I was laying in my bed, eyes closed. Trying to sleep on this ship was hard. Everything was always so loud. "Why cant I just sleep in peace?" I asked myself rolling on my side pulling the covers over my head. That's when I heard a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I asked not in the mood. "It's Lotor" the person answered. "Why do you have to come and get me so early?" I asked sitting up in my bed. "It's father's orders. Now get up or I'm coming in there!" Lotor snarled. "Ok! Fine! I'm up!" I responded getting out of my bed and opening my bedroom door. 

"What a mess you are! Get dressed!" Lotor ordered. "Fine! Why do you have to be so bossy?!" I mumbled the lasted part to myself closing the door. I put on armor that's similar to the armor that Lotor is wearing. When I brushed my hair and teeth, I opened my bedroom door to see Lotor leaning against the wall by my door. I didnt say anything and walked out of my room. Lotor followed. "What exactly does father want this time?" I asked. I never really knew if zarkon was my real father but I didn't care.

"He wants us to train more" Lotor responded.

"And have you beat my ass again? No way. You're way stronger than me and you know it. Father knows it too! Whenever he watches us battle together, i feel like he likes watching me get beat by you. I try so hard every time, but I just can't beat you. I Stay up all night trying to get stronger than I already am, but i just can't. I feel like I made it to my limits in getting stronger" I told Lotor looking ahead.

"I'm sure you'll get stronger one day! You just need more practice. Plus I'll go easy on you this time" 

"You say that every time but never do" I said looking at Lotor. 

Lotor let out a sigh. "I really try my best to go easy on you, but i always get carried away with it" 

We arrived at the arena that all the battles that the prisoners never survive. I let out a sigh. "Don't fail this time" I whispered to myself grabbing a sword. Lotor was already out in the arena waiting for me. I walked out and the crowd cheered. You wold expect the crowd to boo me by now, but they don't which I've always found kinda odd. I looked around and saw my father. "I'm going to fail him again-" before i could finish me sentence, Lotor charged at me with his sword in the air. As a reflex, i blocked it with my sword and pushed back with all of my force. I eventually got Lotor to stumble backwards and I stood waiting for him to come at me again. Lotor charged again, but i moved out of the way. He then turned and attacked me from behind. I yelped in surprise and started to defend myself. Lotor was too quick for me. "Lotor slow down!" I begged. I guess he didn't hears me because he kept on fighting me. I could see an insane look in his eyes. I kept blocking what attacks i could, but Lotor eventually cut a deep cut in my right arm. I hissed in pain. He didn't seem to notice and kept fighting me. He eventually knocked me onto the floor and stepped on my chest to keep me from  getting up. The crowd went wild. I knew I would loose again. I looked up at Zarkon and i could see him chuckling. Just seeing that made me want to cry. Lotor took his foot off me and helped me up. "You did better this time" he praised. I looked at the wound in my arm. It was bleeding badly. I put my left hand over the wound putting pressure on it while holding my sword in the other hand. I didn't look at Lotor, only walked out of the arena in disappointment. I put my sword away and went to the medical bay. I ignored everyone that I passed. I grabbed bandages from the medical bay and walked back to my room. 

I made it back to my room and entered, closing the door. I sat on my bed taking off the armor and wrapping the bandage around the wound. I could feel tears threatening to fall. I fought the urge to cry but instead started balling. I cried into my hands. There was another knock on my door. "We're going to be ruling another planet my princess~" I heard a voice say. I knew that voice. It belongs to Zarkon. "I DON'T CARE ABOUT RULING ANOTHER PLANET!" I yelled through my door at Zarkon wiping my eyes. "What if i told you that we'll be fighting Voltron again?" he asked. "I don't care about that either..." I responded crossing my arms looking away from my door. "Well if you don't come out soon I'll have someone drag you out instead" Zarkon said wth a chuckle. "I'll be out later" I responded. I don't give a shit about what Zarkon does to me. He's been doing this to me for years so its really nothing. I heard foot steps fading from my door. I sighed with relief. I laid in my bed and closed my eyes. I was too tired to do anything else so i stayed there. I eventually felt sleep take over and drown me in a black abyss.

~Time skip to the end of the battle~

I woke up due to the ship shaking. I got off my bed and left my room. I snuck around the hallways and found the control room. I peeked my head in to see whats going on. "We need to take off, now!" I heard Zarkon order. "Yes sir!" one of the pilots said racing to the control panel. The ship started to take off. 

'Should I try and escape now? If i don't do it now i might never be able to again-' my thought was cut off from the ship flying into space. I thought for a moment about my decision, and then ran down the hall. I didn't bother grabbing anything from my room, so I just went straight to the escape pods. I made it to the door. there were guards, so I snuck behind them and knocked them out. I went inside the escape pod area and opened the first pod I walked by. I got in and turned it on. When the pod was on and ready to go, it shot out of the ship. It took a few moments, but it eventually crashed onto the planet we attacked. I could see the lions off in the distance. The pod crashed throwing me all over the place. Once it stopped, I got out and looked at the pod one last time before running to where I saw the lions. The planet was a mess. Everything was destroyed. Just seeing this made me upset. I shook my head and continued on. The lions eventually came to view. I wasn't paying attention, but something sharp was in the way and my leg got cut by it. When my leg collided with the object from running too fast, I fell and started to roll down the hill the was underneath me. One of the paladins were in the way and I rolled right into them knocking them over. I was in too much pain and dizzy to see who it was. The other paladins rushed over to help the one I ran into. "It's a survivor!" I heard one say. "She looks pretty beat up to me" i heard another say. "Whats going on and who are you?" I asked clearly confused. I knew  minute ago, but I guess I hit my head hard on that fall. A tan skinned boy with shaggy brown hair knelt down to my size. "She's clearly confused" I looked at the boy. I saw him wearing blue armor. 'The blue paladin' I thought. I looked around and saw the others. Next was the red, then black, green, and yellow.
I saw some others as well, a tall peach skinned man with an oragnge mustache and hair along with a dark skinned girl with long white hair. They both looked to be altean. I looked back at the blue paladin. "What's your name?" He asked. "(Y/N), (Y/N) (L/N)" I told the boy. "Well (Y/N), we should get you to a healing pod. You dont look so good at the moment." The boy suggested. He picked me up without a warning and started to walk to this big white ship thing. "I can walk you know-" I retorted trying to get out of the boy's grip. "You dont look in any walking state to me" "Lance! Put (Y/N) down! If she doesnt want to be held then respect that!" The red paladin told the boy who I now belive is lance. "Fine..." Lance said in a disappointed tone puting me down. I managed to walk but I was in a lot of pain.

I had to limp the hole way instead. They tryed putting me in a pod. "Ill be fine! Ive had worse happen to me!" I told them trying to get away from the pods. "No you're not! You need to be healed!" The white haired altean told me. "No ill be fine! Really!"

The female managed to get me in the pod. I could feel more sleep trying to posses my body. I tryed my best to fight it, but I just couldn't so fell into a deep sleep...
