Chapter 1:
The Arrival
It was a beautiful night on Third-Earth. Lion-o and his friends were sitting by the bonfire, relaxing from a long day of dealing with Mumm-ra's goons. Lion-o was sitting in the middle beside Pumyra and Panthro. Tygra, like always, was sitting beside Cheetara with his right arm over her shoulder, which irritated Lion-o.
"So, has anyone seen Wilykit and Wilykat?" Asked Tygra; breaking the silence around the camp.
Panthro crossed his arms and sighed. He replied with annoyance in his voice, "Eh, those two cubs are playing in the forest. They'll be back before the fire goes out."
They weren't worried because they knew the cubs were about to take care of themselves. They were able to survive in the slums of Thundera and they were able to survive in the forest but they did felt a little bit of concern. "If they don't come back, we'll have to look for them," Lion-o thought.
In the forest, the cubs were playing tag and Wilykat was it. They were, at least, a mile away from the camp. Wilykit tried to run from her brother but he was too fast for her. He tackled her and both of them laughed.
"Haha, you're it, Kit!" Wilykat taunted her sister. "Now you have to try and catch me!"
Wilykit pouted and shouted, "No fair! You cheated, Kat!" Her hand molded into fists and placed them down, beside her waists. She continued, "I could've won if you hadn't cheated!"
As they argued, a ball of fire appeared in the sky and crashed to the ground a-mile-away from where the twins were. The Sound scared the two, causing them to become curious and see what it was. They stood behind a bush and what they saw surprised them. Eyes opened, it was an amazing, yet terrifying, thing. It was a purple and metallic, shaped like a 12-pointed-star. This day was getting weird, even for the Thundercats. Knowing it wasn't from this world, the cubs kept their distance but Wilykat was too eager to resist. He ran up to get a closer look.
"Kat, what're you doing! We don't know what it is or what it might do!" exclaimed Wilykit, running to her brother and hoping nothing dangerous would happen. She stood beside her brother, staring at the metal object. Kat was amazed by it while Kit was terrified of it.
"Wow, what do you think it is Kit?" He looked at his sister with his eyes widened in amazement.
"I don't know, Kat but I think we shouldn't get close to it," replied Kit in a scared tone of voice with her arms around Kat's right arm. "Maybe we should get the others."
Wilykat frowned and said to his sister, "And let them have all the fun! Kit, this thing could be filled with all sort of treasure! Maybe not as much treasure as El-Dara but it would be enough treasure to make us rich!"
"But what if it isn't treasure but some sort of egg to a hideous monster!" Wilykit argued with her brother until he dared her to touch it.
"Come on, kit, touch and see if it's dangerous or not. If it cracks open and tentacles pop out, then it's dangerous but nothing happens, then it's not dangerous."
Wilykit got close to it, shaking as she extended her index finger and touched the purple glass-like frame. It was hot but not hot enough to burn her finger. Nothing happened, which filled Kit with relief but that didn't last long. Steam appeared from below the frame and, slowly, it opened. Kit jumped back, away from it and stood beside her brother. Fear filled the cubs and as they stood, a man-shaped figure, wearing a black, leather jumpsuit with a patch stitched to the left side of its chest and a black helmet with a camera-like device on its left side, walked out of its ship and stood, stoically. The cubs held each other, shaking in fear. The figure looked down, noticing the twins and as it looked at them, it spoke in a language that was common but sounded cybernetic: " Tuzu rén de shēngmìng xíngshì, shìtú gōutōng"
It reached out to them, trying to touch to greet them. The Wilys were scared and so they ran back to the camp with such speed.
"Run Kit!" Wilykat shrieked. He held his sister's hand, running and telling her not to look back. Sweat was on their brows from running and they continued to run without stopping for a breather.
The cubs ran back to camp. Their shrieks of terror caught the attention of the older cats. They ran behind Lion-o, tugging his shirt and crying in fear.
The worried lion looked at the twins and asked with such concern, "Kit, Kat, what's wrong! Did you get hurt!"
Heavily breathing, they weren't able to speak for a while. Kit spoke as sweat fell from her face, "W-we were playing tag in the woods when we saw something fall from the sky! We went to see what it was but when we got there, we didn't know what we were seeing!" Her brother finally spoke and like his sister, he had trouble talking. He continued her explanation, "Y-yeah, It was a meteor shaped like a 12-pointed-star! I dared Kit to touch it but when she did, something came out of it! It was shaped like a man dressed in a black suit! It spoke in a weird language and reached out to us! I think it wanted to hurt us!"
What the cubs said shocked Lion-o and scared the other older cats, except for Tigra and Panthro.
"Are you sure you two didn't just imagine the whole thing?" Tygra, cynically, responded.
"Tygra, we're telling the truth! You believe us, right Lion-o!" cried Kit, looking up at their king. "You got to believe us, please! We can take you to where it landed!"
The lion king saw they were telling the truth because he saw the honesty in their eyes. He turned around, facing the cubs, and placed his hands on their shoulders. Kit's face blushed, feeling the king's touch on her right shoulder.
"Take us to where you saw this meteor. We'll deal with whatever tried to attack you."
The Wilys smiled, knowing that Lion-o would believe them. They hugged him and led the way. The others got up with Panthro shaking his head and sighed with "oh, great." Tygra shrugged and shook his head with "Oh, you got to be kidding me."
As they followed the cubs, Lion-o was behind the Wilys while the others were behind him. Pumyra, on the other hand, walked beside him. Wilykit looked behind to see Pumyra close to Lion-o, which made her a little angry. 20-minutes-later, the cubs brought the older cats to the crash site.
Jaw dropped, Tygra rubbed his eyes and pinched himself to see if he was dreaming but no such luck. The cubs were right, except for one thing: There was sign of the dark figure. Lion-o got close to it. He crouched down and looked inside the cockpit. Amazed at seeing the technology inside, he wanted to get a closer look until Cheetara walked up and grabbed his shoulder.
"Lion-o, I don't think it's a good idea to be looking into something that we don't know of," she responded. Cheetara's hand touching Lion-o's shoulder made him blush a little. "Maybe we should leave it alone."
"Maybe you're right. Maybe we should leave it alone. Hey, I'm not hearing anything from you guys."
Lion-o and Cheetara turned their heads facing the others; noticing the nervous stares they were showing. They turned around to the direction the others were staring and saw the dark figure, standing before them like a statue. Lion-o fell to the ground while Cheetara, slowly, backed away. Lion-o stood up off the ground and pulled out the Sword of Omens out of the Claw Shield. Cheetara took out her staff and was a defensive pose. The others pulled out their weapons as well and stood in defense. The dark figure saw this as a threat and, like the others, defended himself by making his flat like swords and with a pose similar to a tiger.
