Voltron Force (2011) s01e03 Episode Script
Defenders of the Universe
My dear members of the galaxy alliance council, by reactivating the lions, the Voltron Force has shown a clear disregard for your authority.
After all, it was you who voted to decommission that unpredictable and destructive weapon.
I move we take all members of the Voltron Force into custody and immediately destroy the lions! Sky Marshal Wade, I protest.
You've been dismissing our evidence of a growing evil threat in our galaxy as rumour, but these rumours manifested themselves as a frightening reality when that Robeast attacked my home planet of Arus.
Voltron is needed now more than ever.
I see you have been busy in my absence.
Our dear Kala was able to train your soldiers, but they will only follow you into battle, my Lord.
Yes.
Loyalty is a powerful weapon.
True, but fear is the most powerful weapon of all.
And easily spread You witnessed its devastating terror with your own eyes.
Voltron is an outdated, dangerous force.
My expensive new defence system, which you funded, is far superior! This is a new era.
Meet the future.
Once they see what we can do, the galaxy will be in a state of panic.
It will be ours for the taking.
We'll show them something they'll never forget You, along with the rest of the world, are about to witness Voltron's destruction! - addic7ed.
Com - how is it? Definitely broken And definitely better when no one's touching it Sorry.
Ahem.
We all knew something was brewing on planet Doom, but a Robeast suggests bigger than we thought.
Then there's Wade.
We can handle Wade.
It's the Drule threat we need to worry about.
We should organize a recon mission I disagree.
Now that we've recovered all the lions, we'll regroup and wait to Whoa, whoa.
Just because you've been back for five minutes doesn't mean you're suddenly in charge.
I'm not saying I am, but you're being reckless.
- We need to - Oh, here we go with the reckless talk again Boys, boys.
I think the one thing we can all agree on is that we need to work as a team.
That's where we've always found our strength.
Good.
Now, we also need to figure out how our new cadets factor into our team.
They can't possibly be ready for something like this.
You may remember, not too long ago, when the same was said of another group of inexperienced young hooligans? Just as destiny once called upon you to save Arus, it has brought these cadets to us.
- And where are our new heroes now? - Studying Arusian history until we figure out their situation.
Then why are their Voltcoms missing from the charging station? Come on, Daniel.
Team mischief isn't any fun if you're just gonna Whoa! What? I'm not allowed to get the hang of my Voltcom just because yours is busted? Yeah I wish Pidge would fix mine already, or at least let me have a crack at it.
I'm weaponless.
Do you think we should Of course we should.
Cool! These look like royal tombs.
We must be in some sort of catacomb.
Mwa-ha-ha-ha! Vince? Vince? King Alfor? Hey, buddy.
I'm starting to think maybe we shouldn't be down here Who dares to trespass on these hallowed grounds? How dare you breathe your earthling breath in this place of Arusian royalty.
Now you'll pay with your Pride, dignity.
Larmina?! You should see your dweeb faces.
I totally knew it was you.
Look, I respect your attempt at mischief, but we're a team now, so I want in! Though the tombs of my elders are not a place to goof off.
You want to find some cool passages? Follow someone who grew up here.
Tell me you don't think she's cool.
It's good to see you two working together on something.
This doesn't mean our debate over a mission to planet Doom is over.
Oh, I believe it does.
You have committed crimes against the galaxy alliance, crimes punishable by Whatever I want.
I suggest you come quietly.
And why would we do that? So I don't hurt your friend Don't listen to him Excellent.
Now, where are tech sergeants Pidge and Hunk? You know we're not going to tell you, so let's just get to the part where you start to hit us.
I was hoping you'd say that.
Aah! Well, that's the last of the heavy lifting.
He's back in one piece.
Yeah, he looks great, but he's still entirely inoperative.
I can't believe how much damage the programming sustained from Wade's research And that crash landing.
Ugh, this is going to take a while.
Well, I don't know how long you have.
Wade's here! Well, sort of He's got Keith, Lance, and Allura.
I'll go with these guys to free the our pals while you keep at the lion.
And since my Voltcom is busted, I'll stay here and help Pidge.
Um, you know your aunt's a hostage, right? Yeah, and we're going to rescue her! You have no idea how slow things were around here before you guys showed up.
Yeah, but now they're definitely picking up speed A broken lion, a hostile takeover, and a rescue operation with a fugitive.
Could this get any more intense? I want Pidge and Hunk's location.
I want all five lions.
I want their keys.
And I want them now.
You're an only child, aren't you? Lance, stop! Yes, maybe if we involve her, you'll take this a bit more seriously.
Let's try this again.
Where are Pidge and Hunk? Time to try my stealthy speed in action.
Or not Wade, why are you doing this? You know there's a real threat out there.
We want the same thing The safety of the alliance.
The alliance? I don't care about the alliance.
I care about power, money, and as long as Voltron is out there, my profit margin is unacceptable.
Now, where are Pidge and Hunk? I'm right - What? - Here! This speed thing is going to come in handy at some point, right? Larmina, look out! That was pretty handy.
The Drule army? What are they doing here? We've been warning you about this.
Shut up, old man.
Please, Wade.
I beg of you.
Let Voltron help defend our planet.
I don't need Voltron or your planet! My people! He's back.
What are the alliance forces doing here? You're still too weak, my Lord.
The alliance presence is unexpected, but of no concern.
It's why I suggested we bring your loyal troops, for any Contingencies.
I didn't want anything to interfere with our main event, once I taunted the kitties to come out and play.
Well, then Release the Catnip.
We need Voltron! Yeah, but how? Pidge is still having problems with the black lion, and Lance can't fly with one arm.
This is about to get much worse.
Man, did Wade ever mess this thing up! It looks like he tried to dissect this guy to figure out its technology.
Exactly.
But even if he understood all of the mechanics and programming, Voltron is bigger than those simple things.
It involves Magic? Something like that.
We need to get to the lions The black lion's still out of commission, so I'll make myself useful on the battlefield.
Keith, wait.
You're part of our I've been fighting on my own for a long time now.
I'm used to it.
He'll be okay all right, you guys need to tell Pidge to drop what he's doing and get to the green lion.
As for the red, I have an idea.
What about Larmina? She's a tough girl.
I'm sure she's fine.
Don't worry, you'll be all right.
You have some pretty impressive moves, cadet.
Commander Keith.
Wade, please.
Arus is being destroyed by your detached, soulless machines! What is going on over there? Pidge, we got a Robeast.
I'll meet you in the canyon.
Hey, Pidge, what should I What's wrong with you? Oh-aah! Ahh, please stop enjoying this so much.
Now, ease that thruster.
Daniel, this isn't a race.
We don't know what we're dealing with.
Well, we'll be the first to find out Nice, hotshot.
Little help here? What's causing this? That.
That's messed up.
Let's go for its underside It should be weaker.
No, wait! I take it you understand a bit more than we do, little buddy.
Yeah, it's the Haggarium.
It's like anti-matter to the mystic power behind Voltron.
Their lions will be weakened by our Robeast's mere presence, and Kala seems to be taking quite well to her new form.
Is that a Robeast the lions are fighting? That's perfect.
Now I'll get to destroy them both with my special side project.
This isn't a game, Wade! You're right.
It's more of a riddle.
What's the only thing that preys on lions? Okay, I'll tell you.
A bigger lion.
Aah! Whoa, thanks.
Whoa-aah! We're loose.
Fire her up! We can slip away in the castle, follow me! What a wonderful mess this is turning into The Earthlings and the Arusians are destroying each other.
I hope the rest of the galaxy is a bit more of a challenge.
What's that thing doing, Pidge? The spider seems to be cocooning itself of Wade's lion That was a good thing, right? Come on.
We'd better go help the others.
Should we poke it? No! What is this nonsense? A nap? Patience.
They're getting a chance to regroup.
They'll need it.
Okay, poke it.
Aw, snart.
Yeah um, let's Run! Guys! Guys! Uh, Vince, we're all a little busy right now, - so unless you're calling to say - The black lion's working! That.
Keith, we could use you.
How quick can you get the castle? Not quick at all.
But we're not far from you.
Vince, can you fly the black lion to the battle site? Uh I I don't know if I I think I can handle evasion.
Vince, I'll be right there.
Hurry! I'll be fast Really fast! That seems handy.
Let's hope it's not too late Quick! They won't break! We forgot about a minor detail Your Voltcoms won't work against it.
What are we supposed to do, throw rocks at it? Huh? Get in! Hold on.
How can it? I don't know.
We've need to form Voltron! It's time.
Form feet and legs.
Form arms and body.
And I'll form the Head! Let's go kick some abdomen.
Where is it? Hey, Keith, why don't we do some landscaping so we can see in here? Good idea.
Form blazing sword.
It's not working.
It must be all these webs.
They're weakening Voltron.
Then let's do it the old-fashioned way.
I don't know how much more of this we can take! Pack some more in your punch.
I'm trying, but they seem weak! Even though we're all working together, it seems like the black lion is the only one not experiencing the effects of the Robeast's power.
Not the most noble move, but pretty effective.
We're being ripped apart! Fight it.
Come on! We can This thing's gonna eat us alive! Vince? Vince! Vince! Form blazing sword! Maahox, your ineptitude has made a mockery of my return.
You will pay.
Guess they didn't want their turn.
You all right, man? What was that? I I don't really know.
That stuff is super unstable! We need to get it off of Arus! Hopefully now galaxy alliance Rule will return to a just hand.
There is a new and powerful evil in the galaxy that we don't yet understand, but there is a new and powerful addition to our team that we are still learning about as well.
You are all here for a reason To use your unique skills, to play your part in Voltron's legacy.
The future will be full of surprises
