Thundercats Meet Star Fleet
Part 1

Disclaimer/Author’s notes: Don’t own any rights to Thundercats. The characters Isabella and Lieutenant Terran are mine. This is my first crossover ever and I start with Star Trek.  More or less we know that the Thundercats is set in the future but how far is the question.  Well the setting for this story is in the late 24th century during the time of the Dominion war. However, you’ll see more of the cats than Star Trek.

*****
At the crack of dawn, every morning, Cheetara was usually the first one up.  She would go for a run before everyone else would wake for the day’s duties.  But before she would take her run, she’d go into the control room and take a quick sweep of the area that she was going to run to make sure there was going to be no Mutant activity or Mumm-ra.

But when she got to the control room, she found the room wasn’t empty as it usually was for this time of day.  By the monitor, in the shadows, was a man that was tall and muscular looking.  She knew right away that it was her leader, Lion-O.

“Lion-O, what are you doing up this early in the morning?” Cheetara asked her leader.

“I couldn’t sleep so I decided to check things out around the lair,” Lion-O said turning to Cheetara.  “I take it that you are always up this early?”

“Yes.  I usually take a little run before the rest of you get up.  It’s actually what helps me to have more energy for the day.”

“I see.”

“Lion-O, is something wrong? Cheetara asked.  She noticed that Lion-O wasn’t his cheery self, which he usually was in the morning.

“Actually, Cheetara something is wrong,” Lion-O said to his trusted friend.  “We’ve been living here for three years now and sometimes I’m not sure if I’m doing things right.”

“Lion-O, as Willa once said.  ‘It’s human to make mistakes’.”

“I know.  I remember the day she said that.  But we are not human.  But sometimes I feel like we are.  To the humans we are half cats and half human.”

“What I think your problem is you’re not afraid of making mistakes but what the human race thinks about us,” Cheetara said.  “You do know that there is still a lot more humans that haven’t met us yet.”

“Yes, I know.  Willa said there’s an organization called the Federation and their main head quarters is called Star Fleet and its here somewhere on the planet.”

“Yes in a place called San Francisco, which is on the other side of the planet.  Through the Federation, that is how other aliens were populated here.”

“How do you know so much about this Star Fleet?” Lion-O asked.

“Just from hear say.  Mostly from the Berbils and the Warrior Women.  There are many things we don’t know of this planet.  So much is unexplored.”

“I would love to explore other lands but we have to keep watch for the Mutants and Mumm-ra.  What was the year Willa had said a few weeks ago?”

“It’s the year 2374.  Why do you ask?”

“Oh just wondering.  Well you better go for your run before the others get up.  I do have a meeting scheduled shortly after breakfast.”

“Of course.” 

Cheetara turned and walked out of the control room for her morning run.  When she got back, she saw Tygra standing at the bridge, waiting for her.

“Hello, Tygra,” she said.

“Good morning,” he said.  “Lion-O told me you were out for a run so I decided to wait for you and tell you that breakfast is almost ready.  Also Lion-O decided to have the meeting right after we have breakfast.”

“Sounds like a good idea.”

After everyone was done eating, Lion-O began the meeting as Snarf cleared the table.  “I’m actually not sure why I decided to have the meeting know instead in an hour but it just seemed like a good time.

“I was the first one awake this morning and before Cheetara took her morning run, we had a little talk about this planet.  Mainly about the fact that we don’t really know much of the planet, only from what we’ve explored and what we’ve heard.”

“I have to agree,” Panthro said.  “There is much of the planet unexplored.  There could be many more dangers.”

“Or we could have more allies,” Wilykit said.  “But the question is, if we were to do this, where would we start exploring?”

“And we can’t leave the Cats Lair unprotected,” Bengali said.

“That is right,” Lion-O agreed.  “The Mutants could use this time to their advantage if they find the Cats Lair deserted.”

“The only solution to the problem,” Lynx-O said.  “Is for only a couple of us to explore some of the uncharted lands.  And keep in close contact of the findings.”

“And there would be no way of using the Thundertank,” Panthro said.  “The rest of us, would need it here.”

“I think there might be another way,” Pumyra said.

“How?” Lion-O asked.

“Yesterday when I was visiting the Warrior Women, they told me of a way to go from place to place in a matter of minutes.  It’s just getting a hold of it is the question.”

“You mean the Star Fleet?” Wilykat asked.  “But it’s said that they reside on the other side of the planet.”

“The warrior woman, I was talking with didn’t sound like herself,” Pumyra said.  “In fact she acted like she had more knowledge than anyone we know and her clothes were different from the others.”

“One thing Willa has told us is that Star Fleet sometimes sends someone out towards this way to ensure the safety,” Cheetara said.

“Lion-O,” Tygra said.  “I’d suggest sending Pumyra and someone else to the Treetop Kingdom to see what more we can find out about the ‘Federation’.”

“I agree,” Lion-O said.  “Tygra, you and Pumyra go and search more on the Federation.”

Pumyra and Tygra nodded.

“With that out of the way,” Lion-O continued.  He took a few silent breaths before continuing.  “Panthro, how are the new additions coming along with the lair?”

“It’s coming faster than I thought.  In about three weeks, the new additions should be complete,” Panthro said.

“What are the new additions?” Bengali asked.

“It’s actually a surprise to the Thundercats,” Panthro said.  “What I can tell you is that it’s something for everyone.”

“In fact, Bengali,” Lion-O said.  “I’m the only one who knows and I don’t even know everything what Panthro is doing.  Wilykit and Wilykat how you guys doing on finding natural healing medicine?”

“We haven’t found any of the medicine yet but we’ve been learning a whole lot of what plants can do to heal from the Wallows,” Wilykat said.

“With your permission,” Wilykit said.  “We would like to return of the Wallow village and continue with our research.”

“Agreed,” Lion-O said.  He looked to his fellow friends to see if there was anything more to say.  When he knew there was nothing more said, he said, “Meeting adjourn.”

Everyone stood and shouted.  “Thundercats Ho!”

“Let’s go Kat,” Kit said impatiently.

“Hold on Kit,” he said.

The two twins ran out of the room, heading towards where they last left the space boards.  Everyone else except for Tygra and Pumyra left the room.  They sat back down, this time sitting beside each other.

“Pumyra, is there anything more you learned yesterday?” Tygra asked.

“Mainly only the woman’s name Isabella.  She kept asking me a lot of questions.  I get the distinct feeling that she could be the person that Queen Willa told us about.”

“That she’s from the Star Fleet?”

“Yes.  She actually asked me to come over again today.  I’m not sure if I should.”

“Well you won’t be going alone.  We better get going, but we’ll take the Thundertank,” Tygra suggested.

“Let’s go.”

When Tygra and Pumyra arrived at the Treetop Kingdom, all the maidens were busy preparing a festival of some kind.  Pumyra was in a little confusion.

“Tygra, do you know what is going on?” she asked.

“Of course, it’s Willa’s birthday,” he answered, smiling.

“Pumyra,” a voice called.

Tygra and Pumyra looked to the voice and saw Willa with another woman.  The woman was dressed quite differently.

“Is she the one that you mentioned?” Tygra asked as Willa and the woman came forward.

“Yes.”

“This is a surprise,” Willa said.

“Yes, it is,” Tygra said.  “Happy Birthday.  We’ll have to come over again this evening.”

“Thank you,” Willa said.  “Tygra, I would like you to meet Isabella she is our hunter.”

“It’s nice to meet you Tygra of the Thundercats,” Isabella said.  “I’ve heard a lot about you.”  Isabella was the height of Willa with long brown hair styled up like Nayda, Willa’s sister and green eyes.  Her clothes were a green color, not the color of any of the other women.  She also wore green color shoes.

“If you would excuse me,” Willa said.  “I’m missing my party.”

“Of course, have fun,” Tygra said.

When Willa was out of earshot, Isabella turned to Tygra.  “Now that she is gone.  Might as well explain to each other the real reason why we’re here.”

“Huh?”

“Tygra, we both know why you are here.  Willa has told me that you guys have knowledge of the Federation.  She had told you guys about the Federation last year.”

“Are you from the Federation?” Pumyra asked.

“Yes.  I am Commander Isabella Foren,” Isabella said.

“How did you find out about us?” Pumyra asked.

“When I was here last year, observing.  I almost accidentally ran into one of you.  Then I started following you around.  And when I left, I told my superiors about you and I asked to come back to make first contact with you.”

“Why would you want to meet us?” Tygra asked.

“You have very advanced technology,” Isabella said.  “Most of the alien races on the planet are not that advanced.  Most are actually races that were almost extinct and we, the Federation, gave them a home here.”

“Lieutenant Terran from Shuttle craft, Vogel, to Commander Foren.”

“What was that?” Pumyra asked confused.  Tygra was just as confused.

“It’s how we contact each other,” Isabella said.  Isabella pulled a medal piece of jewelry out of a pouch that was attached to her side.  “Foren here, go ahead Terran.”

“Commander, we just got word from the fleet that attacked Deep Space Nine.  The Cardassians just abandoned the station.”

“That’s great.  What about the wormhole?”

“The Dominion were coming through the wormhole but somehow, it was destroyed.  Captain Sisko somehow got the prophets to help us.”

“The Bajorans have said that Captain Sisko would probably be the only one who could convince the Prophets to help us.”

“Commander, I’m picking up two alien signatures beside you.”

“Yes, two of the Thundercats.  Contact Star Fleet command and tell them I’ve made first contact in the Treetop Kingdom village.”

“Aye Commander.  Shuttle Craft out.”

Isabella turned to the Thundercats, “I suppose now you’ll want more questions answered.  I’ll be happy to give them to you but you need to understand one thing, The Federation is at war with a group of aliens called the Dominion.  If you wish to learn more, I’d suggest for us to have a meeting somewhere out of the earshot of possible invaders, either at your home or I make the rendezvous spot.”

“Would it be alright if we speak to our leader to see what he says first?” Tygra suggested getting over at how Star Fleet can communicate each other.

“Of course.  You had mentioned to Willa that you would bring the others here, before coming talk to your leader and we’ll speak later tonight.  I’ve taken up a lot of your time now.  Until tonight.”

Isabella turned and walked away before Tygra or Pumyra could react.  They watched her retreating back, not sure what to do at first.  When they could no longer see her, they turned to each other.

Pumyra cleared her throat before speaking.  “We should head back to the Cats Lair and let Lion-O know of our findings.”

“Yes,” Tygra agreed.  “I doubt Lion-O would mind if we have the meeting at the Cats Lair.”

The two Thundercats turned and walked back to the Thundertank and drove home discussing about what they learned of Isabella.  Tygra knew this was going to be an interesting evening meeting Isabella and she was willing to explain everything they want to know and of course it was Willa’s birthday.  Willa’s birthday was always full of enjoyment.  It was the only day, that the warrior women would basically ‘let down their hair’ for a little bit of fun instead of always being on guard.
