The PRESIDENT of the United States is on the television screen.

PRESIDENTI am the President of the United States but I would like to speak as the ambassador for all nations. We are entering a third World War. We are not fighting among ourselves, this is not about the Axis against the Allies, this is not about terrorism. This is about us, as one nation and our survival. This is a global war. This could mean the very existence of the human race. It is imperative that we put aside our differences so we can defeat these invaders, so we can continue to live. I ask, it is required, that all of the world's military forces combine as one unit for the preservation of the human species.

HUNKThis little guy is Pidge. He was part of the collision.

LANCEDoes anyone know where we are?

SVENAren't we in the States?

KEITHI'm not sure.

Hunk, Lance, Keith, Pidge and Sven stop at the edge of a metropolitan.

Skyscrapers and structures of Latin American influence rise above them.

PIDGEMexico City.

Hunk, Lance, Keith and Sven turn to look at Pidge.

Pedestrians walk around them. Most look but none speak or stop.

PIDGE (CONT’D)That is the Torre Latinoamericana.

Pidge is pointing at a building reaching the skies with a needle at the top.

PIDGE (CONT’D)I recognize it from my studies of Latin America. It is the first skyscraper built in Latin America.

LANCEMexico City? We crashed landed in Mexico?

HUNKI'm happy that the crash landing wasn't my last crash landing. It wouldn't have mattered to me if we landed in a vat of acid as long as I'm able to feel the burn.

Lance, Keith, Sven, Hunk and Pidge looks at their surroundings.

HUNK (CONT’D)Does anyone know how to speak Spanish so we can get something to eat. I know I can speak for everyone and say I'm starving.

22.

Pidge stops a passerby and conducts a conversation MOS.

The passerby continues walking.

PIDGEThere is a restaurant down the boulevard about four blocks.

SVENHow many languages can you speak?

PIDGEJust three.

Hunk, Lance, Keith, Pidge and Sven begin walking along the sidewalk.

Cars drive by on the street and pedestrians walk past on either side.

LANCEThe smog here is horrible. It's like Los Angeles and New York smashed together.

Lance begins coughing.

EXT. RESTAURANT - CONTINUOUS

Pidge stops in front of the doors. Keith, Lance, Hunk and Sven stop behind him.

SVENWhat do they serve here?

HUNKI don't care. Right now I can eat a Gila monster.

LANCEBe careful, that maybe part of the cuisine here.

KEITHI just notice something.

Hunk, Lance, Sven and Pidge turn around to look at Keith.

Keith is standing on a street corner looking at the buildings and the bustle of the citizens.

23.

KEITH (CONT’D)Why is business going on as usual here? With all of the fighting and explosions going on in the air, why isn't this city damaged? Why isn't there chaos in the streets?

Keith looks over at Hunk, Lance, Sven and Pidge.

KEITH (CONT’D)Wasn't this a global attack? If you three collided over the country, then that would have meant this country would have been attacked too.

HUNKI just survived a mid-air collision and had almost forgotten why until now.

PIDGEWell, it may not be that simple Keith. Were your base under attack?

KEITHI'll say so.

PIDGEHow about yours Sven?

SVENNo. We were sent into combat because of the Executive Order.

Sven points at Keith.

SVEN (CONT’D)an order giving by your President I may add.

PIDGEWhen I first arrived back on base, it appeared to me that we were under attack. But now that I've had time to think about it, I can't say for sure. I believe most of the air to ground strikes were debris or misfires. I could almost be sure of that.

Lance shakes his head.

24.

LANCEDoesn't make sense. Why would the government sign off on an offensive without being attacked first?

PIDGEWhy would your government sign off to drop not one but two atomic bombs on entire villages?

KEITHThe offensive measure was because we, the world, were threatened.

HUNKBut they didn't attack any cities. They're not attacking anything now.

PIDGEIt could be the simple case of the fear of the unknown.

A family exits the restaurant with two children.

The kids had broken away from their parents and have found themselves playing on the edge of the sidewalk.

The boy steps down into the street just as a car speeds through the intersection.

The mother screams.

Hunk launches himself into the air and lands on top of the boy. He wraps the boy up against his body and rolls away from an approaching car.

Laying in the middle of the street, Hunk curls himself into a ball, shielding the boy with his body.

A car SLAMS on brakes. The vehicle behind it slams into the back of the first car.

A third car slams into the back of the second vehicle.

Hunk opens his arms and looks down at the boy. The boy is not crying but is staring up at Hunk with wide eyes.

Hunk smiles at the boy and gives him a playful punch underneath the chin.

Hands reach down to grab the child.

Keith and Lance reach down to pick Hunk up from off the street.

25.

LANCEAre you okay big fella?

HUNKWho cares about me? How's the kid?

Hunk looks over at the boy who is in his mother's arms.

KEITHHe's fine thanks to you.

The Protection and Transit Directorate arrived on the scene. Pidge, along with the parents and few drivers, give the police statements.

Hunk shrugs off the roll. He goes over to the parents who give him a hug.

The boy's sister hugs Hunk.

Hunk smiles.

SVENWhat do you think we should do?

KEITHWe can't walk around the city all night and unless anyone else has any other ideas, this is our best choice.

Sven and Keith do the same.

LANCE (O.S.)I have first dibs on the shower.

The bathroom door closes. The shower is turned on.

Hunk comes from out of the kitchenette with a sandwich in his right hand. He is chewing profusely.

HUNKDid someone say something?

PIDGEYeah. I said that it looks like someone guessed your drawz size.

Pidge throws a pair of briefs at Hunk.

Lance and Hunk come out of the bedroom. They stare at Allura as she walks through the kitchenette.

KEITHWould you like a seat Princess?

Lance and Hunk looks at each other and mouthed 'Princess.’

ALLURAPlease, it's just Allura. I am technically a princess but I don't have much political clout. It's a lineage thing and yes I would like a seat.

30.

Allura sits down on the sofa but continues looking around the suite.

ALLURA (CONT’D)Did you like the room? Sorry there wasn't more beds; I guess I could have gotten you separate rooms but I wanted to keep all of you together.

LANCEYou paid for this?

ALLURAYes I did. I don't have much clout but I can throw what little I do have around.

Allura chuckles.

KEITHWe appreciate your generosity Allura but how and why us?

ALLURAI had too. The little boy that you saved, he's a distant relative of mine.

Lance, Keith, Sven and Pidge looks at Hunk.

Allura eyes Hunk. She gets up, walks over to Hunk and gives him a hug.

Hunk hugs her back, blushing.

HUNKIt's no big deal. I was just doing what anybody else would have done.

Allura backs away from the embrace and stares Hunk in the eyes for a moment. She looks at Lance before turning around to face Sven, Keith and Pidge.

KEITHOh, I'm sorry Allura but I'm Keith, this is Pidge, he's Sven, that's Lance on your right and your hero there is Hunk.

LANCEWe're American air force pilots.

31.

SVENExcept for me. I'm Norwegian.

PIDGEI'm Australian.

Allura goes back over to the sofa where she sits down again.

ALLURAAs I said earlier, I am a princess. My great, great grandfather was the last king of the Aztec Empire. I'm one of the final pure blood Aztec Indians left. That's why I have some power because the Empire and everything belonging to my people belongs to me. I've inherited everything which makes me rich, I guess, but a lot of the smaller artifacts aren't worth as much as people believe.

PIDGEAllura are you sure? I mean how much is the empire worth?

Allura shrugs.

ALLURAIn the millions.

Lance and Hunk whistles.

Allura laughs.

KEITHI've been meaning to ask you but where are we? The driver didn't talk to us, he didn't tell us anything.

ALLURASorry but he doesn't speak English or Spanish for that matter. He mostly just speaks Na'huatl.

SVENWhat?

PIDGENa'huatl, it's the Aztec language.

Allura laughs.

32.

ALLURAYeah. As you can guess he's Aztec too.

Allura stands up.

ALLURA (CONT’D)Come on, let me show you around.

EXT. HOTEL - DAY

Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Keith and Sven walk outside. There is a van waiting for them.

The same driver is standing beside the open door.

Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Keith and Sven gets inside.

INT. VAN

Allura speaks to the driver.

EXT. HOTEL - CONTINUOUS

The van pulls out of the parking lot.

INT. VAN

ALLURABefore we actually leave the city, I want to show you all something.

EXT. HIGHWAY

The van drives through Mexico City in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

INT. VAN

Hunk is looking out of the window.

HUNKThis is like the 405.

EXT. CITY

The van stops in the city square.

33.

Allura, Keith, Lance, Pidge, Sven and Hunk get out of the van.

Allura leads them to Tenochtitlan.

ALLURAThis is, was, the center of my peoples civilization. This is Tenochtitlan.

Pidge smiles.

Lance, Keith, Sven and Hunk stare in silence.

ALLURA (CONT’D)I come here sometimes to remind myself that this city started right here with my ancestors.

SVENIt should make you proud.

ALLURAIt does I guess. Let's go on to the pyramid.

EXT. TEOTIHUACAN - DAY

The van parks below a large mountain. Lance, Keith, Pidge, Hunk and Sven looks upward.

ALLURALet's go up.

Keith, Pidge, Hunk, Lance and Sven follows Allura up the steps.

At the summit, Lance, Hunk, Sven, Keith and Pidge are breathing heavily.

ALLURA (CONT’D)We are standing on the steps of the Sun Pyramid. This site was not originally built by my ancestors but we praised this spot like our very own. In fact, it became an important city for the Aztec empire.

LANCEWhat is that pyramid way out in the distance?

34.

In the distance is a pyramid with a statue of a lion on the top of it.

ALLURAIt's the Pyramid of the Moon but no one knows what it was originally built for.

The group stares out over Teotihuacan.

ALLURA (CONT’D)When I came up here as a child, I would stand here, lift my arms up as high as I could and believed that I could touch the sky.

Allura smiles. She stands quietly for a moment looking out over Teotihuacan.

ALLURA (CONT’D)Why don't you all come to the house for dinner tonight?

HUNKThat's sounds like a great idea to me.

Hunk smiles.

SVENYeah, me too.

ALLURAGreat. I'll have my driver pick you up bring my driver around six.

The six of them start back down the pyramid.

INT. ALLURA’S STUDY - NIGHT

Pidge and Keith are looking at the books on the shelves.

PIDGEI wouldn't have pictured you to be a reader.

KEITHBeing a commander of the U.S. Air Force takes a lot more studiousness than maybe people realize. I love reading, I love knowledge cause it helps me when I'm up in the air with my squadron.

35.

(MORE)

I want them to be able to trust me when we are in the middle of a battle.

PIDGEIf I had a choice, I wouldn't want to go to battle with anyone else.

Pidge looks over at Keith who is returning the stare. They nod their heads at one another.

ALLURAWho knew that you two would spend more time among these old books than with actual people?

Keith and Pidge turns around.

KEITHJust seeing what you have.

Allura shakes her head. She smiles.

Keith smiles in return.

INT. DEN

Lance is sitting in an arm chair. Hunk is sitting in the sofa.

Lance and Hunk are drinking from champagne glasses.

Sven is sitting along the windowsill. He is looking up out of the window.

SVENIs it just me or is it dark outside?

LANCEI would think so, it is night time.

SVENNo, I don't see anything but blackness; no stars, no moon, nothing.

Keith walks over to the window where Sven is sitting.

KEITHAllura, turn on the television.

36.

KEITH (CONT'D)

Allura turns on the television. There is a newscast being aired.

HUNKIt's in Spanish. We're not going to…

Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Allura and Sven turn toward the television.

Keith keeps his eyes out and upward.

On the news report there are aerial shots from both news and police helicopters. They are circling a gigantic spaceship that disappears off of the screen.

ALLURAThey said that it is stretching over the entire continent.

KEITHWell we know what their plan is now.

Keith turns away from the window.

KEITH (CONT’D)They wanted to deplete the world's military forces so they can destroy the planet.

SVENHow can you be sure?

LANCEThey were taking us down for something.

SVENBut we started attacking first. Maybe they were the ones on the defensive.

HUNKDamn that! We survived a plane crash not because they ran into us delivering cakes but because they shot Pidge down.

ALLURAWhat do you think they are doing?

37.

KEITHI would say setting up, like a chess game.

ALLURAFor what? For how long?

No one speaks. They all stare at the television.

EXT. ALLURA’S HOUSE - NIGHT

Hunk, Lance, Keith, Sven and Allura are standing in the yard looking upward.

SVENI've never seen anything so massive before. It continues on forever.

Lights blink underneath the UFO.

HUNKThis can very well be the apocalypse.

INT. ALLURA’S STUDY - CONTINUOUS

Pidge pulls a book down from off of the shelf. He walks it over to the desk.

Pidge opens the book. Inside is a drawing of five lions being connected by an oval.

Pidge walks out of the study.

EXT. ALLURA’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

PIDGEAllura?

Allura turns around. So does Lance, Sven, Hunk and Keith.

Pidge motions for Allura to follow him.

Allura, Keith, Hunk, Lance and Sven goes inside the house.

INT. ALLURA’S STUDY - CONTINUOUS

Pidge is sitting down at the desk.

Allura, Keith, Lance, Hunk and Sven approaches Pidge.

38.

PIDGEAllura read this for me. I can kinda understand the pictographs but the writing is in Na'huatl.

Allura looks over Pidge’s shoulder.

Keith, Lance, Hunk and Sven stand around behind them in a circle.

ALLURAIt reads that lions are the guardians of the horizons.

KEITHLions? Isn't that more of an Egyptian culture?

PIDGEIt's not unusual to see different cultures and civilizations blend. The United States is a prime example of that. Since you all are the melting pot of the world.

Allura looks back and forth at Pidge and Keith. She clears her throat to return the attention back to her.

ALLURAContinuing on. It also talks about a mythic being, a creature created by combing five lion guardians that are powered by earth's elements.

QUICK FLASHES - THE ROBOT LIONS

-- A shadowy lion flies out of the wind.

-- A shadowy lion flies out of the water.

-- A shadowy lion flies out of fire.

-- A shadowy lion lies out of the ground.

-- A lightening flash. A shadowy lion appears.

ALLURA (V.O.)This being is believed to be the supreme defender of the Universe. A being called Voltron.

-- A shadowy Voltron wields its sword.

39.

END OF QUICK FLASHES.

INT. ALLURA’S STUDY - NIGHT

LANCEThis is just a legend right? Like the Greek Gods, like Zeus. I mean there are stories like these in all ancient cultures; what is so special about this one?

PIDGEThere is a map.

Pidge points down at a page.

PIDGE (CONT’D)I'm pretty sure that this is a map showing the locations of the five lions. Do you agree Allura?

Allura examines the drawing.

ALLURAYes Pidge it is a map.

PIDGELet's go find them. What do you think Keith?

LANCEAre you kidding? This could end up being a wild goose chase. I would like to spend my last few hours or days or whatever time I have left to think about my life and to make peace with myself and my maker.

Keith speaks low.

KEITHLet's do it.

Hunk, Pidge, Sven, Lance and Allura turns to look at Keith.

LANCEWhat?

KEITHLet's look for them. What do we have to lose? If it is only a legend, what harm will it do?

40.

(MORE)

If these are our last days, how would you want to remember spending it? Sitting around waiting for the ball to drop or doing something adventurous?

SVENAnd what if it is true? Maybe these lions, or this Voltron is the way to save Earth's civilization. If we can reach them in time.

PIDGEI'm in.

HUNKWhat the hell? Me too.

Lance stands in silence for a long time. He nods his head.

ALLURAYou know you all can't do it without me right?

KEITHThere isn't a way we will be able to do this without you Allura.

PIDGEWhen do we start?

KEITHRight now.

HUNKIn the dark?

KEITHTime is of an essence. We do not know how much time we have so every minute counts.

LANCEHow are we going to get to these locations? How are we gonna see? How are we gonna get tools?

ALLURAGive me half an hour and I'll have everything that you'll need.

Allura picks up the telephone.

41.

KEITH (CONT'D)

INT. ALLURA’S DEN - NIGHT

Lance, Keith, Hunk, Sven and Pidge are standing around watching the television.

ALLURAOutside there are five fully gassed four-wheelers, each equipped with the essentials that you would need for exploration. Shovels, picks, axes, mountain climbing boots and walkie-talkies. There is also a flashlight in the kit somewhere.

Allura goes into a guest bedroom.

BEDROOM

Allura goes into the closet. She pulls out a wooden chest. She drags it along the floor and out of the bedroom.

DEN

Allura sits the wooden chest down in front of Lance, Hunk, Sven, Keith and Pidge.

Allura flips open the chest. Inside are orange, green, red, blue and black biker outfits.

ALLURAThese are some biker suits that I found and thought you should have them. They come with matching helmets.

EXT. TLATELOLCO - NIGHT

A single headlight stops alongside a stone hedge. Hunk cuts off the four-wheeler and removes his orange helmet.

Carrying a walkie-talkie and a flashlight, Hunk walks into the center of the Plaza de las Tres Culturas.

Hunk lifts the walkie-talkie up to his mouth.

HUNKHunk to base, I'm here.

ALLURA (V.O.)This is base. Do you see anything?

42.

HUNKNothing.

Hunk lowers the walkie-talkie.

Hunk stands in the middle of the Plaza shining the flashlight back and fourth. He walks around the area.

Hunk lifts the walkie-talkie up to his mouth.

HUNK (CONT’D)There isn't anything here but slabs of rock.

PIDGE (V.O.)It's there, it's gotta be there. Maybe it's buried. The lions are buried.

HUNKI'm going to dig where exactly?

Hunk lowers the walkie-talkie. There is not a response.

Hunk goes back to the four-wheeler and grabs a shovel and a pick and walks back to the center of the Plaza.

Hunk climbs up on an elevated slab of brick grazed over with dirt and grass, He begins shoveling.

Hunk shovels until the spade hits concrete.

Hunk grabs the pick and begins chipping away at the concrete. He stops to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He looks down at the orange biker suit and laughs.

There is a hollow sound like wood that makes Hunk stop swinging. He stomps down one, twice, three times.

On the fourth stomp, the ground underneath Hunk crumbles.

INT. CHASM - CONTINUOUS

Hunk crashes down. His fall is broken by a statue.

Hunk rolls over on his side and rubs his back. He sits up and rubs the back of his head.

Hunk begins crawling around the ground, feeling for the flashlight.

Hunk’s hand glide through the dirt. His fingers runs across the pick and then nothing.

43.

Hunk feels the circular enclosure for the light bulb of the flashlight seven feet away and to the left from where he landed.

Hunk flips on the switch.

Hunk shines the light throughout the cave. He sees that it is a cavern built of nothing more than hard caked dirt and mud.

Hunk walks up to a nearby wall and looks at the markings. Some are Na'huatl, some are pictographic but the bulk of them are alien.

There is a constant shower of dirt raining down from above Hunk producing a dirty mist.

Hunk shines the light over the cavern. The light shines over the statue standing two stories high and thirty yards long.

With the light, Hunk examines the statue. He approaches it and sees the statue has a lion’s head.

Hunk rubs the statue. He knocks on it. There is a metallic echo.

Hunk rubs dirt away from a spot. He shines the light over a yellow surface.

EXT. LAKE TEXCOCO - NIGHT

A four-wheeler is driving along a dirt road. Sven slams on the brakes.

The four-wheeler slides and Sven turns it sharply left. He and the four-wheeler crash to the ground.

All the equipment on the back falls out.

SVEN(to self)

Damn that was close.

Sven sits up on the ground and looks out over the water.

Sven stands up and brushes himself off. He takes off his all-black helmet before searching the ground for the flashlight.

Sven picks up the flashlight and turns it on. He shines the over the water.

KEITH (V.O.)Sven?

44.

Sven jumps.

Sven follows the cackle of the interference to the walkie-talkie. He picks it up from off of the ground.

KEITH (V.O.)Sven, are you there? Sven?

Sven lifts the walkie-talkie up to his mouth.

SVENI'm here.

KEITH (V.O.)Have you heard from Hunk?

SVENNo, what's wrong?

KEITH (V.O.)We haven't heard from him.

Sven looks up at the spaceship.

KEITH (V.O.)Did you find the location of the lion?

SVENYes but it looks as if it's at the bottom of the lake.

Sven sweeps the light over the water.

KEITH (V.O.)Guys, meet me in Teotihuacan.

Sven picks up the four-wheeler off of the ground. He hops on it and rides back up the same way he arrived.

All of the equipment is left on at the lake’s edge.

EXT. IZTACCÍHUATL - NIGHT

Riding on the four-wheeler, Lance sees the outline of the mountain rise up towards the spaceship.

Lance pulls off an actual road and begins driving across the rolling hills of the countryside.

Lance arrives at the base of the mountain and stares up at the peak. He grabs the flashlight and the pick and begins walking the mountain.

45.

Lance circles the base of the mountain. He comes to an opening in the mountain's base. He walks through the opening.

INT. IZTACCÍHUATL - CONTINUOUS

Biting down on the base of the flashlight, Lance swings the pick at the top of the opening.

The rock splits apart. A small waterfall of mountain tumbles down in front of Lance.

Lance throws the pick over to the side. He steps across the threshold of the mountain's face and into a descending tunnel.

Lance walks down the steep tunnel. He unzips the coat of his blue biker suit all the way.

The tunnel ends onto a small rock cliff inside the mountain.

A bright, orange-yellow light illuminates from beneath Lance.

Lance turns off the flashlight. He inches around the bend which dips lower.

Lance wipes the sweat from his forehead. He is looking down at magma.

EXT. IZTACCÍHUATL - NIGHT

Inaudible voices are coming from the walkie-talkie as Lance approaches the four-wheeler. He picks up the walkie-talkie.


EXT. MESA DEL NORTE - NIGHT

Riding on the four-wheeler, Pidge drives along through the low mountains.

In the distance, Pidge sees a dune larger than the rest of the terrain. He turns the four-wheeler towards the dune and deeper into the Mesa.

Pidge's mouth drops as he approaches the dune. He steps on the brake, slamming the four-wheeler to a stop.

Pidge removes his money green helmet and stares up at the dune.

46.

PIDGE(to self)

How can anybody miss this?

A metallic lion is sitting on top of a dune and creating a mountain smaller than normal but larger than the ones on this chain.

The metallic lion is covered with moss.

PIDGE (CONT’D)(to self)

This is fucking incredible. This is unreal.

Pidge walks around to the back and finds some footfalls where he climbs up onto the base where the lion sits.

Pidge shines the light over the bottom and sees a green glint.

Pidge kicks the lion. A metallic THUD echoes from it.

PIDGE (CONT’D)(to self)

This is definitely not Aztec. It's almost ... alien.

Pidge looks up at the spaceship hovering overhead.

Static interference comes from the walkie-talkie. Pidge walks back to the four-wheeler.


Pidge turns around and looks at the lion. He gets back onto the four-wheeler and drives away.

EXT. PYRAMID OF THE MOON - NIGHT

The four-wheeler stops at the bottom of the steps.

Keith gets off of the four-wheeler and removes his red helmet. He looks up at the spaceship hovering overhead.

Keith grabs the flashlight. He also grabs a bag from the rear basket.

Keith looks up at the spaceship again. He frowns.

Keith walks up the steps and into the pyramid.

47.

The lion is sitting on the top right corner of the temple.

INT. PYRAMID OF THE MOON - CONTINUOUS

Keith approaches a wooden door to the pyramid. It is locked shut.

Keith drops the bag to the ground and digs through it. He lifts up a drill. He turns the drill on.

The drill’s bit drills through the stone lock.

At the first sign of a crack, Keith uses the butt of the drill and smashes the lock until it crumbles.

Keith drops the drill and pulls open the door.

Keith turns on the flashlight. Inside there is a corridor with decorations and writings along the walls in different languages.

The corridor leads into one room, circular that extends upward to form the roof of the pyramid.

Sweeping the flashlight around Keith sees more writing on the walls. The light sweeps over five doors.

The doors are built into the wall circling in front of him. They face out toward the pyramid's opening.

Keith lifts up the walkie-talkie to his mouth.

KEITHGuys, meet me in Teotihuacan.

EXT. PYRAMID OF THE MOON - DAY

Pidge, Lance and Sven drive up to the pyramid from three different directions.

Pidge, Lance and Sven walk up the pyramid’s steps.


Pidge, Lance and Sven walk up and stand beside Keith. Keith is standing in the middle of the circular chamber facing the doors.

SVENWhat is this?

48.

KEITHI don't know. When I broke in, I found these doors built directly into the wall. What are your thoughts Pidge?

Pidge squints. He begins walking towards the door closes to him.

LANCEPidge, whatcha doing?

Pidge reaches the door and presses his hand on it.

PIDGEIt's cold. It feels like it's metal or iron. It feels like the same material that the lion is made from.

SVENLion? You found one?

PIDGEYes I did. In the Mesa del Norte in the Low Mountains.

Pidge rubs the door. There are not groves or handles.

Keith walks up behind Pidge.

KEITHPidge?

Pidge jumps.

KEITH (CONT’D)Can you read that? Do you know what those words or pictographs say or mean?

Keith is pointing up at the archway where there are languages etched into the stone.

Pidge looks up and examines the pictographs.

PIDGEThat's a lion's head.

Pidge is pointing at a pictograph of a cat head with a mane around it.

Sven and Lance are bending over Pidge’s shoulders.

49.

PIDGE (CONT’D)That means wind.

Pidge traces a pictograph with his finger.

PIDGE (CONT’D)So I guess it is giving information about the lion that is powered by the wind.

LANCEBut what is it saying?

PIDGEI don't know.

Sven steps up to the door in front of him and sees the same language above it.

Lance walks up to the door on their left.

LANCEOkay, why are we standing in front of doors that can't be opened? What do we do next oh great commander?

Standing in front of his own door, Keith runs his fingers along the frame. He feels a protrusion from the wall at the knee.

The protrusion is hidden away, camouflaged by the stone its imbedded in.

Keith uses a shard of rock that he finds on the chamber's floor and scrapes the surface.

Underneath the dirt and loose gravel is a symbol of a crown atop of a cross.

KEITHPidge look.

Pidge kneels down next to Keith. Lance and Sven joins them.

SVENWhat does that symbol mean?

PIDGEI've never seen it in anything I've studied before.

Pidge wraps his fingers around it and pulls. The protrusion comes out of the wall.

50.

The piece hit the floor. The door opens.

Pidge, Sven, Lance and Keith look inside.

SVENThat's a shute. It looks like an escape pod.

Lance goes closer and looks inside the pod without actually going inside.

There is only one seat and the pod takes up the entire opening.

LANCEIt looks like the inside of a cockpit. It just doesn't have an instrument panel.

Pidge searches around the door he was at. He finds the hard oval piece and pulls it from the wall.

The door opens. There is a pod inside.

PIDGEAll of the doors have these things. Find them and pull them off of the wall.

Sven pulls the object from the wall by the door he's at and it slides open.

Lance pulls the object from the wall by the door he's at and it slides open.

Behind each one is a pod with one seat and no instrument panel.

Fumbling with the oval wall piece, Keith pulls it apart and the middle springs out.

KEITHIt looks like a key.

Lance, Pidge and Sven looks at the key in Keith’s hand.

SVENA key to what?

PIDGETo whatever that pod goes I bet.

Pidge opens his key.

51.

Lance and Sven do the same.

KEITHLet's see.

Keith begins walking towards the door and the open pod.

Lance grabs Keith’s left arm stopping him.

LANCEAre you sure you want to do that? I mean we don't know where these will lead or even if they work. It could be some type of death trap.

KEITHWe've come too far to just quit. Our days of living could be at an end at any moment. When I joined the Air Force, I joined to make a difference. I've worked too hard just to wave the white flag.

Keith smiles.

KEITH (CONT’D)As far as I'm concerned, with that ship above us, it's like facing a firing squad with one wish left. And my wish is to save the world.

Lance stares at Keith and turns to look at Pidge and Sven. He gazes down at the key in his hand.

SVENWe're right behind you.

Keith, Sven, Pidge and Lance walk through their respective doors. They sit down in the seat in the pod and close the hatch.

INT. CHUTE - CONTINUOUS

The pods fling forward. Each pod zips through darkness. Each pod going into a different direction.

INT. SVEN’S POD

The darkness from being underground lightens as the pod travels into another portion of earth.

52.

Sven sits up slightly. The pod is now traveling underneath water.

The pod slows to a stop. It begins to climb upward.

INT. LION COCKPIT - SAME - CONTINUOUS

Sven inside a cockpit as the hatch opens up and the chair is thrust forward.

There are small strobe lights inside the otherwise dark cockpit.

Sven looks around. It is big enough for two people but only has one seat.

Everything is in front of him like in an F-16 with nothing behind him but a wall.

The hatch he came up in is a few feet behind his seat while there is another trap door below his feet.

On the instrument panel is a hole.

Sven opens his hand and holds the key up to eye level. He places the key into the slot.

Lights inside the cockpit and the panel come on.

A monitor to his right is turned on and he sees nothing but water.

The entire cockpit moves. Looking through the glass slits in front of him, Sven sees the rise in elevation.

Sven then he hears the roar.

INT. LANCE’S POD

Darkness gives away to the orange-yellow of the magma.

The pod slows, stops and begins to ascend.


The chair pushes Lance up to the instrument panel. He stares at the instrument panel.

Lance moves his hands over the panel and feels the empty slot. He lifts the key up and puts it into the keyhole.

53.

Everything lights up.

INT. LION COCKPIT - SAME

Pidge is thrust forward. He puts the key into the slot.


Keith is thrust forward. He inserts the key into the keyhole causing the lights to come on and the instrument panel to become activated.

Looking out through the glass slits, Keith sees darkness.

Keith fondles around the instrumental panel until he finds the ignition. The engine begins to run.

As the enginie revs up, the darkness begins to dissolve away.


Rocks are raining down from the top of the pyramid.

A metallic black lion begins to stand up.

EXT. IZTACCÍHUATL - DAY

The red lion explodes upward from out of the top. Magma drips off it.

The red lion slices through the spaceship.

EXT. LAKE TEXCOCO - DAY

The blue lion splashes upward from out of the water.

The blue lion slices through the spaceship on its ascent.

The sun’s rays are seen coming through the spaceship to the surface of the water.

EXT. LOW MOUNTAINS - DAY

A dirt cloud grows larger.

A RUMBLE is accompanied with the cloud as the green lion runs across the land.

54.

The green lion’s metallic tail is taunt behind it. Its four metallic legs churn away as it runs.

The green lion looks up.

The black lion smashes through the spaceship and lands beside the green lion.

KEITH (V.O.)Have anyone heard from Hunk?

SVEN (V.O.)No.

The blue lion touches down next to the black lion.

LANCE (V.O.)Me neither.

Another hole explodes from the ship as the red lion lands with a trot.

KEITH (V.O.)Pidge go find Hunk. Us three will begin work on the ship.

PIDGE (V.O.)Roger that.

The green lion begins running.

The black, blue and red lions crouch down and leap upward. They fly right through the spaceship.

INT. CHASM - DAY

Hunk is sitting on the ground underneath the lion’s left forepaw.

A light is shone through the hole that Hunk fell through. It grows in size.

Hunk stands up and walks over to it. He begins waving his arms back and forth over his head until the light encircles him.

The light disappears.

HUNKHey! Hey! I'm down here!

A metal rope chain is lowered down through the hole.

55.

Hunk wraps the end of the rope around his waist, secures it and then tugs it.

The rope begins pulling him up quickly and effortlessly.

EXT. TLATELOLCO - DAY

Hunk pulls himself up out of the chasm. He looks up and sees the rope is coming out of the tail of the green lion.

The green lion whips around to face him. It then drops its head and opens its mouth.

Pidge emerge from within, walking halfway down the mouth.

PIDGEWe thought that you may need a hand.

Pidge smiles.

Hunk laughs.

PIDGE (CONT’D)Come on, it's safe.

Pidge motions Hunk aboard.

Hunk walks up the mouth of the green lion.


PIDGEYou're filthy.

HUNKIt's raining dirt down there. Constantly.

Hunk wipes dirt off of his face with the back of his hand.

HUNK (CONT’D)But the other lion is down there.

PIDGEWe know but you need the key to start it.

Pidge points to the key on the instrument panel.

HUNKHow do you drive this baby?

56.

PIDGEI'll tell you along the way.

EXT. TLATELOLCO - CONTINUOUS

From a complete stand still, the green lion takes off, slicing through the bottom of the spaceship.

EXT. SKY - DAY

The black lion is flying above the spaceship. The blue and red lions burst through the spaceship.

Pieces of the spaceship breaks and falls off.

EXT. CITY - CONTINUOUS

Debris from the spaceship crashes down onto parked cars and through buildings.

EXT. SKY

The blue and red lions fly alongside the black lion.


SVENLook at this thing. We've been punching holes in it and it only looks like somebody chipped a finger nail.


LANCEAt least we've done some damage to it.


KEITHNot enough.

57.

EXT. SKY

LANCEAnd we're her because?

PIDGEI have a hunch that this isn't over. I believe that there maybe a mother ship.

HUNKA mother ship? Are you saying that these big things came from something else?

PIDGEIt's possible. Yes.

Hunk stops. He looks up into the sky as debris continues to fall. He jogs to catch up with the group.

Pidge, Lance, Keith, Sven and Hunk approach the observatory from the rear.

The back door is pad locked.

Voltron’s head appears from the mouth of the black lion.

Voltron hovers parallel to the mother ship.

HUNK (V.O.)The mother ship doesn't look so large now.

A hatch opens from the mother ship and light seeps from it. The intensity of the light grows until a laser beam is shot from the ship.

Voltron raises its arms to cover its chest. The blast knocks it back.

KEITH (V.O.)Lance, Pidge are you two okay?

LANCE (V.O.)It's getting a little warm in here.

SVEN (V.O.)You should be use to that.

With one final burst, the beam stops.

Voltron charges toward the mother ship. It flies up above the mother ship and pauses in mid-air.

Voltron claps its hands together causing a spark.

From that spark, a sword is formed from which Voltron wields in its right hand.

Voltron comes down with sword, slicing the ship in halves. It comes back around and slices the ship in fourths.

The mother ship explodes.

Answer me.

CAMARGOLet's be real Princess Allura, everyone knows that the heir of the Aztec empire belongs to you. You lucked out and ended up being blood to the 'royal' family and that you are rightfully entitled to everything. However, you also know that all of the Aztec ruins have been tourist attractions for years bringing revenue to this state in bunches. To maximize both Mexico City's capital and to bring money into the Aztec nation, we sold the property right to Tenochtitlan and every thing else from our culture to the state - to Mexico - so they can officially make the Aztec artifacts national landmarks. The Aztec people will be getting paid handsomely.

HUNKOh no. There is no way. Do you think we are being invaded again?

LANCEDid you see what we shot down? Nothing that big was flying in any of those crafts.

ALLURAThen what can it be? Is it even a hand print at all?

PIDGEI would like to go and check it out, if you don't mind Keith.

Keith shrugs.

Pidge walks along the sand. He shines the light around until the print is revealed by the beam.

Kneeling, Pidge sits the book bag down in the mud, unzips it and begins removing equipment at quicken pace.

Pidge pulls out a tape measure and gets the dimensions of the print. He pulls out a note pad and writes the numbers.

Pidge measures the distance between the print and the ocean and writes in the note pad.

Walking back to the street, Pidge sweeps the flashlight’s beam over a second hand print.

Allura laughs louder. She lifts her hand over her mouth when she notices that she’s the only one laughing.

Lance, Keith, Sven and Hunk approaches Pidge.

Allura looks at Keith, Lance, Sven and Hunk. She stops laughing.

Pidge stands up holding the note pad.

PIDGEI measured the prints.

Pidge tucks the note pad between his knees and holds his hands out, palm down.

PIDGEYes. There were two of them. Both of them with the same measurements.

Pidge lifts the note pad up.

PIDGE (CONT’D)Thirteen feet wide and from the top of the middle finger down to the wrist, eight feet long.

Pidge glances down at the note pad before dropping it down onto the book bag.

Pidge walks over to the stone podium in the middle of the chamber and rests his hands on it.

PIDGE (CONT’D)The impressions on the beach had a depth of about a foot as if it used the land to boost itself up from out of the water like this.

Pidge pushes down on the podium.

LANCEAre you telling us that there is a monster out there enormous enough to use an entire island to propel itself over the land?

PIDGEI didn't get a chance to examine the entire island but from just a quick scan from the infrared as I left I didn't see any other noticeable prints. So my deduction is that whatever it is, it used Bermuda like a spring board to cross onto the other side.

SVENBecause the landmass blocked its way. It hopped the island to continue swimming.

Pidge wipes the loose gravel from the podium off of his hands.

PIDGEYes I would have to say so.

ALLURASo if whatever it is still out there swimming in the Atlantic where is it going?

Camargo speaks with his back facing Allura.

CAMARGOWhat I've learned as an high official is to leave as little a paper trail as possible. A lot of regular people don't know that or disregard it altogether lucky me.

108.

ALLURA(to self)

Paper trail?

Allura looks down at the ground. She continues to frown. She turns around to look at Camargo.

ALLURA (CONT’D)The text. You were in the house? Why and what in the hell were you in my house?

CAMARGOYou allowed five strangers, five male strangers, to live in your house but get mad when your own flesh and blood visits you? I'm aghast.

Camargo smiles only for a moment.

Allura puffs, frowns and balls her fist up but only for a moment.

ALLURAThere were five places marked on the map, how did you know to come here?

Camargo smiles. He looks up at the pyramid.

CAMARGOIf you want to think back to your fondest memories you go back to your childhood. As kids we all came here to Teotihuacan. We all walked up to the Sun Pyramid where we prayed, celebrated, worshipped, et cetera. But we never came over here to the Pyramid of the Moon. Some said that it possesses great evil. The most agreed idea was that it held a secret but no one knew what.

Camargo walks up to the third step. He looks up to the pyramid’s entrance.

CAMARGO (CONT’D)For ages the mystery of what the Pyramid of the Moon hold wasn't spoken, only to be written within our history, buried deep in the Aztec culture. And what it held.

109.

Camargo turns around and looks back at Allura.

CAMARGO (CONT’D)Voltron. Tell me, how do I take control of him?

The black lion is standing on the roof of the pyramid.

CAMARGO (CONT’D)You, in the lion, show yourself. Which one are you? The one that punched me in my office? I hope so, we have another round to go.

The black lion roars.

The black lion leaps off of the pyramid's roof. It lands on the landing right before the pyramid's doors.

Camargo goes flying through the air. He crashing down on the van's windshield.

The Plexiglas of the windshield caves in wedging Camargo inside.

PIDGEThey can never take your family legacy from you.

SVENThis is your home. This is where you belong, here with your people. Here with your family.

Allura smiles. She blinks away the tears forming in her eyes.

ALLURAYou five are my family now.

Allura looks around the room. Keith, Pidge, Hunk, Lance and Sven stare back at her.

KEITHAre you sure Allura?

ALLURAYes Keith, I'm sure.

KEITHWell, are we ready gang?

Lance, Sven, Hunk and Pidge nod their heads.

All five lions lay in wait in the yard.

Across the window is a ‘Foreclosure’ sign.

KEITHAre you going to lock up?

Allura follows Keith into the black lion.

Keith sits down in the seat. Allura sits down on the floor behind him.

KEITHTry to get comfortable. This could be a long trip.
