Author's notes: I said I would write this if there was no season 2 within a year, so here's my version of what should happen. This follows the events of the actual show including the last two episodes of season (so if you've read Test of Wills, ignore it—sorry if my final notes on that story were confusing). I don't really know how long this story will be, but I'll try to make one chapter equal one episode.
Also, I don't own Voltron or the characters/ locations; I only claim characters I create and planets. So enjoy or not . . . kinda up to you.
Daniel mentally screamed in pain and without warning Black Lion charged at the others. Black pounced on Green.
"Daniel! What's wrong with you?" yelled Lance. He tried to pull Black off Green, but Black's eyes started glowing and in flash Red was thrown into some distant mountains. "Okay, since when does Black have that kind of power? What are you teaching him, Keith?"
" Not that." Answered Keith from the control room. "Daniel, what's going on? How did you throw Red that far?"
Once again there was no response. Pidge looked at the readings in disbelief. "There's no reason logical Black should be able to throw any of the other lions even half that distance or knock their systems off line."
"Are you telling me Daniel unlocked another upgrade?" Said Lance. He slapped his monitor in frustration; it wasn't even a half a percent back online (normally, it would be half way by this time).
"If he did, he can't control it." Said Allura. She looked to Keith as he put his Voltcom on. "Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm not sure what's wrong Daniel or Black, but they need my help. If I can get into the cock pit, . . ." Started Keith.
"Black threw Red halfway across Arus. It could kill you if you get anywhere near it." Said Allura. Finally, there was a pain filled groan from Daniel and an evil growl like laugh over the Voltcoms. "What was that? Daniel, what's going on?! Are you okay?!"
"I have to get there! Pidge, what are my options?" Ordered Keith.
"There is that hover bike Daniel got from the Hunkyard and was fixing up; he put a fourth gen hyper cell motor on it, but the breaks stick." Answered Pidge.
"It will have to do." Keith said. Keith activated his Voltcom armor. He turned to Allura. "I'll be careful and be back as soon as I can, I promise."
Blue and Yellow were struggling to keep Black at bay while the others recovered. Lance and Vince were both annoyed on the drawn out reboot. Vince was busy trying to use his powers to figure out what was slowing down the lions.
"Any luck, Vince?" asked Lance. His arms were crossed and his fingers tapped against his forearms.
"Not yet. It's weird, but I almost think whatever this is has some sort of immunity to my powers." Said Vince. He sent a mental message to Daniel. What are you doing? What did you do anyway? And how are you doing it, Daniel?
Vince felt a zap of dark energy and instantly found himself in darkness. Wouldn't you like to know, spritling? An evil voice said. It didn't sound like Daniel. You might be able to neutralize Haggar's powers, but mine are cut from a different cloth you can't cure as easily.
"What's going on Vince?" Said Lance. He didn't get an answer. "Guys, Vince is out and Red's not rebooting like he should. Be careful. Did I actually say that?"
"First time for everything, Lance. I'll be there in a few minutes." Said Keith. He was speeding on the hover bike in a canyon. "Do you think Red will be ready to go when I get there, Lance?"
"At this rate, I'll be happy if it's back online before Labor Day."Answered Lance.
"Still no luck contacting Daniel?" Keith asked.
"Not yet and now we can't talk to Vince!" Yelled Larmina. She had to dodge a bolt of electricity from Black's tail. "When I get a hold of who is responsible, they'll think twice next time!"
"You'll have to wait in line. I call dibs right after Keith gets done with them." Said Lance.
"Uhh . . . guys, I think Black's calming down." Said Hunk. As Yellow approached it, Black charged and shoved Yellow in to Red. "Or not."
"And I'm at square one again." Sighed Lance. "Larmina, you need to stay away from Black until Keith gets here."
"Hmm . . . guys, if it was Daniel, he would've used his speed boost by now, right?" asked Larmina. She dodged another energy blast.
"no doubt, but who could've gotten in Black?" asked Allura.
"Well Sven managed to steal Blue before and Black went missing in Dradin, so we know the anti-thief systems need some upgrades." Said Lance. "Keith, please tell me you've got a plan!"
"Get to Black's cockpit and find out what's going on." Keith answered. He drove the hover bike up a path. When Black's mouth opened, he speed up and jumped into the lion's mouth. A black mist vanished and the cockpit was empty. As Black came to a stop, Daniel's Voltcom rolled out from under the pilot's seat. Suddenly, the broken lions came back online and Vince awoke.
At the castle of Lions, the remaining members of the team stared at Daniel's Voltcom. Pidge was running scans on it, but there wasn't a trance of Daniel or who ever took him. Vince was still a bit weak and tried to unscramble the security footage without any luck.
"So, Keith says whoever it was just vanished into thin air with Daniel and you're telling me you have not proof that Daniel even put on his Voltcom today or even got into Black!" grumble Lance. He turned and punched a wall.
"In short, yes." Pidge said. He was just as confused as the others. "Even going into the realm of science fiction, it is hard to explain. The main question is why Daniel?"
"That's what I've been wondering. Allura, Coran or Larmina could be kidnapped for ransom. Pidge or Hunk for their knowledge and the same with Vince, plus his powers. I guess they could've been after Keith, but Daniel . . ." started Lance.
"Is our friend and teammate. That's all the reason anyone needs to kidnap any of us. In many ways, we're a family." interrupted Allura. "I don't care why they took him, but the important thing is to get him back with us."
"We will and we'll make sure whoever took him will pay." Said Keith. His eyes narrowed in anger, but Vince was wondering something very different.
Mean while on Doom, a dark cloaked man with a silver lion mask covering his face stood where castle Doom once stood. He waved a jeweled sword over the ground. A new castle appeared much like the castle of lions, but darker and a strange coat of arms replaced that of Voltron's. He waved his sword again and Maahox appeared with a dark collar around his neck.
"What just happened?" He said. The scientist turned to the cloaked man. "Who are you?"
"You're new master and future emperor of this Universe." The cloaked man answered. His eyes glowed bright purple.
