ThunderCats

When Lynx-O's braille board tells him that the planet Thundera is reforming...

he also discovers that Mumm-Ra has built a new pyramid there.

When Lion-O and Panthro...

try to find Mumm-Ra in his original pyramid...

they fall into a deadly trap.

Stay with us all week...

as the Thundercats fight for the very existence...

of Third Earth and Thundera...

in this special five-part adventure.

Ma-Mutt, come join me for a history lesson.

Let us examine the past...

a time before those wretched Thundercats...

came to Third Earth.

A time before the destruction of Thundera...

when Jaga was in his prime...

and the miserable Lion-O was just a cub.

It is mine!

At last I have found it!

The Treasure of Thundera!

This casket contains the Thundercats' every secret.

Now I, Ratilla the Terrible, will rule Thundera.

The flames of the Sword of Plun-Darr warn me of danger!

- Jaga! - Lay down your sword, Ratilla.

The Treasure of Thundera cannot be yours!

Never!

Sword of Omens, do not fail me now!

Stand back, Ratilla!

You better finish me now, Jaga, because if you don't...

will surely return to destroy you and all Thundera.

I will have my revenge!

The Code of Thundera does not permit me to "finish you," Ratilla.

You will spend the rest of your days in exile...

and as for the Sword of Plun-Darr, you will never see it again!

I will seal it in the rocks of the deepest canyons of Thundera!

Not even the Sword of Plun-Darr will escape a tomb of molten rock!

So for many years, Ma-Mutt...

the Sword of Plun-Darr remained trapped...

deep in the molten core of the planet Thundera...

but its power could not be subdued.

Look!

Yes, Ma-Mutt, it was the Sword of Plun-Darr...

that caused the calamity which brought those despicable Thundercats...

to Third Earth.

For, as it fought to escape its stone tomb...

that sword destroyed Thundera!

We must salvage the Sword of Plun-Darr, Ma-Mutt.

We must find the Treasure Of Thundera.

For then...

we will possess the secrets of the Thundercats...

and we will have the power to remove them...

from Third Earth forever!

Come, Ma-Mutt.

W will travel through time and space.

We will explore the debris of Thundera.

We will find that treasure.

And we will retrieve...

the Sword of Plun-Darr!

What is it, Lynx-O?

I don't know, Lion-O, but something strange is happening in deep space.

Gee, Lynx-O, there's always something strange happening in deep space.

This is no laughing matter, Snarfer.

The signals are coming from Thundera.

Thundera! Our home planet.

But it was totally destroyed.

How could any signals come from Thundera?

I just don't know, Lion-OO...

but it's almost as though parts of the planet were reforming.

Let's get a second opinion. I'll call Panthro.

It looks bad, Thundercats.

Those light clusters are the remaining fragments of Thundera.

This shows that the fragments are concentrating in one area.

It sounds impossible...

but it's almost as though Thundera is reforming.

That's exactly what Lynx-O said.

Boy, that Lynx-O may be blind, but he sure is smart!

Why shouldn't he be smart just because he's blind?

Hey, I didn't mean it like that.

Maybe you should be more careful what you say, Wilykat.

Now this is a full 48 hours later.

That area is about half the size of the original planet.

Who knows whether it's livable...

but it sure is a solid chunk of real estate.

Is it possible that anyone on Thundera...

could have survived when the planet exploded?

I mean, some of those fragments must have been pretty big...

and if the planet is reforming...

maybe there are some Thunderians up there who need our help.

The situation's worse than that, Cheetara.

Watch!

A pyramid!

Just like Mumm-Ra's!

It can't be!

Well, if Mumm-Ra's up there, he can't be down here, right?

Right! Panthro, you and I will check out Mumm-Ra's pyramid...

and find out if he really has gone.

Tygra, you and Snarf keep monitoring Thundera.

We'll figure this out somehow.

Thundercats.

Ho!

This is very strange.

I have the strongest feeling that Mumm-Ra isn't here.

You're right.

Look!

Maybe we're wrong...

but it Mumm-Ra is here, I've got a nice little wake-up call for him.

The sarcophagus is empty. He's not here!

Maybe I am and maybe I'm not...

Thundercats!

Look out!

Lion-O! Help me!

Hold on, Panthro!

Hang tough, Lion-O, I'll be with you!

Mumm-Ra!

- Count of three! - One!

- Two! - Three!

We're coming for you, Mumm-Ra, you worthless bundle of bones!

Panthro! Wait!

So good of you to visit me, Panthro.

We don"t see enough of each other.

You don't get away that easily. You miserable mummy!

No! Don't do it!

Panthro!

Lion-O! Are you all right?

Welcome, Thundercats.

Welcome to your watery grave!

We're trapped!

If we don't get out of here, we'll drown!

We're trapped!
