Letting go from their hug, the girls lifted their heads after hearing Allura's voice on the communication speakers in the living room. Everyone was asked to meet on the bridge. The Squad noticed that they had managed to get out of a wormhole while they were venturing back to the central room of the Castle of Lions.

"The coordinates that Laneila and Clara were able to gather with the help of Pidge for the computer room were right. We have jumped out at the right comet field near the headquarters where we need to be," Coran said with an enthusiastic tone, wiping a fake happy tear from his eye.

Closing in by a few moons of a planet, they hid there in orbit. From their perspective, they were able to see the base. Some Galran cruisers were lifting off and another was about to dock. Pidge had been able to track the cruiser's next trip; Zarkon's main command center. It was their chance to have a look and find the emperor and end his tyranny.

Pidge stopped everyone with her reasoning. "The Squad's only been back for a few hours. Now it's our part to play. We will go aboard their hideout and take everything we need to locate Zarkon's whereabouts."

"Pidge is right." Shiro looked at the Squad with a concerned frown. "You need to rest until then. We will make sure everything is secured. If something happens, you leave and we will meet elsewhere."

"But Shiro--" Clara was cut short by Allura.

"I will go with you." She said. The crew turned around to look at her in pure shock.

"There is no way you are going, Princess. It is too dangerous." Coran said.

"I agree with Coran." Shiro said with his hands held up in surrender. "We don't know what could happen to you if you ever get caught... I don't think they favor alive Alteans at this very moment."

Allura frowned, slightly offended. "I'm more built to fight than anyone aboard this ship with all of you united." The boys and girls groaned.

"Allura does have a point... She has the strength..." Roe said scratching the back of her head.

"The skill of leadership..." Leila pointed out, feeling the eyes of Lance on her back.

"She is the only one able to make the castle move..." Clara also said.

Waiting for a fourth voice to speak, all the eyes were on Nakia. She stiffens with a slight trouble look. She didn't know what to say at this point.

"They went over the prioritized points... I don't have anything to add." The Demelvian replied.

Coran had been left with the Squad in the command room where he would be supervising the Paladins and the Princess, which he finally gave in to letting her go. An hour had passed since their departure.

It took a short while before they were tracking the cruiser leaving the port of the supply headquarters. Coran took a closer look to make sure everything was alright. The alarm was quick enough to catch them off guard as they heard yelling through the helmets of the boys.

"Get back to the castle! We need to go after them!" Pidge shouted.

"What about Shiro and Allura!? They are still inside the cruiser! We have to go after them." Hunk said with a distressed tone. It made the blood run cold in the Squad's bodies. They were standing there, not knowing what to do.

"What's goin on--" Coran was pushed away from his station of work where Leila and Clara started to type away quickly on the Altean keyboard to find the coordinates of the cruiser leaving their field of view soon taking to high speed of light.

"The coordinates are already in our hands." Clara said as she appeared in everyone's screen of their lions.

"Good, see you in a few." Keith said.
