I'm making this two parter into a three parter! Hope you still like!
XxXxXx
"I'm ok." Sakura reassured Keith, slowly getting up, then she gasped as she looked further ahead. It was the same figure of that flash she had!
Feeling her stiffen, Keith looked up to see the same figure. "Who are you!?" He demanded as his bayard zinged once it was activated.
"I am not here to hurt you." The man walked towards them as Keith hesitated, but lowered his sword. "The magic is strong in you." The man looked at Sakura. "And you will need every ounce of it to defeat the Dark Shadow." He moved his arm and waved it gently in front of them. "At this very moment, your friends are fighting the Paladins Of Old who have been corrupted by Honerva's dark magic." The ground showed past and present Paladins fighting each other.
Sakura knelt down to watch it more closely. "How did the original Paladins corrupted?"
"After Zarkon killed King Alfor, he demanded for the Lions' location and when the remaining Paladins refused, Hagger killed Trigel, Blaytz and Gyrgan." The man explained. "But somehow their souls got trapped within the void of Hagger's mind, and as each passing day they were corrupted."
Ssakura stood back up. "How many more lives have be destroyed until Hagger gets what she wants?" She asks.
"She wasn't always evil." He told them.
"Ever since Lotor's death, Honerva or Hagger or whoever she wants to call herself, drove farther into the darkness." Sakura replied.
"Once Honerva started experementing the quintessence, she grew a fondness to it. She even experemented on Lotor himself while in the final month before his birth." The man walked a little closer to Sakura. "May I see both your hands?" He asked.
With a frown Sakura held out both her hands, Keith watched like a hawk.
"What are you doing?"
"Do not worry Red Paladin." The man said as he took Sakura's hands and closed his eyes, before he started to glow along with Sakura, who gasped. She then screamed and fell to her knees. "No, don't touch her yet!" He yelled at Keith who started to grab her arm.
A dark cloud in the form of a raven flew out of Sakura, then flew at Keith who sliced the dark cloud in two.
"What the hell was that?" Sakura breathed as she collapsed on her knees.
"The flower that Lotor blew into your face before he stole a kiss." The man started. "That raven was from that flower, Lotor was hoping the darkness would corrupt, you so you would turn against your friends and join him."
"But it never happened!" Sakura cried.
"Because the Yellow and Blue Paladins were able to distract Lotor."
"I fainted after that." Sakura frowned.
"Your magic was fighting the darkness that Lotor had tried to put in you." The man answered as he walked up and knelt down in front of Sakura.
She turned to look at Keith, then turned back around. "What about?" She trailed off as she placed a hand on her stomach.
"Is not affected."
Keith walked up and knelt down next to her. "Are you sure?" He asked.
The man smiled. "Yes." He stood up.
Suddenly a pillar of Golden light appeared, before expanding before revealing two sets of Paladins. Old and current.
"Guys!" Sakura cried, springing to her feet with a big smile, then it quickly faded when she saw the Paladins of Old.
"Wait, are they?" Keith trailed off once he saw the Paladins of Old too.
"Yep, the original Paladins." Pidge answered.
"Allura!" Alfor gasped with surprise as soon as he saw her. The Princess looked speechless, before she quickly raced up to him and hugged him tightly.
"It is fitting that I could find what is brightest to me in the darkest place." Alfor said.
"All that I have done, I have done to make you proud." Allura told him.
"Their souls were trapped by Honerva's dark magic." Hunk said. "When we came near Honerva's consciousness, our connection attracted them to us. Crazy right?"
"But we used that connection to free them. The lions creating a bridge, sharing old memories." Pidge added.
Alfor turned to face the man who was still there. "Andros!" He smiled, everyone turned to him. "Andros my friend."
The man, Andros smiled. "King Alfor, it's good to see you my friend."
"And you." Alfor continued to smile, then it faded. "I really wanted to be there for you after the death of your sister, but the war kept me from visiting."
"You don't have to apologize." Andros reassured him.
Suddenly Allura cried as she fell to her knees and gripped her head, Aflor and Lance were quick to her side.
"What's going on?" Alfor questions.
"Honerva's connection grows." Allura answered. "We're very close to her now."
"You hold a dark enity within you!" Her father gasped. "Don't you know how dangerous that is? That is what led to Honerva and Zarkon's end."
"We tried to tell her that, Your Majesty." Sakura told him, and he looked at her. "She wont listen." She looked at Lance. "Tell him Lance."
Lance nodded. "It's true sir."
Alfor turned his attention back to his daughter. "Allura."-
"I know the danger!" Allura cut off her father. "But now we have the power to stop Honerva. You had to make a difficult choice in war by sending the Lions away. I also had to make a difficult choice."
Alfor looked down, knowing she was right.
"I not going to be afraid to use the power I have." Allura continued, standing up. "We need to continue."
"Hold on a moment." Blaytz said, he had been looking at Sakura, studying her. "Alfor! She's the Pure One!" He cried, now pointing at her with realization.
"Yes." Alfor nods with a smile, while looking at Sakura. "She looks just like her mother."
Sakura blushed with all the sudden attention, she cleared her throat. "Allura's right. We do need to continue."
"But how do we get past the wall?" Lance asked, standing up.
Allura knelt down again, placing a hand on the wall. "It's like I can feel her thoughts. The way through is with the darkness."
"Honerva went mad, obsessed with darkness and power." Alfor said.
"And now we must enter her mind." Allura stats. She closes her eyes to focus on Honerva's mind. A bright blue light emitted from and into Allura's hand, and wormhole was created underneath everyone.
XxXxXxx
Everyone flew at rapid speed and it felt like hours until finally Team Voltron came to their destination.
Everything was dark as it gave off an intense dark aura.
"Whoa!" Hunk gasped. "Wait, where are we?"
Everyone stood together, gazing up at the valley of what was Zarkon's once home.
"On Daibazaal." Alfor answered.
"It's pristine. Last we were here, all was decimed." Gyrgan said.
"The landscapes of Honerva's mind must be made up of places from her past." Allura replied.
"Wait, hold up." Lance said. "If all this is a big, old Honerva thought bubble, then wouldn't she know we're here?"
Sakura shivered. "It's far too late to turn back around now."
"About twenty years ago, the Garrison was able to map the human brain." Pidge began to explain. "They used a ventral metatronic reactor to read the thera-magnetic wave signatures of each of the subjects."
"Thank you for the science speech, Professor Holt." Sakura said with her arms folded.
"Yeah, get to the point, Pidge." Lance said, the two were tired of the long winded speech.
"A person's mind is an endless landscape of constantly shifting thoughts and ideas." Pidge cleared it up for them to understand. "We must be hidden in the chaos."
"Do you know this for sure, or is this just a theory?" Keith asked.
"Well, it's a theory, but if Honerva finds our we're in her mind, I have a feeling we'll know about it."
Allura looked around, before looking up at the large cliff behind everyone. "The enity wants us to enter the palace." She revealed, looking at the once great palace.
XxXxXxx
Once everyone trecked up the tall cliff, they made it to the palace doors. Allura walked up to the door and stretched her hand towards it, but a hand stopped it, and she turned to see her father standing there.
"Allura, please listen to me. Alteans are life-givers. Then enity you possess is a dark, ancient evil. It is not the key to winning this war."
"I understand your concern, but the enity granted us access to Honerva's mind. Without it, your spirit would still be cursed." Allura told her father calmly.
"If you're looking for real power, the ability to become a true Altean Alchemist, there is a place where you can train."
Allura paused, remembering the place. "Oriande. I know. I've been there and passed the guardians' trail."
"That's wonderful news that you were able to gain the power of Oriande." Alfor said happily.
"It isn't enough. That is why I must learn another method." Allura told her father. "The enity will guide us toward the answers we seek."
"But at what cost?"
Allura gave a long pause.
Suddenly, the gound started to shake and the door crashed. The two jumped out of the way as a large orb crashed through the door.
White Lion snarled with anger as she turned and Sakura gasped at the familar beast from their first battle. "Guys, are you seeing what I seeing!?" Sakura cried in panic.
"Whoa! Where'd that thing come from!?" Lance cried from Red Lion.
"Guys, it's the monster from Arus!" Hunk cried.
"Form Voltron!" Keith ordered.
Voltron soon formed in a brilliant color of light.
"Wait, where are the original Paladins?" Hunk asked, but there was no time to answer.
"Look out!" Sakura cried as White Lion roared as the robeast reeled its arm back and threw the orb at Voltron, Sakura could only watch as Voltron flew higher to dodge it.
"Hold in there guys!" Sakura cried, pushing on the handles of her Lion. "Let's go girl!"
White Lion shot forward, shooting it's mouth laser and tail laser at the robeast rapidly.
"Sakura look out!" Pidge cried.
"Be careful!" Hunk cried in panic.
Voltron stood still, watching as the robeast attacked the White Lion which the Lion dodged and or zigzagged out of the way of the orb
Suddenly, the orb moved back and split into three seperate orbs.
"What the hell was that!?" Keith asked with shock.
"He couldn't do that the last time we fought him!" Hunk shouted.
"This is Honerva's mind! Anything can happen!" Pidge informed.
"Wait, does that mean she knows we're here?" Lance asked.
"It appears she has guardians to protect her thoughts and memories." Allura responded.
Voltron's shield appeared before blasting towards White Lion, protecting the Lion when more orbs flew towards them.
"Guys, you gotta hold in there!" Sakura cried with tears, Voltron seemed to take all the hits as the Paladins were getting overwhelmed.
"The original Paladins, they're still with us!" Allura suddenly called.
"Voltron, keep going. We'll hold off the beast." Alfor informed, firing a laser at the robeast.
"Thanks for the help, Paladins." Keith said as White Lion flew up to Voltron.
"But where do we go?" Lance asked.
"Allura, any ideas?" Keith asks her.
Sakura watched as Voltron turned. "Yes, I know what we must do." Allura said.
Voltron activated it's sword and flew towards the shining white wormhole.
