|ShortSummary=The next day, Thundera is attacked by Lizards who have acquired salvaged technology. It is soon discovered that Grune has joined the Lizards, and that Panthro is being held hostage. Lion-O comes to his father's aid, allowing Claudus to rescue Panthro. But Panthro murders the king, then revealing himself to be Mumm-Ra, (an ancient nemesis of the Thundercats,) in disguise. Lion-O and Tygra are captured along with Jaga and Cheetara. However, due to his kindess to the Lizard prisoners that he had freed, Lion-O was given a key hidden in his meal, allowing him to escape with Tygra to mount a rescue. Mumm-Ra wants the stone in the sword which he claims is his, and tortures Jaga to get him to remove a curse that prevents evil from touching the Sword of Omens. Lion-O and Tygra rescue Jaga and Cheetara, who is now revealed to be one of Jaga’s Clerics, with Lion-O grabbing the sword to blast Mumm-Ra out into open as the rising sun's rays harm him. Forced to leave Jaga, who sacrifices himself to ensure their escape, Lion-O, Tygra, and Cheetara undertake the quest to find the Book of Omens.

|ShortSummary=The ThunderCats have been running a series of ambushes to lower moral within the ranks of Mumm-Ra. Because there's no true fighting cause within the Lizard Army, there's been mass desertions and it's weakening Mumm-Ra's forces. To remedy the desertions, Mumm-Ra gives orders to Slithe to recruit Kaynar (a JackalmanJackal) and Addicus (a Monkey) to be his new generals. At the Bird Nation, Addicus is about to be executed by being dropped from a high cliff upon his ropes being cut. He is denied a last meal by the Bird Nation as the executioner cuts the ropes. As Addicus falls, he is saved by Slithe as Addicus states that the Bird Nation "owes him a meal" and apparently ate the leader. Meanwhile, Lion-O is emotionally compromised after losing Cheetara to Tygra. Unable to accept such an outcome, he vents his anger towards the couple as he feels he was emotionally mislead and betrayed. In between, the Berbils worked to fine-tune a new pair of cybernetic arms for Panthro, but it required a few adjustmants. At an underground prison, Kaynar is about to be placed in solitary confinement after killing 11 prisoners. Before Kaynar can be placed in his cell, the dog guards are shot by Slithe and gives Kaynar an offer to join up with Mumm-Ra. Kaynar asks if he can say "goodbye to some of his pals" as he moves in to dispose of the two dog guards. One night, the team spotted the Lizard Army escorting a group of deserters that the ThunderCats defeated earlier. Lion-O attempts to pull the lone raid against Tygra and Cheetara's advice, but he's too angry to listen and encounters Kaynar and Addicus. Tygra and Cheetara joins to assist, but after Tygra was held hostage, Cheetara surrenders to save Tygra and causes Lion-O to lose. Just as the trio face their executions, Pathro arrives in his newly upgraded Thunder Tank and newly installed cybernetic arms for battle. Panthro helps the three escape, but Cheetara's and Tygra's relationship continues to affect Lion-O's leadership and judgement.

|Title='''Trials of Lion-O (PartPt. 1)'''

|Title='''Trials of Lion-O (PartPt. 2)'''

|ShortSummary=The surviving ThunderCats made it to Mumm-Ra’s temple (the original spacecraft that crash-landed on Third Earth). Half-completed his trials in the spirit world, Lion-O ends up in a test of strength against "Panthro," where he must knock Panthro out of the ring before the sands within the hourglass run out. Lion-O couldn't ring-out Panthro until he remembers that he is the king and simply orders Panthro out of the ring. Panthro states to Lion-O that his greatest strength is being a leader. Meanwhile, the ThunderCats quietly took out the external Lizard guards and Panthro help gain entry to the ship. A bad infiltration move, the alarm goes off and alerts the internal Lizard guards. Tygra was unable to make a decision with incoming company, but Wilykit quickly charms the guards with her ocarina enough for the ThunderCats to get by. The guards forgotten the intrusion and thought it was a false alarm. In his final trial, Lion-O ends up going up against "Tygra" (in the same arena where he previously lost to Tygra) in order to get the final key and regain his life. Lion-O realizes it's a test of his control over his emotions and was easily angered by the farce Tygra. Meanwhile, the ThunderCats moves through the ventilation shafts and sees Mumm-Ra attempting to extract the ''Eye of Thundera'' from the ''Sword of Omens'' with a spell with his Lizard Priests. Despite opposition of his decision, Tygra decides to attack in attempt to retrieve the ''Sword of Omens''. Mumm-Ra uses a powerful electrical attack that neutralizes all the ThunderCats and had them detained. In the spirit world, Jaga tells Lion-O that he failed and that Mumm-Ra has obtained the ''Sword of Omens'' and captured the ThunderCats. Desperate to save his comrades, Lion-O offers his soul to Jaga as a sacrifice to return him to the living; Jaga tells him that the ''Soul Stone'' will return him to his body until sunrise, where his soul will be sent to ''Limbo'' for all eternity afterwards. When Jaga asks if he understands the consequences of returning to his body, Lion-O accepts the deal. He awakens under water and makes his way to the surface. Lion-O then grabs onto a bird in order to get up the cliff. Spotting the drawings left by Wilykit, Lion-O follows her trail until he reaches to Mumm-Ra's temple. Within the holding cells, Tygra is unsure of the next move and regrets questioning Lion-O's decisions as they always worked out; while others are in doubt, Wilykit still thinks that Lion-O will come for them. Sometime later, Lion-O infiltrates Mumm-Ra's temple, where he finds Slithe, Kaynar, and Addicus. Lion-O manages to trick them into one of the cells and proceeds to free the other ThunderCats. The group was happy for his return, but also wondered how he survived; there wasn't time to explain and he focused them to reclaim the ''Sword of Omens''. Mumm-Ra makes a second attempt to remove the ''Eye of Thundera'' out of the ''Sword of Omens'' until Panthro blows down the door. While the other ThunderCats fight the Lizard soldiers, Mumm-Ra transforms and battles Lion-O, who uses the Spirit Stone's power to block Mumm-Ra's attacks. Lion-O successfully reclaims the ''Sword of Omens'' and uses its beam attack to weaken Mumm-Ra. The ThunderCats then escapes from Mumm-Ra's ship to a safe distance. As the sun begins to rise, Lion-O tells everyone that he must go. Baffled to his words, the ThunderCats wanted answers and Jaga's spirit appears to explain hethat Lion-O had paid the ultimate price, but he's to remain alive. Jaga explains the trials were to test Lion-O's skills and heart;. Thus, Lion-O is given a second chance in life to lead the ThunderCats to victory. Still confused over what's happening, Lion-O begins to fill the group about his trials, starting from his death.

|Title='''The Pit'''

|ShortSummary=The ThunderCats reach a city inhabited by dogs, who host a gladiator-style arena for both entertainment and judgement. The group learns of a cat fighting in the arena and goes to see for themselves, while Wilykit and Wilykat go to explore the town and get food with Snarf keeping an eye on them. The group watches a preview of what the dogs call entertaining and witness the cat, Pumyra, defeat the robot that the last fighters couldn't beat. They go to the leader, Dobo's, viewing platform to plead for Pumyra's release and learn two things, the first is she must win 100 battles to gain freedom and second, Panthro and Dobo are old friends. Lion-O isn't satisfied with Dobo's choice and decides to sneak into the cells and break Pumyra out, but as he tries to release her she begins to yell at him with anger and rage because of him abandoning his kingdom and his people. This wakes the guards and Dobo appears, taking the Sword of Omen's and the Gauntlet, telling Lion-O that since he disobeyed his law he would have to fight to earn his freedom as well...against Pumyra! As Dobo returns the Sword and Gauntlet to Panthro and the others, he tells them that if Lion-O wins this fight he will go free. Cheetara and Tygra try to convince him to release them both, but he refuses. Panthro tells Dobo not to let their past affect his judgement. We learn that Dobo and Panthro were teamed up in The Pit as a joke, a war prisoner cat and thieving dog, but they actually rise in battles and become famed fighters. But Panthro had escaped one night and left Dobo alone with all the enemies they made, Panthro regretted his choice but Dobo said it was the best thing that happened to him because it gave him the strength to become leader of the city but the betrayal caused him to lose faith in loyalty from cats. Meanwhile, Wilykit and Wilykat run into a fellow pickpocket named Tookit (who says he is a kleptovoyant) and while they were talking about how they were as good a thief as him, Wilykit finds his Flink missing and Wilykat's flute is gone too! The battle between Lion-o and Pumyra begins and Lion-o refuses to fight her but she has no issue fighting a weakling king. During the fight, Wilykit and Wilykat try to convince Tookit to return their stuff but he refuses unless they can prove they are as good as they say they are. The group pleads for Dobo to stop the fight, but he refuses. Dobo says that this battle shows how loyal Cats truly are until Panthro explains why he left that night. Panthro tells him that the next battle was to be a death match against Dobo himself, Dobo asks if he ran because he was afraid he would have lost but Panthro says that he was afraid that might have won. Wilykit and Wilykat steal a cane, a button, and a blanket and return to Tookit and tell him they won and to return their stuff so they can hurry and return the random items, unfortunately it is too late and they are all being chased. Tookit uses the items Wilykit and Wilykat took to save them and gained some money in the end while taking his leave, just as the kids say he is not such a bad guy....until they realize he still has their stuff! Back to the fight, Lion-O continues to stand up after taking a beating from Pumyra's attacks stating that he promised to stand by her. Pumyra learns he is truly a strong and caring king and refused to continue the fight, Dobo states that since both forfeit the match they must be sentenced to death! Until he hears his people telling him to let them live. After learning why Panthro left and witnessing the loyalty between Pumyra and Lion-O, he lets them live and grants them both their freedom! With old wounds fully healed and new friends made, Lion-O ask Pumyra where the other Cats that were taken by the lizards ended up and she replies "Mount Plun-Darr" as she points towards it's direction.
