Story[]
Sixth Sense, part 1 of 4:[]
Written by Dwight Jon Zimmerman
Art by Gary Leech, Phil Felix & Euan Peters
Lion-O and Cheetara are stargazing in a tree when she sees what she thinks is s shooting star. About to make a wish, Cheetara’s sixth sense tells her that it is an alien spaceship in trouble. At first, Lion-O scoffs at her but when she begins to glow and shows real distress, he takes things more seriously. The ship has been damaged and is trying to land safely, coming in too steeply and threatening to burn up in Third Earth's atmosphere.
At Castle Plun-Darr, Vultureman is also aware of the incoming ship, scanning it with powerful equipment. Monkian and Slithe take an interest too but the Mutants are unable to pinpoint it. When Monkian suggests they give up, Slithe disagrees, claiming they might find technology they could use against the ThunderCats. Back in the forest, Cheetara is in increasing distress, relaying the ship’s desperate attempts to land. Lion-O carries her down from the canopy and is determined to get her to the safety of Cats’ Lair.
Bear Necessities:[]
Written by Steve Alan
Ro-Bear Bert and Ro-Bear Bob have been having a hard time adjusting to life in the Berbil village after their adventures on Destiny Atoll. They are fired from their hated farming job on Ghun-Bear Bill’s land and forced to ask for other work back at the Berbil village. At this point, chaos ensues as an enormous monster arrives, causing damage in all directions. Some Berbils call it Ro-Bear Bruin, the Berserker Mountain bear, but Bert and Bob recognise their old companion the Metokangmi! Finding itself alone once again, it had been looking for them. Consequently, it is overjoyed to see the two Berbils who have no trouble persuading it to repair the damage. In recognition of their heroics, the two Berbils are offered seats on the Berbil High Council.
