Mind of a Child -- Chapter 5
Enjoy! Chapter 5 It soon became obvious to the ThunderCats, that lasers or missiles did not deter the very large creature and it continued on its path toward Cat’s Lair. Lion-O knew the safety of everyone inside was in jeopardy and that he had to make a decision. “Leo, you’re in charge. I’m going down to ground level.” Without another word the Lord of the ThunderCats left his station. Leo’s eyes went wide but he continued to command the Thunder Guard. Lion-O made his way down through Cat’s Lair and out onto the plaza in front of the steps. There were some old friends he had to awaken. “Mighty stone ThunderCats, arise! Your Lord commands it!” Lifting the Sword of Omens high into the air, a roar escaped from the Eye of Thundera and the Cat Signal stretched across the sky. The ground underneath the lion’s feet quaked and broke apart as four mighty stone giants rose from their positions. “Defend Cat’s Lair!” Lion-O ordered. The four put their left fists to their right shoulders and then turned to face their enemy. The large creature turned when it felt the ground shake. It’s attention turned from Cat’s Lair for only a second but that was enough for the stone ThunderCats to get what they wanted. Punches began to be thrown and the stone made the lizard’s advance look more like a retreat. Soon they had backed Mumm-Ra’s reptilian creation back toward the woods. Inside the Lair, Sahara told her brother to cease fire as their target was no longer in range. Leo gave the command but told the Thunder Guard to remain at their posts. They all watched as the stone guardians of the Lair continued to beat back the enemy. Then suddenly the lizard creature, which was slightly taller than its opponents, let forth a mighty belch. At first, it sounded funny but it was then that they all realized what the belch had produced, fire. “That’s not good, is it?” Mari asked as the ThunderCats began to turn red with heat. “No, it isn’t. Look.” Sahara pointed to the grass and trees around the fighting. The incredibly hot rocks were starting the forest on fire. “Between that fire breathing lizard and the hot ThunderCats, they could burn everything around us to the ground.” Snarfer said. “We have to do something. I’m tried of sitting back and letting someone else fight for me.” Panthro stood up from his chair. “What are you going to do?” Leanna asked him, a worried look crossed her face. “I’ll think of something.” The panther smirked and left the control room. Lea, not wanting to see the attractive panther get hurt, quickly followed. “Where are they going?” Sahara asked. “I don’t know, but I’m going too.” Cheetara put her foot down and in a second was gone. “Come on!” Tygra shouted as the rest of the kids in adult’s bodies left the room. “Ma-Mutt, cut them off at the pass!” The litah screamed, knowing someone was more likely to get hurt or worse if they went out there. Quickly the ever-living dog sprang into action with his master not far behind, leaving Mari and the Snarfs in the control room. The panion watched as the lizard began to smash apart the stone ThunderCats. She knew that it would only be a matter of time before it was back on it’s original path and they had no way of stopping it. “Jaga, help us.” She shook her head and again prepared the Catapult despite its obvious uselessness. Radioing up to Leo, she described the situation. He told her to stay put. He had faith in his sister’s abilities. If anyone could bring the others back it was her, at least he hoped so. Meanwhile, Lion-O saw the band of ThunderCats coming at him and he knew there was no way he could stop them on his own. Quickly he held the Sword of Omens above his head and cried, “Thunder… thunder… thunder… ThunderCats HO!!!!!” To Be Continued…
