03x04 - ThunderCubs Part IV

[bunniefuu]

In the last episode of "Thundercubs”...

...Mumm-Ra tricked Lion-0
into using sight beyond sight...

...to discover the hidden
Treasure of Thundera.

Once the secrets
of the Treasure of Thundera are mine...

...you will cease to exist,
Thundercats.

No!

Let's get out of here!

It's not over yet, Thundercats.

I may have lost
the Treasure of Thundera...

...but this is the Book of Omens.

It contains the key
to your Thundercat powers.

And when I have deciphered
this book...

...your days are done!

This expedition to Thundera
has been a disaster.

It's my fault, Lion-O.

Snarfer and I should never have run off
on our own like we did.

That's true, but I can understand
why you did it.

No, the real problem is that
I've made all the wrong decisions.

Maybe I shouldn't be lord
of the Thundercats anymore.

You can't expect everything you do
to be an instant success, Lion-0.

-Jaga!
-The Thundercats need you...

...more than ever.

But I've made so many mistakes.

Stick to it, Lion-0.
Find the Book of Omens.

Salvage what you can
of the Treasure of Thundera.

By Thundera, Snarf, Jaga's right.

Let's get to work. Ha-ha.

At least it's just Mumm-Ra
and us up here, no Lunataks.

Reow! And no mutants!

I'm the commander of this ship, Slithe!

Back off, Vultureman.
I'm taking the Ratstar in, yes?

Waa! We're diving too steeply, Slithe!
Pull up!

I know what I'm doing, Vultureman.

Waa! I'd hate
to be with you when you don't!

What do we do now?

Don't ask me.
You're the mutant commander.

Ma-Mutt!

He wants us to follow him!

This is the Book of Omens.

It is the key
to the Treasure of Thundera.

Once we decipher its secrets,
the Thundercats will be history.

They will come looking for it.

But they will never find it!

Because you will take it from here
and hide it.

Guard it with your lives.

Of course, Ma-Mutt will go with you.

Well, someone must protect
my interests...

...no?

Hey! Look what I found.

-What is it?
Some kind of flute.

Listen!

Snarf, Snarfer, what's the matter?

Reow! Nothing is the matter...

...oh, great Cheetara!

Ha-ha-ha.

Nice try, Snarf,
but we don't have much time for jokes.

They're not joking.

That flute has some kind
of power over them.

Easy enough to find out for sure.

Now, snap out of it.

A magical flute.

Maybe it's part
of the Treasure of Thundera.

One other thing!

The new Thundera
is a strange place, mutants.

There are mountains
of super gravity...

...where no ordinary creature
can stand up...

...caverns so cold
that no one can survive there...

...jungles so dark
you might as well be blind...

...and there are other stranger places.

Without my protection...

...you mutants wouldn't last
three minutes.

Ancient spirits of evil

Protect these servants of badness

Give them
the special powers they need

To avoid the dangers
of the new Thundera!

Now...

...go!

Now, while the Thundercats are chasing
that false Book of Omens...

...I will have time
to decipher the real book.

Then...

...it's goodbye, Thundercats!

Danger!

Sword of Omens,
give me sight beyond sight!

Slithe and Vultureman.

Slithe has the Book of Omens!

Mumm-Ra must have given them
the book for safekeeping.

We have to get it back.

Thundercats.

h*!

Thundercats! How did they get
onto us so quickly?

Do something, Ma-Mutt!
Call Mumm-Ral!

Help us,
or it'll be over before it's started.

They're in that ball of light!

And they're getting away, Lion-O.
Follow them!

They're gonna land!

If Lynx-O's information was right,
we're approaching the Caverns of Cold.

The engines are icing up.
-We're losing power.

Quick, Lion-O! They're getting away!

They've gone.
How we gonna find them now?

On foot, Snarfer.
It seems we don't have a choice.

Sounds like the Feliner's caught
a little chill, yes?

It'll take more than the Caverns of Cold
to stop those blasted Thundercats.

Let's get going, yes?

This is too easy, Thundercats.

Why would anyone
leave such a clear trail?

If I know anything about
mutant psychology, this is a trap.

Even if it is a trap,
what choices do we have?

We know they've got the Book of Omens
and we have to get it back.

Lion-O, look!

Reow! There's
a beautiful canyon below us.

You have to see it!

Yup, it's the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen.

Huh?

They're headed down there, Lion-O.

We can't be far behind.
Let's get moving.

Hey!

No one gets away with that,
Cheetara. Ha-ha.

There's something
very strange happening.

The sword is warning me!

Thundercats!

What?

The Thundercats
have turned into children.

What in the name of Jaga
do I do now?

The Thundercats
have turned into children.

What in the name of Jaga
do I do now?

Who--? Who are you?

It's me, Cheetara, Lion-O.

-I don't know any Lion-O. Do you?
-Not me.

Aw, come on. Let's go play.

The Sword of Omens protected me,
but what good is that?

These Thundercubs
don't even know who I am.

You may have been prepared...

...for the physical dangers
of Thundera, Lion-0...

...but your friends have no defense
against the Canyons of Youth!

They have regressed
to their childhood...

...and there is no way back!

Ancient spirits of evil

Transform this decayed form

To Mumm-Ra the ever-living!

You have to believe me.
You are Thundercats.

How can we be? We're just cubs.

The Thundercats
are the best of Thundera.

There is no Thundera, Cheetara.

The planet was destroyed eons ago
and we were the few who escaped.

We only returned to save the
Treasure of Thundera from Mumm-Ra.

Ha-ha-ha.

We are in great danger...

...and if you don't believe me,
you won't survive another 24 hours!

I didn't mean to shout.
I'm sorry. But I need your help.

We'll try our best.
What do you want us to do?

What does it say, Vultureman?

It's written
in some kind of ancient code.

Save the code-breaking for later,
mutants. We have work to do.

The Canyons of Youth turned
the Thundercats into Thundercubs.

They are defenseless,
completely at our mercy.

Bengali and Wilykit are alone
in the Lair...

...and Lynx-O, Pumyra
and Wilykat are alone at the tower.

Ooh! There's no sign
of the other Thundercats.

You know the plan, Alluro. Get to it!

My pleasure, Luna.

Bengali! Wake up!

What is it, Wilykit?

Whoa!
Aah!

You're all alone, Thundercats.
There is no one who can help you.

Give up now. We won't harm you.

-No! Thundercats never give up!
-But he's right, Bengali.

We don't stand a chance.

No! Don't give in to the fear.
We have to fight back.

Lion-O needs us more than ever.

I must warn Lynx-O.

Unh!

Wilykit!

Ha-ha-ha. It's no use, Bengali.

Your heroics are admirable,
but there's really no point to them.

All you have to do
is give in to the inevitable.

Finish them off, TugMug!

My pleasure, Luna.

My gravity carbine
will weigh you down, Thundercat!

Cats' Lair is ours, Luna.

We haven't finished yet...

...not until we take
the Tower of Omens!

Come on,
let's play the magic flute again.

Cheetara says,
put your hand on your head.

Hand on your head.

What in Thundera--?

No! Get off him! Get away!

I wonder...

Get away from him.

Ha. It works!
This thing has power over animals.

Now, get out of here!
Go on. Go home!

Are you okay, Lion-0?

I've got the strangest feeling
about him...

...as if I know him from somewhere.

What happened?

We were attacked by some kind
of strange dog.

Ma-Mutt! If Ma-Mutt's around,
Mumm-Ra isn't far behind.

We have to get out of here!

This is the Sword of Omens.
It's warning us of danger.

Sword of Omens,
give me sight beyond sight!

The Lunataks have captured Lynx-O,
Bengali, Pumyra and the Thunderkittens.

-Who?
-They're our friends...

...back on Third Earth, Cheetara.
Thundercats, like you.

They need our help.

The Sword of Omens
protects the Thundercats.

Only the sword can help me now.

Sword of Omens, give the Thundercubs
the understanding of Thundercats.

Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

We'll do everything we can
to help you, Lion-0.

You must take the Feliner
back to Third Earth...

...find Sky-Tomb and free our friends.

I must stay here and get
the Book of Omens or all will be lost.

Reow! We've never even been
in that contraption...

...let alone know how to fly it.
Snarf, snarf.

We have to try, Snarf.
I'm sure we can do it.

We'll just have to learn what to do.

All right!

-All set?
-No, wait. I'm not going.

But you have to!
We can't leave you here.

There's nothing to be afraid of, Snarf.

We know what we're doing. I hope.

It's not that.
I'm not frightened. At least, I am...

...but that's not stopping me.

I just know I have to stay with Lion-O.

Don't ask me why, snarf, snarf.
I just know it.

You can't stay, Snarf.

Lion-O told us how we have
to go to Third Earth.

I don't care. I'm not a Thundercat.

I don't have to do what he says.

I'm a snarf, and I'm going to stay!

Wait, Snarf.

Take this in case that terrible dog
attacks you again.

Thanks, Cheetara. Take care.
Snarf, snarf.

Too late, Thundercubs!

You will never return to Third Earth!

You're marooned on Thundera...

...and this is where I will finally...

...destroy you!

In the next episode of "Thundercubs”...

...while Lion-O and the others
are trapped by Mumm-Ra...

...the Lunataks have enslaved the
remaining Thundercats on Third Earth.

Then, things start to go right
for the Thunderkittens.

The Snowman of Hook Mountain
appears on the scene.

Can the Snowman
free the Thundercats?

Will Lion-0
and the Thunderkittens escape...

...from the awesome power
of Mumm-Ra?
