After finding out that Keith and Princess Allura have been switched into each other's bodies, Coran took them to the Sleep Pods to analyze them in their sleep while Lance, Hunk, Pidge and the mice are waiting anxiously for the results in the Lounge.
"You know we never a chance to eat breakfast this morning." Hunk spoke.
"Not now Hunk. We wait here until Coran gives us an update on Keith and Allura's condition." Pidge replied, telling Hunk that breakfast is not important at this time. Even the mice squeaked in agreement.
"I know that Pidge but I'm still hungry and I haven't eaten a thing." Hunk insisted, feeling his stomach growling.
"You should try going on a diet Hunk. Your hunger pains aren't helping the situation we're having right now!" Lance snapped.
"Oh shut up Lance! You're still mad because we called you dumb during the time Keith dragged all of us into tracking Lotor down, only to fall right into a trap in the planet full of nitrogen gas that screwed up our sensors and turned to fire when we tried to blast Lotor." Hunk responded by reminding them about the cat and mouse incident involving them along with Keith and Allura trying to chase down Prince Lotor but ended up falling right into his trap, putting the Paladins in danger.
"But we all got out of there alive and reformed Voltron." Pidge said.
"Which is actually true by the way." Lance added before he boasted "All Keith had to do is to admit that he was wrong and I was right."
"No, you didn't Lance! We were trying to be the voice of reason when Keith was too hotheaded and stubborn to listen until we were scattered all over the planet, which was enough to get him to admit his wrong." Pidge argued, correcting Lance which made him frown in annoyance.
"And after that, Allura progress with the Blue Lion faster than the rest of us combined and was able to beat Lotor by putting his left wing of the Galra Fighter on ice and force him to retreat." Hunk stated. "So Allura saved the day and our lives."
"You got a point there Hunk." Lance agreed.
Coran appeared and informed "Paladins, I was able to scan the effects of the blast that switched Keith and the Princess."
"What did you found out so far?" Pidge asked.
"That diamond on the right side of the Ro-Beast's eye...is radiated with Quintessence." Coran revealed, shocking the Paladins.
"WHAT?!" Lance, Hunk and Pidge yelled in unison.
"The same stuff that Zarkon and Haggar extracted off the planets until they became a wasteland?" Pidge exclaimed.
"I'm afraid so number five." Coran answered.
"Stop calling me that!" Pidge raised her voice at him.
"Sorry, sorry!" Coran apologized, backing off.
"Okay, I'm freakin' out again." Hunk said, shaking in his boots.
Keith and Allura (in each other's bodies) appeared in their perspective outfits, trying to adjust their new bodies and clothes.
"How do you wear this outfit, Allura? It's extremely tight and it's sticking to that huge ass of yours like a spandex!" Keith in Allura's body complained about Allura's wardrobe. "Not to mention that your boobs are really perky despite being covered."
"Mind your manners, Keith." Allura in Keith's body sternly told him. "It is very inappropriate to make such piggish remarks about my clothes and my figure."
"I'm betting Shiro wouldn't have to endure what I'm going through right now!" Keith grunted. "It's bad enough that I'm trapped in the body of a 10,000 year old Altean Princess."
"Actually my body is still a teenager like yours and it was actually also cryogenically asleep for 10,000 years." Allura corrected, taking offense to that remark. "Age is only a number, so don't make fun of it."
"Whatever." An annoyed Keith shrugged his shoulders.
"So how are you holding up?" Hunk asked.
"Considering that I had to make sure that Allura doesn't get any bright ideas after she saw what I got in my pants, we're doing just fine." Keith answered, smacking Allura on the hand after noticing that she was checking out what's inside his pants.
"If I recall Keith, you prevertedly touched my breasts in a very quiznaking sleazy way!" Allura shot at him, reminding that he laid a finger on her breasts and squeezed them.
"How should I know? I didn't know that I ended up in a women's body, let alone..." Keith shot back, defending himself and then he felt something groping on the rear end of his new female Altean body, which turned out to be Lance who smiled innocently with his nose bleeding.
"Heh, heh, heh." Lance laughed innocently. "Uh, oops."
Keith reacted by punching Lance in the face that he sent him flying to the other side of the Lounge, causing everyone to whiten their eyes before he grunted "Punching Lance in the face for touching it right in the buns."
"Ow." Lance groaned in pain.
"I see your point Keith." Hunk said, then turned to Coran and asked. "Anyway, how long will they stay like this?"
"Until we find a way to destroy the Ro-Beast and the diamond radiated with Quintessence, it's possible that the switch between Keith and Allura could be permanent." Coran stated, shocking the Paladins once again.
"WHAT?!" Everybody yelled in unison.
Keith grabbed Coran by the collar of his shirt and yelled "Are you telling me that I'm going to be an Altean Princess for the rest of my life?!"
"And me spending the rest of my life as a half human, half Galra?!" Allura added, yelling in the panicked state. "This is unreal! I cannot live like this neither!"
"Calm down you two! We'll find a way to fix it!" Pidge reassured Keith and Allura as she and Hunk restrained them.
"Yeah, in the meantime, Keith will have to make wormholes to travel in space since he's trapped inside Allura's body." Hunk added.
"What? Why me?" Keith whined with anime tears in his eyes.
"Because the wormholes from the Castle are powered by Altean energy. Princess Allura's body is 100% Altean. So...yeah." Hunk stated.
"I'm afraid he's right." Coran agreed "There's no way to sugarcoat it because of the switch between you and Allura. So you two will have to adjust and adapt to being each other for the time being until we find the Ro-Beast and destroy it."
"Then we'll have to start training Princess." Keith suggested that he and Allura should train in each other's bodies until they switch back to normal. "Who knows what it'll happen next or later on because of the situation we're in right now."
"It sounds like...fun." Allura smiled, frustrating the leader of the Paladins.
"Just take it real seriously okay?" Keith shuttered. "I just want to know if I'm good enough for this body. No, no, I mean good enough to..."
"Keith, do shut up and let's get on with it." Allura told him after cutting him off and Keith started growling in anger as they walked out of the Lounge.
"Oh boy. It might be difficult to form Voltron that way if they're like this." Hunk stated as he and Pidge picked up the unconscious Lance, hoisted him on Hunk's shoulders and carried him out of the Lounge.
"Yeah, you're not kidding." Pidge agreed.
Back at Zarkon's Ship, Haggar was pleased with the results of the Ro-Beast's performance on the battlefield after watching on the monitor.
"It worked. Just as I knew it would. I was able to get the Ro-Beast to switch at least two Paladins in each other's bodies, bringing confusion and despair from within." Haggar laughed wickedly. "Now all I have to do is to do the same thing with three more Paladins and it'll be impossible for them to form Voltron. That way Emperor Zarkon will be avenged."
One of the Druids approached her and informed "Haggar, Emperor Zarkon has a cardiac arrest."
When she became worried about her Emperor, Zarkon hissed "Quickly! He mustn't let him die!" as she and the Druids rushed to the Slumber Chamber where Zarkon is on life support after suffering a devastating defeat at the hands of Voltron before Shiro banished without a trace.
Back at the Castle of Lions, Keith and Allura (in each other's bodies) in their Paladin uniforms (except that Keith in Allura's body is wearing red and Allura in Keith's body is wearing pink) stood toward the Lions.
"Are you sure about this Keith?" Allura asked. "The Lions are going to be confused about us, considering that we're switched."
"At this point Allura, we don't have a choice." Keith as he and Allura put their helmets on. "So let's get inside and get it over with."
Both Keith and Allura got inside their prospective Lions and attempted to fly into space but they noticed that none of them are moving.
"That's strange. My Lion is not moving." Allura said.
"Mine isn't working either." Keith added. "I wonder if the blast from the Ro-Beast did something to them too?"
"Your guess is as good as mine."
"Let's switch lions and see what happens." Keith suggested that they should get inside each other's Lions.
"All right, Keith." Allura replied.
So Keith and Allura went to each other's lion and attempted to bond with them, which they successfully did but judging by the way the lions roared, they noticed that something was wrong.
"Oh, no." Allura gasped "Keith!"
"Allura, what's going on with our Lions?" Keith demanded.
"Besides us, the Lions appeared to be switched with one another as well!" Allura revealed what happened to the Black and Blue Lions.
"Wait. Are you saying that the Black Lion switched bodies with the Blue Lion too?" Keith was baffled by that.
"Yes, and they are in the state of confusion like us." Allura answered with a concerned look on her face.
"Oh my god." Keith moaned and palmed his face in disbelief. "What else can happen?"
And then all of a sudden, both reversed Lions reacted by flying from the Lion Bays to outer space, literally dragging the switched up Keith and Allura with them.
"Keith, our Lions!" Allura cried as the Black and Blue Lions are flying and spinning around the Castle sideways. "They're literally freaking out!"
"I know that!" Keith exclaimed. "I can't control it! They're too busy freaking out to respond!"
"Well, don't just stand there, do something!"
"I'm trying!"
"Well, you are not trying hard enough!" Allura argued.
"Oh shut up Princess! You're the one who's not trying hard enough either!" Keith argued back.
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!" Keith saw the Blue Lion in the Black Lion's body and reacted "Oh shit! Allura, look out!"
"Oh, no!" Allura cried as both Lions collided, being sent flying around in space.
"Okay, Allura. That's enough for now. Let's go back to the Castle." Keith said after realizing that the Lions are not in the right frame of mind because of the switch between them.
"All right, Keith. This is more than what we bargained for." Allura responded as they flew back to the Castle of Lions and she just started yawning. "In other words, I'm very tired."
Back on Zarkon's ship, the medics are doing everything they can to be keep Zarkon's condition stabilized as the heart monitor shows that his vital signs are failing.
After using the defibrillator to charge him five times, they were able to stabilize their Emperor as he slept peacefully in a coma.
"We're fortunate that we were able to keep him alive for the time being." One of the medics informed the evil Altean witch.
"Good. Carry on." Haggar dismissed the medics as they replied "Vrepir sa!", left the Slumber chamber and then Lotor appeared out of nowhere.
"Your father nearly died of a cardiac arrest." Haggar spoke with her back turned.
"That is indeed truly disturbing." Lotor agreed and then he claimed "I'm also concerned about him despite our differences."
"Then you should stop wasting valuable time being such a spoiled brat and lead the Galra Empire as you're told!" Haggar raised her voice which angered Lotor who pulled his sword out and aimed at her throat.
"You don't get to tell me what to do. Ever." Lotor sneered with a warning. "Otherwise I'll kill you right where you stand."
"You don't understand Lotor." Haggar spat. "The stakes are higher for the Galra Empire with your father out of commission and our hold on all the planets are slipping through our fingers. I was able to summon the Ro-Beast to sabotage the Paladins of Voltron by switching two members into each other's bodies, leaving them unable to form Voltron and stop us."
"Yes, it seems that it's true." Lotor nodded his head as he sheathed the sword, turned around and walked away after he said. "Of course I'll lead the Empire in my father's absence but only on my terms and...when it serves my purpose."
After Lotor left, Haggar frowned, turned to the guards and said "Summon Raht. I have an assignment for him regarding Prince Lotor. I fear that the Prince is rebelling against us and his father as we speak."
"Vrepir sa!" The guards responded with their fists on their chests.
