[video game beeping]

Time to soup this baby up.

[sighs]

[humming]

Food, food, food, yeah.

Well, let's see,

what to eat, what to eat?

Oh. Hello, mac and cheese

from last month.

How you been, ol' buddy?

Huh? What's that?

[bubbles popping]

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

You're right,

I probably

should make a fresh bowl.

But, uh, here we are.

Aah.

[gags, coughs] You win this

round, mac and cheese.

[gagging, coughing]

[groans]

Aw, come on, mac and cheese,

take a hint.

[grunting]

Get in the drain.

It's not me, it's you.

Just get outta here.

[eerie voice] Beware!

What? Who said that?

[eerie voice] Beware!

Mac and cheese?

- Beware!

- [yelps]

The path you choose now will

lead to certain destruction.

Ahh! What is happening?

Jaga, there you are.

I guess we can scratch "kitchen"

off of our Cats' Lair tour.

You already found it.

[chuckles] I love the pipes.

They go everywhere.

Oh, it's just Jaga. That old

guy that exploded on Thundera

and now visits us from the

Astral Plane as a ghost.

Concisely put, Cheetara.

Go ahead, tell my life story,

why don't you?

- [yelps]

- [thud]

Oh, no, Master Jaga,

let me help you.

[groans] I can't

seem to get a grip.

Ooh, that tickles. [giggles]

- [laughs]

- [laughing] Can't catch me.

Come back here,

you little rascal.

[both laughing]

Can't catch

what you can't touch.

- [laughing]

- We'll see about that.

So, uh, hey, Jaga.

What was that whole thing

about "certain destruction?"

What am I supposed

to look out for, exactly?

Eh, You know, like, you got to be

careful or bad stuff might happen.

Uh, yeah, I knew the mac and

cheese was "bad stuff",

that's why I threw it out.

Thanks for the hot tip, ghost.

No, come on.

I mean, bad stuff

like why Thundera exploded.

What? You know

why Thundera exploded?

I thought that was

a mystery for the ages.

Of course,

I know what happened.

I was there.

We were all there,

but I thought no one knew why

Quiet, Tygra,

he's trying to tell us why.

Right, Jaga?

You'll tell us the whole story?

Eh, sure, whatever.

All right.

Story time!

Attention, ThunderCats.

[over intercom] Please convene

for a Thunderian history lesson.

- Ugh, history.

- Boring.

No, thanks.

[Tygra over intercom]

It's gonna be really good.

No, it's not. Never is.

[Tygra over intercom] The ghost of Jaga

will tell us how Thundera exploded.

- Ooh, wha

- [all] Cool.

- We're coming!

- Don't start without us!

This is awesome.

We're finally gonna learn

what caused

our planet's dark fate.

Whoo-hoo! Dark fate!

I love history.

Yeah, history's awesome!

Hey, what's the deal?

None of you wanted to attend

my previous lecture series

on Thunderian history.

I'm sorry.

That's because you didn't

have some ghost talking.

Ghosts make learning fun.

This isn't just some ghost.

You're looking at

the progenitor

of the Code of Thundera.

Got to have some snacks

if some ghost is gonna

tell you a story.

He's not just some ghost.

Hey. Let me get one of those.

Aw, toots.

I keep forgetting

I'm just some ghost.

Now then, let us begin,

shall we?

[clears throat]

For millennia,

Thundera was a beacon

of peace and prosperity.

[all exclaiming]

[imitates woman]

We love being Thundarians.

We're so happy

and prosperous.

[Jaga] And its

technology was

- [telephones ringing]

- the most advanced in all the universe.

Oh, oh, I know what happened.

I bet all that technology

came to life

and there was a robot uprising

that destroyed the planet.

[in robot voice]

Destroy all Thundarians.

We are the computers.

Kaboom!

[in robot voice]

Thundarians eliminated.

Beep, bop, boop, beep.

Hmm, I guess

that seems plausible.

All right, history lesson over.

- Beep, bop boop, beep.

- What? No Jaga, that's not it.

That's just something

Panthro made up.

- I'm sorry.

- Oh, yeah.

All the technology

on Thundera was super nice.

In fact, I dated a robot

for, like, six years.

Here, pass that around.

You guys, no more interrupting.

Just let Jaga talk.

So, you know our enemies?

The Mutants?

Do I ever.

Those guys are class-A jerks.

I know, right?

So, yeah, the Mutants.

They all got in their

dumb spaceship

and were flying around

until one fateful day

when they found Thundera.

[Cheetara] Oh, yeah,

I bet they sent

a thermonuclear

mutant m*ssile

to the planet surface

and blew everything up.

Kaboom!

[all cheering]

Aw, yeah, we're Mutants.

Ooh. Aah.

Come on, what did I say

about interrupting, Cheetara?

- [grumbles]

- No, that can't be right.

Oh, yes.

The Mutants came down

to the surface

and tried to enslave

our people.

However, the Mutants

were stopped in their tracks

by the greatest warrior

in all of Thundera,

who took them on

single-handedly.

- [all exclaim]

- Awesome.

Jaga, who was that

timeless hero?

Oh [giggles] Well

It was me, okay?

Don't worry about it.

[Panthro] Jaga that's so cool.

[Jaga chuckles] Yeah,

I guess that is pretty cool.

Ooh, thanks

for believing in me.

[panting] Whee! Crash!

Wah-pow! Whoo!

Stomp. Stomp.

Kick your head.

Squash, squash.

Ooh, flippy. Flippy.

Punch, punch, punch, punch, punch,

punch, punch, punch, punch.

Yahoo.

And I picked one up even

and I threw him

at some other ones.

And then I did some,

uh, kickies

and then I did more punchies.

Punch, punch, punch,

punch, punch, punch.

Punch, punch, punch,

punch, punch, punch.

Punch, punch, boom!

Kick. Pow.

Ooh. [exclaims]

What's he doing?

I have no idea,

but it's probably really cool.

[Jaga] As I bravely

battled on,

the Mutants called down

their ruler Ratar-O.

[all chanting]

Ratar-O. Ratar-O. Ratar-O.

Ratar-O?

The space rat the size

of an entire planet?

[imitates Ratar-O]

Roar! Kaboom.

[Jaga] Hmm, not sure

where you heard that.

Ratar-O was just

a normal sized rat-man.

About my height, I guess.

And he was all, like, falling.

Pew, from the sky like, pew!

And the dumb Mutants

were super happy

to have their dumb leader.

So now it was time

for two champions

to duke it out.

It was just me vs. Ratar-O.

I just stood there

looking cool,

ready to do something

super awesome.

- [all exclaim]

- Oh, man.

What did you have to do?

Fair warning Lion-O,

you're about to lose it.

Because the next part

of my little yarn

is where I call upon the power

of the Sword of Omens.

You mean this Sword of Omens?

Yeah, man.

Awesome!

I know.

So I summoned

the Sword of Omens

[effort grunts]

and it was all like

[vocalizes] Ah.

[choir vocalizing]

[Jaga] And Ratar-O was all like,

"Meh, I'm gonna fight him

with my dumb weapons."

Pew, pew! Ah, epic battle lightning. Ah!

"I'm gonna get you."

"Oh, no, you're not." [grunts]

Ratar-O didn't stand a chance

against the power

of the Sword of Omens.

[Panthro] Yeah.

You showed Jaga.

[Lion-O] I love that sword.

[Jaga] So he had to call on

his own magic sword.

[imitates harmonica]

Bleh, the Sword of Plun-Darr.

Ooh, that sword

makes me so mad.

- [all gasp]

- This has got to be it.

Not quite.

First our blades danced.

Whoo!

Meh.

Crash! Boom! Bang! Clang!

Crash! Boom! Bang!

You know, actually,

I think I was

taller than rat-man.

And I think maybe he was

wearing an embarrassing shirt.

[all] Jaga, what happened?

[Jaga] So I got

the upper hand

and got Ratar-O,

who was balding,

right where

I wanted him, a corner.

But in one last

desperate move,

the wretch plunged

the Sword of Plun-Darr

into the ground.

[rumbling]

Rumble, rumble,

rumble, rumble!

Aah, everything's

breaking apart!

[exclaiming]

I bet it caused the Thundrillium

Power Plant to overheat and explode.

No way, it opened up

a big old black hole

and the whole planet

was sucked right up.

Ooh, ah, it summoned

a giant space rat.

- Panthro, that was my idea.

- I'm sorry.

[all clamoring]

Those are all pretty good.

[whistle blowing]

Everyone, just cool it.

Jaga is trying to tell you

what happened to your home.

Be respectful and stop trying

to throw in your nonsense.

[all] I'm sorry.

Jaga?

Hmm, I could've said,

"No onions."

Huh? Oh, right.

Still not done, I guess.

So then

I just punched the rat man

in the face

and took the sword

out of the ground.

Our home, Thunder World,

was saved.

Whoo-hoo.

Isn't that happy?

Awesome.

Oh, so that's how

Thundera was saved.

Wait, I'm sorry, Master Jaga.

Isn't this story

about how Thundera exploded?

Uh, what?

Oh. Oh, yeah.

In the wrong hands,

the Sword of Plun-Darr

could crack planets in half.

So I needed

to seal it away forever.

And I knew the only place

it would be safe

would be deep inside

the heart of a volcano.

So I journeyed up

the largest volcano

on Thundera

and cast

the Sword of Plun-Darr

deep into its molten maw.

And, I guess, eventually,

it sunk into the planet's core

and, like,

a bunch of years later,

it made the planet explode.

- Awesome.

- That was incredible.

Riveting.

Wait, uh, hold on.

Does that mean you caused

the destruction of Thundera?

Hmm, I guess so.

Whoopsies. [chuckles]

And that is why you should

never shove cutlery

into unknown chasms.

Because you may inadvertently

cause the destruction

of an entire planet.

Oh, cool. Got it.

Great. Jaga out.

So Thundera exploded

because Jaga made

a big "whoopsie?"

[gasps] There's

a second bathroom?

Just not what I expected,

is all.

Come on, Tygra.

That story was awesome.

I loved hearing about Jaga

kicking all that Mutant butt.

- Pow!

- [laughs] Kaboom.

Come on, Tygra, Jaga didn't

mean to blow up Thundera.

He just didn't know

how powerful

the Sword of Plun-Darr was.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

I wonder where

the Sword of Plun-Darr is now.

Eh, probably destroyed

in the expl*si*n or something.

Sounds convincing enough to me.

I'm gonna rest easy tonight

knowing that

the Sword of Plun-darr

was safely destroyed

in the expl*si*n of Thundera.

Yeah, Sounds good. -I feel

pretty good about that.

[Lion-O]

Nothing to worry about.

[Tygra whimpering]

[laughs]

At last!

I'm coming

for you, ThunderCats.

Ow. sh**t.

Come back here!
