Last chapter...
"What's going on, Angelo?", Will asked as they all landed.
"The pirates aren't done yet.", Angelo said from the Black Lions loud speackers.
"But they retreated.", Hay Lin said.
"But they have one more card to play.", Jun Lin said from the Green Lion loud speackers.
"And that is?", Irma questioned when suddenly the pirate command ship began to take off.
"You're about to find out.", Harold said from the Yellow Lion loud speackers as everyone looked at the ship as it was lifting off.
Once the ship was high enough, Rubduos gave the order.
"Release it!", he said to one of the crewmen.
"Yes, Sir!", the crewman said as he began to punch in a command on his panel.
Outside the ship a large bay door open where a something was launched from it. Once it landed everyone from the Voltron Force to the Guardians and Metamoorians saw what it was. It was a gaint robot that had one red eye and claws for fingers and toes.
"Ladies and gentlemen.", Angelo said getting their attention. "This is our big problem.", Angelo said knowing what he and the rest of the Voltron Force had to do.
"Somethings never change.", Harold said.
A/N: Just so you should know, the Robot Lions are the ones from the "Voltron Force" show. They look more like lions than the look they had in the old "Voltron" show. But the old show still rocks!
Now back to the story!
Chapter 13: Enter Voltron
"That's one giant robot!", Irma said as the giant machine came walking towards them.
"And it has just one mission.", Harold said. "Taking us out!"
"And they always fail!", Jun Lin said. "So what else is new?"
"Nothing!", Marcus said. "We protect the innocent and kick butt!"
"Then let's do what we do best!", Malcom said ready to fight.
"Will! Keep everyone back!", Angelo said as he had Black Lion turn to look down at Will and the other Guardians.
"What are you going to do?", Will questioned.
"Our job.", Angelo said as he and the rest of Voltron Force flew towards the robot warrior.
"So what's the game plan?", Marcus questioned.
"Take out that robot without doing much damage to the land!", Angelo said. "Red and Green, go for his legs! Yellow and Blue, take care of those arms!"
No words were said as Red Lion attacked the robot's left arm while Blue Lion went after the right leg followed buy Green Lion went after the right arm, and the Yellow Lion attacked the left leg. And finally the Black Lion attacked the head of the robot. All were doing good until the robot unleashed a wave of power that sent the Lions flying off of it. The Lions landed on their sides but quickly recovered.
"What the heck was that?", Marcus questioned as he and the rest of Voltron Force got their Lions to their feet.
"No clue!", Jun Lin said. "But it packs a punch!"
"Whatever it is, it has to be stopped.!", Harold replied.
"No argument there!", Malcom said as he noticed the robot was about to unleash another attack. "Incoming!"
Everyone braced themselves as the attack was fired knocking them back a bit. Watching this from his command ship, Rubduos smiled proud of how his robot was handling the Voltron Force.
"Excellent!", Rubduos said with a smirk. "It seems that the energy crystals, of this world, are making my robot stronger than it was before! Tell me, how much of the crystals do we have were used to fuel my robot?"
"Only 10%, Sir.", the crewman, Rubduos was talking to, said.
"Only 10%?", Rubduos questioned in surprise before a smirk grew on his face. "That is most impressive.", he said as he continued to watch the battle unfold.
As for the Voltron Force, they were getting their blows in, but the robot was just to strong for them.
"This robot is strong!", Malcom said. "A lot stronger than the ones we fought in the past!"
"And I can tell you why!", Jun Lin said. "Scanners are picking up a strange power source powering the robot."
"A new power source?", Harold questioned.
"Yeah!", Jun Lin said. "And here's the kicker! The energy signiture is the same that's coming from the mountians nearby!"
"So, the pirates are using whatever they took from the mountians here!", Marcus figured. "That's not good!"
"Angelo! I think we better bring out the big guns!", Harold suggested.
"I couldn't agree more!", Angelo said as they all got their Lions ready. "Let's do this!", he said as they all took to the sky surprising the Guardians and Metamoorians who were suddenly confused by their actions.
"What are they doing?", Caleb questioned.
"Are they running away?", Irma questioned.
"No way!", Will said. "They wouldn't do that!"
"And how can you be so sure?", Taranee questioned.
"Look!", Hay Lin said as she kept her eyes on the Lions.
Everyone looked up to see the Lions go a bit faster as they began to glow a bit.
"Ready to form Voltron!", Angelo said ready to end this battle. "Activate interlocks! Dynotherms connected! Infercells up! Megathrusters are go!", he said as he and the others activated what needed to be activated, in their Lions.
"Let's! Go! Voltron Force!", the five of them shouted as the Lions flew up faster.
The Lions then let out a mighty roar as they began to make a change. The Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow Lions' legs folded inwards while the Black Lion outstretched it's legs as all of them pulled their tails in.
"Form feet and legs!", Angelo said to Yellow and Blue Lion.
Blue and Yellow Lion transformed themselves into legs and feet.
"Feet and legs formed!", Malcom and Harold said.
"Form arms and body!", Angelo said to Red and Green Lion.
The Red Lion connected with Black Lion's upper right leg while Green Lion connected with Black Lion's upper left leg.
"Arms and body formed!", Marcus and Jun Lin said.
Then, Blue Lion connected with Black Lion's lower right leg and Yellow Lion connected with Black Lion's lower left leg forming a giant robot of their own!
"And I'll form the head!", Angelo said as the Black Lion's head opened up to show a metallic face with what looked like a blue mask with yellow eyes.
Voltron was formed!
"What on Metamoor is that?", Vathek questioned.
"Voltron.", Will said in a whispered voice as she and the others marveled at the giant robot that was coming in for a landing.
As Voltron came in for a landing, the Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue Lions let out a mighty roar before making a powerful landing that shook the ground.
"Whoa!", Elyon said as she and the others felt the powerful vibration. "Now that was powerful!"
"Tell me about it!", Hay Lin said.
Back on Erutana, everyone looked with amazment at Voltron through the wide sreen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may introduce you all to Voltron.", Sam said.
"Wow!", Susan said. "That's big!"
"COOL!", Chris said.
"Tatally!", Stephen said. "So, what can it do now?"
"Just watch.", Sam said.
"Be careful, you guys.", Cornelia said worrying about her father and Angelo.
Back on Metamoor, the Voltron Force was ready to fight and defeat the robot that stood before them.
"Let's finish this fight!", Angelo said as he had Voltron charge at the robot!
Once close enough, Voltron hit the robot with a hard right followed by a hard left which knocked the robot back a few feet. Well... A few giant robot feet that is. You get the idea! The robot quickly gained it's balance and took a fighting stance. Once it did this, it's claws, on it's hands glowed and extanded! It then jumped at Voltron and swiped at it. But Voltron quickly jumped back, dodging the attack.
"Jun Lin! Plasma Cannon!", Angelo said as he rasied Voltron's left arm.
"You got it!", Jun Lin said as she actuivated the back cannon on Green Lion.
The blast from Green Lion's cannon was fired, but the robot used it's claws to block the attack! It then fired a powerful laser from it's eye which knocked Voltron back a few feet. It then began to fired more laser blast from it's eye which Voltron dodged quickly by taking to the air. The robot then took off after them with the rockets in it's feet. Soon the two were trading blow for blow in an attempt to defeat one another. Seeing this from his command ship, Rubduos knew how this would end if it were to continue the way it was going.
"We need to gain the upper hand!", he said before he looked down at the Guardians and those wth them. "And I know just how to gain the upper hand!", he said with a smirk. "Have the robot target those fools on the ground!"
"Yes, Sir!", the crewman said as he punched in a few commands for the robot.
Suddenly, the robot moved back from Voltron and aimed it's laser eye at those on the ground and fired a powerful blast at them.
"No!", Angelo yelled as the blast was fired.
"Hay Ln!", Yan Lin cried fearing for her niece.
Seeing this from Erutana, the families of the girls as well as their boyfriends saw this and were scared for them. As well a Cornelia, who was afraid for her best friend, Elyon. But were releaved when they saw Elyon put up a powerful force field to block the attack.
"Thank Heavens!", Anna said breathing a sigh of relief along with the others.
But then the force field fell as Elyon fainted from the strain of blocking the attack. Caleb was able to catch her but he along with the others knew that she was going to be out of it for a while.
"What now?", Irma questioned as the robot was preparing to fire another blast.
Suddenly, Voltron flew down to where they were to block the attack.
"Form Green Center!", Angelo said to the rest of the team.
Suddenly, Voltron seperated and reformed with the Black Lion as the left arm and the Green Lion as the body and head. Once it landed in front of Will and the others, Voltron outstretched it's arms and...
"Form Boomerang Shield!", Jun Lin said as she had Votron's hands slam together.
Once it did this, a thing of energy was created and formed a circular green shield on the left arm of Voltron. Sticking out of the edge of the shield were three spikes. Voltron then took a defencive stance as the robot fired a powerful laser blast at it. But with the shield, at the ready, Voltron was able to block the attack protecting the others!
"Phew!", Will said. "That was a close one!"
"I don't think it's over yet!", Irma said as she saw the robot power up it's eye for another blast.
The robot then fired a power laser beam from it's eye at Voltron. Once again, Voltron used the shield to block the continuous laser beam and deflect the beam back at the robot hitting it in the eye, which got cheers from the Metamoorian troops. As for the Voltron Force, they saw that the robot's laser eye was damaged and ready to be taken out.
"I think it's blade time!", Jun Lin said as she had Voltron take to the sky.
"Couldn't agree more!", Angelo said. "Form Black Center!"
Once again, Voltron seperated and reformed with the Green Lion as the left arm and the Black Lion as the body and head.
"Form Blazing Sword!", Angelo said as he had Voltron's hands come together.
Once it did this, a thing of energy was created and the arms stretched it out and it became a mighty sword ready to cut down the pirate's robot.
"Time to end this!", Angelo said as he had Voltron fly at the robot.
Once it was close enough, Voltron brought the Blazing Sword down on the robot cutting through it! Everyone watched as the robot fell apart from where it was slashed at and then blow up and burn up in the explosion leaving very little of itself. Seeeing this, Rubduos knew it was time to leave.
"Let us leave this world.", Rubduos said to the helmsman. "For now."
"Yes, Sir!", the helmsman said as he steered the command ship towards space and had it leave the world of Metamoor.
As the ship flew through space at max speed, Rubduos sat in his captian's chair with a smirk on his face as he reviewed the battle that just took place.
"Now if 10% can do that much, for a robot, then think of what these crystals can do for our ships.", he said with a smile. "We must get more! But for now we must leave. But we will be back, Metamoor! That is a promise!
Back on Metamoor, Voltron had seperated back into it's five robot lions and they had landed among the Guardians, Elyon, and her troops who gave them a hero's welcome for defeating the pirates. Needless to say that Elyon was quite surprised to see Harold Hale among them.
"Ummm... Hi, Mr. Hale.", Elyon said with a somewhat nervous smile.
"Hello, Elyon.", Harold said with a smile. "Or should I say, Your Majesty?", he questioned making Elyon blush a bit.
"You were amazing, Aunt Jun!", Hay Lin said to her aunt. "Wait! That was you in control when your lion was the body, right?"
"Of course it was!", Jun Lin said with a proud smile. "Which ever lion is the body controls Voltron."
"And I'm guessing that each lion has their own weapon when they form the body.", Will said to Angelo.
"You got it.", Angelo said. "And Voltron gets a special ability depending on with lion is the center."
"So, what happened now?", Will asked.
"Now, we find out what kind of energy gave the robot it's power boost.", Angelo said. "According to Aunt Jun, the source of it's power comes from the mountians of this world."
"You must mean the energy crystals, in the mountians.", Elyon replied as she walked up to Will and Angelo. "That Rubduos guy said something about using them to power their ships."
"Not to mention their robots.", Malcom added.
"We still beat the thing.", Marcus said.
"Perhaps.", Malcom said. "But ten to one, this was a trial run. They'll find a way to use the crystals better. And that could be a major problem for all the Known Worlds."
"Including Kandrakar!", Taranee said.
"Which means that the pirates will be coming back here.", Harold said.
"Then we'll fight them!", Caleb said.
"You're brave.", Angelo said. "I'll give you that. But may I suggest that you use the energy crystals to protect your world."
"Like making force fields to protect your cities, towns, and villages.", Jun Lin suggested.
"A little offence wouldn't hurt either.", Marcus said.
"That could work, except Metamoor is a bit behind on technology.", Elyon said.
"What about Kandrakar?", Malcom questioned.
"Nothing.", Irma said.
"Well, you may be able to use your powers as the Heart of Metamoor to use the energy crystals the way you want them.", Jun Lin said to Elyon.
"Worth a shot.", Elyon said. "By the way, how did you guys find out about the pirates being here?"
"That's easy.", Malcom said. "We have a satillite in this part of the universe that alerts us to any pirate movement."
"So, when thy came to your world, we were alerted to them being here.", Angelo said.
"Well, on behalf of the people of Metamoor, I thank you for helping us in our hour of need.", Elyon said as she shook Angelo's hand.
"Just doing what we do.", Angelo said with a smile.
"So, when will the pirates be coming back here, Aunt Jun?", Hay Lin asked.
"No clue.", Jun Lin said. "But I do know that they're planning on a way to sneak onto this world, without being spotted."
As for Rubduos, he was walking through the halls of his command ship only to end up at the door of one who could help him. He pressed the button on a panel to open the door and enter the room. Once in the room, he looked around to see that it was the way it's always been. Dark blue walls and ceiling with a green carpet floor. Sitting in the center of the room, in a lotus position, was a female with purple skin like the other pirates. She had pink hair that went down a little past her shoulder and green eyes. She was dressed in a navy blue robe and slippers with a silver headband and bracers. Around her neck was a black leather chocker with a silver snake hanging from it.
"Hello, Canna.", Rubduos said to the woman as he stood before the woman. "How's my favorite mystic doing?"
Canna, who was meditating, opened her eyes and looked up at Rubduos with a sly smile.
"I take it that you want me to help you with your little 'Lion' problem.", Canna said with a smirk.
"Can you help?", Rubduos asked the woman.
"Of course I can.", Canna said in a bored tone. "I saw the battle through my telepathy and found a way to attack the Voltron Force and their new allies."
"Excellent.", Rubduos said. "When do you plan on doing this?"
"I already have.", Canna said with a smirk.
"I like your style, Canna.", Rubduos said as he turned to leave the room. "Would you like to join me for dinner in a few hours?"
"Rubduos. You charmer you.", Canna said with a smirk that Rubduos returned. "I think I will be able to join you for dinner."
"Then I will see you in an hour.", Rubduos said before leaving the room.
As he walked down the halls, of his ship, Rubduos smiled to himself.
"Soon, the Voltron Force and their new friends will be out of my way.", he said to himself. "And then Metamoor and their energy crystals shall belong to the Pirate Hoard!", he said before he broke out into sinister laughter!
A/N: Well folks, the robot may be beaten, but Rubduos' mystic, Canna, has set a plan in motion to get rid of our heroes! Question is, what kind of plan is it and how will it affect our heroes?
Please review.
