The castle's alarms blared as Shiro, Thace and Keith laid Ulaz down onto the med bays nearest bed; just as Pidge and Peridot quickly ran into the room. "Pidge, Peridot, what is going on?" Shiro loudly asked the two girls; while Thace and Keith searched for medical equipment to use
"A bunch of Galra Dreadnaughts just showed up." Katie quickly explained. "And they brought Castle Doom with them!"
"What?" Keith, Thace, Ulaz, and Shiro all said in disbelief.
"How did they find us?" Keith questioned when Ulaz began to groan in pain; with the feeling originating from his right leg.
Curious about something, Thace placed his hand on his friend's sore spot and felt a strange bump, and it was... vibrating. The older Galra's eyes widened as he began to realize he had made a critical error. "All of this... this was a trap from the beginning; Zarkon knew we wouldn't pass up an opportunity to save one of our own and placed a tracker inside of Ulaz's leg." The Marmora agent informed.
"The particle barrier is up, and the castle's defenses are primed," Peridot explained to the group. "But we need you and Keith out their now; Stevonnie and Amethyst are holding the Galra off as best as they can. However, they won't last forever against forces like these on their own."
"Attacking or defending won't matter if they can follow us again," Ulaz explained. "We need to remove the tracker."
"We won't have time to do an operation," Thace explained to his friend.
"What if we shut it down by electrocuting it?" Pidge suggested as she activated her Bayard.
"Ulaz is in no state to receive anything like that right now." Keith protested.
"The means should not matter as long as the goal is met in the end," Ulaz told the young Galra before trustfully looking at the Green Paladin. "Do it, young one."
The teenaged girl nodded and walked over to the Blade of Marmora agent; rubbing her hand up and down his leg until she found where the tracker was planted. "This is going to hurt a lot," Pidge warned as she placed the edge of her triangular-shaped blade on the limb. Ulaz yelled out in pain as the shocks coursed through his body, but Pidge pulled her weapon away after a faint crackling sound was heard; confirming the destruction of the device.
"We need to get out there," Shiro said.
"Father, look after Ulaz." Keith requested.
"Do not worry about us." The older Galra assured. "Do what you have to do.
"Everyone else, armor up and get to your Lions!" Shiro ordered Katie, Keith, and Peridot.
________________________________________________________________________________
Amethyst rammed the Yellow Lion into a Djalg and then an Erto before firing her Maw Cannon at a squad of enemy interceptors while the Castle of Lions gave her covering fire; destroying them with relative ease before flying off.
"How do you like that suckers!" Amethyst taunted her enemy as she flew around the chaotic battlefield for her next targets.
The Yellow Lion barrel rolled away from the incoming enemy fire as half a dozen newly dispatched fighters seemingly came out of nowhere and pursued the mechanical beast.
The Blue Lion flies in from behind the enemies and quickly freezes them in place and maneuvers out of the way before hitting them. "There's far too many of them to deal with!" Stevonnie shouted over their comms as they flew alongside Amethyst.
