002 - Escape To Another Planet
The Doom ship (that the space explorers escaped in) is under attack. We see it's in trouble and about to crash land. Keith is speaking. Keith "Commander Keith calling Galaxy Garrison. We just escaped from King Zarkon and the Planet Doom. But we're not out of trouble yet. I'll report again later. I hope." |
The team returns fire on the other ship, catching fire. The ship (with the space explorers) crash lands on Arus, the team ejects.
Back at Galaxy Garrison, they seem to be at the same meeting as before. This time they discuss the team crash landing on Arus. They note that the space explorers have luck on their side but Zarkon will never give up trying to capture them.

We have a comedic moment when they land and Pidge finds Hunk face down, half buried, feet flailing. He says Hunk has the biggest feet on the team. Pidge then pulls Hunk out and helps him into a sitting position. Lance is also face down in the dirt and as Sven and Keith come running up, Hunk and Pidge are trying to help Lance up, but he grumbles to leave him alone, he'll get up when he wants. |
Once everyone is gathered, Lance asks what's next (with the ship destroyed), Hunk suggests food, Pidge suggests looking for the castle. Keith says it's a long way off and they have to cross a desert to get there. He worries that there may be no one there when they finally get to the castle. |
The team is confused as to why they're being attacked and calls out to their attackers to hold their fire, they are friends. But it's to no avail. Hunk grabs a spear and runs toward the cave entrance where we now see people gathered. Hunk yells that he'll take them all on, the people run back into the cave.
Hunk (yells into the cave) - "You can hide (chuckles) but I'll find ya! Some welcome you're giving us! We came to help!" (Angrily) "Come out and fight!"
Keith places a hand on Hunk's shoulder and says, "Take it easy, Hunk." Hunk is still upset. "Zarkon wrecks their planet, we come to help ‘em and whadda we get? SCARDEY CATS!" |
Lance - "It's not easy, but we'll try."
Hunk - "It'd be a lot easier with some food - or a space burger place around." Pidge says - "Zarkon did this to these people." Sven - "Now they're afraid of everybody." Lance - "It'll be hard to make friends here. But that's what we gotta do, help each other." |
They decide to head back toward the castle - that's the place to start. They have to get moving, they can't stay where they are because Zarkon's ships will be back any minute.
Hunk - "Okay! There's a job to be done. Let's do it!"
Hunk - "Okay! There's a job to be done. Let's do it!"
The team continues to make their way through the foggy forest, but are now hearing some sort of beast growling.
Pidge - "Wh-what's that sound?"
Lance - "Doesn't sound like a man-eating lion, but it could be a lion-eating man!"
Pidge - "L-l-let's get outta here!"
Hunk - "I once wrestled a lion - course he was just a cub."
Pidge - "Wh-what's that sound?"
Lance - "Doesn't sound like a man-eating lion, but it could be a lion-eating man!"
Pidge - "L-l-let's get outta here!"
Hunk - "I once wrestled a lion - course he was just a cub."
The team moves on, finally reaching the front door. Keith comments that "it's too quiet." The group is startled when the doors open on their own, but they head inside anyway. Once they are all inside the castle, the doors slam shut behind them. They try to stop the doors from closing, when that doesn't work, they try to force the doors open. But nothing works. Coming from the darkened castle interior, we hear a voice. |
Pidge says - "We'll be glad to leave! Just open up!"
"We trust no strangers. Our world has been devastated by the ruthless King Zarkon of Planet Doom."
Lance - "All your defenses destroyed?"
"Everything. But a mighty robot."
Keith - "You mean Voltron?"
Lance - "Now we're getting some place! Are you a scientist?"
"I was the castle diplomat. Now I am keeper of these ruins."
Keith - "Do you know where Voltron is? Tell us! We can save your planet!"
"We trust no strangers. Our world has been devastated by the ruthless King Zarkon of Planet Doom."

Lance - "Now we're getting some place! Are you a scientist?"
"I was the castle diplomat. Now I am keeper of these ruins."
Keith - "Do you know where Voltron is? Tell us! We can save your planet!"
Coran - "This planet was once known as the most beautiful in the Diamond Galaxy. Our people lived in peace and prospered. We were never war minded, but we developed scientific weapons of defense. Then one day, the spaceships of the evil King Zarkon arrived without warning. They swarmed in and destroyed everything but this palace. Most of our people were taken as slaves; those who escaped are hiding in the hills. They've become like hunted animals - afraid to come out."
|
Keith tells Coran about the people who shot at them, and Coran asks the space explorers to forgive them as they believed them to be part of Zarkon's forces. Keith tells Coran that Zarkon's attack squad will be back, looking for them because they just escaped from Zarkon's slave dungeon and knows that their ship crash landed on Arus.
Coran says - "Zarkon will never give up."
Hunk replies - "Neither will we!"
Coran promises to do all he can to help and he assures them they will have the blessing of "Her Royal Highness, Princess Allura."
This is the introduction of Princess Allura. She's shown at the top of the stairs, starting with the hem of her gown and moving up to her face - with lots of sparkles.

Coran explains that he and Allura are the only survivors of the Royal Court and they are determined to free and restore their planet to her former glory. Coran then says, "Our prayers for help have been answered. You're a great team and a blessing."
Allura then asks, "What are your names?"
They all introduce themselves, starting with Keith who adds "the commander" after his name.

Allura - "Welcome to our poor planet. Coran has told you what a beautiful place Arus once was. I'm glad my father is no longer alive to see it in ruins." She begins to cry. "It would break his great, noble heart. He loved this world and was a kind and gentle ruler. Zarkon destroyed everything but his memory." |
Coran goes on to explain that Alfor left them Voltron, and if he was alive, they'd know how to activate the robot.
The team says they know about the legend of Voltron, and pledges that they will help them (Arus). But Coran says they do, and they do not, have Voltron.
Keith - "Which is it?"
The team says they know about the legend of Voltron, and pledges that they will help them (Arus). But Coran says they do, and they do not, have Voltron.
Keith - "Which is it?"
Without Voltron, Zarkon was able to crush them. Although they still have Voltron, scattered in parts, they don't have King Alfor who knew the secret to Voltron and how to re-assemble them into Voltron.
The team reassures Coran and Princess Allura that they'll be able to form Voltron and Coran says their prayers are answered.
Coran - "From this moment on, you five shall be known as the Voltron Force!"

Coran - "From this moment on, you five shall be known as the Voltron Force!"
The team sets aside their weapons and pledges themselves to Princess Allura. Just then Zarkon's fleet attacks!
We hear King Zarkon say, "Attention all attack ships, this is Zarkon! Find the Voltron Force and capture them immediately! Destroy every tree, every living thing on Planet Arus if you must, but find them! Find them!!"
Haggar cackles and says to her Blue Cat (Coba) "You'll have fun my evil pet - you'll have them for dinner!"
[Creepy!]

We see the ships moving in to attack, then Coran says, "We've managed to preserve our control room. Watch. . ." He pushes a button on a picture frame and a secret door slides open to Castle Control. Everyone is in awe.
Allura announces, "This is our control room."
The team is impressed, but admits it would be nice if they had something to control.

Keith says, "Show us where those lions are"
And Coran explains that Black Lion is atop the Lion Monument (at the gate); Red Lion lies beneath the fiery lava beneath the volcano; Green Lion is hidden deep in the forest; Blue Lion rest somewhere at the bottom of the lake; and Yellow Lion lies hidden out on the sands of the desert. Coran tells them they have underground tunnels to reach the Lions. *
Coran then explains that if you know the magic formula, the lions can be made to unite and form Voltron. (We see Coran show the team via a computer screen the 5 Lions becoming Voltron.)
Keith asks. . ."Okay Princess?"
Allura nods.
