Voltron: The Third Dimension [1998] S1 E17 | Queen Ariella
Voltron: The Third Dimension is an American animated television series produced by World Events Productions. It is a sequel to the 1980s animated series Voltron: Defender of the Universe and is set five years after the end of the series.[2] Neil Ross, Michael Bell, and B.J. Ward reprised their roles as Keith, Lance, and Princess Allura for the series. The show was animated by Netter Digital Entertainment, inc. and Mike Young Productions.[3] It departed from the original Voltron's animated look, as well as some character changes, such as the physical appearance of Prince Lotor (now voiced by Tim Curry, taking over the role originally voiced by Lennie Weinrib).
The story takes place in the Denubian Galaxy. Shannon Muir mapped the galaxy in the 1980s as a fan and posted it online. In 1996, World Events Productions became aware of the work and made it the official starmap for the show.[2]
With antagonist Prince Lotor's escape from prison, the heroic Voltron Force re-assemble against him, but must contend simultaneously with the various monsters and warships sent by Lotor (at times, captained by him) and with opposition on their own side, represented by the artificial intelligence "Amalgamus", a sophisticated computer who objects periodically to the Voltron Force's methods.

00:00The safety of the galaxy has been threatened again.
00:10Five space explorers and their five awesome lions are called upon to form Voltron.
00:16Keith, the leader, pilot of Black Lion, Allura, Princess of Aris, pilot of Blue Lion, Hunk,
00:26the Strongman, pilot of Yellow Lion, Pidge, the Computer Expert, pilot of Green Lion,
00:35and Lance, the rebellious daredevil pilot of Red Lion.
00:41These lions must once again battle Prince Lotor, Witch Hagar, and their forces of doom,
00:47who want nothing more than to destroy all that is good.
00:51The Galaxy Alliance, under the leadership of Amalgamus and the reformed King Zarkon,
00:57have called these great pilots and their robot lions together again to form Voltron, the
01:03Third Dimension.
01:06The Troika moons have been saved, but at what cost?
01:13This is Weep Weep Cherimoya here at Galaxy Garrison reporting live on Lotor's pending
01:19attack.
01:20The crisis began when Lotor's doom fleet surrounded the densely populated Troika moons, threatening
01:26to annihilate all the inhabitants unless the Alliance destroyed the robot lions and Voltron.
01:32If you don't accept my offer, I'll destroy them utterly.
01:37Princess Allura, there's big spaceships in the sky.
01:41They're going to blow us up.
01:42Please don't let them.
01:43Don't let them hurt us.
01:44Don't let them hurt us.
01:45Please, Princess.
01:46I don't want to die.
01:49With billions of lives at stake and no options, Princess Allura faced the most difficult decision
01:53of her life.
01:54I've always turned to my father for help.
01:58Now these children are turning to me for help.
02:01I can't let them down.
02:03I'm turning over the Voltron lions.
02:05But Lance, the hot-headed pilot of Red Lion, refused to go along with the plan.
02:10Oh, is that how it is?
02:12Oh, okay, fine.
02:14Then I quit.
02:15I don't want anything to do with you anymore, any of you.
02:19You have betrayed the lions.
02:22And when the lions were turned over for destruction, Lance staged a daring solo attack to save them.
02:33He was apprehended and charged with high treason and is currently awaiting trial.
02:38The people of the Troika moons were saved and they are now safe, but in exchange the
02:43robot lions were destroyed in a graphic display of public dismemberment.
02:48However, once the robot lions were demolished, Voltor failed to turn over his ships as promised.
03:17I have total control of the Fleet of Doom, which I am sending to Red Giant Prime, where
03:23it will burn itself up in exactly 42 minutes and 23 nanoclicks.
03:28What?
03:29The Fleet of Doom is changing direction.
03:32Lotor!
03:33Where is Lotor?
03:35Igor, my friend, set a new course.
03:39Destination, Galaxy Garrison.
03:43Lotor now poised to attack Galaxy Garrison and without Voltron to defend it, the situation
03:49looks increasingly grim for the Garrison and the entire alliance.
03:53Stay tuned for continuing crisis coverage.
03:56This is Galaxy Garrison to Doom Fleet One.
03:59Respond.
04:00Respond, Doom Fleet.
04:03Nothing.
04:05We had an agreement.
04:06Galaxy Garrison was to destroy the robot lions and Lotor was to hand over his fleet for destruction.
04:13And now I cannot even reach them.
04:15Lotor died.
04:16And if he attacks us now, we won't have Voltron to defend us.
04:20Oh, Sarkon, my anger rating is at 11.9.
04:24Do you know how angry that is?
04:26I could have a major meltdown.
04:28It is only a glitch in the system.
04:42We have a huge armada protecting us.
04:45And anyway, it would take the fleet of Doom weeks to get here from the Cerulean Quadrant.
04:51You are right, Sarkon.
04:53Thank goodness you are here.
04:55You are the only one I can trust.
05:03Prince Lotor to Fleet of Doom.
05:12New plan, Igor.
05:14Execute a vector jump to Galaxy Garrison at once.
05:19Yes, my prince.
05:21A thousand-shift vector jump?
05:23That's impossible!
05:25Impossible is what I do best.
05:28Aren't we going to join them for the plunder party?
05:32Of course, after I make a little stop.
05:36You see, there's this girl I want to look up.
05:39On planet Eros.
05:48All Doom ships, lock onto my coordinates and prepare Delta Vector.
05:53We will be at Galaxy Garrison in one hour.
05:57Activate.
06:08Activate.
06:13And this is Weep Weep Cherimoya for Galactic Action News.
06:17I'm here at Bastille 12, the very prison that once held the infamous Prince Lotor.
06:23And now it holds a new prisoner.
06:25Lance, former member of the Voltron force,
06:28whose failed attempt to commandeer Red Lion ended with the destruction of Voltron.
06:34This is Weep Weep Cherimoya for Galactic Action News.
06:39Ah!
06:48Ah!
06:52Step back now, or you will be terminated.
07:02You clowns are going to be sorry!
07:05I'm a member of the Voltron force!
07:08Ex-member. There is no more Voltron force.
07:12Oh, well, you're going to get technical on me.
07:15Fine, I'll just make myself comfortable then.
07:19Um, what's for dinner anyway?
07:29I feel so lost, Goran.
07:31My father's spirit is silent. The lions are gone.
07:35Lance quit the team and now he's in prison for trying to save Red Lion.
07:39And the Voltron force has been disbanded.
07:42Yes, princess, these are indeed dark times.
07:47But sometimes the deepest uncertainties lead to the greatest discoveries.
07:55The castle is under attack!
08:02A few warning blasts should be enough to make my point.
08:13No robot lions. No Voltron.
08:17At last, Allura is mine!
08:23Lotor, what are you doing?
08:25Don't go ballistic, old man.
08:28Don't go ballistic, old man.
08:31I'm just making a quick stop.
08:33This is my hour of glory.
08:36When the Alliance grovels at my feet, I want Allura at my side.
08:43Great. Igor is on his way here, ready for battle, and you're out chasing after girls.
08:49Zarkon and Lotor. How did I know?
08:52The plan is all set, Lotor.
08:54First we get rid of the Voltron force.
08:57I already told Bastille 12 to eliminate Lance.
09:00Then Igor will destroy the Alliance armada while it's still on the ground.
09:05I'll let his fleet in by shutting down the Garrison security net from the inside.
09:10Oh no, you won't.
09:13Call off the attack, Zarkon, on Galaxy Garrison and Planet Eris.
09:18Whatever you say, son.
09:21I'm not your son.
09:23You get on that comm line and tell Bastille 12 to let Lance go. Now!
09:28Of course, of course. Easy.
09:31After all, I really have no choice.
09:34No choice but to annihilate you.
09:42You really think you can stop me?
09:44The security breach is pre-programmed.
09:46Igor will start his attack any moment.
09:50No one has ever beaten me in combat.
09:57There's a first time for everything, Zarkon.
09:59At the last.
10:05Get rid of him. But do it quietly.
10:13Aren't you out of your league?
10:15Since when do they issue blasters to Code C cyborgs?
10:20I help the Alliance program you bucketheads so I can deprogram you just as easy.
10:31Game over.
10:33Sorry, kids. Gotta run.
10:40Great. The Arborians have been destroyed.
10:45Great. He already sent orders to eliminate Lance.
10:50We gotta get to Bastille 12 fast.
10:53If we could only take the robot lions.
10:56They're gone.
11:06It's the fleet of Doom.
11:15No.
11:22They've started the attack.
11:24There's only one way out of here now.
11:26Zarkon's private set of wings.
11:28Let's do it.
11:45It's gonna be tough to blast out of here in the middle of an attack.
11:49We've gotta try it.
11:51I've hacked into their launch protocols.
11:53Ready for takeoff.
11:57Let's go Voltron Force.
12:14Let's go.
12:30Igor, the Voltron Force is stealing my stealth craft.
12:33Request permission to handle this one personally.
12:36Permission granted.
12:39Doom ships, follow my lead.
12:42Hitch, I'm picking something up.
12:48It's a Doom ship, coming at us from behind.
12:51Whoa, it's their flagship.
12:55We gotta try to outrun it.
12:59Whoa!
13:11The lasers are locked on us.
13:19We're hit.
13:23We've got to pull out of this.
13:25I'm trying, but we're falling too fast.
13:33I did it. I destroyed the Voltron Force.
13:38The reports of our demise have been somewhat exaggerated.
13:43Loop around and tail him.
13:45Our lasers are only code C.
13:47He's got ten times more firepower than we have.
13:49There's always a way, Hunk.
13:51Now let's see how you like playing chicken.
13:55Yeah!
14:16Yeah, that's the way to do it.
14:18That works.
14:20I wish we could take down a few more of these Doom boys,
14:23Castile 12 and Prado.
14:40King Sarkhan, the Voltron Force has escaped.
14:44Relax, Igor. They're nothing now.
14:47We've already destroyed half of the Alliance armada.
14:50Their ships can't even get off the ground.
14:53With Voltron gone, Galaxy Garrison is ours.
15:03This archive chamber has been here for a thousand years.
15:07Yet Lotor can destroy it all in the blink of an eye.
15:11It seems so wrong.
15:14It is wrong, Princess.
15:16No one knows why evil exists.
15:19We only know that it is always with us.
15:25This is Ariella's chamber.
15:27Ariella was the first Queen of Arras.
15:30It was under her rule that the Castle of Lions was built.
15:34Yes, and under my rule it's about to be destroyed.
15:39Ariella!
15:47Alora.
15:51I am Queen Ariella.
15:54Now, at last, it is time for you to learn the deepest mysteries of planet Arras.
16:09THE DEEPEST MYSTERIES OF PLANET ARRAS
16:20Oh, so you finally got orders to cut me loose, huh?
16:24Told you I have friends in high places.
16:29Uh, would you believe friends in low places?
16:33All right, uh, it was a bad joke.
16:36But you don't vaporize a guy for that.
16:39Say, did I tell you guys the one about the droid who had his modem upside down?
16:44Hey, look, I'm not crazy about you two either.
16:47But you don't see me trying to blast you to...
16:57I told you I have friends in high places.
17:01Whatever you do, you will never defeat the Voltron Force.
17:09It is nice to have friends.
17:11Keep that in mind the next time you decide to quit the Voltron Force.
17:17Now, let's jet out of here.
17:19Wait, wait, wait, wait, this will take just a second.
17:22There they are.
17:25There they are.
17:26Sayonara, amigos.
17:31Sweet. Now we can eat.
17:34All right, guys, next stop, Planet Arras.
17:41Planet Arras is a place of deep mystery, Allura.
17:45It is time at last for you to learn our secrets.
17:49You see, I came here a thousand years ago from the farthest reaches of the universe.
18:00The Imperial spacecraft was journeying across the stars.
18:10But it was forced down over Arras.
18:21There was only one survivor, a baby girl.
18:26That was me, Ariella.
18:30Of course, I could never have survived alone.
18:33A great beast appeared in the forest.
18:39It was a lion, green lion, the Lion of Life.
18:46Next came Yellow Lion, the Lion of the Earth.
18:51Then Red Lion, the Lion of Fire.
18:55Blue Lion, the Lion of Water.
18:57And finally, the magnificent Black Lion, the Lion of Air and Space.
19:03As I grew up, I learned the way of the lion, which is the way of the heart.
19:10I learned to fly. I became the protector of the people of Arras.
19:15With their help, I built this castle and dedicated it to those five lions.
19:22They pledged that they would always protect the castle and the royal line of Arras.
19:28The lions have always been with you, Allura, since you were a child.
19:33Whenever you spoke with your heart, they heard you.
19:51We are real!
20:11We are real!
20:13I always felt it in my heart, but I was afraid to say it out loud.
20:17You're really real!
20:21Storm report. The Alliance armada is crushed.
20:24Most of the ships never got off the ground.
20:27All pockets of resistance have been eliminated.
20:31They have totally defeated us, King Zarkon.
20:35We are finished. If only we had Voltron to defend us.
20:40I made a terrible mistake.
20:52This is it!
20:54We have been through a lot together, King Zarkon.
20:57But now we have no choice. We must surrender.
21:01What do you mean, we have outdone us?
21:07My king, we have carried out your orders.
21:11The fleet of Doom is at your command.
21:14Zarkon! You... you have been with them all along!
21:19You are a traitor!
21:22For a super-brain, you're a bit slow to catch on, Amalgamus.
21:27Artificial intelligence certainly has its limitations.
21:31You should have listened to the Voltron force.
21:34Igor, reprogram Amalgamus.
21:37I think he'd make a very entertaining video game.
21:41You know, I spent years trying to conquer Galaxy Garrison from the outside.
21:46And it was so easy from the inside.
21:54This is King Zarkon, broadcasting to all 900 Alliance planets.
22:01I'm sorry to report that Amalgamus has suffered an unfortunate accident.
22:06So I have agreed to help out by running Galaxy Garrison.
22:11From this point forward, I am your new leader.
22:17They say that it is darkest before the dawn.
22:21But sometimes it seems the dawn will never come.
22:27Will he ever return?
22:29Or will the world have nothing left but the memory of Voltron?
22:41To be continued...
23:11To be continued...
