02x11 - Stayin' Alive

[bunniefuu]

All right then,
what's the next one?

Two words.

Second word.

Waves?

So I'm close.

Ocean? Splash? Drink? Water?

Water!

All right then. First word.

That's a Bytor!

Bytor water!

Yes!

Hunk was right.

These Earth road trip games
do help pass the time.

How are you, Princess?
Are you almost at the Balmera?

I'm scheduled to arrive
in just a few doboshes.

I hope I'm able to find a crystal
big enough for the teludav.

Have you heard from the other Paladins?

I had contact with Lance,
Shiro and Pidge a little bit ago.

They've located Slav.

- What about Hunk and... and Keith?
- No word from them yet.

I have no doubt my scientifically
accurate instructional video

was of great help.

I'm sure it was.

If they collect enough scaultrite
for the lenses,

will your teludav structure be complete?

It's nearly done.

The Olkari and I
have been working on it day and night.

It will be ready in time.

Oh, I hope so.

What's going on, Princess?
You sound worried.

I was thinking of my father.

He gave his life to try to keep Voltron
out of Zarkon's hands

and now we have a chance to defeat him.

I... I don't want to fail.

You know...

Princess,
your father would be proud of you.

It wasn't that long ago we found out
Altea had been destroyed.

- I've never felt so alone.
- Nor have I.

And we could have easily given up.
But we didn't.

You didn't. And now look at us.

We reformed Voltron.

We freed the Olkari and the Balmerans,
and now they're working alongside us.

You're right, Coran. We have allies.

And that's what's going to defeat Zarkon.

Crack a squizzle on the Balmera, Princess.

Thank you, Coran.

The Balmera welcomes your return,
Princess Allura.

Princess, did Hunk accompany you?

I'm sorry, Shay, but I've come alone.

The others are on missions of their own,

collecting important elements
that we need to defeat Zarkon.

Defeat Zarkon? How can we help?

The Balmera and its people
can never thank you enough

for all that you've done.

If the Balmera will give it,
I need a crystal.

Battleship class?

Bigger.

- Haggar.
- What is it?

We found further evidence
of the spy within our fleet.

This encrypted chip was in the outbound
quantum entanglement chain.

Put the chip back,
and wait to see who retrieves it.

Incredible.

When the Galra were here,
these caverns were closed off.

As if the Balmera was protecting itself.

Now that the Balmera is free and healed,
the crystal caverns are opened once more.

Of what was that rumble?

Perhaps because a crystal this big
has never been asked for.

No, this is something different.

Shall we stop the ceremony?

Let her finish.

Thank you.

The crystal has been loaded
onto your castle, Princess.

We wish you could stay longer.

I made you stickercup stew
for the sky road.

Oh, thank you.
I'm sure I shall enjoy this immensely.

To all you Balmerans,
thank you once again.

What was that?

Oh, no!

Take cover in the Balmera!

I'll hold it off
with the castle's defenses.

Hurry, hurry!

Particle barrier up!

Those crystals are acting as shields.

I need to lure it away from the Balmera!

I didn't just turn Galra!

Are you trying to see
if my skin is purple?

No.

Hunk, Keith, are you there?
Can you hear me?

Hunk and Keith here.
What's going on, Princess?

You must return to the castle! I need you!

We're on our way.

All right,
what are we doing now?

Let's call Allura
and let her know that we have Slav

and we're ready for her
to use the teludav.

You didn't say
we'd be traveling by teludav.

What's the problem?
We're traveling by teludav.

So just count your hair follicles

or fluff a pillow,
or whatever you need to do

to make sure we survive
the wormhole trip in this reality!

I was just going to point out

that the teludav
is a very efficient form of travel.

- Paladins, are you there?
- Princess, what's happening?

That monster that attacked us
on the Balmera before has returned!

What?

I need you
back here immediately.

You got it, Princess.
sharpsh**ter is on the way.

sharpsh**ter?

It's my new nickname that I gave myself.
Just... Just pass it on.

Ready when you are, Allura.

Whoa! How is that thing
operational? It doesn't have a head!

I don't know, but I'm sure it has
something to do with those crystals.

We can't worry about that now.
We have to protect the castle.

How did we beat it last time?

We formed Voltron,
then I stuck in my Bayard

and shot it with my blaster
right in its arm lasers.

But that didn't stop it
so then we had to punch it.

- So we're gonna need Voltron.
- But we only have two lions.

Well, maybe we can form
the legs and kick it?

Whoa!

That new laser is much more powerful.
We're definitely gonna need all the lions.

Hunk, you distract it
so we can fly into the castle.

Once we get our lions out, we'll cover you
so you can fly Keith in for Red.

Wait, wait, wait.
I have to hold that thing off by myself?

You have Keith.

Yeah, but he's in here with me!

There's no time to argue.
We got to do this now.

Oh, Quiznak.

Commander Thace,
did you find what you were looking for?

Take him to Haggar's lab.

Those crystals
are blocking all of our attacks!

Oh, no!

The castle is doomed
unless we distract that beast.

Good, it's chasing us.

Ahh...

The particle barrier
is severely damaged.

Lance, get back out to give Hunk cover.

- Pidge and I are right behind you.
- You got it, Shiro.

Don't worry about me.
I'll just hang out here.

Can you help the Princess
restore the particle barrier?

Yes.

- Now?
- Oh, you mean in this reality. Got it.

Oh...

Bank left!

Barrel roll!

- Nose dive!
- Quit back lion driving!

I'll distract it! Go get the Red Lion!

Oh h* h*, good timing, Lance!

Aaah!

Guys!

Hunk, do something.

I can't move! I'm hit.
Nothing's working!

Come on, boy. Come back to me.

- We need to protect Hunk.
- I've got him!

I'm getting real sick of that crystal.
Let's take it out.

On it.

Shiro,
it's on its way to the castle!

- I got it!
- Well, who's got me?

Where are you going?

I'll jump out and jetpack over
to the castle.

Good one.
Wait, serious?

Form jaw blade!

Got to hurry!

We'll keep the crystals busy.
Shiro, you attack from the other side.

On my way.

Hey, my lion's working again!

I'm back, baby!

Okay. Let's go.

Oh, whoa. Wait, what?

Oh, man! Not again!

Oh, no, no, no!

Sorry I'm late, guys.

Okay, let's form Voltron

and take this thing down
like we did last time.

I don't think the Robeast
is gonna sit around

and wait for us to transform.

Keith's right.
We'll need to think of something else.

Hey, at least we outnumber
those crystal shields.

Yeah, he can only block
two of us.

I think I've got an idea.

Guys, see if you can get me
an open shot at its chest.

Got it!

Nice job, Pidge.

- Now form Voltron!
- Yeah!

Great work, Paladins.

Now return to the castle
so we can get back to Olkarion.

Why is there a grand entrance
on the 40th floor?

And what's with all the ziplines?

You have hover technology.

Well, you know what?

Ziplines were quite fashionable


- Allura, have you heard from Coran?
- Yes.

So we ready to pop through the wormhole
and get back to Olkarion?

Yes, I've checked in with Coran
and the teludav is nearly complete.

Hunk, thank you
for getting the scaultrite.

No problem.

You know, Keith was there too.

We've made great progress
while you were gone.

And now that we have the scaultrite,

we should be finished
in less than a quintant.

Wow.
That is one giant teludav.

Nice work, Coran.

Good job, Coran. Fist bump.

Now blow it up.

Oh, don't you dare!
It took forever to build this teludav.

And let's not forget it's a pivotal piece

that we need for our plan
to defeat Zarkon.

Aaah!

I've made some improvements
to your design.

This will increase our chances of survival
in this reality 205 percent.

- Is this guy a little...?
- Yes.

- No doubt.
- Not a fan.

Stop hitting the teludav!

Ow.

Princess,

there's something
I've been meaning to talk to you about.

What is it, Coran?

This plan of ours, it's...

Well, it's dangerous, you know?

We're taking certain risks.
You are taking certain risks.

This teludav,
the amount of exertion it will take...

I ju... You may not survive.

Coran, I know the risks.

Your father would be proud of the leader
that you've become.

What's everybody thinking about?

- Zarkon.
- Calzones.

I mean, uh, heck, yeah,
I'm thinking about calzones, okay?

I mean, does it always
have to be about Zarkon?

He's a bad guy.
We're trying to defeat him. I get it.

I'm hungry.

We've come a long way.

Yeah, remember when Hunk used
to throw up from riding in the elevator?

You guys remember that Arusian, Klaizap?
I think his name was? Cool name.

Yeah, Keith tried to beat him
up even though he's the size of a peanut.

He was their bravest warrior!

How about the time the food goo machines
attacked us in the kitchen?

That was the scariest thing
that's happened to me

the entire time I've been here.

- Oh, come on.
- What? It's the truth!

We faced sentries,
a haunted castle,

giant Robeasts, a mall security guard.

- And don't forget that cool cube thing.
- Yeah, and that awful cube thing.

You realize once we defeat Zarkon,
the universe won't need Voltron anymore.

- We can return to Earth.
- I can look for my family.

I guess I could look for mine.

This is it.

As long as everything goes
according to plan, we can't fail.

No more questions.

I'll get the truth out of you
one way or another.
