Lion-o's room, the Cat's Lair, Old Thundera (Early summer in Fandom time)

He was in bed and should have been asleep, but Lion-o was wide awake, playing around with his cell phone (not dirty). Snarf, who was curled up at the foot of the bed, glared at him. "Just a moment," said Lion-o as Snarf opened his mouth to grumble once more. "I just need a few more minutes to book my portal back to Fandom."

"You should have done that earlier, but you still have plenty of time to do that, snarf snarf. We won't be going back to Fandom for a while, and little cubs need their sleep," Snarf whined.

"Aww, c'mon, Snarf! I just turned 15. I'm not going to be little forever," protested Lion-o. "And I've been trying to reach Portalocity since we first got home, but I've this is the first time it's worked. I've been having lots of trouble reaching them. Panthro said it could be interference from the geomagnetic instability, whatever that means."

( The beginning of the end )

Aboard the Thundercats flagship (Early summer in Fandom time)

Lion-o was fast asleep in his bed on the Thundercats flagship when Cheetara came to wake him. "Sorry, Lion-o, but Jaga needs to see you on the bridge right away."

Snarf was already protesting even as Lion-o climbed our of bed. "The boy needs his sleep, snarf snarf! He's had a very long day and not a lot of rest."

"Aw, c'mom Snarf. I'm practically grown-up!" Lion-o reminded him, but the Snarf rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Snarf, but it's Jaga's orders," said Cheetara, staying safely out of the debate. "I hope it won't take too long."

( If he is to rule, he must learn to take the bad with the good. Warning: character death )

( Lion-o and Snarf raced down the corridor, turned a corner and headed into the sword chamber… )
