And second opening

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

''Galaxy garrison flight log 5-11-14, begin descent to Kerberos for rescue mission''lance, our fighter pilot announced ''Lance can you keep this thing straight?" Hunk groaned

." Relax hunk, I'm just getting a feel for the stick, I mean it's not like I did this! He swerved to the left ''or this!'' He swerved to the right. Which caused hunk to groan more ''okay unless you wanna wipe beef stroganoff out of all the nooks and crannies in this thing you'd better knock it off man!''hunk yelled

''we've picked up a distress beacon''pidge announced''alright,look alive team , pidge track coordinates'' ''copy''

''knock it off lance please!''hunk begged''this ones on you buddy, we've got a hydraulic stabiliser out''hunk stared to check, then gulped when he felt he was going to be sick''oh no'' ''oh no,fix now, puke later''lance argued

''I lost contact, the shaking is interfering with our sensor''Pidge yelled ''come on,hunk!''lance yelled ''it's not responding''hunk groaned getting out of his seat to fix it

'' never mind guys, thar she blows,preparing for approach on visual'' lance announced then Pidge said '' I don't thinks that's a good idea with our current mechanical...and gastrointestinal issues'' Pidge finished As hunk groaned

''agreed''hunk said''stop worrying guys, this baby can take it, can't you champ'' he said as the ship started to rumble which didn't sound good at all''-er see ,she was nodding, she was nodding, pidge hail down to them and let them know their ride is here''

''on it" he said as he got out of his seat to reach the communicator'' attention lunar vessel-AHHH'' He yelled as he fell out of the seat

'' what are you doing buckle up and hunk sop that shaking!'' Lance yelled

Pidge grumbled getting up back into his seat while buckling up again

''I'm try--oh no'' he didn't finish and vomited into the gear box ''Attention lunar vessel, this is galaxy garrison rescue craft one victor six three tango, coming in for landing, against crew recommendations''pidge said

''no time for your mutinous comments now pidge, their going under and we're going in.''

''Look out for that over hang!''pidge yelled pointed towards the obstacle ''no worries , my first year in flight school, know what they calls me 'the tailor' cause of how I thread the needle'' he said with a smirk

''Come around, come around, come on ,on come'' he kept repeating but instead of getting through without a scratch, we got hit. '' we lost a wing!''hunk yelled ''oh man''Lance groaned.

The ship kept on beeping till we crash landed

''simulation failed'' the computer announced. ''Nice work tailor''pidge said sarcastically slouching in his seat, commander inverson opened the door

'' roll out donkeys'' he ordered as the three of us exited ''now lets see if w can't use this complete failure as a lesson  for the rest of you students, can anyone point out the mistakes these three so-called cadets made in the simulator'' which of course nearly everyone answered.

'' correct and worst of all their arguing with eachother, heck , if you're going to be this bad you'd better at least be able to work as a team, galaxy garrison exists to turn young cadets, like you, into the next generation of elite Astro explorers. But these kinds of mental mistakes are exactly what cost the lives of the men on the Kerberos mission!'' Which of course that statement made pidge mad

''That's not true, sir!'' He yelled

''What did you say!?''he yelled back

''Sorry sir!''Lance said covering pidge mouth''I think he may have hit his head when we crashed, but point taken''

''I hope I don't have to remind you, that the only reason you're here, is because the best pilot in your class had a discipline issue and flunked out. Don't follow in his footsteps,'' iverson said in a stern voice

''Next!'' He yelled as the next group went in

Lance POV

''Lights out in five! Everyone back to their dorms, now!''iverson yelled walking down to the next hall.

'We shouldn't be doing this'' hunk whispered ''you heard iverson we have to bond as a team, we gonna grab pidge, hit the town, loosen up , meet some nice girls ''as the lights went out and we went to get pidge from his room

''I'm just saying this here, right now , on the record, this is a bad idea'' hunk whispered

"You know for someone in a space exploration program, you don't have much of a sense of adventure''As crouched past the instructors window

''all your little adventures end up with me in the principles office'' we heard one of the guards coming from around the corner so me and hunk hid in the bins ''L-5 north all clear'' I hopped out but hunk was having trouble

''AHH!!''he yelled as he fell over. then he got back up '' I'm fine'' hunk said as he stood up. Both hide against the wall to see pidge running Down the hall '' where is he going'' I mumbled

Time skip

pidge sitting on the roof with a bunch of sweet tech while wearing headphones listening to radio chatter, Lance walked up to pidge, lifted his headphones and asked ''you come up here to rock out?''

''AHH!'' he screamed ''oh Lance,hunk, no,um, just......looking at the stars''smiling nervously

''Man, where'd you get this stuff , it doesn't look like garrison tech? Lance asked ''I build it'' he smirked confidently

''You build this''hunk asked trying to poke the antenna

"Stop it''pidge said smacking his hand away ''with this thing I can scan all the way to the edge of the solar system''

''That right?''Lance said curious ''all the way to Kerberos?" Pidge scrunched her shoulders and looked down ''you go ballistic every time the instructors bring it up. What's the deal?''lance asked

''Second warning hunk!''Pidge warned angry at Hunk which he pouted at.

''Look Pidge, if we're gonna bond as a team we can't have any secrets.'' Lance explained

Pidge then sigh in defeat '' fine, the world as you know is about change, the Kerberos mission wasn't lost because of some malfunction or crew mistake....STOP TOUCHING MY EQUIPMENt!!'' He yelled at Hunk, he finally gave up, lying on the ground pouting ''so I've been scanning the system, and picking up alien radio chatter'' pidge finished

''What? Aliens?'' Hunk asked scared

''Okay, so your insane. Got it,'' Lance said
''I'm serious, they keep repeating three words, 'voltron'. 'franxx' and 'zero two'...and tonight, it's going crazier than I've ever heard it'' he stated

'' and how crazy?'' Lance asked till they heard the sound of the schools alarm going off

''Attention students! This is not a drill! We are on lock down! Sercurity situation Zulu-niner!repeat:all students are to remain in barracks until further notice!''

''Is that a meteor?!''Hunk asked''a very, very big meteor?''

All of us saw the UFO crashing to earth.

Pidge grabbed the binoculars and what  ''it's a ship!'' He exclaimed just then Lance grabbed binoculars

''holy crow! I can't believe what I'm seeing! That's not one of ours'' he exclaimed

''No it's one of theirs'' Pidge said

''So wait. There are really aliens out there?'' Hunk asked

They watch the ship crash and multiple gasses on cars drive towards the crash site to investigate.

''We gotta see that ship'' Pidge exclaimed grabbing her bag and running to the crash site

''Come on, Hunk'',Lance yelled running after us

''Okay, this is the worst team-building exercise ever!'' he yelled to us as we ran to the crash site

TIME SKIP

The three sat at the top of a hill watching as people from the garrison set up some weird lab and were expecting the ship, while Pidge was setting up her gear and Lance looked through the binoculars

''Woah! What the heck is that thing?'' He said ''and who the heck is she?'' He saw some other girl in garrison uniform

''Lance!" Pidge scolded and smacked his forhead "ow!" '' do you think we can sneak through those guards?'' He asked looking through the binoculars

''There's no way, I guess ther's nothing to do but head back to the barracks, right?'' Hunk said

''wait, they set up a camera in there and I grabbed its feed. Look!'' She exclaimed as we saw shiro strapped down on a operating table. Which shocked them all

''Hey, what are you doing?'' Shiro asked with panicky ton in his voice ''calm down, shiro,'' the man in the white suit said ''we just need to keep you quarantined until we run some tests on you'' ''you have to listen to me! They destroy worlds!'' He tried to explain''aliens are coming!''

''That's shiro! The pilot of the Kerberos mission! That guy's my hero!'' Lance pointed

" guess he's not dead in space after all" hunk says

''where's the rest of the crew?'' Pidge asked

''Do you know how long you've been gone?''the guy in white asked

''I don't know? Months? Years? Look, there's no time, aliens are on their way, they'll destroy us, we need to find  voltron and zero two!'' he said

''Voltron and zero two!'' Pidge exclaimed

''Sir, take a look at this,'' one of the men in white said'' it appears that his arm has been replaced with a cyborg prosthetic''.

''Put him under until we know that thing can do''the man I'm guessing was iverson said''no! Don't put me under!there's no time!'' He yelled but couldn't resist

''They didn't even bother asking about the rest of the crew''Pidge said clearly upset

''What are they doing, the guys a legend and their not even gonna listen to him?''Lance asked

"We have to get him out'' Pidge said

''Okay I hate to be the voice of reason here, always , but weren't we just watching on to because there was no way to get past the guards?'' Hunk pointed out

''That was before we were properly motivated, we just gotta think, could we tunnel in?"Lance asked looking through the binoculars at the site

''Maybe we could get some hazard suits and sneak in like med-techs,'pidge said

''Or we dress like cooks, headback to the dorms, sneak into the commissary-- for a little late night snack,'' which the two frowned at.

''No, what we need is a distraction'' Lance said

Suddenly explosions went off scaring all three of us, which also cause the guards to drive over to see what's going on

''Is that the aliens? Is that the aliens? Are they here? They got here so quick!'' Hunk panicked hugging me to death

''No that was a distraction, for him" he points at some figure landing behind a rock "the garrisons heading towards the explosion, and he's sneaking from the other side,'' pidge explained as Lance got the binoculars to see who it is and he knew exactly who it was

'' no way!'' Lance yelled ''oh he is not beating us in there, that guy is always trying to one up me! He yelled running towards the lab

''Who is it'' hunk asked

"Keith!" He yelled ''Who?'' Pidge wondered ''Are you sure?''Hunk asked running after him

''Oh, I'd recognise that mullet anywhere''Lance exclaimed

''Who's Keith'' pidge asked as they ran towards the lab

Inside

"These readings are of the charts!" One of the guys said, just then the door opened to reveal the guy, who glared at them

" hey!" As they ran to him, he got defensive, kicking all three of them down.c the rushing over, removing his bandanna and seeing the man on the tables face " shiro?" He was surprised and took out his knife to remove the restrains 

Just then He's heard

''Nope, no , you-- no,no,no,no, no you don't I'm saving shiro'' Lance said, pushing the stretcher aside and supporting shiros other arm

''Who are you'' Keith asked

''Who am I, er the names Lance''he answered trying to jog Keith's memory but he still didn't remember ''We were in the same class at the garrison''Lance explained

''Really? are you and engineer'' Keith asked

''No,I'm a pilot ,we were, like rivals, you know, Lance and keith, neck-and-neck,?''

''Oh wait I remember you, your a cargo pilot'' he finally remember

''Well not anymore I'm fighter class now thanks to you washing out'' he said

''Well congratulations '' Keith finally as the two walk out

Outside

''Oh man their coming back and they do not look happy''hunk said running to catch up with group

''hey do you mind if we catch a ride with you?''everyone started getting on but as hunk got on the bike it shifted and became heave

''Is this thing gonna be big enough for all of us? Pidge asked

''No''Keith answered annoyed

As the people from the garrison got closer Keith started his bike and drove off as the guys began to chase them.

''Why am I holding this guy?'' Pidge said holding shiro steady

''Hey, we did all fit,''hunk said

''Can this thing go any faster''Lance asked as he turned to see the vehicles gaining on us

''We could toss out some non-essential weight,''keith answered sarcastically

''Oh right''Lance said not hearing the sarcasm the first time''Okay, so that was an insult I get it''he said

''Big man , lean right'' Keith yelled at hunk which he did

Then the bike turned left, really quickly one of the cars behind crash

''Aw man! Mr.harris just wiped out professor Montgomery! No,no he's fine,'' hunk said

''Big man lean right!''keith yelled to hunk again. The bike shifted from the cliff Rhett were on to the other and the two cars that were still following but one of them crashed.

''Guy, I-I-is that a cliff up ahead?''hunk stuttered nervous I looked up ahead and noticed the massive cliff ''Oh no,no ,no''Lance started panicking along with the others

'' yup'' he said smirking while speeding up towards the cliff, jumping off it causing every one to scream

''What are you doing your gonna kill us all!?'' Lance yelled

''Shut up and trust  me!'' Keith yelled back as we were about to hit the ground, Keith pulled up and steadied the bike and drove off

Time skip

Keith went out to talk to him, And  saw him standing on a small nearby hill next to the house, holding his prosthetic hand and looking it at confusingly. 

Keith walked up to him, placing my hand on his shoulder.  "It's good to have you back." He said.  "It's good to be back." Shiro said, smiling.

  "So, what happened out there? Where were you?" 

Shiro looked down at his feet, his eyes showing that he was troubled.  "I wish I could tell you." He sighed "My head still pretty scrambled. I was on an alien ship, but somehow I escaped. It's all a blur. How did you know to come save me when I crashed?"

  "You should come see this." Keith said gesturing to his home

Time skip

Keith pulled some sheet of a billboard with facts and information

''What have you been working on''shiro asked

''I can't really explain it really, after booted from the garrison, I was kinda lost and found myself drawn out to this place. It's like something..some energy was telling me to search.''

''For what'' shiro asked

''Well, I didn't really know at the time, until I stumbled across this area,'' Keith said pointing to an area on the map that was circled labelled energy source'' it's an outcropping of giant boulders with caves, covered in these ancient markings. Each telling a slightly different story about a blue lion, but they all share clues leading up to some event, some arrival, happening last night, then you should up'' he said to shiro as he turned to us

''I should thank you all for getting me out, Lance right?" Shiro asked as he stuck out his metal arm to shake lances hand

Lance hesitated for a moment before smiling and shaking shiros

He turned to shake Pidge and hunks hands, Hunk was nervous about shaking shiros robotic hand so Pidge introduce hunk to him instead

''The nervous guys hunk, I'm Pidge''she said shaking his hand ''so did anyone else from your crew make it out?''

''I'm not sure,'' he said '' I remember the mission and being captured, after that, it's just bits and pieces''.

''Yeah, sorry to interrupt, but back to the aliens, where are they now? Are hey coming? Are they coming for all of us? Like, where are they at this very moment?'' Hunk said panicking

''I can't really put it together . I remember the word Voltron, franxx and zero two, their some kind of weapons their looking for, but I don't know why, what ever it is, I think we need to find them before they do,'' shiro explained

''Well, last night I was rummaging through Pidge's stuff, and I found  this picture, look it's his girlfriend,m ''he teased while holding the picture

''Hey, give me that! What were you doing in my stuff?'' Pidge said angry

''I was looking for a candy bar, but then I started reading his diary'' pulling it out from his pocket ''WHAT!?''he freaked out grabbing it

''I noticed that the repeating series of numbers the aliens are searching for looks a lot like a Fraunhofer line''hunk explained ''Frown--who?'' Keith asked confused

''It's a number describing the emission spectrum of an element, only it doesn't exist on earth'' he clarified "I think it might be this, 'voltron' and I think I can build a machine to look for it, kinda like a Voltron Geiger counterc, and maybe it'll help find this franxx and zero two,''

"hunk you big gassy genius'' lance exclaimed crossed

''It's pretty fascinating really,the wavelength looks like this'' he said  pulling out a piece of paper with dots connected by a line

" give me that" Keith takes the paper and comparing it with the picture of mountains, and noticed the wavelength and the mountains looked the same, so He held it up for the others to see

Time skiP

Few minutes later the group were all standing in the crayon which was the so called location was on the photo, following pidge and hunk using the device hunk made to find the so called energy source ''Okay , I'admit it. This is super freaky,''Lance said as we looked at the rocks

''I'm getting a reading,'' hunk said while the noises his tech made got louder and louder the closer we got to a cave

As we got in we noticed lots of ancient carving

''What are these?'' Shiro asked

''These are the lion carvings I was telling you about, they're everywhere around here'' Keith answered

Lance walked up to the wall and started touching the carving, suddenly the carvings started to glow a bright blue

''They've never done that before'' Keith stated.

But suddenly the ground below started to crumble and everyone all fell through the hole sliding down the water, screaming, After we got to the bottom of the waterfall we fell into a giant puddle

Lance was the first to look up and gasp at what he saw

''They are every everywhere''  Lance whisper and turned to see giant , robotic , blue lion in a forcefield ''Is this it? Pidge asked '' is this the Voltron?''

''It must be'' shiro answered

''This is what's been causing all of this crazy energy out here, it looks like there's a force field around it'' Keith said as he ran toward it to get a closer look, the others walking behind him, lance kept moving side to side while staring up at the giant lion

''Does anyone else feel like this is staring at them?''he asked ''No''shiro bluntly answered him

''Yeah, the eyes are totally following me'' Lance added ''I wonder how we get through this'' Keith muttered touching the forcefield ''Maybe you just have to knock''Lance said which he actually did and worked

The lions eyes glowed yellow and the force field disappeared, the ground below the blue lion glowed the same bright blue as the carvings, then a vision of five lions just like the blue lion flew upwards into the sky and formed a giant, awesome robot, humanoid robot with a giant sword, then some another robots, along with one that held a Lance

''Woah'' we all said in unison

''Uh, did everyone just see that?'' Lance asked

''Err, I think that would be a yes from everyone'' I said

''Voltron is a robot! Voltron is a huge, huge awesome robot! And so is the franxx! There more of them!'' Hunk exclaimed

''And this thing is only one part of it! I wonder where the rest of them are., and the franxx.'' Pidge added

''This is what they're looking for,'' shiro stated

''Incredible'' Keith also added

Just then the blue lion started getting up, then it lowered its head towards the group and opened its mouth that lead up into its body, Lance then smirk and ran in

the rest of them ran after him, when we were all inside we saw Lance sitting in a seat infront of some futuristic control panel.

"Alright! very nice!" He exclaimed as the screen infront showed the waterfall we fell from

''Okay guys I feel the need to point out,  just so we're all, you know aware we're in some futuristic alien cat head right now'' hunk pointed out

''Whoa! Did you guys here that?'' Lance asked.

''Hear what''Keith asked

''I think it's talking to me'' Lance said as he started examining the control panel, then press a bunch of random buttons which made the lion stood up on all fours and roar.

''Okay. Got it now, let's try this!''Lance said grabbing the handles and pushing them forward causing the lion to fly up and burst through the cave walls souring in the air, but the problem was there was only one seat and everyone was clutching on to each other

The others lean against each other for support, pidge and hunk holding onto Lance, everyone was screaming ''You are the worst pilot ever!'' Keith yelled at Lance ''Isn't this awesome!?'' Lance asked excited

''Make it stop! Make it stop!'' Hunk started begging, terrified

''I'm not doing any thing! it's like it's on auto pilot!'' Lance yelled, the lion then flew up into the air

''Where are you going!?''keith yelled at Lance

''I just said  it's on auto pilot!'' He yelled ''It says two alien ships are approaching earth! I think we need to stop them''

''What did it say exactly?'' Pidge asked

''Well, it's not like it's saying words, it's more like feeding ideas to my brain,kind of''he explained

''If this thing is the weapon they're looking for, why don't we just,I don't know give it to them? Maybe they'll leave us alone'' hunk suggested '' sorry lion nothing personal''

''You don't under stand, these monsters spread like a plague throughout the galaxy, destroying everything in their path, there is no bargaining with them, they won't stop until everything is dead'' Shiro said which everyone glared at hunk ''Oh, never mind, then''

Suddenly a giant alien ships appeared infront of them, two completely different

'' uh, holy crow! Are those really an alien ships? Hunk asked

" they found me..."We flew the blue lion around the alien ships to get a better look, but then started to shoot at them ''We've got to get out of here!'' Pidge yelled

''Hang on!'' Lance yelled as he started maneuvering and dodging the ships lasers

''Alright, okay, I think I know what to do'' Lance yelled '' be careful man! This isn't a simulator!''Pidge yelled

''Well, that's good, I always wreck the simulator'' he joked, Lance flew the lion towards the ship, then the blue lion shot a bright blue lasor, cutting a line across it and exploding, the doing the same to the other ship

''Let's try this,'' Lance said pushing more controls on the panel, causing the lion to claw into the purple ship, then the blue one

''Nice job, Lance!" Shiro praised

''okay, I think it's time to get these guys away from our planet,''lance said as he flew the blue lion away from earth, that's when the ships began to chase them.

''Oh no!'' Hunk yelled

''They're gaining on us!'' Pidge also yelled

''It's weird, they're not trying to shoot us, they're just chasing us'' Lance said

''Okay, seriously, now we think having aliens follow us is good? I am not on board with this new direction, guys'' hunk says ''Where are we''Keith asked

''Edge of the solar system, look there's Kerberos,'' Shiro said pointing it out towards the planet

''It takes months for our ships to get out this far!''pidge exclaimed astonished ''we got out here in a matter of seconds!''

''What is that?'' hunk asked as a purple/blue/blank portal appeared in front ''This may seem crazy, but I think the lion wants us to go through there'' Lance exclaimed

''Where does it go?'' Pidge asked

''I don't know, Shiro you the senior officer here, what should we do?'' Lance asked

Everyone looked at Shiro ''Whatever happens, the lion knows more than we de, I say we trust it,but we're a team now, we should decide together'' he answered Everyone looked at eachother to see who agreed and disagreed

''Alright, I guess we're all ditching class tomorrow,''Lance said

Lance flew the lion through the portal and it closed just before the ship could follow ''Woah , that was...''Lance got interrupted by hunks vomiting

''Sorry'' he said weakly before puking again and crista rubbing his back ''I'm just surprised it took his long''Pidge said readjusting her glasses

''I don't recognise any of these constellations, we must be a long way from earth'' Shiro stated ''The lion seems to want to go to this planet, I think.... I think it's going home,'' Lance said as the lion flew towards the planet Because of the pressure, everyone cringed to lances chair

''Guys, a little personal stance, '' he grunted  '' hunk your breath is killing me'' ''Um, is it just me, or is anyone else having second thoughts about flying through a mysterious wormhole? Why are we listening to a robotic lion, anyway?'' Hunk asked

''It got us away from those alien warships, didn't it?'' Lance said to hunk ''I don't know if you noticed, but we're in an alien warship,'' Keith pointed out

''Oh, are you scared?'' Lance teased

''With you at the helm? Terrified,'' Keith answered

''Alright, knock it off! no ones happy to be here, but we are!'' Shiro scolded them " if we want to get through it we've got to do it together'' Shiro finished

''So, what should we do?'' Pidge asked ''First we find out where we're headed, Lance?''shiro asked everyone turned to the cuban boy ''I don't know, I'm sorry, the lion isn't talking to me anymore, wait! Wait, wait! Shh! Listen....I hear something''he said, everyone else started to hear

''...I hear it too,'' Keith said

''It's un--it's kinda of a-a high- pitch squeal?'' Hunk question

Till everyone realised by the smell after

''Come on, Lance!'' The others said covering their noses

''But seriously, there's a castle up ahead,'' Lance said as everyone looked to se he was right, up ahead was a giant beautiful castle ''Wow''everyone stared in awe

As the lion landed, parts of the castle started glowing blue, then the blue lion landed infront of what looked like the entrance.

''Keep you guard up'' Shiro said

''Something wrong?'' Pidge asked

''My crew  were captured by aliens once, I'm not letting it happen again'' he said,
everyone exited the lion

As soon as the group went out, the lion closed its mouth and lifted its head which freaked all of them out

''No! I knew it was gonna eat us! No!'' Hunk yelled as the blue lion roared which caused the castle doors to open

''Oh, the door is open, guess I was wrong about you,'' hunk said to the lion

Everyone walked into the castle but got surprised when hunk yelled, startling the others

  ''Hello?'' His voice echoed ''From the size of the lion, I expected these steps to be bigger'' Pidge said looking at the stairs

''Hold for Identity scan'' the computers voice said as it began to scan us

''What''Pidge muttered

''Why are we here? What do you want from us?'' Shiro asked as the torches on the wall lit up in a direction

''I guess we're going that way,'' Pidge said as we followed the lighting up torches down the hall

''Hello?'' Hunk yelled

As they walked, pidge noticed a picture on the wall " hey guys look!" He gained their attention and pointed at the picture

Imagine Naomi next to hiro, and zero two with a tall black haired boy, but not in a lover arm lock, more like a playful headlock

Squad 13
Franxx pilots

Futoshi
Zorome
Miku
Goro
Mitsuru
Kokoro
Ikuno
Ichigo
Hiro
Naomi

Ein

And zero two

" zero two!" They exclaimed " that must be her"  Keith says pointing at the pink haired girl with her name labelled underneath

" she's hot!" Lance smirks, which the group grown hearing

" and the franxx are mecha's!" Pidge said fixing his glasses " and these are the pilots" while looking at the people on the photo

" but...where are they?" Hunk asked warily

" maybe if we continue, we'll find out" Shiro says

Then the group made their way into a room with a bunch of circles, in a circle formation on the floor of the room

''Where are we?'' Lance asked

''It's some kind of control room,' Pidge answered as she touched the stand and the strange symbol appearing on it

Suddenly five pods arouse from the circles on the ground and it looked like there were people inside

''Are these guys dead?''hunk asked

As one of the pods opened to reveal a beautiful tan-skinned alien girl with white hair, pointy ears and a blue and white dress ''Father!'' She yelled before falling out of the pod an Lance catching her Her eyes were light blue with purple circles in her pupils, she looked up Lance in confusion which he just blushed at which turned into his flirting smirk

''Hello~''he flirted ''Who are you? Where am I?'' She question looking around ''I'm Lance, and your right her in my arms'' he flirted

''Your ears...?'' She questioned looking at them

''Yeah?'' He asked confused

''They're hideous,'' she stated and Lance growled at ''what's wrong with them?"

''Nothing's wrong with them, they heard exactly what you said about them!'' He exclaimed before she grabbed him by the ear twisted him, arm behind his back, and forced his knee to the floor

''Who are you? where is king Alfor? Where's squad 13? What are you doing in my castle?!''she questioned while holding his ear ''A giant blue lion brought us here that's all we know,'' Lance answered in pain

''How do you have the blue lion? What happened to its paladin? What are you all doing here? Unless....how long has it been?'' She questioned letting go of Lance

''We don't know what your talking about, why don't you tells us who you are? Maybe we can help'' Shiro told her

''I am princess allure of planet Altea, I've got to find out how long we've been asleep'' she said walking over to the stand, putting her hands on to reveal a blue screen ''Okay that's how that works','pidge said

Suddenly the second pod opens to reveal a girl, She had a slender and athletic figure, waist-length, long pink hair with straight bangs covering her forehead and a pair of red horns on her head and a white limiter headband over her horns, she gasped as she fell out of her pod, lucky Shiro caught her

Her eyes narrowly from the sleep, slowly opening to reveal sharp, turquoise eyes with rings around the pupils and pinkish-red markings on the canthi

She looked at the stranger holding her and froze, he stared him the same manner, taking in her appearance, then noticing her horns "
You...your her aren't you? Your zero two?" She slowly gets out of his arms and backs up against the pod

"...why?" She narrows her eyes suspiciously

Just then The third, fourth and fifth pods opened to reveal a middle-aged man with orange hair and mustache, a woman with long reddish hair, and a tall man, with shaved, dark blue hair

''Enemy combatants!'' The middle aged man yelled before launching himself at Lance who just moved to the side , before falling he used the pods to balance

''Quiznak! Your lucky I have a case of the old sleep chamber knees, otherwise , I'd grab your head like this,'' he started doing hand motions

''Wrap you up like so--one two three! Sleepy time!'' He said

''Well, before you did that I'd--'' he started doing the pretend fighting-thing

''Oh really? How could do that when I've already come at you with this?'' Both kept on pretend fight

As the man helped the woman out of the pod, she seemed really tired and dizzy " nana, are you okay?" He asked " I'm...fine...what happened?" She asked

" I'm not sure"

" hachi! Nana!" Zero two jumped and ran to the two and embraced them " where's everyone else?" She asked

" we don't know, but don't worry"  nana  assured

''Man, these guys are good,'' hunk said

''It can't be,'' allure said looking at the computer shocked

''What is is?'' The mustache guy asked gaining the other two's attention , plus zero two

''We've been asleep for 10,00 years'' the three along with zero two looked shocked

''planet altea and all of the planets in our solar system have been destroyed, father is gone..our entire civilisation...Zarkon and zero one'' she said angry, which shocked shiro

''Zarkon?....zero one..." he questioned

''He was the king of the gala, a vile creature and enemy to all free people, and zero one is the princess of the klaxosaurs....they have destroyed many worlds all over in hate...'' allura explained

''I remember now...I was their prisoner'' Shiro said

''Their both alive? Impossible!'' Allura said angry

''I can't really explain it, but it's true, their searching for a weapon called 'voltron' ''shiro explained " and their also after the franxx and zero two" he says looking at the horns with the horns

''Their searching for them because they know their the only ones that can defeat them, and that's exactly why we must find the lions it before they do'' she announced

few minutes later

''Princess, you must eat, it's been 10,000 years,'' coran said ''I'm not hungry'' she answered ''Man, 10,000 years? That's like 1,000 plus ten,'' Lance said ''That's times ten,''Keith corrected

''Whatever drop out'' Lance shot out

''I haven't eaten since breakfast and I'm starving,'' hunk said

''but, you've thrown up like five times'' Pidge reminded

''Hmm, good point'' hunk said as he ate some of the goo, then cringed at the taste

''I can't believe your civilisation created such advanced technology 10,000 years ago, it must have been a incredible place'' Shiro stated smiling

''Yes, it was, but now it is gone, and we re the last alteans and parasites alive ,'' coran said as he went to hug a crying allura, zero two look down in anger while the other two place a hand on her shoulder, they heard squeaking coming from allura's pod and to find 4 cute little alien mice

''Looks like we're not the only ones after all'' zero two said as allura walked over two mice jumped on her hands as the other two jumped on her sholders hugging her face making her giggle

''Aww, you guys are so adorable'' suddenly the alarm went off

The screen on the stand turned red and showed a picture of the ship we ran away from

''A galra battleship and klaxosaur ship have set trackers to us!'' coran announced

''How did they find us?!'' Allura asked

''I'm not sure, but I bet it's Keith's fault'' Lance accused him, making him glare

''Say whatever you've got to say to make yourself feel better, after getting us stuck on the other side of a wormhole'' Keith yelled

''I'll stick you in a wormhole!'' He yelled back

''That's it! Enough!'' Zero two scolded pushing The two apart " there no time to be fighting!"

''How long before they arrive?''Shiro asked

''Oh,well, carry the two..I'd say probably a couple of days'' coran said, counting with his fingers

''Good, let them come, by the time they get here, you five will have reformed Voltron, and fight along side the franxx, and together we will destroy zarkons empire and the klaxosaurs '' the princess said, Hunk then burps ''Sorry. Food goo'' he said which Zero two giggle

''Princess, there are five of these lions. How are we going to find the rest?''shiro asked

'' King Alfor connected the lions and franxx to Allura's life force. She alone is the key to the lions and franxx' whereabouts.''coran said as allura stood on a pedestal in the room

The room then turned dark and little dots that looked like locations appeared

"Whoa!" They all exclaimed '' These are coordinates. The Black Lion looks like it's in the same location as the Blue Lion and the franxx!.'' Pidge examined, looking at the two images on the same planet along with five other robots

'' Look at your primitive synapses firing away in their little brain cage.'' Coran said leaning on the side

''Very observant. That's because the Black Lion and franxx are in the castle.'' Allura explained

''To keep the Black Lion and franxx out of Zarkon's and zero ones hands, King Alfor locked them in the castle. They can only be freed if the other four lions are present.'' Coran also explained

" As you have found, the lions choose their pilots unlike the franxx, It is a mystical bond and cannot be forced. The quintessence of the pilot is mirrored in his lion. Together, they form something greater than science can explain. The Black Lion is the decisive head of Voltron. It will take a pilot who is a born leader and in control at all times, someone whose men will follow without hesitation. That is why, Shiro, you will pilot the Black Lion.'' Allura said, then moved in to the green lion

''The Green Lion has an inquisitive personality and needs a pilot of intellect and daring. Pidge, you will pilot the Green Lion. ''

''The Blue Lion -''

''Hold up, let me guess. Takes the most handsome slash best pilot of the bunch?'' Lance interrupted with a smirk

Zero two whispered ''More like the most reckless and snobby'' She whispered which they snickered

''Hey! I heard that!'' Lance yelled pointing at her, shiro and Keith chuckled the princess continued ignoring lances statement

''..The Yellow Lion is caring and kind. Its pilot is one who puts the needs of others above his own. His heart must be mighty. As the leg of Voltron, you will lift the team up and hold them together.'' Allura said hunk pointing at himself nervously

''The Red Lion is temperamental and the most difficult to master. It's faster and more agile than the others, but also more unstable. Its pilot needs to be someone who relies more on instincts than skill alone. Keith, you will fly the Red Lion.'' Keith smirked

'' What? This guy?'' Lance asks which the boy growled at

'' Unfortunately, I cannot locate the Red Lion's coordinates yet. There must be something wrong with the castle. After 10,000 years, it might need some work.'' Allura said

''Don't worry, we'll find it soon. They don't call me "The Coranic" for nothing. It's because it sounds like "mechanic." So... Coranic, mechanic. It's not - It doesn't sound... exactly like it. It's similar.''

" zero two, you will remain with strelizia obviously" while zero two looked happy

Then all the lion holograms ran upwards then formed a giant robot that they saw in the vision, along with the franxx

'' Once all the lions are united, you will form Voltron, the most powerful warrior ever known, the Defender of the Universe along with the franxx.''

" Awesome!" Lance said

'' Oh...'' pidge

''Wait. Okay, we're going to be in there and flying lions. Got that part. How do lions turn into legs? Also, is this going to be a long trip? Because I have to pee. Do you people pee?'' Hunk asked

'' We don't have much time. Pidge and I will go after the Green Lion. Lance, you take Hunk and get the yellow one. Keith, you stay here, If you locate that Red Lion, go get it.'' Shiro said

'' In the meantime, I'll get this castle's defenses ready. They'll be sorely needed.'' Allura said "nana and hachi will also work on the castle also the whereabouts of the other franxx pilots" she says

" right princess" the two nod

''I'll ready a pod and load in the coordinates so that you can reach the Green Lion.'' Coran said

Over comsCoran: We can only keep the wormholes that lead to the other lions open for two of your Earth hours, so you'll have to be quick about your work. The good news is that according to my readings, both planets are relatively peaceful. So, if you do get stuck, they could be relaxing places to live out the rest of your lives. Well, enjoy the trip!''

'' Wait! What? No!'' Lance yelled

''I did not receive the memo on this.'' Hunk yelled

Time skip

Shiro and pidge arrived to a densely-forested Green Planet and explore it using an Altean compass

"Look!" Pidge points towards a canoe with a lion carved as its bowsprit, A sloth-like alien suddenly appears beside them and startles them "It's just a... whatever... that thing is."

The sloth-like alien recognizes the v symbol on PIDGE's compass, it walks towards the canoe and gestured them to follow it  "I... I think he wants us to get in his canoe" pidge said ."Then I guess we should go." Shiro shrugged

"Huh?" Pidge just stared at him

"I've been locked up by aliens for a year. This is nothing." The two get in and enjoy the peacefully ride the canoe as the sloth-like alien paddles them towards the Green Lion, squeaks are heard from the inhabitants of the forest

"I wonder if Hunk and Lance are having as good a time as us." Pidge says as they end yet the tunnel

Meanwhile, Lance and hunk are being chased by Galra fighter jets and coming under heavy fire.

Both of them scream for dear life among the blaring alarms

"Oh, no! No, no, no! Oh! Oh, no!" The Galra figher jets hit the Blue Lion with missiles, knocking it out of the sky

"I thought Coran said these planets were peaceful!" Hunk yelled

"Maybe "peaceful" means something else in Altean!" Lance exclaimed

He then prevents the Lion from crashing and flies towards a Galra mine, hunk Pulled up an Altean compass "According to the coordinates, we're right on top of the Yellow Lion. It's below there, where they're mining for the ore. They don't even know the Lion is there. Or maybe they just got here and they're digging for the Lion? What do you think, Lance?" He asked

"Who cares? Just go get it! I'm dropping you down there." He says

"Me? Down there? No. No, no, no." Hunk shakes his head  "Yes, I'll cover you!"
The blue lion dives towards the surface and runs it toward the mine under laser fire while hunk panicked "No, what if the Yellow Lion doesn't work? Wh-What if I—What if I can't get in the mine? What if I start crying? It's too late! I'm already crying!"

"Sorry, no time for questions." Lance ejects a screaming hunk out and he rolls towards the mine while Lance draws the heavy laser fire away from him.

Hunk opens a mine lift's controls and starts hot-wiring it "Oh Yeah, sure, just drop me off in an alien planet. That's cool, man. It's only occupied by mean purple aliens that want to kill me, but the welled blue aliens aren't here nothing to worry! But whatever. Just ignore them and go connect with a big, yellow, mechanical cat. Easy-peasy. Yeah. That all makes a ton of sense to me." He says sarcastically

The Galra lift goes down into them mine, above him the yellow lion symbols appear and start lighting the darkness "Cool...!" As he gets off, he grunts when feeling the rumbling from outside "Okay, I'm in a giant hole. Now what, Hunk?" He muttered to himself

Hunks gets closer to the Yellow Lion that appears on the floor, causing the carvings around him to glow and show a path towards it

"... Ooh. Pretty." A massive glowing circle appears in front of him, who he as where the lion was hidden " how am I... going to get through that?" He wondered, then notices a mobile drill " Hmm? Hmm..."

Meanwhile outside Lance was struggles while he flies the Blue Lion into the sky to draw the attacks.

Hunk drills through the wall and finds finds the Yellow Lion after drilling through the cave wall around it.

Lance battles the Galra, but they start firing at the mine entrance

"Oh, no!" He turns to stop them, but they shoot at the lines, massive explosion, and the lines collape "HUNK!" Lance shouts staring in shock

Shiro and pidge are still riding along peacefully in the canoe, but pidge begins to have doubts "I know the Princess said that this is supposed to be my Lion, but what if she's wrong? I mean, she's probably not wrong. She's a princess, but I'm not a pilot, even though... I've always wanted to be a pilot. I mean, I read all the fighter manuals, but never got to fly the simulator." Meanwhile the Alien sloth looks at Shiro who smiled sheepishly shrugging as the kid rambled "But, hey, I can't be all that worse than Lance. He crashed all the time. But what if I get in there and it doesn't respond? What if I get in there and it's too big and my feet don't touch the pedals? What if there aren't even pedals?!" He exclaimed

"You're rambling." Shiro says making him stop "Listen... Our commander on the Kerberos Mission is the smartest man I ever met, and he always said, 'If you get too worried about what could go wrong, you might miss a chance to do something great.'" Pidge smiles fondly.

The canoe stops at a root-covered stone temple they start walking towards it, Worry alien sloth waves them goodbye

approach the steps; the lion carvings glow

"Go. Be great." Pidge grins and runs towards the temple's summit. Although nothing is found at the top, a growl is heard and light glows beneath him and he jumps inside of the temple."Whoo-hoo-hoo!"

The Green Lion finally breaks free from its tomb, and Shiro smiled knowing pidge did it

Lance continued fighting the Galra fighter jets on the planetoid "Hunk, come on! Please, buddy!" The Galra fighter jets hit the Blue Lion with a bombardment of laser fire and send it into a spin. "Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Going down! We're going down!"

The Blue Lion crash lands and struggles to stand. As the Galra fighter jets lock on and fire their missiles, LANCE braces for impact "Oh, no!"

Suddenly, the Yellow Lion jumps up from the ground, blocking the incoming missiles and flattening the figher jets with its own body.

"You okay, Lance?" Hunk asked as the ship fell from under the lions jaw "Hunk! I thought you were dead! You jumped in front of those shots to save my life!" Lance sighs in relief but happy

"Well, actually, I was trying to get out of the way. Thankfully, what this thing lacks in speed, it more than makes up for in armor. Man, can it take a beating!" Hunk smirked "

"Ooh?"Galra fighter jets fire more lasers; the Yellow Lion provides cover "We've got incoming!" ALLURA appears on the command screen of the Blue Lion "Paladins, please hurry back! I can't hold the Wormhole much longer!" She exclaimed

"Let's get out of here!" Lance says The two Lions fly towards the Wormhole, although the Yellow Lion starts twirling towards it after it gets hit by one of the Galra fighter jets. "Ah—! Not this again...! Oh..." hunk feels like he's gonna throw up

"Quit screwing around, Hunk! The Wormhole is closing!" Lance scolds c but the two make it through before the galra follow

Soon they came walking into the control room looking completely exhausted ''You made it.'' Allura smiled

'' Yeah, just barely. That was a nightmare. I almost puked out there. I felt like Hunk!'' Lance groaned

''Think how I felt. I am Hunk!'' Hunk yelled at Lance

''Yeah. We had a tough time, too.'' Pidge said with a grin on her face to shiro

'' Did we find the Red Lion yet or the franxx pilots?'' He asked

'' Allura just located the red lion. There's a bit of good news and bad news. The good news is, the Red Lion's nearby. The bad news is, it's on board that Galra ship now orbiting Arus. But wait, good news again. We're Arus!'' Coran said which shocked everyone

''They're here already?'' Shiro asked shocked

'' Yes. Guess my calculations were a bit off. Finger counting is - it's more of an art than a science. Hmm?'' Coran answered which i face palmed then the screen appeared showing an purple, furry alien

Sendak ''Princess Allura, this is Commander Sendak of the Galra Empire. I come on behalf of Emperor Zarkon, Lord of the Known Universe. I am here to confiscate the lions. Franxx and zero two, Turn them over to me, or I will destroy your planet.'' He said before the screen shut down

'' All right, let's not panic.'' Shiro said

''Not panic? Th-The scary purple alien thing is driving his battleship and klaxosaurs toward us. We only have four lions, the franxx, zero two-.'' Hunk panicked

'' Technically, only three working lions, and the franxx won't work without for zero two well without a Sri d pilot.'' Pidge corrected

'' That's right. Thank you, Pidge. Four working lions, no second pilot for two, and a castle that's, like, 10,000 years old.'' Hunk said

' two?' Zero two raised an eyebrow

''Actually, it's 10,600 years old. You see, it was built by my grandfather -'' coran tried to explain

''Thanks, Coran. Thank you for that. See? Now is the perfect time to panic!'' Hunk interrupted still panicking

''Wait! This castle has a particle barrier we can activate.'' Allura remembered

''Girl, you've already activated my par-'' Lance started flirting

'' Lance!'' Shiro cut him off, scolding him while zero two gave a warning look ''The particle barrier won't hold Sendak's ion cannon forever. The Galra technology must have advanced since we fought them last.'' Coran explained ''Panic now?'' Hunk asked

'' No. We've just got to figure out our plan of action, and figure it out quickly.'' Shiro said ''So what do we do?"  Zero two asked

''I say we pop through a wormhole and live to fight another day.'' Lance answered

'' I second that. Yes. I mean, we tried to find all the lions, right? We gave it the old college try. Couldn't do it. We only have three. We can't form Voltron. I guess we could form a snake. Or a worm! To go through that hole, Lance, that you were talking about.'' Hunk sided with lance

'' Then, it's settled. Allura, zero two you ride with me. One of you take the old people.'' Lance said which coran, hachi and nana glared daggers at him '' We can't just abandon Arus. The Galra will keep destroying planets and capturing prisoners until we stop them.'' Pidge said

'' Okay. If we run, then maybe Sendak and the klazosaurs will follow us and leave this planet alone, like when we left Earth. We form the snake-worm thingamajig and we (hisses) out of here.'' Hunk suggested

''Sendak could destroy the planet then come after us anyway. Staying is our only option.'' Keith stated

'' Here's an option: shut your quiznak.'' Lance said shocking Coran, zero two and allura, hachi didn't have any emotions so he didn't react and nana, just covered her face

'' I don't think you're using that word correctly.'' Keith said

'' What do you know, Mullet?'' Lance asked

"We're staying.'' Keith argued

''Leaving!'' Lance argued back

''Staying!'' Pidge yelled

'' Snake!'' Hunk yelled

''Everyone shut up!"  Zero two yelled, for a split second her eyes turned red " the more time we waste! The closer they get!"

The Group looked terrified at her and looked away, she sighs and goes over to hachi and nana " Princess Allura, these are your lions. You've dealt with the Galra Empire before. You know what we're facing better than any of us. What do you think is the best course of action?'' Shiro asked

''I... I don't know.'' She said

''Perhaps your father can help.'' Coran spoke

''My father?'' She questioned

Time skip

CORAN takes ALLURA to the Castle Memory Chamber "Coran, what is this?" She asked

"King Alfor knew there was a chance he might never see you again. So, his memories, his very being, were stored in this computer for you." He answered

Allura approaches the computer and a burst of light changes the Chamber to a vision of Altea.

A holographic image of King ALFOR appears from the computer, she gasped "Father!" And rushes over "Father, it is so good to see you."

"Allura, my only child, how I've missed your face." He smiled fondly, she frowned and need down "... I'm so frightened. A Galra ship and klaxosaur ship are set to attack, and I don't know what to do. Please, Father, I need your help." She begged

He looked at her sadly "I would do anything to take this burden from you."he says

"I don't know if we should run to preserve what we have or stay and risk everything. I want to fight, but the Paladins of old are gone. Squad 13 is gone....I know what you would do." She says

"I scattered the Lions of Voltron to keep them out of Zarkon and zero ones hands. You urged me to keep them and fight, but, for the greater good of protecting the universe, I chose to hide them." He said

"I think I understand." She murmured

"No, daughter" she looked up at him surprised "you were right. I made a terrible mistake, one that cost the universe countless lives. Forming Voltron with the franxx are the only way to stop Zarkon and zero one, You must be willing to sacrifice everything to assemble the Lions and correct my error."

When she came back she wore a battle suit and had her hair in a bun

''You six paladins were brought here for a reason. The Voltron Lions are meant to be piloted by you and you alone. We must fight and keep fighting until we defeat Zarkon. It is our destiny. Voltron is the universe's only hope. We are the universe's only hope.''

''We're with you, Princess.'' Shiro said

No ones PoV

She led the group out of the control room and into a room with five different coloured suits to match the colours of the lions

''Your suits of armor'' she announces, everyone walking towards their different coloured suit

Lance:Cool!''

Shiro: Outstanding.''

Keith: Nice.''

Pidge: Oh, neat!''

Hunk: Hmm... Mmm... hmm''. Hunk looked at his suit and measured it and himself

''Princess, are you sure about this?" Nana asked concerned

"She's right, They aren't exactly the best and brightest the universe has to offer.'' Coran add while looking towards the group questioned while fiddling with his mustache

'' No, but they're all we've got.'' She answered, she turned to zero two " your uniform is here" she says as hachi appears holding her old suit

'' Boys,it's time to suit up!- '' Shiro announcement was cut off by a certain pink hair girl cough " sorry, boys and girl" he smiled sheepishly

Everyone started putting on their suits,

allura then walked over to a table which held five bayards

''The bayard is the traditional weapon of the Paladins of Voltron. It takes a distinct shape for each paladin.'' Allura's Explained as they floated towards their paladin

Hunks floated to him and turned into a machine gun, the weight was heavy causing it to fall down, but he managed to pick it up and grinned

Keith's turned into a sword and shield

Lance turned into a shotgun''Whoo!'' He pointed it in a different direction

Pidges turned into a little arrow thing I don't know what it is

'' Aw, you got a cute little bayard'' Lance teased so she zapped him

''Yeah, it is pretty cute.'' He smirked, while zero two snickered

hers flouted towards her, and turned into two blade like discs "Oh yeah...'' She smirked

''Cool...''Pidge said, both girls high fived '' Shiro, I'm afraid your bayard was lost with its paladin.'' Allura Explained

''I guess I'll just have to make do.'' He said,
Smiling, He did notice the concern look from zero two " don't worry, I'll be fine" he azure

In the control room

The group stood with allura and coran in the control room going over the plan to retrieve the red lion from the ship''You'll need to retrieve the Red Lion from Sendak's ship.''allura explained

'' That's a pretty big ship. How are we gonna know where the Red Lion is?'' Keith asked

''Well it's not a matter of "we." It's a matter of you." Zero two says

'' Pidge is right. Once we get you in, you'll be able to feel its presence and like track it down.'' Hunk joined in

'' Yeah. You know how you felt that crazy energy while we were in the desert?'' Lance asked

''Yeah. You made fun of me for that.'' Keith said

''And I'm proud of that" zero two snorted a little making Keith glare at her "but turns out it's exactly like that mumbo-jumbo.'' Lance finishes

''Keith, remember, the Red Lion is extremely temperamental. You'll have to earn its respect.'' Allura said

''Don't worry you got this'' zero two said, patting his shoulder ''All right. Here's our plan of attack.'' Shiro announced his plan

'' The Galra Empire knows about the Blue and Yellow Lion, but they don't know we have the Green lions too. Hunk, Lance, you'll act as a decoy by pretending to give yourselves up.'' He said

The plan was put into action

''Attention, Galra ship. Do not fire. We're surrendering our lions. But we don't have zero two.'' Lance said "Hope this works" he mutters to himself

''While Sendak is distracted, Keith, Pidge, zero two and I will sneak onto the ship in the Green Lion. Keith and I will find the Red Lion while zero two and pidge guard our exit. Hunk, Lance, find some way to take down that ion cannon.''

With the others the ships doors began to open

'' Pidge, what's your ETA?'' Lance asked

'': We're in.'' He said

Activate tractor beam." Sendak ordered
The Galra warship unleashes a bright light in ther direction "What's that thing?" Hunk wondered

"I think that's our signal to get out of here!" Lance yelled

Both dodge the beam before they were shot "They lied to us. Launch fighters! Klaxosapiens attack!" Sendak yelled

Galra and klaxsaur fighter jets deply from the warships "Hunk, you dismantle the ion cannon while I take these jerks on a space ride!" Lance says

"Ten-four!" He nods inside his shop

With the others

While sneaking in the hall shiro held his head in pain relieving flashed from his past time on the ship

''Shiro are you okay'' zero two asked, kneeling down to help him, he groaned as she helped him up

''yeah, I've been here before. After I was taken by the Galra cruiser off Kerberos, they brought us here, I saw the pilots too." He said, which shocked pidge and zero two

''So, that means your other crewmembers, they might be held captive here too. We... We've got to rescue them!.'' Pidge exclaimed

'' Pidge, we don't have time. We have to get the Red Lion and get back to Arus.'' Shiro said

" then I'll go with him" Zero two says

" zero two we don't have time" Shiro says

" you just said the other franxx pilots are here! I'll go with pidge and get them!" She said

''And we can't just leave prisoners here!'' He argued at him

" Look, no one understands that more than me, but, in war, we have to make hard choices. Now, let's get moving." The two began walking

" No! " the other two yelled causing the guys to stop" Commander Holt is my father. He and my brother were the ones on the Kerberos Mission with you." Pidge explained

''Commander Holt is your father?'' Shiro asked shocked

''Yes. I've been searching everywhere for him and my brother. And I'm not going to give up looking when I'm this close. I won't!'' Pidge turned to go with zero two

''I'm coming with you.'' He said making them stop surprised

'' What?'' Both Keith and zero two questioned

"I remember where the prisoners are held, Keith you go find the Red Lion.'' Shiro ordered '' By myself?'' Keith asked

''Minor change of plans. You'll be fine. Just remember, patience yields focus!" Just then the doors opened revealing robot sentries

" So - Run!'' Both shiro, zero two and pidge ran in the opposite direction of the way Keith went,then ended up being a fork in the road

" Great. Now, which way?" Keith groaned, he heard footsteps and started running again

Outside

Hunk tried slamming into the warship's ion cannon but is blocked by a force field.]
"What the Quiznak? What is that? A force field?" He questioned

On the planet

Allure tries to activate the Castleship's particle barrier "Particle barrier up!" The particle barrier almost activates, but turns back off  "Is that what's supposed to happen?" Coran asked

" no..." hachi says

All four look inside the Castleship's systems through a small hole

"All the barrier crystals are out of alignment!" Nana exclaimed

"We have to fix it immediately. Without the particle barrier, we'll be defenseless." Allura says

"We're too big. What can we do?" Coran questioned

The Altean Mice run past their legs inside the small hole squeaking "The mice!" Allura gasped

"How do they know how to do this?" Hachi wondered

"I can hear them talking to me. I think our minds are connected. It must be from sharing the sleep pod for 10,000 years." The princess explained

The Altean Mice work together to put the crystals back in alignment, then climb back out and onto the console in front of the four "Thank you, friends."

They then noticed Coran to be focusing intensely on the Altean Mice  "Coran, what are you doing?" Allura questioned

"I'm trying to get them to make me a sandwich."

Back on the ship

Keith runs through the warship, but ends up at the same Galra emblem as before

'' You've got to be kidding me!'' Keith yelled frustrated '' Patience yields focus. ...Gotcha.'' He said before running in the direction of the hanger which was where the red lions was in a forcefield

Shiro, zero two and pidge rush through the halls until they come across a Galra drone. Piece fires a beam from the Green Paladin armor before it can do anything

"That thing saw us. We should get out of here." Shiro said as pidge walked to it

"Wait. I think this might come in handy." He says while messing with it, he reconfigures the drone "Now, I'll just reset the controls... and it's working for us!" He smirks as it rose up with a green white light now "I'm going to call you "Rover." Follow me!" It follows them

They then stop at a door leads PIDGE to the prisoners' cell "Open up." Pidge says to rover, who floats towards the panel, and activates the cell door

"Excellent, Pidge." Shiro smiled

The three then enter "Dad?" They entered but only find aliens, and some familiar faces to zero two, the franxx piets

"Don't be afraid. We're here to help you escape." Shiro assured

" zero two?" She gasped when she saw ichigo who had gotten up and looked at with puffy eyes

" ichigo!" the two embrace, as the others came over " goro..ein..." zero eyes widened when she saw the two looked beaten to hell " w-what happened to you two...."

" they got beaten by that sendak guy...he was...saying nasty things about you..." futoshi said sadly

" it...was horrible..." zorome said clenching his fist

"Oh....when I get my hands on him..." zero two growled

" don't worry, let's focus on getting out" hiro said

"It's you... It's you" one of the aliens spoke up, gesturing to Shiro "the Champion. If anyone can get us out of here, he can." He says to the other prisoners

"Wh... What did you call me?" Shiro asked surprised

"We don't have much time." Pidge said snapping out of his trance

"Let's get to the escape pods. Let's go. Come on!" Shiro said gesturing everyone to follow

Outside

Lance is dodging the Galra fighter jets while hunk struggles trying to  take down the icon cannon's force field "Whoa-ho-ho! Yeah, buddy! This is way more fun without Hunk's barfing!" Lance cheered

Keith walks up to the red lions in its forcefield and placed his hand on it

"Bingo. Let's get out of here. Open up." He says looking up at it, but nothing happens

" "It's me. Keith. Your buddy. It's me! Keeeeeeiiiiith, your—I. AM. YOUR. PALADIN!" Nothing happens again

Then knocks on the force field, just then Galra sentries appear and fire laser guns. Keith  blocks them with his armor's shield

"I'm bonding with you! Hey! Come on! We're connected!" He yells at the lion, but it still doesn't react.

He summons his Bayard as a katar and runs at the  the sentries "You're not getting this lion!" But is knocked back by laser fire.

He activates the airlock doors to send the sentries into space, but is sucked out himself.

He's left panicking on space until, The Red Lion comes to his rescue and catches him in its mouth, accepting him as its Paladin. KEITH takes a seat in the cockpit "Good kitty. Let's roll." He smirked

Meanwhile

Shiro, pidge and zero two bring the prisoners and franxx pilots to the escape pods

"Hurry!" Pidge gesturing into the giant pod
"Halt!" They gasp when they hear and see the sentries suround them.

Shiro raised his prosthetic arm and it activates, glowing. But causing him great pain, The sound around him is distorted

"Shiro? Shiro, what's wrong?!" He heard zero two and pidge yell

He settles, and the sound around him returns to normal.

He attacks the sentries at high speed with impressive strenth and his glowing arm. The prisoners leave in the escape pod

Hunk uses the Yellow Lion's mouth cannon on the force field "Come on, just break, you stupid thing!" He exclaimed

The force field finally breaks "Score one for Hunk!" He cheered then slams the Yellow Lion into the ion cannon, disfiguring it. The Red Lion, Blue Lion, and Green Lion appear

"You guys made it!" Hunk cheered

"Kitty Rose has left the stage!" Pidge smirked

"Let's get the heck out of here!" Lance smirked

" I second that!" Zero two adds also smirking

"I hope I stopped that cannon. I could barely make a dent in it!"Hunk said as the group flew back

"Sir, the ion cannon has been damaged." Haxus said

"Then, send the drones to fix it!"
