KathDMD - I will always be the other half of our brain, love. I think it's the reason I channel Lenora so well...because I know you so well. You're one of the main reasons I keep doing this. And I hope this next episode makes you proud.
Megazord Prime - The greatest thing about the Voltron Force is that they will always stay true to Voltron's mission.

Episode 91 : "Into Infinity" – Part 1
JC ran into the Bogart's main hangar with the rest of the team. They quickly climbed into their Jets and prepared for launch.
"Is everyone ready?" he asked.
"Born ready," Roxy shouted.
"All systems go!" Tails shouted.
"Let's roll, boss!" Seth shouted.
"I'm ready," Dariana said. Tick scurried onto her shoulder and let out several loud and pronounced clicks. "Tick's ready too!"
"Then let's launch!" JC shouted. The engines fired up, and the jets zoomed out of the hangar and into space.
"Commander!" one of the bridge officers shouted. "The Voltron Force has just launched from that ship!"
"Which ones?" Kala asked with annoyance.
"The annoying jets we encountered near Hydra," he replied. She ran to the console and slammed her fist on the button.
"MAAAAAAHOOOOOOOX!" she shouted.
"No need to shout, Commander," Maahox replied calmly. "I already anticipated your next move, and General Soltorn is already on her way to smash the life out of the Voltron Force." There was a brief pause.
"Thank you," she replied, confused, then ended the com.
"Regardless of Kala's ungrateful attitude," Maahox said to himself, "if Soltorn isn't able to defeat Voltron in a fight, then we'll make sure when she dies, she takes them with her." He grinned from ear to ear.
"Their fleet is still relatively small," JC said, "probably left over from Hydra. Just keep focusing on the command ship."
"Last time we ran into these snart bags," Roxy shouted, "we put a gaping hole in the side of their ship. Concentrate your fire on these coordinates. If we can penetrate the shield, we can take them out quickly and end this."
"There's just one problem," Tails said after firing on another drone ship.
"What's that?" JC asked.
"That," she replied. JC's screen switched, and showed a robeast being released from the ship. It grew to gigantic size with the help from a laser ray emitted from the command ship.
"That's not…." JC started to say.
"It is," Roxy replied. "I'm not sure what it is or why it's still here, but we need to stop it."
"There's something odd about this robeast, JC," Dariana said. "It seems different from the others." Tick let out several squeals of agreement.
"Regardless, we have to do something," Seth said.
"All units, move into position to form Voltron!" JC ordered. "Activate interlocks! Dynotherms connected! Infracells up! Megathrusters are go!"
"Let's go Voltron Force!" they shouted. The jets flew in wing formation, then switched to star formation as the energy field took hold.
"Form feet and legs!" JC shouted. "Form arms and torso! And I'll form the head!" Voltron arched backwards as the energy field exploded, its eyes lighting up with power.
"Voltron!" Soltorn shouted. "It's time you felt the full power of the Fourth Kingdom, and the supreme might of the Drule Empire!" It spun around and swung its barbed tail at Voltron. JC jerked the controls, and Voltron was able to lunge backwards, avoiding the sting.
"Wait…the Fourth Kingdom?" Roxy asked.
"What is it, Rox?" JC asked.
"Now I recognize her….or what's left of her," Roxy said. "It's General Krai Soltorn, current leader of the Fourth Kingdom of the Drule Supremacy."
Lord Kanji stood up from his throne and began to descend. The guards at the foot of the stairs knelt in reverence.
"Lord Kanji," one of them asked, "are you going somewhere?" He stopped and looked at him.
"Ready the Revenge," he replied. "I want it fitted with new armament. I want it fit for battle within the hour, and I want to oversee our operations against the Alliance personally."
"Do you think that's safe, my lord?" he asked. Kanji gave him a cold stare.
"You won't find an ounce of fear in me," Kanji replied. "Best you take your own fear and do….my…..bidding."
"Y-y-y-yes my lord," he replied, getting up and running.
"Some things I must see for myself," he said, "even if it's all in the name of building strategy."
"Everything is going exactly according to planned," Colonel Dillin said, looking at Commander Kala on the screen. "The Alliance forces have been scattered thinly, and the High Council has been lulled into a false security. There will be little to no resistance once you arrive."
"I hope so, Colonel, for your sake," she replied. "Marshall Wade has a low tolerance for failure." The com ended. He turned in time to see Commodore Mitchell enter the room.
"Dillin!" he shouted. "I've been studying the security tapes, and going over the data we remotely collected both from Hydra as well as a strange anomaly from the Outer perimeter! Sensors are picking up an attack fleet heading towards Earth!" Dillin remained silent, and began to stare him down.
"I'm aware of the situation, Commodore," he replied.
"Are you deaf?" Mitchell shouted. "We have to alert the rest of the Council! Our ships have been sent to the far corners of the galaxy, and we still have not heard from Brown or the Voltron Force yet! All hell is about to break loose, and you're telling me you're simply aware of the situation?"
"Do you know what it's like to be overlooked, Commodore?" Dillin asked.
"I beg your pardon?" Mitchell replied in confusion.
"Every meeting I sat by and allowed things to happen," Dillin said. "My voice was never once heard or appeased. Now that the Council is under control, with our allies on their way here, what I say won't be overlooked anymore."
"Dillin," Mitchell asked, approaching him, "what's gotten into you?" He turned him around, and saw the glowing purple eyes staring back at him. Dillin grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground.
"Power…." he whispered in his face, then threw him across the room like a rag doll. Mitchell fell to the ground, knocked unconscious. He held out his hand. "Take him to the detention cell and hold him there. If anyone asks, he attacked me, and was taken into custody."
"Yes, Colonel," one of the guards replied with a salute. They lifted Mitchell up and dragged him out of the room.
"Their ship has opened fire on us, Commander!" one of the officers said. "If they destroy our fleet here, we won't be able to attack Earth!"
"Organize a strategic retreat," Kala replied. "Make them think they are winning. "Let Soltorn buy us the time we need to escape. Set a course for Earth. Once we arrive, our allies there should be able to come to our aid, and Marshall Wade can complete his attack on Galaxy Garrison."
"Sir!" the bridge officer shouted. "The Drule command ship seems to be backing off!"
"Looks like we've got 'em on the run," Captain Stebbins replied.
"Hold on," Vice Marshall Hawkins said. "Can you see what their course and heading is?' After a few moments, the officer spun around in his chair and looked him dead in the eye."
"The fleet appears to be heading for Earth," he replied.
"What?" Jon asked.
"Analysis?" JC asked.
"Gimme a minute," Tails replied, keying things in furiously. "She's a tough nut to crack."
"We may not have a minute," Roxy said, yanking the controls as Voltron dodged another tail swing.
"Let's get a little up close and personal then," JC said. "Dari, pull him in!" Tick let out a couple of affirmative clicks.
"Form Blazing Chargers!" Dariana shouted. The handles formed in Voltron's hands, and he swung around, firing one from his right hand at the robeast. Soltorn caught it.
"Now!" JC shouted. Dariana hit the button and electrified the charger. Before Soltorn could release it, Voltron yanked hard, pulling the robeast ath them. Voltron wound up with its left hand and swung hard, punching her in the chest.
"Analysis complete," Tails said. "Bad news is she's been cross spliced with some sort of scorpion beast, and is being held together by large doses of lason enriched haggarium."
"So what's the good news?" Roxy asked.
"There's good news?" Tails asked. JC smacked his head.
"We're gonna need to take out that tail first," JC said. "It seems to be its primary weapon." Soltron swung around and hit Voltron, sending him reeling.
"That sting is infecting the systems!" Tails said, franticly keying in commands. "I'm trying my best to override."
"We need to stop it," Dariana said affirmatively. She attached a cable to her voltcom, and Tick ran down her arm and transformed, attaching himself to it. She plugged herself into the console. She closed her eyes. Come on Kovinx….I need you….
"How?" JC said. Dariana's eyes sprung open, pure white.
"McGovern can take them out with the axes, and a speed boost," Darina souted, gripping the controls tightly.
"That might work," Tails said. Roxk connected her Voltcom.
"Speed Boost ready!" Roxy shouted.
"Let's do this then!" JC shouted.
"Form Blazing Axes!" Tails shouted. The green energy emitted from Voltron's hands as he reached behind him and pulled two throwing axes. "Setting course….and mark!" Voltron dodged left and threw one axe which sliced off the tail, and then another, which embedded in the beast's back. Soltorn reeled back in pain. She turned to face Voltron.
"I think we ticked it off," Seth said.
"No one shall make a mockery of the Drule Empire!" Soltorn shouted. She reached up to the patch over her eye.
"What is she doing?" Roxy asked.
"I….I don't know," Tails said, frantically checking her scanners. Soltron ripped off the patch, her eye socket sewn shut. She extended a set of claws and tore at the scar, ripping open her eye socket.
"Sick!" Seth shouted.
"No," Dariana said. "Side effect." A powerful laser fired from the opening and hit Voltron dead on, sending it into an uncontrollable spin.
"Systems are down!" Tails shouted. "I can't get anything to function! That concentrated haggarium blast short circuited everything!" Dariana kept calm, and looked down at her Voltcom.
"It's time for some payback, my little friend," she said. Several clicks were heard from the Voltcom, as if Tick was complying. She held out her hand, and the Voltron itself began to freeze.
"What's happening?" JC shouted.
"I don't know," Tails shouted. "The entire hull is being encased in some sort of ice!"
"Seth?" Roxy asked.
"It's not me, I swear!" he replied. Dariana smirked. The ice exploded, and Tail's eyes widened.
"Power is back to full!" Tails shouted.
"What the…" Roxy said.
"Debate later," JC said. "Form Blazing Sword!" Red reached over and met Green at the hip and pulled, the energy beam forming the Blazing Sword.
"No!" Soltorn shouted. "I am strong! I am all powerful! I am the might of the Drule Empire! You can't stop me!"
"Your veins are filled with lies," Dariana grunted. "You are nothing." The Blazing sword became supercharged as Voltron sped towards her. Soltron tried to fire on Voltron again, but Voltron was able to quickly slice her in half. She screamed out in pain before everything imploded in a flash of light, leaving nothing but debris.
"Now, to go after that command ship," JC said. Suddenly, the com activated.
"Grend!" Lenora shouted.
"Yes, Space Marshall?" he asked.
"That command ship and the fleet are headed to Earth!' she shouted. "We have to…." The com was interrupted with static, and when they tried to clear it up, on all channels and frequencies, a message began to play.
"Greetings, members of the Galaxy Alliance," Wade said. "Or should I say…future slaves of the New Drule Empire!"
