KathDMD - You already know I like writing Aidan, and his talks with Kelly are always interesting. As for Twyla and Dari...by at least episode 13, something has got to give.


Author's Notes - This story is going to intertwine with the main Voltron Legacy story arc, so don't be surprised when you see similar lines in both!

Episode 108 : "Welcome Home"

"The progress on the base is ahead of schedule, Commander," a young Drule officer said to Twyla.

"Excellent," she replied. "Once we become more self sufficient, we won't need to rely on the Supremacy's incompetent leadership." She thought for a moment to herself. Once I have the Voltron Force out of the way, I can finally proceed with my plans to overthrow the High Council. They have prevented me from becoming Empress before, but this time I won't let them stand in my way.

"The repairs on the Voltron replicas are nearly complete," he said. "What are your orders?"

"I do not want to send the mechas out yet," she replied. "I want to make sure they are one hundred percent ready before I launch them again, and I want General Dari at the helm of the Black mecha. I want to make sure if they do fail, that she fails with it."

"Do you think that's wise, Your Excellency?" he asked. "Without her, the Derinja troops may not follow your orders."

"If my plans come to fruition," she replied, "it won't matter." She smirked. "I want you to find Lieutenant Centa and send her to my office. Then I want you to shift some of the workforce to begin construction on the new robeast. I want everything pieced together in the next thirty-six hours."

"That soon?" the officer asked. "Is it going to even be possible?"

"Anything's possible," Twyla replied. "And we need to act while the Voltron Force is separated. We need to do everything we can to assure victory."

"Yes, Your Excellency," he replied, giving her a salute, then leaving.

"General Dari is going to get what she wants," Twyla said to herself, "and I'm going to get what I want. And I won't stop until I have control of Terra, the Middle Universe, and the entire Drule Supremacy!"


"We should be arriving shortly," Aidan said. "See if you can hail the Garrison and maybe get a response." Lisa hit a button on the com.

"This is Sergeant Lisa Kaga calling Galaxy Garrison," she said. "Requesting permission to land." For several moments, there was silence.

"Sergeant Kaga," a voice said, "your ship is in violation of the High Council's Temporary Order Five. Prepare to land at the facility outside of New York, and have your ship decommissioned, inspected, and dismantled." Aidan's ears perked up.

"Dismantled?" Aidan shouted. "Who the hell is this, and why do you want to tear apart this ship?"

"Please identify yourself and comply with the orders of the High Council, or we will open fire," they replied.

"You wanna see what 'open fire' looks like?" Aidan shouted. Lisa hit the mute button.

"Aidan," she said, "I'm not sure what's going on, but instead of provoking them, we need to get away from here and think of something different." She unmuted.

"We apologize for Commander Dalloway's outburst, Garrison," Lisa said. "However, we cannot comply with your order. We will instead return to our point of origin and await clarification from the High Council." There was another brief moment of silence.

"I'm sorry, Sergeant, but orders are orders," he replied. "If you do not comply, we will have to shoot you down."

"I'm not letting them tear apart my ship!" Aidan protested. Magna Lasers opened fire from both the towers above the Garrison as well as on the surrounding satellites and space station. "Whoa!" Alpha expertly dodged the laser fire. "I'm taking us outside the outer perimeter. We need to find someone that's a little more sane. Something's not right."

"I agree," Lisa said. "Get us someplace safe, and I'll try to establish a com link with Terra. I'm hoping the garrison isn't jamming ultrawave transmissions." Alpha flew towards the outer perimeter, dodging the laser fire as they got further and further from Earth.

"You getting anything yet, Lis?" he asked.

"Sergeant Kaga to Terran Base," she said into the com. "Admiral Benton, do you copy?" There was static at first, then she heard a different voice.

"Sergeant Kaga," the voice said. "This is Captain Stebbins of the S.S. Bogart. Are you and your crew alright?"

"If by alright you mean being shot out of the sky by our own forces, then yes," Aidan snarked. "This is Commander Dalloway. Any chance you can shed some light on what's going on?"

"I'd prefer not to over the com, Commander," Stebbins replied. "Even though Sergeant Kaga is using a secure channel, we can't risk being overheard. Please feel free to head to our coordinates and dock. I'll explain more when you get here."

"Alright," Aidan replied. The com went dead. "What do you suppose is going on?"

"Hopefully whatever is happening," she replied, "Captain Stebbins is on our side."


"Any word from Aidan or Lisa?" Kelly asked.

"Nothing yet," Morgan replied. "It's only been a day, and they are pretty far away."

"I know," Kelly said. "It's the silence from the Garrison that has me worried."

"You think Len is alright?" Morgan asked.

"I hope so," Kelly replied. "I don't trust the High Council. Ever since Len agreed to reinstate the Council, I've had this horrible feeling in the back of my mind that it was a mistake."

"Bajan Ambassador Gali is on the Council though," Morgan said. "He wouldn't allow something like that to happen, would he?"

"He was a staunch supporter of Marshal Graham," Kelly replied. "Whether he supported his decision to promote Len to her current position is a mystery. He abstained from all votes during Wade's tenure, but did nothing to fight him on his plans."

"It's a tough thing to think about," Morgan replied. "If there is trouble back on Earth, I hope Aidan is able to handle it. If they don't find Jin soon, and Twyla attacks…."

"I know," Kelly said. "Hotaru has been carefully making what upgrades she can without tearing Beta apart too much. You and David should still be able to launch if anything bad happens. But I'd rather have Aidan here for additional support."

"I know how much you rely on him to lead the force," Morgan said. "He'll pull through. You'll see."

"By the way," Kelly asked, "where's your husband?"

"Phht," Morgan replied, "he's at your place with your husband. Probably badgering him about that damned bike."

"UGH!" Kelly stomped in frustration. "He's still messing with that stupid hoverbike?" She smacked her forehead. "Do you know we were supposed to go out the other night…the ONE night I had away from this place, and he got stuck putting some part on that damn thing? And it STILL doesn't work!"

"Come on, Kelly," Morgan said, trying to defend him, "every guy has to have a hobby. Probably wasn't a good idea to skip date night, I'll give ya that."

"It just frustrates me," Kelly replied. "I want my husband back, dammit!" Morgan laughed.

"Maybe once he gets it finished," Morgan said, "he'll forget about it. It's a phase."

"A phase that's gonna ruin our marriage," Kelly huffed.

"Look at the bright side," Morgan pointed out, "it hasn't affected his work, right?" Kelly shot her a mean look. Morgan sighed. "As soon as Aidan gets back, we'll stage an intervention. Lord knows Dalloway agrees with you on how craptastic that bike is."

"Thank you!" Kelly exclaimed. "It's like a drug to him. He's totally addicted. I liked it better when he was addicted to me."

"He still is," Morgan laughed. "Tell you what, if things stay relatively quiet, I'll get David to help me cover your shift, and you and Taye can take another night out."

"I appreciate that," Kelly replied, slumping into a nearby chair. "I just gotta get him away from that thing."


A lone shuttlecraft sped into the Outer Perimeter. It slowed, hugging nearby planets and moons as it traveled through the system.

"As long as I keep transmitting the code," Dari said to herself, "their forces shouldn't even notice who I am. That is, except for him." The ship continued on. "Still not seeing any sign of that mecha. Perhaps when I land, I can find help on the inside to track it down. They already know to blast them out of the sky if they get close, but knowing him, they would avoid such a trap. I have to find them. And when I do…it'll be the end of Commander Dalloway and his arrogant Voltron Force!
