You're my mom? How?
How did you get to Earth? How... how did you meet my dad?
- How... how are you sure? - I'm sure.
This isn't how I hoped to meet you again,
and this isn't how I wanted to tell you, but it's the truth.
- We can talk about this later. - What?
You drop a bomb like this and tell me you'll explain later?
We've got more important things to deal with right now.
[muffled grunt]
Fine.
We're going after the enriched quintessence
that created Ranveig's super weapon.
What?
Kolivan and I have been searching for that quintessence for a long time.
I was with Ranveig when an unmarked cargo ship passed into his region.
When we checked it out, there was no crew aboard.
The ship had been nearly torn to pieces,
but inside, a single vat of quintessence remained.
It was unlike any other quintessence we'd seen.
[Keith] Were there navigation records aboard?
[Krolia] No, but I analyzed the ship personally.
The radiation signature indicated it had passed through the quantum abyss.
[Keith] Quantum abyss? What's that?
[Krolia] It's a part of the galaxy where dense neutron stars
orbit even larger dark stars.
In the quantum abyss, planets and other celestial bodies
are being pulled and torn in different directions.
It's a chaotic, ever-changing environment.
And the presence of such massive objects has unusual effects
on gravitational waves and space-time itself.
- And that's where we're heading? - Yes.
[Lotor] Your father, King Alfor, was a gifted alchemist,
whose unique ability allowed him to infuse the Voltron ore with Altean energy,
granting it and the paladins access to the quintessence field.
Now you, Allura, possess that same gift.
Our visit to Oriande has taught me more than I ever thought possible.
- Thank you. - No, thank you, Princess.
With your help, we can finally supply the empire with quintessence.
You are the key to bringing peace to the universe.
Peace.
My father wanted the same thing when he built the lions.
It is an honor to follow in his footsteps and continue his work.
And to do so alongside you.
Like the days of long ago, our royal alliance will inspire others.
[Pidge] You guys starting without us?
[Hunk] You didn't think to call the engineers
before you began building your inter-reality quintessence field
magical Altean alchemy super ship?
Right. You didn't think to call the engineers... and me?
- [stammers] - [clanging]
[metal clattering]
What?
[sighs] I appreciate that you want to help.
Unfortunately, there's not a lot for you to do.
Infusing the comet ore with Altean alchemy
is quite different than simply building a ship.
[both] Magic.
We'll certainly call you if we're in need of assistance.
Hmm. Oh, well.
More time to integrate those Galra shields with Altean tech.
There's gotta be a way to do it.
You sure you don't need a third wheel for help?
No?
[Keith] I think we're here.
[Krolia] Bring us in. Stay alert.
[Keith] Are you sure we should go in there?
[Krolia] Ranveig sent probes trying to track the quintessence.
The probes picked up a path that was relatively unaffected by space-time.
[Keith] Where does the path go?
[Krolia] We never found out. The probes were all destroyed.
By what?
[Krolia] I'm not sure. Keep sharp.
Huh? What is that?
[snarling]
- [alarm blaring] - [gasps]
[Keith] Krolia, we got trouble.
We need to shake them before they breach the hull!
- [thumps] - [grunts]
[Keith] Hang on.
- [snarling] - [gasps]
Keith, what's our status?
[snarling]
[grunts] The ship's damaged.
Thrusters are gone. I can't hold her!
[grunts] We're being pulled in! We need to ditch!
- [explosion] - [Keith] What were those things?
[Krolia] I don't know, but they're gone now.
[Keith] So is our ship.
It had the coordinates to guide us through the quantum abyss.
[Krolia] We'll have to make do. Come on.
As long as we stay within the borders of the space-time drop-offs,
we should be safe.
[Keith] Basically, stay close so we won't be drawn in
and stretched into nothingness like those creatures.
Got it.
- Huh? - [Keith] What's going on?
[rumbling]
[both grunting]
[sighs]
[shouts]
Hello?
[baby crying]
We'll name him "Yorak."
How about "Keith"?
[Krolia] "Keith." I like that.
- [man] Hello, Keith. - Huh?
- [Shiro] I know. - [Keith] It's okay.
- We have to get back to the Castle. - [Shiro] ...are not going anywhere!
Huh? [Panting]
[gasps and panting]
What was that? Were those visions real?
[Krolia] Time collapses this close to dark stars.
Going through the light triggers glimpses of the past and the future.
It's amazing how the Galran subroutines translate almost one-to-one
with the Altean axiom inhibitors.
Okay, Lance, let's test this puppy.
[beeping]
Oh, I think lover boy Lance is distracted not thinking about the princess.
Ow! What the heck?
Huh?
Oh, Lance, could you stop daydreaming about me and test the connection?
Ha ha. Not funny.
And I'm not daydreaming about you. I mean her.
That's good. Because it seems like Allura's got a thing with Lotor.
- A thing? - Yeah, a thing.
Probably gonna get married,
have babies with beautiful, flowing, white alien hair, all that stuff.
He's probably proposing right now.
- Princess Allura, will you marry me? - Oh, Lotor.
You bad boy, of course, I will.
- [laughing] - [groaning]
[grunts]
- [thrusters whoosh] - [grunts]
Keith! You're getting too close to the gravity wells.
Use your thrusters.
[Keith] I'm trying!
[grunts]
[Krolia] Grab my hand!
[beeping]
Is it possible?
The signature is nearly identical to the Red Lion's.
We should obtain visual confirmation before we call it in.
Negative. We've never received another reading like this before.
There's a Voltron Lion on this planet. I'm sure of it.
Call it in immediately. That's an order.
I said, call it in.
- Vrepit Sa. - [accelerator clicks]
You think you can take all the glory for yourself?
- I'm not looking for glory. - [weapon firing]
- [alarm beeps] - [groans]
- [grunting] - [beeping and blaring]
[explosion]
[metal creaking]
[grunts softly]
[gasping]
That's how you and Dad met.
How did you know to look for the Blue Lion on Earth?
[Krolia] We didn't.
After Sendak found the Red Lion, the Galra engineered a way
to pick up on the lions' signatures from close range.
Zarkon had thousands of scouts searching for them.
The Blade of Marmora made sure to embed agents
in as many of those scout teams as possible,
in an effort to prevent the Galra from obtaining any more lions.
I happened to be in the right place at the right time.
- [distant explosion] - [rumbling]
It's coming again!
[grunts]
[Krolia] I never thought I'd see another lion in my lifetime.
You've been telling me about this ship for months, but this is beyond words.
Are you sure you don't want me to contact the Garrison? They could help.
We've discussed this. It could put your entire civilization in jeopardy.
Does this mean you're gonna contact your people and continue your mission?
My ship being destroyed was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I wouldn't go back even if I could.
I have a new mission now.
I'm going to stay here and protect the Blue Lion.
I want to help.
[Keith] You were stuck on Earth.
There was no better place I could be.
- [squeaking] - Oh, great.
You guys here to make fun of me, too?
[gags and screams]
What are you doing? Leave me alone!
[squeaking]
[groans]
Can't a man sulk in peace?
- [mice squeaking] - Hmm.
I'm pathetic. I used to make fun of people who would get their hearts broken.
Heck, I was the one breaking hearts!
[squeaking]
I guess I never knew what it meant to like someone the way I like Allura.
Allura's not like any other girl I've ever met before.
Probably because she's an alien, but still.
She's smart, courageous, and makes me want to be a better person.
That is so weird to say.
And I can't tell her how I feel. She wouldn't take me seriously anyway.
I don't have anything to offer.
I'm just a boy from Cuba, not a space prince like Lotor.
[snoring]
Are you guys even listening?
[grunting]
[Keith] The rate we're going, it's gonna take a lifetime to reach the end.
[Krolia] We have to keep moving, however long it takes.
Without food and water, we're never gonna make it.
We have to come up with another plan.
[rumbling]
[Keith] Wha...
- What are those things? - [Krolia] I don't know.
But whatever they are,
these creatures seem to know their way through the quantum abyss
without being drawn into the space-time drop-offs.
[Keith] Amazing.
[Krolia] Here it comes.
Brace yourself!
[high-pitched ringing]
They're scouts. They must've picked up the Blue Lion's signal.
We need to stop them before they report back to their command.
- What's the plan? - I have explosives.
They aren't powerful enough to destroy a fighter.
If we detonate them in the intake valves,
they could stop them from taking off.
When they're set, use this to detonate the charges and take out the ships.
What will you be doing?
I'm gonna find out what the scouts know and get rid of them.
[engine revs]
[beeping]
[weapon charging]
[panting]
Aaah! [Groans]
[grunts and groans]
[rapid beeping]
[weapon cocks and charges]
[man] Drop your weapon.
I spotted her sneaking in.
She was with a primitive who was setting explosives on our ships.
He's been neutralized.
No!
I said drop your weapon.
[grunts]
[groaning]
I must go.
I thought you'd seen enough war.
If they found the Blue Lion once, they'll find it again.
I need to report back to the Blades and stop the Galra from the inside.
I'm sorry.
But this is the best way for me to keep you both safe.
[kiss smacks]
This is for Keith.
He may need it someday.
[Keith] I finally understand why you left.
You put the mission above all else.
[Krolia] That's not true.
I left to protect the person I most love.
You.
- [rumbling] - [bellowing]
[Keith] It's another one of those creatures.
We have to get on that thing's back! It might be our best chance!
[panting]
[groaning]
[Keith] We made it.
Will this thing take us through the abyss?
[Krolia] We're about to find out.
[wind gusting]
[Krolia] It's creating its own atmosphere.
Keith... I think we've made it.
It's been two years. We can finally finish our mission.
[exhales]
You've done much today, Princess. You need your rest.
- We'll continue tomorrow. - There's still a long way to go,
but I'm proud of what we've accomplished together.
None of this would be possible... without you.
Oh, hello, there.
You look cleaner than usual. Did someone give you a bath?
What? Lance washed you?
That's strange. Are you friends now?
[squeaking]
Really, you are? How did this happen all of a sudden?
[squeaking]
Oh.
He said that?
- [Keith] Look, a planet. - [Krolia] I'm picking up some readings
similar to those of the quintessence Ranveig found.
This is the source of the readings. Let's go check it out.
[thumping]
[Keith] What is this place?
[birds chirping and singing]
- [humming] - [gasps]
Wait, I hear something.
[humming]
[gasps]
An Altean.
