"Their Leader demands both of your presences."

Allura and Amethyst stared up at Acxa. Their? Did she mean the Alteans (Allura had decided they were Alteans hiding under the name of Astreans so they wouldn't get any unwanted attention from the Galra)? Why her?

"Don't you mean, your leader?" Amethyst questioned, Allura agreed, and they both allowed Acxa to take them out of the cell whilst the team and the Tigers slept.

"I work for the blades." Acxa replied, bringing Allura and Amethyst down the white corridor.

They walked in perfect silence until they arrived to the throne room. It was a big circular room with white walls and a pale aquamarine colour floor. There were some alteans in the room.

Romelle, the guard with dusty blonde hair in pigtails, mysterious violet eyes and teal sickle-shaped markings

Vizor, the guard with chestnut hair, pale icy blue eyes and lapis blue sickle-shaped markings.

Jade, a female altean with jade hair, purple eyes that fade to bright blue and purple sickle-shaped markings

Enndia, a female altean with black hair, teal eyes and lavender sickle-shaped markings.

Inyali, a female guard with pale red hair, golden eyes and red sickle-shaped markings.

Musho, a Male altean with golden blonde hair, teal eyes and lavender sickle-shaped markings. Enndia's younger brother.

Sat atop the golden throne, was no one.

"Where's the gracious leader?" Allura asked, confused.

"Dead, he died Phoebs ago, but the Alteans are too blind to their new cruel ways to even realise. They need their leader back, or else they might not survive this, nor will your companions." Acxa explained.

"I-I can't." Allura stuttered.

"You can and you will! You have to, Princess!" Inyali argued, pulling a gun out from her belt.

Ezor materialised behind Inyali and pulled the gun away from Inyali.

"We're not forcing you to, we just know that it would be best for the Alteans if their princess returned and claimed the throne. We heard it happened to the Galra as well." Ezor suggested.

"Vrepit Sa." Acxa muttered, then turned to face the other Alteans.

"Why don't you want to be Empress, or Queen?" Enndia asked curiously.

"Because team Voltron need me, I need them." Allura explained, and the ship rumbled, possibly from enemy fire.

"Allura disagrees, but what about Amethyst? She is still a valid altean princess." Vizor suggusted.

"I would appreciate if you would not talk of me as if I'm not present." Amethyst growled

The Alteans and the generals swarmed over to Amethyst, begging. Eventually she accepted the role.

"Queen Amethyst, Hey?" Allura teased, punching her sister playfully.

"Some one had to be empress, and now it'll be me!" Amethyst declared, walking to the opposite side of the room to everyone. The ship rumbled again, and the alarms started blaring. Acxa escorted Allura out of the room, Ezor and the altean group leading the way in front of them. Amethyst was sitting on the throne, plotting her first move.

"Where are we going?" Allura asked

Allura heard that Acxa was speaking, but she didn't hear the words Acxa was actually saying because a big explosion of enemy fire erupted in the throne room, fire licking up the whole room.

"AMETHYST!" Allura screamed, but it was too late. 

The group began running as the fire began engulfing the corridor behind them. At some point, Zethrid joined them. Inyali, Vizor and Romelle ran off towards the prison, for they were guards, and it was their assigned job from Acxa to get the prisoners out as quickly as possible. The ship rumbled and Allura look through a hole to see what it was.

The Pink Tiger

Her vision slowly started blacking out as she saw the tigers being ushered out into an escape pod.
