Thundercats (2011) s01e07 Episode Script
Legacy
Thundercats - S01E07 Legacy Original air date September 2, 2011 All those years we believed the Book of Omens was magic, but maybe it's technology.
Which means if I want to read this I need to power it up.
[meows.]
Relax.
I not gonna break the Book of Omens.
I think Aah! [yowls.]
You have entered a strange realm, Lion-O.
The book is neither magic nor technology, but rather, a fusion of both.
Jaga.
You're alive! The rules of life, death, and reality itself are different within the book, Lion-O.
Can it tell me what Mumm-Ra's after, and how to stop him? The answers lie in the book's all-seeing record of the past.
But to truly understand them, you must relive the events that led us here long ago.
Far beyond the skies of Thundera and the reach of your imagination [Beeping.]
From within the body of your ancestor Leo, you will face the same challenges that he did.
But I warn you, Lion-O, if you fail, the book will be closed to you forever.
[Beeping.]
- Whoa.
Never thought the past would look so much like the future.
Looks like the Eye of Thundera.
Beautiful, isn't it, Leo? I serveMumm-Ra? - And you will do well not to forget it.
Once I have the Warstone in my grasp, I will amplify the power of the Sword of Plun-Darr, making it the most formidable weapon in existence.
[thinks.]
Warstone? Tell me, commander, has the Book of Omens pinpointed the stone's energy signal? Um Let me check.
There.
Captain Tygus.
Yes, Lord Mumm-Ra? Prepare your pilots and the rest of the invasion force to move in once the stone is located.
To that aim, commander, see to it that the animals are deployed for the initial planetary sweeps.
Yes, my lord.
So, Mumm-Ra used the book to find the Eye of Thundera.
And the cats helped him? This is strange.
And I'm so lost.
[chattering.]
[growls.]
[trumpets.]
[whimpering.]
What took you so long? Sorry.
What did I miss? [chuckles.]
This is our invasion target.
The planet is 73% water, so we'll need every tiger shark we've got.
As usual, we'll get the dogs and monkeys to work the ground, and the vultures will search from the air.
I assume Tygus and his men will be ready to move in once the stone is located.
You could assume that.
All these animals enslaved to search for a single stone.
Who do you think they hate more: the cages or the security collars that will blow them to pieces with one step in the wrong direction? I'm going with the collars.
[electricity crackles.]
Watch it, cat.
[snarls.]
- [grunts.]
- [hisses.]
[all grunting.]
[alarm buzzing.]
[grunting and snarling.]
Oh, just what we need, a riot.
[grunting.]
Are you just going to stand there looking pretty, or are you going to fight? [grunts.]
Unh! - [hissing.]
Whiskers.
- [all grunting.]
[alarm buzzing.]
[hisses.]
[all grunting.]
We'll take it from here.
Let's take the leaders to isolated holding.
If you so much as twitch, it'll be the last move you make.
[Both grunt.]
Wait.
What are you doing? I think they've spent enough time in these cuffs.
[groans.]
Nearly took my head off! You cats will take any chance you get.
I'll say it was quite a convincing performance.
Yeah.
Performance.
My apologies for the unplanned riot, but it seemed we should meet.
Mumm-Ra will have the stone soon.
And when he does, there won't be a force in the galaxy strong enough to free us from his dominion.
So the question is, are you prepared to join the rebellion? Our people are willing, but some question if the jackals can really trust you cats.
What choice do you have, to stay in your chains? Even if we could trust you, does the commander really believe he can defeat Mumm-Ra once he has the stone? Me? Oh, yeah.
Sure.
I mean, probably.
Definitely.
But he can't do this alone.
We'll need all the animals to unite in order to overwhelm the rest of Mumm-Ra's defenses.
Of course, if he fails, we all die.
Yes.
Ironic.
Our cat oppressors turn to the slaves for salvation.
If he gets the stone, we'll consider it.
[Beeps.]
Don't worry.
I have faith in you, Leo.
I'm so dead.
But at least I have a girlfriend.
Captain Tygus, I want a progress report.
Yes, Lord Mumm-Ra.
I have good news.
After searching the planet's vast oceans and desolate plains, the stone was located inside a well-armed city.
Our forces are working to retrieve it as we speak.
Every species has its place, Leo, some meant for greater tasks than others.
But your own kind has proved most cunning and ruthless.
You inspire fear in the other animals.
They hate you as much as they do me.
I suspect in a rebellion, you would be the first to die.
A rebellion? That would surely be the work of fools, my lord.
Indeed.
[Beeps.]
We've procured the Warstone, my lord.
At long last, it's mine.
- Bring it to me.
- Yes, my Lord.
The Sword of Omens.
Hewn from the same enchanted metal as Mumm-Ra's sword and gauntlet.
I'm worried it's a bit short.
That will change once I join it with the Eye of Thundera.
Let's go.
[weapons click.]
Thanks for finding the Warstone, captain, but I can take it from here.
You'll never be able to unify the animals behind you, commander.
A tiger underestimating me.
I'm not surprised.
Now all you have to do is use the book to shut down security, free the slaves, and beat Mumm-Ra.
Well, when you say it like that, it sounds so easy.
You have the stone, commander? Yes, but you're not getting it.
Your betrayal comes as a surprise.
Even more surprising is that you sincerely believe you'll succeed.
You yourself said it's the most powerful weapon in existence.
One of the most powerful weapons in existence, Leo, and I have the other three.
Other three? [laughs.]
Certainly you didn't forget about the three stones we already collected.
Heh.
Believe it or not, that somehow slipped my mind.
Now having brought a planet to its knees for that stone, I suspect taking it from you will be a far easier task.
[grunts.]
[grunting.]
[Both grunting.]
Aah! Stripped of your stones, you'll be nothing more than a withered sack of bones.
[growls.]
The two I still have are more than enough to defeat you.
[electricity buzzing.]
[metal clanging.]
Perhaps I underestimated you, Leo, but not as drastically as you underestimated me.
I can harness the powers of these stones in ways you can only dream of.
Just when I thought I was winning.
[grunts.]
Your rebellion is over, Leo.
[grunts.]
I'm not done yet.
[grunts.]
[groans and screams.]
[screams .]
[Beeping.]
If I don't get these animals loose, this will all be for nothing.
[electricity buzzes and machines whir.]
[hisses.]
[whimpering and growling.]
[hissing.]
I realize the cats haven't earned it, but I'm asking for your trust.
Trust in me and in a future where we are not enemies, but brothers.
Today, let's put aside our differences, because together, we can be free.
Unite or fall! [cheering.]
Come! [screeching.]
[screeches.]
[indistinct shouting.]
So, how'd I do? You think you've freed them, but you've only doomed them to die for your rebellion.
[grunts.]
They're not fighting for me.
They're fighting for themselves.
[screams.]
[grunts.]
[grunts and screams.]
Even if you had my power, you wouldn't know what to do with it.
Maybe not.
But I just figured out this gauntlet holds more than my sword.
[clanking.]
[roars.]
[roars.]
A light to end the darkness.
[Both grunting.]
- [yells.]
- [grunts.]
Aah! [laughs.]
[grunts.]
[Both grunting.]
[grunts.]
[groans.]
[wheezing.]
[grunts.]
[screams.]
The stones! [choking and wheezing.]
[groaning.]
[wheezing.]
[clanking.]
Now, that's the Mumm-Ra I know and love.
[all cheering.]
You just accomplished the impossible.
[rumbling.]
[Both gasp.]
[animals calling.]
[beeping.]
The ship's instruments are going crazy.
Some kind of magnetic storm is fighting the gravity of this planet's moons.
We're on a crash course for-- Third Earth.
[wheezes.]
Yours is a fleeting victory.
[chuckles.]
I will live to collect what's mine.
No! [grunting.]
If we can't pry it open, let's make sure he can't either.
[grunts.]
[whirring.]
[all cheering.]
- What do we do? - Brace for impact.
Mmm.
[groaning.]
Huh? The impact of the crash disrupted the book's record but left enough of the crew alive to begin civilization anew here on Third Earth.
Then Mumm-Ra's after not just the Eye of Thundera he's after all the stones.
But where are they? - Scattered by the winds across Third Earth.
The book will be your guide to them.
But remember, it will take more than their power alone to defeat this monster.
I have to bring the animals together against him.
We unite or fall.
Go, now, Lion-O.
Wait! I have more questions! [gasps and pants.]
[meows.]
- [groans.]
- [yowls.]
I know what we have to do.
Which means if I want to read this I need to power it up.
[meows.]
