"This way! To the edge of the forest!" Ryner said. Lance and Keith are in the nanocellulose with me, and Hunk and Shiro are in Pidge's, as they couldn't get one down. We stopped at the edge, hiding, were there are tall buildings.
"Their headquarters are impossible to reach from the ground. But there is a small opening on the roof. It goes all the way to the courtyard." Ryner said and pointed at the tallest building.
"That's quite a drop." Keith said.
"But there you will have total access to the building. The hard part will be getting there undetected."
"That won't be a problem." Shiro said, when Hunk suddenly spoke up.
"What's that? Is that part of the building?" Hunk wasn't in my nanocellulose so I kinda had to guess what he was talking about, and I'm guessing he's talking about what looks like a giant version of Coran's repeating cube.
"My Lubos! It can't be!"
"It looks like Coran's cube." Pidge said, I glanced at the screen where I can see Pidge and Hunk.
"I haven't seen one of those in many decafeebs. We used to play with them as children. But, only king Lubos could have made one this size." Ryner said.
"Why would he do that?" I asked, looking at the other screen that showed her.
"They must have forced him to reveal his designs and remake it into a weapon. From the looks of it, I'd say it's almost finished."
"We need to act fast. Everyone back to base, I have a plan."
~~~
After Shiro explained what our game plan was, we all got inside the green lion, and since it was the only one with cloaking abilities. Pidge opened the hatch and me, Lance, Keith, Hunk and Shiro all dropped down, turning on our jetpacks for a soft landing in the courtyard. Shiro placed down the sensor that we are using to detect any Olkari in the building.
Shiro motioned us to move and we ran down a hallway. We stopped and I could hear Galra walking down. I got out my bayard,just in case, I heard Keith do the same. The Galra walked by and we ran down the hall and stopped at a door. I could hear moaning and sobbing from inside. We slid open the door and....wait.

Why is he watching a movie, and surrounded by food? Isn't he supposed to be held hostage?
"King Lubos?" Shiro asked as we walked out our little hiding spot.
"Yes? Are you the jesters I requested." He said while wiping away his tears the movie caused him.
"We're here to rescue you?" Lance said, though it sounded more like he asked. King Lubos frowned and pushed a button on his chair. Alarms blared, a wall lifted up to reveal Galra soldiers and another buff looking Galra, who looks like he's in charge.
"You could have just said no."
"Looks like some one came to rescue you." The Galra said while smirking.
"You turned your back on your own people to save your own skin." Shiro said while glaring at Lubos.
"I'm doing this for my people! They wanted to fight, but the Galra is too powerful! They would destroy us."
"So you helped enslave your people to build a super weapon?" I said and tightened my grip on my bayard. I heard Keith shift beside me.
"He made me do it!" Lubos said and pointed to the Galra.
"Did he force feed you too?" Lance asked.
"Your no king." Keith said. He then ran forward and grabbed Lubos, holding his bayard to his neck. We all looked at him in shock.
"We're walking out of here. Any of you stop us and Lubos gets it"
"Whoa Keith!"
"That came out of nowhere!"
"Korra, control your boyfriend!"
"I'm not in charge of him!"
"What are you doing?" Lubos asked a Olkari who was in the room. He was the one who shoved Lubos towards Keith.
"You betrayed our people. I can't live this lie anymore."
"You don't want me to hurt your genius engineer right?" Keith asked the Galra soldier.
"Be my guest. His work is done. The cube is complete."
"What? But I thought we had a deal!" Lubos stammered out.
"Guards put them out of their misery." Before they could even move a big blue beam came through the building.
"Your ride is here!" I turned to see the green lion from a giant hole in the building. We all jumped out and landed on the shield on the lions back. A loud boom was heard and we turned to see the cube starting to lift into the air.
"The cube is operational! We have to get back to the lions and form Voltron!"
~~~
Back at the camp, Keith tossed Lubos to the ground. The Olkari started whispering to each other.
"What's going on?" Ryner asked.
"While you all starved, King Lubos was well taken care over by the Galra. He willingly helped them build that cube, helped enslave his own people." Gasps was heard through out all of the Olkari. Shiro continued. "I know you're devastated but it's time to be strong, fight a long side Voltron and take back your planet!" The Olkari stayed silent. Ryner looked at the king in disappointment.
"Lubos how could you?"
"I...I was only trying to.."
"Enough!" Ryner suddenly said, making me jump. "We must free our people!" Ryner said. The Olkari cheered.
*Dun dun dun dun dun duun duuun dun duuuun (that's the theme song of the Voltron form scene I think)*
"Alright team, let's take this thing down!" Shiro said as we stared at the cube. On the cube, a beam suddenly came from one side and started shooting at us, and kept shooting as we flew.
"Form shield!" The beams hit the shield as we flew towards it.
"Let's see how tough this magic cube is." Keith said and shot a laser at it. Only for the cube to shoot back with similar looking beams.
"Did it just absorb out lasers?"
"We need to increase fire power, Hunk use your blaster!"
"I'm not sure this is a good idea." I started to say but Hunk talked over me.
"Got it!" The shoulder canon came out and shot at the cube.
"Yeah, I think it's working!" Then the cube shot back the same laser.
"It's giving back what ever we give it. It's like Coran's cube."
"That's what me and Korra was trying to tell you, it's learning!"
"It's making versions of our weapons to use against us!" I finished, feeling slightly happy that Pidge included me.
"We can't just stand here we got to move." Oh yeah we're still being hit by a laser, man this is a really long beam. (I accidentally typed bean and laughed for a solid 5 minutes, I'm sorry I should be asleep.)
We moved only for the beam to hit Voltron and send us sprawling on the ground. We got up and moved just in time to miss a laser from the cube.
"Maybe if we form the sword we can cut through the surface and hack right into the center thinking place?" Lance said as we flew over trees.
"Can't be any worse than what's happening now."
"Let's do it. Form sword!" Avoiding the lasers, we flew over to the cube and successfully cut the cube in half.
"It's working!"
"Sill operational, reengage!" We cut the two half's in half.
"They're going down!" The four cubes then lit up and flew towards us.
"Uh-oh." The four pieces shot at us.
"We gotta move!" We flew up while trying to avoid the beams. A cube piece appeared in front of us, we put up the shield just in time. Then we got shot in the back.
"We can't fight them like this. We need to split up, everyone back into lions." Shiro ordered. We split up into your individual lions. Lance tried to freeze the cubes, only for them to shoot back a freeze beam like his.
"Shiro what do we do?" Hunk asked. I had to barrel roll to avoid a laser.
"There doesn't seem to be anyway to stop them. But we can't let this weapon get in Zarkon's hands." I heard Pidge scream and I turned in time to see her get shot by two cubes and her lion go down.
"Pidge!"
"Pidge are you okay?" I asked. I never got an answer. We kept moving to avoid being knocked down. Eventually the cubes learned to shock our lions and it knocked our lions to the ground. I groaned and tried to get the alarms in my lion to stop.
"Korra." My hand stopped. Who was that.
"It's me." Oh my god. My lion is talking to me.
"This won't stop the cubes, but it will hold them off until the green lion comes." A red button popped up. I stared at the button.
"Korra move!" I looked up to see a cube flying towards my lion, I quickly moved out of the way."
"Alright guys I'm going to if this works."
"If what works?" I ignored Lance and slammed my hand down on the button. The pink lion's jaw opened wide. Wind blew out like a small tornado and surrounded the cubes, making them spin and be confused.
"Nice." But as quick as it came, the wind went away and the cubes flew back towards us. I go to push the button again but stopped.
"Hang on guys!"
"Pidge!" The green lion flew quickly towards the cubes.
"Pidge, what's going on your booking it!"
"I don't know! But I feel more connected with my lion then ever, I know what to do!" The green lion shot out a green beam. The cube absorbed it, vines popped out and the cube stopped working.
"Whoa, how'd you do that?"
"Get some of this!" Pidge said and shot the rest of the cubes making them all fall to the ground.
"Vines. That is not how I thought a giant cube of death would go down."
"Korra helped too, with that little tornado move her lion did." Keith said, making me blush a bit.
"Oh yeah, great job holding them off." Shiro said.
"I was just doing what my lion told me to do."
~~~
"I want to thank you all. You got us our home back, for that we will never be able to repay you." Ryner said. The Olkari managed to defeat most of the Galra, and they retreated.
"Just promise when it's time to fight Zarkon we can count on the Olkari for help." Shiro said. Ryner shook his hand.
"Now and forever." Ryner began to talk to Pidge but I tuned them out when Keith put his arm around my shoulders.
"Nice job out there." He said, I smiled up at him and kissed his cheek, making him blush.
~~~
"Nice job put there Pidge." Shiro said, once we were all back on the castle ship.
"You know it's weird. I've always been a tech junkie. That's how I connected with the world. But for the first time, I feel connected to everything. I guess it's like Ryner said, we're all made up of the same cosmic dust." She said.
"So, that means we're all related. This ship, those stars, the Olkari. Even the Galra." Keith said.
"Uh-oh, I think Keith just blew his own mind." Hunk said. We all laughed.
"Wait, if we're all related. Keith, you're dating your cousin!"
"Lance!" I said, I don't want to think about it like that.
"Well that was a productive trip. Look at these cubes they gave me!" Coran said and tossed a cube in the air, multiple little cubes came out.
"Coran Coran the gorgeous man!"
"Coran Coran the gorgeous man!"
"Ah, sounds pretty good."
"Ah, sounds pretty good." Hunk made a farting noise and the cubes repeated it making him laugh. I've never seen Shiro look so done. Alarms suddenly went off.
"What's that?"
"What's that?"  The cubes repeated Coran. Zarkon's ship flew up to us, with hundreds of small fighter ships.
"Oh, no."
"Oh, no."
