That oughta do it!

These hydraulic lifts

should raise the

Berbils' homes way above flood level.

- Hooray!

- Oh, joy!

- Nice work, Panthro!

- Yeah.

Uh Oops.

Thank you, ThunderCats.

Our homes will surely stay dry

in space.

They sure will!

Hey, guys! How are the rest

of those relief efforts coming?

Didn't have enough cement to patch

all the cracks in the Wolo dam.

But some of the Wolos

volunteered.

Just finished puttin' up the

sandbags around Castle Plun-Darr!

[both snickering]

I'm, uh, hitting a bit of a

wall with the Warrior Maidens.

[snorting, grunting]

Well, do what you can,

and get back to the Lair!

We don't want to be

out in this storm much longer!

Rain makes our fur

smell weird. [sniffs, shudders]

Got it! Come on, ladies!

Those loin cloths

aren't gonna keep you dry.

And these ponchos

are top of the line!

Fine. But do you have any

- without cute little duckies on them?

- [chirping]

- Sure! I also have ones with goslings!

- [honking]

That's a little less cute.

Okay, stay dry, ladies!

[sniffs, grunts]

[thunder rumbling]

Ugh, I can barely see anything

in this rain!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! [grunts]

Uh.

[hissing]

Uh, who there?

Get outta here.

Ooh! All right,

show yourself creep-wad.

[jolly music playing]

All right, cool car.

Hmmm, cool dude. Interesting.

Whoa!

I didn't see ya there, Spots!

Hope I didn't give ya

a case of the heebie jeebies!

Heebies? Jeebies?

I don't think so.

Hey, how do you get your hair to

stay up in the rain like that?

When you're cool like me,

the rain don't tell

your hair what to do!

Oh, yeah, totally.

Mine does that, too.

What's your handle, Spots?

Cheetara. The fastest

living person in the universe!

That's quite a mouthful.

They call me "Swampy Johnny."

[male reading]

I'd love to chat,

but I gotta make space tracks!

I think my cosmic cruiser has

a case of the "dead battery."

Any chance you could

help with that?

Sure! But you shouldn't be

driving in this storm.

Why don't you come back

to my base?

It's shaped like a cat.

Now that sounds like

a big ol' slice of all right!

Now, how's about youse

jump my car

and we'll skedaddle

before the monster gets us?

- "Monster"?

- Oh, yeah!

And it's the real uncool kind

if you catch my drift.

Uh, okay.

Okay, give it a shot!

[engine ignites]

Hey, all right.

We're all good, Spots.

- Cool.

- [growling]

- [screaming] Ah! Monster!

- Holy macaroni! Hop in!

[growls]

- Or hop on, all right.

- Go, drive!

[engine revs]

Huh?

[growling]

- [sighs] Huh?

- [roaring]

- Buckle up, I'm gonna give her a boost!

- Right on.

- [panting]

- [grunts]

[growling]

[panting]

[exclaims]

- [growling continues]

- [Cheetara exclaiming] Whoa!

- [grunts]

- You got some moves, Spots.

Swampy, what was that thing?

That big, bad bug is a Terator.

An alien species aiming to

outlaw everything cool.

That's why they're after me.

Probably why they're

after you, too.

You seem like one hip kitty.

[chuckles nervously] I mean,

yeah, uh, I'm pretty cool.

Whoa! Cat's Lair! Dead ahead!

- [beeps]

- [growling]

- [growling continues]

- [both sigh]

Now that's cool.

Hey, pretty slick pad

you got here, Spots.

Cheetara, who in Thundera

is this guy?

I thought we all agreed,

no more unannounced guests!

I know.

But you don't understand.

This guy is really cool!

Oh, my. No!

We can't just let strangers into

the Lair because they're cool!

Oh, my gosh! Who is that totally

cool guy that lives with us now?

Hey there, kitty catties

and cattie daddies!

- I'm Swampy Johnny!

- [male reading]

This is absurd!

What makes him so cool anyway?

Check it out. [grunts] Yeah!

- Wow!

- That's all the proof I need!

Only super cool hair

can do that!

- [male reading]

- Oh

Your hair is fine.

- Um, what's that?

- [growling]

Oh, right!

See, Johnny is so cool

an entire species

of cool-hating aliens

are here to destroy him.

- That's terrible!

- Any one of us could be next.

Yeah, you cats get it.

I just wanna be cool,

and share that coolness

with the whole wide world

I may be green ♪

But I don't feel blue ♪

'Cause all I want's

to share my swamp ♪

With you ♪

If I had one wish ♪

I'd live with all the fish ♪

And the mold and the fungi

in a petri dish ♪

That spread around

the world ♪

So my favorite girl ♪

Could dive right in

and go for a whirl ♪

Because all I want to do is

share my swamp with you ♪

All he wants to do

is share his swamp with you ♪

If I had the power ♪

I'd make it rain for hours ♪

Drape the whole wide world

in one big shower ♪

And when it was done ♪

We'd have some fun ♪

'Cause our life in the Swamp

will have just begun ♪

- Yeah, all I wanna do ♪

- All he wants to do ♪

- Yeah, all I wanna do ♪

- I know his heart is true ♪

All I want to do

is share my swamp with you! ♪

Well I guess that cool song

answered all your questions.

- Right, Tygra?

- It answered nothing!

[banging]

[growling]

Uh-oh. While we were singing,

the alien called for back-up.

[all growling]

Don't sweat it, everyone.

They won't get past my

defense systems [thuds]

unless the storm

knocks all the power out.

Swampy Johnny, you go!

We'll fight em' off!

Yeah, you can take the

catamaran out the back exit!

You're sweet, Spots. But ain't

no way I'm leaving you behind.

You have to

so cool can live another day.

All right,

for the sake of coolness,

I'll take the catamaran

and flee! [grunts]

I, uh I don't know

where I am.

[Cheetara clears throat]

- [Swampy Johnny] Yee-haw!

- Here they come!

[monsters growling]

Too bad you bozos hate cool,

'cause we're about to give you

the coolest butt kicking ever.

ThunderCats h*!

[banging]

[all groaning]

Ha! You'll never catch

Swampy Johnny!

You'll never stop him

from being so cool.

Uh, I'm sorry.

Did Johnny tell you we were trying

to catch him because he was cool?

Uh, yeah. Why?

We're trying to catch him

because he destroyed

our home planet with a flood!

And he's doing it again here!

Say what now?

[stuttering] But he sang

a song to us.

[laughs] Hold on.

We got a song, too.

One, two, three

Oh, Swampy Johnny ♪

He may seem cool ♪

But he turned our home

into a damp cesspool ♪

He's got a satellite

he controls from space ♪

It's why there's rain

all over this place ♪

Don't be fooled by his hair ♪

Don't fall for his pomp ♪

He's gonna turn Third Earth

into one big swamp ♪

For real ♪

[coughs]

We know our song's

not as good as Johnny's,

but we hope

it got our point across.

That fiend! How could he

lie to us like that?

He didn't!

He literally sang a whole song

about turning the world

into a giant swamp.

So, you'll let us go

so we can catch him?

We have to get his satellite

remote and save your planet.

No, we'll let you go,

but I'm going to catch him.

[all gasp]

All right, still lookin' cool.

Where do you think

you're going?

Hey, Spots. Hop in!

We'll go for a ride!

My name is Cheetara!

And you're gonna give me that

satellite remote, right now!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Let's just slow things down

- and talk this over!

- [engine revving]

- Ugh!

- You can run on water,

but I guess

you can't stand on it.

- So long, Spots!

- [coughs]

Swampy jerk!

Ah

Check it out, Spots.

The whole world

is our swamp now.

Just like we sang about.

I thought that was a metaphor,

and you know it!

- Uh Spots?

- [screams]

What are you doing, Spots?

- Stop, stop, stop!

- Whoa, whoa!

Satellite remote, now!

All right! Sheesh!

Why are you being so un-cool?

You lied to me!

The Terators weren't trying to

arrest you for being too cool.

You turned their planet

into a giant swamp!

Hey! I didn't lie.

I just so happen to think

flooding an entire planet

is super cool.

I I never thought about it

like that.

I guess the lesson here is,

everyone has different ideas

of what cool means to them.

And, maybe, you shouldn't

judge someone just because

they tried to drown all the

non-aquatic life on your planet.

Wow, that's beautiful

[groaning]

Hand over the remote.

[faintly] Here you go. [coughs]

[Lion-O screaming]

Cheetara, we're coming!

All right, Johnny.

Time to face the music.

Gotta say that was the

coolest beat down I ever got.

Maybe we can

do it again sometime. [laughs]

That sounds like

a big ol' slice of all right!

- [all laugh]

- Wait What? No!

You can't still possibly think

he's cool.

What are you talking about?

He's super cool!

Yeah. He sang that cool song.

And has that cool hair.

Yes. Honestly,

anyone who doesn't think

Swampy Johnny is super cool

is a super dork.

- You got that right!

- [all laughing]

[Terator coughs]

- Yeah, all I wanna do ♪

- All he wants to do ♪

- Yeah, all I wanna do ♪

- I know his heart is true ♪

All I want to do

is share my swamp with you! ♪
