Yadle, an unattended colony-planet of Zarkon's, declares itself independent and prepares to celebrate along with its allies, the Voltron Force. Haggar creates a Voltron look-alike to subdue its people with Lotor's guards before it will be used to attack the real robot. A young friend named Bobby goes to guide the Voltron Force to Yadle to get through Zarkon's magnetic field. However, they have yet to be warned that they are awaited by a robot that has all their powers and the ability to know what maneuvers they will perform even before they carry them out.

Haggar and Lotor send a group of poisoned seeds to Arus which produce handsome plants - which weaken all who pick them for their beauty. Coran and the Voltron Force learn that an antidote is available through a crop of flowers on the magnetically-surrounded Planet Lyra. Allura suggests the underwater-dwelling Blue Lion could fly there since its being used to water would let it through the magnetic field, but she too sickens from a group of the flowers and Lance goes out instead. With the help of a young Lyran named Farla, he tries to get King Mac's permission to harvest some of the plants, but Lotor is waiting with him. He plans to take the plants himself and hold ARus ransom for the sake of their ruler, especially since he knows one of the Voltron Force is dying and another must get past him. Lance loses a duel to him and falls from an infamous wall into a river, but escapes to the Blue Lion, where he must somehow stop Lotor from ruining the crop except for what he'll steal so only he can heal Allura at the cost of Arus - or anyone else.

Zarkon decides to have Lotor wed Princess Koral of Demos to unite a similar empire with Doom and she is eager, but Lotor still wants only Allura. Given a sole chance to take what he wishes on his own, he turns to Haggar, who offers him a blade that will put anyone whom it grazes into a coma, mistaken by all others for death. Haggar's cat scrapes Allura with it, and she instantly falls unconscious for hours before appearing to pass away before her friends' eyes. Everyone grieves, but Keith realizes that Lotor would not kill Allura so all must not be as it seems. The four, knowing that Haggar will be responsible for reawakening her after Allura's people bid her goodbye, decide to keep this to themselves as a secret and go ahead with the planned funeral. They try to follow the hearse out, but Haggar causes an accident which makes the driver lose control of the horses. Only Pidge is able to reach it after Lotor has taken it over, and by the time the others fly out to help prepares an attack with Haggar. Pidge is determined to do whatever it takes to save Allura, but thanks to Haggar it may cost someone else's life...

The Voltron Force and their allies prepare to take down Castle Doom, the last of Lotor's defenses. But Voltron is nearly destroyed before they can actually land, until Coran pilots the Castle of Lions in its spaceship form to support them. With Haggar having parted ways with him, Lotor's downfall seems definite. But in trying to make certain that his tyranny will never rise again, Sven is drawn into a trap. He is held at ransom, to the horror of all his friends, and has the seemingly impossible job of trying to find a way to stop Lotor from melting their beloved robot before their eyes.

Haggar creates many miniature-robots disguised as tadpoles to invade Arus since they will thrive in water which Voltron would otherwise not wish to enter. Two siblings collect some to study at home with Pidge's help, and he takes some himself. That night, a group of mutant amphibian-like creatures attack a ship and the children's home. Though they easily destroy the ones in the castle, the Voltron Force's attempt to destroy those out at sea proves more than the usual challenge when a larger robot arrives as well, and damages the Green Lion so Voltron also leaks when formed.

Haggar locates and takes control of the Omega Comet, a legendary black-hole-like structure which crushes and destroys anything in its path, and sends it for Arus. Though Voltron redirected it once after a decade of trying, the Voltron Force are forced to race against time to move it themselves after they get Romelle's warning. Seeing Allura's cousin's loyalty to them, Lotor mentions that a certain control-function will help them in front of Romelle, and she relays the information to them. But it was a trap Lotor had her lure them into, and they crash-land and are stranded upon the comet without power. The Galaxy Alliance can send no reinforcements thanks to Zarkon's fighting. But Bandor goes against orders to stop guarding the power-supply he was posted in front of to repay his comrades. The Voltron Force cannot escape, and conclude that Bandor must use his arsenal to strike the comet away from Arus - though they know it means self-sacrifice.

The one who approaches Romelle after her being forced into the Pit of Skulls is a young, wild-eyed man who warns her of the approaching guards that come down to ensure she is finished, and helps her into a passageway through a cave but then vehemently bids her leave him. She is able to identify him as Sven, but the former pilot of the Blue Lion has lost his faith in himself, feeling remorse over his defeat by Haggar and his inability to aid Planet Ebb when it was attacked when he was hospitalized, and is nearly mad with grief after witnessing so many brutalities every day. Romelle tries to convince Sven to help her get off Doom and contact the Voltron Force so she can return to and defend Pollux as only she knows how, with the help of a group of slaves who are desperate for their own freedom and could be what they need to help them escape...

Princess Allura puts the whole team in jeopardy when she tries to pilot the Black Lion without permission. Seeing no way to make it up to her friends, she surrenders herself to Prince Lotor in exchange for the freedom of Planet Arus. Enchanted by her beauty, Lotor accepts. But Keith and the Voltron Force have a plan of their own.
Wed, Oct 31, 1984
When Zarkon denies Lotor the power of his whole army to attack Arus, Lotor tries to take his power from him by besting him in combat, but fails and acts humble enough to have his life spared. Haggar convinces them to put aside their personal disagreement for the moment since she reveals she's built a Robeast with a frame slightly resembling Voltron's and directed by a robot pilot to conquer Arus. Arus' defense-system is destroyed just after it shows what approaches, and the Voltron Force discover their opponent will not easily be beaten. Voltron is forced to fight while growing weaker and weaker as he is damaged by the strong machine, and the Blue Lion that is the main power-source as his Right Leg faces possible destruction.
