Takashi's POV.

Sandek crumples to the floor

lifeless.

There are screams of horror around the airship harbor as they stare at his body.

His skin and fur that was once purple fades and frains from his body leaving behind a deathly ash hue. His yellow glowing eyes fading into the brilliant blue.

Adam tries to shield Hunk's, Pidge's and Lance's view of Sandek's lifeless body.

"He killed Sandek!" someone shouts.

There are angry shouts from the Galran soldiers.

Mayhem is rising, soldiers ready their weapons again.

We all press in as close as we can, squirming uncomfortably.

"Guys, calm down! This is a misunderstanding! He was being controlled! Did you see his eyes change color?"

A second in command speaks up among the riot.

"He was being punished by Zarkon for disobeying orders! He killed himself rather than follow our great emperor! ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU KILLED COMMANDER SANDEK! CHARGE!"

There is enraged screams and unholy war cries as soldiers raise their weapons and charge at us with all their speed and force.

Arrows are being shot and lasers fire all around us.

Adam's particle barrier expands in a perfect sphere all around us and is big enough for us to have room inside.

The soldiers charge and make contact with the barrier but it's impermeable surface holds them back.

They push on all sides of us, forcing the barrier to shrink.

I look over to Adam. He is straining against the pushing of the soldiers.

Quickly, I look around through the surface of the barrier.

A control panel! If we open it, we will be sucked out and can escape!

"Guys, get to the control panel on the side! I have an idea!" I shout over the pounding on the particle barrier.

"Make it quick! I can't hold this up for much longer!" Adam winces.

"Bring the barrier to the panel!"

Adam pushes the outside of the barrier to the control panel, straining even more.

"Wait, we would have to break the shield to push the button!" Pidge shouts over the chaos.

"Shit, I forgot!"

"Shields up everyone, things are about to get real!"

"NO! DON'T PUT DOWN THE BRRIER!"

"Nachia, We have no choice! Keep your shield up and you will be okay."

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?! WE'LL BE SUCKED OUT OF HERE AND THROWN INTO A FREE FALL!"

"Exactly. Everyone when I push the button on the panel, the wall keeping the ships in will disintegrate and we will all be sucked out and into a free fall! Stay close to us. Choose someone to take you in a lion to the Garrison!"

"NO! I'M NOT READY FOR THIS!" She cries.

"Nachia, you will be okay. Get behind me."

Nachia scurries behind Adam.

"I have no choice. Keith, the moment the barrier falls you press that button! Got it?"

"Yeah!"

The pounding on the barrier becomes fiercer and the barrier cracks.
