I don't own Voltron only my OC Lyra.

Is he okay? Asks Lyra.

Sometimes, the healing process can cause involuntary brain wave reactions said Allura.

He looks like he's having a bad dream saud Hunk.

He just got blasted by a space witch and mauled by giant lizards. What dream could be worse than that? Said Keith.

Shiro's dream.

No, no! No. You took my hand. What more do you want? Said, Shiro.

Stop! I want him awake enough to feel this. Listen to me. We don't have much time said Ulaz.

Wake up! Zarkon has located the Blue Lion of Voltron on your planet, Earth. You must get it before he does say Ulaz.

What are you doing? Asks Shiro.

I've planted a bomb to cover your escape. Get to a pod, now said Ulaz.

Who are you? Asks Shiro.

I am Ulaz. Now, come on! Zarkon will know that I released you, so I must disappear. But, if you survive, go to the coordinates in your arm. The Blade of Marmora is with you said Ulaz.

Why are you helping me? Asks Shiro.

As a fighter and a leader, you give hope. Hurry! Earth needs you. We all do say Ulaz.

I'm not finding any coordinates in here. Are you sure this wasn't just a dream? Asks Pidge.

I'm positive. Someone helped me escape said, Shiro.

And he was Galra? Asks Allura.

Yes said, Shiro.

You know you cannot trust them said Allura.

Your father must have trusted them once said, Shiro.

Zarkon was the original Black Paladin, wasn't he? Asks Shiro.

That was a long time ago said Allura.

Wait, what? Asks Lance.

Didn't you see how he stole the Black Lion right out from Shiro? Or that he could do all that cool stuff with his Bayard? Shiro's Bayard? You know, the black one? Said Keith.

Why didn't you just tell us the truth about Zarkon? Asks Shiro.

I wanted to protect you from the dark history of the paladins so that you would have a chance to bond with your lions on your own. You are the Black Paladin now, not Zarkon said Allura.

Yeah, well, the Black Lion may have a different take on the matter said, Shiro

Wait a second. I think I see it now. Some repeating numbers in all this Galra code. Let me extract it. They are coordinates! They lead here: the Thaldycon system said Pidge.

Then, that's where we're headed said, Shiro.

Shiro, are you sure you can trust this? I mean, after all the Galra have done to you They They took your arm said, Keith.

It's worth the risk. Someone helped me escape. If we can locate some allies in our fight against Zarkon, especially ones from his own side, we might just find a way to take him down said Shiro.

We can check the location, but I do not like this. The Galra are not to be trusted said Allura.

Well, this is it. No sign of any activity at all, living or otherwise said, Coran.

Can we get in there to take a closer look? Asls Shiro.

I don't want to bring the Castle any closer. Those xanthorium chunks contain highly unstable nitrate salts. Even bumping one of them can blow us straight to Wozblay said, Coran.

Are you sure this is right? These are the coordinates Number Five gave me said, Coran.

Hey! My decryption is solid said Pidge.

There must be something we're missing said Lyra.

We should get out of here. We've checked it out, but now, it's time to move on said Allura.

No. There must be something more to this. I can feel it. I think we should wait said, Shiro.

There's an intruder in the Castle said, Coran.

How could someone just sneak aboard the ship? Asks Lance.

I knew coming here was a mistake! There he is. Level five said Allura.

Everyone, suit up said, Shiro.

I got him said, Lance.

Keep eyes on him, Lance. We're all headed toward you said, Shiro.

Hold it right there said, Lance.

Careful, he's faster than an angry klanmüirl! But he can jump like a sprightly globinheffer said, Coran.

Coran, you're not helping said Lance.

Somebody's as mad as a wet chüper. Coming your way, Number Five said Coran.

I got him! I don't got him said Pidge.

He's dragging Pidge away said, Coran.

Come back here said Pidge.

Hunk said Pidge.

Huh? Sorry said Hunk.

Oh, Hunk failed the team, guys said Coran.

Hey said Hunk.

All right, it's up to Keith now said, Coran.

Copy that. I'm ready said Keith.

Oh, this is exciting! He's got a sword. One young paladin, one seemingly indestructible foe Swing and a miss! Oh, another swing and a miss! He can't touch him! He's too fast! He knocked his Bayard out of his hands! It's on the ground said, Coran.

Ulaz? Said, Shiro.

Stop! It's him! This is the Galra who set me free said, Shiro.

You've come said Ulaz.

I don't think this is necessary said Lyra.

I will not have some quiznak-ing Galra soldier on the bridge of my ship said Allura.

If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already said Ulaz.

Are your Galra threats supposed to win my trust? Asks Allura.

I'm not trying to win your trust. I'm trying to win a war. And, because of Shiro, we are closer than we've ever been. Our gamble on you paid off better than we could have ever imagined said Ulax.

When you released me, you also mentioned that there were others working with you said, Shiro.

Yes. We are called the Blade of Marmora said Ulaz.

Uh, others? Are they here? Asks Hunk.

Hunk, can you try not to act so scared around the chained-up prisoner? It makes us seem a little lame said Lance,

I am alone on this base said Ulaz.

What is this base you're talking about? Shiro's coordinates just led us to this wasteland said Allura.

The base is hidden. Now that I know it is Shiro that has come, you are welcome to our outpost. It lies dead ahead said Ulaz.

Behind all the xanthorium clusters? Asks Pidge.

No. Right in front of it, in a hidden pocket of space-time said Ulaz.

Coran, are you hearing this? Asks Allura.

I am picking up some kind of anomaly on the screen. I suppose it could be a cloaked base said, Coran.

Just fly straight for the center of the xanthorium cluster. You will see said Ulaz.

You think you're going to get me to destroy our ship just because you say so? Asks Allura.

We came out here to find some answers. Are we going to turn back now? Asks Shiro.

You know I trust you, Shiro, but this doesn't feel right said, Keith.

And you know I hate to agree with Keith, but it's a big fat ditto for me said, Lance.

Galra could have implanted fake memories of the escape in your head said Pidge.

Oh, come on, that would be so evil, which, of course, they are. But they'd have to come up with some molecular level storage unit, which his hand does have. But, to be linked up to memory, it would need a direct pathway to his brain, which yeah said Hunk.

It is a little too covenant said Lyra.

Ulaz freed me. Without him, we wouldn't be here said, Shiro.

Fine. Slow and steady, Coran. Head for the xanthorium cluster said Allura,

Yes, Princess. Beginning approach. Impact imminent in five, four three, two. Well, that's something said, Coran.

What is it? Asks Allura.

Putting it up on the screens said, Coran.

Amazing. They're folding space said Pidge.

It's like a space taco. Or a space calzone. Or a space-time soup dumpling and we're the soup. Hey, is there a cafeteria on this thing? Said Hunk.

Welcome to the Blade of Marmora Communications Base Thaldycon. Now, if you'll free me, I need to send a message to the leadership. They need to know I've made contact with Voltron said Ulaz.

Go with him and keep an eye on him. I'm staying here said Allura.

Oh! Can we go? Said Hunk.

I want to see how they make the space pocket said Pidge.

You guys go ahead. I'll hang back and protect the princess said Lance.

This is the gravity generator that creates the space-time fold that hides the station. It was created by a reclusive genius engineer named Slav. His technology allows the Blade of Marmora to remain hidden while we work to take down the Galra Empire. Zarkon would do anything to get his hands on this technology said Ulaz.

There are Galra out there that aren't loyal to Zarkon? Asks Keith.

We thought expanding the Galra Empire would bring stability. We learned too late, a tyrant doesn't seek stability, only power. With our members working on the inside, planning coordinated attacks with Voltron, we may finally have a chance said Ulaz.

So, you have agents working within Zarkon's ranks? Asks Lyra.

How do you think you got away from Zarkon in that last fight? Do you think those shields around Zarkon's command center went down on their own? We've got people risking their lives in this war, just like you said Ulaz.

If you have people on the inside, can they tell me where my family is? They were taken the same time Shiro was said Pidge.

I knew others from Earth were captured. I never saw them, but I have some records of Galra prisoners here. I can transmit them to your ship said Ulaz.

What's that weapon you carry? Asks Keith,

It's a ceremonial blade that each member of our order carries said Ulaz.

Hmm, nice. Huh? Said Keith/

Oh, no! You were tracked said Ulaz.

What? Us? Said Lyra.

If Zarkon knows we're here, it's because you ratted us out said, Keith.

It's another one of Zarkon's robot beast ro-beasts said Hunk.

We have to get back to the ship said, Shiro.

Shiro, wait. These are instructions on how to reach the Blade of Marmora headquarters. Before you go there, find out how Zarkon is tracking you. If you lead him there, our entire underground network, everything we've spent centuries building, will be lost said Ulaz

I knew he cannot be trusted said Allura.

It wasn't him said, Shiro.

How can you be sure? Asks Allura.

It doesn't matter now. What should we do? Said Coran.

Why can't we hide here in the space clam and wait for it to go away? Asks Hunk.

Everyone get to your lions, but don't launch. We'll wait to see what it does. I don't want to risk fighting it if we don't have to said, Shiro.

We should be safe as long as we're hidden in the space pocket said Pidge.

He's drawing in the xanthorium clusters said, Coran.

I think he knows we're here said Hunk.

Hold said, Shiro.

Direct hit! He definitely knows we're here said, Coran.

Get the particle barrier up said Allura.

He's readying another attack said, Coran.

He's pulling us in as well! Paladins, I think it's time to launch said Allura.

Form Voltron said, Shiro

We're exposed! The space fold has been lowered said Allura.

Well, there goes Ulaz said, Coran.

I knew we should never trust a Galra said Allura.

Let's light this thing up. Fire lasers said, Shiro.

He's pulling in more ammo said Lyra.

Move, move, move! Lance, Hunk, give me full reverse boosters said, Shiro.

This thing wants to eat us like we're a space taco said Hunk.

Can't get free said, Shiro.

I'll make him back off said Keith.

We've got to keep some distance between us and that ro-beast said, Shiro.

It's trying to pull us in again said Hunk.

I'm burning thrusters at full capacity and it's not making any difference said, Lance.

Is everyone all right? Asks Allura.

Alive, yes. All right, no said Lyra.

It's going for the Castle said, Keith.

We need some way to stop its tractor beam said Pidge.

I've got an idea. Pidge, form shield! We can use the shield to block the beam said, Shiro.

We stopped the beam. Now, what? Said Keith.

Now, we go on the offensive said, Shiro.

The xanthorium clusters! We can use them said Pidge/

The shield can't handle this much power said Pidge.

We might not be strong enough to beat this thing said Hunk.

Hang on said Ulaz.

Ulaz? Said, Shiro.

I'm going to take it down from the inside said Ulaz.

Ulaz, no! Let us handle this said Shiro.

Voltron is too valuable. The universe needs you said Ulaz/

Get ready said, Shiro.

Ulaz opened up the space pocket from inside! It's falling in on itself said Pidge.

He did it said Hunk.

Ulaz saved us said, Keith.

He's gone said, Shiro.

Sorry, we doubted Ulaz, Shiro said Keith.

He saved all our lives said Lyra.

I still have so many questions said, Shiro.

Do you think Zarkon is really tracking us? Asks Keith.

We cannot know for sure. Only Ulaz knew our whereabouts said Allura.

You don't really think Ulaz gave us up? Asks Shiro.

After he sacrificed himself? Asks Shiro.

Yeah! Maybe Zarkon found out about this place on his own. He's probably been searching for the Blade of Marmora said Lyra,

It's clear the loss of Ulaz has caused you great concern, but, regardless of how Zarkon located us, we cannot stay here any longer. It isn't safe said Allura.

We should meet up with the rest of Ulaz's group, finish what we started said, Keith.

No. We're not going to the headquarters until we figure out how Zarkon found us. We can't risk losing the only allies we have in this war said, Shiro.
