Summary[]
While making preparations to travel to New Thundera to rescue the Snarfs enslaved by Mumm-Ra, the ThunderCats are shocked to learn about the dangerous new geographical and climatic regions that the planet has developed.
Story[]
The ThunderCats arrive in the ThunderTank to rescue Lynx-O, WilyKit, and WilyKat from the Lunataks’ clutches. One blast from the Sword of Omens destroys the Luna Tacker, freeing the three ThunderCats and sending Red Eye and Tug-Mug fleeing.
Inside Sky-Tomb, the Luna does not appreciate Vultureman blaming the Lunataks for their plan’s failure and has him thrown out of their fortress. The Mutant, having overheard the ThunderCats’ plan to pursue Mumm-Ra to New Thundera, decides to throw a wrench in the Cats’ mission and hopefully get in Mumm-Ra’s good books. He immediately heads to Castle Plun-Darr and begins working on the damaged RatStar, much to the bewilderment of the other Mutants.
From the information obtained by the Braille Board, the ThunderCats learn that areas of New Thundera are under the direct influence of the Moons of Plun-Darr, giving them the same characteristics as the individual moons. The ThunderCats decide to make new equipment such as Night Vision Goggles, Anti-Gravity Boots and Thermal Suits in order to be able to survive and explore these treacherous areas.
With the Feliner’s booster rockets completed, the ThunderCats take off for New Thundera but encounter Vultureman and Slithe in the RatStar. The Mutants fire at the Feliner, paralyzing all the ThunderCats inside. WilyKit, watching the scene unfold from the Lair’s control room, alerts Bengali and the two take off in the ThunderClaw to help. Snarf manages to place the Sword of Omens in Lion-O’s hand and he uses it to break free from the static state and frees the others as well. Seeing that the Feliner has broken free, Vultureman prepares to again fire the Varicannon at them but is interrupted by the arrival of Bengali and WilyKit, who attack and hold the RatStar’s attention long enough for the Feliner to regain its bearings. Now fully recovered, Lion-O turns the sword on the RatStar, blasting the vehicle and sending it crashing on to Hook Mountain. Amidst relief at their escape as the Feliner exits the atmosphere, the Cats receive a transmission from Lynx-O who informs them that the increased volcanic activity on New Thundera indicates that Mumm-Ra has most likely obtained the Sword of Plun-Darr.
