Thundercats (2011) s01e14 Episode Script
New Alliances
Previously on "Thundercats" Let's see what the Spirit Stone can do.
Defeat of your enemy is worth any sacrifice! You will know a betrayal from your brother like you have never known.
whoo-hoo! Someone tell me how we ever lived without a hoverboard.
Yeah! Uh-oh.
Thundercats.
Um, hi? We were just leaving.
Get them.
Oh! Looks like you're trapped.
Are we trapped? Or are you? Thundercats, ho! Aah! What are we going to do with them? We're going to let them go.
Excuse me? They fought under Mumm-Ra long enough to know they don't want to live under him.
His mission is not just a threat to cats.
If we don't unite against them, we'll fall together before him.
Cats and lizards, united together? If that's your plan for victory, you are a fool.
Perhaps.
Still, the choice is yours-- return to the battlefield, or return to your families.
Let's go home.
You still Haven't given up the idea that you can turn the lizards good just by cutting them a break.
You saw what happened after we won the Spirit Stone-- mass desertions in the lizard army.
This isn't their war.
They don't even know what they're fighting for.
Well, your back's real easy to watch.
Think I'm going to hack up a hairball.
Ahem.
Sorry.
Don't be.
I'm happy for both of you.
It means a lot to hear you say that.
How about we get back to the Berbil village and check in on Panthro? Yeah! If those furry little bears can make these hoverboards, I can't wait to see what they do with Panthro's new arms.
Hold still, Ro-Cat Panthro.
Almost finished.
You think it would actually put me back together? Sometimes, I can still feel them.
The worst part is when they itch.
Nothing there to scratch, nothing there to scratch with.
Berbils done.
You call these arms? Berbil arms.
How's it going, Panthro? How does it look like it's going? Oh, they're not so bad.
In fact, they're actually kind of Adorable.
Are you trying to make me mad? Sorry.
Good news-- another successful ambush.
If things keep going this way, they won't have an army to stop us from finding the next Stone.
Just don't win the war before I have a chance to get a few more licks in.
Can somebody please get these Things off of me? A general is only as strong as his army, Slithe, and yours is an embarrassment.
Entire battalions fleeing at the mere sight of the cats! What do they have to be loyal to, lord Mumm-Ra? You've made it clear they are nothing more than minions to you.
I'm not asking for loyalty.
I want warriors who fight not for treasure, but for blood.
Warriors like these.
Who are they? Wretched souls, motivated only by base emotions and currently incarcerated for crimes vile even to me.
They are to be my new generals, Slithe.
New generals? The lizard army will never listen to a Monkian and a Jackalman.
They will at least see to it that there are consequences for deserting, and more importantly, give us the means to recruit the armies of their people.
Free them, Slithe.
Bring them to me.
We will show the Thundercats this war is only beginning.
For your crimes against the bird nation, you are hereby sentences to death.
Don't I at least get a last meal? It is the custom.
Good, because you are looking quite tasty.
I'm afraid, Atticus, that today, you are at the bottom of the food chain.
Then you better make sure this drop is high enough to kill me.
The only way you'll survive is if you suddenly grow wings.
It would seem I've been given a last-minute reprieve.
You owe your life to lord Mumm-Ra, barbarian.
Join us, or I will push you off this platform myself.
Fine.
But first I'm owed a meal.
That's right.
Keep it moving.
And if any of you come back, you'll have Kit and Kat to deal with.
Another battalion has surrendered.
We need to keep up the pressure.
It doesn't make any sense, Cheetara.
Do you have a different plan? I'm not talking about the lizards.
Even after going over it a thousand times in my mind, I-- I still don't understand how I could have misread all your signals.
You said you were OK with Tygra and me.
I know what I said.
I just wish it were true.
Every time I turned around, your eyes were on me.
I-- you followed me everywhere, even into all this.
It's because Jaga asked me to watch over you.
Then all those things you said about seeing something special in me-- that was just part of your job? Of course not.
I believe in you with all my heart.
It's just that heart belongs to someone else.
This doesn't change our relationship.
But it does.
Changes everything.
What's wrong with him? Ro-Bear Bill make adjustments to new arms.
Only adjustment I care about is making sure they don't look completely ridiculous.
Hmm.
Ahh.
Not too bad.
By the great sky cat's claws, make it stop! Turn them off! Further adjustments required.
Solitary confinement! But I said I was sorry.
I mean, when you think about it, you should really be thanking me.
You got 11 less prisoners to worry about.
At least I'll have the voices in my head to talk to.
Houseguests? Greetings, Kanar.
Lord Mumm-Ra says you're a vicious, reckless, bloodthirsty Did he say "handsome"? We could use someone like you.
What can you give me? Freedom.
Actually, I'm quite comfortable right here.
Then how about cats? Ooh.
Now, I like cats.
Do you mind if I say good-bye to some pals? Those are the same lizards we convinced to desert earlier.
Must have been captured by their own army.
Tough break.
You don't want to help them? Whether they're deserters or prisoners, they're not our problem anymore.
You don't understand.
If we don't stand by them, they'll stand by Mumm-Ra.
Tygra's right.
It's too dangerous to save lizards who could turn on us tomorrow.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised you'd side with him.
You know that's not what this is about.
You're right.
It's about their army being on the verge of collapse and not letting up the pressure.
You two should go back to the Berbil village.
They're right about this being dangerous.
Lion-O, wait! We have to stick together! You two can stick together.
I'll do this alone.
If it isn't the lord of the Thundercats himself.
I always knew you weren't so bright, Slithe, but you seem to have forgotten who you're fighting against.
I Haven't forgotten.
It's just that I find these cowards are even worse than cats.
What kind of soldier abandons his post? Luckily, Mumm-Ra's newest generals, Kanar and Atticus, found them before they got too far.
Ha ha! New generals, Slithe? Does that mean Mumm-Ra finally figured out you can't handle the job? They're only here to help make an example of these deserters.
It will be an example of what happens when an axe meets a neck.
The lizard army will understand there are consequences for betraying Mumm-Ra.
I can't let that happen.
That's quite noble, considering you're the reason they're in this position.
But three against one? That's hardly fair.
Do we even the odds? Did you really think we'd let you do this alone? You fight with a lot of discipline.
Does that mean you can't handle me? Ha! Aah! Let's go! Come on! Aah! Maybe I should just learn to eat with my feet! Panthro not worry.
Berbils make adjustments.
Arms all fixed.
Uh-huh.
Adjustments are looking good.
Looking good.
You guys back already? It's Lion-O! Somebody fuel up my tank! Berbils make adjustments to Thundertank, too.
Looking good.
No fair! I can't see you! Guess it's a good thing I can still smell you.
Aah! Same attack pattern over and over.
Huh! Look around, Lion-O.
Surrender, or we'll kill him.
I believe it's your turn to surrender now.
Never! There's still two of us! Cheetara, what are you doing? I thought we had to stick together.
I have to stick with him.
Kill them in whatever manner amuses you.
Ooh-hoo-hoo! The possibilities! Take cover! We'll get plenty more chances to tangle with these beasts.
Now, get in! Don't get so down, kid.
You only lost the battle, not the war.
But these new generals-- their army will be stronger than ever.
We'll get through this.
We just have to stick together.
Defeat of your enemy is worth any sacrifice! You will know a betrayal from your brother like you have never known.
whoo-hoo! Someone tell me how we ever lived without a hoverboard.
