Destroying the fighters one by one alone was a new experience for you. You weren't being protected by a giant metal wolf anymore. You were vulnerable, out in the open, more susceptible to attacks. However, you were more free to go on the offense or defense. You didn't have to pull handles to take out fighters. Even with the four of you out there, you were still being somewhat overwhelmed.

"ARGH! I got fighters on my six and I can't shake 'em! Someone get them off my tail!" You heard Hunk exclaim. You destroyed a fighter before flying over to where the large Yellow Lion was.

"I'm coming in Hunk!" You exclaimed to him, sending a frozen blast to the fighters and freezing them before using your other hand to destroy them.

"Thanks Y/n! You're a life saver!" Hunk exclaimed, crying a little.

"Don't thank me yet. Even with me here, the amount of fighters is overwhelming. If we don't have the others get here fast, we're toast," you said, avoiding another ship's lasers and maneuvering around it to destroy it.

"Can't you make one of those giant magical orb things?" Hunk asked. You shook your head.

"Wish I could, but that's only to destroy a large amount of enemies in one shot. With so many fighters following you, you could be caught up in the blast," you replied, letting out a sharp breath of slight exhaustion.

"Oh great..."
You heard more explosions from behind you and turned around to see the red lion flying around and destroying ships. Your brows raised.

'... Lance?' You thought, halting your flight to stare at him. As you were gazing at him, a fighter flew towards you and shot at you, but your wing protected you and shot out spikes of ice with purple electricity coating it. They collided into the ship and caused it to explode.

'So Red accepted Lance?' You thought, continuing to fly around and destroy ships. The blue lion then appeared suddenly.

'Allura!? Wait WHAT!?' You thought, shocked. You turned towards Lotor's ship and saw it slowly turn around before going into hyper drive, followed by the fighters. Seems as if he was retreating. Heh. Little bitch.

'Lotor.' You thought, staring at where his ship previously was.

You stood inside the control room with Coran, your brain twisting and turning in thought.

'So Lotor is Zarkon's biological son? And he knew about my origin before me?' You kept thinking. What bullshit. The sudden beeping alerted you.

"Princess, the black lion is leaving the castle!" Coran warned. You pulled up a closer image of the black lion and your lips twitched in annoyance.

"Keith, where are you going?" You heard Allura ask.

"I put a tracker on Lotor's ship. Tell everyone to get their lions. We're going after 'em," Keith replied.

'This is a shitty idea.' You thought, taking a second to sigh. You once again turned and walked out of the control room to follow Keith.

~
You were flying alongside the lions, following after Keith who had the tracker's coordinates. You were so cute and small compared to the lions.

"Lotor's cruiser is on the other side of the planet. At our current rate of speed, we'll be within attack range in an hour," Pidge informed.

"Good. Hold formation," Keith ordered. From the corner of your eye you saw Allura accidentally slam into Hunk.

"Oh, apologies, Hunk!" She said quickly.

"Mm, is attacking right now such a good idea? You know, since not everyone is so great with their lions?" Hunk questioned, though it sounded like he was specifically talking about someone.

"Do you mean me, specifically?" Allura asked.

"You? No. No way, I didn't—I'm just simply pointing out that more than half of the team are in new lions. Maybe now's not a great time to bite off more than we can chew," Hunk clarified.

"You can blame our hot-headed leader for that one," Lance finally said, sounding sarcastic.

"First, you want me to lead, and then you complain about how I do it. Prince Lotor is the heir to the Galra throne—" Keith's gaze slipped over to you for a second. "—we could end his reign right now." Lance had flown down and in front of both Hunk and Allura.

"Allura, you doing okay in Blue?" Lance asked.

"I'm fine. I've been flying the castle for half my life. I just need a few ticks to adjust to the lion," Allura replied.

"Good... because we're going in," Keith cut in. You could see the ship, but it was still far away. "I'm detecting movement."

"So much for the element of surprise," Lance said sarcastically. One fighter exited out of the ship.

"It's just a single fighter. Where's the rest of them?" Hunk asked.

"Are you complaining?" You said after not talking that whole time. It startled him a little.

"Probably scrambling as we speak. Let's take it out," Keith ordered while speeding up his lion. You stayed back to observe the fighter. Lance accelerated, but rammed into Keith in the process.

"Lance, what are you doing?" Keith asked, recovering.

"Sorry! Red here is a lot faster than I'm used to... uh, where'd that fighter go?" Lance asked. You looked behind you to see the fighter flying past the lions, shooting its lasers at Keith and chasing him. Keith flew away.

'Something about that fighter is... off.' You thought, watching it chase Keith.

"I can't shake him. Someone get this guy off my tail," Keith said. Pidge, Hunk, and Allura flew past you to help assist him. They all shot their main laser at the fighter, but it just dodged them.

'Whoever's in there is skilled... it can't be a sentry...' You thought, watching the smoothness in the dodges. Allura's laser hit Keith square on the back.

"Allura!" Keith hissed.

"I'm sorry Keith!"

'Lotor...' You finally realized, your eyes narrowing. You took off and zoomed past the three of them before Keith. You knew Lotor had his eyes on you when he began shooting at you too. You fluently dodged all of the lasers and gave chase. Lightning crackled around your eye before it shot out of your fingers like a gun. Lotor had dodged it, but some of it merely scraped the side of it, causing it to explode immediately. You smirked, halting your movements. The fighter stopped moving as well and you could feel his stare on you.

"Is something... wrong, Prince Lotor?"
The ship shot at you again and began following you all through space, shooting at you from all angles. Your sword materialized in your hand and you turned around, deflecting the lasers with your anti-laser sword.

'Great name...' You thought.

"We can't just let Y/n handle him by herself! Keith, what should we do?" Pidge asked, noticing you flying around with that ship in tow.

"How about this: everyone, stay out of my way," Keith flew past everyone and shot the Black Lion's beam at the ship. Lotor had turned around and shot at him, now following him. You growled.

'Stupid Keith...' You thought. You watched Keith back off from Lotor when he out maneuvered him. The others joined his side and flew higher up in formation for Voltron... but nothing was happening.

'They're not synchronizing.' You thought with a sigh. Of course. The team is so out of balance right now, it's ridiculous. The fighter flew in front of them and shot more lasers, causing them to disperse out of the formation. L

otor looked back at the lions, a frown etched onto his features.

"How disappointing. It appears that the reality of Voltron does not live up to the legend," he spoke to himself. He then turned his head to you. "But she might." He smirked before flying away. You clenched your fists together, angered beyond anything. Within a flash, you appeared in everyone's field of view, your eyes glowing in anger.

"Uh oh..." Lance winced.

"What in the fuck was that!?" You exclaimed, "You let some downgraded Zarkon in here and beat you all the fuck up!"

"We know! We don't need you to lecture us!" Keith replied. Everyone stopped breathing as your electric gaze slid over to him. You knew he was under a lot of pressure, but that doesn't justify the fact that he was acting like an idiot.

"Oh, excuse me if I don't want your asses being blown away by some machine laser gun." Your gaze slid over the rest of them. "I love you all dearly, but pull your damn shit together. It's hard working as a cohesive group when three members have changed lions, I get that. However, if you're not willing to work out the kinks in the team, you're never going to get better... only worse." You looked each lion in their eyes.

"I'm following Lotor," you declared. You looked into the Black Lion's eyes. "Calm down first. I'll be where Lotor is. So don't worry about losing him." Without waiting for anyone to speak, you turned around and took off deep into space, following him. 

FUCK LOTOR'S SO HOT OHMYGOOOOOOOD

Edit: This notion still sounds, Lotor is still smokin hot

Ja ne!
