Voltron Legendary Defenders:The Rise of Voltron

Prologue A

Altea burned all around.King Alfor,his daughter Allura,Coran,and Mafara watch helplessly from the castle.At Mafara's side,is a small Altean-Galran child of about 5 or 6 years old.Then,Zarkon appears on a tech screen.Mafara stares with tears of rage in her burning eyes. "Zarkon." Alfor muttered.
"Your fleet has been destroyed,Alfor.I will be there shortly to claim Voltron." The Galran emperor spoke.As soon as the screen vanishes,a Galran cannon fires. "Stand back!" Mafara yells.A light violet sphere surrounded the castle before its hit.They all grunt as the castle shakes.
"Father,we must form Voltron and fight before it's too late!" Allura yells. "It's already too late.We must send the lions away.We can't risk them falling into Zarkon's hands." Alfor says.
"We can't give up hope!" Allura argues.King Alfor walks over to his daughter,a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, daughter.If all goes well,I will see you again soon." With the flick of his hand,Allura begins with to grow sleepy and her vision gets blurry and black. "Father." "I love you." He whispers.Allura's vision fades completely into black as she falls asleep in her father's arms. "Princess Allura!" Coran yelled. "Sorry Coran,but it's for the best." Fylina whispered as she knocked out Coran with a sleep spell,Alfor catching him too. "Let's get them to the pods.They'll be safe there." Earning a nod from the Altean woman,she follows him.
The two Alteans were rested in the pods.The King turns to the former alchemist and her child,Len. "This could keep them safe for a very long while.As for the lions,the Paladins are relocating them now.I better prepare to relocate the Red Lion." "I'll prepare your coordinates." Mafara says,shortly leaving.Len stared at the pods in sadness.

The Altean castle ship flew through space.Only 7 deca-phoebes passed since Mafara found a planet where they could take refuge,a planet called Arus.By her side was her small half-Altean,half-Galra tween,Len.Her hair was a periwinkle color and her eyes were blue w/purple pupils and yellow sclera. "Hey,Mom?Where are we going?" "To Arus,love." Mafara responded after a yawn. "Why?" "To keep you,Black-" "Ahem,you mean Onyx,right?" Len corrected her.Mafara only chuckled at her.She remembered long ago in times of peace when her daughter named the lions,much to the humor of both Alfor and Zarkon.The Blue Lion was named Nila,the Green Lion named Ivy,the Yellow Lion named Blaine,the Red Lion named Shani,and the Black Lion named Onyx. "Right sorry,Onyx,and the others safe from Zarkon's empire." Mafara said,quickly correcting her. "Why?How come we can't fight him,mother?" She asks. "He took home away,the least we can do is take him down!" Mafara sighs,looking down at her small child. "...It's..it's just the way things need to be honey." Mafara smiles weakly at her as she sighs heavily. "You're hopeless mom,you know that,right?" Len asks. "Apparently yes." Mafara slyly fakes a yawn. "Anyways,I don't know about you,but your momma's getting tired.How about we both take a quick nap?" Len rolls her eyes and groans. "Alright,fine."
The two leave for Len's room.As Len lays down in the blankets,Magara takes off a necklace decorated in beautiful black and violet crystals.
"....Hey,mom?" "Yes baby?" Mafara asks,looking up from tucking her in. "Can you sing me that one lullaby,the one Aunt Honerva used to sing before her passing." Mafara nods. "Of course." Len dives into her blankets,getting all cuddled up.Mafara starts to sing.
What would a mother not do for her child?
What lengths would a mother not go?
There's a bond that exists between mother and child,with no end to how strong it can grow.
It's a promise for life between mother and child,it begins from the moment of birth.
And you're shaken to your soul...with an ache you've never known.
And you look into their eyes,
She puts a hand on Len's cheek,looking into her eyes.
And find you're looking in your own.
And there's a pain you can't imagine.
A special kind of torture you can feel.
A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you,
A past regret you cannot heal.
And no one guesses while you're praying.
That screaming stranger in your arms.
Might just grow up and save you after all!
Might just grow up and save you after all..
As she finished,she finds Len asleep. "Still works." Mafara whispers as stands,pulling out a spell book.She sets it down beside the necklace.Turning back to Len,she scoops her up and heads down to the pod room. "Wow..your heavy." She mutters.Upon arrival,Mafara glances at all the pods,to which the sleeping Alteans still continue to rest peacefully. "Time for you to join them,Len." She sticks the sleeping half-Galra into a pod beside Allura's. "Be brave,be strong."

After many,many,MANY years passed,an elderly Altean woman walks to the pod room through the long,twisting halls.This Altean is Mafara,an odd looking staff in her hand.The staff is decorated with dark purple/blue violet crystals.Upon entering the pod room,she stops at Len's.Len still lies in deep sleep.Her expression is that of a peaceful one. "I'm afraid I can't be around forever,my child.So I'll sing for you.One last...time." She says weakly.
Some dreams die upon the vine.
Some may never come to be.
Sweeter than the sweetest wine.
She looks to Allura.
That she would have become Altea's Queen!
She turns back to Len,putting a hand on the glass.
And there's relieve you can't imagine!
It's filling every sin you own and earned.
To know that you can get out of this hellhole,and finally live the life you deserve.
And you leave the past you knew would haunt you!
And all of the regret you didn't show.
Might just grow up and save you after all!"
She places her forehead on the glass.
Might just grow up and save you after all!
Might just grow up and save you....After All!!!

After bidding her last farewells,Mafara stands far outside the castle,her staff planted into the ground.She stares up at the night sky,singing softly.
What would a mother not do for her child?
What lengths would a mother not go?
There's bond that exists between mother and child....
Mafara lets out a small gasp,smiling as she speaks. "Ah,but then again,how would you know?" She mutters,thinking of her sister and Zarkon.She fall backwards,about to land in the dirt.The only thing that appears on the cold ground is beside her staff.
