Tarnished Memories
Rated: PG (language)

Hello everyone. I'm back once more with part 2 of Tarnished Memories.
Now remember, I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE THUNDERCATS CHARATCERS.
But, Sophia and Angela are my characters, so please so don't take without asking first.
Thanks.

Okay, as we know from part one: The Lunatacks tried to catch Angela or Sophia but that didn't
work. But, Alluro was able to get her most precious material item...her locket with the only
pictures she has left of her freinds and family. Angela went to Sky Tomb with Tygra and
Panthro to get it back but it was gone! Vultureman had taken it with him when he left, big
mistake. But before Angela left, she used her rage to shake up Sky Tomb as a punishment for
taking her locket and a warning not to try anything again. And now, on with the show!

The sun streamed through the blinds in Angela's room and gently woke her up. She squeezed her
eyes before opening them, regretting it as she used her hand to shade her eyes from the
sunlight. She moans as she rolls over and sees that she's not in her room back at the mansion.
She props herself up on her elbows and reaches for her locket, which she finds gone and a pang
hits her heart, hurting it. It's then that she begins to remember what happened yesterday and
moans. Right then, the doors open and Snarf comes in.

"So, you're finally awake. It's about time," Snarf said. Angela looked at him confused and
looked at a near by clock.
"It's only eight o clock," Angela said.
"I know, but the others have been awake since dawn," Snarf said.
"Oh gods that's right," Angela said and jumped out of bed. Soon, she was dashing down the
stairs fully dressed and followed Snarf to a room where the adults were looking over maps and
stuff. Angela looked around quickly as Snarf went over to Lion-O and whispered something to
him.
"Where's the twins?" she asked.
"Out doing errands and they'll be going to see Sophia later," Cheetara said. Angela nodded at
this and looked at the maps. It was the area that mutants were in, and she got shivers because
she knew very well where they lived and she didn't like the place one bit.
"When do we go?" she asked.
"After you get some breakfast," Lion-o said. Angela looked at him them Snarf with a questioning
look. He stood with Lion-O, backing him up. She moaned.
"Snitch," she thought.
"You came right down here without something to eat?" Cheetara asked.
"Yeah. So?" Angela asked.
"Angela, you haven't eaten since yesterday," Tygra said. Angela began to think about it and
they were right. The last time she ate was at the picnic.
"But..." she started.
"No buts, now let's go," Snarf said and began to push her out. She moans and let him take her
out of the room.

In Castle Plundar, Vultureman was in his lab with Slithe showing him one of his new inventions
that would supposedly cut through the spell surrounding the woods. Then, something glinted out
Slithe's eye and he saw...
"What'sss thisss," Slithe said and picked up the item. Vultureman looked and went very pale.
"Well?"
"That's Angela's locket Slithe. The Lunatacks were able to take it from her, so they could use
it as leverage to get to the knowledge she has," Vultureman said.
"Then how did you get it?" Slithe asked.
"I must of taken it by mistake when I left when things got hot," Vultureman said. Slithe began
to think about this.
"Well, sssince we have it now. We can use it as bait to catch Angela and get to the knowledge
ourselves," he said, and began to leave as her worked out the plan in his head.
"Slithe wait," Vultureman said but Slithe wouldn't listen, and Vultureman got a bad feeling
about this plan.

Meanwhile, in the Black Pyramid. The Ancient Spirits were waking Mummra up from his beauty
sleep. The door to his sarcophagus slid open and he dragged himself out.
"What is it, Ancient Spirits of Evil?" he asked, silently cursing them in the back of his mind.
"Look into the Cauldron Mummra, and you will see why," they all said. He looked and saw Slithe
holding up the locket.
"So, Slithe has taken up an interest in jewelry," Mummra said.
"Mummra! That is the locket, which Angela always wears with her. Slithe plans to use it to
catch Angela with it. But if you were to get it from him..." They left off.
"Then I could use it as leverage to gain access to the vast knowledge Angela holds in that
Mansion of Time of hers," Mummra said, and got into transform pose as the winds picked up.
"Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decaying form into Mummra, the Ever Living!" she
shouts and he's changed into his more powerful form and he flew out of the Black Pyramid and
headed for Castle Plundar.

Meanwhile, Angela was with all three Thundercat guys outside the castle. She looked around,
noticed where the sun was, and sighed. They noticed this and looked over at her.
"What?" they all asked at once.
"Why do I always go these type of places at sunset?" Angela asked. The guys looked at her
confused and she shrugged it off.
'Never mind, let's go in and get this over with," Angela said and they formed a ring as she
teleported them in with her violet light.

They appeared inside the castle, but not on the exact floor that Slithe was on. And they were
surrounded by mutants who instantly began to fight them.
"Damn it," Angela said, pulling her Spirit Sword out of thin air and began to take on whoever
dared to confront her.
"I thought you were going to take us directly to the locket," Lion-o said.
"So did I. Something went wrong," Angela said.
"Then where is the locket?" Panthro asked, as he fought with some Monkians. Angela took the
moment to quickly sense for the locket.
"Upstairs," she said, cutting a path to the stairs.
"Hey wait for us," Tygra said, quickly fending off some Jacklemen.

Upstairs, Slithe was alone in a room as he looked over the lockets and the pictures of the
people inside. It stared with the family Angela was born into, then the inner and outer
Magick Warriors, then the royals they all became, and finally the family she made with Richard.
Slithe could tell that this was not an ordinary locket because:

One: there were leaves for the extra photos
Two: you could see the faces clearly even though they were small
Three: it didn't feel natural somehow

Suddenly, Vultureman bursts into the room and slammed the door behind him, making Slithe look
up at him.
"What in the...?" Slithe started as Vultureman bolted the door.
"Angela is here with Lion-O, Panthro, AND Tygra," Vultureman said.
"WHAT?" Slithe said, jumping up from the table.
"I suggest we get rid of that locket NOW!" Vultureman said. Slithe was about to protest when
Mummra showed up, surprising them both.
"Mummra!" Slithe said.
"Slithe, give me the locket," Mummra said holding out his hand. Yet again, before he could
speak, a pounding at the door cut off Slithe.
"I know you have my locket you miserable bag of bones!" Angela's voice said. Slithe was very
surprised to hear this.
"Well?" Mummra asked. And Slithe took only a quick mo to think about it.

"That does it," Angela said, and cut the door in half with one swipe of her sword. She enters
alone, the guys are still tying to catch up to her. She finds just Slithe and Vultureman
(who's trying to hide in the shadows). It's then that she notices something.
"Where the fuck is my locket?" Angela asked, making Slithe gasp.
"Well?" Angela asked, pointing the sword right at him. He gulped right then.
"Mummra has it now, you just missed him," Slithe said.
"What!?!?!?" Angela exclaimed. Slithe smiled at this.
"And he said if you want it back, you have to go to his pyramid...alone," Slithe said. Angela
just stood there in shock for the moment as the 3 Thundercat guys catch up and enter the room.
Angela bowed her head a bit, the shadows hiding her eyes.
"Angela?" Lion-O asked, moving up behind her.
"The locket is gone. Mummra has it," Angela said, almost sadly. Slithe smiled more, but
Vultureman wasn't fooled.
"What? How?" Panthro asked. Angela looked up, her eyes glowing red.
"He gave it to him!" Angela growled, pointed her sword at Slithe. Every one moved away from her
as she glowed red/violet light.
"Angela," Tygra said with a shaky voice, trying to calm her down as Vultureman shook with
fear.
"You will pay Slithe," Angela said, and pointed her sword up in the air.
"Silent Rage Climax!" Angela said, the power from her rage and the sword mixed and spread
through out the castle. And nothing happened at first.
"Ha! You must be loosing your power," Slithe said. Angela put her sword away and turned away.
"Let's go," she said and left the room.
"Now jussst one moment," Slithe said and tried to follow but the whole place began to shake and
the window blew out behind him as Vultureman began wailing and tried to say something like
"I tired to tell you."

Outside, Angela and the guys walked back to the tank as the windows blew out and walls cracked.
"Do you think that was necessary?" Lion-O asked.
"Yes," Angela flatly said then stopped in her tracks. The guys stopped behind her just her knees
began to buckle and she started to fall.
"Angela!" they all shouted and moved to catch her. Angela felt hands grabbing her instead of
the ground coming to meet her. She let out a sigh of relief.
"I need to go home and rest. That took a lot out of me," Angela said.
"Right," one of them said and she was carried back to the Thundertank. Once back in the tank,
Angela grabbed whoever held her before they left her.
"Thank you," she weakly said, before passing out. Angela knew she would have to rest before
going to confront and she would need all she could get.

"So, Mummra has the locket now," Lion-o said.
"Yes, but how are we going to go about getting it back now?" Tygra asked and they sat out the
rest of the ride in silence.
