(narrated by Kamarana)

"Evil is back. The Drule heirs, Beryle and Zerpo, have made a return to the father's work, and are bent on taking over the galaxy. But, we have the Voltron Force, made up of five pilots, who pilot five awesome robot lions. When the Drule kingdom attacks, they make up Voltron, defender of the Universe!"

"Well, this'll be fun, right?" Tonks asked, once the cadets had returned to their room.

"Huh?" Zoe asked, as she leaned against the door. Kamarana just didn't understand. Allowing a haggarium-turned person into the castle? She definitly trusted the Commander and the Queen's decisions, but there was something here that none of them understood. She just couldn't put her finger on it. Oh, maybe it was the fact that all five of them had been targeted by this dude, Daniel, as Allura had called him.

Nothing that any of them told her would get her to trust him, at least, not with her life. Not today, not ever. She'd always had one eye on her, from her brother, he'd protect her from anything, even if it cost him his own life. He'd always said so, and there was some proof, but against someone like...Daniel, or Panthera? Yeah right.

Since their VoltComs had been activated, Junior had not left his alone. Vince told him that it was probably a malfunction, such as his had been. He could have power over electronics and such,, but Kamarana (and everyone else) highly doubted that. Except for the sims, Junior barely knew how to work much of anything, as, well, he HAD been asleep the last time Pidge taught them to use it.

"Anything?" Johnny asked Zoe, who was still sitting at the door. She shook her head no, and then slumped against the door. "They're just talking about boring things, such as why did he come back, did the infection wear off-wait!" she listened again, and then responded.

"They're asking him why he targeted us."

The power had then gone out, while Zoe was feeding them information. Apparently, Daniel had never actually gone to the school, and said it was a holo, or someone else. He had actually been somewhere else, where he wouldn't say. That made it all the less believable.

Tonks tried to pry the door open, but opened it an inch, and it was so close she almost got her fingers caught. Zoe put in the code, but then smacked her forehead. The power was out. Tonks tried again, and managed to get it open further. They filed out, and raced into the pitch black control room. Kamarana couldn't see anyone, but knew they were all there. She powered on her own VoltCom, and it illuminated the few inches in front of her. Everyone else followed suit, and soon the room was illuminated with the light of various weapons.

"Pidge, what's up with the lights?" Lance asked. Pidge shrugged.

"Beats me. We could've blown a fuse, but I highly doubt it. A castle like this..."

"Okay, point taken, but how fast can we get it back up?" Keith asked. Pidge shrugged again.

"Without any power, or an idea of how it happened, I might have to ask for a bit of help."

"Take your time, not like we're susceptible to attack by any Drules at all." Lance said.

"Lance?" Keith asked through the darkness.

"What?"

"Shut up please."

Ariana Holt was hard at work on a computer chip, when the door slid open, and practically scared the living daylights out of her. But, it wasn't anything remotely scary, unless you considered a dark haired dude in glasses scary. It was only Chip, Pidge's brother, and her brother-in law.

"Chip, I'm telling you, would you please stop that?!" She shouted. "You're going to give me a heart attack." Her blue eyes narrowing.

"Sorry. Whatever you're working on, please tell me you can put it down." he said urgently. She snuck a glance at her computer chip, and then sighed.

"What is it?"

"Pidge's calling. Something urg-" Ariana didn't hear the rest, and she raced out of her lab. She hadn't seen Pidge in years, actually. Well, nor had she seen Zoe, but that was different story, for a much different time.

She turned it on, and accepted the call. Pidge's face warmed her, and she smiled.

"Hey. Chip said something about you needed help?"

"Yeah. Have you guys had a blackout recently?" he asked. She thought about it for a moment, thinking. The last time they had a blackout was...um. About three or four years ago.

"No, actually, power's still on. Why?"

"Our power just went out. I was wondering if you knew why."

"Pidge, I know you have a computer."

"Not one working at the moment." he said, almost annoyed. She frowned, and the sighed.

"No idea, it just went out?"

"Yeah."

"That's really weird. Did you guys blow a fuse or something?" Ariana asked again.

"No."

"Hmm, well, that's the only thing I can think of. Don't you guys have like, a crystal powering the place? Maybe it went out or-"

"Ari! You're a genius. There's most likely something wrong with the crystal! I'll check-" then the connection was lost. Was there wi-fi on Arus? Had it just cut out? She tried reconnecting, but she got the same message everytime, "can't connect."

"Chip, get this thing working again. I can't connect with Pidge." she said to the man now beside her.

"If it's not broken our end, it's something on his. Maybe his VoltCom ran out."

"Maybe. If we can't reconnect by tonight, I'm going down there."

~.~

"Damn. My VoltCom ran out." Pidge's voice said somewhere in the darkness. "But Ariana's right. I'm thinking that something with the power-" just as he said it, the lights all came back on, but instead of the blue they all knew, purple raced through the castle.

"Haggarium, it's in the castle somehow, I-" Every pair of eyes swiveled towards Daniel, who shrugged.

"I was here the entire time, you guys know that. Keith would've known if I'd left."

"Daniel's right. If he didn't do it, then who did?"

"I respect you all, but what if it wasn't a case of who, more like what? I know that people use drones are used too. Maybe something got in the castle-"

"Without us knowing?" Pidge asked. "Highly possible, Zoe, but more that it's maybe just the presence of the robeast outside, and, -no offense Daniel-, Daniel's presence here. Maybe that's what shorted it out, and repowered it."

"It makes sense." Zoe replied. "But as long as it's in the castle, the lions are free to whoever infected it. I think that we should shut the place down, and then cool the castle. It'll destroy the haggarium, and-"

"Also freeze us all half to death, nice idea, but-"

"No buts Lance, it's a good idea, and we should all be willing to try." Allura said. "Pidge? Is that possible?"

"I think so. Power's going to be off, so I really hope you guys charged your Voltcoms. I think we can do this.." Pidge confirmed. "Whenever you're ready, Zoe."

Eyes all swiveled to the young blonde, who didn't look overwhelmed at all. In fact, she looked as if she take on the galaxy.

"I you don't mind, now would be good. The sooner the better"
