04x17 - Touch of Amortus

[bunniefuu]

[SIGNALS BUZZING]

[MA-MUTT YELPING]

MUMM-RA: Why do you wake
your master, you howling hound?

Mmm, what's this?

[MUMM-RA GRUNTS]

Amortus! What are you doing here?

Get your arm off me.

What is it you want,
you horrible creature?

AMORTUS: I am bored
in the Land of No Return, Mumm-Ra.

I wish to do evil.

Please release me so I may serve you.

-I released you once before.
-And I was grateful, Mumm-Ra.

You were treacherous.

You tried to take on
all the forces of good...

...and become
the dominant force of evil.

I'm glad the Thunderians...

...were able to banish you
to the Land of No Return.

AMORTUS:
Please, Mumm-Ra.

I will do anything you ask. Please.

Anything? Hmm....

MUMM-RA:
Perhaps I can use Amortus.

There is a Thundercat named Lynx-O.

Destroy him, Amortus.

For, without his wisdom,
Lion-O will be vulnerable.

Destroy him...

...and I will free you
from the Land of No Return.

[THUNDER CLAPPING]

LYNX-O: Strange, no storms
were predicted for this area.

Something's jamming
the Braille board.

Now, I am truly blind
and losing control.

[BEEPING]

CHEETARA: Lion-0O, Lynx-Q's fallen out
of tracking range.

Sword of Omens,
give me sight beyond sight.

LION-O: Lynx-O's lost control
of the Thunderstrike.

We've got to get to him, and fast!

Cheetara, Thunderkittens,
come with me.

Panthro, trace Lynx-O's last position
and compute his new location.

I'll radio it to you in the Feliner.

LION-O:
Let's go!

[WIND WHISTLING]

[LYNX-O GRUNTING]

I-- I can't take much more of this.

[CRASHING]

LION-O: Panthro's coordinates
put Lynx-O in this area.

Keep a sharp eye, everyone.

Look.
There, at the bottom of that crater.

Hold on. We're going down.

WILYKAT:
There he is, Lion-0O!

Ah, Lynx-0O,
so good of you to drop in.

I welcome you
with the touch of Amortus.

[GRUNTING]

AMORTUS:
Listen to me, Thundercat.

My touch has already begun
to work on you.

It has made you an outcast.

You can never return
to the Thundercats.

If you try, you will destroy them.

You can never go home.

Never go home.

Never go--

LYNX-O:
What happened? A dream?

A terrible dream?

LION-O:
Lynx-O, are you all right?

You must leave me, Lion-0.

Why? What's wrong?

I don't know.
A dream, maybe a bad feeling.

Come on, old friend, let's go home.

Leave me. Please, Lion-0.

If I come back with you,
you will all be in mortal danger.

Leave now, go away!

Lynx-O is in shock.
He won't let me move him.

He thinks he'll harm us in some way.

Let me try, Lion-O.

CHEETARA:
Can you sense my thoughts, Lynx-0?

[GRUNTING]

We're taking you home.
You'll be fine once you get some rest.

-Good work, Cheetara.
-Yeah!

Easy does it. Just a little more.

Perfect.

CHEETARA:
How did the repairs go?

PANTHRO:
All done. She's shipshape.

How's Lynx-0?

He has a small wound on his face...

...but I think he'll be all right
once he's had a catnap.

Do you think there was any truth
in the story he was telling us?

You mean that he'll hurt us somehow?

Of course not.

Reow. Oh, I'm still worried.
Lynx-O shouldn't be alone.

Ah, I'm off to keep
a night watch on him.

[SNORING]

AMORTUS:
Lynx-0O, it's your friend Amortus.

I've come to warn you...

...that if you don't leave
Cats' Lair tonight...

...the Thundercats will be destroyed.

You don't want that now, do you?

[MOANING]

Of course, I don't.

Who are you? Are you there?

Ha....
These feelings are so strong, so real.

I cannot risk the others' safety.
I must leave now.

[SNORING]

Huh?

I should have never returned.

What is he up to? I better tell Lion-O.

Lion-O, wake up!
It's Lynx-O, he's gone!

I followed him down to the hangar...

...and the last I saw was him
climbing into the Thunderstrike.

We must go after him.

Any sign of Lynx-O?

[GRUNTING]

Cheetara, what is it?

My sixth sense.

I saw an image of Lynx-O,
lost in a strange place.

We have to save him.

We will. Booster rockets to max.

Come to me, Lynx-O.

And your loyal friends will follow...

...into the Land of No Return.

Mumm-Ra will free me...

...and the Thundercats
will be lost forever.

[LAUGHING]

What in the name
of all the ancients is that?

LION-O:
It looks like some kind of barrier.

Whatever it is,
Lynx-O's already passed through it.

We have to follow him.

Going to full burn. Now.

Hmm, I don't like this, Ma-Mutt.

What is Amortus up to?

I told him to put Lynx-O
out of commission...

...and now he takes
on all the Thundercats.

We shall have to watch
the situation carefully.

The Feliner can't take
much more of this, Cheetara.

LYNX-O:
Where am I?

None of this is familiar,
yet something draws me here.

Thank Jaga we're finished at last.

-Look!
-Ah!

PANTHRO:
Lynx-O. In the Thunderstrike.

Full power. We're going in after him.

AMORTUS:
This is the Land of No Return.

This is where you will end your days.



AMORTUS: You were marked
with the touch of Amortus.

Notice how it creeps upon you.

[AMORTUS LAUGHING]

The entrance is closing.
This is going to be close.

We have to make it.

[CRASHING]

We did it.

What's happening to me?
My skin feels like stone.

AMORTUS: That, my friend,
is the touch of Amortus.

Slowly, you will turn to stone...

...just like others who have visited...

...the Land of No Return.

What?

[LAUGHING]

Your friends arrive,
too late to help you.

Too late to help themselves.

[LAUGHING]

Lynx-O.

LION-O: What happened?
-What did this to you?

You-- You must leave. Amortus:

Welcome...

...to the Land of No Return,
Thundercats.

Amortus.
You must escape, Thundercats.

h*!

[GASPS]

[LAUGHING]

Your puny weapons
can do nothing to me, Thundercats.

Why, you are not the first...

...to visit the Land of No Return!

LION-O:
Thunderian Cats?

[LYNX-O SCREAMING]

-Lynx-O!
LYNX-O: Help me!

He--!1 Help!

You'll pay for this, Amortus.

[LAUGHING]

And how will you make me pay?

Perhaps you would like your weapons
returned, Thundercats?

What?

He hasn't turned completely to stone.

If there were some way to reverse it.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ah!

[GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

[EXPLODES]

Aargh!

[BOTH SCREAMS]

[THUNDER CRASHING
AND STONES RUMBLING]

[LAUGHING]

Well, that was easier than I thought.

This will be the finishing touch.

No!

AMORTUS:
You are marked, Thundercat.

Your turn, my strange blue friend.

Get your slimy hand
away from me, Amortus, or--

Or what? So long, Thundercat.

No! No!

[GRUNTING]

Where am 1?

Oh, no, you don't, Thundercat.

You and your friends
will be stony prisoners...

...in the Land of No Return.

[GROANING AND GRUNTING]

There is no point in resistance.

AMORTUS:
You cannot win.

Ah!

I will have proved that I...

...Amortus, ruler
of the Land of No Return...

...am the most powerful evil force...

...in the entire universe!

Give in, Thundercat,
there is nothing you can do.

Ah! Never!

LION-O:
Wait! The Cat statues!

Perhaps....

Sword of Omens, come to my hand.

What?

Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

No!

Ah!

[GROWLING]

No! This cannot happen!

There is no way
you can harm them, Amortus.

They are already made of stone.

Get away from me! Leave me alone!

[SCREAMING]

[RUMBLING]

LION-O:
Why, this is New Thundera.

What happened
to the Land of No Return?

It has met its fate.

Lynx-O, are you all right, old friend?

Yes, Lion-O. Thank you.

Thank you all.

I have a feeling the thanks lies
with our Thunderian friends.

Their battle with Amortus
has finally ended.

[SIGNALS BUZZING]

AMORTUS:
Help me, Mumm-Ra! Help me!

Did you destroy Lynx-O?

-No.
-Ha!

I sent you a simple task...

...to take care
of the blind Thundercat, but, no...

...you had to bite off
more than you could chew.

I was trying to please you, evil one.

No, Amortus.

You wanted to be the most powerful
evil force in our world.

You failed.
Now, you must pay the price.

[AMORTUS SCREAMING]

You will be banished
to the netherworld...

...for all eternity!

SNARF:
Reow. Where have you been?

[LAUGHING]
I'm sorry, Snarf.

Let's just say
that we're the only people...

...ever to have returned
from the Land of No Return.

Which means, I guess, that no one
can ever call it that again.

So my little excursion
didn't end up all bad.

We destroyed one more evil place
in this universe of ours.

Thundercats!

[IN UNISON]
h*!
