Two chapters on the same day? Now that's a surprise even for me. I forgot I had written this chapter before hand because my writers block wasn't letting write chapter 4 so I wrote chapter 5 for some reason, but anyway, here you guys go.

Narrator's POV

"Okay, everyone get in their lions. Today's the day we sneak into Zarkon's ship and save those prisoners. Keith, and I will be riding with lance in the blue lion. Pidge, you and Nakali will be riding with Hunk in the yellow lion." Shiro said. Nakali high fived Pidge. Shiro found it a bit strange how Pidge got comfortable with Nakali in just a three days, but he found it nice to see Pidge interacting with someone instead of a computer, so he let it be.

"Alright, let's head out." Shiro said. Each paladin got into the blue and yellow lion. Once in their lions, they fly out of the castle.

Hunk was typing away in his lion, trying to find the location of Zarkon's ship, "Okay, I've got the coordinates to Zarkon's ship right now. We'll be there in a couple of doboshes."

"Okay, still be vigilant. You never know what might happen." Shiro says.

"Okay." Everyone else responds in unison. Within a couple of minutes, they could see Zarkon's ship from afar.

"Alright paladins, remember the plan. Keith, Shiro, Pidge, and I will be boarding the ship through an entrance we will be making on the bottom of the ship. Lance and Hunk will be waiting for us on the outside of the entrance, if they are to be discovered, they will fly away. We can take an escape pod out of here." Nakali said.

Allura looked at Nakali through the hologram with an angered look, "I never agreed to this plan. Your putting the paladins at a high risk with your plan!"

"With all due respect Allura, this is the only way in. Our other options were way riskier than this and could have possibly have lead us to death." She glared at Allura, "So, I suggest you just keep quiet and go along with the plan." Nakali shot venom as she spoke to Allura. Allura looked at her shocked.

"Okay, okay, ladies! Calm yourselves! We have to be focused in this mission." Lance said.

"Lance is right, we have to keep our focus on the mission." Nakali sighed, as well as Allura, but she still glared at Nakali. Allura sighs. "Just be careful." She said.

"Will do princess." Shiro said. The call ended. There was now a quiet silence. Shiro looked at Nakali through the screen. He noticed that she may look calm but she was angry inside. "Don't worry Nakali. I am sure Allura will be less harsh in the future, but you have to understand that she's cautious only because you worked for the empire."

Nakali looked at the ground, "I know why she is acting this way. But, it does not make it any much easier. She also has to understand that I never choose to help Zarkon. That I didn't choose to be captured three years ago. And that I didn't choose the path I had to follow. Those were all chosen for me. They were all forced onto me, all I had to do was choose whether or not I would follow that choice or those closest to me would suffer the consequences." She made her hand into a fist. "War is all I ever know space to be. Since I could remember, I was trained to be a soldier, a fighter, a warrior. I was meant to fight against the empire, not with it. My father always called me his 'Little Warrior'... I doubt this is what he meant." Nakali stated as she sadness overwhelmed her. The paladins looked at her with pity in their eyes. She had been forced to do so much, and all because she wants to protect those close to her.

"We should continue this conversation later, right now, we have a ship to get into." Nakali says. Everyone nods. Lance and Hunk navigate their lions through space. Once they were closer to the ship, they flew to the bottom section. Shiro, Keith, Pidge, and Nakali got out of the lions. The maneuvered their way to the wall of the ship. Pidge uses her bayard to create an opening and they slip through it. They look both ways of the hallway, making sure no one had saw them.
