I don't own Voltron legendary defender.


Scene the detainment room.

Okay, guys, Sendak's almost all hooked up. But, look, I have to warn you, this technology was used to keep Altean memories alive, not to interrogate prisoners said, Coran.

Coran, we understand this isn't what the technology was meant for, but if we can extract Sendak's memories, we may gain valuable intelligence on Zarkon's troop locations said, Shiro

Yeah, and then we can just be like, 'Knock-knock.' 'Who's there?' 'The avenging fury of Voltron, son said Lance.

Fascinating. So, how exactly does this work? Said Pidge.

As the memories are extracted, they're written bit by bit on individual molecules of the micro-storage strands said, Coran

When I go, I want all the stuff in my brain stored in a giant ship said, Lance.

The amount of information in your brain could be stored in a paper airplane said, Keith.

Oh, yeah? Well, the amount of information you have, Keith, could be… said Lance.

Yeah? Said Keth.

Uh... it's less than what I have said, Lance.

Oh, good one, Lance said Hunk.

So this is how you incorporated King Alfor's memories into the Castle of Lions? Asks Pidge.

Precisely, but it's never been attempted before on an unwilling
a participant said, Coran.

The memory storage device activates but nothing appears.

Uh, is this what's supposed to be happening? Hunk asks.

Let's give it some time said, Shiro.

The Paladins and Coran wait for a very, very long time with no results.

Well, I can't wait around anymore. I'm gonna to hit the training deck said Keith,

He leaves. More time passes with no results.

Okay, if anyone needs me, I'll be in the lab. Maybe I can pull some information from Sendak's Galra Crystal said Pidge.

She leaves. More time passes with no results.

Time to feed the beast. I'm going to go make some breakfast said Hunk.

Hunk leaves.

Well, I'm afraid I can't wait here any longer, either. I have a million duties to attend to. Between that Galra Crystal infecting our system, and then fighting off those ships and performing the Balmeran rejuvenation ceremony, the old Castle of Lions has taken quite a beating. Every system needs to be recharged and repaired said, Coran.

I'll stay. Somewhere in Sendak's mind is the information about Zarkon that we need said, Shiro.

Okay, well, while you guys do that, I think I'm gonna get my chill on.

Maybe kick back with a lemonade or space juice. Something said, Lance.

He tries to leave.

Oh, hold on there, space juice. You're going to come and help me said Coran.

What? Why? Why me? Lance asks.

Because you're the last one here and because your activity isn't very important said Coran.

Wait, did I say 'chill with a good lemonade'? I meant I gotta do homework said Lance/

No. Too late said, Coran.

Fine... Let us know if anything happens said, Lance.

Shiro? Said Lance.

Y-You got it said, Shiro.


Scene changes to the kitchen.

Maybe today, we try a little crème goo-lée said Hunk.

The food goo dispenser will not work. Hunk looks inside the tube and clicks the lever.

Goo explodes on his face.

Agh, my eye said Hunk.

The goo dispenser rapidly shoots goo everywhere.

Pidge walks by and sees the chaos.

What is going on in here? Pidge asks.

Hunk is hiding behind a counter.

The goo has me pinned down said Hunk.

Hunk and Pidge hide behind the counter together.

Pidge pulls out plates and hands one to Hunk.

Okay, we're going to have to flank the goo to shut it down said Pidge.

Okay, wait. Wait! It's been a pleasure cooking with you said Hunk.

Hunk salutes Pidge.

Go said Hunk.

Hunk and Pidge rush the goo dispenser from either side using plates as shields.

Pidge pins the goo dispenser tube down while HUNK ties the tube in a knot, stopping it and making it overflow.

Pidge pins the goo dispenser tube down while HUNK ties the tube in a knot, stopping it and making it overflow.

Probably a malfunction? Said Pidge.

Yeah, yeah... Guess the kitchen system needs to be rebooted, too said Hunk

Leave it for Coran? Pidge asks.

Hunk nods.

Both leave the kitchen a mess.


Meanwhile, Lance is cleaning pods in the sleep chamber with Coran.

Ugh... Since when did 'you sleep in it, you clean it' become a Voltron rule? Also, how is it these pods have the ability to heal a human from near death, but don't have the ability to clean themselves? Said, Lance

Oh, self-cleaning pods. Now, that's a good one! You know, this kind of reminds me of my time as a young cadet. I had just enlisted in the Altean space squad, aeronautics sub-tech nano-weaponry unit, and I was sent off to boot camp. Our sergeant had us cleaning cryo-pods day and night. I got so good at it, I earned my first set of stripes said, Coran.

Coran continues talking as Lance gets trapped in a pod

Oh—Coran! Hey! Hey! H-Hey said, Lance.

Oh, those were the days. Anyway, you keep up the good work and maybe someday you'll earn some cleaning stripes, too said, Coran

Lance? Lance! Ah, Paladins said Coran.


Keith is in the training deck fighting the Gladiator Robot. He destroys it.

Start training level three said, Keith.

A new Gladiator robot dispenses from the ceiling and Keith battles it. The fight is too tense.

End training sequence said, Keith.

The system does not respond The Gladiator robot turns rogue and rushes Keith.

End training sequence! End training sequence now said, Keith.

Keith is knocked aside by the Gladiator robot and loses his Bayard. He dodges the robot's attacks to recover his Bayard and flee into the hallway for safety. The Gladiator robot forces its way into the hall to follow Keith.


Shiro remains unaware of the chaos as he stands before Sendak's pod in the detainment room.

I know you're in there, Sendak. I know you have all the answers. Give them to me said, Shiro

Nothing happens.

Shiro slams her fist on Sendak's pod.

You're a broken soldier! You can't hold out forever said, Shiro.

So, you can hear me said, Shiro.

Coran is cleaning pods in the sleep chamber. He yells when he sees Lance trapped in the next pod he intends to clean.

Coran releases Lance from the pod.

Lance is stiff with cold.

Ah, ah... This pod just shut on me and locked me in, while you were rambling on about boot camp said, Lance.

You sure you didn't just trip and fall in? No judgment. It happens. Besides, why would the pod automatically lock and start the cryogenic freezing process? Said Coran.

To kill me said, Lance.

Don't get your boots in a bunch. My guess is they're malfunctioning said, Coran.

Okay, I'm gonna float this out there. I think this Castle is haunted said, Lance.

The ship might seem like a fantastical, magical creature to you, but it's really just a big embodiment of advanced supernatural technology that cannot be explained by science alone said, Coran.

Well, that does make it seem a bit haunted, doesn't it? Ah, but it's not. Trust me, nothing out of the ordinary is happening here said, Coran.

I'm okay. I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay said, Lance


Lance has left the sleep chamber and is walking through the Castleship's halls. The lights in front of him begin turning off, terrifying him.

Okay, okay... Oh... Ah said, Lance.

Coran, is that you? Okay, stop messing with me, guys. This isn't funny said Lance.

Help! Help said, Coran.

Hello? Coran? Lance asks.

Help! Somebody said, Coran.

I'm trapped in the airlock said, Coran.

I'm coming said, Lance.

Lance. enters the airlock and sees no one. The door closes behind him.

Huh? Okay, ha-ha. Good joke. You guys got me. Nice said, Lance.

Computer: Airlock opening in 30 ticks.

Okay, the joke's over! You got me said, Lance

Computer:29, 28, 27..."

Lance bangs on the airlock door.

Guys? Guys! Eugh! Help! Said Lance.

No one is around to hear Lance.


Shiro is in the detainment room interrogating Sendak, who is still asleep in his pod.

What was the first rank you held in Zarkon's army? Where did you find the Red Lion? What is Zarkon's greatest weakness? Asks Shiro.

Shiro hears Sendak's voice, becoming startled.

What makes you think you can possibly defeat him? Asks Sendak.

You are nothing but Zarkon's whore said, Sendak.

Sendak's mouth is not moving and he remains asleep.

If you were to attack Zarkon, where would you strike? Asks Shiro.

Why strike at all when you can join him? Asks Sendak.


Scene changes to green lion's hanger.

I bet if we can modulate the dynamics of this crystal, we'll be able to reverse engineer a lot of Galra tech. Don't you think, Hunk?

Hunk, are you paying attention? Said Pidge.

What? No, I'm sorry. That whole food goo ambush really set me on edge, Pidge. If we can't trust food, we are lost as a culture said Hunk.

Relax. I'm sure the Castle's just glitchy said Pidge.

It's 10,000 years old said Pidge.

Yeah, it does seem like the ship is not currently trying to kill us said Hunk.

Okay, so, all the sensors are on the crystal. Hit the switch said Pidge.

Hunk, did you accidentally hit the anti-gravity switch? Asks Pidge.

Uh, no. There's no anti-gravity switch. Uh, is there? Said Hunk/

Curse my short arms said Pidge.

Oh, I hate those little things! All right, forget it, Pidge. I'm going to swim toward you. Just hang on said Hunk.

That's it. I'm all out of moves Oh, I'm hungry again. I hope some food goo comes oozing out of these walls said Hunk.


Scene change to the Airlock.

COMPUTER: twelve, eleven, ten... nine, eight, seven.

Keith said, Lance.

COMPUTER: six, five

What are you doing in there? Keith asks.

I need help! Because if you don't get me out of here right now, I'm going to be sucked out into space said, Lance.

COMPUTER: Doors opening.

I'm getting sucked out into space said, Lance.

Keith! Keith, come on! Said Lance.

What were you doing out there? Keith asks.

Who was that guy? Lance asks.

He was trying to kill me said, Keith.

Well, is he the Castle? Because that's who's trying to kill me said, Lance.


Scene change to green lions hanger.

Wait. Wait, wait. I have an idea. Grab on said Pidge.

Yeah! We did it! Now, what? Said Hunk.

Now, kick me as hard as you can say Pidge.

What? No, we're friends said Hunk.

No, no. Kick me so I can fly across the room and get to the control panel said Pidge.

Oh... oh, oh! No, no, no said Pidge.

How can you guys be taking a nap while this castle is trying to kill us? Lance asks.

Taking a nap? We've been floating around in Zero-G! You know how scary that is? Said Hunk.

That's not scary! That's fun! I was almost ejected into space said, Lance.

I got attacked by killer food, and that's the most horrifying thing you can imagine! The stuff of nightmares! It'll haunt me to my grave said Hunk.

Well, I had a robot trying to kill me said, Keith.

I don't care what you say, Coran. This castle has gone apples and bananas said, Lance.

Perhaps the infection from Sendak's Galra crystal is worse than we thought said, Coran.

Well, let's get rid of it said Hunk.

It's too late. When Sendak plugged it into the ship, it corrupted the entire system said, Coran.

Sendak? Wait. Has anyone seen Shiro? Asks Pidge.


Scene changes to the detainment room.

We're connected, you and me. Both part of the Galra Empire said, Sendak.

No! I'm not like you said, Shiro.

You've been broken and reformed. Just look at your hand said, Sendak.

That's not me said, Shiro.

It's the strongest part of you. Embrace it. The others don't know what you know. They haven't seen what you've seen. Face it. You'll never beat Zarkon. He's already defeated you said Sendak.

I'm not listening to you said, Shiro.

Do you really think a monster like you could be a Voltron Paladin? Sendak asks.

Stop it said, Shiro.

Then the others come into the room.

Shiro, are you okay? Pidge asks.

Where's Sendak? Keith asks.

I... I had to get him out of here. I was hearing his voice. He... He can't be trusted on this ship said, Shiro.

He was messing with Shiro's head said Lyra.

It's the ship! I got stuck in a cryo-pod, then, in an airlock. Keith got attacked by a robot, and Hunk and Pidge got attacked by food. It's been a weird morning said, Lance.

What? How is that possible? Coran asks.

What is it? Keith asks.

The ship is starting a wormhole jump said, Coran.


Scene changes to the bridge.

Allura, what's going on? Shiro asks.

Stay away from my daughter said Alfor.

Uh said Hunk.

Allura, wake up said, Shiro.

The crystal must have corrupted King Alfor's artificial intelligence. It's taking over said Coran.

We're headed straight for a star and it's about to explode said Pidge.

Father, I can see Altea said Allura.

Allura! Allura, wake up! What you're seeing isn't real said, Coran.

The juniberries, the most exquisite flower of all said Allura.

Allura, please! You've got to listen to me said, Coran.

Is this real? Allura asks.

Of course, it is real, Daughter. That flower you're touching is real said Alfor.

But where is the fragrance of the sweet juniberries? Coran asks.

Huh? said Allura.

That's not Altea said Allura.

When that star goes supernova, it will destroy the entire system. Allura, you must reset the course and get us out of here said Pidge.

Father, please, I beg you to turn this ship around. If we don't do it soon, we will all perish said Allura.

I know. That is my intention said Alfor.

What? Why? Allura asks.

Don't you see, dear daughter? Zarkon can never be defeated. He's been ruling for ten thousand years said Alfor

But we must continue to fight said Allura.

Fight for what? It is all over for Altea. You don't have to live a lifetime of war. You can be with me and the rest of your people said Alfor.

Father, please! The paladins and I can still stop Zarkon! Somewhere in there, you must want that to happen said Allura.

Allura, my A.I. has been corrupted. You must disconnect my power source said Alfor.

We can stroll across the Blossom Canyon every morning, just like we used to. Remember how much you loved that? Said Alfor.

I remember. I'll see you soon, Father. I've got to get into the A.I. chamber to disconnect my father's power source manually said Alfor.

But that means losing King Alfor forever said, Coran.

Paladins, get to your Lions! I need you to slow the Castle's descent into the star said Allura.

I can try to override the system to open the hangars said, Coran.

Paladins, get to your hangars. We're getting out of here said Allura.

I'm so sorry about your father, Princess said Shiro.

We all are said Hunk.

Thank you. But that was not my father. The real King Alfor was a great man and a great father. He may not be here with us anymore, but his dream lives on through all of us, and his legacy is Voltron said Allura.
