[all laughing]

- We're unicorns.

- [all chattering indistinctly]

- [th*gs laughing maniacally]

- Remember the plan, yes?

- [both] Yeah!

- Smash the unicorns.

- Smash them good.

- No, you doofuses.

You can't smash a unicorn

like any normal animal.

Oh, the book again.

Known for its captivating

beauty, the unicorn

- [creature growls]

- [both gasp]

Oh, sorry,

that's the albino pusmother.

The unicorn is one of Third

Earth's most magical creatures.

And they can grant wishes.

What would we even wish for?

Oh, I don't know, maybe

destroying the ThunderCats?

So, no smashing and bashing?

Sorry, old friend.

Ugh!

- Vultureman, do the thing.

- Yes.

[motor revving]

[all] unicorns [yelling]

[all laughing]

Um, you guys?

They're all gone.

Am I really the

last of the unicorns?

[crying]

[sips]

Huh. Who would've known that

Gullrock rock has two heads?

Wow, but three brains?

[sighs] The joy of reading

on a nice, quiet day.

I feel like my brain is about

to explode with knowledge.

Ain't nothing gonna

ruin this moment.

- [footsteps approaching]

- [crash]

[loud music playing on stereo]

[yodeling]

Dance party, Tygra!

Ah, my retinas!

Lion-O, stop that.

Hey, Snarf, uh, a toaster.

Thank you

Lion-O, the Sword of Omens

is a sacred magical object.

Maybe, you'd have

a better appreciation for that

if you quit dancing around

all the time

and read some books like me

and the other ThunderCats.

[all cheering]

- Aw, party's over?

- Yes.

Because magic is serious,

not fun.

You really know

how to rip one, Tygra.

[distant crying]

What's that?

Who's there?

No more unicorns.

All gone.

All gone except for me.

And who are you?

[sniffles]

I am the last of the unicorns.

[crying hysterically]

But, like, what's your name?

Gwen.

[crying]

Why don't you just

tell us what happened

- and we'll go find your other unicorn buddies.

- All right.

It was this morning and

And

Oh! I'm just too sad

to remember.

[crying]

Oh, Gwen.

Don't be crying.

You just got a bad case

of sad brain.

But don't worry,

I've got the cure right here.

Dance party!

[yodeling]

- Lion-o, stop it!

- [grunts]

I mean, no offense, but I'm the

expert in Third Earth wildlife here.

I've read, like, a million

books on magical creatures.

[groans] The book again.

Unicorns like Gwen give birth

to thousands of larva a day.

"Feasting on

the weakest ones."

- [growls]

- Wrong page.

I know this stuff by heart.

Magical creatures are sacred,

precious, and delicate.

What Gwen needs is

[grunts]

[straining] Quiet,

care, and comfort.

Not dance parties, Lion-O.

- Okay, Tygra.

- [all talking indistinctly]

Call me if you

change your mind.

Ain't gonna happen, Lion-O.

- [Gwen crying]

- Oh, sorry about that, Gwen.

Those guys don't know how

to take anything seriously.

What do you say

we get you relaxing?

I'm afraid I've forgotten

how to.

Poor thing.

You're lucky you've

got me around.

I know all the best ways

to unwind.

Now, the first thing

you wanna do

is think of all your

favorite stuff in the world.

[exclaims]

Now, subtract all the silly,

frivolous, and pointless stuff

- like dancing and parties, you know, stuff Lion-O likes.

- Oh.

What you're left with is the

purest, sweetest nectar of life.

- Things like reading books, stirring your tea

- [cup shatters]

- Gardening

- Oh.

- Paperwork, and, uh Oh!

- [crying]

Gwen, what's wrong?

It's just that all those

things are so lame and boring.

Ah, okay,

that's not exactly true

but, all right. What's

something you do to relax?

Mourn the loss of my people.

No, Gwen, you're really

not getting this.

There we go.

A nice relaxing hoofacure.

- You'll love those

- [crying]

- A nice horn polish?

- [crying]

- I knitted you a sweater.

- [crying]

- Cooked you this big, fat fish?

- [crying hysterically]

- Brush your hair?

- [crying hysterically]

- Read you a book?

- [crying hysterically]

Oh, the sadness!

It's not working, Tygra.

It's not working.

[cries hysterically]

[unicorns crying]

Okay, unicorns.

We wish to destroy

the ThunderCats.

[all crying]

Now, give us our wish

or else

- But But

- No buts!

- Hurry up and grant us our wish.

- [crying]

[together] Give us the wish, give

us the wish, give us the wish.

[crying]

I hate this dumb scheme.

We don't get to fight anyone.

Yeah, no smashing and bashing.

Heck, I wish the ThunderCats

were here for fighting.

Don't say that.

You'll jinx everything.

And the ThunderCats will figure out

we have the unicorns, somehow.

I wish Slithe would

stop being such a big baby.

Yeah.

Wait, is this a grenade?

- [expl*si*n]

- I guess so.

Hmm.

Nothing on the Thunderscope.

Has Tygra made

any progress with Gwen?

- [Gwen crying]

- Hmm. Guess not.

- Hmm, nothing here either. Whoa!

- Woe is me. [cries]

Gwen, if you could tell us anything,

it would be super helpful.

Let's start small.

Where's Tygra?

He went out to get

an organic facial scrub,

known for its soothing

properties or something.

- It sees me.

- [creature growling]

[screaming]

I'm sorry, everyone.

I really am trying

to remember.

I'm just so sad.

I'm telling you, Gwen.

There's only one cure for sad

brain and I've got it right

[Tygra]

Don't do it, Lion-O.

I've got the scrub.

You say this will be the

thing that lightens my load?

And rejuvenates my memory?

[grunts]

[whimpering]

[both crying]

Okay, that's it.

Tygra, your plan stinks.

You're just making

everybody sad.

I mean, Gwen looks sadder

than she did this morning.

You've even managed

to make yourself sad, somehow.

I think it's finally time for a

cheer-up-everyone dance party.

No, don't.

It'll never work.

You don't even have the

strength to stop me, Tygra.

Hit it, Snarf.

[music playing]

[yodeling]

Oh! It's coming back to me.

[all exclaiming]

It was the mutants.

Toots. Should've known that.

We're coming for you,

unicorns.

[chanting] Give us the wish, give

us the wish, give us the wish.

- Give us the

- [alarms blaring]

[both] Huh?

[exclaims]

The ThunderCats.

Monkian, Jackalman, get them.

Oh, boy. Now we can

smash and bash them.

- It's about time.

- [both laughing]

- Looks like they're waiting for us.

- [beeping]

Ready, old pal?

Whoa!

Jackalman, look who it is.

Yay!

- ThunderCats!

- And Gwen.

h*!

[whooping]

[exclaims]

You'll pay for that.

Cash or check, Jackalman?

[grunts] Check, please.

Hey.

- Hope you like whatever these are, Monkian.

- [explosions]

Get off me, get off me.

[exclaims in pain]

Hey, no biting!

- [yelling]

- [both grunt]

Well, I think that was enough

smashing and bashing for a day.

- Yeah, let's get out of here.

- [both screaming]

- [Lion-O] Going somewhere, mutants?

- [neighing]

- Nice one, Gwen.

- Thanks, Lion-O.

I'll get you. [grunts]

[both yelling]

The best part of smashing and

bashing is that everyone wins.

Yeah.

There go two winners.

- Now, come on, everybody. Let's go get those unicorns.

- [all] Yeah.

The jig is up, mutants.

Yeah.

Hand us those unicorns.

Just take them.

All they do is cry.

I don't think they can

even grant wishes.

- [grunts]

- [gate rattles]

We only grant wishes

when we're all together.

Yes, since Gwen was missing,

we were powerless.

What? That wasn't in the book.

Why didn't you tell us?

We would have, but you kept

yelling at us and making us cry.

[cries]

Well, we've got Gwen.

So, you don't have

to cry anymore.

Hello, everyone.

- Gwen! Hurray!

- Gwen! Oh, huzzah!

Giddy up, horsies.

I mean, unicorns.

[unicorns exclaiming]

Today was a bad day.

We did it, Thundies.

We saved the unicorns and

reunited Gwen with her pack.

I'm so very happy

with all of you.

But especially with you, Lion-O.

Sorry, I was being such a grump.

Magic is fun.

And you were right

about the party thing.

It's okay,

I still love you, Tygra.

Lion-O, because of your noble deed

all of the unicorns have

decided to grant you one wish.

[exclaims]

- [music playing]

- [whooping]

[Lion-O] Party!

[all whooping]

Thanks for wishing

for this dance party.

That's not what I wished for.

I wished for fancy headphones

for Tygra

so, we could all

have fun together.

[shouting]

Tygra, can you hear me?

What did you say?

[yodeling]
