Fair Warning!
This story is set in an alternate universe of the original VDOTU canon...with the three voltron teams(lion,vehicle and gladiator),being more like their original anime versions:beasts king golion,Armored fleet Dairugger XV and electrogod Albegas),which are more mature than their American counterparts so reader discretion is strongly advised as this story contains light profanity,graphic violence,trauma/PTSD and more,so please reframe from reader if you are of a young age (below the age of 16 or over)
Author's note:
Hello and apologizes if you were a fan of the original gladiator voltron story but I felt that it had too many spell errors.
1.unlike the original concept of the cartoon this story is more akin to power rangers as they more likely kill their enemies rather to capture them.
2.I don't really have a good grasp of the original anime electrogod Albegas so I will be using elements from other mecha/giant robot anime and manga.
3.the gladiator voltron that features in this is very different then what was original attend as in addition to the three original gladiators/Mecha of Alpha,Beta and Gamma(Delta,Epsilon and Zeta)
4. I always saw king Alfor as a prophet/ massiah figure in the DOTU canon...given that their is not much about king Alfor's past...I will be flashing that out a little bit.
5.the gladiator force are abit mistrustful of the lion force due to their strong connection with the galaxy alliance.
One additional sidenote:
Since the original voltron series did not have specific dates...I will be using a slightly altered version of the beasts king golion calendar.

Act 1
Allura's pov (point of view)
The utter vastness of the cosmos stretched out before me,it's dense emptiness an illusion which was swiftly shattered by millions upon millions of faint-distant lights that lay scattered across it's inky black canvas. I know that some of those lights represented worlds...solar systems,worlds-planets hundreds of thousands,of light years away from where I and my friends were-our lions almost drifting along the cosmos...I know that these lights that weren't worlds were stars sat provided both warmth and life to their own solar systems, and they aid too their solar systems; and they too twinkled and give aid to chase away what would otherwise would have been complete and almost absolute darkness.
The five lions of voltron swiftly streak across the long void-a brilliant rainbow colored streams of light trailing close behind us;as the five lions flew in a wide 'V' shaped formation with black lion as always leading the way ahead with the other four not too far behind.
I looked out to the vast-emptiness that lay between twinkling stars...so far and so dim...almost like glow bugs frozen in,I sigh disparatently as looked out at the silent beauty of the universe;coran lightly tapped on my shoulder and I immediately looked back at him and nanny,who of course refused to stay behind on Arus despite my strong insistence that our people needed someone to stay behind and lead them...fortunately aunt Orla was available to temporarily rule the planet until we returned.
"...What is it coran?"I asked curiously raising a brow,"apologize princess...but it would appear that we are receiving a transmission from the castle of lions!"coran says pointing to the communication screen
I looked down at the controls to see a small red light blinking over the lion's communication screen
I pressed the blinking button underneath the communication screen."zzk zzk...Allura-zzzk Allura do you read me?"my aunt Orla's voice asked in slightly staticky and crackled as her image ripply coming into focus;as the image settles-clearing just enough to see her face...but there was still a little static-though the audio was now perfectly clear.
"Allura...Allura can you hear me?"Aunt Orla asked
I smiled softly and nodded as I answered:"yes auntie...we can hear you just fine."I said with a faint smile on scarcely showing on my face."...Allura I know this is abit last moment but I thought you should know that our sources have been able to pinpoint captain Xriaus's last known location."aunt Orla says plainly with a clearly troubled expression on her face."...queen Orla are you certain of this?"coran asked quickly chiming into the conversation with a startled expression.
Queen Orla shook her head certainly."yes...and that's not all!"All three Of us jointly raised a brow curiously"oh...what else is there aunt Orla?"I asked with my heart skipping a beat as auntie Orla took along and nerve racking silence before continuing on.
Elsewhere...
Act 2
Third person's pov
Prince Lotor sat impatiently in his command chair with one leg lazily draped over the other...a wineglass in his left hand-blood red wine;Lotor stares almost intensely into the blood red wine...his own reflection rippling in the crimson red liquid in the small glass,briefly the calm and steady image of princess Allura of the planet Arus appears in the crimson liquid.
"Prince Lotor?"The witch Haggar says approaching the young prince of doom
The prince of Doom's yellow scleras quickly glowed with an icy glare of disgust aimed at the old-haggard drule woman and her twisted dark blue cat;Lotor did not wish to bring the old witch or her creature along for this mission...but alas his father king Zarkon ordered that the witch accompany his son
Lotor raised furrowed brow at the old witch-lips twisted into hideous half grin,"...what is it Haggar?" Lotor said in an almost sigh like tone as he takes a rather long sip of wine;the old witch's cat hissed with it's eyes began to glow a sinister crimson color.
Haggar places a soft and gentle hand the neck and upper back of the dark blue cat's head; the old witch gives a crooked and haggard smile with her faded purple irises almost beaming with new life."Ah my young prince... I thought you'd like to know that we will be arriving at our destination."Haggar says giving nodded
Lotor nodded back faintly with a clear look of disinterested and almost boredom plainly on his face.
Soon enough...Lotor's flagship lands gently in the target like center of a large-circular steel landing platform where a man of Arusian descendent stands waiting;the lower part of the ship's black hall quickly opens with a revolving ramp-way sliding down with both prince Lotor and Haggar roll down the ramp-way with the man giving a polite bow and almost milk-warm smile and icy toned courtesy."...prince Lotor,lady Haggar...my name is Raible...formerly of the planet Arus!"the man introduced himself with a flat and almost artificial tone of voice.
Prince Lotor rose a skeptical brow,"...you are from Arus?"he asked carefully examining the man...he was older-not quite as old as his father king Zarkon or haggar but definitely a go five decades a head of Lotor with graying lines with clean shaven face that still had more than relatively young say for a few gray lines; the man's mouth quickly curved up into a crooked smile with faint glimpses of surprisingly pearly white row of teeth."...why yes...Though I was exile after a 'minor' genetic experiment involving our dear late king Alfor's only remaining daughter!"Raible says with an icy tone of indifference in his already flat and almost artificial tone in his voice; prince Lotor had long grown infatuated with the Arusian princess and would have drawn his laser-charged longsword,and issuing some-sort boastful threat...but there was something about this man...this...Raible-that made the prince of doom's blood run ice cold.
Prince Lotor nodded slightly nervous and shyly insisting that they continued on with their business."Ah yes...but enough doddling...please follow me!"Raible says giving a slight gesture for the two to follow closely.
Prince Lotor briefly look of worry to Haggar...the old witch's already wrinkled face crumbling up in suspicion."...tread lightly my young prince...this man is more dangerous than he appears!"the drulan prince nodded again agreeingly and soon enough both he and Haggar quickly followed their 'host' inside the impressive giant dome like structure.
Act 3
The planet Altea.
Allura's pov
The lions quickly entered the hospital atmosphere of an alien world not registered on any of the galaxy alliance's star maps of the middle universe;I stare intently at my lion's scanners."...not sentient life forms anywhere-"Hunk quickly chimed."yeah...well maybe it's under developed world!"the yellow lion pilot said plainly with a faint smile of confidence.
I sadly shook my head."...no hunk...my scanners are picking artificial structures...cities,towns and villages all on the planet's surface!"I said feeling deep down in my gut,"yeah me too!"Lance says confirming my previous statement...then add to saying that he was picking seven distinct life signs nearby on the planet's surface.
"...Alright team...according to the scanners five of the life signs are coming from due north east of our current course... the remaining two due north west-"Keith says quickly analyzing the dataon his lion's scanners."...so let's split up to cover more ground...Hunk and pidge...you guys go investigate the two life signs at north west/...princess,Lance will go check out the five at north east!"he finishes and the whole team agrees unanimously.
"Right!!"the whole team parts...the five lions quickly breaking formation.
Act 4
Meanwhile...
Alfor's pov
The cool-brisk summer breeze gently tussles my golden-honey blonde hair as my head lazily rested on the lap of my adoptive older sister,Hira smyth."Alfor!Alfor wake up!" I heard her say with a strong sense of urgency;I immediately sat upright with my eyes slightly whencing from the bright orange light of the planet's two twin suns quickly bathing the calm plains not to far from Albegas mountain.
"What is it big sis?"I asked puzzled as turned back to face her.
*Rooaar*
The thunderous roaring of lions quickly broke the serene silence-I quickly looked up with my eyes almost instantly going wide."...are those-"I began to say but Hira finished the rest of the sentence."...robot...lions...yeah definitely!"she says sounding just as stunned and in the dark as I was-I quickly shook off the feeling disbelief and turned to Hira with a more serious expression."...contact the others!"
"Right!"Hira said sending out a communication signal to the rest of the team.
A short while later...
Hira and I quickly trailed after the two robot lions for almost half an hour on our hoverbikes before they landed;the lions lowered their heads and two figures quickly climbed out...the one in green appearing no taller than me-only a few inches shorter...the one in golden yellow was the exact opposite having a high more akin to Brax with the hulking build to match.
Hira gave me a cautious and calculating glance."So what do you think little brother?"she asked in the tone that was cold and prudently.
I solemnly shook my head."the short one should be little trouble...but the big one might be more a challenge-"I shook my head again."...better to play this one safe!"Hira nodded agreeingly
The two appeared to be looking for something...someone."hey you two!"I shouted boldly stepping into the wide open of the light wilderness outside along abandoned village;the two strangers...the short letting out a faint squeak like sound.
"...Who are you?"Hira asked sternly with her lazerpistol square at the big one.
The man quickly raised his hands in what appeared to be a friendly gesture with a shaky smile...though it was hard to say if this was legitimate or merely an order to get us to lower our guard-the short one with the round lensed glasses nervously grinning too.
Both Hira and I briefly shared a faint look of contemplation our slightly meeting as to not fully take there eyes off the two."...well?"I asked her and she replies with warm yet weary smile."ok... I will be asking a few questions...and Except each you to answer truthfully got it !"the two nodded affirmatively.
Lower my pistol slightly with a stern yet strangely curious expression plain on my face."...ok first thing first...do you understand the words that I am saying to you?"I ask plainly with a slightly blunt tone.
"Yes"the short answered with not so much as a hint of hesitation.
I nodded approvingly before asking my second."...what are your names... and remember no lies!" I warned raising my laserpistol."...my name is Darrell Stoker...but my friends call me pidge!"the green lion pilot said with shaky smile."my name is Tsuyoshi Garret...you can just call me Hunk."the big one says with equally awkward smile.
Hira and I again exchanged a briefly glance."alright this next one is simple...are you two members of the lion force!"I asked plainly with a still slightly hostile tone."yup!"the big one...err...hunk says confirmingly with pidge asking own question:"...are you members of the gladiator force?"
Hira gave a faint chuckle."' gladiator'?"she blurted out amused
I fully lowered my laser-pistol and quickly a slightly boisterous smile of my own."we call them warriors...but you can call them gladiators if you want."I said hostlering my laser-pistol with light nod."...my name is Alfor smyth...but you can just call me Al for short!"I introduced myself."...and this is my older sister Hira !" I said giving a sly gesture towards Hira,who winked flirtingly with a mischievous grin scarcely danced on her lips.
Pidge quickly gave an almost wide eyed expression of shock with his graze sharply focused on Hira.
"...She looks princess Allura!"Hunk whispered to his much shorter comrade
Hira quickly raised her laser-pistol."'princess'...you brought a bloodborn with you?"she almost shouted and I quickly follow suit with my own laser pistol...naturally making sure to aim for the big guy first." I have one final question for the both of you...what is your mission here-and rem no lies or else-"I say shooting next to Hunk's left military boot lightly scuffing it.
"Yanks...yeah yeah crystal!"he said nervously as he saw the dark burn mark on the toe of the right golden-yellow boot.
I smile wickedly."good...tell us what is your mission here?"
Elsewhere on the planet Altea...
Act 5
Allura's pov
Keith leads us to a wide and Rocky Mountain range...blue and red lion closely following black as thick forests swiftly gave way to a rocky-snow capped mountains;it was not before long the lions were approaching the tallest mountain-Keith's image suddenly appeared slightly shaken."zzk Lance...princess can you hear Me?zzk zzk" I answered first," ...yes Keith we can hear...though not well I'm afraid."I said with a wry smile.
"...Heads up you guys...looks like we have incoming!"Lance said
Soon enough both Keith and I see two robot gladiators swiftly launch out from the right side of the mountain;the colors an exact match of the red and blue lions-the blue gladiator soon sent a communication signal to all three lions.
"...strange?" Coran said curiously placing a finger to his chin-I looked back at him puzzled."...what do you mean coran?"I asked with a furrowed brow raised."...Oh nothing your highness...just an old man thinking out aloud!"he answered immediately without any pause or hesitation.
I do not press the issue any further but The cryptic tone of coran's words."princess!"Nanny says and instinctively turned to face her,"...yes nanny ?"I say in a tone more be fitting a child than a young woman,nanny quickly pointed at the communication screen where the rather handsome face of a young man wearing a navy blue voltron force uniform with the Arusian symbol for Beta...a fact that takes me a back.
The young man quickly flashed a charming smile."greetings...I am Adamus son of Raimon... and on before of my entire team I welcome you to Altea."the young man said kindly introducing himself,"Altea?"I say repeating his words with a tight knot suddenly twisting in my stomach.
Soon enough...
The two gladiators almost immediately lead the three of us into a hidden cave entrance hidden underneath the waterfall;I gently landed my lion on a strange encircled stone landing platform encarved into the floor of the cavernous floor.
The blue lion's head lowers with it's mouth opening."where on Arus are we?"I asked softly in a soft-almost whispered tone of voice."...nowhere...this is Altea not Arus."An older man...I'd say somewhere in the same age group as coran or nanny says walking into the room to the room to greet us.
My eyes goes wide my pupils going wide with stunned-shock,"F-father?"I say half absent most mindedly...not fully realizing what I had just said until it was too late,my face turning a bright shade of pink somewhat sheepishly-clearly showing under my helmet.
"No...but judging by your confusion I guess you most be Alllura...Am I correct?"The man asked and I nodded affirmingly,"y-yes... I am Allura daughter of king Alfor and Queen Melenor... and crowned princess of Arus !"I staring deeply into the calm crystal blue eyes...the same eyes that coran and nanny said that my father to have,"prince Raimon?"nanny said briefly before quickly placing a hand over her mouth in shock...'prince Raimon' the name was
The man laughed almost amused."...it's just Raimon now... I denounced all royal titles I may have had long ago!"The man Said slightly weary smile.
Lance snickers amusingly."wait second...You mean this old guy's some sort of prince?"he says doubtingly as he pointed right at right at Raimon nodded affirmatively,"yes... I assume you know of my twin brother king Alfor of Arus?"I said sarcastically
"What?"Keith said stunned before quickly looking to coran."...coran is that true?"he asked with a puzzled expression plainly showing
Coran quickly placed a balled fist before letting out a fake cough."yes well you see we have all assumed that the prince royal was...that is too say is we thought he was...was-"the young man-who appeared to be in his late teens...if not early twenties quickly interjected,"dead?"he says plainly with a slightly morbid smile on his face-coran nods affirmatively and the young man let's out a eerie laugh that sends goosebumps up my spine."nah my old man is not that easy kill!"he says with a tone that was more than a little unsettling.
Lance gave a friendly nudge on Keith's shoulder with a cheesy smile scarcely showing on his face." Hey yeah that's right...you did introduce yourself as 'son of Raimon' earlier!"he with his arms folded back behind his head."...guess that would make us cousins huh princess."Adamus says with a now kindly smile on his face."yes" I say warmly."...and Al too I suppose!"Adamus says and I instantly give a puzzled look."Al?...who's Al?""Keith asked confused and I find myself share the sentiment;Adamus again laughed...this time his sounding more amused and playful than anything else.
Young woman-who appears to be of drule descent by the looks."our leader-"my uncle Raimon quickly chimes in."...and Allura's son!" Uncle Raimon said and I instantly
A short while later...
After along...and admittedly tear filled explanation all eyes are on...Keith's being the most hurtful as looked at me with neither anger or even judgment...no they were...distant...cold with an undeniable look of betrayal and hurt... I don't blame-nanny tries her best consulate me...but deep down I know on some level I semi deserved this...uncle Raimon shrugged his shoulders," I am so sorry...I truly am...but Al stated that if neither you or Lotor were dead...well less said after that the better!"
"Aye"Adamus says as if on unanimous agreement with his father and my heart almost sinks.
Bvert bvert bvert!!
Thankfully the all too relieving sound Of an alarm goes off and I almost welcome the thought of an enemy robeast or maybe even surprise visit from prince Lotor...but I would I love to see the look on his face when I tell him all about 'our little secret'...ha bet he'll deny the whole thing...or try to use it as away to prove that his sick and twisted remonetized reality he's built around us.
We all rushed to go check and see what set off the alarm.
Act 6
Alfor's pov
Hira and I ride with Pidge in his green lion...huh well that's One thing different about our teams...but I wouldn't say differencing names for our vehicles is means to stick a knife in his back...not yet anyway,I diligently keep my eyes the green lion pilot...only peeling away briefly to give the occasional directions...but always making sure not to let my guard down fully while doing so-until finally arriving at the base inside Voltron mountain ...hey I've heard cheesier and worse names for a base.
"Hey pidge-"I said carefully rising of my seat and quickly leaning on the left handed side of the short pilot's seat."...do you mind scooting over a little so that I can enter the clearance codes for Hira and me?"pidge nodded seem too understand...he immediately scooted over to one side and turned his slightly the right...appearing not to look as enter both mine and Hira's clearance codes.
Hira gave light nod to affirm that the green lion pilot had not peeked the during the entire time;the two lions gently landing in the main hangar where most of other vehicles...namingly air and water vehicles...three color coded robot lions match like the green and yellow lions...which means a good portion of Hunk and Pidge's story checks out.
The others were waiting for us...along with the rest of who I can only assume to the rest of the lion force-I say assume because two of them were not in uniform...one was a well dressed older man with a brilliantly made cane...though whether the cane was merely for show or if the man actually needed it was about an even 50/50...the other was an older and round woman dressed in what I can only assume to be some serving woman's outfit."pidge! Hunk!"the young woman,who must have be princess Allura...though I'm bit surprised that the lion force didn't go for the whole color scheme theme by having their uniforms match the colors of their lions...and I mean the princess's uniform was pink...none of the lions were even that color."...you must be princess Allura-"Hira said briefly before kneeling down onto one knee...I rolled my eyes but did the same keeping my eyes level with the bloodborn's."...I am Hira smyth daughter of Xraius -"she introduced herself before giving light gesture towards me,"...this charming little fellow is my younger brother Alfor smyth son of Xraius!"I give a convincing enough smile."no!"the young woman says with a tone that was almost bitter and ice cold.
The princess's face seemed to darken at the mere mention of my name-oh boy here we go."princess,what are you-"pidge began to ask but the bloodborn of-course interrupted."he isn't captain xraius's son pidge...he's mine!"princess says sounding almost solemnly.
"What?"Hunk says stunned-his already black eyes washed with the black of his pupils.
The one lion force pilot in blue...who I am going to assume is the red lion pilot Lance based off what pidge and Hunk told me and my sister,walked forward with a friendly and slightly sly smile."it's true...little guy's the princess's baby boy!"he says in an almost teasing tone,the princess's face turned almost turned a blood shade of crimson red."yes well... it's all along story!"she says not taking her eyes off of me."which I told you part of already!" I said chiming in.
The princess frowned,"Alfor... I'm sorry that I was there for you but-"I quickly cut her off before she tries to make some sort of long winded cheesy soap opera like apology."...ancient history princess...let's just move on to the other reason you came here!" I say plainly with flimsy smile of icy courtesy."...'other reason'?"the young woman says a puzzled look plainly showing on her face.
I sighed lightly pinching my temple."the drules your highness the drules." I elaborate further...trying my best to sound annoyed in anyway.
"Oh"the blood-born said with a slight tone of sheepish embarrassment."...uncle Raimon has well briefed us on your side of the situation!" The princess says in a sad sounding tone.
The princess wording instantly struck a core with me;oh right she's Raimon's niece... and Adamus's paternal cousin-I quickly turned Raimon with still serious expression on my face."...were you able to locate of Raible's new lab?"I asked plainly and Raimon slightly nodded in response.
"...well then let's get to work!"I say with a faint grin
"Right!!"the rest of the team plus the lion force shouted in unison
Raimon gave only one objection before we:"...Alfor I'd advise caution before taking sudden or rash actions!"he warned with a serious tone in his voice-I grin slyly."oh come on Raimon when are we anything but careful ?"Raimon just gives me a knowing glare-his lips curved up into a skeptical smile."ok ok we'll be extra careful you have my word!"I weakly promise before racing off to my warrior alongside the rest of the team.
Act 7
Soon enough...
Third person's pov
Prince Lotor sat cross legged in his command as he watched both the lions and warriors of voltron quickly race towards the trap that awaited them in the dense asteroid belt that encircled the uninhabited moon that the'good' Arusian scientist Raible."...how much longer scientist?"Lotor asked in a rather boorish and impatient tone of voice."...patience is a virtue my young prince!"Raible told the prince of doom-he tone neutral of voice...his manner speak that of an artist tasked with creating a grand masterpiece.
Lotor snared angrily but Raible pays little mind to that...a factor that both's enraged the prince of doom and yet at the same time unnerved him greatly-the witch Haggar lightly cackled with her dark blue familiar cat hissing with amusement;Lotor gave the two a ice cold death glare and they immediately ceased their hackling.
The two voltron teams approached the red zone for the trap and Raible grins eagerly as he quickly entered a sequence of launch codes that sends out a missile like cylinder launching out the under hall of the drule vessel.
"...This creature of your's better be all that you promised Raible!" Prince Lotor warns but the scientist merely waves it off again."oh this is merely a trial...a mere testing of the lion force's capabilities!"Lotor scuffs unimpressed and dismissive...but again Raible paid little to no attention to this.
No...instead his attention was fixed onto the battle that was soon about unfold.
Act 8
Allura's pov
The gladiator force carefully leads us through the dense field of asteroids...their warriors elegantly gliding through the thick maze of shifting iceberg like chunks of well...ice-moonn sized meteorites and a rather nasty unstable energy of the planet's fluctuating magnetic shield.
I almost throttle the controls-letting out a series of earth curse words that I picked up from the guys...though I barely understand what must of them mean."zzk zzk Hira...zzk Hira what's the problem?"a voice asked worriedly over the communications channels."Alfor?"I asked curiously...the communication screen was all static but The voice...the voice was clear enough to identify"princess?"He answered almost stunned."...yes.!" I replied slightly sighing at Alfor calling me 'princess' instead of mother." Zzk hello princess...zzk can you still read me zzk?"he asked,"yes...though your communication is coming up staticky?" I said with a sense of dry humor...for a moment there was an uneasy feeling of foreboding as the distorted sound of Alfor's voice is swiftly replaced with the unsettling buzz of static...fortunately this didn't last long as another familiar voice soon came onto my communication channel...this time a crackled-staticky image scarcely appearing on my lion's communication screen.
"Zzk Zzk princess...Zzk princess can you read me zzk ?"the voice was still a a little jumbled...there was mistaking it... it was Keith...without a shred of doubt.
I quickly fiddle with the communication's control-trying... and greatly hoping that the signal,"Keith...Keith do you read me?"I asked half not expecting an answer-thankfully Keith does respond:"zzk princess...princess... I read you loud and clear!" I secretly sighed faintly in relief-but that relief was shortly lived."...alright gang if any of you can hear me...we need to form voltron...now!!"Keith said sounding almost panicked... and when I looked out the right eye shaped window of blue lion... I immediately see why !
A bright lightning shaped bolt of pure energy suddenly appears in a brilliant flash of light that's almost blinding as I have to place a hand above my eyes to keep from completely becoming blind; I squint just enough to get a decent enough look at what appeared to be...well it wasn't a robeast...at least not the traditional sense...no this was something neither I or the rest of the team had ever seen before...a living creature made entirely of pure energy.
"Hey any of you guys seeing what I'm seeing?"Hunk asked sounding stunned
"Yeah...but I still don't believe?"pidge replied
Keith's voice was the next speak out,"...well whatever it is... I don't believe it's a robeast at all!"he said sounding as nervous than I had ever heard him,the next voice wasn't one of the guys,"you are correct captain...it is a robeast...in fact this creature is something that you and your compatriots have never seen before!"a chillingly familiar voice stated with an almost ice cold tone."who-"
"Raible!"I say with clear destain in my voice as the man's name bitterly escapes my lips
I heard the rest of the team's collective shock,"this is Raible ?"Lance says with his usual inappropriate sense of battle humor... I give a faint sigh,"yes...is this-this creature most be one of his experiments!"I almost spat out bitterly,"...well whatever it is... it's going down!"Keith proclaimed determined."heh bold claim captain Kogane... though I wonder if truly have the strength to back it up such bravado?"Raible confidently mocks,"...sounds like a challenge...alright gang time form voltron!"he proclaimed almost eagerly
"Wait Captain !"Alfor's voice cries out
"What?"Keith says greatly confused
Hunk was next to speak,"...why not?" The yellow lion pilot,"...because I have a plan... and in order for it to work I need both you and your team to play along !"
'Plan'? I thought silently as I began to listen intently.
Act 9
Third person's pov
Back on board Lotor's command ship ...
Lotor and Haggar stare wide eyed and with jarred mouths at the sight of the electric like creature."what in the name of the infernal gods is that?"prince Lotor asked stunned-the witch Haggar also curved her lips down into a disapproving scowl."it is certainly no robeast."she says almost bitterly-Raible's lips part widely to reveal a tooth grin as what can only be described as a gleam of pride sparkles in his eyes."no...it is not!"
"What?"Lotor roars quickly rising from his command chair
"Oh don't worry my young lord ... I assure you that this creature is just as any robeast...and in any case this is merely a test to measure the lion force's strength !"Raible says with an icy tone of politeness
Soon enough three watch as the two voltron teams each quickly form their own incarnations of the mighty robot voltron.
Act 10
Alfor's pov
Voltron let's out a large burst of electric like energy gradually dies down as the mighty robot's hydroelectric muscles quickly flexed...for a bright moment I take notice of the lion force's voltron...it's hands and feet...more specifically how the hands and feet were merely the heads of the red,green,yellow and blue lions,(abit impractical but hey the team isn't dead so I guess they get the judge done!)
I quickly shook my head clear of these thoughts before quickly returning my focus to the task at hand.
"...alright Captain Kogane...are You and your team ready?"I say tightening my fingers around the bars of Alpha's controls.
"...You sure this is a good idea Al?"Alpha asked through our shared mental link
I sigh inwardly and answer:"no...but it's the only one I've got!"
"...Well I'm with you until the end partner."Alpha said confidently
"Thanks mate...now let's get too it!"I say as voltron quickly materializes the Alpha form weapon...a blazing hard plasma energy sword construct and rectangular shield.
"...Impressive !"Captain Keith said amazed by the appearance of a shield
I take just a little bit of pride at that... but I still remain focused on the task at hand;the energy creature let's out a curdling specter like shriek-it's energy based body quickly zigzagging across the debris field.
"...you and your team ready captain ?"I ask preparing switch to Delta formation.
The image of the lion force's leader was still a little jumbled... but I still see the makings of a grin scarcely showing on his rippling face-I can't help but give a ghostly smirk of my own."right!...switching to Delta formation!"I said-and soon enough the interlocks unbuckled quickly and the six warriors quickly shift and trade places.
"...ok Big sis...just remember the plan and just maybe we'll all get to go home in one piece!"I joke dryly
Hira laughed."right!...form ion maces !!"voltron two energy charged mace like constructs
Act 11
Third person's pov
Back on the drule ship
Prince Lotor rose from his command chair once again ...a clearly furious-but this still the Arusian scientist maintains his neutral and unfazed manner,"prince Lotor please...as I recall I had tried to warn you of this voltron's capabilities but you said it was of little relevance!"Raible pointed out sharply,and the prince of doom quickly sat backdown in his command chair with his heated outburst almost immediately snuffing out just as quickly as ignited.
