"What just happened?" Lance questioned Allura and Coran in a panicked tone as he, Pearl, Bismuth, Thace, and Matt arrived in the castle's control room; along with Lion, who had a scared Pumpkin and quartet of space mice hiding behind him.
"The teladuv's portal was compromised and broke down!" Coran answered as he frantically checked every single monitor in the control room.
"Broke down?" Bismuth questioned. "What does that even mean?"
"It means we have zero control over where we're headed!" Coran answered.
"Wait, where are the others?" Matt asked the princess.
"We don't know," Allura answered.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Pearl questioned the Altean sovereign.
"Whatever struck the portal scattered the Lions across the known universe," Allura answered. "They're gone!"

"Come on, come on, come on!" Keith frustratingly repeated to himself as he tried to stabilize the Red Lion; while she and the Black Lion were in free fall, heading towards a small planet as the alarms blared.
"Shiro, Garnet, are you there?" Keith asked the Black Paladin over his comms; only getting nothing but static. "Shiro, Garnet, do you read me!"
The Red and Black Lions broke through the atmosphere of the planet and began to heat up; slowly deviating apart from each other as they fell faster. Knowing there isn't much he can do now, Keith tightens his seat's straps and grips onto his controls with all his might; awaiting the inevitable impact with the ground. Ten... nine... eight... seven... six... five... four... three... two... one...
Everything went black... but Keith slowly opened his eyes as his ears rang at a sharply high pitch. The young Galra groans and coughs as his slowly returned to him; he somehow survived a crash that ordinary people wouldn't without a single scratch. Red must've taken most of the impact. "Red..." Keith groaned as his sight and hearing returned. "Red! Red, are you okay girl?"
The mechanical beast answered her Paladin by giving him a soft purr. Keith let out a relieving sigh as he placed his hand on his Lion's cockpit; Red was exhausted and in no condition fly. "All right, girl; rest up," Keith told his friend. "You've earned it. I'm going to search for Shiro and Garnet."
The Red Lion responded by opening her maw and letting Keith out. Once on the planet's surface, Keith looked around; taking in his surroundings. The planet's surface appeared grey and lifeless with nothing but mountains and canyons, and the ground was surprisingly warm. The Galran tapped into his helmets communicator. "Shiro, Garnet, are you there?" Keith questioned. "I landed somewhere, but I don't know where. Please pick up... Takashi, please pick up... Garnet, is Shiro okay... someone, please pick up!"

"Hang on, Peridot!" Pidge screamed as she and her copilot continue to free fall to a giant mass of space debris while the alarms blared.
"Are you okay Dot?" Katie asked her Gem friend as she breathed heavily.
"I am fine, Pidge," Peridot assured her. "Well... physically at least."
Katie. Peridot.
"Green?" The girls said at the same time; hearing the exhaustion in their Lion's voice.
"Okay girl, rest for a bit," Pidge told her friend as she fiddled with her seatbelt. "Peridot and I will see what we can... whoa!"
"Pidge?" Peridot looked over at her partner and saw that she was floating.
