A/N: As I am working on 9 fanfictions at once, I have been trying to write as much as possible. Howether, this one is my main priority. I have been working on this fanfiction since the 14th of March last year. This story is in fact a SongFic, but doesn't contain the lyrics because the chapters are named after the song/s. There are many points in this story that nearly had me in tears, but I can't say because SPOILERS! FYI, like all of my stories, the perspectives change where it says -(BORDER)-
I know that this prologue seems rushed, but I have tried EXTREMELY hard because of preparations for exams and GCSE's, so I haven't had much time to write.
This story very loosely uses the Creepypasta Wake Up as a base for the first one (hence the name Wake Up), and the other stories are a continuation of this story.

Full summary: "I never knew what I was getting myself into at the time. All I was focused on was saving my friend. If only I wasn't so bloody impetuous and hot blooded! I've started something which could spell disaster for us all..." A year after the episode "The Book of Omens", everything is going well for the Thundercats, or so they thought. Little did they know that Mumm-ra wasn't defeated, and that he was plotting his revenge in hope to finally destroy them for good.
Wake Up
Prologue
I look over the ruins of what once was my home upon Third Earth. Rage, pure and fresh, runs through my body at the thought of what the wretched Thundercat lord Lion-O did to my pyramid. The insolent brat! First he defeats me then restores his home world back to what it was, then he beat me in hand-to-hand combat! There has to be a solution to this mass feline pest problem! I could crush Lion-O with one hand, yet the cub is stronger than me. Me? Mumm-ra the ever living? I'll tear his throat out with my bare hands if I have to! He must die! But…how? My best chances lie before me as rubble. Even without the Ancient Spirits of Evil I could rebuild my pyramid! Yes, that's just what I'll do!
Then, I could lure Lion-O to his death. Killing Mandora and Captain Bragg was easy. Now that the Mutants and Lunatacs are free, I can bring havoc on them! Terrorize their new city! "Ma-mutt," I shout at the top of my voice "Ma-mutt, I need you, my faithful undead hound!" The demonic hound materializes in front of me before jumping into my arms and licking my face. "Yes, I know. I love you too." I say as I stroke him, before whispering into his ears "We need to restore this pyramid if we want to succeed in our plan!"
I raise my right arm above my head as lightning streaks across the sky and thunder reverberates across the open sandy desert. "Ua'upes daaie houszt!" I roar, and point at the rubble. Slowly and sluggishly, my pyramid begins to rearrange itself. I chuckle to myself before turning to look behind me in the direction of Cat's Lair. Ever since the Thundercats had left for New Thundera, Tygra and Pumyra have been left behind to tend to the needs of the wretched creatures of this damned planet! Ha, left behind? More like abandoned! It should be easier to lure them to their doom, and I will be able to finally kill Lion-O.
All that is needed is a simple disguise, one of the two Thundercats. Tygra. There's no way that Lion-O will hesitate to help a friend in need. I look back at my pyramid before turning around and entering the re-built stone doorway. Everything is exactly as I remember it; the hieroglyphics on the wall are just as faded as they were the day I left. As I walk further, I pass cells with chains attached to the walls. I can't wait until Lion-O is in one of the cells as my prisoner. Although, he'd probably be dead before he's in the cell.
As I enter my throne room and stand in front of my sarcophagus, Ma-mutt starts to run around like a dog gone mad with a bone. We're home. And Lion-O and his feline cohorts are millions of miles away.
"Ancient spirits of Evil," I shout as I raise my hands "Transform this decayed form to Mumm-ra, the Ever Living!"
My bones creak as my body shifts and changes. I laugh as I say "This plan should work! Lion-O will never hold back to help Tygra if he is in trouble; he's so easily angered." Now, time to complete the transformation. "Now, transform this ancient form to the Thundercat Tygra!" I say, then I start to shrink as I transform into the tiger. Ma-mutt whines as I stand before him.
"Now, Ma-mutt. It's time to put our plan in place. I shall lure those wretched Thundercats to Third Earth, where I shall destroy them!" I roar, before jumping into the air then flying into the sky...
-(BORDER) -
"Lion-O, please! We need help! Mumm-ra's ambushed the lair and the tower of omens! He's taken control of Third Earth! Pumyra and I need you all here."
I look at Tygra as he talks to me via the telescreen. He's badly cut up, and he's covered in dried blood. Mumm-ra must have attacked him and Pumyra and taken them by surprise.
"Ok. We'll be there as soon as possible!" I say, but as I go to turn off the telescreen, Tygra says "I don't think that you'll get here in time, if you leave tomorrow..."
I nod then say "I understand. Lion-O out." as I turn off the screen.
I turn in my seat to face Panthro then say "You heard him! We need to go to Third Earth..." but he interrupts me by saying "We can't rush into something with barely any information about the situation, Lion-O. It could be a trap!"
Growling, I snarl "What if it isn't a trap? They could really be in trouble, and Mumm-ra could kill him and Pumyra. Are you REALLY going to sit on your freaking arse and do nothing? You're a Thundercat, for Jaga's sake, and Thundercats ALWAYS go to the aid of their friends!"
"I know, but remember that Mumm-ra can take anyone's form." Panthro snarls back at me, but it just sounds like he's chiding me. I sigh before getting up.
"Will you stop speaking to me like that? I'm not a cub anymore!" I snap as I look at the panther.
He gets up and stands his ground as he shouts "I'm not! I'm telling you the truth! Will you bloody listen to me for once? Just because you're our lord doesn't mean that you've got the right to talk to me like that and boss ALL of us around!"
"I DON'T boss you all around, and I DEFINATELY don't..." I shout, but I hear the door open, before Cheetara shouts over us "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing, arguing like a pair of spoilt cubs? Especially you, Lion-O! You should be ashamed of yourself! You're our leader, which means that you should be acting maturely, but you're acting like an over-pampered cub! Can't you two get on with each other for once? You two are usually close friends; what's got into you all of a sudden?"
Before I can reply, she says "Either way, do you think that you can't tear each other to shreds when we leave for Third Earth? As Tygra said, we need to get there ASAP. Panthro, you go and ready the Feliner for the journey. I think I'm going to have a quick word with Lion-O." Panthro nods and starts to walk out of the door, but as he passes me, I whisper into his ear "We SERIOUSLY need to stop taking orders from her; she bosses us around too much."
Now that Panthro is out of the room, Cheetara pushes me into a chair as she says "Lion-O, is something wrong? It's not like you to be pissed off with Panthro." I sigh before saying "I'm just annoyed that everyone seems to be treating me like a cub again! I'm not a kid anymore!"
"Hey, it's nothing like that. You've been over-stressed recently with the burden of watching over and guarding two planets. We've been trying to make it easier for you by doing the harder jobs, so that the stress eases." she says as she hugs me.
"Lion-O, Cheetara, the Feliner is ready for takeoff. Get ready as quickly as possible. We leave in 30 minutes." Panthro's voice comes in over the communicator as we look at each other. "On our way, Panthro." I say, then we run to our sleeping chambers to get ready for the long journey to Third Earth...
45 minutes later...
"Altitude: 2,000 feet and climbing. At this rate, we should be in the New Thundera atmosphere within the next 5 to 10 minutes." I say as I push the throttle down to maximum speed.
"Good. At this rate, we should be coming up on Third Earth in about half an hour to an hour's top." Cheetara says, but a clattering noise from within the baggage hold catches our attention, making us all turn around as the door opens and Bengali, the Thunderkittens and the Snarfs fall into the cockpit in an undignified heap.
"And what are you lot doing here?" I ask, trying to sound mad.
"Do you seriously think that we were going to stay on New Thundera and miss all of the fun?" Bengali asks as he gets up and wipes himself off.
"And considering the fact that you're all here, who's guarding Cat's Lair?" I say as I cross my arms across my chest. They all look sheepish. "Umm...yeah...about that, Lion-O..." Bengali continues as he looks down, looking as if he's willing the ground to swallow him up ""No-one's guarding the lair..."
"You mean to say that you've left the lair UNATTENDED?" I ask as the young Bengal tiger looks nervously at the floor "For Jaga's sake, Bengali! I left you in charge of the lair whilst we're gone, but you go and sneak everyone onto the Feliner!"
"We're so sorry Lion-O," Wilykit says as she hangs her head in shame, then she nudges her brother who does the same "We just wanted to come to Third Earth with you to see Pumyra and Tygra. As they are on a distant planet and are always busy, we NEVER see them."
I laugh slightly before saying "Ok, you two. I'll let you off...once. Now go on, scram!"
Like the mischievous pair that they are, then rush off to their usual spot in the Feliner, whereas Bengali and the Snarfs are left dithering on the flight deck.
"Reow! Lion-O, you know that I go everywhere with you. You need me to keep you safe. I needed to come, because who knows what trouble you could get into without ol'Snarf?" Snarf says as he stands on his tail and looks me in the eye.
I sigh before saying "Ok, I'll let you all off. Besides, the Thunderguard will watch the lair," I turn back around and look at Cheetara. "Bloody stowaways!"
The cheetah laughs before replying. "At least they were honest about it."
I simply sniff then concentrate on the controls.
"Feliner to Cat's Lair, come in Tygra. We should be entering the Third Earth atmosphere in about an hour's time." I say as I adjust the headset on my head. "Tygra here; receiving you loud and clear. See you in about an hour then." his voice says over the intercom, and then the most spine-chilling scream echoes throughout the cockpit, followed by a familiar, raspy voice. "Well, Lion-O. Your foolhardiness has led you to my domain again, eh? Well, you'd better hurry up or Tygra will be a rug on my floor!" Shit! Tygra's in real trouble. This could spell disaster. I growl as Mumm-ra continues "Or are you too scared to face me and fight, cub?"
I look at Cheetara and Panthro then say "Be prepared for anything. This could be a trap."
