Ronins: Defenders of the Universe
 

On a beautiful day Cye and Kento were sparring outside while Sage was meditating near the woods and Rowen was reading a book in the shade of the house. Mia and Ryo were up in the den trying to sort out all the disks Mia's grandfather had left. And Mia was having a hard time with her computer.
    "Stupid thing!!" She yelled hitting the side of the monitor.
    "Mia, I don't think hitting it into submission is going to work." Ryo commented.
    "I know," Mia sighed, "I just need a new one, but with you guys staying here I don't have the extra cash."
    "Mia, If you need money, why didn't you tell us. We would of helped." Ryo replied.
    "I'm not that bad off, but I have to wait on a few things like a new computer."
    "Well, I don't know much about computers but maybe if you didn't hit it all the time." Ryo suggested.
    "What's going on up here." Cye asked as the others entered the room.
    "It's this stupid computer. Rowen, could you?" Mia asked standing up. Rowen sat down to figure out what was wrong.


In another place and dimension a beautiful day was just starting on the planet of Arus. The people were rebuilding the cities and enjoying their life. In the castle of lions the Voltron force were sitting back and relaxing. Enjoying the peace while they can. Suddenly a loud explosion was heard.
    "What was that? Pidge asked.
    "I don't know. Let's go find out." Lance said as he and the others ran in the direction of the blast. They entered one of the main computer rooms to find several people fighting back a fire.
    "What happened?" Keith asked
    "The computer over loaded and blew up." Someone answered.
    "Come on!" Sven yelled as he grabbed a water hose. The others followed. After the fire was put out Koran came over the intercom.
    "Is everything all right?" He asked.
    "Yes, the fire is you. WHat did this computer control?" Keith asked.
    "Let's see... That computer controlled the west wing of the castle." Koran replied.
    "The west wing, but that's where the kitchen is." Hunk exclaimed.
    "Don't worry Hunk. You won't starve." Lance joked.


    "Well, Mia, I figured out what was wrong." Rowen said as he looked up from the computer.
    "Yes?" Mia asked
    "It's worn out." Rowen stated, "IT's old the parts are worn out and are obsolete. You can't find them anywhere."
    "Just great" Mia sighed.
    "I can get the major functions going, but that's it. And I don't know how much longer they'll last." Rowen explained.
    "I'll be grateful for what ever you can do, Rowen." Rowen nodded and turned back to the computer. He started rapidly typing on the keyboard setting things up. Ad he was typing something flashed on the screen.
    "WHat was that?" Cye asked watching.
    "I don't know. Let me see if I can get it to come up again." Rowen said as he started typing again. Suddenly a bright white light emitted from the computer, and everybody covered their eyes. The mysterious symbol appeared again.


In the control room Koran worked trying t get things straightened out.
    "How bad is the damage?" The princess asked into the microphone.
    "It looks pretty bad, Princess" Keith replied through the speakers, "It looks like the ....." The transmission went to static.
    "Koran, what's wrong?" Alura asked.
    "I don't know. It mush be something on their end." A loud explosion was heard.
    "Koran, bring up the security cameras" Alura commanded. Koran did just that but instead of the view of the computer room they got a picture of five symbols.
    "I do not understand." Koran said.
    "Keep trying. I'm going dow to see for myself." Alura said as she left. She came upon the room. Inside several bodies littered the ground. Picking up the closest hose she sprayed the flaming console. "Keith, Lance?" Alura yelled. In the corner of the room she heard someone coughing. "Pidge, Hunk, Sven?" Slowly she made her way over to the figure. Several people had arrived to help the injured and fan out the room. She finally came upon a figure in red. "Keith, are you all right." She asked as she kneeled down nest to him. The figured looked up at her with his blue eyes meeting hers. "What?! YOur not Keith." Alura explained. standing back.
    "Who are you? The boy asked standing up weakly.
    "Ryo, you there?" Someone else asked. Nearby was a blond headed boy. Alura noticed as three more strangers appeared. One with blue hair, a brown headed one and a chunky one with blue gray hair.
    "Who are you?" She asked again. Ryo tried to see who was asking the question but the smoke had gotten to him and he collapsed. The others were also having trouble and passed out. Alura ran over to Ryo to see if he was still alive. It was confirmed when she heard him cough. "Medics! Get these five some help now!" She commanded. The five strangers were taken straight to the doctors. Princess Alura looked upon the five figures that were lying in the beds. 'Who are you?' she asked herself. They had searched their bodes and had found some id's, which seemed to be false, but the weirdest thing they found were small crystal spheres. They all had one. Alura had them tested and found that that was all they were crystal. Their belongings were placed next to their beds so Alura could keep an eye on them both.
    "Alura, you need to get some sleep. Why do you insist to stay by them all the time?" Nanny asked as she entered the room.
    "They puzzle me." Alura replied
    "They puzzle you? What do you mean?" Nanny asked
    "When  I found them they didn't seem to know where they were. I've never seen them before, but mainly those crystals... why do they have them?" Alura explained.
    "Yes there are many questions, but right now I think you need some sleep. Maybe you'll find some answers in you dreams." Nanny responded.
    "Yes, maybe your right." Alura agreed stretching, and then to the doctor, "Contact me immedently if anything happens." She followed Nanny out of the room. Before they were even half way down the hall one of the nurses came running out of the room.
    "Princess, come and see. Those crystal orbs.... Something is happening." The princess immedantly turned around and ran back into the room. Next to each of the beds the crystal orbs were glowing brightly. Each a different color. Alura walked closer to the red one and looked at it. Inside was a virtue, the virtue of pure virtue.  Suddenly the orbs glowed brighter and then the light died down, but what was left was not the orbs but the keys to the five lions.


Mia blinked her eyes trying to get rid of the spots she saw from the light.
    "Is everyone all right?" Mia asked looking around. When she looked she did not like what she saw. Beside her was a black haired brown eyed boy in a red jumpsuit. Behind the computer she saw a brown haired by, behind him was another black hared guy. then next to him was a rather large black hared guy dressed in orange, and leaning against the wall was a small boy wearing a green head band. Mia slowly moved away from them. "W.. who are you?" She asked.
    "Who are we?" Who are you?" the brown headed one asked as he stood up.
    "Sit down Lance. It appears we are the strangers here." Keith said, "Miss, I'm Keith. This is Lance, Sven, Hunk, and Pidge." Keith said pointing to each one.
    "We are the members of the Voltron force." Sven said in a very bad accent.
    "The Voltron Force?" Mia questioned
    "Yea, we fight against an evil planet called Planet Doom." Pidge answered
    "How do you fight against a whole planet?" Mia asked.
    "The lions." Hunk answered, "There are five mechanical lions, then when we combine them we create Voltron."
    "Yes we have the keys, so all we need to do is find them..." Sven started.
    "But you must either be from the future or another demotion. There are no such Lions on the Earth." Mia stated.
    "The Earth. no, But on Planet Aruis there are." Lance said
    "But, we aren't on Planet Aruis." Keith responded.
    "Then the keys are worthless." Pidge sighed holding out his key. The others did the same.
    "What if planet Doom attacks while we're here?" Hunk asked.
    "Then the planet is doomed. With out the keys nobody will be able to pilot the lions." Keith answered holding out his own key. The other did the same looking at them sadly. They laid them down on the desk.
    "Well, while you are here, why don't you have something to eat." Mia suggested.
    "Food! Sure!" Hunk exclaimed.
    "I hope you have enough food for Hunk." Pidge commented.
    "Oh, I'm sure I do." Mia said as she started from the room. Suddenly the room was filled with a bright light. Everybody turned around to find that the five keys had been replaced by five crystal orbs. "The armor orbs!" Mia exclaimed.
    "What are you talking about?" Lance asked.
    "I believe that you and my friends have somehow switched places, and now in case the evils from either of our worlds attack you can defend this one for them and They will pilot the lions for you." Mia exclaimed.
    "Do you think they'll be able to pilot them?" Sven asked.
    "I don't know, and will we be able to use their weapons?" Keith asked.
    "Do you know how to use swords, spears, and arrows?" Mia asked and everybody shook their heads. "This is going to be one interesting adventure."
