MERLA, the good evil person or whatever
Part 1
Keith's jaw dropped. "She did what?" he asked to the just as dumbfounded Coran. "She blew up the planet's moon....apparently the peace talks weren't going well...she wanted to make sure the two groups understood the severity of this problem."
"By BLOWING up the moon?! It wasn't inhabited, was it?"
"Unfortunately there were several small mining colonies located there," Coran stated.
"I don't understand...I could've sworn Merla was serious when she turned to the side of 'good'......but now...." Keith rubbed his temple. "When the princess hears this she'll be heartbroken. She believed in Merla's transformation more than any of us...."
"Well," Coran started,"Merla has come hear, she wants to...from what I understand....TALK...to the voltron force."
"She's HERE?!!! WHERE?!"
As if on cue Merla entered the control center where Keith and Coran had been chatting. She was adorned in her normal battle garb and long-flowing cape, quite the opposite apparel of a 'good' person mind you.
Merla stormed into the room. "Advisor, Commander." She regarded them curtly, "I wish to speak with your princess....now!"
"Now hold on a minute, Merla, we have some----"
"NOW!"
"--things to---"
"NOW!!!!"
"---discuss---"
"NOW!!!!!!!!!!!"
The command hit Keith mentally this time and he marched off like a puppet.
"And you..." Merla turned to Coran, "Get me some iced tea!" Coran stood his ground. "What do we say?" "NOW!!" Coran shook his head. Merla pondered a moment. "Oh yeah...please?" "Of course, Merla." As Coran exits, Keith enters carrying the Princess. Literally carrying, she's giggling and nudging Keith. "Oh, you...we can't do this!! It's the middle of the day!! tee hee hee"
"Here-is--the---Princess....oh....Queen...of darkness..." Keith said absently, still under slight mind control.
The Princess suddenly became aware that the two of them weren't alone. "oh drat" she muttered, Keith wasn't up to anything like she thought.
"Good, that will be all, Keith, you can set her down." Merla commanded. When nothing happened..."NOW!!!"
Keith let the princess down. "Oh Merla!"the Princess sighed, "You didn't have to have Keith CARRY me here! I could walk just fine! Tee hee hee giggle giggle!" Merla regarded the Princess for a second of two before responding. "Yes, well....I thought you'd appreciate having him sweep you off your feet..."
"Oh I did!" more giggles, "But, um, would you mind? He's not much fun when he's under your mind control." she pointed to the stern look on Keith's face. "I let him go already. He's ALWAYS like that." the Princess thought for a moment, giggled, and said absently, "Oh yeah."
Coran walked in with a glass of Iced Tea.
"Here you are, Merla"
silence as Merla sips her Tea
"ach-hem!" Coran waited ever so patiently
"Oh yes, I forgot..."Merla cleared her throat and bowed a little as she said "Thank you."
"You're welcome, Queen of Darkness"
"God, this being good stuff is hard!!"
"Gosh" Coran corrected her.
Merla slapped her head, Allura asked for some tea. "What do we say?" Coran was trying to make sure Allura would be a good example for Merla. "NOW?" Allura huffed. (general sweat drops all around) "Oh yeah...please?" "Right away my princess" And with that Coran was gone again.
Merla turned to the Princess, "Allura I'm in a bit of a spot" she said. "Really, what's that?" "Well, you see....I don't think I'm quite understanding this being 'good' thing" Keith nodded vehemently. "You got that right!! For one thing, why are you still the QUEEN of DARKNESS?!"he pointed at her, as if there were any other queen of darkness in the room. "Oh yeah, see? That's my point" Merla nodded.
"Oh, well, I guess the Voltron force could give you some pointers on this whole 'good' thing" Allura giggled. (too much prozac today I guess) Coran entered with the Iced Tea and waited patiently. "ach-em!" "Oh yeah...I forgot....how's it go? oh! yeah! THANK you, Coran." "you're welcome, Princess" Keith chimed in that he wouln't mind having a lemonade.
"What do you say?"
Keith stared blankly..."NOW??!" Coran just sighed, "sure, why not" and left the room. "oh wait! please! PLEASE!!" Keith shouted to the departing minister. "See? It is hard to be good!" Merla said to the embarassed captain.
"Anyway, Princess, I have a slight problem, and was wondering if maybe you could help me out" merla said.
"Of course, Merla! we good guys gotta stick together you know!" "But....we're girls" Merla said dumbfoundedly. "oh yeah, that too!" Allura giggled. Once again, Merla regarded the Princess before continuing. "Anyway...like I said, I don't get this whole good thing...so...while wroking on a peace treaty I kind of...."
"Here it comes..."Keith thought."No way the Princess will help Merla when she hears this!" Allura looked at Merla who had just so happened to hesitate at the exact moment for Coran to re-enter the scene, with a tall glass of lemonade. Keith gulped down the drink, as Coran waited, "ach-hem!" "Oh...um...you're welcome" Keith said between gulps. Coran snuck off to some corner of the castle, supposedly to cry about the situation.
Allura turned to Merla "You were saying something?" "I was?" Merla answered. "SHE BLEW UP THE MOON!!" Keith blurted out.
"Well, that's okay. Arus hastwo moons, we can deal without one." "No no no, not an Arusian moon...some...other moon...I don't know what moon" Keith admitted. "I think it was tiny...but it was inhabited!" he added.
"By robots." Merla stated. "They were mining for the economy!" Keith shouted.
"They killed a puppy!" Merla retorted.
"They killed a puppy?" Allura repeated.
"But it was--"
"Keith, they killed a puppy!!" Allura grabbed his arm and cried out.
"She made that part up! She's still evil!" Keith pointed at Merla (just so we're all sure which she is being referred to) Merla's lips curled into a devilish smile, "That poor puppy"
"Well those robots got what they deserved! Killing a puppy! Merla...you're a hero!!!" Allura hugged Merla. "Heroine" "Yeah, that too"
"BUT!"
"No Keith! Merla is a hero!--"
"Heroine"
"And we're going to celebrate her...um...her..."
"Power.."
"Her power! with a gala....ball!"
"Party."
"With a party! And everyone is invited!"
"except keith"
"EXCEPT KEITH?! WHAT?! WHY?! Wait, why not Keith?" Allura looked shocked. "Keith is always my date! I need him there in case Lotor attackes!!" "YEAH!" Keith puffed up. Then, "wait, that's all you need me for? A bodyguard?"
"Well, Keith has to protect everybody else that night...because um..."Merla stumbled "Because I said so!" and she tried to use her mental powers on the princess.
"Don't you forget I have very little mind to influence?" The Princess giggled.
"Oh yeah...whatever...Keith can come to my party.: Merla shrugged.
"GOOD!" Princess nodded.
"I thought I was more that a bodyguard" Keith mumbled.
And somewhere Coran was still crying....
