The White Lion Princess

Begin the Blitz

My mind was traveling between the strange voices calling out to me for help, and the chilling cold feeling I had just the other day.

However, i stopped wondering when Kolivan and Keith called with an update.

I smiled, happy to see Keith again, even if it was only on a screen.

"Entire Galra fleets have been mobilized. Zarkon seems to be out looking for Lotor." Kolivan informed us.

"It's only a matter of time before he gets the empire back in order. We need to take advantage of this moment." Shiro said.

"What are you getting at, Shiro?" Allura asked.

"Now is the time to assemble the coalition that Voltron has been building. With intelligence gathered by the Blades and coalition observers, combined with Pidge's Galra tracking software, we now have a detailed map of the Galra Empire."

"Shiro is right." I agreed, "This information and tech has given us a slight advantage over the Empire."

"Yeah, and I've identified an intermittent line of coalition planets that runs through the territory. If you look closely, there's only one Galra-occupied planet left on that line."

We looked up at the screen and saw a detailed map of a protective line of planets, but only one was still under Galra control.

"Naxzela." Allura and I said.

"Exactly. If we capture Naxzela and solidify that line, we can cut off all tge Galra troops behind it from central command and use our position to defeat them."

"Woe! We could take back a third of the Galra empire in one fell swoop." Pidge said astonished and excited.

"Do we have a plan?" Hunk asked.

"We attack several locations across the region, at once." Shiro said, "First, we'll have to cut off communications between the region and Galra Central Command by striking the satellite relay station orbiting Vantax Five."

"Pidge and I can handle that." Hunk said.

"The Blades have informed us of two Galra defense systems coming online called Zaiforge cannons. Now, these cannons can strike any target within our combat theater." Shiro explained, "The first, in high orbit around the planet Teq, will be attacked by coalition air forces led by Matt and Captain Olia. Kolivan will lead a Marmoran steike team against tge second cannon, located on the surface of Senfama, which is vulnerable to a covert ground attack."

"So our plan is to take control of these cannons and use Zarkon's own firepower against him. Does that sum it up, Shiro?" I asked.

"Yeah, good summary Zurine. Once the coalition forces and Blades neutralize these targets, Galra defenses will be weakened, allowing us to take down the remaining Galra-occupied planets in this area. While our forces are taking care of these planets, Naxzela will already be under attack."

"By whom?" Allura asked.

"Voltron." Allura and I smiled at the plan.

"Aw, yeah!" Lance exclaimed, "Team Voltron's gonna drop in Naxzela, form Hunk's giant laser cannon, and be all like 'Pow! Pow! Pow!' Easy-peasy."

I sighed, "Unfortunately, this plan won't be so easy, Lance."

"Zurine's right." Shiro agreed, "Naxzela will be tough. It's heavily fortified with Galra. Our attack must be swift enough to neutralize the Galra forces before they have time to contact Galra Headquarters. 'Cause if they call for reinforcements, we'll be caught in a fight on two fronts."

"If this works, the Voltron Coalition will possess a third of the Galra Empire's territory. It will be a massive victory." Kolivan said.

"And inspire a whole new wave of rebellions." Allura added.
