Voltron Force (2011) s01e02 Episode Script

Defenders of Arus

1 Commander Kala, we've reached safe distance barrier from the Haggarian quasar.
Proceed with the sample acquisition.
[Probe blasts.]
You have failed me, Captain.
Maahox, your attempts to harness the power of the Haggarian quasar seem futile, and have cost a good portion of the fleet.
Yes, yes.
I told you that if it didn't work this time, I would destroy you.
Your irritating smile suggests you doubt my conviction to follow through.
No, Commander Kala, quite the contrary.
It is my faith in your conviction to squash the life from me that has me beaming, for, you see, it seems our Captain hasn't failed us after all.
In fact, I believe he's become part of the solution.
[.]
- addic7ed.
Com - and we'll conclude our tour in the castle control room, where all of the Voltron missions are planned.
Are these the doors to the lions? Can we see them? All in good time.
However, right now you'll be going through this door to your top-secret classroom.
Wow, our top-secret classroom looks a lot like A classroom.
It's equipped with just enough to suit its educating purposes.
So There's a third desk? [Sarcastically.]
Oh, yay, classmates.
Well, she seems nice.
[Smitten.]
Yeah, real nice.
Ahem.
Vince, Daniel, I'd like you to meet my niece, Larmina.
Well played, knuckleheads.
[Beeps on console.]
As you all know, the Voltron Force is made up of five separate lions, that are strong individually, but are much more powerful when they come together to form the mighty Voltron.
Unity is our core.
These are your volt-coms.
Over time, you will learn all of their practical applications, but it is more than a mere tactical device.
It is your link to the lions, and, more importantly, to each other.
As I activate each of you with the power of the lions, you're becoming part of a team, part of the Voltron legacy.
I welcome you, and turn you over to Lance, who has the great responsibility of teaching you how to carry this honor.
Thank you.
Well, now that we're all part of the Voltron elite, let's begin our first class with A pop quiz.
Huh? Come on.
I thought this school was about piloting the Voltron lions! There's a lot more to being part of the Voltron Force than piloting the lions.
Oof! We're gonna test your hand-to-hand combat skills to see what we're working with.
Who wants to go first? Which of you gentlemen would like to fight the lady? Keith, I've been running some diagnostics.
Whatever Wade did to your lion at his secret research facility really screwed it up.
The weapons systems are completely down.
The power is almost drained.
Tell me something I don't know.
You need to get back to Arus to recharge, but you'll never make it flying at combat levels.
Well, it's a good thing I'm not.
Yeah, about that You hit her.
I'm not gonna hit a girl.
I don't wanna ah! I'll take you both on.
Ah! Oof! [Groaning.]
Whoa.
[Groaning.]
You ladies haven't been in a lot of fights, have you? No.
[Sighs in exasperation.]
Of course, Wade installed a tracking device.
Can you disable the signal before they reach me? No, I can't seem to pinpoint the beacon's location in the lion.
They're going to catch up to you.
When? Sir! Our fractals have the target in sight, and they're about to engage.
Command the pilots to prove their worth and recover that lion in as many pieces as necessary.
You've already lost it once, general.
Have you located the former Voltron force members now in my employment? I'd like to question them personally.
No, Sir.
They all seem to be A.
W.
O.
L.
Don't worry, Keith.
Hunk and I have been working on a contingency plan.
We just need a bit more time.
[Computer voice.]
: Attention, the following individuals are to report to security.
Uh, I'll get right back to you.
Right back to me? Are you kidding? Oh, yeah, you might want to take evasive action about now.
What? Oh, boy.
[Roars, explosions blast.]
[Lasers snipe.]
Download Den intelligence report.
Downloading to tow ship.
What? [Gasps.]
Haggar? Keith, it's worse than we thought.
[Electricity crackling.]
[Power surges.]
[Gasses hissing.]
[Chuckles wickedly.]
Welcome back King Lotor.
[Groaning.]
Oh, man Anytime you're ready to start.
Whoa! [Cheering.]
Ha, a cheap playground trick? That's all you got? Hey, who's the one on their butt? You in about two seconds.
All right, let's just review your test results, shall we? Wait, you graded that? No, your Voltcoms did.
You guys have no idea how cool these things are.
Pretty soon, you'll just think something, and the Volt-com will automatically do it.
It can read our minds? [Scoffs.]
No, dude.
It must read our bodies' signals, minor muscle movements, adrenaline levels, blood pressure, and then associate those with specific Volt-com functions.
Probably some form of biometrics.
I was just gonna say it's magic.
It picks up on your natural talents and abilities, then adapts to strengthen them.
In this case, I wanted to see what weapon it picked for each of you, based on your fighting abilities.
Larmina, hit this button.
[Beeps gauntlet.]
[Power surges.]
Nice stick? [Grunts with effort.]
[Chain rattles.]
I like my stick.
Uh-huh.
A-and how 'bout you boys? What do I do with these? [Sarcastically.]
Rowr.
Whoa! Oof! Okay, we'll have to work on that one.
Let's see what the old Volt-com has in store for you, Vince.
What is happening? [Surges and fizzles.]
Uh, Pidge'll look at that, too.
Must have been impressed with your combat skills.
Ah-ah, I wouldn't talk too much smack before your second-period class, which is definitely more Vince's dojo.
[Simulators hum to life.]
More simulators, huh? Oh, this is much more than a simulator, it's a lion simulator! Pidge, you gotta warn the others, but I'm gonna need some sort of distraction here.
Without weapons, all I can do is outrun these guys, and I can't do that for long.
I know! I'm working on something.
Here! It looks like there's an asteroid field nearby.
You can try to lose them in there.
A little game of cat and mouse.
I can do that.
I feel a A strange sensation running through my veins.
That's only natural, having just been raised from the grave with the power of Haggarium.
H-Haggarium? As in the witch Haggar? The very essence of Haggar, my Lord.
[Laughs wickedly.]
Yes! I feel the dark energy! How ironic.
Haggar's power giving me life.
You call me your Lord, yet I know neither of you.
Forgive me.
This is Commander Kala from the planet Darkor.
What she lacks in personality, she makes up for in tactical brilliance, and blood lust.
Charming.
And you? I am Maahox, master of experimental occult sciences, and exile from Calum.
These titles are related.
Well, exile and Commander, I imagine you feel I am indebted to you for bringing me back into existence.
I also assume that means you want something from me.
We can all benefit from each other.
I'll go into the details once you've adjusted to reanimation.
For now, just know that a common hatred has brought us together.
Hmm Voltron.
This is amazing! W-whoa! It feels like the real deal, but there's really only one way to tell.
[Shuddering with speed.]
Awesome! [Clanking and stumbling.]
Well, I hate this techie stuff.
I'd much rather be beating you up in real life [Shouting.]
Oof! [Vince laughs.]
My dojo.
[Lance chuckles.]
I really like these goons, but I don't get why you wanted me to bring them here now.
Wiser forces than myself have set this in motion.
Allura, Lance! You guys there? Pidge, is everything okay? No.
You'd better see this, and this.
We need to step up the curriculum.
[Grumbles.]
The Voltron Force.
They nearly succeeded in destroying me.
Now they must pay.
[Groans in pain.]
All part of Kala's brilliant plan, already set in motion.
Please, my Lord.
Today is your re-birthday.
You should sit back and enjoy our present to you A neatly-packaged gift on its way to Arus.
[Laser bolts blasting.]
Lance taught them well.
Luckily, I'm a better pilot than Lance.
We need to disable Wade's tracking device, or you'll never lose them.
Maybe if I use their signal feed to hone in the Yeah! Got it! I found the beacon location! It's not like I can crawl down there at the moment, Pidge.
It's time for this cat to chase the mice.
We believe a dark evil is rising.
We also believe each of you are going to be a part of the force that defeats this evil.
Why us? Because you have been chosen to [Alarms wail.]
It's a Robeast coffin! Already? It can't be! We need to take out the lions and investigate.
Cool! No, not cool.
You guys, stay here.
Are you cool with this? Activating the lions will break strict galaxy alliance sanctions.
Arus will face consequences.
We have no choice.
[Chip activates.]
[Electricity surges.]
[Roaring.]
Come to me Closer Closer [Swat, crash.]
Keith, the beacon signal's gone! How did you knock it out? I didn't.
He did.
Sir, they've lost the black lion.
Incompetent fools! And there's more.
We've just received confirmation that the red and blue lions have been activated on Arus What? How? I have the keys Fakes? Argh! I am through with human error.
I'd better get back to Arus while I still can.
Pidge, send me the Pidge, I've lost power.
Keith.
Keith, do you copy? We're almost there! Keith? Pidge! Our security detected a Robeast coffin landing on Arus.
Lance and I are going to investigate.
All right, we've got Keith in our sight.
We'll be there as soon as we can.
[Heavy footsteps stomping.]
That may not be soon enough.
[Roaring.]
[Power surging.]
[Bolts blasting.]
I think I imagined a more romantic reunion with the lions.
[Bomb explodes.]
I take it back.
I think the two of us just shared a beautiful moment.
No offense, but I wish the whole team were here to share with us.
We can't just sit here! What can we do? No way, Daniel! Maybe the others are almost here.
Not a lick of power in him, is there? Pidge! What's your E.
T.
A.
? Doing the best we can! Well, hurry! Lance and Allura really need your help! Um, who was that? It looks like we're gonna have to engage him as a twosome.
You ready? Cover me.
[Roars.]
[Laser sizzling.]
[Screams.]
Allura, no! [Laser sizzles.]
Ah! Lance! Lance, are you okay? Lance! That's it! We gotta do something! [Chip activates.]
Whoo-hoo! [Ball rumbling.]
[Power surges.]
[Console locks.]
Time to go fast.
[Shoots and speeds.]
Aw, yeah! [Gnawing.]
[Crash.]
[Roaring.]
Hunk? Uh, not exactly.
Eat laser! [Clunk.]
Whoops.
Uh, how 'bout Now! [Missiles launch.]
Ah! Daniel.
I know, I know, sorry.
I don't know the weapons, but I can still fly.
[Groans.]
Daniel? W-what are you Lance, are you okay? I think my arm is broken, but I still got some fight in me.
At least there's three of us now.
Guys, I gotta get down there.
Is there any way to speed this up? Only if we get some power to the lion to help propel it, but we don't have a source capable of [Weapons blasting.]
If we keep working together, we can keep this beast on its heels.
Yeah, but does anyone have any ideas how to get it off its heels? Don't look at me for strategy, unless you want cheap playground tricks.
You're a genius, Danny-boy.
Allura, maintain your position.
Daniel, let's play.
[Crash.]
Yeah! Knocked you on your ro-butt! Nice, but not the time to gloat.
Pin it! [Chomp.]
[Roars.]
We need to pin that other arm.
We need another lion! Did somebody say, "another lion"? [Roaring.]
All right, that should hopefully transfer all the lion power from your Volt-com into [Surges to life.]
It worked! Great! Now Wait, you don't have enough power to Hear me because your Volt-com is dead.
Punch it, Hunk! [Allura.]
: Come on, guys, concentrate.
You're a team.
You can do it! Here, you control the jaws, while I take the legs.
Like this? [Jaws chomp.]
[Groans.]
Yeah! Whoa! Come on We're almost in Arus's gravitational pull.
You can do it [Engine splutters.]
It's dead again.
We need to try something else.
Try it my way, with some muscle! What are you Keith! Get ready to do your hero thing! [Smack.]
[Blasts fire.]
I can't get a shot without losing my grip.
Come on, guys, concentrate.
We're losing him! [Beast roaring.]
[Vince.]
: Okay, I think we got it [Chomp.]
We need our whole team! Where's [Sonic boom crashes.]
[Gasping in shock.]
Aw, come on! Hold! [Zooming down.]
[Beast roars.]
[Blows thud.]
[Snarling.]
[Crash.]
[Short circuits crackling.]
[Coughing.]
Keith! It's good to see you, old pal.
You're still rockin' the mullet? Man, you have been underground for a long time.
[Chuckles.]
Yeah, we'll have to do something about that.
Where are Pidge and Hunk? Did we get him? Pidge, you're okay! Yes, yes, we did.
Great.
Now, you want to come get us? [Cheering.]
[All chatting happily.]
[Laughing warmly.]
Nice haircut.
'Bout time You did real good today, Dan-man, even though you lost your head.
At least I didn't lose my arm.
[Chuckles wryly.]
Come on.
Hey, Keith, I want to introduce you to my new hero.
[Roaring.]
[Crash.]
[Computer pings.]
[Roars in rage.]
What was that? King Lotor.
That Robeast's defeat was part of my plan.
It was a relic from your days, a minor challenge to bring Voltron back into the open.
We have something much more powerful in store What you and your predecessors failed to realize is that some of the best raw material for robeasts isn't found in your battle arena, but in nature herself.
Eons of evolution perfecting efficient, savage predators.
Yes, but the problem with these creatures is that they lack the brain capacity for reason, for strategy, which is why we need to give this to our next generation of Haggarian-powered robeasts.
My own evolution! [Chamber whooshes.]
What? [Smash.]
This wasn't part of my plan.
What-what? [Screaming in horror and agony.]
No, but it was part of mine.
[Electricity crackles and thrums.]
Don't fight it, dear Commander.
I promise, you'll love what I've done with you.
Yes And so will the Voltron Force.
