Arrrrrhhhh!

[Roaring] thundercats!

Sword of omens,

Give me sight beyond sight!

Aah...

Haaa! Ha!

I have planned this
moment for many years!

Now at last, jaga,

You are my prisoner,

A prisoner for all eternity!

[Laughing]

Jaga, a prisoner?

Cheetara, panthro, tygra!

Mumm-ra: unusual
activity in the cats lair.

What can those wretched
thundercats be planning?

Lion-o: I have to
help him. But how?

Tygra: the problem
is how to find jaga.

We have to find some way
of communicating with him.

We need someone, something

That understands
the astral world.

There's only one person
like that on third earth.

The netherwitch!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

So, lion-o wants the netherwitch

To help him visit
the astral world.

Ha ha ha ha.

If only he knew that
mumm-ra and the netherwitch

Are one and the same!

Ha ha ha ha.

Ancient spirits of evil,

Transform this decaying
form to mumm-ra, the ever-living!

Aaah... Aaah...

Aah... Ha ha ha!

[Continues laughing]

And now, sorcerers
of the netherworld,

Make mumm-ra...

The netherwitch!

Yaaah!

[Laughing evilly, voice changes]

Ha ha ha ha!

Are you sure you want to
go through with this, lion-o?

You'll be putting
yourself in great danger.

Jaga needs me.

And if the netherwitch
is the only person

Who can help me find him,

I have no choice.

Look out!

[Engine slows to a stop]

Panthro: well, there it
is, the bridge of slime.

Rreow. And that dark hole must
be the pit of the netherwitch.

Snarf, snarf.

We should go with you, lion-o.

No, tygra.

I have to do this alone.

No one can help.

There must be
something we can do.

You can wish me luck.

All: thundercats, h*!

[Thundertank's engine roars]

Well... I guess it's time.

[Water bubbling]

[Shrieks]

Ohh!

I'll soon take care... Aah!

[Shrieking]

[Shrieking]

Slythe: with lion-o
out of the way,

We'll never have a better
chance to smash the thundercats

Once and for all, yes?

Yeah, if he is out
of the way. Ha!

Why should mumm-ra lie?

It's not in his interest.

Ha! Ha!

Whoo whoo!

Whoow!

Watch what you're doing,
you cowardly wretch!

Relax, jackalman.

Those thundercats
don't stand a chance

Against the thundranium cannon.

Well... Here goes.

Unh!

Ahh! Ohh!

[Moans]

Huh?

Ooh! Oh! Uh!

[Laughing]

Yaaah!

Raar!

Aaah!

So, lord of the thundercats,

You want to enter
the astral world

To free your mentor jaga?

How... How did you know that?

[Laughs softly]

I am the netherwitch, lion-o.

I know everything.

Will you help me?

Can you get me into
the astral world?

Of course.

But I warn you

That once you are there,

You will never return.

But...

No!

You will leave
third earth forever!

You must make your choice,

Lion-o.

Whatever I have
to do to free jaga,

I'll do it.

Ancient spirits...

Of the void...

Transport lion-o...

[Mumm-ra voice] to
your astral world!

Mumm-ra!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

You will never return
to the cats lair...

Lion-o.

You are trapped in
the astral world...

Forever! Ha ha ha ha!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

Time to find out if my powers
work in this astral world.

Whoa! Too close!

h*!

[Groans]

h*!

Aaaah!

Is the thundranium
cannon ready, vultureman?

R-r-ready, and loaded
with thundranium shells,

The only material on third earth

That's known to weaken
those blasted thundercats.

Haaaa!

Haaa ha!

Only when you surrender
all your knowledge to me

Will I consider the possibility
of your freedom, jaga.

Never!

Ah ha ha ha!

Brave words, feeble fool.

But i, nemex, have all
eternity to change your mind!

And, jaga, you can be sure
I will change your mind!

Lion-o: not if I have
anything to do with it.

Yaaah!

The eye of thundera, lion-o!

Use its power!

Rrr...

Eeeh!

Yaaah!

h*!

Guards!

Guards!

Man: help!

Help... Me!

Unh!

Who are you?

My name is brodo.

Many centuries ago, I was the most
powerful magician on third earth,

But my wizardry threatened
mumm-ra's evil dominion.

He tricked me,

And... And I have been
here in the astral prison

Ever since.

Come on.

Let's get out of here

Before nemex rallies his forces.

[Brodo swoons]

How can I ever
thank you, young man?

By thundera, lion-o, I never
thought I'd see you again.

Now we'll be
together forever, jaga.

I can never return
to third earth.

No, lion-o.

Your place is there, not
here in the astral world.

I have no choice.

I am with you now and forever.

[Sword hums]

Sword of omens, give
me sight beyond sight!

Whoa!

Whoa!

[Chattering]

Tygra: those are
thundranium shells.

We have to get away from them.

The thundranium level's
at 129 and rising fast!

We've got to nail that cannon.

I'm taking the thundertank.

Ha ha ha ha.

Looks like we've got
them this time. Ha ha ha!

[Monkian hoots]

The cat's paw. Look out!

[Caws]

[Jackalman laughs]

Jackalman: fire!

Fire, vultureman!

Arrr!

Fire before it's too late!

Ha ha ha! Direct hit!

[Continues laughing]

Cats lair is being destroyed.

They need me, jaga,
and I'm stuck here.

I can get you back there.

Will you do it, brodo?

If it will repay
you for saving me.

Ancient spirits of good,

Transport this young lion-o

Back to his own world.

Thundercats, h*!

Lion-o: thunder! Thunder!

Thunder!

Thundercats, h*!

[Roars]

That's my boy!

[Monkian hoots]

Waaah!

Aaah!

Thundercats...

All: h*!

[Laughing]

Yaaah!

Aaar!

h*!

Aah!

[Screams]

All: thundercats, h*!

[Laughing]

I owe my freedom to
your bravery, lion-o.

I don't think I'd
have been so brave

If I had known what I was
getting into in the astral world.

But you did confront
the unknown, lion-o.

That takes real courage.

It's always easier to deal with
dangers you know and understand.

Well, I just couldn't
stand by and watch, jaga.

I had to do something.

I will always be grateful.

It was no more
than you did for us

When you saved the thundercats

And brought us
here from thundera.

Ha ha ha ha. So, now we're even,

Lord of the thundercats.

Jaga, wait!

He's gone.

I tell you, snarf,

The thought of being stuck
there in the astral world

Really made me appreciate
our life here on third earth.

Mutants and all?

Ha ha ha ha! Mutants and all!

Meow! Perhaps from now on,

You'll keep your
feet on the ground.

[Both laugh]
