White Lion flew past the Atlas, heading towards Earth.

"We just missed the Atlas." Julie frowned.

"I'm not aiming at the Atlas." Sakura told her as she flew her Lion. "Now hold on, we're entering Earth's atmosphere."

XxXxXxXx

The President, his men and some officers stood in front of the Garrison as they watch White Lion land on the ground, White Lion lowered its head and opened its mouth and a ramp came down.

Julie ran down the ramp happily. "Daddy!" She ran to the President, who happily hugged her when she leapt into his arms.

Sakura walked down the ramp from her Lion. The President walked over to her.

"Mr. President, sir." She saluts.

"Commander Holt had brought up the secerity footage of the hanger." He told her. "Thank you for keeping my Julie safe."

Sakura lowered her arm. "Of course."

"As for Admiral Sanda, what has happened to her?"

"Admiral Sanda really did want to keep Earth safe." Sakura told him. "She truly did want to protect her people. Her fear clouded her judgement and the right thing to do. I personaly know that feeling."

The President nods in understanding. "Is she still alive?"

"No sir."

"Might as well be, she'd be facing tresson. Where is she?"

Sakura moved to the side. "In my Lion's cargo bay."

Paramedics started forward, but they quickly paused and looked at Sakura uneasy. "Is it safe?" The male paramedic asked.

The White Paladin smiled at them. "Yes, my Lion knows everyone here is good." She watches as the two paramedics head into the White Lion and after a few minutes they come out with a stretcher with a white blanket covering Admiral Sanda.

"Sir." Sakura turned to the President. "I really need to get back into that fight."

"Very well." The President gave her a salut. "May God be with you all, while your out there."

She nods. "Sir, thank you." She saluted, then turns to head back into her Lion.

"Wait!"

Suddenly Julie runs up and hugs Sakura. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Sakura returned the hug, before turning and running up into her Lion, the ramp and mouth closed and White Lion's yellow eyes came online before it took to the sky.

XxXxXx

After White Lion landed inside the Atlas, Sakura ran towards the bridge, she smiled as the doors slid open to reveal Veronica, and Shiro who were closer. Iverson, Romelle and Coran are also there but they also have their backs to the door.

"Shiro." Sakura stepped into the bridge and the doors slid closed behind her. The four in the bridge spun around in surprise.

"Sis!" Shiro smiled and she ran to him, jumping into his arms in a tight hug. "Thank God you're ok!"

"Did I miss anything?" Sakura asked with a smile as she looked around the room.

"Not much. Just the reguler fighting is all." Shiro answered as he turned back to face the front. "Coran, adjust our heading to narrow our surface area for incoming attacks." He ordered. "Commander Holt, what's the status of the Zaiforge cannons?"

"According to their projected trajectories, they've started moving together, but their convergent point is." Sam trailed off.

"Sam?" Shiro frowned.

"Sam?" Sakura asked with worry. "What's happening?"

"I know what Sendak is doing." Sam replied. "He's going to converge the beams to make one massive amplified emission of particle radiation."

Sakura's eyes widened.

"Is that even possible?" Shiro asked.

"Yes. I know because I gave them the technology." Sam answered. "When I was enslaved, the Galra had me working on particle emission amplification. I'm sending you the Zaiforge cannons' movements."

Diagrams appeared on the console's of the five Lions and the main computer of the Atlas.

"This is a simulation I've run based on their current trajectory. It leads to a single point in space. Once they're in position, their individual beams will merge together, exponentially increasing their destructive force. It will be powerful enough to completely vaporize Earth." Sam explained.

"We can't let that happen." Hunk said with fear. "What do we do?"

"Should we go after the Zaiforge cannons? The Lions might not be able to defeat them all in time." Allura suggested.

"If even two of those beams connect, they have the power to destroy Earth." Sam replied.

"We know they're being controlled by Sendak. Let's take him out!" Keith retorted.

"Take him out?" Sakura asked, looking at Shiro. "We've been trying to do that for years."

"I know." He nods, the all watch as Voltron is hit by all angles.

"Sandak just destroyed one of his own ships to get to Voltron!" Sakura gasped. "I knew he was dark, by I didn't think he was this dark."

Shiro hit a button for the intercom. "Griffin, what's your team's status?"

"The MFEs are nearly charged, whatever's powering the Atlas is incredible." Griffin admired.

"We need you back in the fight. Head to the coordinates I'm sending you and take out those surface-to-air cannons."

"Yes, sir."

They all watch as the MFE's get into the fight.

"Shiro, the Zaiforge cannons are almost in position." Coran informs.

"And there's not enough time to get to Sandak!" Sakura exclaimed, she shoved Shiro out of the way as she slammed her open left palm on the intercom. "Paladins, you have to stop your attack!" She cried in panic.

"What?" Keith asked with surprise and confusion.

"What's going on?" Allura asked, just as confused.

"Abort your attack or Earth will be destroyed!" Sakura informs with worry.

"The Atlas will continue to attack Sendak while the MFEs attempt to take out the ground cannons." Shiro added. "But just in case that doesn't work, we'll need you to stop the Zaiforge cannons directly."

"How are we gonna stop all these cannons?" Lance asked. "I'm not sure a Lion can take one down on its own."

"We just have to think." Sakura replied, rubbing her stomach feeling queasy again, and all of this was giving her a headache. "Is there any way you can block the beams?"

"We would be annihilated!" Pidge exclaimed.

"Hey, what about those reflective plates they used to curve the beam around Earth?" Hunk suggested.

"They could deflect the beams and keep them from merging." Pidge said.

"Ok. It's the best plan we've got so far." Keith said. "Let's go!"

"Good luck, Paladins." Sakura wished. "The five of you better come back."

"Yes." Romelle wished. "Please be safe and return."

Sakura turned and walked out of the bridge, Shiro watched her with worry, Romelle quickly got up and ran after her.

XxXxXx

Sakura closed her eyes as she leaned her back on the wall in the hall, closing her eyes and and gently tapping her stomach.

The door of the bridge slid open to reveal Romelle. "Are you ok?" The blonde Altean asked.

"I've just be queasy for the last few days. I really hope I'm not coming down with anything." Sakura answered.

Romelle suddenly smiled. "It sounds like you're with child."

Sakura blinks. "What?" She turns to look at her friend with surprise. "I can't be."

"I think you are." Romelle smiled. "This is great news!"

"Very bad timing if I really am." Sakura snapped, wrapping her arms around herself. She sighed. "I'm sorry Romelle, I didn't mean to snap."

The Altean smiled. "It's alright."

Sakura pushed herself off the wall. "I'm ok now. Let's go back in."

Romelle frowned. "Ok." She watches with worry as her friend walks back into bridge.

XxXxXxx

"Sam, what if someone were to infiltrate Sendak's ship and gain access to its crystal? Could the cannons be disrupted?" Shiro was asking.

"Infiltrate Sendak's ship?" Sam asked with shock.

"Would it work?" Shiro asked.

"It could work, but you'd need a communication device to link to the Atlas so we can hack their system." Sam replied.

"Then that's what we'll do." Shiro said determaned, and Sakura looked at him with worry.

"I'm going in." Shiro decided, and everyone looked at him sharply.

"What!?" Sakura cried as Shiro started to leave.

"Coran, the ship is yours." Shiro told the Royal Advisor. "Get the Atlas to the impact site." He ran out of the bridge, Sakura ran after him.

XxXxXx

"Shiro!" Sakura cried as he had finished putting on his black Paladin uniform, and now held his helmet.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he watched her put her Paladin helmet on, since she still had on her Paladin uniform.

"What's it look like? I'm once again following you!"

"No!" He argued. "Not this time!"

"Yes I am!" She argued. "Shiro, I lost you twice damn it! I am not going to sit on the sidelines and watch you disappear again!"

Shiro sighed. "Fine." He put a helmet on. "Let's go."

XxXxXxXx

Using their jetpacks, the siblings made quick work in getting to Sendak's ship.

"Atlas, Sakura and I arrived at Sendak's command ship." Shiro informs as he uses his Altean arm to create a circle and the two enter the ship.

"Where would the crystal be?" Sakura asked as they ran down a hall, they kept hurrying down the halls. But soon found the room.

"Found it." Sakura stared at the crystal. "That's one big crystal."

"Yeah." Shiro said as he walked up to stand in front of it. "Sam, we made it to the crystal."

"Activating communication transponder. Ok, Shiro. I have to warn you, this might be a little strange, I'm about to use your brain as a computer node."

Sakura blinked and turned to her brother with a look on her face.

"Well, wouldn't be the first time." Shiro said as he moved his Altean hand to the crystal.

"I've got it! Disengaging the ventral thoron injector port." Sam said. "It will overload the deuterium array, which should result in an explosion large enough to debilitate the beam generator."

Shiro started screaming in pain as the crystal started to glow brightly, then it burst sending the siblings flying backwards and slamming into a wall and falling into a heap on the floor.

Sakura tried to blink away the pain as she pushed herself up. Now standing, she placed a hand on her stomach. "Shiro ... tell Keith." She trailed off for a long moment as she closed her eyes painfully, while he looked at her with worry.

"No, sis, don't!"

She turned to look at him. "Tell Keith I'm sorry." Her bayard zinged as she activated it. "I love you both."

With that she gripped her bayard, and ran towards the crystal as it glowed brightly and pulsed at a fast rate of speed. Sakura jumped high into the air and slammed an arrow down hard into it.

The room was quickly filled with a blinding bright light, and Shiro was thrown out of the room by the shockwave when the crystal exploded.

XxXxXx

Hours later, Keith without his helmet raced towards the room where the crystal once was. He slid to stop with his eyes filled with horror.

The room was completely destroyed, the only sign of any crystal were little shards. But no sign of Sakura.

"Sakura!" Keith cried, his eyes scanning the room franticlly. "Sakura!"

In the far corner under some rock and drabs, is her left leg.

"No." Keith ran towards the corner to push and shove the rock and drabs off her. "Kura!" He finally reached her, her back is too him as her long hair is covering her face.

Falling to his knees, Keith very gently and very carefully rolled her into his arms, and he hugs her tightly.

From the entrance Pidge, Lance, Allura and Hunk come running in, but they quickly halt at the door.

Allura gasps and quickly turns towards Lance, her forehead falling onto his shoulder as he gently wraps his arms around her.

Keith - with his back to them, holds Sakura tighter in his arms as carefully stands up. And for a long moment, he just stands there with Sakura in his arms and her head resting on his chest.

The team watch as he turns and the four quicky part as he walks past them, looking straight ahead. Lance and Allura on one side, while Pidge and Hunk on the other side.

"Hunk, get Shiro to the Atlas now." Keith ordered just before he turned a corner. "I'm taking Sakura there."

Hunk, Pidge, Allura and Lance just stood there, Allura still in Lance's arms.

"Hunk!" Keith yelled, snapping Hunk to attention and he ran off after his leader.

Lance turned to look at Pidge, who was holding her glasses and messing with them. "Come here Pidge." He said, opening his arm, and she walked into the hug. Allura moved one of her arms and wrapped it around Pidge too.

XxXxXx

Inside Black Lion, Keith gently laided Sakura down on the floor, he kissed her forehead before sitting down in his chair.
