You wake with a start, the ship is shaking like crazy, and you yell in pain as you're thrown across the small cell. You groan and stumble to your feet. Your heart thuds as you hear a release of air.

You whip around and see a crack of light. It opens completely and you see someone in an indigo and orange body suit. You get a weird sensation of deja vu, but shrug it off. The figure motions to you. "C'mon! We don't have all day." You stumble forwards and hurry out. "We have her." you hear the figure say. They guide you down the hallways, where you meet up with four others.

"Whats going on?" you ask, clutching your side.

"Breaking you out, kid, what does it look like?" The tallest of them sneers. You blink. You feel like you've been in this situation before...

"Quickly! We need to go!" you're supported by two of the figures who carry you hurriedly to a ship that's connected to the side of the ship.

You're pushed in and sat in a chair. "Stay here." one of them orders. Female by the sound of it.

You glance around nervously. This is crazy. Who are these people? Why did they rescue you?

You search for some sort of memory, but there's hardly anything. What had happened? You growl in frustration as you try to remember something. Maybe you hit your head and got a concussion?

You sigh and watch as the people that rescued you from the prison that you were in... But how did you get captured in the first place?

"Who are you people?" are the first words you manage, but you quickly cough, due to your dry mouth and throat. One of the figures hands you a kind of pouch filled with liquid. You take the drink thankfully. As you gulp down the liquid, you look at your saviours, waiting for them to answer your question.

The first to take off their helmet is a man with long white hair, lavender skin, pointed ears, and a small smile on his face. "I am Olarus. These are my generals, Aerid, Zayna, Elameria and Navi." He guestures to each masked person accordingly.

You bow your head in thanks. "Thank you." you say softly.

Olarus nods in return. "When we heard that the purple paladin was in custody, we had to act."

"What about Voltron?" you whisper.

Olarus glances at his generals then back to me. "Voltron... Voltron claimed that you had been captured and for the good of the galaxy they could not risk rescuing you. You've been in custody for about 5... How do you earthlings say it? Days?"

You feel your heart stop in your chest. "No... But they would never!"

Olarus looks at you with sympathy, "I'm truely sorry." He says softly setting a hand on your shoulder. You feel numb. Broken. Why... Why would they... You could understand the risks about the black lion... But it hurt that they gave up on you so easily... Especially Lance... He... He was like your big brother. You bite your lip, tears watering. But you refuse to let them fall. You've cried enough. You've shed enough tears to fill a lake. Well no more.

You feel something snap in you and the tears stop. You look at the people in front of you. "What side are you on?"

"We are on the side of freedom. The Galra want to keep control by scaring people, and Voltron is false. They say they are there. But in truth, planets that have regained freedom are forced back into slavery. We cannot stand for this." Olarus explains. "So, we are not part of any side."

I look at him, "I guess... But Voltron... We tried to help... But the Galra beat us."

"And I do not blame you, purple paladin. You believed you were doing the right thing." Olarus says. You look down.

"I don't understand..." you whisper.

"Understand what, purple paladin?" Olarus asks curiously, he removes his hand from your shoulder and returns to his standing position.

"Why Voltron just... Left me... Lance... He wouldn't do that... We were family..." you look at him, hurt evident in your eyes.

He shrugs. "I am not sure, purple paladin."

"There's no need to keep calling me purple paladin. Y/n is fine." You smile thinly. You run a hand through your hair, threading out some of the knots. You watch as the four other figure remove their masks. You blink. The feeling of deja vu comes back.

One, has deep purple eyes, glaring and ready, her hand is resting on a type of gun. Aerid.

The second one, you notice has no eyes, nor a mouth. Just a cat twisting around her ankles. Navi.

The third towers above the rest of them. She looks at you, her eyes narrowed, but a hint of curiousity in her eyes. Zayna, wasn't it?

The final one has pink skin, a wide smile and she waves at you. "Hiya!" she greets. You wave back slightly. Your guess was this is Elameria. You wave to her then turn your attention back to Olarus. He smiles at you and turns towards the controls. "Aerid."

"Yes sir?"

"Get her some medical supplies and tend to her wounds. We'll let her heal at headquarters." Olarus enters some coordinates into the ship and you watch as the stars become nothing but a blur.

Aerid walks to you, a medical kit in her hands. You shift and give a small yell when you hit a tender spot. She raises an emotionless eyebrow, but works on your wound anyways.

You must have dozed off at some point because the next thing you knew, Olarus is gently shaking you awake, "we're here." He whispers.

Hehe... Again with the cliffhanger. Whoops. Wanna say something pointy ears?

Lotor: Will you stop calling me that rediculous name?

Nope. :3

Lotor: I worry about you sometimes, 707.

Mwahah! *laughs evilly*
