Thundercats!

Lion-O!

Is Lion-O here?

He's not allowed
to use the Sword

during the Anointment Trials.

He knows that, Cheetara,
but for some reason,

the Sword's got itself
all worked up on its own.

We can't blame it
for getting agitated.

Lion-O's final trial
is the toughest of all.

He has to face his
most deadly enemy.

Mumm-Ra!

Why the voices of doom?

He survived Panthro's

Trial of Strength.

He took the shortcut

in Cheetara's Trial of Speed,

even though he knew it
was the most dangerous route

he could follow.

And he won that trial too.

He outdid Wilykit and Wilykat

in their Trial of Cunning.

He certainly tricked us.

There were no tricks involved

when he won Tygra's
Trial of Mind Power.

He came through in better shape

than I did.

I'm still exhausted.

Even so, Mumm-Ra...

Has any lord of the Thundercats

ever faced a power
as evil as Mumm-Ra,

without the Eye of
Thundera to protect him?

Not that I know of.

So, Lion-O has to destroy me...

the ever-living lord of evil.

It will indeed
be his final trial.

By the end of the day,

Lion-O will be

no more!

Mutants!

Mumm-Ra!

What... What do you
want from us this time?

The upstart Lion-O

plans to attack me.

You must intercept
and destroy him.

He will be without the Sword.

Can't it wait till morning?

No! It cannot!

He is already on his way.

What about your
own invincible powers,

your ever-living lordship?

Surely you could
crush him yourself

with one flick of
your mighty hand?

You mock me, miserable mutants?

Do as I command!

Y-y-yes, O Great One.

W-We're going, Mumm-Ra.

We will obey.

Sorry, fella.

Lion-O!

Your nerves are on edge, Lion-O.

You must rest before
you confront Mumm-Ra.

Creatures of darkness are
best fought at night, Jaga.

And have you found a way
to get into the Black Pyramid?

I'll see what I must
do when I get there.

Do you think that's wise?

You've always been my
guide and teacher, Jaga,

and my friend.

But this time, I must
find my own way.

Very well.

Jaga! Wait!

Why?

You have made
your decision, Lion-O.

You don't need my advice.

Jackalman!

Monkian!

I have Lion-O on
the telescanner.

He's in the fourth quadrant.

Unh!

Did we get him?

Yes.

He'll never get out of that.

Must be some kind of language.

This passage must
lead somewhere.

Treasure!

Tomb robber.

Defiler!

Oh!

Thief!

Sacrilege!

It's... It's no use.

I can't stop you.

Steal the treasure.

Take it and go.

I am no thief.

Who are you anyway?

I am Maftet the Lynx God.

Thank you.

You could have been a god.

A Lion God.

Thanks anyway, but...

Of course, you wouldn't
be as strong as you are now.

You would have the
same problem as me.

I haven't been worshipped

for thousands of years.

That's why I'm so weak.

Oh. I see.

Where does that door lead?

Beyond that door

lie the horrible creatures

of the ancient devil priest,

Mumm-Ra.

Then that is the way I must go.

No!

I have no choice.

Boatman!

Who calls?

Take me to Mumm-Ra's
Black Pyramid, boatman.

I cannot,

for you are not
yet of this world.

Take me there, boatman.

I will pay whatever your price.

The price is your destruction!

Hey!

I... I can't move.

Unh.

Let me go!

My strength.

It's... fading.

So, the cub is navigating
the River of Doom.

Lion-O!

Mumm-Ra!

You dare seek me unarmed?

Yes, Mumm-Ra.

I'll fight you face to face.

You have a long
way to go, Lion-O.

And you'll face me in many ways.

Ancient spirits of evil,

transform this decayed form

to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living!

This thing's suffocating me.

I'm choking.

Can't breathe.

Have to get through it.

The ceiling!

It's alive!

Unh!

Incubi, awake!

Come forth from your cocoons!

Whoa!

A little seasick, cub, eh?

The cub is surviving
the test of water,

but let's see how he withstands

a trial by fire!

Oh!

Unh!

Ah, ooh...

I must get out of here.

He has defeated
all my devil forms,

and soon he will penetrate
my home, my fortress,

the Black Pyramid itself.

That is the moment

he will face...

my full fury.

Huh?

Lion-O!

You've come a long way

to meet your doom, Lion-O.

It's not over yet!

The sarcophagus!

Noooo!

The sarcophagus.

That is the secret
of your power.

This is what renews your energy.

Noo!

Without this casket,
you will be powerless.

Noooo!

Yes, Mumm-Ra!

Farewell!

You've faced

your greatest enemy, Lion-O.

Jaga!

And you've defeated him.

You won on your own
without help from anyone.

I'm sorry I did not ask
for your advice, Jaga,

but if I am to be the true
lord of the Thundercats,

I have to make my own decisions.

You are right.

And by making your own
decisions and by making them work,

you've passed the final trial.

Jaga, wait!

Does that mean I'll
never see you again?

No, Lion-O.

I'll always be here

when you need me.

Hail, Lion-O!

Truly the lord of
the Thundercats!

Thundercats, h*!

Thunder,

thunder,

thunder,

Thundercats, h*!
