Mind of a Child -- Chapter 6
Enjoy!!!!Chapter 6
The ThunderCats stopped in their tracks as the Cat Signal shot into the sky. The stone ThunderCats turned to the Lord of the ThunderCats, which gave the lizard time to hit them, again hard. Large pieces of rock tumbled and slammed into the ground as those that had been whole began to fall apart. Now more Thunder Guard ran from the barracks and would reach Lion-O and the others in a few minutes.
“The Thunder Guard will handle the fires. We have to destroy that creature.” He instructed the cats hoping they had turned back into adults. No such luck.
“How are we going to do that? We’re so small and he’s so big.” WilyKit said. The lion knew he was in trouble and that’s when he heard the familiar roar of the ThunderTank as it approached from the south.
“Thank Jaga.” He sighed, slightly relieved. At this point the Thunder Guard and the commander had arrived and Lion-O instructed them to put the fires out and told them to call up the reserves as well.
“We need all the help we can get.” The Lord of the ThunderCats told the cougar.
“Yes, King Lion-O. We’re on it.” General Courali nodded before heading off with his troops. The ThunderTank had arrived by the end of the conversation and Ben-Gali, Pumyra, Tyler, and Maya had joined the group.
“Glad to see you made it.” Lion-O smiled.
“Uh huh.” Ben-Gali couldn’t keep his eyes off of the lizard creature.
“Mom and Dad have been acting weird.” Tyler explained.
“No worries, we’ll get them back to normal as soon as we save the day.” Sahara tried to be reassuring as she came up behind the pumiger.
“And how do we plan on doing that?” Maya wondered, her voice giving away her fear. There was dead silence.
“Is there an echo in here?” Leanna said trying to lighten the mood as the ground shook beneath their feet signifying the fall of the last of the stone ThunderCats.
“Sahara, can you communicate with it?” Lion-O suddenly had an idea.
“I don’t know. I can try.” The litah said. Quickly she closed her eyes and focused all her special abilities on the giant lizard that now belched fire in their general direction. Calling out to the large animal, she tried to get through to it.
“I’m not having any luck. Something is blocking me. I…” she didn’t finish her sentence as the sudden immense pain in her temples made her scream and collapse to her knees. Tyler was the first one to her and pulled her into his arms.
“Sahara? Are you all right?” She didn’t answer his questions as her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Quickly the pumiger felt for a pulse and was relieved when he got a strong one.
“What’s wrong with her?” Lion-O quickly rushed to his daughter’s side.
“I don’t know.” Tyler voice was filled with concern. Then the ground nearby erupted into flames. The lizard was practically on their doorstep. From inside the Lair, the sounds of firing commands could be heard and once again a volley of missiles and lasers were launched.
“Everyone inside!” Lion-O commanded. Quickly the group fell back and rushed up the steps to the Lair’s main entrance.
“Nothing is working to stop this thing. Tygra, Cheetara, head for the library. Find any books we have on large creatures. Try to find a weakness for this thing. Everyone else head for the hanger. I want all guns firing on this thing.” The Lord of the ThunderCats hoped this would buy them some time.
“What are you going to do?” Cheetara asked, worried for the lion.
“Use the Sword.” He said flatly before dashing off outside.
