[Captn Cracka]

Scene 3.


"Boys, bag as a cat and bring me that stone"!! Cracker exclaimed as he reached the top of the mast.

Chains exploded out of the Jolly Rogers. Attached to the chains were Crackers crewmen whose are were set on Lion-O.

Lion-O quick reached for the for the Sword of Omens but was too-late. Crackers men had already reached the land. As he went to draw his sword one of the pirates swung by on the chain striking Lion-O in face causing him to turn. This is when another of Crackers men covered Lion-O in a sac and clasping his arms in with a metal restraint which locked him into the sac unable to move. Simultaneously, another of the men lifted Lion-O's gauntlet glove from his waist and riding the chain back to the ship.

Down the mountain, the rest of the Thundercats could only watch as their brother in arms, their leader Lion-O, was taken.

Once they had saw Crackers ship start to transform they all started their trek to the peak as fast as they could. Wily Kit and Wily Kat jumped onto their hoverboards trying to maneuver the rough terrain, but the natural obstacles slowed their journey and they could only watch as Lion-O was lifted into the ship.

As soon as the shadow of the ship covered Panthro's light, while he was under the thundertank doing its daily maintenance, he stuck is head out to see what was going on.

"By Thundera" Panthro said under his breath quickly sliding out from beneath the thundertank and leaping into the drivers seat.

"Let's GO, Panthro.!! Tygra yelled already in the thundertank whip in hand ready to pounce.

"Let's see what this baby can do!" Panthro replied as he pushed the acceleration throttle to full and tore up the mountain.

But even the thundertank proved not fast enough to reach the peak of the mountainous terrain before Lion-O was in the air being taken in.

The fastest of all the Thundercats, Cheetara, was the closest to reaching Lion-O. She raced on foot, quickly leaping from rock to rock with ease but she still was too slow compared to the quickness of Captain Cracker's men.

Cheetara reached the peak Lion-O was at fast enough to cause Captain Cracker concern.

"Aye, ye be a fast one, but not fast enough to catch Captain Crackerrrrr!!" Cracker yelled as the chain that was pulling Lion-O up quickly started to roll Lion-O up at in increased speed.

"Lion-O!!!" Cheetara yelled desperately as she watched Lion-O get pulled into the ship.

In the corner of his eye Captain Cracker could see a glimmering coming from the sky. Something was coming and it was coming fast on an intercept course with the Jolly Rogers.

Only seconds after seeing the the gleem, it was now in view and could be seen by not only Captain Cracker but the Thundercats as well.

It was a ship. A small ship. Only big enough for one person to be at the controls. As it come down into third earth's atmosphere it too started to transform from a interplanetary traveling vehicle to more of an earth bound vehicle.

The shield covering the pilot of the vehicle retracted to within the vehicle. The two thrusters that were located directly on the back, moved from the center out to the sides and moved down to the bottom of the new vehicle forming. The sides folded inside itself as the pilot's legs were brought down by moving parts of this highly advanced vehicle. The pilot could now be seen sitting straight up with their hands grasping the controls that moved from the center out to the sides and maneuvering the vehicle in between the Thundercats on the mountain and the pirate ship.

"Hold it right there, Cracker" the pilot exclaimed. "Your not going anywhere, put that citizen down right now" the pilot demanded.

"Ahhhhh, Mandoooora. It's about time ye got here. I wouldn't dream of havin you miss this!!" Cracker said.

The crewmen that had taken Lion-O's gauntlet glove and the Sword of Omens, swung passed Captain Cracker passing them off to him as he swung.

Cracker placed the sword in his belt and held the glove in front of him, removing the stone that was embedded within it.

Crackers chest opened. He took the stone and placed it in the built in harness. The chest plates closed and the power that the stone possessed could now be seen pulsating a green light throughout Captain Cracker's body.

"I got back what was taken from me long ago and will never be taken from me again"! Cracker said.

Cracker placed his hand on the mast of the ship and the energy that pulsed through him was now being fed to the ship. It too shared the green glow, as if Captain Cracker and the ship had become one.

"I can't say it's been fun ye laddie, but it will be fun knowing I gunna never be seein' ye again"!! Cracker yelled as panel after panel began to open on the ship.

Dozens had opened in a matter of seconds. Within the open panels slid out cannons. The only sound that could be heard was energy building up and within the noses of the cannons grew a great light.

"FIRE, ye scraps 'o space junk"! Cracker demanded.

Without a moments notice all the cannons fired simultaneously. All pointed at Mandora's vehicle and the Thundercats on the mountain. Cheetara,Snarf, Wiky Kit and Wily Kat all leapt to the thundertank for safety.

Madora's vehicle had a shield that was able to with stand only 3 cannon blasts before being noneffective and started taking direct hits.

Tygra, seeing the eminent demise of this space traveler, quick cracked his whip and it flew through the cannon fire wrapping around Mandora. He then pulled it back, pulling her off of her vehicle and rolling her back to the thundertank.

But things were not looking to good for Mandora or the Thundercats. They were in the safety of the thundertank but the cannon fire pummeled the mountain that they were on and the ground gave out. The thundertank along with hundreds of thousands of tons of rock began to plummet towards the bottom of the canyon, bouncing and flipping off mountainous landscape and being hit by boulders as they fell.

Looking down at the destruction and chaos that he had brought upon this planet within only a matter of minutes, Captain Cracker had a pleased look on his face as he said with joy, "Boys, Tis our hour to have us some fun"!

As Cracker laughed, the ship still pulsing with energy began to disappear in the sky. The new energy allowed the ship to cloak itself from view. Even the massive size of the ship was no problem for the newly acquired energy to hide the Jolly Rogers.

Before the ship was totally transparent, Captain Cracker looked down to see Mandora's vehicle destroyed and smoking covered in the rubble and the thundertank upside down with boulders crushing parts entirely.

"The Captain's back" Cracker said with a smirk on his robotic metal face as he disappeared into the clear skies of third earth.
