Ben 10 & She-Ra Heroes of Power: Rook & Perfuma Princess Prom: By Hero Central: 14/2/2021

Decided to do a valentines day themed post folks and this is is a small extract from my Ben 10 & She-Ra fan fiction story where Perfuma and Rook dance at Princess Prom. 

Rooks prom tux was inspired by Lance Sterling from Spies in Disguise, as I felt it suited Rook very well indeed.

Well folks here’s my latest crossover art piece. A cover image for my next fan fiction, Voltron Frozen Defender I had the idea for this story during season 1 of Voltron Legendary Defender with the final few seasons I have made some alterations to the story. Plus I’m watching the first and second Frozen films it’s given me all sorts of ideas. The timeframe for this first story is within seasons 1-2 of legendary defender and some months after Frozen 1.

Well with August just around the corner for She-Ra season 3 I felt perhaps a fan art piece was in order but then it grew into a crossover piece, I’m still working on a potential fan comic story that ties in with the events of season 2 and what's to come on August 2nd. Until then

For the Honour of Greyskull!

Voltron Frozen Defender

Written by Alexander Montgomery

Well folks heres the first chapter of my crossover fiction between Frozen and Voltron Legendary Defender. I first came up with this story back when seasons 1&2 were released and was inspired reading the fan fictions of others. And so let us begin.

Frozen © Disney

Voltron Legendary Defender © Dreamworks /netflix.

I do not own any of the characters in this story all belong to their respective owners, any fan characters/monsters in this story are created by me so no one is allowed to copy, trace, steal etc without my permission THIS IS JUST FOR FUN!

Chapter 1: Rift between worlds.

Far away in the cold darkness of space, thousands of lightyears away from Planet Earth an asteroid belt of ice covered asteroids, float quietly in the void. From a distance, a large ship appears with large curved spires on each side glowing blue with energy. This was the great Altean flagship The Castle of Lions, and on the bridge of the vessel are the Paladins of Voltron; Shiro, Kieth, Pidge, Lance and Hunk manning their stations along with Princess Allura and her advisor Coran, the lone survivors of the destroyed Planet Altea and the Altean race. The castle bridge holo screen displays shows a small hexagon shape on the Ice cluster indicating the presence of a signal. 

“According to the castles sensors, the distress call came from this area.” Coran relayed to the team. 

“I don’t like this guys” Kieth said with suspicion in his voice “ doesn’t it seem weird that we just happened to get a distress call just as we’re planning to take down Zarkon?”

“Paranoid much Kieth?” Lance cracked.

 The Paladins, who had been brought together by the discovery of an alien mechanical lion on earth, to find the lone survivors of a race wiped out ten thousand years ago and reassemble the mighty Voltron, Legendary Defender of the Universe. Together they battled an evil war like race known as the Galra who have one intention to capture Voltron and conquer the galaxy. The Defenders of the Universe recently found allies in a secret group of Galra known as the Blade of Marmora and have been working on a plan to defeat the Empire and restore peace. So to receive a distress call at this time would be a dangerous coincidence.  

“He does have a point you know” Pidge agreed “ this iceberg grave yard looks like the perfect place for a trap.”  

“ I realise we have concerns about this” Allura began “ but lets not forget as Paladins of Voltron, we are honour bound to help those in need, no matter the circumstances.” she reminded. 

Shiro, the leader of the Paladins looked at the ice clusters and considered everything that was said before coming to a decision. 

“ Alluras right, so lets get to our lions and take a look, but stay alert just in case.” He decided. 

On the bow of the castle ship, the four spires and the centre spire opened and from them emerge five giant mechanical lions in the colours of red, green, blue, yellow and the largest in black bearing large red and white wings. These were the Lions of Voltron, the five that would unite to form Voltron itself. They fly towards the clusters of ice in formation, red and blue on the right, green and yellow on the left with black in the centre. 

“It looks quiet.” Hunk observed from the durable Yellow Lion, “Yeah too quiet for my liking.” Kieth agreed from the temperamental Red Lion. Shiro in Paladin armour looked around the area from the violet lit cockpit of the Alpha Black Lion and even he could tell something wasn’t right. 

“I’ll scan for Bio rhythms.” Said Pidge from the intellectual and daring Green Lion. The screens and instruments on her dashboard begin scanning the area, but then a red screen with a hexagon shaped cross appears indicating theres nothing in the area.

“That’s odd, theres no sign of life here?” Said Pidge in surprise. Lance looked to his instruments showing the presence of the signal in the compassionate and fun Blue Lion “But we’re getting close to the distress signal maybe we’re not close enough yet.”He assumed. 

“Everyone keep a tight formation but be ready, I have a bad feeling about this.” Shiro said with caution.

As the lions flew deeper into the ice clusters the signal gets stronger, but as a chunk of ice flies by it reveals another chunk with what appeared to be a beacon like device piercing the surface. The lions loom over the device and see no sign of a crashed ship bringing concern among the Paladins. 

“What the cheese?” Exclaimed Lance. “ Its a beacon of some kind.” Said Pidge “and that means….”

Suddenly without warning purple energy blasts bombarded the clusters and the lions. The lions grunted as they looked up and saw above them a fleet of small alien fighters  lead by a giant alien warship with a cannon mounted in the centre, the design of the ships lead to the origin of only one alien race.

 “It’s the Galra! Its an ambush!” Shiro Exclaimed. “Scatter!” 

The lions broke formation as the fighters flew in after them. Onboard the Galra warship the bridge is manned by two lieutenants wearing grey armour with glowing purple alien symbols and helmets to cover their eyes. With them are a battalion of robotic Galra sentries. On the command station stands the fleets commander the most obnoxious and shortest of them all Commander Morvak who stands with a sinister grin on his face. 

“The fools fell into our trap” Morvak laughed “ Now capture those lions for the glory of the Galra Empire! Vrepit sa!” 

The Galra fighters fly through the clusters chasing the lions whilst firing on them but hitting the clusters. The lions try to avoid the blast but whilst the Red Lion flies to avoid them the other lions are struggling to navigate the clusters. “Guys we can’t manoeuvre in these clusters!” Lance shouted. “ We have no choice, we’ll have to get out and face them.” Shiro said” Kieth deal with the fighters in the clusters, Hunk, Lance take the left flank, Pidge take down the fighters on the right I’ll attack the warship head on!” He commanded. 

“Yes sir” Kieth replied, “Rodger that” Responded Pidge “ Lets do this.” Hunk exclaimed “Right behind you!” Exclaimed Lance as the lions separated with Blue, Black, Green and Yellow heading out of the ice clusters whilst Red stays to fight the pursuing fighters. 

The Red lion flies through the clusters avoiding the laser fire using its enhanced speed and agility. The fighters turn a corner round a large chunk of ice only to find their target is no longer present. Suddenly from behind one of the clusters the Red lion flew in fast and an invisible force slices through all the fighters which is the Red Lions jaw blade and the fighters explode behind it leaving Kieth with a grin on his face. 

Outside the cluster the Blue lion is avoiding the blasts from the chasing Galra fighters but suddenly takes a hit, shaking up Lance in the cockpit. “Whoa! things are heating up!” Lance said but then puts on a look of determination. “Time to cool’em down!” He moved the flight sticks and turned the lion around facing the fighters. The lion opens its jaws, and fires a large white beam which upon contact encases the fighters in ice and the immense cold renders them powerless. 

“ Heh heh looks like the Galra have a case of brain freeze!” Lance cracked. 

Meanwhile the Green Lion is outflying the Galra fighters but nearly gets hit with an energy blast, the lion then flies over the fighters then forms a green, grey and black cannon on its back. The cannon then fires a green energy beam at the four fighters. Upon contact without warning vines begin to grow on the fighters which then crush them in a tight grip and explode soon after.  Green emerges from the blast with a victorious roar. 

“Gee who knew the Galra had a green thumb!” Said Pidge with a smirk. 

A fighter was about to fire on the Green Lion until from the left the Yellow Lion charged into its side crushing it. The lion charges and deliberately crashes into three other fighters and tosses them off its face, and into an incoming group of fighters. The Yellow Lion could handle the beating of their laser blasts with its durable armour. 

“Wa-hoo!” Hunk yelled “ Looks like its demolition derby season for Galra fighters!” 

The Galra warship fires all its weapons on its intended target, the Black Lion, which flies to avoid the blasts from the starboard cannons, and begins to charge its Ion Cannon. The lion forms its double jawblade in its mouth and charges forward with the jets in its wings. The Ion cannon fires an enormous blast at the Black lion but it moves to avoid it and targets the cannons main supports using the jaw blade to slice into the support separating the cannon from the ship. The cannon explodes and Black flies away. The lieutenant checks the screen on the bridge and sees that the Ion cannon is destroyed. 

“Sir, the Black lions destroyed the Ion cannon and our fighters are destroyed. Shall we retreat?” He said.  

Morvak was about to answer until. “We shall not retreat.” Another voice answered for him, a voice that sent a shiver down his very spine. He turned to see a hooded individual who’s cloak covered half her face with glowing yellow eyes and blue skin with red marks on her face. It was Haggar high priestess of the Galra Empire. 

“If you are too incompetent to capture the lions Morvak. I shall handle this, personally.” She said with a hint of venom in her voice. Outside the Lions had defeated the remaining fighters as the Black lion flies towards them. “Team report.” Shiro called “Fighters are down Shiro.” Kieth replied “ Then lets take down that warship.” Shiro ordered knowing what to do next. “Everyone get ready to form…” Suddenly Shiro cries in pain as he begins to feel a surge of power striking him and his lion. “GAAAAAAAA!” 

“Shiro!” Exclaimed Kieth. “Look” Pidge pointed the other Paladins to the source of the dark energy striking the Black Lion. It was coming from the warship emanating from the hands of Haggar. “It’s the witch!” Lance exclaimed “ We can’t let her get the Black Lion, TAKE HER DOWN!!” Kieth ordered as the four lions fired energy blasts from their mouths and at the warship to blast the witch. She moves quickly to avoid the energy blasts almost like a black blur. Haggar fires a dark blast at the lions which they are quick to avoid before returning fire. 

The Red Lion looks back to see the Black Lion floating lifeless in space. “Shiro, you okay?! Shiro!”Kieth called but got no response until Kieth hears a groan over the comms. In the lions cockpit Shiro is recovering from the blast he took. “I… I’m okay” He breathed as he tried to reboot his lion by moving the flight sticks but theres no response.”But my lions not responding.”He said. The Lions continued to stand their ground against Haggar, who is about to fire another blast until an incoming blast from the starboard side of the warship knocks her off balance taking her by surprise. She turns and glares at the source of the blast. The Castle of Lions. 

“Coran focus fire on the warship!” Allura exclaimed from the bridge “Rodger that Princess!” Coran replied firing on the Galra ship. Using the opportunity the lions group up towards their alpha. Though Haggar tries to defend herself from the castle she sees the lions grouped together in one place and decides to strike, giving a yell as she generates a massive orb of dark energy and fires it at her prey. In the Blue Lion, Lance caught sight of a dark glow from behind them and sees the energy blast coming towards them. 

“LOOK OUT!” Lance shouted as he quickly turns his lion to face the energy blast and fires a blast from its mouth, colliding with the witches dark magic. The energy builds up and an orb begins to form. Pidge looks at the energy readings coming from it and realises the collision is causing something to happen. “Lance stop it!….” Suddenly the orb explodes and engulfs everything in a bright light blinding The Paladins, Haggar, Allura, and Coran. The light soon fades, the Galra Warship has been reduced powerless and Haggar is unconscious. In the Castle of Lions, Allura and Coran are also rendered unconscious. However, there is one party not present and that was the Voltron Lions almost as if they’d simply vanished. 

Elsewhere

High in the cool night sky, the Northern Lights shine, whip and flicker in the silence of the night. Far below this vibrant majestic sight was the kingdom of Arendelle, its populace were all sound asleep in their homes. High in the hills close to the snowy mountain five individuals sat on the grass covered ground near the forest.  These were the royals of the kingdom, Queen Elsa and her sister Princess Anna with the Kingdoms Ice master and deliverer Kristof, his reindeer companion Sven and Olaf the little snowman who was created by Elsa. They all sat in front of a large rock and the evergreens around them had small traces of snow on the ground. They looked up at the night sky waiting for something. 

“Ohhh how much longer do we need to wait?!” Anna said excitedly “Relax Anna, you won’t have to wait much longer.” Chuckled her boyfriend in assurance. “I can tell why your excited” Said Elsa putting her hand on her sisters shoulder.” Its only once every three years that millions of shooting stars appear in the sky above Arendelle.” “Yeah I’ll bet its the most amazing thing ever.” Said Olaf with a smile.

A month had passed since Arendelle had been thawed from an eternal winter accidentally caused by Elsa during her coronation. However, thanks to her sister the kingdom was saved and the two sisters were reunited after years of being apart. Sven then notices something in the sky and nudges Kristofs shoulder with his large nose getting his attention. Kristof sees what his friend is seeing and points it out to Anna and Elsa. As they look up to the sky they saw an amazing sight, millions of shooting stars soar across the sky through the Northern lights harmonsing with the very colours of the sky itself. This vibrant display reflected in their eyes and Anna all but marvelled at this display.

Although a beautiful sight, Anna looked to her elder sister and noticed a mild look of sadness on her face. “Elsa?” getting her sisters attention. 

“Its nights like this that make me think of when Mom and Dad took us to see this when we were kids.”Said Elsa sadly. Annas expression turned to sympathy as she too remembered how their parents brought them to this very spot years ago. She placed her hand on her sisters shoulder, 

“ I know”she said” I wish they were here too.” making her elder sister smile a little. “ Hey look there.” Called Kristof bringing their attention to the sky. They looked to see five stars shooting across the sky in colours of violet, red, green, blue, and yellow. 

“Ooo pretty.” Awed Olaf, whilst Anna and Elsa looked up in amazement. A notion then popped into their heads and so they closed their eyes, as its said that making a wish on a shooting star before it disappears the wish would come true. Elsa took a moment to think about what to wish for, and out of everything she could think of only one thing came to mind.

” I…I wish… for someone to bring me happiness” she whispered quietly so that even Anna couldn’t hear her, but its said we must be careful what we wish for.

High above, the stars are actually the Voltron Lions crashing down from the sky. Inside the powerless Black Lion, Shiro who is finding it hard to stay conscious is trying to guide his lion down to the ground. Black begins to fall away from the rest of the group, and inside the other four lions Kieth, Lance, Hunk and Pidge are doing the best they can guide their lions into a controlled crash. 

“Come on come on!” Kieth growls trying to pull his lion out of the crash. “ Yellow come on work for me!” Hunk tried.”Come on Blue anytime now!!” Lance panicked. Pidge looked outside and saw they were drawing ever closer to the ground. “Theres no time!” She cried “ EVERYONE BRACE YOURSELVES!” Shiro shouted. 

As they braced themselves for the crash and the ground drawing ever closer Lance could only say one thing. “ Oh Quiznak!” The Lions crashed to the ground knocking down trees and leaving a trail of drag marks behind them sliding on the ground, building up a mound of dirt and rocks in front of them eventually bringing them to a halt. Steam poured from the lions as they cooled down. 

Inside his lion Shiro begins to stir groaning as he did. He could see his lion was depowered, and the cockpit was completely dark. He emerges from the Black lion via the escape hatch located in the top of its head. He looks around his surroundings and sees he’s crashed in the middle of a forest at night. Shiro climbs down from his lion, but upon touching the ground he feels weak and dizzy realising he hasn’t fully recovered from his attack, but never the less, fights to stay awake. 

“Princess. Come in.” Said Shiro activating the com channel in his helmet, but can’t get any response.”Coran respond please.” still no answer. “ Anyone.” There was only one sound static. He walks through the forest to find where his teammates crashed. He begins to climb a steep hill looking to see the Black Lion a distance behind him. 

He feels tired and exhausted but forces himself to stay awake.

“…Shiro…re…..ou…re?….” Suddenly he heard a weak transmission coming through and he recognised the voice. “Kieth, is that you? Can you hear me?” Shiro answered back but there was no answer. He guessed it was due to the dense forest so he heads higher up the hill. 

Shiro, Come in are you there?” The signal got stronger. “Kieth, I’m here you guys okay?” 

Not too far away the other Lions had crashed and their Paladins had just climbed out of their lions, and Lance anime style fell face first to the ground.

 “Shiro, you made it are you okay?” Kieth said in relief that his friend was okay. “Yeah I’m okay how about you?” Shiro asked “ We’re a little battered but alive.” Kieth answered “Speak for yourself.” Groaned Lance as he got up.” The last time I got a headache like this there’d better be a simulator involved” “Oh no Lance” Said Pidge looking around the crash site “ this turned out a lot worse than the last time you crashed a simulator.” Suddenly they heard the sound of someone hurling and they all knew who it was Hunk as he was being sick after falling from space. 

“ Sorry so sorry” he breathed before vomiting again much to the teams disgust “Hey you have to admit, thats a new record he’s never gone that long before” Pidge observed tilting her glasses. “So where are you?” Kieth asked.

In the hills deep in the forest

Shiro looks around to get his bearings.”I’m not too far from you, but I’m not sure where…” Shiro then groaned slightly and leaned against a tree. “Shiro, Shiro you still there?!” Kieth called “ Ngh, I’m fine” Shiro groaned “I just…” “You don’t sound fine, your probably still beat up from the blast you took.” Pidge interrupted. Suddenly they were startled by a howling sound echoing through the forest which spooks Lance and Hunk.

 “W… Was that a wolf!” Lance said in surprise. Shiro could hear this too, and he activated the torch light on his gauntlet and shined it towards the trees. He looked closely and in the darkness he could see something disturbing, it was white eyes with growling. He wasn’t alone. 

“Shiro, whats going on?!” Kieth said over the com Shiro moved his right hand and it began to glow purple and tried to stand his ground as the wolves emerged from the shadows growling and staring at their prey. Shiro soon realised he was too weak to fight and so there was only one choice. Run. He scurried down the hill with the wolves close behind, Shiro uses his cyber prosthetic hand to slice down a tree to try and slow them down but the wolves jumped over it. 

“Shiro whats going on SHIRO!” Kieth shouted over the com Shiro couldn’t answer as he was trying to evade the wolves. One was getting very close to him and tried to leap onto him but he was able to swat it away with his prosthetic hand. Suddenly he saw the edge of a cliff he could see the jump was too far but he had no choice, he activated his armours jet pack which gives him a powered jump across the gap. 

Suddenly the jet pack over heats mid way across, Shiro can see he won’t make it so he thrusts his prosthetic hand into the rock and screamed in pain as he dangles from the cliff edge. The wolves stop at the cliff edge and bark at their escaped prey as he climbed back up onto the ledge and rolls on his back in exhaustion. Later , he continues walking down hill but he’s tired and exhausted and begins to see double vision. In doing so he doesn’t see where he’s going and trips on a rock sending him rolling down hill hitting some rocks, loses his helmet and finally hits the ground and loses consciousness. “Shiro, are you there, Shiro, Shiro!” Echoed Kieth on the helmets com. 

Nearby the Arendelle royals, Icemaster and snowman were riding back to the kingdom on Kristofs sled pulled by Sven going down the hill slopes. As they rode along Sven smelled something in the air and then out of the corner of his eye he saw something near the forest. He stops rather suddenly to the surprise of the passengers. 

“H-hey whats up Sven? Why’d you stop?” Asked Kristof, Sven began snorting trying to point them to something but they couldn’t understand what. “Buddy I can’t understand you when you talk like that.” Said Kristof, Sven frowned and moved his head to the right. 

“ I think he’s seen something.” Anna guessed so they looked to the right to see what it was the reindeer had seen. Olaf then saw something. 

“Hey guys, not sure this is going to help but theres someone lying down over there.” He said directing their attention. They looked and Elsa could see what looked like a man lying down on the ground.

 “ Oh no!” Said Elsa who immediately dismounted from the sled in concern she Anna, Kristof, and Olaf ran over to where the man was. 

They came up and saw the man was wearing black and white armour with some glowing blue lines and an arrow like shape on the chest plate. He had black hair with a white forelock and on his face he had a large scar across the bridge of his nose. The sisters knelt down and turned him on his back and saw he was rather beaten up.

 “Is he…” Anna asked “No he’s alive, just unconscious” Kristof said checking for a pulse. “What happened to him?” Anna asked her sister” I don’t know” Elsa answered “ but right now he needs help lets get him back to the castle.” With that Kristof picked up the man and carried him to his sled and loaded him onto the cargo area. However Elsa couldn’t help but wonder who was he?

Elsewhere:

Far in the darkest corners of space, stood a large alien fortress surrounded by fleets of warships in the centre of the star system surrounded by gas planets. The sight of the fortress sends fear down the spines of even the bravest of warriors for this was the stronghold of the Paladins of Voltron’s most hated enemy. On the bridge of this warship, Haggar silently enters the room aproaching the throne in the centre of the room and knelling before her master, the most vile of all the Galra race Emperor Zarkon.

“Sire” Said Haggar eerily “I regret to inform you our ambush has failed, and the Voltron Lions have… disappeared.” Zarkon sat on his throne tightly clenching its arms in anger.” How” he spoke.” I attempted to render the lions powerless,” Haggar began “ but the Blue Lion intercepted my dark magic with its own blast of energy, the collision of which caused an explosion. What happened to the Paladins after that I regrettably don’t know.” She finished awaiting her emperors response.

“Do not despair Haggar.”Zarkon began with darkness in his voice “ There is nowhere in this universe that they can hide from my visions reach. We will find them, we shall wipe the Paladins of the face of the universe forever and claim Voltron once and for all.” Zarkons eyes glowed with purple energy as the hunt for his quarry had begun. 

Chapter 1 done folks chapter 2 will come soon.

Rise of A Defender. By Hero Central: 

This was an illustration I had planned for one of my crossover stories between Disneys Frozen and Voltron Legendary Defender which I’m currently writing and will post on here in due course with Illustrations to follow. I was inspired by the Legend begins for this illustration and it gives me something to do whilst I wait for the trailer for Season 6.

My top 5 favourite things about Voltron Legendary Defender so far.

Morning folks I thought I’d take the time to list some of my favourite elements of Voltron Legendary Defender so far from seasons 1-4.

1. Voltron’s Origin

As we know from season 3 we saw the very origin of Voltron itself in this incarnation which I think is a very good element to use. Whilst Voltron Force gave some elements of Voltron’s origin as a culmination of 5 planets it didn’t really depict the story of the original Voltron Force before Kieth and his team. In this version of Voltron it gives a more in depth origin story to the mighty Defender or the Universe, and its original Paladins. We even see how the 10′000 year long war and search for Voltron had begun and how the planets in the Altean system were once a coalition of planets working side by side.

2. Mystical Bond Between a Lion and its Paladin: 

One other element that I like was the spiritual element of Voltron and how the lions are essentially living beings in this incarnation guiding their Paladins and helping them when the time arises be it unlocking new powers or strengthening their bond. In elements like Voltron Force and Third Dimension they’ve tried to show the mystical element behind the lions and some are even referenced in this new incarnation such as the lions acting on their own without pilots or when testing them. Said bond actually helps to strengthen Voltron such as when Allura charged Voltron with quintessence on Nauxella or Kieth motivating the team to Form Voltron after falling into Lotors trap.

3.Characters and their developments:

What I liked more was how the characters develop within the seasons of Voltron such as Kieth beginning to develop as a leader or learning more about his origins, Lance being less of an arrogant lover boy and into Voltron's right hand man, Pidge becoming more determined and open minded be it finding her family or learning to work outside her tech junkie zone. In terms of Hunk he's becoming more smart and big hearted in the group and whilst yes theres still the vomiting issue (which I hope doesnt stop as its dead funny gross but funny) Allura is learning to be a better leader and diplomat just like her father and progressing as a strong Paladin of the Blue Lion and being the overall heart of Voltron, Coran I’m not sure about but he knows when to give guidance and wisdom to Allura or even the Paladins in his own way of course, and when he's not being tricked by space pirates in a swap shop. One element thats been a very emotional is the bond of family that the Paladins share such as the brotherhood between Kieth and Shiro, and Lance’s rivalry with Kieth be it in the Garrison or on the team, and Allura shares a bond of family with the Paladins ever since the loss of her farther and civilisation even when knowing about Kieth’s Galra heritage she looks past her anger and who knows later in the series she may even care for him. 

4. Villains and their motives:

As we know in the past incarnations of Voltron the villains have motives such as galactic conquest or revenge on Voltron using a dark power that can defeat him. However in this version we see more darker motives in the villains intentions to capture Voltron and use it to travel to other realities and gain unlimited quintessence. What I like about Zarkon and Haggar is their origin of being a former Altean alchemist and the former Black Paladin of Voltron. What makes a good villain in my view is not how cruel they can be or what schemes they hatch its their origins and who they were before they were corrupted by evil which shows their intentions and how they took the wrong path just to achieve them. In terms of Lotor its still hard to understand his motives since as far as we know he’s trying to succeed where his mother and farther failed without the need to chase after Voltron and be blinded by an obsession.

5.Amazing storylines:

In terms of the series itself the storylines are very well wrote and give more story and origins to the characters such as Kieth’s Gara heritage or the hidden secrets of Voltron. One thing that was interesting is how the story’s impact the characters and our understanding of what may happen in the future such as Keith standing down as leader so that the Paladins would have strong leadership in Shiro but later he may realise he's made a mistake pushing his friends away and that its not his friends or his Galra side holding him back its himself. Also the cliffhangers that the producers have at the end of each season be it the Paladins being sent to different corners of the galaxy and not knowing if they survived, Shiro’s disappearance, Zarkon’s potential return or even Lotor declaring a truce with the Voltron Coalition. This for me gets the adrenaline pumping in my veins and everytime theres a cliff hanger I just yell “ YOU CAN’T STOP IT THERE!!!! WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?”

Thats some of my favourite elements of Voltron so far and who knows come seasons 5 or 6 I may find even more elements that I like beyond what I know so far.

Recently in my animation course I’ve been learning how to use After Effects to do some motion backgrounds and multiplane animation like in the golden age of animation. with this knowledge I decided to put it to use in one of my Voltron fan pieces just for fun and I must say its turned out very well indeed.I’ve also considered the possibility of using this to make my first ever motion comics though I’m gonna take my time with this and learn more before putting it to use in my comics both fan or my own creations  To be clear I’ve done this for fun I don’t own voltron or its characters this was just done to test out the idea of this type of animation.

Voltron season 4 amazement.

I’ve just seen season 4 and I really wasn't expecting this, but the plus side is SHIRO IS THE BLACK LION AGAIN!!!!! though I am sad that Kieth is not the black paladin as I really wanted to see him lead a bit longer under Shiro’s guidance, but he's following his own path to help defend the universe and put an end to the Galra. Ah well I still have fan comics and crossover stories for that element. What really touched me was Shiro trying to reforge his bond with the Black lion when he said “you trusted me once, please trust me again.”and its like Kieth said his connection was still there it was only dormant for being away for so long. This has given me some proof that Shiro couldn't possibly be a clone the fact he was able to reconnect to the Black lion is proof of that. However it doesn't seem to be the same with Shiro leading this new team without Kieth, its gonna take some getting used to. Plus this season has confirmed many more of my theories such as Zarkon’s return to the throne looking more menacing than ever with that life-support armour, and Haggar is remembering her former past as an Altean. One other confirmation is that this war is turning into a power struggle between him and Lotor for control of the Galra empire. What surprised me was Narti one of Lotors generals being a spy for Haggar as many had predicted since she had her former cat Kova. 

But what was a real surprise was the other generals turning on Lotor when his plan to open the rift on the Galra home world failed, but not surprising since who wants to follow a leader who can't deliver on his promises. Looking at Acxa’s expression it must’ve been hard for her to turn on someone she was most loyal to, if we get season 5 we may see more of her character if she swears loyalty to Zarkon. What was really epic was Kieth willing to sacrifice himself for the success of the final assault on the Galra empire to solidify the coalition, by ramming into the energy shield of the gala ship that was about to detonate the planet with Voltron on it. But Allura being able to channel her energy to free them showed her dedication to the cause encouraged by Lance being himself instead of the arrogant lover boy. 

Looking at the reunion episode I felt glad for Pidge as she had finally been reunited with her brother but was slightly upset when she found that grave yard at first but soon finding her brother on another planet. Plus it seems that Lance has competition for Alluras affection, this is gonna be a real comedy but what was most funny was Allura and Coran finding out where milk comes from HA HA HA! classic Avatar comedy! and we get to see more of Lance’s pet cow. The cliffhanger was a real surprise that Lotor saved Kieth at the last minute before he was killed by crashing into the shield, and it seems given the circumstances he’s willing to declare a truce with the Voltron Coalition, however could he be doing this to further his own agenda to reclaim the Galra empire and seek revenge on his generals for their betrayal.

Looks like we’ve got a lot more to come in season 5 unlikely alliances and  the possibility of more surprises and Zarkon is back in control and in quoting Transformers Age of Extinction “He's gonna show the world baby I’m back!” Lets hope the Paladins and their allies are ready for what comes next they're gonna need a miracle to win this war and rid the Galaxy of Zarkon for good this time!

Voltron season 4 new theories and possible cliffhangers.

Hi folks I’ve just seen the latest clips for Voltron season 4 and its developed new theories and possibilities into what may happen. As we know in season 4/Part 2 of season 3 the paladins are beginning to bring the coalition together, but it would seem that Lotor is beginning to put his plan into play to travel to alternate universes to gather pure quintessence, and it involves using a dimensional rift gate to open the rift on the Galra home planet Daibazaal which we assumed the original paladins sealed by destroying the planet. However as we know the rift is made of quintessence which is a source of pure energy which can't be destroyed so if the rift is there Lotor is planning to use this rift gate and the ship he forged from the comets ore to travel through the rift which could possibly bring dire consequences to the entire universe. Meanwhile in terms of the paladins as we know from some spoiler posts Kieth makes a decision that could ultimately cause a rift within the team, I wonder if its to do with his decision to continue his marmora training. As we know from one of the clips Kieth thinks that Shiro should lead the team again as he's better at it despite the black lion no longer responding to him, but Shiro believes that Kieth is meant to lead the team now and has accepted his place at tactical support from the castle. I think that Kieth will decide to continue training with the Blade of Marmora as he may wish to learn more of his Galra heritage and origins or to be better prepared for Lotor, and he may think this is something he has to do, which could lead to the rift in the team.

Looking at the clips its clear that Pidge is getting closer to finding her brother Matt given how she was able to ‘convince’ The Unalu dealer to give her the intel she needed and how she came across one of the rebels upon saving her from a Galra fighter and may decide to follow up on this new found information. An image that I recently found shows she's reporting to the team possibly about what she's found out and want to find her brother. However Shiro may think that its a too much of a long shot and wants her to return to the castle to focus on the Coalition. However Pidge may disagree and decides to pursue this anyway and possibly reminds Shiro that Kieth is doing what he needs to do so she must do what she has to do and thats find her family. 

Looking at some of the present facts and theories about this season so far its likely that at some point in his marmora training Kieth will realise that he was afraid of filling Shiro’s shoes as leader as being the leader of the Defender of the Universe are pretty big shoes to fill but may realise that its time to grow up. This may possibly happen during an epic battle with that new Galra cruiser from the trailer or at the season finale as it shows Voltron battling Galra ships meaning the team comes back together. I’m also wondering if during said battle Zarkon announces his return to the throne given the season 3 finale and season 5 may turn into a power struggle between him and Lotor. I’m also wondering what will happen come the season finale of season 4 I have a hunch it'll be something big as this show is becoming known for its epic cliffhangers. One possibility could be the Paladins becoming aware of Lotors secret Jump gate at the remains of Daibazaal and Kieth wants to destroy it so that Lotor can't use it but unintentionally bring horrifying consequences or if either Kieth or Lance gets seriously injured during a battle and they may think its Shiros fault because they should've been listening to Kieth and not him as he is the black paladin now and not Shiro or perhaps that Shiro betrays Kieths trust in some way be it the intel on Lotor or trusting Kieth to make his own decisions as leader. 

All of these are very good questions and theories and I guess we’ll have to wait until season 4 to find the answers and its fast approaching I can barely contain my excitement.

Evening folks heres my contribution to Inktober with some old and new inked sketches some of which were ones I was going to do as digital illustrations but never found the time due to college work. Whilst others were sketches and experiments in finding a new way to draw Voltron and some ideas for my Legend of Korra/Voltron Legendary Defender crossover these use the traditional techniques of inking with G-pens and Chinese inks.

Voltron Legendary Defender & Avatar series connected?

Hi folks Alex here and I thought for this weeks post I’d talk about the connection between Voltron Legendary Defender and the Avatar series. 

As we know this incarnation of Voltron uses the same artist and producer as the Avatar series both Legend of Korra and The last Airbender/Legend of Aang both are very creative and go into more depth and use interesting settings and feels. After looking over a few episodes of Legendary defender both recent and old my theories that I posted on this blog indicate a connection between the two series and show the possibilities of a crossover between the two franchises. The key of this is the theory of the multiverse and as mentioned in The legend begins the sages of Altea have long theorised that there are many realms stacked against each other such as the realm with the dark quintessence creatures. But who's to say that the Avatars reality isn't one of them, as we know in the Avatar universe there are two worlds the physical and spiritual world and the Avatar is the bridge between the two worlds. The key to the similarities is in the characters and the events such as the dark creature from the rift on the Galra home world that the original Paladins of Voltron destroyed. 

I couldn't help but see a similarity between that creature and the dark spirits from the spirit world during book 2 of Legend of Korra

Both creatures can't be touched physically and possess a similar property of dark quintessence. What if when Zarkon deceived the paladins into enlarging the rift so he could save his wife the creature that corrupted them was a dark spirit from the spirit world indicating the rift lead to that particular universe. 

Another connection would be between the Avatar and Voltron itself, as we know the Avatar can master all four elements including spirit bending thanks to Ravva the spirit of light and Voltron is comprised of five lions that represent its own elements fire, water, earth, forest and the sky. Then theres the fact that in order to form Voltron the spirit of both the Paladins and the Lions must unite as one just as the Avatar state which connects to past lives and become one with the light spirit itself. 

In terms of the characters as I said in a previous post there are some incarnations of certain characters such as Kuviera and the Altea general Hira from the mirrorverse who have the same voice and personality wanting to achieve a powerful empire such as Hira and her Alteans taking the free will of others or Kuvira building a giant mecha suit to unite an empire showing that they are reflections of the other in the multiverse. 

Another connection would be between Ty-lee and Ezor. Ezor’s personality is that she’s and I quote “the friendliest of Lotors generals” as Ty-lee is the friendliest of Azulas minions but at the same time have a determination to complete their mission as was shown at the boiling rock and when Ezor was fighting Kieth. 

Speaking of Kieth, as we know in season 3 he is now the leader of Voltron and is still trying to figure out how to be a good leader both in himself and under Shiro’s guidance (even if he is a clone but until I see season four I remain skeptical) this shows something he has in common with Korra. As we know when Kieth was a Paladin he was hot headed, determined to succeed and sometimes aggressive but this was due to him questioning his humanity after learning about his Galra heritage and over the seasons he's begun to care and take on new responsibilities as leader and as a Paladin. This is something Korra shares as she couldn't wait to be the Avatar but due to her being so Naive it lead to some imbalances no matter how hard she tries to bring balance but after her confrontation with both UnaVattu and  Zaheer she's matured into a compassionate person who is willing to put others before herself such as the resurrected Air nation and being able to be compassionate to others even Kuvira. 

Just as Kieth was learning to chose his battles and making tough choices showing that the two have more in common than they might think and they both had friends to guide them on their path be it bringing balance or being a leader. 

Both these series are very in depth about their characters, history, interactions and elements that link them together intertwining their fate. Plus I think a crossover between them be it fan or official would show the true connection between the series and if dreamworks, netflix and Nickolodeon manage to negotiate a crossover I’d certainly pay to see it. 

I hope that we see more of these connections come season four of Voltron Legendary Defender and who knows maybe even more so, I’m considering doing a crossover fan comic of my own at some point just need to finish other projects and get the right timing and inspiration.

Voltron season three thoughts and theories.

Evening folks I’ve just seen the latest series of Voltron, and whilst I was a little disappointed it was seven episodes instead of thirteen it has provided some interesting insight into the story of our favourite giant robot.

What I liked about season 3 was the moment when each of the paladins and Allura, were seeing who would be accepted by the black lion, and seeing Hunk and Pidge try was very amusing to watch. However I’m betting the reason it rejected everyone was because the lion probably knew that Kieth was meant to be its new Paladin. One other element was Lance accepting that Kieth was the better choice of leader and Alluras story of her farther being the first red lion did inspire him and his choice leading to the earning the red lions respect, and Allura being accepted by the blue lion. This has also confirmed my theory of Kieth rallying the troops and the moment he said “Form Voltron” it felt like I was watching the old 80s series and when the transformation sequence came I was literally shouting the old transformation phrases. 

One issue I could take from this is the length of time of Shiros absence, because I wanted to see Kieth properly develop as a leader but since he's now back and with a new look (still liked the old one though) he may help Coran give tactical support to Kieth and his team with. This has also given a little confusion because in one of the spoiler images I saw on google it showed Shiro fighting alongside Pidges brother, now I assume though this is something we may see in season 4 at some point. Once again I could also see legendary defender using elements from its predecessors such as the parallel dimension element from Voltron the Third Dimension (not one of my favourites) and using old characters such as Shiro’s counterpart Sven. Previously I’d said that using Alluras pink armour was going back to power rangers logic but again this series has more depth and detail and in this incarnation wearing the colour pink is for Alteans to remember the warriors of old which does make sense to me and Alluras Bayard weapon relates to her energy whip from Voltron Force. 

I could also see some influence of the Avatar series in Voltron such as Kuvira’s evil Altean cousin and the Galra version of Ty-lee none the less showing a definite connection between the two series. The best element though was in episode seven showing the history of Voltron and how the lions were built and the connection to the comet Lotor was after and judging from my past theories he has bigger plans than his farther. This even shows the origin of Haggar and I really didn’t expect her to be Zarkons wife and what corrupted her, that was a real twist, plus it reveals Zarkons true intentions for wanting control of Voltron not just to rule the universe but to break the dimensional barriers to collect quintessence from other dimensions. This maybe the reason why Lotor wants the comet to create a ship to pierce the dimensions so that he can collect the quintessence for himself. 

Its all starting to come together now its astonishing Dreamworks have really outdone themselves with Voltron taking it to levels that didn’t seem possible for its predecessors. Judging from the cliffhanger it seems Zarkon maybe making a comeback come season 4 and Lotors little power play won't last long. I can't wait till season 4 as everything is falling into place.
