What Would Good King Alfor Do?

The Voltron force backed into a corner, blasters out and ready, as they peered valiantly into the dimness of the underground cavern. Keith glanced quickly around at his teammates, taking in the grim desperation on their faces, illuminated briefly by the fires in the passageways leading above ground. This was not good. This was very, very not good. There had to be a way out, something they had overlooked in their search. Good guys weren't allowed to die in underground caverns while bad guys rode off into the proverbial sunset, most especially not in television shows aimed at children.

Keith caught Lance as he stumbled, knocked off balance by a blast to the cavern wall. "We've got to get out of here," Keith hissed, shoving Lance back to his feet.

Lance shot him an exasperated look. "No kidding? Do you think so?"

Sven, who had NOT been mortally wounded and shipped off to planet Ebb only to be captured, cast away, and saved by Romelle, all due to a whim of the narrator, sighed. "Knock eet off, yew two."

Hunk glared around at his friends, grumbling his dissatisfaction with their current state of affairs. "Unless anyone has a bright idea, we're in big trouble."

Keith looked around desperately. They couldn't give up now. They were the heroes, darn it! A smile crossed his face as a sudden obviously magical illumination glinted off the keys on their uniforms. Maybe they just needed a little inspiration. He jumped up onto a nearby rock and looked around as a sudden moment of dramatic silence descended.

Hunk clapped a hand over his eyes. "Oh, God, not another speech. Please, I promise I'll never ask for anything again…"

Keith glared until he shut up, then composed himself.

Keith: [singing] What would Good King Alfor do
If he was here right now?
He'd make a plan and he'd follow through
That's what Good King Alfor would do.

Lance: [jumping up and knocking Keith backward off the rock]
When Good King Alfor was in yon castle where
Outside a battle raged
He created an indestructible robot
While in the dungeon caged.

Pidge: [settles on a rock with an enthralled expression and pulls a large tub of buttered popcorn out of hammerspace- he is, after all, still a child and believes whole-heartedly in happy endings]

Hunk: [leans against wall unobtrusively and sighs] Here we go again. I'll be explaining these little karoake night flashbacks to my psychiatrist in ten years.

Sven: [jumping up on the rock and throwing an arm around Lance's shoulder, accidentally losing his accent in all the excitement]
When Good King Alfor was in the caverns
Fighting Zarcon there
He used his magical sword of fire
And saved the lions fair.

Keith: [herding forward an excited Pidge and a reluctant Hunk] Come on, guys! We're all in this together!

Hunk: [glares at Keith]

Keith: [smacks him on the back of the head]

Hunk: [sighs in defeat and pantomimes excitement]

All: So what would Good King Alfor do
If he were here today?
I'm sure he'd kick a butt or two,
That's what Good King Alfor would do!

Lance: [pulling Keith aside] Butt?

Keith: [pointing at Pidge and mouthing the words Y-7]

Lance: Oh, yeah…

Sven: I want revenge on Lotor, you see
For what he did to Romelle and me.

Lance: And I just want Planet Doom to stop enslaving everyone.

Keith: For Allura, I'll be a hero too!
'Cause that's what Good King Alfor would do!

Lance: [shooting Keith an annoyed look] Loser.

All: So what would Good King Alfor do
He'd free all the slaves on Doom;
And tell them to unite for truth
That's what Good King Alfor would do!

Pidge: When Good King Alfor had a vision of the future
To the year 2410;
His robot fought the evil king
And saved the human race again!

Hunk: [knocking Lance and Sven to the floor as he jumps onto the rock in a sudden burst of karoake spirit]
And when Good King Alfor built the Castle of Lions
He beat up Zarcon's son!

Keith: [blinking] No, he didn't.

All, ignoring Keith: 'Cause Good King Alfor didn't take poo from anybody!

Sven: [looking confused] Anyone. Shouldn't that be anyone?

Keith: [taps his shoulder, points at Pidge, and mouths the words Y-7 again]

Sven: [shaking his head] No, that's not it…

All, except a very confused Sven: So let's get all the slaves together,
And UNITE to stop Zarcon,
And we'll save Arus, and the Alliance, too,
'Cause that's what Good King Alfor would do!

Sven: [shrugs and gives up]

All with various extras including Zarcon dressed as Julius Caesar, Coran as a Catholic schoolgirl, and Allura, Romelle, Nanny, Merla, and Hagar dressed as the Rockettes:
And we'll save Arus, and the Alliance, too,
'Cause that's what Good King Alfor would do!

[As the last of the song fades away, Alfor's image fills the chamber with his hands over his ears.]

Alfor's ghost: All right, I'm here! I'll do anything you ask! Just please stop singing!

Keith: [looking faintly disappointed] But we were all ready for the next big musical number.

Lance: [glancing at Hagar's costume] Yeah, we were going to do "Freak on a Leash."

[Everyone ducks for cover as Hagar shrieks in indignant rage. Firebolts begin to fly around the cavern.]

Keith, to Lance as they fade out, magically transported into the lions to save the day: You just never can keep your mouth shut, can you?
