01x01 - Exodus

[bunniefuu]

MAN:

Ah! There it is, Thundera.

Never before has there been

such a beautiful, peaceful,

and harmonious place

in the universe.

But alas

Everything 'splodes someday.

Oh, hey, looks like someone

made it out of the expl*si*n.

Oh, cool,

it's the ThunderCats.

Check 'em out.

Well, we've got Lion-O,

the brand-new

Lord of the ThunderCats.

And Tygra.

He's got a rope

with ba*ls on it.

Oh, and Panthro.

He builds stuff

and has nunchucks.

Cheetara,

the fastest person

in the universe.

Wilykit and Wilykat

are the kids.

And Snarf, whatever he is.

Anyways, the ThunderCats, last

survivors of their home world,

- off to travel the universe to

- [LASERS FIRING]

Or, uh

Maybe they're just gonna land right

there on this random planet.

[SIGHS] Oh, well.

Aw, thundertoots, it's the

Mutants of Plun-Darr.

They're the sworn enemies

of the ThunderCats,

- and class-A jerks.

- [ALL LAUGHING]

Well, it looks like the ThunderCats

are gonna have their hands full.

So, I better get outta here.

Oh, what? Who am I?

My name's Jaga.

I was on Thundera

when it blew up.

[SPOOKILY] So,

now I'm a ghost.

[LAUGHING]

[POPS]

[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

Blasted Mutants.

Guess it's up to me

to salvage the scraps,

which is awesome!

I bet I could build a whole heap

of thunder tanks with this stuff!

- WILYKAT: Oh, yeah!

- WILYKIT: That was amazing.

- Let's wind it back up and do it again.

- Choo-choo!

Uh, what kind of planet

did we end up on?

There is literally

nothing here.

What's the point of being

the coolest ThunderCat

if you don't even have

any fans around? Ooh!

[CHUCKLES]

Come on now, Cheetara.

I think we can say we're all

the coolest ThunderCats.

Okay, well,

at least we're alive.

And what's more important,

we've protected

the rightful heir

to the throne

of Thundera, Lion-O,

chosen by our ancestors to

lead us through all hardships.

[CLANGING]

LION-O: Hello?

Yeah, I need someone to lead

me through this hard ship.

- [SIGHS IN EXASPERATION]

- LION-O: It's really dark in here.

[KNOCKING]

Lion-O, can you hear me?

Use the Sword of Omens.

LION-O: Oh, yeah, I forgot.

I now wield Thundera's most powerful

magic within my very hands.

Yeah, that's the spirit.

Sword of Omens,

give me a hole in the wall!

[YELLS]

Lion-O, don't use it

like a can opener. It's a

[EXCLAIMS]

Huh! Could've sworn

Tygra was right here.

Come on, Snarf.

Gotta be around somewhere.

[PURRING]

Whoa-h*-h*!

Just look at this place!

This planet is amazing!

Let's see what

we've got here. Ooh!

We've got a spooky swamp,

a creepy mountain,

and weird little guys

hiding behind rocks?

Don't look at me!

This place is

chock-full of trouble,

and as

Lord of the ThunderCats,

it is my duty to explore

all that stuff

and deal with

any dangerous baddies.

No, Lion-O. Come on, no,

that's not your duty at all.

Now, if you don't mind?

[LAUGHS] Sorry, Tygra. I'll get

you out of there real quick.

Sword of Omens,

- give me, a hole in this thing!

- Oh, no! Not that, no!

Wow, my first day

as Lord of the ThunderCats,

and I already saved

your life, Tygra.

So, anyways,

I have to go exploring.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lion-O,

a good leader can't just

take off and abandon his team.

What? I'm not

abandoning my team.

I'm gonna go out there,

find some dangerous stuff

and fight it.

You know, like a leader.

Ugh

Look, Lion-O, us ThunderCats

are trapped here,

and the only way we're gonna survive

this thing is by sticking together.

Yeah, I mean, our planet

did just blow up.

ALL: [SADLY] Yeah.

So, as Lord

of the ThunderCats,

you can't just go running off and

having adventures by yourself.

I mean, just think about it.

What if someone attacked us

while you were gone?

SLITHE: Someone like us?

Uh, yeah,

like the Mutants, for example.

You escaped us once, but

this is the end of the road.

Yeah!

Whoa! Way to whiff

the shot, Slithe. [LAUGHING]

[GASPS] Uh-oh!

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

Come on, Wilykat.

Oh, yeah, who's the best?

Oh, yeah, I'm the best?

[BOTH SCREAMING]

- Gotcha!

- Never mind, Cheetara's the best. Whoo-hoo!

Whoa! Way to go, Cheetara.

Let's see here.

Hey, Tygra, what's the word I say

to make the sword do magic stuff?

- Like, what stuff specifically?

- [BOTH GRUNT]

Oh, never mind.

I think I got it.

Sword of Omens, do

a

thing!

TYGRA: That was

not the right word.

[SLITHE YELLS]

SLITHE: Nice try,

ThunderDorks!

But we still have one blaster,

and it looks like

you're fresh out of swords.

Hey, only I get to blast

my stuff into bits.

And you ain't me.

SLITHE: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- [MUTANTS SCREAMING]

- SLITHE: No, no, no, no!

[HALTINGLY] We'll get you

for this, BlunderCats!

[GASPING]

That was amazing!

See, Lion-O,

it was just like I said.

We needed you here

when the Mutants attacked.

[LAUGHS] No,

it's just like I said.

Those Mutants are out there

and I gotta go take care

of 'em before they come back.

How can that possibly be

the lesson you learned?

Okay, here's my leader-type

plan thingy.

Uh, you guys stay here,

build the base,

and I'm going

to catch those Mutants.

[ALL AGREEING]

[GASPS] I'm doing leading!

Whoo-hoo!

[PANTING]

[SWORD UNSHEATHES]

[PANTING] Almost forgot

my magic sword thing. Ha-ha!

We're doomed.

Relax, Tygra.

Lion-O's got Snarf with him.

Not to mention,

the Sword of Omens.

What makes you think he knows

how to use that thing?

Yeah. I mean, he did just

throw it at a spaceship.

And did it or did it not

totally work?

- Fair point.

- Mmm.

[CHUCKLES] That was

some move if you ask me.

- Yeah, but it wasn't as cool as yours.

- Ha-ha! Yeah.

You were like,

"Nobody breaks my stuff."

[BOTH IMITATE expl*si*n]

What did I say

about breaking my stuff?

[BOTH STAMMERING]

Argh!

[LAUGHING]

I'm just messing with you.

- [BOTH LAUGHING NERVOUSLY]

- He got us there.

Now quit standing around and

help me pile up all this scrap.

Oh, thank you, kind sir.

[SCREAMING]

I am Berbil Bill,

a Berbil of Third Earth.

Uh, hi, Berbil.

Get back, Panthro. We don't know

anything about these creatures.

Even the subtlest interaction

could have catastrophic effects

on its entire ecosystem!

Oh, that's okay.

Your spaceship

pretty much crashed

right in the middle

of our ecosystem.

Behold our beautiful village.

[ALL SCREAMING]

Looking good, everyone.

I thought you said

there was nothing here,

Cheetara.

Uh, I guess I never looked,

uh, behind me.

You must be starving

after destroying our home.

Please, have some candy fruit.

- Thanks?

- Oh, boy!

[BOTH MUNCHING]

I suppose we better help them

build their little town?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Berbils will help new friends

build their new home

right here on Third Earth.

Berbils love to build.

Yeah, but what about

your vill

Hello, new friend.

[ALL GREETING]

Berbils build fast.

Well, I do always carry blueprints

around for a super awesome lair.

BOTH: Convenient.

Thank you.

We'll get started right away.

Follow me, Berbils.

[BERBILS GREETING]

He's got it upside down.

Look, everyone. Blueprints.

BERBILS: Blue

Well, at least you don't have

to worry about Lion-O.

Yeah, I mean, if these little

Berbils can live here,

Third Earth

must be a paradise.

Oh, yes. We love

everything about Third Earth.

Except Mumm-Ra.

He's so evil,

a magic bolt of lightning

strikes you

every time

you say his name.

Which is Mumm-Ra.

Yup, everything about

Third Earth is great.

- Well, that's

- Except for Mumm-Ra.

Stop. You don't have to keep

saying his name.

That's okay. We just like

being helpful.

- Thank you.

- Especially when it comes to Mumm-Ra.

Oh, hey,

did someone say Mumm-Ra?

I have to say,

I'm a little concerned

about Lion-O

running into this Mumm

BOTH: Shh!

- Running into this guy.

- Eh, it's a big planet.

Yeah, let's just hope

he stays somewhat discreet.

Whoo-hoo!

I'm Lion-O, Lord of the ThunderCats,

and I'm swinging on a vine! Yee-haw!

[GROANS] Oh! Uh-oh.

[GRUNTING]

Hyah!

Hey, frog. What do you

know about the Mutants?

Hey, bug, tell me

where the Mutants are.

[BUZZING]

[WATER BUBBLING]

- [BEES BUZZING]

- Tell me where the Mutants are, bees!

[MUFFLED] Please tell me

about the Mutants, turtle.

- Fess up about the Mutants, bats.

- [BATS SQUEAKING]

Fess up

about the Mutants, bird.

Fess up

about the Mutants, egg.

Fess up about the Mutants,

littler bird.

Hey, you, Mutants,

tell me where Oh!

- Huh?

- Huh?

- Huh?

- Uh

You better surrender

or you'll have to face the

wrath of the Sword of Omens.

[CHUCKLES] Vultureman, Jackalman,

Monkian, back in the ship!

[ALL LAUGHING]

Hmm

Why do you think they're heading

back in their broken ship?

- Ah! It's not broken!

- [LASER POWERING UP]

[expl*si*n]

Whoa! Ha-ha!

Now this is what the Lord of the

ThunderCats should be doing.

Whoo-hoo!

Whee!

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whee!

Gah! Don't just sit there, Mutants!

Do some damage.

Not to our own ship.

To the ThunderCat!

Ha-ha! I could do this

all day, Snarf.

[GROANS] What gives

[STAMMERING] Whoa. Ah!

Ha-ha! You're trapped,

ThunderDunce.

Now prepare to taste laser.

But I already ate lunch.

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

- [WHIMPERING]

- [PURRING ANGRILY]

Whoa.

[MUTANTS SCREAM]

Wow, Snarf. It looks

like you're a robot.

And you're out of blasters.

Right you are, Lion-Guy.

Vultureman,

prepare the bombs.

Oh! Ha-ha! Yes, sir.

Boop!

Well, Snarf, I don't suppose you've

got any more tricks up your sleeve?

[SAW WHIRRING]

- [INDICATOR BEEPING]

- [POWERING DOWN]

Oh, doots!

SLITHE: [LAUGHS EVILLY]

Launch in five, four

[MUTANTS SCREAMING]

We're still alive!

What?

Fools!

No one loiters on the

front lawn of Mumm-Ra,

the Ever-Living!
