- Jaga: Guardians of the Crown, bring forth the Sword of Omens! While you will one day wear the Crown, Lion-O, only the Eye of Thundera, source of our power, knows if there is indeed a King inside of you. Take the Sword, and become one with it...
- Claudus: You hold in your hands what built the ThunderCats' empire. But only he who is deemed worthy can harness its awesome power.
- [WilyKat and WilyKit panhandle for food]
- WilyKat: You know sis, it's not always going to be this way. Once I get that map, I'm taking you to the City of Treasure, El Dara.
- WilyKit: Really?
- WilyKat: We'll have more food than we'll know what to do with, and so much money, people will be begging US for it!
- WilyKit: El Dara, here we come!
- Claudus: He knows how important today is. Where is that boy Jaga?
- Jaga: Be easy on him Claudus. Remember, when you were his age your father wasn't always pleased with you either.
- Claudus: I never neglected my duties as Prince, like he does. Why can't he be more like you Tigra?
- Tygra: You're asking for the impossible, father...
- Lion-O: It's official, they think I'm a failure. And they always will unless I can prove I'm not chasing a childish dream. But, how I can I do that when even Grune said there was no tech out there?
- Jaga: Don't let what Grune failed to see stand in the way of what you believe. The Book says that our greatest king will possess the ability of Sight Beyond Sight.
- Lion-O: You mean like... having visions?
- Jaga: More than that Lion-O. It's the ability to lead with clarity. For sight is useless without action.
- Claudus: It was many seasons ago when I sent out generals Grune and Panthro, to find the fabled Book of Omens. While it remains lost, Grune has returned with tales of adventure, great treasure, and new lands to conquer. Today, we show him our appreciation.
- Claudus: The Book told that it was the Thundercats, our ancestors, who first defeated Mumm-Ra! It was the Thundercats who brought law and order to a world of warring animals! And it is now the Thundercats who are strong enough to maintain this fragile peace!
- Jaga: These were days of peace and prosperity on Third Earth... When one empire stood above all others, ruling with a just heart and razor claw. And though Omens foretold in the Book would be ignored, the tragedy to come was necessary... For it was written that He would be born of fire, a king to lead his people to victory against Ancient Spirits of Evil...
