Third person pov

"Princess, you must eat. It's been 10,000 years!" Coran said to Allura worried.

"I'm not hungry." Allura replied.

"Man, 10,000 years? That's like one thousand plus ten." Lance said earning weird looks.

"That's times ten." Keith corrected.

"Whatever, dropout." Lance said to Keith.

"How did you even get into the Garrison? I mean it wasn't for grades that's for sure." Alyssa asked Lance as Pidge and Hunk giggled.

"I haven't eaten since breakfast and I'm starving." Hunk said.

"Yeah, but you've thrown up, like, five times." Pidge said.

"Hmm... Good point." Hunk said and continued to eat the food goo even though he thought it was disgusting.

The alarms started blaring showing a Galra battleship on the screen.

"A Galra battleship has set its tracker to us!" Coran said.

"How did they find us?!" Allura asked.

"I'm not sure, but I bet it's Keith's fault." Lance blamed.

"How?" Alyssa asked.

"Say whatever you've got to say to make yourself feel better... after getting us stuck on the other side of a Wormhole!" Keith countered.

"I'LL STICK YOU IN A WORMHOLE!" Lance yells as both Keith and Lance appeared ready to fight.

"Stop it, cadets! This is no time to place blame, it's time to work as a team. How long before they arrive?" Shiro said separating them.

"At their speed? Oh, well, uh, carry the two... I'd say probably a couple of days?" Coran answered Shiro's question Ignoring Lance and Keith.

"Good. Let them come! By the time they get here, you five will have reformed Voltron, and together, we will destroy Zarkon's empire!" Allura replied.

"Princess, there are six of these Lions. How are we going to find the rest?" Shiro asked.

"King Alfor connected the Lions to Allura's life force. She alone is the key to the Lions' whereabouts." Coran said. Allura then activates the computer pening a map of the entire universe.

"Whoa!" everyone exclaimed in awe.

"These are... coordinates. The Black Lion looks like it's in the same location as the Blue Lion." Pidge said.

"Very observant. That's because the Black Lion is in the Castle." Allura praised.

"To keep the Black Lion out of Zarkon's hands, King Alfor locked it in the Castle. It can only be freed if the other five Lions are present." Coran explained.

"As you have found, the Lions choose their pilots. It is a mystical bond and cannot be forced. The Quintessence of the pilot is mirrored in his Lion. Together, they form something greater than science can explain." Allura said.

After Allura had explained the Yellow lion would be piloted by Hunk she turned to Alyssa.

"The Purple Lion is the protective chest of Voltron. It needs a dignitary pilot, Alyssa you will pilot the Purple Lion." Allura explained sending the hologram of the Purple Lion towards the brunette, Alyssa just blinked her silver eyes in response.

"The Red Lion is temperamental and the most difficult to master. It's faster and more agile than the others, but also more unstable. Its pilot needs to be someone who relies more on instincts than skill alone. Keith, you will fly the Red Lion." Allura said to Keith.
