[♪♪♪]

VULTUREMAN: Today
will be the turning point

in the history of Third Earth.

[GIGGLES]

And this, the
Thundranium Projector,

will prove for once and for all

that I, Vultureman,

am the true mutant leader.

I will drive the Thundercats
from their homes

and Mumm-Ra will be so grateful

that he will reward
me for all eternity.

[GIGGLES]

But first,

a trial run.

[VULTUREMAN CACKLES]

It's perfect.

A ray of pure Thundranium,

the one substance which
reduces the Thundercats

to puny kittens.

And a precision aiming device

so that I can hit
a single target

or saturate an entire area.

Hee-hee-hee. Who
needs a team of mutants

when Vultureman

swings into action?

[CACKLES]

[♪♪♪]

WILYKAT: Oh,
give it up, Wilykit.

You can't beat me
in a spaceboard race.

[LAUGHS]

That's what you think, Wilykat.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, what's that?

I don't know.

But we'll soon see.

No!

Don't do it, Wilykit.

Whoa.

Oh!

Wilykat, help!

Hang on, Kit, I'm coming.

Whoa!

Huh?

Whoa!

Kit.

A-are you okay?

Yeah.

Oh, I think so.

What is that stuff?

WILYKIT: I don't know.

But I feel so weak.

Wilykat,

do you think it might
be Thundranium?

I think we'd better find out.

SLITHE: Our weapons
are a mess, yes?

I thought you ordered Vultureman

to fix them, Slithe.

[GROWLS]

I certainly did.

Find him at once and tell him

they'd better be in
perfect order by tomorrow,

or I'll wring his scrawny neck.

Yes?

Vultureman.

I should have known
he was behind this.

He obviously doesn't
know we're here.

He's got some kind of
Thundranium device there.

That's dangerous.

We should find
out what he's up to

before he gets a chance

to use it against
all the Thundercats.

You're right.

If we both ride my board

and keep low through the woods,

we'll surprise him.

[BEEPING]

I'd better check

the Thundranium level.

[SQUAWKS]

It's almost gone.

My projector obviously uses

more Thundranium
than I bargained for.

[GROANS]

And the only source
is on Dark Side.

I'll have to go to those
wretched Lunataks

for a new supply.

[VULTUREMAN SQUAWKS]

WILYKAT: We'll teach you to
mess with Thundercats, Vultureman.

[SCREAMS]

WILYKIT: Oh!

Oh! Oh!

[SNEEZES]

[VULTUREMAN SOBS]

You've broken my masterpiece.

I'll get even with you
for this, Thunderkittens.

No one messes with Vultureman!

[HUMMING]

If it wasn't for old Snarf,

Lion-O wouldn't be able to see

the Eye of Thundera
through the dust in here.

[COUGHS]

Snarf, snarf.

Lion-O!

There's trouble, come quick!

Quick, Snarf, give me the sword.

Sword of Omens, give
me sight beyond sight.

LION-O: The
Thunderkittens are in danger.

They're headed right
into the Field of Daggers.

They look exhausted.

They won't be able to
hang on much longer.

There's no time to lose.

We have to get after
them. Come on, Snarf.

[GROANING]

I... I-I feel so weak, Wilykit.

Wilykat, you've got to hold on.

Oh, no.

Hang on.

Whoa!

[THUNDERKITTENS YELLING]

Get a move on, Vultureman.

You're taking all day.

[SQUAWKS]

I'm working as fast as I can.

What's the hurry, anyway?

We're low on munchies.

I'm going to steal some snacks

from those pathetic Wollos.

Then tomorrow,

we'll take their
entire harvest, yes?

Well, there you are, Slithe.

A-Okay for takeoff.

[GROWLS]

Try to bring it back

in one piece this time, huh?

Don't you worry
about me, buzzard.

Just check out the
SkyCutters, yes?

We'll need them tomorrow.

[COUGHS]

If Slithe's going to bounce

some Wollos around,

you can bet that Lion-O

will ride in to the rescue.

[LAUGHS]

And I will be waiting for him

with the Thundranium Projector.

I'll take care of Slithe

and Lion-O together.

[CHUCKLES]

Two birds with one stone.

I hate that expression.

Plun-Darr to Sky-Tomb, come in.

What do you want, mutant?

The Thundranium Projector
worked exactly as planned.

[CHUCKLES]

Tomorrow there will
be a perfect opportunity

to defeat Lion-O with it.

But I need more Thundranium.

Very well.

I will meet you one
hour before sunrise.

Do not be late.

[CAWS]

SNARF: Rrreow. I don't
see any sign of the kittens.

Are you sure we're
on the right trail?

Snarf, snarf.

According to our
tracking systems we are,

but I'll check again.

The trail stops just
a little way ahead.

Keep looking.

WILYKIT: Oh... Where am...?

How...?

Wilykat, wake up.

Tell me you're all right.

[GROANS]

Oh, ah!

My leg.

I don't think I can walk.

I'm just glad we're alive.

That was some fall.

How are we ever
gonna get out of here?

No one will ever find us.

Don't give up, we'll
think of something.

Let's see if you can walk.

Come on. Yeah. Ah, ow.

I'll be okay.

Great.

There's a bridge.

Let's see if we
can get up on it.

[HISSING]

[♪♪♪]

SNARF: Rrreow. Look, Lion-O,

there's one of the
kittens' spaceboards.

LION-O: By Jaga, you're right.

But there's no
sign of the kittens.

They must have
fallen off along the way.

They could be hurt.

We've got to go back
and find them, fast.

[GROWLING]

[BOTH SCREAM]

[SCREAMING]

Come on, Kit, over here!

What? Hey.

[GASPS]

WILYKIT: Oh, no. It's
coming back after us.

What are you doing?

You don't have a pellet
powerful enough to stop it.

I can't run,

but I'm not going
down without a fight.

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTS]

[FLUTE PLAYING]

Who's playing that music?

WILYKAT: It's a Wollo.

He's telling us
to move that way.

Let's go.

[CAWS]

Just like Chilla to
threaten me not to be late,

then keep me waiting.

[ENGINE WHIRRING]

A primitive design.

But it should be
effective enough.

[CAWS]

How dare you insult

my precious
Thundranium Projector.

This is the weapon which
will deliver Third Earth

into the hands of
the forces of evil.

Now, where's my Thundranium?

Mind your beak, insolent turkey.

[SQUAWKS]

You risk a cold sleep...

[SCREAMS]

or being steamed like an oyster.

[HISSES]

Now fetch the Thundranium

from the IceRunner,

and be quick about it.

[SQUAWKS]

[GRUMBLING]

One day I'll get even
with you as well, Chilla.

But first things first.

Rrrreow.

Oh, where are they, Lion-O?

Uh-oh.

I sure hope they
didn't fall down there.

We'll check it out
anyway, Snarf.

You look down there,
Snarf. And be careful.

I sense something
evil about this place.

If you feel that way,

maybe I should go
along to protect you.

Snarf, snarf.

Snarf! I found a pellet.

The kittens were here.

I wonder what happened to them.

[ROARS]

[YELPS]

Help, Lion-O, help!

[YOWLING]

What?

I'm coming, Snarf.

h*!

Way to go, Lion-O.
We'll show him.

h*!

h*!

[ROARS]

[SCREAMS]

That snake got what was
coming to him, by Jaga,

after what he did to
the Thunderkittens,

snarf, snarf.

[SNIFFLES]

Don't be sad, Snarf.

I found their footprints
leading out of here

before the snake attacked you.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

We'd better catch
up to them soon.

I don't like the
looks of this storm.

OLD WOLLO: Oh,
what a strange storm.

It only lasted a
couple of minutes.

A-and it covered
such a small area,

centered right on
the Wollo village.

OLD WOLLO: I don't
like the looks of this at all.

Oh!

No natural storm would do that.

This looks like the
work of mutants.

Oh, I'd like to get
my hands on them.

SLITHE: We will be happy

to arrange that, yes.

Seize them.

[MUTANTS LAUGHING]

[YELPS]

I would prefer a
more permanent way

to deal with these
meddlesome imps.

Your preference is
of no concern, mutant.

I need live bait for my trap.

Make sure you are
ready, Vultureman.

Oh, yes,

I'm ready, Chilla.

I've been waiting
a long time for this.

Stop! It's a trap!
No. No, Lion-O!

Go back! Stop! Lion-O, stop!

The Thunderkittens are tied up.

Hang on Snarf.

We're going in for them.

SNARF: Rrreow! Oooh-oooh! Rreow!

Ah,

now I've got you, Lion-O.

[GRUNTING]

[YOWLING]

[GRUNTING]

[LAUGHING]

Thunder, thunder, thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

[ROARS]

The Thundercat Signal.

Lion-O needs help.

Now look what you've done.

Get him before the
Thundranium wears off.

He's still weak.

CHILLA: Lower your
sword, Thundercat.

Or I'll frost your
precious Thunderkittens.

If I give in, you'll
do it anyway.

h*!

[HISSING] [YOWLING]

Get out of my way,

you pathetic furry toy.

A quick blast of
undiluted Thundranium

and it's bye-bye,

lord of the Thundercats.

[♪♪♪]

[SQUAWKS]

[BENGALI GROWLS]

Time you took a
hammering, Vultureman.

Home run, mutants.

Stand and fight, you coward!

I'll get even with
you yet, Thundercats.

[SQUAWKS]

LION-O: You got
caught in the crossfire

between the Thundercats
and the mutants.

I'm sorry.

You have nothing

to apologize for, Lion-O.

The Thundercats have
come to our help many times.

We are always happy to see you,

even under circumstances

like these.

I can't believe that
Chilla and Vultureman

would ruin an entire harvest

just to try to get us.

There must be
something we can do

for these Wollos, Lion-O.

Perhaps Panthro could
come up with something.

Well, he could try,

but it doesn't seem likely.

JAGA: This is not a task
for technology, Lion-O.

Jaga.

This is a task for
ancient powers.

Ancient, magical powers, Lion-O.

Magical powers?

The Sword.

The Sword of Omens.

h*!

[ECHOING] h*! h*! h*! h*! h*!

WILYKAT: The ice has melted.

BENGALI: The
Wollos' crops are saved.

LION-O: Thanks to Jaga.

Please pass him my
people's humble thanks.

I'll pass on your
thanks, old friend.

You can be sure of that.
