Meanwhile inside the Main Bridge of the Castle of Lions, Sendak was beyond furious. Everything was going as plan for him, he had taken the castle, captured one of the Paladins and the former champion, and gotten all the lions inside. But just as they were about to take off, one of the other Paladins shut down the system.

"Haxus, I want whoever's in this ship found and terminated!" Said Sendak angrily.

"Commander Sendak, I've received a transmission generating from somewhere inside." Said Haxus playing Team Voltron's communication channel out loud.

Allura: "There's not much time before they get the ship running again. You must shut off the particle barrier so we can get in."

Pidge: "You got it. Tell me what to do."

Allura: "The particle barrier generator is beneath the main hull."

"She's telling the intruder how to take down our defenses." Said Haxus informing Sendak.

"Yes, but she's also giving away his location. Find that room. Kill the Paladin!" Said Sendak informing the Galra Sentries as they leave. "Repair the engine, Emperor Zarkon has commanded us to bring him Voltron. This ship will rise before day's end."

Meanwhile at the Balmera, in the bottom of the mine on the Balmera, two aliens are approaching to Hunk and Coran from the darkness. Hunk raises his cannon Bayard in defense, while Coran panic.

"Okay, don't come any closer, I don't know how to use this very well." Said Hunk panicking a bit.

Then the two aliens step into the lights, revealing a male and female local Balmerans, who are large, bipedal aliens with grey, diseased-looking skin. They have fully yellow eyes and lack noses. Their skulls are protected by a darker layer of cartelidge or bone that resembles a helmet.

"Wait a minute. You're not Galra." Said Hunk lowering his cannon.

"Nor are you!" Said the female Balmeran and a Galra fighter jet slowly descends the mine.

"A patrol!" Said the male Balmeran and looks at the female Balmeran. "Shay, we must take leave from these ones, now."

"Wait, please! We need your help. If the Galra find us, they'll kill us." Said Coran as he pleaded.

"Or torture us." Said Hunk.

"Or keep us as some sort of creepy pet to play with how they please." Said Coran adding that.

"Not our problem, Hairy Lip. Galra see us near you and they kill both you and us. Shay, exeunt!" Said the male Balmeran beginning to leave.

"No! These many years only Galra have been seen here. I will not turn my back on the skylings." Said the female Balmeran, known as Shay, turn to Coran and Hunk, who smile at her.

"Vex!" Said the male Balmeran cursing as he and Shay approach the Altean flight pod. "Grab a side. In here. Hurry!"

So the male Balmeran and Shay began pushing the flight pod out of sight, into the cave with Hunk and Coran following them. Then the Galra patrol passes by without detecting them.

"Thanks for saving us, I'm Hunk." Said Hunk introducing himself.

"Shay. And this one, my brother Rax." SaodnShay introducing herself and her brother Rax. "How did you fall to us?"

"Well, we came looking for something. And you guys might be the right people to help us find it."
