"HUNK! Get on the right! The fleet is heading right towards the castle!" Keith called through the comms.
"I'm sorry! I'm just trying not to squash those alien duckies!" Hunk apologized in a panic. He was able to dodge the alien ducks from the planet they tried to land on.
Sadly, the planet was occupied by a Galra camp. They didn't know about their presence and neither did the Galra. The only mistake was Hunk stepping in territory where sentries were patrolling for more prisoners to get inside. Lance took down the sentries with his new sniper ability from the last fight against the monster that nearly killed the Squad.
Happy to be back aboard Yellow, Hunk and the paladins quickly pulled their defenses up to escape the planet before more forces came. The castleship trembled with a massive shock from attacks they were taking from the small fleet coming from all directions. Everyone was trying to stay up in the command room.
Landing in their respective hangars, they saw Allura's face appear on their screens telling them to get ready for a jump. Thinking again, they wouldn't have gotten far without the help of the Squad. The rescue of Roe aboard the Rinowa spaceship and Clara's escape from the cruise ship they were supposed to hack in the first place. Finally, the formation of Coran's Squad to put their experiences to the test.
"I can't maneuver..." Allura said. "I don't have enough energy..."
"What do you mean?" Clara asked. "I thought the energy of the ship was connected to you..."
"It is. My lifeforce does give the ship its power... but right now...I can't."
"We need to find another way out!" Pidge intervened on the screen, followed by the four other paladins.
Nakia dismissed her screen off her working space and walked up to Coran. "Coran, what is our location?"
"I'm trying to think while defending! I can't tell any of this!" Coran nearly cried under the massive pressure of the attack.
"We are in the Zingus Quadrant." Clara said bluntly. "Why?"
"We are going home."
"What?!" everyone said out loud.
"Nakia, I said I am not in shape to make a jump. My arm is injured." Allura tried her best to not yell. "I can't do anything."
"Coran told us even without your assistance, the castle can manage at least one long jump with your energy running into the castle." Coran looked at the mage shocked. She had studied a lot about the power-ups of the castle and had done her homework.
"I can't believe you read the whole 400 pages of the castle's holographic manual!" Coran proudly said, only to turn back to his panic state when they got massively hit. Everyone grunted at the shake. "The only thing we need is the minimum energy you have left for a small jump to the right constellation of stars. After that, I will take over."
Allura complied to her demand. The girls helped the princess, holding her up. The princess warned the paladins to be ready for the jump. In a blink of an eye, they were gone from the cruise ship's map.

Wieder threw his glass at the wall. He was fed up from his last meeting with the exiled prince of the Galra; Lotor. His team tried to sabotage his efforts to restore the body. Walking to the druids' lab, he stopped by the prison cells where many children and teenagers in Galra prisoner's gowns were shaking in fear. No wonder. Experiments were his priority in this reality. Anything to make a greater weapon to please the Emperor of the Galra nation. That is if the half Altean prince wouldn't put his nose where he was going every time. Like his own kind, he won't leave any plans or coordinates to show the portal he used ten deca-phoebs ago after following a Kageruna over to the Mirror World.
