Bad news. The entire village is surrounded.

How many troops?

If I had to guess, I'd say all of them.

Considering how hopelessly outnumbered we are...

maybe you guys could lend us a hand.

As always, we will seek to understand our role through meditation.

I'll take that as a no.

I wonder what's keeping them.

- Keeping who? - Lion-O and Tygra, remember?

Ah. Yes, of course.

They went after the Spirit Stone, didn't they?

I bet something went wrong.

I do sense a dark presence within.

But on the Astral Plane they will face an even greater challenge.

- What's that? - Themselves.

By evening bell tomorrow, Lion-O will feel betrayed by his brother.

This place gives me the creeps.

Let's just find the Stone and get out.

We've already searched everywhere.

The elephants always say, "If you can't see something...

it's because you're not looking at the big picture."

Ah. That means it's probably right under our noses.

If I find it first, I'm keeping this one.

The Stone is my responsibility, Tygra.

It hasn't chosen you yet.

Something tells me it will.

Embrace your jealousy, your greed, your fears.

For in this world, I can make your darkest thoughts as real as flesh.

Here, you are nothing more than my puppets.

And when you destroy each other, both Stones will be mine.

Look at Grune the Snaggletooth just sitting out there.

I bet he's scared.

Ever hear how he lost his tooth?

It was during the lizard war.

Grune and I busted out of a prison camp and were on the run.

With no food, no weapons, and an army after us, we hid in a cave.

Turned out it wasn't empty.

It was Spidera's nest.

Spidera?

I thought Spidera was just a myth.

So did we.

Next thing we knew that beast had us backed into a corner...

fangs dripping with venom.

What did you do?

Me?

Once she had me in her web, I prepared for the end.

But Grune, he ripped out his own sabertooth.

Ew. Why?

Because he knew that beast had only one weak spot.

Grune used his tooth and jammed it right into that monster.

Afterwards, Grune said something I never forgot.

"Any sacrifice is worth the defeat of your enemy."

You really think he's scared?

Face it. You've always been jealous of what I have.

I just think people should only be given what they earn.

You haven't changed since we were kids.

Come on. Keep up.

It's just up ahead. Follow me.

It can't be.

It's us. As kittens.

Huh!

It looks like a memory.

You're right. And it's a bad one.

Our trip to the forbidden ruins. I remember it like it was yesterday.

- Wait for me, Tygra. - Sure you wanna keep going?

Legend says no one who visits the ruins is ever heard from again.

I'm not scared. I'm the heir to the Kingdom Of Thundera.

If something did happen to you, no one would ever know.

Come on. I dare you to cross this log, scaredy king.

This isn't helping us find the Stone. Let's go.

Wait. If we're seeing this, it's for a reason.

We know what happened. The branch broke. You fell in.

End of story.

Quit it.

Come on, prince-heir.

I thought you lions were supposed to be brave.

Aah. Aah!

I always thought the branch snapped by itself, but it didn't, did it?

You broke it.

Why do we continue to wait when we could crush them in a breath?

Don't tell me you're concerned about those senile pachyderms.

Of course not. The elephants never fight.

Then why?

Mumm-Ra's orders.

If we attack now, we risk destroying the portal to the Astral Plane...

trapping him inside forever.

Tell me, Slithe, would that really be such a bad thing?

Mumm-Ra is our master.

He controls the largest army on Third Earth...

and wields more power than you could even dream of.

You would dare betray him?

You know, Grune, for a cat, you're quite the snake.

Tygra, help!

Don't leave. Don't leave me.

How could you? Your own brother.

I thought I'd get in trouble with father. I was scared.

You were always against me, Tygra. Because you could never have this.

It should have been mine.

Maybe in this world, it can be.

Then let's settle this once and for all.

This is the true Sword of Omens.

It can't be beaten. But you can.

It's time.

So are you gonna help us or wait for that army to roll over your village?

We were supposed to meditate on that, weren't we?

Completely slipped our mind. Come, Aburn. Let's get right to that.

Of all the slow, dumb...

We can't stop an army that size.

No, but I've got a few surprises that'll slow them down.

A pitiable defense.

Thundera fell in a day.

This will only take moments.

Take the hut. The cats are mine.

No one gets near that hut.

Come on, you old sabertooth, show yourself.

About time you showed up.

This is meant to be a battle between cats, not machines.

Then the odds are in my favor.

To the death then, old friend?

Yeah, yours.

Aah, aah... Whew.

Anet warned me you'd betray me. He said it was inevitable. Aah!

You've undermined me my whole life. Blocked me at every turn. Uhn!

You took the crown. You took her. Uhn!

Tygra, help me.

Help me.

Tygra.

Whatever we are to each other, brothers or rivals...

we called the same cat "Father." We're both sons of Claudus.

Father.

He was there too.

It's true, Lion-O, I thought about leaving you there.

But I instantly regretted it. I ran, but it was to find help.

Lion-O. He's in the ruins.

Have to save him.

My fault.

Aah!

I would never betray you.

Not then. Not now.

It's this place.

It's making our worst memories and desires real.

But someone is guiding this.

I'll give you one guess.

Mumm-Ra.

Such spirited sibling rivalry.

Ancient spirits of evil...

transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.

Since I couldn't get you two to kill each other, I'll just have to do it myself.

Huh.

Get out of here. I'll try to hold them off as long as possible.

No way. I'm defending this hut till the end.

Huh?

Thought you were gonna meditate.

We did. And this was the answer that came to us.

You just woke a village of sleeping giants.

Thundercats, ho!

The elephants? The elephants never fight.

Only rarely. But when we do, we fight to win.

Huh?

What do you say we settle this with our fists?

With you two out of way...

there will be nothing to stop me from finding the Spirit Stone.

You're too late, I already found it.

What?

It's been right under our noses the whole time.

Now let's see what the Spirit Stone can do.

Thunder, thunder, thunder, Thundercats, ho!

What's happening?

Without the Stone to hold it together...

the entire Astral Plane is collapsing.

Then let's get out of here.

Take cover!

Pull me free, Panthro. Pull me free or we both die.

Defeat of your enemy is worth any sacrifice.

Worth it.

- Ahh. - I don't need a blasted nursemaid.

- How you holding up? - Know what I'll miss the most?

The scars. Lot of history on those arms.

You're gonna be okay. Get some rest.

Ahh.

Few could have faced what you did and come out victorious, Lion-O.

You did well.

You know, you said I'd be betrayed before the evening bell.

I thought your visions were never wrong.

Did the evening bell ring already?

I don't remember hearing it.

Of course you don't.

I heard about what you and Lion-O went through in there.

I feel I've contributed to it by not being clearer with my feelings.

No. It's pretty clear you made your choice.

You're right. I did choose. Years ago.

During those days when I was tested by Jaga, I came close to giving up.

And then I found your gift.

Of all the flowers, you picked the Day Astrid.

Each petal is said to have trapped a day of life within it.

It gave me the strength to endure.

To make it one more day.

This is the heart of that very same flower.

I've kept it all these years in memory of your kindness.

Which reminds me, I never had a chance to thank you.
