Mind of a Child -- Chapter 14
Hope you like. :)Chapter 14
To say Lion-O was angry about being duped would have been an understatement. He should have known better. Now there was a decision to make; go back and show Mumm-Ra the meaning of pain or try to get the others back mentally before teaching the mummy a lesson he’d never forget. Sahara could see her father’s dilemma and put a hand on his shoulder.
“Home first. Kick butt later.” She told him.
“You know sometimes I swear it’s your mother talking.” He shook his head.
“Well you know what Mom would say.” The litah smirked.
“All right you win, lets get you home.” Lion-O nodded. Letting Ma-Mutt do the honors, the Lord of the ThunderCats had everyone out of the pyramid and on their way back to Cat’s Lair.
Upon arriving at the fortress, Lion-O took Sahara to the medical bay while the others gathered in the conference room. Hopefully they could get to the bottom of this.
“I want you to rest. Somehow Mumm-Ra used your powers against you and I don’t want you endangering yourself until we figure out how to stop him.” He told his daughter.
“You’ll get no complaints from me. Everything is still spinning and my head is killing me.” Sahara said, thankful her father left the lights off.
“All right. Rest and I promise I’ll get things turned around.” The lion promised.
“You always do.” She smiled and watched him walk out of the room. Ma-Mutt lay on the floor nearby to keep an eye on her.
“You know you can’t protect me all the time.” The litah looked to her pooch, who rolled his eyes again. She had no idea.
Back in the conference room, the others were discussing their options when Lion-O walked back into the room. He could see they were getting anxious.
“We could smack somebody upside the head and see if that works.” Panthro suggested.
“Yeah and give someone permanent brain damage.” Tygra retorted. The panther made a move to smack the tiger but Leanna stopped him.
“Don’t even think about it.” She gave him a look.
“Since when do you boss me around?” He asked.
“Since I married you, you idiot!” She yelled at him. That made everyone go quiet and they turned to Lion-O.
“She is correct. Lea and Panthro are married and have three children. You met them, Panthet, Mari, and Rohon.” The Lord of the ThunderCats figured he couldn’t sugar coat it anymore. Panthro gave one of those ‘I did what with her’ looks. This made the lion chuckle, as he knew how much they enjoyed their private time together. On the other side of the table, Ben-Gali looked at Pumyra. He knew something wasn’t right with her as she clenched her fist again for the twelfth time in the last five minutes and she kept biting her lip.
“So what else don’t we know?” Cheetara looked at him.
“There is quite a bit but we don’t have time to discuss it. If we are to launch a strike against Mumm-Ra, I need all of you back the way you were. I still don’t understand why the Sword didn’t free you as it did me.” He shook his head.
“It doesn’t make any sense, I agree. The Sword is very powerful.” Tygra nodded as he hauled a stack of books onto the table from the floor.
“What is all that?” WilyKit asked.
“I’ve been reading. Nowhere in our past has anything like this occurred and I can’t figure out how to reverse it.” The tiger explained.
“A similar event occurred when we first landed on Third Earth.” Lion-O said.
“I read about it. Which could explain how you were able to break whatever is going on but I’m not one hundred percent about that.” Tygra said and then explained to everyone the well-known occurrences of the crash landing, all those years ago.
“The space capsules age your body, not your mind, hence why I don’t think they will work here.” The tiger finished.
“I know this has to be Mumm-Ra’s doing but to break the spell would require someone as strong as him. There is only one person who could help us.” Lion-O spoke up, not believing he didn’t think of this before.
“Who?” WilyKat wondered.
“Mumm-Rana. She is Mumm-Ra’s opposite in every way.” The lion explained.
“Then we must go to her and see what can be done.” Ben-Gali spoke up as he took Pumyra’s hand in his under the table.
“Yes, I just hope she can do it, otherwise we’re back to square one.” Lion-O sighed.
