Season 5 Alternate Ending

Published On: Mar. 14, 2018

Lance and Shiro walked down a vast hallway in the castle of lions. Allura and Lotor were in that white hole, testing themselves with the white lion. The others were on the bridge waiting for the Altean and Altean-Galra hybrid to get back. Lance was freaking out. He was worried. Anxious. Uneasy. All of these feelings mixed with feeling like a 7th wheel, and it didn't help one bit.

One thing led to another, and the Black and Blue paladin were walking through this hallway. It felt ominous, and this unsettling feeling had rested itself in the pit of Lance's stomach when he glanced at Shiro.

Shiro had a blank-slate look on his face. His eyes seemed dull. Almost like... he was.. controlled..

"Uhhh... Shiro? You ok there?", Lance asked nervously, seeing Shiro stop abrubtly. He waved his hand in front of Shiro's face. "Hello? Shiro? Earth to Shiro...?"

Shiro turned to Lance. He slowly stepped towards Lance. It was more like a stagger than a step, though. This freaked Lance out. Thoughts raced in Lance's mind. He kept calm the best he could, and slowly stepped back, gradually becoming more fearful.

"I don't feel like myself...", said Shiro. But, it didn't sound exactly like him. It sounded... distorted, almost. It was like a mixture of voices, all saying the same thing at the same time. It was horrifying, almost like a horror movie. Shiro, or whoever it was now, kept repeating this line. Over and over and over. Shiro continued to stagger towards Lance.

Lance also continued to step back, hoping this was a dream. A nightmare. He reached for his bayard, but at the wrong time. Whoever it was controlling Shiro mae him punch Lance, with the robotic arm, might i add.

The poor blue, or now red paladin was practically thrown to the side. With no time to react from the shock he just endured, Lance was already pinned up against the wall. Blood streamed out of his nose, and trickled down to his chin. He felt a hard, cold hand firmly wrapped around his neck.

Lance was getting choked by the black paladin himself. He clawed at Shiro's arm, trying to break free. "Let... me go...!", Lance gasped, coughing, trying to breath the best he could.

"I dont feel like myself," the voice from Shiro repeated. Tears formed at the corners of Lances eyes. He was genuinely scared. He never expected his hero to act this way towards him. It... hurt.

"Shiro PLEASE-", said the now raspy voice of Lance. The tears spilled out of his eyes. 'Please let this nightmare end... just let it eNd!', his thoughts screamed.

Then he saw it. Lance saw the faint glowing eyes of Haggar behind Shiro. His eyes widened. Haggar smirked, and waved her hand in a... mystical way. The nose-bleeding paladin raised his eyebrow, but not for long.

Shiro's robotic arm lit up.

"I don't feel like myself.", it, or Shiro, repeated again. His arm light grew brighter, and filled the hallway.

Allura and Lotor were back. They did not go through the hallway Lance and Shiro were in. Everyone was clueless. The two missing paladins were gone for a while, making everyone else worry. But, they waited nevertheless.

Until, they heard a loud, ear splitting scream that rippled through the air inside the ship. The remaining others in the bridge all looked at eachother in fear. They knew whose scream that was, and they all rushed out of the bridge, searching for the source of it.

The scream was Lance's.
