Crossover between Voltron Legendary Defender, and Avatar: Legend of Korra [but there is literally only one story there, and we wanted this to be seen :)]

Inspired by fanart by the-moon-avatar and chitrakaya on Tumblr who depict Kuvira and Hira as sisters.


Chapter 1: Crash Landing

Anticipation was high in the bridge of this trans-galactic Altean Space Explorer commanded by General Hira. The crew of the ship had been down this same road for what felt like millennia, coming and going from their core reality to find as many trans-reality comets and ships made from the comets that were capable of surviving the passing through existential space tears as they could. Their empire now had in its possession three trans-reality comets, two full sets of Voltron Lions from two different realities, and three syncline ships from various realities capable of traversing space tears.

Empress Zina, daughter of Empress Allura of the Altean Empire and Emperor Lotor of the Galran Empire, had endowed General Hira with one of the ancient, yet still formidable Syncline ships built over six thousand decaphoebs ago with the expectation that the decorated General and her crew would use it to continue to bring glory to the Empire.

The comet was getting closer. "General Hira! This comet's readings are off the charts. Its energy levels exceed that of the most concentrated quintessence harvested directly from the druids and dissented Alteans!"

"Ready the Syncline Ship! I'm going after it!" Hira ordered her second in command.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked.

"I don't have a choice. We have been trailing this comet for centuries, and it is finally within range. This comet's large enough for us to create a transreality teludav. Such a device will enable us to send standard ships to other realities without requiring either Voltron or Syncline to carry it. We will become unbeatable in our quest to spread peace and stability throughout all realities. I won't let it get away!" Hira responded with a signature lethal determination in violet and turquoise eyes.

"Very well."

"Readying Syncline Ship. Should be able to depart in approximately three doboshes."

Hira ran to the hangar and engaged the blasters on her suit to launch her up into the cockpit of Syncline in its transformed state.

"Checking specs. Fuel Levels."

"Fuel levels are a go-"

"Mega thrusters?"

"Mega thrusters are a go-"

"Airlock system,"

"Airlocks are a go-"

"Atmospheric levels?"

"Atmospheric levels are a go-"

"Communication equipment?"

"All a go-"

"You are cleared for take off. Good luck, General Hira,"

The hangar doors opened, and Hira took off.

"Engaging hyperdrive!" Hira yelled accelerating the massive mech to maximum speed after the comet.

"Checking vitals!" Her second in command called back on the explorer vessel.

"All satisfactory," Hira replied quickly scanning her monitors.

"Almost there!" She announced. She pulled her left joystick back and pushed the right one forward and pressed the button on top to activate the tethers. Four flew out of the Syncline ship, two from each hand and latched onto the transreality comet.

"Exiting hyperdrive!" Hira yelled reconfiguring the ship's fuel allocation. "Pulling back!" Hira yelled killing the rear thrusters and activating the front ones. Just then, an alarm blared in the cockpit.

"Magnus, the sensors are going haywire!" Hira yelled. The position was off. The coordinates were running wild. Hira looked out the visor of Syncline's head.

"Magnus! Can you hear me?! Magnus! I think we're near a reality rift! Magnus!" Hira yelled as she and the comet went through. The quintessence was overwhelming. But as they learned during numerous expeditions through realities and experimentation with the quintessence between, it was not the quintessence that corrupted living beings but the dark creatures that lived in between realities.

Hira closed her eyes to the blinding yellow light, then felt and saw nothing.

When she came to, she was still in the Syncline, still tethered to the comet, and plummeting towards an unfamiliar planet.

She tried to pull back, but the gravity of the planet was too strong. Syncline was rumored to have the ability to jump between realities and create space folds, but no pilot since Lotor himself had been able to do so. For now, it was just a ship.

"Magnus! Magnus, do you read me? Magnus!" Hira screamed. Nothing. She checked her scanners. The coordinates were too far from where she remembered last being, and in a galaxy, she'd never seen before.

"Bracing for impact!" She said, reconfiguring Syncline's settings again. She let go of the controls. Her seat strapped down her helmet, her limbs, and her torso then expanded to enclose the Altean in a thick bubble to brace her against the imminent impact.

The crash blacked her out, naturally.

Hira woke to hear the whirring of saws, and the pounding of drills as the primitives of this unknown planet feebly tried to breach the nearly indestructible hull of the Syncline. Though it could take their pitiful beating, Hira still didn't like the thought of them even attempting to break in. She pressed the release button, and the visor flipped up, sending the half-dozen primitives and their tools off the ship and into the air. She jumped out and activated her blaster in her right gauntlet and her energy katar in her left hand and prepared for a fight.

"Step away from the Syncline!" Hira yelled, pulling a blaster.

"Syncline?" One primitive standing on the breast of the Syncline repeated, shocked.

"That's what you call this thing?"

"The vessel! Step away from the vessel!" Hira ordered.

There were many primitives. Their clothes were incredibly dull. Some wore metal bands on their upper arms and metal shoulder armor while others wore only cloth epaulets on their shoulders, Hira observed quickly trying to categorize the primitives by the ranks on their uniform

"I'm afraid we can't do that," a man wearing those metal armbands and the most stripes stitched into his sleeve said, walking towards Hira. "This vessel and the comet it's attached to is now the property of the Earth Empire!"

"Anything that falls into the Earth Empire's territory is the property of the Earth Empire!"

"Just like that Fire Nation blimp that thought it'd come to investigate the crash site to see if Sozin's comet had returned to grant them unlimited firepower!"

"Surrender your weapon. And nobody has to get hurt," the primitive walking towards her ordered.

Earth Empire? But we subjugated Earth eons ago! Hira sighed at this thought. I guess it's just another reality where we'll have to start from scratch.

"I will never surrender!" Hira yelled, opening fire, stunning the commander and several Earth Empire soldiers who tried to come near her. Just then she felt something curl around her right wrist and her left ankle. She used her energy katar to try to slice the assumed whip, but there was nothing there, only one of those metal strips. Huh? Just then one of those strips slapped over her eyes blindfolding her, and yanked her off of the roof of the Syncline.

"Bind her and throw her in a platinum cell! See if there's any way to get that suit off! We can't have those weapons appearing again! The second in command to the first man ordered the army.

"The Great Uniter will definitely want to hear about this."

"Captain Leung! We can't bend the comet!" one of the soldiers wearing metal strips yelled.

"Then rope it!"

"Sir! It's too big and too heavy!"

"Then construct a dome over it! The Fire Nation, Water Tribes, and certainly the United Republic cannot know this exists!" Captain Leung yelled.

"Yes, captain!" the man with the metal armband yelled saluting.
