03x17 - The Thunderscope

Post by bunniefuu »

I wish we'd gone to Thundera
with the others, snarf, snarf.

We'll all be going back
to Thundera very soon, Snarf.

Very soon.

We'll rebuild our city.

Reunite our people.

Share the knowledge
we've all gained these years apart.

Hooray!

Easy, my disgusting pet.

They must have some reason
for being at their old wreck.

What?

Reow.
This thing is heavier than it looks.

This time I'll get it.

Now I've got it.

I'm all right, Lion-O.
I just hurt my pride.

This is all just a pile
of dangerous junk.

That's it.

Maybe I'll keep this.
I wonder what it is.

I wish I could
understand these writings.

Snarf. The only thing I ever get to find
is a rotten old telescope.

And even that's broken.

Maybe this dial
will make it work properly.

No such luck.

Snarf, wait a minute.

Snarf, snarf.

-Snarf.
-What is it, Snarf?

I found this in the wreckage.

It just looks
like an ordinary telescope to me, Snarf.

Why all the excitement?

Look through it.

-Oh.
-Did I glow too, Lion-0?

-You sure did. Did 1?
-Yup.

I wonder what this is.

Now, even you don't glow.
In fact, nothing glows now.

-Except the wreckage.
-It does? Snarf.

At the first setting, you and I glow.

And at the second setting
the wreckage glows.

Why?
What do we all have in common?

Aha! We all came here from Thundera.

That's what I was going to say.

Let's take this
to the Tower of Omens.

Maybe Lynx-O can explain what it is.

Well, I'll be a mummy's uncle,
Ma-Mutt.

That miserable lord
of the Thundercats...

...has found the Thunderscope.

Oh, the Thunderscope.

I thought it was just another
Thunderian legend.

We must prevent Lynx-O
from revealing its powers.

Come, my dreadful dog.

We have work to do.

Whatever this is,
Lynx-O will figure it--

Reow. Look, Lion-O.

Lynx-O, are you all right?

I'm all right. But....

I'm not Lynx-O.

I am Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.

And I will take that Thunderscope.

Never! h*!

Don't worry, Lion-O.
I'll man the ThunderTank.

On second thought,
maybe you could worry a little, Lion-O.

h*!

Huh?

I guess that will teach you not to mess
with old Snarf. Yup.

Ah!

Ma-Mutt, come here,
you horrid hound.

I guess I outsmarted you this time,
Ma-Mutt. Snarf, snarf, snarf.

Ma-Mutt, come here.

Reow.

Fetch, Ma-Mutt!

h*!

Uh!

Now, Mumm-Ra, the ever-living...

...has the legendary Thunderscope.

And if the legends are true,
it will help me...

...to find every last piece
of the Treasure of Thundera.

The Thundercats' secrets will be mine.

Then the Thundercats
will be putty in my hands...

...and I will be rid of them forever.

h*!

Must get away.

Oh, no, you don't.

Hand over....

No way, Thundercat.

The Thunderscope is mine.

Reow.

Reow. Lion-O, are you okay? Snarf.

Say something. I'll take care of you.

I'll get you for this, Mumm-Ra!

Reow. You'll regret the day
you left your sarcophagus.

I'm not frightened of you,
you miserable mutt.

Take one more step
and you'll be back in the dog pound...

...before you can say, "Rover."

Come, Ma-Mutt,
my cantankerous canine.

The lord of the Thundercats
is finished.

And without him,
that furry cretin is powerless.

Come.

Oh, Lion-0, say something.
Do something.

Reow.

Don't fret, my loyal and faithful Snarf.

It will take
more than Mumm-Ra's evil magic...

...to dim the Eye of Thundera.

Snarf. Wow.

Where am I? What happened?

Reow. Lion-O, you're all right.
I thought you might, might--

I thought you were--

-That you were--
-Well, Snarf.

Whatever you thought, I'm not.

I don't feel so good,
but at least I'm in one piece.

Oh, 1 think.

But what are we going to do now?

I mean, Mumm-Ra
has that strange telescope.

No, he doesn't, Snarf.
At least not all of it.

Reow.
What's happening, Lion-0O?

Shh.

My senses tell me
that the ancient Thunderians...

...made this device
during the great migration...

...which led to the original settlement
of Thundera.

But what does it do, Lynx-O?

The ancients designed it
to locate lost Thunderians...

...and their belongings.

They called it the Thunderscope.

This is the breakthrough, Ma-Mutt.

Now, the Treasure of Thundera
will be ours.

It's-- It's not working.

Ah, nothing.

Something is wrong.

It's missing a lens.

But, Ma-Mutt,
the Thunderscope was working...

...when that wretched Thundercat
found it.

So it follows that Lion-0...

...must have the missing lens.

But not for long.

Come, Ma-Mutt.

Let us pay the Thundercats
a surprise visit.

And relieve them
of their newfound toy.

Well, Snarf, it looks like it's time for us
to pay a visit to Mumm-Ra...

...and retrieve the Thunderscope.

Let me save you the trip, Lion-0.

Reow.

Give me that lens, Lion-O.
And be careful not to harm it.

Looks like we have guests.

I don't remember inviting them.

Maybe TugMug
would like a little light to guide him.

Ah!

Cool it, Thundercat.

No one escapes the big freeze.

Look out, Lion-O.

The lens! Don't damage the lens.

Reow.

This doesn't look too difficult to fix.

Ah....

Aha! That should do it, Ma-Mutt.

Argh! It's still not working.

Hurry, Lion-0.

Mumm-Ra and the Thunderscope
are in the pyramid.

And I can't block
the Thunderscope's signals forever.

We're on our way.

Aha! The Thunderscope
is beginning to work.

A little more fine tuning
and I'll have it.

The Thunderclaw!

Come, Ma-Mutt.
Let's put out the welcome mat.

We must get the Thunderscope back
undamaged if possible.

Only as a last resort will we destroy it
to prevent Mumm-Ra from using it.

I'd rather destroy Mumm-Ra,
snarf, snarf.

Perhaps I can help you to land,
Lion-0.

Looks like you need
some flying lessons, Thundercat.

We're not through yet,
Mumm-Ra. Hol!

One more step...

...and I'll smash
the Thunderscope to pieces.

Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

The Thunderscope, Snarf.

Way to go, Snarf.

How did the expedition
to Thundera go?

Not too well, I'm afraid.

All we could find was this orb.

We believe it may
have some powers...

...but none of us could figure out
what it does.

Hey, great!

Where did you find
that snarfball?

Snarfball?

I haven't seen one of these in years.

All the way to Thundera and back,
and all we could find was a snarfball.

At this rate it'll take us forever
to find all of the treasure.

Not with this it won't.

-What is that?
-It's the Thunderscope.

I found it, you know.

By using the Thunderscope
we will be able to locate...

...all of the missing
Treasure of Thundera...

...and decode the Book of Omens.

Yeah! But will you be able
to find anymore snarfballs?

Snarf, snarf.
