Trust me

chapter 8

"If it destroys planets what did it do to the paladins?'' I asked, multiple emotions swirling through me.

"Paladins, can you hear me?" Allura asked.

"Yes princess. We're alive." Shiro said weakly.

"Oh thank the ancients."

"Is Voltron operational."

"It's not working." Hunk said.

"I can't move my lion." Keith said.

"You've been hit with some kind of witchcraft that draws the quintessence out of you. you need to get out of there. Another blast like that and you may not survive." Coran said.

"Wait what's that?" Lance said as a door on Zarkons ship opened.

"You must get moving and remember your training. Remember all the battles you've been through."

"Voltrons still not responding."

"We must buy them more time. Get us closer. Divert all power to the weapon system." Allura ordered.

"What princess, we'll be defenseless." I said.

"It's the only way. Listen to me. You are true Paladins now. Connect with your lions and reach out to each other. This fight can not end now." Allura fires the giant laser at Zarkons robot thing. Zarkon puts up a shield reflecting the laser.Then the laser hits the castle, I put my hands in front of my face and scream along with Allura.

"NO!" is the last thing I hear before the power is knocked out and we're all unconscious.

I wake up floating. my vision is a little blurry, I blink a few times and things become clear.

"Ugh." I ground as I rub my head.

"Huh?" I hear and look over at Coran. "Princess." He says pushing off the wall floating over to Allura. "Are you alright princess?"

"I'm fine. How badly is the castle damaged?"

"Our power levels are decimated. Communication is down. We can't reach the paladins. I'm afraid we can't fight anymore." Coran informs us.

"We can not give up. Coran, you and Slav do what you can to get the castle functioning again. Kolivan, can you get me to the Komar?"

"It will be dangerous, but I know the way."

"You, Mika, and Antok come with me." I nodded and pushed myself to the dore. "We're going to have to attack the witch directly if we hope to stop that thing. Coran the bridge is yours."

"No you've been weakened by operating the teludav. You can't face Hagar directly."

"We don't have a choice." I say while floating out of the bridge.

We shoot out of the airlock flying straight for the Komar. I had put on my armor and a helmet before leaving. Kolivan let go of his speeder and it hit one of the floating platforms blowing it up. The Komar stopped as the other druids lost focus.

"Attack." Hagar ordered. Three druids attacked us. I fought one by myself. Antok does the same while Kolivan and Allura fight another one together. The Druid I'm fighting keeps teleporting away. I've noticed that he makes a sound when he teleports. I can use that to my advantage. I just need to get him close enough to A get a clean shot to throw my sword or B cut him.

"I had no idea the Galra were wimps, or is that just you? Cause you haven't done a damn thing! It's honestly pretty pathetic if you ask me." He started teleporting rapidly in a circle around me. I took off my helmet so I can use my ears better. I close my eyes and Grip my sword. 'There' I snapped my eyes open and swung around putting my sword out. He teleports right into my trap. "You fell for it. You really are pathetic." I said pulling the sword out and he evaporates. Antok is fighting a Druid when Hager uses magic injuring his arm. Then the druid blasts Antok from behind, killing him.

"Antok!" Kolivan shouted.

"No!" I shouted. I leap off the platform and onto the wall I then quickly jump off stabbing the druid that killed Antok, in the back. Allura gose and attacks Hagar while me and Kolivan fight another druid that decided to show up. Hagar attacked Allura but she absorbed the power. Allura then disperses the energy All around the room. I dodge an attack from the druid then Kolivan stabs the druid, killing him.

"Come on." Kolivan shouts at Allura. We get out of there and go back to the castle. I turn my head to see Voltron and Zarkon are still fighting. The power returns to Zarkons ship. There's a big explosion and Zarkons robot is distorted.

"I have Allura, Kolivan, and Mika. We need to go." Coran told the paladins. They separate into the lions but the black one doesn't move. Kieth and Pidge retrieve the black lion.

We all ran to the black lion Keith in front. We enter the cockpit but there's no one in there.

"Shiro?" Keith asks as we enter the empty cockpit.

"He's gone." Lance says. I put a hand on Keith's shoulder knowing the pain he must feel right now. It's no secret that Shiro and Kieth were close, I had noticed the bond when we went to the Blade of Marmoras headquarters. I looked at the empty seat, sadness overtaking me.
