I DO WANNA ASK!! WHAT OTHER PENS DO YOU USE BISCUIT⁉️

YAYYYYYY YIPPEEEEEEEE TEE HEE

WELL!!!

i may as well start with a more recent acquisition, the zebra sarasa clip, specifically the milk color set in 0.5 mm. jetpens shills HARD for zebra sarasa clips. anyway theyre mid as hell and are not representative of the gel pen experience - cheaper pens in novelty shapes write better than the zebra clips, but they do have a very nice almost pencil-y tactile feel because of it. in plain text, they're scratchy. the colors are wonderful though, EXCEPT for that damn white gel pen... if you wanna go really matte with your white pens or be able to write on dark paper, get a gelly roll or use a paint pen because god damn the zebra sarasa pens are TRANSPARENT AS FUUUUCK despite being advertised as being able to write on dark paper clearly. SCAM!!!!!!! but i do really like the colors and when i want a more pencily feel i go for them. they also make really fine, textured lines, which is nice for getting your crunch on (making ur art look purposefully crusty)

also. i am a believer in the tombow brush pens. my school had a sketchbox subscription they kept forgetting to cancel and so they had a few of them laying around and me and the other art girl were always passively slapfighting for them with psychic mind games. i finally bought one for myself and despite me usually not liking brush pens...... lads... its good.... its one of the first brush pens i've had that doesn't fray after using it like three times. so i can actually use it for fine AND thick lines without having to work around the shitty nib. looking at you faber-castell brush nib.

i have a couple different fineliners (felt tipped, water based ink) and theyre pretty alright. le pens are a great choice for writing, not so much for drawing. i like the staedler tripluses a lot, they're just handy for workhorse writing and consistent thin lines. stabilo point 88s are also good. i cant really tell the difference between fineliners a lot of the time because they're all very similar, le pens are the most distinct ones i've used because of their softer tips. you have to really baby fineliners so the tip doesnt get squished which kind of makes them a pain to use. oh also i used to love the faber-castell pitt artist pens for their consistent lines and firmer nibs but god damn they do NOT play nice with other art supplies. and as someone who swaps between mediums a lot it just isnt. ideal.

i used to be a rollerballhead but i've fallen in love with gel pens... they may smear easily but god damn are they goopy........... fuck yeah...... i'm SUPER biased towards gelly rolls just because i'm the most familiar with them, but they're super fun for doodling and have really vibrant colors!!! i also like them because sakura was the first company to make gel pens in the 80s - gel pens are super recent compared to other writing tools which i think is cool as fuck. theyre like. the future...... plus theyre just a smoother writing experience. shitty gel pens are 10000x better than shitty ballpoint pens. the pilot g2 is the best of any commonplace office pen fuck everybody else pilot g2 is my best friend

microns are fine i guess. i used to like them more in middle school but they're so sensitive to getting smushed that using them comes with Fear. i've never smushed one before, but i HAVE had friends ruin my microns when i lend one to them for like five seconds. i think they're copic-proof which is why people like them? i dunno. they're prone to fraying, the nibs just arent very good compared to other options

i REALLY wanna try a pilot frixion but i havent gotten any yet, i plan on buying a set early next year! they're erasable pens that use heat and friction from a rubber eraser to disappear the ink, which is super cool. but a warning: because they're heat sensitive (and their ink comes back when exposed to temperatures under 14 degrees fahrenheit!) the ink can all activate in the pen and become transparent if you leave it in a hot car. or your notes can disappear if you leave them in a hot car and you'll have to pop them in the freezer to get them back

OH OH OH OH i have generic brand paint markers (tooli-art) and they're great until they explode. i use the white one a lot because it's handy to have what is essentially a pen of white-out on hand, but i don't use the colored ones nearly as often because they're messy and...... a few of them have kind of exploded at the nib which makes them drooly and gross. the only posca i have is a brush one and the brush poscas are shittáy

i feel like i forgor something but this isnt a fountain pen rant this is about my other ones. enjoy

The Spidey Squad Playing Among Us

Masterlist

Welp, this game is all the rave all of a sudden and irdk how since the game's pretty much been here forever lol but it's still fun so I had to jump on the bandwagon and here we are! Make sure you check go out @chaoticpete's new fic. Anyways here it is! If this gets enough likes I might do an avengers headcanon too.

Thanks to @angelsparkers for helping me realize I wasn't writing complete garbage and helping me to get through it even though she didn't even know she was doing that. So yeah thanks for that.

Peter

Crewmate: Peter is that crewmate that will 100% call you out on your bs, because he knows the game a little too well for you to be able to pull anything over him(because of all that free time waiting on patrol). You think all that stuff with the avengers didn't teach him strategy? Ha! This guy is PEAK detective. Gets his tasks done fast and when he's done is probably spending his time monitoring people on security or vitals. It only took him like 2 weeks to memorize all the maps and where everything is, so if you say you were in navigation, you better believe he's gonna ask you what task you were doing there. And if you don't answer to his liking, Peter will sound the "sus" alarm on you in two point five seconds and have everyone voting you out. He's probably the only person that could figure out MJ when she's the impostor. So if you're the impostor, watch your words and make sure your alibis are strong cuz little Petey ain't playin' no games. Definitely gets attacked from time to time by those people that are always like "sMaRt PpL rUiN tHe GaMe"

Impostor: He's pretty much the most average impostor. Sometimes he doesn't know what to say when people call him sus and he'll get voted out because he's being "too quiet" or because Ned keeps defending him. He'll mess up every now and then but for the most part, he's pretty decent. His style is usually to stay in the vents most of the game and kill when only one person's around. He probably bribes Ned to not rat him out by promising him that he won't kill him.

Name: It used to be just Peter, but soon he wanted an actual cool name so he chose Sherlock because of all the times when he was "too smart" and won the game too quickly and people would go "pack it up Sherlock" and vote him out.

Favorite color to be: It used to be red, but he quickly found that the more he was red the more people found him "sus" so now he's usually either blue or cyan

Ned

Crewmate: Pretty average crewmate. 80% of the time is covering for Peter, even if Peter is the impostor. Won't do much calling people out unless he's absolutely sure that he saw a kill or vent. Pretty chill and easily persuadable. You'd definitely want him on your team. If he ever gets wrongfully ejected he's the one that pitifully tries to plead his case saying stuff like "what???" and "guys it's not me!!!!" which doesn't really convince anyone and just makes him look more guilty. He'll still do his tasks after though.

Impostor: He's the impostor that doesn't want to be the impostor. If you're texting then maybe he can hold his own, but if you're doing voice chats, there's no way this guy is getting past ANYONE. He has so many tells that it's ridiculous. Is actually scared to vent too much because he's always paranoid that someone's gonna be right there when he jumps out. 8/10 the crewmates win when he's the imposter because he'll just kill like only two people the entire time or gets caught really early on.

Name: Probably some sci-fi reference like r2d2 or Potter

Favorite color to be: Yellow or white because he says those are the most "innocent" colors and he'll be less likely to get voted if he's those (not true but we'll let him believe it)

MJ

Crewmate: Suspicion times 100. Her motto: trust no one. Will get you kicked out in a heartbeat with a quick "trust me. if it's not them vote me next." An absolute unit but will never be caught getting emotional over a game. If she's ever wrongfully ejected her last words will be "whatever. go ahead. vote me and lose." She'll just come back in the next game with a vengeance and false accusations ready, not caring if the entire team loses because of it. She's especially dangerous to have because people usually trust her word. She always finds a way to seem the least suspicious. Though sometimes she'll get suspected because of her quiet nature. There's always that one guy that's ready to go "uR qUiEt ThAt'S sUs!!"

Impostor: If MJ is the impostor, you can just throw your whole phone away. You're not winning that game. Like, ever. She will do whatever it takes to win, even sell out her own her partner. On the off chance that you catch her being suspicious, she'll sabotage a bunch of things so that you can't call meetings and then she'll kill you when no one's around. She is ruthless and will hurt your feelings with the way that she will own everyone in the game. Hardly anyone ever expects her. Thrives on venting. You won't see her you'll just be doing a task and suddenly you'll be dead.

Name: Used to be just MJ but she got annoyed with all the people in the messages who always assumed she meant Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan so she changed it to Michelle

Favorite color to be: She literally doesn't care either way. Won't change the gameplay so why bother? Whatever color she ends up with she'll be fine.

Betty

Crewmate & Impostor: The most average player of them all. She wins some, she loses some. Nice partner to have though, because she'll never give you away. Probably the first to die most times. If she ever gets wrongfully ejected she's the one that uses her last words to say who she thinks it and doesn't even try to plead her case once it starts to look bad for her. She just finished the rest of her tasks.

Name: Probably either her name or some nickname or inside joke. Idk she just seems like the type of person to have a reference to something that absolutely nobody knows

Favorite color to be: Pink. Just because she likes pink.

Flash

Crewmate: Claims things are sus even if they aren't. Will totally be biased based on names. Anybody who knows him will never count him as a credible source. Gets voted out quickly alot because of how annoying he is in the game.

Impostor: He's the easiest to figure out. He's the impostor that obnoxiously accuses literally everyone else. And in all capital letters too. "ITS RED I STG. IF IT'S NOT HIM VOTE ME NEXT!" Calls everyone sus and always claims he's seen people running from the body. He usually self-reports and goes for the easy marks in electrical. He's not that good (even though he thinks he is) and it takes anyone with a brain to figure him out. Peter and MJ are bane of his existence in that game. If he gets wrongfully ejected he'll rage and probably leave the game like the little crybaby he is.

Name: Spideys#1 because he's really just THAT obsessed. Or when he's really feeling "teenage boy" he'll be cOchieman

Favorite color to be: Red because sPiDeRmAn'S hIs BeSt FrIeNd (ahahaha if only he knew)

May

She didn't know this game at all until Peter introduced her to it one day because he was bored. She LOVED it. He had to pry it out of her hands after she kept repeating "Hold on, one more!" So she downloaded on her phone and now she plays it whenever she's bored.

Crewmate: Average. Same as Betty.

Impostor: The way May can actually dominate being the impostor is sort of scary. And she'd always be the last person you'd expect because she just has that trusting vibe about her. Sometimes she'll mess up and give herself away, but for the most part, she's pretty good. Doesn't vent much. Just like Ned, she doesn't trust it.

Name: Madonna

Favorite color to be: She doesn't care much but she prefers to be purple, cyan, or orange

Funny Moment

Best Imposter Combos

Peter & Ned: Goes without saying. Nine times out of ten they're in the same room while playing this so they can just talk strategy to each other and take everyone out really quickly. Really annoying for everybody else, but they'll win so they're happy.

MJ & Peter: These two together are a force to be reckoned with. The second they see that they're both impostors they call each other up and get to business like they're on a mission. This stuff is serious. (More for Peter than MJ. She has to keep telling him that it's just a game.) He stays on security stuff, telling her when it's safe, and she racks up the kills. When things get heavy, they sabotage and then go on a spree. These two hardly ever lose. (When the whole squad is together whoever's in charge [if it's not Pete or MJ] usually puts the kill cooldown at max just in case these two get that they can't be at full power)

MJ & Betty: Betty isn't afraid to sacrifice herself so that they'll win and MJ is ruthless and quick with her kills. Both have the smarts to be able to be extremely persuasive and you'd hate for them to pick you to frame. Because being put against those two in the chatroom will lead you nowhere but abyss of space.

May & Peter: Parkers united. 'Nough said.

The One With The Butt: Part One

pairings: eventual joey x reader, jamie x reader

authors note: i own nothing from friends, all credit goes to their respective owners. feedback is always appreciated!

feedback is the glue that holds my writing together!

you guys had gotten invited to the play that joey was in, you were sat next to pheobe on the end,

“oh look! look, there’s joeys picture! this is so exciting!” rachel squealed, showing you all joeys picture.

“you can always spot who’s never seen one of his plays before, notice no fear, no sense of impending doom...” chandler trailed off,

“the exclamation point in the titles scares me. you know, it’s not just freud, it’s freud!” pheobe exclaims, and you giggle at her.

the lights went down as you readied yourself for joeys plays, they weren’t all bad, but they weren’t all good, don’t get yourself wrong he was a good actor, he just chose the wrong stuff to act in.

“shh. the magic is about to happen!” ross shushed everyone

“well, eva,” you heard joey say with a german accent and you sighed, knowing it was gonna be another bust. “we’ve done some excellent work here,”

you looked at pheobe and she gave you the same look before you started giggling quietly, and ross gave you a warning look which made you stop.

“and i would have to say your problem is quite clear,” joey said before stopping. a piano intro started playing before joey got up from his seat and began singing, “all you want is a dinkle, what you envy’s a schwang! a thing through which you can tinkle, or play with or simply let hang,”

you looked at ross before whispering, “now can we laugh,” and he started chuckling aswell.

the play went on for what felt like hours, you had looked through the cast around five times, pheobe nudging you to look at joeys dancing and singing at times which made you both laugh quietly, before the show was finished.

everybody on the stage took a bow before you all got up and started clapping, yelling at the cast,

“yes! excellent!”

they walked off the stage as you all groaned, sitting back down,

“oh my god, that was nauseating,” you sighed into pheobes shoulder,

“i feel violated,” rachel agreed,

“did anybody else feel like they wanted to peel the skin off their body to have something else to do?” monica asked,

“ross, 10:00,” chandler nudged ross,

“i’d it? feels like 2:00,” ross groaned,

“no, 10:00,”

“what?”

“there’s a beautiful woman at 8, 9, 10:00!” chandler sighed which made you all look in his direction and see a very beautiful woman touching up her lipstick.

“wow she is pretty,” you agreed with chandler,

“she’s amazing! she makes the women i dream about look like short, fat, bald men,”

“well, go over to her. she’s not with anyone,” monica said to him,

“oh yeah, right. and what would my opening line be? “excuse me..” chandler said before blubbering words,

“oh come on! she’s a person, you can do it,” rachel encouraged,

“oh please could she be more out of my league? ross back me up here,” chandler patted ross on the back,

“he could never get a woman like that in a million years,” ross agreed,

“thank you,”

“oh, oh! but you know you always see these really beautiful women with these really nothing guys, you could be one of those guys!” pheobe encouraged him,

“oh yeah! come on chandler, do it!” you told him.

“you think?” he asked you all,

“oh yeah!”

“oh, god. i cant believe i’m even considering this. i’m very, very aware of my tongue,”

“come on!”

“here it goes,” chandler walked away and started talking to the woman,

he started saying a few things before he started walking back over,

“chandler?” the woman asked, making him go back over,

“wow, go chandler,” you nudged monica.

joey walked out and you all said hey.

“i didn’t know you could dance!” ross said,

everybody else said stuff to him about the play,

“was it good?” he asked, hopeful. your heart hurt for the boy.

everybody was silent before they all said the same things they did before.

“come on you guys, it wasn’t that bad, i was the lead! it was better than that thing with the trolls!” he argues,

“you’re right joey, you are, come here,” you hugged him,

“did you at least like it?” he asked, still hopeful,

“i’m not gonna lie to you joe. it wasn’t the best play,” his face fell, “but! you’re a good actor i just think your always going for the wrong roles!” you said and he smiled a little,

“thanks y/n/n,” he hugged you again, before letting you go not completely and just let his arm drape around your shoulder.

“she said yes! she said yes!” chandler ran over before turning to joey, “awful play man! woah!”

you rubbed joeys back, feeling bad for him a little.

“her names aurora and she’s italian and she pronounces my name “chand-ler,” “chand-ler,” he was proud of himself you could see, “i think i like it better that way- oh listen! the usher gave me this to give to you.” he gave joey a card.

“what is it?” rachel asked,

joey read the card as his face lit up, “estelle leonard talent agency, an agency left me its card!” he smiled,

“told you,” you whispered to him and he smiled at you.

“maybe they want to sign me!” he smiled happily,

“based on this play?” pheobe asked and joey frowned, “based on this play!”

you guys were hanging out at the coffee house and jamie had joined you, and once again joey distanced himself from you and him. what the hell was his problem? it pissed you off that your bestfriend clearly didn’t like your boyfriend and didn’t even try to hide it!

“hey, kids,” chandler walked in, after his date with aurora.

“hey, chandler,” jamie said to him,

“well this line is passion, and this is just a line,” phoebe read monica’s hand,

“wow i can’t believe i’ve been here seven seconds and you haven’t asked me about my date,” chandler said,

“how was your date chandler?” everybody asked,

“yeah, chand-ler?” monica said, making you smile.

“it was unbelievable! i’ve never met anyone like her. she’s had the most amazing life! she was in the israeli army...”

“luckily, none of the bullets hit the engine block. so, we made it to the border. but just barely and i... i’ve been talking about myself all night long, i’m sorry. what about you? tell me one of your stories!” aurora said to chandler, who smiled at the woman in front of him.

“alright, once.... once, i got on the subway, right? and it was at night and i rode it all the way to brooklyn, just for the hell of it,” he said which made aurora laugh and he smiled again,

“we talked till like 2:00,” chandler said, “it was this perfect evening... more or less,”

“all of the sudden we realise we’re in yemen!” aurora exclaims,

“i’m sorry we is?” chandler asked,

“we would be me and rick,” she answered,

“who’s rick?” joey asked,

“who’s rick?” chandler asked her,

“my husband,” she answered.

“ew,” everyone groaned for chandler,

“oh, so your divorced?” chandler asked,

“no,” she said,

“oh, i’m- i’m sorry your widowed... hopefully?” he asked again,

“no, i’m still married.”

“so uh, tell me. how do you think your husband would feel about you sitting here with me, sliding your foot so far up my pant leg you can count the change in my pocket?”

“don’t worry. i imagine he’d be okay with you because really with ethan,” she giggled,

“ethan? there’s an ethan?” chandler asked,

“ethan is my... boyfriend,” she answered

“what?!” everyone exclaimed.

“explain something to me. what kind of relationship do you imagine us having if you already have a husband and a boyfriend?” chandler asked,

“i suppose, mainly sexual,” she offers.

“huh,”

“aw, i’m sorry it didn’t work out,” monica apologised,

“what not work out? i’m seeing her again on thursday,” everyone looked at him confused, “didn’t you listen to the story?”

“didn’t you listen to the story?” you asked,

“yeah, this is twisted! how could you get involved with a woman like this?” monica asked,

“i had some trouble with it at first too, but the way i look at it, i get all of the good stuff, all the fun, all the talking, all the sex and none of the responsibility! i mean this is every guys fantasy,”

“that is not true,” phoebe said, “ross, jamie, is this your fantasy?”

“no,” they both said,

you smiled at your boyfriend before kissing his cheek, he looked at ross before they both nodded their heads, “yeah, it is,”

you glared at jamie.

“maybe somebody shouldn’t be with somebody then,” joey muttered but you heard him anyways, what is his deal? you were so going to talk to him after this.

“so you guys don’t mind going out with someone else, who’s going out with someone else?” monica asks.

“i couldn’t do it,” joey says,

“good for you, joe,” pheobe says to him,

“when i’m with a woman, i need to know that i’m going out with more people than she is,” that made you sigh,

“well, you know monogamy can be a tricky concept. i mean anthropologically speaking...” everybody pretended to sleep and fake snore as ross bored everyone,

“fine, fine. now you’ll never know,” he sighs,

“we’re kidding, go! tell us,” monica says,

“all right, there’s a theory put forth by richard leakey...” and there goes everybody snoring again,

let me know if you want to be mentioned in future taglists!

Not a big fan! Hates the chantry and Andraste and the Maker and the Qun. Being raised in the circle run by templars and nuns and seeing the corruption of the church firsthand from the inside really left a bad taste in her mouth for organized religion.

21. What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate?

She has the ability to flip her manners on or off depending on who shes with. If shes comfortable then shes going to be more crass and impolite, but shes capable of really cleaning up her act and pretending to be professional if she needs to be. Her type of hero is anyone who goes against the status quo and disrupts systems of oppression- She considers Thurwen/the HOF and Hawke personal heroes (if Hawke sides with the mages) as well as Anders. Has read all of Anders manifestos and reports on Thurwen and Hawke and would geek tf out meeting them.

22. Who are their friends? Lovers? ‘Type’ or ‘ideal’ partner?

Friends are anyone who accepts her for who she is and doesnt snitch on her, people she can trust to do the right thing or atleast try to, and people she can have a good laugh with. Lovers are only a couple in the past as she needs to get to know someone well/find them interesting to want to sleep with them. Her type is large, charismatic and rugged. Anyone who looks like a good brat tamer but is also intelligent and keen. Iron Bull.

26. What does your character’s home look like? Personal taste? Clothing? Hair? Appearance?

Everything is covered in tomes and journals but theres a method to the madness. She likes to keep her things organized, surprisingly. She likes cool colors like greens and blues, likes dressing comfortably. Oversized shawls that second as blankets and loose pants. Her hair she likes to keep down with the sides pulled into little braids in front of her ears.

Felria

25. What are their hobbies and interests?

People watching and painting! She knows how to blend into a crowd pretty well or how to find a hidden vantage point where she can just sit and watch people… for hours. She finds peoples behaviors/reactions fascinating and makes little journals of interesting things she sees. Finding how other people work differently than her is vital to figuring out how best to manipulate and control them and she loves learning new ways! And painting because she has an artist's eye and enjoys beautiful things. A few bottles of blood and a quiet evening in front of an easel is a great way for her to unwind.

27. How do they relate to their appearance? How do they wear their clothing? Style? Quality?

She relates her appearance with how easily she will be able to blend in or stand out of her surroundings, and how to dress in order to play the role she wants to play. Because of her line or work (professional assassin and information gatherer) she has to have a lot of costumes available to fit the personalities she plays. Shes a performer at heart but only for herself and the joy she gets in deception. Her own style, if shes not performing, is simple reds and blacks and silvers. She keeps her hair long so shes able to do more with it.

29. What is your character’s weaknesses? Hubris? Pride? Controlling?

Her pride could definitely be her downfall as well as her curiosity. She believes shes just better and different than everybody else and that its her right to play with people as much as she wants, I can see her eventually trying to play with the wrong person. She believes she can get out of any situation by herself without help and that she deserves the finer things in life, and if someone gets in her way, they deserve whatever harm befalls them.

39. What do they like to ridicule? What do they find stupid?

She will really ridicule anything and anyone because she finds most things stupid or benign. She likes to ridicule any of the gods and aedra, and anyone who worships them. She ridicules mortals and werewolves and any other creature that's not a vampire.

Suds

23. What do they want from a partner? What do they think and feel of sex?

Back in his youth he wanted spontaneous fun, a charming and outspoken person to sweep him off his feet. He always wanted someone to take him on adventures and be dangerous and in the moment. Now? Poor guy just wants commitment and someone genuine. Hes tired of charismatic liars who he always seems to fall for. He wants someone to help tend his garden and bond with the bees. He feels that sex is a sacred thing to be shared with people you trust, not something thrown around haphazardly. Relationship and trust come first with him, and he casually waves any flirtation most of the time as if he hadn't noticed it. He's been hurt too many times to trust easily like that.

30. Are they holding on to something in the past? Can he or she forgive?

Yeah hes holding onto a long ass past full of betrayal from the people hes held dearest to him :/ He by nature is a very forgiving person and believes one must be generous in forgiveness. Hes holding onto his past hurt from Felix and cant seem to get away from it- hes forgiven him many times and each time Felix just does the same things as before.

40. How is their sense of humor? Do they have one?

A little dual natured in this aspect. Generally pretty reserved and soft with other people and can seem serious to those who dont know him. Underneath that is his reputation as a trickster- fond of pranks and revelry. The little twinkle in his eye is the only thing that would give him away as the culprit when everyone is looking for who filled a bucket of mud over Nirns chamber door. His favorite kind of jokes are the really long ones, the ones that have a seemingly normal storyline and go on forever and then end in a way where the joke is really on the person listening. And everyone around goes “AAAUUGHH!”

43. Does your character have any secrets? If so, are they holding them back?

A lot of them! Hes a very good secret keeper as hes who many people go to with their problems. After being alive so long and being somewhat involved with politics he probably knows more than a few that could take down nations, and always seems to know whats going on wherever in the world. He has his connections, his mushrooms and his bees and such have eyes everywhere. And don't tell anyone but he is an ardent fan of juicy gossip.

Nirn

21. What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate?

Impeccable manners. The posture of a God, obviously. Always eloquent and polite, knows which spoons to use for certain dishes and common diplomacy practice from all over the world. Nirn has no heroes, hes never held anyone to a pedestal or been one for hero worship. If he had to choose hed say his mother, for how graceful yet ruthless she was in politics and trade. He also does not hate anybody, he considers strong feelings a weakness and to harbor such resentment would only make him act rashly. He dislikes the slovenly, though. Not the common man but the drunken aristocrat with wine breath who gambles his savings and acts impolitely.

25. What are their hobbies and interests?

Chess and games of strategy are some of his favorites in the odd chance he has any free time. He also plays the violin and the harp and the lute, instruments he's known since he was taught them as a child. Wine tasting as well! Hes one of those mfs who can just sniff a certain drink and say with precision the date time and location it was made.

26. What does your character’s home look like? Personal taste? Clothing? Hair? Appearance?

Everything is refined and elegant with a certain air of someone who enjoys the arts. Many expensive paintings and sculptures on display. He prefers the colors red and gold and white, sometimes a darkish blue or purple. He is always dressed to impress, satin and velvet and exotic leathers. He keeps his hair long to the small of his back, or tied up in a bun. In appearance hes intimidatingly tall and knows how to stand to look even taller, does not tilt his head down to you but moreso stares down his nose.

35. Do they always rationalize errors? How do they accept disasters and failures?

Failure is only a means to greater success to him. To win a game sometimes you need to sacrifice a few pawns, etc. Takes them calmly and with little indication that hes upset at all. He usually has four or five backup plans for any endeavor, so hes able to quickly jump tactics if something isn't working. In game or battle hes typically a good sport at losing, though he very seldom does. Hed be more impressed that someone managed to make him fail, and get to thinking on how to get them in his employ.

Fate and Phantasms #45: Mata Hari

Today on Fate and Phantasms, we’re building the living embodiment of clickbait, Mata Hari! If this post ends up getting five times as many notes as normal, it’s okay, I understand. Mata Hari is another bard/rogue combination, this time mixing the college of glamour with a mastermind. She can help out in combat, but her strongest points are going deep undercover to learn an enemy’s secrets.

You can read the level-by-level breakdown below the cut, or check out the summary spreadsheet here.

Race and Background

Mata Hari is a Human(though like the Phantom, if you want to spice it up Siren is a good place to start), giving her +1 to all stats. Mata Hari is the textbook example of a Charlatan, giving her proficiency in Deception and Sleight of Hand, as well as the Disguise and Forgery kits. She also has a False Identity she can assume, complete with disguises and documentation. Furthermore, she can forge documents she has seen before.

Stats

Your highest stat is Charisma: you’re so good at charming people they literally can’t tell you’re an enemy unless they’re told so, that’s pretty charming. You’re also a dancer, which requires a lot of Dexterity (or it would if dnd stats made sense). Next is your Wisdom, a good spy needs to know when they’re being watched. Follow this with Intelligence, you’re not unusually smart, but we need to keep your physical scores as low as possible. Constitution is next, because we’re never going to dump that if at all possible. Finally, we’re dumping strength, because dex builds don’t need it.

Class Levels

1. Rogue 1: We’re starting the build as a rogue because they have the most proficiencies, and they’re ones you want. At first level, you become proficient in Dexterity and Intelligence saves, as well as Persuasion and Performance for obvious reasons, Stealth for even more obvious reasons, and Insight. You can’t string people along if you don’t know what they want.

First level rogues get Expertise in two skills, doubling their proficiency. Your Deception and Persuasion should be as strong as possible, so let’s start there. You probably won’t use your Sneak Attack that often, but it’s always there if you need some extra damage on a creature you have advantage over or an ally within 5′ of. Finally, your Thieves’ Cant lets you talk to other rogues without people catching on, assuming there are other rogues. Maybe you should coordinate with another party member.

2. Rogue 2: At second level you get your Cunning Action, letting you disengage, dash, or hide as a bonus action. Ideally the enemy won’t know you’re working against them, but a way to get out of danger without being turned into a shishkebab is always a good idea.

3. Rogue 3: At third level you become an official Mastermind, becoming a Master of Intrigue and a Master of Tactics. Master of Intrigue gives you proficiencies you already have, two languages, and the ability to mimic speech patterns and accents that you’ve heard for more than a minute. There isn’t a limit on how long you can copy an accent for, so that’s why Mata Hari started the game with a thick scottish accent, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it’s the only accent I know, shut up. As a Master of Tactics, you can Help as a bonus action, and it has a range of 30′.

4. Rogue 4: 30′ is some rookie numbers, and we can improve that by using our first ASI on the Tandem Tactician feat. This increases your helping range by 10′, and you can help two people at once if they’re targeting the same enemy. Toss in some thieves’ cant or a foreign language and you’ll be useful for your party no matter which side you appear to be on.

5. Bard 1: When you multiclass into bard, you  get one skill proficiency of your choice. Perception is a good choice-again, you need to know if anyone’s watching you before you do the whole “stealing state secrets” thing. You’re not making that mistake again.

First level bards have Spellcasting based on their charisma as well as Bardic Inspiration, a bunch of d6 you can throw at people to help them.

For spells, grab Friends, Unearthly Chorus, and Charm Person for extra charming action, Message because learning an enemy’s secrets doesn’t mean much if you can’t pass them off to your friends, Disguise Self to help you infiltrate no-humans-allowed areas, and Sleep for ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

6. Rogue 5: Your Uncanny Dodge lets you react to avoid half the damage of an attack. Getting hurt is bad, stop doing it.

7. Rogue 6: Your second round of Expertise boosts your Performance and Insight. You’re good at dancing, and stealing things from the saps watching you dance. Now you’re even better at doing both of those.

8. Rogue 7: Seventh level rogues gain Evasion, severely reducing the amount of damage you take from dexterity saving throw attacks. If you’re consorting with the enemy, some splash damage is going to hit you. Now it’ll hit you less!

9. Bard 2: You’re now a Jack of All Trades, adding half your proficiency to all nonproficient checks. You also learn how to sing a Song of Rest, adding a d6 to any healing your party does on short rests.

For your spell this level, grab Animal Friendship. Your charm might not hit most creatures, but it does work on Orion, so I’m counting it.

10. Rogue 8: Your next ASI is going to improve your Charisma for more charming and more Bard fun.

11. Bard 3: Speaking of Bard, here’s your last level in it. At third level you get Expertise in two more skills, pick Stealth and Sleight of Hand- you’re a spy, and those tend to help.

You also graduate from the College of Glamour at this level, giving you two more features. The Mantle of Inspiration lets you burn a bardic inspiration die as a bonus action to heal a couple people and let them move without causing attacks of opportunity. Is your wizard facing down a raging barbarian? Now they’re not.

You also learn to put on an Enthralling Performance, letting you charm a number of creatures once per short rest after you perform for a minute or more. They won’t fight for you unless they would anyway, but they’ll be good to you while they’re charmed.

Speaking of enthralling, Enthrall is your final bard spell. It causes any number of creatures within 60′ of you to make a wisdom save, and on a failure they have disadvantage against perceiving creatures who aren’t you. If you’re at the bar with your friends and your real friends show up, that could be a problem. This spell will keep everybody groovy for a while.

12. Rogue 9: You’re now an Insightful Manipulator, meaning if you chat up a creature for 1 minute outside of combat, you can learn two of the following characteristics: its Intelligence score, its Wisdom score, its Charisma score, or its class levels. You might also learn some of its history, and that last bit is the real goldmine here. You can’t be a fake manic pixie dream girl if you don’t know what hole in someone’s life you can pretend to fill.

13. Rogue 10: For this level’s ASI, you become a Linguist. This gives you a couple extra languages to pad out the number of countries you can pretend to be from, and more importantly lets you write down codes. Sometimes you need to talk to your party and you can’t get an opening for Message or Thieves’ Cant; this will help out.

14. Rogue 11: You now have Reliable Talent: any skill you’re proficient in will always have a roll of 10 or higher. This means your deception and persuasion rolls have a baseline of 24 that they’ll always be at or above, so your cover story is pretty much unbreakable.

15. Rogue 12: Max out your Charisma with this ASI for better lying, spells, and more inspiration.

16. Rogue 13: Thirteenth level masterminds learn Misdirection. If there’s an attack heading your way, and there’s a creature within 5′ of you between you and the attacker, you can react to make the attack hit them instead. This means if you play your cards right, your terrible AC is secretly someone else’s. Hang out around that guy in plate mail an get your party to send one attack your way each round, and he’ll be a pincushion in no time.

17. Rogue 14: You get Blindsense this level, letting you know the location of any creature within 10′ of you as long as you can hear. This isn’t particularly useful for this build, but you’re not one to turn down free things.

18. Rogue 15: You now have a Slippery Mind, giving you proficiency in Wisdom saves. Most of your stats aside from charisma aren’t great, so take what you can get.

19. Rogue 16: Use your last ASI to improve your Dexterity and Constitution. You aren’t using these that often, but if you go to stab the big bad in the back an miss, it would be really awkward.

20. Rogue 17: For your capstone level, you gain a Soul of Deceit. Your mind can’t be read unless you will it, and you can’t be magically compelled to tell the truth either. Falling into a zone of truth mid-job is a rookie mistake, one you won’t be making.

Pros: You’re an expert manipulator, knowing exactly what buttons to push to trick people into doing what you want. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about a fight breaking out, because your entire fighting style is letting someone else take care of it. Some advice here, a shove there, and soon enough you’re the only one still standing.

Cons: Your entire not-fighting style means you won’t get to use your sneak attack, and 9d6 damage per turn is a lot to just ignore. Skimping on bard levels leaves you with very little magic each day, and not getting the Font of Inspiration especially hurts. Finally, some games simply won’t work for you. Being a master of seduction doesn’t help when you’re fighting automatons. Also, like 90% of the evil groups in D&D are slavers; you probably don’t want to try and cozy up to them. Even when there’s an enemy army you can worm your way into, you might be forcing your DM to run two games at once, which they won’t appreciate. 

Next up: We’re finishing off the assassins with someone we’ve already built twice. Kind of.

(I don’t know if all these pages are in order or if it’s missing any, but this was the letter in the same stack as the last but this one was for my mom. In some places his indents indicate passage of time.)

I HAVENT HAD ANY TIME TO WRITE SINCE WEVE BEEN ON THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION THAT WE CAN’T SEND MAIL WHEN WE’RE MOVING ALL THE TIME.

WEVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT FIVE OR SIX DAYS, I HAVENT REALLY BEEN COUNTING. I KNOW I TOLD YOU THAT WE’D BE IN KUWAIT FOR A WHILE, BUT THAT WAS SO YOU WOULDNT BE WORRIED. I’M GOING TO KEEP THIS LETTER THOUGH, TILL I GET HOME.

ABOUT TWO NIGHTS AGO, WE DROVE THROUGH BAGDHAD, SOMEBODY SAID THAT THERE WERE PILED BODIES, I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS TRUE.

AND I GUESS YESTERDAY, A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SAID THEY SAW A MISSILE OR SOEMTHING SHOT AT US. I WAS TRYING TO FIX A TRUCK SO I DIDNT SEE IT.

ITS NOT AS DUSTY HERE IN IRAQ. IT REMINDS ME OF THE CONVOYS IN KOREA.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE WILL WAVE “HI”. SOME OTHERS DONT.

I SAW A KID OPEN HIS HAND ONCE WHILE MOVING, AND IT SAID “BUSH” THAT WAS KIND OF COOL.

OH YEAH. HERES A STORY. WHILE OUT DOING A MISSION, ONE OF OUR “BRADLEY” TANKS FIRED ON AN ENEMY AMMO TRUCK AND CLIPPED A KID. THE ROUNDS BLEW ONE OF HIS LEGS OFF AND SOME OF THE OTHER, FROM THE KNEE DOWN. SO THE MEDICS PICKED HIM UP AND BROUGHT HIM TO OUR RECONCOLIDATING POINT FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. I GUESS HE EVENTUALLY DIED FROM LOSS OF BLOOD THE NEXT NIGHT AND YESTERDAY THEY TOOK HIM OUT AND BURIED HIM.

ALSO WE PICKED UP ABOUT 25-30 P.O.W.s AND SENT THEM SOUTH.

IT GETS PRETTY COLD AT NIGHT. AND THE DAY’S ARE VERY HOT.

SINCE WE LEFT KUWAIT ITS BEEN ME AND MENDOZA IN THE FIVE TON WRECKER AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT ITS BEEN EXCITING. WE KEPT GETTING SEPERATED FROM THE CONVOY AND BREAKING DOWN. BUT I THINK THAT WERE BETTER NOW. HOPEFULLY.

IM STILL WAITING TO BE AMBUSHED TO MAKE ALL THIS SEEM REAL TO ME. A PART OF ME WANTS IT AND ANOTHER DOESNT.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY OUR UNIT HAS TO STAY IN UNIFORM, EVERYONE ELSE WEARS T-SHIRTS AND BANDENA’S AND RAGS ON THEIR HEAD

WERE STILL GOING NORTH. NOBODY KNOWS HOW LONG WE’LL STAY. ITS NOT THAT BAD HERE. MEANING, IT COULD BE WORSE. 

I USED A “SHIT-CHAIR”. ITS JUST A METAL CHAIR WITH A HOLE CUT IN THE MIDDLE AND THE SEAT FROM A TOILET BOLTED TO IT, GROSS.

HELICOPTERS CAN BE HEARD ALL DAY AND NIGHT. I GOT TO SEE THEM DROP BOMBS ALL DAY ABOUT 3 DAYS AGO, FROM A DISTANCE OF COURSE.

ILL BE DRIVING AGAIN, IN A MINUTE. PROBABLY RE-FUEL AND BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN. IM ENJOYING IT.

I HAVE 8 MAGAZINES FULL OF ROUNDS. NO GRENADES, BUT I LIKE IT LIKE THAT.

SOMETIMES IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT.

I GUESS ILL END IT HERE FOR NOW

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU TWO TWICE IF NOT THRICE AS MUCH AS YOU MIGHT MISS ME TOO.

HELLO AGAIN. WERE SOMEWHERE NEAR TIKRI + MOSUL. YESTERDAY, ME + MENDOZA WENT LOOKING FOR MOMENTO’S. WE BROKE A LOCK TO A NEAR BY BUNKER AND FOUND 6 A.K.47s! BUT ON OUR WAY BACK TO TURN THEM IN, MAJOR TATU GOT THEM FROM US. I WAS SO PISSED. BUT I GOT A GAS MASK w/ FILTER, A FULL MAGAZINE CLIP FROM ONE OF THE A.K.s AND A BERET WITH IRAQ 1 RANK ON IT.

I MADE A STENCIL FOR THE TRUCK WERE RIDING IN. ITS CALLED THE “GAMBLER.” YESTERDAY MENDOZA DROVE, SO TODAY ILL BE DRIVING.

IM NOT POSITIVE, BUT, I THINK WERE GOING TO TURKEY. NIETO SAYS THAT HE OVERHEARD SOMEBODY FROM S1 (or SI, I’m not sure) SAYING WE MIGHT GET PAID EXTRA FOR GOING THROUGH BAGHDAD.

I THINK NIETO’S MAD AT ME. CANT EXPLAIN WHY. MAYBE ITS BECAUSE IM RIDING WITH MENDOZA AND HE DOESNT LIKE MENDOZA TOO MUCH. OH WELL, WHATEVER REASON, HOPE THINGS GET NORMAL AGAIN. HAVE TO GO,

*hearts and xs*

TODAY IS THE 25th OF APRIL, I RECEIVED FIVE OR SIX (OR SEVEN) LETTERS YESTERDAY. THE LATEST WAS DATED 07 OF APRIL. THAT TELLS ME THAT ITS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO COMMUNICATE.

WE HAVENT RECEIVED MAIL BECAUSE WEVE BEEN MOVING NEVER STAYING IN ONE PLACE MORE THAN A DAY, OR TWO, UNTIL NOW. WE’VE BEEN IN THIS SPOT GOING ON FOUR DAYS TOMORROW?!

GIVE ME A MINUTE...

FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IVE BEEN HELPING MENDOZA PULL THE ENGINE OUT OF A 5 TON TRUCK AND SWITCH IT w/ ANOTHER ONE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY BUT THE FLY WHEEL SEIZED UP INSIDE THE BELL HOUSING. ITS FINISHED NOW AND THE RUMOR IS WE’RE LEAVING  (OR MOVING) AGAIN TOMORROW.

ITS 10:33 THURSDAY MORNING. YOUR TIME IS 12:32 JUST TURNING THURSDAY.

I ALMOST CRYED WHEN I SAW ELIS PICTURE. I REALLY MISS BOTH OF YOU. LET ME BACK TO BEFORE I GOT DISTRACTED. I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO SEND MAIL BECAUSE WE’VE BEEN MOVING. BUT I GUESS THAT WHATEVER THREAT THERE WAS (IF ANY), ISNT SO THREATFUL ANYMORE, WE CAN START RECEIVING AND SENDING MAIL. NO PHONE TO CALL FROM, AND NO INTERNET TO E-MAIL FROM.

THE WHOLE UNIT IS SCATTERED, SO EVEN IF I GET WHAT YOU NEED IT’LL TAKE FOREVER TO GET IT TO YOU. LET ME PULL THOSE LETTERS BACK OUT. OH WAIT. I DID LAUNDRY AND SOME UNDERWEAR THATS DRY, FELT HARD, OH WELL, WAIT A SECOND, K

I HAD TO FOLD SOME T-SHIRTS. ALL MY SOCKS ARE STILL DAMP. 

YOU CAN USE MY CONTRACT TO SHOW THAT I ENLISTED IN TEXAS AND HOWS THIS

*On a separate sheet my dad wrote a detailed note for my mom to give to someone to confirm that he did want to buy a house. He writes “I AM ALIVE AND WELL.” and “PLEASE ACCEPT THIS PAPER”, then he signed it with his scribble signature, and underneath it wrote his name in print and added “1st SQUADRON 10th CAVALRY HEADQUARTERS TROOP (I have no clue what this means)*

HOW’S THAT? HOPE I SPELLED EVERYTHING CORRECTLY. IM ALMOST READY WITH A DESIGN TO COVER THE OTHER TATTOOS ON MY LEFT FOREARM.

I JUST FINISHED LOOKING OVER ALL THOSE LETTERS YOU SENT FOR ME

IM BACK! I GOT SLEEPY SO I TRYED TO LAY DOWN FOR A LITTLE BIT. NO SLEEP. I DONT THINK. I DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH WATER TO WASH MY DCV’S AND A PAIR OF BDV’S. BESIDES FOR DRINKING WATER, BUT WE HAVE TO CONSERVE IT.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE RUMORS. TOMORROW WE’LL BE LEAVING FOR THE IRAN/IRAQ BORDER TO DO “PEACE KEEPING” FOR 3 TO 6 mths. OTHERS SAY THAT THE 4ID (i think is what this says) GENERAL WANTS TO KEEP US HERE TILL NOV., THATS WHEN 1 CAV WILL COME TO REPLACE US. WHILE OTHERS SAY WE MIGHT LEAVE BY JUNE. NOTHINGS FOR SURE.

SMALLER RUMORS FLOATING AROUND THE SITE ARE; RAMSEY AND SFC BACON ARE SLEEPING TOGETHER. SGT SIREK HAS PLANS TO TAKE NIETO AS HIS APPRENTICE AND PADIWAN LEARNER OF THE DARK SIDE. LITTLE BLACK ARNOLD IS MILITARY INTELLIGENCE FOR SPECIAL FORCES OPERATING UNDER COVER A SURVEILLENCE AS PART OF

*the rest of the page is blank*

IM BACK. TODAY IS THE 27th. I GOT BACK TO THE LITTLE CAMP AREA ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO. I LEFT YESTERDAY MORNING TO, WELL, AS PART OF DE-CON (DE-CONTAMINATION) MISSION. HERES THE INFORMATION THAT I GATHERED.

A SITE HAD BEEN FOUND THAT WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND 1-10 WAS APPOINTED TO GO TO THE SITE AND DE-CON THE CIVILIANS THAT WERE GOING TO OPEN THEM. AS IT TURNS OUT THE CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN DE-LAYED AND WOULD BE SET BACK 1 DAY.

THE NBC TEAM THAT I WAS WITH WERENT PREPARED TO STAY OVER NIGHT AND AS FORCASTED BY SSG MINOR WE MIGHT HAVE HAD TO STAY 3 TO 4 DAYS. EVERYBODY WAS PISSED.

LATELY ITS BEEN GETTING REALLY COLD AT NIGHT AND WE JUST HAPPENED TO BE NEAR A RUNNING RIVER. SO THE, ITS ABOUT 9 O’CLOCK AND IM BEAT, NO SLEEPING BAG OR ANYTHING TO COVER UP WITH AND I DECIDE TO TRY AND SLEEP. I GET AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE AND I GET ATTACKED BY MOSQUITOS. NOW IM PISSED SO I DECIDED TO JUST TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT. ABOUT 10PM ONE OF THE HEMTT (this might just say “hemi”, I don’t know) FUELERS SHOWS UP AND SGT TORRES SAYS HE HAS EVERYBODYS SLEEPING BAG! THE SITES ABOUT 45 MINS AWAY AND THEY LEFT SOMETIME MID AFTERNOON TO GET OUR SHIT, I HATE THESE PEOPLE.

RIGHT NOW ITS 9:01 PM AND ITS 11:02 AM YOUR TIME. I MISS YOU.

RIGHT NOW IM GOING TO ADDRESS AN ENVELOPE AND HAVE IT READY TO SEND TOMMOROW THE 28th. IM SORRY IF IT SEEMS THAT IM NOT WRITING VERY OFTEN. FOR A WHILE WE COULDN’T. AND NOW THAT IT SEEMS WE MIGHT BE HERE A LITTLE WHILE, THEYVE KEPT ME REALLY BUSY. LET ME ADDRESS THE ENVELOPES (he drew a star here)

ALL DONE. I THOUGHT ABOUT THE HOUSE A LOT TODAY AND YESTERDAY. IM SURE BY THE TIME THIS LETTER REACHES YOU, YOU’LL HAVE EITHER GOTTEN IT OR GAVE IT UP. IM O.K. WITH EITHER DECISION YOUVE MADE.

YOUVE KEPT THIS FAMILY TOGETHER, AND THAT MAKES ME PROUD. YOUR SMART, ATTRACTIVE AND FUNNY. AND YOU DONT TAKE ANY SHIT FROM ANYBODY. I LOVE YOU.

I HOPE THAT OUR DAUGHTER TURNS OUT TO BE LIKE YOU.

I GUESS ILL MAIL THIS TOMORROW, FIRST THING, SO

EVER YOURS

EVER MINE

*my dad signed it with his scribble, and wrote his name under it. under that are hearts and x’s with my mom’s name and then my name under hers.*

#very personal but where the fuck am i gonna put them? you know where i kinda cant lose them? #letters from the guy that was my dad #pt 1 #long post

[babyloniastreasure]

right so i just got done crying on and off for the first three hours of my day and i think i deserve a bit of unloading into the internet about it

dont mind me i just,,,dont have a support system anymore lol and i need some kind of fuckin release. feel free to ignore

so the last week in particular has been extremely rough and today I almost asked to go to the hospital in the hopes of like, idk. getting some sort of help. I have never been this depressed or hopeless before in my life and I’ve never had so much nothing as I do now. I lost all of my friends and my only support. I don’t have anything to look forward to. I look at my projects and my art and I can’t stand them because everything has memories attached to people who hate me and want nothing to do with me. People who have ignored me for five fucking weeks after telling me “We want to fix this.”

i’m hardly sleeping. im constantly exhausted. im physically nauseous because i cant eat from the stress and anxiety, granted i remember to eat at all or have the energy to get up to get anything in the first place. emotionally im an absolute wreck. I can’t focus. nothing is enjoyable. there’s nothing TO enjoy, because everything i had before was everything they took away. I’ve been left in the dust after they told me they still cared. so clearly that was a lie. if they cared they wouldnt have left at the drop of a hat like that

Even my family has noticed that i’m not okay and they’re starting to ask questions. i feel bad every time i brush them off but I cant let them know how bad things really are. i cant tell them that every hour i have to fight the urge to hurt myself again. that every time i have a second of free thought i think, hey, wouldn’t it be so satisfying to make yourself bleed again? and yes! it would be satisfying! but that’s not a pit i want to fall into again. it had me for years and it took even more years to break. and even though I have the awareness to not go through with it and can recognize it’s not actually going to help in the long run, it’s so exhausting when that’s my first go-to solution. And like yeah I usually have those thoughts anyway but I’ve had such a great system of friends and people I love who love me also that it was easier to get past. There were people there for me  who cared and because I knew they cared I could get through the rough patches. But now I don’t have those people. I don’t have any support. There’s nobody who cares about me. So then my loneliness gets to me and i get even more depressed and anxious and I keep spiraling, and those thoughts get worse and harder to fight off. it was those thoughts of intense “lets hurt ourselves really badly :D” that made me want to go to the hospital. I literally had the thought of “If I go to the hospital and they say I’m not severe enough to be admitted, I’ll just grab a pen and stab my leg to prove to them I need help.” Which is neither good nor healthy, but it would be so easy

instead i ended up crying for three hours and started thinking the circumstances that lead me here

and like. i will admit, and i have admitted dozens of times, hundreds of times to myself, that I made a mistake. I know that. I told them that. That was the first fucking thing I said. all i can think about is that singular, one, individual, tiny little blunder. and how despite me acknowledging it and coming clean with it and trying to talk about it, it was blown up and out of proportion and thrown in my face. they took my misstep and every single one of them twisted it and manipulated it into something far from the truth, something that painted me as a terrible person, as a secret asshole, as a huge toxic influence, as a deceitful and unappreciative person. They all threw out everything about our friendship in favor of ignoring what I’d said and assuming something far from the truth, the truth I laid out for them no less.

and then when i asked if i could clarify and communicate, they told me no. then blamed me for not communicating!!

thats all i ever tried to do! was communicate

From day one the group said hey if there’s a problem, be open with it and we’ll talk about it. we communicate to solve problems because we’re all friends and cherish each other.

what a load of shit.

i tried to communicate. I laid out my problem and then everybody else got involved, said I wasn’t allowed to talk about that with them, then they called me back like some kind of court and judge and jury and told me because I didn’t communicate, I was being kicked out. That’s not fair. I wasn’t treated fairly. I wasn’t even allowed to clarify whatever the hell they thought. They straight up told me no, you can’t talk about this with us. That’s not communication. That’s hypocritically shutting me down.

“Communicate with us Jask!”

“Okay I will send communication”

“Op! You’re not allowed :) We agreed you can’t talk to us :) You’re being kicked out :) Oh But Don’t Feel Unwelcome We Want To Fix This.” Then they all fuckin. moved into a space without me in it. That’s not welcoming. That’s exclusionary. That’s not communicating either. I’ve been handed a double standard that I can’t do anything about because I’m not allowed to even say hello to these people

How does anyone expect things to get better if I’m not being given the chance I was promised? its been. five. weeks. I’m ? so fucking tired and sad and alone, waiting every fucking day in the hopes that someone is going to actually talk to me again. then I finally pass out in near tears at 3am because another day has passed with none of them caring enough to even ask if im okay

and like. i desperately want to talk to them. i dont know what id say but. i dont know. i dont know. im not allowed to, for one. they made that crystal fucking clear. but again what would i even say?

do i say im sorry? i apologized dozens of times and it never made a difference, they ignored my apologies from the start and im certain they ignored the ones at the end too. and im terrified of saying sorry to the only person who really matters in this situation because im certain she’s going to cut me off if i even breathe in her direction

do I say that i miss them? what’s that going to do? it feels manipulative to say that. like hey pity me into talking to me again? i cant do that. im sure none of them miss me anyway so why would i put myself on the spot like that

do i admit im afraid to talk to them? again that also feels, bad, because the last time i admitted a feeling it drove them all away in an instant. and like also that feels like im backing them into a corner where they have to respond. and i dont want to force that. so it feels like talking is making the same mistake that made them kick me out. and like. what if...talking really does make it worse? what if talking is what ruins it even though talking is what they told me they want?

again there’s the double standard. be honest and communicate, but if you’re honest and communicate you’re rejected outright and made into the bad guy.

at this point its been so long

and i’ve deteriorated so much

i dont know if like. i just. i dont know...if more deterioration, if more waiting, and more dashed hope is worth it ?

i dont even know if they still want to repair things. what if they dont? what if they never did? what if they lied? what if they sit in their little group and talk poorly about me? what if they made bets about how long it’ll take me to leave or unfriend them like my isolation was some sort of game? what if they think i hate them? what if they really DO hate me? what if they moved on and want to forget about me? what if they regret knowing me at all? what if they wish they never knew me? what if they’re happy without me? what if 

oh boy i started crying again

what if this entire month of waiting and crying and wishing and grieving and hoping and loneliness was a waste of time? what if this was all for nothing? what if i never get to talk to them again? i. man. i just. i really really really miss everyone. i miss them so much. i miss them so fucking much. i dont know what to do. I m. fuck. im miserable. i wish i hadn’t said anything i wish i had kept my mouth shut i wish i never tried i wish i never did any of that i wish i had my friends i wish i could go back i wish i could talk to them

if i didnt say anything at least i’d be happy and id have everything and i would have my best friends in the whole world and id, fuck man thats really it, id be happy. im  so fucking awul

im so. i. i cant see the scvreen i need to go wash up and stop

In Your Dreams

Steve Harrington x Reader

Summary: The reader has a dream about Steve. Angst/fluff.

Warnings: cursing and a brief/insinuated conversation of sex.

Word Count: 2.4K

Y/N looked into the mirror, putting on one final swipe of mascara. She smiled lightly to herself, pleased with how she looked. She felt antsy and nervous for some reason, but she couldn’t quite tell what. A honk outside of her home, jolted her back to reality. She grabbed the bag that was laying on her bed and rushed out the door. upon seeing the maroon BMW idling in her driveway, a rush of butterflies swarmed her stomach and her hands got a bit more clammy. She walked slowly to the car, only to have the sweet boy fun to the passenger door and open it for her. Flush lined her cheeks, and she coyly thanked him for being so sweet.

“Y/N/N, you look absolutely beautiful.”

“Thanks Stevie. You don’t look too bad yourself.”

Time seemed to fly by as the she was having the time of her life on the date of her dreams. Steve pulled the car into her driveway and he reached over to lay a hand on top of hers.

“Y/N/N, I...think i might be in love with you.” Her smile spread across her face, beaming with joy at the declaration of love laid forth to her.

“Stevie, I know I’m in love with you.” Closing the distance between the two was her number one priority at the moment. She wanted nothing more than her lips to collide with his. She inched closer and closer and closer...

Y/N’s alarm blared through her room, seemingly louder than normal. She shot up straight in her bed.

“I’m so fucked.” She couldn’t stop thinking about the dream she just had about her best friend Steve Harrington. It had only been a few months since he started working at the video store with her, but just in that short time they, along with Robin, had become especially close. And sure, they playfully flirted and bantered, but that’s what it was, play, right? They were just best friends, right?

As she was getting ready for her shift, her thoughts were racing thinking about the dream she just had about him. She couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened in the dream. She had so much fun, and was super happy. She felt love sick in the dream, and that was starting to seep into her real life.

The drive to work was almost unbearable. She suddenly became hyper aware that she was going to have to see him for their shift in less than five minutes. She obviously couldn’t tell him about the dream, because that would make it seem like she liked him. Which maybe she does, she wasn’t sure what to think. Just as she pulled in, he pulled in from the opposite direction, Robin in his passenger seat. Y/N immediately put her car in park and ran in so she could get the stock job for the day, so she could be alone. She heard Robin and Steve both yelling for her, but ignored them. Her thoughts were starting to swallow her whole.

“Hey Y/N/N.”

“Hi Steve.” She replied back coldly.

“Steve? You never call me Steve, you always call me Stevie. Is something wrong?”

“Everything is fine Steve, now if you’d excuse me, i have to organize all of these or else my ass is grass.” She blankly said to him, turning to focus on her work instead of him. She was also turning away to hide the blush that was beginning to splay across her cheeks. She couldn’t help it. She had one of THOSE dreams about him.

Y/N worked as diligently as she could, with her mind always coming back to Steve. Steve and his perfect hair, and his dorky but lovable personality. Steve and his constant need to make sure everybody else is okay before himself. Steve and his cute voice, and perfect laugh. Steve and his chiseled, yet comfortable body. Steve, Steve, Steve was all she could think about.

“Damn Y/N, who’s the lucky guy you’re drooling over?” She was pulled from her daydream over the dumb boy working the front of store by her other best friend Robin.

“It’s no one.” She glanced to Steve, her heart beating a little faster. “It’s not a big deal.”

“What happened between yesterday and today that you finally know your feelings for Steve?”

“Robin, quiet down. I had one of THOSE dreams about him last night and it’s just kind of throwing me for a loop-Wait, did you say finally know them?”

“Yes, it’s obvious how you feel about him. It’s kinda gross how often you give him puppy eyes. Tell me about this dream you had.”

“Rob, you’re joking right?”

“No, I’m not. Let’s hear it, Y/N/N.” Robins voice was thick with mockery of Steve saying her nickname. Y/N struggled to decide if she should tell Robin about the dream or not, eventually deciding that if she didn’t tell her right now, Robin would get it out of her with constant pestering.

“It wasn’t that bad, okay? It was just one of those dreams where you go to bed thinking about someone one way and wake up feeling completely different.” Robin looked at her, and waved her hand to tell her to continue telling her what happened in the dream.

“Okay, so the dream started with me getting ready for what i assumed to be a date with some random guy. Little did i know, that it was actually a date with Steve. i got into his car, and he told me i was beautiful and i flirted back naturally. And then i had the best date i think i could ever ask for. Literally the date of my dreams. And then we came back to my house and we were sitting in my driveway, and he told me he was in love with me and i told him it back and just when we were gonna kiss my alarm went off. And now I’m royally fucked because i cant even look at him without getting butterflies.”

Robin stared at the girl for a few seconds not saying anything, before bursting into a fit of laughter. Thus causing everyone in the store, including Steve to look back at the two girls standing at the counter. And to those who saw it, was probably a treat. One girl was sitting there cracking up laughing and the other was staring at her mortified as to why she was laughing.

“Robin, calm down. Why are you laughing? People are staring.” Just as she said that, Steve and her made direct eye contact. She quickly looked away, heat spreading through her entire body.

“I’m sorry, like genuinely.But oh my god, I just can’t believe that you’re in love with that dingus.”

“What dingus?” Steve said approaching the two calmly. Y/N’s eyes grew to be as big as saucers.

“No one. I really don’t want to talk about it right now.” Y/N said before turning to Robin and saying, “If you say anything, I will actually murder you.” With that, she walked back to the storage room and continued to organize.

Her shift went agonizingly slow, especially since both her and Steve worked a double. Meaning, when it came time to close only the two of them were left. She finished the stack of movies in the back, and filled out the stock form. After leaving the storage room, she noticed that the drawer wasn’t done yet, and Steve was still cleaning up.

“Y/N/N, that’s technically my job today. You don’t have to do that.”

“If you finish cleaning and I do the drawer, we’ll be out of here a lot quicker than if you did both.”

“That’s true, if we get done quickly, we might be able to make it to old diner on Main Street before they close. Maybe get some food?” Chills raised to her spine and butterflies filled her stomach, yet before she could even think about it she vomited out the words,

“I would love that.” His lips pulled into a dopey grin that she had grown to love over the past few months. Never the less, they both finished up their aspects of the job. Y/N put the money in the safe and reassembled the drawer for tomorrow’s openers and Steve got out the key ready to lock up. The door’s lock was turned and pulled, and they knew it was safe to leave.

“I think we have about forty five minutes until they close if you want to go?” Steve nodded to her asking.

“I’m down, I’ll just meet you over there then.” Her smile shone bright as the sun looking towards Steve. The two got into their cars, and began the trek to the diner.

She was beyond scared. Sure, she had spent plenty of time alone with Steve. Hell, she spent more time alone with him than with Robin. But that was also before she had a dream where they both proclaimed their love for each other. She pulled into the worn down diner with partially shredded booths and faded wallpaper.

She took a deep breath, recalling the memory of the first time they had come here after a long boring shift at the store. The two sat at a corner booth, and were as awkward as two coworkers who had just met two days ago could be. Quickly though, they found their footing in conversations varying from what their plans for the future were to how many times Dustin has described Suzie as being hotter than Phoebe Cates. And even though they had only met a few days prior, Steve already felt comfortable enough to tell her about all of the crazy shit that had gone down over the past few years. All of these conversations happened over French Fries and pancakes.

Three knocks on her window snapped her out of her daze, and she reached over to unbuckle, Steve opening the door for her before she could reach the handle herself. When they went inside, they sat in their regular corner booth. The waitress knew who they were, so only asked for their drink order and told them she put their order in when she saw them walking in.

“Ya know, it feels really nice to be so well taken care of here. Doesn’t happen many other places.” Steve said, fiddling with the sugar packets on the end of the table.

“You can say that again, certainly doesn’t happen at Family Video. If i have to cover one more shift for Keith without getting paid for managerial time I’m gonna lose it.” The two kept light conversation for a bit until their food came out, to which they were silenced by the food they were rapidly consuming.

“Y/N/N.” Steve said, suddenly sporting a serious tone.

“Yes Stevie?”

“What happened today? I don’t know if i did something, but you really scared me this morning. Something was clearly wrong, and i understand that you didn’t want to tell me, but it hurt that you pretended you were fine. And then with the whole Robin thing and how you told her not to say anything. i understand wanting to keep secrets, but... I don’t know... It sucks that you were that upset about me knowing.”

Y/N’s heart dropped to the pit of her stomach. She never wanted to make him feel like that. She never wanted to make him feel pain. She had never meant for any of this to happen. The girl took a deep breath, still unclear as to what she was going to say to the obviously heartbroken boy in front of her.

“Stevie, I’m so sorry. i just am going through something right now and I don’t really know how to talk about it. Robin pried it out of me, and I didn’t mean to make you feel not included. It’s just a lot.”

“Apology accepted.” he said to her with a smile, before reaching over to lay a hand atop hers. “Just remember that I’m always here for you, okay? And whenever you’re ready to talk about it, I’m here right?” She nodded a yes to him smiling.

“Alright, now did i tell you about Dustin falling down my steps the other day?”

“No you absolutely didn’t.” The two talked lightheartedly until the check was paid and they walked out of the diner still laughing a bit. When they got over to their cars, Steve pulled Y/N into a huge hug. She didn’t let go for a bit, but eventually accepted defeat in staying there forever. She walked over to her car and got in. She let her head hit the steering wheel. A surge of confidence took over her body, causing her to fly out of her seat and get into the passenger side door of his car.

“Y/N/N, what is happening right now?”

“Stevie, I’m gonna try to get this out as quick as i can before going back to my car and leaving. Okay, so why I was so moody today was because last night i had a dream where we went on a date and you told me you were in love with me and we almost kissed but my alarm kinda ruined the moment. All of today i was super nervous around you, because i had never realized how much i really love you until that dream. And now i definitely made things awkward so I’ll see you Thursday for our shift.”

She reached over to get out of the car before feeling a hand grab her arm. She started to turn around, only for a hand to grasp her face and pull her into a long, passionate kiss. The two melded together perfectly, like puzzle pieces that were meant to fit together. The two pulled away after running out of oxygen, both panting as smiles grew on their faces.

“Kinda sucks your dream ended before that, huh?” Steve said jokingly.

“Ha-Ha-Ha.” Her words, dripping with sarcasm.

“In case you couldn’t tell. I’m in love with you too. It’s kinda funny. I had a dream just like that last week, except mine went a little bit further than kissing, if you know what I’m saying.”

“Steve! Slow your roll. We just confessed our love, we can at least wait until tomorrow damn.”

He laughed a little before pulling her in for one last goodnight kiss.

Hope returns   Final Chapter Clash of titans By Goldstonegolem64

Allure was sleeping an would be dreaming of Her home. But instead she found herself standing in the cockpit of the blue lion. She wondered why She was here. Maybe Leonidas wanted to talk to her.

“ Alright Leonidas what is it you would like to talk about “ Allura asked but there was no response “  Leonidas ?” Still no answer. But she did hear someone humming coming from the pilots seat . The Voice sounded familiar to her. So she walked closer to pilots seat expecting to see Lance but no She saw herself wearing Paladin Armor with pink as the secondary color. She was taken aback by this. Why was she in the blue lion where was Lance. But then she heard herself Singing

“ Don’t stop me now I'm going haven such a good time. I’m haven a ball” The other Allura sang as she was turning on the blue lion. 

Allure looked out the right eye of the blue lion an saw people wearing what looked like Adams flight suit. She also saw dozens of jetfighter that looked like Adam’ s jet as well. She was confused by what she was seeing. But something About this place felt Familiar . But she couldn't place where she had seen it before. But her thoughts were cut off when Shiro’s voice came over the P.A System 

[ Attention to all Paladins and M.E.F. We will be reach the meet up point in t-minus five minutes be ready for deployment and my we get out of this Alive ] Shiro said Followed by Keith’s voice coming of the blue lion’s comm

{ Alright teen this is it the final fight hopefully Is everybody ready?} He asked 

{ Am a little nervues but that's just me every time we going on a mission so i’m good } Hunk said

{ It would be a bad sign if you weren't worried Bud. Also Red and I are ready to go  } Lance said

{ Me and Green are ready } Pidge chimed in

“ Blue and I are ready “ The other Allura said 

{Good to hear now once we get there will met up with Jay and his team. After that we will be leading the charge .Stay close to each other were still The highest on Haggar’s Hit list } 

{ Got it } They all said 

Allura stood there wondering what was going on. But before she could see what would happen next her alarm went off. She awake back in her room. the lights in the room turned an the Door opened an Coran walked in carrying a tray of food 

“ Good morning Princess I brought you breakfast “ He said with a massive smile on his face as he placed the tray on Allura’s lap 

“ Thank you Coran. What time is it”   She asked as she rubbed Sleep from her eyes

“  It is currently 6:30. will be leave in with in the hour ” Coran said 

“ Good to know “ Allura said still a little confused 

“ Are you alright Allura?”

“ Yeah just a weird dream” 

“ What was It about?” coran  asked 

Allura though back to the dream but she couldn’t remember what it was “ I Can’t remember sadly”  

“ It happens so how are you feeling princess”  

“ I’m fine but just a little nervous.”

“ We all are” Coran said as he put a hand on Allura shoulder. Coran was about say something but held back

Allura noticed this “  Coran what is wrong “

Coran stayed quiet for a few seconds “ You know the among of power need to make the ring work could kill you “

“ I know but that is a chance that I'm willing to take .I know it hurts you to her that but look at it this way. I will dead saving trillions so it will be worth it “

Coran’s smile faded but came back not as bright as before  “ Your father would ‘be so proud of you if he were here” A

“ Thanks for that coran. If I may ask is there anything else I need to know ?”  She asked as she started eating her Breakfast

Coran rubbed his chin and though for a few second thinking about it “ No thing that comes to mind” He replied 

“ Good to know “ Allura replied as the Altean mice walked onto the tray an started eat some of the food on the tray. Allura petted the large yellow an continued to tak to coran

 Thirty minutes later. Allura and Coran walked into the Bridge and Found Most of The paladins minus Adam  and Jay

“ Jay say good bye to his kids and Adam is staying behind to make sure Izuku as one parent still around just in case we fail the Mission Also Jay said he would meet us in obirt o we don’t have to wait for him “  Shiro replied 

Elsewhere

Jay stood in front of his sons who were half a sleep on the couch each one wrapped in a blanket do to Jay walking them up so he could say his goodbyes and give them a small list of things to do while he was out “ Alright you three . I’m going to be gone for the next two to three hours so I want you three on your best behavior for Ezra and Adam . An when your sisters wake up do your best to play with them and read to them please” Jay said 

“Dad I cant read remember” Fitz said as he was fighting to keep his eyes open

“ Your getting better at” Jay counter  

“ Still “ Fitz replied 

“ Ok Fitz inability to read aside “

“ Hey !!” Fitz said 

“love you bud. Is there anything you guy need to tell me before I head out?” Jay asked as he picked up his helmet off the coffee table.

“ Can you stay here “  Bastion  said softly as he hide his face in his blanket 

 “What was that Bas” Jay Asked 

“ Can you stay Here “ bastion said again as he sunk deeper into the blanket

 Jay walked over to the blanketed Bastion and crocheted down to be on eye level with bastion   “ You know I can’t stay Buddy”

“ I know but still what if you don't come back ?" Bastion aaked

"Then Adam will take you to Marsand you will stay with my dad and my siblings. But me not coming back is highly unlikely so don’t worry” Jay replied as he pulled Bastion into a hug. “ Now I have to go” Jay said as he broke off the hug “Are you going to be alright ?”

“ I’ll be fine and I'm still going worry”

“ Good I would be worry if you weren’t “Jay said as he patted Bastion on the head. He then got up and hugged Fitz. 

“ Stay safe”  Fitz said

 “ I’ll do my best bud” Jay replied He then walked over to the Sleeping Usamu and kissed him on the forehead.” Sleep tight buddy “ 

“Bye Dad have a nice Mission ‘ Usamu said as he opened his eye slightly 

“ I will “ Jay replied as he put his Salvager Helmet on then walked out the Cargo by door and towards the Valkyrie as he walked toward the Valkyrie. He saw Adam with two sentries holding supplies following behind him. In Adam's arms was a Sleep Izuku. The two men didn't stop to talk to each other. But spoke to each other in passing

" make sure you Bring my husband home safely please?" Adam asked

"I'll do my best but no promises "jay replied as he entered the Valkyrie 

Adam smiled a little “try your best I want my Son to have two parents in his life “

“Will try are best Adam don't you worry “ VAl said

“ That’s all I ask” Adam said as he walked into the Prometheus 

“So are we ready to go my Pilot” 

“I'm as ready as I'll very be   “ Jay replied as he sat down and started turning on the engines

“  Alright then let go then” Val saiis as she slowly took to the sky and after slowly going up they  rocketed skywards an after a few minutes of flying upwards. The Valkyrie broke orbit an found itself in the middle of armada of Rebel ships, fighters, smaller olkari Cubes And the Vanguard which spotted them an waved to them before opening a huge wormhole an slowly started letting ships in. the two then looked around trying to find the Castle of lions in the mess of ships an when they finally saw it braking orbit it had the four original Cubes orbiting it. 

“there They are ‘ Val said as  then started moving towards the castle as they did dozens of Fighters started to follow them 

“ I do not like them following us my pilot they might throw the plan if the continue to follow us” Val said as the fighters continued to follow them

“ You worry to much Val they’re just getting a good look at the legendry Valkyries right before it heads off to save the universe.”  Jay said as the fighters started to disperse the closer to the Valkyrie  got to the Castle. “ See Val your worried about nothing “ As the Valkyrie flow past the bridge followed by Allura voice coming over the comms 

[ Are you docking or are you going to follow us through the worm hole?] Allura ask 

Jay was quite for a few second as he turned of the Valkyrie’s Black Box to record everything that was about to go down “ So Val we docking or are we flying through the worm hole  ?” Jay asked his metal friend

“ Wormhole so we can just jump into the fray once were out of the wormhole “ Val replied 

“ Alright then just stay close by. We don’t want to lose you” Allura said as the armada of rebel Ships entered the Vanguard’s Wormhole Followed the cloud of cubes   the planned location After all the ships left. Allura opened up a wormhole an flow into it Followed by the Cubes and the Valkyrie 

As the Group traveled throughout the Wormhole

“ So before we get there Kolivan have we gotten any word from your man on the inside yet ?” Shiro asked 

“ No we tried before leave and we tried to contacted him as we were Leaving Olkarion . But still no answer we believe he has been Captured “   

Everyone felt a chill run down there spine.

“ Do you think Zarkon knowns were coming should we call off the Attack”  Allura asked 

“ No Thace is one of are best we trained he to with stand the greatest of physical and mental Tortures. An I believe that if we pull back are attack know  we might never get a better chance but will need to come up with a plan to turn off Central commands power.” Kolivan said 

“ Jay lets hear your Idea first just to get it out of the way “ Lance said 

{ Ok hear me out} Jay said with a smile on his face 

At the Galra center command

Harley lay in their cell/ room that was given to them by Zarkon for capturing Thace. She lay on her bed looking at the new design for her mech War dog. She didn't  like the new design and as she looked at it the door to the Cell opened and her brother walked int

“ Hello brother how was your two hours of freedom from this room ?” She asked 

“ Yes I did “ Quinn said as he sat on his bed then grabbed the data pad that was on his pillow “ What's this ? “ he Asked as he turned the Data pad on an saw the upgrades done to the halberd. The first being an updated auto pilot. Better armor,  Stronger engines. a Cloaking Device which was surprising but welcome, An new Gauss Rifle along with six chips plus a super sized high powers Plasma pistol made to punch through  heavy armored targets like the Valkyrie’s wings or Voltron’s shield, Then there was his long sword  “ Wow they’re really are gearing us up just to fail. I mean why give me all the gear if were going to lose it once Voltron shows up” Quinn said as he tossed the data pad back on the pillow followed by him scratching the back of his right ear  causing the ear to glow Seeing this Harley scratched the back of her ear causing the same thing to happen but she then returned to looking at the data pad .  this turned on  the psionic implant that the twin had install years before being captured . The implants allowed the twins to talk wordlessly only at close range. It made making  escape plans easier when no one could hear you or even detected then seeing as psionic implants were organic and no cybernetics the glowing ear was just a way for the twin to tell when to use it   

{ So Sister have you finally figure out what the Chip was “ Quinn asked through the psionic implant

{ Yes I have. It’s an override chip it helps Hackers instant control over what they want. I don’  t know what Thace want but I'm guessing it was to disable the stations Defensives for when voltron showed up again } Harley said 

{ Good to know } 

{ So do you still have it ?} She asked 

{ Yes I do.} Quinn opened his mouth an stuck out his tongue an showed off the chip then pulled his tongue back in  {Now what are we going to do with it  }    

{ Don’t know maybe do the same as Thace help Voltron an while everyone is distracted will Kill Zarkon or we leave and go to one of are old friends an asked them for safe haven} harley said as she put the data pad down

{We'll figure that out later right now we need to figure out how we are going to get thace out of prison} Quinn said as he said that the Door to his room to reveal Two guards

“ Lord Zarkon wishes to speak with you two get up ” One of the Guards ordered

The twins looked at each other then got up

“ Where are we going?” Quinn asked 

“ Shut up” The same guard said 

“ Alright alright I was just asking. no need to bite my head off “ Quinn said with a smile on his face. As he an his sister walked out of their Cell/Room an saw two more guards pulling Skyver out of his room  

“Skyver my guy what do you the almighty emperies wants from us this time?” Harley asked 

“ Don’t know maybe he’s sending us to fix Root Rots Fuck up”Skyver said jokingly 

“ God I hope so I want to take another swing at the Valkyrie “ Quinn said 

“ Same here I want pay back “ Harley added 

The three of them continued to talk as they walked to the throne room/ Bridge. The three were lined up in front of Both Zarkon and Haggar

“ Hello you three I have a mission for you to under take “ Zarkon said as he tapped a button on his throne an a screened appeared an showed off a green an blue Planet ‘ This Planet is Called earth, It’s a simple world that house carbon base life living on it called human. They are very interesting race seeing as they were actively give out there location to anyone who would listen an thats how we found this planet in the first place and it’s also the home world of the Paladins of Voltron’ As Zarkon said that several more pictures appeared Show of Lance, Pidge , Keith ,Shiro ,Adam And Hunk with the words missing over the picture of Lance, Pidge ,Keith and Hunk’s pictures and deceased over Shiro’s, Adam’s and Matt’s Picture “ An those are the paladins themselves. Lance McClain, Hunk Garret, Katie and Mathew Holt, Keith Kogane ,Takatsuki Shirogane and Adam Winchester. “   

“ Ok So do we have names to faces and the location of their home world. what is are mission then to conquer this world for you “ Skyver asked  

“ No I want you three to capture the family’s of this four we will use them as a bargaining Chip ”  Zarkon said as he brought up the pictures of Lance, Hunk, Matt Pidge “ After current events I am focused to rethink  my strategy to capturing Voltron and the Valkyrie” 

“ Then why aren’t we kidnapping the Silver Paladin’s Family “ Harley said

“ We have yet to find the home word of the Silver Paladin yet seeing as the drone we sent to was shot Down by an unseen force” zarkon said 

‘ Alright when are we heading out then” Quinn asked 

“ You will be heading out with in the hour” But as he said that Alarms started going of. “ What is going on “

“ Lord Zarkon Something as tripped are scanner “ one of the console workers said 

“ What was it “ Zarkon said 

“ We don’t know something tripped the north east sector.  it was there for just a second then it disappeared an were having trouble location it again” the same worker said 

“  Have ever warship, Fighter War Machen ,and the shipyards on high alert a scrabble the fighters and mechs currently  dock here and in the Carriers. If it’s the Valkyrie then we want to capture both her and her pilot alive same thing goes for the green lion as well. An you three get to you mechs and help in the search. I want them found and their pilot brought to me!!”   Zarkon ordered as he got up from his throne an summoned the black Bayard

Elsewhere

A cloaked Valkyrie slowly moved through the not crowded Void that surrounded Galra Central Command. In the cockpit of the Valkyrie was Jay and  Keith 

“ OK we’ve got them  to scrabble their fighters and mechs that’s a loot of mechs that is a lot of mechs “  Jay said as he piloted the Valkyrie towards a Open Hanger bay that had Mechs coming out of it..  the Valkyrie landed it opened its chest then reached into the chest space and pulled out a large crate sized device and placed it on the floor followed by Jay and Keith Walking out. They both walked over to the device an Jay an turned it on. The device let out a low hum as it came to life. “ Ok Keith I have set this thing to blow in twenty five minute meaning  you have fifteen minutes to get in and out before it before it blow and five minute of wiggle room to work with. so once you find are target contact either me or anyone else  and if shit hits the fan just  head to the nearest come back here I will pick you up. But if you run into trouble or think hit the fan fine another way out  and make sure to tell me what happening so I can active trigger the emp ”He tapped on his wrist computer showing a remote detonator “  even if this thing isn’t at full power it will knock out the power for about half hour maybe less if they can get their secondary power up. But then again I commissioned this think to be able to knock out secondary systems and ever back up systems “ Jay said as he patted the Olkari make  E.M.P Bomb that he had commissioned  During his first trip to Olkari “ Now good lucky and Stay safe “ Jay stuck out his hand 

Keith first set up a timer for how long he had until the bomb went off then he looked to Jay  “ You too  and give them hell ” Keith said as he took Jay’s hand and shook it 

“ Oh we will “ Jay said   as he walked back into the cloaked Valkyrie 

Keith smile a little as he felt the air shift as  the Valkyrie left the Hanger After that he walked toward the door that lead out of the Hanger .Keith turn on his wrist mounted computer and started scanning for luxanite the material that made up all of the Blades knives. He found one trace an started running towards it 

Outside in space a still cloaked slowly moved to one of the Massive octagon   shaped repair station. The Valkyrie moved to the top of it and hover over it by just a few feet above it stood there waiting

“  You ready my pilot?”  Val asked as she Changed the wings from the normal set to the Drill wings and closed them around them an started to spin 

“ Yeah I'm just a little nervous but hey that just part of the Job now lets give them hell”  Jay said as he pushed the engines to there max sending the Valkyrie upwards then Back down onto the Repair bay. the Valkyrie punched through  the Repair bay an caused  a quarter of the repair bay to explode sending massive Chunks of now super heated metal  flying in random direction. Some just moved through space while other slammed into near by warship crippling them of just out right destroyed  them . The Valkyrie continued to do punch through any near by  warship leaving a path of destruction in there wake  

As they did they the Valkyrie notice a small unit of V-types trying to follow them.Some where trying to shoot at them while other were trying to catch up to them and they  wielding either  Swords ,Axes , Hammers  and what looked like a shook baton. Seeing this the Both Val and Jay to make a U-turn and flow right into casing group. But right before the when into the group. The wings opened mid spin and raveled the Valkyrie Scythe in hand they used the momentum from their spinning to become a massive blender as the cut through the first few members of the group. This cause the rest of the group to dispersed but some still got hit by the scythe causing them to lose a leg an arm or a had their weapon destroyed.

The Valkyrie stopped Spinning to prevent Jay passing out from dizziness. As the stood there they looked around and Saw dozens of  V-types robeasts along with hundreds of fighter and a few warships  surrounding them weapon drawn and aimed at them. 

“ Yes it do seem that way my pilot and even if we were to counter this the power absorbed would severely damage my internal systems and you might die from the feed back.”  VAl said as she de-summoned the scythe .As she did that message from the bridge of central command “ We’ve being hailed by the Zarkon himself should I let it through?” Val asked 

“ Let that Ass hat through I want to hear what hehas to sa.” Jay replied followed by the signal coming through.

“ Hello Silver Paladin you were a foul to come here alone. Now give up an hand over the Valkyrie and you and what ever family you have will be Spared . You have a minute to replied .” Zarkon said

“  Ok first off If you ever bring up my family again I will tear you a rip second who said I came alone “ Jay said 

in the Bridge of central command 

“ My Lord we have several  objects moving towards in from the north towards the Valkyrie location “ one of the transmission officers said followed by a screen appearing showing the Green , Blue, Yellow and Black lions along with four huge Cubes that moved along side the lions. followed then by the eight of them opening fire on the fleet that surrounded the Valkyrie 

The sudden Appearance of the Lions and Cube caught the small fleet that surrounding  the Valkyrie off guard. This Gave the Valkyrie enough time to summon up the Twin plasma pistol and took well aimed shots at any V-type robeasts making  sure  that they wouldn’t be bothering the lions

“  Took you guys long enough “ Jay said as he Shot another V-type that was aiming their plasma rilfe at the Blue lion

“ You looked like you were having fun an we didn’t want to stop you” Pidge Said as She destroy a warships 

“Your not wrong ”  Jay replied 

“ Now what is Keith's status and what is the Status on the e.m.p”  Shiro asked 

“ Don’t know about Keith mainly do to the fact that it’s been three minutes since I dropped him off. Also the E.M.P has twenty two minutes until it goes off.” Jay replied 

“ Alright team keep them busy and lets hope those three don’t show up “ Shiro said as he summoned up his Jaw blade an dragged it along the side of  a nearby Carrier 

in the bridge of the Zarkon  watch with fury burning in his eye as watch his entire Armada being complete out done by Nine enemy fighters . He Slammed his fist down on his throne “ How can the universe’s most powerful Armada be turned into nothing more then shooting practice for “ zarkon stopped in his tracks 

Haggar looked at her Husband ‘ My Dear what is wrong?” She asked 

“ Why didn’t they form Voltron when they first showed up . Where is the red lion. Scan The entirety of central command look for the red paladin and look in every hanger bay, Airlock and Trash shot”    Zarkon ordered 

“ Yes sir “ one of the Console worker said an after a few seconds “ Sir we found something in Hanger bay 323.  “ As they said that a screen appeared showing of a lone Black Crete looking object  With a blue light faintly coming from it 

“ What is that ?” Haggar asked 

“ I Don’t know by its giving off a small electro magnetic signal. It might be an E.M.P  " the same console officer said

" So they are planning on cutting off the power then what destroyed this place with us inside but that doesn't answer where the red paladin is." Zarkon stopped middle sentence again "stop looking for the red paladin I know where he's going “ Zarkon said as he started walk toward the Door 

“ Where are you going ‘ Haggar asked confused as to what he husband was doing 

“ I’m going to meet Alfores successor . Now my dear stay here and lead while I'm out ”   Zarkon said as he walked the door

Back with Keith

He was moving through the a vent of the Central command tying to get to Thace’ s location. It had taken longer the expected do to him having to constantly avoid sentry ,Guard drones and Soldier portals along with the fact that he had to avoid using elevators to get to the floor that Thace was on the off chance that someone on the security dealt just happened to see an trapped him in it .Keith looked at his wrist scanned and saw that the location marker he had placed on the luxanite signature was slow getting bigger a s he got closer to what he guess was either Thace or his room where he left his blade . Which if it were Thace's room. Keith wouldn’t have enough time to keep look for him. As he got closer he hear the faint sound someone screaming. Keith picked up the pass and crawled faster through the vent   

As he got closer the screaming got louder he also saw a vent grate  on the floor and a purple Flashing coming from it “ The hell” Keith said to himself as he got closer . An when he got to the Edge of the Vent he looked down and Saw A hooded man sending out lighting through their hand and into an Galra Strapped to A vertically flipped table. Keith watch for a few second then started looking around the room there wasn’ t much in the room beside a Small Deck sat next to the Table bound Galra and on that deck was several from what he guess where surgical tool and also there was A Very familiar looking Blade. An the moment Keith saw that blade he knew he was where he’ s suppose to be. Keith slowly started to get onto his feet it was very cramped has he crouched in the vent followed by him putting his feet onto the vent grate  and kicked out the  open vent cover and jumped down

The druid was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the red paladin and was going to retaliate only to be punched in the face causing them to stumble backward .As this happened Keith summoned his Bayard and thrust it forward aiming for the druid's shoulder but do to the druid tripping on his robes causing Keith Bayard to stab into the druid’s chest. Keith held his breath as he watched the Druid's body started to violently distort the just disappear in a flash of purple light .

Keith had no clue what just happened. Did he just kill the druid or did they just teleport out after being stabbed in the chest . But he didn’t have  time to think about what just happened. So he quickly turned to face The Table bound and unconscious Galra who he now knew was Thace. He did a quick scan of Thace’s Vital signs with his helmets scanner and found that Thace was satiable but he also found out that Thace had a cracked Jaw ,several cracked ribs and a survey concussion. Keith quickly moved towards the table and started to undo the energy cuffs as he did Thace started to wake come too

Thace opened his eye an he saw a buried figure doing something .he couldn't tell who it was by sight but the scent the figure was giving off was very familiar to him   “ Krolia Is that you why are you here” Thace said weakly he blinked a few times letting  his Vision return an saw the red paladin who had just finished undoing his right hand binding while looking at him 

“ uh sorry I'm not this Krolia”  Keith said as he walked over to the left hand binding 

“ I got this just hand me my blade the watch the door “ Thace said as as he undid the left hand binding

“  Alright” Keith replied as he walked over to the medical table and grabbed Thace's blade He quickly handed it to Thace 

“ So the plan as begin then ?”   Thace asked as he took back his blade and used it to remove the lg binding 

“ Yes it as and we have “ Keith looked at the timer “  Nine minute until the E.M.P goes off an this place turns into the universe biggest coffin for anyone still in here “  Keith said as he summoned up his Bayard are and walked toward the door  opening and quickly cut down the two sentries guarding this room 

“ You have An E.M.P set up Good to know. Now  what’s you plan for extraction the two of us “ Thace asked as he followed Keith out of the room then down the hall wall leading Keith toward a emergency stairwell that's was put in place it there was a fire on any level  

“ Same way I got in.“Keith then tapped on the side of his helmet” This is Red -1 I Have secured the V.I.P requesting EVAC “Keith wait a few seconds then 

“ This is Black -1 reading you loud and clear Red -1 the Extraction point will be the same as drop off point .Copy” Shiro said 

“ Copy that Black one “ Keith replied as he and Thace ran up the stairwell

Out in the battle 

“Keith is heading back to the Extraction point “Shiro said 

“ We Heard I’ll get there once I get this Guy off Hunk “ Lance said as he froze a few fighter And a V-type that was tailing hunk

“ Don’t worry I got it “ Jay said as he had the Valkyrie tear out the core of A V-type follow by him slamming that same core into the Face of another V-type that tried t get the drop on them. After that The Valkyrie started flying back towards the Extraction point. But was stopped when Something Slammed into to them Followed by them being smashed against the Hull of Central command.by a Very Familiar Harlequin\  faced Robeast 

 Hello Jay it’s been a while  Quinn said with a very noticeable joy in his Voice as He grabbed onto the Valkyrie shoulders  dragged the Valkyrie along the Hull

“ Yeah it has been and it Should as been long. Someone get Keith I'll handle this one]”Jay replied as he  closed the Drill wing round the two of them again and started spinning send the two off in a random Direction to continue there fight 

“ I’m on it “ Pidge said 

“ I Don’t think So “ A New voice said over the comms as a Massive hand  made out of destroyed warships parts and damaged V-type came out of no where an grabbed onto the Green lion. Followed by it being thrown. The Green lion flow through space until it smashed into the Bridge of a destroyed Warship stay motionless  

“Pidge You alright?” Lance  asked as he flow the blue lion worried bout her 

“I’m fine “ Pidge replied  as the green lion started  moving again 

“Guys look out !!” Hunk yelled as he Flow the Yellow lion in front of the both of them and took the Full force of two ion Cannon round causing a huge explosion  to engulf the Yellow lion

Both Pidge and lance were in stunned by What the just watched  . But as the explosion cloud dissipated The Yellow lion floated there but now it had heavy armor covering it

‘Hunk You alright” Lance asked 

“ Yeah I'm  good thought I was about to die for a second there” Hunk replied with a smile on his face 

“ Well I wasn’t trying to kill you I was aiming to disable or badly damage . But not kill” Harley said as she pushed a side the pieces of debris to reveal the new design of the war dog or as she now called it the Snap Dragon IT was Shorter then the original and was missing two of it’s arms. An it had a weird Turtle like body it had two shoulder mounted Canon and the head was like the gladiator’ s and the face plate looked like a harlequin mask 

“ You Should have aimed to kill then it would have been easier to handle them while their were in Shaken by the dead of their friend. But with your brother handling the real threat I think to two of us can handle four lions  “ Skyver said as he appeared his robeast looked the same as his first. But now it slowly moved next to the snap dragon the massive hand made of junk dismantled itself and it pieces started circling the Polaris making  a two rings of  debris followed by cage of electricity surround all them stopping the Cubes from 

“ Look Alive team.’ Shiro said as he flow in front of the other three lion [Keith you might have to find another way out of there we’ve run into some trouble ] But there was nothing but static “No” Shiro said softly to himself know that Keith had no idea what was going on out here. Followed by the though of { Oh Shit} as he dodged out the way of a wave of Scrap metal  

Back in the Central command Keith and Thace ran through the Hall toward the extraction point . But as they were getting closer to the Hanger something felt off causing him to stop.

“What’s wrong ?’Thace asked 

“ Something fells wrong “Keith then tried to contacted Shiro Only to get Static. He then tried Pidge only static. Then he tried to Jay

“Hey buddy can't really talk right now in a bit of a fight ] Jay said as he parried a sword swing from the Halberd

"Ok what happened to the others then ?"Keith asked worried

“ They are currently fighting two robeast in massive Electrical cage . So you might have to fined away out if I can AH  “ Jay was cut off  followed by static.

‘ Shit looks like we need to fine Another way out .” Keith said 

“ Well the best plan are only as strong as the paper they are written. Good thing i know where my person vessel is now follow me if were quick Zarkon will never” Thace was cut off when he saw Zarkon stranded at the other end of the Hall

“ Will never know what . That you escaped or that in the Hanger behind you there lays an Weapon that will disable the power to the station. Which would Allow you to do something . I don’ t know what your plans is and I don’t care to find out “ Zarkon said as he turned his Bayard into it’s Blade form and took up a fighting stands  “ Now either surrender now or die a warriors death.”  

Keith and Thace looked at each other .Thace was the first to acted and pulled out his Blade and Awoken it. Keith did the same but summoned his Bayard to his left hand  duel weirding his blades.

“ Oh good were doing this the fun way then “Zarkon Charged forwards towards the two of them 

While that  battle was going on The Valkyrie and the Halberd were also dueling it out. Both had land on what remained of the repair bay as their dueling ground

‘Rude of you to talk to someone else during are duel “Quinn said as he blocked a spear thrust

“It was rude for you to interrupt that call “ Jay replied as they parried at Blade strike Followed by then doing another spear strike 

“Well I don’t want my bosses to hear what I'm about tell you” Quinn said as he let go of his shield and grabbed  onto the spear .’ The Families of Lance McClain, Hunk Garret and Parents of the Holt are in Danger and so is the earth. And Zarkon as built himself what your friend in blue calls a robeast he might be going to it’s right now” Quinn said 

“what did you say “ Jay asked as fear ran up himself 

“your teammates familiar are in trouble and Zarkon as a robeast build to take on both you and Voltron on and he might be coming to join the fight soon”

‘Why should I trust you” Jay asked As he pulled the Spear back and jumped back and took up a defensive 

“ Don’t know if I'm being honest just make your decision quickly because were getting some unwanted attention “ Quinn said as he spun his finger around 

Jay looked around  and Saw dozens  V-types surrounding them again. He quickly turned of the comms  “ Should we trust him “

“ No I believe we shouldn't but lets play along with it just in case “

Jay stayed quiet for a bit then turned on the comms again  “Alright you have my trust for now and if you lie to me I will”

“ You’ll kill me I know. “ Quinn said as he grabbed his Shield and Ready himself for a fight. But before he leaped into battle he hit a button on the control board sending a very important 

“ Well killing you isn't what I was going to say but ok.” Jay switched out the spear the scythe “let’s do this “Jay said a little unsure of this new found Alliances as the two charged forwards into . 

Back with the other paladin 

Pidge was the only one currently not captured and she used the green lion’s cloaking to well hide from the two robeasts who currently had the Yellow and blue lions were trapped in Polaris’s Magnetic pull with Metal clapping their mouth shut and keeping the tails locked in places . While the Black lion was in a Choke hold with a Barrel of a massive plasma Pistol pressed into the top of it head  by the Other robeast . An what was she supposed to do. She was now trapped in a electrical cage alone with two robeasts hunting for her 

“ Here Kitty Kitty Kitty all we want to do is talk to you “ Skyver said as he spun the two lions around him as he moved the debris around trying to uncover the location of the green lion 

“ Yeah we just want to talk Green bean ‘ Harley said with a small amount of twisted glee in her voice. As she held the black lion At gun point while she looked for the Green lion. An as she looked a light appeared on the control panel a signal from her brother

As the two looked for the green lion. Skyver got a private Signal from the bridge of central command . So he turned off his comms with Harley and answered the call  

"This is control.  Quinn as turned on us. Immediate termination of his sister is ordered by Lady Haggar "

"Understo " Skyver was cut off when the Polaris had it’s chest blown out io an ion beam . Skyver was confused for a few second before Harley voice came over the comms 

"Sorry Skyver it’s nothing personal" Harley said as she lowered the smoking plasma pistol and let go of the Black loin and moved the Snapdragon  towards the powerless Polaris and turned it around so Skyver   could see the harlequin mask “But we needed you out of the way”She then turned around thinking that the four lion would be there to continue a fight that doesn't need to continue or maybe they were going to thank you for what she did for them. But no they were busy destroying the Disk that made up the cage. making an opening for themselves and quickly used it to escape.

" how rude no thank ungrateful Paladins" "Hey bro Skyver is out of commission and the Paladins are free. But i wasn’t able to tell them about Zarkon's plan."

" Leave warning the Paladin of the possible Attack on their home world to Jay. For now will help the Paladins until we fine a good time for the two of us to escape so cause as much havoc as possible "Quinn said 

"On it " Harley said as she flow out of the opening the paladins made in the cage leaving a powerless Polari to float there . But unaware to her or to anyone there the remaining Disks stopped making the cage and slowly started to surround the powerless Polaris and started moving him back into the central command 

"Ok Shiro what was that ?" Hunk asked as he slammed the heavily armored Yellow lion into A V-type  that was Charging  towards them. The force of the impact caused the V-tpyes chest to cave in and crushed its core .

“ Don’t know . Jay Status  up date “

‘ I’m good made an uneasy Alliance with Quinn “ Jay replied as he slashed through a Fighter 

“ Why he tried to kill you he help whip out a rebel out post and near got us both killed “. Pidge said anger in her voice as she started attaching  a Warship 

”Lance McClain, Keith Kogane , Katie Holt ,Takashi Shirogane ,Hunk Garret , Mathew Holt  and the Planet named Earth. Zarkon was planning on Sending Skyver Harley and Quinn go to Earth to abduct your families and were looking my home world as well”

All four of them were quiet for a few seconds

“How do you know that they’re not lying to you ?” Shiro asked 

“ I don’t but I I'm willing to take the chance and if it turns out he is lying then i’ll just take him out. Now how Did you guys get out of that fight with the two robeasts “Jay asked

“ The Other Robeast Shoot The Polaris in the back and we left not wanting to be in a enclosed area with a robeast like and I’m now guessing that is someone Quinn knows?” Shiro asked 

” His sister “ Quinn chimed in

“ Hello” Harley Add as she rocket passed the Black lion and slammed into a Warships bridge caving it in 

Shiro thought it over as he destroyed a warship with his Jaw Blade. “Alright will work with them for now but if they turn out to betray us “

”It’s on me I know” Jay said as he switched out the Scythe for two new weapon that he commissioned one was a long barreled forearmed mounted ion cannon that rest on their left arm and on the right was what looked like a bigger version of an Olkier Blaster it engulfed the entire right hand Val Then started to unleash a hail of plasma bolts and ion rounds against the armada of Warships fights and what remained of the V-type.

“ Yes it will be now Keith status update” Shiro got nothing but silence back “Keith respawned “ Still silence  “Allure do you have a bet om Keith current location.?”      Shiro asked 

“yes we do he is currently at the extraction point.” Allura state

“That’ s weird I thought he was going to look for another way out something is wrong  “JAy say 

“Pidge”

“Way head of you” Pidge said Cutting Shiro off leaving the rest of them to handle the rest of the warships.

Moments earlier 

Zarkon Stood  in the Elevator heading towards the Hanger where the E.M,P Bomb/ As he stood there he thought back to his younger days when he and the other paladins would train with each other in the Castle of lions It brought a smile to his face as he reminisced about his past. Then he remembered his finally battle with Alfor it hurt him to fight his old friend.But it had to be done Alfor had betrayed him by Not helping fine a cure for Honerva and destroying Drasal. But a small part of himself  wish he could go back to the old days when everything was simpler with no empire no universal wars against him. But it was to later for that. The Elevator stopped and the Door opened.

He walked out of the Elevator and started walking toward the Hanger as he did he wonder which one of the humans was the pilot of the red lion he could Scratch off Shiro do to fighting him in the Astral plane for control of the Black lion and he could also scratch off  Mr.Garret seeing as he was of a more rotund figure and Mathew holt seeing as he was a problem for a few mouths before . Voltron Showed up.  That left Lance McClain Katie Holt And Keith Kogane. he would enjoy finding out he then turned the corner and so Both Thace and  the red paladin standing in front of the hanger bay  door. He just stood there and waited for them to notice him . He hear them talk then Thace turned and Saw him and stopped mid sentence  

“will Never know what that you escaped or that in the hanger behind you there lays a weapon that will disabled the power to the station. which will allow you to do something. I don’t know what your planning and I don’t care to find out “  H said as he turned his Bayard into it’s blade form and took up a fighting stance “Now either surrounded or die a warriors death 

Both Thace and the red Paladin Drew their weapon and readied themselves for a fight.

“ Oh good were doing this the fun away” He said to himself as he charged forwards and Swung at the red Paladin who quickly blocked the strike the blade locked and Zarkon leaned in so he could be face to Face with the red Paladin “  I have to ask  what is your name boy ”They asked as they used their free hand to grab thace’s strike 

Keith struggled to keep Zarkon's blade from slow digging into his armor. “  Why should I tell you” 

“ Because when you and your team  fall here today I want to remember you all "Zarkon said as he pulled Thace forward and shoulder checked  him sending thace stumbling back followed by Zarkon kicking Keith into the Hanger door. Then he swing Keith again.

Keith ducked out of the way of the strike and watched as the blade cut through hangar bay door Keith quickly thrust his mother blade forwards stabbing into Zarkon's gut " My name is Keith Kogane I hope you remember it in what little time you have left."

Zarkon growled in pain but smiled as he did it . Seeing as this was the first time in millennia that someone had actually hurt him " Good to know Keith and I will remember you" He said as he grabbed onto the blade that was in his gut and pulled it out and kicked Keith again but this time at full force sending Keith through the lower half of the cut hanger door. Send both the lower half of the door and Keith in to the hanger. Zarkon then quickly turned and swung at Thace. Who quickly blocked the swing

"Oh Thace I had such high hopes for you. Your record was flawless and I was thinking of making you a canadine for my new Paladins once a captured Voltron "Zarkon said as he took another swing at Thace 

Thace quickly blocked the strike But as he felt a pain shoot up his arm followed by being Slide down the Hallway by the force of the strike . Thace was a bit confused by what just happened but he did have time to process what just happened because Zarkon was Charging towards him and unleashed a fury of powerful strikes against him.  Thace was forced to go onto the defensive again just to survive the onslaught of powerful blade strikes  until Zarkon knocked Thace's Blade out of his hands then grabbed Thace by the faces and processed to throw him down the Hallway towards the hanger door. He then thrust his blade forwards and watched as his chain blade launched itself forwards towards Thace as he was hitting the ground. 

 Thace hit the ground hard but he quickly righted himself to  just nearly avoid being impaled by Zarkon's Bayard. He quickly summoned back his blade well he avoid being cut to ribbons by Zarkon simple moved his hand back an forth rapidly. Causing his blade to  whip around violently his blade craved up the hall. Thace continued to dodge the fury of the attack and moved quickly towards the Open hanger bay door. He ducked into the Hanger and activated the  secondary Blast door and locked it. Hopefully buying Him and Keith enough time to catch their breath he then to see Keith Struggle to get back up. He quickly moved towards him and started to help him up.

“ You alright Keith?” Thace asked 

“ Yeah I'm fine my armor took most of the damage. But It didn’t stop me from getting a few cracked ribs.”  Keith replied as his Bayard and his mothers  blade returned to their original forms “ Still not the worst pain I've been in “

“ What was the worsts ?” Thace asked as he helped Keith walk toward the object in the center of the room it was a lager Red And green  rectangular Device that was giving of low humming sound that was slowing getting louder.

“ My Jaw was dislocated by my teammates eldest Son  .”

“ How did they Manage that ?” Thace asked as the sound of a blade punching through metal could be heard 

“ Long story but my friends kid got a lucky shot in when his dad asked me to train him.” Keith said as he started walking on his own

“ Which friend is this if I may ask”

“ I’ll tell you when were not being attacked by the Emperor of are entire race” Keith said as he reawakened his mothers blade and put back his Bayard “ What’s are plan of Attack here?”  He asked as Zarkon’s blade punched throw the blast door and started to carve away into the room.

“  Can you contact your team and see if can pick us up because I believe that we don’t want Zarkon to destroy this thing here “ Thace asked as he pointed towards the E.M.P 

“ I tried that after I was kicked through the door. But my Helmets comms are rebooting. But my Tracker is on telling everyone where I am  Allura and the others where I am. So it’s only a matter of time until  someone get us Also yeah him destroy this would completely sideline the plan a second time ”  Keith said as he readied himself for a fight as the Blade into the at was carving through the door stopped disappeared followed by a huge chunk of the door was set flying forwards. The hunk of metal hit the ground causing  loud crashing sound to echo throughout the hanger .

“Sorry to keep you waiting “  Zarkon said as he walked through the hole he made . He turned his head to see his both of his foe standing in front the E.M.P Device . “  That looks important .” He said as he thrust his blade forwards it extended itself rapidly towards the two foe.

Thace was the first to act an knocked the tip of the Blade away from the E.M.P . Then Keith Ran .

This cause Zarkon to recall his blade and started blocking the strike of the red Paladin. Zarkon  Parrying each of the red paladin attack with ease .But as he did he saw potential  in him“  You lack form and Focus boy “ He said as he blocked another strike “ Who trained you one of those Gladiator on in the Castle of lions training deck.”

“  Self taught “ Keith said as he Swung again but this time Zarkon Caught the Blade mid swing Causing Keith to panic a little

Zarkon smile” With proper training you could be a master swords just like my son but sadly that I cant let you become that master   “ He then raised his blade and was about to bring it down. When Thace's Blade blocked the Strike Followed by Keith puling his Blade back cutting deep  into the palm of Zarkon hand Then followed by Keith thrust  his blade forwards aiming for Zarkon Chest 

His Blade Punched through the Breast Plate of Zarkon Armor. Then the secondary layer,then the third ,then the Fourth Layers of protection until it finally hit Skin. Keith continued to push the blade deep into Zarkon's Body Cutting through Skin ,Muscle bone and then through a lung

Zarkon Eye widened as something he hadn’t  felt in millennia flowed through his body. It was Pain true pain and it was a wonderful feeling it made him fell alive again. But it was short lived As Keith pulled his blade out causing Zarkon to fall to his knees   he used his blade to hold himself up While he used his hand that had a deep cut in it. to cover the gaping hole in his chest . An from that wound leaked his Blood which was a dark purple . The blood hit the floor making a small splashing sound 

 Thace  held their nose the  moment he smelt the terrible odor coming off of the blood it smelt rotting flesh .”  What have you done to yourself ?” Thace asked

But before he could get his Answer a scream echo through out the halls followed by a bright purple Light appeared next to Zarkon followed by two Bolts of purple  lighting slammed into the two of them electrifying both of  them then lifted them both into the air  “ I’ll Kill you both for what you’ve done to my love” A female voice yelled as they throw both Thace and Keith away from Zarkon. 

Both men hit the ground and quickly righted themselves and looked towards who ever throw them and Saw a women in dark purple robe with yellow lining it. Standing next two Zarkon her hands were cover by a pitch black energy 

“Who is that” Keith asked he dodged an om coming energy bolt the women shot at him,

“ That is Haggar head of Zarkon Science division and Zarkon's Wife  “ Thace replied as he also dodged a bolt of energy .

“ Great is their son going to show up next” Keith asked as he dodged another bolt 

“ Unlikely he was exiled centuries ago “ Thace said as he throw his blade at the stationary Magic user . 

Haggar quickly through up a Dome  to protect her and her husband. An as the Dome Went up the blade hit it and was sent spinning into the air.Thace quick grabbed it out of the air and as he did dozens of sentries ran in weapons raised 

“ Oh great more problems to take care of  “ Keith said 

Inside of the dome 

Haggar was busy catching her breath seeing as  she did just teleport   through six hundred level of metal floor just to save her husband from himself. She then turned around to look at him kneeing on the ground blood dripping from his chest wound

“   You fool you over confident, Prideful arrogant Fool”     She said as she slammed him across the faces a few times before she started healing him

“ Thank you my love “ Zarkon said as the hole in his chest slowly started to close up followed by him vomiting up blood   

Haggar sneered as she saw how much blood was on the floor now “ You true have became complacent if one of those two were able to do that to you”  She said trying to sound Annoyed but her worry peeked through 

“ Sorry if I worried you my love “ Zarkon said as he got back onto his feet 

“ Don’t apologize just let me finish before you started moving again” Haggar said 

outside of the dome Both Keith and Thace had finished  cutting down the last of the sentries that had arrived.

“  More are coming .”Thace yelled as more Sentries and now soldiers were running towards them 

“ Great “ Keith said he moved towards Thace  By as he said that he hear the sound of metal claws hitting the floor followed a sudden Shadow Appeared over top of him. Keith looked up to see the Green lion a few feet away . Then he watch as the green lion fired a Gaia beam towards the door way causing Roots and Vines to erupt from the metal walls and floors blocking of the door . [ Alright you two get in ] Pidge said as she lowered the green lions head to pick up the two 

Thace and Keith looked at each other and started running towards the green lion and as they did the dome opened up and Zarkon's Bayard shot out aiming for Keith . An Keith didn’t have time to react to it .But Thace did and he pushed Keith out f the way and the result of that action had most of his arm .leaving only half of his upper arm to remain Thace hit the ground hard as the blade retracted and return to is owner 

“ Thace”  Keith yelled as he was about  turned ran to Thace's side and helped him up 

“ No just go finish the this mission leave me ”  Thace Said as he held  the bleeding stump of his arm powerless to stop Keith from helping him up and started moving towards the green lion open mouth 

“ Not with out you “ Kieth said as the two of them continued towards their evac.

But as they did The dome opened again an Zarkon Shot out and made his way towards the two slow moving targets . But as he did a Smaller Version of the Gaia beam slammed into the floor in front of him causing roots and Vines to wrap themselves  around him  and tried to pull him down to the Floor. Seeing this Haggar was going to try and stop them but had to quickly through up another dome as the green lions tail quickly pointed itself at her and fired at her  

This Gave Thace and Keith Enough time into the Green lion “ Where on board pidge “ Keith said 

{ Alright } Pidge replied as she stopped firing the tail Gun  she then turned on the green lions cloak and started to heading towards The Castle of Loins.{ Jay were clear Blow it }

“Alright” Jay replied as he tapped on he wrist mounted computer

Back inside of the Hanger Zarkon broke free of the Vine and root that entangled them. He turned to See his wife frantically typing on the device he guess she was trying to stop it from detonating   

“ No No No” Hagar said as she  stop trying and slammed her fists on the E.M.P . She then tried use her magic to disabled the device but stopped when the E.M.P bomb spoke 

[ Remote detonation trigger ] The E.M.P started to glow brightly  an rumble loudly followed by electricity  started arcing of off the bomb   [10,9,8,7]

Haggar quickly teleport towards Zarkon grabbed his  right arm and teleport-ed them to a nearby Lad. Leaving the Bomb behind [  4,3,2,1] Then the bomb active and set out a wave of energy that passed through walls , Floors and ceiling. The wave Shut down every device, Sentry and armor system of ever soldier that the wave passed until it had completely shut down the whole station.

From the Outside the Paladins and Harley and Quinn watched as the light on the outside started turning off  until the lights were all out and the station started to slowly flow in a aimless direction

“ E.M.P Detonated Is the Vip and Keith secured ?”  Jay asked hoping for the best.

“ Yeah they’re secured “ Pidge said as the door to the cockpit opened “ And their hear now do you what to talk to OH MY GOD” Pidge screamed as she turned her head to see a blood covered Keith helping a bleeding armless Thace into cockpit. 

“ What happened it Keith Alright “ Shiro asked

“ Yeah I'm fine just covered in blood” Keith said as he placed Thace the bed that all the lions had at the back of their head for when they were on missions with out the castle of  lions being around.

“ What covered in blood are you alright how bad are you injured  !?” Lance asked worry very 

“  I’m  fine it’s not my blood” Keith replied as he started looking for something”

 ‘ That doesn't make it better. What happened ?” 

“ Zarkon cut my arm off” Thace said as he was trying not to get to much blood on the bed and was slowly starting to pass out from the blood lose 

”  Pidge where do you keep the med kit ?” Keith asked  

“ Here “ Pidge said as she reached under the control console and then tossed it towards Keith . Then return to flying towards the castle 

“ Thank you and thank you for the concern lance   “ Keith said with a small smile on his face  as he opened it and tried to remember  what to grab 

“ If you want to stop the bleed of a recently detached limb you the disinfection spray followed by the Clotting foam” Jay said as he point blanked a Warship with a his Ion canon

‘  Thank you doc” Keith said as he followed jay instruction 

“ Not  doctor yet ‘ Jay replied 

“Keith  finished applying the Clotting foam to Thace’s stump “ Alright were done here. How you doing Thace ?” Keith asked 

Thace opened his eyes a little The looked at the stump that was once his arm “  I’ve been tortured , Lost my arm and lose a good amount of blood but besides that. I am fine or what could be considered fine’ Thace said 

“ Well we can fix you missing arm problem. My Pal Jay can make you a new one once we finish the mission. So don’t worry about that “ 

“I won’t now if you don’t mind I'm going to rest for a bit before we land “ Thace said as he closed his eyes to rest 

“ Alright then “ Keith said he put away the med kit supplies and walked up to pidge to see several screens the team fighting the Armada of warships then he noticed two robeasts fighting along side of the other” Hey Pidge why are those robeasts  helping .?” Keith asked as put the med kit back 

“  Turns out that the twins were planning betraying  Zarkon and their using are attack to follow through with their own plan. “

‘ And we just believed that ?” 

“ well they also told us that Zarkon was planning on holding Lance‘s Hunk’s and my own families hostage. So we would just surrender and Zarkon also as a robeast of his own and was planning on using it against us “ Pidge said as she landed the Green lion in it's hanger 

“ And again we are trusting them ‘ 

“ Yes we are for the time being now lets get Thace here some help and you get in back in your lion”  Pidge said as she land inside of the cloaked  

In the bridge of the Castle

 “The green lion is on board Coran said 

“ Good Coran tell the others to be ready to go “ 

“ On it “ Coran said 

“ Alright Allura you can do this “ Allura whimpered to herself as she placed her hands on the control pillars. As she did this she looked down on Galra Central command “ As Lance would say It’ s show time” she said as DE-cloaked 

Back inside of Galra central Commands Bridge

Zarkon walked into the Bridge and saw that the room was covered in the red glow of the emergence lights, along with the Alarms blaring.

“   What do we have “ The emperor asked as he sat down on his thrown. 

“ Were running on are final back up system my lord all we have short range scanner, Short range comms are still up , Life support in barely running and the artificial gravity only work at half power  “ one of the Console officers said 

“ Status on casualties ?” 

“ We're still calculating.”

“ And what of are attackers?” 

“ They are still Fighting sir “ 

“ Alright before we lose power did you locate the Castle of lions.”

“ No My lord”

“ Alri” 

Zarkon was cut of as the entire Station that was sort tilled from the power lose suddenly right itself followed by a bright blue light Appeared 

“ What was and is that ?” Zarkon asked as he go up from his feet throne and walked toward to one of the console and looked at the screen of it and saw a mass ring that floated above them and in the center of that ring was the Castle of lion. He felt his heart stop for a split second . “ Tell everyone to fire on the ring  before it’s full actives “

But it was to later as a massive wormhole opened up and started to quickly suck in the station .

Out in space 

The team watched as the wormhole opened. An start pulling in command station.

“ Holy Quiznak what is that?” Harley asked as she stopped fighting to look at the six mile wide hole in the fabric of reality and watched as the Valkyrie,her brother and the cube entered into the wormhole 

 “ That’s are exit now get a move on or get felt behind “ Lance said as he rocket the blue lion towards the wormhole followed by Yellow lion and Black lion

Harley shrugged to herself and followed the loins into the wormhole and as she went in she found herself somewhere new. She guessed she was near or inside of a nebula of some sort do to the red tint to the space around them  . She also saw spread out this open area of space was thousands of Ships of various sizes, Modes and types along with hundreds of smaller version oof those for cubes that were along with Paladins  .An all of which were slowly converging on her at first she though they were coming towards her and she was about to start opening fire on them but then The Halberd flow in front of her come 

“ Don’t shot “Quinn said 

“ Sorry reflect” She said as she lowered her weapons and remembered that the Command center was right behind her  

“ It’s alright now follow me the other are waiting for us He said as started moving towards the Castle of lions  

“ Not yet” Harley said as she flow the war dog V2 upwards towards the command station main bridge as she ascended she watched as everyone in the bridge started to scramble out of the bridge. leaving only Zarkon standing their alone in the bridge. A smile creeped on to her face as she leveled her shoulder ion canon and point blanked the fired both of then the two beams completely annihilating the Bridge and hopefully killing The emperor.

But before the smoke cleared Zarkon Charged forwards shield first and shield bashed the head of the Wardog v2 sending it backwards he then switch it back to its blade form and used it to get back to the now destroyed bridge

“ Son of a bitch “ Harley yelled as she righted her mech and was about to retaliate but Couldn’t find the emperor” Where did he go” She yelled as she slammed he fist into the control panel Followed by her unloading her ion canons  on the powerless station causing  explosion to erupted across the surface of the station. Which was followed by Everyone Warship and fighters started to unleash a volley of Plasma rounds , Ion beams , Missiles and M.A.C rounds. All of which slammed into Command Station 

“ Looks like shits popping of without  us  ” Jay said as he watched the explosions go off

“  Then Why don’t go and help then. “  Pidge said as she and the rest of the group waited for Keith

“ What am I going to do none of my weapon wont cut deep enough to do the damage we want “

“ You have a bow that can punch through anything “ Lance said

Jay was Quiet 

“ You forgot again didn’t you “ Shiro add 

Jay stayed silent while he  summoned his Bayard to his hand  then place it into the key slot and summoned the bow and  started to charge it up and aimed it towards the life supports power source” Hey Buddy you in the red lion yet “ Jay said as he unleashed the Arrow. The Arrow punched through the station hull completely destroying the power sources

“ I’m here” Keith said as the red lion flow out of the castle and joined up with the others 

“ Alright team form Voltron “Shiro said 

Jay and Val watched as the team formed Voltron 

“never get tried of seeing  that “ Jay said as the team fnished forming Voltron.

“  Alright team lets finish this “ Shiro said as Voltron Flow past the Valkyrie as it Shot of Another Arrow  

In Central Commanded 

Zarkon ran through the hall of the station as it shook from everything hitting it.. Then the Station shook volatilely as something hit the station followed by a ear shattering explosion causing Zarkon into a near by wall

[ Life support as been disabled. ] The P.A System

“ Dammit it all’” Zarkon said as he got back on his feet and continued to run 

Then Another Station shaking explosion happened 

[ propulsion syst] The P.A was cut off as a third explosion went of   

Zarkon picked up the pace and keep on running until he made to his Wife’s lab where she made her monsters, The door opened when he was close enough He walked into the control room and  Haggar readying  his mech titan 

“Is it full charged ?” He asked as he walked pass her and quickly started to replace his damaged armor 

“ Yes it is “ She replied as she turned to face her husband “ I would try to stop you from doing this seeing as it will be you vs any army of rebel but then Again. we would not have been able to conquer most of the know universe if you were so stubborn. “   She said as she walked up to him and helped him get his new armor which looked the same to his old one “ This armor will allow you to quickly connected the Titans neural link and it will also lessen the pain you take when They land a hit on you  “ 

“ That is good to hear it’s going to be useful in the coming battle only .” He said as he flexed his arm “ Now before I go I have one request of you”

“An what is that my love ?”

“ Go down to the quintessence extractor and if things get to dicey for me I want you to drain  Voltron or the Valkyrie.”

“ Alright just promises you’ll come back to me“ Haggar said with worry very visible in her voices 

Zarkon removed her grabbed her chin and kissed her forehead “I will try my love I will try” He said before leaving the control room and walked down into the hanger. As he did he looked towards the titan . It looked like him But it had massive dragon like wings on it’s back” Now let’s deal with these problems of Are's ” 

Back in space 

The fleet continued to unload on the powerless station While this happened  the Valkyrie, Halberd, Voltron and snapdragon   watched the fleet’s onslaught. 

“ You know I though this was going to be Harder “ Jay said as the Valkyrie fired off another bow  sat on top of a one of the original cubes 

“ Don’t jinx it “ Lance said 

“  I almost died  An thace lost an arm “ Keith said kind of annoyed 

“ Sorry just speaking out loud. Speaking of thace. Beau how is are new guest doing.”    Jay asked 

“ He is stable but do to the extent of his injures it will take about a month for him to fully recover “ Beau said 

“Good to know. Allura how are you doing?’ Shiro asked 

“ I’m fine a bit  tried but fine. Now if I may ask why have you stopped attacking the station?”  Allura asked a little confused

“ While my reason for stopping is because well I fell kind of bad for the people ion there because well there people doing their job it’s not a good job but they were just doing it  for their people after what Your father did to them Also I didn't want to be caught in the cross fire ’“ Jay said as he leaned back in the pilots chair  

Allura winced a little remember that this was in part her fathers fault  “ And the rest of you ?” She asked  

“ Cross fire “  the Hunk, Keith, Pidge and the twins  said in unison 

“ and the fact that it shows the universe at large that this new found coalition can hold it’s own against the empire. ”   Shiro said

Allura though it over and agree” That makes sense” 

Then a voice came over the comms “ This is orange one reporting something is coming out of a hanger from the underbelly of the station . Oh god it Agh” Orange one was cut off and a purple beam was seen coming out from under belly of the station just like they said followed by a purple blur coming out from there as well. It moved quickly and several small scaled explosions going of as the blur moved towards them 

“oh Shit “  Jay was the first to react as the Valkyrie  got off the cube they were sitting on and rocketed forwards towards the blur as they moved they summoned the Scythe to them and was about to swing at it. But before he could the Blur slammed into them. Followed by them being grabbed by the face and being dragged long by this  new foe. 

Jay and Vall had no clue what just happened and could real thing about as the felt themselves no longer moving towards the others but somewhere else. They tried to swing again to cut the hand that was obscuring their sight only to be smashed in to something followed by a short burst of electricity  Disabling their systems. 

“ What the Quzinak is with everyone and fucking electricity”  Jay  yelled  as the lights turned back on but before he could do anything a bright purple light appeared from the hand hold their head “ oh Quiz “

The others had watched their friend disappeared then watched  as a nearby dreadnaught  moved a little from the force of something impacting it followed by it exploding into a ball of fire and metal. 

“Jay report “  Shiro asked but got nothing in return 

“ Don’t waste your time he won’t answer” Zarkon said over the comms. As the smoke suddenly and quickly dispersed and showed the stunned Paladins his robeast The titan and in front of him was a motionless Valkyrie “ I  though he’d be strong enough to survive   “  Zarkon said as he grabbed onto one of the Valkyrie’s wings and brought it closer to him and looked it in the face “ For all the men you killed all the ships and mechs destroyed. All the money you cost the empire.  An all it took was one Shot to termite you “    Zarkon said as he tosses the powerless Valkyrie to the side 

Voltron charged forwards swing their blade wildly as anger took control of all. An it was understandable they had just watched two of their friends who had been there since the beginning had just been killed in front of them and simple tossed a side like they was nothing.

Zarkon was on the defensive as he used his heavily armored wrist gauntlets to Block the furious blows of the now anger Voltron. HE knocked a side another blade swing and landed a powerful right hook to Voltron’s head sending it backwards. But as voltron flow back Dozens Plasma  bolts from fighter and nearby Rebel warships opened fire .Zarkon closed his wings around him knowing that even with all the Plamsa proof metals and alloys that made up the Titans armor it would weaken under this much fire power. So he summoned his Bayard to his  hand an slammed it into the Key-slot  and Activated the wrist mounted Chain blade. He quickly parted his wings Swung his blade as he spun the upper half of the titan in a full Three-Sixty. He spun around rapidly as his blade sliced through Fighters an damaging the nearby warships. Then he stopped spinning and righted himself and was about to look back towards Voltron only to have Halberd kick into his chest at full force pushing him back

He righted himself again but then came the War Zone it’s Massive metal fists They smashed against the titan’s head repeatedly. Each hit pushed the titan back bit by bit . Zarkon tried to swing his blade at the War dog  but the Halberd stopped the blade mid swing . Giving The snapdragon an opening to grab onto The Titan’s other hand and began to spin rapidly and after a few seconds of spinning they throw The titan back towards central command

The Titan stopped itself right before it could hit the hull of The command station. But before he could do anything the Halberd charged forwards Shield first and slammed into them and slammed them into the Command center. The Halberd then attempted Stabbed their blade into the Side of the Titan. But his blade shattered on contact with the heavy armor. 

“ Shit” Quinn said as he Flow the Halberd back but the Titan grabbed onto the Halberd's leg. Then Slammed it against The Hull of central Command. Followed by them being thrown away.  But once the Halberd was far enough away a Volley of Missiles plasma Rounds, and a few ion beams Zarkon brought the Titian’s Wings up to block the onslaught again. The wing were useful in blocking the shots but it left him stationary. But after a few seconds of being fired upon Then the firing stop so He quickly parted his wings and saw that Voltron charging towards him blade first.

Zarkon acted quickly and grabbed the blade before it could make contacted  with his chest.

This brought both of them to a stand still With voltron pushing their engines to the max while Zarkon used all of the Titan’s strength to avoid being stabbed in the chest again. 

“ So much Anger towards me over the death of your friend there “ Zarkon said trying to egg the Paladins on” Who was he to you all . A rival ,friend, Brother, A lover or maybe even a father he was Altean After all their D.N.A never shows their real age  “ Zarkon said with a smile on his face 

“ He was a good man And that’s all you need to know “ Keith said with a growl to his voice 

“ Good such a relative term . Now how many of people as this good man of your killed today. How many have all of you killed. How many men and women die today just so you could get at me ?”   Zarkon asked as he suddenly twisted his hand and sent Voltron’s blade plunging their blade into the Station. Followed by him grabbing Voltron by the face quickly turned around and slammed Voltron into Central command, fired up the titan’ s engines and began dragging then along the side of Station.” How many people have you widowed how many child have you orphaned.“ Zarkon Yelled as The titan and Voltron reached the top of Central command the moment The Station was no longer in the way The titan spin itself still holding onto Voltron and throw them quickly followed by Zarkon point both of the Titan’s hands towards his foe and fired off two high powered Plasma round at Voltron.

But before the two round hit their targets A cube took absorbed the two shots then fired them back on him. So he brought the right wing to block the two shots the two Rounds explode on contact with his wings sending him backwards a bit he moved the wing back and as he did as swarm of smaller versions of those cubes appeared and started to surround him 

“ The hell is with these cubes” He yelled as he active the other wrist Blade and started cutting into the cubes. But that only made it worse as every time he cut it just made more. When he realized this He stopped and the cubes started converging on him. It was like something out of a Horror move as the Swarm of Cubes started to merge together with the Titan in the center of it 

Everyone watched as the Titan frantically tried to rip itself free of the Cubes.But the just kept coming until it slow engulfed  The Titan trapping it in side of a Much Larger then the Original one.

”Is it over ?” Lance asked

But his answers was quickly revealed as crakes started to appear in the Cube that leaked out a dark purple energy. The crakes in the cube started to get bigger and bigger as more of that purple energy leaked through the cube then it exploded . Sending huge chunks of the now shattered cubes flying in random directions and the force of the explosion sent All three of mech backwards  

Voltron quickly right themselves only to have the titan slam into them .

“I’m ending this now !!” Zarkon yelled as he pushed voltron down back towards where they originally came from and into range of the Quintessence extractor. But as he pushed Voltron down A Bolt of energy slammed against the Side of the Titan causing them to let go of Voltron 

See that freed the quickly got away from the Titan and Re-summoned their blade and top up a defensive stance. As they did The Warzone and The Halberd Came down and readied themselves to continue the fight . Then a voice come over the comms

“ Next time you leave someone for dead make sure they're actually dead “ Jay said as the de-Summoned the Bow and Summoned up a Pair of Yellow and white Gauntlet that when they knocked their  its knuckles together caused electricity  to arc between the two of them

Zarkon look from Voltron to The Valyrie then The Halberd then towards the Warzone . Zarkon active his personal comms “ Is everything Ready My Dear?”  He asked 

“ Everything is ready my Love “ Haggar replied 

“ Good once you see either Voltron or the Valkyrie fire on them” He said as he suddenly had the Titan  dive bomb downward. This caused the four mech to follow him. 

“ There is no way your getting away from us “ Val said as she fired up her engines and rocket towards The Titan. They quickly caught up to the Titan and slammed into to the and tried to grab onto the Titan’s Head .But the Titan pushed back and shoulder c the Valkyrie checked  away and quickly fired off a plasma round  that hit the Valkyrie head on and stopped them  only for a few seconds .

So Zarkon pushed the Engines to their limits and made a good distanced between himself and His foes but Voltron Was quickly closing that gap and that's what he wanted as he quickly stopped the engines . .This Caught the Paladins for Guard As they Slammed into the back of the Titan and then was quickly grabbed onto and then thrown down wards by the Titan sending them into the firing Range of the Extractor .

An if on Quo the moment Voltron was in Range Haggar and the two Druids with her fired off a bolt of dark purple energy towards Voltron. The Bolt slammed into Voltron and Drained completely it of it’s energy. Causing voltron split apart 

“ Yes” Zarkon yelled with a smile on his face only to be tackled By The Halberd and Snapdragon

“ Noo” Allura said as she felt the pain the lions felt But she would not let history repeat itself “  Coran Get us in closer” She ordered 

“Yes Princes “ Coran said as he moved the CAstle of lion forwards and Readied the Partical Canon 

As this was Happening The twins tried to  pummel the Titan. But both were suddenly and Violently pushed away by a burst of energy. Both quickly righted themselves and readied themselves to fight the emperor. As they did they both saw that the Titan had a strange dark purple aura surrounding it. But The aura quickly faded away but as it did for a quickly second both swore they saw a small  figure sitting on the shoulder. Then it quickly disappeared. Then Zarkon spoke .

“ I’m going to fi”But Zarkon was cut of by the Valkyrie kicking the Titan right in the head sending flying to the right 

“I’ll will you apart and burn what’s left of you!!” Jay Yelled As he rocket the Valkyrie forwards and started whaling on the Titan. “ You hypocritical piece of Shit. How many innocent people has you mercilessly murder just because they said no to being under your rule. “  Jay barked as he Hit the titan again this time at full force and once the fist made contact  it caused a massive flash of light followed by the Titan be pushed back by massive bolt of lighting. which Pushed the Titan Into one of those tower like structure contented to the main station then explode one the titan stopped moving 

“You like this I call them Odin’s Fury got them off of your Planet Pal. They work like this the more I hit you the more the Kinect energy builds up in then and I can unleashed the energy from one of then  in one of two ways a powerful punch that can rock your world like it did just now or it can do this   “ Jay said as he summoned up their Spear “Now have a taste  of your own medicine.”  Jay said as he throw the Now electrically  charged Spear at the Titan .

Zarkon Quickly Brought up the titans right arm to block the spear only to have it punch through the heavily armor plated wrist Gauntlet  causing pain to shot through his own wrist. Followed by A Massive electrical  surge through out the Titan’s Systems. Leaving it some what disabled .Zarkon Then Watched As the Valkyrie Summoned up their scythe And charged forwards 

“ Reboot All systems now” Zarkon Yelled as  he brought up the Same arm watched as the Valkyrie’s scythe cut deeper into his arm “AAAHH” Zarkon yelled out in pain  as the power came back on. Once back on he proceeded to grab onto the Valkyrie’s wing pulled them in an head butt them and followed it up by using his remaining hand to fire off a point blank plasma round sending them back .Only for a Gauss round to slam into them followed by two more. Then a came  two ion beams but He Quickly countered them .

Jay,Val,Quinn and Harley watched as the two beams were absorbed by The titans wings followed by Bright purple Marks appearing a cross the Titans body Then the wings unfurled  

“ Oh this is going to be fun  “ Zarkon said as the Titan Charged forwards at a unforeseen speed

Back with the lions 

Shiro Awoke and started trying to active the black lion only to find that the power was out “Can anyone hear me Keith, Pidge, Lance, Hunk”   No response” Matt , Allura” No response again “ Leonidas  you still with me “

“ Yes Shiro I am weaken but still and I won’t be leaving anytime soon “ Leonidas said as power started to slowly return

“ And the other ?” Shiro ask

“They are fine contact with them will be reestablished Now “

 “ Paladins are you all right Please responded”   Allura said 

“I’m fine” Hunk replied 

“ I’m still standing “Pidge replied

“I’m not doing so hot but I am still able to fight” lance replied 

“ I’m doing peachy “ Keith said 

“ Good to hear . Now are you able to control your lions ?” 

“ No what ever hit  me has drain a lot of my power and would have killed the Paladin if not for my intervention. It will take time for me to regain a decent amount of power. So someone will need to cover use 

 “Jay and the twins are .In coming” Allura yelled as The Valkyrie slammed into the Yellow lion which sent both of them flying. Followed by War zone smashing another structure leaving a huge dent in it

The Valkyrie righted itself “Hey Guys when are you getting back into the fight shit just hit the fan real hard. Zarkon  can counter shit so we need to end this fast before” Jay was cut off when The Halberd Now missing both it’s legs , half of it’s face plate and a Caved in chest slammed into them

“You alight”Harley asked as she got the Snap dragon  ready for another round with the Titan. She retracted the shoulder mounted ion Canons and replace them with twin Rail guns she then Fired them both then charged forward

”i’m fine just going to sit this one out That last Punch damaged the Halberd’s power core repair system are going to time to. “

“ Alright and you guys?”Jay asked as he placed the Halberd near the Lions Before flying back towards the fight 

“ Still working on getting the power back on so hold out until then” Shiro said as he watched a blur of motion moved passed him and smashed into the same structure. An that blur was the Titan Holding onto Valkyrie that was now being slammed into the Metal Hull of the Station repeatedly before.  rapidly turned around and used the Valkyrie as a shield to block a Rail gun Shot.  from The Snapdragon then whipped his blade forwards and stabbing into the Snap Dragons  Chest and Used the Blade to send as massive Electrical surge through the blade and disabled them then Throw the Valkyries away  .

“ Now with them out of the way time to end “ Zarkon was cut off by a plasma bolt exploded against in the Titan’s face 

“ I’m not dead yet “ Quinn said as he held up a plasma pistol

The Titan raised it’ s right and fired off a Plasma beam that punched through the Halberds chest causing it to explode 

“ Hopeful your are now“Zarkon said as the smoke cleared from the Titan’s Head showing no visible damage to it. ‘ Now if there are no” He was cut of again as a particle beam slammed n to him and started pushing him back. As he was being pushed back he brought up his undamaged arm and used it to block  the beam .This allow him to steady the Titan and saw where the beam was coming and saw the Castle of lions. So he adjusted the Titan’s hand which caused the Beam to reflect of the hand an had it shoot out in to space destroying a unlucky fighter and cut into the underbelly  A rebel war ship severally damaging it. He then  Quickly moved his hand and started redirecting the beam. Baldy damaging Warships an destroying any fighter that was caught in the beams path. Then it cut through a part of the his own Station then head on hit The castle of lions. Causing severely explosions to erupted across the Castle hull and sending The Castle tumbling backwards

All five of the Paladins hear Allura scream through their lion and  watched in horror as the Ship they called home violently tumble through space .

“ Allura !” Keith and Shiro Yelled 

“Coran “ Lance yelled 

“Ryner “Pidge yelled 

“Shay”Hunk yelled 

All five felt their anger flair up and  caused their lions to jump start and Before Shiro could tell the other to form Voltron Lance, Pidge ,Hunk and Keith flow off  

“  GUYS WAIT “Shiro yelled but it was to late as the other started attacking Zarkon head. “ Great “ Shiro turned to look at the Castle of lion as it stopped itself Seeing this  Shiro rocket towards the fight an as he did Matt voice came over the comms

“ Sorry were late”  Matt said as he hundreds of Fighters swarmed the Titan .Shiro smiled as he summoned up the Black lions Jaw blade 

In the bridge of the Castle of lions 

Allura picked herself of the floor With help from Kolivan 

“Are you all Princess “Kolivan asked as he help her on her feet

“ I’m fine Coran damage report “ 

“ Were have several breaches but we’ll  seal them  as fast as we fine them Beau   is keeping us undated ”    Coran said 

“Alright Shay, Rax How are you and how is the Crystal doing?” She asked 

“ We’re Fine and the Crystal is doing  good as well “ Shay said 

“ Yeah were good some of the new crew are a little hurt do to the sudden Jolt Worse thing we got down here a broke hand and a split lip will keep you up dated if we find anything  .”Rax added

“  Ok go to hear “ Allura placed a hand to her forehead and felt something wet. She removed her hand and Saw that there was blood on her hand “   Ok that’s just great can somebody get me a Bandage please  “ She said as she walked over to  an empty seat As blood slowly trickled down her forehead 

Coran quickly  grabbed on a medical kit and Ran over to Allura and started to bandage up the small head wound

“   Are you Alright Allura “ Coran asked worry very much visible in his voice 

“ I’m Fine Coran What off the Paladins “ She asked 

“ They are doing Fine there already back in the battle An it looks like The Valkyrie and are new Allie are get back up had have returned to the battle “   La-Sai said 

“ Good now once “ Allura was cut off when a massive Blinding light appeared from where the Others were fighting Followed by a loud exploding sound and a wave of force hit the castle of lion shaking it a little “ What just happened ?” She asked worried about the others 

Moments earlier 

The Titan was on the defensive as it fought of Another swarm of enemies. He tried to swung the right wrist blade but was stopped when a green beam hit them and caused roots and vines to erupted and jammed the blade in place. He quickly grabbed onto the vines and ripped them off but it was quickly replace with ice by the blue lion. He broke free and tried  to fire on the blue lion only to have a plasma missile to explode against  the titan’s chest causing his shoot to go wide. his anger was starting to boil up. But  before he could do anything in retaliate  several Plasma bolts exploded against the Titan’s back .Which caused him to turn around

“ Stab!!!” Jay yelled as he Thrust the Valkyrie’s spear forwards and Stabbed into The Titan’s Right eye. This caused A blood vassal  in Zarkon’ s eye burst  to causing him to go blind in that eye. This was caused  by the neural link he and the Titan had He  screamed out in pain as he back handed the Valkyrie away. The spear still embedded in the Titan's eye. Then the Snapdragon  slammed into it and pulled it into a crushing hug 

“ . This is for my brother mother and Father. Everybody get clear “ Harley said as She Activated  the Snapdragon’s self-destruct which caused a her mech to start glowing faintly  “ somebody  catch me “ She Said she ejected the control pod she was in and sent it shooting out of the back of the  Snapdragon’s head 

“Alright “ Jay said as the Valkyrie followed and grabbed onto the control pod and sped off at top speed away from the blast zone along with everyone else

Haggar watched what was going on and teleported herself out of their knowing what saw going to happen.

The Titan struggled to brake free of the SnapDragon’s iron  Grip but the Titan’s right arm was pined to it’s side. it used it free hand to try to cut of the  off  the War zones left arm . “ I Refuse to die like this . I Am the Man who conquered the knew universe the immortal emperor and I wont die he”  He was cut off when the Snap dragon’s Exploded.

The light emitted from the explosion was blinding and after a few minutes of not being able to see the light dimed to reveal a massive smoke cloud 

“ Did you get him?” Jay asked as several rebel warships and two of the Queen slayer ship the Master of none and the Hail Mary moved in 

“ don’t know but you should get me some where safe just in case I didn’t “Harley replied 

“ Alright and sorry about your brother I real know him all to well .But If you ever what to” 

“ I’ll talk to someone who knows me . Not someone I was hired to kill thank you for your concern but it not needed “ Harley said cutting jay off 

“ Ok sorry “ Jay replied little offended

“  Uhh sorry to interrupted you little chat but I'm not dead”  Quinn said from 

“oh that's good to know “ Jay said happy to hear that his new friend? was alive “ 

“ Damn I thought I was finally alone for once “ Harley said jokingly as she whipped away a tear from his eye “ Now where are you “

“ Just aimlessly floating away I'm starting to get dizzy here so place hurry up and follow my signal please”

“ On it “ Val said as she diverted the flight path towards the tumbling head of the Halberd

The castle of lions moved in near the small fleet of rebel Warships 

“ Is everyone alright “ Allura asked 

“ Yeah were fine but dose anyone have eyes on Zarkon I want confirm that the blast killed him”  Shiro said as he and the other lions were about to form Voltron but were stopped as a bolt of Plasma flow out of the smoke an slammed into the Black lion pushing it away.

After that the Rebel ships started firing into the dust Cloud. as this happened Another Plasma Beam  shot out of  the cloud and Through the bridge the out the back of a rebel ship this caused a chain reaction that had the entire warship to explode. Then another beam shot out destroying another rebel warship. Then something shot out of the smoke cloud and smashed into a dreadnaught then severally bolts shot out from the inside of the warship then the Dreadnaught  exploded. An just like how he entered the fight in the beginning. The Titan floated out of the ruble of the destroyed warship.

But this time it was severely damaged it’s right arm was missing the wings were destroyed it’s lower jaw was missing , Most of the armor was broken and cracked. An their was a purple aura surrounding it “ IHa HA HAhahahahahaha it as been far to long since I've had a fight this fun. but Sadly I most end this fight

The Hail Mary pointed it’s mac canon towards the Titan and Fired it but The Titan back handed the Massive round away. Sending the round  flying into another Rebel ship Damaging it 

“Oh your next “Zarkon said as he raised his remaining arm aimed towards the hail Mary and was about to fire it only for an Ice beam freezing over the hand. He looked up and saw the blue lion floating there “  Lance McClain I assume’ He said as he melted the Ice off his hand.Lance knew that Zarkon new his name but it still caught him off guard “ I Know The original pilot of the blue lion. Blaytz was a very close friend. I hope your a worthy successor to legacy”    Zarkon said as he suddenly rushed forwards and slammed into the blue lion sending flying back 

Zarkon looked around to see the other three lions flying towards him and started firing on him. Which he quickly dodged each shot and punched the red lion away . Then he fired a shot at the yellow lion as it charged towards him the shot explode on contact with the yellow lion slowing it . But the yellow  lion  still hit him send the titan flying back and int the side of a rebel sip which quikly grabbed onto and ripped off a chuck of the hull. An throw It at the yellow lion . The hunk of metal smashed against the yellow lion’s head stopping it mid charge allowing Zarkon charge forwards and grabbed them and throw them at the blue lion that was coming back into the battles 

After that The Titan started looking around for the black lion know if he could take them out this battle would be over quickly but as he looked a green beam slammed into the Titan’s left side causing roots to erupted and wrapped around the remaining arm pinning it to it side 

“ Ok guys we have an opening use it wise ”Pidge was cut of when the Titan charged it and head butted the green lion in the chest. Sending it back  Then ripped their hand  free of the roots.

Then the titan activated their Chain blade  it whipped forwards towards the green lion wrapping it around the green lions lower half and processed to spin around and smashed then against a nearby warship then recalled the blade and returned to looking for black lion and saw it flying towards him jaw blade in it maw 

“ Found you “ Zarkon said to himself as he charged towards the black lion. only to be shot in the side by a Particle  beam fired by the Caste of lions. Pushing him back towards the station but he quickly flipped the Titan out of the way of the beam and charged up his plasma Cannon  nd fired a full powered beam at the castle .Only to have the Valkyrie stepped in and countered the shot absorbing in then parted their wings and looked straight towards them. Zarkon noticed that those gauntlets called the Odin's Fury  were still equipped  “ Oh Quiznack”  Zarkon said to himself as the Valkyrie instantly closed the gape between the two of them and Punched the Titan  Square in the face  .

“How the hell are you even Alive after that and what is with this weird purple Gas, Mist an illusion of some sort  ?” Jay ask as he kept on whaling on the Titan. Then they pulled back their right hand was about unleash all the kinetic energy that was built up in it .The titan grabbed onto the fist causing a massive shook wave to erupt between the two of them. they Then tried to use the free hand to do the same .

But then the Titan started spinning around and processed to throw them in a random direction. Then the Aura that surrounded the Titan moved to the left arm and fired the same kind of bolt that hit voltron early at the Valkyrie. It hit the Valkyrie head on . Both Jay and Val screamed in pain  as they felt their life force being pulled out of them. but as quickly as it started it quickly stopped  

 Jay Quickly throw of his helmet  and turned away from the control panel and quickly throw up what he ate for dinner the night before

“ Oh god that was the worst pain I’ve ever felt” Jay said as he whipped the spite and vomit from his mouth . 

“ I agree on that one my pilot”  Val said 

Jay sat up ad looked at who saved him and Val and saw the back lion fighting the Titan alone then was punched in head sending it away  “ Oh shit we have to help them” Jay said as he grabbed onto the control sticks and moved them forwards to no avail “ Were out power aren't we ?”Jay ask 

“ Yes we are it will talk a few minutes to help Shiro” Jay said as he slammed his metal hand against the control panel. 

“ Don’t worry the other are here to help “Val said as the other lions and the swarm of fighters flow passed them and started firing on the Titan

“Thanks for keeping him busy no leave the rest to us” lance said as he fired of the blue lions mouth beam and hit the titan square in the face

Shiro righted the black lion am was about to charge  back into combat 

“ Shiro stop before you do something stupid “ Leonidas said 

“ I can’t the others need me “ Shiro said as he tried to move the black lion forwards but it wouldn’t work. " Leo!” His anger starting to get the better of him

“  You need to calm down and focused.”

“ why should I people are dying I cant just float here an  watching as my team in being  tossed around” 

“ I know that but throwing yourself at the enemy will not give you the result you seek” 

“ An what will” Shiro said as he slammed his hands down on the control panel

“First of ow that hurt somewhat second remember what I showed you the day we truly met ?” 

“ Yes” Shiro relived what was about to happen “Were going to do that weird teleport thing with the Angel wings.?”  Shiro asked still not entirely understanding what he had seen that day

“ It’s call Phase shifting  an it will allows you to Fly through solid objects and grab sorted  items”

“ Like the Black Bayard “

“ Your Bayard yes now focus Clear your mind and focus on your target then acted “Leonidas said as he returned control of the  black lion back to Shiro

“ Ok Focus.”  Shiro said to himself as he focused his mind ,steadied his breathing and  felt his bond with the black lion strength followed by the sound of the black lion roaring to life. Then the wings on the Black lion glowed brightly and changed into Angel like wings. Then Shiro Charged forwards straight towards the Titan

Zarkon throw the red lion way and tried to slash at blue lion only for a volley of missiles exploded against the Titans chest sending them back a bit. He quickly righted himself and swung his blade cutting through a Few fighters that got to close. As swung the blade around trying to hit the lions but from the corner of his  eyes he saw a bright blue light  appeared . He quickly turned to see what it was and saw  the Black lion with angel like  Wings full speared out Flying towards him

“  No “ Zarkon Yelled s he push as the Yellow lion and charged straight towards the black lion . He whipped his blade forwards aiming for the head of the black lion but his blade passed through the black lion followed by black lion flying through the Titan’s head and for just a second . Zarkon saw the Black paladin he looked into the Paladins face and saw nothing but death starring back at him. After they passed through him he noticed that the black Bayard was no longer set in the Key hole. Then he realized that for the first time in ten thousand years his death was possible  

The Black lion had stopped phase shifting once it was far enough away from the Titan . Shiro looked at the Bayard in his hand it had a Jagged look to it and in stead of being the usual white like the others were was a dark purple for the base color with black covering top the bottom of it . After a few second of  holding it the Bayard returned to it original colors and form .He smiled seeing this “ Alright Paladins Form Voltron “ Shiro yelled 

Zarkon turned the Titan around and watched as the loins started to converge on each other about to form Voltron again An he could not let that happen . He point the Titans remaining arm and Aimed it towards the Black lion he pour all of the power he had drained from the Valkyrie into this shot it was strong enough severally damage the black lion. Maybe even kill it’s paladin if their bond is strong enough. But before he could fire it A massive explosion erupted against the back of the Titan. He  turned around And saw the Valkyrie Pointing it’s Bow at him . 

“ Got yea Bitch “ Jay said as Val waved To The Titan

Zarkon's eye widen as he Quickly turned around only to have Voltron’s Blade stab into the Titan Abdomen Destroying Already badly damaged internal systems. This caused Him to collapsed to the floor in the worst pain he had felt in years  . This was it. It all ends here his empire, His rule his life it all was going to end here .He was going die in a massive metal coffin  alone   “No I refuse “ Zarkon Yelled  as he  used the titan remaining hand and grabbed onto Voltron's head and poured everyone last bit of power that The titan had an send thousands of  Volts of electricity into the head of Voltron “  It I'm going down I'm taking one of you with me ‘he Yelled 

Shiro Yelled in pain as the electricity coursed through is body . His metal hand had been taking the brunt of the Assault but he felt the hand start to shut down along with any Cybernetic that were  in his body. As this was happening the Control console opened an revealed a key slot an he knew what he had to do. So he summoned up the Black Bayard  Turned his cries of pain into a battle cry as he slammed the Black Bayard into the slot  turned It. This caused Voltron's Blade that was still embedded in the Titan to ignite in a blaze of beautiful red flame. Then the Blade cleaved it’s way out of the Side of the titan an caused a massive blinding explosion that engulfed both

After a few second of shielding their eyes Allura saw the after math of the explosion . The titan was in pieces and Voltron was separated back into the lions and floating 

“ Is everyone ok ?” She asked worried about everyone but that worry was quickly demised when the Yellow, Green , Red and blue lions started to move but then she noticed that the black lion wasn’t moving “ Shiro Are you alright  ?” No response “ Can anyone get in contact  Shiro he’s not responded to me “ 

“ I can’t get in contact“ Jay said 

“ Same here he might  have passed off after Zarkon last attack “ Keith said worried about his brother 

“ Alright Paladins pull back were pulling out “ Allura said as she watched the  Valkyrie grabbed onto Black lion an stated to fly back towards the Castle followed by the other lions an a few rebel fighters “Alright Coran contact Admiral Asmo It’s time to fall back The mission as been completed it time to “ But she was cut off when a Single unknown ship appeared close to where The Titan’s remains were. It was Quickly surrounded by fighters and Rebel Battle ships 

The Ship was a smoother up dated version of A Galra warship. I was also Twice the Size of the Castle of lions which was surprising seeing as castle was the biggest Ship the Aldean's ever built. The ship floated their for a few seconds before opening fire on the ships that surrounded them quickly destroying them . It stopped Firing once the Ships surround it  were destroyed it then slowly started to turn itself towards the Castle of lions. An fired it’s main Cannon at the Castle 

“Shields up” Allura Yelled 

“ We have no time brace for impact” Coran said 

Everyone on the Bridge braced for impact . But before them beam could hit  A bright green barrier appeared in front of the Castle of Lions taking the shot for them 

“ Sorry for the last minute save i kind spaced out waiting for you guys . “Vanguard said as they opened hundreds of wormholes 9in front of the Rebel   Also We need to start leaving now i’ve detected a huge number of Galra warships coming towards us” Van said as a few hundred Galra ships exited Warp speed followed by thousands and thousands  more then they started firing on the now  Rebel ships   

“ Admiral It’s time to leave “ Allura said as she Opened up A Wormhole  in front of the Castle and moved the castle into it 

“ Way a head of you princess” Asmo replied as the fleet of rebel ships started to retreating into the Wormholes the Vanguard. Some where damage as they left others were destroyed or disabled them before they could leave.

On the bridge of the Unknown Galra Ship 

Lotor watched as the worm hole that appeared in front of the Castle of lions  Disappeared to reveal that the Castle of lions was gone.

“Run away little Paladins will me again soon enough “Lotor said with a smile on his face 

In one of the Hangers

“ Come on Come on “ Rolo  said as he, Pidge Matt, Hunk Keith ,Jay, Ace and Lance were trying to pry open the Black lions door. The door had been sealed tightly do to the black lion not having any power it was also trying hard to keep itself to to a safe system that made it when a lion was out of power while in space that it would remain closed until power came back or when the black lion it was on a planet or artificial atmosphere  that the plot could breath. But something was wrong and the door wouldn’t open 

“ Jay are you really pulled at full power here ?” Matt asked as he struggled to help pry on the door 

“ Dude I’m the strongest guy here and I’m struggle to get this open” Jay replied as the door opened a bit more 

“ Don’t start arguing now we’ve almost got it open enough for one of us to slip in” Rolo said As the doors fought back undid a bit of the progress the group had made . ”Dammit ‘

“ Thanks for jinxing it “Pidge said 

As the group struggled to get the door opened Allura ran into the black lions neck compartment an saw what was going on “ What happened “

“Doors stuck we need help” Jay said knowing that if Allura helped this would go a lot easier. “Also what happened to your head Boss?” Jay asked as he noticed the bandage around Allura’s head

“ I Hit my head after Zarkon had hit us Now make room “ Allura said as she rolled up the Sleeves of here dress  and Grabbed onto the door and helped them pull it open. With her help they were able to get the Door open just enough to  allow Keith, Lance, Pidge  and Matt to get in while Allura ,Jay ,Rolo Hunk and Ace to keep the door in place.

Keith was the first one to get to Shiro and Saw him passed out in the Chair. Keith froze up for a few seconds then he noticed that Shiro chest was moving 

“Oh Thank god” Keith said As he started to pull Shiro out of the Pilots seat “ Somebody help me Please”

“ On It” Lance replied as he took Shiro’s other Arm

“ I got his legs” Matt replied 

The three carried the unconscious shiro out of the Cockpit with Pidge following behind them holding onto the Black Bayard. The moment the five were out of the cock pit Allura and the other let got of the door causing it to slam shut .With a loud bang

The loud Noise caused Shiro to suddenly jolt awake and almost kicked Matt in the face 

“ Watch it “Matt snapped as he let go of Shiro legs

“ Sorry “Shiro said weakly

“ it’s alright man” Matt replied a little mad at himself for snapping at his friend

“Ok now i have to ask did we win?” Shiro asked

“ Yeah we won  “Lance replied 

“Yeah the Empire is finished against thanks to You “Allura said 

“ Good to hear now if you all don’t mind I’m going to rest for a bit “ Shiro said as he passed out.. 

In Galra central Command.

Haggar stood over a metal Coffin with dozens of wires and tubes that had a purple liquid flowing through them. The Coffin house the comatose body of a barely A lived Zarkon .As she starred at the Coffin she heard foot steps walking towards them. She looked up to see Son walking towards her 

“Hello Mother it’s good to see you again” Lotor said 

“Hello My Son it has been along time now lets get to work we have much to to “ Haggar said

OKAY SO here are some of my byers/wheeler family headcanons AS PROMISED @alargedepresso

• ted hasn’t known jonathan’s name for two years and has continually called him steve and asked him about baseball to both jonathan and nancy’s growing frustration until one day at dinner he randomly finally says jonathan out of the blue and nancy and jonathan are all

• mike and nancy frequently whip food at each other and will’s attempted protests do nothing to stop it. he loves those wheeler siblings but thinks they’re absolutely nuts at how they go from 0-60 in five seconds. it’s not uncommon to hear them being soft and bonding over past trauma and then somehow getting to “MIKE YOURE SUCH A DISEASE” “nancy’s on her period again” “OH MY GOD, MOM!”

• will FANBOYS hardcore over how amazing karen looks all the time. he compliments her and calls her outfit/make up combos “iconic” and she’s ALWAYS flattered. karen is so happy someone finally notices all the effort she puts into her appearance (her son’s artist boyfriend! who is equally good at color matching) & she is ecstatic that she finally gets to go to the mall with someone considering it’s the bane of mike and nancy’s existence. will is so. happy.

• nancy and mike frequently go off on radical feminist /bi nerd gay rights rants and they’re the headache ted wheeler cant escape from

• ted loves will, and even though he thinks art is a “hobby” will really secretly loves having a father figure even if ted is.. a little off base sometimes.

• will and mike always tell joyce and karen how theyre gonna get married one day and joyce is just over the moon at how much somebody loves her son and she wouldn’t trade mike for the world because she’s seen time and time again how much he respects will and puts him above all else just like she does

• sometimes hopper and el come over for dinner too and hopper is self conscious about the new pink shirt el bought for him but will tells him that pink is “for sure his color”. hopper cant tell if hes joking and mocking him or being genuine and it lowkey causes him to panic all dinner but will is never going to tell him which one it is

• will has a service dog named milton and holly LOVES HIM and tries to play with him until mike explains to her that milton has a very important job to do and that she needs to let him take care of will. holly accepts this challenge hardcore like the badass wheeler she is and steps aside for milton to walk by every time he prances down the hallway. mike and will laugh at how cute it is

• jonathan will never tell mike just how much he loves him, and constantly gives him shit and continues to call him “will’s spazzy boyfriend” but knows just how lucky he is to have mike in the family. mike knows he’ll win him over one day.

• will loves playing with holly, and he realizes that she must get stressed from all the hectic yelling and miscommunication of the wheeler family. so he takes holly under his wing a little and gets her to eat dinner, and colors with her after dinner on the comfy carpet in front of the tv

• nancy and mike vow to do everything they possibly can to keep will and jonathan here after joyce announces she’s considering moving. they won’t let her take them away and mike says he’ll even lay down in front of the pinto in protest. that mrs byers will have to run him over first if she wants to leave town.

• one day karen snaps and says she’ll burn down hawkins herself if somebody tries to keep mike and will down with their prejudice and homophobia. everybody is shocked but impressed by her sudden expression of strength and support. mike grins like an idiot and has never felt closer to her, and realizes where he gets his rebel streak from

yall there’s way more too but this is what i can remember rn. whenever i try to remember things i never can lol. i’m sure i’ll add on more later!!!

#announcement at the av club #i wrote this out on mobile so i’m sorry this can’t look any neater or with better format!!! #byers fam #wheeler fam

Ahem McDonald’s five au pls?

goddamn it’s been forever but i can’t stop won’t stop so you’RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT MY MICKEY D’S FIVE AU LET’S GO

so. the legal age you have to be to work at mcdonalds is? 14 years old according to google, but it may vary depending on the place. aidan is 16, five passes for 16 even though he’s 13 ok

there is absolutely no way he would actually let them say he’s 13 he’d be like “ugh at least make it 14 damn” even though,,, his birthday is in like,,, less than a year,, ok i realize that isn’t how ageing works but cut me some slack

POINT IS he passes for 14 ok. DOUBLE POINT is that he would wait until he’s legally 14 anyway so idk it works alright

but!! so !! plot time! this is the part i’m bad at but bear with me i’m onto something i swear

five is pissy bc he doesn’t really have anything to do. he takes school online bc he’s way above middleschool obviously, and like?? he moves fast with those classes too bc hes a genius like he knows big brain things yk

so anyway somebody (klaus) jokingly suggests “oh well maybe if youre bored you should get a job or smth it’s not like extra money can hurt anybody ever”

five’s thought process is like

if i get a job i earn money

if i earn money i can spend money how i want and not need to drag my idiot siblings along with me constantly

i GUESS it would be good to have job experience or something whatever

lets be real folks

nobody except for fucking mcdonalds would accept this garbage racoon child celebrity looking 14 year old asshole. i know im exaggerating and there are 100% other places that would employ this walking shitshow but my point stands

klaus and ben chanting: mc donalds! mc don alds! mc donaaaaaalds

five: ffffffffffffiNE

mc donalds it is

also yeah i know its not 2 words but this is my au and besides how can you prove it isnt 2 words in the tua universe?? you cant, check and mate

anyway

five marches his 14yo ass up to mcdonalds like “hire me” and they all just,, they look at this kid,, coming in in schoolboy shorts looking like a prep straight off the school website,, and they hire him instantly.

idk ive never worked at mcdonalds but lets say that there are mainly older teenagers there so like college/highschool students and five comes in on his first day in his too big uniform with a frown and messy hair, his older brother is waving at him from outside and they just “omg little sibling”

five is a prickly asshole! you know this! but they dont!! so they try to approach him and make him feel welcome and he just straight up hisses at them

woah there five thats not how you do social interaction

better luck next time?

anyway this isn’t actually the point of the au the point is five works at mcdonalds and the others take advantage of this always

klaus walks into mcdonalds and hes barely wearing a shirt, ben is trailing after him and the two walk up to where five is manning the cash register, klaus leans over and ruffles his hair, five rolls his eyes but doesn’t maim him immediately?

all of the other workers are like o.o

klaus, in the snarkiest fucking voice, asks five what he would recommend

“this is a mcdonalds”

‘yeah i know that what should i get’

“get a fucking smoothie i know you’re not gonna drink anyway and get out”

ben from behind: actually i wanted chicken nuggets–

“shut up ben you can’t even eat”

ben voice: smh rude

anyway. diego always. always. he fucking comes in decked out in his bondage gear and he walks up to the register completely deadpan but only when it’s five’s shift, and he stares deep into five’s eyes and orders

“one kid’s meal”

five stares back completely emotionless as he rings him up and says “anything else”

“no just the kids meal”

“do you want apple slices with that”

“yeah”

and then he gets the meal and just. gives it back to five. and he gives him the biggest shit-eating grin and tells him to enjoy his lunch and powerwalks out of there before five can get charged for murder

that only works once though bc next time five is READY but so is diego so he continuously orders frappes or whatever the fuck mcdonalds sells

i havent actually been inside a mcdonalds for months i can’t remember what the sell

oh wait lmao frappes are starbucks mcdonalds has uhh mcflurries???

is that what they’re called? mc flurries? what kind of fucking name is that akjdhfksd

ANYWAY THEY ALL BULLY FIVE AT MCDONALDS

allison walking in like “one fish fillet please :)” and everybody whispering bc ohmygod samantha look its ALLISON HARGREEVES what is she doing in our mcdonalds OHMYGOD–!!! and she just keeps smiling as five hands her the sandwich and she walks out, but walks back in seconds later

‘oh by the way luther’s picking you up today’

“i can walk”

‘no you can’t you have baby legs, i’ll see you when your shift is over bye!’

*five’s teeth creaking as he grins his jaw noises* “bye”

anywho

this au pleases me immensely ok

like

you don’t even know how much joy i have from picturing dead-eyed five in a mcdonalds uniform selling a doughnut

somebody keep this gremlin away from their coffee machines though. he learns to use them immediately and gets coffee constantly. they cant even call him out on it bc he pays everytime

well almost everytime but you know its whatever they’re all soft for their adolescent coworker anyway

ok this is where my brain goes bloop but i’ve began a shitty art for this au so like if i ever finish that i’ll put a link here ripppp

YEAH THAT’S IT aren’t you glad i exist because without me you wouldn’t have a mcdonalds five au, YOU’RE WELCOME

I R O N   M O U N T A I N

I walked up to the pens through the canted storm glow into the cathedral of dust the horses built over themselves with the wind and their circling and their eyes blazed that orange like the day's last light into the arena and threw their shadows around them and flickered and I got the work because how I edged up to the black and white one that likes to be a ass sometimes and I walked him down with him feinting side to side to side while his mane got all tangled in the glowing gusts and I stretched out my arms and backed him until he was in the corner but he didn’t run and I spoke to him and touched his neck flicking and nervous like lightning and when I got my arms gentle around his face and held it to my chest I could whisper to him there and I kept whispering until all suddenly the winds died down in him and the storms stilled and all their voices went quiet I can’t always make it happen like that but sometimes I can Mr. Moses walked up to me all

who the fuck are you and I said

hey Boss and he looked at me for a few seconds and he said

you run a saw and I said

sure can and he said

good I don’t need no more cowboy wahoos round here and I said

y’all got a room and he said

feed these horses and come up to the house and I said

OK Boss

at the headquarters Mauricio had Chile Colorado stewing in the big pot on the stove and he turned and looked at me and knew who I was but I gave him the sign and he acted like we were strangers nobody else was there from before Mr. Moses was drinking a beer and he said

what’s your name and I said

Major and he looked at me like what kind of name is that but he shook my hand and said

Major I’m William Moses and I said

good to meet you Boss

and he introduced me to Mauricio and Mauricio shook my hand and smiled at me and Mrs. Moses was in the living room reading the Sunday comics and listening to Emmylou on the record player and I knew right away we’d be pals Moses put me in the same room I used to share in the summers with John when the ranch was ours and I put my bag down on the boards of the floor and pulled the silver raven out of it and put it under the loose board so I could dream but then I remembered you and I had to sit down on the bed real hard and hold myself to keep all of my secret night from spilling out

I got up in the morning dark and turned the light on and the room was cool from the windows being open and the late August dark coming in and I pulled on my pants and shirt and boots and walked into the kitchen where Mauricio and Mr. Moses and another man stood smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee around the table and Mrs. Moses had a skillet full of eggs and sausage and their cigarette smoke whorled up around the tines of the elk antler chandelier over the table and Mrs. Moses said

Major this is CB

and I shook hands with the man who was skinny and tall as a Sotol bloom and Mr. Moses turned to Mauricio and said

you know the old fence at the west end with all those holes and Mauricio said

yessir and Moses said

why don’t you and Major go out there and fix that up we’re gonna need to move the mares over there pretty soon and Mauricio said

will do

the truck bumped along the road with the windows down and the morning light in the dust behind us bluer than prayer and Mauricio said still looking up over the road

I heard about Elle and I said

oh and looked down at the knees of my blue jeans because how there was always a silver knife chopping around in my heart and he said

I’m sorry Major are John and your parents OK and I said

we’re all about making it and he said

do they know you’re here and

my voice went away and he put his hand on my shoulder and took his old felt hat off the dashboard and put it on and I whispered

I’ll tell them

and we got out of the truck and he handed me some Mooremakers and we cut all the old wire down off the fence and rolled it up and put it in a big blackred mess on the bed of Mauricio’s truck and it scourged our shirts and raised up dark rusty scars and we pulled out the bright lines of new cable across the expanse and tied them onto the far H brace and hooked up the comealong and stretched them off the ground and made it where you could tap them and they’d sing wavy as Hank’s yodel and we tied them off to the close H brace and slicked them up to the posts and stays and Mauricio sang and two Prairie Falcons called down at us from where they held at the edge of a cloud

Mauricio and I redid fences for a month before Mr. Henry visited the ranch for the first time it was hot in the day and our sweat puddled into our shirts deep to where the Tiger Swallowtails landed on us to water I didn’t know Mr. Henry was coming and on the way back when Mauricio turned up the big hill to the main house my heart started flutterskipping because how I hadn’t been there since you were still here and the world wasn’t so full of all its black horse music and my heart still sometimes had doe deer lain down in the shadows of its trees like secrets I whispered

where are we going and he said

to say howdy to Mr. Henry

I looked up the hill and didn’t think I could be there but he said

he’s not a bad one Major

we pulled up into the gravel lot and the house swept out from us like a white bird to the cliff edge and the oak trees swayed huge around it in the light wind

Mr. Henry and Mr. Moses sat on the porch looking onto the valley below and when Mauricio and I walked up Mr. Henry stood and shook my hand and he said

James Henry and his voice was deeper than bullbellow and I looked up and said

Major

he looked at people that slow way like he actually saw them and his eyes were quiet and held me strong so that none of the ocean of night inside me had to leak out even though I was at our house and he turned to Mauricio and shook his hand and while I sat there and Mr. Henry and Moses talked I could feel your words coming off the white stucco walls touching my face like quail down but I couldn’t hear what you said even though I tried and Moses said to me

Major

and my eyes startled up I’m always getting woken up from something and he said

Mr. Henry wants to know if you can cut some firewood for the house and I said

yessir and Mr. Henry said

good then I’m going to go take a drive around the ranch but you all come back up for some dinner a little later tonight

Mauricio drove and CB was with him up front and Moses and Mrs. Moses were in the backseat and I rode in the bed with the dogs and Rhett was up close at my legs with his long coat and his warm and they were playing the country station out of Stockton in the cab and it came out of the yellow glow of the radio and deer floated over the fences like spirits under the high beams in front of us as we moved up through the smell of piñon smoke to the house that was shaking beneath all the weight of night and there was the first chill of autumn and the truck stopped and the dogs poured out of the bed in front of me in a falls and circled round Mr. Henry’s big lab whining and pawing and I said

come on there pups

and jumped down and Mr. Henry had the long table on the porch set and a fire in the hearth that was wide so I could of lied down in it and the mouths covering the walls moved in the flickering light like they were trying to say something but no sound came out but I tried to read what they said but they all spoke different and I couldn’t see long enough to tell but Mr. Henry sat at the end of the table smoking a cigarette and drinking wine and when he greeted us he buried the dark under the deep of his voice

evening

and he shook hands with us and gave Mrs. Moses a hug

Sharon I’m sorry my wife couldn’t help you out of being the only woman at the table and she said

please I’m used to all these men

and he poured us glasses out of an old bottle and it was wine that was like a velvet blanket and I said

thank you and he said

sure thing Major and the dogs trotted back and forth silently along the edge of light and Mr. Henry said

Major can you get the steaks off the smoker and I said

yessir

he’d cooked good thick steaks and he scalloped potatoes inside and made a Caesar and I liked that he was that kind of man that made friends with the people who worked for him and while we ate the dogs came one by one and laid down in the firelight that stayed bright because of how CB was nearest the hearth and kept throwing logs crushing onto the coals when it burned down and once I saw Mr. Henry watching the walls like he could see the mouths too but I wasn’t sure

Mr. Henry walked into the headquarters before leaving and said

you all got anything needs to go to town and Moses said

no sir and I said

give me a second and he said

I’ve got five

and I ran into my room and took out my book and wrote tell mom I’m ok on a page and tore it out and put it in an envelope addressed to John and ran back out and gave it to Mr. Henry and I said

thanks and he said

sure thing Major

I cut out the fire killed oak for three months I only cut the best trees when it was that right point of evening when the wind was always just right and the light would turn purple and flow down through the hills like water but I stopped cutting before any night got into it and then I hauled the wood down the mountain because that’s how he asked and I took the trunks and the thick boughs that hadn’t got burnt up but just got killed and I logged them and the logs that weren’t rotten I split and stacked and I got ten cords up against the adobe wall of the house before the night that I was out with Mr. Henry and Moses by the fire and everybody else was gone in and the first cold front of the year slid down over the land and sent the sparks from the fire spiraling southward about our legs and against the canvas of the coats we had on to keep out the shards from the cold and the Iron Mountain hulked further south still and we watched it pull the stars down close to it but it always stayed dark even though it took more of the light than we could and Moses was asleep in his chair so that it was just me and Mr. Henry and we’d drunk enough whiskey where our eyes turned to amber and opened up and could see the ghosts of the iron oaks up there swaying in the wind like silk and glowing darkly and he said softly

can you see them Major and I whispered back

yessir

do you know why you see them and I said

no sir

I want you to cut some logs from it

how I asked

I don’t know he said and I whispered back

I think I can figure it out maybe and he said

I think maybe you can too

I moved to the little cabin off from the main house and I forgot the silver raven but it didn’t matter because I didn’t sleep anymore anyways because the day was too bright to be able to see the ghost oaks and I kind of stole Rhett from CB not like I did it but Rhett just started sticking with me and CB didn’t care because of all the other dogs stuck with him Mr. Henry told Moses how I was going to just report to him and Moses said

OK

and I went up to the hills over the main house at night and tried with my chainsaw but it was like passing through air and I tried with my axe but it didn’t work either I kept going back but I didn’t know what to do and one day I got real sad and went down into the valley where the red oaks all bent like fire in the gusts of autumn and I strung all the biggest trees together with spiderweb to make a machine because I was trying to listen to heaven so I could hear you again but in the nights when I put my ear to it everything got all drowned by the clamor of God up there drunk and murmuring to himself in the dark and running into furniture I just wanted to hear you say goodnight like you used to I just wanted you to tell me again that I’m your good little brother and how you lovemelovemeloveme but I couldn’t hear you and the wind kept blowing and I laid down on the cold ground not remembering anything anymore except that you were here and now you are gone

I can’t figure out how I said into the receiver and he said

you can take a while and I said

alright and he said

just don’t worry too much about it and I said

OK I won’t and he said

are you doing alright out there in the cabin and I said

yessir Rhett stays with me and we keep that stove burning so it’s warm and he said

who’s Rhett and I said

he’s that red merle Aussie and he said

alright then Major I’m glad you’re keeping up I’ll see you all out there afterwhile

after we finished up dinner Moses asked me if I would shoot a deer in the morning early because he wanted to have some backstrap for when Mr. Henry came the next week and I said

I don’t have a gun and he said

you can use that 30 aught 6 I’ve got over there in the cabinet and I said

I’ll be up early

I walked down from my cabin later that night to the headquarters to grab a beer and when I opened the door into the kitchen CB was standing in the refrigerator light taking out a bottle and he said

you want one and I said

yes please

and he popped the tops and we sat down at the table in the dark and I said

where you from CB and he said

I grew up down 90 outside Sanderson and I said

so you’ve been out here the whole time and he said

I’ve been here for a while but not the Iron Mountain for long and I said

you’re family out there in Sanderson and he said

used to be but my dad died and my mom kind of split off after that I don’t really know where she is things fall down on this land kind of hard some times

and we sat in the dark and drank in silence for a while and he got up and the light spilled out of the refrigerator into the kitchen again and he got two more beers for us and I said

you know where the trapper piles up the bodies and he says 

yeah what of it and I said

them all piled and stinking those bodies they’re all through us

but I could tell maybe he knew but he wasn’t going to say and he said

how old are you

and I said 18 but he knew that was a lie

he went and got us each another beer because we were drinking too fast and said

time for bed

yeah I guess I better

I’ll be around 5:00 to get you

and I shook his hand and walked up the trail to my cabin

the cold was ringing when I woke and I got up and put some kindling onto the coals in the stove and stacked some logs on that and blew the fire going and I put on my thermals and my pants and a shirt and zipped my coveralls on over everything and there was a knock at my door and Rhett stirred up whining from my blankets with the fire flicker in his eyes and I said

come on in 

and CB walked in and said

morning and his voice made fog inside my room and he patted Rhett’s head and I said 

howdee

and he poured me some coffee out of his Stanley and I pulled my gloves on and grabbed the rifle and slung it onto my shoulder and shut Rhett in the cabin and we drove out a ways and parked the truck and walked up onto the mountainside and CB said

you stay here and glass the valley and I’ll go around and watch that other side and I said

OK

shoot a doe if you can

I nodded and lay down in the grass and watched out as the light came I kept having to switch my hands holding the binoculars because of how fucking cold it was and every time I stuck my right hand in my pocket I could feel the extra brass shells banded together to keep them from ringing

deer come out in the morning because of how they are the same color as it and you have to watch so careful because it’s like trying to see water in water but I finally got my eyes right so that I could see an old doe come through the dim and I took off my glove and switched the safety off and put the cross on her neck and the shell cracked open and the bullet went hurling out away from me to her

CB walked around from the other side of the hill when he heard the shot I don’t like killing deer because afterwards I can hear all that low thunder out of death’s horn and I try not to hear it but I can’t not after I brought it and I remember you telling me how it was what made the dogs whine in their sleep and how every now and again it gets loud so that car alarms go off in the streets I don’t like hearing the sound from it CB walked up and said

that’ll do

and we put a rope through her back ankles and pulled her up from the bough of an oak and cut her guts out and left them where they fell grey and steaming on the ground for the coyotes and CB said

Mauricio will make us some chili tonight and I said

hope so

and then I looked down at the bloody knife and I threw up on the dirt and CB just shook his head at me but I wiped my mouth off and got up and CB dropped the doe into the grass under the tree and I picked her up and put her on my shoulders and he said

come on crazyass

and we walked back up to the truck and I put her in the bed and her eyes turned to frost from the inside

the next evening I was walking water line and I heard the elks bugling at each other and I looked but I couldn’t see them because how the grey was down on the earth but then all of a sudden I saw first one and then another big bull come out from the clouds and when they walked their antlers tore up the fog so that they dragged all these ribbons of emptiness behind them through the air and I knew how to cut the ghost oaks I don’t know how but I just knew and I ran back to the truck and drove to the house and I ran in past Mrs. Moses and she said

where are you off to

but I ran past and into the room and I pulled up the floor board and took out the silver raven and I went and jumped in the flatbed that had the welder on the back of it and I drove it over to the barn and I got my chainsaw and filed all the steel teeth off it and I cut the raven into little pieces with the torch and welded them onto my chain and filed the lumps sharper than the moonlight and then I went and sat by the forest and time changed I watched the sun rise and fall and rise and fall until I lost count

I got so skinny sitting there all those days I needed the milk of your voice I needed the warm bread of your words but finally I saw the night anchor pulling across the world and it caught on the Iron Mountain and the dark stayed and I took my saw onto the hill and found the stand of ghost oaks all dark and gusting in the wind and I walked to them and pulled the saw going and set the blade against one and blue sparks burst like little galaxies everywhere and the sparks went through me like I was the one that wasn’t there instead of them and I worked the long night through and I had to keep going back and welding on more teeth because the silver wore down so fast but I cut a little stack and laid it invisibly next to the other logs by the house and at the end I fell asleep beside the wood and Rhett was sleeping there too and the night closed all its eyes and came over close and lay down against us to keep us warm

I mailed Mr. Henry a letter

I figured out how to cut it

I made a silver blade

Moses let me take a truck into town and I pulled up to The Blues where there was a fire burning out of some shitty lumber stinking up the air and someone was singing old Marty Robbins inside and people were turning on the dance floor in quick circles through the spindled light that the disco ball hauled through the cigarette smoke and I walked over to CB and he slid me a bottle of Jack across the rough boards of the table and I slugged on it and slid it back and he said

look who’s out tonight and I said

howdee and he said

you gonna have a time and I said

might turn that way

and then the warm of the whiskey went through me and the world got soft and dark and I looked up and saw her there in the glow of the can lights and she looked all alone and quiet from the others and she wheeled from me and then back again and our gazes caught together across the room in the breeze from the song and I couldn’t even see who she was with but when I tried to look away our eyes got caught up like wind knots and I couldn’t turn she had on a dress covered in horses and the song ended and another fast one was on and it was just like that that she was in my arms and laughing and we turned like a dust devil all over the place and the horses went and bucked and galloped across the cloth plains of her dress and the sea of night inside of me flashed away for then because how she took my loneliness in her hands and pushed it away she said

lets get out of here and I said

OK and she said

come on then

and we ran out to the truck and drove west down 90 out there to old Nopal where the heavens push down hard on the earth and pulse and blaze and it was just us sitting there with the truck engine shaking and she kissed me so delicate that I couldn’t figure out what was happening how the softness hit me all brutal everything bunched up and the red lights flashing on us as that train went by in the night the horn blowing so loud that the dark got ripped away and the ground shaking and we were just alone there and it made it where I felt like horses loose on a highway or like moths like grass burning and there was all that flint in us that was rubbing along our ribs when we breathed and I thought it might have been light that filled us but I didn’t know for sure I never know for sure and then she took her dress off and her body was the moon and all at once the air filled with the ghost lights swarming and near and they circled round us like little stars and brought close their burning faces to whisper to us every name of night and they passed over again and we lay there holding together breathing like we’d run miles and we grasped to each other while our shadows turned circles around us always behind us to the lights and as fast as they were there they left again and the cab of the truck exploded into dark except for the soft waxing of her body

Lucia came out to the ranch the next weekend in her dad’s flatbed because I told her about the ghost oaks and she said

let’s burn some and I said

OK

she drove out on one of those days where it was real cold out and the clouds were down low and were rubbing off on the hills so that the grass and trees turned silver and thick with frost I already went around with Moses breaking the ice off the water tanks and there wasn’t anything else to do because it was so damn cold

she came into the cabin and Rhett walked up against her leg with his head up so she could pet him

who’s this she asked

oh you mean Stinker Bell there

she’d sat down and Rhett was nuzzling up in her lap and she was making those noises at him that people make with dogs and I walked over to the ice chest and got us out some beer and brought it and gave it to her and I said

his name’s Rhett and she said

well hello Rhett and I said

he’s got two different color eyes

and she pulled me down with them and kissed me

I cooked venison and we ate and when we were done I went and got the logs from outside first I lit red oak and then I burned piñon and after that I lay the dark ghosts of the old iron oaks onto the bed of coals and I understood why he wanted me to cut them it makes the smell like a chapelfull of myrrh smoke but the warm of it doesn’t touch your skin or your face but it sounds into you and calls all the wild and tender things that hide high up on the game trails in your heart down and it makes the moon rise through the dark of you like a mother of pearl disc and all the creek beds in your soul fill up with cold water

we lay there naked in that warm on the Navajo rug in the cabin and the ghost fire came out of the stove like snow light and the small brown spiders crawled out to us through the shadows and wrapped us there in their silentest silks and we didn’t have to be afraid of anything anymore because how in that garb not even the night can see you

she stayed with me in the cabin for three nights and every word she said had a bunk where I could lay up and sleep for a night she’d say

Major

and take my hand and put it down between her legs where the warm ocean was only barely inside her and she would pull me down and as I rocked in and out of her our hearts sloshed back and forth so full of stars that death was with us too we got so close and I knew she couldn’t stay forever and that evening we walked outside and she washed the creek in her hair and then the stars got hold of her and tossed her nightward and she flew up and up and she didn’t fall and I knew how she had to leave because she was the moon but I’m getting too used to all these leavings

that night my dreams rode in in the dark their horses the color of flood water under a flashlight and the dreams breathed as hard as the horses and their breath got so hot when they whispered close it made my ears ring all I could hear was how God talked in symbols but I already knew that and I kept wincing away into my blankets because it was like when someone breaths real hard on a microphone turned up too loud but I wanted to hear but I couldn’t hear what they said and I whispered out to them

tell me if you can pray to just one part of God and maybe can He keep it secret from the other parts of Him like could I ask Him to open my dreaming eyes and help me find the heavens I hid in myself but lost

and my dreams bent their heads to me

but ask it from the gentle part of Him and not the part that’s always drunk and angry and would open all my eyes and then burn nightmares into them forever

and my dreams leaned in close

like sometimes He seems to like answering prayers as mean as He can and I just want to find the God that’s actually better at being good than us not just the one that says He is

and my dreams put their heads against my head and ran their fingers through my hair until I fell to sleep in sleep

the next afternoon I saw the fire start I knew it was coming because how the ground was so dry it smelled like rain even when I pissed it was the storm with no rain that did it I tried to stop it I said to the wind and I said to death and I even said to God but none of them were listening I was cutting cedars on the hill but I saw all the smoke column up and I dropped the saw and ran down the road and I ran so fast that my breath fell behind and I took off my coat and kept running and my mouth tasted like it got full of pennies and I found CB but I couldn’t say anything and I had to hunch over there to let my breath catch up with me

you crazy fucker he said

but I caught my breath and I told him and he said

where and I said

by the gate

he was in a valley fixing up a hole in the fence but he climbed the hill with me and he saw the smoke because the fire got big while I was running and he said

how the fuck did that get started and I said

I tried to stop it it was the storm I tried to make it go away but he said

nevermind

and ran down the hill and started his truck and raced up the road to go get the firemen I guess and I ran down the hill after him but now my legs felt funny and I said

shit

and had to slow down but I kept trying to go fast so I could find Moses but the sun started sliding down and the edge hit the earth and the fire got bigger and even though it was night now the wind kept rising and the smoke made my head ache and behind me the mountains flickered and in front of me the tree shadows swung around in the light but then I had to stop because the hills turned into a gold river and my eyes were spinning around and I had to sit down and make the world stop so I could go again and then it stopped and I ran up to the headquarters where there wasn’t a light on and I knocked on the door anyways but no one was inside and I kept turning around to see the fire get bigger and the smoke smash against the Iron Mountain

prow of the earth I whispered breathlessly up to it

I couldn’t let the house burn I had to not let it burn Elle got born there and when we were young and she’d never been too jealous of the dead she would laugh so loud and blazing white as the stars that the rooms and the halls would get full and silver and you could see them there glowing if you were out in the night and it would bring you back from whatever trouble sort of thing you were about and now after I got all the rivers in me full up with tears it’s the only place left where I can go hear the shadows that her laughing cast and not have to feel sadforever

I ran up to the dozer and tried to start it but it didn’t start because the batteries were dead because nobody had driven it since who knows but the flatbed was there so I brought it over and turned the welder on and I put the ground on the black and the lead on the red and turned the key of the dozer and the engine rolled over like a fuckcrazy horse and the lead off the welder made burning stars shoot all over the place from the battery and I jumped down on the flatbed to turn the welder off but it was already stalled 

piece of shit I yelled at it

and jumped back up on the Cat and put it in reverse and gunned it because bulldozers run fastest backwards I don’t know why but it still wouldn’t go fast enough but I turned it towards the house and the tracks that had got rusty sitting there were polished like mirrors after the heavy thing touched them on the ground and I could see the stars that were living in them and the flint under the treads burst out with sparks to light my way

I got up to the house that was glowing clear white like the moon even though the fire snaked next to it huge and orange and the smoke flowed over the hills like the world was coming apart and the wind pushed the grasses into waves and the fire was twice higher than the house when I came up and spun the dozer the treads shrieking like giant barn owls and dropped the silver blade into the earth and rammed a wide swath of clean dirt between the house and the fire and the engine all low down growled and the turbo whined and the exhaust went dark in the dark and filled the woodsmoke air near the house with diesel smell and I screamed

COME ON FUCKING COME ON

and I got one break down when the fire got there and a second break started and everything was swirling and full of bright and dark but the fire jumped my line into the meadow by the house and I tried to chase it but the wind turned it huge so I couldn’t chase it and the flame surrounded me and I killed the dozer in the middle of the firebreak and jumped down and ran into the courtyard of the house hoping that the walls would hold long enough for the flames to pass but the oaks were too huge and hot and the herd of bright red horses ran all along the floors up the walls and set the paintings on fire and I went to the fountain to lay inside it but the fountain was empty and I yelled to you

HELP ME

but I couldn’t hear you and I turned to the flames

no please no

and I ran out the back of the house but the flames were at every side and I jumped out off the deck over the cliff into the night below and I dropped and dropped and went through some tree to the ground and my head spun to darkness

I found the rock pool at the edge of the meadow that’s never in the same place twice and I got in the cool water and drank the bottle of whiskey from the stone edge and my liver turned to ember and glowed into the water and you walked into the dark gold light like from out of nothing and I knew you were my dream but how it didn’t matter and the stars still saw your face and got drunk off it and I watched them lose their ways and stray through the black up there staring down at you and you said you could talk to me for the night only but that was all and I thought that was ok it was ok and all again you held me and I was shaking but all I could tell you was about how I keep trying to build the heaven in myself so you can come be with us again but I have to make sure it’s hidden enough that it doesn’t get broken but how it’s so hard because I keep not being able to find it after I hide it and I have to start all over again and you whispered to me 

it’s okay Major   it’s alright

and your voice was quieter than smoke so I could hear and I heard you but I couldn’t keep you there and I wanted so bad to keep you there

I woke late the next evening and I heard CB and Mauricio yelling my name on the cliff top and I whistled back to them and Rhett ran down the hill to me and licked my face where I lay and they came down and CB said

you crazy motherfucker and I said

I think my ribs are busted

and he looked at the cliff and he said

yeah I bet they are

and they helped me up and half carried me and lay me on the back of the truck and my sides pulsed like shards of suns when I breathed and the house was burnt and smoldering and Mauricio got into the pickup bed with me while CB drove slow down to headquarters that was still there and they had the horse trailer hitched in the driveway I think they all thought I’d died or something because Mrs. Moses ran out crying and Moses told me how they’d followed the dozer tracks up there in the night and yelled and how I hadn’t said anything back and I said

I guess I was sleeping

my head ached so bad with all the night crashing around in it and Moses said

we got to get these horses out of here but they’re kicking up a storm in that trailer and I said

it’s because they got too much fire into their eyes and they all looked at me like they always look at me but I got off the truck and limped through the yard under all the stars that were falling in flurries now and I got up into the trailer with the horses and they stilled down and I said

close that up and keep the light on in here

and they did it and the fastener screeched as they pushed it down into place and the truck started up and I was surrounded with the heavy smell of the horses and I leaned against the black mare and winced at the bumps and all the stillness in the horses asleep in the lit trailer hauling through the dark filled me up and I could feel the massiveness of heaven just out there heaving breath in and out and how alive it was and how I just had to find a pure place to put it into the world and then we just had to believe in it and love each other even though we’re all the ruined but we still can love even though our hearts are wrecked and that’s what I had to know so I whispered every heaven that I could find to the mare and I thought that the ocean of her heart would keep them safe but I didn’t know anything for sure I never know anything for sure

Two weeks.

That was how long James Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanov had been away on a mission to gather information. But they had found nothing. And that was showing in their moods.

Natasha was silent, even more silent than usual and everybody knew not to disturb her when she was like that. Bucky on the other hand was the complete opposite. He was seething, his muscles tense- Usually he would spar with Steve in such a situation, but that one was away on a mission himself. Without sparring there was no amount of running or beating a punching-bag  that would be able to get rid of the tension he felt. Though with the most anger beaten away, there was one way to relieve himself of even more: You.

__

It was in the middle of the night when you heard the silent click of your closing door. Your boyfriend had finally found his way to you.

He was silent in his movements, like he was stalking through enemy territory and not your room, an so you kept unmoving and faked sleeping. He wouldn’t want to wake you up.

Your bed dipped, when his strong and heavy body crawled towards you. You were barely able to stay still, with how exited and happy you became with every passing second; you loved what was following.

Or so you thought.

James was an incredible lover. He knew what he had to do to make you come- hard. His hands roamed from your lower back over your sides up to your shoulders and back down. All the while massaging your muscles gently.

Back at your hips, you felt a gentle and careful tuck on the panties you were wearing before they were pulled down your legs.

His lips connected with the low of your back and a shiver went up your spine when his hands shoved your loose nightshirt up to your shoulders, freeing your breasts on the way.

“Mhm. So beautiful. And all mine.”, he hummed against your skin, forcing you to suppress a moan; you didn’t want him to know you were awake- yet.

“Let´s see how you are doing  Doll.”, he kissed up your spine, while his metal hand moved down between your legs, “Mhm. Already drenching I wonder if you are really asleep.”

Words of protest wanted to leave your throat , when you felt his body distant itself from yours, but that died when your hips were suddenly pulled off the bed and into the air.

“Such a beautiful view. What would I do to steal a taste, but I cant contain myself, Doll. You are just too hot for me to not take your right now.”, he groaned, his voice getting huskier and deeper with every word and you frowned.

You knew this voice of his, he had to let go of some steam, what means he would get rougher with you than usual. It wasn’t your favourite kind of sex, but you always endured it and even faked orgasms.

You didn’t want to lose your boyfriend because of something mundane as sex. If you couldn’t give him what he needed, you feared he would get it from somewhere else.

Without coating his member with your juices, the man plunked into you, sheeting his dick to the brim in your womb. His balls slapping against your thighs.   His girth stretched you to a degree it hurt, bad, though usually he would take his time and therefore you would be prepared. But when he was like that, tears sprung to your eyes.

Fuck that hurts!

Giving your body no time to adjust to his size, the soldier slammed in and out of you, his fingers biting into the flesh of your hips, already bruising your skin. Soon his brutal paced caused you to hiss in pain, luckily a pillow turned the hiss into a moan in his ears.

“Oh I knew you were awake.”, he chuckled, his flesh hand moved along your spine and to your neck, “Don´t hide these beautiful sounds you make from me. Let me hear what I make you feel. I want to hear you.”

His fingertips brushed through the hair of the back of your head, when suddenly clutching it in a fist, only to  pull you up by your hair.

Ouch!

Tears of pain spring to your eyes and you had to close your eyes so they wouldn’t fall. You fisted the sheets beneath your hands, trying to ease the pain in your head.

It failed.

The soldier´s thrusts became even more stronger and you gasped. It was a different pain.

“More. Oh Doll, give me more!”, he groaned, leaning down to kiss your back.

Drops of sweat falling on your back.

A new pain erupted when his metal hand closed around one of your breasts, your nipple had been caught between two of the metal plates of his prosthetic arm. Out of instinct you jerked away from the pain and into his chest.

“I knew you want more. Who am I to deny that.”, he growled and before you could say (or think) anything, he had pulled you against his chest and sat upright- his metal hand around your throat; already putting pressure against your pulse.

No! Stop!

He had never choked you before.

Panic burned in your veins and your pulse sky-rocketed.

“Oh I know that feeling beneath my fingertips.”, Bucky nipped at your earlobes, “I fear I won´t last linger though, But trusting your heart you don’t need much longer either. Come. (y/n). Come with me.”

His grip around your throat became stronger to a point that you weren’t able to breath anymore. Luckily for you were you able to breath again mere seconds later. He had found his release and now you were laying on your stomach with his body still joined and half covering yours.

“This was- damn doll.”, he kissed breathless, “ I definitely need a shower now. You as well I fear.”

“I- I don’t think I can walk-“, you mumbled more to yourself than anything else, but he still was able to hear it.

“Did I wore you out already? Don´t worry Doll, I can walk good enough for the both of us.”, he chuckled and the very next second you were carried from your bed and into the shower of your joined bathroom.

It hurts!

“Can you stand or was I that good?”, he grinned against your lips.

“I can try.”, you tried to smile back at him, not ready to let him see your pain.

“I will need to hold you up then. I love it when you cant stand anymore because of me. I-“, he declared proudly, though was interrupted by FRIDAY.

“Sergeant Barnes. Mr Rogers just returned from his mission and asked for you to join the debriefing immediately.”

Thank you!

“Thank you FRIDAY. I will be there shortly. Perfect timing as always  Punk. Just wait for our next sparring session.”, the male grumbled before kissing you softly on the lips, “ I will be back as soon as possible. I am sorry Doll!”

“it is alright. GO see Steve. I will be somewhere around here when you come back.”, you breathed your answer, kissing him back.

“You are the best Doll.”, he kissed you one last time before leaving you alone in the large bathroom.

You waited another minute or so to be sure that he wouldn’t come back before you sat down under the spray of the warm water and letting the suppressed tears fall freely.

You knew he would never hurt you on purpose, but that didn’t mean that the pain you felt at that moment were less.

___

You didn’t know how long you had been sitting there crying, but you stopped abruptly when you heard your boyfriend speak from the door.

“Doll? (y/n), what´s wrong? Why are you crying Doll?”, he asked with pain and confusion in his voice from finding you crying in the shower.

“Bucky. I thought Steve-“

“That meeting took five minutes. Now tell me what is wrong. Why are you crying?”, he frowned, slowly stepping towards your shaking form, “Doll. Please tell me what is wrong?”

“Bucky it is no-“, you tried to reason but he did not listen.

“Please-“, he pleaded further.

“I-I-“

“You what? Doll- wha. You are hurt.”, he gasp, noticing the way you sat and hold yourself, “Please tell me what is wrong.”

Carefully he reached for you, wanting to spend comfort and pull you into his arms, but body flinched on its own accord. Realization washed over your eyes, his extended hand falling down at his side and shoulders slumped.

“Bucky-“, you flinched not wanting him to feel bad.

“I hurt you, didn´t I?”, he breathed, tears already in his voice.

“Bucky-“

“Please tell me- please- (y/n), did I hurt you?”, he begged again for you to answer and your hear clenched hearing and seeing him so defeated.

“I know you it wasn’t your intention, but-“, you tried to reason.

“-I hurt you-“, he breathed again.

“-you were  a bit too rough for me.”, you mumbled looking away.

“The- the other times? When I came back-“, he mumbled, his fear about your answer evident in his voice.

“I am sorry.”, was your only answer and you literally heard his heart break- causing yours to follow suit.

“No. No Doll. You have nothing to be sorry about! I- I-. It was me who caused you pain.”, he sobbed. Out of the corner of your eyes you saw him coming closer, though he did not dare to touch you. Even though it was the only thing he wanted to do at that moment.: Pulling you into his arms and spending comfort. But with him being the one who caused the pain, he wasn’t sure if you allowed it. The question on why you hadn’t told him haunted his mind at that moment.

“I couldn’t tell you- you didn’t know-“, you tried to reason for his sake.

“But why?”, he wanted to know.

“I- I thought. I. If – you-“, you stumbled over your own words and fear.

“You thought I would leave you?”, he frowned in confusion and disbelieve.

“I don’t know. I thought if I couldn’t give you what you need- what you want… I know it is stupid, but-“, you cried, tears streaming down your face.

“NO!. I could never- not because of that. I love you (y/n). I thought you liked it as well. I would have never. If , I had known-“, he stumbled, staring onto the wet floor and at the hands that had bruised your skin mere minutes earlier.

“I know Bucky. Trust me I know. That why I went with it- I… What are you doing?”, you asked him confused when he suddenly stood up and walked to the big tube Stark had built into every personal bathroom.

“ I am drawing you a bath.”, he answered determined to do everything to make your pain to go away and show you how much you meant to him.

Within a minute the tube was filled and Bucky stepped back towards you.

“Will you join me?”, you asked, really hoping he would say yes. You loved to bath with him. Bucky could be a huge cuddle-monkey if he wanted to.

“If that is what you want. I could never deny you anything.”, Bucky smiled, happy that you did not hate him and still seek his comfort.

“Of course. I love you Bucky.”
