Despite protest, Allura is determined to reach Honerva's mind, and the paladins undertake a journey within the void.
Plot Summary[]
After collapsing, Allura is unconscious for two days. When she wakes up, she holds a meeting with the original Voltron crew, revealing her plan to use Voltron and the Entity to track Honerva's location. Lance and Coran are the only ones against it.
Almost as soon as she climbs in her lion, Allura cries out as flashes of Honerva course through her. She plays it off and they form Voltron, the paladins finding themselves in a white swirling void. They follow a light and once through, find themselves in a vast, galaxy-like void. They all describe a strange sensation. Lance phrases it as "It's like I can hear what the universe is thinking." And Pidge relates it to the Olkari's belief that everything is made of the same energy. This time when Allura is struck with pain and images of Honerva, they all feel it through the psychic link of Voltron. Lance wants to abort the mission, but Allura remains determined. They manage to summon Voltron within the mindscape and begin traveling toward Honerva.
They find their mind-selves standing on a dark, glass-like surface. Allura can tell Honerva's mind is on the other side. Ghostly hands appear to drag all but Keith beneath the surface. The paladins find themselves in color-coded voids similar to the one Shiro was trapped in, within the mind of the black lion. They fight against their predecessors, until the lions appear and bring the paladins of old back to themselves.
They all return with their lions to the top of Honerva's mind, where Allura gets to hug her father, Alfor again. Despite being warned by a third person(her father) about the dangers of the entity, Allura insists they enter Honerva's mind. She presses her palm to the ground and her magic traces a wormhole symbol into the glass-like surface, teleporting them all.
