i don't own Voltron legendary defender.
The Castle of Lions is approaching the Balmera
The team stands in the Bridge.
We'll be arriving at the Balmera soon. Liberating these Balmerans
from Zarkon's grasp will not be easy said Allura.
So, what's the plan? We go in there and just—Pow, pow, pow said Lance.
Lance imitates laser fire
And free the prisoners? Asks Lance.
What was that noise? Asks Keith.
Laser guns said, Lance.
No, Lance, I think you mean said Hunk.
Hunk imitates a huge laser cannon
Pow said Hunk.
That sounds like fireworks said, Lance.
Technically, they're more like—ba-choo, ba-choo, ba-choo said Pidge.
Pidge imitates firing a small laser gun.
Okay, enough with the bad sound effects. ... Besides, it's more like— blam, blam, blam said, Shiro.
Shiro dramatically imitates firing a laser gun.
What? Said Keith.
You're crazy said Pidge.
No way said, Lance.
Nuh—Wrong said Hunk.
Paladins, focus said Allura.
Besides, we can't just shoot at the Galra. This Balmera, it's, like, alive. And from what we've seen, it doesn't look very good said Hunk.
Yes, it's an atrocity what the Galra have been doing to this grand beast. Stealing its Crystals, it's very life force, without ever performing the energy rejuvenation ceremonies to heal it said, Coran
After seeing Shay's people enslaved, it made me realize how bad Zarkon really is. And we're the only ones who can stop him said Hunk.
Okay, so we can't go into the tunnels guns blazing. Plan B. We figure out how to draw the Galra up to the surface and battle them out there said, Shiro
Wait, I know! If we attack all of this big mining stuff on the surface, the Galra troops will have to come out to defend it. Then we beat them up, head down to the tunnels, Voltron saves the day said Hunk.
But how will we know how many are left down in the tunnels? Shiro asks.
We can track the Galra and the Balmerans using Biothermal Life Indicator Point Technology said Allura.
Oh, BLIP tech said Pidge.
It's an acronym? Said Pidge.
One of you will need to fly around the Balmera and drop sensors into the shafts on each side said Allura.
Then we'll be able to see where the Galra and the Balmerans are. There are already sensors built into your suits said Allura.
I can do it. I just modified the Green Lion with the invisible maze's cloaking ability. I should be able to fly around unnoticed said Pidge.
Coran brings up an image of the Balmera's surface on screen
That's their main power generator. If you take that down, it will severely weaken their defenses said, Coran.
We'll stay in cloud cover and give tactical support. With the Castle's defenses weakened from Sendak's Crystal, we won't be of much help to you said Allura.
i'll take out the power generator. Keith, Lance, Hunk, you take out these big mining rigs around the area said, Shiro.
Yeah! Okay, let's do this! Let's go kick some alien butt said Hunk.
The Paladins prepare to launch
You think the Balmerans will have a parade for us after we've freed everybody? Lance asks.
it's not about the glory, Lance. It's about freeing prisoners from Zarkon said, Keith.
No, I know. I know. But still. When they said, Lance.
The Blue Lion launches from the Castleship, jolting Lance. The Lions fly towards the Balmera's surface; the Galra structures start firing lasers.
This is it. Get your heads in the game. Remember, the Balmera is a living creature. Make sure you pinpoint only the Galra installations and not its surface said, Shiro.
Initiating cloak said Pidge.
The Green Lion separates from the group and turns invisible to drop BLIP drones.
Lance and Hunk destroy Galra weapon.
How do I take this down? Shiro asks.
The Black Lion displays its Jaw Blade on the screen of the cockpit.
Shiro uses the Black Lion's jaw blade to destroy the power generator.
Pidge finishes dropping BLIP drones.
All sensors delivered said Pidge.
A holographic map of the Balmera and all living lifeforms on it appears in the Castle of Lions.
The power generator still has an active and massive laser cannon attacking the Red Lion. After dodging, the Red Lion fires its heat ray to melt through the cannon's tower.
Whoa! Did you guys just see that? I got firepower said, Keith.
Hey! I want that said, Lance.
The cannon tower begins to fall towards the Balmera's surface.
Oh, no said Keith.
Hey, we can't let this thing hurt the Balmera said Hunk.
Hunk struggles to hold the tower upright with the Yellow Lion.
I think my Lion knows what to do said, Lance.
Lance uses the Blue Lion's freeze ray to freeze the tower in place.
Ha-Aw, snap! These rays are super cool, just like me said, Lance.
Great job, team said Shiro.
The Paladins wait for troops from the Galra Empire to appear. Nothing happens.
Where are all the troops? Asks Keith.
They're not coming to the surface said Keith.
Hunk sends Keith a video transmission.
Yeah, I remember seeing a lot of Galra guys down in the mines said Hunk.
Allura is looking at a map of the Balmera and radios to the Paladins.
We've located a hangar full of Galra fighters just below the surface. Someone has to take those out before they can launch said Allura.
They're luring us down, but we have no choice. Keith, Lance, you guys hit the hangar. Hunk head to the prison to rescue Shay and the other Balmerans. Pidge and I will track down the Galra soldiers said, Shiro.
Yes, Ma'am said Keith.
Ten-four said, Lance.
On it said Pidge.
Let's do this said Hunk.
The Lions fly off.
The Paladins drop their Lions at the bottom of mine shafts and navigate the tunnels with their speeders.
Keith and Lance scope out the Galra hangar.
The entire hangar's only being guarded by a few Sentries said Keith,
Keith readies his Bayard and prepares to attack.
Let's go said, Keith.
Whoa, w-w-whoa, whoa said Lance.
Cool your jets, Keith said Lance.
Don't you remember all that stuff about this Balmera thing being a sensitive animal? Asks Lance.
Oh. Right said, Keith.
Yeah, so we can't just blow things up like a psycho said, Lance.
Oh, You got a better idea? Keith asks/
I do. We sneak into the control room to shut down the bay doors.
That'll trap the ships in said, Lance.
That—! ... Actually... is a better idea said, Keith.
Scene change to Hunk.
Allura, Coran, what's my location? All these tunnels look the same. I can't remember where the prison is said Hunk.
You're on the right path. Turn right at the next tunnel. Once you get there, you'll have to disable the energy doors. Be careful. It looks like it's heavily guarded said, Coran.
Scene changes to Keith and Lance.
No, no. It's over here said Lance.
I know what I'm doing said, Keith.
Keith uses his Bayard katar to slice a hole in the ceiling above the Sentry.
Lance kicks the hole open, crushing the Sentry underneath its weight.
Both Paladins enter the control room.
Keep an eye out for those guards. I'll see if I can find a way to shut the hangar doors said Lance.
Uh... Hmm. Nope. Maybe. Uh... Uh... Mm said, Lance.
Ah, I don't know what I'm doing here. It's all Galra gibberish said, Lance.
Let me see said, Keith.
Whoa! How'd you do that? Lance asks.
I just put my hand on the handprint said, Keith.
Scene change to Hunk.
Hunk approaches the prison in his speeder. Galra Sentries are
fleeing, but some fire at him. Hunk exits his speeder and blasts the Sentries with his Bayard cannon.
Hunk uses a broken Sentry hand to unlock the prison doors and enter. He finds Shay's family, but not Shay.
Hunk, you have returned said Shay's father
I promised I'd be back. We're here to help. Where's Shay? Said Hunk.
Our life may not have been perfect, but our family was whole. Your arrival has left us imprisoned and torn apart. As soon as your attack started, they took her away to the core of the Balmera. For all we know, she could be gone for good said Rax.
Scene change to the castleship.
Paladins, are you there? Allura asks.
The Galra troops are moving down the tunnels. It looks like they're going down toward the center said Allura.
Scene changes to Hunk.
They must be headed to the core of the Balmera. That's where they're holding Shay said Hunk.
Hunk rushes off to the Balmera's core.
Scene change to Shiro.
They're drawing us into an ambush, but we don't have a choice if we want to save Shay. We have to follow said, Shiro.
Lance, Keith, get to the core. I think we're going to need everyone together to get through this firefight said, Shiro.
Lance and Keith are still in the control room.
The bay doors finish shutting.
Copy that said, Lance.
We're on our way said, Lance.
Keith damages the computer console.
Lance damages the lock to the door so no one can access it.
Scene change to Pidge.
Looks like you're in an area where the tunnels are too narrow for your speeder said Allura.
Yeah. Proceeding on foot said Pidge.
Pidge enters the narrow tunnel and sees shadows approaching.
There's someone here said Pidge.
Looking into it said Allura.
The shadows come closer
Pidge summons her Bayard and rushes to attack.
Pidge, no! Those are Balmerans said Allura.
Pidge stops when she sees Balmeran children.
Phew said Pidge.
Pidge greets the children
But the Balmera groans and trembles, so the Balmeran children run in fear.
One child trips and is nearly crushed by falling rock. Pidge saves them.
Don't worry said Pidge.
Hey, team, be careful. The Balmera is very unstable said Pidge.
Scene change to Keith and Lance.
Lance and Keith immediately run into a squadron of Galra Sentries that bombard them with laser fire.
Their shooting is destroying the Balmera. We gotta do something said, Keith.
The Balmera is crying in pain.
Well, we can't shoot back! It'll just make it worse said, Lance.
Huh? Said Keith.
Na-na Na-na boo-boo said, Lance.
Scene change to Hunk.
Hunk runs to the core of the Balmera and finds no one there but Shay muzzled and hanging from the ceiling.
Shay! You're alive said Hunk
Hunk shoots Shay free and catches her as she falls.
Shiro and Pidge arrive.
Where are the Galra? If this is an ambush, they should be here waiting for us said, Shiro.
Keith and Lance arrive; the doors to the core suddenly all shut.
Not an ambush. More like a trap said Hunk.
The Galra, they gained knowledge that you would return to the Balmera said, Shay.
How? Asks Pidge.
I know not. But they set this trap just for you. I was the bait said, Shay.
Who could have possibly known that we were heading here to save
Shay? Shiro asks.
Rolo! Those liars must have told Zarkon said Hunk.
We have to figure out how to get out of here said, Shiro
Wait! We have a giant Castleship hovering in the sky. Allura, can you please come get us? Said Lance.
How do you expect her to do that, genius? Keith asks.
I don't know, maybe they got teleporters or something said, Lance.
Scene change to the castleship
Allura and Coran are under attack.
We're quite occupied at the moment. We're completely surrounded by Galra ships and we're taking heavy fire said Allura.
Princess, our particle barrier won't last much longer said, Coran.
Paladins, you need to get out of there as soon as you can say Allura.
In the core of the Balmera.
This is it! We're going to die here. I can say bye-bye to that parade said, Lance.
Get it together, guys. Allura, we'll get there as soon as we can, Shiro.
Perhaps my people can help us get out said, Shay
Shay places her hand on the Balmera's core.
This is how we communicate. The Balmera senses our vibrations and sends a message to those in the tunnels said, Shay.
Are you sure someone will be able to hear your... hand from all the way down here? Keith.
The Balmera will deliver the message said, Shay.
Shay focuses and the area around her hand glows. The Balmera groans as it sends the message to Rax and their family. Rax places his hand on the ground and it glows.
It's a message from Shay said Rax.
She's alive said Shay's father.
The Paladins of Voltron went to the core of the Balmera to save Shay... and now they are all trapped said Rax.
Then we are all doomed said Shay's father.
This is all my fault. I conspired against them, and because of my actions, Shay was imprisoned. The big yellow one was right. If we ever hope to be free, we must take action said Rax/
But how can we rise up against our Galra overlords? asks Shay's father.
What choice do we have? They have stolen all of the Crystals from our Balmera. Our lives are worthless to them now said Rac
But Balmerans have never fought said Shay's father.
You taught me that without family, we have nothing. The Galra have taken Shay. How can we do nothing while the Paladins sacrifice everything to save us? We must do our part! Said Rax.
Scene change to the castleship
They're heading down into the tunnels! They're going to steal the Lions said, Coran.
Paladins, the Lions are in danger! You must get back to them immediately said Allura.
Princess, something's locked onto us said, Coran.
A Galra warship suddenly appears.
Scene change to core.
Paladins, do you copy? There's a battlecruiser locked onto us. If it fires with its ion cannon, I don't know if we can survive said Allura.
We're trying, Allura. Shay's pressing her hand against the wall, which apparently sends vibrations to the other rock people, who vibrate back or something? Hand talking? I guess the answer to your question is, 'Yes, we copy said, Lance.
Shay, are you sure the Balmera is sending your message? Shiro asks.
Shay focuses harder. Her family stands outside a doorway to the core and uses their hands to instruct the Balmera into crushing the doorway open. Rax and his family enter the core of the Balmera.
Rax said, Shay.
We must make haste. We know a shortcut through the tunnels said Rax.
Allura, stand by. We're on our way up said, Shiro.
Scene change to the black lion
Two fighter jets are using tracer beams to raise the Black Lion.
Paladins, hurry! They're taking off with the Lions said Allura.
Shiro launches her speeder towards the Black Lion, slipping through a hole in its force field to take control and free the Lion from the Galra.
Guys, did everyone make it to the Lions in time? Shiro asks
Come on, Shiro. Who you think you're dealing with, a bunch of amateurs said Lance.
Do you really want me to answer that? Shiro asks.
No said, Lance.
Let's go said, Shiro.
The Paladins fly their Lions at the large fleet of Galra fighter jets and engage in battle.
Hunk, watch out said Pidge.
Pidge shields the Yellow Lion from laser fire with the Green Lion's back shield.
Got you covered said, Shiro.
Shiro uses the Black Lion's jaw blade to destroy the fighter jets.
Phew! Thanks, guys said Hunk
the Galra warship prepares to fire.
It's charging its ion cannon said, Coran.
Divert all shields to the bow said Allura.
The Castle of Lions focuses its particle barrier to take the brunt of the assault and struggles to survive the blast from the ion cannon.
Paladins, I need you immediately! Five more ticks and we're finished said Allura.
Okay, team, let's form Voltron said, Shiro.
The Paladins form Voltron and slam into the Galra warship, diverting its cannon from the Castle of Lions.
Right now is our chance, Princess said Coran.
Full power on the blasters! Locked onto target. Fire said Allura.
The Castle of Lions blasts the Galra warship through, causing it to explode and destroy all surrounding fighter jets.
Scene changes to Zarkon's ship.
Prorok still kneels before Zarkon in the throne room of the Emperor's Command Ship. A Galra soldier speaks over the intercom.
The Galra fleet and all Sentries on the Balmera have been defeated said A Galra
No! How could this be? Lord Zarkon, I will do all that I can to recapture Voltron for the Galra said, Prorok.
Silence, Prorok. I have plans that you cannot comprehend said Zarkon.
Meanwhile, Voltron lands on the Balmera. The Castle of Lions descends towards the surface.
Mission accomplished said, Keith.
And just in the tick of time. The Castle's defenses are battered and will need to fully recharge said Allura.
The Castle alarms start blaring.
There's an unknown object incoming! It's about to crash into the Balmera said, Coran.
A transport ship carrying the something crashes into the Balmera.
What the heck is that? Lance asks.
Trouble said, Shiro.
