The Silver Paladin

The Alternate Reality

~~~~Saoirse~~~~

I was completely surprised by the title I was given by Commander Hira. I guess in this reality I was a little more important to others. But if that's the case, why did the other me, Roisin, seem scared to see the other Alteans?

She was half Altean too, right? So why did she not want to see them?

"Empress, Angel come with me. I want to tell you about what has happened these past 10,000 years." Hira said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I suppose in the meantime, if any of you are willing, I would like your aid in unlocking the secrets of the cargo that is locked inside this ship." The other Altean said.

With caution, the group split up into two groups. Pidge, Hunk, and Lance went with the male Altean, who later introduced himself as Rilas, to find the comet stored in the ship's cargo hold.

Meanwhile, Allura, Keith and I went with Hira, where she would tell us about the past.

But I never shook off the bad feeling in my gut, or the burning sensation my scar gave off.

These Alteans weren't right. They were.....

Strange.

~~~~Pidge~~~~

After parting ways with Allura, Keith and Saoirse, Rilas and his strange alien companion to the cargo hold, where a large comet was being stored.

I went to my lion and flew into the storage to get a closer look at the comet. It was black with blue light emanating from it. Funny thing was that after seeing the blue color, all I could think about was Saoirse's eyes. They were the same shade.

"This is the comet Commodore Trayling must've been talking about in his transmission." I said flying closer to the comet, "It seems to be caught between two realities, just like the ship."

"Could you obtain a sample for us with your lion?" Rilas asked.

"I can try." I replied. I landed on the comet and used my Lion's sharp teeth and strong jaws to grab a small piece of the comet. When I was done, I brought it back to Rolas and the others to examine it.

I scanned the comet piece as fast as I could and once I saw the results, I was astonished.

"Amazing." I said, "It's Voltron."

"What?" Lance exclaimed, clearly shocked and confused by my statement.

"I mean, it's not Voltron, obviously, but the readings from this comet are the same ones Zarkon was searching for. The same ones that led us to the Blue Lion." I explained.

"That's how you were able to pass through to this reality." Rilas said smiling, "Your vehicle was made from the same trans-reality material."

"So that's why Voltron's so powerful." Hunk said.

"Yes, but you also have the Angel of the Alteans with you, so there must be more to it than that." Rilas said, "With this material and the return of our Angel, Altea can create their own trans-reality traveling ships. We can spread our peace and stability to all realities."

Rilas pressed a button on his gauntlet and contacted Commander Hira, who's face appeared on a holo-screen.

"Commander Hira, I have just stumbled across something in this ship's hold that will ensure Altea's rule for millennia to come." He sais happily, but I looked at him curiously.

He seemed to know more about what Saoirse is than we do.

"Um, excuse me, Rilas?" Hunk said, "But, what is the Angel of the Alteans? You said that Saoirse had something to do with Voltron being so powerful. What do you mean by that?"
