Voltron- Saving Them

21

"We'll be arriving at the Balmera soon. Liberating these Balmerans from Zarkon's grasp will not be easy," Allura told us.

"So, what's the plan? We go in there and just--pow, pow, pow! And free the prisoners?" Lance said, doing a dynamic finger gun motion with each 'pow'.

"What was that noise?" Keith asked, hand on his hip and a brow raised.

"Laser guns," Lance McFlirtsalot replied.

"No, Lance, I think you mean-- pekow ," Hunk begins as he continues to imitate laser cannons.

"That sounds like fireworks," Lance commented.

"Technically, they're more like-- ba-choo, ba-choo, ba-choo!" Pidge said, causing me to snicker.

"Sorry, but it's more like-- [imitates the Star Wars's laser gun sound]," I say, chuckling.

"OK, enough with the bad sound effects. Besides, it's more like-- blam, blam, blam!" Shiro adds in.

"What?" Keith yells, uncrossing his arms.

"You're crazy," Pidge comments, scratching her head.

"No way," Lance adds.

"Wrong," Hunk yells.

"Nuh uh, mine was spot on," I said shaking my head with a smile.

"Paladins, focus," Allura scolded, causing me to shrink down.

"Besides, we can't just shoot at the Galra. The Balmera, it's, like, alive. And from what we've seen, it doesn't look very good," Hunk informed.

"Yes, it's an atrocity what the Galra have been doing to this grand beast. Stealing its crystals, it's very life force, The ever performing the energy rejuvenation ceremonies to heal it," Coran added, sorrow in his voice.

"After seeing Shay's people enslaved, it made me realize how bad Zarkon really is. And we're the only ones who can stop him," Hunk said.

"OK, so we can't go in the tunnels guns blazing. Plan B. We figure out how to draw the Galra up to the surface and battle them out there," Shiro said, taking lead.

"Wait, I know. If we attack all of this big mining stuff on the surface, The Galra troops will have to come out to defend it. And we beat them up, and head down to the tunnels, Voltron save the day," Hunk says.

"But, how we know how many are left down in the tunnels?" Keith asked.

"We can track the Galra and the Balmerans using Biothermal Life Indicater Point Technology," Allura explained, pulling up a hologram.

"Oh! BLIP tech!" Katie and I said in unison as we went to go check out the hologram.

"It's an acronym," Katie explains.

"One of you will need to fly around the Balmera and drop sensors into the shafts on each side. Then, we'll be able to see where the Galra and the Balmerans are. There are already sensors built into your suits," Allura continued to explain.

"I can do it. I just modified the Green Lion with the invisible maze's cloaking ability. I should be able to fly around unnoticed," Katie volunteered.

"That's their main power generator. If you take that down, it will severely week in their defenses," Coran informed.

"Will stay in the cloud cover and give tactical support. With the Castle's defenses weakended from Sendak's crystal, we won't be much help to you," Allura said.
