Omen Swinger [OPEN, bendy-timed before shore leave]

Lion-O was in the armory searching for a very specific weapon; the Sword of Omens. It didn't take him too long, once he figured out how to use the terminal. And the safety protocols. Once he got past those though, the sword was finally back in his possession, along with the sturdy Claw Shield. Lion-O fastened the gauntlet to his hip and examined the sword.

"Good to have you back. Better make sure you're the real one." Lion-O lifts the sword and swings it from side to side.

"Thunder, thunder, thunder! ThunderCats, Ho!"

The sword grows to its full length, and it shines the ThunderCats symbol onto the walls, roaring. Lion-O smiles as the sword shrinks back down and he sheathes it in the Claw Shield.

"Perfect."

"Wow." Sandy spoke out loud and then instantly regretted it. She liked to stalk around and watch what sort of things people claimed from their lockers in case she needed to "Borrow" them later.

This however was a little more then she was expecting.

Lion-O turns around and waves as Sandy. "Hello there. I didn't realize you were watching me." He says as he walks up to her. "Need any help?"

"Oh uh...not really?" Sandy tried to smile innocently and fought her instant distrust of grown ups. More importantly, "Are you a cat guy or something?" Way to be subtle Sandy.

Lion-O chuckles.

"Yes, I'm something like that. I'm a Thunderian. Everyone keeps asking me that question."

"Heh, probably because there are more worlds with cats or something." She shuffled her feet uncomfortable. "What's with the sword?" She asked trying to assert herself.

"This would be the Sword of Omens." Lion-O says as he shows it to Sandy. "It's passed down to each Lord of the ThunderCats, and I happen to be its newest master. The sword is a very powerful artifact."

Sandy whistled impressed by his explanation, "So did you gotta like...earn that or are you like, the son of the last guy who had it?"

"Both, actually." Lion-O replies. "It's passed down from father to son, but each Lord of the ThunderCats must pass the Anointment Trials to earn to right to wield the Sword of Omens."

Sandy thought about it nodding, seemed to make sense. "What kind of trials?" At least he had her attention.

"Trials that test your skills and courage. There's the trials of strength, speed, cunning, mind, and the trial of evil. The last one was the most difficult, since I had to face my greatest enemy without the sword."

Sandy nodded totally invested in the story now. "What was that like? Is he like a giant dog or something?"

Because he's a cat see? Give her some credit she's never seen a real lion before.

"Haha, no, he's an undead mummy sorcerer, named Mumm-Ra." Lion-O answers and grins. "He does have an undead dog though, who can be quite a nuisance."

Undead Mummy Sorcerer?

Bad. Ass!

Sandy's face was lit up as he went on. "So how'd you beat him without the sword?" She asked on the edge of her seat.

"Well, it turns out that his sarcophagus is his weakness." Lion-O grins as he remembers the battle. "I just had to outmaneuver him and toss the coffin into his cauldron." He lets out a small sigh.

"I just wish it had stuck."

"Coooool!" Sandy expressed delight despite his storytelling skills leaving a little to be desired.

"So he came back?"

Lion-O nodded to Sandy.

"Yes, he did. Every time I thought we defeated him, he came back. He's probably out there somewhere right now. But every time he sticks his ugly head out, I'll be there to put him back in the ground." Lion-O stared at his sword a moment.

"He had a habit of using his magic to disguise himself. He's turn into someone else and infiltrate the Cat's Lair. That was his favorite tactic."

"Whoa." Sandy had heard stories about bad guys that wouldn't die but hearing it from someone who actually fought those kinds of people was impressive.

"But he could be someone on board, like right now!" That didn't sound so much scared as thrilled.

"Hmm, you may be right." Lion-O says as he holds the sword up to his face.

"Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight." Lion-O commands. He attempts to search for Mumm-Ra in the pods, but everything is blurry.

"No good. There seems to be some kind of interference blocking the Sight Beyond Sight. If Mumm-Ra's here, I can't tell."
