03x09 - The Telepathy Beam

[bunniefuu]

Time's a-wasting.

If we're going to beat the Thundercats
to the Treasure of Thundera...

...we've got to figure out a way
to get to New Thundera.

So what are you two geniuses
doing about it?

Relax, Luna.

Vultureman and I have come up
with a plan to do just that.

And more.

Yeah, a bonus plan.

Only one person on Third Earth
has the know-how...

...to modify the Sky-Tomb
for the journey.

Panthro.

-So we capture him--
-And persuade him to do the job.

And the bonus is that in the process
we'll eliminate Cheetara for good.

I've double-checked
the atmospheric readings...

...and they look A-okay.

How about you, Lynx-0?

My readings match yours, Cheetara.

It's a go, Feliner. Take off.

We're on our way.
New Thundera, here we come.

Cheetara, we'll be making
several orbits...

...around New Thundera
scanning for the treasure.

If we get any readings
that look promising...

...we'll contact you immediately.

Good luck on the treasure hunt.

Lynx-O and I will be taking turns
monitoring your progress.

If you have any problems,
we'll switch you to remote power...

...and pilot you from Third Earth.

I'll be taking the first shift.

You're in good hands, Fefiner.

Cheetara, out.

Panthro really is a miracle-worker.

Without those modifications
he made to the Fefiner's engines...

...it could never have made it
to the New Thundera.

Where is Panthro, anyway?

Out in the ThunderTank.

He said he'd been working
so long and hard...

...he'd almost forgotten
what the countryside looks like.

-Well, when he gets back--
-Unh!

Cheetara, what's wrong?

Berbil Village.

The Berbil Village is under attack.

Slithe and Monkian
are strafing them with laser fire.

They need our help.

We've got to hurry, Lion-O.
There's no time to lose.

My sixth sense has never been
this strong before.

The images are sharp, distinct...

...and it's even worse than I thought.

Sky-Tomb is arriving.

It's a sl*ve raid.

We'll stop them.
Stop them once and for all.

Huh?

Hello, Thundercats.

Where's the fire? Ha, ha.

Ro-Bear-Bill, are you all right?

I'm fine, thank you.

How are you?

Where are the mutants?
Sky-Tomb?

We thought you were under attack.

What made you think that?

My sixth sense.
I was sure you were being enslaved.

Not today.

I don't know what to say.



I was wrong.

I'm seeing something else now.

it's the Warrior Maidens
who are under attack.

-Are you sure, Cheetara?
-Hurry, Lion-0.

Somehow I got my images confused,
but now it's clear.

I just hope the Warrior Maidens
can hold out until we get there.

This idea is brilliant, Vultureman.

I don't know why
we've never teamed up before.

I knew our combined skills...

...could make
the Telepathy Beam work.

All we have to do is plant enough
phony images In Cheetara's mind...

...and soon her sixth sense
won't be worth two cents.

Oh!

We just spotted Panthro
headed toward the Eastern Woods.

Then it's time for me
to be on my way.

With the Thunderclaw
off on a wild-goose chase...

...it will be easy to capture Panthro...

...and persuade him
to modify the Sky-Tomb...

...just like he did the Feliner.

We've got to beat them
to the treasure.

We've got the Sky-Tomb hidden
in Lost Canyon.

Are you sure that telepathic Thundercat
won't be able to trace him?

By the time we get through
playing with her mind...

...she won't be able
to find her way up from down.

Don't run off yet, my friend.

I need your help.

Uh-oh.

Come on, friend, get out of the road.
It's dangerous.

Hm. Let's see if the Thunderhorn
can wake this fellow up.

Poor fellow, he's frozen with fear.

I'd better get out
and lead him off the road.

That's right, my friend.

Don't move. Not an inch.

That's funny.
I don't see any sign of the Lunataks.

But I know what
my sixth sense told me.

Keep your eyes open for a trap.

Surprise, Thundercat!

We have had no trouble in a long time.

The mutants and the Lunataks
leave us alone...

...now that they know
you will come to our aid.

I'm seeing things, Lion-O.

My powers are failing me, and I've
brought us on two wild-goose chases.

I've never known you
to be wrong before, Cheetara.

Let's take a look around.
We'll circle the woods.

Hello, my old friend.

You know you can trust me.

Cheetara!

What's the matter, Cheetara?
Is it another vision?

I thought I saw Panthro.

TugMug and Alluro were after him.

-But I was wrong. It was nothing.
-Are you sure?

I've made a fool of myself twice today...

...and that's two times too many.

I'm sure, Lion-0O.

Listen carefully, Panthro,
and pay attention.

We need you to do a job for us...

...so we can do a job
on the Thundercats.

A hatchet job.

I want you to equip the Sky-Tomb...

...so that it can make
the journey to New Thundera.

Do you understand?

I understand and I will obey.

Cheetara, you ain't seen nothing yet.

This ought to send
the Thundercats looking for Panthro...

...in all the wrong places.

I don't know what to tell you, Lion-O.

I have no explanation
for what happened today.

-It's as if--
-Bad news, Lion-O.

We found the ThunderTank abandoned,
and no sign of Panthro anywhere.

Oh, no! I thought
Panthro was in trouble...

...but I was afraid to say anything
after what happened.

I was afraid to look foolish.

And now....

I'm getting new images of Panthro.

He's on Hook Mountain.

Unh! No, he's in the Pyramid.

Castle Plun-Darr.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know what's real anymore.

We can't afford
to let any lead go unchecked.

Thunderkittens, grab your Cat Suits,
and get up to Hook Mountain. Scour it.

Tygra, grab the Spring Heels,
and check out Castle Plun-Darr.

I'll pay a call on Mumm-Ra.

What about me, Lion-O?

I think you'd better stay here,
Cheetara.

Uh, the Feliner may call in for help.

He's lost faith in me.

And I don't blame him.
I've lost faith in myself.

Panthro!

Panthro!

Can you hear us?

Look, someone's built a fire.

Maybe it's Panthro.

Let's check it out.

Chilla.

It's a good thing you're wearing
your thermal "thunderwear," kitties...

...you're going to need it.

Whoa!

Getting in there is no problem
with these Spring Heels.

And now for the fast fade.

Now you see me, now you don't.

Right on schedule.

Panthro!

Hang tight, Panthro.
I'll get you out of there.

Aah! You've been had, Thundercat.

We'll see about that, Luna.

Thunder, thunder--

No!

No. No.

Ugh. Sleep gas.

Aah! Thanks, Mumm-Ra.

We're in trouble, tower.

We've lost power,
and our orbit is decaying.

Don't worry, Feliner,
we'll recharge your energy bank...

...from the Lair's Thundrillium packs.

Cheetara, are you monitoring?

I'm monitoring, tower, but--

Activate the remote
power charge, Cheetara.

I'm not sure which sequence.

We're shaking apart, Third Earth.

Activate now, Cheetara. Hurry!

Too much power
could blow them apart.

One mistake and--

Packs 12, four, and six. Now!

We're back in orbit, but just barely.

I'm afraid we'll have to come back.

Very well, Feliner.

I'm programming you
for automatic return.

Over and out.

I'm sorry, Lynx-O.

My indecision cost precious time
and ruined the mission.

Cheetara, you know that sequence
like the back of your hand.

You taught it to me.

-What happened?
-I don't trust myself anymore.

Not after what's been happening.

Tell me about it.

h*!

Sword of Omens...

...give me sight beyond sight!

Aah!

This thing is worthless to us.

-Trash it, Amok!
-Amok trash.

Aah!

Never mind that wretched
Sword of Omens, Luna.

Our Thundercat sl*ve has almost finished
Sky-Tomb's engine modifications.

Soon we will take off for Thundera...

...and the Thundercats' treasure
will be ours.

And on the way...

...we'll jettison the Thundercats
out into deep space.

Ah. This ought to blow Cheetara's mind.

Literally. Ha-ha-ha!

So many terrible images.

Are they real or false?

Cheetara, come in. Urgent!

Unh! I'm here, but these images...

...they're destroying my mind.

My sixth sense is out of control!

Listen to me, Cheetara.

In piloting the Thunderclaw...

...I've been picking up
atmospheric readings...

...like I've never seen before.

Based on what you told me,
I'd say it's some kind of...

...psycho-electric field.

You mean someone
is planting these images...

...in my mind deliberately?

Then I've got to fight back.

But how?

Cheetara, I gather
my information with my ears.

And because my hearing is so acute,
I pick up sounds that no one else hears.

So many sounds,
that sometimes it's impossible...

...to sort out
the information they provide.

When that happens,
I quit listening with my ears...

...and listen with my heart.

Listen to your heart, Cheetara.

What does it tell you?

I am Cheetara.

In my heart, I know
I'm the strongest of my kind.

The pride of my people.

I am unique in this universe...

...and I will not be defeated!

The engines! The engines are burning!

h*!

h*!

h*!

Hang tight, Lion-O.
I'm back on the team.

I don't know how you did this,
but you're going to pay for it.

Thunder, thunder...

...thunder...

...Thundercats, h*!

Look, Bengali, Lion-O needs us.

-Attack them.
-Not just now, Luna. Look.

No way can we take on the Feliner
with our engines off line.

It's time to cut and run.

It's not over, Thundercats.

We'll be back.

Thundercats, h*!

Now there's one image
I can always trust.

Wow, Cheetara!
We knew you were telepathic...

...but we never dreamed
you were telekinetic.

Neither did I.

But I was so angry and desperate...

...I tapped into strength
I didn't know I had.

-Do you think you could do it again?
-l don't know.

But I do know this: I'm stronger now.

I may not be able
to control my sixth sense...

...but I know that when I do use it...

...it won't weaken me
the way it has in the past.

Well, it's been some day, all right.

And I better get my gear together.

As soon as Snarf gets back
from the Berbil Village...

...we're going over to the tower
to repair the Thunderclaw.

Then you'd better hurry, because Snarf
should be getting here just about now.

I'm back. Snarf.

Did I miss anything?

How did you know, Cheetara?
Did your sixth sense tell you?

No, I saw him coming
from the window.
