The next morning Angel was awaken by her communicator going off. "Cat's Lair to Angel, come in Angel." came Tygra's voice. The human stretched lazily as she reached for the communicator and frowned to see that dawn had just barely appeared. "You better have a good reason for waking me up so early!" "Good morning to you too." the tiger said curtly. "Morning Angel!" came Panthro's voice. "Hey Panthro, how's it hangin'?" In Cat's Lair Panthro grinned. "Straight up and ready for action as usual!" said the panther mischeviously, wondering if the woman would get his joke. Though Angel's peals of laughter let him know that she did indeed understand, Tygra's icy glare told him that not everyone appreciated his sense of humor. "The reason we called is because Link isn't at the Lair and we wondered if you had seen him." "No, I haven't seen hide nor hair of him since last night." There was a pause then she said, "But it's funny you should say something. I had a dream with his voice and that of another's last night. From the voices it sounded like Link was in trouble." The two Thundarians looked at each other for a bit, concern on their faces. "Ok Angel, thanks for the heads up. See you tonight. Cat's Lair out." Back in her hut, Angel rolled over and tried to go back to sleep, but it was impossible now. The fact that Link was missing coupled by her strange dream prompted her to get up and dress. She soon stepped outside into the chilly morning air and closed her eyes, her arms outstretched. "Ok Link, I'm opening up to you. Tell me where you are and how I can help you."

"Mari..." said a faint unfamiliar voice in the distance. The young ocelot was still fast a sleep enjoying a great dream where she was a empress and she was surrounded by all the hot guys in her harem. She tried to ignore the voice realizing that it was a voice that didn't belong in this dream. Nope, nope her brother surely did not belong in this dream at all. Suddenly Margay was woken up with a startle. She sat up straight in her bed, her eyes wide open. "WILL YOU WAKE UP ALREADY! THE CAT LAIR CALL US HOURS A GO!" roared Oce's voice in her perfect ears. to be continued when I get back!

Link had arrived in what looked to be the underground, huge open spaced caves surrounded him dimly lit by torch fires. As he turns to his left he see's the demon who had taken him. It was real... "Who the hell are you?" Link demands. Deimos looks down at him still holding onto his arm, he shows an evil grin on his face, one that proves nothin good was going to come out of this situation. "You know my name, so you know who i am...what i WANT with you is a different thing all together." Links face drained, he was in fear of this demon, which was strange...because he never feared anyone. "What do you want with me?" Link asks. "You will see soon enough...the Boss wishes to speak with you!" "The Boss?" "My old friend Lucifer, or would you know him as Satan?" Deimos grins devishly and continues to bring Link further into the Underworld, further into Hell. Az still concentrates trying to connect to Link...she reaches out among the astral plane sithing through all the stray thoughts, all the minds and all the persona's. "There you are..." She found him, his face.... "Link? Are you okay hun?" She dives into his mind then out into the area he was....she could see his surroundings, the darkly lit caves, the sweating heat... Then she heard the thought, just the one thought... "Oh goddess...Im in Hell...Im actually going to die....." Her eyes shoot open breaking concentration, she felt his fear...."Link..."

After seeing where Link was, she grabbed her communicator and called back Cat's Lair. "I've found Link and he's in trouble!" Angel told them. "What do you mean?" Panthro asked, his concern evident. "From what I saw, Link is in some sort of hellish other dimension. I'm not sure how we can get in there." "Tell us what you saw." Tygra asked, ignoring Panthro's anguished face. "We need all the information we can get." Angel told them all she had seen, describing everything as detailed as she could. Tygra frowned as he asked, "What makes you think it's another dimension? It sounds like several places here on Third Earth." "Because it had a distinct un-earthly quality about it." she answered. "'Un-earthly'?" Tygra asked and Angel could here the derision in his voice. "Yeah you ass!" she barked at him, "Un-earthly, as in not here on Third Earth, what part didn't you get?" Tygra ignored her sarcasm. "Ok, so you feel that it's not here on our planet, I believe you, but we will need you to come to Cat's Lair so we can see if you can contact him again. We're going to need more information if we are to help Link out." The human woman agreed haughtily then closed out her communicator before Tygra signed off. "Pompous ass!" she shouted to the air as she dressed. In less then ten minutes, she was ready and headed out the door.

"Y oua re soo annoying you know that!" Mari said as she glaired at her brother as she walked down the path to Cat's Laiyer. "I thought you said you didn't want to have anything to do with the thunder cats?" she asked in a more serious tone. "They need you do some reason..." Oce replied. He didn't seam very happy. "Why would they need me?" Oce frowned. He had an idea why they would want her concerning the situation but he hoped he was wrong. He really didn't want people knowing who their mother was and that Mari had inherited her abilities. He didn't want his mother finding out where Mari was. But just to spite his little sister for hitting him for waking her up this morning he simply replied, "I don't know... I don't find you all THAT special..." the two continued walking.

It had been a long hours walk through hell itself, and now he came face to face with the un-maker....Satan. Link gasp's at Satan's image. so devishly handsome yet so vulgar an frightning. Deimos drags him to Satans face becoming so close he could feels the Devils breath, hot and suffocating, he is pushed to his knees made to show his respect. "What do you want with me?" Link asks. The devil looks down upon him with his deep blue eues, no pupils did he have, just a pure blue space that looks as though u could dive into them and as if thwe blue never ended. "You my boy, he want you!" Deimos laughs "Your powers, your strength, all is of that of a strong soldier, a strong leader, and he wishes for you to be working for him!" "Never!" Suddenly Satan roars aloud, he hated being denied. "YOU, you will work beside me! Your power is that of evil, majik, witchcraft, all is that of evil! You are ment to be among me an my men!" "NO! I have my powers from my mother, SHE is not evil, therefor neither am i" Link yells back. Satan smacks him so hard with his tail that he slams into a near by wall knocking him out cold. "What now?" Deimos asks. Satan smirks evily "Now we wait...it wont be long until we break him"

Sorry for my delay peeps, been busy, but I finally got a post done. Yippee!!! It didn't take long for Angel to reach the Lair with her wings and as she touched down in the courtyard and willed her wings away, she thought about ways to save Link, but nothing was forth coming. She had no idea how reach him or even how to get where he was. She only hoped that maybe the Thundercats would have some kind of idea. Upon entering the building, she was met by Snarf who led her to the council chamber where all of the Thundercats had gathered to talk about Link's obvious disappearance. The worried looks on the Cats faces made Angel want to smirk in triumph, but the panther's radiating pain stiffled that thought. Though he didn't know it, his pain called out to her mentally and all she wanted to do was to comfort him. "We'll find him big guy, don't you worry." she said to him mind to mind. Panthro looked up and smiled slightly at her in thanks then bowed his head again in desperation. Tygra felt more then heard her words of comfort and was grateful. The resident mechanic was his friend and he hated to see him in pain so he understood how much Link's absence and possible danger was affecting him. At the head of the table, Lion-o waited until Angel was seated before calling the meeting to order. "All of you have been briefed on the peril of our friend Link so I don't need to explain why we are here. What I do need are plans for rescuing him. Any ideas?" Bengali stood up first. "Rwwl, if Link is indeed in another dimension as this woman says, then we need to find a way into that realm." Angel glared at the white tiger, not liking the way he had said 'this woman', as if she were a piece of garbage that he had to see and smell. And the fact that he doubted her didn't endear himself to her either. What was it with tigers and blind belief anyways?! "I don't know yet Bengali, that's why I called this meeting. I want everyone to put their heads together and think of ways we can find a way into this dimension." He then turned to Angel. "How did Link contact you in the first place?" "Um, I think it was an accident really. When I heard that he was gone, I called out to him mentally and I think he picked up on my mental vibes. It didn't seem as if he really knew I was there. It was just a basic broadcast of his that I picked up, like I was seeing through his eyes." "Do you think you could do that again?" he asked. "I can try." she said and stood up, closing her eyes and letting her mind wander. "Link, can you hear me? I am calling to you and want to help you. Your friends are here with me and they are worried about you. Link, please answer." She felt his presence and his fear, but she knew that he couldn't hear her, the she was barely a blimp on his mental radar. "I feel him, but he can't sense me. I'm just not strong enough mentally to gain his attention." she said sadly. Lion-o sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. Beside him Tygra was deep in thought. He too had mental abilities and an idea came to him. "Angel, if someone was to join with you mentally to give you a boost, do you think you might be able to reach him?" The woman glanced at him and thought about his suggestion. "It might, but I can't guarantee anything." Lion-o turned to his friend. "Tygra, do you think that is wise? You know how draining your mental abilities are on you." Tygra saw the hope in Panthro's face and replied, "I know Lion-o, but it's worth a try." The young lord nodded and watched with apprehension as the tiger approached the human woman. Tygra reached out and touched Angel's temple with his hand and had to hide a grin at the slight shiver he felt from her. "Now is not the time, my winged one. We must work together to reach Link." Angel nodded and closed her eyes again, her face pointed towards the ceiling while Tygra concentrated hard, wanting to give her as much of his mental self as possible. "Link," he heard her say in her mind, "please hear me. We are here to help you but we don't know how. What should we do?" In the realm he was caught in, Link heard the soft feminine voice and clamped onto it. "Angel? Oh thank the Goddess!" "Thank her later, right now we need to know how to help you." "You can't, not from there anyways. It will take the power of Three* to help me." "How?" she asked, confusion evident in her voice. "You and Tygra are the only ones with the mental power able to find and free me and the girl Mari is the only one who can get you over here and get all of us back. You must work together to accomplish this goal. I feel Tygra with you so you already have two thirds of the Three. You just need the girl. Find her, and hurry!" and with that he cut off the connection so as not to alert his demon captors. Back in the Lair, Tygra released Angel and slumped backwards. The woman was able to reach out and grab him before he fell to the floor. With the help of some of the others, she helped guide him to a chair so he could recover. "So, did you get all of that?" she asked. Tygra nodded weakly then asked her to tell the others what had happened. After the tale was told, Lion-o commanded that Mari and her brother Oce be found immediately. * LOL, yes, I'm stealing this idea from the Tv show Charmed. Great show btw. ;)

(you guys have room for Raven)

"Will you wait up! You walk too fast!" Oce called out as he ran after Mari. Mari stopped walking and turned in the direction that her brother was running. She sighed and put her hands on her his and tapped her foot impatiently waiting for her brother to catch up to her. "Hurry up slow poke!" she called out. She turned her head when she heard the humming sound of Wily Kat's space board. Her eyes went wide as he glided down low enough to be at her level, and then with a quick swoop he grabbed with his strong lean arm. "What the heck are you doing?!" she exclaimed as she caught her balance. "Are you trying kill me!?" Wily Kat wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her close to him. "Sorry about that. Lion-O requests your assistance right a way. It can't wait a moment longer," he replied. Mari blushed slightly. This was the closest she had ever been to guy, and the fact that his lips were merely inches away from her ear didn't help much either. The poor young sorcerer had completely tensed up. "Oh," was the only response Mari could get out. Meanwhile Oce was left behind with a confused and abandoned expression. "Oh and she gets an escort!" he muttered under his breath as he started walking. (note: forgot what wily kat and wily kit's boards were called... sorry too tired so wrote the first thing that came to mind.)

a few miles away a streak of light came barreling towards the unicorn forest, as it cleared the upper atmosphere the streak slowed down a bit and a out of control ship came into view. many of the unicorns scattered and the ship headed towards an open clearing at break neck speed, the pilot inside struggled to keep the nose of the small thunderian ship up as she decended. her arrival didn't go unnoticed, over at the tower of omens Lynx-o was in the control room," Pumyra," He called," we have a thunderian ship coming in way too fast..it's headed towards the unicorn forest". The puma was out on patrol in the thunderstike, "got it Lynx-o," she answered," I'll keep tracking it....I'm going to see if i can help the ship out". Pumyra headed to where the ship was coming in, her plan, intercept and try and put a grappling hook on to help slow it's decent. but by the time the puma reach the small thunderian ship it was too late, she watched as the ship hit the ground, like a flat rock across a smooth pond the ship skipped across the flat land a few times before it finally skidded across the ground straight in the small lake the unicorns use as a drinking spot. "Lynx-o, the ship has landed in the lake and is sinking fast," Pumyra said as she landed quickly. "hurry Pumyra.....the pilot is injured...you can gain entry through the front window," Lynx-o answered back. the puma dove into the lake, she followed the trail of bubbles to the downed ship. she swam to the front where the front windshield was shattered, she quickly made her way inside, through the murky water she seen someone strapped into the pilot seat. quickly unsnapping the harness she pulled the pilot free and headed to the surface. she broke the surface and pulled the pilot to shore Pumyra swept away the long ebony hair that obstructed the woman's face finally getting a good look at the pilot.the marking's, the high cheek bones, the strong nose and chin, marked her as from the lion clan, she checked the lioness's vitals, she found a faith heartbeat, but she wasn't breathing, Pumyra quickly administered CPR, with in minutes she was rewarded with coughing. "you're going to be fine," Pumyra reassured as she got out one of her portable stretchers. once she got the lioness on board the thunderstrike she headed back to the tower of omens, "on my way home Lynx-o, she alive but unconscious".

Wily Kat and Mari arrived at the Cat's Lair. "So what exactly is going on?" the young Ocelot asked. "Well, link got captured and placed into another dimension, and well we need you to help teleport Angel and Tigra into the dimension. Mari stopped walking for a moment. She had never done a teleportation spell of that kind before in her life. Her brother never allowed her to. Oce never told her why she wasn't allowed to do powerful spells like that, he just refused to let her do it. Wily Kat stopped walking when he realized that Mari wasn't following him anymore. She was frozen at the door. "What wrong? Aren't you coming?" he asked. "My brother..." Mari said. "Oh don't worry about. I'm sure he's alright and that he'll forgive you for ditching him..." Wily Kat replied. "No... you don't understand... I can't do it..." "Do what?" asked Wily Kat not quite catching what Mari was getting at. "the spell... I can't do it," Mari said. "My brother forbids it." A regretful expression came over her face. "What? But why? Angel and Tigra really need you to do this for them! It can't be done with out you!" Mari bowed her head. "You'll have them I'm sorry. I can not do it. Oce would never allow it.." Wily Kat frowned. No one's going to enjoy this news. He had to do something to get her reconsider her decision. "What's with you brother anyway? Why does he always have to restrict you from doing real high leveled Magic?" he asked his tone expression his frustration with this issue at hand. "He never told me... he just doesn't let me," was all the Mari could say. "He just doesn't let you! Link saved your life the other day. There has to be an exceptions to the rules sometimes!" Mari hand were balled up in tinny fist right now. Wily Cat was right, but she didn't know how her brother would react to her doing this. She didn't know what to say to Wily Kat's response. All she could say was. "I'm sorry..." "Come one now... you could do this quickly before Oce's gets here... and what he doesn't know wont hurt him right?" "huh...." Mari thought hard on this idea. It was true what Oce didn't know wouldn't hurt him, or would it? She sighed Heavily. Link was her friend. He saved her battle, she owed him this. So with out much more of a thought Mari looked Wily Kat in the eyes, and said. "Keep a watch out for my brother. When he comes, distract him for as long as you can... because he will be pissed if he finds out." and with that she made her way over to the meet room to see Lion-O and the others.

Pumyra arrived back at the tower of omens, lynx-o helped her take the unconscious lioness to the small med bay. "who do you think she is," Pumyra asked. "I don't know, but i can sense something about her," The lynx said, "Something dark". Pumyra looked down at the woman, "she don't look dangerous". "I'll go and alert the other's, i think you had better keep her sedated..just o be on the safe side, "Lynx-o said as he headed back to the control room.
