New Thundera.

The planet New Thundera was divided into several extremely different zones, the only similarity being that one would have to be equipped with special gear to survive in their climates.  A few of these zones were each influenced by a Moon of Plundarr; the Moons of Plundarr were from where the Luna-tacks had come.  In one of these weird biomes, the only way to see anything was to have infrared vision.  This zone had a Moon of Plundarr, the one from which Red-Eye came, in a tidal lock right above it.  Another of the strange biomes of the planet was controlled by the Moon of Plundarr from which Chilla came, the biome being called the Caverns of Cold.  Whenever one visited this biome, one had to be properly equipped with body-warming articles.  Any part of the body shown to the cold, save the face, might no longer be functional.

            In yet another mysterious biome of this world, the gravity was so strong that one from Earth might be crushed.  This was controlled by the Moon of Plundarr from which Tug-Mug came.  One would have to be equipped with super-spring-gear, such as that had by the Thunder Cats.  In yet another biome of this world, a meadow-like canyon, one could be transformed into a child if one were not careful!  Another area, a rather barren biome with vast networks of underground caverns, used to be controlled by Mumm-ra; it had a Pyramid in the centre on the surface!  This Pyramid was destroyed when Lion-O first defeated Mumm-ra on New Thundera.

            Underneath this Pyramid, still smashed, Mumm-ra and the Plundarrians were hiding out, as was marked by the Luna-tacks' Sky Tomb on the outside.  "If I get my hands on those Silver Hawks again," said Mumm-ra, "I'll crush them like an egg-shell."

            "When do you suppose the so-far-linked evil-doers will find us?" asked Luna.

            Mumm-ra said, "I do not know.  I am not going to go out in that intense rain to look for them, that's for sure.  It's so wet out there that all of my bandages would get soaked."

            "Well," said Aluro, "if they don't find us soon, I'm going to look for them."

            "You'd be plain loco to go out in that rain, Aluro!" said Chilla.  "You would be washed away."

            "It would probably be better than sitting here on my rear all day.  I thought that von(Bowser)Koopa had powerful location systems."

            "I wonder what he is up to, anyway," said Luna.  "It cannot be tiddlywinks, that's for sure."

            * * *

            About a kilometre away from the cliff overlooking Mumm-ra's crushed Pyramid, the Silver Hawks and Thunder Cats had all arrived through a warp.  "Darn!  It's raining here also!" said Steelheart.

            "At least we're not in the Caverns of Cold!" said Lion-O.  "It's colder there than it is in the tundra or Antarctic region of your Earth in winter."

            "Now that would be awfully damn cold!" said Stargazer.

            "Please, Stargazer," said Steelheart.

            "Sorry, Steelheart," said Stargazer.

            Steelwill said, "Now, let's get over to that Pyramid and blast off Mumm-ra's bandages!"  All the Silver Hawks and Thunder Cats ran towards the Pyramid.

            * * *

            Guess who was above New Thundera in the presently cloaked Flagship of the Koopa Fleet?  You guessed it. . . Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa, King Bowser the Terrible, and Queen MotherBrain, not to mention all the Koopalings, Eggplant Wizard, King Hippo, Ridley, Dr. Wily, ProtoMan, Mouser, Koopa-Troopa, and Try-Clyde!  (This is beginning to get a little too predictable. . .)  Along for the ride with them was the villainous mutt Mega Volt!

            "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" laughed Mega Volt, sparks popping out of the connectors on his head.  "Those Silver Boobs think they can get to the Pyramid before we can, eh?  Well, I'll get down there and give them the shock of their lives!  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  Warp me down, Eggplant Dodo!"

            Ludwig asked, "What will you do down there, Mega Volt?"

            "I am going to fry the Silver Hawks' wings off, then raise some evil static with the Thunder Kitties!  Ha, ha, ha!"

            "I want you to know one thing before going down, Mega Volt," said Ludwig.

            "What might that be?" asked Mega Volt.

            "Have a good time!  Ha, ha, ha!"

            "Oh, I definitely intend to do that!  Ha, ha, ha!  Warp me down before I fry you, Eggplant Wizard."  Eggplant Wizard warped Mega Volt down to the surface near the cliff.

            * * *

            "We're almost there," said Steelheart.  "Just a few more metres."

            "Am I hallucinating," said Steelwill, "or is that Mega Volt?"

            Steelheart said, "Don't be silly, Will.  How could it be. . . It's really Mega Volt!!!"

            "Yes, it is I, Mega Volt, who am here to relieve you of your worthless steel and fur!  Ha, ha, ha!"  Mega Volt was sparking from head to toe.  He asked an imaginary audience, "Do you ever get that creepy déjà vu {dáy-zhah vü} feeling?"  He blasted the Silver Hawks and Thunder Cats with his wicked wattage!  "I still have to waste you guys, though!  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"  Someone blasted his rear with a laser, at which time he promptly stopped zapping and leapt up into the air.  "Yaaaaaah!  Ow!"  He fell on the ground.  "Oof!  WHO THE HECK DID THAT?!?!?"

            "It was I, Captain N!" answered the perpetrator, Captain N, with his Zapper pointed at the villain.

            "What are you doing here?" demanded Steelheart.  "Boy, talk about someone being in the right place at the right time!"  Mega Volt got up and went over to Captain N.

            Mega Volt said, "I'm going to waste you, Captain Nice-guy!"

            Captain N said, "To partially quote Darkwing Duck, suck water, villain!"  Captain N put his Zapper on a water setting and short-circuited Mega Volt with a stream of water.

            Mega Volt screamed, "Yaaaaaaaaaaaah!  I'm being short-circuited!  Yaaaaaah!"  Mega Volt fell on his back.

            Captain N asked, "Ready to give up?"  Mega Volt pointed his finger at Captain N.  He tried to blast him with lethal voltage, but only fizzle came out.

            Mega Volt said, "Electricity. . . I need electricity."  Captain N set his Zapper on 'protons.'

            Captain N said, "Whatever you say!"  He blasted Mega Volt with protons from his Zapper.

            "Yaaaah!  No!!!  Not protons, you fool!!!  The lightning will electrocute me!!!" cried Mega Volt.

            "How shocking!" said Captain N.  When Captain N had finished zapping Mega Volt with the Zapper, a lightning bolt came down and fried Mega Volt.

            Mega Volt screamed, "Yaaaaaaaaah!!!  I'm being fried!!!"  When the lightning bolt stopped frying him, Mega Volt was sparking from head to toe.  "Whoa!  Just call me, 'Sparkie!'  And, by the way, don't.  Thank you, Kevin, for helping me get more electricity than I've ever had before!"

            "Oops!" said Kevin nervously to Steelheart.  "Heh, heh, serious boo-boo!"

            "You should know," said Steelheart, "that electrons are attracted to protons!"  Kevin gulped.

            "Sorry!  I knew that!  I never dealt with someone like Mega Volt before!"

            "Gee, I suppose I ought to fry you guys now," said Mega Volt, "but I just haven't the heart."  He thought for a moment.  "What heart?  I don't even have one!  Ha, ha, ha!"  He fried the Silver Hawks, Thunder Cats, and Kevin with his newly gained lethal wattage.  "Watt's the matter, guys?  Getting the shock of your lives?  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"  He modified his shocking beam to wrap up the good-guys; they were not being shocked, but they were all tied up.  This was Mega Volt's electro-prison.  "I'm going to Mumm-ra's tomb, and you are coming with me!  Ha, ha, ha!"  Using his dangerous amperage, he easily carried along the Silver Hawks, Thunder Cats, and Kevin while proceeding to the Pyramid.  "Ah, Sky Tomb!" said Mega Volt.  "Okay, guys, stay put. . . as if you had any choice!"  He 'put them down' in front of Sky Tomb (the unfortunate heroes still entrapped in a ring of wattage) and proceeded to enter the Pyramid.

            Mumm-ra was growing more restless.  "If they don't find us soon, I'll go stark crazy!"

            "Oh, don't let that bother you," said Mega Volt.  "I've fried your enemies!  Ha, ha, ha!"

            "Who are you?"

            "I am Mega Volt, the master of evil electrons.  My team, the Fearsome Ten, is affiliated with Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa's Brain-Team."

            "Any proof?" asked Luna.

            "Just focus the waters of the cauldron on the area just twelve metres north of this Pyramid!" said Mega Volt wickedly.  Mumm-ra spread his arms out above the cauldron.  The cauldron showed them the Thunder Cats and Silver Hawks electrified.  Mega Volt got out a device and pressed a button in the middle of it.  "At any moment, Ludwig von(Bowser)Koopa will beam us into his Doomship."  In a moment, they all disappeared from the room in the Pyramid and reappeared in the main room of the cloaked Doomship.

            "Good work, my electron-tossing pal!" said Ludwig.

            "Ludwig!" exclaimed Mumm-ra.  "It is good to meet you finally!"

            "Mega Volt," said Ludwig, "have your fiendish wattage warp those do-gooders to Metroid.  I'll deal with them!  Ha, ha, ha!"

            Mega Volt snapped his fingers.  "Easier done than said!  Ha, ha, ha!"  The wattage quickly transported the Silver Hawks, Thunder Cats, and Captain N to Metroid.  "There, Prince!  They're at Metroid!  Now what?"

            "Now," said Ludwig, "I want you, my exhilaratingly beautiful MotherBrain, to go to Metroid and make things very uncomfortable for Mega Volt's prisoners. . . and to cloak Metroid!  Hee, hee, hee!"

            "Oh, I shall, I shall!" said MotherBrain.  "Eggplant Wizard, King Hippo, Dr. Wily, and ProtoMan, come with me.  It's time to start cooking some good-guys for dinner, with Darkwing-paté as the main course!  Ha, ha, ha!  These do-gooders are just appetisers!  Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

            "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Mega Volt.  "You definitely have my permission!  You can fricassee them until they are so burnt that, if a quarter-pound weakling tapped them, they would disintegrate!  Ha, ha, ha, ha!"  All the wicked villains laughed their devilish hearts out.
