"I'll stay here and take care of Lance," you stated.

"I'll stay with Y/n," Shiro added.

"Be careful. Who knows what she might do now," Allura hissed, turning to run out of the room. Keith and Shiro turned to look at you, but you just shrugged, just as confused as they are. P/n yipped and pawed at Lance's hand. Keith followed after Allura.

"Y/n, do you know what's wrong with Allura?" Shiro asked. You sighed, pursing your lips.

"I might have an idea."

You were carrying Lance on your back, walking behind Shiro.

"Hang on Lance. Help is coming," you said to him. Shiro suddenly stopped. You stopped next to him and saw sentries, along with Sendak, walking towards the castle.

"Oh lord..." You muttered.

"Y/n, stay back and take care of Lance," Shiro ordered. You nodded and walked over to the wall, gently laying Lance down with you covering him with your body, never taking your eyes off Sendak. P/n growled from near your legs and took off into back into the castle.

"P/n!" You called out.

"Stand aside," Sendak ordered. You put your attention on him again.

"No. You're not getting in," Shiro replied, hardening his prosthetic hand. It glowed a bright purple.

"Yes, I am," Sendak threatened, elongating his own prosthetic arm and grabbing Shiro, dragging him on the ground towards him. He lifted up his big ass hand and slammed it down. Shiro jumped out of the way and charged at him. Now it was a battle of prosthetic arms. Suddenly, Shiro was pushed backwards all the way to where you were.

"Shiro!" You exclaimed.

"Stay out of this, Y/n!" He ordered. A hand then came flying down where Shiro was. You blocked Lance from the flying debris and dust. Sendak pulled himself into the castle like batman and landed right behind you.

"It's finally good to see your face in person," he said. You growled.

"Stay away from us," you growled, but he just kept walking forwards. Your blue eye began to glow brightly.

"I said, STAY AWAY!" You shouted, ice spikes shooting up from the ground. Sendak jumped away from them and tried to destroy one, but he was punched away from you by a rounded piece of ice. The spikes slowly descended back into the ground. 

Shiro and Sendak then had each other in the palm of their hand. All they had to do was move and their opponent was dead. You then felt something press up against the back of your head.

"Let him go. Or your friend won't make it."

'Haxus...' You thought. The sentries that accompanied him were pointing their guns at you. One wrong move and boom. You're dead. Shiro was distracted long enough that Sendak knocked him closer to where you and Lance were.

"Shiro!" You called out. You glared at Sendak with all your might. Your power itching to explode.

"We hit two birds with one stone. Voltron is ours, and so is Y/n," Sendak said. You growled and pulled Lance closer to you.

"What do you want already?" You asked. A crystal floated past you. They hooked it up to the castle and powered it up.

"No..." You gasped.

"See? Isn't it easier to let your good side go and let your inner self be released?" Sendak asked, walking closer to you. Lance was suddenly pulled out of your arms.

"Hey—!" You growled, but Haxus just placed a gun to his head as the sentries cuffed him and Shiro. You were suddenly cuffed as well.

"Considering Emperor Zarkon would have my head if I hurt you, I'd figured it'd be better if you hurt yourself. Those cuffs are designed specifically for you. If you attempt to use any of your powers, you'll get a slight shock," Sendak said, grinning like a cat. You growled and glared at him with such hatred it made Haxus shiver.

"Make contact with Emperor Zarkon," Sendak ordered. Haxus complied and pressed some buttons. A screen popped up and Zarkon's face appeared on it.

"Sendak," He greeted, his voice as dark and raspy as it was in your dream.

"My mission is complete. I've captured the Altean Castle, the Voltron lions, and Y/n. I am currently preparing for launch and will be delivering them all to you shortly," Sendak reported.

"This news is most pleasing. You have done your duty. I shall see you soon, dear Y/n. Vrepit Sa!" Zarkon replied.

"Vrepit Sa!" The screen disappeared. "Haxus, ready the castle for takeoff."

"Yes, commander," Haxus replied.

"Shiro? Lance?" You called out, nudging both of them, but all you got in return was groans. You heard soft yipping and turned your head to the entrance. P/n was standing in the shadows. She kicked a small box over to you. You turned around and opened it with your hands behind your back, feeling it.

'This is...' You thought. You looked at her and nodded, sliding the box back over to her. She took the box in her mouth and ran. The castle then began to shake.

'Shit balls... it's taking off!' You thought, jiggling the cuffs around, trying to figure out how to unlock them. Then suddenly, the shaking stopped.

"Commander, the main engine just shorted out," Haxus said. Sendak walked up next to Haxus and pulled up a screen. There, you saw Pidge leave the main control room.

'Oh thank god.' You thought.

"We have a saboteur. Find him and take him out," Sendak ordered.

'What?!' You thought. You looked down at the cuffs and clenched your jaw tighter.

'Dammit! I can't get loose.' You thought, frustrated. You heard groans and saw Shiro finally waking up.

"Shiro!" You whispered. He rose to his knees and looked at you.

"Y/n? What happened?" He murmured.

"Sendak has taken over the castle and plans to launch it," you briefed.

"Haxus!" Sendak's voice cut in, "I want whoever's in this ship found and terminated!"

"Commander Sendak. I've received a transmission generating from somewhere inside," Haxus said.

"There's not much time before they get the ship running again. You must shut off the particle barrier so we can get in."
Your eyes widened.

"Allura," you whispered.

"You got it. Tell me what to do."

'Pidge...' You thought.

"The particle barrier generator is beneath the main hull."

"She's telling the intruder how to take down our defenses," Haxus said.

"Yes, but she's also giving away his location. Find that room. Kill the Paladin," Sendak ordered the sentries. The sentries did as told and walked out of the room. "Repair the engine. Emperor Zarkon has commanded us to hand him Voltron and Y/n. This ship will rise before day's end."

"Huh? Why would Zarkon want you?" Shiro asked you. You looked at him from your peripheral vision.

"He... I can't explain it," you replied.

Ja ne!
