Sakura passed the medical bay, while Lance and Coran stood by Allura's bed. After some time she finally awoke.

"Allura." Lance smiled. "Are you ok?" He asked as she slowly sat up, and Sakura rushed up to his side.

"What's going on?" Allura asked confused. "Where am I?" She asked as she looked around the room.

"You're in the medical bay." Coran answered.

"When we got back from Clear Day, we found you collapsed on the ground." Lance answered.

"You've been asleep for two quintants." Coran told her gently.

"You scared the daylights out of us!" Sakura added.

"Princess, the entity ... it's missing." Coran informed. "Did you." He trailed off.

Allura looked down with guilt. "I did what was needed to be done." She said.

"No." Coran gasped. Sakura quickly looked at Lance with worry.

"'What was needed to be done?'" Lance repeated confused. "What are you talking about?" He looked at Sakura when she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You engulfted the entity, didn't you?" She asked, looking at the Princess, who wasn't looking at them, but her hands.

"This entity, it's connected to Honerva in some way." Allura explained. "I believe we can use it."

"Use it? I." Lance trailed off as Sakura now grabbed his arm and hugged it.

"Allura, you can't!" She cried. "There has to be another way!"

"I swore to your father that I would look after you, but I fear I may have let him down." Coran said, looking at Allura with sadness.

"This is a dangerous path." Sakura insisted, letting go of Lance's arm before perching herself on the edge of the bed. "Allura, that thing in you could." She paused. "It could." She didn't finish her sentence.

"It could kill you." Lance finished, and Sakura nodded rapidly.

"But it is the only path in defeating Honerva." Allura said determindly.

Team Voltron, except for Shiro are now in the briefing room. Allura had explained what she had done, the team all stared at her, terrified. After some time of discussion, Sakura called Shiro.

"We've been working on something, we'd thought we'd run it by you." Pidge said once Shiro entered the room.

"We think we might have a way to defeating Honerva." Keith added, and Shiro sat down.

"How?" He wanted to know.

"The entity has bonded me to Honerva." Allura began. "The link is there weather we utilize it or not. I believe that if the Paladins connect to using the shard consciousness of Voltron, we may be able to travel through the void and into Honerva's mind."

Shiro frowned. "Go into her mind?"

"That's what I said!" Sakura said. "Foreign territory!"

"I could work." Pidge replied. "In theory of doing this, giving us access to her physical location as well as key information on how to defeat her."

"Which, after what happened the last time we faced her, could be super useful." Hunk added.

"Honerva is capable of creating galactic Komars, wormholes, Robeasts, and now Lotor and his mech are out there somewhere." Keith listed them off. "She is the single greatest threat the universe has ever faced, and we don't have any other leads. It might take lifetimes for another opportunity like this to come around. We think this is worth the risk."

Shiro was quiet for a long time. "I spent a lot of time in the infinite void." He finally broke the silence. "It took all of my strength not to lose my sanity. And if you face Honerva in the void, she will win. But ... if you can find a clue that leads to defeating her and Lotor, it could give us the upper hand in this fight."

"I don't like the idea of using Allura like this." Lance voiced with disagreement. "We're messing with powers we don't fully understand that have runied countless lives. It's ... it's dangerous."

"Lance." Allura turned to him, placing a gentle hand on top of his. "We are Paladins of Voltron. There is no one more capable of taking this on. It has to be me." She said determination and stood up.

The rest of the team stood up tall and strong. Eventually Lance sighed and stood up. "Let's do it." He said.

Allura smiled. "Besides, the team will have to have our sharpshooter there to keep us safe."

He returned the smile. "I knew that nickname was gonna catch on one of these days."

"It's been a long time since it was only the 8 of us in a room together." Coran suddenly said.

"Let's make sure it's not the last." Keith said, before the team left the room.

The Lions flew through space. Sakura flew White Lion next to the giant robot. Suddenly Allura screamed in pain through the link coms.

"Allura, are you ok!?" Lance asked with worry.

"I'm fine." She answered through heavy breaths. The team continued through deep space.

"It's time to begin." Allura said, and in an instant the team is surrounded in a bright light, blinding everyone. A large tunnel of white and blue light, guiding the team through.

"Now what?" Hunk asked.

"Allura, do you feel anything?" Keith asked, and Allura closed her eyes.

"I must travel through the light." She said.

"It looks so far away. How do you know?" Hunk asked.

"The entity draws me towards it!" Allura exclaimed. "I can feel Honerva from the light. It's the way towards her!" She activates her jetpacks and flew towards the light. After a few minutes of flying, they re-emerged in a large space field with stars and lights.

"What is this place?" Lance asked in wonder and awe. "It's like ... it's like I can hear what the universe is thinking."

"Remember how the Olkari told me that everything is made of the same energy?" Pidge replied. "I think it has something to do with that."

"So, thoughts are linked across some kind of, what, cosmic connection?" Hunk asked.

"Yeah, but I think we are the thoughts inside a network of other people's thoughts." Keith said.

"Your theories are correct." Allura said. "Every star that you see is barely even small fraction of the universe's thoughts."

"Oh, this is making my head hurt." Lance groaned.

"Yeah, I'm actually with Lance on this one." Hunk agreed.

"If we are able to." Allura cuts herself off, screaming loudly and grabbing her head in pain, Lance was fast to her side.

Sakura grabbed her own head and screamed in pain, and Keith was instantly by her side. Through the pain, she heard everyone scream, and she saw Honerva.

The witch is standing in a room filled with Robeasts and an Altean woman. The coldness and darkness is strong.

The vision faded away and so did the pain, Sakura lifted her head to see everyone floating with sweat.

"What was that?" Lance asked.

"It felt like cold water running down my spine." Hunk comments.

"That was Honerva." Allura answered.

"The Dark Shadow." Sakura breathed, and Lance turned to her.

"What?"

"The entity inside of Allura is growing rapidly." Sakura answered as Keith held her protectivly. "That was Honerva's cold quintessence."

"Wait, then why did we feel it too?" Hunk asked.

"It must be because we're all connected through Voltron." Keith answered.

Allura nods. "Yes. The psychic link between us is now shared with Honerva." She clarified. "The closer we are to her, the stronger that link."

"This is too dangerous." Lance said. "Honerva is gonna use the connection to find us, to find you!"

"No, this is how we're going to find her." Allura said. "But first, I must learn how to utilize this energy to do so."

"This isn't just on you, Princess." Keith said. "We're all on this together. Maybe if we concentrate, we'll be able to feel her energy. Then we can track it back to it's source. Let's all focus."

The team closed their eyes in concentration, the Lions roared in their ears. A figure appeared in front of Sakura, she could sense no danger, it was man, wearing a warriors uniform, if Sakura had to guess she'd have to guess the uniform looked one from The Chorniclas Of Narnia moves. Suddenly the man vanished.

"This is awesome!" Hunk exclaimed as the Lions combined into Voltron.

The team flew across the galactic plane to find Honerva.

Hours went by as planets and stars flooded more of the team's vision.

"I can feel something." Hunk said. "Like an anergy inside me."

"It's the entity." Allura told him.

"This feeling, it's like." Lance trailed off.

"Like a darkness washing over." Keith described.

"It's like we're being pulled by a tether connected to our souls." Pidge said as they flew through streams of light.

"We're getting closer." Allura informs.

"Guys, I don't like this at all." Sakura said as the team flew through the colors, then soon came to a large black hole. When the team emerged - everything was dark. "It's so cold!" Sakura shuttered.

Small orbs of light appeared around the team and crackled bolts of purple lightning shooting around them as Team Voltron continued to fly.

And soon the team came to a large black space that was like a floor. The team slowly landed on it and looked around.

"This is Honerva's mind?" Hunk asked.

Allura looked down at the thick black surface. "It's on the other side of this wall." She said, just before strange creatures shreaked from below, swimming under everyone's feet.

"What is this?" Pidge asked, her eyes wide with fear.

"It feels like ... like these are the souls that Honerva has defeated and corrupted. It's terrible." Allura answered. And just as she finished speaking, the ghostly hands reached out grabbing her and pulling her down.

"ALLURA!" The team quickly hurried over to her, but suddenly the hands reached to grab everyone too. The team screamed as they were all being pulled down.

Keith and Sakura both grabbed Pidge's hands and tried feverishly to keep her from going under, but Pidge and the others were soon pulled down rapidly.

And soon it was just Keith and Sakura. Keith's bayard zinged as he activated it and rapidly stabbed at the thick black floor with his sword, but to no use.

"What happened!?" Sakura cried. "Where are they!?" Her voice shook.

"I don't know." Keith knelt down and wrapped his arm around her.

"Are they gonna be ok?" Her voice continued to shake.

He shook his head. "I don't know."

Sakura set her left hand on the thick black floor, she gasped before crying out in pain.

"Sakura!" Keith cried as she slumped in his arms. "No, Sakura." He held her close.
