VOLTRON! SPARTAN DEFENDORS! Chapter 2

To start I wish to comment on some of the reviews I have read.

Separatist Supporter- Thank you for noting the mistake that I tend to make, sometimes I mistake spelling one word as a different word. I can't afford a beta reader, as this is just stories I am do in my off hours. Also please do not inform me of the novels as I have not read all the Halo books.

EveShinobiKaiserKnight- Thank you for guessing our pilots, though I already chose Six as Red, and Tom and Lucy are the green pilots.

For everyone else thank you for the positive comments. With that said...

I OWN NOTHING, OKAY SO DON'T SUE ME FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS COOL SO GET OFF MY BACK!

:Start of Chapter Two:

Altean Castle of Lions

The elf like woman in the flowing dress looked around at the different armoured soldiers, some who appeared to shimmer in the light; an old woman in a lab coat and two former prisoners. The elf lady asks, "What are you?"

The Master chief spoke, "We are Humans from Earth, I am Master Chief Petty Officer John 117."

The Elf lady shook her head in confusion as she asks, "But humans were," she clutched her head as the Master Chief lowered her to the ground as she finishes with, "reverted to a pre-technological state, when they attacked the alliance of planets, a thousand-" she stop herself before she stood and went to the terminal in the middle of the room and proceeded to check how long she had been in the pod. She covered her mouth as another pod opened before a man with an orange moustache so large that it freaked the Spartans out.

"INTRUDER ALERT!" he shouts before trying to tackle Six who stepped out of the way while all the Spartans raised their weapons at the Moustached Elf. The man then says after he recovered, "You are lucky that avoided that, otherwise I would have done this, then, that and finished with my patented Coran Lock," as he mimed a punch, then a kick, followed by a head butt and concluded with what appeared to be a head lock while he moved his knuckles in a rotating fashion.

Six looked at 'Coran' and simply replied with, "I would have just done this," he then stepped forward and grabbed one of his fingers before pinching the digit, causing 'Coran' to fall to his knees screaming in pain.

'Coran' screamed as he says, "I will tell you nothing of Princess Allura you barbaians," Six just pinched harder causing 'Coran' to shout, "Okay She is in the castle, just don't harm her," as he had tears waterfall down his face.

"Coran, these are humans that found the castle," The now named Princess Allura answered as she went through the terminal readouts.

"That is impossible," Coran shouts in pain, "They would have needed at least one of the Lions to enter the Castle."

Six who was still holding Coran's finger asks, "You mean the giant red and green metal lions that brought us here?"

Princess Allura and Coran's eyes widened in shock as the Master Chief says, "Corporal release the civilian," he then turned to the princess and asks, "Some of us had a run in with Galra and stole the Red Lion from them, while the rest of our group found the Green lion, both brought us here."

"Of course the Lions have their new Paladins so they came back to the Castle," Coran tweaked his moustache as he adds, "King Alfor always said there was more secrets, most even he never new. Though two lions at the same time that is truly an impossibility."

He was then interrupted by Princess Allura, "Coran, we have been asleep for almost a hundred thousand years!"

Coran looked around and says, "Wow, Great Grandpa did a great job with the castle," he then swiped the wall and revealed the wall was covered in dust, "Needs to be cleaned though."

The Chief was silent as Cortana speaks, "So we have an alien elf princess, her over paid body guard, in a castle more advanced than most the Halo arrays and now I have confused them," as Allura and Coran were looking around and Cortana adds, "Sorry, my name is Cortana, I am the Artificial Intelligence assigned to John here," she flashed the chief's lights, "Though I usually are installed into a battle cruiser-"

"Cortana," Chief spoke, "You're rambling."

"Sorry Chief," Cortana spoke from the Chief's speakers.

Allura looked to Coran before she asks, "Are you sure you are human and not Forerunner? Your armour has the same function as basic Forerunner exo-frames."

Everyone with the exception of Chief, Cortana and Doctor Halsey were confused until Cortana spoke, "That explains Spark's misunderstanding and calling you Reclaimer, Chief."

Whatever was going to be said next was interrupted by Doctor Halsey spoke, "Perhaps we could go to a different room, were we can compare notes." That was when they all heard squeaking.

Galra main fleet-Galra Castle Cruiser-Throne Room

In a room made of purple metal covered in red drapes and carpets, and large purple crystals giving the room a deep purple light. On one throne, was a large husk with glowing purple eyes and cracks in its skin, wearing bulky purple armour and red cape. Next to the throne was an elderly female with the same glowing eyes, and covered in a brownie red cloak with gold trim.

They were both staring at the Galra Warden from the prison over the lava planet. The Warden spoke, "My Lord, a unknown sentient being staged a prison break and stole the red Lion I recently discovered on the planet."

The strange carcuss on the throne raised its head and says, "You failed to bring me the lion and you failed to destroy your prison, where is it now?"

The Warden was silent before answering, "When I returned with the cruiser that collected my pod, the prison had vanished. Without a trace."

The husk then spoke, "You failed, You will be an example and Haggard's new test subject," that was when two Galra robot drones took the warden away.

The Warden shouts, "Lord Zarkon, please have mercy!"

Lord Zarkon's face was emotionless before he says, "Haggard, Continue your experiments, and have the Red Lion Located," his voice booming with dark intent, while Haggard nods.

Castle of Lions-an hour after Allura and Corans' awakening.

The group of sentients went had moved to a what appeared to be the command centre of the castle, with Mendez and Doctor Halsey taking seats, Linda being perched on an alcove next to large screens. The Spartan's were all standing while, Jorge leaned against a wall and Ash, Olivia and Mark sat in the different chairs in front of the terminal around the central circle. Lucy stood next to Tom without her helmet on revealing her pale skin and blonde hair. The Chief stood with his hand out holding Cortana's AI Chip revealing her avatar. Fred and Kelly stood by the door.

Allura stood in the central circle, four alien mice on her shoulders, with Coran to the side. Allura began to speak, "Before we were placed in stasis Voltron was the greatest defence against tyranny and evil across the universe," Allura activated a holographic system that reveals thousands of star systems sized to fit in the palm of an average hand. "The Castle has received distress signals from these systems," the majority of the galaxy was turned red and the section that remained blue where some systems that the Spartans all recognised.

Six from his position spoke, "So Humanity and the Covenant have had the bare minimum exposure?"

Allura then glowed as Corran spoke, "The princess is the key to finding the other Lions," that was when some location had tabs with pictures of the lions appearing.

Chief looked at the location with three Lions appeared, "I take it this is where we are, currently?"

Allura spoke, "Yes," she smiled and says, "Each Lion has a different personality trait," She focused on the green lion, "The Green Lion requires a high intellect and curious mind to bond with the lion," she smiles to Tom and Lucy. "The Red Lion requires its Paladin to trust his instincts and reflexes to match."

"That sounds like Six," Jorge smiled, "He could outfly the best," Six just looked away in embarrassment.

Allura smiles at the banter but continues, "The Blue Lion's Paladin is chosen by the Blue Lion, who shows potential to grow," everyone was silent while the Chief and Doctor Halsey looked to Fred without him noticing.

Though Six was the one to speak, "It's on Earth," this got everyone's attention as he continues, "Chief should go and organise a pickup of supplies. Mainly food, ammo and Medical supplies."

Chief nods at this information and adds "I can also inquire about the Covenant, the Elite's switched sides after the Prophets decided to fire the Halos even when the truth was revealed."

Coran then asks, "Elites?"

"Space faring, Honour bound and would make strong allies is the Galra are really this dangerous," Cortana spoke, Coran was still confused until Cortana added, "They were code named that during the war but it was only during the inital alliance that we learnt they are called the Sanghili." (Probably Butchered the name it was after midnight and if this is still in the final copy I got lazy.)

Coran nods before Allura continues, "The Yellow Lion supports Voltron as the leg of Voltron, it's Paladin supports their fellow Paladins, being strong and furious in battle, while kind and caring with those they protect," every Spartan-II, Six, Mendez and Doctor Halsey looked at Jorge which caused him to look confused.

Six said simply, "You are the one who actually knew people outside the military, learnt the most languages, took and supplied large amounts of fire power, and blew up a Covenant Carrier when Reach was first in danger."

Chief then says, "Just accept it Jorge," he looks to the Yellow Lion hologram and adds, "Besides its already your colour," which was said completely straight face, causing Cortana to laugh in disbelief.

Fred was the first out of shock and says, "I think that was the first time he made a joke outside of the Spartan circle," Jorge, Linda and Kelly nod in agreement, while Doctor Halsey smiled lightly.

Allura then cleared her throat and says, "The Black Lion is courageous and filled with pride, It's Paladin needs to be fearless, brave and must have the total loyalty of the other Paladin's."

"So Chief then," came the reply of each Spartan-II, Six, Cortana, Doctor Halsey, Chief Mendez.

Tom looked around confused when he asks, "Lieutenant Fred-104, is the highest ranking officer here."

Fred looked at Tom and Lucy before saying, "I will save you the headache, Chief could have been the lowest ranking soldier here and we would still follow his orders."

Linda then adds, "Don't take it personally, in our generation we found it easier to follow our own ranking scheme. When Chief makes a plan, it tends to work out more."

Kelly was the next to speak, "Not that he would actually admit it but he did save the universe once already."

Jorge raised an eyebrow and Cortana smiles and says, "Actually he saved the universe twice, destroying the first Halo and then destroying the Ark. Basically stoped the complete genocide of all life forms with a nervous system. Also the Flood Gravemind. Which I will give you all the data I acquired, Doctor." Doctor Halsey gave her a 'thank you' as she opened her Laptop.

Allura then spoke, "We need to get the Blue and Yellow Lions before we can free the Black Lion from the castle."

Coran then spoke, "We can open some wormholes to get to the Blue and Yellow Lions, though we can only keep the portal's open for a standard planetary rotation. Fortunately if you can't return to the castle, the planets will be perfect to spend the rest of your lives on."

Chief nods and says, "Six, you'll take Jorge to get Yellow, Tom, Lucy, Fred and I will go with you to Earth to get Blue, Cortana make a list of items we will need to pick up. Kelly, Linda you two with Ash, Olivia and Mark, ensure secure the castle and the area around it. Doctor Halsey," he looks at the creator of the Spartan-IIs as she reads the files Cortana sent, "Continue, Chief Mendez stick with the Coran. Princess Allura," the princess looks to the Chief, "We will get your Lions back, and do what we can for the Universe." He then heard a loud roar that no one else appeared to hear, with Cortana noticing Chief, impossible to notice, body language as he inserted Cortana back into his suit.

Doctor Halsey then spoke, "John, you should have Cortana include all the files she has collected and see if you can get an AI Computer System. I will see what I can do to repair Cortana," Chief nods before she asks Allura, "Is there a specific function to these Lions?"

Allura smiles before the five holographic lions flew around the room before combining into a giant robot with yellow and blue legs, red and green arms, with the black lion as the chest and head and large red wings on the back. "They form the Universes greatest protector, Voltron."

Doctor Halsey raised her glasses slightly and studies the designs and says, "Five become one, so then it takes five sentients to assemble what could possibly be the second most dangerous weapon in the known universe."

Coran nods in agreement, before his eyes widened and he shouts, "Voltron is the most advanced creation in the Universe."

Cortana simply says, "Can it cause the genocide of all sentient life forms within several hundred thousand light years?" Coran shook his head in the negative, "Unless the other six were destroyed since we were last in contact with Forerunner tech and the rest of the UNSC."

The castle's alarms went off causing some irritation to Six, Jorge and Lucy, who put her helmet back on, as Allura activated the castle sensors to reveal a Galra Warship flying towards their current location. Allura speaks, "This is a Galra ship, but its a hundred times larger than known Galra designs, but follows the same design principles."

Chief asks, "How long till they get here?"

Coran counted his fingers and says, "A couple days."

Chief nods and says, "Then we leave immediately."

Outside the Castle-Ten minutes later.

The Chief, Fred, Tom and Lucy went straight for the Green lion but was stopped by Doctor Halsey and says, "John, take this memory crystal, give it to whoever is in charge."

Chief looked at her and asks, "Is this another moral test? Because I already destroyed the file on Johnson."

"No, it is a matter of the morals of the UNSC," Halsey spoke.

John nods and they enter the Green Lion as Jorge and six enter the Red lion before both lions took flight. Allura then spoke on the communicators, "We can keep the portals open for a few hours, try to retrieve the Lions in that time."

Coran then spoke, "From our navigation database the planets should be peaceful, so if you fail to get back you should be confortable for the rest of your natural lives," and received silence in return.

Kelly then spoke, "We will ensure the castle is secure. Try not to go MIA," as the two Lions flew through their portals.

Sol System-Orbit of Earth-Green Lion's cockpit.

The Green Lion appeared with several UNSC warships taking aim. Chief activated his radio in his armour and says, "This is SIERRA-ONE-ONE-SEVEN, we are inside the craft, designation Green Lion."

That was when he received a reply, "Sierra-one-one-seven, this is Admiral Hood, care to explain how you are inside a giant metal cat and how you got in orbit?"

Fred chose that moment to speak, "Halsey's message turned out to be true, though apparently Colonel Ackerson already knew of the technology involved sir, along with mass production of Spartans."

"Cortana is sending the files now," Chief adds, "Also we have not got a lot of time, We need to locate another Lion hidden on the planet."

Hood was silent, reading the information summary Cortana had added before he speaks, "Chief, you are go, your orders are to recover any tech and any possible hostages. We will have our experts go over the data. Also in relation to Ackerson, if you find him arrest him," The four Spartans were confused, "He has been linked with several terrorist attacks, against government, public and Sangheli control planets. He has been using his own personal Spartans to complete these attacks."

"That no good, dirty, mother!" Cortana shouted before she was muted by the Chief as he says, "Anything else we should know? We are on a time limit," as the lion flies towards the planet.

"Next time you are on Earth, expect a couple medals," Hood joked before becoming serious, "We are sending you a data pack on Ackerson and the results of the war. We can get you all the materials on your list within the hour, they will be on the top of the SPARTAN'S HAMMER," Chief looked at the ship that was the same class as the PILLAR OF AUTUMN.

"Affirmative, Admiral," Chief replied as he read the different files, "We should be finished within the next couple hours. So expect another Lion on our trip back and don't let anyone access through."

"Will do Chief," The Admiral spoke before cutting the connection.

"Permission to speak, sirs," Tom spoke from the controls.

Fred speaks, "I will save you some trouble, when speaking to one another, never request permission to speak, it could mean the difference between life and death."

Chief nods, "Well, during the war, most of the commanding officers I have dealt with were like that. Normally because they were upset that we had to change the plan. Though after the tenth time it happened, we did our best to avoid glory hounds."

The Green Lion flies towards Utah on the North American continent as the Chief gets Tom to continue. Tom asks, "So why was that Admiral so willing to give you aid, sir? It just seemed too easy."

Chief then answered with, "I was promoted, while I have been gone." Fred looked at him with a silent question, "Colonel. I can give you all the files he sent when we are done here," and received three nods of acceptance.

Tom then says, "Do you both believe that Spartans Six and Jorge will be having the same ease?"

Fred and the Chief looked at each other and says, "Nope."

Red Lion-Galra Mining Grounds-That moment.

After the Red Lion exited the portal were forced to dodge the moon sized Galra Warships that were in orbit of the planet. Red barrel rolled between the two warships resulting in the warships to shoot each other.

Jorge then shouts as he tries to stay standing with his mace rolled on the ground, "Six, shoot back! Or at least avoid while flying smoother!"

Six then shouts, "This is the second time I have flown this lion, and I have yet to find a way to fight back," that was when the Lion breathed fire in space and melted the side of one of the warships, "There you go," they entered the atmosphere and proceeded to locate the region that holds the Yellow Lion.

"I thought that Coran said this place was peaceful," Jorge comments as he recovers.

"Hundred thousand years tend to change things," Six shot back, "Though the Yellow Lion appears to be still on the ground. Galra clearly have not found it."

Jorge then asks, "Think, the lion is protected from those seeking it with bad intentions."

Six thought on this as he remembered finding/stealing Red and says, "Yeah, Chief finds us just as a Galra is helping me escape, just as the Warden finds Red. What are the chances?"

Jorge looks to the planet, "We should talk with everyone when we get back."

Six then asks, "Even the Alien princess and incompetent butler?"

"Besides them being experts?" Jorge counters before adding, "Though they need us, just as much as we need them."

Six remained silent as he destroyed all the different fighters and turrets that fired on them. Even melting the different structures until Six landed at a recently started mine, "You get Yellow," with that Jorge jumped out the mouth of the Red Lion and used his chained mace to smash several of the Galra drones working at the sight, surprised to find a lack of drones with weapons.

Jorge runs through the tunnel before finding an elevator, going down at an angle, that he jumped over and ran down the tunnel before finding the walls covered in Lion pictures carved into the wall.

Outside Six continues to blast everything in his way, being faster then everything just so happened to make his life a little easier. A Galra ship from orbit entered the atmosphere as Red Lion equips what appears to be a blade in its jaw before flying around the fish bone shaped ship before the entire craft split into sections.

Underground Jorge finds the walls starting to glow a golden colour before Jorge takes his mace and jumped forward and using the Mace as a Knuckle Duster punched the wall multiple times. After the tenth hit the wall collapsed revealing the Yellow Lion behind a yellow energy barrier.

"Okay, big time to go home," Jorge says, as Yellow Lion's eyes glowed and the barrier lowered. The Yellow Lion roars before lowering its jaw to let Jorge in.

Outside Six managed to blast most of the different fighters but eventually was overwhelmed by a second Galra warship shooting a barrage attack covering a kilometre in every direction around the Red Lion, knocking Red down to the ground. As the Red Lion recovered thirty missiles were launched at him when the Yellow Lion jumps out of the ground shielding the Red Lion from the explosion without Yellow Lion being damaged.

Jorge laughed through the communication system and says, "This is fun," Yellow then jumped into the air before bellyflopping on a group of Galra fighters. "How do I activate the thrusters?" Jorge says in embarrassment.

Six shook his head and says, "Turn the handles clockwise for the right side and anti-clockwise on the left to activate the thrusters, turn them the other way to slow down. Let's get out of here," with that both Lions shot skyward. Yellow tripped on one of the Galra ships as they travel through the wormhole with Red, before the portal closes.

Castle of Lions-Halls.

Coran led Doctor Halsey and Chief Mendez through the halls, the reason being that Halsey needed a place to act as her lab, her reasoning, "I will not have any Spartans using useless equipment."

Coran led them to an old hanger type room with the frame of a Altean shuttle, "This is-I mean was King Alfor's workshop. He always like to tinker with existing technology. Though I am surprised that you needed this space, this was merely a hobby."

Chief Mendez snorted in amusement as Doctor Halsey spoke, "My goal has always been the safety of humanity, whether it is from humanity itself or an outside force. John has already seen the technology this castle has and knowing John he will do his best get the princess' support."

Coran then asks, "Any specific reason?"

Chief Mendez answered, "First Contact Protocol. This is probably the second or third time, but compared to those you and the princess was the first to react positively."

Coran nods his agreement and says, "Yes, many species tend to be hostile to new sentient life."

Allura then spoke over the audio system of the castle, "Six and Jorge have returned," there was silence before she shouts, "What do you mean that Jorge needs PRACTICE?!"

Doctor Halsey nods and says, "That is fare, Jorge has limited experience in piloting."

There was then an Earthquake causing the castle's alarms to go off. Allura then shouts, "Do that away from the castle," followed by, "False alarm. Training something in progress."

Earth-Utah Desert-One hour since arrival.

The Green Lion stood outside of a large cave, Chief and Fred stood behind Lucy as Tom displayed the seismic map of the area. The sensors of the Green Lion penetrated the ground and they see an underground cave that had a Lion Shaped object sealed near an underground lake.

Tom then asks, "We found Green in a forest," Chief adds, "Red on a volcano planet."

"Why do I get the feeling that each of the Lions' has a theme?" Fred questioned.

Tom comments, "That could be an explanation on what each Lion can do," Tom typed on the different holographic screens and says, "From what I see here, the tunnel in front of Green will lead you to a tunnel that will drop you down to the lake holding Blue."

Chief speaks, "Thank you Tom, stay with Lucy up here keep an ear out," with that Chief and Fred left the Green Lion as Tom says, "Yes sir," as he activated the Green Lion's long range sensors.

Once the Chief and Fred left the Lion and entered the cave Lucy stood behind him and absentmindedly massaged Tom's soldier as he sighed deeply.

Inside the Cave

Chief follows Fred as they pass a series of Lion carvings. Fred then stopped as he suddenly raised his weapon and swung his weapon around and asks, "Did you hear that?"

Chief looked at Fred and he says, "Like a lion roaring all around you, yet you can never place it?" Fred nods and Chief says, "Nope, did not hear anything."

Fred glared behind his helmet and says, "So, back at the castle? When you tensed."

"Heard the Black Lion," Chief admits, "It was like I talk to Cortana."

Cortana then speaks only to still be muted, so with a pinch on the Chief's suit he un-mutes her, "How long was I muted?"

"Since the Admiral mentioned Ackerson," Chief admitted as they continued forward, "and considering that you were still shouting until twenty minutes ago," Cortana blinked inside the suit, "Sorry about missing any one liners."

Cortana sighs and says, "You always know what to say to get me to smile."

Fred continued to walk before stopping next to a large Lion emblem and as the Chief came up behind him, a cylinder of blue energy appeared around them and the two Spartans dropped down into the Earth until the fall into the Lake near the Blue Lion. After a minute the two Spartans walked out of the water as Fred says, "The MJONIR armour is great and all, but sometimes I wish I did not sink like a boulder in water," Chief simply nods as they look to the Giant Blue metal Lion in the underground cave.

Chief spoke as Fred went to the Blue domed shield around the robot lion, "Just place your hand on it, it should open."

Fred looked over his shoulder as he touched the shield and before he could ask Chief what was going on, the shield opened and set images through his mind. Images of Voltron, the acts of the Galra in this region of space as they were destroyed by a white pulse of energy turning them atoms along with every other sentient on the planet followed by a large Forerunner Pyramid like structure dropping off hundred thousands of caveman era humans before the pyramid took off and flew back into space. Fred was freed from his visions and says, "Purple aliens was here on Earth but a white light atomised them and all the humans on the planet before some-" Cortana interrupted, "Yeah, Forerunners used DNA samples from before they de-evolved humanity, along with every other sentient Species in Halo's range. Though it could explain why we have not seen many Galra, they have spread thin across their region."

Fred looked confused before Chief spoke, "I saw them too, so Cortana saw them and from her information she took from Forerunner systems on the Halos and High Charity, she can fill in the details," Fred shook his head before the Shield around the Blue Lion lowered and the two entered the Lion through its mouth.

Once inside Fred takes his seat at the controls before he activates the communication system to the Green Lion after some silence the screen appears with Lucy sitting on Tom's lap before suddenly jumping off for Tom to speak, "Sirs!"

"We found Blue," Fred says simply before Blue jumps into the underground Lake before swimming through a series of tunnels before reaching the surface.

Chief spoke, "Fred, have us meet with Green and collect those supplies before we head home."

The Green Lion flew over a mountain range to reach the Blue Lion. After a quick sprint in the Lions they took off over one of the UNSC marine training bases before heading to orbit. As they flew in the vacuum of space as they spot a five kilometre long ship that was as Large as a Covenant Super Carrier, guarding the portal.

Admiral Hood then spoke, "Sierra-117 may I present the INFINITY the first Human long range exploration Carrier. With a full Spartan Faction training facility and enough science facilities to rewrite every human textbook on the universe."

Chief looked at the Human Super Carrier and asks, "Spartan Faction?"

Admiral Hood spoke, "The Spartan Four Program, medical science evolved to the point where we can have adults a less invasive Spartan procedure. No children are involved, and it is volunteer only."

Chief was silent as Fred speaks, "So less overtime, more free days," Fred's attempt at a joke was met with silence from Admiral Hood.

Admiral Hood snorted lightly while Cortana was laughing openly inside the Chief's helmet. The two Lion's reached the SPARTAN'S HAMMER, where they sees two large shipping crates where the two lions used their jaws to collect the equipment as the Chief speaks over the radio, "Thank you for the equipment, Admiral, and apologies for broad casting on an open channel."

Admiral Hood replied with, "God Speed Spartans, just focus on your task ahead," as the two Lions flew through the portal that closed behind them.

Arus-Outside the Castle.

The Green and Blue Lions enter Arus' atmosphere and fly over Red and Yellow as Yellow crashed into a mountain with Six saying, "Jorge, you are doing that on purpose."

Blue and Green reached the castle to find Linda and Olivia with sniper and sniper scope, keeping watch. Blue and Green land at the front gate before dropping the crates before letting the four Spartans out, with the Chief used his radio, "Kelly, we have equipment to unload."

The Chief grabbed an end of the shipping crate before pulling it towards the large Castle as Allura arrived and sees Chief pulling the shipping crate with little effort. After shaking her head she asks, "What did you find?"

The Chief was silent until Cortana speaks, "Some ammo and weapons for the Spartans, Power armour components, food and medical supplies," Cortana's custom Warthog latched onto the other crate and pulled it in, "An AI core for processing and storage. Then there is the Armour enhancements," once the Chief got the crate in, he opened it to find a couple cardboard boxes filled with entertainment, with a small metal box with the UNSC symbol that he took to Cortana, "And a bundle for you your highness, Earth's history and other items that humanity believes will aid you in understanding humanity," inside the box was a series of tablets with labels such as 'dictionary,' 'History' and 'Technology.'

Allura looked through the tablets and asks, "So human's thought to have this sort of item prepared?" Allura then shook her head again and says, "The Galra warship is going to be here sooner than we thought."

With that all four Lions came back in to the castle and the Spartans to enter the Castle which was then all of them return to the Command centre and Coran speaks, "Well I was off in my calculations, finger counting is more of an artform, really."

Allura then spoke, "Now that we have all four Lions we can release the Black Lion and defeat the Galra heading for Orbit."

Chief spoke up, "Not yet," everyone looked at him carefully as he asks, "Can the castle scan the Galra Warship?"

Coran nods before he types on the holographic terminal and says, "It's a long shot, but," the look on Coran's face said it all, "Well thankfully we can see past the Galra's shields, the bad news is I can't find a weakspot."

"Can you see if there is anyone other then Galra on that ship?" Fred adds.

Coran types on his terminal and says, "Strange I can detect two Galra lifeforms, and thirty different sentient Lifeforms."

That was when the Castle was contacted by the Galra Warship, "This is commander Semdak, I have come for the lions for Emperor Zarkon, failure to do this will result in the destruction of the planet. You have until sundown," before he shut down the communication.

Allura appeared upset and says, "Emperor Zarkon?" Allura sat on her knees before saying, "I don't know what to do."

Doctor Halsey entered the command centre before saying, "Trust the Spartans."

Allura was still visibly upset before Coran spoke, "Perhaps you should talk to your father," before he led Allura out of the room.

Chief was thinking as Ash spoke, "How about we get the Black Lion out, take the princess, anything not nailed to the ground, get in the lions go to Earth and mass produce them?"

Six was the reason to answer, "Five Lions that turn into a Robot that could destroy the entire Earth fleet. As long as Colonel Ackerson doesn't get it the better."

Ash looked insulted before Tom says, "Actually, Ackerson is apparently a wanted criminal and terrorist," Ash was confused.

Chief adds, "We have a secondary objective to capture him and any Spartans he is manipulating into his personal army," Chief then adds, "Plus, it is kind of personal."

Cortana then shouts, "OF COURSE IT IS PERSONAL! THAT BASTARD HAS TRIED TO KILL OFF MY SPARTAN, ALL BECAUSE HE WANTED FUNDING FOR HIS PROJECTS!"

Lucy's head turned in confusion as Doctor Halsey asks Cortana, "Cortana what is your mental status?"

Cortana spoke, "I have been feeding the UNSC enough of Ackerson's crimes to have him shot, revived, shot again and repeating until he has spent the ten life sentences are over."

Chief then spoke, "I have an idea to free the prisoners on the ship, they know about Red."

"And Yellow," Jorge adds.

"Then Six and Jorge will distract them and take out any weapons you think you can disable," Chief speaks.

"Red can probably melt through their armour," Six comments, "And out fly them in the process."

Chief then adds, "Fred you will stay hidden as Back up for extraction. Fly out of the Galra's range before hit and run tactics," he turns to Tom and Lucy, "The three of us will handle freeing the prisoners."

Tom then asks, "Sir, perhaps we should have the other Spartans included in the operation."

Kelly and Linda looked uncomfortable as Chief says, "They will be listening to Coran and Allura to help with any defences of the Castle. Plus I don't want to risk the third Generation Spartan-IIIs dying from their augmentations. So once this battle is done we will be giving you three a full physical."

That was when Allura arrived in a tight spacesuit and says, "We are going to fight the Galra and free the Universe from their tyranny. We will reform Voltron and you shall be its Paladins. Follow me," and she walks out the main room.

Chief nods and says, "Follow the princess."

The Paladin Armoury-five minutes later.

The Chief, and all of his fellow Spartans and Doctor Halsey followed the Princess and Coran to a large room near the Black Lion's den, to find a large empty room that had five cylinders extend out of the ground. Revealing five white suits with black undersuit and each with lines and markings that followed the same colour scheme as the five Lions.

Allura speaks, "These are the uniform of the Voltron Paladins," then a table rose from under the floor revealing four strange devices that followed the Paladins suits with the exception of Black, "This are the Paladin Bayards. They take on the form that "

Six collected the Red Bayard which then turned into an extended sword similar to the Covenant Energy sword only solid without the gap in the middle. Six swings the blade a couple times before nodding in acceptance, with a slight smile before he equips his Paladin suit striping out of the Galra prisoner suit and getting completely naked in the process. Allura turned with a large blush of embarrassment while Coran whistled lightly.

Jorge took his next before it turned into a large machine gun. He smiles in content before asking, "Where is the firing range." Only for Six to drop his Paladin Suit over his head.

Tom took the Green Bayard where it turned into a small Blade like device, before handing it to Lucy who looked at the weapon before shooting the glowing green blade forward on a green tether and the being pulled across the room suddenly as Tom chased her down.

Fred took the Blue Bayard where it turned into a rifle with a strange bayonet feature and after turning a second handle on the side of the gun reveal that it was a Laser Chainsaw. (A Altean version of the Lancer from Gears of Wars.)

Allura cleared her throat and says, "I am afraid that the Black Bayard was lost with it's previous Paladin."

Chief nods while Cortana says, "So no new fancy weapon, made by a strange formless weapon?" Chief invisibly sighs before Cortana adds, "Welp, after this we will just have to go have a look later. Though I have a good guess that it will be a large wooden club, for the caveman here," the humour in her voice could be distracting.

Coran looked at the Chief, Fred and Tom and asks, "You really should put on the uniform."

Chief, Fred and Tom after he helped untangled Lucy from the tether. The Chief was silent while Fred spoke, "Do those suits, increase our abilities? Do they have full body personal shields?"

Cortana then asks as Chief raised her AI chip and she says in her hologram avatar, "Can they hold an AI that can control an entire space cruiser?"

Coran could not answer while Tom vanished into thin air and reappeared next to Coran and Doctor Halsey speaks, "If you think I would let any of my Spartans wear that when there is MJONIR available. Start running because I will find a gun and use it on you," causing Coran to step away in a panic.

Allura then says, "But it is tradition for the Paladins of Voltron to wear-"

She was cut off by the Chief, "We have been trained to use MJONIR and SPI armour systems. So until Doctor Halsey has gone over the suits systems we will stick with our current armour." And received nods from all the Spartans. Chief looked to the other Spartans and says, "Get the cargo sorted while we complete the mission. Coran is there any defences in the castle that can be of use?"

Coran stroked his moustache and says, "There is the Particle barrier, that should take at least one shot from the Galra Warship's Ion Cannon, but scans of the Galra Warship indicate that they have updated their weapons heavily. For the fighters there is the defence drones, they need to be controlled from the Paladin stations in the command room. If the castle was in any state to fly we could use the main weapon systems, I will get straight on checking the defence systems and get them online," with that he ran out of the armoury.

Princess Allura was silent before she says, "Wait, you still must understand, Voltron is the protector of peace."

"So we cannot let the Galra get it?" Cortana questioned before she says, "Listen your royal highness. When a SPARTAN SAYS THEY WILL DO SOMETHING NEVER BET AGAINST THEM, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE YOUR LAST MISTAKE!" Princess Allura stepped back at Cortana's rage as Cortana shouts, "Okay Spartans time to get to work!"

Twenty Minutes from Planet Arus-Galra Warship main bridge.

Semdak faced forward as his robotic crew 'manned' the consoles throughout the command room. Semdak's false eye twisted as his oversized prosthetic claw had that was attached to his body by a purple orb between the hand and the shoulder. His second in command steps forward and says, "Sub Commander, all systems are running smoothly."

Semdak nods before the ship's alarms go off allowing the two Galra on board to ship and say, "What is attacking?"

Semdak's second in command reads his tablet and says, "Two Lions, the Red and Yellow Lions have come into range of our ship."

That was when the Red Lion contacted them, "Hold your fire we wish to negotiate."

Semdak looked at Six and says in anger, "Like I would do something so weak as Talk. CRIPPLE THEM AND DRAG THOSE LIONS INTO THE SHIP!"

With that, the Galra Warship opened fire with everything focused on the two lions, never seeing the Green Lion make its move. The Galra warship started to charge it's Ion Cannon only for the Red Lion to super heat it before the Yellow Lion smashed into it, heavily damaging the large weapon, resulting in the phallic shaped weapon leaning to the left. The Galra Warship released a fleet of attack ships to engage them.

With Chief in the Green Lion

The Green Lion attached to the Galra warship without any inconvenience and cut through the hull without any issue due to the Green Bayard cutting through easily. The next obstacle was when they left the Green Lion when Lucy refused to stay behind, but was solved when Cortana says, "Lucy should come with us, I have already hacked the ships internal sensors and have the set their limited external sensors on a loop where we parked." Chief turned towards the hall as a series of drones started walking towards them, only for them to walk past and Cortana to add, "Oh, turns out their internal sensors are also their drones. Can't believe I missed that."

"Cortana," Chief speaks, "What is your status?"

"This system," Cortana starts then says in hilarity, "They don't have anything like an AI, the only defence they have from inside is that their systems are in Galra, which is pointless as their spoken language is what I can say is English with the exception of key phrases. That the closest that I can translate stuff from a comic book."

The Galra drones walk pass while the Chief says simply as they walk passed another set of drone, "Then we should keep your existence a secret from the Galra for as long as possible," they then spot a floating eye box with glowing blue lines. The eye looks at Chief while he stares right back and says, "Cortana."

"Yes Chief," came Cortana's voice from his helmet and the drone, "Follow me," with a ghostly wail as the drone reversed backwards and hit a wall.

Tom and Lucy looked at the drone eye and Tom turned to Lucy and says, "She must have gone Rampant," only for the drone to shoot back and get in his face.

"Cortana," Chief says getting the AI to calm down and lead them to the prison deck. Where they find a corridor filled with cells and the Chief says, "Get these Cells open Cortana."

Once the cells were all open an elderly looking alien speaks, "A Spartan?"

That got the Chief attention, "How do you know what I am?"

"Some of us have seen those like you, others have been told stories," the elderly alien answers before adding, "I have met three over the quintants."

Chief nods and says, "Then we will have to talk once we are done here. Cortana is there any crafts we can 'borrow' from the Galra?"

Cortana then says, "Yeah talk dirty," which made the Chief slightly uncomfortable, "Sorry Chief," she was silent for a few seconds as all those around the Chief looked at him strangely as Cortana did not conceal her voice, "They have drop pods that act as both drop ships and long range cargo haulers. I can program them all to launch across the planet empty while the former prisoners are returned to the castle. I have already prepped a sub-routine to screw the two Galra on board."

Chief then says to the former prisoners, "Alright everyone, we are getting you out of here. And the Galra are supplying the transport." With that they followed Cortana's drone and once the prisoners spotted the Galra drone Soldiers Cortana says, "Good thing the Galra are idiots with technology, otherwise they would be able to see us and probably get their heads knocked off faster than they could twitch."

"Cortana once we are gone," Chief starts before Cortana finished with, "Already done, these drones will start malfunctioning and attacking each other as soon as we leave with the Green Lion."

The Elder questioned them, "You found the Lion?" Chief looked over his shoulder at the question before the elder speaks, "Most of us have been sent to worlds with an abundance of specific requirements with our Galra Guards would constantly shout about how they will gain honour and other crap."

Chief simply looked forward and says, "We found more than that," they reach the pods with the Chief saying, "Get in, we will see you on the ground," the aliens nod their thanks to the Spartans before running in.

The three Spartans then make their way back to the Green Lion as Tom asks, "Why were we freeing them again for?" getting a nod from Lucy, "After the war with the Covenant, I would believe that you wouldn't be so willing to help."

They reach the Green Lion as Chief says, "They don't deserve this, they are not our enemy and even I know when not to shed blood of those who are not at fault."

Lucy nods while Tom questions, "And if we come across a member species of the Covenant?"

"Then we see what happens," Chief answered, "The Elites understand the real reason that the war continued, while I do not know about the other member species." They enter the Green Lion as Cortana sends the signal to the other Lions, her hack Galra Eye Drone following them.

With the Red and Yellow Lions

Six and Jorge had continued their attack with the Ion Cannon taking a more pretzel shape Jorge Literally staying still on the Warships top hull as all the fighters could not attack the Yellow Lion due to it's position on the Galra Warship. The Yellow Lion twisted its head as Jorge says, "I should consider taking up art. What do you think Six?"

Red Lion flew by and Six says, "Sure when not in the middle of a fight," He melts several Galra Fighters, "Unless you want to follow Jun and Emiles' idea of art, Silently killing all his enemies, or cutting up your enemies in new and insane ways," he shot past the Ion Cannon and melted the tip.

Jorge was silent before he sighs as the Cannon fused into slag, and says, "Welp, there goes our first piece Yellow," he hears a light growl of agreement, "Yeah, he definitely needs a hobby," the Yellow Lion took off.

The Green Lion flew passed before an light blue beam hit the side of the warship and proceeded to cover the craft in ice that that the Red Lion super heated the section of the ship causing the side of the ship to explode breaching several decks of the Hull. Fred then says, "I am definitely seeing a theme here!"

The Chief then spoke over the radio, "Okay Spartans lets head back to base," With that the four Lions headed back, with the Red Lion shooting the main engines on the warship before catching up to the other Lions. Chief then says, "Really Six, we already disabled the engines," with that several other systems exploded, "We set the drones to sabotage the ship," when the fighters started to kamikaze into the warship.

Fred hears the Blue Lion growl in humor and says, "You said it, girl. John always leaves a statement," never questioning the who he was talking too.

The Galra warship-Main Bridge

Semdak was destroying several of the Drones on the bridge before he says, "TURN THEM OFF NOW!"

His second in command shoots another drone in the head and proceeded to type on the terminal before growling and shooting the system in anger turning all the drones off and says, "I will need to rebuild the drones' control system," that was when the entire ship shook.

The two look forward and Semdak says, "What is happening!"

His second in command looks at the engineering console and says, "We are being pulled by the planet's gravity. The ship's engines cannot compensate," as the outer hull began to overheat.

On the ground-A quarter of the planet away from the Castle of Lions-Dead lands of Arus.

The Four Lions were on a hill a couple hundred miles away from the calculated crash point, as they watch as the ship crash and burn with Jorge saying, "So whose idea was this?"

Cortana was the one to answer, "While the drones destroyed everything on board I had the ship crash itself where no one could get injured. Except the crew of two Galra, who without an escape pod have a zero point zero zero zero one percent chance of surviving the crash."

The Warship crashed in a mighty explosion before the Chief says, "Let's head back."

Castle of Lions-One hour later.

Allura was tapping her foot as the Four Lions were parked on their spots in front of the Black Lion's Den. The Chief stood in front of the door to the Black Lion, The Four Lions roared after releasing their Paladins with their eyes glowing.

The Chief hears growling before the Black Lion's Door opened and the Black Lion roars and shakes as if waking up from a deep sleep before he stares at the Chief, who stares right back, seeing into his soul before lowering its' mouth to the Chief who stood still. The Black Lion then chomped down on the Chief who asks, "Want to go for a stretch?" the Black Lion roared before jumping over the other Lions and shooting forward. As they ran out of the Castle of Lions, Chief began to speak to the Black Lion, "I know you can understand me and I can understand you. That begs the question, why were you sealed?"

The Black Lion was then joined by the other Lions, with Fred in Blue asking, "So what's the plan Chief?"

The Chief said in simplicity, "Training and getting to know our Lions."

Jorge smiles, while Tom and Lucy nod accepting their orders. Fred contacts Doctor Halsey with the details.

Six though sits at the controls for the Red Lion before violently coughing. He looks to his hand as he finishes to see that he coughed up blood.

:End of Chapter Two:

With that I give you the second Chapter, as they had handled their missions with the precision of Spartans who are known to fight armies using whatever they can get, and MJONIR armour that are connected straight to their brains.

So understand that this is FANFICTION! YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HOW I DO THIS! WRITE YOUR OWN!

With that piece said, I end this chapter with two things...

1: Cortana took down a Galra Warship by literally mind controlling the 'Crew'

2: Going to work on two different Ideas that do not follow my current stories.

UNTIL NEXT TIME! BEWARE THE WRAITH!
