"Lion-O, a ship has entered our airspace and is headed for Castle Plundaar." Yelled Panthro from his console. Lion-O ran over to him and peered at the screen. "It looks like a mutant ship." Said Lion-O. "It is losing altitude very quickly, it crashed." Said Panthro. There was a scream of pain from outside the door. The door opened and Cheetara stumbled in clutching her head. "Cheetara!" yelled Lion-O. He ran over and steadied her. "Cheetara what's wrong?" asked Panthro. "She is here." Said Cheetara. "Who is here?" asked Lion-O. "No time to explain, we have to get to that ship quickly." Said Cheetara urgently. Panthro and Lion-O looked at each other and nodded. "Lets go," yelled Lion-O. They raced down the hall and jumped into the Thundertank. They raced off towards the fallen ship.
They got there quickly and gasped at what they saw. There were many bodies lying on the ground. They all appeared to be mutants, but one stood out like a sore thumb. This body belonged to a female cheetah that appeared to be unconscious. "It's her, I know it is." Cried Cheetara. She raced off towards the body with Panthro and Lion-O not far behind. They reached the body and turned her over. They immediately noticed the cuts and bruises that covered her whole body. Cheetara was more worried about internal injuries.
" I'm amazed that she survived the crash. We should get her back to the Lair before the mutants arrive. Right, Lion-O you lift her up, but be careful." These voices swam through Chetania's head. She slowly opened her eyes and let out a small groan of pain. "Look, she's waking up." She looked up and saw three pairs of amber eyes staring down at her. She blinked and the faces came into focus. These figures were Thunderians, two males and one female. One of the males was a lion, the other male was a panther, and the female was a cheetah. Chetania blinked again and everything came into focus. She looked at them again and saw that they were wearing insignias. They were Thundercats! The lion was even carrying the Sword of Omens. Chetania let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
She tried to sit up, but was overcome with dizziness and pain. "Don't try to sit up. You are badly injured." Said the cheetah. Chetania's sixth sense tingled. She felt as if she had met her before. She also felt as if she knew the panther and the lion too. " Who are you?" Chet asked. "I am Cheetara." Said the cheetah. " I am Panthro," said the panther. " I am Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats." Said the lion. Chetania was very confused. When she had left Thundera Claudus was the Lord of the Thundercats. She was about to say so when an angry growl came from the distance.
Chet's eyes widened with fear. "Oh no, it's him." Chet gasped. "It's who?" asked Lion-O. " We have to get out of here right now." Chet said urgently. " She's right," said Cheetara, "we have to get out of here right now. There is danger nearby. Lion-O, pick up Chetania and let's get out of here." Chetania was too scared to ask how Cheetara knew her name. Lion-O picked Chet up and ran to the Thundertank. They all hopped in and Panthro started the engine. No sooner had he done this they were under fire. Panthro immediately put up the shields and drove of at top speed. Chet gripped the sides of her chair tightly as the Thundertank was pummeled with hard blows. She heard some strange noises above her. "It's the skycutters and the nosediver." Yelled Lion-O. After seeing the puzzled look on Chet's face he added "the mutants' vehicles." " Oh no" she groaned. Just then the Thundertank took a huge hit. " Hold on," yelled Panthro, " We are going to crash."
The tank flipped over a couple times and came to a stomach jerking halt. Everyone was thrown from the tank and sent sprawling onto the grassy floor of the clearing. The skycutters and the nosediver landed next to the damaged Thundertank. Chet opened her eyes and saw four mutants approaching her and the other Thundercats. She took a closer look at them and recognized one of them. "Oh no." she groaned. Wolfian's doggish face leered down at her. "Someone has been a very bad slave." he snarled.
