Mind Warp
AJ Angel
Lighting flashed outside the Balck Pyramid as the winds howled, blowing
sand everywhere.
Nature knew that Mummra was up to something...and it wasn't good. Inside,
Mummra stood by
his cauldronw ith his undead bulldog Marr Mutt. In his hand, he held
a strange amulet. Marr
Mutt looked at it, cocking his head a bit. It was made of an strange
ancient alloy and had a
funny scent to it.
"See this Marr Mutt? This is the amulet that will helpus to finally
defeat the Thundercats.
For this maulet will grant me the power of the Mind Warp, which will
turn anyone under it's
power into the wear's puppet," Mummra said. Marr Mutt barked happily
at the sound of this.
There wa san actual chance that this plan would work.
"Now, we just have to find the perfect puppet," Mummra said, waving
hishand across the cauldron
and searching 3rd Earth for an target he had in mind.
At the Lair, everyone was busy doing something when Angel appeared out
front. Panthro was on
watch and maons when he sees her on the screen.
"I wish she would appear inside for once," he said as he saw Tygra
go out to greet her.
"Angel," he said. She turns to hima nd this bigest smile appears on
her face.
"Ty!" she shouts, in an almost cutesy voice, dashes over to him, and
jumps into his arms. Tygra
catches her and spins a bit to balence himself so they would fall.
"I wish you wouldn't do that," he said with a smile. She smiels with
an sorry look on her face
as he puts her down.
"So, what's been happening in your world?" Tygra said. Angel began
to tell him as they walked
to the lair when the winds kicked up.
"Brrrrr. What's going on?" Angel said, shivering.
"The winds have been like that all day. It's odd," Tygra said. Angel
thought about this and
then her eyes went wide when she sensed something evil near by. They
both looked and saw...
"Mummra," they both said. Tygra imeditally got out his whip and stood
in front of Angel. Mummra
laughed at this.
"Not today Tygra," he said, back handing the sair, which created an
force that blew him into
the right paw.
"TY!" Angel shouts, and moves to see if he's allright but finds that
she can't move.
"What in the Nine Hells?" she asked and hears Mummra laugh. Then some
force turns her to Mummra
and she sees the glowing amulet around his neck.
"Oh gods no!" Angel gasped. Tygra moans and gets up as the other Thundercats
come out to help.
Mummra just laughs as he grabs Angel and flies up into the air.
"Angel!" Tygra shouts, seeing that she has the same glow aorund her
like the amulet. Before
anything else can be done, Mummra vanished with Angel.
"What just happened?" Lion-O asked, turing to Tygra.
"Mummra jumnped us and it looks like he's using some sort of magic
over her," Tygra said.
"He is using magick. Dark Magick," said a fmailar voice, and the spirit
of Jaga appaears.
"Jaga!" Lion-o
"Mummra has an amulet that uses the Mind Warp spell. With it, he can
turn Angel into a mindless
slave," Jaga said.
"Then let's get to the Black Pyramid before he casts it," Lion-O said.
As Panthro ran to get out
the Thundetank, Tygra had a very bad feeling.
Back at the Pyramid, pain woke Angel from pitch black sleep. She moans
as she flutters her eyes
open and finds that the pain is coming from her wrists. They are in
shackles, which are attached
to a chian which hangs from the ceiling. Angel groans at this. It seems
the universe loved to
put her in chains and hang her form the ceiling like a chandaler or
pinata. She glanced around
and saw that she was in Mummra's Crypt, hanging over the cauldron.
"I see you're finally awake," Mummra said. She looked up and saw him
before her. She glared
at him.
"How dare you kidnapp me you bag of moldy bones!" she said.
"Threats won't work today. While you are chained up like that, you
can't cast any of your spells
so you are helpless today," Mummra said. Angel glared at him, giving
him a slight chill up his
spine.
"What is the meaning of this prick?" she asked. He glared at her as
he held up the amulet.
"This is," he said. Angel saw that it was the same amulet as before.
"What in Hevean's name is that?" Angel asked.
"This is the Mind Warp amulet. Let me demonstrate it's power," Mummra
said, putting it on.
"Uh, let's not say and we did," Angel said, not liking that way he
said that last part. Mummra
held up his hands as he chanted something in an ancient language. As
the amulet and her body
glowed the same color, the cauldron below her began to bubble.
"Oh gods no," Angel said, and tried to get the cuffs off. Mummra smiled
at this as he finished
the spell. The waters joined with the power of the amulet and funneled
around Angel. Then it
all splashed on her, submerging her. She fought agianst it as it forced
it's way into her body
and she screamed bloody murder when it reached her mind. When it was
all over, the waters fell
back into the cauldron and Angel just hung there with a vacant look
in her now black eyes. With
a fwip of his hand, the shackles and chains vanished. Angel fell and
landed gracefully before
Mummra, bowing before him.
"SSSo, it worksss," said a familar. Mummra looked up and saw Slithe.
Mummra had calle him earlier
and had Slithe meet him at the pyrmaid. The reptilaina didn't believe
in the power of the
amulet...untill now.
"Yes. And now she is under our full power," Mummra said, a smirk on
his face.
"Ssso, ssshe'll do whatever we want?" Slithe said, walking up to beside
Angel, who was still
bowing and didn't even look at him.
"Only what I say. Since I wear the amulet and casted the spell," Mummra
said. Slithe looked
at Mummra out of the corner o f his eye first, then looked directly
at the Demon preist.
"Then why don't you let me borrow the amulet for awhile?" Slithe asked
sugestingly (doing his
best Alluro impression). Mummra wasn't impressed with his impression
of Alluro but laughed
lightly at the idea.
"If I do that, the spell will be broken and the girl will be our enemy
once more," Mummra said.
Angel looked up at him, a confussed look on her face.
"Enemy?" she smiply asked.
"Not very bright now is she?" Slithe asked.
"The spell has that affect on her. Come Angel, let me show you our
enimies," Mummra said, and
led her to the cauldron, He waved a hand over it and showed the Thundercats
in the Thundertank
heading to the Black Pyramid.
"These are the Thundercats and they want to destroy me," Mummra said.
Angel glared at the image
of the Thundercats.
"Not while I'm around," she said. Slithe raised an eye brow. Maybe
she wasn't as absent minded
as he thought.
Back in the tank, Cheetara was getting bad vibes from the aproaching
pyramid.
"I don't like this," she said under her breath. This didn't help Tygra's
feelings very much.
He was also getting the same feelings from the pyramid. When they pulled
up and all came out of
the thundettank, they cautiously looked around.
"It'a a little too quiet," Lion-O said. Mummra's evil laugh could be
heard right then.
"You want a welcome Thundercats. I'll gladly give you one," his voice
said and figure in a red
cloak came out of the pyramid's only visible entrance. The Thundercats
stood ready for anything
as the figure took thier time coming out. The person stopped when they
were ten feet away from
the pyramid. The red cloak and hood tottally hid their identity from
the Thundercats.
"Mummra has got to be crazy to face us in that form," Pantrho whispered.
The figure laughed
lightly and attacked them at the speed of light, scattering them.
"By Jaga1 He's gotten fast," Kit said. Cheetara took a chance and grabbed
the cloak at one
moment. It easily left the figure and everyone gasped to see that it
was Angel! But something
was diffrent about her.
"Her eyes..." Kat said, she slowly turns and looks right at him with
her black vacant eyes,
sending chils up and down his spine.
"You will not harm my master," Angel said and quickly moved to attack.
"Kat!" Pantrho said and intercepted Angel with his knun chucks. She
saw this out of the corner
of her eye and dodged it like her body was made out of rubber. Kat's
jaw dropped when he saw
this.
"What did he do to her?" he said, bareley able to get the words out.
"It's like she's not even away of her own body," Tygra said. They heard
Mummra's laugh right
then.
"That's right. The Mind Warp seperates mind from body to make her the
perfect warrior," Mummra
said as Angel straighten back up.
"Now Angel, go for their leader Lion-O and hi sword of Omnes," Mummra
said. Now, Lion-o was
behind her about some thirty feet or so. Angel slowly turned her head
all the way around to
look at him, and everyone could hear some bones pop in her neck when
she did that, giving them
a sicking feeling. Angel then turned her body to him and moved to attack
him.
"Angel! No!" Panthro said. He and Cheetara attacked her, but thier
attacks were deflect by an
barrier that turned green on impact.
"Terra Force!" Angel shouts, using her powers to blow them back over
to the Thundetank. The
Thunderkittens frozze inplace when they saw this.
"By Jaga!" Lion-O said when he saw this. He then turned back to Angel,
holding up the sword.
Angel pulled a black one out of her own body and proceded to fight
with Lion-O. Angel fought
hard against him, twitsting and turning her body like rubber making
other bones in her body
go snap crackle pop. The combonation of the sicking sounds and the
fact that he was fighting
and friend unerved Lion-O a bit, and made him falter a bit. Angel took
this chance to knock
him off his feet and point the blade of her sword to his throat.
"ANGEL! NO!" Tygra shouted. Angel gasped & just stood there looking
at Lion-O. In that moment,
Lion-O got away from her and back on his feet. In that moment, memories
flashed through Angel's
head. Mostly of Tygra, but also a mix of something being blown up.
A building? A plane?
"You fool! You had him!" Mummra shout.
"No," Angel said, her voice cracking as she slowly turned to Tygra.
"That voice...and...oh gods," Angel said, tears streaming down her
face as she looked down.
"Tygra, get her attention," Lion-o shouted. Tygra nods.
"Angel! Over here," Tygra said. Angel looked at him and when Tygra
saw a look of such sadness
and pain on her face it made him gasp.
"Mummra, what's going on?" Slithe asked. Both he and Mummra were watching
the whole fight from
the cauldron.
"I...I don't know," Mummra said, as confussed as Slithe. And watched
as Angel's black eyes began
to cry green tears.
"The spell is wearing off!" Mummra said.
Angel slowly looked around at everyone, and saw what she had done...and
almost done by the
small cut on Lion-o's throat.
"Oh gods," she said, her breath ragged. Angel dropps to her knees as
the black begins to fad
from her eyes. Tygra sighs releaved at this and begins to ealk over
to her when Mummra appears
behind her.
"Mummra!" he shouts.
"Angel! You are under my control!" Mummra said with a scowl and held
up the amulet. It glowed
and it's power swept over her, trying to take over her again. She grimaces
as she puts her hands
to her head.
"No Angel! You're not under his control," Tygra shouts.
"Yes you are!"
"No you're not!" Angel grimaced in apin as her head ached over the
tug of war. As Mummra argued
with Tygra, he didn't notice that the amulet hanging from his neck
was begining to crack.
Suddenly, Angel was up on her knees screaming as the amulet shattered.
"Noo!" Mummra wailed as Tygra dashed over and caught Angel before she
fell face first in the
sands. The other Thundercats jumped up to defend them as Tygra quickly
carried Angel away
from the defeated Demon preist.
"Well Mummra?" Lion-O asked. Mummra glared at him.
"Another day Thundercats," Mummra simply said and walked back to his
pyramid. Everyone lets out
an sigh of relief as Tygra carries the sleeping Angel to the thunderank.
Angel moans and opens
her eyes.
"Ty?" she whispers.
"It's allright Angel, the night mare is over," Tygra said.
"It hurts so much," Angel said, clining to him as they went into the
tank. Angel could feel it
power up and drive away as they sat in the back. Angel glanced over
at the twins, and saw a mix
of bisbeleif and fear in their eyes.
"I remember everything that I did back there," Angel said, looking
away from the twins. Angel
could tell it was going to take awhile to get over this one.
"You said it hurts?" Tygra asked. Angel nods.
"I'm really here Tygra," Angel said, loud enough for them all to hear
this. Everyone one gasped
and the tank was stopped.
"What!" Panthro said. Angel silently smiled at that famous line.
"Please explain what you just said," she heard Cheetara said. Angel
sighs.
"In order to cast the spell on me...Mummra had to bring me all the
way here. It's all flesh and
blood that's here," Angel said. There was an omnious silence in the
tank at that moment.
"Are you stuck here?" Kit finally asked. Angel painfully nodded.
"No...but I can feel everything I did back there," Angel said. Everyone
suddenly remembered how
Angel fought back there and Panthro got the tank going angain.
"I'm surprised that you aren't dead," Tygra said, holding her like
she was slip out of his grasp.
Angel was silent. She didn't know what to say. Pain was filling her
mind as she just sat there,
and every jumble in the road made her grimace.
"What are you thinking?" she heard someone whisper.
"If it was a mistake to come back after being sent back by Chronos,"
Angel said. The rest of
the ride was in silence and when they got back to the lair, Angel was
rushed to the sickbay
where Pumyra was waiting. Angel just closed her eyes and fell asleep
as she began to figure
out what was exactlly wrong.
A few days later, Angel was back up on her feet. And was sitting at
her favorite window looking
out towards the magic woods that Angela and Sophia lived in. Turned
out they both had arrived
at the lair moments after the Thundercats got her there, and said they
would help her to get
home when she was ready. Angel sighed when she thought about that.
And when she went home, what
she do next? Maybe figure out Mummra had brought her there. Also, should
she keep coming back
to 3rd Earth? Sh eknew that this saga wasn't at the end yet...so should
she leave the rest of
the story to the others?
"Angel?" asked a voice. She looked and saw Sophia.
"Hey Sophia," Angel said as Sophia walked over and leaned against the
wall next to the wall.
"Angel, are you thinking of leaving and not coming back?" Sophia asked.
"Maybe."
"Why?"
"Evertime I come, I cause so much trouble with Mummra and the Mutants,"
Angel said.
"Not to mention the Lunatacts sometimes." Angel sighs.
"Please, don't remind me."
"So, you're going to go home and never come back."
"I guess." It sounded as if Angel was still in debate about that one.
Sophia noted this in her
voice.
"What about the others?" Sophia asked. Angel looked up at her.
"Huh?"
"How do you think the Thundercats and Angela would feela bout this?"
Angel remembered the look
in the twins eyes.
"Probably glad...especially after that little stunt Mummra pulled,"
Angel said, glareing at the
end. Sophia frowned.
"I would think other wise."
"What?"
"Angel, come with me." Sophia said, taking her hand and guiding her
down the hall."
"Angel, you're the only person from Earth...even from another dimension.
If you haven't noticed,
they enjoy having you here to hear about your realm and what happens
there," Sophia said.
She took Angel to the councel room where the tohers were waiting for
her.
"Well?" Panthro asked. Angel turned from them to Sophia.
"Mind reader," Angel simply said, with a lgiht glare. Sophia just smiled
with her tounge
sticking out a bit before walking over to Angela. Angel sighs and sits
in the empty seat
by Tygra.
"Angel. Just what's happeneing back in your realm?" Tygra said, rmembering
how hesitant she
was back when she first got there. Angel clasps her hands together
and there's a very sad look
on her face.
"Angel?" Angel looks up at everyone then looks right at Angela and
Sophia.
"The Twins Towers and Pentagon have been attacked by terroists...using
hyjacked comerceal
planes," Angel said, greif in her voice. Angela and Sophia gasped at
this.
"How bad are the towers?" Angela asked. Angel paused for a moment.
"They are both destoryed," Angel said. Sophia's hand flew to her mouth.
The others were in shock
but confussed as well. Angel held out her hands and a large white ball
appeared.
"Memory recall," she whispred and all the news footage she had seen
replaced in the giant
orb of energy. The cats were utterly shocked by what they saw. Angel
didn't even look at the
images and soon stopped when greif filled her heart again. While the
images were new to the
other Thundercats, them seemed vaugly familar to Panthro, which confussed
him.
"Angel," Tygra said, wrapping an arm around her.
"I heard that we may being going into a 3rd world war...and I was so
scared...I just needed
a break from it all," Angel said, letting tears silently fall.
"Angel, this will only be frozzen while you're gone," Angela said.
"I know. I know," Angel whispered. Everyone was silent for a moment.
"Stay till you're ready to go back," Tygra said. Angel looked up at
him, then the others.
"Can I?" she asked. They just nodded with faint smiles.
"Thank you," Angel said, a big smile on her face.
"By the way, where's Anya?" Angela asked.
"Buffyverse...I think," Angel said. Angela nodded with an 'oh' look
on her face. After some more
happier conversation about college and her birthday party, everyone
slowly left the room. The
last to leave were Angel and Tygra.
"Can I really stay till I feel ready to go back?" Angel asked, leaning
on him gently.
"Yes." Angel thought for a moment.
"I may not returned...depending on what happens," Angel said.
"Then we'll just have to enjoy the days we have now," Tygra said. Angel
smiled at that.
"Yes, we will," Angel said, glad that she had decided to come to this
realm. If she only knew,
her little adventure had just begun.
