The Rise of Voltron - Transcript - Voltron Wiki - Fandom PDF
[SHIRO, MATTHEW HOLT, and SAMUEL HOLT are on Kerberos collecting ice samples.]
GALRA COMMANDER: "Emperor Zarkon, we were scouting system X-9-Y as ordered when we
found these primitive scientists. I don't think they know anything useful."
ZARKON: "Take them back to the main eet for interrogation. The Druids will nd out what they
know."
SHIRO: "Please, we come from a peaceful planet! W-We mean you no harm! We're unarmed!"
VOLTRON WIKI
[SHIRO is knocked out and dragged along a corridor. He awakens and is shocked at what he sees.]
An Unlikely Team
[A year later, LANCE, HUNK, and PIDGE are on a simulated ight to Kerberos.]
LANCE: "Galaxy Garrison ight log 5-11-14. Begin descent to Kerberos for rescue mission."
[LANCE jerks the simulator while descending.]
HUNK: "Okay... unless you want to wipe beef strogano out of all the little nooks and crannies
in this thing, you'd better KNOCK IT OFF, MAN!"
[PIDGE's monitor activates.]
HUNK: "Agreed."
LANCE: "Stop worrying. This baby can take it. Can't you, champ?"
[LANCE pats the simulator but the simulator rumbles violently.]
LANCE: "Uh, see? She was—she was nodding. She was nodding. Pidge, hail down to them and
let them know their ride is here."
[PIDGE unbuckles the seatbelt to reach the microphone.]
LANCE: "What are you doing? Buckle your belt. And Hunk, stop that shaking!"
HUNK: "I-I'm try—ah-ah o-oh no—!"
[HUNK vomits in the main gearbox and the rumbling stops. PIDGE speaks into the microphone.]
PIDGE: "Attention lunar vessel, this is Galaxy Garrison Rescue Craft One Victor Six Three Tango.
Coming in for landing and extraction, against crew recommendations."
LANCE: "Uh, no time for your mutinous comments now, Pidge. They're going under and we're
going in."
[LANCE dives the simulator towards the surface of Kerberos.]
IVERSON: "Well let's see if we 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?"
STUDENT: "The engineer puked in the main gearbox!"
IVERSON: "Yes, as everyone knows, vomit is not an approved lubricant for engine systems.
What else?"
STUDENT: "The Comm Spec removed his safety harness."
STUDENT: "The pilot crashed!"
IVERSON: "Correct. And worst of all, the whole jump, they're arguing with each other! Heck, if
you're going to be this bad individually, 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 astroexplorers,
but these kind of mental mistakes are exactly what cost the lives of the men on the Kerberos
Mission."
PIDGE: "That's not true, sir!"
IVERSON: "What did you say?!"
[LANCE clasps his hand over PIDGE'S mouth, but PIDGE continues; her voice mu ed by the hand.]
LANCE: "Sorry, sir! I-I-I think he may have hit his head when he fell out of his chair. But point
taken."
IVERSON: "I hope I don't need to remind you that the only reason your here is that the best
pilot in your class had a discipline issue and unked out. Don't follow in his footsteps. Next!"
[LANCE, HUNK, and PIDGE dejectedly watch as their classmates board the simulator. Later, LANCE
and HUNK hide in the halls of the Garrison as curfew begins.]
LANCE: "You know, for someone in a space exploration program, you don't have much of a
VOLTRON
sense WIKI
of adventure."
HUNK: "All of your little 'adventures' end up with me in the principal's o ce."
[LANCE sneaks by the Instructor's Lounge and motions for HUNK to follow, which he reluctantly
does.]
PIDGE: "Stop it! With this thing, I can scan all the way to the edge of the solar system."
LANCE: "That Right? All the way to Kerberos?"
[PIDGE looks away but does not respond.]
LANCE: "You go ballistic every time the instructors bring it up. What's your deal?"
[HUNK tries to sneakily touch the equipment again.]
PIDGE: "... So I've been scanning the system and picking up alien radio chatter."
HUNK: "Whoa, what? Aliens?!"
LANCE: "OK, so you're insane. Got it."
PIDGE: "I'm serious! They keep repeating one word: "Voltron". And tonight, it's going crazier
than I have ever heard it."
LANCE: "How crazy?"
[The Galaxy Garrison building alarms blare. IVERSON speaks over the intercom.]
IVERSON: "Attention, students. This is not a drill. We are on lockdown! Security situation Zulu
Niner. Repeat: All students are to remain in barracks until further notice."
[A ery object appears in the sky.]
HUNK: "What's going on? Is that a meteor?! ... A very, very big... meteor?"
[PIDGE grabs binoculars.]
LANCE: "Holy crow! I can't believe what I'm seeing! That's not one of ours!"
PIDGE: "No. It's one of theirs."
HUNK: "So wait, there really are aliens out there?!"
[The three watch as the alien spacecraft crashes into the desert. The Garrison sends out land
rovers to the crash site.]
LANCE: "Whoa... What the heck is that thing?! ... And who the heck is she?"
PIDGE: "Lance!"
[PIDGE hits LANCE for being distracted by a female Garrison o cer.]
LANCE: "Ow! Ah, right, alien ship. Man, we'll never get past all those guards to get a look."
HUNK: "Aw, man. Yeah, we—yeah I guess there's nothing to do but head back to the barracks,
right?"
PIDGE: "Wait. They set up a camera in there and I grabbed its feed. Look!"
[SHIRO is on the feed strapped to a table as Garrison technicians examine him.]
HUNK: "Is that the aliens?! Are—Tha—The—Is that the aliens?! Are they here?! They got here so
quick!"
PIDGE: "No. Those explosions were a distraction, for him!"
[PIDGE points to KEITH arriving by hovercraft.]
PIDGE: "The Garrison's headed towards the blast, and he's sneaking in from the other side!"
[LANCE views the new arrival through binoculars.]
LANCE: "No way...! Oh, he is not going to beat us in there! That guy is always trying to one-up
me!"
HUNK: "Who is it?"
LANCE: "Keith!"
PIDGE: "Who?"
HUNK: "Are you sure?"
LANCE: "Oh, I'd recognize that mullet anywhere!"
PIDGE: "Who's Keith?!"
[LANCE, HUNK, and PIDGE run toward the quarantined crash site. Inside, the technicians examine
SHIRO.]
IVERSON: "Hey!"
[KEITH attacks and knocks out all three technicians, then runs to SHIRO, surprised to nd him.]
KEITH: "Shiro...?"
[KEITH cuts SHIRO free from his bonds and tries to carry him out. LANCE, HUNK, and PIDGE arrive.]
LANCE: "Nope. No you—No, no, no, no, no, no, no you don't. I'm saving Shiro."
[LANCE lifts SHIRO over his shoulder.]
HUNK: "Oh, man, they're coming back and they do not look happy. We gotta go. Uh, do you
mind if we catch a ride with you?"
[Everyone climbs aboard KEITH's hovercraft and it tips over.]
PIDGE: "Is this thing going to be big enough for all of us?"
KEITH: "No."
[KEITH has to take o as the Garrison arrives to pursue them. PIDGE has to hold on to SHIRO.]
HUNK: "Aw man! Mr. Harris just chiked out Professor Montgomery! ... No, no, he's ne."
KEITH: "Big man, lean right!"
[HUNK complies and the hovercraft jumps one cli to the next, causing another rover to crash.
HUNK spies the cli 's edge ahead of them.]
LANCE: "WhatWIKI
VOLTRON are you doing?! You're going to kill us all!"
KEITH: "Shut up and trust me!"
[KEITH safely avoids crashing and continues ying into the desert, escaping the Garrison.]
PIDGE: "The nervous guy's Hunk. I'm Pidge. So, did anyone else from your crew make it out?"
SHIRO: "I'm not sure. I remember the mission and being captured. After that, it's just bits and
pieces."
HUNK: "Yeah, sorry to interrupt, but back to the aliens. Where are they now? Are they coming?
Are they coming for all of us? Like where are they at this very moment?"
SHIRO: "I can't really put it together. I-I remember the word "Voltron". It's some kind of weapon
they're looking for, but I don't know why. Whatever it is, I think we need to nd it before they
VOLTRON WIKI
do."
HUNK: "Well last night, I was rummaging through Pidge's stu , and I found this picture. Look
it's his girlfriend."
[HUNK shows everyone a picture of "PIDGE" and a girl. PIDGE steals the photo back.]
PIDGE: "Hey, gimme that! What were you doing in my stu ?"
HUNK: "I wa—I was looking for a candy bar. But then, I started reading his diary."
[HUNK pulls out PIDGE's diary. PIDGE steals it back.]
PIDGE: "WHAT?!"
HUNK: "And I noticed that the repeating series of numbers the aliens are searching for looks a
lot like a fraunhofer line."
KEITH: "Frown... who?"
HUNK: "It's a number describing the emission spectrum of an element, only this element
doesn't exist on Earth. I thought it might be this Voltron, and I think I can build a machine to
look for it, kinda like a Voltron Geiger Counter."
LANCE: "Hunk, you big, gassy genius!"
HUNK: "It's pretty fascinating, really. Th-The wavelength looks like this."
[HUNK pulls out a graph of the wavelength. KEITH grabs it from him.]
GALRA COMMANDER: "Lord Zarkon, the escaped prisoner and his people found the Lion. It
attacked us and is heading out of the system."
ZARKON: "Follow that Lion and alert all ships in the area to intercept. Capturing that Lion is
your rst and only priority."
GALRA COMMANDER: "Yes, your Majesty. Full power after the Lion!"
[The Galra warship pursues the Blue Lion.]
LANCE: "... All right. Guess we're all ditching class tomorrow."
[The Blue Lion enters the Wormhole and it disappears before the Galra warship can follow.]
Princess Allura
[The team groans from the turbulence of the Wormhole and exit to a di erent part of the universe.]
KEITH: "Wow."
SHIRO: "Keep your guard up."
PIDGE: "Something wrong?"
SHIRO: "My crew was captured by aliens once. I'm not going to let it happen again."
[After the team exits the Blue Lion, it stands up, startling everyone.]
HUNK: "Oh no! Oh no! I knew it was going to eat us! No!"
[The Blue Lion roars, opening the Castleship's doors. HUNK cowers behind SHIRO until the doors
nish opening.]
HUNK: "Oh, the door is open. Guess I was wrong about you."
[The eerie silence bemuses the team as they enter the vestibule.]
HUNK: "Hellooo?"
[HUNK's voice echos in the emptiness while everyone stares at him, startled. HUNK shrugs.]
PIDGE: "From the size of the Lion, I expected these steps to be bigger."
[A beam of light appears as the vestibule activates. Everyone gasps.]
HUNK: "Hello?"
LANCE: "Where are we?"
PIDGE: "It's some kind of control room."
[The console PIDGE is looking at suddenly activates and two sleep pods rise from the oor.]
ALLURA: "Father!"
[LANCE immediately catches the ALLURA in his arms. He blushes at the sight of her and dons a
suave persona.]
LANCE: "Hello."
ALLURA: "Who are you? Where am I?"
LANCE: "I'm Lance. And you're right here in my arms."
ALLURA: "Your... ears."
LANCE: "... Yeah?"
ALLURA: "They're hideous. What's wrong with them?"
LANCE: "Nothing's wrong with them! They heard exactly what you said about them!"
[ALLURA grabs LANCE by the ears and puts him in a restraining hold.]
ALLURA: "Who are you? Where is King Alfor? What are you doing in my Castle?"
LANCE: "A giant blue lion brought us here! That's all we know!"
ALLURA: "How do you have the Blue Lion? What happened to its Paladin? What are you all
doing here? Unless... How long has it been?"
SHIRO: "We don't know what you're talking about. Why don't you tell us who you are? Maybe we
canVOLTRON
help." WIKI
ALLURA: "I am Princess Allura of Planet Altea. I've got to nd out where we are and how long
we've been asleep."
[ALLURA accesses the console by placing her hands on it; a screen appears.]
CORAN: "Quiznak! You're lucky I have a case of the old "Sleep Chamber Knees". Otherwise, I'd
grab your head like this, wrap you up like so and—One, two, three—"
[CORAN imitates his ghting moves and snaps his ngers.]
ALFOR: "Zarkon!"
ZARKON: "Your eet has been destroyed, Alfor. I will be there shortly to claim Voltron."
[ZARKON ended the transmission; a Galra warship blasted the Castleship with a powerful cannon.]
ALLURA: "Father, we must form Voltron and ght before it's too late!"
VOLTRON WIKI
ALFOR: "It's already too late. We must send the Lions away. We can't risk them falling into
Zarkon's hands."
ALLURA: "We can't give up hope!"
ALFOR: "I'm sorry, daughter. If all goes well, I will see you again soon."
[KING ALFOR used a mysterious light to put ALLURA asleep.]
ALLURA: "Father...!"
ALFOR: "I love you."
[ALLURA's memories end; the scene returns to the present.]
Allura: "Planet Altea and all of the planets in our solar system have been destroyed. Coran,
Father is gone. Our entire civilization..."
[ALLURA becomes enraged.]
Allura: Zarkon!"
[SHIRO recalls ZARKON's face.]
SHIRO: "Zarkon...?"
ALLURA: "He was the King of the Galra. A vile creature and enemy to all free people."
SHIRO: "I remember now... I was his prisoner."
ALLURA: "He's still alive? Impossible!"
SHIRO: "I can't explain it, but it's true. He's searching for a super weapon called Voltron."
ALLURA: "He's searching for it because he knows it's the only thing that can defeat him, and
that's exactly why we must nd it before he does."
The Galra Empire
[At ZARKON's Central Command, HAGGAR is surrounded by glowing purple crystals and scrying for
information on a magic circle. Suddenly sensing something, HAGGAR goes to inform ZARKON.]
HAGGAR: "The Blue Lion has returned, and now I feel a resurgence of Altean energy."
ZARKON: "Alfor's daughter lives? How?"
HAGGAR: "I know not, but it is time to reclaim what is rightfully ours."
ZARKON: "Yes. I shall wipe that foul race from the universe forever and take back Voltron.
Contact my commanders."
[On a Galra warship, SENDAK is charging his prosthetic arm.]
ZARKON: "Commander Sendak, the Princess of Altea is alive and hiding in your sector. We
believe she alone holds the whereabouts of the remaining Lions. Your battle eet is the closest
to her location. Retrieve her and the Lions. With them all, the Galra Empire will be unstoppable."
SENDAK: "I ght for the Empire. I conquer in the name of Galra. No foe has ever stood in my
way and none ever will. Vrepit sa!"
[ZARKON ends the transmission.]
[On the Castleship, ALLURA stands at the Sleep Chamber console with a plate of food goo oating
nearby.]
CORAN: " Princess, you must eat. It's been 10,000 years!"
ALLURA: "I'm not hungry."
LANCE: "Man, 10,000 years? That's like one thousand plus ten."
KEITH: "That's times ten."
LANCE: "Whatever, dropout."
HUNK: "I haven't eaten since breakfast and I'm starving."
PIDGE: "Yeah, but you've thrown up, like, ve times."
HUNK: "Hmm... Good point."
[HUNK begins eating the food goo, continuing to eat although disgusted.]
SHIRO: "I can't believe your civilization created such advanced technology 10,000 years ago. It
must have been an incredible place."
CORAN: "Yes, it was... but now it is gone and we're the last Alteans alive."
[ALLURA mourns as CORAN comforts her; she hears a squeak from her sleep pod and and is
happy to nd the four Altean Mice.]
SHIRO: "Stow it, cadets! This is no time to place blame, it's time to work as a team. How long
before they arrive?"
CORAN: "At their speed? Oh, well, uh, carry the two... I'd say probably a couple of days?"
ALLURA: "Good. Let them come! By the time they get here, you ve will have reformed Voltron,
and together, we will destroy Zarkon's empire!"
[HUNK burps]
CORAN: "King Alfor connected the Lions to Allura's life force. She alone is the key to the Lions'
whereabouts."
[ALLURA activates the computer, opening up a map of the entire universe.]
ALL: "Whoa!"
PIDGE: "These are... coordinates. The Black Lion looks like it's in the same location as the Blue
Lion."
CORAN: "Look at your primitive synapses ring away in their little brain cage!"
ALLURA: "Very observant. That's because the Black Lion is in the Castle."
CORAN: "To keep the Black Lion out of Zarkon's hands, King Alfor locked it in the Castle. It can
only be freed if the other four Lions are present."
ALLURA: "As you have found, the Lions choose their pilots. 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."
[ALLURA sends the Black Lion hologram towards SHIRO.]
ALLURA: "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 moves the Green Lion's hologram towards PIDGE.]
VOLTRON WIKI
ALLURA: "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—"
LANCE: "—Whope, hold up, let me guess: Takes the most handsome slash best pilot of the
bunch?"
[LANCE smiles; ALLURA looks annoyed and then continues.]
ALLURA: "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."
[HUNK questionably points to himself.]
ALLURA: "The Red Lion is temperamental and the most di cult 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 y the Red Lion."
LANCE: "What? This guy?"
[LANCE and KEITH glare at each other.]
ALLURA: "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."
CORAN: "Don't worry, we'll nd 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."
[The hologram Lions roar and charge together, forming Voltron.]
ALLURA: "Once all the Lions are united, you will form Voltron, the most powerful warrior ever
known, the Defender of the Universe."
HUNK: "Awesome!"
PIDGE: "Oh..."
HUNK: "Wait. Okay, we're going to be in there and ying 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?"
SHIRO: "You know 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."
ALLURA: "In the meantime, I'll get this Castle's defenses ready. They'll be sorely needed."
VOLTRON WIKI
CORAN: "I'll ready a pod a-and load in the coordinates so that you can reach the Green Lion."
[The two teams take o , LANCE with HUNK in the Blue Lion, and SHIRO and PIDGE in a ight pod;
ALLURA readies herself to open a Wormhole with the Castleship's power.]
CORAN: "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. Enjoy the trip!"
PIDGE: "Wait—"
LANCE: "Wait! What? No! OK—!"
HUNK: "I did not receive the memo on this."
Retrieving The Lions
Green and Yellow
[SHIRO and PIDGE arrive at the densely-forested Green Planet and explore it using an Altean
compass.]
PIDGE: "Look!"
[PIDGE points towards a canoe with a lion carved as its bowsprit. A sloth-like alien suddenly
appears beside them and startles them; SHIRO and PIDGE yell.]
PIDGE: "I wonder if Hunk and Lance are having as good a time as us."
[Meanwhile, LANCE and HUNK are being chased by Galra ghter jets and coming under heavy re.
Both of them scream for dear life among the blaring alarms.]
HUNK and LANCE: "Oh, no! No, no, no! Oh! Oh, no!"
[The Galra gher jets
VOLTRON WIKIhit the Blue Lion with missiles, knocking it out of the sky.]
HUNK: "I thought Coran said these planets were peaceful!"
LANCE: "Maybe "peaceful" means something else in Altean!"
[LANCE prevents the Blue Lion from crashing and ies towards a Galra mine. HUNK pulls up an
Altean compass.]
HUNK: "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?"
LANCE: "Who cares? Just go get it! I'm dropping you down there."
HUNK: "Me? Down there? No. No, no, no."
LANCE: "Yes, I'll cover you!"
[LANCE dives the Blue Lion to the surface and runs it toward the mine under laser re.]
HUNK: "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!"
LANCE: "Sorry, no time for questions."
[LANCE quickly ejects HUNK and he rolls towards the mine while LANCE draws the heavy laser re
away from him. HUNK opens a mine lift's controls and starts hot-wiring them.]
HUNK: "Oh Yeah, sure, just drop me o in an alien planet. That's cool, man. It's only occupied by
mean purple aliens that want to kill me, 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."
[The Galra lift goes down into them mine.]
LANCE: "HUNK!"
[SHIRO and PIDGE are still riding along peacefully in the canoe, but PIDGE begins to have doubts.]
PIDGE: "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 ghter manuals, but never got to y the simulator.
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?!"
SHIRO: "You're rambling. 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 and SHIRO and PIDGE
approach the steps; the lion carvings glow from PIDGE's presence.]
PIDGE: "Whoo-hoo-hoo!"
[The Green Lion nally breaks free from its tomb. LANCE is ghting the Galra ghter jets on the
planetoid.]
LANCE: "Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Going down! We're going down!"
[The Blue Lion crash lands and struggles to stand. As the Galra ghter jets lock on and re their
missiles, LANCE braces for impact.]
ALLURA: "Paladins, please hurry back! I can't hold the Wormhole much longer!"
LANCE: "Let's get out of here!"
[The two Lions y towards the Wormhole, although the Yellow Lion starts twirling towards it after
getting hit by one of the Galra ghter jets. HUNK feels ill.]
King Alfor
[LANCE and HUNK groand as they enter the Bridge of the Castle of Lions where everyone waits.]
VOLTRON WIKI
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 con scate the Lions. Turn them over
to me, or I will destroy your planet."
[The transmission ends.]
PIDGE: "We can't just abandon Arus. The Galra will keep destroying planets and capturing
prisoners until we stop them."
HUNK: "Okay. If we run, then maybe Sendak will follow us and leave this planet alone, like when
we left Earth. We form the snake-worm thingamajig and we—hisss out of here."
KEITH: "Sendak could destroy the planet then come after us anyway. Staying is our only
option."
LANCE: "Here's an option: shut your Quiznak."
KEITH: "I don'tWIKI
VOLTRON think you're using that word correctly."
LANCE: "What do you know, Mullet?"
KEITH: "We're staying."
LANCE: "Leaving!"
PIDGE: "Staying!"
HUNK: "Snake!"
SHIRO: "Guys, stop! 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?"
ALLURA: "I... I-I don't know."
CORAN: "Perhaps your father can help."
ALLURA: "My father?"
[CORAN takes ALLURA to the Castle's Memory Chamber.]
ALLURA: "You ve Paladins were brought here for a reason. The Voltron Lions are meant to be
VOLTRON WIKI
piloted by you and you alone. We must ght and keep ghting until we defeat Zarkon. It is our
destiny. Voltron is the universe's only hope. We are the universe's only hope."
SHIRO: "We're with you, Princess."
[ALLURA brings the Paladins to the armory holding the Paladin armor. Everyone is hyped.]
ALLURA: "The Bayard is the traditional weapon of the Paladins of Voltron. It takes a distinct
shape for each Paladin."
[The Paladins recieve their Bayards. PIDGE's becomes a small grappling hook with a knife head.]
ALLURA: "You'll need to retrieve the Red Lion from Sendak's ship."
KEITH: "That's a.. pretty big ship. How are we gonna know where the Red Lion is?"
PIDGE: "Oh, it's not a matter of 'we'. It's a matter of 'you'."
HUNK: "Pidge is right. Once we get you in, you'll be able to feel its presence and track it down."
LANCE: "Yeah. You know how you felt that crazy energy while we were in the desert?"
VOLTRON WIKI
KEITH: "Yeah. You made fun of me for that."
LANCE: "And I'm proud of that, but turns out it's exactly like that mumbo-jumbo."
ALLURA: "Keith, remember, the Red Lion is extremely temperamental. You'll have to earn its
respect."
SHIRO: "All right. Here's our plan of attack."
[SHIRO narrates their plan as it proceeds.]
SHIRO: "The Galra Empire knows about the Blue and Yellow Lion, but they don't know we have
the Green Lion, too. Hunk, Lance, you'll act as a decoy by pretending to give yourselves up."
[LANCE and HUNK approach the Galra warship with the Blue Lion and Yellow Lion. PIDGE ies to
the underside of the warship with the Green Lion undetected. LANCE sends SENDAK a
transmission.]
LANCE: "Attention, Galra ship. Do not re. We're surrendering our Lions."
[The transmission ends.]
LANCE: "Hunk, you dismantle the ion cannon while I take these jerks on a space ride!"
HUNK: "Ten-four!"
VOLTRON WIKI
[Inside the Galra warship, SHIRO has an unnerving ashback.]
SHIRO: "I've been here before. After I was taken by the Galra cruiser o Kerberos, they brought
us here."
PIDGE: "So, that means your other crewmembers, they might be held captive here. We... We've
got to rescue them."
SHIRO: "Pidge, we don't have time. We have to get the Red Lion and get back to Arus."
PIDGE: "But we can't just leave prisoners here!"
SHIRO: "Look, no one understands that more than me, but, in war, we have to make hard
choices. Now, let's get moving."
PIDGE: "No! Commander Holt is my father. He and my brother were the ones on the Kerberos
Mission with you."
SHIRO: "Commander Holt is your father?"
PIDGE: "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!"
SHIRO: "I'm coming with you."
KEITH: "What?"
SHIRO: "I remember where the prisoners are held. Keith, you go nd the Red Lion."
KEITH: "By myself?"
SHIRO: "Minor change of plans. You'll be ne. Just remember, patience yields focus."
[A door opens nearby.]
SHIRO: "So—Run!"
[The three part ways, SHIRO gong with PIDGE. KEITH runs along a corridor and stops at an
intersecting corridor.]
VOLTRON WIKI
CORAN: "Is that what's supposed to happen?"
[ALLURA and CORAN look inside the Castleship's systems through a small hole.]
KEITH: "Gotcha!"
[KEITH runs o to claim the Lion. SHIRO and PIDGE come across a Galra drone. PIDGE res a beam
from the Green Paladin armor before it can react.]
PIDGE: "Now, I'll just reset the controls... and it's working for us! I'm going to call you "Rover."
Follow me!"
[ROVER follows obediently. SHIRO leads PIDGE to the prisoners' cell and PIDGE orders ROVER to
assist.]
LANCE: "Whoa-ho-ho! Yeah, buddy! This is way more fun without Hunk's bar ng!"
[KEITH approaches the Red Lion in the hangar on SENDAK's warship.]
KEITH: "It's me. Keith. Your buddy. It's me! Keeeeeeiiiiith, your—I. AM. YOUR. PALADIN!"
[Nothing happens; KEITH knocks on the force eld. Galra sentries appear and re laser guns. KEITH
blocks them with his armor's shield.]
KEITH: "I'm bonding with you! Hey! Come on! We're connected!"
[The Red Lion does not react. KEITH summons his Bayard as a katar and ghts the sentries.]
PIDGE: "Hurry!"
SENTRY: "Halt!"
[The sentries suround them. SHIRO's prosthetic arm painfully activates, glowing. The sound around
SHIRO is distorted.]
VOLTRON WIKI
PIDGE: "Shiro? Shiro, what's wrong?!"
[SHIRO 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.]
[In the Castle of Lions, the four claimed Lions activate the door securing the Black Lion as SHIRO
stands before it. They all roar to show SHIRO is the new Black Paladin. CORAN cheers and ALLURA
is relieved. The Castleship's alarms blare to alert them SENDAK's warship is approaching.]
SHIRO: "Listen up, Team Voltron! The only way to succeed is to give it all you've got! This looks
bad, but we can do this! Are you with me?"
[LANCE, HUNK, PIDGE, and KEITH all nod silently.]
PIDGE: "This is insane! Can't they just cease re for one minute so we can gure this out? Is
that too much to ask?"
[Pidge loses temper and attacks the ghter jets, destroying two. KEITH res the Red Lion's tail
cannon to destroy two more.]
VOLTRON WIKI
SENDAK: "Voltron!"
KEITH: "I can't believe it!"
PIDGE: "We formed Voltron!"
HUNK: "I'm a leg!"
LANCE: "How are we doing this?"
SHIRO: "I don't know, but let's get that cannon!"
[While Voltron destroys the warship, SENDAK and HAXUS ee. ALLURA and CORAN meet the
exhausted Paladins in front of the Castle of Lions.]
SHIRO: "We're not going to stop searching until we nd your brother and father. Wherever they
are, I know they'd be proud of you."
[PIDGE smiles.]
ALLURA: "We won the battle, but the war has only just begun. I'm afraid Zarkon will not stop
until he gets these Lions."
CORAN: "Good thing you Paladins know what you're doing, because you're going to have to
form Voltron again and again."
HUNK: "Totally—Wait, what?"
LANCE: "We barely survived forming Voltron this one time."
CORAN: "And you only had to ght one ship. Wait until you have to ght a whole eet of them!
It's not going to be easy being the Defenders of the Universe."
[The Paladins appear surprised at the title; they look at their Lions.]
SHIRO: "Defenders of the Universe, huh? That's got a nice ring to it."
[Episode ends with everyone smiling at the Lions.]
