The alarms haven't gone off in exactly 12 years and 4 months, Lance had been counting. So one could imagine his shock when Keith shook him awake and yelled to him "Lance hurry, we have to go, something's happened!"

"Keith, what is it?" Lance yelled back around the noise, putting on his clean clothes in a rush after Keith's example.

"I don't know, but the alarm, whatever it is it can't be good." Keith grabbed his husband's hand and they ran down the hall towards the bridge.

Shiro and Hunk were typing away wildly on their screens, and Coran and Kairos working quickly on the directory screens. Lance and Keith jumped into their own seats and began pulling up information.

Allura stood on her pedestal directing maps and yelling "Shiro, I feel the energy getting stronger and darker!"

"Coran, anything on the source? Or what threw the alarm?" Pidge asked typing furiously onto her holoscreen.

"Whatever this is it can't be good." Hunk said reading something over Pidge's shoulder. "These refractory readings are off the chart!"

"Yeah, I think it's some sort of Quintessence, but I don't know, I haven't ever seen it like this, it's acting as if it's, being controlled. When we saw Quintessence with Zarkon, it had controlled him..." Pidge rambled.

"I don't think I follow," said Lance.

"What she's trying to say is that there is something out there, something big enough and powerful enough to be spitting out raw Quintessence, dark Quintessence," Allura said, moving screens around furiously.

"Do we have a location from where it's being projected?"

"Roger that, it seems to be coming from... no, I don't believe it," Coran muttered.

"Coran, what is it?" Keith asked.

"It's coming from far away, far far away, farther than the technical known universe, farther than we have ever, ever even thought about traveling. I'm talking distance." Coran explained, furrowing his eyebrows together in nervousness.

"How much energy would it take to wormhole there?" Allura asked.

"Honestly my queen, more than you have, by a significant margin. The distance is absolutely massive, at least 300x what we've traveled before."

Kairos turned and looked at his mother expectantly, hoping to be given the task of assisting the wormhole with her, instead, Kairos heard his father say "I think for right now we should just keep an eye on it, just until we can figure out something long term, because right now as far as we know it's not hurting anything, just being threatening."

"I agree with Shiro I would much rather stay here than go close to the unfathomable power of darkness thingy." Hunk said

Eventually, all of the paladins agreed, and Shiro made the next statement. "I know we haven't been out and about in our lions recently, and with this looming over us, I say we take to a few training sessions and practice up in them just to be sure we're prepared."

And that was how the 5 paladins of Voltron found that their lions, no longer responded to them.
