Hi! So just a heads up, I have bad editing skills, which I'm sure you've already noticed, and I often moved from present tense to past tense, so from now on, it's just going to be past tense.

"So there are Galra out there that aren't loyal to Zarkon?" Keith asked.

"Have I not been saying that the whole time!" Harmony said to no one in particular.

"We thought expanding the Galra Empire would bring stability. We learned too late that a tyrant doesn't seek stability, only power."

"I know all too well how that feels," Harmony said quietly, not knowing that Keith heard her. He looked up at her, but she was only looking forward.

"With our members working on the inside, planning coordinated attacks with Voltron, we may finally have a chance," Ulaz said as Keith walked over, joining the rest of the group.

"So, you have agents working within Zarkon's ranks?" Hunk asked.

"How do you think you got away from Zarkon in that last fight? Do you think those shields around Zarkon's command center went down on their own? We've got people risking their lives in this war, just like you," Ulaz explained. 'So he was a member of a resistance. And this one to be exact.' Harmony thought to herself, thinking of the lieutenant she saw at Emperor Zarkon's main ship. 'I've got to stop thinking of him as 'Emperor' Zarkon. He's just Zarkon now.' Harmony reminded herself.

"If you have people on the inside, can they tell me where my family is? They were taken the same time Shiro was," Pidge asked, looking for any information she could. Harmony understood her pain more than anyone else. But she doesn't speak out about that.

"I knew other's from Earth were captured. I never saw them, but I have some records of Galra prisoners here. I can transmit them to your ship," Ulaz tells her.

"What's that weapon you carry?" Keith asked. Ulaz took it out and held it out to Keith.

"It's a ceremonial blade that each member of our order carries," he explained.

"Hm, nice." Harmony could tell that there was more to that then Keith was letting on. He froze when he saw that blade. Harmony was going to ask him about it, when the alarm started going off.

"Oh, no!" Ulaz exclaimed. A large Galra looking ship was heading towards them. "You were tracked!"

"What? Us?" Pidge asked, as if being tracked was the most impossible thing in the Universe.

"If Zarkon knows we're here, it's because you ratted us out," Keith said.

"Keith! Ulaz wouldn't do that!" Harmony contradicted.

"And how would you know that?"

"Because I trust him!"

"And that's supposed to mean something?" Harmony froze, very much taken back.

"It's another one of Zarkon's robot... beast... ro-beasts!" Hunk said. Harmony turned her head toward him.

"Another one?! You mean, you've fought these before!?"

"Yes. We have to get back to the ship," Shiro said.

"Shiro, wait. These are instructions on how to reach the Blade of Marmora headquarters. Before you go, find out how Zarkon is tracking you. If you lead him there, our entire underground network, everything we've spent centuries building, will be lost."

"I knew he cannot be trusted!" Allura said over the speakers in the Red Lion.

"How many times do I have to say this?! It wasn't him!" Harmony yelled, so fed up with all of this.
