Shattered Dreams (Voltron Fanficition)

Adjustment

Amara is the first to wake. She quickly runs to a mirror and looks at her changes. Besides a darker scale tone and the Purple Dragon markings and a jem in her back. Nothing besides a white streak in her hair. Shiro awakes up next. He quickly stops himself from falling but Amara catches him and drags him to the mirror.
Wings. Horns. A tail. Scales here and there. Great, I'm a half dragon with prosthetic arm. Shiro thinks assessing.  Black Markings and a small crystal on my black. "No, way! It's not possible. They went extinct way too long ago!" Amara says in total shock. I soon notice the black and white pattern and look at Amara. She is apart of my team so I order gently, "What is it?". Amara nods and says it, "Balance Dragon. It is a prefect mixture of Life and Death dragons. They were too strong so all they were slaughtered so no Empire or Solar system can get them." Amara looks at the floor, "This could be bad in two possibilities. One would be you being captured. Two would be another war going off because of you.". Shiro's eyes widen. War after him? War started because of him? He won't let it HAPPEN. Hunk is the second to wake. Amara smiles. "Hunk you're a half galaxy dragon. Lance is part aquatic because of his ability to shift to a merman and his water abilities." Amara explains as Lance wakes. He has gills and webbings with some scales here and there. His blue markings match the pearl on his forehead. Hunk and Lance stare at their new permanent appearances. "How will my family recognize me, now?" Lance thinks sadly to himself. "I'm absolutely like camouflage outside!" Hunk says while playing with his camo abilities as a half Galaxy Dragon. Pidge and Allura wake up next. Allura wakes to hear the screams of worry but Pidge doesn't. She scans that she was in a healing pod. "Pidge! Are you okay!" Shiro asks. Allura gets out with the help of Shiro. Allura soon catches Pidge. "Guys What. Are. You. Saying?" Pidge says feeling the ringing in her ear. Her mouth is torn. She coughs up blood as she speaks. Amara grabs Pidge and heads to the surgical room. Allura, Lance, Hunk and Shiro following her. Amara checks Pidge's pulse. "Steady but she's weak." Amara says to the worry of Allura as Pidge passes out. "Like I said. Lance hand me the dental mirror." Amara says to the obeying order from Lance. He hands it. Amara presses a few things on the thing before opening Pidge's mouth and looking at her vocal cords. She goes radio silent. She places the mirror back. She soon looks at the ears. Revealing the hideous wounds to the growls of her teammates. "Worst. Those alien monsters." Amara spats. Her left eye hidden but glowing bright black. Shiro stares at her. "Please tell us her condition." Shiro says looking down. "Simple, when she wakes up, She can't hear or speak anymore." Amara hisses. A weight smashed in this room. Allura covers her mouth and cries. Shiro holds her. Lance let's tears fall down fast while Hunk is silent staring at Pidge. "She can see better. X-Ray vision, Flame Vision, Code vision, nature. Her body adapted. I don't more about vision until she wakes up. She can run faster. She can sense vibrations. Kieth from I can tell can't see anymore but that's a hunch.". Krolia looks at the floor. "So he can't see anymore. I see, Krolia. Now let's make Zarkon pay." Amara says. The tears soon went silent in agreement. "Let's stare the first problem. I need a Paladin in the Castle of Dragons. I'm going to wormhole with them to an life empty galaxy so I can demonstrate what I'm going to show." Amara says sharply. Allura flinches but nods. Lance volunteers.
It's within a matter of seconds. Amara leads Lance to a hangar full of ships. She places in a fighter. She makes him launch and walks to the control room. She says over the intercoms, "Today's demo, how Zarkon is tracking you.". Allura is shock as the Castle of Dragons' defenses attack Lance. A blast is about to destory the fighter pod Lance is in when Blue is right there shielding him. Amara sends the blast to a planet inside. It blasts right through destroying it. Amara turns off the defenses and lets Lance, the damaged fighter pod and the Blue Lion back in. Her eyes glowing a radiant black. Lance shivers staring at her. Amara heads straight to the pod and fixes it with many updates. She turns back to find Lance. "I'm sorry for almost killing you. But what Zarkon is doing to track you is about to become serious. It involves a life. I won't see anymore of my teammates lives be damaged further." Amara says coldly masking her tear stained face. Lance notices it however. He senses her sadness and anger. One he can't blame her. Technically she is now apart of Voltron. Allura is too but she always was. Everyone just kinda accepted her because she was helping Kieth and Pidge but now she really is apart of Voltron. Allura is supportive but she can't really relate to Amara like Lance could at this moment. Amara has seen some things happen that are worst then destroying a planet full of nothing. She seen a place that she loved since she was a child destroyed but she is a teen. Lance is still a teen. Amara is 16 and saw somethings that Lance wishes to never see but she can't stand there and watch anymore. As a slave all she could do was watch but now she's apart something that can stop the madness. Lance can tell that she won't ever sit and watch a SINGLE life be destroyed. She won't pull a trigger with no emotions like a the Galra Empire. Like Voltron, she'll only pull if it's absolutely necessary. Many missions Lance has pulled the trigger of his bayard with regret but he had to survive. Amara's different. She won't hesitate to pull to live. To truly live. That is something that Lance has a respect for. They wormhole back.
Shiro yells. Hunk scolds. Allura yells. Coran asks questions. Krolia and Ulaz stand there waiting. One. Two. Three. Amara holds up her hand. They go silent. Lance holds her shoulder. "You think I would just do that without really having a good reason to. I did it so my point got across. Shiro, Zarkon is tracking Voltron through the Black Lion. With me gone. He's going to go through a specific file. That will make you'd life be in danger but real. Now do you know why I did it." Amara states. Fear ripples through Lance. That's the life. "How?" Shiro asks ruffly. Amara heads to the computer and brings up the file. "During my time in the Central Command. Zarkon was demanding on the locations of the lions and the Legend. I was scouring the galaxies to find ways and organizational ways to locate and capture the lions. So for a while, I was the one who made all the clocks tick on your captures and staged attacks. Hence if you left me behind, I would still be your number one enemy and ally in Central Command. Ally because I knew Kieth was the Legend of Voltron when I was 7. Kieth was at the age of 10 at the Galaxy Garrison when I could have sent a Galra Unit to capture Kieth and take over Earth. Your welcome." Amara says sharply like a blade. Krolia stares at her with some gratitude. Shiro bites back his shock. Allura feels tense. "The file is the Voltron file isn't it?" Allura says in some bits of fear. "No, Voltron is a book of coordinated files. The file we're looking at is the Black Lion. For the Black Lion, I knew that the Paladins and the Lions have a bond like soul-siblings so I began experimenting. What if a Paladin could bond with their lion galaxies away? This experiment requires a ritual from the Druids and Haggar with the Paladin. Zarkon. Lance just proved none of that was needed. Just the Paladin. I knew this as well so I doubled check the file. Zarkon wanted my experiment but always something bigger. How about entering anytime the Black Lion's conscious? How about controlling the Black Lion's will? How about controlling it's new Paladin's will?" Amara says sending a spear of stress in the room. "I warned him about the dangers of this however. A lion can't be controlled, it's a living creature in a ships' engine. Nor can a Paladin be controlled immediately. It takes many times of entering the Conscious and hard fought power gaining in order to strip the will of two living creatures through their bond. If their bond was strong enough, they could work together to banish him permanently and ridding him of all bonds and future bonds to Voltron and its lions. Of course, he didn't listen. That is where we get him. But first I need to know. Shiro are you getting any sleep?" Amara says staring at the file showing the experiment. Lance has totally forgiven her so has everyone else. Allura is stressed out under layers of calm anger. Hunk is biting up his worry with all the strength he has. "At least 5 hours but that's average." Shiro shrugs. "Well at least it didn't hit 3 because this means Zarkon is more focused on controlling the Black Lion and not you." Amara says calmly while Allura screams, "How is that better?! I will not allow that MONSTER to control anything in these Castles!". Amara slaps her forehead, "Allura, think clearly for 5 seconds. If he controlled Shiro. He has complete access to the Black Lion and Voltron anyway! It would be like he won the war from the moment it started! Fun Fact! You can't control someone for a long period of time without completely breaking any sense of free will or they die on the inside. So I'm happy that fate didn't happen to my team leader. An example is those creatures protecting my sister's healing pod. She blood blended with a mixture of nerve bending. It shattered their free will completely because she didn't hold back to save you, Shiro. I taught her that type of bending because I invented it.". Amara's voice is an ice like breath. Allura is quiet in her shock. Amara invented other types of bending. What is she? That is crazy. Amara heads to the Castle of Dragons. Lance heading after her. Allura processes this. Allura soon runs after them with Hunk. Shiro runs after Allura. Coran heads to Pidge's room to look after her. Krolia heads to Kieth's room to see what she misssed in his life. Amara stares at her lab. "No distractions. Being apart of a team is much more fun then being alone. I have to check on the dragons and make sure they're okay. I hope Ulaz sends a message soon. He still has Lulu." Amara mutters to herself. She's already trancing a design. "Hmm, there should probably be more then bayards on the Paladins at all times. I think they'll won't mind if I make them another weapon to carry. I'll start on the sharpshooters. Lance, Hunk and Allura." Amara mutters to herself again tracing a design. She begins building the weapons singing a song that the rest of Voltron hides to listen while recording it.
