Schwenk’s revenge Chapter 5 Schwenk’s Revenge
Chapter 5
By Leanna
Schwenk slowly and painfully got to his feet, “now that wasn’t called for,” he hissed trying to ignore the dull ache that now resided in his lower regions.
“No….I don’t know what’s gotten into you Panthro…but this isn’t you,” Myra said holding her staff. If the big cat so much as blinked the wrong way she would use what ever force she felt necessary to stop him.
Schwenk just looked at her and smirked,” What? ...I can’t admire a beautiful woman….is it against the ThunderCat code?”
“I think you better go back to work now,” Myra said somewhat shaken.
The panther looked at her and emitted a low growl as he walked passed her, as soon as he was out she locked the control room door and ran to the comms, “Tygra,” Myra said trying to keep her voice calm, “ you have to come home now”.
“Myra….What’s wrong?” Tygra asked sensing something was wrong.
“I’ll explain once you get home, Please…..Hurry”.
***************
Schwenk was already bored, he needed find something to entertain himself, he could have gone down to the hanger and messed with all the equipment and vehicles down there, but that was too easy. He wanted a challenge, he walked down the long hallway and peered into the first door he came across and found himself inside a gym,” So you guys work to have bodies like this, and here I though all that muscle came naturally”. He walked over to a weight bench and looked at the rows of heavy weights, “hmmm. Wonder how strong this body really is,” he thought to himself and started loading some of the weights onto a thick steel bar.
**************
Once Tygra and Lion-O reached the hanger, they quickly ran up to the control room to find Myra. Tygra was surprised when he found the door bolted shut,” Myra, “he called on the comms, “Open the door”.
The door quietly slid open, “Myra?” Tygra said looking around the room as he and the lion went inside.
“Tygra!” Myra half shouted throwing herself into the tigers waiting arms.
“Myra….what’s wrong? What happened?” he asked feeling her slightly tremble.
The tigress quickly explained what happened with Panthro. “WHAT!” Tygra replied shocked. Then the normally calm tigers expression changed, his eyes narrowed and his brow furrowed, without a word he whipped around and stormed out the control room door with the tigress and lion on his heals.
“Tygra, Wait!” Lion-O called catching up with him, “now think about this before you act, you know yourself Panthro wouldn’t do something like that”.
“Are you calling Myra a liar? “ Tygra snapped.
“No, of course not…I’m just saying this isn’t like Panthro,” Lion-O nodded.
“That’s what so strange,” Myra agreed, “but it happened”.
“Well, I’m getting to the bottom of it, “Tygra growled and went to find the panther.

“What are you doing?” Leanna asked from the doorway of the gym.
“What does it look like I’m doing,” Schwenk snorted. “Not very bright are you?”
“Neither are you…your going to injury yourself,” The lioness said walking in.
“Not my body, so I really don’t care,” Schwenk shrugged and lay back on the bench and took the heavy bar that was weighted down with weights and lifted it off the hooks.
“Well it’s my mate’s body and he takes excellent care of it and he also doesn’t do stupid things like lift weights without a weight belt on,” Leanna said putting her hands on the bar as Schwenk held it over his head.
“Wha…What are you doing,” he asked as she leaned her weight on the already heavy weights.
The lioness just smirked and pushed down. “Are you crazy?” Schwenk groaned as he felt the muscles in his lower back pro-*test*-('").
She looked at him and gave him an evil grin, “YOU!” Tygra snapped suddenly appearing in the doorway. Leanna’s head shot up” Me?” she asked confused.
“No…not you….HIM,” Tygra growled pointing to the panther.
The lioness looked down and gave Schwenk a “what did you do?” look, Leanna quickly helped him place the weights back on the hooks, “what do you want Tygra?” Schwenk snorted and sat up.
The tiger glanced at the lioness, “Leanna…I wish to speak to your mate alone”.
“No…what ever you have to say to him you can say in front of me,” Leanna nodded
“You and I have been friends for many years Panthro…how could you do this?” Tygra fumed quietly.
“I have no idea what you’re going on about,” Schwenk said and stood
“Myra told me what happened when you came into the control room,” The tiger said glancing at Leanna.
The lioness had sinking feeling, “Tygra….what happened?”
“I was only joking around,” Schwenk said quickly.
“Well she didn’t take it as a joke,” Tygra scowled.
“Calm your stripes,” Schwenk snorted then gave the lioness a warning glance.
Lion-O stood back beside Myra and just watched, something nagged at him in the back of his mind, this whole situation didn’t seem right.
“I’m sure it was just all an innocent misunderstanding,” Leanna said trying to defuse the situation.
Tygra gave her “you have to be kidding me look”.
“Ok...what’s really going on?” Lion-O asked, he knew something was not right.
Leanna looked at the ThunderCat lord wanting to tell him, but she knew if she did, Schwenk would carry out his threat, “nothing,” She said quietly.
Lion-O walked closer, “look me in the eye and say that Leanna,” he said stopping in front of her.
The lioness looked up at the lion and looked into his amber eyes, she couldn’t lie to him even if she tried, she knew her mate would want her to tell them what was going on, “I…..It’s not Panthro…Schwenk has taken over his body,” Leanna explained quickly.
Lion-O looked over at the panther, now it all made sense, Tygra moved to grabbed Schwenk, “back off stripes,” Schwenk growled and punched the tiger in the face and bolted for the door
“STOP HIM!” Leanna shouted and took chase.
“Whoa there Lea,” Myra said grabbing the lioness’s arm.
“Myra...you don’t understand…he’s going to kill him” Leanna said pulling away and once again ran after Schwenk.
“Leanna,” Lion-O said catching up to the woman, “what do you mean”
“Schwenk is going to hurl Panthro’s off the cat’s head,” Leanna said panicking.
“Great Jaga,” Lion-O replied, “come on Tygra”.
The two men ran as fast as their legs could go, by the time the two had reached the stair case to the outer door of the cat’s head. Schwenk had made it to the door. The two ThunderCats took the stairs three at a time. By the time they reached the door, Schwenk stood at the edge of the cat’s mouth. “Not one step further or blue man goes splat,” Schwenk smirked and glanced over his shoulder, “it’s a very long way down…I can’t die…but he can”.
“You don’t want to do this Schwenk,” Lion-O said taking a step closer. “You’ll make very powerful enemies if any harm comes to that panther”.
“Oh? Like you,” he laughed.
“Us, plus a few thousand lion and panther clansmen,” The lion nodded taking another step.
“Enough of this,” Schwenk said and stood on the ledge and held his arms out from his sides like a diver getting ready to do a back flip.
“NOOO!” Leanna screamed.
“Stay back, Lea,” Lion-O warned, “don’t give him a reason to jump”.
“Myra, take her out of here,” Tygra nodded, “we’ll handle this”.
“Come Lea, they won’t let anything happen to Panthro,” the tigress said softly, “Panthro, wouldn’t want you to be stressed...it’s not good for the cubs”.
The lioness looked at Schwenk,” Any harm comes to my mate and so help me…I will make the last time I killed you seem like a tiny scratch” She hissed.
“Love that fire,” Schwenk smirked and leaned back, “Time to go,” he winked and allowed the panther’s body to fall backwards.
It was the lioness’s scream that woke Panthro, he opened his eyes in time to see the mouth of the cat’s head suddenly getting further away, and that’s when he realized he was falling. Both Tygra and Lion-O jumped into action, Tygra wrapped the end of his whip around the bottom metal fang and jumped after the panther, Lion-O quickly thrust his hand into the claw shield and embedded one of the claws into the metal and jumped off the end.
“come on,” Leanna shouted dragging Myra towards the stair case, as the two women ran down to the main entrance, Tygra had grabbed Panthro’s ankle, “got you” Tygra nodded holding on tight. “Me too,” Lion-O said as he grabbed Panthro’s’ arm.
“Get ready to stop,” Tygra said as he slowed their decent by controlling the feed of his whip.
By the time the three came to a stop and were safely on the ground, but Myra and Leanna has come out of the front entrance and were running down the steps.
“You ok, Panthro?” Lion-O asked giving the claw shield a quick tug releasing the embedded claw from above.
“Yeah…think so,” Panthro said confused, “Do I want to know how the hell I got up there and in this dilemma?”
“Apparently, Schwenk took over your body,” Tygra nodded freeing his whip.
“Son of a bitc,” Panthro growled but was cut off as the lioness launched herself at him, her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs around his waist, nearly knocking him off his feet. “It’s ok love…I’m alright,” He said wrapping his arms around her, feeling her whole body shake. She didn’t answer she just clung to him tighter and buried her face into his shoulder.
“You scared the living crap out of us,” Myra said breathless, “I nearly had a heart attack”.
“I don’t remember a thing,” Panthro said, “Lea, honey…your crushing me,” he wheezed putting his hand on her arms trying to get her to let go.
The lioness released her leg and stood, “I’m sorry ...I was so scared, “she sobbed against his chest.
“I know...but I’m ok,” Panthro smiled and stroked her long ebony hair.
“I don’t like this, “Lion-O said scratching his chin, “If Schwenk can take over Panthro’s body. That means he’s capable of taking over any of us”.
“Maybe he won’t show up for a while, “Tygra nodded, “he’s proved his point…he wants to terrorize us first...he’s going to make us wait before he shows himself again”.
