Zarkon was dead. Killed by his own son, Prince Lotor of the Galra.

And now, Zarkon's reign over the empire was over.

I would like to say that it was a relief to finally have Zarkon removed from the empire, but I still had an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Somwthing bad was going to happen, and it was going to be a part of Lotor's time on the throne.

Pidge and Matt were happy to have their father back, and I was happy to see them so full of life as we went back to the Castle.

I changed into my human form so Commander Holt would see a familiar face and I would only have to change back once.

We ran out of our lions once we landed and walked over to the reunited family.

Pidge was laughing and smiling as she brought her father to meet us.

"Everyone, this is my dad, Sam Holt." She said excitedly. Commander Holt smiled and walked around as he shook everyone's hands.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander. I am Princess Allura." Allura said politely.

"The pleasure is all mine, Princess." Sam said as he turned towards Lance and Hunk.

"What's up?" Lance said, "I'm Lance, and this is Hunk."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Holt." Hunk said shaking the older man's hand.

"Good to meet my daughter's crew." He said, turning back to Pidge, "I told you you would to do things to make the whole universe take notice."

Pidge smirked, gesturing towards me, "And I was right about another thing."

Sam looked towards me questioningly. I smiled, taking off my helmet and letting my black hair fall.

Mr. Holt wad more than surprised to see me, his jaw dropped in shock.

"No way." He gasped, "Is that really you, Aiko?"

I nodded, "Good to see you again, Mr. Holt."

Mr. Holt turned back to his son and daughter, silently begging for answers.

"She's been in space since she left us. And.... her name isn't Aiko. In fact, she isn't even human."

His shocked, questioning face deepened.

I laughed, drawing his attention back to me.

"Sorry, Mr. Holt, but it's really funny. Your daughter and son did the same thing when they found out about my true self."

I changed into my normal form, and watched as Mr. Holt turned pale and even more shocked.

I explained who I was and why I was on Earth, he almost passed out a couple of times during my explanation, but other than that, he was calm and shocked.

After he calmed down from my explanation, we all went to rest a little while we traveled back to Olkarion.

Of course, we put Lotor back in a secured room and kept him there until we returned to Olkarion.

I woke up a couple hours after we arrived on Olkarion. Luna purred as I woke up and we both walked to the bridge of the Castle.

As I was walking, I felt that cold chill from Lotor. Turning myself invisible, I sat on Luna, also making her invisible and walked onto the bridge.

Allura and Lotor were standing and sitting in the bridge, looking serious as they waited for the other palidans.

"They should be here any minute." Allura said.
