“Put an end to the Squad of Voltron!” 

Zarkon yelled at the top of his lungs, slamming his fists on the throne’s armrests. He didn’t want to cut the link just yet. He was able to connect with the Black Lion for so long, yet enough, he wouldn’t let go of the energy either. 

The female humans were grasping each other’s hands tightly to keep their focus. Their eyes met the astral lions surrounding their position. Under them, once again, the paladins of old were doing the same. Each lion’s eyes lit up with their iconic yellow hue, surprising the girls. 

They thought only the paladins of the new generation would face them, but it turned out they also had their own destiny written to be a part of their lives as well. Their eyes flicked around when they suddenly heard something in their heads. 

“Are you hearing this, guys? It’s like..” Roe trailed off as she placed her hand near her ear.

“Yeah.” Clara concluded. 

“They are on our side.” Leila said happily.

Nakia closed her eyes and focused focused, a smile graced her lips as she gripped their hands. “Let’s align the stars to beat this guy up and help the others.” 

“YEAH!” The three cheered in unison.

Watching the alien symbols starting to light up, Mondaine’s eyes widen slightly. It was not only intriguing the chieftain but also the oncoming monster walking slowly. Mondaine approached the group, watching their quintessence gathering in the air slowly building a pillar of light. It was part of Zarkon’s plan, gathering the most energy possible to make their planet suffer and sacrifice the only connection they had left with the newly formed paladins within the Altean princess’s hands. 

“Humans! Be aware of what you are about to unleash. This is what Zarkon wants. Make sure you have the right timing to get rid of this beast in the most careful way possible.”

Hearing the voice of the tribe leader, they knew they had to make it up fast. Within a moment, their heads began to ring hard. Like a hammer slamming on a shield, they felt the energy rupture instantly. Their bodies were fine, except only one. Checking each other, they were ejected from the field of energy. 

Their eyes opened in shock. A few droplets of blood fell on the ground. Looking up from her position, Nakia smiled awkwardly to her friends. Her vision was still doubling them in front of her. 

“Are you guys okay?” She asked. 

“This isn’t the time to take a hit for us, you idiot!” Clara yelled at her, nervous and annoyed. “Can’t you just let us-” 

“We do it together okay…” Nakia stopped her. “Remember, we are not made like Shiro, Hunk, Keith, Pidge and Lance to fight a robeast… yet. We have to pay time and taking care of the monster in the safest way is to gather the energy we need to fight back with our own strength.” 

“But-” Leila was about to say Roe blocked her. 

“I know you are using your power to help us out. Remember you are not alone with this. If we have to pass  through this event right now, we do it together until the reinforcement arrives…”

Taking each other’s hands again, they closed their eyes as the barrier built up again. The robeast slammed again on the barrier. They grunted all together, but they didn’t budge. 

“No matter what it takes…” They thought in unison, lifting their heads towards the night sky where the spiritual lions did the same and let out a roar of all their might. Taking their turn to fly off into the air. Opening their eyes shining with quintessence, they observed the lions taking the form of the icon of the paladins; Astral Legacy of Voltron.

Taking the spiritual blaze sword out, Astral Voltron took a step forward to push back the robeast with ease. It didn’t give any opportunity to the robeast to retaliate against it. 

Squeezing each other’s hands, their energy transferred to their protector to fight more brutally against their enemy. The robeast tried to parry, only to fail by passing through the spirit. Making it another way around, it took this opportunity to smash the barrier that was keeping the girls secure once more . 

Mondaine was preoccupied with their tactic, but observed fully. His thoughts still circling around about their power source. How were they able to do so? “How…? Grandmother Trigel…” He whispered.

From the Castle of Lions, Allura was witnessing all of it on screen. The particle barrier was heavily hit with the barrage of the shot from the Galran ships around them, they needed to get through. Their only solution was to wait for the perfect opening.

“Princess, look!” Coran pointed out. The camera zoomed in, seeing the barrier cracking from the Demelvian mage’s effort to stay still. Typing on his holographic keyboard, Coran pressed a button, showing a new screen. 

“I may have found us a way in, everyone. Alfor, if you please!” Coran said as the AI’s face appeared on the reading of the castle and all the screens. 

Allura warned the lions to get back inside the castle, they were getting through the barrier in thirty ticks. Shiro acknowledged their decision and pulled back to the hangar along with the other paladins. 

“We are inside the castle, Princess! You may proceed.” He said from the screen in front of her. 

“Father!” Allura said along. Alfor’s AI pushed the castle forward going through the barrage of the firing of the Galra fleet. Many of them at their tail, they dangerously approached the planet’s edges. A warning made them taken apart as they saw the final smash against the barrier. 

The barrier shattered like a mirror, breaking the girls’ connection. the Astral Voltron disappeared and their bodies scattered across the land. This blow was enough to wound them. 

“NO WAY!” Pidge called. “The shot was too heavy for them to bare…!” 

—-

Zarkon’s camera zoomed in on the bodies of laying on the ground, barely moving. Each body scanned for any life left. To his demise, they were still alive, but heavily drained of energy. His chuckle echoed in the throne room. 

“This is real entertainment, unlike past decaphoebs.” His eyes darken as his radar picked up the presence of the Castle of Lions approaching the barrier. “You will be destroyed either way, Princess Allura. You do not stand a chance against their own creation–” 

As he saw the castleship go through, his voice rose suddenly: “HOW!?” 

Catching this off guard, Haggar looked from her emperor to the screen. It was impossible unless they had some connection with the program. 

—

The robeast observed the laying bodies on the ground. The crown lazer started to blaze slowly. Dazed by the noise-like explosion, the Squad noticed the Astral Voltron was nowhere to be seen. Their vision hadn’t cleared up, but they knew something bad was coming. 

“What’s going on now?” Leila said with her voice trembling. 

“Guys… I can’t see a thing…! All I see is your blurry figures..” Roe whined. 

“My ears feel like they literally exploded. Nakia? HEY!” 

Having taken the worst of the damage, she was laying unmoving. Clara moved herself quickly next to her, but her body ached badly. She nudged the mage, putting her ear near her mouth. 

“She is alive but her energy is dangerously low..–” 

“Not to break this occasion but the beam is coming RIGHT AT US!!!!!” Roe exclaimed as the laser passed through the blazed land, the water forcing it into fog. They waited for the embrace of the shot. 

It never came. A rumble, a water splash and five distinct lights. A shield before them; the real Voltron. It deflected the beam to the next mountain causing an explosion. 

“Come on Keith! Learn to aim!” Lance yelled in the com. 

“Shut your quiznak will you-?! I did it to help the Squad.” 

“HEY! Stop arguing! We still have to fight back!” 

“Nakia, Clara, Leila, Monroe. Do you copy?” Allura asked from the communication system. A few grunts in response made her sigh in relief. “I apologize for our sudden getaway. I promise to get back to you as soon as possible.” 

“Princess…” Clara smiled with a hint of sadness. “We are so glad you didn’t forget about us.” 

She helped the others up. Nakia was standing on her knees, they went on with it. 

“Please, let us use your strength once more to finish this fight. Voltron needs you, we need you all.” Allura demanded. 

Closing their eyes, gathering the right amount of energy, the Astral Voltron came in front of the robeast, catching it off guard. It looked behind them. Charging forward, Shiro let a charging yell. The girls did the same on their side while the two swords penetrated the robeast. 

The Astral Voltron disappeared as the wind picked up and the explosion of the final moments of the robeast arrived. The girls’ eyes met darkness soon after.

The hissing of the healing pod altered the auburn brunette. Her arm stretched out to Laneila using his healing on her forehead. “Morning.” She greeted everyone. 

“M– *yawn* morning…” Roe stretched letting her bones pop with a delighted humming. 

“I feel like a wreck. Let’s not try this spiritual stuff anymore… It messed with my brain a lot…” Clara complained as she sat on the ground. 

“Can I have ten more minutes?… I need my beauty sleep…” Leila sat groggily on the ground. 

“You sound like Lance.” Nakia commented. 

“She does.” Laneila added with hum. Leila shot him a glare. “You wouldn’t complain with the guards playing my sword—” 

“Nu-huh! Enough, shush!” Nakia blocked Laneila’s mouth. She stared at the girls. “Just don’t.” 

Hearing the doors opening behind them, they sat straighter to see the paladins coming in their casual wear. Hunk had some food in plates and quickly approached them. 

“We thought a good old Earth/Demelvian meal would put you girls back in order.” 

The girls looked at Allura with a concerned look. 

“Do not worry ladies, Mondaine’s planet was alright after our intervention.” Coran said playing with his mustache. “There is something you have shown us before we arrived. We were impressed with the union you pulled out. Your link just alone was the same as they form Voltron. Your very own version of it.” 

Checking each other slowly, they nodded and smiled. They giggled. It caught everyone in the same spirit and started to laugh in unison. 

—

Looking at the footage on repeat, Zarkon couldn’t believe mere humans destroyed his creation. They had tried to prevent their efforts for so long. Voltron won again. Getting up from his chair, he looked at Haggar. 

“Get ready for the next phase. Gather more quintessence from our next target so we can capture Voltron once and for all.” 

—

“Spirituality is the key..huh?” An unknown voice spoke as they approached the chieftain of the planet. 

Mondaine stood in front of the altar, where he turned towards the guest. 

“I should’ve known about their bond sooner.” He said. “Where will you be going now?” 

“I have matters to attend to back with the Blade of Marmora… I will be also getting ready for the next step. We won’t know what Zarkon will be able to pull off in the future.” 

“I hope to see you soon.” Mondaine said as the sun set, looking at the Castle of Lions leaving the planet. “Isias.”
