A/N-sorry for the wait! I have no motivation whatsoever at the moment, but I didn't really want you guys to wait any longer.

Zanya smiled as he glided effortlessly across the ballroom floor, blending in with the shades of blue and gold worn by himself and the others dancing around him. He was only a child, but he didn't mind that he was dancing in ocean of adults. They only paid him the smallest smile and an occasional chuckle as he moved to the beat of the music.
The song changed abruptly. The fast, upbeat tune turned into a slower song, one that was meant for couples to dance to. Zanya sighed in defeat, disappointed that his dancing time would have to be cut short. He would ask Allura, but she had supposedly become "too mature" to dance with her younger brother. If she was so mature, why would she still steal food from the kitchens and blame it on him?
walking off the dance floor, Zanya made a beeline for the food tables. He quickly grabbed a plate, gaping at the platters full of the most exotic and delicious foods from around the Galaxy. Zanya's smile grew wide as he recognized a food item, a sweet Altean pastry. He quickly grabbed it and turned in the direction of the staircase, hoping he could sit on one of the steps.
"You seem to be having a nice time," Zanya's ear twitched at the familiar voice. Quickly putting on his politest smile, he turned to face the huge figure the stood before him.
"Who wouldn't be having a nice time? Celebrating a huge victory for Voltron and our galaxy is definitely something exciting!"
"I'm glad you show such loyalty to Voltron and our galaxy," spoke the Black Paladin, "you'd make a great King."
"Oh, thank you," Zanya spoke, "but I don't think I would do well as king if the Galaxy or Altea was in danger. My father is much better at that, plus, he has great friends like you that he can trust to help him!"
"Yes," Zarkon smiled at the Prince, "he definitely does.
Zanya woke up on the cold ground of the castle floors, next to an angry Shiro and an unconscious Lance.

Allura was absolutely terrified. And guilty. But mostly terrified. She had thought that it was a great idea to leave the castle doors WIDE OPEN, leaving them completely susceptible to attacks. It was her fault that Zanya, Shiro, Lance and Pidge were now stuck inside a castle without power with Sendak. What if any of them had gotten hurt? What if any of them were dead?
Allura tried to hope for the best as she and Keith raced toward the castle. They had both gone to help the Arusians, but the small natives' village had only been set on fire as a distraction, pulling Team Voltron away from the castle. Coran and Hunk had both ventured to find a new power source for the castle, meaning that they couldn't help.
"Look," Keith's voice suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts, "the castle's being powered back up!" Allura thought that was a sign to rejoice. That would mean Hunk and Coran had returned and driven the Galra out, right? Judging by Keith's worried tone, she figured that was not the case.
Allura was right. The usual friendly blue glow that usually lit the castle had been replaced with an ominous purple light. The only conclusion was that Sendak and his followers had taken control of the castle.
"Run faster," she yelled to her companion, "we have to help the others!" The Princess sprinted ahead of Keith, her worry for her brother and her friends fueling her. As she neared the castle entrance, Keith trailing behind her, she realized it was too late.
The hexagonal pattern of the castle's particle barrier, strange-looking in purple instead of blue, had began encircling the castle. Despite her speed, Allura would never make it in time. That's didn't mean she wouldn't try, though.
Pushing herself to go faster, she left Keith panting behind her. She was so close. She was almost there. She imagined her brother's relieved face as he saw her burst in to attack Sendak. She would take him down for what he's done.
Allura cried out in dismay as the particle barrier completely closed off the castle from the outside world.
