Everyone inside the Atlas is quiet. Eyes wide with fear. Five colored lights plummeted down. Shiro's hands shook, while Veronica just sat at her station, tears sliding down her cheeks.
"Lance." She whispered brokenly, she was trying very hard to keep it all together as she had already lost her father and brother, now she had to face loosing another brother? It was taking all of her will power to not break down.
"Katie." Commander Holt breathed.
Suddenly a bright shimmered inside the bridge had everyone wince and cover their eyes from the brightness. Shiro lowered his arm and blinked a few times and his eyes grew.
Coran's jaw dropped to the floor as his eyes are huge with shock. "Princess Celestia!"
"You're alive?" Shiro breathed.
Celestia stood in an anicent princess dress that looked beautiful on her. "They sent me back." She told Shiro. She turns to the computer screen and flicked her left wrist, her Magi Staff appeared and she smiled as she took it.
"Hello, my friend." She told the staff, she then ponted her staff at the computer screen. The five Lions appeared on the screen. "The Lions are very weak."
"What about the Paladins?" Veronica questioned. "My brother!"
Celestia closed her eyes as she raised her Magi Staff, then spoke in an anicent language.

From where they had crashed landed. Each of the Lions began to glow in their respective colors. And inside the Lions, each of the Paladins glowed too.
Hunk glowed yellow, Pidge green, Allura, blue, Lance blue and red, and Keith glowed red and black.

Back inside the bridge of the Atlas, Celestia stopped chanting and lowered her staff. "I have healed what I can." She said. "Now it's up to them."

It was a bright day as the Galaxy Garriosn's flag flew at half mast. The Lions of Voltron stood behind Shiro as he's dressed in fully military uniform. "Today is a solemn day." He began, he took a moment. "Today, we look at lives we've lost, and the sacrifices that were made both here on Earth and across the universe. There isn't a person amung us here today who hasn't lost a friend or a family member." He paused as images or flashbacks of Adam and Admiral Sanda flashed in his minds eyes. "It truly feels like a light has gone out, and we can't reignite it."
Piper stood in the crowd with James and his team.
"But that light, that fire, has not gone out completely. It is fueled within each of us by the memories and the love of those we've lost." Shiro continued. "And now we must move foreward in their names and shine that light onto a new path for future generations. Today is a solemn day, but it is also a day of hope. Earth is now stronger then ever, and it stands a beacon of light to guide everyone fighting against tyranny and oppression. From here, we will spread peace and together we will hold strong as the Defenders Of The Universe!"

Shiro found Piper in confridence room. "Hey." He smiled, and she stood up from her chair.
"Hi." She ran up to him and hugged him tightly, he returned the tight hug. "Is Keith and the others ok?"
"They'll be ok. They're still knocked out cold and still healing." Shiro explaind as he pulled away.
Piper reached up, cupping his face in both hands. "What about you?" She asked with a whisper.
"I'll be ok. This is nothing compared to what I went through with Zarkon." He assured her, gently placing his hands over hers. "Sweetheart, what about you? You were up there on Sendak's ship."
She pulled away and walked back to her chair, Shiro grabbed the chair next to it and sat down.
"I'm fine." She repeated. "Celestia ... before Sanda forced us out of White Lion when we were on that ship, Celestia placed a protective spell over me."
Shiro reached over to take Piper's hand. "Celestia knows how much you mean to me."
Her eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry." She whispered brokenly as the tears slid down her cheeks.
He reached over to whipe the tears away. "For what?"
"Walking away." She choked out. "It doesn't matter what Keith said, I know you're still hurt by that."
"But I've forgiven you." He tells her. "Honey, you need to let yourself heal."
She nods. "I know." She took a few deep breaths, then looks him in the eyes. "I never asked if you." She trailed off, quickly looking away.
"You don't have to ask." He told her. "If anything, I should be asking if you want me back. Instead of helping you with the wedding date, I kept going on and on about that mission." He reaches over to whipe more of Piper's tears. "Pipes, I think we both still want to rekindle."
She smiles. "That would be really wonderful."
He leaned to her and kissed her gently.
"Can we go see Keith now?" She asked with a whisper, and he nods.
"Yeah, let's go."
As they stood, Piper giggled as she hugged his human arm. "Do you remember when Madison had a crush on Keith, while James had a crush on her?"
Shiro laughed. "Yeah. How did Maddie and James get together?"
"That's a long story really." She smiled as she leaned the side of her head on his arm.
