"Allura stay with the group!" Lance called as the blue lion was heading to the galra as shots were being fired at the blue lion but they all engaged when the first shot was made.

Allura flew at maximum speed at Lotors ship but he dodged the lion and flew the opposite way but Allura spun around and fired a beam that hit a large rock as Lotor flew up.

The generals came for the lions as the yellow, red, and green fought back as lance growled drawing an attack from hunk and shot back hitting one of his girls ships.

"Ezor please, you have to know this is stupid!" Lance snarled feeling adrenaline going through his blood.

"We have orders lance, as a general you should know," Zethrid shot back and lance ducked but hit hunk instead.

"Coran we need your help here! Please tell me you got the castle up and running!" Hunk called to the speakers of the castle.

"I'm working on it! Krolia get ready!" Corans voice replied.

Lance flew between the shots but pulled back and turned 180 to avoid getting hit but pidge wasn't as fast as the red lion as she got hit three times in the side.
Lance roared sending a shot back with the lions fire at the girls. Either way he'd be hurting people he cared about.
Only to get hit as well and grunted while his lion was shoved back.

"Don't worry guys I'm here!" Coran shouted happily. Suddenly the castle came from no where in the middle of the battle as everyone got out of the way of the ship as it just kept floating forward as one engine was able to work.

"Coran what's going on with the castle?" Lance asked confused as it didn't do anything but glide.

"Well we've got one of the engines working! Sooo I'm kind of learning to fly all over again," Coran explained nervously.

"Pidge, hunk, we stay together, Zethrid goes head on but Axca will take you by surprise, keep your eyes open," lance commanded and shoved the lever forward with a grunt.

"What about Allura!?" Pidge asked panicking.

"Forget about her, if she doesn't want to listen then she can have it bite her in the ass on her own," Lance glared as he couldn't stand that princess. It was her fault. It's always been her fault.

He just couldn't focus on that now, he had to fight still.

Allura sent rapid fire at Lotors ship as he easily avoided the sloppy attacks out of rage and no strategy. He pulled his control back and shot at her trying to take out the royal thorn in his side.

"Once I wipe out voltron I'm going to start a new Alteans! A new altea that will never know of Princess Allura or king alfor!" Lotor snarled at her as he focused his attacks on her.

"Nor will they know of the lions of voltron, all they will know is me, their great leader!" He roared shooting mercilessly. A laughter bubbled in his chest, something cruel and unwelcoming that escaped him. Something devouring his mind like a dark entity.

"I'm ready to wipe the universe clean of all my enemies! Voltron, Hagar, and the rest of the galra!"

All four generals froze.

"Hagar?" Lance blinked. "The galra?" That... that didn't make sense... Lotor wanted to unite the alteans and galra.

"I think it's time to sever our ties with Lotor for good," Axca said calmly as she looked down.

"Disengage from the battle, follow my lead, lance... your welcome to come, we never wanted to battle you my friend," she sighed softly at him as lance bit his lip.

"I have a responsibility here, I hope we meet again... my friends," lance pursed his lips inhaled deeply.

The girls departed from the fight as they left the lions alone and went the opposite way as Zethrid and ezor followed Axca.

"First my love, and now even my generals betray me, I should've known," Lotor spat and pressed a button and scanned his hand turning the girls screens red. Soon their own ships shot them out of their chairs and into space.

They all watched as Lotors ships of four soon became one, another weapon machine. One as powerful as voltron as it was united.

"What is that fucking thing?!" Hunk yelled.

"He created his own voltron..." lance breathed wide eyes.

"That is why he was using me, I helped him build it," Allura gulped. Out of everything, it was the only thing that would've made sense.

"Good new is, it's now four on one, maybe," Pidge felt her palms sweat.

"Axca, ezor, zethrid, go," Lance bit his lip.

The girls floated in space but activated their jet pacts as ezor felt tears run down her face as she looked back at the red lion, making their escape.

"Bye sharpshooter," she whispered. Not knowing when or if she'd see him again.

Lotor sat in his war machine alone as he gripped the controls at his side.

"This ends now," Lotor croaked with a glare.

The machines eyes sparked as within the second Lotor was at the lions and whipped Lances lion away without hesitation, a deep instinct still wanting to keep lance far from the battle, but grabbed the yellow lions tail and threw him to the side.

"He's fucking fast! Faster than us!" Pidge cried out as Lotor was already gone when she tried attacking him.

They saw from the side the castle charging up one shot and the lions heard Coran call for them when he shouted fire. But he hit Lotor square on as his weapon put up its arms to block the shot but it kept coming as a single beam shot.

But suddenly Lotor made an attack that shot the castles own beam straight into the ship.

"That's impossible, Lotors weapon has completely repelled the castles attack!" Pidge gasped looking at her screens.

"If he wasn't being a dick against us I would be so proud of how smart my boyfriend is," lance sighed sarcastically.

"Coran shoot the castles canon again," he got back in the battle shaking his head.

"I can't, that was our last shot," Coran gulped.

"Pidge get out of his line of sight!" The mix colored Paladin growled seeing there was no leader to help as Lotor attacked them back.

"He's locked onto me! I'm taking heavy fire!" Pidge gasped as she barely missed a shot.

"Get out of there! I'm coming!" Lance rushed in determined.

"Lance!" Hunk cried out.

"We can't take this much longer!" Allura panted as Lotor shot the chest beam at her.

"Hold on!" Lance flew as fast as he could. "Hunk cover Allura, Pidge get out of the way!"

Suddenly lotor grabbed his lions tail and whipped lance out of the way only to slam his robotic fist into the blue lion instead.
It didn't take long for the lions to become defeated...

"It didn't have to be like this, but you've made your choice," Lotor looked down at the battle he won but seeing the red lion unmoving didn't make him feel victorious.

But a warning alarm echoed and suddenly the black lion snarled teleporting through Lotor and came around with large wings on its back.

"How does Keith do these things?" Lance gulped confused and out of breath.

"Hurry we don't have much time, on me. Form voltron!" Keith flew to them as the Paladins forced their lions up.

Lotor growled to himself seeing voltron formed, knowing the battle wasn't going to be as easy with all five together.
