Third person pov
The Castle's alarms blare awakening all the Paladins, sans Lance.
"Everybody up! Zarkon's attacking! The Castle's about to be destroyed! Go, go, go! We need Voltron now!" Allura yelled from the bridge, "Hurry! We can't survive much longer!"
"You've got to sell it a little bit more." Coran said to Allura as she handed him the microphone, "Oh, no! Allura is dead! Aaaah! it's horrible! Her head fell off! Wait! What? Her severed head is trying to speak to me! What is it, Allura's head? What are your final words?"
"Coran..." Allura said as she saw the majority of the Paladins were now standing behind them.
"Oh, yes, Princess, I'm listening." Coran said as Alyssa and Pidge exchanged weird looks.
"It's over." Allura said monotonously.
"Oh, I know! Uaaaagh! If only Voltron had been formed..." Coran said then catches sight of the Paladins, "—Oh! Time!"
"I guess this isn't an actual attack." Shiro stated the obvious, Alyssa was too tired to comment on.
"And it's a good thing it wasn't because it took you... Coran?" Allura asked.
"Seventy-five degrees. Oh, sorry. No, this is a meat thermometer." Coran apologised.
"However long it was, it was too long. You must always be ready to do battle with Zarkon. Look at you! Only Shiro is in uniform. Keith, Alyssa, Pidge, Hunk, where are your Bayards? And where is Lance?" Allura asked and right on cue Lance enters the bridge well rested in a robe.
"Good morning, everybody. What's going on?" Lance asked yawning.
"Coran and I have been up for hours getting the Castle back in order. We had to run a test on the alarms, and we decided to test you as well. Guess which one failed." Allura answered eyeing Lance who didn't seam to notice. Hunk started to complain about sleep as Alyssa was fiddling with the hem of her grey hoodie.
"You must understand the stakes of our mission." Allura said trying to reason with the humans in front of her as she opens up a map of the universe, "Over the last 10,000 years, the Castle picked up distress beacons from the following locations. So, we have to assume that Zarkon has conquered almost the entire known universe."
"Earth is here. An attack on your planet is inevitable." Allura continued after hearing Alyssa's yawn.
"Oh no..." Hunk said.
"Exactly. Our mission is to free all those planets. Coran and I are getting the Castle ready to leave Arus. During that time, you have to learn to form Voltron, so we can begin fighting Zarkon." Allura explained.
"The Princess is right. Let's get to our Lions and start training." Shiro agreed.
"Wait. But I want to talk to the prisoners we rescued from the Galra ship." Pidge protested.
"Ah, negative, Number Six. I have you ranked by height, okay? The prisoners need to remain in the cryo-replenishers until tomorrow." Coran said.
"That's right. Now, get to your Lions." Allura ordered and the Paladins comply after changing into their armour as the Yellow Paladin had trouble reaching his lion.

Outside the Castle the other Paladins are waiting for Hunk.
"... Should someone go in after him?" Lance asked his teammates then the Yellow lion finally arrives.
"Hey, sorry, everybody. Seriously, though, can't they park these things, like, a little closer to the Bridge?" Hunk apologised.
"All right, guys. Let's just fly in tight formation until we're totally in sync." Shiro commanded.
