Chapter One

Coran's voice could be heard over their comms. "There's one of Prince Lotor's robeasts outside the castle! All Voltron Force members report to Castle Control at once!"

Allura had just finished dressing into her flight suit when her comm went off. She sighed.

..back to work again..

She put up her hair in a loose chingon and ran out the door. The rest of the team was ahead of her.

She yelled at Keith, "Wait up!"

He slowed down for her and she said, "We gotta stop meeting like this!"

Keith said, "Well, if Lotor and Zarkon.." He didn't finish the sentence.

They all had reached the control room of the Castle of Lions.Keith was the first to speak, "Okay..Coran, what's Lotor up to this time?"

Coran said, "Lotor has launched a robeast and has massed his entire fleet in front of the Castle...he has demanded our unconditional surrender.."

Keith exclaimed, "Is he crazy? He knows we're just going to launch Voltron."

Lance quipped, "Guess he likes to get his butt whupped!"

Hunk came forward and shook his fist at the screen, "Well bring him on! Let's kick him all the way back to Doom!"

Coran said, "I would watch it though, this may be a trap!"

Allura replied, "Since when isn't it a trap?"

Coran turned to her and said, "And you, young lady, better watch yourself.You know how Lotor is always after you."

Allura said, "Don't worry Coran, he won't come near me..after all we'll be in Voltron!"

Keith said, "Speaking of...let's quit gabbing and form Voltron!" Pidge jumped up and yelled, "Yeah!! Let's go Voltron!"

As they always did, the five Voltron Force members ran to their respective chutes and grabbed the bars that would transport them to the lions. Enroute through the chutes, the replicators came online, and outfitted them in the Voltron Force uniforms they wore.Then all the Force members were in their lions, and Keith gave the command for all of them to check in via the video comm.

"Lance, you in?"

"Yep, Keith, far as I know.."

"Cute, Lance, Cute..Hunk, Pidge? Check in.."

"Hunk here, ready to go!"

"I'm here too, Keith!" Pidge answered.

Suddenly a female scream of horror came through the comm! It was Allura! Keith yelled, "Princess! Are you all right? Check in!"

"Ah..oh god.."

"Princess, answer me and patch in your video.."

"Uh, Keith.."

"Allura, that's an order.."

"Uh..ok, Keith.."

Keith's video screen changed to the interior of Allura's ship-but there was no Allura!

"Allura, where are you?" Keith asked, quite perplexed.

Then he saw a small hand wave and her head popped out from behind her chair.

"Here, Keith.."

Keith said, "We don' t have time for games Allura! What are you doing?"

"Uh, Keith..could you put this on your private channel?"

"Private channel?"

"Please! I don't want the other guys to hear!"

Keith activated his private channel and said, "Okay, Allura..it's private now.Explain."

Allura said, "I -uh-I don't have anything on!"

Keith said, "What? What do you mean you don't have anything on?"

"I mean my uniform! The replicator must have malfunctioned in my chute! It took my clothes and left me naked! Well--almost naked, anyway! What am I going to do?"

Keith thought, ..I don't believe this!..

"Uh, what do you have on?"

"Keith!"

"Well?"

"I-I have a bra and panties on.."

Keith could just picture her blushing. He tried not to picture how she looked right now. It was a definite distraction and they didn't need that now! He tried to be the stoic commander.

"Allura, I know you're uncomfortable, but we need to fight that robeast outside. I won't let the other guys know. You can keep your video channel closed, but you'll still recieve us. " Keith thought,..hopefully no one else will patch through her channel..I don't think I'll tell her that.. He continued, "But you're here to do a job, and with clothes or not, you're still a member of the team. Remember, no one can see you in your lion, ok?"

Allura said shakily, "Ok, Keith..I'm ready..let's go.

Keith smiled and said, "Good..I'm letting the guys in now."

He activated all the channels and immediately three male voices clamored, "What the heck's going on, Keith? Is the princess.?"

Keith said, "Everything's ok, guys, just a technical problem. Let's go and kick some robeast butt!"

Allura thought..a technical problem?

She looked down at her scantily clad self and shivered. She never realized how chilly it was in this lion before! Well, they would form Voltron and end this fight and they could get back to the Castle..how the heck was she going to explain this to Nanny?oh well!

The lions flew out of their resting places high into the air of Arus and went to face another robeast menance.

The prince smiled and said, "Good. They are falling for my trap! Let them try to form Voltron-my robeast will be waiting for them! Remain on alert!"

The prince smirked and continued to watch the screen. Soon, the princess would be his and the Voltron Force would be no more..

"Man, that robeast is ugly! Lotor sure can pick em!" Lance quipped as he buzzed by the robeast. Red Lion hit the robeast with a burst of flame. The robeast kept grabbing for them, unaffected. The lions gave it all they got, but the robeast kept fighting back, shooting various weapons at the five robot lions.

Keith yelled, "Princess! watch it!" The robeast swiped at her with it's long tail. It caught Blue Lion and sent it flying. Allura screamed, hitting her head hard on her padded headrest.

She thought ..I never realized that headrest was so hard without a helmet! Oh the sooner we get this over with..

Lance interrupted her thoughts, "Princess, you ok?"

"Yes, I'm fine..making corrections now.."

Keith said, "Team , we're not getting anywhere here.Let's form Voltron!"

Allura, Lance, Hunk and Pidge simultanously yelled, "Yeah!! Let's go Voltron!"

And so, the Voltron Force went into formation to form Voltron.
