After meeting John, everyone gathered around a table in the middle of the Orange Lion's den.
"So, you three know each other?" asked Allura.
"We were all part of Waid's academy," said Daniel.
"But John was tossed out since he was found cheating on one of the tests," said Vince as John handed him a glass of water.
"That was just a cover story, I found out what Waid was doing with the lions and left of my own will," said John.
"How did you find this place?" asked Lance.
"After I left the academy, I started using the sewers to avoid police and take food, one day I found this room and its secret," said John.
"The Orange Lion," said Daniel.
"How do you know about him?" asked John.
"That's a long story, but we also know about the Purple Lion, who is already in our possession" said Vince.
"And now I bet you're here to take the Orange Lion from me," said John as he drank some water.
"No, you and the Orange Lion have already bonded, so we are going to recruit you as his pilot," said Keith.
"You're making me part of your team?" asked John who was surprised.
"That's right, we need you and your lion for an upcoming battle," said Keith.
"Then count me in," said John. Before another word was said, the Earth began to shake all around them, glass containers shattered as they fell to the ground.
"What is this?!" asked Lance as some lose concrete came off the ceiling.
"It's King Zarkon," said Daniel with an expression filled with anger.
