Later, it turned out that Zarkon and Honerva were made immortal and pure evil. Being exposed to an overdose of quintessence, Zarkon and Honerva had apparently perished, so Alfor was forced to evacuate Daibazaal and destroy the planet to seal the rift. When the alien creatures responded to Voltron's intrusion, forcing Alfor to lead Voltron back to their reality. But instead of sealing it, Voltron merely enlarged it and fell into the rift into the other reality, where Zarkon revealed his true goal to expose his dying wife, Honerva, to quintessence to save her. From then onwards, as their alliance explored the universe, Voltron became known as the Defender of the Universe.Д®ventually, Zarkon called on his fellow Paladins to use Voltron to close the rift on Daibazaal. Forming Voltron, the Paladins were able to destroy the alien entity. Suddenly, Alfor had a vision of a mighty robot composed of all five lions combined and he spoke its name: Voltron. The Paladins then took their lions into battle against alien entity but were hard pressed to defeat it. When Daibazaal was threatened by a massive transdimensional alien that emerged from the rift, Alfor introduced the lions to his fellow monarchs, Emperor Zarkon of Daibazaal, Lady Trigel of the Dalterion Belt, Blaytz of Nalquod and Gyrgan of Rygnirath, where they instantly bonded with the Red, Black, Green, Blue and Yellow Lions, and took on the mantle of Paladins.

Each lion embodies one of five elemental forces: water, land, fire, sky, and forest. King Alfor brought the comet back to Altea, where he began experimenting on it in his lab, creating five robotic ships in the form of lions. In the beginning, a comet composed of trans-dimensional properties crashed on planet Daibazaal, creating an interdimensional rift into another reality.
