"Please don't be a giant monster in there! Please don't be a giant monster in there! Please don't be a giant monster in there!" Amethyst prayed to herself as the steam finally dispersed, and the coffin stood wide open before Voltron.
Whatever was inside the coffin; it had dozens, if not hundreds, of glowing green eyes with no visible pupils. The horrifying beast let out a low growl as its long, tentacle-like arms and hands clasped the edge of its pod; pulling itself out with it strength, baring its actual form to the entire planet it stood on.
The monster was the size of Voltron; with the shape of its body resembling that of a lizard and octopus hybrid with spider-like eyes covering its entire body, and the jaws of a shark. The beast was armored from head to toe in a metallic, red shell that barely left any skin exposed; with the symbol of the Galra Empire proudly tattooed onto the creature's chest.
"Quiznack!" Amethyst cursed.
The monster lets out a blood-curdling roar, one loud enough to force the Paladins to cover their ears, before he stares at Voltron with an animalistic glare.
"What the hell is that thing?" Pidge loudly asked with some terror in her tone.
"It's a Deathblack Beastman," Keith answered.
"A what?" Stevonnie asked."
"One of Witch Haggar's monsters," Keith explained. "They're abominable fusions of flesh and machine; making them some of the Empire's most dangerous weapons."
"So, they're Robot Beasts... Ro-Beasts?" Stevonnie asked; they knew the answer was obvious, but still asked it anyway.
"Yes, if you want to simplify it," Keith answered in a deadpan tone.
"Well, I'm calling it a Ro-Beast," Amethyst added in. "Deathblack Beastman sounds like a metal band if you ask me."
"Paladins, focus," Shiro ordered the group. "Keith, you know what these things are capable of; do you have any tips?"
"No one's ever beaten a Beastman before," Keith informed. "All I know is a limited amount of Quintessence powers them, and they keep on fighting until they run out and die."
"And how long would that take?" Peridot asked.
"With the current state of the Balmera... the planet will give out before the beast does," Keith answered, plainly and simply.
The Ro-Beast let out a second blood-curdling roar as it charged towards Voltron on all fours at a terrifying speed for its size.
"Shield up!" Shiro shouted.
"Right!" Pidge and Peridot shouted as they lifted Voltron's left arm; placing the tower shield in-between Voltron and the Beastman. The gigantic creature leaped into the air like a pouncing predator and swiped its claws at the shield; its sheer, unrelenting strength managed to push Voltron back with each swipe.
"Damn, this thing is strong." Shiro cursed to himself as the creature continued its assault. "We need to pull back!" Shiro ordered the other Paladins. With that said, Amethyst and Stevonnie max out Voltron's leg thrusters to put a significant amount of distance between him and it.
"So, what's the plan, Chief?" Stevonnie asked their leader.
"Hit it with everything we've got?" Keith asked.
