[ROARS]

Thundercats!

SNARF: Here it comes again!

Snarf!

Isn't Lynx-O a little
old for joyriding?

This is no game.

Something is terribly wrong.

Lynx-O's lost his head.

I was bringing him to you,
piloting from the left pod.

But his central controls
can cut out the pods.

He took over, and...

Lion-O, he'll destroy himself.

We've got to get him down.

Panthro,

fire up the Thunderclaw.

Try to maneuver
outside Lynx-O's roll.

Can do.

Good work.

Here goes.

Lynx-O.

Lynx-O!

No.

No.

Evil beyond evil.

There's no defense against
the power of the Gorgon.

[SCREAMS]

Listen to me, Lynx-O.

I am Lion-O.

You will allow me to board
the Thunderstrike. Now!

[GROANING]

How is he, Lion-O?

He's sleeping, at last.

Pumyra, Bengali,

what brought on
this terrible attack?

It was last night.

He was at the Braille board
in the Tower of Omens...

when his hand received
information so terrible that...

Ahh...

No! No!

The pages turn and their
words bring madness.

The Hills of Elfshima.

The Mask of Gorgon
and the Childe.

Sight beyond sight
brings evil beyond evil.

Oh!

What has the Eye of
Thundera's sight beyond sight

got to do with this?

Lynx-O couldn't tell us.

He kept babbling about
masks and books and a child.

And what are the
Hills of Elfshima?

The forgotten range of hills
beyond Mumm-Ra's pyramid.

Lynx-O is a grand, old warrior,

who has fought
every form of evil.

What could his hands have seen

to affect him so terribly?

There's no way of knowing.

There is a way!

Sword of Omens, give
me sight beyond sight.

LION-O: I see nothing
but an ancient book.

Yet there's an uneasy
feeling that... That...

Sword of Omens, show me more!

[VOICES WAILING]

The sword lost the vision.

Whatever that volume is,
its powers are unfathomable.

[ROARS]

The Book of Norvog Noszh.

The only history of Third Earth.

When there was no light, no joy,

and all was evil.

All the terrible secrets...

lost for an eon, then...

dug up, quite by accident.

By a mummy's best friend.

[CACKLES]

While digging...

[CACKLES]

for a bone!

[CACKLES]

Enough.

And now,

to bring forth the Childe...

we must first get...

the Mask of Gorgon!

TugMug, Chilla!

Why this urgency, Mumm-Ra?

I have summoned you

for a very special mission.

Do you know the Treetop Kingdom

of the Warrior Maidens?

That pack of
muscle-bound brünnhildes?

The Maidens are
charged with the guarding

of a certain mask.

The Mask of Gorgon!

It is embedded in the
trunk of Schem-lok,

the oldest and mightiest tree

in the kingdom.

Destroy the tree!

MUMM-RA: Free
the Mask of Gorgon!

And bring it to me!

Now!

[♪♪♪]

The Tree Kingdom.

We've reached it.

CHILLA: That monster
must be Schem-lok.

Brace for a landing.

Who are they, Willa?

I don't know, Nayda.

I can't recognize them.

Hold!

Don't come one step closer.

I don't know why I even
waste my breath on you.

Got to get help.

Thundercats, h*!

Winter had better
come early this year,

Chilla.

All right.

TUGMUG: Hey, ha-ha-ha.

Not bad.

Look.

There's the Mask of Gorgon.

CHILLA: Bring it down
with your gravity carbine,

TugMug.

You got it!

Hey, this baby is solid silver.

Strange.

Why are the eyes closed?

They're opening!

Hey! What happened?

What's wrong with you?

Stone.

The mask turned her to stone.

Well, you won't get me, creep.

If Mumm-Ra wants that mask,

he can come and
fetch it himself.

Nooo!

[CACKLES]

The Mask of Gorgon

turned TugMug to stone.

Poor little Lunataks,

but I had to see if the mask

really did turn flesh to stone.

Better than risking

either of us, eh,

Ma-Mutt?

Freed now from the
bark of Schem-lok,

I have only to find

the proper incantation

to call it here.

Have no fear.

The Mask of Gorgon
cannot harm its master.

Ha!

Here is the incantation.

"Mask of Gorgon,

"silver white,

"I now claim thy evil might.

"Come to me through
mystery's mesh.

"Flesh to stone, then...

stone to flesh!"

[CACKLES]

You are mine now.

Mine to command

for all eternity.

[LAUGHS]

And my first command

will be to turn the
Thundercats to stone!

[CACKLES]

You say the
Lunataks froze Nayda,

then stole a mask?

The Mask of Gorgon.

Forest creatures
have always tended it.

But why was it embedded
in the bark of that tree?

So that it always
faced westward,

away from the Hills of Elfshima.

Blast.

Those Elfshima Hills again.

Why?

The answer lies buried
in the Norvog Noszh.

Norvog Noszh?

It's not lost anymore,

for I have seen it.

We both have seen it.

Lynx-O!

And what my hands perceived

drove me mad.

But time is short.

We must find that mask before

the Hills of Elfshima...

Easy, old friend.

Here, sit.

What do those blasted
hills have to do with all this?

The Childe.

The Childe.

Don't you understand?

Find that mask!

The only way to find an answer
is to use the Eye of Thundera.

Sword of Omens, give
me sight beyond sight.

Show me Elfshima!

LION-O: The Hills of
Elfshima haven't changed.

Miles and miles of
ugly rock formations.

In the name of
Thundera, find the mask.

Yes. Show me the mask.

[CHUCKLING]

Ah-ha!

Lion-O...

cast the Eye of Thundera

upon the Mask of Gorgon.

This is the real power!

You haven't the courage

to recapture the Mask of Gorgon.

You would call me coward?

Let's go, Panthro. We'll
show Mumm-Ra who...

Don't be impetuous.

The power of the
mask when combined

with the Eye of
Thundera, terrible.

Wait till I can guide you.

The Childe must not live again.

We can't wait.

We have to do
something. And do it now.

BOTH: h*!

[♪♪♪]

Quietly now.

Look for an entryway.

Hold it! Up ahead.

It's...

WILLA: It's Nayda...

But how?

I knew you'd be coming.

I got here first.

I found an entrance.

This way.

Sister.

You escaped Chilla's icy grasp?

Yes, Nayda.

What?

I mean, Willa.

Come quickly, all of you.

There's something
wrong here, Panthro.

You worry as much as Lynx-O.

PANTHRO: Come on!

The mask is gone!

Mumm-Ra must have hidden it.

We've no time to waste.

Use the eye again, Lion-O.

Sword of Omens.

Give me sight beyond sight.

I'll give you a sight.

What the...?!

[LAUGHS]

So, Lion-O,

your foolish pride
has delivered you

into my hands along

with the Sword of Omens.

It is written that when
the Mask of Gorgon

has sight beyond sight,

then it not only turns flesh

to stone...

but stone to flesh!

Observe!

Open!

The Hills of Elfshima!

When they are silhouetted
against the dawn,

see how they might
resemble a sleeping form.

It is happening.

We must stop it.

Ready the Thunderstrike.

Get me behind my Braille board.

No. You can't.

I must.

Or it means the
end of Third Earth!

LYNX-O: Faster. Faster.

It's almost daybreak.

But why the Hills of Elfshima?

Look at your monitor screen.

LYNX-O: There is
the word " Elfshima."

Norvog Noszh revealed
to me that it is an anagram,

a puzzle.

I rearrange the letters, and...

I am flesh.

Not a range of hills,

but a sleeping giant.

A giant turned to stone
thousands of years ago.

A gigantic evil sl*ve.

LYNX-O: And whoever
masters this creature,

masters Third Earth.

We will destroy the Gorgon.

I have a way.

Now, Mask of Gorgon,

I give you sight beyond sight,

evil beyond

evil!

MUMM-RA: Behold!

The Childe of Gorgon!

[LIGHTNING CRASHING]

Lynx-O,

we'll crash into the
blasted thing's head!

I'm aiming for the ear.

LYNX-O: I'm not mad, Bengali.

We are in the
giant's ear structure.

This is the auditory canal.

Ahead is the inner ear.

When we reach it,
I shall give it a blast

from the laser cannon.

The slightest disturbance
in the inner ear

affects the balance.

All right, blast!

[SCREAMS]

LYNX-O: Now to get the blazes

out of here.

[SCREAMING]

MUMM-RA: No. No!

This is not in the book.

What is happening?

MUMM-RA: Earthquake!

No.

If the mask breaks,

the magic is gone.

Nooo!

MUMM-RA: The mask's power, gone!

But I will win some day.

When I find that book again,

the Gorgon's Childe

will be my sl*ve

and the Thundercats...

will be statues!

[CACKLES]

[BOTH GASPING]

Let's get out

of this miserable place.

Ah, that's better.

But where is the
Eye of Thundera?

There!

Let's hope those
terrible secrets

are lost forever.

Thundercats, h*!

BENGALI: Look below!

Every place the Childe stepped,

has been restored.

When the mask broke,
all it's evil was obliterated.

[SNEEZES]

Wait till I meet
that Chilla again.

Some of Snarf's
soup will cure that cold.

Lynx-O.

You were right.

I should have waited for you.

But Mumm-Ra made
me so thundering angry...

You needn't apologize.

Just remember, actions
taken in a fit of anger

are seldom successful.

And I guess there's
nothing heroic

about losing your temper.

Yeah.

Hotheads get turned to stone

and miss all the fun.

You call being a
living earache fun?
