I Love--

Lance knew they shouldn't have trusted the Altean. For starters, the first thing she did upon meeting them was attack them, and after Lotor they all knew how those kinds of relationships ended.

But it wasn't there fault. The Altean's story matched up that the Galra took her as a prisoner before they blew up planet Altea and found use in her. They asked her to build a mega-weapon that could destroy Voltron to use at the very last second when the Galra were on their knees. She said she had no choice in the matter, and well the paladins believed her. It was no secret that the Galra used their prisoners to build warships and weapons. The only thing Lance picked up on was how healthy she seemed to be for a Galra prisoner.

He should've said something then, but he never did.

"We're under heavy fire!" Hunk yells in his mic. Without even needing to be told, Pidge activates the shield, taking the beam.

"We can't shake her!" There's another blast that knocks Voltron off it's feet and into the ground. The paladins shout in pain. In the headset, Lance can hear everyone's panicked breathing, including his own. He stops for a second, taking a deep breath. There is a way out of this there has to be.

Then Lance has an idea.

"Does anyone still have any Faunatonium left."

"Yeah, why?"

"Well I'm not a scientist or anything, but if that stuff can give us enough energy to fly home when the lions weren't even able to get off the ground, what will happen to a fully powered ship? We can dis-ban so we can attack her from all angles and then use the fuel to give us a boost that is hopefully equal to the energy of Voltron."

"That... actually could work!" Pidge says excitedly. Lance can pratically hear the smile in Keith's voice.

"Alright everyone, dis-ban and gather all the Faunatonium left on your ship." The paladins split up, flying away to buy them time to insert the Faunatonium in the ship and coordinate an attack strategy. Once the Faunatonium is inserted, the lions glow brighter and Lance could feel the energy radiation off of it. It was almost as if they gave the lions coffee.

"RAZZLE DAZZLE!" Lance, Hunk, Pidge, and Allura attack first, coming at four different angles towards the massive robot. They count down and shoot at the exact same moment, catching the robot off-guard, it stumbles for a moment, but gets back to it's feet, swatting away the yellow lion as if it were a fly.

"HUNK!" All of them shout at the same time.

"I'm okay, just a scratch." Lance and Allura go onto opposite sides of the robot, firing their fire and ice rays at the hands. It's difficult because of how quickly the robot moves its hands, but in one last final burst of energy, they blow up the arms, causing the robot to drop its swords. That's when Keith flies in, grabbing one of the swords in it's mouth and being careful not to touch the blade. While this is going on, Pidge darts around the robot, shooting random places while having the invisibility cloak on. Lance and Allura also shoot wherever they can, and are soon joined by Hunk.

"EVERYONE OUT OF THE WAY!" Without missing a beat, all four lions stop firing and fly away from the giant robot, now on it's knees. It starts to stand, but not before the Black Lion propels itself forward, spreading it's wings and moving at impossible speeds. There's a flash as the tip of the sword meets the robots chest, and then an explosion of light, causing all the paladins to close their eyes.

Then the dust settles. The robot is on the ground, the blade through it's chest. All of the lights are off, and in a heap beside it is the black lion. Everyone starts to cheer, flying towards the ground to meet Keith.
