"Alright team, listen up," Shiro called out, gathering everyone's attention. "Our objective is clear. We need to strike swiftly and decisively to neutralize the Galra forces in Naxzela. Romelle, I want you to lead a ground assault with your Altean soldiers. Your knowledge of the terrain and the enemy's defenses will be invaluable."

Romelle nodded, determination shining in her eyes. "You can count on me, Shiro. We will reclaim Naxzela."

Pidge chimed in, excitement evident in their voice. "And while Romelle's forces attack head-on, I'll use my technical skills to hack into their communication network and disrupt their ability to call for reinforcements. We need to cut them off from Galra Headquarters before their backup arrives."

Hunk eagerly joined in. "Once Romelle's team engages the Galra, I'll provide cover fire and create diversions with my versatile arsenal of weapons. My goal will be to keep the Galra forces occupied and disoriented."

Kolivan stepped forward, his voice steady and determined. "My Blades will infiltrate the Galra stronghold from various entry points and unleash chaos from within. Our objective is to eliminate high-ranking Galra officers and cripple their command structure."

Giyu nodded in agreement beside Kolivan. "I will lead a select group of skilled fighters to support the Blades' mission. With our expertise in covert operations, we can disable critical Galra defenses and provide assistance where needed."

Shiro looked around at his team, a sense of pride swelling within him. "This is it, everyone. Remember, our united efforts and precise execution will be the key to success. We go in, we neutralize the enemy, and we show the Galra that their grip on Naxzela is coming to an end. Let's move out!"

With renewed determination, the team dispersed, preparing themselves for the upcoming assault on Naxzela. They knew the odds were against them, but their unwavering resolve and coordinated efforts would be the catalyst for change in the Galra Empire.

In the meantime with Lotor.

"Ezor, Acxa, set a course for the coordinates I'm sending you," Lotor commanded, his voice tinged with urgency.

"Where are we going?" Ezor questioned, curiosity evident in her voice.

"Just do as I say," Lotor replied, his tone firm and resolute. There was a sense of determination burning within him.

"Ezor, what are you doing?" Acxa interjected, her voice laced with concern.

"Securing communications to make sure Lotor can't hear us," Ezor answered, her voice lowering as she spoke. "Zarkon called him a criminal. Lotor's on the run. As his generals, that means we..."

"We must trust Lotor," Acxa interrupted, a quiet determination in her words. Her loyalty to Lotor was unwavering.

"What about Narti? She trusted him. You saw where that got her," Ezor argued, a hint of skepticism coloring her voice.

Acxa's voice softened, her words filled with conviction. "Enough. Lotor will protect us. He has proven himself time and again. We must have faith in him, just as Narti did."

Ezor fell silent, contemplating Acxa's words. The decision weighed heavily on her, unsure of the path they were embarking on. But ultimately, she knew that their destinies were intertwined with Lotor's. Together, they had fought for a different vision for the Galra Empire, and they had to put their trust in their leader, even in uncertain times.

"All right, everyone, it's time to gather the coalition. Friends and allies from across the universe must come together to take on the Galra. With their help, we'll have a chance to turn the tides of this war," Shiro declared, his voice filled with unwavering determination. The weight of their mission rested upon his shoulders, but he knew he couldn't face it alone.
