03x07 - Chain of Loyalty

[bunniefuu]

Thunder. Thunder. Thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

Ah!

This isn't getting us anywhere,
Lion-0.

We're never going to decipher
the Book Of Omens.

We can't give up, Tygra.

Wait a minute. What's that?

Those pictures.
That's us, the Thundercats.

Panthro, Bengali, come and take a look
at this. What do you make of it?

Some kind of ceremonial chain?

With pictures
of the Thundercats on it?

Come and get it. Candy-fruit pie.
Just like Momma used to make.

Hey, sounds good to me.

Then what are we waiting for?

Aren't you coming, Lion-O?

I'll be with you in a while.

There must be some way
to figure this out.

You're looking at the Chain of Loyalty,
Lion-0.

One of the most sacred pieces
of the Treasure of Thundera.

They say that once the chain
is broken...

...the Thundercats will begin to fight
amongst themselves.

But where is it, Jaga?

How can I find it and protect it?

It remains on the New Thundera,
Lion-0.

You must go there and find it.

Jaga, wait!

Find the Chain of Loyalty
before it falls into dangerous hands.

But be careful.

It is deceptively delicate.

We've got by this long
without the chain, Lion-O.

It seems strange that Jaga
should suddenly tell you to find it.

I don't understand it either, Cheetara.

But we have to follow
Jaga's directions.

Bengali, we need you to stay
and take care of Cats' Lair.

You stay here to help him, Snarf.

-But I always go with you, Lion-O.
-Not this time.

Meow

The rest of us
will leave for Thundera...

...in exactly one hour from now.

Aha!

The Thundercats'
infernal space machine.

And headed for the New Thundera
by the look of things.

Come, my decrepit dog.

Let us repair to the Mumm-Raft.

We must prevent them from salvaging
even the smallest remnant...

...of the Treasure of Thundera.

But first I must prepare myself.

Ancient spirits of evil...

...transform this decayed form...

...to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living!

To Thundera, Ma-Mutt.

Well, horrible hound, we seem
to have beaten the Thundercats to--

Sic him, boy! Go fetch.

Hey, let go of me, Ma-Mutt.

Put me down! Ow!

So kind of you to welcome me...

...back to Thundera, Snarf Egbert.

You will be of invaluable assistance
to me.

O ancient spirits of evil...

...grant me the disguise...

...of Snarf Egbert!

Lock him up, Ma-Mutt.

He has served his purpose.

And, uh, hide the Mumm-Raft
while you're at it.

We can't afford to tip our hand
to the Thundercats.

Put the Feliner down...

...by the ruins of Mumm-Ra's
Thunderian pyramid, Panthro.

That seems as good a place as any...

...to start the search
for the Chain of Loyalty.

You got it, Lion-0.

Hey, Egbert!

Just the snarf we need to see.

You can help us find
the Chain of Loyalty.

Hmm, the Chain of Loyalty?

Sounds like something
I should know about.

Just say the word.

I'll do anything I can, Thundercats.

This is what we're looking for, Egbert.

It's called the Chain of Loyalty.

And it's vital to the continued existence
of the Thundercats.

Hmm, I'll call a council meeting
of all the snarfs.

We'll find that, uh, chain thing for you,
never fear.

Just leave it to good old Mum--
Uh, ahem, Egbert.

We'll split up.
Panthro, you take the Caverns of Cold.

Cheetara and Tygra,
take the Jungles of Darkness.

Thunderkittens, you and I will search
the Mountains of the Moon.

Egbert, you join us
on the Mountains of the Moon...

...when you've spoken
to all the other snarfs.

There has to be a better way of looking
for the Chain of Loyalty...

...than combing every square inch
of Thundera.

Until we think of one,
we don't have much choice.

Even with these Cats' Eyes,
it's hard to make anything out.

Wait a minute.
There's something up in that tree.

What do you think it is?

There's one way to find out.

I've found it!

I don't think it's what we're looking for,
but I'll get it anyway.

What's your problem, Egbert?

A little too much spring
and not enough heel, perhaps?

You may laugh now, Thunderkittens...

...but I'll soon make you laugh
on the other side of your faces.

Uh, these springamajigs
are going to ruin me for life.

Snarf, snarf.

I just can't seem to control them.

Hey, Lion-0. Look.

What do you think it is?
-There's only one thing to do: Find out.

So even on Thundera,
people leave their litter all over the place.

A very nasty habit.

We'll never climb that, Lion-O.

It's as smooth as marble.

Perhaps we won't have to climb it,
Wilykit.

I thought so.

The gravity's so strong here
in the Mountains of the Moon...

...that I can't fire the line
high enough.

Wait a minute. I have an idea.

You've been eating too much
of Snarf's candy-fruit pie.

Is this what you're looking for?

Hm. Looks like a piece of junk to me.

Let's do it. You first, Wilykat.

Here I come!

Now you, Wilykit.

Three, two, one, lift off!

Steady.

It's all up to you now, Egbert.

I'd better go through
with this ridiculous charade.

If that thing up there
isn't the Chain of Loyalty...

...I'll still need the Thundercats' help.

I don't like this, Lion-O.

-Come on, Egbert.
-You can do it.

Here we go.

Snarf, snarf, snarf!

Everybody. All together.

One. Two. Three. Go!

Is it up there, Egbert?

Oh, yes, Thundercats.
It's up here, all right.

It's up here...

...and so am I.

Mumm-Ral!

Yes, Mumm-Ra.

Thanks to your stupidity,
I have the Chain of Loyalty.

And that spells the end
of the Thundercats!

I have the Chain of Loyalty...

...and that spells the end
of the Thundercats!

-Don't count on it, Mumm-Ra.
-No, Lion-O!

h*!
You might damage the Chain.

Give it to me. I saw it first.

Back off, Wilykat.

Wilykit, Kat.

What in the name of Jaga
do you think you're doing? Stop it.

-Oh, take a hike, Lion-O. Back off.
-Yeah.

-We're sick of being bossed around.
-What?

Just who do you think
you are anyway, huh?

Hey!

Well, Thundercat,
it seems you have done my work for me.

Breaking the Chain of Loyalty...

...has some interesting results,
doesn't it?

Instead of working together...

...the Thundercats
fight amongst themselves.

Oh, this is my fault.

I lost my temper with Mumm-Ra
and I broke the Chain of Loyalty.

The Sword. A warning of danger.

Sword of Omens,
give me sight beyond sight.

Thundercat against Thundercat.

No wonder Jaga warned me
not to break the Chain of Loyalty.

Stop it, you two.
Calm down and cool off.

Now to get out of here
and help Lion-0.

No sign of that dreadful dog.

I wonder where he is.

If Mumm-Ra can trick Lion-0
by disguising himself as me...

...maybe I can trick Ma-Mutt
by disguising myself as Mumm-Ra.

But that horrible hound
will tear me to pieces if 1 fail.

Oh, pull yourself together, Egbert.

Be a snarf.

The Thundercats need you.

Ma-Mutt.

Ma-Mutt.

Can you hear me...

...you cantankerous canine?

Phew! Okay, now.

:
I have another task for you.

A task which will take you...

...beyond the furthest horizons
of Thundera.

Go, Ma-Mutt.

Follow the setting sun.

Go now.

And when you have reached that distant
destination, I will contact you again.

I hope that worked.

Well, anly one way to tell.

The coasts clear.

Now to find Lion-O.

Stay right here, Thunderkittens.

I'm going to find Cheetara,
Tygra and Panthro.

Then, somehow, we'll find a way
to repair the Chain of Loyalty.

Maybe that will bring everyone
back to their senses.

Getting warmer.

I must be leaving the Caverns of Cold.

Another couple of hours
and I'll reach the Feliner.

What better place to ambush
the lord of the Thundercats?

Uh-oh.

Sword of Omens, give me--

Cheetara, Tygra. Wait. Stop.

-You don't know what you're doing.
Wrong, Lion-0.

I know exactly what I'm doing.
I'm going to destroy you.

Not if I get there first, Cheetara.

And when I've finished with Lion-0O,
I'll finish you.

Stop this senseless fighting!
We're Thundercats.

I don't want to fight you.
You're my friends.

I'm sorry it's come to this, Tygra.

Tygra, look out!

Well, that was too close for comfort,
old friend.

Thanks but no thanks, Lion-O.

I didn't want to do this.

h*!

What else could I do?

You didn't leave me any choice.

No. I can't see!

Give those Cats' Eyes back!

I'm sorry, it's the only way
I can immobilize you.

If I ever get out of this,
I have to start working out.

I'm puffing like a steam engine.

And I don't have any idea
how to find Lion-0.

Untie me, you big bully.
Let me go.

Let me go. I'll get you one day.

Save your breath, Thunderkittens.

I'm not going to let you go
until you come to your senses.

That goes for you too, I'm afraid.

Panthro!

Take it easy, Panthro.
This is me, Lion-O. Your friend.

I have no friends. I hunt alone.

Everyone is my enemy.

Say goodbye to tomorrow,
Thundercat.

No, Panthro!

Out of my way,
you pathetic creature.

Run, Egbert! Save yourself.

You don't stand a chance.

Snarf.

Here goes nothing.

Sword of Omens, come to my hand.

Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

I don't-- What?
Something's wrong. I can't--

It'll take more than puny sword tricks
to take me, Lion-0.

What happened?
Oh, boy.

I don't understand.

I feel like
I had some kind of nightmare.

Me too.
-Let's just say we had a few problems.

But thanks to Egbert here,
we seem to have pulled through.

Thundercats, h*!
Hol!

Ma-Mutt?

Ma-Mutt.

Where are you?

Ma-Mutt. Here, boy. Here!

Ma-Mutt!

You let that wretched Egbert go.

Ma-Mutt!

Just wait till I catch you,
you crass cur.

I'll make you pay for this treachery.

I don't know how to thank you,
Egbert.

Without you, we never would have
recovered the Chain of Loyalty...

...and we Thundercats would have
fought amongst ourselves for eternity.

Well, you don't have to, Lion-O.
We snarfs know our duty.

We're brought up to work with
Thundercats, to help whenever we can.

Maybe, Egbert. But you showed courage
above and beyond the call of duty.

-Thank you.
-That's okay, Lion-O. A pleasure.

-Say hello to Snarf and Snarfer.
-Sure will.

And if you ever need us,
be sure you call.
