Normally, after a long and hard mission, you'd go back to the castle and sleep. Either in your room or on the bridge in one of their chairs. Not this time. Nope. Right after you narrowly stopped Lotor from getting the teledav, it hadn't even been ten minutes before an alarm began blaring all throughout the castle.

"Oh, what now?" Lance asked, begrudgingly standing on the bridge. Allura checked the alarm.

"It's a distress signal," Allura said, pinpointing its location on the map.

"Where from?" Pidge asked. The blueprint of a planet popped up.

"It's from..." Her eyes landed on you. "Glacies." Everyone fell silent when you looked up at the screen, jaw hanging open.

"Okay... WHAT?!" You screeched.

"How is that possible? I thought everyone on Glacies died," Keith said.

"Well, fuckin thanks, Keith," you flatly said, deadpanning at him.

"I do not know. Y/n." Allura turned to look at you. "This is your planet we're talking about. Should we go?" You bit your thumb, thinking for a solid second.

"Let's go check it out," you finalized.

"Alright. Putting in Glacies coordinates now," Coran called. Everyone sat down in their respective seats while you stood.

"What do you think it is?" Hunk asked, looking over to you. You shrugged lightly.

"Beats me. Let's hope this isn't a trap," you replied, crossing your arms. Allura opened a wormhole and the castle jumped thorugh it. In front of you was your old home planet.

"Keep the castle in the planet's atmosphere. Just in case we need a quick escape," Shiro ordered.

You and the Paladins left the castle to Coran, and landed on Glacies. When you had come to the planet's surface, you were flying over a large forest that covered more than 25% of the surface of Glacies.

"Is this where the distress signal came from?" You asked, looking around.

"Yes," Allura replied. The lions landed on the ground next to each other, and they exited out of them. The forest itself was dense. Thick trees stood tall in front of you. It was darker in there, thanks to the thick branches blocking out any natural light.

"Do you know where you're going?" Keith asked you, staying tight to your figure, as did everyone else.

"Oh man, I hope so. This forest's creeping me out. No offense," Hunk said, sending you a nervous smile at the end. You waved him off, walking deeper into the forest.

"I know where I'm going..." You trailed off, halting to a stop.

"What is it?" Allura asked. You squated down to the ground to look at the snow.

"Footprints," you said.

"What? So someone's actually here?" Lance asked, his eyes popping out of his skull. A tingling sensation went down your spine.

"I sense them!" You exclaimed, taking off from your position and running into the forest.

"Hey! Wait up!" Lance called, running to catch up to you. The others followed suit, not wanting to be left alone in the woods. You weaved through different trees and bushes, plowing through the thick snow. You burst through a thick bush, sending snow everywhere. There, in front of you, was a small abandoned village filled with seven or so small huts.

You emerged from the bush and walked out into the open, looking around.

"Y/n! You can't just take off like that!" Keith exclaimed to you, being the first one to exit the forest.

"Sorry, sorry," you replied as the others arrived.

"What is it? Did you see someone? Please tell me we're not being followed," Hunk asked, looking around. You walked down the trail and into the small village, looking around.

"That's odd. I smell smoke," Allura commented from behind the group.

"Yeah, it's like someone made a fire," Lance added on. The six of you looked around.

"I smell it too," Pidge agreed.

"It's cause I made it."
You all snapped your heads up to a rooftop and saw someone sitting casually on it.

Edit: Okay ngl, she's kinda hot--

"Who are you?" Keith asked, taking a step forward. The woman's lips stretched into a smirk. One that you recognized.

"Me? My name is Shivv."

"Shivv? Like the person that Hira was talking about?" Allura asked. Shivv let out a light chuckle, her different colored blue eyes widening in fascination.

"Oh? So you met little Miss Hira? She couldn't figure her way out of a locked room." Shivv let out a breath, fog emanating from her mouth. Almost as is she was mimicking smoking.

"How do you know each other?" Pidge asked, gazing up at her in both curiosity and caution. Shivv gazed in Pidge's direction, sending chills down her spine.

"Because I'm originally from that reality."

"What?" Immediate exclaims rang out through the air.

"If you're not from this reality then how are you here?" Pidge asked. Shivv switched positions so that she was leaning on one leg.

"Because much like your little anomaly friend there..." She pointed at you. "I, too, am a trans-reality comet experiment." The group went silent, only staring at her in shock.

"Then... that means..." Hunk trailed off. Shivv smiled widely, her eyes taking on an ominous glow.

"I'm the alternate version of little miss Y/n over there."
Everyone turned to you in shock, their eyes wide.

"But why are you here? Is there something you want?" Lance asked, turning his attention back to Shivv.

"That reality is so boring, now. With the Alteans ruling everything, the battles stopped. I came here because I know the Galra are still in command. I also know..." Her gaze slid over to you, her tongue swiping over her lips. "That my other reality counterpart was here."

"Wait... you're not gonna fight her, are you? Because we sorta need her in the fight against the Galra, so..." Hunk trailed off nervously. Shivv laughed, her head bowing forward.

"Oh sweetheart... I planned to fight her regardless of whether she was with you or not," Shivv replied with an indifferent shrug.

"Well you're out of luck. Y/n isn't fighting anyone today or ever," Keith said, standing in front of you. Shivv whistled, impressed, and offended.

"Ooh my... that's unfortunate for you. I'll attack her even if she isn't willing to fight me." Shivv shook her head, almost as if she was pitying you.

"By fight, what do you mean?" Allura asked. Shivv smiled at Allura, though there was no niceness in it.

"I'm talking about a death match, sweetie."

Ja ne!
