<Thundercub> See him anywhere?

<Cheezey> No, I think Black Eagle lost him.

<Thundercub> So it's safe?

<Cheez> Define safe.

<Thundercub> Safe enough to run this event?

<Cheez> I guess so.  Let's get it started.

<Thundercub> Welcome viewers.  We're in Mumm-Ra's cauldron room waiting for the swimming to start.  Who's first?

<Cheez> The Lunatacs.  None of them are good swimmers, so this should be interesting.

<Thundercub> They're all jumping in except Chilla.  She's...wow.  That's cold.

<Cheez> Chilla has turned this into an ice skating event.  But the other Lunatacs are frozen in the cauldron.

<Thundercub> Tough luck, I guess.  And Chilla is finishing up her act.  There she goes.  That's it for the Lunatacs.  So...is anyone going to thaw those guys?

<Cheez> Mumm-Ra's team is up next and the Enflamor is already working on the problem.  He's doing a pretty good job, too.  And Mumm-Ra is also helping out.  They shouldn't take much longer.  Now they're pulling the Lunatacs out.

<Thundercub> How is the Enflamor going to survive this event?

<Cheez> I don't know.  But I do know that Mumm-Ra told him he didn't have to swim.

<Thundercub> But the rules state that--

<Cheez> I didn't say Mumm-Ra was telling him the truth.  That's just what Mumm-Ra said to calm the flame boy down.

<Thundercub> Ahhh...

<Cheez> And the cauldron is thawed.  And the Enflamor is thrown in!  Boy, he sinks like a rock.

<Thundercub> You take off all those flames and he's kind of skinny, too.

<Cheez> The Driller is sinking, Ma-Mutt is dog paddling, the three ASOE statues are sinking, Mumm-Ra is fuming, Grune is...I think Grune is actually doing some sort of routine, but he's the only one.

<Thundercub> So much for them.  Here come the Thundercats.  I don't think Tygra is too keen on this event.  His whip isn't allowed.  We'll have to see what the Thundercats...that's one way, I guess.

<Cheez> I can't believe Panthro and Lion-O just threw Tygra into the cauldron.  It's a good thing he caught the side.

<Thundercub> They're all in now, but Tygra is trying to climb back out.  Ooo, water fight!

<Cheez> If you were really creative, you could probably imagine that was some kind of dance.  The Thunderkittens sure look like they're having fun.

<Thundercub> And why not?  They're getting the adults pretty wet.

<Cheez> Whoops, Tygra just went under.  Cheetara's pulling him up, but Panthro is trying to dunk them both.  And Lion-O has both kittens held under.  Yeah, there's a certain artistic quality about the whole thing.  You could call this a dance.

<Thundercub> You could also call it chaos.  Tygra's made it out of the water, and that's it for the Thundercats.  Oh, and the Lunatacs have been disqualified because Chilla never actually got in the water.

<Cheez> They're always looking for a way to disqualify the Lunatacs.

<Thundercub> They haven't been singled out.  The Third Earthers are also disqualified because Turmagar is dead and they don't have a full team.  And guess who didn't get Jackalman back for this event!

<Cheez> Did Lady Bast forget?

<Thundercub> I guess so.  Anyway, because the mutants are also short one, they're disqualified, too.

<Cheez> Which means the humans are left.  And here they come.  I see Safari Joe is toting his gun and full safari outfit.

<Thundercub>  They're getting in the water and--

<Black Eagle> We've gotta clear out of here.  RD is heading back again!

<Cheez> But the humans just started!

<Black Eagle> Tough for them.  Run!

<Thundercub> And we didn't even get to do an interview.

<Cheez> Let's do one on the run.  Who's got it this time?

<Thundera Tiger> I do!

<Cheez> Weren't you supposed to be distracting RD with Black Eagle?

<Tiger> Yeah, but I asked Snarf to take my place.

<Thundercub> You asked who?!

<Tiger> Okay, so it wasn't the best choice, but I was bored.  Anyway, I'm hiding in the pyramid with the Thundercat swim team.  So what went wrong in that event?  You looked like you were having a fight.

<Cheetara> We didn't have a fight.  We had a misunderstanding.

<Lion-O> Tygra wouldn't swim.

<Tygra> I CAN'T swim, you idiot!

<Panthro> Like that's any excuse.

<Wiley Kit> I did my part.

<Wiley Kat> Me, too.

<Lion-O> It would have all worked if Tygra had just faced his fear of water and--

<Tygra> We've been over this, Lion-O!  It's a psychologically implanted fear leftover from mutant captivity and the only way to get around my fear of water is to focus my mind so tightly that I can't think of anything else and if I don't have my whip to aid my focus, then I can't--

<Tiger> I think I'll toss it back to you guys.  This is getting a little wild down here.

<Cheez> Interesting.  I assume you're writing that into a story?

<Tiger> I'm thinking about it.

<Thundercub> Well, good luck.  And here are the judges' reports.  They're giving the humans third for getting in the water.  Mumm-Ra's team is second, and for their aquatic fight, the Thundercats take first.

<Cheez> And we're taking cover.

<Black Eagle> Actually, it's safe now.  Fianna and Lady Thundera managed to divert RD.

<Cheez> Oh good.  Then we can move to power lifting.  That's covered by Lady Thundera and Thundera Tiger, right?

<Thundercub> Should be.  As soon as Lady Thundera gets back, we'll start.

<Cheez> Can't wait.  This should be a good one.
