Welcome To The War 》 Voltron

Chapter 26

~Somewhere in space~

Ferin opened his eyes.

How...

How long had he been out?

Where was Starlin?

Slowly, the lieutenant sat up in his bed.

Why did he feel different?

"Star?...", he called out.

Ferin's hand snapped to his mouth. His voice was deeper than he imagined.

The door to his cell slid open, revealing Haggar on the other side.

Ferin dived down to one knee in front of her, giving his superior the proper respect.

"Mistress!", he cried out anxiously,  "The Princess isn't here! We must find my baby sister!"

Haggar scowled.

Lifting her hand, she blasted him.

Ferin reeled back, his eyes wide and yellow with pain.

She released him from the blast, dropping him to the floor.

"You were delusional", she rasped, "Get back to your mission. "

"Yes Mistress", he growled.

Ferin rubbed his head.

What was I just thinking about?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Starlin had her eyes closed.

She was listening to the footsteps of humans on the pavement.

For some reason she was thinking of her brother.

What would our lives be like if Ferin hadn't have changed?

Azalea would've never died.

Keith wouldn't have gone through his horrific stage of mourning.

Where would the twins even be?

Peter Brandon...

Peter Brandon would be safe.

I would have both of my loving brothers.

Alas, the universe is cruel.

Skipper clung onto Hunk's hand.

The nightclub was bursting with people.
It was driving her anxiety through the roof, but the comforting grip of the yellow paladin kept her sane.

Shiro tapped on the security guard's shoulder.

"We're here to see The Electric Girl", he announced.

The guard scratched his scruffy chin.
"Umm... she's not here."

"What?!", Skipper asked, enraged.

"Calm down", the guard snapped, "She went home with her mother."

"Mother?! Her mother is dead!"

"... Well that's a problem,  then."

OH SHIT NEW ANTAGONIST?
