They arrived at the Cat's Lair wit their cargo. Lion-o carried her to the empty room close by. He quietly laid her on the soft bed. "Snarf, make sure she's ok."Snarf nodded and Lion-o went back to help the others.  Tygra arrived in the Feliner when Lion-o got to the landing bay. He helped unpack the books to the storeroom. Tygra looked at the books while he was working.
    "It's been a long time since I've seen books like these.  So how is our guest?" He placed the old scrolls in  the crate.
    "Sleeping. Strange woman, why do you think she's tattooed like that." Lion-o asked.
    Tygra's eyes lit up. "Tattooed. How?"
    "She has three greenlines across her face."
    He grabbed Lion-o's arm hard. "Was she a tiger?"
    "Yes, Do you know her?" Lion-o asked but Tygra took off before he could answer. He raced to her room nearly stepping on Snarf when he opened the door.
    "Tearna, Isit you?" He brushed her long red and black hair away from her face. The finegreen lines across her nose and cheeks only added to her exotic face. The thick black stripes that covered her body gave her a singular quality but he deep red color was what he loved most. "Yes, it is." he thought as he touched her face, making her stir.
    "You still look so beauitful, my lady." She opened her dark blue eyes to see her love. A face she never thought she'd ever see.
    "Tygra, where am I? she asked hoping that he wouldn't tell her she was dead.
    "Third Earth. In the Cat's Lair." He looked so much older then when she last saw him. HIs lovely rd mane turning gray at the sides, his face slightly wrinkled. "How long have I been slleping?"
    "Its been 18 years, I don't think I'd ever see you again." he kisses her softly, "I missed you."
    Wilykit walks in. "So you two know each other."
    He beams a great smile. "This is Tearna, my wife." She squeezed his hand pulling him closer. "Did you see Hamoltel and Leona? They should have landed the same time as me."
    Kit's eyes lowered. "Tygra, I need to talk to you outside." They stepped outside the door.
    "What is it?" Tygra asked.
    "We found a girl when we arrived but she was dead."
    "What did she look like?"
    "I don't know, Panthro and wilykat were the ones that found her."
    He ran back to the landing bay hoping to find them. Panthro was repairing the thundertank when he stormed in. "Panthro what did the girl look like that you and Kat found. Did she look like a lion?"
    "No,A leopard. Did you know her?"
    "Where's her body?"
    "Back in the forest, we were going back once the lunatacs left."
    "There was no one else?"
    Panthro shook his head. "No." he ran to the control room and scanned the area. Lion-o watched him check every detail.
    "Nothing. How can I tell her that her sisters are dead. She's been through so much." He looks at lion-o, "I need to go get her. I don't want her left to the wolves and the last thing I want to do is tell Tearna that we left her out there."
    lion-o nodded. "Take the Feliner, friend. We'll watch over her."

    Tearna was getting impatient and worried. They left her without a word. She started walking down the hall when she met up with Snarf.
    "You should be in bed." Snarf said taking her hand and trying to lead her back to bed.
    "Why? I just want to know where Tygra is." She pulled her hand away from the snarf.
    "I don't know. Just go back in your room and wait for him, He'll be back soon." she sneered at the snarf giving her orders.
    "Why do I bother asking snarfs anything." Her eyes glowed and she took his hand. "Take me to him now!" she ordered. he led her to the control room. She growled when she looked at lion-o.
    "This isn't Tygra!"
    "Hello I'm Lion-o Lord of the Thundercats. Welcome to the Cat's LAir." He said, trying to sound pleasent while she snarled at him.
    "Where's Tygra? I asked him where my sisters were then he just left. What is wrong? What happened to them?" She ordered.
    "I hate to be the one to tell you this but we only fond you and another girl but..."He hesitated to say, "she died. Tygra is coming back with her body right now." She fell to her knees. "Only one?'
    " Yes. He scanned the area but found nothing."
    A tear rolled down her cheek. "What did she look like?"
    "Dark brown leopard with greed lines tattoed across her face." She weakly smiled.
    "Hamoltel, then Leona may still be alive."

    Leona woke to find herself locked inside the suspension pod. She pounded against the glass for a few moments when she heard the voices of her captors. She closed her eyes and hoped for the best.
    "Wake up!" TugMug yelled and slapped her face. As he moved to slap her again she grabbed his arm.
    "Don't ever hit me again." She flashed her eyes and he stepped back. it gave her enough time to run but was stopped at the door by Alluro.
    "Your not going anywhere, there's no place to run. You should just give up." He said, trying to use his hypnosis on her.
    "Your mind tricks can't work on me, you ugly creature." She growled.
    "then maybe this will." He hits her in the head with his club, knocking her out cold.
    "Oh great, now what are we going to do with her?" TugMug groaned.
    "set her to work in the mine till we think of something." Alluro carried her down to the thundrillium mine.
