i don't own Voltron legendary defender
In the castle of lions infirmary.
I can't tell if he looks healthy or not said Hunk.
I think he's breathing weird said Pidge.
Oh, come on said, Keith.
Not yet said Allura.
Just a few more ticks said Allura.
How much better do you think he's gonna get in a few more ticks? Lance asks.
And what exactly is a tick? Pidge asks.
You know, a time slice said Allura.
What? Like a second? Shiro asks.
What is a second? Allura asks.
Like this said Pidge.
I'm not sure, I think ticks are bigger said Allura.
Coran, do you have a ticker? Allura.
Right here Princess said, Coran.
I think ticks are a little slower said Hunk.
I can't tell said Pidge.
We have to start 'em at the same time said Pidge.
Okay said, Coran.
Ready go said, Coran.
Yes, I think we're winning said Hunk.
Winning what? The intergalactic time measuring competition? Keith asks.
Yes said Hunk.
You guys havin a clock party? Lance asks.
Oh, Lance you just ruined it said Hunk.
Uh hey, Lance said Hunk.
What happened? Lance asks.
We can tell you all about it while you get something to eat said
Allura.
Are you able to walk? Allura asks.
Talking? eating? are you asking me out on a date? Lance asks.
Yep, there he is said Pidge.
Yep, he's okay said, Shiro.
Classic said, Keith.
Scene changes to the dining hall.
He'd be Sendak's prisoner right now if not for Pidge said Allura.
Well, you wouldn't have survived the explosion if Hunk and Coran hadn't gotten a new Crystal said Pidge.
Wow. Thanks, everybody. Sounds like the mice did more than you, though said Lance.
I punched Sendak said, Keith.
Yeah, apparently after I emerged from a coma and shot his arm off said, Lance.
We had a bonding moment. I cradled you in my arms said, Keith.
Nope. Don't remember, didn't happen said, Lance.
So what happened to Sendak? Lance asks.
He's frozen in a cryo-pod. We're keeping him here in the castle.
Are you sure that's a good idea? Lance asks.
He's too dangerous to be set free said Allura.
Besides, we might be able to get some information about Zarkon from him said Allura.
So, what's the plan now? Lance asks.
We have to get back to the Balmera and save Shay and her people said Hunk.
Wow! You are really hung up on this lady said, Lance.
No, it's not like that. Look, guys, when you see how Zarkon has treated these people and destroyed their home—They've been under his thumb for so long, they don't even know what it is to be free. It's up to us to set this right. This is what being a Paladin of Voltron is all about. It's time to man up said Hunk.
Then let's get moving said, Shiro.
Time to go defend the universe said, Shiro.
Wait, I have something to say first. I need to come clean and... I'm afraid this may change the way you all think about me. Just so there are no secrets between us anymore, I can't "man up". ... I'm a girl said Pidge.
"I-I mean, I can "man up" because that's just a figure of speech. I don't have to actually be a man to "man up." I just have to be tough. But what I'm saying said Pidge.
You're a girl?! How? Lance asks.
I've known for some time, but I'm glad you've shared it with everyone said Allura.
Yeah, I figured said Hunk.
Oh, yeah, me too said Keith.
Wait, w-we were supposed to think you were a boy? Coran asks.
Pidge, owning who you are is going to make you a better Paladin said, Shiro.
It's good to get that off my chest. Now, let's launch this Castleship said Pidge.
Wait, what? Pidge is a girl and the Castle is a ship? How long have I been out? Lance asks.
Scene changes to the bridge.
Activate interlock said Allura.
Dynotherms connected said, Coran.
Mega-thrusters are go said Allura.
We are ready to depart Planet Arus on your mark, Princess said Coran.
Firing main engines for launch said Allura.
Okay. So, when we get there, what do you think? Do we just roll up and like, start blasting? Or do we land and have some... kind of public address system, like, 'Attention, Galras. This is Voltron. Turn yourselves in! Said Hunk.
No. Blasting, right? Said Hunk.
Hunk, calm down. And yes, blasting said Keith.
Eh, it's our first big rescue mission. He's excited said, Shiro.
Excited to see his new girl-friend said Pidge.
She's not my girlfriend said Hunk.
She's just a rock that I met and I admire very much said Hunk.
What is it? Shiro asks.
Are we being attacked? Shiro asks.
No, it seems to be a distress beacon said, Coran.
It's coming from a nearby moon. Apparently, a ship has lost power said Allura.
I wonder who it is said Pidge.
Whoever it is will have to wait said Hunk.
Shay has first priority said Hunk.
We can check back on them when we're done said Hunk.
The Paladin Code states that we must help all those in need said Allura.
Wow! This is so cool said Lance.
It's like we're space cops on space patrol said Lance.
Coran, do we have a siren we can turn on? Lance asks.
Uh, no, but we could record you making a siren noise and broadcast that to them said Coran.
Perfect said Lance.
Then he starts to make the noise.
No, not doing that said Shiro.
Attention, damaged craft, this is Princess Allura. We are coming to assist you said Allura.
Whoa. Nice ship a male alien.
On the bridge.
Stay aboard and try to get as many of our systems clear of that Galra crystal energy as you can. We'll see who hailed us said Allura.
Yes, Princess said Coran.
Scene changes to outside.
You don't know how glad we are to see some friendly faces. Most folks don't want to get tangled up with anyone who's on the run from the Galra said the male.
So, you guys are fighting the Galra? Keith asks.
Well, I don't think Zarkon is exactly quaking in his boots at the three of us, but we do what we can. I'm Rolo. This is Nyma, and our cyber-unit, Beezer said Rolo.
Hi said Nyma.
Cool robot said Pidge.
Hi! Name's Lance said, Lance.
Was your ship damaged in a fight? Shiro asks.
Yeah, we've really been through it with the Galra. Parts are hard to come by. Luckily, we were able to limp to this moon about a week ago. If you didn't pick up our distress signal, I didn said Rolo.
We're happy to help. I am Princess Allura of Altea, and from now on, you won't be alone fighting the Galra. You'll have the Paladins of Voltron by your side said Allura.
Okay said Rolo.
I don't think they've heard of us said, Shiro.
It has been ten thousand years said, Keith.
Voltron? Five robot Lions that combine into this big robot... guy? Said Lance.
Sounds impressive. I'd love to see it. Or—Or him. Them said Rolo.
Why don't we just get to work on your ship? I'm sure we all have places to be said Hunk.
Sure said Rolo.
Pretty much our whole flaxum assembly is shot. I don't know what kind of extra parts you carry in this rig of yours. I've never seen anything quite like it said Rolo.
I'm sure we can get you back up and running. Give Hunk a list of what you need. Coran can show you where to find it said Allura.
Okay said Hunk.
We'll go with you. Don't want you to have to carry all that yourself. Come on, guys said Rolo.
Uh, I don't think so said Hunk.
Yeah, You can just wait out here said Hunk.
Hunk, don't be rude said Allura.
Yeah, mind your manners. There are ladies present said, Lance.
Hey said, Lance.
Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, but does anyone remember the last time we let our defenses down? Said Hunk.
Someone kind of set off a bomb. Remember, Lance? You were almost killed said Hunk.
Oh yeah said, Lance.
Hunk's right. Sorry, but we have to be cautious said, Shiro.
Hey, I don't take it personal said Rolo.
That's how it is out here said Rolo.
You've got to look out for your own said Rolo.
You're doing a good job, big man said Rolo.
Yeah. Thanks said Hunk.
My planet was destroyed by the Galra and I was taken captive. I
managed to escape, but not before I lost something said Rolo.
Rolo displays his prosthetic left leg.
I know exactly how that feels said, Shiro.
Well, I hope there are some parts in here that'll fit said Hunk.
You know, to get your ship moving? Said Hunk.
Great! Thanks said Rolo.
So, what can you tell us about Zarkon's forces? Where are they concentrated? Allura asks.
Well, his Command Ship sits right in the center of the Empire. He mostly calls the shots from there and has his minions do the work, depending on who's closest. This is the territory of a real nasty bugger named Sendak said Rolo.
Oh, we've met said, Keith.
How far are we from the center? Shiro asks.
We're way out on the fringes said Rolo.
Hey, sorry to interrupt, but I think you guys are kind of keeping Rolo from working. It's just that we're in a hurry. A hero named Shay saved my life, and I swore I would return to do the same for her and her people said Hunk.
You understand said Hunk
Sure. Sorry said Rolo.
Hunk, we're going to get going soon, but I think Rolo might have some information that could be helpful to us said, Shiro.
Not for nothin' but I don't trust this guy as far as I can throw him. I think we ought to leave him with the box parts and just say, 'Adiós, amigo said Hunk.
Hey, bud! Sorry, but do you think you could hunt down a length of thermal pipe about yay long? Asks Rolo.
On the way said Hunk.
So, are there more freedom fighters? Any kind of organized resistance to the Galra? Shiro asks.
Only folks who haven't been colonized yet, or the lucky few, like us, who managed to escape somehow said Rolo.
Well, we're going to change all that said, Keith.
That's good to hear, but I've got to warn you, it's pretty bad out there. You don't know what you're up against said Rolo.
Scene changes to Lance and Nyma.
I mean, there are only five of us in the entire universe, so... I guess you could say it's kind of a big deal said l
I don't understand. The Lions are ships? Are they, like, flying statues that you ride on? Said Nyma.
No, no, no. They're magic, but also super scientific and advanced. And they fly crazy fast and have all these incredible weapons. Really, the entire Castle is just insane! I wish you could see it said, Lance.
Yes, it's too bad we're not allowed inside. I would love a tour from one of the knights. But I guess the big one is in charge, huh? You have to obey his orders? Said Nyma.
Who, Hunk? Pfft, I don't have to listen to them! Said Lance.
On the bridge of the castle.
This place is incredible said Nyma.
Yeah, I guess. You get used to it said, Lance.
But it's so gigantic. It must take you forever to get to your Lion said Nyma.
Ooh, you'd be surprised said, Lance.
Pretty slick, right? Said Lance.
Unbelievable! Take me on a ride around the moon? Said Nyma.
Uh—We should probably get back to the others said, Lance.
Yeah, you're right. Maybe Keith will give me a ride said Nyma.
No! Whoah, whoah, hold on a second! I mean what's the point of having the Lion if you can't enjoy it, right? Giddy-up, buddy said Lance.
Oh, Lance said Hunk.
Ah, let them have their fun. Thanks to you, this thing is just about ready, so we're going to be on our way soon. Too many light years on that guy, I guess said Rolo.
Yeah said Hunk.
Lance is flying the Blue Lion around the moon.
Look, a kinetic spring! Let's land over there. The minerals reflect off the water, making a rainbow said Nyma.
The Blue Lion flies over the spring, causing water to spray and a rainbow to appear.
Wow. Is there anything you don't know? Asks Lance.
Scene changes to the rest of the team.
I think this thing is just about ready for a test flight. Beezer, come co-pilot for me. Be back in a tick said Rolo.
Uh said Hunk.
Scene changes back to Lance and Nyma.
So, ah, you want to see how fast I can climb this tree? Said Lance.
The rest of the team is waiting outside the Castle of Lions.
How many ticks have they been gone? Asks Pidge.
I don't know. I hope they didn't break down again said Allura.
Something ain't right said Hunk
Guys? Hello? Little help? Asks Lance.
Lance? Lance! Are you all right? W-What's going on? Shiro asks.
Well, I'm kind of chained to a... a tree said, Lance.
I knew it said Hunk
And I think Nyma and Rolo just stole the Blue Lion said, Lance.
I knew it said Hunk.
Where are they? Shiro asks.
Uh, space said Lance.
Uh, I never trusted those guys, right from the beginning said Hunk.
I mean, y' know at first, it was just like a feeling in my gut, you know? But when I was replacing that thermal pipe, the pipe was cracked, but none of the hardware around it was damaged said Hunk
Okay, we get it said, Keith.
I mean, if the thermal pipe is cracked, then, obviously, hello, the entire assembly should be totally roasted said Hunk.
Okay! We get it said, Keith.
We should've had to replace the entire undercarriage of that reactor. So, right then, I was, like, positive. Foul play said Hunk.
Okay, we get it said the other Paladins.
Scene changes to Rolo's ship.
Commander Prorok, my name is Rolo. I understand you're offering a reward to anyone helping capture the Voltron Lions said Rolo.
That's correct. Do you know where they are? Asks Prorok.
I know where the blue one is. It's in my ship said Rolo.
Excellent. Bring it to me and you'll have your reward immediately said, Prorok.
Just a tick. You see, my friends and I have a bit of a checkered past. Some stolen merchandise from the Galra Empire may have fallen into our possession without us knowing about it said Rolo.
Well, I'm sure that a full pardon can be arranged for the brave souls who bring Emperor Zarkon a Voltron Lion. Is that all? Said Prorok.
We'll take the reward, too said Nyma.
Of course, said Prorok.
All right. We're on our way said Rolo.
I almost feel sorry for those Voltron folks. Seemed like a nice bunch said Nyma.
If you're feeling guilty, you can turn yourself in. Stealing from
Zarkon carries a life sentence said Rolo.
They don't seem... that nice said Rolo.
No way said Rolo.
Are you sure you know what you're doing? There's no way we can outrun those Lions said Nyma.
Not in the open. Good thing the Zorlar asteroid belt is right up here. I know that like the back of my hand said Rolo.
We'll never get through this asteroid field said Pidge.
Maybe I can just bust through said Hunk.
Nope. That was wrong. That was a bad idea said Hunk.
Keith, you're the only one who could possibly fly through this. We need you, buddy. Get in there and flush him out said, Shiro.
You got it. See you on the other side said, Keith.
No way. Get on the blasters. Take him down said Rolo.
Copy said Nyma.
Nyma and Beezer fire the ship's laser blasters at the Red Lion.
Keith dodges the attacks and fires his Lion's mouth cannon in retaliation
This kid can flat-out fly said Rolo.
He's gaining on you said Nyma.
He's gaining on you said Nyma.
Blasters are offline said Nyma.
We've got to get out of here said Rolo.
Yeah! Haha! Hey, Lance, I got your Lion back said, Keith.
Thank you, Keith. Now, can you come and unchain me? Said Lance.
What's that? I, uh... Y-You're cutting out. I can't—I can't hear you said Keith.
Oh, come on! I thought we bonded. Keith? Buddy? My man? Said Lance.
Since your ship really doesn't work now, you'll have to wait here for a rescue said, Keith.
Thanks... for sparing our lives said Rolo.
Now that these guys are dealt with, let's get to the Balmera and save Shay and her family said Hunk
You may not believe this, but I hope you do stop Zarkon said Rolo.
It's a lifetime of fighting the Galra that led me to where I am today said Rolo.
