Lion-O took position behind a large lump of sandstone and every few seconds used the Sword of Omens to send an energy stream towards the Lavinian warriors, causing them to scatter looking for their own shelter. On either flank of the lion was a tiger; Bengali and Tygra. They each used their pulse pistol to halt, or at least slow down the vastly superior forces heading their way.
“You never said there would be this many!!” Tygra called out to Lion-O in between bursts of fire.
“I know…fun, isn’t it?” he called back earnestly.
The group had considered using the Sword of Omens to fire a constant energy beam at the console (through Schwenk if necessary) to disrupt the five energy streams from the Claws. Tygra, though, had advised against this course of action. He asked what would happen when more energy was added to an energy weapon of this sort. Sveta had insisted that this wasn’t an energy weapon, but agreed that once the whole planet had been vaporised, what is was defined as would’ve been academic.
“Can you see the girls?” Bengali called out to Lion-O.
“No…but they’ll be fine…they know what they need to do…” he replied as he cut down to Lavinian soldiers who had come too close for comfort.
“They’re getting closer!! What do we do??” Tygra yelled.
“We stick to the plan!!”
Schwenk looked left and right for an escape route. This was becoming too real for him now. Both directions were blocked by fire fights and he reckoned fate was looking for any reason to hit him with a stray shot. He cowered by the console. Then a few rounds hit just above his head. They had been fired by a Lavinian; a last dying act as his weapon whirled around as they both fell. He briefly stood up and removed the cube from it’s place and pocketed it. He was relieved to see that the world hadn’t ended when he did that. What he wasn’t to know, however, was that by removing the cube the energy bridge was closed now at both ends. So no fresh troops could join the fray. In fact…he has just vaporised the two hundred troops that were in transit, thus making him the most successful warrior of the battle at that time.
“It has to be me!! It’s my responsibility!” she said.
“No, no…you have more talents that you can be used for…I'll go!”
“Damn you…He’s MINE!!” she snarled.
“No, I can do this…” Pumyra reasoned. “Look…if there is anyone here with whom I can pick a fight…it’s Schwenk…the others need your fighting help!!”
“Promise me...you won’t kill him!! You’ll give him to me!” she looked at the puma. “Wait…what am I saying? You’re right…give him shit, sister!”
“I will…you know what you’ve got to do?”
“Tygra told me…wish me luck!”
“We all need luck at the moment and Pumyra slipped away into the shadows, but heading to battle. Sveta nodded and headed towards the portal.
The huge boulders behind which the three males were fighting were being gradually reduced to dust with the constant barrage of laser pulses.
“We cannot last much longer!!” Bengali snarled as he took the head off one of Grune’s men, who was only a few metres away.
“We shouldn’t need to….keep going!” Lion-O broke cover and started strafing all in front of him. Some were lucky and managed to get out of the way, behind rocks. Other caught the full discharge and were cut to ribbons. Tygra and Bengali also stood and fired until the barrels of their weapons glowed orange.
“Don’t just hide there!!! Attack them!!” Pertinax roared from just out of range.
Several Lavinians broke cover, firing their weapons at the three cats who dared attack them. One shot caught Bengali’s right leg and he crumpled to the floor. The warrior who shot Bengali did not live long to enjoy his success as Tygra shot him twice; once in the head, once in the throat, and his battle was over. Lion-O caught movement from beyond the immediate carnage and he roared. “Thundercats –HO!!” and then he and Tygra joined the stricken white tiger and lay down their weapons.
“We surrender!!” Lion-O roared.
Grune and Pertinax looked at each other, then at the smoking carnage.
“CEASEFIRE!!” they both roared and their men stopped firing.
There was smoke everywhere, acrid and thick. There were wounded soldiers, groaning in various states of disrepair and there were the dead. Some had simple holes through their armour. Some were just body parts scattered across the field of battle.
“Where are the other troops?” Pertinax growled to Grune.
“Never mind that for now…Now we have won…” Grune growled in response. They both walked towards the back of the field, towards the surrendered cats.
“Surrender?? About the first sensible thing you did! Did you really think you would beat us all?” Grune smirked.
“It was worth a try…We had to do something to stop the madness you’ve created. Lion-O replied. “I don’t think you really know what you’ve done here…You’ve signed the death warrant of millions…and you’re not safe yourself!”
“He really is as arrogant as you said, Grune! Three cats against my army, such that it is…What a ludicrous notion!!” he snorted. “Well, enjoy your lives that we spared…you will not live long…I shall make an example of you all when we take control…”
Schwenk suddenly realised that the firing had stopped. He removed his head from his foetal position and looked around. He noticed that all the troops were now clustered near the back, where the Thundercats had attacked them from .
“Hah!! Finally on the winning bloody side!!” he smirked and placed the cube back into its slot.
“Give it up Schwenk!!” came a voice from behind him. He swung around and saw Pumyra.
“You? What…wouldn’t they send a real Thundercat?” he smirked. “Don’t worry. I'll accept your surrender…I'll make sure you do not get executed…In fact, I may just keep you for myself…” he leered.
“You’re a sick bastard, Gaston…I could’ve helped you…In fact…I still can!”
“Help??” he looked to his left then right. “From what? Unicorns? Fairies? The bogeyman?? You’re mad…you did well to get to me alive…but for what?” he shrugged.
“Last chance, Schwenk…” she declared.
“Piss of, girly!” he spat back. He then hit the floor as Pumyra unleashed a swift roundhouse kick to the head.
“What the fuck?!” he said, groggily. He then rolled and stood, ready to defend himself. “Big mistake, Pumyra…I didn’t want to spoil your good looks, but luckily you haven’t got any…”
Pumyra rocked lightly on her feet. “Oh no…the big, bad human is being mean to me…” she launched another attack. This time she didn’t have the element of surprise and caught her on the left cheek with a right hook. It hurt his fist and it hurt her face. She just about managed to keep her balance and she swung a leg and caught his ankle. He yelped in pain and wasn’t ready for the next kick that doubled him over.
“You bastard…You’ve got some severe retribution coming your way…” she went to kick him again, but he caught her foot and twisted. Pumyra flipped and tumbled away from him.
“Oh…she’s got the moves, but fuck all else…” Schwenk sneered and he went after her. Pumyra grabbed a piece of rock that had chipped of a boulder and threw. It caught his right shoulder and it stopped his progress. He winced in pain.
“Pathetic…such a low pain threshold!” she ran at him and tackled him to the ground. She thumped him in the face and he right hooked her back; this time he got a great connection and there was a ‘crack’ as her nose broke. Both of her hands went to her face as hot blood spurted out. He then punched a one-two on each of her breasts and pushed her off of him. Schwenk then grabbed a bunch of hair and helped her up.
“Fucking bitch!!” he spat. “Forget fucking you…I'll have your fucking head on a fucking spike on the wall of my…fucking castle!!” he ranted. “Poor little puma…thought she could actually beat me in a fight…and look at you. Fucking failure!! What the fuck were you thinking??” he snarled as he bled from facial wounds. In a flash, and catching Schwenk off-guard she spun around and bit deep into his left bicep. He howled in agony, a sound that bounced around the whole field. He punched her head; once, twice…and third time, until she was groggy.
“You useless cunt!! I’d better get antibiotics for this, you filthy bitch! Time to give up, darling!!” he sneered. “You fail!!”
Pumyra, through the fog of concussion spat her words. “I….win…”
“What??” he couldn’t believe his ears. “How? Did you have a wager that it would all go tits up for you? A bet that the others would surrender?? Hmmm…I can’t hear you, bitch…How did you win?”
Pumyra spoke very softly. Schwenk leaned in. “I…win…I gave…Sveta…enough…time…” Schwenk brow furrowed as he couldn’t work out what she was saying. “Sve…” his eyes widened. He looked left and right.
Nothing!
“Hey…you there!” he called to one of Grune’s men. “Was there a female up there? Did she surrender too??”
“Fuck you, human!!” the solider grunted. Pumyra chuckled. Schwenk punched her, winding her and ending her mirth. He looked at the scrum of soldiers at the other end of the field. He saw that they were looking at him, pointing. No. Wait. They were…pointing past him. He dropped the half dead puma and spun around.
Against the throbbing blue of the portal was…a figure. A silhouette. He already knew who it was and she placed a small metal box on the ramp and ran.
“What the….FUUUUUUCK!!!” he started running towards the ramp then skidded to a stop as it suddenly emitted a strong red light. Instantly the portal wobbled and emitted an ominous sound. There was initially a soft, warm breeze flowing from the portal outwards. Now the breeze stopped and the air held it’s breath. Schwenk looked down and saw the oddest thing. A dried up leaf blew past his feet, towards the portal, yet there was still no wind. Then he saw dust, small particles of stone also heading towards the portal. He looked up and then ran. The opposite direction that Sveta had ran, but, critically, away from the portal.
“Who…who’s that??” Ayos pointed towards the portal.
“No idea…go and get them!!” Pertinax ordered. Just then they all saw a red light and everything seemed to shimmer like heat haze.
“What is Schwenk doing? Why’s he not at the control? He’s looking at his feet…wait…he’s running…” Grune growled. “Jinx! Go get him!!” and the panther ran off. Tygra looked at Lion-O
“Pumyra looks injured…she’s too close…” he whispered.
“There is a motionless figure by the console…Go and bring them here!!” Pertinax ordered a troop of his soldiers.
There was a clap of thunder and the earth shook once more.
“What’s going on??” Pertinax looked around.
“I'll tell you what’s going on…” Lion-O spoke. “Shore leave is over…Sveta, one of the Guardians of the Claws of Chaos, has just configured a shield generator to fire straight into the portal…”
“Oh? And what will that little box do??” he scoffed.
“It’s simple…It will reverse the flow of matter. It will balance the books of both universes…If you’ve brought one thousand tons of material across the bridge…guess what? Its about to head back…”
There was another earth-shaking rumble and Pertinax watched as two soldiers, who were on their way to collect Pumyra were lifted of their feet and were sucked into the portal. The rest of that troop now scrabbled desperately to make distance, but they too were starting to be dragged towards the bridge. Pumyra, barely conscious, was dragged towards the portal but was halted by the stone console and she remained wedged there. The console rocked alarmingly as the tidal force increased.
Schwenk had made some good distance and neared the ‘fifth digit’. There was barely any pull here and he had thoroughly intended to out a few more kilometres between him and the increasing disaster. He had no desire to end up in that universe! A huge figure jumped out in front of him.
“You!!” Sveta snarled. “The rat flees the sinking ship!”
He gulped. “Actually…that’s pretty much a myth…but…I get the point…” and he did get the point. The point of the sword against his throat.
“No need for any silliness. Danger averted. I sabotaged the machine and saved the world…” he spoke nervously. Sveta increased the pressure on the sword. A drop of red appeared on his throat.
“Liar!!” she growled.
“OK…well-spotted…Point is…there will be no invasion now…”
“You killed my friend!!”
Schwenk frowned at this.
“Friend? Killed? Who?” he protested.
“Oswyn the ferryman!”
“WHAT?! No!! No way…I left him alive!!” he protested.
“Ah ha!! So you were there then!?” Sveta grinned evilly.
“I arrived by the river in town. He gave me coffee and a towel…and a brazier…” he whimpered.
“He did all that and then you fucking murdered him!!”
“I DID NOT! I SWEAR!!” he protested again. A huge rumble shook the whole area and the third digit started crumbling and threatened collapse. Schwenk looked past Sveta and saw opportunity.
“You’re wasting time…While we stand here chatting, Pumyra is about to get sucked into the portal…”
“Nice try, scum!!” she spat disbelieving. Schwenk dropped to the floor and lay out flat. “Look…I cannot move anywhere…” Sveta was taken aback but did spare one cautious glance.
“Shit!!!” and leaving Schwenk on the ground she took off for the limp puma.
Schwenk smirked from his position on the ground. “Someone loves me…” he chuckled.
“How right you are…” Jinx said from above him. The panther then sat heavily on him. “Let’s play…”
The main area was pandemonium. Everyone was one the move towards the portal. Soldiers were scrabbling at rocks, their sharp claws raking the stone and the soil and each other. They were all trying to stay in contact with something. Increasingly, those nearest the portal were lifted into the air and then sucked in as the wind into the portal turned from a breeze into a hurricane. Tents folded, flapped and eventually flew into the other universe. The main lab rattled as it’s nearest edge was steadily being attracted towards the portal. Ayos was trying to get to the building when he lost his footing and flew towards the portal. He managed to grab one last rock. He felt something heavy grab his leg. It was Pertinax.
“Hold on my Lord…we can hold on a wait this out. As soon as the mass is balanced this will close down…” he predicted. Pertinax, using his claws climbed up Ayos. Ayos howled in pain, but clung on for his leader.
“Well then…the sooner we reach that mass the better…” he elbowed Ayos heavily in the face, shattering his nose and cheekbone. One hand instinctively grabbed his face and he then flew, tumbling head over tail into the vortex. Pertinax’s victory was short-lived as the boulder he clung too became uprooted. Pertinax plus boulder flew into the portal. Presumably the other end would have Pertinax followed by a very heavy boulder. An unpleasant thought for Pertinax.
Sveta used her sword and a short dagger as pegs to keep her in place on the shifting soil. She made haste towards Pumyra who was starting to hover, like a leaf caught in an eddy. Sveta knew she’d have little time. From her haversack she withdrew a whip and tied one end to the pommel of her sword and the other to her belt. The haversack was then ripped from her grasp. With all of her night she drove the sword deep into the soil and at that moment she flew. With one shot at it, she grabbed the floating puma and hung on for grim death. They were both like a kite, struggling in a hurricane. Sveta knew all she could do was hang on and hope.
“Jinx!! Are you mad…We’ve got to get out of here!! The world is going to hell in a hand basket…” Schwenk pleaded.
“Time enough for my company, human…” he grinned as he took his pants off. Schwenk felt himself move, in fact, the whole ground moved as the topsoil shifted like a loose layer in an avalanche.
“JINX!!!!” he screamed as they motion became faster. Jinx looked up and around, only to be met with a branch to the face from a felled tree. The face smashing crunch was enough to slow the pair down briefly. Schwenk saw his chance and grabbed on to his lucky branch with his working right arm. The bitten left arm hang limply to his side. The unconscious panther floated up, sans pants and was sucked towards the portal. Schwenk watched him go all the way.
“Hope you enjoy that universe, you cunt!” the whole tree swayed and it seemed that his saviour tree was now quite content to skip universes too.
“Fuck!”
Lion-O and Tygra both held on tightly to Bengali. The force was so strong that they strained hard just to keep grip. Tygra’s grip loosened and Bengali took off.
“NOOOOO!!!!” he roared in anger and frustration. But Bengali’s trip only last a few seconds as he landed heavily on his shot leg. Bengali howled in agony and then, thankfully passed out.
“What happened?” Tygra asked.
They looked at the portal and in disbelief as the lab/medical building, which had entered the portal shuddered to a stop and then, with an incredible ‘bang’ everything went dark.
“Is it over?” Tygra asked Lion-O.
“I bloody hope so!!” he whispered.
Pumyra and Sveta hit the ground hard and they both realised (Sveta more than Pumyra) that the portal had slammed shut, the masses of the universes balancing up with half a building being the dessert course.
“Pumyra….Pumyra…are you alright??”
The puma groaned.
“I'll take that as a yes…” she looked at the now nearby building. “Wait here…let me get some meds for that mincemeat face of yours.
Schwenk scrabbled around in the shattered infirmary. It was pitch black and he felt his way around. He then used his small cigarette lighter to see ahead. There is was…the regenerist. With that tech he could made a fortune. He crawled towards it. He froze as he heard movement behind him and a soft growl.
