04x02 - Return to Thundera! Part II

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: /n the last episode
of "Return to Thundera”...

...the Thundercats began to rebuild
the planet which was once their home.

Meanwhile, the ancient spirits
freed Mumm-Ra...

...who set about
the destruction of New Thundera.

PANTHRO: I get the feeling
we're in for a rough ride...

...up here on New Thundera.

And I get the feeling
that whatever's happening...

...it"'s not a natural phenomenon.

You mean someone's
working against us?

That's what we have to find out.

We're aiming to finish
the Council Chamber by--

Reow!

[ALL GRUNTING]

Reow! How can anyone expect us
to stay on schedule...

...when we keep getting hit
by these earthquakes, snarf, snarf?

It's only a matter of time...

...before the gyroscope's
entire control system crashes.

And if that happens,
this planet will fly apart.

And since I, Mumm-Ra, the ever-living...

...have the regulator,
New Thundera will indeed fly apart.

And the Thundercats will perish in space.

But I, Mumm-Ra, the ever-living,
will survive to return to Third Earth...

...and rule in terror!

[LAUGHING]

Reow. Why can't we construct
the lair somewhere else?

Because there doesn't seem
to be a corner of New Thundera...

...which is safe from
these shocks, Snarf.

No, this site is as good as we'll find.

You'll just have to keep
everyone working as best they can...

...while we find the cause
of these disturbances.

SNARFER:
Thundercats! Uncle Os--!

Uh, Uncle Snarf! Thundercats!

SNARF:
What's all the excitement, Snarfer?

SNARFER: Gee, well, I'm picking up
some strange signals...

...on the snarf communicator, Uncle.

From the area of the Churning Rocks.

Well, lead on, Snarfer, and let's listen in.

SNARFER: This is snarf Snarfer
at the new Cats' Lair.

Can you hear me?

MAN:
Mayday! Mayday!

Thunderian refugees
returning home to New Thundera...

...landed near strange rocks
pounding up and down.

Thunderian refugees?

We have to rescue them, Lion-O.

Captured by Two-Time.
Held prisoner in Dome-Down.

Please. Someone, help us.

[BOTH YOWL]

I guess you cranked up
too much juice, Egbert.

[GROANS]

Fetch Cheetara, Snarf,
and we'll try to locate those refugees.

Panthro, you keep an eye on things here.

Try to figure out
those strange disturbances.

I'll bet the Feliner to a pinch of dust
that they're not naturally caused.

You got it, Lion-0.

And if someone's behind them,
I'll find out.

LION-O: Cheetara, set the quickest
course to the Churning Rocks.

CHEETARA:
Roger, Lion-0.

MUMM-RA:
Aha!

So those miserable do-gooders...

...are off on a mission of mercy.

Well, we'll soon put a stop to that.

Oh, ancient spirits of evil...

...grant your groveling servant
one request.

Release Grune, the destroyer...

...from his eternal tomb on Third Earth.

Free Grune, the destroyer...

...and he will help me
to destroy the Thundercats.

[GROWLING]

Who frees Grune, the destroyer,
from his perpetual prison?

Mumm-Ra.

So it was you who freed me
from my tomb.

Indeed it was, Grune, and now...

...you must repay me.

There is nothing I must do, Mumm-Ra.

But tell me what you want...

...and I may oblige you.

Those who imprisoned you
on Third Earth...

...the Thundercat Lion-O
and his wretched friends...

...are now here on New Thundera.

They have traveled to
the Churning Rocks on a rescue mission.

Go there.

Seek your revenge.

Go there and...

...destroy them!

No sign of anything so far.

There isn't a safe square inch to land on.

Wait a minute. Go around again.

That's it. I think we've found something.

There's some kind of platform
down there.

CHEETARA: I see it.
SNARF: Reow.

I hope whoever put it there
is friendly, snarf, snarf.

I wonder who constructed this thing.

It's a sophisticated piece of engineering.

Maybe one of the snarfs will know.
I'll ask.

[YOWLS]

Huh?

Lion-0.

Grune!

Put away your puny weapons,
Thundercats...

...and submit to me...

...Grune, the destroyer.

h*!

[GRUNTS]

You'll have to do
better than that, Thundercats.

[LION-O GRUNTS]

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTING]

h*! h*!

h*! h*! h*!

Reow. Try someone your own size,
you bully oaf.

[YELLING]

Snarf!

Lion-O, behind you.

[GRUNE LAUGHS]

No contest.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNE LAUGHS]

So much for the Thundercats'
furry sl*ve.

Now to deal with you,
miserable creatures.

I believe a lingering destruction...

...will be most fitting.

[LAUGHS]

Farewell, Thundercats.

It is only a matter of time...

...before these rocks grind you to pieces.

[LAUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

Unh! Cheetara!

I don't believe it.

[GASPS]

LION-O:
Snarf!

Oh. Reow.

Don't worry. I'm coming, Lion-O.

LION-O:
No, these bonds are unbreakable.

Find the pieces of the Sword of Omens.

Take them back to the new lair.

Maybe Bengali can forge them
into a new blade.

LION-O:
If not, we're done for.

There doesn't seem to be a pattern
to these tremors.

They're happening at random.

And they're certainly not
natural phenomena.

I wonder who can be causing them.

[ALL GRUNTING]

WILYKAT: Are you guys okay?
-We're fine.

Anyone hurt up there?

A few bumps and bruises...

...but we're all getting so used to these
tremors that we know what to do.

That's fine as long as
they're just tremors.

If they develop
into a full-scale earthquake...

...it will be a different kettle of fish.

Then let's get on with trying to locate
the source of these disturbances.

-How long do you think we've got?
-Before that rock face hits us?

Who can say?
Maybe two hours, maybe longer.

That's not a lot of time
for Snarf to find Bengali.

Reow!

SNARF: This is hopeless.
I've been running for hours...

...and I'm still not clear
of these blasted Churning Rocks.

What in the name
of all the Osberts is that?

Time to be getting out of here.

[WHIMPERING]

Hey, what's going on?

Reow!

Reow!

[GRUNTING]

Huh? What strangeness have we here?

Strangeness?
I'll give you strangeness, you great--

Interesting.

Interesting? I should say so.

That is-- Was the Sword of Omens.

It belongs to Lion-O,
lord of the Thundercats.

Wrong, oddly shaped creature.

It belongs to me...

...Charr, intergalactic wrecker
and dealer in fine metals.

Well, Mr. Charr, that sword's
not much use to you, is it?

I mean, it's broken.

I was taking it to the new Cats' Lair,
where my friend...

...the Thundercat Bengali,
may be able to repair it.

So just give me those useless bits
of metal, and I'll be on my way.

No, they're mine.

But they're useless fragments
of a sword.

They're no use to you.

It'll take Thundercat magic
to put them together.

Thundercat magic?

Are you telling me, Charr,
that I cannot fix this?

I'm the greatest metal worker
that ever lived.

Reow! That doesn't alter the fact
that those pieces of sword...

...belong to the Thundercats,
and only Bengali can fix them.

Ha! We'll soon see about that,
my peculiar furry friend.

SNARF:
Oh! Reow!

I hope you know what you're doing,
Charr.

The Thundercats will flay me alive
if I lose the Sword of Omens.

Reow! What have you done?

You've turned the Sword of Omens
into a doughnut.

I wish I could tell you
I have a good feeling about this. Unh!

Snarf will come through for us,
Cheetara.

I'm sure he will.

So?

Reow! It looks good as new.

Better than new.

[CHARR YELLS]

[GRUNTING]

What is it, Cheetara?

What's happening? Why--?

I1-- 1 don't know. I-- I'm not sure.

CHARR:
A fine piece of work.

It will go well with my collection.
Ha-ha-ha.

No, the Sword of Omens
belongs to Lion-0O.

[GRUNTING]

The Sword of Omens is whole again.

I'm sure of it. I can feel it.

Call it, Lion-O. Try to summon it.

Sword of Omens, come to my hand.

It's possessed.

[YELLING]

-Snarf.
CHEETARA: You made it.

I have repaid you
for my freedom, Mumm-Ra.

MUMM-RA:
What?

h*!

You have failed me, Grune.

-Your punishment will be--
-I have not failed yet, Mumm-Ra.

Let me finish what I started.

[GROWLS]

[GRUNTING]

h*! h*! h*! h*! h*!

h*!

[GRUNTING]

No!

Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

[GRUNTING]

LION-O:
We Thundercats are in your debt, Charr.

When you reforged
the Sword of Omens...

...you seem to have made it
more powerful than ever.

The truth is, Thundercats, I--
I wanted to keep that sword for myself.

But your brave friend fought hard.

Only the lord of the Thundercats
can wield the Sword of Omens, Charr.

And now the sword is back
where it belongs.

So all's well that ends well--
Reow!

[ALL GRUNTING]

-What's that?
-What's going on?

You may have your puny
Sword of Omens, Lion-0...

...but I have the gyroscope's regulator.

And as long as I have it...

...New Thundera is doomed!

[LAUGHING]

NARRATOR: /n the next episode
of "Return to Thundera”...

...the Thundercats learn that Mumm-Ra
is wrecking their new home.

Then, they become trapped
in Dome-Down...

...the spaceship of the vicious
two-headed Two-Time.

You are my prisoners,
and you will be my sl*ves...

...imprisoned in my magnificent ship,
Dome-Down...

...serving my every need.
