Not too far away from the Castle of Lions, where a party was being held, was Sendak, The Ambassador, and Haxus.

"Commander Sendak, the sentries are in position around the Arusian village," Haxus updated.

"Luck is on our side. Look, the Castle defenses are down. The door is wide open," responded The Ambassador. Because of the cyber mask he wore, his voice was changed, as to not allow anyone to recognize him with it on.

"With all these Arusians coming in and out, it should be nothing for you to infiltrate Haxus," said Sendak.

"I may not have to. Look. The small one has a Galra drone they've repurposed. If I can just get close enough to clone it's signature code, I can send our bomb drone in undetected," Haxus said.

"I knew you would not disappoint me, Haxus," replied Sendak. Haxus looked over to The Ambassador with a smug look on his face.

"Don't look at me like that! You had one good idea. That's nothing compared to how many I have!" The Ambassador retaliated.

"You're just jealous!" Haxus replied.

"I am not jealous! You've always been the jealous one!"

"You're acting like a child!"

"I am not! You are!"

"You're both acting like children. Get going Haxus," commanded Sendak. And with that, Haxus took off.

Once the little Paladin came outside, Haxus was able to make their bomb drone look just like the drone the little one had. The Ambassador was sent out to find the perfect time to strike. While hiding, The Ambassador found a group of the Paladins and the long lost Altean princess arguing.

"Pidge, no," said the tall one in black, referring to the little one.

"The download from the Galra ship was enough to at least get me in the right direction to start my search. I have a pod already to go," responded the little green one.

"You can't leave," said the one in red armor. The Ambassador recognized him as the one he had fought.

"You can't tell me what to do!" retaliated the little green one.

"If you leave, we can't form Voltron. And that means we can't defend the Universe from Zarkon," 'Good luck with that' The Ambassador thought. "You're not the only one with a family. All these Arusians have families. Everyone in the Universe has families." 'I'm not so sure about that'.

"Yeah, I have a family. They live on Earth. I want to be with them. Is that, like, a thing that could happen?" asked that big one in yellow.

"You want to leave, too?" asked the long lost princess.

"Of course I do! Look, Voltron is super-cool, don't get me wrong, but I never signed up for a lifetime in space, fighting aliens." 'Neither did I, and look where I am now'. Then the red one seemed to just explode.

"You're putting the lives of two people over the lives of everyone else in the entire galaxy!" he yelled, envasing on the little green one.

"Keith, that's not how a team works. People have to want to be a part of it. They can't be forced," the one in black stepped in. 'Really? Then why am I here?' "If you want to leave, we won't try to stop you. But, please, just think about what you're doing," he pleaded.

"I'm sorry. You're going to have to find someone else to pilot the Green Lion." And with that, the little green one walked away.

"I can't believe it. This team is falling apart. How will we ever form Voltron?" sighed the princess. Suddenly, there was an explosion sound and the castle began to shake. 'Just in time. I must inform Sendak'. The Ambassador raced back to Sendak.

"Sendak, the plan worked, they're defenceless," The Ambassador reported.

"Good. Haxus, get the sentries ready, it's time."

They marched up to the castle, while the sentries were activated at the Arusian village. The man in black was walking by the entrance of the castle with someone else in blue on his shoulder. 'If he's hurt, why take him outside? What's that gonna do?' The one in black stops, putting down his friend, and runs out to stop Sendak.

"Stand aside," said Sendak.

"No. You're not getting in," the one in black said. 'I can't decide if he's brave, or just stupid'. Then his hand started glowing purple. 'So he has a robotic arm. Well if he knows how to use it, I guess he's brave with a side of stupidity.'

"Yes, I am," responded Sendak.

And with that, the two started fighting. Sendak was obviously winning. But the man in black actually started to attack, instead of flailing around like before. This impressed The Ambassador.

"I see you spent some time with the druids. They do love to experiment," observed Sendak. 'You have no idea'. "Too bad you didn't get the latest model." And with that, he sent the man flying back. The two began to fight once more. While The Ambassador took hold of the guy in blue. The fight ended, each with their hands at each other's throats.

"Let him go, or your friend won't make it!" The Ambassador announced, throwing the guy down on the floor. Sendak gave him one last punch.

"Voltron is ours."

There was a slight rustling noise above them. The Ambassador's head shot up, looking where he heard the noise.

"What is it?" Sendak asked. After staring for a bit, The Ambassador responded, "Nothing, probably just the air vents." and continued walking.

As they were heading toward the bridge to instal the crystal, The Ambassador walked up to Sendak, walking beside him.

"You just had to get that last punch didn't you?" he asked, in a playful tone, looking up at Sendak. Sendak smirked, just a little.

"I guess one could say that," Sendak responded, letting out a little humor. The Ambassador let out a short laugh, a bit distorted because of the cyber mask. Haxus, behind them grunted.

Once they got to the bridge, they connected the crystal to the castle.

"Power up the castle," commanded Sendak. The castle lit up again, but with purple lights instead. "The Lions are all in their bays. Raising particle barrier. Begin launch sequence."

After said things were done, Sendak said, "Make contact with Emperor Zarkon." Haxus did as he was told. The Ambassador stood beside Sendak. Emperor Zarkon popped up on the screen.

"Sendak, Ambassador," Emperor Zarkon said.

"Our mission is complete," The Ambassador stated.

"We've captured the Altean Castle, along with the Voltron Lions. We are currently preparing for launch, and will be delivering them all to you shortly," continued Sendak.

"This news is most pleasing. You have done your duty. Vrepit Sa!" Emperor Zarkon responded, much to the liking of Sendak and The Ambassador.

"Vrepit Sa!" Sendak and The Ambassador responded. And with that, Zarkon left.

"Haxus, ready the castle for takeoff," said Sendak.

"Yes, Commander." The Ambassador walked over to the unconscious prisoners, bending down to examine them. 'I've seen these faces before' he thought as he lifted the one in black's head. 'I know I have. If only I could remember'.

"Run main cluster activation sequence," The Ambassador said. Haxus grunted, but did as he was told. He never liked The Ambassador, and especially did not like taking orders from him.

"Activation sequence initiated. Powering up for launch."

"Commander Sendak, Ambassador, we are ready for launch," Haxus updated. We started taking off, but something stopped us.

"Haxus, what's going on?" The Ambassador asked.

"That main engine just shorted out." Sendak walked to the control panel to see what was going on. It appeared that someone had gotten in the castle and stopped the castle from taking off.

"We have a saboteur. Find him and take him out," Sendak told Haxus.
