Chapter 1: The Light Of Zaidaron!
Space, the final frontier, a wonderful place to travel and filled with all kinds of energy. Right now, we find ourselves in a place that looked like something out of a rich persons mansion. The someone was sitting in a chair looking out the window of his humble abode. He had short dark and grayish hair, brown eyes and was smoking an electronic cigarette as he is met by a tall platinum blonde woman with a slender, yet built figure dressed in a business suit with her hair in a ponytail and she had purple eyes under a set of glasses while her cleavage showed.
The man in the chair was revealed to be Samuel Feltcher-Danielson and the woman was one of his beautiful secretaries, Felicity Drake. She was also a field agent and martial artists. While Samuel was a wealthy tycoon and the founder of the Fletcher-Danielson Corporation and co-founder of a group known as the Space Riders, an elite team of soldiers, scientists and explorers that were tasked with keeping the peace. He co-founded this group with Ambassador Hikaru Hardy-Rudolf back when he was still a Commander at Galaxy Garrison and the Galaxy Alliance has been a massive supporter of the Space Riders.
"Damn what a day." said Felicity, as she sat on the desk in a sexy way. "Lt. Sheppard sure got it done." she added, showing Sam the file she had tucked away in her cleavage. "She saved a bunch of lives. Especially during the Baltan Blitz. As well as keeping the peace in the universe." she then crossed her legs in a seductive fashion. "She did everything right, more than we could ever have hoped for. Saving the Colonies from being wiped out by the Baltan - even saving the Galaxy Garrison and the Council Of The Universe." she said, reading the file and continuing. "Humanity has finally earned the trust of every star system out there. As well as the trust of the Voltron Force..." she paused and had a concerned look on her face. "...and still it's not enough."
"The Garrison may be part of the council, and the sacrifices that were made may have earned ours and the Council's gratitude, but Lt. Sheppard remains our best hope." said Samuel, denoting this to be a new perspective on things.
Felicity then gets up and walks over to his desk. "But they're sending her and her team to fight denizens from the planet Doom, Zarkon's territory." she said to him. "We both know that Zarkon, his son Lotor and their minions are not the only threat." she then places her hands on her hips and adds, "The Baltan and other Kaiju are still out there."
Samuel then added, "And it's up to the Voltron Force and us to stop them."
"Will they be able to trust us?" asked Felicity.
Samuel nodded, "They will, we just have to win them over."
Felicity then looked out the window with her arms folded to make her breasts look bigger. "And Lt. Sheppard, they'll follow her and her allies. She's a hero, an icon to the Garrison. But she's just one woman. If we lose her, humanity and the Voltron Force might fall with her."
Samuel thought about that for a moment and said, "Then see to it that we don't lose her at all."
Felicity then figured out what to do. "If the need should arise, I will activate the Revivalknight Project."
Samuel smiled lightly, "I have no doubt you will, Felicity. Get to it right away." he said, as Felicity exited the room, her hips swaying from side to side as her butt began to bounce in sync with her legs moving.
A few moments during this, we see a lone star-ship flying on by in a part of space called the Aquarius Galaxy. It had a grayish blue, stainless steel white and silver paint job. On the sides of it, the word "Shadow Tiger" could be seen on it. And inside, a whole bunch of people could be seen walking around the inner workings of the ship. One of them was looking at what looked like a map of the entire galaxy.
The man in front of the ship, being the helmsman, began the preparations after it had made a successful jump from hyperspace. "FTL Drives have been disengaged." he said, going over the equipment of the vessel. "The Emission sinks are a go. The Board is green...Excellent, we're running silent now." replied the helmsman. He had a short beard that was reddish-brown and right behind him was a man with a thinning head of grayish hair and was dressed in an brownish-gray uniform that had the symbol for Galaxy Garrison on it.
"We're wasting our time out here." said the man, who apparently was the Navigator. His name was Lawrence Prestonson. "For the past several days we have been out here searching up and down this entire sector and no sign of any of Zarkon's reptilian minions anywhere." he complained.
The helmsman turned and said, "Seven ships went missing out here three days ago. Something must have happened to them."
"My money is on Slavers, Pirates or even Thugs." Prestonson said to the helmsman. "This quadrant is full of them."
Just then, something came up on the scanner. The female ensign said, "I'm picking up some kind of long-range signal. Unidentified vessel approaching. Looks like a cruiser ship of some kind." she told them.
The helmsman began searching the monitor in front of him and said, "Don't seem to match any of the known signatures we've seen before."
Outside the ship, another vessel begins to approach them, this had a bit of a dark and vile vibe to it as it had the design of a monster on the front end of it with a black, red and purple color scheme to boot. The "Shadow Tiger" began to move away from it fast. The female Ensign added, "Cruiser is changing course." as the cruiser began to move itself. "It's now on course to intercept."
Prestonson did not believe it, "Couldn't be. Our stealth systems are on." he said. "There's no way a Drule ship could-" he was about to continue, but was interrupted by the Helmsman.
"It's not the Drule." he said, fearing the worst was coming. "It's aiming at us! BRACE FOR IMPACT!"
The cruiser began to fire some kind of laser from the front of the ship and it glowed red, shooting at the "Shadow Tiger" as it tried to evade said laser, only to be shot by it anyway and causing Prestonson to get hit and fall down as it the impact was so hard, he was killed. "Prestonson!" said the female Ensign, panicking in fear as the ship was hit yet again with he alarm going off. Only this time, she got hit by something and she ended up dying too, as her's and Prestonson's bodies were lit on fire.
"Our shields are down and I'm reading multiple hull breaches!" the Helmsman said, giving the status. "Our weapons are offline too! Somebody get the damn fire out!" he said, pointing to the fire that was on deck. He saw that the attackers began to fire on them again. This time it caused even more damage, but a ball of light began to come that way.
However, a someone in a white armored spacesuit with silver skin and green eyes with long black hair began running across the ship and ran into a young woman with black hair that had a red streak in it and blue eyes. She was dressed in a Galaxy Garrison spacesuit and had the name Sheppard on the tag. "Lauren, there you are!" said the alien.
The woman, now revealed to be Lauren relayed what she had done, "Distress beacon ready for launch." she said.
"Will the Garrison get here in time?" asked the female alien. But then something behind the woman blew up, prompting them to dodge it and the Sheppard woman grabbed what looked like a fire extinguisher.
Sheppard then said, "The Garrison won't abandon us. We just need to hold on." as she began putting out the fire in the area that she and the woman in the white spacesuit were at. Sheppard then said. "Get everyone to the escape shuttles while I find the Captain!" she added.
The woman with the silver skin said, "But Burner is still at the helm of the ship. He won't evacuate!" she said, going over to Sheppard. "I'm not leaving either!" she denoted, not wanting to abandon the woman in question.
'There's no time to argue.' she thought to herself, before she saw another coil pipe break and said, "You need to get everyone inside the evacuation crafts. I'll handle Burner and find the Captain!" she said to her.
The silver-skinned woman was worried about the Lieutenant's well-being and felt upset to see her do this by herself. "Lauren..." she stared off as the place was collapsing.
"Octavianna, go. Now!" she orders trying to keep something in place, before getting blasted.
The woman, now revealed to be Octavianna nodded her head in confirmation, "Aye, aye." she said, as she bolted to some of the evacuation spots. The one called Sheppard began trying to re-establish the coils to send the evacuation shuttles out and then pressed a button on the console. Several crew members all bolted to the shuttles with Octavianna coming in to instruct them. "Everybody, get inside! Go, go, go!" the lot of them all got inside with different personnel strapping into the seats. As another made it inside, some other member of the crew got killed by an explosion that occurred near the the tunnel. Octavianna got inside the shuttle she was at and strapped herself inside as the doors sealed shut.
The outside of the ship began to open up several hatches showing where the evacuation shuttles were at and one by one they quickly ejected from the ship. The outer hull of the ship began burning as it crashed down near a planet in this galaxy. Sheppard then felt glad she got what remained of the crew off the ship and all the way to safety. "Glad that's done with, now to get Burner off the ship." She said, going back to the front of the ship to help her friend called Burner before he died with the ship.
The fires were blazing as she did her best to avoid getting singed as she walked around. "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! This is the Shadow Tiger, we are under attack by an unknown enemy!" said Burner over the comm-link. "We've suffered heavy damage and were about to crash, send help!" Sheppard then went up the stairs to the right. "Come on, baby. Hold together. Hold together for me!" Burner said again over the speakers, as Sheppard went outside and saw that the ceiling of the ship had been torn off, showing what had been happening outside of the ship. Debris was flying everywhere and due to the low gravity Sheppard began running very slowly to the front of the ship.
After finally reaching the front, she sees Burner still trying to keep the ship under control. "Come on, Burner! We have to get out of here!" she said, pulling on the man's arm, but he refused.
"No!" he said back to her. "I won't abandon the Shadow Tiger! I can still save her!" he told her, wanting to be the hero.
But Lauren was very firm about this, "Don't throw your life away, Burner!" she said. "The Shadow Tiger's lost. Going down with it won't change anything!"
At first, Burner was a little bewildered to hear her say that, but then accepted it as such. "Yeah...Okay. Help me up, Lauren."
"Gotcha." she said, as their ship continued to slowly descend onto the planet below. But the enemy vessel moved more towards them both.
Burner looked up and said, "Oh damn, their coming around for another attack!" feeling frightened by all of this. The enemy ship fired their laser again, hitting the hallway in the front of the ship. Sheppard ran to the other side to see what it was and she had to get Burner out of there due to the laser heading their way, so she ran back and quickly grabbed Burner and got him out of the cockpit chair. "Hey, watch the arm!" he said as Lauren grabbed his arm and carried him on her shoulder to an escaped pod that was the last one on the ship.
*KABOOM*
An explosion happened as the ship began to fall apart like a mad dog was chewing through it. She was flung halfway across the front of the wrecked ship and reached the launch switch for the evacuation shuttle Burner was in, "Lieutenant!" Burner called out to her. "LAUREN!" he screamed as his shuttle jettisoned from the wrecked ship as another explosion happened and after Burner's shuttle left, the ship was destroyed and Lauren Sheppard was now drifting in space as she watched in horror as her home away from home fell at the hands of this unknown enemy.
The force of the blast was so strong, it sent her hurdling toward the planet below. Her oxygen pack began leaking and she tried to switch on the reserves but it was no use, so she found a lone escape pod and used it to head down to the planet below, her air slowly running out as the enemy ship left the sector behind and made a jump into hyperspace, going where no one could find them.
However, little did anyone of them know someone had been roaming around the very planet that Lauren Sheppard's escape pod fell to upon the destruction of her ship. This someone was a teenage male in origin and he had been dressed in a hard-suit with a helmet that was golden yellow, blue, red and green in color scheme and he started searching.
"Man, I hope I find some good wreckage, and not the God Awful kind this time." he said, looking around. The boy then saw something burning up in the sky and it quickly fell in the direction he was going. He started running towards where it looked like the burning object was gonna crash at. However, as he was running, he spotted something on the ground, it was glowing while it was encased in stone.
'Hmm, what's this doohickey?' he thought. He picked it up and it looked
When he began searching through the rubble, he saw an arm sticking out and checked the pulse on it, it was faint but he could hear it. "Someone is barely alive, but if I hurry, I might be able to save them." he thought. He got all the rocks out of the way and found the body of the busty member of the Garrison looking dead, and nearly would have died if he had not found her body in the nick of time. "Holy jumping banana boats!" he said in a frenzy. "This is Lauren Sheppard, one of the Galaxy Garrison officers!" he got a good look at her face, even though it was covered by dirt and a little bit of blood. "Oh, fuck, she's dying! If I don't get her to a hospital soon, she'll lose her life!"
So, with that said, he bolted out the rubble field and ran all the way back to his vehicle. He still had his cell-phone on him, but then decided, 'I can't call Galaxy Garrison Command right now! There's no time!' in his head. He had originally intended to return the body to Sky Marshall Wade, but when he heard about Wade's corruption a while back, he decided to turn to a different group.
He then heard the sound of roaring and he turned around to see the cause of it all, it was a bunch of insects running amok around the place. These were giant insects called Thrash Chompers, because, they thrashed their victims around before chomping on them.
He ran, and ran, and ran, until at last he arrived at his vehicle that would lead him back to where he came from. He started up the ignition and managed to get away from the creatures. He covered the woman up in a blanket and wiped his forehead. "Phew, thank God we got away from those riffraff!" said the boy, as he panted in exhaustion.
After racing several miles, he finally arrived at the place in question. He then picked Lauren up and took her out of his vehicle, racing into the front door. Rushing inside the Medical Facility, he held Lauren in his arms as he went through the doors in a panic. Everyone who was in the waiting room in the entrance way all stared at him with inquiry in their minds. He looked worried and saw one of the medical staff on hand.
"Hey, Doctor! I need your help! Can I get some medical help please?!" he said, racing up to the doctor in question and showed him the woman he brought with him. Some of the people there were gasping in fright when they saw Lauren's unconscious body over at the medical desk. "I found this woman near dehydration, starvation and she was also bleeding from all this! I found her in an escape pod that crashed on Stepper Hill near the city limits! You gotta make sure she stays alive!"
"Listen, kid. I'm Dr. Tenzin, head of surgery." said the head doctor, now revealed to be named Tenzin. "We're dealing with a contamination of some sorts with a type of ooze. Strangely enough, it's not lethal or threatening, so we're not gonna be of any aid for an unconscious woman anytime soon."
"C'mon, man!" The boy got out as he complained in a blunt manner. "I am freaking serious here! She needs some help! ASAP!"
After hearing him complain he could not stand him being in the room. "Now, look." said Tenzin, with a furiously stern stare in his eyes. "Are you going to leave, or am I gonna have you carried out-!" he was cut off when suddenly...
*SMACK!*
Just then, a rookie doctor with short reddish-blonde hair and green eyes in a long-sleeve coat with a different logo on the shoulders went up to Tenzin and smacked him upside the face so hard, there was a handprint on the left side of his face. "That's enough, Tenzin!" said the rookie doctor, snapping at the head doctor. "Have you forgotten about what it means to be a doctor?!" he demanded. "We help people AND save lives! That's our job, you fucking coward!"
Tenzin was all shook up about this and felt like he was in an impossible situation. "Um...Leon, I didn't mean to be so harsh." he said, feeling defeated. "I just have a lot on my mind and I wasn't thinking straight." he rubbed his head in a saddened state before saying, "I-I-I'll leave it to you."
"Alright." said the rookie doctor, now called Leon as he approached the boy. "Look, I might be an employee here, be I'm actually in charge of a place called the Revivalknight Project. So don't worry about a thing, kiddo. Me and my partner Haru, we'll be able to help your friend out."
The look on the boy's face told them that he was relieved. "Oh, thank God I was worried I'd get thrown aside." said the boy. "My name's Shane, Shane Oliver. I live here with my mom and little brother."
"Nice to meet you, Shane Oliver." said the rookie doctor, shaking Shane's hand. "I'm Leon, Dr. Leon Parker. Now, let's see if we can find out who she is as we go to my special lab on the other side of the complex."
Shane felt a little bit of relief, "Thank you Dr. Parker!" he said. The doctor, now revealed to be named Leon Parker brought forth a gurney and Shane placed Lauren Sheppard on it to make her comfortable as they bolted to the lab Leon spoke of.
The lab had a connection tube that made for a makeshift hallway and after finally reaching the lab, they see another young doctor who is dressed in a lab coat and he had short green hair and a gem on his forehead, this was Haru Bristow, Leon's partner at this facility. "Haru, we have an emergency! This woman fell to the planet and we have to keep her alive!" said Leon.
"Everything's been prepped and is ready to revive her." said Haru, revealing that everything was in place, but then he noticed the young man who came with Leon. "Who's this guy supposed to be?"
Leon explains, "This is the boy who found her as she fell to the planet, his name is Shane Oliver." as he introduced the boy to his partner. "I offered him to help us out with this."
At first, Haru did not know what to make of all this, but he agreed to it anyway. "We do need all the help we can get." said Haru, "Glad to have you here, Shane. Grab a slicker, some gloves, cap and face mask and we'll get you ready."
Leon went over to the computer and is contacted by the same man who was at his house earlier, it was Samuel Fletcher-Danielson on the screen. "Sir, I report to you with good news." he said.
"What is it, Leon?" asked Samuel.
He showed the man in question what had been going on. "This woman, whoever she is, fell to the planet and here is the boy who saved her." he showed him the image of the boy. "Shane Oliver is a resident of this planet, he lives here with his mom and little brother."
Samuel the spotted the woman, "That is Lauren Sheppard, Lieutenant of the Galaxy Garrison ship, Shadow Tiger, which was recently destroyed over the planet you're on now!" he said.
After hearing what Samuel just said to him, Leon was wide-eyed in shock about this. "Lauren Sheppard?! She's a war hero!" he said, feeling excited about this. "If she dies, we might lose against the ones who attacked her!"
"See to it that we DON'T lose her." said Fletcher-Danielson, as he gave the order. "Activate the project!"
Leon saluted and said, "Yes sir! Dr. Parker out!" he signed out of the monitor and went over to his video logbook. "Dr. Leon Parker's log, Stardate; 51997.9, we are ready to begin with the project. Lieutenant Lauren Sheppard has been recovered quickly than expected. The RevivalKnight Project will proceed as planned, we are not gonna let Lauren Sheppard die!"
As he spoke into the video, he activated a few machines that accurately got a few pieces of shrapnel out of her body that she had sustained before the crash and a few machines were injected into her body via the needle that was on the robotic arm when some nanobots began repairing the tissue damage she endured and the machine began a diagnosis on her heart which was behind her gigantic breasts and the microscopic machines found the shrapnel in her heart and repaired the damage that it did to it and the robotic arm began removing the shrapnel from her body all over the place. Shane also got a few things to help them wait as they began to revive her.
The year is 21XX, Humanity has opened up the door to the stars thanks to new technology that they discovered on Kerberos, one of Pluto's moons. They discovered technology made by a race of beings known as the Paladonians, a race of ancient knights who traveled around the cosmos 40,000 years ago and worked alongside the Arusians, a peaceful race that was never war-minded, but developed scientific weapons of defense in case they were invaded.
Years later, after the Paladonians abruptly vanished, the Arusians had been attacked by a race called the Drule, a war-faring species from the Planet Doom led by the tyrannical King Zarkon who sent his Robeast Gladiators to attack. However, the Arusians had one defense, the most powerful and invincible robot ever created, they called him...Voltron, Defender Of The Universe.
But in another universe stood the Land Of Light in a place called the M-78 Nebula. In the past, a denizen of the Land Of Light was sent to dispose of creatures known as Kaiju and send them to M-90, The Monster Graveyard. But one of them, Bemlar escaped and headed for Earth. A group called the Science Patrol had almost lost their member, Shin Hayata. Shin was saved by someone from M-78, who called himself...Ultraman, a super-powered giant from another galaxy.
For years, the Earth and humanity in general had been protected by Ultraman throughout his generations, from Shin Hayata the original, Dan Moroboshi/Ultra Seven, Zoffy, Hideki Goh/Ultraman Jack, Seiji Hokuto/Ace, Taro, Leo, Astra, 80, Jack Shindo, Kenichi Kai, Daigo Madoka/Tiga, Asuka Shin/Dyna, Gamu Takiyama/Gaia, Musashi Haruno/Cosmos, Ren Senjyu/Nexus, Kaito Touma/Max, Mirai Hibino/Mebius all the way to others.
A renegade Ultra named Belial had sought to use his dark powers to revive every monster from M-90 and destroy the Ultra Council and drain them of their powers, freezing them forever. But, Leo and Astra along with Ultraman King had been training a young Ultra who was immature for a while, but finally wised up. This one was Ultraman Zero, the son of Seven. Avenging his father, Zero, Hayata, Dyna, Mebius and Leo were able to bring the source of the Ultra's power, the Plasma Spark back to the Land Of Light and revive Seven and the other denizens.
But others had followed in Zero's footsteps, Hikaru Raido/Ultraman Ginga, Sho/Victory, Daichi Ozora/Ultraman X, Gai Kurenai/Orb, Riku Asakura/Ultraman Geed, the son of Belial, who Zero trained and became allies with to fight Kei Fukuide while assuming the disguise of Leito Igarugi, a salaryman who had been with his wife and daughter. But the Minato Brothers, Katsumi and Isami had gained the power of Rosso and Blu to become Ultraman Rubue and it would not belong before they would meet Hiroyuki Kudo/Ultraman Taiga, the son of Taro and Zero's cousin.
However, one of Taiga's brothers in arms, Fuma, had fallen in love with a human scientist and together they had a child when they settled down on a planet in another galaxy called Zaidaron where they had raised their child to be upstanding, self-sacrificing, courageous, honorable and heroic to the people in his universe and any other place.
Now, a new battle begins...King Zarkon, his witch Haggar, Prince Lotor; Zarkon's son and his forces of Doom are making an alliance with the Seijin and Kaiju to finally take over the universe. However, standing in their way is a group called the Voltron Force. Haggar thought she had completely destroyed Voltron, but she had broken him up into five robotic lions and are now piloted by five space explorers who escaped from Zarkon's slave dungeon.
Plus, Ultraman Fuma's son has just proved how heroic he can be when he guided a group of survivors to escape from death. And from now on, he will defend the universe by bonding with a human. And these shall be remembered as the further adventures of...
ウルトラマンザイダル
ULTRAMAN ZAIDAR
2 YEARS LATER...
We find ourselves in a different star system, light years away from Earth. This is the planet Arus, long ago, there was a legend on the planet. The legend of Voltron: Defender Of The Universe. A very powerful giant robot, he is loved by all good people and feared by those who do evil. As Voltron's legend grew, peace settled across the galaxy on Earth. A Galaxy Alliance was formed, together with the good planets and space colonies of the solar system, they maintained peace throughout the universe until a new horrible menace threatened the galaxy. Voltron was made out of five robot lions and each one has a pilot, Keith Kogane, the leader, pilot of Black Lion. Allura, princess of Arus, pilot of the Blue Lion. Hunk Garrett, the strongman, pilot of Yellow Lion, Darrel 'Pidge' Stoker, the computer expert, pilot of Green Lion. And Lance McClain, the rebellious daredevil pilot of Red Lion.
However, when one of them was not needed, another would step in. There have only been two of them so far, Takashi Shirogane, or Shiro for short, and Sven Holgersson from Norway. To this day, the lot of them have become known as the Voltron Force.
They have always fought for what was right against the evil King Zarkon, his son Prince Lotor, Witch Haggar and their forces of Planet Doom, who want nothing more than to destroy all that is good. However, Zarkon, Lotor and Haggar are about to have new allies.
Right now, a lone ship is approaching the planet. This was a new one-seater, exploration cruiser made by the Arusian diplomat, Coran Smythe and inside of the craft we see a young man who had short spiky dark brown hair and glasses over his eyes dressed in a green, white and black uniform that a little bit of silver on the chestplate. This was Darrel 'Pidge' Stoker, the Green Lion pilot and with him on the monitor was an old man in brown, gold, white and black garments, he had messy, yet groomed brown hair and eyes while he also had a mustache. This was Coran Smythe, the Arusian diplomat and a mechanical genius.
"So, Coran, are you sure I'll find what you're looking for out here?" asked Pidge.
Coran nodded to confirm that. "Indeed so, Pidge." he said. "If this item is there as you said, we might be able to complete your invention." he added. "Lance will be meeting with you there as well. Wonder what he wants to tell you."
"Me too." replied Pidge.
The cruiser began to approach an area near a placid and calm lake where a big metal structure stood, this was the famed Castle Of Lions, headquarters of the Voltron Force and outside of the place we see a young man with long brown hair and hazel eyes dressed in a uniform that looked similar to Pidge's but had a red part of the color scheme, this was Pidge's teammate Lance McLean, pilot of the Red Lion and rebellious daredevil.
Pidge's cruiser landed in front of the Castle and he exited to see his teammate standing right there with a greeting smile. "Lance, how goes it?" asked Pidge, running up to Lance to hug him. The two of them were best friends at the Galaxy Garrison and they were even put on the same team.
"Just fine, dude." Lance replied in a surfer accent. "Looks like I'll be joining you to find that item you need for your invention."
"Thanks." said Pidge. "So, will Hunk be joining us?"
Lance shook his head and said, "No, he's been busy with his workshop and Vincent and Larmina are helping him too."
(A/N: Yeah, I thought it over and felt like adding the characters from Voltron Force, which I watched on Nicktoons before, to this story.)
Pidge then thought about the other members of the team, "Well, how are Keith and Allura doing?"
"Knowing those two, they might be a little preoccupied with something else." Lance said, winking at that denotation.
"Oh, I don't know about that, Lance." said the voice of a teenage boy and there stood a boy with short dark brown hair, blue eyes and was dressed in a white T-shirt, black jacket and pants with boots that matched. This was Daniel, he was a major supporter of the Voltron Force and adopted brother to Keith. "Last I saw them, they were in the west wing of the castle."
Lance had a light smile on his face, "Heh, now we know." he said. "Thanks for the Heads-Up Daniel."
"No prob." said Daniel, as he and Lance put their arms to each other. "So, what's going on, fellas?" he asked.
Pidge replied, "Well, I was going to pick up a device that can complete my new invention and Hunk is busy with Vince and Larmina at his workshop."
"So, whatcha say, Danny? Wanna come with us?" asked Lance.
Daniel nodded, "Sure." he agreed to it and the three of them all loaded up and decided to go. "So, where we going?" he asked.
"Well, we're going to head over to the Techno Hut to get the part in question, should be a few clicks away from Arus." said Pidge.
They buckled up and zoomed of to the Techno Hut at the Space Mall.
Yet at the same time, we see a ball of energy heading on a collusion course for Castle Doom, the flagship capital of the Drule empire run by the tyrant King Zarkon and there he sat on his throne. He had indigo skin, pointy ears eyes with pupils that looked like they were slit and they were yellow and he had his crown on his head while his scepter was in his hand.
He was surrounded by his subjects and sentry robots which all surrounded the floor and balconies of the throne room and by his side was what looked like an old woman who was in a cloak and holding a cat, this was Haggar the Witch. A long time ago, Haggar disguised herself as beautiful goddess and went into space. When Voltron came near her, she placed a curse on him. But she could not destroy the robot completely, she broke him up into five parts, each part a robot lion.
Right now, we see someone running into the throne room and the guards all point their guns at the being, he was purplish, had green reptilian skin, a bionic eye, mechanical legs and an arm to match, and with him was a tall red woman with a helmet, armor and had yellow eyes.
"HALT, WHO GOES THERE!?" said all the guards in unison.
The lot of them were approached by a being that had a cape and was dressed in black, maroon and gold with long white hair and had red eyes. This was one of a race of aliens called Maguma, and he said, "Greetings King Zarkon!" bowing in front of him.
"Greetings, who are you?"
The alien began to introduce himself to the villain. "I am Maguma. I come here to propose an alliance with you."
Zarkon and Hagar were intrigued by the way he expressed it. "An alliance?"
Maguma nodded to confirm that. "Indeed, these are my associates, Belial, Ace Killer, the Baltan and Yarpool." it is then that several beings came forth and they all had different appearances, one was red, gold and brown with green eyes, one was red and black with a purple light on his chest and had fire colored eyes with massive claws and the other two were crab like and the last one looked like a lobster alien. These were, Belial, Ace Killer, a representative of the Baltan race and Yarpool.
Just then, in walked a Drule alien who looked younger than Zarkon, he had royal robes and long silver hair. This was Prince Lotor, Zarkon's son and heir to the throne. "Father, I have come home!" he said, kneeling before his father.
Zarkon walked off the throne and went up to Lotor, "Welcome my son." he said, hugging Lotor.
As this went on, back at the Castle Of Lions, we see Keith and Allura on the balcony of the West wing of the castle and in the distance there was the Arusian Mice, who had always been Allura's friends since she was a little girl. Keith Kogane had black hair that looked like he had a mullet and was dressed in a black T-shirt, dark-wash jeans, boots, finger-less gloves and a red jacket that had a big yellow line in his chest. Princess Allura had a pink dress on as her blonde hair was long and tied up in a ponytail and she had gorgeous blue eyes. She looked to be a little taller than she had been before, and her bust size had increased too.
The two of them were enjoying some time to admire the view from the castle. Keith had felt a little homesick for some time now, but Allura was holding him close to her. "Keith, something on your mind?" she asked.
The Kogane boy sighed and said, "Actually, yeah, there is. I just miss Earth. That, and I, well, miss my Dad." he admitted. Before he began piloting the Black Lion, Keith had lost his father due to him having a heart attack followed by a stroke.
Allura hugged him and buried his face into her chest, making him blush a little bit. "I know you miss Earth, but don't worry, you'll get to go there again." she said to him. "But until then, you're more than welcome to be here with me." she then kissed him on the lips, he kissed her back and they went back into the room and began making out on the guest bed in there.
Back on Shakarrdon IV, we see Shane Oliver, looking about two years older and helping out Leon Parker, Haru Bristow and another medical man named Michael Walters in his lab, Leon Parker also had been helping them with trying to make sure Lauren Sheppard would remain alive.
"Oh, Shane, come over here," said Leon.
Shane had shifted his focus to Leon. "Oh, uh, sorry Leon. I was lost in thought." he said.
The doctor then showed him the man who was there, "Shane Oliver, this is my mentor, Dr. Michael Walters. He did two tours as a member of Galaxy Garrison, and that was plenty for him." he introduced the man who was revealed to be his mentor. "Mike, this is Shane Oliver, he's been coming here for the past two years helping us keep Lauren Sheppard alive."
"Ah, good to finally meet you." said Mike, shaking hands with Shane.
As their conversation started, Haru sent the RevivalKnight workings all throughout Lauren's body, reconstructing her bones and revitalizing her blood as well as getting any shrapnel out of her heart and other organs, restoring and revitalizing it. After doing so, something beeped. "What the?" asked Haru.
Mike looked at something, "There, on that monitor! Something's wrong!"
They all rushed over to her. Leon looked at this, "She seems to be reacting to outside stimuli. Showing awareness of her surroundings." he pointed to his chart on the wall and saw what it looked like.
Lauren was breathing heavily and they all rushed to her body. Just then, someone walked into the room, it was Felicity Drake, coming in to check on things. Mike looked over to the other direction, "Felicity, glad you came by." said Mike.
"Thank you, what's going on?" asked Felicity.
Shane showed her what had been happening, "Ma'am, we think that Lauren Sheppard might be waking up." he said to her.
"Dammit, Parker, she's not ready yet!" she ordered Leon. "Give her the sedative!"
"Right away!" Leon raced over to his desk and got out some kind of sedative.
Felicity looked down at Lauren's body and said, "Miss Sheppard - don't try to move. Just lie still, try to stay calm as best you can."
Mike looked at the stats screen and saw what had been happening, "Her heart rate is still accelerating. And her brain activity is off the charts."
"Well, get bigger charts!" Felicity said, as Leon approached her.
Mike heard a multiple beep, "Her stats are pushing into the red, the sedatives not working!"
Shane felt like there was no time to lose. "Another dose, now!"
While Lauren was heavily breathing, Mike injected her with another sedative and she began falling back into unconsciousness. They all wiped their foreheads in relief and Mike showed the status. "Her heart rate is beginning to drop to normal," he said. "And her stats are falling back into normal range as well."
Shane wiped his forehead of sweat, "Phew, that was way too close. We almost lost her!"
Felicity then added what she was going to say as she looked over the woman in question. "Michael, I told you your estimates were off. Run the numbers again!" she ordered. She then allowed Shane to adjust the woman's head to have her laying comfortably.
Meanwhile, back aboard Zarkon's ship, he had concluded his meeting with Alien Bat, and they all spoke about it, "So, it seems we all agree that we can collaborate against the Voltron Force, right?!" said Zarkon.
The beings in his court and the other aliens all agreed to that. "Indeed so," said Bat.
But then, Maguma spoke up and said, "I have an inquiry."
"Yes, Maguma?" asked Haggar."
"Where shall we attack first?" asked Maguma.
They all spotted something in their sights. "There!" said Lotor, as he pointed out. "That planet…in the Aquarius Galaxy! That will be a perfect target!"
Dark Faust mused at this, "Hmmm, very intriguing."
"Yes," said Ace Killer. "Hmm, wait, I remember that planet! That's Shakarrdon IV!"
Zarkon wondered, "You've been here before?"
Maguma nodded, "Indeed we have." he said to the ruler of the Druel empire. "That is the sector where we destroyed this meddling space cruiser called the Shadow Tiger, most of the crew bailed out while others died on it."
The Druel soldier used his infrascanner to look down at the area, "It seems there is a human colony here. Neon-Gardens, as it's called." he reported.
"Ah, there are humans here!" said Haggar, cackling as she was. "What shall we do, your majesty?"
Zarkon rose up, "Hmm, well, it seems a Kaiju is resting here, so we will wake it up as well as send one of our Robeasts." he instructed.
"Yes, at once, your excellence!" said Zarkon's minions.
Baltan then said, "Belial, if you would do the honors of awakening in the Kaiju resting on the planet?"
"Sure thing, Baltan." said Belial, as he got out his staff and fired its energy beam down on the planet and hit the Kaiju directly. A moment later it woke up. It burst out of the ground and unleashed a powerful roar before starting its rampage. *YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONG* it roared really loud.
"Hehehe, it worked!" said Zarkon, as he turned his head over to Belial. "Impressive work Belial, most impressive!"
"Thank you, King Zarkon!" Belial bowed to Zarkon, as they both laughed together.
However, on the planet, Leon and his crew were about done, they had been spending several years on trying to keep Lauren alive and now, we see Shane outside of the room, and with him was a woman who had a similar hair color to him but it was auburn in origin. But she had the same eye color as Shane. This was Jane Oliver, Shane's mother. And with her was a boy who looked like he was 12 years old, his hair looked like Shane's only darker and he had a little scar on his shoulder, which he kept under his shirt. This was Shane's little brother, Trip.
"Mom, Trip, what are you guys doing here?" asked Shane.
Jane then said, "We came to check on you."
"We also wanted to see how you were doing here, big bro." Trip added.
Shane smiled at the two of them. He hugged them tenderly, and then Leon saw them, but he cleared his throat, "Ahem, who are these two?" he asked.
"It's alright Leon, they came to see me." said Shane. He then introduced them to the guys he was working with, "This is Dr. Leon Parker, Dr. Michael Walters and Haru Bristow. Guys, meet my family."
"I'm Jane Oliver, and this is my twelve-year-old son, Trip." Jane said introducing herself and her younger son. "I see you already know my older son, Shane."
"Well, nice to meet you, ma'am." said Leon. "Shane, I didn't know your mom and little brother were coming." he said to him.
"They've been worried about me." he said, telling them.
Just then, Haru wondered, "Uh, why isn't your dad with them?"
Jane was a little teary-eyed when hearing that, "My husband, Kelson, couldn't be here because years ago…he…died in an avalanche." she revealed.
The doctors all let out a gasp, "Is that true?" asked Haru.
After hearing that, Shane nodded, "Yeah, pretty much." he said. "I feel like I failed my dad, but I wouldn't fail again! So, I volunteer wherever I can and give hope to those who have none." he showed them how determined he was to do that.
Leon then put his hand on Shane's shoulder. "Even if you didn't, you've already been doing good by him." Said Leon. "You stayed strong and helped your mother and brother through your father's death and that on its own is a reason for any parent to be proud."
"You're right Leon, thank you." said Shane, feeling glad to have help from him. "Plus, if it wasn't for you and the guys, I wouldn't have been able to save the life of Lauren Sheppard," he added.
This left Jane and Trip confused, "Who's Lauren Sheppard?" asked.
"She's the human that helped our species get a seat at the council table and then some." Haru mentioned. "She's a hero who helped the Galaxy Garrison against the Baltan Blitz. And two years ago, your son saved her by bringing her here after finding her damaged body in an escape pod."
Jane gasped, "What!? Where is she now?" she asked.
"She's in this room." Leon said, showing the two that she had been unconscious on the bed.
When Jane saw her, "Whoa, she's a lovely woman." she said, looking at her. And then, she saw the gigantic bosom she was sporting. "Uh, how did her boobs get that big?" she asked.
"Ah, we had to remove some shrapnel from her chest and quite often whenever women have surgery for that in breast tissue it tends to heal back in a bigger size." Haru explained. "Also we have her on a new formula of liquid nutrition in her IV drip that could have assisted with the growth."
"You'd be surprised what can happen while recovering." Leon mentioned.
"Well, I hope she doesn't have any problems with her back when she wakes up." said Jane, feeling a little concerned about the woman.
Shane and the guys all nodded. "We'll put that as a concern on her chart and alert a chiropractor about it after she wakes up." Leon said, as he did a quick check of Lauren's vitals.
But then, something shook the room, as well as the whole facility, everyone got under a desk and little did they know, someone was lurking about hacking into some remote servers and avoiding the earthquake that was occurring outside the building. He was confused and yet bothered at the same time.
"What the hell was that?" he asked himself. But then, refocused himself. "Back to it!"
The earthquake still happened but then, all of a sudden it stopped. Shane, Leon, Jane, Trip and the guys all felt relieved to know they had survived, and Lauren was still recovering, and remained undisturbed. "Phew, we're still alive and Lauren is still among us!" said Haru, as he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shane and the others also sighed in relief, "What was that, an earthquake?" asked Trip.
"I think so, but it couldn't be right." said Michael, as he was bewildered. "We aren't near any fault lines."
But then, the mystery person had gotten out of the area of the building they were in and pressed something on his glove and then chuckled insidiously, "Now that that damned earthquake is over, time to get back on track!" he said, as he looked on. "Go forth, bots and kill everyone in there!" He ordered the security mechs to grab weapons and soon began firing at everyone in the facility. "They will all DIE for screwing me over!"
However, a female voice came over the intercom and Leon heard it, "Dr. Parker, bad news!" she said. The woman looked human and she had glasses on over her eyes and her hair was black with blonde streaks in it, plus she was wearing a hat with a red cross sign like how doctors had on their medical kits. "Leon, there's been an intruder and somehow he hacked our security robots and now they're killing the rest of the staff!" she said.
Leon and the guys all gasped, "WHAT!?" they all said in unison.
"Where are you now and can you avoid the hacked robots?" asked Leon to the woman.
"I'm in the shuttle bay, on one of the shuttles right now!" she revealed. "I'm about to make a getaway, and I'm not alone, four others are with me, they were injured, good thing I had enough items to heal them."
Leon looked at Haru, Michael, Shane and his family. "Hang in there, Carol, you'll make it! I believe in you!" said Leon, giving her the confidence she needed.
"Thanks Leon." she said. "Look, you guys better get out of there too, ALL the bots have gone haywire and almost all the staff either escaped or were killed. You better get out of here before they get you!"
"Gotcha!" said Haru. "But, what about Lauren, are we just gonna let her die at the hands of these berserk mechs?"
"She'll wake up soon!" said Shane, telling them this. "I know she will."
They all nodded in agreement with him, and grabbed some weaponry to deal with the out of control robots, "Lock n load, people!" said Michael, cocking his gun. "Let's do this thing!"
Shane then turned over to Leon, and then felt a thud and heard a roar, *YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONG* The sound was of the monster Zarkon and Belial had awakened.
"Things went from bad to worse." Leon said with worry.
Shane looked out the window and saw what was coming their way, "What is that!?" he wondered in fright.
Leon and the others saw the creature out there, "Oh man….A Kaiju!" he said. "We gotta get the Voltron Force here on the double!" added Leon.
"On that, I agree!" Shane said.
And then, the robots began shooting at them and they avoided their attacks as Leon sent out the signal.
The alarm went off in the Castle Of Lions and Keith raced with Allura, all the way down to the control room. Hunk, Vince and Larmina also heard it and outside the Castle, Lance and Pidge got the item he was looking for and raced back to the Castle.
"Keith, we heard the alarm!" said Lance, "What's happening?"
Keith pressed a few buttons on the console and replied, "Looks like we're about to find out, Lance!" He then got the location of the alarm and where it was coming from. The long range scanner then detected it coming from one of the sections far off from the Milky Way. "That's the Aquarius Galaxy, Planet Shakarrdon IV." said Keith.
"Oh man, it sounds like something is attacking the place!" said Daniel.
Pidge turned his attention to Keith. "Can you find out who is contacting us?" he asked.
Keith nodded, "Yes." He pressed the response button on the console as Coran walked into the room with a man who had a broad face and a strong jaw, piercing dark gray eyes and a long, straight nose. He has a jagged pink scar running across the bridge of his nose, he has pale skin and dark hair styled in an undercut and was dressed in a newer, more streamlined Galaxy Garrison uniform that was white, black and silver. This was Takashi Shirogane, or Shiro as his friends called him. "And from what the scanners say, it's coming from that building on the planet. It looks like some kind of medical lab."
"Let's see if I can establish contact with them." said Shiro, pressing a few buttons to get the frequency right. "Alright, all you."
Keith then spoke up, "Attention medical laboratory of Shakarrdon IV, this is Commander Keith Kogane of the Voltron Force." he started off. "What is your situation?"
The video showed an image of Leon and Mike in the lab fighting off some kind of threat. "This is Dr. Leon Parker of the Neon-Gardens Hospital and part of the Revivalknight Project!" he then showed what was going on. "This is Michael Walters, Haru Bristow and Shane Oliver, they were helping me with making sure a young woman named Lauren Sheppard stayed alive."
Shiro and Keith were both shocked to hear that name, they met her while they were cadets at the Garrison, "Lauren!?" they said in unison.
Allura looked at them with an inquiring look. "You know her?" she asked.
"Yeah, she was the one who made the guys who bullied me and my friend leave us alone." said Shiro, denoting that to be true. He then walked up to the monitor and spoke to Leon, "She is a valuable ally to the Garrison! What happened to her? I thought she died along with some of the crew from her old ship, the Shadow Tiger!"
Mike then said, "That's what we thought too, but she crashed on this planet and was saved by a boy named Shane Oliver!" he said, as he fired at a rogue mech, blasting it to pieces. "And right now, it seems Zarkon has sent one of his Robeasts here, along with something else!"
"You gotta get over here immediately!" said Leon, adding to the situation.
Keith knew how serious this situation was so he agreed, "We'll be right there, in the meantime, keep Lauren out of the clutches of the Robeast and those robots!" he instructed.
"Roger that!" the two doctors said, as they signed out.
Keith also hung up on his end before turning to his teammates. "Okay everyone, let's get to the Lions, track down the Robeast and then form up!" he ordered. "Shiro, lock in our coordinates and Voltron Force, let's mobilize!"
"RIGHT!" they all said in unison.
And with that said, they went down the tubes and landed into the shuttles that took them to their Lions. The lifts took them into the cockpits and one by one, they all inserted their keys, the Black Lion activated first, then red, green, blue and yellow. Black Lion flew off it's pedestal in the front gate of the Castle, Red Lion launched out of the volcano, Green Lion charged out from the tree it was inside of and jumped into the sky while the Blue Lion zoomed out of the waters of the lake around the castle and Yellow Lion came out from under the sands of the nearby desert and took to the skies with the rest of the lion bots as they headed into space and towards Shakarrdon IV.
However, inside of the medical laboratory of the Revivalknight Project, as Leon, Haru, Michael, Shane and his family made their way out, the other doctors who began working on bringing Lauren Sheppard back to the land of the living. Thanks to a new form of technology that they had made and so, Leon, Shane, Mike, Jane, Trip and a female doctor who was in there at the time, all grabbed some weaponry to defend themselves from the attack. Haru went ahead of them to secure an Evac Shuttle that would get them off the planet and into good hands. And as they did so, an alarm went off and Leon spoke into the loudspeakers.
Lauren was still on the bed, looking as she did before her crash and near death, however, she began to stir. "Wake up Lauren Sheppard, wake up!" he said. Just then, there was a bang coming from outside the building and the force of it was so strong it woke her up. "Ms. Sheppard, do you hear me? You've got to get out of that bed now - the whole facility is under attack!" Leon replied. She slowly opened her eyes and felt another shakedown from the outside of the building. This time it caused her to gasp in horror as she felt the after effects of waking up.
At first, the woman felt groggy but she finally showed her blue eyes while she also had a few scars on her face and all over her body, which had been covered up by a blanket, but when she thrust herself up she was totally naked, her breasts had gotten bigger for some reason, but she did not know why. She then felt her jaw to see if any of her teeth were gone or replaced. But none of them were, she also thought her jaw might have been slanted for some reason, but it wasn't.
"Ms. Shepard, your scars have not fully healed, but we need you to get moving up!" Leon said again. "Like I said before, this facility and the whole colony is under attack!"
She slowly gets up and feels the stinging pain from the scar on the side of her midriff. "Ow...That stung. Wait, who's speaking to me?" she wanted to know.
While on the loudspeakers, the young doctor introduced himself. "My name is Dr. Leon Parker, me and my allies, Michael Walters and Haru Bristow are pinned down in a different section of the building." he said to her, explaining the situation. "A Kaiju is attacking the planet and I already sent out a signal to the Voltron Force, they'll be here soon."
She looks outside the windows of the building and sees several battleships attacking something that looked like a cross between a lizard and werewolf. Only, instead of fur on it, it had scales while it had a spiked row going up its back and wolf ears on the top of its head while a set of twin horns were seen as well. She then recognized what Leon said to her about the robot in question, "Voltron's coming here? I better get out of this place." she said to herself. "Dr. Parker, what should I do?" the woman asked the doctor.
Leon then relayed some instructions to her. "There's some armor and a pistol in the locker on the other side of the room. Hurry up and get it!" he said to her.
"Got it!" she said, slowly getting off the bed and the blanket was completely off of her body, exposing her large, supple breasts, long slender yet well toned legs, perfectly round rear end and her pussy showed as well. She looked down at her body, "Whoa! What the? How...How did my boobs get this big?!" she asked herself, but then shrugged her head to put it out of her mind. "I'll worry about that later. Gotta armor up!" She then grabbed the armor which was navy-ish, silver, white, gold and had a red stripe going down both arms while one of the gauntlets had a communicator and laser inside it. She then grabbed the boots and attached them to her legs while also grabbing the pistol. "This pistol doesn't have any ammo, Leon! Any ideas?"
"It's a medical bay," said Leon. "We'll get you a clip of ammo from..." Just then, there was a loud noise. *BANG* "Dammit to hell!"
"What is it?" asked the woman.
"Ran into a trap and me and the guys are separated from the one who brought you here." replied Leon. "And those canisters in the room are about to go kablooey! Get to cover! Now!" he instructed. So Lauren ran to a place where she could be safe from the explosion of the canisters in the room. "Keep you're head down and shield yourself from the boom!"
"Gotcha, doc!" Lauren said, taking refuge behind the counter as the canisters blew up. *KABLAMMO!* Lauren then steered clear of the shrapnel that flew in the opposite direction that she came from. "Phew, that was close. What's the cause of this attack?" she asked, wanting to know.
Leon then informed her of everything that was going on, "Someone broke into the place and hacked our computers, turning our worker bots against us to try and kill you." he said to her. "Haru and Mikey are holding them off right now, but they need help. Find an ammo clip for your gun!"
Lauren nodded and began to look around for some ammunition for her gun. There wasn't any on one of the counters, but then she saw one lying on the floor. It was near the body of a dead worker from the facility, the sight of this reminded her of the Baltan Blitz she fought in. Shaking it off, she then saw something on the other side of the door. "Looks like one of the workers here set up a barricade to hold off whoever did this." she said to herself. "Well, let's see if that parkour training I did pays off if I have the strength to do it." She began running at the barricade and did a parkour jump over it and landed on her feet. "Whoo, it worked!" she said, with a little bit of excitement in her voice.
Leon then informed her of something else. "Look out, there's a rogue worker bot in there and it's armed!" he said.
As she saw the worker bot enter the room with a blaster, it looked like the Battle Android Troopers from G.I. Joe but mixed with Merc and Green from Ratchet & Clank she took cover behind a crate and waited for her chance to shoot it down. It began firing at her and she shot it down *BANG!* and then she ran up the stairs and down into the hallway. "That was a direct hit!" she said, cheering for herself.
"Congratulate yourself later, keep moving." said Leon's voice over the comm-link. "We have to get to the shuttles to get out of this facility!"
"Right!" said Lauren, as she put some pep in her step.
As she made it down the hallway into another room, she looked around and then Leon told her, "Lieutenant, rogue security robots are closing in on you, find cover!" and so, she ducked behind something and saw a robot come through the door in front of her. "Don't take any chances! Stay in cover while you take those bots down."
"All over that." she said. Sheppard then fired her pistol at the one robot that came out of that door, and blew its head off, destroying its camera. But then, a whole group of robots came from the door on the side and began shooting at them too and she did not stop till they were wrecked. One of them was crawling her way, but just before it could grab her, it exploded.
"Nice work, Sheppard." said Leon.
"Thank you." she said back to him. She then got out of her cover and made a beeline for the door the one robot came out of. She strutted down the hallway and out one of the windows, a fire was blazing out of control, activating the sprinklers. She then saw some of the people who worked their getting attacked by a robot that was bigger than the other ones, "Oh fuck, that's a big one!" she said to herself.
"Let's not waste any more time!" said Leon, over the com-channel. "I can't keep these bots distracted forever!" he added, but Lauren watched in horror as the big mech killed the people in there. But, she snapped out of it.
"Okay, what am I supposed to do now?" she asked.
Leon then relayed what he saw, "More reinforcements are closing in. You'll need the grenade launcher in front of you." he instructed.
The lieutenant looked to the front left of her and saw it, "That one?" she asked.
"Yes." said Leon.
Lauren grabs the grenade launcher and takes cover on the balcony. "Okay, this will come in handy."
"It sure will." said Leon, continuing to monitor her. "Here come the mechs, use that grenade launcher on them and take them down."
And so Lauren ducked behind the balcony and then when the mechs came in, she fired a grenade and the robots exploded. "Yes!" she said. "Just like back home!" She then pressed her new communicator. "Okay, where to now?"
"Take the elevator down one floor!" said Leon, over the speaker. The Sheppard woman made her way to the elevator and rode it down. "Charge through the fire! Hurry, get to the door! Run!" he instructed and Lauren dashed right past the flames and there was not a single scratch on her. She looked around and pointed her pistol at the walls. "You're doing...Sheppard. Head to the...Meet you.." Leon was trying to continue, but there was static in the way. "Lauren?-read me? I've got...-closing in...-position."
Lauren could not get it clear, "Leon? LEON?!" she called out, but no answer. "Dammit!"
The Voltron Force arrived on Shakarrdon IV and exited hyperspace and began to land on the planet. They spotted some footprints and Pidge spoke up, "Hmm, very intriguing." he said.
"What is it, Pidge?" asked Keith.
Pidge replied, "This was not damage from a Robeast, it was a Kaiju that did this.'' He showed them the data from it. The footprints it left behind left a trail of dark energy behind in its wake. "Whoever has this place is gonna have a field day." he said, he then pressed a few buttons and then something came up on his scanners. "And it looks like we not only have a Robeast, but a Kaiju is running loose here."
Allura was a little bewildered, "Let me guess, they've been to Earth before?" she asked.
"Sure have." replied Lance. "And not only that, but before the Galaxy Garrison formed, the Science Patrol was guarding Earth from Kaiju attacks, but they did have an ally."
Hunk chimed in and said, "Oh yeah, I remember reading about that before." he then looked around. "Well, if there is a Robeast helping the Kaiju, let's see where it's heading right now."
Just then, Pidge saw the Kaiju in question and there was indeed a Robeast with it too. It was Titan Kick. "I see them! They're almost at the medical center that called us." Pidge revealed. "We've gotta pick up the pace."
"On it." Lance replied as he sped up with the others. And so, they found Titan Kick and Bemarion, continuing to crush things in their path, and then Red Lion charged at the two monsters. "Nuh-uh-uh-uh, don't be rude to people from other galaxies." Lance taunted, as he fired the missiles from his Lion. The missiles hit their intended targets, but did little to affect them as they continued their rampage while aiming at the lionbots.
"These guys are tough." Allura stated as she saw almost no damage on the Robeast and the Kaiju.
"They may be tough, but we'll find a way to take them down." Hunk said as he fired a shot from his lion.
Keith scanned the Kaiju and was startled, "What the, that's Bemarion?" he asked himself.
This made the others a little confused. "What's a Bemarion?" asked Allura.
"He was the Kaiju that has been dormant here after the Baltan Blitz!" Keith replied, telling her about it.
"Looks like something or someone woke it up." Lance said as he avoided an attack. "But who?"
Keith then replied, "Either Zarkon did this himself, or he's got a new ally."
"I'm thinking he has an ally, because none of Zarkon's ships were in the area." Pidge suggested.
Lance nodded, "I agree with you on that one, Pidge." he said, agreeing to that. "So, Keith, what do you think we should do?" the rebellious daredevil of the bunch asked his leader, as he fired his cannon at Bemarion again, only for the Kaiju to whack it away with its tail.
Then, Bemarion roared again. *YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONG* And began to charge at the Voltron Force.
"There's only one thing we can do." Lance stated. "Get ready to form Voltron."
"Got that right!" said Keith, as he got ready to do the signature call. "Activate Interlock!" He pressed a few buttons on the console of his Lion Bot. "Dynotherms Connected! Infracells Up! Engines At Maximum!" The multi-colored star began to light up in the colors of all five of the lions while the section in the middle was white. "Mega thrusters are go!" he said.
And all of them in unison shouted. "LET'S GO VOLTRON FORCE!"
(BGM: Voltron Theme by World Events Productions plays)
The lions flew up together in a rainbow-ish light and then Red and Green folded their legs and Yellow and Blue did the same while black straightened out its back legs and folded its front ones out of the way. "Form Feet and Legs!" said Keith, as Blue and Yellow folded their bodies upward. "Form Arms and Body!" he said again, as the Red and Green Lions attached to the upper area and the Blue and Yellow Lions attached the legs of the Black Lion. "And I'll Form the Head!" Suddenly, the head of the Black Lion formed into the head of Voltron and with that done, the invincible robot was completed.
(BGM changes to THE RACE OF THE NIGHT by Dave Rodgers)
Voltron landed on the ground and stood ready to fight both Bemarion and Titan Kick. The pilots also found themselves in a singular cockpit, "Whoa! Pidge, did you and Hunk do this in your spare time?" asked Lance, wanting to know.
"Actually, Shiro and Coran helped me with this." Pidge replied. "Hunk just did the heavy lifting."
"I may not be the smartest, but being the strongest has its moments." Hunk mentioned.
Keith smiled at that, "Well said. Now, let's get to it!" he said. Just then, Voltron began putting his fists together as Keight said, "Form Blazing Sword!" as balls of light formed on the fists and it stretched out into a long bit of light that materialized a sword for Voltron to use in battle.
Meanwhile, back in the RevivalKnight facility, Lauren kept searching through the facility. She stumbled across a few rooms and the first one she entered saw a vault and some computers that had some data on it. She looked it over and said to herself, "I wonder what's on this."
She pressed a button and on it was Leon's face, apparently it was a journal he had split into various reports. "Dr. Leon Parker's Data Log, Stardate 21XX-71998.52 Progress is slow, but effective. Subject shows signs of recovery." he said in this journal entry. "Major organs are once again functional and signs of rudimentary neurological activity are high. There's no doubt that she'll make a full recovery, but it'll take time. In an effort to accelerate the process, we've moved from simple organic reconstruction of the subject to bio-synthetic infusion. Initial results show promise." Then he added, "On a side note, the new nutrition fluid sent to us to help keep her in top physical condition is working well, but has shown possible extra development of breast tissue and increased the size of her chest. It's possibly nothing, but I figured it should be reported for future use on women so they'll know what to expect and not be surprised like Lauren will when she wakes up." the log ended.
Lauren shook her head in a little bit of admiration and repulsion and yet, she looked down at her giant bosom, "Whoa, he wasn't kidding about my breasts. At least my girls got some protection." she said. And heading over to another laptop, it played an audio log.
The audio log was Haru. "Haru Bristow's log update: The cost of this project is, how shall I put it? Astronomical." he said, as his voice played. "Over four billion credits so far. But nobody seems to give a hoot and a half that we've gone over budget. I have no clue where the boss man gets all his money, but maybe it's better not to know. I just wish he'd kick a little more in my direction every once and a while." he added.
And with that said, Lauren left the room and saw that some of the workers were getting blasted by a rogue mech that was about 7 to 8 ft. tall. Then, the mech just ignored her and walked off. "How rude." she said, watching it trail off. She then raced up the stairs and saw a public computer with another Audio Log on it. "That Haru Bristow guy left a log in the previous room, and he left it in here too?" she asked herself. "What a litterbug he can be."
She activated it and this time the log said, "Haru Bristow Log update: I can't figure Felicity out. As project director, she should be ecstatic about all the progress we made here so far. But, she's still the same old ice queen she was before. Maybe she's worried Sheppard will be the new favorite for the boss man. Or maybe she's just a pure, cold-hearted bitch." The audio log ended after that.
Lauren wondered, "Who is this Felicity woman, and why would Haru badmouth her like that?" she asked herself. Next, Lauren opened the door and spotted a shootout between Shane Oliver, Leon Parker and several renegade mechs while Michael Walters began using his glove to project a barrier to protect them from some laser blasts.
"Guys, look who's here!" said Michael.
Shane looked over his shoulder and saw that the woman he saved was still alive. "Lauren Shepard! You're awake and alive!" he admired.
"Admire her later, dude!" said Leon, refocusing Shane's attention on the mechs. Just then, Lauren fired her pistol and got a rogue service bot.
However, more kept arriving and Lauren ducked down next to the boys. "What are you doing here? I thought you were still a work in progress." said Michael, as he was confused.
"It's a long story, which I don't have time for right now," said Lauren. "Which one of you is Leon Parker?" she asked.
"That'd be me." Leon said, as he kept firing at the rogue machines. "The one using their glove to project this barrier is Michael Walters and this right here is…"
"My name is Shane Oliver." he introduced himself to her. "I forgot, this is all very new to you right now. I've been stationed here for quite a while now."
*HOSTILEZ DETE-E-E-E-E-ECTED!* The rogue service bot buzzed, as it fired on them again, prompting Shane to fire his blaster.
"Fuck it!" Shane said, as he saw more of them coming. He shot another one and blew its head clean off. "Yeah, headshot!"
Lauren had a little bit of a smile. "Good work!"
"Thanks." Shane said, as he blushed a little bit. "Things must be worse than I thought if it got you running about." he said to her. "We'll fill you in, but we've got one of our own finding a shuttle first."
"Yeah, and it seems King Zarkon sent Titan Kick and that Kaiju to attack." Michael added, as he deflected the rogue machine's blasts back at them. He then saw Voltron slashing at both the Robeast and Bemarion. "Voltron's here!"
Lauren was in awe at this, but then, something occurred to her, "I know this isn't the best time, but I'm sick of stumbling around when I don't know what's going on in the first place."
Leon then said, "Fair enough. We'll give the quick version." he began to explain what happened to her. "You and your ship, the Shadow Tiger, were attacked and destroyed by an unknown assailant. You were nearly killed. Dead as dead could be, but Shane over there, he brought you here. He saved your life."
"With a little help from his friends." Michael added.
Shane then continued and said, "The scientists and myself spent the last two years putting you back together. You've been comatose or worse, that whole time. Welcome back to the land of the living."
This news had Lauren shocked to her very core. "Two years!? That's…impossible. I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around this." she said, in confusion.
"Yeah, I can imagine." said Leon, agreeing to that.
"Is this a Garrison facility?" the woman asked.
"Actually, it's called Project: RevivalKnight." said Shane, as he denoted. "The Garrison officially declared you killed in action. The whole galaxy thinks you're dead." he had a saddened look on his face. "But, I never gave up on you. I worked with Leon, Mike and Haru to keep you alive."
"And if we don't get to those shuttles, they may be right." said Leon, adding to this.
Lauren then asked, "Were there any other survivors from the Shadow Tiger?"
"Yeah, but I tell you what-you help us finish off the mech's in this area and we'll play 20 questions with you throughout the night." said Shane, as he shot another mech in the head.
Leon then said, "We're low on thermal clips, but Michael is a tech-wiz."
Mike nodded, "Also, I should mention something else." He removed his sleeve and showed that his arm was mechanized and he fired a laser at the rogue mech. "Yeah, I'm a cyborg." which made Shane and the revived woman shocked.
"Given the circumstances, the fact that you are one is very much welcomed." Leon declared.
He nodded to Leon and looked at Lauren. "Let me know when you want me to hit them with what I got."
"Right!" said Lauren, as she got ready to fight.
She then got up and fired at the rogue mechs, and so did Shane and Leon. "Alright Michael, NOW!" she ordered. And so, Michael pulled the last remaining mechs their way with his tractor beam and they all fired at them, causing them to explode. "Yes!"
"That's it! We did it!" said Shane, as he and the others all high-fived each other. He then looked at Lauren and said, "Alright, now that that's taken care of, I promised we'd answer your questions. What would you like to know?"
"First thing's first." Lauren replied. "You said you guys spent two years rebuilding me. How bad were my injuries?"
Shane replied, "I'm no doctor, but I could tell that they were very, very bad." he said. "When I first saw you, you were unconscious, so I brought you to the hospital here in Neon-Gardens on Shakarrdon IV."
Lauren was stunned, "So, I'm still in the Aquarius galaxy."
"Correct." Leon said, before he added. "When I helped Shane bring you here, you were just meat and tubes. Anywhere else, they would have just put you in cold storage or a coffin. But, Project: RevivalKnight was different. Cutting-edge technology."
Lauren wondered, "What do you mean by 'Cutting-Edge'?" she asked. "Cloning, Cybernetics?"
Shane then said, "I don't know the details. But, Leon and Mike do."
Mike then said, "We're very certain you're not a clone."
Leon added, "Shane was hoping we'd bring you back as you were before." he said to the woman. "But, you might just have a few extra bits and pieces now," he pointed to her rack.
Lauren looked down at her chest again, "You mean these puppies?" she pointed to the hooters she was sporting.
"They're a bit far from puppies," said Mike. "But yeah, that's one of the pieces."
She then revealed, "I heard about that new formula you used on me. What's it called?"
"The real name is a mile long, but the nickname is Super Serum due to how it's supposed to keep you in top shape while you're recovering." Leon explained. "It's still in trial stages, but it isn't harmful."
The Sheppard woman then asked, "What can you tell me about the project? Were there other test subjects, besides me?"
Leon shook his head, "No, Project: RevivalKnight only had one subject. The whole purpose was to bring you back, just you."
Mike nodded in agreement. "Even that was a challenge, two long years." he said. "All the top scientists under one roof and the best technology money could buy."
"Okay, now for my next important question." Lauren said. "Were there any other survivors of Shadow Tiger? The last thing I remember was the Shadow Tiger blowing up."
"Yes. Just about everybody survived." said Shane, denoting what he had heard thanks to Leon. "A few service men from the lower decks didn't get out in time, because they had been scorched."
"Navigator Lawrence Prestonson was killed by an explosion." Leon added to that, as he went on. "But everyone else, including the non Garrison crew, Octavianna and the feline woman, Sasha, they all made it out alive." he assured her.
Lauren was glad to hear that. "Phew, thank goodness and Prestonson, he will be missed." she said, feeling saddened by how a crewman she respected passed away. "Do you know what any of them are doing now?"
"I don't know, Lieutenant." said Leon, explaining that bit. "It's been two years, they all moved on, left the Garrison because they felt lost. They could be anywhere by now."
Lauren sighed, feeling like she lost a part of herself. But then, she asked, "Do you guys know anything about the attack on this building? Who's behind it or what they were after?"
"Damned if I know," said Michael. "I was about to get some shut eye, but then Shane's mom, Jane and his little brother, Trip showed up for a visit, then that Kaiju arrived and now Voltron is fighting it. However, one of the female doctors here, Carol Van Bartonston, managed to get away and told us that someone hacked into the facility and BAMMO! Bunch of explosions left and right."
"And the next thing we knew, we were fighting every damned robot in the facility after they had been hacked." Mike added. "I think it might have been an inside job."
"But, who would be smart enough to do this?" asked Shane, as he wondered. "You don't think there's a traitor here, do you?"
"I'm not ruling anything out," said Leon. "You'd need top clearance to access the main robot control module."
Lauren then refocused on her friends from the Shadow Tiger, "The people who survived the Shadow Tiger explosion, they were my team. If they knew I was alive, they'd come back." she said.
Mike, Leon and Shane nodded in unison together. "Maybe we can help you track them down after we get out of this place, IF we make it out alive." Shane grimed.
However, Lauren then wondered, "What's your job here, Leon?"
"Depends on who you ask." Leon started. "Technically I'm supposed to be the head doctor for the place, by order of Felicity Drake, a field spy who is currently in the employ of someone else. But, I'm just a scientist, inventor and mathematical genius." he then pointed to Shane. "I did a few tours as a Galactic Navy Seal, and that was plenty. It's usually a lot more dull than this. Normally, I don't fire my gun unless it's target practice. Shane and I became best friends, along with Mike and Haru. In fact, Michael is my mentor." he pointed out.
"Your mentor?" asked Lauren.
"Yep." said Mike. "Leon's father died of a disease called Mordorakvirus. And also, before the attack tonight, Shane's mom, Jane and his little brother, Trip, came here to visit him."
Lauren turned over to Shane. "Your mom and brother are here!? What about your dad?"
"My dad's gone." he told her, solemnly. "Before Trip was born, dad ended up buried in an avalanche." he sat down in a slump, feeling like he was sad.
But then, Lauren held Shane close to her in a tender hug. "I'm sorry about your loss, Shane." she said, embracing him and making him blush. She then turned to Leon again, "When I found one of Haru Bristow's audio logs, it mentioned Felicity, he called her a cold-hearted ice queen."
That made Shane, Mike and Leon stand there mouth agape, they were like "Oh…He is so in trouble…" in their collective heads. "Why would Haru say that? She's the director of the project." asked Mike.
"I have no clue, but Felicity Drake is the one who led the RevivalKnight team. It was her job to bring you back to life, Ms. Sheppard, no matter what." said Leon. "And sorry for cutting out of contact with you before, my radio went through an anti-communications field. One of the mechs was carrying it."
"Now I getcha." said Lauren.
Leon then added in, "Yep, and Shane never gave up on you."
"And I don't plan on starting now." Shane said, as he got to his feet.
"Thanks." Lauren said, with a flattered smile. "When did you guys lose contact with Haru?"
Mike then revealed, "It didn't sound good. There was gunfire, a few bombs going off and syringes being smashed. And there was an explosion right before we lost contact."
Shane then had a deduction. "Sounds like Haru's radio got destroyed! We have to find him and see if he, Trip and my mom are alright!"
The woman nodded, "Yes! What's the quickest way to those shuttles?" she asked.
Leon then revealed, "Depends where the bots are thickest. It's probably best if we.." Just then, something beeped on the brace Leon had on his wrist.
Just then, a female voice came over the comms, "Check! Check! Anyone on this frequency? Anybody still alive? Hello?" they said.
Leon then pressed his ear-comm and said, "Winslow, that you?"
"Leon! Boy, am I glad to hear from you!" the female voice, now referred to as Winslow. "Where are you?"
"In the D Wing room!" Leon told her. "I'm here with Shane, Mike and Lieutenant Lauren Sheppard, we just cleared out a wave of mechs in the area."
Just then, Winslow's voice was filled with shock, "Sheppard's alive? But how? Did it work?"
"It did," said Leon.
Winslow was wiping her forehead where she was at. "Alright, you guys need to get out of there! Get to the service tunnels and head for the network control room!"
Leon nodded and Mike replied, "Roger that, Winslow! Stay on this frequency!
Just then Lauren remembered, "I think I remember a Winslow with Mike, checking on me one time when I woke up…"
"That's her!" Shane said. "Diana Winslow, another good doctor, she's the chief medical technician. Answers directly to Felicity."
"Maybe I can get a few extra answers out of her later." Lauren mentioned.
Shane nodded, "Yeah, come on, the service tunnels are this way!" He pointed to the door, and kept their weapons trained at all times.
They went into the service tunnels and made their way to where Winslow was at. They then entered a room that was red and saw some more hacked mechs running loose. "More of them!" said Lauren.
Shane then said, "Dammit, Diana! This area is crawling with bots!" he told the woman.
"The whole facility is crawling with them!" Diana said, over the comm-link. "I'm doing the best I can!"
They all went down the right of the path and avoided any obstacles in their path. Lauren then saw another hacked mech in the room and blew its head clean off.
"Good shot." Shane complimented.
"Thanks." Lauren replied with a smile before blasting another mech. She then spotted another just ahead, and so she threw a grenade and it caused the bot to explode. They kept moving forward as they managed to get through the many bots that got in their way.
But then, Diana Winslow chimed in, "Oh God! They found us! HELP!" she screamed.
"We're almost there!" said Leon, reassuring her. "Where are you Diana?"
"Server Room B!" Diana revealed. "Hurry, they're out of control!" she said with worry.
They looked around and saw that Server Room B was upstairs, "Let's head on up the stairs, everyone!" said Shane, getting prepared to fight another wave if need be.
But then, a shot happened and it hurt Diana, "Oh God! I'm hit! They shot me!"
"Let's bolt it, boys!" Lauren said, as they all sprinted to the area.
The group had to speed up as they headed towards the room that Diana was in. It took some time, but they made it as they found Server Room B and destroyed the bots that were there.
After destroying the bots, they made it into the server room. The door opened and inside was Diana Winslow, she had long brown hair and glasses. "Leon, Mike, Shane, Sheppard, down here!" she called out. They heard her and spotted her in time to see her alive, but injured. "Those hacked mech bastards got me in the leg!" she winced.
Lauren knelt down and saw that it was indeed bad and then she told her, "You were with Michael the first time I regained consciousness!" she said.
"Yeah, that was me." Diana said. "Never thought I'd meet you in this position. But, how about we talk about this after you fix my leg?" she asked.
Leon then said, "There should be some Regene-Gel in the first-aid kit on the wall." he told them. "Hopefully enough to get her moving again."
Lauren grabbed it and used it on Diana, "There you go. Can you stand?"
"Yeah, for the most part." Diana said. She then looked at Shane and spoke to him, "Shane Oliver, correct?"
"Yes." Shane nodded.
"It's nice to finally meet you." she said to him. "Your mom and little brother went with Haru to the evac shuttle, Haru's defending them but I'm not sure how long he'll last."
Shane was glad to know his family was safe. "Thank goodness for Haru."
Diana then hugged Lauren. "Thanks Lt. Sheppard, never thought you'd save my life." she pointed out. "I guess that makes us even now."
Lauren smiled a little bit. "Yeah, you're right." she said to her. "So, what were you doing in this server room?"
"I thought maybe I could shut down the robots from here." Diana replied to the now busty Sheppard woman. "But whoever did it fried the whole system, it's completely irreversible."
"Fuck!" said Shane, cursing himself. "But, we didn't ask what you were doing. But, how did you get service bot operations clearance, you were in the bio wing."
Mike then said, "Hadn't you heard? She got promoted."
Shane was stunned. "What!? Seriously!?" he asked, getting a nod. "Wow, congrats to you."
"Guess he didn't get the memo." Leon suggested.
It was then that Shane rubbed the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed. "Sorry for forgetting about that, Diana." he apologized to her.
"It's alright with me." Diana said.
Lauren then brought up, "You're all strangers to me." she started off. "Let's get to the evac shuttles then we'll sort out who's fault it is."
They all nodded. "Right, Lieutenant." said Leon. "We need to get to Haru and lend him support while Voltron deals with Zarkon's new Robeast and the Kaiju."
Diana gasped, "A KAIJU!? HERE?!" she then grabbed a holo-book she had and looked up what kind it was, "Oh no! Bemarion has been set free!"
"That Kaiju has a NAME!?" asked Mike.
"Yes." Diana nodded. "Bemarion was buried here during the last time the Voltron Vehicle Force visited here."
This had Lauren shocked to her very core, she had heard about Kaiju attacking Earth before, but some thought it was a publicity stunt. "Does anyone ever think about digging them up and throwing them into a black hole or something?" Lauren asked.
"I don't think that would work," said Diana. "The only way they could be cast away is to send them to M-90, the Monster Graveyard."
"However the thought of at least digging them up and removing them is appreciated." Leon mentioned.
Diana then turned around and said, "The shuttle bay is not too far away."
"Will you be able to make it?" Shane asked. "Or do you need help getting there?"
"No, I can manage." she reassured him. But then, more hacked robots entered the room and started blasting them. Mike then turned his arm into a cannon and fired at one of the mechs, disintegrating it. "Whoa, Michael, you're a CYBORG!?"
"Yeah, I am." Michael confirmed. "I'll talk about it after we get out of here."
Lauren then fired her gun and then thought of something, "Can we overload the canisters to get rid of the hacked bots?" she asked.
"It's worth a try." said Shane, as he got out a glove that looked like a power-item. "Gives me the perfect chance to try this out!"
Leon nodded, "Yeah, good idea!"
Lauren gave the signal as the hacked bots marched their way and she said, "Do it…..Now!" she ordered. And just like that, Shane overloaded the canisters, everyone took cover and the canisters exploded, taking the robots with them. "Yes!"
"Good work." Diana said, approvingly. "There, now let's get moving."
However, as they were about to head out, Leon then wanted to reveal what the place was and who it belonged to. "We took them down, but this is getting tense." he said before turning over to Lauren. "Lt. Sheppard, if I tell you who we work for, will you still trust me?" he asked.
"Really Leon, now?" asked Diana, feeling a little dismayed.
"We won't make it if she's expecting a shot in the back." Leon pointed out.
Shane looked at Diana and said, "Yeah, besides, we owe her an explanation."
After letting out a sigh, Diana agreed. "Very well."
Leon then revealed, "The RevivalKnight Project, the program that rebuilt you…it's funded and controlled by the Space Riders."
Shane was a little bewildered, 'The Space Riders? I don't know who they are, but I'm glad they helped me save this gorgeous woman and make her even hotter than I thought.' he thought, but mentally kicked himself for sounding like a pervert. 'Get ahold of yourself, Shane.' he thought again.
Lauren folded her arms in bewilderment. "I've never heard of the Space Riders, or any of their projects. But, I'm glad they helped keep me alive." she said. "But, why would they want to keep me alive?"
"Those answers are way, way, above my pay grade." Leon replied to her, unsure as to why that was. "But, for the most part, things were tough," he added. "The Garrison declared you killed in action. They gave up, but some of them didn't so they decided to join the Space Riders, a group of freedom fighters that support the Voltron Force, and spent a fortune to bring you back."
Shane had a little bit of a sense of feeling left out of the secret. 'Wow, freedom fighters.' he said.
"Look, I'd be suspicious too, but after Sky Marshall Wade tried to discredit the Voltron Force, I felt enraged by his methods." said Leon denoting his resentment towards Sky Marshall Wade. "And to make matters worse, Admiral Sanda sold Earth out to Zarkon and betrayed us." he revealed more.
Lauren was shocked to hear that a Galaxy Garrison admiral had betrayed Earth. "Damn, that bitch! Why would she do it?"
"I don't know, and that's the scary thing." Leon replied to her. "But right now, we have to work together, I thought you deserved to know what's what."
Lauren shut her eyes and nodded in agreement to that. "I agree with that one, Leon."
Mike then said, "Once we're off the station, we'll take you to Samuel Fletcher-Danielson, he'll explain everything to you. I swear."
"Samuel Fletcher-Danielson, is he in charge of the Space Riders?" Lauren asked.
Diana replied, "Yeah, and he's also the co-founder of the group. They called him the Reclusive Stranger." she said to her.
"It was a nickname his old crewmates in Galaxy Garrison gave him, it kinda stuck with him after a while." Mike revealed.
Lauren understood why. "Well, I won't get more answers standing around here. Let's move on." she ordered. With the secret out they all continued on their way to the shuttle pad.
"Right, it's not much farther to the shuttle bay." Diana said.
Back on Zarkon's ship, he and the other villains watched as Voltron kept fighting back against Titan Kick and Bemarion.
"The progress is rather slow, but eventually Voltron shall fall." Zarkon declared with glee. "Not even Voltron can defeat a Robeast and a Kaiju at the same time."
"On that I could not agree more!" said Yarpool, agreeing with that. "However, we will need something else to distract the humans down there." he then showed what was going on. "What the!? How is SHE STILL ALIVE!?" he bellowed.
Haggar then looked it over, "Who is she?" asked the witch.
One of the Baltan looked it over, "That is Lauren Sheppard, she was the one who led an attack against us during an event they call the Baltan Blitz." he said to them. "I believed we killed her!"
"It seems she managed to be brought back to life." said Lotor, as he denoted it. "Send down a small squad down there to eliminate her immediately."
Ace Killer then said, "No need, it seems Cyber Valky is down there already, disguised as a human in a hood." he told him. "And oddly enough, someone is helping him."
The real Valky saw this, "Gotta hand it to my cyber brother, no job is big enough for him." he said, commending his brother.
On the planet's surface, Voltron kept slashing at Titan Kick, but it kept blocking. Bemarion then fired a blast from its mouth, almost as if it were a fire.
"Woah!" Allura exclaimed. "This is becoming overwhelming."
Keith then pressed a few buttons on the console and said, "Powering Up Blazing Shield!" he said, and suddenly, Voltron materialized a shield. "That should defend us from Bemarion's blasts."
"For now at least." Pidge added. "But we need to find a way to stop them soon or else we'll end up losing this fight."
"We never fought a Kaiju before." Hunk mentioned. "So this is new stuff for us and for Voltron."
Voltron then kicked Titan Kick up into the air and went for another slash at Bemarion. However, the Kaiju whacked Voltron with its tail.
Back in the RevivalKnight building, Lauren and the others had finally arrived at the shuttle bay. "More of those hacked mechs are running loose!" she said.
They then saw Haru fighting them off and making sure they didn't get into the shuttle where Jane and Trip were at. "HARU!" said Shane, looking up.
"Hey guys!" He greeted them, as he raced past the hacked mechs and was glad that Shane, Leon and Michael were okay. He then saw Lauren Sheppard awake. "Lt. Sheppard, you're alive!? Oh thank goodness!" he said, feeling relieved.
"Hey, you're Haru Bristow?" she asked, he nodded. "Nice to meet you. Now, let's shoot down these rogue robots!"
"Right!" everyone said in unison.
They all began fighting the rogue mechs and then Mike pulled them in with the tractor beam he had in his arm and then Diana and Haru fired at them too. Shane then spotted something, "What the hell?" he said, "Who's that?" He saw the one in the hood. "He must have been the one who hacked the bots!"
Shane then ran towards the hooded one and blasted a few more rogue bots along the way, he saw the hooded one heading towards the shuttle his mom and sister are on. The hooded one mumbled to himself. "Soon those bots will have those pathetic doctors annihilated and this whole place will be blown to scrap!" he said. "And Voltron will be permanently destroyed after I kill the other survivors in that shuttle!" he began laughing evilly and then, *BAM* and Shane shot the guy in the arm, blowing it clean off.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY, YOU SCUMBAG!" Shane raged, after kicking the guy in the balls. He grabbed his collar, "Listen to me, you piece of fuck! And listen good!" He sounded a little intimidating. "My mom and little brother are in there, and I will NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TAKE THEM FROM ME!" He then knocked out the hooded man and threw him to the side.
Lauren then ran up to the area, "Shane, I appreciate you saving me, but blowing that guy's arm off was crazy."
Then, Shane pointed, "Not really, take a look." It was revealed that he had a prosthetic arm and he blew the computer in it to bits. "This guy is a homicidal hacker, he hacked the bots."
With the computer controlling them destroyed, the service bots and mechs shut down. "Whoa!" said Leon.
But then, Lauren went into what appeared to be the broom closet and found another laptop with a report from Felicity on it. "Felicity Drake Data Log; Stardate 21XX-40729.58, a boy named Shane Oliver has recovered the test subject Lauren Sheppard, after the destruction of her ship." she said in the log. "She may have been recovered but the damage to her body is far worse than we could have imagined. In addition to the unexpected burns and internal injuries from the explosion of the Shadow Tiger, she had suffered significant cellular breakdowns due to exposure to the vacuum of space and sub-zero temperatures. However, despite the extent of physical trauma, Leon has assured me that she's salvageable. And Shane Oliver has volunteered to help with it and who knows how long it will be. The RevivalKnight Project will proceed on schedule. End Log." it stopped playing and they exited the closet.
"Shane, you volunteered to bring me back?" asked the woman, with a confused and yet impressed look on her face. She hugged him and then gave him a little kiss on the forehead. "Thank you, for bringing me back to life again, I owe you for that." she said. "Oh, your face is all red."
"He's just blushing." said Diana, and they all laughed at his expense. "Anyhow, let's get to the shuttles."
"Right!" they all said, as they raced to the shuttles and saw that Jane and Trip were alright.
Jane hugged her older son, "Shane, I'm so glad you're not hurt!" she cried. "And you got rid of that psycho hacker before he could reach us." Just then, she saw Lauren standing there. "You're Lauren Sheppard, the woman my son saved. It's nice to meet you, I'm Jane Oliver, and this is my younger son, Trip."
"Hi there." said Trip, greeting the woman. "I admit, you're very beautiful, even if you have scars."
Lauren smiled, "Awww, thank you." she gave him a little peck on the cheek. "It's nice to meet you both as well. Right now, we need to get out of here while Voltron deals with the Robeast and Bemarion."
This had the Oliver family members a little confused, "What's Bemarion?"
"That's the name of the Kaiju monster who was buried on this planet years ago." Diana revealed, shocking them both. "We have to get out of here before we're crushed by Bemarion and Titan Kick."
"I don't know if there's enough room for all eight of us." said Trip, denoting that fact to be right.
Shane felt he had no choice, but then, someone came behind him, "There you all are!" said the voice of a worried woman. It was Felicity Drake herself in a white, black and silver skin-tight catsuit that showed her cleavage and at the same time, she had tonfas that had blades hidden in them. "Sorry for being so late!"
"Ms. Drake, where have you been?" asked Mike.
"I was held up, a titan-sized mech tried to kill me, but then I found myself a grenade launcher and obliterated it." said Felicity. "Ah, welcome back to the land of the living, Lauren Sheppard."
"Thanks." said Lauren, greeting her. "Felicity Drake, director of the RevivalKnight Project I presume?"
"In the flesh, metaphorically speaking." Felicity said. She then saw the woman and little boy in the shuttle. "Who are they?"
"Shane Oliver's family, his mother Jane and her youngest son, Shane's little brother, Trip." Lauren said. "When they heard the mechs were out of control, they hid in here and Shane stopped the hacker who did all this. Turns out, his arm was a prosthetic."
Felicity then looked at Shane, "Is this true?"
"Every word of it!" said Shane, as he had Felicity intrigued. "Also, it doesn't look like there's enough room for all eight, or rather, nine of us, if we count you."
"Say no more, Lauren, maybe we should split up and get onto different shuttles." said Felicity, suggesting this.
"Get Shane and his family to safety along with Diana, because she's injured, and I'll stay and help get to another shuttle." Lauren suggested. "We might need to provide ground support for Voltron."
"Good idea," said the Sheppard woman. "But, who will support him from the sky?" she asked, as she saw the fighter jet in the shuttle bay. "That jet looks ready."
"I'll do it!" said Shane, making them all shocked.
"YOU?!" they all asked.
"Yes, you guys go, I'll catch up!" said Shane as he looked at his family, "I've had training on fighter jets on a very realistic simulator before. And don't worry, I'll make it out alive."
"I just hope you're right." said Jane, wishing him good luck as they all got into the shuttles and Shane climbed into the jet and took off into the sky, catching up with shuttles.
Shane familiarized himself with the controls and fired the jet's laser at Bemarion, making it roar in pain *YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONG* as he fired on it. His next strike was a missile one and it fired at Titan Kick. That made the Robeast angry.
Inside Voltron's cockpit, Lance saw the way the fighter jet was drawing the Robeast and Kaiju's attention. "Man oh man, whoever that is, he's certainly holding his own out there." said Lance.
"Indeed." Keith then contacted the one in the jet. "Attention jet, this is Keith Kogane of the Voltron Force, do you read me?" he said.
"Loud and clear Commander Kogane, this is Shane Oliver!" he replied over the radio.
This had the Voltron Force a little stunned about this, "Shane Oliver, you were in the medical facility! Are you a doctor?"
"I wish," he said. "But, I trained with a flight simulator before. And besides, I'm covering for some of the people escaping on the shuttle while giving you some air support."
Allura then said, "Who's on the evac shuttles?"
"My mom, my little brother, Doc Parker, Michael Walters, Haru Bristow, project director Felicity Drake and Lauren Sheppard, she's still alive!" said Shane as he was. "I was the one who helped bring her back to life!"
This had Pidge amazed, "Wow!" he said. "We appreciate the support. Do what you can!"
"Roger that, over and out!" said Shane, disconnecting his comm-channel. Shane kept flying around as he distracted the Robeast and Kaiju so Voltron could land a few hits. And for a while it was working, but then, someone in the shadows of a different area of the building began firing something at the jet, causing the wing to blow up. "AGH! I'VE BEEN HIT!"
Just then, Felicity's voice came on the comms, "Shane, are you alright?" she asked. "Can you hear me?"
"I'm still here, but I'm in bad shape, I can't hold it!" Shane said, trying to pull back. "I'M GOING DOWN!"
"Eject, man! Eject!" said Leon, instructing him to do so.
Shane found the ejector and launched himself out of the jet as it crashed, he then landed right back on the ground and without a single scratch. "Guys, I'm alive! I managed to make it back on the ground!"
"Thank goodness!" Jane said, over the radio and then she thought of something. "Don't worry, when we get off, Felicity will send someone to bring you to the place where we're going!"
"It's the least I can do," said Felicity.
Shane nodded, "Gotcha. Godspeed!" he said to his family and new friends. But yet, at the same time, he saw what was happening and watched helplessly as the Voltron Force was getting beaten by the Robeast and the Kaiju called Bemarion.
"Looks like this could be curtains for us guys!" said Pidge, feeling a bit of despair flaring up.
Keith then urged, "Steady Pidge, we've got to figure this out!" he said, grabbing the controls again.
He grunted with anger, "I have to do something!" he said, clenching his fist in rage. It was then that he was met by a flash of black and purple and out comes a big ball-shaped ray of light as it crashed in front of him and then out of the light came a being in a black, and gold armor suit that looked alien in origin and it held a weapon of some kind.
The alien charged at Shane and kicked him in the midsection so hard, he was sent into a wall. "Hahahahahahaha, pathetic human germ!" he said in a sinister voice.
As he struggled to get up to his feet, Shane got a good look at the alien. "Damn, who the fuck are you?!" he demanded to know.
The armored alien was confused about that. "You don't know me?" he asked in a male voice. He then cackled evilly and maniacally and said, "I'm Cyber Valky, currently fighting in the service of the almighty King Zarkon, his son Prince Lotor, Witch Hagar, Mahox, Yurak, Yarpool, Dark Faust, Mephisto, Zagi, and Belial!" he then pointed his weapon at him. "And this is the end of the human race AND the Voltron Force! Extinction is inevitable and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" He then charged his weapon up. "PREPARE TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" he yelled and charged at him
Shane was frozen in fright as Cyber Valky charged at him to stab him with his weapon, Shane's life began to flash before his eyes as if nothing around him was moving, but just as Cyber Valky got close, a flash of blue and red light. "DO NOT HARM HIM! HE MUSTN'T DIE!" a male voice yelled, bashing Cyber Valky away from Shane and engulfing him in its light as Shane covered his eyes in fear he would die.
Cyber Valky got up with his shoulder looking a lot damaged and his eyes had an angry stare in them. "Shit! Where is that blasted kid?!" he looked around, until that same red and blue light zoomed in on him and sent him into another wall. "Ugh, I'll deal with him later!" he then teleported away
Shane's Void...
Shane now saw a colored void of some kind, filled with all sorts of stars surrounding the whole void. "Huh? What...Where am I? What is this place?" he said to himself, "Am I dead? Why does Heaven look like outer space?"
"You are not dead, far from it actually." a voice said to him. He is then met by a being that was shrouded in white light and it was a giant. "I pulled you into the safety of this void I constructed."
Shane was quite in awe at the sight of the giant. "Whoa! Who...Or rather...What are you?"
The giant responds, "I am Zaidar." introducing himself to the boy. "The device you found is the key to utilizing my powers." he denoted to him.
Shane searched around his person and then held out the item in question and was fascinated by this. "Wow, good thing I didn't sell this. Which brings me to the question, where are you from?"
"I am from a place known as the the O-50 quadrant near the M-78 Nebula beyond the 40th galaxy." the giant, now called Zaidar, said to him, explaining where he came from. "I was transporting the Kaiju known as Bemarion to M-90, the Kaiju Graveyard for disposal when it escaped from my grasp, and headed for your home colony." This story had Shane bewildered. To him, this was the biggest story of his life, meeting an intelligent being from beyond the reaches of his own galaxy and actually holding a device that holds his powers inside of it. "It was then that I was ambushed by King Zarkon and his Druel minions." he then showed the images of the battle he had against Zarkon's attack ships and Belial's Seijin minions and his device fell to the planet. "That was two years ago, and I was weak from that fight."
Shane saw the whole thing that happened to him and was a little bit disgruntled by it. "So, you waited two years until you would be strong enough to defeat them." he cleverly deduced. Zaidar then nodded to him, confirming it to be true. "Wow, and here I was wondering what it was doing on the ground for so long." And then, Shane then showed him what was going on. "Oh man, Voltron's in trouble!" he panicked. "What am I gonna do? What CAN I do?"
Zaidar then told him, "There is only one thing I can do to make up for the terrible thing I have done to you...I shall give you my powers." he said, causing Shane to express his shocked tone when he heard that. "When you cannot defend the lives of the innocent on your own, you and I will become one and we will fight as one."
Hearing that, Shane gasped and took a deep breath and blew out. "What, but why me?" he asked.
Zaidar then showed the images of the good things Shane had done in his life. "You are pure of heart, and the way you risked your life to save the woman named Lauren Sheppard from dying. And you also want to set things right for your mother and your sibling." he said. "Your deeds have proven yourself worthy to receive my powers. And so, I entrust my life to you, Shane Oliver." he then waved his hand over the device and was revealed to have a gold, blue and silvery white color scheme to it.
The boy was astounded by the stunning change in the color of the device. "Whoa, so much better in Technicolor." he said. "But, how do I use it?"
"Place the Zaidaron Spark on your left arm, open up the key and then raise your arm into the sky while shouting my name." the giant alien instructed him.
"Okay." Shane then followed his instructions and began to place the device, now called the Zaidaron Spark, on his left arm and it attached itself around his wrist. The device itself looked like a shield with a sword inside of it. He pulled out the key, did a few movements and inserted the key into the lock on the device, causing a light to shine from the shield and he raised his arm in the air. "ZAIDAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!" he yelled as the light shined on.
Out of Void...
As Voltron was fighting Bemarion and the Robeast, a light shined as down from the sky came a being that was the same size as Voltron was, but he had a pointed head with what looked like lit-up ears, egg-shaped eyes that were glowing white, while his body was red, blue, gold, black and silver in origin, what looked like blades on his arms and his chest plate looked like it had a tiger claw motif to it while the light on his chest was the same shape as Superman's symbol as it glowed blue.
"SHEEEEEEEWAAAAAAAACHU!" the giant shouted and took a fighting stance.
The ones in the shuttle were amazed by the sight of the giant warrior as they flew their shuttle around the battle area and were ultimately stunned by the arrival of the giant. "Whoa, gnarly!" said Leon.
Keith saw the giant in his viewfinder, he could not believe what he and the Voltron Force was seeing, "Guys, what is that?" asked Keith. "Do you think it's another Robeast of Zarkon's?"
"Not sure, Keith." replied Pidge, getting a good look at this. "I've never seen anything like that before."
The multicolored giant looked at the Robeast and Bemarion and began charging at them fast. He grabbed Bemarion by the horns and delivered a bionic elbow move to its neck. After that, the giant kicked Bemarion in the gut, lifted it up over his head and slammed him to the ground.
"Looks like he's on our side!" Lance said, as he saw the way he was fighting the Kaiju.
Back on Zarkon's Ship, the bad guys all saw what was going on. Needless to say, they were shocked about this.
"What the hell?!" asked Haggar, as she looked on.
Just then, Mahox entered the room and saw this, "Who is that!? And what is he doing to Titan Kick and Bemarion?"
"I don't know who he is, and right now, I don't care!" said Lotor, dismissing this. "Whoever this giant is, he must fall!" he yelled.
On the Shakarrdon IV surface, the giant kept fighting against the two monsters, he pushed Titan Kick back with a few punches and then did a spinning back kick to his jaw. Then, he grabbed Titan Kick by the head and lifted it up, only to do an uppercut before kicking him again.
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONG* Roared Bemarion, as he charged at the titan, he turned around quickly and punched Bemarion in the eyes. But then, the giant jumped over Bemarion and did a flying kick from all the way in the air.
"Whoa! What a shot!" said Hunk, feeling astonished by this.
The giant kicked Bemarion again and did a backflip to land on the ground and landed near Titan Kick and did a repeated kick to the side of the Robeast's body, making him stumble away. The giant stared at this, but then Bemarion went in for another attack. It breathed fire at him, hurting his shoulder a little bit.
But then, as Bemarion ran at him, the giant punched him in the chest and then delivered a few well-timed karate chops to the side of its neck. Watching this, Jane saw what was going on, "What the? Where did this giant come from?"
"I don't know, but he's phenomenal!" said Haru, watching in awe.
However, Lauren recognized his eyes and was absolutely stunned. "It's Ultraman!"
The others in the shuttle looked at her in awe, "Ultraman? What is that?" asked Leon.
"Not what, who?" said Lauren, correcting him. "Ultraman is a giant of light from another galaxy. This explains what I've read in the archives: a long time ago, Ultraman came to Earth and defended it against Kaiju and Aliens alike, including the Baltan aliens. And he managed to defeat them all while he bonded with a human, I don't know who it was, but it seems this is a new version."
Felicity and the others nodded, "Well, let's let this Ultraman do this while we get away!" she said.
And with that said, they got away from the area and sought to take shelter elsewhere, while the giant, now called Ultraman kept fighting back against the monsters. Voltron got back up and decided to help as well.
Then, the Voltron Force got a call from Leon, "Commander Kogane, this is Dr. Leon Parker!" he said.
"I read you, Doc." said Keith, responding to him. "What is it?"
"We managed to get away from the battle, but it seems Lauren Sheppard here knows who the giant is." Leon said.
Lauren now stood in front of the camera, "Keith Kogane, well I'll be damned."
"Hi Lauren." he greeted. "Shiro misses you."
"I miss him too, anyway." She refocused herself. "That giant who's fighting the Robeast and Bemarion, he's called Ultraman and right now, I don't think he can do this alone!"
"Don't worry gorgeous, we'll help him out." said Lance, as he flirted with her, only to get smacked on the back of the head by Allura. "Sorry, Allura. Didn't mean to do that."
"I understand, Lance." the Princess of Arus said. "Let's help out Ultraman however we can!"
"RIGHT!" they all said together.
Voltron got back up and raised his sword into the air, and suddenly, it began to light on fire. And he began doing a scorching slash at Titan Kick, but it only melted one of its arms. But then, Ultraman sped around and did a German Suplex to Titan Kick before getting back up to do a spin kick on Bemarion.
Next, Ultraman grabbed Bemarion by the tail, lifted him up into the air and swung him around about 22 times, before sending him flying into an unpopulated area of the planet, he sped over there and Voltron grabbed Titan Kick and tossed him into the sky, causing it to land on the ground near Bemarion.
Ultraman then heard a sound *DEEDOT DEEDOT DEEDOT DEEDOT DEEDOT DEEDOT* as the light on his chest changed from blue to flashing red. He got curious before something began to happen.
Inside the giant's head, Shane wondered 'What's that sound?' he asked.
Zaidar chimed in and said, "Shane, the Biotic Sensor is blinking!" he told him. "When it starts to flash red, it means we're running out of time! If it ever stops, both of us will either die or end up petrified!"
'Fuck! Gotta finish this quickly!' Shane thought.
The Voltron Force saw the light blinking and Keith asked, "Lauren, what is that light on Ultraman's chest?"
"From what I heard, it's called the Biotic Sensor." Lauren replied, telling them everything. "When it starts to flash red, it means he's running out of time."
The Voltron Force all looked at each other, and then Hunk asked, "What will happen if the flashing ever stops?"
"If it stops, Ultraman will die!" Lauren added.
They all gasped in horror at this. "Well, we gotta help him quickly!" said Pidge.
And so, Voltron then did something, "Fire Blazing Sword Beam!" said Keith, as he fired a blast from Voltron's sword and Ultraman decided to do something as both Bemarion and Titan Kick attacked at the same time, and it was then that the giant of light fired a beam blade at Bemarion, cutting his horns and weakening him.
The beam blade returned to Ultraman's head and then he charged up what looked like a beam blast and inside his head, 'ZAIDARION RAY, FIRE!" shouted Shane and Zaidar at the same time, causing Ultraman to do various movements and fire a beam from his arm as he put both of them in the shape of an 'L' and it fired at both Bemarion and Titan Kick, causing them both to explode at the same time. *KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!* and the beam of power faded away.
Ultraman put his arms back down and the Voltron Force were quite in awe.
"Woah!" The team exclaimed.
"That was awesome!" Hunk declared.
"I'm glad he's on our side and I hope he's okay." Lance said as they watched Zaidar. Everyone agreed with him.
Ultraman turned to Voltron, gave them a thumbs up and nodded at them, and then he looked up into the sky, jumped as he said, "SHUUUWATCH!" as he flew off of the planet.
The Voltron Force then looked around, "Where could Shane Oliver be?" asked Keith, wondering what was going on. "We lost contact with him before that giant appeared!"
Allura used the scanners and saw that the boy in question was hiding in the rocks below, keeping his distance from the battle. "There he is!"
We now find ourselves above Shakarrdon IV, in an area of the Revivalknight Project which looks like a space station. However, on the way there, Lauren and the others had finally managed to get out and was now seeing a recap of the action. She saw Voltron fighting a Robeast and some strange colorful robot fighting what looked to be a Kaiju.
"How did a Kaiju get here?" She asked, confused. But then she felt a breeze and saw that she had a window where her cleavage was and that something had been torn, and it was some of her armor near the chest.
"Must be some low grade armor." Diana noted before having to take cover. The battle between the giants continued as it was an even fight. Voltron handled the Robeast while the giant took on the Kaiju. Then she looked at Lauren and decided to ask her a few more questions. "Anyhow, before you meet with Mr. Fletcher-Danielson, we'll need to ask you a few things to evaluate your condition."
Michael then said, "More tests, come on Diana! The Lieutenant took those bots down without hesitation. That has to be good enough." he said.
Felicity then walked in and said, "It's been two years since the attack. Mr. Fletcher-Danielson needs to know if her memories and personality are still intact." she denoted.
Lauren then wondered, "Did you really mean two years? I've been gone that long?" she asked.
Then, Leon nodded, "Two Years, seven months, twelve days, twenty four hours, thirty minutes and 10 seconds to be precise."
"Nobody usually wants to know exactly how long they were in a coma, except for paperwork." Diana mentioned.
"Sorry, force of habit." Leon apologized and then continued. "But, you were on an operating table for most of it."
"The sooner we start, the sooner we can get done." said Felicity, as she made sure not to get off topic. "Start with her personal history."
"Right." said Mike, as he did so. "Records show you were born into a family of heroes. You're father, Donovan had been murdered while he was finishing his mission on one of the twin moons of Korthona. Your mother, Mira, had also been a tough woman. You enlisted in the Galaxy Garrison at the age of 17, been friends with Takashi Shirogane and Keith Kogane, as well as the rest of the Voltron Force, Daryll 'Pidge' Stoker, Hunk Garrett, Sven Holgerson and yet, you also got to meet Princess Allura of Planet Arus. You won a medal fighting during the Baltan Blitz. The Garrison paid for your college funds and you loved to fight on the battlefield, sometimes with a gun, other times with a sword and usually with a grenade. Do you remember that?"
Lauren nodded, "Yes. I remember." she said. "A lot of lives depended on me holding the position that day. I did what I had to do."
Jane chimed in and said, "Whatever you did during that time, it was damn impressive." she told her, as she sat down next to her. "I was reading up on your record and I admit, I'm quite impressed."
"Thank you, Jane." she said.
"You're welcome. I had friends who were there that day." said Jane.
Felicity then said, "Let's try something more recent." she stared off. "Planet Barzonax, where you destroyed a cloning facility that was being used by a race called the Babarue. You had to leave one of your squad behind to die in the blast."
"Corporal Emil Shlizetti was killed in action," said Mike. "It was your call, why did you leave him behind?"
Thinking it over, Lauren knew a few things about him, "I left someone to die that day, and I didn't do it casually. But, I had to save as many people as I could." she said to him. "Emil gave his life for the rest of my old team back there, even if he was always bullying everyone around. But without him, I couldn't have stopped the Babarue. He lived an asshole, but died a hero in the end." she admitted.
This made them all stunned by that. "I suppose even the biggest a-holes redeem themselves in the end," said Jane.
"I understand Lieutenant." said Mike, understanding her. "And, I wasn't judging your decision. Everybody in the Space Riders knows that that cloning facility had to be destroyed."
Felicity then said, "There really are other tests we should run, but that can wait."
Leon nodded and said, "Right, Felicity. Enough with the quizzes for now." he started. "The memories are there, and I can vouch for her skill in combat and her precision."
"Very well then." Felicity agreed. "We'll just have to hope the boss accepts our field tests as evidence enough. Time to meet Mr. Fletcher-Danielson."
Just then, something had occurred to Jane, "Oh god, Shane! We left him behind!" she panicked.
However, a communicator beeped. "No need to worry about him, we got him and we're on our way to the watch station right now!" The voice turned out to be Keith, and it was true, Shane was in the cockpit of Voltron. Jane breathed a sigh of relief. They made the jump into hyperspace and when they exited, they made a stop by the Space Rider's RevivalKnight project stations, this was Station Alpha-569-Epsilon.
They all entered at the same time, and Lauren hugged Keith, Lance, Hunk and Pidge. Shiro arrived a little late and he hugged Lauren. "It's good to have you back, Lauren."
"Good to be back, Shiro." Lauren said, releasing the hug. "Seems I have some extra bits and pieces now." she pointed to her chest. "And it seems as though the formula Leon used to keep me alive made my boobs bigger." she cupped them and made Shiro blush a little. "Sorry about that."
"It's alright with me." said Shiro, being nonchalant. "I'm sorry Sven couldn't be here. He's probably spending time with his son."
Lauren gasped, "Sven has a boy? I'd like to meet him soon." she said. "But other than that, is Shane alright?"
Keith nodded, and Shane entered the room as he ran up and hugged Lauren, his mom and little brother. The sight of this made Felicity smile a little bit. "Sorry if I worried you all."
"It's okay, but don't scare us like that again!" said Jane, being concerned for her oldest boy. "How did you survive that battle?"
Shane explained everything. "Well, after the jet I was using got hit by this laser, I ejected at the last mega-cycle. And then, this armored alien, Cyber Valky tried to stab me, but then He saved me." he said.
"He?" asked Jane, getting a nod from him.
Keith asked, "You mean, that giant who saved Voltron on Shakarrdon IV?"
"Yes, he was the one who saved me," said Shane.
"I can vouch for that." Lance said, and the rest of them agreed to that matter.
Jane then turned to her son and said, "You kept saying he was as if you knew him, but who is 'He'? What's his name? Does he even have one?"
Shane then told his mom, "Yes, Zaidar…He's Ultraman Zaidar."
"Ultraman Zaidar?" asked Keith. "Hmm, well, it does have a certain ring to it."
"I like it!" said Mike, agreeing to calling the giant warrior, Ultraman Zaidar.
Lauren nodded. A few minutes later, Shane looked out the window and saw how lovely the view was, it was at that moment that Lauren went over to him. "Quite a sight, isn't it?" she asked, getting his attention. "You handled that jet very well."
"Thanks." Shane replied. "You did good too, with how you took down all of those service bots and mechs."
"Aww, you're such a sweet boy." said the woman, giving him a little peck on the cheek. He blushed and then she said, "So, why'd you space out?"
"Well, I've flown ships before, but I never left my planet," he admitted. "To leave it for the first time, it's both bone-chilling and awe-inspiring."
"Yeah, it is." Lauren said, as she pulled Shane's head close to her new giant bosom. Shane looked down at the Zaidarion Spark and he shut his eyes and rested on her boobs as they rested up before Lauren had to meet Mr. Fletcher-Danielson.
