Voltron, the legendary defender and the lost empress

Chapter 8 storm eye

Narrates Raya

We looked in shock at the great fleet in front of us, it had appeared out of nowhere after our hard battle and honestly, I was too tired to even tremble in fear to see the ship that was home to the greatest tyrant in the history of the universe.

"Zarkon! How did you find us?" Allura asked staring at the large ship.

"His commanders must have radioed him from Olkarion." Keith said.

"We need to make a wormhole now! Everyone to their stations. We have to put some distance between us and Zarkon. This could be the fight of our lives" Shiro ordered

I ran to my post and sat down with Ally standing next to me. Activating my screen and measuring the energy readings shared with Coran's console. And we were low on energy, like we didn't have enough problems so far

The castle shook when several fighters began to attack us

"That's really a lot of fighters, "Hunk said fearfully.

"Allura, can you evade these fighters? We cannot allow them to follow us through the wormhole" Shiro asked

"I can test" Allura said, starting the ship's engines. I furiously tapped the holo-keys on my screen, finding out what I could about the Castle's energy levels. Our particle barrier energy was low and our base defenses were reduced by 45%.

Are you sure this was the incredible battle castle of the incredible Voltron? Because to me when it comes to battle, this thing was complete garbage.

"Keith, Lance, let's set up some cover fire" Shiro said

In front of Keith and Lance, holographic controls appeared allowing them to control small drones equipped with powerful lasers.

New energy signals appeared on my screen, showing me how much power the drones had and I could feel my mind starting to tide over so many different numbers and letters.

"Lance, they are approaching 12 o'clock!" I announced, trying to focus

"Got it" Lance affirmed and aimed his drones at the attacking fighters, but before he attacked, Keith's drone pushed him aside and fired instead "hey!"

"Sorry, you must be faster" Keith scoffed

"What do you think of this speed?" Lance asked sarcastically, pushing Keith's drone, annoying him.

"You!" Keith grunted and the two drones began to collide with each other in a funny way, causing Ally to give a little laugh at the situation, while I rolled my eyes at her very childish attitude.

"Enough already, both of you, respect your space" Shiro scolded them.

"Yes Keith!" Lance yelled

"Hunk, Raya, how are the defenses?" Shiro asked

Hunk and I did not rub our eyes, as we could not see clearly due to the lack of sleep that was beginning to affect us, especially me.

"I don't know. Ten percent? Fifteen maybe? Everything is blurry. I've been awake too long. My eyes are tired! Raya?" Hunk stuttered, looking straight at me

"Oh I don't know, I think my head is going to explode from so many numbers" I complained, blinking several times and looking away to give my eyes a little rest.

"Don't give up Raya, focus" Ally encouraged

"I know we just got out of an intense battle, but we have to stay focused, just until we jump" Shiro continued

"And when is that?" Keith asked

"They're still too close! We need to gain more speed!" Shouted Coran
