02x01 - Across the Universe

[bunniefuu]

- What just happened?
- Who cares? Wormhole!

Coran, what's happening?

The integrity of the wormhole
has been compromised.

- It's breaking down!
- What does that mean?

It means we have no control
over where we're headed!

Keith! Shiro!

They've vanished
through the temporal rift!

The lions are gone!

...Come on, come on, come on!

You okay, Red?

Okay. We'll fix you up.
We had a tough battle.

Where are we? Where have we landed?

Shiro.

Shiro!

...Whoa!

Huh? What's the matter, girl?

Okay, rest a bit. I'll see what I can do.

Looks like there's no gravity here.
It's like a trash nebula of some kind.

Okay, Pidge, stay calm. You know what
they say. "When you get lost in space",

the best thing to do is stay put
and wait for people to find you."

This'll be nice.
I'll have some "me" time.

No one to annoy me.

Let's check
the Rift Exit Positioning Monitor

to see where this wormhole is taking us.

Coran, look! There appears to be
something on the other end.

- We're heading right toward it!
- Scanners show that there's no exit.

It's just nothingness. Find an exit
before we run smack into the void!

I can't. I've lost control of the Castle.

Brace yourself! We're about to hit it!

Let's check
the Rift Exit Positioning Monitor

to see where this wormhole is taking us.

- Coran, we're okay!
- What are you talking about?

We've lost all the lions!

We've just smashed into a black void.
Don't you remember? Hmm?

What happened to the mice?
They've transformed.

- Coran?
- Why are you looking at me like that?

Do I have a boogie stuck
in my mustache again?

No. You look younger.

Scanners show that there's no exit.
It's just nothingness!

You said that already!

Find an exit before we run
smack into the void!

I'm entering coordinates
to get us out of here.

The Castle won't accept an end point.

- Just enter any coordinates!
- I tried, but the system is locked.

I can't get a signal out
or receive a signal in.

Allura!

Let's check
the Rift Exit Positioning Monitor

to see where this wormhole is taking us.

Oh, no! You're even younger now!

What's the matter?
You look confused.

Don't worry, Princess,
I'll get us out of here.

We appear to be
in some sort of time loop

that's affecting everyone but me.

Scanners show
that there's no exit. It's just...

Nothingness, I know.
And we can't find another exit point.

Don't just stand there. We've got to find
a way. I'll never give in to nothingness!

Keith, are you there? Keith?

I've got to get to higher ground.

Shiro, can you hear me?

Shiro?

Shiro, are you there?

Shiro, are you there? Answer me!

Keith. I'm here.

Keith.

...Shiro, it's Keith.

Keith. Keith, I'm here. I'm okay.

Shiro, you made it.

It takes more than a glowing alien wound,

a fall from the upper atmosphere,
and crashing into a hard pan surface,

at what I'm guessing is about 25 meters
per second squared, to get rid of me.

- How are you?
- Not good. My lion's busted.

Wait, what wound?

It's nothing.

Hang on, I'm coming.

On second thought,
you'd better hurry.

Who's there?

Hmm? Aw! Hey, little guys!

Aw, you guys are so cute.
Too cute to be found in a dump like this.

Are you guys the only ones living here?

I hope my rough landing
didn't disturb your day.

I'll only be here for a short time.
I'm waiting for my friends to find me.

We were separated
during a wormhole jump.

Yeah, friends!

I sure hope they find me soon.

Let's check
the Rift Exit Positioning Monitor

to see where this wormhole is taking us.

This is so boring.

Coran, please! I don't need
any of your attitude right now.

You don't understand me at all!
You have no idea what I'm going through!

I'll be in my control area! Hmmph!

I can't manually enter coordinates.

But the Castle will automatically
lock on to the lions' whereabouts,

if we can locate them.

It's not working! I'm unable
to hone in on their location.

Coran, turn that down!
Our lives are at stake!

I can only express myself through music!

Coran, if you don't turn that down,
I swear I'll turn this Castle around and...

And what? We're just gonna run
into this void that's coming up here.

I hate everybody!

Let's check
the Rift Exit Positioning Monitor

to see where this wormhole is taking us,

whatever that means.

We've tried everything
and nothing's worked.

A few more trips down this wormhole
and you're going to disappear.

- We must find a way out.
- Just blast your way out! Duh!

I suppose it's worth a try.

The Castle defenses might have
enough firepower to destroy the tunnel.

Yeah! And it'll go ker-plooey!

It's not working!
It's like we're sh**ting at ourselves.

Where's Voltron?

- Shiro, what happened?
- There's several creatures.

Huh?

Uh-oh.

Keith, are you okay?
What happened?

Minor delay,
but I'm on my way. How are you?

I'm all right, but I'm trapped in a cave,

and some nasty-looking creatures
have me cornered.

Stay put. I'm on my way.

I just have to... figure this out.

"My name is Keith. I'm so emo."

"Shiro, you're our leader.
What should we do?"

"We'll get through this
if we work together. We're a team."

"Look at me! I'm Lance.
Hey, is that a cute girl over there?"

"I don't feel good. The smell
of this place makes me want to barf."

"Paladins, please.
We must defeat Zarkon."

"Blah, blah, blah!
Crazy words. Mustache."

- Huh?

What is it?

Hey, you're working again!
Welcome back!

No, it's not my friends.
It's just an old, rusty satellite.

Hey! Maybe I can find my friends
before they find me.

Patience yields focus.

That really stayed with you, didn't it?

You've given me some good advice.

If it wasn't for you,
my life would have been a lot different.

Yeah. You wouldn't have crashed
a flying lion on an alien planet

and be stuck with little hope of rescue.

So, you're welcome.

Stay with me, Shiro.

Keith! Keith!

Hang on. I'm on my way.

Good, because these guys
just started digging.

Shiro, I have a visual on the Black Lion.

Shiro, what happened?

Let's check the Rift Exit Positioning
Monitor to see where this worm goes.

...I hungry.

Coran, no! That is not a toy.

You're going to break the Castle
and everything will stop! Wait a second.

Perhaps we can simply stop
the Castle from moving.

No! Mine!

I've shut down all the power.
Why are we still moving towards the void?

My control panel!

...I know, I know.

Who wants to check
the Rift Exit Positioning Monitor

to see where this wormhole is taking us?

- You do, that's who.

We have to get out of this loop

before the only thing left of you
is your mustache.

Poopies.

I know I'm not Shiro, but he's in trouble.
We need to help him.

That ought to do it.

Now, let's see if we can
get a hold of the Castle.

No, no! What's wrong? I need to get
out of here! I need to find my friends!

Come on!

Thanks. Now, let's see
if this thing works.

I hope the signal's strong enough
to reach the Castle.

Coran, what are we going to do?

If we hit the end of the tunnel again,
you'll cease to exist.

I'm sorry. You were like
a second father to me.

Coran, look! The Castle has locked
onto a coordinate. Come on. Come on!

We made it!

Mm?

Mom?

You saved us, Pidge.
We were stuck in a time loop.

You got us out with this giant trash pile.

It's a make-shift communications link
that sends out the Green Lion energy.

It's similar to the energy that guided
the Blue Lion home.

Pidge, you're a genius!

I know. Besides, it wasn't just me.
They helped.

- Hmm...
- Let's go get the rest of the paladins.

Thanks for saving me.

You'd have done the same for me.
How's your wound?

My wound's great.
It's getting bigger all the time.

Just trying to lighten the mood.

Hang in there. When Allura and Coran
find us, they'll fix you right up.

Keith, if I don't make it out of here...

I want you to lead Voltron.

Stop talking like that.
You're gonna make it.

Huh?

Explain to me
how you let Voltron escape.

Perhaps it was a mechanical failure, sire.

Haggar boosted the solar barrier's power
beyond its normal limits.

This was no mechanical failure.

The two sentries that were guarding
the barrier control were found destroyed.

This was clearly sabotage.

Lord Zarkon, I will start
an investigation immediately.

I will not rest
until the perpetrators are captured.

Perhaps I can save
months of investigating.

Who has been trying to chisel Voltron
away from me this entire time?

Who sent his fleet out
without my orders to get Voltron?

Sire, no!

I-I would never do that.

- Get rid of him.
- No! I'm innocent!

Before we dispose of him, the druids
will find out all that he knows.

Then, he will receive a punishment
worse than death.

Lieutenant Thace...

You are now in charge
of the investigation...

Commander.

Vrepit sa.
