[both] Oh!

[both] Ooh.

I'm not so sure

about this, Bundun.

We don't belong in

this scary tomb.

We're just simple farmers.

I know, Hurrick.

All we wanted

was total control

of Third Earth,

but those ThunderCats

defeated us.

So we're going to awaken

the evil spirit trapped in here

and it will destroy

the ThunderCats for us.

But, Bundun, what evil

was supposed

to be locked away in here,

exactly?

Who can say?

One of those normal,

everyday evil spirits,

I'm sure.

- How do we get in?

- Hm

[both] Ooh.

[growling]

That's not a normal,

everyday evil spirit.

I am no man's normal!

I am Grune the Destroyer,

and I am here to

to uh

Actually, where am I?

You're on Third Earth,

Mr. Destroyer.

And you're here to destroy

our enemies, the ThunderCats

if you don't mind.

The ThunderCats are here?

[growling]

[both whimpering]

You know, I think we did

a good thing.

Yes, we're good people.

[Panthro humming]

Bologna, you know me,

like nobody do ♪

Bologna, no phoney,

I love you too ♪

Oh, Bologna ♪

Guys, guys! You've gotta see

what Jaga's been teaching me!

[laughs] What kinda weapon

is that?

Double Dutch! Double Dutch!

Double Dutch! Double Dutch!

Uh all right.

It's such a joy

to visit you all.

I like my home on

the astral plane,

but it does get lonely

sometimes.

You cats make me feel alive.

- WilyKit!

- What? He's a ghost.

It sure is a good thing Jaga

is on our side.

It'd be really hard to

fight a ghost.

Huh.

What a specifically ominous

and yet highly unlikely

thing to say.

Wha

- [alarm blaring]

- What's going on?

Aw, sh**t.

[Jaga] So what's all

the commotion?

- [Tygra] I'm not sure

- [both whimpering]

- [Tygra] But from the looks of it

- Ah! My crops!

[Tygra] Some giant jerk

is terrorizing Third Earth!

[chuckles] No biggie.

Our ghost friend Jaga

will know what to do.

Um yes.

Run!

Uh, heh. Not that it alarms me,

but why is Jaga so scared of

this rando?

Also, why does he look like

a Thunderian?

That's our thing!

Hold on, Cheetara.

I think he is Thunderian.

I think that's

Grune The Destroyer!

- [growls]

- Who?

Grune. The Destroyer?

Ugh, hang on.

No one ever pays attention

to my history lessons,

but that's fine,

it's all fine.

- [all] Ooh.

- A laser bagel!

That's right, Lion-O.

The Thunderian Education

Council made a video.

[Lion-O] Ooh!

Now I love learning!

- [music playing]

- [man singing]

Grune, Grune, Grune ♪

Grune the Destroyer ♪

So, any questions?

Yeah. Why don't all your

lessons have a song, Tygra?

That is not what you should be

taking away from that video.

We should be focused on

how Grune is obviously

coming to our lair

to destroy us

and take the Sword of Omens

for himself!

All right. What'd I miss?

Argh!

[music playing]

So, Grune wanted to overthrow

my dad

and now he's coming to get me?

He's gonna be tough to beat,

if even Jaga

is scared

to face him again.

- [whimpers]

- That's not it, Cheetara

I'm not scared to face Grune

as an enemy

I'm ashamed to face him

as my best friend.

[all] What?

[Panthro] Keep it down!

Trying to learn in here!

It's time I tell you

the real story,

not the one that got recorded,

via entertaining song,

onto the laser bagel.

Grune and I were

the King's advisors

but we were also best buds.

We spent all our free time

hanging out, eating 'za,

and having dance

parties. [chuckles]

But Grune could see that

Claudus was a terrible king.

No offense, Lion-O.

None taken! He's also

a terrible dad!

[Jaga] He didn't listen

to anyone, and worst of all,

he didn't care about

his fellow Thunderians

he only thought

about himself.

I kept quiet.

I didn't wanna rock the boat.

But Grune confronted the king,

hoping there was a chance for

Claudus to change.

But instead,

Claudus deemed him a traitor

and declared w*r on him.

But he didn't give up. Grune

wasn't going down without a fight.

- [growls]

- No one could hope to defeat Grune the Great.

Except, that's right me.

It was an epic battle,

but I was finally able

to get the upper hand.

And once I did,

Claudus ordered me

to use my magic

to imprison Grune

and banish him into space

and I I I did.

[snaps fingers]

It's my one regret

betraying my best friend.

Wow. That's a really sad story.

But also, you're responsible for

the destruction of Thundera,

so, maybe you should make room

for a second regret.

Oh, yeah! [laughs]

Okay, I watched the video.

Great song.

And this Grune is the worst.

I hate him!

No, Panthro, catch up!

- [rumbling]

- [all screaming]

ThunderCats! Show yourselves!

He's got a Thundrainium mace!

- What's Thundrainium?

- Oh, I'm glad you asked!

Thundrainium is

the opposite of Thundrillium

It will disable all of

our technology and skills!

Is there a catchy song

about this?

I think I get it.

Tygra is saying with

that mace, Grune is

He's unstoppable!

- [growls]

- [all gasping]

[all screaming]

[all whimpering]

- [all exclaiming]

- He big.

Time to destroy the ThunderCats

and get my revenge!

Jaga, my former-BFF.

How dare you face me

after what you did?

- You came to me!

- And you.

I'd recognize

that dum-dum face anywhere

tell me you aren't

the monster king's son?

Well, our relationship

is actually

a little complicated

right now.

I'm trying to work

through it in therapy, but

So, that buffoon's dynasty

is still intact?

And Jaga, you're still

serving him?

Unacceptable!

I couldn't stop Claudus,

but I'll make sure

you don't live to repeat

his mistakes!

Those sound like fight scene words!

ThunderCats, h*!

Huh?

Oh, right.

[laughs] Ghost rules.

- [announcer] Maced!

- Wait, so do we hate him or not?

It's kind of a shades of grey

thing!

Snarf, Code Hairball!

[announcer] Maced!

Let's see if you can catch me,

Grune.

[panting]

- [grunts]

- [announcer] Maced!

- Let's get him!

- Yeah!

[grunting] That didn't work.

- [both grunting]

- [announcer] Maced!

[laughs] Is that all

you've got?

Grune!

Prepare to be hypnotized!

[meows, purrs]

Enough!

- Uh-oh.

- [announcer] Maced!

You wanted to face

the ThunderCats?

Face this!

I told you Thundrainium

Well, I forgot, okay?

Next time make a song.

Time for you to learn why they

call me Grune the Destroyer!

Oh, no! He's gonna Grune me!

Wait, hear me out, old friend.

Ugh.

Please, don't hurt

the ThunderCats

for the mistakes I made.

I should have just told Claudus

to stuff it.

Best friends don't trap

each other

in a magical tomb

for possibly all eternity

I see that now.

And yet after all that,

nothing has changed.

You're still covering for a fop

doodle of a Lord of the ThunderCats,

who doesn't deserve the title

or the Sword of Omens!

- [screams]

- Wait!

Ha! Do you really think

you can stop me?

I think maybe long-run I could

but it doesn't matter, because

I'm not going to fight you.

I'm going to surrender.

[all gasping]

You're right, Grune.

Claudus definitely

didn't deserve

to be Lord

of the ThunderCats

And maybe I don't either.

What are you saying, Lion-O?

Come on, guys, I don't know

anything about leading

or being a king.

All I know is, I won't let you

get hurt because of me.

So I'll give up being Lord

and give you

the Sword of Omens,

if you agree to leave

my friends alone.

[gasps]

Jaga, is this

the kind of thing

you've been teaching the kid?

Yes. All the ThunderCats

have been showing Lion-O

how to be a better king

than his father was.

Ugh. I let myself get

so blinded by revenge.

I was wrong. You deserve

this more than I do.

You deserve to be king.

I'm sorry for

attacking you all.

I used to be proud to be

a ThunderCat

and now I'm proud to

have such noble successors.

Aw, buddy. You really are

Grune the Great.

Ghost hug!

- [all whimpering]

- What are you gonna do now?

I don't know.

Then maybe we can pick up

where we left off, old friend.

- [upbeat music playing]

- [all cheering]

[Panthro] I love being

a ThunderCat!
