Allura, laughing: I wish I was there! I can remember you singing to me as a child.

Coran, twiddling his moustache proudly: Ah, but you wouldn't have seen all those amazing water features.

(A tiny blue and purple alien hobbles up behind them. He jumps up and down angrily to get noticed, but no-one turns around. So he leaps up and pulls on Karma's hair.)

Karma, yelling in pain: Owww! What was that for?!

Alien: Wanted to get your attention!

Scarlett: Hey, you could have been nicer.

Kibra: What is it?

Alien: No...Humans scary.

(He goes to shuffle away, but Karma grabs his jacket by the neck and pulls him back.)

Karma: I'm not letting you pull on my hair, then just walk away. What is it?

Alien: You need to work on your singing. It sounded like two metals clanging together or Weblum mating.

Karma, sarcastically: I'm sorry you didn't like it. Why were you listening to my singing all the way through if it was that bad?!

Alien: Don't know. It was horrendous. Earth language brittle.

Scarlett: Then how come you speak it?!

Alien: How come you keep her around if she can't do something simple as sing? No way she can fight-

Kibra, stepping in: Alright. That's enough. You should leave now.

Alien: Definitely can't fight. Has bodyguard too.

Kibra: It's called a friend. Not a bodyguard. Maybe you should get some.

Alien: Oh. Oh. Ok. Fine. All you humans sound like this? Bad race. Very bad-

(Kibra starts to growl and loses it. She picks the alien up with ease and chucks him across the mall. His high scream echoes through the mall.)

Karma: Woah...Thanks.

Allura: We going to have to leave before anyone sees.

Coran: Slav! Start the castle!

Slav, through comms: Yes, sir.

Back in the Ship

Shiro, patting Kibra on the shoulder: I'm so proud of you. That sort of attitude will help you lead Voltron.

Kibra, smiling: What, throwing aliens across malls?

Shiro, laughing: Well sometimes-but I meant sticking up for your friends, no matter what the circumstances. There was something I wanted to tell you before you went on your first mission, but I'll tell you now. Patience yields focus.

(Keith smiles at him, remembering this phrase well. Adam puts his arm around Shiro, and they smile at each other. Before they descend fully into space, a weight sinks in Allura's chest and she frantically looks around. Her daughter has gone.)

Matt: What are you looking for, Princess?

Allura: Coran, have you seen Shinka? I'm sure she was here!

Coran, worriedly: ...No.

Matt: Shinka's gone?!

Clover: Wait-Shinka's gone?!

Matt: Is there an echo in here? Echo in here?

Pidge: Don't say that. It brings back bad memories.

(Matt chuckles a bit.)

Lance, looking at Keith: Yeah, you took that 'I think you're the future' thing quite literally, didn't you?

Keith: Was I meant to?

Lance: Um, yeah...

Keith: You were the one who-

Allura, standing and almost rocking the ship: -MY DAUGHTER IS MISSING!

Shiro: Alright, princess...We'll find her.

Allura: Thank you, Shiro.

Keith: We must have accidently left her behind.

Coran, after a pause: If Shinka wanted to come with us, she would have followed us.

Allura: Are you trying to say...She stayed behind on purpose?

(Coran nods. Allura looks down sadly knowing it's probably true.)

Coran: Slav! Turn the ship back to the space mall.

Kibra: But why would she stay behind?

Allura, glancing up again realising: ...Lotor. She's gone to find her father.

(They look at each other in dismay.)

Lance: But I thought he died.

Allura: Shinka wants evidence. She's tugging on hope he's still alive somewhere.

Matt: Well, we have to go back for her!

Slav: We are!

Kibra: No. It's too dangerous if we all go. If she sees all of us, she'll run. I'll go.

Allura: Why can't-

Kibra: -Princess. Fathers. You have to trust me. I'll find her.

(Her dads look at each other and nod in agreement.)

Adam: ...Come straight back.

Kibra: Of course I will.

Clover: She doesn't mind me either. I'll come with you. Not for protection, but for extra searchers.

(Kibra nods, and they step out onto the landing bay of the mall.)

Hunk: Stay safe you two!

At the Space Mall Entrance

Clover: We should split up and cover more ground.

Kibra: Good idea. If you find her, tell me on the communication watch. (She points to her wrist) Meet me back here in three hours. If we still haven't found her, we'll find another way.

(Clover nods in reply, and they step in opposite directions.)

Clover: Shinka! (He heads to the arcade) Shinka? Are you in here?!

Kibra, walking down a dark hallway: Shinka? Shinka, please come back- Shinka?!...Patience yields focus...Patience yields focus...

(Suddenly-A spiny purple hand clamps over her mouth and the other holds her arms behind her back. Kibra wriggles around, trying to break free, but fails. Then her eyes light up and she manages to reach down and active the speaker on her watch-making as much noise as she can.)

Galra: This is the one.

Galra 2: Perfect. Bring her to the headquarters with the other girl.

(Clover hears the whole thing and stops-gasping.)

Clover, alerting the others into comms: Kibra! Allura, Kibra's been captured! I think they've got Shinka, too!

Shiro and Adam, panicked: What?!

Allura, through comms: We're coming! 

(She jumps up, never stopping and throws the blue cape off, revealing her paladin suit. Running out of the castle, she sees a galra ship fly past them overhead. Clover runs back into the ship and Allura follows.)

Allura: Follow that galra ship! I'm going to get my daughter back.
