Mind of a Child -- Chapter 2
Enjoy!Chapter 2
Quickly, the litah’s brain kicked into overdrive. Tyler and Maya were out in the ThunderTank with two kids. He didn’t know how to drive the large vehicle yet and she didn’t want him to try. Playing with Panthro’s baby wasn’t exactly the best idea.
“Leo, keep everyone in here, Ma-Mutt you too. Mari, you come with me.” Sahara ordered.
“Right.” The younger one answered. There may have been a six-year difference between the two girls but they had formed a strong friendship. Leo stood there, unsure of what to do but he smiled at his faithful pet and said,
“Well you heard her.” Ma-Mutt barked and wagged his tail. The ever-living dog ran around the room and picked up his ball.
“Looks like someone wants to play.” Leanna smiled.
“I get the ball first!” Tygra shouted as he chased after Ma-Mutt.
“Not fair!” Panthro took off after him. Soon Lion-O and Cheetara joined in. Panthet and Rohon looked over to Leo. It was obvious they were confused.
“Come on guys.” The next in line smiled and joined in the chase for Ma-Mutt. Meanwhile, Sahara and Mari headed for the control room.
Once there they found WilyKit and WilyKat behaving like, well ThunderKittens. Sahara shook her head and went over to the radio.
“You guys mind if I make a call?” She asked in all seriousness. Both shrugged and went back to their argument about who could race the fastest on their old Space Boards. Quickly, the litah made the call out to the ThunderTank while Mari looked at the twins in amazement.
“Please tell me, my brothers and I aren’t like that.” She said.
“Do you really want me to answer that?” Sahara smirked as the ThunderTank came up on the screen.
“Tyler, can you hear me?” She asked.
“Yes, I can. What’s going on? Mom and Dad are acting funny.” He wanted to know.
“If I knew I’d tell you. Can either one drive the tank back?” Sahara wondered.
“Let me see.” Tyler replied before disappearing for a few minutes.
“What of they can’t?” Mari asked. Her friend opened her mouth but no words came out. She didn’t have the foggiest idea what to do next.
“Dad wants to try but as for being one hundred percent positive…” the pumiger trailed off. Sahara let out a loud sigh.
“All right, try to have him get you back here. If things get ugly, stop and call the control room.” She told him.
“You got it.” Tyler nodded.
“Good luck and be careful.” The litah smiled nervously.
“Will do, ThunderTank out.” The call ended and Sahara turned to Mari.
“You stay here with these two and I’m going to check on my brother.”
“You got it.” The nine year old smiled and nodded as she watched her friend duck back out the doors and head for the dining room.
Over at the black pyramid, it seemed the usual suspect was enjoying himself way too much. Mumm-Ra could not help but laugh as he looked into his bubbling cauldron. The ThunderCats were chasing Ma-Mutt around in the dining room. At some point they started to play fetch.
“I should have thought of this sooner. Not only does it keep those miserable cats out of my bandages, it’s amusing as well.” He smirked.
“Now for part two.” He continued as he grabbed his spell book off the pedestal nearby.
