"Whoa... What the heck is that thing?! ... And who the heck is she?" Lance said getting distracted by a female Garrison officer.

"Lance!" Alyssa yells as Pidge hit him on the back of his head.

"Ow! Ah, right, alien ship. Man, we'll never get past all those guards to get a look." Lance said trying to keep focus.

Hunk tried to get the other three to go back but his Idea was shut down by Pidge, "Wait. They set up a camera in there and I grabbed its feed. Look!"

They could see Shiro strapped down to a table surrounded by Garrison technicians.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Shiro asked.

 "Calm down, Shiro. We just need to keep you quarantined until we run some tests on you." Iverson explains.

"You have to listen to me! They destroyed worlds! Aliens are coming!" Shiro warned.

"That's Shiro!" Alyssa gasped at his familiar face.

"The pilot of the Kerberos Mission. That guy's my hero!" Lance continued.

"Guess he's not dead in space after all." Hunk said.

"Where's the rest of the crew?" Pidge questioned.

"Do you know how long you've been gone?" Iverson asked Shiro.

"I don't know. Months? Years? Look, there's no time. Aliens are coming here for a weapon. They're probably on their way. They'll destroy us! We have to find Voltron!" Shiro answered.

 "Voltron!" Pidge repeated.

 "Sir, take a look at this. It appears his arm has been replaced with a cyborg prosthetic." one technician explained.

"Put him under until we know what that thing can do." Iverson instructed the others.

"Don't, don't be me under! No! No, there's no time! Let me go!" Shiro pleaded.

"They didn't ask about the rest of the crew." Pidge said.

"What are they doing? The guy's a legend. They're not even gonna listen to him?" Lance said pissed.

"We have to get him out." Alyssa said standing up.

 "Ah, I hate to be the voice of reason here, always, but weren't we just watching on TV because there was no way to get past the guards?" Hunk said concerned.

"That was before we were properly motivated. We've just got to think. Could we tunnel in?" Lance said.

"Maybe we could get some hazmat suits and sneak in like med techs." Pidge suggested.

"Or we dress up like cooks, sneak into the commissary... little late-night snack." Hunk said.

"... No. What we need is a distraction." Alyssa said.

Explosions started going of in the distance making the four cadets scream. "Is that the aliens?! Are—Tha—The—Is that the aliens?! Are they here?! They got here so quick!" Hunk stuttered.

"No. Those explosions were a distraction, for him!" Pidge says pointing at Keith who was arriving on a hovercraft."The Garrison's headed towards the blast, and he's sneaking in from the other side!" 

Lance looks through the binoculars he took from Alyssa shooting a glare towards Keith, "No way...! Oh, he is not going to be us in there! That guy is always trying to one-up me!"

"Who is it?" Hunk asked his friend.

"Keith!" Lance and Alyssa replied at the same time.

"Who?" Pidge asked.

"Are you sure?" Hunk questioned.

"Oh, I'd recognize that mullet anywhere!" Lance said.

"Who's Keith?!" Pidge yelled frustrated and soon followed his classmates.

Alyssa's pov 

"Nope. No you—No, no, no, no, no, no, no you don't. I'm saving ." Lance said to this Keith guy as we walked in.

"Lance! If he's here to save Shiro too then we should help him, idiot." I said trying to speed up this reunion.

"Who are you?" Keith asked Lance.

"Who am I? Uh, the name's Lance." Lance replied unimpressed that Keith didn't remember him. "... We were at the same class at the Garrison?"

"Really? Are you an engineer?" Keith asked.

"No, I'm a pilot. We were, like, rivals. You know, Lance and Keith, neck-and-neck." Lance pressed on.

"Oh wait, I remember you. You're a cargo pilot." Keith said. As I giggled Keith stared at me shocked and his eyes softened.

"Well, not anymore. I'm fighter class now thanks to you washing out." Lance said.

 "Well, congratulations." Keith said sarcastically.

Keith and Lance carry Shiro's unconscious body towards Keith's hovercraft.

"Oh, man, they're coming back and they do not look happy. We gotta go. Uh, do you mind if we catch a ride with you?" Hunk asked as everyone climbs on and tips slightly.

 "Is this thing going to be big enough for all of us?" Pidge asked concerned.

 "No." Keith said bluntly.

"Why am I holding this guy?" Pidge complained holding Shiro.

"Pidge just focus on making sure Shiro doesn't fall off." I said while getting up standing on the back of the hovercraft I tuned out everyone telling me to sit back down, then I pulled a laser gun shooting at the Garrison rovers on our tail.

"WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET A GUN!" Pidge yelled at me as I sat back down with everyone staring at me.

"I stole it from Iverson's office." I shrugged.

"Guys? Is th-th-th-tha-tha—Is that a cliff up ahead?" Hunk asked worried.

"Ooooh no, no, no! No, no, no, no—!" Lance said.

 "Yup." Keith said smirking and increasing the speed while everyone else screamed.

"What are you doing?! You're going to kill us all!" Lance yelled.

"Shut up and trust me!" Keith yelled back and we jumped over the cliff and made it across safely heading towards the desert.
