

Snarf, snarf.

No, Snarf. I could have sworn
that I picked up...

...a Lunatak transmission a moment ago.

Maybe if I activate the booster circuits,
we can--

Coordinates. The treasure.

By Jaga! Lunataks.

Are you sure the Treasure
of Thundera is safely hidden?

Of course, Allura,
deep in the Crystal Canyon.

The Thundercats will never find it.

How on Third Earth did the Lunataks
get hold of the Treasure of Thundera?

Beats me, Lion-O. Snarf, snarf.

Well, if it's true, we have to get it back.

That'll be a tough assignment.

Most of the Thundercats
are up on Thundera...

...and the Crystal Canyon's
a strange place.

We'll just have to do the best we can.

-I wish Panthro were here.
-No use wishing, Snarf.

Round up Tygra and Lynx-O,
and meet me at the Thunderstrike.

There it is, the Crystal Canyon.

-It's beautiful.
-It's more than beautiful.

See how the crystals
make random patterns...

...but the deeper we go into the canyon,
the more regular the pattern becomes.

Those patterns lead to....
Lead to...

-...the Keystone.
-The Keystone?

What in the name of Jaga is that?

Snarf, snarf.

The Keystone is the source
of pure energy.

Hold on, Thundercats. We're going in.

-Lion-O. Look!
Chilla and Alluro.

They're using their reflected images
to confuse us.

Strange. I can't tell the real Lunataks
from their reflections.

Take your best guess, Lynx-O. Fire.

Give up, Thundercats.

It's futile to struggle.

You cannot win.

I must not give in to Alluro's power.

Another reflection.
We don't stand a chance.

Chill out, Thundercats.

The situation's hopeless.
-No, Lynx-O.

We must fight it.

I cannot give in.

Must aim laser cannons.

They've knocked out
the Thundrillium core.

We've lost all power.

Too late to eject.
We're losing altitude fast.

Brace yourself for the crash, Snarf.

That's good night
and thank you, Thundercats.

Come on, Chilla. Let's go celebrate.

Where--? Where am I?

What happened?

Lion-O!

Over here, Tygra.

Are you okay?

I-- I can make it.

Lynx-O.

Don't-- Don't worry about me.
I'm a tough old cat.

I'll-- I'll survive, but where's Lion-0?

By Thunderal!

I'll get you out of there.

Thank Jaga. He's still alive.

How bad is it, Lynx-O? Will he survive?

Of course he'll survive.
He's lord of the Thundercats.

I'm afraid that's no guarantee, Snarf.

Lion-O is badly injured.

What can we do?
We have to save him.

There may be a way.
-How, Lynx-O? Tell me.

The Keystone.
Its pure energy may revive Lion-0.

It may even re-power
the Thunderstrike.

Tygra will need your help, Snarf.

I'll stay here with Lion-O.

Besides...

...I can't move much.

I've injured my legs.

Don't worry, Lion-O.
We'll find that Keystone.

Old Snarf'll never let you down.

It's just as Lynx-O said.

The repeating shapes are leading us
straight to the center of the canyon.

To the Keystone!

Tygra, look there.

The shapes all point
to the opening of that cave.

The Keystone must be in there.

What are we waiting for? Let's go.

I hope that Keystone
has energy to spare.

Me too, Snarf.

Be as quiet as you can, Snarf.

Any loud noise could dislodge
those stalactites and cut us to ribbons.

Don't worry about old Snarf.
I'll be as quiet as Mumm-Ra's tomb.

Snarf.

Snarf, are you--?

Oh!

It's-- It's magnificent!

It's spectacular. I have to touch it.

What the--?

Get your act together, Tygra,
and get that Keystone to Lion-0.

It's true! Pure energy.

-Tygra?
-I feel it, Snarf.

Pure energy, surging through my body.

Then what are we waiting for?
Let's get the Keystone back to Lion-O.

-Lion-O! I almost forgot.
-Forgot?

You forgot Lion-O?

Come on, Snarf. I'll carry you.

We've got tracks to make.

We made it back as fast as we could.
How's Lion-0O?

His pulse is growing weaker
by the moment.

Quickly, give him the Keystone.

Isn't it amazing?

How could something so small
contain so much power?

What...? Where am I?

Jaga!

There is great danger
in the Keystone, Lion-0.

The holder of the Keystone
will become dependent on its power.

In the end,
the Keystone will destroy him.

I-- I can stand again.
Yet, I could not move before.

Truly, this Keystone is remarkable.

No! There is great danger
in the Keystone.

The holder of the Keystone
slowly becomes a sl*ve to its power.

Jaga has told me so.

Tygra, stop. Listen to me.

Out of my way, Lion-O.

I need-- We need that crystal.

This crystal saved your life, Lion-O.

It healed Lynx-O's legs.

It is a power for good.
It will help all the Thundercats.

The Keystone is powerful, Tygra.

But its power exacts a terrible price.

How can there be any harm in something
that multiplies our natural power?

Listen to Lion-O, Tygra.

After all, he's the lord of the--

Hal

I might have expected you
to side with Lion-0.

I didn't mean anything bad.

Lighten up, Tygra.
What's the matter with you?

I'm sorry, Snarf.
I guess I was overexcited.

I'll go fix the Thunderstrike.

I must warn you, Lion-0...

...it seems to me that the Keystone...

...already has some kind of power
over Tygra.

This could be a threat as dangerous
as any the Thundercats have ever faced.

The Thundrillium core
is badly damaged...

...but maybe the Keystone's vast power
will reenergize the Thunderstrike.

I knew it would work.

Nothing is beyond
the power of the Keystone.

Gentlemen, your carriage awaits.

Everyone thinks Panthro is Mr. Fix-It.

But with the Keystone,
I'm every bit as good as he is...

...maybe better.

Lunataks! Stay away from me.

Hey! Take it easy, Tygra. It's only us.

Oh, right. I knew that.

Next time, just don't sneak up on me.

Tygra, Lynx-O and I
are worried about you.

The Keystone is doing
strange things to you.

It seems to have you in its power.

It's altering your personality.

If it is changing me...

...the Keystone is changing me
for the better.

Perhaps you find that threatening.

-No, it's just that I--
-Ever since I was a kid, I was shy...

...but with the Keystone,
I feel self-confident.

For the first time in my life,
I feel like I could do anything.

Anything!

Lion-O speaks the truth, Tygra.

You are slowly becoming
a sl*ve to the Keystone.

A sl*ve? Ha!

Is-- Is Lion-O a sl*ve
to the Sword Of Omens?

No. Lion-O is master of the sword.

And now...

...I am master of the Keystone.

-Tygra, listen to me.
-No more talk!

I have work to do.

The Thundercats are jealous,
that's all.

I'm not a sl*ve to the Keystone.

I'm its master.

And I can do anything I want,
with or without it.

That's not right.

No, no, no. This won't work either.

The Keystone can help me.

I-- I-- I must use it.
I must have its power.

Ready for breakfast, Tygra?

Oh, Snarf. You.... You startled me.

I made these pancakes just for you.

Thanks, Snarf, but I'm just not hungry.

You have to eat something, Tygra.

This is your second day without food.

I don't need food.

I get my energy from the Keystone.

Tygra doesn't even realize how
dependent he's become on the Keystone.

I'm really worried about him, Snarf.

Well, at least everything else
on Third Earth is calm.

Me and my big mouth.

That's the Berbil Village.
The Berbils are in trouble.

Snarf, we need you
to stand watch here at Cats' Lair.

And don't leave your post for anything.

Like sh**ting Berbils in a barrel.

Give up, you ridiculous
mechanical teddy bears.

You cannot win
against the power of Alluro.

What?

Pick on someone your own size, Alluro.

Whoa!

Ha-ha.

You're no match
for the Keystone, Lunatak.

What?

Fool. You were
too wrapped up in yourself...

...to even notice me pull out
of that phony barrel roll.

No! The Keystone!

I must have it back.

No, Tygra.
Let it go, Tygra.

You don't understand.

I cannot live
without the Keystone, Lion-O.

Oh, I like this.

Yes, this is for me.

Hand it over, Alluro.

The Keystone is mine.

-Give it back!
-Never.

You'll have to take it from me,
if you can.

Please, Alluro. You must give it back.

I-- I need it.

Begging, pleading, groveling will
get you nowhere, you pathetic creature.

This Keystone is mine now.

Its power will help me to defeat Luna,
and become the leader of the Lunataks.

Nothing can stand in my way.

That's enough, Alluro.

Oh, no, my feline friends.

You cannot win
against my mesmerizing powers.

The power of the sword.

Oh, losing your strength, Thundercat?

Kneel.

This crystal has inspired me.

I have great plans for you,
my furry foe.

Imagine the look
on the other Lunatak's faces...

...when I, Alluro, return to Sky-Tomb
in the Thunderstrike...

...driving the lord of the Thundercats
before me...

...as my prisoner.

If you're good,
I may even give you to Chilla.

What a wonderful pet you'd make.

No.

Won't-- Won't let you
do this to the Thundercats.

Oh, really?
Well, now I have the crystal.

I am all-powerful. You are nothing.

Lion-O, Lynx-O, come with me.

Onward, sl*ves, to Sky-Tomb.

No. I can't let this happen.

Sword Of Omens.

Thunder, thunder, thunder.

Thundercats, h*!

That signal will do you no good.

Aside from Tygra,
your friends are all on Thundera.

And Tygra is a quivering wreck.

Think again, Alluro.

No, it's not possible!

Ha-ha.

You'll have to do better than that
to stop this cat.

No. My crystal!

I must have your power.

No! Wait! Stop!

No!

Tygra. What happened here?
Are you all right?

Never better, Lynx-O, old friend.
Never better.

But what happened to Alluro?

The same thing
that almost happened to me.

Thundercats, h*!

They should be here any second.

-Greetings from Thundera.
-Welcome back.

We've brought you some gifts.

For Snarf.

My favorite. Snarf-nip!

A rare Fredrillium stone,
from the Caves of Kondus.

For Lynx-O, a pet sandy-tailed boojie.

And for Tygra...

...a crystal scepter
from the Ruins of Karl.

Thanks, Panthro...

...but do you have anything in...

...uh, wood?
