I thought he'd be smaller.

I thought he'd be less spikey.

Go on, Lord of the Thundercats...

see if your loyal subject needs help fixing his tank.

That is, unless you're scared.

Hey, Panthro.

Go away. Can't you see I'm busy?

Oh, come on. You're really just gonna ignore us forever?

What are you so grumpy about, anyway?

You're standing on my samophlange.

Ah! Sorry.

Look, you know, maybe I can help. I've dabbled in a little tech myself.

The Thundertank's out of Thundrillium.

Now I've gotta risk my hide to get more at the Cloud Peak mine.

If you're going after Thundrillium, we're coming with you.

Let me put this as respectfully as I can.

No.

I am the king now, general.

Fine. If you slow me down or get in my way, you're on your own.

Any questions?

What's a samophlange?

Thundrillium, the lifeblood of Mumm-Ra's army.

And it is under my control.

Section 4 completed.

Awaiting your next command, General Grune.

Bore deeper and let nothing stand in your path, Driller.

Wait for us here. We'll be back before dark.

If we don't all die first.

You sure have a motley crew on your hands, kid.

It's a miracle you survived this long without any adult supervision.

We've been doing just fine under my command.

If you want to stay alive, you're gonna have to listen to me.

I'm the king now, Panthro.

Could have fooled me. Your father, now he was a leader.

The king fought to his last breath trying to save Thundera.

In the end, Grune's betrayal was too much to overcome.

Grune.

We'd been inseparable ever since that first day we met on the battlefield.

Fire.

Finally, another cat who pulls his weight around here.

Name's Panthro.

Grune.

I don't know about you, but grunt work wasn't what I had in mind when I enlisted.

Just gotta prove yourself. Rise through the ranks.

I don't have the patience for that.

Look at us, Panthro. Soon we'll run this entire kingdom.

Ha-ha-ha. You plan on becoming a lion?

No.

I plan on becoming king.

If you wanna make it to general, you'll have to do better than that.

Ha-ha-ha. I'm 11 lizards ahead of you, captain.

Ha, ha. Make that nine.

Don't hold back, Tygra.

You're stronger. Faster.

Use your advantages.

Excellent. Now continue your training. And remember:

What you cannot earn can always be taken.

My two finest warriors.

I know what you're waiting to hear.

I've chosen Lynx-O to be the general of the army.

Lynx-O has less experience than either of us.

That's why I'm keeping you together for a much more important task:

The Book of Omens.

I believe it's more than a legend...

and if anyone can find it, it's you two.

I hope you understand.

Our role is not to question, Your Highness.

That's the access tunnel we need to get to.

Doesn't look too heavily guarded.

I say we take them now.

We'll wait for darkness.

Who's in charge here?

Guess old Panthro underestimated the Lord of the Thundercats.

Whiskers.

Drop your weapons.

Please?

Kill him.

What is wrong with you?

Me? I gave an order. You ignored it.

He is the king now, Panthro.

So that means I've gotta listen to any idiotic order he gives me?

I guess all the stories of your undying loyalty were exaggerated.

You'll have my loyalty...

when you show me you can do more with that sword than just carry it around.

Come on, let's find the Thundrillium and get out of here.

Thundrillium.

Enough to power a thousand Thundertanks for a thousand years.

Grune.

See, this isn't so bad.

You're already a legend.

Legend? If we return with the book, we'll be greeted as gods.

This is a waste of time.

We're out here chasing a myth.

We're out here in service to our king.

Our role is not to question his orders, but to...

Don't be a fool, Panthro. Claudus knows there's no book.

He feared my ambition.

This impossible quest is to rid me from his kingdom.

That's crazy. Grune, listen to yourself.

Come to me.

The power you seek awaits you.

What? Who said that?

No one said anything. You okay?

Come.

There.

I hear it again.

Come to me.

Where are you taking us?

We've been walking for days. We need to turn back or we'll die.

We're here.

We're where?

We move on my lead.

Got it?

Huh?

Thundercats?

Ha, ha. Fools, you brought the sword right to me...

and now you'll never make it out of here alive.

They will.

I just can't say the same for you.

You've always been hard to kill, Panthro.

I can be stubborn when it comes to dying.

- This isn't gonna go well, is it? - Nope.

Now let's see, when was the last time I saw you?

Come to me.

He's waiting for us inside.

Who's waiting? What's going on?

How did you do that?

Closer. Closer.

Grune, wait.

Open it.

Open it and I will grant you the limitless power you desire.

The power you deserve.

We shouldn't be here.

Can't you hear it?

Release me!

Mumm-Ra.

It can't be.

Your loyalty will be rewarded.

Something was taken from me long ago...

and you're going to help me get it back.

The Sword of Omens.

Join us, Panthro.

Together, we can rule all of Thundera.

What has he done to you?

He's promised me the means to do what I've always dreamed of.

I can't let you do this.

I am your friend.

You are my enemy.

Ah, we sure have some great memories together.

You betrayed me, Grune. You betrayed your brothers.

All those deaths, and you're still not the king.

Don't lecture me, Panthro.

If it's revenge you seek, then come take it.

With pleasure.

What is that?

The only thing you can trust: a machine.

Destroy them, Driller.

Ha-ha-ha. Until next time, Panthro.

Grune.

Thunder. Thunder.

Thundercats, ho!

Now, that's what I call impressive.

The driller weakened the mine.

We need to go, now.

Not without this stuff.

Well, that'll slow down Mumm-Ra's army for a while.

I guess your father's sword wound up in the right hands after all.

I served him proudly and you can expect the same.

So you think when we get the Thundertank fixed, I could drive it?

Not a chance, my king.
