02x06 - Mumm-Ra Lives! Part I

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: When
Mumm-Ra the ever-living

was consumed by the
eruption of Fire Rock Mountain,

Third Earth looked
forward to an age of peace.

[GASPS] Mumm-Ra.

But Mumm-Ra did not perish.

He survived to plot the
release of the most fearsome

of all the Thundercats'
opponents to date:

the Lunataks of Plun-Darr.

Stay with us all week

as the Thundercats fight
for their very existence

in this special
five-part adventure.

Thundercats!

Thunder, thunder,

thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

LION-O: Here's to Third Earth

and to peace at last.

Peace, huh.

That's gonna take
some getting used to.

I'm not sure I believe
things will be that easy.

Snarf.

I don't know how
I'm gonna handle

being an unemployed warrior.

Keeping the peace
can be as difficult

as winning it.

Mmm. I suppose
there's always fire drill

and routine maintenance.

And mutants, Cheetara.

We can count on
them to make trouble.

We could teach our
Thundercat technology

to all our friends.

And turn this whole planet

into a model of
peace and prosperity.

All right.

That's the way to look at it.

We'll throw a great feast

and invite all our
friends to meet

Pumyra, Bengali and
Lynx-O, the new Thundercats.

How about that?

Sounds good to me.

Mm. I'll work up a menu

and go over to
the Berbil Village

for provisions.

Sounds like we'll
have our hands full,

even with Mumm-Ra gone.

[CHEETARA GASPS]

CHEETARA: Mumm-Ra.

Cheetara.

Mumm-Ra.

Are you okay?

What is it, Cheetara?

I'm not sure.

I guess I just can't believe

that Mumm-Ra's
finished once and for all.

I know just how Cheetara feels.

Mumm-Ra really gone?

I can hardly believe it myself.

Can you be sure he
has gone, Lion-O?

Jaga.

What do you mean?

How could Mumm-Ra
have possibly survived?

The Star of Thundera tore
Fire Rock Mountain apart

and destroyed
Mumm-Ra along with it.

There's no way he
could have survived.

The forces of evil can never
be entirely destroyed, Lion-O,

only held in check

by those with
strength and courage.

With an evil power as
great as Mumm-Ra's,

who can say that
he is gone forever?

Jaga.

Wait.

It's just not possible.

Mumm-Ra could not have survived.

[VOLCANIC RUMBLING]

[MOANING]

[GROANING]

Ma-Mutt.

My faithful Ma-Mutt.

I am weak.

Take me to my pyramid.

[ROARING]

I have survived, Ma-Mutt,

because I am
Mumm-Ra the ever-living.

But I am weak and powerless.

So while I regain my strength,

you must take my place.

[GROWLS]

You must become...

Mumm-Ra.

[ROARS]

Mm. A bit transparent,
but you will have to do.

[CHUCKLES]

Certainly, you should
fool the mutants.

Listen carefully to my
instructions, Ma-Mutt.

SNARF: And I'll take 12 bushels

of those mushrooms

with the fat, juicy stems.

Mushrooms.

Mm. What are those?

No.

Mm.

[YELPS]

PowPow Peppers.

They're very hot.

[WHIMPERING]

What is that?

[RO-BEAR-BILL
AND SNARF] Ma-Mutt.

RO-BEAR-BILL: He's
in an awful hurry, Snarf.

And I'll bet that he's
headed for Castle Plun-Darr.

Sit tight, Ro-Bear-Bill.
I'll be back.

[LAUGHING]

[GASPING]

Mumm-Ra!

Bu-bu-but...

It's impossible.

You're alive!

[ROARS]

Fools.

Did you think
Mumm-Ra the ever-living

could perish?

[MUTTERING]

About two degrees to
the right should do it.

Whoa!

Snarf.

MA-MUTT [AS MUMM-RA]: Not even
the Thundercats will be able to resist

the Lunataks of Plun-Darr.

Mumm-Ra?

Lunataks?

h*! They're here?

Haaa! Alive?

[CACKLES]

They're here...

but hardly alive.

[CACKLES]

You see, long before
you mutants arrived here,

the Lunataks tried
to overthrow me.

[CACKLES]

A fatal error of judgement.

You destroyed the Lunataks?

To destroy them would have been

too easy a punishment.

No, mutants.

I encased them

in molten lava.

You will now release them.

[SCREAMS]

No, Mumm-Ra.

We will do anything you command,

but we cannot release

the Lunataks of Plun-Darr.

MONKIAN: Hoo-hoo! Let them
stay encased in molten lava forever.

JACKALMAN: They're too
vicious even for my liking.

[CHUCKLES]

Exactly, Jackalman.

Vicious enough to take care
of the Thundercats forever.

Yes, but the Lunataks cannot
be controlled, Mumm-Ra.

Nonsense, Slithe.

I have already defeated
and entombed them once,

and I will do it again

after they have
crushed the Thundercats.

But... But where are the
Lunataks now, Mumm-Ra?

On Dark Side.

[GASPS]

The forbidden territories?

[ALL GASP]

Even if we find them, Mumm-Ra,

how do we free them?

That, Vultureman, is up to you.

You are the
technician, after all.

Snarf.

SNARF: Ma-Mutt.

But I heard Mumm-Ra in there.

SLITHE: Well,

Mumm-Ra is right
about one thing, yes.

If anyone can wipe
out the Thundercats,

it's those crazy Lunataks.

[CREAKING]

Naaa! What was that?

Uh-oh. I'm out of here.

Snarf!

MONKIAN: Over there.

JACKALMAN: It's
that wretched Snarf.

He must have overheard us.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Get him!

Before he warns
the Thundercats, yes.

[GIBBERING]

You mean,

Snarf just took
off after Ma-Mutt?

I couldn't stop him, Lion-O.

When was this?

The danger signal.

Sword of Omens,

give me sight beyond sight.

Thunder, thunder,

thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

Look.

Lion-O's in trouble.

Get the others.

I'll fire up the ThunderTank.

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

Blast.

There's too much cover.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Shh. Snarf, it's me.

Lion-O.

Thank Jaga.

Snarf.

Get me out of here.

Kiss Third Earth
goodbye, Thundercats.

[CACKLES]

Through there, Snarf. Fast.

What?

Oh, no.

Stand by, Cheetara.

We're about to
elevate the rear cannon.

CHEETARA: Ready
when you are, Panthro.

Hit it.

PANTHRO: Here they come.

PANTHRO: And that's not all.

Come on, Wilykat,

let's go get that
flying machine.

Make mine Monkian.

I'll take Slithe.

Whoa!

[SCREAMS]

SLITHE: Help.

Get me out of here, yes.

Two can play that
game, Thunderkittens.

Whoa!

I'll save you, Wilykat.

Whoa!

Gee, thanks, Kit.

What?

This is getting out of hand.

We're outnumbered and outgunned.

Back, mutants.

Regroup at Castle Plun-Darr.

Nice sh**ting, Pumyra.

Come on, Snarf.

Let's get back to Cats' Lair,

and you can tell us
what you found out.

I can't believe
Mumm-Ra survived.

It sounds like we better
prepare for some action.

I don't care about
Mumm-Ra, Lion-O.

At least we know him.

But what about
these, snarf, Lunataks?

What in the name of
Thundera are they?

LYNX-O: I have heard of
some such fearsome raiders

from the Moons of Plun-Darr.

But they were before my time.

How can we find out about them?

Hm. I could find out

if I could touch the
places they have been

and interpret the information
thus gained on a braille board.

A braille board?

What is that?

We have the technology.

We could build one.

If a braille board
is what it takes

to find about the Lunataks,

then that's what we'll build.

Panthro and Tygra.

You work on that with Lynx-O.

The rest of us will check

every known
corner of Third Earth.

See what we can find out.

And if we come up blank,

at least our new Thundercats
will know the territory.

ALL: Thundercats, h*!

[♪♪♪]

PUMYRA: Down there.

Look, Bengali.

The mutants.

We'll land behind that cliff.

Find out what they're up to.

If that's Dark Side,

I don't like the look of it.

It... It's scary

More scary than Mumm-Ra, coward?

All right, all right.

Let's go.

Mumm-Ra told us to look for
three sharp mountain peaks.

I think we're
on the right trail.

Look.

Let's get it over with.

Come on, Bengali.
We'll follow them.

No, Pumyra.

We cannot pass
Fire Rock Mountain.

The Thundranium
fumes would wipe us out.

We must get back to the Lair

and tell the others what
we have discovered.

PUMYRA: What is
Dark Side, Lion-O?

Forbidden territories,
by local legend.

Full of weird creatures
and monsters and...

Snarf, snarf.

Stuff like that.

It's guarded by the
Thundranium pits

and Fire Rock Mountain.

No Thundercat has ever
crossed into Dark Side.

But I've got a nasty feeling

we'll soon be
breaking that rule.

[WHIMPERS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

JACKALMAN: Are you sure
we're going the right way?

How should I know?

I've never been on
Dark Side before.

How many peaks did Mumm-Ra say?

Three.

Look.

[GAGGING]

Let me go.

No, no, look.

Over there!

ALL: The Lunataks!

We may not be able to go
beyond Fire Rock Mountain,

but maybe we can catch
the mutants on their way out.

There must be another
way into Dark Side, Lion-O.

This better work, Vultureman,

or Mumm-Ra will have your beak.

Trust me, Slithe.

I've trusted you
before, featherbrain.

Quit arguing and tell me
what to do, Vultureman.

It's simple.

You fly the SkyCutter

up to the end of our channel.

Then you blast a hole

right down into the
heart of the volcanoes.

The molten lava will
flow into this channel,

surround the Lunataks,

melt the lava around
them and free them.

[LAUGHS]

Pure genius.

But what about me?

You've got the most
important job of all, Jackalman.

[CACKLES]

When the molten
lava fills the channel

surrounding the Lunataks,

you and the Fistpounder

have to cut off the flow of lava

before it traps us.

And if you foul up, Jackalman,

you'll end up as a bathmat
in Mumm-Ra's pyramid.

Oh, wind your neck in, Slithe.

Let's go, mutants.

Go, go, go.

[RUMBLING]

[GIBBERING]

MONKIAN: I did it. I did it.

Stand by, Jackalman.

Standing by.

Hold the lava, Jackalman.

I said seal it off!

What happens now, "pure genius"?

[SQEALING] We...

Vacate! Cover!

[SCREAMING]

I did it.

I did it.

It's too late.

It's going to blow.

Lion-O, do you see that?

LION-O: Some kind
of volcanic expl*si*n.

Sword of Omens, give
me sight beyond sight.

The Lunataks!

The mutants have
freed the Lunataks!

We have to find a
way into Dark Side.

Oh.

Snarf, snarf.

NARRATOR: In the next
episode of Thundercats,

the mutants free the
fearsome Lunataks of Plun-Darr.

Luna. Amok.

Chilla. TugMug.

Red Eye. And Alluro.

Never before have the
Thundercats had to confront

such awesome power
and determination.

So this is the legendary

Sword of Omens.

[CACKLES]

NARRATOR: Will the Lunataks
destroy the Thundercats

and turn Third Earth
over to Mumm-Ra?
