Voltron Force (2011) s01e05 Episode Script

Boring.
Thanks for your very constructive input, Daniel.
Now, as we can see here, the blue glow was especially active when our dashes fizzled out.
It appears to be a new form of dark energy that weakens the power of the lions.
Whatever it is, I'd love to get my hands on it to run some tests.
Cool! So, instead of sitting around here and talking about it, why don't we just go to planet Doom and do something about it? Because we aren't ready yet.
And, perhaps if you cadets would pay attention, you might learn a thing or two about battle strategy.
Oh, but that's just it We want to learn, but this battle strategy is so abstract.
Maybe it would make more sense to our rookie brains if you gave us solo time in the lions.
Solo time? You're lucky your rears have even touched our pilot seats at all.
But what about all the learning we're missing out on now? Well, if you really want to learn so badly, you can spend the rest of the day studying your galaxy navigation charts.
Wait! Uh did I say "learn?" Consider yourself schooled.
All right, so here 's the route from Arus to planet Doom and here's the route continuing straight to planet way-to-go-snartface.
All right.
I deserve that But someone had to say it.
We're being treated like kids.
We don't go on any missions, and all we do is study theories instead of getting hands-on training.
We should be out there learning to fly the lions before we learn where we can go in them! You guys know I don't care about piloting the lions But I care about studying navigation even less.
Leave the keys to me.
I'm taking black.
Larmina, blue? I've been feeling a bond with green.
Done and done.
Sorry, buddy.
Looks like Pidge has the green key right now.
Hope you can control the heat red's packin'.
Let's go.
Whoo-hoo! Evil is back.
The Drule King Lotor has returned with a dark energy that can destroy the galaxy.
Our only hope The Voltron Force A team of five heroic pilots that control five awesome robot lions.
When Lotor's monstrous Robeasts attack, the lions come together to form Voltron, defender of the universe! - addic7ed.
C0m - so what now? Tag! Hey! Whoo-hoo! I'd say this is much more productive And educational.
As long as we have the lions out, we should do something that reminds the other guys to respect us, to let them know we're ready for anything.
I feel like you already have something in mind.
We did just learn the way to planet Doom, so it would almost be a wasted learning experience not to go there and find that dark energy sample for Pidge.
Whaddya say? Actually I guess, at this point I can't believe you two idiots were "chosen by destiny.
" I hope you're right about this, Daniel.
Trust me.
They're gonna throw us a parade after we pull this off.
Let's set 'em down in that canyon.
We don't want Lotor to see us coming.
The Voltron Force? Here? I swear to you, if they eradicate me one more time Maahox, m My body what's Ahh! What is this? Clearly, Lotor, my King, it would seem the Haggarium used to bring you back to life has some Side effects.
What does it feel like? It feels like I'm ready for the Voltron Force.
How do we get in? There.
I'll crush them, Maahox! With my bare hands, I'll crush them all.
I wouldn't advise acting too rashly, my Lord.
Haggarium is remarkably unstable.
Until you understand your limitations, its effects are entirely unpredictable.
Don't lecture me about limitations.
We have intruders on my planet and I intend to deal with them.
Well, you need not worry about haste.
I've already sent the concierge to greet our guests.
Wow.
We are really high up.
Just have to get up there, then, it's a simple four-foot jump to the castle.
Five-foot.
Maybe 8.
Or 12? Are we moving? Whoa! I gotcha! Get on the inside! I think we're coming down.
It's that blue glow again! My power is limitless.
This is the end of Voltron, and the rise of the Drule empire! Get up! We've got to get out of here.
Children.
Children, Maahox! They send children to fight me now? How very interesting.
Just the three of them? Yes.
They were wearing these Even more interesting.
Oh, you'll be pleased to know that we found the same number of lions in shadow moon canyon, beyond the castle.
All three are being towed here as we speak.
Now, the question is, who are you And what are you doing here? If we have three of the lions Commander, ready the ground troops.
We depart for Arus at once.
The trip there should be just enough time for me to recuperate.
Nice.
Let's run it again.
Well, it's nice to see you two holding hands.
Well played, Sir.
And how may we help you, madame? I was wondering if you guys have seen the cadets? I can't find them anywhere.
Attention! We are on red alert! Red alert.
Pidge, what is it? Sensors just detected a huge fleet of Drule ships approaching.
Then there's no time to waste.
Scramble the lions! That would be problem "B".
We're three lions short.
What do you mean, "we're three lions short?" How is that possible? Daniel.
That's how.
Your antics are getting less and less cute, my man.
How adorable.
Three junior members of the Voltron Force have come to visit planet Doom.
Do you feel like telling your Uncle Maahox what you planned to do here? Let's just have a look at your toys, shall we? Ooh! These are fancy toys, aren't they? Based off the same mystical technology that powers Voltron.
Let's see what happens when they're exposed to some Haggarium.
Intriguing That's a very unique spectral signature.
I wonder, my new friend, what makes you so powerful? Lotor's got four squads of infantry, and at least two dozen heavy machines I haven't seen before.
But where's the Robeast? I'm not seeing a Robeast on the any of these readings.
Hunk, Pidge, take your lions, and see what kind of damage you can do.
Lance and I will have to fight on foot with our Voltcoms.
Allura, man the castle's defenses.
If Lotor doesn't have a Robeast, we might be able to pull this off.
We're ready, Sir.
Would you like to lead the charge? No.
Take your men and decimate their defenses.
If you see any lions, keep them busy until I return.
I'm going to claim a prize I've been after for years.
Let's do this.
I'm feelin' frisky.
This might be a little painful.
This is all my fault.
We've got to get out of here.
You so wish you were ninja like me.
Does it really feel like an appropriate time to gloat? Yup.
Just you and me, little buddy.
Uh-oh.
Careful out there, Hunk! These things are packing some punch! Too late for the heads-up! Trying to avoid the heads off! If I could break this Thanks, princess.
Bang.
I was wondering when you were gonna stop showing off with your fists and start showing off with your guns.
I'm here to entertain.
Behind you! Thanks.
All right, everybody, keep it up! We're pushing them back! Focus on driving the tanks toward the lions.
Roger that.
Hello, princess.
Inconceivable! Your biology has traces of the energies that power these devices the energies that power Voltron, which means You must be one of them.
I thought they disappeared from the galaxy long ago, but here you are.
One of who? You have a whole host of secrets to unlock, my little Voltron lab-rat.
But don't worry.
You'll pass out long before we get to the really painful tests.
What about my friends? It might be fun to turn them into Robeasts and send them to Arus.
Can you imagine the look on the Voltron Force's faces when they realize they have to fight their own proteges? Now where were we? We were at the part where you finally stop talking.
Let's get out of here.
Did I mention this escape might be painful? Where's our back-up? The castle's cannons have gone dark! Sweet princess, this would be a lot easier if you would just stay still.
Yeah.
Wouldn't it? Whoa! Hyah! Get used to it.
This is the form of your new King! Pretty heavily guarded.
Pfft! By them? Is that Lotor? Load her onto my ship.
Keith? Lance? Fighting hand-to-hand? Where are your lions? Oh, that's right! I'm having them destroyed as we speak! You guys need some help? Ah! A challenge! He's charged up with that dark energy.
My lion is down.
I'm here, little buddy.
Looks like it's down to you and me, yellow.
Here, kitty-kitty.
It's the cadets! Lance, I'm sorry.
It's all my Later.
Get your tails down here to pick up me and Keith.
-Move over! -Move over! Where's Allura? She's on a shuttle headed to Lotor's flagship.
I'll intercept.
Even I'm impressed.
Uh rescue mission not going as planned.
I'm on it! Princess, you can paw at me all you want.
I know All present and accounted for.
Welcome back, princess.
Activate interlocks.
Dyno-therms, connected.
Infra-cells, up! Mega thrusters are go! Let's go, Voltron Force.
Form feet and legs! Form arms and body! And I'll form the head! Ah The whole force has reunited and formed your precious Voltron For me.
How kind of you.
I've always dreamt of this day The day no Robeast fights Voltron The day I destroy you with my own hands! All right, I'm gonna stomp him now.
What? He I don't know! No! -This can't be happening! -What? And for my next trick Your turn, red.
We have to get out of here, Vince! Uh, Vince? What? No no! Lance, what's happening? Um Lance, talk to us! Um did you guys know that Vince glows? What? I'm forming the head? I'm forming the head! Ahh! No! I'm too close! Lance, is Vince okay? I think so.
He's breathing, but he's out cold.
Okay! Let's see what this baby can do! What are you waiting for? Attack him! Form blazing guns? Not gonna lie to you, guys This is really cool! You'll never defeat me! Today is the rise of the Drule empire.
Today is the day I Awesome! We did it! Uh, mainly you, though.
I'm really sorry.
I just wanted to be treated like one of you, not a kid.
Daniel, you are one of us.
We can't have you going off like you did.
Would it make you slightly less mad if I told you the mission was a success? Oh, this was a "mission," now? Is that? They call it "Haggarium.
" Destroy Voltron! Welcome back, King Lotor Again.
Maahox! Where what's happening? They didn't! Mm-hmm.
They'll pay! I swear to you, I'll make them pay! I need more Haggarium! I need to be stronger! Unfortunately, my Lord, I used what we had left to re-reanimate you.
Pity, because I had such big plans to incorporate the fascinating technology from those marvelous toys into your Haggarium armor Well, then we'll just have to get more A lot more, and I will control it all.
We'll figure out how to control your power, and Lotor's defeat can't be far behind.
Just as soon as we find out what his power is.
Until then, I think Lance has a job for all of you.
Latrine duty? No way, bud.
This is a much more adult punishment.
And you get to spend time alone with the lions! It's everything you asked for, Danny-boy.
How does it feel? Great.
