Furlough

After the attack on earth from the Galra Empire was a devastating defeat, every black knight was recuperating around the castle they are those tending their wounds from battle, some resting in rooms that provided within the castle others eating the alien goo. It was heartache seeing how they became a refugee as the Japanese didn't have a choice.

But the positive side some those like children and teenagers were looking awe at the glass window seeing the vacuum of space and the stars admiring such a sight. It was the first time in their life seeing such a sight and not only that even walking and staying inside a star ships as they called it able to travel galaxies instantly.

Some of the children were in the hanger looking at the lions in awesome even sitting on its paw playing on it while others just circling around playing tag.

While some civilians looking at the outside of space let's call this person old man Jen kin he has seen a lot in his lifetime the day on the invasion, the occupation of Britannia to area 11, and the SAZ massacre he has seen it all.

But what truly surprise in his life was learning that Amanto really does exist and that they aren't alone in the universe.

Kyoshiro Todoh along with the four holy swords and other black knights were in the training room, training against the Altean training robot trying to keep their mind and body sharp for any attack from the Galra or keep their mind of the invasion and failed in their duty to save Japan .

Kyoshiro knew they were outmatched and outgunned when the Galra came seeing the giant flying fortress that was the size half of the moon he knew they were outmatched, it wasn't just that the emperor of Britannia willingly sold earth to the Galra to let the planet occupied by the aliens, how low the man can get for his survival.

With no allies and attack from two fronts

But seeing how powerful Zarkon changed his mind he never felt fear that this before how one person beat the entire knightmare squad and voltron lions only using a bayard and his strength it was terrifying. It was like the story David against Goliath.

" We will resume tomorrow, dismissed everyone! " .

" Yes sir! " all shouted and disperse.

" Tohdoh Sensei"

"Suzaku"

"You've been pushing too hard on yourself Todoh sensei " Suzaku looked concern at his teacher.

"Looks who's talking Suzaku we know why your pushing hard"

"I know I failed to protect Euphemia is one the reason ". Suzaku can't forget how Euphemia was minutes from dying and if it was because of Altea medical technology she was saved but he can't stop thinking if he was to late to save her.

"My reason is that I failed both Japan and earth but it doesn't mean the end as long we haven't given up yet". Todoh told his student his reason.

"Sensei"

" I have the duty of this men and women who joined the black knights, As long we have voltron there is still hope , you should join with your friends Suzaku it's important to rest and enjoy what we have. "

" Thank you Tohdoh sensei ". as he left looking for his team mates.

Todoh was happy seeing how Suzaku is changing as he finally accepted what happen to Genbu and no longer sought to kill himself. It also implies with Lelouch as the boy was no longer the type to kept secrets and angry to the world. It could be said meeting Voltron help them change for the better.

Allura was strolling around the castle seeing children were running around the castle Happily as she smiled seeing how lively the castle has become. She make sure Coran locked anywhere that was dangerous like the engine room, armory, and any places that accidents can happen.

It felt like the old days when she would run around the castle happily playing hide and seek with her parents and Coran as she would hide and would look for her those were the days.

As of right now everyone was resting from the battle as a lot of civilians were trying to distract themselves from the aftermath by walking around in a sci-fi starship/castle while some hopping a destination a new home away from war and discrimination as they once called elevens.

Allura needs to find the refugees a new home to live away from the battle especially the children and elderly if they are caught in collateral damaged if the castle is under attacked again. She already had Coran to advise her on what planet is suitable for the refugees for a temporary home.

"Coran any planet we can let the civilians live?"

"Well we can let them live in Arus the flora and fauna on the planet seems appropriate for humans biology and I don't see any problems for the Japanese sharing a place with the Arusian".

"We could let them live in the planet Balmera it help with the Balmerians with communication with alien life think as a cultural exchange program. What about the planet Suzaku , Rivalz and Miily crashed Aquatica it can another experience of living in underwater and learning how to swim with the Mer".

"Sounds fun but I doubt everyone could get used living underwater that long and we lack the resources to build a temporary colony on the planet "

" Your right their still other planets that we visited before during the paladins training". As Coran and Allura debate which planet for the refugees can live.

Lelouch was busy looking at the datapad everything that they had supplies, medicine, clothes, food, and etc making sure that the civilians are getting enough of everything until they can find a temporary planet to relocated. As he discussed with Allura of the situation. And she agreed for the refugees' temporary settlement.

He was also happy that Nunnally was safe along with the others but it come with a price as the earth is occupied by the Galra and his mind was furious that Charles was willing to sell the planet and working with the Galra.

So many casualties and death so that he could save his skins. But Lelouch doubt those nobles and other faction would able to grip on their title of nobility that long as the concept of the Galra strong is might is bigger than some Britannia ideology by Charles. Those pigs would be forced to fight or a painful death in some gladiator tournament. Their noble title strip without a second glance, forced to work as slaves for the Galra and all of their pride shatter instantly.

It wouldn't be just Britannia even the E.U. Chinese Federation would get the same treatment as all of their title strip and make in slaves.

How Ironic it sounds the world finally became one but under the tyranny of the Galra. But earth was still the paladins and

Still, there was this nagging feeling in Lelouch head a question about What If...; they never did find the Voltron lions and he continue his rebellion would he find the answer to what happened to his mother, his revenge against Britannia, would they be prepared for the Galra invasion and what his friendship with the others would it change.

As much he wanted to ponder it doesn't matter,But he never regret finding the blue lion because of this meeting he was able to change, open up with others especially his friends and finding out that Rai was his half brother and Kaguya and Suzaku cousin, Nunnally was able to see and walk again, Suzaku change for the better and his friends understand him.

But whatever the challenge maybe they would triumph together as a team.

This chapter focus on relax first as before they go to battle again.
