ThunderCats

When Mumm-Ra the ever-living was consumed by the eruption...

of Fire Rock Mountain, Third Earth looked forward to an age of peace.

Mumm-Ra.

But Mumm-Ra did not perish.

He survived to plot the release of the most fearsome...

of all the Thundercats' opponents to date:

The Lunataks of Plun-Darr.

Stay with us all week as the Thundercats fight for their very existence...

in this special five-part adventure.

Here's to Third Earth, and to peace at last.

Peace, huh? That's going to take some getting used to.

I'm not sure I believe things will be that easy.

I don't know how I'm going to handle being an unemployed warrior.

Keeping the peace can be as difficult as winning it.

I suppose there's always fire drill and routine maintenance.

And mutants, Cheetara. We can count on them to make trouble.

We could teach our Thundercat technology to all our friends.

And turn this whole planet into a model of peace and prosperity.

All right. That's the way to look at it.

We'll throw a great feast and invite all our friends to meet...

Pumyra, Bengali...

and Lynx-O, the new Thundercats.

- How about that? - Sounds good to me.

I'll work up a menu and go over to the Berbil Village for provisions.

Sounds like we'll have our hands full even with Mumm-Ra gone.

Mumm-Ra.

- Cheetara. - Mumm-Ra.

- Are you okay? - What is it, Cheetara?

I'm not sure. I guess I just can't believe...

that Mumm-Ra's finished, once and for all.

! know just how Cheetara feels.

Mumm-Ra really gone?

I can hardly believe it myself.

Can you be sure he has gone, Lion-O?

Jaga! What do you mean?

How could Mumm-Ra have possibly survived?

The Star of Thundera tore Fire Rock Mountain apart...

and destroyed Mumm-Ra along with it.

There's no way he could have survived.

The forces of evil can never be entirely destroyed, Lion-O.

Only held in check by those with strength and courage.

With an evil power as great as Mumm-Ra's...

who can say that he is gone forever?

Jaga. Wait.

It's just not possible.

Mumm-Ra could not have survived.

Ma-Mutt.

My faithful Ma-Mutt.

I am weak.

Take me...

to my pyramid.

I have survived, Ma-Mutt...

because I am Mumm-Ra...

the ever-living.

But I am weak and powerless.

So while I regain my strength...

you must take my place.

You must become Mumm-Ra.

A bit transparent, but you'll have to do.

Certainly you should fool the mutants.

Listen carefully to my instructions...

Ma-Mutt.

And I'll take 12 bushels of those mushrooms with the fat, juicy stems.

Mushrooms.

- What are those? - No.

PowPow Peppers. They're very hot.

What is that?

- Ma-Mutt? - He's in an awful hurry, Snarf.

And I'll bet that he's headed for Castle Plun-Darr.

Sit tight, Ro-Bear-Bill. I'll be back.

Mumm-Ra.

- But, but, but...! - It's impossible.

You're alive.

Fools.

Did you think Mumm-Ra...

the ever-living, could perish?

About two degrees to the right should do it.

Not even the Thundercats...

will be able to resist the Lunataks...

of Plun-Darr.

Mumm-Ra?

Lunataks?

They're here?

Alive?

They're here...

but hardly alive.

You see, long before you mutants arrived here...

the Lunataks tried to overthrow me.

A fatal error of judgment.

You destroyed the Lunataks?

To destroy them...

would have been too easy a punishment.

No, mutants.

I encased them...

in molten lava.

You will now release them.

No, Mumm-Ra.

We will do anything you command...

but we cannot release the Lunataks of Plun-Darr.

Let them stay encased in molten lava forever.

They're too vicious even for my liking.

Exactly, Jackalman.

Vicious enough to take care of the Thundercats forever.

Yes, but the Lunataks cannot be controlled, Mumm-Ra.

Nonsense, Slithe.

I have already defeated and entombed them once...

and I will do it again...

after they have crushed the Thundercats.

But... But where are the Lunataks now, Mumm-Ra?

On Dark Side.

The forbidden territories?

Even if we find them, Mumm-Ra...

how do we free them?

That, Vultureman...

is up to you.

You are the technician, after all.

Ma-Mutt. But I heard Mumm-Ra in there.

Well, Mumm-Ra is right about one thing, yes.

If anyone can wipe out the Thundercats...

it's those crazy Lunataks.

What was that?

I'm out of here.

Over there.

It's that wretched Snarf.

He must have overheard us.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Get him before he warns the Thundercats, yes.

You mean Snarf just took off after Ma-Mutt?

I couldn't stop him, Lion-O.

When was this?

The danger signal.

Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight.
