The universe can be such a crazy place. You never realize how small you are until you've seen the big picture. If someone had told you that there were millions of other planets just like yours, you would never believe it. Right? 

It all started on one of Pluto's five natural satellites, Kerberos... 

A total of three astronauts were standing around a mechanical drill that could pierce the strongest metal. Two of them were holding the drill steady as the moon had no gravity to keep it down, and the other much older one was working on another machine in which held data and information of their current mission. They've only just landed a mere hour ago when the trip has taken months just to get there.  

"Wow, can't you believe this, Cole. We've actually made it." An old fellow was telling his comrade, pressing more buttons on the screen of the machine with his gloved hands. 

Keeping his feet steady on the non gravitational surface, the pilot tightened his grip on the drill as it took some parts of the ground. "Hey I told you I would get you two here safely." 

"We still arrived late, thanks to the asteroid belt on our travels, we delayed our trip for another month." A voice came from the other side of the drill, giving a cheeky grin to the pilot. 

"Echo, we all knew that it takes almost 33 days to get across the asteroid belt. Besides, thanks to Cole's piloting we burned off another two days. If it was any other pilot then we probably gotten hit by a asteroid hurling our way." The scientist chuckled, giving chills to his son from the dark sense of humor. 

Cole rolled his eyes at the father & son moment, "Thanks for telling me I was your only hope, Dr. Julien." He said sarcastically. 

"Oh you and I both know you are the best of the best, Brookstone." Dr. Julien complimented before turning over to his son, who was started to wobble in his stance on the drill, "Echo, be careful now. We wouldn't want any movement to disturb the process of extracting Kerberos's surface." 

"Don't worry, father, I got it." Echo reassured the frantic scientist. 

What the trio didn't realize when they continued to drill the ground of Kerberos was the unrealistic space shuttle heading their direction. Its unique shape was as much admirable as it was headstrong, the interiors of purple markings and structures you can't even comprehend. Suddenly a cannon started to unfold from the top of the ship, and a purple beam was released onto the surface of Pluto's moon. 

The ground started to shake, immediately getting Cole's attention. He turns around to see where it was coming from to realize the ground was starting to crack, and to see the space ship heading there way as the purple beam destroys everything on the ground it touches. 

"Run! Run now! Get to the ship!" Cole yelled at his comrades and got a head start, with the Julien's following behind him, leaving what remains of their research in the path of destruction that was headed its way. 

Unfortunately, they could not outrun the beam, and was sucked up in the beam into the unknown. 

One Year Later...

Back on Earth, in the country of Ninjago, at the Borgs Commission were three cadets in an auto simulator which is realistically a learning course on how you would fly an aircraft. 

Crackling his knuckles, the teen with electric blue eyes and freckles stares at his control panel with determination. His fellow cadets were at their ready positions at their own panels. 

"Zane, am I giving permission to lift of?" The fighter pilot asked his cargo cadet #1. 

The blonde teen look back at him with a simple nod, "We are ready for lift off, Jay."

"Dareth, how about you?" Jay asked his other cargo cadet only to get a near puking sound coming from him. This was going to get disgusting real quick. 

"Alright," Jay took in a deep breath and placed his hands on the controls, "Preparing for lift off!" 

Right as soon as he said that, the simulator started with them flying on a planet unlike earth make believe or not, it was unlike Earth's features. Keeping his eyes on the road in front of him, he got several check in from his cargo buddies. 

"Jay, you need to slow down or else we'll crash." Zane informed the fight pilot. 

The freckled boy side eyed him for the reminder, "Well I can't slow down until the rosters are cooled down, if we stop too soon then they'll break down. Zane, can you start cooling them off?" Jay asked, swirling around yet again another rock making Dareth more queasy. 

"Affirmative." The cadet said, standing up from his seat to touch one of the buttons from the top control panel above him. However, a sharp turn by the fighter pilot made Zane lose his balance and fall over off his chair making a big thud once he hit the floor. 

"Zane! Put on your seatbelt and get back in your seat!" 

"I didn't press the button yet-"

"Uh guys I think I'm gonna-" 

"Jay! Watch out!" 

Jay looked back at the road only to realize it was too late as they crashed into the side of the mountain. The screen turned black, and red letters appear which said 'Mission Failed'. Jay and Zane slumped back into their chairs, already predicting the lecture the commissioner was going to give them. 

At this point Dareth could no longer hold what was in his stomach and completely emptied it out in on the cabinets. The other teens let out a groan at the sound of vomit coming from their teammate. 

Suddenly the main doors to the simulator opened up, with their own Commissioner front and center with furrowed brows and somewhat of a frown on his face, "Get out." 

The three cadets nodded and walked behind their teacher with their heads down in embarrassment. Once they exited out of the auto simulator, they were confronted with the rest of their class who most were holding in their laughter at the cadets. 

The Commissioner stopped them in front of the doors of the simulator and began with the rant that all three cadets knew was coming sooner or later, "You have got to be the worst group of cadets I've ever seen." 

Well that's encouraging, Jay thought as he continued with the lecture, picking on each cadet his stood in front of. 

"You, Dareth. Couldn't even work with your team. Instead of words you puked instead. How is a cargo pilot that pukes more than speak is going to work out in the real world, huh?" 

The Commissioner then came in front of Zane, who was be far the only cadet that looks at the Commissioner in the eye, "You can't even remember simple safety procedures! Whenever you're ever on a space craft and forget a simple seatbelt you're dead! Just like those poor souls on the Kerberos mission." 

"They aren't dead." Zane mumbled under his breath, luckily the Commissioner not noticing his remark. 

And finally his came in front of Jay, supposedly the leader of the three, "Walker, you're here only by a miracle. If that dropout was here, you wouldn't even have the fighter pilot position, don't make me regret my decision of bumping you up, do you hear?" 

"Yes sir, Commissioner." 

The Commissioner then looked to everyone else in their class, "Now if any of you make the same mistakes as these 'landlovers' then you can just take yourselves home, do you understand cadets?" 

"Yes sir!" 

"Alright, now get out of here, it's almost curfew." 

Jay and Zane walked with each other out, instead of heading to their rooms they went up to the roof of the Commission. On the roof was all they needed for their project, a satellite, a computer, and a coding book. Ever since Jay has known Zane, the main mission for him was to find out the truth about the Kerberos mission failure. Both had their speculations about how it went blizzard out of no where. The Commission was telling the public it was the pilots fault and it crashed, but the circumstances just didn't make sense. Cole Brookstone was the pilot, and he hasn't ever been in a crash in his whole career. 

The think they've found some clues though, they've been doing these for months and only a few weeks ago one of the satellites have caught something. By how fuzzy it was, it was deep into space. It was a repetition of the word 'Voltron', whatever that meant. 

The duo has tried to decipher it, but nothing in Zane's coding book both reversed and normal could figure it out. So today was just like any other day, trying to figure what the heck they were trying to do in the first place. 

Zane put on his headphones and listened to the echoes of Voltron while Jay was constantly typing on the laptop. The freckled boy slumped back down on the wall as the silence was overtaking the rooftop, "Hey Zane, do you think we have a purpose in this world?" 

The tall blonde turned around to look at his dearest friend, taking his headset off to let it hang around his neck, "I believe everyone has a purpose in life, not just the world. We are all made for a reason." 

"But how will we know?" 

"Whenever the time is right I guess, I believe my purpose in life is to make a difference in knowledge and technology. What do you think your purpose in life is?" The older teen asked his companion. 

Jay bit his lip and rubbed the back of his neck, "I don't really know. Maybe to make someone happy and make their day. Heck, if the Commissioner ever saw something in me then maybe become one of the most trusted fighter pilots of the Commission. It seems like a longshot though, your purpose in life makes a lot more sense than mine." He confessed. 

"I'm sure something is going to come along and give you purpose, Jay. Trust me- hold up. Jay. You have got to hear this." Zane announced, very much alarmed by the sudden change.   

The burnette placed his laptop on the ground and carefully walked over to Zane to see what the commotion was. Zane handed his friend his headset and automatically Jay knew what was happening. 

"It's getting louder. What does that mean?" 

The blonde furrowed his brows, "Well if we theorized that the reason the sounds were foggy that the signal was deep in space. So to my calculations if it's becoming louder and more clear then it would be coming closer-"

"Zane! Look at the sky! There's something heading towards us!" 

Both cadets look up at the clear night sky to see an object hurling to the Earth's surface. It didn't look like an asteroid or a meteor, it had a more unique shape like a ship. The mysterious object crashed near the plateau's near the commission base and right then and there all the alarms went off. 

"ATTENTION CADETS. WE ARE GOING INTO LOCKDOWN. I REPEAT WE ARE GOING INTO LOCKDOWN. HEAD TO YOUR ASSIGNED DORM UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE." The overhead speakers announced to the whole commission.

Jay and Zane looked over at each other with an evil smirk appearing on both of their faces, "Lets go." 

The duo ran down to the ground, practically jumping off of everything because of their curiosity. They ran over to the top of a plateau which viewed into the little camp being made near the crash site. Luckily for them, they were hidden by the rocks and bushes, so no one was able to see them from the camp. 

"What do you think they're doing down there?" Jay asked his fellow cadet. 

Zane pulled out some binoculars from his fanny pack *IDC what y'all think about this line, I'm not using a backpack for Zane. It doesn't fit him. Sorry not sorry* and looked through them to get a better look at the campsite. He zoomed in closer to only see people in quarantine suits walking in and out of the tent. There was something inside of the tent that has the older teens very much intrigued. 

"Jay, hand me the laptop, I'm going to hack into the system to get a closer look to what's inside the tent." 

The fighter class cadet handed the blonde the laptop, his curiosity getting the best of him as Zane typed random numbers on the keyboard. Suddenly the random screen of numbers turned into security feeds from the inside of the tent. IN the footage there were scientist in hazmat suits surrounding a table with a person strapped onto it. Their hair was most raven, but had a poof of white at the top of his shaggy hair. What was most noticeable was that his right arm was not made of human flesh, but of metal. 

Jay leaned closer to the laptop to get a better look at the feeds, "Hold up, is that Cole? Like THE Cole Brookstone?"  

The cargo cadet zoomed in to the prisoners face, both of them realizing that it was indeed Cole Brookstone. They audio was starting to act up, meaning someone is talking in the tent, so Zane turns up the audio. 

"PLEASE! You have to listen to me! The Oni is coming, they take over planets and make the citizens their slaves! If they don't comply then they destroy the who planet! The Oni are dangerous you have to listen to me!" The pilot desperately cried as he struggled against his restraints. 

Jay stared at the screen in confusion, "Why aren't they listening to him? He's trying to warn them, and yet they aren't ever bothering to hear him. He's the best pilot in the world, how are they not listening?" 

Zane kept his gaze on the screen, "It's against protocol. He's been marked as a dead man for a year, they probably don't even think it's him. How would you react if a dead man came crashing down on your plant to suddenly be living and breathing?" he asked the inquired teen. 

"Uh, help them?" 

"No wonder it took you so long to get into fighter class."

Zane rolled his eyes as Jay was slightly hurt by his words, knowing very well that he didn't mean it. Then Jay noticed something out of the corner of his eye, a green figure heading to the campsite on a dirt bike. The freckled boy looked down closer to see the exact emerald green eyes he recognized from all those months in cadet school. 

"It's Lloyd!" Jay yelled and headed off running to the campsite, not bothering to get all the equipment that Zane was desperately picking up by hand.

"Who's Lloyd?" Zane called out running after the startled teem while balancing all the equipment in his arms. 

Jay jumped off some rocks and started sliding down the plateau, "What are you doing, dude?" the cadet murmured to himself. 

Lloyd, not noticing the two cadets heading towards him hopped off his bike in front of the tent and ran straight into it. He was met with three scientist with Cole being unconscious on the table. The scientist tried to push the boy away, but only to be met with a punch to the face. The other two scientist headed towards him and Lloyd grabbed the nearest object he could find and head bumped both of them with it, knocking them out.  

The emerald eyed boy dropped whatever he had in his hand and ran over to Cole. He grabbed his knife from his back pocket and cut the straps holding Cole down. He grabbed a hold of Cole's only human arm and wrapped it around his shoulder. "I'm going to get you out of here, alright bud." Lloyd said to him. 

Cole's hazel eyes started to peep through his eyelids, his vision slightly blurry. He looks up to the person holding him and recognizes his savior, "Lloyd?" 

"Hang in there, Cole. I got you." 

Jay and Zane then burst into the tent leaving Lloyd wide eyed. The blue eyed teen went over to Cole and lifted his other arm on his shoulder. "I am not letting you take all the credit for saving Cole Brookstone from imprisonment of the Ninjago Commission." Jay snarked on about giving Lloyd a side eye. 

Lloyd raised a brow, "I'm sorry, who are you again?" 

Jay stared at him in disbelief, "You know, Jay? JayBird? The Jay Walker? We were like top rivals in cadet school. Everyone was like Lloyd vs. Jay, you know we bumped heads all the time." He said with pride. 

The shaggy blonde was still confused, "Doesn't ring a bell." 

Zane cut in, "Uh, I think it would be reasonable to retreat before more commission guards see the security feeds and come to take us all into imprisonment." 

Lloyd started to take a lead, heading towards his dirt bike, "We can escape with my bike, she should be able to drive all of us past the plateaus and into the deserts to frazzle their signal on us." He said, getting the help of Jay to get Cole onto the bike.

"All of us?" 

His emerald eyes went from his bike to the amount of people that were about to become its passengers. Lloyd looked directly at Zane's eyes, "It's going to have to. Hop on." 

Lloyd got in at the front of the bike, with everyone else getting on behind him. With every person added is the heavier the back of the bike gets. Lloyd starts up the engine, and drives off the fastest the bike allows.

The driver of the bike looked at his side mirrors to see the random clusters of commission cars driving their way. This was going to be a predicament with the new amount of weight. 

"Tall guy in the back," Lloyd said referring to Zane, "Lean towards your right."

 Zane followed in pursuit, giving the vehicle the better ability of turning. The commission cars were still hot on their tail, so Lloyd was going to have to take a hasty objective. He was going to have to drive off the cliff. 

"Uh Lloyd, I don't think there's anymore ground up there-" 

"No, it's intentional." 

"Lloyd-" 

And then they hurled off the roof of the plateau.
