I hope everyone is doing ok with this panic that's going on!

Sakura laid in her medical bed, facing the door. The door slides open to reveal Keith, once he sees her, he smiles and hurries up to the bed.

"Kura! Thank God you're ok!" He smiles as he sits in the chair next to the bed.

"I've been better." She slowly pushes herself up. "And I've been worse."

He leans over to kiss the side of her head. "You've been out for weeks!" He tells her gently as he leans back in the chair.

"And that's what I get for going up against Haggar." She folds her arms with a huff. She turns to study his face. "I'm sorry I scared you." She apologizes.

He smiles. "Babe, it's ok." He gets up and moves to sit on the edge of the medical bed. "You did what any of us would've done." He wraps his arms around her, pulling her close. "I just thank God that you're back and safe."

She clings to him tightly. "But how? The last thing I remember, is fighting Haggar. And." She trails off. "And the Guardian." Tears glittered in her eyes as she remembers that they couldn't save him.

"Kura, he knows that you tried your best to save him." Keith tried to reassure her, pulling away to sit in the chair and gently take her face. "White Lion saved you, she brought you to the Atlas." He gently wiped a few of her tears with his thumb.

"I thought I could save him, I wanted to save the Guardian."

"I know hun, we all know, and we all understand." He pulled away and stood up, but Sakura quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist, stopping him.

"I'm sorry."

He frowned. "For what?"

"I was still weak when all that was still happening. Romelle tried to stop me, but I ignored her and took off anyway."

He sat down in the chair. "Without your help, you gave us some great advantages while you were there." He leaned over and kisses her cheek. "I."- He's cut off by Commander Iverson's voice over the intercoms.

"Everyone, report to your battle stations immediately!"

The Atlas then started to shake as tremors traveled through the ship.

"I repeat, battle stations immediately!"

Sakura and Keith looked at each other. Sakura quickly jumped, then stumbled out of the med bed.

"Let's go to work!" She exclaimed as Keith caught her.

The raced to their Lions, as Sakura raced into the bridge to stand beside Shiro. A giant squid like creature caused the turmoil as the Atlas flew over a gas planet.

"Where did it come from?" Sakura asked.

"Veronica, get eyes on it!" Shiro ordered.

"The thing came out of nowhere!" Coran exclaimed, as Shiro turned.

"Iverson, fire when ready!"

"Target acquired! We've got a lock! Wait." Iverson paused. "No. We lost it! Target has gone dark!"

"Electromagnetic radiation from that planet is overloading our radars." Veronica informs.

"Voltron, do you have a visual?" Sakura asked. "I repeat, Voltron do you have a visual?"

"Not yet. We're going in now! Stand by!" Keith answered. Voltron flew into the cloud filled area and the team inside the Atlas could only hear explosions. "We can't see a thing in here!"

"Copy that. We have zero visbility as well." Griffin said.

They scanned the area, and the team was able to see the creature. It started to shoot at the Atlas, but the Atlas shot back.

"All crew, report to stations, and prepare for Atlas transformation in T minus 30 seconds." Shiro told the crew over the PA. Soon it was time for the transformation. "All crew, prepare for Atlas transformation sequence in five, four, three, two, one."

"Come in Pidge. Are you reading us?" Sam asked once the Paladins went down to the gas planet.

A video came up on the screen as Pidge connected. "Ok, we've just touched down on the surface."

"We're at the crash site now." Keith added, as Pidge zoomed in on the Robeast.

"That's the Robeast." She said. "It looks disabled, just like our intel reported. The Altean should be nearby."

The head of the Robeast shot off the body.

"Paladins, brace for incoming!" Shiro called.

"I didn't know it could do that!" Hunk shouted.

"Take cover!" Keith yelled.

Lance screamed and the video was cut off.

"Paladins, report! We've lost visual." Shiro said. "Brdge, lock onto that ship now!" He ordered.

"Yes Captain. Adjusting long range parameters."

"Captain?" Sakura asked, looking at Shiro who turned to look at her.

"I got a new rank." He told her, and she smirked.

"It suits you." She replied just as the video came back online to show Yellow Lion, Black Lion, and Red Lion shooting at the flying Robeast head. The Atlas locked onto target before shooting it down.

"Nice shot, Atlas!" Lance called.

"Yeah, thanks for the cover!" Hunk added.

"Bridge, stay on alert!" Shiro warns, he turns to Sakura. "And you." He took her arm and lead her out of the bridge.

"What's going on Shiro?" Sakura asked as he lead her around the corner.

"When were you planning on telling me about your baby?" He wanted to know, folding his arms.

Sakura put her hands on his waist. "When were you planning on telling me about your marriage to Leah?" She countered the question with her own.

Shiro still didn't look happy, he sighed heavily. "Ok." He caves in. "We've both been keeping secrets from each other."

"Keith wanted me to tell you, but I wanted to wait until we returned back home."

Shiro stared at her, he opened his mouth, but decided to close it. "Come on." He said again, taking her hand and leading her back into bridge just as they heard Keith.

"Atlas, our target is acquired."

"Good job, everyone!" Shiro said.
